Hey guys I am back… are you happy? No... ? Ok. I'll just go and cry in my corner of shame ( I don't really have a corner of shame… that's just lame… and that rimmed) and… oh, wait, nope I can't go and cry. Who would write the story if I cried? Anyways… let's continue with the story!

As Natsu answered Mirajane's question she looked at him confusedly.

" Gods? What do you mean gods Natsu? I don't really think gods terrorize humans. Humans even pray to the gods."

" Yes, Mira, they pray to the gods. But why?" he said.

" Well, um… Because gods created humans. And we own them our lives."

" Wrong, Mira, that is wrong. People pray to the gods because they are afraid that gods will unleash their wrath upon us once again. They pray to gods to please them so they wouldn't punish them for their 'sins'."

" What do you know about religion?! You came out of a cave only three weeks ago! What makes you think you know anything!?" she asked/ yelled at him.

" I know many things. I know much more than you can imagine. You think I am a stupid barbarian just because I lived in the forest for my whole life? I will tell you something you might find very interesting. I was abandoned by my parents when I was only six months old. If my father hadn't found me I would be long dead. I own my life to my father, because he taught me everything I know right now." Now he started yelling so all of the guild could hear him. " You people think you know everything… You think you are the most powerful beings in this world? You can use magic, so what?! You are just too blind and ignorant to see beyond the horizon and believe what other people say. You say dragons are a myth? You say people pray to gods out of respect? Demons are just characters you put into books for little kids, you say they represent sins. You are all wrong. Dragons, Gods, Demons, they exist, and they made this world you live in today. If you don't believe that… It's just proof of what I just said." as he said that he turned towards the doors of the guild and started making his way out of the guild.

He was stopped by the sound of applause. He turned around to see a man on the second floor applauding and smiling. He had short blond hair, he was very muscular and tall. He was wearing a coat around his shoulders and on his head he had an item called Sound Pod. His hair was slicked back although some of the strands would wall over his forehead. He also had a distinctive lightning scar over his right eye.

His name was Laxus.

" Well said young man. I like your little speech. It is really good to know there are people like me in this world." he said and smirked at the dragon slayer.

" And who are you? I'm sorry I am new around here. I don't know much people besides Mira, Gary, Erza and master." he said to the blonde mage.

" Ah, so you're a new recruit? The name's Laxus. I am an S-class mage and also one of the strongest in the guild."

" What do you mean by 'people like me'?" Natsu asked totally ignoring the fact he was an S-class.

" What do you say you and me go get a beer and I'll tell you."

" … Sure."

The two of them left soon leaving the whole guild in complete state of confusion.

" What the **** just happened here?" one member asked.

" I have no idea. He just started talking about dragons and stuff and then he became buddies with Laxus.

Mira just looked through the door of the guild wondering about what Natsu has said.

' Did I hurt his feelings? I know he acted all smart and all but I was pretty rough on him... '

In a bar not to far from the guild two mages were sitting at a table and drinking beer.

" So, you new here? When did you join?"

" A week ago or something like that. You?"

" Well I've been here for years. I am masters grandson. He told me to show you around and help you find your own place. He told me that he gave you the room down the hall on the second floor. That room belongs to Gildarts Clive. He is our strongest member after gramps. I will help you find another place to stay because gramps and I know how rowdy and loud they can be, he also figured you would want some privacy. After we finish the drink I'll show you around and help you find an apartment. After that I have to go on a mission but I'll be back later on. The Fantasia festival is coming soon so gotta be here." Laxus explained.

" Alright. I guess we should hurry up then, if you need to go on a mission. And you don't have to bother helping me out to find an apartment. I actually talked to a man two days ago. He said he was selling a house really cheap because he is moving to Clover town. I already bought it just need to take my stuff there."

" Well then, that settles that." he said as he finished his beer and left the money on the table. " I gotta go, I'll see ya 'round."

" Yeah, see ya. Good luck on that mission."

As Laxus left the bar he bumped into a red-head knight.

" Well hello there Erza. What brings you to these parts?"

" Quit joking around Laxus, what are you doing here? When did you get back?"

" Well I got back a few hours ago, gramps had some info for me, after that I shared a drink with my new friend and now I'm off again."

" New friend? Who might that be?"
" Oh, you've already met him. It's a pink-haired boy who believes in dragons." Laxus said and smiled.

" Natsu? When did you meet him?" Erza asked now all confused.

" Oh, just as I was going to head out he had a speech so I listened to him. You know he really knows some stuff. After that I invited him for a drink."

" Wow, I didn't know you would share a drink with some weaklings just because they are good with words."

" … This kid is not to be underestimated Erza, he's a nice guy, keeps his cool, and he might seem like some small fry but he's a formidable opponent."

" I see… Interesting. Well then see you later. Are you gonna be here for the Fantasia festival?"

