Hey what's up guys? Sorry for not really updating, but eh, I've been in Iceland for a while. So yeah, that was fun, I took a few days to really think out my story, and I most certainly know where I want to go with it, but my real question, where do you guys want me to go? What do you want to see? What do you want to read in this story? Of course, if prefer if it were in reason and if possible, you had a way to incorporate it into the story. I've already had people ask and those ideas are getting put in, because they were just too good not to put in. But yeah, and ideas? On with the chapter!

Natsu surveyed the members of the guild around him. Somehow, it had been decided the previous night that he would lead the charge. He shook his head and sighed. He had no business now but he imagined that his friends would appreciate the help. He glared at the new doors that were set up. He smirked at the small dents in the wall where he'd thrown Gajeel. The new doors looked to be thicker, not that it would make a difference. He grinned as he felt all the people in the guild. Maybe he could let himself relax a bit this way. Makarov quickly sent him the signal and suddenly the doors were gone, blown straight off their hinges once again. Natsu grinned as his guild streamed into the guild past him. He let them pass him before seeing Makarov who was slowly walking in the back. He had what Natsu assumed to be his Wizard Saint coat on and exuded a calm aura. Natsu hoped things would go fine but his intuition was telling him that something would go wrong.

A few minutes later his suspicions were confirmed. Something had happened to Makarov. Where he had previously felt the older man's magic power, he now felt nothing. He brushed off an attack from his current enemy and quickly dispatched them with a well placed kick. He had to make his way up to the top floor of the guild. On the way, he passed a few of his friends. Erza seemed to be handling a fire user while Mirajane and Elfman were taking on the strange green haired man. Gray was being followed by a strange blue haired woman. He seemed to be freaked out. Natsu shrugged it off as he made his way to the top floor. He casually blew a hole through the roof and hopped up to find a man with some sort of bandage or blindfold over his eyes. He seemed to be crying? Natsu ignored it and instead made his way over to the master. He glanced at the other strange looking man who he assumed to be the guild leader.

"And who might you be?" the man asked as Natsu shot a small bit of magic into Makarov. Some of the color returned but Natsu was worried it might not be enough. He ignored the guild master and picked up Makarov before hopping back down the new hole he'd created. Strange. They'd just let him go. Oh well. He had other problems to deal with. He just had to get Makarov to the infirmary and if needed, he could deal with the rest of the guild himself. On his way, he gathered his fellow guild members. Most of them lost all fighting spirit when they saw Makarov in Natsu's arms.


Natsu pulled the master into the bed. He seemed to be doing marginally better. Natsu glanced over his shoulder and pressed a finger onto the older mans temple. He pulsed his magic briefly and watched as a bit more color started to return. If it was just his magic container being empty, Natsu could fix that. He was lost in thought when his ear twitched and the sound of some grumbly old lady cut through his thoughts. She smelled a bit like a dragon but Natsu couldn't put his finger on it. Her hair was a vivid pink and she seemed cranky. Natsu briefly registered her tell him to get lost and he shrugged. He pulsed his magic again and saw Makarov visibly relax as magic began to flow through him. Natsu caught the hand that was going to smack and and proceeded on his way out. His ear twitched as he heard her mutter something about smelly humans and a dragon. He shrugged it off. Wasn't his place to judge.

Before anything else happened, he needed to fill in Gildarts. The man in question was sitting near a barrel of alcohol. He watched as Natsu approached and gestured for him to fill him in. It wasn't a long story though they both speculated that the other guild master (who Natsu now knew to be Jose Porla) must have been to weak to beat Makarov alone and gotten one of their other members to help. Natsu rolled his eyes while he was talking. He hated cowards. Gildarts quickly saw him off and went over to talk to someone else about the new plan.

Natsu meanwhile wanted to talk to someone else. He quickly strolled out of the hall and into the forest where he quickly held open his palm and channeled a bit of magic. A makeshift screen of flame appeared and Natsu saw the image of a cave. He noted Igneel and what he thought was the white tail of another dragon but he just shook his head and brushed it off. Wasn't his business.

