Hey guys! The Oblivion Overlord here!

Now a few things that need to be said. This story will be just Natsu X Wendy ONLY. I made it like this because there are very few stories I've seen with this pairing. Either there aren't that many, or I can't find them. Anyway, this will just be Natsu X Wendy and that is final.

As for Cero, she will be Natsu's pupil, albeit Natsu doesn't want any pupils he'll have to because she is stubborn as all fuck, slightly more than Natsu. XD Also, Natsu introduced her to the guild, including her being the drake she fought earlier, when she told them that she wished to be trained by Natsu Shishó the rest laughed and started giving Natsu ideas and hints, which led to a blushing Cero and an irate Natsu.

The start of this chapter will be a timeskip of a day or two just so you guys don't get confused that much when it starts. Also a little thing I forgot to add for Natsu's Dragon form, the end of his snout has a horn pointing upwards similar to Igneel's, as well as the jaw tip.

He also has horns on the sides of his head that are pointing back and curving towards the top a little. His body structure is similar to Acnologia's, I mean the build of the chest, arms and legs. The only difference is that Natsu has slightly bulkier muscles and he has the gold 'armor' pieces.

Anyway, that is about everything I need to say. So, here is the next chapter! Enjoy! :D

Also sorry if there are a few timeskips.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the idea.

Chapter 4 Red Redemption

Sitting in his chair behind the desk glaring at the mortal enemy of all guild masters was Natsu. He was glaring hatefully at the one enemy that has continuously defeated them no matter how powerful each generation of guild master may be…..

PAPERWORK….

"When Jiji comes back, the first thing I'm gonna say is I'm sorry. I now know how he feels..." Natsu muttered under his breath as he started reading a bill/complaint, which involved Max and his two teammates, and several houses filled with sand, ash, and mud.

Sighing, Natsu read through it and piled it in one pile and started sorting the destruction complaints and repair prices in one pile, the personal request for some mages and other things like that in another pile, and finally the more useless stuff in the last pile.

Because of how busy he is currently, he didn't hear the door open and Kinana run in panting and a little pale. "Master! Huff...huff...huff..." Kinana called out before panting even more, out of breath, and bowing a bit placing her hands on her knees.

Looking surprised Natsu stood up from his seat and walked around the table to get to her side. "Kinana?! What's wrong? What's got you in such a hurry?" The dragon slayer asked with worry evident in his voice. After breathing heavily a few more times Kinana finally answered. "Cero and Wendy are fighting!" Natsu's eyes widen a bit in disbelief. "What?! Show me." He said seriously. The barmaid nodded and jogged to the door with Natsu following behind her, going through the hallway, the two could hear the sounds of fighting. Mainly the howl of the wind and rapid crystallization of ice.

Opening the doors the guild master saw Cero and Wendy in a deadlock against each other, their respective elements surrounding each other, Cero looks like she's enjoying this while Wendy looked angry. "You take that back!" He heard Wendy shout to Cero. "Make me!" She yelled back. Tired of being in the dark, Natsu flared his magic dangerously and bellowed out. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" His loud call interrupted the two and made both Cero and Wendy pale a bit. Hopping over the railing, Natsu landed on the floor with a heavy thud before walking towards the two while the other members gave way for him.

Turning his head to the left, making Wendy flinch and look down at her feet, and then turning his head the opposite way, making Cero's eyebrow and mouth twitch before looking away from him. "Look, friendly brawls is the normal Fairy Tail way, but this..." Natsu looked around and gestured at the mess around the hall, flipped chairs and tables along with various ice formations on different surfaces.

Looking at both of them, Natsu crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "So? What were you two arguing about?" He said in a calm but also commanding voice. Wendy looked away even more, but Cero just flinched a bit before looking away. "I… may have, went over the line a bit." Cero murmured loud enough for them to hear. A little aways, Max snorted. "Yeah right, 'a bit'? You called Wendy's dragon parent a terrible mother." Cero turned her head and hissed at him, making the sand user jump back in fright.

"I never said that! I just said she is inferior compared to drakes." She finished with an arrogant snort. Natsu saw Wendy's hands clench into fists, he then let loose another powerful wave of magic to get their attention. "Alright that's enough! Cero... Wendy... Tell me what happened. We have time." Natsu finished with him sitting down on the bar counter in a similar manner to Makarov.

