A train rolled through the countryside of Fiore, inside this train, in one of the private cabins, sat a trio of Fairy Tail Mages, a scarlet-haired warrior, a pink-haired king of fire, and finally a woman strikingly similar to the man, the pink-haired princess of fire dragons.
These three mages were on their way to visit some of their friends in a different guild, a few cities over in a place called Gracia, this was the home of the guildhall belonging to the all females guild, Mermaid Heel.
"So what can you tell me about these girls?" Natsumi asked, curious as to what her competition is like. "What can they do?"
"I guess we should start with the two members we know best, hey Erza?" Natsu replied as he polished his black dragon sword with a cloth as it rested on his lap.
"Well Millianna is there, that is where she ended up. You'd remember her from the tower of heaven." Said Erza as she watched Natsu's technique for polishing his sword.
"Oh, I remember her! What's she like now?"
Natsu looked over at his fellow pinkette. "Catty, to the point that her kitty magic has given her a real cat's tail and ears, don't ask me how though, she's just a little odd like that."
"She is a very nice person Natsumi, I grew up with her and she and I are close friends still, even after what happened at the tower."
"And she fights wearing less than Lucy." Natsu points out. "As in much less."
"She fights in the nude!?" Natsumi yelled in surprise as he hands hide the wide grin on her mouth.
"Almost, she fights in lingerie, and looks great doing it too." Natsu said as he put his sword back in its sheath.
Erza shakes her head at his comment and pushes past it. "The more pressing issue is their ace, Kagura Mikazuchi, the woman that Natsu wants to learn under."
'Not to mention be under am I right!' END calls out in Natsu's head. 'Come on, let's tap that chick, show her our sword skills, maybe we could put it in her sheath while we are there!'
Natsu grumbles under his breath and shakes his head. "Fucking END…" He sighs and focuses on the conversation. "One thing you need to realise is that she has masterful skills at gravity magic and will use it in offence and defence and also to support her attacks, she is nothing like Blue Note Stinger."
"But if you are lucky then you won't have to deal with her, it will be myself and Yukino from Sabertooth who fight her." Erza informs the pinkette in a reassuring tone and with a soft smile.
"That being said, you should still be careful of her, she is considered one of the Four Queens of the light guilds. She is Queen of the Mermaids, Minerva Orland from Sabertooth is the Queen of the Tigers." Natsu points to the redhead seated across from him. "You have Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, then you also have Mirajane who make seem kind and pretty but piss her off and you'll meet the Queen of the Demons."
"But I won't have to fight Erza and Mira at the games right?" Natsumi asked as she looked between the two mages.
"Erza will be on your team."
"That I will, though the actual teams may be different for you, or they could be the same but the tasks themselves would be different."
"You know, with the whole multiverse, different choices produce different outcomes shtick… Yeah, it's that thing again." Natsu said as he rolled his hand around. "Point being is that the people behind the games might choose to pit different mages against each other than in our version, so don't expect to be slumped with pushovers though that may happen, considering Blue Pegasus is taking part."
"Ooh ouch, I felt the burn on that from all the way over here." Natsumi said with a wide grin.
Suddenly, a wave of strange magic swept through the train, causing it to buffet about slightly.
"What the fuck!" Natsu shouted, extremely thankful that he is no longer affected by motion sickness, he watched as their clothes started glowing out of nowhere and began to change. "Oh Fuck OFF!"
The trio's clothes had been transformed to black skin-tight latex bodysuits, much to Natsu's horror, Erza's enjoyment and Natsumi's curiosity.
"Fucking hell! When I find those bastards I'm going to wring their necks!" Natsu yelled as he jumped up off the bench seat, he swung the sheathed sword around to his back which activates the runes on the sheath, holding it in place on his back.
"Come on Natsu, it's not that bad." Erza said as she tried to mitigate his anger.
"Yeah, the tight suit brings out your body in all the right places!" Natsumi confirmed with a grin as she wolf-whistled, her eyes on the bulge at his crotch.
'Kiddo I don't like this either, I sense it's some kind of forced transformation magic that transfigured our clothes into this atrocious shit. Burn the magic with our cursed fire.'
'No trace of it on our clothes, going to have to do something about the caster to reverse it.' Natsu replied as he stalked out of the room.