"Heya Dad do you have a second?" Natsu asked, sitting down against a tree.

"I can make time," Igneel said gruffly, "What's up?"

"Met Metalicana's kid," Natsu said as he thought about Gajeel, "He was pretty annoying but he wasn't strong or anything."

Igneel blinked, "What's gotten into you brat?"

Natsu shook his head, "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I didn't have this problem with other dragons but for some reason I am with the slayers. I'm not sure if it's all of them but I know it was with Gajeel."

Igneel started to laugh which caused Natsu to look at him indignantly, "Found yourself a mate have you?"

"What?" Natsu asked, blinking, "When would I have done that?"

"Don't ask me that," Igneel rumbled."

"Well tell Metalicana that his kid is a brat," Natsu said upon feeling a large magic power near the guild, "I gotta go!"

Natsu whipped his hand upwards and the small screen disappeared. Natsu ran back to the guild to see a giant clunking, and motile guild hall aiming one giant ass canon at the small group of mages around the guildhall. Natsu saw the cannon charge up and saw two particular mages standing in front of it, one with red flowing hair and one with stark white hair in a pony tail. Natsu thought the second one looked quite nice with her hair like that. He groaned.

"Shut up," Natsu said to himself. Natsu walked forward and waited for a moment before the afore mentioned canon shot a piercing beam of magic energy right at the group of mages. Erza slammed two giant gauntlets with large shields- which were a good bit larger than herself- and a giant green magic circle appeared. Mira had put her hand on Erza's shoulder and was focusing magic into her, making the green barrier grow larger.

Natsu waited until the beam fired and dashed in front of it, placing one arm in front of him and holding his palm out in front of him. Natsu felt the beam hit the center of his palm but his natural magic aura and a bit of crash magic stopped it in its tracks, halting all progress it had made. After a good minute, the beam finally stopped and Natsu hadn't moved an inch. The rest of the guild stared in shock, it would have taken at least two normal S-class mages to stop it, even more if they didn't want to be completely out of magic energy, and yet there stood one eighteen-year-old kid had just casually held his hand out and stopped it.

Erza and Mira had long since dropped the shield before one of the gauntlets came flying at him, then it's twin sibling followed it and they both slammed into the dragon slayer.

"YOU IDIOT! What were you thinking?" Mira yelled. She had taken both of Erza's gauntlets and thrown them at him, which ironically caused more damage than the giant beam of concentrated magic.

"Calm down, that thing couldn't do anything anyway. Like honestly my magic can be more potent than that entire shot and that's only for a simple roar," Natsu laughed as if he hadn't just pulled off something that only a few wizard saints and less than a handful of mages could do.

"Alright you little brats, if you will kindly stay still for the next… Let's see, what? The time you idiot, no not for the… NEVERMIND, I'll do it myself," A voice came from the guild, taking a second before coughing and resuming, "Ah yes, if you'll stay there for the next five minutes and wait for this lovely Jupiter cannon to recharge so I can send you all to your doom, that'd be great. Goodbye!"

"For trying to kill several dozen people, he seems pretty cheerful, doesn't he?" Mira asked rhetorically.

"Give me a second to take care of that little peashooter of his, then you guys can rush the thing or whatever you feel like, right?" Natsu asked as he turned towards the canon. Natsu took a breath before spewing out a thin stream of flames. The flames, unlike a normal ranged fire attack stayed in a thin concentrated line. Most others would have fanned out slowed and spread by the air and wind, but not these flames. The flames traveled, 100 feet, still going, 200 feet, hadn't fanned out, 300 feet, already melting the metal that was dozens of feet away. 500 feet, through the guild hall and canon like a hot knife through butter, and yet it kept traveling. Natsu cut the magic flow and it finally started to flow out.

