So I just got the idea and decided I wanted to write this for fun.

The story holds spoilers from the 100-year quest, so don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled. But the only thing I'm using so far is new characters such as Ignia, Igneel's son and I might add some others as I go further into the story.

I'm gonna be changing some personalities, along with some back stories. I'll also probably add some OC's to the story.

I'll be mostly following the canon arcs, with some changes in them.

I hope you enjoy the story. I always appreciate the reviews but please, I'm kinda new to this so don't judge too harshly.

Fairy Tail

X777

Somewhere on Earthland, beyond the vast blue seas, on a certain continent, a dragon laid still, sleeping on the tall grasses of a clearing, when suddenly, a familiar scent and sensation, awoke the large beast from its slumber. He flickered his eyes open before grinning.

"It seems he's finally here. Now the fun begins"

A devilish smirk appeared on his face, he got up and as he stretched his bat-like wings, he flew to the skies.

Somewhere in the kingdom of Fiore, as the heavy rains dropped on the ground, the forests and the whole area darkening, and inside the dark woods, a small boy sat of the soil, his body wet from the raindrops as he sat motionless on the ground, looking down, his bangs covering the teary eyes, filled with sorrow and abandon.

"I don't understand, why did you leave Igneel? Did I do something wrong?... Please, answer me" he voiced in whispers, a few tears falling on the grass.

A little further away, a small old man walked through the forest, and as he passed by, his attention suddenly turned to a salmon-haired boy, sitting under the rain, half-naked with only a white scaly scarf wrapped around his neck, alone in the middle of the forest. He frowned at the state of the boy and directed his path towards him. The boy became wary has he felt someone approaching, looked up and saw the old man, just a few feet away from him. They stared for a while before someone spoke.

"Where are your parents, boy?"

The small boy looked away, "He left"

The older man's eyebrows furrowed deeper, he then sat down in front of the boy, who averted his eyes back to the man. "What are you going to do now?".

"I'll go look for him. I will find him. He wouldn't just leave without reason, I know it." He stated, clenching his fists, his onyx eyes still holding onto the hope of seeing his father again. He stared at the man, who gave off a warm smile, which kind of surprised him since he didn't really expect a stranger to care at all.

"How about you come with me. I'm sure we'll find someone who can help you find your father. Tell me, what does he look like?"

The boy smiled and got up "He's a red dragon! Did you by any chance see him?!" He asked, his voice holding hope and optimism, he looked impatiently at the man, awaiting his answer. The old man looked at him with wide eyes and blinked 'A dragon? Here? I thought they were all extinct? How does this boy know one? He said his parent was a dragon, but how?' He regained his composure and cleared his voice "I'm sorry but I haven't. Your father is a dragon?" he asked curiously.

He smiled and nodded "Yeah! He's the fire dragon king, Igneel. He raised me and taught me dragon slaying magic." He confidently declared, prideful of being his son.

To say the man was shocked was an understatement. He looked at him in astonishment. He finally came to a decision. He extended a hand and grinned widely "Well, you see, I'm the master of a magic guild called Fairy Tail. Mages come and go all the time. If someone sees a dragon, we'll be sure to know. Instead of wandering around aimlessly, how about you come and check out the guild? It might help you in your search"

The small boy thought about it for a few seconds before giving a toothy grin, showing his sharp canines "Yeah, that would be great. Thanks a lot, old man"

"I'm not that old" he mumbled "My name is Makarov. Nice to meet ya"

"I'm Natsu Dragneel."

"Now then, let's get going." Makarov motioned for him to follow him, and they set their path to Magnolia, the town where one of the rowdiest and strongest guilds in Fiore resided.

The two walked for a few days before arriving at their destination. Along the way, Makarov took it upon him to get the pink-haired boy some clothes as he was walking around almost naked. That probably wouldn't have been the best idea, considering they had to walk through towns. While being in each other's company, they got more acquainted. Makarov took the opportunity to teach him a little about guilds and the country and was a little surprised to see that the boy knew so little about society. But then again, he did remember that Natsu lived most of his life with a dragon and away from civilization. The dragon slayer talked a lot about his father and all his training. He happily told the old man stories about his adventures with the dragon.

Finally, Magnolia came into view and the duo walked through town, Natsu looking at everything in awe, as he watched people doing leading their everyday life, the shops and... They arrived at the doors of the Fairy Tail guildhall, Natsu looked at the large building amazed, excitement clear on his expression. Makarov smiled at the boy and opened the door. Natsu's jaw slightly opened when he saw the interior of the building.

