Chapter 7
"WE'RE BACK!" Igneel with Metalicana behind him started walking towards the bar. Some of the present members greeted them with either 'hello' or 'hi'.
The guild didn't pay too much attention to them until they realized they were carrying two bags. To be more specific, they were dragging the bags across the guild hall. Both Igneel and Metalicana went up to the bar counter. Mira went towards them with her usual sweet smile and ignoring the bags.
"Good morning guys. Is there anything you would like to eat?" Igneel asked for a ten pound beef covered in flames while Metalicana asked if they had any metal. Exactly like Natsu and Gajeel's wind of breakfast.
'Like father like son.' She thought with a giggle.
"Say I'm curious, where are Natsu and Gajeel? Wouldn't they be with you two?" She asked while coming back with metal scrap and flaming beef.
"They would be and they are with us." Metalicana said as Mira handed them their food. That caught some attention from some nearby guild mates. Mira tilted her head in confusion.
"Really? Where are they then?" Igneel pointed to the two bags that were on the floor. Mira didn't quite get it until a horrible thought crossed her mind and began to tense up. Apparently so were the other members, they began to sweat bullets from what they were thinking of what the dragons did to their sons.
Igneel felt the tension and laughed with Metalicana joining him. Mira couldn't believe that they were acting like this right now and demanded why they killed their kids. That is…she would of if Igneel didn't beat her to it,
"Don't worry, they're not dead." Igneel went to his bag and opened it up to only find a pale Natsu with blank eyes, but you can tell that he was still breathing.
"We were only doing some morning training. I guess Natsu couldn't handle that type of training." Igneel said it as if it was normal. The guild members began to pale thinking of the type of 'training' Natsu went through. Mira gulped,
"S-so Gajeel is in the other bag?" Metalicana nodded before getting the bag, grabbed Gajeel, with the same conditions as Natsu, and threw the poor dragon slayer behind him as if he trash. Everyone flinched when they saw him crashing into the wall.
"Same thing happened to him. Couldn't handle the training." Metalicana said without a care in the world.
'What kind of training did they do?!'Everyone thought with fear.
"There you are you bastard!" Everyone turned to find a bandaged, mummy-like Laxus leaving the infirmary with the Thunder Tribe behind him. Laxus glared at Igneel with fire in his eyes,
"You. Me. Rematch. NOW!" Without saying another word, Laxus sprinted towards Igneel with a lightning covered fist. Igneel threw a hammer fist and slammed Laxus three into the ground. Instant K.O. Igneel had a bored expression and said,
"Not now Laxus. I'm having breakfast. Go play with your little fan club or something." Igneel watched Freed drag Laxus back into the infirmary and mumbling something along the lines of 'my Laxus-sama'.
"Well that was disappointing." Metalicana sighed. Igneel simply nodded while Mira was trying to get the dragon slayer to wake up.
"What did you do to them?!" Mira yelled out after giving up on waking them up.
"It wasn't that bad." Metalicana said before stuffing a handful of nails into his mouth.
"He's right." Igneel agreed, "It happened like this…"
(Flashback)
"Again!"
"Iron Dragon's Roar!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Both dragon slayers' roar connected to a standstill for a minute until it exploded and destroyed everything in its range. Igneel and Metalicana –who are now back as dragons- shook their heads in disappointment. Metalicana bellowed,
"It's not strong enough! Put more power into it!"
"Oh come on you old dragon you got to be kidding me!" Gajeel yelled, "We've been doing this for five hours already!"
"I'm not old you punk! Learn some respect!"
"Like hell I should! It's bad enough to wake me up THREE fuckin' hours before dawn, but I also have to be training with Salamander!"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?!"
"It means you're an idiot and I hate your guts! Besides I'm the stronger one so I don't need this training."
"Stronger my ass! I'm the stronger you, BASTARD!" Natsu tackled Gajeel into the ground and began pummeling each other. Igneel couldn't take these two anymore and roared:
"ENOUGH!"
