Thank you to everyone who reviewed and/or favorited last chapter.

Unfortunately this may be my last update in a while. My computer has broken and I am unable to reach the chapter files so I will have to type the chapters on my phone, which is very annoying.

Enjoy!

Chapter 10

Flashback

The following day, Natsu, Lisanna, Laxus and Mirajane were all noticeably absent from the Guild. Unfortunately Natsu had awakened earlier than Erza and had left much before she awoke.

"Has anybody seen Natsu?" asked Erza.

Some people looked around and scanned for him, while others simply ignored the request.

"No, I haven't seen him today." Answered a younger looking Macao.

"Then where is he?" Wondered Erza aloud.

A younger, more timid looking, Elfman walked up to her and said, "I saw Lisanna headed up the hill outside of Magnolia. She said she was helping Natsu hatch the egg. He may be there."

Erza looked at Elfman with a critical eye, "And you're sure?"

"Well..."

Erza turned away and left the Guild, headed for the hill she knew Natsu would be at. She stalked through the hill and hid behind a tree just outside the forest, by the hill where she could see Natsu and Lisanna, in bird form, clear as day. Erza was able to see that Natsu and Erza seemed to be engaged in a conversation and enjoying each others company. Natsu raised up his arms, creating the image of a dragon.

"What is he doing?" Thought Erza, "Why is he socializing with the enemy?"

As Erza thought this, she began to realize, "She's trying to lead Natsu over to Mira's side!"

Deciding that she must step in, Erza approached the two.

"So that's where you were..." Announced Erza as she approached the two.

"Oh, hi Erza-nee!" Greeted Natsu.

"Hello Erza," greeted Lisanna.

"Hello," responded Erza, "I was looking for you, Natsu."

Natsu looked at her in confusion, "Why?"

"Because you left the house without telling me?" Responded Erza, her voice rising with every word.

"Heh heh," chuckled Natsu as he scratched the back of his head, "Must have forgot. Sorry,"

Erza sighed, "It's fine,"

Erza then looked over to Lisanna, and the temperature seemingly dropped. Erza was about to say something, when a young voice said, "E-excuse m-me?"

Erza turned around to face a small, six year old girl. In her hands, was a large egg similar to Natsu's. Erza demeanor immediately changed, and she knelt down so she was at the young girls level, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." The girl stuttered, "I-I just...wanted to...talk to..." The girl was poking her fingers together nervously, "Natsu."

Erza raised an eye brow.

"Why do you need me?" Asked Natsu.

"B-because um..." The little girl was at a loss for words.

"Why don't you two go off and speak in private?" Suggested Erza.

Natsu shrugged, "Sure, let's go...um?"

"Wendy...Wendy Marvel" Natsu nodded and headed off with Wendy in tow.

"She seems nice," noted Lisanna.

Erza turned serious, "What do you think you're doing?"

Lisanna look at the red haired girl in confusion.

"Don't act stupid!" Accused Erza, "I know what you're trying to do!"

"What?" Asked Lisanna sincerely confused.

"You're trying to lure Natsu over to Mira's side!" Yelled Erza.

Lisanna was taken aback by this accusation, "What, I just wanna be friends with him!"

"Why?" Questioned Erza.

"Because...well..."

"Exactly, so just admit..." Erza stopped mid-sentence, when she saw Lisanna's face was red.

"He's um...nice..." Said Lisanna.

"Do you...'like' my little brother?" Asked Erza.

Lisanna's blush deepened, "Well, I mean...he's nice and fun,"

Before the conversation could continue, they heard crying in the distance. Both girls turned to see what the commotion was about and could faintly make out the form of Natsu and Wendy. They dashed towards the two. When they reached the two children, they found that Wendy was crying uncontrollably. Natsu was also crying, but not to the extent of Wendy. Erza knelt down and hugged Wendy, see her as the one that needed comfort the most.

"What happen?" Asked Erza worriedly.

"M-Mira came by and accused me of trying to take Lisanna to your side." Explained Natsu.

Erza remained unfazed after hearing that. She was mature enough to see that she was guilty of the same crime.

"Is that all, because it seems like barely a reason to cry." Noted Erza.

"N-no," answered a sobbing Natsu, "Laxus came with her, and said...he said...th-that Igneel was dead!" Natsu broke out into a cry again, and Wendy held onto Erza with more force.

Erza stood up, "I'll show you," she said to herself.

"Wait, why are you crying Wendy?" Asked Lisanna.

Erza soon realized what Lisanna was thinking, if that was all that happened, then Wendy shouldn't be affected to this extent.

"W-wendy's..." Began Natsu, "A Dragon Slayer!"

Erza and Lisanna's eyes lit up. Now they knew why Wendy was crying about it. Erza narrowed her eyes, "Let's go." She ordered.

"Wh-where are we going?" Asked Natsu.

"To the Guild."

Erza marched down the hill towards Magnolia, intent on giving Laxus a piece of her mind! Erza, Lisanna, Natsu, and Wendy entered the front door of the Guild. Erza scanned the area for Laxus and found him with Mirajane trying to intimidate a boy she did not recognize. The boy looked over at us and saw that Wendy was still crying. He shot out of his chair and ran to the little girl.

"Are you okay?" Asked the new boy.

Erza spoke for the little girl, "Laxus told her something insensitive."

The masked boy looked at Erza and asked, "Did it have to do with Dragons?"

