"Hmm." Natsu took a seat in a chair. He took one deep breath before continuing. "So... where to begin?"

"From the mysterious letter you received on the day you left." Erza said

"What was on it that made you leave?" Wendy added in.

"Why did you burn it?" Gray threw in.

"Well," Natsu scratched the back of his neck.

"Some friends of my requested my help on that letter," he said

There was a silence for a brief moment

"Friends? Do we know them?" Cana ask

"No you don't. I meet them soon after I join the guild. "he answered.

"You say that they requested your help? What kind of help?" Cana ask

"They were being chase by some people from their past and they needed my help to get home safely," the fairy mages listened intently.

"two of them die at the hands of their enemies" the mages cringed at the mention of death

"Natsu do you mean Luna and the others?" Happy ask in a soft tone fearing the worst

Natsu silence answer Happy's question. He then flew to Natsu's harms

"Did happy knew them?" ask Wendy to which Natsu nodded

"What else happen Natsu" Makarov ask with a more serious tone.

"Well when I meet up with the rest of my friends we encounter one of the persons that ware chasing them" Natsu paused

"What kind of people ware after your friends" Levy ask

Natsu face took an even darker expression

"They ware nightmares" he answer

Confusion took over the guild

"I try hard to fight them, I fought with everything I had but at the end all I could do was run for my life" He said shocking everyone.

"What?" gray

"Those people made you run for your life!" Gray shouted in total surprise at the tough that Natsu was running away from someone. The rest of the guild apparently having the same reaction.

"They are not ordinary wizards. They … they are total nightmares they chase me day and night for two years. Sometimes they would catch up to me and I dint have any other choice but to fight them but I could not last very long in a fight so I keep on running" Natsu said

"You should had come home we could had help you out!" Erza shouted

"I try but I simply could not bring back those people to Fairy tail" Natsu said

"Are they truly that powerful" Wendy ask to which Natsu nodded

"Who exactly are those wizard where they come from and what did they wanted from your friends" Makarov ask

Natsu keep silence

"Natsu"

"Sorry gramps that is something I can't reveal" He answer

"Natsu we deserve to know" Erza shouted
"No Erza… all you need to know is that I am fine and I am back stronger than ever and if you want to know anything else we can settle this the old fashion way" Natsu responded releasing a small amount of his magical power and yet it was strong enough to fill the guild with it.

"Now if you allow me I will go home take a shower and get some rest I'll come back tomorrow" Natsu said as he started to walk to the exit

"Everyone needs to be here when I come back" he said

"Why?" Gray ask

"Tomorrow is Wendy's Birthday" Natsu said as he walked out.

"WHAT!" they all shouted as they all turn to look at Wendy

"it's your birthday!?" Levy ask

"Why did you never told us"

"you been with us three years and you never told us" Erza ask as she came closer to her.

Wendy could only blush at the attention of everyone and look down at the floor

"Well I dint think it was too much of a big deal?' she responded

"How could you think that this is your birth day" Ur said as she gave Wendy a hug

"Happy Birthday honey" Ur said

"We need to get her a birthday cake!" Erza shouted and ran off the guild

"We need birthday decorations" Levey said as she also ran out the guild

"We need booze" Cana shouted as she finishes the one in her hands and got another one

Later that evening

Natsu had gotten back to his home. Now that he thought about it had been almost two years that he hadn't slept in a bed. He opened the door to his room and notice everything was clean as if he had never left, he assumed that Wendy had keep it clean. He turned on the shower and undress himself as he walked towards the mirror. He contemplated his body that show plenty of scars that he had acquired burring the last two years. Scenes of battles, blood and death flash through his mind.

"Cursed those twelve" Natsu muttered to himself

After thanking a shower, he noticed that Wendy was back.

"Hey Wendy why are you back so soon?" he asked

"Did you really had to tell them about my birthday" she asked looking at him

"Well we haven't celebrated in a few years so yeah I think it would be nice" He answered

"Hey…" Wendy try to speak

"Sorry Wendy I am exhausted. So I think I will rest for the rest of the day" He said as he walked towards his room and closed the door.

He approached his bed and sat down in it.

"I guess that not even back home I will be able to sleep in peace" he said as he laid down and close his eyes.

