Hmmm Rose for some reason avoids Natsu, Natsu seems really fidgety and tends to stay close to Wendy... Maybe Rose has a crush on Natsu! But why does she look all teary when she looks to Natsu? Lucy thought.
"Lu-chan you look all serious and your face is all wrinkled up" Levy worried
"Lucy-chan, you shouldn't do that with your face" said Lisanna.
"Whatever, I'm trying to figure out what's going on between Rose and Natsu!" Lucy screamed in frustration.
"But there is nothing going on! They avoid each other for some reason . But what's weird is how the adults are all acting around Rose-chan. They look all scared!" Lisanna pondered.
"Well Master said she was very strong. "
"So you girls are talking about little rose-chan huh?" intruded a somewhat on the verge of drunk Macao. "You best not get into her bad side. She was quite rebellious and smart for little four year old. But she has turned out to be quite a beauty and a friendly person too! But she had many battles, her biggest one was saying goodbye to this guild. The hardest thing a small four year old could do. To say goodbye to her family for who knew how long for who knew why. Master himself said he didn't know why she had to leave."
"Eh she left to her own accord!"
"Yep she was quite a cute little girl really but she got into all sorts of trouble when she battled. She always forgot to " He began shuddering" Always forgot to go easy on the guild members."
"Really she was that strong?"
"Hell yeah! She defeated two of the strongest guild members in 1 minute flat!"
"Who was it? I guess Gildarts was one of them, but who was the other?"
"Here I'll tell you"
Flashback
"Ne, ne Uncle Gildarts, you've been gone for too long! I missed you!"
"Ngaaw so cute little Rose-chan! Master says that you've become very strong!"
"Don't flatter me! I'm really angry at you!"
"And what are you going to do huh? You're just a little girl!"
"Don'ty underestimate me you idiot!" and with that little Rose Chan gave a big kick to Gildarts' face.
"Try doing that again little brat!" A now angry Gildarts yelled.
"Uncle Gildarts, why don't we battle? I haven't fought anyone in a while!" said a little mischievous Rose.
"Rose are you trying to get killed!" Wakaba warned. But Rose just smiled at him
"Uncle Gildarts please! I wanna train!" whined Rose.
"Fine, fine do you want me to go easy on you?" Gildarts joked
Rose thought for a little bit and gave a toothy grin (Think Natsu) "Let's go full on Uncle! and that's a promise yeah?"
"Uh wha? I was kidding! I don't want to hurt you so you go full on and I'll just tone it down a bit."
"no"
"but"
"no"
With a sigh, Gildarts looked to little determined Rose. "Someone get a first aid kit ready, this girl wants a full on duel, she'll get one."
Gasps and screams of "YOU IDIOT DO YOU WANT TO KILL HER!" were heard all over the guild hall.
"Let's begin Uncle! You have the first move."
So Gildarts ran as fast as he could to the little gathered all his magic and punched but she dodged. He kicked but she smiled and jumped up in midair and took her katana from her belt. Despite the fact that it was twice her size she was waving it around like nothing was to it.
A magic circle appeared at the tip of the blade. " Burning Heart" screamed Rose as she flipped and jumped off the ceiling. Her blade glowed a bright orange. Gildarts laughed and held his hand out to deflect it, only to find that her blade had already given him a burn throughout his forearm.
"Wha when did this "
"Don't let your guard down and pay attention!" screamed Rose. She lifted her blade and cut across his chest. It was small cut, but Gildarts felt a burning sensation beginning to beat him down onto his knees. The small cut was not bleeding, but it was definitely glowing. Small little burn marks in the shape of roses seemed to go around the cut.
"Uncle Gildarts did I win? Did you go all out?"
Gildarts couldn't speak, he was paralyzed and his insides were burning.
"You took out Gildarts in one hit?"
"You're a little monster! AWESOME!"
"OI what are you brats blabbering about!" Demanded Master.
"Gramps I defeated Uncle Gildarts!"
Master looked to Gildarts. He seemed to be in a serious condition. As some people were carrying him into the infirmary.
