CH 3:
The entire guild circled around the battlezone, deep into the woods of magnolia, waiting to watch the combined forces of their ace and their two strongest female mages whoop the ass of some pink headed child.
Makarov set to the side, and prepared to begin the S-class trial. "You will fight until one side is unable to continue, or i call it. No lethal force can be used, and nothing that wont be able to be healed. Is that understood"
"yes"
"yes"
"yes"
"Hey gramps, you and everyone should move back a bit, more than that. Just keep going until I tell you to stop…" Natsu said, warning the old man that this will cause some damage to the surrounding trees.
"Okay. Three, two, one, START" started the battle. Erza mira leaped into the air, each trying to land the first shot, but each of their attacks were easily sidestepped by the fire mage, who looked almost disinterested. Gildarts held back, clearly trying to judge the situation, and see how he could best use his talents to at least put a dent in the monster in front of him.
Eventually, natsu got bored of playing with them and activated one of his curses, "kneel," he said in a low but disengaged tone.
"Like we will ever kneel to you! Well the slut over there might, but not me!" shouted erza from her knees, not realizing her body had complied with his demand.
"SLUT?! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SLUT BITCH" shouted back Mira, also unaware of her current predicament. They continued to bicker for a while, while gildarts struggled to overcome the order he had received. The audience stood hushed that not only had he taken Mira and Erza down in a single word, but gildarts was struggling as well.
"Good, if you had succumbed to that I would have been disappointed old man" natsu smirked over at gildarts, who was regaining his composure, the effects of natsus curse clearly faded by this point on him.
The two mages stared at eachother, smirked and simultaneously jumped into action. A colossal quantities of dust were kicked up in the process, obscuring the fight from view, save for a few flashes here and there.
After about five minutes, the dust settled, revealing to the waiting audience and almost entirely unscathed natsu, save for a slight cut on his arm, carrying a badly beaten and bruised Gildarts. "Hey wendy, do you think you could heal him for me?" natsu asked his adopted sister, he could do it himself, but he knew wendy liked to show how she could be useful to her beloved sibling. She beamed and fixed the orange-haired crash mage, who came to and looked around.
"Did I get a hit on him?" he asked the assembled crowd.
"yeah old man, you got one hit, right here" as natsu lifted his arm, showing the slight cut on his forearm
"YES!" gildarts screamed, totally confusing the rest of the guild "I didn't think I would be able to get one, but then again, you were just playing with me, weren't you?"
"eeh, you made me try more than I thought you would, ill leave it at that eh?" he smirked back, stunning the guild, he beat gildarts, and he was hardly trying? How strong is this kid? They all thought before realizing how much money they had lost, and how much the master and gildarts had made.
Things that happen in the coming time skip:
Time went on, natsu had been named the 0th wizard saint. The council was going to name him the first, but he told them that he did not want to have to deal with all the administrative work that the God of ishgar must do, and didn't want to kick anyone off, and was going to refuse the title of saint, however the council hastily created the position of 0th wizard saint, as the single most powerful wizard in all of ishgar, but who wanted to remain secretive. The guild was floored to learn that Natsu had been deemed the most powerful wizard in ishgar in a trial by combat against Serana, previously God Serana, and trounced him thoroughly, all at the age of 12. They had also learned of a new member, named mavis, who was very mysterious, and always hung around natsu, living with him and happy, Natsu and Lisanna's "child" who turned out to be a winged cat. Mira and erza had been promoted to S-class in the two years after natsu had, and were still constantly at each others throats. Grey constantly attempted to get sneak attacks on natsu, which always failed, and ended in himself thoroughly embarrassed, but the guild was a fun place to be, it reminded natsu of before, when he still lived with all of his "siblings" and they would play games, he was a happy boy, even if he had a few serious moments.

"bye natsu, we will be back later, Happy said he wanted to come with us on this one," called lisanna as she was heading out with her siblings on a mission to slay a monster simply known as 'the beast'
And that's all for today folks, sorry its been a bit over a week since I put up the last two, and this ones pretty short, but hopefully the next chapter I will write either later tonight or tomorrow morning, but we shall see how my uni classes go.
