With Natsu

"Hey Iron Dragon." Natsu waved. "What do you want?" Gajeel asked. "Nothing much. Just wondering if you felt something during your fight with Ultear." He smirked. "Gi hi. You fucked as I thought you did something to me-, no , not directly to me. But to my dragon side. What the hell are you?" Gajeel asked.

"Glad you pick up fast. Makes my job easier. I am Natsu Dragneel. The Flame Dragon King. What I did is that I've let your dragon side feel know who's the boss. I've shown you a King level Dragon Power or a Royal Dragon Power. You think you're the strongest Dragon Slayer? Well, I'm afraid you're wrong. You can get killed because of your ignorance." Natsu glared darkly.

'Yeah right. Flame Dragon King my ass, Ramus!' Natsu thought to himself.

"Haaah? How can the Flame "Dragon" King be a human? Are fucking messing with m-" Gajeel cut himself off and began to think. 'Wait. If he's lying what did happen that time? It's fucking unexplainable unless what he's saying is true.'

"You've become quite puzzled. Well, I just came here to tell you... Join Fairy Tail. You'll be able to draw out your real power there. I can bet my whole life that you'll be able to reach your peak there." Nastu smirked.

"Fine then." Gajeel agreed as he stood up.

"Natsu..?" An old man said.

"Yo, Gramps." Natsu waved, wearing his signature grin.

"I see. So you've already beaten me to it, huh?" Master chuckled "Hehe..." Natsu laughed, holding a peace sign with his hand. "Hey, Gajeel." Natsu called out his attention.

"Yeah?" Gajeel replied.

"Go to the back of the guild hall first. Gramps and I will meet you there. We have a business to finish."

"Okay."

As soon as Gajeel disappeared from their field of vision Natsu said, "Gramps, let's do it here and now."

"Hmmm. Very well. Be prepared, Natsu. This may not be easy." Master warned

"Heh, I'm prepared for anything." Natsu joked. "Okay then... Here I go!"

...

"Hngh!" Natsu began to feel pain he have never felt before. 'What's this? This is easily the highest level I have ever sealed and it's still sealing more? Just how powerful have you become, Natsu?' Master thought.

After the sealing, neither the Master or Natsu talked. Finally Natsu said, "Gramps, I don't know how many levels the seals are but please don't talk about it to anyone. What happened here stays here, okay?" Natsu gave the Master a nervous smile.

"Of course, child. And if you ever need to release some of your power just chant "Magic Release:" then the level of the seal you want. As easy as that. Also, I'll tell you the level you've reached. It is a must for you so you know up to what level you can release. And! When you reach the final release, or even want to release it all at once as you cannot if you chant the words I said earlier because it only releases up to ten levels, there is something special you have to do. Your one of your most special ones will do something then you'll be able to release it all. But before I tell you your level, can I ask you the reason why you want to seal your powers away?"

"During my training I've met a Dragon." The Master's eyes widened at the revelation. "He was the one who I trained with and he said that if I use too much of my magic I"ll turn into a dragon. And as you've sensed, my magic container is way too vast for a human now so if I ended up using half of that it..."

"Will make you transform even faster." the Titan Mage finished.

Natsu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. And if I were to seal it, it can be slowed down due to the fact that I can only use some of my magic the you know what that means." Natsu explained.

"Okay, I understand. Now, your level of seal is..."

With Ultear

"Mira, Erza!" Ultear shouted

"Why?" Mira and Erza asked at the same time

"Natsu said to meet at the same place in the forest. He said he wants to say something to us." Ultear explained

If anyone were to hear that conversation they would see the reason why their mood suddenly brightened up.

"Alright/Okay, be there in ten!" They shouted back

"My, my, aren't they a little to excited?" Ultear said with a problematic smile.

"Why? What happened?" Lucy suddenly popped out from nowhere.

"Oh? Nothing. It's just that we'll meet Natsu in 10 minutes. They're probably excited." Ultear explained. Still looking at the same path the two took with a faint smile. Lucy only nodded in response.

"Heeeh, so that pink haired dude is Natsu. He doesn't look much to me." A guy with black spiky hair said. You three women have poor taste in men, Ultear. You sure you won't go out with me? At least I already proved my strength by defeating that old coot." He continued.

"Don't be too cocky just because you've defeated Gildarts twice, Travix. Plus, Yes, I'm already sure. And also, you're a million light years too early for you to compare yourself to Natsu." Ultear said with a confident smirk.

"You'll regret this, woman." Travix clicked his tongue and walked away.

"So, who's Gildarts? Sorry for asking so many questions Ultear." Lucy gave her an apologetic smile

"It's fine. You're still new here after all." Ultear gave her a warm smile. "Gildarts is the Ace of the guild. You still haven't met him becuase he went on a job the day before you came." She answered.

"Ohh. So why did you say not to get big headed just because he beat him twice. He's the guild's Ace and all after all." Lucy asked

"Because a day after Natsu and I joined this guild, Natsu fought him and tied with him. And we're just around 10 or 11 at that time."

'Damn, how strong is Natsu?' Lucy asked herself.

"Well, see you later, Lucy. Mira and Erza might be there already. Oh wait, I can bring you there too. I know he won't mind. I have to introduce you to him too after all."

"Great idea!" Lucy excitedly shouted.

In the forest

"Just like when we were kids, right? Before we train." Mira laughed.

