Natsu's POV

Erigor looked on with shock as he felt the pure dark energy coming off of my body. "W-What are you?" he cowered and I grinned with killing intent. I cracked my knuckles as the dark energy only increased in strength. Damn, it's finally good to actually let loose. I should do this more often.

"What am I, you ask?" I spoke out and Erigor grit his teeth as he prepared his scythe. I chuckled darkly before pointing at him with my finger. "I am Natsu Dragneel, a wizard of Fairy Tail!"

I lunged forward as my speed suddenly increased with amazing speed. Erigor gulped before floating back up in the air. "Storm Mail!" he screamed and he was cloaked with powerful spiral winds. "Storm Shred!"

A wave of projectiles was soon being showered down on me but I stood there as it all dissipated when it reached contact with my dark burning aura. I smiled my signature smile before my hands were covered with black lightning. "Basic Black Arts: Rampaging Demons!" I bellowed and I collided my fists which created a demon shaped bolt that was soon zapped at Erigor who barely dodged it.

He yelped in pain as the close proximity between him and the spell made his skin sear. "W-What power..." he murmured before he raised his hands midway. "Storm Bringer!" he screamed but I licked my lips with anticipation.

It feels so good. Finally using the Black Arts against an actual opponent.

"Basic Black Arts: Bloody Carnage!" I yelled and soon two large ebony colored orbs grew to extraordinary size. I grunted before throwing the two spheres of mass destruction. One of them collided with his tornado, easily nullifying his spell and the other one went straight towards the Ace of Eisenwald.

The assassination threw his scythe out of desperation as it collided with the orb which made a giant explosion. I watched as the remnants of his scythe fell to the dark abyss. He looked at me with awe before crossing his fingers. "Emera Baram!"

A concentrated blast of razor winds was soon sent towards me and I raised my palms as I snuffed out the powerful winds just like Zeref did with my flames. I bit my lip as a slight amount of pain was felt when it reached contact but I waved it off before staring at Erigor. "Are you ready for one hell of a punishment, Erigor?" I asked but he didn't respond.

All the guy could do now is glare but I guess that's what people do when they are left speechless. Ha ha!

"Basic Black Arts: Punishing Blow!" I proclaimed and my hands started glowing the similar crimson color that Zeref had when he used the spell. I grinned as I leaped up to the sky to meet the wizard who only stared with a stunned expression as I jabbed him, making him scream out of extreme pain. He coughed up blood as he fell towards the abyss.

I looked at him with small pity. Trust me buddy, I felt the pain of that spell too and it hurts like hell! I jumped down to the dense fog as I looked for the body of Erigor. "Hopefully I didn't kill you." I muttered as I gracefully landed on the rocks. Even with my heightened senses, I can't seem to see through it. I growled before I started glowing a dark aura. "Hell's Eye!"

My vision blurred momentarily until I saw through the fog and looked for any significant sources of magic. I scanned the entire area until I saw the body of Erigor. With one final dash, I temporarily extinguished the dark flames around me before checking the man's pulse. With a sigh of relief I confirmed that he isn't dead before carrying his limp body up.

"Death Dragon's Claws!" I proclaimed before I propelled up with blinding speed. With one final push I landed safely on the broken bridge. I laid the man on the rails before turning off my powers. "Well, that was a great way to cool off." I joked to myself before stretching from the fight. "Damn, if only Zeref allowed me to use it all the time. I'd be unstoppable."

I sighed. Zeref still has a point though. Just using it right now already made me feel way too dark. It could corrupt me and people would get suspicious. I took a deep breath before letting it out. Hopefully, nothing significant will happen when I only used it once.

He doesn't know how wrong he is.

I looked at the assassin's limp body before I glanced at the flute on his hands. With a raised eyebrow I grabbed it before inspecting it. So this is an item created by Zeref. I could definitely tell that it was from him just by feeling its presence. Its eyes started glowing and I tilted my head in confusion before something snapped in my head.

The flute soon started looking alluring to me and my dark energy was silently whispering for me to use it. I widened my eyes before shaking my head in confusion. The hell?

I looked at it quizzically before trying to think of a reason for my sudden urge to play the instrument. I tapped my satchel before opening it up and opened my two Books of Zeref. I flipped the pages until I paused when I read the information. I widened my eyes at the sudden discovery of it being a demon. I took a step back as I looked at the item in a new light.

Zeref, what were you doing with a demon?

