CHAOTIC VOID – GRANDEENEY!
Natsu could see a large white she-dragon perched atop a cliff. CHAOTIC VOID! He soon appeared next to her. Her voice was gentle, and one that showed kindness. "I, I'm lost," Natsu said. "Come, young one, allow me to guide you through the - ."Natsu had stabbed his sword-like hands through her legs. "It's time to die," he muttered under his breath. Grandeeney retracted in response to his sudden attack. "So you're a Dragon Slayer" she growled, a hint of betrayal in her eyes.
"Sure am!" Natsu laughed. With a smirk on his face, he dashed towards Grandeeney. IRON DRAGON'S CLUB! Natsu's hand turned into a large iron pole. KARMA DEMON: IRON SPIRAL! Several more poles like the first one were replicated on the ground. Grandeeney had poles stabbing at her from all sides. "SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!" Grandeeney let out a large gust of the heavens and blasted Natsu across the chasm.
Activate DRAGON FORCE! Natsu screamed as he became enveloped in an aura of purple and black magical energy. "I will tear you apart as I did to Metalicana!" He began to conjure up his magical energy once more. CHAOS DRAGON SECRET ART: HYPER BEAM OF DISCORD! Natsu released a large blast from his mouth. Grandeeney tried to block the attack with her wings, but the beam came at her too quickly. She shrieked in pain, as Natsu's beam enveloped around her. "I'm sorry, Wendy" she whispered as she fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Wendy? Who's that? Natsu shook the thought out of his head. CHAOS DRAGON SECRET ART: BLACK EXECUTIONER! Grandeeney's head rolled off as the cut was clean. ABSORB SOUL! Natsu absorbed Grandeeney's magic power and spells. SKY DRAGON'S ROAR! I wonder what it would be like if I combined my attacks? UNISON RAID: CHAOTIC SKIES! Dark clouds appeared over where he was standing. A large tornado of Purple magic and blue magic morphed into one. This is awesome! I can combine my attacks into even stronger ones!
With his Dragon Force, Natsu was nearly unstoppable. He targeted dragons of each element one by one. Flash the Lightning Dragon, Skiadrum the Shadow Dragon, and Weisslogia, the White Dragon of Light. As Natsu defeated each of these powerful beings, he felt himself growing stronger. LIGHTNING DRAGON SECRET ART: CIRCLE OF DIVINE PUNISHMENT! Natsu aimed all of his power at the hulk of ice standing before him. A yellow circle appeared in the sky, consistently rotating. Bolts of Blue Lightning came crashing down upon the dragon in front of him. He had hoped it would cause a spark to appear, hence creating fire. To his dismay, the dragon blocked it with his large crystallized wings.
Kosetsu, the Dragon of Ice, was one of the stronger dragons. "ICE DRAGON'S SECRET ART: FROZEN BEAM!" he roared as a large beam of ice was directed at Natsu. Thankfully, he avoided the attack. The battlefield was now covered with ice; the place looking like it had been encased in crystal. ACTIVATE SKY DRAGON FORCE! Natsu found himself surrounded by an aura of faded blue. His wounds began to heal, the scars on his body beginning to close. His Energy was slowly being replenished. "ICE DRAGON'S ENCASEMENT!" the frozen beast chanted. A field of ice approached Natsu's direction. The Ice began to crystallize his legs, his arms, and soon enough, Natsu couldn't move at all. Not being able to move meant that he couldn't cast any spells. He remembered what Acnologia did in the underworld. I wonder if I could summon her, too.
"By thy ancestor, the great Lucifer of the Leviathan 5, from the depths of the Underworld, I call upon thee, Etherious of the Present, Sitri!" he chanted. To his amazement, nothing happened. Oh no, this is very bad. In the shadows, Acnologia repeated the words his disciple had chanted, understanding that he needed help. Of course, he doesn't have fire magic! After Acnologia muttered his words, the she-devil appeared in front of him. "Why did you summon me in the broad daylight?" she hissed at the black dragon king. Acnologia pointed towards the direction of the heated battle between Natsu and the Ice Dragon. "You see those two over there? Help my boy defeat the Ice Dragon". Sitri nodded and launched herself into the battle. "By my ancestors, lend me your power and the power of the Underworld; Go, SOLAR HELLFIRE!" Sitri summoned a portal that spewed fire of crimson red. Kosetsu took a large blow from the attack. "Argh," he cried. "Ice Dragon – ROAR!" A large beam of frost powered through the landscape yet again.
