Hello, everyone the next chapter is here. Thank you all for the reviews, favorites and follows, with the Anonymous Fanfic Author and Omni Creator Kami of Anime with the ones who inspired me the most. Thank you so much!
As for the harem, instead of 13, I will have 16 and I am going to add Lisanna to the poll. Sorry I didn´t do that earlier. I would like to thank Omni Creator Kami for the suggestion. Also, beware of some OOCs.

In a forest, Natsu walked in it with his black cloak covering himself. It has been a month since he left the guild, and even if it took him a hundred years, he wouldn't forget it.
One month earlier, a day before the mission with the Strauss...
"Are you sure you don't need me?" Natsu asked as Lisanna was about to go on a S-rank mission with her siblings.
Natsu was wearing a black vest with red markings, black pants with red ribbons, black sandals, a brown belt with a cross shaped silver buckle, a black cloth with red lining and his white scaly scarf. Happy was with him and had a green back pack and green Fairy Tail symbol on his back.
"Natsu, don't worry. It will be fine. We have Mira with us and its good to have Elfman getting practiced on his Take Over Magic." Lisanna said.
Lisanna wore a dark red dress with a white collar, with a white collar and bow, black, tall socks and brown shoes.
"Then promise me that you will come back to me, Happy and the rest of the guild." Natsu said as he and his adoptive son had their pinky fingers.
Lisanna did the same with a smile.
"Promise." Lisanna said as her, Natsu´s and Happy´s pinky fingers touched.
"LISANNA! HURRY WE NEED TO GO!" Mira yelled, getting Lisanna´s attention.
Mira´s attire was similar to the one she wore on her childhood, but wore more a revealing top. Elfman wore a black jacket with white buttons and black pants.
Lisanna immediately sprinted to her siblings while looking a Natsu and Happy.
"See you tomorrow, Natsu, Happy!" Lisanna said and then went with her siblings.
As Natsu and Happy watched Lisanna and her siblings leave, Happy...
"Natsu, will we see Lisanna soon?" Happy said to his adoptive father. Natsu gave a gentle smile to the blue cat.
"We will Happy. We see her once she and her siblings get back, we meet her the first thing we do." Natsu said, making Happy smile.
"Natsu, can I have a fish? I´m hungry." Happy complained. "What? You just ate. I am hungry through." Natsu said. "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ATE ALL THE FISH, WHICH IS IS WHY I AM HUNGRY!" Happy yelled. "I coulnd´t help, I was hungry." Natsu pouted, making Happy sweat drop.
The next day...
As Natsu arrived at the guild next morning, he only saw sorrow, misery and grief, as the guild members cried, with Mira and Elfman crying the most.
As Natsu asked what happened, someone finally said that during the mission, when Elfman tried to take over the beast they fought, Elfman lost control, transformed into it and went to a berserker rage, destroyed everything in his path and eventually, hit Lisanna... and killed her.
Natsu shadowed his eyes as Happy cried. Cried thinking it was some lie, a lie to spread sorrow thorugh the guild, which it wasn't and was something the other hopes.
Before the others knew it, Natsu dashed out of the guild, not showing his tears, with leaving a confused and sad Happy, who then followed him.
Later, at the old stone house...
Natsu, who was in front of the old house where, he, Lisanna, Mira and Erza were watching over Happy while he still was in his egg.
Happy was at the side of his knee.
Elfman, Mira and Erza, was behind him, with the siblings bandaged and with tears. Lisanna´s death had caused them the most sorrow, as much as Natsu was.
"Natsu... I'm sorry... if I hadn't been so weak to handle the Take Over... what kind of brother I am, killing his own sister without knowing it...!" Elfman said.
"Natsu... I bet you hate me and Elfman now... I know Lisanna means everything to you as to me... I saw the moments you and Lisanna had... the time we raised Happy together... those quests we went on... even the times me and Erza fought... It´s okay if you hate us... cause we weren't able to save our sister..." The bandaged Mira thought as she cried.
As Erza was at the right side of Mira, she looked at the old house and remembered the times she had with her Mira, Lisanna and Natsu. She couldn't forget those time, no matter what.
