Chapter 1
I'm Back with the first chapter of the 'Son of the Apocalypse.' If you're wondering why did I upload so soon, is because two reasons: 1, I am really motivated. 2, I usually upload two chapters or sometimes three to have a more complete story. 3, I really see a lot of potential in this story. Also, some one in the reviews told me to add Erza to the romance, but sorry I'm decided on my favorite Fairy Tail pairing: NaMi or NatsuxMira. Sorry. And also someone said that Acnologia wants to become the stronger dragon slayer. Well in this fic he already considers himself the stronger living being alive, so he now wants to prove it by showing his power to the world and he wanted someone with his same strenght to help him show it, for you guys to know. Now, let's get to the story!

Chapter 1: The Sky and Metal Slayers and a Fairy
It had already pass a week since the day that Acnologia left and Natsu started to wonder around the world by himself. In all this time he never had felt so...
Broken.
His eyes looked hollow and were red for so much crying. Even though Acnologia was mean to him sometimes, he was always there.
With him.
He had tried to think his brain out, to find out what he did wrong.
Something he said?
Something he did?
Something he though?
At the end he only got one conclusion.
He is weak.
He needed one way to prove his strength or to gain more. He needed to prove to his father that he isn't weak.
That he is useful.
His train of thought was interrupted when his sensitive ears caught the sound of crying. It was loud enough to make him cringe a little.
He walked with precaution to the source of the cry and hid behind a tree to see what or who was crying.
What he saw was a little girl with dark blue hair tied in two pony tails with red ribbons, and two bangs framing her face. She was using a green dress with yellow and blue lines. Natsu also noticed that in her shoes there were some wings decorations.
Natsu didn't know what to do. He never had deal with something like this before. Maybe he could use her to become stronger.
Maybe he could kill her.
'No...' Natsu shook his head taking away that though. He still remember when he met Acnologia he was crying like that. Maybe something like that happened to her.
Maybe her parents died somehow, like the ones of him in that fire that destroyed his village.
Or worst, maybe they simple abandon her.
With a deep breath he went to the girl that notice him and looked at him with fear and curiosity.
"Are you okay?" Natsu asked with a neutral tone and expression.
The girl shook her head "N-No..."
"Why?"
The girl looked down as more tears came down her face "Because, my mommy left me." Then she covered her eyes with her hands and continue to cry.
Now Natsu didn't know what to do. The girl was also abandoned but she is way younger than him, maybe 4 or 5 years old. So Natsu get down to her eye level and said what Igneel told to him when he comforted him after a punishment or when his father forced him to kill.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you."
The girl stop crying and looked at his dark eyes with her brown ones. "Y-You are going to help me?" She asked like begging.
Natsu nodded and stood up and stretch his hand toward her for her to grab it. "Yes. Now let's go and find your mother."
The girl sniffed wiped the tears in her eyes and grabbed his hand with a smile "Ok."
They started to walk and Natsu asked "Do you have a name?"
The girl nodded still smiling "Wendy Marvell."
Natsu smiled softly "Natsu Darksoul."
*Some Hours Later*
"MOMMY! MOMMY!" Wendy was screaming across the forest walking hand by hand with Natsu that was trying to catch any sense of a Human. He needed some information about her mom.
"Wendy." Natsu said and Wendy stop screaming and looked at his companion.
"Hmm."
"How does your mother looks like." Natsu asked and Wendy stopped walking let go of the hand.
"Will you believe me?" She asked still looking at the ground and Natsu nodded.
"Yes."
Wendy took a deep breath and said "My mommy was the sky dragon, Grandeeney." She looked at Natsu and saw his shock expression.
"Y-You too?" He asked and Wendy widen her eyes.
"Your mommy was also a dragon?" Natsu shook his head.
"No. My father was the black dragon Acnologia.
At the name Wendy looked scared "M-Mommy told me that he was mean and bad." Wendy said waiting for the man to be mean to her but she was surprised when Natsu hugged her.
"He is. But believe me. I'm different. And I promise on my name that I will find your mother."
Wendy looked surprised that the son of the dragon her mommy told her to stay away was so nice. So she hugged him back.
"Thanks."
*That Night*
Natsu was resting against a tree in front of Wendy that was resting against a tree wrapped in a blue blanket with a scales pattern. Natsu had her eyes closed but noticed that Wendy was having trouble with something.
"What's the matter?" He asked opening an eye and Wendy looked at him with a worry expression.
"Are you cold Natsu-san?" She asked shyly.
Natsu shook his head "just a little bit. Nothing you should worry about."
Wendy then blushed and walked towards the tree Natsu and got herself next to Natsu and wrapped the blanket around the two of them.
Natsu raised a brow "What are you doing?"
