AN: Despite what i have noted in my first 3 stories, i decided to write a new one because i have to get this idea out of my head so i'm writing it, and it was inspired by one of the DR x FT crossover i'm currently reading entitled 'Fairy Tail's Ultimate Hope' by TriMaplenut, it's not as good as his but I'll still try my own version and here it is
Chapter 1: Makoto's Wish
The remaining six survivors was now facing the heavy steel door that separates them from the apocalyptic world that they all witness at the monitor during their last trial
"Okay, here we go" Makoto said as he push the escape button on his hands, and then the turret gun above retracted and the heavy door opens slowly until they all engulf by the blinding light, Makoto was expecting a gruesome sight of despair worlds cause by Junko however, when he open his eyes, gasp was heard from his mouth as he take in the surroundings before him
"W-What the….."
Makoto found himself on black space as its background theme, it's totally nothing except for him Makoto began to walk and surprisingly, he actually has a floor to step on, after seconds of walking yet reaching nothing, Makoto began to panic a little as he started to sprint and another ten seconds of sprinting, having the same results as last time, Makoto ran as fast as his legs can carry him however, he really reach nothing, everything was black as if you're stuck in the middle of space, at that point, Makoto was now panicking internally but trying his best to remain calm and then he try another method
"HELLO! IS ANYONE HERE" Makoto yelled out loud but the only sound he heard was the echo of his yell
"Where the heck is this place…is this the world have become after the tragedy…but it's too weird" Makoto said as he walk again
"KYOKO! AOI! YASUHIRO! BYAKUYA! FUKAWA! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS" Makoto yelled trying to find them in this unknown realm but the results are the same
"Damn it! Where is this place!"
"I sense it…your wish"
Makoto suddenly jerked after he heard a deep voice from behind as he jump away and turn around at the same time, he gasped as he saw a light the same size of his palm, it's actually as bright as sun and it lights the entire space Makoto was in
"Where did this thing come from" he thought
Then Makoto hesitantly asked the light, thinking that it was weird talking into an inanimate things, he slowly approach it and interrogate it
"It's like I'm talking to a ghost" he muttered silently
"Umm…Hello…." He started awkwardly, damn this is too embarrassing, and right now he was thankful that he's alone or else…..
"I sense your wish….your wish to restore everything" the strange light spoke, Makoto was right the voice came from this thing
"W-Wish…Restore…..W-What are you talking about and…..who are you" Makoto asked
"I have no name…but I was referred as 'One Magic' in accordance of human legends" it respond, Makoto gasped, it actually answer him but the answer made him even more confuse especially at the mention of word magic
"O-Okay so…where is this place" he added
"….."
Makoto didn't heard any respond or answer, he became a bit uncomfortable at that, Makoto then tried to think another question when suddenly, it spoke
"Your pure heart full of hope manages to summon me, young man" Makoto gasped
"Huh, what"
"A heart that never give in to despair, no matter how much death it witness, it never give up and always moving forward" Makoto's whole body suddenly shook after he heard that disgusting and despicable word that cause his friends' demise but this 'one magic' thing was right at the second part, he did carry his fiends' death until the very end and now, all he wants is to help restore the world Junko destroyed along with his remaining classmates he manage to save from her obsession of despair
"….." Makoto didn't respond, just one word had such a big impact to him, so big that if he was able to remove it to dictionary and human vocabulary, he already did
"Tell me….do you wish to restore everything"
"!"
Makoto was shock at that bizarre question, does restore everything means fixing the world the way it was before the tragedy, before Junko and her organization destroy it, but then would that also mean that everyone died, including his deceased classmates will also be…..
Makoto look at the light and without any hesitation, he declare his answer, he could care less now even if it's only just a dream he had after probably getting knocked out or something like that on their way out of the academy, this thing appear out of nowhere, praising him and then asked him that question, well it's worth a shot after all so why not take the opportunity, at this point, what will he lose
"Yes" Makoto said
"Very well, I will now grant your wish…..and this conversation we had never took place or you meeting me for your own good, farewell young man and good luck"
From the bright light Makoto was talking to, the entire dark space they're in was slowly being engulf with blinding burst of power, Makoto and the One Magic disappear until the readers can no longer see the two and after that the scene was shifted into a completely different place
Makoto slowly open his eyes and adjust to the light of the surrounding he's in, he then slowly get up and rub it then he suddenly feel a massive headache that was trying to tear his head apart
"GAH! This hurts" Makoto groaned and grip his hair but after few seconds of intense pain, it's starting to died down, After that experience, Makoto get up from his sitting position
"W-Where am I…..I swear that I was talking to someone….but who" Makoto asked himself and then he then wondered where is he now while his brain was struggling to remember the conversation he had with someone else but strangely, he can't remember who but his gut and his instincts tells him that he was definitely talking to someone, setting that matter aside, Makoto took in the sight before him, he can definitely saw houses and two tall infrastructure that towering all of them, one of them look like a church and the other was two floored building made out of wood and lumbers
"What the-" Makoto blur out, this is nowhere near the place he was in or knew, he was on the top of a hill just above a town or city…..well you can't actually call this place a city since there are no tall buildings except the two so town was suitable term
"That's right! Where are they" Makoto suddenly remember Kyoko and the others so he quickly look around him and saw no one, it seems that he was all alone
"Damn, what is this place anyway…but I had to admit, the atmosphere here is refreshing" Makoto commented as he inhaled the air and exhale, Makoto dismiss that and started to think of something he had to do, of course it's obvious that he had to find them immediately and regroup but the problem is….he had no idea where he is too so he don't know where to start to look for them
