"Human talking"

'Human thoughts'

"Demon talking"

'Demon thoughts'

Next morning at Fairytail

The doors of the guild hall open as Makarov enters the guild hall with a smile on face.

'I glad those assholes from the magic council are off my back. Now to see are newest member.' Thought Makarov as opens the door of guild infirmary where Natsu spent the night. Once he opens it he's see Natsu sitting on a chair with his Onslaught next to him all ready waiting for the tiny man.

"I see your up good morning Natsu. How do you sleep?" Asked Makarov to the young demon.

"Alright thanks for asking." Respond Natsu. Makarov wasn't sure if Natsu was sincere or was being sarcastic.

"Well that's good. Follow me to my office please." Said Makarov exiting the infirmary headed to his office Natsu stood up and hooked his Onslaught on his back and followed the old man.

Once they made it to his office Makarov told Natsu to take a seat and got straight to business.

"Ok Natsu in going to send you to take down this." Said Makarov as he takes out a photo of a dark odd looking skyscraper.

"This is the-"

"It's the R system" Natsu interrupted.

"Oh you've heard of it." Said Makarov impressed with Natsu knowledge.

'This boy keeps on surprising me' thought Makarov.

"Yah I've heard of but I don't know that much of it. What exactly is it?" Asked Natsu.

"With the information I we've gathered the R systems are giant skyscrapers that these cultists are planning to use to 'resurrect the black wizard Zeref'. They plan to use the tower as a sort vessel to bring him back with some sort of forbidden magic, we may be wrong but they need to be stop the magic council has gotten many reports of them burning down villages, slaughtering the adults and kidnapping children to work as slaves on their skyscraper. The magic council try to shut one down a few weeks ago, it did not go well the cultists killed the all the slaves and escape before the magic council rune Knights could even enter the tower . So Natsu your job is simple we have locations of 10 so far I want you to sneak in and shut all of them down and led the slaves to freedom. Explained Makarov as passes some papers with information of the R systems, instructions on what to do and maps to the locations from the magic council to Natsu.

"Here take these with you." Makarov gives Natsu a bag full of rainbow colored lacrimas.

"What hell are these?" Asked Natsu.

"These are short distance portals lacrimas these are for slaves to exit the towers quickly and safely in case there is fighting which most likely there gonna be, and this is a communication lacrima so we can stay in touch." Answered Makarov.

"Ok I got you anything else." Said Natsu calmly.

"You surprise me Natsu yesterday you wanted to kill me and Gildrats, and today your calm." Chuckle Makarov.

"Well ill be lying to you if I said I didn't expect to join your guild. I guess it can't be helped if I try to runaway you or Gildrats would destroy me and I'm not strong enough to fight you yet not to mention I gave you me word and regardless of me being well me when I give somebody my word I attended to keep my side of the bargain. So I'm gonna use to best out of this and have fun killing these so called 'evil mages'." Natsu said with a smile.

'He's obviously planning something, but he knows already the consequences.' Thought Makarov as he sees Natsu sitting comfortably on the chair.

"Now Natsu I would like to use this opportunity to get know you better Natsu. About a week ago you try to steal the Lumen Histoire and when I questioned you how did you know about it and the underground passage you answered 'a fairy told me' what did mean by it." Asked Makarov

"Exactly what I said a fairy came to me and told me about it." Answered Natsu.

'Maybe it was her...' Thought the old man.

"Did this fairy look like Mavis Vermillion?"

Asked the old man to the demon for which his just keep smiling inducting that is was. This shocked the old man.

"H-how she died long ago. Her body is incased in the Lumen Histoire."

"Don't know. But her astro spirit form appeared to me and told me about the giant lacrima."

"I see could explain how you knew how to unlock the seals and where was it at."

"I got a question. Do I have to associate myself with the rest of the guild members?"

"Well right now no. I'm planning to keep you a secret, hell in not even going to tell the magic council that your not human if they ask I'm going to say that you use take over magic and your always in your this form. That's what meant when I said your going to be free to roam around when I don't need you. Speaking of which I noticed that your weapon there has the Tartaros mark what can you tell me about that." Asked the old man, Natsu stop smiling and looked at Makarov with a dead serious expression.

'I guess I should tell him now I don't want to explain myself later on.' Thought Natsu

"One of my goals is to see Tartaros gone wiped off the face of the earth." Answered Natsu with his expression not changing.

"I see we have something in common. But I think if you where to face off with Tartaros you'll die. For sure I say in a few years you'll be strong enough. Now let's talk about your magic and appears. You used dragon slaying magic the other time so you have a lacrima in your body or did a dragon teach you or maybe both?" Asked Makarov. When Makarov mention a dragon teaching dragon slaying magic Natsu's expression change from one of serious to one of annoyance. Natsu took a deep breath.

"No the type dragon slayer magic is different from those of the first, second and third generation. I'm what you would call a zero generation dragon slayer." Answered Natsu.

"What do you mean by that I thought there where only first, second and third generation dragon slayers?"

