"So what's your favorite type of ammo? Mine is gravity." Ruby asks.
After Natsu's and Team Rwby's showdown, Natsu, Team RWBY and JNPR walked back to the Dinning Hall for Lunch then they found at table to sit at for the remainder of the lunch period.
"I'm new to this whole special ammo stuff, but the one I have on me are wind bullets." Natsu explains and Ruby's face brightens and she begins to tell Natsu a story she has about wind bullets, "Wind bullets!? Oh I remember, this one time me and Yang were training last summer, and this big horde of Beowulves come running out of the tree..."
Blake and Weiss stare at Natsu and Rwby with questionable looks as they talk up a storm about ammo.
"Are those two okay, they been like that since we got here." Weiss asks.
Yang grumbles to herself and mutters, "Yeah...they must have a lot in common then huh...stupid weapon obsession." She couldn't help but to feel a little jealous of her little sister taking all of her love interest's attention, but it's expected, a man like Natsu could make any girl fall for him..
Weiss looks at Blake and she shrugs then begins to find where she left off on the book she's currently reading.
"And then I pulled the trigger and POW, right through it's mouth that bullet when straight through and killed two more Beowulves behind it." Ruby finishes her story with a proud smile on her face.
"That's amazing!" Natsu smiles to himself, visualizing Ruby defeating a whole hoard of Grimm all by herself.
"I know, I'm awesome." Ruby's smile brightens even more as Natsu boosts her pride.
"Are you going to eat Natsu, everyone is already halfway through their lunch, when are you going to get your's?" Weiss interrupts, worried about The Dread Hunter's health.
Natsu looks at The Ice Queen and waves his hand, "It's fine, I'm waiting for Team CFVY to show up." He plays it off and this makes all of Team RWBY stare at him.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Natsu questions, feeling a little bit uneasy from all the stares from his friends.
"You actually have self-control when you have a goal to reach? That's a surprise, I'd expected you to be half way through the buffet by now." Weiss admits, unknowingly attacking Yang's pride from the core.
Natsu scoffs, "That doesn't mean I'm not hungry, if Team CFVY don't show up in the next minute or two, I'll be done with the buffet before you can even blink."
Weiss sighs, "That wasn't suppose to be taken literally."
"I'm telling you guys, I'm alright, I'm not getting bullied by Cardin. Cardin's just a jerk to everyone, not just me." Jaune interrupts.
"Bullied? Who's getting..." Natsu starts but the sound of laughter interrupts him.
"Please stop." Everyone at the table hears and they all turn to the voice.
They find Velvet in pain as the one named Cardin holds her by one of her fluffy bunny ears. They laugh as she whimpers as he pulls harder on her ears, "What a freak." They hear one of Cardin's teammate mumbles as they watch the faunus suffer.
Natsu immediately takes action and gets up to his feet then makes his way to his friend in need with his fist clenched tight, "Hey! Let go of her!" He yells, trying to get their attention.
The whole Dinning Hall goes silent as Natsu roars in fury at the sight of his friend in Cardin's grip. Cardin and his team looks at him and they laugh at his cliché act of bravery to save his friend.
"What do you want pinky? Can't you see that me and my friends are just having a little fun?" He taunts and pulls Velvet's ear harder, which makes her cry in pain.
"I...said...stop..." He orders again, but this time his hand on his holster, ready to draw out some pain.
"Hey man, he has a gun on him, maybe we should back off for..." One of Cardin's friends tries to persuade him but Cardin ticks his tongue.
"Fine fine, off you go, you win tough guy. Now you and the freak can...AHH!" Cardin gives in but Natsu interrupts him by grabbing his face and violently smashes his face on the table. Everyone around Natsu flinches at his release of anger as he holds Cardin's face down on the wooden surface of the table.
"If I ever see you hurting one of my friends, or any faunus like that again...I'll break more then your face. Understand?" Natsu threatens.
"When I get...out...I'll..." Cardin tries to resist.
"Understand!" Natsu asks again and pushes his face closer to the table.
"Alright, show's over everyone. Mr. Dragneel you can let go of him now." Glynda breaks the fight.
Natsu lets go of Cardin and backs away while Glynda shakes her head in disappointment, "Here at Beacon Academy, we accept any student from any background, poor, rich, human, and especially faunus. I'm very disappointed in you Mr. Winchester, not only did you publicly bully one of you fellow students, you bullied for a reason only a coward would think would justified their actions. So from this day forward, Team CRDL will be required to complete 100 hours of detention by the end of the semester. Is that understood?"
Cardin groans in annoyance and nods hesitantly, "Understood..." He mutters.
Glynda glares at him for a moment then to Natsu as her anger dies down, "Mr. Dragneel, follow me, you too Team CRDL." She orders and turns around.
Natsu doesn't ask any questions as he follows Cardin, leaving the rest of Dinning Hall to recover in his absence.
