A/N:

So the recent chapter was Natsu's past. I hope you like it.

The chapter before that tho, this is the continuation. So reread that chapter before this one so you don't get out the loop.

P.S. They don't know about him and Zeref and him being E.N.D so in the past chapters it is nothing to be taken seriously.

NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!!


"That's his past." Erza finished.

They had finished fighting off everyone while Erza was talking about Natsu's past.

"That's a tough past. He must be so lonely, even now." Lucy said,

"Are you saying him beating everyone was fine?" Erza snapped,

"Of course not!" Lucy hissed, "He came to some unknown guild because his dragons probably told him it was a good idea to join one, Igneel at least! And then the moment he joins some kid he never met came and picked a fight with him! When he refused the fight that same kid began talking bad about his dragons, which were technically his parents!! So when he does give him the fight, the kid got hurt and all of you attacked him even though he did exactly what the kid asked him!! If anyone is a monster it's the guild!"

At that point Gray and Natsu had already came back and was surprised to hear what was going on.

"Listen, I'm not saying what Natsu did was right. Actually it was far from the right thing to do! But I know that if someone had talked about my parents like that or anyone I cared about, I wouldn't hesitate to beat the shit out of them." Lucy said,

"So I think the guild should give him a chance." Lucy said petting Happy.

It was quiet. What are they supposed to do now? Are they really the monsters? Strong arms then wrapped around Lucy's waist, causing her to flinch.

"Thank you." Whispered a soft voice. It sounded cracked and strained. It was a surprise for her to feel tears dampen her shirt, but she couldn't help but smile. She turned around in his arms, Happy flying out her arms.

She wrapped her arms around his mid as the quiet room rang with soft sobs.

"Your welcome." She whispered back, lifting his head and wiping his tears with the pad of her thumb.

It was a surprise for all of them, but when Lucy had put her hand on his cheek and wiped his tears, Natsu gave her a big toothy grin that reached his eyes. It wasn't strained or fake. It was a nice, big, genuine grin.

At the Legional Guild Meeting

"How's Chaos, Makarov?" A chubby man with lipstick and blush asked,

"Ah... He seems to have taken a liking to our newest member." Makarov said,

"That poor child." A male with a spiked collar said,

"How hurt is the poor thing?" Someone asked,

"That's just it. They've went on a job together and went to retrieve a guild member that hadn't come back from a job yet. And both those times she's came back to the guild in a wonderful condition." He explains causing the people around him to gasp.

"She treats him like equal and doesn't see him as someone to be feared." Makarov said with a smile.

"She might just change him or take care of his temper." Makarov said voiced filled with hope.

Others murmured around him wondering who is the female that might change Chaos.

Just then a bird flies inside the meeting place. A letter in its talons adresessed to Makarov.

"A letter from Mirajane." The bird said giving the letter to Makarov. The bird flying away, after completing its task.

"Great job at the regional meeting Master!" Mira said in a cheery voice.

"What do think guys? This is my guilds poster girl!" Makarov exclaimed proudly.

"And while you were out, Erza, Gray and Chaos has formed a team. Lucy was happy to go so no fights happen between them, along with Happy." Mira stated in a cheery voice. Surprising the master.

"Well? What do you think about the predicament?" Mira asked.

Makarov didn't answer he was already sweating a lot.

"I wanted to pass the news on to you, so I'm sending this letter! See you!!" Mira said and disappeared.

At this point, Makarov was already sweating buckets.

'At this point they may destroy a whole town! Please keep them in check Lucy.' Makarov thought falling to the floor.


"So Erigor already left, huh?" Erza questioned,

"What are we gonna do about that?" Gray asked looking at the strong gust of wind that was preventing them from leaving.

"Why are you guys keeping me?" The guy who had hurt Lucy, Kage, asked. Natsu had gotten his turn to beat the shit out of him, now he has cuts and bruises all over his body, including burns.

"Because you're hurt,which means you need medical attention." Lucy said simply,

"Now, if only I had Virgo." Lucy mumbled, sitting on Natsu's lap and Happy on hers.

