HELLOOOOOOOO AGAIN! Oh boy, it's been a while, huh? A loooooooooong while, I know. Now I could bore you with all the details of my long absence that has to do with my health, my second job, school, etc. But instead, how about I just jump write into this crossover of two of my favorite animes; Fairy Tail and DRAGON BALL Z! I don't know why it's taken me so long to write a crossover of these two, but I'm sorry it took so long…along with me taking a long leave of absence. Now, I'm gonna have Natsu skip the Saiyan Saga (sorta) and the Frieza saga (sorta, you'll see why I'm saying sorta later) because of the backstory I've given him would sorta make him a little too OP for the Saiyans and be toe-to-toe with Frieza and I don't want to steal the spotlight from Goku and friends…yet. So, the beginning of my story will take place when Goku is dead and training with King Kai to train for the Vegeta and Nappa. You'll also see why I was saying "sorta" when I Natsu would kinda skip the two sagas because of where he's currently residing, which will factor in the far future of this story. Also, please relax when it comes to Natsu's power levels. I'm gonna try not to make him all Gary Stu and super powerful to one punch the bad guys. He'll be powerful (as I said, because of the backstory I've planned for him) and be able to grow alongside the Z-fighters, particularly Goku and Vegeta. Also no, Natsu will not be a Saiyan in this fic. He's his own type of creature and that's all I'll say about that ;). So, without further ado…

EDIT(1/19/19): Just some minor grammatical fixes, as well as a certain change to a certain part of Natsu's anatomical proportions (nothing perverted!) for story purposes. It's a very small detail, but it matters to Natsu's background.

King Kai's Planet

Goku was tired. Oh so tired. Exhausted, to say the least, but the man had to keep going. He had people to protect back on Earth. At this very moment, while the black-haired man collapsed onto his back on the ground, two powerful warriors were on their way to his home to eradicate all life on the planet, which included his wife, child, and friends. The man gritted his teeth as he tried to will himself back upwards, but failed and fell back onto the ground. 'How long have I been training here?' He asked himself, breathing slowly as he stared upwards at the pink sky above him. It seemed so long ago that he had been training underneath a blue sky without a care in the world as his wife, Chi-Chi, and his son, Gohan, were back at home enjoying life as he enjoyed life his own way. Thinking about his family suddenly left him with an empty feeling. He missed them. He missed Chi-Chi yelling at him to get a job so they could raise money for Gohan's college fund. He missed his son's gurgles and smiles as he lifted his arms up for Goku to raise him up and to put him on his shoulders. He missed his friends; Krillin, Bulma, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, Puar, Oolong, Kami, Mr. Popo…heck, a part of him even missed Piccolo, if at least for the intense battle they'd both fought in at the last World Tournament the two competed in. The Saiyan released a heavy sigh as he stared at the pink sky with yellow clouds covering its atmosphere both above and below it. He was surprised to find out that the so called King Kai resided on such a tiny planet, but it didn't matter all that much to him to be honest. As long as he had room to train, Goku was always happy.

After a few minutes more of rest, Goku quickly pushed himself up before his brain could remind his body that it was tired and landed back onto his feet. A grin formed on his face as he saw his damaged attire from his intense training; the top of his orange and blue gi was ripped to shreds, only leaving a thin blue strand of it still attached to his left shoulder. To his luck though, the part of his gi that covered his legs was still fairly intact, aside from the few rips and holes it sustained from his training regime. As always, his blue and red shoes were still in good condition leaving his feet protected. All in all, it had been a good day of training, thanks to a certain visitor to King Kai's planet. "YO! Hello!" A voice suddenly rang out, getting Goku's attention. He turned his head to see a spiky pink-haired teen with long and sharp ears floating above him with his arms crossed and an impatient look on his face. "Are you done resting already? Because if you wanna give up again-"

"Hold on!" Goku cut him off. "I didn't give up last time! I was just hungry so I stopped fighting t-"

"AHA!" The pink-haired teen yelled back, cutting off the Saiyan. "You said it, 'I', and I meaning you not me, 'stopped fighting', which means you willingly walked away from the fight. Therefore, you quit!"

Goku's jaw dropped as he stared upwards at the teen above him. "That's-that's not-! K-King Kai, tell him he's wrong!" He screamed towards the only house to reside on the tiny planet.