Before I could even ponder even longer, I heard the familiar sound of a magical vehicle. Noticing this, I quickly lunged for my books and shoved them in my bag before anyone noticed. I looked at the smiling faces of Mira and I grinned in return. I placed Lullaby on the ground as I walked towards her.

"Mira!" I greeted and she jumped off of the automobile before lunging and latching onto my neck with her slender and delicate arms. I paused at the contact before blushing slightly. "M-Mira?" I questioned and when she finally released herself she glared at me.

"What were you thinking, fighting Erigor by yourself!?" she screamed in my face and I raised my hands up in surrender. "You could have at least waited for us, flame breath!" she kept yelling and I bit my lip in nervousness.

Yeah, if you guys joined then I would have never used my abilities.

"Sorry Mira," I muttered but she only slapped me fiercely before hugging me tightly again. I glanced at her and she had a deep blush on her face. What the hell's that about? Sometimes, I don't understand people. That should be understandable when I spent twelve years with Igneel and Zeref.

"I was so worried about you," she whispered into my ear and I smiled warmly before hugging her back, much to her surprise.

I chuckled slightly, "I'm okay, Mira." I replied truthfully and she only hugged me tighter before letting go. I watched as she glared at me while crossing her arms in anger.

"You better not do that again, flame brain or I'll hunt you down." she threatened and I chuckled at her antics before giving a thumbs up. She let out a deep breath in relief before going back to the automobile to see Laxus already out and chuckling at the scene. Mira blushed even redder, thinking that the lightning wizard fainted while on the ride.

Laxus sighed, "Young love." he mused before walking towards us.

"S-Shut up, Laxus." Mira muttered and he shook his head.

"Sorry but this is just precious." he cackled. "One of the most beautiful girls in Fairy Tail has fallen for the dense idio-" he paused when he felt himself get barraged with dark projectiles. His body was soon thrown a few meters away before he recovered. He laughed as he stood up. "Alright, sorry kid. Shouldn't spill the beans."

"You are one heartless bastard!" Mira screamed before trying to calm down. I only cocked my head in confusion before shrugging it off as something that's not important.

"Well, let's get back to business." I stated, making the two divert their attention towards me. I gave out a smile before proudly pointing at the fallen Ace of Eisenwald. "Guess who I took down?"

"Great, you took out this weakling." Laxus chuckled as he walked towards the assassin. "I bet that he wasn't even a challenge."

"He wasn't," I admitted before smiling at Laxus who seemed to raise an eyebrow at this, "But then he tried to use Lullaby on me." I added and Mira and Laxus widened their eyes at the extra detail.

"W-What? How are you still alive?" Mira asked and Laxus nodded in agreement. I paused at this before mentally face palming myself for saying that. Damn, I should keep my mouth shut. I thought of a response before looking at them.

"With my amazing speed, I took him out before he could start the spell." I lied and Laxus seemed to nod in understanding. I glanced at Mira who was narrowed her eyes at me. I started sweating at this, knowing fully well that she didn't buy my deceit. Mira kept staring at me before sighing and nodding in agreement. Still, I could see it in her eyes.

She wants to talk to me later about it.

Letting out a deep breath in relief, I smiled at them. "Now about Lullaby..." I trailed off as I tried to point at the item but I widened my eyes when it went missing. "The hell?" I asked but before I could even ponder even more, I saw the magic vehicle leaving us with a bunch of shadows on it. I looked at one of them and my jaw dropped when I saw the flute with Kageyama.

"See ya' later suckers!" he screamed in joy before leaving us in the dust. Laxus growled in anger while Mira face palmed at our new problem.

"I knew we should have never brought him." Laxus mumbled before enveloping himself in electricity. "I'm going after the dork, you guys should catch up as soon as you can."

"Got it," I agreed and Laxus soared to the sky with blinding speed. I glanced at Mira who seemed to be transforming into her Satan Soul. I watched her transform before flying off. She launched herself in the air but glanced at me with a smirk.

"Are you going to stand there, or actually follow me to Clover Town?" she asked and I broke out of my stupor as I grinned back. In an instant, my feet started showing the familiar orange flames.

"Alright, I'm coming!" I screamed before leaping to the air with blinding speed. Mira raised an eyebrow at the impressive velocity before catching up. I flew through the skies as I swirled around the sky with a playful manner. Mira giggled at my antics before trailing off behind. When she finally caught up with me, I glanced at her. "Hey Mira."

