Edolas Arc Part 1: The Strongest Fairies.
At the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia Town, things were going as usual, with its members drinking, spending time with their guild mates, or taking Quests. Currently, a certain blue-haired mage was announcing to a group of certain female Guild Members.
"Wow, for real?!" Yukino said. "Well, it was about time you got your move." Cana said grinning. "I am glad for you." Lucy said smiling. "Congratulations on becoming another part of the harem, Juvia!" Levy said. In the guild hall, Juvia was sitting at a table alongside Levy, Lucy, Yukino and Cana. Mira was at the table as well, who was carrying the drinks.
"Comment all you want. But yep, after our last mission, Natsu-sama and Juvia had a wonderful night, with our bodies..." Juvia said, but Lucy interrupted her. "We understand it..." Lucy said, sweat dropping, as she and the other girls blushed as Juvia was about go the "R-rated parts".
"Yes, as well I have now the mark on my back! Here is the proof!" Juvia said, got up and was about to undress, much to the attention of the male members of the guild.
But Lucy quickly grabbed her hands, preventing her from doing so. "WE BELIEVE YOU ON THAT TOO!" Lucy shouted, with a red completely red.
Juvia smirked, as she stopped herself from stripped. "Hm, I am glad I am convincing enough." Juvia said with pride, as she didn't need to strip down to them the girls, which most of them were red too due to Juvia´s sudden action.
"Dammit, and just we were about see some good action..." Macao whined, a perverted and red look on his face. "Agree, it would be fun is she..." Wakaba said, but then they suddenly felt a menacing aura and great fear struck at the two older Mages.
"About. What?" A scary tone of a pissed Erza were said, making Macao and Wakaba shake in fear. "IF SHE TRULY WERE TRUSTFUL TO HER BOYFRIEND AND FELLOW MATES, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Wakaba shouted, while he and Macao ran at great speed in fear, leaving a large wall of dust behind them. "HAVE MERCY ON US!" Macao shouted, and the guild members sweat dropped at the sight, while Erza sighed and sweat dropped.
Erza then walked towards the table were Juvia, Lecy, Yukino, Lucy and Cana sat at.
"Things sure became livelier around here. But where is Natsu?" Cana said, as she then asked of where the Pink Haired Man were.
"He's with Happy, training at their house." Erza said. "He sure trains a lot." Yukino said. "He bet he does. As times goes, the enemies Natsu, including the rest of us, faces becomes stronger. Which is why Natsu trains." Lucy said. "As we gain more members, the amount of people Natsu protect increases." Lucy said.
"Speaking of which..." Cana said, as a certain Dragon Slayer and cat came. "Wendy! Carla! What brings you here?" Levy asked. "Oh, I just wanted to check on where Natsu-san is." Wendy asked. "He´s training at his place with Happy. But I think he needs to be alone for a while." Cana said.
"I see." Wendy said. "I should have thought. He may be low on the head, but he is high on the muscles. It´s no surprise for me what he does." Carla said. "Carla! Natsu trains to protect us in the future!" Wendy said. "I know, but sooner or later, muscles won't be all for him to become stronger with. It´s the truth." Carla said, as the other girls agreed, thinking of what new future dangers would await them.
"But I know Natsu will, as I can sense it in him." Carla said with a smile, making Wendy and the others smile. "We all know he will, Carla." Erza said, smiling and arms crossed.
But at the same time, unknown to them, Gajeel, were staring at them, mostly at Wendy and Carla.
"Dammit, another one?!" Gajeel thought in an annoyance before then walking away.
At the doors, Mystogan, who were to arrive back at the guild, watched in shock filled eyes as he saw Wendy, the girl he meet years ago, was before him. "Wendy..." Mystogan thought, before then calmed down and made his leave.
"I am glad you are alright. But we cannot meet yet..." Mystogan thought, while walking away.
At the same time, at Natsu´s and Happy´s house...
"Come on, Natsu! You can do it!" Happy said, while flying in the air while Natsu, who were sweaty and shirtless, did pull ups.
"You are at nine hundred ninety-nine! One more!" Happy said, as Natsu then with a shout did one more pull. "One thousand! Good job!" Happy said, as then Natsu let go and then fell down the ground from the thick twig of the tree he was training with.
"Now we take a break." Happy said. "Already? I only made one thousand push ups, lifted fifty pounds one thousand times and ran twenty kilometers? I still feel like I can continue." Natsu said.
"Yeah, but even you need a break once in a while." Happy said.
Natsu then looked at his sword, the Kuroryuken. Earlier today, the first thing in the morning, Natsu went to meditate to know learn and train with Nayoru and Kuroshi.
As time went different within his Inner World, and the real world, Natsu felt himself become stronger, and learn more about the people within his mind.
Natsu looked up in the sky, thinking of the events that had happened until now.
Fighting with Envy of Diabolus, reuniting Lucy at Haregon, returning to Fairy Tail, fighting Eisenwald and Lullaby, Galuna Island were he fought Deliora and meet Ur, the Phantom Lord War, The Tower of Heaven, Battle of Fairy Tail, Black Claw where he reunited with Layla, Oracion Seis, and Bakunawa Fang.
Soon enough, more powerful enemies would appear, and Natsu was gonna do everything to make himself stronger.
"Happy, shall we continue to train?!" Natsu said. "Aye sir! On to the next session!" Happy announced, as a grinning Natsu went on to begin the next session.
But before they were able to continue, a sudden, recognizable voice was heard.
"Natsu."
Both Natsu and Happy turned around, to see Mystogan before him.