"Rose, do you want to battle me or are you hurt?"
"Gramps, I didn't get hurt!"
"Not even a scratch?"
"Nop! I didn't even get to be serious! I'm getting really bored! you said fighting will be a challenge but it isn't at all!"
Master rose an eyebrow and whispers were exchanged throughout the guild. Rose trains by herself, no one has seen her strongest move.
"Well why don't you show your strongest move then Rose?"
" Mm it's not really finished yet Master, I have others but my best one is still a work in progress!"
"How do you know it's the best one?"
"Umm"
"Rose? what did you do?"
"Well I was training for the strongest attack and then when I was ready and gathered up my magic but before I could say any of the words well, my magic kind of..."
"Kind of what?"
"Kind of blew up half the forest."
Master was dumbfounded. "Well do your second best attack then."
"I need an opponent though."
"Hmm, any volunteers?"
The guild was silent. "Fine, I guess I'm gonna have to do it."
"Master, are you sure?" a guild member worried.
"Yeah, I mean Gildarts is weaker than I so I should be able to at least stay conscious from her attack"
"okay, Master, here I go!" Rose took her katana out and lifted it up in front of her face and closed her eyes. She released her magic and almost all of the guild members went to their knees. That magical force was suffocating and it was forcing them down. "Light of Fire" Her force was forming a large magic circle under her feet. She opened her eyes, which somehow turned into a dark onyx black. "Flicker!"
And her blade became red and shone like the sun. She walked to a shaking Master, who was trying his hardest to stay standing up. She touched his shoulder with the tip of her katana and a large wave of magic burst out of the katana.
BANG!
Master was thrown into the air and a pool of blood stained the floor. Rose's eyes became gold again. She sheathed her katana and opened her arms and caught Master.
Master Makarov could feel worse than just a burning sensation. The cut was in the shape of a rose and it glowed a bright white. His shoulder was bloody and stained his shirt. He too was now paralyzed and he was suffocating. Rose felt a little bad. "Gramps do you want me to take out the suffocating effect?"
He nodded. Rose put her tiny hands over him and took some of her magic from his body. Master began coughing but didn't move much.
"Rose-chan how did you do that?" choked out Master. "You didn't tell me you had healing abilities child"
"I don't gramps, the suffocation is from the magic. I compress it and the cut drives it through your body. The magic is aimed for your neck so that you can suffocate, all the while, the part where you were in contact with the blade, magic is forcing blood out of your body. But I wanted to keep you alive so it didn't take out too much blood. I took out the suffocating magic simply by drawing it out."
"For a three year old you are too smart and dangerous."
"Arigatou"
End of Flashback
"and Master was carried out and was also paralyzed for a week." said Macao as he finished his little story.
"Scary little girl." was all the girls said.
"Hmm that Rose is strong. So if I beat her then that means I'm stronger than Gildarts!" exclaimed Natsu.
"Natsu? When did you get her"
"Just a while ago, now I'm gonna challenge that girl! OI ROSE CAN WE HAVE A BATTLE!"
"umm"
"Oi flamebrain she's new! go easy on her!" Gray yelled.
"Shuddap what do you know ice brain she's been here longer than most of us!"
"Natsu-nii..." whispered Rose
"Eh what did you say? Rose?"
"Um I said, Uh sure okay!"
"Okay here I go!I'm all fired up!"
Master looked over to Rose and shook his head. "Rose! go easy on him!"
"Hai~"
Natsu lit his hand , but Rose took out her katana and … well you get what happens.
"No spell no nothing and she beat you with one attack. Geez Natsu has this ugly shack been making you weak or is your magic gone or something? She's younger than you!" Gray teased.
"Shutup ice cube, you try and beat her."
"Just watch me flame for brain! Rose! do you think we could have a match?"
"Sure!" Rose replied with a cheery voice, one that Macao, Wakaba and most other old mages shuddered too.
"Rose, if you so much as put a scratch on Gray-sama then you will face the consequences by Juvia!" Juvia warned.