"Hm?" she asked and I gave a small grin, one though lingering in my mind.

"Why were you so worried about me?" I asked and I saw her blush slightly. "I mean, you should know that as an S-Class mage, I could take care of myself. I'm powerful too, you know."

She took a deep breath before grinning, "Is it wrong for a friend to be worried? I mean you would be worried if I took off and fought Erigor, right?"

I pondered this a bit before staring back at Mirajane. "I guess friends would worry but not as intense." I guessed. "Although, I wouldn't worry about you fighting Erigor."

She widened her eyes at this before frowning as if I said something wrong. "Why won't you worry about me if I fought him?" she questioned curiously and I gave out my signature grin before putting my thumbs up.

"Well, that's easy." I stated and she raised an eyebrow at this. "It's because I am fully confident of your abilities as a friend and a wizard that you could handle yourself." I exclaimed and her cheeks were tinted red at the compliment. "You're one of the strongest woman I know. Hell, you taught me about this woman's wrath thing. It must be one hell of a spell."

She giggled before playfully shoving me in midair. "It isn't a spell, flame brain but it is something that many people should be wary about."

"Huh." I simply said before glancing at the ground. I noticed Laxus currently trying to catch up to Kageyama and I smiled before descending down to Laxus. Mira seemed to follow my gaze and went down as well. "Hey lightning thighs."

"So you guys finally showed up?" he asked before looking at the nearby town in the distance. "Anyways, let's get a move on!"

When we finally descended to Clover Town we ran outside towards Kageyama. I glanced at him before looking at Makarov that was in front of him. Mira and I widened my eyes before someone interrupted us. I yelped in surprise as Master Bob, from the Blue Pegasus guild blocked our path.

"Sssshhh, we're just about to get to the good part." sh-I mean he said. Laxus and I looked at him with fear. Bob checked us out from top to bottom before smiling flirtatiously at us. "Mmmmy, my, my, is that Natsu and Laxus? Mmmm you boys have really grown."

"The hell?" I asked, my body shivering from his constant staring. Laxus went behind me as he tried to hide away from Bob's line of sight.

"I-It's Bob," Laxus croaked with nervousness. Mira waved her hands towards the guild master and he waved back.

"Is that you, Mira dear. My, you've really filled out." Bob stated before walking closer to her. "Oh, I'm pretty sure that so many boys are already sending you a lot of marriage proposals. Mmmm, lucky you."

"Aww thanks Bob!" Mira cheered before smiling. "Although, my heart already belongs to someone. All I need is for him to return the favor." she added, and I could have sworn that she took a quick glance at me before looking away with a blush. I raised an eyebrow at this before waving it off as another non-important subject.

Then to Laxus' utter horror and to mine as well, Bob started gliding his way towards us. "Oh my Mavis!" I yelped as I hugged Laxus tightly. "Laxus, Lightning Body us out of here now!"

I stared at the lightning wizard who was trembling in fear at Bob. His eyes were distant as if remembering a terrible memory. "I've faced so many fearsome monsters, matchstick but Bob takes the cake as the worst thing to ever come across."

Mira waved off our fear. If there is one thing that's the close second of the fear of transportation. Well, Master Bob is that close second. Trust me, you don't want to get on his bad side. Or good side. Actually, any of his sides for that matter. The demon of Fairy Tail looked at Kageyama and Makarov before growling, "We have to reach them before he starts playing Lullaby."

Then Goldmine of the Quatro Cerberus guild blocked her path. "Not right now, we're about to get to the good part."

"What good part? I just want to kick his butt and get this over with!" I screamed before clinging to Laxus tightly. "Bob, why don't you go ogle Goldmine. You guys are about the same age!"

"Mmmmm, I've already tried that. Didn't work out in my favor." he gushed before walking towards us. "Besides, mmmmm I prefer young adults." he added and Laxus and I fell to the ground in defeat. Goldmine sweat dropped at this before going back to the task at hand.

Meanwhile with Kageyama...

"Excuse me sir," the mage spoke out to Makarov who looked at him. He gave him a small smile, "Do you mind if I play you a song? They wouldn't allow me to play it in the hospital." he lied. Makarov pondered this for a second before nodding.

He hummed, "Alright fine, get on with it boy.

