Oh...Ahhh...Awww Sounds
I own my Ocs and that's about it.
It's A Date!
While Natsu was bonding with team CFVY...team RWBY and JNPR were attending their classes. Pyrrha made a new enemy, Jaune learned about Fort Castle, Weiss got mad Ruby, and Yang learned that Blake likes tuna, but in the end it was an average day for the two teams.
Now everyone sleeps in their dorms, waiting for their alarms to go off to signal to the start of a new day, but some people are already awake, like Glynda Goodwitch. She is always awake an hour earlier than the students she teaches, she's an instructor after all.
Currently, she walks down the hallways of the academy's dormitories looking for her pink haired apprentice, Natsu Dragneel. She feels that it's time for the carefree powerhouse to begin his education. The sound of her footsteps echoes in the silent hallways then abruptly ends when the professor stands in front of a white door with a small golden number nine embedded into the white wood of the door.
She knocks on the door twice and waits for a response.
"..."
"..."
"..."
'No answer, I though he was a morning person.' She thinks and knocks again.
"I'm coming..." She surprisingly hears a muffled voice and the door in front of her opens.
She watches as a muscular figure reveals himself behind the door while rubbing his eye, it's her most mysterious student Natsu Dragneel.
"Professor Goodwitch? Is something wrong?" He asks with a droopy voice as he checks the time on his scroll and it says 0500 hours.
Glynda loses her composure a bit to see Natsu only wearing his pants, you couldn't to feel a bit worried for her apprentice as she studies the many scars scattered across his chest.
'She was right, he must of lived outside Vale to suffer those scar.' She assumes.
"Mr...Mr. Dragneel...can you please put some clothes on?" She asks as she respectfully looks away from his bare chest.
She hears Natsu walks back into his room and whispers a mumble, "Not again..."
'How can you forget to put your clothes on?' She thinks over Natsu side comment.
He's only gone for a moment then returns to Glynda now wearning his jacket, which doesn't help because he wears his jacket open, and she realizes that her request him to put on clothes is utterly pointless.
"Is there something you need Professor?" He asks.
Glynda breaks from her thoughts, "Ah, Yes Mr. Dragneel, I feel that it's time for your lessons."
"Wait lessons? I don't remember-Oh...that...okay, I need to get cleaned up first if that's okay." He asks.
"...I...of course Mr. Dragneel, just meet me at the dinning hall once you're finished." Glynda blushes a little as she realizes that Natsu just woke up and he needs to properly ready himself for the new day.
"Right, I'll see you there." Natsu assures and walks back into his room to gather his towel, tooth brush, and tooth paste.
Glynda nods to herself and leaves Natsu to gather his things while she heads to the dinning hall to have her breakfast.
"Natsu...who was that?" The Dread Hunter hears as he approaches a wall, near his bed, and starts to tap on the wall as if he was entering a four-digit code into a number pad.
"It was Professor Goodwitch, she wants me to meet her at the dinning hall." Natsu explains as the wall in front of him sounds off an approved bing and a small hologram turns on in front of him.
"Good morning, Natsu." An angelic voice greets Natsu as the wall in front of him slides to the right and a hidden closet reveals itself, containing identical copies of his usual outfit. He crouches down and opens a drawer filled socks, and underwear.
"~It's too early...come back to bed baby~" Grayfia moans as she rolls around the bed looking for him.
Natsu ignores her call and gathers a fresh new set of clothes and hangs them over his arm as he walks over to Grayfia sprawled out on his bed.
"Grayfia...Grayfia wake up." He calls as he nudges Death's shoulder.
"It's too early..." She murmurs and hides inside his blanket.
"C'mon...a bet a shower will wake you up." Natsu suggests in a cheery tone.
The Grim Reaper doesn't say anything as she slowly pops her head out of his blanket and looks at him.
"Together?" She asks.
"How else would we take a shower?" He asks innocently with a smile, he knows that she wanted to have a shower...she never had one before since she never get's dirty...so this is the best time to grant her wish.
He watches the his godly friend smile and open her arms to him, "Carry me."
...
..
.
Natsu took five minutes to get to the unisex bathroom with Death on his back, but he got there regardless of the unnecessary work. Now he stands in front of one of the many showers in the unisex bathroom with a naked Grayfia on his back. He carefully stacks his clothes and towel on a stand next to the shower sliding door while trying to balance Grayfia on his back.
"Is this...a shower...why are they so big?" Grayfia asks as she nuzzles Natsu from behind and watches him put some numbers into his scroll, causing his name to pop up on the shower door and open up for him.
"Hm...I don't know really...I've never seen so many showers in one place before." He explains as he drops Grayfia to her feet and begins to undress himself while Death walks into the small shower.
Grayfia looks around and finds, a strange circle thing, with small holes all around it, above her head, two knobs in front of her with one with a small blue circle on it and the other with a red circle.
"How does this work?" She asks as she lets her curiosity get the better of her and turns the knob with the red circle.
"It's easy, just turn one of those-" She hears, from Natsu, as something turns on and a hot liquid covers her entire body, making her senses breakdown from intense feelings of pleasure.
"~Ahh...yes~" She moans as the hot water, from the shower head, travels down her silky body and down the shower drain.
In her state of bliss, she doesn't notice Natsu step into the shower and closes the shower door behind him and hugs her from behind.
"You got started without me." He whispers in her ear as she feels his muscular body press up behind her, making her shiver in excitement.
"~It...feels so good...Natsu~" She whimpers as she watches Natsu pick up a gray container and squeezes out a blue substance into his free hand then begins to roam his strong hands all around her smooth body.
"~Natsu~" She yells as her lover enhances her pleasureful experience by using his massaging skills to scrub the non-existent dirt off her body.
"I'm going to clean you up!" He declares as he gently massages the woman's large pillows of flesh with his soap covered hands.
Natsu smiles as he hears Grayfia's gasps at his boldness and pleads him to continue, "Yes baby! More...~mmm~ yes more!"
The Dread Hunter steps up his game, unknowingly, by turning Grayfia around and makes squishes her body against him as he lathers more soap on her back while giving her his biggest smile. He's having the best time of his life right now.
