Chapter 30:

**few hours later after the fight**

After they were over with fight Natsu took his counterpart to guild's infirmary.

"Wendy, would you be so kind to heal if I broke something. I am pretty sure that I did." Natsu said to Wendy and start walking out of the infirmary.

Wendy nodded and then asked "Natsu, where are you going?"

"I'll go and talk to the master to see if we can find any way back to our universe." Natsu said and walk out.

In infirmary left Wendy and her counterpart and Natsu 2.0. who was still unconsciousness lying on bed.

Natsu was now sitting in Makarov's 2.0. office and they were talking about situation Natsu and others were.

"Do you have any idea how to get us back home?" Natsu asked with emotionless face.

Makarov 2.0. still didn't get used at coldness and emotionless from this Natsu. He was so different then the one they knew.

Makarov sighed and said "We have praticly everything set up for that. We started working on portal when Lisanna came to us few months ago. (A/N: When Lisanna 'died' she ended up in Edolas as well as Lisanna 2.0. but when Fairy tail 2.0. was going back to their universe from Edolas both Lisannas ended here because when Mystogan transported them it took everyone that have magic to this universe. It happened few months ago.) We did finished it but the problem is that we need bigger power source then we currently have."

Natsu raised eyebrow and asked "How big do you need?"

Makarov 2.0. answered "It needs to be at least of the two Wizard saints and since I don't want Council to stuck their noses in our business I didn't ask any other Wizard Saint. We were waiting for Gildarts to come home because he has power equal to Wizard Saint and then we would maybe be able to send you home."

Natsu smirked and Makarov 2.0. looked at him confused.

Natsu looked at him with amusement in his eyes, smirk still there.

"You do realize that I have bigger magical container then Gildarts, right?"

Makarov 2.0. looked at him dumbfounded. He didn't even think about it. Erza said that he's dragon and dragons are the most powerful creatures that exist but who would even think about Natsu being so strong. Sure, his counterpart was strong as well but this one was definitely stronger and it was well shown in their fight.

After few minutes Natsu watched as old man stare at him dumbly. As it last for a while now Natsu sweatdropped 'He really didn't even get that idea?'

"Ahem" Natsu coughed to get man's attention. Makarov 2.0. blinked in surprise and then said "Um.. Right.. I must say I didn't get that idea. So... if you wish we can send you and your friend home today."

Natsu's face become emotionless and he said shortly "No"

Makarow gave him puzzled look gesturing for him to continue and explain yourself.

"I would like to stick around for at least a day. This place seem really interesting and I would like to talk with my counterpart a little bit more." Natsu said and stood up to leave master's office but before he could walk out Makarov 2.0. said "Oh, I almost forgot."

Natsu, who was now standing with his back turned to the old man turned just his head to look at his master's counterpart.

"When you came here, you didn't know anything about Anima nor about different universes. Mystogan didn't explain you much or?"

Natsu after hearing that name turned fully to master with slightly confused look "None said anything to us about Anima and I don't know anyone called 'Mystogan'"

Now it was Makarov's 2.0. turn to be confused "You didn't have member in guild that called himself Mystogan?"

Natsu shook his head 'no'.

'That's weird' Makarov 2.0 thought 'How come he don't know about Mystogan. Sure if he was put in sleep by his magic he didn't saw him but still he should at least heard about him...and if he really is above Gildarts level he should even be able to stay awake. What if...' Makarov's 2.0. eyes widened slightly and then went back to normal when he realized what happened.

"Mystogan was counterpart of Jellal form Edolas..." Natsu frowned at hearing Jellal's name 'It's pity I can't kill that bastard in every universe' he thought.

"...He came to our universe to close Anima when it opened somewhere but the one that take us to Edolas was to big to be closed so we were sucked in. I guess since Mystogan was from Edolas he didn't have counterpart in your universe." Makarov 2.0. finished and Natsu nodded in agreement.

"Say, Natsu... How many S-class wizard have you in Fairy tail in your universe?" Makarov 2.0. asked.

Natsu then thought about it slightly counting them inside his head 'one, two, three,... four... that's it'

"We have four S-class. Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts and me. Here?" Natsu said

Makarov 2.0. said "We have three S-class since Mystogan and Laxus left the guild. But I must say your counterpart is pretty close to become one"

Natsu smirked. "You have S-class trials soon, I presume"

Makarov 2.0. nodded and smiled "Next month."

