Chapter 2

Wendy was currently performing her healing magic on the unconscious Natsu.

"Well, Wendy," Erza asked.

"Physically he's fine, but this mark," Wendy pointed to mark on Natsu's neck "I have never seen it before, it greatly hurting Natsu-niisan, and I don't know how to cure it,"

"Maybe Master or Porlyusica may know," Lucy suggested.

"Yeah, they can help," Gray smiled. "Were close to Magnolia already so lets going,"

Erza and the others nodded.

"Natsu," Happy cried seeing Natsu in pain.

Erza then picked up Natsu on her back "Alright let's go,"

The trip to guildhall wasn't that long, and the team managed to get back unharmed, they quickly charged into the guildhall.

"MASTER! NATSU NEEDS HELP!" Erza yelled.

Makarov got out of his seat and ran up to the group "What happened," his eyes then widened seeing Natsu was unconscious and shaking in pain. "What happened to Natsu,"

"Some guy attacked us, we fought him off but, he did something to Natsu," Erza explained.

"Yeah and now he has this weird mark on his neck, Wendy healed him but it looks like that mark is doing something to him," Gray told him.

Makarov nodded "Alright," he then turned to Jet "Jet, get Porlyusica here she can help," Jet nodded and ran out of the guildhall.

"For now let's put him in the infirmary," Mira told them and the group nodded.

Once they put Natsu in the infirmary, Jet had arrived back with Porlyusica. She went to the infirmary to examine Natsu. After about 10 minutes Porlyusica emerged from the infirmary.

"Well, how is he," Makarov asked.

Porlyusica had a grim look "Physically he's fine, but.."

"But what, what's wrong with Natsu," Erza said.

"The thing on his neck, I believe it's a Curse Mark," Porlyusica told them.

"A Curse Mark? What is that," Gray asked her.

"I don't know much, but I heard it's a kind of technique that can increase a person's physical and mental abilities, but at a cost," Porlyusica explained.

"A cost?" Erza said.

Porlyusica nodded "Yes, whoever has the curse will be controlled by the one who gave them it,"

Everyone's eyes widen at this.

"Whoever did it to him probably wants him for something," Porlyusica said.

"Anything else," Makarov asked her.

Porlyusica nodded "Yes, there is only a 10% chance of him surviving after receiving it,"

The guild's eyes widen in horror.

"You mean Natsu could die," Lucy shivered.

"No," Wendy cried.

"Damn it," Gray punched a wall.

"Natsu," Erza clenched her fist.

"I'm sorry there is nothing more that I can do. All we can do is hope he survives, but.." Porlyusica turned her head.

"But what.." Erza shouted.

"I say the ones who died from the Curse Marks are the lucky ones," Porlyusica said.

"What, so you say Natsu should just die," Gray shouted at her.

"No, I mean that from what I learned, the ones who survive don't come back the same person," Porlyusica told him. "Now I must leave," the medical advisor then left the hall.

"No, Natsu can't die," Happy cried.

"Damn it whoever did this is gonna pay," Elfman shouted.

The guild was in disarray hearing that Natsu could die from the Curse Mark.

"Gramps, we need to find the guy and take him down," Gray shouted.

"Gray, I know you want to avenge Natsu but we don't know where this man you guys fought is," Makarov told him, Gray froze realizing that Makarov was right. "We don't even know this man's name, all we can do is hope Natsu survives,"

"Master," Erza then wiped her tears "Master is right, Natsu is strong I know he'll pull through,"

Lucy nodded " Yeah, Natsu wouldn't let something like this put him down,"

"Right," Wendy wiped away her tears.

"For now we have to stay hopeful and believe he'll make it," Erza told everyone and they all nodded.

"We should also do some research on this curse mark, to see if there is a way to reverse it," Levy said "I'll head to the library to see if there is anything,"

"I'll help Levy-chan," Lucy said.

"We must focus on helping Natsu however we can," Makarov told everyone and he then looked down grimly "Or prepare ourselves for the worst,"

"Master," Erza said.

The guild was doing its best to heal Natsu and do their research on Curse Marks.

…

"Why the interest in Natsu Dragneel. Orochimaru," Ultear asked.

"Oh you have an interest in my research, that's a surprise Ultear-san," Orochimaru responded.

"Quite, I just want to know your reasoning why give that man such power," Ultear asked.

Orochimaru smirked "Let's say he's like someone from my past,"

Ultear scoffed "And how are you sure he'll survive your curse mark,"

"Hmm, who knows," Orochimaru responded "But let's say, I want to see how it will turn out this time, will the past repeat itself once again or will he take a different path,"

Ultear scoffed and walked away "You really are weird,"

...

"Damn it there's nothing here," Lucy shouted as she went through the books.