The Grim Reaper stares into her lover's eyes with love and passion then decides to give Natsu a reward by shoving her tongue down his mouth. So she wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him into a passionate kiss.
Natsu closes his eyes and enjoys the strange action that she calls a kiss, he doesn't know why Grayfia does this, but he loves the warm feeling he gets in his heart when she kisses him. So he decides to return the favor by lowering his massage zone down to her two soft cheeks she calls a butt.
Grayfia stops her assault in her lover's mouth as she feels Natsu grabs her down below and gives her a good combo of fondles and squeezes, giving Natsu the chance to flip that tables and try out Grayfia's weird tongue dance on her, giving her own taste of her medicine.
'I love it when you're bold!' Grayfia praises as she lets Natsu take over the kiss and surprising he's not that bad. She moans as his tongue explores her mouth and lets her man clean her up.
...
..
.
For what seem like an couple of hours, Death felt Natsu attack all her most sensitive spots with the utmost love and affection in the name of cleaning. She never felt so happy in her immortal life before, the relaxing hot water running down her body, her man fondling her with his strong hands, she wanted this moment to last forever. Only three words could Death say to her lover to express her feelings to him. While snuggling on The Dread Hunter's chest, Grayfia gathers her courage to express her feelings to her lover.
"Natsu...I...I lov-" She tries to confess as she hears something turns off and looks up to Natsu who was squeezing her butt.
"...W...hat...N...atsu?" She tries to ask for an explanation while recovering from her state of pleasure.
"All done, that was good huh?' Natsu asks hugging his naked partner closer to him.
"~No, I don't want this to end baby~" She moans as she falls limp in his arm.
"Aw, it's okay Fia, we can do this again tonight!" He assures and gives her a slight squeeze.
Grayfia smiles at her new nickname and her face brightens at the idea of taking another shower with her man then rewards Natsu with a quick peck on the lips.
"Okay honey, but next time I'll be cleaning ~you~" She assures and winks.
Natsu feels like he heard something like that before but smiles anyway, "Awesome! Now let's dry you up." He suggests as he raises his body temperature that Grayfia feels her senses go haywire in pleasure.
"~NATSU~" She screams as she holds on to him for dear life and begins to tremble in his arms, it seems she...exploded with pleasure...like a certain state in the process of human reproduction that shall not be named.
The Prince begins to worry for his partner as she trembles in his arms but the blissful look on her face assures him that she's enjoying this, he feels something splash on his feet but ignores it as the heat he emits drys him and Grayfia right up.
"Are you okay?" He asks as he lowers down his body temp.
The Grim Reaper hums in response as she takes a moment to recover while Natsu carries her out of the shower.
"Time to dress up." Natsu mumbles as he grabs his clothes on the stand and begins to dress himself while Grayfia notices a change in her hairstyle by looking the large mirror in front of the two.
Her sliver hair is no longer the messy and tangled blob she always had, but now it is loose, straight, and actually looks pretty decent for a change. She tilts her head at her new look while she plays with her long luscious locks and decides to try a new hairstyle, so with the power of magic and reasons, Grayfia summons a few dark blue ribbons in her right hand while she begins to style her hair.
Natsu puts on his jacket and picks up a folded kimono on the stand by the shower then walks behind Grayfia.
"How does it look honey?" He hears as Grayfia looks at him in the mirror.
Natsu's mouth slightly opens in awe as he looks at his friend, her beautiful hair is now tied to a loose ponytail with two smaller braids going down the sides of her face with little dark blue ribbons to hold the braids in place. Her new look made his chest feel weird and he wanted to hold her in his arms then tell her how much she means to him.
"I like it, I like it a lot." He confesses as he unfolds Grayfia's kimono and covers her with it.
"Then I'll keep it then ~hotshot~" She assures as she turns around and kisses him again.
"Kisses are the best!" Natsu admits as breaks the kiss.
"You keep this up then I'll give you something better than a ~kiss~" She offers as she caresses his bare chest.
"~I'll see you later, I need to rest after what you did to me big boy~" She whispers then puffs into a black smoke, leaving her smiling Dragon Prince alone in the showers.
...
..
.
Today is going to a fun one.
Dinning Hall, 5:20 AM
"Ooo, something smells ~amazing~" Natsu moans as he follows a strong scent of freshly made breakfast aimlessly down the long rows of tables inside the Dinning Hall.
The Son of Mother Nature hears his stomach growl as the scent of the food draws closer and closer, he looks around for the source of the mouthing-watering smell and finds his new-mentor sitting by herself at a table covered in plates of many diverse foods, ranging from the plump pancakes to the big bacons. To the milky milk to the creamy coffee. If the food was eaten breakfast, it was there on that table, waiting for someone to consume them.
Natsu waves over the professor while she takes a drink from a mug, exactly similar to Ozpin's, as he walks toward her.
"Good morning Mr. Dragneel, I see you been waiting for breakfast yes?" She greets as she watches Natsu sit down across from her with a devilish smile planted on his face.
"Who made this? It looks just as goods as it smells!" He asks trying to hold back his urge to eat everything in front of him.
"I'm glad you like it Mr. Dragneel, it so happens that I made all of the dishes you see here, I enjoy cooking on my free time you see." Glynda explains with a slightly proud tone.
"That's...that's..." Natsu tries to form words but the food in front of him was taking all of his attention.
The serious professor breaks her usual demeanor and forms a small smile on her lips as her apprentice tries his best to keep his composure.
"If you want to eat, then go right ahead, I knew you would be hungry after you-." She assures as a low growl interrupts her.
She raises her eyebrow as she watches Natsu fold his sleeves up to his elbows and stares at the food in front of him like he hasn't eaten in weeks.
"Mr. Dragneel?" She asks as The Dread Hunter takes all the plates and lays them all in front of him then picks up a fork and knife.
'Something is very wrong...' She notes, the soft chuckles coming and the dark look on Natsu's face looks like he was going to slice the pancake and the table in half with the small knife in his right hand.
