This is just something I've been thinking about for the past few weeks. Let me know what you think.


Chapter 1

How did we end up here?

Lucy P.O.V.

Explosions are going off everywhere.

Knives are being thrown.

Dark mages lie passed out or dead on the ground.

And I'm running for my life because I have no magic left.

"Luce, look out!" I can barely hear the shout, but it's too late. I feel the pain radiate from my abdomen, but I can't bare to look. Instead, all I see is a head of salmon-colored hair hanging over mine. I can barely make out his words.

"Luce, Lucy, it'll be okay, I'll get you out of here."

I feel like I'm floating when I hear what sounds like a roar, before I finally give into the darkness.

Natsu P.O.V.

I see the attack heading for Luce as she dives for cover, but when I call out, "Luce, look out!" It's too late, and she's already been hit. I burn the guilty bastard to ashes before running over to her.

"Luce, Lucy, it'll be okay, I'll get you out of here."

I scoop Lucy into my arms, but as I start to run her to safety, I hear a roar behind me. I turn to see a dragon with golden scales appear out of nowhere, and strike down the remaining dark guild members in a flash.

I can't worry about that right now, though; I have to get Luce to safety. So, I take off in the opposite direction as fast as I can, but I hear the dragon's wings flapping and know we're not gonna make it.

So, I close my eyes, waiting for the inevitable doom, but I'm shocked when the dragon picks me and Luce up and carries us through what looks like a portal.

Then, I hear the dragon speak for the first time.

"You have no need to fear, we are here to help, young Dragneel, but you must make sure the princess stays alive. We will get help soon, but for now, use what extra magic you have left and use some of mine as well to keep her with us."

I don't bother to question the dragon right now, as I'm in no condition to fight, so I do as she says and pour my magic and some of her's into Luce's limp body. After, I clutch her close to me, and eventually pass out from exhaustion.

When next I wake, I'm surrounded by dragons, some in their human form and others in their beast form.

The first thing that jumps into my head is Luce, but when I go to sit up to look for her, someone with red hair pushes me back down saying, "No, son, you need to rest."

I don't get the chance to see who the dragon is because I feel sleep overtake me again, but before I slip back into the darkness I manage to ask,"Where is my Luce?"

The next time I wake up, I'm in some gigantic room. I'm no longer in the clothes I was in earlier. Now, I'm just dressed in a simple t-shirt and sweats.

I try to get up, but pain strikes me everywhere, forcing me back down. Then, I remember Luce and I grit my teeth against the pain. I walk over to the window and pull back the curtain, however, when I do, my breath is taken, because before me lays a city of dragons.

There are some flying, some that look humanoid with just wings and a tail, then there are others that look completely human.

I turn when I smell someone at the door, and slide into a fighting stance. When the dragon opens the door, I growl and toss a fireball at the them. I know it won't hurt them, but it will still stun them.

Then, I hear chuckling. I stare at the figure, confused, until he speaks.

"Seriously? You don't recognize your own dad?"

I growl and reply, "My dad disappeared sixteen years ago."

"Seriously, Natsu?" Then, he lights his arm on fire enough to show me his face.

I freeze, unsure of what to do next.

'Luce' That one name keeps me going.

"Where's Lucy?" I ask apprehensively.

Dad replies, "In a bedroom, down the hall." Then, he takes a look at me and adds, "Would you like to go see her?"

I hesitate for only a second before nodding. He turns and walks out the door, and I follow him down the hall past two doors. He stops in front of one.

"She's still asleep, as her injuries were far worse than yours, so don't be an idiot and wake her up."

I nod, and he lets me in the room. I walk in and feel like Ice dick has knocked the air out of my lungs, because there she lies, bandaged from head to toe. Though, I can hear her breathing so I sigh in relief.

I walk back to Dad and he closes the door while saying, "You're probably hungry, so why don't we go down and get some dinner?"

Before I can reply, my stomach answers for me, and I hear him chuckle as we walk. Once we go down to the dining room, I'm met by about 20 dragons sitting at the dining table.

Dad walks toward the head of the table and sits down, pointing to the seat next to him for me to sit.

"Natsu, this is the queen of the dragons, Layla Heartfilia," Dad gestures at a woman with light blonde almost white hair and the same brown eyes as Lucy who sits at the head of the table. "Your Majesty, this is my son, Natsu Dragneel."

I feel my breath catch before he jabs me in the ribs and I stumble out with some semblance of words."Hello, Your Majesty."

She gives me a small smile. "Hello, if I may be so bold, how do you know my daughter?"

