Preparing for the Trip

Natsu was going over a list of things that he was going to need for his trip to outer space to search for Zordon. He was planning on leaving in about a week and was going to need the most important piece of equipment of all if he hoped to make it through the whole adventure; Food!

"Let's see, meat, juice, fish, apples...Hmm." he hummed to himself as he looked over the list of food that he was bringing with him. He had no idea how long he was going to be away from Earthland, so he needed to bring as much food as he could so that he would have enough to keep both himself and his future companions full.

"It appears that you took my advice and started to prepare for your journey into the unknown, Natsu." said Zordan from inside Natsu's head.

"Yeah. I have no idea how long I'm going to be gone, so I might as well pack all the food that I can eat." replied the Dragon Slayer.

"I suggest that you let your Guild know about your departure to avoid worrying them about your sudden absents."

"I guess so, I wouldn't want them to get scared about why I just disappeared."

"Just be sure to not inform them about me or the other rangers. It could cause them to want to assist you in your mission, which is strictly for Power Rangers only!" warned Zordan.

"Loud and clear, Tube-Head." replied Natsu.

Zordon then cut off his telepathic powers and ended his conversation with Natsu. He couldn't let the Alliance of Evil know that he was sending Natsu to stop them, or else all of Natsu's training would have been for nothing. He only hoped that Natsu and the Power Rangers would success in stopping them.

Natsu was then left to think about how he was going to tell Fairy Tail about his sudden departure. And what excuse he could come up with that would make them believe him, even if it's just a little.

(The Next Day)

It was a peaceful afternoon at the Guild with everybody just eating, drinking, and socializing with each other. Which was rare since everyone is usually fighting most of the time, but today was just a slow day.

"Gray, your clothes." signed Erza.

"HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAVING!?" yelled a shocked Ice-Mage as he left to go find his pants and shirt.

"I can't believe I have gotten used to that now. It feels like the last time I was bothered by it was six months ago." said Lucy.

It was just another normal day at the Guild. Well...Someone wasn't acting like themselves, "..." he was justing thinking about what to tell his friends.

His silence didn't go unnoticed by another Dragon Slayer, "Natsu...Are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine, Wendy... I was just thinking about something." he replied.

"THINKING!? YOU RARELY THINK NATSU! BE CAREFUL NOT TO HURT YOURSELF!" panicked Happy.

"Wow. You really do think that little of Natsu, don't ya, Happy." signed Lucy at how annoying Happy can be at times.

"What's on your mind, Natsu?" asked Erza.

Natsu was now getting nervous of how his friends were now curious about his silence, so he decided to just come clean, "I'm thinking of leaving for a bit to do some training for a few months."

"YOUR LEAVING!" shouted everyone at his table. The outburst caught the attention of the rest of the Guild as well.

"It's only for a few months. I just want to get stronger in case we end up in a really tough spot later on." he nervously answered as he was now sweating quickly out of nervousness.

"But, why leave?" asked Happy.

Natsu started to scratch the back of his head, "I just thought that maybe I could surprise you guys with what I learned after I come back." he really didn't come up with a good enough reason to leave without letting the existence of Zordon and the Alliance of Evil come up.

"Didn't you and Happy leave to train during the one year the Guild disbanded? Why would you want to leave again?" asked Lucy.

"That was different. This time I'm letting you know beforehand, plus I'm only going to be away for a couple of months at most. I need this!" replied Natsu. He wasn't sure how everyone would take the news, but he didn't really have much of a choice now.

"I say that If Natsu wants this we should respect his decision." called out a new voice. Everyone turned around and saw Master Makarov rolling closer to the team's table in his wheelchair. The battle with the Alvarez Empire had really taken a toll on him and made him lose his ability to walk, so he now has the spend the rest of his days in a wheelchair.

"Natsu is free to make his own decisions with what he wants in his life. If he wants to leave for a few months to grow stronger we should respect his choice." he said the rest of Natsu's team.

'Thanks, Gramps. You're a lifesaver!' thought Natsu.

"However, I'm also curious as to why your plan on leaving to train, Natsu. Care to give an explanation?" asked Fairy Tail's Guild Master.

Natsu was now having to deal with everyone's eyes on him as they waited for him to replay. He was now between a rock and a hard place with coming up with an answer. He decided to twist the truth about, "Well, I might want to check out a place that looks similar to something I saw in a dream that I had a while ago."

"A dream?" asked Carla in confusion.

"Yeah, ya see I've found someplace that looks exactly the same as the dream that I had a while ago and decided to check it out to see how good of a training area it is. That's why I want to go and look for it." he answered.

