Chapter V: Wide Open

Takes place where we last left off (Author's POV)

Those blue eyes dug deep into the male's soul. Natsu couldn't believe what-who he was seeing. He stood still like an aging tower that give a short amount of time would collapse. Rory picked up on her brother's state and ran in front of him, shaking him out of his daze. The older sibling turned his attention to Rory for a mere second before losing sight of the figure in the shadows.

How much he wanted to know if that was her… The one who left all those nights ago. How much he wanted to hear her voice…

"You ok Natsu?" Rory asked, worried about her brother.

"Um, y-yeah. I'm fine." He smiled back at his sister who was around his waist. "Let's go get some food."

"Ok!" She smiled and held onto his arm as they walked over to the diner.

The two of took a look around and saw the place had a few other people sitting down but overall it wasn't crowded. One group was on one side, roughly eight of them having a joyful time. And there was another group of three sat against the outer line of tables. There was a rather large woman who many could mistake for a bear and two little boys who weren't far off the size of their mother.

'If they kept eating like the way they are, then they'll be fatter than a cow.' Both Natsu and Rory thought simultaneously.

It took a few moments before the waitress came over and greeted them. She was a rather tall girl, almost six foot. Her blonde hair was tied up into two twin tails and her bangs fit her face perfectly. Her blue eyes were the same shade of the beautiful ocean, making Natsu heat up a bit. Everything about this girl right from the start seemed to be perfect: he couldn't keep his eyes off her and had his mind go long. Her large breasts were around the same size of Erza's and he bet they even tasted good. Whoever was lucky enough to be with her, was loving a goddess in human form.

Even her voice… He would have to say it was very angelic and brought warmth to his large heart. He was crushing on her, and they just met. Rory coughed into her fist while elbowing her brother in the ribs causing the male to nearly fall on his ass.

"Ouch!" Natsu said as he rubbed his sore back.

The waitress came running over asking if he was ok, and without anything to stop her, she tripped: falling right on top of the male. Rory couldn't believe her brother's luck. His first time here and he already had girls falling for him… Well on top of him.

"Ohh, I'm sorry." She got up quickly and offered her hand to Natsu who shook his head before reaching for it. "I do hope you're ok." She said in a quiet voice which made her sound like an innocent young girl who was about to be taken as a bride.

"It's fine! Really! It's fine…" Natsu tried hard to keep his sword in his pants which Rory gulped, seeing it just made her wish to get out of here quickly so they could spend more time together... alone.

"Ok then. Welcome to the Athena's diner. My name is Lucy, if you please follow me this way to your seats." They followed the girl to a booth. "Here's the menus. Today's specials are listed on the second page. Be free to ask if you have any questions, shall I start off with drinks?"

"Sure. Thanks. I guess I'll have water." Natsu said still red in the face after the previous event.

"Ok. And you miss?" Lucy turned to Rory who was glaring at the waitress.

"I'll have the same." Rory said in a mutual tone.

"Already, I'll be right back with your drinks." Lucy scampered off, a little scared of the little girl. 'It looked like she was going to devour me…' Lucy gulped, hoping that wasn't the case.

The two Dragneel's sat in silence for a bit before Natsu took out pen from the cup on the table and flipped over his place mat and drew a hangman on the back of it. With a sly smile he drew out the bar and placed out the spaces.

"Let's play hangman!"

"Sure, what's the topic?"

"People. Mainly those you and I know."

"Lame." Rory said making her brother pout. "Can't think of anything else?" Natsu shook his head, he couldn't really think of anything else besides food.

"Fine then, I guess I'll give it a shot." She looked at the paper and remained quiet for a bit.

With a snap of her fingers she smiled as she thought of the answer. She crossed her arms and smiled triumphantly.

"S." She spoke.

Natsu wrote down the 'S' and drew a head, beginning the hangman. Rory nearly died when she saw that there wasn't any 'S's. She guessed the next letter.

"W." Natsu looked at her for a moment before drawing the neck and writhing down 'W'. Rory began to panic and started sweating a lot. Lucky enough for her Lucy just arrived with their drinks.

"Hoh? Someone's playing hangman?" She smiled while looking at the topic and spaces. "Is the name Mirajane?" Natsu dropped his pen and just stared at the blonde.

He recovered and filled out the name. Rory and Natsu were both surprised that the girl knew the answer where as they never met before.

"Cool! I got it right!" She did a little dance and jumped a bit. "Ok, are you two ready to order?"

"I am. Are you Rory?" She nodded. "Ok, well I guess I'll start off with the sea food special. What sides does it come with?"

"Ah yes, it comes with your choice of soup and salad along with two sides of either: fries, baked potatoes, onion rings, corn, broccoli, and some other veggies. I recommend the cheddar-broccoli soup."

"I'll take you up on that."

"Ok, and what sides did you want?"

"I guess I'll have onion rings and do you have red-skin potatoes?" Lucy nodded. "Ok, I'll have that as well please." Lucy marked down his order and turned to the little dragoness.

"I'll have the same, but instead of potatoes, I'll have broccoli."

Lucy smiled and walked off to the kitchen, with a yell she gave the order and a male yelled back conformation. She laughed when the cook left a little sly remark that she almost threw a knife right at him.

"Lucky mom isn't here Leo… Otherwise I wouldn't mind taking you out back and beating you with that rolling pin. But if I did, I'll be the only one left to cook."

The male, Leo as Lucy called him remained silent, fearful of his sister's words. Like all sisters, they always got their little 'scary' side to them that'll make even the strongest shrink down in front of them. Natsu already knew of Rory's scary side…

They went back to the game, this time Rory changed the title into 'couples'. Natsu questioned it for a while as he tried to figure out the answer. Sometimes, the male was just too stupid to realize the clear choice.

"I give up. You win."

"No shit. I even started another body..." She teased even though it was the truth. "I'm hurt you didn't get this one..." She filled out his name before moving to the last one.

"Wait! The answer is Natsu and Rory!" She gave a half smile as she finished the test.

Food just arrived along with another round of drinks. The two dragons thanked Lucy for the meal before digging in. They had to admit, the food wasn't bad… it was really good. Only their mother made better.

Speaking of their mother, she was probroly waiting for them to come home. The two kids began to worry about their mother who was the type of mother who would worry if her kids didn't come back on time. Now that Natsu was back, Ophis began to start acting the way she used to many centuries ago. She was more warm hearted and enjoyed spending time with her family. Rory was truly grateful her brother came home, now she had her brother's love and the love of her mother instead of her usual cold shoulder and distant mother.

