"DAMMIT!" yelled Natsu as he run deeper into the forest while the raindrops fell down.

He ran and ran and ran deeper into the forest after watching what just happened right in front of his OWN eyes. The biggest betrayal the he had ever experienced in his entire life. The sadness he felt at that time was INSANE! He had never been as sad and disappointed like that since Igneel left him when he was a child.

Sure his sadness towards what has Igneel done to him was close to gone because of the guild. Those feelings disappeared because of his comrades.

Because his friends. Because of his family. And of course, because of HER.

Yes, HER. The one who lift him up when he was down. The one who stands for him when there was nobody to support him. She was the ONLY reason for him to feel love. She was the ONLY one in his heart. Well, she was.

Now, she is the one that made him cry. She's the one that's responsible for the sadness that dwells in his heart. She's the one who committed the betrayal. She's the one that broke his heart. And for a dragon slayer, that's the worse that can happen. When a dragon decides it's mate, the creature will commit only to their mate and be loyal to them. So, if the mate were to betray their love, they will still be trapped the same love and affection towards the betraying mate. They'll die alone with the love of something that doesn't belong to them anymore.

Natsu ran deeper into the forest. He wasn't noticing where he was going, as long as he went as far as he could, away from the cause of his sadness, pain, and dilemma. After a lot of time running into the forest in the rain, he finally stopped. Suddenly, he screamed, as hard as he could. His scream was filled with despair, agony, pain, and anger. His agonizing howl could be heard miles from the forest. After a while, he stopped screaming. And then he let some mutterings be heard from his mouth.

"Why...? How...could...you..did t-that..." He sobbed. Then his sobbing and mutterings can be heard louder.

"Why? Why?" He continues to do that until he shouted so hard that the birds and all living creatures that was near him began to scramble away.

"WHY?!" He screamed. It's was the same tone of scream like he did a few moments ago. The difference is, they were filled with more anger.

As Natsu scream, his onyx-colored eyes were not filled with this usual cheerfulness and happiness. Instead, there was nothing but rage and anger. His eyes was burning with rage. Suddenly, his body fell to the cold ground as he went into a state of unconsciousness. Then, he woke up and then he covered his whole body in flames. But, something happened to his flames. They were darkening. His usual orange fire turned slowly into totally black flames. His pink hair turned into red with black tips and blackish red tribal markings appeared and started to spread from his body. Natsu's black fire began to grow and grow.

The fire started to spread, before everything turned white. KABOOM! And when it was over, there was Natsu, kneeling in the place he used to be. The thing is, the forest was no more. The big and shady trees that used to grow tall and strong, was turned into ash in a split second. The grass that was growing green left no trace whatsoever. There was only Natsu, a giant crater, and a forest that's almost leveled to the ground. Unbeknownst to him, there were a pair of eyes that watched the whole scene.

A while ago...

"Damn it! Where did that freakin' Salamander run to?" Gajeel thought while running into the same rainy forest that Natsu went to.

"Ah! Footsteps!" Gajeel then found some footsteps that might belong to Natsu.

"Yep, it's him. But there's something weird going on here..." Gajeel thought as he sniffed the footsteps that was on the ground.

Gajeel then followed Natsu's footsteps into the forest. Suddenly, he heard a scream. He realized that it was Natsu. Realizing that he almost close to Natsu, he ran towards the source of the sound. After a few minutes of running, he came across a screaming Natsu, covered in flames. Flames that were spreading. When he saw that, Gajeel went behind a huge boulder.

"Something feels off here..." he thought. He was confused by Natsu's scream.

"Ain't Salamander's immune to fire?" he thought.

Suddenly, Gajeel saw something that shocks him. Natsu's fire turned black, his hair color changed, tribal markings appeared from his body.

"The fuck's happened to him?" Gajeel then saw Natsu lights up. "Shit. I should be ready-"

KABOOM!

Just before the big explosion happened, he managed to change his skin into hard steel.

