…Let it be known that I tried to hold back from starting another story so soon… but I failed. So go laugh, laugh at my misery.
Anyway, here's a new story for you all to despise with all of your hatred and anger.
Summary: An independent guild known as Angelic Tears had appeared during the seven years the Tenrou group were gone. However this guild have been all around the world of Earthland, destroying dark guilds, corrupted light guild and even those within kingdoms that were an enemy. One thing known about them is that they do whatever they want and what is necessary for victory to be achieved. What will happen when Natsu encounters two of these unknown members of the guild? There's only one way to find out.
Crossover elements will exist, though if you know me by now, you probably already know this. The OCs in the story may not be too original, as some of them are based on other people/characters, but it's not like I haven't done something like that before, I mean just look at "Light's Hope" and "Fairy Tail: Torn World" for examples.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter One: Encounter
"Man… that was too easy." Natsu stated as he walked through the town, passing by other people, looking around the small festival that was taking place.
Natsu Dragneel of the Fairy Tail guild had just recently finished a job about defeating a group of bandits that were terrorizing the roads to this town, since they were blocking off travelers and supplies from arriving. Due to the job having just bandits, it wasn't that much of a challenge to the pink haired Dragon Slayer.
One might be wondering where the rest of his team is, as they don't seem to be around. Erza was already on an S-Class mission, so she was not around when Natsu took the job. Lucy already had the money she needed for the month for her rent, so she didn't come. Natsu would rather fight Gildarts at full power than asking the Ice Stripper for help. Wendy, Carla, and Happy were on another mission themselves. The reason Happy was with them was simply to attempt to get closer to Carla. And by that it obviously means trying to win the other exceed's heart with fish. So because of all of this, Natsu went on and did the job on his own.
It was now currently around evening, as the sky was getting darker by the minute, with stars appearing in the sky to light it up in the sun's place. But that didn't stop this own from having a festival for the night. Natsu couldn't help but smile at everything around him. He liked it when people were having a good time and feeling the excitement and joy in the air.
He eventually arrived in the more opened area of the town, where a small stage was built for anyone who liked to sing. This was also where most of the stands selling food were located as well.
"Well then, better go find me some food and enjoy myself." Natsu told himself as he went on to do what he said. Since he wanted to partake in the festival and due to it being night, the pink haired male would head back to his guild tomorrow. Right now, it's time for him to enjoy himself.
In another part of the large crowd around the area, two people were seen making there way through. One of them was more in a hurry than the other one though.
The one in the lead had the appearance of a lean young male who looked to be around eighteen years old. He had wild crazy grey colored hair and a rather pale skin tone. He wore black jeans and wore a sleeveless plain white colored shirt. He had blue eyes and was barefooted. This person was named Crul Faith.
"Hurry up Chris!" The first male called out to the guy behind him, who was taking his time to enjoy the atmosphere of the festival, "I still have the smell, we need to hurry before I loose it!" He exclaimed at his friend.
"Calm down Crul, are you sure you a Dragon Slayer is here in this town? Maybe the crowd is messing with your sense of smell." Chris stated.
Chris, full name Chris Snow, was a rather odd looking fellow compared to everyone else in the crowd. For one, he wore a black jacket with a hood covering his head and arms. He wore black fingerless gloves, and wore black pants and boots as well. Underneath the jacket was a dark grey shirt he wore. The weird thing about him though was the fact that despite wearing his hood, he appears to be wearing some sort of black helmet with glowing blue symbols on the front of it, which makes one wonder how he was able to see. Over his hood and ears, he was wearing headphones as well. Naturally, it was a rather odd look. (AN: Just look up the mascot of "Smash into Pieces". This is what the guy looks like.)
"Chris, you know that my sense of smell never fails me. I know that I smell a presence of a Dragon Slayer here." Crul stated back at him with a determined look.
"I have to find that hard to believe. Dragon Slayers aren't exactly common you know." Chris replied back as he looked at the stage, where people were taking turns to sing and having a grand old time.
Before Crul could respond to his friend, the smell he sense was getting closer. This got him to be alerted as he began to move on ahead.
"He's near! Come on Chris!" Crul exclaimed once again as he headed through the crowd of people. Chris simply sighed as he followed his fellow ally.
Not far from where they were, Natsu was finish gulping down some hot dogs that he managed to gets his hands on from a nearby stand. After finishing it, he looked over at the stage where the people were around, singing on, and naturally having a grand old time.
'That seems like fun to do.' The pink haired Dragon Slayer thought to himself as he watched someone finished singing. However Natsu didn't feel like he would do well at singing, and figured he would only embarrassed himself if he were to try.
Shaking his head from those thoughts, he figured he would just retire for the night at the hotel he was staying at, and then head back to Mangolia in the morning. Before he could take a step in that direction though…
"I found you!"