"Yeah, this really takes us back, huh? And he was the one who introduced this place to use before his surprise leave. He probably haven't trained here for even a second." Erza said

"Then we will all lay down on this tree to rest because no one wins. We always end the fight in tie. But the difference tonight is that we aren't training or anything. We're meeting Natsu here." Ultear reminded.

'So they're really close even from their childhood.' Lucy thought

A couple of seconds later Natsu arrived.

"Hey guys, missed me? Just kidding. So, how are yo-" Before he could finish the sentence a fist coated with fire was sent towards him. "Hey!" Natsu shouted as he dodged the attack. But unfortunately it was followed by a barrage of swords he continued to dodge the attack until he felt a tree on his back. 'Shit!' He self shouted.

"Hey, stop it. We're here to talk to him, right? And you were the one to remind that us earlier, Ultear." Mira stopped the two. "Just checking if he lost his touch." The two replied in complete sync.

"Well, that was surely one helluva welcome." Natsu laughed.

'What's with these people? I'm pretty sure I sensed killing intent back there.' Lucy thought in shock.

"Lucy, the new member, was it?" Natsu asked while Lucy nodded. "Okay then. Better be used to it, Lucy. This will be happening every now and then." Natsu laughed while the others giggled. Lucy could just stare in shock.

"Damn I missed you girls." Natsu hugged Mira, Erza, and Ultear and the three hugged him back then nodded.

After a while Natsu broke the hug and said, "Hey, Lucy, wanna hug too?" The blonde bimbo felt her face heat up as hot as magma. "Just kidding." Natsu laughed. "Jeez, Natsu. You shouldn't tease Lucy like that. The poor girl looks like she's about to explode." Mira scolded. "Sorry, Mira." Natsu laughed some more.

"Anyway, there's really no big reason why I called you here. I just wanted to tell you that I really missed you and I want to know how you were while I was gone." Natsu explained.

The three told Natsu how they became S-Class, and when it was. And how they trained. How Laxus is a huge prick. They're all smiling and laughing while Lucy just listened to them while smiling warmly 'And here are some of the strongest Fairy-, No, strongest Mages here in Fiore acting like a bunch of kids fitting for their ages.'

"So Natsu, how strong have you become now?" Erza asked. "Yeah, yea. That's right, Natsu." MIra and Ultear supported.

"Well, I"m in Gildarts' level at most. Probably a bit higher but I have a really big container now. I also trained my raw strength that might give Gildarts a hard time." Natsu explained well... of course he lied!

The girls seemed to buy it though. They just nodded but then asked, "So, when did you get that earring?" This time Ultear asked.

"Huh?" Natsu traced both of his ears and noticed the earring in his right ear. "What.. The.. Fuck?" Natsu muttered. "I don't know... I don't remember how or when I've got it." Natsu replied honestly.

Seeing how shocked Natsu is they nodded and accepted his reply. "Also, Natsu, there's someone in here stronger than Gildarts. He's around our age. His name is Travix. He's also a Dragon Slayer." Ultear said with full seriousness in her voice.

"So basically he's the current strongest, huh?" Natsu said and the four reluctantly nodded. "Well, don't worry about him. Trust me." Natsu replied. This brought smiles to their faces. Lucy thought how amazing Natsu was because with just 7 words he managed to brighten up the mood of the other three girls.

"It's good to see that you still have your confidence." Ultear teased. Mira and Erza nodded as they couldn't agree more.

Natsu laughed nervously, "Well, I'm sorry but there's still something I have to do. Don't worry I'll be all yours tomorrow." He didn't leave without winking at them causing them to have tomatoes for their faces.

"I didn't get to know him that much." Lucy deadpanned while Ultear and the others laughed at her.

"Well, let's head back to the guild." Mira suggested as the others followed.

With Natsu again

'Wrong move, Natsu, wrong move. You just dug your own grave by winking at them. You know you can't do that! You can't have that sort of life!' Natsu mentally cursed himself before proceeding to enter the Master's office.

"Gramps! I presume this earring has something to do with my seal, right?" Natsu barged into the Master's office.

"Glad to see you still as quick witted as ever, Natsu! By the way, there's also something underneath your scarf and wristband along with your right ankle." Master explained with a wide grin.

Natsu checked them to see necklace and bracelets made of dragon shaped silver. The chains are also made of dragon along with it's pendants.

"Natsu, I'll tell you this. Every last one of them contains the seal. Meaning..." The Master let Natsu finish his sentence.

"They have a total of 197 pieces, right?" The Master nodded.

"Well, thanks for that Master. I'll go back outside now." the perverted old man nodded again.

Outside

There's pretty much no one else here. He saw Erza, Mira and Lucy go to the basement for something and Ultear with someone and somewhat... Struggling?

"Hey, Ultear, look here. This will be the last chance you'll ever get with me so break up with that pink haired bastard!" Travix demanded as he held Ultear's wrist.

"It hurts. Let go of me. I don't want you, asshole." Ultear said as she tried to break free.

"Bitch!" Travix shouted as he cocked his fist back ready to punch Ultear.

Natsu saw everything and when Travix shouted his eyes widened.

Ultear closed her eyes waiting for the pain. But as soon as she close her eyes she heard a loud crash and felt heat through out her body. (A/N: Not that kind of heat. Perverts.") She saw Natsu boiling with rage. Veins popping out from him.

"Bastard, touch Ultear again and I'll fucking kill you!"

A/N: Yaaaay! Natsu comes to save the day! It has been a long work. Sorry for having a short update. I'll try to improve the length next chapter. So... What do you guys think?
