A/N: I don't own High School DXD or Fairy Tail, only my OC's. Warning: contains sexual references and activities. I have changed a few things… Made things fit more appropriately to my plot. You have been warned… again. This has/ will have some more reveals along with distasteful events that some may find 'disgusting' (your own opinion). However I'm not one to press any fetish of what not into a story for own amusement, but of fitting events.
*And if you didn't read the top part the first time, then please (not saying any names) don't leave a comment. No one wants to hear or read unwanted statements. *
This is a mature fanfic with crude humor and of course lemons. –This one is going to be very Violent! Lots of hard points that some may find uncomfortable such as overall 'targeting' against a certain OC, extremely distasteful sex scenes and such acts that may haunt people... I don't write happy stories, do your best to remember that.
Thanks again for all the reviews (positive only ones I care for), favorites and follows! (Sorry For the Wait!)

Chapter IX: This Kingdom
Takes place where we last left off (Author's POV) Kyoto Japan, Yokai capital
The group walked by seeing others trying to clean up the damage, and discovering body's of their loved ones. Hundreds of buildings and houses were destroyed. Humans, demons and yokai alike are all victims of the Hero clan's doing.
Rebecca and Kara said not a word, not having any actual tie into this bloodshed as they only arrived earlier to deal with the Dragneel's. Yet seeing the work of their ex-comrades was by no means a joyful moment.
"They killed nearly everyone… The men… the women and children too." A random yokai said as he was burying his family. "They slaughtered them like animals…"
No one could even begin to think about all the lives lost. No one wanted to go through such decay and horror of seeing soo many children dead. Regardless of them being yokai, demon or human. It was extremely rare for anyone to have made it through without any losses, only Yasaka and Jenna could at least say it. Their kids and their friends however lost soo much…
Natsu felt out of place, possibly more so then the two death goddesses behind him. He sighed and turned away, allowing his family to deal with their sorrow as they wished. Ophis came over, not surprising Natsu in the slightest that she made her presence known.
She looked at her son, wondering how well he was coping with this event. He seemed rather strong and able to deal with it, but she knew he was always finding something that related back to his own dark past. In all honesty, he had done far worse damage than this to his own people and not even centuries later has the tail of E.N.D. faded from Earthland. Even his ex-guild mates knew of his brother Zeref's doings and the battle with Tartaros was something no one was going to forget.
"You okay…" Ophis asked, looking up at her child.
"Yeah… I'm ok. Trying to calm down and relax a bit… So what's up mum?" Natsu asked, wondering why his mother was here but more to get himself onto a different topic rather than his own.
Ophis just sighed and then proceeded to walk over to her grandkids. Not one of them had a dry face. Each one was nearly over taken by their emotions, what else was there to suspect from the young that just lost their best friends? With tombstones and a quick shrine put together from rumble and wood, the three children said good bye to their friends for the last time. Each child went to a tombstone and carved out the person's name with their finger. Once finished they got to their feet and said their silent prayers.
"What do you want to do now Natsu?" Jenna asked as she herself wanted guidance.
"Tell us what you want to do Natsu. We'll do whatever you want." Yasaka leaned up to her mate. "Sightseeing, trying any places that haven't been destroyed… I know you love food."
Everyone knows by now the ultimate way to ever grab Natsu's attention, was to go for his stomach. Yet it of course was to be suspected that not even one restaurant was open nor were there any that escaped the devastation from the other night. The only place they could get food now was by going back home. That or going to another town in search of a diner. Not feeling the want to even stay here in Japan, Natsu sighed and opened a portal back home for himself and the others, taking the two death goddesses with them.
His action made his mother realise he did so without much effort, and yet didn't recall him being able to do so freely. She knew he couldn't do it before, maybe he's starting to expand more to be like his parents… Everyday, Natsu grew stronger. She couldn't help but admire her son's growth, his unbounded will that turns what feels like Fate in motion. She'd have to teach him how to make portals to this world, or maybe this was evidence he already got the hang of it?
X_X (Now at the Dragneel's residence)
The very moment Natsu reappeared back home, he was tackled by Rory who was pouting with a dark aura emanating around her. Slightly worried for his own safety, Natsu tried to put up some defense but to no avail. Rory's death grip had her older brother locked and sealed. Losing consciousness even though it was comical, Natsu finally broke his sister's grip thanks to her getting worried.
The comical routine between the two siblings was always a hilarious moment. The fairies came up from behind Rory with honest smiles on their faces, glad to see everyone came home safely. Cana for once didn't have a bottle in her hand which only could lead to one thing, and Natsu couldn't wait much longer either as the scent from his mates made his head spin.
Once back up on his feet, Natsu motioned for his children to come closer to him as he planned to finish the ritual. When the moment arose, Natsu whispered into Luna and Kunou's ears something that made them straighten up fast and get red in the face. With no time to waste, the two sisters grabbed their little brother by his arms and ran into their shared room.
Jenna and Yasaka began laughing as they knew exactly awaited Mikey. As for the fairies they had the wrong idea which the mothers quickly defended their children. The two Death goddesses just seemed out of place and had no idea what to do. The friendly atmosphere around them was unlike anything they've ever experienced in their long lives.
"Hey, you two don't mind staying around for a bit. I have to finish up and then we can get back to our earlier discussion. Till then, relax and have a tour if you want. Chances are you'll be staying around for a while." Natsu smiled at them, which actually lifted up their spirits as they now may have found a leader to follow.
Keeping true to his word, Natsu went off to his children to finish what he promised. In the meantime Rory asked Jenna and Yasaka the story behind the two new females. Jenna looked to Yasaka who just shoved her on as she left the answer up to her, speeding away like a criminal from the law. Sighing Jenna decided to answer her younger sister's question much to her dismay.
"They were the ones that attacked us on our way to pay our respects to Kunou and Luna's friends. They went straight for Mikey when Natsu wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with our son." The moment she said 'our son' made her heart beat faster than nearly ever before and she was so thrilled.
"Oh, so Natsu-nii decided to form a family blood bond. That's sweet. Always believed that Natsu-nii had a big heart!" Rory smiled with glee, only to switch back to her normal static expressionless face, inherited from her beloved mother.
"So, those two over there hurt lil' Mikey?" Rory started to growl: the ground below her feet ripping apart as it slowly disintegrated into nothingness. The same black flames coming from the pinkette scared the two death goddesses that were already a witness to their power.
"Yeah… But Natsu for some reason decided to let them live since now even their own lovely people want them dead for failing to kill us." Jenna said it as though it was a constant run of the mill answer and event which at this point seems very true.
This didn't calm Rory down much to no one's surprise. She decided to walk past Jenna who wouldn't mind letting the two Death Goddesses face their complete extinction at the hands of Rory. Once right into their faces Rory made it quite clear that what she was about to say was to be heard loud and clear. There was to be no clarification, no repeats.
"You two are here only because my brother allows it. Make no mistake that even for a moment if I get the desire to kill you, I will." She paused, looking over to see Zeref along with Mavis looking over the group from the actual housing structure. "Consider your lives spared for the moment." She growled even further, her canines showing as she looked ready to wipe out an entire continent.
Walking away from the two prisoners, she made her way towards the arena to let off some steam. However in a means to prove a point: just by walking passed a tree towards said arena, it bursted into black flames and then disintegrated into nothingness moments after a single glance. Rory wasn't kidding when she made her statement. The other dragoness that witnessed the event even wanted more action but calmed down in order to seem neutral.
Jenna led the way for the two death goddesses who she insisted keep up with her pace otherwise they might end up getting lost. The first gate or rather outer wall came up fast and they continued inward for a few minutes. Seeing some trees blooming at an endless rate was a beautiful sight that the two death goddesses rarely see. In their line of work, nothing but merciless death and sadness ruled their everyday lives. Only being here for a little more than half an hour, they could truly see the difference life can offer.
Noticing how the new comers are distracted and taking everything in, Jenna only puffed out her cheeks as she just wanted to get this tour over with and hopefully have another go at them. After an easy hour of just getting around the outside of the main structure, they finally made it inside and to the first floor. There the living rooms along with the indoor hot-springs are located along with the kitchen and dining hall. The second along with the third floor are living quarters along with another large bathing area and even a larger family room mixed in with a library.
"This place is really huge…" The two sisters said in unison.
Taking what right she had as a member of the family, Jenna offered the two women the choice of going up to the second floor or staying on the third in the spare rooms that were available. Blown out of the water with hearing that, the two death goddesses had to blink a few times and shake their heads as if they had their ears clogged.
"Did you just say…" Rebecca started.
"..That we have a choice of where we'd like to live? You're giving us the option of our own leisure?" Kara continued.
They were shocked, but Jenna nodded. That was their choice to make. Jenna decided to make their decision for them, telling them to hurry the hell up because she was already at her limit dealing with them. So, they took to the second floor, taking a room with two beds and a shared bathroom which included a tub and shower both with more than enough room for four fully grown adults to use with enough free space without rubbing up against each other.
Glad to see that the two goddesses had made it inside, Jenna told them she did her part, and that they could take a bath if they wanted. On her way back to the stairs, Jenna heard both death goddesses say their thanks with some sorrow masking their voices. Sighing Jenna kept walking and made her way to see her mate and kids.
"I guess we should start off with taking a bath…" Kara began, worried still that she felt completely lost and hopeless.
Sharing her sister's feelings, Rebecca pulled her sister in for a hug, not really finding anything else that could comfort them now. Taking off their clothes, they realized that they had no spare clothing here and unlike their hosts didn't have any power to create some other than their normal gothic attire which wasn't that nice to look at, or rather wasn't something one would find appropriate to show others.
"Guess we don't got much to work with… Well I guess we should hurry and get-"
"-Excuse me, I brought some clothing that you two may have once you finish your bath." Lisanna said, having a delightful and cheerful smile on her face.
Right behind her was Cana and Mirajane. Cana of course was carrying a barrel of what her father Igneel claimed to be one of the best Rums in all of existence. Mira on the other hand was wearing a towel around herself, ready to go to the actual bath house with her sisters.
"You know what, why don't you two join us in the bath? Come it'll be fine." Lisana told them, cheerful to have the opportunity to make more friends and also make the new girls feel safe welcome to their new home, even if it may not be permanent depending how Natsu and the rest of the family feels.
"Yeah, we can even have some of this delicious rum. Come, we'll have some fun and we can get to know each other." Cana said to the older women who just kept blinking.
"Don't worry, we might not be on the best of terms currently, but nothing says that we can't work on it. If one thing is for sure, Natsu and our family are very kind and compassionate. As long as you're sorry for what you did to little Mikey we can become friends." Mira smiled, about to introduce herself to the other pair of sisters.
"I'm Mirajane, and this is Lisanna and Cana." The three Dragneels respectively smiled when their name was mentioned.
Cana was the first one to leave, already having the barrel as her hostage. Lisanna grabbed Rebecca and Mira dragged Kara all the way to the steaming water. Even though the two death goddesses tried to resist, the Dragneel's proved to be too stubborn.
The once human females had all the traits that their mate gave them once they became his and his alone. So the three dragonesses had strength to boot, yet not even close to being on par with any of the older females in the Dragneel family. If it came down from an actual power chart ranking in the family, then it would be easy to see who was at the top.
Without a doubt to any of Natsu's mates, Igneel and Ophis reigned at the top. From what Natsu told them, Zeref isn't much of a fighter and tends to yield if the fight isn't serious. From there Natsu would easily say his Aunt, himself or Zeref, Sayla and Kyouka, with both Jenna and Yasaka following close behind. Wendy would be next, then his little sister Rory, followed up by what Zeref claims Mavis to be. No one doubted the guild founder as she was indeed immensely powerful.
The Fairy's came last of course, simply because they're human by birth and dragon by blood. Eventually they too will reach higher levels just like Mavis. Erza on the other hand seems to be experiencing some slight amount of pain that Natsu was going to be conversing with her later about. Most likely to the fact her father was indeed a dragon and *her mother a turned one*. No doubt that explained how she was able to overcome every challenge thrown her way.
X_X (Three Hours later)
Natsu finished the blood pact with the help of his two daughters so now Mikey had their bloodline within him. The young boy was so happy that the tears wouldn't stop rolling down his cheeks. Luckily his older sisters took care of him as they went to go lay down in a private green room in their feral forms. With the moon above on the warm night, the three of them took to resting under a tree.
Off to the side their parents looked on impressed and proud that their children are so strong. They were already very mature for their age and handled the recent events better than what their seniors would have.
