The Dragon Overlord

by The Dark Dragen

Alternate start from when the Strauss Siblings go on the S-Class: What if instead of Elfman telling Natsu that he can't because it was his as the man of the family to protect them, but Mirajane Strauss, who tells Natsu, he is too weak and destructive to go with them and from there things changes for him. Overlord/Lemons/Dark/Powerful/Harem/Natsu Female/Zeref PLEASE READ & REVIEW!

11. Chapter 10

Author's Note:I would like to thank you all for review the last chapter and suspect there were a few of you don't like the idea of Natsu breaking Erza. But I thinking that she get more strong willed, more so with Natsu willing to kill people, as she take it in her place to stop him. She might gain more support for new OCs that I'm thinking about joining Fairy Tail to replace those who won't be there now because of Natsu's actions.

I'm willing to listen to your ideas to alter the plan, but you need to understand, as Natsu gets stronger and get more of a foot holding in become evil, he will become darker and evil. He is after the new Overlord, and to keep him as he is won't be Overlord like. The only reason he is the way he is now, is because he is still getting stronger, has no idea how to be true evil, and is learning what it means to be an Overlord. But over time he'll become dark and evil, and take over the world, and there will be those who'll try and stop him, one being Fairy Tail. But I would also like ideas of the evil acts he can do over time, from small time evil deeds, to the yeast of things, to full out evil deeds, where people fear him and such, for he is now the true Overlord of Evil.

Chapter Ten…

(Galuna Island - Part 3.)

14th of November 782 - Galuna Island, Moon Temple, Late Afternoon:

As Natsu and Happy arrived near to the Moon Temple, they were met by none other than Erza. And she didn't look happy at all, Natsu could sense the anger coming off her. "There you are Natsu," Erza said angrily, "I have been trying to find you all afternoon. You have to stop at the idea of killing these people, it is wrong."

"Wrong or not, this isn't you mission or your choice what I do," Natsu sneer at his former Guild Mate, "so back off before things get out of hand. Whilst I have no desire to hurt you, I will if you don't stop bossing me about, I'm no longer a Fairy Tail member."

"Whilst you keep our mark, it is my job to make sure you don't dishonour our name." Erza told him darkly, not like the idea of someone dishonouring her guild's name.

Natsu couldn't help but to laugh at this, as he said, "Me dishonouring Fairy Tail, don't make me laugh. You lot can do that yourself easily, I have heard what others thought of you behind your back. As for my mark, I keep it covered it so no one sees it, I keep it on as a reminder. A reminder to watch my back from others like you."

"How dare you," sneered Erza, who didn't like Natsu belittling her guild, "the guild has been nothing but kind to you, took you in and help you."

"Kind and help me?" Natsu asked sarcastically, "The guild might have taken me in, and cared for me. But being kind and helped me? Don't be funny." Natsu told her darkly, "The only one who ever been kind and helped me was Lisanna, and thanks to her brother, she is dead." Natsu knew it wasn't true, but the others didn't know this, "The rest of you made fun of me because you didn't believe me about my dad being a dragon, and you would never help me when I asked say I was weak, useless, dumb and so on."

"What foolness is this?" asked Erza, "I helped you to learn to read and write."

"You may have called that help but I call that torture," Natsu told her darkly, "you would punish me if I got something wrong, and you wouldn't let me sleep until I got it all right. The only time you let me rest was when I needed to eat and drink or when I needed the loo. If that's the kind of help you're talking about, then I don't want to be with the guild."

"Aye." Happy agreed with the Dragon Slayer, he was still upset about how Fairy Tail treated his father.

"Leaving Fairy Tail has been for the best, as I got the teaching and training I always wanted, and I have gotten stronger for it." Natsu happily informed the Requip Mage, "Now get out of my way, or I'll be forced to move you."

"It won't be as easy as before Natsu, as last time you shocked me, but now I know what I am dealing with." the Requip Mage informed the pink haired Mage, "Now I'm taking you back to the guild, and find out what these people you were with done with you, as you would never have thought about killing anyone."

Natsu just laughed at this, "Oh I would have done, as I was trained by my father to kill, as that's what Dragon Slayers really do, they kill, be it dragons or people." Natsu informed the bothersome Mage, "The only reason that I didn't is because I was a member of Fairy Tail, and I obeyed the Guild Rules. But now that I'm no longer in Fairy Tail, I have no such rules to hold me back."

"I don't believe that," Erza told him, "so I'm taking you back one way or another, and fix you."

Natsu sighed at this, it would seem that Erza was going to be more of a pain than normal, and he knew that he couldn't beat her in a fair fight just yet, as she had much more experience in fighting strong people thanks to being a S-Class Mage. He had no intention of going back to Fairy Tail, where he would have been kept weak and made fun of. So he had no other option then let a cat out of the bag, so turning to Happy he said with a sigh, "Happy, if you don't mind."

"Are you sure about this?" Happy asked, knowing what Natsu wanted, but knowing how he wanted to keep it a secret too.

"Yeah it is the only way." Natsu admitted to his son.

"And what can Happy do?" Erza asked suspiciously, "He is only a small cat that can only fly."

But a second later where Happy used to be was a fifteen year boy, with blue hair, with cat ears and tail. This shocked the young woman, as she wasn't suspecting anything like this, that Happy could become human. Was this just an illusion, or was Happy really able to do this?

This few moments of hesitation, was all Natsu needed to make his move and knocked the bitch out. Once he knocked her out, Natsu turned to Happy and said, "Pal, can you take her to the beach, and put her on the boat she was on and send her home please."

"What about you?" asked Happy worriedly, "You might need my help with whatever you might face."