The Sky and Blizzard sat down on the stools away from each other. Wendy fidgeted a bit in her seat. "Well… it started when-"

- Flashback an hour earlier -

Sitting on a bar stool was Wendy and she was just eating a sundae with not that much of an effort. Focusing her mind elsewhere entirely, most of her thoughts now revolve around a certain red dragon and her. She was gonna continue her day dreaming if she wasn't interrupted by a new familiar face. "Oi oi oi, what's with the long face?" The light blue headed girl asked with a small mischievous smirk on her face.

Wendy just sighed and looked away. "Nothing really." She said as she just went back to picking at her sundae, making Cero look at her with a puzzled expression before she thought of something and sat beside Wendy while wrapping an arm around the smaller girl. "Aaaaahh.~ Are you thinking about shishó?~" Cero asked with a very big and toothy grin. The blue haired girl just blushed beet red and covered her face in her hand before pushing Cero with her other hand. "N-n-no..." She stuttered while turning away from the smirking girl.

Cero stared at her with a mischievous look before just turning on her seat and just leaning back onto the bar. She stared off at her new guild members, she thought of reasons why would Natsu even let her join, she lifted a hand to her neck to feel the light blue guild mark printed there using the magic stamp press, thing. "It still boggles me, why did shishó let me join, despite the knowledge that I was about to destroy this place." She murmured, mostly to Wendy, in hopes that she may shine some insight in why he did it.

Said blue haired girl just turned her head to look at her and give a small almost unnoticeable smile. "Natsu-san, despite never saying it. Is also the same as master Makarov when it comes to giving people second chances. But he also knows if one is not worth it, Natsu-kun probably saw good in you. That's probably why..." Wendy muttered with a small smile.

The taller girl just looked at her, looking even more confused you could practically see the question mark above her head. "You humans, sometimes confuse me..." Wendy giggled at that and went back to her sundae, this time actually eating it instead of picking at it. The two girls were just silent, not saying anything until they heard three sets of footsteps. They turned their heads to see Ultear, Meredy and Nab surprisingly. Meredy jumped and waved at them cheerily. "Hi!" Wendy waved back while Cero just smirked at them, annoying Ultear. "So time witch, what are you doing with the indecisive one?" Ultear stayed silent, the one who answered was Nab actually. "Ehhehe… Meredy-chan wanted to go on a quest but she and Ultear are under watch, and she spotted me so… Yeah, we are going to leave soon after we go to the mission catalogue." His answer drew the attention of a few guild members.

"Nab actually going on a quest? Blasphemy! Hahaha!" A random guild member shouted. "Hahaha! Yeah! Don't worry, there will still be plenty of quests when you get back!" Another shouted. "So Nab, finally gotten a quest have you? Well have fun then, and remember to cause havoc." Wakaba called out to them. Nab blushed in embarrassment. "Oh shut up guys!" He shouted while waving his fist at them comically.

Wendy looked at Meredy and asked. "So, what quest are you going on?" Meredy made a kitty face and showed her the poster. Wendy and Cero looked at it with curious expressions. "Lizardmen infestation has been bothering farmers near the rivers, get rid of the Lizardmen. Rewards are 75,000 Jewels. Whoa, must be a lot of Lizardmen then." Wendy said as she looked at the poster of three lizardmen carrying spears each.

The black haired time user lifted her hand to phase a time stamp to see that it's getting close to noon now. "I believe it's time for us to go if we are to reach the town by nightfall." She said as she phased out the time stamp and lowered her hand. Meredy and Nab turned their heads towards her and nodded, Meredy turned back to Wendy and Cero before waving at them. "Bye bye guys! We'll see you when we get back!" The hyperactive pink girl cheered out before running out the door followed by Nab who yelled to wait up.

Ultear shook her head as she waved at them before following Meredy and Nab. Wendy waved back while Cero just looked at her as she left. The drake in human form then turned to look at Wendy before nudging her with an elbow lightly. "So. Who is your parent? You smell like shishó a little but your scent is more of clean air." Wendy turned her head to look at the taller girl. "My momma's Grandine, Sky Dragon Queen, and the Grand Healer of the Skies." Her words served to surprise her as Cero's eyes widened.

