Chapter 8
His Young One
Seven Years Arc
"Wake up Happy" Natsu nudged the sleeping exceed
"I'll follow you at the guild" Happy mumbled in his sleep
"We're not going to the guild today Happy" Natsu explained, which seemed to have awakened Happy
"What do you mean? Where are we going?" Happy asked
"Tenrou. But first we need to get to Hargeon." Natsu told him the details
"What are we going to do there?" Happy inquired
"I just have to check something. Come on Happy. Get ready" Natsu replied
Line Break
"UGHH" Natsu puked into the ocean for the umpteenth time
"Natsu, don't puke in the water. You'll poison the fish" Happy said to him
"It isn't my fault, it's the oceans. Being wavy and not still" Natsu held back puke
"Natsu-san are you sure you're okay" Bobo said
"Yeah, just a uGHHH" Natsu couldn't hold back any more and released into the ocean.
"How long till we get there?" Happy asked ignoring the Natsu's antics
"If the direction Natsu gave is correct, and no any unexpected things should happen, we should arrive there in an hour." Bobo replied
"Thanks for transporting us again" Natsu regained his composure and stopped emptying his stomach
"It's okay, after all you helped us a lot back then" He said
"UGHHH" Natsu wasn't able to reply as once again he is facing the ocean and letting everything go out.
"Now, I don't want to fish. Fish covered in Natsu's barf" Happy complained
"Eh?" Bobo was confused until Happy hid the fishing rod he was holding which surprised Bobo, since he did not see it before
'Weird' He just thought. The exceed chose just to sit in front of the boat and look around, while Natsu still releasing, if there's still any, his food into the ocean.
"STOP" Natsu suddenly said, his motion sickness gone
"HUH?" Bobo and Happy were both confused
"We're here" Natsu simply stated his face void of any signs of motion sickness
"Are you sure?" Happy asked
"Yeah, I'm sure. I can feel magic. Try to feel it Happy" Natsu explained
"Uhm…AYE" Happy quieted down and began to feel his surroundings.
"I feel it!" Happy exclaimed after a while "But, there's"
"Two" Natsu continued what Happy was about to say
"AYE" Happy agreed
"Could it be the remaining magic power that Acnologia discharged here?" Happy asked Natsu
"Maybe, I'm not sure" Natsu shrugged his shoulders.
"But, I know there are two different magic remains here" Natsu said looking around.
They spent an hour there looking around, Natsu dived into the ocean, Happy flew above, and Bobo stayed with the boat.
"Let head back" Natsu said as he pulled himself aboard
"Are you sure Natsu-san" Bobo asked
"Yeah" He said and turned to Happy "HAPPY WE'R GOING BACK" he shouted, Happy followed and went back to the boat.
"We're going back" Happy asked
"Yeah" Natsu said "We'll talk about the things we found out when we're back" Natsu explained before, by some weird force, his motion sickness came back and with nothing to puke out he slumped to the side of the boat. Happy looked at Natsu for a second before turning towards the ocean in front of him.
Bobo controlled the boat at turned it back towards Port.
Line Break
"Ah, I've missed you ground" Natsu jumped off the boat and towards the pavement, and he kissed it.
"Natsu is a weird one isn't he" Bobo commented
"AYE" Happy agreed and left the boat
"Thanks for the ride Bobo-san" Natsu stood up and thanked the demon fisherman
"You're welcome" Bobo replied
With that the duo walked away and Bobo went back to the sea to find fish.
"I'm starving" Happy said as his stomach grumbled
"Me too" Natsu said his own stomach also grumbling "Let's find a place to eat"
I am a Line and this is my friend Break
"Finally home sweet home" Natsu stepped off the train and hugged the ground
People watched the Dragon slayer's antics.
"Let's head home Happy, it's been a long day." Natsu said
"AYE!" Happy agreed
As the two were walking through town they met Macao and Wakaba
"Woah, Natsu where have you been. We went to the guild earlier to see you but the guild was locked" Macao said
"Some out of towns business, perhaps" Wakaba said chuckling
"No we went to Tenrou" Natsu said
"Tenrou, what did you do there?" Macao asked
"We investigated " Natsu simply replied
"Did you find something?" Macao asked
"Don't know if we find a thing, but there is something" Natsu said
"AYE" Happy added to the statement,
"What is it?" Wakaba asked
"We'll I'm not so sure myself. Let's talk about this at the guild tomorrow morning" Natsu suggested as he yawned
"Yeah, you're probably tired and all" Macao said with an understanding gaze
"See you tomorrow" Natsu and Happy bid goodbye and walked away
"Easy on the booze" Natsu shouted/ advised at the two. The two older gentlemen just chuckled and went on to their merry way.