Then in a flash, Natsu gives his biggest smile as he stabs his fork into the perfectly prepared pancake while raising his knife for a slice.
'This isn't going to be goo-' Glynda stops mid-thought as Natsu, ironically, gently cuts into the pancake into a small triangle and brings to piece to his mouth for a bite, completely changing from food-hungry maniac to proper gentleman in a blink of an eye.
She couldn't help but to stare at Natsu in amazement and fascination as he quickly finishes the pancake filled plate in a few bites while humming happily to himself.
'It's like he's been starving for days!' She exclaims as Natsu finishes one dish after another in the same minute, there's even a small tower of plates growing at the left side of the table.
She witnesses a different side of The Dragon Prince as he finishes all of her dishes before she could finish a single thought.
"Aw wow, that was really something, I've haven't eaten something as good as that in a long time. Thanks Professor!" Natsu thanks after he chugs down a large glass of white milk.
"You...flatter me Mr. Dragneel...if we're done here, then let's head outside." Glynda begins to regain her composure.
"But what about the dishes?" Natsu asks as he starts to stack all the empty plates into one tall tower.
"Oh don't worry about such a small matter." She assures as she aims her rider's crop at the stack of plates and uses her power of levitation to transport the plates down the dinning hall and on top of the serving tables in the distance.
The Dragon Prince watches as the plates gracefully fly across the room in awe, it looks like Glynda was a witch casting spells with her wand in his eyes, 'How does she do it?!' He asks as he follows Glynda out of the dinning hall.
...
..
.
"Professor Goodwitch, What are we doing here, we just passed the amphitheater." Natsu asks as he and his mentor approaches a large gray aircraft.
"We're heading to the city Mr. Dragneel, I think it's time for you to see the city and the urban life we live in here in Vale, or in any kingdom in Remnant really." Glynda explains as she climbs on to the large winged aircraft.
Natsu feels a little uneasy as he puts his foot inside the flying vehicle but eventually fights through the discomfort and climbs aboard then takes a seat across from Goodwitch.
"What is this thing?" He asks looking around as Glynda pushes some buttons on her tablet and the metal-bird begins to roar to life.
"This is one of the VTOL Bipedal Helicopter, used for transporting huntsmen and huntresses across Vale." She informs.
"Ah huh..." Natsu mumbles as he stores the long name in his brain for future reference.
"But everyone just calls these helicopters Bullheads." Glynda clarifies.
"Oh that easy to remem-Ahh!" Natsu stops mid-sentence as a massive headache hits him like a train as soon as the bullhead rises from the ground.
"Mr. Dragneel!" Glynda calls as she kneels in front of him and hold his head in her hands.
"M...my head..." He mumbles as he breaks from Glynda's hold and stumbles toward the open door of the Bullhead then holds a handle in front of him and hangs his head out the door, letting the speeding winds hit his face.
He closes his eye and remembers his travels, with his father, across the small world of Remnant. The wind...the fresh cold air on his face when he and his father soared through the sky. Those are the moments that he holds dear to him about the Dragon King.
The Dread Hunter takes a deep breath as the wind hitting his face calms him down.
"Mr. Dragneel, are you alright?" Goodwitch ask, putting her hand on his shoulder.
She watches the teen look back her with a crooked smile, "Yup, I'm good."
Vale, 7:00
For the last hour an a half, Glynda showed Natsu around Vale, to the fishy docks that sit at the edge of the sea, to the large houses of the residential district. Now Glynda's taking Natsu to the commerce district of Vale to show him how people spend their free time or make money.
"Why is buying things fun? Aren't you spending money you worked for?" Natsu asks.
He and the blond teacher are walking down a street with all kinds of stores around them, like book stores, clothing stores, and the occasional restaurant.
"Purchasing things are entertaining depending on what you're desire, you can purchase almost anything that comes to mind, clothes, books, weapons, food, ect ect." She teaches as she points to the surrounding stores around the two.
"~Food~ he he he" She hears Natsu mumble with a strange smile on his face.
"But to purchase items you need the correct currency, which is the same for all Kingdoms. We all use Lien as our currency, in the form of a plastic card, with the right amount of Lien you can buy what you desire if it's for sale." She ignores Natsu food cravings and continues.
Glynda decides to give Natsu a demonstration of the process of making a transaction, so she leads Natsu into the first store she sees. Before walking in, she looks up and finds the store name, Blades N Bullets, all in a military-like font with the 'L' in Blades...a blade...the 'L's in Bullets...bullets.
Natsu opens the door for Glynda and hears the door ring with a small bell as they walk in.
"Hello! Welcome to Blades n Bullets, we're here to satisfy your Grimm slaying needs." The two hear a feminine voice up ahead behind a counter.
Goodwitch and Dragneel study the room around them as they walk into the ammo store. They find all sorts of weapons displayed on the walls and inside glass display cases. To the long ranged firearms to the close quartered swords.
Natsu couldn't help but to feel like a child in a candy shop, the weapons in front all did the same thing, to fight, but they all look so different from one to another, and they probably worked differently too. There are so many ways to fight and just that idea excited him.
'Whoa, there's so many blades, how you suppose to use them without a hilt to hold it?' He asks himself, looking at all the hanging blades on the walls.
"Mr. Dragneel? Can I borrow you revolver for a moment?" Glynda asks, breaking her apprentice's train of thought.
"Yeah, sure." Natsu complies and gives The Professor his special firearm as the two approach the front counter.
"Okay what can I-Hey! Glynda, what brings you over today?" The cashier asks, she is around mid 20s with short brown hair, dark brown eyes, and silky tan skin. She wears a tight tan office-like uniform with a beige beret with a Atlas insignia on the front of the beret.
"Hello again Ms. Indigo, I'm just showing a student of mine around the city, he's new to the urban life." Glynda greets Vale's best ammunitions store's owner.
"Glynda just drop the formalities, we've been friends for what, 15 years now, I think we can call each other by our names by now." Ms. Indigo scolds and Glynda rolls her eyes at her.
