Makoto was experiencing a serious case of deja vu right now. First he got locked up in a school with no idea of how he got there. Now he woke up in a forest with no idea how he got there. He was also wondering where his friends were.
"Hello is anyone there. I think I'm lost" Makoto yelled out only to get no answer. He decided that staying in the forest wasn't going to do anything and that he should try to look for his own way out. He walked through the forest for what felt like a good while until he came across a old man. He also felt something from inside the man that he didn't know how to describe. The only way for him to describe it was that it was a little overwhelming.
"Oh hello you seem to have gotten yourself lost" said the old man. Makoto windered why the man was dressed so strangely, almost like a jester.
"Yes I am lost. Where are we right now. Are we still in Tokyo" Makoto asked the man. The old man was confused as to what he meant.
"I'm sorry child but I've never heard of a place known as Tokyo before. And to answer your other question we are currently in the forest of the town known as Magnolia in the country of Fiore" said the old man. Makoto had never heard of a town or country like that before.
"I'm sorry but I don't know those places mister uh what's your name" asked Makoto.
"Oh I am master Makarov of the Fairy Tail guild" said Makarov.
"My name is Makoto Naegi and what's a guild" asked Makoto. Makarov was shocked the Makoto didn't know what a guild was.
"You don't know what a guild is" asked Makarov with and shocked tone of voice. Makoto shook his head in reply.
"Well then since you appear to be lost how about you come to my guild" asked Makarov. Makoto was hesitant, but could see that Makarov's words were genuine so he went along with him.
"Alright I'll go with you. Besides it's not really like I know where I am anyways" said Makoto. Makarov led the way and the two walked through the forest. On the way there Makarov explained what a guild was and how they treated each other like family, but accidentally forgot to tell him about magic. Makoto began to think of his family with his parents and his brothers and sister. He zoned out after a while, but noticed that they entered a medieval looking town.
"Wow is this Magnolia" asked Makoto with shock and wonder in his eyes. When he saw this town he began to think that Junko was just lying about the world and the tragedy. They continued to walk along the stone path a little more and they eventually stopped.
"Yes and that over there is the Fairy Tail guild hall" said Makarov pointing at a big building with the words Fairy Tail written on a sign. Makoto was confused as to why the name was spelled the way it was.
"Um I don't mean to be rude, but have you noticed that the tale in Fairy Tail is spelled wrong" asked Makoto. Makarov smiled and began to get flashbacks from when a certain dragon slayer first joined.
"Oh no that's on purpose. The reason for that name is because nobody knows if fairy's have tails, or if they even exist. So it is a unknown mystery, unless someone wants to find out, which could become an exciting adventure, and our members would be the ones who would want to find out" said Makarov.
"Wow that's awesome" said Makoto. He could feel the positive energy the guild hall was emitting. It made him feel hopeful that maybe his situation wasn't the worst in the world.
"Yes it's pretty great isn't it. Well then let's go inside Makoto I want to learn about where you come from" said Makarov. Makoto followed him into the guild and saw that there was a massive fight taking place inside.
"Ugh those fools are going overboard again" said Makarov with a annoyed tone of voice. Makoto was shocked to see someone with his whole right arm turned to stone.
"Master Makarov how is he doing that" asked Makoto with shock in his face and voice.
"Oh that is Take-Over magic" explained Makarov as he walked towards the center of the fighting. The next second Makoto saw him turn into a giant black monster. To say Makoto was shocked was a massive understatement.
"Would you fools stop bickering like little children" said Makarov in a deep voice. The entire guild hall went sitlent as they heard Makarov's booming voice. All Makoto could do was watch with his jaw wide open and his eyes the size of dinner plates.
"Oh my god he's huge" Makoto heard a blonde girl say.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were still here master" said a white haired girl. What shocked Makoto the most about here was that she didn't look afraid of the master or his tall appearance at all.
"WAIT DID YOU JUST CALL HIM MASTER" the blonde girl yelled in surprise. Makoto then saw a pink haired guy with standing tall with a proud expression on his face. Makoto could tell that this was about to bad for him. Which was correct.
"Hahahahaha man talk about a bunch of babies. It looks like I won this round you g-" was all the pink haired guy said before he was squished by Makarov's giant foot.
"Quite down you numbskulls. Besides it seems we have two new recruits here" said Makarov staring at the blonde girl and Makoto.
"Yes sir" was the blonde girls reply. Makarov then began to shrink back down until he was back to his normal size, which shocked the blonde girl.
"Nice to meet ya" said Makarov as he greeted the blonde girl.
"He's so tiny. This little guys really in charge here" asked the blonde girl.