Ophis was still warm majority of the times around Rory while she grew up. She thought her daughter everything from the basics of life to how to fight. When she met her father for the first time, he took her into his arms and held her close: never wanting to let his princess go. As the decades went by, Igneel had a few matches against her which she was able to hold some ground before the King became serious. Both Igneel and Ophis enjoyed teasing their kids, but training was on a different level. No mercy for those who couldn't keep up. The younglings however did not disappoint.

When Natsu was really young, the equivalent to a four year old in human standards Igneel and Ophis used to take him high in the mountains and train him how to use his 'roar'. While both parents were in their actual dragon forms, Natsu always remained a child who watched as his parents blew the tops of mountains. Showing off was always something the Dragneel's loved to do and no one was an exception.

A loud bang was heard and the power to the diner went out, only leaving the exit signs as the only source of light minus the constant lightning strikes outside. The two dragons however didn't pay any heed to the weather as they still were stuck in their little daze.

While thinking about how things have changed, Rory mistakenly dropped her fork.

"I'm glad that mom has returned back to normal… It's all thanks to you Natsu." Rory said while looking under the table for her fork. Having all the senses of a dragon made it very easy to see in the dark. She found her fork, along with something she couldn't wait to have back inside her. Thinking that it would be fun to tease Natsu, she went onto her knees and began to rub her face against his boner through his pants.

Natsu nearly jumped but kept his cool. Rory noticed Natsu's reaction and smiled evilly as she unzipped his shorts and began to lick his member. Kiss after kiss was planted. The teasing went on for a while till Natsu decided to put an end to it. With a light pat on the head, Rory stopped her little fun, and went back up to her seat. If the power wasn't out, then she would've been seen and most likely labeled a pervert to the tenth degree.

"Please don't do something like that in public…" Natsu said with a red face not that anyone minus Rory could see.

The two returned to normal - 'appropriate' standards. The power was still out yet no one minus the overly fat lady and her brats who sat in the back of the place complained. Lucy however wasn't going to have any of it and continued to ignore her. The two Dragneel's sighed as they could sense and feel the temperature of the diner drop dramatically...

The woman got out of her seat and told her kids to go to the car. They obeyed, and went to the car not making eye contact with anyone: most likely because they were embarrassed. The poor kids might have acted a bit bratty but now that their mother began making a scene, all they wanted to do was go crawl under a rock.

"Hurry up! There's no point in staying for poor service. That damned girl is so stupid she doesn't realize that the bill is going to be on her." The cheapskate turned the tables against Lucy who stopped walking: her back still facing the larger and more beastly woman. She leaned onto the table at her side, trying to keep a fake smile as the words continued to attack her.

"I bet no one even cares to have such a useless waitress. You'd be better off as a hooker down at the local strip club!" Momma Bear laughed.

Lucy snapped the wooden table with her bare hand not that many people could see it in the dark. The very air surrounding the two females began to become ice cold where you could see their every breath. Lucy turned to the woman and with not known speeds, she grabbed the lady by her collar and threw her out the doors. The whole scene played by bit was all done in the matter of seconds as lightning struck down during the throw.

"Wow… She reminds of Lucy… But then again the Lucy I knew was a pervert." Natsu crossed his arms as the brown eyed girl crossed his mind.

The waitress gritted her teeth and yelled back at the woman who was dumbstruck at the strength the girl shown. Lucy sent a glare making the woman scramble to her feet, running to her car and running away. Despite the broken table which was the only thing broken, Lucy calmed down and smiled evilly. She leaned over from where she picked up the bear of a woman, and lifted up her purse. Digging through it, she got the money along with the proper tip amount which covered the meals and broken table.

Seeing that the woman was having trouble starting her car, Lucy threw the lady's purse right at her through her open window, smacking her in the face. She turned on the engine and sped away without a moment's glance. Lucy smiled triumphantly and walked back to the kitchen. She came back out with a dust pan and a broom to clean her mess.

"Well, I guess the Luce I know isn't that far off from this one… Just the eyes, height and this one seems cooler." Natsu smiled.

Rory just looked at her brother, waiting for more words to come out of his mouth before she slaps him for being an idiot. No one knows why he's such a blockhead, but when the times arise, he's always right on the spot. Rory was falling more in love with the man of her dreams every day.

"Sorry you had to see that," a male voice came out from the side. "My little sister doesn't like it when people insult her…" The blonde male said as he made eye contact with Natsu.

"Who does? Hahaha." Natsu cracked a laugh, making the blonde smile.

The male waved and went to ease his sister. Lucy sighed but nodded as she handed the tools to him and took a seat at the table next to Natsu and Rory. The two pairs of siblings remained rather silent for a bit till Natsu asked the first question, one that if humans heard it they'd laugh. Well to be more precise, he just stated an out of the blue statement.

"So you two are immortals… descendants of a god I assume?" The boy's smile grew and Lucy started to chuckle to herself.

"Are we that easy to be figured out?" Lucy said.

"Well, I guess nearly freezing the place and throwing some fat cow in the air and out the doors were minor hints…" The male said staring at his sister.

"Shut up Leo!" Lucy said to the male now known as Leo. "I wish mum was here so I could just go hangout with my friends."

"You mean the same friends that left you on your birthday last week, all alone? Nah, I don't think those are good friends." Leo said as he tried to make a 'protective' older brother scene. "Also, we're going to be closing up soon anyhow so no need to worry."

"We still need to clean up though…" Lucy sighed.

Rory and Natsu continued to stare at the other brother-sister duo. They figured that's how siblings usually act and didn't seem to be far off themselves.

"Also, back to your question. We are indeed the descendants of gods, but rather than just being immortals, we are the constellations. I'm Leo the Lion and this is my younger sister Lucy."

"I'm the wolf." She said with much pride as she beated her chest. "One of the youngest, but still one of the strongest." She then turned to Rory and then back to Natsu. "I take it you two are Ophis' kids?"

"Yep. " They said in sync. "Stop copying me!" They repeated their little banter for a bit till they just grew exhausted from it.

"Cool. Well we're the children of Athena, hence what we had our diner named… Well mom actually named it, we just work here so she doesn't need to hire anyone. She's a bit of a cheapskate. Haha." Leo said making Lucy puff her cheeks. "And Lucy here knows it's true."

