Author's Note:I would like to thank those who reviewed, fav and followed me for the last chapter, I was suspecting it to go off so well. It was my first time doing a non-Harry Potter story and I didn't know if people would like my Fairy Tail centred story, but within the first few hours I got 6 reviews, 25 Favs and 37 Follows, and that was within three or so hours of being posted. And with the first twenty-four hours of it being posted I had 18 Reviews, 65 Favs and 87 Follows. I'm so glad that you like the story, especially seeing that this is the first ever Fairy Tail/Overlord story or at least that I have seen. Now onto the new chapter…

For those who haven't read in my other works, I'll say it now, I am a dyslexic and I had a bad schooling, so unless I can find a good Beta Reader, other than other problems, you see bad spelling and grammar. So please forgive me for this. But I would like to ask that if you are a Beta Reader who is willing to add things to the story, please let me know. I'm after someone who can add things to the story, and not only the odd corrections for spelling and grammar, but able to add detail to the story. If you can't do it but know someone who can, please let me know.

Chapter One…

(The Minion Master…)

21st of June x782 - Magnolia Town:

Walking down the streets of Magnolia Town, Natsu who was carrying a crying Happy, they were near the exit of the town when, a sobbing Happy spoke for the first time since they left Fairy Tail Guild Hall, "I-I'm going to miss mum."

"So am I bud, so am I." a tearful Natsu admitted to his best friend/son, "I finally started to realize how much I care for her, how much, how much I loved her, and now I'm unable to tell her this."

"Wh-What are we going to do now?" Happy asked his father and best friend.

"I don't know," Natsu sigh as he thought about it, "I don't want to go back to the Guild, but I don't know what else to do."

"Than don't," Happy told his friend, "I didn't like how they treated you back there, leave and never go back there."

"I don't either mate pal," Natsu told the blue cat, "but I have no real money to leave the area, the house we have I build myself, and the money we make is for our food, unless we caught it ourselves, the odd things we might need and the rest of the money we get goes onto the repairs to the building I destroy."

"So what are we going to do now?" Happy asked once again, not wanting to go back to Fairy Tail after how they treated his 'father.'

"I don't know buddy," Natsu sighed once again, as they left the town, and was heading towards the forest for the night, "but I think you and I use the little money we have and get away from here for a few days to think. But I think unless something comes up though, I'm afraid that we might just coming back here. As I don't think no one else would have us."

"I might be able to help you young Master." someone with a deep old voice said behind them.

As Happy and Natsu turned round to see who was talking to them, they saw no one, until they hear a small cough. Looking down they saw an old small grey Gremlin like creature, with yellow eyes, and grey hair and small beard. "Who are you?" Natsu asked the strange creature.

"I am Gnarl, the Minion Master for the Overlord, Master." the strange creature now known as Gnarl told Natsu.

"Who or what is the Overlord, and why are you calling me Master." Natsu asked confused.

"An Overlord is the Overlord of Evil." Gnarl said as if it explained it all.

"Does that mean that this Overlord controls all evil?" asked Happy.

"It isn't as easy as that, but in essence in time yes the Overlord controls most evil," the Minion Master told Happy and Natsu, "the Overlord truly can't control all evil, otherwise they wouldn't be true evil. Evil is all about betrayal and backstabbing, those who are evil always will fight those who in control of said evil, wanting to be in control themselves. So the Overlord is constantly fighting to keep his power."

Natsu found this somewhat interesting, and in the mood he was in, he didn't care about talking to someone who seemed to be the bad guy, something as a Fairy Tail often fought against. "And the reason you called me Master?" Natsu asked the minion, although he suspected what was coming but wanting to hear it from Gnarl himself.

"Because you are the new Overlord Master." Gnarl told Natsu.

Now normally he would tell the minion where to get off, seeing he wasn't evil, nor would he be interested in the idea. But with everything that had happened that day, he needed something to keep his mind off it all. The less he thought about Lisanna's death, the less he felt the lost of her and not knowing what to do next.

"But why me?" Natsu asked in interest, "No offence but I normal catch the bad guys for rewards, not become one. So why would you pick me as your new Master?"

"Aye." Happy agreed.

"To be honest I do not know." the old minion, knowing that he can't really force this.

This is the one thing that he hated, all the years most of the Overlords he served were outright evil already in one form or another and was willing to be the Overlord, and there were the few that were left for dead or near to death before being brought to him, and had no memories of their past and went with the flow or they wanted revenge.