Molten metal dripped from the canon and the red hot, gaping hole in the hall didn't help either. At once, several of the mages ran towards the guild hall, jumping in and attacking whoever was in sight. It didn't take long for Natsu to notice the growing magic powers and a metal beam shoot through the hole. If Gajeel wasn't going to listen, then so be it. Natsu tried to stop him, but it couldn't be helped now. Natsu jumped into the robotic guild hall as well, catching a giant metal beam that was shot at him. The beam broke into small cubes that bounced around aimlessly.

"Look who showed up! Now I might as well show you up flame freak," Gajeel laughed, his arm turning into a large sword. Gajeel lunged at Natsu who sidestepped the attack and let Gajeel rush past him. Gajeel had been expecting something and threw his arm back, the blade extending ever so slightly. It brushed Natsu's chest but didn't do any damage, despite being razor sharp.

"Cut it out would ya?" Natsu asked agitatedly, "I told you not to show."

"You told me not to harm any of your friends. I'm here for you," Gajeel smirked as he sent a volley of spears at the fire dragon slayer who ducked under it and then tucked his body into a roll to avoid Gajeel who had jumped into the air and was trying to bring his fist down. Natsu and Gajeel kept playing the game of cat and mouse until Natsu got bored. He let Gajeel hit him before slamming his fist into his gut. Gajeel curled over and Natsu brought his knee up, letting the metal dragon slayers head slam into it. Natsu launched him into the air and jumped after him, before smashing his fist into the other dragon slayers face, sending Gajeel flying into the wall. Gajeel took a few seconds to pull himself out of the hole that had been created by his body.

"Not bad, but I'm not done yet," Gajeel growled as he picked up a piece of metal from the floor and shoved it into his mouth. The effects were immediate as his skin started to turn gray and resemble metal scales that covered his body. He slowly glowed a bit green as well, which Natsu thought was a bit odd, but pain no attention to it.

"Get ready because here I come," Gajeel laughed. Natsu was getting bored so decided to end it quick. Gajeel rushed Natsu and tried to catch him with a right hook but Natsu tilted his body to the left and nailed him with a left straight in a show of speed and power. Gajeel was defenseless as the attack came and got hit, which sent him flying into a wall, unconscious. Natsu always was rather strong, even without magic. Natsu went over to the only remaining spike of magic power. Natsu walked into the room and saw Mira and Elfman, both with large burns. There was that fire guy too, what was his name Natsu wondered. Was it Totem? He felt like it was totem.

"Hey Totem!" Natsu said, "What did you do to my friends?"

"Totomaru, and they fought me. Must say, the pretty one put up a good fight until her… is that her brother?" he said, Natsu nodded, "Yeah until her brother showed up at the wrong time. She took several hits because of him. What a shame, I was kinda hoping not to hurt her too much, we could have had fun."

Natsu didn't say anything, and he really didn't need to. The sudden pressure that Totomaru felt was enough to pin him to the floor. A golden flame seeped from Natsu's body and shot over to Mira and Elfman, healing the burns and wounds.

"Yo- you- You're a f-fire mage," Totomaru struggled, still under the affects of the magical pressure.

"Damn right, the best in Fiore," Natsu growled.

"Not true, that title belongs to me, I'll show you the ultimate fire magic," he said. Natsu dropped the pressure and let him stand; he was going to enjoy beating the shit out of him. Totomaru stood up and growled before lighting his hands on fire and conjuring a fireball full of different colors.

"BEHOLD! The rainbow fire! The ultimate fire and the one that every other flame stems from!" Totomaru said launching it at Natsu. Natsu stood there for a second and stepped out of the way only for the magic to stop in its tracks and shoot right at him again.

"Paired with my Fire Kinesis, I'm unstoppable!" Totomaru laughed.

Natsu stayed silent for a moment before opening his mouth and devouring the flames. They weren't… bad tasting, just kinda… okay? Was that the word? Natsu swiped his arm against his mouth and laughed, "Oh that's cute. You really think the rainbow fire is the ultimate flame? You're wrong. I'll show you the original flames."

