A New Purpose
"Rest in Peace...Papa."
Natsu spent the next week after he executed his father, exterminating the last dragon on Remnant, burying his corpse inside the crater, in which he died in, by filling up the hole in the ground with dirt. He used no Aura energy to bury his father...he deserved a worthy resting place...so he only uses his bare hand, even with his broken arm, to fill in the crater. After the crater is filled the young prince grabs a growing tree and plants it right on the grave, then he sparks a flame on his left index finger and begins to write on the bark.
'Here lies Igneel Dragraal...The Great Fire Dragon King...He will be missed.' Natsu reads as he writes.
The boy finishes writing then takes a few steps back to observe his father's final resting place. It's the perfect grave for the fallen king...one lonely crimson tree surrounded by black ash. One dragon living in a world corrupted in darkness...the pink haired boy goes on his knees in front of the grave and bows his head...giving his final respects to his father before he leaves for good.
For a full minute Natsu pays his respects then he decides that he must move on...he doesn't know where he should go but he can't stay here...so Natsu gets off the ground and begins the walk back to the cave he and Igneel called home...leaving his father behind to finally rest a well deserved sleep.
...
...
...
It takes Natsu all day to get back home...the sun went down and the moon is in full display in the night sky. As he walks into his home he looks around the cave and reminiscences over the experiences he and his, recently dead, father made together. He is covered in sweat, dirt, and exhausted so he decides to call it a day and decides to go to sleep.
'What do I do now...I'm alone and scared...I miss you Papa...and Mama.' The boy thinks as he lies down on his leaf bed and cries himself to sleep.
Natsu's Mind
While the boy sleeps his mind creates a nightmare for him to suffer through the night.
"Hello?" He whispers as he opens his eyes to find darkness all around him.
He wakes up in a realm of darkness...alone and terrified of what lies in the shadows around him. As the boy frantically looks around for anyone or thing with him in the darkness, he hears a low growl.
"W..who's there?" He mutters grabbing for his revolver, but finds that his gun is nowhere in sight, then he hears another growl closer and louder then the last.
"Stay back...I'm warning YOU!" The boy threatens as six crimson eyes reveals themselves in front of Natsu.
Natsu thinks about if the owner of the eyes is a friend or foe...then realizes mid-thought that all Creatures of Grimm have crimson eyes. Seconds after Natsu's discovery the darkness fades away and lightness takes it's place...as the darkness fades the owner of six eyes emerges from the darkness. A large reptilian beast reveals itself staring into Natsu's eyes with a killer intent.
"Stay AWAY!" Natsu cries as he runs away from the beast.
The beast watches Natsu flee as it flies into the air, using a pair of bat-like wings. It doesn't take long before the flying reptile catches up to the fleeing boy and it fires a black flame ball in front of Natsu's path.
Natsu is too slow to react as the ball explodes in front of him and sends him flying a few inches away from the blast. Natsu grunts in pain as he falls on his back...for some reason he feels extremely fatigued..and he can't get up.
'Get up...the monster is going to get YOU!' Natsu orders himself as the beast lands in front of him, sadly Natsu's body doesn't move a muscle as the beast slowly walks up to him...almost if the beast is playing with it's prey.
Natsu starts to panic as he struggles to get up or to even crawl way...but the monster finally stops in front of the small human. Natsu watches as the monster opens it's creepy mouth that opens all the way to it's neck.
"N...no...please...I don't want to die..." Natsu mumbles as fear takes over Natsu's mind...but the beast shows no mercy as it roars in his face then consumes him whole.
Reality
Natsu wakes up from his nightmare screaming and breathing heavily.
'It's just a dream...a dream...' Natsu calms himself as he looks around and finds himself back on his leaf bed in a cave.
'That monster...what was it...no...was that thing that Papa was fighting?' He thinks over what he saw in his dream.
'Why would it be in my dream?' He questions as he analyzes his memories...then his remembers the explosion that broke his arm and the explosion in his dream.
"The monster isn't dead..." The prince realizes as his expression darkens at the thought of Igneel's killer is still on the loose.
After Natsu's discovery he rises off the ground and stumbles toward the entrance of the cave...'I'll find that wanna-be dragon...and burn it to ash.' He declares bitterly, strangely different from his usual happy self.
As Natsu approaches the exit he finds a small backpack on the ground and in his way, his attitude changes dramatically as he tilts his head in curiosity and sits in front of the pack then examines. The pack is fairly simple...it's small...tan...and it has a small brown belt that comes from the bottom of the pack, and buckles, with a simple belt buckle, at the middle of the pack...holding the pack's flap in place. What made it unique was the small black dragon head emblem designed into the bottom left of the flap of the backpack, which was identical to the emblem on his revolver. He slowly unbuckles the pack and lifts the flap, he finds something white and scaly-like folded neatly in the pack. He takes the scaly object and realizes that it's a scarf as a piece of folded paper falls out onto the floor.
