I'm not even gonna try and BS my way out of this one. I had an entire summer to do this but honestly I didn't really feel like it. Besides, I'm still interested but not as interested in the Fairy Tail Series compared to before but still enough to be encouraged to write this. Anywho, let's get straight into the chapter.

July 7th X784, Hargeon Train Station

Currently, Natsu and Happy was on a train that had just arrived at the Hargeon port. However, while nothing could seem to go wrong, Natsu was lying on the floor with a green face. At the train door, the conductor asked,

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Aye, this happens all the time." Happy replied to the conductor.

"I-I-I-I-I'm never g-geting on another tr-train again." Natsu muttered before resisting the urge to vomit again.

"You say that every time." Skyle said while facepalming. "We really need to work on that soon."

"You think I don't know that?"

"Your the one who has been constantly avoiding and making excuses not to."

"...Touche…"

"If our info is correct, then the salamander should be here." Happy said while walking off the train. "Now lets go Na-" he didn't finish his sentence as the train departed when he turned around.

"Oh… It already departed…" He then started to wave his hand while saying, "Bye Natsu."

Before he could walk away however, a black portal appeared next to him and Natsu fell out of it, landing face first into the ground.

"Woah, where did you come from?!"

"Whaat?" Natsu replied, still nauseous from the train ride.

"Your welcome"

~Line Break~

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, two blonde, busty, female figures were standing inside a magic shop in front of an old man.

"Ehh, there's only one magic shop in this one magic shop in this town?!" the younger of the two blondes shouted.

"Yes… This town is more prosperous in fishing than magic to begin with." the old man replied.

"That does make sense, less than 10% of this cities population can use magic so this store was made more for traveling mages than ones like us." the older blonde said.

"*sigh* I think we have wasted our time mother."

"Please don't say that ma'am, do look around as we have new items," he then took an object off the shelf. "Here, this colors magic is probably popular among girls like you. It changes the colors of your clothes depending on your mood."

"I already have it. What I'm looking for are gate keys. Strong ones preferably." she said before starting to walk around.

"Gate keys huh, those are rare." the old man said before the young blonde saw something in a glass case within the shop.

"AH, THIS IS THE WHITE DOGGY!" the girl shouted in joy

"Uh, ma'm, that key isn't really strong."

"That's fine, i've been looking everywhere for it. How much is it?"

"20,000 Jewels."

A moment of silence went by before the young blonde pulled down her shirt zipper a bit, exposing her large breasts even more.

"I'm sorry, what did you say the price was again?" she asked in a seductive like tone.

"Lucy…" the other blonde said with a disappointed tone.

~Line Break~

A few moments later

"GEEZ, HE ONLY GAVE ME A 1000 JEWEL DISCOUNT! IS MY SEX APEAL REALLY ONLY WORTH 100 JEWELS!" the blonde girl from earlier said.

"You shouldn't use your gender like that Lucy." the blonde women said.

"Yeah yeah, I know." the now dubbed Lucy replied.

As they continued to walk, they saw a few girls run past them, screaming in some form of joy.

"Huh, what's going on?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know." the blonde replied. Before she can say anything else however, a few dozen girls ran past yelling,

"A FAMOUS MAGE IS IN TOWN! IT'S THE SALAMANDER!"

"Salamander?" Lucy asked while starting to think before suddenly exclaiming, "OH! Its that famous mage that controls magic that you can't buy from stores."

"Lucy, I'm pretty sure that you can't buy any magic except holder type magic in stores." Layla (I give up with saying the other blonde) said while sighing.

"Ooh, he's popular. I wonder if he looks cool?" Lucy said while walking towards the crowd, ignoring what Layla had just said.

Layla simply sighed again as she followed her daughter into the crowd.

~Line Break~

Meanwhile, Natsu and Happy were slowly walking through the town.

"I can't believe that you were going to leave me to ride the train twice." Natsu said.

"Well, it's not my fault that you are so bad with transportation." Happy replied.

"...Hey Happy, they probably meant Igneel when they said Salamander right?"

"Yeah, I can't think of anyone else who has the name Salamander besides Igneel and you."

"Yeah, that's what I thought"

"Seven hundred Jewels say this Salamander is an imposter using your name." Skyle said.

"I'm not gonna take that deal" Natsu replied.

"And whys that."

"Because I don't think that this guy is an imposter… I know that he is an imposter."

"Great, glad your not becoming your idiotic persona"

"Gee, thanks for the encouragement. And besides, you know that i'm just acting."

"Just making sure."

"SALAMANDER!" an entire crowd of fangirls shouted in front of them.

