Time for chapter 2!

This chapter isn't quite as long as the last but it felt like a good place to break the story up. Natsu and Oro demonstrate their Magic to the Fairy Tail wizards and we get to see an element of Natsu's second type of magic. How they learnt their secondary magic's will be explained later on in the story I promise.

Once again I don't own squat except for the Original characters and story lines

Enjoy!

The next day Erza arrived at the guild to find the two brothers idly lying on their backs enjoying the sun. Her attention focused on Oro, he was wearing that same tattered black coat that he always wore but his shirt was now gone and she couldn't help but admire the strong musculature on display. Scolding herself for staring she moved forward and waved to them. Catching in her scent they both looked over and waved back.

"Ready to go?" Natsu called as he ran over to meet her

"Well I am but we have to wait for Gray"

"Oh he's inside" Oro smiled, "can smell that guy from a mile away"

Erza cocked her head to the side silently asking the obvious question only to get a devious smirk from the two boys

"We'll explain everything when we show you our magic" Natsu chuckled as he refused to answer the question.

3 hours later

The group were nearing Mt. Hakobe and the village. The trip had been mostly uneventful with the brothers casually chatting to themselves and enjoying the warm spring air.

"I still can't believe how relaxed they are about their first job" Gray whispered to Erza as he glanced back over his shoulder at the brothers,

"That's because it isn't really" Gray froze when he heard Oro reply from easily 40 ft behind them while Natsu started laughing

"You'll have to be A LOT quieter than that if you don't want us to hear you."

Before either Gray or Erza had a chance to respond they saw both brothers tense up, sniff the air and start running towards the village

"Wait! where are you going!" Erza shouted as she took off after them

"Something bad is happening" Oro shouted over his shoulder "It smells evil over there"

As they neared the village the sound of crying along with men shouting could be heard. It was a simple village, with the buildings mostly constructed of wood with stonework foundations. A few of the houses had small vegetable patches and small flower beds. They ran up to one of the nearby buildings and peered around the corner. In the middle of the village there was a prison cart being loaded with children while their parents were shouting and being kept back by a group of men wearing black leather armour.

"Shut up and we won't kill you!" the leader of the group shouted at the adults. "Don't worry we aren't going to kill your children, just put them to work." he finished with an evil looking smile. Hearing this and knowing what was about to happen Natsu quickly put his hand on Oro's shoulder

"Oro, wait we have to be-" he was silenced by his brothers eyes as Oro turned and stepped out into the road

"Sorry Natsu, you know I can't let this slide" Erza was shocked by the look in Oro's eyes, years of pain and torment were clearly visible.

Oro started striding towards the group, as Gray made to follow him Natsu put a hand out and sighed.

"Don't worry, we've got this, I won't let anything bad happen to him ever again. Besides you get to see our magic now right?" He grinned to hide the pain he felt for his brother, and walked past Gray. Gray looked at Erza who was trying to get to grips with that familiar look in Oro's eyes, they were just like hers after, after that. As Oro approached the bandits finally noticed him and a couple began to run at him with swords drawn.

Time Dilation

Before the first man could even get to Oro he lost his grip on his sword as it was wrenched from his hands and impaled straight through his kneecap. Blood gushed out and splattered across his face as he screamed in pain. The bandit looked up confused as Oro was still a good 40 feet away from him. The sword removed itself from the man's leg and flew over to Oro's side hovering over his shoulder with the point aimed at the other bandits, blood slowly dripping to the ground. Natsu walked up beside him,

"Pick a side Natsu, and don't forget to put a show on for the crowd" Oro stated while not taking his eyes off of the incoming bandits

"I'm glad you aren't trying to argue with me bro"

"Figured it would be pointless. You always get involved"

Fire Dragon's Flaming Wind

Natsu shouted as his body erupted into flames and he flew towards the right side of the group, He made quick work of the bandits with well placed kicks and punches that sent them careening into the nearby buildings without any of them having time to react.

