A Dragons Revenge Chapter 3
Sorry about the late update, I've been out of town and as soon as I got home I got to work on this chapter, but when I finished it promptly decided to delete itself. So here's what I re-wrote while trying to remember everything that I wrote before. To make up for it I'll be posting another chapter this week and then the schedule will resume with one chapter every Wednesday. Other than that I hope you guys aren't too mad about not getting a chapter last week. Hope you enjoy!
I also decided to leave the harem open instead of just deciding to only have eight girls so here is the list so far:
Erza
Wendy
Canna
Levy
Lisanna
Mirajane
Hisui
Still taking suggestions for members so if you want someone leave a review
Natsu was above all things extremely happy right now. He had just been accepted into the Fairytail family, and after what happened with Igneel it felt elating to be in a family again. Nothing could ever replace Igneel, he would always be Natsu's father, but Igneel would want it this way.
Right after getting her guild stamp Wendy lead Natsu over to the table that held the two Strauss siblings that she had talked to before.
"Natsu-nii, I'd like to introduce you to my two new friends!" Wendy said with a voice full of newfound happiness after seeing her Natsu-nii all patched up. "This is Lisanna! She's really nice and she listened to me telling them the story of how you found me." Wendy said while pointing her finger at the short haired mage. "And this one is Mirajane. She's not as nice as her sister and is a bit of a goth." The young dragon slayer said with a slight snicker.
"I'M NOT A GOTH!" Mirajane yelled as she stood up from the table. A dark aura started to surround her as she walked with a menacing glare sporting her face.
Most people started to back away, not wanting to get in the way of the devil of Fairytail. Just as Mirajane was about to grab the blue haired mage, Natsu moved to block her path. Everyone was shocked at this; even the guild master himself couldn't track him when he moved.
Natsu looked up with a glare ten times scarier than Mirajane's as he spoke. "What were you about to do to my little sister?" Natsu said in a low growl.
Mirajane had already fallen on her knees before Natsu started speaking. "I- I- I wasn't g- going to do a- anything to her, I s- swear…" The white haired goth barley got out.
Wendy quickly realized what was happening and jumped into action. "Natsu-nii no!" Wendy yelled out, trying to get through to her overprotective big brother figure. "Mirajane just acts like that; she wasn't going to do anything to me."
At the sound of Wendy's voice Natsu seemed to snap out of his trance. A smile creped onto his face while he looked down at the small dragon slayer. "I'm so sorry; I thought you were actually trying to hurt her." Natsu said while rubbing the back of his neck, an embarrassed look taking over his face while he went into a low bow. "Please forgive me."
The tension in the room seemed to evaporate as everyone saw Natsu's smile. No one knew why, but when they saw the boy smile they felt like nothing could ever harm them. All the pains of the past and present seemed to fade away into nothingness.
"So this is what Wendy meant when she talked about him with such praise." Lisanna thought while looking at the pinkette.
She, along with everyone else in the guild that had been present while hearing Wendy's story, had now started to look at Natsu with a newfound admiration. Most of the females in the guild started to turn red in the face but quickly hid it.
"It's fine, I should be the one who is apologizing." Mirajane responded.
This shocked everyone to the core. Mirajane never apologized to anyone, even when she was wrong. They figured it was just the same feeling they had just experienced a second ago that made the demon act so strangely.
After everyone had calmed down Natsu and Wendy sat down with the Strauss siblings at the nearest table to get introduced like Wendy wanted before.
"Like Wendy said before I'm Lisanna." The short haired mage she then began to tell them all about Fairytail and the members of the guild itself.
Natsu, who was slowly getting bored and was tired after his battle and getting his wounds healed, decided to lay his head down on the table and take a nap.
"And the boy over there without a shirt on is-"Lisanna was stopped at the sudden sound of snoring.
All three of the girls at the table stared at Natsu with a slight smile creeping onto their faces. Each of them couldn't help but think he looked extremely cute when he was asleep. The three girls then noticed a blush adoring their cheeks and swiftly snapped out of their thoughts when suddenly the guild doors flew open. In the doorway there stood a redheaded girl, clad in generic knight's armor. As she walked in, everyone seemed to back away, not wanting to be in her path. The redhead looked around the guildhall before stopping at the table where our two favorite dragon slayers sat.
"Oh hey, look whose back." Mirajane said with a smirk. "If it isn't Erza Scarlet, ready to get beat again?"
Erza glared at her rival. "I have no clue what you're talking about, I've won the last fifty fights and you've only won forty-nine." Erza finished with a newfound smirk covering her face.
