Chapter 2 – Hargeon
On a train heading towards Hargeon town
Its been 2 years since the death of Lisanna Strauss and when Natsu and Happy left the guild behind, currently they are heading towards the town of Hargeon to see if there Is any chance of finding Natsu's father Igneel and they return to the guild to see everyone.
"Oh god help me I'm gonna hurl" said a pink haired boy. "Natsu after all these years of training you still can't handle a simple train ride?" Asked a blue cat. "H….hey I trained hard ok, but when it comes to riding vehicles I Just can't do it" Natsu said while covering his mouth, "you really are strange Natsu" Happy said. "Coming from a blue flying cat, brilliant" Natsu replied.
"NEXT STOP HARGEON TOWN, ALL PASSENGERS PLEASE LEAVE THE TRAIN WITH ALL BELONGINGS IF YOU ARE GETTING OFF AT THIS STATION" shouted the train conductor. "Thank god" Natsu murmured.
Meanwhile at the Hargeon Magic Shop
"WHAT? You're telling me this is the only magic shop in this town?" Said a busty blond. "I'm afraid that's correct young lady, folks around here tend not to use magic that much" the shop keeper replied. "So what your saying is I wasted my time coming all this way" the girl said. "Now now I wouldn't be so sure, here why don't you get one of these, all the girls love them, it's a colour magic which allows you change the colour of your clothes" the shopkeeper explained. "I already have one of those, wait you have the little doggy gate key" the girl squealed. "Yes but that one's not very strong" the shopkeeper stated. "I know but I really want it, soooo how much is it" she asked. "20,000 jewel" he replied. The room went so silent you could hear a pin drop. "Oh come on how much is it for me though" the girl said while posing on the desk and giving a flirty wink.
5 minutes later
"He only knocked off a 1000 jewel, that old man must have really shit standards if he thinks I'm only worth that much, oh well at least I have the gate key" she said while holding the key tight. While the girl was walking along the port she heard other girls talking about a man named salamander who was apparently just down the straight, the girls seemed quite ecstatic to see this man.
"T…the salamander? I've heard of him he's a really famous fire wizard, I gotta see this" she said. When she got down through the crowd of girls and seen this man her heart started to beat like crazy. "Why is my heart beating so fast at the sight of this guy?, Am I in love ahhhhhhh" the girl screamed until she heard another males voice. "IGNEEEL!" A boy screamed. Salamander turned round and was now face to face with this boy. It was none other than good old Natsu. Suddenly the blond had come to her senses and seen that Natsu's facial expression change from ecstatic to disappointment. "Who the fuck are you?" he said to the Salamander. "WHO AM I" salamander replied in astonishment. "I'm salamander surly you've heard of me?" The man replied. "Nope no you aren't" Natsu replied. This got the fangirls really annoyed however happy stepped in just in time.
"Wait Natsu I know who that is, that's Bora of Prominence, he's a Slave trader who recently got removed from the Titan Nose Guild" Happy explained. "So he's a scumbag is what your telling me" Natsu said while giving Bora very cold look. "Oh I'll show you who's a scumbag you little punk Red Shower" Bora shouted. Bora smiled as the attack hit Natsu but then looked on in fear as Natsu simply ate the attack. "Ugggh disgusting flames you got there pal I gotta say" Natsu said while giving a Bora a scary grin. "Wait he isn't the real Salamander?" some of the fangirls started to bicker amongst each other while the blond girl looked on in shock. "H…. he just ate his fire how did he do that?" She asked. "My friend Natsu is the real salamander and he's a fire dragon slayer meaning he can eat fire so he can boost up his power in a pinch" Happy explained to the girl. "Fire dragon slayer"! she said in shock. "AYE oh by the way Natsu, Bora has been saying he's a member of fairy tail for quite a while recently so give him hell" Happy said. "Is that so? Well well well you think you can just tarnish the name of fairy tail can you? You make me sick" Natsu said with anger in his voice. "H….hey can't we talk about this… please" Bora asked in fear. "Hmmmmm nope I feel like kickin someone's ass today so have some of this Fire dragon… ROARRRRR" Natsu shouted his attack at Bora. Bora was left on the ground burnt to a crisp. "Oww" was all the salve mage could say. "Don't ever mess with the name fairy tail again" Natsu said. "Yes sir I won't do it again" Bora said quietly in pain.
"Alright girls there's nothing to see here, go back to your regular duties" Natsu stated as the group of fan girls fled the scene except for one blond. "Wow….. You're really something else aren't you" she said to the pinkette. "Thanks but that was nothing" Natsu said with a toothy grin. "Hey you guys helped me back there so how about I treat you to some lunch?" she said.
At the diner
Natsu and Happy were busy stuffing their faces with the food provided by their new friend.
"Urrr can you guys slow down, food is kinda flying everywhere" she said. "Sorry, it's just so good" Natsu explained. "RRrright errr Natsu and Happy was it?" She asked AYE they both said. "It's nice to meet you both, my names Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia" she said while smiling. Natsu stopped eating for a second, "Heartfilia? I swear that name rings a bell I think I heard it on my travels" he said in his mind. "What brings you guys to Hargeon?" she asked. "We were lookin for my dad Igneel king of the fire dragons but he wasn't here, I thought he was that salamander guy, turns out he was a fake" Natsu said while sighing, "wait your saying your dads a dragon?... WHY would a fire dragon be in the middle of a town" she shouted" Natsu and Happy were both about to enquire but didn't have an answer. "It's totally obscure , anyways I was wondering Natsu can I ask you something?" Lucy said nervously. "Sure what is it?" He asked. "I was wondering can I come with you to join fairy tail" she asked while looking away.
"Hey there's no need to be nervous of course you can" he said while smiling. "AYE" happy shouted. "Really oh thank you so much" Lucy said with stars in her eyes. "No problem, now what do you say about blowing this joint and head there now" Natsu asked the both of them "AYE I can't wait to go home, it's been 2 years since we've seen everybody" happy stated
"2 years?" Lucy said in astonishment. "Yea it's a long story but I promise I'll explain it all once we get to the guild and make you an official member" Natsu said. "Ok if you say so let's go" Lucy said with excitement. 2AYE" both Natsu and Happy shouted. "I'm coming home Mira" Natsu said in his mind with a blush on his face.
The 3 then headed towards the train station much to Natsu's discomfort but all were full of optimism as they headed for fairy tail.
Meanwhile at fairy tail
A white haired busty bar maid was sitting cleaning away and serving everybody there drinks, Mirajane Strauss still was the demon of the guild after her training of 2 years but became a more kind and gentle person but piss her off and that can change in an instant. While serving she overheard a conversation between Macao and Wakaba.
"Did you hear apparently there was some guy called Bora who was causing a stir in Hargeon, apparently he was pretending to be Natsu and apparently it didn't go to well cause our boy was there and kicked his ass" Wakaba said. "Get out of here, Natsu was in Hargeon, my god that's great news, I'm very happy to hear he's still out there cause damn do I miss that kid" Macao said. "Don't you worry I know for a fact he will be back soon" Wakaba said.
Mira smiled in relief knowing Natsu was still alive and we'll but felt a rush of sadness come to her as she missed her crush deeply but knew that she would see him soon enough. "Please come home soon Natsu, I need you back cause I miss you" Mira said with her face going red.
Little did she know that Natsu was on his way home for the first time in 2 whole years.