"Instead of a lacrima getting infused in your body or being teach by those filthy flying lizards. A zero generation dragon slayer gets that type of magic by extracting DNA of a living dragon and applying that DNA on a flesh wound on your body, but it's not that simple the next step is forcing your own DNA to overwrite the dragons DNA it is a very extremely painful process if your body doesn't have the will or the strength the dragon's DNA will destroy your body completely but if you survive it you have the ability to use any type of dragon slaying magic, from the elements to even hand to hand types of magic like takeover and celestial spirit magic. But of course it has its side affects as you see." Natsu pointed to his purple scales on his face.

"I see dragon scales so the dragon you got the DNA from was a purple dragon. Well I never knew there was such a type of dragon slayer magic. How about those red flames marking on your face and the rest of your demonic feature?" Asked Makarov.

"I'm a Etherious like those from Tartaros. That's about it." Said Natsu.

"Ok how old are Natsu?"

" I'm 7 in human years." Answered Natsu.

Makarov looked at Natsu for a few seconds trying to process the answers Natsu give him and then looked at the clock it read 7:00 am.

"Well that enough for now. Alright Natsu I guess you should get going then I'll contact you in three days that will give enough time to be at your first location, remember if anyone asks you use takeover magic ok." Said Makarov standing up from his desk. Natsu nodded and put all the lacrimas and the papers in his pocket dimension where he keeps the rest of his belongs.

'Huh so you using the type of pocket magic to store things interesting.' Thought Makarov.

"I assume you know how to leave Magnolia without getting spotted?"

"Yah I know. I talk to you later old man." Said Natsu nodding to the old man he then jumps out of the window and disappears though the town. Makarov just look out of the window.

"Did you hear everything Gildrats?" Asked Makarov out loud and then Gildrats appears from the ceiling of Makarov office.

"Yeah I heard everything, that kid sure is a trip he's a Etherious that is a different type of dragon slayer that I never heard of, not to mention he got the information of the Lumen Histoire from first master Mavis herself and he's a seven year old. If he was lying he sure knows how to do it talk about a weird kid." Smiled Gildrats.

"You got that right. But how he spoke it was as if you he's way older when I asked him how old was he, he answered 7 in human years. I can't but help to think he answered all of my questions truthfully. Well at least we have a new member that came in a good time." Said Makarov.

"You know he said first master Mavis came to him in a astro spirit form and told him about the Lumen Histoire, is it possible that she planned this out I mean it's too coincidental that when the magic council asked for us for a powerful wizard that isn't known and who can do the killing and that whole mercenary stuff and then Natsu showed up and try to steal the Lumen Histoire I have feeling that even in death she looking out for her guild but hey that just a crazy I came up with." Said Gildrats. Makarov laughed at Gildrats crazy theory.

"Hahaha your right it is a crazy theory so crazy it may be true." Expressed the old man.

"Gildrats since Natsu join that means he's the 4 strongest member of the guild you know, third is Ivan, second is me and first of course is you. I said in a 5 years he'll be a strong as you and in possibly a year or two later he'll surpass you."said Makarov.

"Your right in a few years can't wait to see. Speaking of powerful wizards I convinced Ur to join the guild she and her kids are going to join in a week." Gildrats said.

"That's good news we can use a wizard like her can't wait to see what she has to bring to the table."

"Me too." Gildrats agreed with a prevented smile. Makarov just laughs at his subordinate antic.

"Now Gildrats it's time for me to explain your mission..." Said Makarov

With Natsu in the outskirts of Magnolia.

"I guess I can walk now. Damn what did I get myself into just a few days ago I was kicking the shit out of Deliora ass and now I'm some kind of errand boy great just fucken great." Exclaimed Natsu.

"Having a bad day?" Asked someone this made Natsu turn quickly his head to the voice to see Mavis sitting on a tree waving at him.

"You!" Natsu jumps at the spirit ready to attack only for the spirit to move away in time.

"Wow your child form is fast E.N.D." Said Mavis happily complimented but Natsu took that as taunting.

"Shut up your the reason why I'm in this mess!" Yelled Natsu.

"Oh yeah sorry about that but you have understand that a guild master has to do everything to protect and help their guild. Even if that means to trick the child reincarnation of the strongest Etherious that ever existed to try and steal one of the strongest magical item in earthland and have him get caught by two of the most powerful wizards on the continent and then force him to join are guild so he can take extremely dangerous missions that won't tarnished the guild name." Explained Mavis, Natsu just stared at her and sign.

"Trying to destroy you we be a waste of my time, I guess you got what you want see you later." Said Natsu as he starts to walk away.

"You know I didn't expect you to cooperate so easily with Makarov after you agreed to join the guild. I guess you really are a demon of your word." Said Mavis.

Natsu kept walking trying to ignore her. Mavis smiles even more she then continues.

"I wonder why you answer Makarov questions with the truth about your magic and what are you that surprised me. Well Natsu I'll see you later I going back to Tenrou Island. I'll try to visitor you and see your progress soon bye." Waved Mavis as she disappeared. Natsu just kept walking not even bothering to see Mavis waving at him bye.

"That fucken fairy she's enjoying this. She got good alright really good." Said Natsu to himself as he heads to location of the first R system.

As Natsu walks he enters a dark woods and disappears from sight a certain person is seen looking at him from a mountain top.

"I see Mavis tricked him into joining Fairytail, it's good to see him up and about. He wouldn't have survived if he goes solo. I hope you get stronger Natsu so you can be the king that you where destined to be and you can finally kill me." Said the black wizard with a smile.