"Sigh, fine Nila, but just this once..." She gives in and crosses her arms together.
The Dragon Prince stares blankly at the woman in front of him, 'She knows Professor Goodwitch?'
Nila notices Natsu's awkward stare and decides to introduce herself, "Hi, I'm Nila Indigo, nice to meet you..." The trooper veteran trails off, suggesting Natsu to introduce himself.
"Oh sorry, I'm Natsu Dragneel, it's a pleasure." He greets and holds his hand out for a friendly shake.
Nila takes his hand without a second thought and scans him as if she's an agent profiling her next target.
'Heh, strong grip, expected from a hunter in training. He seems innocent but his eyes tell a completely different story, he's killed before I just know it, those are the eyes of a man filled of guilt. Guilt of taking a life.' She profiles the professional Grimm slayer as she finishes the shake.
"Likewise-oh, what's this?" She says as Glynda puts Natsu's gun on the counter.
"What can you tell me about this firearm?" Glynda interrupts.
The lady takes the gun and examines every detail on the gun, she takes a minute for her to fully analyze the weapon, "I must say this is a fine piece of work, I haven't seen something like this since my days back in the Atlas military." She begins and puts her right thumb on a small button and press it. To her surprise the top half of the gun opens and reveals six empty holes in a cylinder. She looks back at the cylinder then back at the button several times before returning the open barrel back to it's rightful place.
'Strange, most revolvers release only the cylinder, this one takes whole barrel with it. I haven't seen that before.' The lady notes.
'I didn't know that did that.' Natsu notes Nila plays around with his gun.
"Can you...elaborate on the subject?" Glynda asks.
"Well, I say that everything about this one is customized, even down to the smallest screw. Despite it's low ammo capacity, this can pack quite the punch in medium to short range engagements. If you wanted to further the customization, I suggest a sight to replace the iron sights, a laser/flashlight module, and if you're up for it, a standard combat knife for those close encounters." She explains and hands back the gun to Glynda.
"What do you think Mr. Dragneel, do those suggestions arouse your curiosity?" She asks as the cashier disappears under the counter and returns with several items in her hands.
"Um...I don't know really, half the things she said don't make sense to me." He admits as the lady behind the counter lays out several foreign objects on top of the counter.
"And that's where I come in, just explain what you're confused on and I'll do my best to answer your questions." She assures with a familiar smile Natsu always wears on his face.
"That's very kind of you Nila." Glynda thanks.
"It's nothing, it's my job, anyway, let's get started, this small thing here is called a red dot sight, when attached to a weapon. You're perception of range increases to greater lengths once you look into the sight, the red dot in the middle of the sight is where you are aiming, which is called a reticle, hence the name of red dot sight." Nila begins, showing Natsu a small black object she calls a red dot sight.
Natsu takes the sight and looks into it and finds the dot, Nila was talking about, aimed at Nila's nose.
"How far can you see varies on what sight you have, red dots sights are under the class of reflector, or reflex, sights. I recommend that you use these sights for close range conflicts. For long or medium range, optic sights are the way to go." The gun expert finishes her lecture on sights.
Natsu nods at this new found information and moves on to the next item, "Moving on, this is called a flashlight/laser module, it's pretty self-explanatory, it combines a flashlight and a laser into one simple attachment. The flashlight will help you see enemies in the dark environments and the laser will help increase your precision without aiming down sights, but your enemies and allies can see the laser and the flashlight so don't even think about using these things when sneaking around."
The Dragon Prince picks up the device and studies it for a moment then puts it back down, 'I might buy one of these when I get some Lien.' He decides.
"Now this one is my favorite, ammunition, or ammo for short. You pretty much have a type of bullet for any firefight situation. Wind bullets for armored piercing or non-lethal attacks, Fire bullets for splash damage, Gravity bullets for explosive booms, Ice bullets for capturing enemies or slowing down enemies, and many more. Just don't go around shooting the wrong people alright?" She explains as she offers Natsu a small white box with the wind dust emblem on top of the box.
Natsu takes the box and opens it slowly then finds a pile of small copper cylinders with a thick white stripe on the bottom of each bullet.
"That right there is non-lethal wind rounds, but before I go any further, do you know how to reload your weapon?"
Natsu looks at Nila then back at his gun, "Um...no..." He admits shyly.
Nila smiles at his cute answer, "Don't worry, I got you covered, to reload you first need to open the chamber to insert the new rounds. There should be a button of the right side of the gun, called the cylinder release, just press that and it should obviously release the cylinder from it's secured position, but your gun is unique..." She starts as Natsu follows her instructions and the top barrel of his gun clicks and opens just like when Nila released the cylinder earlier.
Glynda watches Natsu like a hawk as he fiddles with his gun's new mechanic, 'He learns quick, that's a good trait to have.' She notices.
"There you go, now use this, it's called a speed reloader. Holding a full six bullets in one reloader, it's faster than just loading one bullet at a time. It's guaranties to save you time on the battlefield and, it could even save your life."
The Dread Hunter takes a small clip holding six wind dust bullets and loads them into his gun then takes out the reloader with a happy look on his face, "This is awesome!"
"Good, now let's see how good of a shot you are." She tests and walks to a door behind the counter.
Glynda goes around the counter and follows her old friend with Natsu tailing behind her.
...
..
.
"This here is the state of the art firing range, I built it myself, here you can test your accuracy with any firearm to 10 to 50 meters." She presents her pride and joy standing in front of a long metal table that goes from one side of the room to the other with her arms in the air.
Natsu looks around the room while Glynda waits by the door.
"Uh...Nila?" He asks.
"Yes?" She plainly responds.
"What are we shooting at? 'Cause I don't see anything."
"Oh don't worry you little head about that, just stand right here and draw your weapon." She instructs, pointing to a spot next to her.
The marksmen complies and stands next to the store owner and draws his weapon.
Then the room darkens as if the power went out and six large red blobs of light begins to form all across the room in front of Natsu and Nila. The Dread hunter then aims as the blobs turn into what looks to be soldiers pointing their weapons straight at him.
