"How did it come to this? Even after the help from my second origin and the others. I'm still not strong enough to protect my family," those were the thoughts going through Natsu's head as everyone lay dead around him.
He fought long, fought hard against future Rogue and the seven dragons with everyone. However, it didn't take long for only the dragon slayers to still be fighting against the dragons.
Future Rogue quickly restrained his X791 counterpart keeping him alive as his dragons laid waste to Crocus.
If the current Rogue were to die or kill himself, all his plans would be ruined.
Where is Natsu? He is the last one still standing, or he was before he collapsed to the ground. Keeping his arms in a pushup position, refusing to back down with a look of anguish shooting across his face.
Not taking his eyes off future Rogue for even a millisecond as he watched the deranged tyrant jump off Motherglare.
He stands before Natsu. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen," future Rogue taunts. He pushes Natsu's arm with his foot, seeing if he was still strong enough not to fall on the ground.
"If you think I'm done, you got another thing coming, Rogue," Natsu retorted, giving off the most intimidating glare he could. However, Future Rogue just laughed at this, as Natsu isn't able to stand.
"Say goodbye, Natsu Dragneel, son of the Fire Dragon King Igneel!" Future Rogue spat. He waved his hand downward, signaling Motherglare to do the finishing blow and end the world's last hope of salvation.
Motherglare brought his right hand up, then back down onto Natsu with all his might smashing him into the earth. Shattering rock around him and creating a crater at least 6 feet deep.
Motherglare then pulls his hand out of the ground causing all the shattered earth and rubble to fall inward. Thus, covering what remains of Natsu's body and creating a proper burial for him.
"Now that he's out of the way, it's time to find and eliminate Acnologia for good!" Future Rogue thought as they jumped back on top of Motherglare before signaling him to take off with the rest of the five dragons in tow, going off to search for the famed chaos Dragonslayer.
Elsewhere
"Wha-where am I?" Natsu questioned as he woke up, floating in an endless black void, as he stood up looking around and saw nothing for miles upon miles on end.
"Natsu! Get a hold of yourself! You're not in the afterlife, well, not yet at least." said a mysterious deep traveling voice
"Wait... that voice... it sounds so familiar... No! It can't be! is that... Igneel?" Natsu asked weakly, hoping that Future Rogue didn't find Igneel on his quest for Acnologia, killing him as well.
"So now you can hear me! I bet you wished you paid this much attention when I was training you, brat!" the voice of Igneel roared. Natsu cringed, he never really did pay much attention during their training sessions, and maybe if he did, he would have been strong enough to save his friends...
"What's that's suppose to mean, old man! And more importantly, where are we?" asked a disgruntled Natsu.
"You are in place between the world of the living and the afterlife," said a mysterious third Voice. Natsu jumps well, flotes in shock, curious about how many people are stuck in this third plane.
"Who was that! And Igneel, where are you?" asked a slightly confused Natsu as he heard the snap of a finger.
Moments later, the black void turned crimson red. Natsu realized he was in the presence of both his father and a massive all-black dragon.
Looks like a fire dragon. Still, it was three times the size of Igneel, staring him down with his humongous, ruby-red eyes.
"Natsu, I would like you to meet the God of all dragons, Osiris!" Igneel announced Natsu had a sense of realization wash over him.
Natsu is left speechless, this massive all-black dragon is the God of all dragons, and Igneel, his father, knows him personally.
"Thank you, Igneel, but I think it's time you explain to him what's going on. One more thing, here is a gift from me to you for proving yourself worthy. I give you my mark. With it, you will have access to stronger, more powerful Flames," Osiris placed his right index claw over Natsu's heart.
A mark appeared on Natsu's left pectoral about the same size as his guild mark. It was a black silhouette of a dragon's face as he stared right at you.
"What do you mean, more powerful flames? I have Igneel's flames!" declared a slightly confused Natsu, making all present dragons rumble in deep, throaty laughter.
