Chapter Eighteen

The Tower of 5

Harry stared at them, unable to move. She had never expected to see those faces again. But why were they here? Why now?

"Reaper, GrayHood, and Siren," she murmured.

The one with the Scythe, Reaper chuckled.

"Wow, I never thought that it was truly you standing in front of me," he said, "But then again, I know that look on your face all too well."

His eyes glanced around at the mages around them.

"Well, I would never had picked you as a…how do you call it?" he said, seemingly thinking, "Yes, a people person Rave."

Harry tightened her hands into fist.

"Harry," Gray said from behind her, "Who are those people?"

But the dark haired girl completely ignored Gray`s question as her eyes stayed focused upon the trio in front of her. Her mind was working quickly as to find out a reason why the trio was in front of her at this moment.

For all of them to be together again, she thought, I don't like this…

"Why are you here?" she asked.

Reaper glanced toward and before he could speak a large blast of fire charged straight up toward the new trio. GrayHood raised a hand and the flames were stopped by an invisible wall before it disappeared completely.

"What do we have here?" Reaper said, raising his eyebrow.

Natsu was walking toward them both of his fists blazing with fires. His eyes were glowing a strange amber colors as he glared at the trio.

"You wrecked our guild Hall," he growled out.

Siren let out a scoff.

"That Dragon Slayer again," she said.

Reaper blinked giving her a sideway glance.

"A Dragon Slayer eh?" he murmured, "I haven`t seen those trash in a while."

That hit a nerve on Natsu as the young man suddenly charged toward them.

"Don't call me trash," he yelled as he jumped toward them with his fist ensnared in flames.

"No, don't attack him," Harry yelled out.

Reaper`s hand reached for the handle of the Scythe that was on his back and then with a smirk, he drew it out as white glow started to appear around the blade. He stared up toward the oncoming Natsu before slashing it toward him…

Only for the blade to clash against Harry`s crystallized arm, causing some cracks to appear upon it, and the later had kicked Natsu in the chest to throw him backward landing on the ground on his back.

Siren had raised eyebrows at the display and GrayHood`s smile seemed to lessen as Reaper narrowed his eyes.

"You won`t kill anyone here Reaper," Harry told him, her eyes taking a reddish glow.

"You`re protecting Dragon Slayers now," Reaper said a smirk appearing on his face, "Well that`s certainly new…opposed to the fact that we used to kill them."

"This is the past," Harry said, "and that`s where it should stay."

Reaper withdrew his Scythe.

"Well, I won't get into a fight with you," he said, "That`s not why I am here."

The crystal upon Harry`s skin retreated, transforming into flesh as the dark haired girl glared at him.

"Why are you here?"

"Your brother sends us," Siren answered, "He wants us all back together again."

Harry widens her eyes.

"What?"

"He called to us, seven years ago," Reaper continued, "I was truly surprised to see him alone considering you hardly left his side in the past. He told me you two got separated some decades back and he went to that place where your signature seemed to be strong to find you again…"

Harry frowned a little before the memory came back to her.

Tenrou Island, she thought, That would mean, when I went to free Mavis from Sacrilege. He was able to feel traces of my magic from that time…this was probably why he stayed there till Acnologia came according to Erza.

"He told us he waited for you there for a long time but other flies had managed to give him an access to step out of the Island," Reaper told her.

"And if I refuse?" Harry asked.

"We destroy this entire city along with your little friends and the Dragon Slayer," Reaper told her his eyes glancing at the Fairy Tail group behind Harry.

The girl tightened her jaws.

"C…Can I have some time to think about it," she said, "At least, for old time sake."

Reaper stared at her, his eyes unblinking.

"You have two days," he said, putting his Scythe back where it was before, "Meet us at the Tower of 5. If you don't show up, we start our attacks upon the city and turn it to ashes."

Then GrayHood reached upon Reaper and Siren shoulders before the trio disappeared.

"W…What the…they`re gone?" Macao said.

"Some sort of teleportation magic," Gray added.

Natsu who was seating up, massing his stomach and he glared at Harry`s back.

"What`s the big idea?" he asked, "I could have taken him."

Harry gave him a glare that makes his blood curl.

"You should be more grateful that I saved your life Dragon Slayer," she spat at him.

Gray stepped forward.

"Okay, who where those people?" he asked, "And how did you know them?"

"This is not of your business," Harry said before she walked away leaving the rest of the guild to stare at her back.

"Seriously, what the heck was that all about?"

The guild was back inside their hall and had put most of the stuffs back into place. Natsu himself was seating down upon a chair with Happy beside him. He was eating flames from the plate in front of him as Lucy and Mira watched him.

"I never knew they were others like Juvia out there," Lucy said, thinking about the strange water woman that had flooded the guild.

"Juvia is also shocked," The blue haired mage told her appearing on her other side.

"EH? Since when where you here?" Lucy asked shocked at her sudden appearance.

"I wonder what kind of connection they got to Harry," Gray spoke, dressed in his underwear again with a serious expression on his face.

Lucy sweat dropped at him and Natsu suddenly pointed.

"Get some clothes on you stripper," he yelled at him.

"What are you going to do about it charcoal breath," Gray growled out.

The two locked head as they growled at each other, getting ready to fight.

"Seriously those two just don't know when to quit eh," Carla said shaking her head.

Wendy let out an awkward chuckle.

"Then they won`t be themselves if they suddenly stopped fighting each other," the young Sky Dragon Slayer said.

The Exceed simply shook her head.

"I guess boys will be boys," she said.

Then the Exceed suddenly stopped smiling as a sudden heavy feeling settled upon her. Her eyes widened slightly as all the noises around her simply went muffled and then an image was imprinted within her mind.