"What the..." Natsu said, as he remembered that during the Battle of Fairy Tail, when Mystogan fought Laxus, his face was revealed before him and Erza.
"What is he doing here?" Happy said confused, while Natsu then started to become calm. "What do you want, Mystogan? Or is it your real name?" Natsu asked. Mystogan sighed. "I have things to tell you. But I cannot reveal all of them today." Mystogan said. "Why?" Natsu said. "The time hasn't come yet. I want to ask you this: is it true you fought Envy, of the Dark Guild Diabolus?" Mystogan said.
"Diabolus?" Happy said, and Natsu had memories of his encounter with Envy years ago, flashed before him. "Yeah, I did. What about it?" Natsu said.
"I met them." Mystogan said, and there was a silence around them. Natsu was silent, and so were Happy, which Mystogan showed a calm expression as a result.
"I should have expected that reaction from you, Natsu. But yes, years ago, during one of my missions, I came across a village, which a group of them had attacked." Mystogan explained. "As I walked through, I witnessed the destruction and death everywhere, blood, heads, body parts, were splattered everywhere, even on the destroyed buildings." Mystogan said, and Natsu and Happy were horrified as a response.
"I saw the bodies lynched in unspeakable ways, I eventually came across the group. Before I even spoke, they all attacked me. I couldn't stand to have the village be left without being avenged for the savages to come, I went to fight them. Even though they were only six of them, they overpowered me." Mystogan said, gripping his fist.
"They were inhuman, something I never encountered before." Mystogan said. "Inhuman?" Happy said. "Yes, in both soul, mind and appearance." Mystogan explained.
"Strange. The one I fought seemed kinda normal to me, despite his ways." Natsu said, remembering his fight with Envy.
"Whatever it is, I was barely on the thread of life once I were defeated, but managed to escape from them by using a
Spell they were unfamiliar with." Mystogan said.
"And since I am not from this world, it was no surprise." Mystogan thought, before he then continued.
"Before I escaped, I heard that they were from a Dark Guild, known as Diabolus, and their Guild Master, Beelzebub. If the mages were enough to be wicked and very powerful, no one could even imagine what nature of Beelzebub was of." Mystogan said, before then turning his eyes on Natsu.
"Natsu, whatever you do, you must not fight Diabolus again. Whatever happened in the past, were of pure luck. You must never be involved with them." Mystogan said, before turning around.
"But if you or the Guild are forced to fight them, then you must no matter what, never underestimate them. Diabolus is part of the Balam Alliance, the mightiest of Dark Guilds. Even if you took down one of them, Oracion Seis, you must never even think for a second, look down on them. You should know that the most, Natsu." Mystogan said, while walking away.
Natsu looked down the ground, then at his hand. "Natsu?" Happy said.
"Jellal is right, it was by pure luck. But thanks, Jellal. Now I am more determined to train." Natsu said, before then turning back his training ground. "Happy, show me the next step of training!" Natsu said. "Aye sir! Begin with two thousand pull ups!" Happy declared, as Natsu excitedly continued his training.
Another week has passed in the training, but eventually, Natsu to visit his friends and girlfriends time to time, even making love to them between.
But soon enough, one day, inside the guild hall, Natsu was at the gates, waiting and shaking with excitement.
Lucy is currently talking with Yukino at the bar, while Mira was tending the bar.
"Hm, what´s up with Natsu?" Lucy said. "He´s been at the gates since this morning." Yukino said. "Now that you mention it, today is the day when they return." Mira announced with a sweet smile.
"´Them?´" Lucy asked with confusion. "Yes, the two strongest members of our Guild are said to come back today." Mira said.
"That´s right, I was told to tell you today. Yesterday, Master had called me, Erza and Natsu, to tell you that the Aces of our guild, where coming back today." Mira said.
"The strongest wizards of Fairy Tail." Erza said, as she entered the scene.
"Erza?" Lucy said. "They are known as Gildarts Clive, and Tyrrak Chormell. They are returning from the Hundred Year Quest they took." Erza explained.
"Hundred Year Quest?" Lucy said. "Remember when I explained the difficulty and ranking of quests?" Mira said.
"I think you told us. There normal ones, S-Class Missions, SS-Class Mission, Ten Year Jobs and Hundred Year Jobs." Yukino said.
"Yes, and they have returned from performing a Hundred Year Job." Mira explained, making Lucy and Yukino widen in surprise.
"A 100 Year Job?!" Lucy shouted, she had heard that there were jobs that took years to perform, but not being able to return from them. "Yes, Gildarts and Tyrrak left to take on one three years ago. Jobs of that caliber take only on the highest caliber of wizards." Erza said.
"They succeeded in doing it?" Lucy said. "I hate to doubt it, but even Gildarts and Tyrrak, wouldn't be able to complete on. In the past, they managed to easily take down, even if it was only one of them. They are both stronger than me as well." Erza said.
Lucy and Yukino were silent, as they have both witnessed Natsu and Erza in battle, but never thought there was stronger Fairy Tail wizards, other than Makarov, to be in the guild.
"When are they returning?" Yukino asked, but then suddenly, a siren was heard. "I think you have your answer there, Yukino." Erza said, as then the area then began to shake as well.
"What´s going on?!" Lucy said, as she, Yukino, Erza, Mira and the rest of the Guild Masters, walked towards the window, the see the citizens evacuate into their homes.
"The Gildarts Shift. Because Gildarts´s power, and that he is the more easygoing of the duo, they City makes a Shift in order for him not to harm the town." Erza said.
"Is his power that great?" Yukino said. "You can bet on it, but it´s mostly because Gildarts is easygoing." Gray said, who were only in his white boxers.
