Hey there fellas! As you already know, I'm bringing you ANOTHER crossover, but this time featuring two most populated animes. Now, this is probably my first time I'd write a fanfiction of any Shounen, and popular, anime/manga. To be honest I'm not into Shounen series, but my inspiration just gave me a new idea.
I want to say a few things to you and you deserve to know. Dragon Ball Z is my most favorite anime of all time, BUT only what I watched in my childhood. I mean from the beginning to Cell saga, because the Majin Buu saga was, in my opinion, disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I saw some positive things in that saga, but I wish it could have been better. Also the movie like Battle of Gods, even the new anime, Dragon Ball Super, I couldn't get used how the franchise is kinda…. Childish right now. Let's say I don't get used the constant comedy than in the previous sagas, too many Super Saiyan levels, and see how Goku acts kinda stupid so many times than before. Though I like the abridged version of Goku. Don't get me wrong, I still love Dragon Ball Z no matter what. And I understand to some of you who actually enjoy Dragon Ball Super.
About Fairy Tail, is my least favorite anime. It's not bad, the concept about the world of wizards is interesting and the universe as well; also the characters are good. But I'm going to be frank, it has the biggest flaw. The Deus Ex Machina "Friendship Speeches". The fight scenes should be realistic when the characters tries to use the strategies to win, instead of saying out loud "The friendship never dies" and bla bla bla. I don't know what Mashima was thinking to still make that happen.
I've been ignoring Fairy Tail; for so long that I didn't even care what's happening the story because nothing has changed. Until a month ago I read an amazing DBZ x FT crossover.
Fairy Tail Xenoverse (FTXV) by Synergizer.
To some of you who doesn't know about this fanfic, it's about the Future Warrior, or like I would say, YOUR character in the videogame, gets sucked into the Fairy Tail universe after his battle against Demigra. Yeah, I know the concept is really overused, the beginning of this fanfic was pretty weak to be honest, but if you start to read more chapters, then you'll see it's getting good. Thanks to Synergizer, his work really inspired me to make my own DBZ x FT crossover.
Not only that, it is now the time I should have to do what I always wanted for so long. I'm going to change a few things from Fairy Tail to make it a little better than Mashima's! For example, NO FRIENDSHIP SPEECHES. You heard me, I'm going to make the fight scenes more believable to make the characters defeat their enemies without that cliché.
Well, that's all what you need to hear. Now you can read it. By the way, Synergizer, if you're reading this, I want to thank you for giving me the inspiration. Oh and I also want to thank Team Four Star for their amazing and hilarious Dragon Ball Abridged Series. Your work brought my childhood memories back to love again this amazing anime series.
Well, hope you enjoy the beginning.
Dragon Ball FT.
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Encounter.
The sound of the waterfall flowing over a high cliff and crashing on the surface of pond fills the eternal silence of nature, drowning out the chirping of birds. The place wasn't practically deserted. Down the cliff, a small building was found in the grass – covered riverbank near the waterfall. It was a one-story log house with a red tiled sloppy roof, decorated with a single stone chimney placed on the side of the house, all the way up to the roof. Beside the house, a small garden crop with a variety of fruits and vegetables, while some other plants grew its first leaves.
Suddenly, in the dope, a carp fish jumped out, before a pair of arms extended out and managed to catch it by grabbing its tail. Then, a young man revealed himself when he rose from under the water. Around exactly twenty years old, with messy short straight hair with a single bang brushing against the center of his forehead. His body is surprisingly toned despite being so young to have bulging biceps and his six-pack abs.
The fish tried to get free by flopping around so it can slip from his hands. But the young man had the grasp so tightly that he wouldn't let it away so easily.
"I'm sorry I had to do this, but I just can't help but thinking how delicious you'll look once my mom will roast you." He said with a hungry look just by imagining what he just said.
He threw the fish into the air and then he punched it in the body, hard enough to make it stop struggling. Afterwards, he walked towards the shore where his folded clothes were on top of a rock. Moments later, he was now fully clothed with an olive cargo shorts that goes all way down to his shins with black socks and dark-brown boots. A black sport shirt with its sleeves rolled up and amber vest with a Kanji symbol on his back with the meaning "descendant". Also a pair of wristbands which shares the same color as his pants and a pair of dark fingerless gloves.
After dressing up, the young man picked up the lifeless carp fish and on his shoulder before he made his way to the house.
"Mom! Dad! Today we'll have a giant fish for lunch!" The young man exclaimed out loud when he was nearby.
The main door just opened before a muscular man stepped out of the building to let the sunlight shine on him. Around mid-thirties, with dark shorter hair, spiked off to the left side with bangs hanging over his forehead to below of his eyebrows, and a goatee without a mustache. He wears an unzipped suede jacket, with a white shirt underneath; a pair of grey casual pants and white sneakers.
"Well, look what the rookie fisherman just caught!" The man, who seemingly is the father of the young man, beamed as he crossed his arms after seeing the size of the fish he just caught. "Didn't manage to catch the big one though, Daikon?"
"None of them showed up while I was swimming by." Daikon replied as he stopped to address his father. "This is the largest one I could find, but this will be enough to fill our bellies." He raised the fish to show close the amount of meat it has.
"Well, you came just in time because your mother is already in the kitchen. You better take that fish to her so she will start cooking it." His father stepped aside to let his son get in.
Daikon nodded his head as he crossed the door. The living room was quite spacious, with a dark green two-seat couch and an armchair facing each other, with a coffee table between them; and a large red carpet with patterns of beige and yellow squares in the middle lies under the furniture. There was a stone fireplace ahead, with a wooden shelve filled with ornaments like jugs, candles; even a statue of a dragon with its long serpentine body, long flowing whiskers and sharp teeth. At the end of the right, above a square window, a small bookcase partially filled with books and three photo frames was placed on top of it.