A dragon roared, the dark form standing out from above the city of Magnolia…

Many members of the guilds lying about as buildings burned around them, as people screamed…

Blood…So much blood… all of it was pooling on the ground.

She saw Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Erza, thought their clothes were battered and ripped, crouching around a fallen person on the ground and small lights were falling around them everywhere…

"Carla," a small hand touched her back.

The white Exceed was suddenly snapped from whatever vision she was having as the noise of the guild came back full force, disorienting her a bit. She blinked, glancing around herself.

"W…What?"

"You…You were out of it for a few seconds," Wendy told her, and Carla can hear the worry in her voice.

"Oh…sorry," Carla told her, "I just had something on my mind."

W…Was that a premonition? She thought, Magnolia is going to be attacked by a dragon and who was that person that was on the ground in front of Natsu and the others…Who was going to die?

"That`s it," Natsu yelled out, snapping of whatever fight he was going to have with Gray, "I am going to find her and give her a piece of my mind, she had no right getting in my way."

"Natsu," Makarov called out.

The pink haired Dragon Slayer turned toward him.

"Gramps,"

"Bring Harry back here," he said, from where he was seated, "There is something I want to talk to her about."

"Sure," Natsu said, "Let`s go Happy."

"Aye sir," the small blue Exceed said.

The two ran out of the guild, well Natsu was running and Happy was flying beside him. Makarov who was seating there, frowned slightly to himself.

I`ve only heard bits of pieces of the conversation they were having, he thought, but something about those three that came today…worries me.

It didn't take Natsu long to find Harry, after all, he was following the girl`s scent. He found her by the bridge, looking down toward the water, her dark hair seemingly hiding her face.

"Hey, there you are," he said as he approached with Happy flying beside him.

Harry looked up at him and Natsu stopped walking, his eyes catching the fresh tear tracks upon the girl`s face. Noticing him, Harry quickly turned around from him and he knew that she was removing the tears.

"W…What are you doing here?" she asked.

Natsu didn`t answer her as he continued to stare at her.

"I have something I wanted to ask you," he told her.

"If this is about earlier…," she started but Natsu cut her off.

"How did you know Igneel?" he asked her.

She stopped what she was saying before turning toward him, her brown eyes showing surprise.

"What?"

"He is the Fire Dragon who taught me magic," Natsu told her, "When we first met, you said that you knew him. How is that exactly?"

Harry let out a soft chuckle.

"Igneel huh," she said, "Well, he saved my life when I was a child."

Natsu can feel his surprise growing.

"How?"

The girl turned toward him.

"My village was attacked by Dragons," she told him, "They destroyed the entire place killing my mother and everyone…I was left behind because I was believed dead…Igneel found me in the wreckage of the Village as he was flying pass it. I was only a child back then. With the Dragon Civil Wars going on in the world, humans around the worlds get dragged into it and my Village was one of the few hundreds of places that were destroyed back then."

The young girl seemingly was lost in her memories.

"I was scared of him at first," she said, "since he was a Dragon after all, but he was a kind Dragon unlike the others I`ve grown to hear about, and I grew to like him. He taught me how to control my Magic for anytime I was scared how angry, it went out of control…killing everything that was close to me."

Natsu had a warm feeling in his heart hearing her talk about Igneel. It was the same dragon he grew up with, taking care of him when he was a child. Then he narrowed his eyes.

"He taught you Dragon Slayer magic?" he said.

Harry shook her head.

"No," she said, "I can`t produce pure Dragon Fire as you do, Natsu Dragneel. He simply taught me control because I was a danger to myself, and to others for not knowing how to control my own magical power. All magical energy have the same roots after all, you have to be able to control your own power before you can use it."

Natsu let out grin.

"Wow, I guess that makes us siblings in a way," he said.

The girl looked at him shocked.

"What?"

"Igneel taught us both, even thought you didn`t learn Dragon Slayer magic," he told her, his large grin still on his face, "I guess I should call you big sister now right, and we`re even in the same guild now, aren`t we lucky or what?"

"Aye," Happy said.

Harry lowered her head, not meeting his eyes. That caused Natsu to suddenly become concerned.

"Hey is everything alright?" he asked her.

"I…I…thank you, Natsu," she whispered.

Natsu put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey don`t worry about it," he told her, "Hey, c`mon back to the guild. Gramps got something he has to talk to you about."

He took hold of the dark haired girl`s hand and pulled her along with him.

"Oy, Natsu…," he heard Harry said, in protest thought she didn`t resist him, letting the Dragon Slayer pull her along.

Meanwhile

The trio Reaper, Siren and GrayHood arrived beside the large Tower that stood outside of Magnolia.

"Well Reaper, what are we going to do?" Siren asked him.

Reaper snorted.

"Don't tell me you haven`t noticed it," he said, "Rave is not the same guy that we knew in the past."

GrayHood let out a stifling laughter.

"I think we can all see that," he said.

"The curse had changed him," Siren said, a light frown on her face.

"But the thing that disgust me more is that he protected that Dragon Slayer," Reaper said, not keeping his anger out of his voice, "He had spend too much time with those pitiful mages. Rave had grown soft, and I am pretty sure that he will refuse to come."

"He stopped me from killing those Mages earlier," Siren said, in agreement.

"I have seen his handiwork," Reaper told her, "Which is why he is going to need a push in the right direction, Sanath, it`s time to call the last member of our little group."

The fourth member who was seating on the ground behind them looked up before nodding. Then a large seal appeared underneath him as his magical energy started to make his hair dance.

Somewhere…

In a dark cave, a large growl echoed from within as two white eyes shone from the depth of the darkness, then with an earth shattering roar echoed, a dark shape flew out of the cave and into the sky…

A danger approaches...
