Chapter 4: Defeated by Transportation


"So, I have a mission for you. How do you feel about hot and cold weather?"


The mission debriefing didn't take long, but by the end, Natsu was ecstatic. Finally some action around here. Things at the Black Order were just too calm to be normal- by her standards that is. However, Natsu was beginning to assimilate into the Black Order, with baby steps. Natsu had made her mind up already, she was going to make new friends, start a new life with her as the star, a very pink star. The fire, that she missed so much, started to build up in the dragon slayer's stomach, so much so that she started to give off determination in waves.

She was pumped. That is, until she saw one of the demons from hell.

Boat (Noun)- An evil device that floats on water. Do not let the inviting wooden (or possibly other floorings) and glazed benches deceive you. The maker of these demons designed them to lure you in. In the Transportation Bingo Book for Dragons and Dragon Slayers has boats ranked as #4 most deadly contraption. Do not provoke. Alternate solution: Swim.

All of her determination was whisked away by the wind. The color had drained from her face, as well as the color from her hair and clothing. She looked nothing more than a white wall with a defeated look on its face.

Not noticing Natsu, the other exorcists (plus Bookman) boarded the small boat. They were about to set out when they noticed they were lacking one person. When they all looked back, they sweat dropped.

"Are you ok Natsu?" Lenalee asked.

"Boat.." Natsu mumbled, still white. "It moves… water… transportation…"

"Yes… Natsu this is a boat. Now come on we are going to be late for the train." That cracked Natsu even further.

Train (Noun)- A demon that moves on a track and can not be moved from said track unless another track intercepts it. Known though out the D&DS (Dragon and Dragon Slayer) society as the number one most deadly method of transportation. Created as a way to pinpoint the weaknesses in the D&DS and then use them to catch them off guard. This is known as the DEATH TRAP of D&DS society. AVOID. TURN BACK NOW. Transportation Bingo Book for Dragons and Dragon Slayers ranks it #1! Alternate solution: Running, flying, walking, etc.

"Guys I think we lost her." Lavi said while blinking at the odd scene before them.

"I understand now." Bookman said. "Dragons and Dragon Slayer's weaknesses are methods of transportation. Basically anything that was man made and moves. If there stuck on one, then they cant do anything to defend them selves. Dragons and Dragon Slayer's have the worst motion sickness in history." The explanation from the wise man just made their sweat drop bigger.

"She looks more like a puff ball then a Dragon." Lavi commented. After receiving strange looks from the others he explained, "I mean, she has pink spiky hair. Puff ball get it?"


By this time, they had given up on the cloaks. Honestly, they stood out more with them on. The four of them had found neutral looking clothes and wore hats. They really needed to stay low key, it was the only way this would work. But sadly, they were horribly lost. Erza and Lucy were fixated on asking for directions, but Grey wouldn't hear any of it.

"Geeze, what's it with guys and directions?" Lucy asked rhetorically. Erza 'hned' in agreement. Happy could honestly care less as long as he found fish. That would taste really good right now; a big fish! Oh, the Exceed could almost taste it now!

"Fine! I admit it! We're lost." Grey said with an exasperated sigh.

"Thank you! Now, lets go ask the vendor over there for directions." Lucy skipped over to the kiosk. The rest of the group followed, Grey a bit more sluggishly than the others. "Hello! Me and my friends are kind of lost. Do you think you could help us?" The man chuckled.

"Sure, where are you headed?" He asked.

"The European division of the Black Order!" Lucy chirped happily. The man stared back blankly at them.

"I'm sorry, but my mind seams to be drawing a blank. What do they do exactly? I might be able to remember."

"They are an organization of exorcists who fight Akuma." Erza added, answering the man's question.

"Young ones, always making things up." He muttered dryly to himself. "Sorry, but Akuma and exorcists don't exist." The old man said with a laugh. The remaining members of Team Natsu stared at each other. Not a second later they were huddled in a corner on the side of the street.

"Are you sure Igneel sent us to the right world? From how he talked about it, the Black Order seemed to be common knowledge." Grey said in a whisper.

"No, I'm positive this is the right world. Do you think that the Dragon that manages the different worlds would mess up on something like this? Especially when it concerns his daughter?" Erza said, adding in her two cents.

"Does this mean that they have super mutant fish on this world?" Happy remarked with a dreamy expression on his face.

"No Happy! The fish here are normal! You already asked Igneel this!" Lucy exclaimed while crossing her arms.

"N-no special f-fish?" Happy said with watery eyes.

"No special fish Happy. You should also stop talking, being a blue cat already draws enough attention." Lucy said.

"Back on topic please! So how are…"


Allen dragged Natsu off the train. The ride hadn't been pleasant. Natsu was already suffering from motion sickness the second she (unwillingly) stepped on the train. It went down hill from there. Allen ended up having to knock out the girl and let Natsu sleep on his shoulder. In all other situations, he would have enjoyed it. But of course, Lavi had to bore him to death with stories. None of which had any point or substantial content. He was eventually lulled to sleep. During this time, however, Lavi thought it would be a great idea to draw on Allen's face.

