Dragon's of Alvarez
Chapter 1
Where are we?
If I owned Fairy Tail, it would have magic...Oh wait it does.
"Panther-lily sir! There are people acting violently near the castle. They are destroying one neighborhood after another..." An Edolas palace guard screamed, while running into the room housing the Anima.
"It looks like the panic is worse than I expected...We must do something quickly" The blue haired man said quietly, while turning towards the guard. "How many of the vigilantes are there?"
"Uh...three. Who are you exactly?" The skeptical guard had never seen him, yet he was in the of limits palace room.
Panther-lily looked at the guard. "If there are only three of them, then why haven't you taken care of it yet?" He screamed. The poor guard cowered a little.
"Th-Their s-s-super s-s-strong s-s-sir." He glanced down looking slightly ashamed.
"I guess that I must take care of them myself." The blue haired man said while running out of the chamber.
"HAHAHA! I am the great demon lord Dragneel! I am the one who has taken all you magic power, and defeated your weakling of a king. HAHAHA!" The deranged fire dragon slayer screamed while laughing maniacally from the roof of the building.
Down below him on the streets, Gajeel and Wendy were both scaring-and failing (in regards to the blue haired girl)-the citizens of the Royal City.
"I swear, that punk is having way too much fun up there. Why couldn't I be the one to do that?" Gajeel commented bluntly.
"It is because you are my servant!" was the reply from above.
"WOULD YOU CUT THE SERVANT CRAP!" He yelled, while comically turning his head 180 degrees.
"Shut up slave!"
"*sigh*. I guess I should've been more specific." the iron dragon slayer muttered, causing Wendy to giggle nearby.
Meanwhile, the crowd was bubbling with anger. "So they're the ones who're stealing Edolas' magic power!" "Yeah! It's the great demon lord Dragneel!" "We will never forgive you!" "Return us our magic power!" "Fix my shower lacrima!"
"I will burn all who oppose me!" Natsu yelled, and then shot fire out of his mouth, causing a great number of screams from below.
"NATSU! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" The voice belonged to Mistogan, who was standing on the castle balcony.
Natsu turned towards him "I am the demon lord Dragneel. I wonder if the measly prince of Edolas can stop me."
This statement caused lots of disruption among the crowd. It was increased even more, when Edolas' Gajeel screamed "Prince Jellal is back!".
"Natsu don't move from that spot!" Jellal shouted, before diving off the balcony towards him.
"I am the great demon lord Dragneel." he stated bluntly with a sinister grin on his face.
'I know why you doing this, but it won't help to regain control.' "Sleep!" Jellal shouted, while pushing his staff out in front of him. Nothing happened, causing the prince to realize what had happened. The anima had taken his magic as well!
Natsu just laughed. "It seems that you don't have any magic power, which is a shame...BECAUSE I GOT PLENTY!" He slammed a fire coated fist onto the building he was standing on, causing it to be engulfed in flames. The citizens screamed, as debris went flying.
"Natsu you are over doing it!" Wendy yelled.
"No, he is not. The stronger the villain's magic seems, than the more powerful the hero seems, when he wins without using any magic at all." Gajeel said with a little grin on his face.
"That's enough Natsu. I cannot be the hero here. And you playing dead won't work on this mob." Jellal said.
Natsu ignored him, instead rushing forward to punch him in the face.
"You can't think that you could fool any of them." Jellal said while throwing a punch at the demon lord. Natsu caught the punch, only to be hit in the face by a solid roundabout kick, causing the crowd to erupt into cheering.
After a few more punches were exchanged, Natsu got right up next to Jellal, before whispering in his ear. "This is my way of doing the Fairy Tail farewell ceremony. And since you will be staying here, you must be taught the three laws."
Natsu hit him with an uppercut. "First, you must never for the rest of your life, reveal sensitive information, or tactics that could handicap Fairy Tail." This was followed by a punch landing directly in the center of Natsu's face. "What was the second one again?"
