Prologue: The beginning and to Hargeon: x784
In my memories, I don't really remember my parents' faces; I remember the time I spent with my brother. While not brothers of blood, we were raised together like real brothers should be.
Natsu Dragneel and Sting Eucliffe aren't your average boys in the world of Earth Land, but are special in the magic they were taught. They're known as Dragon Slayers, a type of mage who are gifted with the talent to defeat dragons. Raised by the Dragons Igneel and Weissiogia, the two boys were taught Fire Dragon and White Dragon magic, making them Fire and White Dragon Slayers respectably. The two boys spent a lot of time with their Dragons, learning magic and everything under their teachings, that is until the fated day: July 7th, x777. Their foster parents disappeared, along with other Dragons who teaching their growing Dragons Slayers at the time. Gajeel Redfox. Wendy Marvell, Rogue Cheney, and a few unknown Dragon Slayers watched as their Dragons left them to fend for themselves. It was also the same date as a well-known Celestial Spirit mage's passing. Natsu and Sting, with no longer parents to watch over them, decided to finally join a guild. They remembered a guild name their parents mentioned, its name is Fairy Tail. Their travels took them mostly through most of Fiore until they came across a small, old man who was the guild master to the Fairy Tail Guild. Asking him to take them to the guild, the old man gladly did so.
July 7, x777
"So this is Fairy Tail?" asked a boy with pink colored hair. He looked up at the building with black colored eyes and a big smile on his face. He wore a red long sleeved shirt with tan shorts that reached his knees and brown shoes. Around his neck was a white scarf decorated with white scale like patterns. On his left shoulder was a tan knapsack that carried everything the Dragon Slayer had with him.
"It's such a big place." spoke a boy a year younger than the salmon colored boy who had short blond hair. He look at the building with his blue eyes widen. He wore a long sleeved blue shirt with a gray vest and dark shorts that reached his knees and black shoes. On his right shoulder was a blue knapsack that carried everything he needed.
"That's right, this will be your new home as members of our guild." replied a short elder man with white hair with bald dome on the center. He wore a white shirt with a black emblem in the front with an orange hoodie over it. On his feet were blue and orange striped jester shoes and an orange and blue striped jester hat. He turned from the guild hall and look to the two boys, "Why don't you take a look around, and speak to me if you two want to be full-fledged members."
"Yes sir." The two boys replied kindly as they ran right in excitedly. Makarov beamed at them and thought to himself, 'I never thought in all my wildest dreams I meet two Dragon Slayers. That makes three in our mix adding Laxus, despite being an artificial Dragon Slayer.'
Once entering inside, the two were greeted to the everyday life of Fairy Tail. There was talking, laughing, and most of all drinking and smoking. But everyone was having a good time; even some of younger ones like them were enjoying themselves. The two boys kept close together taking in what was to be their new home. The two brothers came to one of the tables where a boy a year older than the pink haired boy with raven black hair was sitting in a relaxed position not really wearing clothes except a pair of blue boxers.
"Hey you two are you lost or something?" the raven haired boy asked coolly.
"Gray your clothes?!" a young girl with dark brown hair and a yellow dress down to her ankles said in a warning voice. The raven haired boy known as Gray looked down and exclaimed in shock of being half naked.
The pink haired boy and blond haired boy turned their heads from the two kids, the latter placing his hands behind his head in a relax way and remarked out of nowhere so nonchalantly, "What is this, a pervert show?"
Gray's black eyes narrowed in anger as he went up to the pink haired boy's face with teeth clenched in anger while the pink haired boy did the same, his own teeth resembling that of a canine.
"I am not a pervert, pinky!" Gray retorted angrily.
"Who you calling pinky, you droopy eyed pervert!?" the pink haired boy retorted back his teeth still bared.
"You wanna go?!" Gray demanded, gearing up to fight.
"Bring it then!" the pink haired boy declared, gearing up to fight too.
Before they could rumble (while the blond haired brother watches on ready to cheer for his older brother), someone intervened and bash the two feuding boys' heads together making them stop fighting in an instance and deal with big headache they were given. As they held their heads in pain, a girl a year older than the three boys spoke with a strict stern voice, "There will be no fighting here, alright?"
She had scarlet red hair that was tied into a braid in the back of her head and wore a white dress with a red tie around her neck and what seems to be armor covering up the upper part of her body. On her feet were black boots and lastly on her belt was a silver bladed sword. Her expression was complete serious, looking at them with an angry glare.
"But Erza…" Gray complained but the scarlet haired girl look to Gray with an anger stare in her black eyes. Gray immediately was silent and sat there looking at her with legs crossed on the ground.
"You two are you new members?" the girl responded looking to the sitting pink haired boy and the standing blond haired boy.
"Um, yes ma'am." The blonde haired boy replied a bit terrified of the girl, "My name's Sting Eucliffe. And that's my brother Natsu Dragneel."