Everyone at the Dinning Hall takes a few moments to recover before everything went back to normal. Velvet is left standing alone by herself with her hands clasped together on her chest. She feels very guilty for getting Natsu in trouble at her own expense.
"Velvet! Sorry we're late, forgot my list for the dance next semester." Coco calls her with Fox and Yatsuhashi following behind her.
Velvet ignores her leader and thinks more about to make it up to Dragneel.
"Velvet, hey, snap out of it." Coco waves her hands in front of Velvet's face.
"...sorry...I'm sorry..." Velvet mumbles to herself.
"Sorry? Velvet what's wrong." Yatsuhashi asks.
"Natsu's in trouble...because of me." She explains.
"That's not a big deal Velvet, you and me both know that he can take care of himself." Coco assures.
"What did he do Velvet?" Yatsuhashi asks.
"He was trying to protect me."
"Explain." Coco orders, changing her attitude from calm to furious.
"It was Cardin Winchester, a first year." Weiss interrupts with her team behind her.
"Are you alright Velvet?" Pyrrha asks with her team also behind her.
"Can someone please tell me what Cardin did!" Coco loses her patiences.
"He was pulling on my ears...and his team started to laugh at me...one of them even called me a...a freak..." Velvet slowly explains trying not tear up.
Yastuhashi grits his teeth and looks around for this coward named Cardin but Fox puts his hand on his shoulder and points to Velvet, 'telling' him to listen to the story before breaking someone's jaw.
"Then what Velvet..." Coco says while trying her best to keep her composure like Yatsuhashi. The idea that an underclassmen had the audacity to even think about bullying Velvet just puts her on the breaking point of snapping.
"Before they could do anymore, Natsu stepped in and told...Cardin...to let go of me. He did and the next thing I know Natsu is pinning Cardin to the table. I've never seen Natsu so angry before. After that Professor Goodwitch broke the fight."
Team CFVY calms down when they here Natsu's interference in the cowardly act, "So where are they now?" Coco asks.
"They just left before you three got here, Professor Goodwitch took them somewhere." Ruby reports.
"Sigh, then Natsu and Cardin are at the mercy of Goodwitch then, Natsu was justified so she should let him off the hook." Coco gives up on retaliating, but this doesn't mean that Team CFVY has someone in their cross-hairs.
"This is where you four will be spending your breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Breaks till you finished your 100 hours. I suggest you all should get situated, you four aren't leaving till the lunch period is over." Glynda instructs and leads Team CRDL, and Natsu, into a familiar dark room with a steel table, four chairs, and a single light handing above the table. Glynda has put many rule-breaking students in here before, similar to an interrogation room, this is where students will think about what they've done in isolation from other students for long periods of time.
"You can't put us in here like animals!" Cardin argues as he and his team looks around the dark room.
"You say that this is cage for animals Mr. Winchester?" Glynda asks.
"Yes, you can't do this to us! You are suppose to be training hunters here, not treating us like children!"
"Mr. Winchester, if you want me to train you to be a hunter...then stop acting like a child. I'll see you four after the period, let's leave Mr. Dragneel. Professor Port will take care of things from here." Glynda assures and walks out the room.
Natsu nods and walks out the room while passing a large gray haired man with a smile on his face, "Now I heard that you four have been causing a problem on this fine campus..." He hears before the man named Port closes the door behind him.
"Now Mr. Dragneel." Glynda while walking down the hall way.
"Yes Professor?"
"Mr. Dragneel you need to have some self-control when dealing with this types of situations. Pinning Mr. Winchester to the table was unnecessary and will only pour more heat into the fire between you two. I know you dislike him but I need you to have some control over your emotions when reminding him of his errors. As a huntsman you need to be the most calm and the most collective person you can be once in a heated situation. In some situations, staying calm will provide you the best chance of survival and completing the objective." She lectures.
Natsu frowns at her words and feels as if he fail her as her student, after all his actions reflect on her teachings.
"But...thank you." She thanks sincerely.
Natsu looks at Glynda in surprise, "What?"
"Thank you, not many people would of done what you did earlier, standing up to a group of students bullying another student based on their race. It's good to see that not everyone hates the faunus. In my opinion, I think the faunus should be treated equally not only here, but all around the world. It makes me sick to see the hatred against people for what they are, but you're the opposite. You love people for what they are, so thank you Mr. Dragneel, thank you."
The words of Natsu's new mentor tugs as his feelings and he does something he does best, hugs. So The Dread Hunter pulls his mentor in for a loving hug without saying a single word. He just smiles and unintentionally motorboats his favorite professor.
"Plea...please Mr. Dragneel!" She moans as Natsu tightens his grip around the blond teacher.
This action of love may or may not endanger Natsu's well-being in the distant future.

- 6:00 pm Dormitories -
After putting Team CRDL in the detention room, Natsu and Glynda spent the rest of the day together teaching the students of Beacon Academy about the combat and the ways of engagements. With the day coming to a close Glynda said it was alright for Natsu to return to his room in the dorms to sleep. Natsu obviously follows her requests full-heartedly and returns to his room, now he walks down the empty halls of the dormitories, heading to his room.
