Yo. Another update. Life is getting too hectic. Tests starts in three days. May not be able to update next week. Sorry in advance.
Anyone heard opening 20. It is epic. Screams Fairy Tail.
Disclaimer: Don't own any of this.
He should have declined the mission. He had a feeling that it would be awarded, but this was the limit. Erza and Lucy were giving him odd looks when they though he was not looking and Gray was ignoring him all out. Wendy had tried to ask him what was wrong with him but was usually not successful and had given up.
It had been a surprise to see a frozen village much less of the giants. His counterpart was quite for a change.
"We should split up. We will be able to cover more area like that" he didn't know who suggested it but he took a way to the mountains. It had a nostalgic feeling just like the ice. In the way a magic wave hit him and suddenly everything was taller than it was before.
"Seesh. If it did not suck being sixteen forever, now I am a eight years old." He muttered to himself his hair now longer than his body. He begun walking again but was attacked by forest Vulcans. He tried to attract but no flames came forth. He frowned and tried to contact his magic but it was no use.
"Is there a limit on how much a day could suck because I am having the crappiest day ever. Any idea eth" he asked his counterpart who was oddly silent. Then he heard a faint whisper.
'I can help you. But in you condition I don't know what could happen' the warning was there but he chose to ignore it. He had to fight if he wanted to see the next day after all.
"Just do something. If you don't there won't be anything for consequences to act on" he said as he tried to avoid the next attack but it cut off a little of his hairs which now hung off till his ass in an open brad. Suddenly his body's markings flashed and fire erupted. It was not his normal orange reddish flames, but a bluish white flames instead. The Vulcans disappeared on touching the flame only a leaf was left behind.
"what was that?" Natsu asked a little spooked out. He had not expected this to happen.
'It was my curse. I can change the nature of one's magic. I am connected to one magic, origination of all forms of magic. I just changed their flow and it's nature changes. Your sixteen years old body might have bored the consequences but I don't know the effect it will have on your eight years old body. Maybe it will work like the fairy law when incomplete.' A loud explosion was heard and two more waves of magic could be felt but it had no effect on Natsu.
"Wha? I was unaffected?" He asked to no one in particular.
'Yes. It's because of my curse. The nature of magic nullified when it made contact with my curse. Now hurry, I can feel that flame dragon near by it snapped Natsu into motion and he ran toward the mountain. He saw Gray doing something and the Flair women with his group and ice disappearing.
"Natsu" Erza snapped but her expression shifted and became unreadable on seeing him. "Why did you not change back? All of us did?" She asked and everyone's attention shifted to the small dragon slayer. He shrugged.
"Who knows?" He asked and at that time Flare told them about the guardian of the place. Although Natsu did not pay any attention to her and was busy thinking of how to solve his problem END did listen.
'It's Atlas Flame. Use hells fire. You have seen it. Use your phoenix powers and replicate them' he said and Natsu snapped ro reality. He got up from the group and reached his magic.
"What are you doing?" Flare asked worried for her village's secret treasure.
"Don't worry. Your village's secret treasure is a flame right. Natsu can have it ignite to its full potential again" Erza assured as Natsu gathered his power and attacked. The flames rose high and took the form of the hell dragon.
"Wha? It's a dragon" Lucy cried scared. Natsu grinned.
"Hello uncle" he said and for a second the dragon just looked at him. Then recognition flashed in his eyes.
"Son of Igneel? I didn't think you know me before the Eclipse gate?" The dragon asked and Natsu sighted.
"The eclipse gate accident happened some time ago. My this form is due to some magic problem" he tried to explain and then everything went as it should have. They got information about END and departed.
'He either forgot that you are my vessel or he was hiding something. Anyway we have to get your powers under control and have you learn these curses. Time is running out. We have to find that book' END said as they were returning. Natsu snapped his eyes back to the group as they turned to him.
"So what are we gonna tell the guild and Master?" Wendy asked and everyone sweat-dropped.
"I'm gonna be the laughing stick of the guild for months" Natsu cried just thinking about the teasing he will receive.