Natsu was confused, before realizing someone was behind him. Turning around, he then saw Crul arriving as he stared at the pink haired male.
"Who? Me?" Natsu questioned, wanting to make sure that this guy was referring to him.
"Yes, you," Crul stated to him, getting Natsu confused. Who was this guy talking to him? And what did he want? His answer came when the grey haired male spoke once more, "You're giving off the smell like that of a dragon. Are you a Dragon Slayer?" He questioned the pink haired Fairy Tail mage, wanting to make sure that his suspicions were correct.
Natsu though was surprised to see this guy before him asking whenever or not he was a Dragon Slayer. The pink haired male was more surprised to even pick up the scent of a Dragon Slayer.
"Yeah, I'm a Dragon Slayer. What's it to you?" Natsu asked back, wondering who this guy was and how he could notice the scent Dragon Slayers have for them to be recognized as ones. His answer though seemed to have surprised the other guy, as he looked at him disbelief despite expecting the answer he got.
"…To think that there were more of you…" Crul trailed off, getting Natsu to be confused.
"Huh? What do you-?" Natsu was about to ask what he meant by that, if not for the arrival of Chris.
"Oh? So you found the guy then?" Chris spoke, getting Natsu to be confused by the new guy's presence.
"Who are you?" Natsu questioned the masked person, getting him to laugh a little.
"Oh right, introductions are needed I guess. My name is Chris Snow, and my friend here is named Crul Faith," Chris explained to Natsu, before he went on, "So is it true then? You are a Dragon Slayer yourself?"
"Of course I am!" Natsu responded back, "I'm Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail."
"Fairy what?" Chris questioned, as he and Crul never heard of this Fairy Tail place before. There answer got Natsu to be surprised.
"Fairy Tail! The guild! You never heard of it?" Natsu replied back to them as he didn't understand how they could not have heard of his guild before. They are after all the top guild in Fiore once more.
"Sorry," Crul started to say, getting Natsu to look back at the grey haired male, "Crhis and I aren't from Fiore. We just arrived here recently." He explained to the pink haired male in front of him.
This surprised Natsu. They were from another country?
"Oh, so you two came from elsewhere," Natsu spoke once more, getting the two in front of him to nod, "Are you guys from another country in Ishgar then?" He asked the two.
"Well," Chris spoke up once, getting the Fire Dragon Slayer to look at the masked person, "I'm not from Ishgar. I come from another country in another continent." He explained to the Fairy Tail mage.
"Huh? Another continent?" Natsu asked both in surprised and confusion.
"Yeah," Crul spoke up, getting Natsu to look at the grey haired male once again, "I'm originally from the country Joya in Ishgar." He finished telling Natsu, who seemed to be a big surprised by all of this, as well as interested.
"Whoa, that's pretty cool." Natsu admitted. He doesn't know many people that came from outside of Fiore, let alone the continent Ishgar.
Before The Fire Dragon Slayer could comment, Crul spoke up once more, getting Natsu to look at the male.
"So Natsu, if you are a Dragon Slayer, then you must be strong then right?" Crul questioned, to which Natsu of course nodded.
"Of course I am. Why you ask?" Natsu asked the other before him.
"Can you show me?" He responded with a question, to which surprised Natsu at first. This guy wanted to fight him? The pink haired male couldn't help but grin though at the thought of a fight. Since the bandits from the job he took here didn't provide any challenge whatsoever, maybe Crul could provide that challenge for him.
"Are you asking for a fight?" Natsu asked with a grin on his face, to which Crul also mirrored.
"Maybe I am. You're not afraid of a duel are you?" He responded, his grin still present on his face as Natsu also still had his own grin.
Chris simply looked at his friend and Natsu before turning to the stage where people were using. He then looked back at the two in front of him as he spoke up.
"Hey you two," The masked man started to say, getting both Crul and Natsu to look at him, "If you two are going to fight, why not make a show out of it?" He suggested.
This got Natsu to be confused, though Crul understood what his friend meant as he smiled.
"I see no problem with that," The grey haired male agreed to his friend's idea before looking back at Natsu, "What do you say Natsu? Want to give the people here a good show?" He offered, getting Natsu to understand what he meant.
'They want the crowd here to watch us battle huh?' Natsu thought to himself, before decided that that wasn't a problem for him. He wouldn't mind showing off to those around him, "Alright, you got yourself a deal."
Hearing this, Chris then started to head to the stage, planning to set this all up properly.
Alright, there's that. The next chapter will show Crul and Natsu battling. Who will win? Only I know the answer to that because I'm the author.
Or am I?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I am.
Also, to let you all know, I will most likely start two new stories sometime in the near future. One of them is "The Heart of an Artist", the official sequel to "The Music of Natsu", and the other story if "Unity", which is the official sequel to "You are Loved Natsu Dragneel". So expect those sometime soon hopefully.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