"Okay, Natsu… Sting…" Erza repeated before placing her hands to her hips, "Listen up; in Fairy Tail we all treat each and every one of us like a family. So there shouldn't be any fighting from the three of you, got it?" she added.
"Yes…" the three replied heads lowered in shame.
"She's right you know." said another voice, (a woman's) coming up to them too. She from Natsu and Sting's point of view, was a young woman of average height with short dark purple hair and black eyes. She wore a red shirt that exposed part of her waist with a brown coat over it and black pants and black shoes. From Natsu's and Sting's viewpoint, there was no way she was a married woman or had a child.
"While we aren't all related with the same blood, we are still a family. And family must look after their nakama no matter what." she continued with a smile and a hand to her left hip.
"Nakama?" the two boys repeated confused. They remembered hearing that work from their dragons, but it's the first time they wanted to know what that word really means.
"It means friends or comrades, remember it well, the both of you." Erza added looking to both of them.
"And Gray…" the woman added as well her eyes staring at the half naked boy like daggers ready to strike, "Put some clothes on, that's disrespectful to our new members!"
"Yes Ur, right away!" Gray stammered frantically, leaving the one named Ur with Erza, Natsu, and Sting. Sting and Natsu stared blankly at the speeding raven haired boy before looking back at Ur. Natsu felt like wanting to laugh, but he was still puzzled by the raven haired boy.
"Does he do that a lot?" asked Natsu.
Ur sighed, placing a hand to her forehead, "All the time, don't know why he keeps it up."
Natsu and Sting look to one another and started to laugh, while Erza smiled her arms folded and Ur joined in with a soft laugh too.
After meeting Erza and Ur, Natsu and Sting met and greeted each and every members of the Guild; many were shocked that they were Dragon Slayers and were learning this lost magic. Natsu and Sting were astonished to meet them, but were a little taken aback from all the questions about their dragons. They answered their questions about them, but asked in returned did they know where the Dragons are. But alas, no one in the guild has seen a Dragon or if they really existed. But in the end, Natsu and Sting enjoyed the new experience of being in a guild, of course dealing the countless fights they had with Gray and Erza breaking them up. The brothers now decided to meet with Makarov in his office and become official members to the guild.
"So, did you enjoy Fairy Tail?" the elder master asked the two boys.
"It's great!" Natsu said excited, "Gray's a bit annoying; Erza's scary, but Ur and everyone else are so cool!"
"I agree with Natsu." Sting said smiling, "We want to be members of Fairy Tail!"
"That's the spirit, welcome!" Makarov smiled shaking hands of the two Dragon Slayers.
After getting their stamps placed on their person: Natsu's (a red Fairy Tail mark) on his right shoulder and Sting's (a white Fairy Tail mark) on his left shoulder, it was on this day that Natsu and Sting were now members of Fairy Tail.
About two weeks after joining, my brother and I met another Dragon Slayer who like us lost his parent the same day as us did. He's really kind and caring for a Dragon Slayer like us. Plus, his sword skills are impressive.
Two weeks after Sting and Natsu joined Fairy Tail; another Dragon Slayer joined the guild and like the brothers, was found by Makarov. His name was Luke Kurenai, the Sun Dragon Slayer. He was ten years old, the same age as Natsu. He had medium length black hair and blue eyes, along with light colored skin. His attire was really normal for a Dragon Slayer: dark blue jeans, short black boots, a white t-shirt, and a black coat that reached down to his waist. On his hip were two blades on either side of his hip, both a different color. (A/N 1)
Luke stood in front of the bar with Makarov where all the members were anxious to hear about this new boy. Natsu, Sting, Gray (who were just finishing a fight that Erza broke up) looked curiously at the boy too. One of the members, a young blond haired boy with a lightning bolt scar was watching too. He folded his arms, but kept his gaze on him too. Ur placed a hand to her chin and thought curiously at the boy. Two of the younger generation, one with short brunette hair and the other with short blue hair were watching with interest with the scarlet haired Erza.
"Everyone," said Makarov to the guild members, "I like to welcome you to our newest member. Why don't you introduce yourself, young man?" he added, looking to Luke with a smile.
Luke step forward from the master and cleared his throat, looking at everyone in the guild hall.
"My name is Luke Kurenai, my magic is Sun Dragon Slaying magic." he admitted with a smile.
The whole guild was silent upon Luke's reveal, many eyes frozen after those words. Luke looked confused at their oddness, wondering why they are reacting like that. Even Natsu and Sting were shocked that another Dragon Slayer would exist and they were meeting him face to face. Everyone started to whisper amongst themselves, but Luke wasn't too nervous about this and remained calm.
"Another Dragon Slayer, so that's three so far in the guild now." whispered one of the members.
"Is he like Natsu and Sting, lost his parent?" asked one of the members named Macao, a young man with blue hair and a blue shirt.
