Fairy Tail V: Tale of the World Slayer

Chapter One:
Luke Drakeson the Phoenix Slayer

JellalRavan:
This is my first fanfic. I love Fairy Tail and I intend to keep to the main story but add and take away a few things so that my OC can fit a bit better!
Luke Drakeson is my OC and he will be the main-character in this fanfic, his story will be told and he will also have a romantic and dramatic relationship with Fairy Tail's Erza Scarlet!

I hope you will enjoy this work of mine!

I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the original characters!

*This chapter was longer before, I have split it into two chapters so it will be easier to read the fanfic, I have done the same to a few other chapters*

Luke's POV

Well, to start with, I was not always around when things got serious, I died once and I lost track of time, I was forced to train with my mother and I gave up the love of my life. And I had quite the few reasons to stay away from the guild. It was not that I disliked the guild or my family. I loved them, I gave my life for them, and I'd do it again. But things got complicate fast, way too fast!

I blame myself for a lot that accrued, but it is better if you just read about what happened, and who I am and what my place in the guild is, or was…
Now... I'll let you read the tale of Fairy Tail through my eyes.
The eyes of the coming World Slayer…

My name is Luke Drakeson, and no! I'm not a dragon slayer. I'm far more hellish and lethal, but we will get to that part!

I was a part of the guild known as "Fairy Tail" for years; I was just a kid when I joined. I didn't remembered my real parents, but I knew I was raised by something inhuman. I got the magic to prove it, oh, and I lost most of my memories back when I was a child, that's why I couldn't remember my parents or the inhuman being that made me what I am. But all that got complicated after a while...

After I had first joined; I was timid at first, but Cana and Gray made me more human, more loving. To tell the truth, I was a bit of a dick when I first joined Fairy Tail. I sat by myself and hardly ever spoke to anyone, until Cana punched me in my face and told me to act more like a member of Fairy Tail and stop being rude when others tried to help me. It hellped me, even though it hurt.

Cana and Gray was already a part of the guild when I joined and we got along better than it seemed, Gray and I were best of buds and Cana and I made sure that Gray didn't go and strip everywhere we went; the worst thing he could do during a mission.
Often I'd help with some of the higher ranked mission, I was the free-pass to a tuffer mission and my power alone was enough to take care of any problem we faced.

Master Makarov told me that I was to stop my friends from destroying anything or shaming the guild; easier said than done I might add!
Even if Gray, Cana and the rest of the younger members could be a bit too much I loved the guild, the people that was my family. They showed me kindness I had never seen or felt before, I think, the lost-memories-thing made everything a bit complicated.

The only one I had a problem with was Laxus, but he didn't make my time in the guild bad. Actually, I was sorry for him, being master Makarov's grandchild was hard on him. The funny thing was that when I was younger, we were equally matched whenever we fought, to his frustration and my happiness.
I was strong for my age, my magic was a bit of a secret at first, I was a slayermage, but I was afraid of my own power, (the story about how I got it is better saved for later) as a child I did not know the truth about me and my family, but I can tell you it is way more complicated then you can ever think!

As I said, I loved Fairy Tail, I still do! I was strong and was at the only one to keep Erza and Mirajane from making too much of a fuss. (Later it was Gray and Natsu.) I made sure that Gray and the other kids in the guild were safe during harder missions. The older and younger members of the guild and I shared a lot of memories, Mirajane stole my fist real kiss to prove that I was still as timid as I pretended not to be. Erza and I had a rivalry that everyone else in the guild called a love-hate relationship. We became a form of duo after I became a S-class mage. Master Makarov made me S-class when I turned fifteen and I started to leave the guild more frequently then I intended, sometimes with Erza, but most time's all alone.

I became stronger and stronger, it made Natsu enraged and he made sure I battled him when I returned from a mission. He was no match for me, Erza was way scarier to face and was the one to stop Gray's and Natsu's fights when I was not around.

