Vol1/Chapter08/Friend or Foe

Summary
Everyone reacts to Porlyusica's news that Natsu is pregnant with disbelief. She explains that Tiamat gave Natsu the equivalent of a dragon fertility drug to impregnate him and now he is carrying a demi god.

Laxus corroborates that Natsu said that Tiamat had tricked him into drinking a solution to induce his heat.

They decide that it is best to withhold the information from Natsu until he has had a chance to deal with his captivity and torture.

Gray snaps from the stress and begins to laugh about the situation causing everyone to become concerned about him.

Makarov sends Sting to the infirmary to be tested just in case and went into his own office with Laxus to ask him more questions about his conversation with Natsu.

Erza, Gray and Lyon make their way back to the main area of the guild hall to absorb the news they have just received when two strangers enter the guild. They are wearing Penta Dragons cloaks and Erza and Gray approach them warily. Gray sends Lyon upstairs to tell the dragon slayers to stay out of sight.

Tiamat takes to the sky in her dragon form. Now that she has awoken her light and fire magic she is able to hold this form for longer periods of time. It is now several days since she destroyed the Penta Dragon headquarters and claimed her freedom. She goes off in search of Acnologia, planning on making an alliance with him. She wishes to restore dragons to Earthland and take vengeance on humans.

She finds a cave and decides to take shelter in it. She reverts to her human avatar and lays down to sleep. She awakes to a noise and finds a man outside of the cave. He demands to know what she is doing there and notices her sniffing him. He does the same and immediately readies for battle.

Tiamat changes back to her dragon form and takes to the air. She tells him who she is and asks if he is Acnologia's dragon slayer. He laughs as he realizes that Tiamat thought he was a black dragon. He tells her that he killed all the dragons 400 years ago.

Tiamat becomes furious and they begin to battle. She realizes that she is not yet strong enough to fight him and teleports to Era in search of Cobra.