"I have it!" Happy said proudly,

"Happy even though Everlue went to jail you can't just take the key." Lucy scolded,

"But, Lushy, she gave me to give you." Happy whined,

"Really!?" Lucy asked surprised,

"Yep! Here ya go." Happy said giving her the key.

Lucy jumped out Natsu's lap, key in hand, and began chanting the words to summon Virgo.

"Summon the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Lucy called. And in a flash of light and a ring of bells Virgo showed up.

"Hello Princess." Virgo said with no expression,

"Weren't you a gorilla the last time I saw you?" Lucy asked with a raised eyebrow.

Instead of being a huge female gorilla-like person like the last time, she was a teenage girl, with chains around her wrists and a maid outfit.

"I change my appearance on how my holders would like." Virgo said,

"Would like me to be like this?" She said in a gruff voice, and turned into the gorilla-like maid they saw before.

"N-No. Go back to before." Lucy sweat dropped and Virgo turned back to her teenage form.

"Virgo can you get us out of here?" Lucy asked.

When they got out, on the other side of the winds, it was blowing very hard and blowing things away.

"Princess! I'll hold your skirt down!" Virgo shouted, over the winds, holding down the back of Lucy's skirt while Lucy was holding down the front.

"I wouldn't worry about me." Lucy said with a sweatdrop as Virgo's skirt was flying up,

"Oh wow.." Gray murmured as he stood to the back of Virgo, his face aflame and steam technically coming out his head.

After moving a reasonable distance away from the winds, Natsu wrapped his arms around Lucy's waist and used his fire to fly up.

"What are you doing Na-kun?" Lucy asked turning around in his hold so she can hold on to him,

"Do you really think we'll be able to catch up with wind guy if we go in that?" He said motioning to the Magic-Mobile,

"True. Okay let's go." Lucy said. And with that they flew off towards Erigor, Erza and the others rushing to catch up with them, which deemed impossible.

When the two caught up to Erigor, Lucy held on tighter while Natsu gave him a fire fueled punch.

"Stay here." He said putting her far away from the fight that will commence.

"Hah? Then why'd you bring me here?" She asked a bit annoyed,

"Emotional support." He said bluntly.

She couldn't help but smile at his answer, knowing that he might actually open up to her now, and knowing his past helps a tonne.

"Hai!" She said cheerily.

A small smile grace his lips but quickly disappears when he hears Erigor groan. He walked up to him and punched him in the stomach, fueled by his flames, sending him flying.

"You." Erigor groans, "Those flames.. You're Chaos aren't you?"

Natsu doesn't answer his questions, just watch him with pure hatred.

"Going after the Guild Masters, huh?" Natsu whispered, "You're dumber than I thought."

"You!" He groans as another punch was connected with his stomach causing him to cough up blood.

Natsu steps back from him, blood on his hand but it wasn't Erigor's, it was his own.

"Na-kun!! Are you alright!?" Lucy asked, shouting from across the bridge seeing as they are very far from her.

"So you brought her with you?" Erigor chuckles, looking past him to see Lucy on the ground, a worried expression on her face.

"She's a cutie, too." He said, causing Natsu to glare at him, "To bad she's gonna die!!" Erigor shouted, using his winds to propel himself to Lucy.

Lucy's eyes widen to fear when she saw Erigor zooming at her. Unable to move as fear consumed her, she sat there, eyes wide. When Erigor was close enough she closed her eyes, only to feel strong, warm arms wrap around her.

"How!?" Erigor shouted.

Lucy opened her eyes only to see Natsu holding her and Erigor's weapon against his back. His half-dragon side out as he had his scales out.

"Na-kun?" She asked opening her eyes fully. Even though they were in the midst of battle, she couldn't help but feel attracted to his scales. Both midnight blue and fiery red scales on his face, up his arms, down his legs and back.

Her curious mind getting the best of her as she lifted her hand to bring it across the scales on his cheek.

"So pretty." She whispered enough for him to hear. He watched her curiously as she continued to watch him over.

When he did it in the guild they got even more afraid of him but she was interested.

