Chapter 3: The Sky Dragon
June 25th-X778
''I'm bored'' said Natsu sitting by himself with his head on a table as he stared at the guild members drinking and fighting. After a couple of weeks, his life at Fairy Tail changed quite a bit. After Natsu and the Strauss' joined the guild, Erza, the scarlet haired mage, saw the Fire Dragon Slayer as her rival because of their short battle and his attitude. He also gained Gray as a rival, but he didn't seem to really care at all. In his eyes, Natsu saw the scarlet haired girl as a worthy opponent in the future with the right tools if she took training seriously. As with Gray, he saw nothing extraordinary in him. He had nothing against Ice mages and heard about Ice make, which is a common magic, but could be very dangerous if the user had an imaginative mind which, in Natsu's mind, the raven haired boy didn't have. What was annoying for him, was that every time that Natsu entered or left the guild, Gray launched himself at him with an attack that could easily be dodged or blocked and Natsu simply knocked him away.
'For Baal's sake, do something! I can't take this anymore. If you're so bored, why don't you go on a fucking mission or hang out with the Strauss'?' Lilith said annoyed. Sometimes, she regretted that she couldn't go outside and kill everyone in the guild, since that would bring the attention of the Magic Council. She could take them by herself, but unfortunately, Natsu, even at his current incredible level, couldn't take them...yet.
'She's training with Elfman and Lisanna in Take Over magic. They're still in the basics and Elfman can't completely transform, I don't know why' Natsu said to himself. It was odd for him that the male Strauss could only change his arm instead of his entire body.
'Then get a job! No way my cute apprentice will turn into one of those...people' she said with disdain in her voice. During the last weeks, the orange haired Demon watched the members of the supposedly strongest guild in Fiore. They passed the most of their time drinking, fighting, hanging out with their friends and going on jobs only when they need money. Lilith didn't have a problem with that, she used to do the same thing with her fellow Demon Lords with a few extras, but unlike them, they used some part of their time to train their skills and get real action with their rivals or enemies. But the Fairy Tail members passed the time by slacking around and growing arrogant as well. Believing that if you've got comrades close to your heart is a one thing you're strong, but letting it rule your life can be dangerous.
'Look I find them as annoying and noisy as you do, but aren't you exaggerating a bit?' Natsu asked.
'Exaggerating a bit? Brat, I love fighting, drinking, sleeping and having sex, but I not only train to not lose my title, but also to not lose to the face of my enemies. Those people barely use magic to do their jobs. Humans, back then, could do very surprising things with their magic, their skills were very impressive, even for Demons. But every human possesses the same weaknesses, pride and ego' she explained.
'Pride and ego?'
'To make it simple. Just because you join a strong guild, that doesn't mean you're automatically considered strong by the others. Look at me, I'm one of the Demon Lords and one of the most powerful ones. My strength is comparable with one of the four elite knights of the Demon King. But I didn't become a Demon Lord just because I joined them or received the mark, it is because of my actions and reputation that brought me to them. Demons and magical creatures know my name and my rank. I didn't let my ego control me because I know that other Demons will be stronger than me and they can kill me and the others easily. Some people join the strongest guilds to feel secure or to have fame and feel invincible and let the powerful ones do the jobs and use the excuse that this guild is family. Family can make someone strong or vulnerable, thinking that having bonds will make you invincible is bullshit. In Earthland, people will judge you for your name and strength not for the name of your guild.'
'So, to make a guild strong, the guild needs strong people who are always working and improving to be the best, but if you take those people away, the guild will be just an ordinary guild like the others...' Natsu tried to understand.
'Not bad, brat, don't forget that being strong is not just about destroying and defeating opponents with flashy moves, real strength is different, don't forget that' Lilith finally said as she cut their connection. This caused Natsu to finally move from his table to go to the request board with a bored look in his face.
''Well let me see...no boring, not enough money, fuck no, hmmm sounds interesting'' as he took a request with 600,000 jewels on it. Then, before he left he saw a little girl trying to reach a request with her little arms. She blue hair and hazel eyes, she wore a yellow shirt with red trimmings, brown skirt and red sandal.
''Hey, do you need help?'' he asked. The little blue haired girl stopped her action and glanced at the Fire Dragon Slayer with surprise.
''Are you talking to me?'' she said with a low voice, but thanks to his enhanced hearing, he heard what the little bluenette said.
''You're the only person next to me and it's not like I'll eat you or something...You really thought I would eat you?'' he asked confused.
''What! No! It's just that because of what you've done to Erza and Gray. Everyone thought we wouldl get the same thing if we spoke to you'' she replied.
''Well you got it wrong, shrimp. Scarlet annoys me with her own stupid rules and her bossy attitude. The stripper was in my way so I put him in the place where he belongs. If you don't annoy me or insult me and my hair, you won't be in my shit list'' he said coldly as he remarked the little girl was about to pass out.
''I'm in your shit list?''
''So far no, but you're quite interesting to me, Levy McGarden'' he said as Levy's hazel orbs widened at the mention of her name.
''Y-You know my name! How?''
''Dragon Slayers have better senses than regular mages or humans so I heard some of your conversation with Lisanna. You're very surprising, you use a form of Letter Magic at a very young age'' Natsu explained as Levy was surprised by his knowledge. Unknowing to them, Makarov was listening to the conversation as most things about Natsu were unknown.
''Do you know a lot about magic types? I think you're the fifth person who knows my magic.''
''Well, just because you're a mage, that doesn't mean you need to be limited by doing jobs to get money. Even if I use my Fire Dragon Slayer Magic it is important to know other types of magic to not get in trouble. Unlike those losers over there I train myself every week and I love to go treasure hunting'' Natsu said with a little smile knowing that Levy paid attention to what he said. Sure, he liked the Strauss siblings, but the person whom he was the most closest to was Mirajane. Elfman was too shy and Lisanna annoyed him sometimes with girly stuff and how Fairy Tail is so awesome. Speaking of Mirajane, during the last week, she changed quite a bit when he finally got her to control her new power, but he put that on his list for later.
''Really! It's nice to finally meet someone who does something with his life rather than to pass all their time here. Don't get me wrong, I love the guild, but some people here are not very interesting and rather lazy'' she said as Natsu snorted in agreement.
''Magic is a gift to be used and grow stronger and not something you use to take a shit or something. Well, looks like I've got to leave now. It was nice to talk to you, Levy McGarden, hope we can have another conversation like this'' Natsu said as he took the mission that the Levy tried to reach. When he almost reached Makarov location, Levy called his name.
''Wait! Do you mind if I tag along with you? We can go as a team to make it easier'' she said.
''A team?''
''Guild members can create teams when they do a hard job and since you're alone and I have nobody we can make one'' she asked with hope in her voice. The pink haired mage was nice with her and more interesting than some members even the older one. She preferred to make her own opinions rather than listen to what Gray and Erza said about him. Natsu stared as if he was looking into her soul or talking to someone in his head. After a couple of minutes the Fire Dragon Slayer finally replied.
''It's a good idea, but it's too soon'' he said simply as Levy and Makarov were confused by his reply.
''What! What you do mean?''
''It is a good idea, but I want to know if you're capable of doing a mission by yourself. I'm starting to like you, but I don't trust becoming friends with someone that I just met. This is nothing about you, but it's one of my principles to befriending someone. If we make a team together, I don't want to be with someone who will always complain about everything, whining, scared about everything and importantly, doesn't contribute but still takes credit just because they were on the team. But since I'm not like those morons who rejected you. I'll give you a chance'' he said as he put his hand in his pockets.
''For real?'' Levy asked smiling.
''Yeah, but you've got to be alone with no help from anybody and you have to protect my necklace during your job got it?'' Natsu asked as he took off his necklace and put it in Levy's little hand.
''Don't worry I will do my best!'' she yelled with determination as she validated her job and left the guild. Natsu simply smirked and went to Makarov to validate his job as well.