During my time in the guild I remembered that I learned my magic from a phoenix and was the only known mage to use Phonix Slayer magic. I practiced other magic's as well to make myself as strong as possible. Sure I had a hard time using other magic, but it paid off in the end. Phoenix Slayer magic was something like Dragon Slayer magic, but I could heal flesh wound, use teleportation (but it was draining magical energy way too fast to be used most times) and later on in life I could freely enter something I called Rebirth-form, it was my ultimate state, but it was draining as well and my body would take damage during the transformation.

(Ohh, don't think I was overpowered! I had quite a lot of flews! But to name them all now is a waste of time! Keep reading and you'll know!)

As a few years went by, I got stronger along with the other younglings in the guild and one day I had the opportunity to fight Gildarts Clive, and lost, big time!

Even though I lost the master declared me a SS-Class mage, and one of the strongest members of Fairy Tail. It was embarrassing and a bit stupid. Sure, I could fight Erza and win, most of the times and I could fight Laxus on par, but to make me a SS-Class mage… Master Makarov just went overboard that time.

Natsu wanted to battle me right away, Erza looked away from me and Laxus looked at me as if I'd stolen his thunder or something, I saw pure anger in his eyes when I saw him at the guild. After some time, things fortunately got back to the way they used to be. But I was from that day the guy who could beat almost anyone in the guild. Respect and fear followed me through Fiore, but my closest friends knew me to well to ignore or try to charm me.

Then the tragedy hit, Lisanna died. Mirajane became gentler, more angel-like and Elfman blamed himself for his sister's death to the point that I needed to beat him up for him to understand that he was not to blame. It didn't work... I was in chock, Lisanna and I had been good friends, and I supported her love for Natsu.

To take Natsu's mind of Lisanna, I made Natsu follow me and train for three months in an area I called the Dragon Mountains. He got stronger, but he still felt down about Lisanna. To tell him that she loved him was not an option; it would break him for sure. I kept quiet and focused on my own love, yes, I was in love! With Erza Scarlet…

I got closer to her in the years following Lisannas death. And I had fallen in love with her more and more ever since we turned S-class.
It was me and Gray who made her open up to the rest of the guild. I didn't know what she thought about me and I was too scared to ask her out. She remained a close friend, as long as I could be close to her, I'd remain happy, but all of that changed, it all started after Lucy Heartfillia joined the guild.
It was around that time my curse activated and it resulted in Fairy Tail feeling sorrow and hate for the years to come…

Outside of the Fairy Tail guild, Magnolia

It was early in the morning; no one would be up and about for at least two hours. I was meant to go away for three weeks while tracking down an assassin who killed politicians in the capital. Of course, I was stopped by Natsu. He waited for me at the guild entrance and looked as if he'd stayed awake long after midnight or at least not gotten any good sleep. He had dark rings around his eyes, but the look his eyes told me that he wanted to battle me and this time he was going to show me something new, something awesome.

"Natsu, you don't look so good…" I said and put down my backpack.

"Lack of sleep…" He said and rubbed his eye and followed that with a yawn.

"You didn't sleep at all!" Happy said crossing his arms.

"I got sidetracked all right!" Natsu claimed upset.

"Why?" I asked out of concern.

"I'm here for two reasons, first; I'm going to show you a new move I had a hard time learning it as a child and now I've perfected it!" He was proud, I saw that clearly.

"And the seond reason?" I asked as Natsu took a stand.

Suddenly he looked serious and I got the feeling he was about to tell me the reason he looked so tired.

"I got a clue about Igneels whereabouts. I thought you'd want to know, as a fellow… Slayer…"

He was right.

I was a slayer, not a dragon slayer, but a phoenix slayer, a lightning phoenix slayer at that. I could use blue lightning magic among other tricks I had learned from the lightning phoenix Coldmei; the phoenix queen. She was all that I rememberd from my past, before I joined Fairy Tail. But I'd forgotten about it before I'd rememberd it again. My memories were a bit disordered to say the least.