"Simple, there are flames stronger than that of a fire dragon. I'm not speaking of those cheap imitation flames that self-proclaimed Fire God Slayer was throwing around on Tenrou Island!" Osiris explained, resulting in a chuckle from all three of them.
"You can say that again! Unless he learned his magic from a real God, he doesn't deserve to say his flames are stronger than mine!" Natsu declared with a proud grin adorning his face.
"The flames I'm talking about are Purgatory, Hellfire, and Azure Dragons Slayer flames. All are stronger than a regular fire dragon's, but his flames are second to none since the Fire Dragon King taught you. I've seen both Purgatory and Azure dragons challenge him for his crown, but none prevailed. Hellfire dragons were the only ones smart enough not to question his power," Osiris explained. Igneel puffs his chest in pride and blows a large stream of fire into the air.
"Yep! That sounds like dad never letting anyone showing him up." Natsu said with a proud grin resulting in a chuckle from Igneel.
"Yes, Igneel is the strongest fire dragon of his time. Back to what I was saying, this mark will teach you how to conjure those flames and make them your own. First off, Azure dragon flames are blue and burn far hotter than Purgatory Flames and the Hellfire Flames that Atlas was using"
"Atlas flame... Do you mean the dragon that's body was covered in flames that future Rogue was controlling?" Natsu asked curiously.
Igneel looks to the ground with respect to his old friend. Osiris growl in anger, mad beyond belief that his subjects were being controlled as if they were simple cattle, herded during milking season.
"Yes, he is quite the formidable Dragon, and he was a dear friend of your father," Osiris said. Making Igneel proud that in the end, his friend stood with his son, even though he died trying.
"So, how many different flames are there when it comes to dragons?" Natsu asked with a hint of excitement, making his father chuckle in amusement.
"There are four flame types for fire dragon flames from weakest to strongest they're fire, Hellfire, Purgatory, and Azure flames. However, since you wield the flames of Igneel, they are far hotter than the Azure dragon flames. This mark is meant to prepare you, Igneel. Do you want to finish," Osiris said, looking to Igneel to finish the explanation to the rowdy Dragon Slayer who had begun to fidget with his hands?
"The knowledge you learn from his mark will help you learn and master fire dragon king mode. Flames that are so hot any dragon capable of those flames is the undisputed Fire King!" Igneel said with a proud grin and tone, making Natsu literally shake in excitement.
"To be more precise, Fire Dragon King mode is simply a boost to any flames. This meaning you can make the Azure flames much stronger in Fire Dragon King mode than out of it. Another thing is that once you've masted the mark, you will technically be considered a god slayer with magic meant to slay a dragon god." Osiris said, making Natsu a little scared and excited all at once.
"Wait, are you saying I won't be a dragon slayer anymore once I'm done learning what the mark has to offer?" Natsu asked, a little scared to lose the proud title of dragon slayer that he has grown to love.
"Yes and no. You are still a dragon slayer and will retain all the dragon traits your magic is meant to defeat. But, you will have flames equal to that of a God. So, to use God Slayer spells is to simply add the word God to your chant when casting your spells," Osiris said, making Natsu calm down.
"Sweet wait, what's your element anyway?" Natsu asked curiously, making both Osiris and Igneel burst out in laughter.
"My element, all of them, unlike dragons, Gods, and their slayers, I'm not bound by an element. I can go back and forth between them or combine them if I so choose. That reminds me, bravo for learning another element. You're just lucky you didn't have to learn it the hard way," Osiris said with a slight chuckle, making Natsu curious about what the hard way is.
"Have to thank Laxus for that one, otherwise who knows if we would of beat Hades," Natsu says with a chuckle of his own.
"Now that we have that out of the way, do you know why you are here, Natsu?" Osiris asks, making Natsu remember that he is technically dead, so why did he just get new flames.
