Chapter 6: A New Fairy Tail Generation

10 Years Later

In the town of Magnolia it is said that there is always something going on. They say because it's so close to the port town of Hargeon, or because of their many festivals that they hold. Yet the town's people know the very reason for why there is always something happening in their town. It is none other than their own wizarding guild that has been here for countless years; Fairy Tail. They were the center of their marketing success….so long as they didn't end up tearing up the town, but Magnolia loved Fairy Tail nonetheless. In Fairy Tail there have been many guild masters. Mavis, Precht, Makarov, Macao, and even Gildarts for a very brief moment. The last Guild Master was Makarov Dreyar. Sadly he had passed away.

That was two years ago when he finally made his leave from this world. He never thought he would pass from the world in peace, but he was wrong. Fairy Tail gave him the biggest farewell of his life. When he passed he did so with a lasting smile, and a final memory that would last a lifetime. Now two years later the Fairy Tail is still in good spirits under their current Guild Master, Natsu Dragneel.

When he took the post he had matured exceptionally, and took the brunt of the blow rather well. He still made plenty of time for his daughters, and wife Erza. He still had his moments where he picked fights with Grey, but that was fine with the guild. He still knew how to lay down the law of the guild though that was for sure. Which brings us to him now out in the back watching both of his daughters spar.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Hiiro yelled and a jet of flame erupted from her mouth

Haru stood there and consumed it "Really?! Did you just do that?!" and opened her eyes to find her sister in front of her

Summoning a black blade in her hand Hiiro shouted "Diagonal Rush!"

Haru flipped back dodging Hiiro's attacks, before rotating in the air, and summoning her own black blade "Fire Dragon's Fang!" Her blade ignited in flames, and swung towards her sister

Hiiro leaned back quickly, the burning blade narrowly missing the cloth covering her chest "Oi! Cheap shot!" she yelled, and jumped back, and took a fighting stance

"It isn't my fault you wearing nothing more than a bandage around your chest!" She retorted

In a sense she wasn't wrong. Hiiro was wearing something similar to what her father used to wear quite often when he was a young mage. An sleeveless black waistcoat, and a black open cloth around her legs. Along with white baggy linen pants, and sandals. Hiiro's scarlet hair was choppy as ever as well, but with a decent length in the back. If one were to look on her back left shoulder blade you would find her clan mark.

Meanwhile Haru wore something similar to her mother as a young mage a sleeveless white blouse, with a red ribbon around the neck. Yet instead of a blue skirt, she wore a blue waist cloth around her legs and dark blue jeans. Her pink hair was long, and wavy down to her mid back. Haru had gotten a lot of her looks from her mother except her eyes, they were her fathers. While Hiiro on the other hand had gotten her looks from her father except her eyes, they were her mothers.

Both however got their attitudes to pick a fight from both of their parents. Though most of the time they fought with each other. As was evidence to this little banter in their sparring. You could almost see the sparks of electricity between the two as they bickered with each other.

"Master what are they doing?" a voice asked as they approached Natsu

Natsu turned to face the new voice, who was Mikan. Natsu nodded to her in greeting and responded "They 'were' sparring, but now they are just bickering."

"Again?" Mikan let out a sigh, as a blue bang came down in her face. She had gotten Levy's hair color, but had Gajeel's hair length which suited her. She was currently wearing a yellow tank top covered by a blue closed waist coat. Also wearing some grey capris pants, and some heeled sandals. In her hand she held a book, and in the other she held a bit of iron for her gnaw on as she read. "They've been doing that a lot lately."

Natsu grunted "Yeah well it's a good way for them to vent sometimes. They've been next to each other since birth so it was only a matter of time." He gazed over at Mikan "So tell me how's your father? He just got back right? He didn't check in with anyone."

"He's fine." She nodded with a smile "Just exhausted, dealing with wyverns isn't easy apparently."

"Well of course their descendants of dragons." Natsu chuckled "Twenty of them is quite taxing but that was why it was an S-Class mission." He looked down at her book and smiled "Got another good novel huh? You take after your mother, speaking of which how is she?"