"Good, I, if anyone, know how much you want to find your father, tell me everything when I get back!" I said and I meant it.

"You're going after that assassin from the capital… Ahh, damn it! I WANTED TO GET THAT JOB!" He nagged.

"You would not be able to take him down, Natsu… But if you become a S-class mage I could take you along next time!"

"Don't make it sound so easy!" He yelled, he sounded really pissed. "You know the old man never would let me become a S-class mage so easy! And for the record, I know I can take down that assassin!"

"You're not planning on fallowing me, are you? The master would make you endure 'THAT' if you did!"

Natsu made the face I had seen him do every time I figured out his plan; he tried to look like he didn't know what I was talking about and failed utterly. But I also saw a bit of fear in his eyes. "That" was something Natsu was not fond of. It happened from time to time, but I tried to keep the master from giving out the punishment all too often.

"I was not planning to fallow you… I was just… Eh, OH! THAT'S RIGHT! I'M HERE TO BEAT YOUR ASS!"

Not happening, bro… I thought.

He was definitely there to make me take me with him but even if I said no he would fallow me. I had only one thing to do; I needed to make a bet.

"If I win, promise not to fallow me!" I said readying myself to fight. "Try and find Igneel, when I'm back, you can tell me all about what you found out."

"NO FAIR! You always win and by the way I was already planning to seek out Igneel!" He screamed out.

"But Natsu," said Happy, the blue cat. "You were planning on fallowing Luke before we got that tip about the other salamander."

"Hey, don't go and make up things like that! It's not good for us!" Natsu snapped.

"It's not good for YOU, you mean!" I said and smirked.

"Whatever, I'm here to take you down!" He smiled at me and rushed at me.

A moment ago he was complaining about me always winning and now he told me he was going to take me down… Well, that's Fairy Tails Natsu for sure.

I dodged Natsus attacks, one after the other, but he kept throwing punches at me. Even after the sleepless night he was full of energy. I made sure we got away from the guild, in case Natsu would destroy anything. Luckily this time, he didn't.

Attacking back was just too easy and if I went all out on him, I could really hurt him. He kept me busy for a few minutes until I gave in and hit him in his stomach, resulting in him jumping back a little.

"Damn, I didn't even land a single punch! Ha, no matter, I will show you my attack now…"

He took a stand and exhaled.

"Natsu?" I asked; he hadn't given such an aura before.

He rushed at me with new speed and yelled: "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIENT FLAME!"

Natsus fist took blaze and I felt the magic pouring out of him, soon his body was aflame. The speed and fiery power of the attack chocked me and I barely dodged the attack. Natsu missed me, but if he had hit me I would have taken some real damage for sure, that made me feel partly horrified and partly happy for him.

Natsu had become stronger during the last year and this new attack showed me that he could one day be at the top, or even greater than the Ten Wizard Saints.

I made sure Natsu and I had some distance between us before I attacked him in return.

"LIGHTNING PHOENIX HONED BLITZ!"

My lightning attack flowed through the air and hit Natsu, a direct hit. He didn't scream or fall to the ground. First I was worried, but suddenly he attacked me again.

"FIRE DRAGONS CLAWS!"

This time I blocked the attack. I hold my ground and jumped up in the air before Natsu added another attack. I inhaled and screamed: "LIGHTNING PHOENIX SONG!"

A massive wave of lightning exploded out of my mouth and if Natsu hadn't dodged the attack he would most likely been made a crispy toast.

I decided to end it all with a last attack.

"LIGHTNING PHOENIX SECRET ART: OBLIVIOUS ABYSS THUNDERFALL!"

I focused the magical lightning in one hand and took a hold of Natsus head.

"AICELL!" I yelled and activated the attack.

