2 Minutes after the events In Irene's office
"Uhh, god my head kills," Natsu was currently walking down the hall towards where the F-class classroom is for spell casting.
Arriving at the classroom he slides the door open to a surprisingly full class, all sat down chatting to one another, a large crowd of girls around Ria's desk and boys at Braun's desk
"So how did you do it?" "Is Natsu really powerful enough to fight a celestial spirit!"
Braun looked overwhelmed and Ria…well Ria looked like a nervous wreck
"AHEM!" Natsu coughed loudly into his hand to get their attention, which it did, the class went wide-eyed, and it was as if they teleported back to their seat in an instant, all were sat down looking towards Natsu
"Good afternoon Sir!" the class shouted…and Natsu visibly gagged, to which got a lot of the class to look to the front confused
"Okay no Sir or anything just call me Natsu like you usually do," he said standing at the front of the class his hands behind his back, looking over the wide variety of faces in the class.
"I've talked to a staff member about what happened, and they have allowed me to teach you magic," Natsu said lighting his hand aflame, a wide grin sat upon his face, he wouldn't admit but he liked being in charge
A massive chorus of cheers erupted throughout the classroom, so loud that Natsu thought he would go deaf, it calmed down and Natsu spoke again
"So let's get to work, first the books that are in your desk's pull them out for me" he said picking up his own one, well the teacher's version, the one he had burnt on the first day while shutting Leo up during the test
"Pick it up and stand up and follow my action," he said, a sound of excitement emanated from a few students
Natsu walked towards the door students leaning over their desks in excitement, as he…opened the bin and through it in…"HUH!" a loud shout from all the students even Ria and Braun were surprised by how quickly he had made them throw them away, even though Natsu had used their books for a small fire while they were training and said it was an 'accident'.
"So now follow my actions," he said putting his arms across his chest, walking towards his desk and sitting down
The whole class looked at one another, then at Natsu and then at the book, after a good 15 seconds, one person stood up and walked towards the bin and threw it in, after that the flood gates opened, everyone in the class stood up one by one all throwing their books in the bin.
After everyone was done Natsu stood up and walked towards the middle of the front again, he waited for a few seconds before speaking
"Why did you all do what I asked you too?" he asked, his eyes closed but his stance firm almost demanding an answer, the whole class looked at one another confused so Natsu spoke up again
"You there," he said pointing at the boy who had stood up first "why did you throw your book away, when I asked, for all you know I could have just jeopardized your whole year?" he again almost demanded
"W-well you-you're the tea-teacher so I did wh-what you ask-asked," he stuttered out, but Natsu wasn't having any of it
"What was the real reason?" he again asked, the student saw he was getting nowhere and stood up pushing his chair back and steeling himself
"Because I saw what Braun and Ria did and I'm sick of being weak and-and I wanna be able to fight and do magic!" he said closing his eyes and shouting it out, his body bending almost like he was bowing to Natsu
Natsu looked at the boy who had just blurted out his reasoning and smiled
"Good it would be weird if you threw it away for no good reason," he said as the boy looked up wide eyes before after a few seconds nodding his head furiously "I assume all of you did what I asked for the same reason or along the same lines…am I not correct," the whole class nodded in his direction
"You have a reason to get stronger, you want to be powerful so you can protect yourselves, well I'm going to make sure you can do that…I'll make sure that F-Class is not a mere joke but a group to fear, and call me crazy but after I'm done with you over these next 5 weeks, we're gonna have a shot at not just knocking out a few D-class…no were going to WIN THE CLASS BATTLES!"
His speech seemed to have motivated the entire class into a chorus `of shouts and cheers, all excited about what he had said, Natsu had just gained the wholes classes trust In a few words
"Now who's ready for some training!" he shouted walking out the door followed by the entire class…except for two very pale and scared-looking C tier mages
"T-t-t-training?"
.
.