"That's true," Natsu acknowledged with a sigh, "but with Erza still on the island, she'll keep on getting in the way. So I need you to put her back on her boat and send her off. And once you're done, go back to the village just in case Levy needs help protecting the village."

"I understand," Happy said with a deep sigh, as he turned by to his normal form and picked up Erza, "but I don't like it. Can you think about using the Browns to help you?"

"As a last resort I will," Natsu inform his friend, "but unless I have to, I don't want people connecting them to me. But if I get into too much trouble, I'll call for them."

As much as he wanted Natsu to have the Brown Minions to back him up, Happy knew that at this point unless he was portraying his Overlord side, it wasn't good to connect the two with Natsu the Mage. So bedding his friend goodbye, and telling him to stay safe, Happy left Natsu to take Erza back to the beach to send her back.

With Happy and Erza gone, Natsu went to the temple to deal with those there and stop the Moon Drip Ritual, and finish the job.

And Then…

With no round still around, Natsu decided to go down to the cave and wait for a few hours down there to see if anyone returns. It wasn't the idea he liked, but it was getting late and in a few hours the ritual would start and so make it easier to find these fools, and stop them when the time comes.

But when the time passed, no one returned to the cave as he had hoped, but instead when the night came, a magical circle appeared. As it appeared, a bright purple light hit onto Deliora's ice prison and started to look like rain drops. Seeing this, Natsu realized that this must be the Moon Drip of the ritual, and it meant that the ritual had started and everyone was at the top of the temple.

When he got to the top of the temple, he saw that there with around thirty odd people in a circle chanting, inside what looked like a moon altar, as a beam of purple light came from the moon. The people were wearing robes, and their faces were covered in a hood with a moon on the front.

As Natsu watched the ritual, deciding what to do, he saw four people appear, two men and the woman from earlier, and a new man. The man wore an imposing outfit which hid his identity. He had a large white cape, with a wide collar, golden edges and fur trimmings over the shoulders, held closed by belt, adorned by a stylized snake with rectangular coils, and its corresponding buckle, with more belts and buckles, placed a few centimetres away from one another and below the first, being left untied.

Below this cape, he wore a blue, high-collared tunic with golden edges, reaching down below his knees, with the part coming down from below the simple belt tied around his waist having an opening in the front. The outfit also included baggy dark pants tucked inside armoured greaves, composed of different plates and sporting knee caps, and an ornamental helmet obscuring most of his face.

It bearded resemblance to a skull, this helmet sported a front part which covered the man's upper face, revealing his mouth and nose, with a line of sharp teeth beneath it, and his eyes won't visible from the eye slits of the mask, which was adorned by a spiralling motif. The helmet also came equipped with striped horns pointing forwards and with a large crest made of spiky fur, falling on the man's back.

Natsu suspected that this man was the Cold Emperor himself.

"Shit...I've been awake almost all day, and now I'm tired." Yuka cursed, as he shook his head. "We couldn't find the intruders either."

"YOU SURE THERE WAS INTRUDERS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" Toby yelled in an angry tone, forgetting about the death of Sherry's pet rat.

"Of course I am," Yuka told Toby, "I looked in the area where Rose's group was, and they seemed to just disappeared. Rose is one to leave the island, she wants revenge just as much as the rest of us, so she wouldn't leave the island nor the rest of them. No, I think these intruders got something to do with their disappearance."

Here the Cold Emperor was going to say something, when the female, Sherry if Natsu remembered rightly, walked up to the Cold Emperor and locked her arm to his and informed him, "I have terrible news Cold Emperor, there were some intruders during the daytime… but we couldn't find them. I can't speak of love like this."

"This is troubling," the Cold Emperor admitted worriedly, as he walked towards a cliff overlooking the village on the other side of the island, "we can't let anyone from stopping us from reviving Deliora. I can only think of one reason why these intruders are here, the villagers must have brought them here."

"So what do you want us to do?" asked Yuka.

"Obliterate that village." ordered the Cold Emperor, "We can't allow them bring any more intruders to the island to stop us."

"Yes sir!" Sherry, Toby, and Yuka said simultaneously, as they turned to leave for the village.

Natsu was impressed at how the Cold Emperor ordered the destruction of a village without a second thought, maybe his plans for him might work. But first, he had to stop these fools from destroying the village, if they did, he wouldn't be getting paid.

"Well, time to kick it up a notch!" Natsu smirked as he Requiped a sword and jumped in front of the enemies, as he said, "I hear you have been looking for me."

"You're the intruder," Sherry shouted angrily, "you're the one that killed my Angelica."

"That damn rat attacked me and my partner, so yes I killed the damn thing." Natsu admitted without fear to what these people would do to him. Here Sherry tried to attack Natsu, but he dodged and put his blade onto her neck, and sneered, "I wouldn't do that or I'll kill you too."

"What about Rose and her group?" Yuka asked worriedly, if this person was more than willing to threaten Sherry with the Cold Emperor and everyone else here, he was either really stupid, or he was powerful and knew how to use that power. And if it was the later, then they all had to be careful, even the Cold Emperor. He might be able to deal with the Mage with his anti-magic magic, but he wasn't sure what this Mage could do.

"I killed them all…" Natsu told them simply, here Toby screamed "You bastard," before he tried to kill Natsu himself, which was a bad idea. As the moment Toby started his attack, Natsu removed the blade from Sherry's neck and cut of Toby's, and put the blade back to Sherry's within matter of a few seconds.