There stood Natsu on the edge of the crater of a huge volcano. Facing off against someone a hundred years stronger them him. He couldn't remember his name or what his magic was. All he could do is stare at the men that could possibly bring him death. He watched in horror seeing that his enemy was building up magic. He was trying his best not to fall to his knees due to the magical pressure his enemy was emanating.

"You will not die… you will have a fate worse than death" The elder man spoke to him

"I will see your spirit crumble and eventually you yourself will end your own life"

Natsu lifted his head and saw the man turn into a shadow and grow larger than ever.

"Possession: Nightmare"

"aaaaaaaah!"

He jerked upright in his position on his bed. Covered with cold sweat nearly collided with a worried face of Wendy. When he saw her face he knew that she heard him screaming.

"Dammit!" he cursed.

Are you alright?" Wendy asked, concern written all over her face.

"Yeah... I'm fine... just another nightmare." he said, trying to smile but Wendy could swear that in corner of his eyes she saw fear.

"Another?" Wendy asked not knowing that he had nightmares.

She wanted to ask more about it but seeing Natsu's face she asked "Do you want to talk about it?"

Natsu shock his head "Not really."

He stood up and headed toward the bathroom and lock the door ones he got inside.

Wendy knocked after about half an hour at bathroom's door because it was really quiet.

"Are you alright?" Wendy ask asked again not knowing what else to say.

"I already said I am." his voice was rasp.

"Would you like something to eat?" Wendy asked.

"No. Not really." he replied.

"How about we go to the guild?" Wendy asked.

"Today is my birthday and-" she said.

Wendy started but was cut off when Natsu said "Can you go without me?"

"Fine but come soon, 'kay?" Wendy said

"Sure thing." he said.

After he couldn't hear or smell them anymore he got out of the bathroom. His eyes red and he looked like he had been crying. While he was in the bathroom he got dressed. He put carefully his scarf. He sat on the sofa and some thoughts ran through his mind.

"I need to revert this dam spell." he said with sad smile

A few minutes later Natsu was Walking through the city on his way to the guild when he saw Levy running towards the guild. He then got an idea. He ran after her

"Levy!" he shouted making levy stop and turn towards him.

She Instantly stop running and turned her head to see who it was,

"Hey Natsu" She greeted him.

She was a little surprised to see Natsu

"Natsu? Shouldn't you be at the guild with Wendy?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I wanted to talk to you before that" answered Natsu,

"Me? What for?" Levy wonder.

"Privately though if you don't mind," added Natsu. The tone in his voice made Levy worry a little

"Sure," Levy said as she walked to and Natsu fallow her.

Arriving to the library they found an empty table and Natsu sat at the opposite side from her

"So what did you want to talk about?" inquired Levy, her curiositygetting the better of her.

Looking up into her eyes, he asked "can I trust you?"

"I'm sorry?"

"can I trust you with a dark secret?"

Looking straight into his eyes she said

"Even if you left I still consider you my friend Natsu So for you I will keep a secret"

"Don't ever let anyone know about this, because it would cause unnecessary chaos"

Natsu said to which Levy nodded.

"During my time away a spell was placed on me"

AT THE GUILD

Once Wendy arrived at the guild hall she noticed something else rather odd, she didn't hear anything. Usually when she came to the guild hall, she could hear the voices of nearly everyone inside. This time was different. There were no sounds, only silence. It

He thought that the guild would be loud since they were celebrating.

she pushed open the doors to the guild hall,

and the previously silenced guild members jumped from behind the benches, bar, and stage curtains.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDY!"

Wendy's jaw dropped as she looked around at the guild hall. Everywhere she could see there were balloons and streamers hanging from the ceiling. There were presents on a couple of the tables, but most breath taking of all were the smiling faces of everyone in the guild. Wendy was speechless.

Ur ran to her, clutching her into a hug. "Do you like it?"

Wendy nodded before smiling herself. "I do. Thank you, everybody."

"You're welcome, Wendy!" Cana shouted happily before the others.

Soon everyone came to her and congratulated her on her birthday and handed her birthday present

"By the way, where's Natsu?" Mira asked.

"It was his idea and his not here."

"He was exhausted and he overslept but he will be here soon." Wendy answered.

"What about Gray and Levy" Cana asked noticing their absence as well

"They should be here soon don't worry" Makarov

WITH NATSU AND LEVY

Natsu and Levy ware walking out the library. Levy was quiet thinking of that her and Natsu just discussed

"Hey" both of them stopped and notice that Gray was standing in front of them.