Natsumi's eyes watched the dangerous man level their private cabin. "Should we stop him, or even help him?"
"No, I'm not bothered with this outfit, it's not the first time I have worn this." Erza replied calmly as she sipped a cup of tea that magically appeared.
Natsumi blanched and scratched her head in bemusement. "I guess it isn't so bad, fits snuggly in all the right places and is strangely turning me on just wearing it, I might have to get myself something like this for myself."
Erza smiled playfully as her eyes narrowed on the princess, she cocks her head to the side slightly as a faint air of domination surrounds her. "Oh, I know the perfect place for those types of clothes."

Natsu made his way past the cabins in his carriage, occasionally glancing inside a cabin only to be met with latex full-bodysuits, he grumbles angrily as his hands clench and unclench.
"Boss! This was the best plan we have ever come up with!"
"Yeah! Who knew that if we turn their clothes into our Jiggle Suits and ransom their clothes that I would be so profitable!"
Natsu's keen hearing could hear the culprits of this atrocity in the next carriage, his blood boiled as he broke out into a run.
"Calm down you two, we still have a few carriages left, once we jiggle our way through to the last cabin and fleece them then we can bounce out of here."
"We haven't even had to gas anyone yet either, they have been very willing subjects!"
Natsu stepped into the cabin and came face to… butt with the infamous Jiggle Butt Gang. The trio consisted of their leader and his cohorts, Wonderful Gocche along with Kalen Berg and Marco Belunjay.
One of the butts jiggled right in front of the dragon slayer's face. "What's this? Boys, it looks like we have a visitor."
"Boss, I've seen this man before, we better stay primed, this one is very dangerous."
"You fuckers better reverse that mother fucking spell right FUCKING NOW!" Natsu said as he grew angrier and drew his sword. "Or I'll give your asses a fucking reduction!"
"Men! Secret Jiggle Butt Art: Gas-Butt Triple Ecstasy!" The boss called out as they positioned their posteriors in a triangle formation.
"Oh no you fucking don't." The pinkette said as he held out his hand, he activated the Bomb Curse and used its range mode to place yellow curse circles right on the gas outlets. "If you let one rip then you'll end up blowing chunks."
"Defuse!" Gocche shouted as they powered down the spell. "What do you want?"
"I just fucking told you what I want!" Natsu adjusted the power of the curse and set it off, blowing the three men down the length of the carriage as he stalks after them. "Reverse the fucking spell, or I'll kill the three of you and make the spell die with you!'
'Fucking do it anyway, these arseholes are a blight on everyone's life.' END said as he sat back in a mental chair and ate some mental popcorn.
Natsu's eyes shifted from a dark obsidian green to a vivid blood-red while he walked towards the men who sat on their smoking asses on the verge of shitting themselves.
"Ah Boss…? I think we hit the wrong train."
"No fucking shit Sherlock." Natsu replied coldly as his demeanour started to dramatically change to dark and sadistic and tendrils of fire seeped out of his body as a wicked grin spread across his face.
"I'm feeling a little generous right now, change everyone's clothes back and give back what you have stolen, or I'll do it myself and leave you three nothing more than huge, wet red stains all over this carriage…"
"Boss… Boss!" Shouted Marco as he fearfully shuffled backwards, away from the demonic man and his ever-encroaching dark red tendrils of fire.
The tendrils snaked their way across the hallway, slithering along the walls, floors and even the ceiling, though they left no marks, no damage in their wake.
The light coming through the windows suddenly disappeared as the train went into a tunnel, now the only light that was given off was a very dark red light that illuminated a small area surrounding the tendrils of fire and the two glowing demonic eyes that stood out in stark contrast to the darkness.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
"Is that what I think it is?" Natsumi asked as a cold shiver ran down her spine, she could sense a dark but familiar power emanating from a bit further up the train.
"Yeah… That's Natsu, he must have been angrier than I thought and released his demonic power." Erza responded as she stuck her head out of the door.
"Are you worried about him?"
"No Natsumi, no I'm more worried about the Jiggle Butt Gang, if he is like this then those three are in grave danger."
"Oh…"
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
One of the fiery tendrils snaked its way up the leg of Kalen, he started to panic and tried to kick his leg out and get out of the tight grasp of it as it started to tug back on his leg. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!"