Daikon walked across the oak hardwood floor, until he turned to the left and went through the entrance with beaded curtains instead of a door. The room was a kitchen, not smaller, surrounded with wooden cabinets. A cupboard filled with stacks of meat and vegetables. An arched stone stood over a stove on the right corner, with cooking utensils hanged on the wall, as the fire beneath was heating a couple of pots full of water. A square island table in the middle, which a brunette woman was using it by cutting some carrots with a large knife.
She seemed a little younger than Daikon's father, her appearance was undoubtedly beautiful that his father must have felt very lucky to marry a gorgeous woman. Her height was near the same as Daikon's, though they are not in the same stature. Her long brownish hair reached all over her back, with two long locks resting against her shoulders. She wears a beige sleeveless turtleneck sweater, showing off the white sleeves from her shirt; brown jeans with dark brown shoes, and a white apron since she just started to prepare everything to cook. Daikon saw her usual delighted expression with her eyes closed, wondering how in the world she's having carefully cutting the vegetable without seeing.
"Hey mom." He spoke gently to not startle her since she was still holding the knife.
His mother cracked her eyes open and turned her head to Daikon. "Oh, you're back. How was your fishing day?" She asked.
Daikon smirked before showing the carp fish to his mother. Her mouth went open in surprise before she congratulated him for his achievement. "Just leave it here and I'll take the rest. In the meantime, would you be kind to set the table?"
The young man nodded without hesitating at his mother's favor as he got out of the kitchen.
Moments later, the family was now in the dining room, sitting on the three of the four brown-black chairs with reddish seat cushions. A large square table was already full of plates of food, including the roasted carp fish in the middle. Surprisingly, Daikon and his father served a lot than his mother, that could explain why she made such a banquet. However, they knew to let her have some, even though she doesn't eat much. While nothing special is happening on the meal, Daikon's father decided to break the silence by talking to his son.
"So, Daikon. What are you gonna do once you're now on your own?" He asked as he took a sip of a glass of milk.
Daikon shrugged while he was still eating the bite of the fish he just picked. "I still haven't thought about it yet, though I guess I should start by looking for a nearest city. But maybe it would be easy if I come across a village and ask somebody." He replied.
"But how would you find a place to live? There's no way I'm going to let you leave and turn into a homeless." The brown haired mother said, wearing a frown of concern on her face.
Daikon turned to his mom with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be hard to find an inn until I get enough Jewels to buy myself an apartment. Besides, I know how to take care of myself, but I promise I won't live in the streets for so long."
"And how you're going to get jewels? You are about looking for a job?" The older man asked.
Daikon snorted. "I don't think so. No offense, but I can do better than working on a construction. There's more ways to earn money without a job, like catching the most wanted criminals and collect the rewards." He chuckled. "I know this sounds like I want to be a bounty hunter, but maybe I'll just do it once because I wouldn't live with a lot of money without spending."
"I'm glad to hear it. For that moment I was getting worried about what you just said. You have to think carefully about your future." The mother said in relief as she continued to eat peacefully.
"By the way, are you still looking forward to find a wizard?" His father asked with a smile.
The question made Daikon's eyes widened with the fork inside of his mouth. He remained silent for a moment before he pulled the fork out of his lips and set it down on the table. Then, he interlocked his hands like he has something to confess, but choosing his words carefully.
"Well... I'm a little bit excited that I will finally meet one of them. And have the chance to learn more about what they do, but the one thing that really interest me is what kind of powers they have, and how much is different than we have." He said to his father.
"It seems you haven't changed ever since you were young." His mother beamed at his statement, as she remembered how many times Daikon said he wanted to meet a wizard when he was a kid.
"What else are you planning once you accomplish your dream? Are you going to pick them a fight?" Daikon's father chuckled.
"Ren! You shouldn't give him such an idea like that!" The woman scowled at her husband.
Daikon rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, that's what I had in mind all along." He said before he laughed nervously.
His mother glanced at him in shock before she let out a sigh and shook her head. "Daikon, I understand you are very curious about the wizards and their powers, but asking for a fight is absolutely inappropriate." She said sternly. "It's not because I'm worried about your safety, but what would happen if you face someone stronger than you?"
Ren placed his hand to her's gently to reassure her. "Tomoro, he knows how to avoid getting into trouble. I don't think he intends to just attack a mage on sight. Wouldn't you?" He looked to his son.
"Of course not." Daikon replied plainly. "I won't lie, I am so anticipating to witness the power which so many people call it, the "Magic". Asking for a spar doesn't sound hostile at all, so I won't have any problems with anyone. Then again, it's too soon that I'll just fly around and asking people if they've seen a mage; I just want to make things slower, no hurries."
"I'm surprised you are being patient, though that doesn't suit with your personality." Ren chuckled.
"Just don't want to feel the time is running faster these days," Daikon replied humorously. "There's no reason I need to rush." Eventually, Daikon finished what remained of his food, as he sighed filled with pleasure and patted his belly. "Thanks for the meal, mom! If anyone needs me, I'm going to my room and pack my things for the travel." He stood up from the table and walked away, leaving his parents behind.
"He really has become cautious and mature than we thought." Tomoro said with a proud smile across her face, but it quickly vanished as looked at Ren. "Honey, you wouldn't mind if I ask you something? And I want you to be honest with me?"
Ren blinked before he shrugged. "Go ahead, what's on your mind?" He said incurious.