Natsu looked at old man's smiling face and smiled back "So do we"

They now headed out of the office together.

"When did you became S-class?" Makarov 2.0. asked the pink haired dragon.

"I became one year after I joined." Natsu said to the old man. Makarov 2.0. was slightly surprised at that. 'By that he had... eleven years... He's the youngest S-class that Fairy tail ever had'

When they came in main hall there was fight going on. Gray 2.0. was looking for his clothes while other one was in the process of removing his. Both Lucys were sitting at bar talking about god know what. Levy 2.0. was next to them and Jet 2.0. and Droy 2.0. of course wasn't far from Levy 2.0. Elfman 2.0. and Gajeel were fighting each other while Gajeel's counterpart was beating Macao and Wakaba. Juvia 2.0. was behind one of the pillars practically melting while watching two men that was her loved ones. Mira 2.0. was behind bar talking with Wendys and Lisanna talk to Erza while Erza eat her beloved cake. Erza's counterpart sat next to Erza and Lisanna and was talking to them. Lisanna 2.0. tried to stop fight between Elfman 2.0. and Gajeel but so far without success. Other guild members were also fighting. Everything was flying trough the air. Drinks, magic, chairs, tables, even men.

Natsu sweatdroped when he saw this and mumbled "I guess they're not that different from the ones in our universe."

Makarov paled and start sulking while watching furniture flying and quietly said "Oh, the bills... the bills"

Then everyone could hear "I'M ALL FIRED UP!" and saw flaming figure jumping in middle of the fight.

At that Natsu facepalm himself. 'Why is my counterpart so stupid?' he asked himself.

Erza was about to finish last bite of her cake when someone's mug flew right in her plate destroying her cake. The shattered glass of plate flew trough air and somehow was able to end up right in Erza's 2.0. plate where was new piece of strawberry cake. People that were fighting didn't feel sudden drop in temperature nor did they noticed two devil's auras. They didn't noticed it until two Erzas started beating them yelling "HOW DARE YOU RUINED MY BELOVED CAKE?!"

Natsu chuckled "Yup, same as home"

Natsu went down not bothered by two Erza-devils behind him. He sat next to Wendy and Mira 2.0. smiled at him.

"What would you like to drink, Natsu?" Mira asked.

"Glass of water, thank you Mira" Natsu said and then he start thinking about how Mira 2.0. resembles to his Mira.

Wendy 2.0. looked at Natsu and then back at her counterpart. "So... um... I heard that Natsu trained you" Wendy 2.0. said shyly

Wendy smiled at her happily "Yup" and take sip of her orange juice.

"So how was it like?" Wendy 2.0. asked and smiled back.

Wendy put her finger on her chin thinking best way to describe it. "It was really hard but he did help me much. In eight years he learned me almost everything Grandeeney didn't have time to."

Wendy 2.0. looked at her confused "Eight years?" she asked "You knew him while you were in Cait shelter"

Now it was Wendy's turn to be confused "Cait shelter? What's that?"

"You don't know?" Wendy 2.0. asked in disbelief "Then where have you been before you join Fairy tail?"

"With Grandeeney" Wendy answered not understanding what other girl's talking about.

"When did Grandeeney disappeared in your universe?" Wendy 2.0. asked.

"7/7/X777" Wendy answered little sad but then smiled quickly saying "But two days after that master Makarov find me in woods and brought me in Fairy tail"

"So you never went to Cait shelter guild." Wendy 2.0. asked

"Nope. I never even heard of it before." Wendy said looking at her counterpart.

"Okay.. Never mind then." Wendy 2.0. said smiling.

"So how much spells do you know?" Wendy 2.0. asked and Wendy smiled and started talking about all spells her brother thought her.

While Wendy was talking about that Lucy talked with her counter part.

"So you say that only Natsu brought you in guild." Lucy said looking in her counter part.

Lucy nodded and said "Yup"

Happy 2.0. heard this and yelled "I was there too!"