Yuka felt sorry for Toby, he really did, he considered him a friend, and understood why he did it. Toby had a crush on Rose, and now that she was dead, he could never try and tell her, so it was understandable that he would try and kill her killer. But he was also a fool, not only in terms of his mentality, but a fool to attack someone who had no problem of killing others. Normally a Guild Mage wouldn't think of killing, as they would have problems with the Magic Council, and so they would fight differently. So this left him being an Independent Mage, or a Dark Mage or both which would explain why he was taking a job with the villagers.

It would seem that the Cold Emperor had the same thoughts, as he asked, "So what are you, a Dark Mage or an Independent Mage? As I don't see Guild Mage killing anyone unless they're from a Dark Guild."

Natsu couldn't help but smirk at this, and answered, "You can say I'm an Independent Mage for now."

This got a few raised eyebrows, and the Cold Emperor then asked, "Then why aren't you killing the rest of us? You shown you have no problem doing, why not finish what you started?"

"I just might," admitted Natsu, "but I thought we can talk about it first. You got my interest and why you want to break Deliora from his ice prison where he can never hurt anyone ever again, depending on your answer, will decide if I kill you or not. As I don't think that you would risk him killing you all and escaping to start his rampage for just revenge, there must be more to it."

The Cold Emperor was in two minds what to do here, part of him wanted to kill the bastard for killing his people, but at the same time killing eight people with only him and another person, give him pause. Whilst other than Rose who was a decent fighter, and the rest weren't really fighters, to kill them with what seemed to be with ease was worrying. On the other hand, if they could come to some arrangement about all this, there would be no more deaths and he could get what he wanted, all with telling him the truth.

So after some thought, the masked man decided to talk to this person, and so he ordered Natsu, "Come with me, I'll explain away from here. As I don't want to give you a chance to kill the rest."

Natsu didn't like being ordered about, but at the same time, if his instincts were right, then he might have them joining him soon enough and he would be ordering him about in no time. So he said simply, "Fine."

And with that the Cold Emperor lead Natsu away, with Yuka and Sherry following, fearing to leave their boss alone with the man. They might be the good guys here, willing to kill to get what they wanted, but this man had put them on edge and worried for their boss. So they followed them so this man doesn't kill him.

And Then…

Natsu found himself lead to an empty room, that only had a throne at the end of it, with his people standing behind him, but ready to attack if they had to. This is where the Cold Emperor sat, when another strange masked man entered the room and stood next to the Cold Emperor. He was wearing an orange tunic, dark blue trousers, and brown shoes, and he wore a light green cloak. The man also wore a dark red tribal half mask, it had four white horns on it, one of either side of the mask and two on top, and had blue and gold markings on it.

Recognizing the smile of the person, Natsu said offhandedly, "Oh, so it is you."

"Do you know this person Zalty?" asked the Cold Emperor.

"No my lord, I don't think we have met as far I can recall." said the masked man.

"No we haven't met, but I recognize your smile from a few days ago, it was an interesting smile too." Natsu said with a knowing smile, which worried Zalty, wondering what this Mage knew about him.

"Zalty, why didn't you tell me this sooner?" the Cold Emperor asked angrily at him knowing about Natsu sooner.

"I simply thought he wasn't a threat, and was only here to do something for the villagers here on the island," Zalty replied, somewhat truthfully, "I never thought he would be this much of a threat."

"We'll talking about this later Zalty, I don't like having info held from me." the Cold Emperor informed Zalty, unhappy at not being informed about Natsu beforehand, then he turned to Natsu and asked, "So before we begin, who are you and which guild you're from."

"For now you can call me Natsu and as I said, I'm an Independent Mage and have no guild affections," Natsu told the so-called Emperor, "Most here are too weak and would hold me back."

The Cold Emperor could only nod at this, for those who are strong, they need strong guilds to give them a challenge or able to keep up with them. "Why are you here?"

"To clean up your mess," Natsu told him simply, getting a bit annoyed at these questions, but knew he would have to answer them to get this over with, "Thanks to your Moon Drip Ritual, there's a side-effect on the villagers on this island."

"Oh and what is this side-effect?" asked Yuka, "As we haven't seen anything with our people."

Not seeing any harm to this, Natsu answered, "They are a low powered demons, who can hide who they really are by looking human. However, thanks to your ritual, their ability is screwed up, and so during the morning they have a deformed of their human form, and during the night they look like demons that they are. But the problem is that they have no memories of who they really are, so they hired people like me to sort it out." This information some what shocked the group at this news, but other then that, they didn't seem to care.

"And you think that the Moon Drip is behind this why?" asked Zalty with interest.

"At first I wasn't sure," admitted Natsu, "at first I thought it was some sort natural occurrence, which I had the researcher I brought with me look into. But when I overheard about the Moon Drip from your people, I put the events together and realized it was this ritual of yours."

And before Natsu could ask about the ritual, Zalty asked, "Where's that flying talking blue cat I saw you with?"

"Oh Happy, last time I saw him he was getting rid of some trash for me before heading back to the village." Natsu smirked at this, wondering how things went with Happy and Ezra, and if there was any problems. He would find out later. "Now for my question, why the fuck are you trying to unseal Deliora's ice prison and set him free. Be warned if you say for revenge of him attacking the villages he attacked, I'll go right back to those fools up there and kill them all and then kill you four very slowly. As that answer is full of bullshit if I ever heard of."

"Why would it be bullshit when it is the truth?" Sherry asked angrily, still unhappy with him killing her pet rat.

"Because he was imprisoned in a shell of ice that he couldn't break free from, and so unable to do more damage." Natsu explained to them darkly, as he couldn't believe how foolish they were being, "You're risking a lot of lives for freeing Deliora, just so that you can get your revenge, when he can't do no harm ever again with the way he is now."