The dark wizard was ready. He grabbed his flute and was ready to play but he hesitated. He stayed in the same place as he placed it near his lips, his eyes set on killing the guild masters but he paused as images flashed into his mind. He remembered those wizards' words.

"They are in the same guild. They are family and it is truly unacceptable to just kill someone because they are caught in the enemy's hands."

More of their words coursed through his head as the guild master waited.

"Who in their sane mind would try to kill their own?"

He bit his lip and took a deep breath. No, he was supposed to kill them. They took their rights away.

"He's still one of us, flame brain. Even if we don't like him, he is still a powerful ally and possibly a friend."

His hands trembled as he tried to play the flute. His head was aching as he tried to realize what's wrong with him. Why can't he effortlessly kill off people that aren't significant in his life?

"We can't just leave him behind to die, thunder thighs."

He took a step back. His mind was rushing with possibilities. Just play one song and that will change everything.

"Nothing will change, young man." the guild master cried out and Kageyama widened his eyes. Makarov looked at him with concern. "You cannot change the fact that those that weak will remain weak. Now maybe it's just me but I don't think that's a bad thing. Our insecurities are the reasons why guilds even exist."

Kageyama was in utter shock at his speech, completely stunned by his words. His eye widened when he continued.

"And that's why we have friends. When we have allies, it's easier to stay positive of the future. Sure there are obstacles but as long as we have faith in our future, we continue marching forward, our inner strength emerges on our own." Makarov sagely replied. "But we have to choose that path. Don't let that silly flute get in the way."

The dark wizard can only look at the old man before falling to his knees, completely forgetting about the flute. "I-I surrender." he muttered, his sight on the ground.

I looked at the old geezer with joy as I ran towards him with Mira joining me. Laxus only stood there with an emotionless demeanor before yelping when Bob got closer and started trailing behind. "You did it gramps!"

"That was an interesting speech." Mira commented and Laxus grunted in agreement.

"I wasn't impressed." Laxus grumbled before moving a large distance away from Master Bob.

"Kids! What are you doing in Clover Town?" he asked and I gave a lopsided grin.

"Isn't it obvious? We're here to stop Eisenwald!" I proclaimed and Makarov paled.

"S-So the message that Erza gave me about you guys forming a team..." he trailed off and I nodded with a smirk. He started getting dizzy before looking at us with shock and fear. "Did you guys destroy anything while I was gone."

"What? You're afraid that we may have caused some damage while we kicked butt?" I asked and Makarov paled as he braced himself for the words. I pondered before brightening up with a list.

"Well, we did break a few train stations."

Makarov paled.

"Oh and almost made an entire building crumble all thanks to lightning thighs."

Makarov's skin turned into an unhealthy white color.

"And destroyed a railroad bridge."

Makarov's eyes were void of life and his jaw dropped to the ground. I looked at the man in confusion before tapping his head. The guy didn't move. "Gramps?" I asked, "Anyone there?"

"Great, we took out the bad guy." Laxus muttered with a bored tone. "Now can we go home now? This doesn't even give me jewels." he added and I glared at the man.

"What? So saving an entire group of wizards' lives didn't matter to you at all, spark plug?" I questioned and Laxus glared back at me, his body flickering with sparks.

"So what if I don't care? You got nothing on me, matchstick." he growled and I raised my hands for combat.

"Let's go!" I yelled and we both charged but stopped when the entire ground was trembling. "The hell?" I asked but a gigantic magic circle soon appeared in the sky as we observed Lullaby change its form into a demonic shape as it raised itself from the ground. All we could do was drop our jaws as we looked at the monstrous being.

"Aww man and I thought my speech would save the day." Makarov complained before sitting down on the ground. He sighed as he stared at the three of us expectantly. "What're you guys doing? Kick the demon for us, will you?"

I only turned at him with bewilderment. "What the hell, old man? Why us three? There's like a group of guild masters here and some of them are powerful. We already did some of the work." I added in. "Besides, how did it come from a flute."

"It's a demon from the Books of Zeref. It was created from the dark wizard." Goldmine commented and I paused at his words. A demon from other Books of Zeref? I should probably look for more of those books. I'll ask Levy to help me out later with this predicament. Zeref's a dark wizard? Okay, something's off. That's not the Zeref that I know.

"I will devour your souls!" it screamed but I paid it no mind as my dark aura started spreading exponentially. My powers flared as if my entire body is attracted to the demon. I screamed in pain as I fell to my knees. My eyes started glowing purple as I looked at the demon with blood lust and and hunger. Laxus noticed this before kicking my softly.

