Wolf; What's up everyone? Welcome to Chapter Four of Twin Dragons of Fairy Tail. Thanks to everyone who has followed, favorited and reviewed. This chapter has two more Dragon Slayer OC's that I based off people I've met before. In this chapter, they learn Water and Ice Dragon Slaying Magic.
Anyways, onto the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. If I did, the OC's wouldn't be OC's.
Introduction Arc: Chapter 4: Glacier
Skies over Ishgar
Kai and Natsu are both looking at the hole in Kai's shirt.
"So, what are going to do with your shirt, Kai?" asks Natsu.
"Probably burn it, no point in me wearing a shirt with a hole in it." responds Kai.
"Actually, for this next element, your shirts aren't going to be necessary." says Igneel.
"What's the next element Igneel?" asks Kai as he lights his shirt on fire.
"Aqua, the Water Dragon, will be your next teacher. Like the dragons before, she is also training a slayer."
Kai and Natsu look around them and see ocean and a cove with a blue scaled dragon on the sand. They look a little closer and see another kid with blue hair standing next to the dragon.
"Igneel, is that Aqua?" asks Natsu.
"Yes. We'll be there shortly."
On the ground, Aqua and her slayer, Mizuko, are looking up at the sky watching Igneel descend.
"So, that's Igneel? And he's bringing his two children here?" asks Mizuko.
"Yes, now try to get along with them." says Aqua in a motherly tone.
"I'll try, but don't expect me to."
Igneel lands on the beach and walks towards Aqua and Mizuko. As soon as Igneel stops walking, Kai and Natsu jump off his back and walk to the front and see Mizuko and Aqua.
Aqua is a four-legged dragon with turquoise scales and horns centered on her back. She appears to be more serpent-like. Aqua is slightly shorter than Igneel and has deep blue slitted eyes.
Mizuko is a young boy about the same age as Kai, ten years old. He has medium length messy blue hair and eyes so blue it can rival the ocean. He wears no shirt and black shorts.
Mizuko looks over at Kai and Natsu and hopes that he can get along with them.
"Hi, I'm Kai and that's Natsu." says Kai as he points to himself and then to Natsu.
"I'm Mizuko. I thought you two were brothers? You don't look alike." asks Mizuko.
"We're not blood related. Igneel adopted me after I lost my family. I was taken in after Natsu was." responds Kai.
Mizuko nods his head in acceptance and continues getting to know the two Fire Dragon Slayers.
"This is going a lot better than I thought it would Igneel." said Aqua
"For now, anyways. I just hope Mizuko doesn't get annoyed from how active Natsu is." responds Igneel.
The two dragons look at the three slayers and notice that Mizuko looks like he's getting pissed. They look at Natsu. They see and hear him challenging Mizuko and Kai to fight to see what Mizuko knows. Mizuko looks over at Kai and asks, "Is he always like this?"
"Not really, he typically wants to fight at the end of our time with a dragon, to see if he became stronger." responds Kai.
Mizuko groans and leans back to lay down on the sand. He turns his head to the right and looks at the water. He sticks his arm out and brings some of the water to his arm. He makes the water flow around his arm before sending it back out to the ocean. Natsu and Kai look at Mizuko with shock on their face.
"You already know some magic?" asks Natsu.
"Sort of. I just know how to get the water to follow what I say. Aqua was about to train me then Igneel came by and told us about you two coming here, so she decided that I'll learn alongside you guys. Water Magic was easy to pick though. Just be calm and let your body feel the sway of the waves." he responds as he sits up and looks at the two brothers.
'Great another element where I have to be calm.' thought Natsu
"I think it's time they start learning." Aqua says as she walks to the trio, "Alright young ones. It's time to begin your training. To learn how to use Water, I'll need you to enter your meditative stance and sit where the ocean meets the land."
The three rise and walk over to the shore and sit down and begin meditating. Mizuko immediately lets the water flow around him and relaxes himself so the water doesn't strike anyone around him. Kai lowers his heart rate and feel his magic pull the water to his upper body. Natsu manages to get his heart rate down, but struggles with his magic pulling the water to his upper body.