It was so full of life, the sound of people chattering and laughing filled the area. Natsu looked around, saw people drinking, eating, talking and having fun. The place looked more like a bar. But the magical presence he felt was so warm and welcoming, the place really appealed to him.

Makarov sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He took a deep breath, before starting to yell at everyone "WHAT DO YOU BRATS THINK YOU'RE DOING?! Every time I leave for these meetings and I come back to a total wrecked guildhall! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS ALL COSTS?!" Natsu sweatdropped at the old man and then his eyes wandered around the Guildhall before realizing how wrecked the place was. It looked like a storm blasted the guild apart.

"Oh hey Master, welcome back!"

"Who's the brat with ya?!"

Makarov grinned and put a hand on Natsu's back "This is Natsu, he's gonna be a part of the guild." They all cheered and Natsu grinned in response.

"I bet he's as destructive as the other kids."

"I think we just need one more of those before the guild turns into dust."

"How strong is he? What magic does he use?"

The sound of laughter and joy echoed throughout the place. Natsu followed Makarov to the bar, where he got his guild mark. Red, on his right shoulder. He got some food from the bar, and as he ate, he observed the place and the people in it.

"How do you like it so far, kid?" he turned around and say an orange-haired man, smirking at him, sitting next to him.

"It's awesome. Everyone seems so fun and lively."

"I'm Gildarts by the way. Yep, that's Fairy Tail for ya." He continued watching the rowdy people in the room along with Natsu. "So anyway, what magic do you use?"

"I use fire dragon slaying magic. I learned it from my dad. He's a fire dragon" he announced and was confronted with a surprised look form Gildarts. But they were soon interrupted with the arrival of a raven-haired boy. "Yeah right. Dragons are extinct. You're just a liar."

Natsu scowled at him and glared at the boy in his boxers "Igneel is real. He's the fire dragon king, and he taught me magic." He retorted and hoped off the barstool. "I bet you're just making up this story, Pinky" he grimaced and glared. "Shut up you pervert" The two buttheaded as they continued to glare daggers at each other.

"Who're you calling pervert?!"

"You obviously. You like stripping in front of people or something?"

"What the- when did that happen?!" The boy realized he was down to his boxers, startled, he started looking around for his missing pieces of clothing.

"Gray~ What did I tell you about walking in the guild in your boxers?" A scarlet-haired girl, wearing some kind of armor appeared, bearing a dark expression. The raven-haired boy gulped. Natsu laughed at his expense and after seeing the terrified look on his face. His laughter soon stopped as the girl collided both of the boys' heads together and they both fell to the ground, groaning as they messaged their bumps. "No fighting in the guild! Is that clear?!" She demanded.

Natsu ignored the other boy's signals to 'not retaliate' against the red hair girl, got up and scowled at the armored mage "Who the heck do you think you are?! You can't tell me what to do!" he yelled, but his expression dropped when the girl's expression transformed into a terrifying one. He gulped and tried to hold onto a strong expression, failing miserably at it.

"You wanna repeat that?!" she asked in a dark and warning tone.

"No ma'am!" Natsu announced as he dropped to the floor. "She's scary" he whispered. "Tell me about it" Gray mumbled, agreeing with the pink haired boy. They grinned at each other.

"Oi Red! Good job in scaring the new kid on his first day. I think it's a record" A white-haired girl with her hair attached in a ponytail, wearing a punk style clothing approaching as she laughed hysterically at the scarlet mage. She received a glare from the other girl.

"I didn't scare him. I just informed him of our rules in the guild." She retorted, justifying her actions to the white-haired mage.

"Yeah, she's right! I'm not scared of her!" Natsu got back up. He then felt a tug on his shirt and looked down at Gray "Dude, don't get in the middle of those two." he warned him. Natsu shrugged and looked back at the two.

The scarlet mage approached the white-haired one "If anyone scares people, is you, demon"

"Oh yeah, maybe that's because I'm stronger than you, armored freak"

"You? stronger than me? Not happening!"

"You wanna settle it then?"

"Bring it on Slut. No way you're stronger than me"

Natsu who was standing next to Gray looked at them in confusion, "Didn't she just say not to fight?"

"Yep," Gray nodded in agreement.

Out of nowhere a small white haired girl, followed by a tall white-haired boy approached the group. "Big sis, can you please not fight again," she asked, hoping that would stop it. The older sibling gave out a devilish smirk "I've gotta teach Red here a lesson"

The small girl sighed, then, she made her way to Natsu. She smiled "Hi! My name is Lisanna. Over there is my older sister, Mira, fighting with Erza. And this is Elfman, my big brother" she introduced herself along with others.

"Nice to meet you guys. Name's Natsu" He grinned.