Tomoro bit her lower lip. "I know our son is nearly stronger as you. But the only matter what bothers me, what would happen if his life gets in danger for something he can't deal with, do you believe he can overcome to his last breath?" Her voice was not showing any sign of disturbance, but her hand clenched in her lap, meaning she doesn't feel absolutely okay because of her supposition.
The sturdy man with the goatee stared at his wife intently, as his face grew thoughtful. "I care about my son's welfare as you do, and I'm aware that sooner or later he will face some people who will try to hurt him, or even worst." He answered plainly. "Yet, that's not the only reason why I wanted him to learn how to defend himself. One day, he will use his powers for something more important than that. There will be someone who might need him when are in distress; no matter what kind of situation, Daikon won't turn his back and walk away, even if he shouldn't get involved."
"And what he gets in return?" Tomoro inquired softly.
Ren let the smile spread across his face. "The trust of the people he helped until he won't be alone anymore. They will be his allies, and friends what he really needs."
His words managed to calm her anxiety, without ever doubting or questioning him for being optimistic. She always had the unbroken trust on Ren because, apart from being a good husband, he proved himself how much he loves Daikon and even spent his time with their son when he started to train him in the forests. However, she has one last question remain just to make sure that everything will be fine for Daikon.
"Do you think he can control it?" She said.
Ren looked over the hallway to the right door opened, which Daikon went in moments ago, as he peered to see what he was doing. The young man was packing a duffle bag, lying on top of his bed, with clothes and some belongings like a couple of books, a toothbrush, including a picture frame.
"He took a lot of time to make it. He can contain it, but he must learn not to get carried away." He said with seriousness on his tone.
Tomoro stood up from her chair as she stood beside him to watch their son. "What if he learns that he can transform?" She asked.
Ren furrowed his eyebrows like he knows what are the consequences if something like this would happen. "I just hope he won't." The responsible father replied.
The next morning, after having a good breakfast, Daikon was now outside of his house, carrying the duffle bag with all his luggage and now ready for the journey. However, he was having a moment with his father because he wanted to have a short conversation before leaving.
"So are you sure you and my mom gonna be okay without me?" Daikon asked.
Ren, with his crossed arms, gave him a sad smile. "It would be pretty hard to get used to live with an empty room. But I'm sure we'll be fine, you know nothing wrong has happened in here after you were born." He said.
"Daikon!" They both heard Tomoro yelling, as they turned around before the door was opened and saw her coming out and running after them. She was holding a small pouch. "You almost forgot to take these with you!"
"Oh man, the Senzu Beans! I can't believe I was about to leave without them! Thanks mom!" Daikon exclaimed like a child recovering his balloon.
His mother smiled as she handed the pouch to him. "You need them more than we do. But remember that there's only a few, so use it just when you need them urgently." She recommended.
Daikon nodded with his head. "I'll keep that in mind." He kept it inside of his pocket. "Well… Is there anything else you want to tell me before I go?"
"Remember what I told you everything you needed to learn to survive. And… Please do not even try to blow everything up on your surroundings." His father suggested with a grin, putting his hand against his son's shoulder and shook him a little.
Tomoro stepped forward to Daikon before she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his shoulder. "I'm proud you have become an adult and you have the age to make your own choices. I'm going to miss you so much."
Daikon went taken aback when he heard mom sniffing in the verge of tears. He doesn't like to see her cry in front of him, one reason because that makes his heart aching with sadness. So he tried to soothe her by rubbing her back and giving the hope that won't be the last time she will see him again.
"M-Mom, that doesn't mean I will be far away from you for a long time. I promise I'll come back, anytime soon when I decide to tell you how was my journey." Daikon said as he gave her his cheerful expression to let her know he's going to keep that promise.
Fortunately, his mom had calmed down before she would make an emotional scene, as she broke the hug and wiped the tears off his eyes.
"You're right, sorry I overreacted." She said while laughing in embarrassed. "I'll make sure your room stays clean while you're gone. Be careful out there, and I hope you'll have an exciting story to tell us when you return."
Daikon smiled and nodded in approval. "Well then, I take my leave." Daikon turned around as he raised his head, before his feet began to rise into the air from the ground and went up to the blue sky. He turned back to his parents and waved his hand. "See ya next time!" He bid farewell.
"Goodbye, Daikon!" His parents exclaimed, waving back at him.
Then, Daikon flew away from the house in the waterfall, flying across the places he never explored before as he watched the largest area of forests and landscapes around him, crossing the rivers and valleys, and even flying over the mountains. While he could feel the refreshing wind breeze on his face, making his hair blowing backwards. He waited for so long to fly aimlessly all over the land of Fiore in freedom, just like he always dreamed about. He knew he should look for a nearby town, instead of getting lost in the middle of nowhere; But that wouldn't be very hard for him because he can see everything from up here, so he could spot a group a buildings.
Suddenly his peaceful flight soon came to interrupt when he perceived something out of normal on his nostrils, that he stopped abruptly from flying but remained floating in the air. He sniffed a couple of times and realized that smells like something is burning. That's not all, he just sensed too many presences that was not too far away from him, so he turned his head in the exact direction where he felt and saw trails of black smoke coming from a grassy open field in the forest. There was a group of small buildings in there before noticing some of them were on fire. This made Daikon frown in realization that something is happening in there, without hesitating he flew towards the place.
While he was almost nearby, he just heard the screams from the inhabitants. He rushed immediately.
The small village was in flames.
