Chapter 11
The black haired boy looked up at Natsu with a tinge of anger in his eyes as he asked, "Who the hell are you?!" He was about to continue before he noticed Natsu's menacing appearance as he looked at his scars and and missing eye.
"I'm Natsu. I'm surprised I found the son of Metalicana so quickly. I already found Wendy, the daughter of Grandeeney." Natsu said mysteriously.
Gajeel asked, "Do you know where he is?! Metalicana?!"
Natsu kept his stoic face which seemed off to Gajeel. If Natsu had just found someone he was looking for, wouldn't it have made sense for him to be happy? Natsu replied, "Yes I do, but Metalicana would probably get angry with me if I told you. I actually met both of you, but you probably don't remember me." (Natsu met Metalicana and Gajeel 2 years after Igneel died. Sorry for not including it earlier.)
Gajeel was about to say something when the train started moving. Natsu and Gajeel's faces both turned green as they fell over. Natsu thought, 'It's better to sleep than deal with motion sickness.' Natsu instantly went to sleep.
2 hours later…
Natsu groggily stepped out of the train and muttered, "I'm never riding one of those death traps again!"
Gajeel chimed in, "I'm with you on that one bud." He then fell over.
Natsu let out a slight laugh before he went back to his normal stoic expression and asked, "So why are ya here anyways?"
Gajeel mumbled as he got up, "I have a monster extermination quest… AND WHY DO YOU CARE PUNK!?"
Natsu sighed, "I'm here on a quest too. Whatever. I have to finish this up quick so I can get Wendy and I some money."
Gajeel was about to say something but when looked to where Natsu had been, there was nothing. He grumbled, "Him and I are going to have a chat later…"
With Natsu…
Natsu stood in front of a large building with pillars in the front made out of marble. He was going to see the client, which was the city, so he just had to see the mayor. He wanted to get this mission over with quickly so that he could get back to Wendy. He honestly barely trusted anyone there. He was a demon, and they were humans. It wasn't that he was a demon and he thought he was superior that made him dislike them, it's just that he thinks that they are unpredictable and doesn't want a repeat of what happened 300 years ago.
He stepped up to the door and knocked on it and waited for whoever was going to answer. A tall man in a suit came to the door. He had a black coat with black trousers. He had black, almost reflective, polished dress shoes. He had a black belt with a silver buckle. He wore a white colored shirt with a black tie, and it was tucked into his pants with a black belt and silver buckle. He had a head of short gray hair, and blue eyes, with a gray handlebar mustache. He looked forward expecting a grown man to be there, but he didn't see anything.
Natsu grumbled, and then said, "Down here." He really hated being short again, but if that is what it took to fit in with the guild and make Wendy happy he was more than glad to do it.
The man looked down, quite surprised to see a 11 year old boy. He was a also a bit shocked upon the boy's appearance. This "boy" looked much different than anyone he had ever encountered. He looked almost evil. He could see his heavily scarred body through his open coat, and how muscular he was, was a bit surprising. He gazed at his unmoving eye as he looked to the other side of his face. He couldn't help but wondering what had happened to this boy to put him in suck a shape that he hadn't even seen grown men in. He asked the boy who appeared to be 13, "What may I do for you young man?"
"I'm here to do this quest." He said while holding up the flyer.
The man asked, "Aren't you a little bit young for this?"
Natsu glared at him with his one eye gaining and angry look. He made a few scales appear on his hand as he made his nails grown into claws. It made him gain a bit of a monster-like look to him, which deeply scared the man.
The man stuttered out, "C-c-come r-r-right in."
Natsu walked through the door. He came to a man sitting at a desk. He was very well presented to say the least. He was about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a rather lean build. He had a blond handlebar mustache, and blond slicked back hair with a few gray strands in it from age. He looked to be about 40 years old, maybe older. He featured a sharp jaw, as well as piercing green eyes. He wore a black suit, a white button down shirt, and a blue tie with slightly visible lighter blue lines on it. He sat a a plain brown desk that had a few pens and paper scattered around it. It had a short lamp sitting on the left side of the desk. The room was rather plain, having beige wallpaper, with a few other chairs in it.