A loud and heavy sigh was heard from inside the house as a rather small and rotund blue alien-looking man with Teashade glasses on, a black gi with sharp shoulder points with his sigil on the front along with a long-sleeved red shirt beneath, a flat black hat atop his head with cricket-like antennae poking out of it, two other antennae poking out of his face albeit smaller ones, and two sharp and pointed ears walked out of the house. "Alright, alright, settle down you two. I don't want another argument to break out again concerning this issue. Last time you two nearly broke my planet in half!" King Kai screamed at the two, resulting in them both scratching their heads with embarrassed grins. "Now, Goku I expect this from, seeing as how his people are non-stop fighting machines-"

"Hehe thanks, King Kai!" The black-haired Saiyan grinned.

"THAT WASN'T A COMPLIMENT! YOU'RE PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY INSANE, INCLUDING YOU!" The blue Kai shouted at the oblivious Saiyan. He sighed after seeing that his words once again went unheard and focused on the pink-haired boy now descending back onto his planet. "Like I said, him I expect this from. But you, Natsu? I'd think someone with your particular training and parentage would have a little more sense than a battle-driven alien."

Goku began scratching his head again in embarrassment. "Hehe thanks agai-"

"STILL NOT A COMPLIMENT!" King Kai screamed back at the Saiyan.

Natsu, whom was laughing along with Goku at the Kai's loud rantings, put his hands on his hips. "Haha, yeah, sorry about that King Kai. But hey, when my blood starts pumping and my opponent gets serious, I just sorta lose myself in the groove, y'know? I imagine that's what happens to Goku too when he's in the heat of the battle." He smiled towards the grinning Saiyan, whom nodded in agreement.

King Kai saw the two and lowered his head. "Ugh, I swear one of these days one of you is gonna kill me. I don't know how or when, but I can just feel it in my Kai bones." The North Kai shook his head and pointed into the house. "Food's on the table. Stuff your faces and shut up like you usually do. I'm gonna go drive around in my beautiful car while I still can." He mumbled, slowly walking towards the red 1957 Chevrolet Sedan Bel-Air hardtop that he had sitting on his driveway. Opening the door, the Kai sat in, clipped on his seatbelt, closed the door, and started the ignition and drove away, albeit very slowly seeing as how his planet was again, fairly small.

Natsu waved at the retreating red car and yelled, "Okay, bye, King Kai! See ya in about…2 minutes. Cuz y'know…your planet is the size of walnut."

"SHUDDUP!" The Kai yelled at him from the other side of the tiny planet.

The pink-haired teen chuckled as he entered into the Kai's house and saw Goku already stuffing his face full of food. "HEY!" Natsu screamed. "You're eating all of it, you selfish bastard!" He exclaimed, rushing towards the table and began stuffing his own face with all kinds of food' noodles, meat, rice balls, pizza, etc. "I bret I crawn reat mwore thwan yrwou liwke lrwast trwime!" The young man said with his mouth chock full of scrumptious delicacies.

Goku nodded with his own mouth filled to the brim. "Yroure ron!"

After the two's buffet battle, both of them lay on the ground with their bellies completely full and groaning in pain. "Ugh…why did we do that again after the last time?" Goku moaned, rubbing his stomach in pain.

"Because we're stupid…" Natsu replied, groaning.

"Oh yeah…I forgot." Goku chuckled.

"You forgot that you're stupid…dude that's like…super stupid, stupid."

"Quiet you…stupid head."

"Takes one to know one…"

"You do know one. You…"

"I meant you, ya moron…"

"Nu-uh…"

"Yeah-huh…"

"Nu-uh!"

"Yeah-huh!"

"NU-UH!"

"YEAH-HUH!"

"NU-URF!" Goku stopped himself, holding his mouth closed with his hand.

"Whoa, you okay?" Natsu asked, staring at him from the floor.

Goku nodded, swallowing whatever was in his mouth and gagged. "Ugh…that was gross."

"…You were about to vomit, weren't you?"

"NO!...well maybe a little."

"Gross."

"I know you are, but what am I?"

"I can't believe your older than me, and you're the kid!"

"BLEH!" Goku stuck out his tongue at the pink-haired boy.

Natsu merely smiled and closed his eyes, welcoming whatever rest he could find before the next training exercise. However, before rest could find him, Goku called to him. "Hey, wait! Are you gonna tell me yet?"

Natsu opened one eye and looked at him. "What? The hell you talking about?"