3 weeks later
"Natsu, do you have to make training hell, I feel like every single bone in my body is about to snap, then brake then fall out my body onto the floor in one big pile," a very tired Braun said lying down his head resting against the stump of a tree
"Yeah N-Natsu it was a bit...well actually n-no this was quite normal," Ria admitted sweat dropping
It was currently a Sunday evening and Natsu Ria and Braun had just finished training, they were sat overlooking a large lake, the sun setting over the horizon, Natsu was sat his legs dangling over the cliff as Ria and Braun were sat closer together a bit behind him
"You guys need to toughen up, class battles are in a week and 4 days, they won't be as forgiving as I am to you guys and the class," he says looking over the lake
Ria and Braun look at each other then look back at the training field where craters and smouldering bits of grass remain
"Yeah… 'forgiving'," they say in a sarcastic tone, to which Natsu turns his head and glares and them, too which they begin giggling and laughing
"Mavis you guys are a pain," he said under his breath before smiling softly 'its good to talk to have people to talk to again'
"So speaking of the class battles have you guys got people watching at home?" Braun said looking at Ria, therefore not seeing Natsu stiffen to a plank at the question
"Yea-eh I got my mom and d-dad and two si-sister watching, my mo-mom always loved me so she'll be cheering me on, but my d-dad preferred cheering my sis-sters and he a-also want-wanted m-me to-to be powerful be-because I was bor-born in the same v-village as Gr-Grey Fulbuster…we- we were friends on-once but…anyway my si-sisiter she's a lot more po-powerful then me," she said, her voice wavering from happiness to sadness, until her head perked up smiling "Bu-but now I can have my d-dad watch me and be proud of m-me" she said looking at her fists still smiling a lone tear making its way down her face
'She was born in the same place as Grey…that's mean in my world she…probably was killed by Deloria…, I wonder what went on between the two of them' he wondered to himself
"H-hey, don't cry…your really powerful you know, you could probably beat your sister in a fight yeah you could batter her," he said cheerfully…until he realised what he had said "Wh-wait I don't mean that your like bad and beat up kids or anything like that your really nice and kind" he recovered just about
"he-he thanks Braun," she said punching him on the shoulder, wiping her tear's "wh-what about you?" she asked Braun
"Me?" he asked looking around, before looking back and sighing "look my parents said that they would happily watch me fall on my arse and fail when they watch the Class battles, they…they aren't bad, but there still…dicks sometimes, but what I do know is that they love me, in their own weird way," he said his hands going in every direction explaining it
"Don't wo-worry Braun, you'll prove them wrong just li-like I will," she said putting her thumbs up and smiling at him
Even though he looked away you could tell he was blushing
The sun had was now halfway over the horizon the sunset was coming to an end and it was getting dark
'Time to head back' Natsu thought to himself, but before he could get up Ria had spoken up
"Wh-what about you Natsu?" she asked innocently…
And Natsu froze, he hadn't planned on being asked about family, he had to think of something
"Eh-eh err, well…ah-ah," he couldn't think of anything, his mind was blank
"Natsu?" this time Braun spoke up his voice worried
Natsu sighed and spoke up, still facing the setting sun
"Nah, no one will be watching me compete," he spoke low and quiet
"Wha-what like no parents or an-anything?" Ria again prodded, not on purpose
"Well, never knew em to be honest, well I think I did, but those memories are long gone" he said not facing them, his eyes set on the setting sun
"Wh-what oh I'm sorry, that must be horrible," Ria blurted out apologizing
"He-he Nah your alright I've not got any memories to be sad about them off…although I can see them sometimes, my mother looked like an angel…an-and my dad he looked like a strong warrior…but sometimes I see them and sometimes my mind goes blank," Natsu said not noticing the tear stroll down his face
"Didn't you have any brothers or sisters?" Braun this time spoke, his voice wavering on worry
"Zeref," he says almost on instinct "He was the smartest person I've ever met, he could do anything he put his mind to, he was a genius, one of the smartest kids ever, I don't really remember him when I was a kid, but he-he loved me so much, he would do anything for me…if he could of he-he would of went back in time just to spen-spend more time with me," silent tears poured down his face, they didn't know that yet though, his head was still the opposite direction to them.
"Well isn't he going to watch you?" Braun spoke up a couple tears in his own eyes
"Nah…he…he passed on a f-few years ago," Natsu said looking at his tear covered fist's
"Oh," they both say
"I did however meet an old man, he was called Igneel… Mavis was he amazing, the strongest wizard ive ever met, he could do anything, he was the one who trained me and taught me magic, he was the one who made me who I am today," happy memories flashing through his head of better times, it was like that time with Erza in Crocus they all pushed to the top, but this time he didn't make any attempt to stop them, although he didn't alter it a bit obviously he couldn't tell them Igneel was a dragon.