''Hey, old man, I'll take this job so I'll be coming back late'' Natsu said. As he was about to leave, the old man stopped him.
''Destroying a group of Orcs, huh? I didn't hear from them for about ten years. They usually live in Bosco. Are you sure you can do this alone, kid?'' Natsu smirked as he showed his white teeth.
''If I can take out a bunch of Wyverns by myself, Orcs will not be a problem. Furthermore, a group is easy to fight, but an Orc Stronghold is another story. Besides, I get used to fighting these kinds of things'' he said as he shrugged. During the last year of his training, he and Lilith traveled a lot around Earthland. He did have to train like crazy to control his demonic flames, he trained his flames against magical beings which were tougher and had better stamina than human mages.
''But it would be better if you're with someone, after all, everyone here in Fairy Tail is a big family and family takes care of each other' Makarov said as the last comment made Natsu growl a bit.
''Maybe in Fiore it's a cool thing, but in the real world, like the rest of Earthland, something like that can get you killed. Only dumb people trust others at the first meeting, see you later, gramps'' Said Natsu as he left the guild, ignoring the stares directed at him.
''So young and already that cynical? I already have one cynical teenager and having another one will get things messy, it would be better if the two never met'' the old man sighed as someone walked towards him.
''You're quite quiet, master. Are you alright?'' asked a young girl. She had wavy brown hair in a ponytail, brown eyes and tan skin. She wore an orange sun-dress with sandals.
''It is nothing, Cana, it's just odd to meet a young boy so cynical like that. I just wonder what happened in his life to become what he is today.'' Makarov explained.
''You're talking about Natsu Dragneel, the Dragon Slayer?'' she heard quite a lot about the pink haired mage who defeated Erza like nothing and insulted Gray's dead parents. Strangely, he's nice to the Strauss sibling, but ignored the other members.
''Yes, him. I never met a Dragon Slayer before and I suppose he won't share who taught him his magic. But he's still surprising to me, a few minutes ago Levy was talking with him about creating a team.''
''Really? That is a very bad idea!'' Cana yelled as Makarov didn't understand.
''What?''
''I heard from Lisanna that if someone tries to get him in a team. Mirajane will be pissed!'' before he could replied. The ambiance change when the named Mirajane entered in the guild with Lisanna and Elfman.
''Someone dared to talk about me?'' she said menacingly as everyone in the guild tried not to look at her. Everyone in the guild and even her siblings and Natsu were not prepared for the new she-Devil. When she mastered her magic, she changed her outfits to wear a dark, skimpy sleeveless shirt adorned with some light curved motifs on the chest, a pair of leather shorts held up by a studded belt with a demonic-looking buckle and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels, each bearing a skull adorned by a flower on their upper front parts. She also sported a bracelet shaped like a demonic arm around her right wrist, a ring on the same hand's middle finger, and dark nail polish. She had most of her hair tied in a high, larger ponytail on the back of her head by a massive dark ribbon, with a strand falling freely over her forehead.
''H-Hey you're finally here, Mirajane. How was training?'' Cana asked as she saw Elfman and Lisanna tired and covered in bruises.
''Pretty good, but Elfman can't fully transform. By the way have you seen Natsu? I want to do a job with him'' the older Strauss said as she looked around the guild.
''He's not here'' Cana replied.
''What!'' Before the brown haired young girl replied. Gray who was at another table and listened the conversation as he stripped his pants barged in the conversation.
''Flame-Brain went on a request. Levy even asked if they could create a team, Flame-Brain said no, but said something about testing something or whatever, he gave his weird necklace to her to see if Levy can succeed on her own'' he said with disinterest. He didn't understand why Levy wanted to make a team with the Fire Dragon Slayer. Thinking about Natsu made the raven haired boy angry. To him, Natsu was just an arrogant prick who got lucky and had a stupid hair color but he was the most pissed that his rival didn't recognize his presence. Then, when he was talking negatively about the Fire Dragon Slayer, he ignored that Mirajane was covered in an aura of a dark purple color.
''OH NO! SHE'S PISSED!'' yelled a random member.
'Why does Levy want to create a team with Natsu and why did he give his necklace with Lilith in it? He didn't ask me to make a team, I'm his first friend, damn it!' Then, she hit Gray who crashed against a table.
''Why did you do that, you psycho?!'' Gray annoyed but he quickly regretted his words. Furious, she launched a table at him, which he barely dodged as Mirajane continued her rampage.
''What did you say, you pervert! Tell me and I will keep you alive...for now.''
'You better, don't add Scarlet Natsu!' she thought as she threw another table.
''Is it me or is someone talking about me?'' Natsu said as he felt a shiver go up his back. He quickly forgot about it and put his attention towards a camp filled with Orcs. All the Orcs had green or gray skin with the same leather armor, large teeth that were visible with weapons made of bone. Eating a carcass that looked like a Vulcan's. Natsu was hiding behind a tree far away from the camp.
'Alright, I see ten young male and female Orcs and none of them can use magic so I don't have to use my Fire Devil Mode to take all of them. Besides, they're quite far from their Stronghold so their treasure will be mine' Natsu thought happily. Lilith taught him that Orcs always has a special trove of treasure with them and the only way to get their trove is to break into their Stronghold which was a difficult task for mages below high S Class and SS Class. Deciding to get it over with, Natsu ignited his feet and propelled himself in the air before crashing into the camp, causing a huge shock-wave of flame that sent the Orcs flying away.
''What the hell is that?'' said a male Orc who was shocked at what happened. He found the answer as he saw Natsu covered in flames with a smirk on his face.
''Shit, a human mage! Those damn villagers sent a mage after us even when we let everyone out alive'' said another Orc.
''Hump! He's just little boy with a strange hair color and he's alone so we can kill him easily'' added another Orc as he received a hard punch to his face, which sent him flying before he crashed into a tree.
''You shouldn't underestimate me, I'm not a regular human mage that you can kill easily. Besides, it's been a while since I got to have fun'' Natsu said, still smirking.
''So what? Are you here for the stuff that we stole from those villagers?'' asked a female Orc.
''From those idiots, hell no! I'm here to take the treasure for myself!''
''You're a pretty arrogant brat, you think that you can take us by yourself?''
''Hey, don't call me a brat! All you of look barely older than me. Today is your lucky day, you'll see a Dragon Slayer before I turn everyone here into an Orc Barbecue!'' Natsu said as he pointed to the one who looked to be the leader of the group. The male Orc had black hair with an eye-patch on his left eye.
''A Dragon Slayer? Don't bullshit me, human shit!'' before the leader could reply again, Natsu quickly covered his arms with large flames swung them, sending the Orcs flying with two large wings of fire.
''Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!'' Then, he gathered magic and air in his mouth as he puffed his cheeks and released a large destructive beam of intense orange flame that burned and consumed three Orcs at the same time. ''Fire Dragon's Roar!'' The leader was shocked by what he saw. Three of his companions and childhood friends were dead in a single move. Then, he watched one of his friends rush at the Flame Devil Slayer with a large battle Axe in his hands and tried to hit Natsu. Natsu dodged the slash easily and sent a hard fist on the Orc's green face, which made him drop the Axe. Natsu then took and smashed the Axe into the Orc's head which caused dark red blood to splatter upon the pink haired Dragon Slayer's face. After that, two other Orcs charged at him again and Natsu created a large fire-ball in his right palm before launching the fire-ball.
''Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!'' the fireball expanded and completely consumed the Orcs. Natsu turned his head and saw the last living Orcs in front of him. The two males and two females were shocked by what they saw and were scared, he wiped the blood from his face away and prepared to finish them until one of them talked.
''Wait! Don't kill us, we can make a deal'' the Orc with the eye patch said. Natsu stopped what he was trying to do and decided to listen.
''Talk or I finish what I started...''
''We give half of the thing we stole and you let us live.''
''And I should believe you because?''
''We may be young, but we can show respect when we see it fit and you, young Dragon Slayer, can show you're not like the other human mages. Naturally, we don't mind to die in battle, but our Stronghold was recently built so we need the funds'' Orc explained.
