Previously:

Hyorinmaru smiled at how his son was handling the situation. When he had first gotten them back into Earthland he had been a little scared that his son would kill people like he would hollows but it was now clear that his fears were unfounded. Toshiro had always respected those that were alive and the life that they had. Why the ice dragon thought his son would kill his full living opponents was beyond him. However a worse fear reached the dragon's heart when he saw what his son did. As the blade flew closer to his son's chest Toshiro twisted instinctively with the blade hitting the ice scales shattering them and sending them into particles. He knew that his child was going to use the other new move that he had taught him while they had been between the two missions.

Now:

Natsu gave out a yell of anger as he charged at the man. He needed to make sure that Toshiro had enough time to get up. The man himself was actually quite surprised how much harder that the fire dragon slayer was when he was angry. It was like he was taking on a bull that just would not quit no matter what you did to it. It seemed that no matter how many times he cut the teenager he kept getting up and attacking without a second thought. Which was seriously infuriating to no end.

Just as he was about to try and take the pink haired slayer down he was forced to avoid a powerful attack that had flew his way when the other dragon slayer yelled out, "Ice Dragon Hail Strom!" The man managed to get under an over hanging rock that blocked all the hail that flew in his direction. However, he had placed himself in a dangerous spot at he now had to jump out of the way of a dragon roar made out of fire. Looking at where the white haired slayer was he saw that the other was already launching into his next attack as he had his hands at his side with a small snow storm in between his hands. "Ice Dragon Blizzard Strike." The attack flew from between the small slayer's hands and right at the man at terrifying speeds trapping him in a miniature blizzard that made the wounds he already had feel much worse in the blistering temperature.

Natsu and Toshiro took this time to position themselves to when the man found himself out of his own personal blizzard he was hit from either side with two different dragon roars. The man screamed and ran around trying to get away from the attack only to find the two members of Fairy Tail followed him along. When they stopped he looked at the two of them furiously as he snarled and made several energy bombs that forced the two to go back on the defensive. However, even with them on the defensive neither were very easy to hit as they would nimbly dodge the explosions and the knives he was sending their way.

The ice dragon slayer had enough of the man's weapons so he sent out his spirit pressure freezing all of them in a moment. Natsu only shivered for a short moment before he shook it off and grinned at the man widely. With both of his hands lighting up and Toshiro getting another blizzard ready the pink haired male said, "I am going to enjoy beating your ass." The flames got worse on his hands, nearly singing one of the falling leaves that were going around him. "Then you are going straight to jail."

"I like to see you brats try." The man put his hands out and the blades shattered the ice blocks that were around him when he uses his magic to release them, "When I am through with you two I am delivering your dead bodies to the very guild you came from in packages."

Toshiro wanted to snort at the irony that the man said concerning him but he held himself from doing so easily. Instead he merely watched the man closely as he lowered the temperature around him and Natsu with his spiritual pressure. This caused the man to sneer when he noticed the immediate temperature change. "You freak, are going to die first."

The fire dragon slayer lost his smile and charged at the man with an angry yell. Upon reaching the man, the teenager found three knives buried in his right arm as his fist made a connection to the man's face. Using the momentum he sent the man into the air with a kick putting his opponent right into the blizzard attack that had gone flying not milliseconds earlier. Again the man screamed as the slayers didn't waist any time sending out their next attack. Toshiro sending out and dragon roar and Natsu sending out a wing attack. As the man hit the ground, the mother rose from her nest holding her eggs and slammed her foot on him sending him unconscious immediately.

Toshiro wasted no time and looked at the mother, "I need you to take me to his camp." He then turned to Natsu and said before he could ask, "I need you to get this man to town so he can be restrained. If he gets back up there is no telling what can happen. After that come and find me. We are going to try and get her mate free from where ever he is."

The pinkette nodded and walked over to the unconscious man, "I'll be over as soon as I can. Don't leave without me."

Toshiro nodded, "I won't." He watched his teammate walk off with the man over his shoulder then looked at the aquatic lizard, "I need your help getting to the other side. Can you do that for me?"

She huffed but let him climb onto her back as she swam over to the other land mass. The moment she reached the ground he ignored his pained head and jumped off, darting over to the camp sight. Carefully he detonated any traps that were there before going into the tent and looking through the man's items. His eyes instantly looking for anything important that would tell him how many people there were and the location. Upon finding the location he committed where it was to memory.

By the time he found out there was no one else working there Natsu ran up with Happy right behind him, "Any luck on finding out where we need to go?"

Toshiro went up to the map the man had laid out and pointed to a location east of them. "He is somewhere in here." The half soul reaper frowned, "That isn't a very far distance. She was determined to get away."