The whole street lightened up by my attack. Natsu was hit by more lightning bolts then I could count and soon he fell to the ground, oh don't worry, he was just stunned, and made to a crispy toast…

Natsu was like a brother to me and I was just as thrilled to battle him as he was to battle me. But I had a job to do and I was already late.

"I'll beat you one day, just wait and see! I will train and you'll be amazed by my power!" He said after he recovered from my attack.

I responded with a smirk and said: "Perhaps, but until then, I'll beat you over and over again!"

My respond made him rush a last attack that was easy to dodge and landed a light kick in his stomach. Well, it was light according to me, but it made Natsu fly a few meters.

"Damn it!" Natsu yelled as he got up.

"Until the day you can beat me, get strong and try to have some fun along the way!" I said as I was about to leave for another mission.

"Don't lecture me! You are only one year youger than Erza!" He screamed and pointed at me in rage.

"Still, he's more mature than you, Natsu!" Happy said as he descended to the ground. He'd been flying in circles around us while we fought so that Natsu could have a fair fight with me and so that he wasn't in the way of our attacks.

"So it's you guys that are causing such a ruckus here…" A female voice said behind Natsu.

"EEP!" The sound from Natsu made me giggle and Erza hit Natsu in the head when he lunched at her in rage and surprise.

I laughed and smiled at Erza. She was truly beautiful, her scarlet hair and the perfect shaped face features, her eyes and the cute little nose. Her skill in battle was a part of her beauty as well. Damn, I really loved her… (What? As if I'm the first one to fall deeply in love!)

"Have you come to fight me too? We had a match yesterday, remember!? One that you lost…" I said while Natsu rubbed his head, muttering about how annoying Erza was for being so strong.

"I was not focused!" She excused herself. "And that's not way I'm here…" The last part was a bit hard to hear, she mumbled it quiet.

Actually, sometimes I'd forget that I was fighting her and only focus at her stunning beauty, she, of course, took the chance and took me down. She would blame me for not fighting seriously and tease me that I only let her win because I liked her. It was partly true, I loved her, but her beauty was the thing that caught my focus and that made me sloppy. It was unintentional, so she was partly right… (Oh don't give me that look!)

"Then why are you here?" I asked her, grabbing my backpack.

"Master wanted me to come along with you…" She mumbled, her cheeks turning a bit red. Did she blush? She did!

I felt my face pulsing blood and I knew I was blushing.

"I call bullshit!" Natsu proclaimed, lifting his hand up as if he had solved a problem.

BASH!

Natsu got a right-kick in his face by Erza for his remark.

"Shut up!" She cried and Natsu backed off in fear.

"I am here because the master wanted me to accompany Luke and deal with the assassins!"

"Wait," I said. "'Assassins'… Plural?"

"Right you didn't know, the assassin have gained some reinforcements, all weaker than him, but you'll need my help to deal with them." Erza sounded serious, so I trusted her; often I could read her like a book, so I knew when she was lying.

"Alright, then let's go." I smiled at her.

She returned the smile and Happy made a remark that made me and Erza blush even more:

"Nice couple."

"Shut up you damn cat!" I said and looked at Erza, she tried not to look at me, her blushing cheeks made me feel even more embarrassed then I already was.

"Anyway… We… We must be on our way!" Said the redheaded beauty.

"Right!" I replied.

"Oi! Luke!" Natsu yelled as I and Erza made our way out of Magnolia. "I'll tell you about the Salamander when you're back! So don't take too long!"

"I won't! See you!" I saw him smile as he disappeared in the distance.

A bit later, Magnolia

"S-s-so, eh, do-do, do you want to stay in the same room when we stay at the hotel?" Erza asked out of the blue.

"Wha-wha-, ehh, well, ehm… Yeah, ehh, that would be fun, NO! I mean, not fun as in-I mean, eh, I'm sorry!" I blushed in embarrassment and made sure my eyes only focused on the ground.

"No! No! I-, I mean-, you know, so we don't waste money, I mean I'm not cheap!"