'What a day it has been and I've done...I'm exhausted and I need some sleep.' Natsu thinks to himself.
He hears someone running behind him and smells something sweetly-beautiful, in his words, then turns around to meet the woman behind him: but as soon as he turns around he's tackled to the ground.
He and the woman groan as they regain their focus. As they open their eyes they both yell each other's name in surprise.
"Natsu!?"
"Pyrrha!"
One was more happy while the other was more of a surprise, Pyrrha gets off him immediately and looks down at her feet to avoid any chance or eye contact with the cheerful man.
"I'm sorry Natsu, I wasn't paying attention and I was just in such a hurry. I'm so sorry..." She starts but she stops when she feels his hand rest on her shoulder. She looks up and finds Natsu smiling.
"Relax Pyrrha, it's no big deal, you look sad, are you alright?"
"Thank you Natsu but I'm fine, really." Pyrrha plays it off but Natsu can tell that something is wrong.
"You know what, c'mon, I got just the thing to help you relax at my place." The Prince suggests and points to his room door down the hall.
"Your room? No, that won't be necessary Natsu I don't want to be a bother." She tries to resist Natsu's offer.
"Aw c'mon Pyrrha, you won't regret this." He insists and grabs her hand then runs down the hall.
"Natsu?! Wait!" She calls.
"Oh you'll just love this."
"...Natsu...so what is it that you wanted to show me?" Pyrrha reluctantly asks, stilling deciding whether Natsu's plan is good or bad for her well-being. She looks around the lit up room as Natsu walks toward his bed.
Her face burns in embarrassment as Natsu proceeds to takes his jacket off while plainly saying, "You can take off you armor now."
Pyrrha's face turns into the color of her hair and she begins think of many sexual things that relate to the phrase he just said, "M...my armor? Natsu please, we just met..." She stutters and turns away from the ripped teen.
"Just take them off Pyrrha, I can't give it to you if that armor is in the way." Natsu 'explains'.
The red head feels her heart try to burst out of her chest as she 'realizes' Natsu's true intentions to make her...relax.
'We...we're going to do it. We're really going to do it. I don't think I'm ready maybe I should just-WAIT! This is what I've been waiting for, Natsu is one of the only people at this school that treats me for who I am, not just some title I won hundreds of miles from here. If I refuse his love now, I'll lose the friendship I might never get again...Pyrrha, you can do this, just follow his lead and he'll do the rest.' Nikos prepares herself for the dragon's love and slowly begins to undo her chest armor with a strangely determined look on her face.
"You can lie down on the bed if you want, I just need to get something from the restroom real quick." Natsu suggests as he hangs his jackets on his desk chair then disappears into his bathroom.
Nikos blushes at, what she thinks, Natsu is getting from the bathroom and takes off her chest armor then places it on one of Natsu's bedside table. She then sits down on the bed and takes off the remnants of her armor till she's completely in her black under garments. Looking her her pile of clothes on the bedside table, she begins to feel a bit nervous as she begins to take off her bra.
'We're really doing this aren't we...and he's going to...touch my...my...' She begins to have another realization as she lets her D-cup breasts free, from their black cage. Natsu must have experience in this type of thing since he was so bold earlier to just take off his jacket in front of a woman and plainly asked her to undress herself. So she has the idea that he will do things to her body that will make her feel pleasure beyond her imagination, making her feel hot and bothered just thinking about it the bliss she will experience tonight.
"Will he like them...I heard that boys like them big." She mutters to herself and squishes her love pillows together. She found it odd asking herself this question, she never had to think about her body in this way before since everyone voluntarily put themselves under her, on a power scale so to speak, and never tried to make a more on her because they thought they wouldn't have a chance with her in a romantic relationship. Regardless of her odd feeling, this makes her feel truly happy for once, she actual feels like a normal woman-in-the-making with normal problems that all teenage girls deal with in this time of their lives. Specifically, problems that do with boys and their sex appeal.
Pyrrha smiles to this discovery and takes off her black womanly briefs, which clings to her heart shaped butt. After placing her underwear on her pile of clothes, she hears the bathroom door open, making her panic so she quickly climbs into Natsu's bed and covers herself with the bed's red comfy red blanket with her fleshly pillows squished to the bed.
"Okay! Let's do this!" Natsu cheerfully pumps himself up for the beginning of the deed.
Natsu's victim of pleasure slowly turns her head toward him with a blush on her face, "Please but gentle Natsu, it's...it's my first time."
Being the kind individual that Natsu is, he tries to assure Pyrrha, "Don't worry Pyrrha, I've done this so many times that I practically know all the sweets spots so just relax and I'll do the rest."
"O...okay..." She mumbles, confirming her suspicions about Natsu's experience in this type of work and she tries to calm herself by breathing slowly in and out but it all sounds like soft moans in her opinion.