"Don't blame yourself, Elfman." Natsu said.
"Huh?" Elfman said.
"Why do you cry? Do you think its would make things better if you cry? It only makes things worse. Instead of crying, you should be moving forward. Instead of blaming yourself, you should be strong. Instead of being weak, be a man." Natsu said as he turned around, showing his tears.
"A... man...?" Elfman said.
"Mira..." Natsu said as he then went to Mira, with his eyes shadowed and hugged her.
"Mira... Don't blame yourself too... no ones to blame... except for one... me..." Natsu said, shocking the three.
"I shouldn't have come with you. I had the power to protect, and I wasn't there. Instead I went to hang out with Happy like drinking buddies and having fun while you suffered like hell... You truly hate me, do you... Mira?..." Natsu said as he started to cry more than before.
"DON'T BE A MORON!" Erza said and punched Natsu in the face to the ground.
Natsu, rubbing his face while looking at Erza, while Elfman and Mira did the same.
"Erza..." Natsu could only say.
"Mira... she may be a bitch... a slut... hell, even my rival... but she is my guild mate... and so is Lisanna. We all suffered from this and you are right! We shall move on and learn from our mistake.
She then Re-quipped her a sword in her hand and raised it to the air.
"We shall take this as a tragedy, an incident, a lesson..." Erza said as she then started to cry.
"To learn that we need to move on... even if the worst happens... cause we are Fairy Tail... a guild... a home..." Erza said.
"...a family..." Erza said, as she then placed the sword on the ground.
Natsu gave a small grin of Erza´s encouragement, as well did Mira, who had some tears left, but not of sorrow of Lisanna´s death, but of Erza speech of moving forward, with Elfman looking at her like a prophet.
As she saw Natsu smiling, she then dried her tears, smiling as well.
"Natsu, you truly are friend, I can´t see a reason to dislike you. You can truly bring the inner strengths of people, making you truly a wizard, with magic more powerful than anything... which is why I love you..." Erza thought.
Present...
As Natsu wandered across the woods, he finally came across a town small town where it was raining like crazy non-stop. As the rain drops fell on his hood, he made sure that Happy was secure under his cloak.
Happy then woke up and then saw the rain.
"Natsu, why is it so rainy? It was fine a second ago." Happy said. "Don't look at me, I didn't know it was going to rain. Besides, does my Dragon Slayer Magic makes rain?." Natsu said, but then noticed a women sitting on a bench over a tree, with her pink umbrella with red hearts unfolded.
She had blue hair that was curled, dark blue eyes, a blue dress with white fur, as well as a teru teru bozu on it, a blue russian hat with white fur and brown boots.
"Who is that girl?" Natsu thought as he walked towards her.
"Drip. Drip. Drop." The blue haired girl said sadly. "Excuse me, but is there something wrong?" Natsu asked with Happy popping out of his cloak. The girl, ignoring the fact he had a blue cat sticking out of his cloak, she sadly said:
"Juvia is so lonely." The girl, now known as Juvia said. "Juvia?" Natsu said confused, not knowing she was talking in third person. "Sorry, my name is Juvia Lockser. I talk in third person and I am very sad, lonely and depressed." Juvia said as she introduced herself. "I am Natsu Dragyama and this is my partner Happy." Natsu introduced himself and his partner. "Aye." Happy said.
"May we sit down next to you?" Natsu asked the blue haired woman, much to her shock. During her life, she was constalty requesting to be with others, only for them to reject her due to her Magic made it rain.
"Uh, Juvia?" Natsu asked the rain woman. Juvia snapped out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh, its no problem, please sit down." Juvia said, which Natsu then sat down. He then took of his hood and then: "Why are you so sad, Juvia?" Natsu asked. Juvia looked down on the ground with sadness. "Juvia is lonely, Natsu-san. Since childhood, I have been having trouble of making friends, making me very lonely, due to my Magic, Water." Juvia explained.
