Natsu woke up with a groan feeling pain throughout his whole body. He opened his eyes and looked around confused. He recognized the room he was in.

Natsu: "The infirmary? Why am I in the infirmary?"

He lifted his left hand to rub his head, confused on how he made it to the infirmary. All he remembered was fighting with Gray over something he said to his little sister Hana. A fight broke out and that is all he remembered. Natsu suddenly gasped as he remembered about the S-Class trials that he was ononamented for.

Natsu: "The S-Class trials! I compley forgot about that! I hope they didn't leave without me!"

He threw himself from the bed and landed on his feet. He then cried out in pain and crashed into the floor. He groaned in pain, and he noticed how he couldn't move his right arm. He looked to see it was completely wrapped in heavy bandages. He then looked down at his bottom half to see that his right leg and chest were wrapped up as well. He suddenly heard someone running to the infirmary and the door was kicked open.

Macao: "Hana, you can't just kick the door of the infirmary down!"

Hana: "I heard a crash, you old man! That means my brother is up!"

Natsu looked up to see his little sister Hana. They looked at each other and she started crying when she saw him. She ran over to him and jumped into his arms. Natsu groaned in pain, but hugged his crying sister back, confused as to why she was crying in the first place.

Macao: "Oh Natsu! So, you ARE awake!"

He looked up to see Macao. The man sighed and walked over to the dragon siblings.

Macao: "Hana, get off your brother so I can get him back in bed."

Hana's cries died down as she got off of Natsu. Macao wrapped Natsu's arm over his shoulder and heled him back into bed. Natsu sat down on the bed.

Natsu: "Macao, where is everyone? I didn't miss the ride to Tenrou, did I?"

Hana pouted and crossed her arms. She looked upset about something, which confused Natsu. Macao sighed, knowing that the young dragon slayer wasn't going to enjoy the bad news.

Macao: "Natsu...I'm sorry but you've been out for a few days."

Natsu nodded his head, even though that didn't answer his question.

Macao: "And well..."

Hana: "They left without you!"

Natsu looked over at his little sister shocked, and Macao looked upset.

Macao: "Hana!"

Hana: "What they did! They left without him and Happy!"

Natsu looked over at Macao and he sighed as he nodded his head. Natsu couldn't believe what he was hearing. They left without him.

Natsu: "W... What?! How could they just leave without me!?"

Macao: "It's okay, Natsu. Master said that next year you'll have a guaranteed spot because your injury was an accident."

Hana gasped as she glared at the old man. Natsu looked at her confused.

Hana: "An ACCIDENT! No way! Gray knew what he was doing!"

Natsu looked at Hana shocked and confused. But then it all came back to him. He and Gray got into a fight like they normally do, but for some reason Gray took it too far and crashed him under an ice pillar. Crushing both his arm and his leg.

Natsu: "Wait...what happened to Gray?"

Hana pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. Natsu looked at her confused.

Hana: "Gramps still let him compete!"

Natsu looked at his little sister shocked and upset. Gray could badly injure him, and he still gets to become a S-Class wizard!?

Natsu: "That is so unfair! He gets to hurt me badly for no reason, and still gets to compete!?"

Macao: "Erza vouched for him, claiming it was an accident. None of us believe it, but Master did."

Natsu groaned and got even more annoyed.

Hana: "But don't worry, Su-Su! I highly doubt Gray will win! I was going to root for you, but now I'm rooting for Cana!"

Natsu smiled and nodded his head.

Natsu: "You know what. Me too!"

Macao smiled, happy that they wouldn't have to deal with two pissed off dragon slayers. He was praying that they didn't hurt Gray badly when they came back home.

(Four weeks later)

It's been a few weeks late of when the Tenrou group returns, with no sign of them. Natsu was fully healed by now and he was pacing back and forth in between the bar and tables with Romeo and Hana copying his movements behind him. After a few hours, the large doors of the guild suddenly opened, and everyone stopped what they were doing as they looked at the doors. Natsu froze in his place, causing Hana and Romeo to crash into him. They all looked at the door to see Mest walk through the doors with another man who had tied up back hair and glasses, and some guards behind them. They were both wearing council member uniforms. Hana clung to the back of her brother's vest, so lost and confused. She was wondering why the council army was here with Mest and not the rest of the Tenrou group.

Natsu: "Mest? What's going on? Why are you dressed like-"

Mest; "That is not my name, Natsu Dragneel. My name is Doranbolt, magic council member."

Everyone looked at Mest shocked and confused.

Natsu: "What? That makes no sense, Mest. Why are you with these people and not the Tenrou group?"