Dozens of defenseless and distressed civilians were trying to put out the fire with buckets of water, others were trying to take all their belongings out of the burning thatched houses, but they were also running away from an unknown group of dangerous looking men standing in the middle of a narrow street. They appeared to be bandits because most of them were dressed in old scruffy clothes; all of them were cloaked and their faces were concealed with red facemasks, even they're wearing bands on their arms. The attackers were armed with weapons like swords, axes and spears, and a few of them
They were following a man who was at the front, walking quietly without even mind what's going on. However, the wicked smile was spread across his face by watching the panic spreading throughout the once peaceful place, like his purpose was to send a warning to the other towns that they must beware of him and his gang. Unlike the bandits, he doesn't wear a face mask or a brand, only a pair of dark welders goggles on his forehead; a long dark coat with faux fur around the collar, strangely, it was made in a wolf's skin, brown multi pocket pants buckled with a black belt and dark brown boots.
"Hey boss, what do you want us to do with the villagers?" One of his men asked as he threw the torch inside the another abandoned house by the window.
"Do whatever you want, I don't even care what happens to them." The leader replied coldly with a shrug. "Oh, and you better start looting the stores around here before burning them to the ground."
His response cheered the aggressive group, before they scattered to take whatever they could to fill their pockets. They even began to steal some livestock animals from the farms, mostly chickens and pigs. For the civilians who weren't lucky to escape from the dangerous outlaws, were being robbed and harassed, suffering the humiliation that they couldn't stand a chance to defend themselves.
A woman with dirty blond hair with the dusty skin by the ashes, was running while holding a crying baby on her arms, trying to get passed from the bandits and get out of the hellish place. was running, holding a crying baby in her arms, trying to get passed from the bandits and get out from the hellish place. But then a big foot just stepped in her way and she tripped over. The woman fell on her back to avoid the baby getting hurt as she whimpered in pain when she felt her arm being scraped on the ground. She opened her eyes to see who tripped her on purpose, until she froze in fear when she saw a large bald and ugly man, carrying a heavy war hammer on his shoulders as he was staring at the woman with an evil grin.
"N-No! Please, don't hurt my child!" The woman begged in tears, as she hugged her baby tightly, as the kid didn't stop wailing.
The big man said nothing, he just grabbed the handle of his weapon with two hands and raised above his head. The woman gasped in horror when she suddenly realized what he's about to do.
"No! Stop it!" She cried.
He brought his hammer down.
THUMP
The sadistic smile of the giant bandit just changed into a bewildered expression when he saw the woman suddenly disappeared before the hammer impacted with the ground. He looked on both sides, thinking the woman somehow managed to escape from the hammer, but she was neither on both directions and it's obviously impossible she would be very fast.
"What the! Look up there!" Another bandit brought attention to all the group by yelling while pointing up.
Everyone, including the leader and what remained of the hopeless villagers raised their heads and their eyes widened in shock like they're watching that something is falling from the sky. But it was not like they would expected, they were were watching a young man literally floating up in the air, holding the blond woman and the baby in his arms. The bandits stopped with their incursion and the innocents also stopped of running, they have never seen a human being with the ability to fly. For the civilians, they were staring at him with joy because he just saved the woman from an atrocious death. The thugs weren't intimidated at all, even though it's incredible to see a guy flying, they weren't so stupid to think he's some kind of God.
"Are you okay?" Daikon asked to the woman, showing his intense frown after he witnessed what was happening here. And of course he was not happy what those thugs were doing.
She was speechless, but she managed to nod with her head. Though she was also scared of falling or dropping her baby by accident at this height. However, to her surprise, her baby just stopped crying after Daikon saved them.
Daikon slowly descended and landed right in front of the bandits, a few meters away from them, as he let go the woman gently when her feet touched the ground.
"Go now." Daikon said, without taking his eyes off the bandits.
The blond woman didn't hesitate, but before she leaves with the child, she have to the savior the two words to make him remember after what he has done to her life and the baby.
"Thank you." Then, she promptly ran off the village safe and sound.
While Daikon was ignoring the stares everyone was giving to him, he crossed his arms and addressed to the attackers.
"Don't you have important business you can do rather than burning villages?" He interrogated with indignity on his voice.
"Who do you think you are to tell us what to do?" One of the bandits retorted, as the other thugs yelled in agreement, like they're trying to show they are not intimidated after Daikon's self introduction in the sky.
"Everyone, how about you shut the hell up and let me deal with him!" The leader yelled, making his men flinched and decided to stay quiet. He turned back to Daikon as he crossed his arms. "I'm surprised you have the balls to ask me that question. However, this is not of your goddamn business to answer you." He hissed. "So would you be kind to get the hell outta my sight, unless I'll have to ask my partner over here to crush your head like a watermelon."
The big man with the hammer growled at Daikon for taking away his first victim of the day.
"You are too kind to let me go, but I'm afraid I have to refuse." He glared at the giant bandit. "Your psycho almost took a life of a woman protecting her child with no mercy. You think I will just walk away and ignore that?" His voice turned more threatening. "Now you just gave me another reason to break your teeth and make you cry." He threw his duffle bag to the ground, and cracked his knuckles as he walked towards the bandit group.
"Really? Are you gonna risk your life to face all of us like a hero?" The leader laughed mockingly, before he turned to his partner. "Hey, can you get rid of him while we finish with the rest of the houses?" He walked to his men, leaving the big man alone with Daikon.
He grinned wickedly as he walked towards the young man. "With all my pleasure."
The two men approached each other, meaning the showdown is about to begin. Some of the villagers who didn't leave the place, were watching apprehensively, not only because there will be a bloodshell, the man who Daikon is going to fight with is the most fearsome criminal that no one would venture to challenge him. When Daikon and the bandit was now closer, the bald man was the first to attack by gripping the handle of his hammer and swung it downwards. Daikon didn't even attempt to dodge, instead he launched his fist directly in the hammer's face with a shout.
