Welcome to the first chapter of my Fairy Tail fic, Enter Sandman. I got into Fairy Tail a couple months ago(December 2012) it didn't take me long to want to start my own fic. It took a bit of planning but I have a broad idea for this story and there will be sequels to this story after I complete it. Also, for those of you who are fans of my Iridescent story, I am planning on starting that back up, lost a bit of motivation to do that but a recent jump in follows on that story has reignited the motivation in me. So if you are waiting for the next chapter of that, just be patient and it'll come soon enough, in the mean time enjoy this new fic story and I hope you leave a comment and choose to follow this story. Have fun.
I ended up rewriting some of the first two chapters of Leviathan after deciding to recreate my Fairy Tail oc. He uses a different magic and his name has been changed, aside from that not much has changed.
I do not own Fairy Tail or it's characters, I do own Theo Dyson.
"Well, it looks like the operation has started." A man stated, he was wearing a short blue and white striped mantle around his neck, on his arms were tight-fitting green armbands almost reaching up to his shoulders and around his waist there was a long loincloth, held up by a simple belt. "We should also get going."
"Before that Jura." Replied another person, he was about half the height of the other man, and was wearing a white suite. "I have heard that you are one of the Ten Great Wizard Saints."
"Indeed I am." Replied Jura.
The smaller person continued, "And you are powerful enough to rival even Master Makarov."
"Oh, not even close." Honorably declined the comparison, "The title of Wizard Saint is bestowed by the Council. I'm the weakest of them all. We may have the same title, but compared to Master Makarov, it's like the difference between Heaven and Earth."
"Oh. That's quite a relief to hear." The one guy responded pulling a tube out and opened the lid on it, "If you were really as powerful as Makarov, I would have been somewhat at a loss."
Jura suddenly began to tremble in pain, "What is this smell?"
"A magical perfume that saps one's fighting spirit." The smaller man remarked while smiling.
"I-Ichiya… What is the meaning of this?" Jura demanded, trying to fight through the pain.
"And furthermore, this is a scent that simulates every sensation of pain throughout your body." The man thought to be Ichiya continued as he pulled out another tube and opened it, causing Jura to collapse in even more pain. "I mean, perfume, that is!" Suddenly Ichiya disappeared in a puff of smoke revealing two small blue creatures, one wearing orange shorts and one wearing black shorts.
"We're back." The one in orange cheered.
"That Ichiya fellow only ever thought about pervy stuff." The other one complained.
"Seriously what a worthless adult." The first one agreed.
"Now, now… No complaining." A young woman spoke up. She was wearing a short dress made up of white feathers with two bird-like wings that hang from her back.
"W-what… in the world is…?" Jura struggled to say.
"Oh, I just copied that dirty little man. And thanks to that, I know your entire plan!" The woman explained.
"We can tell what…" One of the blue creatures started.
"…Who we copy are thinking!" The other finished.
"Righto! I've gotten rid of two already." The woman bragged. "Don't get in our way, children of the light. Naughty children who get in our way will face Angel's judgment."
The woman walked away laughing, leaving Jura in a heap on the ground. A few seconds passed when a mysterious figure walked up to the scene.
"Now that wasn't something you see every day." He remarked.
"I-Incredible" remarked an injured Hibiki.
"These guys… are really strong." Gray added.
"What's the matter, Brain? Why have you stopped the spell?" Racer questioned to the Oración Seis leader as the man stared at the blue haired girl who was hiding behind a rock.
"Someone you know?" Cobra asked Brain also.
"There's no mistaking it, you are Wendy." Brain explained, "The Maiden of the Sky!"
"The Maiden… of the Sky?" Gray wondered aloud.
"What's that?" Wendy called out, confused.
"What does that mean?" Happy asked as well.
"I didn't expect to encounter you here." Brain continued, "It looks like we picked up a nice present. Come!"
A green beam exploded out of Brain's staff and shot towards and captured Wendy.
"Wendy!" Screamed both Carla and Happy.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Natsu demanded.
"Money is the great equalizer, yes!" Hoteye proclaimed as he activated one of his magic abilities liquefying the ground.
Both of the cats went running after her and as she reached out for Carla she managed to get a hold of Happy instead before both Wendy and Happy were engulfed by the green beam and disappeared.
"Happy" "Wendy!" cried both Natsu and Carla.
"I have no more need for you worms." Brain proclaimed as his staff began to emit the same green aura as before. "Begone."
"Dark Rondo!"
"Get down!" Yelled Hibiki as he grabbed Lucy.
"Sherry!" Lyon cried out as he grabbed his friend.
"This is Lyon's love!" Sherry said blissfully.
"Rockiron Wall!"
"Desert Wall!"
Suddenly pillars of rock and stone exploded out of the ground as well as a wall of sand shot up out of the ground also and over everyone blocking the Dark Rondo attack.
"Just barely in time" a man's voice said in relief.
"Jura!" Sherry called out.
"Amazing Jura" Praised Eve.
"Thank you." Hibiki added, "You saved us."