The Saiyan leaned on one hand and stared at him. "C'mon, you know what I mean." He used the hand he was leaning on and mimicked himself eating something. "That! C'mon, you gotta teach me how you do that!"

The pink-haired teen rolled his eyes and groaned at what the Saiyan was alluding too. "I keep telling you, I can't teach what I myself don't understand. Even my father didn't know how I could do…'that.'" Natsu mimicked the same thing Goku had done.

"Oh come on! You said you've been in Other World for years now and you still haven't figured out how you can eat k-"

"ENOUGH, GOKU!" A sudden voice cut him off, revealing it to be King Kai whom had finally returned from his drive around his planet. "Natsu has told you time and time again that he doesn't know how he can use that…technique. So, for the last time, quit badgering him about it!"

Goku pouted as he sat up and crossed his arms. "OH, you're always like this when it comes to Natsu, King Kai!"

The North Kai merely shook his head as he took a seat at the table where the two were near. "It's pretty obvious why I'm a bit protective of Natsu seeing as he's under the Shenron's tutelage. You've met Shenron of your Earth. Would you wanna piss off a dragon of that size?" He asked the Saiyan point-blank.

Goku responded with a head scratch. "Hehe, yeah that's pretty true. Pissing off Shenron does seem like a death wish." He grinned, suddenly jumping aback by the Kai's muffled laughter behind his hands. "Hmm? What's so funny?" The black-haired martial artist asked, confused.

Natsu raised an eyebrow before a look of realization dawned on him and he slapped his forehead with a groan. "Seriously, King Kai? That's so lame."

"What? WHAT? I don't understand. Please, can someone explain to me what's going on?" Goku asked again, still confused as to why the King Kai was laughing to himself.

The boy who was trained by godly dragons merely shook his head in dismay and explained, "What is it that my Uncle Shenron does, Goku?"

The Saiyan stared at the pink-haired boy with a blank look and looked upwards in thought. "Umm…well…he's big and green. No wait, that's what he looks like. He…uhh…umm…OH! He grants wishes!" Goku yelled out, pointing upwards. Smiling, Natsu motioned for him to continue on with his train of thought. "…And since he grants any kind of wish, then…then that would mean he could grant even death wishes!" The black-haired fighter finished out loud, grinning proudly at having pieced together the mystery of King Kai's muffled laughter.

King Kai continued his odd mix of laughing and snorting until he finally finished. "Oh man, and here I thought Saiyans couldn't tell jokes."

"They can't. That wasn't a joke. And you're dumb for thinking it." Natsu said in a snarky tone, getting a waved hand of dismissal from the North Kai.

"Oh hush, it's not like any of the Eternal Dragons have much of a sense of humor anyways." The Kai muttered to himself.

Goku, ignoring the Kai's mutterings, grinned eagerly at the teen. "So, c'mon, tell me more of how it was like being trained by those dragons! Oh man, it would be so cool to battle at least one! Heck, maybe after my friends and I beat the Saiyans, then maybe I could wish for Shenron and I to fight!" The Saiyan clapped his hands together and rubbed them happily as he imagined what would be perhaps one of the greatest fights in his life.

Scratching his chin, Natsu looked upwards and stared at the large, yellow halo floating above him. "Man, I've been with them for so long now, I can barely remember anything else before that point. Training with them was, and still is, absolutely amazing. Even with their large bodies, they're still quite fast and a force to be reckoned with. They've given me so much, a home, power…so much that I don't think I'll ever be able to properly thank them." Natsu shook his head. "And besides, if you can't handle me, then there's no way you could handle my uncle."

Hearing the insult, Goku crossed his arms with frown. "Not true! I totally beat you last time we fought!"

"Because I was fighting you without using the Kaioken, remember?"

"Oh, I could've beat you even if you used it!"

"That's not what I remember happening last time…"

"Oh yeah! Then let's go fight right now!"

Natsu deadpanned. "With full stomachs?"

The low-class Saiyan nodded. "Yeah, wi-urgh!" He groaned to himself, holding his stomach as he felt the queasiness of standing up too fast with a full stomach hit him full force. "O-Okay, change of plans. We'll fight tomorrow then. I've still got a month left before those Saiyans arrive." Goku told the pink-haired teen, eliciting a nod from him. Seeing his approval, Goku slowly led his body to the floor and closed his eyes and quickly fell fast asleep.