The hammer and the fist collided and they both did not move after their attack made contact. Next, everything went silent, while everyone, including the giant bandit went taken aback that Daikon's hand could endure with that heavy object. But suddenly, it heard a crack sound before the lines started to show up all over the hammer, and then it got shattered into pieces.
"W-What?!" The bald man was in shock to see his powerful weapon was destroyed with just one punch.
Daikon smirked at the reaction, before he made a jump and roundhouse kicked in the bandit's face, making him spit out. The unarmed bandit stumbled back as the dizziness left him in a vulnerable position to defend himself, and before he would regain his consciousness, Daikon attacked him again by launching an uppercut to his chin, breaking some of his teeth as the result. The big bald man was thrown back and hit his back to the ground, now fully knocked out.
The bandits and the leader went into shock after they saw their strong associate was defeated. The villagers were also dumbfounded how it turned out, but then they started to feel the hope, as if someone or something have heard their appeals at this moment and send a warrior to fulfill their distress call.
The leader looked at the unconscious partner, before he turned to Daikon, without saying a word.
"Tell me, the reason you sent that big guy against me was because you are already afraid what I just said?" Daikon began to taunt at the leader, without removing the grin off his face. "I could swear that you're sweating and I don't think it's for the heat it's getting because of the fire."
Daikon wasn't wrong, a sweat drop was rolling down to his temple. The leader gritted his teeth in silent fury how Daikon was provoking him on purpose. He turned his head to his men, as he realized they looked unsure if they can fight against the young one. He noticed one of them took a step back.
"What are you guys still standing around? He's just one man, he doesn't stand a chance if we attack together! Get him!" The leader yelled, extending his arm towards Daikon with his finger pointing at him.
The bandits thought he was right, so without think twice they charged, raising their weapons and letting out a war cry. Daikon just stood still, letting them to surround him so he wouldn't have the chance to retreat. When the armed thugs were now closer, Daikon crossed his arms in the form x. In that moment, he started to growl and seemed very focus for some reason.
"HAAAA!" He raised his arms to his sides, creating a sort of invisible shock wave that pushed all the bandits around him. Some bandits crashed into the walls of the houses and knocked down the others as well.
After he was not surrounded anymore and his personal space was clear, one bandit tried to ambush him with a sword from behind. Daikon sensed that attack before he sidestepped and the sword flew down in front of his face. He kept dodging a few more slashes until he gripped the bandit's wrist and elbowed him in the face, stunning him. Afterwards, he punched to the torso a couple of times before he grabbed his head and kneed him in his jaw.
Daikon side kicked to another bandit from his left, sending him flying away. Suddenly, he eluded the spear thrust before he grabbed the shaft and broke it with his hand. The spearman dropped the weapon and tried to punch him, but Daikon caught his fist and counterattacked by punching into the stomach. The spearman gasped in pain as Daikon jabbed him a couple of times and finished him with another roundhouse kick.
A group of four charged towards Daikon as an attempt to outnumber him. Daikon raised his hands with his palms out to the group as his face grew concentrated, and suddenly two blue spheres of energy came out of both his hands. He then shot the glowing spheres at the bandits, creating a loud explosion that they just disappeared in a cloud of dust.
"He has powers too?!" He heard a bandit shouting in disbelief.
"Dammit, we can't fight in close combat! Archers!" Daikon snapped out before turning around and saw a dozen of them, formed in a line in front of him, armed with bows and crossbows, aiming the arrows towards him.
"Fire!" They released the barrage of arrows.
"Oh crap!" Daikon prepared himself to deflect them.
Only one thing he did not expect, is that a stream of fire just blew between where he was standing and the archers, burning the arrows into ashes before they could hit Daikon. He blinked in shock like he thought he hallucinated what he just saw, and before he would ask what just happened, he sensed another presence. But unlike the bandits and the villagers, this one has a higher power level. He turned to the right where the flames came from, and he spotted a cloaked man of average height, standing between an alley.
"W-Who are you?" Daikon couldn't help but express his surprise towards the stranger who supposedly helped him.
Daikon could see he responded with a wide grin that shows abnormal sharp canines, before he swiftly took off the cloak to reveal his full appearance. He was a young, apparently he has around the same age as Daikon, with a slightly tan tone and spiky pink-colored hair. He wears a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, left open and untucked, revealing his bare chest. A gold trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white-knee length trousers, a thick black wristband on his left wrist and black open-toed sandals. And he wears a scale-patterned white scarf around his neck.
However, Daikon noticed most of the bandits had their eyes widened in a mix of shock and horror, but without knowing that they're staring at some kind of a red tattoo which is located just below the pink haired young man's right shoulder.
"Aw shit, he's a wizard!" A bandit with a shaved head exclaimed with a hint of panic.
Daikon went stunned as he turned back to the pink haired stranger that he remained practically petrified. He couldn't believe that he would finally meet a wizard in just one day after leaving home, but he also never thought a young man could be one of them, and nearly stronger as him. That could explain why the bandits are now scared of him, after witnessing how he burned the barrage of arrows with his own fire. Daikon was now intrigued to learn what else he could do to scare them even more.
"What are you doing, you queers?! Just kill them both or I'm going to make sure you won't get out of this place alive!" The bandit leader was already pissed off that another defiant has joined the battle against him and his men are becoming disappointingly worthless.
The bandits didn't move back after hearing their leader's threat, though they no longer had the courage to attack in front. The only thing they're doing is staring at the wizard walking towards to Daikon, as he wore an amazed expression with his mouth agape.
"Hey man, you're okay? Those archers almost took you by surprise." The young wizard spoke to Daikon cheerfully.
The raven haired man blinked a couple of times at the wizard's greeting. "Um, yeah, I'm fine. I could've dodged the arrows, but thanks for your help." Daikon responded, though puzzled why the wizard's not serious about what's going on here.