"Do you need something Gray, we are on our way to the guild" Natsu answer

"I want to talk to you Natsu" Gray said looking at Natsu

"I don't have time for a chat Gray, I'm late to a party" Natsu answer as he and Levy walk past him

"I heard what you told Levy" Gray said making Natsu stop

"You what?"

"I saw both of you walking inside the library so I decided to fallow you but I wasn't expecting that I heard" He answer

"Levy would you mind going without me" he said

"sure" Levy said as she walked away

He then turned his full attention

"You know its rude to listen to others conversations"

"I want to know how much more powerful you have become since you left" Gray ask Natsu smile and answer

"How about tomorrow you and I go on a mission and you can find out for yourself"

Gray seemed to be satisfied with that answer as he gave a smile and walk pas Natsu

"Let's go we are late to the party" he said as he kept on Walking

In the guild

The guild doors open and a tall blond teen walked in fallow by a white haired girl

"Hi, everyone." Lisanna greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hello. We having a birthday party for Wendy" Erza said.

"What how come I dint know about this." She asked.

"We dint heater. We just found out yesterday when Natsu Told us" Mira answer

"What!? Natsu is back?' she asked in excitement.

"Where is he" Laxus asked as he came behind Lisanna

"Well he came back yesterday, and he should be her soon" Ur answer

Lisanna and Laxus the congratulated Wendy and sat with the younger fairy tail members. It was not pass mid-day. everyone in the guild quieted down as Wendy took her seat at the edge of one of the tables. Everyone stood around her, smiles on their faces as Ur brought out her birthday cake. She placed it down in front of Wendy as she smiled looking at the cake. Written in beautiful cursive was:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDY.

With seven candles circling the words. Erza could smell the strawberries in the cake and her mouth watered in anticipation, but Ur quickly reminded her that Wendy would be getting the first piece. All of Fairy Tail sang happy birthday. As she looked at her family in the guild Wendy's face filled with happiness but she was still missing her brother

"Natsu's still not here?" Mira whispered, noticing the frown on Wendy's face.

Erza shook her head. "How could he sleep through Wendy's birthday"

The two refocused when they heard the singing coming to an end.

"Blow out the candles, sweetie." Ur said.

Wendy shook her head.

"I would like to wait for Natsu. He said he would be here." She said

Ur turn to look at everyone.

"Now, Wendy, I know you want to wait but " Cana

Suddenly the guild hall doors swung open and a familiar voice echoed throughout the building.

"Can anyone help me?! I'm kind of lost! I've been looking for a birthday girl, but I can't find her anywhere!"

Wendy eyes lit up. "Natsu!"

Natsu looked over to Wendy. "There she is!"

Laxus smirked. "Idiot."

Mira smiled. "He certainly knows how to show up at just the right time."

Natsu walked in fallow by Gray and Levy.

Natsu walked towards Wendy and handed her as box wrapped on red paper

"Happy birthday Wendy"

Wendy took the box and slowly unwrapped. As the paper felt down a lacrima was reveal that show a picture of something. Wendy eyes filled with tears as she saw the picture.

Everyone came close to see what had made her cry

The lacrima had a picture of a large, four-legged Dragon. She had a white body, which appears to be covered in tissue similar to bird feathers. Her feet resemble bird talons as well. Her head is covered in what appeared to be fur and her skull is somewhat broad and flat. The fur extends down the neck and to the upper chest region. They also noticed a little girl playing with the dragon. They came to the conclusion that it was Wendy with her mother

"wow" everyone said in unison

"Thank you Natsu" she said as she hugged him.

"Now how about we blow out these candles?" Natsu said as he sat next to Wendy

"Yeah." Wendy nodded. She puffed out her cheeks and inhaled deeply, but when she blew the fire on the candles ware still there.

"Huh?"

"Come on, you can do better than that." Natsu encouraged.

"once more."

Wendy tried again, but received the same result. She was starting to grow frustrated.

"Come on a sky dragon who can't blow is embarrassing" Natsu said in a playful tone

Only a few notice what was really going on a laugh silently

Come on Wendy one more time" he said

"ok"

Wendy then began to suck in all the air she could muster.

"That's it. Just a little more! Keep going!"

Wendy closed her eyes as her little lungs began to give out. Natsu kept cheering her on. Ur moved to stop him, but it was too late.

"Blow!" Natsu shouted.