The sun finally set, and darkness enveloped the valley and as the darkness set, so did the bad memories, his death flashed in front of Natsu's eyes, again and again, forcing him to remember
"But he was killed…," Natsu could tell they were shocked by their movements behind him, two sets of footsteps slowly walked towards him…' and raindrops?'
"Na-Natsu, ar-are you ok-okay?" Ria spoke tears pouring out of her eyes, Natsu turned around to face her and was surprised as she slowly wrapped her arms around his body
"Yea-Yeah Nats-Natsu, Yo-you can te-tell me-me about anything," Braun spoke up this time, like Ria, tears pouring out of his eyes he offered his support as well
Natsu was mildly shocked he had expected them to awkwardly say 'I'm sorry' and walk away not give him a group hug.
…So he chuckled to himself, he ignored the strange look that Ria and Braun gave him and stood up, them both doing the same
"He-he don't you worry guys I've had a very long time to get over all this stuff, I'm content and stable don't you guys worry," he said smiling while flicking away a tear coming down Ria's face "So why don't you two start heading back, I'm gonna sit here for a bit I'll see you guys for class tomorrow okay?" he says turning around facing the water once again
"You sure Na-Natsu?" Ria asked just to make sure
He turned his head and gave them both his famous smile
"Yeah, I'm sure"
And with that Ria and Braun headed back to the dorms, leaving Natsu sat upon a hill overlooking the lake
"And of course there was always Fairy Tail"
.
.
With Ria and Braun (Ria POV)
I and Braun walk for about 30 minutes in silence, digesting what had just happened 'how can he say he's okay, Natsu is just one big mystery, after all that he can say he's okay, I still feel like that's just the tip of the iceberg about him though, I wonder whe-' I was pulled out my thoughts by Braun
"Hey what do you think of Natsu?" he asked looking off in a random direction, I looked up at him and before answering I thought for a few seconds
"I think h-he's amazing… but he is one massive en-enigma," damn I hate this stutter
Braun looked down at me and smiled, 'huh why do I feel hot, oh it's gone never mind'
"I admire him, because of him I'm more powerful than I could of possibly though I would ever be, because of him I look like this as well!" he said gesturing at his height and weight
'Yeah, true he was fat and short when we first met, know he's a bit taller but thinner than he was by quite a lot' I say 'I feel hot again, huh, why does Braun look…good?'
"y-yeah true, he do-does wo-work u-us hard" before I can follow up, I hear a loud rustle and assuming by him standing in front of me, he heard it too
"What was that," he says looking around, I try to sense for magic signatures but can't find any
"I-I can-can't sense anything," I say, to which he nods and walks towards the bush
He stands there for a few seconds before he's pulled into the bush by something
"BRAUN" I shout, I activate my magic and again try sense for magic, but I only see Braun's and he looks to be wrestling something
"GOT IT!" he shouts, he jumps back out the bush with what looked to be a…
"Yo-you scared the life ou-out of me ju-just to ge-get a squirrel!" I shout at him, but the only reaction I see is his eyes fly open wide and him outstretch his arm
"RIA BEHIND YOU!" what beh-n..d m…e
I feel my consciousness slipping away as a rag is placed over my mouth, just before my eyes close, I see a Braun get hit in the back of the head
"b..r..a..u..n" and I slip into unconsciousness.
.
.
The next morning Natsu POV
I walk out to the outside area of the dorm where Ria and Braun are waiting for me
"Right common you two let's get going, we've got what…err magic theory…great, this is gonna drag on" Why aren't they replying "hey you two…right not fun-" I turn around to find them not following behind me like they normally do every day
"Huh strange, maybe I did scare them off last night" great scaring of people is what I'm good at that was my thought until I remembered last night 'Nah they won't have run off' so I decided to walk to class alone today.
.
As I get in class, I notice them both still not here, so I sit down and put my head on the desk and wait for them to arrive assuming they both slept in late
10 minutes into the lesson there not here,
'Okay I hate to smell you guys out but Ria being late is worrying me slightly
…
…
…
I can't smell them on campus!'
I expand my range and keep sniffing
"Crocus?"
