The Seven:
Chapter 1: Natsu Dragneel


Prologue:

Smoke filled the clear skies. The smell of burnt trees thickened the area. No trees was left unscathed in the area. The once beautiful landscape decimated and barren land now filled the landscape. Everything charred and black. No living life form had been spared from the destruction. The fury of the black robed figure was horrendous to the land. As the figure turned away from his destruction, a black book appeared in his hand and as he held the book firmly in his hand. He had failed to notice a single baby there lying in the wake of his destruction unharmed and very well alive.

~June 1,X770~ (Igneel) -(Natsu-Weeks Old)

Igneel had smelled the smoke in the air and he was intrigued by it. He came rushing out of his cave only to feel the dark magic that he had feared to feel again after so long. "Zeref…" Igneel thought. "This was not good." Igneel soared across the valley trying to pinpoint the location of the dark magic and came upon a sight he had not expected. What once was part of the forest was no more. A forest, but in the middle of what was once a village destroyed. The area surrounding did not escape the fate of the village. The trees that once obscured the village from sight was no longer there just burnt trees. The sense of destruction still lingered in the air.

Igneel landed on a patch of ashes of what he assumed was once a home. "What could possib-". "WAHHH" A cry could be heard in the middle of the ruined village. Igneel scampered towards the sound ignoring how he trampled all over the rubble and turning it into dirt looking for the one that made the cry.

"Pink." Igneel thought aloud. In a bundle of blankets was a boy with strikingly pink/salmon hair lying in the middle of the ruins in healthy condition.

"It seems you found a survivor." a voice called out as a shape landed right next to dark red dragon.

"Atlas Flame, what are you doing here?" Igneel asked curiously.

"Same as you, inspecting what has transpired here." the flame scaled dragon, Atlas Flame, responded.

Igneel, scoffed, "It seems there is a survivor."

Atlas Flame, had a smirk on his face, "Well then, I assume you will take care of it."

Igneel had a small smile on his face, "It appears so…Natsu."

"You may stay with me at the Sun Village, Igneel. It's best we leave now before the person who did this returns for the survivor." Atlas called out as he nodded for Igneel to follow him. In his claw, Igneel tailed Atlas Flame east towards the Sun Village and maybe a better future.

In the shadows hidden from view amongst the trees, a ghostly smile on his face as he spoke one word, "Natsu…"

~(X774)~ Natsu age 4

"Fuyuko. I already know how to read and write! I want to make things go BOOM! Like Igneel and Uncle Atlas!" Natsu cried. Currently, Natsu was sitting in the back of a classroom along side his friend, Fuyuko, bored out of his mind.

"Natsu! Pay attention!" Fuyuko said.

"We already know all this stuff… so stupid. Such a goodie two shoes." Natsu mumbled into his textbook.

"What was that!"

"Nothing!" Natsu paled. Natsu loved his white haired friend, Fuyuko, but sometimes she saps the joy out of things! Fuyuko, was Natsu's age, and she lived in Sun village with Natsu for four years now. The two were inseparable, even through their constant bickering. Atlas Flame had thought it to be a good idea for Natsu to have a bit of education before learning the sacred dragon slayer magic. Igneel agreed for the sake of Natsu to also have friends at his young age.

The Sun Village was a village created by Atlas Flame and it was safe for Natsu. Igneel can oversee his growth with help from Atlas and his people.*

XxX

"The boy is ready, Igneel." Atlas said glancing across the horizon.

"I question if he should know it at this age." Igneel responded at his flamed friend.

"One day, he will need this power to harness his potential and protect his comrades. Fuyuko will be there to keep him on his path. She is talented and her mother has began to teach her snow magic. The two will be able to protect each other weakness."

Igneel did not reply, but stared at the two figures in Sun Village. One giving chase after another across the town square. "Soon."

"He needs it." Atlas smiled, enjoying the sight Igneel was watching.

XxX

"Fuyuko!" Natsu screamed! "You can't leave me here! It's cold! No fair!" Natsu was currently frozen to the fountain in the town square for telling Fuyuko to shut up and go learn somewhere else.

"Have fun Natsu! Maybe you should've paid attention and learn how unfreeze yourself!" Fuyuko giggled.

"It's not funny!"


~JULY 6, X777 Natsu age 7~

The sounds of combat contact were made. The sounds of physical combat were common here. The training was intense and brutal to condition the mind and body of it's participant.

