Meh.
"Gray do we have everything?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Lucy?"
"All packed and ready to go!"
"Okay, time to head out."
Lucy, Gray, and Erza headed out in the middle of the night to look for Natsu, rumor has it that there has been a 'fire god' near a mountain village. All of a sudden there is fire raining upon the forest of a village, burning it, but then is vacuumed back to where it came from to a single point. People thought it was a warning, but our team thinks it's a Natsu.
The team hitched a ride of a supply carriage, sitting and thinking about that night. The whole trip was silent, until..
*Muffled* "SKY DRAGON'S ROAAAAR!"
Then all of a sudden, a huge tornado appeared from one of Erza's luggage, with clothes flying everywhere, to reveal Wendy, Happy, and Carla.
Wendy chuckled, "Dramatic, no?"
Everyone just stared at the the girl and the two exceeds, in shock and amazement. Someone finally asked, "Wendy what are you doing here?"
Then the exceeds and the sky dragonslayer's expressions then went dark.
"We don't trust you."
Eerie silence filled the empty wagon as Wendy and the others sat down in a corner and burrowed into the blankets they borrowed from the suitcase they came out of.
Erza, Lucy, and Gray looked at each other, unsure of what is going to happen.
Natsu's P.o.v.
"FIRE DRAGON'S...ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
The sprial of fire shot out of my mouth, and collided with the mountain, making a huge hole in the middle. Most of the fire bounced off, making meteor-like fireballs raining down on the forest.
Before it could burn any more trees, I sucked it up the fire into my mouth. Rubbing my mouth with my arm, I murmured and smirked, "Heh, there's a fire in my belly.."
I then remembered all the times I said it, and how I was with my family, the good times I had with Fairy Tail, and then growled, There not your family anymore they hate you..And you hate them.. Then my thoughts have been mixed together in with my emotions, I started to cry.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I punched the mountain, causing a whole, big chunk of rock to collapse and fall down, crashing down on the trees and dirt.
Rubbing my knuckle, I talked to myself, my only friend, "I need more training.."
"...AND an actual, decent meal." I told myself while sitting down on the chunk of rock that fell down.
Then the memories started flooding back again. Why can't you leave me ALONE!
My eyes started swelling with tears.
NO NATSU! YOU CAN'T MISS THEM! They aren't who you know anymore..
I touched my neck, feeling the scar I made myself, funny. When me and the whole team went back in ti- NO!
I then remembered, that's were my scarf used to be, it..it felt like Igneel..it felt like home...I..I want it back..b-but..THEY RIPPED IT TO SHREDS! THEY BEAT UP HAPPY! THEY RUINED MY LIFE! I WISH I NEVER MET THEM!
I started to sob, then releasing my frustration with a roar, yelling loudly.
"FIRE DRAGON'S JET SPIRAL" My two legs became engulfed in fire, then boosting me up through the air, spirals of fire shooting out from under me.
I reached the peak of the mountain, releasing a "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" at the top, releasing every bit of anger out of me, like a beacon of energy shooting toward's the sky.
The roar began to dim and disappear, and then and only then, I started to sob, get everything out, and so that people couldn't hear it from the bottom.
I-t's s-so h-hard, w-w-why d-does bad t-things h-ha-ave to ha-a-ppen t-to ...
Then I stopped cry, tears still streaming from my eyes, snot from my nose, I began sniffing.
Shit, they're here.
I enhanced my vision to see Erza, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla hanging around the hotel.
Crap.
They were staring at me, well the peak to be precise, in awe.
I jumped down from the huge height, "FIRE DRAGON'S JET SPIRAL", the flame stopping me just in time to land safely.
What do I do, What do I do, WHAT DO I DO?! I said as I walked in a circle, wiping the tears and snot from my face.
I knew they were coming, so I had to do something, fast.
And I didn't want to come, I hate them, I wanna kill'em.
Good idea..Why not? I chuckled evily, then sighed.
They're too weak too toy with. And besides, I'm not that evil (yet) and Wendy, Happy, and Carla didn't do anything.I looked around for something, then I saw the lava oozing from the hole I created.
I smirked, That'll work.
A few minutes before..
The wagon went to a halt, as everyone got off.
Gray was stretching his arms, body, and neck.