''...Fine I accept your deal and the next thing you attack better be bandits. Nobody cares about them, but can I ask you a question? Are you all related?'' Natsu asked to prove a point. The four Orcs looked at each other as if they didn't understand the Dragon Slayer's question.
''Our father is the Stronghold's leader.''
'So it's pretty much true huh... Lilith will do her stupid happy dance' he thought.
''Alright, put all the treasure in a bag and you're free to go'' Natsu said as they nodded their heads and put a large pile of gold in a sack. Then, Natsu saw a strange silver diadem with sapphires and odd marks, but the interesting part was the strange feeling the radiated from it.
''Hey, where did you find that?'' he asked as he pointed at the diadem. One of the Orc replied at his question. She had gray skin with long black locks and green eyes.
''We found it at the village, but we think it was created by the Elves. This diadem is made of Elf silver and we possess another copy.'' she explained.
''But this one emits a strange feeling and it's very cold'' Natsu examined the diadem as he picked up another which was almost the same. Suddenly, coming from nowhere something tried to put the diadem on his head, he quickly shook his head as he put the two diadems in a bag filled with gold.
''It was a pleasure to make a deal with you and I'm sorry about your friends'' he said as he looked at the dead corpses around the fire-camp. He didn't feel sorry to kill the Orcs as he felt excited from the fight, but he showed his respect to the young Orc survivors.
''We're warriors, dying in battle is an honor for us. Our leader will understand. It seems odd, but can you not reveal our location'' the eye-patch Orc asked. If the villagers knew about their location that would be trouble for them.
''Yeah whatever, I don't care about those villagers so your secret is safe with me'' Natsu shrugged. Not caring that he would lie to the villagers and affect Fairy Tail's name he got what he wanted.
''We appreciate your words, human. I'm Kragus and this is Glazut, Orgna and Laris. Can we know your name Dragon Killer?''
''My name is Natsu Dragneel'' he replied as well.
''Well, Natsu Dragneel, let's hope that we will meet again, but in different circumstances'' Kragus said as Laris interrupt him. She was the small of the group, big blue eyes with dark red hair and her teeth are very small, she was cute, in Natsu's opinion.
''Please take this Axe in sign for a future alliance'' she said as she gave a large heavy-looking Axe to Natsu. Natsu took the weapon and was surprised by the weight and the strength of the red haired Orc.
'What the hell am I thinking...sure she's green, but she has cute teeth, pretty blue eyes and strong as hell. Why do I care how she looks, Lilith did something to me' the Flame Devil Slayer thought unknowing that he started puberty.
''Thanks for taking care of those beasts, youngster'' said a fat man who looked to be the village's leader. Natsu explain that he found the Orcs location, defeated them, but was not fast enough to take back their stuff. Fortunately, the village ruler believed his lie since before going to the village, Natsu hid the bag of treasure far away.
''This is a shame, we lost most of our valuable objects, but at least we don't have to worry about those Orcs, here, this is your pay'' the man said as he gave 600,000 jewels to Natsu who had a fake smile on his face.
''Thanks, old man!'' 'I can't believe that fat-ass accepted that lie. Humans are very stupid these days when getting someone to do their dirty work' he could easily burn the old town by himself and kill everyone, but since he joined a guild of goody-two shoes, this option was not available. Natsu said goodbye to the older man and walked in the direction of his bag.
''What a great day. I've got a bag full of gold, cool and old weapons, and an odd object that will make me rich'' Natsu said to himself thinking about money. Normally, Lilith would reply, but since she was not here, he felt a little alone. He was about to check the silver diadem once more until he heard a high-pitched scream in the forest. Then, he used his nose to find the source of the scream in the air as his eyes widened at what he found.
''That scent...a Dragon Slayer that young? She is at the camp where I was minutes ago...with five strange scents, it can't be the Orc since they have nothing do with that camp'' Natsu said as he gathered magic in his feet and propelled himself into the air towards the camp's location.
A very little girl was surrounded by a group of five men with lustful expressions on their faces. The little girl was scared, she had short blue hair with big brown eyes and pale skin. She wore a white shirt with a baby-blue skirt and black shoes. She was terrified as the five men licked their lips with anticipation, the five men had the appearance of regular punks with a strange mark on their shirts.
''Leave me alone!'' the young girl tried to be brave.
''Oh? What's the matter, why so hostile? We just want to ask some questions about your friend and maybe play with you'' one of the men said grinning madly.
''My friend? What do you want from Jellal and I don't want to play with any of you!'' the blue haired girl replied.
''Sorry this is top secret, but if you asked gently, we would answer your questions'' said a tall man with flames on his jacket
''Why is this taking so long, it's been a while since our last victim and I have urges right now'' said a very fat man.
''Don't worry guys, we're alone so we can make all the noise we want. Also, our boss said he wants his companion alive so two times the fun for us!'' the tall one said as the others laughed loudly. The bluenette had no idea what those evil men were talking about, but she knew in her mind of a six year old girl, that they wanted to hurt her and her friend, but she couldn't even defend herself. She tried to move her legs, but they didn't respond and as they walked toward her, she closed her eyes and murmured.
''Please Jellal, anybody, save me!'' she said. At the moment the five men was in front of her the heat in the forest rose drastically. They saw a large fire ball coming at them and crashing into the ground, creating a large cloud of dust. When the dust lay back down, they all saw a young boy between twelve and thirteen, with spiky pink haired hair, a large Axe behind his back, carrying a large bag while having an emotionless expression on his face.
''Look at what we have...a little girl with five pieces of shit with no sense of fashion in a forest at an abandoned camp-fire. A dream come true for any pedophile'' he said as the five men glared at him because of the last word.
''What did you call us, brat?''
''We're not pedophiles!''
''So, there's five of you and one scared little girl, you said out loud that you wanted to play with her yet you claim that you're not pedophiles?'' he said sarcastically as he raised an eyebrow. Inside of him, he was shocked to see a Dragon Slayer that defenseless. Dragon Slayers were supposed to be fearless warriors with the power to kill Dragons...not be bullied by trash like this.
''Screw you, you bastard! We're murderers and we respect women too much to rape them. Even though we're Dark Mages, we have standards and our guild master will kill us if we do that.'' said another man.
''I don't see any difference, but I need to release some steam. Get out of here or you will feel the power of my flames'' he said. The five didn't believe him as they laugh at him.
''Are you serious, kid? We're the Elemental Five, A Class Dark Mages in Fiore, everybody know us!''
''Never heard of you.''
''What!'' They exclaimed shocked. This boy with a strange hair color didn't know about the awesome Elemental Five members of the Dark Guild Aqua Zero, one of the most notorious dark guilds in Fiore and Iceberg, they were mostly known for their collaboration moves, robbery, public insults and crimes and rarely murder. They followed a mysterious leader whom the Magic Council seemed to ignore. Natsu had a better look at the five men. The one who seem be the leader was a short-haired blond tall man with purple eyes. He wore a black jacket with an open collar and gold trimmings. There was a yellow lightning bolt on the sleeve and a strange guild mark on the back, he was shirtless and had a gold ring on his finger. He also wore black pants with two lightning bolt on each sides and brown boots. The four other men possessed the same outfit with different motifs. Natsu saw a very tall man with shaggy red hair and brown eyes, tan kin and fire motifs on his outfit. A spiky blue haired man with green eyes and who seemed to be the tallest, he had pale skin and wings motifs on his clothes. A very long black haired man with blue eyes, he was of average height and had wave motifs on his outfit. The last one was very short. Natsu was taller than him. He had very short green hair with brown eyes, he was also very fat and seemed to have dust on him yet he didn't have any motif on his outfit.
''Hey, where did you get your outfits, they look very cool!'' Natsu couldn't help himself, but to think to himself that they all had very good outfits. The five men and the little girl were shocked by his reply.
