HI

Back with a new chapter

Changing a bit in my way of making flashback for this chapter due to a review I got.

"Speaking"

""Thinking in mind""

On with the story

A two days later

Fairy Tail

Everyone was having their usual routine as they were chatting and drinking like usual.

The front door was opened and came in Natsu and Gray

"So, where to go next?" Gray asked Natsu who was holding the map, Yajima gave him.

"three more spots" Natsu replied.

Ever since Natsu came back from the council and got his punishment for breaking a rule given to a Wizard Saint, he's been spending time with the rest of Fairy Tail as they were helping out with his search for Ultear.

"but for now, let's take a short break" Natsu said as he sat down by a seat at the bar.

"mind letting me take a look at the map?" Gray asked Natsu as he sat down beside him.

"Here" Natsu replied as he slides the map to him.

Natsu and Gray have grown a friendly bond as both shared their stories of Ultear and her mother and came into an alliance to find her.

"looks like two out of three locations are way too far for us to reach" Gray said while pointing to two spots that was showing the locations of a near mountain range and an island.

"we can check them out on a later date" Natsu said to him.

Lisanna came by and gave the two of them a mug of beer.

"Let's just focus on some clues we found in the last few areas we've checked" Natsu takes back the map and folds it, and puts it back into his pocket.

"you sure?" Gray replied to him.

"yeah" Natsu replied and started to pull out some paper of info they've collected in the last three areas they've checked.

Lucy and Erza who were sitting by the table near the bar heard their conversations.

"So, Natsu and Gray teamed up to find Ultear?" Lucy said while looking at the two.

"do you think it's a good idea?" Lucy asked Erza

"I'd say that it's a great idea" Erza replied to her

"I can't think of a better way to create a friendship with each other" Erza then takes a bite out of her strawberry cheesecake.

"Hmmmm?" Lucy hummed while using her hands to lean her chin to as she stares at the duo.

She then saw Natsu standing up from his seat with Gray doing the same as the both of them walk towards the table where Lucy and Erza were sitting at.

"how's the search going?" Erza asked to Gray who sat beside her.

"not doing good" Gray replied as he let out a sigh.

"we've checked three out of six areas where she was said to be spotted and came back with no clues whatsoever"

"but you guys are still trying?" Lucy said with a smile.

"don't worry, I'm sure that the both of you will find her soon" She cheered them up as Natsu smiled a bit before looking towards the front door with squinted eyes.

"who is coming?" Natsu asked.

"Huh?" Lucy and the others said in confusion before suddenly they felt drowsy for an unknown reason.

One by one, every single member in Fairy Tail was falling asleep except for Natsu and Makarov who saw a cloaked figure approaching Fairy Tail.

"Mystogan…" Makarov said as a man in a cloak with strange looking staffs attached to his back came into the guild as he passes by everyone that was asleep.

Mystogan then saw Natsu who was looking at him in a sceptical way.

"who is he?" he asked Makarov as he was surprised that Natsu wasn't a sleep from his spell

"Natsu Dragist, a Wizard Saint in our custody for the next two years" Makarov replied as he saw Mystogan nodding and then he went to the request board and picked a request paper.

"I'm going" Mystogan said to Makarov

"Wait" Natsu called out to him as Mystogan turned around to see Natsu standing near his table.

"before you go, I need to ask you a question" Natsu then took out his locket and opens it.

"What is it?" Mystogan asked him back.

"Have you seen this woman?" Natsu asked him while showing the picture in the locket to him.

Mystogan looks at the picture for a moment then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but no I have not" Mystogan replied to Natsu's question.

"then have you been to any of these locations before?" Natsu said as he took out his map and showed to Mystogan three locations that were circled red while three others were marked X.

"for these two, I have not" Mystogan pointed to the two location near the mountain range and then pointed to the other last one.

"But for this one, I have"

"then did you happen to stumble any info of a woman called Ultear Milkovich there?" Natsu asked him with hopeful eyes.

Mystogan shook his head again.

"no, I did not"

"Tch!" Natsu then frowned as he folds back the paper and went back to sit by his table.

Mystogan looks at him for a moment then started to walk away.

"Wait! Undo your sleeping spell!" Makarov exclaimed to him

"in 3…..2…1" Mystogan counted down as he reached to the front door and disappeared.

Everyone then started to woke up as they look around in dazed.

"This feeling…Mystogan?" Gray who woke up said while holding his head.