She smirked however in a mocking and challenging tone. "You? Under the wing of that inferior species? Don't make me laugh." Her words made Wendy clench her fist. "I mean, I'd never have thought that sky dragon would even dare have another whelpling, after losing her clutch once. Bet she didn't tell you that, huh? Makes her even more pathetic." Cero kept going on, not noticing the negative emotions building up within the little girl beside her.

"You take that back..." A whisper broke through, shutting her up. Cero turned back to see Wendy's head bowed down, she grinned savagely at the her. "Oh? And what are you gonna do about it?" Her words chose Wendy's decision. Faster than she expected, Wendy's left hand covered in a tornado smashed into Cero's face, launching the cyanette towards the far end of the guild, breaking through multiple tables and chairs while flying there.

Cero wiped her jaw as she spat a drop of blood to the floor. "Heh, that was a clean hit. Impressive, maybe that softie did teach you something useful." Her words aggravated Wendy even more, as evidenced due to her shoulders shaking.

The blizzard user stood up and raised her hands to the side, creating floating icicles and the area around her started to grow icicles and snow. "Come, prove me wrong!" She yelled out with a manic grin as the others panicked and started running away from the two girls.

Wendy gritted her teeth as her coal eyes gained a sky blue glow before she launched herself at the woman, just as Cero launched massive ice spears and crystals at her.

- Flashback End -

"-And uhh… that was pretty much what happened..." Wendy finished while twiddling her fingers looking down at her feet. Cero just crossed her arms and looked away, but she looked at Natsu for a split second and saw him glaring at her with ill-concealed anger. "While Wendy didn't need to rise up to the bait.-" Natsu started, making Wendy look down even more, and for Cero to gain a ghost of a smile.

Natsu disappeared and phased into existence behind Cero before whacking her gently on the head, making her fall into the ground eagle-spread into a small crater. "It's not good to insult your comrade's origins. You may be a drake, but we didn't judge you. I'd have figured you've learned that lesson when you joined the guild. I'm disappointed in you." The guild master said as he squatted down to her ear.

"If you really want to be my pupil, then you must first learn what it means to be in Fairy Tail. Remember that." He whispered to her only, but Wendy heard his words and smiled a bit, albeit shakily.

He stood up and heard a muffled. "Hai, shishó..." from the downed Cero. Sighing, Natsu looked around the guild only to fall to his knees and cry crocodile tears. Making the others panic at this. "Master what's wrong?!" Wendy asked worried.

Natsu just kept sobbing. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS IS GONNA COST ME?!" He yelled out to both of them while waving his arms to 'show off' the damage done to the main hall.

That was when both Wendy and Cero looked around slowly to see just how much did they trash the place. Broken windows, trenches of ice and snow, ice growing from the pillars and ceiling. There are small tornados that have been there for a while now, and two holes in walls to the outside world.

Wendy and Cero sat on their knees and stared at the place with white expressions, before looking at each other and back at Natsu, who was shaking. "Uhh, haha… Shishó?" "M-master Natsu?" Cero and Wendy collectively asked.

The guild master raised his head to show dark red flames surrounding his body, burning balls of magma for eyes, and a gout of flame coming out of his mouth. "GO OUT THERE AND DO SOME JOOOOOOOBBBSSS!" His yell served to blow them away to the quest board. Where they both got two jobs and Wendy grabbed Laki and Cero grabbed a random mage girl by the name of Ploxy. Before they ran out the door with the two girls floating in the wind by the wind and blizzard user.

As soon as they went out the doors, one door snapped off it's hinges and slammed into the floor. Natsu calmed down and sighed, mentally counting the numbers for repairs. "I should ask tips from gramps when he gets back." His words brought chuckles all around.

- With the girls -

They stopped at the train station, panting from the running while the girls they dragged were on the ground with swirls in their eyes. They shook their heads and stood up albeit shakily while Wendy turned around and apologized while bowing to them.

Cero on the other hand just huffed and looked somewhat pissed and confused. Wendy turned to the girl that Cero unwittingly dragged here. "So, uhh what is your name miss?" The girl blinked before she took off her hat and bowed to her. "My name is Ploxy Poro(1), I hope we can get along." She said with a smile and a sort of airheaded aura.

Wendy and Laki nodded with smiles of their own while Cero just huffed again, but looked at them with a half smirk before turning to Wendy. "So pipsqueak, what jobs did we get? We each got two jobs in a panic and I don't really know what they mean." She asked the other blue haired mage. While a little peeved at the pipsqueak comment she grabbed her fliers and moved to a nearby cafe table who didn't mind them using it for a while.