"Not a clue. The last thing I remember was that I was fighting future Rogue, and now I'm here. So why am I here, anyway? I thought I was supposed to be dead," Natsu said calmly, making Igneel cringe at how casually his own son was talking about his death.
"You're here because Igneel asked me to bring you here. This is the second time he has asked for my help," Osiris said, making Igneel growl in annoyance, as Natsu was not supposed to know about that.
"Wait, what do you mean by the second time," Natsu said curiously, making Osiris cringe almost unnoticeably, as he was not supposed to bring that up.
"That is a question for another time. I helped because I am the strongest of all the gods, being both a Dragon and having the immortality and power of a God. Therefore none have the strength to oppose me, allowing me to do whatever I choose. Furthermore, I am the one who created dragons, and I feel responsible for their untimely destruction. And as a result, I will help my creation if they can swallow their pride and ask. Igneel was the only one willing to do so," Osiris said with an amused tone making Igneel twitch in annoyance.
"Ok, dad's not afraid to ask for help when needed, got it. Now why am I here again," Natsu said plainly, making Osiris sigh at this hatchling's impatience.
"Simple, I'm giving you a second chance to stop the dragons from the past from ruining the future," Osiris said with a severe tone. Thus, making Natsu happy, as he will be able to save his friends.
"Sweet! But wait, what about the other dragon slayers" said a worried Natsu, as he doesn't want to bear this burden alone.
On cue, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue appear on both sides of him. None of his fellow dragon slayers were awake. Instead, they seem like they were in a deep sleep and four more dragons. Behind Gajeel was a dragon similar to Igneel, but it looked like his body was made of metal. The next three dragons were of similar sizes appearing behind Wendy, Sting, and Rogue, respectively.
"Igneel, I think you should introduce your friends to your slayer before he loses focus again!" Osiris said, seeing the dazed look on Natsu's face.
"You're right, Natsu. I would like you to meet the dragon who raised and taught your fellow slayers. Behind Gajeel is Metalicana the Iron Dragon, behind Wendy is Grandeeney the Sky Dragon, behind Sting is Weisslogia, the White Dragon, and finally behind Rogue is Skiadrum the Shadow Dragon," Igneel said sternly. Hoping Natsu paid attention.
"Oh hi, and why are they here as well," was Natsu's simple response as he waved to the dragons around him.
"They're here because Igneel asked me to bring them here," Osiris interjected, causing Natsu to look straight at Igneel.
"Yeah, why are we here, and more importantly, where the hell has you been. Why did you leave? I searched everywhere for you, tracked every rumor I heard," said Natsu with a sad audible tone in his voice, making Igneel sigh in sadness. However, he didn't want to tell Natsu he wasted so much time.
"Tell him he deserves to know ALL OF IT," Osiris said in a commanding tone leaving no room for arguing.
Igneel hesitated for a second before telling Natsu EVERYTHING with one exception. Natsu didn't need to know that one at the moment. To say Natsu was shocked was a massive understatement; Natsu stood there for who knows how long, thinking over the new revelation at his feet.
"So you left to hide inside our bodies to stop our magic from turning us into dragons. To wait for a time to eliminate Acnologia," Natsu said with his head down, summing up the whole story.
"Yes, that was part of it. We didn't tell any of you because we wanted you all to live your lives the way the humans do," Igneel said in shame, making Natsu scratch his head, unsure of how he is supposed to feel.
"To be honest, it's that not that big of a deal. I would have been fine if you actually said goodbye before you left." Natsu said as a tear started rolling down his face.
"I know, but if we did, you would start asking questions, and one thing always leads to another," Igneel said
"I still can't believe I'm E.N.D, the younger brother of Zeref," Natsu said, refusing to lift his head and look anyone in the eyes.
"I know, that's why I specifically decided to teach you Dragon slayer magic. I didn't want you to be restrained by your E.N.D powers. Instead, I wanted you to be your own person using magic that suits your personality before you died with your parents." Igneel said with a slight chuckle.
"Ok, now that I know where I came from, what do we do now," Natsu said, making Osiris interject.
