"Wow my life is so god damn fucked up, first I have to fight these stupid ass demons then the Dragon of the apocalypse comes and tries to kill us. It turns out that Igneel was always inside me, damn that sounds wrong. Anyway Igneel dies fighting Acnologia and he gave me a cool ass tattoo of a dragon on my right hand, which if I must say looks so much better than that ice pricks devil slaying tattoo. Like seriously wtf triangles really Gray, triangles what the hell are you in preschool or some shit. Anyways some dumbass decided to fire the etherion cannon which was probably one of the most stupidest thing that anyone could do not to mention it was also a danger for multiple thousands of lives of the citizens and the mages that were fighting and I for some reason was the only one trying to protect everyone from destruction and death so I went and absorbed it and now I'm in this weird place and it's all black, I wonder what it is?" Thought Natsu As he was snapped out of his thinking, when his body began shaking.
"Where the hell am I?" Said Natsu out loud. "Huh i'm in a wagon and I don't have motion sickness. Well this is weird." Thought Natsu Has he continued to ride in the wagon and was brought back when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder.
Natsu immediately turned around to see a guy that look the same age as him with brown hair and light green eyes, "Hi my name is Tatsumi, and we are here at the Empire." Tatsumi said to Natsu.
"Empire, is it near Magnolia or Fiore?" Natsu asked quickly, "Ummm, No I have no idea where this Magnolia is." Tatsumi said with a confused expression on his face, as he and Natsu got off the wagon.
"Shit I think I'm in another dimension, I need to check if I still have my magic" he thought as he was walking with Tatsumi. Natsu then ignited his hand, the flame was blood red and a lot more powerful than before. "Damn Igneel was right, it did give me a massive boost in my magic power."
"Hey, hey what's your name?" Asked Tatsumi.
"Oh yeah right, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Natsu." Natsu said as he is stuck out his right hand, going in for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you Natsu" said Tatsumi shaking Natsu's hand.
"So why are you going to the Empire?" Asked Natsu.
"I want to join the military and get enough money to save my village." Said Tatsumi.
"Why are you going to the Empire?"Questioned Tatsumi.
" same reason as you, I want to join the military I guess. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right now." Lied Natsu as they were about to sign up to join the military.
(Line break)
"What do you mean We can only be foot soldiers?!"Yelled Tatsumi At the guy at the registry counter.
"Yeah"
"No I should be a commander of you, see my skills you have to give me the position as a commander!" Said Tatsumi as he pulled out his sword and pointed it at the registering guy."Wow this guy is arrogant. I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen." Thought Natsu.
(Line break)
"Can't believe the old man kicked us out, at least we found this really nice lady willing to help us!" Mentally yelled Tatsumi. As they had just ordered food and drinks.
"So do you know how to get us into the military?" Questioned Tatsumi to the blonde girl.
"Yeah I do, you need to have connections and money." She said to touch sooner, while Natsu was wolfing down his food. Tatsumi was thinking about what he should do. Once he made up his mind he took out a bag of coins, "will this be enough?" Asked Tatsumi to the blonde girl, who just had a grin on her face"Yeah this is perfect!" She exclaimed "just wait here I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me." Said Tatsumi with a blush on his face. "Ha ha no problem kid this will be a good learning experience for you." She said as she left.
"What is it like for you to trust her like that with your money?" asked Natsu. "Yeah she seems like a trustworthy person." Tatsumi responded.
"Even though you don't know her name?" Enquired Natsu, His question was ignored by Tatsumi who was just daydreaming. Natsu just sighed and shook his head While mastering about how retarded Tatsumi is, As he put his head on the table falling sleep.
(Natsu's dream)
"Wow I'm here again." Said an annoyed Natsu As he looks around just to see everything was black. He then saw a very familiar red dragon."Igneel?!" Said Natsu hopefully.
"What Natsu?" asked Igneel."I thought that you died. How are you here?!" Questioned Natsu. Igneel just laughed at him before explaining to Natsu that he left a part of his soul inside Natsu's body.
"Natsu, you know when you absorbed the etherion cannon, you gained the ability to use of the elements. You have the ability to use air, ice and metal dragon slaying magic." Explained Igneel.
"What? How do I use them?"Asked Natsu curiously wondering how more powerful he is going to grow.
"That's easy you just need to focus and change your element, then cast it with how you normally do with your fire magic." Said Igneel looking at Natsu Who just nodded and focused on his core and started casting his air and ice magic simultaneously. Then he cast his metal magic and changed his hand into a metal sword.
"Wow this is awesome!" Exclaimed Natsu.
"I'm going to be stronger than everyone when I get back to Earthland!" While Igneel just chuckled at his childish behaviour.
"Wait Igneel, Where am I right now?" He asked his adopted father, who just turned serious, "Natsu, You are in a different dimension. Here you learn to kill without any hesitation." Said Igneel in a calm and serious tone, while looking at Natsu who was shocked.
"W-what do you mean learn how to kill?! I can't kill anyone I am a member of Fairy Tail!" Yelled Natsu. "Natsu listen, After you got transported here, Zeref killed everyone in your guild, Fairy Tail is no more!" Said Igneel.
