Chapter 26: Battle Arc VI "Natsu's Will"



Natsu groan on his sleep before opening his eyes. The vision was blurred at first but he could hear familiar voices calling on him.

"Natsu, Natsu!"

"Natsu-san"

"Everyone Natsu is waking up!"

"Natsu"

"Natsu-san"

Natsu blink for a moment before adjusting his sight before seeing both Lector and Frosh staring at him, Carla calling the others and Wendy calling his name. Immediately the others went to Natsu except Laxus, Levy, Jellal, Cobra and Yua to give space.

Natsu could see the relief and worried look of everyone's eyes. He blinked for a moment before trying to stand up but his body aches which Erza and Gray helped him sit up. He looked around his place again and asked.

"What happened? Where... Where am I?" It seems Natsu was confused about what's going on.

"Natsu-san are you alright? Do you remember us?" Sting asked in worried. Natsu blink before replying, "I remember you Sting and everyone else, why do you ask?"

Everyone sigh in relief, glad that nothing had been done to his mind to the point he will never recognize them.

"Natsu-san I'm glad we made it in time." Rogue said which Natsu tilt his head before turning to others, asking for answers. Gray gave a concern look, "Don't you remember what happened to you Natsu?"

Natsu looked down as he clench his head, slowly he remembered that they had began experimenting him and lost consciousness.

"That's right... I..." Natsu began to shiver. He cause another trouble for everyone to the point it could endanger their life. As he blame himself, a touch of his head gave an assurance that made it stop and turned to the person who did it and it was Erza with a smile. "Don't worry about anything Natsu, we did this because we can never abandon you no matter what."

"That's right Natsu, we are your Nakama, we help one another." Lucy said with a smile of assurance. Wendy followed, "That's right Natsu-san. We would never leave you after all you had done to us."

"Everyone right now is here to save you Natsu and none of them felt any trouble at all. We all did this according to our own free will." Gray said with a smile.

"Natsu we are all friends and a team, we would never leave each other, right?" Happy said as he hugged Natsu.

"If you call yourself a guild, be sure to look after your comrades... the word you had told us before. Those words not only apply to us guilds but also the friendship between guilds to other guilds." Sting said with a grin.

Rogue nodded, "Natsu-san there is no need to blame yourself okay." Yukino nodded too, "That's right because we came here to save you, according to our will."

"Everyone..." Natsu slowly began to smile and nod to their assurance, "Thank you everyone... you had gone a lot all because of me."

Everyone smiled for him.

Cobra can't help but groan, "You really got to be kidding me, Salamander totally lost his memories?" Jallal could only smirk, "Didn't believe at first when I told you?"

"Of course I won't believe it so easily until... what the heck, is this the Salamander who beaten me before?" Cobra asked as he scratched his head. Jellal nodded, "He is."

Unknown to the two, Yua was staring at them, more like studying them.

"Yua-san?" She turned to Natsu who called her. Natsu can't believe it, was that truly Yua-san he was seeing? She smiled, "Hello Natsu, it's been a while and I'm glad you are doing well."

Natsu's eyes still show the disbelief, did she gone too much trouble to come here after hearing his being captured?

Laxus could only smirk, "What's wrong Natsu? Can't believe for her to be here?" Natsu turned to Laxus whom he just noticed. Now that he thought about it, there was Levy, Jellal and the person who he doesn't know.

'Who is he?' Natsu wonder as he stares at Cobra. He who can hear what he had thought sigh and introduced himself, "Cobra, don't tell me you truly forgot about me Salamander." Natsu could only blink and shook his head, not knowing who he is. The Poison Dragon Slayer frown, "You got to be kidding me."

"In any case, now that we had rescued Natsu safely, it's time for us to bring this place down." Yua said which everyone turned to her. She turned to their young Dragon Slayer, "Wendy please heal her burn." She's pointing at Yukino's burn leg.

"G-got it." Wendy immediately went to Yukino's side and began her healing magic.

Yua turned to the others, "Those who are tired should take a quick rest, who knows who would come here to attack us again."

"Are you sure resting is a good decision?" Jellal asked in serious tone to Yua. She could only nod, "The enemy will not make any move as long as they are sure it would work. With many of us here, the boss needs to be cautious to his decision if he doesn't want to lower more of his armies than he already had."

"About being captured?" Laxus asked. Yua answered, "Unlikely. Before joining the battle with that guy, I check few things and seeing no trap within this room, its fine."

They were really unsure but decide to trust her decision.

"Levy where's Freed and Minerva?" Erza asked. Levy answered, "They were still up fighting against the enemies. I don't know if they are doing well or not."

"Don't worry, I'm sure the Lady could take care of things so easily, right?" Sting said with a grin. Lector agreed, "Aye!"

"Rogue are you alright?" Frosh asked in worried. Rogue smiled, "I'm fine Frosh, thank you for looking after Natsu-san for us." Frosh smiled and nod.

Natsu was beginning to get worried about the coming future. "Natsu" He turned down to see Happy looking at him, "Don't worry okay, just be sure to rest because we are now here for you."