"He has to die for what he has done." Yuka told the Dragon Slayer.

"Bullshit," hissed Natsu, "tell me the real reason now or you're all dead right this second."

Yuka and Sherry looked at the Cold Emperor, before he sighed, he knew if they wanted to live past this day, he would have to tell this Mage the truth, something only those in this room knew about. So with a sigh the Cold Emperor said, "Fine I'll tell you, but I think that I'll start off with me telling you my name, which is Lyon Vastia."

At this point the Emperor removed his helmet to reveal that he had bluish silver hair, most of which are spiky strands that jut upwards on top of his head, except for some which are kept pointing down and partially cover the upper left part of his face. Lyon's eyes are slanted, with dark round pupils and surrounded by similarly dark lines. He has small, linear, dark eyebrows.

"And the reason I want free Deliora is because I want to surpass my Master." Vastia told Natsu truthly.

Natsu looked at the man as if he had grown two heads, and asked, "So why not fight your Master instead to see if you're stronger than them, instead of releasing this demon who'll most likely go on a rampage once he's free."

"Because she is dead," Vastia told Natsu darkly, before with a sneer he went on to say, "She's dead as she sacrificed herself to save one of her foolish students who thought he could defeat Deliora with little training. So to prove that I'm stronger than her, I'll do the one thing that she couldn't do, kill Deliora."

"Your Master was Ur Milkovich wasn't she?" Natsu asked as a few thing clicked into place, "And was it you that foolishly attacked Deliora."

"Yes Ur was my Master," Vastia admitted sadly as he thought back to his old Master, but his eyes darken when he said, "And no it wasn't me who attacked Deliora. It was some kid named Gray Fullbuster, who wanted revenge for the demon that killed his parents, even though Master Ur said he wasn't ready. And because of that, Master was forced to sacrifice herself to save his and my lives."

"And he had the galls to say that I act hot headed." Natsu sneered at this information that he just got. Sure in the past he was hot headed, but at least he knew his limits most of the time. But back then he also knew that as long as he could help it, he would never risk the lives of others other than his own when he was facing something more powerful than himself.

"You know the ass." the silver haired Mage said with hiss.

"I had the misfortune of being in the same guild for a while," Natsu admitted darkly at this, "in fact he along with a handful of other people are the reason I left my last guild and became an Independent Mage. Anywhere, back to your foolish actions at hand," Natsu said to get back to the subject at hand, "how are you going to defeat Deliora when your own Master couldn't do so. In fact she was forced to use a forbidden spell and sacrifice her own life to seal the demon away by using Iced Shell. Do you really think your own Ice Make Magic will be more powerful than hers?" Natsu asked sarcastically.

Lyon wasn't surprised thatthis Natsu character knew what his powers for seeing he knew who his Master was, but he was shocked to know how his Master sealed Deliora. As no one knew for sure how she did it or if she really did it at all, the only two people at the time who knew the truth was him and Fullbuster, and neither of them were going to tell anyone about it. So it made him wonder how this Mage knew about this.

But still, to think that this Mage didn't believe that he could defeat Deliora and surpass his Master, so with a hiss he said, "Listen, it'll be a few years before Deliora is free, and which time I'll have the power to finally kill the demon that my Master could not."

"Oh please," Natsu laughed and rolled his eyes at this, "even if you got the power to do so, unless you have the right ability you can never kill Deliora. And even if you did, Deliora would be even weaken that anyone could defeat it for a while, or would be dead by the time you free him."

"What the hell are you talking about!?" asked an angry Ice Mage, as the floor around him was turning to ice, and the room was getting colder, something that didn't bother Natsu at all, seeing he could deal with way much colder thanks to his affection to fire. The Cold Emperor was getting piss at this person who thought he couldn't do it, when he knew that he could.

"For one Deliora isn't a normal demon, but a demon that was created by the Black Mage Zeref," explained Natsu, "her demons once they are killed by normal Mages returns to their headquarters where they are reborn once again to go back to their rampage. But to kill one, you'll need to be very power or have a lot of people to do so." Here they didn't question that he said that Zeref was female, they were more interested at the fact that if a normal Mage killed one of Zeref's Demons, they would be reborn to attack again.

"But there's a special kind of magic known as Devil Slayer Magic, where should someone learn it, could eat the soul of a demon and so killing Zeref's Demons for good." Natsu told them, catching their interest at this news about this new kind of power, and thoughts about looking into this. But that was until what Natsu said next, "Even if you do learn this magic, in a few years time when you finally break the damn demon free, he could be dead already or will be weak enough for anyone to deal with."

"WHAT!" hiss Vastia, unhappy about this bit of news as he used his Ice Make Magic to attack Natsu out of anger, but Natsu using his fire aura alone, he melted the ice with ease, pissing the Ice Mage off, and shocking the others. "Damn it, you're a Fire Mage, no wonder you didn't fear me much, I bet you knew my powers before you got here."

"No, but I guess about them when I learnt your name was the Cold Emperor," Natsu explained honestly, "it seemed pretty office that your powers was based around ice."

"Damn it." huffed the Cold Emperor, not happy at this news, as a full on fight with a Fire Mage is the last thing he needed, and if as it seemed Natsu was as powerful as he seemed, he wouldn't get far in a fight. At least for now.

"What do you mean that by the time we free him, Deliora could be dead already or will be weak enough for anyone to deal with?" this question came from Zalty, who seemed to be very interested at this.

"What do you know about the spell and how it is powered?" asked Natsu.

"I know the person has to sacrifice themselves for the spell to work," explained the Ice Mage, "as their body would become the seal. Whilst their soul is still alive you could say within the Iced Shell, for all practical purposes, she is dead. As for what is powering it, it is believed that the shell absorbs the magic around it."