"They look so peaceful. I got to say the girls look just like you two when we were their age." Natsu said, not taking his eyes off his three kids.
Jenna and Yasaka remained silent as moments like these a rare delicacy in times of war. With their family now complete, both of them thought about leaving the Yokai world behind and just staying here with their family. However both of them needed to exact revenge on those who spat on their names and hurt those they were bound to protect. If what the two death goddesses said was true, then there are many Gods and beings alike that want to rid them and their family from this world.
That also made a question pop up in both their minds in regards to their mate. Natsu seems to have matured greatly over these past centuries along with some age and wisdom to go along with it. He was very much the same Natsu they fell in love with that much is for certain, but something inside him changed and to put it frankly they were scared of it.
He handled the Death god earlier like a mere rag doll, one that he quickly grew tired with and decided to eradicate. His words… His tone… His face… All showed a monster. They knew fair and well that if it came to a show down between all the gods in this world against Natsu: Natsu would win with no restraints. The same could be said about his brother and parents. You could even throw most of the Satan's of old into the fight as well and the end result would only be delayed a mere moment.
Right behind them Igneel decided to pay them a quick check up. The mighty king surprised his oldest daughters who were more than happy to see him as they jumped up into his large arms. Natsu smiled as he was happy to see nothing's changed with his family.
"So how'd it go?" Igneel said as he put his daughters down. "I can feel the pressure coming off the three of them… Mikey seems to be quite the strong little lad. For him to be able to handle the blood pact… He will become a great king someday." Natsu nodded and grinned.
"Yeah. Little man is quite strong for his age. He must have had some strong parents." He took a pause before looking at his two mates. "Hey, does this world work the same as ours in the terms of the afterlife?"
Jenna and Yasaka paused their joy for a moment and took a moment to think it over. Both of them frowned though, already knowing what Natsu was on about. Their mate… Was something else.
"Those that die and head to the afterlife are only for mortals. Humans and animals are capable, but anyone else is just gone forever. Without a doubt those Death gods you brought back here know of The Well's location." Yasaka began.
"Their souls however remain in that endless pit of Hades in purgatory." Ophis said as she walked in from behind her husband in her actual adult form. "That goes for gods and demons alike." She paused, looking over at her grandkids with a smile. "If you were thinking about bringing anyone back out from there, you'd have to face Hades himself. Yet before you even get to him, his endless army of specters and mortal souls guard his nearly endless castle." She flicked Natsu in the nose and pouted. "You'd also get lost trying to find your way around the place without an escort." She paused for a moment, her bangs covering her face.
"Surely if you were planning something soo fun you'd tell your mother." She began pulling at his cheeks in a comical fashion.
Even the normally cold hearted and emotionless woman that the other factions know of, was far from their comprehension. The mother of the young pinkette loved teasing him which only further proved he was indeed her son. Yet there was a deeper point to why Ophis actually wanted to go with Natsu to see Hades. Something was biting at her and the fact Natsu even brought up this all too convenient.
"Sorry mum…Pweseee let go…" Natsu tried to bargain with his mother who just grew tired of the little amount of effort Natsu tried to resist. She wanted more from him, and whatever he was putting out now seemed to bother him more so than an actual joke. He was hurting inside and she knew it.
Sighing Ophis took a few steps back and looked at her son who was trying hard to put on a genuine smile. She knew where he was going. There would be major reparations from every single step forward. But in all honesty, he was more than ok with that. He had support from his loved ones unconditionally and without delay.
As luck would have it, with two Death Goddesses as escorts, Natsu would be able to tour around Hades' domain without any restrictions. Granted he will be opposed by the home team, but that was to be expected. Ophis was too excited that she couldn't help but let some flames dance around her form.
"Yay! I'm ready, hurry and get those two Death Gods you brought back. Oh, I'll see if Rory would want to join too. I know she'll want to let some fire out." Ophis once more broke her character as she got into a hyper frenzy about her trip she just took from Natsu's words.
Igneel just sighed and went to go sit down next to his grandkids under the tree. He waved at his mate and kids as he leaned back and closed his eyes. At his age, he'd rather just let his wife do what she wanted and not interfere. A lesson most husbands knew very well.
"I'm not going to get into this one…" Igneel just wanted to sit back and let the fire roam.
The group then moved out, running into Rory who just so happened to be letting off some steam in the arena. Whether it be blowing craters into the ground or releasing powerful vortex's of flames into the air, the young dragoness had more anger than one could even believe. Without a doubt a trait she and her brothers inherited from their parents mutually. The heat in the arena was no joke which the natural fire breathers welcomed with much delight.
The fact that she was going at it with no reserve was clear since her body was covered in scales from around her eyes to down her toes. Her horns were fully sprouted and curved in ready to intimidate her foes. Her clothes were torn to shreds, leaving nothing to the imagination. She wanted more than just a fight… She wanted to kill something.
Smiling: Natsu whistled and watched as his baby sister stopped in mid air and turned around to face him on the ground below. She slowed down her panting and calmed down just before coming to the ground and then bursting into a mad sprint at her beloved brother.
He welcomed her full heartedly. The smile he gave her was genuine and both of them shared the trademark Dragneel grin.
"Hi Natsu-nii!" Rory squeezed waiting for him to squeeze back which he did without any delay.
"You really like speaking Japanese ehh?" Natsu teased, making the girl blush.
It seemed from what Ophis could tell that his previous state was being healed. Just by being around Rory seemed to make Natsu's dark past fade away, even more so than the other girls in his harem. Ophis could see that Rory happened to be different from the other girls: maybe because of their exact same DNA, being siblings or the fact she just reminded him of himself. A mother always knows how her children feel and their secrets. Yet her children hid nothing from her simply because she already knew everything they'd ever think. At least she makes them believe that…
Both Rory and Natsu were hotheads. Their traits and similarities are down to nearly everything except their favorite food differed. For Rory, her favorite is steak. For Natsu, pork chops. They had a funny discussion about food the other day which still remains clear as day as the humor was indeed soaring. Returning to her normal state, Rory looked up once more into her lovers eyes which seemed to be hiding something which even she could tell.
Deciding not to push the issue and to discuss it later, the younger dragon sighed and shrugged it off with a warm smile.
"Soo Rory, up to going on a little trip somewhere with us?" Natsu asked as he combed her hair with his fingers, making her blush. "We're going to go pay Hades a visit."
"That sounds awesome!" Rory bounced out of her brother's grip, more than excited. "Hades rules the underworld without question. His endless armies… That's just what I need to relieve some of this pent up anger!"
Perhaps she was over exaggerating… True Mikey was alive and well, but that didn't change the fact that he was signaled out and attacked by the very same people who they're now housing. The only blessing the two death goddesses have truly received from this whole event was the fact of Natsu's kindness and that Rory wasn't there to witness the event transpire.
"We should hurry this up. Don't want to waste too much time before getting food later back at the diner." Ophis said as she came to her daughter's side, fresh clothes in hand she made with a snap on her fingers. "Better cover up before we leave. Don't want your brother to become a killing machine." It took a moment for Rory to understand what her mother meant, but the very moment it came to her she turned bright red.
She hurried up and changed clothes right on the spot, not worrying about her mother or brother seeing her nude as it wasn't anything new. With a quick pat and dusting, she was ready to go in her usual favorite Gothic-Lolita outfit. Next thing they knew it, the three of them went to go pay a certain two death goddesses a visit.
With a knock on the door, Ophis walked in followed by Natsu and Rory. Kara and Rebecca awaited their trail, figuring this was their time to continue from when they last left off as their only means to speak their truth. The sisters had no worries however that much Ophis assured them. With the hot air cleared in the room, they had their stress levels drop to somewhat manageable levels.
"So, you want us to continue from before?" Kara asked, not sure if to continue or to start over from the beginning.
"Well actually, we came up with an ultimatum. Would you care to hear it?" Ophis asked the younger females, both of which nodded a few moments later. "Good. We've come to a conclusion that may benefit both our parties."
"We know of the circumstances you're in and that the moment you leave here you'd be hunted for the rest of your lives…" Natsu began. "So here's the deal. We'll forgive our past occurrence in return for you giving up the details about this 'Family' and then allow you to keep your residency here. The same will go out to your two daughters if all goes well."
His words melted their hearts and they just couldn't believe it. Their past actions and crimes against the Dragneel house were to be forgiven and they themselves, given residency here with them. It was a win-win deal. No way would they dare refuse this very humbling offer.
They continued to describe a few of the figure heads that are in charge of the family; each one a name that Natsu seemed to either know or found to have similarities to some people from his past. Neither Rebecca nor Kara knew the names of those that were brought from Natsu's world other than Helios. However from what they could say, Helios was in the same bracket as his fellow beings from Earthland.
"There's about four gods that have the most grip on the Family. Each one of them are considered the next in line to rule in place of our late founder." Rebecca started.
"None of them could even lift a candle to him…" Kara mumbled under her breath, meaning every single word. Rebecca then continued.
"Yeah… But he isn't here anymore. So now as I was saying, the Family has very strong ties to every faction there is. From the humans, to the yokai here in Japan. Even gods that have long since been forgotten by man are among the ranks." She paused thinking about how everything first started.
"When the Family was under our founder's leadership, it was very much like an actual family. We all joined the group as very young gods and demons, just earning our stripes in this world. None of the current alliances or figure heads in the family where there from the start. Each one of them has earned the respect of our late founder whom they all grouped together to kill many centuries later."
This was fine and dandy to listen to, but Natsu was honestly growing impatient. Yet he knew he had to squeeze every last bit. Ophis just sighed, waiting for the good part to actually come out.
"After just a few centuries, and the arrival of those from your world did the family completely change. We became brutal. The friendly bond we had with the other factions and deities were crushed as we removed those who we saw as a barrier in our plan. Hundreds of demons died as we decided to purge the weakest party first. Soon we placed the blame onto the angels and God himself as the great war soon took place."
Ophis had arrived well before the great war and well before humanity even began their own society. She remembers it all clearly, all the deaths of the innocent caused by corrupt gobblers and filth. Even though her sister came with her to this dimension, neither one of them spoke much to those other than themselves. Unlike her younger sister, Ophis tended to stay in her own dimensional plane. Where she could have her daughter grow up under her watch and away from all the unneeded attention from the outsiders.
By the time Igneel arrived and told her what happened to her baby boy she just lost it. Her poor Natsu had done the unforgivable, he killed his friends and their people. Her younger brother Acnologia couldn't have been in more glee. Natsu was on the verge of becoming just like his uncle, if not stopped by his father it was without a doubt that the dragon race and even the human one would have been extinguished. Yet the dragon race was very much brought to its extinction no thanks to the constant civil wars, Dragon King Festival and Acnologia being the power craving tyrant the world feared.
"Soon once the three factions allied themselves into a little cease fire treaty, they then went to deal with the two twin Heavenly dragons. Yet among our own ranks a rumor went around from those who we brought into our universe… That the most powerful being in our own universe was equal to if not lacking little to the true dragon of dragons." Kara paused, looking at Ophis.
"It was never known that you weren't already part of our universe. We all thought you just existed along with DxD. Tales of your existence go as far back as his does, so you had to have been here for millions of years."
"Well yes and no to that. True I've been known to your universe for millions years, but I've only kept my presence in my own personal plane. Which you now live in." Ophis paused, going to explain a little more than request the two sisters to continue about their so called 'family'.
"As you may know, time does not accelerate here unless I wish it. One day here could equal well over a hundred years in your own world and same the other way around. As for myself, I have been here on a few occasions well before me and my mate got married. Eventually we both came here as a means to get away from our world. Your 'DnD' ended up insulting Igneel back then and it did not end up well for him, hence why he keeps to himself now." Ophis smiled as she recalled the fight which lasted a few days. "Only when I first discovered-. Never mind, that's for a later time. Anyway we have a schedule, please hurry with the rest about your clan." Ophis cut herself short, not in the mood to tell others about her magnificent power which can get really boring telling it as much as she has.
Kara then continued: stating that once there were around seven million humans devoted to their secret faction that was when they put things in motion. With more pawns on the field with an increasing growth rate and replacements, covering the globe with ease from the shadows. True they'd never have the manpower or even the strength to take heaven on directly with all the archangels, but after the fall of God and Michael being preoccupied taking his place… No time could be better to strike heaven.
Even Hell had been weakened greatly since the time of its first rulers passing. The new Satans are indeed powerful even though none of them have a direct blood line to a previous Satan or devil King. Natsu of which already assumed so since his first run in with devils seemed to be a joke rather than an actual threat. Not that the devils were ever put into a life or death situation before, but even at their max potential they wouldn't stand a chance.