"Let's see… There is a bandit group harassing farmers and need to be beat up and captured, worth 30,000 Jewels, they are a relatively small group so they aren't worth that much. Rank B Quest." She set the flier with a picture of three armed bandits with the one in the middle being bald aside to her left. She picked up the next one. "Gathering herbs that grow only on the mountain and will give a bonus if we find a shining sapphire ice crystal. Reward is 10,000 Jewels, Bonus is 25,000 Jewels. Rank C Quest." She then set aside the flier with different herbs and an ice crystal to the side.

Ploxy and Laki looked over her shoulders while Cero looked over her head. Annoying her cause she can feel their presence and solidifying the fact she is a 'pipsqueak', not that she'd admit it. Ploxy read the next one. "The third one is a babysitting job for a family, they have tons of kids and the parents want to go on their anniversary. Wow, the reward is 60,000 Jewels just for babysitting a bunch of kids. The quest is Rank C for some reason." Ploxy said in amazement as she picked up a flier with a picture of a mansion.

Laki looked at the last one and looked at Cero with a stare. "For sure, Cero-chan will like this one. Hunting expedition, hunt the wyverns that have overpopulated the forest near the town. Reward is 25,000 Jewels for each Wyvern killed. Minimum number of Wyverns need to kill is 15, Maximum number of Wyverns allowed to kill is 35. Rank A Quest." Laki finished and looked back at Cero who now looked like she was drooling.

The drake in human form shook her head before seeing that the other three were staring at her with confusion. She then explained. "Wyvern meat is actually quite delicious when you cook it right. It's also a good meal for a growing clutch." Wendy and the others understood that she meant good for the babies, baby drakes and dragons it seems. She then turned to the only girl with a hat. "So Ploxy, what kind of magic do you use?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. The other two looked at her with interest as well.

Ploxy Poro, a girl by the age of 17 with a height of 5'4. She wears a white shirt with a puffy collar under a dark blue coat that looks suited for a bard with white puffs on the cuffs and maroon puffy hammer pants, as well as high heeled black boots with a high collar. Her hat is a very dark maroon musketeer hat with a green plume on the side and a part flipped upwards. On her back is a strange contraption that looks like a large horn but with several designs on it. She smiled and took the instrument off her back and looked at the others. "Why don't I show you?" She then raised her hands lifting the instrument to her mouth and played a rather strange but soothing music, they all looked at the different bright lights pulsing into existence around her and saw a literal sheet of music notes leaving the horn and surrounding her, pulsing from her is a golden light.

The three looked at her in surprise, awe, and even with a smirk. The drake laughed with a huge smirk. "Who says music can't be a weapon? We got a user of music right here!" Her words served to make Ploxy blush and stop her demonstration. She looked at the others. "Though I don't need to create music I can just use any instrument as a medium for me to use my magic." She explained.

Wendy nodded and so did Laki and Cero. "Well..." The bluenette looked at the others as they looked at her. "Let's get to work then, I doubt master Natsu will be pleased to see us slacking." Her words drew out nods from the others. Cero looked at the train station with contempt. "I don't want to get on that." She muttered quite loudly. Ploxy looked mischievous. "Well, sorry Cero-chan, but you'll have to get on the train if we have to go to any of our quests." Her words drew a shiver from the cyannette. Cero just huffed and stomped towards the station. "Let's just get this over with." She was followed by the other girls.

- A few hours later with Natsu -

"FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Natsu's rage towards the ever growing paper stack was unbreakable until a knock on the door shook him from his rage. He sat back properly and coughed into his fist and calmed down before looking at the door. "Come in." The door opened to reveal a certain person. Natsu's eyes widened before narrowing in suspicion. "So, what are you doing here?"

The man across from him grinned a bit maniacally and spoke with amusement bleeding from his voice. "I heard from those fairies back in Tenrou that this is a place for a new life and redemption. Is it not?" His words served to make Natsu's eyes narrow even further.