Without a second thought, Natsu pulls the trigger, with his thumb on the hammer, six consecutive times and one after another, the gun fires six times and all six bullets land on their targets. Causing all the soldiers to drop dead on the floor and burst into little red shards.
Natsu smiles at his quick execution and spins his gun around his finger, 'It's a little weaker if I use bullets but it beats using my Aura energy.' He compares the two ways to fire his revolver.
"Nice work kiddo, but we're not done here yet, you better reload." Nila warns.
The teen tilts his head at her as another red blob of light brightens the room.
Nila smirks back at him and suggestively nudges back at the firing range, but to her surprise, the hunter stops spinning his gun and aims at his target.
Glynda squints her eyes as a blue glows emits from her student's firearm, 'I was right after all...'
"What?" Nila whispers as Natsu charges up his gun.
The barrel of the revolver glows a bright blue and fires one large blue bream of pain directed toward the one lone soldier in the middle of the firing range.
Nila widens her eyes as a large blue fire comes out of the revolver's barrel and the soldier beyond the metal table burst into a millions of small red shards on impact of the blue bullet.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Natsu cheers and ironically begins to reload his gun.
"Good job Mr. Dragneel, come now, we don't want to waste anymore of Nila's time now would we?" The Professor asks.
"Okay, nice meeting you Nila." Natsu gives in and walks out of the firing range after picking up the empty bullet cartridges off the ground.
The room turns back on it's lights as Natsu leaves the room, "Glynda? What was that!" Nila exclaims.
"You're guess is as good as mine, I've never seen anything like it, Mr. Dragneel is just full of surprises." Glynda vaguely answers and leaves her friend out of the room.
Nila ponders over her friends words then realizes that Glynda left her alone in the room, "Hey! Wait for me!" The store owner yells, running out of the firing range.
...
..
.
"Sigh, you never changed Glynda." Nila thinks aloud as she finds Glynda and Natsu waiting on the other side of the counter with a large black box on top of the counter.
"You don't have to do this Professor Goodwitch, I'll just buy some when I get some Lien." She hears her old friend's mysterious student persist.
"Nonsense, as your mentor and Professor, I must provide you the necessary tools for the best educational experience." Glynda assures and pulls out a plastic card with a the letter L with two black lines going through the middle of the letter.
Natsu sighs in defeat and lets his teacher pay for his purchase.
"Is this what you want, a box of speed reloaders?" She asks.
"...Yeah..." He mumbles, pouting.
"Ahh, good choice to have those speed reloaders, here have these too." Nila suggests and grabs a large black briefcase from under the counter them puts the large case next to the black box.
"There 1200 wind bullets in there so go crazy, on the enemy, not us." Nila explains, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.
"And how much will this be?" Glynda asks, readying her Lien card.
"Oh no, it's on the house, don't worry about it." Nila assures and opens the briefcase, revealing six blue boxes stacked neatly in a three by two pattern. She then picks up the speed reloader box and places it on top of the bullet boxes and closes the briefcase shut.
"Unacceptable, I can't let you give away something so expensive like that!" Glynda snaps at her friends generosity.
"These things, expensive? You're joking, these things are cheap, like 100 to 125 Lien. I give these bad girls to every costumer who buys something, they're cheap and sturdy." Nila assures.
"That doesn't matter, you're just spoiling my student!" She persists and swipes her Lien card on a machine next to a what looks to be a large tablet computer.
Nila sighs as she looks at the computer screen, "Here's your change." She mumbles in defeat and swipes her hand to the side and the computer screen turns to Natsu and Glynda to reveal a big zero on the screen.
It takes Glynda to realize that she didn't pay anything and fell right into her friend's trap. She glares at Nila only to receive a smile in return, "You win this time Nila." She mumbles and slides the briefcase to her then hands it to Natsu.
"Thanks Nila! You're the best!" He thanks.
"Oh it nothing...really...it's no big deal." She blushes in embarrassment from his praise with on hand on her cheek and the other waving in front of her.
"Can you wait outside Mr. Dragneel, I have something to discuss with Nila." Glynda asks.
"Oh, sure no problem. I'll be outside." He complies and makes his way outside of the store.
Nila gets a little anxious of the awkward tension in the air between her and her friend, "So...Glynda...what did you want to talk about?"
"Nila, how's your little sister Neela? I heard she in the Atlasian military now."
The store owner sighs in relief that her friend just want to catch up with her, "Oh yeah, she's following her big sister's foot steps you know. She's even in the Shock Trooper Unit."
"Really? Is she also a squad leader?"
"No, actually she's a field medic, she's always been good at that sort of thing."
"You look worried, don't worry about it. She'll be fine, she is an Indigo after all."
"I know, but I'm just worried about her, heh, this must of been what she felt about me when I was in the that unit." Nila admits, taking off her beret and studying the patch on her hat she always wore in every op she lead. The patch is old and worn down, just like the beret, it's seen a lot of action. The patch was just like the Atlas's main emblem, but with a few changes, the spear in the middle is changed to two spears criss crossed and at the middle, is the skull, and at the top of the batch as the letters ASTU, standing for Atlasian Shock Trooper Unit.
"Glynda, I know you didn't come over to chat, we did that yesterday, so what did you really want to talk about." Nila changes the subject.
"You never changed Nila..."
...
..
.
"Sigh, what's taking her so long?" Natsu talks to himself, standing idly outside of the gun store. He stands in one place for several minutes and he becomes a little impatient. So he look back inside to fine Glynda and Nila chatting away like they haven't seen each other in years.
Natsu sighs and turns around, just to be knock down by something soft.
He yelps in surprise at the sneak attack and groans in pain as he hits the floor, something fleshy, and smells like a sweet, is on him.
He slowly open his eye and finds a girl, about his 'age', with an odd set of half strawberry pink, and half chocolate brown. "Hello." He greets the lady on top of him.
The lady doesn't say anything and looks up at him with two different colored eyes like her hair, her right eye being strawberry pink and her left eye chocolate brown.