Lisanna, along with everyone who wasn't Erza and Mira left the two to sort out their problems and went to sit at an empty table. It wasn't long before a few other children joined them. One was Levy, a blue-haired girl who seemed rather interested in books, along with two other boys, who stuck around her, Jet and Droy. Another girl was Cana. a brown haired girl, who seemed rather shy and quiet. They sat there and chatted, Natsu told stories of his dad and some seemed rather eager to listen. He ignored most of Gray's comment on the subject.

At the bar, Makarov sat on the table, next to Gildarts as they both held their drinks in hand and looked at the room.

"Seems he's fitting right in. I bet he's as destructive as the other kids." Gildarts commented and sweatdropped when he saw the master crying comically and mumbling something about the bills he would have to pay because of all the brats.

Soon enough, the night fell and people started to leave the Guildhall and go to their homes.

"Natsu my boy, come here for a minute." Natsu, hearing Makarov call out for him, obeyed the order and walked towards the bar. "I don't think you have any money on you and you don't have a place to stay. How about I ask one of your guildmates if they would agree to help you out until you gain enough money to pay rent?" he suggested.

"No need. I saw a forest not too far from here. I'll go into the woods. Thanks anyways" he announced happily.

Makarov frowned "I definitely don't want you sleeping in the middle of nowhere Natsu."

The dragon slayer raised an eyebrow "You do realize I lived all my life in a cave right?"

The master sighed in exhaustion "Look, I'm not letting you stay in a forest. Whether you like it or not, you're gonna have a roof over your head." This wasn't a demand, it was an order. Natsu finally gave in and accepted that he wasn't getting out of it.

Makarov looked around the guild to see who was left that was available to offer the pink haired boy a house. He then spotted the person he was looking for. "Gray is it possible for Natsu to bunk with you until he finds a place to stay. It would help a lot". Gray lived alone in a small apartment in town. Makarov had noticed despite everything, Gray was rather a lonesome boy and those two becoming friends would help out both of them.

Natsu, on the other hand, wasn't too keen about it. Neither was Gray. Their first encounter today wasn't the most pleasant and they bickered a lot even on the first day. The dragon slayer shook his head "You know what, I think I'll go find a cave. See ya" he took a step to walk away but was quickly stopped by giant hands, coming from the old man. "You are not sleeping in the woods Natsu."

Gray was hesitant. He sighed "Fine. Whatever. He can stay with me" he put his hands in his pockets and looked the other way, as if not caring. Natsu gritted his teeth as his eyes twitched. He didn't really have a choice in the matter, so he decided to go along with it. The two then left the Guildhall and directed their route towards Gray's house.

The rest of the night went rather silently, and the two didn't really talk much. Natsu took the couch and the boys slept both peacefully till the next morning.

The next day, Natsu and Gray showed up early in the morning, Natsu went out to check up the request board. He snatched one off the board and ran to the master with the piece of paper.

"Can I go on this one?" he asked.

"Yeah sure but you have to take someone with you. You need someone more experienced to show you around it" Makarov said.

"But-"

"No buts Natsu. Go find someone to accompany you"

Natsu left with a pout and looked around the hall. He then approached the raven-haired boy and shoved the paper in his face. "You wanna go on this mission. Gramps saying I have to have someone from the guild with me to show me how it works and whatever. You wanna come?"

Gray looked over the mission and to be honest, he found the monster hunting job rather interesting, so he accepted and the two boys set out for their mission. The mission's location was rather far, so they were obligated to use the train to get to their destination. As soon as the train started working, Natsu turned green and started groaning at the new found pain he was suffering from.

Gray just laughed at his misery "Wow, you've got a serious case of motion sickness. It's pathetic" He continued chuckling. Natsu weakly glared at him and as he prepared a come back to his last comment, a sudden urge to puke erased that thought from his mind, and rushed to the window and puked out his breakfast. "Get me off...this torture device...I think I'm dying"

For the rest of the ride, he groaned from his pain and after a while of laughing, Gray eventually just fell asleep on the train.

Once they arrived, the duo walked towards their final destination. After talking to some people about the mission, they went to a mountain, where the monsters were located.

"It should be around here. So we're looking for Vulcans, huh?" Gray looked at the map in hand, and looked around, trying to spot the creatures they were supposed to defeat.

"They're probably scared of us." Natsu let out a laugh, which died down as soon as a large group of them came to view and surrounded them.

"You were saying..."

"Nevermind"

The two boys got into a fighting stance, ready to take on the Vulcans. The boys had their backs to each other. Gray spoke "You take right, I take left. Sounds good?" Natsu hummed in agreement. Gray got into his ice-make stance, and as for Natsu, he engulfed his hands in fire and they both lunged towards their targets.

