Natsu POV

We were finally on our way back to the guild hall, it had felt like forever but it was really only three days. Three very long, very annoying days. Once our new member Katherine was properly clothed, we finally got the okay from Gramps to leave the hotels and head back to Magnolia and the guild hall. I was just upset to leave, not because it meant the exciting dragon slayers mission was over, but because it meant that I would have to go on a train....yet again. The other dragon slayers, Sting, Rouge, Laxus and even Gajeel, had left two days ago. Juvia had to leave as well, she had a previous engagement. Back to their guilds or maybe on a job they had taken before all the craziness had happened.

Katherine had said she was going to meet us at the guild hall, she said something about having a better way to travel other than by train or boat. She was probably going to fly above us all the way to Magnolia, I didn't blame her, man if I could fly without Happy I would. As we got to the train station, a distressed looking wizard was running towards us.

"What has his magic in a knot?" I asked adjusting the bag on my back.

"I don't know Natsu, why don't we talk to him?" Gray was as sarcastic as ever with me, it seriously got on my nerves.

"That's a great idea Gray, I think he is coming over here anyway." Erza brought our attention back to the wizard who was really out of shape by the looks of it.

"Are you...." He was really short of breath. "Are you the....the Fairy Tail guild members?" He asked between huffed breaths.

"Yes, we are the Fairy Tail guild." Erza stood taller, almost challenging the poor man. "What do you want with us? Do you have some sort of business?"

"Leave it to Erza to get straight to the point." Lucy commented in that annoying way she always did.

"This is a message from the Saber Tooth guild, Sting and Rouge are in danger." The man was breathing heavily now. "In the wee hours of the morning, they got a message in a bubble that said 'I know who you are and what you did. Come to the cliffs at half Sunrise. You will get what you deserve, and I will set right what you turned wrong.'"

"Sting and Rouge can hold their own." I brushed off the man's warning, Sting and Rouge were dragon slayers that killed their parents. I highly doubted any measly human, that had a beef with those two, could beat them.

"That's the problem." The man's face fell. "They haven't come back, and it is noon. Before they left they told us that if they weren't back before noon that we should come and find you. Natsu, you're the only other person they trust to help them. Please, we can't lose another master so soon."

"They aren't back?" That seriously caught my attention, those two never took long to beat anyone. The proved their strength in the games. "Where do we go?"

"Natsu, are you sure about this?" Lucy asked grabbing my arm.

"I am sure Lucy." I answered proudly. "I may not agree with everything those two do, but they are dragon slayers. They are my brothers, if nothing else. I have to save them."

"Well we aren't letting you go alone than." Lucy stepped up, filled with as much pride as I was.

"No Fairy gets left behind." Erza stepped up with her.

"Going back to the guild hall would be boring anyway." Gray was smiling, just glad to have our normal team back.

"If you don't mind, I am going back with master." Wendy broke in, I had almost forgot she was there, she was so quiet. "I am not really a fighter, and that deal with the sisters.... I think I am going to take a break from the field for a while."