"That is true, now what do you want? You'd have to have balls of steel showing yourself to me... Zancrow." Natsu finished with a very low growl and slow rise of heat around him. The shirtless blonde smirked and looked at the guild master with interest. "Well, when I heard former enemies of Fairy Tail, such as the Water Witch Juvia, and the Iron runt Gajeel, joined this guild despite their pasts, even the lightning bastard Laxus was an enemy from the inside, but he was redeemed. I was interested in why they joined this place." Zancrow slowly walked to Natsu, his black flames slowly covering his arms and legs, creating black smoke.

He stared at Natsu with a smirk as Natsu stared back with a glowing red glare. If one person were to walk into the room, they'd feel like they were being cooked alive since Natsu's crimson flames and Zancrow's black flames were currently smothering the room with overwhelming heat. But they both powered down and Zancrow's smirk turned lopsided and his eyes became relaxed instead of crazed. He let out a loud single laugh before he looked into Natsu's eyes. "So, with that said..." He started.

Natsu looked at him with relaxed but cautious looks, when his eyes widened with the next set of words. "Can I join this madhouse?" Zancrow finished with a huge shit eating grin. The former Grimoire Heart member laughed at Natsu's speechless look and calmed down only when he heard the guild master yell shut up angrily.

The red dragon rubbed the bridge of his nose in exasperation. "Goddamn, first we get a drake as a member, now we get a crazy asshole wanting to join..." Natsu closed his eyes to think for a second before he opened his scarred eye and stared at Zancrow. "You do realize when you join Fairy Tail, killing is a big no unless it's the last resort?" He finished with a slow pressure exerting from him.

Zancrow's lopsided smirk became wider as he looked at Natsu with barely concealed amusement. "Don't worry boss, I won't do that, but… There's nothing with leaving them barely alive right?" Zancrow finished with a glare and a smirk as he felt the pressure from Natsu suddenly spike.

Natsu closed his eye and hummed. "I suppose… But you better control yourself Zancrow, the moment you join Fairy Tail, you become family. So, you better not beat up the other mages too much, you can beat them up during the brawls, but not within an inch of their life. Got it?" Natsu finished as his eyes snapped open glowing crimson red and exerting a massive pressure on Zancrow, who almost lurched forward from the massive pressure.

But as easily as it came, it disappeared. Zancrow's smirk didn't disappear and he shrugged nonchalantly making Natsu's eye twitch. "Don't worry boss, I got ya. Hah, perhaps I should call you kuso-jiji?~" His words got a reaction from Natsu as his head grew to epic proportions and bellowed at the blonde man. "Get out of my office brat! I'm neither shitty, nor a grandpa! Go to Kinana to get your mark." Zancrow ran out of the office laughing and laughed even harder when he heard the parting words.

With a sigh, Natsu placed his head into his hands. "The council will get a kick out of this one. For fuck's sake." Natsu lamented as he banged his head against the desk. Miraculously the stacks of papers didn't move from his actions.

He looked up when he sensed Zancrow was far enough from the door. "So what do you think? Mavis-sama? Think he's legit?" The first master of Fairy Tail phased into existence beside him in a sassy pose and with a pout on her face. "I told you to call me Mavis-chan Natsu-kun!" Her whining didn't affect him whatsoever except for a raised eyebrow.

She huffed and looked towards the door. "I sensed no ill-will, and only sensed slight regret, for what I don't know, but he's still crazed. To be honest, I think you did the right thing. Letting him join." She said and hugged Natsu. Said dragon slayer sighed and looked at the door with half-lidded eyes as she stopped hugging him. "I hope you're right about that." He murmured as Mavis disappeared into golden lights. Natsu went back to the papers. Now sober from the encounter with the god slayer.

- With Zancrow -

The blonde haired man slowed down to a walk and smirked even wider. He came into Fairy Tail in a stealthy fashion, not really his style but he's gotta get to the Red Dragon without the other mages noticing, and now that he got the all clear from the guild master, he can now join the guild.

'Didn't think that I'd end up in the guild the old boss came from but… She's here, so I think I can manage not killing, for her at least. Heh, who knew the squirt would make me soft.' He finished and stopped at the double doors that separated him from the main hall. He grinned widely. "Time to make an entrance." He lifted a foot and slammed the door open, he smirked wider when the other mages looked at him and eyes widened before they started powering up their magics when he just waved and walked down the stairs nonchalantly.

Zancrow walked in front of the bar where a blue haired girl was, so this was Kinana eh? But just to make sure. "Are you Kinana?" His question shook the girl from her thoughts and nodded, not trusting her voice seeing an S-Class wizard of the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart is right in front of her. Zancrow's smirk grew wider, and he sensed the other wizards creeping up behind him.