Natsu uses the scarf to make a makeshift sling for his broken arm before he picks of the paper and unfolds it.
'Dear Natsu, Your father left you this scarf to remember him by...just know that he will always be with you like I am with you...my sweet salmon son. Anyway, I know you will travel the world again so I prepared you this backpack and left you several items to help you on your journey. I left you some spare clothes...a tooth brush and tooth paste...oh, remember to brush your teeth everyday after you take a bath so you don't rot you teeth away...and I also left a map of Remnant so you don't get lost. I'm sorry that I can't be with you right now Natsu but know that your mother and father will always love you and we miss you very, very much. Just make new friends in Remnant and protect others who can't protect themselves...I know you are a good boy and will make the right choices...I love you Natsu...Love MN.' Natsu reads, and he swears that he can hear his mother's angelic voice as he reads.
Natsu's smiles brightly and hugs the backpack with his left arm...'Thank you Mama...Papa...I love you both so much.'
Natsu happily buckles up the pack and straps it on his back and walks out the cave. He smiles again in response to the rays of sunlight touching his face, 'I'll finish what you started Papa...' He declares looking into the clear blue sky above him but unexpectedly his stomach growls loudly.
"But first I should go get some food first..." He mumbles then walks into the woods to find his next meal.
Somewhere dark and empty...
There is a place of complete darkness and emptiness that the humans call...The Void. Ironically, this place is the home of a being that records all the deaths and souls born into the world...and SHE is called The Grim Reaper.
She makes sure that everything lives and dies in the world...making sure that the world is in balance like a certain green haired goddess. She knows about her goody-two-shoes counter part from above, but she never goes up to visit, or really cares what she's doing, she doesn't like her for some odd reason. Her good ways just ticks her off, she's too nice for her own good.
The Grim Reaper rivals in beauty against Mother Nature, she looks exactly the same age as her, endows the same G-cup breasts and luscious curves, and it seems the goddesses of this world have a thing for kimonos because she is also wearing her own kimono. Her's is completely black with gray designs of leaves and branches all over the cloth with a big white ribbon tied to a bow under her large assets, but she wears her kimono more loosely that she makes it falls off her shoulders, showing off her soft pale skin and some of her breasts. If she didn't support her breasts with her arms then the kimono would of surely dropped to the floor in a blink of an eye.
Compared to Mother Nature's appearance...The Grim Reaper looks more shameful and lazier than her's...her long silver hair is messy and undone, which ends at her lower back, and her steel gray eyes always looks either droopy, or lustful, giving her the sexy just-woke-up-look. Currently her eyes looks strangely lustful at the white globe in front of her, similar to Mother Nature's display. She's watching a pink haired seven year-old sneaking around some tall red grass.
"That boy is just so adorable that it should be crime to let such a cute thing run around alone, I just want to take him away and keep him here with me...I'll take real ~GOOD~ care of him. I see this one becoming one hunk of a man when he grows up." She moans to herself as she imagines what the boy would look like when he grows up.
'Ahh I can't take it anymore...I want to know what this boy looks like...' She gives in as she swipes her hand in front of the globe till she finds a tall man with spiky pink hair wearing, a scaly-white scarf over his neck, a black open vest with gold trimmings, a waist coat with the same gold trim held by a brown belt with a silver diamond buckle. White trousers that end at his knees with black ribbon ties at the end and black open toed sandals. She ogles over the sight of his strong arms, well define abs, and especially his warm expression planted on his face...taking in all the details of the man in front of him.
"~Oh yes...this one is mine!~" She moans seductively at the man in front of her and licks her lips...thinking of all the naughty things she and the man in front of her can do together.
71 years later...
Natsu traveled the world, hunting for the monster he saw in his dream, for such a long time he went around the world THREE times. He searched, triple checked, every cave and hiding place, in which a wanna-be dragon would hide in, on every landmass on the map his mother gave him. He encountered Grimm and sometimes the occasional human or faunus on his travels. When humans or faunus saw him in action, they couldn't believe what their eyes were witnessing. When the strange man faced any Grimm...they would immediately turn the other way and fled for their soulless lives. That's when rumors popped around the world about at strange haired huntsman that the Grimm feared... which gave Natsu the nickname The Dread Hunter.
Natsu had this effect on the Grimm because he doesn't kill...he left his victims wounded and brutally beaten...so when those victims saw Natsu on the battlefield, they would flee knowing full well that they stand no chance against him. He misinterpreted Igneel's teachings when he said to kill when absolutely necessary...he thought he meant to kill if he was on the brink of death...since no one or creature put him in that situation, he doesn't kill. It was a weird lesson for him but he decided to roll with it.