I get up and say I have some important matters to attend to, not waiting for the teacher to reply I walk out of the classroom and move myself to the toilet and promptly teleport to Crocus 'Nothing could have gone wrong right?' I think to myself
As I arrive in Crocus I'm immediately on their scent, I follow it through streets of people, following it too a district full of abandoned buildings and warehouses
"Why are they in this run-down dump…and why can I hear screaming?"
.
.
In the same district
"UGHHHHH" a loud grunt can be heard echoing in an empty warehouse
"BRAUN, STOP PLEASE LIKE I SAID WERE SORRY FOR BEATING HIM, JUST STOP HURTING HIM" A girl screams at the top of her lungs through tears.
Ria and Braun were currently being tortured
"You F-class-trash screaming like babies, it's just a poker, nothing harmful, well except for the burning part AHAHAHAH" a man cackles, the red-hot poker being waved around in the air
A group of about 70-80 men all surrounded a pair of chairs with a man walking in between the pair
"That guy paid a lot of money to make sure that his embarrassment of a son would get revenge for getting beaten up in those mock battles a few weeks ago ehe" he giggled, "So he hired the best gang in town to deal with you, make sure you die slowly if you know what I mean, he picked the best gang for the job…THE EISENWALD GANG," the white-haired man cackled
Braun instantly recognised the name and who the white-haired man was, he had seen him on wanted posters… Erigor the reaper of the wind an S-class threat.
"Shit-shit-shit, h-hey don't hurt her anymore, let her go, yo-you can do any-anything you want with me" he said coughing up blood after he finished
"Br-Braun what are you saying?" Ria spoke up herself no to good her ribs bruised and a backwash of blood in her mouth, she was sure Braun was on death's door though.
"These guys don't mess about Ria, just please let them only have me," he pleaded
"B-Braun," she said tears she didn't even know she had coming from her eyes.
"HAHAHAHAHAH" Erigor cackled "sorry to break up the lovey Dovey stuff but…why would I let either of you go, I get paid by the head, so I'm afraid you're both dying, although little girly here is going to be used for…other purposes for a while, I hope he doesn't want to mount both your heads…oh well" he got up brandishing a sword from his sheathe and putting it against Braun's throat drawing blood immediately
"So I say we start slow like a hacksaw cutting wood he-he" he says about to begin sawing his head off
…
*SHLINK*
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
The sword hits the floor bouncing a couple of times before settling, next to it Erigor's arm and next to Erigor's arm a throwing knife in shape of a circle
"Heh?" he says looking at his now stump of an arm that is squirting out blood
"AHHHHHHH" he screams clutching it, the men who were watching left speechless as all they saw was his arm magically fall off
Just then the door to the warehouse is blown off as alone figure with a blade in his hand walks towards the large group of men
"H-hey who you think you are this is Eisenwald territory!" the large burly man speaks his confusion as to why his bosses arm is gone.
"What a terrible name," the figure says before flying forward at speeds the man couldn't comprehend
'Hey why is everything upside down'
The body fell to the floor the head next to it, the figure who had come into the light had pink hair and looked very pissed off
"1" he says to himself even though he could be heard
"Woah this guy just killed Sam!" "Stay on guard this kid ain't a joke,"
"NATSU" Ria shouts her worries all disappearing in a milliseconds she hadn't seen him kill the man too busy worrying over Braun who had fallen unconscious
Natsu hearing her voice sped towards her and Braun pushing Erigor over as he stumbled and ran towards his goons
"Wo-woah you're fast!" she says in disbelief, he gives her a very confused look
"How do you think I rescued you from Leo?" he asked baffled
"Uhh lu-luck?" she says tilting her head
"Anyway I need to get you out of here" as he says that there already outside
"Ho-how did we get out?" she says dumfounded
"I'm fast," he said smiling at her, he sneakily flowed healing magic so that her cuts would heal, and she could run and walk and while also doing the same for Braun, his eyes slowly opening
"W-where am I?" he asked, sitting up "Nat-Natsu!" he tackled him into a hug "Thank god I thought we were dead" he says tears springing from his eyes
Natsu looks at Ria to see she has also begun to cry, he pulls her into a hug as well
"As long as I'm alive, I promise not another hair on your heads will be hurt" after a good 20 seconds of hugging Natsu stands up
"You two need to a hospital, there's one in the town centre head there, I'll meet you when I'm done here," he says turning around ready to go back to the warehouse, until his arm is grabbed by both
"Wh-what do you mean done here?" they both say looking up expectantly
"I'm going to deal with the 'Eisenwald gang'," Natsu says as if it were obvious
"Heh" they both go wide-eyed "DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!" they both shout
"…hmmm" he puts his finger to his chin and thinks for a few seconds
"No…ac-" he's about to speak again when Ria shouts at him "NATSU, you're not going bac-back I-n there," she says tears of worry spilling
"Look Ria you asked me to show you how powerful I really am, I'll show you, see you guys in a bit," he says leaving the two confused students wide-eyed
"He's going to die"
.