"She's fine too." She grinned and held up her book "This is from her private collection she's letting me borrow it for now."

Natsu rose an eyebrow "Wow her private collection, not even Lucy was allowed to read those. Well you are her child, so I shouldn't be that surprised." He looked back over at his two little girls trading spells once more "They grow up so fast. Is this how you felt Gramps?" Natsu spoke under his breath

Mikan tilted her head to the side, her hair swaying with it "What's wrong Master?"

Natsu shook his head and smiled "It's nothing Mikan, so you excited for tomorrow?"

Mikan's red eyes brightened and she smiled "Yeah, I can't wait for it!"

Natsu nodded in approval and looked over to Haru, and Hiiro "Hey you two that's enough for this morning go get something to eat. Remember though this is last time you're getting free meals here at the Guild. Tomorrow you'll have to buy your own here."

"We know." Haru responded and brushed herself off even though there wasn't anything there

"Now there is only one reason that she would do that." Natsu thought to himself disgruntled, and looked over to find one of newest mages of the guild, Denzo an earth style mage, and for his age was quite built. He was joining with the rest of the new mages tomorrow in the initiation ceremony.

The initiation ceremony was something that Natsu came up with about a half a year he came into his position. Becoming a Fairy Tail mage meant also becoming family, and he wanted the experience to be special for them, and for the current members. The ceremony has been held every six months if there were any new recruits that came in applied. Now it didn't necessarily mean they had to wait to be in the guild, they just couldn't use the job board unless they went with a current Fairy Tail wizard. But back to Denzo, for whatever reason his daughter Haru and Denzo had hit off rather well, maybe too well.

He had choppy black hair, and slightly tanned skin. He was average height for a male, and always wore a smile. His main attire consisted of a worn leather jacket, white t-shirt, and faded blue jeans. For his age he was quite the mage, but there was always room for improvement. Natsu watched as Denzo approached Haru, and then felt a hand rest on his shoulder it was Hiiro.

"Now now Papa" She chided him "You knew it was going to happen."

"Yeah so?" Natsu grumbled to himself "Doesn't mean I have to like it."

Hiiro chuckled, and looked at the stack of papers next to him "Are those bills?"

Natsu tore his eyes from the blossoming romance in front of him "Some are, but no there are some new job requests and some applications to work here at the bar, and our new magic shop in town." He looked up at Hiiro who eyed him carefully "What?! It's not like when I first started Hiiro, I swear it's not all bills."

Hiiro sighed and chuckled "Ok Papa I believe you, besides it's not me you should be worried about, but Erza, and Wendy."

Natsu shivered, He may be a more powerful mage, but he sure as hell didn't like either of those two women pissed off "I agree you with you there. Now go get yourself something to eat. I'll be in shortly."

"Roger!" Hiiro saluted, and ran into the guild hall

Natsu grunted and stood up and stretched. He looked at Mikan who was watching Denzo and Haru "Hey Mikan?"

She looked back up at him "Yes Master?"

"Keep an eye on them for me?" He asked earnestly

"You can count on me!" She nodded, and smiled and walked over to a shade tree and set herself down and began reading her book

Feeling a bit more relieved with Mikan's aid Natsu walked into the guild hall to have it as rambunctious as he had left it this morning. He did his usual routine, and put up the new job requests, and then went to his office. He looked over the bills, and rubbed his forehead achingly. He still hated math with a burning passion, but he had to do what he had to do. He wrote out a few bank slips to the magic council and some townships to pay for damages which weren't nearly as bad as it was when he was a young mage. After that he went through some of the applications, but none of them were available when they needed him. Putting them in a file for later days, he sat back in his chair and smiled.

"Sometimes I wonder how he managed doing all of this." Natsu muttered, and then an image of his smiling kids, and the other members of the guild around them smiling and raising their hands in their symbol "So that's what you saw Gramps. Man that is a good way to keep going isn't it?"

"Who you talking too?" a familiar voice responded

"Gah!" Natsu jerked up in his seat and met the eyes of his wife Erza Scarlet. "Oh it's you." He let out a breath "So how was the mission not to bad I suppose right?"