Seeing that, Natsu sighed in relief. "Thank…uh…Shenron…Kaio-shin…Yenma…ah fuck it. Thank somebody because if I would've had to fight him, then there would have been enough barf to cover about half the planet." He chuckled to himself and quietly laid himself down before quickly falling asleep himself.

Picturing that, King Kai shuddered and sent a quick prayer of thanks to the Supreme Kai for avoiding that mishap.

The Next Day

It was always the same.

That same feeling before a fight. The overwhelming sense of exhilaration that came before blows were exchanged. Both Goku and Natsu felt that feeling each and every time they did battle with either each other or another. For Goku, it was simply in his Saiyan biology and psychology. His body responded to battle before, during, and after. It was simply in his nature that had been crafted and molded into the Saiyan heritage that was now nearly extinct, save for Goku, his son Gohan, the two other Saiyans that were on their way to Earth. Still, even though he was technically an alien from another planet, Goku still felt as though he was an earthling just like his friends back on Earth. 'Just hold on a bit longer, guys…I'm getting stronger, I promise!'

As for Natsu when it came to fighting, it was a bit different. While he did enjoy a good fight now and again, he wasn't as battle-crazy as his Saiyan friend was. Natsu preferred to have an occasional battle out of fun, but not out of necessity, say like a battle to prevent the destruction of one's own planet (once again, like his Saiyan friend). Then again, that would be an easy thing to avoid seeing as how he couldn't even remember how he died or who killed him let alone where he came from. The only home he'd ever known was the home world of the Eternal Dragons. He supposed King Kai's planet, 'if you can call it that…', was his second home seeing as how he often visited from time to time to get whatever training he could from the Kai. And thanks to that, he'd managed to meet someone new, Son Goku. He remembered the first day they met too. Natsu had greeted him with a wave and right off the bat Goku had challenged him to a sparring match without so much as a 'hello.' The memory brought a smile to his lips as he readied himself for battle. Because of yesterday's sparring match, Natsu had to ask King Kai to fix his own gi which consisted of, a black gi top with orange outlining on the ends leaving his toned chest bare, the kanji sign for "Dragon" labeled on the right pectoral side of his gi, white gi bottoms, a white and black scarf tied around his waist, black cuffs, and sandals adorning his feet. While the sandals were obviously a negative to have in a fight, he'd grown so accustomed to using them that he couldn't stand to wear anything different. Natsu raised his head and saw his Saiyan friend smiling at him with a look of glee, reminiscent of an excited child. He returned the smile and asked, "Ready to get your ass handed to you, again?"

Goku laughed in response. "No way! This time, I'll be the one to hand you your butt!"

The dragon-boy sweatdropped after hearing his friend's retort and decided to keep his snarky comment to himself seeing as how Goku would be too dense anyways to understand anyways. His grip tightened and he felt his veins bulge from the inside of his skin in anticipation of who would make the first move. Would the black-haired fighter immediately outright charge him? Would he use the Kamehameha wave? Would he-wait where did he go? Natsu eyes widened as he quickly started looking all around for the Saiyan that had vanished from his sight. 'Aw crapbaskets! Knew I should've stayed out of my head! Okay, don't panic. Remember your training…remember what Dad taught you. Close your eyes…' He closed his eyes and immediately began searching for the Saiyan's ki amongst the planet. 'C'mon, where are you…wait…wait for it…wait for it…wait…NOW!' Opening his eyes, Natsu yelled, "KAIOKEN!", and immersed himself in a red aura as he swerved to the right and dodged a punch from the Saiyan. Regaining his senses, the dragon-boy pushed himself onto his right palm and launched a kick straight to the man's ribs. Unfortunately, the Saiyan had the same idea.

"KAIOKEN TIMES TWO!" Goku screamed, immersing himself in the same red aura as Natsu and caught the teen's leg and pulled him towards his body. However, before the Saiyan could launch his own attack, the pink-haired fighter rushed his head towards the Saiyan's own and slammed his forehead hard onto the alien's. "AGH!" The black-haired martial artist yelled, his pain forcing him to let go of the dragon-boy's leg.