"Apart for how it is powered, you are right." Natsu explained, "You see the Ice Shell feeds of the of thing that it was sealing, so that the demon or whatever it is sealed the the Shell is kept weak so that they couldn't break free. So depending how long and powerful the person or demon was, they could be dead or too weak that anyone could defeat it."

"How do you know this?" asked Vastia the room was getting more frozty, and was unhappy that he wouldn't be able to surpass his Master. As in her own way, she did defeat Deliora, by weaken the demon and should he defeat him, it would be a hollow defeat.

"Just say that my teachers wanted to learn all possible threats towards me, and Water and Ice Mages are the main problem for me." Natsu told them, "So I made sure that I learnt what I can about each of them, and when I came across the Iced Shell, I tried to learn what I could about it. Until recently, I didn't know it could be undone."

Then looking at the so called Cold Emperor, and his two friends and thought about the risk he was planning to take. He knew they were willing to sacrifice others for to Emperor surpass his Master, but would they be willing to kill others for his needs. Maybe if they is willing to give them what they want, power and bring Emperor's Master back to him.

But the risk was worth it though as he thought about it, as he would have three new Mages on his side. But if they didn't do so on their free will, he could use Evil Presence Spell that the Minions found a month ago to alter their minds, but he didn't want this. As he found it too easy, and he wanted to see if he could use his words to turn a person before going for spell to alter someone to control them.

"How am I going to surpass Ur now?" Lyon asked himself.

"I might be able to help you there." Natsu informed the Ice Mage.

"Oh and how can you do that?" Vastia asked in interest.

"It all depends on how far you're willing to go." explained Natsu, "I've seen that you're willing to kill anyone who dares get in the way in freeing Deliora, but how much feather are you willing to go, becoming full fledged Dark Mages, killing, stealing and whatever else that comes up."

"And why would we do this?" Sherry asked with a sneer.

"Because I could make it so you spend a lot of time in prison for trying to free Deliora," Natsu informed them with a smirk, "as the Magical Council frowns upon this and be more than happy to jail you. And seeing that I heard you're more than happy to kill the villagers, will you could be spending a lot of time."

"So you're blackmailing us?" Yuka stated darkly.

"No, I'm making you an offer you that you can't refuse," Natsu said with a smirk, "as I could easily kill you if I wanted instead of turning you in or making you this offer."

"And what is this offer of yours?" Vastia asked curiously.

"The possibility of having your Master return." Natsu told Vastia.

"What do you mean possibility?" asked the Ice Make Mage with interest, he was very interested at this idea. Not only would he have his Master back, but he could finally have a way to prove this he has surpass his Master.

"The main problem would be that your Master don't have a body," explained the young Overlord, "as without one, it'll be difficult to get her back."

"But if you were able to have a body for her, you could bring her back?" the silver haired Mage inquired.

"There is a huge possibility it is possible," Natsu informed them all, as he sensed that Zalty was very interested at this thought, hoping he could do it for some reason, "but like all things, there's side-effects and risks to this. The side-effect would be that she would no longer good if she was in the past, she would become evil over time. The other side-effect would be she would only be loyal to me, and no one else. The risk however is that the spell might not work, and this magic doesn't work on everyone."

Vastia considered all this info, whilst he didn't mind that his old master could become evil, but it was the fact that she would mainly be loyal to this Fire Mage. He did understand that with all magic, depending on the magic, it doesn't always work. But he couldn't decide this on his own, whilst he and his friends didn't mind killing for making his dreams come true, they never thought about becoming Dark Mages. So giving his two friends a look to say what do they think, they thought about it.

The main problem was that his Mage killed their friend Toby, and their allies, and fearing that he might do the same thing to them. But at the same time they were trying to kill him, so it was no wonder he would kill them too, kill them before they could kill him. They knew now that whilst he called himself an Independent Mage, the truth was that he was also a Dark Mage too and he was asking them to become Dark Mages too.

"What do we get out it if we agree to this?" Yuka asked reasonably.

"Other than making your dreams come true and having him face his Master to see if he has become more powerful?" Natsu asked with a smirk, before answering at the same time, "Power! I'll help you train and make you more powerful as you are now. I have library where many powerful spells, and lost magic can be found, and you can look through it to become more powerful."

Here Sherry and Yuka thought about it, whilst neither was overjoyed at the idea of following this Fire Mage, they feared what he might do to them. Other than some sort of Fire Magic, they had no idea what else he could do, and that was a huge risk, as they knew he was very powerful already. So he could kill them, or he could alter their memories and hand them over to Magic Council trying to Deliora. So after a few moments, they looked at Lyon and nodded in agreement.

And so Lyon said to Natsu, "As long as you can bring Master Ur back, we'll join you, otherwise we'll have nothing to do with you."

Now Natsu knew he could try and use the Evil Presence Spell on them, but they could easily overcome him and stop him, as he was alone. But not only that, but he wanted his first allies to come to him freely, and not mind controlled to follow him. He knew that in the future he would use the spell, and was going to use it soon, but he didn't want to use it on them. So taking out his Communications Lacrima Crystal, he called back to the Tower, and as he did Gnarl answered it, "Master I wasn't suspecting you to call us, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Ah Gnarl, I would like a word with Mortis," Natsu explained to his Minion Master, leaving a shock group to their thoughts, wondering who this Mortis and Gnarl was, and why Gnarl was calling him Master, "as I need his help convincing a group of Mages to join us."

"So you have found allies Master?" Gnarl asked with interest.

"Possible allies yes," admitted Natsu, "but I need to prove to one of them I can do something before they join, and to do that I need Mortis."