"Speak of the devil."

"Hey Natsu, there's Igneel, lets go." Happy said cheerfully.

"Yeah, lets go."

On the other side of the crowd, Lucy had reached the crowd and saw Salamander.

"Wh-wh-what the, what is this feeling…" Lucy said as she slowly walked towards him.

Layla saw that Lucy was slowly and mentally said, 'Shit, that bastards using charm magic to lure this crowd and now he's affected Lucy.'

Before she could do anything however, Natsu broke through the crowd yelling, "IGNEEL!"

Once he broke through and was face to face however, there was a moment of silence before Natsu asked,

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

The man looked shocked before beginning to introduce himself. Before he finished however, Natsu already started walking away.

"Hey Skyle, can you break the charm ring that he's using"

"Sure, give me a sec."

A second later, a small spiked stone stalagmite rose from the floor and destroyed the ring. Immediately afterwards, the charm spell wore off on everyone in the crowd.

"Huh, what was I doing."

"What the!? Why am I here"

When Lucy regained her senses like everyone else, she immediately pointed at Salamander yelling, "That man was using charm magic on all of us! GET HIM!"

And with that, every girl that was in the crowd started punching and kicking Salamander.

"What was that?" Happy asked.

"I don't know." Natsu said while turning back, watching Salamander getting beat up by girls.

After a few moments, Lucy and Layla walked over to the two.

"Hi, thanks for helping us earlier." Lucy said with a kind smile on her face. "How about we buy you lunch as a thank you."

"Hmm, sure."

~Line Break~

A few moments later, the four of them was in a restaurant eating together. Layla and Lucy ordered a simple drink, Natsu ordered a Burger and Happy ordered a bunch of fish (and by a bunch of fish, I mean enough to use all the remaining money that the two blondes had left).

"Thanks again for earlier. My name is Lucy and this is my mother, Layla." Lucy said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Layla said with a kind smile.

"So you're Natsu and Happy correct? So that Salamander guy was using charm magic to lure girls in for some purpose but thanks to you, the effect wore off on me." Lucy explained.

"I see." Natsu said simply.

"We may not seem like much but my mother and I are mages. Though we aren't a part of any guilds. Oh, you don't know what a guild is do you?"

"Lucy, they never said they don't know what a guild is." Layla said while sweat dropping.

But ignoring her mother Lucy continued, "A guild is an association of mages that will mediate jobs and other information to mages. Mages won't be considered full-fledged until they join and work for a guild. There are many types of guilds but there is one that I want to join more than anything. Many great mages will join at that one."

Natsu just sat still listened patiently while eating his burger while Happy just continued to eat without a care in the world.

A few moments later, Lucy then said, "Ah sorry, you wouldn't understand a story from the world of mages would you."

"Lucy, they never said that." Layla sighed.

"Huh, oh right. Sorry. By the way, weren't you guys looking for someone?"

"Aye, his name is Igneel." Happy said, finishing his seventeenth fish.

"We heard a rumor about someone named Salamander coming to town, so we decided to check it out. And here I was hoping that it was Igneel" Natsu said.

"Aye, that guy looked nothing like Salamander."

"Hmm, how does a human look like a Salamander? Does he use transformation magic?" Layla asked.

"What? No. Igneel isn't human. He's a dragon."

With that, Lucy pulled away a bit in shock while Layla kept somewhat of a calm attitude.

"WHY WOULD A DRAGON APPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A POPULATED TOWN?!" Lucy screamed out.

Happy then had a shocked expression while Natsu made the same one but fake.

"Called it." Skyle said.

"Yeah, No shit Sherlock."

"Fuck you to Watson."

"DON'T TELL ME YOU ONLY JUST NOTICED!?" Lucy screamed again. After calming down, she continued, "Anyways, we should get going. Though feel free to take you time."

When the two blondes were about to leave, they heard a thump behind them. They turned around to see Natsu and Happy on the floor, saying thank you to her.

"Okay, this is a bit overkill with the acting." Skyle said.

"Let it roll." Natsu replied

"What, there's no need to thank me. Were even now aren't we?" Lucy said.

"Huh, yeah, I guess you're right." Natsu replied with his signature grin.

"Anyways, see you around."

"It was nice meeting you Mister Drag-" Layla started before time around her stopped. She looked shocked for a moment before seeing something from the corner of her eye. She looked over and saw a swirl of darkness and light behind Natsu. After a few seconds, the form splitted for a second and revealed a face she hasn't seen in seven whole years.

