A/N: Hey guys! Flaredragon here and I want to say sorry. Since school started again my updates will slow down. Though that doesn't mean that I won't try my best ok?
I don't own Fairy Tail or any of the characters from within the manga/anime except for the human form of Igneel.

Chapter 5
(Scene: Magnolia)
Igneel, Grandine and Metalicana have been catching up with each other while walking to Fairy Tail. Unlike Natsu and Gajeel, Igneel and Metalicana can handle being around each other and were best friends. Grandine thought of Metalicana like a brother as well, but sometimes he acts really annoying. About half way there, Igneel grabbed Grandine's hand and pulled her close so he could hold her. The town's people looked at them and just thought of them as long time buddies
.
Metalicana and Igneel were chatting and joking around while Grandine was staring lovingly at Igneel and hugging him tightly. It was just like old times, except they weren't in their human forms. Those were the good times.
"So Igneel, do you really think that they will allow us to join?" asked Metalicana as they were close to the guild.
Igneel responded with a toothy grin, "I don't see why not. They let me join so I don't see why they wouldn't let you," then he snarled, "and if they don't then I'll make them accept you."
"Thanks Igneel, but still..."
"Come on Metalicana, you need stop worrying and relax! After all, you're going to see your son again" said Igneel before focusing his attention on Grandine. Metalicana smiled at the thought of meeting his son again. He truly missed Gajeel and wondered how he will react to their soon-to-be reunion. He was so different when he was a child. He truly grew up. Grandine felt the same about her little Wendy and was wondering how she will react.
The three soon came to the front doors and heard some screaming and crashing inside the guild. Igneel was excited about the noise and thought of it being another one of the guild brawls. The other two thought the same thing since Igneel told them about the guild brawls his son would start.
When Igneel kicked the door open, he was met with a screaming Natsu crashing into him. When Metalicana and Grandine looked inside, they saw what looked like a small battlefield. Lisanna and Gray were doing their best to stop a rampaging Elfman towards Natsu while Laxus and Erza were holding back Mira from attacking Natsu any further. Most of the guild was basically going all out with one another.
Macao and Wakaba were fighting with just their fists. Freed was grappling with Bickslow and arguing about him never had chance with some girl. Laki and Evergreen were having a catfight. Jet and Droy were being tossed around by Gajeel as if they were dolls. Max had a broom up his ass… again.
"Natsu you unmanly bastard, it's not manly of what you did to my sister!" Elfman bellowed as Lisanna and Gray were losing their grip on Elfman. Some of the guild members were hiding from the wrath of the Strauss siblings.
Grandine was shocked at what she saw. Metalicana was amused of the scene played out in front of him and was tempted to join in.
Igneel looked at Natsu in the eye and shouted out, "Natsu can you tell me what's going on!"
Just as Natsu opened his mouth, Master Makarov got into his titan mode and shouted out, "STOP FIGHTING YOU BRATS!"
Everyone stopped from what they were doing and trembled before their master; well, everyone except Elfman did.
"It's not manly to sto-argh!" the master quickly stepped on him before Elfman could finish his sentence.
"NOW Can someone please tell me what this entire ruckus is about?" Makarov said as he shrunk down to his original size.
Mira pointed at Natsu and said, "Natsu and Lisanna have been dating and didn't tell anyone! Also he slept with her." The last part she said with venom and was glaring at a trembling Natsu.
The whole was shocked to hear that. They didn't expect the idiotic dragon slayer to be in a relationship or know what one is; let alone having sex. All the girls were blushing and most were happy about the couple, yet some of the girls didn't seem happy about this, specifically a certain blonde celestial mage. Some of the guys were glaring at Natsu with hate, especially Bickslow and Laxus.
"Natsu is this true?" Makarov asked as he glared at Natsu. Natsu simply nodded, scared at what the master would do to him.
Makarov and Igneel glared at Natsu before both of them hugged Natsu. They were crying tears of joy and were congratulating him, which shocked the guild.
"I'm so proud of you Natsu!" Makarov cried before breaking the hug.
"I can't wait for my little baby grandchildren dragon slayers!" shouted out Igneel still hugging Natsu.
"AHEM!"
Makarov and the rest of the guild looked at the man that cleared his throat and the woman next to him. The guild looked at them with wide eyes. The women were looking at the man with a bit of a blush covering their faces and all the guys were staring at the woman with hearts in their eyes. When they looked at the two a bit longer, they noticed that these two have a powerful aura just like Igneel's and their eyes held tremendous power.