''Really? I told you guys that someone will finally like our very awesome clothes. We found a shop in Crocus which uses a special material that permit our clothes to never be damaged by our own magic'' the red hair man said happily as the blue haired one slapped him on his head.
''Why did you tell him that?! He is our enemy and we if we don't finish our job, Boss will be pissed'' he said with a hysterical tone.
''He's right! Boys, time to show the powers of the Elemental Five...position start!'' the blond said as they all nodded their heads while the two Dragon Slayers stared at them with confusion. They took a lot of distance from each other and the leader of the group take out a mini radio from his pocket and a background music began to play as the red shaggy hair start to move.
''Pyro!'' the now named Pyro raised his arms in the air and covered himself in flames.
''Tempest!'' the blue haired man threw air-blast in the air as he spun himself around.
''Hydro!'' the black haired one created a multitude of balls made of water above him.
''Dust!'' the short man created two large pillars from the ground.
''Bolt'' the blond leader creaked as he covered his body in yellow electricity as he launch two lightning bolts from his hands.
''Together We Are The...Elemental Five!'' they all take a strange pose. Natsu and the little girl sweat-dropped from what they were seeing as their eyes almost popped from their sockets, especially Natsu who had to watch the most ridiculous thing in his entire life...so far at least.
'I can't believe it, this will scar me forever! If Lilith were here she would mock me for eternity. No holding back for those five idiots, they may have a good looking outfit, but their stupid choreography needs to be burned from my mind. But the Dragon Slayer needs to stay out of my way' Natsu thought to himself as he would finally use his Flame Devil Mode against humans. He did not have any particular reason to save the young Dragon Slayer, but since this is the first one he had encountered since Dyrus, so it would be nice to speak to another one.
''Whoa that is the most ridiculous thing that I've ever seen in my entire life...yet'' Natsu said with mocking tone, disappearing in a tornado of flames and reappearing behind them with the young Dragon Slayer.
''You...Don't move and don't get in my may, things here will get messy'' he said and before she could reply, he ignited his arm with a large flame and charged at them.
''Your dance sucks!''
''What! How dare you!''
Meanwhile, Fairy Tail Guild
''Damn it! He was supposed to be back by now.'' Mirajane said as she waited patiently for the pink haired Flame Devil Dragon Slayer. It had been hours since Natsu left and she had broken the remaining tables. She sighed as she looked at the other guild members having fun. Unlike her siblings who loved to pass the time with their guild-mates, she just stared at them with disdain, they just used their time to slack off and had useless fights that don't make sense. When she asked the guild master why they always fight, the old man replied by saying'' That's how Fairy Tail is'' she simply snorted at his remark, but she respected the elder man even if he didn't share her point of view. She didn't want a bunch of losers and nobodies to be considered family, all she needed was her siblings and Natsu.
''Don't worry, Mirajane, I'm sure he has a good reason to be late'' Elfman tried to calm down his elder sister.
''But it's just a bunch of Orcs, he can easily take them out like nothing and we're supposed to train together.'' she was about to learn to control her demonic powers. She was also training with Lilith, but the Demon Lord passed her time drinking, sleeping and giving sexual comments.
''Orcs? I thought they didn't exist'' Lisanna said innocently.
''Just because you've never seen something or someone doesn't mean they don't exist, like Demons. Natsu told me that magical creatures don't just live in Fiore, they live all over the world and I think Orcs make more sense rather than a Vulcan, if you know what I mean'' Mirajane explained to her little sister. Before Lisanna could reply, the guild doors opened and they all saw Erza enter with scorn written all over her cute face when she saw the broken tables.
''Who did this?!'' she asked with a bossy tone. Everyone in the guild pointed to Mirajane who seemed to not give a shit about it. She wasn't surprised that they preferred to blame someone rather than to feel the wrath of a thirteen years old girl...Truly pathetic. Erza walked toward her with a stern and serious face as she put her hands on her hips.
''I suppose that you have an explanation for your actions...care to explain?''
''Yeah, I just threw a few tables because nobody here is interesting and Natsu is not here'' she shrugged. Erza's brown eyes narrowed as she couldn't stand the name of the Dragon Slayer.
''You could seriously hurt your comrades and why would you hang out with him? He's nothing, but a trouble-maker who thinks that he's invincible and can do whatever he wants'' she said.
''I don't consider a bunch of losers my comrades, I don't even know them. Just because he beat you in three seconds doesn't mean you can talk about him behind his back when he's not here, Red'' the white haired girl glared at the scarlet haired girl.
''Hump, you follow him like a puppy, not surprising'' she said with venom.
''Following is not my style. It's more about hanging out with a friend who knows how to have fun and beats the shit out of a carrot-head who thinks she's the law'' Mirajane replied with the same tone. Elfman and Lisanna could feel the tension rising up.
''Always with style, huh?''
''In the hall, who is the one who had a cheap sword and hair the color of my period blood?'' Mirajane asked as she rubbed her chin with a thinking face. Before Erza could reply, the temperature of the guild dropped a lot. The liquids were completely frozen as some members complained that they couldn't drink anymore.
''What the hell?''
''Who did this? Gray is that you?''
''Are you stupid? Gray is not that good to completely freeze everything and change the temperature.''
''What's that supposed to mean, you asshole?!'' the raven haired boy said as he felt offended by the last remark. As a random member was about to reply, his attention was attracted by the young woman in front of them. They saw a young silver haired beautiful woman in a maid outfit with luggage in her hands. She had a calculative look on her pale face as she glanced around the guild hall. Makarov walked in her direction with a smile on his face, showing that he was attracted by the woman's beauty.
''What I can do for you, young lady?'' he said politely as he couldn't help but stare at the hourglass figure of the woman. Grayfia averted her eyes to the short man and said with the same calculating expression.
''Good morning, sir, I'm here to find a young man named Natsu Dragneel'' she said as she showed him a picture of Natsu.
''Sorry to disappoint you, ma'am, but he's on a job right now, but you can stay here to wait for him'' Makarov said as he was hoping that she would stay, like many other men in the guild. Grayfia's expression didn't change as she bowed respectfully.
''Sorry, but no thank you, I'll stay in a hotel, if you don't mind. But can I have someone to guide me?'' she asked. Before the men could propose themselves, Mirajane beat them as she stared at the silver haired woman with a calculate glance.
''I'll do it. I can even show you Natsu's house since we are neighbors and I'll be better than those perverts who've never have seen a woman in their entire life.'' she glared at the guild members who were embarrassed by her proclamation. Grayfia had a little smile on her red lips until her expression changed, quickly returned to a stoic one.
''It will be lovely, young miss'' she bowed as she picked up her luggage. Mirajane stared at Erza one last time with smug smirk and put her glance toward Elfman and Lisanna.
''Don't leave to late and don't wait for me'' she exclaimed as they nodded their head. Erza watched her rival leave with the maid as she closed her hands and tightened them. The older Strauss had successfully got under her skin without using violence or magic and she couldn't forget her defeat.
'I will beat you, Strauss, and especially you, Dragneel. You're my top priority...' she thought, clenching her fists as she left the guild as well to train.
''Thank you for helping me Mirajane-san, I was having a hard time dealing with your male guild-mates'' Grayfia said, respectfully. Mirajane didn't reply as she continued to stare at the silver haired woman.
''Stop the bullshit. I saw your demonic aura the moment you entered. What are you, a Demon or something?'' the white haired mage said seriously. Grayfia stopped in her tracks as she stared at the young girl with a cold glance.
''So you can see and feel my demonic aura, Mirajane Strauss. Not bad for a little girl'' she said with no emotion in her voice. Mirajane felt intimated by the older woman as the temperature was very cold, but she didn't show it.
''What do you want with Natsu? Are you an Etherious or something?'' she asked.
''I'm not an Etherious and I've no bad intentions towards Natsu-san. But since he's probably told you about my kind, I must give my full name. My name is Grayfia Lucifuge, a Demon Hybrid and the Ice Devil Slayer of the Demon Lord Fenris'' she explained as her eyes turned golden yellow as the iris slit.