Over the long 78 years Natsu finally grew from his small frame and into a tall 16 year old teen with the strength to take down hoards of Grimm singlehandedly and the looks to make the opposite sex fall head over heels for him with just one smile. The years did some good for The Dread Hunter...his mother gave him a new outfit to fit his new body, that looks exactly the same as the outfit a certain Goddess of Death saw on her globe screen.
He currently walks aimlessly in a green forest holding his tan backpack, only by the right strap, 'I've searched this whole forest three times and found nothing...I think it's time to move on...but first I'll deal with this stalker.' He sighs as he looks into the trees.
"You! In the trees...come down here and face me or I'll come up there and give you the beat-down of a lifetime." Natsu calls into the trees like a madman with his left hand balled into a fist, shaking it in an aggressive manner.
Natsu's threat works as a woman in red jumps down from the trees in front of him and stands in front of him with a sly smile in her face. The woman looks to be a year younger than him, she has short curly black hair with bangs that covers one of her fiery orange eyes. She wears a thigh-high dark crimson red dress with gold trimmings that is held up by a red ribbon tied to her neck, red arms gloves with the same crimson color and trimmings as her dress, on her waist is a black belt that holds a small satchel bag held by a gold belt buckle, and black heels with an ankle bracelet holding little diamonds.
"I'm impressed...how long did you know I was watching you?" The stranger asks.
"For one full hour...anyway...my name's Natsu Dragneel...nice to meet you miss stalker." Natsu causally greets, waving his hand at her.
The stranger ticks at the name, stalker, but quickly recovers to hide her irritation, "That's not very nice to call a girl...Natsu. My name is Cinder Fall, pleased to make your acquaintance...you have a very unique name...Dragneel was it?"
Natsu scratches his head in embarrassment and blushes a little, "Yeah...it's a silly name, my dad was a huge dragon expert and decided to give me a name that had Drag in it." He lies, horribly.
Thankfully his mother sent him a letter, after he gained his nickname, warning him to never tell others about his parents...telling others that his father is the King of all, now extinct, Dragons and her mother is the Goddess of the World would just give him a free ticket to a padded room with his own straight jacket...and, more importantly, it will get him into more trouble down the road. Natsu wanted to tell everyone about his awesome parents but he complies to her wish and thinks of the first lie he could think of when someone asks about his name or family...it's a shame that he's not a good lier.
Cinder smiles again watching Natsu blush, 'Cute...I might have to get use to the hair but I like this one.' She can obviously notice that something was up...she specializes in espionage after all...but she lets her new servant have his secrets.
"Your father must love dragons then...so what are you doing out here all by yourself Natsu?" She changes the subject.
'...Oh man...I thought I was a goner there.' Natsu sighs in relief at Cinder's response.
"I'm looking for this big monster...I saw in my dream when I was little...I've searching for a long time now but I haven't found anything." He explains using hand gestures to emphasize how big was the monster.
"A monster? What does this creature look like?" Cinder plays along, waiting for her moment to reel in Natsu.
"It looks like a dragon but it's a wanna-be dragon because it doesn't have it's two front feet. It has bat wings with six red eyes and a skull looking face...OH and it's mouth can open all the way back to his neck." Natsu explains excitingly recalling his life changing dream.
'Now's my chance.' Cinder thinks as she begins her plan, "That sounds awfully familiar to me Natsu...I think I can recall encountering this creature you speak of..." She lies as she rubs her chin.
"Really?! Do you know where it is now!?" Natsu jumps up and down, falling right into her hands.
"Maybe...but it's all coming back to me...tell you what. How about you come with me and we'll find this creature together." She offers.
Natsu immediately nods his head yes, "That would be awesome! When are we..." Natsu stops mid-thought as he hears something in the distance.
"Is something wrong Natsu?" Cinder asks as she watches Natsu pull out a gun from his holster on his waist.
'What a peculiar firearm...I wonder how he uses it?' Cinder wonders over The Dread Hunter's firearm.
"I forgot what it's called but it looks like a bear...a Urso...Urpie..." Natsu struggles to think of the correct Grimm name...scratching his head with the barrel of the revolver.
"Ursa..." Cinder answers...'He's not the smartest in the world but he does have a incredible skill of sensing Grimm...I didn't notice the Grimm till now...I wonder if this skill works on people too.'
"Right...Ursa...I sense one is coming at us from the north." He corrects himself pointing his gun in front of him.
'Now let's see how this one fights...' Cinder plans as she activates her damsel-in-distress mode.
"Oh no...I don't know how to fight. Natsu what do I do?!" Cinder acts as she dramatically falls to her knees.