"Mystogan was here?"

"man, I hate it when he does that"

Everyone murmured out as they all got up from the floor.

"Mystogan?" Lucy asked as she didn't know the individual.

"one of the strongest mages here in Fairy Tail" Gray replied to her question as he shakes his head to ease his headache

"every time he comes back from a mission, he'll put a sleeping spell on everyone as he doesn't want to show his face" Erza added in as she resumed eating her strawberry cheesecake

"isn't that too suspicious?" Lucy asked

"and that's why only Master knows his identity" Mira said as well from beside their seat.

"False! I don't think so, Mira!" a voice exclaimed surprising everyone.

Everyone looks up to the second floor. The voice had come from a large blond man, wearing fancy clothes, and had a pair of magic head phones on his head. He also had a scar on his eye, as he smirked.

"Laxus!?" Gray exclaimed in surprised

"You were here!?" Elfman exclaimed while looking at the blonde man.

"Laxus?" Lucy asked in confusion.

"Another candidate for the strongest mage in Fairy Tail" Erza replied to her as she looks at the blonde man.

"Since when did you get here?" Another guild mate asked.

"I came by from time to time. And regarding that comment Mira, I HAVE seen Mystogan too." He said smugly.

"Hmm, I don't recognize you, you must be that leashed up Wizard Saint member I heard about." Laxus said as he looked at Natsu.

Natsu ignored Laxus as he crossed his hands and was in deep thinking.

"they say that you're one of the most dangerous and vicious of all the Wizard Saints"

Laxus grinned cheekily at Natsu as Natsu glared at him.

"and I heard your looking for your woman as well" Laxus said in a smug tone.

Natsu ignored his comments as he kept his silent and glare on him.

"If I find your woman, I'll take good care of her for you" Laxus grinned at Natsu.

After Laxus said that, all hell break loose.

Laxus jumped away as a fire ball went flying to where he was and it burned the surrounding wood there.

Natsu stood up from his seat and had flames appeared around him as his eye glowed red.

"what did you say?" an immense wave of heat spread around the guild as everyone backs off the fire mage.

"you heard me, one eye pink head" Laxus replied with a mug face.

"I said if I find your woman, I'll take good care of her"

The flames around Natsu intensified as the surrounding items started to get burned and was melting any metallic objects near him.

"Natsu stop!" Makarov exclaimed as he stomped his staff to the floor. "You too Laxus!"

"let it go man" Gray said while putting an ice encased hand on Natsu's shoulder.

"He's not worth it" he said to him.

Natsu growled in annoyance a bit and then shake off Gray's hand as the flames around Natsu died down.

"I will not have the both of you fight in the guild!" Makarov scolded at the both of them.

"whatever, this guy is boring anyway." Laxus scoffed, as he turned and disappeared from their sight.

Natsu then took a deep breath and let it out as he tried to calm down his body heat. He then sat down.

"Whoo, for a minute there I thought they were going to fight." Macao said as he sighed in relief.

"the guild might have been destroyed if those two started to fight." Wakabe said.

"Damn, I'm surprised that he didn't charge the guy after all his taunting." Cana said as she looked at Natsu in amazement.

"You ok Natsu?" Lucy asked the fire mage.

"I'm pissed" Natsu replied as his face had anger written all over it.

"enough, let's forget that it all happen, and Natsu" Erza said while sitting calmly

"people who aren't s-class can't go upstairs as they will be punished even if you're not a member of our guild"

"Why is that?" Lucy asked. Erza started to explained to her about the s-class requests.

"Oh, so I guess he would have gotten Natsu in deep trouble if he did." Lucy said as she understood it.

Erza nodded.

Natsu then stands up and started to go out.

"Hey Natsu! Where you're going man!?" Gray exclaimed while getting up and followed him.

"fresh air and don't follow" Natsu retorted back to Gray while not turning around to look at him.

Natsu then exited the guild with Gray and the others looking worried for the fire mage.

In the streets

Natsu was having a deep rage in his heart as he felt like he wanted to kill Laxus for his comments as he kept walking the streets.

He then felt something bumps his back legs as he turned around and look down and saw a little girl fell down from the bump.

"Ena! I am so sorry sir" A teenage girl quickly ran and helped the little girl up as she then bowed in apology to Natsu.

"it's fine" Natsu replied back.

"Ena, say your sorry!" the teenage girl said to the little girl.