CHAINS OF AGONY – BIND WITHIN THE FIERY DEPTHS OF THE UNDERWORLD! Sitri paralyzed the Ice Dragon King. "Exactly what I needed," Natsu thanked the she-devil. "Glad to be of your assistance." CHAOS DRAGON SECRET ART: BLACK EXECUTIONER! Natsu absorbed the ice dragon's powers and beamed. I'm one element away from acquiring the last elemental roar spell; I need the element of fire.
3 years later… (Natsu Age 12)
ICE DRAGON'S SECRET ART: ARCTIC TUNDRA! The ground around him collapsed as everything around Natsu became encased in ice. The air around him reached temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius. After his 3 years of intense training, Natsu had learned to master most of the elements that he had gathered a while ago. He became particularly fluent with switching between elements at will. UNISON RAID: HOLY LIGHTNING FREEZE! A circle of white light appeared in the sky. Down came bolts of white lightning that struck the nature around him. Everything that was unfortunate enough to get hit either was demolished or became frozen. "I'm ready to acquire the last and most challenging element: Fire!" I should be ready to take on any fire dragon now, so let's have some fun!
"I challenge all fire dragons at once!" Natsu complained. "Think before you speak so boldly like that!" a loud voice boomed from seemingly nowhere. A large flame came crashing towards Natsu and blasted him into the ground. Ugh, my head. While getting up, Natsu defiantly threatened his attacker, "I'll make you pay for what you just did there!" CHAOS DRAGON ROAR! The red dragon easily maneuvered around the attack. "Hehe, you're the little monster Acnologia raised, aren't you? You're catching up to your old man, just as heartless, just as much of a monster!" With another stream of fire, the dragon knocked Natsu down, yet again.
"You're a pretty tough challenge! Too bad you won't be around to fight me when I'm even stronger!" Natsu scoffed at the red dragon. "You sure are cocky. I am Igneel, the king of Fire Dragons, and I will take you down! FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" the red dragon bellowed before unleashing a fireball of molten fury at the boy. Flames erupted on the ground, and through the forests nearby. Natsu's body couldn't take the heat any longer; it was beginning to lose its physical form. This is the first dragon to have beaten me after Acnologia. He's very powerful, I respect him. With those words, Natsu began to lose consciousness. Where is Acnologia? In the distance, Natsu could hear the Fire Dragon preparing another attack. "Fire Dragon's FLAMING COMET!" The dragon slammed the ground at such a great force that chunks of large rocks flew into the air. It then took off in the air and made a dive at Natsu. This is the end. I'm going to die here today. Yet, Natsu didn't feel the expected impact. He opened his eyes, to see the Fire Dragon standing over him. "How did you just feel when I was about to kill you?" the dragon inquired.
"Just finish me off already," Natsu muttered under his breath. "Do you really want me to do that?" the dragon boomed, a flame forming within his mouth. "No no, I didn't mean that." "Then answer my question. How did you feel?" Natsu paused for a moment to think over the question. "Fear; for the first time in so many years, I felt fear." "Anything else?" "While you were beating me up, I felt a strong sense of despair, and anger my inability to fight back." "So you very well know how the dragons you've slain felt as well?" Natsu nodded to show that he understood. "Listen, boy, lives aren't just the existence of someone, not just a simple state of being. Being alive means much more; it means having a family, having friends, and feeling loved. Feeling that you aren't alone. People LIVE for each other. Do you get that?"
Natsu repeated the Dragon's words to himself as he tried to understand. "Love," he whispered, "Family?" Memories of his hometown being burned down crashed into his mind. The Chaos, the devastation, the feelings came flooding back. "Acnologia…" he muttered through his clenched teeth. He balled up his fist. It was because of that despicable being, that Natsu knew of no family, and didn't know what life meant anymore. "ACNOLOGIA!" he screamed, as tears began to form around his eyes. Igneel looked at the boy in pity. He's a poor soul, having his town destroyed by the Apocalyptic Black Dragon at such a young age, having all of his emotions stripped from him. He was reformed to kill. How many corpses has he seen? "Igneel?" the boy asked, "Will you be my family?" The Fire Dragon King was taken aback by this sudden gesture. "Yes, Natsu. Do you want to be my son?" The boy nodded and hugged the Red Dragon's large claw.
"Yes, father." "You are now Natsu Dragneel, the Prince of Fire Dragons."
With that, Natsu and his new father left the bloodied battlefield.
