The Legend of Natsu

Chapter 3: Fight for what you want

~With Natsu and Acnologia~

If you looked into the cloudy sky you could see a dragon yep that's right a dragon in the sky but whats weirder is that the dragon was being repeatedly hit with fireball like things and remained where it was. Now if you were close enough you could see that it wasn't fire per say it was a man or was it the man looked more like a reptile than human and it kept flying around and hitting the dragon in all its weak spots without rest.

"Is this it the all mighty king of dragons is being bested by a mere dragon slayer how pathetic I don't know how you killed my father but I will take your life for what you did you beast!" Natsu yelled at the dragon hitting it more and more.

"You are starting to annoy me you little pest your attacks are like bees stinging me it's annoy if you aren't going to even hurt me then I have know time for you and I won't fight back you are no dragon slayer you are nothing but a disgrace." The confident dragon said to the half looking dragon before swatting him away like a bug and starting to fly off into the distance to find a real fight.

"You want me to use my full power I will but be prepared cause you won't be able to fly after I'm done with you!" Natsu declared before charging up his signature move and jumping towards the fleeing dragon aiming right for his belly to cause the most damage possible. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST" He yelled and struck the flying beast sending it at amazing speeds into the cloudy sky above out of sight.

"You damn brat that actually hurt I guess your better than I thought but it doesn't matter because I have other business to attend to so say goodbye to your friends and say hello to Igneel for me in the afterlife young dragon slayer!" The apocalypse dragon said to the dragon slayer below before charging everything he had into his roar. The clouds started to get dark and move out of the way so you could see the intimidating beast above the ground in all its glory. "APOCALYPSE DRAGON ROAR" The blast was so fast that Natsu didn't have time to evade it and it struck him to the ground and engulfed him in a blue, black, and white dome of energy.

"I don't have the time to dodge I'll just have to block it then." Natsu said as he prepared to take the oncoming blast full on but once it made contact with the dragon slayer it sent him plummeting to the ground and the blast followed him to the ground beneath. After taking the hit he was already unconscious before he hit the ground and he reverted to his normal form.

The blast was so loud bright and big that people from around the country could see it but they knew it was the work of the almighty dragon king destroying a village town or maybe just to destroy.

"That wasn't bad young dragon slayer you are indeed the strongest I've meet before you could have gotten much stronger with my power though you may be strong but you are an utter fool goodbye young one." Acnologia reverted to his human self and slowly walked through all the rubble and debris from the blast luckily for him the were no trees in the way because there was no sign of life whatsoever in this mile radius from his blast. Once he reached Natsu he prepared to strike him and finish him off.

~Natsu's Mind~

"Where am I am I dead already?" Natsu woke up in a dark room and even his enhanced vision couldn't see anything in front of him. And was beginning to think he had passed on in his fight with Acnologia. "Dang it how did I lose I haven't changed at all in the past year I just wanted to beat him and get revenge for Igneel why do I always break my promises why am I so weak all the time!" Natsu shouted in anger towards himself. After what seemed like an hour Natsu finally calmed down and took a deep breath. "I guess I might as well sit back and wait till something happens but man am I bored."

After about another hour there was a bright light and a white silhouette appeared and it looked to be a dragon. "Natsu my son why have you started to doubt your strength and will I certainly didn't raise you like this it must have been your human friends huh?" A deep voice joked.

"Igneel is that you?" Natsu asked curiously and looked at the silhouette now turned into a creature.

What he saw was a dark red dragon with rock hard scales all around it and a scar on the right side of his face barley passing through his eye.

"Of course it is son have you already forgotten your old man can't say I'm pleased with that." The dragon joked again to his adoptive son.

"Oh it is you." Natsu said losing his curiosity and gaining a frowned look on his face when looking at his foster father.

"What is with that depressed face are you not happy to see your old man that is what you wanted isn't it son?" Igneel asked seriously this time.

"It's not that I don't want to see you but that just means I'm dead and I couldn't even avenge you or live up to your hopes I really am useless aren't I?" Natsu sadly said.

"Who are you, you are definitely not my son you could have fooled me with your appearance but you do not act the same as him at all so tell me who are you?" Igneel asked but not in a joking matter he was really worried how his son got this far lost and knew just how to help him too.

"What do you mean I am Natsu and I'm not acting different this is how I always am so stop being silly old man." Natsu said quietly but loud enough for the red dragon to hear him.

"No my son would either be excited to see me even if he was dead or angry he got sent beat up but you are acting like a depressed teenage schoolgirl." Igneel stated before smacking his son away.

"Hey whats your..." But before he finished his sentence he looked around and saw trees and life everywhere around him but he could vaguely remember all of this. Eventually he noticed where he was, it was when he lived in the forest with Igneel one of the best times of his life. "Hey how did we get here? It looks so exactly like it did all those years ago and I remember all of it." Natsu excitedly asked the dragon completely forgetting that he got hit recently.

"Now there is my good old some but before I tell you that let me explain some things you need to know. First we are currently inside your head so you can pretty much see anything you want. And secondly your mind holds all your memories so I can pull them out at will that is how we are here right now." The red dragon informed in a calm manner but stern enough to get him to listen and remember.

"So what are we doing here there has to be a reason right?" Natsu asked but you could tell he was very distracted by what was going on around him also forgetting why he was sad in the first place.