The Dread Hunter feels his heart skip a beat when makes contact with the girl on top of him, like when he first saw Ms. Eirwen, it seems that the Dragon Prince has a thing for the abnormal and unique looking woman of Vale, or Remnant in general.
Staring deep into her eyes, he greets her again, "Hi." He whispers, getting lost in the girl's eyes.
The strange lady smirks mentally at his reaction and decides to play the innocent girl to deceive him into doing something.
She pretends to be embarrassed and quickly jumps off him then land on her back in front of him with a forced blush planted on her cheeks.
Natsu feels an alarm go off in his head and activates his caring mode by quickly getting back on his feet then offering his hand to help the fallen lady, "Oh man, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you, here let me help you." He offers.
He watches the girl blush even harder than before and reluctantly takes his hand, he then gently pull her up back to her feet and gives her an apologetic smile.
The girl avoids eye contact with him and nods slightly, suggesting that she has forgiven him.
Before Natsu can say a word, he hears the sound of a door opening behind him, he looks behind him to find Glynda walking toward him.
The strange girl's eyes widen as the teen's Professor approaches the two, she quickly tugs at his jacket to grab his attention.
He turns around and watches the girl smiles at him then begins to do a couple of gestures to suggest that she needs to be somewhere right now.
Natsu gets the hint and nods, "Right right, that's okay, I'll see you around?"
The girl nods and gives him another smile before jogging away while waving back at him.
"BYE!" He yells back at his new friend.
'Two new friends in one day, good job me.' He praises himself and feels Glynda's presence behind him.
"I apologize Mr. Dragneel, that was longer than expected, so who was that?" She asks.
"It's alright Professor, that was...was...ah dang it! I didn't get her name, oh you should of seen her Professor Goodwitch, she has two different colored eyes and her hair is split into pink and brown. I think she looks so-" He begins to rant on about his new friend.
"Mr. Dragneel, please don't discuss your...interests...with me. I'm the last person you want to talk to about that subject." Glynda interrupts before Natsu could go any farther into his opinion about the strange lady.
"...Um, okay." He complies.
"Good, now let's head back to the Academy, it's getting close to our first class." Glynda warns and begins to walk down the street with the teen next to her.
"Right, but Professor, quick question."
"Yes?"
"How do you know Nila?"
"Oh, me and Ms. Indigo have been friends for quite some time now, 15 years to be exact, she and I grew up together during our days at Atlas. Now she owns and runs Vale's most popular ammunition store and Beacon Academy's only ammunition supplier."
"She gives us free ammo?!" He yells, completely forgetting his original question.
"Well, not exactly, she just gives all the staff and students a discount on everything in the store. She still needs to make a living Mr. Dragneel. So don't expect any more free handouts from her in the future. Understand!" She warns firmly, she doesn't want her only apprentice to become a spoil power house now would she.
"Yes M'am, and Professor Goodwitch?"
"Yes Mr. Dragneel?"
"Can we do this again another time, I like this, you and me going around Vale, it's pretty fun." He asks.
The teacher stops and looks at him then takes a moment to respond, 'He sounds just like him.' She thinks and gives him a soft smile.
"Of course, once a week we'll go out just like today. I'm glad you enjoyed this trip as much as I have." She explains and continues walking down the sidewalk.
Natsu feels a surge of happiness through his body at her answer and quickly runs after her, 'Alright! Maybe next time we could go to that...mall...yeah mall. That sound fun.' He plans a follows Goodwitch back to the bullhead landing pads to call for a ride back to Beacon Academy.
While the two walk around a corner, a certain ice cream lady watches from the distance in the shadows of a dark alleyways.
...
..
.
"Now, where have you been young lady? I've been looking all over you, one second you here and the next you're snooping around in an alleyway. I think we need to have a long talk about you actions young lady." The pink, brown, haired lady hears behind her and turns around to find her charismatic boss standing before her with a cigar in his mouth, Roman Torchwick.
She tilts her head as if she doesn't know what he's talking about and reaches for something in her back pocket.
"Hm? What's wrong Neo, did Perry get arrested again?" He asks sarcastically as his associate pulls out a scroll and hands it over.
He takes the the scroll and opens it then finds a smiling pink haired teen smiling at him then scoffs at the sight, "Who's this, there's not even password on this one. Shame, I think this is one of those academy kids. Nice work Neo, now we can find out about those hot rumors going around." He praises...sarcastically and tosses the scroll back at the ice cream lady, Neo.
Neo catches the scroll and puts it back in the safety of her back pocket then rolls her eyes at him, "Aw, not now Neo, don't give me that look. Come on, boss just called, we're meeting up in a few back at base." He explains and begins to walk down the alleyway.
Neo shakes her head and follows Roman to meet the boss.
...
..
.
"Ah, nothing beats the smell of fishes in the morning." Roman thinks aloud as he enters his warehouse with Neo behind him.
Neo feels something graze her back and she snaps her head behind her to find a glimpse of person running past her. She turns around and finds Cinder standing in front of them with Mercury and Emerald, holding a scroll in her hand, standing next to her.
"Um, excuse me, I don't think that belongs to you." Roman scolds the green haired woman as she hands the scroll to Cinder.
"Same goes to you." Emerald taunts and sticks her tongue at him.
"Why you little-"
"ENOUGH!" Cinder snaps and glares at the two.
"Hey, she started it."
"Sorry Cinder."
"So what's this Roman?" Cinder asks.
"Nothing, just some loot Neo got from pickpocketing some guy, you know, the usually crime stuff."
Cinder looks at the scroll for a moment then looks at Roman, "Where the dust Roman, you said you'd get it by now?"
"Right...about that..." He stalls while scratching the back of his head.
"Roman..."
"I'll swear, I could of got the shipment, but the shipment was delayed to this weekend due to...bad weather."
"Oh really? When did you learn this?" Mercury presses him while Cinder opens the scroll and takes a peek of it's contents and her eyes widen.
"Cinder? Are you alright?" Emerald asks.
'No...this can't be...he's dead, I saw him die!' Cinder breaks down as her memories of her first potential servant cloud her mind.
