Olympus throne room
Third Person POV
Natsu looked up, tears streaming down his face as he stood in the rubble that Igneel made when he burst from the Olympian throne room.
Hestia came out of the hearth and looked at her son with a concerned expression. She could tell he was hurting, though for what reason exactly she couldn't tell.
All she could figure out, was that it had to do with the massive red dragon that had came from him. Of course, as she started to think more about the dragon she started to realize why he was crying.
He wasn't sad. He was confused, hurt, and he was relieved. After all his time, his father who had been missing for so, so long, the father Natsu had searched for despite how hopeless things had seemed had returned.
Hestia slowly walked over to her child before she took him in her arms, whispering sweet nothings as she comforted him. She knew he was gonna have questions for Igneel, so when she felt he had calmed enough she stepped away.
And a moment later the council, minus Hephaestus and Dionysus, barged in expecting a fight. They were surprised to see a half dead demigod, an upset dragon slayer, and some distraught demigods. As well as a conflicted demigod with an eyepatch. (Hes alive because I want him to live. His death served no purpose, but who knows, his life could in this ;)
As the situation was explained to the olympians by Percy, loud slow beats echoed through the air. It felt like the air was shaking, those who were close enough to the noise felt their bones rattle.
Amd then it stopped. They all expected the source of the noise to come through the hole in the roof.
Only for the roof to collapse in another section of the throne room as Igneel lowered himself into the massive room.
It was at that moment that Lisanna realized that Natsu's destructive tendencies came from his father, 'Well that explains a lot.'
Igneel looked down at Natsu from across the throne room. The dragon had a softened look on his face as he stared fondly at his son.
Natsu stared at his father with hurt and confusion dancing in his eyes, even though he couldn't help but feel relief to know he was alive.
"You... you bastard! You better have a damn good explanation for where the hell you disappeared to and why you left me for so long!" Natsu glared at his father as the tears streamed down his face. His reaction was understandable considering the situation.
Everyone else watched the interaction with either curiosity or shock -cough cough- the demigods -cough cough-.
Igneel sighed before he looked down to the ground. He took a deep breath before he started to explain, "I have a few reasons as to why I 'left', and chief among them was to protect you. All dragon slayers, at least those raised and taught by dragons, have one flaw with their dragon slaying magic.
"That flaw is that the user is eventually turned into a dragon." Everyones eyes widened in shock at the information.
Natsu had a surprised look on his face as well before he frowned, "So, you, what? Left to find a cure?"
Igneel just shook his head however before he continued, "No, Natsu. I didn't leave to find the cure. I was the cure. As are the other dragons. When we vanished it was because we used a spell that placed us, the dragons, inside the bodies of you dragon slayers. We created anti-bodies and ensured you won't become a dragon."
Natsu looked down, shaking as he refused to look at his father.
Igneel looked concerned, "Natsu? Are you o-"
Before he could finish his sentence Natsu had launched himself into his arms, the dragon quickly wrapping his massive arms around his son.
Igneel rumbled in content as he looked down at Natsu, "Don't worry my son. I will never abandon you again."
Line skip
Soon after the touching reunion had occured, the gods had settled in their thrones while the demigods recovered from the fight. A few more injured demigods, such as Thalia, shuffled on in.
Natsu, who was sticking close to his fathers side, seemed to realize something, "Hey, can you make it so that mages can get up here when the elevator is normal? Only reason I could bring Lisanna up here is because everything was kinda disrupted from Kronos doing his thing."
Zeus nodded before he snapped his fingers, "It is done. Your friends can now join us here on Olympus. We shall wait for them to arrive before we start."
Lisanna raced out of the room to go get the rest of Fairy Tail, knowing Natsu was afraid his father woukd vanish if he left his side.
While Lisanna was gone Natsu and Igneel both got and idea and turned to each other. They both huddled together and started to whisper before Igneel flew out of one of the holes in the roof. He didn't go any farther though as he stayed on the roof, peeking through the whole until he smelled Natsu's friends approaching.
It was easy to pick out the smell of a large group of mages in a world without any mages.
As the Fairy Tail mages entered the throne room, Lisanna looking confused until she glanced up and saw Igneel's smirking face causing her to giggle.
A few of the Fairy Tail mages gave her an odd look but didn't really think about it for long. For a moment the Fairy Tail mages gazed at the gods with some awe before they shook it off.
Yet before things could continue Igneel came crashing into the throne room, "RAAAHHH!"
"Everyone get back!"
"Holy shit another dragon! I could have gone my whole life without seeing another!"
"Children get behind me, I won't let this beast touch you!"
At first Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus felt some surprise and even panic. That is until they realized that this dragon had a scent that just so happened to be very similar to Natsu's.
It was then that they realized who the dragon was, but that just caused more shock for them, it also created a spark of hope in Wendy and Gajeel.