''An Ice Devil Slayer?'' Mirajane said as she rubbed her body from the cold.
''You and me need to talk'' Grayfia said as she grabbed Mirajane's shoulder and the two disappeared in a tornado of snow.
''Your dance sucks!''
''How dare you!''
''Our choreography is awesome and stylish! It represents the power of the Element-'' Dust said before he was interrupted by the blow of the pink haired Dragon Slayer. The short green haired spit saliva as he was sending flying across the forest, this action shocked the Elemental Five.
''He's so fast!''
''Watch out boys! This little guy is not a nobody'' Bolt yelled as he saw a strange tattoo on Natsu's right shoulder. Then Tempest came behind Natsu with his arm covered with a large tornado of wind, ready to strike him.
''Ha! You're fast, but nobody can dodge my Wind Palm with no damage!'' When the blue haired man was about to strike his victim. Natsu gathered magic on his right eyebrow as he hit Tempest's guts and released a large stream of orange flame.
''Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow!'' the large stream of fire completely engulfed the blue haired man as he let out a cry of pain. As he continued to be burned, Pyro and Hydro took the opportunity to strike back. Pyro attempted to punch Natsu who dodged with no effort before Hydro tried to strike him with a giant arm made of water. When it almost reached Natsu's face, the fist evaporated in the blink of an eye, much to Hydro's surprise.
''What! My attack is gone?'' He yelled.
''Dude, your water is weak!'' Pyro taunted. As Hydro was about to replied, he was sent flying by receiving a hard blow to his jaw which made him bite his tongue. ''Arrgh my tongue!'' Natsu put his hand on his stomach and launch a large fire-ball that sent him across the forest until the fire-ball exploded. Then, he turned around as he receive a fist covered with fire to his face. ''Ah! Taste my special Pyro Punch!'' the red haired man said grinning that his attack hit, but to his disappointment and surprise, the pink haired mage didn't move a bit and didn't flinch at the fist, hell he didn't even get a burn mark on his cheek.
''What the hell? Nobody received my special Pyro Punch without at least a bruise!''
''Your flames really suck! Seriously, I expected more from a Dark mage. I have a guy in my guild whu uses stronger flames than you.'' Natsu sneered as he knew that his words affected the shaggy red haired man.
''I'll show you who the pathetic excuse of a Fire Mage is. Hey, can I give him a lesson that he will never forget?'' Pyro asked. The blond leader crossed his arm and nodded his head as the three other members showed their faces. Tempest's clothes were completely burnt as his skin was covered in second degree but he still standing. Hydro was in the same position except that his skin was completely healed thanks of his Water Magic. Dust had some minor injuries, but had a big black spot on his stomach and seemed to be pissed.
''Yeah Pyro, give him the same treatment'' Tempest panted.
''That little shit-head, he got me good'' Dust added.
''We don't need to worry. Pyro is the second best in the team and his fire spells are very hot'' Hydro said as he clenched his fists, water was supposed to beat fire.
''Be ready, brat! You will feel the power of Pyro!'' the red haired man released a stream of fire from his mouth. Natsu look unimpressed as he even signs of boredom. Pyro's eyes narrowed as he saw the action of the pink haired mage.
''Ah yeah? Time to show the power of Pyro! Pyro Kick!'' the shagged haired man charges his body forward with his leg arched up, raising his knee covered in flames. Natsu quickly countered by lighting his entire body ablaze and charged himself at Pyro. When the two fire mages were only centimeters away, thanks to his height Natsu gave a roundhouse kick to Pyro's ribs, but to the surprise of the older man, the kick was surprisingly powerful and strong. Natsu sent two punches at the red haired man and turned himself, sending another roundhouse kick with his other foot. Furious, Pyro quickly got back on his feet and threw a barrage of large fireballs with his hand. Natsu simply raised his hand and threw the fireballs back to Pyro's surprise.
''You can control my flames? Nobody can control my flames!'' Pyro yelled as he dashed towards his opponent surrounded in orange flames and raised his left fist putting a lot of magic power into it.
''Time to taste my Pyro Mega Punch!'' Natsu counterattacked by lighting his right fist with flames, but this time larger and darker. ''Flame Devil Dragon's Hell Hammer!'' the two fists of flame created a huge impact of magic that sent them all flying away. Pyro got back to his feet as he saw his skin completely burned.
''What the hell? I have never gotten burned by fire in my entire life! I'm Pyro, the best Fire Mage in Fiore and Iceberg!'' the shagged red haired man yelled as his teammates nodded their heads in agreement. The blue haired girl still watched the fight between the Fire Mages, far away enough to not be hurt. She stared at the pink haired Slayer with fascination and awe.
''I didn't even get started yet and what I see you're quite pathetic. Don't tell me that this is the power of the great Pyro?'' Natsu asked with a mocking tone. Pyro couldn't control himself with a loud cry, he expel fire from his body like a firestorm.
''You want to see the full power of Pyro? This is what you will get! Prepare to meet the wrath of my special Pyro Eraser Cannon!'' the firestorm of fire disappeared around Pyro as he puffed his cheeks with fire and magic in it. Then he launched a large orange beam of flames and magic toward Natsu. ''Pyro Eraser Cannon!'' Natsu didn't move as he was simply smirked at the large beam.
''Your spell is cool, but you fought the worst opponent that you will never be able to beat'' Natsu said as he completely consumed the breath spell with his mouth. The other Elemental Five's jaw hit the ground as Pyro was shocked as well. 'That little punk ate my attack. How is that possible?' he thought as Dust came at him and tried to take his arm.
''Forget about it Pyro, you can't win against him. This is a Slayer Mage just like Mistress'' he tried to convince his teammates who didn't move and still stared at the pink haired young boy eating his spell.
''No way! I won't let a fucking brat with stupid hair kick my ass and be a better Fire Mage, Slayer or not!'' Before the plumb man could answered back, Natsu took advantage of the moment by puffing his cheek and gathered magic, the flames of a Dragon and Demon and sucked in air, his tattoo on his right wrist seemed to slightly glow with a dark red light.
''Flame Devil Dragon's Roar!'' Natsu unleashed a large destructive blast of orange flames and heat from his mouth and the attack enveloped the Dark Mage as the attack moved across the forest and caused destruction. When the attack died out and the smoke disappeared, Pyro and Dust were laying on the ground completely burned as their clothes were gone and they smelled of a mixture of charcoal and sulfur, their skin burned and browned, but still alive. The other three who were still active of the Elemental Five dashed at their companions' and checked for signs that they were still living.
''Hydro, heal them, quickly!''
''I can't Chief, those burns are stronger than I thought and when I tried to heal them, the magic seems to burn away the effect'' Hydro explained as he tried to save the life of his two companions.
''You can't help your friends with your magic. My Dragon flames are far superior and stronger than any flames you've ever seen. You should quickly see a doctor or your teammates will be turned to ashes in one hour, my flames will continue to burn the victim if not treated. Big decision, right, Bolt? The mission or your comrades'' Natsu said with a dark grin on his face, knowing that the blond man needed to make a choice.
''What we do Boss?''
''...''
''We're going home. The lives of Pyro and Dust are more important than finding that brat. Mark my words, Dragon Slayer, we will have our revenge and you will face the cold fury of our Mistress and us!'' he said with determination in his voice.
''I don't care, as long as she has a nice pair of boobs or ass'' he shrugged as the three men were about to explode.
''You little Bastard!'' Hydro yelled as he was about to attack, Tempest stopped him.
''That's what he wants us to do, don't go into his trap.''
''We don't have the time to messing around. Time to use Unison Raid: Teleportation!''
''Hai!'' Tempest and Hydro said as they all vanished in tornado of water, wind and lightning leaving Natsu with the blue haired little girl.