"Of course he is allow me to introduce the Fairy Tail guild master Makarov" said the blonde girl as if the whole thing was normal. Makarov then turned around tired to jump up to the railing on the second floor, but accidentally hit his head. He then straightened himself out and stood up on the rails. He pulled out a piece of paper and opened it.
"You've gone and done it again you bunch of clods. Just look at how much paper work the magic council sent me this time. This is the biggest pile of complaints yet. Have you brats lost your minds all you kids are good for us getting the higher ups mad at me. However, I say to hell with the magic council" said Makarov as he burned a bunch of papers and threw them to the side, which the pink haired guy from before jumped up and ate. Makoto didn't notice though because he was to busy listening to Makarov's speech.
"Now listen any power that surpasses reason still comes from reason right. Magic isn't some kind of miraculous power it is a talent that only works when the flow of energy inside us and the flow of energy in the natural world are in perfect synchronization. To preform magic one must have a strong mind and The ability to focus. It should take over your being and come pouring out of your soul. If we follow the rules then our magic will never progress. Don't let those blowhards on the magic council scare you. Follow the path you believe in, because that's what makes the Fairy Tail guild number one" said Makarov. Everyone cheered and threw their hands up making a L chair with their fingers. Makoto could tell that they loved being in here, and that they valued each other no matter how much fights they have.
"Wow that was such a beautiful speech" said the blonde girl. Makoto definitely agreed with her. He was so moved by that speech and began to think that maybe life wouldn't be as bad as he thought.
"Um excuse me I heard that you two are new members correct" the white haired girl asked Makoto and the blonde haired girl.
"Oh yeah my names Makoto Naegi it's nice to meet you" said Makoto.
"My name is Lucy it's such a honor to meet you" said Lucy.
"My name is Mirajane Strauss and since you guys are new members you'll need to get your guild marks" said Mira. Makoto began to get a weird feeling from Mira for some reason like how he did with Makarov before. Makoto was confused about what she meant by a guild mark. The three walked up to the bar up at the front of the guild.
"I can't wait to get the official mark of Fairy Tail put on me" said Lucy while fangirling. Makoto was still confused as to what the mark of a guild meant, but he wasn't exactly worried. He then saw Mirajane pick something up from the back of the bar that looked like something used to stamp things (I don't know what it's called).
"Okay Lucy so where do you want you me mark to go" asked Mirajane.
"I want it to go on my right hand" said Lucy. Mirajane took the stamp thing and put it in Lucy's hand. After it glowed it revealed a fairy looking mark on Lucy's hand. Afterwards Lucy ran off squealing towards a pink haired guy.
"So where do you want your mark to go Makoto" asked Mirajane. Makoto thought about it and chose to place it on his left shoulder. He took off his jacket and Mirajane his placed a orange mark on his arm.
"There you go Makoto you are now a official member of the Fairy Tail guild" said Mirajane. Makoto placed his jacket back on and walked over to Makarov.
"Um excuse me master I wanted to talk to you about something important" said Makoto.
"Alright then my boy lets go in my office to discuss this important issue" said Makarov as he led Makoto to his office. He closed the door and put some kind of runes up so no one could hear them.
"So what was it you wanted to speak to me about" asked Makarov.
"Well you see you might find this weird because it seems so common here, but I've never actually seen magic, actually where I'm from it doesn't actually exist. Most people don't even believe in magic" said Makoto. Makarov was shocked and confused to hear Makoto say that.
"You mean this Tokyo place you come from doesn't have any magic in it" asked Makarov.
"That's correct. I've also never heard of a guild or about any countries known as Fiore. I come from Japan" said Makoto.
"Also what do you mean you've never seen magic here before. The magic power your emitting is incredible" said Makarov.
"What do you mean magic power. I don't know what your referring to" said Makoto.
"The reason I was able to find you is because of your incredible magic power. It appeared out of nowhere while I was walking in the forest so I just assumed you were a mage. You mean to tell me that you have never seen or practiced magic before" asked Makarov. Makoto was shocked because he never thought he would be able to use magic, but if what Makarov is telling him is true then he probably can use it.
"No I've never used any magic before. Also do you recognize the name of my country Japan" asked Makoto.
"No I don't believe I have heard of a country with that name. Let me ask you a question Makoto" said Makarov. He came up with a theory and wanted to see if it was true.
"Okay go ahead" said Makoto.
"Have you ever heard of the planet Earthland" asked Makarov. He knew if Makoto answered his question the way he was expecting him to then that would prove the theory he had made about where the luckster came from.
"Um do you mean Earht because earth doesn't have the word land after it" said Makoto. At that moment Makarov knew that his theory was correct about the lucksters origins.