"This won't do, I had to start to something" He said and he looks at the town below him
"Maybe I should go to that town and start asking" Makoto said while nodding in confirmation, he dust himself and was about to take his first step on this strange place when an old man's voice stop him
"So you're the source of that overwhelming magic power"
"Huh"
Makoto look back to see a short old man wearing a white shirt underneath a orange jacket and paired with an orange pants and a joker-like hat with orange and blue stripes on each of its horns, his eyes were narrowed at him and then to his surprise, Makoto sense something powerful from him, he can't describe it but it was quite threatening to him so he became quite alert on his presence
"W-What is this feeling…" he thought
"Who are you young lad" the old man asked bluntly…..or rather ordered him
"Umm….N-Naegi Makoto…." Makoto said uncertainly, the old man eye him from head to toe then he proceed to interrogate him
"Never heard that name before….so what is a wizard like you doing here on Magnolia" he followed up
"W-Wizard…M-Magnolia…..Magic Power….w-what are you talking about, I don't know anything about those" Makoto asked him in shocked expressi-wait a minute, Magic….I think I heard that word before….but where
"Hey are you alright, you're acting funny lad…you're in Magnolia like I said and you possess an overwhelming magic power, totally impressive and shocking at your age, so what business do you have here" the old man elaborate the question again, Makoto became confuse, this old man appear and telling that he have magic, oh great this is getting all weird
"T-There's something wrong here mister….I'm not a wizard and….ummm…. and magic is not real in the first place…I'm really sorry…..to be honest….I d-don't know where am I, you see I was with my friends then suddenly I found myself here alone and then you came up telling me that I have magic…..AH! it's so confusing" Makoto told him, he didn't know what to say, having woke up in an unfamiliar place and not to mention all alone can make you go crazy
"Hmmm…..I don't know what's going on here but I can tell that you're not native here, by the way I'm Makarov Dreyar, but you can call me gramps as everyone call me here" Makarov said, he finally deemed that this Makoto kid is not an enemy or threat but the level of his magic is still in question, which he will do later, Makoto then nodded
"O-Ok"
"Why don't you come with me so we can discuss you predicament" Makarov said, Makoto agreed as the two went down to the road while talking to each other
After a couple of hours of walking and talking, Makarov was now the one who's confuse but he understand some of it, despite Makoto's precise and detailed story of what happened to him, his old brain can't quite catch up
"So, you're saying that you're from a different world" Makarov summarize for him, Makoto didn't answer, he just nodded, Makarov took that as a yes then he continue
"And you're saying that your world has been destroyed long time ago and for unknown reason you find yourself here, is that correct" Makarov asked, again Makoto nodded
"Hmmm….To be able to travel between worlds…..I wonder what kind of magic could do that, maybe it's something to do with your magic" Makarov told him
"No, I didn't and I really don't know if I did or not and besides I don't even know that I have magic, I'm really sorry Makarov-san, I know you're not believing me but thank you for hearing me out" Makoto said
"No, I believe you Makoto so no worries, to tell you the truth, I'm good at detecting lies and as far as I hear, you're actually telling the truth, I can feel your grief on each word you spoke and it was really sad to hear" Makarov correct him
"….."
"Well, now that's done, and since you have nowhere to go, why not join my guild" Makarov asked Makoto gasped at that, guild….sounds like a certain group of people, but he wasn't sure about it
"What's a guild" Makoto asked, at that point Makarov sigh, he forgot to inform him about magic
"Oh, my bad you still didn't know how things work here, here in Earthland as this world was called, not all people here are wizards like us, in fact….10-20 percent of the population in whole magic world possess something they called a 'container' that allows them to capture a particle in the air called Etherano, once that container was filled with those particles…..they can harness it in form of magic" Makarov explained to him
"Really…." Makoto was shocked, it was like one of Hifumi's fantasy coming to life
"That's right, also wizards can feel each other's presence through magic, they can even sense how much magic one possess, and that's the reason I found you earlier" Makarov said
"Ah…so that's how it is…..actually I also feel a powerful aura in you Makarov-san, so it was your magic" Makoto said, he's now gradually getting to the point
"That's correct"
"But you told me that I possess an overwhelming magic power, I haven't even use it in my entire life, well because magic doesn't exist at all in my world, what do you mean by that" Makoto asked
"Yes about that, actually not everyone has fair amount of magic power, most of wizards only possess normal amount but they can increase it by training however, there are few unique people possess an extremely large amount of magic naturally" Makarov said
"So you're saying that I'm one of those unique people with strong magic power" Makoto asked, right now he's imagining all sort of things he could do with his so called magic
"That's right but because of that difference, it creates a wide gap between us wizards" Makarov said, Makoto was shock at that, he immediately get what the old man meant, it was power, strong ones tend to step on weak ones
"I-Is that so….." Makoto was saddened at that
"And that's where the guild steps in, you see despite having this power, we can't change the fact that we're still humans so in reality, we're really weak in nature so in order to make up for it, several wizards band together to form something that we called guild, it's a place where wizards can make friends, have fun and do jobs together, it's the place where bonds are forged and strengthened" Makarov said, Makoto can't help but to smile at that, he was definitely right, if only his friends just do that despite that sinister bears' taunts, then they won't ending up being dead right now
"I see"
"So Makoto, I ask you this question would like to join my guild, Fairy Tail" Makarov asked him after stopping and turn to the large two floored building Makoto saw when he was on the hill, he was overjoyed at that, he didn't know how but it looks like that he was given another chance, a chance to relive his normal life but this time it was filled with magic and adventures
"Yes!"
