It was a dark day at Fiore. The dark wizard Zeref attacked the mage guild Fairy Tail, consequentially, the town in which the guild resided. Magnolia, was all, but destroyed. The guild known as Fairy Tail has always harbored many strong mages, but none strong enough to take on the strongest dark mage that has ever walked Earth. Fairy Tail was down to its last team.

The team known as Team Natsu. The team that was considered to be the strongest one in Fairy Tail, and probably in all of Fiore. It's leader Natsu Dragneel, the young Fire Dragon Slayer was the only one left to oppose Zeref. With all of his teammates down, Natsu was enraged. Enraged to the point in which he has never been before. His surge in power might have been the cause of two things: either the Flame of Rage, which has shown itself before on several occasions, or his love for his guild, his friends, his unconditional need to protect every one of them.

Natsu was standing his ground against Zeref.

-"Natsu..Stop this."-pleaded Zeref-"You can't win, I don't want to see you suffer any more.."-The Dark Mage said, with a sad expression on his face.

-"Don't give me that crap!" Natsu yelled,-"You destroy our city, our guild, you harm my friends..OUR FAMILY! And you dare tell me to give up?"

-"I've got news for you, scum. You're not leaving this city alive-"stated Natsu, with a dark glare.

The flame in Natsu's right hand light up a bright golden as he was ready to attack the Dark Mage.

-"I'm sorry it had to come to this Natsu..I really am. But, there was no other choice. To save the Earth, and to achieve the "One Magic", the strongest guild in Fiore must perish.."-Zeref said,as he started to cry at the thought of killing more innocent people.

-"SHUT UP!"- Natsu roared.

He lunged at the Dark Mage. Dragon scales appeared on the young Dragon Slayer's face and arms and an image of a fire dragon, Igneel, his father was behind him.

-"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"

He woke up. It took a while for him to come back to his senses, but Natsu noticed that he fell out of his bed.

-"A dream, huh?"-said, the young seventeen-year-old.

He looked at the alarm clock, which was on his desk near his bed. It was 5:20 in the morning.

-"It's this early?"-Natsu yawned,-"No point in getting back to bed when my head's hurting this much"-he said, as he held his head,-"Damn dreams, making me this excited"-he laughed.

The young pink haired boy, slowly got up. His head was twitching from the pain of falling off of his bed, but it was bearable.

As he stood up, he noticed he got a message on his phone.

-"Now, who could this be from..?"-he wonder.

It was from Gray Fullbuster, his classmate, his best friend, and his rival in everything possible.

Natsu sighed -"What does that jerk want now...?"

The message said: "Happy new school year, dumbass."

Natsu sighed again, and then gave a weak, but sure smile.

Summer's passed already, huh? It's been three months, and I've actually missed the bastard.. Who would've thought."- he laughed.

Yes. It's the first of September. Natsu's starting his second year of highschool. -"Another annoying year of being yelled at by the teachers.."-he growled,-"So annoying!"

Natsu actually loved school, because it's a place where his friends are, and where he could feel safe without a second thought. Even when times were darkest, he never felt sad while he was with them, that's the bond they shared.

The boy has been living alone since he was seven. His father, Igneel Dragneel, had left him for no apparent reason, and Natsu has been trying to find him ever since. His highschool principal, Makarov Dreyar has been taking care of him, supplying him with a place to live and a weekly allowance, though Natsu never understood where Makarov got his money from.

Natsu put down his phone and slowly wobbled out of his room to the bathroom. He looked at himself through the mirror,-"Seems like I'm getting older."-He thought.

He really was getting older, though he wasn't really surprised, he's seventeen already. -"Everyone has to grow up sometime, right?-he thought.

Natsu had a slim, muscular figure. One would think that he was weak, but ever since childhood, Natsu has been surprisingly strong and agile, with more stamina than he bargained for. He was always good in sports, and that was one of the things that Gray had trouble in when competing with Natsu.

The pink haired boy took a quick shower and went to make himself something to eat.

The Dragneel home was home only to Natsu. The thought often made him sad. He wondered what his mother was like, but he never knew her. He'd remember his father saying that she died while giving birth to him, and he would describe her as a strong, independent woman, who would always try to reach her goal, no matter the obstacles she faced, one of the traits Natsu had inherited.

Natsu's father, Igneel, was a family man. As far as he could remember, Igneel would always care for Natsu. His father taught him how to write, he shaped him into the man he is today. Even though his father left him, he would always remember him when he would be in a pinch, and he would always think: "What would dad do..?"-that alone is enough to show the feelings the young boy harbors for the man.

But even though Natsu lives alone, he knows how to take care of himself.

-"Shit, I forgot to go to the convenience store yesterday.."-exclaimed Natsu-"Fried eggs again.. ugh, I'm getting sick of this."

He noticed his laptop was on the kitchen table.-"Oh right, I did leave it there yesterday"-he thought.

While eating his breakfast, Natsu was watching an anime called Death Note on his laptop, an anime Lucy, his classmate, recommended, but Natsu couldn't understand half of what was going on there, even though he did find it interesting.

Natsu looked at the clock, it was 7.20 already.

-"Guess I have to get ready.."- he sighed.

He quickly put on his uniform, took his headphones and left his home. To start a new year at Fairy Tail High.

-"Oh joy"-he said, sarcastically, but his mood quickly changed when the music from his headphones kicked in.