But then there were those who were on the side of good, these one confused the hell of him, why Tower Heart or as it now called the Nether Heart pick them he never could understand. As almost all of the time they turned down the Overlordship, as they were too bloody heroic, than the rare few who agreed to it because they were at a bad point in their life for some reason, and decided to try being evil for once. Some fully embraces the Overlording, and became wonderful evil Overlords, but then there was a few that couldn't fully embraces evil, and used their Overlording for somewhat good deeds. This sickened the old Minion Master.

So Gnarl decided that when he found a potential Overlord that was a hero, he would be honest, as much as it sickened him to do it, about any questions they had. That way that both of them could get on with things, and Gnarl could find a true evil Overlord to take up the banger of the Overlord.

"The Netherworld Tower, where I came from, is somewhat sentient Master," explained the Minion Master, "and with the little magic that it has left, it can inform me of a new potential Overlord who can help us regain the power the Tower needs. And you for some reason are the latest potential Overlord to be found Master."

Now on any other day, like not listening to this minion, Natsu would not even think about agreeing to becoming this Overlord. But the problem is that with everything that is going that night, he was really considering in doing this, becoming this Overlord. Since he joined Fairy Tail, he fraught against bandits and other Dark Mages, not once did he think about becoming one.

But now though, he realized it might not have been the right thing to do, as whilst he did these things, his Guild often looked down on him, acting as he was stupid, and make fun of him. Without Lisanna there, there was no reason for him to go back, or to live if he was honest with himself. Maybe this new change was something he needed?

"Before I decide, I need to know, well you give me the training to make me stronger, and able to control my powers?" Natsu asked Gnarl.

Gnarl was shocked here, he thought that someone like this person would turn the position of Overlord when he heard that he would be evil, many heroes had done in the past. He must of came at a time when his person had hit rock bottom, but he feared that this person could be one of the heroes that might use the Overlord powers for good. But seeing that this potential Overlord seemed want to take the role up, he had to take this to the end. And who knows, this new Overlord might not turn out like the other heroes from the past.

"Yes we can give you the training you need," Gnarl told Natsu, "we don't want a weak Overlord."

Natsu turned to Happy and asked, "So what do you think buddy? Should we do this? I won't do this if you won't follow me."

"Will there be fish?" Happy asked the Minion Master, thinking about his favourite food.

The Minion Master looked at the talking cat strangely, there was something about him that he knew about the cat, something important. Whatever it was, the Minion Master would have to look through his books when he got back to the Netherworld Tower. "Once we find the Blue Minions, we can get you as many fish as you can eat." Gnarl told the blue cat.

"Why do you need to find these Blue Minions to get the fish?" asked Happy.

"Other than the Blues, the rest of the minions can't swam," the old minion told Happy, "so unless you want to get them yourself, we can't get the fish until we found them. But once we get them, we can get as many as you like, so much that you could never run out."

"Natsu, let's go, let's find those Blue Minions, so I can get the fish." Happy said excitedly.

Natsu just smiled at his friend/son, yeah getting that much fish would make up Happy's mind about going, which Natsu was happy about. As nothing was left for him here, and so was more than happy to leave Magnolia Town and start anew. So with a sigh, Natsu said, "You've got yourself a new Overlord Gnarl," Natsu told the Minion Master, "my name is Natsu and my friend here is Happy."

"Great Sire," the Minion Master told the two, somewhat excited and worried about getting the new Overlord on his side, "now we should get start walking before it gets too dark. We've got a few days of walking ahead of us."

"Where are we going?" asked Natsu as the three of started to walk, on in Happy's case, flew.

"Shirotsume Town," Gnarl told the Dragon Slayer, "just outside of the there's a hidden Netherworld Gate that'll take us to your new home."

"Isn't there another way to get us there?" asked Natsu, as landed on his shoulder, "The same way that you got here?"

"Sadly no," Gnarl said with a sigh, before he went on to explain, "I took a Minion Gate to get here, which the name suggests, is gates for minions only. There used to be a Tower Gate around here, but it is inactive because of the lack of power the Netherworld Tower has got right now. Although Netherworld Gate are better to use, as unlike Tower Gate, they regain one power and begin to help you should you be injured. Not only that, but once the Netherworld Tower is fully powered, we can have a Netherworld Gate appear anyway in the world as long as the land is flat enough for one."