Quickly, before the Saiyan could recover, Natsu charged up all his ki into his mouth and roared, "Eternal Dragon's roar!" With his scream, the dragon-boy shot out an enormous ki wave poin-blank into the alien's face. The sudden connection from the ki wave into Goku's face created an explosion that tossed the Saiyan back into the air. Goku screamed in more pain as he felt the boy's technique slam into him from so close. Coming to his senses, the Saiyan caught himself mid-air and saw the dragon-boy flying to meet him in the air. Readying himself, the two clashed and exchanged repeated blows to one another. Or to be more precise, Natsu was the one raining blow after blow onto Goku, while Goku's were repeatedly blocked by the pink-haired fighter's.

'Damn it!' Goku thought to himself as he continued trying to connect at least one blow to the dragon-boy. 'I'm one kaioken level higher and I still can't hit him!' Angrily, the Saiyan pushed himself back from the barrage and clapped his hands together for his most famous technique. "KA-ME-"

As the Saiyan began to charge his strongest move, Natsu turned his head at a very large shouting from below. He turned his head slightly, so as not to take his eyes completely off of Goku, and saw King Kai bellowing from below on his planet. "HEY! YOU BETTER NOT BE AIMING ANYWHERE NEAR MY PLANET OR I SWEAR I'M TELLING KING YENMA TO SEND YOU BOTH ON THE FIRST TRAINS TO HELL!"

Natsu merely chuckled at seeing the Kai so furious, but could understand his aggression. There had been too many times to count where both Goku and him had caused copious amounts of damage to the North Kai's planet. And each time it happened, both of them were forced to clean up the large mess they had made from their intense training sessions. Suddenly being driven out of that memory, he quickly turned his head back to see Goku about done with charging his attack. "HA-ME-" A blue ball of ki had formed between the man's palms from behind his back as he just about finished his technique. Natsu could feel the power behind the attack and the large amount of ki put into it, along with the boost from the Kaioken x2. Most people would probably be shaking in their boots at feeling that amount of power being pointed straight at them. However, the teen whom was raised by the Eternal Dragon's merely chuckled to himself as he readied himself for the attack.

'Oh Goku…you'll never learn." He smiled to himself as Goku was just about done.

Putting his own smile on, Goku thrust his palms forward and screamed, "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" From his palms a huge blue ki wave came barreling forward straight for Natsu as the dragon-boy made no movement to get away. Slowly, Natsu pulled up a hand and placed in front of him as if he wanted to catch the ki in his hands. Grinning, the pink-haired fighter eagerly awaited the Kamehameha, until suddenly-

"What?!" Natsu said to himself, as the ki wave suddenly swerved upwards and completely went over his head. 'H-How?!'

Goku however was beaming proudly to himself as he pulled his arms upwards to change the direction of the Kamehameha. 'Thank you, Krillin! If it wasn't for your Scattered Homing Shot move, I'd never have thought of this!' By tilting his body ever so slightly, he was able to manipulate the ki to bend as well, thus helping him swerve the Kamehameha wave upwards. Quickly though, before Natsu could recover from the immediate shock, the Saiyan pulled his palms back towards him, and as such, suddenly pulled the Kamehameha wave to take the dragon-boy from behind. The wave furiously barreled towards the pink-haired dead teen from behind as Natsu slowly began to recover from the shock.

Gritting his teeth, Natsu began to tilt his body to cover the blow bef-

BOOOM!

The ki wave collided with the teen, creating a small explosion while smoke covered the air around him. Goku beamed with pride at having finally landed a blow against his friend. "YES! Haha! I did it! WOOHOO!" He cheered, throwing his arms up in the air in celebration. "Yeah! Haha, did ya see, King Kai! I got him!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs down below towards the North Kai, along with his trusty companions; the monkey, Bubbles and the cricket, Gregory.

As the Saiyan continued cheering, Gregory crossed his arms with a small smile. "What do you think, King Kai?"

The North Kai stared upwards at the cloud of smoke above them with a serious expression. "You already know what I'm thinking, Gregory. You saw it too, right?" He didn't need to look to already know Gregory was nodding beside him.

"Ooo oo?" Bubbles grunted beside them, pointing at the cloud of smoke that was finally starting to dissipate.

"Yes, Bubbles…just wait and see." King Kai nodded, still staring upwards.

Still cheering to himself, Goku finally began looking to see just how damaged the teen must have been from his at- "N-No…NO WAY!" He screamed, seeing the cloud of smoke disappearing to show Natsu…

…completely unharmed with a furious red ki emanating around him and holding his Kamehameha wave in the palm of his left hand.

"Clever clever." Natsu grinned to himself, tossing the blue ki wave ball in his hand up in the air and catching it. "Never knew you could bend ki to your whim. That's good to know. Gonna have to teach myself how to do that one of these days."

