Fairy Tail & Asura's Wrath Fic I'm no longer doing Fairy Tail & Dragon Ball Z. I just lost interest in that idea. Besides this idea works much better.

Wrathful Dragneel Ch 1
X782
The sound of a train was heard as it stopped at its station. Outside the station, was surrounded by layers and layers of snow.
A blue cat with wings flew out of the car wearing a jacket.
"We're here Natsu!...Natsu?"
A pink haired man who's face was green was crawling out of the car.
"Happy...Help me..." He groaned.
The blue cat shook his head in disappointment.
A Few Minutes Later...
"Alright! Feeling better after I got off that death wagon! Now let's do this!" An excited Natsu said.
Happy looked to the flyer he picked up.
"Natsu, I still think this is a bit weird."
"What makes you say that Happy?"
"It says here that in Shimo Village there's this item called... The Orb of Wrath? And I still don't understand why you decided to go...Unless you want to exchange it for huge money!" Happy said.
Natsu simply scratched his head.
"I'm not doing it for the money."
Happy face faulted as he cried.
"THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO EAT FISH IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT?!" Happy complained.
"FISH FOR IT! WE'RE SURROUNDED BY WATER!" Natsu roared back before coughing.
"Anyway, the reason why I wanted to go is to...Test myself."
Happy raised an eyebrow, he knew Natsu was acting strange ever since they left the guild.
Natsu grips the flier and grins. "Let's not ask anymore questions. First we need to ask someone where we can find this Shimo village."
A cold breeze flew by and Happy shivered. He looked at Natsu and saw the Dragon Slayer wasn't phased by it.
"HOW ARE YOU NOT COLD?!"
Natsu shrugged his shoulders and casually walks.
'I knew I should've stayed home, it's much warmer than this.' Thought Happy in dismay.
Shimo Village
A man was thrown to the ground, covered in third degree burns. And he wasn't the only one, there were many people who laid dead on the cold snow, with their bodies burned to a crisp.
"I'm going to ask you once more..."
A man with long blonde hair and red eyes grins sadistically at an elderly man wearing a jacket.
"Where is the Orb of Wrath?! I know it's here!"
The old man glares at the blonde haired man.
"Like I would ever give our prized possession to an outsider, let alone a murderer." He spat out in anger.
The man just chuckles lightly.
"Are you stupid or something, do you not see the many dead bodies littered to the ground? Shimo Village is known to have the best water mages and yet none of them could even beat me!" He boasted.
"Zancrow, obviously this approach isn't working."
The man named Zancrow growled as he turned to a woman with long black hair holding a crystal ball.
"Remind why you're here again Ultear?"
"Master Hades wanted me to watch you to make sure you don't fail the mission. He desperately wants the Orb of Wrath." Ultear explained.
"You two are from Grimore Heart. A dark guild. You bring shame to the rest of the guilds." The elder said.
"Ah! So you've heard of us! All the more reason to give us the Orb! Do that and we'll let you live." Zancrow states.
The elder shook his head.
"You obviously have no idea why that orb is important to this village. Let me tell you both this story."
The elder closed his eyes.
"Many years ago, our village was once a mountain of snow and ice, one day a meteor was falling from the sky. Why? Nobody knows. But what happened was that it fell into the mountain and both the mountain and meteor was destroyed. Once the mountain was gone, our ancestors used the landscape to create the village you see today. It wasn't much, but the people were content. One a particular day, a group of extremists that followed Zeref took over this village. Most of the people couldn't fight back. But my grandfather didn't take lightly to the action even though he knew he couldn't take them on. He escaped the village to figure out how to fight the extremists. On on search. He saw something shine in the water, so he jumped into the cold water, swimming lower and lower until he found an item that ensured the village's freedom."
"The Orb of Wrath." Ultear simply stated.
