Natsu put his hands against his ears, his face contorted in a grimace of pain, the voices of the four, had joined and echoed around the room, to his keen hearing, that sound had been the worst kind of torture.
"CAN YOU STOP SCREAMING?" Natsu's roar shook the furniture in the room and the windows vibrated. but the moment he closed his mouth, he regretted it, the pain in his ears, in addition to the pain that spread throughout his body, added to the unusual situation he was in made him lose control, and for someone so powerful like him, losing control was never a good idea, the red flames that had shone on his arm, even for just a second before disappearing, were proof enough. "Why are you shouting in the first place?"
The two men and the Valkyrie had moved away from the bed, each assumed a different fighting pose, their faces were a confused mixture of surprise and fear. power emanated from their bodies, saturating every inch of the room with magic.
Natsu felt a twinge of surprise and respect, when he realized that the Princess of the Zodiac, had not moved away, she was still sitting in her chair, looking curiously at where the flames had appeared on his arms.
He shook his head in an attempt to get rid of those thoughts, straightened up on the bed, and took a deep breath, as if a key had turned in his mind, his thoughts cleared, unnecessary feelings had been left aside, with the ease that came with billions of years of experience, took on his commander mask.
"Who are you? Where am I? "Natsu let his magic mix with the whirlwind, in addition to imbuing his words with power." You brought me to this weird place, and now you're asking to many questions. "He had to contain the surprise he felt, golden light emanating from the body of the Lord of the Stars, a light green sword appeared amid a flash of light in the left hand of the valkyrie, while in the left a yellow one appeared, with small lightning bolts running through the blade, the demon had lost all his clothes, and half the right of his body was black, claws like blue ice emitting freezing wind in his hand, but again the one who surprised him most was the princess of the zodiac, she had not moved, no spark of her power had joined the whirlwind, she stroked quietly the tip of a golden key that glowed furiously, the symbol of a lion carved on one end, seemed to move.
Natsu did not know why, but the feeling he had when he saw that scene, was that the princess tried to calm the lion in the key, he took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself, clearly trying to intimidate them would not work, especially in the situation he was.
"I apologize, for a moment I lost control." Natsu let heis curiosity show, and directed it to the princess. "What are your nerves made of?"
She looked surprised, but smiled at him.
"I have no reason to worry, I know that my friends would not hurt me, and from what I realized, despite wanting to appear otherwise, you are not a threat either." Her smile increased with everyone's surprise, but especially with Natsu's. "He may have tried to intimidate us, but at no time did I feel evil in his magic."
"What are you talking about, Lucy? I clearly felt a bloodlust. " Erza went to her friend's side, the green sword disappeared from her hand. "In fact, for a moment I saw my own death."
"Seriously?!" She looked at Erza who nodded, then looked at Natsu who looked confused. "I really didn't feel any fear, but that doesn't matter now, I was right."
"Can someone answer my questions? Please?"
"Of course, My name is Lucy Heartfilia, I am one of the Princesses of the Zodiac, the one with the underwear is Gray Fullbuster, a demon, the redhead with the shiny sword is Erza Scarlet, a Valkyrie, the one with the blue hair is Jellal Fernandes, one of the last Star Lords. " Jellal's face closed, while Natsu started to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"My apologies, but seeing a Star Lord, being friend with someone connected to the constellations, is hilarious." He wiped away a tear that had flowed, whether in pain or because he was laughing so much, not even Natsu knew. "Is there anything else? the devil has a fairy friend?"
Natsu burst out laughing again, this time bending over at the waist when the pain became too great, but he couldn't stop himself, every time he calmed down, he saw the identical expressions of surprise from the four, they clearly knew a fairy.
The expression of surprise disappeared from Jellal's face, he became serious, watching Natsu's every movement like a predator, he approached the bed, small tendons of golden energy coming off his arms.
"What do you think is so funny?" Natsu wiped a tear that ran from his eye, while Gray, Erza and Lucy looked worriedly at Lord of the Stars.
"No big deal, the last time I saw a Star Lord and someone connected to the constellations, they were trying to kill themselves, a demon and a fairy, the fairy left the poor guy hanging by his tail on a tree, and the valkyrie was trying to kill me , imagine the Kings and Queens of old seeing you is a hilarious image. "Natsu took a deep breath, restraining the urge to laugh again." How is it possible that you live in peace? "
Lucy smiled at him, raised her right hand showing a tattoo in the shape of a tribal fairy, light pink, the same dark blue fairy on the demon's chest.