His next words got everyone to fall on their face though. "So the red dragon told me this is were I get my guild mark. Can I get one?" His question combined with his huge shit eating grin made every wizard in the vicinity face fault to the ground.

He turned around and saw everyone on the ground on their faces. "HAHAHAHAHA! What's wrong?! You surprised to see me here saying I'd join this place?" The response to his sarcastic question came from behind the bar from the barmaid Kinana.

She groaned and held her head to stave off the coming headache. "Pretty much yeah… Wait, Master…?" Her unasked question drew out a bigger grin from the god slayer. "Yep, boss let me in." Kinana shivered at his grin but got the stamp and asked what color and where does he want it.

Zancrow looked to the ceiling surprised that she accepted his presence and asked why. She smiled shakily. "Let's just say, I trust Natsu-sama." Her words made his and every other mages eyes widen a bit before Zancrow bowed his head with a smirk. "Huh, you trust him eh, well alright then. I'd like it on my right chest colored dark purple with a black border yeah." She nodded and she walked around the bar and set the stamp on his chest. The light shone under the stamp as Zancrow watched it in interest and the others with baited breath.

She sighed and smiled as she removed it to show the Fairy Tail symbol on his chest in his wanted colors. Zancrow nodded with a smirk and did something that no one thought a mage from Grimoire Heart would do. He pat Kinana on the head gently. "Thanks."

He then walked away to a random corner, as every other mage got back to what they were doing but also discreetly looking at him in suspicion still not trusting him. That's fine with him, he didn't think it'd be easy anyway. 'Heh, this will be an interesting time here. Gonna surprise the Time-witch and pinky soon when they get back.' He finished his thoughts and just looked at all that was going on.

- The next day -

Grumbling, Natsu was walking through the hall to his office with a cup of coffee. 'Goddamn, word reached the council in no time, I let him join the guild for a day and he's attracted so much trouble already, and now the stuck up idiots want me to go to them to talk about my recent choices. This is troublesome.' He took a sip of his coffee to wake him up a bit more, he was up all night arranging those damned papers.

He entered his room to see a certain person leaning against the desk. "What is it Mest? I told the council I'll meet them sometime today. I'm not in the mood for talking to the old geezers." Natsu said with a moody growl.

Mest/Doranbolt sweatdropped at the moody remark from the guild master of Fairy Tail. "I'm sorry Natsu-dono.(2) But they want to talk to you now, the choices you made for your new members are a secondary thing. What they want to talk about right now with you, is the drake threat." Mentioning the drake threat immediately got Natsu's attention, and he nodded.

"Alright then, but I'll leave a note on the bar for Kinana to read later when they come into the guild. After that we can go." Mest nodded at his words and watched as Natsu got up to his desk take a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a letter before infusing the letter with his magic and speaking a bit, allowing the message to record his voice and mimic it later.

He then set the pen down and looked at Mest he nodded and turned around his scarf flapping around the nonexistent wind as Mest walked behind him. The two arrived at the bar and Natsu placed the letter on the counter before using a nearby mug as a paperweight. He then thought about a few things and wrote a few more things in the letter, addressed to a certain blonde maniac. He nodded and turned to Mest. "Alright, let's go." His words drew out a nod from the council mage and he placed his hand on Natsu's shoulder.

- Council Chambers -

Phasing into existence, Natsu and Mest were in the middle of the room, looking around Natsu saw each of the council standing on their own magic circles as a permanent magic circle was spinning underneath the glass floor.

Natsu looked to the side to see Mest disappear before he decided to mimic the Council if only to irk them and created his own crimson magic circle and had it carry him up to their eye level. Irking a few members. "So, Mest told me that you old geezers want to talk about the drake threat? I do hope you're taking them seriously." His eye twitched when one member waved his hand nonchalantly.

"The drakes and dragons are very few anyway, I doubt an army of them would be coming to Fiore anyway. But I'd like to point ou-" He was shut up by the massive pulse of magic coming from Natsu, who shook his head. "Please don't tell me most of you still think that… Especially when I had to face and kill two of these in the span of a few days, you can't be bloody serious?!" Natsu looked around to see several council members either flinch at his gaze or look away.

