Hello and welcome to the late chapter 7 of Only Time Can Heal a Dragons Heart. My apologies for lack of chapters, but my body was over taken by the ravages of Allergies that occur to me this time of year, not normal allergies, but not serious, it just makes it quite uncomfortable for me to do anything. Thank you for the continuation of the rising follower and favorite count, it warms my heart and inflates my ever growing ego to see the notifications throughout the day. I only did this part on Monday because I had no idea what to do with this chap since I wanted one more until they get to Grimoire but I had an idea whilst taking a shower. And if you have any ideas for Badass sounding moves for Natsu, mostly forbidden techniques, (as he will have no care for the fact that they are forbidden) moves that sound devastating and send chills up your spine from sheer awesomeness, I already have a few (3) and I'm looking for 5 and one more move that screams (you are sooooo completely and utterly fucked), just put them in the reviews or PM me. Now let's get this fanfu*****tastic fan fic written.
"Speech"

I don't own Fairy Tail but I do own this story and all that will be posted in my profile.

Chapter 7: Darkness
It was in the middle of the night when they came. Bandits, bandits came for them, but not Natsu, only for the women.
They were slavers, they injected sleeping drugs into all three through the lining of the tents.
They left Natsu drugged induced deep sleep while they took the women back to their hideout which was several miles away, little did they know that it wasn't easy to hide from a dragon slayer.
As Natsu awoke it was a few hours after sunrise.
As he left his tent he noticed something amiss.
The campsite was empty of people, all of their belongings were gone, and the ladies tents were open.
Knowing something was off he smelled the air, smelling drugs In the air mixed with the scents of Ultear and Meredy, along with four strange scents that he determined to be male.
The scent trailed off into the woods, so he immediately followed the scent at a full run with his hands flaming behind his back boosting his speed as he hoped he would catch up to them soon.
It only took him about an hour to come to the opening of a cave into which the scents led. He barged into the cave and ran through a narrow tunnel, the light from his flames flickered off the wall dancing amongst shadows.
The narrow tunnel led into a large chamber, almost every inch of the walls were occupied by women, naked women whose ages ranged from 16-40 as was his guess.
They were all half alive and unconscious and as it looked they were quite mal-nourished, it was also apparent that they had been violated and raped. This pissed him off beyond belief, but it was the center of the chamber that sent him into a rage that he could barely contain.
There in the middle of the chamber, chained to the cavern floor, were Ultear and Meredy, stripped of all clothing, unconscious and surrounded by five men.
He could tell that four of the men matched the scents that had invaded his campsite, but the fifth was an unknown man, obviously the leader of the gang of slavers. As they noticed the presence of the flaming man, all of them uttered one word, "shit".
Natsu glared at the men before screaming, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM, I SWEAR TO WHATEVER GOD THAT WATCHES OVER EARTHLAND, IF YOU HURT THEM OR VIOLATED THEM IN ANY WAY, THEN SAID GOD WITH WATCH AS I TEAR YOUR ASSES APART!"
All of the shouting woke up all of the women in the chamber, then the cavern fell silent, everyone just staring at the pissed dragon slayer.
The only sound in the room was coming from the dragon slayers footsteps, as he approached the slavers. The slavers, regained their senses and saw the approaching flaming boy.
"What are you gonna do boy? Who cares if we raped all these women, if you had come any later the same fate would have felled on these two fresh young beauties.
Natsu charged at them, they tried to disperse, but Natsu was too fast, he grabbed the first man and threw him against the wall above the women, upon impact he spat out blood and fell onto the groun, unconscious.
Not leaving any time for any of the other men to get away he grabbed the feet of the next two slavers and swung them over his back, swung the back over and slammed them on the ground in front of him.
He dashed towards the last slaver not including the leader, and punched him in the gut as hard as he could manage, the shock wave from his punch, broke all of his ribs and punctured a lung.
Now he turned to the leader, who was just standing in front of Ultear and Meredy, in shock to what he had just witnessed. In a fraction of a second he was in front of the man, he quickly grabbed the leader by the face and lifted him off the ground.