"She's not as bad as dad though… He really needs to hold back some times."

They all continued to talk for a while as the power still remained off. They went from talking about how their family was, to how this world and the three major factions war consisting of devils, angels and fallen angels had no interest to them. Figuring that none of them fit into either category, there was no need to worry about it.

Lucy then got called over by a green haired girl over from the other side of the diner and went to go speak with her. Leo smiled as he waved over to the one male of the group who gave a smirk and a thumbs up.

"That kid sure moves fast… Can't believe he isn't even five hundred yet." He waved Natsu and Rory, telling them the food was on the house and to feel free to come back whenever they wanted.

Natsu grantee him they will most definitely take up on his offer. Yet besides leaving nothing, Natsu made sure to give a proper tip amount for the both of them to share. The two Dragneel's then got up and made their way to the exit, waving now to Lucy who smiled back at them. Natsu froze for a bit but was carted out by none other than Rory.

One thing the two of them picked on was something rather strange yet very familiar, the scent of those teens over by Lucy was very akin to a dragon. Playing it easy they made their way out and just at the final moment traded glances with the blonde male of the group. Natsu could feel just by gazing alone that the other male had something hidden and what he could only feel now was just a front. The girls around him were at the same level, making it seem very peculiar. That boy along with those girls could easily rival him and he looked somewhat forward to the day they'd meet again.

Once outside, they noticed the rain still hadn't let up and was coming down hard. The power was out for all the neighboring houses and buildings. The wind was picking up more strength and began to nearly de-root trees. As expected no one was outside in this weather which was very close to becoming a gale. They rushed to the other side of the street and under the overhangs.

"I guess we need to hurry back home." Natsu said while gazing up at the dark clouds. "I would think the others are quite bored and maybe even annoyed with the fact I didn't tell them that we were going to the human world. Erza seems to think I should always bring her home a cake…" He started laughing as he offered his arm to his sister. "It's best to hurry back, I don't want to think about what they would do to me."

Rory laughed and took her brother's arm. The two then proceeded to walk behind another building not that far off from the diner so no one would see them nor feel the portal open. The portal opened and they walked on through. On the other side they were greeted by their father who had a rather curious look on his face.

"Hey Dad. Something wrong?"

"I'm not so sure… But I do believe that your cousin Wendy needs your help. Apparently-"

"WENDY is in danger! I gotta-!" Natsu spoke as Igneel brought his fist slamming down on his head, knocking him into the ground with a complete body implantation.

"As I was saying, Wendy and her mother apparently ran into a group of devils along with some dragons who think they can take them out. Normally I wouldn't worry since she is with her mother and they're both very powerful." He turned to his wife who just started walking out of the front doors to greet her children.

"As your father was saying, there happens to be someone there who is able to harm them. Someone with the unique skills and magic meant to kill dragons."

"So a dragon slayer? We've faced many of them before so we shouldn't be in much of corner. Yet something's not right is it?" Natsu looked to his mother who gave him a smile.

"My, you've become so smart. But I have to say it isn't a dragon slayer. This world lacks even more knowledge about us than Earthland did." Ophis said as her son began scratching his head.

"I can't think of anything else that could harm a dragon." He looked to his sister who just shrugged her shoulders. "I believe whatever is going on, that if they requested our help no matter what we need to oblige. When family is in danger, you jump for them."

"That's my son." Igneel beamed. "Yet I must warn you to keep a rather omnibus role. Try to gather intel rather than just jumping head first into their little brawl."

"Also pay in mind that my sister is hurt. Someone was able to get a good hit on her so she is slightly below one hundred percent." Ophis said as she motioned for Igneel and Rory to go back inside, leaving just her and Natsu outside.

"Anything else mom?"

"I'm going to go with you. I seems there is a possibility that I know who's behind this." Ophis reverted to her childish form which everyone knows her to possess and keep her adult form only for her family's eyes.

The 'little girl' led the way, her son following suite right behind her. Another portal opened up courtesy of the loli who wore her blank-expressionless face. The two of them remained silent on their little trip, not saying a word till they reached the other end of the portal.

X_X (Now at the same mountain range as Wendy and Esdeath.)

"Guess this is the place… Man mom, your sister really likes the cold." Natsu said as he began rubbing his arms for warmth. "It's gotta be ten below… How can any thing live in this condition?!" He whined.

"It's not supposed to be like this… Not till we get to the top that is. Something big is going down and we need to hurry. I don't like keeping my little sister waiting. She tends to be a brat…" Natsu jumped at his mother's sudden change in character.

Ophis just laughed at her son's dismay. Her son was so much like Igneel that she was having many flash backs of events just like this one with her mate instead of her son who was currently using fire to keep himself warm.

"Are you really that cold?" Ophis raised a brow as Natsu comically fell face forward into the snow and made a snow angel…

"She does love it here in the mountains… Get up Natsu otherwise you'll freeze to death." Ophis joked.

Natsu couldn't tell and lit his whole body on fire along with the land around him, creating a large twenty-foot diameter around him. He jumped up to his feet and shaked off a bit. The two of them hurried back to the subject at hand, and ran to an old castle-like structure which was crawling with devils along with demons. Natsu licked his lips as he looked at his prey. Ophis however held him by his collar despite his eagerness.

"Patience Natsu. We need to spot the others first before we make our presence known. Think smart here." Ophis flicked his nose.

The younger dragon listened and watched his mother begin to work her magic. Two devils seemed to be going around on patrol on the outskirts of the structure and heading directly towards their location. Both Dragneel's remained silent as the eldest one made a silent motion. Natsu read it clear, and proceeded to remain

While waiting, they over heard the clumsy fools talk about their plans. It was all too easy to get everything they needed just by lending an ear. Everything from how many troops they had sent, to even the name of their leader. The information seemed too good to be true, and Ophis expected as such. With yet another nod, Natsu leaped and killed the two guards by smashing their heads deep into the ground.

Ophis sighed, she didn't mean kill them… Well she did, but not by making a lot of noise. Without any doubt others heard the 'bang' and quick cries for help. As if on cue, six more devils arrived at the scene, eyeing their deceased comrades. Just standing there right in between the two bodies was Natsu who was scratching the back of his head till they made their move. Three of the devils jumped up in the air and launched fire based attacks to Natsu's joy.