''Well, I won't miss those weirdos, but too bad I didn't finish my fight'' 'Damn it, I would have had a problem if I didn't have my Fire Devil Slayer Magic with me, my Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is weak for some reason' he thought. During his training with Lilith in Earthland, he also trained his main magic but for some reason his Dragon Slayer Magic is not on the same level as his demonic one. He put the same amount of time into each magic, even Lilith had her own theory, but nothing that actually helped him. Then he walked to the blue haired girl who was staring at him with fascination and awe.
''So who are you? I should thank you for not leaving with bag and Axe but as a Dragon Slayer yourself, you can at least defend yourself right?'' Natsu asked.
''M-my mommy, Grandeeney, only taught me Healing Spells and the Dragon Roar'' she said scared, fearing what the older Dragon Slayer would do.
''Grandeeney? You mean as the Sky Dragon Queen?'' Natsu said as the blue haired girl's brown orbs widened at the mention of her mother.
''You know Grandeeney? Did you see her?'' she said with excitement but the glare of Natsu stopped her.
''No, I didn't see your mum and I only know her title. Besides, why are you here alone...in a forest?'' he asked.
''I was with my friend, but I could smell your scent so I thought maybe you would know where Grandeeney is?'' she asked as she was still scared, but happy that the Fire Dragon Slayer didn't do anything… yet. When Natsu was about to speak, a voice interrupted him.
''Wendy! Are you there?'' Natsu turned his head as he saw a young blue haired boy of his age with a tattoo on the right side of his face, a bag and a long old staff on his back.
''Jellal!'' the young girl named Wendy got up and rushed to the young boy to hug him.
''I'm so sorry, Jellal! I should never have left your side!'' Wendy cried as tears fell from her eyes. The boy named Jellal only smiled and patted her back.
''Don't worry, Wendy, at least you're safe now'' Natsu simply stared at the two bluenettes in confusion and disgust.
'Why is she crying? Did Grandeeney raise a cry-baby? Dragon Slayers never cry, Dyrus said the same thing' he thought. Suddenly, he remembered what the Elemental Five said.
''Wait! You're the one who they were looking for?'' Natsu asked and raised an eyebrow. Jellal stopped his hug with Wendy and put his attention on Natsu as he sighed.
''Yes, I'm the one who they're looking for, but I'm not an enemy'' the blue haired boy tried to convince Natsu who simply stared with a curious look.
''I don't care what you did to them, but you piked my curiosity, so tell me who are you?'' he asked as Jellal nodded and walked toward with Wendy at his side. But the young Dragon Slayer didn't understand what was happening.
''Jellal-san, why are they coming after you?''
''Don't worry, Wendy, I will explain it to this guy'' he said with a reassuring smile on his face and returned his attention to Natsu.
''My name is Jellal and I came from another dimension'' he said seriously as Wendy was shocked and surprised. But Natsu didn't change his expression.
''...''
''...''
''Okay...''
Meanwhile, Natsu's house
In a tornado of ice and snow, Grayfia and Mirajane entered into the Fire Dragon Slayer's home. Natsu's house is a two-story house with a spacious living room connected to a walk-in kitchen, a guest room connected to the living room, stairs leading up to the second floor, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a basement. This house is also near to the Strauss' house.
''How do you know where he lives?'' Mirajane asked as she was still in shock.
''My sense of smell is pretty high compared to a Dragon Slayers', and this house smells like Natsu-san and Lilith-sama's demonic aura'' the silver haired Demon hybrid explained as she sat in a chair and Mirajane mimicked her action. When the white haired girl sat up, she glanced at Grayfia nervously.
''So... will you tell me what you are or are we going to wait for Natsu?''
''I don't like to repeat myself so we'll have to wait for Natsu-san, but I may answer some of your questions if you have any. If not, I will make us some tea'' she replied with a stoic face.
''Yes, I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind'' Grayfia nodded her head and Mirajane sighed in relief.
''So, you're a Demon hybrid like Natsu and you use Devil Slayer Magic, right?''
''Exactly, I'm exactly like Natsu-san and I learned Ice Devil Slayer Magic from my teacher and mentor Fenris, he taught me everything that I know'' she replied.
''But you didn't seal your master like the last Devil Slayer of Lilith.'' Mirajane implied as she remembered the talk with the Demon Lord of Fire.
''Unlike those human fools, I have no reason to seal my master. You should know that Devil Slayers who learn their magic too fast will have their mind corrupted, although some mage came to visit my teacher two years ago to learn his magic. If I didn't visit Fenris-sensei at that time, he would probably have been sealed away or something...that's proof that you can't trust humans.''
''Do you know the name of this Slayer?''
''His name was Silver Fullbuster'' Grayfia said the name with disgust in her voice as she saw the shocked face of the white haired girl.
''Silver Fullbuster? That's the same last name as Gray! A member of this guild.''
''..Interesting, a relative of that bastard. Shame that Fenris-sensei is not in Ishgar, he would have enjoyed to know that the bastard had a relative'' she said with a small smile.
''What do you mean not in Ishgar? What is Ishgar?'' she asked, confused and didn't think about the fact that Gray may have a living relative. In her opinion, the raven haired boy was annoying and called her a weirdo so she didn't give a damn about him.
''Humans had forgotten the name of this continent. How surprising'' she said with a sarcastic tone. ''Ishgar is the name of this continent, one of the five continents of Earthland. Ishgar was the land of the Dragons before they made the mistake of trusting humans too much'' said explained as the older Strauss listened eagerly.
''Five continents?'' the silver haired Devil Slayer nodded her head.
''Where I came from is Goatia, the land of the Demons like Fenris-sensei and Lilith-sama. Humans do live there, but they don't control anything since the continent is ruled by the Demon King Baal.''
''The Demon King? Demons have a king!'' she asked, shocked by the revelation. Natsu told her that the Dragons had a King who was named Acnologia and was the current one since he killed the last one.
''Of course, the human civilization and the new Demons did forget about him, but never the older Demons and magical creatures. King Baal is the most ruthless and powerful King that ever lived, with his legions, his four gates of the Apocalypse. He's the man that the Demon Lords fear like the Dragons fear Acnologia. It is even said that his strength didn't find a match'' she said with a bit of fear in her silver orbs.
''He's really that strong?''
''Igneel, Natsu's father had fought King Baal several times, but he was not capable to defeat him with his full strength. Some say that his strength is comparable with Acnologia'' Mirajane was about to speak when someone knocked on the door. The eldest Strauss sibling got up from the chair and went to the door, she opened it to see Levy standing there with a couple of bruise and out of breath.
''H-hi Miraja-ne, is Natsu h-here?'' the little bluenette began to stutter at the view of Mirajane.
''Hey shrimp...wait how did you find Natsu's house?''
''Lis-anna told me, I came here to return his necklace, but since you're here, I can give it to you'' Levy said as she tried to look in Mirajane's eyes and put the black necklace in her hands.
''Whoa, you didn't break the necklace so that means you're stronger and more useful than I thought. Well see you later, partner!'' Mirajane said with dark grin.
''What do you mean, 'partner'?'' Levy's face turned white at the mention of partner.
''Since you passed Natsu's test that means you, me and Natsu will make one hell of a team'' Levy didn't say anything about that as she said a brief goodbye and ran away. Mirajane simply chuckled as she returned to the living room, then Lilith appeared with a bottle of sake in her hand and wearing a kimono.
''Finally home! I finished my last bottle of wine...Grayfia-chan is that you?'' the orange haired Demon said as she saw the Ice Demon hybrid and in a blur of orange, she hugged the poor confused silver haired maid.
''I'm here too, master!'' Mirajane pouted cutely that her second teacher didn't acknowledge her presence.
''Don't be so jealous, my first female apprentice! It's been four centuries since I've seen the Devil Slayer of that old wolf. By the way, how is Fenris?'' she asked as she threw the empty bottle in the garbage.
''Good actually, except for the fact that he made the mistake to take a human disciple on only for the same disciple to try and kill him'' Gray explained with a frown on her pale face.
