"Don't ask how. Asking how someone can fall in love is like asking how you move your legs, it just happens." Erza said as she sat down next to Natsu who was still a miniature Dragon or a really fricken big lizard with wings and scary as shit talons.
"That's not what I mean. You misunderstand. I'm a monster who doesn't deserve love, or friends, or family, or help, I don't deserve anything. I realise that now and..." Natsu dragged on as he felt Erza lay against his large scaled form that was still partially wet from his little dip in the river.
"Natsu, why do you say things like that? I understand Acnologia might have made you do some bad things but-" Erza started whilst slowly letting her arm drape over Natsus extended neck. However she was interrupted by Natsu
"I did a lot of horrible things. If you want proof you are willing to step into my memories again. Just you, and then... then you'll understand why I should just leave. At first, I wanted to hide it..." Natsu started whilst Erza listened intently to his rare moments. He'd opened up in the past but it still isn't something that happens often. ", I thought if I hid my past then I might be accepted, but I'm not about to let you make a mistake like this. I'm not okay with you loving me, not because it's you that loves me, it's because it's you that loves me." Natsu said as he muttered the memory magic spell
"If you do not with to see this then all you need do is tell me to stop and I shall." Natsu said as the white mist began circling Erzas' body, moving it's way between her armour and limbs
"I want to know why you think so poorly of yourself."
Erza sat up with a familiar headache, she knew that she had entered Natsus mind once again. The white surrounding her would slowly form into a memory, one that Natsu wanted to show her.
"My Edolas self is covering the fight. I'll be here when you see this." Natsu announced as the memory began taking shape. From here on out Erza would analyse every single detail of the memory.
"NATSU!" Acnologia roared from inside a cave
"Yes father?" Natsu said whilst bowing before the Apocalypse Dragon that emerged from the large cave opening.
"You're going to have some fun today. You will practice your Chaotic Rift by heading to Hanurman. As I understand it's a large village of primitive tribes people. I want it turned to dust."
"OH YEAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO CRUSH THOSE STUPID HUMANS!" Natsu yelled as a black Aura surrounded his hands and feet
"It's moments like this where I am proud of you" Acnologia said with an approving smile at the monster he had made Natsu into. A true monster... no, not a monster. He's the Son of the Dragon of Apocalypse. Natsu Deathbringer.
"I'm off then. You want any souvenirs? I can bring ya back a meal if you want. It's not a problem for me father." Natsu said as he calmed the magic flowing through him
"How thoughtful. Bring back a family. I want to see tears in their eyes when. Make sure there's a child and their real parents. Otherwise it's no fun at all." Acnolgia said whilst rubbing his huge claw over Natsus hair. Natsu on the other hand quivered in fear as the claw approached him. It was a common thing for Natsu to be struck so he simply got used to preparing for an attack when he seen the black claw coming in his direction.
"I'll be as fast as I can. CHAOTIC RIFT!" Natsu yelled as he opened the rift towards Hanurman.
Erza and Natsu were transported along with Natsu to the primitive village. It was rather large for people who were yet to discover the wheel but the first thing Natsu did was run into a small cabin that had been constructed and pulled out a mother who was cradling a small baby with black hair and a man with Greyish hair who was swinging his fist towards Natsu but none of them were hitting.
Natsu threw the family to the floor and yelled "STAY HERE, YOU GOT THAT?!" The scared family merely huddled together and embraced one another as the embodiment of fear burst through their door.
Natsu, seeing that the family was staying there turned to the village at hand. Seeing most of the people were going about their regular lives brough a smirk to his face. Natsu cracked his knuckles and let out a long breath "This is going to be fun." He said before letting magic flow into limbs.
Natsu then lunged forward at a middle aged woman carrying a basket of fresh fish. Her weakened form and lack of combat training meant she had no time to react before Natsu embedded his fist in her skull. With the woman's face impaled on Natsus now bloodied fist the villagers around Natsu began to panic and flee from the pink haired Dragon Slayer.
"CHAOS DRAGONS FISSURE KICK!" Natsu yelled as he swung his foot in a clockwise direction, breaking the legs of several villages and completely removing some peoples legs. The sheer force of his kick even sent a few people flying into surrounding walls.