'Why do I sound like this?! Stop Pyrrha!' She thinks to herself and begins to feels a little bit wet between her legs.
Nikos feels Natsu climb on to the bed then hovers over her and begins to slowly takes off the blanket off her back, revealing her smooth pale back to the lady killer. Making her moan even louder to his teasing strip.
"Now just got to put this on then we're all set." He mumbles and grabs something out of Pyrrha's sight.
Still thinking dirty thoughts, Pyrrha sighs in relief, 'Thank goodness he's using protection.' She thinks but her worries only get worse as she hears the sounds of a bottle of some sort being squeezed and her eyes widen.
'Is he? No...why? Is he that big...will it hurt? What if he's too big to fit in? PYRRHA! What did you get yourself into!' She starts to panic but freezes as Natsu begins to rub her back with his abnormally warm hands. This is when an ambush of pleasure invades her body the instant Natsu touches her back.
A very loud moan echoes around the room and she arches her back, this feeling of pleasure wasn't indescribable, it was like the divine warm from the sun itself is burning all her worries and fears away though the hands of the man hovering over her.
"N...Natsu..." She whimpers as she buries her head in the pillows of the bed as Natsu continues his love attack.
The teen lowers his head down to hers and whispers, "It feels good right?"
She manages to sound out another moan before murmuring her response, "It..feels...~amazing~"
"I thought you'd say that, Yang said the same thing when I gave her a massage. I think it was yesterday morning right?"
"Uh...huh..." She mumbles, not really paying attention to what Natsu is saying. This massage is just making her feel so good that she couldn't even form proper responses in her head.
"Just relax Pyrrha, it's all you tonight." He whispers in her ear, increasing her romantic experience by a ton.
Pyrrha loudly moans his name again as he applies more pressure on her 'sweet spot' in the name of pleasure and arches her back while gripping the red sheets of the bed tightly.
"~NATSU~" She calls with a face of bliss planted on her face as she falls limp on the bed breathing very hard.
The overwhelming pleasure all over Pyrrha's body made her feel a little tired and she begins to close her eyes.
"You're already sleepy?" Natsu asks but doesn't get an answer.
Natsu hums to himself and shrugs, 'She must be exhausted.' He thinks and gets off the bed.
The First Human Prince of the Dragons starts to clean up while his guest gets some shut eye.
After a few minutes of cleaning Natsu climbs into his bed and clings on to Pyrrha, to capture his pillow for the night, then closes his eye with a smile on his face.
'Huh, she sleeps just like Grayfia.' Natsu notices as he feels Pyrrha naked body snuggle closer to his.
-Tomorrow Morning-
As the sun begins to rise over the horizon, Pyrrha slowly begins to wake up and she feels pumped with energy. She stretches her arms into the air and moans as her muscles relive some stress.
'That was a strange dream yesterday, it was almost too real, all I can remember is...Natsu...and he was...we were...doing it.' She recalls and her face turns red again for the millionth time remembering what she did with Natsu last night in her so called dream.
"I need to rid myself of these dirty thoughts, Natsu would never do that if...if we were together." She mumbles, then imagines if she and Natsu were really together as a couple. She thinks of what would Natsu really be under the sheets, a gentle loving gentleman or would he be a monster and ravage her body to full fill his lustful desires. Both options were surprising evenly intriguing to imagine, but both options still provided both lovers with pleasure in the end when she thinks about it for a little longer. This only makes her hot and bothered as both options end with Natsu pounding her till the two...climaxed.
Nikos takes a deep breath and decides to take a cold shower today, but as she lifts herself up, something strong tightens around her. She rubs her eyes to regain her focus and looks down, only to find a shirtless Natsu clinging onto her chest with the cutest smile on his face.
The poor maiden stutters at the realization that last night wasn't a very realistic wet dream, but an actually memory.
"We...we actually did it..." She mumbles and begins to freak out as important questions begins to gather in her mind.
'Did he put it in...but it doesn't hurt down there...I thought it was suppose to hurt your first time.' She questions as she watches Natsu sleep peacefully.
Nikos calms down as she comes to the conclusion that she isn't using her body as a host for a growing child in her tummy after thinking about the situation for a few minutes.
Seconds later after Pyrrha calmed down, Natsu's door is kicked open and something yellow comes barging in.
"Morning Natsu!" She hears and freezes as soon as she makes contact with the intruder.
"...M...morning...Yang." Pyrrha mumbles, looking at Yang standing in the middle of room, staring at her in pure shock.
...
..
.
"So what we did last night...was a massage?" Pyrrha asks.
After Yang got to her senses when she found Pyrrha naked with Natsu on her, she realized that it was just another ~massage understanding~. So she helped Pyrrha out of Natsu's grip and let her put her clothes on, now Yang sits on Natsu's bed with Natsu on her lap and Pyrrha sitting his desk chair.
"Yup." Yang plainly answers.
"How do you know that?"
"Did he tell you to take off you clothes?"
"Yes."
"Did he tell you that he needed to get something in the restroom?"