"I guess so, if he's like those two and lost his parent the same day, so then it's the same day." whispered a young man with sandy brown hair sitting with Macao named Wakaba.
"What was the date again?" asked the blue short haired girl with a yellow dress that reached down to her knees named Levy.
"July 7th, x777." replied Erza.
"I don't know about that, but he does seem nice." said Cana taking a drink of water.
Luke watched all the eyes on him, but smiled sheepishly at the attention. Once his introduction was over, Luke sat with Natsu, Sting, Erza, Gray, Levy, and Cana at one of the picnic benches enjoying lunch as he told his follow younger members the story of his life with his dragon, before and after.
"I use to live in a village a few years ago before I met Shinryu." Luke explained with looks of confusion from the group. (A/N 2)
"Shinryu?" asked Natsu in a puzzled tone.
"The Sun dragon," Luke assured the pink haired Dragon Slayer who nodded understandingly.
"When I was eight, my village was attacked by this dark guild. I'm not sure of the guild, but their magic was incredible, with only three members could do so much damage." Luke continued making everyone gasp in shock. "I was hiding in the rubble seeing the three talking and they took some girl with them. I'm not sure what happened to her, but she could be dead by now with them." he added before gripping his hands tightly together. "I hate Dark Guilds; I hate them for taking whatever lives they please. One day I'll find them and make sure they won't take any more lives like my parents..." (A/N 3)
"Luke..." Cana and Gray said softly, knowing how it feels to no longer have a parent or for Gray's case, parents.
"After leaving my ruin hometown, I wondered through Fiore when I was found by Shinryu, the Sun Dragon. He took me in and raised me like a real father and son relationship. He taught me Sun Dragon Slaying magic and gave me these." he took from his waist the two blades and places them on the picnic table. The first blade was a pitch black sword (once placed on the table was only ¼ of the long table). It had a black handle connected to a hand guard that is longer on the right side. Attached to this elongated area of the hand-guard is part of its obsidian blade. The blade was completely black like the rest of the sword and said blade is outlined in a light gray. A small cross is embroided on the flat of the blade, just beneath the tip. The second blade is an aqua-colored sword made of crystalline ingot, a material (Levy picked up the blade to get a closer look) was super rare. Its grip was a darker color than the rest of the blade and is completely straight. It leads up to a hilt that is exactly perpendicular to the grip and is designed to look like a pair of conjoined dagger blades. At the center of the hilt is a large aquamarine gem. The blade itself was a deep aqua color; the base of the blade has a light-aqua attachment that causes the blade to have a natural indentation when one traces its length due to the angle that the attachment bends at. "The black sword Dark Repulsor and the shining sword Elucidator, these were my presents before he was gone." (A/N 4)
Erza raised a right eyebrow looking at the two swords with interest. "So, how good are you in wielding a blade?" she asked calmly.
Luke's face turned a light pink and smiled sheepishly again, "I am an okay wielder from my practice."
Erza unfolded her arms and smiled at the raven haired Dragon Slayer, "How we have a little sparing match so I see your skills, Luke. If you don't mind, that is."
The boys and Cana gasped in shock; it was a rare sight for Erza to challenge a newcomer to a fight, let alone a Dragon Slayer. Erza seem confident to fight Luke and see what he was made of. Natsu's black eyes sparked in interest to see the fight with Erza, but Gray folded his arms in annoyance on the reveal of the fight.
"This stinks, why does the newbie get to fight Erza when he just joined?" he asked rudely.
Erza turned her attention to the raven haired boy, a dark glare in her eyes adding to the evil aura around her body and the red gleam in her eyes. "You got a problem with that?" as Gray started to panic looking at Erza and hid behind Sting and Natsu, his head at the girl.
Luke chuckled at the Ice mage and look to Erza with a big smile on his face, "I accept your challenge, Erza Scarlet."
Erza smiled calmly at the Sun Dragon Slayer and the two left the picnic table and went outside the guild, Natsu, Sting, Gray, Cana, and Levy following suit to watch the fight. Erza and Luke stood facing one another in front of the guild, looking at one another with serious looks on their faces. The breeze passed through the two mages, the wind blowing the hem of Erza's dress and the hem of Luke's jacket. The rest of their clothes blowing in the wind too as a cloud of dust past too, the boys, Levy, and Cana watched with eyes glued to the battle that was rearing to start.
"I want to see your full potential Luke, so come at with me with everything you have to offer." Erza said to the Sun Dragon Slayer.
"Okay," Luke replied, taking his two swords from his waist, "I'll give you everything I've got."
Erza kept her smile and took her silver bladed sword from her hip and held it in her left hand ready to fight as well. Luke griped the hand guards tightly in his palms as he stood sideways holding both swords facing down to the ground.