"Ice-make: Wall" He shouted as ice began forming a barrier, surrounding the Vulcans. He then ran towards them, "Ice-make: Hammer" Gray created a large ice hammer, and dropped it on the Vulcan with a great force. He resumed with the same tactic and attacked his targets.

On the other side, Natsu punched the Vulcans with fire, defending at the same time as the creatures attacked him back. "Fire dragon's Iron fist" with his fire engulfed fists and punched the monsters continuously. Some of them fell.

"Is it just me or they keep showing up?" Natsu confused as to why their numbers didn't seem to drop when they did take out a few.

"Yeah, you're right. There are a lot of them. I think we should change strategies. I can make a wall, blocking them from escaping. Do you have a spell that can take out a lot of them?" Gray looked at him, waiting for a response. "I've got just the thing" Natsu announced with a smirk.

The two of them ran away from the Vulcans, putting some distance between them so that they could follow through with their plan.

"Okay, so I'm gonna a large barrier to surround all of them and you shoot fire or whatever," Gray said as he got his magic ready.

"Got it"

Gray summoned a large portion of his magic, and a wall formed around the Vulcans. "Do it now!" he yelled at Natsu. The dragon slayer began gathering flames in his mouth "Fire dragon's Roar" he released a large quantity of fire from his mouth, the area where the Vulcans stood became filled with fire. A little while after, the flames died down and the creatures came into view, all beaten on the ground. Gray and Natsu smirked at each other, happy with their achievement.

"Guess we can go back to the guild now" Natsu announced, grinning proudly at his work. Gray nodded. The two after, repoing to the clients, went towards the train station.

"No way in hell I'm going back on this death trap. Let's just walk back" Natsu shivered at the sight of the vehicle.

"It'll take days to get back. We're taking the train" Gray announced firmly, grabbing Natsu's collar and dragging him onto the train. Despite Natsu's attempts of getting away from it, the duo ended up taking the train, all the while, Natsu cursing the vehicle.

The rest of the day went rather smoothly, as they arrived and reported at the guild, and then made their way back to Gray's house.

A few days later, as the two boys arrived at the guild like usual, were greeted by their friends. They spent the morning at the guild, Natsu spent it talking to Lisanna and the others sat around the table and chatted.

For days now, Natsu had this feeling welt up inside him, and today, he decided to confront it. As he followed the sensation he was getting, he came face to face with a tall blond-haired boy, seemingly in his teenagers. The boy stared at Natsu, confused as to why the younger boy was inspecting him. "What do you want?" he was clearly irritated by the boy's actions.

Natsu narrowed his eyes and starred for a few seconds before questioning him "Are you a dragon slayer?"

The question shocked the blond, as it was unexpected since he didn't think anyone would find out this soon. "You aren't you? I'm a dragon slayer too" Natsu continued "So, who was the dragon who raised you?" he asked curiously, excited to have met another like him.

"tch" was all that the boy responded, before walking away. Natsu ran after him, "Don't ignore me. No seriously, did your dragon left you too?"

"Shut up" he uttered, hoping the younger boy would leave him alone. But that just made him even madder. Natsu tried to stop him by grabbing onto his shirt but was pushed back as the boy voiced "I don't have a dragon alright. I never even met a dragon. Now leave me alone"

Natsu's eyes widened in shock when the realization hit him. He looked down, and suddenly, his aura began to darken and spoke as his eyes got covered by his pink locks "You mean you have a dragon lacrima inside you?" he voiced in a low tone, hiding the anger in his voice. The blond looked at him, and replied, ignoring the venom in his tone "Yeah, so what?"

Out of nowhere, the teenage boy was slammed onto the floor, after receiving a surprise punch from Natsu. That caught everyone's attention as they saw one of the strongest members of the guild, thrown to the ground by the new kid. They were all shocked at the dark aura that was being emitted by the boy. But what scared them the most was his eyes. They now gleamed in crimson light, holding nothing but bloodlust and fury.

"Did you see that? The kid punched Laxus" a member spoke

Laxus was thrown back a bit by the surprise attack but quickly got up, glared at the other dragon slayer, now angry and irritated by his actions, "Who the hell do you think you are?!" At first, he received nothing but low growls and hisses, but then Natsu voiced a few words "Bastard, you took a dragon's magic. I'm gonna make you pay" he hissed as he gave the other one death glares. He then lunged forward, fire emanating from every part of his body, and started striking Laxus. However, this time, Laxus wasn't going to be taken by surprise. He gave Natsu a hard punch to the gut, throwing him to the wooden columns of the Guildhall.