"Just thought you would need a hand. Wouldn't you mind if I can take all these bad guys?" The wizard said as he looked over the bandits with a grin, making them flinch in fear.
Daikon raised his eyebrow in doubtfulness. "Are you sure about that? I think it would be better if we can do this together." He suggested, not satisfied after he just got into the fight.
"Good point, but that won't be necessary." The wizard replied with confidence. "They're not much of a threat to me, so I'll finish with them with no problem."
Daikon's face grew thoughtful, still a little bit unsure if he should do what the wizard says, but then he realized this could be a great opportunity to finally witness, for the first time ever, how a wizard can do in combat with the help of the "Magic" he always heard about once it for all. Though it's such a disappointment he just has to stay still and watch, and he just tested one of his techniques. Feeling there's no way he could change his mind, Daikon let out a sigh.
"Alright then, they're all yours." He answered reluctantly, crossing his arms like he's now waiting to see what the wizard will do to impress him.
The pink haired wizard's toothy grin widened, before he walked towards the bandits as he cracked his knuckles. They started to sweat even more, and with their leader forcing them to fight against the wizard, it's now a dead end.
"S-stay away from us!" One of the archers tried to stop him by shooting an arrow.
The tip of the arrow was about to pierce between the wizard's eyes, but then he whipped his head around as he stopped abruptly. After that, he turned his head back, showing he caught the arrow with his gritted teeth. He didn't even wear off the smile before he snapped the shaft in two.
"Oh, I think you just made a big mistake." The wizard said directly to the archer, who was now trembling uncontrollably after immediately regretting for what he have done.
"And also every one of you for trying of taking down this village. Now prepare to feel the burning sensation you're about to get! But first!" He looked around at the buildings engulfed in flames before his mind just got an idea. He arched his back while spreading his legs and his arms lifted to shoulder height, before he started to suck the polluted air by the black smoke into his lungs.
Daikon watched with a bewildered expression, having the doubt if the wizard's is making a technique. But suddenly, he noticed that the flames was being drawn out from the entire village, but the fire wasn't even extinguished. Then, his reaction quickly changed into stupefy when he saw the fire was going into to the wizard's mouth, not even suffering the likely horrible burn inside as a result.
In a few words, the wizard was literally eating it.
The inhabitants were even more dumbstruck that they'd thought this is some kind of a miracle. As for the bandits, they were now on the verge of pissing their pants and couldn't even attempt to avoid what he's doing.
What was left of the fire was has gone, also saving the entire village from being burned to the ground. After that, the wizard let out a sigh of satisfaction after fulfilling his stomach, as the trails of smoke were coming out through his teeth.
"Thank you for the meal you prepared for me by the way! Now I'm all fired up!" He shouted with enthusiasm, bumping his knuckles each other, when a flaming circle with a symbol of a head of a dragon appeared in the front, which just gained Daikon's attention.
"RUN!" The bandits finally decided to sound the retreat against their leader's order to stand still. But it was too late to escape.
The wizard breathed so deeply that his cheeks puffed out, as he placed his clenched hands in front of his mouth.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
He spat out a huge torrent of flames that engulfed all across his path, before it reached to the whole bandit group as dozens of screams rang out. The wizard stopped spreading the fire before It took a brief moment before the cloud of dust cleared away, the bandits lay on the ground, all of them unconscious with their bodies roasted with black, their clothes burnt and their weapons completely destroyed by the blaze. Since then, everything was already quiet, when the civilians felt it was now safe to come out from hiding now that the fight was over.
"Holy crap..." Daikon could only express with two words. But before he'd begun to compliment the wizard, he noticed something that seems a little bit off. "Wait... There's only one left!" He realized the bandit leader was not among his fallen men.
"What?! How could someone managed to get away from my attack?!" The wizard asked angrily.
"That coward surely ran away before that!" Daikon answered, also a little upset that the despicable leader could be so fortunate, though gutless, to escape from the karma. "He can't be that far! I know he's still here!" He said when he could still feel his presence.
"Me too, I can smell him!" The wizard replied as he sniffed.
Daikon didn't need to make a question. But before they'd try to track the bandit leader down, they both heard a neigh that just came from a small stable intact, and suddenly the main door burst open. A bay horse sprung out from there when the rider turned out to be the bandit leader. Now he rode in flight to his way into the forest.
"Dammit, he's getting away!" The pink haired wizard growled.
"Don't worry, he won't escape that easily." Daikon grinned.
Before the wizard would ask, Daikon jumped up and flew across the forest from above, missing the shocked reaction from the wizard's face. He looked down and narrowed his eyes, trying to peer through the trees, until he spotted a silhouette of that man and the horse. Daikon thought he could launch a power beam to stop him, but then he came up with a better idea which made him smirk.
The bandit leader looked behind, thinking he managed to get away from the flying young man and the wizard in the village after he sneaked to the stable. He didn't care what happened to his men, he knew exactly that they'll be beaten, that's why he sneaked all his way to the stable while those two brats were distracted. But as he thought he was finally safe, as he turned his head to focus on the road, his path was suddenly blocked in the blink of an eye by Daikon. Eventually, the horse got startled before rearing and the rider fell backwards off the saddle. Then, the stallion raced in the opposite direction as it was meant to go back the village.
The last gangster groaned as he sat up, and when his sight become clearly, he gasped in horror when he saw Daikon, floating with his arms crossed.
"Mind if I ask where are you going?" He said with a grin, as he landed on the ground.
The bandit leader only gulped, and without warning, he stood up briskly and tried to flee, but Daikon was fast enough to grab the back of his collar. And before the bandit realizes, Daikon rose back into the sky with him. The outlaw man screamed as he watched how far he's being sent away from the ground, before Daikon stopped at the same height where he can still see the village from up here.