The man stepped forward and said, "I was wondering if I and my friend could join the guild.
"Can you tell me your names first?" the Master questioned.
"My name is Metalicana and-"
"My name is Grandine, it's nice to meet you." Interrupted Grandine.
Once again, the guild was shocked. Wendy and Gajeel stared wide eyed at them before coming up to them. The second they took in their scent, they realized that they really were their dragons. Wendy ran up to Grandine and hugged her waist tightly and started crying out, "It's you…it's really you Grandine…"
"Yes Wendy, it's really me. I'm right here little one." Grandine responded. Gajeel and Metalicana stared at each other for a moment before Metalicana stating that Gajeel still had that vile look in his eyes.
"Now that we're done," Makarov suddenly said, "IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE FOR THE NEW COUPLE AND TWO NEW MEMBERS!" he finished screaming.
The whole guild started to celebrate. Metalicana and Grandine were staring at the guild surprised at their sudden change in attitude. First they were fighting each other, then they got quiet and now they're partying like crazy. They both stared at Igneel, who was still hugging Natsu. Igneel noticed that they were staring and said,
"What? I'm proud that my son finally has his mate. Besides, why are you still standing there? It's time to party!"
Metalicana and Grandine just shrugged and joined party with their kids. They have a feeling that they will enjoy Fairy Tail.
~Time Skip~
After three hours the party was still going on strong. Metalicana, Grandine and Igneel finally got their guild marks. Grandine had her mark on her left heel in blue. Metalicana got his mark on his right bicep in grey. Igneel got his on his right shoulder red; just like Natsu's.
Igneel and Metalicana started to fight with Erza and Mira. Cana was having a drinking contest against six men at once and she's winning… again. The Thunder Tribe and Team Shadow Gear were doing a pose off. Reedus was painting out the scene before him. Laxus went to the bar and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. The guys tried to flirt with Grandine until she said that she was taken or giving them a glare, whichever one comes first. The rest were doing whatever they do.
Grandine finally sat with Wendy, Carla and Levy. Grandine and Wendy were catching up and had Levy and Carla joining in as well when Grandine suddenly asked, "So do either you have a mate or have a special man in your heart?"
Both Levy and Wendy looked down and blushed. Grandine laughed and asked Levy who her man was. Levy didn't say anything; instead, she glanced at Gajeel for a few seconds.
"Oh, so you're after Metalicana's son? I'd say that's good; if he's anything like his father, then you wouldn't be walking straight for a week. At least that's what his mate told me." Grandine said with a wink.
Levy blushed so hard it got to the point of her being a radioactive tomato. "Wait, what about you? Don't you have someone?" Levy countered.
The woman smiled at bit before answering; "Igneel is my mate." she looked over to see that Igneel is now arm wrestling Metalicana. She then continued with a dreamy smile, "He's like no other dragon I've ever met."
Both Levy and Wendy looked at the woman/sky dragon with eyes the size of saucers. They looked at Igneel then back to her then shrieked out,
"EHHHH!"
Wendy then asked frantically, "You two are together?! Does that mean Natsu-san is my BROTHER?!" She seemed to be a bit freaked out by the thought.
"Well he is, but he's your step-brother. Why ask that and how come you're freaking out?" asked Grandine. Wendy became quiet and her face became scarlet.
Grandine smirked, "Oh, so you have some feelings for Natsu little one?" Wendy muttered out,
"It's only a crush" she let out a small squeal after realizing she said it out loud.
Levy gasped at this new information. "You like Natsu?" Wendy simply looked down and nodded.
"I'm not really surprised. When young female dragons or dragon slayers gets attracted to those she becomes close to. In Wendy's case, she has feeling her big brother Natsu~." said Grandine in a teasing tone at the end. "That's pretty naughty of you Wendy, going after your step brother, but I wouldn't blame you. He is cute~"
Wendy couldn't believe that she was being teased by her own mother. Grandine kept teasing Wendy about her crush until Levy told Grandine to leave her alone.
At that time they heard the town's bells ringing. The guild suddenly got more excited while the Igneel and other dragons were confused. Then the ground started to shake and soon the whole town started to reform.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" Igneel screamed as he the town reshaping itself from the window and saw that a path was being made towards the guild.
"So he's returned." Makarov said with a small grin.
"Who returned?" Grandine asked as she turned to the tiny master.