"Now, we prepare for round two. I will be sending you back along with your fellow dragon slayers to the day your dragons disappeared. And I think it would be a good idea if we unlock your E.N.D powers. Only you have the power to stop Tartarus as their true guild master," Osiris said, making Natsu a little nervous and uncomfortable.
"Do I have any say in the matter about my E.N.D powers?" Natsu said sternly, making Osiris look him straight in the eyes. Curious why Natsu does not want more power than other slayers Osiris had seen before him, like Acnologia.
"Yes, Igneel can unlock them now or later. When you are ready to bear the burden of your power," Osiris said sternly, making Natsu let out a sigh of relief.
"Wait, will I be the only one to remember the old timeline," Natsu said curiously, making Igneel proud that he wasn't a complete idiot.
"I can if you want, but I don't want too many people to know what's going on... that reminds me. Your mate was at the center of it all," Osiris said casually, making Natsu's face erupt in an explosion of red.
"My mate, do you mean Ultear," Natsu said with a faint blush making Igneel burst out in laughter, having never seen his son react like that before.
"Yes, she, unfortunately, ran into Hades after he became a dark mage. I shall bring her here now, now decide if there is anyone else I shall gather to make the future safe." Osiris said as he retrieved Ultear.
Natsu pondered on who else he wanted to remember as well. The only person who comes to mind is Mystogan. However, this train of thought didn't last long as Ultear suddenly appeared right next to him with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Whoa, where am I," Ultear said aloud, trying to find her bearing before her eyes landed on the pink-haired dragon slayer.
"Hi, Ultear," Natsu said with a sheepish grin, making a very slight blush appear on her face.
"Natsu, what are you doing here? But, more importantly, where are we, and why are their dragons around us along with the other dragon slayers!" Ultear said, slightly scared of the giant black dragon, especially after the terror they just experienced due to Future Rogue.
"You are here because Igneel asked for my help," said Osiris deciding to fill the women in on what was going on. First, making her remember Igneel was rumored to be Natsu's father, having learned that while researching Grimoire Heart.
Ultear took one last look at the Osiris before deciding to hold on to Natsu with all her might, not realizing it, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Thus, causing Natsu to blush even further, making his skin Darker than Igneel's scales.
"Well, you see, Ultear, the big black dragon in front of us is Osiris, the God of all dragons. And what's going on is that Future Rogue and seven dragons from the past basically killed everyone in Crocus, including me, you, and the other slayers," Natsu said, making Ultear calm down slightly.
"That still doesn't explain why I'm here," Ultear said, finally letting go of Natsu with a prominent blush on her face.
"Well, as for why you are here, it's because Osiris is going to send me back in time, and you're here so I can have some help. And you're also my mate," he said nervously, making Ultear's eyes shoot open in shock.
"Mate, what do…. wait do you mean what I think you mean," Ultear said with a deeper blush growing on her face making Natsu blush as well.
"As in my one and only mate to spend the rest of my life with... yes," Natsu said with an equally vibrant blush on his face.
"You two love birds can finish the conversation later, Natsu. Is there anyone else you want to be in on this when I send you back in time?" Osiris said, making their blushes grow to the point they quickly put Erza hair to shame from the fact the God of Dragons is calling them out on their growing romance.
Just as Osiris finished, a seal appeared out of thin air next to him with the spirit king's crest on it, and it opened to reveal Loke in the flesh walked through.
"Figured the spirit king would want to help, and he sent the leader of the zodiac no less," Osiris said. Loke bow in respect, being addressed by the strongest of the Gods.
"Loke, what are you doing here," Natsu said, slightly shocked that his guildmate showed up out of the blue.
"Sorry to barge in like this, Osiris, but the spirit king wanted to help however he can. And since I'm still a member of Fairy Tail, who better to help Natsu than me," Loke said, making Osiris nod his head in agreement.
