"Nashi!" I called out into the fading light. She had been gone for hours and there was still no sign of her or Happy.

Jazz strode up to me, "we're getting pretty close to Magnolia and Amelia says she can smell Nashi and Happy entering the city.

Was it possible they could be mind controlled? Held prisoner?

Asia's voice pierced my thoughts as Juliet reached out with her telepathy, "I got eyes on Nashi. In Magnolia, making a beeline for the guild with Happy."

"Juliet, can you reach her with telepathy?"

"I can try..."

I waited a few moments before I called out, "Nashi, what are you doing?"

If I could have seen her face, I was sure there was a smug look on it, "I'm taking Fairy Tail back."

"Idiot! You can't do that alone!" Storm responded.

Nashi paused for a moment, "then what's taking you so long, try and keep up Ice Princess!"

Storm audibly exclaimed in anger, "I AM NOT GONNA LET SOME ROOKIE OF A WIZARD UPSET ME!"

"Nashi, this is dangerous," Asuka warned.

"I know, but don't Fairy Tail Mages and danger go hand in hand?"

I smiled, she had spirit. I started running toward Magnolia, "I'm coming to back you up! Hold on!"

"Me too!" Storm added.

"Aye!"

"Happy!? Why didn't you stop her!" Asuka spat.

"It's what Natsu would have done!"

In a few seconds, Juliet was out of the tree and racing through the brush as I broke the treeline.

"Nashi is right, this is our home. Let's take it back."

Nashi

I knocked open the doors to the Fairy Tail Guild to see it's senior members all standing in lines off to the side. I didn't have anytime to waste as I jumped into the middle of the room.

"FIRE DRAGON...WING ATTACK!"

Apparently someone snapped out of control in my sudden entry. Nevertheless, fire slammed into the members, sending most sprawling to the ground before I jumped and clung onto the second story railing. My ponytail had come undone as I jumped, letting my hair out.

"What the...wait...NATSU?" I heard a gruff voice call out.

I flipped over the railing and started running towards a back room. The one without a guild mark would be the bad guy.

"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" The man called out again as I heard a few other voices stir from the stupor.

The sound of combat started to echo moments later. The mind mage must have realized my arrival broke control of a few members. I barely ducked in time as a sword slammed into the wall next to my head. I placed a hand on the ground and slid to face my assailant as I pulled out my own blade.

The blazing blue eyes of Titania Erza looked back at me a sneer, "so, you are related to him after all."

I grinned, "yep, and I'm gonna kick your ass when I find you!"

"We'll see about that, REQUIP!" he roared through Erza's mouth.

Nothing happened.

"Not now!"

I put the sword away and ran forward, "ERZA!" I yelled before slamming my fist into her gut. The blue faded away as she bent over my fist.

The guild master coughed as she fell into me, bent over my shoulder. Her voice was quiet, "Natsu?"

"Stay down Miss, I'll take it from here."

She slid to the ground and looked up at me, "you..."

"HOLY MAVIS WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Storm shouted into my head.

"What do you mean?"

"Nashi, the guild hall is on fire and our parents are fighting each other," Juliet sounded disturbed.

"Haha! Old fashioned Fairy Tail is back!" Asuka laughed.

I shook my head as I continued on only to have a snow globe thrown at me, "don't come any closer, I need to concentrate..."

Obviously I leapt over the table at the fat little man with his fingers on his temples. He smacked into the wall as I picked him in the face. I grabbed him by the collar and hoisted him up with one arm. My other hand became a fist full of fire, "you think it's funny to tear families apart?"

He smiled, "ah, a little Dragneel, if I had known you were here I would have had reinforcements. That being said you are foolish to try and face me alone."

A burst of magical energy blasted me across the room. A few books floated in the air and a bookcase fell across the door, slamming it shut. I found my footing as my fists blazed to life, "bastard!"

A book flew across the room and I turned it to ash. This magic thing was coming fairly easy to me. The office came to life around me, a swirl of anything semi loose began to twirl. But I had one goal.

I charged forwards as my body wrapped itself in flames and I shoulder checked him through the window as we both fell through.

Thing was he began to levitate as I fell. The ground below raced up, "farewell, Dragneel!"

I closed my eyes and hoped he could hear me, "HAPPY!"

A few moments before I hit the ground I was yanked back upwards into the sky with the exceed holding onto my back.

"You didn't think it'd be that easy did you?"

Simon

The guild hall was in utter chaos as the older generation was freed from the mind control to see a burning guild hall.

"What the hell!?" Cobra shouted above the roar of the flames.

"It's Natsu! I saw him!" Gray, Storm's father exclaimed.

"So Salamander finally shows his face huh?" Gajeel gave a savage, toothy grin, "after all these years he has the balls to show back up here?"

Cobra shook his head as he looked at me, "it's not Natsu, it's one of his kids."

I gave him the mental finger before announcing it to the group, "you were put under a mind control spell, with the amount of minds he was controlling, Nashi, who you all need to thank after this, was able to administer enough chaos to break you out of it. She's probably..."

The room shook and a crossbeam fell down before Juvia finally turned and started putting out the fire, "Gray, darling, a little help here?"