''What? That ice cube of brain-cells made the same mistake that I did! His new Slayer was strong enough to kill him?'' she said with surprising seriousness.
''Not even close. He tried to kill him or seal him after learning the basics'' she answered.
''Also, that guy had the same family name as Gray!'' the white haired girl added.
''...This is very bad, this is fucking bad! If the Demon King knows about an unregistered Devil Slayer walking free in another continent, that stupid mutt can get big consequences'' she said with a panicked look.
''I'm sorry but why is this so bad?'' Mirajane asked. These Demon things were quite new to her so she tried to understand them more so she could become stronger to protect her siblings and Natsu, hell, how could Natsu deal with Dragon and Demon business anyway? The two Demons put their attention to her as she felt uncomfortable.
''I forgot about her too...You know what, go to your house and I'll explain everything to you and Natsu. Also, tomorrow is physical training, so don't be late and bring those things that you can put hot sauce on, what are they called again?'' she asked as she forgot the name.
''You mean a burrito?'' Mirajane sweat-dropped.
''Yes, that shit!'' Mirajane sighed as she nodded her head and left the house, leaving the two woman alone.
''Did you tell her of the condition of King Baal?''
''No, I prefer to wait since it also concerns Natsu-san'' Grayfia replied.
''Not a bad idea. How to explain that the current Demon King is a Demon Hybrid as well...''
Midnight, with Natsu, Jellal and Wendy
''So basically you came from a parallel universe where people don't have magical powers and use tools with magic, but those are extremely rare. Your sperm donor is the King who went mad because he takes magic from Earthland by using Anima and he disinherited you because you don't agree with his view, you banished yourself to control Anima so, like, that you keep the portal shut and he will be super pissed?'' Natsu said as Jellal nodded his head in agreement. The three young kids made a campfire far away from their last location.
''Whoa, your dad is really a greedy asshole. You watched that portal for a year?''
''Exactly, my father was always a power-hungry person, but that became worse with age. Someday, I was hurt and he didn't care about it'' Jellal frowned as he remembered the memory.
''Welcome to the club of shitty dads.''
''But he's still your dad, right? Every parents should care about their kids'' Wendy said as Natsu snorted.
''Please, it that was true, Igneel would have not left me alone without a note or something. Not every parent wants to have children. Sometimes, they prefer to sell them for money'' Natsu said darkly as Wendy was shocked.
''That not true! Right, Jellal-san?''
''...Sorry, but he's right, Wendy. Not every parent is nice to or deserves a child. My father did teach that with his actions, I know that you miss your mum, but-'' Jellal stopped talking as he felt the energy of Anima.
'He's doing it again...I have to put my full attention on it or things here will be pretty bad. I can't leave Wendy alone unless...' he put his glance on the pink haired mage who stared at the young girl with a dark look. Jellal saw that the Slayer was powerful for a boy of his age even he was pretty pessimistic, harsh and seemed angry when the young bluenette asked the question about his foster parent.
'He's a bit hardcore, but he can protect and raise Wendy...I just hope that he will not reveal how the world is not as kind and beautiful as her mother said' he thought.
''What's the name of your father Natsu-san?''
''...Igneel...'' he said with venom.
''He's the one who taught you your magic?''
''...Yeah'' 'Even though that bastard had never planned to finish my training' he thought.
''Did he talk about my mummy Grandeeney? Mummy Grandeeney talked about the other Dragons who had Dragon Slayers like us! But she's been gone for one year and I miss her. Do you miss your father, Natsu-san?'' Natsu was about to explode, but he remained calm.
''No...''
''What! How can you not miss him, I miss my mummy everyday...'' the six year old girl was about cry. Before Natsu could reply, Jellal interrupted them.
''Sorry to break up your conversation, but I have bad news'' he said. Wendy was surprised as Natsu just raised an eyebrow.
''I constantly feel Anima form and after what happened today, I can't stay with you, Wendy.''
''But why?'' tears began to fall.
''My father tried to open the portal and I can't focus on my task and take care of you at the same time. You see, those men who want to hurt you to get me, my father sent a spy to our world. I had to hide and I can't watch you at the same time'' Jellal continued to explain as Wendy started to cry.
''W-Why do you want to leave me too? I-I don't want to lose you too, Jellal-san'' Wendy replied.
''I know, but this is very difficult for you and for me and I don't have the power to protect you'' He turn his attention to the Flame Devil Dragon Slayer who stared at them with a calculative look on his tan face.
''I know we only met a short while ago, but can you take care of Wendy? She has nobody and I'm sure that you will be of great help'' the blue haired boy said as Natsu was lost in his own thoughts.
'Hmm...I have no interest to take care of a cry baby, but she's a Dragon Slayer, but a very weak one and young too. But, I was in the same position one year ago and Pumpkin-head took care of me and explained the truth about those bastards...maybe I can use this to my advantage. Yeah, I will do the same thing that Dyrus did to me and she will not be a tool to protect humanity. No, a Dragon Slayer that will surpass her mother's title' He thought as he wanted to break their parents' plan.
''...Fine, I will do it since you didn't make the same mistake as our foster parents'' Natsu said as he crossed his arms. He simply watched the goodbye between the bluenettes.
''W-Why do you have to leave...I want to help you'' she said as she rubbed her tears away from her pale cheeks. Jellal had a sad smile. ''I know that, but you're too young to protect me...Natsu will take care of you and I think that you'll be happy with him'' he said as he hugged Wendy for the last time.
''Will I see you again?'' she asked with hope. The blue haired boy nodded his head and ruffled her dark blue hair. Then he put his attention on the Fire Dragon Slayer.
''Make her strong, Natsu!'' he said seriously.
''Don't worry about that and your secret is safe with me. If you want to see, go in Magnolia Town and search for the Fairy Tail guild'' the blue haired prince nodded as he said goodbye for the last time before he vanished to Natsu's surprise.
''Never saw that coming, he's very intelligent for someone who doesn't have any magical powers on him...for a human'' he said to himself as he put his attention to the blue haired Dragon Slayer.
''Hey you, stop crying! Crying will not bring you mother back'' Natsu said as Wendy looked at him.
''But I miss her so much! I'm sure she misses me too'' Wendy tried to convince the older Dragon Slayer who simply snorted.
''Really? So you're telling me why a Dragon would leave her six year old alone without any support or money, did she expect that someone will help you or something?'' Natsu said as Wendy tried to find an answer.
''She said that I was her precious daughter and would never leave my side...she's gone?''
''Look, Sky Dragon, I know you miss your mom, but this is a waste of time. Your mother decided to choose humanity over you.'' Natsu smirked mentally as the saw the shocked face of the little girl.
''She chose humanity over me? I don't understand''
''I didn't know much about your mum, but my older brother told me things about her. She was recognized for her healing abilities and get under people's skin or scales...and the only reason she gave was to be a tool of the humanity.''
''A t-tool of humanity?''
''Unlike some Dragons who completely hate the humans, your mother loves them so during the Dragon Civil War, she took their side and even killed their race using Dragon Slayer Magic. Also, because of this mistake, they decided to take orphans like us to be future protectors like them and never bother to finish our training. They want us to be weak so they will keep their titles'' the last remark surprised the blue haired Dragon Slayer.
''S-he feared my future pon-tential?'' she said the word with difficulty.
''She may fear that you will surpass her someday. Look, I know this is a lot of information for you, but I don't want you to do the same mistake that I did'' he took off his scarf as Wendy saw the scar on his neck. ''When...Igneel left me alone in a forest, I was lost and scared and I was attacked by Dark Mage like those weirdos, if my older brother didn't save me...I would be dead'' he lied at the last part, no way he would reveal his Demon Hybrid secret to her, he didn't trust her.
''Your older brother? You have an older brother!''
