It could start with Gildarts just stumbling upon Natsu and Igneel in the forest. Gildarts is on his way back from a mission. Natsu is excited to see a famous wizard like Gildarts. Igneel is a bit cautious at first. But as they start talking, they find out they have common goals. They all want to protect the magic world from any threats. Gildarts starts sharing his knowledge about different magical threats he has faced. Natsu listens intently, and Igneel adds his own thoughts on how dragons have dealt with similar threats in the past. This interaction could lead to a long - lasting friendship or at least a mutual respect among them.
In the fanfiction, Gildarts could meet Natsu and Igneel during a time of crisis. Maybe their town is under attack. Gildarts would immediately jump into action, and Natsu would follow suit, with Igneel guiding Natsu from the side. Gildarts might be impressed by the way Natsu and Igneel work together, as if they share a single mind. They could communicate without words, and Gildarts would try to learn from their unique bond. After the battle, Gildarts would offer to train Natsu further, seeing his great potential enhanced by his connection with Igneel.
Well, one possibility is that Gildarts could share some of his powerful magic techniques with Natsu. Since Gildarts is a very experienced wizard, he might see the potential in Natsu and offer some tips on how to better control his fire magic, which is similar to Igneel's. Maybe he could also tell Natsu some stories about his own adventures that would inspire Natsu to become even stronger.
It depends on how the author of the fanfiction has developed the plot and the characters. They could have given Natsu some special power - up or a unique situation that makes him stronger than Gildarts. For example, the author might have introduced a new form for Natsu that gives him an edge in combat, or perhaps they've weakened Gildarts in some way for the sake of the story. However, in the original series, Gildarts is extremely powerful, so this is a significant departure in the fanfiction.
Gildarts would probably win. He's one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail. His magic is very versatile and his strength is off the charts. Natsu is strong, no doubt, but he's still young and has a lot to learn. In fanfiction, the writers might be tempted to make it a close fight, but realistically, Gildarts' skills and power level are much higher. He's faced much tougher opponents and come out on top.
One reason could be a new magic source. Natsu might discover a powerful magic that surpasses Gildarts' abilities.
Natsu could try his all - out offensive with his most powerful fire attacks. He might start with his Fire Dragon's Roar and then quickly follow up with a combination of punches and kicks enhanced with his fire magic. Another strategy could be to use his environment. If they're in a place with flammable materials, he can set them on fire to create distractions or additional sources of power for his attacks.
One great fanfiction could be about Natsu's training with Igneel. In it, Igneel imparts not only fire - based combat skills but also valuable life lessons to Natsu. Another might focus on a time - travel scenario where Natsu goes back in time and meets a younger Igneel, and they form a different kind of bond. There are also fanfictions that explore Igneel's perspective on Natsu's growth as a wizard.
One popular storyline is about Natsu's journey to become stronger in the memory of Igneel. He often faces tough battles and overcomes them with the power Igneel instilled in him. Another is where Natsu discovers hidden secrets about Igneel's past that change his perspective on his own life and powers. And sometimes, there are fanfictions that feature Igneel coming back in some form to guide Natsu further in his adventures.
The interaction might be initially cautious. Rick might be wary as he doesn't know Clementine well yet, but her pregnancy could make him more inclined to give her a chance. Clementine would also be careful, not knowing if she can fully trust Rick. As time passes, they could learn to rely on each other. For example, Rick could help Clementine with finding a safe place to give birth, and Clementine could offer her unique skills to Rick's group, like her knowledge of certain areas or her ability to find hidden resources.
In the fanfiction, their interaction could be full of surprises. Percy is used to the Greek gods' meddling, and Jason has his own experiences with the Roman gods. When they meet, they could exchange stories about how the gods have both helped and hindered them. This could lead to some interesting discussions about the differences and similarities between the two pantheons. And as they get to know each other better, they could develop a mutual respect for their respective powers and skills.
It could be friendly. Paul might be friendly and welcoming towards Annabeth, seeing her as an important person in Percy's life. He could offer her a place to stay if she needs it in the mortal world.