The elder said nothing as he continued his story. "When my grandfather touched it, unspeakable power flowed through him. He returned back to the village and fought the extremists and won. Driving them out of Shimo Village. Even though the battle was won, my grandfather knew that there would be people who would kill for the orb and that the power itself would corrupt him. So he decided to hide it from the outside world and never used it again. But it is a symbol of what it did for this village."
The elder stares at the two dark mages. "Which is why I can't allow you to take it."
Zancrow just shook his head while laughing.
"You stupid geezer, all you really did was bore me to hell! I don't give a damn if its sentimental to you or not! All that matters is that we're taking it! Even if it means killing everybody in this village, including you!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
"Huh?"
A water shaped like an eastern dragon opened its maw and slammed at Zancrow. Splashing him with high pressure water. Surprising Ultear.
A large man wearing a jacket walked into the opening.
"You think you people from Grimmore Heart can come to our village and do whatever the hell you want?!"
The elder looked at the younger man worried.
"Son...You shouldn't have done that..."
The younger man laughed.
"Why not?! I thought he's getting back up after that. After all, I'm the best water mage in this village." He boasted.
"I'm afraid that I'm going to have to agree with the geezer on that."
The son of the chief's eyes widen when he turned to Zancrow who unfazed.
"If that was from the best of this village, then you guys are really just weak."
Both of Zancrow's hands were engulfed in dark gray flames. He had a smile akin to a maniac.
Natsu's nose sniffed the air.
"What are you smelling Natsu? Is it fish?!" Happy asks.
Natsu frowns. "For some weird reason, I'm picking up fire, which is odd considering the environment here."
"I mean it is cold Natsu." Happy added.
"It's not that Happy, something about the fire I'm smelling is...Blood..." Natsu's expression turned serious.
Happy tilts his head in confusion. "Fire is blood?"
Natsu runs to the direction of the smell, Happy follows after him.
Natsu skids to a halt when he stares at a person that was bleeding all over to snow, while covered in nasty burns that may never heal.
"Natsu why did you run off like that?! What could have possibly-" Happy gasps when he sees the person bleeding to death.
"Please stop them...They're going to take it away..." The person wheezed.
Natsu crouched down and gently grabs the man.
"Don't worry, I'll get you somewhere safe where you can-"
The man grabbed Natsu's scarf and yanked it.
"It's too late for me...Please save Shimo Village from..." The man lost his grip on his scarf as life left his eyes.
Natsu turned around to see smoke from far away.
"Happy...Stay here." Natsu didn't turn to Happy.
"Huh? Natsu why shou-"
"JUST STAY HERE!" Natsu yelled as he broke into a mad dash.
Back at Shimo Village...
Zancrow grabbed the man's neck and lifts in the air.
"You are truly pathetic, you really thought you could take on Grimore Heart?"
The man's jacket was burned away, revealing his bloody and burned body.
"At least you're more durable than those other weaklings. But a weakling is still a weakling."
Ultear sighs. This was going nowhere. "Zancrow, stop fooling around and get the Orb, we don't have all day."
Zancrow groans. "Will you shut up!? Can't you see I'm having fun?!"
"Then I'll be sure to explain to Master Hades that you failed retrieving the Orb of Wrath because you were having fun." Ultear threatened while smiling.
"Ugh! Fine!"
Zancrow turned to the elder. "Look old geezer, your people have pissed me off and enough time has been wasted. So you either tell me where the orb is or I kill your son!"
"Your bluffing."
Zanctrow's hand burst into flames as it engulfed the chief's son.
"AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
Seeing his son in pure agony, the elder couldn't take it anymore.
"STOP! PLEASE SPARE MY SON! I'LL BRING YOU THE ORB!"
"FINALLY!" Zancrow's flames disappeared, leaving the chief's son in a near death state. Zancrow drops him and turned to the elder while crossing his arms.
"Now bring it old geezer!"
"Father...Don't do it..." The chief's son wheezed out.
The chief didn't say anything as he walked into a home he then walked out with an old treasure chest. He opened the chest revealing a golden glowing orb.