Wendy exhaled, and a powerful roar came out. Everyone that was on the path of the roar ware blasted away and a few cake pieces of cake landed on them.

Wendy and the others were surprised, but Natsu was having a good laugh

Needless to say the cake was halfway gone.

"Not funny." Gray said as he got up from the floor and clean some of the cake that felt on him

Cana, Maccao, Jet, and Droy all nodded in agreement.

Everyone clapped and cheered. The party started moving forward again once Wendy opened her presents. She received the gifts gratefully, thanking everybody. They all then dug into the cake.

"Mm! This is exquisite." Erza moaned as she savored each bite.

"I think your armor is about to break" Mira commented. Erza decided to ignore her comment and keep on eating

Natsu Was sitting on the same table with Wendy Erza Levy and Gray when Lisanna approach the table.

"Hey Natsu your back!" she shouted and gave him a hug

Natsu's mind when wild at having her so close to him. He smiled and hug her back not wanting to let go.

"I'm back" he whisper

"So you decided to come back" Laxus said as he too came to the table

Natsu look up to him and smirked

"Yea well I dint want you to missed me so much" He responded

Laxus smile

"Glad to have you back Natsu" Laxus said as he extended his harm to Natsu. Natsu reach toward his hands and shake it.

The party when on all day long and all night as it was usual for Fairy Tail. A few members had gone home for the night others just fell asleep on the guild. Natsu and the others were still sitting on their table. They ware caching up whit each other. Mira commented on how she would not lose on the next trials. Laxus had challenged Gildarts to a fight but lost instantly. Wendy herself had been trying to get dominated for the trials and Natsu wasn't surprised to learn that she wasn't that far from becoming an s – class. Cana had earned a great reputation as an s-class wizard and that she had gone on a few jobs with her dad. Erza Had acquired a few new armors that would help on beating the living crap out of Mira. Elfman explained his sudden change in attitudes. Soon Wendy felt as sleep on Natsu Shoulder. Natsu decide it was time to go home.

"Well guys I guess I'll see you later" Natsu said as he picked up Wendy.

"So Natsu what do you plan to do tomorrow" Mira ask

"Well I have a mission to go on"

"you just got back and now you want to leave" Laxus added

"I am not leaving I'm just going on a mission with Gray"

"What you're going on a mission with Gray" Erza ask a little surprised.

"Yea he wants to see how strong I had become" He answer. Everyone seem to be ok with that except Levy as she knew it was more than just that. Natsu walked out the guild.

NATSU'S Home

AS Natsu approach is home he could see a figure standing on the door. Natsu smile as he realized who it was.

"Hello Ultear" Natsu said as he came to a stop in front of Ultear. Ultear smile and then SLAP

"You are gone for two years and all you can say is Hello" She said in an angry tone.

"Can we talk about it inside" He said as he walked inside hi home with Wendy in his harms

MINUTES LATTER INSIDE THE HOUSE

"This isn't really a punishment you know." Natsu said as he cracked his fingers.

"I don't care. I'm tired and my back hurts." Ultear was laying down on her stomach on Natsu's bed.

Natsu started the task of massaging Ultear. Something he was surprisingly good at it.

"So tell me what have you been doing these past two years?" Ultear

"Ooh you know facing dangerous opponents and getting stronger" He responded Natsu and Ultear immediately turned around blushing with wide eyes.

"Tell me the true!" Ultear yelled as she stopped Natsu's massage and turn around to faced him

"Well if you insist"

Few minutes' latter

Ultear sat there a little thinking about what Natsu just told her and what he didn't told her

"So did you concluded you fighting?" Ultear ask

"No" he answer

"So they would eventually find you"

"probably"

"What do you plan to do"

"I don't know"

…

"Natsu listen to me." Ultear said to which Natsu dint respond

"Look me in the eye when I'm talking to you." Ultear grabbed him by the shoulders.

"There's nothing you can say to make me change my opinion! Unless any one can prove that they can support me not just morally but in power this fight is all mine!" Natsu pulled away from Ultear's grasp only to be slapped by her.

"Why do you this Natsu?" Ultear shouted as she pushed him against the wall.

"You know that I am strong so how come you won't let me help you!" Ultear shouted

"I love you Ultear!"

"I am scared to lose you, I couldn't picture a life without you by my side and the thought of losing you to them scares the hell out of me." Natsu said as he looked at her in the eyes

"Natsu." Ultear whispers as her eyes water with tears.