"That place won't be around for long if you train there for a while since you'll just blow it to bits!" said Gray as he returned with his white t-shirt and pants on.

"What was that, Ice Princess!?"

"You heard me, Flame Brain!"

"Naked Icicle."

"Flaming Head."

"Tundra Striper."

"Blazing Moron."

"ENOUGH!" called out Erza as she smashed their heads together to get them to quiet down. The two were now holding their heads in pain, it happened so often that you'd think that they would use to it by now.

"Even that's starting to get old!" whispered Lucy.

"Natsu, how do you even know where to go to find this place that you saw in your dream?" asked Happy.

Natsu finished rubbing his head and then looked at happy, "Not really sure, but I know that if I head north I might find some kind of location that can look close enough to past as what I saw in my dream."

"Sounds kinda risky if you ask me!" said Lucy.

"The point is I got to go and train if I want to get stronger!" replied Natsu.

The others listened to what Natsu just told them and found it a bit confusing that he wants to train at a location that he saw in a dream, it could all be fake for all they knew, but why would Natsu be so determined to find this place if it was just a dream?

"When are you planning to leave?" asked Wendy.

"In about a week." he replied.

Makarov looked at Natsu curiously for a moment, "Just make sure your well packed, Natsu. You never know what can go wrong on a trip." he warned the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"We both experienced that first hand, didn't we, Natsu?" winked Happy.

He was referring to the time that he and Natsu left to train for one year after Fairy Tail's battle with Tartaros.

"Really!? When?" asked Natsu, who was as clueless as ever.

Everyone at the table just sighed in disbelief. Makarov then rolled away and left the group to their business. Natsu was glad that the conversation was put to an end, for now at least. One thing for sure was that he needed to be careful about not spilling any more important details about his upcoming adventure, or else things will start to go bad for him really fast.

(6 Days Later)

Natsu was laying down on the grass in front of his yard to look up at the night sky. He was wondering about what kind of obstacles he'll be facing when he journeys up into the stars that he's currently looking at. His trip starts tomorrow and he needs to be ready. Of course, he was confident in his own abilities and was sure he and his new ranger friends would be able to find Zordan without issue. He was just so excited about how he was going to put all of his sword training to the test once he starts battling aliens!

"Hey, Natsu." called out Happy as he flew from inside the house and landed beside his partner.

"Hey, Happy. What's up?"

"I've been looking all over for you inside. Why are you out here looking at the stars?" he asked.

Natsu returned his sights to the stars above, "I'm just thinking about how cool it is that even though I'll be gone for a while if you look up at the sky at night, we'll both be staring at the same sky. Isn't it crazy?" he replied.

Happy looked up at the starry sky that was above them and smiled, "Yeah, I guess your right about that."

Happy landed on the ground next to Natsu and lay down on his back to look at the stars with his friend. He wanted to enjoy a few moments with Natsu before he leaves for his training trip tomorrow. He wished at Natsu would let him come with him, but knew that it was important for Natsu to do this all on his own.

(3 Hours Later)

Happy was now sound asleep next to Natsu, who was still staring up at the stars. He was waiting for Happy to fall asleep so that he could put him inside and tuck him in in order to get ready for his trip to space.

Natsu got up and gently picked up Happy in his arms before slowly entering inside their house. Natsu put Happy to sleep on the dinner table, before he made his way to his drawer and pulled out his toy blocks with the letters D, A, and N. He was planning on taking them with him for some reason but could think of why they would even be needed in the first place.

'Maybe they'll help me feel at home while I'm out in space.' he thought to himself.

Natsu took them to his backpack and stuffed them inside before closing it up again. He put on his backpack and started to look for a pen and piece of paper to write with. He was going to left Happy a message just like how they did with Lucy after the battle with Tartaros. Once he finished writing, he placed the note next to Happy so that he'll be able to read it when he wakes up.

Natsu looked at the inside of his house one last time before he closed the door and walked away towards a wide open space for him to wait for his ride that Zordan told him it was going to arrive in less than an hour. He just hoped that his motion sickness wouldn't keep him from messing up this mission!

End of Chapter!

Hey everyone, I know this chapter isn't very long. Which I like to apologize for, but I promise that the next chapter will more than make up for it as Natsu will set controls to outer space. That's when the REAL fun will start and we'll get to kick off the space adventure with a real blast!

Remember that I also have other stories that I need to work as well, not to mention that I have a life outside of writing fanfiction that can keep me pretty busy as well. I'll try to find some more time to get to the next chapter of this story, but you're going to need to have a bit of patience.

Until next time, Like, Rate, and Review!
