Natsu Xiao Long, also known as Natsu the Fire Dragon, is the second child of Taiyang Xiao Long and his only son. After his meeting with his father Igneel and the two survivors of death Natsu's next sight was once more empty darkness, the difference being that this time instead of a never ending void he was in a small cramped space with what felt like another person pushing at his feet. It was only after several months of hazy consciousness that something finally happened. The pressure that he had grown accustomed to shifted and began to leave, and shortly after he followed.
What came next was a series of bleary images and odd sounds which he later learned was his early childhood. It seemed that just because he retained his memories it did not mean that his new body's mind could still function on the same level as an adult brain. That was 17 years ago.
Now 17 in body if not in soul, Natsu had full access to all the power he had accumulated in his past life just like Mavis had said. On top of this he had also invested time to follow the advice of his brother and gained control over his power that far exceeded the level he once had. Now all but his most powerful and devastating attacks could be tuned to only burn what he wants without any loss of power or speed. This along with the new forms of fire that he could now use in conjunction with the three Fairy Spells would have made him able to take on all ten Wizard Saints back in Earthland without the use of Dragon Force, which was good, because he had no doubt that after their last battle Acnologia would also have done as much as he could to improve.
Of course not everything could be perfect in his new life. Not only did he have an AWOL mother, but a dead stepmother and an overprotective father as well, and that's not even taking into account the results of Igneel's parting gift. When learning his primary magic from his foster father he was taught how to use the ancient magic 'The Flames of Emotion', allowing him to fight at higher levels then he normally could by turning the emotions associated with fire into raw power. In the past he mostly used rage to power his magic as it was the primary thing he felt when fighting an enemy- which was also the reason he could beat people stronger than Erza but never her, he never hated her or felt anything greater than a miner anger towered her. However now that he was more deeply connected with the element, he felt all the emotions bound to fire to a much greater extent all the time, Anger, Rage, Passion, Will of Life, Excitement, and the thing that was the big problem, Lust.
As a Dragon Slayer, Natsu was no stranger to such a thing- just ask Lissanna, Lucy, or again Erza (along with maybe a dozen other girls not in the guild such as Princess Hisui and Millianna) - but while in the past he would only succumb to the feeling every once in a while outside of the dragon mating season he now had to near constantly keep himself on a tight leash, least he end up bedding every girl he found even slightly attractive. Which included his two sisters.
Yang Xiao Long was his elder twin sister by just shy of five minutes. She had light purple eyes, long blond hair that had a well-kept if slightly messy appearance which along with her larger than average chest made her the definition of 'busty blond' if not as much as Lucy. Her outfit -which would be seen as odd outside the Hunstman or Wizard population- consisted of a closed short sleeved brown jacket with puffy shoulders, a matching hip cape yellow tube top, orange socks with a light purple ribbon wrapped around her left leg orange neck warmer black fingerless gloves and booty shorts and finished off with brown short heeled thigh high boots. On her wrists she wore her weapon, standard issue shotgun gauntlets in their compressed form.
His other sister was Ruby Rose, a girl two years his younger with black hair with red tips, her eyes an uncommon silver color and again an above average chest, for her age at least. She wore what could be seen as a Gothic Lolita type of getup, a black skirt with red frills a long sleeved black turtle neck again with red frills -though this time at the wrists- a black corset with red strings worn over her shirt, a dull silver magnetic belt and finally her signature red hooded cape held on by two silver crosses. Her self-built custom weapon was held on to the back of her belt under her cape in its compact form. When unfolded it had two other forms, a type of sniper rifle and a large scythe which could still use the rifle form's rounds if she so chose.
Over the years the three of them had grown close as siblings and luckily they had no clue about his past life or the attraction he couldn't help but feel for them. While he himself did not understand the taboo of incest- mostly due to him growing up in Fairy Tail where everyone called each other family even when dating and being a Dragon Slayer which made him more 'beast like' for lack of a better term- he knew that almost all frown upon it and that his sisters would almost certainly never even consider the possibility of sleeping with him. So instead he practiced his self-control while at home and occasionally went out to Junior's club to 'relieve' some of the twin bouncer's 'tension'.
Now though they were on their way to Beacon Academy, one of the premier Hunter schools in all of Remnant at the same time no less. Usually he and Yang would have ended up going two years before their younger sister but do to her catching the attention of the headmaster by helping out during a Dust robbery she was able to be pushed up two years to attend the same year as them.
Currently they were in a Dust Plane, a kind of vehicle that sailed through the air. Normally Natsu would be spending the whole ride nearly puking his guts out, luckily this world had something his old one didn't, Motion Sickness Pills. So now instead of joining the poor blond guy in running for the trash cans he was looking out the window over the city of Vale.
