Hi guys! Sorry for taking so long to update, but hopefully this makes up for the wait.

I also want to thank you guys for enjoying this story so much, as I never thought any story I would make would be well liked so much. I'm also glad that my OCs (The future children) are enjoyable as well, as someone pointed out, though I need to make sure I don't screw that up. Hopefully I won't though.

Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter Twenty Five: Rest

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words coming from the person on the other end of the lacrima. Irene, Brandish, and the future children were shocked and horrified as well. Natsu, Cosmos, and Kamika managed to wake up to hear what's happening.

"What do you mean something took the emperor?!" Irene shouted at the lacrima, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"We were caught by surprised." August replied through the device as he went on, "The city came under siege by some weird creatures I have never seen before in my life. We managed to hold them off, but a massive one got the drop on us, knocked out the Emperor, and then took off with him! The blasted creatures then simply retreated!" August explained to Irene, and the others who managed to hear everything the old wizard told them.

'Uncle Zeref was taken by them?!' The future children thought to themselves in shock, worried about their uncle.

"Why didn't you stop it from taking him?" Brandish questioned as she took the lacrima from the red haired woman.

"What part of 'caught by surprised' didn't you get?" August responded, before continuing. "Listen, you need to find him and rescue him. The rest of us here can't risk of leaving in case another attack happens. You must find the Emperor!" August finished as the lacrima was cut off.

Everyone was silent, as the information was processing through their brains.

"…Man life just hates us doesn't it?" Sans simply asked as the others finally processed what happened.

"SANS YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" Both Daron and Marcel shouted at the red haired male.

"Why do the demons need Uncle Zeref for?" Layla questioned, as almost everyone turned toward the future daughter of Natsu and Lucy.

"What do you mean by Uncle Zeref?" Lyon asked the pink haired female, hoping she wasn't talking about the dark wizard Zeref and was talking about someone who just happened to be named Zeref as well.

"Oh Zeref is our Uncle." Rebecca replied to the ice mage.

"Can't you guys just keep quit for like five minutes?!" Nagura shouted at Rebecca and Layla, as everyone who didn't' know that widen their eyes in shock.

"They're not going to shut up." Daron pointed out, giving up on the fact that his brothers and sisters are perfectly fine exposing information that SHOULD be kept hidden.

"WHAT?!" Everyone who didn't know that shouted in surprised.

"Come on guys, maybe Zeref became good in the future?" Natsu guessed, since Zeref is his brother after all.

"Yeah, he did." Tom spoke as he went to his younger dad. "He always, what you and our moms would say, 'Spoil us', but I don't think he does that that much." The future son of Natsu and Millianna told the pink haired dragon slayer.

"Tom, he gave us a massive warship as a present when we were like five." Maria pointed out.

"And we loved it." Tom countered.

"He gave you all what?" Erza questioned the future kids. 'Did they say a warship as a present? Who gives children a warship as a present?' The red haired woman thought to herself, and she couldn't believe that her future self would allow that.

"A warship, and one time when he visited us, he gave us tons of candy." Rose also spoke, getting them to turn their attention to her. "It was great; he was like the best Uncle."

"Well… he doesn't sound bad anymore in your time then." Hisui managed to tell them, as she was getting over the fact that the black mage is their kids Uncle.

"Enough guys, we need to make a plan to find our remaining brothers and sisters and then find and save Zeref!" Yuge told the others, getting their attention.

"Yuge's right." Garad spoke, as he drank another small barrel he had on him, "But how do we do that? We don't know where to look?"

"We need to look at our options and decide what out next best course of action is, and then we'll go from there." Mira told the others.

"That seems like the best move." Juvia agreed with the white haired barmaid.

Everyone in the guild hall also agreed, and began to discuss their next move.

'LATER AT NIGHT'

At this time, mostly everyone was asleep by now. The Lamia Scale guildhall had plenty of rooms for everyone to stay in, so everyone figured they would set out by tomorrow.

Hisui woke up however, as the urge to get something to drink appeared. So carefully, not wanting to wake anyone in her room up, which holds Sans, Tiron, Erza, Juvia, Cosmos, Kamika, and herself, she headed to the kitchen to get some water. Luckily, there was a living area and kitchen outside the room she was sleeping in, so she didn't need to go down all the way down to the Guildhall itself.

