Another three days past, Natsu was up against Erza and Tyson at this point of time. Tyson was finally able to bring out the phoenix form from him, but it proved useless against Natsu. So, after that getting the phoenix form, he figured out moves in which Natsu ate all of it in which gave Natsu the power to use some of his stronger moves. Now, they all rested. Natsu and Gajeel slept; Sting and Rogue went over to the waterfall and pond; Tyson learned a bit more on how to wield a sword; and Levy and Lucy talked quietly. The day dragged onto night and they ate and slept peacefully. The next morning, they all awoke, ate and began to head out into the forest to where they were supposed to meet the dragons, Lucy, Natsu, and Gajeel in the lead. "Erza, I think I thought of a last name," Tyson told Erza who walked next to him with her luggage pulled along with her.
She gave him her full attention. "My last name is going to be Azarhoma*," Tyson told him.
"That's an interesting last name," Erza nodded her head in approval.
Tyson nodded with pride, his sword hitched as his side, making him feel safer.
They arrived at the clearing just to see three dragons landing. Natsu and Gajeel stood, but the rest braced themselves from the strong wing beats. As the wind subsided, Sting and Rogue stared in shock to see dragons once more. Erza felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer size even though she's seen them in the past. Levy seemed in a mixture of wonder and excitement. "Natsu, it seems that you found more of your friends including Sting and Rogue," Igneel boomed.
Natsu nodded and the all three dragons bent their heads down. "We believe that that we found Wendy and a few others. We're going to take you there though. Traveling by foot will take too long and on a train, it seems that you might get into trouble with those knights," Grandine explained.
Natsu climbed onto Igneel, Tyson and Lucy followed him on. Gajeel, Levy, and Rogue climbed onto Metalicana. Erza and Sting climbed onto Grandine while she picked up Erza's cart of luggage. They began to ride and Natsu seemed to enjoy the ride. So did the rest of the dragon slayers, but the others were so scared at first as the flew and in the distance, they could see a familiar city, Magnolia. The dragons landed and allowed their passengers off and Grandine set Erza's luggage down. "So, Igneel, where can we find Wendy?" Lucy asked after they all got off and stretched out.
"Wendy should be where my Edolas self used to live. If I'm correct, another boy lives with her," Grandine answered.
They nodded, seeming to know where that is. "Also, somewhere in Magnolia, a blue-haired man with a tattoo over his left eye should live somewhere there," Metalicana added.
"Let's split up," Erza suggested and the others murmured their agreement and Erza continued, "I'll go to Magnolia. Levy, Sting, and Rogue will come with me. Natsu, you'll go with Lucy, Tyson, and Gajeel to get Wendy."
They nodded and Igneel added, "We'll be waiting here for your return."
The two groups split and Natsu led them to where Wendy now lived. After walking a distance, they saw a familiar boy taking apples down from te trees. He then looked down and after moments, shock covered his face. "Natsu-nii!" The boy called out, a large grin on his face. He raced down the ladder to meet the fire dragon slayer. "Romeo, it's great to see you again," A large grin formed on his face and Tyson frowned a bit.
He never realized that Natsu was looked up by another kid also. "Is Wendy here with you?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah, she's inside, I'll get her!" Romeo raced off to the cottage and entered through the door.
"Natsu-nii, who's he?" Tyson asked quietly. Lucy knelt down next to Tyson and began to explain, "When I had just joined Fairy Tail, Natsu had saved Romeo's father. Natsu knew what it felt like to lose a father so he didn't want Romeo to go through that pain. Ever since then, Romeo had began to look up to Natsu."
"Sorry I didn't tell you. I honestly thought Romeo was going to die after I saw the wounds on him before he left the fight. I wanted to take him with me, but I didn't know how to treat the wounds he had," Natsu explained, a small frown was on his face and added, "But I'm glad he's still around. Unless I would feel haunted for allowing someone important to me die."
Tyson gaped, unable to say another word and Lucy stood back up. Wendy ran out and Romeo followed her. Hope sparkled in her brown eyes as she saw Natsu. "Natsu-san!" Wendy tackled him with a hug.
Natsu hugged her back. "It's great to see you Wendy. I thought I might of not seen you again," Natsu told her.
Tyson looked at the girl that seemed to be at the age of thirteen. Tyson just couldn't help to call her cute. Lucy poked at him and Tyson looked up at her and she shook her head. Tyson understood what she meant and a grunt came from Gajeel. "Gajeel-san's here also," Wendy broke from the hug and looked at him.
Tyson wondered how she wasn't scared of the dragon slayer. "Lucy is too," Natsu told her and a warm smile spread across her face until she looked at me.
"Oh, Natsu-san, who's this," Wendy looked at the pink-haired mage. "That's Tyson. I only found him a few years ago," Natsu explained.
"Natsu-nii, I think we should head back to meet up with Erza and the others," Tyson told him.
"Erza-san's alive as well?" Wendy questioned and Natsu nodded.
"So is Sting, Rogue, and Levy-chan," Lucy added.
"Salamander, we still haven't had our fight yet, may I remind you," Gajeel said, seeming a bit disappointed.
"We can have it later. We could of had it yesterday, but apparently someone had to sleep," Natsu accused the other dragon slayer.
"Hey, I wasn't the only one that was sleeping!" Gajeel shot back. Wendy, Romeo, and Lucy gave a laugh while Tyson had a small smile on his face at the argument.
