Okay back to this story again, nothing much else to say other than I'm going to be focusing on two or three of my stories before updating the others some might will not follow canon like I planned so I can finish them up. My Natsu x Ur story should rap up in a couple of chapters and My Demons will not be as long as I expected it to be so more like a multi chapter one shot. I'm estimating it will be at least 5-7 chapters long due to a few time skips I have planned, at most I'd be expecting 7-10 chapters which would put the story at 30k in terms of length. Reason why I'm shortening these stories simple really I have too many ideas for stories and not enough time to right them up so by completing a few of my already existing stories it creates more time for me to write but don't worry I'll still keep up the quality of my stories anyway hope you enjoy this chapter.
"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH"
After a few moments the light died down revealing a world the group never even knew existed, all around was a world of different colours, floating islands, Skywards Rivers and giant colourful mushrooms that stuck out like sore thumbs protruding from the islands.
"Woah!" The group exclaimed simultaneously before signalling their flying cats to touch down on one of the floating islands. "This place is amazing I've never seen anything like" Wendy exclaimed in awe as she took in the colour sights around her, Natsu while initial impressed had a different opinion of the new world. In his own opinion it appeared as though a rainbow had puked over the place with all the different multiple coloured plants.
"Don't forget why we are here Wendy, we gotta take down this king down" Natsu said with determination that could be considered the edge of rage. Wendy nodded to show she understood the seriousness of the situation. "Okay let's go, maybe we'll be able to smell the others and that'll lead us to the lacrima." Natsu said with hope in his voice although he knew it was a long short he didn't have any better ideas at the moment.
The two began walking and searching around for about an hour when they finally came across some people who they called out to. "Hey, hey can you point us to the royal city?" Natsu half shouted half asked the pair in front of them who only looked at him with strange looks but before they could respond their eyes came across Happy and Charla which terrified them so much so that they fled from sight leaving our group behind them in their wake and with rather confused looks on their faces. "What do you suppose that is all about?" Wendy asked her feline companion, "I don't know child, it appeared as soon as they saw myself and Happy they grew frightened but its best to forget about it for now" Charla replied before the group continued their trek.
After another hour and several scared people later our group was no better off in their search for their guild mates… well that was until Natsu and Wendy caught a few slightly familiar yet different scents. "Hey you smell that?" Natsu asked excitedly while Wendy just nodded before the pair took off on their own leaving their retrospective partners behind them. "Wait up Natsu!" Happy shouted before himself and Carla used their magic to sprout wings and fly after them.
"The scent is getting stronger it just straight ahead Natsu" Wendy said with joy as the pair continued there sprint and it looked like they weren't going to stop. That is until the realised something, something very import, there was no longer any ground beneath their feet causing the pair to plummet towards the ground Luckily Carla caught Wendy although the same couldn't be said about Natsu who I guess you could say was lucky enough to crash through a straw roof….and then into a concrete floor.
"…Ow…"
"Natsu are you alright?" Wendy asked with worry as her idol and hero slightly twitched before his own feline partner flew down in front of him begging his forgiveness, "I'm sorry Natsu I wanted to catch you but then I saw a yummy fish" Happy replied causing the group to simultaneously "Really" the group thought before Natsu stood up and made his way over to a few crates full of clothe that he started rummaging through it before pulling something.
"Here Wendy this looks like it would suite you" Natsu said before tossing Wendy a red blazer, navy skirt, white shirt and black tights. "W-what are saying?" Wendy stuttered out obviously thinking Natsu was implying something when he said it. "Well I just thought it would look cute on you" Natsu responded plainly not able to understand why the sky dragonslayer was acting like she was, however Wendy was even further embarrassed after he said this and it was completely visible in her reddened cheeks to all except the fire breather in the group.
Quickly snatching the clothes from him she puffed out her cheeks before saying "Just don't look okay." Complying with her wish Natsu took some clothes for himself before walking over to the window of the room they were currently in while Wendy remained in the back. "What…?" Natsu said to no one in particular when he saw something impossible. "Natsu you can look now" Wendy said shyly as she stood out from where she was. "Natsu?" She asked seeing the dragonslayer remain unresponsive.