"One of the other new members, a male around the same build as Lord Helios, is to be viewed and treated as the second in command of the Family. None of us, my sister, my daughters or myself know truly how powerful he is, but there's a good chance being the fact he's from your world as well he might be equal to you, Natsu-san." Rebecca stated.
Her words made the others raise an eyebrow. Her sister admitted it, and most certainly Crystal and Mina weren't in the loop. Right now that was all that worried the older death goddesses. They had to hurry up, finish this request up and hopefully get the twins to safety.
"Well, glad to hear I'll be able to take my anger out on someone." Natsu sighed, letting some fire come out the sides of his mouth. "Before we rush Hades' den, do you know where your two girls are?" His attitude changed into a kind and carrying one.
"They should be on the run, if they returned to the family, they'll be killed." Kara stated bluntly, yet with some anger being held back.
"We had some personal areas and retreats around the world we'd spend some of our free time at. I would best say that would be the first place to look."
"Then we will leave now." Natsu stated, looking towards his mother. "We'll be out for a bit-" he was stopped mid sentence by his mother who raised her palm.
"We will go, you need to go talk to Erza." Her words sounded sweet yet firm.
Natsu blinked, nearly forgetting what his brother mentioned before. He made a solid vow to talk to his mate, and that was something he'd never break. Without saying another word he walked out of the room, leaving his sister, mother and the two death goddesses to do their thing. The sound of a portal opening in the room and quickly closing as they had left on their quest.
Searching around the home, Natsu was surprised not to see Erza anywhere as though she was avoiding him on purpose. She wasn't in any of the baths, nor was she in her room or the arena. bringing his hand through his hair, he sighed once again. Hopping she wasn't trying to avoid him. He made his way to his own room, when at the door he got a quick scent of his mate.
Finding her in her nude form on his bed, her legs pulled up to her chest. She had her eyes covered by her bangs, tears evident running down her cheeks and onto her legs. Natsu shut the door behind him and moved to his bed, he came down onto his knees before Erza. he looked up at her, his saddened look leaving Erza to question his reasoning, but was quickly answered.
"I've made a huge error. My lapse in judgement has done you wrong and I've scared you." He bowed his head for a moment. "I promised I had something to tell you, so please allow me to say my peace." He looked back up at her, waiting for her to acknowledge him.
"Natsu… It hurts… All of it hurts." Around her eyes, her red scales were breaking through her skin, blood starting to mix in with her tears.
"I know. I know…" He pulled her naked form into his. "I need to tell you the truth about your origins." He said, bringing a hand to her face. "You were always a dragon Erza, your mother casted a spell on you which has started breaking once I turned you into my mate." He said, not getting any reaction from the redhead. "Your mother casted the spell on you centuries ago, right before the great tragedy our-my uncle brought to the world." He tried to catch himself, failing to do so.
"I-I…" She shaked, her one eye shining bright gold as the same as Natsu's.
"In order to prevent you from becoming a direct target from Acknologia, she casted a forbidden spell on you which left you as a human child. An infant which held the blood and power of a dragon inside." He told her once more as she already heard this much.
No words came from Erza, her body wouldn't lighten up on the pain she was receiving. Her feet began to start turning more reptilian like, scales covering up every inch of her body up to her knees. Her skin was breaking apart fastly, as she began losing her strength. Her level of pain tolerance could barely continue as it was already being stressed.
Fastly thinking, Natsu wrapped his arms around Erza and rushed outside, and began running a large distance from the estate. Once a good five miles away from the arena behind their home, he placed her down gently. He burned his clothes away quickly and began to let out a roar which was cut short as if he spoke someone's name alone. Within a matter of seconds Kyouka arrived with a stern look on her face.
Without needing to be told anything, she came over to Erza and begun fondling her breasts. Quickly seals began to form from the contact and broke apart. With each one breaking the pain subsided a bit.
"I'm breaking the limiters placed on your body. Along with increasing your pain tolerance." She said while freezing noticing who these spells belonged to. She finished up her work and then got up for a moment to talk to Natsu. He nodded his head in understanding, and allowed her to speak her mind.
"Well I didn't expect this, but now that I look at you more clearly, the more I notice our similarities. Not to mention you look like her…" Kyouka removed her clothing via green flames. "Erza scarlet.. My desire to harm you before seems to have had a higher reasoning. We happen to have the same mother. And most likely Belserion, our father." She said, her eyes looking down at her softly, tears forming with no chance of stopping.
"Your father died long ago, but your mother is still alive." Natsu said Bringing them all into a hug. "She's alive and upon your own request I shall have my brother bring her here."
"This is too sudden, Natsu please explain slowly." Erza said, still in tons of pain as the last bits of her skin began to break off, wings slowly breaking free from her back.
"Erza, you're a full blooded dragon. Your family stands before you, Kyouka here is your older sister." Kyouka kept her arms to her chest as her heart began to ache.
"I never knew what happened to my mother once I 'died'. To find out she had another child this whole time, one that I harmed and tortured is unforgivable." Kyouka bit down on her lip, blood staining her mouth and dripping to the ground below their feet.
"Your body has begun its first full transformation. You will take form into your dragon body as a means to cope with your sudden strength and magic. Normally this only happens to dragon slayers who've reached the final stage of their magic, but since you never used any of your hidden magic, it's all coming loose now."
"We will be here for you Erza, I will never leave your side from this moment on." Kyouka stated as she began to change into her dragon form.
Her large frame was sleek and thin in areas showing the point she was a dragoness, and Natsu couldn't help but enjoy the view but quickly dismissed any lewd ideas. Instead he turned all attention to Erza and held her hand firmly.
"I'll be here for you Erza, don't be afraid of squeezing my han-!?" He was caught off guard as Erza broke his hand completely without any realization. Her form began growing rapidly and she got onto all fours, The ground below her started encaving upon her weight gain and with a painful roar, she broke into her final form.
Going back on her hind legs, she let out a roar which broke the clouds and knocked down the trees around the group for a good mile radius. Standing tall, she turned her attention to her new sister who stood straight and just a head taller than her. Their scars carried over into these forms, and their hair was completely gone. Their chests were abundantly large, and their heights well over seventy feet on all fours.
X_X (Warning: Lemon will be in dragon form: skip to next Bold mark-Time X_X )
Looking down at Natsu, Erza let out a snarl and began to lower her head to his level. Her snout being much larger than her mate left her with many questions which she couldn't still grasp a hold of. However before she even tried to speak, her basic dragon instincts kicked in and she grasped her mate and placed him at her crotches entrance. Before Natsu could break free, he went right on inside as Erza let out a moan, which got her sister to start laughing.
Their mate ended up inside Erza as a toy which made the elder female lose her focus for a bit as she tried to gain control of her humor. Fortunately for Natsu's sake, she did and as Erza was in no position to fight back, Kyouka put her on her back and pulled Natsu out.
Covered in her juices, Erza managed to let out a 'sorry', just to witness her older sister lick Natsu completely clean. Kyouka left off a mark, noting that they both tasted good.
"Alright!'' Natsu shouted. Not being a fan of being a toy for his mates, let alone hand held by them, he jumped from Kyoukja's palm and began to grow into his dragon body. His form was very similar to Igneel's, however he had his own scars, and Natsu had his wings lined among the cresses with black scales along with around his legs by his waistline and joints. His Golden eyes shined brightly as he stretched his head up fully, being a good three heads taller than Kyouka.
His new form, well new form to Erza took her heart for a race. Her hormones were begging to mate with the male and Natsu could tell. Without any more delay, the three dragons began their fun, with Natsu quickly dominating the two females. He wouldn't let up after the stunt Erza pulled, even if she couldn't control the urge. Oh he was going to get even, might even think about returning the favor once she would revert to her humanoid body. Just thinking of having her held up against him was enough to have him force his member deep within her.
Biting down on her neck, Natsu made eye contact with Kyouka who was making her way to the back door. Within a moment she began having her tongue go up and down Natsu's member as it went in and out of Erza. The mixture of their taste was enough for Kyouka as she began to relieve herself.
They kept at this for a few hours, switching places along with two two females having Natsu take turns eating them out or fucking them. After this event Kyouka swore she was going to get pregnant.
X_X (New lemon-two hours later)
Natsu and his two mates turned back to their human forms. Erza grasped Natsu in a tight hug as he patted her on the back and combed her hair. Breaking free, he kissed her on the lips.
"Well, we should continue where we left off."
"Alright… I'm ready, I think." Erza grasped herself as she waited for Natsu to continue.
"Well, I don't know too much about your father, however I do know your mother is the current ruler of the Alvarez Empire. She took command upon the request of Zeref's leave, however he left her with a possibility."
"My mother…?"
"She can come here upon your request, and we can leave the empire ruled by another Spirgan member." Natsu said, not caring about the empire one bit. "It's all up to you."
"I would like to see my mother… But I don't think I'm ready just yet." Erza said as Kyouka pulled her in from the side. "I'm sorry Kyouka… I don't know how you feel about this but-"
"Call me Onee-chan." Kyouka squeezed. Her sudden statement caught the redhead who proceeded to blush madly. "Say it." Kyouka repeated till Erza gave in, much to her embarrassment.
"Onee-chan." Her words nearly made Kyouka squeeze her till she passed out.
"Ok, well then. I'll leave the choice to you two to discuss." Natsu said with a gentle smile. "Oh and Erza," he got her to look him in the eyes. "If you ever pull a stunt like that one again… I'll make sure to get even." Natsu said as he got hard again.
"What- but I" Erza couldn't help but panic in worry.
"He means he'll use you against his member." Kyouka stated. "I kinda want to see that happen too." She licked her lips. Whatever fantasies she was imagining Erza shuddered at the thought.
The teasing wouldn't end there, but they got back on subject.
"Mother is a dragon slayer, now a turned dragon. Dad was a Dragon king, didn't get along so much with Igneel. Hence why I'm considered a half breed. Sayla's mother is our mothers sister so we're all connected." Kyouka lied which Natsu noticed, knowing why she did.
Thinking to himself, despite being cousins- he wasn't the older sibling here. Kyouka knows well about her mother and father, but did not want to admit that she too was blood related to the black dragon that she once trained under like a second father. The fact of everything was, Ophis and Irene were half sisters through their dad, and Acnologia hated the fact their dad had a second mate.
Ophis was the oldest out of her siblings along with the most powerful by a very large margin. Acnologia came second and as the only son. Third was Wendy's mother Esdeath, then Irene and last the youngest of them all Anna. So in truth, Ophis and her son lied to the others about how large the family tree is because of even more dark secrets buried underneath that are slowly to be revealed against their will.
"So even Sayla is our cousin… Anyone else I should know of…?"
"Yes, however we'll have to tell you later. I for one wasn't liked by father when I declared my love for Natsu. Our mother didn't do much but keep him at bay and allowed me to live with Natsu. I was grateful Sayla was there as well. Anyway, back to what you were on about Natsu."
"Well, I gave you the cards." Natsu opened his palms. "Both of you are of a slayer and a dragon king, thus your blood line isn't far off my own. You two, Rory, Wendy and Sayla will end up very close to my mother one day, and I assure you she wants the competition." Natsu laughed before starting to get the chills. The fact he just lied again, and the fact that these women will be very powerful to the point they'd be tough to manage…
But then his demeanor changed. Just thinking about how much his mother likes fighting, having more females that are that powerful around might be the end of him. The world would never be able to handle them, and he was positively excited for that day to come.
"So what's our relation to Sayla?" Erza asked. "You two were very close I recall, and still are now. So I hope she'll take acceptance to me-"
"She's my best friend and we've always been on good terms. Our mothers are sisters afterall." Kyouka stated. "Her mother however died by her husband's hands, when he first began his rampage." The mere mention of Acknologia again just made Natsu grit his teeth and the girls tighten their grips. That part was true though, Acknologia did in fact kill his mate, Seliah's mother.
The three of them remained silent for a bit, Kyouka holding her sister close in a hug as tears rolled down her cheeks. Natsu snapped a portal open and proceeded to hand the pair new clothes as his own came back via flames. They made their way back home, running into Sayla who was waiting for them. Her arms crossed under her chest as she had a rather distant stare.
"Whats up Seilah?" Natsu asked his cousin, who just took a sigh. "Something a matter?"
"You changed didn't you…" She mumbled, her bangs covering her face. "You had changed and I didn't see it happen!" She pouted as she turned away from the male, making headway to the building. Turning around on her heels, she took a quick sniff and growled back at the male.