"I see Master, give me a few minutes and I'll get him for you." Gnarl told his Master, and left to get Mortis.

"Who was that and why did he call you Master?" asked Cold Emperor.

"Everything will be explained later," Natsu explained, "it'll take time, and that's something I don't have."

Before anyone could say anything about this, they heard a deep husky voice said, "Master, you wanted to talk to me."

"Yes I did Mortis…" Natsu admitted, before he went on to explain what he wanted, and how he wanted to change the demon's body a bit.. When he was done, Mortis said, "It'll be difficult Master, but I believe it'll be possible to do what you want, the main problem will be changing the demon's sex and giving it the ability to change forms from human and demon at will."

"Thank you Mortis, I'll connect Gnarl later to being the Ice Shell to you." Natsu informed the Reaper Minion, before turning the Communications Lacrima Crystal off. Then turning to Lyon, Natsu told him, "Now as you can see, whilst difficult, it is possible to bring Ur back."

"And how do we know this isn't some trick?" asked Lyon, sure part of him want to believe it and it did, but there is another part that didn't believe him. "How do you know this sort of magic really work? Most of its kind is outlawed, so how do I know this is real."

"I know you seem to think that, but it does work," Natsu told them, "I have prove as I brought back someone back a few months back. I'll admit it wasn't the person that I had planned to bring back, but that's because of some unexpected events, but I did bring someone back from the dead. If you come with us I can prove it to you."

Lyon, Sherry and Yuka looked thoughtful at this, they won't sure to believe him or not, but the hope for Lyon's dream to come true was something they were willing to risk it. So with Sherry and Yuka telling their friend they would follow him, Lyon agreed to trust Natsu and so told him, "We'll trust you for now, but if we find out that you're lying to us, we'll have problems."

"That's far enough," Natsu told the three, then with a smirk said, "now let me show you something, a spell I could have used on you if I wanted to." And with that Natsu cost the Evil Presence. This spell appeared in Natsu's hand in a form of a white ball, and before anyone could do anything it hit Zalty. When the Zalty was blasted by the spell, it caused unimaginable pain, which made him scream out in pain unlike anything he felt before, weathering in pain on the floor.

But after a few moments, Natsu released the spell and the lightning disappeared, and Zalty got off the floor as if nothing happened and knelt on the floor, and said submissively, "I'm yours to order my Lord."

"What the hell happened to him!?" Yuka asked in shock.

"Something I could have done to you." Natsu told them with an evil smirk, "It's a spell that whilst keeps her personality and most of her free will, she is now forever loyal to me."

"Then why didn't you?" Lyon asked warily.

"Because I didn't want to force it, but want you to follow me by your own free will." Natsu half-lied, he didn't want to let them know that he could only do the Evil Presence Spell one person time at a time, and that they could attack him during the spell.

"Then why did you use it on Zalty?" Lyon asked with interest.

"Because I didn't trust her and she was hiding who she really was." Natsu explained simply.

"Her!?" Lyon, Sherry and Yuka asked together in shock.

"Reveal your true form!" ordered Natsu.

Zalty suddenly changed from a man that they knew, to a female with long dark purple hair, where she wore a white kimono that came down to her knees and had only one sleeve on her left side leaving her right arm was bare, and she had a gold obi around her stomach and a dark red collar around her neck.

"Ur!?" Lyon asked in shock, not believing what he was seeing, the lady in front of him look a much younger looking Ur.

"Don't you dire mention that name in front of me." the look alike Ur hissed at Lyon, who to his shock was hit by Ice Make Magic. Making him wonder who this girl was.

"I don't have time for this," Natsu told them all, "I've spent more time here than I would have liked, if I don't go back to the village soon, they might get suspicious. So I'll deal with all this later, for now, Zalty, do you have to report to someone and when?"

"I do Master, and I need to report to them tomorrow." 'Zalty' told her new Master.

"In that case, you'll report back to whoever you report to, and inform them that everything is as it should be." Natsu ordered her, which she obeyed, then turn to the other three he said, "Now that is dealt with, I want to see how insecure you are about getting Ur back. To do so we need a lot of lifeforce."

"Lifeforce?" Sherry asked in confusion

"What makes up every living being," Natsu informed the female Mage, "and to bring someone back from the dead, we need a lot of it, even more for what you want to happen."

"So where do you plan on getting this lifeforce?" Lyon asked with suspicion.

"Where do you think? We got a lot of people doing the Moon Drip Ritual of yours." Natsu smirked evilly, "Let say this is a test to see how far you're willing to go to get what you want."

Sherry and Yuka was unsure about this, but Lyon, who had nothing more on his mind to get his Master back so he could show her how good he had gotten, and that he was on his way of surpassing her, was more than to kill for it. Even if it meant betraying his allies who had been willing to follow him in this mad quest of his, he didn't care, as long as he got what he wanted, he would do whatever it took.

"Fine," Lyon said with conviction, "I'll kill them, if it means that I can fight Ur and show her I've surpass her, or on my way to." He wasn't foolish to think that with her new body she would be more powerful, but he sure in hell show her he was on his way in surpassing her.

Whilst Sherry and Yuka still looked unsure about this all, was willing to follow their friend, as it seemed that they too were willing to do whatever it takes for Lyon get what he wants. So the five of them went back up to the temple, where the villagers who were doing the ritual, were shocked to being attacked and killed by their former allies. Lyon and 'Zalty' blocked their way off the temple. All this time Natsu just watched in shock. Up 'til now he thought that other than 'Zalty,' his new allies would back out when it came to killing these people, but they didn't. Which presently surprised him.