"How could you do this to innocent women, tell me now!" He ordered, The man could only let out a muffled
"I don't know, through the hand of the dragon slayer," followed by a cry of pain as Natsu's grip tightened.
"Are there any other women you've captured, any other bases I should no about?!" The dragon slayer demanded.
"No" was all the man could say before Natsu had had enough of this.
"Then you are of no use. NOW DIE!" Natsu crushed the scull of the leader.
The man fell to the ground as Natsu released his grip, dead with a dis figured face. Natsu let his anger subside as he needed to tend to all of these women.
Natsu melted off the chains that bound Ultear and Meredy and they jumped on him hugging him very tightly before Ultear spoke "
Thank god you made it in time, they had almost…." She was silenced as Natsu put his finger to her lips.
"It's ok, you don't need to talk about it, I know, I'm glad I made it here in time too, but well talk later, we need to free these other women.
After all the women were freed and had retrieved enough clothing to cover the necessities, from a pile of clothing in the back of the cave, Natsu gave them enough money for a proper meal and some proper clothing.
Which left him near broke as there were around 25 women in total.
Each women thanked him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek as they ran out of the cave to the nearby town to reunite with their families.
Ultear only watched these displays of gratitude with burning jealousy all over her face as her "daughter" saw this and couldn't help but laugh.
Ultear glared at the laughing Meredy. As the last of the women finished their thank you's and left the cave, Ultear approached Natsu,
"So how come you killed the leader" she asked.
"Because he deserved it," was his reply which surprised her. " But I thought it was against your morals to kill someone, and the way you did it, without any fear, guilt, regret, or remorse in your eyes, it looked like you didn't really care that you just killed a man, not to mention the one who you puched who is probably on deaths door right now. She said to Natsu.
"It's not against my morals anymore, fuck those guys, and if they had raped you I would have slowly roasted them alive, after breaking every bone in their body" he said with no remorse.
"And now to end the one who's still dying." He said as he walked to the slaver that was barely breathing.
As he reached the man, the slaver turned his head to the mage, knowing what was going to happen, he prepared himself for death.
"Burn in the fires of hell you piece of shit." He said as he slammed his foot on top of the savers head leaving it disfigured much like the face of the leader.
He watched as life quickly left his eyes before he turned back to the women, before he turned back into his normal idiot self. He quickly remembered something he had forgotten to do and walked up to Ultear,
"I'm umm, sorry about last night, I didn't know that saying stuff like that hurt women so much, it was very immature of me and I hope that you can forgive me," Ultear walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek, "
It's ok dragon boy, I forgive you," she said yo the now shocked "dragon boy".
His expression returned to normal and he waked to the entrance of the narrow tunnel.
"So let's get going shall we." He said with a cheerful smile across his face.
They made it back to the campsite right before night fall, Nastu had gone to bed almost immediately after they returned, leaving Ultear and Meredy alone.
"So what do you think happened to Natsu back there?" Meredy asked her mother.
"I'm not quite sure, but I have a feeling it might have something to do with that coma we found him in or that purple fire we saw.
It might have changed him." She said with worry growing in her eyes.
"Well all I know is that the old Natsu would have never killed someone, and especially with such brutality and with no guilt at all." Meredy said.
"Well the old Natsu would have never joined Grimoire Heart, now would he." She said.
"Well I guess you right on that one", Meredy admitted before walking to her tent.
"Well goodnight mom" she said as she crawled inside.
Not long after her did Ultear entered her tent and quickly fell asleep, dreaming about a flaming knight without armor, but instead, very chiseled abs.
Well there you have it folks, Chapter 7. Next chapter they will arrive at Grimoire heart, a new rivalry/broship will be born, along with a budding romance, wonder who it belongs to *duh*. Don't forget to leave any tips, advice, suggestions, or ideas in the reviews or PM me I'd be glad to respond. Now fare the well my good readers, may the guidance of the spirit of the almighty bear guide you onto happiness and joy.