Infinite Dragon's Quantum Burst

Oro began to pulse with a purple energy and then disappeared, instantly appearing in front of the bandits to the left along with small floating orbs of purple energy that rose out from his aura and hung in the air. Once there were as many orbs as bandits they darted out hitting each man in the chest before encasing them in purple light. The men cried out in pain before they quickly fell into unconsciousness. The bandit leader looked shocked as almost half of his group had been quickly decimated. Luckily those nearest him were mages too so they weren't beaten yet.

"Stupid kids! What the fuck do you think you are doing! Do you even know who you are dealing with?!" As he shouted dark auras began to surround him and his men

Black Tempest

Further down the road Erza and Gray began running towards the group

"What the hell Erza! I thought these were just supposed to be Bandits?!"

"They were! Hurry we have to help them"

A black cloud hovered over the group before tendrils began snaking down towards the two brothers

"Looks like this won't be too boring then" Natsu grinned as he easily dodged the first tendril but had a leg snared by a second.

"Don't get too cocky. Now how about you stand down like a good boy and I won't hurt your brother...too much" The leader was looking at Oro who had allowed both legs to be caught and just stood still.

"Sorry old man but you just fucked up. This weak magic isn't going to do shit to Natsu. Oh and thanks by the way"

"Huh? Thanks for what you idiot I'm about to steal your power"

Oro smirked, "Thanks for letting me free the children while you were babbling on"

The leader turned and was stunned to see the bars of the cage had decayed to nothing and the children were running back to their parents.

"Hey ass clown don't forget about me!"

Fire Dragon's Wing Attack

Natsu engulfed his leg in flames, and as he flipped over he swung his leg towards the tendril that was holding him. Fire erupted along the tendril, travelling back into the cloud which presently exploded, raining fire down upon the dark mages who immediately starting firing streams of black energy at both of the dragon slayers.

Iron will

Natsu held his hands outwards with his fingers splayed, a crackling blue energy began to spark between them, before shooting outwards and creating a barrier that absorbed and destroyed all of the magic fired his way.

Infinite Dragon's Void

The bolts of energy fired at Oro meanwhile were being dragged and sucked into a glowing orb of purple energy floating in front of him.

"You guys just keep making mistakes huh?" Oro smirked as the orb shattered into 40 or so smaller orbs that shot back at the mages rendering many of them unconscious. The Bandit leader just turned and ran towards Natsu, anger and fury evident as he aimed another black beam at him,

Ice Make Tunnel

A cylinder appeared in front of the beam and wrapped upwards before curving back towards the bandit leader. The man screamed as he was hit with his own magic while Erza made quick work of the remaining mages with using her heaven's wheel armour.

"Looks like we didn't have to bother brother" Oro smiled as Natsu pulled him into a quick hug,

"Hope this didn't bring back bad memories Oro"

"Nah, I'm ok, you know how I can get when I see people being taken like that" Natsu returned his smile and turned to see a smiling Gray while Erza was finishing tying up the bandits.

"So you guys have some skill thats for sure, what kind of magic was that?"

"Well we are both Dragon slayers, My Dad was Igneel the Fire Dragon King and Oro's was Ouroborus the Infinite Dragon" Natsu replied with a smirk.

"Thought you said you were brothers?"

"Oh we are, Natsu found me when I was young and brought me back to live with him and Igneel for a while"

"Right but what abou-"

"Anyway that's why we are able to smell where people are. We also have better sight and hearing. It's kinda why we joined fairy tail too, you see my dad Igneel went missing and we were hoping that by meeting other mages we might be able to get some clues on where to find him" Natsu quickly interrupted Gray before the questions could get too painful for him.

"Really? Why?" Erza now joined in with an interested smile on her face, she was going to have to talk to levy about getting some information on dragons when she got back. This time it was Oro who answered, grateful for Natsu diverting the conversation

"Well because we were raised by dragons we also inherited some of their traits, Natsu for example is immune to fire and can even eat it. And we're both naturally more resilient and strong"

Gray leaned back slightly with a question in his eyes

"So if you really can smell us, what do I smell like?"