Wendy rested her head on Natsu shoulder while closing her eyes "You are cold so we are going to share this blanket. That's what families do, right?"
Natsu looked at her with a surprised expression "Family?"
Wendy nodded sleepily "Yes, we are a family right?"
Natsu then remembered when he asked that to Acnologia. When he answered to his question he sounded like he didn't care. He can be different.
He can give her a family.
"Of course. Good night." He said with a smile and drifted to sleep with Wendy next to him.
*2 weeks later*
"Do you think we will find her today?" Wendy asked Natsu that was holding her hand as they walked in the forest.
"There's only one way to find out. But first let's look for breakfast." Natsu said looking at the road with his neutral expression and Wendy nodded with a smile. She knew that Natsu cooking isn't the best, but it is better than hers.
In these two weeks the relationship of Wendy and Natsu had grown to a brother and sister relationship. And Natsu was one overprotective brother.
"Nii-san?" Wendy asked and Natsu looked at her without stop walking.
"Yes?"
"Where do learn to cook?" At the question Natsu looked down with a sad expression.
"An old friend." Natsu answered and Wendy start feeling guilty.
"A made Nii-san sad." She said but Natsu patted her head.
"Don't worry, I just remembered something bad. You did nothing."
Wendy was about to protest when they both cringed at the sound of a loud cry.
"What is that?" Wendy asked covering her ears.
"I don't know. But let's go to make it shut up. Because it cries louder than you." Natsu complained and started to walk towards the sound with a blushing Wendy behind.
"I don't cry so loud..." She whispered but Natsu listened and smirked.
"Yes, you do."
They kept walking towards the sound and they saw a young boy, with long spikey black hair, he was wearing a black vest and beige baggy pants and black boots.
Natsu was going to tell him to shut up but Wendy got close to him and asked "What's wrong?" She asked with a concern expression.
The boy hearing the question jumped of surprise and when he saw both Wendy and Natsu he started to back away until he hit a tree.
"W-What do y-you want?" The boy asked shaking and Natsu raised a brow and Wendy looked confused.
"We wanted to see if you are okay?" Wendy asked innocently and the boy shook his head.
"No! I'm not okay! My dad left me! I'm alone. And hungry. And no one wants to help me find him!" The boy said and Wendy looked at Natsu who was thinking something. Then he walked towards the boy who continued his crying.
"Is your dad a dragon, by any chance?" Natsu asked and the boy looked at him with shock on his eyes.
"H-how did you knew that?" The boy asked and Wendy gaped.
"You too?"
The boy nodded and looked at Natsu who was smirking "Wendy and I were also raised by dragons. My name is Natsu Darksoul by the way." Natsu introduced himself and Wendy smiled swetly.
"And I'm Wendy Marvell."
"G-Gajeel Redfox." Gajeel introduced himself and got up.
"We're also searching for our parents. Want to join?" Wendy asked giving Gajeel puppy eyes.
Gajeel looked at Natsu who was smiling softly and he said "Dragon slayers must stay together."
Gajeel nodded with an awkward smile and they left.
*Some Hours Later*
They were walking in the forest while Wendy was screaming mommy to try and get her mother back.
Gajeel was watching how Natsu and Wendy were walking hand to hand and he got a question.
"E-Excuse me." Gajeel said shyly and both dragon slayers turned to him.
"Yes?" Natsu asked and they stoped.
"Where you guys raised by the same dragon?"
Wendy shook her head happily "No. I was raised by the sky dragon, Grandeeney." Then Gajeel looked at Natsu.
"My father is the black dragon, Acnologia."
At the name Gajeel widen his eyes and jumped back "A-Ac-Acnologia?!" Natsu nodded and Wendy looked at Natsu with sad eyes.
"Yes, that's his name." Natsu said and Gajeel started to shake.
"D-Dad, said he was the most powerful and dangerous dragon in the world!" Gajeel said and Natsu looked down.
"He is. But believe me, I'm different. I am not going around killing people, I don't destroy villages because I felt like. I'm different. But if you don't believe me, you're welcome to go on your own." Natsu said and Wendy looked at him concerned.
"Nii-san is a good person. He is going to find mommy. And he can found your daddy too." Wendy said and looked at Gajeel with her puppy eyes.
Gajeel let out a defeated sigh and said "If you can find my dad I'll go with you." Natsu nodded and they continued their road.
*That Night*
Gajeel was shaking in the cold while resting against a tree watching the two 'brothers' rest together in the blue blanket.
Natsu saw this and opened the blanket and Gajeel looked at him with curiosity.
"dragon slayers must stay together, so come in." Natsu said and Gajeel hesistated before getting in the comfy blanket and fall asleep with his new family.
*2 months later*
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Nii-san, are we there yet?"