"But, it's a match Juvia!" Gray reasoned.
"Then Juvia will accompany you!" Juvia demanded.
"No it's-"
"Juvia WILL accompany Gray-sama!"
Gray shrunk a bit back. "Hai" he squeaked .
"Shall we start?" Rose asked.
"Here we go! Ice make-" Gray put his fist to his hand and Juvia turned her arms into water.
But a movement was seen from Rose and they were on the ground, completely defeated.
"I didn't even see it!" Macao exclaimed
"Hehe nothing less of my little Rose-chan. You've grown so much!" Master praised.
"Master, can we fight again?" Rose asked, she seemed a little bored.
"Hell no!" Master said, he himself was starting shake very slightly.
"You fought Master?" Gray asked, his eyes widened.
"Hai!"
"Ice-head, she didn't just fight him, she beat him in one go! She did the same to Gildarts!" Natsu explained."If I beat her, then truly, for sure, I will beat Gildarts AND Master!"
"When did this happen?" Juvia asked.
"Umm, a while ago." Rose shrank back, she didn't like telling people about how strong she was. Otherwise, people will treat her either all special or will be too scared to to speak to her.
"Rose-chan don't be shy! Tell them how old you were when you defeated Gildarts and Me on the same day, without a scratch."
"Umm three years old..."
.
.
.
"EEHH!" said most of the guild.
"No way that's friggin' awesome!" said Gray.
"You're an awesome monster!" Cana said with a beer mug in the air.
Natsu was laughing and talking with the others until.
.
"YOU STUPID BOY"
.
Natsu could feel something come up from his stomach.
Rose saw his reaction. It's coming back to him.
Natsu started to clench his stomach. He felt sick, like he was going to throw up. Tears were starting to well into his eyes.
"Natsu! are you okay?" Lucy asked. She was really worried at his state. "Natsu! Wendy you need to help me! Natsu is sick!"
Wendy came running, she looked to him and felt his temperature. "Nothing's wrong, no fever,. It's just nausea. But he's really stressed about something. Maybe I could release some tension from his back. Lucy put him onto his stomach."
"Hai"
Guild members began to gather around what was happening to Natsu. Rose looked to him with sad eyes.
Natsu was shaking. His stomach was twisting and it was threatening to bring out his lunch. Wendy lifted the back of his shirt, but it only revealed ten large scars, that seemed to have come from a belt or whip of some sort.
"Rose, did you do this?" Lucy asked as politely as she could.
Rose didn't answer. Those aren't new scars. They have always been there.
"Rose!"
"I, I didn't do that." Rose answered. She can't tell them her, no their past.
"Lucy calm down! Rose gave him on hit and at the front, look, turn him over." Master oredred. They did so and where Rose's blade cut his chest there was a rose."She doesn't leave straight line cuts without her mark."
"Then what's hurting him!?"
clenched her fist. She can't tell them the truth. She looked to Master and walked to his office. Master understood everything and he folloed her.
"Wendy, tell me something that makes sense! Natsu is hurt!"
"Lucy-san, these scars, are, not new at all. They are about ten or eleven years old. Rose nor anyone from this guild could have done this."
"Then why do we see them now?" Lucy said, she was now panicking and was starting to tear up.
"That's something I can't answer."
In the Master's office.
"Master those scars, were there before he had even entered the guild. I know where they came from. I know everything about Natsu-nii's past. You said he was raised by a dragon. But he had a family, a life before then. "
"Child, tell me not just his past, but also yours. I believe you never told me anything."
"Master, before I start saying anything, when is that dark guild coming"
"Time is unknown. I haven't even told the guild yet."
"What! Master you need to tell them, if we get ambushed then"
"Then we'll fight."
"But"
"If I tell them about the war Fairy Tail will take the first move. It's in our nature, but we need to wait for a movement from the enemy. Gildarts is only a day away."
"Fine. If that's what you want Master."
"Now tell me everything. "
Shorter than others and a little pointless chapter so sorry.