"We are all part of Fairy Tail, the largest and most powerful guild in the Kingdom of Fiore." Natsu tried, but failed, to contain a smile when she realized the pride in Lucy's words, it was clear that she loved the guild from the bottom of her heart." And to answer your other question, we are in Magnolia, the second largest city in the Kingdom. "
Lucy could have sworn there was a question mark over Natsu's head.
"Magnolia? Fiore?"
"You are in Ishigar." A golden aura began to circle Jellal's body, his face was contorted in an expression of anger. "An old name for our continent."
"Dude, what's going on?" Gary tried to put his hand on his shoulder, but the golden aura repelled him. "Calm down Jellal, you'll end up destroying Lucy's house." Gray was looking worriedly at the hands of the Starlords, the left was open with his fingers well apart, while the right was forming a two.
"Are you really an angel?" The Starlord's cry echoed in the room, a wave of his golden power, created a crack in the wooden floor. "PROVE !!!!"
"Jellal ?!" Erza was worried about her boyfriend, this was the first time she had seen so much anger on his face.
Natsu did not like that situation, hated being interrogated, and hated being threatened much more, he considered putting the Lord in his place, but in his current situation he would need the help of those people, and believed that incinerating one of his friends would not help him. much.
Lucy turned to her friend, ready to scold him, although she was worried about Jellal's sudden fury, nothing excused the damage on her floor, she would pay dearly for someone to fix it.
A groan of pain sounded through the room, Lucy looked at Natsu, who was covered in sweat, his face distorted in a grimace of pain, his panting breath made his shoulders rise and fall, he gave a cry of pain, Lucy felt her stomach churn as she saw the skin on his back ripple and form two tight lumps.
"Natsu, what's going on ..." She was interrupted by a sickening sound of skin tearing, followed by the sound of feathers moving, from Natsu's back two huge black wings ,like the starless sky, the right wing was lying on the floor, the bone was broken in at least three different places, the blood that dripped from the fractures stuck to the feathers, the left wing was much better, it was held up, except for the missing and broken feathers, it seemed to be nothing very serious.
Lucy put her hand over her mouth to contain a sob, tears were streaming down her face, never in her life had she seen a scene as sad as that angel with broken wings, throughout the conversation, Natsu had remained calm and confident, but now he looked very vulnerable.
Natsu settled on the bed, and looked at Jella with such hostility that the Lord of the Stars, even took a step back, and froze.
"Happy now little Tyrant of the Stars? Is that proof enough? "
A vein popped out of Jellal's forehead, while his power exploded across the room, Gray who was distracted watching the black wings, was hurled by the wave of power against the bedroom wall, creating a new crack.
"Jellal, stop this, you're going to end up hurting someone." Erza tried to approach her boyfriend, but a new wave of power threw her against the same wall as Gray, the valkyrie fell beside the demon, unconscious.
"Erza !!!!" Lucy ran to her friend's side and picked her up in search of some kind of injury. "Are you crazy, Jellal?"
The Starlord's fury vanished for a moment when he looked at his girlfriend, but came back even stronger.
"Forgive me, but I have to kill him, for all the fallen lords, I can't let him live."
"What's going on, Jellal? What did he do to you? "
"Angels destroyed my people Lucy, they hunted us like animals until they almost extinguished us, the few who survived had to live in hiding, fearing every day for their lives, a glorious people reduced to nothing."
Lucy felt a shiver, as she felt the temperature in the room rise, Natsu started to laugh, in a completely different way, his wings had become flames, even the broken one had risen from the ground, the man she was with talking just a few minutes ago was gone, a much older, much more powerful creature took his place, the furious incarnation of fire.
"Life is really surprising, who would have thought that history would be so distorted? Don't you agree, Tyrant of the Stars? " Jellal felt his body tremble, every word of the angel was imbued with so much power, that the entire building was trembling. "Imagine that the Tyrants would play innocent, tell your friends Little Tyrant, tell the whole truth, I would love to see the reaction of them, I'm mostly curious about the princess of the stars. "
"SHUT UP!!!" A meteor made of pure golden energy, shot towards the angel, but Natsu simply raised one of his wings to intercept the attack, the meteor was burned without a trace.
"Okay, Little Tyrant, if you're sure that's what you want to do, whatever." The wings of fire intensified, flames ignited in the angel's arms, and a incandescent halo appeared over his head. " I hope you are prepared, this city will disappear. "
"I do not care."
"Will you sacrifice your friends for meaningless revenge?"
Jellal hesitated for a moment, but returned to gathering power in his body.
Golden light dominated the room, followed by the deafening sound of a bell.