"I see." Lucy said, as both she and Yukino sweat dropped, but then, The shift stopped moving, as it now showed a deep canyon, completed with stairs, from the edge of Magnolia Town, to the Fairy Tail guild.
Before even a minute went by, two figures, were walking down the transformed floor.
One was a man with a slicked back, orange hair, light blue eyes and stubbly beard. He seemed to wear a pair of light blue boots, dark blue pants and black, high-collared cape. He was Gildarts Clive, a S-Class Mage and Two Aces of Strongest of Fairy Tail.
The other, was a man with short, smooth, blonde hair and dark green eyes. He wore a pair of orange, baggy pants, black boots with silver strings, a red belt with a white buckle, in the style of a Fairy Tail emblem, a black, zipped T-shirt with red lining, a long, orange, cargo coat, as well a pair of black gloves, each with a red "X" on. He was Tyrrak Chormell, a S-Class Mage and one of the Two Aces of Fairy Tail.
As the two Fairy Tail wizards were walking upwards the stairs, the gates of the guild were opened, as the Fairy Tail wizards gathered before it.
Eventually, Gildarts and Tyrrak were finsihed walking up the stairs, and walked in the Guild.
"Ah, it´s been a while, hasn't it?" Gildarts said, as he looked around the guild hall.
"I know, right. Feels like forever since we been here." Tyrrak said.
"Gildarts! Welcome back!" Erza said, as she walked towards them while the other Guild members where surrounding Gildarts and Tyrrak, as they asked the duo various questions.
But as they did, Gildarts were one to speak the next words.
"Well then, but where is Natsu by the way?" Gildarts asked, as then the said Dragon Slayer came up from the air, as he jumped towards him and Tyrrak.
"I am here, Gildarts, Tyrrak! Today is the day I will finally..." Natsu said but was then sent away to the wall with a crash, after Gildarts punched him the face.
The action made everyone, including Tyrrak, to sweat drop. "Well, Natsu is here." Gildarts said, before he then noticed something. "Strange, this is our guild? It looks different than before." Gildarts said, scratching his head.
"This is the Fairy Tail guild. We had to do some changes around here." Mirajane said, entering the scene. "It is? Well, thank you, Miss..." Gildarts. "It's me, Mirajane. Please to meet you again, Gildarts and Tyrrak." Mira said, which her words made both Gildarts´ and Tyrrak´s eyes widen with surprise.
"You´re Mira?" Gildarts said in surprise, remembering the Demon Mira from the past, as he didn't expect her to be different when he and Tyrrak had returned.
"Wow, I didn't think you would change." Tyrrak said, scratching his head. "But it seems Lisanna hasn't changed." Gildarts said, referring to Yukino. "Huh?" Yukino said, but before anything could be said, Natsu came once again at Gildarts and Tyrrak. "I am not done...!" Natsu said, before was thrown to the roof by Tyrrak, making everyone sweat drop once again.
"It´s good to see you two return safely, Gildarts, Tyrrak." Makarov said, as he entered the scene while carrying his staff.
"Master!" Gildarts said, as he and Tyrrak walked towards him. "Master Makarov, it´s nice to see you." Tyrrak said. "It is for us all. And you are back from the 100 Year Mission you took." Makarov said, before his tone turned serious. "Did you manage to complete it." Makarov said.
Tyrrak and Gildarts were quiet, eyes shadowed, and the silence broke once Gildarts went to spoke. "It was harder than we thought, which led us to quit. It seemed it was something even me and Tyrrak weren't able to handle." Gildarts said, as everyone, including Natsu who was pulled free from the roof by Happy, were silent of what Gildarts has said.
As words were uttered, both out loud and within their thoughts, having a hard time think take in what happened.
"Even Gildarts and Tyrrak weren't able handle the 100 Year Mission?" Gray thought while sweating. "They are both incredibly men, what monster did they encounter?" Elfman thought. "Whatever it was, it must have been something of Incredible strength and power." Erza thought, as even she was sweating in surprise of what Gildarts had told.
"Well yeah, even though we hate quitting, we had no choice." Tyrrak said, before he and Gildarts turned to Natsu.
"Natsu! Can you come to me and Tyrrak later? We got something we want to talk to you about." Gildarts said.
Natsu were surprised, before then smiling, believing he was gonna fight them, but then he noticed the serious expressions on Gildarts´ and Tyrrak´s faces. Natsu´s smile quickly disappeared, as his face turned serious as well.
But both Gildarts and Tyrrak turned once again to the other Guild Members, with a smile on each of their faces.
"Since we are now, here, shall we make a celebration of their return!" Makarov announced, which they others agreed and let out a loud that echoed across the guild hall itself.
An hour had gone by. Drinks, laughter and talking have been across the guild by the Fairy Tail Mages, as Gildarts and Tyrrak were satting at the bar, watching the guild Mages enjoying themselves.
"Despite some changes, Fairy Tail hasn't changed since we left?" Tyrrak said. "Yeah, I agree. But still, I am bit confused with what´s going on with Mira and Lisanna." Gildarts said, looking at Mira and Yukino, who were with spending time with Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Levy and Erza.
Makarov sighed, as since Tyrrak and Gildarts were gone when it happened. "It seems it´s time for me to tell you. Gildarts, Tyrrak. I will tell you what has happened since you were gone." Makarov said, which then the duo went on to listen what the Guild Master had to speak.
Makarov then went to talk about Lisanna´s death, Natsu leaving with Happy to train, his return, and as well with Yukino.