With all of the Cold Emperor's former allies dead, their lifeforce begun to appear, shocking his new allies. Here 'Zalty' asked in shock, "Master, what are those orbs and why are they in different colours?"

"They are the lifeforce of these people." Natsu explained as he shocked them.

"How is that even possible?" ask 'Zalty,' "I've done my share of killing people in the past, but not once did I see anything like this before."

Hearing that 'Zalty' have killed before caught Natsu's interest, and something to ask about later. For now he said, "It's a long story, but long story short, the reason why you can see them now, is because of me. The full story well be explained later when we got more time. Now as for the colours of the life-force, from what I've been told is that the brown ones are for those who don't have magic. The blue ones are those to have magic, or are water creatures or have an affection for water magic. Whilst there's now here, there are red and green lifeforce, the red ones are meant to be fire creatures or have an affection for fire magic. And the green ones was are meant to be nature creatures or have an affection for nature magic."

"Are you sure that is right, you do know there there are other element magic, why isn't there different kind of lifeforce?" asked Lyon.

"To be honest, from what I've been told the knowledge about lifeforce is lost," Natsu explained with a sigh, as he too wanted to know more about lifeforce, "so what I've been told is mainly guess work, and second hand knowledge. So we'll never know the truth about it. All I know for sure is because of this gauntlet," here Natsu Requiped the Overlord's gauntlet, "we can see the lifeforce unlike before. And only I and those created from the lifeforce, can hold the lifeforce that appears."

"What do you mean those created from the lifeforce?" Yuka asked in interest.

"I'll explain in a few days, for now stay put and stay out of sight. I'll be back in a few days to take you all to your new home." Natsu informed them, then looking at 'Zalty' he suddenly thought of something and so asked her, "Are you suspended to be anywhere in the next few days?"

"No Master," 'Zalty' answered honestly, before saying, "but it doesn't mean I won't be called if I am needed though."

"In that case, take this with you," Natsu told her as he took out a two small Communications Lacrima Crystals out of his pockets and threw one to Lyon and the other to 'Zalty,' "These are personal Communications Lacrima Crystals, that's only connected to me, so should you need me for any reason, you have a way to get in touch with me. They'll also let me know where you are. And 'Zalty,' make sure no one finds out about that Lacrima."

"Understood Master." 'Zalty' said with a bow of her head.

"Good now if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving and sort out the village." Natsu told them as he left, with no one stopping him.

But as he got to the entrance of the temple, Natsu heard Yuka's behind him asking, "Why did you revail that spell of yours?"

"What do you mean?" asked Natsu.

"With us knowing about this spell we can be ready for it," explained Yuka, he was curious about this and wanting to know more about this, "it would have been best to hide this spell until you had to use it."

"And I would have if it wasn't for that 'Zalty' character," explained Natsu with a sigh, "if she didn't try to disguise herself as a male, I wouldn't have used the spell."

"But how do you know she was a female, when the rest of us didn't know?" Yuka asked curiously.

"I learnt some magic to enhance my senses," explained Natsu not wanting to reveal his full powers to him just yet, "so that I can do my Independent Jobs easier." Yuka nodded at this, seeing the sense at this, "Now if she disguise herself as another female, I wouldn't be so suspicious and wouldn't have used the spell on her. But because she was disguising herself as a male, I got very suspicious and suspected more was going on than meet the eye and will as you seen I was right. As for what it was, we'll have to wait and see when I talk to her in a few days."

"Now that she is under your spell, can't we find out for you?" asked Yuka, wanting to know why she was with them and what her plans were for working for them in first place.

"I don't think so," Natsu informed his new ally with a sigh, "as I said the spell might make her loyal to me, but it allows her to keep most of her free will and personality. So not knowing who she is and her personality, she might not answer your questions, So it would be for the best for me to ask her what is going on. Another thing, make sure your friend don't ask anything about Ur. As you seen, she seems to have a past with Ur and not a good one, so if you start asking about it, she could easily kill you without a second thought. So it would be for the best to leave that line of questioning to me."

"Ok, I should go back before Lyon starts asking questions that could get him killed." Yuka told Natsu with a deep sigh, and left to return to his friend. Whilst Natsu returned to the village, to let them know what is going on, or at least the story he wanted them to know.

To be Continued!

Author's Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END: Here ends Chapter 10 of The Dragon Overlord, and I want you to thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry for the wait, but I have problems concentrating writing of late and the mood to write it isn't always with me. I'm someone who is easy to get distracted by watching something on the TV or on the net.

I'm sorry if you feel that I handled 'Zalty' too easy you could say, I too thought it was too easy as well. But the problem was I didn't know how else to handle it, and this was the easiest way I could think of. Don't worry, I'll be trying to keep her as she was before the S-Class Tests, and not make her soft hearted and submissive to others other than Natsu that is.

Now once again here the idea that duskrider sent me to break Erza, but as I said at the start, there isn't a traumatizing moment like many of you thought, but steps to breaking her. I'm sorry if I confused you I didn't mean to so here it is a bit clearer, as I can make it, going by each step. I changed it from the last version, as I have thought about it and came up with a few ideas of my own to add. I would love to hear what you think of the idea, and how to make it better or if there was something missing that you think should be added. But once she is broken, Natsu can rebuild her to fit his needs, into a new person and won't be a mindless sex slave.

Not only that, but I was reminded by a review about the possibility of Murphy's law happening, 'things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance,' or more commonly, 'whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.' I was told plan creates many openings for something to go wrong, and so I would like to hear your thoughts about what could go wrong, as I like the idea of something going wrong where Natsu as to sort it out.