It seems the Exceed had saw through him. He smiled and nod, "Thanks Happy."

In a certain room, Ernest smashed his hand to his arm chair he is currently sitting.

"Not only they got that Fire Dragon Slayer but they also defeat Ulysses!" He growl in anger as he gripped his fist.

Philip could only watch his boss getting angry while the viscount was gulping in fear.

"T-the men are losing outside due to the Magic Council's interference. T-They will almost come in Sir." Alain informed in fear.

Ernest didn't care about that but what he is angry the most was that not only they got the Dragon Slayer he truly desire to obtain but also defeated the strongest of his army.

'That woman' He glared to Yua's image that was calm in deep thought. The battle against Ulysses, he doesn't know how she had done it but she is sure that she had made him entered to her trap without knowing. 'That woman... she needs to disappear and recreate the army ones again.'

In the place where they are, it seems Yua could sense the distress of her own enemies and smirk.

'For some reason I feel like I had succeed on making him target me.' She thought in victor before turning serious, 'Now to think what is the hidden sleeve is he trying to hide from us.'

Cobra could hear what she was thinking. He really can't believe this girl, it was like everything is going according to plan. Just who the heck is she?

Natsu on the other hand was staring at his hand. He could feel it, in his sleep, he had met someone but that person... he had already forgotten who the person is.

'Who are you?' He can't help but ask, 'Why are you hiding deep within my mind? Why can't I remember you?'

"Natsu-sama are you alright?" Natsu's thought halted as he turned to Yukino in worried. Natsu gave a sad smile, "I-it's nothing... just that... I'm trying to remember someone but I don't know who he is." He admitted his trouble.

Yukino can't help but pity his condition. 'Natsu-sama is truly in pain... all this time all his memories still haven't return... just... just what can we do for Natsu-sama?'

"Natsu" Both turned to Yua who approached them and kneel down, "Natsu can you move now?"

"Eh? Y-yeah I got enough rest already Natsu-san." Natsu respond. Yua smiled, "Good to know."

She stood up and turned to the others, "Everyone on our way we will have to separate ourselves again. The team who will assist Natsu out of this place and the other who will continue forward end this mess." Yua turned to Jellal, "Is that fine to you?"

Jellal thought for a moment before nodding, telling he agrees.

"Wait!" Everyone turned to Natsu who immediately react to her decision, "Why must I get out of here? I'll go with you!"

Yua seems to be expecting this reaction so she didn't react at his words. She could only sigh before speaking, "Natsu I know how you feel but this is not the time for that."

"But Yua-san"

"Natsu" Erza called in concern, "I know how you feel but we can't have you get in danger."

"That's right Natsu-san." Rogue said in agreement, "I know it's painful but you have to leave this place."

Natsu looked down, "Was it because I don't have magic... that I have to leave?" Everyone was silence in concern. Before some could speak, Yua spoke first. "That's not it Natsu... we're telling you to leave is because you will be in danger. Well you can also interpret that as because you don't possess one... to be able to protect yourself."

Natsu gripped his hand, frustrated about his current state. He's tired of being protected, being hid and running away. He had enough of it!

Happy can see how helpless Natsu was, "Natsu"

Yua stared at him for a moment before turning to everyone, "You all decide what we will do." That questioned everyone. She continued, "Since for me, I have no problem taking him with us."

Now that surprised everyone, even Natsu.

Levy spoke, "B-but didn't you just said that we should separate groups and-" Cobra interfered, "She only said that because she knew that's how most of us were thinking... right?"

Yua nodded, "I have no problem taking him with us, we could use this chance to make him recover his magic, even his memories."

"Recover?" Gray questioned as he stood up, "Are you insane!? I know there are times that Natsu needs to be expose to danger for him to regain something but in this situation where everything is uncertain is-"

"Everything is never certain to the very beginning Gray Fullbuster." Yua said before turning to the entrance, "Decide as soon as possible, I just told you my side opinion here."

Yua left the room to give them time to think about the best course of action. Everyone became silence as she left the place.

Natsu gripped both of his hands and turned to everyone, "Please everyone, take me with you!"

"Natsu-san" Sting whispered. Natsu continued, "I have enough... I have enough being hid, protected and running away... I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN FEAR IN THE REST OF MY LIFE!"

Now that shocked everyone. Natsu's eyes were trembling, like tears are falling down but he refuse to show it to anyone. Everyone can feel how serious Natsu is, he had finally decided not to run away but this time he would like to fight. He wants to face his fear and weakness, he wants to conquer those feelings and become stronger so he won't be a burden to others and most of all make everyone worry.

"Natsu"

"Natsu-san"

Everyone turned to each other, no longer sure at all. Cobra who just ones saw him could see him as if a small girl tired in being weak and protected so she went on the stage of rebellion against the odds.

Jellal could understand his feelings, being helpless is really a frustrating feeling that could soon become a person's regret in their entire life. Natsu here doesn't want it anymore so he decided to stand up and fights like everyone else. Jellal turned to the others and nodded, telling them he had finally agreed to have him come with their battle which was actually shocking for Erza.