"Igneel, have they learned Sky Dragon Slaying Magic yet?" asks Aqua. Igneel nods in confirmation. Aqua then turns back to the slayers and tells them, "Kai, Natsu, Water Dragon Slaying Magic is like Sky Dragon Slaying Magic. You don't force the water to go around you. You guide it and let flow smoothly." explains Aqua.
Kai soon lets the water form small ring around his body. Mizuko opens his eyes and sees how fast Kai has picked up Water Magic. 'Looks like he's the exact opposite of Natsu.' He looks over at Natsu and sees him with water shifting up and down his body. 'He needs to be more relaxed.'
As soon as Natsu hears that is just like Sky Dragon Slaying Magic, he begins to relax further and slows his breathing to slow his heart rate down. Soon after, the water on his body starts to move around and sticks to his arms forming a thin barrier.
"Good, now that you know how to use the Water around you, we can begin your Water Dragon Slaying training. The moves you will learn are Water Dragon's Roar, Vortex Talon, Jet Claw, Rapid Kick, and Tsunami Fist. We'll start with the Roar today. For this inhale and bring all water on your body to your stomach and release it as one powerful roar." explains Aqua.
The trio enter their stance for their roar and begin to inhale the air and water around them. After a couple of seconds, they release the attack, "Water Dragon's Roar"
They aim their attacks out towards their water. A torrent of water erupts from their mouths and reaches fifteen feet out before dissolving into mist. Aqua looks at all three in minor surprise. 'I didn't think they would get it that powerful at their age. They'll be quite powerful when they get older.'
"That was awesome!" shouts Natsu. Mizuko looks over at Natsu and silently hopes that Natsu will get quieter as time goes on. Oh, how wrong he will be.
Kai was looking out to where the roar ended and thought, 'Mizuko is quite powerful if he could match the size of the roar. Rin trained a lot just so he could match us.'
"That was good. Keep on practicing that move. Try to make it bigger, and make it go out farther." says Aqua.
The trio nod in reply and inhale water from in front of them. "Water Dragon's Roar" three huge torrents erupt from their mouths and reach fifteen feet in front of them again. They keep trying to get the roar to go farther out, but can't release enough power to make it last longer.
Later that night
The three have their hands on their knees and are currently trying to catch their breath.
'Come on, one more time.' they all think in unison.
They all inhale and 'eat' the water in front of them and release it one powerful burst, "Water Dragon's Roar" a torrent of water erupts and reaches twenty feet in front of them, then dissolves into mist. All three look at where the roar stops and gain a smile, happy that they could finally make their roar last longer. They lay down to relax and soon drift off to sleep on the edge of the shore. Aqua and Igneel walk over to them and notice that they have fallen asleep.
"I've never seen Mizuko be that exhausted." says Aqua with surprise in her voice.
"Their drakes. They're going to push each other and try to be better than the other. I should know. That's how Kai and Natsu were able to master the Fire Dragon King moves in a couple of days." responds Igneel.
"Mizuko seems to be getting along nicely with Kai and Natsu."
"I just hope Natsu doesn't piss off Mizuko too often. Otherwise, they'll be more like rivals." responds Igneel.
The Next Morning
The slayers wake up and notice that they are resting against a cavern wall. The look out and a pile of fish that Aqua had gathered for them. All three look at each other before shrugging and having Kai and Natsu cook it with their fire. Afterwards, they dig in and finish the pile in five minutes flat. The look towards the cavern entrance and notice that the sun has barely risen. They walk out and see Igneel off to the side. They look out to the ocean and Aqua swimming around.
"I was wondering when she was going to go back into the water." says Mizuko.
Kai and Natsu turn to Mizuko and ask him, "What do you mean?"
"Water Dragons typically can't stay out of water for so long. Last time she was in the water was the day before yesterday. I know it doesn't seem that long but Aqua told some Water Dragons can't even get out of the water."