"Wait! Please don't do this! I beg you!" The gutless bandit pleaded, trying to not look down when he's now terrified by the thought Daikon would make him fall to death in the midair. Not to mention he's afraid of the heights.
"You really think I'd forgive you after you and your men have done to this innocent and small village you were trying to destroy it?" He pointed to the settlement, now without the fire as moments ago. "I think this is what you deserve for doing such a thing."
He has no intention to take a man's life, though he intended to put fear on the bandit by threatening him, just as a warning to not make him forget.
"No! I-I won't do this again! I'm done being a criminal! You just took down all of my men! W-Well, actually it was the wizard. But now I can't restore my group and I'll quit! I'm not lying to you!"
Daikon frowned, he still wasn't convinced the man just expressed his remorse. He learned that sometimes people just use the excuses to hide their guilty and avoid being punished.
"Do you promise? I'm giving the one and last chance, and if you're gonna waste it..." Daikon trailed off to make the bandit get the answer.
"Yes! I swear it! Now please let me go!"
Daikon knew what comes next, he let the criminal go, tell him he doesn't want to see him ever again and then they separate to mind their own business. However, there's a slight possibility that this bandit is going to make trouble again. He's not even young to begin with, otherwise Daikon would believe his words. Therefore, Daikon though he should do something drastic so the bandit will keep his word, until he got a crazy idea.
"Alrightly then. I let you go." He replied with a smile.
The gang leader's eyes widened when he realized what Daikon actually meant. "NO, WAIT A MINUTE!"
Daikon released the bandit from his grip, letting him descend back to the forest while he spends all the air from his lungs to keep screaming and spun around like a rag doll that he began to feel dizzy. The bandit shut his eyes when he was now blind with fear and panic as his heart beat like a drum roll. As he didn't want to think how painful will be to crash into the ground, he felt suddenly grabbed him by one of his ankles before his body remained motionless. The bandit cracked his eyes open and gasped when he saw he was by inches from the ground, for one second and he was going to the afterlife but in the most horrible way.
Daikon was the one who avoided that after he deliberately gave the bandit a one hell of a scare.
"Sorry about that, I forgot I had to get down before letting you go." Daikon said jokingly. "But seriously, you better stay out of trouble if you don't want me to look out for you. Do you understand?"
The bandit didn't respond, nor even move, which Daikon raised his eyebrow. He tilted his head to look into his face, before realizing he just fell unconscious.
"Oh, he passed out. Didn't see that coming." Daikon shrugged. "Guess he just got the message." He dropped the gang leader to the ground, before he soared into the air and headed his way back to the village.
The moment he got in there, he was greeted by the remaining civilians who cheered at his return, as they gave him their gratefulness and asked how can they repay him. Daikon of course, kindly rejected the reward, convincing them that what he did was his decision and told they shouldn't worry about the last bandit who escaped. As he was strolling, he watched most of the buildings are already burnt because of the fire, wondering if the people can be able to repair the damages. Suddenly, he just remembered the wizard was here, so he hurried to the exact spot where the wizard was last seen.
Eventually, and luckily, he found the pink haired young man standing in front of the bandits, all of them tied up in groups, including the big bald man who was still out of commission.
"Hey there!" Daikon called out with a wave.
The wizard snapped his attention away from the bandits as he turned his head to Daikon.
"Hey, what did you do to him?" He asked when he noticed the bandit leader was not with him as he thought.
"I let him go, I think he just learned his lesson." Daikon replied.
"Seriously? I would totally kick his ass for trying to fool us if my partner was here." The wizard complained as he crossed his arms.
"Your partner?" Daikon said with curiosity.
"Natsu!"
They both heard a childish-like voice, before turning around and what they saw approaching was a small blue cat, literally flying towards them with its pair of white, feathered, angel-like wings. The cat has a white stomach, a rectangular head with pink ears, light blue cheek marks near to its tiny whiskers. A long white-tipped tail and triangular nose that leads to his semi round upper lips. And he was carrying a green backpack with the straps tied in a bow around its neck.
"Oh, thank goodness I found you! For a moment I thought I'd lost you forever!" The cat exclaimed in relief.
"Happy, where have you been? You just missed the whole spectacle when I eat the fire off the village and dealt those punks with my Fire Dragon's Roar!" The pink haired young man pointed at the unconscious gang members.
"I'm sorry I stayed behind, Natsu. But I was so distracted when I found a lake with fishes. They looked so delicious~" The blue flying cat purred with a trail of saliva rolling down on the corner of his mouth.
"A talking cat… With wings?" Daikon muttered in shock, pointing his index finger at the blue cat.
Happy snapped out from his fantasy with the fishes when he heard Daikon's statement which somewhat made him feel offended. "Excuse you, sir! Even though I would look like a rare animal, doesn't mean you should look at me as a freak! I have feelings too, you know!" The cat came closer to Daikon face to face, making the young stranger back away.
"Oh, I- I'm sorry. It's just I've never seen one of your kind before." He explained apologetically, as he chuckled awkwardly.
"It's okay. He really is kind of a weird creature after all. But still, I treat him as a best friend. Right, buddy?" Natsu grinned at his partner.
"Aye sir!" Happy cheerfully answered.
Daikon couldn't help but smile to watch that kind of friendship they have. Nevertheless, he was still surprised to see a peculiar pet with the capacity of speaking the human language and have wings to fly. He started to feel like an explorer for finding an incredible animal, way too different than the common creatures he know in the nature.
"By the way, I think we should introduce ourselves. I'm Natsu, and this is my partner, Happy!" He pointed to the blue cat.