"It would appear that you are not from the same world as this one. That would explain why you have no idea about magic, or guild, or even the name of the country we're in right now" said Makarov. Makoto was shocked when he heard what Makarov said. He wanted to argue against it, but it was clear that all the evidence so far pointed to Makarov's theory being correct.
"So this isn't earth, it's some place called earthland. And in this world people use magic as a way to live. This is so much more different from my world" said Makoto.
"Yes I can only assume how confused you are. If you wouldn't mind telling me what you were doing before you came here I would like to know" said Makarov. Makoto looked hesitant at first, but realised that after Makarov had helped him it was only fair to tell him his story. So with that Makoto told Makarov everything about what happened to him, even the killing game and the tragedy. Makarov couldn't believe all the things he was hearing, but saw the sadnesss and pain in Makoto's face so he knew it was all true.
"My god the things you've seen are so horrible. I'm so sorry you had to witness all that" said Makarov.
"It's fine besides it's all over now so all I can do is move forward for my friends who couldn't" said Makoto. Makarov has seen a lot of strong people over the years, but none had shown the strength Makoto displayed.
"That is a noble thing to say my child. Now I would like it if you could come with me so we could find out what your magic is" said Makarov.
"Oh yeah of course I will. Besides I was also wondering what my magic was" said Makoto. Makarov took down the rune and they walked out of the office. They saw that the pink haired boy and Lucy had left and also noticed the hole in the board that read request board.
"Hey Nab do you know what happened to the board" asked Makarov.
"Natsu happened. Romeo came in here asking if someone could go get Macao from Mount Hakobe. You weren't here so he ran out and afterwards Natsu punched the board" said Nab. Makarov sighed.
"Of course Natsu would do that. You know how he gets when he's like this." said Makarov.
"Geez whens the guy ever gonna grow up" said another person from the guild.
"Yeah the only thing that's gonna do is hurt Macao's pride" said Nab.
"Well it is up to Natsu what he wants to do. Anyways come on Makoto we have to get going" said Makarov. Makoto nodded and they left the guild, leaving some of the members confused.
Forest
After walking out to the forest for a bit they eventually found a place with a clearing and no people or buildings around them.
"Okay so how do I do this master Makarov" asked Makoto. He really should have thought more about this before he came out here.
"Well you see Makoto I thought that maybe with some training we could unleash the dormant magic inside of you. You can learn another form of magic if you want, people can learn more than one type of magic. So while we're training you might want to consider looking for another magic that interests you" said Makarov. Makoto thought about it and it made sense to learn another form of magic. If he was going to be a wizard then he'd have to wait for his primary magic to awaken before he could use it.
"Alright then I guess I could learn another type of magic. So what are we going to be doing for the training part" asked Makoto.
"We'll be training on both your physical and mental strength. It is like I said before in order for magic to work the energy inside of us has to be in sync with the magic in the natural world. So while we are doing mostly physical training when we take breaks I will have you meditate and that will help you channel your magic power" said Makarov. Makoto nodded and the training began.
Three Hours Later
Pain and soreness. Those were the two things Makoto was feeling in his body. The training Makarov put him through was more grueling than even one of Sakura's training sessions. And that's saying something. After a while they decided to head back to the guild, and everyone could tell that Makoto's magic power was extremely high. Every turned their attention to Makoto and stared with wide eyes at his power.
"Um master why are they looking at me like that" asked Makoto.
"Well you see Makoto when you first came here I assumed that your magic power was at the current level it was at. But after your body got used to the magic inside you it appears that you were a lot stronger than I had first assumed" said Makarov. If he had to compare him to someone he would probably put him on a level just above Erza.
"So is that why everyone's looking at me like that" asked Makoto. Makarov nodded and ushered Makoto to follow him. Makarov opened a door and revealed a huge library with a huge collection of books.
"This is Fairy Tails library. Try looking for a new type of magic that you would like to learn in here" said Makarov. Makoto went down and looked around for a magic that he might like.
"Oh also one more thing Makoto. If anyone asks about your magic tell them you got it from an enchanted book and that you don't know what your magic it is yet" said Makarov. Makoto nodded and then he continued to look for a book that could tell him more about the magic he wanted to learn.
"There are so many different types magic's in here" said Makoto. He eventually found a book titled "the art of weaponry". Makoto was interested by the title and read a bit of it. It described different types of weapons and how to use them in combat. Makoto was amazed at the different uses for weapons.
"Wow these are actually pretty cool. I guess I should tell master I chose what I want to study" said Makoto. He took the book over to Makarov and and he examined it.