A long tail whipped out from under his cloak and wrapped around Erigor's neck.

"Are you ok?" He asked genuinely worried about the blonde beauty still in his hold.

"I'm fine." She whispered, totally engrossed by his new look.

"How's your back?" She asked, only focused on him as they kept strong eye contact.

"My scales protected me so I should be fine." He said, using his tail to throw Erigor across the bridge.

"That's good to know." She smiled, rubbing his cheek with the pad of her thumb. He smiled back, nuzzling his face into her hand a bit more.

"Ugh.." Erigor groans, snapping the two out the trance they were in.

"I'll kill you!" Erigor shouted use his wind to push Natsu off the bridge.

Lucy's eyes widen when she sees Natsu go off the edge. Tears welling up in her eyes.

"Now you." Erigor said turning to her.

Lucy shook in fear as Erigor lifted his hand ready for his attack. Her tears falling in both sadness and fear.

"Ahh!!" She screamed. Erigor's winds cutting at her skin causing her to bleed.

Natsu came up, using his fire, and was boiling when he saw, what he saw. Lucy was holding her bleeding arm, her body covered in cuts, and Erigor's hand was up to shoot another attack.

"Chaos Fire Dragon Roar!!" Natsu shouted blasting his attack at Erigor before flying down to Lucy.

"I'm sorry. You got hurt." He whispered placing his forehead on hers.

"It's ok. I'm just happy you're alive." She smiled touching his cheek.

"That puny attack won't work. My winds blows anything away." Erigor said proudly standing up. He had winds all over his body. His arms, legs, chest, waist, hip, face, neck, all over his body.

"This is Storm Mail. Fire attacks don't work against me." Erigor laughed.

Natsu dashed for him engulfing his hand in flames and punching Erigor only for his flames go be put out when he catches his fist.

"Fuck you." Natsu growled jumping back to Lucy to protect her.

"Na-kun, how hot can you're flames get?" Lucy asked,

"They can melt anything, why?" He asked keeping his eyes on Erigor incase he made a move.

"Wind always flows towards low pressure points. If you can make your fire really hot his armor will disappear and you'll be able to beat his ass." She said to him.

He smirked at her words. Taking off his cape and placed it around her.

"Your amazing." He breathes out. She smiles and kisses his cheek.

"Don't get yourself hurt." She said,

"Yeh yeh." He rolled his eyes. He wrapped the cape around her body and pulled the hood over her head.

She scooted back a bit as he took a step forward. He engulfed himself in flames. With each passing second the heat of his fire rising.

'So hot! I could feel it radiating off of him!' Lucy thought scooting a bit farther away.

"Wha-!?" Erigor exclaimed realising his winds were sucking in towards Natsu.

When Erigor's wind armor was completely off him, Natsu launched himself at Erigor, a solid punch hitting him in the stomach. And just before he sent Erigor flying he whispered to him, "Try or hurt her again and I'll have your life." Erigor was sent flying, knocked unconscious from the strong impact.

Natsu limped over to Lucy, seeing as he drained a lot of his magic doing that attack. He dropped to his knees in front of her, panting.

Lucy lifted the hood from off her head and let Natsu hold her. A sigh of content leaving her lips. Natsu moved the cape aside a bit looking at the cuts on her body.

"Do they hurt?" He asked touching one of the many cuts on her body. She whimpered when he touched it, smacking his hand away.

"From since when do you care about me?" She questioned jokingly,

"Well I do now. You're just gonna have to get used to it." He said,

She giggled and touched the scales on his bicep.

"Their pretty." She said rubbing her hand over them.

"Weirdo." He said causing her to pout.

"Says the one that has a blue flying cat and can eat fire." She said rolling her eyes.

"Did you get this cape from Acnologia?" She questioned looking at the cape,

"Yeh. He left it for me. It's really important to me." He chuckled,

"So I'm guessing the scarf was from Igneel?" She said playing with the ends of it, as it was secure around his neck.

"He left it for me, too. It's also really important." He said wrapping it around her neck.