He just stood still and let the attacks hit him dead on, a roar of triumph echoing through the snow covered trees. The devils laughed and cried as they 'killed' their enemy. Growing tired of this little deboggle: Ophis walked out from her spot and behind Natsu who was still covered in the flames- having the smoke cover his figure along with his mother's who was now standing next to him.

"We got him! Cocky bastard probroly caught Mitchell and Reigns by surprise." One devil said as he landed in front of the fire. "It's about time we had some heat around here. We've been freezing with all this snow." He rubbed his shoulders as the remaining devils gathered around him and the flames to keep themselves warm.

The other devils made small and idle chit-chatter. The whole event lasted at most thirty seconds till Natsu had enough of hearing the devils. Doing what he does best, he started sucking in the flames, the very sound of it made the devils jump back in fright.

"What's going on?!"

"What's happening to the fire?!"

"No way…"

"Are you kidding me?! He's a dragon!" The eldest one yelled as Natsu finished his meal. "Radica, go tell the others there's more dragons!" he turned to the only female of the group.

"Right away!" She spread her wings and took flight.

Natsu looked disappointed as he wanted to have some fun with his prey, but now that they're rushing him it was time to end this little show. On top of that, he was worried for his aunt and cousin who are in a tight pinch.

"Sorry but I'm in a rush and I already wasted time here… So I'm just going to end this now." He snapped his eyes forward and towards the groups elder.

He halted his movement as he saw through with his attack. With what many could say was an easy one-sided fight: all the devils minus the female who was flying away ended up on the ground with their flesh and wings burnt. Looking up at the fleeing devil Natsu took a few steps forward before summoning a ball of black flames in his palm. He brought his hand in front of him: raising it high as he brought it back and having it take the form of a javelin. He sighed as he locked on to his target. With much precision, Natsu hit his target. The javelin made of pure black flames pierced right through the girl's chest and burned her body into nothingness.

"I hate killing women..." He said as he looked over to his mother who was already making her way to the fortress. "Wait up mom!" He ran to her as she slapped him when he came in range, telling him to calm down.

Within five minutes they reached the fortress and dealt with everyone who crossed in their path. Ophis then pointed above, pointing out her sister and Wendy who were currently fighting off some sort of demons which neither prior mention ever seen before.

"What the hell are those things?!" Natsu yelled out loud, drawing the remaining foes towards him and his mother.

"Shut it. Those have to be some sort of experiment… I have never seen such beings before in all my lifetime." Ophis ignored the grunts that came at her as once they came within twenty feet radius of her, they completely disintegrated into utter nothing ness.

One would think they would learn that their attempts were futile, and that their lives were being wasted… Instead they kept charging right at her till one devil wised up and took into the air as he prepared his magic attack. Instead of wasting anytime waiting for him to complete his move, Natsu impaled him before spinning his body clean off his fist and into the remaining foes on the ground.

A large black demon which bared resemblance to a griffon made up of shadow-like flames flew straight at the pinkette who kept his eyes glued to his mother. Despite not paying any attention, he landed an uppercut to the beak of the beast causing it to howl out in pain. The beast glared its eyes at its foe who paid little mind to it, as if he was an annoying fly and nothing more. Enraged, it once more charged Natsu, this time landing a hit on Natsu's chest.

Natsu gritted his teeth as the beasts claws tore into his flesh and proceeded to pull him down with it, hurtling into the ground below. The beast then opened its mouth as a green light emerged from his throat. The beast blasted its attack straight at Natsu's non-moving body, having a direct hit and large explosion erupt shaking the very grounds. All the snow around the area where Natsu fell was now clear of it and was scorched blacker than his normal vest. The beast however wasn't done as it lunched yet another attack which added to the previous insult for injury.

Ophis ignored the whole event knowing her son was far stronger than anyone and anything here. She had one goal: get to her sister and niece before they come over powered. Going around and from what she has seen so far, the only ones who could even come close to hurting any of the dragons present must be those demons currently fighting Esdeath and Wendy.

"If I remember correctly, then the leader should still be up there." She made a bee-line to the roof just in time to see her sister 'kill' a shadowy figure that bared resemblance to a Romanian-knight with a glowing red visor.

Out of all the figures on the roof, Wendy and Esdeath were up against at least four of the same black knight which was down for the count, and three other figures which were very similar to the knights but appeared to be a reptile of some sort. Yet the main head appeared to have a cloak on, covering his appearance. In total minus the figure head: seven of these abominations remained while Natsu dealt with the griffin looking one.

As Wendy saw her aunt come into view, she felt more relieved now that her mother could relax a little more. Not that long ago when these devils and demons showed up, only the mountains retained snow at the peeks. Yet one demon turned every single drop of rain from an earlier rain shower into snow. The suddenness and the quick planning led to where things now laid. The center figure with the cloak was the one issuing orders to the others and his fellow three lizards remained at his sides as if they were his guard.

"Well looks like Ophis is here as well… Should've been done by now but I guess it can't be helped. Risk! Bone!" He called to two of the black knights. "Take care of that woman. The rest of you can focus on Ophis." The knights followed his demands and went to their targets.

Ophis only looked back at the two black knights which now faced her. She couldn't dent the fact they had power but in comparison to her they were but ants. At least that's what she thought… One knight pulled a sword through his rib cage (well were it would be if he had one). It was made of the very same black flames they were, and he brought it down fast and just missed Ophis who stared wide-eyed at her foe.

'Is this actually happening? Someone can reach those levels of speed…?' She thought about it till the next knight followed his friend's lead and brought his sword just above her head till Ophis disappeared. Both knights now stood still in the air while gazing around trying to find Ophis.

"You are fast… But you're still not even close to me. It is impossible for you to defeat me." Ophis called from above as she sent a bolt of flames straight at them, engulfing them whole and removing them from existence.

Two of the lizards that guarded the main head just then started to create some space between their leader and themselves, forming a triangle formation with their leader in the back. Both guards copied their underlings and brought forth a weapon from the very insides of their bodies. One took out a bow staff and the other took out a scythe with a rather weird blade that had the bladed edge on the outside rather than the inside. Yet unlike the knights, these weapons were solid, and not made of flames.

