{^Chapter 2^}
«One Week later»
One week after his sisters had arrived for their summer break, Natsu and his father were descending down a flight of stairs, and into the secret basement known only to the heads of the clan. Haru had a small grin on his face as he imagined the look on the faces of the Devils when they see Natsu and notice that he gives off the same aura as their creator/mother.
All the while Natsu was happy that he could finally get his Slayer Magic. Normally a mage from the main branch was supposed to receive their powers when they were 5 years old, but since Natsu's magical container was highly unstable due to his primordial essence, which he is completely unaware of, was constantly fusing with his magical container and because of that Natsu and to spend 3 years strengthening his body, getting faster, and stronger everyday.
While his training was torturous, Natsu could proudly claim that in his generation, he by far has the second strongest physical capabilities, only second to his oldest sister, but then again Liliana was an absolute battle prodigy.
And while he was training his older sisters were expanding their magical containers, Natsu isn't going to deny the fact that he had felt an unrelenting amount of jealousy whenever he saw them train with their magic powers, Natsu had began to wonder if he was ever going to be able to use the Dragneel Family Magic, but luckily it seems that the gods blessed him with good fortune for allowing his father to bring him to get his magic.
Haru came to a abrupt stop right in front of the steel door with some strange triangle sealing. Natsu looked up at his father in confusion, "Natsu when you go in, do not under any circumstances believe anything, anything that they tell you. Can you do that?"
The violet eyed boy gave his father a toothy grin, "Of course I can do that Dad."
Haru chuckled and ruffled his son's hair, "Good. Lets go."
With that being said Haru open the door and walked in with Natsu. The said clan heir noticed was that there was 13 faceless entities all tripling his father's size. The only distinctive features on the Devils were their elements and the chains that binded them to the walls. In the center of the room was a platform with a crystal ball and had separate pathways to the 13 Devils.
Natsu looked at all of them in awe, but for some reason he could feel a connection between him and the 13 beings, it was something that he only felt with his older sisters. Shaking his head and following his father to the center of the room Natsu felt like all of the eyes were on him.
The Devils looked at the young Dragneel in shock and horror, the offspring of Chaos and her mortal enemies the Dragneel's truly existed. They had felt their mother's presence a couple years back and had been feeling the presence of someone with similar aura but they never though that their mother would actually procreate with the Dragneel. But The fact that he exists means nothing to them, there was no way that their mother would bare a heir to the Dragneel Clan, and they would deny any claims of such a thing. This had to be an elaborate prank that Haru was playing. The Elemental Devils would never accept the boy as their brother. Ever. Well all except for the Fire Devil who looked at Natsu with something akin to interest.
Meanwhile Haru struggled to hold in his laugh, looking the faces of the Devils the Dragneel Patriarch guessed that the Devils must have seen Natsu's aura and picked up the blood connection, "Natsu go and touch the ball to find out your element. And whatever you do, don't take your hands off of it."
Natsu nodded and did as he was instructed and the pathway to the Fire Devil lit up in a turquoise color, the chains also began to glow causing the Devil to shout profanities while withering in pain. This happened for a couple of minutes till the turquoise light vanished and a spherical ball of pure magic floated to the crystal ball and into Natsu's body through his left arm.
Natsu fell to ground yelling in pain, he felt that every atom in his body was being reconstructed and made into something new, Natsu felt his magic container grow and change and on the left side of Natsu's body a black flame wing like tattoo appeared.
After laying down for a few minutes longer, till the pain subsided, Natsu began to get up and instantly he noticed the difference from before, his eyesight was absolutely incredible, from his distance, Natsu could make out the small spider in the corner of the room near the Darkness Devil. He felt his body becoming tougher.
"Hey are you okay?" Natsu asked the Devil, who was surrounded by violet flames which began to churn around him.
"I am fine. You need not to worry." The Fire Devil replied, his voice coming out confident but Natsu was able to detect that he was hurt.
The young Dragneel looked at the Fire Devil with worry, but the said being started to look better which eased some of his worry, "Well that's a relief, anyways I am Natsu Dragneel and you are?"
The leader of Elemental Devils chuckled, "Your strange for a Dragneel. First you ask about my health then you ask me for my name, you are the first to ever ask and the last to ever receive, but it proves you have the Creator's blood in you. But nonetheless I am the King of Hell and the Arc-Angel of Chaos; Lucifer." Lucifer said with an unreadable expression but his voice held his amusement.
(A/N:Get it? He's faceless...yeah anyway back to the story.)
Haru grimaced with slight shock this wasn't supposed to happen, "Lets get going Natsu!"
"Sure dad, bye Lucifer." Natsu said and waved to the Devil who nodded his in acknowledgement. Natsu and Haru walked out of the chamber and locked the door.