Erza nodded her head, "Yes, it did, and I plan on teaching Laxus a lesson."

Laxus laughed from the table the boy had just left from,

"You? Teach me a lesson?" Laxus laughed, "I'd like to see you try!"

Erza reached for the sword slung around her waist, but the new boy thrusted his arm out in front of her, effectively stopping her. He stepped foward, "Let me handle this."

Laxus laughed even more, "HA! Listen Mystogan, I don't think you understand who you're dealing with. So if I were you, I would just forget about it."

"Laxus, apologize." Ordered Master from his spot at the bar, "These children are new to the Guild, and this is their first impression!?"

Master was going to continue, but Mystogan cut him off, "Excuse me, Master Makarov, I know it's your duty to ensure the safety of the Guild, but I request that I handle this situation on my own." Explained Mystogan, "The moment he made Wendy cry, was the moment it got personal!"

Makarov smiled. One of the things he wanted these children to know, the most important thing, was that they were family, and to hear that this was how Mystogan would react to Wendy's pain, meant that the boy already understood the importance of family.

"Very well," responded Makarov, "But try and not destroy the Guild."

Mystogan nodded his head and pulled a staff of of his back.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun." Noted Laxus.

Mystogan rushed at Laxus and swung his staff at the elder mage. Laxus parried the staff with his arm, and thrusted it off. Laxus then side-kicked Mystogan in the shoulder, and the blue-clad boy was sent tumbling into a table.

Having dropped his staff when Laxus hit him, Mystogan reached for his other staff, and pointed it at Laxus, "One Layered Magic Circle: Beam!" He yelled out as a concentrated beam of magic shot out of the staff and hit Laxus dead on. Laxus was sent tumbling into bar, breaking a few bottles in the process. Mystogan rushed forward, and slid down to grab his misplaced staff. Once he had acquired it, he slammed the other staff in the ground to propel himself upward. He landed on top of the grounded staff. He spun the staff in his hand in a circular motion as volts of lightning shot out at him. Suddenly, Laxus was right over him, and swung an electrified fist at the boy, but as the fist made contact, it simply fazed through him.

As Mystogan floated away. "Mist Body," murmured Mystogan as he landed on his feet. He then raised up a hand, and a magic circle appeared around the grounded Staff Laxus was next to, "One Layered Magic Circle: Beam!"

Once again, Laxus was hit by the beam, and was sent flying towards Mystogan, who whacked Laxus back. Mystogan then thrusted his other staff into the ground and called out, "Two Layered Magic Circle: Vortex!"

Two large magic circles appeared on top of and below Laxus that reached to the two grounded staffs. These magic circles then released a powerful force and attacked Laxus on all sides. The impact of the technique rattled the Guild hall, and caused minor damage. When the technique had ended, Laxus stood in place, his clothes slightly battle worn, and glared at Mystogan.

"I'll admit, you did better then I thought, but now it's my turn!" Yelled Laxus as he charged up a large amount of Magic, "Roar of the Lightning Dragon!"

Laxus shot a large amount of Lightning out of his mouth at a tired Mystogan!

However, it never made it.

Standing in front of Mystogan was none other than Gildarts.

"Out of the way old man!" Ordered Laxus, " He wanted to fight, so I'm gonna-"

He was cut off by Makarov bringing his giant fist down, "Boy, you lost this battle the moment you used that technique."

"Hypocrite." Muttered Gildarts.

"Gramps," called Natsu, "WHY WAS LAXUS USING DRAGON SLAYER TECHNIQUES!"

Makarov sighed, "He isn't a dragon slayer in yours or Wendy's sense."

Laxus smirked, "I'm a second generation Dragon Slayer!"

"Wh-what?" Responded Natsu.

"It means he has dragon powers, like you, but wasn't raised by one." Explained Makarov.

"B-but Grandine told me that...y-you have to be t-trained to use D-dragon Slayer magic," said Wendy.

Makarov took on a look of confusion, not one of not understanding the situation, but of being unable to explain. Seeing what he had just done, Laxus decided to explain in his own way, "People who are strong enough can teach themselves Dragon Slayer Magic." Explained Laxus.

"WHAT!" Yelled Natsu, "Really?"

"Erm, yeah." Concluded Laxus, "I'm going on a mission."

End Flashback- Lisanna Strauss

"Wait, so can you just teach yourself Dragon Slayer Magic?" Asked Lucy, "I thought it was a Lost Magic?"

"It is," answered Natsu, "Laxus lied,"

Lucy looked to me for more information.

"We were young, so Master and Laxus didn't want us knowing how he really got Dragon Slayer Magic," I answered.

"If he didn't want you to know, then why would he use it?"

Natsu and I shrugged, "He forgot?"

Lucy sighed, "Well, how WAS he able to use it?"

Natsu and I grew grim, "He had a Dragon Lacrima implanted into his body," answered Natsu.

"It's how he got the scar," I added.

Lucy gasped, "Why would someone do something like that?"

"We don't know," I answered.

"Well, who did it?"

"Don't know," answered Natsu.

Lucy sighed again, "Well, I guess you can continue then."

Thank you for reading!

Like I said my computer is broken, so I had to rewrite this chapter from scratch. The story may go on hiatus if my computer remains broken. I will try and write the story on another device, but as I said, it is annoying and will take some time.

The poll on whether Natsu should learn Requip is still open. If you want a say in this, please vote in a review or on the poll on my profile.

Please Review!
