AN: Hello everyone this is a replacement for my other story 'The Titan-slayer of Fiore' because I deemed it a failure. Sorry to those of you who liked it, but I just didn't think it received much love as much as my other stories did.
Chapter 1
Ignatius
The forest of magnolia was mostly quiet today, except for a small figure curled up next to tree. If someone was near they would notice that this figure was a small boy with raven hair, a green shirt, brown pants, and sandals. This was Romeo Conbolt and he was crying, it's been a week since the death of the Tenrou Group, yet it was still bothering him.
He ran into the forest, he just needed to be alone,
"It's not fair!*sniff* Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Happy didn't deserve this!" Romeo said crying. He was like that for about 15 minutes before he got and goes deeper into the forest.
3 hours later the six year old boy makes his way to large campsite. In the premises were five men who looked anything but friendly. Four of them were wearing black cloaks while the other one, who Romeo assumed was the leader, looked completely different.
He was a man in his late 20s. He has dark black hair and piercing blood red eyes. He was wearing a dark purple leather jacket that goes down to his knees on the bottom, but only goes a little bit past his shoulders on the top . He is wearing a dark blue t-shirt, and dark purple leather pants with zippers on the mid thighs, held up by a silver belt, he also has dark purple laced boots. He was also wearing dark purple leather gloves with spike wrist bands. Lastly he has two cross necklaces around his neck and is holding a dark sheath blade with a handle coming out of it. Romeo was hiding behind some bushes so they couldn't see him. They were currently standing around in the campsite speaking to each other,
"Alright so we have everything we need?" the leather wearing man asks he five others.
"Yes Damian, we have everything we need." One with green hair said.
"Let's review the plan one more time so we don't forget." Another man with dark blue hair that was covering his left eye said.
"Alright Jamison," another one with blood red hair said, "First we'll attack all the Law enforcement departments in Magnolia so we don't have to deal with annoying rats trying to play the hero, Second we attack all the guilds, I count a number of five including Fairy Tail Twilight Ogre and three others, and lastly confront the mayor and take the town."
"This plan needs to go down flawlessly, no mishaps. And no one can know about this if we want to succeed. But I'm a little concerned about Fairy Tail, they are the strongest in Fiore." The green haired man states.
"Oh relax Zane, most of fairy tail's members are gone on some island or something, at least that's what our scouts say." A white haired man said with his hands behind his head in a relaxed manner.
"Laid-back as always I see Orion." the red haired man commented.
"You know me so well Sebastian." the white haired one said back.
"Everything seems to be ready, soon Magnolia will be under new management." Damon says to his colleagues who all grin devilishly at the leather wearing man, who was grinning back.
"Oh my gosh, they're planning on taking over Magnolia." Romeo whispered to himself while he was hiding behind a tree, "I need to leave before they find me."
Romeo turns around and was about to run only for him trip with a loud thumb sound which was sure to grab the attention of the dark wizards.
"Ow that hurt..." Romeo said getting up before he sees a blinding light in front of him and was met with the eyes of Damian.
"Oh, will you look at this we seem to have a little mole", he says grabbing Romeo by the back of his collar and teleports them to the rest of them. He throws Romeo on the table and pins him down.
"I'm guessing he heard our plan right?" Zane asked.
"Correct." Damian answers.
"Then kill him, we can't just let him return home with that kind of information." Zane said as his hand turn into an ax made of stone. He was about to strike a scared to death Romeo when Jamison stopped him, "Jamison what the hell!?"
"We've killed enough people, I have a simpler why of handling this," he says as he places his hand on Romeo's head and a slowly spinning white magic circle appears under the six year old boy.
"W-What's h-h-happening?" Romeo said with a look of pure terror.
"Mind Crash", was all that Romeo heard before his eyes started glowing white. He was like that for a minute before the spell stopped and Romeo fell back on the table unconscious.
"What just happened?" Sebastian asked.
"I used a spell I learned to wipe his memories. However I'm not really that good in this particular magic so almost all his memories are erased." Jamison explained.
"So he might still know about our plans?" Zane asked.