Natsu smiled, "Oh that's easy, peppermint, pine, which is a really weird mix by the way an-" Gray was frowning at Natsu before Oro interrupted "And Erza smells like Lilacs, strawberries and...and hope" she met his gaze as he hesitated over the last word blushing slightly as he continued to stare into her eyes

"What about you two?" Gray pointed at Natsu and Oro as he choose not to acknowledge Erza's blush, he wasn't about to risk getting on her bad side.

"Well Natsu smells like campfires, grilled peppers and will" Oro was still looking at Erza as he replied

"And Oro…" Natsu paused a moment to consider his answer, he had never been able to describe it, he would certainly never forget it and he thought it was a good smell but he had never been able to find the right words

"Well Oro kinda smells like everything" This got a surprised look from both Erza and Gray

"How can you smell of everything?"

"I dunno he just does"

"Could you also explain what Will and er...Hope smell like?" Erza had been lost in Oro's eyes but had finally managed to shake herself free, making him realise he had been staring and looking for something, he just wasn't sure what.

"That's a bit harder to explain, it's kinda like salt"

"Salt?"

"Yeah like you can't describe what salt tastes like but you know it when you taste it right. Other stuff tastes like salt"

"Still not getting you"

Oro sighed as he looked to Natsu for help but his brother just shrugged his shoulders and kept walking

"Well when we smell those things we know what they are just like you know the taste of salt but there is no way I could describe its smell with any other words"

"Nope don't get it" Gray stuffed his hands into his pockets and kept walking, he was trying to work out why Oro had interrupted Natsu earlier, what was the last thing he smelt of?

"I think I understand" Erza mumbled with while looking at the ground, she didn't want to risk looking at Oro again she couldn't understand why she got lost in his eyes so easily, sure they were unusual and beautiful to look at but that isn't the kind of thing that happened to her.

It was as if he was looking right through me, like he could see everything…

Gray interrupted her train of thought

"So you guys can actually smell emotions?" Natsu laughed

"Not exactly no, although Oro can kinda see them" He gave his brother a wink "It's more that a strong, constant emotion that you have had for a long time begins to leave a scent."

"Huh. So what was mine? Oro interrupted you before"

"I'll tell you later, I wouldn't worry about it." Gray silently fumed, why wouldn't they tell him?

I guess Oro had a reason for not telling him I better just wait until I find out why

Natsu mused as the town of Mongolia came into view.

"So Erza I meant to ask"'

"Yes Natsu"

"How did we do? You think Ice for brains is strong enough to fight one of us?"

"What did you call me?!" Gray was about ready to start a fight there and then

"Gray, shirt." Erza sighed and pinched her nose

"Why does he do always do that?" Oro asked as he caught up with them

"Something to do with his training I think, and to answer Natsu's question; I can't be sure but you are both probably almost as strong as Gray, which would still put you both in the top half of the Guild in terms of ranking." Oro smirked at Natsu

"Guess we didn't show them enough brother" Natsu grinned

"Guess not, now we will definitely have to have a match with someone"

As they approached the guild Gray motioned to Natsu,

"Come on then let's go out back and spar, let's see if you can back that stupid mouth of yours up"

"I will let the Master know. Don't go too hard on him Gray" Erza headed into the guild while Oro and Natsu followed Gray around the building to a training pit roughly 60 by 60 feet in size and 15 feet deep. There were wooden benches running around the edges giving enough seating for about 100 or more people.

"What's this for?"

Without replying Gray hopped down into the pit using his ice magic to make a slide down to the bottom.

"It's mostly used for general training but we also hold competitions between the guild members every once in awhile. Gramps thought that if we had an official place to fight we would wreck the guild less"

"Did it work?"