Ultear lunges forward to kiss Natsu causing them to both fall on the bed.

"I love you Natsu." Ultear said quietly with her lips against his.

"I love you to Ultear." Natsu responded causing Ultear to intensify the kiss. The kissed passionately.

"Grow stronger so you can stand by me when I need you?" Natsu said

"What about your guild" Ultear ask

"They don't need me to tell them to get stronger" Natsu said

"Especially your mom's apprentice" Natsu said

"Is he really that strong" She ask

"He still as ways to go but he will get there I am sure of it" He responded

"Alright time to finish what you started." Ultear turned and laid on her stomach.

"You got to be kidding me." Natsu frowned until a thought occurred to him causing his to grow a mischievous smile. Natsu fingers wiggled as they slowly approached Ultear. Ultear felt a chill run down her spine. She was about to turn around but it was too late.

"Hahahahaha what are doing? Hahahahaha stop it Natsu hahahahahah. I hate hahahaha when you do hahahahah this hahahahaha." Ultear tossed and turned as Natsu continued his attack.

"You'll pay for that." Ultear said slowly as she rolled off the bed and escape Natsu's attack. Ultear slowly got up as Natsu backed off to the other side of the bed.

"You'll have to catch me first." Natsu runs out the room just as Ultear dives across the bed barely missing him.

"Get back here!" Ultear yelled as she chased after him.

"No way! (crash) Hey don't throw that! Are trying to kill me?"

"Take you punishment like a man."

"I don't want to."

"you'll wake Wendy up."

"(Crack) Whoa! That was a close one."

"Will you stand still."

"Will you stop trying to kill me."

"Don't over exaggerate."

"You have murder eyes!"

"Oh Natsu."

These were the words and sounds that filled the house as Ultear chased Natsu throughout and even on top of it. It was a surprised that Wendy and Carla slept through the whole thing.

NEXT MORNING

It was a bright and calming morning in the Dragneel House. Natsu was in the kitchen cooking up breakfast for everyone. while Ultear went upstairs to wake up Wendy, Carla as Natsu set up plates on the table he had flashbacks of the nightmares that hunted him night after night

He then heard the sounds of footsteps walking down the stairs and turned around to see everyone walking down the stairs.

"Wow, something smells pretty good." Ultear commented as she moved to the table,

"Good morning." Wendy said as she also took a seat fallow by Happy and Carla.

"Morning." Natsu greeted as

"Whoa Natsu you improve your cooking, " Happy said as he saw what Natsu had cooked

Natsu scratched the back of his head sheepishly before he placed some pancakes on one of the plates,

"Yeah well I had to improve to survive out there" Natsu smiled

"I might be able to cook, but I'm nowhere near Mira's or Lissana's level."

"I don't now Natsu Mira and Lis might get jealous if they tasted this." Wendy commented

Soon everyone was eating and enjoying their meals, Ultear and Wendy shared some of their adventures with Natsu. Carla and Natsu got to know each other.

After everything was finished, Wendy moved the dishes to the sink and started to wash them before putting them up to dry with the help of Happy and Carla. Natsu and Ultear were still as the table

"So Natsu?" Ultear spoke

"Yea"

"MiraJane and Lissana" she said

"What about them?" Natsu ask having an idea what she was going to

"Wendy told me about your…" Ultear try so say

"ooh really" Natsu interrupted

"Yea" she responded

"So what do you think" he asked

"I-I don't know if I could share you with other woman" she said

"is it wrong for me to want you all to myself" she continued.

Natsu locked at her as tears threaten to come out of her eyes.

"No its not, but would you condemn me to such pain… would you commit to such a life with me?" he asked

Before Ultear could speak again a knock was heard on the front door

"Gray and Ur" Natsu said as he looked towards the door

"Well I guess that's my cue" Ultear said as she walked towards the back door and exited the house

Natsu then opened the door and greeted his guest

"Good morning Natsu" Ur greeted
"Hey flame brain, are you ready or what" Gray said as he walked into the house

"Sure, let me get ready and we'll be off" He responded as he walked to his room to get ready.

Ultear and Gray walk into the hose and sat at the living room.

"Hey Good morning" Wendy said as she came into the living room.