"Kalen!" Gocche shouted as the man started to get dragged away into the darkness, he reached out and tried to grab the man's hand.
Kalen grabbed it but only just, their fingers locked together. "Help! I don't want to die!"
The was a glint of black steel that swept by their fingers, the back of Natsu's black dragon blade met their fingers and knocked them apart, allowing the man to be pulled back and become swallowed in darkness.
"Kalen…!"
…
"Kalen is gone… he won't be coming back or jiggling anymore." Whispered a dark voice into Gocche's ear making him snap to the direction of the voice, but there was nothing there, only darkness.
Another tendril launched forwards, this time from the ceiling, it raced towards Marco and wrapped around his neck, causing the man to grasp at it and try to pull it off as it slowly lifted the man off the ground.
"H-help… M-me…!" He gasped as he clawed and choked.
Gocche leapt forwards and tried to grab his partner only for the man to get whipped back into the darkness where he too fell silent.
"P-please, g-give me my partners back… I-I'll do anything!"
The pair of glowing demonic eyes observed the man as he bowed down on his hands and knees, contemplating the request before a voice met the begging man's ears. "So be it, fulfil my previous request and you will have your friends returned to you."
"Of course, I'll release the spell right now!" Gocche said hurriedly as he said the incantation, sending another magic pulse through the train and returning the clothes back to normal.
"Good, now return the things you have stolen, to their rightful owners. Now!"
The tendrils moved forward, bringing the two men out of the darkness, unconscious but alive and most likely scarred for life.
"Wake!" The voice commanded, stirring the two members of the Jiggle Butt Gang back to the land of the living. "Now go do as I commanded."
The fire receded, leaving only two glowing red orbs in the darkness, slowly it became one red orb then none at all.
The train left the tunnel which lit the carriage back up again, but the only people inside the hallway were the three shaken members of the Jiggle Butt Gang, the demonic entity had completely vanished.
"C-come on… let's go give this stuff back…"
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Natsu stepped back into his private cabin, his eyes back to normal along with his clothes too. "Well, that fixed that problem."
"You didn't kill them… Did you?" Natsumi asked the man as she looked up at him, her hand on her white scaled scarf.
"No, just scared she absolute shit out of them to teach them a lesson. I don't think they'll do something like that again."
"Pity, and here was Natsumi enjoying the feel of the tight latex on her skin, how it hugged every curve and squeezed her in all the right places." Teased Erza with a grin directed at the fire dragon princess.
Natsumi blushed darkly as her temper rose. "Oi! You didn't help, you were telling me about how you know this store where I could by all these different outfits and toys!"
Natsu just looked between the saucy looking redhead and the embarrassed but excited pinkette. "I am honestly not surprised…"
He moved to the bench and placed his sheathed sword against the window. "Well, I don't think we'll have much trouble from now on."
"Hopefully it is nice and quiet until we reach Gracia." Erza said as she watched the man lay down on the bench.
"Definitely." Natsumi replied as she scooted over so that Natsu's head landed on her lap.
Gracia Train Station
"Attention Passengers. We are arriving at Gracia Station, prepare to disembark."
Natsumi gently shook the older fire dragon slayer awake as the train rolled into the station. "Natsu, we're here, wake up."
Natsu grumbles and rolls onto his side, burying his head into her lap causing Erza to stand and walk over. "I know how to get him up."
"Huh, ok, go for it." Natsumi said as she looks up at the redhead as she leans down to his ear.
"Hey Natsu, Mira is planning an orgy, you better wake up or you'll miss it."
'Wake the fuck right up NOW!' END shouts in Natsu's head and making him wake up with a start. 'Mira wants to have an orgy!'
"I'm up…" Natsu said with a groan as he held his head and shook it gently. "END said something about an orgy?"
Natsumi cracked up laughing. "Oh my gods, I can't believe that worked Erza!"
"I learnt a thing or two from those two Erzas in that other universe." She replied as she stood with her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face.
Natsu grumbled and shook his head at her new antics, he looked out the window at the station. "We are at Gracia now right?"
"Yeah, we just arrived. It's time to get off the train." Said the redhead as she handed the man his sword.
"Alright." The man stood and swung the sword onto his back. "Let's get going."