"Not really, it probably increased the number of fights, although there is a tournament in a few weeks which might be a good way for you to find out where you rank in the guild if that's what you want"

"Being in this guild is gonna be awesome!" Natsu lept into the pit. There was the sound of running feet coming from the guild hall and Oro saw what must have been every member who had been inside coming out to see the fight between Natsu and Gray.

"I'm not gonna take it easy on you just because you're new around here"

Makarov walked to the edge of the pit, and dropped his hand from above his head to signal them to start.

Fire Dragon's Flaming Wind

Natsu immediately flew around the edge of the pit leaving a trail of fire that began to build as he ran in circles around Gray. The temperature of the pit began to increase and there was a warm glow across all the spectators faces as they watched.

"You are fast I'll give you that but…"

Ice Make Floor

Gray punched the ground unleashing a large magic circle and almost instantly froze the floor of the pit. Natsu slipped and crashed straight into the side of the pit creating a large cloud of dust much to everyone's amusement.

"Smarter than you look ice pick I'll give you that" everyone looked to see natsu wreathed in in a bright red fire, the ice beginning to melt and crack under his feet as he walked towards Gray

"Looks like I'll have to take you a little more seriously"

Fire Dragon's Blazing Wing

Natsu swung his arm towards Gray sending a large arc of condensed fire flying towards him,

Ice Make Tower

A pillar of ice rose up beneath Gray to avoid the attack and he used the momentum to push himself up out of the pit before descending down towards Natsu

Ice Make Hammer

Gray brought a huge hammer crashing down towards Natsu who hadn't had a chance to move. Above Erza was stood next to Oro

"Sorry I tried to tell Gray to take it easy he gets too carried away sometimes"

There was a loud crashing sound as the hammer came down onto Natsu who was stood smiling at Gray with one hand holding the edge of the hammer. Thin blue lines of energy were quickly spreading across the hammer before it turned into nothing more than Ice cubes that scattered to the ground. Gray stood looking surprised,

"How did you do that?"

"Well, I wasn't completely honest with you earlier. Yes I am a Fire Dragon slayer but I also know Force magic"

White Tremor

Natsu thrust his entire forearm into the ground causing more of the blue lines to criss cross across the ice covered ground until the entire floor shattered into large cubes that lept into the air. Natsu quickly flipped up so he was standing on his hand, spinning his legs he kicked two of the ice blocks at Gray who was stood stock still, completely dumbfounded. At the last second he managed to dive out of the way only to find himself being struck by Natsu in the stomach

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist

Grey flew backwards smashing several of the ice blocks on his way into the far wall. Makarov smiled before raising his hand back into the air

"That'll do. Good fight Gray and well done Natsu" Gray was walking back towards the Dragon slayer with a wry smile

"You do know you kinda cheated right?"

"Haha, just thought it would make the fight more entertaining if you didn't know about my force magic beforehand" Gray made an ice tower raise up underneath them and they stepped off onto the sides of the pit.

"Oro my boy, who are you fighting?" looking around there wasn't anyone obviously stepping forward at this point

"Whoever you want old man" Oro jumped into the pit. The ice blocks were still all floating at various heights in the pit. "Stop showing off Natsu" he whispered hearing a chuckle before the ice blocks all shattered.

"Bickslow, you're up"

There was some muttering in the crowd at this, the man in question looked at a tall muscular blonde man who simply nodded. At that Bickslow jumped down into the pit and let out 4 small toys that began to float around his head. Oro raised an eyebrow, not so much that they were floating but at the choice of toys being used. They were all stuffed teddy bears in varying shades of pink.

Once again Makarov dropped his hand to begin the fight.

"Hey Natsu hold this for me would ya?" Oro threw his coat up to the top of the pit. A few of the girls watching tried to hide slight blushes, but Erza couldn't help but look at his back. There were hundreds of scars littered across it, in varying angles. She felt a lump in her throat and a rising anger at the sight, but couldn't take her eyes off it.