Zancrow grins. "There we go. All this trouble could've been avoided if you just handed what we wanted in the first place."
The chief growls. "Just take and leave us be."
Zancrow's eyes were shadowed. "Of course but first..."
Zancrow shoved his fist into the elder's stomach, tearing it open.
"FATHER!"
Blood spewed from the open wound as the elder coughed blood from his mouth. Dropping the chest.
"Why?..." He wheezed
"For wasting my damn time!"
Dark fire burst from the wound.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Zancrow removed his bloody fist from the chief's stomach as he fell to the cold snow, blood oozing from his body.
Even Ultear was surprised by this action. But remained unfazed.
"I though you weren't going to kill anyone else." Ultear questioned.
"The old man pissed me off. Besides, we got what we came here for. So let's take the orb and burn this village to the ground." He said nonchalantly.
"YOU MONSTER!" The chief's son got up albeit moaning in pain and charged at Zancrow.
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO OUR VILLAGE AND MY FATHER!"
"Tsk, now you're no fun to kill." Zancrow suckered punched in the gut, causing him to fall to the ground next to his dead father.
Zancrow turned to the chest.
"All we need now is too-"
A blue blur swiped the orb.
Zancrow's eye was twitching.
"YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" He spat.
"HEY!"
Both Dark Mages turned to a man with cherry hair and a scarf.
"Great another weakling...Wait, that mark, you're from Fairy Tail aren't you?!"
Natsu glared at Zancrow. "So what if I am?!"
Zancrow then chuckles.
"Let's just say our guild master Hades has a grudge against Fairy Tail!"
"Zancrow you idiot you're not suppose to share that information!" Ultear reprimanded.
"Why not? It's not like he'll come back alive anyway."
Natsu ignored him as he looked over to the corpses.
"...Did you do this?" Natsu growled.
"Of course I did! These weaklings decided to sacrifice for that orb! If they had just given to us, I wouldn't have killed them!"
Natsu's hands were lit up.
"People like you...MAKE ME SICK!" Natsu roared out, before he could charge at Zancrow, Happy appeared in front of holding something.
"NATSU! I GOT IT! I'VE GOTTEN THE ORB! CATCH!"
Before Natsu could say anything, Happy threw the orb and Natsu caught it in his hands.
"Woah...So this is it huh?"
Natsu could feel the energy coming from the orb.
Without warning, the golden orb glowed brighter as it blinded everyone. It turned into energy, entering Natsu's body.
The blinding light disappeared, revealing the orb was now gone.
Everyone was confused.
'That's impossible...The orb infused with the Dragon Slayer?! Master Hades will not be happy.' Thought Ultear. But no one was more mad than Zancrow.
"Do you have...ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE!?"
Natsu tilted his head in confusion.
"No." His simple reply.
"You just destroyed the only chance that Master Hades had from destroying Fairy Tail!"
Natsu then had a smug look. "In that case, I'm glad I did it!"
Zancrow's hands engulfed in dark flames. "Your going to pay BIG TIME!" Zancrow roared as he charged towards Natsu.
'That guy does flame magic...Which means I should have the edge.' Thought Natsu.
"Hey moron! You should know that I'm a Dragon Slayer, a fire mage to be exact! Which means fire is ineffective against me!"
Zancrow's eyes were shadowed as he smiled.
"Is that so?...Well then I hate to disappoint you but I'm..."
Zancrow slammed his fist into Natsu's stomach, sending him flying.
"NATSU!" Happy yelled.
"No ordinary fire mage." He finished.
'What the hell?! Why did it hurt so much?!'
Natsu then back flipped in the air as he landed on the snow.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu ran to Zancrow with his engulfed hand.
Zancrow saw Natsu charging at him so he stood in place.
Natsu punched Zancrow in the torso. Making Zancrow leer his head down.
"Hurts huh?"
Natsu was startled when he heard laughter coming from Zancrow.