"You keep on about power, what is this power you need?" Natsu asked the old minion, "And how do you know this Netherworld Gate will work?"

"I'll explain every once we get back to the Tower, as it is unsafe to say more out here where anyone can hear us." the Minion Master explained to Natsu, "As for will the Netherworld Gate work, it should do, as over the years will give certain gates power to run for a few years, so that should we find a new Overlord, we can bring them back to the Tower. In this case, the nearest active gate is outside of Shirotsume Town."

"Once we get back to this Tower of yours, is there a way to find out why I was picked for the role of Overlord?" Natsu asked in interest, as he was wondering why he was picked for an evil role when until now he done nothing but good.

"Once you take up the power of the Overlordship, we should soon find out why you were picked." Gnarl told Natsu.

And without another word the three of them continued on with their journey to Shirotsume Town, and little did those know back at Fairy Tail, but a new greater evil would soon be awakened. And it would be all down to their foolish actions towards Natsu.

And then…

23rd of June x782 - Fairy Tail Guild Hall:

It has been two days since Natsu Dragneel left Fairy Tail, it was somewhat a sober time for them because of Lisanna's death. The funeral would be in the next few days, as they were waiting for the Guild Master to return from the latest Guild Meeting with the other Guild Masters. But it was more quiet than normal, and people put it down to Natsu not being there, trying to pick fights with people at the guild to see who was the strongest is. Sure they'll always be fights, but not as much with Natsu.

As the Guild seat around quietly drinking, and comforting the reminding Strauss Siblings, the guild doors opened to reveal an extremely short, elderly man. He had black eyes, with white hair and thick white mustache. He was wearing a white shirt which had the guild's mark in the centre of it which was black, he was also wearing an orange shorts and hoodie, and a blue and orange striped jester's hat. He was the Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar.

As he entered his Guild and saw the mood, he asked, "What happened here?"

It was a young teen with long, scarlet hair and brown eyes, wearing an armour, a blue skirt, black boots, and diamond shaped silver earrings, Erza Scarlet, who explained what happened.

Once he was told what happened, Makarov was somewhat shocked not to see the Guild's Dragon Slayer, and had to ask, "Where's Natsu? Is he on a request or something?"

"The hot head has left Master." a young teen with spiky black-coloured hair, told the Guild Master. He was Gray Fullbuster, he had dark blue eyes, and his body is toned and muscular. He had nothing on other than a necklace, which resembles a sword with a stone in it, a metal bracelet and a pair of boxer shorts.

"Gray your clothes!" one of the Guild Member cried out.

"Damn it, when did that happen?" said a shocked Gray, as once again removed his clothes without realizing it and he didn't know where he placed them.

"What do you mean?" Makarov asked in surprise, he didn't think that Natsu would leave like that.

And it was Erza who explained what happened a few days ago, and to say that Makarov was upset, was an understatement. He could understand them being upset at how Natsu was acting, but he understood understand the young Dragon Slayer more. One of his two and only best friends were killed, so he would be upset at the young girl's death.

What upset him the most was that Erza told Natsu to leave and not to return until he apologized to Mirajane and Elfman, in the way he acted. And that the rest of the guild agreed with the Requip Mage, be it out of fear to what she would do to them if they didn't, or that they honestly agree with her. Sure Natsu was a bit out of line, but it was understandable, and he would suspect even he would react the same as Natsu if it happened to him. But the problem was that he believed that he knew Natsu well enough to know that the young man won't be returning for some time, as he believed he was right in his actions, and for this one time, Makarov believed the young Dragon Slayer was right too.

"You stupid brats," Makarov sighed at his children, "don't you understand what you did, more than likely Natsu won't ever come back."

"Not like that's a bad thing Master," Fullbuster said with a shrug, "it would only mean less damage around here. We all know that the flame brain is the main cause of most of the damage here and on requests as he can't control himself."

"And it's not like he won't ever come back," one of the guild members called out, "where else well he go? He has nowhere else to go, and sadly he'll be back."

"I hope you are right, Tang, I hope you are right, as I fear what will happen to Natsu if he don't come back." the old Guild Master sighed again, "But didn't any of you thought about his feelings? I'm not saying that he was right how he acted, same with how you lot acted wasn't right, but his actions can be understood. He had just lost his only friend other than Happy, so yes he would leash out the way he did. As much as you and Mirajane don't want to hear this Elfman, but Natsu is right, you are at fault for Lisanna's death." Makarov looked at the Strauss Siblings as he told them this sadly.