"Yes."
"Then it was a massage no doubt about it." Yang assures confidently.
"But that still doesn't explain how you know that it was a massage."
"Well he did the same thing to me and I reacted the same way you did...but I actually didn't take all my clothes off. Wow, you're badder than me, good for you Pyrrha."
Nikos blushes at her actions, "But he said things that made it sound like-"
"I know right! This stud right here is such a tease, he just knows how to play with a girl." Yang smirks and glides her fingers through his pinked colored hair.
"So what happens now?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what do we do now, just pretend that this didn't happened?"
"Sure if you really wanted to, but Natsu's just gonna do this again, it's weird though, Natsu knows all this stuff about life and how to fight...but he is so dense when it comes to relationships...have you even noticed that?" Yang changes the subject.
"Surprising no I haven't, I'm not that experienced in relationships myself."
"What? The famous Pyrrha Nikos hasn't had one boyfriend her whole life?!"
Pyrrha frowns at the word famous in the sentence, "Same here too." She hears Yang confess.
"Pardon?"
"Throughout my whole life all the boys would try and make a move on me, but they just wanted my for my looks. I know I'm pretty hot but I'm a person too you know. If I ever wanted to have a boyfriend, I want him to be a man who loves me for who I am. Not just some pervert that only loves a pretty face."
"And Natsu's the perfect one for you..." Pyrrha puts the puzzle together.
Yang smiles and plays with Natsu's hair, "Yup, he's so kind, happy, and not to mention good looking, I mean just look at his abs he's ripped!" Yang exclaims and points to Natsu's exposed tummy.
"Yes, Natsu is all those things you said." Pyrrha agrees and blushes again as Yang points to Natsu's abs.
"Say, have you wonder how big he is?" Yang asks lustfully.
"How..b...big he is?!"
"Yeah, if Natsu really is the perfect man...he must be huge under here!" Yang mutters as her hands slowly approach Natsu's pants.
Nikos' eyes widen and she immediately stands up, making the desk chair fall down, "I think we should leave!"
"Why? This is the perfect change to answer the 'big' question he he." Yang stops lifting his pants, sadly if she even twitches, the dragon will be released.
"We need to leave know, if we don't..." Pyrrha pauses and looks around for an excuse to leave and spot Natsu's clock.
"~Well~" Yang persists.
"We'll be late for Professor Goodwitch's class." She bluffs and holds her breath unknowingly.
"You're right! I'll see you later hotshot!" She panics and sprints toward the door, throwing Natsu to the floor as Yang runs back to her room to change.
Natsu grumbles and blinks several times as he wakes up, he looks up to find Pyrrha hovering over him, "Morning Pryyha...why am I on the floor?"
The red head turns red as her plan backfires on her, "Oh um...you fell off the bed...here let me help you up." She suggests and holds out her hand.
"Thanks Pyrrha." He thanks and takes her hand.
The maiden easily picks Natsu up as if he were weightless, "You're already dressed...oh no what time is it!" He asks and looks at his high tech clock sitting on his desk and it says 8:30.
"Dang it, I got to ready now if I don't want to miss breakfast. I'll see you later Pyrrha, I gonna take a shower!" Natsu explains as he grabs a bunch of things around his room and makes a break for the showers, but before he leaves, he gives Pyrrha a quick hug.
As he runs the down the hallway Pyrrha smiles as she walks out the room and closes the room behind her, 'Maybe he is the one I'm looking for after all.'
-Amphitheater-
"Alright class, today we'll be going on our field trip to Forever Falls to gather Red Sap from the Red Trees in that region, our transportation is already waiting for us at the front of the academy so let's go everyone." Glynda instructs and watches all the first years leave for the Bullheads waiting at the front of the school.
'Where's Natsu?' The blond instructor thinks as someone runs into the theater breathing hard.
"Sorry Professor, I woke up late..." The person explains while walking up to her.
Glynda couldn't help but to smile at the person, her student, walking toward her with a very noticeable smell of a breakfast buffet on emitting from him.
"You were late because you were hungry Mr. Dragneel?" She assumes.
"How'd you know?" Natsu blushes in embarrassment, now fully dressed.
Before Glynda could answer, a little red Drake flies to Natsu with happy coos coming from the Drake.
Natsu holds out his hand and Ig land on it, then Natsu scratches his little head, "Morning Ig, spending time with Professor Glynda?" He asks and Ig nods his little scaly head then climbs up his arm and sits down on his shoulder.
"Ig here has been spending a lot of time with Ms. Schnee lately, I think he's beginning to miss you." Glynda warns.
"Aw, don't worry little buddy, I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Natsu swears and gives Ig a thumbs up.
Ig nods his head and coos acceptingly.
"A good teacher knows her student's likes and dislikes, here I made this for you." Glynda answer's Natsu question and presents him with a medium sized box the smells simply divine to Natsu.
Natsu takes the box wholeheartedly and immediately knows the contents of the box, "You're the best Professor Goodwitch!" He thanks gives her another one of his 'famous' hugs.