They both then started to move towards Wendy while spinning their weapons in either their left or right hand depending form which side they came from. Wendy backing up till she found some good footing attacked with slashes of wind cutting through the two lizards. Yet despite the clean cut that was all to it, nothing more. They still remained unharmed as they recovered and continued their march. Wendy had sent a few more wing slashes sent this time to each of them, but still had the same end result. She could hear them start to laugh at her only making her angrier. The third one then joined in holding a long sword, and covering the rear.

Her next attack however halted their laughter and movement. Gathering wind into her mouth, Wendy released a roar which removed them completely from this plane and went far into the grounds below blowing away any trees in its path. The roar grabbed the attention of the two older dragonesses who just finished their own matches. All the other demons were dead, just leaving the leader all alone against three dragon goddesses. The leader sighed and had his body split into another copy of himself and so forth till three more lizard guards stood with him. He let out a grunt as he pulled out some of the flames that made up his left arm and split it into five balls which went into the air and took shape of the fallen knights. Esdeath gritted her teeth as she saw that this battle was far from over.

"It's amazing… No matter the damage or what happens to my spawns, they can be replaced with ease." His body returned back to normal as the flames came to life quickly. "They're made from my very will. My very desire gives them life."

Growing beyond annoyed and pissed, Wendy broke character and charged straight at the leader. The others didn't even move to protect their leader or themselves. Instead they planned to let the young dragoness release her anger…

Wendy landed a perfect punch and followed up with a spinning round house kick both to the head of the leader. Her attacks did force the figure to be pushed back a bit but the flames which made his body only roared with life as he back handed her and sent the dragoness flying back to her mother.

"Foolish girl… It's not your time yet. But I'll give you the rare pleasure and tell you, you actually are the first being who has ever landed a hit on me and survived. Maybe in the next few hundred years if you somehow make it out of here, you might actually be able to fight me one on one." The leader said in a very much laid back voice which would forever be scratched into all those present heads.

"Who are you?!" Wendy roars while grabbing onto her left arm which suffered damage due to the black flames. "You dare come here… to my family's territory and attack us?!" Wendy gritted her teeth as she wanted to attack again but felt too weak to do so.

The leader only sighed and raised a hand, signaling his men to attack the injured dragoness. Those who were preoccupied had no chance to stop the flame demons from charging straight at Wendy. She stood her ground and got into a defensive stance while glaring at the incoming threat. It was all in slow motion…

Each step seemed to take a day but she was helpless. As they moved their weapons towards the young dragoness, a loud roar pierced the heavens and the griffin which Natsu was facing crashed into the group with Natsu holding his hand at the beast's throat.

With a loud roar he continued to use his unyielding strength and forced the group to the floor before sending them hurtling down the fortress floors and down the mountain. His attack left everyone including his mother stunned. However he was far from done with his quarry. His face was beaming with anger as lightning began to circle his body. He looked down at the group which barely managed to survive the attack let alone the fall. Natsu with to a great extent of anger took a quick breath before releasing a torrent of flames and lightning at them, engulfing the bodies and eliminating the very grounds and forest below. The roar he used against Hades on Tenrou Island failed in comparison.

When he finished his attack, he turned all his attention to the last remaining candidate. Coming up to a more comfortable position, Natsu whipped his brow before he asked his much needed question.

"Is that all?"

"I believe for now it is. Nice to meet your acquaintance Natsu. But I have to keep a schedule so that's enough for now." The leader said as he opened a portal behind himself. "I do apologize for the amount of snow… That was honestly my bad." He laughed.

Natsu however won't let it end there, oh no. He wanted the blood of the bastard who dared hurt his family. He brought his fist back and blasted from his feet and to his target, destroying the figures' hood along with knocking him off balance in a large explosion. He was surprised that the figure was solid instead of just like all the spawns; his attack had an actual hit which made the pinkette feel some relief.

"Still so stubborn…" the male said with his red eyes cut through the smoke letting everyone know he still lived. "Always complicating things." His now blue eyes came to be as the illusion died out.

Now as the smoke cleared, they could make out the face of someone they all thought was dead. A young male with the same colored hair as Wendy.

"No…" Natsu backed up, scared of what- who he saw in front of him.

"This can't be right… This-! What sort of twisted joke is this?!" Esdeath said. "You can't be him!" She started to sob and cry, having her older sister comfort her.

Ophis remained silent as she watched her sister stand up and walk slowly to where Natsu was along with the other male. Wendy followed her mother and came to lean on Natsu who didn't move with the sudden weight added. He was too focused on the blue haired male in front of him.

"I wish you didn't do that…" The now revealed blue haired male brought his hand back before releasing a vortex of wind right back at the ground, masking his escape.

Wendy however ran to the male as he was about to make it into his portal. Her arms wrapped around his waist and she cried softly into his back which was solid. He turned to the side, facing away from the girl and started cursing under his breath before sighing. He couldn't wait any more yet he felt so obligated to do something…

"If only things were different…"

"What are you talking about?! Explain yourself Helios!" Natsu yelled.

Instead he just ignored the pinkette and placed his hands on Wendy's around his waist.

"I'm sorry…" He removed her hands and left her leaning over with her bangs covering her face. "I can't say anything more. This is goodbye." He walked through the portal and left the dragons alone.

Natsu slammed his fist into the ground before releasing a roar witch cut through the clouds, making any and all animals flee within thirty miles. Nothing but pent up anger and rage now cycled through his body. He calmed down however as he went to Wendy who just jumped into her arms and cried her heart out. Natsu couldn't take it anymore and began to let the tears roll down his cheeks.

The young dragons weren't much different from the elder two: all of them had tears in their eyes. Everything made no sense… That is till they found out that Helios was the one who harmed Esdeath and was the one who broke the seal which blocked outsiders from entering their territory. 'Only those of their blood could enter unless escorted by a blood member.' Natsu recalled his mother saying.

"He brought the enemy to our home… He destroyed our home, our land. My own son attacked me." Esdeath whimpered as she let her sister hold her up. "He got a good shot at me… But it's not life threatening."

"Glad you're ok. Let's get you back home. Don't worry about things here, you'll both be fine were your home is." Ophis gave her little sister a smile which couldn't be returned.

Instead a simple 'thank you' was given by the hurt mother, both emotionally and physically. Natsu walked over to his mother an aunt: Wendy held to his chest crying which Natsu just bit down on his tongue as he couldn't bare seeing her cry. They waited for Ophis to open a portal back home.

"Let's go home…" Ophis said to the group which gave no reply.