"You tried a Full Body Take-Over when you and I knew that you won't ready for such a thing." an upset Makarov told the young man who was sobbing, Elfman tried to explain his actions, but Makarov held his hand up to stop him talking. "I don't care if you thought you had no other choice, you should have ran or done something else. You knew that doing a Full Body Take-Over under such conditions was a bad move, as when you're not ready to do such a thing, the monster could control you for good or a short period of time. A Full Body Take-Over should only be done when you have others there to help you, to make sure you don't go on a rampage should the monster take control of you at first. As much as you might dislike it, I'm sorry to say that Natsu had every right to blame you for your sister's death. To be honest you should have taken him with you, as Lisanna might be alive today."

"But Master, he is weak and destructive, he would have done more damage than good." this came from Erza.

"Yeah, and the flame brain is stupid as hell." this came from Gray.

"More damage than The Beast himself?" Makarov asked the young woman coldly, "Natsu might not be as strong as you, Mirajane, and a few others, but he is stronger than Elfman and Lisanna. If he went with them, Lisanna might be here now." Than the Guild Master looked at Gray coldly, and said, "He might not be as smart as you and the others, but that's not for lack of trying to learn. He is only afraid to learn because of his experience with Erza, the way she taught him would put fear into anyone into learning. If that wasn't the case, he would be as smart as a normal child."

"Come on, Master, he believed he was raised by a dragon," one of the Guild Members called out, "how stupid can you get, we all know they have been extinct for hundred of years. If one was about, wouldn't we know about this by now?"

Makarov rubbed his eyes here, it is true that dragon's been extinct for hundreds of years, and that should there be one, people would have seen one by now. But the fact was, for Natsu to learn Dragon Slayer Magic without the aid of a Lacrima, the only way for him to learn it was to be taught by a real dragon. Which is why he knew that there was some truth behind Natsu's words, but he could understand why the others couldn't believe him, as no one had seen one for hundreds of years. The only thing close to dragons were the wyverns, but they couldn't talk like the dragons could, or at least as far as people knew they couldn't.

"It doesn't matter if he believed if he was raised by a dragon or not, he is a Fairy Tail Member and should be treated as such, but he wasn't." the old man told them sadly, "And I am partly to blame for that, as I didn't give him the time to help him as I should. But I always believed that you all should rely on yourself, and ask for help from other Guild Members, to build a better relationship with each other. As Fairy Tail meant to be a family, and should work and learn together, but sadly of late it isn't the case. So a few things have to change. The first is that should Natsu return, we'll have to treat him properly. Next we should anyone ask for help, we do so with bullying and without the threat of pain and fear being put into them." here he give knowing looks towards Erza and Mirajane, knowing what the two of them were like.

"Next, if you want to go to a next level and for example want to do a Full Body Take-Over or something just as dangerous, I want you to do so in a safe environment, and around those who can help should things go wrong, so that something like the death of Lisanna doesn't happen again." Makarov explained to the Guild, before he went on to say, "And lastly, if you have problems with anyone, I want you to come to me, as I don't want what happened to Natsu to happen with the rest of you."

There was a few shock faces at this, not sure what to think to this new announcement, but seeing that it came at a sad time, it was to be suspected. Some didn't like that the Master of Fairy Tail wanted Natsu back, as they thought things would be better without him around.

"Now I want Macao and Wakaba to search for Natsu as fast as possible," he told the two Guild Members, who seemed to didn't want to do this, but seeing the Master told them to do it, they had no real option but to do it, "as I don't want him to miss Lisanna's funeral. And I worried he might do something stupid if he is left alone for too long. Now let's prepare Lisanna's funeral, and make it one that would fit her as the member of Fairy Tail."

There were a few mutters of, "More stupider than normal," as people went off and started to help Lisanna's funeral, as Macao and Wakaba went to search for Natsu. Little did they know, but they would not find Natsu, and would not see him for a few years, and by then many things would be different.