Breaking Erza:

STEP 1 - The Fake Death of Erza: Will be a few years in the future. Natsu is still training to become a powerful Overlord, and most likely still looking for at least maybe the Green Minion Hive. At this point I'm hoping to have whispers of a powerful Dark Mage known as only as the Overlord, making a name for himself and building his own Dark Guild.

Either way, at some point the events of Tower of Heaven happen, more or less the same as the series, but at the end of it people will be lead to believe that Erze dead to prevent the R-System from activating - but when in truth she is captured. The reason people are made to believe she is dead, is so that no one would look for her, so that Natsu can break and rebuild her to his needs.

Erza's death is faked so that no one will think about looking for her, and so giving Natsu the time to break her, and then rebuild Erza to his needs: the perfect weapon who is only loyal to Natsu.

STEP 2 - Solitary Confinement: At this point of the plan, Natsu puts here in solitary confinement, with no windows, so that she won't know if it is day or night. Here she'll be left alone, all she would be able to hear is the screams of people in other cells.

The problem will become when her concept of time become fucked up, as I'm thinking that Natsu or one of the others could mess up her internal clock. As she won't know when she sleeps or awaken, as her captives will wake her up and make her sleep at different times so that she won't know what the time is, and so making it hard to know how long she has been captured for.

During her time in solitary confinement, not only will she be forced to hear others screaming from pain and people getting killed, she'll be forced to relive memories of her past, painful memories that she would want to forget. Some memories might be implanted into her and so she don't know which is true or not.

During this time, one of her friends be sent into the cell next to her, or some other prisoner that Ezra gets to know. Whoever it is tries to escape, but fails, and so the two plan together to make a better plan of escape. But over time Ezra's hopes are crashed as she learns that whoever she been talking to, have been killed since the day they tried to escape, and it was one of her captives she has been trying to fuck with her.

During this time, she would be given drugs in her food and water that'll play with her nerves, causing her greater pain and pleasure. All the while she believes it's to try and break her, but she'll fight through this. But at the same time, the drugs not only made her pain and pleasure, but little did she knew, but they also weaken her power, strength, slows her reflexes and muscle control.

STEP 3 - Overlord visits Erza: What seems to be weeks even months to Erza, she finally meets up with the Master of the captives that's being keeping her captive, a person by the name Overlord.

Here the Overlord challenge Erza to a 'fair and square' fight, one where should she win, she and her friends can be set free. The Overlord either cut her tendons after she is knocked out during these events to prevent her from running or while in battle after taking her fake eye. All this to show how outmatched she is to him, and that she couldn't win against the Overlord. As the Overlord leaves her to wonder why and how these events happened, he would make a comment that he will take what is his whenever he wanted, to take her purity. Have this commented on over time.

STEP 4 - Over the next few months or so, Natsu should be able to break Millianna, yes the poll say she is with Natsu and not happy, and is willing to do whatever her new master wants from her. To prove this to Erza, Natsu as the Overlord will use Millianna in some sexual way. At this point Millianna tries to persuade her old friend that it is a good thing to give in to the Overlord.

At some point have one of Erza's friend, who was rebellious and keep on escaping, tortured in view of her before being taken away due to him misbehaving. At this point it could be anyone, even Natsu. It could be they watch Natsu getting 'tortured' by watching it on a Surveillance Lacrima, or have a fake Natsu getting 'tortured' or have a fake Overlord 'torturing' Natsu. If Surveillance Lacrima is used, his beaten state will be caused by training harder making Erza mistake it for torture. Erza during this time will also be tortured to help make it so she does not focus enough to realize it is fake.

STEP 5 - At some point of Erza's stay, Natsu is thrown into her cell for some reason, (ideas as to why would be welcomed.) Fearing that at some point the monster known as the Overlord would rape her, she wants her virginity taken by a friend and not a monster. Natsu will be too tempting a target. Natsu will turn things around and dominate her sexually.

Over the next few days, they would be separated for torture. After will, her captives states that Natsu was getting too rebellious and tried to escape (make it seem like Natsu planned this beforehand but did not tell Erza about it saying he was going to make his move before they were transported.) After Natsu's so called escape, the Overlord brings in a skeleton roughly the same body shape as Natsu and state they flayed his skin and made soap form it (serve her soap that night beforehand.) And informs Erza about his escape, and that he was killed because he tried to save her and could have escaped if he hadn't tried to come back for her.

STEP 6 - After Natsu's death, the Overlord has Erza experience memories for her time with Natsu in Fairy Tail, and interacting with him. Alter them along with others such as Grandpa Rob's death, her friends, and Jellal. Show Erza her own funeral having not told her beforehand they thought she was dead. If they bad mouth her in death all the better. Have the Overlord treat her lovingly like Natsu at times.

This is the final step so nothing can go wrong with it. STEP 7 - At the point that Erza is at the breaking point, knowing it would take the right action to break her mind fully, before Natsu could rebuild her to his needs, Natsu takes her for the first time as the Overlord. But this time it won't be the same as Natsu took Erza the last few times, it'll be rough and hard, raping her would be the right word for this.

As the Overlord is raping her, the Overlord reveal himself as Natsu, and that everything that happened over the last few months was because of him. Revealing this should mess with her mind to the point that she finally breaks, realizing that she was played by Natsu all this time. Everything that she been through, the pain, the pleasure and finally giving herself to Natsu so that her first time be something she wanted, but only to find out that it was Natsu all this time.

At this point with her mind broken, Natsu can rebuild Erza into something he can use, making her into the loyal warrior. The big Reveal cannot happen for a long time and I mean she has to think Natsu died screaming and was eaten for at least a week maybe more.