"CHAOS DRAGONS DESTRUCTIVE ELBOW!" Natsu shouted as he dropped his elbow through an elderly mans rib cage, breaking his wrinkled torso open.
"CHAOS DRAGONS..." Natsu inhaled deeply "ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRR" A huge blast of magic plowed its way through houses, people and mounds of dirt alike, killing hundreds of people with on attack.
As the remaining villagers around Natsu began to flee from the scene Natsu started laughing "YOU'RE ALL SO PATHETIC. IT'S HILARIOUS. COME BACK, I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH FUN HERE!" Natsu shouted at the air before sprinting off towards the river where locals were trying to escape to.
Almost all of the remaining villagers had started piling into boats to escape the rampaging Dragon Slayer. Seeing as no-one in the village could use magic their only option was flee, but Natsu had other ideas.
Natsu kicked one of the boats that was sitting on the shore into a pile of people that were pushing and shoving their way into boats that were already beginning to cast off. The locals that couldn't speak English soon became annoying for Natsu to listen to and deciding that the fun he was having with these people wouldn't last much longer he decided that a quick death and then returning to Acnologia would be the best thing for him to do at this moment in time.
"You people are so annoying. Here I am, trying to enjoy myself and you keep on screaming in some stupid fucking language I don't understand!"
"CHAOS DRAGONS DESTRUCTION OF THE FALLING PLANET!" Natsu roared out as he raised his hands above his head and collected incredible amounts of magic energy between his palms. He threw the large ball of Magic into the ground and left a large crater in it's wake. The power behind the hit was incredible but it wasn't his strongest, not by far.
"You people. Let's go!" Natsu said as he picked up the family roughly "CHAOTIC RIFT!"
"Back so soon? I'm surprised, you usually tend to stay and play with them a little bit." Acnologia said as he turned to see the meal Natsu had kindly brought him
"You'll understand why I didn't wait around once they start talking." Natsu said with a bored voice as he sat down next to where Acnolgia was
Sure enough the people Natsu had brought began screaming and yelled at Acnologia whilst cradling what Natsu presumed to be their daughter.
"So you brought a family. Good work Natsu." Acnologia said as he effortlessly plucked the child out of the parents hands
"I've seen enough" Erza stated with a glance to Natsu who was looking at the floor
Natsu snapped his fingers and the memory stopped as the small child was dropped into Acnologias mouth.
"Now you see? I don't dese-" Natsu started but was stopped when Erza crashed her lips into Natsus
Natsu was so unbelievably confused by this. He was expecting to be killed there and then by her for that. But she kissed him? What?!
Erza ended the kiss and embraced Natsu. "I know *sob* that you wouldn't have done any of that *sob* if *sob* you had the emotions Acnologia removed. That's why *sob* That's why I am going to save you Natsu. I'm going to save you from yourself, I'll free you from Acnologia" Erza declared as her tears dropped onto Natsus exposed shoulder.
"Erza?" Natsu said as the scarlet haired knight tightened her grip around him
"I promise Natsu. You won't ever have to do that sort of thing again."
"What about the others? What will you tell them and how will they react? From what I understand Gray is already angry with me for leaving that woman to fight Deliora, something tells me he won't be too happy about learning of the total truth." Natsu said asked Erza who was still clinging to him.
Erza put some distance between her and Natsu "I'll talk to the Master about it. I shall see what he wishes to do about it but I refuse to give up on you. Jellal got a second chance and with that second chance he managed to help stop Nirvana, so you deserve a second chance too. Maybe you'll do something great with that second chance too." Erza smiled at him after finishing her sentence
"Let's get out of here. I don't like spending time in this place." Natsu said with a distasteful tone
Erza chuckled slightly "It's your own mind Natsu, there's not much you can do about it."