"…It's Fairytail" he replied simply before he began into a full sprint along with the bluenette after seeing the banner with their guild insignia, while the building may have changed the guild's emblem was exactly the same and always would be. The building looked like a large tree now but by no means did that deter them from charging towards it. Slowly they opened the door and entered, surprisingly nobody noticed them and it appeared that today was just like any other day in the guild. However a few of the things captured Natsu's attention, things that were very different. One was that apart from his group there was no magic power present in the guild but he shrugged that one off due to the fact that you couldn't use magic in Edolas unless you had eaten an X-ball. The second one was that some of the people looked different…scratch that a lot different, well that was Natsu's thought when he saw a bluenette who had a striking resemblance to Wendy except much more curvy and most likely in her late teens but he chose not to point that out to the young dragonslayer as he knew she was very insecure about her looks…I mean who wouldn't be with girls like Mirajane and Erza in the guild.
Anyway the last and most noticeable thing was that there were a lot of members he didn't recognise and there were others missing, where was Erza, Gramps, Gajeel and Gildarts but most importantly where was Mashiro. "I don't think this is our Fairytail Natsu spoke gaining a confused look from Wendy and Happy but an understanding one from Charla who was obviously thinking along the same lines as the pyro.
"What do you think you're doing?" a familiar feminine voice asked causing the group to turn their attention to very gothic and intimidating Lucy. "What the absolute fuck" the group simultaneously thought well except for innocent little Wendy who though more along the lines of "what going on." "Natsu? Is that you…?"
"Why didn't you say so you big dummy!" Lucy shouted out while giving the dragonslayer a bone crushing hug, "I was so worried about you" she added on as the hug turned into a gentler one. Natsu didn't know what to think, sure the Lucy he knew was very clingy and annoying at times she was never this clingy and didn't have that sort of intimidating air to her not that it bothered the dragonslayer after all he had to deal with people like Mirajane on nearly a daily basis. "EH…I'm sorry?" he replied in a confused matter that sound more like a question than a genuine response.
"Dame Right you're sorry, what if the fairy hunter got you!" She shouted at the dragonslayer before putting him into one of her submission holds. While she kept changing into different holds Natsu seemed unfazed by the bone breaking force she was applying and before she could switch to the next one for the guilds further amusement Natsu just grabbed her hand and flung her off him but not hard enough that he would actually injure her.
"Sorry but I don't have time to play around" Natsu said coldly which made most of the members flinch and shock them even further, they never would have thought that Natsu would grow a pair and actual talk back to Lucy nor could they even think that the resident pinkette could say something in such a cold tone. "Oh tough guy act we'll see how you are after…" "Stop this right now, Lucy are you bullying Natsu again?" A feminine voice asked.
Time seemed to slow down for the dragonslayer as he heard that voice, that voice which was so familiar but so impossible Locating the source of the voice Natsu's eyes widened as her saw her standing in front of him "…Lisanna…" he spoke in a barely audible voice that sounded like it was breaking at every syllable. Tears began to well up in not only his eyes but Happy's as well, after all Lisanna was basically his mother and he was affected by her death almost as bad as Natsu yet here she was standing before them in the picture of health.
All the memories he had with Lisanna good and bad flooded back into the dragonslayers mind as he just stared at Lisanna who reprimanding a few of the guild members. Every second he spent staring at here felt like hours and as the object of his thoughts felt someone's gaze on her she turned to see Natsu with tears flowing down his face which puzzled her because while would have expected this from her Natsu the Natsu she knew now wasn't even close to her, they may talked a few times but that was it as it was clear that the objects of Natsu's affection was Lucy.
"…I finally found you…" Natsu whispered to himself so low that no one would here it but Lisanna manged to hear it thanks to her heightened senses and instantly knew what those words meant but before she could process what was happening she was tackled to the ground by Natsu much to everyone's surprise and Lucy's horror as she was thinking along the lines of "Aw hell no bitch."
"I found you, I actually found you" Natsu said as tears of joy rolled down his face as he went to bring her into a tight embrace, but before he could a certain blonde decided to drop kick him in the face causing him to stumble back onto the floor clutching his face in mild discomfort. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Lucy shouted at the dragonslayer while a crowd had gathered round Natsu separating him from Lisanna.
Too overwhelmed by what had happened she needed to get out of there Lisanna made a break for the back where she finally broke down, she knew that this was her Natsu but she had resigned herself to life here in Edolas with her Edolas family after the loss they experienced she couldn't let them feel that again. Even if this was her Natsu she couldn't just leave her family and as much as it pained her to do this to Natsu and her real family. However he leaving didn't go unnoticed by the azure dragonslayer and he had a guess as to why she ran off crying.
