December 15 X784
Everyone was shock at Natsu. He refused the offer for this years s-class promotion, instead Jet was chosen and he pick Droy as his partner. When he confronted Makarov about this, the master was shocked to heard that Natsu of all people was passing down the chance to become S-Class because Nastu had a talked with Gildart and Nastu believed because of his childish behavior especially for stealing the Galuna island job earlier this year he wasn't ready to be S- class. So Nastu offered to stay behind to keep the guild safe in case any bad guy attack with all the strong wizard gone.
However, today he entered the guild hall for food money. As he entered, he saw the blue haired rain woman still here. "Juvia, what are you still doing here?" She turned around to face the dragon slayer, looking down. "W-well, you see..."
Flashback
Yesterday after Nastu left to train
'Juvia will be her Gray-sama partner.' Juvia thought to herself as she walked looking for Gray only to find him sitting at a table kissing Lucy. 'Juvia back away slowing only to bump into master Makarov who looked at her with sad eye. "'Juvia if you what you can stay like Nastu if being near Gray will only trouble you my dear" 'Juvia nodded. "Very well I hereby remove you from the S-class trails! That mean Max, will take your place." At that moment 'Juvia hugged the little man and ran out of the guild crying.
Flashback End
"Wow, sorry to hear that I always knew Gray was an asshole toward you. Hey listen, have you seen Happy?" Juvia nodded. "Yes, he left with Carla and Pantherlily. Something about a premonition." Natsu was dejected. "Damn it, I was hoping to on a job today." "I could go with you, if want." Natsu looked at her with hope and smiled. "Sure, lets go right now!" With that, the two went to the job board, grabbed a job, and left.
Two Days Later
"N-no, you're lying!" Natsu screamed at Doranbolt. He and Juvia had just returned from their job, and saw two members of the Magic Council, Lahar and Doranbolt. The had just explained to the guild about the councils plan to have Doran infiltrate the guild and find something to use to shut them down.
What they hadn't planned on happening was a three way war between Fairy Tail, Grimoire Heart, and Zeref to break out. Just as Fairy Tail had victory in their grasp, Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, appeared. With a single roar, it destroyed the entire island, with everyone on it.
Natsu was angry, but Juvia was distraught. "No. Everyone Juvia loved, is dead?"
Lahar had little emotion on his face as approached her. "I'm sorry. You have my condolences." Natsu stood in-between them, and growled "Get Out!". Lahar nodded and left with Doranbolt following behind. After they left, Natsu turned to face Juvia, tears in her eyes.
"Juvia, I'm-" "No your not!" Juvia screamed at him. "No you should've went with them then maybe everyone even Gray-sama would be alive. I felt something wrong, but Juvia was that job with you. If it wasn't for you staying behind , you might have been able to save him, all of them!"
Her words cut deep as he listened. When she finished, he walked over to the bar and began drinking. Macao walked over to her. "Juvia, take it easy on him." Juvia glared at the older wizard and snapped the word "WHY?"
Macao sighed. "Put yourself in his shoes. Natsu is easily the strongest dragon slayer in the whole guild. Gajeel was second, and Wendy was distant third. Even if Laxus was on the island like they said, Natsu is still stronger. He was trained to kill dragons, and the one time a dragon was seen by someone, it killed many of his friends who he's known since he was my son ageand he could do nothing about it."