The trio then look back and see Aqua swimming towards them. She stops as she reaches the shore. She asks the boys to get on her back. They ask why and she explains that the next part of their training involves being out in the water. They trio climb on her back and feel as she speeds through the waves. After getting far enough, she dives under and tells them to use the water and create a bubble to trap some air around their head. As the trio begin to try to form a bubble around their head, she dives under the surface. After holding their breath, the trio keep trying to form a bubble around them. As soon as they feel the need to breathe, they form the bubble and can breathe easily now. Aqua turns her head around and sees that they have the bubble around their head formed.
"Good. Now, since you're learning Water Dragon Slaying Magic, you'll need to learn how to fight underwater. Don't worry about your air running out. One advantage to being a Water Dragon Slayer, is that your lungs will adjust and you'll be able to breathe underwater. First, you'll have to learn how to swim underwater." says Aqua.
The trio look at each other and back to Aqua before trying to swim around. Mizuko kicks downward and feels himself move. He keeps trying and soon feels himself moving around. Kai and Natsu struggle with it and then try what Mizuko is doing. As soon as they kick, they begin to feel themselves move. After a couple of minutes, they begin to move and catch up with Mizuko.
"Good. Now, try using your Water Magic to move."
The trio then use the water surrounding them and guide it to their feet to gain an extra boost while swimming. As they are swimming, they don't notice that the bubble surrounding them is getting smaller. Soon after, the bubble disperses and they feel water rush at them. They quickly close their mouth and look up to see how far they are from the surface.
"Don't worry. Slowly breathe in and your magic will adjust your lungs to breathe underwater." explains Aqua.
Kai and Natsu look over at Aqua and look at her lie she's crazy. Mizuko listens to her words and lets the water enter his lungs. For the first minute, his grabs his chest from the pain. After that minute, he starts gasping and he realizes that he is still breathing. He looks up and see Aqua looking at him with pride.
Kai and Natsu look over at Mizuko and see that he's still alive. They look at each other and nod. They let the water enter their lungs and feel the pain of water rushing into the body. After a minute, they look up and see Mizuko swimming around with ease and telling them to swim over.
They look at Mizuko in surprise, surprised that he can talk.
"Interesting, huh? Aqua told me to try talking. So, I tried and found that we can still talk underwater. The water that enters your mouth is weird at first, but you get used it." explains Mizuko.
Kai opens his mouth to talk and feels water enter, "Oh god, that feels weird. Anyways, easier to move underwater now?"
"Yeah, you don't have to worry about wasting your breath." responds Mizuko.
"Now, that you can breathe underwater, we can continue your training. The next two months aren't going to be any easier. By the end, you should have mastered Water Dragon Slaying Magic."
Two Months Later
One year has passed since Natsu and Kai were told about their unique ability to learn the other elements. Since then, they have learned and mastered Sky, White, Shadow, Iron, Poison, and just recently, Water Dragon Slaying Magic. The 'twins' have become friends with all the slayers they have met and can't wait to see the others again. The two have gotten along well with Mizuko. Kai has gotten along with him better due to both being just as calm as the other. Mizuko learned to appreciate how hyper Natsu is grew closer to him after that.
Kai let his hair grow out and it now reaches the bottom of his back. Natsu kept his hair looking the same, not wanting his hair to look like Kai's. Mizuko still keeps his hair looking the same, short and messy.
Currently, Mizuko, Kai, and Natsu are standing on the shore, preparing for their spar.
"Alright, we all agreed that Natsu and I are just Water Dragon Slaying Magic, right?" asks Kai.
Mizuko and Natsu nod their head, and let the water from the ocean climb up their body and rest on their arms. Kai follows their lead and does the same with the water. They look at each other and nod once ready. Natsu and Kai take off first and charge towards Mizuko. Mizuko looks them and rushes towards them. All three meet in the middle and collide with a Jet Claw from Kai, a Vortex Talon from Mizuko, and a Tsunami Fist from Natsu. Since both are using their arms, Natsu and Mizuko begin to push their attacks towards Kai. Kai feels them pushing and begins to push back and hope that they'll remain unmoving. Natsu and Mizuko push harder and launch Kai back into the water.