Natsu tilted his head as he looked over the map, "That is only a quick half hour walk from here. We can get that done easily."

The white haired dragon slayer nodded in agreement to the assessment. Picking up the map he looked around for anything that might be used to open the door since he had read that there was a door that was locked. Seeing a chest in the corner he handed the map to Natsu and went over to open it. Cracking it open easily with his hands the weak lock broke allowing him to look inside. He moved the contents inside around then picked up the small chest in one of his hands. "There are several keys in here. We might need them to get inside."

The pinkette raised an eyebrow, "Why not just bust our way in there? I'm sure that we can take on anyone that is there."

The teal eyed male was unamused by the reply, "If we bust our way in there that male aquatic lizard might get violent. We need to prevent that from happening the best way we can. The keys are our best bet to letting that not happen."

Happy tilted his head curiously, "But won't the keys do that too?"

"No, the creature will be used to the key. If we blast our way in he will not be used to it and might attack us if he finds a way to get free. This will also give us a chance to allow him to get our scent. Dragneel and I smell much like his mate does so that will calm him down since she would never let the man that she was getting away from as close as we were to her eggs." Toshiro replied, he started heading in the direction the facility was in.

The two of them had gotten there quickly with Natsu using Happy and boosting them while Toshiro flash stepped there. Stopping in front of the door Toshiro felt the energy of the place and picked up on the energy that was around the male aquatic lizard. "He is here and it feels like there is a child of his kind in there with him, male from the feel of it."

"Wow, you really make things like this easy." Natsu said taking in the small house that they were in front of. He about jumped out of his skin when the small box was put into his hands and the white haired male picking out a random key. Finding that it didn't work Toshiro put it back in the box and tried a different key. It took him another two tries before he found the right key and they got inside. Leaving the key that opened the door on the table next to it he and Natsu sniffed the air to try and find their way down to where the animal was. "I can't smell where it is."

"Okay, I'm going to need you to use your ears. I'm going to start freezing the floor. When metal is frozen it sounds different than wood." The pinkette nodded in agreement as the soul reaper started frosting the floor over. It didn't take too long for the fire dragon slayer to walk over to where he heard it. Reaching down he pulled off the rug that was covering it and groaned seeing the lock. Refusing to roll his teal eyes
the ice dragon slayer dug through the box of keys again and tried the keys. Getting the key in the second try he pulled open the hatch.

The moment the two of them jumped down they could hear the male aquatic male giving out growls of irritation and chains. Letting out a small huff Toshiro led the way over through the very confusing tunnels to where the animal was being held. The only reason they had made it was due to their sense of smell and of course the leading male using his spiritual pressure to pick up the energy signal. Getting to the large metal door that the angry male was behind Toshiro glared at the top lock that was out of reach and not made like a normal lock at all, in fact all the locks had a different dagger that was its key. Natsu, who was confused, looked at the keys in the box and then at the locks, "These definitely won't be fitting?"

"No they wont, he used weapons as keys." The bleach haired male pinched the bridge of his nose, "I am thinking that those are for other rooms in this facility. There were other rooms we passed and hallways that we passed that ha door that fit them better. Damn it."

The fire breathing dragon slayer grinned, "So that means we have to bust in don't we?"

"Unfortunately yes." Natsu yelled about being fired up as Toshiro placed his hand against the door and started freezing it over where it would make a sizable hole for the animal to get through when they got it free. His spiritual pressure easily freezing the thick metal. When he pulled his hand away Natsu shot forward and smashed the frozen part down just as quickly. Walking into the large room the first thing they were met with was a darker version of the female chained down with thick metal making it impossible for him to reach the water that had a smaller version of him trapped in a large glass tank.

Both of the slayers were upset by what they were seeing and gave a small growl each. Walking forward Toshiro held his arm out causing the angry male to stop pulling on the chains and take in the scent that had clung to him. "I know you are more understanding than most animals so I need you to listen to me." The larger male's silver eyes locked onto his teal. "Dragneel and I have met your mate. She had a clutch of eggs she is keeping safe in the bottom of an island. We are here to get you back to her. You and your son."

Seeing that the male aquatic lizard straining against the chains keeping him in place, Toshiro stepped forward allowing the large male to touch his arm with his nose. As he did this Natsu walked up to the tank and tapped on the glass to get a feel for how thick it was, "I can break through this if you get him free."

Toshiro nodded and looked over at the blue cat, "Happy,…" The feline's eyes locked onto him, "…get into the air. We don't want you crashing into the wall when the water comes out." Happy flew into the air instantly and Toshiro locked eyes with male aquatic lizard, "I'm going to freeze the chains just like I did the door. You should be able to break through them easily after that."

