As I have said in previous story chapters the idea of a DxD Laxus story has been on my mind for a while it was just how I wanted to get things started that was my problem, I didn't know if I wanted to pair him with someone or not and who it would be, the first person if I were to pair him would have been Akeno seeing as they both use lightning but then some ideas came floating in and it just started rolling. Just letting you guys know this takes place a few years after the Alveraz war in the Ft universe and most likely will take place during either the second or third season of the DxD universe possible leaning more towards the third and another thing to note is that this chapter was made before chap 486/487 was released so nothing about the white Dragneel was known about the time of writing, anyway hope you enjoy my newest story.
Ever since the war with the Alveraz empire, Zeref and the Spriggan twelve had subsided Fiore had been peacefully and steadily rebuilding itself. The guilds of Fiore had miraculously pulled through in their darkest hour but not without cost, even if both Zeref and Acnologia had been defeated there were countless lives lost in the war and no guild was hit harder with loss than Fairy tail.
Natsu died after he killed Zeref who had revealed they were brothers and that Natsu's life was tied to Zeref's, his death affected everyone in the guild specifically his team, Lisanna, Lucy and Happy who even after a year were still trying to get over their losses. Perhaps the only person who experienced as much loss or maybe just a little more was the 9th guild master of Fairy tail; Laxus Dreyar.
Laxus had lost the two most important people in his life, he was helpless in that time when his grandfather master Makarov and the person who he had decided he would spend his life with after the war Mirajane were killed. He was late, he was always too late to prevent the people he cared about from being hurt and he despised himself for that. Laxus knew not who it was that killed the people most important, when he arrived at the scene he immediately came to the conclusion that it was the only spriggan in sight.
He never bothered learning their name as when he arrived at the scene greeted with that horrific sight every shred of his humanity disappeared in that moment and he completely obliterated the Spriggan leaving no trace of his body behind, nothing but ash. He later learned that this spriggan was actually a descendant of Natsu and Zeref going by the name Lacarde Dragneel and despite his humanity leaving him it was indeed a tough battle as Lacarde was incredibly powerful, but after a gruesome battle Laxus did in fact obliterate his existence.
Currently Laxus sits near the bar with a blank expression on his face, he now longer adorns his large fur lined black coat but instead he wore the same large black and gold trimmed over coat that he wore when he went to rescue his grandfather from the Alveraz empire underneath which he wore his usual purple suite shirt. The only change to his coat was the Wizard Saint emblem embroidered into the back of it.
After the war the council had reformed and no longer needed the wizard saint to hold temporary seats. However, the death of God Serena there was a position left to be filled and in recognition of his skills, power, etc. Laxus was given the title awarding him the first seat as the number one Wizard saint and the title of The Thunder God of Ishgar.
But it did little to improve Laxus' view of himself, he was still too weak in his own opinion and he had not stopped training whenever he could in the last three and a bit years since the war ended. If you were to look at his face you think he was a lot older than just twenty-seven years old, not physically but from the look in his eyes, the look that showed when a man had seen too much in his time.
"Hey master why you so sad?" a high pitched voice asked causing the lightning mage to glance down to the side to see Gray and Juvia's three-year-old daughter Fuya. He could only smile at the child, she was very like he parents, she had Juvia's eyes and face (thank god) and she had Gray's hair and magic or at least she would when she was old enough to use it. Laxus then glanced around at all the other young soon to be mages of the guild, there was Gajeel's and Levy's kid, Elfman and Evergreen's and Alzack and Bisca's second kid. Seeing all the young kids run around playing together was one of the few things that could bring a smile to his face these days.
"Don't worry kid I was just thinking about some council stuff; now why don't you go play with the other kids" the 9th said with a smile and being the gullible child nearly all are at her age, Fuya believed he was telling the truth before she did what she was told and went to play with the other kids.
"You shouldn't lie to kids you now" a feminine voice chided from behind Laxus making him turn to face a now sixteen-year-old Wendy Marvel or well four hundred and twenty-three if you were being specific. At any rate Wendy, in the last three years like she always wanted but never admitted out loud was starting to look more like her Edolas self.
Laxus let out a sigh, "I forgot you were working the bar today, at any rate it's not like she would understand if I told her" Laxus replied causing Wendy to shrug. "I suppose your right but even at that you should at least talk to someone about it, we all lost people Laxus but it's been three years you need to forgive yourself, there was no way you could have known where you were when Eileen/Irene cast Universe One" Wendy said sympathetically placing a hand in the lightning mages shoulder.
