New Chapter has arrived.

Author Notes:

/

Jellal is more social than when compared to in the Anime because he was under control for a few minutes, so his personality didn't change so much.

Natsu and Laxus are the richest wizards in the guild.

Jellal and Natsu met before Natsu was sent off to prison.

Almighty Acnologia: Woops out of time Let's Start.

.

Black flames were everywhere setting the surrounding area ablaze...

Burnt bodies covered the ground unaffected by the flames...

Pink hair fluttered in the slow quiet wind contrary to the warfare from moments before...

Natsu had noticed a familiar silver-haired girl lying on her stomach silent, and unmoving. "Mira?" He questioned hopeful yet filled with sadness.

He ran towards the girl and took her in his arms. He turned the girl's body over and froze. The face he had come to remember in his times of despair was gone, replaced by a skull burnt away by flames.

Tears began to flow from his eyes, but his sadness turned to fury. He was ready to repeat his past once more much like he had for Erza. He would not accept anyone hurting his family. "WHO DID THIS?" He roared in overwhelming anger his eyes covered by the slowly moving bangs.

"Who did this, huh?" a voice was heard. Natsu turned his head to the source of the sound and noticed a scarlet armored mage.

"Erza, are you alrig-" Natsu's eyes widened. A familiar scythe had pierced the girl's back and scythe blades appeared through the girl's chest. Natsu recognized the scythe, it was his own. He clenched his fist in anger till blood freely flowed from the new marks on his closed hand. Why didn't he remember any of this? How could all this happen without his own knowledge?

"You did this..." Erza weakly crawled the blade of his scythe ever so present in her back to him. It haunted him the look of fear and weakness in her eyes as she tried to move.

"No," Natsu said weakly scooting back along the ground Mira forgotten as she fell from his arms.

"You killed all of us!" She became faster and crawled him like a zombie. With each one of her movements, she became move aggressive as anger made it's way onto her bloodied face.

"Erza stop... please," He begged as he scooted farther and farther away confused and afraid. He was hoping for this all to be some bad stupid dream. He didn't want to hurt any of them he had done so much so far to protect them.

"You FILTHY MURDERER!" she yelled as her body went limp on the ground unmoving. Natsu covered his head with his hands as he tilted downwards and cried out in sorrow. They were all gone everyone he cared about was burnt away.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" He screamed as the flames got stronger as the wind got wilder and soon the whole world was burnt in the pitch black flames with the only remaining echoing sounds of Natsu's screams.

.

"-AAA" Natsu jumped from his bed, sweat was pouring from his body like he was in hell which wasn't an understatement with the dream he was having. He looks around him and took a long deep breath.

"Nightmare..huh?" He took the pill box from drawer but didn't open it. He weighed the pros and cons of the situation itself. He sat in thought for a while but he put the box back into the drawer. He sat on his bed and took off his now soaking wet t-shirt. He stood up and started heading to the second-floor bathroom. He washed his face and exited the bathroom having started calming down from the nightmare. He went to the balcony he stared at the night starry sky. He had his arms resting on the railing in thought. He reached his arm forward trying to reach the stars. He closed his fist as he tried to take one of the stars into his hand, a fruitless dream. He looked down at the pool which looks ready to swim in.

'Laxus you considerate bastard.' He thought with a smile before he went to his room. He put on a pair of swim short and left the room. Having had grabbed a towel from the bathroom he began to walk. Natsu noticed the blue haired man still sleeping.'You really are exhausted, aren't you?' Natsu commented in thought as he made his way to first floor.

Soon, Natsu found himself in cold water. He removed his upper body from the water and shook his hair. A smile placed on his lips and he relaxed his muscles.

After 30 minutes swimming, Natsu headed to his towel. He wrapped it around his body and dried himself. He stretched his body."Haa... it feels good to be out."

He made his way to inside and noticed Jellal standing in front of him.

"Good Morning, sleeping beauty," Natsu said with a grin. Jellal turned him with a smile.

"Good Morning, Natsu," He replied and pointed his own prison clothes."We need new clothes."