"Hi there, nice to meet you!" Happy introduced himself by raising his paw.
Daikon smiled in response. "Daikon, pleased to meet you. Glad I'd find a friendly face around here. Especially a wizard with such amazing powers." He addressed to Natsu. "The way you burned the barrage of arrows, and how you saved the village by eating the fire and spitting it. you impressed me. I can't tell you nothing more that I'm very impressed."
Natsu blinked at his compliment. "Are you kidding me? What you did was even more amazing! I've never thought you could stand against those jerks with punches and kicks, and that power beam you launched was the awesomeness thing I have ever seen!" He said with great emotion
"Wait, I thought you said you were the one who took care of those bandits." Happy replied in confusion.
"Not all of them." Natsu corrected. "You should have seen him, Happy! Just when I reached the village, I saw he was completely surrounded by those bandits! I tried to save him when they attack him, but what I did not expect is that somehow he managed to push everyone with no effort! And then he started to beat them one by one! Even he can fly, Happy! I saw him raising in the sky with my own eyes!"
Happy's jaw fell down as he wore a shocked expression, like he always thought he's the only one who can fly.
"Really?! Are you not joking?" The blue cat turned at Daikon. "Tell me he's not just messing with me!" He began to lose control of himself, very uncertain whether if he can believe that story or not.
Daikon chuckled at Happy's reaction. "Nope, he's telling the truth, my little friend." He said. Though he was kinda surprised because he didn't know Natsu watched him fighting against the bandits before he decided to step into the fight.
"Our friends aren't gonna believe us when we get back!" Natsu said excitedly to his partner. When suddenly an interesting thought just came up in his mind. "Hey, I got a great idea, why don't you come with us to Fairy Tail?" He asked to Daikon with an optimistic smile.
"Fairy Tail?" The black haired outsider raised an eyebrow the puzzle. "Never heard about that name before."
"You're not from around here, aren't you?" Happy inquired, as Daikon shook his head to answer the question. "Well, it's a guild where we belong. All the members are wizards just like Natsu. And all of them are friendlies as well." He said cheerfully.
"I'm sure you're welcome in there, even though you don't look like one of us. I'm interested to know about you and your powers, if you don't mind." Natsu said.
"But Natsu, what if he has no time for that? Don't get me wrong, I also want to know, but we don't have to force him if he needs to go somewhere." Happy explained.
"Actually... I don't have a anywhere to go." Daikon replied with a sheepish laugh, feeling himself like a homeless after giving them that answer. "I was just wandering by, hoping I could find a town and a shelter. You guys were going somewhere, by any chance?"
"Yeah, we were on our way to Magnolia after we finished a quest, until I smelled something was burning in the forest and that's how I got here." Natsu said. "But you can come with us! That's where our guild is and it's not even too far from here. And we can help you to find a place to stay."
"Well..." Daikon rubbed his chin as he took a moment to think.
It's kinda unusual a person would do that kind of offer after they just know each other in a battle. He would say that's sound suspicious, but after Happy introduced himself as Natsu's friend, and the fact that he's a friendly talking cat, he thought the wizard can be trustworthy. Plus that he just promised to search a possible dwelling he should need. Therefore Daikon didn't find what sort of problem accompanying the wizard to meet his friends. In fact, he just got interested to find more mages from the group called the Fairy Tail.
"Oh, why would I say no? I'll go with you!" He answered with the smile spread across his face, as he picked up the duffle bag he left it on the ground.
His answer made Natsu even more delighted. He stepped forward towards Daikon and gave him a pat on his shoulder. "I'm glad to hear that! Then we should get going then!"
Without the need of wait, Daikon, Happy and Natsu set off the village on foot as they bid farewell to the villagers. During their travel throughout the forest, Daikon was reflecting that today turned out with full of surprises than he could ever expect. To accomplish his goal in such little time, maybe he was granted by the luck per se or was just a mere series of coincidences. Even so, his journey was just getting started, and probably more surprises awaits him.
And that was my first chapter of this crossover! I hope you really enjoyed the introduction of the story, my character and everything.
Now I want to tell you a few more things in case you are asking questions about my fanfic:
Daikon is the reference of a Japanese radish, a vegetable. I guess you know what does that mean right? Anyways, while his name is from a vegetable, it kinda sounds like a guy's name, and I don't see a reason why he would have another name to hide his real identity.
No, Daikon won't be a Gary Stu, you must understand why he managed to defeat the bandits easily. Well, not all of them when Natsu appeared and gave him a hand. But I can assure you that there will be more opponents who they will not be easy to defeat, despite he can be stronger and perform powerful techniques with the Ki. Otherwise this story will be boring until you'll have no reason to keep reading.
Speaking of which, I'm planning to make the Fairy Tail characters knows and learn about the Ki. In Dragon Ball universe every life being has the energy, so since my fanfic is a crossover, I want to give them that power so Daikon wouldn't be the ONLY one to just solve everyone's problems like Goku.
And I'm sorry if the beginning was kinda rushed, weak or something. One of my biggest problems of writing a new story is trying to come up the prologue, this one was the best I could come up with.
One more thing. I want to dedicate this fanfic to one of my best friends. His father sadly passed away in April 21st of 2016 and I know how much it hurts. My friend, if you're reading this, I want to let you know I'm here for you and your family in painful moments, even though we live in different countries. I know you are strong and you know he's still in your heart. Please take care.
I also want to dedicate to the famous and best singer, Prince. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't hear any of his songs but I know why he was famous and everyone loved him. I know it was very sad for you guys, but you have to know that legends NEVER die.
Well, I'll see you on the next chapter. Have a good weekend.
