I just want to make a quick point before I start this story... Lucy will NOT be a Damsel in Distress in this story! So don't complain when I don't make her weak like she is at times in the manga. If that's what you expect then I'm sorry!

Leave a review if you like what you've read and want it to continue!

BTW, I don't own the Dragon Ball Franchise or the Fairy Tail Franchise so I'll give credit to the owners for their wonderful works. Thanks you Akira Toriyama and Hiro Mashima.

Dragon's Child

By The Bay Man

Chapter 1

Earthland...

Death and destruction was all the Demon E.N.D. bought to the world!... He drew no lines between friend and enemy and reigned destruction upon all who opposed him and it all started with one little act - the killing of his older brother Zeref. ...For most members of Fairy Tail, their deaths were instantaneous, while others lasted a few hours after the Demon E.N.D. unleashed his vast power reserves and all but wiped out the map of Fiore. The last few survivors were not only out matched, they were also powerless against the raging Demon who was now restoring the lives of those he had destroyed but they were only mere fragments of what they once were... They had become Demons as-well!

The last few survivors took refuge in an abandoned cave underneath the remains of the town of Crocus where the once mighty Grand Magic Games used to be held - the joy and comradery that the old arena had bought them was now replaced with despair but it was their new home and their leader was Lucy. Somehow she had managed to survive the initial blast by holding up inside Horologium along with a wounded Mavis Vermilion and a little black Exceed named Panther Lily! ...But that was two weeks ago!

Lucy sat with her back resting against a large rib-bone from a long forgotten dragon, contemplating her next move when she was suddenly jolted from her thoughts by a screaming black cat, who was yelling for her to hurry over. Lucy jumped up and ran towards the desperate voice only to find Mavis gasping for air. A small trickle of blood seeped from her left ear as she coughed up more blood. Her wounds were grave as they had become infected only days after they arrived and Lucy knew there was nothing she could do for the First Master as all their healers were now gone. Virgo tended to Mavis' wounds as best she could but it was only a temporary measure and the look on Virgo's face as she disappeared a few days ago told her to expect the worse.

"Miss Lucy!..." Lily whispered as he hovered over their guild's patriarch. "...First wishes to speak with y..." He stopped as the pale blonde on the ground motioned for Lucy to come nearer, her voice was reduced to a mere whisper days ago. In her weakened state she could barely move a muscle let alone speak freely.

Lucy kneeled down and leaned in close till her ear was all-but resting on Mavis' lips and she listened intently as the blonde spoke. A moment later the small woman on the ground gasped for her last breath and everything went quiet... Mavis Vermilion, the patriarch and founding member of Fairy Tail was now gone!

Lucy fell to the ground and screamed in pain as tears ran down her face... She had witnessed this same scene play out so many times since the war with Alvarez had started and now it was only her and Lily that remained. Lily was about to speak when the body of Mavis slowly started to disintegrate and disappeared leaving nothing but a small pulsating heart-shaped gem laying in her wake.

"Is that!?..." Lily asked as he looked down at the pulsating red gem and his eyes widened when Lucy nodded and picked it up.

"Y-Yes!... It's the source of Fairy Tails three great magic's!..." Lucy clasped the gem between her palms, held it close to her heart and smiled through her tears. "...It also holds a piece of magic from every mage that has ever worn the Fairy Tail emblem!... It's what Zeref was after, it's the Fairy He..."

"Fairy Heart!" Lily exclaimed as he watched Lucy slowly open her hands and the gem began to pulse brighter and brighter until it became a blinding red light that forced both Lily and Lucy to close their eyes tightly. While their eyes were closed, Lily heard a small gasp and a faint moan and then the light disappeared. When he opened his eyes again the gem was gone and the red glow that it had earlier now radiated from Lucy. Her hair was standing up straight as if she had received a shock from the Lightning Dragon Slayer himself and her brown eyes glowed a deep red, all-the-while Lucy was mumbling something in a language Lily had never heard before.

When the glow finally subsided, Lucy closed her eyes and opened them again and the familiar brown hue returned and she smiled. Lily could feel a warm comforting feeling wash over him - it was almost motherly in nature the feeling that emanated from Lucy! It was as if she was Gajeel, Levy, Master, 'no' that wasn't it! ...He could feel the presence of all his fallen comrades from her, it felt like 'home' to be more precise! ...It felt good and he smiled for the first time in months.