Next Day
Natsu P.O.V
Right now, Happy and I are walking towards the guild. Yesterday, my body was aching and tired because of my prolonged motion sickness. The moment I reached home, I collapsed and slept at the floor. I even forgot to eat dinner. Well, my hunger was solved today, had a heavy breakfast that I would like to keep inside me, so no transportation today.
"NATSU" Macao called out to me, we had just arrived at the guild and Macao who was with Wakaba was already waiting for us.
"About time you got here" Wakaba told us, which I just ignored and went and unlocked the doors of the guild.
The two immediately went in
"Wait for us Natsu" Wakaba told us dashing to the basement.
"Yeah, we'll just grab something. Be right back" Macao followed his friend to the basement
"I'm going to get something to" Happy said, flying to the kitchen
"Where do you think you're going?" I asked Happy, clearly he forgot we raided the guild's food stock.
"Huh, the kitchen" Happy replied still not getting it.
"Which we" I continued
He stopped before his face lit up then hung low
"Yeah. Everything's in the house" Happy said in a low voice. Then his face lit up again "No, Natsu. I left the bread alone." He fled to the kitchen
I released a sigh and sat down to the nearest chair to me. Hope your fine gramps, wherever you are right now. The three were going now towards me. Happy carrying a bunch of bread and Macao and Wakaba carrying booze. I released another sigh
The three took their seats. Dropped whatever they were carrying to the table. Macao and Wakaba looked at me.
I sighed again
"So, we went to Tenrou right. When we arrived where the island was, there were still magic traces on the area. However, there were two different traces of magic. The other one was faint, the other was strong. Underwater, the other magic was strong. It feels like the magic is right in front of you"
"Did you see anything" Macao interrupted, taking a sip from his bottle
"Sadly, nothing. Only magic traces." I said with my head down.
Macao just said 'oh'
"So, that's it" I finished
"Well, that seems peculiar" Wakaba commented
"Yeah, it still needs a lot of investigation" Macao commented
"Aye! We will go back there sometime in the future" Happy said
"Oh?" Macao looked at Happy then turned his gaze to me.
"Yeah, we were planning to go back" I just said
"Next time eh. We'll go with you next time" Macao declared while taking a sip
"Sure" I agreed
"So what now?" Wakaba asked, putting down his bottle of booze.
"We find out more, from here" I said "then train"
"Alright then, can't let you youngsters show us up" Macao declared with confidence
"Make sure you don't break a bone there, old man" Wakaba emphasized on the last two words
"Oi, we're nearly the same age" Macao turned to Wakaba pointing at him
Wakaba chuckled at raised his arms in defeat
"I'll leave you here then, I'll go to the library" I stood up
"Happy, want to hang-out with them" I asked Happy who was quiet. Turns out he was stuffing his face with bread
"MM MFSMF MSFM" he said with bread in his mouth
(*translation- I'll follow you)
"Okay" I looked at him, then turned towards the direction of the library.
LINE BAERK
Time Skip
Three Months Later
Me, Happy, Macao and Wakaba were inside the guild. We're currently waiting for the arrival of our comrades. Bisca and Alzack arrived yesterday. So there's bound to be someone arriving today. The couple got engaged during their training. We congratulated them, and asked them who proposed who. Turns out it was Bisca, much to Alzack embarrassment we laughed. The two were spending the day off today.
The doors of the guild opened and revealed Max, Warren, Reedus and Nab.
I approached them and greeted
"Welcome back guys. How you've been fine"
"Not so bad, master" Max emphasized on the last part with a grin
"I'll smack that grin out of your face" I jokingly warned him.
"All right, whatever you say, master" He grinned
I just released a sigh
"Ah, Natsu if you don't mind. We'll head home for today. We're really beat" Warren said
"Sure" I let them
"See you tomorrow….master" Max said once again
The four left the guild and went their separate ways.
I went back to where I was sat before. I wondered why Macao and Wakaba didn't greet the new arrivals. I looked at them and turns out the two were out cold. There were a lot of bottles of booze in their table. I looked at Happy, who was asleep for some reason.
It was sometime around noon, when the most of them arrived.