"Now before you say anyth-!" Natsu was cut off as Seilah tackled him to the ground. Her teeth showing, a fire lit at the back of her throat.
"Now come on Sayla, we need some family time here." Kyoukla said, motioning to Erza. "My little sister here had her first full change. It's time for celebration." She smiled.
Seilah swallowed her flames. Gave Nastu a glare, before moving in for a nibble on his neck. Leaving him with a few bites, a few licks, and a kiss on the lips as she got up off of him. She dusted herself off and offered to help Carry Erza who was still in some amounts of pain and very tired. The three females left Natsu outside as he just laid there on the ground contemplating the past events that went on these few days.
Running a hand through his hair, he sighed. He felt like a fool. He felt weak, not only in physical strength but of mind and heart. He let Mikey get hurt the other day, he didn't pick up on Erza's blood origins, and he didn't provide Wendy someone to lean on as she coped with the supposed return of her brother and him attacking their mother.
Yet here he was. Acting like his normal self. Nothing like a proper father, nor that of a mate or son. How did his family view him right now? Was he good enough for them..? He felt very negative, and he knew his parents would've acted differently towards their new captives.
He closed his eyes, taking some time to just let his mind ease up. This plane his mother created was something else. It felt as real as can be, the cool wind grazing his body and giving him a comforting feeling. Not knowing how long its been since he started this little therapy, he figured his mother and sister left with Kara and her sister. Erza, Kyouka and Seilah were most likely in one of their rooms laying down on the bed, or in the baths just relaxing.
His mind again went back to Wendy and his aunt. The two of them have been doing some more bonding and he just knew the next time he saw them, they'd be different. As if he saw the future, Wendy came by, placing her feet on the sides on nastu's head, looking down at him. She had changed.
"Hey Natsu." She said quietly. "You feeling alright..?" She asked, not caring the fact he had a perfect view of her legs and the rest of her body which was covered up in a relaxed school girls sailor outfit.
"I like your outfit, looks really nice on you." He said bluntly, taking in the view. "Really enjoy those thigh highs…" He started to lick his gums on the inside at how great she was looking.
"Thank you." She said, smiling gently. "Hey Natsu?"
"Yeah…" He rolled off his back and pushed himself up to his full height. "Wow Wendy, you've grown." He stated now seeing how she changed.
She said nothing, almost waiting for him to continue his statement which he did. His next words were all she needed to hear from this moment on.
"You look beautiful." He said, just for Wendy to pounce into his arms and plant a kiss on his lips.
She had grown, no doubt because she and her mother went into another time-rifted plane, no doubt as a means to grow closer with her mother. Now she stood taller than her cousin Rory, and just below Natsu's head. Her chest became more developed and matched Lisanna's for a fact. She had her hair up the same way as she liked it, twin tails which were kept to the same length as normal. When they broke the kiss Wendy only needed to say one thing.
"Natsu, please. I need you." She said clear as her eyes began to tear up. Soon they found themselves in the middle of a field far from the estate and surrounded by trees. The two younglings kept up with a passionate kiss which soon left them bare skinned. Scales began showing rapidly, the two of them let their base instincts go free and as no words had to be spoken at this point Natsu left the final word to his future Queen.
"Wendy, I am to be your servant. Your King. My love for you is never ending, and I swear to you I will never forsake you. I will let you decide your role as this is your life, your choice. Will you be mine?"
"Make me your Queen Natsu. I've waited so long for this, I couldn't bare to wait any more." She bit down on her tongue and inserted it to the male's mouth.
Their blood began to mix and the next act began. Natsu prepared his member which Wendy broke the kiss off as she eye balled the meat stick. She licked her lips as she swallowed all of Natsu's blood and saliva. She gave the head a quick kiss before letting her spit lube it up. Letting herself get into position, she lined up the pole and opened her lower lips. She did not however expect him to begin placing kisses and licks up her inner thighs before eating her out for a little bit which mader her back spasm in ecstasy.
As this went on, Wendy brought her feet together and went up and down on Natsu's meat stick, amazed by how it felt for both parties. Seeing how this worked wonders for Natsu, Wendy gave a smirk in between moans, she was ready.
With a solid motion, he brought himself in and took away her innocence. Blood dripping from the contact, Wendy whined as the two of them began to finish their marking. They went into the moment, not stopping for many hours. The two of them were craving this for centuries.
"Ahh~" Wendy broke the kiss as her tongue was out panting from the heat. "I really love you Natsu."
"I love you Wendy. Your scales are forming nicely, truly the nicest shade of scales I've ever seen." He said, knowing full well the rest of the girls would be saddened that he enjoyed Wendy's more. However it was a necessary win in Wendy's book. Wendy took much abusement from events in their life, her journey wasn't an easy one.
With everything that has been thrown her way, Wendy was a strong warrior. She was young, but that is far from the truth in the terms of her experience. She was right besides Natsu in many fields, and grew alongside him. The two of them always saw each other as family, and Wendy had the habit of calling Natsu her big brother which he nearly always gave her a head part for. Only now after they had awakened to their blood lines, their past becoming clear, have they taken the steps towards their endless lives together.
When they finished, they remained in eachothers arms. They remained like this for hours simply enjoying the afterglow of their love making. Nastu placed a kiss on her head which she smiled at receiving. She looked up at him, one fang sticking out as she snuggled more into his chest.
"You know Natsu…" she began, getting confirmation from her lover as he tightened his grip. "Looking back at how we left Fairy Tail… All those adventures we went on… I can't forgive how things ended up." She said, her hair turning pink as her anger began taking form. "From all those people who we considered our friends.. our family. I don't think I will ever forgive them."
"Not even Romeo?" Natsu asked, teasing her.
"He was too young for me. Plus I had my eyes only on you since we met back up." She said as a frown took form on her beautiful face. "I don't even recall anything from those spirits."
She began naming many of the jobs they went out for. Even all the ones where it was just the two of them. When it came back to the 'Team Natsu' gang they had, she couldn't believe with how close Lucy got with him yet she betrayed all his good deeds when the truth came out. Gray wasn't the nicest guy in the guild but he had no issues with the little girl who she'd admit, had a lot of respect for. The Ice mage, turned Devilslayer was a rarity among their group and nearly held no ties to the rest of them.
Only for his mother to have died early on, his father became possessed by one of the demon gates, all thanks to the efforts of Zeref. However the pain which he had lived with for years was quickly released the moment Natsu brought them back into his life. A deed a good friend would have done, which in all fairness, he was to forgive them.
More members came to mind, Happy, Carla, and once more Lucy. For Happy to turn away from the man who was basically his adoptive father, Wendy would skin that cat right now if she had the chance. Carla however also fit in this betrayal, not coming to Wendy once she was returned to her birthright status. Yet Lucy… Her case was far from her understanding.
"Lucy…" She tightened her fists. "How- who was she to you Natsu?"
"Luce… She was a girl I found myself having no limit of trust in. The more time I spent with her, the more I grew to have more deeper feelings for her. I would say I did end up loving her." he said, a lone streak tear rolled down his face.
"She is a descendant of Aunt Anna, so her blood did attract you to that place you first met. Other than the rumors salamander was there…" Wendy brought up. Natsu nodded knowing this now as he looked further back to the time where it all started for those two.
The two slowly started crying a bit, which did them nothing but relief. Having their emotions laid out and freely expressed made them more calm. they began discussing some of the older members they've met and when it came to just general guesses on who was going to end up where, they came to an understanding. Out of all the members in the guild, one truly stood out amongst the peers.
"Laxus, I have nothing but respect for him." Natsu said, wondering how the strongest dragon slayer he ever knew was.
"He was really strong."
"I have no doubt in my mind that even now, if he was here he'd be able to take these devils along with other higher beings fairly well."
"Surely you jest..?" Wendy mocks, agreeing however teasingly.
"Nope. I believe in all honesty he will become the strongest dragon slayer that ever lived. If I had the chance I'd even ask him if he wished to join our cult."
"You'd want him to be part of our family..?"
"Yeah, I think he deserves it. Call it a hunch, I know he already surpassed the master long ago. With a flick of his wrist he might even be able to remove an entire continent from the face of the world. For a mortal human… Those anti magical cells that one guy poisoned him with most likely removed the only safe part that the second generation saylers had. The lacrima implanted was developed to avoid the spreading of the dragon cells. That lacrima is most certainly destroyed, and now his cells have become accustomed to their strength. Its as though he's a legitimate first generation slayer."
"Hopefully he hasn't gotten mad with the trade off… How a dragon's rage is very well known and our fury has no equal."
"He might be reaching that stage now, even though it's a bit late. I do hope we can help him keep his humanity, if that's what he desires."
"Did you ever... Just want to go see them again?" Wendy looked up to his face.
"I do think I will visit them soon, I wonder mainly how much time has passed since we left them… This dimensional rift makes things hard to tell, but I do recall mother stating it was tied to the one we're with now. She only changed it a few days ago, here that is… Its hard explaining." He grunted, making Wendy giggle. "She got us on the same time frame as the Devils and what not."
"I don't like those devils… Issei pissed me off." Wendy stated bluntly.
"Hahaha. I bet he did. Guy is a real pervert, and he has no respect for those above him. The girls he's around aren't that bad for the most part, they didn't give off any ill will to us from what I could sense."
"You just want more girls for your growing Harem." Wendy teased. "But yes, I know. None of them have your attention that way. I am happy to say it feels good to have the family together again. Even though I was really young by the time we were sent away. Meanwhile the dragon slayers went to the future with the gate and all, I do miss how clean the world we lived in was compared to Issei's."
"Well as Igneel said, this world didn't evolve into a magical concept. They relied on faith, and science to get where they are now. Any and all magic beings were killed off to being believed to only exist in fairy tales. Rory mentioned the other day she was gonna get us all some phones. One way for us to adapt to this world."
"Huh, I didn't know you really wanted to fit in with the humans."
"To be honest, I don't. I just want my current kids to grow up safe in their world. They're already a part of it, and have known it for their entire lives. I will not rip them from it, it wouldn't be right."
"..." Wendy snuggled into his chest. "Nastu, you need to stop letting the past have this much of a hold on you." She stated, grabbing his attention quickly, hitting all the bases at once. "You killed a lot of our people, hurt our friends and some of our family. I get that, however look at our Uncle. Even what our parents themselves did."
Nastu was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say. Wendy had read him like a book, and now was making her report.
"You have done nothing compared to the one who wiped out most of what remained of our race. And everyone here involved has already forgiven you. We all love you, and I know that will never change." She placed her hands on his cheeks. "So promise me as you just did, be there for us all. Never give up on us nor yourself. You are our King. We live as one family, not to be held back by errors made hundreds of years ago."
Her words were wisdom, and her voice was love. Despite being the younger of the two, she had shown the most maturity. She had him down, and held him close. He was to her the only person worth living for in this cruel twisted roll of fate.
True she loved all of her family, but as a mate, Natsu was usually the first on the list. It was a mutual feeling among the dragonesses. But to Natsu, they all mattered equally. His parents, aunt, brother, sisters, mates, and now his kids. He was to live for them as a prideful example and a pillar that of which they all stood by.
"Thanks Wendy." He placed a kiss on her forehead and laid back down. "Now, what do you want to do now, my queen?" She smiled lovingly.
"Let's stay like this for a little while. Then we can head back home and talk to the others. I figure now it would be best to get to know my nieces and nephew. My new sisters will be in for a surprise with my development." She smiled as steam came out her nostrils.
X_X (Same place- Lemon over)
Within a few hours of resting, Wendy and Natsu made their way back home. The two of them held hands all the way back as they walked. Natsu was taking in how well her scales formed around her as they slowly started fading away. Unlike her Grandmother, Wendy happened to be very well suited to take on her mother's element which she made note of as they walked back. Her dark blue scales showed this, as a nice cold breeze iced over her, removing all the scales and leaving her completely nude. Nastu asked if she wanted to put her clothes from before back on, but forgot she practically ripped them to shreds.
"Well, I say Lisanna would be the best person to ask for some spare clothes, at least till either Rory or either of our moms teaches us how to make clothes." Natsu said, making Wendy come to a stop.
"Erza, might have some left over when she was younger."
"You better not be making fun of me…" Wendy said as she pouted.
"Never, I love ya. You're still growing, and have a high chance of out doing the rest of them." He reassured her, and she smiled warmly.
She smirked as she snapped her fingers, her mother's famous icy-cold blue flames danced around her form and dissipated, her prior uniform back in place good as new. Once more she snuffed, getting the male to applaud her.