Goku, still completely shocked at to how his move could've left the teen completely undamaged, stuttered put, "B-But how? I-I had you…you were still moving to block it. H-How-"

"Simple." The dragon-boy cut him off. "I just went to Kaioken times two like you to boost up my speed and caught the wave. Easy-peasy. Granted, I didn't really need to go Kaioken x2, but hey, I barely even go above base Kaioken and you seemed so happy with yourself that I thought, 'Natsu, let's just be an asshole today and show Goku why exactly you hate surprises." He said with a smile, still tossing his Kamehameha up in the air before catching it for a final time. "You know what happens now, right?" The pink-haired warrior asked the black-haired Saiyan, who gritted his teeth as he stared at the teen.

'Damn it, I got too cocky! I should've known it wouldn't be that easy. I've got no choice…I have to stop him before he does 'that!'' Goku thought to himself as he screamed, "KAIOKEN…TIMES THREE!" Before Natsu could react, the Saiyan rushed towards him and raised began raining blow after blow to get him to release the Kamehameha from his grip. However, no matter how many hits he landed, Natsu still wouldn't release the ball. Angrily, he thrusted a knee straight into the dragon-boy's stomach and lunged straight for the ball befo-"URGH!" He grunted in pain as he felt a strong punch land straight on his face that sent him spiraling down onto King Kai's planet, causing him to crash roughly onto its surface.

"DAMN IT!" King Kai shouted, seeing once again that his planet was being destroyed by the two numbskulls. 'HRGH! I'd kill those two if they weren't already dead…and if they weren't more powerful than me too. Those two idiots! Especially Goku! I specifically told him that he shouldn't use the Kaioken above the second level! Ugh, what's the point of teaching people if they won't even listen to their mentors!' The Kai's attention was then taken by the injured Saiyan, whose Kaioken ki had disappeared, crawling out of the hole that his body had created. He could hear Goku's anguished groans as he crawled out. "Serves you right, you moron! I told you not to use the Kaioken above the second level, and what do you do?! You ignore me just so you could land, what? A couple hits against an opponent that allowed you too?"

"N-No way…he…he did-"

"Goku, look above you!" King Kai screamed, pointing towards the dragon-boy above them.

Goku, feeling nothing but pain and agony from pushing his body past the limit, slowly lifted up his head to see-"Haha…hehe…damn. He's one tough guy, huh King Kai?" He asked, collapsing onto the ground unconscious with a smile on his face.

Seeing that, the North Kai merely sighed in relief at Goku having collapsed before any more of his planet could be destroyed. He then looked upwards once more and shook his head at seeing Natsu hovering mid-air on his side staring down with a bored look on his face, his kaioken having dispersed long ago. But that wasn't the main thing the Kai was focusing on. No…it was something that both tantalized his curiosity and scared him tremendously. What his eyes were focused on as he stared at the dead boy floating above them was what he was doing to the Kamehameha wave he had caught from Goku…

…and how he was munching on it like it was an ordinary rice ball.

King Kai's house

It took a couple of hours before Goku had awoken from collapsing on the ground from him and Natsu's fight and by that time the dragon-boy had already finished cleaning up their little mess. Currently, the two were once again stuffing their face while King Kai ate a normal person's rate while Bubbles and Gregory were playing outside the Kai's house. After what seemed like an eternity of listening to chewing and burping, the two finally ceased after all the food on the table had been eaten. The two then collapsed on the floor with full bellies and happy hearts. "Ahhhh that really hit the spot!" Goku said with a smile, rubbing his stomach.

Natsu turned his head to give him a cocky grin. "Surprised you have any appetite after I whooped your butt once again."

The Saiyan merely shook off the mild insult and laughed. "Yeah, sucks having lost again to you, but I won't let that slow me down. It's not like I haven't lost before so this feeling isn't new to me. Besides, now I've got something to focus on besides those two nasty Saiyans coming to my home."

The pink-haired fighter stared at him as he was talking and didn't see a drop off fear on the man. "Nothing ever gets you down, huh?"

"Nah, not really." Goku shrugged. "If it did, then I wouldn't be who I am today!" He laughed at that, scratching his head.