"You realize what you have done, don't you?" A dark crimson Devil asked almost in a scolding manner.
The entire chamber was quite, the other Elementals were looking at their eldest and strongest, some in anger while others in curiosity. "Don't start with with this brother."
The red Devil growled, "I will start with this! And why shouldn't I? That boy is a black stain to our kind! A human born from a Primordial! Is an absolute disgrace to our blood! And you willingly gave a portion of your pow—"
"I know what I am doing! Don't you dare question me Blizzaris!" Lucifer bellowed at his brother.
"No. Lucifer we shall not take this down like everything else. We allowed you to make the decision to stay here trapped by our will instead of escaping when we had the majority of our powers. And now look at us! All of us are slowly losing our energy faster than before because of your action! So for the Chaos's sake answer the question!" The room began to light up as the female voice let loose of her pent up anger.
Lucifer didn't reply, he knew what he was doing after all she had told him, and she has never led him wrong, so why should he be feeling shame for his actions, why should he tell them anything. They wouldn't comprehend the amount of time and effort she had spent planning this, over the course of a million years their plan was coming to fruition.
"Leave him Lux! Our leader has become delusional ever since he's met that bitch!" A female's voice bitterly commented, her voice into distorted by a storm, then sandstorm, then water. This was Dystopia the Chaos Elemental Devil.
"..." Lux looked at her brother silently, before continuing, "...Tch. your a fuckin cunt you know Lucifer." Some of the Devils chuckled, while the others rolled their eyes at the supposed 'kindest' Devil's choice of words.
Outside of the steel door Haru and Natsu began to walk up the stairs, "So Natsu now that you finally have your Slayer magic we can truly began tapping into your fighting potential."
"Uhuh." Natsu responded happily not knowing what half of the things his father said to him. But Natsu was still happy he finally has a chance to fight on a equal...well somewhat equal ground with his sisters.
The two Dragneels walked out of the cellar and Haru sealed the doors on the outside with a triangle seal again. 'Now's a good time to come clean to Mayumi. Natsu has the traditional Dragneel Clan magic so she can't just outright kick him out...'
"Alright Natsu head on over to the training grounds and warm up, I need to speak to your mother." Haru told his son who looked like he was about to explode with excitement.
Natsu nodded and took off running to the training grounds leaving Haru to his think about the chaotic life he's had ever since the day he was born, how he fell for his wife and later on for Chaos. But before he could continue his thought process searing hot pain began to burn in his chest area before enveloping most parts of his body, except for the left side of his face.
"Dammit." Haru cursed as he began to cough harshly and spitting out a glob of black blood.
Haru noticed black markings envelop his body cover a portion of his right face, and slowly beginning to cover the his left side of his face,"And I don't even know how much longer I have till I lose myself like Father and Mother."
Slowly Haru rose up to his imposing height, before wiping the blood on his mouth with the back of his hand. The dual Devil Slayer began to trek back to the mansion to come clean to his wife. Hopefully she won't be too critical with him...
Natsu walked away from his father and towards the training arena that his ancestors had specifically built for training, while the ground near the bathhouse was used for sparing. As Natsu walked to his destination he could help being captivated by the sheer beauty of the Sakura trees, as his mother calls them, the pink cherry blossoms looked so beautiful, when they were falling out of the trees and having the wind carry them.
The violet eyed boy passed by some of the maids as they were clean the area around the mansion. Once they saw Natsu they bowed in respect while Natsu waved with a slight smile. Natsu continued on his way passing the sparing grounds and trekked to a field filled with battle dummies, automatons, weaponry, a archery range, Natsu stopped and began to do some stretches while he was nearing the weight racks.
"Planning on lifting weights again?"
Natsu turned around to see his favorite sister walking to him in her training attire which consisted of a white polyester long shelved shirt and black trousers.
"Ah. No dad finally allowed me to get my Slayer magic. Why are you here Zeref-nee?"
Zeref looked at Natsu with a deadpan making Natsu scratch his neck, "A-ahaha my bad that was a stupid question."
"Hmmm. So what element did you get?" Zeref asked genuinely interested as she began to do her stretches.
Natsu tapped his chin as he began to think about his element, "I'm pretty sure it was Fire."
Zeref looked at her brother with wide eyes before deadpanning," You think?"
"Yeah I mean all I had to do was touch the ball and the one directly in front of me began to..." Natsu trailed off, he didn't enjoy seeing others in pain.
Zeref smiled at her brother's innocence and silently made a promise to keep it like that for as long as she is alive, "Then that was the Fire Devil. Anyways where's dad, shouldn't he be here to teach you the basics?"
"Yeah but he had to talk to mom, I'm not too sure what he would want to talk to her about though. Anyways I'm going for a run." Natsu said as he finished his warm up and began to put on his 50lbs weighted boots and wrist bands and began to a light jog around the perimeter of the training arena.