Lucy was looking if everything was accounted for.
Erza talked to the hotel manager for some rooms.
Wendy, Happy, and Carla just walked into the hotel and made themselves comfortable in the guest room.
And that's when they heard the-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Everyone, and I mean everyone in the town, went outside to see a rare sight to see.
A huge column of fire melting through the mountains living there, with fireballs raining down everywhere on the forest, burning the trees down.
But before the fire could travel to the other trees, a vacuums of fire were, what it appeared to be, sucked up to a single point.
Natsu.
The team looked at each other, then looked back too see a huge chunk of rock fall down from the mountain.
"I guess rumor's true," Gray half-yelled over the collapsing of rock.
What awed them was when they saw a figure, flying through the air with spirals of fire pro-pulsing their body, and reached the peak.
Then a huge pillar of fire swirled from the top of the peak, the clouds giving way for the beam and orbiting around it, like an eye of a hurricane.
But the beam of fire, sounded more like a roar, a roar of frustration, sadness, anger.
The roar of Natsu.
Again the team looked at each other, and nodded 'let's go', and ran through the crowd toward the mountain.
The team sprinted up the cobblestone path toward the mountain, hearing these odd rumbling sounds. Happy and Carla soared through the air with their aera magic.
The two exceeds had difficulty flying through the sky, everything seemed to rumble. They both agreed to investigate where it came from to make sure it was nothing serious.
As they flew along, they saw the team run as fast as they can through the thick forest, Erza in her black wing armor cutting through the shrubs, Gray freezing the trees and breaking them, Wendy levitating above, thanks to a new spell she was still working on.
Happy looked for the celestial mage. Where's Lucy?
Happy looked back to see Lucy way behind, fighting a perverted Taurus who said he needed payment for all the things he did, a sexy payment. She summoned Loki to fight him off, saying she just wanted him to cut the trees.
The blue cat just shook his head, You're such a failure, Lucy. Happy thought as he saw her run to catch up.
"Carla!" Happy yelled across the clouds turning his head from the blonde, "You see anything?!"
"N- wait..what's that!?" Carla shouted back as both of them flew ahead a few miles to a deep, dark hole.
"WOAH!" Happy shouted in terror as they stopped just in time to avoid a huge geyser of lava spluttering out.
The two looked to see other, not other many, geysers erupt with lava in a huge beam, only to rain down.
"WATCH OUT!" Carla screamed.
The two flew out of there, with Carla in wonder and curiosity, "Is it me or do those holes look like they were dug?"
"Uh, I don't think we have time to hover here and thing, look!" Happy pointed to a huge stream of lava running down the pathway the team was on.
All the trees were burning down, being consumed in the liquid, hot rock, with some animals being eaten alive with the orange goop.
Carla began flying the same direction of the river of lava, Happy followed in pursuit, "Hurry we have to go war- OOF-"
Happy tackled Carla mid-air only to be slapped by her. "WATDIDYOUDODATFOR!?"
Rubbing his cheek, he grabbed her hand and zoomed to the right, barely dodging a speeding rock inflamed, crashing into the ground, making a huge crater.
In shock, Carla froze, only to her Happy say, "Your welcome."
The flying cats turned around in awe and terror to see a meteor shower of rocks engulfed in fire, plunging down on them.
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Happy screamed while abandoning Carla by flying in the opposite direction.
Flying after him with a tick mark on her head she yelled, "DON'T LEAVE ME HERE! AND IT'S FLY YOU IDIOT!"
Happy and Carla narrowly dodged the rocks, barely missing their paws, and they almost reached the ground.
"WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" Happy yelled, "JUST HANG ON!"
"HANGONTOWHATYOUABANDONEDMEYOUSTINKI-"
"CARLA WATCH OUT!"
Two huge meteor-like rocks engulfed in flame, ash, and dust, which made the two cough, collided together in mid-air.
Chunks of rock flew everywhere, pounding at the exceeds. It knocked on Carla the hardest, making it hard on her.
Then a small pebble from the debris sped at the speed of a bullet and punctured through Carla's wing, only for her to scream.
And meet face-to-face with another meteorite.
"CAAAAAAAAAAAAARLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
As the blue exceed flew after his love (well not yet but we know it's gonna happen, so it's 'love'), the two rocks had lava inside of them.