The amber-eyed teen quickens her breath at the sight of the picture on the scroll screen, she quickly regains her composure and fiercely walks up to Neo with determined eyes, "When and where did you get this?" She asks firmly.
"Whoa, relax, she got it about 10 minutes ago by that ammo store with the Atlas grunt." Roman hastily explains.
She changes her view to Roman, "I want you two to go back and find the man, who you stole from, and bring him to me. Or face the consequences..." She threatens grimly.
Roman looks back at Neo and back at Cinder with questioning eyes, "Okay okay, you win, we're going. There's no need to get angry." He assures and nudges Neo to leave while he slowly walks backwards toward the door.
Cinder watches as the two leave the warehouse then turns to Mercury and Emerald, "You two have another assignment, find this man and bring him to me, unharmed and alive. Don't disappoint me, I'm not in the mood currently." She briefs and hand Emerald the scroll.
The illusion specialist looks at the scroll then at Mercury and nods her head to signal that they're moving out, leaving Cinder all to herself in the large warehouse.
The lady in red clutches her hands into fists and closes her eyes, trying remember the face of the friend she failed to save.
'Natsu...was that really you?'
'Maybe you should look for him yourself, instead of sending others to do your dirty work.' Cinder hears a very familiar voice in her head.
'Mistress!'
'You seem troubled by this petty matter, have you forgotten our purpose?'
'Of course not, I put my full dedication to our cause everyday.'
'I believe you, you human are known for your determination, but that doesn't change the fact that you have...feelings about the man.'
'Mistress, I assure you that he won't deter my performance.'
'Oh no, I didn't mean that in a bad way, it will be beneficial for both of us if you find him. He has a extremely important purpose to fulfill in our grand scheme.'
'He does Mistress?'
'Yes he does, more than you know, so continue as planned. Find him, and convince him to join your ranks. He'll be a valuable asset for future assignments.'
'As you wish.'
'Good, don't fail me.'
...
..
.
"So who is this guy anyway, and what's with the pink hair?" Mercury asks.
Roaming around the Commerce District, Mercury and Emerald are aimlessly walking down a street while Mercury studies the picture on the scroll.
"I don't know, but Cinder looked pretty surprise to see him on the pic so he must be dangerous. You find anything on the phone?"
"Nope, just some personal- oh hello jackpot!" The assassin stops in place and points at the screen.
"What?"
"Here, check this out, the blondie looks very familiar." He shows his partner the screen and it shows a picture of the pinked haired stranger posing for a photo with a blond woman with glasses in front of a large fountain.
"Wait, isn't that-"
"It's that teacher, for those hunter schools, that Cinder told us about, the one with the whip."
"You mean the rider's crop.'
"Same thing, it's just a whip for horses."
"Whatever, call it in, maybe Cinder knows where she lives."
"As you wish your grace." He teases and slightly bows to her.
"I hate you." Emerald plainly insults.
"You love me." He retorts and uses the stranger's phone to call his leader.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Yes, I assume you found something of use to us, correct?"
"Yeah, that blondie you told us about with the wi- ouch- I mean rider's crop. I got a picture here with that pink haired guy with her on his scroll. You know anything else about her? I think we can pay her a visit and get some info out of her.
"..."
"You there?"
"No, that won't be necessary, return to the safe house. We'll deal with him in phase two."
"Okay, we'll be back in a few." He follows her order and ends the call.
"So now what?"
"Boss said to go back, we'll deal with the guy during phase two."
"We're killing him? I thought she said we were suppose to capture him."
"She didn't say if we were going to kill him or not, she'll probably tell us what to do during phase two."
"Whoa, slow down, you actually sounded smart for a second there."
Mercury looks at her plainly, "Shut up."
Beacon Academy, Room 5 of the dormitories, 8:00
While Natsu and Glynda had their educational trip to Vale, the students at Beacon Academy are returning to the real world, from their dreams, to start the new day.
For Team RWBY, their blond haired power house is the first to open their eyes, Yang moans as if she was coming back to life and stretches in her makeshift bunk bed.
"Mmmm, ah that hit the spot." She mumbles, feeling her nerves pulse in pleasure.
Yang finishes her morning stretch and prepares herself to start the day, by...rolling off the bed...and falling face first on the wood floor. A sound of a body hitting the floor, followed by a groan, echoes around the room.
"...Right...bunk beds...I did it again." She whispers and slowly gets back on her feet while rubbing her nose to suppress the pain caused by her mistake.
The young huntress walks over to a wall next to a wooden desk and punches in a code, she hears an approving ding as a hologram of her name pops up in front of her.
"Good morning Yang." The A.I greets and the wall in front of her opens up, like Natsu's, and reveals a closet filled with a large diversity of clothes, to the classy white dresses for those formal parties, to the casual ware for those everyday activities.
Yang picks out her usual attire and a white towel, then stacks the clothes on the desk next to her and walks over to Blake's bed and begins to shake her.
"Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake..." She repeatedly calls for her antisocial friend while poking her cheek.
The Faunus ticks in displeasure and opens her eyes to find the one interrupting her slumber, "What..." She whispers grumpily.
"It's morning, come on get up." She explains and turns around to wake up Weiss and Ruby.
Blake doesn't say a word as she gets up and rubs her eyes to wake her up.
"Put me down Yang! I'm sleepy!" She hears her leader plead as Yang forcefully drags her out of her beloved bunk bed with Weiss glaring at the two sisters, "Can't you two save your antics for another time, some people are trying to sleep here!" She scolds while petting her reptilian friend on the head.
"Today's a big day! Remember we're going to Professor Goodwitch's class today." Yang explains as she drops her sister in front of her closet.
"Ow..." Ruby mutters as her sister dumps her clothes on her back.
Blake and Weiss's eyes widen at the name Goodwitch, then immediately get to their feet and zoom around the room for their clothes and towels then barge out of the room in a flash toward the bathrooms.
"Wait, what?!" Ruby yells and copies her teammates then runs out of the room to catch up with her teammates.
Yang smiles and shakes her head, "Classes don't start for another hour."