X_X (Back at the Dragneel residence: 2 hours prior)

Erza and Mira were going at it in the arena, testing their newly acquired strengths while Lisanna and Cana were nursing their wounds from a previous match. Rory and Igneel sat in the stands and watched the sparks fly between the two rivals. Rory was impressed her little sisters were honing their abilities so well as if it came natural.

Igneel on the other hand was wondering when the two would actually stop and give themselves time to breathe. The older dragon however was also enjoying what he saw, and was even more proud of his son for claiming such girls.

"These girls have earned my approval. They will bear the next generation of Dragneel's!" Rory sighed and slapped her father on the back of the head, knocking him head first into the bench in front of him.

"It's still too early for grand kids! Besides, I will be the first to bear my brothers child." She said unknowing of her surroundings.

"Oh, is that so Rory?" Came the voice of Sayla. "I do recall that I was his first love interest, so that right should go to me."

"Quite you old hag." Rory glared at her elder.

"You did not just say that…" Sayla showed her canines, ready for a fight.

"You bet I did! You want to fight about it?!" Igneel decided now would be a good time to stop the match currently going on between the redhead and snow haired girls.

"Alright, you two have been at it for a very good amount of time. Time to take a rest." Erza and Mira both stopped and turned to their new father. "You're both tremendously good fighters, I'm more than proud to call you both my daughters."

"Thank you." They said in sync before giving each other a hug and heading over two the other girls.

Kyouka came over with a towel and some bottles of water for them, which they took without any denial. She smiled at them and just wanted to apologize for her previous actions against them. They waved her off, telling her not to worry about it. They were now family so all is forgiven. That made her smile and tear up a bit but she was so happy that she was forgiven so easily.

"Besides, we'll need to talk about Natsu later… Better get ready for some fun right Erza?" Mira came from behind and started foundling her breasts making both Erza and Sayla blush. "You can make up from last time you two had some alone time."

"Big sis!" Lisanna whined from the side. "Don't do that in front of us!"

The girls began to tease one another but left it at that since Natsu was supposed to be coming back soon. In the mean time, they all joined Igneel in the stands as Rory and Sayla were about to have their duel. To say the air was intense would've been an understatement. The air so thick and hot that swirls of wind began to take shape, evolving into mini-twisters.

"I haven't seen Sayla in an actual fight since we were young and playing with Natsu." Said Kyouka who watched the two girls bring their power up till they were ready. "Best keep back, Sayla tends to be a bit explosive."

With that remark, Sayla blasted from her feet and straight at Rory who didn't have a chance to evade her attack. An elbow right to the back of the head, knocked the young dragoness to the ground- out cold. The event made the fairies freeze as their souls began to exit their bodies. If Sayla had used her strength- her actual power against them at Tartaros no one would've survived. From the ring Sayla called out to those still sitting down, welcoming another challenger.

"Come on, I messed up and ended this to soon… I'm not satisfied yet! Who else thinks they are going to have Natsu's child before me?!"

No one dared to neither move nor say anything. They were speechless... It isn't the first time they've seen an instant K.O., since Laxus and Gildarts always did that to Natsu before. Yet now this was a whole other league… Those who were fighting were dragons: beings who could wipe out nations instantly. Sayla sighed when no one took her up in the ring so she went over to Rory and carried her in her arms as she walked her back to the house.

"I need to take of my little sisters…" Sayla sang as she disappeared from view.

Kyouka took in all those around her, realizing they still needed to train and expand their skills. Even though Sayla and her were turned into demons prior, the fact they had dragon DNA hadn't changed at all. So everything they did nearly came naturally to them, an advantage over the fairies who are still getting used to it.

Igneel unlike the others wasn't shocked at all of the end results of the fight. Sayla used to be able to keep up with Natsu when they were young, so it was nothing out of the ordinary. Rory lost simply because she is hot blooded just like her brother and always rushes into things. He wouldn't tell anyone but he knew they got that trait from him.

"Um, Igneel?" the male pinkette turned to the speaker.

"Yes Erza?" He answered the redhead.

"Do you know when the others are supposed to be back?"Igneel put his hand behind his head as he thought about earlier. "I know they went somewhere but I just wanted to talk to him… Alone if you can tell." Erza blushed but Igneel unlike his son understood females and the way the talk…

"They went to go pick up Wendy and her mother. They should be back very soon. If you want I can Natsu meet you alone in your room: tell him you wanted to talk to him if you wish."

Erza nodded silently and turned her heels and started to walk back to her room. Yet before she left, she muttered a quick and silent 'thank you', making the king smile back.

"I got such nice kids… I wonder how Zeref is doing with Mavis. I would think they'd be coming home soon." He walked over to the others who were sitting down nursing their wounds but they all had smiles on their faces.

"I can't believe Rory got taken out so quickly…" Lisanna said, still not getting over how quick things were moving.

"It only proves the fact she's Natsu's sister. Both of them seem to have that reckless trait." Mira smiled to her younger sister who reflected the same emotion.

Cana remained silent as she looked at her bottle of water which seemed foreign to her. Always being surrounded by alcohol, it was rare to see the brunette drinking something else. But that was just for those around her. No one really knew her as well as they thought, but they all loved her like a sister and in the case of Igneel and Ophis: a daughter. She was more than welcomed to be there and in fact if the subject ever came up, they wouldn't let her deny her place was with them.

"You see deep in thought Cana. Is there something troubling you my dear?" Igneel asked.

"Just thinking I should cut back on the drinking… I got too much of an addiction to alcohol. I take after my mother for this bad habit. Man what would she say if she saw me now…"

"What would she say?" he took a seat next to her. "Good news I hope." He chuckled.

"Yeah… She would be happy I found a guy who truly loves me and will never leave me alone." She took a pause. "I honestly feel blessed even though I wasn't really the type who believed in gods and such… I could surely say she'd be proud of me. Heck she would be so happy to hear that I'm becoming a dragon. She was always the one person who always told me stories about them and how cool it would be to meet one." She took another breath as Igneel looked on.

"She must be doing cartwheels right now since I've done everything she's ever wanted of me."

"Are you happy though?" Igneel asked while looking at the sky above. "You seem to be holding something back; do you want to talk about it?"

"I'm that obvious aren't I…" She smiled as she finished the rest of her bottle. "I just want to be very clear. From this point on I will need to try my best to keep up with Natsu. I refuse to let him leave me behind in the dirt. Call it rivalry, or just call it a sister's love." She jumped to her feet and waved by to Igneel who remained all alone now.

