I'm really glad i didnt accidentally give anything away because if I did I would have had to rewright this entire thing almost. Also, this is a flashback. Lots of dialogue, Gray being weird, Erza being a rag doll, Gildarts being a smart-ass. Stuff like that. Anyways, today is my birthday and when I posted the first chapter I knew I wanted to update on my birthday.
Chapter 5
•
"Make sure nobody listens in on this conversation. Really just beat the hell out of anybody who comes within 20 feet of the door."
"You got it chief."
Natsu followed Makarov into his office. The office was filled with posters of swimsuit models and documents. Makarov led him to the other side of the desk
"Natsu, do you know what this place is?"
"Yeah. I've been there before. It was a ton of fun." He said with a sadistic smile
"Define fun, would you please."
"Enough fun to destroy the entire town." He said, never breaking the sadistic smile on his face
"Were you the one who killed everyone in the town?" Makarov asked with an exceedingly serious smile on his face
"That would be me alright."
No sooner had Natsu said those words was he slapped so hard he fell over
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN THAT TOWN?!" Makarov screamed. It was loud enough to render the door useless
"Over 600,000 people. I did pretty good if I do say so myself." Natsu said proudly
He was slapped again even harder. Makarov was very clearly angry. Steaming mad. Literally.
"How. How did you do it? How long did it take?" He said on the brink of tears
Natsu tapped his head "Well it took me about three seconds to chant. Subtract that time from how long it took me... I'd say about four tenths of a second."
"Boy, would you do me a favor."
"Depends."
"Would you slap me across the face onc-"
He was sent flying through the wall into the infirmary
"Well. It's too bad this isn't a dream. Let's go introduce you as a new member."
"Why would you let me join if what I did was Apparently so wrong?"
"Natsu." Makarov sighed "It's because what you did was so wrong that you must join the guild. Don't hesitate to try to make friends in this guild. Now let's go."
Gildarts banged on the door "hey are you guys okay in there? I heard some crashing and the walls by the infirmary were smashed."
"Everybody listen up! I will not announce this until every member of the guild is here. Until this announcement, no one will be allowed to take jobs. Does everyone understand?"
The guild had muffled sighs and others were bellyaching about having rent to pay for
"Natsu, do you use any magic other than THAT magic?" Makarov said
"Fire dragon slayer magic. But it's weak as shit. I couldn't even take down the second tallest tree on Tenroujima with it." Natsu replied
"Demonstrate weak, would you Natsu?"
"I don't have a target."
"I can fix that. Erza!"
A red haired girl walked up to the front
"You called?"
"Would you mind letting Natsu punch you once?"
"Sure. I don't see what this little shorty could do anyway. Alright. Come on kid."
"Natsu, if you use that magic, I will kill you myself. Do you understand?" Makarov said into his ear
"If I used that magic, everyone in this town would die. Including you." Natsu whispered back
"Noted. Now. Punch Erza once."
"Alright. FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"
Natsu punched Erza in the stomach once, sending her through a line of people and leaving a gaping rip where they were forcefully launched through the walls
"Damn that was weak. I could have sent them all the way across town if I used my other magic."
A girl in white hair stepped towards Natsu
"Excuse me but you keep going on about a magic that you are referring to as 'that.' Would you mind telling us what it is? And my name is Lisanna by the way."
"What's it to you?" He asked in a hateful tone
"Lisanna, I will tell the entire guild what his magic is when they all get home. In the mean time, Natsu why don't you go and at least appear to try to make friends?"
"Why should I? If I get worked up they'll all die anyway."
Lisanna began to speak when Erza crawled through the door
"Kid. Antsy. Whatever your name is. I'm going to fight you. This time. I'm prepared." The scarlet haired girl proclaimed
"Okay. 1. My name is Natsu. 2. I was using my weak form of magic, an 3. For your size an structure I could have sent you back to the mountains if I wanted to. However that would have killed you and the geezer said he would strangle me if I killed anyone."
Erza stood up
"I. Don't. Care. What your name is." She said as she coughed blood "You can't. Have more than one type of magic." She said coughing up more blood "and finally, you are bluffing."
"Am I now?" He said releasing a dark aura making everyone freeze in terror.
In the back, stripper recovered and yelled "HEY DUMBASS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU JUST LEVELED 15 PEOPLE WITH ONE PUNCH! I DON'T THINK GILDARTS CAN DO THAT!"
"Yes I can."
Natsu glared at him "Hey, stripper. What's your name?"
Gray was paralyzed with fear but knew how to put up a front "w-whats it to you?"
"Put simply, if you don't answer me," Natsu had a psychotic smile "you're next."
"MY NAME IS GRAY! PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, eh. Um..." Gray bowed down at Natsu's feet "Senpai."
Natsu said nothing as he turned around an walked to a booth in the corner "We're done here. Everyone carry on."
As Natsu said that, another white haired girl came up to him
"Hello, Natsu. My name is Mirajane. While I'm here I work at the bar. Would you like something to drink?"
"Give me a-"
"You think you can disregard my promise earlier?" A scarlet haired girl came up
"Go to the infirmary. Or not. I don't care what the hell you do just go away."
Erza punched Natsu as hard as she could
"Hey, Mirajane, could I get a bagel and apple juice please?"
"Sure. But... Call me Mira if you would like." She said with a nervous smile thinking 'He just got punched in the face by ERZA. AND HE DIDNT EVEN FLINCH!'
"NATSU-SENPAI!"
"Gray. I'm not your senior. I don't want to be."
"But I want you to-"
"Get away from me. ALL OF YOU! I'm about to lose it. And if I lose it... Well lets just say that its bad for everybody."
Erza responded with a kick to the face, which did nothing but move his head backwards about two inches
"I said GET THE FUCKING FUCK AWAY FROM ME!"
As Natsu yelled, he felt everything go black
"FUCK! IF I WASN'T ALLOWED TO KILL YOU I ALREADY WOULD HAVE BUT I NEED TO GET MY ASS AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE! I DONT WANT TO KILL ANYBODY AT THE MOMENT!" He yelled as he jumped through the back wall and into the forest
Natsu ran as far as he could before he couldn't stand holding it in any longer. As he relaxed, everything around him went quiet. Not a peaceful quiet, but a rather familiar quiet. Well. Familiar to him.
Natsu opened his eyes to see nothing but the remains of whatever living thing was in the area. He heard rustling in the distance, but he knew what it was. 4 pairs of heavy footsteps running in his direction
"Well. No use trying to hide it." He said as he sit down "they'll see it anyway."