"I've never though that! I always thought you were cute!"

Wait... What did I say?! WHY DID I SAY THAT?!

"You…" Erza said asher cheeks grow red.

I bashed my head in the nearest house wall because I let my tongue slip.

"You're bleeding!" Erza yelped.

It was true; out of my forehead was blood slowly pouring out.

"Damn…" I said as I took out a Band-Aid out of my backpack and put it on the wound on my forehead.

"You know I don't need Band-Aids, I got my healing!" I said with a smirk.

"So? Can't I take care of you?" Erza said and leaned in close to my face.

"Erza?" I was about to ask her what she was playing at, but she shut me up with a gentle kiss.

It was nothing special, just a quick little kiss, but it made me completely freeze leaving me staring at Erza who slowly pulled away.

"Sorry, I-, eh, I just… Sorry…" She seemed so timid and cute now, not like her sure and dependable self. "You must think badly of me now…" She looked away and I took hold of her hand.

She stopped and looked at me in surprise. I caressed her cheek and left my hand there and leaned in for another kiss, this time it lasted for quite some time.

"I wouldn't mind being taken care of by you..." I said as we ended the kiss. "I might be strong, but I still got flews... You see them clearer than most, but you have always seen past them..."

"And I will always do so!" She said as she smiled at me.

At the hotel

It took a week to get to the Capital that the assassins used as base.

It was nighttime when we arrived at the hotel. We stayed in the same room and it seemed that we did the wrong impression on the female owner who gave us our key. She made the remark that it was so lovely when young couples shared the same room and made an unbelievable annoying laugh.

"All the drama, the risks and the romance! Oooh, I think I can't take it, you two are just so cute together!" The owner made us a bit embarrassed and did something even worse; she gave us a room with only ONE small bed.

Why? Just, why? I asked myself when we saw the small bed. Sure, two persons could sleep in it without any problems, but only if they slept close to one another. Skin-to-skin close.

"I can take the couch..." I said as I tried to set my mind straight.

"We don't have one…" Erza said and she was right.

I had two options; Sleep in the same bed as Erza Scarlet, my longtime crush or sleep on the floor.
I exhaled.

"I can sleep on the floor…" I was way to timid to sleep in the same bed as Erza, after we had taken baths together as kids I had had problems with doing stuff together with her in such a way, sleeping in the same bed was out of the question!

"No!"

"Wha-" I was interrupted by Erza's embrace.

"I don't mind! You and I can share the bed. I… I want to share it with you." The last part was more of a whisper.

"You mean it?" I asked as I felt my heart skip multiplied beats.

"… Yes…I… I want this." She said as I turned around

I was shocked. She wanted to sleep in the same bed as me.

She cupped my cheeks with her hands and kissed me, more passionately this time and I returned the kiss just as passionately. We continued to kiss as Erza put her arms around my head.

"I love you Luke Drakeson..." She whispered in my ear.

"I love you too, Erza Scarlet…" I whispered back.

"I don't want you to let me go! Never!" She said as she hardened her grip around my head.

"I'll only let you go if someone forces me to, no… Not even then!" I put my arms around her waist and kissed her again.

"And I'll never let you go, remember that!" She whispered.

"I will."

"Good. So then you can stop looking at Mira all the time."

And just like that the nice moment we had, were gone. But I only laughed at it.

"In that case… Do you want me to look more at you?" I asked with a smile, teasing her was a bit fun.

Her face got red and she avoided my eyes.

"Ye-, yes! You can look at me all you want!"

"This is the deal!" I announced, making a really bad joke. "I look at you all you want and to make sure I don't look at other girls I'll blind myself with Natsu's muffler!"

"First; that was a really bad joke. Second; don't be stupid!" She said, punching me in the stomach, it did only hurt a little bit!

"Alright! From now on I'll only look at you and you only! Until I close my eyes forever."

"Cheeky, but that's better!" She said and kissed me again.