"Wannabe knight!"
"Angry goth!"
"Stupid redhead"
"Scary devil!"
Mirajane was about to spout off another insult before Erza looked past the gothic mage in front of her.
"Who are you two?" Erza asked as she stared at the two dragon slayers.
"I'm Wendy and this is Natsu-nii" Wendy said while running her fingers through Natsu's spikey hair. "We just joined up today and we were trying to learn some more about the guild from Lisanna and Mirajane."
"It looks like one of you wants to learn about the guild a little more than the other." Erza said as she started off toward the sleeping dragon slayer. Standing over the sleeping boy in front of her she decided to attempt and wake him up. "Wake up!" You redhead declared with her commanding voice that left no room for suggestions.
After a few moments of silence Erza noticed that the boy was not waking up. This agitated her to no end. She was the one that enforced the rules and everyone followed them, with no exceptions, so when a person that had just been recruited mere hours ago decides that they should just ignore her rules… well let's just say she hadn't been this mad in a while.
"Fine, if you won't listen to me then I shall just have to punish you." The redheaded knight declared as she re-quipped into her purgatory armor. "No one ignores me and gets away with it." Erza thought as she raised her massive black sword above her head, ready to strike it down on the boy in front of her, but right before she brought the blade down, Natsu seemed to of… disappeared. Before another thought could enter the girls head, her sword was ripped from her grasp and suddenly, without any sign of movement, Natsu appeared in front of her with the very sword she just held slung over his shoulder.
"Sorry about that, but just because someone's sleeping doesn't mean you should just slice them up with a sword." Natsu said while wearing one of his million jewel smile.
Erza was completely baffled. One second she was about to punish someone that didn't follow her rules, and then he was suddenly in front of her holding the very sword she was about to use. "No one should be able to move that fast." Erza thought to herself. "I couldn't even see him move up from the table, and above that I almost didn't realize he took my sword." But these thoughts were drowned out as soon as she saw Natsu's smile. It made her feel… safe, welcomed, like nothing could ever hurt her again and that was not a feeling the young mage had experienced since well… Let's just say a very long time.
"Hey are you ok?" Natsu asked suddenly moving close enough to Erza that their noses could touch. "I'm sorry if I spooked you, but you were the one that tried to hit me with a sword."
Erza, finally becoming aware of what was happening; promptly fell backwards onto the floor while her face turned a color that matched her scarlet hair. "I- I- It's f- fine, I s- shouldn't o- of attacked you l- l- like that…" The young knight struggled to get out.
Not many people really understood what just happened, but a select few girls (Ahem Lisanna, Mira, Wendy, Canna, and Levy) took notice and glared at the stuttering redhead.
Natsu, being who he was, didn't take notice and walked over to Erza to help her up. "Again I'm sorry if I scared you, but I was acting in self-defense." Natsu said with a apologetic look on his face as he stuck out his and for the young girl to take.
"Thank you and I'm sorry again, I shouldn't have done that so please punish me any way you see fit." Erza said as she took Natsu's hand to stand only to go into a low bow.
"Ok then." Natsu stated as he raised his hand above Erza's head.
This made everyone scared. They had witnessed Natsu do some feats that they weren't sure some of their strongest mages could do, and now he was going to hit Erza. Everyone in the guildhall held their breaths as Natsu brought his and down, but right before it made contact he stopped and flicked the scarlet haired mage on the forehead. Everyone in fairytail then fell to the floor in common anime fashion.
"There you go, consider yourself forgiven." Natsu said once again wearing a heartwarming smile that caused every girl inside the guild to blush.
Erza's face once again turned the color of her hair as she stood up from her bow and looked at Natsu's smile. "T- thank you f- for letting me off easy." Erza somehow got out. "M- my names E- Erza S- Scarlet by the w- way."
"What's going on?" A certain gothic mage asked herself. Mirajane currently didn't know how to feel. She wanted to feel happy at seeing her rival embarrassed like that, but she could only feel jealousy at the fact that her rival was anywhere near Natsu. "I just met him today so there's no reason to feel like this, but every time he smiles…" Mirajane couldn't even finish her thought before getting lost in thinking about Natsu's smile.
"Hey wannabe knight!" Mirajane yelled while walking over to her rival. "Just what do you think your trying to do!"
"What do you mean?!" Erza responded. "Are you trying to lose another fight!"