"This place was to remind you of your past and to have a heart to heart talk with you because I've noticed you have been straying from the path I wanted from you." Igneel told Natsu but he wasn't listening at all he actually wasn't even there at all he ran off into the forest. "Hey you damn brat listen when I'm talking to you, you disrespectful punk." After demanding this and catching up with his son he grabbed him and yelled at him to listen. "Natsu this is no time to be messing around you have to beat Acnologia and before you ask yes you can get sent back into the real world but you have listen to what I have to say." After saying this Natsu looked at him and looked away.

"Why should I go back it doesn't matter I'm not strong enough anyways he'll just beat me again and my friends don't need my help they probably don't even want it anyway especially after they know what I am." Natsu told his father dejectedly still not looking in his eyes.

"Listen I don't know what happened to you over your year of training but you changed you shouldn't be blinded by revenge that isn't how you get your strength your strength comes from your desire to protect the things you need to protect." Igneel told the pink haired "kid".

"I said they probably don't want my help you even know I'm a demon and you didn't tell me all this time I know you were trying to protect me but you know I could have handled it if you would have just told me about my past. That doesn't matter my friends are fine anyway so they don't need me."

"Your wrong your friends are in dire trouble they need you whether demon, dragon, or human only you can save them they cannot take on the spriggan 12 on and defeat Zeref at the same time I know your in doubt but it doesn't matter what they think you still need to protect them you promised them didn't you? Then you have to keep fighting like I taught you but first you need to accept whatever comes only then will you be able to leave this place so tell me are you willing to give it your all to save your loved ones no matter how they treat you from now on?!" Igneel questioned getting louder and louder throughout his speech.

Once Natsu heard that they were not going to make it something snapped he got out of his fathers grasp and told him proudly. "Your right I have to accept what I am and if they leave me they leave me not everything lasts forever but they still helped me when I needed it all those years ago so I have to protect them whether they think I'm a monster or not. I am Natsu Dragneel son and prince of the fire dragon king Igneel! Natsu yelled the last part letting some of his magic seep out.

"Actually since I have passed that doesn't make you a prince anymore do you know what it makes you?" The large red dragon asked his son waiting for his response.

"...I don't know so I'm not a prince then?" Natsu asked gloomily lowering his head.

"No you idiot it makes you the king of the fire dragons and if you defeat Acnologia you shall earn the title of king of all dragons so go my son and claim what is yours and protect what you want to protect." Igneel stated before Natsu started glowing into bright particles beginning to vanish from sight.

"Thank you Igneel for giving me my courage back and for always protecting me I will always have you in my heart dad." Natsu told his father tearing up a little.

"And I you son. But before you go I need to tell you that you can have as many mates as you want because you are a king also please never go in full dragon force it shortens your life span considerably. Goodbye my son." The great dragon said his final words to his son.

"Don't know what you mean by mates but I'll try not to use that transformation as much." Then he dissapeared into nothingness.

~The real world~

"Goodbye dragon prince too bad you couldn't even leave a mark on me." Acnologia stated before moving his left hand to go through his heart. But before it could get to him something grabbed his hand.

"Sorry but I'm not dying yet and especially not today and I just found out I need to be somewhere else too so lets finish this quickly." Natsu told Acnologia confidently before kicking him away and going back into his draconian form. "Sorry Igneel first this I do when I get back is doing what you told me not to oh well you probably expected that." Natsu thought before going to attack Acnologia who already turned back into a dragon.

"How you should be dead or at least unconscious so tell me how are you up and fighting like nothing happened? I put all lot of power into that roar of mine." The dragon asked the dragon slayer.

"You don't need to know lets just fight my friends need my help and I'm going to give it to them." Natsu charged back at the dragon but this time he wasn't focused purely on rage but was in control of himself. And when he said he wanted to finish this he meant it he went all out. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST", "FIRE DRAGON ROAR", "FIRE DRAGON CLAW", "FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK", "FIRE DRAGON FLAME ELBOW", "FIRE DRAGON CRUSHING FLAME", " FIRE DRAGON BRILLIANT FLAME!" After unleashing a shit ton of magic on the dragon everywhere on his body all the scales on the apocalypse dragon got destroyed and he was forced to revert back into his human form.

"How does one dragon slayer have this much power not even I could master that half draconian half human transformation it's unheard of so how did you do it." The dragon king asked the pink haired slayer.

After using all those spells Natsu was completely exhausted of his magic and plummeted to the earth once he landed on the ground he answered him. "I don't know honestly I didn't even try to use it you were the one that pushed me so I guess I should thank you for that." Natsu answered tiredly and breathing heavily.

"Why don't you finish me you have beaten me in combat all you have to do is vanquish me and you will claim the title of dragon king." The current king of dragons asked Natsu.

"You know, I don't care about titles or anything really but I am already the fire dragon king and that's all I want to be. I might have wanted to be kill you at first but I guess people change huh. We should do this again sometime though it was really fun." Natsu stated and closed his eyes preparing to sleep right on the rock hard ground but man did it seem comfortable right now.

"You know I could kill you at this very moment if you let your guard down." Acnologia stated still lying on the ground.

"You know as well as I do that you cant get up either so I would call this a tie and just to let you know I..." Natsu didn't get to finish his sentence as he already fell into deep slumber returning to his mind and dreams but this would be one of the last times he got a good rest in a while.

"Hey what were you going to say kid?... Hey wake up don't fall asleep!" The dragon now human yelled but then also started drifting to sleep himself but before falling asleep there was one thing on his mind. "You are an interesting man Natsu Dragneel I hope we clash again until them goodbye for now son of Igneel." And with that last thought the king of dragons drifted to sleep.