"No not at all." She said with a smile and walked over to Natsu's side and leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek "We appreciate what you've done Natsu don't think you have to bear everything by yourself."

Natsu smiled and rested his head against her "I know, but anything I can do to make it easier for everyone makes me happy." He chuckled to himself "This gives me a whole lot more gratitude you know?"

Erza giggled "I can only imagine." She pecked him on the lips and stepped away "So are you ready for tomorrow."

"Oh I'm always fired up about that!" Natsu grinned and stood up from his desk "Well I better go see Mira, she wanted to know if I found any good applicants."

"Did you?" Erza asked and walked beside Natsu, as they exited his office

"Sadly no, but I'll let her look at them later. She can maybe work something out." Natsu responded, and pushed open the doors to receive a flying chair in the face

The guild hall went silent as they saw what happened to Natsu. Erza had taken a few steps to the side knowing exactly what was about to happen. As the chair fell down from his face, his head fell forward, and his eyes were covering his bangs. From the other side of the guild there was an audible *gulp* sound. Natsu looked over where the sound came from and saw Elfman.

"I've been meaning to blow off some steam!" Natsu shouted and rushed Elfman sending him flying into another group of people, and like that the guild went into another brawl.

Over at the bar Cana had finished a mug of ale "Well I guess it's a good thing that he can still blow off steam like that and not get in trouble."

"Yeah indeed." Mira giggling while wiping down a glass, and saw Erza walking over "Oh welcome back Erza I didn't see you come in."

"Hello Mira." Erza nodded with a smile "So how are the kids?"

"Oh there off with Laxus on a mission they'll be back tonight. At least he better be." Mira said smile and laugh

"Scary….." Cana thought as she took another drink

"Indeed wouldn't want the kids to miss tomorrow." Erza nodded in approval "They've been looking forward to this moment for quite some time after all."

Several hours later the guild calmed down and everyone went back to drinking and sharing stories with one another. Natsu was sitting up at the bar with his favorite type of drink, and some cherry wood fire. Haru and Hiiro were sitting at their own table chatting about who knows what, and the other kids of the past generation were doing similar things.

"How's it going Natsu." Natsu turned his head and found Grey walking over to him

"It's going." Natsu replied, and gazed over the guild hall "How was it up north with the kids? You just got back a few days ago right?"

"Yeah we got back the other day, and it went rather well. They have the basics down, on the 'Maker' Magic. They can use it on ice and water." Grey smiled "Boiling water and freezing ice man that's a shock." He looked over at Natsu who was gazing over the guild again "You know if you keep doing what you're doing you're going to get wrinkles like Gramps."

Natsu glared at Grey but laughed nonetheless "I can't help it. It feels like only yesterday you knowe what I mean?"

"Yeah I get ya." Grey smiled, and looked over to find Shimo and Aqua sitting down at Haru and Hiiro's table "Looks our kids are getting along, better than we did anyway."

Natsu grinned "They'd make quite the team. Fire, water, ice, and swords that leaves limitless compatibilities."

"I agree." Grey nodded

At that moment there was a shout from the other side of the guild hall "PRICK!" there was a crack of thunder, and then everyone saw Denzo flying across the guild hall

"Oi what was that for?!" Denzo shouted and stood up dusting himself off

"You were looking at me weird." A smug teen walked forward and had arcs of electricity coursing over his body

Natsu let out a sigh "Looks like Jaxus is going to take after his younger father after all."

"Well at least we know they're back right?" Grey chuckled and eyed Natsu "You going to do anything."

Natsu thought for a moment "Maybe let's see how this turns out." Grey rose an eyebrow, but shrugged. He knew Mirajane would step in if anything else were to happen

"I didn't even look at you!" Denzo shouted back "I was looking at the job request board!"

"No I'm sure you were looking at me funny." Jaxus smirked "If that's the only defense you got your brain truly is made up of nothing but rock."