"Weak...So weak!" Zancrow grabs Natsu's arms. Natsu tries to pry himself free, but Zancrow's grip was surprisingly strong.
Zancrow then started jabbing punches to Natsu's stomach.
"Weak! Weak! Weak! Weak! Weak!" Zancrow said with each punch!"
Natsu grips his teeth as his legs was engulfed in flames
"Fire Dragon's Claw!"
Natsu tried to kick Zancrow but he say that coming and jumped to avoid the kick while landing a kick on Natsu's face.
"If this is all FairyTail has to offer, then Hades won't even have to lift a finger!"
This was pissing Natsu off. Who the hell was this Hades guy and why does he hate Fairy Tail? Regardless he had to take this asshole down.
Natsu then quickly gathered fired in his mouth.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu fired a fireball point blank at Zancrow, which caused an explosion. The smoke revealed that Zancrow was unfazed.
Natsu's eyes shrank.
"But...How?"
"Simple, you're just weak. Then again, a Dragon Slayer like you couldn't compare to a God Slayer!"
"God Slayer?"
"Let me educate you. God Slayer magic is lost magic just like Dragon Slayer magic, but much stronger than your pathetic magic. In fact..."
Zancrow's right arm was engulfed in dark flames.
"Let me show you the difference...Fire God's Explosive Flame!"
Zancrow's launched his punch at Natsu, causing a huge explosion which sent Natsu flying.
The Dragon Slayer skids until he stopped by heavier snow.
Though Natsu survived, he was now bleeding and had burn marks all over his body.
"Damn it...I will defeat you..." Natsu slowly got up and exhaled a few times.
Zancrow walks up to him with a smirk.
"You know, I've heard many people from that village say the same thing? Guess where they are now? DEAD!"
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Natsu launched at Zancrow with a head butt.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"
He crashed into Zancrow, but the God Slayer smiled as he raised both his hands and slammed them down at Natsu.
"Pathetic!" Zancrow kicks Natsu away.
"You know what! I don't even care about the orb anymore! When Hades hears I killed a Fairy Tail mage, he'll be so happy!"
Zancrow started inhaling flames as Natsu landed.
"Fire God's Bellow!" Zancrow launched a massive fireball at Natsu who couldn't move in time and took the damage.
The smoke revealed Natsu who's eyes were blank as he stood and took that nasty attack.
He then collapses on the cold snow.
"Heheheh...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! HOW FUN IS THIS! TODAY IS SUCH A GOOD DAY!"
Zancrow walks to Natsu as he lifts him by the scarf.
"Hey buddy! Don't be out now! I've only just started!" Zancrow shook him violently. He then grins darkly.
"I know how to wake you up!"
Zancrow's hand is engulfed in flames as he jabbed into Natsu's right pectoral.
That immediately woke Natsu causing him to scream.
"Oh I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Here, I'll make it better!"
Zancrow then plunged his hand deeper into Natsu's pectoral, blood oozing from the wound.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Ah, music to my ears. Keep screaming, I want you Fairy Tail scum to suffer!"
Zancrow then was hit with a snowball from behind. The Fire God Slayer removed his hand from Natsu's wound and turned around.
He saw Happy with tears in his eyes as he held some snowballs.
"Leave him alone! Stop hurting Natsu!" He cried out as he threw more snowballs at Zancrow.
"Ah that's right. You're the cat who screwed this mission for Grimoire Heart."
Zancrow slowly started walking to the exceed.
"HAPPY GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Natsu yelled out.
"Stop...Don't take another step or..."
All the anger Happy had was immediately replaced by fear as Zancrow towered over him.
"Or what little kitty cat? You think you can mess with me and not suffer the consequences?"
Zancrow's hands both light up.
"Natsu..." Happy muttered.
"DON'T HURT HIM! HE'S DONE NOTHING TO YOU!" Roared Natsu as he tried to get up, but damage he took was stopping him.
"Naughty kitties like you should be punished, or better yet, turned to ash."
