"Human talking"

'Human thoughts'

"Demon talking"

'Demon thoughts'

A few days later at Fairytail

Once Gildrats brought Natsu back to the guild hall from his fight with Deliora in Bargo the orange haired man was instructed by Makarov to wait until everyone left the guild hall at night and open the underground passage way where the Lumen Histoire is stored and chained up the demon in a chair that Makarov made to hold and keep in place for people like Natsu. Gildrats wrapped him in magic sealed chains and on top of that once Natsu was strapped on the chair many surveillance lacrimas appeared from the out of the air to monitor Natsu. This made Gildrats shake his head.

"Damn the master sure does know how to imprison people." Said Gildrats to himself. The orange haired man then notices Natsu Onslaught on the floor next to the demon.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot I took that with me. I can't believe this kid carries this thing on his back it must be a pain." Commented Gildrats as he picks up the weapon and takes a better look at it, he observes the weight, color, and the chain that was connected to it then he sees the upper part of the Onslaught and notices the Tartaros guild mark on it.

"Tartaros? Hmmm I guess master going have a million more questions to ask you." Said in a low voice to Natsu who unconscious.

Gildrats picks up the Onslaught and starts to walk upstairs, he stops all of a sudden when he hears light coughing, the s class wizard turns to see blood dripping from Natsu mouth and the demon started to regain consciousness, Gildrats walks to chained up demon was trying to figure out where he was.

"Y-you son of a bitch. Where am I? What are doing with my Onslaught? What do you do my powers? Answer me!" Yelled Natsu to Gildrats.

"Relax your at the Fairytail guild see there's the Lumen Histoire." Gildrats pointed to the giant lacrima that held Mavis's body. The demon moves with eyes slightly to confirm this and sees the lacrima.

"So you call it Onslaught that a pretty cool name for it, I was simply going to store it somewhere, and for your powers you are wrapped in magical sealed chains and sitting on a chair that was made to keep people in place sort of a humane version of a cell." Answered Gildrats with his signature goofy smile.

"Oh sorry for those punches I give you during the trip over here I guess I got a bit carried away. I didn't want you to move around it would have made my job easier." Added Gildrats. This made Natsu raise a brow. Then it hit Natsu he remembers regaining consciousness a couple times only for a sharp pain to appear then darkness.

'This motherfucker knocked me out every time I was about to wake up." Thought Natsu looking at the orange haired man.

"Say human are there other people that can use crash magic?" Asked Natsu to Gildrats who was surprised by the question seeing how he expected Natsu to stay quiet after the outburst.

"Others? I don't think so. What I know I'm the only person that can use it. Why you ask?" Replied the s class wizard. Natsu didn't answer he just stared at him with a semi angry look. Before Natsu can answer they both hear footsteps.

"Sorry to keep both of you waiting I was sleeping it is midnight." Said Makarov in his sleep attire.

"Oh master good evening I thought you were going to come in the morning." Greeted Gildrats.

"Hello Gildrats. I was going to come in the morning but this can't wait they need a answer." Said Makarov with a bit of bitterness in the end. Gildrats knew what he meant.

"So young man good evening. What is your name?" Asked Makarov to Natsu.

"Ain't none of your damn business." Answered Natsu with a smirk. Makarov looked at Natsu for a second.

"I guess I'll get straight to the point seeing how you seem like the type that won't give me answers until I give you some." The Fairytail guild master said.

"The reason I asked Gildrats to bring you back is for you to join are guild." Makarov said giving the young demon a dead serious look.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA you got to be fucking with me you want me to join your guild that's funny but seriously are going to do keep me? imprisoned or are you going to kill me?" Laughed Natsu.

"I'm quite serious so serious that if you don't join I will personally destroy you." Threaten Makarov as his eyes started to glow and his body started to grow like he was going turn into a monster. Natsu smile drop as he felt the magic power emitted from the old man.

'The old man is serious. I need more time to figure out how I'm going to escape. Wait earlier he said something about them that they need a answer that's why he came here to question me at this hour. Maybe...' Thought Natsu.

"Why should join your guild? Why would you want someone like me who sneaked into your guild hall and try to steal the Lumen Histoire? No no no something tells me that there's something else I highly doubt that you want me to join out of the goodness of your heart right?" Questioned Natsu to the old man who went back into his normal form.

"Very impressive but at first I did want you to join out of the goodness of my heart seeing how your just a child human or not but after you did in Rosemary village and the fight with Deliora it's obvious that your not a innocent child. I thought that you were some lost kid but your not. There's something sinister and twisted about you, it's almost evil. That being said there was no way I wanted to you to join the guild with the information you have and your unknown agenda. That makes you a dangerous element not fit to let roam free." Makarov explains while pacing back and forth.

"What happen in Rosemary village was the result of cultists that were kidnapping human children. That wasn't me." Clarified Natsu.