"So that´s it was raining suddenly." Natsu said. "Sorry about that." Juvia apologized. "Why? I don't see a problem with it." Natsu said, who then noticed Juvia had her eyes shadowed. "Juvia, what is it?" Happy said. "Juvia... have always thought that her Magic, brings nothing but sadness and sorrow to those around her, as makes it rain on the shiniest of days, making people reject her. Hell, it even made the man I used to date for a while to dump me." Juvia said sadly.
Natsu´s eyes widened. She saw her Magic, who isn't bad, in fact, for Natsu was a wonder, a nuisance?!
Natsu then put his left hand on Juvia´s shoulder.
"Huh, Natsu-kun?" Juvia said confused. "Juvia, did you say your magic bring nothing but sorrow?" Natsu said, much to Juvia´s surprise. "Wrong. I know there are magic in the world that brings nothing but sorrow, which I have heard from gramps, but your Magic isn´t. I bet you can do a lot of awesome things with it such as making pools, water rides, making baths more fun..." Natsu said. "Catching fishes more easily..." Happy said as he drooled, making Natsu sweat drop and Juvia giggle, not noticing she was becoming happy.
Natsu noticed it and then gave a small grin, but then...
"And compared to mine, it is like one of the purest Magics, there is." Natsu said, making Juvia confused.
Natsu then coated his left hand in black smoke, much to Juvia´s shock.
"I am a Abyss Dragon Slayer, in other words, my power is the power of darkness. I bet your magic makes it look like a fairy tale than depressing." Natsu said.
During his life after he left Aquarius´ key to Layla, and before joining Fairy Tail, he was constantly taunted by others of how his Magic, how negative it was and how it couldn't have any positive drawbacks. He wanted to beat them to learn not to mess with them, but Yoruyama told him that those kind of battles wasn't worth fighting, so he ignored them.
The time he got to Fairy Tail, joined them, made friends, went to missions and even raised the egg with Lisanna, Mira and Erza, it still didn't make him stop thinking of his Magic.
"Juvia, if there something I am wondering, that is why you hadn't any friends. You are as beautiful as a ocean." Natsu said, making Juvia blush at Natsu´s sudden statement.
She had never heard one said that, not even from the guy she used to date for a while.
"Natsu... thank you..." Juvia said. "Huh?" Natsu said. "For encouraging me. For making me realize my Magic isn't made to make sadness. But mostly for doing good things." Juvia said cheerfully, making Natsu grin.
She then got up from the bench.
"So, how about a treat you for lunch, as a thank you for encouraging me." Juvia said. Natsu´s stomach crumbled loud enough to mistaken for a wolf, making Happy laugh and Juvia giggle. "Isn't that what a wife does, a woman giving man food?" Natsu said bluntly, making Juvia blush deep red, with steam coming out of her head, the second she heard "wife."
"W-wife?! Me?! I can´t even think about being a wife! I mean, not for this, cute, handsome, man with a..." Juvia thought embarrassed, as Natsu then got up, with Happy then lost balance and then fell down, gripping his cloak, revealing Natsu to be shirtless, due to the fact he abandoned it, showing his well defined body, muscules and abs.
"PERFECT BODY!" Juvia mentally screamed as blood came out of her nose and then fainted, making Natsu and Happy confused.
"What´s with her?" Natsu said, completely unaware he was the one who made Juvia pass out. "Dunno, she looks like she seen a ghost." Happy said, with Juvia smiling goofly, after seeing a sexy ghost.
Later, after Juvia got her concioueness back, she invited them for a resturant, treated them for lunch and was now currently on their ways of depart, before...
"Natsu-san, thank you for encouraging me again. But there is one thing I need to ask of you. Where and why are you traveling?" Juvia asked, making Natsu and Happy remember why the traveled in the first place.
One month earlier, days after the Lisanna incident...
Natsu stood in front of the grave with Happy standing at his right side. After requesting the church and the Strauss siblings for premission of having a grave at the house which Natsu, Lisanna, Mira and Erza hatched Happy, the please the had their moments they could never forget.