The entire forest shook from the thunderous roar and made every creature within the hearing range freeze. Natsu and Gajeel were no exceptions. They stopped their fighting immediately and slowly turned their heads towards their angry fathers. Metalicana growled,
"Igneel, I don't think they can work together."
"I agree. How about we teach them the way our fathers taught us?"
"You mean 'THAT'?" The only response was an evil grin that made the dragon slayers sweat bullets.
"W-what are guys t-talking about?" Natsu stuttered.
"Don't worry… you'll know." Next thing Gajeel saw was Igneel grabbing Natsu and SWALLOWING him.
"What the hell?!" Gajeel shrieked.
"Don't worry Gajeel, Igneel didn't swallow Natsu. He is only keeping him inside his jaws. It's a type of training to see if you can keep yourself from being eaten."
"What kind of fucked up training is that?!"
"The same kind that you will do right now!" Metalicana then scooped his own son. Metalicana turned to Igneel.
"How long do you think it will take them to escape our jaws?"
"Not too long. Next training will be destroying mountains and then see how much pain they can take." Both dragons smiled of the hellish training they'll be putting their kids through.
"Any to torments you have in mind?"
"You'll find out…"
(Flashback end)
"After that we did the rest of the training that they could finish before collapsing at the point of death. Like I said before, it wasn't that bad."
The guild was scared shitless after hearing that. They didn't even know what to think after hearing their story.
Before anyone could reply about their 'training', the doors to the guild opened up. The two dragons turned to see three people coming in. One being a man while the other two were females. The man had short onyx hair and had a brown poncho. One of the females had long green hair with a red cowboy hat in some bikini top with a mini skirt and a small red vest that's open. The second one was a little girl with black hair styled in a pony tail wearing a cowgirl outfit. She seemed to be around four or five. The man yelled,
"We're back!" Looking for anything to break the harsh tension, the guild cheered for them.
"Welcome back guys! So Alzack how was the mission?" Mira asked.
"It was okay, the client was nice but-"
"Daddy who's that man over there?" Alzack looked at his daughter confused until she pointed towards Igneel. Igneel turned over to see the little girl walking towards him.
"Hi! My name is Asuka. What's yours?"
Igneel grinned at Asuka. "My name is Igneel."
"Igneel? I know another Igneel! He's Uncle Natsu's dragon! Do you know him?" Igneel chuckled,
"I am Natsu's dragon. Do you want to see me become a dragon?" Asuka eagerly nodded. Erza stop him before he could transform.
"Hold it! If you're going to be a dragon again then go outside! Last time you destroyed the roof of the guild when you transformed."
"Really I did? In that case, let's go little Asuka!" He put Asuka on his shoulders and ran outside of the guild. Bisca walked up to Erza.
"Was that really Igneel?"
"Yeah, he is. A lot of things happened while you guys were doing your mission."
"I can tell. So what exactly happened from the past few days?"
"Let's see…"
~Line Break~
Bisca couldn't help but stare at Erza in shock of everything she heard. Never in her life would she imagine dragons joining Fairy Tail. Not long after, Igneel and Asuka came back in with Asuka still on his shoulders and playing with Igneel's long crimson hair. They were both laughing and smiling. They went towards Bisca and Erza and Igneel handed Asuka back to Bisca. Asuka looked at Igneel.
"Can't fly later Grampa Ig?" Igneel couldn't help but grin at hearing that. "Of course we can fly later, in fact, if you ever need anything from me or just hang out, I'll be there." Asuka and Bisca went to their usual spot with Alzack and did their usual thing. Erza turned to Igneel and raised an eyebrow.
"When did she start calling you 'Grandpa Ig?'"
"When I told her that Natsu is my son, she instantly called me grandpa. It makes sense when you consider that she calls Natsu 'uncle'. I actually like being called grandpa, although I have to wait for my bastard son to make some kids. Which reminds me," He slowly walks over to Natsu and gently carried him toward an empty table and set him down. He gently nudged Natsu's shoulders to wake him up. "Natsu, it's time to wake up." Igneel kept repeating the same in a calm and soothing way. Erza and Mira were watching the whole thing and were impressed of how caring, gentle a dragon could actually be. After the fifth time trying, Igneel sighed,
"Oh well," He grabbed Natsu and roared into Natsu's ear. "WAKE UP DAMN IT!"