The large aquatic lizard let out a snort and watched him carefully as the ice dragon slayer touched the chain and started to freeze it over. The large male clearly was staring to get uncomfortable as he started to shift with jerky movements causing the chain to crack. Feeling like he had done enough at the neck the soul reaper went over to the other chains keeping him in place and started freezing them over as well. During all this Natsu rammed against the glass holding back the smaller version of the male aquatic lizard. The cracks in the glass encouraged the younger aquatic male to slam against the glass helping it shatter faster. Giving a growl Natsu hit the glass that should have already broken at this point. It was as if it had been reinforced with magic to keep it from breaking. "You have got to be kidding me!"

Toshiro looked around the chain that was holding down the larger male's tail his jaw dropping slightly as the glass was mending itself. Looking at the chains he saw them doing the same thing and miraculously unfreezing the metal. Going back over to the metal around the father throat he examined it closely and pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is not happening."

"Why are they not breaking?"

"They are coated in some kind of magic that repairs them. We are going to have to work together to get them free. We can't let it repair itself."

"What about a key lock?" Suggested Happy, hovering close to Toshiro's shoulder.

"From what I can see there is none." Teal eyes locked on the to cats black, "These were designed to stay on. Dragneel, same plan with the door." Natsu nodded with a large grin and walked over to the aquatic lizard. Touching the male's snout Toshiro apologized, "I'm sorry this might hurt you." The only reply the oversized lizard gave was an affectionate lick to his arm.

Pulling his hand away Toshiro placed his hand on the chain once again freezing it over with his spiritual pressure. Natsu seeing the amount of metal that was frozen jumped into the air and shattered the chain by hitting it as hard as he could. The male aquatic lizard let out a snarl then looked at Natsu slightly iffed by didn't do anything. Toshiro patted the males neck then moved on to the next chain around one of its legs. The two of them continued to do this till the aquatic male was free then turned their attention to the tank holding the smaller male inside. Before they could try and help the little male the adult aquatic lizard slammed himself into the glass causing a larger crack than Natsu had been able to cause when he first hit it.

Natsu darted in right after the lizard backed off punching the center of the crack with a flame pushing his arm forward from his elbow. Even as he made the crack bigger the glass started trying to repair itself. Not about to let this happen Toshiro let out a roar embedding shards of ice in the deeper cracks causing more cracks to splinter out. The smaller aquatic male swam to the other side of the tank to get away from the possible danger. Seeing that the smaller aquatic lizard was scared Toshiro went over to the side of the tank and created a grip for him to use by freezing part of water inside. The smaller lizard swam over to the ice grip that the white haired male froze over for him. He took it and held on for dear life as the glass shattered within the next few hits. When the water rushed out Natsu got swept away with it while Toshiro jumped up and created his own ice grip on the glass.

When the water was done the father let out a huff causing the smaller aquatic lizard to jump down and through the hole before it closed up again. Toshiro jumped down to the ground only to be tackled onto his back with the small lizard licking him. This caused Natsu to burst out laughing while his fellow dragon slayer tried to fend off the energetic lizard's affection. "Okay, okay I get it. You can stop."

The young lizard got off of the bleached haired male and went over to his father. Sitting himself up Toshiro push his hair out of his face and glared at the still laughing fire dragon slayer. Standing up he walked over to the door that now also had it self repaired. Pinching the bridge of his nose he felt irritation unlike any other built up in him. "What! How did that happen and we didn't hear it?"

Opening his eyes Toshiro looked around at a different tank that didn't have any water in it but chains much like how the larger male had been chained down, "She got away."

Natsu and Happy looked at him as the pinkette said with a raised eyebrow, "Of course she did. We saw her. So what are you getting at?"

Teal eyes locked onto charcoal, "The house we entered in was completely in tack meaning she didn't exit from there when she ran away. The metal door can fix itself as can the other things we tried to break." He pointed to the empty tank, "This was originally her and her mate's tank before she got away."

"What do you mean? There is no hole." Natsu asked looking around the tank. "Unless the hole closed up on itself like the metal and glass."

"No, I don't think who ever did this learned how to do it on cement." Toshiro said pointing out the floor that the metal shards had cut up. "And where the hole was, is obvious." Natsu and Happy looked at the wall trying to find what his fell slayer was pointing out, "The color of the cement is brighter where the hole was. Instead of trying to fix it entirely he just had it covered. He took her mate out so that he didn't follow after her." Placing his hand against the thick glass and froze it over allowing Natsu to shattering it easier then the one that had been filled up with water. They and the two lizards made their way through the broken glass. The moment they were inside the father went over to part of the wall and tried to push and claw at it. Toshiro turned to Natsu, "I'm pretty sure this is where you come in."

The fire dragon slayer grinned and his fist lighting up. Toshiro pushed the adult lizard who moved with his gentle encouragement. When they were far enough away Natsu charged at the wall that the larger animal had been scratching at and shattered it open. Tilting his head he looked at his partner, "Wow, how did you know? You never explained that."

Toshiro walked over to the wall indicating to the differing colors between part of the wall that broken to the wall that was still intact, "I did explain it, you just didn't want to actually pay attention to what I saw."

Natsu took the piece of wall from the soul reaper and put it up to the wall, "How in the world did you see that from a distance? There is barely any difference."

The ice dragon slayer let out a breath and started going down the hole after the aquatic lizards waited there for them. The moment he got close he was picked up by the larger ones tail and deposited on his back before he did the to Natsu as well, who made sure to grab Happy to his chest. The moment they were situated he darted down the dark tunnel. Due to the smooth scales the two were barely able to hold on. How they didn't fall off was beyond them. Toshiro and Natsu barely smelled the water and held their breath in time when they entered it. The moment they hit the water both slid off by the force but they were caught by the adult lizard that turned in time to catch them as well as his tail catching the younger lizard.

This was when the larger lizard swam up to the surface breaching the water quicker than both dragon slayers thought was going to happen. The moment they were above the water with Toshiro was hanging onto the aquatic lizard leg they found some of the rune knights looking down at them. Teal eyes looked up at them slightly confused where as Natsu swam up to the shore and pulled himself up, "Hey, you got here sooner than I though you were supposed to."

"Was that an explosion we heard from inside?" One of the knights asked looking at the teenager in the eye.

"Yes, it was the only way to get the aquatic lizards free from there." Toshiro replied pulling himself onto the ground. Getting to his full height he ignored the water dripping down his face as the knight turned his attention to him, "Other than that you will find nothing else destroyed as he seemed to find someone that could make the metal and glass mend itself if broken."

"And was there someone else here that you found?"

"No, he worked alone and it didn't smell like anyone else was there." Toshiro replied, "At least not in a long while. From what I can tell from the papers I found at his camp site he worked alone for the most part. If they ever came to see if they wanted one of the aquatic lizards I assume he took them to a different place." He placed his hand on the larger male's snout to keep him from try to attack the rune knights. "Dragneel mentioned that you got here sooner than he expected. Was he wanted for anything else other than enraging an animal that is relatively peaceful?"

"While they are not the most peaceful of animals they are not the animals that are the most dangerous out there so long as they are left alone." The rune knight replied looking at the hand touching the animal. "However, he is wanted for the selling of dark magical items in addition to what he has done here today."

Toshiro turned to Natsu, "Dragneel, can you lead him to his mate? I'll show the rune knights the path we took and to the box that had the keys. I did feel what they are talking about." Now that he thought about it he did remember Makarov telling him about the rune knight and what they wore.

"Are you sure Hitsugaya?"

"Yes, it shouldn't take too long just wait for me at the island or the shore closest to it." Toshiro looked at the rune knight in the eye, "The path we took is rather simple but I did notice several paths that I intended to look into once we got the aquatic lizards free." The rune knight followed him inside.

Toshiro sat on the bed as he dried his hair, he was in the room that the three had. They had gotten away from the aquatic lizards but they were not scot free yet as they still needed to make sure that they could actually leave town without the lizard's losing their minds. To make matters worse they had to stay in town with two men that were still being disrespectful to both of them. "So how did talking to the rune knights go?" Natsu asked as he draped himself over near the pillows. The way he spoke it didn't sound like they had a good history with each other.

"It was nothing I haven't had to handle before." Toshiro replied, "I gave them the information that they needed and I was let go."

"Did they find the things they were looking for?" Happy asked with a mouth full of fish.

"Yes." The ice dragon slayer replied as he put the towel around his shoulders. It had felt nice to be able to enjoy the shower. After being in the hole with the mother for that one day and being in the water a couple of times after that the shower was called for.

"Do you know exactly what they were?"

Teal eyes looked at Natsu, "No, I didn't go in with them. Once I showed them the paths that we spotted on our way to the lizards I answered their questions and was free to go. We still have to finish our job here as it is not done."

"Wait, but we did it. The man was the issue."

"No, we were called into take care of the 'dragon'. We still need to talk to the mayor to find out what we are going to do about the lizards. Especially with the mother still having eggs that need to hatch." Was the simple reply as the white haired male stood up to dig through his bag. Pulling out his comb he walked back to the bathroom. Looking at each other Happy and Natsu shrugged and got ready to go to sleep. They would deal with what they needed to do the next day. At least it sounded like all they needed to do was talk to the mayor.
