The Guild hall's door busted open and a Wet Gray and Erza stood in the doorway. Gray walked over to Natsu and slammed his palms onto the table Catching his breath for what he was about to tell Natsu and Wendy who had been looking at him weirdly.
"Natsu...*Pant Pant*... Drag...on...Hakabe...*Pant Pant*"
"Calm down Gray. What's the rush?" Lucy, The celestial mage said looking up at him and leaning her chin in the middle of her palm.
Erza walked up to the table where the three were at and slammed her fist on the table making everyone who had been in the Guild turn there head her direction.
"You seem to not understand so let me break it down to you. In the Mount. Hakabe Summit, There is a Dragon."
The Hall was filled with Gasps and Wendy, Natsu's and Lucy's gazes were now on Erza.
"What did you just say?" Natsu said making sure he heard correctly.
"You heard her correctly, Natsu." Gray said reassuringly looking at him while being hugged by Juvia.
"What should we do, Natsu-san?" Wendy said hugging Charle.
Without even thinking, Natsu started running out the Guild.
"Here we go..." Lucy said getting up from the table and following Natsu along with Happy.
"We should probably go too, Huh Charle?" Wendy said and Charle nodded following Lucy and Happy.
"Let's go, Gray. Juvia you can come if you'd like." With that, Erza followed the rest of her teammates out the guild after writing a letter to Master Makerov since he had to attend another Master's Meeting.
"You won't be leaving me! Gray-sama!" Juvia said hugging Grays arm as they walked out the door.
Later that rainy day
Team Natsu had walked a long way since Natsu and Wendy got motion sickness. Furthermore...
"And we're completely Soaked..." Lucy said squeezing the water from her skirt.
"You didn't have to come if you were going to complain ya know." Natsu said walking ahead.
"Yeah, Well I wanted to see the dragon and you do realize we could be riding in a carriage right now, Right?"
"Whatever." Natsu said.
Soon enough they had made it to the summit's entrance where it no longer rained but snowed. Since Lucy didn't want to get sick she called on Virgo, Her celestial spirit, to bring her some dry clothes and a jacket. When everyone was ready they started to walk inside.
"Now, when we get there don't wake it up or pick a fight, Do you understand Natsu?" Erza said glaring at him letting him know she means what she says.
"Yeah, Yeah. I just wanna see it! Hopefully, We get to fight..." He said saying the second part quieter with a grin.
"So what do you think a dragon is doing all the way up in Mount Hakabe? Wendy said curiously.
"Probably lost?" Gray said with his shirt off.
"Darling! Your clothes!" Juvia said blushing and eyeing his chest.
Anyway, When they got close Natsu ran where the dragon laid still asleep. Happy flew beside Natsu looking up at the reptilian with his jaw dropped open. Once the others caught up their jaws dropped as well except for Gray and Erza.
"So it was true..." Natsu said with a grin on his face.
In the corner of Happy's eye, he could see a mini box-like chest beside the Dragons mouth.
"Hey, Erza, what's that?" Happy said pointing with his paw.
Erza's eyes sparkled with joy and despair. Joy because that Box like chest could be the Mingo fruit and Despair because it was so close to the dragon.
"I need that chest! Lucy get it." Erza demanded.
"What?!" Lucy squealed quietly looking at Erza.
"Why me?! Unless you going to split the Jewel three ways it's out of the question." She said folding her arms.
Erza thought for a while about splitting the jewel three ways which wouldn't be a problem...If she didn't plan on spending her half of the money on Strawberry Cake. Erza sighed.
"I'll just get it myself." With that, Erza walked past Lucy and Natsu making her way to the box.
"Be careful Erza-san!" Wendy said.
Erza nodded and got closer nearly there. She was about a few inches from the box and when Erza reached her arms out to grab it, a blue eye was staring right at her.
"Uh-oh..." Charle said.
"Erza! Run!" Natsu yelled ready to fight.
Erza picked up the box quickly and ran back to the group. On the other hand, the dragon was fully awake shifting himself to where he was looking at Lucy, Happy, Gray, Wendy, Charle, Juvia, Natsu and Erza.
"What do we do now?" Juvia said worriedly and scared.
