A/N: All right at this point my brain is on like a writers overdrive of idea's for this fiction o.O

Natsu opened his eyes slowly, he was aware of people moving around downstairs he sighed his thought dwelling on the tower before shaking the thoughts from his head he rolled out of the bed, I can be glad for many things I should not dwell on the past I will deal with it when the time comes he thought to himself. He left the room and the unmistakable sizzle of bacon his ears followed by the smell of a cooked breakfast he mouth began to water as he walked into the kitchen it wasn't long before Erza peered around the corner and joined him.

"You teach him to cook?" Erza asked curiously

Natsu nodded "Of course I do, Jellal would burn air if he could get it in a pan."

They heard the sound of laughter from the kitchen and Raken emerged with a large pile of various breakfast foods "You are right about that one big brother, he truly was hopeless in the kitchen."

Wendy stirred and practically zombie walked to the table to begin eating, the group gave her a strange look and she ignored them.

"Is she even awake?" Erza asked

Raken ducked his head to try and see if her eyes were open, he got up and walked over to her he straightened up and tapped his chin for a moment before he seemed to have an idea he walked behind her and poked her sharply in the sides causing her to jolt upright before turning around with a death glare at Raken, Erza and Natsu just watched as Raken ran from the bluette for dear life.

"I know how she feel," Erza commented as they turned back to the table "But shouldn't you go help him?"

Natsu looked up pondering for a moment before shrugging "I could but he cooked us all this food and they already have ran so far," He smiled as he sighed "Just too much effort."

Erza rolled her eyes with a smile "You mean you are just too lazy."

"Weren't you the one that said I should just be happy about having a week off, I don't think I can classify saving him from his own stupidity a fun task." Natsu retorted

"How far do you think he will get?" Erza asked

Natsu put three fingers up and put them down one at a time as the last one fell they both heard a loud crash and Natsu smiled "I would say he try to double back and he just got caught in the alley beside the house."

Wendy entered from the side door with an evil looking glare on her face and Raken followed her in rubbing his head, Erza turned to Natsu "Looks like you were right."

"Of course, Raken hasn't changed since we were kids he used to do the same thing whenever Jellal or I were chasing him." Natsu explained

"Yeah," Raken replied "But back then there were two of you, I thought it would work against only her."

"Serves you right for being so rude." Wendy scolded

"Me being rude?" Raken asked incredulously

"Yes you being rude." Wendy replied

"As opposed to the zombie at the table you were being," Raken retorted "In fact you have been nothing but rude since you came here."

"Have not." Wendy snapped

"Really," Raken said flatly "You have punched my brother in the face fallen asleep when we were finding out about Jellal and you just chased me around the block after I cooked you breakfast."

"Hey, I only punched him because I thought he was hurting you," Wendy paused and blushed before shaking her head slightly "And I heard his whole retelling of the tower of heaven, I fell asleep afterwards because I was tired and you may have cooked breakfast but I warned you months ago not to wake me up like that."

Raken opened his mouth to argue but Natsu cut him off "Raken, remember what me and Jellal taught you?"

Raken stopped and nodded his head.

"What did you and Jellal teach him?" Erza asked

"You can't win an argument with a woman," Natsu answered "It doesn't matter how many fact's you use, it seems a woman's logic was invented to counter men's common sense."

Erza glared daggers at him "That had better be a joke."

"Well the second part is," Natsu admitted with a large smile "But I don't think even the master has beaten Mira in an argument so there is your proof of that."

"I'll second that." Raken said around a mouthful

Even Wendy nodded "It's true, Mirajane always wins."

"Hey, I let you out of the hospital even though I didn't want to." Erza retorted

"Well actually you had no choice as I checked myself out and walked away," Natsu corrected "So there was no argument to win."

The group are in relative silence for a few minutes before Raken spoke again "Big brother, is it true you made your own power in the fight with that dark guild?"

Natsu nodded "Yeah, I think I found a name for it too, Pure force as it is energy in it most purest form doesn't get more fitting than that."

Raken smiled eagerly "That is so cool, will you teach it too me?"

"Do you even have telekinesis?" Natsu asked

Raken shook his head "Right, it revolves around that doesn't it."

Natsu nodded "It's not like your own magic is weak."

"Yeah but having your own style," Raken started "You literally have a blank slate you can do whatever you want with it."

"It's not as fun as you think it is," Natsu replied "The amount of training to develop spells is going to be difficult while it is a blank slate, I still need ways and triggers to make the spells work."

"Yeah, well if anyone can do it it's you." Raken said firmly

"Speaking of training," Wendy cut in "Erza would you mind teaching me a few of your moves?"