Mest or Doranbolt flinched, and Hana could smell saddens from him. The guild saw it in his face, and they were even more nervous now.

Mest: "Natsu...Fairy Tail. I am sorry to report this to you. But...Team Tenrou...have been killed."

Everyone looked at Mest shocked, not wanting to believe what they had just heard come out of his mouth.

Natsu: "W... What? What do you mean? Mest if this is some kind of joke, it's not funny."

Hana nodded her head as she clung to her brother's vest. The glasses man glared at Natsu in anger.

Glasses: "We do not joke, Dragneel. We saw the whole thing. Tenrou island was destroyed by Acnologia, the black dragon. There is nothing left."

The guild members that were left looked at the man shocked. Romeo and Hana started to cry, not wanting to believe a word that the council told them.

Hana: "NO! You're lying!"

Romeo: "Y... Yeah!"

Natsu wrapped his arm around his sister and pulled her into a hug as she sobbed into his chest. Mest couldn't take all the members of the guild shouting and yelling anymore.

Mest: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Everyone shut up and looked at the man shocked that he would just shout at them like that, after they were just told that some of their friends, no family were killed by a dragon no less.

Mest: "What kind of proof do you want us to give you so then you'll believe us?! Huh!? Do you want us to go and show you an empty ocean!? Or would you rather we go underwater and pull out the limps, intestines, and severed heads of your dead guild members!? Would that satisfy you huh!?"

Everyone looked at him shocked, but then suddenly Romeo and Hana started to scream from just imagining the mental imagine Mest gave them of their friend's dead bodies. Macao and Natsu glared HARD at Mest for scaring their son/little sister like that.

Mest: "Look, I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped like that."

Natsu: "Yeah you shouldn't have! You just told us our friends were dead and now you just gave Romeo and my little sister nightmares for days!"

Lahar: "Even I agree Doranbolt. That was harsh."

Mest sighed and nodded his head.

Natsu: "Why don't you fucken leave and never come back."

Mest nodded his head, and he got up. He and the rest of the guards left with him and Lahar. Natsu sighed, but he soon let everything sink in. He didn't want to believe it, so he decided to make a team to go see and set out to go see if it was true or not with Happy. To their shock and horror, Mest was telling the truth. Tenrou Island was no more.

Happy: "Natsu..."

Natsu: "I know."

Happy: "What do we tell the others?"

Natsu: "We have to tell them the truth, Happy."

Happy sighed and nodded his head. They flew back to the guild, where they informed everyone the sad truth. This broke everyone. They all started to fall apart, which upset Natsu.

Natsu: "Alright everyone, listen up!"

They all looked over at Natsu as he stood in the middle of the guild hall with his hands on his hips. Hana and Romeo listened to him as everyone else was either drinking their sorrows away or barely paying attention.

Natsu; "We need to get out of this funk that we're in! This isn't the Fairy Tail I know and love. The Tenrou team would want us to live our lives, not mop around! They would want to see this guild prosper in their memory, not crumble to the ground! None of them died to watch us let the very thing they fought for fall apart all because we couldn't handle it!"

Hana and Romeo cheered as they nodded their heads. Everyone still didn't look too convinced by Natsu's speech.

Natsu: "Droy, what would Levy say if she could see you right now? How do you think she would feel about you are letting yourself go all because of her death?"

Droy looked at Natsu shocked, because he knew exactly what that tiny girl would tell him.

Natsu: "Bisca! If you were to ever die, would you want Alzack to just give up?"

Bisca: "Hell no! I would want him to live on for me!"

Everyone cheered, finally getting what Natsu was trying to tell them. They all soon got their spirits up and Natsu smiled at this. Hana giggled and ran over to her brother and jumped into his arms. Natsu smiled and hugged his sister back.

Macao: "If Fairy tail is going to live long, we're going to beed a new guild master. Someone just as strong as the spirit of our guild!"

Wakaba: "And we know someone for the job!"

Everyone nodded their heads, and then everyone looked over at Natsu. He looked at everyone shocked as Hana grinned and nodded her head.

Macao: "Our next guild master should be you, Natsu."

Natsu: "W... What?! Me!? But...But I don't know how to be a guild master!"

Macao: "We'll teach you, kid. So, what do you say?"

Natsu didn't know what to say. Sure, it's an honor to become a guild master, but it was also a lot of work. He looked down at his little sister. She smiled and nodded her head.

Hana; "You would make a great guild master, Su-Su! Right Romeo!?"

Romeo grinned and nodded his head. They all started to chant Natsu's name, which made him smile.

Natsu: "Fine I accept!"

The guild exploded with cheers, and they threw a big party for the Fourth guild master of Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel.
