"speaking"

"thinking"

On with the story

The concert has finished as the day changed to tomorrow

The battle damage of Demonic Natsu and Zancrow's fight was gone, and so was the Fire God Slayer himself

Right now, our attention is to the beach near the town as there were a lot of people there


"serve!" Lucy exclaimed as she throws a volleyball up while wearing a white and yellow bikini and Erza came jumping with a black bikini on

"STRIKE!" Erza exclaimed as she swatted the volleyball down

"I don't think so!" Mira exclaimed as she blocked the ball with an arm out while sliding on the sand with her white violet bikini "Kagura! You're up!"

"leave it to me!" Kagura exclaimed while wearing her purple bikini as she jumped and slams the volleyball in a spike that sends it straight to the sand "alright!"

Every student of Belserion was there as everyone enjoyed a day at the beach

Every guy on the beach all watched with perverted gazes to all the beauties of the girls in bikinis

"wow! This is so hot!" "hell of a hot!" "I feel like I'm in heaven!" "look at the Empresses! They're all hot!" "and the headmistress too! Damn!" the pervert boys all chattered with each other as they watched every girl in swimsuits

Ultear and Ikaruga were strolling around the beach while holding umbrellas as they wear black and pink skirtinis on

Kamika and Cana were sunbathing their back as both wore purple and black brown strapless bikinis on

Irene was nearby, sitting on a beach bench covered with a beach umbrella, wearing a scarlet sling bikini, sunglasses, and a tropical hat while sipping on some tropical juice

Everywhere the boys watched, they felt like they want to nosebleed so badly

"I want to ask them out!" "I want Erza-senpai!" "Ultear-senpai is super hot!" "Kagura-senpai too!" the pervert boys chattered around as they eyed the hot girls with love eyes

Girls started screaming as the boys look to the sea where Natsu was surfing his board on a big wave

Natsu rides his board up the wave before flying in the air and dives into the ocean water in a big splash

The man soon arises out and started swimming out to the beach

The girls screamed even more when Natsu came out of the water, all dripping wet and the sunlight shines on his body, making his fit body, abs, and pecs shine like he was a god

Natsu wipes his hair up as he shakes it a bit to get the water off him

Some girls had fainted while some were going gaga over him

Natsu looks at them before shrugging his shoulders as he grabs his board and walks away

"THAT BASTARD!" the entire male on the beach growled in anger as the girls' eyes were on him

"nice surfing" Cosmos who wore a pink floral bikini said while sitting on her beach blanket that was covered with an umbrella "you are a singer, a fighter, and a dancer. What can't you do?"

"getting rid of crazy fans" Natsu said walking away as the fan girls screamed out his name "literally"

"I see" Cosmos said giggling a bit

Natsu sets his surfboard aside as he went to his beach blanket where Éclair was at

"enjoyed the sea?" Éclair asked as she wore a reddish yellow Skirtini on

"a bit" Natsu said as he dries his hair off with his magic before sitting down "can't enjoy it fully because of the crazy fan girls"

"sorry, I can't use my illusion magic" Éclair said before Natsu kisses her forehead

"hey, you asked for a day at the beach last night. Better spend it with the real me, right?" Natsu asked as Éclair smiled before she got close to him and leans her head against his shoulder

Natsu smiled as he pulls her by the waist and pecks her head

The fan girls gritted their teeth in jealousy and anger as they were so jealous of Éclair

"you think those fan girls might do something crazy?" Mira asked Lucy as they were partnered up for the next game of volleyball against Erza and Kagura

"probably, but I think Natsu can handle it" Lucy said before they start their second game of volleyball


The day at the beach went on as everyone enjoyed the beach…well for Natsu and the girls, it was hard

Every time, the fangirls would just crowd Natsu for his autograph and a selfie with him, annoying him nonstop