Happy was too struck by fear to even move.
"Fire God's Supper!"
Zancrow claps his hands down and launched a mouth-shaped attack of black flames at Happy, who couldn't move.
Natsu was forced to watch as his 'son' was engulfed by the dark flames, crying out in pain and agony.
The flames disappeared as Happy fell to the snow, his body was covered in nasty burns, he almost looked unrecognizable.
Natsu's eyes shrank as he couldn't stop the tears falling from his face.
"No...Happy..."
"Awww...He was your pet! And judging by the mark on his back, he was also from Fairy Tail. Looks like I already killed one."
"You'll pay..." Natsu whispered. The Dragon Slayer clawed the cold snow.
"You'll pay..." Natsu said it this time a bit louder. He suddenly found the strength to stand with his eyes shadow.
Zancrow looked surprised, but still smiled.
"Wow, even after all that you're still standing?! I'm impressed that a weakling like you is still clinging to life! Regardless, I'm still going to kill you for my master!"
Zancrow charged at Natsu with his arm leaned back, he aimed a punch at Natsu but to his surprise, Natsu caught it.
"What the?!"
"You'll pay...You'll pay...YOU'LL PAY!"
With newfound strength, Natsu crushed Zancrow's fist, making the God Slayer cry out in pain.
"AGH!" Zancrow jumped back while holding his hand.
"How the hell did you-?!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A fire pillar suddenly enveloped Natsu.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Zancrow exclaimed. For a moment he was surprised, but he regained his smirk.
"It doesn't matter your flames are still weaker than mine!...Fire God's Bellow!"
Zancrow launched his attack at the flames, the attack hit, but something happened that Zancrow didn't expect, the dark flames were consumed by the orange flames.
Zancrow's eyes shrank.
"I-Impossible."
The flame pillar disappeared, showing Natsu but with a different look. His burnt clothes showed his torso with weird line patterns. Natsu's arms and legs were covered in some gold armor, and Natsu's eyes were blank.
"GRIMOIRE HEART!"
Faster than Zancrow anticipated, Natsu ran and landed a solid kick into Zancrow's gut.
"GAH!" Zancrow coughed up some spittle and blood as he was sent flying. But Natsu wasn't done yet. He jumped towards Zancrow and landed an axe kick on his face. Natsu lifted his foot and stomped Zancrow's face. And he did it again and again and again until Zancrow grabbed his foot.
"You Fairy Tail scum! I'll make you suffer! Fire God's Bellow!"
Zancrow launched a point blank attack at Natsu. Zancrow smiled as he was sure it finished off Natsu. But to his horror, the smoke left to reveal Natsu was unfazed.
"What?! How?"
"Is that it? I was expecting more from the mage who killed those innocent people." Mocked Natsu.
Of course that made Zancrow angry.
"You piece of shit! Don't you mock me!"
"You said that Fire God Slayer Magic was superior to Fire Dragon Slayer Magic?...Let's change that."
Natsu's hands and feet were engulfed in intense flames.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu punched Zancrow hard with his signature attack that caused the God Slayer to be slammed to the ground.
"Fire Dragon's Claw!" Natsu kicked Zancrow into the air as he jumped into the sky.
As he was nearing Zancrow. Natsu ignites his fists with large, light spheres.
"Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist!" Natsu declared as he hit Zancrow with multiple punches back to back, each impact caused an explosion.
"This is for the innocent people you killed...And for insulting Fairy Tail...And for HURTING HAPPY!"
With one last punch, Natsu sent Zancrow to the ground.
Natsu fell to the snow, feet first.
Zancrow slowly got back up on his feet. His body was covered in bruises and burns. He covered his mouth as he coughed up blood. His eyes shrank upon view.
"You...Hurt me..." His hand was shaking in anger.
"How dare you...HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME FAIRY TAIL TRASH!"
Zancrow's body was engulfed in dark flames.