(Cue Erza's theme-Fairy Tail Original Soundtrack 1)
"Here I come!" Luke exclaimed his blades still pointed to the ground and dashed his way to Erza, ready to strike. Erza, (taking her blade in her hand), guarded the first blade from Luke and duck down to swing her blade at his feet. Luke leaped back from her and slid his feet on the cobblestone ground; his blades digging the ground while he finally regains his footing. Erza ran her way to Luke with her sword still in her hand and began to swing at Luke while the Sun Dragon Slayer swung back to counter the requip mage with his two blades. Their blades strike at one another with each blow creating sparks hitting the silver, black, and aqua blades. Natsu, Sting, Gray, Levy, and Cana stood with excitement as they watch the many blows made by the swords wielders. They finally crossed swords, Luke and Erza's eyes meeting one another with seriousness in them as they leaped back from each other.
"Whoa, I never thought someone would last longer than Natsu in a fight with Erza." Sting said amazed with Natsu looking at his brother with annoyance in his black eyes as he frowned at him. Did his brother really love pouring salt in the wounds?
"I am impressed so far, but I want to see more this boy's strength." said Cana her hands behind her back with Levy and the boys nodding too.
Back with Erza and Luke, the two mages stared at one another, panting slightly while they looked at one another. Erza took her hand to her hip and smiled at the boy, the raven haired Dragon Slayer catching his brother and redraw his blades back to his waist.
"I must say, you're pretty good, Luke. I've been a member of Fairy Tail for a year now and I've never had a good challenge from one of my friends." she smiled still holding her blade in her other hand, "Ready to keep going?"
"You bet, I'm not backing down just yet." Luke said, holding his arms spread out from his body. The boys, Cana, Levy, and Erza watched in confusion as to what Luke was doing. A loud slurping sound was then heard in the battlefield and it was coming from Luke. He was sucking the air, or better yet the yellow streams of light coming from all around him. The Fairy Tail mages were shocked; he really was a Dragon Slayer after all. He was eating the sunlight from the sun, the bright sun in the clear blue sky above them. His stomach was inflating like a balloon as he sucked in more sunlight. Finally he stopped and his stomach deflated then lowering his head to the ground. He looked up at the scarlet requip mage with toothy grin on his face wiping his mouth with his hand, "Now that I've eaten, I'm rearing to go." (A/N 5) a
Luke clapped his hands together as a yellow magic circle appeared under his feet making his features slightly brighter as swirls of yellow magical energy circled around him, "Here goes!" taking a big breath, his cheeks were puffed full of air while a yellow magic circle appeared in front of his face as he exclaimed, "Sun Dragon Roar!" and from his expelled breath he let out a stream of yellow light like a stream of flames that traveled from his mouth and through the magic circle as it went it's way to Erza, The scarlet haired requip mage leaped her way from the breath attack dodging it in the air. She landed back on the ground as the breath attack went pass her where she stood breaking up the ground. The five mages looked in shock at the breath attack's damage and were impressive of Erza's impressive maneuver to dodge the attack.
Erza's back was turned from the Sun Dragon Slayer, not realizing that Luke was readying for another attack. Luke leaped into the air with his arms behind his back as yellow light ignited in his hands. The yellow engery then took the shape of the two twirling streams of yellow light appearing on his hands as he exclaimed, "Sun Dragon Wing Attack!" and crash his arms stretched attack like mighty wings in a x formation at Erza. Erza dodged the attack as his wing attack hit the cobblestone breaking it up in the process. The group was still impressed by his strength as the raven haired Dragon Slayer took out Elucidator from his hip and attacked Erza. The scarlet haired mage sidestep from his sword and while his back was facing her, she kicked him to the ground as he toppled like a rolling log. He cried out in pain as he finally stop rolling, his back turned and his aqua colored sword to the ground. Luke panted slightly, feeling the ache of pain from Erza's boots to his back as a battle cry caught his attention. Erza was leaping her way to him her sword still in her hand, her red hair blowing upwards as she fell down. Reacting quickly to Erza's voice, he grabbed his fallen aqua colored sword and guarded as Erza's came leaping at him. Erza's blade crossed with Luke's, the sparks flying from the two swords, the raven haired Dragon Slayer grunting in pain at the pain he was feeling from the weight of Erza. He gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his face as it seems Erza was ready to break through his guard. Natsu and the others were hanging in suspense, wondering how Luke would escape the deadlock he was in.
'Damn it, if this keeps up, she might hit me. I've got to find a way to get her away from me.' Luke thought his eyes strained, but then it hit him. He had the perfect counterattack.
Over by Natsu, Sting, Gray, Cana, and Levy, they watched anxiously as it looked like Erza had Luke under the ropes. Natsu grunted in anger, his teeth clenched in anger while his brother and Gray were concerned and worried. Levy and Cana were too, the brunette and the blue haired mage's hands over or near their chest.
"Damn it, Erza's going to beat him." Natsu said his teeth still clenched.
"Erza's strong, but she beat us too." Gray admitted his arms folded and his black eyes crossed.
"What will Luke do?" Levy asked looking to Cana.