"Hows Natsu," Mira asked Wendy.

"His fever's gone down, but he's still in pain," Wendy said seeing Natsu shaking in pain, "Please Natsu-niisan hang in there,"

"Is there anything else about this man you fought," Makarov asked?

Erza nodded "Yes, it seems he was only after Natsu,"

"What," Makarov's eyes widened. "Are you sure,"

Gray nodded "Yeah, he was only after Natsu,"

"What did this guy want with Natsu," Elfman asked.

Erza shook her head "We don't know, but it seems he wanted to test Natsu's power,"

"Natsu's power? Why though." Evergreen questioned.

"We don't know, but he said something about Natsu having a hidden power, something called the Sharingan," Erza told them and Makarov's eyes widened.

"Sharingan? What is that?" Mira asked them.

"We don't know, we thought you may know Master," Erza answered,

"I only heard stories of it, but yes," Makarov quickly responded.

"Well, what is it," Gray asked.

"Legends say that thousands of years ago there was a clan of powerful warriors known as the Uchiha," Makarov said.

"Uchiha, that's what that man called Natsu," Erza thought, thinking back to the fight.

"The Uchiha possessed great power and were feared by countless, they possessed a power only unique to them, the Sharingan," Makarov explained."A powerful dojutsu,"

"Dojutsu? So it's Eye Magic," Lisanna said.

Makarov nodded "In a way, but it is not something that can be learned but there is a curse behind those eyes,"

"A curse?" Erza's eyes widened.

Makarov nodded "Yes, it says that the Sharingan is born from hatred,"

"Hatred," Lucy shook.

"Yes, it is said that a Curse of Hatred will forever follow those who possess the Sharingan," Makarov said grimly.

"A Curse of Hatred," Erza shivered.

"If Natsu is a descendent of the Uchiha clan then I fear for his future," Makarov said. "I had hoped that power would have never reawakened within him, but it seems I was foolish believing I can keep it dormant," he said in his thoughts.

"That won't happen to Natsu, I'll make sure of it," Erza shouted.

"Erza," Makarov said.

"Yeah, I don't know what that Curse of Hatred is, but I won't let it happen to Natsu," Gray shouted and the other guild members nodded in agreement.

"Yeah," Happy said.

Makarov smiled "You are all truly kind children, for now, we must have hope for Natsu's survival,"

The whole guild nodded. Then the silence was broken.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

A loud scream erupted in the guild, and they heard loud sounds of things breaking, windows shattering. The noise stopped and everyone realized it was from the infirmary.

"Natsu," Erza shouted.

…

In an empty white space stood Natsu, he looked around in confusion.

"What is this," Natsu questioned.

Natsu continued to look around in confusion, his gaze then fell upon another figure who appeared out of nowhere right in front of him.

"Who is that," Natsu said.

Natsu got a closer look at the figure, it looked like him but the notable difference was that the figure was engulfed in dark red flames.

"Is that me," Natsu said shocked.

"You are weak," the figure said coldly.

"What," Natsu's eyes widened.

"you can't do anything," the figure continued. "You are weak and pathetic,"

"Huh," Natsu said.

"You don't even remember, your true mission," the figure mocked him. "All you do is lazily hang around with those idiots at the guild, they distract me,"

"My true mission," Natsu shook. It was then flashes of a young man in black went through his mind.

The figure smiled evilly and looked at Natsu "Yes, how are you ever going to kill him? You are too weak, you have no power," the figure shouted. "If only I have power, power is everything that's the only way I can kill him," the figure then tore a part of his face revealing the pale man he fought before "If only I had power,"

It was then Natsu felt himself be consumed by dark purple energy that swirled around him.

…

"Natsu," Erza and her team barged into the infirmary, and to her shock, she saw Natsu on the ground. Not only that the infirmary was destroyed, the beds, the floor and the window all destroyed. Erza then ran up to Natsu and checked his pulse and to her relief he's alive.

Lucy signed in relief "Thank goodness he's okay,"

Wendy cried "He's okay,"

Natsu slowly began to regain consciousness "Guys, what happened,"

"Natsu," Happy jumped into Natsu "Thank goodness, you're okay,"

"Natsu," Gray said in relief.

Natsu grasped the side of his head "Uhh, my head,"

"Natsu are you okay," Erza asked him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a headache and some pain, but I feel fine," Natsu answered.

"Thank goodness," Mira smiled "Just wait I'll get you something to eat,"

"Thank you, Mira," Natsu said.

The rest of the guild was in relief that Natsu was okay, but something was off something only Makarov felt.

"What is this, what is this dark shadow covering Natsu," Makarov thought, feeling something dark coming from Natsu, it was faint but it felt powerful.