'This girl is weird...before she was smiling at me weird, but now she's crying for help.' He notices her strange actions.
Natsu, being to good man and gentleman that he is, he goes over to the fallen woman and rubs her shoulders to comfort her, "Don't worry Cinder...I won't let anything happen to you. You're my new friend and I'll protect you with my life, I promise you." Natsu comforts her, giving her his biggest smile.
Cinder blushes, but she wasn't acting...she is truly blushing at The Dread Hunter's words, his warm touch and smile makes her feel safe...no one has ever made her feel this precious and special in her life before. She starts to feel proud of herself for picking such fine servant. She's going to make sure that after this...interruption...is dealt with. She will make Natsu her's and he will serve all her needs at her beck and call.
"Thank you Natsu..." She mumbles.
"Here...hold on to my stuff till I come back...that scarf is special to me so take care of it." Natsu wraps his precious scaly scarf around Cinder's neck then drops his backpack next to her.
Cinder hides behind the scarf to keep another blush hidden as she nods to Natsu, "Come back safe Natsu." She responds shyly.
"I'll be back before you know it!" Natsu assures as he runs toward the Ursa's scent.
As Natsu runs into the trees Cinder gets up and begins to follow the pinky, 'Hmmm...this scarf smells like him...I might keep this to myself.' She decides as she, unknowingly, takes a deep breath, inhaling the wonderful smell of the scarf.
"I'm definitely keeping this..." She mumbles as she picks up Natsu's backpack then follows his trail.
"HA! Found you...!" Natsu shouts as he comes into a clearing inside the woods...meeting a large Ursa with spikes poking out from it's back with a skull-like face, decorated with red tribal-like marks around his face, staring back at him. Natsu fought all kinds of Ursas before...big and small...but this one looks like a cripple. The right side of it's face is grayer than it's left...suggesting the beast lost that part of it's face in a battle some time ago...and even it's left leg is just a black numb...so now the Ursa has to stand on it's remaining three paws.
"Whoa...you don't look good...I think we should fight this one another day..." Natsu suggests as he holsters he gun then he turns around and heads back into the woods, he doesn't like fighting enemies that can't fight back so when he gets himself in this kind of situation, he'll just leave the battlefield.
The Ursa seems offended of it's prey walking away so it roars, trying to get his attention, as it lunges toward him with it's front right claw ready to take a swipe at him, but before it's claw can land on target, Natsu gives it a good round house kick to the face, causing the bear to fly through two trees behind it.
"Hey, there is always a time to fight...but this is not the right time." Natsu lectures the soulless being as it recovers from the hit...the kick from the man cracked everywhere on it's skull.
The beast shakes it's head and roars in response, not giving up on the fight, it charges at The Dread Hunter with the same speed as before.
"Fine! You want dust, then I'm happy to deliver." Natsu gives in as he pulls out his revolver, aims, then shoots twice. The bullets pierces the beast's skull-face and it drops dead on the dirt. The battle is...over...strangely.
Natsu shakes his head in disappointment at his adversary, ''You won't be waking up for a week...so think about your lost and learn from it.'' Natsu has this strange habit of lecturing his opponents after he defeats them...maybe this is because of the lack of social exposure he desperately needs.
"Hey Natsu!" He hears behind him and finds Cinder poking her head around a tree behind him.
...
..
.
"How far away is this Ursa?" Cinder asks as she walks into the forest for what seems like an hour, luckily, she hears two loud clacks just ahead of her.
"It's about time he eliminated the threat..." She mutters as she peeks around a tree, finding Natsu shaking his head to a fallen Ursa.
"Hey, Natsu!" She calls to the pink haired prince.
The Dread Hunter turns toward her and waves, "I got it Cinder...problem solved!" He informs while holstering his revolver.
'That Ursa isn't dead yet...I swear I saw it move just now.' She notices as she shakes her head and points at the body.
"I don't think it's dead." She points out.
"Of course it's not dead...I just put it asleep. It'll wake up in a week from now." He assures.
"Are you crazy! Kill it already!" She watches as the Ursa twitches on the ground.
Natsu turns back to the beast and looks at it mockingly, "It's fine Cinder, it's not li-" As Natsu explains his position, the Ursa tackles him to the ground with its right claw buried in his chest.
"NATSU!" She calls as she runs around the tree.
'Get off my servant...' Cinder commands as her eyes starts to glow a bright yellow as she opens her hand then aims it toward the Ursa, charging up a fire ball the size of her fist, then fires it toward it. The bears looks up and finds the fireball exploding in his face. The surprise attack pushes it off Natsu but it craves it's claw across his chest and to his stomach before letting go.
