I no own Fairy Tail

Chapter two: Answers

NO POV

Tenrou Island, Two weeks after S-Class trials

Natsu opened his eyes and looked around confused; this was not his hammock in his house, or the comfy bed of Lucy's. He tried to remember where he was and why, then it hit him. His eyes widened as he remembered the trials, Grimoire Heart, Master Hades, and Zeref.

"Zeref!" Natsu yelled as he sat up and looked around for the dark mage. His eyes landed on a small girl with long blonde hair that reached her ankles, she was wearing a pink frilly gown and looked to have wings on her head. She looked at him with bright green eyes and gave him a smile. There was something familiar about her that made Natsu believe that he can trust her completely.

"Hello Natsu, I'm Mavis Vermillion, the first master of Fairy Tail." She said as she sat down in front of him.

"Master Mavis, what are you doing here? Where's Zeref? Where is the rest of the guild, are they safe?" He asked as he tried to stand but fell back down.

"NATSU," Mavis yelled, stopping his questions. "You should not push yourself so soon, you still need rest. Don't worry, everyone is safe, I sent them home." Her words relaxed the slayer with the knowledge his family is safe.

"What happened?" he asked calmly.

"Grimoire Heart came here looking for Zeref and wound up interfering with the S-Class exams" Mavis began but Natsu interrupted.

"I remember that, I beat Master Hades with Laxus' lightning that bonded with my flames." He said with a small smile remembering fighting with his new power, and making a mental note to thank Laxus later.

"Yes, but their interference caused Zerefs' magic to control him and attack everyone." Mavis said. Natsu looked at her with eyes full of surprise and confusion that only got more confused as she continued. "When you were about to fight him, I had to stop you two, so I took your feeling for protecting your friends and transferred them into magic to activate Fairy Sphere and seal you and Zeref away until his magic was no longer in control. After I sealed you two I helped the rest of the guild go home, however I did not explain what I did." She finished. Natsu had tears in his eyes as he smiled at Mavis.

"Thank you Master Mavis, you don't know how revived I am that my nakama are safe" He said.

"I didn't just do it to save my guild, I had another reason" She admitted.

"What do you mean?" Natsu asked. Mavis looked at him in thought like she was considering telling him the truth, before she had a look of determination.

"Natsu, my other reason for stopping you and Zeref from fighting is because….. Because you are my son, and Zeref is your father." She said and watched as Natsu's jaw slacked in complete and utter shock.

"r-really" he asked in a stuttering whisper.

"Yes Natsu, you are our son" A new voice said. Natsu looked over and saw Zeref leaning against a tree watching them, Natsu instantly tensed and watched for any signs of a threat.

"Natsu, he won't hurt anyone, he isn't under his magic's' control anymore." Mavis said trying to calm the tension between them. After a few minutes Mavis notices his eyes looked angry and hurt. "Natsu"?

"How is that possible, and why did you two abandon me!?' he yelled. Mavis sighed and decided to tell Natsu from the beginning.

"Four hundred years ago, Zeref was kind and known for helping people despite his death magic and other black art magic he knew. We fell in love during a joint effort to guard a village from a flying monster that was taking cattle and sometimes people. We got married and shortly after, we were blessed with you. We were so happy and excited to have a child." Mavis said with a small smile.

"But you were born with extremely high amounts of magic, and you inherited both of our magic. Every dark mage in Earthland was after your power. They cursed my magic, hoping to keep me from using my power to protect you, but it didn't have the results they wanted. The curse caused my dark magic to take control of me, causing me to start the Great War, and earn my title of Darkest Mage in Existence" Zeref said. Natsu now knew what Mavis meant about his magic controlling him.

"After Zeref lost control, I had to make a huge decision for your safety. I knew I couldn't protect you alone, especially with a war going on, you would have been taken and used for power and I didn't ever want that for you. One night a group of dark mages attacked us, I ran and found a spot to hide in a forest. I sealed the powers you got from us away and wrote a note explaining who you were and what happened, I asked whoever read the note to look out for you and told them to tell you when you were older to look for a symbol I drew in the bottom of the note, that symbol is now the guild mark. After I wrote the note, I used Fairy sphere and sealed you until someone who can protect you and raise you as their own came along." Mavis said with small tears in her eyes.