The trio made their way out of the station and out to the streets, the inhabitants of Gracia turned their heads as the three Fairy Tail members walked passed them, their whispers reaching Natsu and Natsumi's ears.
"Isn't that Natsu and Erza from Fairy Tail? Who's the pink-haired girl?" Asked one man to another.
…
"Hey those are Fairy Tail mages, I wonder what is going on." A woman said as she nudged her boyfriend.
…
"Oh My Gods! It's Natsu! He is so hot~!" Swooned two young women. "OMG! Look at those tattoos~!"
"Hey Natsu, does this usually happen to you?" Natsumi asked, curious as to the comments she hears coming from around them.
"Kinda, it started with the GMG, more so at the second one I attended where I melted the stadium along with everyone's' clothes." He replied as he put his arms behind his head.
'I could get used to this kind of attention, you think any of them would drop their panties if we asked them?' END asked as he rubbed his hands together.
'Most likely, all I would need to do is sniff out the horny and wet ones.'
'Maybe we should go for a swim?'
"Natsu, whatever END is saying ignore it for a sec, I'm trying to talk to you." Erza said sternly, snapping the man out of his inner thoughts.
"Ah sorry, he was being perverted."
'So were you!'
"Anyway, what's up Erza?"
"You know they won't let you in right?" Erza said as she pointed her thumb at the Mermaid Heel Guild Hall.
Natsu shrugs and walked to the door and placed his back on it. "Who knows, they may let me in."
"I doubt that." The redhead replied with a sigh as she knocked on the door.
"Maybe I could fool them?" Natsumi asked, looking between the two older mages.
"Who knows, it's possible but I wouldn't be surprised if they have runes on the doors to alert them of it." Natsu said as he crossed his arms. "Since it's an all females guild I'm willing to put money on it."
The door slowly opened and revealed a brown-haired farm girl, she looked up at the redhead clad in armour and smiled. "Erza! We weren't expecting you, how are you?" She said with a drawl.
"I'm very well, thank you for asking, how are you Beth?"
"Did I Hear Erza?!" Shouted a girl from inside the hall as running could be heard.
Suddenly another brunette appeared, this one was only in a bra, panties and knee-highs and had spikey hair and brown cat ears and a tail. "Er-Chan!"
She leapt forward and wrapped the redhead into a tight hug, her eyes spotted the pinkette that stood a little behind the redhead, she looked like Natsu but for some reason, He was a She…
"Yo! What happened to you Natsu!" Millianna shouted as her eyes widened at the princess. "How are you a girl?"
"Well… you see… there was this accident at the guild…" Natsumi said as she played with her hands behind her back.
Natsu stayed silent as he rose an eyebrow, curious at how long it takes for her to realise.
'Dude! This chick is hot!' END shouted and caused Natsu to shake his head silently.
"We chose to call me Natsumi…" The fire dragon princess said as she glanced to the male pinkette.
"She is lying, Millianna." Said a neutral voice as another female stepped out of the doorway, it was the swordswoman Kagura. "Hello Big Sis."
"Good morning Kagura, may we come inside."
"Lying? What do you mean?" Millianna asked as her head spun around to Kagura, spotting her stood next to the pinkette with demonic markings. "Oh…"
Kagura was quietly examining the sword that hovered behind Natsu's back. "Let me speak to the Mistress, she may make an exception for you."
"Thank you Kagura, we actually came to visit for two reasons but I'll tell you inside if I am able to."
"Mistress?" Natsumi asked as Kagura disappeared into the hall.
"It's what she calls our Guild Master. Who are you by the way?" Millanna replies as she curiously examines the female dragon slayer.
"I'm Natsumi, I'm Natsu but from a different universe where I was born female and am genetically different. So basically instead of being a Fire Dragon Prince, I am the Fire Dragon Princess."
"So you can do what Natsu can do?" Beth asked the princess curiously.
"Wait! You're a princess?!" Millianna shouts in awe, her eyes snap to Natsu as they widen. "You never told me you were a prince!"
"I kinda did you know… I always said that my dad, Igneel, was the king of the fire dragons…" He replied as he scratched the back of his head. "And to answer your question Beth, she can do everything I could do back during the Grand Magic Games."
"Oh?" Beth said curiously as she looked up at the taller, bustier woman.