Jellal gave a smile before delivering multiple blows to Natsu. "You must never contact any past clients for your own personal gain."
"Yeah that's it. And third...Though our paths may have diverged you must continue to live out your life with all your might. You must never consider your life to be of little value. And you must never forget about your friends who loved you," The two punched each other. "You got it?"
The two grinned at each other, before Natsu fell backwards, defeated. Suddenly, a golden light enveloped the fire dragon slayer. The same light began shining from the two dragonslayers behind him as well. Throughout the crowd, the same golden shined from all of the Earthland wizards, and exceeds. Jellal looked at it in surprise.
'I would have never thought that the anima would purge those with internal magic, along with the magic itself.' He thought, while looking into the sky. The dragonslayers began floating into the sky, joining the streams of pure magic energy.
"Goodbye everyone! I will see you later" Yelled a floating Happy. Charle scowled beside him. "We are never going to return here, tomcat."
Happy suddenly started crying, "I will miss you!" he cried, as tears streamed down his face.
Happy, Charle, and the rest of the exceeds joined the Earthland wizards in there skyward flight.
The sky was filled with a golden light. White rings appeared before closing concentrically towards a spot in the sky. The humans and exceeds flew into the hole, before it vanished without a trace from the sky.
On the outskirts of Magnolia
A group of people and exceeds fell from the sky, and plopped down on the ground.
"Ouch that hurt" Lucy exclaimed while rubbing her backside.
Erza stood up before taking her bearings. "Not only have we returned to Earthland, but Magnolia seems to be in one piece. And the exceeds seem to have arrived with us."
The group of Fairy Tail wizards' relief was broken when Charle shouted, "We don't have time for this nonsense. Where is Wendy?!"
"Now that you mention it, Natsu and Gajeel aren't here either" Lucy stated with a concerned look on her face.
"We must find them. Lucy and Gray return to the guildhall. The Master must be informed of this entire incident. In the mean time, Happy you will come with me and look for them." After Lucy and Gray took off into Magnolia, Erza turned towards the group of Exceeds that were gathered around their queen.
"I apologize, but we must go and look for our missing friends." Queen Shagot looked at Erza before offering to assist in the search. Soon after, the sky was filled with flying cats, all in search of the dragon slayers that had saved them in Edolas.
They searched to no avail, as after an hour of the search, there hadn't been a trace of them anywhere. Erza reluctantly gave up on the search and bid the Exceeds goodbye before heading back to the guild. With her trailed a black Exceed who wanted to join the guild, and Happy who seemed depressed due to Natsu's absence.
"Did you find them?" Lucy asked while standing up from a stool at the bar. She sat back down with a frown when Erza shook her head.
"Master, I was unable to find Natsu, Gajeel, or Wendy. For now, it seems they are missing." She said, causing the Master to frown.
"That is troubling, though I guess the only thing we can do about it is to send word around to the other guilds. I would inform the council, but they would probably rejoice in the fact that one of our most destructive members is missing." Makarov said in reply.
"Listen up brats!" he announced to the members of the guild who were present. "It appears that Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy have all gone missing. As some of you may have heard, this city had been taken to a place called Edolas. The city was returned, but the dragon slayers did not come with it."
At that various whispers, and some outbursts, were heard throughout the crowd. "Master so what are we supposed to do?" asked Levy as she thought of the iron dragon slayer.
"I am afraid that the only thing we can do is look. We can also spread the word to other guilds. When you go on jobs, ask around for any information on them." Master Makarov said as he spoke to the guild.
After he finished speaking, he turned and sat down at the bar.
"Dear Mavis, we can only pray that they will return safely to us." He muttered to himself before picking up his drink.
Somewhere unknown
Three sounds were heard as three individuals hit the ground. "Get the hell off me Salamander." Spoke Gajeel as he shoved the pink haired dragon slayer off of him and right onto Wendy. "Eek!" She shrieked as Natsu landed on her. She pushed him before scooting backwards, a small tint of red on her face.
