Natsu's pov

"Ah! A green-haired lady!" Happy and I screamed at the same time. Yes, there's a green-haired lady in our room. "Do you know Lucilia Heartfillia?" she asked again in a calmer tone than before. How dare she asks us who we are while standing in OUR room!?

"Why?" Laxus asked igniting his fist in lightning. The green-haired lady sighed and muttered something. Even with my dragon hearing, I didn't hear her. White angel wings appeared on her back. "An angel!" Happy and I screamed again. The girls' door opened and we all crowded the hallway.

Lucy gasped and leaped on the lady. "Brandish!" she hugged her the green-haired lady whose name is Brandish hugged back. "It's good to see you well Princess," Brandish said.

"Lucy, do you know this person?" Erza asked and Lucy nodded. "She's a close friend of mine back in the castle. A part of the Spriggan 12. Her name is Brandish," Lucy introduced her.

Brandish looked at each one of us. "Requip magic, very strong. Lightning Dragon Slayer, lacrimal implanted. Satan Soul and Animal Soul, siblings, I see. Sky and Iron Dragon Slayers, daughter and son of Grandine and Metalicana. Water mage and Ice-Make mage, good combination," she stopped and grinned once she saw Mystogan. The masked man bowed confusing us. "Mysty, my man! Nice to see you taking care of our Princess," she said.

"WHAT!?" Happy and I screamed again for the 3rd time this evening. "Oh, I didn't tell you? Mystogan was my babysitter back then," Lucy said while smiling and I smashed my head on the wall. "Natsu-san!" Wendy gasped and rushed over to me. "My brain is gonna explode." It will. Why does something new happen every day!?

"You're lucky you don't have one Pinky," Gray said and I glared at him. I was about to say something when Brandish spoke again. "Ah look who we have here." she appeared in front of me smirking. "Zeref's little brother!" she exclaimed.

"ZEREF'S WHAT!?" everyone yelled, including Lucy. "You mean we're siblings?" I asked pointing at Lucy. No, that's illegal! I don't know why but it is!

Brandish sighed. "Let's go in first," she said and entered the girls' room. That's unfair. Why does every drama have to happen in the girls' room and not ours?

"Settle yourselves 'cause this is one hell of a ride..."

No one's pov

Layla Heartfilia, the Queen of the Angels, was humming while she stared peacefully in the castle's garden. Her husband was working, so she was alone.

A squirrel ran out of the bushes squeaking. "Well hello there," Layla spoke softly as she picked up the squirrel in her hands. The animal squeaked and tugged on her skin. "Hm?" she hummed confused. The squirrel jumped out and ran towards the forest. Layla picked hup her gown and ran after the squirrel. "Where are you taking me!?" she shouted and shoved a branch out of her way.

She stopped when she saw a field. In the middle of that field, a black-haired boy lay asleep. She gasped and ran to the boy's side checking him for wounds, but she didn't find any. She sighed in relief and looked at the boy's face. He was breathing softly.

"What are you doing here?" she mumbled and picked up the boy. She saw the squirrel again and thanked it before going back to the castle with the boy in her arms.

She brought him to the infirmary where the doctors checked on him. "Who is he, Queen Layla?" Brandish asked behind her. "I don't know, but I do sense some demon powers in him," the queen answered.

The young boy stirred and woke up. "Mom?" he asked tiredly while rubbing his eyes. He looked at Layla and grinned brightly. "Mom!" he screamed and hugged her. Everyone around was shocked, including the queen. "Mom," he broke the hug, "I can't remember anything." he looked up to her.

Layla pitied the boy and hugged him. "It's alright honey. It doesn't matter," she whispered in his ear. She placed a seal on him to lock away his demon powers and turned him into an angel

Natsu's pov

"That doesn't explain how I'm his brother," I said crossing my arms. "We found out later on that Zeref is the Prince of the Demon Kingdom. We did more research and found you, his little brother." Gray's right. I'm lucky I don't have a brain or else it would've exploded earlier.

"A magician foresaw the future overthrown by the darkness. The Demon Kingdom knew of its terror and, as ironic as it may seem, the King and Queen sent 5 young children, including their only child at that time, through the eclipse gate to this era to save the future. That was Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Marvell, Gajeel Redfox, Sting Eucliffe, and Rogue Cheney. Your memories of the past were wiped out."

Everyone was silent. All this information is hurting my head! I'm the little brother of Zeref. I'm a Demon Prince. Zeref wasn't an angel. Lucy...oh Lucy! She must be taking it harder than any of us. I looked at her to see her deep in thoughts not saying a word.

