Before I get on with the story I'd like to thank everyone for the support because it was quite shocking, so…

Thank You.

Also quite a few people have asked whether Natsu will be trained by Primitus, and while I agree that would be awesome, it would most definitely be overkill. Due to his already impressive power that will keep on increasing until I decided it's enough, so no Time Dragon Slayer Magic. Lastly if any of you have any ideas you think would be good to add to this story, fell free to leave them in a review or PM me, this includes any made up Arcs you have that could apply.

Now that's out of the way, ONWARD!

X773, a Deserted Mountain

"Natsu, Son, we need you to tell us everything you can possibly remember after X777."

So he did. He went into extreme detail (well extreme detail for Natsu) of what he could remember after waking up on X777 and finding Igneel gone. Igneel looked a little pained when he heard that his son spent hours looking for him before he bumped into Makarov.

He told them about his friends and his adventures, both Igneel and Primitus looked extremely interested when they heard that his friend Lisanna was sent to a place called Edolas but stopped themselves from asking questions until the end. Natsu then went on to explain his major fights and what they entailed.

Bora the Prominence (Igneel agreed that there were some flames that should not be eaten), Erigor, Lullaby (both dragons looked furious at the name of one of Zeref's demon), Igneel looked positively smug when he heard that he had beaten the iron dragon slayer, smugness turned to shock turned to pure joy when the two titans heard that he unlocked Dragon Force (though he did get a smack round the back of the head for his foolishness).

Laxus (Igneel had a thoughtful look on his face for some reason), the Oración Seis, King Faust and his Dragon Knight (the two titanic beings both looked disgusted at the thought of an artificial dragon), hid fight with Zancrow (at which stated that in that case it really only mattered about power), his fight with Master Hades (at this point both dragons jaws dropped when they heard he had eaten lightning and gained Thunder Flame Dragon Mode) and lastly his power match with Acnologia.

He took nearly five hours explaining his adventures to Primitus and Igneel, once he had finished they started questioning him about several other areas which included a list of all his current spells, because Igneel had stated that if he had another four years to train then he was going to train him new ones and that he could perfect them in his own time. Primitus also mentioned that Igneel should go find Tonitrua the Thunder Dragon and see if he could help further develop his skills in that area.

Of course this got Natsu excited and caused him start shouting how he was going to be the strongest and that Laxus or Guildarts wouldn't stand a chance. He would have continued if Primitus hadn't bashed him over the head with her tail. Once he settled down they told him to go rest as the experience of going back in time and seeing you long lost father would be extremely draining, both physically and mentally.

Natsu agreed stating that he did feel a little tired, once the boy had gone the dragons settled into a discussion about what they had just heard. Both of them were impressed by Natsu's sheer determination in some of those life threatening situations. They also agreed that Natsu would need a lot more training now since he had almost triple his magic power when he was originally this age, this meant he would need harsher training for two reasons, one he would need to cope with the amount of power has at his beck and call (and that's without his second origin, both dragons shudder at the thought of that amount of magical power in one being), also it was to make Natsu more serious. From what they could tell Natsu still had a rather childish personality, and he could not just go changing the future to make a better life for his friends (not to mention Primitus threatened Igneel with … well let's keep it PG).


It was the next day and Natsu had never felt better. One – he had his father back, Two – he was even more powerful, Three – he could train to become even stronger, Four – he had the means to make a better future. Of course before all of that he had to have breakfast, he had priorities you know.

So he went back to where he remembered the 'kitchen' was and made himself a small (for Natsu) meal to enjoy. Once finished he hurried outdoors just in time to see the other dragon that he had never even heard of give a nod and fly off.

"Dad, are we going to start training now? Please start training me, I want to become even stronger, then I can kick everyone's ass!" Natsu shouted, bouncing around like a hyped up five year old.

"Natsu, we will be training today, however it will not be the same. First off, from now on every morning you will be doing physical exercise, this will include 500 push ups, 250 sit ups, a 15 mile jog and all this will be done with a gravity seal on you. As you progress we will increase the gravity that way your speed and strength will improve immensely." Igneel stated much to Natsu's joy, this would surely make him stronger than ever.

"After this we will have a small break in order to rest, in these breaks I will be drilling tactics into your head. Then we will be practicing your fighting skills, this will also be done with gravity seals on. This will be followed by a normal education, I know how you acted in the … past? … But I will not have you tarnishing my name by acting as a fool. Then lastly you will have magical training in which I will teach you knew spells to use, and we will work on Dragon Force. Again, this will be done with gravity seals, actually for the next four years you will be under constant gravity seals.

You will have Sundays off, on these days I expect you to do your physical training and then practice perfecting techniques and combos, both physical fighting and magical. There will be no debate about this, I will let you have this day off, so pray to whatever belief you have, because the next four years will be complete and utter hell." With that dark thought Igneel left to set up the training grounds for Natsu.

Natsu on the other hand was as white as snow and shaking like a leaf. Never in all his years of knowing his father did he feel this scared. Originally when Igneel first started describing his training Natsu was excited, shown by his huge smile. When gravity seals were mentioned it faltered a little before coming straight back. When he heard tactics and education, it became forced, then add into that his fighting both physical and magical, sweat started to appear on his face. The final straw a when he heard that he would never get to take off the gravity seals, that was when his face became one of horror.

Deciding the best thing he could possibly do was to mentally prepare himself, Natsu wandered off to his little peaceful place. It was something he discovered when he was younger. It was a small clearing in the forest surrounding his home, it had a small lake in the middle (small enough that he could make it there but deep enough that he had to swim), and in the middle of that lake was an island with nothing but a boulder and palm tree on it. He would sit on the boulder with his back against the palm tree and watch the animals come and go, listen to the birds sing, and smell the earthy nature that the wind carried.

Despite himself Natsu soon found himself falling asleep to the sounds of the birds chirping at each other. Four hours late Igneel found his son, and gazed at him affectionately. This was the greatest thing that had happened to him since his mate, Magmata the Lava Dragon died, well he assumed she died as he hadn't heard from her for around 350 years.

Igneel then picked Natsu up carefully in order not to wake him, the as gently as a dragon could flew back home to put him to sleep. Once he as tucked in, Igneel went to his part of the cave and snickered to himself quietly.

'Oh Natsu, I can tell your going to cause a lot of trouble for someone later in life.'


Somewhere a perverted old man had sudden visions of thousands of bills for destruction of property and hundreds of written letters of apology, forcing him to stop reading his special magazines.


It was the next day and Natsu woke up to the same alarm he would have every day for the next four years.

"GET UP BRAT, IT'S TIME FOR TRAINING!"


Now I would like everyone to state whether they want the appearance of the Lightning Dragon or not, because all he would do is further strengthen an already existing mode, therefore Natsu will not be too OP.

Also if everyone could state what they want the pairing to be, I can start planning ahead, this will make things easier, so if you could please put a vote on my poll the it would be greatly appreciated, NO SLASH. While I have nothing against homosexuals, that's just... eww.

Lastly it has come to my attention that I never put a disclaimer, so... I do not own Fairy Tail.

Thanks again