As the crowd was gathered around Natsu berating him for such intimated contact with 'someone he barely knew' they didn't notice the panicked form of Nab entering the room. "THE FAIRY HUNTER IS COMING!" he shouted out in fear causing the room to break out in panic leaving Natsu, Wendy, Charla and Happy very confused. "I don't get it what going on?" Wendy asked, "Jeez are you clueless, I don't know where you're from but we're Fairytail the most wanted dark guild in the kingdom" someone spoke causing Wendy's eyes to widen, "m…ME!" Wendy shouted out in disbelief upon seeing the source of the voice seeing that she looked like a more curvaceous and slightly older version of herself.
"Hurry up and get that teleporter up and running techno geek! Erza will be here any second now!" Lucy shouted towards a Levy who was tinkering away at some mechanical device, "It'd be able to if you'd shut up you fat cow!" Levy retorted while still messing away at the mechanics, "Erza is our enemy well why didn't you say so, how long do you need?" Natsu asked while everybody just gave him incredulous looks as if to say he was mad. Well almost everyone Lisanna, Wendy, Happy even Charla smiled because they all knew that in a fight between Natsu and Erza the dragonslayer would always come out on top.
"Are you insane you can't fight her?" Lucy shouted back at Natsu who just walked out of the building before she could stop him, "Dammit we have no choice I won't be able to fix the circuit in time so it's up to him to give enough time for me to fix them" Levy explained while Lucy just looked on in horror as her love interest went to embrace death itself. "Look I don't know who you think I am but I'm not him" Natsu explained not taking his eye off a quickly approaching blue blob in the sky that when he used his heightened vision was able to make out a shape similar to what he would say was a small dragon.
As the small dragon creature drew closer Natsu could actual see that it was about the same size as a wyvern and could see the unmistakable sight of scarlet hair flowing in the wind. "DRAGION!" was all Natsu heard as the beast came to a flying halt about 20 metres away from him and he could see that his opponent was clearly Erza the only difference was her attire. "When did you grow a pair Dragion?" Erza asked sarcastically as she readied her spear leaping at her target ready to effortlessly take his life and everyone watched as time yet again that day slowed down for them as they watched Natsu stand motionless waiting for Erza to inch closer and closer to him.
What happened next surprised and shocked everyone even the group who knew what Natsu was really capable of but none so were more shocked than Erza herself, "WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!" Natsu shouted out as he moved faster than the eye could follow grabbed Erza by the face and slammed her into the ground creating a small crater underneath her. "…." A long pause ensued after as the bystanders couldn't even form words until Lisanna spoke up rather fearfully not because she was scared of Natsu but he said my daughter and last she checked she didn't have a kid before being transported to Edolas which lead her to worry that Natsu may have hooked up with one of the other girls in Earthland and right away she suspected her sister as she was unaware of her attraction towards a certain lightning mage.
"W-what do you mean daughter?" Lisanna asked in a voice you could call a mix between fear, anger and jealousy. Hearing the mix of Emotions in her voice Natsu was now 100% sure this was his Lisanna "don't worry Liz it isn't what it sounds like" Natsu said in a rare cheery tone but using his momentary distraction Erza managed to loosen his grip on her before creating some distance between them revealing a look of pure unadulterated hatred on her face "WHO THE FUCK ARE?" she asked with a mixture of venom and anger to which Natsu just smirked.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, and I'm a Fairytail wizard!" Natsu shouted in response as light and dark blue flames cloaked his entire form shocking the spectators (bar those who already knew of his magic) however Erza just smirked sadistically "I see, well I am Erza Knightwalker and you must be one of the dragonslayers left behind in Earthland" she replied causing Natsu to narrow his eyes at Knightwalker while the members of the Edolas Fairytail stared in confusion at the mention of wizards, dragonslayer and Earthland from within the safety of their guild hall.
"Get him!" Knightwalker ordered the dragon like creature which obediently did so and charged towards Natsu who just inhaled the flames surround him before unleashing them in a devastating attack "Azure Dragon's Roar!" Natsu yelled out as the blue flames barrelled towards the creature exploding in its face resulting in the creature becoming knocked out and slightly charred.