"We'll just have to watch and see what he'll do." Cana replied to the bluenette mage before looking back to the battle at hand.
Back again with Luke and Erza, the two were still in deadlock, Erza trying her best to break through Luke's defenses. Luke closed his eyes and opened them, ready to put his plan into action. Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Sun Dragon…" as Erza blinked in shock. No way, he wasn't going to fire his breath attack this close? A yellow magic circle appeared in front of his face, confirming Erza's disbelief to be true with a cry of, "Roar!" and from his mouth fired the stream of yellow energy at Erza with eyes widen in shock. The attack shot her up into the air as she screamed, making everyone shocked.
"Whoa, that was his plan?" asked Natsu still bewildered.
"He needed a way to remove Erza from himself, so he fired a breath attack directly at Erza." Sting explained a smile on his face.
"Because of that, it sent Erza flying up in the air from him and away from him too." Gray added on referring to what they witnessed.
"Now it's time for Luke to place his next move." Natsu said more interested.
From above the ground, Erza escaped the breath attack while it shot up even higher to the sky to look down at Luke who was getting back up. Her dress blew lightly in the air while she floated lightly down to the Sun Dragon Slayer as their thoughts turned to one another.
'I must say, he's strong for someone two years younger than me. I am impressive.' she thought her lips forming a smile.
'Erza's the first real tough opponent I've ever have, I never thought I meet someone strong as her and she's older than me.' Luke thought smiling up into the air.
'That's why…" the two mages thought in unison, Erza's other hand conjuring a second sword from a red magic circle and Luke gripping both his swords tightly in his hands, 'We make this last attack count!'
(Cue Champion of Magic-Fairy Tail Original Soundtrack 4)
"Sun Dragon Secret Art!" Luke exclaimed, crossing his arms at once making everyone's eyes widen with shock, he knows a secret art? A yellow magic circle appeared under Luke's feet as his swords flew from his hip and started to stand up right floating on either side of him and began to spin around him rapidly, giving off a light yellow glow. The two spinning blades were glowing too along with his hands lighting up as well. Everyone watched with so much astonishment as to what the young Sun Dragon Slayer was up to. Suddenly, he grabbed both his swords at once and held them at the ready. The blades now glow a yellowish golden color as he called out, "Nova Blades!"
With his feet glowing with Sun Dragon Slaying magic, Luke leap into the air like he was soaring high into sky making his way to Erza. Erza was ready to attack and finally the two mages clashed in the air creating shockwave in midair. The boys were shocked and the girls were wide eyed at the battle as the two mages were rapidly fighting the air. The blades clash and clang in perfect sync, the two not giving up at the slightest. They zip and zag in their like two little lights in the sky, making little sparks as they clashed. They finally drop to the ground, their feet skidding on the cobblestone ground before Luke readied his next attack. Holding both swords up above his head, he slams them down into the ground, creating multiple shockwaves that were heading their away to Erza. Erza ran to Luke, hopping, skipping, and jumping each and every one of the shockwaves before coming to Luke. Luke dodged her sword swing when she came close to him, the Sun Dragon Slayer doing a 180 flip over Erza's head and was ready to counterattack her back. The requip mage quickly counter too, turning her body to Luke as their blades clashed again, generating even more sparks before them as they apart from one another. Finally they skidding to a halt from opposite sides of the field, the two were panting heavily from their long battle. Sweat pouring from their faces, their chests helving for air, but it was time to wrap this fight up. It was time to see who was the strongest in this fight, the one who will come up on top.
Erza held her two blades at the ready for the final time, concentrating her magic energy, the same energy when her magic was discovered for the first time. Tower of Heaven… Grandpa Rob…. Simon…. Millliana… Sho…. Wally… Jellal… Those people were her friends and were on that island while she stood here now facing Luke. Her body was surrounded by a red energy, same as the magic circle she concurs.
Luke's body started to glow with yellow energy, the same color as his glowing blades as magical power surged all around his body like Erza. Everyone could feel the magical energy emitting from the two mages, feeling the crisp warm air change with their magic while it made the boys, Cana, and Levy look stunned in shock. Erza and Luke then launch from where they stood, dashing their way to one another to deliver the final strike. The cries of the two wielders called out to one another saying in unison as they collided with a mighty collision, "This is it/Cosmic Slash!" (A/N 6)
The two sword wielders' attacks had connected at once, creating a huge explosion of black dust and cobblestone clouded the two from view of the others as they themselves were caught in it. Natsu and Sting shield their eyes from the dust as Gray was holding onto to Cana who held Levy while they were being carried by the wind. Gray struggled to keep hold of the girls as they were crying out in fear of being blown away. Finally, the wind started to die down, meaning everything was calming down. Cana and Levy were back on the ground with Gray releasing her hand. Natsu and Sting opened their eyes to see the outcome of the fight. Their eyes were wide as saucer plates as to what they saw. Gray, Cana, and Levy looked bewildered to what they saw too. Back on the battlefield, both Erza and Luke kneeled to the ground on either side, their swords beside them. Their heads hung low looking at the ground while they panted heavily. Their clothes, hair, and bodies were covered in dust and scratches, but they rose their heads up to look at one another. They panted heavily, but once they caught their breath, they smiled at one another.