"Aaaahhhh! Don't kill me!" Natsu was sweating bullets at this point. Erza and Mira sweat dropped. So much for being gentle…
"When are you gonna get me some grandchildren dragon slayers?!"
"When I can old man!"
"Who you callin' old you pink haired bastard!"
"It's SALMON damn it!" After that final comment they got into a fistfight. It grew as Natsu pulled Elfman and Gray into it while Igneel pulled Metalicana. The fighting eventually grew into an all out brawl and it started to become chaotic. Lucy, Levy, Happy and Asuka hid behind the bar counter to hide from the fighting. The fight was going strong for a good hour or so until everyone heard someone speak.
"What's going on here?" Though it was barely heard, everyone stopped their fighting and looked at the source of the voice. They saw Grandine standing there smirking at the scene before her. "Honestly Igneel, whenever I leave to go somewhere you would pick a fight."
Before Igneel could retort, a woman came from behind Grandine. All the guys' jaws dropped from seeing her. She was young, maybe around eighteen or nineteen. She had a small black skirt that showed off her tone legs. She had on an emerald green tank top that showed off her impressive cleavage. She had on pink lip gloss and small earrings that glitter whenever she moves. Her dark azure hair was flowing freely and at the end of her hair had…pink hair dye? It was pretty much basic attire but it was enough to gain the attention of every man in the guild. It especially gained the dragons and their sons' attention.
Their eyes widen in surprise when they caught her scent. It couldn't be possible. Igneel stuttered.
"N-no…"
"Fucking…" Metalicana continued.
"Way…" Gajeel finished. Natsu walked up to the Grandine and the young woman. He sniffed at her for a second and gasped.
"Is that you Wendy? What the hell happened?"
"WENDY!" The guild didn't know if they heard him right. Wendy? Their Wendy? No, it couldn't be. Their Wendy was twelve, though this woman did look like Wendy's Edo-self. Strangely enough, she nodded.
"I-it's a long story Natsu-san."
"Grandine," said dragon turned to find Igneel baring his enlarged canines at her and growled, "What did you do to Wendy?" Grandine sighed.
"It's kind of hard to explain."
"Then try to explain."
"Fine, it began yesterday when Wendy and I were at the forest…"
(Flashback)
Grandine and Wendy were having a stroll through the forest near river and enjoying the scenery. Grandine brought Wendy to the forest so they could talk in private. The reason why was that it was important and urgent.
"Wendy, there's something that I have been meaning to tell you." Wendy tilted her head to the left.
"What is it?"
"Well it's just… uh… I altered your… y-your age." Grandine stated mumbling the last part. Wendy eyes widened.
"You what?"
"I didn't do anything to change your age, I only had you to age slower."
At this point Grandine turned away to avoid Wendy's eyes. To be honest, she has no idea how Wendy would react but she was ready for the worst. Instead of hearing any yelling or feeling any hits, she only felt her shoulder being tapped. She turned to Wendy.
"Why did you do it? I know you wouldn't do it without a reason right?" Grandine nodded.
"I did have a few reasons but it's not really a good reason." Wendy didn't like where this is going.
"The reason was because of your age. Young dragon slayers usually are the ones that adapt the best when it comes to learning and training for new techniques. So I did an aging spell on you so you continue doing great progress and mastering your magic sooner." Wendy was shocked. It sounded crazy at first but it eventually made sense. It did explain why she was as strong as the other while she was still so young.
"The other reason was because you were so cute and adorable that I didn't want to grow up so soon!" Grandine finished swooning over the memories of a tiny Wendy. Wendy fell down after hearing that.
"Really Grandine?! Unbelievable!" Wendy was seething right now but calmed down to ask her something "Is there a way for you to undo the spell?"
