Secret Disease (Laxus x Freed)

chapter 8

Watching their friend suffer at the hands of his illness, they ponder what to do and how to fix it. The guildhall is quiet due to the pondering and morning of their friend until Natsu comes in. He comes in screaming, "GRAMPS, GRAMPS!" The old Master then looks up and shouts back, "What, Natsu?" Natsu then gives the news of a lifetime, "I know how to save Freed!" The guild then stops and looks at him, then they all start shouting at him, trying to get an answer until Laxus and the master scream, "SHUT UP!" It all then comes to a halt until Laxus walks up to Natsu, asking how. 

Natsu then states that he was going through his house and found a tome belonging to Igneel; he then proceeds to pull it out and hands it to Laxus. The Master then asks, "How is this going to help my child?" "Well, Gramps, when going through this, I found out that if you gather all the elemental dragons or, in our case, dragon slayers, and collectively combine their magic, then that might be enough to save him!" 

Gajeel then walks up, asking to see the page he was talking about, "Salamander, this could work, but you do know that there as major consequences, right?" Gajeel says in the language of the dragons, and Natsu replies in the same tongue, "I know! I will take it! I can't stand to see them suffer like this." Gajeel then shakes his head then replies in their everyday language, "Fine, I'm in. But Salamander, you are not doing this alone!" 

Everyone in the guild looks confused, questioning what just happened. Finally, Wendy, who was listening, incomes up and states, "I'm in too, and Natsu, I agree with Gajeel you are not doing this alone." Gray then asks, "Flame-brain, what language was that?" Natsu looks at him and says, "Well, stripper, It's our native language, the language of the dragons." The guild looks in shock at the fire dragon slayer; Erza then asks when he learned this because she remembers teaching him how to read and write. 

Natsu then looks at her weirdly then replies, "I've always known it, Igneel taught me. I always knew how to read and write; I just never knew how to do it in English." Again, the guild looks at him in shock. Laxus then interrupts and says, "Okay, let's get back on track. Natsu, how do we save Freed?" Natsu then looks at Laxus then reveals what he learned, "Okay, we have to gather all of the dragonslayers, it used to be dragons, but the slayers would work. There is a healing spell that could work; it's called the Mourning Dragon." Gajeel then interrupts by saying, "What this idiot isn't telling you is that it has consequences to the person in charge of the spell, which can only be led by dragon royalty."  

Master then asks, "What type of consequences boy? And who is a dragon royal?" Wendy then butts in, "It takes half of the life force of that royal leading the spell and gives it to the one who is in need of healing, and Natsu.... is the Prince of all dragons."
