Hey guys so this intro thing is gonna be a bit more serious than the usual dialogue I put up mostly to answer some questions.

First Question im going to address

Where is the GraLu?

DO NOT WORRY its on its way im trying to allow characters develop before I introduce new ones Lucy Heartfelia should be here in around two to three chapters.

NaMi?

youll find out

Why make Grey a Evo?

Well as the story explains his mother designed the Evo technology so wouldn't it make sense that she implanted her son with the basic prototype to allow for some safety measures it doesn't really matter how much of a genius you are if you have a child you still would sacrifice everything for them.

Ok with that out of the way enjoy the rest of the chapter ill be honest I was kinda stumped on how to go through with this one so I winged it! xD have a good one-Ira

"Mommy will you teach me to drive some day!" the excited little Natsu said looking at his mothers smiling face in the review mirror.

"Of course Natsu dear" she said returning her gaze to the road. Mari Dragneel was Natsu's beloved mother. She had always been there when he needed a shoulder to cry on when dad would get angry she would calm him and make him normal again. Daddy would get mad a lot lately with the new weapon they designed apparently Natsu had it in him which confused him a ton so he didn't think about it to avoid head aches.

"Natsu my dear would you reach for my purse theres a checkpoint ahead" Natsu's mother said seeing flashing lights and barricades.

seeing as how the order came from his mother Natsu instantly complied reaching down to grab her purse.

"NATSU GET DOWN!" his mother suddenly screamed panicked. wondering why Natsu quickly looked up and through the window seeing a black sedan hurtling at them before it slammed into the side sending the car toppling over the side of the overpass. Tumbling around in the car feeling as though his stomach would come out of his mouth Natsu curled into a tight ball before slamming out of his seatbelt and onto the concrete of the ground.

Natsu uncurled from his ball mostly unharmed looking around noticeing that the car he was in was sliding upside down along the highway then watched in horror as the car who had hit them slammed onto the top of it flattening the car causing it to explode with his mother inside.

Natsu sat there watching his eyes wide and in shock.

"Mommy?" he whispered waiting for the impregnable force that was his mother to emerge from the flames.

"MOMMY?!" Natsu cried tears streaming down his face knowing now that his mother was not coming out.

"MMMMMOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he screamed fire pouring out from him heating the ground to the point of melting the tarmac back into a liquid state before releasing the energy above him obliterating the overpass and everyone on it.

"Mom..." Natsu sobbed and kneeled down crying.

He didn't know how long he was there he didn't even register the sirens and the sound of his father calling his name, he didn't feel the familiar strong embrace of his fathers arms around him or the tears dropping on his head.

The only thing he knew was his mom was gone.

and she wasn't coming back.

Time Skip 6 years

"Natsuuuuuu" a sweet voice whispered in his ear causing Natsu to awaken grumpily.

"5 more minutes Mira" he mumbled into her lap. He felt her run her hands through his hair making him relax easily sighing at the feeling before sitting up stopping the shove that was bound to send him over onto the concrete of the sidewalk.

"Geez Natsu I never knew you where such a sleeping addict" the silver haired beauty said giggling while smiling mischeviously at Natsu making him blush lightly.

"Shut up Mira, besides we've been dating for two years how could you NOT know that" he countered feigning hurt.

Mira leaned forward before pecking him on the lips lightly then jumping up and holding out a hand.

"Come on lazy bones we'll be late for the movie if we wait any longer"

"Aye sir" Natsu grumbled but grabbed her hand and walked hand in hand with the girl he was madly in love with for a few minutes.

Natsu had met Mira one day while he was out fighting some goons. Yeah you heard Natsu had taken to walking around at night trying to do the 'vigilante' thing for a while. Mira had been in a ally when a weird dude with spikey green hair and a unibrow had walked up to her and stole her purse. Of course the famous 'vigilante' Salamander couldn't let that go and charged after him stopping him dead in his tracks and returning the purse to a grateful Mira.

After that Natsu had decided to give up on being Salamander but kept it as his name do hide his identity to the untrusted employees at his fathers company. Natsu's father also had his own 'Code Name' he used with the grunts of the orginization mostly to avoid opposing groups attacking his family.

Natsu and Mira walked hand in hand down the street talking idly about the movie they where gonna see what home life was like other stuff. Natsu paused for a second a gut feeling telling him that he should pause.

He didn't notice the red dot till it was to late

There was a loud gunshot and Natsu closed his eyes bracing himself for the pain of a bullet piercing his heart and ripping through his back. The only thing he could hope for was that Mira would move from behind him to avoid being collateral damage.

The pain never came.

Natsu opened his eyes and watched his world fall apart in front of him.

Mira was facing him smiling gently the life leaving her blue eyes and the blood of the impact seeping through her shirt.

"No" Natsu whispered catching Mira as she stumbled already dead the bullet tearing through her heart.