"So you want to learn how to use weapons huh. Well that should be simple enough to learn. You can also channel your magic through certain weapons. This type of magic is known as holder magic where you need a certain item to use it" said Makarov.
"There are different types of magic spells" Makoto asked.
"Yes there is holder magic like I just explained and caster magic. Caster magic is like using magic from your own body. For example that boy over there is Gray Fullbuster and he uses Ice-Make magic. It's a caster magic that allows the person to creat whatever they want out of ice" said Makarov.
"So you can either use magic from your body or from items you have is that correct" asked Makoto.
"Yes that is pretty much the short explanation on magic. Well then you should get to reading that book and learning about weapons. Tommorow I will take you to a blacksmith in town and have you pick a weapon you want. For now you should go to bed. There are some beds in the infirmary over there at the back fo the guild" said Makarov. Makoto nodded and went into the infirmary to continue reading. He learned a lot about weapons and the many different fighting styles and uses for those weapons.
"Which weapon should I chose. I kind of want a sword, but maybe I'll get a battle axe. A couple of daggers would be fine too. A glaive would be pretty cool too" said Makoto. Those four were the options that he wanted the most. He saw that it was getting late out since most of the members all went home so he decided to go to sleep and figure out which one he would want in the morning.
Morning
Makoto was still having nightmares about Hopes Peak. He could see his friends deaths and executions, even the ones who didn't commit any murders. He saw Sayaka be ripped in half by a bear trap, and Hina get eaten by sharks in a tank full of water. He managed to wake up after he saw Chihiro's execution. He was sweating and he felt like his heart was racing.
"Calm down Makoto it was just a dream. Most of those didn't happen" Makoto said to himself. He got up from the bed and went into the shower to wash the sweat off of him. After he failed to get the shower working for a few minutes he got out of the shower put on his clothes and walked to the bar.
"Hey Makoto how have you been" asked Mira. Makoto once again got that exact same feeling in his body when he got near Mira.
"Oh I'm fine. I was wondering where master went though. I was supposed to go with him somewhere" said Makoto.
"Oh right he said he was going to be waiting outside the blacksmith shop. It's straight ahead from the exist to the guild hall" said Mira. Makoto thanked Mira for the instructions and headed to meet master at the blacksmith.
"After a few minutes of walking Makoto saw Makarov standing outside a shop. He knew it was the shop because it was the only stone building here and it had smoke coming out of a big chimney.
"Ah there you Makoto I was wondering when you would arrive" said Makarov.
"Yeah sorry I took so long. I took a shower before I came here" said Makoto.
"It's fine so shall we go see about your new weapon" asked Makarov.
"Yeah I'm ready" said Makoto as they walked into the shop. They saw several different types of swords and battle axes on display along with a few other weapons. A man appears from behind the store and walked up to the counter.
"Hey master Makarov what brings you here " asked the man at the counter.
"Hello there Leonard we came here to buy a new recruit of mine here a weapon today" said Makarov.
"Well with that magic power of his he's going to need a strong weapon. Lucky for you I've got the perfect thing for you" said Leonard. They followed him to the back of the shop and he pulled out a purple sword along with a pair of daggers.
"These ought to do the trick. These daggers come with the sword as a added bonus. They channel lightning magic and increase it exponentially. Since your a lightning mage I figured you'd want to check these bad boys out" said Leonard. Makoto and Makarov were both surprised that he knew the type of magic he had since not even they knew.
"Wait how do you know what type of magic I use" asked Makoto.
"Well you see it's a trick I picked up from a passing mage. It's known as Insight magic. It allows people to see ether type of magic other people or items have and even tell their rarity. Your magic is a incredibly rare type of lightning magic. It might even be lost magic" said Leonard. Makoto was so relived to know what type of magic he had, and that it was apparently a powerful type.
"Well then I think these would be best what do you say Makoto" asked Makarov.
"Yeah these are great" said Makoto.
"Well then we'll be buying these Leonard" said Makarov. They went back to the front and purchased the weapons and left the store. They also purchased scabbards for the daggers and sword. Makoto placed the sword on his black and the daggers at his sides.
"So Makoto how do you like the weapons" asked Makarov.
"They feel great. I thought the sword would be a bit to heavy for me, but it's actually really light" said Makoto.
"Yes with your magic power it makes sense for the sword to weight so little" said Makarov. They walked back to the guild and everyone noticed the sword and daggers Makoto had.
"Wow It seems like someone's eager to get out and fight" said a brown haired girl drinking a whole barrel of alcohol. Natsu then walked up to Makoto along with a blue cat.
"Hey my names Natsu and this my partner Happy" said Natsu.