A couple minutes later Zeref finished her stretches as Natsu came in to the weight racks. "Alright I've decided...since we don't know how long it will take dad to be her I'll help you get started on your magic activation." Zeref said to her little brother as he finished his run.
"Huh? Why?" Natsu asked with a raised eyebrow, feeling slightly confused.
"'Why?' You don't want me to help you?" Zeref asked with a crestfallen look.
"No no no. I do want your help, but I want to know why you want to help me." Natsu quickly explained.
"Oh I see! Anyways why wouldn't I want to help you , after all your my little brother and it's a older siblings' job to help their younger sibling." Zeref said happily hiding her intentions from Natsu.
Natsu grinned in response, "Okay thanks Zeref-nee."
Zeref nodded her head, "Alright the first step to activating your magic and call it out is to simply meditate. Like so."
Zeref sat down on the ground and crossed her legs and brought her hands to her stomach, "Now from this, you have to focus on the central part of your stomach, also known as your abdomen, and concentrate. When concentrating you shouldn't be able to hear anything else but your inner voice which will lead you to your power, which then will tell you the name of your magic."
"Alright thanks Zeref-nee." Zeref nodded her head and watched her brother begin his meditation.
The Dark Devil Slayer noticed that Natsu stoped twitching and feeling more comfortable in his position, the lines on his forehead decreasing and slowly he was falling into a trance like state. Nodding to herself at the accomplishment, Zeref walked off the archery platform where she began her training.
Haru gulped slightly as he saw his wife's expression change from hurt to angry to calm, that was a bad sign Haru noted, whenever she turned calm there was always bloodshed. Haru began to notice that Mayumi put her book down as she quickly brought out a black Katana.
Her head was down as she mumbled something. "Uhh, Mayumi-neesama what are you going to d-do with t-that?" Haru asked slightly scared as Mayumi began to breath heavily.
The last time he saw his older sister was when one of the Dragneel Branch's heir was flirting with him, the poor girl was lost all of her limbs because Mayumi went into her Yandere mode .
"Where is she?" Mayumi asked her crimson eyes promising pain of he didn't answer.
"I have n-no idea..." Haru said nervously chuckling. Mayumi not finding any humor cut Haru's cheek causing Haru to hiss in surprise.
Mayumi immediately notices that she had cut him, she drops her blade and immediately cups Haru's face, "Oh I'm so sorry dear I don't know what's wrong with me. You know how about we go to bed and forget about everything that happened today. Yes okay. Why Haru aren't you the kindest soul, shall we get going I'll make you forget all about that whore that defiled your precious body and soul. Yes and I know exactly what to do to. Let's go!" Mayumi said talking to herself and falling into her delusions.
Meanwhile Haru with a horrified expression, tried to break away from his wife. 'No this is bad...she's going to do that again! Oh Chaos someone please help me!'
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Was all that Haru could get out before he was dragged into a secret room.
Meanwhile with Zeref who was shooting arrows, blindfolded and hitting the dead center of her target, felt a spike of unfamiliar power which originated from the area where Natsu was meditating. Smiling to herself, Zeref guessed that Natsu had just found his magic.
'But it's weird that he found it so quickly...' Zeref mentally added.
Taking off the blindfold Zeref put it on a platform along with her now and quiver of arrows. Zeref made her way to her little brother, the black haired girl noticed that her brother was surround by silver flames that shone so bright that it disoriented her.
Trying to get used to the absurd brightness Zeref wait for a few seconds to allow her eyes to adjust to the light, before Zeref walked way to Natsu, "So it was really fire." Zeref said in slight awe, she has never felt anything so pure in her entire life...and now her resolve to protect Natsu thickened.
"Haha yeah I guess so." Natsu laughed, feeling amazingly energized, his flames already having disappeared.
"Alright now your ready for your second lesson." Natsu nodded eagerly.
"Ok so this move is one of the basic moves in Devil Slaying. It's our rage attack. For this you have to channel your magic from your abdomen to your mouth then release it. Like so [Dark Devil's Rage]." A black beam of darkness came out of Zeref's mouth and hit a training dummy, destroying it completely.
"Alright now on to the next move is our fist attack. For this you need to channel your magic to your hands and then throw it. [Dark Devil's Black Fist]." Zeref extended her right fist to another training dummy and Zeref disappeared into darkness only to appear in front of the dummy to throw a punch at it which went through the dummy.
"Wow nee-san your so cool!" Natsu said with stars in his eyes.
"Of course I am your older sister!" Zeref said with a haughty tone, "Now try to do the rage attack, and remember what I told you."
Natsu nodded and got into a ready position, "[Fire Devil's Rage]."