Lucys chuckled at the cat "Yes you were"

Happy then put malicious smile on his face and said in sing-song voice "You liiiiiike him"

Before you know it the cat fly to other side of the guild with big lump on his head while Lucy 2.0. yelled "Dumb Exceed!"

Lucy looked at her puzzled "Exceed?"

Lucy 2.0. also looked at her confused but laughed slightly remembering they weren't in Edolas.

"Yea.. Happy, Charla and Lily are actually Exceeds from Edolas and not just flying cats" Lucy 2.0. explained.

Natsu heard this and thought 'Well that explains it'

"YO! Counterpart!" Natsu heard all to familiar voice yelled. He turned his head to see his counterpart smiling face.

"I just remembered I didn't congratulated you." Natsu 2.0. said grinning and sit next to the dragon.

"So how come you're a dragon?" Natsu 2.0. asked.

"Dragon slayer turns into dragon if he use his magic to much." Natsu said calmly taking sip of his drink.

Natsu 2.0. however paled. "I'll turn into a dragon?"

Natsu seeing his counterpart chuckled and said "You don't have to worry... you need to have dragon heart put inside of you as well." He lied. Well it was partly true. Dragon heart did speed up process but overusing the magic was also something that cause the transformation. However since in their bodies were their dragon parents sealed they shouldn't turn into dragon.

Natsu 2.0. sighed in relief before he registered what his counterpart said "Dragon heart?"

"Yes. My father implanted dragon heart inside me so that i turn in dragon"

Natsu 2.0 frowned at that "What kind of parent does that?"

Natsu chuckled at that.

"Acnologia" he answered.

Natsu 2.0. then looked at his counterpart and said "Well I guess that's true. So why are you all in black?" he asked to change the subject.

"Black is my lucky color" Natsu said and then looked at Natsu's 2.0. cloths "I like your scarf"

Natsu 2.0. grinned "Thanks! Dad left it to me before he disappeared" he said and at the end there was little sadness in his voice.

Natsu smiled at his counterpart and said "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll see him again"

Natsu 2.0. grinned again and said "Your scarf is nice as well"

"Thanks" Natsu said and after he smiled he again had his emotionless face again.

"Why don't you smile more often?" Natsu 2.0. said looking Natsu straight in the eyes. This question surprised him slightly. No one asked him that before. He thought about how to answer that.

"I... Don't feel like smiling. There's not much to smile about I guess" Natsu said and look at his empty glass.

"Baka!" Natsu 2.0. said. Natsu looked at him again with slight surprise in his eyes. But surprise turned in annoyance pretty fast.

"Who are you calling idiot?" Natsu growled.

"Come on! Of course you have reason to smile more! Look around you! You're surrounded with people that care about you. You should smile and laugh with them!" Natsu 2.0. yelled attracting attention of other around the bar.

Natsu closed his eyes and growled in annoyance. He let small amount of his magic to fill the air. Natsu 2.0. and those around the bar gulped at devilish aura and magic that started leaking out of Natsu. Natsu 2.0. sighed and walk from the bar saying "Suit yourself". He then went to Gray 2.0. and start fighting with him and soon after Gray joined. Others that stay at bar stare at Natsu in silence an then started to speak again when Natsu stopped letting out his magic.

"He's scary" Lucy 2.0. whispered to her counterpart.

"That was nothing. You should see him when he actually try to be scary" Lucy said and then both shivered.

Everyone started talking with each other. Natsu look for a while in his empty glass. 'Do I really have reason to smile more often? I mean I smile to Wendy, Mira and to Erza, Lucy, Gray and I smiled to master. I even smiled to those dumb cats too...um... I mean... Exceeds...' then Natsu got to conclusion 'I smile often' he then thought about it for a little more 'I smile when I'm in fight. I mean it's really funny to see them with those faces filled with horror. Oh and that Kageyama guy. He's face was priceless!' Natsu thought and on his face appeared his famous wicked smile.

Lucy looked at him and said her counterpart to do the same. Lucy 2.0. looked at him and shivered.

"I wounder what he's thinking about" Lucy 2.0. said with nervous smile.

"You don't want to know" Wendy said to her with horrified face.

All around him gulped again.

After few minutes they could hear the well-known bells in town.

"It looks like Gildarts is back" Natsu said with smirk.