"No, I mean I might have erased more then what I had intended to erase." Jamison admitted.
"So your saying once this kid wakes up he could not remember anything about himself?" Damian asked again.
"Yes, now enough questions, we gotten drop him off somewhere." Jamison says as he throws the unconscious boy over his shoulder and begins to walk somewhere else.
The Entrance of a Large Cave
"This is good." Jamison said as he lays Romeo down on the floor of cave. He then starts to walk away with Orion, who wanted to walk with him out of sheer boredom .
"Hey Jamison, why didn't you just kill the kid? I've seen you cut down children even younger then him." Orin asked.
Jamison was quiet for a minute before answering, "I didn't see a need to kill him, I only do it when I feel it is necessary."
Orion looks at him for a moment before his eyes go wide and he starts laughing, "Oh my God that's hilarious!"
"What?"
Jamison was ignored as Orion kept laughing.
"Orion seriously what's so funny?"
He was ignored once again. Jamison's forehead has a visible tick mark on his forehead and was clearly getting annoyed at his buddy,
"Would you just tell me what's so damn funny!?" Jamison screamed at him his fist covered in red plasma.
"Marcus! He reminds you about your son, and you got all fatherly and saved him! That's what's so fucking funny!" Orion said still laughing his ass off while ignoring the hated glare getting sent his way.
A Few Hours Later
Romeo starts to take up and he finds himself in a large cave.
"Huh how did I get here?" Romeo asked himself about to walk outside before seeing it was heavily raining, "Doesn't look like I can go outside."
Romeo turns and sees that the cave goes in deeper. Curiosity winning him over, Romeo starts to go deeper into the cave. He keeps going until he finds some sort of glass orb with the fire symbol painted in red on it. (An: The Chinese symbol for fire)
It was sitting on a pedestal that was in between two torches. The one on the left was in normal flames, while the one on the right was in golden flames. Romeo stands there mesmerized by the sight and starts to walk closer to it. As he did he feels the intense heat coming off of the two flames. He places his hand on the glass orb, and for w few minutes it did nothing.
Then suddenly the orb started to glow and float above the pedestal it was on. Romeo starts to back away slowly just when the two flames left the two sticks that they were on and started to spin in mid air. Then they both start to enter the glass orb and started fusing together, at least that's what Romeo thought. The glass orb suddenly has a crack in it, the crack spreads until the whole orb has them. The orb broke and the fire was set free, it starts to take the form of a creature.
The creature's skin was the color of pale skin that was burned slightly. He was walking on bare feet, with some soft of belt that has grass hanging below it with the from showing his knees. Around it's waist and floating on his neck where stones that each had the fire symbol of them. This creature almost would look human, except that his face was covered by some hot rock like substance and that only his left orange eye is showing. On his back were six arms made entirely of golden flames, lastly in his right hand he holds a sheathed katana. (An: Look at the cover)
Now you would think Romeo would be utterly terrified and run away upon his summoning but due to Jamison's memory erasing he is left completely emotionless, so he just stared blankly at the creature. The strange being tend to pick up on this and actually chuckled at the little boy,
"I'm surprised kid, normally people would head for the hills screaming "ghost" upon seeing me."
"Forgive me but who are?" Romeo asks plainly making the begins a little surprised about how a six year old boy can be so emotionless.
"Whoa kid, who the hell shoved a giant try up your ass this morning?"
"I do not know what you mean, can please just answer my question." Romeo asked in that same emotionless tone.
"Alright alright, my name is Ignatius, I'm a Fire Spirit." he explained, "But not just any fire spirit one that'll give you an offer, but before I get into that tell me who you are and more about yourself."
"My name is Romeo, and I'm six years old... that's all I can say about myself." Romeo admitted.
"What do you mean when you say "That's all you can say about yourself?""
Romeo was silent before answering, "I can't seem to remember much about myself, all I know is that my name is Romeo, how old I am, and that I woke up in this cave that I somehow got in and some how came here to you."
"I see, so it's almost like your memories have been altered our taken away." The fire spirit states.
"Are you saying that someone out there has taken away my memories somehow?" Romeo asked him.