"Happy... it´s sad that Lisanna died..." Natsu said. "Huh?" Happy said confused. "Her death was tragic. It was something me, you, Mira, Elfman, the guild something couldn't ignore. We have to move on instead off standing at same path. But no one knows the future. Who knows what things will happen? Who knows who will die...?" Natsu said. "Natsu..." Happy looked at his foster dad. "I don't anyone to die in that future. I want to train, train to become strong enough to see the people I love stand and live, in that future. " Natsu said and then looked at Happy with determined eyes.
"Happy. Do you want to train with me?" Natsu asked the blue cat. In his tone, there was absolute seriousness, with no fooling around. "Aye sir!" Happy said with a smile, giving Natsu a huge grin.
Present...
Natsu smiled as he remembered the promise to become stronger to protect his loved ones from death in the future. He then looked at Juvia who asked and then told her about where he came from, his friends, the time he raised Happy with Erza, Mira and Lisanna, the death of Lisanna and the vow to get stronger along with Happy to protect the future.
"Sorry for reminding you about the past." Juvia apologized. "Don't worry, we all need to talk about one day." Natsu said and then started to leave with Happy. Juvia watched them, smiling of Natsu´s encouraging words, making her realize that she wasn't alone and her Magic wasn't depressing and miserable as she thought, before...
"NATSU-SAN! HAPPY-SAN! THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING ME!" Juvia screamed to Natsu and Happy, which Natsu and waved goodbye without facing her, while Happy waved while he face the blue haired woman.
Juvia smiled. She wasn't alone. She found her friend, and soon to be more than a friend...
One month earlier, a day after Natsu´s decision...
"NATSU´S WHAT?!" Erza screamed as she heard the news.
The guild, who were beyond shocked of hearing about losing another member. "Natsu... no..." Mira said. She was now wearing a red dress and had her hair in a front ponytail. She quitted taking jobs, changed her appearance and her personality due to the death of her sister, wanting to move on, which was a hard fight for her, since she heard of the news.
"First Lisanna... now Natsu... why...?" Mira said as she tried to stop her tears, but to no avail.
Elfman, the one who delivered the news by reading the letter from Natsu, was down on his knees. Despite the promise of becoming a man, he couldn't handle the news of the man who made him move on disapear.
Erza looked at the paper Elfman had in his arm, taking it and read it aloud to the guild, wanting to make sure it wasn't some kind of prank.
Dear everyone at the guild. If you are reading this, then I want to tell me and Happy are sorry for leaving you. We are going to train to become stronger. I bet you are suffering from the death of Lisanna, and now I am gone too. But don't worry, we will return, I don't know when, but soon as possible. We are doing this cause we don't want any of you to die in the future. Me and Happy want you all in the guild to have a future, a future where you can have times are only happy.
From Natsu and Happy.
Erza crumbled the letter in her hands before dropping it a the floor, shaking with anger and sadness. Anger cause of Natsu left the guild without the thinking of what feelings they would have, and sadness cause of the man that gave her happiness during their childhood, alongside with her rival Mira, and her sister Lisanna, now left.
"Well, it seems like they were about to go somewhere." Laxus said from the upper lair of the guild, getting everyone's attention.
"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.
"YOU SAW HIM LEAVE AND DIDN'T DO ANYHTHING?!" Levy screamed.
"YOU COULDN'T HAVE STOPPED HIM!" Cana said.
"LAXUS YOU ASSHOLE!" Mira screamed, starting to gather up Take Over Magic, but where stopped by Erza.
"Erza..." Mira said as her Magic, died down. "Mira, it is hard as for me it is for you... but the one who need to teach him a lesson... IS ME!" Erza said and then screamed at the end of her speech, then started to Re-quip, but then stopped Makarov raised his hand to stop her, much to her frustration. "Damn it..." Erza said angrily to herself.
"Even if you couldn't attack me, I would have beaten you. But you shouldn't attack me, but Elfman." Laxus said.
"What?" Erza said shocked, making the rest of the guild, most notably Elfman and Mira.
"It was Elfman´s fault that Natsu left. In fact, it was his fault that Lisanna died. He made the guild sad and miserable. If anyone needs to beaten, it that pathetic ant." Laxus said and then fired a lightning beam at Elfman, sending him to the wall.
"ELFMAN!" Mira screamed.
"LAXUS! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Makarov yelled at his grandson.