At that statement Mirajane lost it and threw herself at the scarlet haired knight. In the middle of their brawl they knocked over someone's drink, which caused them to join the fray, and this continued to happen until the entire guild had broken out into a classic Fairytail brawl.
"Should we try and stop them?" Wendy asked Lisanna, who seemed to be one of the only few who didn't join in the fighting.
"No, sadly this is just something that happens pretty much every day." Lisanna answered with a long sigh.
"This place is even better than I thought." Natsu said before crashing both of his fists together. "I'm all fired up!" Natsu then proceeded to jump into the middle of the fray with a smile on his face so big you would think it hurts.
Wendy looked at her brother having such a good time and couldn't help but smile herself. It had been too long since she saw Natsu-nii actually be happy. After Igneels death, Natsu would put on fake smiles whenever she was around, but one time she had gone away to go find some food and when she came back, Natsu had a dark and depressing look on his face. He had obviously been crying but most likely stopped because he sensed her presence. Not knowing what to do to help her Natsu-nii made her feel bad. He had done so much for her and she wanted so badly to repay him for what he had done Just thinking about that time almost brought Wendy to tears.
"Are you ok Wendy?" Lisanna asked with a worried look. "You had a sad look on your face."
"Oh, I was just thinking about what happened before we came here." Wendy responded, only looking sadder and sadder as she spoke. "I told you about how Natsu-nii saved me, and how he let me come live with him and his father Igneel, but I never told you why we left."
Lisanna walked over to the other side of the table to sit next to the young dragon slayer before she told her story.
Wendy started off once more. "Please don't tell anyone else about this. Natsu doesn't like talking about it because every time he does it forces him to remember… to remember when Igneel was killed."
Lisanna was absolutely shocked. She couldn't help but feel bad for the two dragon slayers, especially Natsu. He was raised by Igneel and saw him as a father, and he had seemed so happy when he talked to others.
Wendy started to tell her story once again. "We were out on one of Natsu's morning runs and I sensed the same presence of the dragon that killed Grandeeney and Igneels scent was fading. Natsu immediately ran off into the direction of the scent, but when we got there it was too late." Wendy's face suddenly had a darker look to it when she spoke. "Acnologia had already flown away and Igneel was all cut up in the middle of a crater. Natsu ran down and Igneel told us both to run away and that it was too late for him. Natsu looked so sad, but then became stone faced, grabbed my hand, and ran off away from Acnologia." Wendy started to calm down after she got past that part of the story. "We wondered around for months and Natsu never once showed any sign of sadness when I was around, he put on fake smiles to make me feel good, but when I wasn't around he would cry and blame himself for not being strong enough and I- I didn't know how to help him. Then we came here, to Magnolia, and Natsu found Acnologia and tried to fight him, but he tried to attack me and Natsu got hurt protecting me… and that's when we came here."
Lisanna didn't know what to say. She thought that her past was difficult, but it paled in comparison to what these two had been though. In that moment Lisanna promised herself she would try and help Natsu. No one person should hold onto that much pain and just bottle it up. Lisanna's thoughts were interrupted when a large voice interrupted her.
"WHAT DO YOU BRATS THINK YOU ARE DOING!" said a… well what looked like a monster that was standing on the second floor.
"W- w- w- what's that?" Wendy was able to stutter out.
Right before someone could give her an answer the monster started to shrink into the form of… THE GUILD MASTER!
"You brats keep having these brawls and destroying everything in the guild!" Makarov started. "The council has told me about all the trouble you cause on your missions and are constantly flooding me with paperwork!" The old guild master finished as a tick mark formed on his forehead. "But who cares about the council anyway!" Makarov started once again now sporting a slight grin. "We are Fairytail and that means we are a family with bonds stronger than the councils orders!" Makarov stated with a proud look in his eyes. "We will never forget the words our family was founded on… Do fairies really have tails? Do they even exist… Like them, this place as an eternal mystery…" Makarov took in a deep breath before he and everyone else started again at the same time. "A NEVER ENDING ADVENTURE!"
The entire guild let out one last yell of triumph before everyone broke off to party.
I
"Maybe we could actually find a new home here…" Natsu thought to himself with a slight smile. "Yeah, we could be a part of the Fairytail family!"
Alright, chapter over. Like I said I am sorry about the late update but to make up for it I'll try and get another chapter out tomorrow so look forward to that. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter even though I don't think it was my best because I was extremely tired and annoyed after it decided it wanted to delete itself. Other than that the schedule will proceed on as it was before with one chapter every Wednesday.