Natsu palmed his face absolutely amazed at the ignorance and complete disregard of life that the council had. He was about to go into a rage when the head of the council Gran Doma spoke up. "Enough. Even I can see that the drakes are very dangerous and can threaten to swallow Fiore whole. I find this meeting but a farce but Natsu-dono, I'd like to hear your input since you faced two drakes and come out victorious." His words had every single member of the council staring at the guild master.

He closed his eyes in thought and hummed to himself. "Hmm, well Shuryo, the magma drake I faced the first time. I won with skill, and mostly pure luck. The drakes are no easy enemy. The only reason why the second one I faced, the blizzard drake was easier to beat because I am her natural anti-element. But the other drakes will be far stronger than any of the previous ones I fear." His words brought discontent murmurs and even suspicious glares.

"How do we know you aren't just over-exaggerating the so-called drake threat?" An old female council member named Belno demanded. Natsu snapped his head towards her and she flinched at the glowing red gleam of his eyes. "It's better to expect worse outcomes and prepare for that with powerful defenses, than expect lower outcomes and prepare only for that." Natsu growled out.

To his surprise Org nodded, and he knew that the old man was an avid anti-Fairy Tail member. "As much as it pains me to say this, but the boy is right. Better expect something worse and prepare for it than get run over by the tide." His words drew a scoff from another council member. A man with black hair, sideburns, and black round glasses turned from Org and back to Natsu. "I highly doubt that drakes would dare invade Fiore, the rune knights are more than enough for those overgrown lizards." His words however drew the ire of the guild master.

Natsu swiped his hand as flames started simmering all over his form. "You idiot! Need I remind you that you already tried throwing rune knights against Shuryo the first time he came here?! Your so-called elite rune knights couldn't even scratch the drake. Using Rune Knights against drakes, is like using a tiny pebble against an avalanche." Natsu finished with a loud growl.

Gran Doma's eyes were closed and he hummed to himself. He tuned out the arguing of the guild master and the other council members before he opened his eyes and pulsed his magic. The others quieted down and Natsu looked to him. "How do you suppose we combat the drakes then? If normal magics can't pierce their scales, than what do you propose we do?" His words made Natsu put a hand to his chin, thinking of ways for common mages to combat the drakes, or at least stall them long enough for a dragon slayer to arrive.

Yajima finally spoke up. "Natsu-kun." His call received the attention of all but he continued. "I heard you recruited several new mages, three being former Grimoire Heart mages. Now, I share Makarov's ideal that people can be given second chances, however Zancrow worries me. But I have to ask. Can the God Slayer kill a drake? I mean, God Slaying magic IS Slayer type Lost magic." His question about Zancrow sparked the ire and interest of several council members.

Natsu hummed. "Hard to say, Dragons and Gods are both Mythical Beings. I have no doubt that Slayer Magic can counter an enemy of the same being, however I do not know if God Slayer Magic can damage drake/dragon scales or if Dragon Slayer Magic can damage gods as well." His words made more of the council members restless but Yajima nodded, slightly satisfied but also disappointed that Natsu doesn't know.

The dragon slayer hummed again. Before he snapped his fingers. "What I think for now, is that every town in Fiore has to have a bunker. To at least delay the drake or drakes in case they attack." Leiji the one with the sideburns snorted. "I thought you'd be telling us military capabilities to take those beasts down." Gran Doma pulsed his magic, now angry at him for disregarding the lives of people. "I agree with Natsu-dono. The civilians should be top priority and they should be safe during a drake attack." The other council members nodded, though some were reluctant.

Michello looked at Natsu. "Fairy Tail has the most, if not the only guild that has dragon slayers, and Redfox is gone since Tenroujima disappeared, and who knows where Laxus Dreyar is." The others nodded at his words. Org smirked. "Not really, a guild I'm sponsoring has their own dragon slayers. They are a fairly new guild but the more dragon slayers the better yes?" His words made Natsu narrow his eyes at him.

Gran Doma however looked interested. "What is this guild's name?" Org looked at all of them, gazing at Natsu a bit longer. "Sabertooth. Their dragon slayers are Sting Eucliff and Rogue Cheney. The White and Shadow dragon slayers respectively." His words drove the other council members barring Gran Doma and Natsu slightly mad. There are two MORE?!

