Drive

Adrian giddily made his way back to the guild with a smile on his face that would put even Orochimaru to shame, as he wasn't expecting such an amazing haul from killing Serena

He thought he'd only get a crap load of points, but not only that, he'd received the dragon slayer lacrimas of Serena, which would help out his guild members a lot

When Adrian arrived at the guild he saw everyone doing their own thing such as conversing with one another, or drinking with Cana, or were looking at the mission board

"Natsu! Wendy! Get over here!" Adrian shouted across the room getting everyone's attention as they looked over at him to see him really excited about something

Natsu and Wendy quickly made their way over to him as he eyed them up and down, slightly unnerving them

Adrian then started giggling as he stared at them causing a shiver to run down their backs

'Ah Wait crap I'm becoming to much like Orochimaru right now, I should probably stop'

"Okay come with me the both of you" Adrian said as he dragged the two of them out of the guild and headed out to the training ground, where they were joined by Makarov and a few of their friends

"What do you think is going on Master?" Erza asked as she stood beside their master in the shade beneath a tree, while watching Adrian, Natsu and Wendy who were currently standing in the middle of the field

"I'm not too sure, but Adrian wouldn't have brought them here for nothing" the Master replied. However as they were all watching Gray spoke up

"Umm don't you all think that this is private?" He asked them, only to be asked a question himself by Erza. "You wanna know what's going on too don't you?" She said causing hi to shut up and her to smirk in victory

"Mirajane do you know what's happening?" Erza asked Mira who told them no

Back to Adrian

"Okay so your both probably wondering why I've called you here" receiving nods he continued "Well I've recently come into possession of a few dragon lacrimas, and two of them are the Purgatory dragon slayer lacrima, and the gale dragon slayer lacrima. With these the both of you much more powerful"

Natsu and Wendy were both shocked after hearing this and were looking at Adrian with their jaws on the ground. Adrian found this hilarious before he started to click his fingers in front of their faces trying to regain their attention

After a few moments they both came back to their senses and were very excited themselves, as they stared at Adrian with stars in their eyes

Adrian just chuckled before he brought out the two Lacrimas, which shone brightly in everyone's presence. As Makarov stood to the side watching he was shocked as he knew what a dragon slayer lacrima looked like, after his son Ivan had brought one home for Laxus

Makarov was stunned and was wondering where on Earth Adrian managed to find 2, as they were very rare and valuable. Especially considering the fact that these two lacrimas just gave off more power than Laxus's one ever did

The Purgatory dragon slayer lacrima was dark red while the Gale dragon slayer lacrima was dark grey. When Adrian brought it out, the two lacrimas seemed to be attracted to Natsu and Wendy, and immediately began to float towards them and entered their chests, causing a warm feeling to surround them, before a bright light engulfed heir bodies, and released a very powerful wave of magic throughout the entire training field, allowing everyone present to feel that their power had just gone up by 5x

(A/N: Does that seem like too much?..... eh I don't care 🤷‍♂️)

When the bright light began to fade everyone was shocked, even Adrian who didn't think anything could actually shock him. Both Natsu and Wendy had changed, as they both had marking all over their bodies, signifying the fact that they've achieved both Flame and Wind Drive, a special state only accessible to dragon slayers who can increase their power levels to a level unlike any other

Everyone who was watching from the sideline had lost all feeling in their bodies as they felt like they had when the others were still missing and they were up against Sabretooth. Completely outmatched

Natsu has Red/Golden markings over his body which looked like they were alive and were dancing around his body, meanwhile Wendy had Grey markings over hers

Clenching their fists they could feel the immense amount of magic power within them, and felt more in tune with their dragon slayer powers, more so than ever before. Right now they were wondering how things would've gone if they had this power back during the games, or when they went up against the dragons

Adrian could tell that he both of them in this form made Sting and Rogue seem like children toys, and was glad that he managed to Hell them reach this level of power

"The both of you may have a lot more power than before, but don't forget that it also means your more dangerous and volatile to others, for as long as you've yet to control this power, your a danger to everyone here. With great power comes great responsibility, remember that. You need to keep your training up for you to be able to go up against our enemies and protect our friends. I trust the both of you with this power, I hope you don't let me down"

Adrian's words struck both Natsu and Wendy deeply as they saw him in a completely new light. He wasn't just a close friend, but a mentor who held their best interests at heart, and decided that they wouldn't let him down. So with a resolute nod they then thanked him and went off to train in their new abilities and get used to it

After they headed off, Adrian smiled as he knew that his words were very effective, but then sighed as he saw everyone approaching him, and knew that he'd have to explain everything to them