Natsu nodded to that logic. However, his mind then began to wander to a much darker place as he thought about what Goku had said earlier. 'He's got less than a month before he had to return to his planet…and then I'll be alone again.' His eyes widened after thinking that and shook his head. 'The hell is wrong with me?! It's not like I'll be completely alone. I'll still have my Dad, the dragons, and King Kai and his pals to keep me company. Besides, Goku has to go and save his friends…friends…' Natsu centered his line of thinking on that one seemingly insignificant word. 'Friends…never really had one before Goku. No one ever really gave me a chance before him…' To this day, Natsu didn't exactly understand why some of the denizens of Other World were so afraid of him. Sure he was powerful, but the Eternal Dragons were way more powerful and nobody talked about them without any contempt, unlike when they talked about him. He looked down at his solid, human-like body. 'If it wasn't for the dragons and Dad, then King Yenma would've left me like a weird ghost cloud like everybody else and I wouldn't have a body like this.' Natsu grimaced at remembering the cold look Yenma gave him when he allowed him the body and remembered the ominous words he left with him as he departed.

'Make one mistake. Just one…and I promise, I don't care who you know or who your father is, I'll send you to the deepest pits of hell and leave you there to rot! Do you understand?!'

Natsu sighed at remembering that. He still didn't know why Yenma disliked him so much, but it didn't bother him all that much. Or at least, Natsu made sure it didn't bring him down that much. As long as he stood out of Yenma's way, they got along fine…well not really. 'Hmm…wonder what I'm gonna do once Goku's gone…' Sighing to himself, the dragon-boy turned his head to look at the black-haired alien to see…him staring the teen right in the eyes. "Uhhh…do I have something on my face or something?" Natsu asked, feeling around for any loose crumbs.

Goku shook his head. "No, I was just thinking about something."

"Oh…I didn't know you actually thought about things." The pink-haired warrior said with a snarky grin.

However, either the Saiyan didn't know he was being mocked or didn't care to respond in kind. "Yeah, I was just thinking about how big my house was."

Natsu sweatdropped at both being ignored and at what exactly the Saiyan was thinking. "Uh…huh. I see. Well then, any particular reason as to why you were thinking about that?"

The Saiyan continued to stare blankly up in the air as he responded, "Well I mean, if my house was too small, then my wife, Chi-Chi, would be really mad at me. But if it was actually big, then I don't think she'd have a problem with it." He rambled on, mumbling to himself as Natsu and King Kai gave each other a look.

"Umm…that's…okay then. But, why are you thinking about how large your house is, Goku?" The North Kai asked his protégé.

Goku merely scratched his head as he replied, "Well I mean I was thinking of asking Chi-Chi if Natsu could live with us when I bring him back to life with the dragon balls."

…

…

…

"WHAT?!" King Kai shrieked at the top of his lungs.

"WHAT?!" Natsu screamed alongside the North Kai in shock.

"OW! Geez, guys, why did ya have to scream so loud? I'm right here." The Saiyan said, rubbing his ears from the sheer volume of his friends' screams.

"Goku, what are you talking about? What you're saying…well, it's CRAZY!" The rotund Kai replied back to his idiotic protégé.

Goku, however, tilted his head in confusion at by what his current mentor was telling him. "Crazy? How is it crazy? The dragon balls have always been able to bring someone back to life."

The North Kai merely slapped his hand to his face by what the black-haired fighter was saying. "Duh, of course I know that! It's just…well…" The Kai slowly began to trail off into mumbles and grumbles.

Natsu, from the moment Goku had mentioned bringing him back to life and he had screamed at the man, had been frozen in shock as both the Saiyan and the Kai traded back and forths with one another. 'Coming back to life…and live with Goku and his family? Could…could I really do that?' It all felt like some weird dream. Like, this was all a fantasy and soon he'd wake up and continue with his somewhat hum-drum life (if you don't count the Eternal Dragons and living in Other World). Still…living on the planet that raised Goku seemed…like somewhere he'd be happy.

"NO! End of discussion, Goku!" King Kai growled, slamming his hand on top of the table.