"No stop lying that can't be true!" Exclaimed Natsu.
"You don't believe me, he'll let me show you." Said Igneel. As he showed Natsu, after his so called 'death', Zeref showed up and started killing everyone that Natsu fought with, he killed them all in cold blood. When it ended Natsu was crying "I'm going to kill him!" Exclaimed Natsu.
"I know you are that's why you're staying in this world to learn how to kill without any hesitation. Once your job here is done I will transport you back to Earthland." Said Igneel to Natsu, Who just nodded his head.
"Okay good, hey I have something for you, First is this chest, it's filled with the currency of this world, next I have this sword that has been made by Dragon scales, It has the ability to absorb any element that you use and shoot them out and is indestructible, lastly I have this set of clothes for you." Igneel told Natsu As he presented his gifts.
The sword or katana that Natsu got, had a red hilt that had END written on it, The blade looked like the night sky, with the stars.
"Igneel, Why did you give me this katana and why does it have END written on it?" Asked a confused Natsu. Which made Igneel chuckle nervously.
"Let's see I will return your memories from 400 years ago, because I'd rather not explain everything." Said Igneel as he quickly tapped Natsu's head, not wanting to get questioned by Natsu.
In Natsu's memories he remembered everything from the day he was born to how he was turned into a Demon to kill Zeref, The amount of humans, dragons he had killed, he remembered going up against both Acnologia and Igneel at the same time. He remembered how Acnologia and Igneel argued about what to do with him and how Igneel took all of his memories.
"I see, so I'm END or otherwise known as Etherious Natsu Dragneel. Thank you for giving me back my memories and don't worry i'm not going to go and try to take over the world." Said Natsu with a chuckle after seeing Igneel visibly relax.
"Anyways, why don't I have any of my curses?" Asked Natsu.
"That's simple, You don't have them because all of your curse powers are locked inside your book." Explained Igneel as Natsu just nodded in response.
"Alright Natsu, It's time for you to get up that boy is shaking your body."Said Igneel with a chuckle.
"Yeah talk to you later dad." Said Natsu as he was brought back to reality.
"Natsu, Natsu wake up it's time to go that girl swindled us." Said a crying Tatsumi.
"Ha ha I told you you should have listened to me and not give her anything, see what happens anyways let's go to sleep outside for the night." Said Natsu giggling at Tatsumi's facial expression.
"Yeah you're right we have no other option let's go."Sighed Tatsumi, As he put on his jacket.
"Yeah hold off I'll be right back." Said Natsu as he ran into an alleyway to change into the clothes that Igneel gave to him. He re-quipped his raggedy clothes and put on his new ones. Natsu also re-quipped his katana and put it his small pouch on his belt. As he went out he saw Tatsumi talking with some small blonde girl with a blue dress.
Thanks to his Dragon hearing that was in enhanced even more than before, he could hear what they're talking about. He heard the girl invite Tatsumi to her home, but Tatsumi said he was waiting for me and the girl said that I could also come with her.
As I made my way over to talk to her I looked at the girl, she had a faint smell of blood when she saw me she started blushing for some reason, and wouldn't make eye contact with me.
"Hey Tatsumi, what's up and who are these people?" Questioned Natsu, "Oh they're asking if we could go with them and they have offered us a place to stay for the night, what should we do?" Tatsumi asked Natsu.
"Yeah we should accept that university it will be better and we won't Half to sleep in the cold for tonight." Said Natsu in which Tatsumi agreed to.
"Okay then, we should head back to my house. By the way I'm Aria" Aria introduced herself to Tatsumi and Natsu.
"It's nice to meet you Aria-san, my name is Tatsumi." Tatsumi introduced himself to Aria.
Then Natsu stuck out his hand, "My name is Natsu, it's nice to meet you Aria." He said as he kissed the back of her hand which made her blush while shocking Tatsumi and the guards.
"I-it's nice to meet you Natsu. Ok let's go back." Said Aria with her face the colour of a tomato.
(Line break)
Once they arrived at Aria's house, they introduced themselves to her parents, Tatsumi started talking about where he was from and how he wanted to join the military. Aria's father said that he could put in a good word for him with an acquaintance in the military and he will help find Tatsumi's lost friends.
After all that, the guards led Tatsumi and Natsu to their bedrooms.
In the middle of the night, Tatsumi and Natsu both woke up. Natsu woke up because he smelled blood while Tatsumi felt a killing intent. As they left their rooms they met each other in the corridor. Tatsumi told Natsu that he felt a killing intent, while Natsu just nodded his head in agreement, as they walked down the halls, they saw Aria's mum's body cut in half. Tatsumi then looked out the window and saw 6 people standing on strings.
"N-Natsu look out the window. It's Night Raid." Stammered Tatsumi.
"Well shit, they're probably going to kill Aria's entire family and they're also going to kill the guards." Said Natsu calmly.
"What! Let's go and save her, I can't believe Night Raid is willing to kill people who are rich." Said Tatsumi angrily. He then ran off to save Aria while Natsu just looked at him.
