Chapter 3: Back In the Past

"Ugh, where am I?" Natsu questioned as he sat up and opened his eyes blinking out the black spots from them.

In front him was a forest with many of the trees burnt down and scorched patched of grass everywhere.

"Why does this place look so familiar and WHY IS MY VOICE SO HIGH?" Natsu squeaked.

"NATSU GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!" a familiar voice roared.

"N-no w-way," Natsu turned his head to see something he searched for all his life, "I-igneel."

"WHAT CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO NOT TO BURN EVERYTHING!" Igneel scolded.

"Heheh sorry, I'll try not to next time," Natsu stated sheepishly.

"What's wrong? You're crying?" Igneel observed.

"It's nothing..." Natsu wiped the corner of his eyes and thought,' I'm in the past now and have to make sure not to give anything away, but it's really cool to see Igneel again.'

"Hey what year is it?" Natsu asked.

"X775 why?" Igneel answered.

"Nothing!" Natsu quickly replied. Igneel looked confused as to why would Natsu ask that question, but shrugged it off.

Natsu looked around to see his own home with Igneel. His own body was a lot smaller and back to the size he was before. 'This must be what Kami meant when he said I was in for a surprise. My magic reserves are still the same as before though,' he thought to himself.

"Hey Igneel, check this out!" Natsu began to gather his magic power and proceeded to show Igneel his moves from the future.

Fire Dragon's Roar, Fire Dragon's Claw, Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, Fire Dragons' Wing Attack, Fire Dragon's Sword Horn, Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame, Fire Dragons Flame Elbow, and Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang!

By the time Natsu was done demonstrating there was a raging fire and the surrounding area was utterly destroyed.

Igneel looked shock at the power Natsu had," A-as expected of the son of the fire dragon king. How did you get so powerful Natsu?"

Natsu had a bright smily and a held a peace sign,"Wait, I'm not done. Check this out!"

LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON MODE!

Igneel eyes widened when he heard those words,'I-impossible,' he thought, but the proof was in front of his eyes. Natsu's body was surrounded by fire with lightning dancing and flickering around him. Natsu's magic power erupted and his aura was incredibly powerful. "Amazing,' Igneel muttered.

Lightning Dragons Ro-a claw slammed him to the ground.

"You fool! Not here!" Igneel stopped him before he could cause any more damage.

"I was just getting to the good part!" Natsu pouted.

"How did you get this strong and obtain lightning for that matter?" Igneel questioned.

"Well, I was walki-OMPH," Natsu fainted from exhaustion.

"It's too much strain for his body. How did you get so strong without me noticing Natsu and how come I can sense a deep pain within you?" Igneel carried Natsu's resting form back to the cave while pondering these thoughts.

'Natsu, how come you didn't save us,' Lisanna said,'where were you when I was killed. You demon.'

'I tried! I'm so sorry!' Natsu cried but her image disappeared and was replaced.

'Hey, flame-brain, I thought we were friends. I needed your help but you ditched me,' Gray stated.

'No please! I tried to but it was already too late!' Now tears started to run down Natsu's face.

'You wimp,' he said before he disappeared also.

'You brought me to Fairy Tail. I thought we were a team, but I guess a loser like you wouldn't save anybody.' This time it was Lucy.

'No! I swear they held me back. Please!' Natsu screamed but she was already gone.

'What happened to living for your friends?' a voice from behind said.

Natsu turned around,' Erza. You must understand it wasn't my fault!'

She shook her head and glared,'More lives would have been saved if YOU died.'

Natsu flinched and with tears falling he stared ahead unable to comprehend anything until a familiar barmaid appeared ahead.

'Natsu' she said wtih contempt.

'Mira!" he ran to her to apologize only to get punched back.

'Don't come close to me you MONSTER! Because of you, my brother and sister died! It should have been you.' were her last words before she too disappeared.

Natsu cried for all his worth until an urge made him look up,'Gramps.'

Makarov slapped him,'You do not have the right to call me that. I should have never allowed to join Fairy Tail.'

Seeing his father figure after Igneel ridicule him was too much for Natsu to bear and something inside him broke. He clutched his head and screamed.

He heard his guild mate's voices insulting him and each one hurt more than the last.

'Loser'

's-stop' he muttered.

'Weak'

's-s-stop' he muttered again.

'Pitiful'

'p-please s-s-stop' he begged.

'Murderer'

Natsu lost it,'STOP IT!'

He screamed over and over until he lost his energy and he faded into the darkness.

Natsu sat up fast drenched in sweat,' A nightmare. Of fucking course.'

He told himself to calm down and took deep breaths.'In and out, in and out,' he thought to himself.

After he felt he was good he walked out the cave to see Igneel, but he was no where in sight only a big giant inferno until he saw writing scratched into the ground.

I have some business to take care of. I left some fire on the ground when you wake up cause I know you will be hungry. By the time you finish eating I will be back.

'Hmmm I don't remember Igneel ever going anywhere in the past. Nah I probably just forgot,' and with that happy thought Natsu dived into to the inferno and ate with vigor.

"Igneel's fire is the BEST!" Natsu shouted out to the world with glee as he patted his full belly and just like what Igneel wrote Natsu could see his father's dragon shape followed by...