Glynda has gotten used to Natsu's hugs but it still has the same effects on her even with her experience, "Come now Mr. D-Dragneel, the rest of the class is w-waiting for us." She stutters a little bit.
Her students finally lets her go, "Okay, where are we going?" He asks.
"Ah yes, today we're going on a field trip Mr. Dragneel."
Natsu's face brightens in joy, "Awesome!"
"But this field trip is different Mr. Dragneel, today we're going to a forest to collect some sap."
The sound of adventure intrigues him, "What's the forest called?" He asks as he and Glynda walks out of the open theater.
"Forever Falls, it's called Forever Falls Mr. Dragneel."
-The Crimson Forest-
"Wow, this place is amazing!" Ruby exclaims as she takes in the sight of the red forest around her. Never in her life has she seen something unique as Forever Falls.
Her team and classmates agree with gasps as they look around the large red forest.
"Forever Falls may look beautiful, but we're not here to sightsee, all of you know your assignments so get out there and collect the sap then meet here in a hour." Glynda instructs and watches the first years wander deeper into the forest of red.
She turns around and finds Natsu looking around the forest, but with a sad expression on his face, "Is something the matter Mr. Dragneel?"
Her student turns to her and gives her a crooked smile, "Yeah, just looking around."
This was the second time Natsu has given Glynda the crooked smile and she won't ignore Natsu, "Mr. Dragneel, you know you can always talk to me if something is wrong."
"I know." He mumbles and walks off into the woods, leaving a worried Glynda behind. Ig, now on Glynda's shoulder, tilts his head at his best friend, wondering why he was acting this way.
...
..
.
"Hi handsome, you come here often?"
While walking through the forest of red, Natsu finds Grayfia leaning against a tree with a seductive look on her face.
"Hi Grayfia..." He mumbles and walks past her.
"Natsu? What's wrong?" She asks as Natsu abnormal mental state.
"It's nothing Grayfia."
"Oh come on Natsu, when you say that I know something's wrong. Just tell me what's on your mind."
"It's about my dad, remember when I told you about my dad Igneel." Natsu stops and turns his head toward her.
"Yeah, you Dragon pops."
"I...well I..."
"It's okay Natsu, you can tell me."
Natsu takes a deep breath before confessing, "I killed my dad."
"I know Natsu you told me that al-"
"I killed my own dad in this forest."
His words hit Grayfia like a train and she didn't know what to say. How are you suppose to comfort someone who was forced to kill their own father.
"Natsu, you know it wasn't you fault."
"..."
"Natsu?"
"..."
"Natsu, come on talk to me-"
"Now look who it is boys...it's our old friend Natsu." The two hear someone spit Natsu's name like it was venom.
The two turn around and find Team CRDL staring at him, Cardin even had his mace ready for combat.
Grayfia grits her teeth and marches toward the teens, "You good for nothing brats! Interrupting an important-"
"Stop it!" Natsu yells.
"What Natsu, we just want to chat, that's what friends are for am I right?" Cardin taunts.
"Natsu?" Grayfia asks.
"Stay out of this...you don't need to get involved." Natsu orders.
"Natsu I'm not gonna let you-"
"Stay...out...of this." He mumbles and glares at her.
Grayfia's heart starts to hurt that she can't help the man she loves, "Okay Natsu...I'll stay out of it." She assures and steps away from Cardin's path.
"So Natsu, remember when you told me that you'll break more than my face back at the dinning hall? Well me and boys are here to pay you back the FAVOR!" Cardin yells and swings his mace aimed at Natsu's head.
Natsu only frowns as the incoming mace as it slams right into his right temple, Natsu stumbles to the right and falls on his knees as his vision blurs. He feels a slight stinging on his head and warm drops of blood falling from his head and onto the red soil.
"Natsu!" Grayfia yells and runs toward him.
"Stay out of it!" Natsu yells again.
"We're not going anywhere Dragneel. Get him up." Cardin orders his teammates.
Two of team CRDL picks up Natsu and holds him up for Cardin, "You think you're the tough guy huh!" Cardin yells as he drops his mace and punches Natsu in the cheek, Making Natsu fall to the ground, but Cardin's goons pick him right back up.
Right, left, right, left, Cardin released his anger all on Natsu with punch after punch till, he hoped, Natsu's face was all bruised up.
"You think talking makes you tough! I'll break you!" He assures him and tells his goons to let go.
Natsu falls to the ground like a rock as team CRDL starts to kick and punch Natsu with everything they got.
Grayfia couldn't take the see Natsu take such punishment without any resistance, so she looked away and tried not to break down into tears.
"Heh...heh...heh...still won't talk. You had the mouth back at the academy, but now out here, no one is here to help you." Cardin threatens and notices a little red crystal necklace on Natsu's neck.
"Natsu please! Stop doing this!" Grayfia pleas but Natsu remains silent.
