Natsu Dragneel: Phoenix Virtue Of Retribution

A Heroe's Begining

"Natsu, my son you've grown up so much" a pink haired women who's beauty rivals that of a Goddess' said as tears formed under her diamond blue eyes, running down her cheaks "I'll miss you so much" she professed while she cupped his cheak on the brink of death "m-mother.....please don't go..please don't leave me" A pinkhaired boy with onix black eyes uttered as he wailed. "The world cannot comprehend the love I have for you my son" she rejoiced as she breathed her last breath with a smile. The boy went on to shut her eyelids before he silently sobbed into her chest. The war still raging on.

(2 hours later) Unknown location in Dragnof

"D-dad" the pink haired proclaimed. A man with black hair whom had the build of an Olympian turned around too see his son with tears in his eyes, it was at this moment he knew his wife was gone. The man brought his son into a hug. "Natsu...." the father whispered  with tears in his eyes. "There is a temple, a temple built by our people long ago to honour the great almighty Dragon King, you must seek out this temple for a gate shall open up for you, my son I love you, and I'll gladly lie my life down for you! You mustn't let the mere inevitable acts of life be the source of your tears, instead I want you to use those tears to fuel your burning resolve! I want this day to be the source of your raging will,  as the virtue of retribution it is your job to avenge those of whom that have fallen!" he stated with sorrow evident in his voice. Natsu wiped his tears away as he took one last look back at his father whom was brutally sliced in two by a demon. Natsu choked on his breath as he stumbled, before he could fall he redeemed his balance and stance. As he looked back in front of him he was met with the cold face of a demon, the young boy cringed as he closed his eyes awaiting his impending doom that never came, Natsu opened his eyes to see another Olympian built man with golden hair whom wielded a lance. The demon Natsu came face to face with now resting on the blonde haired mans spear  as maroon reddish purple blood tainted its blade.

"M-master Makarov?!?" Natsu uttered "Natsu you must RUN!" the blonde haired man now known as Makarov proclaimed as he emphasized the last word. Makarov than went on to slay the demons pursuing Natsu one buy one. The highest ranking officer in the dragon knights slashed the demons down. With immense speed he dodged multiple attacks lodging his spear into the abdomen of a demon. He than jumped off the hilt of the spear using it as a spring board and flipped away from the now lifeless demon as he pulled out two daggers and threw them directly at  two others. The daggers hit the spot right in between their respective eyes as the demons began to disintegrate however before they could, Makarov used their heads as spring boards as he unlodged the daggers from their respective resting places. Still in the air Makarov spun the daggers in his hands so that the blades were sticking outwards and the sharp edges faced downwards as he descended upon a behemoth of a demon with so much momentum he sliced clean through its shoulder blades effectively dismembering it's arms. He landed in a kneel as he used the momentum of standing up to kick his lance up with his heal he than took a step back behind the handle of the spear whilst rotating to deliver a direct roundhouse kick against the end of the spears hilt. The kick held so much force that the spear pierced through air and flesh leaving a gaping whole in the abdomen of the behemoth of a demon and three others that followed, Makarov then went on to retrieve his spear as he threw his daggers at two other demons. Natsu starred in awe at the sight before him "NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE I TOLD YOU TO RU-" Makarov's sentence was cut short as his head was removed from the rest of his body, Natsu's eyes widened in fear and he froze in place do to the shock. A demon took advantage of this and caught Natsu off guard. Just as the demon was delivering a deathly blow a lance laced with golden thunder pierced through the demons skull and lodged its self into the ground. It was at this moment that Natsu realized Makarov must have thrown his spear before he met his end. Natsu than grabbed the spear as he recalled something Makarov told him long ago "If you perfect the technique when you throw the lance in a certain way. You too will fly with it!" as if the gods them selves heard Natsu's wishes, the spear of the lance began to spark as it took flight Natsu soon following suit. Even though he was travelling at the speed of lightning natsu was still able to catch sight of brownish orange locks "Guildarts" Natsu muttered as he flew by. The orange haired man grinned as he heard the wind chant his name. Natsu still airborne began to descend as the spear began to slow down. Natsu landed right at the edge of a forest as he rolled forward nullifying the effect the fall would have on his legs.