The warehouse (Fight scene yay)
"What the hell was that boss" a grunt says
"Not a clue one second I'm about to cut into that kids Adam's apple next thing I know my arms gone and Sam's dead,grrrr, just wrap the last of the bandage I'll get a prosthetic of something" Erigor says standing up and walking to his sword
He's about to sheathe it until he hears a set of footsteps, the whole group of 70 or so turns to the door that was blown off its hinges to see the figure walk into the warehouse again, his katana again in hand
One of the thugs at the front cockily walks forwards
"So your back, this time you won't be lea-," a flash of pink is all the man sees next to him before his world fades to black
"2" the body falls to the ground, his whole body cleaved in two
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, WHO ARE YOU" Erigor shouted from the back of the group
"Me?" the figure spoke
"Your worst nightmare" the figure flashed forward again running towards the group
"ATTACK HIM THEN!" Erigor screamed
"WATER MAGIC: SPLASHING TIDES"
"STONE MAGIC: ROCK BOTTOM"
"ENERGY MANIPULATION: BOLT"
A chorus of magic spells flew at the figure he unsheathed his sword, and a blistering heat surrounded the room
He stopped running and allowed the spells to come flying at him, he raised the sword and somersaulted into the air slicing the water attack into steam
"He just cut my magic in half!"
Next the boulder that was flying at him was cut straight down the middle each half destroying the already destroyed door
"WH-WHAT?"
He held his blade straight and allowed the bolt of energy to surround the blade before redirecting it towards the group
*BOOM*
"5" body parts flew everywhere after the resulting explosion, he stopped walking and looked around at the large group of enemies that had surrounded him, 'this will take too long'
"What a pain"
"Dimension magic: Sunpō Tenkai" The world around the 70 men changed dramatically they were brought into what looked like an infinite black void stretching on forever
"Wh-whats going on?" one asked shakily "where are we!"
"You are in my dimension," the figure appeared out of nowhere and spoke in a demonic tone
"Here I am the one and only god," most of the men had resulted to curling up into balls
"Now Die," he slashed his sword down
"The Endless Night Of The Universe, 10,000 Collapsing Star Sword Slash"
*BOOOOM*
Everyone who had been in the dimension vanished their bodies turning to dust, nothing remained.
As the dimension became undone the figure returned to the warehouse… with 70 fewer bodies
"75" he said sheathing his sword "one more left"
He began walking towards the back of the room where a curled up Erigor was lay
Erigor had just about been out of range and had watched everyone disappear and conducted a plan to try and survive, he was in the middle of planning when he heard footsteps
"Your turn," he heard something speak
"N-no ple-please I'm sor-sorry" he pleaded getting onto his hands and knees 'Ill get him to forgive me and stab him in the back' he thought evilly
"Okay you may live" the figure again spoke turning around and beginning to walk away, Erigor unsheathed a hidden blade and jumped at him
"He-he IDIO-"
*SLASH*
Erigor spat up blood as he grabbed the sword blade with his one hand, a sword was currently through his chest from behind
"Wh-what," he said as blood pooled up in his mouth
"Checkmate" The figure spoke pulling the sword out of Erigor without touching it and cleaning it by swinging the blade with his mind and spreading his blood everywhere, the sword then hovered next to the figure pointing right at Erigor
"A-at lea-least t-tell m-me the n-name of the guy w-who kill-killed m-me" he said falling to the floor his blood pooling around him
The figure waited for a second before speaking
"Natsu Dragneel" Natsu spoke
"F-fuck y-you Nat-Natsu," his breath shallowing until it was no more, and with that Erigor had died
.

Okay so yay action
I tried using the grammar suggestions Idk if I did it right but I tried
And yes, the dimension spell is basically a carbon copy of Domain expansion from Jujutsu Kaisen
Was it cool though...yes