"Sorry mister" The little girl apologized as she was holding purple rose flower in her hands.

"Here Mister!" the little girl gave the flower to Natsu as he takes it and looks at it then to the little girl in confusion.

"you look like you're having a bad day. So, I'm giving you this flower to cheer you up!" the little girl said with a smile to Natsu

Natsu smiled a bit then patted the little girls head.

"Thanks" Natsu thanked the little girl.

The little girl smiled back as she and the teenage girl then waved him goodbye and went on to the street.

"Purple rose, huh?" Natsu muttered out as he twirls the rose in his fingers.

Flashback scene

Natsu was holding a bouquet of purple roses as he gave it to Ultear who smiled at the beautiful roses he gave to her

She then gave him a peck on the cheek as Natsu blushed a bit

End flashback

Natsu then smiled and pocketed the flower and went off.

He then remembered one location that showed the island in his lead to find Ultear.

""Galuna Island?""

Night time

Fairy tail

Lucy and Erza were sitting by their table as they were chatting about their previous quest.

"Master! This is bad!" Mira exclaimed as she runs down from the second floor to the bar

Lucy and Erza looks at her as they were wondering what's wrong.

"one of the S-class quests on the second floor is missing!" Mira exclaimed in worried.

"What!" Everyone exclaimed in shock while Makarov spitted his drink when he heard the news.

"Mira! Are you serious!?" Makarov exclaimed in shock while wiping his mouth.

Mira nodded.

"which one is it!?" Erza exclaimed as she and Lucy went by the bar.

"The Cursed Island, Galuna!" Mira said with a serious voice as Makarov face paled.

"who took it!?" Makarov exclaimed as he looks around his brats

"it was Gray" Laxus voiced boomed out from the second floor.

"What!?" Erza exclaimed in surprised as she looks up the second floor.

"I saw Gray grabbing one of the Quest and then he got away with it too" Laxus said to them.

"and you didn't stop him, Laxus!?" Makarov exclaimed to him.

"the guy wanted to prove he's good enough to beat an S-class quest so I let him be" Laxus shrugged it off with a grin.

"and he might be expelled when he comes back, right Gramps?" Laxus asked his Grandfather.

"This is not good" Makarov said while crossing his arms

"But Gray's not that stupid to do it, right?" Macao said while looking worried.

"why did he even take it in the first place?" Lucy asked while thinking.

Erza was thinking as well when she just realized something.

"Natsu! Where's Natsu?!" Erza exclaimed as she turns around to look for the pink hair mage.

"don't tell me that Natsu.." Lucy said as she realized that the Pink Hair Mage was nowhere to be found.

"Erza, go to the island and get those two idiots back here!" Makarov exclaimed to her.

Erza nodded. "Lucy you come with as well" she said to Lucy as she went out with her.

"Ehh?" Lucy said before getting dragged out of the guild by Erza.

In the middle of the ocean

Natsu and Gray were sitting in their boat as they were being guided to Galuna Island by their sailor, Bobo.

"we'll arrive there in a few more minutes" Bobo said as he stirred his boat.

Natsu nodded as he looks a far.

"thanks for doing this Gray" Natsu thanked the ice mage while smiling a bit to him.

"it's fine, that island is one of the spots where Ultear was last seen and I've always wanted to do an S-class Mission anyway. So, it's like killing two birds with one stone" Gray waved him off with a smile.

Natsu nodded as he then faces in front where he saw an island coming to view.

"I see it" Natsu pointed out as he had a pair of binoculars with him as he used it to look at the island from a far.

"Bobo, stir the boat by the sand, will you?" Gray asked the sailor as he turned around to see he was nowhere to be seen

"Hey! Where did he go!?" Gray exclaimed in surprise with Natsu who turned around to see the sailor is nowhere to be seen.

He then saw a wave of sea water coming towards them.

"Tsunami!" Gray exclaimed in shock.

But then a little fireball when past his head as it hit the tsunami and exploded making the tsunami disappear.

Gray then turns around to see Natsu who had his fingers in a gun like gesture with a bit of steam coming out of the tip.

"Gray, stir the ship" Natsu said as he turned around to look back at the island.

"Y-Yeah" Gray replied and stirred the ship towards the island.

""Please be there, Ultear"" Natsu said in his mind as he puts his hope in finding his wife here.

That's a wrap

Bye Bye