"I see. That explains with Mira´s new appearance." Gildarts said. "As well with the girl who resembles Lisanna." Tyrrak said, referring to Yukino.
"But to think that Natsu have gotten so many women since then. Damn I envy him." Gildarts said in anime tears, remembering when Makarov told him about that earlier, making Tyrrak sweat drop.
"I know. But you can never understand from a boy like Natsu." Makarov said. "I see. But shall we then move back to our house then, Gildarts?" Tyrrak asked. "I agree with you. I missed our dear home for some time." Gildarts said as he then proceed towards to the door, but only hit the wall, much to the comical shock of everyone.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Lucy shouted, while Levy sweat dropped. "That´s the reason why Gildarts Shift was constructed. His Magic, Crush, allows him to disintegrate anything and anyone within his way." Levy explained.
"Which due to his carefree and reckless nature, combined with his Magic, Magnolia made the Shift to prevent it from happening." Erza explained.
"They must possess some very powerful Magics indeed." Layla said, entering the scene after finishing an order. "What kind of Magic does Tyrrak use then?" Ur asked, and then Levy went to explain.
At the same time, Tyrrak and Gildarts were walking outside of Magnolia Town, which just then returned to it´s original form, when suddenly, a group of over twenty men came and surrounded them.
"Well, this is sure a nuisance. If you are here for the welcome back party, we already been in one." Gildarts said.
"Don't play jokes on us, Clive! We are here for revenge for what you and your partner did to my brother!" The leader said, who had black hair in afro hairstyle, a pair of brown eyes and a frilly goatee. He wore a red t-shirt, red pants, black boots and a long, black coat.
"Your brother?" Tyrrak asked. "My brother, Serpento, was the Guild Master of the Dark Guild Hydra Fang, but when you two came, messed things up and sent him straight to prison! I, his younger brother Sneck, the Guild Master of Snake Fang, will take you on for revenge!" Sneck said.
"If your brother were no match for us, what makes you think you can defeat us?" Gildarts said, scratching his head. "Silence! Men, attack!" Sneck ordered, as the men went to attack.
Gildarts was about to fight, but Tyrrak put his hand before him. "Let me have them, Gildarts. It´s been a while since I fought." Tyrrak said. "No fun." Gildarts pouted, but Tyrrak simply stared at them, and then his eye irises glowed red.
"What the hell are you babbling about?!" A black-haired man with blue eyes, and wore a pair of blue pants, a yellow vest and red armbands came to strike Tyrrak with an axe.
But Tyrrak dodged his attack, and then his eyes irises glowed red, and had his body covered with a red, lightning-like energy. He then pointed with his index finger and thrusted it at the man´s chest!
"Chirasu!" Tyrrak said, and then red, lightning-like energy were then emitted within the Snake Fang wizard´s body. All of body´s weak points were damaged, before then the Dark Mage lose consciousness, and then fell on the ground, much to the shock of the Snake Fang members.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" A Dark Mage screamed "HE TOOK DOWN MORT!" Another Dark Mage yelled. "WHAT DID HE DO?!" Shouted another one.
But Tyrrak still had his hands glowing, and then went to attack the others.
Meanwhile, back at the Guild...
"Shatter Point?" Lucy said. "Yes, that´s Tyrrak´s Magic, which allows him to break the fault lines of one's opponent body, as well structures. Tyrrak can see the fault lines by infusing Magic in his eyes, being able to see the fault lines, and attack them, by infusing the Magic within his hands, feet or other body parts. He can even see which one is the greatest. He can either attack one or all at the same time, but is also able to strike all the fault lines at the same time." Levy said as she explained. "It does sound similar to Crush." Yukino said. "Yeah, but it has differences. Unlike Crush, Shatter Point doesn't simply destroy objects it comes in to contact with, as Tyrrak can also heal with it." Levy said, leaving Lucy and Yukino shocked.
"Tyrrak have used it more than just one, which has showed to be in equal, perhaps even stronger in terms of power and skills with Gildarts." Erza said. "Which is also makes him a perfect candidate, for the next Fairy Tail's Guild Master." Erza said.
And back with Tyrrak, who were fighting the Snake Fang Members, he grabbed the sword of a Dark Mage, which then glowing with Shatter Point Magic, shattering it to pieces, and then punched the Dark Mage in the face.
Two Dark Mages ran towards him with spears, big enough to kill a bear each, but Tyrrak grabbed their spears, shattering them to pieces.
Tyrrak then punched the duo in the stomachs, one punch each, knocking them unconscious.
The rest of the Snake Fang members, then surrounded Tyrrak, as the planned an all-out attack on him.
But Tyrrak was calm, as they all came rushing at him. Which then Tyrrak raised his hand in the air, had it covered with red Shatter Point Energy, and then slammed his hand on the ground!
"Funka!" Tyrrak said, as the ground became covered with Magic Power, and then, the ground was shattered around him, as everyone except Tyrrak fell on the ground!
He then looked towards Sneck, who were sweating nervously, but Tyrrak didn't hesitate to speak. "If you wanna run, run. I know you were a coward the moment you came here with your men." Tyrrak said.
Sneck grit his teeth in rage, before then rushing towards him with a spiked club. "Damn you, asshole!" Sneck said running towards Tyrrak, but he simply pointed his hand at Sneck, and then:
"Bakufu!" Tyrrak said, and then a beam of Shatter Point Magic were sent towards Sneck, which struck him.
Sneck felt his bones crushing within his body, causing great pain and after a long scream of pain, he fell down on the ground unconscious.
