Chapter 3
"GIHE, You're going to regret doing that Salamander," Gajeel said as he was instantly covered in iron scales.
"Quite flapping your lips and fight me already," Natsu said as he was grinning like a madman until he noticed an extra head of blue hair mixed in with his competition.
"WENDY," Natsu exclaimed in a shocked and hurt tone, "WHY ARE YOU HELPING THEM?!" Natsu continued.
"Sorry," Wendy responded with a look as though the hurt in Natsu's voice had shoved a dagger through her heart. "But if I don't help them they won't stand a chance as they are now," Wendy pleaded hoping that Natsu would understand she wasn't doing this as an act of betrayal, but because she knew he loved to fight.
"If you say so. You always have been better at gauging people's magic limits," Natsu said with a small smile, making a wave of relief spread through Wendy and shock through everyone else. Gajeel even hesitated, considering whether or not he should actually fight Natsu, but shook it off as he steeled his nerves.
"Alright, the lineup for this match is Natsu Dragneel against Gajeel Redfox, Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser, Elfman Strauss and Wendy Marv…" Makarov was saying before two voices cut him off.
"THAT'S DRAGNEEL," Wendy and Natsu yelled in unison as they glared at Makarov.
"HOW THEY HELL ARE YOU TWO MARRIED/ YOU MARKED HER," came the yell of everyone from the guild, with Gildarts, Cana, Happy, Romeo, Carla, Pantherlily, Laxus, and Gajeel yelling the other in a rage.
Yet what stunned everyone was that Gildarts, Cana, Romeo and Happy looked just as if not more pissed than Carla, Pantherlily, Laxus, and Gajeel did.
What everyone didn't know was that Natsu had explained, in detail, exactly what was required of him to do to mark someone as his mate, something that he was only allowed to explain to them as he had marked each of the four as his family officially making them part of the royal fire Dragon family line.
Laxus and Gajeel were pissed as they both were Dragon Slayers so they knew a general idea of what all was required to happen. As such Laxus now had lightning sparking off of him while Gajeel had a light green aura surrounding him.
"Actually, I started it," Wendy said timidly with her hair in her face and a full body blush as those that knew what about the details of Dragon Slayer rituals suddenly looked like all their magic power had just been drained out of them and their jaws hit the ground.
"WENDY," Carla exclaimed in shock with both paws over her mouth and eyes as big as dinner plates.
"*Sigh* alright everyone sit down, we better explain what happened before anything else happens that will result in someone doing something they'll regret," Natsu said as he walked up to Wendy and pulled her into a tight hug as everyone now saw she had lost her blush and was shaking slightly.
Once Natsu had calmed down Wendy he picked her up in a bridal carry and walked over to a nearby piece of rubble that as slanted in such a way that he would be comfortable lying against it.
"Sit down and shut up, we're only saying this once and we're going to have to drag up some shit we don't like even thinking about, got it?" Natsu said with a glare and tone that sent a shiver of fear through everyone as they quickly did as instructed.
"Hey Mira, did you guys manage to bring the alcohol I left with you," Natsu asked making some wonder why Natsu asked.
"Erza, did you re-quip that large box I asked you to," Mira asked getting a nod from the knight a she bought the box out of her pocket dimension.
Once the box was out Mira walked up to it and hopped up grabbing the top lip of the box before she hoisted herself into the box. Moments later three of the walls fell down to show that the box was actually a portable guild hall of sorts.
"Ah, here we are. I only have a handful though considering Cana would always use them for rituals," Mira said as she sprung up from behind the bar to see everyone had taken sets on the benches but Wendy and Natsu were right in front of her on the stools.
"That's fine," Natsu said as he opened the gallon bottle and proceeded to take a rather large drink.
"So, just what happened to you two," Gildarts asked with concern at the sight of Natsu actually TRYING to get shit faced drunk, something he had NEVER let happen to himself.
"Where the hell do I begin, well I guess I should start by explaining how the hell we were the only ones affected by Fairy Sphere," Natsu said in a bitter tone with a depressed look as Wendy looked like she was doing everything to keep from breaking down making everyone extremely worried.
Yet Natsu didn't give them long to think as he soon started to explain that the three grand Fairy spells that the first Master made were actually the human form of the ultimate spells of the Fire, Sky, and Iron Dragons.
"Fairy Law was an imitation of the Iron Dragon's ultimate defense and offense spell that was titled Iron Law," Natsu began though he refused to explain further as to what the difference between the two was when Gajeel wanted answers.
"SHUT THE HELL UP," Natsu yelled as his fist made contact with Gajeel's face sending him fly back.
"The ultimate Dragon spells could only be used by the Dragon Royal family. Meaning even if I did explain, it would be pointless as you'll never be able to use it," Natsu snapped as everyone including Gajeel were stunned to see Natsu fighting with every fiber of his being to avoid having an emotional break down in front of everyone at just the thought of what had happened.
Seeing this Makarov cringed at the realization that Natsu was only talking about this because he didn't have a choice. Something Makarov had tried to avoid making his children feel as he thought it better that they be able to work through things in their own time with the knowledge that they had the guild to support them.
Just as Natsu was about to continue his explanation the lump in his throat blocked his voice with the first of several years worth of suppressed tears broke free as Natsu's limbs buckled out from under his own weight and he finally lost control.
Seeing Natsu finally break, Wendy quickly moved to his side and pulled him into a tight comforting hug as everyone watched in shock at the sight of the unbreakable Natsu crumbling before their very eyes.