Natsu held his hand out and a pure, snowy white flame burst to life in his palm. He tossed it around for a second, before tossing it to Totomaru who tried to control it, only for it to explode in his face.

"Nice try, it'll only obey a proper fire user. You obviously are not one," Natsu laughed. Totomaru picked himself up and dashed forward, trying to attack Natsu with his flames. Natsu slipped one leg back and set himself in a light stance. As soon as he was five feet away, Natsu leapt forward and brought his knee up, nailing Totomaru in the gut. Natsu raced after and grabbed him out of the air, slamming him into the ground. Blood dripped from Totomaru's mouth as he pulled himself up, barely. Natsu turned around and walked away to go check on the two Strauss siblings. Totomaru struggled to pull himself up but eventually managed. As soon as he did so, he formed a small ball of fire in his hand and threw it at Natsu. The moment it left his hand, the ball stopped.

"Nice try. Weren't you listening," Natsu growled before holding his hand out. The ball of flames flew toward him and he caught it, compressing it into a small ball. Natsu turned around to look at the siblings who were completely healed and tossed the ball over his shoulder. It exploded a moment after, sending Totomaru into another room, unconscious. Natsu grabbed Mira and Elfman before jumping out of the hole in the wall. Natsu landed lightly, using a little bit of magic to lighten the fall as to not jostle his "passengers" too much. Natsu handed them both off to members of the guild who had stayed on the ground, chiefly Cana and Alzack. Natsu the jumped up the guild hall and up to the top floor. Apparently, their master had been completely untouched.

Natsu punched a hole into the wall and walked through. He saw the purple haired man sitting on the ground, apparently waiting. Natsu walked up to him and plopped himself down right in front of him, sitting with his legs crossed. With Makarov out of the picture for the minute, Natsu figured it best to take manners into his own hands. Besides, this Jose guy seemed annoying and he'd only fought the pushover iron dragon slayer and a half cocked fire mage. He wanted to stretch his legs, even if it was only a little.

"So…" Natsu started, "Why'd you attack our guild?"

"Isn't it obvious? To prove that we're the number one guild in Fiore," he said nonchalantly.

"That's dumb," You were literally about to just murder a group of at least twenty people. There are plenty of ways to prove it and not kill people," Natsu said.

"Bah! Nonsense, people only respect true power. The power to make people cower and hide. And to do that, you must kill someone," he said.

"So it's completely reasonable to kill someone in the name of power then?" Natsu asked, trying to set Jose up.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Jose asked annoyed.

"Of course I did, I just wanted that out there. Any who… I was thinking, I wanna a display of power," Natsu said.

"You're more than welcome to join our guild then? You single handedly took down Gajeel, Totomaru, and disarmed our canon with one move," he said, "Power like yours would be respected. Everyone would fear you, nobody would dare do anything to you."

"Ah but where's the fun in that? I was thinking we fight to the death, you know, causes it's perfectly fine," Natsu said, yawning, "I mean what better way to show true power than to kill a wizard saint, right?"

"That's… I did say that. You got guts kid, I'll give you that. Not many new mages will go and challenge a freaking wizard saint for their first real battle, so why not? You interest me quite a bit," Jose said.

"Sorry man, you're a bit… old. And I don't swing that way," Natsu said.

"For that little comment, I'll be sure to make your death long and painful, though back in the day, I would have done the same I suppose," Jose said. Jose assumed a light stance and Natsu stood there, waiting. Jose was smart, he hadn't rushed in at the first notice.

Natsu started it off, moving forward towards the saint. Jose stayed there, so Natsu decided he was going to make the first move. Natsu whipped forward, putting his weight into the front of his body and extending his arm, trying to send Jose flying. Jose wasn't a saint for nothing though and slipped down under Natsu, trying to perform a right uppercut but Natsu simply planted his leading foot and flipped over the attack, spinning in the air so he would be facing his opponent.