The five young mages started to cheer at the battle's outcome the two combatants rising up from the ground. Luke grabbed his two swords and places them back on his hip and Erza put her sword back on her hip, her second sword vanishing in a blue light. The two mages stood face to face to one another, Erza holding out her hand to Luke's wanting to shake it.
"You're good. I had fun." Erza said smiling.
"Me too, it was nice fighting a strong opponent like you Erza." Luke replied cheerfully closing his eyes as well. Just then, the others ran their way to Erza and Luke, looks of congratulations were on their faces.
"Erza, Luke! That was an amazing battle!" Sting said excitedly at the two.
"You two were incredible!" Cana and Levy cheered too clapping their hands.
"I got to say, you're really good Luke." Gray remarked folding his arms, not realizing he was in his boxers as Luke commented to him, "Gray, what happened to your clothes?!"
"Damn it!" Gray exclaimed, looking down at his half naked body realizing he lacked a shirt or pants. The group all laughed (although Erza was annoyed at the Ice mage's half naked display) and Luke joined in on the laughter. But he stopped laughing and froze in place, his eyes wide and lifeless. The others look to him in confusion as he started to slowly collapse to the ground. Erza and Cana realized it and caught him before he fell to the ground.
"Hey Luke, are you okay?" Cana asked, looking at the now sleeping Luke in their arms.
"He's just passed out from using that Secret Art; it takes a lot of magic power to use. And he's still young, so it does weaken him as we seen now." Sting explained looking at the fellow Dragon Slayer in the girls' arms.
Erza smiled, taking Luke from Cana's arms and placing him on her back. She looked to the others and said calmly, "Let's take him back inside. We might have made a ruckus from our battle so it's better he recovers inside."
"Okay." everyone agreed to the scarlet haired mage and walked their way back inside the guild. Unknowing to the seven, Master Makarov, Ur, and Luxas were hidden above the guild. The third master and the young Ice mage had watched the battle between the two mages along with Laxus. Their arms were folded along with Luxas as the third master spoke up first.
"So what do you think of them now, Ur, Luxas?" asked Makarov.
"Erza's really shown progress since she's joined Fairy Tail. She'll make a fine S-Class mage one day." Ur said smiling calmly.
"That Luke kid is strong as well. A Dragon Slayer with that much potential, I could see great promise in the future for him." Luxas agreed.
Makarov looked into the sky at the yellow warm sun, thinking of something deep in his thoughts. 'Three dragon slayers joined after July 7th, x777, that date still bothers me. But if these three have joined, then are there others out there?'
True to the Master's thoughts, Natsu, Sting, and Luke aren't the only Dragon Slayers that revealed themselves and joined a guild. Others have found homes in guilds or are still traveling on their own, but it won't be long now when the Dragon Slayers finally meet.
X778
I remember finding my friend and companion Lector in an egg, and since then we've been inseparable. And that was the time Lisanna was our new friend and Natsu's future wife. I'll never forget it.
It was a whole year since Natsu, Luke and Sting joined Fairy Tail and ever since their first day, it was the usual things that were going on for the three boys. Natsu would spent most of the time looking for Igneel, but at the guild hall he would start fighting with Gray and get into fights with Erza. Unfortunately, he never would beat her. While Luke liked fights, he wasn't as fighting crazed as Natsu. At that time, three new members joined the guild by the names of the Strauss siblings.
Mirajane, the oldest of the three, dressed the most oddest. She dressed in gothic-looking clothes, showing her appearance was that of a tomboy. She wore a dark, skimpy, sleeveless shirt adorned by some light by some curved motifs on the chest, a pair of leather shorts held up by a studded belt with a demonic-looking buckle and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels, each bearing a skull adorned by a flower on the upper front parts. She also sported a bracelet-shaped like a demonic arm around her right wrist, a ring on the same hand's arms middle finger, and dark nail polish. A long strand of her white hair covered her forehead freely on her face, and had most of her hair tied in a high, larger ponytail on the back of her head by a massive black ribbon. Despite her cold or as Natsu puts it, scary attitude, her blue eyes did show some kindness in them.
Elfman was the second younger, like Mirajane he had blue eyes and short white hair. His skin was a much darker tone over his sister's, and wore a more western-looking attire, consisting of a blue suit over a white shirt, with a red Papillion around his neck, and polished dark shoes. Sting described Elfman as really timid and shy, considering the toughness of his older sister.