By the nighttime, I'm pretty sure everyone has arrived. Macao and Wakaba came to hours earlier and left for home. Happy was now awake and flying around the guild
"Come on Happy" I called out to him
"We're closing shop" He went outside
"Tomorrow's going to be a long day" I muttered to myself
"What was that Natsu?" Happy asked
"Nothing"
Line Break
Next Day
Third Person P.O.V
Before the sun was up, Natsu and Happy were at the guild. They had to arrive early, since he had the key to the guild. So yeah, he needs to be early. Today Fairytail will be packed from the members who returned from their vacation/training.
The first one to arrive were Kinana and Laki
"Good morning master" Laki and Kinana said
"You don't have to call me master. You can still call me Natsu" Natsu explained to them.
Kinana just nodded while Laki just said
"Where would be the fun in that?" She said with a smirk.
By the way what are you doing here so early" Natsu inquired
"'Back then we are always early" Laki said
"Oh" Natsu just said
"Well, I better head off to the kitchen. Let's prepare something to serve the people" Kinana said making her way to the kitchen only to be blocked by Natsu
"Ah, there's no need for that" Natsu said with obvious panic and fear in his voice
"Why?" Kinana asked innocently, while Laki was grinning madly.
"Well, uhm…Most of the food, were….were…..spoiled!... So I had to throw them out" Natsu managed an excuse
"Ah okay. But I would like to see what's left and what we could still serve" Kinana said excusing herself and making her way to the kitchen
'Phew, dodged a bullet' Natsu thought
"Nope, the gun still hasn't been fired" Laki said as if reading Natsu's mind
"HuH?" Natsu asked 'innocently' 'What the hell? Is she some mind reader' Natsu thought
"The food didn't get spoiled. I bet you and Happy raided the kitchen the minute everyone was gone" Laki pointed out, Natsu whistling and trying to act cool
"No, that's not true" Natsu quickly said,
"Oh, defensive are we?" Laki smirked
"Happy come here" Laki called out to the exceed
"Aye?" Happy asked as he flied towards the two
"Is it true that you raided the kitchen the minute everyone was gone?" Laki asked
"No" Happy replied 'Phew, nice save Happy… .no' Natsu thought and was interrupted as he saw Happy opening his mouth again.
"It was at nighttime" Happy dug Natsu's grave
"Thank you Happy, you can go now. I'd like to talk to Natsu" Laki said with a smile.
Natsu was glaring daggers at the exceed, which had no effect on Happy.
" .Tsk. What a shameless guildmaster. Raiding the kitchen at night" Laki said
"What? No, it was Happy's idea" Natsu cried out, flailing his arms around pointing at Happy
"Such shamelessness. Blaming a cat" Laki continued toying with Natsu
"But, but, but" Natsu couldn't say the right words
"See you later, Master" Laki teased before walking towards the kitchen. Joining Kinana.
Natsu stood there for a while until he was shook out of his daydreaming by Happy. Soon, the sun was high up in the sky, and Fairytail came to life. They were only serving drinks to people, since every food was gone.
They exchanged stories of their training. Everyone was having a good time.
It was afternoon when Natsu made an announcement.
"Everyone, everyone" Natsu called the attention of his guild mates
Soon, they quieted down and looked at Natsu.
"Well, okay. So a week from now, we would have a Fairytail free for all battle. Now, the purpose of this battle to see how much you have improved"
The whole guild cheered
"I wasn't finished" Natsu semi-glared at them. The guild went silent.
"So, as I was saying, a week from now, a free-for-all battle between Fairytail members will take place. There will be different two events. Solo queue and group matches. The qualifications for group will be 5 members or less, but more than one. Submit your entry forms to me. Your name, your group, etcetera. The winner of the two categories will be rewarded handsomely"
The whole guild cheered once again before someone shouted from the crowd.
"Is that you Natsu? You're seem smarter" the someone shouted *cough* Laki *cough*
"I happen to read books" Natsu retorted, the whole guild was suddenly in state of shock. Everyone was frozen in place with their mouths open. Except for Natsu, Happy, Macao and Wakaba.
They were shook out of their daze when there was a bright flash. They looked at the source it. They saw Happy holding a camera while Natsu was grinning madly.
"That will be going to the wall" Natsu said, before walking away laughing. While Happy was confronted by Macao and Wakaba who wanted to see the picture.
And that ends it. Not my best work, I had trouble writing this. Since this chapter is like a bridge between two points of the story. So like a filler I guess, but this is just me.