"Yeah,I looked at my wardrobe but my old clothes are too small for me" He stated and headed to the second-floor bathroom. "Take a rest,I'm gonna take a shower."

Jellal sighed and sat down on the couch. He noticed a Sorcerer's Weekly magazine and began to read. "I have to learn about today's mages." He said to himself.

After a while, door knocked. Jellal stood up, but he heard Natsu's voice and sat back.

"It's open." Natsu walked quickly to door with a towel covered his lower body. He finally opened the door. Natsu noticed three girls standing in front of him. They were all blushing because of Natsu's naked upper body. Lucy closed her eyes with her hands. Erza and Mirajane tried to look at his face,just his face… Natsu remembered his dream and shooked his head to force away the daunting images that currently haunted his mind.

"Morning Ladies!" Natsu said with a forced grin trying to hide the current pain.

Mira smiled at him and replied most likely noticing the forced action."Morning Natsu,"

Lucy lowered his hands and looked at the house."Huge!"

Erza sent a serious glance to Natsu and tried to hide her blush. She raised her hand and held out bags in her hand for him to take. "We chose these clothes for you and Jellal,"

"A welcome gift from the three of us," Mira added.

Natsu's eyes widened."Haha, you're all really lifesavers, come on in!" He said as he stepped aside.

The girls entered the house, Lucy was amazed from the inside house just as much as she was on the outside.

Natsu noticed it immediately just from the look of wonder in her eyes. "You can stay here sometime if you want, Lucy," He stated.

Lucy jumped like a child who had just been told they can get a gumball from the gumball machine, with the addition of pink cheeks. She asked full of joy, "Really?"

"NO!" Erza replied defiantly ,her arms were crossed on her belly."Don't trust him, He will try to do indecent things to you. As you lay down in the bed for the night he will-" Natsu walked over to her and did a chop to the back of her head forcing her to pause.

"What!" Lucy gasped and closed her mouth with her hands.

Natsu giggled."Oh, come on Erza, don't scare her like that. I would never do that to her." He said.

As they stood there chatting, Jellal walked near them entering the conversation with a casual greeting "Good Morning,"

"Good Morning, Jellal," They replied with one voice.

Jellal smiled at them. Erza gave the clothes to Natsu and Natsu studied them. "Cool, Jellal look," He said like a child who got early Christmas presents. Jellal approached him skeptical of it would live up to Natsu's expectations.

"Now, go and put some clothes on already!" Erza yelled. Natsu acted like a scared boy who just disobeyed their mom(19 years old).

"Ha-Hai!" He replied as the boys dashed to the second floor, not even for a second looking back. Erza sighed and the girls sat down on the couch in the living room waiting for them to return.

After a while, the men entered the room. Natsu was wearing a black jacket with red and orange markings bottom of it. Grey trousers and black fighting boats, a one-sleeved white shirt appeared through the front of the open jacket. Jellal was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and a long silver-color jacket for his upper body. Along with, a pair of black trousers and brown fighting boats.

Lucy looked at them with stars in her eyes."Great!"

The boys smiled them as a response. Natsu stepped forward. "Did you have breakfast?" He asked.

They shook their heads like "Nope."

Natsu grinned them." Alright, I am taking you to a restaurant as a treat then!"

The girls looked at him with confused eyes. Jellal not long after slapped Natsu's back in faked annoyance. "Oi, what about me?" He asked with a smile.

Natsu scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment. "Ahaha of course, why you're asking?" They laughed at each other. Erza smiled at them. This all reminded her of the moments before everything that happened to them both being sent away from her.

.

-IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT-

.

The five wizards stood in front of the restaurant. Natsu and Jellal allowed the girls to be the first to enter. They thanked them and stepped inside. They ordered what they would like and waited. They chatted during this time about Natsu and Jellal's childhood, along with what happened during the time they were kept in prison.

Boys figure out a new S-Class mage is currently filling the place of Natsu. Natsu learned that he is a gravity wizard and a strong one at that. He was maybe a little excite for a challenge. Finally, their breakfast came to them and they began to eat in joyful chatter. After a while, two boys both being no older than thirteen entered the restaurant. Natsu took in their scent over the smell of all the wonderful food around him and turned his face to them. The blonde one was talking about "...trusting his nose..." to black-haired one.