"I'LL MAKE I KILL YOU TODAY! I ZANCROW OF THE SEVEN KIN OF PURGATORY WILL END YOU HERE!"
Zancrow spread his arms and legs and created a giant ball of black flames that was about the size of a large house.
"I'LL MAKE SURE YOU BURN FAIRY TAIL TRASH! Fire God's Kagutsuchi!"
Natsu stood still, waiting for the fireball to reach him. When it did, the impossible happened, Natsu not only caught the fireball with his hands. But Zancrow was shocked when Natsu opened his mouth and inhaled the dark flames.
Zancrow was now sweating bullets. "I-Impossible? No...You're just a Dragon Slayer! There's no way you can eat my flames!" Zancrow bellowed.
Natsu finished slurping the flames. "Delicious. Now it's time to end this." Natsu slowly walked towards Zancrow
Zancrow felt like he was staring at giant. The image of Natsu towering over him was startling. For the first time ever in his life, Zancrow felt fear.
"No...No...Stay away...STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"What's wrong? Where's that bravado you had before?" Natsu asked.
"You're...YOU'RE A MONSTER!"
Poor choice of words cause Natsu was now seething.
"Monster...You think I'm a monster...WHAT ABOUT YOU!? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE YOU KILLED HERE?! YOU HURT MY FAMILY! AND FOR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!"
Zancrow then did the one thing he wouldn't even consider doing in his life...He turned around and ran away.
'IF I STAY HERE HE'LL KILL ME!'
Natsu put his hands together as he charged up some type of orb.
"There's no way in hell I'm letting you escape! TAKE THIS AND GO TO HELL!"
Natsu finished charging as the orb shrank before turning into an orange beam that was heading to Zancrow.
The Fire God Slayer saw an orange light and turned to the source. A hot orange beam was mere inches from him.
'No...This can't be...Is this how I die?...Master Hades...I'm sorry...'
The orange beam engulfed Zancrow.
"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Zancrow's body disintegrated into ashes. The beam kept going until it disappeared from Natsu's sight. Leaving a scorched ground within miles.
Natsu was breathing heavily. His strange markings disappeared, so did his gold armor covering his arms and legs. And his pupils returned.
"I did it...I..." Natsu felt fatigued as he couldn't move his body and fell face first into the snow.
Unknown to him, Ultear had watched the entire battle and she was speechless.
'Impossible...Natsu Dragneel just killed Zancrow. One of Seven Kins of Purgatory...This has gone from bad to worse so fast...'
Ultear stared at the unconscious body of Natsu. 'I could kill him here...But that would raise lots of questions. Not to mention that Fairy Tail's Guild Master would come after us...What do I do here?'
Ultear had a smirk on her face.
'I know just what to do.'
Natsu slowly opened his eyes to greet a ceiling.
"Where am I?"
"You're in the medical hut."
Natsu turned to meet the chief's son, who looked to be still alive, but his wounds were treaded.
"How did I end up here? And..."
Natsu's eyes widen as his body shot up.
"HAPPY! WHERE'S HAPPY?! AGH!"
A sharp pain stopped Natsu from moving.
"You mean the blue cat right? Don't worry, we had someone heal him. He was very lucky, if he wasn't treated sooner, then he would've succumbed to those nasty burns."
Hearing Happy being alive brought relief in his heart. But it was soon replaced by guilt.
"I shouldn't have brought him along with me. It's my fault he got hurt."
"Hey, if it wasn't for you, Grimoire would've gotten away with killing the rest of us. Even if it was just two mages."
'Oh right, that Zancrow guy...Did I really do it?...No I can't think like that! He was from a dark guild, and killed innocent people.'
"I should thank you, you're from Fairy Tail, a guild from Fiore correct? My father has heard wonders from your guild...If he was still alive, he would've thanked you from the bottom of his heart...Even though we lost the orb, what's important is the people in Shimo Village. Ah! Look at me rambling, how should you be awarded?"