Natsu screams again at the stinging pain all over his chest and stomach as he tries to cover his chest wound but to no avail, the wound is too deep and large for just his hands to cover...it was just submerging his hands in his own blood. Trying to ignore the pain he looks behind him to the source of the fireball and finds Cinder standing behind him with a grim look in her eye and his backpack next to her feet.
"Stay...back." He mumbles as his vision blurs.
Cinder looks down to Natsu with worry as she kneels next to him and examines his wounds, 'He lost too much blood...skin's pale...and his pulse is dying...I got to seal the wound if I want to save him.' She notes as she ignites a fire in her hand and burns his life-threating wound.
Natsu responds with his loudest roar of agony, trying to wiggle his body out of her hands.
"I'm almost done Natsu...just a little...longer...there..." Cinder keeps her cool as she closes the wound completely and finds Natsu breathing heavy with his eyes closed and sweating.
"You're going to be okay..." Cinder assures with a crooked smile looking at her servant.
The Ursa breaks the touching moment by roaring one last battle cry as it charges Cinder in a last minute attack.
Cinder glares at the bear and ticks in annoyance, "Begone pest!" She orders bitterly as she charges up another fireball at the beast, but before she could launch the ball, the flame gets sucked into Natsu's mouth. Cinder's eyes widen as Natsu shallows the flame.
'What just happen?!' She panics as she charges another fireball, watching the beast hobble closer and closer to her.
"I'm all...FIRED UP!" She hears Natsu yell behind her as he lunges himself toward the beast with his entire body engulfed in a crimson flames.
The beast quickly reacts by swiping his claw upward at Natsu's face, he gets reckless and gives no effort to dodge the attack. He grunts as, luckily, only two of it's five sharp nails slices two jagged lines going through his right eye, completely destroying his eye, and sending him upward. Natsu smiles as he uses this to his advantage, as he launches upward he uses all of his remaining strength to kick the Ursa's chin...his idiotic plan works as his feet violently rips it's head off it's body. As he sees the head fly into the air he flips back and lands on his feet breathing as fast as he can with blood streaming down the right side of his face.
Cinder watches her servant in slight awe...'Just who are Natsu Dragneel?' She asks as Natsu begins to fall to the ground. She reacts quickly and catches him then rests his head on her soft pale thighs.
Natsu gives her a crooked smile, "I got'm Cinder..." He whispers and he coughs up blood.
'He already lost too much blood...he's not going to make it.' Cinder realizes with a frown on her lips.
"You...can...keep..it." The Dread Hunter plays the pronoun game.
Cinder's squints her eyes and nudges him, "What?"
"My scarf...I...heard...you earlier...you can...have it." Natsu smiles.
"You heard that..." Cinder mumbles with a small blush.
"You'll need it...more...than...me...anyway." He assures as he slowly closes his eyes.
"Natsu!" Cinder nudges as him as she puts her head on his chest to hear his heartbeat.
"I'm...glad I...met you...Cin...der." He confesses as he breathes his final breath.
"Natsu...no Natsu wake up...NATSU!" Cinder cries as tears stream down her face...she rarely shows her true emotions...but Natsu broke her shell when he promised to protect her.
She stops shaking his corpse and hugs him tightly as she cries..."Please don't leave me...I don't want to be alone...NATSU!" She moans as she oddly feels his body becoming extremely light.
She opens her eyes and finds Natsu evaporating into a golden smoke. She tries to contain the smoke but it eventually dissipates into the air. Cinder curls up into a ball clutching his scarf like she life depended on it.
...
..
.
"Natsu..." She cries into the scarf as she feels a loud rumble beneath her. She stops crying and rubs her eyes to wipe away the tears. Her new friend is dead but she still has a destiny to fulfill.
'The Grimm...they found me!' She realizes as she slowly stands up and looks for an escape route. She finds a long dirt road with a small tan backpack in front.
'Here...hold on to my stuff till I get back.' His voice echoes in her head.
Without a second thought she grabs the backpack and runs down the road as fast as she can.
The Void...
"Where am I?" Natsu asks himself looking around the of realm of darkness.
After Natsu closed his eyes, in Cinder's lap, he felt Cinder's warm touch disappeared into nothing...and even the pain finally stopped. He fell in a state of bliss and peace...but when he opened his eyes he found himself in a familiar place of darkness.
"You humans called this place The Void...but I call this place my home." An angelic voice speaks from the darkness.
'Mom?...what happened when I was gone?' He asks as he looks for the source of the voice then finds a beautiful woman, an inch taller than him and loosely wearing a black kimono, walking toward him with a lustful look in her steel eyes.
"W...who are you?" He asks, blushing madly from her captivating look.
'That's not Mom...that is NOT Mom!' He panics looking at the woman before him.