The second door, the one which Natsu was resting against, started to open and made him lose his balance. "Oh shit…"
He fell to the floor but was cushioned by a pair of soft pillows, he groaned at the familiar sensation of boobs and ran a hand down his face. "Who'd I fall on…?"
"Kagura… you fell on Kagura." Millianna told him as she watched the man sit up and move off the poor unsuspecting woman.
Natsu turned and helped the somewhat annoyed woman to her feet. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting that door to open, or to fall back onto someone."
"I guess its fine, it was an accident after all." She replied as she dusted herself off. "Anyway, congratulations on being the first male allowed into our guild hall."
The girls followed the two mages into the hall as the members of Mermaid Heel turned to look at the man in their midst with varying emotions.
"Why is a man in here?" One of them said with disgust.
"It's not just some sleazy man, Steph, its Natsu from the Fairy Tail guild." Replied the girl sitting next to the first.
"So? I can still take him, he can't be that tough now can he."
Natsu moved closer to Kagura and leant his head near her ear, whispering softly so he won't be overheard. "Not very hospitable…"
Kagura looked out the corner of her eye and gave a small smile. "Don't worry about them, they could use being put in their place, and maybe you'll be a good influence on those of us who don't have much trust in men."
"Oi! Step away from Kagura you bastard!"
Natsu looked at the woman who stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, he raised an eyebrow at her and looked between Kagura and the woman.
"Steph, leave our guest alone, he hasn't done any harm." Kagura said, sternly, as her eyes narrowed at her fellow guild member.
The pinkette just let out a sigh and placed his hands in his pocket. "No, it's fine."
He took a few steps away then gave the woman a 'come at me' gesture. "Give me your best shot, I won't stop it in any way."
He let out a yawn and covered his mouth gently, knowing that he is getting under her skin even though he just wants this to be done with.
The woman's eye twitches as she tries not to fly off the handle in the middle of the guild. "You think you are such a big shot alpha male don't you?"
"Frankly, I really don't care…" Natsu replied as he crossed his arms and waited for her to attack.
Steph's hands were twitching, the whole guild had their eyes on the two mages in anticipation of what's to come, even the guild master came out of her office.
The woman whipped her hands up then down as she produces whips of fire, making the pinkette release a bored sigh. "You really have no clue who you are trying to fight do you?"
"Why should I care, you men are pigs!"
Kagura stepped in between the two mages, blocking Steph from attacking as she placed a hand on the hilt of Archenemy. "You are trying to attack the Fire Dragon Slayer with fire, you have no power against him, and even if you tried to punch him or anything then you would still lose."
"BULLSHIT!"
"Natsu." Erza said as she moved to the bar and orders a strawberry cheesecake. "Try not to cause a scene, and try not to cause too much collateral damage."
"Alright, I promise not to eat your fire or use my own magic." Natsu said as he puts his hands on his hips in annoyance. "Let's just get this over with, I've got better things to do with my time."
Steph became angrier at the dragon slayer's statement and leapt past Kagura with her fire whips trailing after her. "Cocky Son Of A Bitch!"
One of the whips flew towards the calm looking fire dragon slayer who just grabbed the fire with a very bored look on his face. With a heavy tug on it, he yanked the woman towards him at a breakneck pace, cocking a fist back at the same time.
"SHIT!" Steph shouted as his fist launched forwards and collided with her stomach, knocking the wind out of her and sending her flying back, slamming hard into the wall on the other side of the hall.
"Well, you were warned not to mess with Natsu…" Millianna said as she went to take care of the woman.
Natsu turned his attention to the middle aged, but still remarkably beautiful, woman. "I'm sorry things came to blows but I knew there was no other way."
"It's quite alright, some of my girls have a distrust of men but I wouldn't hold that against them if I were you."
The girls just stared in awe at the man who just floored one of their stronger A-class members with a single unpowered punch, the girl who sat with Steph gulped and raised her hand as if she was asking a teacher a question. "Umm… Natsu-san…? What class are you…?"
Natsu opened his mouth to respond but Erza beat the man to it. "Natsu is an S-class mage of Fairy Tail. Usually we don't promote people out of nowhere as we go through trials, but given the circumstances of the past few years, Natsu had proved himself worthy of the title of S-class mage."