And then…

23rd of June x782 - Shirotsume Town:

It had been a rough few days for Natsu, as a few hours after meeting the, the Minion Master, they came across a group of bandits loading a carriage with their gear. The Minion Master advice in knocking out the bandits, and take the horse and carriage for themselves, and so make it faster to get to Shirotsume Town. Natsu wanted nothing to do with the idea, but he was out voted by Happy and Gnarl, and so knocked the bandits out and took the horse and carriage and headed off to Shirotsume Town.

Whilst Natsu was out of it, he heard Gnarl say how pitiful it was for the new Overlord to have motion sickness. He also heard Happy asked why Gnarl wanted the bandits knocked out and not killed, as he thought that as someone who was evil they would want them dead. Gnarl explained that until Natsu became the new Overlord and get the gauntlet, they deaths would be wasteful. As once they get the gauntlet, he could gather the Lifeforce that came from killing them.

They got to Shirotsume Town early that morning, and now wearing cloaks that they got from the bandits, they were resting up at a small restaurant in town. As the group was eating something before moving on, Gnarl seemed to be in shock as he saw five short men, in a horse and carriage which had a huge orb, going towards the mansion at the top of the hill.

"It can't be." Gnarl said in surprise.

"What is it Gnarl?" asked Natsu, wondering what is so important about the orb.

"That orb, that's the Nether Heart."

To be Continued!

Author's Note: Here ends Chapter 1 of The Dragon Overlord, and I want you to thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'm still surprised that people seemed to like this story so much, but I am glad, and I hope you all keep on reading and reviewing, more reviews the better, as I know I am doing a great job at this new story of mine. I'll be honest with you all, I wasn't too happy about the start of the story, it is more or less how I wanted it to go, but the way it was written I was unhappy about, it doesn't feel right. I hope you like it more than I did…

Just a hint, but the title, The Dragon Overlord, is just a hint as to what I have planned for the story. There'll be a few twist and turns in the story, some of which, unless I talked you to in in replies to your reviews, I hope you enjoy and guess as to what will happen.

Got a question for you all, do you think that other than Natsu, should I have all the other Dragon Slayers as female? I know, perverted idea, but I would like your thoughts about it. I would also like to ask what girls would you like to see in the story, and ideas on how they could join Natsu.

Please know that any flames will be ignored, any guests reviews that aren't useful to make the story better, will be deleted! I am a dyslexic, and had a bad schooling so without a Co-Writer/Beta Reader, my spelling, grammar and the way things are written will not be as good as the rest of the work here. So please don't moan about this, as it can't be helped.

I'm still looking for a Co-Writer/Beta Reader to help me write this story, I want someone to talk to about ideas and suggestions about the part I'm writing and how to make it better. If you're only want to be a Beta Reader, I'm looking someone who is willing to alter things to make it better, even if it means deleting or rewriting it, or adding things to it. parts of it. So if you are interested, and you are a fan of Fairy Tail, knowing a lot of it, please leave a review or PM me.

Either thank you for reading this story, and I hope you'll leave a review letting me know what you think. As I would like your thoughts about my first ever Fairy Tail story, be it bad or good, so please leave a good length review. One thing I'm looking for are ideas for new Overlord Items, and how to add them. I hope you can help me out. So you know, I'm going back to Rise of Overlord Vulcan - Rewrite and do a chapter there before going back to this one. I have decided that I'll be going back and forth from that story to this story.

Overlord Log

Overlord Items:

Spell Stones: Got a few spell from Overlord that I'll use, but I would like ideas for more spells that I can use. So ideas are welcomed here.

Mana Pillars: Going to be called something like Power Pillars or something like that, which give the person as the name suggests, gives power to the Overlord.

Health Pillars: Not going to appear, as I can't see how I could use them.

Minion Totems: Not going to appear in the story, as I don't like the idea of limiting how many minions Natsu can use at a time. Not only that, I had no idea how to add them into the story.

Tower Heart: To follow the Followship of Evil, the Heart will now be called Nether Heart

Tower Smelters: Unlike the games, the first Smelter will still be at the tower.

Minion Hives:

Brown Hive: Like in the game it'll be in the tower.

Red Hive: Like the game not in the tower, in this story the Red Minions will be found near Sun Village.

Green Hive: Like the game not in the tower, but I am unsure where it'll be found, so ideas would be welcomed as to where to find it. Was thinking of some kind of swamp or something.

Blue Hive: Like the game not in the tower, in this story I was thinking they could be found on Galuna Island, unless you can think of another place for them to be found.