"You got me beat there." Natsu scratched the back of his head, not at all embarrassed that she learned something faster than him.
Meanwhile back with the kids, Mikey was being pampered by his sisters in his room. They had the entire place locked down and even put a sign on the door asking not to be disturbed. Not that they had planned on going in that direction yet, but they just wanted to cuddle with one another and in all honesty, have their alone time as they were still dealing with the loss of their friends.
Their mothers were talking to Lisanna who wanted to just get to know them more. Afterall, from the moment Natsu marked them, they became sisters. Jenna made note to Lisanna that if she had wanted to learn how to use a take over, they'd be more than willing to show her their powers in a means to acquire it. The younger female smiled as she couldn't wait to learn how to become a fox or wolf to the degree they were.
"I assure you, the fact you've mastered your abilities this far shows great promise." Jenna said as she inspected Lisanna's body. "I'll be able to tell more once we strip you down." Doing exactly that, she removed Lisanna's clothing and began her examination.
"Don't worry, we'll head to the baths after this." Yasaka said as she yawned. "Just so we're clear. Never. I repeat NEVER go into any cat forms from this day on."
"Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know you hated cats."
"Oh yes. Mainly because the last Neko clan head tried to-!" She was stopped short as Jenna finished it.
"They pushed their luck. They paid the price. Now come, let's hit the baths." Jenna led the way, letting her clothing fall to the floor as she did. Yasaka followed her steps and the remaining two walked behind their wolf sister. They passed by Mira and Cana as they were heading out to the front porch. Saying that Mavis wanted to have some girl talk.
Mira and Cana had begun to discuss some things with their previous first master, Mavis who was more than eager to have this girl talk. Being contained for so many years is by no means a fate she wished to have, and now free she had to get back into the social ring. The blonde had developed very well, and she ended up having her hair cut much shorter so now it was in twin tails much like Wendy, but just a bit longer.
"You know Mavis, you got a really cute fang when you smile." Cana pointed out as she pointed to her own. "I wonder if mine are that cute?"
"Oh they are, you have very cute teeth Cana. "Mavis smiled, her face full of excitement and joy. "I also noticed you started to wear your hair back Mira." Mavis said, bringing the white haired woman into the conversation. "It's the way you had it when you were in your rebellious stage."
"Yeah, I feel more comfortable this way." She shrugged as she appreciated the attention to her change. "Hope Natsu likes it…"
"I do." Natsu mentioned just as he and Wendy arrive at the door. "What are you all doing out here?" She smiled as he gave them each a kiss on the cheek.
"Well glad you like it." Mira said as she blushed hearing her mates praise.
"We were just talking about stuff from the past and trying to dig up dirt on how the master and Zeref got together." Cana said as she leaned in almost as if she was going to whisper something, but only to pretend. "Did you know Zeref never once stopped writing to her? No wonder he was fond of books!"
"Yeah, he loves his books. By the way, have you seen him around? Haven't seen him since pops went to go see his grandkids for a bit."
"Oh he left with Igneel to the human world, should be back soon. Yeah, the kids have been alone in Mikey's room."
"Yeah, Zeref tends to just leave when he hears something interesting. Igneel this time however brought some sort of idea into his head and they just took off." Mavis said as she pondered about what her mate had planned.
"Any idea's Natsu?"
"No sorry Cana, nothing."
"My Wendy… You did it." Mira stated as she took one sniff from the bluenette.
The girls quickly congratulated her, and welcomed her to their circle of sisters. Natsu got a hug from the other girls and more questions thrown around about if they should throw a party, or just have some more fun later. However much to Cana and Mira's disappointment, Natsu had to decline that for now.
"Yeah, sorry girls. I need to wait for those types of things till Rory and mom get back. They headed to go see the God of the Underworld here, Hades."
Unknownst to the group, the three kids had decided to make their way outside and go for a walk. Mikey, Luna and Kunou booked it from the others the moment they could. Like typical children, they'd run off as if they broke something. As of now, all they wanted was to be outside and away from any form of society. Granted they already were in this plane, but the building itself wasn't helping. The warm outside air and trees their grandmother created were exact copies of the real thing, and they couldn't be happier.
Making some more headway past the arena, the group came across the same area Wendy and Natsu were at moments ago and kept going. The three of them came across some boulders out stretching towards a cave with a running stream coming off a mountain. Going to the water, they began to explore the area.
Learning from what their grandfather said, Ophis made this area based off of the world they originate from. It was much easier and simpler to just base it off of their home world rather than come up with an idea from scratch. No idea what their home world was like, it gave them some closure to at least experience it this much.
"Hey Luna, think dad has any free time soon?" Kunou asked as she was attempting to climb a boulder, sliping and ending up falling into the water. Mikey offered her a hand to get up, but she just pulled him in.
"I can say I've always wanted to go see it. Mum always said the oceans there were the best." Kunou decided to sit this water fight out, only to be splashed the moment she sat down on the very same boulder Kunou fell off of. "Oh that does it!" She glared at her sister who did the damage, jumping down on her with a growl as she gently pushed Mikey out of the way.
"Hey, maybe if dad isn't troubled by it... Do you think he'd take us to the other world?" Mikey brought up. "I know I don't know much, but I'm willing to learn as well."
The two girls stopped their little wrestling match with Luna being the victor, or at least the one with the pin.
"You're as much as involved in this as us, all our parents came from that world, Earthland. Now that we share the same father, its supposed to be our right to take up where he left off there." Luna walked off to the side, shaking like a typical dog when wet.
Mikey picked up Kunou and they followed the latters lead. They made some small talk, laughing a bit about what their friends would say about them and how they'd enjoy this place. In their loving memory they'd all swore to make those responsible for this terror learn true terror.
They continued to play around for a while, starting off with hide-n-sneak. They promised not to cheat and use their keen sense of smell which would end it instantly. Some more time passed, and to their joy their game lasted fairly long. Before they knew it, the plane became night time, and they found themselves under a freshly set night sky. They laid down on their backs, Mikey being the middle of his older sisters.
Looking at all the stars, none of them match the ones they were used to. They were like little kids experiencing a full night sky in the woods for the first time. A magical moment to see their minds clear of the past and in the moment, just enjoying the innocence of the night sky.
"Hey Mikey, I know we've been over this many times over. But do you really enjoy us calling you Mikey, or would you prefer Michael now?" Luna asked as she pulled the male towards her.
"Either is fine. I don't mind when you call me Mikey or Michael." He said, only making her blush.
"Well little brother, when we get back lets see if Dad will take us to his home." Kunou threw in as she grabbed him from behind and nibbled on his ear. "Mikey is cute, but Michael sounds much nicer I say."
He blushed at her nibble, and only looked at Luna who placed a hand on his cheek, then kissing his forehead. She promised them as long as she was there for them, she'd be by their side. From this moment on, the three of them were to have one another's backs the entire way. More time continued to pass, the three of them stayed in silence as the wind blew calmly along with the stream.
Coming from behind them from the direction of the estate, Mirajanne came up to the three kids who she couldn't believe how cute they were. The taller female walked up to the three kids with a smile, she crouches down and looked up to the sky. Taking in now for the first time the familiar stars from her home world.
"I really can't get over how real these stars look. Oph-Mom really got every detail down right." The white haired fairy pointed out. "You kids enjoying the night sky?"
"Yeah… It's soo calm and not artificial like the one on earth." Luna said, not taking her current sight off the stars.
"No planes, no satellites. Just a clean open sky with stars all around." Mikey mentioned as he slowly broke free from his sister's grips. "Hey Miss Mirajane, do you think we could ever go to your world?"
"Hmm…I can't say. I can't speak much about how your father and mothers view earthland, but I recall us leaving on a hard time. I don't know if Natsu went over his… Nevermind, anyway I came to tell you three your father wanted to speak with you. Come, let's meet him at the arena." Mira got up and offered her hands to the kids, picking them all up with one pull.
"Oh and Mikey, just call me Mira. That goes for all of you. We're family after all." Mira patted the male on his head between his ears, nearly getting him to start panting.
She happened to have the magic touch, something that not even his sisters managed to have such a fast reaction to. The group made way to those still home. With much shock to that of Natsu, his sister and mother were already done and made their way back. Their guests had sent word to the twins, and only now time will tell if they're still alive.
The three young kids went to their mothers, and Natsu who just got out of a single bath. They threw out the idea about possibly going to see what Natsu and their parents left behind on earthland, which Natsu went stock. It was sudden, but he felt it coming. Rather he knew they'd ask about it at some point in the future.
How things played out like this though, he couldn't imagine. He was thinking about going back for a visit and to see a few faces, see how much time had passed. Fairly so, his mates deserved the right to go see their home world. Jenna, Yasaka, and their daughters never got to see what happened to the world since they left when they were still kids all those millenia ago. All the new kingdoms that formed and came to be after the fall of their own.
"Are you sure about this one...?" Cana came by with Lisanna.
"I for one never got to say goodbye to Elf-nii. He deserves that right, and hell I wish he'd accept our choice to be with Natsu." She thought more into it, now recalling the fact she didn't say a single word to him.
Both her and her sister just left with Natsu without any thought regarding their brother. Pondering on the act further, she didn't even recall seeing him there. As though he vanished. The group began to inform one another of the possibility of going to see Earthland which no one was opposed to. Rory ended up saying she'd love to meet those who had a part in raising her older brother and cousin.
From that moment on, they went to go talk to Igneel who just waved off the idea of going himself. Saying he'd rather avoid that world for the rest of his life. Looking up at his father who was laid out comfortably in his natural body, Natsu sighed as he couldn't blame him. He had many reasons over for his choice, and he bet he only knew half of them.
Zeref was all game for going, figuring now would be a better time to see where his empire had gotten off from his last visit. Not to forget he left it in the hands of his most trusted friend, Irene. She had to get in touch with her daughter, something he left her off with last they spoke. The mother of Erza had nothing but regret for not doing so sooner, and promised that she'd make up for it. The last part however Zeref kept out from Erza when he spilled the beans to her.
Ophis on the other hand wanted to go on the trip with her grandkids. But deep inside her two present children could tell her pain. Just like Igneel, she had hundreds of thousands killed by her hands and that of her actions. She hid it very well from the others, but it was her choice to make ultimately.
"Lets head over now then. We won't be needing anything as it is." She said looking at her daughter and son.
Natsu scratched the back of his head and nodded. If truth be told, he could see if his old place was still up. His savings there most likely weren't found if Happy didn't spill it. The blue fur ball however was a side memory, no longer the same bond they used to share in Natsu's eyes. It was the same for Wendy, he knew of that from her earlier speech.
The blue haired heiress stood tall and came to Natsu's side. She had her own ideals that she had to clear up, and pending on how things go she may need to add another being to her bounty. Rory seemed to pick up on her cousin's hate and grabbed her hand for reassurement. They had a silent talk with just their eyes, and then went back to looking up at Natsu. The older male scanned the group, seeing who was coming with him. However his whole plan to move right away was put on hold the moment his kids' stomachs growled.
He smiled and laughed at their embarrassment, each of them blushing.
"Guess we'll eat before we go." Luna said as she led the way to the dining room.
They did just that, and before long they decided to make sure everyone who wanted to go was absolutely positive. Despite the earlier feelings and other ideas, as for the girls who weren't going, just Mirajane and Cana. They came to terms and just didn't want anything to do with their home world anymore. Everyone else was going to go, at least of those present. Ophis sighed and put on a slight smirk.
Snapping her fingers, a large magical seal formed around them, below their feet. Releasing some further restraints that she put in herself to keep her away from her home world, she grew to her actual height. The dragon goddess herself stood tall and proud as another snap went by and they began traveling between the dimensions. Passing endless realities and worlds on their way, they stopped just above Earthland, still in their little magical sphere.
Taking in the full view of the planet, everyone took a long look. For most of them, Natsu included this was the first time seeing their home world from space let alone a planet in general. The feeling was unreal, yet it wasn't like that at all for the Queen. She looked back at Earthland with many mixtures of emotions. Natsu came to her side and grabbed hold of her hand. With a returned grip, Ophis tightened her hand as she very much wished to go back to her new world.
"It's alright mum." Natsu said in a slight young sounding tone. "You haven't been here in many meliena, everyone that once caused you harm or any hatred has long since passed."
Rory came to her other side and wrapped her arms around her waist. She didn't care one bit to see her mother upset, that much was very clear. Right now what really got Ophis to relax and turn back to her normal motherly ways was none other than her grandkids running up behind her giving her hugs. She blushed, and gladly smiled at them.