"Hi, Wendy" Ur greeted her

"Here for Natsu?" she asked

"Yea Gray here is pretty excited about today." Ur said

At the guild

"I'm back" Natsu shouted as burst inside the guild fallowed by Wendy Ur and Gray

"Good Morning Natsu" All guild members greeted and so did he and the rest

"alright let's go see the s-class board shall we?" Natsu said as he walked to the second floor unknowing that he had three pair of eyes on him.

"So He just got back and now he is living" Mira said as he sat next to Erza and Cana on their table.

"That's Natsu for you" Ur mention as he stood next to their table

"Always on new adventures "

"here is a quest that seems fun." Natsu said as he went back down to the first floor.

"what is it?" Gray ask as he took the paper from Natsu's hand

the quest said WANTED WIZARDS WITH INCREDIBLE STRENGTH HELP TAKE DOWN A DARK GUILD. reward 500,000 jewels

"Hey this is perfect I can show the results of my training " Gray Said a headed to the doors

"wait we need to have gramps approved" Natsu said.

As Natsu approach the Master Erza came across him

"Hey Natsu leaving already" She asked

"Yea, I promised Gray I'll take him on a mission" He answer

"What about me?" she asked

Natsu seem confused

"When would I get some of your time?" She asked

"Sorry Erza, I guess that I'm always on the road, But I promised that when I get back I'll take to buy one of those cakes you love so much" Natsu respond

"Ok, deal"

"So Natsu want to head out to that dark guild or what?" Gray shouted when Natsu took too long

"Yeah let's go."

"So the pamphlet says it's in Balsam Village that's not that far if we go on train" Gray said

"Can we go walking?" Natsu ask

"What's the matter flame brain scared of a little train" Gray teased

"Shut up, of course not" Natsu responded as he headed to the train station

they walked for 10 minutes discussing about the dark guild and their power. "so what's the guilds name?" asked Gray asked

"it's Crimson demon, nobody knows what type of dark magic they use but we will find out soon enough." Natsu replied.

Balsam

"Natsu you have to get off the train it's going to leave." Gray said trying to pull him out of the train.

"Ok I'm out." said a sick Natsu pulling himself out of the train with the little strength he had.

Walking around Balsam Natsu and Gray stopped by a restaurant and got something to eat. Both Natsu and Gray ate their meals and started heading out to the direction of the mayor's office.

"Boy I didn't think only two of you would come." said the mayor standing up with a worried face.

"well sense you're here if just you two can take down that dark guild I'll pay you both 500,000 jewels."

Both Natsu and mark were excited about the new reward.

"alright so where is this guild?" asked Natsu.

"it's five miles down that road then a straight left you can't miss it." said the mayor pointing out of his window.

"let's go Gray." said Natsu.

outside of Crimson Demon

Natsu and Gray were standing outside of a big black guild hall

"I think this might be the place." said Gray.

"Yep and it's pretty big, and it might have super strong mages that could kill us in there" Natsu said in a serious tone

"Gray once inside I need you to stay alert at all times" Natsu said

"inside there you are fighting for your live, make a mistake and you lose" Natsu continue and the look at Gray who just nodded.

"…. Let's GO!" they both shouted eagerly ready for a good fight. they blasted the doors open and stormed in.

Natsu said. "we are here to kick your guilds ass for being a dark guild."

"Who do YOU think you two are?" said a pissed off mage in full red clothing.

"My names Natsu Dragneel."

"Gray fullbuster."

about a minute went by.

"Alright seems like its lunch time boys." said the man in red.

Behind the man stood about 20 mages and each of them wearing a dark color.

"what do you think 10 each?" asked Natsu.

"if you can keep up with me." Gray said with a grin.

Both charged in first to go was the red clothed weirdo who opened his arms to shoot fire at Natsu who easily dodged the attack and went behind him.

"Ice-Make: Death Scythe" Gray sliced his way through his enemies.

"Fire Dragons Roar!" yelled Natsu as he took a few of his opponents.

When he finished Natsu notice that Gray was still struggling with his share of opponents.

"Finnish up here, I'll go to the second floor" Natsu told Gray

s-class level

"so man how did killing those citizens feel?" asked a mage about 7 feet high talking to a dark skinned wizard in just cargo shorts.

"it was easy not worth my time." while everyone was talking they heard from the doors.

Natsu busted through the doors, and kicked and knocked out the 7-foot-tall man and punched the guy sitting and nearly killed both of them,

Hey stopped and looked around and said.