"She is going to be a very nice woman. She's going to be a better mother when the time comes. Hmph Hmph."

X_X

A few hours passed till a scream was heard not so long after everyone went back inside the house. Lisanna was the one who screamed when she saw Natsu carrying Wendy in his arms while Ophis was in her adult form: having her younger sister Esdeath lean on her for support. Erza ran to Natsu's side as she wanted to make out Wendy's condition.

"She's hurt a bit, but… I-I don't know how to detail the events… However I'll tell you later what happened." Natsu brushed past the crowd of the girls and kept walking till he reached Wendy's room.

Once he entered, he placed her down on her bed as she started to cry again. Knowing full well the others were gathered outside the doors Natsu sighed. He didn't want to leave Wendy even if it was for just a second. She needed him. She needed him to be there for her in these moments. For as long as Wendy could remember her older siblings- her only siblings died when she was just a youngling- barely fifty. Her father was the first to go…

"I thought I was the only one left… All I had left was you Natsu. You were the only person who ever cared for me- the only person who protected me. You did everything with me; you were the older brother I lacked."

"Wendy…"

"Just to see his face again… No wonder I was attached to Mystogan. The hair was a reminder of Helios and the others." She thought back to when she saw them. "They were all round your age Natsu, so I figured you'd remember them best."

"If they actually spent time with us like siblings and cousins should've then… I don't know." Wendy looked at Natsu as he thought back about the few times he actually spent with his other cousins. "To be honest, they never were that friendly towards others. Whenever we did hangout even for just a bit they'd keep to themselves. Yet Helios was different… He was shy and very kind."He broke off as he remembered his cousin.

"I have to say Wendy; you are the most sociable one out of all of them. I see you just as I see Rory, my little sister who I'd do anything for."

His words nearly made Wendy jump from her resting spot and hug him to death. To hear him say that just meant so much to her. She teared up along with getting red in the face again, causing Natsu to worry. Panicking he brought his hand to her head checking for a fever or anything that might be off, just proving yet again to the world he is very dense.

With a slight movement and lack of balance, Natsu ended up landing on Wendy: their lips only a few inches apart. Both now blushing didn't dare make the next move since now wasn't the time-

Instead of listening to their brains, they ended up going into a deep and passionate kiss which both asked themselves why they waited so long. The rest of their short 'alone-time' together came to an end as the moment they broke the kiss Erza along with the other fairies and Rory knocked down the door to see their friend/cousin.

"Already making a move on her and you just got back…" Cana pointed out the obvious.

"Such a perverted brother I have." Rory smiled.

"Is there no limit to his lust?" Mira teased.

"I wouldn't mind going at it for a bit…" Erza said not realizing she said that out loud.

The redhead's little spout made the rest of the girls laugh but had their attention focused on the same goal. However Natsu had the strength to deny the girls this one time since he didn't feel up to it emotionally and same could be said for Wendy. So instead of going into any sort of sexual activities, they all gathered around Wendy's bed and just sat down around her as the two began to discuss the earlier events.

They started from why they went to who they faced: many devils which seemed to have no greater desire in life other than to kill Esdeath and her daughter Wendy. The devils ranged from all sorts of levels but none of them were ultimate so it was fairly easy to dispatch of them. However the main concern Esdeath had the whole time was how they were able to break through the barrier… Not even the strongest dragon king could've broken through it so something right off the bat set fear into her heart.

"We ended up killing all the devils that came, but then when their numbers were reduced to a few dozen, these weird figures showed up. They happened to be made purely of black flames very similar to what Natsu had in herniated from his mother."

Natsu decided to add his two cents in.

"Well you'll inherit your mother's ice so fair trade I say…" Wendy ignored him and then proceeded to continue.

"The figures at first all appeared to look the same till they started to spread out and take weird shapes. My mother decided she wanted to finish things quickly… She went for the head figure that didn't move an inch once she was only breaths away from punching him in the face. Yet before I could even see it, the figure landed a kick to her side, causing her to cry out in pain."

Wendy paused as she didn't want to say anymore. The rest of the story was too painful to elaborate on. Instead she let Natsu say his part from the time he arrived.

"Well when we first came my mother was beyond shocked that the forest was covered in snow, it was so cold that even I felt like needing a coat." He rubbed his arms up and down. "Yet we decided to listen on to a group of devils who were going around on patrol, guessing they suspected some help. Despite their efforts, they were killed off easy. Another patrol group however saw the death of the one who tried to fly away… So long story short, they knew we were there and all of them split to go after me and mom. Anyone who even dared to look at mom died instantly while I had some enjoyment with my foes."

"Natsu always being the big shot." Mira noted making the rest of the girls laugh, including Wendy.

"As I was saying…" Natsu said with a big tick mark on his head. "After the devils were killed off, a loud roar echoed from above and I could see this big monster thing come at me."

"It was a griffon by the looks of it." Ophis said as she came out of nowhere which was very common for her to do.

"… The beast was very strong, it was made up of the same flames the others Wendy mentioned earlier, and it ended up having a major attack which if I wasn't me… Well let's just say if I wasn't a dragon, I would've died on the spot." The eyes of the crowd became glued as they waited for the next words to come out of his mouth.

"I ended up tossing the beast back into a few of the guards who went after Wendy." Natsu said as if it was a normal event, completely changing his earlier attitude.

Erza edged him, knowing full well that it wasn't the last part. A simple fight wouldn't have them so sad and angry… No, something must have happened that really tore into them. Yet instead of pushing to far, she let Natsu come out and say it by his own will.

"I had enough toying around and got serious. That beast I fought had wicked strength and could easily cause major trouble on a battlefield." He paused as it all replayed back in his head. "I saw my opening and took it. The flame monsters- knights whatever came back to life as they split from the last figure, only confirming the fact he was the leader." He looked over to Wendy and then continued.

"Seeing that I was still busy with the griffon and that Wendy was going to be attacked, I quit horsing around and grabbed the beast by its throat and went straight into the crowd of incoming enemies. Not giving them any time to recover, I released a roar that knocked them through the structure: hurtling them into the ground below till not even the ground below remained."

"Sounds like you went over kill on them…" Lisanna said which Rory wanted to hear more.

"I want to hear more! I never get to see my brother fight!" She started acting like a little grade schooler.