Wendy had down more than physically grow in the last three years, while she now did have mastery over her dragon force and was S-class as well as one of the strongest members in the guild she had also grown a lot more mature and confident in herself. No longer was she the self-doubting child of the past who depended on others to protect her and would stutter over her own words in embarrassment, no instead she was a young strong independent woman who took charge of herself and was the idol of many young children both inside and out of the guild. She was also one of the few people allowed to call him by his name the others being the thunder god tribe if they wished, Lisanna, Elfman and he usually allowed the children to call him whatever they wanted which for a while was Mr. or Master Lala due to finding his name hard to pronounce.
"Every time I see you I still can't believe that you used to be that shy little girl I met back on Tenrou Island; time sure does fly" Laxus said in amusement as he leaned his head back staring up to the ceiling. It was then the guild doors opened revealing a cloaked figure walking in and suspiciously enough in the eyes of the dragonslayers, they had no scent.
"What business do you have with Fairy tail?" Laxus asked in an authoritive manner as he got up and walked towards the stranger with Wendy and Gajeel not to far behind. The figure didn't answer instead he continued walking up to Laxus who narrowed his eyes in suspicion as did other members of the guild.
Suddenly the stranger stopped only a few feet away from Laxus and thanks to her hearing being the greatest amongst the dragonslayers present Wendy was able to pick up the figure mumbling some very ominous words causing her to spring into action. "Get out of the way he's about to attack!" the blue haired teen shouted as she launched herself towards the figure, and although their hood hid their face he was gritting his teeth under the hood.
"SILENCE YOU INSOLENT WHELP!" an all too familiar voice that Laxus immediately recognised shouted before a dark purple blast of magic connected with Wendy sending her flying past Laxus. The force from the attack blew the strangers hood down revealing none other than Ivan Dreyar but before said man could assault any one any further his true target beat him to the punch.
"IVAN YOU BASTARD!" with one massive lunge Laxus, his right fist covered in lightning, Laxus gave his father an uppercut the force of which caused his eyes to roll into the back of his head before he was launched through the guild's roof and then some as he continued to soar into the sky followed by a pillar of lightning rising with him. The children in the guild just looked on in awe as this was the first they had seen the guild master use his magic let alone magic that was that powerful, sure their parents showed them magic from time to time but it was always low grade spells and nothing like what they had just witnessed. However, what Laxus didn't notice, or anyone else for that matter was as he had lunged at his father that he passed through an intangible portal.
Laxus only stared at the hole in the roof he created momentarily wondering if his father not that he cared about the old bastard anymore had survived, not that if mattered Laxus really didn't consider him a part of the Dreyar family anymore. The lightning mage then went over to Wendy to give her a hand and see if she was okay. "Hey you okay?" Laxus asked as he held his hand out for Wendy to take. "Yeah I'm okay the attack wasn't really that strong, thanks" she replied giving him a smile as she took his hand both unaware of what was about to transpire. "Damn that Ivan how the hell did he get out of prison?" the lightning mage grumbled out before he started feeling strange, as if his body weighed less. It was only Laxus who was feeling this but Wendy as well.
"I feel strange"
"Me too, did he cast some sort of spell?"
"I heard him mutter some stuff that's why I attacked maybe that was a spell"
Both Wendy and Laxus exchanged their questions and answer before they began inspecting their bodies, physically they could see nothing wrong, their magic didn't feel off or strange so what could it be. It was at this point everyone turned to a celestial spirit mage when they heard a glass shatter before she started walking towards the pair.
"Lucy what's the matter?" Wendy asked worryingly when she saw the look of what one could describe as horror on her friend's face. "This feeling it couldn't be, it's just like Eclipse" the stellar spirit mage said causing everyone's eyes to widen. "What do you mean?" Laxus asked curiously not getting what she meant. "I can feel a magic very similar to Eclipse emanating from you both" Lucy revealed causing a few gasps of shock to resound throughout the guild.
"There's no way…you don't think Ivan did this?" Wendy asked Laxus, panic evident in her voice; it was understandable in the sense that neither she or he knew what the result of this magic would be if it was in anyway similar to Eclipse, they could be transported to the past, future, to a different world or possible even be erased from existence. "It's possible even if only slightly, but even if that was the case the spell should have only affected me…unless!" Laxus answered before he came to a sudden realisation.
"Nobody touch me or Wendy, this stuff spreads!" Laxus shouted suddenly scaring everyone in the process, "Sorry Wendy this is my fault, whatever this magic is it has affected you because of me" Laxus apologized but before Wendy could tell him it was alright their body's started glowing "What the?" said sky dragonslayer shouted as she stared at her hands in shock, it was like how their bodies looked when they were returning to Earthland from Edolas. Did this mean she was being transport back to Edolas or another world.