"Hey, matchstick. Are you okay?" he asked and I nodded slowly before going back up. He looked at me quizzically before looking at the demon who just sent a beam of magic towards Fiore's army, making the forces retreat. Laxus sighed as he watched, "So I guess we have to save the day again, huh?"

"Pretty much." Mira stated as she transformed. Laxus narrowed his eyes as he started charging up.

"Then let's show them the strength of Fairy Tail!" I screamed in joy and they smirked before we charged the demon. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" I roared as I sent a flaming punch towards the demon who effortlessly smacked me away. The demon ignored the other two as it focused itself on me.

The demon's eyes widened as it scanned the darkness that was slowly rising up from my body again. Damn, it's like my magic is attracted to the thing. "Z-Zeref?" the humanoid beast asked. "Master is that you?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the size of dinner plates as they heard what the monster just said. Then they turned to me but I raised my hands in surrender. I looked at the old geezers innocently. "I don't know what the hell that giant tree is talking about." I exclaimed and everyone turned towards the demon who narrowed his eyes.

"You're not Zeref. Who are you?" it growled and I ignored it as I powered up my fist. My dark aura is going out of control just by being near the thing.

"I'm the guy that's going to kick your ass!" I screamed before propelling myself up to the air. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" I screamed as I sent a torrent of flames at the demon who blocked it with its arms.

"Thunder Bullets!" Laxus cried out as he sent his own projectiles towards him.

"Darkness Spread!" Mira yelled, combining with Laxus' orbs with her own as they combined attack made impact with the demon but it harmlessly repelled against it before sending a large beam towards them.

I narrowed my eyes as I dashed forward, stopping at the sight of the beam. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" I yelled and my own torrent of beams intercepted with the demon before creating a massive explosion. I bit my lip before preparing another attack. "Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang!"

Soon I created a burning slash towards the beast but it merely flicked it away with his hands. "Thunder Bullets!" Laxus repeated and more waves of energy bombarded the thick skin of Lullaby. The monster only got more irritated as it smacked off a few mountain tops.

"I will feast upon all of you!" it yelled as it started charging up for a massive attack. I dashed forward as I leaped on to its skin. My aura just got more intense as my eyes looked at the beast hungrily. Everyone gasped at our spectacle but Makarov seemed to be eyeing me mostly.

"Soul Extinction!"

"Lightning Blast!"

Laxus created a bolt that jolted Lullaby before a giant sphere of dark energy came forward and started obliterating chunks of the demon. I growled in response before my entire body went autopilot. I propelled myself upward as I flew forward. The demon widened its eyes as it noticed my sudden flare in power. "Demon Dragon's Roar!" I exclaimed as my orange flames turned red.

With one blow, my crimson colored flames crashed onto the demon as it crashed and crumpled to the ground before burning exploding, creating a massive crater in the process. I grinned as I fell to the ground before scanning my destruction. I sweat dropped at the giant hole made and I saw Makarov faint from shock and Mira laughing the background. I grinned sheepishly before looking at the broken Lullaby before me.

I frowned as I inspected the item. Zeref, you got some explaining to do. I snatched the item and secretly placed it in my satchel before walking up to Laxus. I gave them a smile before meeting them. Laxus gave an impressed smirk, "Nice job kid. Took down a demon with one blow. Interesting."

"It was pretty weak," I muttered before looking at the fainted body of our master. "What's with him?"

Mira glanced at Makarov before giggling. "He's got a lot of paperwork to do when he goes back."

"Speaking of going back." I muttered as I pointed at the ticked off wizards. "I think it's best if we go now."

"Agreed," Laxus stated as he distanced himself from Master Bob.

"It's good to be home!" I screamed in joy as I looked at the guild building before me. "That mission took a lot outta' me and hopefully Levy's free today!" I added, making Mira frown and for Laxus to smirk.

"And why's that, matchstick?" Laxus asked and I grinned.

"I got a few things to ask the guild's very own bookworm," I cryptically answered. Mostly concerning about Lullaby and maybe grab a few books that relates to Zeref.

"Such as?" Mira questioned enviously and I shrugged.

"Stuff," I winked before running towards the door. With one swift kick, I barged into the Fairy Tail guild hall. Everyone gave a big smile as they greeted me. With a wave, I smirked. "I'm back Fairy Tail!"