"I'm gonna go ahead and guess that's her causing such a ruckus out back?" Wendy Coanbolt replied with a laugh.

"Like father, like daughter. So that must be why he and Lulu took off back then!" Levy Redfox addded on.

My dad stepped forward about to speak as Storm finally ran in cutting him off, "will someone knock her out?! I can beat him myself!"

A large boom echoed through the area as the ground shook again before Happy fell through the ceiling.

"That can't be good," Asuka admitted.

I turned quickly and ran outside to see what was happening. Nashi was near the top of the guild hall, holding onto the collapsing structure of the bell with one hand and telling obscenities at the mind mage Aurik.

Levy followed second layers, "that magic power..."

I cupped my hands to my mouth, "NASHI! GET AWAY, HE'S TOO DANGEROUS!"

Levy shook her head faintly, "it's not him with the power I'm worried about, it's her. The girl, Nashi."

I balked, "she just became a mage a few hours ago though!"

If she had that much power, why would she conceal it. She seemed alarmed when Gale had mentioned that it was stopping Ethernano from reaching her body. But to have amassed this much this fast, her body wouldn't be able to handle it.

Looking at her as she stood knees bent in defiance, hair on fire whipping in the wind, cuts and bruises on her arm, it was easy to see why she had the nickname Dragon Blade. The hilt of her sword was shattered as chunks of debris circled around Aurik.

He said something to her which made her clench her jaw as he fists finally erupted in flame as she launched herself at Aurik, feet blazing and keeping her airborne.

Compared to old recordings of the grand magic games, Nashi's fighting style with her fists was entirely different than her father. She kept her guard up more and seemed to try and anticipate her opponents moves. Just like her sword matches.

The rest of the guild ran out to watch the spectacle when Aurik grabbed Nashi by the throat and her magic stopped supporting her. He smirked and said something.

"NASHI!" Juliet screamed but Cobra laughed in response.

"What an idiot."

I turned to face the Poison Dragon Slayer, "what?"

"Nashi has him right where she wants him and he's just realized that," he had a sly smile. Sure enough, Nashi had grabbed hold of his wrist before grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer before a fireball obscured all vision. A trail of steam shot from the smoke, smashing into the ground about fifty yards away. A cracking sound followed by a yelp was heard as Aurik slowly rose the ground from his impact site before falling down unconscious. The sound of the bell falling through the guild hall was painful, but was probably more so for the girl who tried to use it as a landing spot.

Nashi

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT! I tried to claw my hands around anything stable so I could support myself and avoid falling. The bell had already fallen through the roof of the guild hall as I scrambled for a hand hold. The Hayward had broken my sword in the middle of the fight, shattering both blade and handle. I felt myself still sliding backwards and finally off the ledge before a hand shot out, grabbing my forearm.

I looked up to see my idol, tired and her teeth clenched as she held onto me and began to pull me up, "I got you, don't worry," she grunted.

"Lady Titania..." I breathed, she pulled me to a level part of the roof before stopping the breathe heavily. I started looking over her, "you're not hurt are you?"

"I'm not as young as I used to be if that's what your asking," she chuckled.

I was silent for a moment before she brushed a hair from my face, "and how are you faring Dragon Blade? I didn't know you were Natsu's Daughter."

I panicked, "oh, uh, me? I'm, uh..."

"Mom, she's a fan of yours, that's why she's stuttering," Simon's voice cut in.

I froze, "Shut up!"

Ezra clapped me on the back with a surprising amount of strength, "there is no need to be alarmed. I am quite a fan of your tournament performances as well. I tried to even congratulate you after your last one two years ago."

I looked my fingers together, "uh..."

"Of course you wore armor back then. Probably to conceal your father's scarf."

"No, it was because I always idolized you and I never saw you without armor on!" I whined.

She closed her eyes, "I see, I am glad though that you are here today. Thank you for what you did. If there is anything Fairy Tail can do to make it up to you, just say so."

I waited a moment, "well..."

One Day Later

I pulled a bit at the new clothes I had been gifted. It was more lightweight and apparently fire proof too as I stood next to Erza.

She cleared her throat, silencing the guild, "everyone, I'd like you to meet our newest member, Nashi Eclair Dragneel."

A roar went up as members started to stampede up to the stage. For the first time in a while, I was truly happy as the crimson Fairy Tail mark was displayed prominently on my shoulder.

"This calls for a celebration!" Ezra, my new guild master decreed.

And this my life as a Fairy Tail Wizard began.

Dear Mom,

I know you're probably freaking out right now. I'm sorry. But I started out with the intention of catching up to you and Layla on the tour.

But something happened. I found out part of who I am. It's time for me to take my next step in life. So I've moved out! But you don't need to be worried about me mom. I'll be fine. I may try and visit occasionally, once I can get past some stuff. So I'm putting my foot forward and taking my next step and living life to the fullest! I hope you can be proud of my one day mom. And you don't need to miss me either,

Because no matter the distance between us, or the years that separate us, just know mom, no matter what happens,

I'll always be looking your way.

-Nashi E. Dragneel