"Man, thanks a bunch." Lucy continued.
"Damn it let me at 'em!" Natsu fumed, before realizing that Oración Seis had disappeared. "Huh?"
"They disappeared?" Gray commented.
"What!?" Natsu responded, shocked.
"Wendy…" Carla said, looking out at the scene, worried.
"They totally got us…" Ren seethed.
"They're too powerful." Eve commented. "We couldn't even touch them.
"Oración Seis… What kind of monsters are they?" Hibiki asked. "There are only six of them, but they're even more powerful than the data we collected on them suggested!"
"And our plan to use Christina is…" Sherry added.
"Yes... That woman who can peer into your heart said so." Jura continued. "She said that they knew everything about our plans."
"Um… What about the people that were on board?" Lucy questioned.
"You don't have to worry about that." Ren responded.
"Christina was heading to its destination by remote control." Eve explained.
"After we found their base, we were supposed to board it, however…" Hibiki added.
"I see! Thank goodness…" Lucy responded, relieved.
"I am also glad you remain safe, Jura." Lyon remarked.
"No… It was quite a close call." Jura responded
"Those wounds?"
"A fearsome power indeed." Jura confirmed, "I have numbed the pain for now, thanks to Ichiya's painkiller perfume."
"Damn you, Oración Seis… How dare you run just as we arrive!" Ichiya claimed. "We must have scared them off."
"You're all beat up, you know!" Gray protested.
"These injuries? Nothing at all." Ichiya boasted. "Everyone, take a whiff of my painkiller perfume!"
"Ah, what a nice smell." Sherry commented.
"Yeah my pain is going away." Lucy added.
"Of course Ichiya and I wouldn't have even had a chance to make it here in time if not for a timely arrival." Jura explained.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Lyon questioned.
"He's talking about me." A voice spoke up as everyone turned in its direction to see a man in a sleeveless hoodie jacket, dark red t-shirt, black shorts and he was also wearing a headband.
"What the? Who are you?" Gray demanded upon seeing the stranger.
"My name's Theo, Theo Dyson." The guy explained. "And to be honest, I only helped out because I was in the neighborhood and saw what happened to cueball over here."
"Damn those bastards… How dare they kidnap Wendy and Happy?!" Natsu said, still fuming. "Where are you? Where did you run off to?!"
"Natsu, where are you going?" Lucy asked, watching Natsu run off before he was yanked down by Carla.
"Sheesh, try calming down a little." Carla scolded him as everyone looked at the now floating cat.
"Wings?" Hibiki asked.
"Definitely wings." Sherry confirmed.
"The cat can fly?" Ren questioned."
"This magic is called Aera." Carla explained. "Well, I suppose it's only natural to be surprised the first time you see it."
"You're copyin' Happy!" Natsu protested.
"What's that?" Carla responded, angrily.
"Now who's the one who's surprised?" Lucy joked.
"Anyways… I'm worried about Wendy and that male cat. But these aren't people we can beat by randomly coming at them, right?" The white cat continued.
"Carla is correct." Jura agreed. "Our enemy is stronger than we anticipated."
"And besides…" Carla added, pointing towards their scarlet haired comrade.
"Erza!" Natsu said as he realized what was happening to her.
"Hang in there!" Lucy added. "Poison is spreading around the place that snake bit you…"
"Ichiya, do you think you can help?" Eve asked his guild mate.
"Of course." He replied. " For my honey… Painkiller perfume!"
"Augment Aroma!"
"Wait… Will a painkiller help with poison?" Lucy questioned.
"Our senpai's perfume works not just with pain, but can cure poison as well." Hibiki responded.
"It looks like she's suffering even worse!" Gray remarked
"No… the painkiller perfume isn't working!" Eve said, in a bit of shock as everyone realized Erza's condition was worsening.
"Hang in there Erza!" Natsu said, trying to comfort his comrade.
"There really isn't much we can do now can we?" Theo asked, as he stayed standing off to the side.
"I can't fight like this," Erza said as she threw her sword in front of her after tying a belt around her injured arm. "Cut it off!"
"Don't be a fool!" Gray protested.
"Please… someone…"
"Understood." Lyon said, grabbing the sword. "I will do it."
"Lyon, don't!" Gray demanded, stepping in front of the fellow Ice Mage.
"You guys are mental. Willingly accepting to cut each other's limbs off?" Theo commented, slowly walking forward.
"If you're going to do it, hurry!" Erza demanded "Soon the poison will spread through my entire body!"
"Stop it Lyon!" Gray continued to protest, refusing to step aside.
"Here I go!" Lyon said as he swings the sword, however before he can, ice forms around the blade as Gray grabs the sword as well. "What are you doing? You value her arm more than her life?"
"There has to be another way." Gray explained. "Don't jump to conclusions!"
Erza suddenly falls to the ground, unconscious as Natsu and Lucy run to her side, "Erza!"
"This is bad… at this rate the poison will spread throughout her body!" Eve commented, as everyone looked on worried.