"Oh great, he's here." Gray muttered and Erza shook her head.

"Don't break the doors, Natsu. Makarov will have a heart attack." the scarlet knight reminded and I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. Erza noticed this and raised an eyebrow. "Natsu, what did you do to our master?"

I looked down in shame before pointing at Laxus who was carrying the old man. "We kind of already gave him a heart attack." I answered truthfully and Erza widened her eyes before running towards the limp body of the old geezer. She took him out of Laxus' hands before giving a glare at me. I raised my hands in surrender. I didn't do anything!

"It was just a few mountain tops, Erza. It's not like you haven't done that before." I stated and Erza bashed me in the head before going back.

"I only blew up a mountain once, Natsu." the knight responded. "And it was an accident."

"Well, mine's an accident too." I muttered but she didn't seem to hear me as she allowed Lisanna to treat the guild master. "Besides, we saved countless lives so that should at least count for something." I added but she ignored me as she went back to her new team. I shrugged before turning around to see Mirajane there. I paled as she pulled me away from the eyes of the guild mates.

"We need to talk," she muttered and I bit my lip in nervousness. I gave a quick glance at Levy who gave me a worried look. I gave a thumbs up before looking back at the S-Class wizard. I then changed my gaze towards Laxus who ignored me and started going to the second floor. Damn him. Once we finally reached an isolated area, she tossed me to the ground.

"What's this about?" I asked before recovering from her rough housing.

"Remember the railroad bridge?" she asked and I nodded. "I knew you were lying about the Lullaby."

I sighed tiredly, "I figured that you wouldn't buy my lie."

She gave a small smile before putting a comforting hand on my shoulder, "We've known each other for six years, Natsu. I think you could tell me the truth." she murmured but I shook my head.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry but no can do, Mira. All you can do is trust me at the moment." I responded and she took a deep sigh. She gave a sad smile before nodding her head.

"I'm going to be keeping an eye on you, flame brain." she pouted before hearing a commotion on the guild hall. We both glanced outside to see something that almost made me rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing anything. Is it just me or is there a walking frog in our guild? Mira looked at the frog suspiciously before walking towards it. "Who are you?"

The frog looked at the source of the voice before giving a fake smile, "I am a messenger of the Magic Council," she murmured, making everyone gasp at the sudden proclamation. "And you must be Mirajane Strauss, the infamous demon of Fairy Tail."

"So what if I am?" she questioned suspiciously but it showed no emotion as she glanced at me. I eyed her cautiously before staying right next to Mirajane.

"What're you doing here?" I asked.

The messenger soon held a piece of paper before reading it. "Out of the order of the Magic Council, we hereby give punishment for the damage that has been dealt towards the properties of Clover Town. The council has decided to arrest Natsu Dragneel." the frog proclaimed and my jaw dropped before pointing at the weird humanoid menacingly.

"Like hell I will!" I growled. I walked towards the lady until I was right in front of her. I growled viciously but she only responded with a smug smile. I widened my eyes at her weird reaction to my intimidation act before recovering. I lit my fists on fire as I pointed them towards her. All of them were about to try and stop me and I raised an eyebrow at their panicked faces. It's as if they don't want me to hurt it.

I sweat dropped at their reactions and before I could move, a giant hand grabbed my shoulders. I looked back to see Makarov look at with sadness. "Just go, Natsu." Everyone widened their eyes at the master's orders but before anyone could even retaliate, the old fool raised his hands to pause everyone. "We can't argue with the Magic Council. Now go Natsu before you makes things worse."

"But gra-" I tried to reason but was stopped as he stopped me again.

"Go Natsu." he sternly ordered. "Besides, maybe the punishment won't be that bad. All we can do is hope."

I grit my teeth at the smug look of frog before following her, silently hoping to devour the entire Magic Council with my flames. The entire guild hall was silent as they tried to recuperate from the utter shock as one of their strongest wizards left their guild to be arrested, completely ignorant of three figures that are planning something diabolical.

We reached the entrance of the palace before the messenger bowed before leaving me at the doors. I raised an eyebrow at this but before I could even ponder more on the matter, the door opened revealing a slim, dark purple haired woman look at me. She raised her hands while looking at me with a smile. "Hello, you must be the prisoner. I am Ultear."

I greeted her with my own before looking at the woman before me. "Uh, sure. Name's Natsu Dragneel."

"Then follow me please." she murmured and I obliged.