"So killing is fun, let's see how much fun I can have with you all." Natsu said with a sadistic voice that send fear to everyone on that room

"let's go" Natsu scream as he ran into battle

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack" Natsu started with no hesitation watching some get knocked out while others stood back up and some not even getting affected.

"oh yea these guys are a lot stronger than those pawn downstairs." Natsu thought while jumping away from in oncoming hit.

" Fire Dragons Roar" Natsu attacked and watched people fall grunting in pain

Natsu once again lost himself in the heat of battle. Landing receiving blocking attacks left and right. Soon enough his opponents fell before his might and just like that Natsu won after the battle hey stood there for a few seconds

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GUILD AND WHY ARE YOU WEAKLINGS ON THE FLOOR SLEEPING?" asked an angered man downstairs. Natsu ran down to see who it was.

"master it was two guys with incredible strength they took us all out." said the red clothing man.

"WHAT YA PUNKS THINK YOUR DOING TO MY GUILD" the master was a large man that looked like he had been lifting weights his whole life, there was so much muscle that it looked disgusting.

The man raised his hand and with little effort blocked Gray's attack

"Natsu I will take care of him." he nodded as he looked at the fight

"YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME" The Guild Master talked or shouted to ordinary people and pushed him back with ease

"I'll end this with one attack" he charged forward

"Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur" and slashed at his side but the master couth the attacked with his hand and sent him into the air into a wall

The master ran toward Gray ready to bring his fist down but got hit in the gut by an ice hammer

"WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO HURT" he brought lunched another fist

"HOW PATHETIC"

"Over here you muscle freak" He felt a blunt object hit the back of his head, he turned around to see no one there

"too slow" he hit him in the back this time, he turned again to get the same result but showed no signs of fatal injuries just small bruises.

A minute later and Gray was still hitting the master getting no real result

"damn his muscle is like it's made of steel'. he ducked under a swing of his fist not noticing a punch to the stomach until it was too late; Gray was lifted with the force of the punch then in midair the master summed a sword. Gray was in a coughing fit losing all her air with the punch, the master lifted his sword with one hand

"TIME TO DIE"

He brought his sword down ready to cut him in half but luckily Natsu had seen what was about to happen and stopped the swing by grabbing the man's wrist but took both arms and all his strength to stop one hand

"I won't... let... you touch... my comrade" Natsu had flames all around him like armor

"THAT HURTS BRAT" he punched Natsu to the ground with his free hand

"FOR THAT I WILL KILL YOUR FRIEND SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES" before he could turn his attention to Gray Natsu charged at him and punched him in the face

"Fight me now" Natsu engulfed himself in flames,

The master grinned taking it as a challenge

"I CAN'T WAIT TO KILL YOU IN THE MOST PAINFUL WAY" the master charged at him at full speed going for his head,

Natsu sidestepped it only to get kicked through a wall that collapsed on him

"ALL TALK NO GUTS"

"N-Natsu..." Gray tried to crawl over to him but the master stomped on his leg, he screamed out in pain

"TIME TO DIE" before he realized the master received an uppercut to the face sending him to the roof then he fell with a thud

"WHAT THE FUCK DID THAT" he felt a surge of power behind him. Naturally curious he turned his head to see the source of the power

"JUST BECAUSE YOU CHANGED A LITTLE DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL WIN" in truth the master was a bit scared as the power kept on rising with seemingly no end.

Natsu stood behind him with his clothes ripped from the rubble of the wall but the strange thing was that some parts of his skin had scales on them and his eyes turned to slits not to mention the flames around him turned from its usual orange/red color to a bright yellow/white color

"Good fight entertain me a bit more"

The master found himself shaking and slowly walking away from Natsu but kept his eyes on the fire.

"Come on you push me this far it is your fault that you will now die" in a flash too fast for the master to register what happened, he was being bombarded with attacks one after the other.

"What tremendous power, how could I ever hope to beat that" Gray said in awe and fear, he snapped out of his shocked state and moved towards Natsu as fast as he can because he was currently punching the man to death.

"Natsu stop he is going to die" he tried to pull him off when he never responded but got pushed aside, he got off the master then turned to Gray staring at him with the eyes of a predator instead of a friend.

"Stay out of this" he then turned to the master to see him half dead

"Fire Dragon's Roar" Natsu unleashed a powerful attack.

When Everything was settle. The master laid lifeless on the floor