"Oi Lucy what's happening?" Laxus asked now sounding more panicked, Lucy pretty much had the same thought as Wendy when she saw their bodies glowing, "I don't know but if I had to guess your most likely being dragged into another world or reality, I don't know how to stop this; if there was a way to do so using celestial spirit magic or any other for that matter I'm sure my spirits would have told me by now" Lucy tried to explain calmly but that failed miserably as she and Levy were rattling each other's brain's for ideas of how to prevent this.
"What so we're just supposed to let this happen!" Wendy shouted at the two bookworms, "We're sorry but we can't find anything, the best we can probably do is try to bring you back from wherever or whenever you're sent to but even then we don't know if we'll be able to do that" Levy stated as she frantically flipped through book after book like she had been doing for the last five minutes causing Laxus to let out a frustrated sigh.
"Well if that's our best option then Erza you're the temporary master in my absence, if I don't return then fill Gildarts in and give him the position he'll understand" the lightning mage ordered getting a nod of compliance from the redhead before the glowing of both his own and Wendy's bodies intensified. "Wendy!" Carla shouted out in worry as she flew towards her long-time partner and friend seeing her body starting to disappear.
"No Carla stay back, there no telling what's going to happen to us so please stay back" Wendy pleaded her best friend causing the white feline to stop in its tracks, "The same goes for you lot" Laxus said in a serious tone referring to the thunder god tribe when he saw them all stepping forward. "But Laxus what will we do without you, there can't be a thunder god tribe without a thunder god to follow" Freed shouted in an emotional mess causing Laxus to laugh, "Jeez you need to calm down, you were all talented individual mages before I found you; I'm sure you're all very capable of doing the same at this point in your lives" Laxus said in amused tone any sounds of panic gone from his voice.
By this time a little more than half of Laxus' body had disappeared while almost three quarters of Wendy's was gone. The rest of the time was spent giving what most of the members would assume false hope to the two disappearing mages both of whom only took it at face value and didn't really believe that there was a chance they would be brought back.
"Well just do you best guys we'll see you soon" Laxus said before both his head and Wendy's finally disappeared leaving a deathly silent guild before a few of the members burst into tears at the prospect of never seeing their comrades again.
With Laxus
The bright light that had invaded his vision blinding him momentarily had subsided, he lay on the hard ground beneath him but he was alone, Wendy was nowhere in sight. Opening his eyes Laxus was greeted by the strange sight of a red sky above him, not once in his life had he seen a red sky nor did he remember being outside.
"Wendy, where are you? Wendy?" Laxus asked groggily as he forced himself but much to his worry Wendy wasn't in sight. Taking in his surroundings Laxus saw that he was surrounded in a canyon or a ravine of some sort. "Where the hell am I?" the slayer asked himself but he looked over himself for any injury.
Surprisingly there was none, his clothes weren't even ripped just a little dirty, he then frantically checked his pocket for a few things, much to his relief they were still there. Removing his hand from the pocket he opened it revealing a sapphire gemstone and a wizard saint pin.
The wizard saint pin was the very same one that belonged to his grandfather as it bore the number five on it referring to Makarov's rank. The gemstone was the exact gemstone Mirajane always wore around her neck, when he had found it he opted to give it to Lisanna and Elfman but they both convinced him to keep saying it would have been what Mira wanted.
Placing the items back in his pocket he figured it would be best to try a locate Wendy before something else did as there was no guarantee that she had woken up yet. Sniffing the air a few times Laxus found a multitude of smells he had never come across before, some were a mix of things and some were similar to smells he had come across before, the most prominently disturbing of which was the smell of several scents similar to that of demons.
Soon he located Wendy's scent but the demon like scents weren't too far from it "Ugh I don't like this, something is wrong with this whole situation; I better hurry" Laxus muttered to himself before he disappeared turning into a streak of lightning which quickly made its way through the ravine.
With Wendy
Wendy had awoken to strange surroundings, as he eyes fluttered open she could see forestry, glimpses of a red sky and the faint glow of fire. "Where? Where am…huh" she asked herself sleepily but stooped mid-sentence when she realised something was preventing her from getting up causing her to look down only to see a rope around her mid-section most likely tying her up against a tree. "What when?" she started to say in a more frantic manner, she didn't remember getting caught by someone and having her arms and legs bound.
"Oh looky here, our little toy is awake" when she heard those words she wanted to vomit, the voice sounded so disgusting and his choice of words just accentuated that. Turning to the source of the voice Wendy saw a group of men varying in size and height as well as magic power although nothing too dangerous. But it was the shortest one in the middle her attention was focused on as he just stalked right up to her as if her owned her.