"Come mother, we need to go see the people Natsu-nii grew up with." Rory pulled at her arm in a rush to go.
Kyouka and Sayla started mumbling to one another, cracking some jokes which didn't go unnoticed by Natsu who turned around and gave them both high fives for the joke. The fairies however saw it as a challenge, and brought themselves to be stern like steel. Silently they vowed they wouldn't be the first ones to break when they returned.
"I got money on Erza breaking first." Natsu whispered to Kyouka who laughed as she saw Erza snap back around to her older sister who couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey!" Erza snapped, blushing madly. "I'm not that emotional!" She pouted. "Anyway, I want to go see our mother. You said she'd be in Zeref's empire correct?"
Natsu got calm and stopped laughing, noticing Kyouka did the same. He nodded and allowed Kyouka to speak her part. The older sister informed Erza that she in all ways looked like their mother, so it'd be easy to find her just by the looks. With her dragon senses fully clear and no longer blocked and suppressed, she'd have no issues tracking down their mother.
"We should probably head to find her first. That ok with you Natsu?"
"I'm fine with whatever course you decide. However mother here will be our ride back so you need to ask her first."
"I'm personally fine with it. In fact, I can't wait to see her after all these countless years." With that said, Ophis began their arrival and they arrived just outside of Zeref's own palace. "This should be Zeref's kingdom. Alvarez correct?"
"Empire, and yes this is it." Mavis said as she looked around. "His sense of taste needs to improve in terms of art." She pouted as she broke off and began breaking things she found grotesque.
Her sudden 'destruction' of 'precious art', alerted the guards, who had arrived and surrounded the group. However Mavis was having nothing of it, demanding that they'd leave them be do to the fact her MATE and HUSBAND was their emperor. Thus making her in fact their Emperess.
Even though they knew it to be true, they were more worried that her actions were just a bit extreme. She was introduced before just after the whole reveal, when Zeref and her stayed to take care of their 'business'. Granted the time they spent here was around five to seven years before they decided to go see Ophis and co., on Earth.
As for the Emperor, he was currently strolling the outside halls leaving his family without a word. No doubt to get away from seeing his mate destroy the pieces of art he was fond of. Even though no one could see it, tears of sadness rolled down his cheeks for the loss.
Natsu sighed and pushed one of the guards out of the way and pulled Zeref back into sight. The guards stopped and lowered their weapons instantly. With what was expected, Mavis continued her rampage of sorts while Zeref went to go be by her side, trying to spare what he could from her wrath. Only a few pieces made it through the great cataclysm…
Nastu sighed knowing the pain Zeref went through to get a few of those treasures.
"Well we're here now, Erza, Kyouka," He called to his mates. "You want to break off or did you want me to go with y-"
"No, you go explore with the kids. Kyouka and I will go find our mother." Erza pulled her sister's hand and the two of them made their way to the throne room.
The latter waved bye to the others as Sayla secretly celebrated the reunion for her soul sister. Having little to do now, Sayla began to head to the many libraries Zeref had formed in his palace. Her love for books was nearly endless, however she was keeping it a secret from others that there was a specific grene she was hunting for…
Ophis looked at the people that kept walking by outside, and just started to look at their choice of clothing. Truly many years had passed if this was their current choice of clothing. At least from her last time here.
"I want to go see where you grew up dad." Kunou said, pulling at his sleeve.
"Father, didn't you mention you had your old home somewhere?" Mikey asked next, happy as can be to be going on this trip.
"Come on papa, I want to go meet the people who you went on missions with!" Luna said having no patience. All three of his kids wanted to go so badly that he couldn't help but oblige. "You also said they had some very strong wizards there right? Oh I want to see how strong they are!"
Her statement was one-hundred percent her father… There was no doubt about that one there. Her mother along with the others could see how much she looked up to her father, and wanted to be just like him. No doubt the feeling and passion was shared amongst his kids, but as of now Luna was taking charge.
"You really are my kid." Natsu smiled, scratching behind her ears. "Ok lets go, but I warn ya now… It's across the ocean so it'll take a bit. That is if you still want to site see."
The three kids most certainly wanted to see everything, so what they were going to do was spend a few hours here and then head over to Fiore. And before they knew it, they were on their way with everyone else minus the emperor and empress.
They failed to notice the date, unknowingly many years have passed since they left. By the time they went across the ocean, arriving in Fiore just before sunset, the entire outer wall was larger. In fact, there wasn't one to any degree this one is now.
Standing tall in front of the group was a thicc gate with a surrounding wall towering twenty feet. From log posts, to very old looking concrete pillars. They made their way between the open gate as a few handfuls of guards stood by waving people through.
Seems Fiore had strengthened their borders and upped their security. This left little to the imagination as all those present in the family felt the same war torn felling.
"Excuse me sir?" Luna walked to one the guards and asked for a newspaper.
He turned his back for a second and then handed her one from the podium right next to him. She thanked the guard and walked back over, not understanding a single word on the paper.
Seeing how none of his kids not understand the language, Nastu slapped his cheeks and took a comedic sigh. With a quick spell, the words on the paper quickly became understandable and clear. An instant translation, or rather language teacher. If only he knew this earlier, he could've avoided Erza's ruthless teaching methods…
The kids learned it instantly as though they always knew it, just another benefit to their own blood lines.
"So the year is-" Mikey was cut off as Natsu went wide-eyed.
Opening his hand for the kids to hand the newspaper over, he presented it forward as the girls gathered by his shoulders to read along, kids in front also reading.
"It's been over twelve years..."
With no room to delay, Natsu and co. booked it for Magnolia, Ophis just tax-y-ing them to their destination. When they arrived, they noticed zero changes to the city from afar. They arrived right at Natsu and Happy's little house they made, the sign completely destroyed and tangled pieces all in the grass amongst the dirt road.
Checking the house out, Nastu couldn't smell anything. No one was there, it was abandoned. He slowly walked to his old door and opened it, just outwards which wasn't right.
"..."
He remained silent as his family remained out by the road. He looked around, noticing the place hadn't been well kept, and all things he saved from his adventures and missions either gone or broken.
The old fairy tail insignia he burnt into the stone above was scratched up to make it look as though it was just a fire mark. Knowing better, he knows someone came in and did it on purpose.
Nothing however remained of Happys'. All his sacks and fishing rods were gone. He had left it would seem, and left nothing behind that was his.
Taking a few more minutes, Natsu took a seat on his old 'bed', and took it all in. He didn't want to show this to his kids, not the way it is now. But the damage here was done, there were no do overs here.
"You can come on in!" He called out to them in a relaxed tone. "Just the kids first, not too much room in here." He made sure to note which Wendy recalled to be true.
The kids went inside and avoided the broken materials on the floor. Stepping over old and broken picture frames, the pictures destroyed and ripped apart. Not a single one survived the event.
The kids left quietly and waited for their mothers to look. Rory went in last as she went to comfort her brother who took the much needed hug. When they came out Natsu didn't even need to say a word as he snapped his fingers.
The house of which was home to him and his old friend went up in flames. The stone collapsed on top, leaving nothing but ash and stone of everything that was once there.
"Alright..." Nastu closes his eyes as he seemed to be fighting with himself a bit. "Let's head into town. But first," turning to his kids and family with cold eyes with a hidden fire behind them. "Let's make sure no one notices us." Meaning the ex-fairytail members of the group.
This his mother took care of, changing their hair colors to blonde and removing their scars, eyes all being green or blue. Not leaving Rory out of the fun as it would also strike the guild and town if a 'female' Natsu showed up one day.
"There, a happy family." She said, giving them the appearance of siblings minus the grandkids and herself. However the pleas by the three grandkids quickly changed that, also making sure grandmother also did her part.
So from where they were standing, it appeared a rather large amount of kids and those in their early twenties were all siblings, with the grandkids looking like younger ones. They began walking into town, the grandkids taking in all the sites. They went window shopping, something their mothers couldn't help but do the same.
Wendy grabbed Rory and they went to pull of some 'twin' work in clothing stores. Trying on clothes as was expected of girls appearing around their age. Rather fast at making choices which is a rare feature among the fairer sex...
Natsu and Ophis however took their leave from the others as they decided to just head for the guild, Ophis tailing Natsu as he requested the support nonverbally. They held hands, Ophis giving him a reassuring squeeze which carries him forward. Her adult form was there for him, the very mother he desired to have at his side, not her more known child form.
As they grew closer to the guild, they began smelling an all to familiar scent which was impossible to dismiss. A dragon was inside and by what Natsu could tell, it wasn't Gajeel.
"This is going to be tough." Wendy said as she showed up within the blink of an eye, a new set of clothing she had picked out catching Natsu's attention. A nice closed top with slight cleavage showing with a crossbone having a rose in its mouth in the very center. The dark black shade complimented her new hair color very well and the green rose brought out her new eye color.
"Already done...?" Natsu asked, unsure how the female was able to get done so fast.
"Yeah well I could feel you were stressing, and wanted to hurry along. Granted Rory is still looking herself. Having to get a good two sizes smaller than me." Wendy smirked and then gave herself a look over, glad to see Natsu doing the same which made her very happy. He complimented her attire, saying it would be nice even with her natural features.
"Still, that was really quick."
"The last store we went to is right there." She points to the one directly to their left, a good 400 feet from the guild. "Plus you of course took the long route around to the guild rather the straight path. I passed by Lucy's old apparent on the way here, seems they've changed owners and I no longer have her scent there." As she finished Rory arrived in her new attire as well, a navy blue tank top with her tight black jeans, similar to the rest of the girls. A necklace went across her neck like a choker, a rather strange looking cross coming down in the middle.
"Hmm, I wonder if she ever got to that reporter job she wanted...?"
Having no idea what to say, Ophis pulled at his hand as Wendy came to take the other. The two females urged him to have the courage to go through with this. Rory gave her brother a confident smile and a thumbs up. Luna and her siblings stood by their moms and waited to see his response.
And so, they went to the front door, and knocked. Normally. The urge to kick the door off its hinges and send it flying was no longer a desire for Natsu who was remembering how he'd usually arrive. He's changed, grown up more and seems rather tired of this place. The will he had to stand his current footing was calm and relaxed. However there was a few things that kept him from that, answers he needed to know.
Soon a voice he remembered answered and opened up to greet them. Her long blue hair and happy smile left no doubt that it was Levi. She hadn't changed much, however the two in front of her saw two 'new' things she lacked before make their permanent residence known.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" The mage welcomes them. From first look inside, the guild was straight lined, and not in a reck. "Please come in-ehh?!" She was caught off guard by all the blondes at the door.
"Yeah sorry we brought most of the family..." Wendy talked first, her voice not being recognized by her fellow bluette.
"M-most... Please come in!" She waved for them to come in again, making room for them to do so.
The group proceeded inside and had the kids go sit down with Rory at one of the tables. Wendy stood next to her mate and waited for his action. They still had no idea how to go about this, and hoped Natsu had a plan.
"We were hoping to ask a few questions related to the guild, nothing too personal or secretive I assure you." Natsu began.
"Sure, please just go gather around your siblings over there and I'll have a few members assist." She smiled as she headed to where the bar was.
A female no one of the group recognized worked behind it, and they practically looked around to see what members they could make out still belonged. Sad to say only two other faces were found that they remember, Romeo and his dad.
Ignoring them for a minute, they apparently had a mission selected and headed out. Levi made a heavy sigh as her companion from the bar just told her to cheer up with a joyful smile. Levi then headed up stairs to where the masters office would be, and went inside.
A few minutes passed and she returned down the stairs with a very tall blonde man who was none other than Laxus. His choice of clothing had not changed whatsoever and he looked pretty much the same age, just even more ripped. (AN: His appearance is the same as Alvarez arc)
"Allow me to welcome your family to our guild hall. I'm the master, Laxus." He said, opening a hand for a shake to Natsu who took it and welcomed it.
"Thanks for having us, we're the Slades." He came up with on the spot. "I'm Jackal, this is my family." He gestured to the women and younger boy.
"Pretty large family you got there." Laxus smiled with a smirk.
"Yeah, there's more of us, but they're out doing personal shoppings. Anyway, we wanted to know if we could find out some details about your guild. You're pretty famous and all, members being rather known for their destructive nature." Natsu laughed, getting Laxus to do the same.
"Well, you're right about that. Nothing but paper work for my ass." He said, as he rubbed his forehead. "So you want to learn about our guild and our members? Normally I'd just hand you a poster with some of our more famous members on it, but it seems you rather learn more than just names."