"What was that?" Denzo glared menacingly

"Oh didn't like that come and do something about it!" Jaxus motioned for him to bring it

"You asked for it!" Denzo jumped forward coating his hand in stone, and Jaxus coating his own fist in Lightning

Before they could make contact with one another they were both crushed to the ground by an invisible force, as they pulled themselves up they heard the sound of boots walking over to them "Hey now you two." Natsu's voice heavy, and his eyes glowed red "I don't care if you two brawl but you WILL not do it in this guild hall. What you WILL do is wait till tomorrow. You can settle this little dispute tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?"

"But he sta.." Denzo started to shout

"DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Natsu roared, glaring at them, and they both nodded standing like stiff statues "Good now run along." Natsu smiled "Save it for tomorrow and make it a good show."

They glared at each other and stormed off away from each other, and Laxus walked over "Sorry about that he's like me as a kid, I don't know how I survived in this guild with that attitude."

Natsu waved a hand "They'll grow out of it, besides he's nowhere near as extreme as you were. That I can assure you."

"I'll take your word for it." Laxus smirked and walked off to find Mirajane

Natsu walked back over to Grey and he spoke "You know I had the strangest sense of Déjà vu."

"Glad I'm not the only one." Natsu grinned and picked up his mug and took a drink "Man Gramps wasn't kidding when he said that this job will make you drink a hell of a lot more."

Grey laughed "I could have told you that one. Still though I can't wait for those two to face off tomorrow. My bets on Denzo."

"As much as I hate to admit it, but I agree. Denzo is a promising mage, and that may be what Jaxus needs to get his attitude checked." Natsu grunted

"The only reason you feel any negativity to Denzo is because your daughter likes him, and he likes her." Grey teased "Come on man, Gildarts is the same way."

"Hmph." Natsu crossed his arms, but smiled nonetheless "Have you seen Happy?"

"Yeah he was outback with Carla." Grey pointed to the doors at the back at the hall "It's so weird seeing them human you know?"

Natsu nodded in agreement "Yeah tell me about it, when Happy came to the guild as a human the only reason I recognized him was his scent."

"I bet, and you know the only reason he did that right?" Grey smiled

"Well duh because he wanted to be close to Carla." Natsu grinned "I think he's getting close finally."

"I sure hope so, sometimes I feel sorry for the little guy." Grey put his hands in his pockets, and sighed "Well I'm gonna head home, and get a home cooked meal. Nothing against Mira's cooking but Juvia's food to me is perfect."

"Wish I could say the same." Natsu muttered

"I feel sorry for you man." Grey chuckled patting him on the shoulder "But hey you get some damn good cheesecake out of it."

"That's true." Natsu scratched his chin, and salivated at the thought, and shook his head "Well it doesn't matter, one does not judge by the way someone cooks."

"Keep telling yourself that." Grey chuckled and waved goodbye "I'm out see you tomorrow."

Natsu waved, and walked back over to the bar to find Mira talking with Laxus, and so he sat at the other end as to not interrupt. As he took his seat he gazed again over the guild at the faces of his family. His two daughters laughing, Mikan sitting back in a corner gnawing on a piece of iron while enjoying a book. Shimo and Aqua making small ice figurines, and Lira trying to scold her brother Jaxus. Naxus was sitting by his entertaining himself by arcing electricity around the table. Romeo was sitting next to Wendy playing with fire showing off his manipulating capabilities. While watching Romeo, Wendy was brushing her hair enjoying the warmth of the flames. All these were little things to be seen but seen together made it so much more appreciative.

"Since when was I this sentimental?" Natsu grinned to himself, and took another drink

"Hey Natsu!" Laxus called out "Come on down, and share a drink no need to drink by your lonesome."

Natsu smiled "I'm coming, I'm coming."

The Next Day

Natsu was walking up to the guild hall to get it opened up for the day. It was only six in the morning, and Mirajane was already waiting there ready to start the day. Natsu shook his head in amusement, he never figured out how she does it sometimes.

"You know Mira it wouldn't kill you to come in late sometimes you know?" Natsu smiled as he unlocked the door "I think I can manage the few opening hours myself. It can't be healthy."