" Yeah, I'll be there. Well I'm off now."

" Good luck."

" Thanks."

After Laxus headed off to the train station Natsu came out of the bar. As he cooled his head after his outburst today he started walking towards the guild to pick up his stuff and go settle in his new house/mansion.

As he was walking he saw a red-head standing and looking at him with a smile as she was waving her hand.

" Natsu!"

He ran towards her and smiled. As he came closer he saw she had a couple of bruises and her hair was messy.

" Hey, red, what happened to you?"

" Red?"

" Um, … Ezra?"

" Erza. It's Erza. Anyway, where were you?"

" I was with Laxus in a bar drinking. And what happened to you?"

" Drinking with Laxus? And what do you think about him?"

" He's ok. And what happened to you?"

" What do you mean ok?"

" I don't know. Will you answer my question?!"

" Nothing happened to me. I was on a mission."

" And you couldn't have said that earlier?"

" Anyway. Are you going to the guild?"

" Yes. You?"

" Me too. Let's go."

They started walking towards the guild and chatted a bit on their way.

When they came closer they saw master sitting on the bar counter and was steaming from rage.

They came closer to see what was going on, as they came closer to the bar they saw Mira's troubled expression.

Natsu decided to ask her what was the issue.

" Mira? What's wrong?"

" Natsu! Oh, Gray stole and S-class job and took off with Lucy."

" Gary took an S-class job and… took who?"

" Lucy, he took Lucy with him. And it's Gray. Not Gary. Gray!"

" So what is the problem? I mean people take missions every day. Except… that guy over there."

" This is a different mission. It's an S-class mission and that guy is Nab."

" Master! Do I have your permission to go after them? I will bring them back so that you can punish them." Erza asked.

" Alright Erza. You can go. Just bring them here safely."

" Yes, master. Can I bring Natsu with me?"

" Eh?! Me? Where? When? Why?"

" You, to Galuna Island, now, because I want to have back up on this mission. It is an S-class mission."

" … Um, not interested." He said as he sat down and started eating food that came in front of him out of nowhere.

They all just fell on the floor.

" What do you mean not interested?! It's an S-class mission! It's a privilege to go on one, and with Erza two!" a random member yelled.

" So?" Natsu just said dumbly.

" Come on Natsu. We still haven't done that one mission I promised you that we would go on."

" Oh, right. Ok." he said.

" Alright let's-"

" Just let me finish my meal."

They all just fell to the floor again.

" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" they yelled in unison.

" Ok, ok I'll just go take my stuff and we can go."

" Why do you need to take your stuff?"

" Because I can't just leave my dragon egg here. Someone can steal it."

They wanted to say dragons don't exist but remembered what he said earlier today.

" Alright just hurry."

As he came down Erza was already gone and most of the members were as well. A few of them remained in the hall.

As he made his way towards the doors of the hall Mira stopped him at the entrance.

" Natsu, I'm sorry about what I said earlier today. It was mean and I didn't mean it."

" It's ok Mira. You can't expect a random person you met a week ago to believe you about dragons and gods and demons and ancient prophecies and stuff. I know I wouldn't."
They shared a small laugh and then Mira handed him a small box.

" I made you some lunch so you can eat on the way. You'll need your strength on the mission."

And as she said that she hugged him and ran back in the guild.

He stood there and looked at her back smiling.

" Thanks." he whispered and turned towards the train station.

After five minutes he was in front of the station looking for Erza.

" You are late." Erza said behind him staring daggers at him.

" Uh, hehe, sorry. I got held up. Anyways where are we headed?" he asked.

" Hargeon town. From there we will look for a boat to the Galuna Island."

" Um, we are going there by train, and then by boat?"

" Yes, why?"

" Oh, man just kill me now."

" What? Why?"

" I have a sever case of… motion sickness."

" … really? Motion sickness? Man you are pathetic."

" What do you mean?"

" Ah, nothing. Let's go."

" Ugh, fine."

As they boarded the train, they looked for an empty car to sit in.

They closed the door and sat opposite of each other.

When the train started moving Natsu just went pale and laid down as he started feeling sick. As the train moved faster his motion sickness got worse.

After a few hours of riding they got to Hargeon port and started looking for a boat. Natsu had no luck at all as all the sailors said he was mad, that the island was cursed and other stuff.

" No luck at all. They won't even hear me out…"

" That's because you are an amateur. Let me do this." Erza said and smirked.

Natsu just sighed.

" It's no use Erz-"

As soon as he turned around he saw a huge pirate ship in the dock and Erza on the deck of the ship.

" What's taking so long? Climb aboard!"

" How the hell did you do that?!"

" I told you. You're an amateur!"

There guys. You happy? No? Good, 'cause I don't care. So just read and review and the next chapter is coming out soon!