Natsu ran as fast as his he could into the forest. Dodging vines,branches and logs. he had reached his destination, a Monumental building that resembled a temple. He proceeded into the temple as he did he some how knew exactly where too go...as if it was his Destiny. Natsu came across a set of stairs in which he began his exhibition down them. His feet taping the stone slabs as he had done so. At the time that he reached the bottom of the stairs. He saw a sword with the blade wedged into a stone slab. He was immediately drawn to the sword, the Pinkette reached for the sword and at the moment of contact Natsu was transported to an open lush green landscape when he looked up he saw something he'd thought hed never see. Laying on the ground 10 yards away from Natsu was a crimson Dragon. "Hello boy you must be Natsu Dragneel" The mythical beast asked  Natsu stood there dumbfounded.how does a dragon know his name scratch that how does this dragon know his name and didn't he die over 3000 years ago. were all the things going through the human boy's head "a-and you must be the  Deceased d-dragon King Igneel" Natsu proclaimed "You would be correct Natsu....but I didn't just reveal my self to introduce my self... As you may tell Dragnof is on the brink of destruction... But first I must tell you the meaning of my summoning you here. See on the day you were born. With the help of a Goddess the Elders made a holy sword capable of Slaying Demons and Dragons alike. This sword was made by my Tooth and not only does it carry the ability to slay demons and dragons. But instead it also carries the blessing of a Goddess. This sword is called Ascalon" the crimson behemoth revealed. Natsu just listened to the story in awe as he was able to visualize everything the Dragon told him. "The reason you were drawn to the sword in the temple was not your own curiosity. But instead your fate... See the sword you tried to reach for is Ascalon and only you have the ability to wield it....as for why only time will tell"

In the alter of the temple

Natsu was laying on the floor as his eyes fluttered open. When he relized he was staring up at the roof he got up and went to where the sword was. Natsu than grabbed the handle with both his hands as he tried to pull the blade from its resting place. As he successfully unsheathes the blade from its resting place, a mechanism went off and the place where the blade originaly resides opened up and a marble slab rose up. On the marble resting on a metal rack was a white scarf that appeared to have dragon scales on it. He grabbed the scarf placed it around his neck. At that exact point in time Natsu heard voices as he opened his eyes to reveal Diamond blue draconic slits crimson Scales on the majority of his skin. (A/N this power is not temperary nor is this the strongest he will be... His skin and eyes will go back to normal) "such strong magical power!" One of 9 demons said stated "it surpasses my own" another claimed. "You really are optimistic Kyôka...this power rivals the demon lord's son Meliodas" a man with long black hair revealed. "Mardgeer speaks the truth" a 4th added. Than a cherry haired boy exited the temple as he took on the appearance of a malicious demonic humanoid dragon. "You Killed my Friends,You Killed my Family, You Slaughtered my People!, and worst of all YOU SLAUGHTERED MY PARENTS RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES" with every sentence Natsu's magic power grew by 10% until he screamed the last one as if it was a battle cry that resulted in an insane spike of magic power so immense, that his aura began to take on the shape of a mythical beast. "This MAGIC POWER WHAT IS TH-" demon couldn't finish his sentence for his head was sliced clean off, the sword now stained in crimson red, the demons body began to disintegrate. "Don't let him stab you with that sword it carries the blessing of a Godd-" another demon was decapitated. once again Natsu's magical power was so immense, his aura took on the shape of a beast.  "It's a Phoenix" one proclaimed "No it's a Dragon" another stated "your both wrong it's a *******" the demoness'"voice fell silent as her tonsils were removed from her throat. Natsu than went on too brutally murder the other demons. The once vibrant green landscape now a crimson red wasteland. How ever despite brutally murdering 8 demons Natsu's power showed no signs of yielding. Just as Natsu was about to slash down the last demoness, tears formed in her alluring purple eyes as she clenched them closed. Natsu stopped short as his Scales retracted and his eyes morphed back into his generic onix black eyes. "W-why are you crying?!" Natsu asked, what his father told him pierced his being and it was at that moment that he determined he would not let a single person cry in-front off him looks like our hero has a weakness after all. "Because I am afraid of death!" The black haired demoness chanted (A/N: this is Seilah if you could not tell, she is 12 in human years the same age as Natsu right now) Natsu noticed the girl before him had to have been around his age. He than went on to wipe her tears away as he smiled serenely "don't let the mere inevitable acts of life be the source of your tears, instead I want you to use those tears to fuel your merciless resolve" (A/Natsu
On top of a cliff

Natsu stood atop a cliff as he looked down at the place he once called home. "Natsu I want you to bring retribution to the world....that.......is your virtue"