"What's this Natsu, you holding off on the gifts with your friends, now that's just cruel." He taunts and grabs the necklace and yanks it off his neck.
Before Cardin could examine the necklace, Natsu firmly grabs Cardin's arm, "Well you look at this boys...he still has some FIGHT in him!" He yells and kicks Natsu face. As Natsu falls to the ground Cardin grabs his right arm and extends it outward just for him to kick it the opposite way it's suppose to bend, breaking Natsu's right arm brutally.
Natsu grunts a little to the pain as Cardin drops his broken arm to the ground.
"WHOA! Cardin dude, if he dies then we'll all be expelled."
"If you dies then we'll blame it on the Grimm, he was just to weak to defend himself." Cardin explains while stomping on Natsu's broken arm repeatedly, flatting his arm like a car running over a water bottle.
"Cardin calm down!" One of Cardin's teammates tries to clam him down by Cardin turns around and punches him.
"NO ONE! I mean NO ONE makes a fool out of me." Cardin yells and grabs Natsu by the collar and drags him somewhere down the forest.
"Cardin wait! STOP IT! DON'T DO IT!" Grayfia hears and she turns around.
She hears a splash of water and finds Cardin standing at the edge of a cliff.
"NATSU!"
...
..
.
Natsu feels weightless as he falls down the cliff Cardin threw him off of, then he feels his whole body cannon ball a body of water. Then there was silence...only darkness remained as Natsu floated in the water.
'Why did I kill you?'
'WHY ME!?'
'What did I do? Was I not good enough?'
'With my OWN two hands I killed you.'
'I'm sorry...'
'I'm...so...sorry...'
Dark thoughts consume Natsu's mind as he remembers his last moments with Igneel. The fear, the pain, the agony of that dreadful day all came back to him in vivid detail.
He then feels his lungs burn as he loses air, he need to breathe, but he chose to stay in the water...he chose to drown.
Naturally, he grabs his throat as he let the water fill his lungs and throat, 'I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...forgive me.' Natsu thinks and lets the pain take over as he loses consciousness.
...
...
...

...

.
But the pain doesn't stop, it continues, it grows in each passing second this pain that consumes him...it calls him. Telling him to wake up, then Natsu finally opens his eyes and everything is red. Everything is a blood red color, he doesn't know if it's his blood or not, everywhere is blood.
Then he feels his pain fill him with energy, Natsu looks around and can see blurry bubbles rising to the surface, something in the blood is making it boil. The Dragon Prince looks down to his hands and finds them consumed in a black flame.
The flame then travels down his arms and consumes his whole body into a giant black flame. He can feel the blood in his lungs vanish and he can breathe again. Natsu breathes hard like he just finished 30 marathons in one sitting as he uses the black flame to launch himself to the surface
Like a bullet, Natsu pierces through the surface and flies into the air just to crash land somewhere. Everything is a blinding white as he lays on his back, his whole body is paralyzed from all the indescribable pain he just went through, he just drowned without dying.
He sees someone hover over him but he can tell that it is a woman hovering over him.
"atsu? ou hear me?" He tries to comprehend what the woman is saying but to no avail.
"NATSU!" He finally understand and his vision clears, Grayfia is hovering over him with fear on her face.
"F...Fia?" He mutters, everywhere on his body is sore and it's extremely difficult to do anything in his condition.
"You're alright!" She cries and hugs Natsu with all her strength.
"I'm...s-sorry Fia."
"It's okay Natsu, you're alright..." She mumbles and Natsu can feel tears fall from her cheeks.
"Don't do that again!" She cries and tightens her grip around Natsu. She knows Natsu couldn't die, but watching him suffer was just too unbearable to witness.
"Fai-"
"You hear me, don't do that again, please...please promise me you won't do that again."
"I...I promise." Natsu swears and slowly begins to regain his strength.
Grayfia makes the promise official by giving Natsu a passionate kiss, "It's a promise, so don't break it." She says after she breaks the kiss.
Natsu lets Grayfia help him up as he takes a look around, he is on a small island in a large lake that has the water that resembles blood. In front of Natsu is a giant crimson tree that he knows all too well, the same tree that he used to mark the grave of his late father Igneel. He left Igneel buried under a crimson tree surrounded by black ash, now his father's final resting place is a grave fitting for a king. A beautiful crimson tree on an island in a lake with two waterfalls falling down from the cliffs in the distance.
Grayfia looks around in awe at the place's beauty, this is just what she wanted to see when she let Natsu have his second chance, "What is this place..."
"It's the final resting place of Igneel Dragraal, The King Of The Fire Dragons." Natsu mumbles and slowly stumbles toward the tree in front of him with the help of Grayfia.
"It's so beautiful."
"..."
"Natsu?"
Grayfia notices Natsu trace some scorch marks on the crimson tree, "I'm sorry dad...I'll find that freak and avenge you. I swear I will."
Death pecks Natsu on the cheek and comforts him with a little hug.
After paying their respects to Igneel, Natsu decides that it's time to go, "Let's go Fia."