As she was about to head back to her room, she noticed the doors to a balcony was open. She got a bit closer, and she saw Natsu simply on the balcony, looking at the sky.

"Natsu?" The green haired princess called out in a quiet tone, getting the fire dragon slayer's attention.

"Oh, hey Hisui. Did I wake you?" Natsu asked her as she went next to him.

"No, I woke up on my own." Hisui replied to the pink haired male. "May I ask what you're doing up at this hour?" She asked him.

"Just have a lot on my mind right now that's all." Natsu answered to the Fiore princess.

"I guess that's reasonable." Hisui understood, "With all that's happen, I guess I can understand." The green haired woman turned to look at the door where she and the others slept in. "They look a lot like you." She suddenly spoke, getting Natsu to be confused.

"Huh?" Natsu replied as he didn't understand what she meant by that.

"The kids from the future, they all look a lot like you." She explained.

"Oh, well, I guess they do." Natsu smiled as he turned to her, "They also look like their mothers as well."

"It makes me happy," Hisui began to speak, "Knowing that they grow to be such kind people."

"You're not bothered by it?" Natsu asked her, getting her confused.

"Bothered by what?" The green haired princess of Fiore questioned the pink haired male.

"You're not bothered by the fact I end up having kids with multiple women, including you?" Natsu once again asked her.

"Honestly, not really. Because I know you're not the kind of person who would put one over the other. I know you would do anything to make any of us happy." Hisui explained to the pink haired male, causing him to blush from her words.

"Oh, well, of course I would do anything to keep you all happy." Natsu managed to reply despite the blush on his face. Hisui couldn't help but giggle at his nervousness.

"I'm glad to hear that." Hisui told him, before she kissed his cheek, causing him to blush even more, if that was even possible.

"So… does this mean we're-?"

"Yup." Hisui told him, before giving him a quick hug, before she proceeded to head back to her room. "See you in the morning Natsu, love you." She casually told him as she entered her room, leaving a blushing Natsu.

The pink haired put his hand to where she kissed him, and couldn't help but smile happily, another of the girls he loves feels the same way. With a good mood, and a giant blush, he proceeded to head back to his own room as well to get some rest.

'ESLEWHERE'

"So let me get this right." Gildarts began to speak to the other three future children and Sayla. "Natsu, the kid I see as a son, is apparently the most powerful demon of our world, and Sayla right there is also a demon, and you all are part demon as well?" The crash mage finished as he looked at them. They were currently at a hotel that they managed to find for the night.

"That sums it about right, though I'm full demon due to me being the son of two demons and not just one." Azazel explained to the ace of Fairy Tail.

"…This doesn't bother me as much as I thought." Gildarts admitted. "But hey, being a demon doesn't make anyone automatically bad. Natsu is still Natsu, and you guys seem like good people as well."

"Calling me good is a bit of a stretch." Sayla replied as she was simply looking at a book that she had with her.

"So do we have any idea what our next plan is?" Arial asked her two brothers, her grandfather, and one of her mothers.

"I was thinking simply heading back to my guild." Gildarts told them. "That way, it will be easier to find the others." Gildarts explained, before continuing, "I can't wait to see my baby girl again!" Gildarts finished with a giant smile as he entered his room.

"Yeah, he's still the same, even in the past." Urial could only say as he went to his own room as well. "See you guys in the morning."

"Good night everyone." Arial told them all as she entered her own room as well.

"Mother, are you heading that way too?" Azazel asked Sayla, who simply looked at him.

"I will shortly." Sayla told him, who seemed content with that answer.

"Alright then, good night mom." Azazel replied as he entered his own room.

Sayla simply sighed as she went back to reading her book. All of this was still too much to process, so she figure reading would help calm her down.

Unknown to them and the town, something was heading their way. On the outskirts of town, you could see a giant mechanical demonic machine heading its way toward the unsuspecting town.

Alright then, there's that chapter. Looks like they just can't catch a break can they? Sorry if the whole thing between Natsu and Hisui was meh, I'm not good at that kind of stuff. Anyway, see you next time, whenever that will be.