Lisanna was the last and two years younger than Elfman and three years younger than her sister. She was a petite young girl with short, white hair and blue eyes. She wore a simple, pink dress paired with dark red shoes. Both boys thought her as really sweet and kind, and it showed when she found the pair in the rain alone one time and cheered them up. It was that moment she was their closest friend in the guild.
It was a few months since the Strauss siblings joined, and while Mirajane made an impact of Erza's life being the two were rivals the same as Gray and Natsu, the three friends' lives changed drastically when after a fight with Gray and Erza, Natsu found three eggs along with his brother and Luke. Each eggs was ten times the size of a chicken eggs and each was different colors: the first egg was a white egg with blue stripes; the second egg was a red egg with pink stripes and third egg was white with black stripes. With a little help from Lisanna, the three friends made themselves a little house so that their 'Dragon eggs' could be safe. Luke left back to the guild so he could take care of his egg on his own, but regularly hanged out with them at all times. They sat themselves inside their little shack watching the eggs, waiting for them to hatch. It was getting late and the sun was setting behind them.
"What do think the dragons will like when they hatch?" Natsu asked Sting and Lisanna.
"Beats me, but I can't wait for my egg to hatch." Sting replied with blue eyes open with excitement.
"Hey Natsu, you know what this is like?" Lisanna asked.
"What do you mean?" Natsu replied curiously.
"Like we're one big family: you're the dad, Sting's the uncle, and I'm the mom." she replied before smiling sweetly. "Maybe someday when we're grown up... Can I be your real wife?"
Natsu's face lit up red like a beet, yet he stammered trying to find the right words to respond to that request. Sting started laughing before grinned slyly, "Awesome, then I'll be an uncle for real. I can't wait for the wedding."
"Sh-shut up Sting, it's not like that!" Natsu stammered his face getting even redder with each passing second.
"Then why is your face so red, big brother?" Sting grinned, his teeth all showing,
"Keep your mouth shut before I burn it off!" Natsu retorted, grabbing the laughing Sting while his own teeth were bared and shaking him furiously. Lisanna only giggled at the display.
Back at the guild, Ur and Mirajane were sitting by the one of the benches watching the door for any hint of Natsu, Sting, and Lisanna. Mira had her arms folded and so was the older woman. Luke was keeping his egg warm with his body heat as he sat with Elfman and Gray. Levy and Cana sat at one of smaller table playing cards while Makarov sat at the bar. Everyone was thinking of Natsu, Sting, and Lisanna, wondering if they will be alright.
"It's not like Natsu and them to be this late getting home, are they alright?" asked Ur concerned.
"They should be at that little shack they made, so if anything they are there and lost track of time." Mira suggested.
Elfman and Gray sat at their bench, the white haired mage speaking up, "I'll go check up on them later to see if they are alight."
"Thanks Elfman, that'll be much appreciated." Ur replied looking at him.
"I should go too, they are my friends too you know." Luke piped as well.
Erza came to Mira and Ur's table and sat beside them, "You know it never occurred to me how close they have gotten. I would be surprised if Natsu marries Lisanna one day."
"If she can handle Natsu's behavior, I won't mind them married." Gray commented before looking down and saw his clothes weren't gone. He sighed in relief, knowing Ur would scold him if they were missing again.
"They have my vote too, but I have a question, two in fact: do Dragon Slayers have mates or mating seasons?" Mirajane asked coolly.
Makarov, Erza, Gray, Cana, Levy, Luke, Ur, and Elfman shook their heads. They never heard of that for Dragon Slayers, and doubted it was real. Luke, who was raised by one, didn't know himself.
"Thanks for the heads up, because if Natsu ever tries anything with my sister," Mirajane stated, her body glowing a dark aura that made the boys scared of demon Mira, "I'll rip his arms off cleanly without even spilling a drop of blood."
"Scary…" Gray, Luke, and Elfman commented frightened and worried for Natsu's life. Erza sweat dropped looking at Mirajane, "You really look out for Lisanna, don't you?" she asked nervously chossing not tick Mira off when it came to her sibling's safety.
Over by the bar, Makarov thought his eyes shut tight, his face completely focused, 'I best do a background check to make 100% certain. Natsu and Sting's lives depend on it.'
A few days passed and Natsu, Luke and Sting's eggs hatch into not dragons as they expected but three small little kittens. The first one was blue with black eyes and a white tummy. The second was red with black eyes and a light pink tummy and face. The third is a white cat with black stripes resembling a white tiger. They each had two tiny little angelic wings on their backs and were so cute when they were born it made everyone happy. That's what Natsu named his kitten, Happy. Sting named his kitten Lector, after seeing the name in one of his books. Luke named his kitten Byakko which means white tiger. After that, the three Dragon Slayers had their own little cats to raise as Lisanna states it, like their own sons.
X780
Porlyusica's House
I remembered being really sick and at the time, my brother, Happy, Lector, Luke, Byakko, Lisanna, Erza, Ur, Gray, Elfman, Mirajane, and the master were all waiting for my recovery. You see, to help strengthen my immune system and my magic; I was given something that was placed inside me… a White Dragon Lacrima.