The man was slightly shocked with how scarred Natsu's body was, as well as his missing eye. He however regained his composure quickly and asked, "What may I do for you young man?"
Natsu, holding up the quest, "I'm here to take this quest."
The man raised an eyebrow before asking, "Aren't you a bit young for this?"
Natsu gritted his teeth in annoyance before doing the same thing he did with the man that greeted him, but he also lit his hand on fire to showcase that he could use magic, which shocked the man.
He attempted to reply as calmly as he could, "Very well… Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Henry Lockman."
Natsu replied respectively, "Natsu Dragneel."
Henry looked at him and said, "I never expected a boy to take my quest."
"Well one did. So what do I have to do? I want to get this over with quickly."
Henry responded, "Well, there is a dark guild that has not necessarily been attacking us, but they have blocked our trade routes starving out town. They also burned most of the fields and killed almost all of the live stock, so there is a shortage of food. Anyone that we send to get rid of them is killed most of the time. We just need you to take care of them so we can get back to farming and trade."
Natsu had a quizzical expression on his face but then said, "So by 'take care of them,' you want me to kill them?" Natsu said in a carless voice, "Sure, sounds fine."
Henry was shocked "This boy thinks I want him to kill them?! How does a kid like that exist?!" He looked back at Natsu and said as he held up his hands in a "no" motion and said frantically, "No, no! Don't kill them. Just capture them so they can be arrested and put in prison!"
Natsu said with no emotion, "Sounds fine. The job will be done." As he walked out of the building.
Henry sighed and thought, "I just hope this boy doesn't kill them…"
With Natsu…
He had quickly made it to the edge of town. He sniffed the air trying to gain a scent, and he soon caught the smell of blood. He made a scowl as he started to walk in that direction as the smell got stronger and stronger. He soon came to a large building embedded in the side of a mountain, with only the front sticking out of it. It a roof that curved backwards towards the mountain, a black front, and large wooden doors with a red frame around it. The door had large wooden right handles, and joining in the middle of them was a large silver skull that ran down the center of the door and broke in the middle so they could open. It had a scene made out of broken wood planks nailed together and painted white that read, "Blazing Skull"
Natsu pushed open the door and the smell of blood overwhelmed his senses. A few members turned towards him and they laughed. One said, "This is no place for some kid!"
Natsu gained an angry expression as the scales on his hands and the large claws appeared again. Natsu said darkly, "You shall repent for your sins!" A few flames appeared around him as the dark guild members looked on in horror. There was truly a demon in front of them.
Sorry for the cliffhanger. I didn't want to make this chapter any longer than my other ones. Sorry for the long wait. I have been really busy with school and finals as well as writer's block so I was having trouble coming up with Ideas. I also have been working on 2 new stories for you guys.
One is about what if Natsu was a celestial spirit. Igneel died when he was young, and he was dangerous as everywhere he went he would leave a path of destruction, so the Celestial Spirit king turned him into a celestial spirit and sealed him away. He is then found later by Lucy, and you can read the rest when the story comes out.
The second story is one about a hypothetical where Zeref won the Alvarez war. For those of you who have not read the manga, Zeref wants to use Fairy Heart and the Ravines of Time to reset the world to 400 years in the past before Zeref became the black wizard, and where his family was alive, and before Natsu became E.N.D. In my story, when the world gets reset, Natsu ends up becoming the black wizard instead. Read the story when it comes out to find out the rest.
I just want to say that Natsu no longer uses swords. I figured that if he has maker magic, why would he need them? I hope you like this chapter, I know it was a bit boring, but I did my best. I also miscounted people for the lineup, so I fixed it.
Here is the current line up:
Ultear: 9
Ur: 4
Wendy: 5
Lisanna: 1
Kagura: 2
Anna: 1
Probably Won't List:
Mira: 4
Seilah: 4
Erza: 1
Dimaria: 2