Laxus then appeared in a flash of lightning from the upper level before standing in front of the fried and smoking Elfman.
"Giving this piece of shit a lesson. You should be grateful, since this weakling brought you nothing but sadness to you all. I am not insulting you, but telling the truth." Laxus said and then kicked a lightning infused kick on Elfman.
"LAXUS, STOP!" Mira tried to stop Laxus. "You´re right. I should stop. You might want to beat Elfman too." Laxus said. "What?" Mira said shocked. "He killed your sister. It´s Elfman´s fault for being so weak, being controlled, gone berserk and killed your little sister." Laxus said and then moved to show the fried and smoking Elfman, lying on his stomach.
"You can punch. Kick him. Even spit him. This man killed Lisanna. It was his fault your sister died. This guy killed her. Hell, he should even be killed." Laxus said.
That was the final straw. Mira was filled with rage. Her eyes went red, she gained a dark aura and her mind was on only one subject.
Kill Laxus. That was when the grandson of the Guild Master suggested to kill Elfman.
"LAXUS!" Mira screamed at the top of her lungs as she lungs as she flew at Laxus at blind rage, transforming into her Take Over: Satan Soul at him in a fit of blind rage.
Before Mira knew it, her fist was stopped once Erza grabbed it with her hand. Mira stopped when she realized that Erza held her hand, she started to slowly undue her Satan Soul form, looking at Erza, her rival with wide eyes.
"Erza...?" Mira said confused. "Mira... don't do anything stupid... I want to hit Laxus much as you do... but will it makes things easier? Will it make Lisanna, your dead sister come back?" Erza said, loosening the grip of Mira´s fist, with Mira calmed down due to Erza stopping her. "No one is to blame. Not you, not Elfman, not me, not Laxus, no the guild, no one. We learn from our mistakes." Erza said, as she started to cry. "But some mistakes... we wish never had been done..." Erza said as she started to broke down in tears.
"Erza..." Mira said, as she looked at her rival who was crying.
Most of the guild was watching, even Elfman, who woke up from the attack, but was still unable to move, with Laxus who "tched" and looked away.
Makarov looked at Laxus, before telling the guild to move Elfman to the infimary and wanted to have very serious talk and scolding to Laxus in his office.
As Elfman was carried to the infimary and Laxus went to Makarov´s office, Mira and Erza looked at each other, wanting to Natsu to be there, at least so that he could say goodbye to them and the guild.
Present...
As Natsu walked towards the place he and Happy decided to train, he came across a port town. Before they did, they decided to make a training plan, (I know this is OOC, sorry) and the first was to find a place to train.
After they passed the town, there was about one day from their training destination.
As they walked around the town, Happy was walking by his side and drooled at he looked at the fish they were selling, asking Natsu to buy some. Natsu didn't listen as he currently was in thought of the town.
"Strange, why is so calm, it feel like..." Natsu thought before he heard someone from his enchanted senses. "Crap!" Natsu said and started to run to the direction he heard it from. "NATSU! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Happy yelled as he activated his Aera and flew where Natsu went.
"Someone´s in trouble..." Natsu said as he ran to the direction, which were at the other side of the town. After taking a shortcut and coming thorugh the crowds, Natsu went towards a dark alley.
In the dark alley...
A group of six men holding a woman captured. The woman had red hair, red eyes and light purple dress.
"P-PLEASE! LET ME GO! I BEG OF YOU!" The woman tried to desperately be set free, but couldn't since one of the men, a man with white hair, green eyes, a blue shirt and blue jeans held her hostage with a knife at her throat. "Don't make any sudden moves, or else your head will be away from your body." The leader, a man with white short hair, brown eyes, a white shirt, a brown vest and blue pants said as he licked his lips, with his knife making its way towards the red haired woman´s chest.
"Boss, the bitch doesn't have any money." A small man with brown hair, green eyes, a black t-shirt and white pants said. "Well, haven't you parents learned you need money to buy things? But don't worry, you have something even better. A body worthy of fucking." The leader said as he licked his lips, much to the woman´s horror.