"Wendy could save her." Carla spoke up as everyone turned to the white cat, dumbfounded. "This is not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves. We should work together and save Wendy, and that male cat, while we're at it."
"What do you mean she could save Erza?" Theo asked.
"That little girl has magic that can purify poison?" Eve added.
"Not just poison. She can cure fevers, stop pain, and heal injuries." Carla responded.
"But I thought Healing Magic was a Lost Magic." Sherry explained.
"Wait, does it have something to do with the Maiden of the Sky thing?" Lucy questioned.
"Wendy is the Sky Dragon Slayer." Carla answered, as everyone stood there shocked.
"A Dragon Slayer?" Natsu said, in shock.
'So there are others?' Theo thought while looking at the pink haired mage.
"I won't explain anymore." Carla continued. "What we need now is Wendy. And although I don't know why they seem to need Wendy as well."
"We will save Wendy." Eve said, as everyone agreed.
"Alright!Then Let's go!" Natsu called.
Everyone had split up into separate groups, with Natsu, Gray, Carla and Theo as one of the groups. As they went their separate ways Marcus could tell a certain Ice mage was eyeing him closely.
"You just gonna stare at me or are you planning on saying something?" Theo finally said.
"Why are you even coming with us?" Gray asked the mystery mage.
"I have my reasons, but now is not the time to be explaining them, and I don't feel like explaining them either. Just keep moving." Theo replied.
"Jeez, you're the secretive type. Will you at least tell us what kind of magic you use?"
"I use sand magic."
"I see, so like our friend Max."
"I don't know who that is."
"He's a sand magic mage at our guild."
"You know I wasn't asking who that person was."
"So, about this Sky Dragon Slayer… What does she eat?" Natsu asked the white cat, changing the subject.
"Air" Replied Carla.
"Does air taste good?" Natsu continued, albeit in his usual manner.
"How should I know?"
"How is that different than breathing oxygen?" Gray joined in.
"She volunteered for this mission because she thought she might get to meet you." Carla continued, ignoring Gray's question.
"Me?" asked Natsu.
"You're also a Dragon Slayer, yes?" Carla added. "She wanted to ask you something."
"To ask me?"
"Yes. She says that the dragon that taught her Dragon Slayer Magic disappeared 7 years ago." Carla explained. "So she thinks that you might know where the dragon is."
"What's the dragon's name?" Theo asked.
"She said it was the Sky Dragon Grandeeney, if I recall…"
"The Sky Dragon, Grandeeney…" Natsu thought aloud.
'Dragons who disappeared 7 years ago. It couldn't be a coincidence.' Theo contemplated.
"W-what's this!?" Theo was shaken out of his thoughts by Carla's sudden reaction; he looked up to see the woods in front of the group covered in a mysterious black aura.
"The trees are b-black?" Gray commented.
"This ain't right." Natsu added.
"Something's wrong." Theo continued. "Very wrong."
"Zatou, they said it's 'cause of Nirvana, right?" A voice spoke up, the group turned around to see a couple of monkey-like creatures.
"It's just that terrible of a magic." The one called Zatou remarked. "The earth itself is dying, Gatou."
Soon enough, more monkeys started to come out of the trees.
"H-Hey…" said a very worried Carla. "We're surrounded."
"This is really bad." Theo remarked aloud.
"It's cause of Nirvana right?" repeated Gatou.
"You just said, Gatou." Zatou complained.
"Did I, Zatou?"
"It's monkeys! We got two monkeys here, whoa!" Natsu joked.
"Hey! Those guys are from Fairy Tail!" One of the monkeys spoke up, seemingly in a rage. "It was their fault!"
"Ah, friends of the woman who messed up our plans in Acalypha, huh?" Gatou remarked.
"There's another monkey!" Natsu added.
"We're Naked Mummy, and we work for Oración Seis!"
"Naked Mummy?"
"One of the Dark Guilds." Gray said. "Lucy told us about them."
"We've been had! I thought we were only up against six people!" Carla complained.
"These guys'll be perfect."
"Perfect!" Natsu said, while mocking the monkeys.
"What are you people saying? We have to hurry and break through to escape!" Carla continued to protest.
"We don't really have a choice other than to fight. It's not like they'll let us go so easily, even with how stupid they seem." Theo replied. 'Even if we fight, I can't let them see just who I really am.'
"Wait for us Happy and Wendy!" Natsu proclaimed.
"These brats are makin' fun of us!" Zatou argued.
"We are Naked Mummy, and we work for Oración Seis!" Gatou repeated.
"Why do you say things twice?" Natsu interjected.
"It's over for you." Zatou boasted.
Natsu, Gray and Marcus stood their ground as Naked Mummy prepared to attack.
"What's with these wizards?" Carla thought aloud. "Do they really think they can win against such numbers?"
Next Time:
Naked Mummy's appearance complicates matters and Theo struggles with his plans. When the situation changes for Theo, he is forced into making a decision as to whether or not his secret is worth keeping. Just who is Theo Dyson?