Gildarts sighed, while Tyrrak looked at the unconscious Sneck and his defeated men. "Man, I hate to brag, but it was like a bunch of sheep trying to attack two lions." Gildarts said.
"Well, they brought this upon themselves. But we better take them to the Police Station, before they cause any more trouble, quickly. We don't want to keep Natsu waiting." Tyrrak said.
"Agree." Gildarts said, before the two Aces went to clean up the mess.
Later, Natsu and Happy left to meet with Gildarts and Tyrrak.
"To think Natsu-sama and Happy-sama know such powerful Mages." Yukino said, remembering what Erza and Levy told them earlier. "Of course. Since childhood, Natsu have seen both Tyrrak and Gildarts as parental figures to him. He has since then trying to surpass them, by challenging them to fights." Erza said. "Wow, really? What is their story?" Lucy said, as she and Yukino wanted to learn more about Natsu.
"Since you asked, I will explain to you." Erza said, as she then began to tell Lucy and Yukino the story.
Years ago...
Near a pond, a young Natsu were fishing alongside a younger, smaller Happy, who were resting on his head.
"Natsu, hurry up! I'm hungry!" Happy whined on his head. "Be patient Happy! Sooner or later..." Natsu said, but then suddenly felt something dragging down the line of the fishing rod.
"Alright! I think got one! I can already sense I got a big one!" Natsu said, before then pulling up the rod, expecting the large fish come before him...
...but instead, he deadpanned as he saw the tiny fish, at a size small equal to a nail, before him.
"Natsu, I don't even think that will work as an appetizer." Happy said. "Screw you! Let´s see you do any better!" Natsu yelled angrily.
"Any luck with you two?" A sudden voice said, making Natsu and Happy turn around to see a familiar girl. "Lisanna!" The both said, as the white haired girl, with blue eyes and wearing her pink dress, was before them.
"It´s getting late. I think we should head back home." Lisanna said. "I agree. Let's head home before Natsu catches any smaller fishes." Happy said. "Shut up!" Natsu yelled, which made Lisanna giggle a bit at their attics.
Sometime later, Natsu, Happy and Lisanna were on their back to the Guild, and Lisanna then went on to break the silence.
"Natsu, can I ask you something?" Lisanna said. "Yeah, what is it?" Natsu asked. "Do you think of me and Happy as a family?" Lisanna asked, making Natsu blush a bit and turn away.
Happy grinned, because he noticed it. "Yeah, or are you heartless?" Happy said. "No, it´s just that..." Natsu said, as he became a blushing, steaming mess.
"You´re blushing!" Both Happy and Lisanna said in unison. "Hey! You two are mean!" Natsu shouted. "But to be fair, I know we would be a great family together, right Natsu?" Lisanna said, which made Natsu silent a bit for a moment.
"Me, with a family with Lisanna? For real?" Natsu thought, but then Lisanna went to speak again. "Oh, that´s right! I remember some farmers said that they saw some large footprints earlier." Lisanna said. "Footprints?" Natsu said, and then the bushes seeming to be moving a bit.
Before even one more word was even said, a group of large figues jumped out, coming straight at Natsu!
Natsu saw one of them coming, punching them in the gut, and then sent them to a tree.
Natsu noticed that the one he punched was a Forest Vulcan, also known as a Gorian, a large, ape-like creature with green fur, purple skin, hearts marks on its arms, a long chin, a tail and hand-like feet.
But before Natsu could even speak:
"NATSU!" Lisanna screamed, making him turn around to see Lisanna in a grip of a Gorian, while Happy was held under the foot of another Gorian.
"You better not even make a sound, or you will regret it!" The one holding Lisanna, a large Gorian said. The other Gorian merely snickered.
"Assholes!" Natsu said, and then went to attack, but the leader Gorian, who held Lisanna, squeed his grip harder.
"If you make one more move, she will a pile of flesh and bones. Even I don't want that to happen." The Leader Gorian said.
"I recognize you. You are the Gorians beat up earlier!" Natsu said. "You got it right, and now we shall have our revenge! But we can do this the easy way, or the hard way! You will either kneel and apologize like a dog to it´s owner, or see your friends be turned to mashed potatoes!" The Leader Gorian said.
Natsu grit his teeth, while gripping his fist. "Well, we´re waiting." The Leader Gorian said. Natsu sighed, before he then knelt down, much to the amusement of the Gorians, while it was horror of Lisanna and Happy.
"I am sorry." Natsu said, but before then, a sudden kick were sent at him, sending Natsu away on the ground. "NATSU!" Lisanna and Happy screamed, before the three Gorians, including the one Natsu had punched earlier, stood around him.
"You promised you wouldn't hurt him!" Happy said, who were now in the grip of one of the Gorians.
"We didn't say anything about it! And don't worry, we wont hurt the girl at least, as we are gonna have the Cat for Dinner, and the Girl as my bride!" The Leader Gorian said. "WHAT?!" Lisanna shouted in shock, as she didn't want to have a family with the Gorians.
"I don't wanna be their dinner!" Happy shouted, and then the Gorian began to beat Natsu, who grit his teeth in pain and frustration. "Dammit, if they didn't were holding Lisanna and Happy hostage, I could easily beat them up!" Natsu thought, and then, the Leader Gorian raised his foot, prepared to finish him.
"And, now die!" Natsu said, as Lisanna´s eyes and Happy´s eyes were filled with horror, but then, a hand came before the foot, blocking it.
"Huh?" The Leader Gorian said in confusion, as so were the other two Gorians. Lisanna, Happy and even Natsu were surprised, as they saw the one who stopped it.