The large metal door from before appeared in front of them and inside was Natsus Edolas self locking in a fist fight with Erza
"I swear to god Natsu, you're leaving me alone for 2 months to spend time with Knightwalker!" Edolas Natsu yelled at Natsu
"I took like a 3 year break from using that spell and now your pissed off because I use it every couple of days?" Natsu asked him as Erza landed a solid hit on him
"SHE'S PREGNANT YOU RETARD!" Edolas Natsu yelled
"WHO YOU CALLING A RETARD, SPASTIC?!" Natsu retorted as he clashed his head together with his Edolas self, leaving Erza and her duplicate baffled by this
Me and Natsu, having a child? I know I just confessed but that's a large step, I don't think I'm ready but at the same time - Erza continued to connect her thoughts and let her mind wander around the thought of her and Natsu having a child. She thought of everything from potential names to facial features, any unique personalities, the type of magic, where they would stay, their favourite game and most cherished memory. The life of their child was planned out perfectly in Erzas head.
Meanwhile in the normal land of Natsus mind... wait... that doesn't sound right, lemme change that... The almost semi, partially, barely, normal land of Natsus mind (nailed it) Natsu and Natsu argued until Natsu decided that the argument had gone on long enough and increased his magic to the point he could knock Erzas duplicate out with a single hit. No point in dragging the fight out when he could end it there and then with a simple movement.
After Erza and Natsu returned, Erza decided that she would see the Master about what she had just learned and afterwards she was going to get Natsu some clothes. His shirt was ripped off during the first time he showed Erza his wings and his trousers were torn when he transformed into his 'true form'
Erza arrived at the guild that was behaving normally. Chairs were flying, booze was spilling, food was splattered along the wall, Gray was naked, Nab couldn't pick a job, Mira was chatting with a drunk Cana, Lisanna was feeding happy, Wendy was opening her jaw and closing it (Natsus training to increase jaw strength), Gajeel was almost in tears about his guitar being broken, Elfman was shouting... need I say it? 'MAN'. Yep, the guild was as one would expect it to be.
"Master, we need to talk" Erza stated as she removed the drink from his hand.
"Is something the matter?" Makarov asked her after seeing the dry tears on her cheeks
"I'd rather have this conversation privately if that's acceptable." Erza said whilst her eyes darted to the door to the Masters office in suggestion.
"I see." Makarov said as the two made their way to the office.
Makarov and Erza stepped inside and Makarov took notice of the worried look on Erzas face and decided that getting straight to the point of her worries was likely the best plan of action to follow.
Erza spent some time explaining what she saw in the memory. Making sure she didn't miss a spell that was cast of a smile that Natsu gave. Her description was virtually perfect. Once Erza had finished explaining the sight she had seen Makarov replied
"I know"
"What?" Erza asked in disbelief
"I said, I knew of Natsus past. Do you really think that the Son of the Dragon of Apocalypse would have spotless hands? He was practically emanating death and destruction when he entered the guild." Makarov stated
"Then, may I ask why you let him join? Surely you had your doubts as to whether or not he would hurt the guild." Erza said, trying to piece together the Masters reasoning.
"There are members of Fairy Tail who have done bad things in their past. Gajeel and Juvia, the two of them attacked the guild and yet through the help of Fairy Tail they were able to move on from their past and make a new future. I believe we can rehabilitate Natsu in the same way we did with Gajeel and Juvia. If we let someone with that much power continue to destroy city after city then soon he will be unstoppable. Helping him now is the best thing to do, before things get truly out of hand." Makarov reasoned
Erzas quickly came to understand the Masters actions up until this point. Everything became clear after hearing his explanation.
"I see. Master I have decided I shall become Natsus master. It's the least I can do to repay his actions at the Tower of Heaven." Erza said with a small blush from admitting she'd willingly become Natsus mate
"Stop talking crap Erza. You love him. I wasn't born yesterday ya' know." Makarov said before letting out a small laugh
"You sure don't look like you were born yesterday, old man." Erza muttered under her breath
"Anyway, Erza. From what Natsu had said, being his master is a difficult task, are you sure you're up to it?" Makarov asked her, all joking gone from his voice. He needed a straight, honest answer from Erza.
Erza didn't need to think. She had made up her mind already "I'm sure Master." Erza stated before leaving Makarovs office
Stupid brats, falling in love with each other...
A/N: Sorry about another short chapter but I'm struggling to keep up with things right now. So much is happening and finding time to write is becoming harder and harder. Once again I'm sorry about it.