'Bad idea, guys.' thought Kai as he falls into the water.
"We probably shouldn't have launched him into the water." said Mizuko with a small hint of regret on his face. Natsu nods in agreement and looks out to the water and wonders when Kai will resurface.
Meanwhile, with Kai. He swims to bottom and uses his Water Magic to propel him upwards. As he approaches the surface he prepares his attacks. He gathers the water around his leg and forms it into a cyclone. Afterwards, he breaks through the surface and goes speeding towards Mizuko.
Natsu and Mizuko see Kai burst out of the water aimed for them. The see he has an attack prepared and bring the ocean to their body, hoping to lessen the blow.
As Kai gets closer, he twists his body so he can aim his kick at their chest. Seeing Kai twist his body, the cross their arms over their chest to lessen the pain of the impact. Kai reaches them and delivers a strong Water Dragon's Jet Claw to Mizuko's chest. Mizuko feels the pain of the impact and gets launched back to their cave. He rolls to a stop and pick his body up off the ground and looks at Kai and Natsu locked in a clash. He looks down at his chest and sees that the water he used for armor has disappeared. He feels pain in his chest but ignores it and runs back outside and charges up a Water Dragon's Tsunami Fist. Once he gets closer, he jumps into the air and comes down with a Tsunami Fist and clashes with Kai and Natsu. Water shoots out like a geyser and completely covers the three. Right as the water erupts the trio get launched back. Mizuko gets launched upward and lands in the water. Kai gets launched backwards and runs into a rock. Natsu got 'lucky' and ran into Igneel and Aqua right as they landed. Natsu looks up and sees Igneel looking down at him.
"Hey, Igneel." he says nervously.
"Fighting with Mizuko and Kai?" Natsu nods in response not trusting his voice to not come out high pitched.
"Looks like I was right, Aqua. They were going to fight." he turns back to Natsu and asks, "Where's your brother?"
Natsu looks back to where Kai should be and sees him lying face down on the sand next to a cracked rock. Natsu runs over and checks on his brother making sure he's still breathing. He turns him around and sees his chest rise and fall.
"Natsu, where's Mizuko?" asks Aqua as he points out to the water, where Mizuko is laying face up, floating on the water. Aqua goes to Mizuko and picks him up with her claw and lays him down on the sand. Natsu picks up Kai and places him next to Mizuko and switches to his Sky Dragon Slaying Magic.
He places his palms over Kai's head and begins to heal him. After a couple of minutes, Kai's eyes open and he quickly raises his upper body off the ground and sits on the sand. He then grabs the sides of his head and looks around to see what happened. Natsu then does the same to Mizuko. Mizuko soon opens his eyes only to quickly close them due to how bright it is. He then slowly opens his eyes and sees Aqua and Igneel looking down at them.
"Oh man, my head hurts. What happened?" asks Kai.
"We were hoping you could tell us. We saw water erupt like a geyser and hurried over here." said Aqua.
The memories of their fight come rushing back and they explain what happened, in detail. Igneel looks over at Kai and Natsu, then to Mizuko before sighing.
"You're lucky you're Dragon Slayers. Kai and Mizuko could've been seriously injured if they were regular mages." responds Igneel.
The trio then look down in disappointment. Aqua then explains to them that since their drakes that fighting is a common thing, and that they don't have to stop fighting because of what happened. Igneel then switches topics and tells them that in a couple of hours they'll be heading to the next dragon to continue their training. Kai and Natsu look up and nod in reply. They look over at Mizuko. They then go back to the shore and just lay down and relax. Letting their bodies heal and their magic containers time to refill until Kai and Natsu have to leave.
Couple of hours later
Kai and Natsu climb onto Igneel back and wave goodbye to Mizuko and Aqua. Igneel then takes off and heads north for their next dragon teacher.
Northern Fiore
Kai and Natsu look over and see mountain ranges covered in snow.