"Nice to meet you too handsome...you humans called Grim Reaper so you can call me that.." She tries to seduce Natsu by lowering her kimono just enough to give a good view of her soft pale skin and squeezable breasts.
"Gulp...n..nice to meet you Ms. Reaper...my name is...Natsu..Dragneel." He stutters trying to redirect his eyes away from The Grim Reaper's breasts that tempt him to attack them. He feels oddly hot inside and excited...his mother warned him of this...if a woman ever makes him feel this way then run the other way...because they were trying to take his soul...Someone is a little bit too overprotective of her son.
"~Oh you can drop the 'Ms' stud...what we're about to do will get us ~extremely~ familiar with each other." She moans in his ear as she presses her naughty pillows on his strong chest...causing Natsu to fall backwards onto...a bed? A black bed with silver sheets and pillows.
'Where did this bed come from?!' He asks as he looks for a way out...but everywhere is shrouded in darkness.
"What's wrong baby...you're getting...a little...~hot~" She teases as she plants her breasts on top of his face.
'BABY!? Think Natsu THINK! Our soul must be SAVED! ' Natsu panics as he struggles to free himself from his soft prison. Goddess of Death moans as her 'lover' plays with her breasts.
"You're such a tease Na...moan...tsu!" She moans as she hugs his head, forcing his head deeper into her cleavage.
'Mom...I'm so sorry...I tried to fight her...but she's TOO strong...please forgive me...' Natsu gives up on escaping and accepts his fate.
...
...
...
"GET OFF MY SON THIS INSTANT!" The two hear behind him.
The Grim Reaper turns around blushing and breathing heavily and finds an angry green haired woman in a kimono standing a few feet away from her with her arms crossed..."Arhh! What do you want...don't you see that me and my lover here are having an intimidate moment! Come back in a few hours or days...I don't know how long, it all depends on mister hunk down here..." She irritatingly explains whispering the last part with a perverted grin on her lips.
'Yeah right that this hunk of a man came from that woman.' She removes that idea from her head as she looks back down and finds that Natsu is missing.
"MOM!" Natsu sneaks away from his captor and sprints toward his mother then hugs her with his head in her cleavage...unknowingly trapping himself in another soft prison.
"You are really becoming a thorn in my side...It's absolutely ridiculous that the man, in your sad excuse for a cleavage, is your son.." She complains as she watches the woman pet her son's head.
"Thank you so much! She would of taken my soul if you didn't show up!" Natsu thanks unintentionally motorboating his own mother.
"I...k..know Nats..u...Mama's...he..re." She comforts trying to keep her composure from her son's 'loving' hug.
'Take his soul?...THIS WOMAN!' Death realizes that Mother Nature sabotaged her plan before it even started.
"You fiend! You brainwashed your own son to fear the pleasures of FLESH!" She accuses.
...
Natsu didn't care how his mom found him...he was just happy to see her again.
'She hasn't changed one bit since I last saw her.' Natsu grins as she hugs his mother tightly...he really misses his mom.
He couldn't fully understand what she and The Grim Reaper were talking about...but he could make out some parts, " I was going to take his...and use my...till he...all over...then I'll use my...to take his...so deep...he'll...then we'll do it all over again." He hears Ms. Reaper rant, probably, about how she would take his soul.
...
"You should be ashame of yourself...he's years younger than you!" The Goddess of the World scolds.
"He's your son...so he's a god himself! Age doesn't matter for Gods...we live forever for crying out loud!" Reaper counters.
"...But it matters to me! He's my son and it's my job to protect him!" She hesitates over the Reaper's words.
"Ah ha...you hesitated...so he's not your son...I never thought you would break the rules...Mother of Remnant..." Reaper smirks at the discovery.
"So what if Natsu is not my son by blood...he is my son by bond...I didn't come here to bicker with you...I want a favor." Mother Nature snaps.
"Okay...ask away." Reaper gives in...she just wanted her to leave so she and the man in her cleavage can get to the good stuff.
"Give my son a second chance..." She pleads.
"Pardon, like a second life?"
"Yes! Give my son a second chance to live his life...he died too young..." She clarifies looking at her with sad eyes.
"You know that I can't do that...everyone dies and lives once in this world...I can't give anyone...even your son, a second chance."
"Can't you just break that rule just once?! Just this one time...please...give my son the life he deserves." She cries holding her son tightly.
"..." Reaper takes a moment to think about it.
"..."
"..."
"You love your son that much..." She asks.
"Of course...Natsu is the best thing that ever happen to me...he showed me the true feeling of love." Mother Nature assures.
"Fine."
"What?"
"I'll give him a second change...but I get to access to his mind." She says.
"What do you mean?"