"If he didn't pass your trials then how did you choose to promote him?" Kagura asked, surprised at the new titbit of information, usually the magazines, such as Sorcerer's Weekly, cover everything that happens in a guild the size and notoriety of Fairy Tail.
"They had a meeting to determine my fate after certain things happened during the Century Quest we took after the awards ceremony for Lucy's book." Natsu replied as he made his way to the bar where Erza was happily eating her cake.
"Ok, I've got a more pressing question!" Millianna said as she came back from the infirmary, she walked over to the king of fire and prodded him in the chest with her finger. "Why did you decide to get tattoos, they look awesome on you!"
'Oooo, big jiggly titties, not as big as blondie's but they look nice and firm, I bet they are extremely sensitive.' END said in the dragon slayer's head.
The bartender looked over curiously as her eyes narrowed on the man.
"Well I didn't really have much choice…"
"What do you mean?" Millianna asked him curiously as she ran her hand down one of his arms, enjoying the feeling of the strong muscles under her hand.
Natsu looked to Erza for council, silently asking her a question.
She sighed and turned on the stool to face her childhood friend. "We found out during the war that Natsu was more than just a Gen 1 Dragon Slayer like Gajeel and Wendy."
"Meaning?" Kagura asked.
"Show them Natsu."
"Are you sure?" He replied, a frown on his face as he searched the redhead's expression.
"Just don't use any powers."
"Well I guess I have the go-ahead… follow me, I prefer keeping the number of people who know to a minimum." He lead Kagura and Millianna up to the guild master's office and went inside, not bothering to ask for permission.
The guild master followed the trio into the office and sat behind her desk, waiting for Natsu to being talking.
"So basically I'm part human dragonslayer and part Etherious." Natsu said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Don't go around telling everyone this too, I am only telling you lot as we trust you girls, and your guild master should probably know who is in her guild hall."
He looked at Kagura and sighed. "I know you are aware of this, that I am Zeref's younger brother, considering you fought Lacarde."
"He said you were his uncle… is that true?"
"Nope, he was just one of Zeref's creations, in his words Lacarde was just a template for me, for if resurrecting my human body didn't work I'm guessing."
"Wait, so you have died?" The guild master asked, shock and surprise written all over her face, as with Millianna too.
"Yes, I have, Master… What was your name again?"
"Please call me Shianne, just Shianne will do."
Natsu gave the mature beauty a smile. "Alright, Shianne."
The woman's eyes lit up, she enjoyed the way her name rolled off his tongue, the way it sounded was like honey to her ears, her eyes began to roam his body.
Natsu didn't notice this as his attention was on the two other women in the room, mainly Millianna who was going practically nuts at the news.
"Wait you died! How?! When?! What did it feel like?! Is there anything after death?!"
"Calm down Millianna. Let Natsu speak. I'm sure he still has a lot to tell us." Kagura said, her tone was even but in her head, she was a mess and was thinking the exact same things her friend was.
"Ok, well I was born over 400 years ago, I had a family, a mum and dad, and my older brother Zeref. One day, dragons attacked our village, the only one who lived in our family was Zeref." Natsu stated as he walked to a nearby couch and laid down on it.
"Ok, that covers the How and When questions." Kagura said as she made her way over and sat on the armrest beside his head. "What about our other questions, I'd like to add one of my own too. How did you come back to life?"
"Well I can't explain how it felt to die back then, but I can tell you what I know from the close calls I had during the war with Alvarez. It felt like all the power, all my will, left my body, it went limp and my vision was fading, I only survived thanks to Lucy and Gray, they had the Book of END, the book that my life was tied to."
"Was…?" Shianna asked, her eyes snapping to his face. "How do you mean?"
'Hey kiddo, do you think that dress suits that guild master, or do you think she'd look better without it?'
Natsu's eyes drifted to the mature woman's body. "They made it so that when the book disintegrated when my brother died, that I would not follow suit, but Lucy must have done something in her efforts to save me from my linked fate. I'll get to that soon."
He turned his attention to the near-naked catgirl, his eyes following her tail that swayed almost hypnotically. "As for what comes after death, I can't really put it into words."
"OK, what about how you were brought back to life."