''No, technically he's just an older Dragon Slayer who I saw as my older brother. He taught me everything that my bastard of a father didn't want to teach me. He said that he tried to find his dad for months but he never succeeded...after everything I said, what is your choice...become the tool of a race who doesn't deserve it and be a permanent cry-baby or be like me. A Dragon Slayer, a warrior and killer, depending on your mood, a mage that will never be scared of those trash'' Natsu explained as he waited for an answer.
In the mind of the blue haired Slayer, everything was confusing. It began in the attack of the five weirdos, meeting a Dragon Slayer, Jellal coming from another world and that her mother chose humanity instead of her. She always hoped that her mother was just playing a game and she will find her like always but not this time. This realization caused a hole to appear in her heart. She wondered why her foster mother loves humans so much and why she was so kind to them, with some exception like Jellal and Natsu. She didn't have the best experience with humans, they laughed at her, criticized her and insulted her when she asked questions about her mother. Even the presence of Jellal couldn't help her. But then she saw the Fire Dragon Slayer and what he could do. He was like her, an orphan who was abandoned by his father and almost died because he cried.
Then, she wiped away the tears from her pale cheeks and stood up with a determined look on her face that surprised Natsu.
''So, did you make your choice, Sky Dragon? ... Will you become strong or be a tool?'' he awaited her answer.
''I-If I become strong l-like you...will you never leave my side?'' Natsu was quite surprised by her reply. He almost thought that she would take the side of her mother despite everything he said.
''Sure, whatever, but don't complaint if this is too hard for you'' he shrugged as the Sky Dragon Slayer caught him off-guard by hugging him. Natsu didn't reply as he felt uncomfortable.
'Why is she hugging me...weird, but nice' he thought as he looked to the stars.
Magnolia Town, June 26th-X778
''Are we almost there yet, Natsu-san?'' Wendy said tiredly as she rubbed her eyes. The two Dragon Slayers slept by the campfire before they left for Magnolia and during they short travel, the younger Dragon Slayer asked a ton of questions to the Fire Dragon Slayer who gave simple answers since he was annoyed, but not to Lisanna's level. Natsu remarked that the little bluenette tried to mimic his movement and be serious in which she failed every time he said something funny. For Natsu, it was like the feeling that he got when he was with Dyrus and felt nostalgic thinking about him.
''Almost, I need to get my reward before we go to your new home. If everything passes nicely, you can meet my sensei...she's very special...and don't be surprised if she's naked'' Natsu said as he said to himself to not transform in front of the Sky Dragon Slayer.
''Is your teacher the one who made you this strong?'' she asked innocently as they walked into a building with the name Fairy Tail on the banner. She was intrigued by the name of the guild, but Natsu caught her attention.
''Oh yeah, on the same level as your mother and... that fire bastard. By the way, don't confused by the name, nobody has seen Fairies in centuries. Oh, and if you see a boy in his underwear, call me and I'll deal with him'' Natsu said seriously as she didn't understand, but nodded her head anyways.
Then, the two Slayers went into the guild and saw everyone turn their heads toward them, they especially looked at Natsu who had a big battle Axe on his back with a big bag.
''Yo Natsu! How have you been, I thought you would be done easily with your job and who is that little girl with you?'' Makarov asked as he saw the Axe and Wendy.
''I had some complications and this is Wendy, she will be staying with me'' Natsu replied simply as Wendy stared at the floor.
''Hello, Wendy, how are you doing?'' Wendy didn't reply as she was listening to something intently.
''You see that little girl over there.''
''Yeah. I bet this is another orphan who lost her family.''
''It sucks that it's another brat, there aren't a lot of chicks around here.''
''Hmph! I bet she would say something sad to have attention and she's with Flame-Brain.''
''Gray! Seriously! She just came in one minute ago and you're already judging her...you're an idiot!''
''It's not my fault if she looks like a weak girl.''
''Gray! Remember what the master said.''
''Hmph! we don't need another cry-baby...'' the last voice made her clench her little fists.
'Natsu-san was right, they don't deserve to be save' she thought.
''Hey, are you alright, sweety?'' Makarov asked as he saw that Wendy didn't reply. Wendy raised her head and saw the concerned look on his face with wrinkles. Like Natsu said, there were always exceptions.
''Y-Yeah, Old man-san, I'm just tired'' she lied as he caught the lie, but didn't say anything, he just smiled.
''So are you here to join my guild like Natsu?'' Wendy nodded her head with a little smile. She turned her head toward Natsu who nodded his head in agreement. Then, he took a magical stamp and stamped her right shoulder where the guild mark of Fairy Tail appeared.
''All done! I cannot wait to see your progress, Wendy. Natsu, you can go home, someone's been waiting for you with Mirajane since yesterday'' Makarov said.
''Got it!''
Then, the elder man left them and suddenly Levy arrived with a huge smile on her face.
''Hi, Natsu!'' she yelled happily.
''Yo, Levy, you did my test, huh? Looks like you, me, and Wendy will form a team after all. Wendy, this is Levy, my new teammate. Levy, this is Wendy, a Dragon Slayer like me and she just joined the guild'' he said with a small smile.
''That's nice! What element do you use, Wendy?'' before the little bluenette could reply, two voices interrupted them.
''Levy!''
''Levy!''
They saw two boys around their age. The first boy had orange hair, a sharp face, a prominent, flat and defined nose pointing downwards, and distinctive teeth, with a protruding, sharp, triangular-shaped upper molar complemented by a chipped portion on the lower row. The other boy had black hair kept in an unusual, distinctive hairstyle.
''Hey, Levy, you want to make team with us!'' the orange haired said.
''Yeah we'll make the most awesome team in Fairy Tail!'' the black haired boy added.
''...Are you kidding right? I asked and both of you laughed at me!'' Levy said furiously as the two boy flinched and the Dragon Slayers just watched.
''Come on, it was yesterday and you did a job by yourself so that means you're pretty strong!''
''Yeah, come on, just leave those losers. I mean look at that little girl, she looks like a person who will cry-'' before the orange haired boy could finish, he heard a huge cry and he saw the bluenette Dragon Slayer's bangs covering her face.
''I'm not a cry-baby! Sky Dragon's Roar!'' she released a huge twister of air at the two boys from everyone surprise. The roar crashed against a wall and the two boys hit the floor unconscious. Everyone's jaw hit the floor as Natsu grinned madly.
''...''
''...''
''Not another one!''
''Very impressive, Wendy, you gave those two idiots what they deserved'' Natsu said, smiling as he put his key into his door while carrying his Axe and bag of gold.
''It's a good thing, right? Grandeeney said it's not good to hurt people for no reason'' Wendy replied.
''She's not here anymore and you need to stand up for yourself or everyone will treat you like crap'' the two Slayers entered the house and as they walked into the living room, they saw Mirajane with Lilith who was drinking and in her human form with a beautiful silver haired woman in a maid outfit.
''What the hell is going here! Who is that! Lilith don't tell me you slept with a maid in my bed along with Mirajane!'' Natsu pointed at the orange haired Demon as she punched him towards his bed.
''Fuck you, you stupid brat! I don't do that shit with kids!'' she put her hand on her hips.
''So you would actually do it?''
''Of course I would do it! But with you, it's been years since I tas-'' she was interrupted by the silver haired woman.
''I'm sorry to break up your conversation, but we have a kid over there'' Grayfia said as her face was red just like Wendy's.
''...Fine, Natsu, this is your new maid Grayfia Lucifuge and your new teacher'' she said as Grayfia bowed to him.
''It's nice to meet you, Natsu-sama' she said simply.
''...''
''What!''
Chapter three is done. I can't believe school is finally over. Oh yeah, next chapter will take what I left...too lazy too continued. The Elemental Five will return since I want the villains that Natsu meet and will meet clash with him, during his adventures. I got the idea from them when I play DBXV...grinding to level 99 leave some mark on my mind. Also Natsu will have an all new team composed of Levy, Mirajane, Wendy and one last member with the Exceed...Should Natsu keep Happy or make a new Exceed because Natsu and Mira will bond in the next chapter with the Exceed and Gildarts and Laxus appear. So review.