"What he took out the legion in one attack" Knightwalker shouted out in disbelief before gritting her teeth in irritation "So this is the power of a dragonslayer" she thought to herself and as if reading her thoughts Natsu ground before saying "You ain't seen nothing yet" but before Natsu could get into a fighting stance he heard Levy shout out to him "Okay it's working, now get your ass in here before it's too late!"
"Tch, just when things were getting good" Natsu said before making a brake for the guild, "You're not getting away!" Knightwalker shouted in anger as she charged at the dragonslayer with insane speed but before she could strike him Natsu swiftly turned on his heel and arced his arm back calling out "Azure Dragon's Devastating Fist!" with his fist clad in a monstrous amount dark blue and icy blue flames Natsu slams his fist into the ground creating a shockwave that knocks Knightwalker back a few metres while at the same time creates a cloud of smoke obscuring her vision allowing Natsu to get back to the guild before it teleports away.
After the smoke clears Knightwalker clenches her spear in anger after being humiliated like that but at the same time in anticipation that she finally found someone that was actually strong enough to injure her. "Those fairies sure are a resourceful bunch, to think they'd stoop to such cowardly to escape us" a not so masculine voice said from behind Knightwalker prompting her to turn around.
"Sugarboy it's only you" Knightwalker replied to the now known Sugarboy "Hmmm, so the dragonslayers from Earthland have finally arrived, I see now why you had such a tough time with him, he must be Dragion's counterpart in Earthland." Sugarboy said earning a growl from Knightwalker "Next time he won't be so lucky" she replied in anger while thinking "Your mine Dragneel."
Meanwhile in a desert region in Edolas
"Ugh…bluh…man that sucked why didn't anyone tell me this thing was a vehicle?" Natsu complained as everyone was starting to come back around from the effects of the teleportation but before Natsu could fully recover he found himself thrown up against the wall by Jet, "Okay who the fuck are y…ugh!" Jet started before he dropped Natsu and grunted in pain clutching his face as a result of a well planted head-butt to the face from said dragonslayer.
"Okay one I don't like being manhandled, and two I already told you I wasn't who you thought I was. I'm a wizard from Earthland a different world from Edolas where there is an unlimited supply of magic, we came to Edolas in order to save the rest of our guild mates from Earthland's Fairytail that were absorbed into Edolas so the King could turn them into a Lacrima to refuel the magic resources for the Kingdom." Natsu said in a serious tone as he and his group began to walk away from the guild before Natsu stopped to turn around to look at Lisanna with a sad expression on his face who noticed the look and caused her to frown herself.
"Wait! Where do you think you going?" Lucy shouted out, "To the capital, if our friends are anywhere it's there…bye Lisanna" Natsu said sternly before walking away whispering the last part so that only dragonslayer hearing could have picked it up. "You can't be serious, you're strong but the two of you can't seriously think you can take the entire royal army by yourselves?!" The Edolas Wendy shouted at the group. "Maybe we can, maybe we can't but I sure as hell ain't gonna let them be sacrificed for some asshole king's selfish gain." Natsu said before he broke out into a sprint leaving the Edolas Fairytail members.
Several hours later
After many hours of walking the group came across a village where by sheer chance they found their Lucy but she was having trouble with the royal guard but that was soon dealt with and the guards were dispatched by one azure dragon and one sky dragon. After which Lucy explained how she got here thanks to Mystogan before she started getting really clingy like usual rambling on about how Natsu was her hero but unlike previous times when she got like this he pushed her away and said "Look Lucy I don't know what you think is ever going to happen but it isn't." After that Lucy never said a word and rather unresponsive for the rest of their travels.
"Hey Natsu can you hear something?" Wendy asked as she came to a halt causing the others in the group to do the same. Concentrating on his hearing Natsu began listening and sure as hell he could hear what sounded like rumbling, looking in the direction of the sound widened his eyes as all he was able to see was a massive dust cloud heading towards them. "What the hell is that?" Natsu asked no one in particular as he pointed to the massive dust cloud causing Happy to panic, "Wah! I don't know but I don't wanna stick around to find out!" Happy cried out in a panicked voice as he tried to make a break for it but was caught by his tail by Natsu who just stood his ground narrowing his eyes at the dust cloud.
"Eh Natsu don't you think we should be running, I mean what if it's the enemy?" Charla asked slightly panicking now as well, "And what if it is Carla? Natsu s obviously stronger than anything here as long as he has his magic" Wendy said happily with admiration for her brother figure. As the cloud drew closer Natsu and Wendy could now see the cause of the dust cloud, it appeared to be some sort of vehicle with fire erupting out from behind it.