"Very well, then... I assume you know what's happening in Earthland right now," Osiris said, making a frown to replace Loke's usual playboy smirk.
"Regrettably, yes, I and the rest of the Zodiac spirits wished we could've known sooner. And stopped the eclipse gate from opening," Loke said with a solemn tone, feeling slightly responsible for the death of his friends and family.
"Don't we all... But back to the matter at hand, Natsu, it looks like you have one more person to help you on your journey... Is there anyone else?" Osiris said, making Natsu remember about the blue-haired prince.
"Yes, I only want one more person. I want Mystogan to know as well," Natsu said, making Osiris sigh, given his current location.
"That will be tricky to do even for me since he is in another dimension. But it shall be done," Osiris said as he went to work on retrieving Mystogan from Edolas.
"So Natsu, who's the lovely Lady next to you," Loke said as he put his arm around Natsu's neck, making both of them blush.
"Loke, this is Ultear. She's my, my, my" Natsu struggled to say the rest. Luckily for him, Ultear was there to help him out.
"Mate, I'm his mate. That's why I'm here, as he put it," Ultear said, causing her blush to deepen even more as Loke laughed, never having seen this coming.
"Really? Everyone else in the guild and spirit world thought you were going to hook up with Lucy!" Loki said, a very prominent grin plastered across his face until he remembered how Lucy felt about him.
Natsu didn't know how to respond. But then, a new thought came to mind.
"HAPPY! what am I going to do? Happy wasn't born till X778 along with the other exceeds born in Earthland," Natsu shouted, sad about not seeing his little buddy.
Just then, Mystogan showed up out of the blue. Then his eyes landed on Natsu, causing him to glare, knowing Natsu had something to do with him no longer being in Edolas.
"Natsu, as happy as I am to see you again, why am I not in Edolas anymore?" Mystogan said he made his way towards Natsu, completely missing the 6 dragons in his presence.
"That would be my doing, Prince Jellal of Edolas," Osiris said, catching the attention of the formerly known Mystogan.
"Wait, you brought me here? Why? I was still in the process of rebuilding Edolas. Then everything went black, and now I'm here," Mystogan said, shocked at the fact that a massive black dragon knew who he really was.
"You're here because Natsu needs your help in saving the future. Is there anyone else, Natsu?" Osiris said sternly, making Natsu shake his head no.
"No, that should be it. But, wait, what about the exceeds. Ah man, I got to find Happy's egg again," Said a disgruntled Natsu making Jellal realize he didn't know the full extent of what was going on.
"Wait, before this goes any further... Mind telling me what's going on?" Mystogan said sternly, not like being kept in the dark.
This got a round of nods. Then, after a lengthy discussion, everyone was caught up on what happened and came up with a plan.
Firstly Natsu, Ultear, Mystogan, and the other dragon slayer will be sent back in X777. Panther lily will still retain all his memory from the original timeline and come over to earthland with Mystogan.
At that point, Pantherlily will track down Gajeel and head to fairy tail, and Mystogan will find Wendy and lead her to fairy tail as well and find all of his staff for his magic.
Ultear will be with Natsu when they go back. Both will keep their current level of magic but will both revert in age, which will be one year older than Erza Mystogan will also revert to proper age at the time.
Natsu goes back to have Loke's key and set up a contract until Lucy joins the guild in X784.
Pantherlily will pick up Carla's egg, and Natsu will find Happy egg too when the time comes.
As for the Memory of Wendy, Gajeel, Sting, and Rogue will not have their memory back, and their dragon agreed not to speak a word of this until they reveal themselves.
Natsu will have contact with Igneel the whole time and have access to the other slayer's dragons.
In the new timeline, Ultear never came across Hades after finding her mother. Instead, she went to Fiore. She will be with Natsu when they're sent back.
"Ok, everyone got it?" Natsu asked as he looked around him, getting a round of nods, ensuring everyone knew what was happening.