"It's ~so~ boring in here...I need some sort of entertainment...watching Natsu's life adventure is just the thing I'm looking for." She explains like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Thank you!" She smiles brightly...similar to her son's...then breaks her son's hug and looks into his eyes.
"Natsu...I need you to go with that woman over there okay...she won't take your soul...I promise...I love you Natsu." She explains as she gives her son a loving kiss in his forehead.
"I'm leaving again...aren't I." Natsu realize, looking at his mother with sad eyes.
"I know you don't want to go...but you still need to find that dragon you wanted to defeat...right Natsu?"
"Yeah! You're right...after I defeat that wanna-be I'll come back here to live with you!" The Prince declares as he gives his mother a till-next-time hug and walks over to Death.
"So what are we doing?" He asks Death.
"We're bringing you back to the land of the living good-looking." She vaguely explains as she kisses Natsu passionately while she puts her arms around his neck.
Natsu's eyes widen as she sticks her tongue in his mouth and roams around. He doesn't know what to do, so he closes his eyes and moans to the kiss.
'Mmmm...something tastes like vanilla.' He notices as he shallows something.
'I can get used to this.' Death admits as she breaks the the kiss and licks her lips.
"HEY! STOP KISSING MY SON!" Mother Nature yells ready to give Death a piece of her mind.
Natsu starts to feel tired and lies down the bed, "I feel tired...what's happening to me?"
"Kiss of Death handsome...I'll see you later." She explains as she winks at him before he closes his eyes.
"You better explain yourself...RIGHT NOW!" Natsu's mother yells with her arms crossed and a ticked off expression planted on her face.
'Worth every second.' Death admits as she prepares herself for Mama's wraith.
Land of The Living...
Natsu slowly opens his eyes and finds himself in the forest where he 'died' in. He gets off his back and looks around...the trees are still green...the rocks are still rocks...the sun is still in the sky...but where is Cinder?
'Was that just a dream?' He asks himself but realizes that he can't open his right eye.
'Nope...it wasn't a dream handsome...you got Death's tongue shoved down your throat...geez that witch is crazy when she's mad.' He hears Death's voice in his head.
'You again! Where are you?!' He asks looking around the trees trying to find Death's hiding place.
'No point in looking...I'm in your head...and I can say...this is fascinating?'
'You're in my head?! WHY!?'
'You can thank that witch you call your mother for that...she didn't want you to die yet.'
Natsu calms down remembering his mother asking for him to go with Death before falling asleep...'So I'm not dead?'
'Nope...your dead...but you're here...on Remnant...breathing and still kicking.'
'So why am I here and not in the afterlife?'
'Now this is the good part, you can live your, now endless, life as usual...the only thing different is that I can now pop in your head every once and awhile to watch your life unfold firsthand.'
'EVERYTHING?! What if I have to use the restroom?'
'I won't watch...who do you think I am...' She assures and notices Natsu sigh in relief.
'So what happens now?'
'Like I said...live your life like usual...if I remember correctly you were looking for a dragon before a Ursa killed you.'
'Yeah...then...CINDER! Where is she? I don't sense her anywhere.' He says searching for his new friend.
'That makes sense...you've been dead for a year now...'
'WHAT?!'
'She's probably miles away from you right now...but I have a feeling you two will meet again.'
'Why was I dead for a year!?'
'Oh,time moves faster in The Void...'
'You tell me that now!'
'There is no need to complain...it's not like you missed anything...that dragon you're looking for isn't dead yet.'
'You better be right!'
'Well, only one way to find out...so how are you going to find the big dragon?'
'Sigh...I searched for a long time...I think it's time to get some outside help. So I want to enter one of those hunter schools.'
'What king of school?'
'It's a school that trains people to slay Creatures of Grimm.'
'Why would a school like that help you find a dragon?'
'I know that the dragon I'm looking for is a creature of darkness...no doubt about it.'
'A Grimm Dragon huh...that makes sense...they must know something about the dragon then. Smart thinking hotshot...you're the perfect package... smart, strong, and good looking.'
'I won't fall for your tricks...my soul is mine to keep!' He blushes as he resists Death's charm.
'I'm not going to take you soul or whatever...I promise you that it's a perfectly natural and pleasureful experience.'
'Like I would believe you.' He counters.
While the two bicker about human reproduction, Natsu's bag starts to shake uncontrollably. Natsu stops talking as he sets his back in front of him.
'And that's how babies are made...Hey...your bag is moving.' Death notices.
'Yeah...should I open it?'
'NO! I forbid you to open that bag...anything can be lurking within the contents of the bag!'
'That's why I should open it!' Natsu yells as he flips the flap open.
'NOOO!' He hears Death scream in horror as the bag opens.
He looks into the pack and finds two black eyes, resembling his eyes, looking back at him with shy eyes.