Ultear seemed to be staring at me with a weird stare as if she was kind of expecting me to do something. I glanced at her quizzically before we started walking through the large building, our feet softly stepping on the velvet carpet. I glanced ahead of me to see a figure with blue hair. I frowned at the sight, my primal instincts telling me that there's something wrong going on here.

"Siegrain," Ultear greeted and he nodded before smiling at me.

"Are you sure this is the one, Ultear? He doesn't look like him." he asked and she nodded before glancing at me.

"It is. There are still traces of his magic on him." the lady confirmed and Siergrain smirked. I snarled as he came closer to me and he chuckled at my antics before scanning my body, top to bottom.

"Tell me, boy. Do you know a man named Zeref?" he asked and I bit my lip. What the hell is it with Zeref and him associating with a bunch of crazy people. I mean, that weirdo must be one popular guy for all these guys to know him. Siergrain noticed my conflicted face and he gave a sadistic smile. "So I'll take that as a yes?"

"I don't know what you weird people are talking about." I stammered but they didn't seem to buy my lie.

Seigrain sighed, "Stop lying. It's no use. We know about Zeref and his presence seem to be coming off of you."

"Just take me to get judged, you bastards!" I yelled and they raised their eyebrows at this. Ultear smirked at my defiant nature.

Siegrain frowned before waving him off, "We'll be watching you Natsu Dragneel. You are somehow connected to Zeref and we will figure out how close you are to the wizard."

"What the hell is up with all of you Magic Council bastards?!" I questioned but they ignored it as they got ready for the courtroom.

I stood as the trials as they kept rambling on and on about how I messed up crap. "Natsu Dragneel has destroyed several properties of Clover Town. The offender was described as a man with pink hair with a white scarf and a satchel. Do you have anything to say, Natsu?"

I growled at them menacingly. "Yeah!" I roared and they leaned in to hear what I have to say. "My hair is not pink, dammit! It's salmon!" I exclaimed and they sweat dropped at the random comment. Siergrain seemed to be smiling at my childish antics and I shot a glare at him but before I could say any rude words towards the guy, the wall before me was smashed, leaving behind rubble.

The entire council widened their eyes at this before one of them stood up. "Who dares disturb this trial?"

I looked behind me, hoping for my savior but my luck failed.

Horribly.

My savior and saving grace.

Is no other than.

Laxus.

Damn it.

I gawked as I saw the lightning wizard starting to sigh tiredly. I widened my eyes as I saw him wearing a tattered white blanket around his neck and a backpack worn over his shoulder. The most notable feature of Laxus 2.0 was the hot pink hair worn on his head. I laughed at the appearance and he shot daggers at me.

"I'm definitely going to regret this." he muttered before shooting lightning everywhere. "Hey, you Magic Council scum! I'm NATSU DRAGNEEL!"

My jaw dropped but then it got even worse. Then I saw another familiar Fairy Tail wizard jump inside. I literally almost fainted as I saw Mirajane leap out of the rubble with her own Natsu look on. Then she started throwing dark projectiles around and even Laxus looked at her with shock. "Don't listen to that imposter, I'm the real Natsu Dragneel!" she exclaimed and I face palmed at their expression.

I looked at both of their hair styles and groaned. "WHAT THE HELL GUYS, MY HAIR IS SALMON NOT HOT PINK!" Then, if I wasn't shocked then I already was, someone walked shyly inside. "What the hell, Levy what are you doing here?!"

To my utter shock, the infamous bookworm stepped inside with her own Natsu look and I almost fainted from the three of them. The blue haired girl was flustered by the attention before whispering that she was Natsu as well.

The Magic Council sighed before beckoning the guards forward. "Take them away."

We stayed in the jail cell as I stared at the three of them who were stuck in the same room as I am. I glared at each one and both girls were flustered under my stare while Laxus looked bored. "Okay, mind if you guys start explaining why all of you decided to act like you are Natsu. I mean, I know I'm awesome and everything but no one can pull of the Natsu look but me. Oh and really guys, hot pink? I have salmon hair!"

"For your information, matchstick, we wanted to help you out. Well, I thought that I was doing this solo but it looked like two other people had the same idea." Laxus muttered and I stared at the two blushing girls.

"Okay, everyone elaborate to me at once!" I yelled and they sighed in defeat.

"I didn't want my strongest rival to get locked up in jail." Laxus simply stated and I shrugged at his answer. Typical electric trash.