"His name is Gildarts; he's the ace of Fairy Tail. He's powerful and well skilled. He doesn't come here often due to him traveling."
"But I don't see why the town would need to reshape itself to make a path."
Makarov started to look the other way and said, "Oh that, well, he may be powerful but he's also very destructive due to his magic. If he doesn't focus on his magic then he would destroy something just by passing by or going through it." Grandine sweat drop.
The guild doors suddenly got destroyed as Gildarts was coming in. He was soon greeted by Natsu flying towards him with a flaming fist. Gildarts simply caught his fist and tossed him towards a wall like some ragdoll. Lisanna and Wendy went to see if Natsu was okay. After that, Gildarts greeted the whole guild and soon the guild resumed the party. Gildarts came up to the master and greeted him, Makarov doing the same.
"So old man, what happened when I was gone?" Gildarts asked as he watch the guild partying. He noticed how Natsu and Lisanna were making out in the corner, enjoying each other. He's happy that the two FINALLY got together.
"So many things have happened since you left." Makarov said grinning, also noticing the happy couple.
Gildarts returned the grin and said, "Then fill me in on what happened."
For the next ten minutes, Makarov explained everything from the Grand Magic Games to the three dragons joining Fairy Tail. Gildarts was impressed that the guild went through so many things in just several months.
"Wow, I'm impressed. So where the dragons and how strong are they?" Gildarts asked as he looked around to see the new members. Makarov thought about how strong the dragons were and soon admitted that he doesn't know. Gildarts smirked and said,
"Then why don't we find out?"
Makarov smiled at the thought and soon called out to the guild, "Listen up you brats! I got something to say!" Everyone quieted down to see what he was going to say. "As you all know, we have some new members." Everyone nodded. "But yet we don't really know how strong they are or what they're capable of!" This got the all the dragons' attention. "So how about we have some matches in the arena and find out!"
The whole guild exploded with cheers. Soon members signed up for the fights while Cana was off to the side setting up a pool for people to bet. Soon enough everyone from the guild and Magnolia went to the arena to watch the fights. The dragons got to the center of the arena and stretched. Igneel soon shouted out,
"So who's going to come up first and who do want to fight?"
Laxus with the Thunder Tribe following him went out and said with a stoic face,
"We're fighting and we challenge you."
"Then prepare to lose blonde."
The other dragons got out of the arena so they could give them room. Igneel went to one end to sit down while the Laxus and the others went to the other end. Makarov raised his hand up and yelled out,
"The battle is about to begin!"
Laxus and the Thunder Tribe took their stances while Igneel remained sitting down looking down as if he was sleeping.
"Let the battle BEGIN!"
Bickslow made the first move as he got his dolls to perform "Baryon Formation".
"All right babies, Baryon Formation now!"
Evergreen then executed her move "Leprechaun".
Freed unsheathed his blade and performed "Dark Ecriture: Fear"
Igneel still haven't made a move as the shots got closer. The shot made direct contact and blasted the half of the arena to oblivion. Everyone was amazed at the power the Thunder Tribe possessed. Makarov got ready to announce them the winners until he heard someone chuckling from the debris.
Igneel got out of the debris. His clothes were torn and burned, but his body didn't have any injuries whatsoever. He stood but his head was still hanging down as his hair casted a shadow over his eyes. The trio trembled when Igneel looked up at them with cold eyes and growled out,
"If you think you can even scratch me with that kind of power, then you're gravely mistaking." This got Laxus worried. All three of those attacks at someone would cause heavy damage to anyone; even a Ten Wizard Saint! Igneel continued,
"Fight me with everything you have otherwise you won't have any chance of winning. Dragons take fights and battles very serious so you better not show any mercy or else your chance of survival will be slim."
Everyone was on edge after hearing that. Igneel growled with power in his voice,
"Now let's begin shall we?"
A/N: That's chapter 5 everyone! I know that I put it in a cliff hanger but the chapter was getting a little long, so I decided to put the fight in the next chapter. Thank you to everyone that's reading my story. I know I haven't done very much stuff that involved Metalicana or Gajeel so I'll get them in the future chapters. I will add a bit of tension for the romance part of this story if you guys didn't realize it. If you think that Igneel seemed kind of dark or off character, then you're right. I decided to make the dragons seem more serious and scary when they want things to be serious or go all out. If you guys have questions then PM me or review. See you guys next time.
Flaredragon out.