And it flew into both of Happy's wings.
Eating.
It.
Away.
"AAH!" Happy stumbled in the air, struggling to keep from falling, his vision blurred. It was only pure luck that he didn't get hit by anything.
He looked back at the team. Wendy.. He looked at the fragile, white cat plunging to the Earth, being carried away by a meteorite. Carla..
It was a split-second decision in extreme pain, either the team or his 'love', and he made the obvious choice.
"MAX SPEED!"
I'm coming Carla!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAARRRGGGGGGGHHH!" Happy yelled in pain as he felt the lava still eating away at him.
He flew fast enough to fly past the meteorite and catch Carla from colliding with the ground, though he still crash landed on his wings.
He cursed in extreme pain. But on the upside, the dirt put out the lava and there was no serious damage!
But a bunch of other meteorites decided to help it's friend and it speeded down on the two exceeds.
Happy sighed in pain and 'OMGIT'SNOTDONE' and braced for pain.
"SKY DRAGON'S ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
A huge tornado caught the rocks and swirled it back at other incoming projectiles.
Wendy rushed over to the injured exceeds. "I saw you guys being assaulted by the meteor shower too! I rushed over here, it has been assaulting us too!"
"W-W-Wendy.." Happy sputtered out as he coughed out blood, "T-there's a huge river...of lava..y-you have to stop..stop it.."
"Thanks for the heads up Happy, I'm going to go to the team, sta-" Wendy stopped talking to gaze at the huge shadow that popped out of nowhere on the ground.
The two turned to see a huge meteor 100 times the size of Wendy.
"SKY DRAGON'S ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
No effect.
"DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ART: SHATTERING LIGHT: SKY DRILL!"
A beam of swirling light came in contact with the huge meteor, only to bounce off and hit Wendy, making her slide into the ground, moaning in pain.
"We're done for, we're going to die," Happy whimpered, clutching an unconscious Carla in his arms. Wendy tried to get up, but collapsed on the ground.
(*A whoosh could be heard, cue hopeful, Fairy Tail music*)
A pink blur sped past them, in a speed so fast not even the wind could follow it. It headed straight for the meteor, and it suddenly became immersed in flames.
As soon as it came in contact with the rock, the rock exploded, the debris flying everywhere but Happy, Carla, and Wendy's direction.
There the pink blur stopped at a distance too far and blurry to see it, it was also standing with dust swirling around him like a hurricane, indicating his power.
Happy stared in a gaping mouth, Natsu, is that you?
He walked off toward the dust, whispering something.
I didn't mean for you guys to get hurt.
I'm sorry.
With a slight gasp, Happy passed out in fatigue and shock.
The last thing he saw was Wendy chasing after him.
"So wait, repeat that again," Erza said while she sat down in puzzlement after walking in circles in confusement.
Wendy, Gray, Lucy, and Erza were in the waiting room of the Fairy Tail infirmary, they rushed home to tend to Happy and Carla. Wendy save the team just in time from the lava by cooling it with her sky dragon's roar. While they waited, she told them all of what happened.
"What did Natsu mean when he said 'I didn't mean for you guys to get hurt.'" Lucy interrupted Erza.
"Well I don't know," Wendy sarcastically said, "Maybe if it weren't for you guys being sooooo nice to him, like ripping his only memory has from his father, hurting all of his friends, all of the very nice things you said about him..."
Silence filled the room, along with guilt from the heartless team.
"I guess he was trying to warn us, ya know, with the huge meteor shower and all.." Wendy suggested.
"Actually, he was." Erza re-quipped a lacrima out of her hand, placed it on the table, and a blue screen popped up. "Look at it."
On the screen, it showed a picture of a huge boulder, with words carved with lava saying 'LOOK FOR ME AGAIN AND I WILL KILL YOU'.
Wendy rolled her eyes, saying 'I'm not surprised.'
Then, in the brink of silence, Mira walked out of the room Happy and Carla was in. Everyone stood up, eager to see if they were okay.
Mira smiled at the Wendy, but veered away from the rest.
"They're in there, also be quiet, they're resting." Mira smiled, "They are going to be fine."
Improvements. Yes? No?
Gimme some feedback please.