He tilted his head to look up at the swordswoman. "All those Etherious were trials of how to bring me back, my brother wanted to bring me back to life so that I could live the life I was robbed of, in the process he became cursed with the curse of contradiction and his motives became different over time. Eventually, he succeeded, and was able to use my perfectly preserved body."
Shianne tilted her head up slightly. "And thus, you became Etherious Natsu Dragneel, also known as the demon called END correct?"
The pinkette sighed as he sat up. "Spot on, you put two and two together, now I am wondering if you believe the stories of END, seeing that he is the man sat in front of you."
Millianna and Kagura were both dead silent, their jaws on the floor and their eyes as wide as saucers, finding it hard to believe that a man as nice as Natsu was the same person as the infamous demon END.
"No, I don't believe what they have said about you, I've done my research on you dragon slayers, specifically the ones that came through the Eclipse Gate. Your own history doesn't even line up with those fables."
'I was stuck in a book all that time we were separated, what does she expect?'
"Natsu…" Millianna said quietly as she played with her fingers nervously having remembered stories of the demons of Tartaros. "Can you show us your Etherious form…"
"It's less of a form and more like a natural side of me, though it's a far more serious and darker side of me, but that's only due to being powered by negative emotions around me." Natsu replied as he rose up off the couch, he gave her head a soothing pat which made her cat ears twitch and brought a smile to her face. "There is nothing special about it, it's not like I grow massive and turn green."
The women watched as Natsu pulled his red tank top off and placed it on the desk, Shianne licked her lips at the rippling muscles on show in front of her.
The pinkette closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calmly releasing his curse power and activating his demonic form, making the ember markings expand to his neck and torso as they glow red, he opened his eyes with a deviously playful grin, his eyes growing red as they lustfully gaze over their womanly bodies.
Shianne shivered at the steamy look and started to rub her thighs together, looking for some satisfaction. "Oh~ that kind of look would make any woman putty in your hands, that's a very dangerous power you have."
"Heh, sorry but in this form, I guess you could say I am very lustful, I have END to blame for that." He taps the side of his head. "He developed as a second consciousness in the book of END, so now he is in my head and when we are like this, those two conscious sides of mine basically have a tighter link, but eventually the two sides will become one, we don't know when that will happen though."
"Wait so you are a horny demon? Like an Incubus?" Shianne asked as her eyes widen in surprise like that of her guild members.
Natsu broke out in laughter, he found the statement funnier than usual due to his linked personalities. "No, no haha, I'm not an Incubus, though I swear I know a succubus. No END just has a lot of pent up sexual energy."
Both Kagura and Millianna had heavy blushes at the thought of a sexy incubus Natsu and what that entails, they glanced at each other then quickly looked away as their master spoke up again.
"Natsu, since you were so kind in allowing us the privilege of knowing about and seeing this side of you, might I make one request?"
"Sure Shianne, what is it?"
"Could you, for your entire stay here, remain shirtless and stay in that form for us. Please~." She asked with puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah sure, I don't see any harm in that." He replied with a shrug of his shoulders, not noticing the deepening blush of the two women by the couch as their eyes traced his muscles.
"Alright." The master said as she stood up from her chair, thankful she is in a dress so that her arousal wouldn't be seen. "If that is all then let's go down to the hall again."
The pinkette put his hand on the tank top only for Kagura to grab his wrist. "You heard what our Mistress said Natsu, no shirt."
"I'm not putting it on, don't worry." He uses his Requip magic to put it away for safekeeping. "See, all fine."
The Mermaid Heel Master led the way out of her office, drawing attention to the group and causing all eyes to stare at Natsu. "Girls, I know Natsu looks different than before, but he told the three of us what this is, think of it as his true self. I've asked him to stay like this for the duration of his stay with us." She gave her girls a playful smirk. "I hope you all don't mind because I know I don't."
Well, that's the end of another chapter, I hope you like it, Natsu is going to slowly start changing to become more of a mix between his two sides, you can expect him to be a bit more unfiltered during his stay at Mermaid Heel, mainly due to his promise to stay in his Etherious Form.
Anyway, stay turned for further updates, check out my profile if you want to see my other work/s (I may be working on a collection of oneshots soon). As always I hope you have enjoyed and peace and chicken grease, I'm out!