"Thank you, but the truth is that this was an S-Class mission and I'm not an S-Class mage. By taking the award, I would bring shame to Fairy Tail. Besides, I'm just glad to been there when Grimoire Heart attacked." Natsu stated.
"Okay, at the very least you can stay in this village until you feel ready to leave. If you'll need me, I'll be attending to my people." The man walked out of the room.
Leaving Natsu alone.
"...OH CRAP! IF ANYONE FROM FAIRY TAIL FIND OUT WHAT I DID, GRAMPS IS GOING TO KILL ME, OR ERZA, OR WORSE BOTH!"
"Yes, that is quite a predicament."
Natsu turned to a woman in a jacket, the hood covering her face.
"Umm, who are you miss?...Wait, I recognize your send, your-"
The woman removed her hood to reveal that she was Ultear.
Natsu's anger returned. "I KNEW IT! YOU'RE THE WOMAN WHO WAS WITH THAT ZANCROW GUY!"
"First of all, lower your voice. And second of all, I didn't come here to kill you, rather to make a bargain."
"What?"
"Let me introduce myself. "I'm Ultear Milkovich, leader of the Seven Kins of Purgatory, well Six Kins of Purgatory now. My point is, I'm willing to let you live if you follow my demands."
"And why the hell should I do that?"
"Because, I can have Fairy Tail shut down. You're familiar with the Magic Council?"
"Those old farts? They keep coming up with stupid reasons why Fairy Tail should be shut down!"
"What if I'm told I have connections with them."
Natsu huffed. "Your lying. Why the hell would the Magic Council trust someone from a dark guild. As much as they hate Fairy Tail, they despise dark guilds even more."
Ultear smirked. "Your not as dumb as you look. Still, what would I gain from lying to you? Let's picture a scenario. Let's say you went to the Magic Council and told them that our guild was involved. Given that Fairy Tail has a nasty reputation with the Magic Council, and the fact that you admitted that you took an S-Rank mission despite being an A-Rank mage, you alone being the cause of many headaches in the council, and let's not forget that I have the council under my fingers...What do you think will happen?"
Natsu didn't need to say anything as Ultear's threat made the message loud and clear.
Ultear smiled. "At least you understand that there's nothing you can do to stop us."
"How do I know that you're not going to against your word."
"Because of this."
Ultear zipped down her jacket, revealing Happy who was sleeping happily on her chest. Natsu noticed that Happy didn't have all those burns.
"I'm the one who healed your cat with this." She pulled out a fancy vile filled with water.
"I'm not dumb enough to not think that Zancrow would hit me with friendly fire. One drop and it heals the most severe burns."
"Umm...Do you think I could get some of that?" Natsu asked bluntly.
Ultear laughs a little. "Your funny. Hopefully we'll never meet again Natsu Dragneel." Ultear puts down Happy next to Natsu.
"Before you leave, I have to know...Why are you doing this? What do you have to gain from making people suffer?" Natsu questioned.
Ultear stops as she turns to the Dragon Slayer with a fixated glare. "Like you could ever understand my ambition. Be grateful I don't kill you here."
She then smiles.
"That being said, I can't say the same for our Master Hades. Most likely he'll come to Fairy Tail wanting revenge for what you did to Zancrow. You dug your own grave Natsu Dragneel." Ultear turns away and leaves.
Natsu looks down at his bandages and notices a sharp pain was throbbing at his chest. He removed the bandages on his chest, making Natsu wince at his wound. His right pectoral suffered mostly from a 3rd degree burn. And there were four holes there too.
"Why the hell did I do this?"
Later...
It was now night time, Natsu and Happy left the village and took the train back to Fiore. Though Natsu was told to stay longer to rest up and heal, he knew he couldn't stay long or else his nakama at Fairy Tail would wonder where he is.
Right now him and Happy were walking back to their house.
"Glad to be home right Happy?"
"Yeah..." Happy's reply was solemn.
