After the Battle everyone was back talking and making up.

"Man I heard witnesses and some saw at a distance Natsu and Laxus battle, some were even sure they saw a image of a Dragon" Macao spoke.

"Well the kid does have the strength of his father" Wakaba smirked.

"I doubt he even used half of his full strength" Gray snorted, the Thunder Legion was in with Makarov.

"You have done a great amount of Trouble earlier" Makarov frowned.

"Yes sir" Freed replied.

"however you were following orders" Makarov continued.

"To be honest I even told Laxus not to activate The Thunder Palace I'm just sorry I lacked the courage to stop Laxus" Freed apologized.

"there was nothing you could do brat, Laxus would've taken you out to" Makarov waved it off.

"I won't expel any of you for this since you were being forced into this" Makarov assured but frowned sternly "However this won't be unpunished since you had a hand in this, so punishment is to clean and fix the town from the battle" he informed them.

"Of course Master" Freed bowed.

"I suggest you get to work, since Natsu is cleaning up the mess so you three take his place, it's your turn to clean up" Makarov smirked slyly.

"We'll get started right away" Freed replied.


With Natsu he was cleaning up all the destruction from the battle from the Guild, half of the clean up was down when he heard the Thunder Legion coming

"guys I'm not in the mood to deal with you" Natsu glowered as he turned to them "So keep your beak's shut" he said sternly a bit angrily.

"We just wanted to say sorry for our crimes today" Freed bowed.

"Save it and apologize to them not me, I don't need halfhearted apologizes" Natsu stated with a stone gaze and piercing glare.

"We really are sorry, were here to clean up and relieve you" Freed stated.

"should've said that first and get right to the point" Natsu stated then left back to the Guild not looking back.

"sigh at least he didn't roast us" Bickslow chuckled lightly.


Natsu returned to the Guild

"Oh ho ho there he is" Cana stated slightly drunk.

"Afternoon" Natsu replied.

just then a heavily bandaged Laxus limped in with a cast on his whole right leg and around his jaw tightly, he had a cast on his wrist on his right hand and upper arm of his left had a cast up to his shoulder and supported himself with a crutch on his left hand, grimacing with each step.

"What are you doing here?" Jet and some angry member stated yelling at Laxus with bad terms like, 'Coward', 'traitor' then A massive wave of heat and pressure made almost everyone full on the floor at the suffocating magic pressure and heat wave, they looked it was coming from Natsu he lifted the pressure and heat up a bit and walked forward the last 10 steps made the floor blacking and melt slightly, he stood in front of Laxus.

"I didn't come to fight as you can see I can't at them moment" Laxus spoke with gesture.

"Why are you here and get to the point" Natsu stated with grim gaze and with serious undertone saying 'explain or else'

"I'm here to see Makarov" Laxus stated, Natsu glared at him with hard as stone glance and devoid-ed of kindness for Lightning Dragon he exhaled heavily "His in the Infirmary go see him" he stated in a low growly tone.

"Thanks Natsu" Laxus spoke patting him on the shoulder briefly making the muscle in the shoulder to tense and his glare intensified but didn't do anything.

"Yeah well don't thank me, I'm respecting Gramp's request" Natsu stated "Now go see him before I throw you to him" he snapped with his eye's to Laxus shock his sclera turned black and his eyes turned into a crimson iris's with a dark red surrounding the outside with bright yellow rim between the dark red and Crimson and a red-orange slit in the middle, then turned away from him but one eye locked on Laxus the whole iris but with both eyes turned into a whitish reddish fire with a scarlet glow around the edges and his sclera turned into a deep Crimson color as it narrowed then the eyes turned back to normal.


Laxus walked into the infirmary with Makarov's back to him.

"Geezer" Laxus spoke, The Master turned with a expression of pure disappointment.

"Do you understand the grave weight of your actions caused the past hours" Makarov stated in a firm tone "and look at me when I'm talking to you, you owe me that atleast" he frowned seeing Laxus looking down to the side.

"You tried to separate the Guild and divide it do you even understand what you tried to do?" Makarov questioned "you didn't try to build you tried to break Fairy Tail" he said.