Soon Laxus had taken out a projector orb, and had a quick passage about the guild and its founding members. What was a video about the guild masters and so forth, went to how Fairy tail got its current status.
"Currently for the past 13 years under my reign as the guild master, we've once more taken the top place as Fiore's number one guild!" He said with some pride, hiding some sadness underneath.
"Impressive, magnolia has quite the number of guilds."
"Yes, many of them are filled with mages very well skilled in their respective art. Over the past 3 years more guilds have begun forming up and becoming registered among our ranks."
"Oh why's the sudden increase with new guilds?" Wendy threw her voice in.
"There was an incident that led to a rather large war with two neighboring kingdoms, that brought many refugees over. A small island nation was taken out from the face of the globe, and from there Fiore has adapted to making more academies to train mages and possible new soldiers for the army. With war being at our border, the kingdom has decreed mages be forced to sign for the draft. With the previous numbers of our military being less than a 1-to-30 ratio of either nation, nearly all experienced mages were called into service."
The group remained silent, the ex-fairies pondering what had actually happened. Word that a major war had been going on for three years just didn't fit well in their stomaches.
"I figure you guys are from a nation down south?"
"Yeah, Viro."
"Explains the blonde hair and eyes." He looked at the group. "I gotta say, you have a nice family here..."
"Thank you." The young boy said, showing his canines.
"With most of the mages coming back after their contract, they formed new guilds of their own and offered experience training for their members. Something I refused to follow."
"Why's that master?" Luna asked.
"It's an old saying here for this guild. Here, our members are family." He said as he looked up at the office, seemingly caught in a flashback. "I don't want to raise soldiers to fight a war, this is a family zone. We protect our freedoms and liberties, not have them taken away just to go fight in a foreign land." Laxus seemed tired, his body gave off the impression he hadn't been getting much time off or any decent amount of sleep.
"When did you take over for your grandfather?" Nastu asked, curious about his old mentor and grandfather figure.
"After an unfortunate event, he had decided to retire once and for all... Within a month of doing so, he seemingly felt his time come and moved on."
His words nearly broke Natsu and Wendy. The old man had passed on, granted it was expected after 13 years, however it was only a month after they left. The utter amount of guilt they felt for it nearly made them want to rip their arms off.
Laxus saw the sudden drop of the fire within his guests, but decided not to go ask why. Shortly another person had come down from the office, a young boy who looked a lot like Levi, with the same hair color and rather short cut spiky hair. He ran to the bar, talked to the older female and rushed into Levi's arms as she came out of the kitchen.
Their relation no doubt evident, Laxus smiled as he looked over at the pair, waving them over. They followed, and some ran to the masters side. The young boy looked at the fellow kids and introduced himself as Leroy.
The three kids introduced themselves, all saying their actual first names and leaving out the rest. They seemed to get along from the greeting, and got to sit down all at the table.
"Leroy here is my son," Levi said, looking at her boy as she played with his hair. "His dad was one of those mages called into the draft, ….and hadn't been seen since." she looked down with a small, sad smile.
Having zero doubt that Gajeel was the father, as the boy had the scent of a dragon the group looked away for a moment as they gave their own hopeful wishes that he was ok.
"Laxus here is his godfather along with his mentor. Seeing how they're both dragon slayers, there was no one else more suited to the role."
"Hey there Leroy, I'm Jackal. Wow you're pretty strong aren't you." Natsu teased making the kid think he was too tight with his grip. "No worries, you're fine."
"Anyway Laxus," Natsu looked back at the man. "Back in our country we had received word that a few mages from the guild had arrived down there, making it their retirement home."
"Hmm, I do believe that's true. To be frank with you, the guild here hasn't been the same since the first year I took over. No doubt the event from the year prior and the passing of the third left a black cloud over our heads."
"I take it, some just stopped showing up..? No longer having the will to continue."
"Many in fact did indeed do that. Sad to say we don't have as many members as we once did at our peek, but we still have some new members requesting to join every other month which is good for closure."
"Many of our older friends we had met since we were really young, had been some of the first to go. My best friend one of them." Levi mentioned Lucy, which got noted for later.
"After seeing much and hearing out from you guys I got a rather more interesting question if you don't mind." Ophis said, having her own voice heard amongst the group.
"Sure, by all means I welcome conversation."
"Anything to get you away from the paperwork right uncle?" Leroy hit the mark.
"I was wondering about that last battle with the dragon of apocalypse. Any news as to what happened?"
"Sadly, at the time I was rendered unconscious, missing out on much of what was going on. Levi here would know more so-". He was cut off by Ophis.
"Any word about Natsu Dragneel? Wendy Marvel?" She asked, wondering how the kids were remembered.
"..."
"Natsu had to leave us, the guild and all. The girls that went with him felt that we turned our backs on him. The guild did. They really did..." he made sure not to include himself.
"Had I been conscious, I would not have dared let them leave without them knowing how I felt." He said, looking at Ophis then back to Wendy and Natsu. "They were my family, my brother and sisters. The things I've done wrong in the past, I wanted to make sure I could rectify and make up for as I grew stronger to protect them."
"When Laxus became the guild master, he made sure to let everyone that was there know where he stood about the situation. He was hurt, angry as all hell. Our friend Gray and his parents made a comment that got many people upset and from there the guild started to divide. Those of us still left today were the ones who wanted to change the past and keep our family together."
"Gray fullbuster, tell me what he said." Wendy asked.
"He told everyone there that they had zero right to treat Natsu the way they did, and yet they pointed the fingers back at him for his actions. Being the only one here affected by Natsu in their own way, he was the only one who could say anything."
"Did he leave the guild?"
"Not at first, others requested he be removed which got the burner as Laxus cared for his brother. After two years, Gray had decided to move out of Magnolia and live with his family, our fellow guildmate and friend Juiva becoming his wife."
Happy for his friend, Natsu then asked about Laxus, seeing how he might have changed.
"I've become more trustworthy of those that had stayed by my side and the guild then I could admit." He seemed happy with his answer, but held back which made Natsu go for his tongue, wanting answers.
"The lacrima was destroyed, how've you managed with the dragon slaying particles?" The knowledge Natsu had of this made Laxus lose his more calm exposure, turning more business-like.
"Know more than you let on... Jackal." Laxus said, getting up and heading out to the back courtyard. "Come, I'll show you what's happened." Laxus called from the door frame.
Natsu stood up and walked over, the rest of the group following. Outside was a few benches and tables. Nothing much and nothing really new since they left. Seems the grandson was as stingy as his old man.
"So I take it you're a dragon slayer as well? No, you're different..." Laxus could get no smell from him nor the group he was with.
"Show me what you got Laxus." Natsu said watching as the male had took a tall pose and crossed his arms, closed his eyes a bit.
The moment they opened, the gravity in the area had increased greatly around the two of them, neither being affected really. The ground however began breaking apart as pieces started to fly up and begin breaking down to nothing. Black clouds covered the sky and the entire city of Magnolia was covered within a thunder cloud, lightning covering the border as a wall.
With what Natsu and the older ones of the group could tell, Laxus had reached a level of dragon slayer that truly hadn't been seen since the supposed slayer Acnologia, who all knew wasn't a slayer, but a true blooded dragon.
His strength had easily increased past what Natsu had expected, granted he didn't believe so many years had passed. Laxus looked as old as he did last he saw him, maybe a year or two older at the most. However, thanks to the dragon magic within him, he had adapted to it flawlessly.
Before the group and Natsu stood the most powerful Dragonslayer Earthland had ever seen. With a sudden release of breath, a powerful wind gust had pushed Natsu back, the ground being impaled with his feet leaving trenches.
"Alright next question for you." Natsu said, walking up to Laxus with a smile. "Have you found a mate for your blood line?"
The question brought Laxus to laugh as the sky cleared and everything went back to normal. The girls in the group wondered what Natsu was getting at and the kids just wanted to ignore that they just heard that.
"Sadly I would rather keep that one personal." Laxus said, putting a hand on Natsu's shoulder. "You really should've put up a better spell or such if you thought I couldn't get a scent off you." Laxus pointed out which got Natsu to realize how smart Laxus is, and always was.
"There's no fooling you, you're still the strongest mage I've ever known."
"How's life been, Natsu?"
"Great, now that I can talk to you again, old friend." Not surprised that Laxus found out, having a feeling he had a hunch the entire time.
The two old buddies hit it off, the taller one having great joy with Natsu's return. He gave a crack about the 'old friend' as if they were old men already. Laxus laughed it off.
"Oh and Wendy, I know that's you." He pointed to her, right next to Rory. "Can't pull that twin stuff with me." With the jig up, the group dropped their disguise. Wendy went running into a mad sprint and tackled the blonde man who still stood tall and didn't even budge. What an absolute monster...
"Well fill us in, how's things been for you?" Levi couldn't believe her 'older brother' had returned and ran into his awaiting arms.
Wendy and Natsu gave proper introductions, told them how they've been and what was rather new. Stories from both sides went and they got along like old times.
With a rather sudden request, Nastu jumped to the point why he wanted to see them. He asked them both the question he'd been meaning to, Levi however refused to leave till she was ready in case her mate came back. She was hopeful Gajeel was alive somewhere and would make it back home to them, saying she could feel it in her bond. Her canines had truly become like a dragon slayers. No doubt she's been turned for a while, if say a good ten maybe twelve years.
Knowing that first hand, Natsu understood and left her the option regardless of time passed. Being the mate of a slayer gave them the same attributes, which explained why even Levi hadn't aged much either but grew in the proper areas.
Laxus however thought about the idea. With where the guild stood now, he be in a very good spot to hand it over to Elfman once he came back from a mission with the thunder legion.
Hearing word that Elfman was ok and not taken away gave Natsu a sigh of relief. Finding out he hooked up with and married Evergreen, shocked him. Granted he wasn't the best at the romantic touch back then but still, he was a blockhead.
"Are you sure you'd allow me to accompany you? I don't want to impose-."
"You're a brother to us Laxus, more than welcome." Wendy said as she finally let go of him. "Plus I would like to have someone around who could help me spar when Natsu isn't busy..." She meant when he is in bed with the rest of the harem.
"Hmm, well I will pack a few things of mine then. When Elfman returns tomorrow I'll hand him the keys to the joint."
"First thing I want to address and change right now..." Ophis said, walking up to the male. "Natsu did this for Mikey over there, and I feel it's only right to ask if you wish the same."
"Great idea mum, I was gonna ask that later." Natsu said, happy his mom thought like him.
"Laxus, would you throw away your last name and become a child of Dragneel?"
Not understanding the question at first, Ophis clarified.
"I will be giving you the chance to have your blood become the same as Natsu's, mine own. Thus making you my legitimate child. Granted the process could hurt a bit if you're not strong enough, but from what we've just witnessed, you should handle very well."
Laxus looked his options over. He loved his Grandfather, but really hated his dirtbag father. His poor mother left him in this world a few years after birth, losing a battle with a sickness that was draining her. With what he felt was right, he agreed to be taken in as Ophis' child. She smiled at him, and only requested he say one thing first and from now on when addressing her.
Making the male blush he staggered but agreed.
"Mother?" Oh so happy with hearing that, Ophis jumped up and gave him a quick peck on the forehead and proceeded with the blood seal. Soon Laxus' whole body began to pulse as his scales faded in and out a few times before going away.
He soon stood at his full height and requested to have some help walking inside to have a seat. Natsu offered himself to lean on as Laxus' heavy frame slowly made its way inside and to a seat.
"I have a question for you Laxus, you feel alright to talk?"
"I'm fine, thank you Jenna." Laxus assures her with a smile.
"When it comes to mating- and now that you'll be of royal bloodline, have you ever felt someone calling out to you through your senses? I mean prior of course to the new blood."
"Yes actually, however she had left this place over a decade ago."
"It was Lucy wasn't it." Natsu said with a slight knowing smile.
"Actually, not her. At least I don't think it was her."
"Was the one you think you had a calling for part of the guild?"
"No... She was the princess. Hisui."
"Hmm, I could see you two having cute kids." Natsu said as he started coming up with possible babies.
"I'm not in a rush, my body needs to steady itself. That lacrima before really did a number on me, the Demonic poison didn't help either, but what you did no doubt saved my life."
"You would've done the same for me. I wasn't gonna let you go out like a wimp." Natsu teased.
"So this whole mating thing... Are they set up for everyone?"
"Actually yes, dragon wise. We dragons have a bond with our mates before we even meet them, some force behind all creation getting us set up. Me for example, I have multiple mates and I feel more on the way as much as they hate to share me." Natsu said only for Rory to hit him.