I grin and explain, "Because, I'm the one that brought her to Fairy Tail, well, actually, we met because I was in Hargeon looking for this guy here." Pointing at Dad. "When she ran into a bit of trouble, I helped her out, she helped me out, and then I found out that she wanted to be apart of my guild. So, I brought her back and we've been best friends and partners since."

Then, a pink-haired woman that looks like she could be Porlyusica's twin asks gently, "How did you two end up with such horrific injuries?"

My grin fades as I think back to 2 weeks ago.

~Flashback~

"Team Natsu, I need you in my office NOW." The request came from the master of our guild, Makarov, or Gramps, as we called him.

When we entered his office he stated, "I have a special mission for you from the Magic council. You are to go take down a dark guild that goes by the name of Sunset Moon."

We looked at him with determination, and he added, "But, hear me now, if anything gets destroyed that I have to pay for, the entire reward is going into the guilds pocket to pay for your messes. Do you hear me, brats?"

"Yeah, we understand you." We replied simultaneously..

The next day, we headed out and started tracking the guild down. It took us a week and a half to find them, and another 2 days before we could come up with a plan. But, when we put the plan in motion, everything went wrong, and we ended up getting ambushed. Erza was off fighting the main force, since they were all mainly weaklings.

Then, me and Luce got separated. Every time we would attempt to group back up, something would happen to divide us again.

Luce eventually ran out of power to summon anymore spirits, and, even if she had the energy, all her gold keys were too injured to help.

That's when things got real bad, The mage I had been fighting, the leader, chanted a spell as we were struggling, and he shot it at Lucy.

I tried to warn her, but it was too late. Then, I was running, trying to get her to safety, because we didn't have Wendy with us, and out of nowhere a golden dragon appeared, grabbing us and flying off.

~End Flashback~

"The last thing I remember, is the dragon saying she was there to help before I passed out and woke up in the room." I finish telling them the tale.

A few of the dragons are glaring at a dragon with short bronze-blonde hair, in a dress that has stars on it.

Then, Layla speaks up. "Natsu, that golden dragon is actually Celeste, the Celestial dragon." Here, the dragon with the starry dress waves at me, not bothering to say anything.

Then, something clicks. "Hey, Celeste?" She looks at me. "What happened to my friends that were left on the battlefield?"

Celeste smiles and states, "After I roared, everyone froze, so I took the chance to wipe out a good portion of the enemy that was left so your friends could finish them off."

My shoulders relax at hearing that, and then my stomach makes itself known to the other dragons, but mine isn't the only one. Dad's does it, too, and when the other dragons hear it they all say, "Like father, like son," before laughing.

Queen Layla stands up. "While we sit here talking, we all become hungry, so let's feast and be merry, for the prince and princess have returned."

With that proclamation, she claps her hands and trays loaded to overflowing float in.

While everyone eats, I turn to Dad."What did she mean by 'the prince and the princess'?"

"Shh, I'll tell you later," he says, before going back to his food.

After dinner, many dragons leave, either for their homes or for business they must attend to, but four stay behind.

As I walk up to them, I scrunch my nose. "Ugh, you smell like an Iron dragon slayer I know."

The guy in an iron-colored business suit raises an eyebrow and says gruffly, "You wouldn't by any chance be referring to a Gajeel Redfox, now, would you?"

My eyes are the size of dinner plates when the realization hits me."So, you're Metalicana? Then, that must mean you are Grandine." I assume, turning to the exact copy of Porlyusica, only this one is happy and isn't trying to smack people with her broom all the time.

They nod, before asking at the same time, "How is that jackass?" and, "How is my darling, Wendy?"

I turn to Metalicana then Grandine, "Metal face, Ice prick, and I get into fights all the time, just for the fun of it. And, as for Wendy, she's really grown into her role as a dragon slayer. When we first met her, all she used was support magic, but since she's joined Fairy Tail, she's learned a lot of new spells and can easily wipe the floor with an opponent. Though, she can still tend to be a bit shy."

Metalicana is grinning like a madman, and Grandine has tears of joy in her eyes.

I yawn as Igneel comes up behind me, clapping a hand down on my shoulder."Come on, son, you have a long day tomorrow. And, to be honest, you look plain ugly with no sleep."

When I look at him, he's grinning like the Mad Hatter, so I knock him in the arm before retracing my scent back to my room. However, I stop two doors down, and go in that door, instead.

I pull a chair up to the side of the bed, and grab Luce's hand before laying my head down and going to sleep.


Reviews are my life line let me know what you think. Should I write more? Got any ideas on where this should go? I'll leave it to you guys to point me in the right direction. What do you want to see?

Grizzly out for the night.

P.S. I do not own Fairy Tail.