"Igneel, what are we doing here?" asks Kai, now wishing that Rin didn't destroy his shirt. He glances over at Natsu and sees him putting his shirt back on. 'Wait, use my fire' he then creates a little ball of fire and holds it close to his chest.
"The next element you're learning is Ice Dragon Slaying Magic. You will be taught by Eira, the Ice Dragon, and trained alongside her daughter." responds Igneel
The twins look down and notice that they can't spot Eira anywhere.
"Igneel, we can't see anything." says Natsu
"I know. Being here in the middle of a snowstorm will enhance your eyesight. You'll also build a better immunity to the cold."
Natsu and Kai look at each other and shrug in response. They soon feel Igneel descend and once again attempt to see if they can spot Eira. Once again, they can't see that far ahead. They give up on looking and just go back to relaxing. Some time passes, and they feel Igneel land. They look in front of them and can finally see a dragon in front of them. They get off and walk to the front of Igneel.
Eira is majestic dragon covered in white and blue crystalline scales. She has horns protruding from the top of her skull. She is a lot like Igneel in terms of length, but shorter than Igneel. She has blue slitted eyes and white claws.
Standing next to her is a young girl about Natsu's age, ten years old. She has blonde hair that flows freely down her back. She wears a white short-sleeved top and blue pants.
"Eira, are these the boys you told me about?"
"Yes, Crystal. These are the slayers that will be training alongside you." responds Eira.
She looks over at Kai and Natsu and immediately notices that the silver-haired boy isn't wearing a shirt.
"Um, why aren't you wearing a shirt?" asks Crystal.
"Oh, one of the previous slayers we were with aimed a claw attack at my stomach. I was able to block it, but he managed to put a hole in the middle of it. So, I burned it. I didn't see the use of wearing a shirt with hole over my stomach. Also, we were going to learn Water Dragon Slaying Magic, so I burned it." responds Kai.
She continues looking at him before turning to Natsu and asking him his name.
"I'm Natsu, and that's Kai, my brother."
She gains a look of surprise and begins to ask, "You're brothers? But you don't-"
"'Yeah, we know. We don't look anything alike. We're not blood-related. Igneel took both of us in after we lost our family."
Igneel goes off to the side and talks to Eira.
"Good to see you Eira."
"Pleasure to see you too, Igneel. Are you positive your two boys are ready for this? I know they've learned other elements, but this could be the more difficult for them to learn."
"Don't worry about the difficulty. In one year, they've learned six new elements for their use. And before you ask, they've learned it that quickly due to a drive to be better and stronger than the other."
Eira looks over at the boys and sees them sitting in the snow talking to Natsu and Kai. She notices that Kai has a more relaxed body structure, while Natsu seems to be more on the hyper side.
'Well, I suppose it won't be as challenging as I had hoped it would be.' Eira think to herself.
She walks over to the trio and see the three still talking.
"We're going to begin your training. Kai, Natsu, since Crystal already knows the basic of manipulating ice, so for the first part of training she'll be helping you. Now, to manipulate ice you need to understand that ice flows around you. You don't force the ice to move, you guide it and shape it." explains Eira.
Natsu and Kai look at each other and enter their meditative stance. The feel the cold around their body and feel the ice around them. They feel the cold creep up their body and slowly make its way to their arms. They feel the cold on their arms and open their eyes to see that ice is coating their arms, providing a small defense.
Eira and Crystal look at Kai and Natsu and immediately think, 'They picked that up faster than I thought they would.'
"How did you pick that up so fast?" asks Eira.
"It was like Water Dragon Slaying Magic. Let it move how it wants, we just have to guide it a certain way." responds Kai.
"Well, that will make everything easier more you then. Crystal, join them. It's time to begin you Ice Dragon Slayer training. The moves you will learn are Ice Dragon's Roar, Claw, Glacial Fist, Ice Spires, and Shield. The first move your learning is the Ice Dragon's Claw. For this, move your ice to your leg and make it colder. Once the attack lands it should freeze whatever part your Claw hit. You'll have to use this move on each other to make sure you get the move down." explains Eira.