While doing so he was able to see his reflection in the glass. Gone were his once black eyes instead being a red the same color as his new mother's, and while his hair was still a salmon pink color it was only because he bleached his natural black hair and dyed it, if he didn't he would look almost exactly like his brother Zeref sans the eyes. His outfit consisted of a back sleeveless skintight shirt with gold edges at the shoulders and two jagged red lines running from the top to the bottom black semi baggy pants knee high black heelless boots and a brown belt with several large pouches attached, a dark brown cuff bracelet of his right wrist and all topped off with a scarf identical to the one Igneel gave him in his first life.
The pouches at his waist held several important things; one contained first aid supplies such as bandages and disinfectant along with his Motion Sickness Pills (just because he could use healing flames didn't mean he wanted everyone to know- he would be hounded by hospitals and the like), another contained emergency rations like protein bars, the third carried several Fire Dust crystals either for when he had a desire for his favorite food or if he ever needed the boost. The last one contained his scroll along with whatever book he was currently reading… what? He couldn't spend all his time fighting, so he picked up a new hobby, sue him.
However despite all the use the items he carried had, it was the band on his wrist that was the most important thing in his possession. After reviewing the magics that Mavis and Zeref gave to him he found that his brother gave him a few more things than just fire magic. These things consisted of basic meditation knowledge and tips on how to start, both basic and advanced sensory magics that would tell him not only how strong someone was but would also help him track people he knew outside of the range of his heightened senses, and finally all of his knowhow on magic sealing. While Zeref kept his promise on not teaching him how to create demons, he did teach him an aspect that he used in their development and storage. That was what his bracelet was- a high level magic seal that dampened his power to a small fraction of what it truly was. When wearing it, due to his magic now running on his Aura instead of Eathernano, he appeared to have only above average reserves to all methods of scanning so he never had to deal with someone finding out he had enough power to burn the whole kingdom of Vale, not just the capital city, to the ground if he so chose.
Natsu was broken out of his musings by the plane's doors opening, it seemed they had arrived at the school while he was lost in thought.
Stepping out of the ship with his sisters he heard their sounds of amazement as they first laid eyes on the school. While he himself didn't feel the same awe as the other two because of his past travels he did admit to being impressed. Beacon, with its high towers and large gardens was like something out of a story book.
And then Ruby saw the other students.
"Oh wow look that kid has a collapsible staff, ooo and he has a fire sword!" Ruby gushed looking adoringly at the many kinds of instruments of death that were being carried around.
"Easy there little sister," Yang told her as she pulled her back from almost chasing one of the passersby. "There just weapons you know. Why don't you gush over your own, aren't you happy with it?"
Unfolding her weapon from its compressed form Ruby quickly answered her eldest sibling, "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose. I just like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people… only better."
Here Natsu cut in, "A weapon without a wielder is nothing more than a hunk of metal, remember that Rubes. I know you don't do so well around people, but you should at least try, if for no other reason than to give Yang and I some peace of mind."
"Well, why can't I just hang out with you guys?" She asked them.
"Actually… ourfriendsjustgotheregottagocatchupbye!" Yang called out as she grabbed onto her brother's arm and dragged him along with a group of people that they knew from Signal Academy.
Natsu quickly pulled his arm out of Yang's grip and growled quietly at her, "what was that for Yang?" he asked her, "We saw these guys yesterday for crying out loud. Why'd you make us ditch Ruby for?"
"If we stayed with her now, she would never branch out to meet new people. Don't worry we'll meet up with her at the auditorium. Trust me this is for her own good." Yang told her brother before turning to one of the people they were walking with and started listening to whatever he was talking about, seeing the matter as closed.
Natsu winced as he heard an explosion go off behind them, sensing Ruby's presence at its center 'I hope you're right Yang, I may not be too worried about you, but if I die when fighting Acnologia, Ruby is going to need all the support she can get.' Sighing, the Dragon Slayer pushed such thoughts to the back of his mind as he and his twin entered the auditorium, there would be time for such thoughts later, right now he would live his life to the fullest and make sure that such an event doesn't come to pass.
Don't expect all new chapters to come out this quickly, right now I just have some time to kill between projects.
Not much happened this chapter, but it should set up a nice bases for Natsu and clean up some questions about his magic and such. Also I'm sure you've noticed how I said he has a very large amount of lust now, if anyone has any requests for how he should deal with this problem just leave a review with your pick, One Night Stands, friends with benefits, an insatiable girlfriend, or a harem, take your pick on how and who. Remember, I read all reviews but I don't listen to everything you say (flamers) or use all suggestions, but I will take them into account.
Until next time R&R people. I'm out.