"Hey little guy...my name's Natsu Dragneel." He greets as he gives the creature a small smile.
The creature slowly walks out of the pack and into the light, it was a small dragon...no bigger than his fist...that looks exactly like his father that it creeped him out a little. He has the same dark crimson scales, wings, horns, and even the scars on it's face is the same as his father.
"Igneel?" He calls but the small dragon doesn't respond.
'Dad's gone Natsu...but maybe I can save this one.' He decides.
"How about I call you Ig...short for Igneel...You're a tiny Igneel so if fits you perfectly." He offers as he holds his hand out in front of Ig.
The dragon responds to the name and hops on his hand making some adorable dragon coos.
"You and me are going to b-" Natsu stops mid-sentence as vivid images of blood and corpses of a large group, about five or six, crimson dragons.
'What's a wyvern...' He asks himself as an image of a the Grimm Dragon pops in his head.
"So that wanna-be dragon is a type of dragon...their called wyverns...but why do I know that...Dad never taught me that stuff." He mumbles as Ig hovers over his shoulder with his small wings.
"And you are a drake...I remember Dad telling me that...hey...where's my vest?" He asks as he looks down...and finds that he's completely naked and the only thing is was wearing was his necklace. Luckily, the backpack was the only thing covering his 'special weapon' from the world.
His eyes shoots open as he dumps everything out of the bag looking for some spare clothes, he finds his holster and gun...a folded piece of paper...black pants, a black jacket, and black combat boots. He sighs in relief as he puts on the new clothes. Ig sits on Natsu's head watching, curiously, as his new best friend put on his clothes.
"Phew...Let's hope no one saw me like that little buddy." He hopes as he pets the small dragon on his head, which responds with a coo.
'I see you're not dead yet...you disobeyed me and as your lover I must punish you.' He hears Death moan in his head as he closes his backpack.
'It was just a little dragon Grayfia...will you relax...' Natsu mumbles as he straps on his backpack and unfolds the piece of paper in his backpack...it was a map Remnant.
'Who's Grayfia...NATSU?!' Death's voice darkens immediately as another woman's name comes out of his mouth.
"Oops...you said that you didn't have a name right...so I decided to make you a name and Gray pop in my head because of your hair, but Gray was to plain and soundly like a guy's name so I added fia...and it totally sounds like a woman's name right Grayfia." He mumbles as he examines the map for the nearest human kingdom.
'...'
'...'
'...'
Natsu stops in his tracks and looks around him, 'You don't like the name...I can change it if yo-'
'NO!'
'What's wrong?'
'I...I love the name...thank you Natsu...I just feel a little bit speechless right now.'
'Aww Thanks Grayfia...you know what, I really like that name...Grayfia...nice ring to it.' He confesses as he begins his walk again as he scratches his head.
'Hey Grayfia...so I found this little guy in the backpack...I named him Ig.' He introduces as he holds Ig in front of his face.
'This little guy was in the backpack...Aww...what a little cutie!'
'Can we keep him? He can come with us to...where are we going?'
'The nearest kingdom...is called Vall...and yes he's coming with us.'
'You mean Vale...'
'Right...Vale...Let's go there and ask about those hunter schools.' Natsu corrects himself as he heads to Vale.
'Hey Grayfia..'
'Yes handsome...'
'Did you see me...naked?'
'YOU WERE NAKED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!?'
...
..
.
It's going to be a long walk to Vale...
Codename: "Backpack"
He he he he...Did you like that surprise at the end?
Yes, Grayfia from Highschool DXD is Death in this world, if that's okay, but she is only here to help you visualize The Grim Reaper...and seduce Natsu. So no one else from Highschool DXD will come barging in unexpectedly...
Death was suppose to look like a Fem Zeref but I wanted Death to have silver hair..and Grayfia came to mind...I have a thing for Natsu and Grayfia so it was the perfect opportunity to put her in. She will be more lustful at the start but later she will start to really fall for the The Dread Hunter.
Sorry for this but Natsu was born and raised in the world of Remnant so no one from Fairy Tail will come barging in unexpectedly. I want to focus on Rwby...and Grayfia...in this story.
I kinda rushed it when Cinder recruited Natsu for her ultimate plan because I wanted to start cannon in this chapter but when I started to write about Death...I got...a little carried away. So I personally apologize for not starting cannon this chapter.
If you have anything comments/questions/ and or concerns then tell me...I don't bite...yet...If I don't answer your questions I probably too scared to answer or will answer in at the end of the next chapter.
Please forgive me for my incompetents for my typos and other mistakes you find in this, past, and or future chapters.
Thank you all for follows, favorites and especially the reviews...It's good to see others enjoy this story.
If you like this chapter then good for you...
Till next time...