Lucy smiled down at her friend and slowly pulled Lily into her warm embrace, reassuring the small Exceed that everything would be alright. After a few moments she stood up and took one last look around before she headed for the exit.

"Let's go Lily!" She said as she walked out of the cave. ...As they exited the cave she quickly shaded her eyes with her free hand as the sun's bright rays momentarily blinded the two mages.

"Where to Miss Lucy!" Lily asked as he nuzzled into her chest. He felt warm and content and he could now understand why Happy liked being held this way. She felt like a mother during these types of moments and he felt like everything was once again right with the world.

"Tenrou!" Lucy said as she closed her eyes briefly and a picture of Jet crossed her mind. A moment later she disappeared leaving a cloud of dust in her wake.

Two Weeks Later...

After several run-ins with E.N.D.'s Demons and a near miss by E.N.D. himself, they had finally made it to the Port of Hargeon. The amount of devastation was beyond what Lucy and Lily had expected, it was on the scale of apocalyptical... Town by town there was nothing left standing - no buildings, no roads but the real eerie thing was the absence of life!

"When E.N.D. said, "he would destroy everything", he wasn't kidding around!" Lucy sighed as she looked around the harbour in an effort to find a usable boat but found nothing but debris and sunken ships everywhere. "Damn it!" She growled as she took her frustrations out on an orange buoy floating several hundred feet away. Her thoughts drifted to the demon Mira and a small black ball of energy formed in her hand and she whispered,"Soul Extinctor!" and a moment later the buoy was no-more.

"Lucy!" Lily growled as he looked around fearing there may have been demons lurking around. Over the past month the two had slowly formed a close bond, one that they would agree went beyond friendship and teetered on family. ...And after many days of begging on Lucy's part, Lily had finally dropped his guard and relaxed around the blonde, deciding to just call her Lucy!

"Don't worry Lily, we're alone!..." Lucy exclaimed as she pointed to a spot out over the horizon. "There!... About four and a half miles that way!"

"Got it!" Lily said as he grabbed on to Lucy and took off towards Tenrou Island.

"Hey I could have flown out there using Mira or Freed's flight modes!" Lucy said as she groaned and slowly resigned herself to being carried by her friend.

"Your as light as a feather - besides I carried Gaje..." Lily sighed and went silent as tears now clouded his eyes. He sniffled as he thought of his missing friend.

"I'm sorry Lily..." Lucy softly said as she reached into her pocket of space, all thanks to Erza's unique ability and pulled out a small white handkerchief and wiped the tears from Lily's face. "...I-I miss them too!" Lily nodded and groaned a low 'thank you!' but kept flying.

After a long silent thirty minutes they reached Tenrou Island and landed just feet away from Mavis Vermilion's grave site. Even though her body wasn't entombed there, they both somehow felt a small connection to the site.

"Do you think this will work?" Lily asked as he watched Lucy bend down and run her hand along the edge of the right front pillar. She stopped and gave him a small smile when she found what she was seeking - a small recessed button! She pushed it and the four corner pillars sank into the ground and a white light emanated from the hole between the two main pillars of the monument. A few seconds later the two pillars slid apart, revealing a pathway to a swirling dark gateway!

"So that's the Dragon's Gate?" Lucy mumbled as she nervously walked through the two large pillars and continued down the grassy path towards the swirling gate at its end. She was followed closely by Lily, who had changed into his larger form as was his normal pattern when he didn't know what was coming next. With sword in hand his gaze never left the gate before him. He would protect his only friend, his family as he had done countless times over the last few weeks. "Relax Lily, there's no danger here!... I hope!" Lucy mumbled to herself as she stopped just a foot away from the swirling gate.

"Y-You're not exactly instilling a whole lot of confidence within me!" Lily grinned as he nudged his friend.

'Ha... Ha... Ha... You're a comedian today, I see!" Lucy grinned as she took a deep breath and placed her right hand on the gate and it slowly entered. She felt a slight tingle but there was no pain or any monster to grab her hand from the other side and she relaxed. "...S-See nothing to be afraid off Lily!" She nervously laughed as Lily shook his head and grinned at the shaking girl.

"If you say so Lucy!" He laughed which garnered him a small hip check from the smirking mage.