"Who are, what did you do to me!" Wendy growled out causing the man she assumed to be the leader to snicker before placing a hand on Wendy's cheek and smiling evilly "Nothing yet, and I am just humble bandit, with these my merry men" He said sarcastically before he stroked Wendy's cheek making her yet again want to vomit. "If you think you can touch me so freely you're sorely mistaken!" Wendy said in a threatening manner once again making the man laugh. "Really and how do you suppose you're going to make me sorry with your hands and feet tied up?" the man soon got his answer but in a very unexpected form.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!"
Much to the man's surprise Wendy shot a large powerful twister of air from her mouth that unsurprisingly collided with the man before sending him flying while taking out several of 'his merry men' before finally crashing through a couple of trees leaving them in a very bad way. "Like that" Wendy spoke smugly, but she wouldn't be smug for long as she received a punch to the face resulting in a nasty bruise. The force of the punch disorientated her enough to allow for one of the other men to get a make shift gap over her mouth.
"You won't be pulling any shit like that again bitch; despite it being a shame to bruise that pretty face of yours it doesn't really matter seeing as we won't be paying much attention to that" this time a large muscular man spoke in a lecherous way making Wendy's eyes widen at what he was implying. Luckily a certain Lightning mage had heard the echo of Wendy's roar and instantly increased his speed towards the location.
Wendy continued to struggle in a desperate attempt to free herself from the ropes or at least enough to get her hands into a position where she could cast a half assed arms spell. But she only panicked more and more as the men got closer all of which with perverted looks on their face. "Somebody anybody help me"
As if a god answering a prayer Laxus slammed down into the ground landing on one knee between Wendy and the bandits who were stunned at seeing a person materialise out of lightning not knowing if such magic existed, but they quickly recomposed themselves as Laxus got up to his feet his expression shadowed.
"Well what's this, has big brother come to play her….o?" the man started but paused in hesitation at the aura the blond in front of him was giving of, it felt like death itself. Laxus immediately upon arrival seeing both Wendy's state and the looks on the men's faces had already figured out what was going to happen, Wendy could tell from the frightening aura Laxus was giving off that this wasn't going to end well for the bandits.
"Scum like you doesn't deserve to live!" Laxus had yet to reveal his expression but his voice was deadly serious, although he was holding back the amount of magic power he was giving off was suffocating for the bandits. Dark clouds began to gather overhead, before they violently started spewing out lightning in random directions, "Fusion Bolt" it was just a mutter but it was followed by a colossal tower of lightning raining down from the heavens before it struck the group of bandits who screamed in pain until there was silence. However, Laxus purposely left one alive to get some answers…for now.
Releasing Wendy, he checked her over for any other injuries apart from the bruise on her face, "Thanks for helping me, it made me want to vomit knowing what they planned to do to me" Wendy said in a quaky voice as the reality of the situation that if Laxus hadn't shown up then 'that' would have happened. "Well as your Friend and Guild master it's only natural that I destroy and save you from those who would bring you harm" he smiled at the teen before turning his attention to the remaining living member of the bandit group "Now".
Walking over to his downed, convulsing and paralysed body, Laxus picked the bandit's body up before slamming him against a tree trunk making him shake like a leaf. "You're going to tell me everything I want to know before you die, if you don't tell me then torture is your second choice" Wendy had never heard Laxus talk like this before It actually frightened her.
Ever since the war Laxus had once again changed it was almost like a part of his old self she had been told about had merged with his new reformed personality. She could understand his willingness to kill, hell it was necessary in some circumstances during the war with Zeref, if she had to for the sake of others she most likely would have taken someone's life if it was absolutely necessary.
"O-okay I'll tell you anything" the man said in a terrified tone causing Laxus to smirk before he took a breath in and let it back out as he tightened his grip on the bandit's shirt "Okay first off, where are we? what world is this? what year is it? What's the currency? and finally…"
"What the hell are you?"
Chapter end
There we go, maybe not the greatest introduction chapter I've ever done but it just kind wrote itself that way. Now before anyone asks yes the bandits were actually devils or more specifically a band of stray devils. Now pairing wise this story is still undecided and before you vote in your reviews I'm saying this now, a Laxus Wendy pairing is completely off the table, why?
Simple, age difference; realistically Wendy is only Sixteen in this story and Laxus is an entire eleven years older than her plus even just thinking about that pairing and how to write it is just too strange. Other than that there I can't imagine many other characters aside from Koneko that would cause a problem age wise. Usually I'll pick the pair that has the most votes, that I think I could write good chapters about and all-round basic chemistry so get thinking and let me now. Power wise for this story it's undecided how strong Wendy is, in the fairy tail guild with her current power level and skill she'd be ranked most likely second, third if Mira was still alive because after reading the latest chapter of the manga I'd rank Mira as the strongest female in the guild now.