"NO MIRA?!" Natsu cried feeling grief well up inside tears flowing before freezing instantly.

Natsu looked up his eyes glowing red from rage to the roof the shot had come from. Standing on it was a black haired man frowning re-adjusting his rifle to fire again this time making sure that he hit his target.

Natsu felt fury build up fire course through him and jetisoned the immense amount of flames out of his feet rocketing him forward heating his fist hot enough to melt steel. As he neared the man who now panicking fired again only to have the bullet turn in the liquid impacting on Natsu's skin. Natsu's fist connected with the mans face making him scream in pain at his jaw being broken and half of his face melting.

"You worthless sack of..." Natsu trailed off anger making his voice fail him.

He slowly strode forward till he was towering over the man who was writhing in agony holding his face and reached down with one hand wrapping it around his face before lifting him in the air.

"Burn and Repent" Natsu hissed heating his hand ignoring the mans screams melting off his skin them the muscle before finally turning his skull to ash. Natsu slumped onto the ground tears now flowing as the anger subsided.

Mira was gone

His eyes lit up with fury and he stood.

He knew exactly what was going to happen.

Natsu reached into the mans pocket pulling out a badge with the symbol of a wolfs head snarling with two scimitars crossing over its back the words "Wolf Brothers" inscribed in it.

Natsu grinned madly speaking lowly

"Burn in hells fire and Repent upon your sins"

Time Skip one year

"RUN!" a man clad in a black tactical vest screamed before being impaled from behind with a flaming spike.

"You cannot run from the devil" the pink haired demon whispered loud enough for the others left in the final room of the building to hear

"W-w-what are you!" a man screamed watching his friends die

"I am the reaper,the fire, the devil" Natsu said his eyes glowing a terrible grin lighting up his face "I am Salamander" he finished shoving his silver infused spike through the mans skull making him crumple instantly dead.

Natsu turned his head to look down the now apparent throne room. At the end a man stood a long sword in his hands fear pulsing in his eyes his hair was blonde and spiked he wore a simple studded vest with a brown cloak thrown over his right shoulder with the symbol of the assasin Natsu killed so long ago.

Finally he could end it.

Natsu slowly strode forward not speaking a word twirling his two spikes between his fingers bangs shadowing his eyes his grin still plastered on his face.

"Hey who are you! why did you kill everyone what did we ever do to you!" the man called holding his sword before him shakily.

Natsu stopped moving.

WHAT DID THEY DO TO ME!

"You dont know do you" he whispered the grin gone.

"Know what?" the man asked desperate to try and reason with the mad man

Natsu began to laugh madly holding his sides tears falling from his eyes. The thing the man didnt know was the tears where ones of fury and grief.

"You killed her, you took my life from me, so its only fair i take yours" Natsu said suddenly stopped laughing glaring at the man with glowing eyes his body turning orange from the heat cracking the stone around him before throwing a now slightly molten spike at the mans face peircing him through the eye. Natsu watched him fall to his knees before toppling over on the ground.

It was over

Natsu dropped to his knees the blood covering the floor soaking into his cargo pants.

She was avenged.

But all Natsu felt was emptiness

Then Natsu cried.

And never stopped

End Flashback


Erza stared at Natsu with wide eyes. She didn't believe what she had just heard. If her math was right he was sixteen the year he went out and...and... enacted justice! He was so young but he killed so many!

"Natsu.." she whispered looking at his face

Natsu's face was held in his hands tears dropping from between his fingers his head low the moonlight playing across his face.

"And now Erza their back" he whispered quietly "their back and this time they wont stop until I'm dead i dont know who and I dont know why but you just talking with me makes you a target I've already gotten grey mixed up in this mess and i cant let you be in it too" he continued leaning back his eyes scrunched closed face turned to the sky.

Erza sat quietly absorbing all she had just heard. There was only one thing she could think to do.

Erza leaned over and pulled Natsu into a hug his eyes widening to the size of plates but returning it feeling her warmth seep through his black t-shirt.

"Erza?" he whispered the unspoken question.

"Natsu Dragneel you are the kindest, most noble person I've ever met. If theres one thing I have learned from listening to your story its that you have lived a very hard very long life and despite it all you have managed to climb back up. Sure you still know what you did was horrendous and you cant ever make up for it but there are two things i want to say" Erza said calmly leaning back and placing her forhead on his and closing her eyes "One, the things you did where... horrifying and you need to live so that you can always repent for what you did" she continued feeling him tense up at her words she could almost feel the pain rolling off of him in waves "Two, Mira's death WAS NOT your fault Natsu, She stepped in front of you because she loved you more than her own life" she whispered "So never feel as though it was your fault" she whispered quietly.

They sat like that for a while before falling asleep.

The only thing Natsu thought before he was pulled into slumber was how beautiful Erza looked in the moonlight.