"After I regained control, and the war ended with my supposed death, I found your mother and she explained what happened. Shortly after I went into hiding here on Tenrou, and your mother created Fairy Tail. We would always meet here on the day of your birth, on our anniversary, and the day she sealed you."

"I looked for you until the day I died, and my spirit stayed here on Tenrou with Zeref. The day Igneel came along and unsealed you, I was so happy, I knew you were in great hands, after all, what is more protective than a dragon." Mavis said happily. "I was proud the day you joined Fairy Tail. Your entire life, we were watching over you, watching you grow, and we couldn't be more proud of the man you became." She finished.

Natsu was now in tears as he grabbed Mavis in a hug, he didn't stop Zeref when he joined in on the hug, he was just so happy to finally know his real parents and why they left him. His entire life Natsu wondered why his real parents left him, he feared they just hated him so they abandoned him, but now he knew the truth and couldn't be any happier.

After a while they all just sat there and talked. Natsu told them all about his adventures and friends and they told him stories of when they were young. After a while Mavis decided it was time for something special, she knew her son was ready for it. She looked at Zeref and he knew what she wanted to do and nodded with a smile.

"Natsu" they both said and he stopped telling his story of how he and Happy went fishing and caught a sea king (I made a one piece reference).

"Yeah" Natsu asked.

"We want to unseal your power and train you before you go back to Fairy Tail" Mavis said and Zeref nodded.

"I would love that, then I will be able to beat Erza and Gildarts" Natsu said with a smile "but how long will I be gone?"

"About two years for each of us, so about four years, maybe more depending how well everything goes" Zeref answered.

"Four years away from Fairy Tail? Erza will try to kill me when I get back for not saying anything… but I guess it's worth it, after all when I return ill be so strong she won't even be able to touch me!" Natsu cheered. Mavis and Zeref couldn't help but smile at their son.

"Good, now take off your vest and show me your back" Mavis said and Natsu did as he was told. She placed her hand in-between his shoulder blades. "RELEASE" she shouted and a blinding light engulfed Natsu.

Back at the guild

"What is happening?" Macau yelled as everyone's guild marks started to glow.

"I don't know but it feels warm and calming" Wakaba said.

"This feels familiar" Lucy said looking at her mark.

The scarf around grays neck started to glow as well and faded back to its original white color. Gray stared at the scarf and his guild mark. "Natsu, did you do this?" Gray asked silently.

The glowing soon stopped, and everyone felt a little happier. The master finally stepped out of his office and began to address the guild.

"Though he is not with us anymore he will always be watching over us. He would want us to live as the happy carefree guild we always were, not mope around like we have been doing" Makarov said.

'Maybe master is right, Natsu would want me to get stronger, and continue living.' Gray thought to himself, and for the first time since Natsu vanished, Gray smiled.

Back on Tenrou

Natsu stopped glowing, he felt…. Different, he felt the extra power in him, and he could think clearly. Natsu didn't just feel different, he looked different too. He had the same sharp teeth and slit pupils of a dragons, however his eyes were now bright green like Mavis's instead of their usual onyx. His muscles were slightly bigger but not by much, his hair was a darker shade of pink with streaks of blonde and black, but his most amazing change was his guild mark. His guild mark was still proudly displayed on his right shoulder, but it was no longer the red he got when he first joined the guild; the mark was now a golden-white with a black outline and thin reddish-orange swirls that moved all over like flames.

When Natsu saw how he looked, he was amazed.

"Wow, I look awesome, how did this happen?" he asked.

"Magic can affect a person in many ways, especially appearance, like how your dragon-slayer magic gives you some characteristics of a dragon. My hair actually used to be really dark shade of pink before I learned all my black magic" Zeref explained.

"Now for the fun part, you train with me first" Mavis said with a smile that could rival Mira's when she was planning something devious.

"Right!" Natsu cheered, not noticing the smile and followed his mother.

"This will be interesting, hope she goes a little easy on the kid" Zeref said and followed his wife and son with a happy smile.