Jose stood up before darting forward and sending a right straight strait for Natsu's gut. Natsu stood there and let himself beat hit before headbutting the saint. Natsu tried to move but for a second couldn't. It only took him a second to be off, once again at the saint's throat.

"I put a magic circle on you though," Jose said before being launched. He flipped his body and landed on his feet and skidding.

"Oh, is that what it was? Natsu asked, looking down at his stomach, a faint purple circle glowing away. Natsu took a second and looked at it, ducking under the small burst of magic that Jose had sent at him. Natsu tapped the circle once and it faded.

Natsu looked up and threw himself to the floor to avoid the giant purple tornado headed straight for him. Natsu saw that Jose's eyes had turned from their normal dots to a dark shade of gray.

"Shade: Jellyfish!' he shouted, a large ethereal purple jellyfish appearing around him. He lashed out using tow of the long tentacles gifted to him by the form. Natsu ducked and dodged around them, but two more of the tentacles formed and began to attack him. Natsu raced to the back of the room, still avoiding the tentacles. Natsu leapt onto the wall before using it as a springboard and leaping to the ceiling.

Jose was getting a bit tired off all the dodging and dropped the jellyfish form. He whipped his right arm out and several ghosts appeared, circling around him. He shaped them into various forms before sending them at Natsu. Natsu let them come and they simply melted in front of him, not being able to reach them. Natsu got bored and held out his left hand and racing forward.

He held out his hand and a small blade of fire formed around his hand. Natsu slashed it forward and the shades dissolved, seemingly absorbed into the blade. Natsu leapt past the new reforming shades and flipped himself, planting his feet into Jose's chest. Jose, quick as ever, whipped out a small dagger and tried to stab it into Natsu's ankles, which would immobilize him. Only it didn't work because dragon slayers have reinforced skin and bones and things like that.

The blade shattered, leaving a slightly annoyed dragon slayer. Natsu whipped forward, tucking his body into a roll and dodging past Jose. Jose responded by throwing a kick right at where Natsu would be. Natsu kept his body slightly curled and let himself keep going, waiting for a second. As soon as Natsu had his back to the floor, he extended both of his legs and planted them right into Jose's legs, sending the saint off balance.

Natsu took the few seconds he had to stand up and once again rushed forward and slam his fist into Jose who was still slightly off balance. Jose was a bit smarter this time and bent back before kicking up his legs and hitting Natsu. Jose put as much magic as his legs could handle as to blast Natsu away.

Natsu got pushed up into the air and flipped, landing on his feet, but Jose had gotten right back up and dashed towards Natsu, using his Shade: Dead wave to send a beam of shade magic at Natsu. Natsu got knocked back a bit, getting knock off balance which was what Jose needed. Natsu back pedaled for a second before letting himself drop to the ground. He landed on his back right as Jose threw a punch which flew over Natsu. Natsu curled his lower body up and planted his hands into the floor behind him.

He pushed himself up and slammed his legs into Jose. Natsu was getting a bit bored. Natsu figured it was better to end it fast, so he did. Natsu raced towards Jose and disappeared right as he got in front of Jose. Natsu reappeared behind him and slammed his fist down into Jose's back. Natsu's feet touched the ground and he was oof again, appearing under the airborne saint. Natsu kicked both of his legs up and sent him flying again.

Natsu kept bashing him around before he finally started go out the window. Natsu rushed out, leaping out of the hole above Jose. Jose briefly registered Natsu bringing his legs down in an axe kick, sending him down into the ocean below. Natsu used the kick as a spring board and propelled himself back into the guild.

Natsu let Jose hit the ocean, a loud splash and a few cracking and snapping sounds ensued. He was done now. Natsu made his way down to the rest of the guild.

"Okay guys, so we're done, right?" Natsu asked. Everyone collectively nodded and headed back into the guild doing whatever, waiting for the council to arrive and set things right with Phantom Lord.
