"Natsu speaking"
'Natsu thoughts'
Chapter 4
•two weeks later- outskirts of Magnolia •
Two weeks after his fight with the plant dragon Virentium and his encounter with Mavis Vermillion, Natsu headed to the guild knows as Fairy tail for the Lumen Histoire. He's now walking on the outskirts of town of Magnolia.
'Ok I'll enter the town at night, the guild hall must be the tallest building in town.' Thought Natsu walking on the dirt road. He keeps on thinking with his eyes looking down until he looks up to see a man walking on the same dirt road only on the opposite direction the man has slick back orange hair he wears a long, black, high-collared and tattered cloak with shoulder plates similar to Natsu's minus the plates and add a hood, unknowingly to Natsu this man is Gildrats Clive the strongest wizard in Fairy tail. Natsu keep his face hidden in his hood as he passes by him. As both walk pass by another Gildrats bumps into Natsu on accident.
"Oh my bad kid sorry about that" said the orange haired man with a smile on his face.
"It's ok I wasn't even looking where I was going either" said Natsu as he kept walking. Gildrats looked at the hooded Etherious with a serious expression on his face.
'That kid voice it's not human and his presence I don't feel nothing coming from him. He's definitely suppressing his magic energy, and he's headed to town. I got a bad feeling about that kid. I'll wait to see if there's any commotion' thought Gildrats. The Fairy tail mage kept looking at Natsu who is walking towards the city.
'That human he's magical power it's off the charts. Is he part of Fairy tail? If he is then maybe what that spirit said is true, I have to be careful' thought Natsu as he continues towards Magnolia.
•later on at night•
It's about 8:00 at night in the town of Magnolia, Natsu is sitting on the roof of the Kardia Cathedral staring straight at the Fairy tail guild building only a few blocks away.
'So that's Fairy tail eh? I should go and have a look to see who's in the guild. According to the spirit some barmaids should be the only ones there at night.' Thought the Natsu as he jumps off the roof of the church and lands in a dark alley. He starts to move fast and carefully through the dark alleys of the town.
After about a 2 minutes of moving in the darkness he sneaks in the guild, as he walks around the building looking for the basement.
'Ok there's the basement I just have to go down and do some hand signs to open the underground part of the guild to get the lacrima. So far the spirit was right there where only barmaids working.' Thought Natsu as he does three hand signs and a magical circle appears and disappears quickly, then the middle basement floor disappears to reveal stairs going down.
'It's kinda like my hideout. That spirit said there's going to be one more door.' Thought Natsu as he walks to down the stairs. When he walked down all the stairs he see a majestic room with giant door with the Fairy tail emblem on it.
"Here goes" said Natsu quietly as he begins to do the hands signs, as soon as he does the last sign a magic circle like before it appears then disappears. Then the massive door opens letting out light and smoke Natsu's eyes where immediately blinded by the light.
'Damn it really shining. That spirit was telling the truth I can feel the power of the lacrima.' Thought the Etherious with a giant smile on his face. His eyes start to adjust to the light to get a better look at the lacrima but little did he know that the Lumen Histoire is not what he expected to be.
"Now this power will be- what the fuck is this?" Natsu said with a confused expression replaced the smile on his face.
"Wh-what going on here? That spirit told me that the lacrima would be the size of melon. What the fuck is this? She never told me that she was the lacrima." Said a confused Natsu as he stares at the Lumen Histoire he thought would be a small lacrima but in fact the body of Mavis Vermilion encased in a giant lacrima.
"Whatever this lacrima has infinite magic power if I can shatter it in smaller pieces it will be easier to carry to fit into my storage " said Natsu as he grabs his Onslaught ready to break the lacrima into pieces.
"Stop right there if you move an inch towards the lacrima I will destroy you here and now" said a elderly voice behind Natsu. The Etherious turns his head to see who the voice belong to, it belong to a extremely short, bald elderly man this is Makarov Dreyar the third Master of Fairy tail.
"Get away from the lacrima demon." Says Makarov. Natsu takes a few steps back from the lacrima with caution.
