Chapter 4: Bonds

Natsu was very curious about this but Igneel was fully aware of this kind of magic.

"Abaddon, I think Natsu isn't ready for that kind of power. You should try it on someone else."

"It's already too late Igneel. The council agreed on it and you won't know how long it took me to find these ingredients to revive you. Plus it will be a good opportunity to finally defeat Acnologia."

Igneel starts to think about it and looks at Natsu. He then nodded and said," Fine but if something were to happen to Natsu during this training. I wish to be punished for what I have done."

Natsu was shock and curious on what his father was saying.

"Dad what are you talking about?"

"I'll explain everything to you later but for now let's do this training."

Igneel gave a big thumbs up and smile. Natsu did the same thing.

"Okay! Let's do this together!"

"Excuse me Natsu!"

Natsu calmed down and looked over to Abaddon.

"Okay. Now the training will start in three days so I suggest for you to head back to Magnolia. Your friends might be worried about you."

"Okay but what about Igneel?"

"Igneel will stay here and catch up with his father."

"His father?"

"And his father is over here" said a humongous voice.

Natsu turned around and it was the beautiful dragon that he saw a while ago.

"Wait you're a boy?!"

"Yes I am and my name is Draco."

"Oh that's an awesome name. Can you tell me how you made the-"

Natsu got cut off by Abaddon because he teleported Natsu back to his home world.

"Master why did you do that?"

"He was asking too many questions that's all."

Igneel chuckled a little.

"What's so funny my son?"

"It's nothing but let me tell you all about Natsu."

(Back at Magnolia)

It was early in the morning and Lucy has just woken up. As she looked around, she felt kind of strange seeing Juvia all over Gray. She ignored it and head over to the bathroom. She got her bath ready and begins to undress. She got in and was wandering if Natsu will return. Then a big flash of light hit the bathroom and Lucy can barely see what's going on. All of a sudden she heard something splash right in front of her. She was a little scared but she felt the water getting hotter. What immerged was a recognizable face. It was Natsu and Lucy was very happy to see him. Natsu noticed Lucy and said, "Oh hey Luce! How are you doing?"

"Well considered being left behind and having to walk over 15 miles to get home. I been doing well."

"Nice but why are you naked?"

Lucy just blinked and screamed. She then began starting to hit Natsu and Natsu just ran out of there. Natsu was breathing rapidly and Gray notices it.

"Glad that your back fire breath."

"Nothing strange ice killer."

Gray just gave a smile and so did Natsu. Juvia woken up and was surprised to see Natsu return.

"Oh Natsu. You are back already."

"Yeah why?"

"Well Juvia was hoping for another day to be all alone with Gray-sama."

"I told you to stop calling me that and what happened last night wasn't anything special."

"Wait, Gray what happen last night?"

"Well it's a long story so I rather wait for you to find out."

"Fine then."

Just then Lucy step out wearing her usual clothing and was a little annoyed of Natsu.

"Sheesh Natsu why did you do that?"

"It wasn't me. Abaddon was the one who teleported me."

"Fine I guess so. By the way I told Gray and Juvia everything but you have to tell the rest."

"Okay then I will."

Natsu told everyone about what happened after he returned back at Abaddon's home.

"No way your fathers back?!"

"Yeah he is Gray."

"What's this Dragon Awakening?"

"I don't know but Igneel is going to tell me during the training."

"Did you see Juvia's mother up there?"

Natsu, Gray, and Lucy gave Juvia a curious look.

Gray said," What do you mean your mother?"

"When Juvia was just young, I never got to know my mother but my father told Juvia something about her being a god."

"Well I'll see if I can bring you guys with me then you can ask Abaddon there," said Natsu.

Juvia gave a happy smile. Natsu asked Lucy where Happy went off to.

"Well the last thing I remember was he went with Wendy and Carla."

"Oh okay."

Silence filled the room for a few seconds then Gray said," Well what do you want to do next?"

"I don't know but maybe-"

Knocking came through the door and everyone was very curious. Natsu got up and answered the door. A man appeared before him and he had a black and red jacket on. He had some black jeans with a silver chain. His hair was fire red color. His face was very different and his eyes were black.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I?"

The man voice seems very familiar to Natsu.

"It's me my son. Igneel."