In the distance, Natsu can see Team RWBY and JPNR waving toward them on the cliffs.
-Beacon Academy-
"Natsu? Are you home?" Ruby asks, knocking on Natsu's door.
While Team CRDL was jumping Natsu, Jaune finally stood up to Cardin and killed his first Ursa. Now returning to Beacon Academy everyone successfully passed the assignment of collecting red sap. Now, almost, everyone is returning to their dorms to sleep. Team RWBY currently waits for Natsu to show up at his dorm so they can give him something very important to him.
"I think we should give him the necklace tomorrow, I mean what if he's already sleeping." Weiss suggests while playing with Ig in her hands.
"Why don't I just call him and make this go a little faster." Yang suggests and pulls out her scroll and calls the number called Hotshot 3
The scroll beeps a few times, waiting for Natsu to pick up, but she just goes straight to voice mail.
"Hi ya, Natsu not available right not so um...call some time later. See ya." Yang's voice can be heard as Natsu's voicemail, making everyone look at her suspiciously.
"What? I was showing him how to make one of those things." She defends herself.
"Sigh, where is he? I'm sleepy..." Ruby mumbles.
...
..
.
"So that's why you were so tired yesterday? Because Jaune cheated his way into Beacon Academy?" Natsu reviews.
He, Pyrrha, and Jaune now stand on a rooftop of the dorms with the broken moon starting to rise into the midnight sky.
"Do you really have to say that?" Jaune mutters as Natsu brings up bad memories of getting a false transcript.
"That's correct, now I would like for you to assist me in training Jaune to become a experienced fighter." Pyrrha elaborates.
"Okay, when do we start?"
"Really? Just like that?" Jaune asks.
"Yup, when Pyrrha calls I come running, so what do you need me to do Pyrrha"
The armored maiden blushes as Natsu's reason to help, "It would be beneficial for Jaune if he had two perspectives on a topic from two experience warriors. That way he has more than one way to handle a situation." She explains.
"Makes sense, so Jaune?"
"Yeah-AHHH!" Jaune screams as Natsu fakes a punch to his face, Jaune barely dodges the punch.
"Pretty good start, that's a decent reaction time of a sneak attack. Jaune, how about a little spar?" Natsu suggests and puts his hand on his holster.
"W...what?" Jaune mumbles and gulps as he watches Natsu get into his fighting stance.
...

-Several Months Later-
For the next few months at Beacon Academy are pretty averaged of the routine of eat, learn/teach, sleep, repeat with very few interesting things occurring over the weekend, but that doesn't mean that bonds were strengthened and minds were opened. Natsu pretty much became the face of Beacon Academy, he's nice, caring, and thanks to Glynda, somewhat intelligent. Everyone at Beacon knows Natsu and vise versa, Natsu is that guy that you talk to get know the school.
Now with another week coming to an end, Natsu is with Pyrrha to give Jaune the weekly spar to see how much he has improved on the battlefield. Getting the favor from Glynda, Natsu gets to have the amphitheater 1:00:5:00 pm everyday after school hours.
"Alright Jaune, let's see what you got!" Natsu starts the sparring match right way, the match is Natsu vs. Jaune.
Jaune nods in return and takes a few breaths before charging his adversary with his shield in front of him and his sword resting on top of the shield, forming a shield wall.
Natsu waits for Jaune to get into his 'kill zone' before engaging him, he starts by cocking back his fist and hitting Jaune's shield directly. On impact, Jaune recoils back to absorb the shock of the hit, Natsu doesn't stop on his assault and repeatedly strikes Jaune's shield. Jaune begins to struggle against Natsu's brute force and falls to his knee.
'Come on Jaune think!' The team leader scolds himself.
After taking a 10 seconds of pure beating Jaune figures out a counter attack. 'I got it!' He thinks as he waits for Natsu to cock back his fist. As The Dread Hunter cocks back his fist, Jaune takes the offensive and swings his shield outward to deflect Natsu's punch while Jaune followed his shield swing with a sword slash.
The plan works and staggers Natsu back, but a little to far for his sword slash to hit Natsu.
"Oh no." Jaune mutters as he realizes that he's wide open for Natsu to attack. As expected Natsu takes this opportunity to take out Jaune by elbowing him in the face, as the blondie staggers back, Natsu uppercuts him in the gut, grabs his face and knees it, then ends the combo by picking up Jaune and slamming him down to his back.
Jaune groans as he lands on his back, and the air in his lungs is forced out his body, "Ow..."
"This match is over!" Pyrrha announces and walks up to the two fighters while Natsu helps Jaune to his feet.
"That was a good counter, but you need to wait on your swing before attacking, attacking blindly will just expose you to the enemy. Overall though, good match bud." Natsu lectures and slaps Jaune on the back.
"Heh....heh...thanks..." Jaune mumbles as he tries to control his breathing.
"I agree with Natsu, good work Jaune, you ready for round 2?" Pyrrha asks.
