I wanted to get the first chapter up in a week, and a week came so here we go:

General gist- I dislike Lucy leaving Fairy Tail, time skips on training (BS chapter 1 ends leaving for training, chapter 2 starts 5 years later, never hear why they got stronger via flashbacks) and Lucy in general.

This story idea is based on those dislikes, and the fanfiction Trading Dragonslayers by bamboowarrior

If you are reading this story. You most likely already understand the general ideas of Fairy Tail and RWBY, so I won't be going over some things.

REMINDER: This story is a reboot, there are some minor changes for the first chapters, however, the ideas were ALWAYS implemented.

And if you don't like spoilers... you probably shouldn't be reading fanfictions until you finish them. Now if you're like me and don't want to watch the 200 episodes and gave up somewhere around 120 and just don't care about spoilers, go for it!

Natsu was walking along the streets of Vale with a pale, pink haired girl. The two were at the receiving end of strange looks, mostly because the girl was one, in a maid outfit, and two, had chains, and by that logic, was the maid of Natsu.

This girl, was the Celestial Spirit, Virgo. "Natsu, I believe you should get some rest, you have been taking a handful of requests recently." Virgo mentioned.

"Oh come on Virgo." Natsu replied, waving his hand dismissively. "I need a place to stay, and now I kinda understand why... why she never liked rent." He trailed off at the end before looking away.

Virgo sighed, she knew that look, it was the one he wore the most after he left the Guild hall all that time ago. It was also the one Loke, or Leo, had after he finally got to return to the Celestial Realm, that is until a few of them beat him out of it. "And we understand that Natsu, but if you do not get some sleep, eventually you will crash."

"One more, look, someone wanted to talk to me and left a message so I might as well meet them okay?" At this moment Virgo glowed yellow, knowing this moment the two smiled, albeit, Natsu's was a bit bittersweet. "I'll see you later?"

She shrugged, "Maybe. I'll talk to you another time, Natsu." With that she disappeared. The looks that came their way, came to an end.

"Alright, Mr. Ozpin, let's see what you want." The lone dragonslayer muttered to himself as he entered Cafe B-Set.

A girl came up in skates, "Welcome to BETS Cafe, can I help you with anything? We're a bit full at the moment." She said apologetically.

Natsu smiled, "Actually, I was asked to come here by a, Mr. Ozpin?" He asked unsure if she'd understand.

"Oh, you mean Headmaster Ozpin! He did mention he was waiting for someone, you must be him, he's in the back. I'll take you to him if you'd like." She offered.

"Sure." He smiled, while inside he thought, 'Headmaster?'.

Meanwhile, during his walk, the man in question was drinking out of a mug, reviewing a message he had just received on his scroll.

As the two approached, he set the item down and stopped drinking to acknowledge the two. "Thank you Ms. Tempestra, would you mind leaving us alone so I may discuss with him?"

She gave a one hand salute, "Sure thing, but could I get you two anything before I dash off?"

The two politely declined before she left.

"Headmaster Ozpin, huh?" Natsu asked seeing where this may be going.

"It seems Ms. Tempestra, might have let a word or two slip." Ozpin chuckled, "Indeed, I am, and I'd like you to join my school." He began to give Natsu the basic rundown of what it means to join Beacon, as well as the opportunities it came with. "Now, do you have any questions?"

Natsu looked at the man, "Just one, why me?"

"You have quite the interesting semblance, manipulation of not only fire, but lightning as well. It's quite peculiar, we've seen semblances manipulating one element, but two is unusual." Ozpin said, "We've also been aware of you're actions of previous jobs, taking down a hoard of Grimm by yourself is no small task."

Unknown to the Headmaster, Natsu was not alone, he had the help of a certain pink haired spirit. "It was nothing, honestly. Okay, so my... semblance, is a bit unique, and I've done a few monstrous tasks you say others would find difficult. I suppose I could join Beacon."

"Excellent, now then wou-"

"Just one moment, I do have one request." He smirked.

Ozpin raised a brow at this, "Oh, well I'm sure we can come to an agreement."

A few hours later, Natsu found himself on a Bullhead heading towards the pristine academy in Vale.

Feeling a bit bored, he pulled out a ring of keys, and eyed a golden key with two parallel blue waves. He did after all make a promise to her. Natsu took a glance around to make sure nobody was looking.

"Open Gate of the Water Barer, Aquarius Eclipse." 1*

"Natsu!" A little girl cheered. She held a large vase full of water, and was pretty strong for her size.

He smiled, "Hey, Aquarius, I remembered my promise."

She looked around, "Where are we?"

With that, Natsu began to delve into the basics of why they were here. "Anyways..." He trailed off, "What do you want to do?"

Her eyes lit up with joy and began thinking about a few games to play. She would have suggested her usual, which really was fighting, but considering they were in a rather closed off space. Not so much.

"Um... excuse me? Is that a kid?" A voice asked. The two turned around to see a teenage girl with blond hair, and another albeit younger, girl with black hair and red tips.

Natsu nodded, "Yeah, she's the little sister of one of my friends, she snuck on when I wasn't looking, but don't worry, I already called her sister, she said she'd pick her up at the landing pad."

The younger of the two females looked at the girl, "Hi there, what's your name?"

"My name is Aqua!" She replied, Natsu raised a brow, luckily neither noticed. "Do you want to play with me?"

"Sure thing, I'm Ruby! This is my sister Yang." The now named Ruby said.