"Sting, Rogue! Come here take a seat!" Natsu said with a smile. Sting grinned and Rogue smiled. They approached next to them and greeted the other wizards. They took two chairs and sat down next to Natsu.

"Order what you want, it is all on me this time." He said putting a hand on his chest. Sting jumped in joy and slapped Natsu's back, it caused him to cough. "That's my master!"

Natsu glared at him. "I am trying to eat, baka!"

Sting grinned at him in response. Rogue smiled to Natsu ."Thanks, Master." He said hiding his joy much more than Sting.

"Don't mention it." He said as he went back to inhaling his food as the children ordered their respective meals.

.

They finished their meal and headed to Fairy Tail. During the walk back Sting and Rogue stayed in front of Natsu.

"When will our training begin?" They asked with one voice. Natsu sent them a confused look.

"Huh?" He managed to say. Mira joined the conversation. All of the wizards stopped.

"They were waiting for you for a long time, Natsu." She said. Natsu turned his face to boys again.

"I taught you the basics, what is your reason for seeking further training?" Natsu asked with a serious face. If he were to follow through with further training it in no way would be enjoyable, it would be hell.

"I want to surpass the Dark Prince," Sting stated with pride.

"I want to surpass the Black Steel," Rogue replied nonchalantly. Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"For what reason do you wish to pass these benchmarks?" Natsu asked. They looked at him with confused faces. They thought for a while and Sting forced himself to give him an answer.

"I want to be the strongest wizard!" He replied. Rogue stood silent. Natsu turned his face to Sting.

"After that? What will happen after that? Once you become number one what will be your reason to continue to travel forward, to grow stronger?" He asked, still had a serious face. Jellal and girls noticed his unusual expression. They began to slightly worry.

"Natsu?" Erza called but Natsu didn't reply. He was looking at Sting's eyes. Sting couldn't find anything to say. He didn't know. He only thought of the moments of now not of what there is for after.

"I… I don't know." He replied when looking at the ground. Rogue began what Natsu was hinting towards but was yet to but much like Sting he couldn't find the words.

Natsu ignored them and began to walk forward. Everyone watched him with shocked expressions except Jellal.

'I wish I had a master like him,' Jellal thought and smiled.

Natsu continued to walk. Sting turned around and yelled him."Natsu, You lazy bastard!"

Natsu didn't turn his face and didn't stop. He just said silently. "Find a reason to become stronger, I won't train you until you find one. Find that one reason in your heart for why you wish to be number one."

Wizards began to walk to Fairy Tail in quietly. Sting was angry, Rogue was thoughtful and Natsu was…. confident about his students in that they would find the answer he was looking for.

.

-Fairy Tail Guild Hall-

.

"Good Morning Everyone!" The now seven wizards entered the guild building. Sting began to fight with Gray, but the Devil Slayer knocked him out quickly. Rogue sighed and headed to Gajeel and Levy's table.

"Oh, your new clothes are great Natsu!" Cana yelled when she was holding a giant sake barrel on her hands.

Natsu grinned at her."Thanks, Cana, You're beautiful as usual."

"And people call me pervert..." Gray said with a comical sad face. Makarov glared at him.

"You must learn the difference between perversion and kindness Gray," Master said. Gray sighed in defeat.

"And you look handsome too, Jellal," Macao said with a grin. Jellal turned his face him with a sad expression.

"I don't want an old man's admiration but thanks, Macao-san," He said and the guild burst in a fit laughter. Natsu fell to the ground as he was laughing so much.

After that, Natsu and Jellal headed to bar and Erza went to the second floor.

"Can you give me a cup of tea please, Kinana?" Natsu asked with a soft smile.

"Of course, Natsu," Kinana replied with a smile on her lips and she turned his face to Jellal.

"For you Jellal-san?" She asked with the same smile. Jellal raised his head.

"Oh, water would be great," Jellal replied. Kinana replied with a simple 'Hai' and began to prepare their drinks.

"Where is Laxus by the way?" Natsu asked.