Natsu noticed his change of attitude ever since they left the village. Natsu didn't want to pressure Happy into telling him what's wrong after what he's been through.
Natsu and Happy then heard some loud snoring.
"I know that scent." Natsu smelled a familiar scent along with some alcohol.
Right in front of their hut, laid Cana who was snoring on her back.
Judging from the smell, Natsu immediately knew that Cana must've been drunk and passed out. How she came to their house was a mystery because he never once showed her where he and Happy lived.
"Natsu, that's Cana! How did she get here?"
"I don't know Happy. My guess is that she somehow managed to walk here while drunk then passed out. Well we can't leave her here."
"How come?"
"Cause I'm a good person and don't want anything bad to happen to her while she's sleeping."
"Oh! You're doing it because you like her don't you!?" Happy teased, his good mood returning.
"Quiet, you'll wake her up." Natsu whispered.
He then carried her in a bridal position as he entered their hut. Once he did, he laid her on the ground softly.
"Good night Cana." He rubbed his hand all over her hair.
"Oohhhh!" Happy continued to tease. Natsu rolled his eyes.
"Get some sleep Happy, we had a long day."
"Natsu...Can I sleep next to you?" Happy asked.
"We do that all the time."
"No, I sleep away from you. Remember when I hatched, you used to hug me and we both went to sleep. And there were times we did it with Lisanna-"
Happy covered his mouth as soon as he said her name.
Natsu looked shocked.
Happy turn his eyes away from Natsu. "I'm sorry, it was dumb. I'll just-"
"No no! We'll do it. If it makes you Happy!" Natsu stated.
"YAY!" Happy flew to Natsu's torso and hugged him.
Natsu laughed at this action.
'Oh Lisanna, I wish you were still here. Then maybe you could've stopped me.'
Flashback
"What's this Laxus?"
"An S-Class mission. Something about defending some village's treasure or something."
"Why are you giving me this? You know Gramp's rules."
"I know you want to get stronger, to prevent what happened with that girl you liked right?"
Natsu growled.
"Her name is Lisanna."
"Whatever, the point is, maybe you should try your meddle there."
"What's your angle Laxus, are you trying to get me in trouble with Gramps?"
"I just want to see if you're up to the task. And judging by your reaction I can see you're not. You wanna know why you weren't there with them, cause your weak Natsu."
"You better watch what you say Laxus."
"Heh, why shouldn't I speak the truth, I know it, everybody knows it, even Gramps knows that you're weak. And if you keep being the way you are, then you'll watch as more of your loved ones die."
"..."
"What's the matter? Got nothing left to say weakling?"
Natsu snatched the paper from Laxus' hand.
"Know this, I'm only doing this to prove you wrong Laxus. That I'm not weak."
"Then come back to this guild in one piece. I'll be waiting."
Flashback End
Natsu sighed.
What happened today was not worth Laxus' challenged, everything that happened was his fault.
'I'm sorry Happy for putting you in danger. It was never my intention. I promise to get stronger so I can protect my nakama...'
The image of his form during his fight with Zancrow flashed in his mind.
'What happened to me? Did it have something to do with that orb?..Whatever it is, I need that power.'
A pink haired girl was running a top of rooftops.
The moon shining behind her.
Meredy Milkovich's expression was emotionless.
"Mission: Kill Natsu Dragneel for the death of Zancrow. Start."
Chapter End
Author's Notes: Like I stated earlier. I've given up on the Fairy Tail X DBZ crossover story. That being said, I haven't given up on making a story for Fairy Tail, mostly because it was my first posted story ever. And I haven't seen any crossovers about Fairy Tail and Asura's Wrath. So I decided why not? I want to see how things go from here. And this AU takes places in X782, months after Lisanna's 'Death'. Of course things will be divergent from canon. Like early Natsu vs Zancrow, Ultear's interaction with Natsu. And most importantly, Natsu's new powers. In this story, it will be classified as transformation magic. But more of that will be explained. Until then, Scourge7 is out.