July 7th X777 In a forest in the middle of nowhere
Out of nowhere, a portal opens up from another dimension. What came was a pink-haired dragon slayer flat of his belly not long after a prominent busted raven-haired girl fell on top of him as well.
"Oh man, Osiris couldn't have given us a better landing," Natsu said tiredly, making Ultear laugh.
"You're telling me that hurt? Well, at least I had someone to break my fall," Ultear said with a grin making Natsu sigh.
"You are so lucky you're my mate. Anyone else would get the boot," Natsu said with a cheeky grin causing said the raven-haired girl to start blushing like crazy.
Natsu, seeing the blush, then decided to prey upon this opportunity as much as possible, saying all sorts of things, causing her blush to deepen.
Ultear was not one to be made fun of. She laid her chest to Natsu's backside with a wicked smile across her face, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning to his ear.
"That reminds me... Care to fill me in on this dragon slayer mate thing? " Ultear said in a sultry tone rubbing her chest to his back, succeeding in causing the dragon slayer to start blushing up a storm, and when he tried to speak, he was a stuttering mess.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the pink-haired dragon slayer stutter. There was a reason Hades had her infiltrate the magic council.
After about of minute of this torture, Natsu manages to get his thought together.
"O-o-only i-if you s-s-s-stop that r-r-right now," Natsu managed.
"Okay." is Ultear's simple response as she got off the dragon slayer, noticing their current clothes.
Natsu is wearing a regular pair of shoes, yellow shorts, and a red jacket with his signature scarf. Ultear was wearing a purple short sleeve shirt with a black skirt that went down mid-thigh, and underneath were black stockings, and to top it off, she wore a pair of black sandals upon her feet.
"Okay, basically the short version of it is as dragon slayer we take on traits of dragon enhanced senses, increase durability and immunity to our elements. However, like a dragon, we also only have one mate, and it's for life, is there anything else?" Natsu asked, wanting to get this all done and over with now, leaving no surprises later.
"I think I get it. My next question is, how exactly is the mate chosen?" Ultear said curiously, making Natsu visibly cringe.
"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. I guess it was just wishful thinking... I honestly don't know. The only thing I can say is I'll know instantly. Having a never-ending drive to claim my mate and protect her till my dying breath," Natsu said with a slight blush looking to the side, unable to see Ultear's response.
Ultear is speechless at finding this out. She has a blush identical to Natsu's. But, of course, this train of thought didn't last long as a short old man with a small hat and a yellow shirt on, and a wooden staff unknowingly wandered upon them.
"Hello there, do you two happen to know where the nearest town is?" said the mysterious man. Natsu's eyes open wide in shock as Ultear was a little uncomfortable, knowing exactly who this was.
"Yeah, we do... but who are you?" Natsu asked, trying to fight off a grin.
"Only if you say yours and hers too," the old man said politely, making a grin bloom on Natsu's face.
"Okay, my name is Natsu Dragneel," He said proudly, making the old man nod as he waited for the young girl's name.
"And my name is Ultear Milkovich," She said politely with a curtsy.
"My name is Makarov Dreyar. Nice to meet you. Now, if you wouldn't mind telling me, what are you two doing out here?" Makarov asked curiously, making Natsu internally grin, knowing exactly what he wanted to say.
"Well... my dad just left the other day because my training was done. So now I have to live my life, as for Ultear, she's my mate," Natsu said nonchalantly caused Ultear to blush like a tomato.
"What do you mean by your mate? and what kind of training do you mean," Makarov said with one eyebrow raised, curious if he found another young child to join his guild.
"This FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" Natsu shouted as a torrent of flames shot out of his mouth in a safe direction, tearing through and obliterating a hundred feet of forest.
To say Makarov was surprised was one thing. Never in his right mind did he think he would run into a dragon slayer in the middle of a forest.
"So I take it you're a dragon slayer, and I assume Ultear being your mate has something to do with it?" Makarov said with pink dusting his cheeks, having had maybe drunk a little too much at the master's meeting.