'This old man is as strong if not stronger then the guy from earlier and he's not kidding when he says that kill me, he manage to sneak up on me. Who is this old man?' Thought Natsu in his mind.
Makarov waves his hand and closes the door of the Lumen Histoire. The old man turns to the Natsu with hateful scorn on his face. Natsu unaffected by it wonders what this old man is going to do first.
"You have trespass on our property. I don't know who you are or how you knew that this was here but I know I must stop you from escaping from this place demon" said Makarov with both of his hands starting to light up with a gold light, he puts them together.
"I will give you three seconds for you to say your prays demon" said Makarov as all of his body starts to light up with the same gold light in his hands. Natsu goes wide eyed.
'D-Damn this old man not kidding if that attack hits me I'll for sure get severely injured or die, I'm not going to die not again.' thought Natsu as he lights his hands with dark magic.
"3...2...1... Times up I inv-"
"Dark Nebula!" yelled Natsu as the entire underground passage is covered in darkness catching Makarov off guard after 3 seconds the darkness died out and Makarov was the only person in the passage.
"Th-that demon manage to escape by covering everything in darkness I do have to admit he caught me off guard. I must not let him escape." Said the old guild master standing still there trying to pick up Natsu magic scent. Makarov picks up his magic scent.
"So he's heading north." Said Makarov takes out a communication lacrima out of his pocket.
"Hello Gildrats are you still town?"
•with Natsu•
Natsu is currently dashing through Magnolia the fastest he could so he can leave the before Makarov could get him, after a few minutes of running he founds himself in the outskirts of Magnolia.
'So I'm in the outskirts of the town. I should leave here as soon as possible that old man has the power to obliterate me I'm sure that he already knows that im here.' Thought Natsu as he starts to fly away from Magnolia before Makarov could catch him.
'That spirit has a lot of answering to do. The Lumen Histoire does exist but it's not full of Ankhseram magic it's full of all type of magic. Also her physical body is in case in the lacrima. What the hell is going on? Was she trying t-' Natsu thinking were interrupted by a huge wave of magic hitting him. Next thing he knows he crashes on a side of a mountain. Natsu stands up quickly looking at what hit him.
"You that kid I bump into earlier today aren't you? Sorry about the attack but my guild master asked me to stop you from escaping." Said the person responsible for the wave of magic hitting Natsu.
"Y-you. That magic wasn't that crash magic?" Asked Natsu to Gildrats.
"Yah it was your pretty smart for a kid. And speaking of which I had a feeling you were a demon." Said the orange haired man to Natsu who had his hood down revealing his demonic features as a result of the crash magic attack.
"So are you here to kill me? Or what?" Asked Natsu to Gildrats trying to stall for some time so he can come up with a plan to escape.
'I have to get him distracted so I can escape. There's no way I can beat this guy, he may be human but he's magic levels are off the charts.' Thought Natsu.
"Well I'm here to make sure you don't escape that all. Right master?" Gildrats said as he looks at Makarov who is standing a few feet behind Natsu. The young Etherious turns around to see the tiny old man standing behind him with a serious look on his face.
'W-what the fuck! I didn't even sense him. Damn it's looks like I have to fight them. Damn it to hell I've been trick by that damn spirit!" Said Natsu to himself in his mind.
"Demon how do you know about the underground passage?" Asked Makarov calmly to Natsu. The question itself made Gildrats jump a little in surprise.
"W-wait master this kid knows about the 'thing'?" Asked Gildrats.
"Yes. So demon answer me?" Demand the guild master.
"A little fairy told me." Said Natsu in a somewhat sarcastic manner. Makarov study the boy for a few seconds and took a deep breath.
"Demon your coming back to the guild with us." Said Makarov
"Why the fuck would I go back to the guild with you. Unless you're going give the Lumen Histoire." Said Natsu.
"No I'm not going to give you that. You are going to join the guild whether you like or not. You are a liability with the information you have." The tiny old man said with his eyes closed.
"Yah that's going to happen. I'm not going to join your guild." Natsu said to the old man.