"I think the spell explanation can wait, we need to understand what's happened to you tw…." Erza began when Natsu had cried himself to sleep having expected Wendy to cave to her demand.
"That's not possible, Natsu and I have lived a life of pure, unfiltered, HELL FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEAR," Wendy spoke as the volume of her voice increased with her growing rage before she took a moment to calm herself.
After all she was the daughter of Grandina. It wouldn't do for her to let things that were said and done to make her lose her composure as the princess of all sky Dragons. Something the others were taking note of as Wendy currently had an aura of a calm, dignified, composure.
Granted Wendy preferred acting like herself around the other Fairy Tail members, but she was quickly coming to see the only was she and Natsu would pull through informing the others of what had happened was if she act like Grandina had taught her for when she spoke with others of royal status.
"In order for you to know what happened to us you need to know how it was even possible. Which means you need to understand the ultimate Dragon spells as they are directly involved with that answer," Wendy spoke in a regal tone shocking many, "so with all due respect Scarlet, sit down and shut the fuck up about matters you have no comprehension of." Wendy snapped in clear aggression yet still retained her regal composure to suppress the flood of emotions fighting to burst free of her control.
"As I was saying," Wendy began when Erza complied and snapped everyone's attention back to what she was saying. "Fairy Glitter is the copy of the the Fire Dragon Royal family's ultimate attack spell Eruption Flame. There's just one massive difference, where Fairy Glitter is a devastating attack that will eradicate any intended target, Eruption Flame vaporizes not only the intended target but everything in the surrounding area, with the only exception being the user themselves. Not only that, but the stronger the caster is the larger the area that gets destroyed. The fire that this move makes burns everything, dirt, water, air, people, EVERYTHING, even Ethernano, the VERY substance that allows a spell to even work. Worse yet, the flames it makes won't stop burning until the intended target is completely destroyed," Wendy said to everyone's shock.
"Which is why I've never once used it in a fight and Natsu made it so I can only use it if I've meet specified conditions, one of which is having his prior permission to do so," Cana said to verify what Wendy stated though she had also ended up gaining everyone's attention as they finally saw the intricate chains on the wrist and ankles of the Dragon in her tattoo signifying her ability to even use the spell.
"It's that dangerous?" Makao asked in awe at the power of the spell that the guild had been pestering Cana to show them for the past seven years.
"It's that powerful and more, in the entire history of Dragons it had ever only been used twice. Once when it was created, and once again years later during the Dragon war against Acnologia himself. Yet the bastard survived by eating the flames. Normally that would have killed him but thanks to him being a chaos Dragon, he survived because he can eat anything that has an end result of chaos," Wendy said in recollection of Grandina's lessons on the spells as everyone turned their attention back to her in shock.
"The only spell that has successfully countered Eruption Flame is the sky Dragons ultimate spell Sky of Protection. Or that's the rumor that Grandina told me," Wendy stated, glad she was at least almost done with this part of the explanation. "What Sky of Protection does is it forces a shell made of sky Dragon magic to form around the caster in order to heal them using the power in the dome itself. The bad part is that when it shatters it does so violently, with the shell becoming shrapnel so the caster can have room made between them and their enemy as time is the same on the inside as on the outside unlike Fairy Sphere. As such it's too dangerous to use around friends as only those of a Royal Dragon Family can even be in it, and I mean of actual blood relation," Wendy said as she paused knowing what was going to happen when that sank in.
"SAY WHAT!"yelled the guild, waking Natsu in the process.
"You mean to tell us you and Natsu are actually related to Igneel, and Grandina," Gajeel said in shock.
"Yes," came Wendy's simple reply
"Which is part of why I wanted to fight three wizard saints at once. When Wendy and I marked one another, the seal Grandina and Igneel placed on us to seal away our memories and next to all our magic, was undone. In turn returning both," Natsu said with a grin making everyone worry about how much destructive power Natsu really had.
"Anyway, now that you know the spells we can tell you what happened," Wendy said as she ran her fingers through Natsu hair due to her having put him back to sleep and set his head in her lap. All so they could work through the rest of his break down in private.
"When Acnologia was charging his final breath attack it triggered Natsu and I to subconsciously use our ultimate Dragon spells in the same instance Mavis had triggered Fairy Sphere. Should it have been just Fairy Sphere and Sky of Protection then there wouldn't have been a problem and Natsu and I would have lived the last seven years "playing house" as Gray said," Wendy remarked in a sarcastic tone purposely trying to make Gray feel bad because she knew how much his comment had hurt Natsu. Needless to say it worked because Gray now felt like shit as there was clearly more to what happened than he first thought.
"However that didn't happen, instead Natsu's, Mavis' and my spell all cast at the same second forming an unexpected unison raid that ended up sending us to an alternate reality," Wendy explained shocking many as she cast a spell over herself and Natsu to show the guild the last seven years as she knew she wouldn't be able to simply tell them no matter how she tried.
Flash back
Natsu groaned as he woke only to find himself in a dense forest. Upon that fact sinking into his head Natsu immediately bolted upright and began to look around only to see Wendy a few feet away from him.
Quickly scrambling over to her Natsu shook her as he called her name in a surprisingly quiet voice for once not wanting to attract the attention of possible predators in the area.
Most wouldn't have been surprised at this however Natsu was a kinetic learner, a fact that made him an extremely dangerous enemy. All of which was contributed to the fact that the longer someone would fight him, the faster he would develop a plan to counter each of said person's moves and come up with a plan to defeat them.
Just as Wendy was waking a bone chilling sound fills the air, making them both freeze in place.