"And why are you putting them on me?" She questioned with a small blush,

"Because you're now important to me." He said under his breath. Her face flushed, she hid her face with the scarf and pulled the hood over her head in attempt to hide her rising blush. He laughed at her attempt to hide away.

A magic mobile came to a stop a few ways ahead of them. Everyone in it rushing off. Lucy removed the hood from off her head and the scarf from on her face.

A blue blur dashed into Lucy. Snuggling in her chest as Lucy pet his head.

"Erigor... How?" Kage murmured seeing the unconscious mage on the ground.

Erza and Gray shocked to see Lucy in the arms of Natsu and his cape and scarf on her.

Lucy slipped off Natsu's cape and gave it to him. She was about to take his scarf off but he insisted that she kept it on and she gladly accepts.

"Touch that flute and I'll end your misery here and now." Natsu said. The thing is he was only paying attention to the blonde in front of him when he said that.

Erza, Gray, Lucy and Happy looked in the direction of the flute only to see Kage take a step back, fear plastered on his face.


"Just who is this guy?" Kage questioned looking at the back of Natsu's head.

Erza was sitting beside Kage with Happy in her lap. Across from them was Lucy, she had Natsu's head in her lap as she combed her fingers through his hair and humming a tune. Natsu's face was turned to Lucy's stomach his arms wrapped around her waist. Gray was driving the magic mobile seeing as Erza was getting tired, though she won't admit it. They were heading to the guildmasters hall.

"Chaos." Gray answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Didn't you see his flames when he had beat you?" Gray asked.

Kage clicked his tongue and looked away. He took a glance at Natsu and Lucy and shuddered.

'If we hadn't been on transportation when I had kicked her I probably wouldn't be here right now, would I?' He questioned himself and swallowed thickly.

They stayed quiet after that only the sound of Lucy's humming. They listened to her hum, Erza trying her best to stay awake along with Gray; Kage, Natsu and Happy already asleep. Lucy's eyes were closed but she was still awake humming her tune.

When they reached at their destination, Lucy had stopped humming, snapping them out of the small trance it seems like they were in.

Each of them climbed out the magic mobile. Lucy helped Natsu off, Happy on her head, seeing as he had used a lot of magic in one sitting. Erza held the flute and Gray helped Kage off.

At the same time the guild masters meeting was finished and they came outside to see the group coming towards them.

"This is Lullaby. The Eisenwald guild was planning to use it on you, guildmasters." Erza explained.

They paid attention to Erza but soon moved their attention to a certain dragon slayer and a celestial mage. Erza realizes the lack of attention and turns around to see why, her eyes widening then softening at the sight that was displayed in front of everyone.

Lucy who still had on Natsu's scarf was treating some of his wounds.

"Is that better?" She asked. Natsu nodded and smiled a bit and so did Lucy.

She looked at his cape and frowned. It has a tear in the back, probably when Erigor had tried to attack her.

"How about you come to my apartment when we get back, so I can fix your cape?" She asked, not sure, seeing how the cape is very important to him. He nodded his head and she smiled.

She began treating her own wounds and Natsu helps which makes her happy.

"I've never seen him smile." Makarov said surprised at how close Natsu and Lucy seem to be.

Erza turned back to Master a sad look on her face.

"Master... I told her his past." Erza said. Everyone was shocked to see that she was still around him after hearing his past.

"Oh? What did she think?" Master questioned.

"She said that what he did was wrong but it didn't excuse what we did." Erza said looking back at her,

"What do you mean child?" Makarov asked confused,

"She said that his past was tough and he must be lonely, even now. When I had asked her if she thinks what he did was right she answered 'Of course not.', That 'He came to an unknown guild because Igneel probably suggested he joined one.' That 'When he joined a child he never met challenged him to a fight and insulted his foster parents.' That 'When he gave the kid the fight he wanted, everyone began to hurt him and eventually excluding him and fearing him.' " Erza said, eyes still on the two in front of her.

"She said if anyone was the monster, it was the guild, and that we should give him a chance." Erza finished.

At the end of the story, everyones eyes were still on the two before them.