Makarov let out another sigh of frustration. 'This demon child it's not coming without a fight. I guess I would need Gildrats to go easy on him.' Thought Makarov.
"Gildrats would you please 'escort' child to the guild. Please go easy on him." The old man told Gildrats. The orange haired man nodded in understanding. He didn't like holding back or fighting children demon or not.
"Ok kid sorry but this might hurt a bit." The strongest Fairy tail mage said to the young Etherious.
'I really hate holding back. This amount of crash magic should incapacitated the kid.' Thought the ace of Fairy tail as he rushes towards him with a arm cloak in crash magic. Natsu sees him coming and smiles.
'They think that amount of crash magic can knock me out what idiots' the Etherious thought as Gildrats stuck his fist out to try and knock him out. Natsu quickly unstrap his Onslaught and cloak it with chaos magic. Both Gildrats crash fist and Natsu's chaos covered Onslaught clash canceled each other out leaving a small crater around them. Gildrats was surprised at this, he greatly underestimated Natsu.
'The child uses chaos magic and dark magic, what destructive power. We are only a few miles away from the town I hope this doesn't get out of hand. I guess bringing him back unharmed is out of the question. And when he said a fairy told him about the Lumen Histoire I sense a hint of true. We need to bring him back so I can get some answers.' Thought Makarov looking at Natsu who was a twisted smile on his face.
"I see you two underestimated me. I'm not a mere child or a mere demon, old man you wanted to know who I am right? Well I'll tell you I am the destroyer! Fire dragon: hell fire roar!" Yelled Natsu as blood red flames come out of his mouth like a laser aimed at Gildrats. The orange haired man placed his hand in the direction of the incoming fire, Natsu notices this.
'What the hell is he doing? He may be stronger then me but those flames can cause some damage.' Thought the Etherious. Then the flames hit Gildrats engulfing him quickly like a light match on oil. Natsu stood there looking carefully with a uncertainty in his face, then a second later the flames disappear with a undamaged Gildrats smiling.
"Wow kid those that fire sure are hot and your a dragon slayer wow you're full of surprises aren't. But you have to do better then that hehe." Laughed Gildrats
'Dragon slayer magic? Very impressive.' Thought Makarov.
"D-damn your crash magic can nullify all projectile. I've should know, I guess I have to do it the old fashion way." Said Natsu charging towards Gildrats with fire covering his fists trying to hit Gildrats. The man just kept dodging the blows quite easily.
'Damn why is he dodging me? It's like he's stalling, but for what? He can easily knock me out.' Thought Natsu as he kept his barrage of firing punches. He then notices Gildrats looking at the crater from their clash of attacks.
'I get now. Their trying to get me to use all of my magic energy so they can knock me when I'm drained. But there's also another reason the crater we made earlier was done by are magic clashing, crash magic is very destructive after all. That's it I know a way to escape.' Thought Natsu as he stop jumped away from Gildrats.
"Give up kid? There's no point for you to keep up with your attacks it's pointless. Let's just go back to the guild." Said Gildrats with a bored expression on his face.
"Like I said before I not going" Natsu said as rises his right hand and creates a air bubble. Both Makarov and Gildrats went wide eyed in surprised.
"Tremor magic: shockwave!" Natsu yelled as he punching the air around him causing cracks in the atmosphere and sending 4 giant shockwave at the direction of Magnolia. Gildrats sees the shockwaves coming rapidly.
'Damn the kid figured out the plan. Those shockwaves could causes major damage to the town of it hits. If I stop here it might just causes some harmless shaking.' Thought Gildrats as he rashes to the shockwaves before it could reach the town, he puts his arm out to stop it with his crash magic.
Makarov sees Natsu catching his breath. 'Those shockwaves seem to take a lot of him, here's my chance to knock him out.' Thought Makarov as he dashes towards Natsu, but the Etherious had already prepared for it.
"Dark Nebula!" Yelled Natsu as darkness blinded Makarov for a second time.
'Damn this child sure is persistent twice he's gotten me in this spell. I guess I have to do plan b.' Thought Makarov as he pulls out something out of his pocket.