"N-no..." The woman said terrified as the knife got closer, ready to tear her dress apart. "Do it boss... fuck her body and head before separating them!" The guy who held her said. "NO!" The red haired woman screamed, but then...
"Don't even think about..." A voice said, getting the boss´s attention. "Huh?" Was all the boss said before having a fist of black smoke coming straight at his face.
"RAPING HER IN FRONT OF ME!" Natsu roared with anger as he sent the boss to a wall, knocking him out. "BOSS!" The man said, as they then got into fighting position, holding sword to strike him, with the exception of the guy who held the woman hostage.
"Don't move, or else this bitch..." The man who held his knife at the red haired woman's throat got a kick to his face, knocking him out immediately.
"DAMN YOU!" A pair of twins with the same black hair, blue eyes and red body suits said as they tried to attack him with their sword, only for them to be punched to the wall by Natsu.
A large man with a black afro, red eyes, a purple vest and green pants swung his massive saber, only to be kicked in the stomach, getting knocked out.
A thin man with a blonde hair, brown eyes, a green vest, blue pants and red sash around his vest, sneaked up from behind to stab him with a knife, only to be tangled by red hair that grabbed him!
"AHH!" The man yelled in pain, trying to break free, only to be burned to unconsciousness by the red haired woman. She then dropped the knocked out body of the blonde man down before reverting her hair back to normal.
"Thanks, but I could have handle him myself. Not that I am mad about it." Natsu said. "Please, I should be the one thanking you, you saved my life." The woman said, before...
"Sorry, I forgot to tell my name. The name is Flare Corona." Flare introduced. "Natsu Dragyama and this is Happy." Natsu said as he introduced himself and the blue cat. "Aye!" Happy said, much to Flare´s shock. "Wait a second, he can talk? The people from my village said cats couldn't." Flare said shocked. "Huh?" Natsu said.
Flare then explained that she was from a place called Sun Village, a place that was known to be protected by a giant fire known as the Eternal Flame. She had been raised her whole life, and the most surprising thing was, that she was raised by giants, the inhabitants of Sun Village.
During her life, she told Natsu and Happy that she got a blessing from the flame, giving her a Magic called Crimson Hair, that allowed her to control her hair as she wanted it, as she demonstrated.
The then told her during her life progressed, she noticed the more and more difference between her and the giants, then decided to leave on day and travel to meet others with the same size as her. She then came to the port town today and due to her lack of knowing what people of her same size are, she was easily tricked by the men, which led to her almost robbed and raped by the robbers, if Natsu didn't come.
"So, you don't know anything about the outside world?" Natsu asked, which made Flare nod yes.
"Then lets go!" Natsu said as he grabbed Flare´s hand, taking her with him. As they walked though the towns, Natsu showed around, showing her stands, buildings, vehicles such as carriages, trains and boats (making Natsu shiver as only saying the words), food, drinks and what people does.
Despite only being a guidance, Flare felt like she learned the world from Natsu.
"Pinkie-kun?" Flare said. Natsu turned to her, but was not mad. At the guild, his rival Gray used to call him a lot of names, with Pinky one of them, but this one, was different.
"Do you think... there are more places with people like this." Flare said as he played with her index fingers. "Flare. There are more people that are kind, kinder than what you can think of. But there are also bad people like the men you met today. I am telling this to be on your guard and not let yourself into trouble, trouble bigger than what you can think of." Natsu told Flare.
Flare looked down at the ground, while stroking her hair, before...
"Nee, Pinkie-kun? I wonder... if you don't mind... if we can be... friends...?" Flare said as she tried to hide her blush. Natsu then placed his hand on her shoulder, much to her confusion. "Why not? It would love to be your friend." Natsu said with a grin on his face, giving Flare a small smile.
"And by the way, since you can use Magic, you might as well join a guild." Natsu said. "A guild?" Flare said. She had heard of it from her village. "Yeah, I am from one. Fairy Tail." Natsu said. "Is it fun?" Flare asked. "It is the best thing you can think of. "Natsu said, making Flare´s eyes widen.
Later, Natsu and Happy parted ways with Flare, waving goodbyes to each other, hoping that they could meet each other in the future.