Blocks of wood lay splintered in half on the grassy ground. Beads of sweat dropped onto to them to prove that the intensity of the training was not easy. Standing over them was young pink-haired boy sighing in relief as he finally finished his set for the day. "I should... bring... thicker wood."

The boy walked away from his training site, looking himself to check for any wounds he did. He walked toward the village, not before stopping at the lake near his training ground. "Yosh, time to test out my strength." Sucking in his breath and bringing his head back. The boy brought his hands in front of him and cup them in front of his mouth. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" Dangerously hot flame spewed out and went in a straight line across the lake until it almost reached the other side and stopped. The boy smirked. "Better."

As the boy dressed in black shorts and a white -gold trimmed vest approached the path toward the Sun village, he came face to face with his childhood friend. "Ahh, Fuyuko... Good to see you."

Fuyuko, dressed in a white and blue sundress smiled at her friend, "Natsu, how was your training? I hope you are faring well since the last time you trained you burned down the forest..."

Natsu, face became red in embarrassment, "I-i- I di- I didn't mean to!"

"I know." Fuyuko smiled as she walk beside Natsu step by step.

"Stop teasing me so much, Fuyuko." Natsu pouted. "It's not nice."

"It's what friends do. Now lets go home." Fuyuko said as she dragged along side her.

Natsu untangled himself from Fuyuko, "Race, you home! Last one cooks for the other! Bye Snow White!" Natsu yelled as he kicked up dirt behind him as he dashed towards home.

Fuyuko just couldn't help, but chase after him smiling to herself. She enjoyed having Natsu around as he made her life more lively, but she hated it whenever they practice together, he would be so serious its like he was another person. She hope he doesn't lose his personality, and still keep himself the way he is, her Natsu. "My Natsu?" Fuyuko thought aloud. Fuyuko could not linger on it for too long because Natsu was almost a speck on the horizon to her.

XxX

The late afternoon sun was dancing across the sky making it red orange.

Two massive figures stood on the edge of the village, Sun Village. Igneel and Atlas Flame were waiting for Natsu to return home.

"Hah, I beat you!" Natsu stuck his tongue out at his friend.

"No fair, you cheated Natsu!" Fuyuko shouted as she dropped to the floor panting.

Atlas Flame and Igneel both smiled at the interaction between the children.

"Fuyuko!" a sweet voice called out from inside the house.

"Coming mom!" Fuyuko shouted back. She turned towards Natsu and said, "I will see you tomorrow okay pink head." She hugged Natsu before running into the house.

"Natsu." Igneel spoke.

Natsu walked over, "Hi, old man."

"How was your training?"

"I finished your workout of wooden blocks and physical training today." Natsu claimed as he flex his well defined body in front of his dad.

Igneel motioned for Natsu to follow him towards Atlas Flame, "Good work. Now your uncle and I have something we like to discuss with you."

Natsu stared at his uncle and dad. Atlas Flame took it as hint and continued for Igneel. "Since you have been training with Igneel for a while. We believe you may now learn some things from me to make your flames hot as hell."

Natsu looked between Igneel and Atlas Flame for a few seconds before screaming out in joy. "Really! Yes I can learn more cool stuff! Will I be able to turn my body into flames! WHAT OH- Grrrrrrrrrrr!" Natsu was cut off by the sound of his stomach crying out for fuel.

"Sorry, I will talk to you later. I need to feed the beast!" Natsu shouted as he excused himself and ran into the house.

'What a troublesome kid.' Igneel and Atlas Flame thought.

XxX

Everything hurt. Every bone, every muscle, every fiber, even when he breathed it hurts! He's even laying on the ground and his body can't even move.

Natsu never thought the training with his uncle would ever be anything on this scale. Everything just hurts. Natsu just closed his eyes and stared at the starry night sky.

'The boy is capable of many things. I hope he realize his potential soon. It is dangerous and scary for a boy his age to be that strong.' Atlas thought as he carried the boy with him and flew back to the village in the still night.


~July 7, X777~

Natsu awoke in his room in the outskirts of Sun Village. Natsu squinted his eyes as he try to block out the sun's gleaming rays peaking in from his window. 'Ahh, I must have slept all night after my training with Uncle.' Natsu swung his legs off his bed and walked towards the bathroom to freshen up.

As Natsu walked out of the bathroom cleaning his face with a towel, he noticed that nobody was in the kitchen. 'Where did everyone go?'