Everyone got into there fighting stances ready just in case they had to fight.
"You could start by giving me back that box." A deep voice echoed throughout the cave starting in the direction of the dragon.
Everyone looked perplexed.
"Did...he just...talk?" Lucy asked.
Everyone nodded except Natsu.
"Oi! Dragon!" Natsu said grinning.
The dragon turned his gaze upon Natsu.
"Do you know a dragon named igneel!? Well, he's dead now but he--"
"Igneel, The Fire Dragon, dead?" The dragon busted out laughing.
Natsu just kept a firm look on his face.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Now realizing Natsu wasn't kidding the dragon looked at the Pinkette.
"Who dealt the final blow?" The dragon asked.
"Acnologia. He's long gone now though, we ended him." Natsu said pointing behind him a little glad Magnolia was now safe once more.
"You and you're friends did what?" Now shifting into a sitting pose the dragon eyed Natsu's companions.
"Well, we couldn't have done it without all the guilds in Fiore actually." Lucy chipped in.
Blue-ish waves of light swarmed around the dragon and a puff of blue smoke emerged from the reptilian. Everyone covered their eyes with there arms so the smoke wouldn't get in them.
Once the smoke cleared, A dark-skinned man, almost identical as Acnologia's human form, with blue short hair and blue eyes sat on the rock/cliff. He was wearing a simple white shirt with a black collar and black shorts with no shoes.
"You killed Acno, or as you know him as Acnologia, is what you're telling me?" The once dragon now man said grinning leaning his chin on his palm.
"Yes, we did. Is there a problem?" Erza said still holding the box.
"Oh no, no, not at all...Totally nothing wrong with killing my little brother." He said sounding a little disappointed.
"Brother?" Everyone Thought.
"He ruthlessly killed hundreds- No millions of people!" Charle said.
"He also took Igneel my dad from me." Natsu said a little agitated.
"You. You're not his son." The man said chuckling and pointing at Natsu.
"If i remember Ignia is the only son of Igneel. You must be lying." He added.
Natsu was now furious but more shocked that he wasn't igneel's only son.
"That's enough. What is your name?" Erza said ending the tension between the two.
"..." It went silent instantly.
"Maybe he doesn't have one?" Happy said.
"Of course he does! He just doesn't want to tell us idiot." Charle said to Happy.
"I might tell you if you give me that box back." He said now looking at Erza.
Erza looked at the box and then back at the man.
"Do we really need to know his name, though?" She said not planning on giving up the box.
"I'll buy you cake Erza-san, just give him his box back." Wendy said shyly giggling and remembering Erza told her two days ago she was going to buy lots of cake with her half of the reward money.
Erza fake sniffled and tossed the man the box. He then set the box beside him. A few minutes later, a loud slashing sound hit outside the summit shaking the ground inside.
"What was that?!" Gray said catching juvia.
"You seven come stand on this rock I'm on." The man said getting up and walking towards them.
Without asking any questions everyone moved to the rock. He then walked exactly three feet from where Gray had stood before.
"You're not going to go out there?" Lucy asked.
The man shifted back into his Dragon form and turned his head.
"I'll just wait until they get here." He said.
Juvia held onto Gray and Wendy hid behind Erza. A faint sound of footsteps could be heard getting closer. possibly, 2-3 people, Charle thought. Once the small group of people could be seen walking towards the dragon, a Rough sounding voice said called out...
"What in the hell? I knew i smelled The salamander and the little girl but to think you all would be here." The figure said.
"Gajeel?!" Everyone was shaken.
"Wait...Is that a dragon...?" A short light blue haired girl popped out from beside Gajeel.
"And levy!" Lucy said.
"To think you'd notice that when you walked in." Another voice said walking into the light.
"Its...Laxus?" Gray said.
"You know these four?" The dragon spoke.
"Four?" Happy said.
"You didn't notice me?" Pantherlily said hopping out of levy's bag.
"Yes, we do." Juvia said.
With those reassuring words, the dragon shifted back into his original human form and walked back to his rock. The seven who were already on the rock scurried over to the other four of there guildmates without any hesitation.
"Now where were we?" He said grinning.