"Now let me see if I can get this right..." Lucy took a long deep breath and held it for a second before slowly releasing it. With her mind clear and her nerves calmed she poured a small amount of magic into her Fairy Tail emblem on the other side of the Dragon's Gate and spoke the words that she had found buried deep within the subconscious of the previous Masters of Fairy Tail.

"C-Come forth, Draco! And grant my wish!" Lucy said with a slight stutter but quickly corrected herself. A few moments passed and with no change in the gate she repeated the phrase and yet, still nothing! After about five minutes of continued attempts at summoning the Dragon Draco, Lucy was now furious and yelling at the gate before her. Lily blushed as she swore like a sailor but they both cringed when they heard a deep voice laugh behind them...

...Whipping their heads around they came face to snout with a large gold and white dragon who at this point was about to loose it after watching the blonde yell at the Gate for the last five minutes.

"Ahhhh!... The look on your face is priceless!" Draco laughed as he pulled back a little and looked the pair up and down.

"H-How long have you been there?" Lucy asked as she removed her hand from the gate and turned around to face the massive Dragon before them.

"Hmmm!..." Draco tapped his chin with his claw and grinned. "...About a second after you first summoned me!"

"WHAT!" Lucy and Lily screamed at the same time.

"You got a little anger issue there I see!" Draco laughed.

"I-I do not!" Lucy growled back at the large Dragon.

"Do too!"

"DO NOT!" She yelled back.

"Okay you win... No anger problems at all!" Lily shook his head at the Dragon who seemed to be enjoying himself at his friend's expense.

"See I told you!" Lucy huffed as she folded her arms across her chest and pouted.

"Okay playtime is over!... What do you wish for?" His earlier jovial de-meaner was now replaced by a more serious expression.

"I wish for Natsu to never have become the Demon E.N.D.!" Lucy said with a serious tone in her voice. Draco closed his eyes and thought for a moment and then opened them and glared down at the two mages in front of him.

"Sorry, but I can't grant that wish!"

"W-Why not?" Lucy nervously questioned the Celestial Dragon.

"It would alter the time-line too much!... Try again!"

"H-How would it alter the time-line?" She asked as she turned to Lily who only shrugged as he never once took his eyes of the large Dragon.

"I WILL NOT PLAY TWENTY QUESTIONS WITH YOU!..." He roared. The hair on Lily's neck stood on end and Lucy stepped to the side in an attempt to hide behind the shaking Exceed. "WHAT IS YOUR WISH?"

"I-I... Ah!... C-Can you bring back those that were destroyed by the Demon, E.N.D.!"

Draco closed his eyes again and sighed... 'This is getting old!' He thought as he opened his eyes and shook his head again.

"I can not grant that wish either!" Lucy sighed. "Try again!"

"Well!... Can you send us to the past?... Surely you can do that much! I know it's possible as I met my future self a few years ago!"

"Nope!... Can't do that either!" Draco grinned and spoke again. "Find another Eclipse Gate and do it yourself!"

"You're not very helpful are you!?" Lucy stepped forward and glared up at the Dragon. Her fear of him was slowly disappearing and common sense was being tossed out the window as she became braver and braver.

"Look child, I hate to break it to you but the fate of this world is sealed and cannot be broken!..." He shook his head slightly as he dreaded telling her and her companion of the fate that awaited this world. "...This world is doomed and no amount of magic or wishful thinking can change that. Hell has been unleashed and it will run its course - so choose another wish or I will make it for you!"

"W-What do you mean it can't be changed!..." Lucy stood there her will and hope for a better future crushed by an overgrown lizard. "That can't be!... There must be somethin..."

"Nothing!" Draco said as he cut the blonde off. He hated to be the one to break the bad news to the small female but that was his duty and it was what he'd promised the Spirit King when he agreed to send her to another world. This whole elaborate rouse of a 'wish' was concocted to protect the child favoured by the Celestial King and the Dragons. He reached forward and grabbed the two mages in his massive claw and pushed the two through the Dragon Gate "Live and be happy my little Dragon!" He roared as he released the mages and closed the gate.

He looked up to the sky and growled... "I leave them in your care Shenron!" The sky clouded over and a bolt of lightning struck
Mavis Vermilion's grave destroying the structure and the Dragon's Gate.

Draco grinned and disappeared...

Next chapter Lucy and Lily will find themselves in the thick of things and 'NO' Lucy is not a Dragon, she just has the Fairy Heart gem! ...I'll leave it at that! LOL

Let me know what you think and I'll see you soon!