Kinana didn't turn his face and answered." He went a job with Thunder God Tribe."

"HAHA So, With his playmates!" Natsu said and burst into laughter, Kinana giggled a bit.

Natsu turned his face to Jellal. "And what's your plan?"

Jellal sent him a confused look." What plan?"

Natsu smirked. "How will you spend your days?"

Jellal sighed."I don't know, I want to help you about Spaktums, but my heavenly body magic doesn't work on them."

He thought for a while and finally spoke again."Oh, If I can take my staffs back I can help you!"

Natsu smiled to him. "Chairman was right about us… we are the most dangerous people in Fiore." and they laughed with each other for a while. Suddenly guild doors burst opened and a figure appeared. Master and Erza exited from Master's room and looked at the now door. The man had a giant muscular body like Elfman and short brown hair. He had ax on his back. Wizards left their current actions and looked at the mage.

"Welcome back, Drake!" Master greeted. The giant man now known as Drake turned his face to Makarov.

"Yo, Master" Drake replied and headed to the second floor.

Natsu turned his body to Drake, still on his chair. After few steps, Drake noticed Natsu and looked at him. "Huh?"

Natsu stood up and made his way to him with a smile on his face. "Yo, I am Natsu nice to meet you," Natsu said and extended a hand to Drake.

Drake simply slapped his hand and spoke with a humiliating voice."I know who you are trash, Natsu Dragneel former S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail."

Some of the mages gasped with worry. Jellal turned his face to Drake. Natsu's face didn't change, he kept smiling and lowered his hand shrugging not at all bothered by Drake taunts. "Yeah, It's not a big problem for me as long as I am here with my family."

Drake looked at him with pity in his eyes."Not a big problem huh HAHAHA, I want to teach you a lesson like I did to Sting." He said.

Sting gritted his teeth from the table having woken up from previously being unconscious. Erza leaned to second floors railing thought, 'Stupid, you're gonna get yourself killed.'

Natsu turned face to Sting with a serious face."Oi, Sting, you should be more respectful to your elders!"

Sting watched, "But he started it," He replied with his hands crossed on his belly.

Natsu sighed and turned his face to Drake again but suddenly he fell to one of his knees.

"Gravity Magic: Increase 100" Drake shouted with a satisfied smirk. Everyone gasped in shock.

'What the hell is he doing!' They thought in fear of Drake's own safety.

Mirajane made her way to them with a trash box in her hand. It was a short ranged magic so it only affected Natsu… wait it affected him? Natsu was taking some glass pieces from the floor, his hair and his clothes were giving signals to gravity increase. He stood up like nothing happened with glass pieces in his hands. Mira put the trash box near to Natsu. She would have gotten closer but she didn't want to enter the gravity zone.

"200" Drake gritted his teeth and increased the gravity. Makarov facepalmed. Other one's eyes widened.

"Thanks, Mira, They can cut someone's foot." He said and made his way to trash box. He put the glass pieces in it and headed to his old location. Gajeel smirked. 'That bastard, I collapsed to the ground when gravity was 100,' He thought.

"Don't mention it Natsu..." Mira replied with a smile and took the trash box from ground, she went back to the bar. Natsu was now standing in front of Drake with his usual grin. "Sorry for the delay and sorry for my little blondie. I don't know why that little bastard is fighting with each and every person he meets… "

Older members sweat dropped. "You were like him in old times…"

Natsu scratched the back of his head nervously and giggled. "Anyways, let's get along well." He waved to him and headed back to the bar.

Sting and Rogue looked at their master with stars in their eyes. 'We have to find the answer. We need to find our reasons to get stronger.' They thought.

Drake just stared him with a furious face. He watched and went to the second floor. Natsu sat down next to Jellal. Jellal grinned at him.

"And… ?" He asked. Natsu sent him a confused look. Jellal sent him a strangled look but Natsu understood what he is trying to say. He sighed.

"I don't want 'family fight' anymore… After that 'Baka-Laxus event" He replied. Jellal sent him a confused look like Natsu did five seconds ago.

Natsu took a deep breath and began to tell the story. "That baka…"