"I know how it feels like being hopeless, because of that part that I was posses by Zeref in the first place. I don't want him to have any regrets in his entire life." Jellal reasoned which Erza understand.

"I understand what you mean Jellal... but I care about Natsu's safety. If something happened to him, I may never forgive myself." Erza reasoned to him. Jellal nodded, understanding how she feels.

"I know I lost my temper a little moment ago." This time, Gray spoke as he stared at his gripping hands. He turned to everyone, "But I kind of understand what Yua's opinion and so is Flamebrain's feelings. If I am on his shoe, I might gone crazy for unable to do anything. I know it is dangerous ahead of us but..." He showed his determined look, "I will support Natsu's feeling and decision. I will also make sure he would be safe."

Natsu is surprise to his outburst will. Still it made him happy as he smiled to him, "Tha-thank you... Gray." He turned to Jellal, "You too Jellal... thank you." Jellal could only smile and nod. He turned to Erza, "I know you only mind my safety but... please..."

Erza looked down as she debate her decision. She wanted to compile to his desire but the danger ahead makes her hard to choose.

Levy was really concern as she began to speak, "If we all agree to this, Natsu will be facing danger no matter how much we protect him. If we bring him out there is a chance of him being safe too."

"True but I can't help to make a thought of the enemy knowing we would this kind of thing so I am sure there is a plan sat up for this." Rogue said his opinion. He sighs, "Same goes for taking him with us. Still I have no complained here too. Natsu can come with us and we will surely protect him."

Sting grin, "That's right. It is our job to protect Natsu-san after all so leave it to us!"

Yukino nooded, "I agree."

Lector cross his arms and grin while Frosh spoke, "Fro think so too."

"In other words the whole Sabertooth agreed." Laxus said before turning to Natsu, "I have no problem for you coming with us Natsu but I do understand the danger ahead here. In the state you are now, even I won't let you no matter what you say... still I do understand your frustration and pain. I will just leave this to the others."

He finished. Cobra began scratching his head.

"So Salamander not only get amnesia but also can't use magic!? Heck there is no way we could bring him with us!"

Everyone wanted to glare the Poison Dragon Slayer but they do understand a bit of what he was saying. They may keep denying it but deep within they were all thinking the same thing.

"I kind of agree with you... but still disagree." Carla said in serious tone. "C-Carla!" Wendy said in bit shock tone. Carla continued, "Natsu has a right to choose what's ahead here. I'm sure he himself knows there is a danger ahead but since he had made a decision, I will respect that decision."

Wendy looked down as she took a deep breath before speaking, "What Natsu-san's decision will be my decision."

"I'm coming with Natsu no matter where he goes." Happy said with a smile to Natsu which he returned it back.

Lucy spoke next, "I agree as well. Beside Natsu is our Nakama, where he goes, we'll go." She turned to Yukino as both girls smile.

Levy respect Natsu's desire of going but what's up ahead is unknown. Mostly the people here agree that's for sure but this isn't how they will debate for this. It is whenever they should let him come with them or have him in safe place like the plan was suppose to be. They can't let anything happened to their precious Nakama, not in his condition like this.

Everyone was now staring to the person who will decide everything and that would be Erza. The red haired turned to face Natsu who was staring at Happy. Natsu felt her daze and turned to her. He gives a determined eye, fully wanted to go, fight with them if he has to do so. He will not back down, no matter what they say to him.

Erza can see that and so is everyone. At that moment, they can't help but remember the real Natsu. A blazing fire shown within his eyes when he had decided to do something and he will never give up until he achieved his goal. The Grand Magic Game, the battle in Tartaros and many other else.

The Fairy Tail can't help but smile, remembering the cheerful and energetic Fire Dragon Slayer. How could they almost forget? The real Natsu and the amnesia Natsu are only one and the same, the only difference is that the real one remembers his whole life while the amnesia one as stated, could not remember his life at all.

Erza took a deep breath before speaking, "Fine." Erza smiled to Natsu, "You will come with us Natsu."

Natsu's eyes widen in disbelief and slowly turned to smile as they finally acknowledge him to be with them.

Everyone smile, glad that he could come with them.

"But remember Natsu, don't act on your own and if ever something happened that is more than out of control, you will do whatever it takes to escape even if it means leaving us." Erza said which surprise Natsu.

Jellal could only huff, "You baby him Erza, also if ever something happened like that we will never let that happen, how much more make him harm Natsu."

Everyone nodded which made Natsu sigh in relief and smiled.

"It seems everyone had finally decided." They all turned to Freed who approach them. He had slight burns around but still fine. Laxus raised his eyebrow, "How things going?"

Freed smiled, "Minerva and I won our battle. After arriving here we came across Yua who had explained to us what you were discussing here. Right now both girls went on ahead to check things up for us."

"The Lady is okay." Sting sigh in relief, "That's good to hear."

Lector agreed with a smile, "Your right."

Those who were resting now stood up, ready to take an action. Natsu stood up too, ready to join with them.

Erza looked to everyone and nodded, "Now let's all take this organization down!"

"AYE SIR!"

I do not own Fairy Tail.