The four played little games, mainly 'I Spy', a bit of tag, though that didn't last for long when they saw a kid barf. However the trip was a rather short one so all they got to do after was introducing themselves more fully.

Upon landing, Natsu was thankful for the rush of students, Aquarius Eclipse left, not without a quick hug to Natsu, and vanished before anyone could notice. Ruby also got left behind after a mob of students took her sister and dashed away.

"Yang wait!" A dizzy Ruby yelled before tripping onto another's luggage.

"Careful you dolt!" Natsu turned to the new voice and saw a girl who if she were any paler would blend in with her clothing near perfectly. "Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?" She came down as a bit condescending.

"This is dust, mined and purified from the Schnee Dust Mines." She said grabbing a vial that had escaped from the cases of luggage. However she appeared to have failed to notice that the vial had also been slightly opened causing the dust to spread into the air. Unfortunately this caused Ruby to sneeze and activate the dust.

However, Natsu just happened to be close enough to breath the fire in, though the pressure from the explosion still caused the duo to stagger. "I'd be careful," He started, "Ruby, I understand that you one, tripped because of your sister." This caused the other to slightly flush, having jumped to the conclusion that Ruby was simply a clutz or didn't pay attention, "and that you were about to sneeze because the vial was leaking... but you really should cover your mouth when you feel like you are about to.

"Oh, and you, Ms..." He began, looking at the white haired girl.

"Schnee, Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee dust company." A third came in. "The same company known for it's questionable business actions."

"Thank you, Ms. Schnee, I know that Ruby was partially at fault, but shouldn't you have at least made sure it wasn't in the way? A large number of students are still entering Beacon and could become distracted too." Natsu pointed out.

Silently, Natsu really thanked Capricorn and Aquarius, though he hopes they never find out he thought that way. Capricorn was serious about studying, and Aquarius was just as likely going to punish him for not doing so.

"First off, you!" Weiss turned to the new girl, "I don't recall anyone asking you. Now... I'm sorry, Ruby was it?" She asked and received a nod. "I was making sure I hadn't left anything on the trip here."

"It's fine, I should apologize myself, I mean, my sister did knock me off my balance, but I could have stopped my sneeze. Thanks for that Natsu, hey wait where'd Aqua go?" Ruby asked before searching for the child.

He smiled, "Her sister picked her up, they got the bullhead to bring them back since they didn't notice her sneaking on and leaving before making sure of it."

At this moment, another person came in, though for once it's a guy. "Hello,"

Ruby, her ever so bubbly personality greeted him back. "... Aren't you the guy who threw up on the Bullhead?"

Natsu couldn't help but chuckle. He felt a buzz at his side and peeked at his scroll.

"While we do appreciate the fact you are attempting to make friends, I believe you had a request. Meet me at my office, it's atop the center spire.

-Headmaster Ozpin"

He looked at the trio before shaking his head, 'They'll be fine... I think.'

"Thank you for joining us, Natsu." Ozpin called to the teen as the doors opened. He was joined by a woman who he'd assume was a teacher. "This is my colleague, Professor Goodwitch." She gave a nod of the head to him.

Natsu gave one in return. "So... about my request?"

Ozpin reached into his desk, "It's quite the strange request, but here you go," he pulled out a stamp and put it on Natsu's shoulder as per requested.

"Where I came from, it's to signify where we received the job. There were certain benefits from it, but then again, this is a school, food, lodging. Pretty much the same as back home."

"We look forward to seeing what you can do, Mr. Dragneel." Professor Goodwitch spoke for the first time since meeting.

He nodded and made his way out, "I'll see you at the stage."

One speech later

Natsu was sitting outside, the sun had already set, and Natsu was once again with Virgo.

"So you come for a simple job request, and end up going to school, to do more job requests." Virgo asked.

"Well along with having a place to stay, time to rest, and getting to study without the threat of being victimized to Aquarius' attacks, seems like a win-win to me." Natsu rationalized.

"I didn't say that. I'm just saying, you left to do one more bit of work, only to find a way to get more work." She shook her head but smiled, "You seem a lot happier than recently."

He couldn't help but smile back, "Well I did ask for Aquarius Eclipse to come for a moment. She really knows how to make people smile." Natsu gazed off into the night sky just wondering how things were going back at the guild, and if anyone realized he had left yet.

"Always the promise keeper," Virgo stated smiling, "Do try to rest up, and Natsu?"

Natsu gave a noncommittal "hmm?"

"Glad you're happy." She disappeared in a flash.

'Look out Remnant... you just woke a sleeping Dragon.'

1*- Remember when I spoke of summoning another spirit when the primary Golden Gate was in use? Yep. Eclipse version. Don't worry I'll go over this later when the discussion with Team CFVY comes around

AN:

So yeah, chapter is shorter than originally, but I tried changing things around in the canon story.

1. Chapters might be shorter so I can actually update in a maybe weekly, or bi-weekly schedule (depending on how busy I am) This is by NO means a promise, I can't tell you I will update, just when I probably can.

2. I'm really going to try avoiding a second rewrite as some stories do.

3. I'm terrible at fight scenes, so to make up for it, I write more story telling and dialogue scenes. So yeah, expect more of that than fights.

4. I stopped watching Fairy Tail after season 1, all information after comes from me reading, and coming to my own conclusions.

Just some things you should know of.

I will be explaining anything I change from #4, and until next time, this has been DualStarduster, signing off.