"No."
"But I'm hungry." Gajeel complained and Wendy nodded her head. They haven't eat because Natsu wanted to get to the next town as fast as possible, so they didn't have breakfast.
Natsu that had got a little of money after defeating some bandits that try to rob them, bought himself new clothes that consist of a black sleeves jacket with blue borders, a black leather belt, grey baggy pants and black boots. And of course, Igneel's scarf. With the money left he plans on buying good food for his brother and sister, and who knows, maybe sleep in an actual bed for once.
'That sounds nice...' Natsu though before turning to his siblings. "Look, I know you two are tired and hungry, but just wait a little bit more and we-" he was interrupted by his own stomach that started making sounds announcing he was the same as his siblings.
Gajeel chuckle and Wendy giggled but then Wendy nose twitched and she grinned and screamed "Food!"
She then took running towards the smell before either Gajeel or Natsu could catch her.
She ran through the bushes until she arrived at the point of the smell. There she saw an old tiny man with a buffoon hat in purple and orange with a matching outfit. He was roasting some beef and it smelled delicious.
He looked at Wendy "Hello child. Want some of this?" He asked with a sweet smile and Wendy looked down and started to play with her fingers not knowing what to do. Usually it was Natsu that talked with people when they ask for directions or buy something. She and Gajeel are to shy or afraid of people to actually talk with them.
"I-I-I..." She started because she was taught that not answering were bad manners. But lucky for her, his siblings arrived.
"Wendy! Here you," Natsu said coming out of the bushes but then he saw the old man and narrowed his eyes at him "are."
"What's wrong Natsu?" Gajeel said as he came out of the bushes and saw the old man and he panicked not knowing what to do.
Natsu quickly put Wendy behind his back and stood in front of his two siblings. "What do you want old man?" Natsu asked ready to fight but the old man just laughed.
"Me? Just give some fellow mages some food." The old man said and Gajeel widen his eyes in surprise.
"H-How did you knew he were mages?" Gajeel asked just to get an angry glare from his older brother.
"Don't tell him that." Natsu said to him who hided even more behind him. Wendy is just looking in a combination of fear and curiosity at the old man that was laughing.
"Don't worry child, the magic pressure you release confirms it. So you want to eat? It is not poisoned." The old man confirmed by eating another chunk of meat.
Wendy and Gajeel were drooling at the food while Natsu stomach grumbled even more. So, swallowing his pride he took a step forward followed by his siblings and they sit down and start eating next to the man.
When they finish, Gajeel laid back in the ground and after a sigh he said "That was a great meal. Definitely better than Natsu's." Natsu looked away.
"My cooking isn't that bad." Natsu defended himself and Wendy giggled.
"It is pretty bad." Wendy said and Natsu glared at her.
"It is that or eat it raw."
Wendy just giggle at his brother threat while Gajeel started to panic, not wanting his wrath on their food.
The old man was looking at this with an amused face and then he asked "So what are you going to do now?"
They all stop and Gajeel and Wendy looked at Natsu who started too look at the sky. "Don't know. Go to town to town, trying to survive until we found our parents."
The man nodded slowly before smiling "Then I got an offer for you three."
The three of them looked at them and Natsu once again narrowed his eyes. "An offer?"
The old man nodded "Yes. What do you say about joining my guild?"
Natsu looked down thinking while Wendy and Gajeel looked confused "Nii-san, what is a guild?" Wendy asked.
Natsu looked at her "Is a place where mages reunite and take jobs for money."
Makarov added "But ours is like a family."
"We already have a family." Natsu answered but the old man looked at him with a smile.
"It is always good to open to new people. Why not to start with my guild?"
Natsu was about to counter when he felt a tug on his shirt. It was Wendy "I think we should go."
Before Natsu could answer Gajeel added "Maybe they could help us find our parents."
Then they used the best trick against their brother; the puppy eyes.
Natsu tried to fight it but after an irritated sight he looked at the old man. "Lead the way."
The old man chuckled and stood up and started to walk towards the town.
"E-Excuse me." Gajeel said shyly and the man let out a soft 'Hmmm' "W-What's your name?"
The man once again chuckled "How silly of me. My name is Makarov Dryer. Master of the guild Fairy Tail."
And Done! That was the first chapter of 'Son of the Apocalypse'. Will the dragon slayer trio join fairy tail without a problem, or will something happen? Check it out on the next chapter. And if you are wondering about Gajeel OOC, is all part of my plan to make him a badass. And also the 'brotherhood' of Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy is based on the one of Luffy, Ace and Sabo of One Piece. And that is a wrap, any suggestions is welcomed. Remember to leave your opinion on the reviews that I always read them, follow and favorite the story and take care. Till next one.