"What happened?" Natsu asked as he stood up, looking around.
"We were in Edolas ya idiot." Gajeel said as he looked around. "Where the heck is my cat!"
"Speaking of that, where is Magnolia and the rest of the guild?" Wendy asked as she too took a look at her surroundings.
The three dragon slayers were in an open expanse of land. There was little grass, and that which did exist was found in small patches. Scattered around the landscape were a type of tree that the mages had never seen before. It had a fat center, with a bush like top, making it resemble broccoli. The ground itself was relatively flat, though pieces of rock jutted forth in various places.
As Natsu turned around, he spotted a cabin about a half a mile in a direction. "Look over there! Maybe someone lives there, and can give me something to eat!" He said before running towards the cabin.
"Hey ya flame head get back here." 'At least Gajeel thinks' Wendy thought to herself. "If anyone's gonna get food its gonna be me!" Gajeel finished.
"Or not..." Wendy muttered before following them. At least they could ask where they were.
A few minutes later, Wendy reached the cabin to find Natsu and Gajeel arguing out front.
She sweat dropped at the scene, before butting between the two. "Maybe we should just knock." She said, snapping them from their confrontation. "Good idea Wendy," Natsu said before walking up to the door and moving to knock.
Before his hand could reach the door, it opened to show a dark room. A second after, the room lit up revealing an old man in a black and gold cloak sitting in a chair opposite the door. "Come on inside he said as he beckoned them forward."
Whether they wanted to or not, as a force was applied at their backs pushing them in, they entered. "What the heck, who are you?" Natsu said as he ignited his fist and glared at the guy.
The flame in Natsu's hand went out suddenly, causing his jaw to drop. "What did you do to my magic?" He asked.
The man in the chair stood up and began to speak. "Hello Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Marvell, and Gajeel Redfox of Fairy Tail. My name is August, and I am the right hand of my Emperor Spriggan. You are in the country of Alvarez, and at the behest of the emperor, I summoned the three of you here."
"What do you want with us?" Gajeel asked the man.
"With you, not much. The emperor desires to speak with young Dragneel here. But it was simpler to pull the three of you here as you were exciting the anima portal, then it would have been to try and target Natsu here specifically. Now that you are here, I think that we should be going."
Natsu growled. "Why should we go with you? I don't even know who this emperor guy you're talking about even is!" He shouted out at the man named August.
"Yeah, Natsu's right," spoke up Wendy. "What right do you have to bring us here without permission, then demand that we follow you?"
August looked slightly irritated. Before any of the dragon slayers could speak, he spoke again. "I was hoping to do this the easy way, but I guess you leave me no choice."
He raised his hands and muttered a spell. A second later the three Fairy Tail mages hit the ground asleep.
"Children...Always so naive." He muttered before casting another spell causing the four individuals to vanish from the little cabin.
On an island in the middle of the ocean stood a large tree. Upon this island a black haired man was laying in the grass. He wore a black coat, rimmed in gold, that had a raised collar. Around his neck there was a necklace with a circular pendant hanging down towards his chest. Wrapped around his body from a shoulder, was a white piece of cloth. He was positioned so that his hair hung over his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
As the man began moving, his hair shifted revealing black eyes.
"It would appear that August has set my plan in motion." He said with a smile.
"Natsu...I will see you again soon."
A/N: Yay! This chapter is posted...what no one? Anyway, thank you for reading the first chapter of Dragon's of Alvarez. I know that it may be boring, or choppy so forgive me. I had to get that out of the way so I could move onto the cool stuff. Anyways, what do you think of the idea? Yes, no, maybe so? I would appreciate it if you would let me know with a good old review. As for this story, I will be writing it at the same time as Chaos of Time (You should check it out), but I will try and update both on a regular basis.
By the way, anyone feel like writing a collaborative story?