"Natsu really saved me…" Wendy said as she nursed her arm while trying to sit up.

"As I was saying: I followed up with a roar which removed all of them from existence… I have to apologize for destroying the place…" He said the last part in a quiet voice as he recalled the damage he'd done to the fortress. "Then I turned my attention to the lone figure who somehow recreated the very same creatures Wendy and the others just beat. However this time no one had the patience to deal another round with those losers."

"I asked then: 'Is that all?' Man I felt really cool saying that." Natsu started to act like a goof again. "But the thing is… When I heard his voice, I couldn't move. Something felt off about the whole situation. He knew my name despite us never meeting each other and acted as though we've met, but never face to face."

"So like he's seen you from a distance or something like that?" Cana asked as she put her mug down on a coffee table.

"Yeah. He then started to act as if he knew me... Like really knew me." Natsu didn't want to really say the next part since Wendy was there, but as for reassurance she grabbed his arm and nodded it was ok.

"Wanting blood for what he done to my family: I rushed at him with my fist covered in my usual red flames mixed with some lightning. I made contact with his head destroying his hood which wasn't like the black flames as it was a solid piece."

"The event created an explosion which covered the roof as we could then make out Natsu who jumped back from his attack- staring straight at his target who's red glowing eyes died down to glowing blue ones. As the smoke cleared so too did the identity of the male."

"It was a male known as Helios. My youngest son." Esdeath said as she walked into the room with seemingly good health despite her injury not that long ago.

Noticing a glare from her daughter, nephew and sister she waved them off.

"It's fine, I'm healing up fast. In the mean time continue." She took a seat off to the side of the bed in a lazy-boy.

"So this Helios guy is your-"

"He's my older brother…" Wendy cried as she put her head between her knees. "My own brother who's been dead for so long…"

X_X (Time skip- three days)

Ophis and Natsu were currently walking to the arena, talking about certain things… Mainly Ophis telling him all the goof-ups his father did/made, making the younger dragon laugh. They ended up walking into Wendy; well Ophis did since she didn't see the young dragoness since she was in her actual adult form and stood above the bluette.

"Sorry Wendy, didn't see you there my apologies."

"It's ok." She replied with a smile in her face as all and any traces of the horrid event disappeared as if it was only a dream.

"Yeah, mom is pretty tall…" Natsu said while trying to measure up to his mother who had about four inches on him: roughly six two.

"Don't worry Natsu, you're still growing… Same goes for you Wendy." Ophis looked at her niece who was currently grasping her breasts in sadness.

"Why does everyone have to point out I have small breasts…" she muttered while her bangs covered her eyes.

The three then walked together into the arena and took their seats in the stands, right next to Esdeath and Igneel who were laughing and smiling. All in all, they were enjoying their family time together and seemed to have no worries. Seeing his son: Igneel patted to the spot next to him, leaving enough room for him.

The boy sat down next to his father while his cousin, aunt and mother took the row behind them. Rory made her way up from the arena floor and popped her but right next to her mother and Wendy. The girls began talking about a few things and then moved on to who they think was going to win the contest.

"My guess is Erza. I could however see Mira coming up from behind as she is very good at reading the battle situation." Wendy said. "From what I can say though, Lisanna is no slouch and same for Cana. All in all, their real goal is to get a better handle on their developing strengths now that they've reached their final stage of their metamorphism."

"Yeah, they're finally developing well. Soon they'll be able to be on the same level as Kyouka and Sayla." Rory said sweating as she recalled how fast Sayla knocked her out. "Scary thoughts… Scary thoughts…"

It's been a little more than a fair amount of time since the previous event. Everyone retained the same joyous attitude and eventually started to hang out more in the arena. They spilt from going in pairs of 2v2 to the normal 1v1. Earlier today Ophis came up with an idea to boost everyone's spirits: a tournament. The prize was to have a one week trip somewhere of their choosing so they could relax and have some quality time with their family.

Yet what Ophis didn't tell the fairies is that it was really just so they could get a stronger grip on their powers they are developing as newly made dragonesses. Since Natsu unknowingly was going to be part of the prize do to the fact the girls love him to death, he was not allowed to enter the fight much to his displeasure.

"By the way, I have a feeling that your brother Zeref might be coming home soon…" Ophis said making Natsu turn around slowly.

"He... he is? Is big brother coming home?" he said in a very child like manner as tears began to roll down his cheeks.

Rory never saw her brother act like this so it was rather strange. She came to his side, shaking him a bit as trying to get him to snap out of it. With her success, Natsu patted her on the head and gave a reassuring smile. Ophis smiled as well and went to pat both her children on their heads.

"My, soon our family will be complete… Won't that be nice?" She said in a calm and gentle tone. "You'll need to get to know your other brother soon Rory. You should ask Natsu about him when you get the chance. I'm sure he'll fill you in." She turned to Natsu.

"By the way Natsu, your father told me Zeref had found a mate… Is she cute?"

"Very. I bet she can't wait to meet you mom."

"I can't wait." She smiled as she stood up to her full height and walked down to the arena, making her way to the center.

Everyone who was participating in the competition stopped for a bit since was still the practice before the games begin, staring at their 'mother' who looked out to all her 'daughters' with a kind and warm smile.

"Ok, this is how we are going to do this. As you all know this is going to be a nice friendly battle royale where you will be put into pairs and then be split into single matches. I don't think I need to remind you all but the victor of the matches will head to face the final contestant. Best of luck to all of you, and make sure to use your strengths well." She left a tin cup with straws inside with numbers on it. "Your partner for the first half will be selected via number. There are a set of double in here, whoever gets the same matching number will be a pair. As for the drawing of the matches it will be team one vs. team two, team three vs. team four. Everything else is self explanatory so that'll be all."

She then went back to her seat as the girls surrounded to cup and pulled their lucky numbers. The last two to pick were Wendy and Rory who also decided to participate, figuring they'd be good trainers for the others. As luck would have it the teams came out very well: Erza and Cana for team 1, Wendy and Rory for team 2, Lisanna and Mira as team 3 and lastly Sayla and Kyouka as team 4.

Natsu was sweating bullets, knowing full well that each team had a very strong base and had very little flaws. The battle was going to be intense, and he couldn't wait to see what the girls inherited from him. The girls all looked to each other before smiling. They turned to face Natsu and all together they said his catchphrase.

"I'm all fired up!"