"ACK! Shit! How can it hurt?" Gajeel was already in his steel skin, but he still felt an enormous pain.

After the explosion happened, Gajeel's vision came back. Gajeel got up from where he was before, only to realize that eveything was gone. No trees, no grass, only the scorched ground and a big crater in the middle of what used to be the forest. And in the middle of the crater, he saw Natsu with his new appearance. Gajeel was very surprised to see Natsu being capable of doing that huge and powerful destruction. He never saw Natsu being like that. Gajeel was shocked to the bones. He decided to go to Natsu after that.

Natsu went back up after the destruction that he created. He looked up to the skies. The weather's changed better, it was just cloudy. Then he looked at his arm and body.

"Heh, so this is what you made me into? Nice one, lady" Natsu suddenly grins, remembering something from a few moments ago.

Flashback

"It hurts..." he thought when he laid down. As he got back up, he finds himself in a dark place.

"Yes, it hurts doesn't it?" Suddenly a lady appeared before him. "It doesn't feel good when someone you love betrayed you right?"

"Wait who-"

"I am Venesia Arcadia, the Queen of Fire" the lady said. She looked quite young with a beautiful face and she wears a white gown with red tones. She has a buxom chest and a red hair that matches her eye color.

"What are you doing here? How can you know what I feel" Natsu asked with a hurtful voice.

"Ow, don't be sad. Instead, you should be grateful that I've came to you."

"What do you mean?"

"I can grant you the power to control all kinds of fire in the world. Not just that, I'll give you some other powers as well"

"Like what?"

"Teleportation, fast regeneration, healing abilities, and many more."

"So?"

"With those powers you could do a little revenge don't you know? In change, you shall vow yourself to became my assistant."

"..."

"So, how about it, Natsu Dragneel? It's a nice deal is it not?"

"If I agree, then I'll be able to control all fires there is right?"

"Correct."

"And I can use them for my own will?"

"Absolutely" Venesia nodded. "So how about it?"

Natsu then remembered the reason he ran to he forest. Images of Gray and Lucy being together sickens him.

"I'll do it." Natsu replied.

"Nice decision!" Venesia said while winking to Natsu. "Then to make it official, I'll have to seal you as mine."

"How do you do it?" Natsu asked.

"Like this." Venesia then kissed Natsu on the cheeks.

"W-w-what did you just do?" said a flustered Natsu

"I branded you as mine." she said while smiling.

"Is that the only way?" Natsu asked.

"Of course not you silly" Venesia responded while joking

"Then why do you did it like that?"

"Because I want to. By the way, after you've wake up, you'll need to go to this place to learn to control your powers " Venesia said while giving a map to Natsu while smiling at him. "You should wake up in a moment now."

"Okay then, guess this is goodbye." Natsu said.

"I don't think so."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out later." she said as she winked. "Time's up, farewell Natsu!"

"Farewell, my Queen"

Current time...

"I feel really powerful." Natsu said.

"Oyy, Salamander." Gajeel called out to him.

"Gajeel." Natsu responded.

"What the hell did you just do?"

"I've encountered something...amazing."

"I don't care what it is, but we should head back to the guild."

"No."

"Hey, I know you're sad. I'll treat you a few drinks okay?"

"Gajeel, because you're my friend and also one of our kin, I'll tell you this. I'm leaving."

"Why's that?"

"I'm heartbroken and I want to get stronger. Please understand. And don't go to the guild and tell this to everyone."

"Okay then."

After that, Natsu and Gajeel part ways. Natsu went to his house and Gajeel went to the guild. When Gajeel arrived, he kicked the doors, and just sit down at the bar and ordered some drinks. When other members challenged him to a fight, he doesn't respond. He just sits there, sipping his beer. While Natsu on the other hand searched for a piece of paper and then wrote a letter for the master. After that he took another piece of paper and wrote a letter for his best friend, Happy. After that he left the two letters on his bed and packed his stuff also tidied his house before he left on a journey of mastering the world of Fire Magic.

"So long, Fairy Tail." he said as he left.