Natsu was now at a cliffside as he tried getting away from the crazy fangirls

"tough, huh?" Natsu said to himself as he was getting tired of getting away from the fangirls who keep asking his autograph, selfie with him, and even asking him to be their boyfriends "maybe I should just tell Jason for another interview and say who is my girlfriend, or rather girlfriends….but that might get Éclair and the others a lot of hate"

Natsu sighs as he sat down on the cliff and watched the flowing, swaying sea

"calm…and quiet….is that so hard to ask?" Natsu said as he stretched his arms up and stretched them

Something shining soon flashes the reflection of sunlight at Natsu's eyes as he winced a bit before shielding them

"what the?" Natsu looks to the ocean and saw something shining reflecting in the water

Getting curious, Natsu stands up and his eyes soon glowed red as to focus his vision on the shining reflection

"that…" Natsu muttered out as he sees what looks to be a sunken wooden ship and something inside it was shining

Natsu got more curious as he takes a few steps back before running and then jump as he dives into the ocean water


Natsu dives deep in the ocean water as he swims towards the sunken ship

He looks at the ship as it looks to be an old wooden medieval ship that was sunken to the bottom of the ocean

Natsu checks it out as he went through a big hole on the side of the ship that may have been the cause of how it sank

Getting inside, he finds skeletal remains everywhere

"must've been a war ship or something" Natsu thought before he looks around and finds the one thing that he has been looking for "there it is"

He finds a crimson metal staff, sticking out of the skeleton hand of a dead man. It was nearly covered in algae, sea snails, and barnacles, but a part of it was shining from the sunlight through the water

Natsu looks at it before swimming towards it. He reached out a hand to it and the staff soon shines red

he looks a bit surprised to it before the red Dragon tattoo on his right arm appears and shines

The staff shines crimson as all the algae, sea snails, and barnacles peels off from it

Natsu looks at the staff as it has magic inscription shining on it while having a metal Dragon's head on the top

"another one…like the shield and the necklace?" Natsu thought as he found the necklace, and the shield. All having connection with Igneel

The staff soon flied to Natsu who caught it before seeing it shine red


"never seen these types of magic inscriptions before" Lucy said as she looks at the staff in hand and the magic inscriptions written on it "but I can tell that it's from an ancient language, lost to time"

Natsu brought the staff back with him to the beach as he called in Lucy for help, he did not know what the staff is nor why it was in the sunken ship at all

"any idea on a way to decipher it? Or knowing what it is?" Natsu asked her as Lucy shrugs her shoulders

"it'll take some time to decipher it, and I have no idea on what it is" Lucy said as she taps the staff a few times before it shines red and dimmed "all I can tell that it has magic property, just like yours"

"then it is Igneel's" Natsu thought before the staff shines again and transforms into spear, javelin, trident, a naginata before into a staff again

"wow, I have to say that this is a one of a kind weapon" Lucy said as the staff soon shrinks down into a small metal baton before returning back to normal

Natsu looks at the staff as it glows before shrinking into a baton once again

It shines into a glowing red orb that soon flies away out the window

"where is it going?" Lucy said as she and Natsu followed to where it flies and sees it went to Irene "it went to the headmistress?"

Natsu looks at Irene who holds the staff with wide eyes before she looks around carefully before inserting the baton into her cleavage, hiding it

"she knows it…" Natsu thought before his vision went static as he sees burning land and hears screaming. After that, his vision went back to normal "that was…"

Natsu rubs the bridge of his nose before placing a hand on his head and rubs it a few times

"you ok?" Lucy asked as Natsu shakes his head a few times

"y-yeah….just got a headache or something running through me" Natsu said as his eyes glowed red and black a few times before dimming "I'll be fine"

"you sure?" Lucy said as she sees black markings spreading around Natsu's neck

"yeah" Natsu grunted a bit as he covers the left side of his face, it was turning into his demonic form "I just need….a few minutes of alone time"

Natsu went away while covering his face as he was going to hide away, covering his identity from anyone to see


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
