(Sorry for being extremely late, I've just been depressed for awhile and school got me stressed with essays and homework taking up most of my time. This is pretty much a dialogue version of chapter 417 in order to get used to the characters after not writing for so long.   )

Natsu's POV (Months after Fairy Tail broke up)

After traveling through the mountains and training for months,at its peak I could see Mongolia Town down below us."Lets train,Natsu."the little blue cat sings holding his fingers up,waving it around. "Alright. Hehe let's start with a little strengthening exercising." I grab a large boulder and placed it on my back. With a grin,I lift it up and start to hop. "One..." As soon as I land, the rock was heavier making it slide down unto my back. Ow... I shake my head and continue with another leap. "Two...three...four...fiv-"I slip...oh no. Splat! The rock slams into my back squashing my face to the ground.

Happy stands on a far off rock,laughing his heart out as I try to roll the boulder off me. "Help me."I mumble from under the rock. After a while of lifting and pushing, Happy and I finally got the boulder off me.

"You almost had it Natsu."Happy grins. "Well I'm all fired up now!"Burning with a rebirth of strength. I lift the boulder once again and threw it. "Oh no."Happy watches as the boulder crash lands in the middle of town. I froze in place."Oh crap.....Let's go Happy!" I grab Happy by his bag and ran.

After what felt like hours of running, we find ourselves deep in the woods. "Where are we?"Happy asked flying around. "Let's take a look.Im straving."Happy picks me up and we start flying. Up high I spot a monster in the distance. "Let go!" I shout as Happy flies towards it. One flaming punch to the face took it out. Right as we head towards our lunch.....there we saw someone.

"Oi,NATSU? HAPPY!?"he shouts right as he say his name.Happy quickly lands next to him. "Gildart,I didn't think we would ever see you again."Happy smiles causing Gildart to laugh as we danced. Shortly after I give him a punch to the face,laughing. "It's been so long." "Yea."he grins back giving me a punch that sent me flying. "Ah just like old times."Happy shrugs.

"Yea where you been man? Gramps was gonna make you the new guild master til you disappear on us." I grin, sitting in the hot springs. "Ah guild master isn't my style. I believe Erza is a better fit than me."he chuckled sitting next to me. "So what have you been up too? Another 10 year quest? "Happy asked swimming around."Well something like that. " he shrugs with a goofy grin.
 
Happy's POV

Soon after the hot bath they started fight. Ah what to do? I shrug leaving them to fight. It was nice while it lasted. 5 minutes later and we all fell asleep. Ah fish.....zzzzz.

Gildarts's POV 

I suddenly got a feeling that cause me to wake up from my sleep only to see Natsu was missing. After walking around for a while, I finally find Natsu siting by the lake, in deep thought while staring at the waterfall. I can tell something was bothering him. " Is something wrong, Natsu?" I inquire standing beside him. He looks away sweating. "Oh come on.You can tell me anything. What's on your mind?" I grin pointing to myself.  "W-well when you left, the guild was attack by a demon guild called 'Tartaros'. They put up a hard fight. Me and Lisanna were captured and after we broke free..."  Natsu proceeds to tell me all that happened from the demons to FACE almost destroying all magic. But then when  he gets to talking about the dragons coming in, he starts getting sad. "Igneel appeared from inside me in order to fight Acnologia. " he starts to shiver. I sigh knowing how he felt. " I finally found Igneel after so long of searching, he was inside me this whole time. I wanted to help him but I wasn't strong enough and he was killed right in front of me." he explains holding bad his tears. Natsu.. "If only I was stronger....Igneel could've...." he shivers even faster. I pat his head and start to console him.

In the morning, Natsu had his spark back in his eyes, getting fired up.  "Let's go, Gildarts." he grins. Sigh. "Really?" "Come on, you're not scared are ya? I did get stronger since the last time." Natsu smirks.  Hmph. "Alright. come at me." Natsu lunges at me with a flaming fist. "Like last time, try and make me move." 

I easily blocked his punch,dodge his kick and other punches. My turn. I pushed him back far with one hand.  Not giving up, Natsu races back over to me.

Natsu blast me with a huge explosion of flames that even when blocked, still pushes me back a few feet. So he did get stronger. I stare at him in surprise as he looks back with complement in his eyes.  "Well done."he smile. "Ahah This time i moved you more than an inch." he laughs. As he laughs he doesn't notice the monster behind him and suddenly ate him. "WHA!?" me and Happy shouts in confusion as to where the monster came from. 

"Ill save you, Natsu." I mutter, powering my arm up with magic.  It one hit to the ground I obliterated the landscape around us, killing the monster in the process.  I give a sigh of relief seeing the monster split Natsu out. "Uh, you alright,Natsu?" I rub the back  of my head as I asked. He continues to stare. "Ready to get back to the fight?" I smirk. He shivers in response. Sweat starts to build up on his face. He quickly shook his head no. Ugh, really, I scared him.

We shake hands as we set for our ways. "Which way are you two going?" I asked. Natsu points in the opposite direction that I was going which was where I pointed. With that we head our separate ways.

Natsu's POV

After leaving Gildarts, I started getting hungry. "Alright lets see what we got left." I smile at Happy as I empty our bag......I don't think this is our bag. Magazines with girls on the front which reminds me of...Lucy. My face starts heating up quickly. "AHHHHH!" I turn to see where the noise came from. I see Gildarts flying towards us. Oh crap. "Give me back my bag." he sobs, tears draining down his face. "What the hell you perv. " I grumble as he jumps me. "Where's my beg,Natsu?" he punches my face. "Get off me!" with that we started fighting again.