"Yes and yes," Natsu said proudly, making Makarov come to a decision, but first, he had to know one thing.
"Mind telling me who taught you your magic, young man?" Makarov said kindly
"My father, the fire dragon king Igneel," Natsu said proudly, making Makarov's face go pale white.
"Did you say Igneel is your father?" Makarov said with a ghostly white face, never expecting to run into the Fire Dragon King's son.
"Yeah, but he's not bad or anything. Why? do you know him?" Natsu's child mind asked, completely forgetting what happens with Osiris.
"I don't know him, but my father told me a story of that dragon when I was your age. He was a fierce dragon back when they roamed over this land, and I didn't think he was still around after all these years. Especially after the dragon king festival ended, no one has seen one since then and lived to tell the tale. That was over 400 years ago," Makarov said as his ghostly white face got even whiter, not sure about how strong this young child in front of him was.
"Yeah, dragons lived an awfully long time ago. But we've been in the wilderness the whole time so that nobody could find us," Natsu said with a proud grin. Makarov nods his head in approval, having expected something like that.
Color soon returned to his
face after finding out dragons were still around and then looked at Ultear for a second.
"Okay... Now, why are you here, Ultear, and where did you come from?" Makarov asked, inviting Ultear back into the conversation.
"I'm from the northern continent. I was captured and experimented on until I managed to break out. I knew it was only a matter of time till they found me if I stayed there. So I made my way to Fiore and found a book on my magic arc of time," Ultear said politely. Makarov was shocked, not understanding how she would come across a book on lost magic.
"Okay, but why are you here in the wilderness with Natsu?" Makarov asked sternly, giving Ultear a slight glare for not answering his question.
"Oh, well, you see, when I got to Fiore, I found the book on the arc of time and wandered from town to town, learning from the book. Then I got lost and ran into Natsu and Igneel.
That was a little under a year ago. I've been practicing my magic while Natus learned his," Ultear said, not feeling the pressure from his glare one bit.
"Okay then, since the two of you are wizards, would you like to join my guild then," Makarov gave them a cheeky grin, happy that all of his questions have finally been answered.
"I would love that gramps," Natsu said proudly, making Makarov glare in annoyance.
"I'm not your grandpa," Makarov said, making Natsu grin cheekily.
"But, if I join your guild, you'll be my master, and it will be easier to call you gramps instead," Natsu said with a proud grin making Makarov sigh.
"Fine, then what about you, Ultear? Do you want to join with your mate?" Makarov asked cheekily, making a small blush bloom on her face as she glared at the short old man.
"Yeah, but do you think you can tell us what your guild is?" Ultear asked through gritted teeth, annoyed at the old man's taunting.
"My guild's name is Fairy Tail," He said with a proud grin.
"I would love to join your guild," Ultear said, making Makarov excited to have two lost magic users join his guild on the same day.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Natsu yelled to heaven above as he ran off in a random direction, making Ultear sigh.
"Wait up for me, Natsu!" Ultear said, chasing after him.
"Probably should off told them I don't know the direction first," Makarov said. Tears began streaming down his eyes as he slowly wobbled his way after them.
with Jellal
"Aahhh, panther lily, you're so... so... small," E. Jellal said as he stared down at Pantherlily.
"That's right. You didn't come back with us, well, apparently I lost my original form. However, I can go back to that form for short instances in this world," Pantherlily informed as he looked up to his friend.
"Okay, I guess that makes sense. Well, we better get moving. I gotta find Wendy and take her to fairy tail," E. Jellal said as he looked down at his friend, that he probably wouldn't see for a long time.
"And I have to go get Gajeel, farewell prince Jellal," Pantherlily said, waving his friend off as they went their separate ways, for now.
"Farewell to you too as well, Pantherlily," he walked off, trying to remember where he found Wendy in the first place.
A small blue-haired girl wandered, looking for her mother, who up and left, tears starting to form as she kept going.