"I thought I could make it stronger then it could protect itself, and try to find who are strong and the weak links so they could help each other" Laxus spoke.

"No you just wanted Fairy tail" Makarov responded "you wanted to prove you were the strongest in the Guild, but your not theres people who are above you and you fought one of them" he said.

"yeah be honest did I even stand a chance against Natsu?" Laxus asked.

"Let me just tell you even my magical strength in your veins" Makarov stated "You never had a chance against him he just proved to you True Dragon Slayer Magic from a actually Dragon is more powerful than what a Dragon Lacrima can provide, you definitely didn't grasp that Natsu father and teacher was the Fire Dragon King Ingeel" he stated.

"and your not the only Dragon Slayer with a Lacrima he faced" he continued "The 1st wizard saint God Serena had 8 Dragon Slayer Lacrima and he was taking down, at first I thought Natsu would have trouble but God Serena was quickly overwhelmed" Makarov explained.

"Not only Natsu could be the strongest in the whole Guild but in all of Ishgar" Laxus said.

"I don't know he still hasn't reached his fullest potential, maybe he did and keeps it under-wraps" Makarov shrugged "But what ever his father, Uncle, and Grandfather did to Natsu, they did it a little too well" he smirked.

"so if God Serena had 8 and I only have one" Laxus pondered "Natsu could have killed me with ease?" he said shocked.

"Honestly Natsu could have killed you both with ease even 2 on 1" Makarov claimed "infact Natsu had a look on his face when he learned God Serena had stolen the lacrima's, that he was ready to kill Serena right there and then" he said.

"What do you think makes him react like that, he goes from serious to murderous when it comes to Dragon Lacrimas?" Laxus asked.

"Because he's more than a Fire Dragon Slayer, he's the Prince of All Fire Dragons and going to probably going to be the next Fire Dragon King" Makarov stated "but frank I don't know much about them, other then Dragon Kings have worked they'er whole lives getting stronger to become King" he said.

Natsu doesn't care about titles he cares about using his strength to protect" Laxus informed.

"I know thats why I think he could be a great Dragon King because he would protect Ishgar and make sure everyone can go home to someone they love" Makarov said.

"Would you ever consider Natsu to be The Guild Master?" Laxus asked.

"I thought of it but he'd probably say no, besides he already has a different role on his path" Makarov stated "so is that all?" he questioned.

"seems Natsu is the one who can keep Fairy Tail together" Laxus smirked.

"Without a doubt yes, he's levelheaded under crises like with your stunt with Fairy Tail, he was the only one keeping collected which I say his blood was probably boiling and heart-rate was beating fast" Makarov stated "which I say I didn't think a Fire Dragon could be so calm, I thought he would explode like a volcano" he chuckled.

"he did that when facing me, luckily he kept some of it to himself" Laxus said "Because he said something 'you have abused your dragon slayer magic putting Innocent at risk' 'Hurt and harmed others with your magic without a good reason' 'it's my responsibility to obliterate traitors to Dragon Kind' " he explained.

"Well then it is a miracle he didn't kill you, since he's dead serious about matters like that" Makarov replied "anything else?" he pondered.

"No like you said I tried to harm Fairy Tail and I'm here to except the consequences" Laxus stated.

"Very well Laxus Dryer for your crimes against the Guild, I Makarov Master of Fairy Tail expel you from this Guild" Makarov stated turning away from Laxus.

"I understand" Laxus nodded, then turned away "thanks for everything Grandfather" he smirked.

"Just go" Makarov ordered with tears starting to Form in his eyes.


Hours Later it was dark and the Fantasia Parade went on and ended

In the Guild's Office, Gajeel, Mira, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Erza, Seilah, Levy, and Makarov were in his office around the whole room after The parade Levy has asked about what Gajeel had said earlier and informed the most trustful in the Guild who wouldn't gossip or blab.

"Okay first put a barrier around this room, because this is sensitive info" Gajeel said firmly, Makarov nodded a cast a force-field around the room to silence it.

"okay know what was the question earlier?" Gajeel asked.

"Why would Natsu kill Laxus?" Levy asked.

"Why would Natsu of all people want to kill?" Lucy asked.