"I just thought that it wasn't fair that you got arrested for something that our team did so I decided to intervene." Mira answered truthfully and then I diverted my attention towards Levy.

"I didn't think it was fair for them to arrest you. I mean, the entire guild all destroyed something at one point so I don't understand why they're doing it to you." the bookworm replied and I nodded.

I laughed hysterically, confusing the three before hugging them tightly. Laxus only looked irritated at this before shoving away. Levy seemed to blush brightly at this before deciding whether to hug back or not while Mirajane was completely savoring the moment. "You guys are the best," I sighed happily before glaring back at them. "But it doesn't answer my other question. Why hot pink?"

Laxus growled, "That was the only color we had in the guild! There was no freaking salmon color!"

Meanwhile with Ultear...

Siegrain looked at the girl before him. "I want you to go spy on Natsu Dragneel. Infiltrate Fairy Tail and gain his trust. I want you to gain as much information about Zeref from him as possible." he explained but Ultear frowned.

"Why do we need to earn the trust of that wizard?" she asked and Siegrain gave a small smirk.

"I don't know why but he holds the key to some of the most important questions. He has a secret that I want to solve and it's making me curious." the man explained before shrugging, "Besides, you might get yourself a boyfriend while your at it."

Ultear glared at the blue haired man, "You're one sick man."

"I try," he muttered, "Now are you going to do the job or what?"

"If it's for finding Zeref, then I'll do anything to reach our goals." he responded stoically and he smiled before their Though Projections disappeared into thin air.

I walked towards the guild building with a bright smile on my face. After an entire day, we were finally released and I took in the clear air of Magnolia. "Thank goodness I am back. I thought I was going to die in that jail cell."

"We've only been gone for a day, matchstick." Laxus commented but I glared at him for ruining my fun.

"Who cares, as long as I am out of that dump." Mira responded and Levy smiled in agreement. The demon looked at the petite girl before glancing at me. "Hey flame brain, you said you needed to ask Levy something right?" I asked and I nodded. She eyed me warily. "It better not include anything inappropriate, fire breath."

At this point, Levy and I blushed at the thought but Laxus laughed cruelly at Mira. "Is someone jealous?" he mocked.

"Of course not!" Mira screamed but Laxus cackled at the scarlet shade on her cheeks that rivaled Erza's hair.

Levy tried to ignore them as much as possible before staring at me. "What do you need, Natsu?" she questioned and I gave her one of my signature smiles.

"I need a few books from the library, Levy but I'll give you more details when we're alone." I answered truthfully and Laxus and Mirajane widened their eyes at this.

"Alone?" both of them asked in unison, their minds thinking of something different. Levy soon caught on to what they're saying and looked flustered at what to do at this moment.

"Yeah, alone." I shamelessly replied and they looked at me in shock. "What, is that a problem? I'm hanging out with my best friend, Levy." I questioned and Mira frowned while Laxus chuckled.

"Young love," Laxus whispered so softly that only I could hear it but I waved it off as not important to even argue about.

I looked at the doors before grinning. I sent a fiery fist as I barged through. "I'm ho-" my speech stopped as I looked at the familiar girl in front of me. My jaw dropped as another surprise hit me.

Ultear was in the middle of the guild hall and when she noticed me, she winked seductively. "Hi I am Ultear, the newest member of Fairy Tail!" she greeted before showing her Fairy Tail mark on her neck.

I looked with shock before pointing dumbly at her. "YOU!"

DONE!

Lullaby Arc is completed.

Ultear joined Fairy Tail to try and gain Natsu's trust and pass information but will she fall in love along the way? Those subplots. Ha ha. Damn, I think I spoiled something when I said this but oh well.

Makarov is also going to ask him why Lullaby called Natsu, Zeref next chapter as well. There's so much things to add, it's exciting!

Last chapter for a while guys. Sorry.

Tell me which pairing to focus on next since I did some Mirajane and Levy in here.

Natsu is going to be finding more Books of Zeref with probably Levy, if he tells her. I won't spoil much.

I'm also skipping the Galuna Arc. I'll just let Gray and Lucy take the job and send Erza to retrieve them. They will be mentioned but that's it. Natsu and his own team will be doing an entirely different arc while it happens. The arc itself isn't really necessary for Natsu's development.

I'm doing the Phantom Lord Arc though because I like Gajeel and yeah.