Makarov was shocked and disconcerted. A child holding killing intents for reasons he did not understand was beyond what he had imagined.

Natsu despite the attack he just received, got back with the same determination as before, rage taking over his entire body, and started attacking Laxus aimlessly, his strikes holding nonetheless a very large power to them. Laxus mostly dodged the attacks but the sheer hotness of the flames that got too close to him was starting to burn him. Laxus, having had enough of all this, started radiating sparks of lightning from his body, standing in front of the boy engulfed in flames.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Makarov raised his voice to an almost inhuman level, wanting nothing but to stop this madness that was going on in his guild. Laxus tilted his head towards his grandfather, and unnoticed, Natsu began gathering fire in his mouth and as he got ready to release the flames, he was suddenly stopped when someone got a hold of him, and he, in his state of rage, thrashed and retaliated in that someone's arms. Gildarts had got a hold of him, trying to keep him still, so that he would calm down, "You need to calm down Natsu. You're going completely berserk"

In the meantime, Makarov walked towards Laxus, first checking on his injuries and then questioning him about what had just happened. "Laxus, what happened? Why did you two start fighting?" Laxus was still started by the sudden attacks and confused at all that had happened himself. "I don't know Gramps. He just asked me about dragon slayers, and he suddenly got all angry after I told him that I wasn't raised by a dragon. What the hell? That's it I'm gonna kick his ass." he tried to walk away but was stopped by his grandfather, who just shook his head, motioning for him to just lay low.

Makarov them walked to where Natsu and Gildarts were, relieved that the red and fury in the dragon slayer's eyes had finally disappeared and he had seemingly calmed down. Natsu just let out heavy breaths, his face still filled with a little anger and a lot of confusion. "Natsu! I demand to know why you just attacked Laxus like that. That was no normal spar or friendly match. You had every intention to actually kill him. Why Natsu?" He wasn't happy about the situation and seeing one of his children attack another like that disturbed him. But he was still thankful that nothing truly bad came out of it.

Natsu stared at Makarov, at loss of words, trying to find a way to justify his actions. He then looked down "He stole a dragon's magic. He had no right to. Becoming a dragon slayer like that is wrong. He's considered evil for doing so. He's betraying the dragons" he voiced quietly, but loud enough for the people surrounding them to hear him. Makarov frowned and thought about how Natsu was raised by an actual dragon "Natsu, I understand that you were taught and raised by the dragon's principals. But what you did was wrong and wanting to hurt someone for that is even worse. You have to understand that it wasn't his choice to have a lacrima implanted in him. His father forced that on him. He didn't get a say in the matter." Natsu's eyes grew wide in shock, he tilted his head towards Laxus, guilt filling his mind and expression. He looked down ashamed "I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I'm really sorry. I just jumped to conclusions." He gritted his teeth and his eyes met with Laxus'. It's true that he was forced to have this lacrima but he hadn't realized it was a traitorous act to have one inside of him. He scratched the back of his head and sighed "It's fine. Nobody got really hurt and I guess I should've explained too. Just forget it, alright?" he said as he approached and looked at the boy, who was clearly sorry for his actions. Natsu looked up, happy that he was being forgiven, but not entirely since he still felt the guilt. "No, I still shouldn't have attacked you without reason. So I'm sorry." His onyx eyes meeting Laxus's, the older boy smiled "It alright I told you. And plus, you're not the only one to be at fault. And plus, you're not half bad, even if it wasn't a real fight." Laxus and Natsu then both went to the infirmary, tending to their minor injuries.

Soon enough, the guild went back to it's usual and people pretty soon forgot all about what had just happened. The kids were a bit stunned at the power that Natsu showed them. Everyone went back to their usual activities and with that, at the end of the day, everyone went back home the same way they came in the morning.

A few months passed since Natsu joined the guild. He had grown close to a lot of children form his age. He hung around Lisanna, Gray, Erza, Mira, Laxus and the others most of the time. Most of his missions he went with Gray, as they had found out after some time that they worked pretty well together. Gildarts had become a sort of father figure to him as well as Makarov. He had come to view the guild as his family.

The moon shone brightly in the sky, lighting the dark skies in its light, the streets if Magnolia, dipped into silence when a small pink haired figure walked the path to the guild. At this hour, the only person possibly remaining would be the master, probably working in his office. Natsu quietly entered the Guildhall and made his way to the second floor where the master's office was located. He knocked on the door and got a signal for him to come in. He entered the office, Makarov was sitting at his desk, where a huge pile of papers was, almost hiding the small old man behind it.

"It pretty late, Natsu. Is there anything you need?" he asked, curious as to why he would have a visit at this hour.

"I'm leaving Fairy Tail"