"Attacking the kids and a small cat. You two have truly done some low things now." The voice said, as Gildarts Clive stood before the trio.
"Who the heck are you?" One of the Gorians asked, but then suddenly, the Gorian was kicked from behind into his head, sending his head straight to the ground. "I am indeed rude, as even animals know better manners." Tyrrak said, who landed on the ground after kicking the Gorian.
"Gildarts! Tyrrak!" Natsu, Lisanna and Happy shouted, as the two S-Class Mages of Fairy Tail had arrived at the scene.
"What the hell?!" The Two remaining Gorians said, before The Gorian who held Happy were punched in the gut by Gildarts. It made him drop Happy, who then Gildarts caught. The Gorian then dropped down its knees, clutching its stomach in pain.
The Leader Gorian began to panic, but then grinned as he remembered he still had Lisanna as a hostage. "You think you have won, huh? But think again! I still have her as a hostage! Do one move and I will...!" The Leader Gorian said, but before he was able to finish his sentence, he was punched in the stomach by both Tyrrak and Gildarts, who came at him at incredible speed, making him kneel in pain.
"What was that?" Gildarts asked, as he and Tyrrak clenched their fists. "You bastards..." The Leader Gorian whined in pain.
"You better leave now, and never come here again, or else the situation will become worse for you." Tyrrak said. In fear, the two Gorian picked up their leader and then run while carrying him.
"MARK MY WORDS! THIS IS NOT THE LAST TIME!" The Leader Gorian shouted, as the Gorians left the area.
Tyrrak sighed while Gildarts went to Lisanna and Happy. "Are you two okay?" Gildarts asked. "Yeah, thanks for saving us." Lisanna said. "We really thought we were toast!" Happy said, crying anime tears.
Tyrrak went towards Natsu, he knelt down as Natsu were looking down the ground. "You alright, Natsu?" Tyrrak said. "Do you think I do? I just showed myself weak, even if I knew I could defeat them." Natsu said, gripping his fists through the soil, and tears threating to come from his eyes.
But Tyrrak put his hand on his shoulder, as Natsu turned to Tyrrak, who were smiling. "Natsu. At every moment in life, there are times when you can, or cannot fight. You didn't fight because you were afraid that Lisanna and Happy would get hurt. It was the right thing, because Gildarts and I wouldn't be able to save them in time, but as you didn't attack, you bought us the time we needed. You should be proud, Natsu." Tyrrak said, making Natsu smile.
"But since it´s becoming late, you should head to our place. Feel free to make yourself home." Gildarts said, he, Lisanna and Happy went to the scene.
"Agree with you there, Gildarts." Natsu said, which then Lisanna and Happy smiled.
They then immediately walked towards Gildart´s and Tyrrak´s house, as then Lisanna went to speak.
"Natsu. You were really brave back." Lisanna said, which made Natsu turn to her. "You think?" Natsu said. "Yes. Even when cornered, you still made sure made me and Happy didn't get hurt. I am glad for it. You truly showed to be a good husband and father. I am proud of you, Natsu." The White Haired girl said with a sweet smile.
Natsu blushed and turned away, his hands behind his head. Happy noticed it, and saw it as an opportunity to tease him. "You liiiike her!" Happy teased while flying, making Natsu snap.
"HEY I don't like her!" Natsu yelled, but then quickly regretted as he then turned to see Lisanna, with her hands on her face, who seemed to be crying, but in a fake tone, knowing Natsu didn't mean it.
Natsu, comically began to panic, as he imaged what trouble he would be in, which he mentally pictured before him.
"Natsu, it´s not nice to make someone cry!" Elfman said.
"Natsu! What is your answer for this?" Erza said.
"Natsu, you better be prepared to get your ass kicked!" Mira said, cracking her knuckles.
"Lisanna! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way!" Natsu said while apologizing in a panicked tone, but Lisanna giggled behind her hands, teasing him. Gildarts laughed at the scene, while Tyrrak simply smiled.
A night had gone by, and in the morning, Natsu and Tyrrak were arm wrestling, with Gildarts as the judge while Lisanna and Happy were watching them.
"Quite tough I see." Tyrrak said, he then had his hand holding Natsu´s, who were using all his strength to move. "You are holding back! I can feel it! You better do more than that!" Natsu taunted, but then.
"You have a point there. But it would be unfair." Tyrrak said, and then managed to take down Natsu´s arm!
"Tyrrak wins!" Gildarts declared. "HEY! No fair!" Natsu comically yelled. "It still wouldn't be fair if I used my full strength. But you are very strong, Natsu." Tyrrak said, and then switched places with Gildarts.
"But shall you show me what you got to me, Natsu?" Gildarts said with a grin. Natsu grinned too and then they prepared to arm wristle.
"They sure are close, arent they?" Happy said. "Yes they do. Gildarts and Tyrrak are truly role figures to Natsu." Lisanna said with a smile. "I can see them truly as a family." Lisanna thought, before then a large thud where heard.
"DAMMIT!" Natsu shouted. "I won! You owe me and Tyrrak dinner, Natsu!" Gildarts boasted, as they agreed the loser would make the dinner for tonight.
"Hey, I wasn't prepared!" Natsu yelled, as a comical brawl was then erupted between the two, making Lisanna, Happy and Tyrrak laugh at it.
Truly, times were bright back then.
Back to the present...
"Wow, to think they had relationship." Yukino said. "Yes, they were all close, as Gildarts and Tyrrak were role models for them." Mira said.
"But three years ago, they left for the 100 Years Mission, which Natsu have been waiting since then for them to return." Erza said. "Which explains why they didn't know about Lisanna." Lucy thought, remembering Levy telling Lucy of Lisanna at one point.