What happened next confused the Dragneel siblings, "Umm Zeref-nee why isn't it working?"
Zeref looked at Natsu worryingly,
"Try the fist attack." Zeref commanded Natsu.
"Okay." Natsu said as he began to channel his magic to his hands,"[Fire Devil's Fist]."
Zeref noticed that Natsu's hand was covered in magic but it wouldn't project the attack...that was troubling. Zeref looked at Natsu with a thoughtful expression, "Natsu did you meditate long enough to hear the name of your magic?"
Natsu looked at her sheepishly, "Sorry nee-san I forgot about that."
Zeref gently smacked her brother's head with a smile, "You forgot huh? Well do it again."
Natsu nodded with a sigh as he sat down on the ground and began to meditate, Zeref walked away from Natsu to give him some space.
Zeref waited for a few minutes, observing her little brother as he fell into a deeper state of meditation, she was beginning to get bored with waiting, so Zeref summoned a ball of darkness to sharpen her manipulation skills. After all if she ever wants to catch up to Liliana and take the title as Natsu's fiancé she will need to get stronger.
"What the..." Zeref muttered as she noticed that their was circle of silver fire around Natsu's form.
The Fire kept on growing, it was also becoming increasingly unbearable for Zeref to be around Natsu. It was like her very own magic was trying to get away from her brother's power. And she didn't like that fact that she was actually backing away from Natsu, but Zeref allowed herself to kill any guilty feelings for fearing Natsu, after all she still loves her little brother dearly and that's all that matters in the end...right?
The Silver Flames grew to colossal heights, Zeref wouldn't be surprised if it simultaneously woke up her sisters and alerted the minor houses of the Dragneels. "Is it getting brighter?" Zeref questioned disbelieving and with a slight hiss as she felt the heat begin to burn her.
But luckily for Zeref the flames began to disappear, slowly returning to Natsu's body, wrapping itself around the Dragneel heir. The black haired girl noticed that Natsu was grinning at her, Zeref returned it with an uneasy smile.
"Natsu try the rage attack once again, and attack the training dummy!" Zeref called out to her brother.
From the distance the Dark Devil Slayer saw her brother nodding his head, before sucking in air and channeling his magic to his mouth, "[Hell Blaze Progenitor's Cry]."
And with that spell the entirety of the field was covered in godly light, shining brighter than the Sun itself.
Go to the bottom to see the current power levels!...or don't and check it later on...hopefully? Also I want to know if anyone can figure out or find the other 'power',besides magic and Mythology powers, the clue is that it's related to Chaka/Ki/Chi, the first person to get the right answer will have the next chapter dedicated to them.
Alright right guys with that done, I'm going to be quick with all of you before you can see the current power levels of the Elemental Devils and the Dragneels, and can you tell me what you think of them.
I am going to try to move through this Arc as fast as I can. In about 12 to 14 chapters this Arc/ memory sequence will end and the God slaying/war Arc will begin. Now I'm certain you guys are curious why I said memory sequence. Well...what can I say except for the part that I f-ed up. I forgot to tell you guys, during the prolouge that Natsu was going to get his past memories back, while his other memories were going to be replaced. So yeah...my bad.
Power Levels:
The Elemental Devils- Island destroying (currently). (Previously) Solar System destroying. I will most likely go into a small flash back in one of the future chapters on how the the original Dragneels beat the Elementals.
Haru & Mayumi- Continent destroying magical capabilities (they have enough power to destroy Asia) and Mountain destroying physical capabilities (they can destroy Mt. Everest without magic) Also they're not Marry Sue like characters, they both have a lot of weakness that can kill them, hell I'm pretty sure you guys already know that Haru won't be alive for much longer.
Liliana, Hikari & Zeref- High A-Class magical and Mid B-Class physical capabilities.
Lucifer- Continent destroying (Currently). (Previously) Galaxy destroying.
Natsu- Mid B-Class physical capabilities. Low B-Class magical capabilities. Primordial Essence is somewhere between Planetary to Galaxy destroying, but since Natsu hasn't unblocked it he can't use his powers to its greatest extent.
Progenitor Slayer Magic- The highest form of God Slaying Magic, gives the user the ability to kill the rulers of existence. It allows the user to take the powers of the God or Primordial that he/she defeats. Can be used by Primordials and demi-primordial that have gotten the blessing of a Primordial being. So yeah Lucifer is the Primordial of Fire. Oh yeah a fun fact, the more Natsu uses his power the closer he will become to transforming into a Primordial God...so yeah by the end of this Arc, Natsu will be a Demon/Dragon/Primordial/Human hybrid.
So yeah I hope you guys enjoyed reading this chapter and I am so thankful to all of the people who actually managed to wait for so long, I am a piece a shit for that.