Igneel slowly approached the Fairy Tail mages, keeping up the act of hostility.
When Igneel had gotten close to the Fairy Tail mages, Natsu holding in and hiding his laughter, the Fairy Tail mages themselves looking ready to attack was when it happened.
Igneel fell back in a fit of laughter, unable to keep up this deadly monster act, "RAH HA HA HA HA! YOUR REACTIONS WERE PRICELESS!"
Everyone, bar Lisanna and the dragon slayers, all blinked once, twice, and then a third time before they all yelled out in shock, "WHAAAA?!"
It was then that Natsu let his own laughter out, clutching his side as he laughed at how his friends had reacted.
Once Igneel and Natsu both calmed down, all the gods, demigods, and other greek beings giving the dragon and dragon slayer incredulous looks, was when Natsu walkes up to the dragon and leaned against him, Igneel having a wide grin on his face.
"Guys, I would like you all to meet my father. Igneel. I finally found him."
Igneel let out a chuckled before he finally fully calmed down, "It is good to finally meet the people who have been taking care of Natsu. You all have my utmost gratitude for all that you have done."
It took a few minutes for the mages to get over their shock of both the situation and the importance of who they were meeting.
Makarov stepped forward, using his titan magic to size up his arm and hand to the right size for him to shake Igneel's hand, "It is an honor to meet the being who trained and raised Natsu, as well as an honor to meet a friendly dragon."
A rumbling sound came from Igneel's chest, "Hmmm, yes. Your encounter with the black dragon Acnologia. I regret not being able to help then but I wasn't ready."
Makarov nodded and brought his hand back, "That is completely understandable. What are your current goals?"
Igneels expression darkened at the question, "My first goal is to kill Acnologia." Somehow the mages didn't doubt that he could do it, "Second is to bring back my people. I won't explain further then that."
Zeus coughed into his hand, a look of slight irritation on his face, "May we now proceed with the ceremony?"
Igneel, along with the Fairy Tail mages, all had sheepish looks on their faces as they nodded.
Zeus awarded the brave demigods who had come to Olympus' defense, even when the odds were not in their favor.
Annabeth was made the official architect of Olympus, the news nearly making her faint on the spot.
Grover was officially appointed as a lord of the wild by Dionysus. Though unlike Annabeth he actually did faint, only to be carried away by giggling nature spirits.
Percy was offered godhood though he turned it down and used his gift to make things better for all demigods and for the minor gods.
Tyson recieved became general of the cyclops armies and was able to recieve a new weapon and he chose a club... yeah... a club.
When the gods tried to offer the Fairy Tail mages a reward they all declined, not really needing anything.
When they got to Natsu, however, he actually had a request, "I just want you guys to do one thing for me though it might be kinda difficult. I want you guys to make a portal between here and Earthland that can be accessed at any time from anyone who is from Fairy Tail or trusted by Fairy Tail."
Zeus stroked his beard as he thought about the thought before he nodded, "I think we can arange that. Do you already intend to head home?"
Natsu shook his head however, "Nah, I got a feeling the fun has only just started here. I want the portal for when we want to go back after all this is over or in case we need to call for reinforcements, and so that people here can visit my home and so that when we go back we can visit here."
The whole council, minus Ares who didn't care for Natsu's reasons, nodded in agreement and decided that they would grant his reasonable request.
Time-skip Two months
Natsu sat in front of his father in the woods. Over the past two months, in which Rachel Elizabeth Dare became the new oracle of delphi and the craziness of the war had calmed down, (Along with the relationship of Percy and Annabeth finally blooming, even Natsu saw it coming!) Natsu had been recieving further training from his father.
Igneel hummed as he looked at Natsu, "It is time. You are ready."
Natsu tilted his head, "Ready for what?"
Igneel kept his gaze on Natsu, "Dragon slayers gain a boost in power once they bathe in dragons blood. Now you don't exactly have to kill a dragon, not if the dragon gives you their blood willingly as I intend to do."
Natsu's eyes widened in excitement at the thought, "Hell yeah! I'll be able to kick the asses of all those S-class bastards now!"
Igneel chuckled at his sons response before he made a cut on his arm, letting thr blood pour over Natsu even if he was uncomfortable.
A bright red glow came from Natsu after he was bathed in Igneel's blood, the blood seeping into Natsu's skin before it was gone without a trace.
Before they had a chance to test Natsu's newfound power however, Annabeth came running towards them, halting with a frantic look in her eyes, "Natsu I need your help. Its Percy, he- he's missing."
Here is the power boost I talked about a while back. And what a reunion! So I was considering ending the story after TLO was done with but I've decided to continue. Now, I'm not gonna write about the months Percy was missing, BUT I got a little plot twist in store. Remember to Review fav and follow!