"ANOTHER DRAGON!"

Natsu started to panic, 'I know for a fact that only Igneel trained me, so why the hell is there another dragon! I couldn't have screwed up this quickly...ok maybe I could but still all I did was show Igneel my powers...shit! I showed Igneel all my powers! Ok ok calm down Natsu lets see what happens.'

The two mighty beast settled down. The second dragon was light yellow with black streaks though his body, it had a curved horn at its forhead, and a spiked neck. It's wings were a darker yellow tinted with gray making it look intimidating.

"Hey brat, it's rude to stare," a gruff voice came from the new dragon.

Natsu ignored him,"Igneel why is there a new dragon?"

"Don't ignore me!" the dragon roared,"Igneel this brat is just like you. Shows no respect."

Igneel ignored him too," This my son is Thane, king of the lightning dragons and he here to repay a favor." Thane gained a tic mark on his head and was getting angry.

"Oh, but why is here?" Natsu continued.

Before Igneel could answer Thane cut in,"I will not be ignored! As the thunder king, I demand respect!"

Igneel chuckled," Of course o'mighty thunder king"

Thane puffed out his chest looking smug,"As it should be."

Nastu and Igneel tried and failed to stifle their laughter.

Thane just sighed deeply,"Enough Igneel, just tell me what's so important that you need me to come all the way here."

Igneel composed himself and stated,"Its better just to show you. Natsu please show Thane what you showed me earlier."

Natsu understood what he meant and nodded.

LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON MODE!

Right away though he turned it off and sank to one knee breathing heavily as the mode cost too much magic power in his current body and would cause him to faint like earlier.

"I-impossible," Thane said in awe,"how can this puny dragon slayer have control over two elements?"

"Hey!" Natsu shouted indignantly at being called puny.

"Yes, Natsu how did you get so powerful and learn to control the lightning element?" Igneel looked at Natsu waiting for an answer.

"Well..."Natsu started off and then started to think to himself,'Crap! What am I suppose to do? I can't really say I got it in the future battling an enemy to save my friends. Crap! Crap! Crap! I got it!'

"Well..." both dragons prompted.

"Well, I couldn't sleep one night during a thunderstorm so I just walked around when lightning struck one of the trees causing the tree to burn so I started to eat the fire. Then I thought to myself,'Hey if lightning cause fire, then that must mean I can eat lightning!'

Both dragons sweat dropped at this.

'What stupidity!' Thane thought.

Igneel just chuckled at his 'son's way of thinking.

"So I climbed up the mountain our caves out and went to the top and when lightning struck,"Natsu paused dramatically," I bit it and ate it!"

Natsu smiled widely looking pretty proud of himself while the two dragons just stared at him.

'Idiot,' they both thought.

"But, that still shouldn't give you the ability to eat lightning." Thane stated.

Natsu already anticipating this said,"It didn't at first. It hurt like hell, but then I got angry and kept trying and it worked!"

At the end of his sentence he smiled and gave a big thumbs up.

The dragons face faulted.

"Anyways Natsu, I have brought Thane here to help your lightning dragon slayer skills." Natsu's eyes widened at Igneel's words.

"R-really?" Natsu couldn't believe it. With the power of a lightning dragon slayer, by the time he faced Tartarus he would be way stronger.

"Yes," this time it was Thane who answered,"I owe Igneel one, and I will help you learn to master the strongest element of all, lightning!"

Thunder boomed and lightning flashed at his words.

"Dramatic much?" Igneel muttered.

Thane ignored him,"You will be my nephew and I will be your uncle. My training will be tough and since you are already powerful in fire, Igneel would train you even harder. At times you might curse us, swear at us, and wish to kill us, but that is good because the results would be outstanding. Do you accept?"

Natsu stood up straight with clear determination in his eyes and said loud and clear,"I do."

Igneel looked proud at Natsu's word.

"I had my doubts Igneel, but this child you have raised has a strong will. Natsu you are worthy of being my dragon slayer. I hereby name you Natsu Thundera Dragneel, Son of the Fire King, and Slayer of Lightning!" Thane roared.

Timeskip to July 7,X777

Natsu knew this day would come. The day where all the dragons would leave. Igneel and Thane were nowhere in sight. He clutched the scarf that Igneel gave him and looked at two new additions that weren't there in the past. On his right wrist there was a black weight wristband and on his left there was a yellow weight wristband, however; both of them actually were weightless.

He asked Thane what were the point of them, but Thane just said,"A gift to my student."

Natsu never asked about it again and instead wore the wristbands everyday.

Natsu was ready to leave the mountains and go to the place he called home and met everyone.

"It's time to go to Fairy Tail!"

AN: And that concludes chapter 3. Most of you want this to be a NaMi (NatsuXMira) for a pairing and others want harem. I also have a request for NaLu (NatsuXLucy).

Instead of just saying you like the pairing can you tell me why? That way I can make the pairing more realistic. Also I plan to make Natsu have up to Laxus level strength by the time of canon.

If you want him to be weaker or stronger leave a review and just say so. And do you want me to write chapters describing the training or flashbacks to certain parts?

Its all up to you readers.

So leave a review to tell me what you think! Till next time!