So when he woke, Allen had marker all over his face and a motion sick/ knocked out Natsu sleeping on his shoulder. Great. But of course, it had to get worse. Because something broke inside of him when he heard Natsu mumble something in her sleep.

"Grey."

The first thing he thought was that she was dreaming about colors, a dream that seemed highly plausible for the girl. But his suspicions were denied.

"Grey, Erza, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, old man, and every one at Fairy Tail, I'm sorry I left you with out saying good bye."

Grey happened to be the name of a person, as well as the other people that she listed. Was she dreaming about her past? She didn't say good bye… What did she do to cause herself to leave? These were some of the questions that started to race through his mind.

She said that we were going to be partners, he wondered, but what exactly did that mean? I'll ask her once we get off. Perhaps about her past as well, if she feels up to it. I won't force her into anything.

And now here he is, dragging the pink haired girl off the train. Not a minute after Allen was completely off the train, Natsu came back to life. She started to stretch then looked back at the death contraption (Train), continuing to put her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from barfing.

The snow storm stated to pick up. Huh I didn't even notice it was snowing. Natsu thought absentmindedly as the train pulled out of the station. The cold never really bothered her; she was too warm to notice most of the time. The dragon slayer hadn't even bothered to dress properly for the snow. Instead, she just went with her normal outfit, which of course commended her to receiving many incredulous stares from passer byes. Even her team mates (Natsu considered them her team for the mission, but didn't think of them like Team Natsu.) had pointed out to Natsu her choice of dress. The pinkette would simply wave them off, reassuring them that she was fine.

The finder that was assigned to their mission's name was Michael. From what Natsu could see, he looked to be a man in his mid thirties. He wore the same finder garb that all of the others wore. He also had that giant box on his back.

"Are you going to search?" Allen asked Kanda.

"Of course I'm going to search. That is why we're here isn't it?" He replied before stalking off into the snow. "You know, why don't you just stay here and build a snow man?"

"Hold on!" Allen said. He rounded up the rest of his team and set out after Kanda.


They had been traveling in the blizzard for some time now, each of them freezing, save Natsu. In fact, she was having a good time.

"This is going to be one of those stories where we all freeze to death and they don't find our bodies until the snow melts in the spring!" Lavi yelled as he dropped to his knees.

"Huh, if I had known you were that cold I would have helped you sooner! Sorry Lavi!" Natsu said as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"You mean your NOT cold? Your practically not wearing anything!" He retorted with disbelief.

"Lavi, I'm the only daughter of the Fire dragon, Igneel. I literally have fire in my body at all times. It practically runs through my blood." The dragon slayer deadpanned. "On top of that I can create fire from thin air and emit it from any spot on my body. My fire is also hotter than any fire, ever, seeing as its dragon made fire. I don't think I mind the cold, heck I don't even feel it!" She reached down and pulled Lavi into an embrace. The read head was almost instantly warmed. She was like a second sun!

"Freeze to death, kind of like these people?" Kanda asked. The group followed his eyes to a young girl and a relatively older man that were lying face first in the snow. Seeing this, Natsu left Lavi (who proceeded to whine because he was cold again.) and went over to the two travelers. The dragon slayer picked up the two and slung them over her shoulders, in hopes of warming them faster.

"Are you alright?" Natsu asked in a completely serious tone that surprised her team.

"Is my father ok?" The girl replied, slightly jumbling the words.

"He's fine." Natsu almost immediately replied. "He's on my other shoulder."

"We should carry them to shelter." Bookman's wise voice interjected.

"We're staying at a near by inn." The young girl said.

"Don't worry, we'll take you there." Natsu replied.

"Then I'll keep going, I'm quite sure they don't need all five of us to rescue them from some snow." Kanda spat already starting to walk off.

"I'll go as well." The finder said rising to his knees.

Natsu lightly put the two travelers down and started to shake with anger. How could Kanda just brush off these people's lives like that? And then joke in a demeaning way about it? Did he not value other's lives? Were they nothing but pieces of dirt to him? How- HOW COULD HE? She cracked. Her eyes darted to find Kanda, her eyes full with anger and hate. When she found him, the dragon slayer charged at unimaginable speeds with one thought in mind, he was never going to treat another's life like that again!


I will most likely be updating the story weakly, but if I get over 15 reviews for the chapter I'll update this weekend.

Some people asked if they can vote twice: Yes you can. ONE vote PER review. So if you review more twice, then you can cast two votes (but you have to clearly state which pairing you want for it to count as a vote.).

So far the pairing count is at:

NatsuxGrey- 17

NatsuxAllen- 6

ErzaxKanda- 4

The 'Natsu's Relatively Accurate Dictionary', that kind of wrote itself. I had always wondered what was going through Natsu's mind when ever he saw a method of transportation.

If you have an entry for a kind of transportation that you would like me to include please leave it in your review! It should look like this:
