Let me just put a little AN right here to clear some things up… This is my first story EVER, so I expect flames… But only flames that can help me improve my writing. Another thing, I don't own Fairy Tail and all that stuff. Note, this story will be told from the point of view from Onyx, my OC starting at the end of this chapter. I would like review to improve my writing. Next chapter I will put a break-down of the characters (appearance, personality, more about their magic) as well as a shorter chapter.
Keep in mind that I do not have a set schedule for this story, so updates will be sporadic at best. I hope you enjoy this, or at the very least don't hate it!
The Slayer of Nothing: Chapter 1
Early on in her life, Nashi Dragneel learned to expect certain things… She learned that her father, Natsu, was about as mature as a a 10 year old, with her uncle Gray being about the same. She could always expect her mother, Lucy, to straighten out her father and Juvia to do the same to her uncle. She also expected her Aunt Erza to come home to the guild every few days with wild stories involving her and her husband Jellal. She could expect Master Laxus to scold her whenever she burned down a building or two on a job. She could also expect her friends, Ultear Fullbuster, Silas Dreyar, Edward Fernandes, Onyx Blackthorn, and Katherine Redfox to be by her side when things got tough.
Nashi, like her father, was able to use Fire Dragon Slayer magic, Ultear had a combination of both her mother and father's magic, giving her the ability to control both water and ice. Silas was a bit of a strange case, as he had inherited his mother's Take Over magic and could use nearly all of his forms flawlessly. Edward could Requip to a limited degree (weapons) and had the use of his father's Heavenly Body magic. Katherine was an Iron Dragon Slayer through and through to the pride of her father, she however received her mother's height, much to his chagrin. And that leaves us with Onyx… Nashi's oldest and best friend. He was found beaten and bloodied while wandering the streets of Magnolia. He has very unique magic… He is know by his full title as Black Wing Onyx, The Oblivion Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail.
This, however is merely an introduction. Here is where the story truly begins.
Nashi hated mornings, as evidenced by the collection of melted and smashed alarm clocks thrown out every month. But if there is one thing she loved, it would be breakfast. Running down the stairs of her house, she shouted "Mom! Save me the bacon before dad eats it all"
Smiling, Lucy quickly grabbed the now half eaten plate from Natsu, who whined "C'mon Luce. I'm hungry"
"Well so is Nashi, after all it's a big day for her today." Replied Lucy.
Bursting into the room, Nashi tackled the plate of bacon from her mother's outstretched hand while quickly mumbling "thanks" before sprinting out of the front door to hurry to the guild.
Sighing, Lucy watched her 17 year old daughter run off to her home away from home. Grinning, Natsu looked at Lucy and asked "Why is Nashi so excited today? She didn't even eat the fire off the stove like usual."
Facepalming, Lucy looked at him with a tired expression "Today's the day when Onyx comes back from his mission! How could you forget?"
Natsu replied with "Well it's not like it was being advertized around town"
Sighing, Lucy held up a small flyer that read "All Fairy Tail mages should be notified of Onyx's return to hold a party - Master Laxus"
Quickly burning the paper, Natsu gave his wife the most innocent look he could muster while saying "I've been busy fighting the Ice Princess, no way would I have time to read a flyer!"
Lucy mumbled "I swear, if it wasn't for me, you would have starved to death or literally lost your head… Why is it that Nashi had to inherit your forgetfulness?"
Running past the canal, Nashi glanced around the city. No matter how long she's lived here, she could never be amazed by the massive monolith of the guild hall's central tower. Continuing her sprint, lost in her thoughts, she ran directly into Ultear, knocking the poor blue-haired girl into the canal. "Sorry Ul" Nashi said.
"No worries" replied Ultear, "It's just water, I'm practically made of it"
"Still, I should have watched where I was going" replied Nashi, somewhat bashfully.
Ultear responded with "It's understandable considering this will be the first time in four years that we'll all be together again"
"Yeah" Exclaimed Nashi "I can't wait to see Onyx again!"
Back at the guild, Silas, Edward, and Katherine were wondering what was taking the two girls so long.
"Ultear I would expect to be late, what with her overprotective mother and all, but you would think that Nashi would have been the first one here to see her friend" Sighed a tired Silas
"Well, I could see Nashi sleeping in like usual, you know that the apocalypse could be happening and she would just keep on nappin'" Said Katherine
"Come on Kitty" replied Edward "She's not as bad as you"
Slugging Edward in the jaw, Katherine yelled out "I told you to stop calling me Kitty, my dad does it enough with his obsession with cats!"
Suddenly the door burst open and Nashi and Ultear ran in panting.
"Sorry about being late! I accidentally threw Ul into the canal and overslept and we were talking, and sorry" Exclaimed Nashi.
"No worries" Replied Laxus while observing Erza holding her unconscious son "You're here before Onyx so you didn't miss the party"
(Lets's just put a time skip of two hours here)
Grinning, I looked down from the hill at Magnolia. Three years, huh? Well, looks like it did when I left, so I guess not much has changed. Pulling my long black cloak around me and pulling up my hood, I made my way into town. Looking around at the people, I caught quite a few stares, even from the ones who knew me, I cut an imposing figure standing at 6'3 with a jet black coat, black armor, and dangerous looking gauntlets (think Daedric Gauntlets from Skyrim).
As I made my way to the guild hall, I noticed that I had not seen anyone from the guild which was odd as they should have been out destroying something on accident. Standing in front of the massive doors, I hesitated What if they don't remember me, what if they've changed into people I hate, what if I've changed into someone they hate? Quickly catching a familiar scent of smoke and roses, I grinned. After all, Nashi would still be my friend, we made a promise t oeach other and if her mother is anything to go by, Nashi is serious when she promises.
Steeling myself on instinct, I opened the door to be greeted with a loud "SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME!" from the guild right as the doors closed. Before I could react, a pink and black blur slammed into me, propelling me into the now closed doors. Looking down, I saw a grinning Nashi quickly jump off me with a blush.
"Ow, was that really necessary?" I managed to say
Laughing, Nashi said "Yeah, after all, it's not all the time that someone comes home after three years."
I watched as Silas, Kat, and Ed walked over to where I was now standing. Watching all my friends would never get old, after all, they were my only family.
"Yo Onyx" said Edward as he approached me "Want to spar again for old times sake?"
Looking at him I replied with "Tomorrow, after all, I just got back."
Laughing, Silas put a hand on my shoulder and said "Well I for one think that you should tell us about your adventures into the wilds of Fiore"
Grinning, Kat sat down on a table and said "Yeah, tell us how you've been. Did you meet anyone interesting?"
"I agree with the Kitten here" replied a smug Ultear, watching as Kat glared at her
Speaking up, Nashi said to me "Come on, tell us before any of the adults get drunk!"
Looking at the rest of the partying guild members, I said "Okay. Let's just go outside in the back to avoid and thrown tables… I still remember the carnage of drunk Fairy Tail…"
Grimacing my friends and I made our way to a picnic area in the back of the guild, overlooking the water. "So" I said "You guys want to hear about the Decade Quest, even though it was literally 'find this cave and get a relic'?" Watching them all nod I began to recount my adventure.