"Well fundamentally dragon slayer magic is the same," Erza thought about it for a second "But I don't know if you could use any of the power's like mine."

"Well I am primarily a healer," Wendy said simply "You are focused on combat, I was hoping to exchange some techniques and maybe we could unlock a few more powers."

"I don't see why we can't try it," Erza said plainly "but don't get your hopes up too much."

Wendy nodded excitedly "I won't!"

The two women got up and after placing their plates in the kitchen they left the house, Natsu turned back to Raken.

"Actually one of my first and probably most difficult problems with this power is gauging its flow and how controlled I can make it." Natsu said picking up where they had left off.

Raken stroked his chin for a moment "Well if you are talking about adding force to punches and kicks, I would say the more compact you can make the energy and blow the better it's effect."

Natsu nodded "I thought the same thing, how is the Golem magic of yours?"

"I think I can manage a few things for you to train on," Raken answered "But it isn't very good."

"I don't know what I am going to do for a week," Natsu sighed "I have never really had to do nothing for a week."

Raken shook his head "Well most people would catch up on books they haven't read or spend time with loved ones."

"I don't really read books," Natsu replied "And my loved ones are already here."

Raken rolled his eyes and sighed "Find. A. Hobby." he said slowly

Natsu glared at him "I have hobbies I am just not allowed to pursue them right now because of stupid injuries."

"Well what do expect you took on an entire dark guild solo," Raken shrugged "Did you honestly think your were going to get out of there without a scratch."

"Well no I wasn't thinking at all." Natsu answered

"Yeah, you haven't changed much either," Raken smirked "Hey something has been bugging me from your explanation."

Natsu raised an eyebrow at him and Raken continued "It just feels off, he wasn't a bad person something had to have happen do you think the cultists used some kind of mind control spell?"

Natsu nodded "I have considered this a few times myself, no I don't think it was the cultists themselves but I don't know what has our brother."

"Do you know what the tower's original purpose was?" Raken asked

"They were going to use it to resurrect there god," Natsu answered "Although that is the extent to what I know about its function."

Raken nodded and his brows furrowed in thought "Is it possible that this god possessed him?"

"It's possible, he did seem like he became a completely different person," Natsu confirmed "But do gods even possess people?"

"Well the good ones don't," Raken joked with a smile "I would assume it is something like a malevolent spirit as you said there were many people that died cursing that tower maybe one of them came back."

"Die cursing the tower possess someone to rebuild it," Natsu looked at his brother in amusement "That seems like the most logical course of action to me."

Raken sighed "Alright, maybe it was one of the cultists themselves."

"Well unless you know of a way to exorcise spirits then it doesn't matter," Natsu replied "If we can't get it out of him or he really has just become evil there is nothing we can do about it."

Raken nodded but they continued to discuss the subject meanwhile.

"Your dragon didn't even teach you the roar?" Erza asked confused, that was the first thing Igneel taught me.

Wendy shook her head "My combat abilities are all static, I can surround myself in energy and empower my punches but it isn't really a combat ability."

"Well if you are a healer, why do you want to learn combat magic?" Erza asked as they walked.

"Well I can't expect people to be there and protect me all the time, what happens if our group get separated am I supposed to just curl up and wait to be killed?" Wendy snapped.

"No, but combat magic itself is difficult to learn," Erza answered "Dragon slayer combat magic takes even more work."

"I'm prepared to do whatever it takes." Wendy nodded firmly.

Erza watched her for a moment before she had a thought "You wouldn't want to learn combat just so you can protect that boy?"

Wendy looked at the ground and scuffed her shoe against the stone "So what if I do?"

Erza pinched her nose and shook her head "Well at least your reasons are relatively pure you aren't going to go out looking for revenge on anyone are you?"

Wendy shook her head "No I only want to be able to protect people."

"Alright alright calm down little one," Erza said plainly "I don't have anything else to do this week so I can show you a few things, in fact after you learn to do the roar I could probably stop teaching you altogether."

"What do you mean?" Wendy asked

"Well each dragon's roar is the catalyst for combat abilities, the spells the branch out from the roar are your own you mind and soul and heart come into play in creating each one the trick is learning their names and triggers," Erza explained "For example after my specialty in my moves is close range combat, but someone like black steel Gajeel, he is a specalist in mid range as he arms extend into long metal beams and he has hardened defense, while it is not impossible to develop close range moves and a mid to long range fighter it is less common and more difficult."

""So each dragon slayer can be as unique as the dragon they embody?" Wendy concluded

"Very good," Erza nodded with a smile "now all we need to do is find a spot where we can practice."
