Chapter 10

As Natsu and the others left the island, they could see, Celeste, Snow, Frium, and Grim waving at them. They stood at the waters edge. Then Celeste yelled something.

"Thank you so much… Natsu! I won't forget you!" Celeste had yelled.

Natsu swallowed hard and waved back yelling, "Me either!"

Then Natsu collapsed back on the boat.

Ahhh… back to Fairy Tail. I wonder if everyone missed us. Natsu thought.

The boat churned and soon, Natsu passed out. His dreams were peaceful and not at all like the ones he had before. It was full of calmness, happiness, and everything good. He inhaled deeply and sighed happily. After sleeping for a while, Natsu was awakened by a BAM!

"SEA MONSTER AHEAD!" One of the sailors yelled.

Finally… some action around here. Natsu thought.

Natsu got up unsteadily and said," Don't sweat it guys. I'll take care of this one."

He walked up to the head of the ship. A huge sea dragon was snarling and shooting streams of water at the ship. It turned to face him.

"You've got guts to show your face in front of me." Natsu smiled.

Natsu's fist was engulfed in flames. The Sea Dragon seemed to stare at him in disbelief. Then it shot out a gush of water. Faster than possible, Natsu used a spell.

"Karyū Hōkō!" Natsu screamed.

Flames burst from his mouth and in an instant the water had evaporated. Natsu grinned. He jumped up, and into the air. The Sea Dragon shot out gush after gushes of water but as soon as they even got near Natsu, they evaporated. Natsu made his move.

"Karyū no Kagitsume!" Natsu yelled.

His feet were engulfed in flames. It propelled him forward toward the huge beast. He kicked it from the side, and it flew backwards. He could hear the whispers of the sailors on the ship.

"Holy… Who is this kid?"

"He kicked it but sent it flying…"

"This kid is a wizard? Even then, wizard's physical strength isn't very good. They are based on magic."

Natsu rolled his eyes. Then focused on the sea dragon. He could see the shadow of it in the water. It jumped out and Natsu got ready.

"Karyū no Tekken!" Natsu yelled.

His flames burst brighter, and grew intensely hot and strong. His fist was engulfed in flames. He charged forward, and in one blow from his fist, the sea dragon fell backward and swam into the deepest parts of the ocean.

It's over. Natsu thought.

Natsu turned and propelled himself to the ship. He let the flames fade, as he got closer to the ship and did a graceful twist to land on the ship in front of Erza, Gray, Happy, and Lucy.

"Natsu… SLOPPY! LOOK HOW LONG THAT TOOK YOU! YOU SOILED FAIRY TAIL'S GOOD NAME!" Gray yelled at Natsu.

"Says the person who isn't wearing clothes!" Natsu yelled back.

Gray smiled and said, " This time… I'm wearing PANTS! HAHAHAHAHA! I BEAT YOU NATSU!"

Natsu rolled his eyes. Natsu flicked a small ember toward Gray, and instantly, his pants were burned off. All that was left was his boxers, slightly charred.

"NATSU! MY PANTS! I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE EXTRAS!" Gray yelled.

Gray tackled Natsu and they went to the ground. They dodged each other's blows and then Erza stood behind them.

"Might I remind you that we are in PUBLIC!" Erza yelled.

"GRAY! THE ONLY ONES SOILING THE GOOD NAME OF FAIRY TAIL ARE THE TWO OF YOU! SO GET ON YOUR FEET AND GO SIT DOWN AT THE BACK OF THE SHIP!" Erza yelled.

Natsu and Gray whimpered and ran to the back of the ship.

Natsu and Gray both glared at each other, the whole way back except, Natsu couldn't glare efficiently and he was lying on the ground. When they got to Magnolia, Natsu shot off the ship and shot fire out.

"FINALLY! OFF THE SHIP!" Natsu yelled.

"A wizard like him can fight a seventeen foot tall monster but, has motion sickness?" A sailor whispered.

Natsu turned to the sailor who had uttered those words.

"You got a problem with that?" Natsu said.

"N-no! Not at all!" The sailor stammered back.

Natsu smiled and went to catch up to Erza, and everyone else.

"Hey! You guys! Wait up!" Natsu yelled.

"It's your fault for being to slow Natsu!" Happy called out.

"Hey! Happy! Aren't we friends?" Natsu yelled.

Hey grabbed Happy's tail and Happy cried.

"Natsu! I didn't mean it! Ahhh! Lucy! Save me!" Happy cried.

"Natsu don't hurt him! You know he was only kidding." Lucy said.

"Well yeah. Of course I know that." Natsu smiled.

He rubbed Happy's head and let him go. Happy flew in front of him. His eyes were teary.

"Natsu!" Happy yelled as he flew into Natsu.

Then Happy got over it and he sat on Natsu's shoulder. Then someone tapped his back.

"Hey… umm Mister?"

Natsu turned. It was a little boy.

"Are you a wizard from Fairy Tail?" He asked.

"Yeah." Natsu smiled.

The little boy's face lit up.

"Really?! That's so cool! So all of you are from Fairy Tail?!" The little boy exclaimed.

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse us, we must return to our guild." Erza said.

"Ummm… I wanna be like you when I grow up." The little boy smiled.

Natsu was stunned. This little boy, reminds me of me when I was younger.

"You'll get there one day!" Natsu smiled.

"Aye!" Happy said.

The little boy smiled and ran off.

"Natsu that was awfully nice of you." Lucy said.

"Well, you know." Natsu said.

Then, Natsu and his friends arrived in front of Fairy Tail.

Natsu stared at the building and remembered that when he had first came here, this building was a fascinating as it was to him today.

"Well, let's go in!" Lucy said.

"Aye!" Happy yelled.

"Yeah!" Gray yelled.

Then the doors swung open.

"Natsu!"

"Lucy!"

"Erza!"

"Gray!"

"Happy!"

All their names were shouted at once and they were hit with a wave of friends.

"Where have you been?! It's been a month since you left for your quest!" Levy asked Lucy.

She glanced at Natsu.

"Let's just say… something urgent came up." Lucy replied as she winked at Natsu.

He smiled back.