Goku crossed his arms, annoyed. "Well, why not, King Kai? You've kept telling me that I can't do it, but you haven't told me why!" After having said that, the Kai sputtered and stuttered, unable to form any more words. "See? You don't have a reason! So, as soon as I'm done taking care of those mean Saiyans, I'll use the dragon balls as soon as they are able to be used again. Simple as that!" He nodded to himself with a smile, giving the thumbs up towards Natsu. "Then we can convince Chi-Chi to let you live in our house so we can train together. Plus, I have a son too, and he's in need of friends since we kinda live in the middle of nowhere hahahahaha!" The Saiyan laughed to himself. He then stopped to look at the thunderstruck dragon-boy to ask, "Well, what do you say? You wanna come back to life and live with me and my-"

"YES!" Natsu said, cutting off the martial artist and surprising both the Kai and the alien. Noticing his over-eagerness, he scratched his head with an embarrassed grin. "Hehe…I mean, yeah. I'd…I'd like that. My dad and the other dragons will be probably a little miffed because I'd be cutting my training short, but something tells me that I'll get plenty of training alongside you hahahahaha!"

"But…But wai-" King Kai trembled, stuttering to get a word out.

"AWESOME! Then as soon my friends and I beat the Saiyans, we can wish you back to life with the dragon balls! Granted, you'd have to wait around a year for the dragon balls to fix themselves after my friends use them to wish me back, if that's alright with you." Goku said to the pink-haired fighter.

Natsu eagerly nodded in response.

"Wait…h-hold on-"

"ALRIGHT! Then how's about we get another sparring session you and I to celebrate!" The Saiyan said, hopping up happily.

"Wait…n-no…h-ho-" 'Oh Yenma and the other Kais are gonna kill me…'

Grinning, the dragon-boy nodded and slammed his fists together. "Bring it on…cause I'M ALL FIRED UP!" 'Yes…I'm gonna live again! And who knows what kind of adventures I'll be able to go on and the techniques I'll learn…I CAN'T WAIT!' Natsu happily thought to himself as he walked out of the Kai's house. The teen, however, had no idea what exactly was in store for him; What kind of foes he would have to face, the tragedies that would befall him, the mysteries that would be unraveled. Luckily though, the pink-haired fighter would not have to face those issues alone. Not anymore. All that could be said now was that a wild card had been put into the deck. A card that would change how the game would be played and who would be the players. As for how the dragon-boy would change the game, only time would tell…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAND THAT'S A WRAP! I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK! I know it's been a while since I've been on, but it's all an extremely long story and like I said, I'd rather spend time writing about this story. I don't know why I waited so long to write a crossover of two of my favorite animes, but here it finally is. Now, like I said before, Natsu will not be a Saiyan in this fic. He is somebody who has been trained by the Eternal Dragons and will have his own set of moves, while also learning new techniques from the Z-Fighters. Plus, if you haven't noticed, Natsu seems to have a blurry past along with a peculiar ability to eat ki…and that will all be explained in the future!

Now, as for the arcs, like I said he will technically be in the Saiyan and Frieza sagas, but in Other World cause he's…well dead so he'd be no help. So unfortunately for Goku and Natsu, they won't be able to bring him back until the Namekians are on Earth and they can bring him back. Luckily though, he'll at least be able to meet Piccolo, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha when they go to visit King Kai's planet in the Frieza saga. So, to summarize, I will kinda skip the Saiyan saga and lead into the Frieza saga next chapter where he will meet the dead Z-fighters and will have to play spectator to the fight between Frieza and the other Z-Fighters (plus Vegeta). From the Android Saga on is where Natsu will make changes and be a more productive member.

Also, as for pairings, now if you've been reading my fics before you know what I'll be doing so I'm gonna need your help for the newbies. On the count of 3, yell out what the pairing will be for Natsu in this story…1…2…3!

"HAREM!"

Very good! You remember! Now yes, this will be a harem fic, which will most likely consist of Android 18 (sorry Krillin, but I have another woman lined up for you…probably Maron, the blue-haired woman), Kefla, Kale (yeah, those two won't come into play for a loooooooooooong time, but it will give me time to develop Android 18 and Natsu's relationship!), maybe Android 21 because I like her as a character. Feel free to give me any more suggestions and I will take them into consideration, barring people like Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Videl.

And one more thing, I'm sure I'll get plenty of people saying, "AHHHH Natsu could never beat *insert name here* this is bullshit! Blah blah blah POWER LEVELS!" Yeah well, let a quote from TFS Vegeta explain how I feel on the subject, "Power Levels are bullshit!" And they really are sometimes, but I will try and keep it in believable circumstances though.

Anyhoo, I'm PUMPED for this story and if you like Fairy Tail or DBZ and you are just as pumped, then feel free to leave a favorite, follow, and a REVIEEEEEW!