As the vehicle pulled to a stop right beside the group the window of the vehicle to reveal something shocked the group and the owner. Behind the wheel of a vehicle was…Natsu? "Who the hell are you?" both Natsu's shouted at each other, "Wait how the hell are you able to drive a vehicle?" Natsu then shouted to his other self just realising that he wasn't motion sick. (Lucky bastard) "Never mind get in, Lucy told me about your circumstances. I can take you guys most of the way to the capital but I won't take you all of the way. By the way name's Dragion, Natsu Dragion." Dragion said with a confident smirk before the got in with Natsu reluctantly complying.
Yet again several hours later
After a few hours of travel and much insulting of how pathetic Natsu was from Dragion the group came to a stop overlooking a medium sized village not far from what they assumed was the kingdom capital. "I'd stick around but I don't want to get caught, see you losers later" Dragion said as he was about to take off but Natsu had other ideas "Out of the car, now!" Natsu growled as he dragged his fellow pinkette out of the vehicle and what happened next puzzled everyone "Please don't hurt me I'll do anything you want oh please just spare me." Dragion pleaded his confidence disappearing faster than Gray's clothes. (Such an overused joke)
"God I you thought I was pathetic, heh don't worry I ain't gonna hurt you I just wanted to say thanks for the help….and if you want Lucy to like you drop the cocky attitude" Natsu said placing an arm over his shoulder whispering the last part so only Dragion could hear causing said pinkette to turn a deep crimson colour. But before he could ask how he knew Natsu was already walking away with his group heading for the village down below.
"Hey Natsu" Lucy finally spoke up after remaining silent for hours, "Yeah" he replied in neutral tone. "I'm sorry for how I've been acting, it's just I've always wanted to join Fairytail after a member saved me when I was younger so I made sure to always read articles about it in magazines and after reading so much about you I wanted to meet you more than anything. I had no idea who you were or how to talk to you and when you recued me from phantom I just kind of feel for you. After hearing about Lisanna and how it affected you I thought that I had to repay you and everything you'd done for me by helping you get over it" Lucy spoke in a sad tone which the dragonslayer understood.
"Thought that might have had something to do with it. I understand why you did what you did but to me it just sounds like you were trying to force yourself upon, just because I saved your life a couple of times doesn't mean you're in love with me. I don't know how but you definitely seem to have the idea that because a guy saves a girl that said girl needs to fall heads over heels for him. I saved you because you are my friend and a part of my family that why I saved you and anyone else would have done the same, if it were anyone else in the guild how do you think you would have acted?" Natsu asked curiously as they continued walking.
Lucy had to think for a minute before answering, to be honest she had no idea how she'd react and what he said was beginning to make sense. "I…I never thought about it like that, sorry" Lucy replied still in a sad tone. "You don't need to apologize Lucy, just remember there's someone out there for everyone. You're a very attractive person Lucy so you'll find someone who you can love you for who they are and likewise for them" Natsu replied finally turning to face her giving her a small grin causing the stellar spirit mage to blush.
"I don't know whether I should be bringing this up but I recently had what I suppose you would call a vision, I not quite exactly sure how it works but I saw all of us in a cave not far from here before we emerged in the capital centre" Charla spoke up after being deep in thought. "What do you mean by vision Charla" Wendy asked while looking at her partner with a confused look. "I don't quite understand yet child but almost everything that's happened to us so far was in my vision or whatever you want to call us. So if there is or isn't a cave there I suggest it's worth a look.
"As long as it help us find the others sooner. Alright let's go!"
Chapter end
Well this chapter definitely took a different turn than I expected. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter. On another note I recently watch a few new anime that have a lot of promise in my opinion but if I were to recommend anime for you who love a bit of plot twist in it with good character and character development then I suggest Rokka no Yuusha it takes about an episode or two to get you hooked on it. It's only 12 episodes long but there should be a second season in a few months or so, also today I watched a brand new anime just released this morning called Lucifer Comet, it has promise but because it's an original anime there is now pressure for it to live up to a manga or light novel series it one of those original series like guilty crown and while I enjoyed guilty crown up to a point overall it was still good so I'm expecting Lucifer Comet in terms of how good it is to rate about 6/10 and lastly how awesome is the new Fairytail op 21 Believe in Myself by edge of life.