Lucy was talking to Happy and Natsu was watching her with care and protectiveness. They saw that the small times she would smile and laugh, he would smile with her.

Suddenly, his eyes dilated and his head whipped their way, startling them. Eyes still dilated he picked Lucy up, with Happy, and jumped back.

"Drop the flute and move back!!" Natsu growled. And they did just that.

They all gather beside Natsu who was keeping Lucy close to his chest, her back turned to the flute but she was looking over her shoulder to see what was happening.

They watched as the flute glowed and began to speak.

"I can't stand this anymore! I, myself, will eat on your souls!!" Lullaby shouted as the flute took the shape of a Gigantic monster.

"Wh-what!? I didn't know about this!!" Kage shouted shocked,

"Oh my.. What trouble..." The chubby man with lipstick and blush said with a smile but you could hear the fear in his voice.

"I'm so hungry, I can't stand it!! Your souls will be my meal!!" Lullaby said.

"The flute turned into a monster." Lucy whispered shakily.

Natsu glares hard at the monster as he rubbed circles on Lucy's back. Happy, also afraid, flew into Lucy's arms.

"Now which soul should I eat first?" Lullaby wondered out loud,

"This is Zeref's magic. Living magic." The guy with the spiked collar said,

"Zeref the Black Wizard. The most evil wizard in history. Who would have thought his magic from hundreds of years ago would have made an appearance in our world, today?" The man in lipstick and blush said with a smile and a hand on his cheek.

"I've made my decision." Lullaby said.

Lucy shook vigorously, clinging to Natsu, for he makes her feel safe.

"I'll eat all of them!!" Lullaby shouted using his magic.

In a second Lucy was beside Master, Happy in her arms, and Natsu, Gray and Erza was attacking the monster.

"Chaos Fire Dragon Roar!!" Natsu shouted. Blue and Red flames spewed from his mouth aimed and caught the monster. Erza changed into her Flame Empress Armor to protect herself, since she was close to the monster, but Natsu's fire was to hot and ended up melting it, surprising everyone.

They continued to attack making progress as they went on. When Lullaby shot an attack at Lucy and the guild masters. She wanted to call out her spirits but she was frozen in fear.

"Ice make: Shield!!" Gray called. He was already in front of them, both his arms in front of his with a ice made shield protecting then from Lullaby's attack.

"He can do maker magic with such speed!!" A guild masters shouted in surprise.

"Ice make: Lance!!" Gray shouted. Lances made of ice a hot from his hand and into Lullaby's side, making a hole.

"Now!!" He shouted and, as if on cue, all three of them attacked Lullaby at the same time, defeating it in the process. It fell over and destroyed the meeting place for the guild masters.

"They made such quick work of Zeref's demon."

"Th-That's incredible."

Remembering that Natsu was using a lot of his magic and was probably drained, Lucy scrambled to her feet and ran to Natsu. She got to him just in time, seeing as he was about to tople over.

"Are you ok?" She questioned worriedly.

She sat him down and rested her hand on his cheek. He nuzzled into her hand and looked at her.

"I'm fine, just drained." He said,

"Baka! If you were drained why'd you fight?" She questioned,

"To protect you." He said bluntly.

A deep blush came to her face, causing him to chuckle.

"The meeting place!!" A guild master shouted.

"It's completely demolished!!" Another shouted.

By the time Lucy had helped Natsu back to his feet, Master Makarov and everyone else were already making their escape.

"I think we should go too, Natsu." Lucy said.

"What's your name sweetheart?" Someone said.

Lucy turned her head to see a chubby man with lipstick and blush and beside him was a slimmer male with a spike collar around his neck.

"My name's is Lucy. And you are?" Lucy questioned politely,

"I am Bob. The Blue Pegasus Guild master." Bob said with a smile,

"I'm Goldmine. The Quatro Cerberus Guild master." Goldmine said.

"It's nice to meet you." Lucy smiled,

"Watch over Chaos, alright?" Bob asked,

"Hai!" Lucy said with a giggle.

"C'mon Na-kun." Lucy said turning around and walking away with Natsu.