Natsu walked outside and the sight him, cold and dead on. Sun Village in all it's glory was somehow frozen. Frozen Solid! The buildings were encased in ice and so was his house! Natsu's heat must've kept the house from being frozen. 'What happened here!' Natsu wondered. 'Oh no, everyone' "FUYUKO! IGNEEL! ATLAS FLAME! UNCLE! DAD!" Natsu screamed at the top of his lung as he took into a sprint down the avenues and streets of the village looking for his family.

XxX

An hour has passed and Natsu came up with nothing. 'Where are they.' Natsu was in despair. There was no trace of anyone in the village, yet not even a trace of anyone living in the village at the time at all! Natsu was getting desperate and he could feel it. 'Where were they! What happened! Why am I all alone!' Natsu let out loud roar into the early afternoon sky, disrupting the peace. Natsu punched the ground over and over until there was blood on his hands and he stopped. 'I don't know where you are, but I will find you. And that is a promise.' Natsu thought to himself.

"Natsu?" Natsu looked around trying to locate whoever said his name.

"Fuyuko!" Natsu rushed towards his childhood friend and wrapped her tightly into a hug. "Fuyuko. Fuyuko. Fuyuko." Natsu mumbled as he placed his head on the girl's shoulder and soak in the presence of his friend.

"The village was frozen when I woke up. I didn't see anyone out on the streets or at home so I panicked and I-" Natsu rambled. "Shhh." a finger was placed on Natu's lips to silence him.

"Natsu, I am right here. We will be okay. We will be okay." Fuyuko smiled, but the tears in her eyes betrayed her as they fell in streams down her cheeks. Natsu pulled Fuyuko closer to him and held her close. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"I was training by myself and when I decided to go home I saw the village frozen. I rushed home and saw you. I am so glad you are here. I was so scared I will be left all alone." Fuyuko cried out into her friend's chest.

"Fuyuko, I will be here for you. Don't worry. We need to leave." Natsu said softly as he carried Fuyuko out of the village. 'I will help you find your mom again Fuyuko.'

Wiping away the tears on her face, "Natsu, we need to find shelter quick. We can decide what to do later." Natsu nodded and went into the wilderness of Fiore.


(One Year Later Natsu/Fuyuko 8 Years Old)

Two travelers walked out of the clearing of the East Forest into the meadows. A pink haired boy and a white haired girl seemed to be looking for something. "Fuyuko" the pink haired boy called out to his companion. "I don't think there is anything here. Maybe you saw wrong. I am hungry, let's eat!"

The white haired girl turned towards her best friend and smiled, "Natsu, come on I am telling you, I saw something!"

"Fuyuko, I found an egg. It has weird blue markings on it, but I think it will make great breakfast." Natsu said as he drooled thinking of food. "OOf!" Natsu hit the ground hard. "It isn't for eating Natsu!" It might be a dragon egg you know! Let's keep it!" Fuyuko reasoned.

"Really! A dragon egg!" Natsu rushed over near the egg and wrapped it with his arms and rubbed his cheeks against it.

Fuyuko giggled to herself. 'How cute.'

"Fuyuko look out!" Natsu screamed. A bolt of lightning flashed across the meadow towards Fuyuko. Wide-eyed Fuyuko turned around and saw it coming right at her, but it was too late for her to put a defense. She raised an arm in an attempt to defend herself, but she knew it was futile. Seconds passed and she realized she wasn't hurt. She put down her arm to see Natsu standing right in front of her shielding her from any damage with his blazed forearm.

"Are you alright, Fuyuko?" Natsu asked.

Fuyuko could only nod as she realized how close she was to death if it wasn't for Natsu to step in and save her.

'I wonder who did that.' Natsu thought. His question didn't go unanswered for long.

A blonde in his teens walked out of the clearing. He had a lightning shaped scar over his right eye and he was distinctively tall with a muscular build. The blonde looked in front of him and saw Natsu and Fuyuko. 'Great, who are these losers.'

"How dare you try to hurt Fuyuko!" Natsu shouted. He punched his two fists together and took a battle stance. "You will pay for that."

The blonde could only scoff and shake his head. He took his hands away from his headphones and beckoned the pink head forward with one arm while the other crackle with lightning. 'I am not in the mood, but if he wants a massacre and not a fight he will get one.' The blonde smiled like a devil at the thought. 'bring it'