"That's exactly what I'm saying, but your not gonna find him, especially in a cruel world like this, not without taking my offer."
"What offer?"
"An offer to transform you into a Fire Spirit-Slayer, who's mere presences alone is enough to make his enemies quake in fear. But if you refuse, I'll let you free and never bother you again."
Romeo stops and thinks, "Fire Slayer magic, why does that seem so familiar to me?" Romeo asked himself as he looks at the fire spirit in the eye, "Alright I'll take your offer."
"Very well, get some sleep though kid, your training starts tomorrow."
"I understand," Romeo says laying down and slowly starts to drift in his sleep.
7 Years Later
Three months Earlier
"*chuckles* Hard to believe it's been 7 years now." Ignatius said as he was sitting in a cave in the mountains of Joya.
"Master Ignatius, we have returned." a voice said causing Ignatius to turn and was met with four pairs of eyes, two of which were Romeo's. They boy has certainly grown since the seven years he was training, he has gotten musclier, mostly around his abdomen, chest, and a little in his arms. He is now wearing a red open, short-sleeved shirt that head none of it's buttons done so it was revealing his musclier chest and abs. He is also wearing sandals, blue shorts that go a little past his knees, and a green belt around his waist. On the right side was a sheathe for a katana with one it in, which was the same one Ignatius had when he first met Romeo. He gave it to him on his 12th birthday (which, luckily, Romeo also remembered.) as a present.
The next pair of eyes belonged to Haru, a wolf cub with wings, yes he has wings. The fire spirit still remembers the time Romeo brought him back when he was 10. He has red eyes, white fur and wings, but the feathers on his wings and the fur on the ends of his ears and tail go black. He was currently resting on Romeo's shoulder.
"Romeo I told you a thousand times not to call me Master, just Ignatius is fine." Ignatius said
"Sorry we'll know next time." Haru states.
Ignatius lets out a sigh, "Anyway, Romeo did you find any leads about your memory stealer?"
"Sadly nothing," Romeo admits.
"I see, maybe in the morning, but for right now get some rest, you have a whole day of training tomorrow." He said as Romeo and Haru go onto a pile of hay Romeo uses as a bed. Romeo lays down and puts his hands behind his head as he sleeps. Haru gets on Romeo's stomach and curls into a ball as he also sleeps.
While the Fire Spirit-Slayer and winged dog were sleeping Ignatius was deep in thought,
"If my calculations are correct tomorrow is the day Romeo will finally become a Fire Spirit like me. That isn't fair considering he doesn't know about it and that he still hasn't found his missing memories." Ignatius said pecking a glance at Romeo who was still sleeping, "But Igneel had the same problem with Natsu all those years ago and there was only one way he and the rest of the dragons knew how to fix it."
Flashback
"Wait, what do you mean I won't be able to see you anymore?" Ignatius asked looking at the red dragon.
"Simple, tomorrow is July 7, X777, the day Natsu will finally become a dragon like I told you." The fire dragon king explained.
"Ok but what does that have to do with you?" the fire spirit asked clearly confused.
"Simple, to prevent that from happening. You see I'm gonna merge with Natsu's body in order to stop it."
"I do not understand why you would do this, you were a fool to even teach him in the first place, now it costed you." Igneel only smiled at him,
"The answer to that is very simple, Natsu is my son, I want to do everything I can to protect him, even if that means making huge sacrifices. You'll understand someday."
Ignatius sighs in defeat, "You do what you have to do Igneel, you brought it upon yourself anyway. But I assure you there is no way I'm gonna do that in the future."
Flashback End
"Oh man I can't believe how wrong I was." Ignatius said with a chuckle as he shook his head, "Igneel your an idiot, but your a kindhearted idiot."
He then walks over to deep sleeping Romeo,
"Romeo..." Ignatius mumbled, "My job is done, it's time for you to go and forge your own path."
AN: alright so that's done with. Anyway to make sure you guys aren't confused Romeo lost almost all of his memories and only remembers his first name, age, and birthday. Oh and the first girl that Romeo will gain the attention of is Wendy.