Crystal is the first to get the move down. She guides it to her leg and shifts it so that spikes are formed all round her leg. Kai and Natsu try and realize that it's a little harder to guide than water. After a couple of minutes, Kai and Natsu get the move and shape it to form spikes. They aim their kick at each other and feel the rush of the ice freezing their skin. Crystal aims her attack at Natsu. Kai and Natsu immediately decide that the next move might be aimed at her. Eira removes the ice from the two boys and tells them to work on the Ice Dragon's Claw.
Later: At Night
The three dragon slayers are lying in the snow relaxing after being able to use the move more effectively. As they lay down, Crystal looks over and sees that Natsu is fidgeting and looks like he wants to do more. She looks at Kai and realizes that he is much calmer than she originally thought. The three hear stomping coming towards them. They stand up and look at where the sound is coming from. They notice Eira is coming. She tells them to follow her to the cave. As they arrive at the cave, they feel that the cave feels warmer despite being covered in ice. As they are about to question it, Eira tell them to get some sleep. The two twins groan about having to sleep, but begrudgingly agree. They lean against one wall, while Crystal takes the wall on the opposite side of the cavern. After finding a comfortable position, they soon drift off to sleep.
The Next Morning
The three Ice Dragon Slayers slowly wake up and notice a dead Vulcan in front of them. They look around and see that Eira is waiting outside for them. Kai and Natsu switch to their Fire Dragon Slaying Magic. They aim their hands at the Vulcan cook it for their breakfast. Crystal was the first to dig in, and Natsu and Kai soon follow. They soon finish and walk out of the cave leaving a pile of bones where the Vulcan was. As exit the cave, Eira turns around and tells them that it is time to continue their training.
"Today you'll be learning the Ice Dragon's Ice Spires. For this you have to channel your magic into the ground around you and form Ice Spires. Slam your hand to the ground and spires will form going to your target." explains Eira.
The trio channel their magic to their palms and gather what they believe will be enough. They slam their palms to the ground, "Ice Dragon's Ice Spires"
Ice cover the area where their hands are. Ice spires shoot up forward, moving towards the cave. As the spires hit the cavern wall, they slayers look closely and notice that the spires pierced the cavern wall. Eira then tells them to practice the move and work on making the spires bigger.
Afternoon of that same day
The slayers found that making the spires were easier than learning the Ice Dragon's Claw. Eira comes to talk to them and talks to them about enhancing the senses.
"While in a snowstorm, you'll be enhancing your sight and hearing." she explains as she creates a blizzard.
The slayers look around and notice that they can only see each other and nothing else. Kai opens his mouth to speak. Crystal look at Kai and realize that they can't hear him.
'Great. Can't see or hear anything.' thought Natsu and Crystal. Kai looks at Natsu and Crystal soon realize that they didn't hear him. He moves forward to see if he begin to see anything. The trio spend minutes of looking around to try and figure out how they're going to hear or see anything in this blizzard. Kai and Crystal sit down and enter their meditative stance to see if they relax enough to think through this. Natsu looks over at Kai and Crystal and sees them meditating.
'What are they doing?' thought Natsu to himself. After a couple of minutes, Kai and Crystal stand back up and close their eyes and focus more their hearing. They keep their eyes closed for a few minutes, before they can hear what sounds like Igneel talking to Eira. They focus harder and soon hear words.
"They seem...understand what...have to do. They may...this in...of days." is all they can hear coming from Igneel.
Natsu looks over at Kai and sees his eyes closed and a focused expression his face.
'Focusing on hearing. Guess I'll try.'
Natsu soon follows and closes his eyes and focuses on his hearing. After some time, he hears Igneel and Eira talking, though he can't make out any words. He focuses more and begin to hear words coming from Eira.
"Natsu seems...understand how...enhance his hearing...Looks like...senses will...enhanced...a matter...days."
The trio open their eyes and notice the blizzard dying down. They look forward and see Eira and Igneel looking at them.
"Good work. You're learning how to enhance your hearing. Over the next couple of months, you'll learn to enhance your sight and you'll learn and master the rest of the Ice Dragon Moves." says Eira.