"Aye sir" said Happy.
"Wow a talking cat" said Makoto. He knew a lot of things were different in this world, but talking cats was not one of them.
"Yeah that's most people's reaction to first meeting Happy" said Natsu.
"Anyways that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to see how strong you are. Everyone's been telling me your stronger than Erza and they were right. So come on and fight me" said Natsu. Makarov squished Natsu with his enlarged arm.
"No Natsu not yet. Makoto got his magic from a enchanted book. All we know is that it's a rare form of lightning magic but that's it. So for now no fighting Makoto" said Makarov. Everyone was listening closely since they didn't know a lot about Makoto other than his name. They even knew more about Lucy and she joined the same time he did. A blue haired girl then walked up to Makoto.
"Wow so you got your magic from a book huh. I've heard stories about that happening, but I've never seen them. Oh and my names Levy by the way" said Levy.
"Well I'm Makoto and yes I got my magic from a book. The thing is I don't know what it is or how to use it so I've been trying to do things like training to bring it out. It's also why I have these weapons on me" said Makoto. The whole guild was talking amongst themselves about what type of lightning magic Makoto could possibly possess.
"Jeez he even uses weapons too. It's like a male version of Erza" said Gray.
"Um master who's this Erza everyone keeps talking about" asked Makoto.
"Oh she's the strongest female member" said Makarov.
"Yeah she's also super scary" said Happy. Makoto was confused as to why everyone was afield of her, at least from what he saw.
"Well anyways Makoto we should be going now. With enough training you might tap into your power soon enough" said Makarov.
"Aw man I wanted to fight him" said Natsu.
"Please falmebrain you've never beaten Erza and you expect to beat Makoto. He probably doesn't even magic to kick your ass" said Gray.
"What did you say ice princess" asked Natsu with a angry growl.
"I said your weak ash for brains" said Gray.
"Okay you know what stripper take this. FIRE DRAGON ROAR" said Natsu as he released a huge torrent of flames from his mout intending to hit Gray. However Gray dodged and everyone saw as the roar was on its way to hitting Makoto.
"Makoto look out" said Mira. Makoto turned around and saw the roar heading towards him. He couldn't do anything except take the spell, or at least that's what he thought.
"Lightning Devils Rage" Makoto heared a voice in his head say. On instinct he took a deep breath and yelled out the words.
"LIGHTNING DEVILS RAGE". Makoto released a huge swirling tornado of purple lightning. It hit the fire and easily destroyed it with almost no issue at all. Everyone had to look away from the sight because of all the dust it created, but when they turned around they saw Makoto with lightning surrounding him and black markings on the left side of his face, and possibly his whole body. His eye was also glowing a shade of purple as well.
"My god. He's a Devil Slayer" said Makarov with shock in his voice. He had heard of Devil and God slayers, but he never thought he'd meet one. Everyone in the guild was shocked to see the power Makoto had.
"Man screw a second Erza this guys a second Laxus" said a guy with purple hair.
"Yeah I mean he easily took down Natsu's spell with no work at all" said a guy with brown hair.
"Woah dude I'm sorry that was meant to hit the stripper not you" said Natsu. Makoto liked at him, and then oddly enough smiled.
"It's no problem Natsu, besides it helped me learn how to use my lightning magic so thanks I guess" said Makoto. Everyone thought that Makoto was way to forgiving, but since he was cool with it there was no need for them to make a huge scene about it.
"Hey master you said he was a Devil Slayer what's that" asked Lucy.
"It's similar to Natsu's Dragon Slaying magic, but it's used to slay devils and demons instead" said Makarov.
"Oh great so he's Flamebrain and Laxus rolled into one" said Gray.
"Gray be nice. Also he seems a lot nice than Laxus. And definitely a lot cuter too" said Mira. Makoto blushed a deep shade of crimson after he heard that, and most of the other members went wide eyed. They'd never heard Mira call someone cute before.
"Well I have to go learn more magic and junk bye" said Makoto as he ran into the library with speed that could put run Racer. Most of the guild members also noticed the red color his cheeks were glowing.
And that was the first chapter of this fanfic. Also for my Pokémon fanfic I'm just going to reset it. It will still have the same premise, but a few things will be different. Also I want to give Makoto Requip magic as well so he can hold more weapons. He won't be completely overpowered, but he'll definitely be a bit stronger get than Erza. Also for the ship there are three options tell me if you want it to be Makoto x Erza Makoto x Milliana or Makoto x Mira. Also the additional ships are Masato x Chiaki and Romeo x Wendy (I'll definitely be centering more around him during the 7 year time skip. Well that'll be all for this chapter till next time