"I know but I'm talking about the cultists you killed. I would've done the same but the difference is that I'm a old man and you are a child that's what I'm getting at you are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. But going back to the reason why I want to join. There has been a rise of dark guilds and magic related crime so much that the Magic council can not afford to ignore them anymore. They have asked me to choose a wizard that can deal with them in taking down these dark guilds and reducing the magic crime rate."

"So you want to use me a your pawn to get rid of these 'unlawful wizards' and 'restore balance' is that it? What can't you send him or another of your subordinates ?" Natsu interrupted.

"I could send Gildrats but he's all ready scheduled to take other important jobs and currently right now I don't have anyone else to fit this position, that's where you come in young man, you may not be as strong as Gildrats but you are still young I would guess you would surpass Gildrats in a few short years. And I'm not I don't like using the word pawn you will be like hired mercenary for this. Your fight with Deliora is a obvious fact that you are not affiliated with Tartaros that makes you a perfect candidate for this position. Answered Makarov. Once Natsu heard this he started to laugh.

"Hahahaha you know what old man I like your style you're willing to let someone like me into your guild so you can use me to do your dirty work. Hahahaha that truly is funny and you said I was twisted." Natsu said joyfully.

"You may be right so in short I want you to join the guild to get rid of these dark guilds. So is that a yes or no? Remember if you say no I will obliterate you here and now." Natsu listened to this and begin to think.

'So if I answer no I dead. Im smart enough to know that I can't escape right now and if I say yes I become some pawn for this fucken old man it's better than being dead. He does have point though in five or six years I will surpass that guy Gildrats, maybe if I lie to him I could just escape it's not like I gonna give him my word or anything.' Thought Natsu.

"Old man if I join what's in it for me? If I say no you destroy me, but that you leave you a void for this assignment right?" Natsu asked.

"If you join I would let you roam free as you wish when I don't need you to do the missions of course, also I will need you keep your mouth shut about the Lumen Histoire and obey my ever command." Answered Makarov.

"Fine you got yourself a deal. Now let me go." Said Natsu agreeing to the terms.

"It's not that simple young man did you really think that I would let go with just a yes. I need you to give me your word." This made Natsu expression to chance from a grin to a frown.

"W-what?" Natsu asked confused.

"You heard me. I want you to give me your word. If try to escape we will find you and like I said before I will destroy you but I don't I have to worry about you, you may be loose cannon but I can sense some from of honor and integrity coming from you."

'D-damn this old man.' Thought Natsu, even though Natsu may be psychopath and a demon but even Etherious have some honor and integrity when it comes to giving their word.

"Fine I give my word on your conditions now can you let me go." Said Natsu with a hint of regret no want to summit like that. Makarov signal to Gildrats to unhook the magic chains and unlock Natsu from the chair. Makarov takes a sigh of relief.

'Thank go two bird and one stone. Now I have to report to those annoying crybabies in the magic council.' Thought Makarov as he sees Gildrats finishing unlocking Natsu.

"Hey old man I got a question." Natsu told the old man.

"It's Makarov Dreyar my name is Makarov so you can stop calling old man and what is your question?" Responded Makarov who was getting annoyed by Natsu calling him old man.

"Anyway old man I have a feeling that the missions you want me to do have to be under the radar, from the information I've gathered from what you said these jobs will involve blood and a lot of manipulation right?" Asked Natsu. Gildrats couldn't help but smile.

'Damn this kid is something else. I have to careful on what I said or not I might get outsmarted by him.' Thought the orange haired man.

"Yes the plan is to keep everything under wraps, only a handful of people will know. The reason is to not tarnished the name of this guild with allegations of unethical methods of dealing with these problems. Tell you the truth this guild is known to be a friendly peace loving magic guild that represents what a magic guild should be like but where there is light there is also darkness, you will the represent the dark side of this guild." Answered Makarov. Natsu satisfied with this answered decided to stop asking questions.

"If you want you can sleep in the guild infirmary there's a couple beds there, Gildrats would you show him. I will see you in the morning and I trust you won't try to steal the Lumen Histoire. Before I leave what is your name?" Asked Makarov with his back to Natsu and Gildrats.

"Natsu Dragnologia." Answered Natsu.

"Well welcome to Fairytail. Good night both of you." Makarov said as he started to exit the passage. Leaving both Natsu and Gildrats there.

"I want my Onslaught back." Demanded Natsu to Gildrats who nodded in agreement.

"Here you go." Said Gildrats as hands the giant weapon to the pink haired demon.

'I'll tell master about that Tartaros mark later on...' Thought Gildrats while looking at the Tartaros guild mark on Natsu's Onslaught.

"Come on kid I'll show you where your going to sleep for tonight." Said Gildrats as he leads Natsu out of the underground passage. Natsu turns to look at Lumen Histoire and sees the body of Mavis that's in cased in the giant lacrima.

'That fucken fairy I have a feeling that she set me up somehow. Damn her.' Thought young Etherious as he follows Gildrats.

A/N: I decided to Makarov a bit dark so it can make sense for Natsu join Fairytail.