"Grandeeney, where are you! " a young Wendy cried out as her vision got blurry from the tears in her eyes.
"There she is, time to introduce myself…..again," E. Jellal thought as he watched Wendy walk around, crying for her mother.
"Grandeeney, where are you!" Wendy cried out again as she wandered onward, not knowing where to go. She did this two more times till she heard movement and turned around to find a tall older boy with the same color hair as her and a red tattoo under his right eye.
"Well, hello there, I didn't think I'd run into anyone out here," He said with a small smile. The smile brought a sense of ease to Wendy.
"Hello sir, I'm Wendy. Who are you?" A young Wendy asked as she bowed to the man in front of her.
"Hello Wendy, my name is Jellal," he grabbed her shoulder to straighten her up.
"Jellal, this may be odd, but did you happen to see a giant white dragon near here," Wendy said innocently, hoping this man would have some insight as to where her mother went.
This caught E. Jellal off guard as he didn't want to lie to Wendy because he does know where Grandeeney is. He promised Natsu he'd keep that secret after getting caught up in what happened in the now old future.
"I'm sorry, Wendy, but I didn't see a dragon anywhere around here, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for him or her. is grandeeney a boy or a girl dragon?" He said with a forced grin that Wendy didn't notice that, thankfully, due to the tears blurring her eyes.
"Grandeeney is a girl, but I don't know where to go... do... Do you mind if I join you" Wendy said with a slight blush
"Of course you can come with me. I'm on my way to join a Wizard Guild. It's called Fairy Tail... Wanna come?" he asked with a warm smile giving Wendy a sense of hope.
"I would like that because I'm a wizard too! I'm a sky dragon slayer," Wendy said with a bright smile.
"Well, in that case, let's make our way to fairy tail," and like that, Wendy and E. Jellal, who will later be known as Mystogan.
Three days later, in Magnolia.
"We're here!" Makarov said proudly, staring at his precious guildhall, ignorant of what's to come.
"Wow, this is amazing," Natsu said, pretending that he doesn't have thousands of good memories from here.
"It's definitely a spectacle," Ultear added, not use to the chaos that is Fairy Tail.
"Well, what are we waiting for? let's get you two your guild stamps." Makarov said with a grin.
"Ready, Ultear?" Natsu asked as he held his hand out for her.
"I would like that, Natsu," she grabbed his hand, ready to embark on their new adventure together.
The trio entered the guildhall, and they got a round of nods from the guild members. After all, why wouldn't you?
Their guild master is gone a few days and comes with two kids holding hands, so why wouldn't their heads be turning.
In particular, one person didn't know what to think and the new wizards, and he was currently wearing nothing but boxers.
"Master, why have you brought two people with you back to the guild?" said a young Erza. They were curious if they were new members or not, hoping they did nothing wrong to her master.
"I brought these two here because they want to join our guild," Makarov said with a grin, making everyone cheer.
"Well, let me get the stamp then," Erza said with a small smile as she went towards the bar to grab the stamp.
While Erza got the stamp, Natsu and Ultear's closeness did not go unnoticed by the guild.
However, no one wanted to be the one to ask whether it was a sibling or a couple's comfort.
"Where do you want it and what color," Erza said as she walked up to the odd couple.
"Right shoulder red please," Natsu said with a grin. Moving his sleeve to make it easier for Erza.
"Right shoulder as well dark purple, please," Ultear said with a small smile, deciding to change it up a bit instead of putting it on her back.
"There you go... Welcome to Fairy Tail, and one more thing, I do not intend to be rude, but what is your relationship since you're holding hands?" Erza said innocently, wanting to know whether she has to prevent them from engaging in indecent activities.
"She's my mate!" Natsu declared proudly, making everyone's eyes shoot open in shock, not understanding why what appeared to be a pre-teen had a mate.
"What!?" The whole of Fairy Tail screamed in shock, hoping that he didn't understand what the word meant and used it wrong.