"Lucilia, you must remove the seal on Zeref by a spell. I don't know what but it's said that you'll only know it by instinct. I'm sorry for telling you all this at once," Brandish put a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "How is Zeref?" Lucy asked worriedly. "He's under Mard Geer's control. Mard Geer was the one who killed Natsu's parents and took over the Demon Kingdom. He's fine but--" an explosion interrupted her.

Her eyes widened and she abruptly stood up. "I forgot!" she yelled. "I forgot what I was supposed to do! Oh my goodness! Pack all your things and get out of here. They know!" she said before disappearing.

We all scrambled up and packed all our things quickly. I could hear guards enter the inn and ask where we were. "Let's take the back exit," Erza whispered and we all rushed. I would've laughed if the situation wasn't serious. We look like runaways.

We found the stables and got on our horses. "Stop them!" a guard yelled. Gray turned around and made an ice wall giving us time to escape. "We'll head East from here," Erza said, and we all turned our horses following after her. I looked at Lucy to see if she was alright.

She was staring ahead with a blank expression. I wonder what she's thinking right now or what she's feeling. Is she sad? Mad? Happy? Nah she couldn't be happy after receiving that news.

My eyes widened as I see an arrow fly by. "Luce!" I yelled in fear as the arrow shot towards her. I sighed in relief as she dodged it. "Star Shield!" she chanted and a shield formed around us blocking the arrows.

"They're closing in," Lisanna said in a panic. I looked back to see she's right. They're a few meters behind the shield protecting us. "It's okay. We just need to get them off our tail," Lucy said.

My head started spinning making me grip on the rein tighter. I blinked trying to regain my vision and screamed when a large black thing appeared in front of us. We all pulled on the reins stopping our horses before we could crash. The earth started shaking and we looked up to see the archers on horses galloping past us. Why are they so big? Why are we so small!?

"Thank you Brandish," Lucy spoke shocking us all. Brandish appeared from the shadows and walked up to us. "Anything for you Princess," Brandish slightly bowed before standing straight up. "We should hide, that little hole would suffice," she pointed at a small hole in a tree. We all pulled our horses to that direction and one by one went in.

It's nothing special like I expected it would be. It's probably an animal's house, a squirrel based on the number of acorns in here. "You can settle down. I still have a lot more to tell," she said. We got off our horses and sat on the ground.

"Now where was I? Ahh yes, Zeref. Half of his angel wings have turned dark and that's not good. You know what would happen if an angel turns into a fallen," she looked at Lucy and she nodded. "They lose their Holy blessing, and their sanity as well," Lucy said.

"What's a Holy blessing?" Juvia asked. "It's our power. Every time an angel is born, the King and Queen bless them with their magic," Lucy answered. "So magic wasn't a part of angels?" Erza asked and Lucy nodded in reply.

Seeing as Lucy wasn't gonna talk more, Brandish continued. "You've all heard of the group called Spriggan 12 right?" she asked and we all nodded. The Spriggan 12 is Zeref's bodyguards. People say they're powerful, so I can't wait to fight them! "I am one of them," she said. Woah! It must be my lucky day! "Fight me!" I yelled and everyone sighed.

"My magic allows me to make something big or small. Just like how I got you to escape those archers. It also means I can make your heart as big as I want and let it explode in your body," she said. That's so cool! "Which also means, Natsu, fighting her would lead to your death," Jellal said sternly. I pout and crossed my arms like a child.

"There are 11 more of us and some stronger than I am. So I advise you to be careful. All of the Spriggan 12 except for 1 are willing to help you, but we can't help you in the castle, or else we'll be executed. Although we are close to Zeref once, he won't hesitate to cut off our heads if we disobey him. I'm currently risking my life explaining these to you as of the moment," she said.

"I'm guessing the other one is Invel?" Lucy asked and Brandish nodded. Invel? Who's that? "Yes, and Mard Geer with his group Tartaros. I heard that you encountered Jackal already. You're all lucky to have made it out alive," she said. Lucky? Hah! That cat guy won't stand a chance against me!

"So to sum it all up, Zeref is the prince of demons and as well as Natsu. However, Zeref somehow forgot his memories and Queen Layla took him in and turned him into an angel. After the war 400 years ago, he went berserk and is now turning into a fallen angel. The Queen and King of the Demon kingdom knew this would happen and sent 5 people from their era to this era so they could help Lucy save the world. We still have to find the other 2. 11 of the Spriggan 12 is willing to help us by not fighting against us, but there's still the Tartaros and Invel. Our mission is to break in the castle and make Lucy remove the seal on Zeref," Wendy said in one breath. How did she get all of that!? I thought we were talking about Zeref and food.

"Good job little Sky Dragon Slayer. There's no need to find the other two for I have already found them. I must go back now before Zeref starts to get suspicious," she bowed and disappeared into thin air. Replacing her are two guys around our age. One with blonde hair and the other with black hair.

"Who are you and where are we?"