She hears a coo above her head and look up to find Ig hiding in her head with droopy eyes.
"Well, it's only you and me little buddy." She mumbles and taps the small dragon on the head, which coos happy in return.
'Aw, I can see why Weiss likes you so much.'
She picks up her clothes, stacked on a wooden table, and strolls out of the room then closes the door behind her.
After closing the door, she looks to her left to find a glimpse of a white towel before disappearing behind a wall.
"Hey Yang!" She hears to the right of her and turns her head to the sound of a familiar voice.
She finds her potential love interest waving at her with his brightest smile with Professor Goodwitch walking besides him.
"Morning hotshot, Professor Goodwitch, what's going on?" She greets.
"Oh you should of been there, we went around Vale, then we went to Blades N Bullets, this cool store filled with all sorts of guns and weapons-" Natsu blurts out his adventure with his Professor Goodwitch all while waving the briefcase, holding the reloaders and bullets, in the air.
"I think you can keep Natsu busy till classes begin Ms. Xiao Long, I'll see you two in a hour." The teacher assumes and leaves Yang with Natsu.
"And I met this other lady with- oh BYE Professor Goodwitch!" Natsu yells at Glynda as she turns the corner at the end of the hallway.
Yang chuckles at Natsu lively spirit, " Well that's a nice story and all, but you can tell me on the way to the showers, ~you can even join me if you want~" She teases and heads toward the showers with a swing at her hips in each step.
"I think I'll pass, I already took a shower." He explains and catches up with the blond power house.
"Bummer, maybe another time, anyway, you met a lady?" Yang asks with hint of jealously in her voice.
"Oh yeah, her name was, was...sigh. Right, didn't get her name."
...
..
.
'I hope I'll see her again, she seems to be a nice person.'
FINALLY, after years and years of waiting, Chapter 8 is here! Rejoice my friends!
SHOUT OUT to the ones reading this, you made it this far so it must mean that you contributed your support to this chapter and story. So I must say this again, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read this.
Sorry, this chapter didn't go as planned, I wanted to at least get to the intro of Forever Falls Arc, but I got a little too carried away with Glynda's and Natsu's date. It could be a good thing if you want more chapters, or a bad thing for some reason I don't know about.
APPLECINDERR- If you didn't know, there was a fire north of San Bernardino called the Blue Cut Fire, Why I'm writing this if because one of our fellow writers was one of the many that were affected by that fire, and her name is AppleCinderr. Fortunately her home wasn't burn down to the ground and she is safe and sound, so if you can, tell her something that will cheer her up. Maybe a hug if that's on the table too.
POLL- Natsu will be experiencing some, feelings for the opposite sex in the next chapter, the winner for Natsu's first love(s) is actually a duo. (Hint, Shells and Scythes)
Let's now get to business...
The stuff below that's not all in bold is some questions, hints, and facts I made for no particular reason.
- What made Ms. Eirwen so scared when she saw Natsu's bad eye? Ch. 6
- Natsu met two ghost, Burgundy Clancy, and someone else...who is it? Ch. 6
- The Ursa that killed Natsu's 'mother' in Ch. 1 lost it's leg and half it's face from Mother Nature...why does that sound familiar in Ch. 4?
- Atlas Soldiers don't have sights on their firearms because their HUDs make them according to the situation. Ch. 7
- DEATH IS ? This is what all the first letters of all the chapters spell (Including Ch. 8 Some Suffer In Secret). What is the full sentence and what does it mean? Ch. 1-8
- Why is Natsu related to the STRQ Incident and why does The Winter Maiden (Ms. Eirwen) know about it? Ch. 7
- Who will Natsu fall in love with first? Choose in the poll above! Ch. 7
- Natsu's urges to kill are related to the black flame he used on Burgundy Clancy...what's the relation? Ch. 7
- The first letters of chapters 1-5 spell DEATH
- Dead People and see other Dead people Ch. 6
- What was your first opinions on The Pink Haired Hunter? Was it another harem story? Did it surprise you that the first chapter was all about death and gore? Tell me via message if you don't mind.
- What do you think the ending of this tale will be? Gory? Happy? Sad? just like Cannon? I want to know what you think.
- How do you feel about the Dragon History and Culture in ch. 2?
- Do you listen to music while reading?
- People named Wes and Lily are stuck in the PM boxes
I apologize for my typos, errors, and other things that make me a bad writer.
Nila Indigo- Same goes with the Atlasian Shock Trooper Unit, you'll only see her two to three times tops, so don't get attached. (She's also NOT the Mystery woman)
MAIDENS- Ms. Eirwen and the other maidens (If the other three are still alive) will be watching the story unfold from the sidelines till the time is right to intervene, meaning they'll show up sooner of later. Same goes for Salem.
IG- I'M SORRY! I didn't have any space or time to write a reaction scene for CFVY and Ig. I was too focused on Glynda's and Natsu's educational tour of Vale. Next chapter will definitely have their reactions, guaranteed.
RUBY ROSE- You're calls for a Ruby slot have been answered my readers. She and many other wonderful women have been added, thanks to you readers, creating a long list of 20. I did get a suggestion for a Penny slot...If I get another two or four suggestions to add her...then I'll add her. Oh and Raven...I didn't get a suggestion, so PM me if you want her in.
PYRRHA'S DEATH- If she does die, then it doesn't matter (If we're talking about Natsu's harem that is)
THE URGE- Natsu had this for a long time...his death and Grayfia aren't the cause for this dark power.
UPDATE STATUS- Weekends are guaranteed to be writing days for me, and I'm thinking of uploading 6-8 thousand word chapters. So...2 weeks tops for a new chapter, if I write during the week, maybe 1 new chapter each week. I don't know yet but we'll see in the next chapter...coming out next year! (Sarcasm...sarcasm)
I know that Natsu still needs to explain about some things to his friends, like his knowledge of Blake being a faunus, and thte Meteor/fire ball attack that took out the King Taijitu during the initiation. I will get that...eventually.
If you have anything to say leave a message, I can't read you mind.
Like every chapter, if you like this one then good for you
Till Next Time!