"Your-"

Before she can continue, he placed his right pinkie on his mouth, and mouthed to her,

"We'll talk later. Pretend you didn't see me for now."

And with that, time continued.

"Uhh, Mom? Are you alright? You seem like you've seen a ghost." Lucy asked.

A second passed before Layla replied,

"Huh, no. I'm fine. Let's go Lucy. Anyways, it was nice meeting you Mister Dragneel."

As the two blondes left the restaurant, Natsu was having a small conversation with Skyle.

"You did something to her didn't you." Natsu asked.

"Not entirely." Skyle replied.

"What did you do?"

"Just showing her my face a bit after not seeing me for seven years."

"Okay then… Were they related to Ms. Anna? They look really similar to her and have a similar scent."

"I'm not telling. At least not yet."

"And why not."

"All will be revealed in time. Today is not the day however."

"And there you go being cryptic again."

"Come on mate, let me have my fun at least."

"Whatever. It would be nice to meet her again someday."

"Which one. Anna or those two."

"Ms. Anna of course."

"She's a nice person. That's for sure. Anyways, let's go find a place to stay."

"Wait, why can't we just leave."

"Foresight showed me something interesting. You may want to stay for at least one night."

"...Sure I guess."

"Come on Happy, lets go."

"AYE!"

~Line Break~

(I'm just gonna skip the meeting Bora again scene and skip straight to Skyle and Layla's talking scene. It happens like normal except Layla decided not to go while Lucy still attended the party.)

Layla was standing at one of the railings, leaning forwards, looking at the Salamander's ship that was slowly sailing. She then heard footsteps behind her and turned around, to see a familiar face.

"Hello again Skyle. It's nice to see you after seven years." She said.

"Ditto… How've you been doing. No signs of tiredness hopefully."

"Nope, after you healed me, there have been no signs of tiredness from opening the gate."

"That's reassuring. Hows Anna?"

"I don't know, after a conversation that the two of us had after you left, I haven't seen her since."

"She's a strong person. I have no doubt that she'll be ok."

She giggled a bit before continuing. "So I'm going to guess that that boy was the one you said you were going to find after you left?"

"Write on the nail as well."

"He seems to have a lot of potential."

"Yup, even with where he is, he's still growing and becoming stronger by the day."

"Neither you nor Anna explained why you sent those five children from all those years ago to now."

"I can't talk about it. Besides, they won't be able to fulfill that purpose for at least another few years."

"That's interesting."

The two continued to talk for another few minutes before seeing a streak of fire in the air. When they both looked up, they saw a pink haired teen in it with a flying cat on his back.

"Looks like the battles finally going to start. This is going to be interesting." Skyle said.

"I agree."

"..."

"...I'll go prepare the time magic for when he destroys the town. I'll see you soon"

And with that, he teleported away in a swirl of black and white clouds.

Layla sighed while staying there for a few extra moments. A dozen explosions, a giant tsunami, and half a town destroyed later, she saw Lucy and Natsu running towards her. (Yeah, the battle is the exact same as how it did during the canon timeline).

"HEY MOM! Turns out Natsu was a Fairy Tail wizard and he agreed to take me back there. Isn't this great!" Lucy yelled out cheerfully.

"Hmm. Yeah, this does seem great." Layla replied to her daughter.

"Come on, let's go before the council catches up with us again." Natsu shouted as he started to run.

With that, Lucy started to run with while Layla smiled and slowly walked after them. When she looked behind her though, the area that was completely destroyed was put back together like nothing had happened.

"Your skills never fail to amaze me Skyle… Hope to see you again soon." She said that before leaving completely.

Meanwhile, Skyle was simply sitting on top of a rooftop observing the trio in his disguised form but without the mask (Disguised form is just him when people see him as Lucifer).

"The journey has finally began… This will be interesting… But whatever happens, I'll continue to work with you Natsu… That is a promise that I will not break." and with that, he put on his mask and left.

~Line Break~

Again, I'm not going to try and BS my way out of not uploading in forever. So really, don't expect frequent updates. But I did make a few slight changes. Skyle's last name is now officially Nightfall while Lucifer's one became Daybreak. Also, I changed Sting's Companion's gender into a female. Also, can people tell me if I should make it so I write everything that happens in the Manga or only things that are changed (Aka. Slayer and Companion changed scenes, Layla scenes, Etc etc). It would be nice if you all also explain how the fuck Sorano/Angel's magic works (the angel one, not celestial spirits). If I still don't understand, I'll give her my own magic. Yeah that's about it. See yall next time.

(P.S. Does anyone else notice how fucking wierd Happy looks in the first chapter of FT?)