Natsu feels Makarov presence everywhere, he only has one option left. He turns on his dark and chaos magic on at the same time and starts to combine it.
"This better wor-" Natsu couldn't finished his sentence as he felt a blast of light magic hit him on the right shoulder. Natsu shoulder twitches in pain.
"Graviton Wormhole!" Yelled Natsu as a dark portal with purple static opens and starts to swallowing the darkness from Natsu attack and Natsu himself leaving Makarov standing there like before with many more questions and no answers. He then feels a small earthquake, he turns to the direction of Magnolia.
"Thank god Gildrats stop it the shockwaves without causes major damage. Tremor magic and fire magic too eh? This boy truly is powerful I would hate to see what he would become if we let him loose with all that power and information of the Lumen Histoire." Said Makarov as Gildrats walked up to him. The old man turn to the younger man.
"Gildrats thank goodness you nullified those shockwaves."
"Yeah that kid sure is strong and smart. I assumed he escape." Said Gildrats.
"Yes he did. He placed dark spell that temporary blinded me and he escaped by combining his chaos and darkness magic, it seems that when he fused them together he somehow got gravity magic as a result of the fusion of magic and made a miniature black hole sucking him and his magic in the portal." Explained Makarov.
"I had no idea he could combined magic. That dark spell must have been quite strong if it was able to blind you." Said Gildrats.
"Yes but this isn't the first time I seen it, ive seen other mages uses a spell called dark moment but the spell he used are similar but his was more sinister the darkness is more I like a reflection of his aura, that boy is clearly a demon but seeing his power I fear he's a Etherious." Said Makarov. Gildrats looked at his guild master with the same level of concern on his face.
"You think he working with Tartaros or the Alverez empire?" Asked Gildrats.
"No I doubt he's working with the Alverez empire he would've had some back up. Tartaros is the most likely suspect but how would they know about the Lumen Histoire, also the child said that a fairy told him about the thing, I have the strangest feeling that he's telling the truth." Said Makarov as he starts to walk back to the guild with his trusted subordinate.
"You had the chance to kill the kid anytime you wanted. I know why but would you refresh my memory." Asked Gildrats.
"Because human or demon a child is still a child, I was going to use fairy law on him back in the guild but he escaped. I had a funny feeling about that child." Said Makarov.
"So should I go and find him and bring back to the guild? I mean he left with some valuable information. And make him a member right?" Said Gildrats.
"Yes you should go look for him and bring him back. But making a member I don't think so." Said Makarov making Gildrats raised a brow.
"What do you mean? I thought you want to make him a member." Said Gildrats in a confused manner to the tiny old man. Makarov gives him a smile as he put his hand into his pocket and took out a guild stamp. Gildrats confused expression turned into one off shocked.
"You mark the kid without him knowing. Hahaha how you pulled that off?" Laughed Gildrats.
"When he did the dark spell I shot the stamp with light beam attack that hit him in the shoulder. He thinks that was just a normal attack. When you find him the guild mark would bright up. But before you go out and look for him lets monitor him first and see if he belongs to a guild or working for someone." Said the tiny old man with mischievous smile on his face.
•with Natsu 250 miles away from the Magnolia•
A dark portal opens in the middle of a forest spitting Natsu out like flavorless gum to the dirty ground. Natsu opens his eyes and lays up looking around at his surroundings he sees a trees and the night sky.
"Where the fuck am I?" Asked Natsu to himself as he stands up he stumbles a little he then feels a wave a pain hit him on his right shoulder he looks at the wound left from the light attack from Makarov earlier. He starts to walk through the forest.
"Damn I escaped barely with the skin of my teeth from those two fairy tail mages, that old man is the master eh? Both could've killed me anytime they wanted, good thing we fought near their home town. Fuck my shoulder hurts and my magic is low those shockwaves and portal sure took a lot out of me. I need to find out where am I, and find that fairy spirit she got some explaining to do." Said Natsu as he slowly walks through the forest he eventually saw some sign of civilization in a form of a sign on the floor that read Welcome to Rosemary Village.