"Oh don't worry about the spell. It wore off years ago. About the time you joined Cait Shelter." Wendy felt relieved after hearing that. "But I can help regain the years you lost when you were a young child." Wendy's eyes widened.
"Really?!"
"Yes, if I do it, then you could be around seventeen or eighteen." Wendy thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
(Flashback Ended)
"Not long after that, I did a few spells and helped her gain a few years and we walked back here." Everyone was still staring at Wendy and still taking in the news until Metalicana spoke.
"Where did she get those clothes." Grandine started to scratch the back of her head sheepishly. "When I did the spells she outgrew her old clothing and couldn't wear them anymore. I had to go to some clothing stores and quickly bought some outfits and lingerie for her. Luckily she's my size." All the guys got nosebleeds after hearing lingerie, especially the master and Gildarts.
"Grandine don't say that!"
"What? You needed some underwear and I don't think men would go for girls that still have underwear with animals on them."
"Grandine!" At this point Wendy's face was as red as Erza's hair.
"Okay I understand the whole new clothes and underwear lingerie thing but why does she have pink highlights?" Metalicana asked not really affected with the whole lingerie thing.
"That, my old friend, is so she could get someone's attention." After Grandine finished, half the guys instantly jumped toward Wendy trying to get her attention and asking her out. It was beginning to be overwhelming for the dragon slayer; then Natsu began kicking everyone away.
"Stop harassing Wendy you bastards!" He glared at the perverts and had them go back to their seats. "Thanks Natsu-san." Natsu turned to her and gave off his signature grin.
"No problem." Wendy looked down and coughed into her hand.
"Um Natsu-san, could I …um, talk to you for a minute."
"Sure. What is it?" She shook her head.
"No, I mean talk to you alone." Natsu being Natsu, he didn't really think too hard about the comment and just shrugged it off.
"Okay then." They both walked out of the guild and into the streets. Igneel grabbed Grandine and carried her toward the infirmary. The guild heard some yelling and banging and then saw Igneel kicking Laxus and his little fan club out of there and closed the door behind him. Laxus grumbled and sat down at corner with several pints of beer.
"I really hate that fire dragon." Laxus said before chugging down half his mug. Metalicana came up to him and slug his arm around his shoulder. "Come on now, don't feel so bad about it. He's Igneel, the King of the Fire Dragons. He's powerful for anyone. I bet you can defeat dragons with the power you have." Laxus looked at him. "You really think so?" Metalicana nodded before kicking Laxus across the guild hall and grabbed the rest of Laxus' beer.
"FUCK NO! For the past thirty hours you been slammed, burn, hit and kicked into unconsciousness every single time! If you really want to take on some dragons, go after the baby dragons. They always like new chew toys." He chugged all of the beer in less than five seconds. Laxus stood up with lightning dancing around his body.
"You asshole…" He said in a low growl. He instantly got in front of Metalicana and slammed his forehead against the other's forehead. "How about we take care of this here and now? Then I'll show you who can't beat who." Metalicana chuckled.
"Go ahead, let's see if you can fight the powerful Metalicana." His skin was being coated in iron scales.
Before Laxus could strike the doors opened up to see Natsu and Wendy coming in with their heavy blushes on their faces. Laxus stopped and stared at the blue haired beauty.
"Who is that?" He asked to no one specifically. Mira giggled.
"That's Wendy."
"Wendy?!"
Natsu went up to Mira with his blush still there. "Mira? Do you know where Lisanna is? I need to talk to her."
"She's over at our house. Why do you ask?" Instead of answering, Natsu sprinted out of the guild with a trail of dust behind him. Mira had a dark aura around. "He ignored me huh? Well, wait until I get my hands on him." Despite the killer aura around her, she still had her sweet smile. Shivers went down the backs of the members around her. Sometimes they forget that Mira is Fairy Tail's 'Demon'. Without warning, Metalicana gave Laxus a vicious axe kick to the head and buried his body into the ground. Only his head was sticking out. "Be sure you're not distracted at all times. Your opponents could do a sneak attack if you're not careful." He then left the guild leaving the Thunder Tribe trying to pry their leader out of the ground.