"You might have found a mate, and now that you're of our blood there's a good chance you may have a few." Yasaka said as she proceeded to head over to the bar and pull out a bottle.
"Even though I wasn't born a dragon?"
"The bonding and mating is predetermined far beyond us that all of it is rather plainty destined. Our entire conversation here and long with your choices have been decided. By who? Most likely the dragon gods of creation, my and Igneel's respective parents." Ophis said as she welcomed the new son to their group.
"Before you said she left this place… You didn't mean the princess actually came here?" Wendy stumbled.
"She did actually. However she's been in exile since the capital was attacked years ago. She's still in the kingdom to my knowledge, and was here for over a year. She left however once a client from the kingdom capital saw her and tried ratting her out." Laxus said as he looked at his hands.
"The King had been forced to make a withdrawal from the castle and is most likely nearby. He's quite old now, so I wouldn't be surprised his daughter takes the reins soon."
The group continued to talk, Laxus finding out about Natsu's mates and now his large family. Ophis gave a lay down of how things were in their new world, saying how wars there were on different planes which most of the actual human world was just as scary and violent as the others. Their lack of magic andpulation was rather outstanding, and their scientific advancements put them in the same plane as the others who were thought far above them.
Night slowly arrived, and Laxus by no means wouldn't delay telling them there was plenty of room at the guild for them all. Fairy Hills no longer was females only, so there were plenty of rooms open since the guild hadn't been filled for years. Good timing as well, as Seilah arrived with about a dozen books all wrapped up and in a bag laced around her shoulder like a duffle bag. Rory offered to take the books, the tow of them having a silent conversation through their eyes. The elder dragoness nodded, handing her bag over and the two of them went to go share a room for the night. Leaving the others to decide for themselves.
They took up on the offer, and offered a feast in return. Feeling it was only right to support the cause, Laxus offered to head to the best butcher in town. Mikey offered to come help his uncle who welcomed it. Seeing Mikey go for it, his sister jumped to do the same which got their parents to laugh. Kunou pulled herself away from her dad to be by her siblings, having great interest in seeing more of the town.
Natsu offered to keep looking around at the town, as he pulled his disguise back up. His blonde hair replaced his salmon locks and he put on a pair of shades to cover his eyes which were burning bright. Ophis joined him along with Jenna and Rory. Yasaka stayed behind to continue admiring the alcohol and spotted aged fire whiskey which happened to be her shared favorite along with Natsu's.
X_X (Guild Hall- Next day afternoon)
With the feast over from last night, the group was slowly now just getting up. They had a great night, and the kids all hung out and passed out early on with the youngest of them, the dragon slayer tiring first. The 3 older kids looked on at their new friend and felt a good chance of forming a great friendship with him. Leroy was indeed younger then them, but it was safe to say he was their first friend from their original home world. Having little doubt that they'd be more than able to visit and hang out in the future the 3 canines pulled the younger dragonslayer up into their cuddle and fell asleep.
With it now being the afternoon the group members started waking up now. Levi on one hand was too caught up in how cute it was seeing the kids all together like that. Ophis informed her that she'd be more than willing to offer her the same deal as Laxus, which despite having very strong feelings for Natsu and co., asked to have some time to think about it.
Ophis nodded in understanding. She then offered to help make the next meal which Levi took kindly. With the two moms now busy away in the hall's kitchen, the rest of the group began talking more about things and just waiting for Elfman and the thunder legion to arrive.
"So Laxus, anything you'd want to do before we leave?" Nastu asked his brother.
"... I think there is one thing I have to do." Without saying another word, he grabbed his coat and with a determined smirk, walked out the main doors.
Not knowing what he was up to, Natsu just decided to let the man go do his thing. Seeing off to the side, his kids were cuddled up with Leroy. The two canine mothers also took in the sight, each taking one of Natsu's sides. The three adults looked over the kids, and just wished this peaceful moment could last forever. Thinking little bit about their younger moments like this.
Truly there was nothing they wanted more than to make sure their kids grew up far better then they did. Feeling their grips tighten on Natsu's, the two swore that they'd kill anyone who'd dare impair their lives. This 'Family' that wants them dead, will be the ones buried 6 ft under, if theres any bodies left to bury.
Coming out of the kitchen with mixed trays of food, Levi and Ophis called them to one of the large tables to eat. Doing so, they woke up the kids and brought their sleepy heads on over. The rest of the crew showed up and began eating.
As they finished their first meal of the day, Laxus ended up coming back, opening the doors wide. Behind him was Elfman and the rest of the Thunder Legion. Natsu finished the food in his mouth and got up to greet Elfman. The gentle giant of a man was at a loss of words. Natsu greeted him warmly and they shook hands. However that was not enough for the giant, who then pulled the pinket into a bear hug. Apparently Laxus already told them on their way here about the change of hands. The Legion was sad to hear this, but were promised that Laxus would come and visit time permitting.
They caught up quickly as more people arrived at the doors. Those being Erza, her sister and mother. Natsu was caught off guard with how pretty Irene is, and could have sworn he froze completely at the sight of her. She had not aged a single day. He was stuck standing still in front of her.
"My Natsu, you've sure become handsome." She smirked, bringing her hand to case his face. "I wonder if my youngest sister Anna had the chance to teach you kids like she always wanted. I know you had a crush on her loverboy." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Natsu for one was blushing madly. He was putty in her hands. Deciding to stop teasing the boy she got serious. With a straight face, she pulled him into a very tight hug and thanked him over and over again for taking care of her daughters and reuniting them with her. Ophis for one came over and offered her support for her old friend and youngest half sister.
News of their relationship went through the ranks but Natsu wasn't one to point out he knew the truth and just lied to Erza and Kyouka earlier. In fact, their mother was never one to boost this, but in all reality she had a large family. Ophis being the oldest of her siblings.
"Yes, Ophis is my eldest sister, half through our shared father." Erza looked at her mom who already informed both daughters of this, lessening the amount of those present shock. "I put a spell on Kyouka because of my fear of that bastard… She was brought up as a half breed, and when I was lost to the world after leaving their father I had Erza kept as a human baby. Had her raised in a small church unbeknownst to her it was time warped, thus free from the outside world and her Uncle's wrath. She remained the same age till the spell broke off and the rest from there is history."
Wendy and Rory went and hugged their cousins tightly before going to meet their aunt. Wendy of which had not seen much of before. Irene gave each girl a head pat and gave them many complements.
"So thats why everyone came around the repetitive '7' date." Wendy pointed out.
"Thats how it worked out yes. Thankfully that was when brother decided to go into his deep slumber. A long yet very short eight years sleeping, waiting for when the rest of us come out of hiding to face him." Irene stated as she recalled her brother, tightening her fist in anger.
"So Ophis, where's Esdeath, you've kept her nearby when the two of you left right?"
"Yes. She's alright and in fine health, it'll be good to have some sister bonding time when we get back." Ophis smiled.
"I only wish Anna could've been here… She'd love to see how the kids have grown." Irene looked down as her baby sister came to mind along with past memories.
"Speaking of Aunt Anna, have you run into Lucy in your travels at all, Elfman?" Natsu asked the giant of a man.
"A-Aunt Anna?" He did not know who they meant by that.
"Lucy… Lucy is a descendant of our Aunt." Wendy pointed out as now she saw much more why Natsu had feelings for the blonde female.
The group talked more, a shame no one had run into Lucy for a few years now. Levy made note that she had also lost connections with her best friend, and tried reaching out to her prior residences but had gotten nothing in return.
"Well, so auntie," Rory asked her aunt who she is now just meeting. "You're coming back with us… right?" She asked with her eyes begging like a little puppy. Having the eldest red head go heart struck.
"Y-yes. Absolutely!" She said, pulling Rory into a very tight embrace.
"Becareful Rory, mother here has a thing for lolis." Kyouka joked, but wasn't lying.
The woman blushed but didn't deny it. Soon the group all gathered up for another feast and a newer guild member offered to take a picture of the group to hang up in the hall. A sort of memento, to remind people here who this guild is important to and what legends once bled, sweat and cried here. And not to forget, party harder than anyone else in all of Fiore.
No one had any reason to say no and Natsu wanted everyone there in the picture. Because it didn't matter if the others weren't guild members, here in FairyTail, everyone is family. With his family and friends here, he smiled brightly and went straight to the stage to take the picture. His kids ran to his side with smilies on their faces. Wendy and Erza joined next.
"Come on guys, let's take the picture! Oh don't forget to make extra copies so we can have our own!" Luna yelled in joy.
"Sigh, this family of ours is as lively as ever isn't it?" Irene asked looking at Ophis who had a small tear roll down her face, a smile taking shape as she agreed.
"Yes, and no one will ever be able to separate us. Come little sister, let's take a photo together. From here on out, let's make endless amounts of memories together." She grabbed Irene's hand and pulled the red head nearly off her feet to the group.
Taking their place next to one another, they stood next to their kids with Laxus being behind them as the tallest. With the first photo being just a family photo, the next had the Thunder legion and Levy along with her son. Then everyone got in for the third and final photo.
As expected photobombs are very common, and in the very last one both Luna and Kunou gave their brother Mikey a kiss on each cheek. Shocking the young male as his face went bright red, blushing madly. Seeing the photo later the older adults just laughed while Wendy went to mess up Mikey's hair. The bluette really started to look after the wolf boy as though he was her baby brother. However his actual sisters pouted and asked Wendy to leave their brother's teasing to them which she laughed and allowed with a smile.
Noon turned to dusk, and everyone was ready for what came next. Ophis prepared a portal back home. Laxus made final arrangements and had the guild signed over to Elfman. With what he believes is the only stuff worth taking packed in a few tubs and boxes he bid his farewell to his home world. Rory for one was more than willing to help him adjust alongside Wendy when they got back home.
Laxus for one was glad to see he was able to get along with his new family, and for the first time in his life has a mother. The story behind his original birth mother was one he never brought up before to most, only a few of the guild in the golden years knew of her and her tragic fate…
Now was a new life ahead of him, one he was looking forward to now that he had no chains binding him to paperwork. From here on out, his new life starts now.
The group bid their farewells, and headed to Earth. The kids had plenty of questions for Laxus, asking how he got certain scars and so forth. The barrage was relentless which got the mothers to giggle.
X_X ( Home )
The group returned, new numbers among their ranks. Natsu called out to Mira and Lisanna, not having them respond triggered his brain to panic, he rushed to their room to find them taking good care of one another…
He blushed madly and the two sisters stared at them in spite. Their eyes doing all the talking. He knew what was going to come next and he had no say in the matter. He gulped, sighed and closed the door behind him. Walking to the others, his clothes burned away in flames before dying out in a meer moment.
The two girls spread open a bit for enough room between them and he filled that spot instantly. They began getting rough with him before long they were at it like beasts.
With Irene and her sister Ophis; they went to go see Esdeath, the light-blue haired woman was currently sipping some tea in the garden area, enjoying the nice weather and how quite it was. That quickly changed the moment a scent reached her nose and her eyes went wide.
"Well now if it isn't Esdeath. How've you been sister?" Irene said as she made her presence known assured.
"Irene... " She got up, turned and wiped tears coming down her cold cheeks.
The two of them quickly ran to hug one another very tightly, Ophis standing close by a pillar which she then turned to lean on. Just watching two of her younger sisters reunite brought joy to her heart. However, she was soon beaconed on over to join the hug which she did.
X_X
A/N: That's a long chapter, thought about splitting it, but decided against it. Overall I love the characters of Fairy tail, with a complete hype for Laxus being my favorite. So yeah, I added Laxus to the family, he's still not at his full potential nor at full strength as it'll take some time before he gets there. Most likely having the Death goddess fall for him, something that I'm picturing will be a perfect match.
The whole idea of this 'Family' group I created is a means to get an actual threat to the Dragneel family along with the DxD universe itself since it lacks such.
Natsu's harem (As-of-now): the fairies, Sayla, Kyouka, Yasaka, Jenna, Serafall, and Rory. Akeno along with Rias might have second thoughts, but not conformed as of yet. Issei will still have his girls, minus the ones mentioned above if the story turns. As for Helena we'll just have to wait and see. *The four death goddesses are a possible addition, but that's still up for whatever fate I decided for them… Maybe a possible connection to Helena?
But if you want to add someone to the harem, I'm listening to your words. I will ignore ones that are too farfetched. So tell me what you think. (Reviews along with PMs are the best way to hear ya.)