"What do you think Gildarts-sama and Tyrrak-sama want to do with Natsu-sama?" Yukino said. "Whatever it is, it must be serious." Erza said, remembering the serious expression Gildarts and Tyrrak had when they asked Natsu to come.
With Natsu and Happy...
"Natsu, what do you think Gildarts and Tyrrak wants?" Happy asked, as he was flying beside him. "Whatever they want, it must be important. Very important, because I never seen them that serious before." Natsu said.
Eventually, they came at Gildarts´ and Tyrrak´s house, which were Gildarts and Tyrrak standing outside.
"Glad you two came. We´ve been waiting for you." Tyrrak said. "But first, come in. We shall show you something." Gildarts said, as then he and Tyrrak went inside.
Without questioning it, Natsu and Happy went inside of their house, once Gildarts and Tyrrak had gone inside.
Once they were inside the house, Natsu went to speak.
"Alright. What is you wanted me to speak about." Natsu asked.
"Before we begin, Master told me that you have been getting a lot of girlfriends since we last were here. Is that true?" Gildarts asked with a teasing tone. "Yeah, its very true. Currently, I have six women." Natsu said, bluntly. "SIX WOMEN?! And they call me a pervert, lucky you!" Gildarts shouted in shock, as he may been told by Makarov that Natsu had now girlfriends, but never said how many or which were in.
Natsu simply remained calm and went to his attention to Tyrrak. "But you did want me to come for a reason, right?" Natsu said, and Gildarts immediately went serious. "Yes, we wanted you to come here for a reason." Tyrrak said. "The reason is?" Natsu asked.
"This." Gildarts said, as then he opened his cape, and showed something that horrified Natsu and Happy to their bones.
"We expected that reaction. During the 100 Year Mission, I lost my left arm, left leg, and even an organ." Gildarts explained, before closing his cape. "And that´s now all." Tyrrak said, taking off his boots, and folding up his pants sleeves, showing his mechanical legs. "I lost my legs, when we encountered it." Tyrrak said. "It?" Natsu said, as he was paled white.
"Yes. During the 100 Year Mission, Tyrrak and I encountered a dragon." Gildarts said, shocking Natsu and Happy. "A DRAGON?!" Happy screamed in shock. "Yes, but this dragon, black as moonless night, something from a nightmare, it's presence is more of a demon than a dragon." Tyrrak said, folding down his pants sleeves.
As thoughts of the descriptions ran through Natsu´s mind, Gildarts noticed it immediately. "Yes. We are talking about none other than the Black Dragon, Acnologia." Gildarts.
"Acnologia, you said?" Natsu said, stunned, and Happy were shocked and horrified. "Natsu, if you are still on your path of revenge, forget about it. Me and Gildarts are way stronger than you, but the moment we saw him, it was over before we even knew what hit us. His power is far beyond than what we can possibly imagine." Tyrrak said to Natsu.
Natsu were silent, eyes shadowed. Years ago, his adoptive parent and mentor, Yoruyama, was killed by Acnologia.
Natsu then turned up, as he then showed his eyes and went to speak his answer.
"For years, I have abandoned my quest for revenge. Now, I am currently having a good time at the guild, with my teammates and family. I have no longer a reason for revenge." Natsu said, his eyes warm and a small, kind smile.
Tyrrak and Gildarts smiled too, as they had hoped, and knew Natsu would change.
"I see. I am glad for that." Gildarts said. "We´re happy you have let it go." Tyrrak said. "Don't sweat it, you saw me change after the day you convinced me, Tyrrak." Natsu said, remembering that fateful day years ago.
Many Years ago...
At the forest, near a lake, smoke emitted everywhere. The grounds were cracked, many rocks shattered, and the trees had holes on them.
A panting, shirtless young Natsu, stood on the ground, as he then was about to do his next attack, but then a voice cut him off. Natsu turned around to see Tyrrak.
"You must be Natsu. People at the guild have spoken a lot about you." Tyrrak said. "I am Tyrrak Chormell. You must have heard of me and Gildarts." Tyrrak said. "Yeah, I have heard about you two." Natsu said. "Recently, your guild mates have told you spent recently here, to train." Tyrrak said, looking around the area.
"Well yeah, but if you think it´s taking you and Gildarts down, you are wrong. I am doing something much more important." Natsu said.
It surprised Tyrrak, as ever since Natsu had met him and Gildarts, Natsu have been determined to suprass Tyrrak and Gildarts, by defeating them in battle.
"But if it isn't that what you are training, what else could it be?" Tyrrak asked.
Natsu stood still for a moment, before he turned around, but with his eyes showing emptiness, and then went to speak with a low tone.
"Revenge. I am training for revenge to kill Acnologia." Natsu said.
The mere sentence Natsu spoke just now, were enough to have Tyrrak immediately filled with shock, as he didn't believe what he had heard.
"Natsu, if that is true, then I suggest you to quit it." Tyrrak said. Natsu immediately turned around to face Tyrrak, anger and annoyance plastered on his face.
"OI! Do you even know what the hell you are talking about?! Yoruyama was killed right before my very eyes, do you think I can easily let go of my revenge?!" Natsu said, in a rageful tone.
"Revenge never spawns anything good! If you counting, you make things worse, not just for yourself, but for others as well!" Tyrrak said, rage started overtaking him too.
"Are taking Acnologia´s side now?! If I don't avenge Yoruyama, then do you think more people will suffer?! Don't you have any feelings?!" Natsu yelled, but then, Tyrrak grabbed him by the throat and pinned to a tree.