"I'll be fine as we get some new staff in here. I would have Lira help, but she's still a bit too young." Mira said with a smile "Besides I love this job so that alone makes this no problem."

"I won't try to convince you otherwise." Natsu shrugged and opened up the doors "Well I have some applications, but I didn't see the times you wanted. Though if you still want to gaze at them you're more than welcome too."

"I'll do that later, we have a lot to do today." Mira said with a smile as she went behind the bar into the kitchen to get started with the preparations.

"You know part of me feels bad about that idea, but we have to make it worth their while you know?" Natsu muttered to himself, and cracked his knuckles "Alright I'm getting fired up let's get this place ready for a celebration!"

2 Hours till Initiation

"Elfman, Grey! Is the stage good to go?" Natsu called out looking at a clipboard

"It's as manly as me!" Elfman shouted back flexing his muscles, and Grey hit him upside the head "Ow what was that for?!"

"It's good to go Natsu." Grey responded completely ignoring Elfman

"Mira? You good on the Tattoos, and food?" Natsu called out

"Foods good and ready to go, and every color is accounted for!" Mira replied with a smile

Natsu nodded, and went around making sure the banners were placed correctly "Well looks like we'll be ready on time for once."

"Oh come now Natsu, it's still new for everyone so of course it's going to take some time for us to get it down." Mira scolded

Natsu just smiled "I know that, I just can't help it."

"I know how you feel Natsu, after all our kids are becoming Fairy Tail mages too you know." Mira smiled at the thought "Though if Jaxus doesn't learn to tone down I may have to do it myself." A purple aura began to emanate from her

"H-hey now Mira contain the demon for now." Natsu stuttered trying to calm down the Demon of Fairy Tail "It's probably just a phase you know after all they are teens, you were no different at one time."

She seemed to calm but then looked at Natsu with a serene smile "Oh? Tell me how was I like that Guild Master?"

Natsu gulped "Ahh crap I totally just slipped….." "Well that's a difficult thing to say it's…. Oh! If you excuse me, Grey's calling for me!" and Natsu slipped away after Grey for safety.

Dragneel Household

"Girls! Come on the Initiation is going to start soon, you don't want to be late on your big day do you?" Erza called upstairs

"We're coming!" The both called down, and footsteps could be heard running across the upper floor.

As they came down they were dressed as they were yesterday. They had purposely washed their clothes the night before so they could have their battle clothes for today. They were dressed for battle, and they could barely contain it. They've been training and working hard for today. These matches meant nothing in terms of status but it was a good way to build teams or just get your name out there. Though the two girls were already well known; The Twin Dragons of Dragneel. When they went on jobs with their father or mother they had let them mostly try to handle it themselves. Though now a days it was mainly there mother that was taking them out on jobs for experience.

Hiiro was super excited today, she would be facing off against Shimo and his Ice Demon Slayer magic. The rivalry between the two was fierce, just about as much as it is between the fathers. Haru would be facing off against Lira who focused on Lightning Magic like her father, but had partial demon transformations much like her mother. These matches were for fun, but there was one match that would be personal, and that was between Denzo and Jaxus. Jaxus had short spikey white hair, and wore a long sleeve purple shirt like his father. Though just like his father in his young age, he had his attitude or superiority. Denzo on the other hand was a respectful mage, and an orphan who had just recently moved to Magnolia. For whatever reason Jaxus hadn't taken a liking to Denzo so the bouts between them were frequent. Though never really ended in a fight like yesterday would have.

As they were walking to the guild hall Erza stroke up a conversation "So what do you girls think of the match between Jaxus and Denzo?"

"Jaxus is just a jerk." Hiiro responded her arms crossed across her chest "I don't know why he picks on Denzo so much. I'm surprised Denzo hasn't decked him before."

"Well Denzo's more cool headed than that." Haru commented "He's not hot headed like you."