The chairman drew his magic and pulsed it in a massive shockwave, silencing everyone. "Natsu-dono, what do you think? You are the only one that has experience with any drakes and survived so I'd appreciate any input." The other council members grumbled but saw the smart move.

Natsu hummed even more and looked at Org. "Org-san. These two, how strong are they? And I'm not talking about how much property damage they can do, anyone can do that. I need their skill set and their attitudes when fighting." His words made Org snort. "As if you aren't any better-" Natsu clicked his tongue, silencing him. "I've changed, being the guild master, I know I can't be as carefree anymore. Besides, whenever I fight, I know what's at stake and just have that fight loving attitude as a mask. Though whenever fighting draconic beings I have to restrain my draconic urges to charge in like a madman guns blazing. I need to know if these two will be able to restrain their own urges." Org blinked not expecting that answer from the one that causes the most property damage every year.

Belno thought about something. "What about that girl? Wendy Marvell I believe her name was? Would she have urges when fighting against a drake?" Natsu turned to her and shook his head. "No, she is currently too young for the urges to come up. For a dragon slayer, the draconic urges arrive when they age up to 15-17 years old. She is currently 13 years old, and has little to no combat capabilities strong enough to defeat drakes." He said. 'Though she is slowly getting there...' He thought, inwardly crying at the state of his guild hall before.

The old woman nodded and turned to Org. Who was deep in thought. 'I'm starting to regret mentioning them, if what the boy says is right… Then Sting and Rogue might not be able to control their draconic urge to fight. Rogue might, but Sting is a definite no.' He was interrupted from his thoughts. "By that expression of your face the two slayers are in the age group aren't they?" His words made him flinch which answered his question. Natsu continued. "The goal of the dragon slayers is to kill the drake or get them to leave with minimum civilian casualties. We are going to probably fight defensive skirmishes against the drakes. So we need strong walls and magic cannons, as well as more healer mages, if only to make sure the other common mages stay up longer to hold it off until a dragon slayer comes." The council nodded at his input.

Gran Doma however saw Natsu's eyes, and saw that there was conflict within them. "What is it Natsu-dono? You seem hesitant for something." His question drew the other council members attention. Natsu closed his eyes and sighed heavily. "I'm going to regret this somehow…" His words worried some of them, since whatever he is going to ask is probably going to be BIG.

Natsu opened his eyes and looked at the Chairman of the Council in the eye. Who stared at him with a stern but slightly curious gaze. "Gran Doma-sama. I ask you this..." His use of honorific alarmed him and the others visibly.

They saw him pause, looking extremely hesitant before he said his next words. "Release former Oración Seis member Erik codenamed 'Cobra' to my command."

And just with those words all hell broke loose in the chamber.

Chapter 4 Red Redemption End

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY GUYS! The Oblivion Overlord here!

Sorry things took so long with the updates. But now I'm FREE! From the tyranny of college… For now, so using this time, I'll try to update faster than before. I hope I do anyway.

So here are a few notes.

(1) If anyone guessed if this was a homage to Nightblue3 then yeah, this is the very same Ploxy Poro, she will be a 'bard' mage. Her personality is being a happy go lucky airhead, and a bit of a troll. -Insert Trollolol face here-

(2) Mest/Doranbolt or whatever you like to call him. He knows when to be punctual and respectful when the situation calls for it.

With that said you might be wondering why I'm bringing Zancrow in when it's obvious he should have died to Zeref at Tenrou. But I didn't kill him off because well, I didn't want Ultear and Meredy to be the only ones from Grimoire Heart joining Fairy Tail, and to be honest. I find Zancrow interesting.

Now the squirt he mentioned, I think you guys already know but I'll reveal it in the next chapter.

Oh yeah, by the way, when the time comes. Natsu will tear a new one from Jiemma and the 'Slayer brothers', the brothers won't be bashed for long but they will be bashed.

And since it's near the end of March the poll is closed. Here is the votes for the new story. I'm kind of disappointed not many tried to vote.

Sword Art Online – ALO The God of Undeath = 6

Accel World – Steel Evolution = 2

Boku no Hero Academia – Rise of the Golden King = 1

Though to be fair probably not many people know about it and only now you just found out so I'll leave the poll open until March 31. THEN I'll close it. Hope you vote! ^^

With that said. Hope you guys like this chapter! Review if you like. And I'll catch you guys later!

This is The Oblivion Overlord! Signing out!