"Tyrrak...!" Natsu said, groaning. "Natsu, I do think of the people that are suffering from Acnologia...! BUT IF YOU TAKE ON THIS REVENGE, YOU WILL ONLY CAUSE MORE PAIN, DEATH, FEAR, HORROR, SORROW AND DESAPIR WILL BE EMERGED! YOU WILL BE THE ONE TO CAUSE MORE PEOPLE HARMED, AND YET, YOU TELL ME I AM THE ONE WHO CAUSES DEATH?!" Tyrrak said, his voice filled with anger.
But he quickly calmed down, as he slowly let go of Natsu, who were panting as he regained his breath.
"Natsu, I am sorry I grabbed you like that. I didn't mean it like that." Tyrrak said. "It´s okay, I didn't expect you to be that way." Natsu said, rubbing his sore throat.
"But you must let go of this revenge. It will only spawn more pain and suffering, more than you can imagine." Tyrrak said.
"For myself, I know someone who was obsessed with revenge, even the one who he searched after vengeance, were horrifying. It was truly something I cannot forget, even if I tried." Tyrrak said, memories floating before his mind.
"And Natsu, what do you think Yoruyama, would say about it. Spending the rest of your life for vengeance, than to smile, be happy and move on?" Tyrrak said.
Natsu were still, and silent, as if Tyrrak words struck him like an arrow, he remembered.
Natsu remembered the words Yoruyama told him, right before his death.
"Natsu, I thank you for making my last moments to be my happiest. But you got to make sure to live on, move on to make great friends, and eventually, even a happy family. No matter what, be happy. No matter what, smile, and no matter what, move on. To the bright future, my son."
Yoruyama´s words echoed within his mind, as if a bell were to remind Natsu.
He looked on the ground, slowly gripping the soil of the ground. He frowned in shame, as he felt himself a fool, thinking he was about to broke Yoruyama´s promise.
"To think I was about to fail Yoruyama." Natsu said, eyes shadowed, before then hugging Tyrrak. "Tyrrak, thank you. I am glad you reminded me had, and what I was about to lose." Natsu said.
Tyrrak smiled, hugging Natsu as well. "I am glad you are off with your vengeance. It would bring you more pain than Acnologia would ever do." Tyrrak said with a smile.
Present...
"I am forever grateful for what you did for me back then. I couldn't have the life I had now with my friends and family I have now." Natsu said.
"I am glad that you have lived a good, honest life, Natsu." Tyrrak said with a smile, and then Gildarts then went to speak.
"But as you know, no matter what, you must never even fight Acnologia. It´s a Dragon, whose power is something you never have seen before. Its something no human, can ever take down, no matter how many years they train." Gildarts said, his voice stern and serious.
"Whatever you do, fighting is never an option when it comes to Acnologia. If you ever come in an encounter with it, running is the only option." Tyrrak said.
Natsu had his eyes looked down, thinking that was Acnologia, the dragon who killed Yoruyama, that strong, that even Gildarts and Tyrrak together weren't enough. No one could even think about the level of power Acnologia possessed.
"I see. Thank you Gildarts, and Tyrrak. For the warning!" Natsu said, before then showing his face, which showed a smile, but Gildarts and Tyrrak know the seriousness Natsu had in his voice, so they smiled as well.
"Glad you understand, Natsu." Gildarts said. "It might not look like it, but you have matured some bit since we last saw each other." Tyrrak said, smiling.
"Alright, but then me and Happy shall be going for now. See you two later!" Natsu said, before leaving with Happy.
Once Natsu and Happy had left, Tyrrak went to speak. "You think Natsu will keep his promise?" Tyrrak asked. "I know as long as you have, Tyrrak. We know that Natsu, isn't the one who would go that path, no matter what." Gildarts said.
Natsu and Happy were strolling down the road, and Happy went to speak. "Natsu, you think that Acnologia were that strong?" Happy asked, still shocked and terrified from earlier. Natsu were silent for a moment, and then stopped walking and looked up into the clear, blue sky. "Natsu?" Happy asked in confusion. "If Acnologia were strong enough for not even Tyrrak and Gildarts together could take him down, then it shouldn't be a joke. Tyrrak and Gildarts are the types who would lie about that." Natsu said. "What shall we do then?" Happy asked.
"We must hope that Acnologia never appears before us." Natsu said, and then continued to stroll down back to their Guild. But they didn't know the events that would soon occur.
And that´s does it for this chapter, man this truly became longer than I thought. But what do you think of the Chapter? Please review, favorite and follow. I hope to update my stories soon as possible, with so many things going in the world right now.
Anyway, I have introduced a New OC to the Natsu of the Darkness-Story, Tyrrak Chromell. I hope I introduced him well, as well his epic Shatter Point Magic. I would like thank my friend altajir95 for inspiring to make him, as well his Magic, which I were inspired from a Fairy Tail Fanon Wiki Page he showed me. Don't worry, I wont copy it entirely, as I will make several differences.
Speaking of the Magic, here are some translations for the spells you saw Tyrrak perform in this chapter:
"Chirasu" = Japanese for "Scatter."
"Funka" = Japanese for "Eruption."
"Bakufu" = Japanese for "Blast."
Also, within this chapter, I revealed that Mystogan had encountered Diabolus in the past, showing how dangerous they are.
Also, please don't forget that I am searching for a New Beta Reader, so please PM me for requirement. But that´s it for this chapter. The next chapter will begin the Edolas Arc, (which will be a Hundred Times better than in canon of course), for real, I promise you that. But until then, see you all later!