One month earlier, at Fairy Tail...
Mira looked at Elfman, who was fully bandages from the injuries of Laxus´ attack. She could only shake herself with rage as she remembered the words Laxus said earler.
"It was Elfman´s fault that Natsu left."
"You should be grateful, since this weakling brought you nothing but sadness to you all."
Mira could only grip her hands into fists in rage at the last part. Elfman wasn't to blame, nor her, Erza, Natsu or anyone at the guild. As her grip tighten with rage, a small amount of blood started to come out, with the pain ignored since Mira was filled with rage and sadness for Laxus beating Elfman and Natsu´s abonnement.
Even more rage that instead of exiling Laxus for his behavior, he was instead scolded, making her rage into tenfold.
She then suddenly stopped when she felt a pair of hands touch her hands, looking to see a familiar red head.
"Mira... you shouldn't let yourself be consume by rage... not now..." Erza said to her rival. Mira could only widen her eyes before giving a calm smile. "Lets go outside. I bet you need some fresh air, I think Elfman needs some rest, alone." Erza said, which Mira then noodled in agreement, before looking at her little brother.
As they went outside, the went to South Gate Park to rest on a park bench while looking at the sunset.
As they looked into the dawn, the sun going down with its flames slowly disappear, with could only remind them of a fire they lost today. But like the sunrise, the fire would return.
But they didn't know when, but soon.
"Erza..." Mira said. "Huh?" Erza said to the white haired woman. "Natsu will return. I know it. Or else I don't think they will be happy." Mira said as she looked at her rival. "Yeah. Natsu will return. We will hope that he come back so he can bring us and the guild happiness." Erza said.
Present...
In the vast wasteland, with a sky gray as metal, a land containing nothing but gray soil, a bunch of death, black thin branches and a old, abondened shed.
Natsu grinned from the hooded of his cloak as Happy was flying by his side.
"Happy, you got the timing schedule, right?" Natsu asked Happy. "Aye sir!" Happy said. "Alright then. Then let´s start training!" Natsu said as he threw his cloak off, before ignitign his fist in black smoke.
The training had now begun. He was gonna be stronger, stronger than before, to protect his guild, friends, family, loved ones from any enemy, even the most powerful ones. He didn't want to happen to him again, like it happened to Lisanna.
"Lisanna. I won´t let anyone die again. I will protect those dear to me, even if I have to the fight the strongest. Mira, Elfman, Erza, Gramps, Happy, everyone at the guild. And mostly you Lisanna. Look at me when I gained the strength to protect you all!" Natsu thought as he then ran down the hill to his new training zone.
"Lets go, Happy!" Natsu said while running. "AYE SIR!" Happy said as he flew by his side, towards where he would train and become stronger to protect those dear to him.
After the training, his journey would truly begin.
End of chapter 4.
And that's it for chapter 4. Wow, I bet you had so much from this, the appearances of Juvia and Flare, Laxus blaming Elfman for Lisanna´s death and even injuring him, Natsu´s decision to train to become stronger and in the next chapter, Natsu will be using swords, cause why not and the canon arcs will finally begin, but I will decide how they will go.
If you wondering about the changes, I did it because my Beta Reader Earth Dragon Arginite told me it was too early. And before you think of anything, yes, Mira and Erza were pregnant with Natsu´s children, but it was too early, so I changed it. Sorry about that.
As for the harem, it is currently this:
Mira
Erza
Ultear
Yukino
Juvia
Flare
Lucy
Brandish
And as you see, it had nothing to do with poll, but I have added Lucy and Brandish on my own will, I mean, c´mon, you thought they would be friend zoned after their previous encounters with Natsu? Besides, it´s much faster to get the harem done with adding on my own. I am also going to remove Lucy and Brandish from the current poll, since they are already in the harem, add Lisanna to the poll so that you decide if she´s goanna be in the harem or not, and expect that I will add more women on my own in the future until the harem is completed.
I am also saying to you again that instead of 13 women, it will be 16. I am still holding the poll and it will close on the 31st May. Also, instead of the seventh, it will be the next girl, due to the changes.