What happened to you…?

"I warn you I'm not quite the show off my brother is"

"Hey shut up! You're just as bad as me!"

Bickslow stuck his tongue out and tilted his head before laughing maniacally, the four stuffed toys began moving towards Oro and firing beams of green energy at him from various different angles. Oro simply put out his hand, palm facing upwards

Infinite Dragons Void

when he closed his fist a floating purple orb appeared and all of the energy beams began to be sucked into it.

"I think you may be at a disadvantage here" The orb shattered into purple orbs that all flew towards Bickslow. Just before the balls of energy could connect all the toys jumped in front of Bickslow and were smashed to pieces.

"Good job I always carry spares" Bickslow pulled out four more toys, these while also being stuffed toys, were all varying shades of blue. They began to spin around around Oro constantly increasing their speed.

Soul Typhoon

A sickly green light connected the toys, turning into a whirling typhoon of magic that constricted towards Oro. It crashed into Oro throwing a cloud of dust, sand and rubble into the air.

"Some advantage huh?" Bickslow turned to leave the pit only to come face to face with Oro

"Yup"

Infinity Dragon's Limitless fist

Oro thrust his fist into Bickslow's chest leaving no immediate effect before Oro jumped back separating the two fighters. Bickslow, who was expecting pain just looked at Oro

"Is that it.." he was stopped suddenly as he coughed up blood and and stepped backwards clutching his stomach. He looked down in surprise and then back to Oro who only returned his stare with a wry smile before Bickslow was dropped to his knees again feeling a hard impact into his stomach.

"That spell will keep hitting you until I end it. This fight is over"

"Ha, is that what you think?" the toys began to circle Oro again

Soul Extinction

The dolls started to glow with an intense light, and Oro felt a tug at something in his stomach, he panicked slightly unsure of what was happening. He felt dizzy, placing a hand to his head he frowned with a faint realisation settling his initial fear. Desperately trying to focus he clasped his hands together in front of him.

Infinity Dragon's Endless Claw

A large Claw appeared that resembled a purple dragon's claw and shot towards Bickslow attached to a seemingly endless arm that passed through Bickslow's chest eliciting a pained scream as he collapsed on the ground.

"Sorry, looks like I put too much on that one" Oro bent over and gently lifted Bickslow onto his shoulder before leaping out of the pit and placing him on the ground. He turned to face Makarov with a sheepish smile

"Oops"

Makarov smiled at the boy,

"Not to worry boy, he's had much worse. Erza could I speak to you for a moment?" Erza who had been watching Oro intently as he retrieved his coat from Natsu looked over to Makarov and nodded slightly before following him inside the guild.

"What is it Master?

"Those boys, they are definitely S-class level, so we are going to set up a trial for them in a couple of days. So I need to you to get them out of the way, seeing as yourself and Gray have spent the most time with them I was hoping you would know an easy way to get rid of them for a while"

Erza nodded she didn't want to lie to the boys, and she wasn't even sure if she could. Whenever Oro met her eye's it was like he could see right through her. She would have to hope Natsu wasn't the same.

"I believe I have a way"

Well that's it for chapter 2, i wanted to show the other magic the two boys had, and there are other spells i've got cooked up for future fights.

I should clarify as well, that while Oro knocked Bickslow unconscious that was mainly because he put more power than he should have into a sparring match as he was a bit panicked not really knowing what the spell was doing to him. While Natsu beat Gray again that was because he caught him by surprise, while Natsu is stronger than the canon he is currently very close to Gray's level who is also stronger, this will be explained later as well.

If i had to compare them to someone in canon for reference I'd say the brothers an Gray are currently a shade below Erza at this point in the story, the next chapter will have them meeting Lucy in Hargeon to give some context to timing.

Hope you enjoyed reading it, honestly it's taking a bit longer to get to the main story I've been thinking of but I didn't want it to feel rushed

Please read and reveiw

Thanks
