Thank you. I crossed 2000 views. And the fun begins from now on. A lot of fighting and powers and surprises. I totally changed Fairy Tail B. Ah, went on a holiday yesterday. You reviews made my day. Thank you. Hope you like the changes. Rest members of team Natsu will be back. In next chapter.
And as I said this is AU. So I can make all the changes I want.

The return to the guild was not what they had expected it to be. What was expected was to return to the Fairy Tail they left, not this run down building they were facing now. Anger boiled into their veins on thinking of what would have happened to the guild. The straw braked when the collectors came and they marched to get the dignity of their guild back.
It was easy for them to do so, but that was the time some of them realised that they were so much behind on their training. After this was proved to them by the master, although the frozen mages did win, decided to train.
Then came the news of the much awaited Grand Magic Games, and the shocking news that Fairy Tail had been coming last for the past seven years. At first the master was specked at them not to participate, but then carved when he saw the prize money. A rule book was arranged with very difficulty.
Meanwhile with Natsu it was a different case altogether.
'Damn you Salamander. You are a nascence' 'I am a nascence Gajeel? A monster? I will show you what real monster is, you have not even begun to see what a monster is. Both you and Fairy Tail.' His thoughts had taken a dark turn. Words spinning in his mind again and again. The games caught his attention. He walked toward the master.
"Can I talk to you alone for a sec, granmps" he asked, trying to sound normal, but failing. Lucky for him due to all the commotion he went unnoticed. The small giant nodded and led the way.
"What is it Natsu?" he asked, concerned.
"What are the names of the teams whom you have decided to enter as a team?" he asked.
"Why do you care. As for the record, I read the rule book and found we can enter two teams, I was thinking of doing that" he said excitement jumping into his eyes just thinking about all the money he was, ehm they were going to win.
"Can I know the teams you were thinking of making?" Natsu asked. In his mind he already knew one of the teams.
"Ah. You, Erza, Grey, Lucy and Wendy in one team and Laxus, Juvia, Elfman, Gajeel and Mirajane in one" he said and once again lost himself in his world. Natsu thought for a second and then a determined expression crossed his face.
"Master, I want you to exchange Elfman and me in both teams" he said causing master to turn in his direction surprised.
"Why would you want that?" he asked. Natsu knew that he could no longer hide it, if he wanted to change the teams. He opened his coat.
"T-This is" master slithered and seeing the pink haired wizard nod, he sighted.
"Laxus and Gajeel could subdue me if something went wrong, although Erza could, I am not sure but she will refrain from using force as not to hurt me. Gajeel and Laxus will not have such querns" he explained and the master could only agree. He picked up his coat and changed into it.
Natsu exited as the master made his announcement on the teams. A shocked silence fell on everyone. Most shocked were the ones of his team. Erza, Wendy, Lucy and Gray were shell-shocked at the news. Natsu, not on their team. Laxus and Gajeel meanwhile were not surprised that well, as they had had a feeling that something was wrong with Natsu.
Natsu made his exit, so he did not notice two people tailing him. He only heard a conversation.
"Why?" it sounded like Gray.
"Natsu asked me to. He has his reasons which will come forward in time. Meanwhile, Natsu has the right idea, get training or I will replace you" that was it as the voices went out of reach.
He kept on walking till he reached a clearing in the forest. Suddenly a blur attacked him, and he barely dodged as another came at him with similar speed.
"Ready to tell us what is wrong with you now salamander?" asked a long black haired figure as Gajeel and Laxus came out. He tried to deny it but Laxus stopped him with raising his hand.
"I heard you and grandfather talk. You wanted us to stop you if things went out of control. For that we need to know what is wrong." He sounded without a care and Natsu decided that it was best to tell them everything, even with Zeref. If they were afraid, he could not do anything. He discarded his coat for a second time that day.
"Are those?" Laxus asked as Gajeel was stunned into silence as Natsu nodded and begun to explain. From the second he begins to regain his memories till that point, his encounter with Zeref, demons and Acnologia.
"So you are E.N.D?" Gajeel asked just to be sure.
"I am and yet I am not, it's complicated and even I have not grasped it fully. But you could say it" he confirmed and saw Gajeel smirk and even Laxus look interested.
"You gotta show us what you can do salamander. Fight us" Gajeel asked and on seeing his doubt them grasped him by the shoulder, "Listen salamander, we are not week. We can handle ourselves and if you want us to stop you if you ever lose control, we need to know what you can and can't do" It made a lot of sense so Natsu decided to comply and with a smile he charged, a bluish-white magic circle formed on the ground and ice begun to creep up their bodies, they saw his markings change from bluish-white to scarlet before they were attacked again by a double edged sword being wielded by a pink blur.
"So this all you learned in last seven years. Impressive" Laxus commented and the battle continued, and markings kept on changing colours as the nature of attacks changed.
Meanwhile, a black figure emerged into the guild of Fairy Tail. The guild master looked at him and could feel a powerful but dark aura surround him. He motioned for him to come with him.
"Who are you?" he asked. The dark eyes focused on him and he felt chill go down his back.
"My name is Zeref Dragneel. I came to join the guild" he said and master thought for a second. 'Zeref. Will it be good, but maybe'
"Alright, you can join. By the way, would you fancy joining Grand Magic Games." Master asked and on seeing the uninterested look in his eyes, he continued "Natsu will be too" and seeing the instant interest in his eyes grinned internally. 'We will win for sure, and all the money will be ours. Beside Natsu can keep an eye on Zeref and Zeref on Natsu' after getting a mark on his neck, close to his shoulder, he turn to leave.
"Where are you going" master asked and those cursed onyx eyes turn to him again
"Where I need to be" and with that he left. He walked where his sense took him. He soon reached a clearing to see his beloved brother face two opponents. Suddenly, his kin's onyx eyes turned to him and a smile was thrown in his way.
"Care to join us, Zeref" he asked and by seeing the calm expressions on other two's face he could summarise only two things, either they were suicidal or somewhat trusted him. "At least give an introduction. I see you joined fairy tail" and he could see wariness in their expression now. Good trust but not fully. The only one he will never hurt was his brother, the same brother who was looking at him with adoring eyes.
"I am Zeref Dragneel, and I will be replacing Mirajane on your team" he said and saw three grins, although two wary thrown in his direction.
"Yosh, we will be unstoppable . Let's get to practice" Natsu beamed and for the next three months they trained for the upcoming games.
"Let Tarutrs go. The hunt will begin soon. I want to see what you can do now. To see if it time for Phoenix's rebirth" green hairs moved with wind as the man moved and a black haired women with horns welcome him.
"Let's see what this era of magic got" he said as he ordered the demon women around.
Done. Please read and review. As for rest? I don't know. Maybe I have something special planed for them. And yes Zeref is in Fairy Tail. But there is a reason for it, aside from Natsu of course.