"Oi! You're just as bad!" Hiiro butted heads with Haru

"I am not!" Haru growled pushing back, and the two girls kept glaring

"Girls." Erza said quietly and began glowing scarlet "Aren't you supposed to getting along?" Her words dripped with anger

"Oh yeah!" Hiiro wrapped an arm around her sister "We're just goofing around right?"

"Totally!" Haru chimed in wrapping her own arm around her sister "Just having some fun!"

Erza eyed them before calming down "Good. Now let's get going."

The two sisters glared at each other before continuing behind their mother. They couldn't wait for their matches, and they didn't have very long to wait either. Their matches were first up on the roster where as Denzo and Jaxus' match was last. After about a fifteen minute walk they made it Magnolia, and the streets were busy with merchants selling their goods, and people bustling about with their tasks in hand. Though one could tell they were rallied up more than usual. Who would be surprised today is a day they can celebrate and be merry and watch a good show. It was a good show before the Grand Magic games, so it was a good filler for them, and also for other guilds to get a good idea who they would be facing off in the future years.

As they approached the Guild Hall there was a crowd outside the doors "Looks like Papa got done on time." Hiiro giggled

"Come now girls give him some credit, he worked very hard for this." Erza scolded lightly and pushed her daughters ahead "Go on and get up front with the others." The two girls ran ahead and Erza stood there smiling and said under her breath "They grow up so fast, but I couldn't be any prouder."

The girls ran forward through the crowd, and got to the front where the other young mages waited for the day they've waited for. The doors opened forward and Mirajane stepped out holding the guild Tattoo stamp. Right behind her was Lucy, and Wendy holding the same kind of guild Tattoo stamps.

"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming to our Initiation Day!" Mirajane called out with a smile "Now before we begin with the festivities we would like all the young mages that will be joining us today step forward." Haru, Hiiro, and the others stepped forward "From right to left would walk forward and receive your guild Tattoo."

Three at a time the young mages stepped forward. Haru, Hiiro, Shimo, Aqua, Mikan, Naxus, Jaxus, Lirajane, Denzo, and Kaijo. They each went and got their respectful guild marks. Haru got her blue guild Tattoo on her left arm. Hiiro got a red guild Tattoo and on her right arm. Shimo got a dark blue Tatttoo on his right pectoral, and Aqua had a light blue Tattoo on her right outer thigh. Both Naxus, and Jaxus got white guild Tattoo's on their right side of their neck. While Lira got a yellow one on her inner left thigh. Mikan got a black guild Tattoo on her right collar bone. Denzo got a red one on his right arm, and Kaijo got a green one on his left pectoral.

After all that was done the people were allowed into the guild hall to enjoy the food, and the upcoming battles. The audience began to move towards the doors to the battlefield but were held back by Lucy, Wendy, and Mirajane. The young mages stepped forward as well, but were forced to stop in front of the doors. They waited impatiently, they didn't know why they were being forced to wait. Till the doors the slammed open.

There stood Natsu Dragneel, Guild Master of Fairy Tail with his signature grin "Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Haru and Hiiro were trying to somewhat cover their faces in embarrassment "I know this is a day you have been waiting for some time, so I promise not to keep you much longer. I just wanted to give you a few words before you begin."

Natsu took a deep breath and smiled "A guild is a family. They are your comrades, friends, and family. We look after each other, fight with each other, and occasionally with each other." Natsu chuckled "A guild is also a place to further your knowledge of magic. The council may seem intimidating but don't let those fools scare you! If you place rules on magic it will never grow. You have to let it take over your being, let it flow through you and every fiber of your being!" He eyed all the young mages on final time "This is what makes our guild different because we believe in these morals, and so what does that make Fairy Tail?!"

Everyone raised their hands in Fairy Tail's signature "Number one!"

"That's right!" Natsu raised his own hand "Now Fairy Tail Mages show me what you're made of!" He gestured his hands to the battlefield "Make it a good show."

Hehehehe I know I'm bad, but hey I have to keep you guys wanting to ready right? The Twin Dragons of Dragneel is well underway. So leave a review on what you think I'll be sure to get TTDD up as soon as I can. After all I'm having loads of fun with this myself. Alright till next time everyone!
