Natsu was in his room waiting for his friends to come by. His room was still as messy as ever, he hasn't cleaned it up ever, it was probably in worse shape then when Lucy came over. There were piles of trash, clothes and broken furniture. It was 10:00PM They should be around soon. While he waited he stared out the window towards the forest. From his window you could only see the outline of the trees, it was too dark to see, he looked up at the sky, the once blue sky tainted with darkness, no sun no moon. He could barley even remember how the sun lit up the world, how the moon lit up the dark sky. The stars that twinkled at night. Its seemed forever yet its been 7 years. And it was 7 years ago that Igneel disappeared. In those years he met his friends. His best friends Erza and Gray are here with him now, which made him happy, he hasn't seen them in a while. Erza left when they were alomst 13 she was 15, then soon after Gray left to find his family. He wondered if he found them yet.
Natsu laid down on what was left of his bed, which was half, but it was still a bed, he faced the table that sat next to it. A small red book sat there. He picked it up and opened it to the first page. It was a photo album, pictures of his family and friends. Only the last couple of pages where blank. He stared at it for a few minutes and dropped it back onto the table. A knock on the door made him get up, he walked slowly over, to slowly, the door slammed open, breaking off its hinges and flew past Natsu, who stared in disbelief. Erza and the others walked in including Lucy. Erza stormed up to Natsu.
" What?" Natsu asked starting to cringe back as he saw her glare.
" We thought something happened, maybe you should hurry and get to the door. You already know the problem at hand. There was a high chance he got to you."
" I still don't understand why he wants me."
Erza started walking, she past a desk, the desk was also broken, she stepped on something and a wooden pole slammed into her face. She stumbled and turned to face Natsu.
" Why do you have a rake in your room?" Erza growled.
Natsu shrugged, " Hey, it was already there when I first came."
" You should clean up once in a while." Gray said smirking.
Natsu grunted then turned to Lucy, " So what happened with Hades?"
" Thats what we'll get to, but first you two explain what happened when you met the dragon." Erza said taking a seat on a chair which she thanked to God that it was broken. Everyone except Natsu and Gray sat on the floor, Gray sat on the bed. Natsu stood.
" Nothing really, we walked through the forest, We found two dragons fighting each other, spitting fire, clawing, A maroon dragon and a green one. The green one saw us then attacked us-" Natsu said.
" Then Natsu beat it up-"
" With my Fire Dragon Iron Fist-"
" Oh I remember that move, nice one Natsu." Gray commented.
" Yeah," Natsu continued," Well, it flew away, the maroon one greeted us and told us to call it Honoo. It said that the green one was one of Hades creations. Hades created artificial dragons which he used to fight in the war that happened 7 years ago, the whole purpose was to become king, well thats what Honoo said. Hades didn't like how everyone disobeyed him so now he's looking for more power."
" So now he wants dragon blood." Erza finished.
" Wait what? Why does he need dragon blood?" Gray asked. Mira and Loke looked a little shocked by what they heard.
" Apparently one with royal dragon blood has the right to rule over dragons. The only way to do that is to consume royal dragon blood, he needs the king, or prince dragon. He would need to drink it, once he has complete power over them, he will use them as slaves to make sure no one ever disobeys' him. Its crazy yes, he isn't the true king of Magnolia or Dragons, he's a murderer. Killed Kind Jude, Lucy's father." Erza gestured to Lucy.
Lucy waved.
" So your the princess?" Loke said getting up and grabbing her hand, " Your very pretty, if you have time maybe we could-"
Erza slapped the back of his head, Loke sat back down.
" Ignore him, he's an idiot."
" I am not, I'm smarter than Natsu." Loke argued, " And maybe Gray."
" What?" Gray and Natsu glared at Loke but seeing the glare of Erza they went silent.
" So who exactly is he after? The king dragon or prince?" Mira asked.
" We don't know, which is why we need to find them both." Erza turned to Lucy and Natsu," Did Hanoo tell you anything about them?"
Natsu shook his head, " He never answered the question."
Lucy nodded in agreement, " I asked him , and Natsu asked about his father, all he answered was Natsu."
" Can you tell us what he said to answer him?"
" Well I asked' It isn't just the king he wants, if he can't get the king he will get the prince. Who are they?' Then Natsu asked ' And Igneel where is he?' -
" You remember word for word?" Loke asked amazed.
" I'm smarter than you think."
" So if I think your smarter than what I think then your way smarter then I think I think?"
Lucy ignored him and went on, " Hanoo said, ' Your father,' and he looked at Natsu and said ' You will find him soon don't worry.' Then he left saying that the king will get mad."
Erza nodded, " I'm not 100% sure but I think I may have an idea based on what you said. So Hanoo paused after he said 'Your father' and went on after?"
Lucy nodded.
" Well then, we'll just have to assume its you." She said pointing to Natsu.
" The hell? Why me? I already said it can't be, Igneel never told me."
" Maybe he forgot." Loke suggested.
" That would explain why your so stupid, your dad is too." Gray laughed.
" He is not! And neither am I!" Natsu said cracking his knuckles waiting for the fight to happen.
" How can he forget to say something so important?"
" Because I'm telling you there's no way in hell I'm a prince. Do I look like a prince to you?"
" No actually you don't, but how would I know how a dragon prince looks?" Loke said.
" Whats wrong with being a prince? Lucy's a princess, I don't hear her complaining." Gray said.
" I'm not complaining I'm just saying, I can't be a prince, if Igneel really was king wouldn't he be around dragons a lot? I didn't hang around a lot of dragons. I stayed home with Wendy..." Natsu shot up.
" Wendy?"
" My sister, Say I am prince, then that would mean Wendy's a princess! What if he goes after her?" Natsu panicked, " I don't even know where she is!"
" Hades wouldn't go after her, the book said King or prince, it never said anything about queen or princess. It must mean the royal blood is only strong in the male dragon. So calm down she's safe. As long as Hades doesn't know of her existence he wouldn't get to her and use her against you."
Natsu calmed down.
" Now on to Lucy, what did Hades want?"
" Nothing really, just a little 'family' dinner." She sighed, "And he went on about his plans, nothing new. It's like he wants us to know. Oh, he did say he knows, he knows now. But I don't know what he's talking about."
Everyone was silent, until Mira broke the silence.
" We should plan who'll watch Hades and who'll go look for any info since their is more of us."
" Good plan, I think Mira, Loke and I will do for watching Hades."
" Aww, I wanted to stay with Lucy." Loke complained, " Never mind." He added when he saw Erza's face.
" Gray and you two will find the information we need. Got it? Now lets see... our group will find a way to watch Hades without him knowing, your job is easier just don't let anyone no matter who it is know where your going."
They nodded.
" Good, We'll call it a night." Erza walked out followed by Loke and Mira.
" We'll it seem's we're partners." Gray said.
" Yeah, we should do a contest, see who finds out more."
The grinned at each other, " Cool, see you guys tomorrow then. We can start looking around the Castle. I know the perfect place."
" Okay."
Natsu turned to Lucy, " Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
" Yeah, bye."
He watched as she left. He sighed and laid down on the bed.
" Igneel why didn't you tell me?"
I think I may be busy this week, not sure, gotta test Friday, biology stuff, man I hate history. Anyway thought I'd update now while I got the chance. Tell me How I did.
Review :)