"and why Laxus?" Gray spoke "Yes Laxus can be a thorn in the side but why would Natsu kill him for that?" he said.

"You need to understand the path that Salamander excepted, The Prince of All Fire Dragon's isn't just a title he's the Fire Dragon King's son and it's his sworn duty to uphold the responsibilities of the Fire Dragon Prince" Gajeel started.

"Many of those are crimes done to Dragon Kind: 1; casting a shade on the Dragons robbing they'er Grace and nobility like using their magic to harm, 2; killing and stealing they'er Magic just for power, 3; doing something that insults their reputation" "4; attacking the defenseless who can't protect themselves without a good reason and just doing it for fun" The Iron Dragon Slayer spoke.

"Lets just say Lightninglad did all 4" Gajeel frowned "And it's a Princes and a Kings job to annihilate the traitors and evil" he said.

"So with the incident with Fukuro" Erza spoke.

"Salamander must've sensed evil intent from him, and probably to defend someone" Gajeel shrugged.

"Was your Dragon Metalicana a King?" Levy asked.

"no he was not" Gajeel shook his head "Don't get me wrong I'd clobber someone who was tarnishing a Dragon's nobility and attacking harmless victims but I wouldn't kill em" he said.

"Salamander on the other hand has no choice but to fulfill the jobs" Gajeel went on.

"Then why didn't he kill Laxus, even Laxus saw and felt the killing intent in Natsu's eyes" Makarov asked.

"would you have wanted Salamander to kill Him?" Gajeel questioned.

"Well no, Laxus maybe a huge Pain in the Butt but wouldn't want him to kill Laxus" Makarov answered.

"Well there you go, he's your Grandson and he has a lot of Respect for you and he doesn't want you not have actually family member in the ground" Gajeel spoke "although if it was some other Dragon Slayer abusing his power, then no doubt he would be still be alive" he said.

"You think what Salamander walked into maybe all fun, I admit it it's a great honor to be the Son of a King and to take on their roles" Gajeel continued "But it is a heavy burden to carry" he said.

"And that is the price he paid to become the Fire Dragon Prince" Gajeel explained "and the megaton weight Salamander carries on his shoulders" he finished, Seilah, Erza and Mirajane looked at each other with concern thinking of the Burden their Lover carries.

"I just hope he doesn't become like what Igneel use to be like, Salamander's a good man and don't want him to fall like that" Gajeel admitted that got the three girls and Levy's attention.

"what do you mean of how Igneel use to be?" Levy asked.

Gajeel sighed "and that also is another burden, I once asked Metalicana 'was Igneel always gentle and strong but brave?'" "Metalicana would say 'not even close, Igneel was strong and brave was strong enough to become King but he lacked the heart to care about humans and didn't have any mercy or compassion to an enemy' so to put it shortly Igneel wasn't always kind or caring" he spoke.

"But it wasn't really his fault you see when a Prince becomes king and the full responsibility is placed upon them and with no love or friends it will will change them" Gajeel said "Taking upon a King's lifestyle with only hard matters and no light, Hardens the Heart" he told them.

"But Metalicana would say this Igneel wasn't always hardened, he was kind and social but when became King he changed like the rest before him, and Metalicana said but would deny it "stumbling upon Salamander was the best thing to happen to him because he made Igneel happy again" he smirked.

"So what your saying is Natsu could become like Igneel?" Gray sighed.

"I believe he wouldn't, I'm just saying the burden and curse Salamander is now carrying, The Burdens of Princes and Kings" Gajeel informed "besides he has them to keep him in the light" he smirked looking at Erza, Mirajane and Seilah making them blush.

"so this role is crucial for you three keep him grounded in the light, that is the job of their mates is your love to keep them from sinking" Gajeel said firmly.

The three put on determined glares and nodded "We will" the three stated, but what the group didn't know someone was listening by a certain Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu had just moved from the roof he was sitting on the Guild listening to their conversation, even with the bubble around the room his ears could still hear them.

"hmm interesting" Natsu spoke before taking off, he headed to his house had been taking down and rebuilt larger and roomier two story house, he thought of it of a good idea to remodel it a bit.

"I'm going to do my meditative exercises" Natsu said.