"What an idiot, that's probably not the reason that they're going to kill Aria." Sighed Natsu in annoyance as he started to follow Tatsumi while taking his time.
(Time skip to where Tatsumi is about to fight Akame.)
"Move you're not the target." Said the red eyed girl, as she jumped over Tatsumi, leaving him in shock. Akame slashed one of Aria's guards. Aria started running into her warehouse. Akame ran after her but was stopped when Tatsumi stood in front of her.
"Get out of my way, you aren't the target, she is." Said Akame.
"Why are you trying to kill her, she's done nothing wrong!" Yelled Tatsumi at Akame, who just ignored him and went to attack him but was stopped by Natsu who appeared out of nowhere.
"Wait, don't kill him, let him see what's inside the building first! And you can come out now miss thief." Said Natsu calming Akame down as Leone came out of hiding, surprised that she was noticed.
"Hehe, how did you know I was here?" Asked a surprised Leone.
"What the hell, you're that swindler from before, give me back my money!" Exclaimed Tatsumi.
"Shut up Tatsumi! And to how I found out where you were was because of your scent." Said Natsu, shutting Tatsumi up and shocking Leone and Akame.
"Wait, what did you mean look inside the building?" Asked Tatsumi while looking at Natsu curiously. Natsu just sighed, "Just go see for yourself."
Tatsumi started walking while the rest followed him inside.
"This is the darkness of the Empire, that's the reason for Night Raid." Said Leone with disgust in her voice.
"S-Sayo." Stammered Tatsumi.
"Is that someone you know?" Asked Akame.
"T-Tatsumi is that you?"
"Leyasu, what happened to you?!" Tatsumi said horrified.
"Tatsumi, that girl Aria, she invited us to her house and drugged the food, then she tortured Sayo to death." Cried Leyasu.
"Tatsumi talk to your friend." Said Natsu as he walked towards Aria who was backing away.
"Hey Aria-chan, what he said is it true?" Asked Natsu as he grabbed her hand with everyone watching them.
"No it's not true, he's lying, who do you believe more, me the person who saved you or him!?" Questioned/ yelled Aria.
"Please don't lie to me, I hate liars." Said Natsu with a grin on his face.
"SO WHAT, I KILLED HER, SHE WAS JUST CATTLE, HOW COULD SHE HAVE SUCH SILKY HAIR WHILE MINE WAS UNRULY, SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY I EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED HER!" Screamed Aria breathing heavily.
"I see." Said Natsu, as you could feel the killing intent rolling off of him. He palmed Aria's head and set his hand on fire with his powerful flames, making Akame and Leone sweat till their clothes were practically drenched with it. The two girls were shocked, thinking he could get such a powerful teigu.
You could hear screams of pain and agony from Aria. While the others were just scared of him. Once the fire disappeared there was only ashes where Aria once stood.
"Wow, it's easier to kill someone then I realised." Said Natsu, "I could seriously get used to this."
"What was that, Natsu?" Asked a scared Tatsumi. Leone and Akame saw an image of a red dragon and demon behind him.
"That was my power, it's awesome isn't it." Natsu said cheerfully.
"Natsu, you just killed someone, how could you act like nothing happened?" Yelled Tatsumi.
"Are you serious Tatsumi? Didn't you see what she did?" Questioned Natsu. Tatsumi just sighed and nodded his head.
"Hey, can I join Night Raid?" He asked Leone and Akame.
"Yeah sure, just come with us." Said Leone.
"Alright Tatsumi, are you going to join?" Natsu asked.
"Why would I join?" Tatsumi asked Natsu.
"Well that's simple, as the reason that your village has high taxation is because of the prime minister, don't you remember talking to the people who dropped us off here? So if you join and kill the Minister, the root of the evil and trouble will be dealt with." Explained Natsu. "So what do you say?"
"I'll think about it." Was Tatsumi's response.
"Ok then, let's go meet the others. Tatsumi pick up your friends bodies." Commanded Akame. Tatsumi just nodded his head.
When he got the bodies of his friends, Leone helped carry Sayo while Natsu carried Leyasu.
Akame called Bulat, who picked up Tatsumi, and ran up the string that had been set up. Once Natsu got up the string, he said "Hey Akame, can you carry him for a minute?" He asked her, when she carried Leyasu, Natsu turned to look at the mansion.
"What are you doing newbie?" Questioned Mine.
"You'll see. Fire dragon's forbidden arts: scorched earth." Called out Natsu. Then the rest of Night Raid saw a giant ball of fire that was illuminating the dark sky, fly straight towards the mansion, which caused a giant explosion.
When the dust cleared, there was nothing but ashes of the house and trees, everyone that was watching was awestruck at his power, and they were scared shitless, wondering how powerful his teigu was.
"HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS AWESOME! AND HOW ARE YOU NOT TIRED YET?! Screamed Lubbock.
"Wow," was all the other members said apart from Tatsumi, who fainted right when he saw the fire ball.
"I'll tell you later, anyways shouldn't we leave?" Said Natsu.
"Yeah let's start going back to the base." Said Akame.
The rest just nodded their heads in agreement as they started to go back to their base.