Two Months Later
The three slayers finally master Ice Dragon Slaying Magic and enhanced their senses. They trio had trouble getting along at first, due to Kai being too calm and Natsu being too hyper, but nonetheless, they got along and now act like brothers and sister.
Currently, they are lying against the cavern wall, enjoying the sun that is peeking through the clouds. Even Natsu feels like relaxing. As they lay against the cavern wall, they hear wings flapping in the distance. They look to the north of them and see Igneel and Eira flying towards the mountain.
"Natsu, think they'll be expecting us to fight?" asks Kai.
"Yeah. You and I always fight after we're done training." responds Natsu.
"How often have you fought that Igneel would expect you to fight?" asks a surprised Crystal.
They think it over and respond, "Don't know. Lost count after one hundred."
Crystal just looks at them in surprise before shaking her head and sighing.
'Guess Eira was right with drakes wanting to fight all the time.' thought Crystal.
"Although, we've never actually seen who's stronger out of the two of us. Igneel either stops us, or it ends because another Dragon Slayer delivered a powerful to one of us." adds Kai.
"Sounds like the other slayers are more powerful than you." she responds with a small laugh.
"Hey! We are much more powerful than the others!" responds Natsu.
"And how many times have you beat them, Natsu?" asks Crystal. Natsu then flushes in embarrassment and turns away from her. Luckily, for Natsu, Igneel and Eira land in front of them.
"No fighting? I don't know if I should be impressed or worried." says Igneel.
"It was a nice day so we decided not to fight. Although, Natsu may want to fight pretty soon." responds Kai.
Igneel then turns to Natsu and see him with pout on his face looking away from Crystal.
"What happened?" ask Igneel. Kai then explains how they were talking about how often Natsu and Kai fight. Then explains that they were talking that they've never come to a decision about which of the two is stronger. He brings up that they also fought the other dragon slayers the trained with. He then says that Crystal said that the other slayers seem to be stronger than us.
"Then Natsu responded by saying that we're more powerful. To which Crystal asked, 'And how many times have you beat them, Natsu?'"
The two dragons look at Crystal, who is rubbing the back of her neck in embarrassment, then to Natsu, who still has the pout on his face.
"Then why aren't you acting like Natsu?" asks Eira.
"Well, I am little pissed at the strength comment, but she has a point. They only slayers we've beaten are Sting and Rogue, and that seemed more like luck than actual strength. I've also beaten Gajeel, but that was after eating the shadows and gaining an extra boost in strength." explains Kai.
"You're pretty smart for a kid." responds Eira.
"I just think a little more than Natsu does. I'm not much smarter than Natsu is."
The dragons look at the trio before telling them to head back to the cave. Igneel tells them that they'll be leaving in a couple of hours. Kai and Natsu nod and go back to Crystal and go back and relax against the cave walls.
A couple of hours later
Natsu, Kai, and Crystal are standing outside the cave. Crystal looks at the duo before pulling them into a hug. Kai and Natsu return the hug. Crystal pulls away with tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Crystal. We'll see each other again." says Kai.
"Yeah. You're our sister now. And that means we'll come back and visit you again." adds Natsu.
Crystal looks at the two of them and hugs them again. This when she pulls away, she pushes them toward Igneel.
"Don't come back until you've proven you're stronger than the other slayers. Can't have my brothers be weak that they can't protect themselves." says Crystal as she slightly laughs at the last part.
Both brothers laugh in response before saying, "Of course, Crystal. We'll come back."
Kai and Natsu say in unison, while waving goodbye to her as they get on Igneel's back. They also wave to Eira, as Igneel takes off. They look down and see Crystal and Eira looking up at them. Igneel flies towards a mountain range for their next elemental training.
Wolf: There's Chapter Four. Hope you all enjoyed. Remember, to leave a review for who you want Natsu to be with. I'll choose Kai's after I have Natsu's five girls decided. So, leave a review for who you want.
I'll see you guys next chapter. This is Wolf, signing off.