Natsu, Gray, Erza, Luke, Lisanna, Mirajane, Ur, and Elfman were waiting outside the home of Porlyusica, The medical advisor to Fairy Tail, for one of their own to be alright. Natsu paced himself, his arms folded and worried. Ur and the others were watching Natsu look worried, and this was a side of the pink haired Dragon Slayer they have never seen before. Apart from the consent determination to battle anyone he sees like an opponent, Natsu showing worry and concern for his younger brother showed some maturity in the boy. Ur decided to speak to Natsu, knowing where he was coming from when worrying for someone. Her daughter… or deceased daughter, was born with so much magic power that even she was worried for her and to hear she dead left a wound in her heart that was reluctantly healed by taking in both Gray and another pupil Lyon as her own family in a sense.
The Ice mage placed a solemn hand to his shoulder, a soft smile pass was on her lips. Natsu look to her, their dark eyes meeting one another. Natsu still remain worried where he stood, finally deciding to speak.
"Ur…" he said softly to the older Ice mage.
"You're really concern for Sting's health are you?" Ur asked showing the kindness she usually gave Gray's other comrades and her own as well.
Natsu nodded and look back to the tree that Porlyusica lived in. He sighed deeply, trying to remember the past very well, "When we were little during time with our Dragons, Sting had moments of being sick. I remember his dad keeping an eye on him until he was better." he looks back to the others and added, "But I never thought he would be this sick. If we didn't take him here, I don't know what I would do."
"Don't worry so much about it, Natsu." Erza assured him arms folded, "Sting's going to be fine, just be more you, the optimistic side I mean."
"Yeah," Gray agreed with a laugh, "Don't dwell about it. He'll be okay."
"You have our support, no questions asked." Mirajane said her arms folded while she spoke to the fire Dragon Slayer coolly. Elfman, Luke, and Lisanna agreed too with additional nods of approval.
"Don't forget that Master Makarov, Byakko, Happy and Lector are there with Porlyusica too, so they won't let anything happen to one of their own." Ur added in agreement with everyone.
Natsu's worried expression started to change slowly as his fellow members each had hope for Sting's wellbeing. Everyone only thought about him surviving and getting better, nothing about the possibility of him dying. He took a hand to his spiky pink hair and said with a goofy grin, "Thank you, all of you."
It was then another hour of waiting pass for the small group of Fairy Tail mages, waiting for the okay from Makarov or the medical advisor. Finally, someone finally did walk out of the house, and to everyone's surprise it was the medical advisor herself.
Porlyusica was a slim and tall elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head by two large pins with crescent moon-shaped edges, and with two bangs of hair left framing her face. She had reddish eyes, and a beauty mark located below her mouth, on the left side of her face. Her attire consists of a dark green blouse with a tie around the collar, paired with a long matching skirt and simple shoes. Over this, she sported a crimson-colored cape, with a wide collar decorated by massive dragon horn-like decorations protruding outwards, and edges adorned by white, arch-like motifs.
She was followed by Makarov, Happy, Byakko, and Lector, The three cats starting to show growth since their birth on X778. Natsu didn't want to sound impatient; he wanted to make sure Sting survived the operation that would cure him. Makarov look to his members of Fairy Tail, not saying a single word while Natsu came up to the four.
"Is… Is Sting going to be alright?" Natsu asked nervously, his eyes shaking slightly.
A slight pause was from the pink haired medical advisor and the elder master, before they nodded in response. Natsu's face rose with happiness as everyone sighed in relief. Sting was to be okay, he wasn't going to die just yet.
"Your brother is a brave young man, Natsu. He'll just have to recover here before we move him to a proper hospital bed." Makarov confirmed.
Natsu bowed his head in appreciation to the two for saving his brother's health, the three cats flying near Natsu's bowed head and smiling up at him.
"You didn't have to worry Natsu; Sting is a strong Dragon Slayer like you." Lector said smiling.
"We weren't going to let him get worse, don't you worry about it." Byakko said as well.
"That's right!" Happy agreed with smile on his face, "We helped both the master and Porlyusica help make Sting feel better. So thank us too!"
Natsu placed a hand to his blue furred cat, slightly ruffling the top of his head, "Okay," he added with a slightly chuckle at the end, "Thanks Happy, Byakko, Lector."
"Alright everyone," Ur announced to the others, "We are probably getting in the way of Porlyusica's time and we are on her property after all."
"She's right, let's return to the guild hall." Erza ordered to the others in agreement to Ur. The Strauss Siblings, Luke and Gray all agreed and followed Erza and Ur from the area and left Porlyusica's property. Happy, Byakko and Lector sprouted their white angelic wings and fallowed after the others. Natsu was last with the two elder mages, still smiling for his brother's safe recovery.
"Well, I should be going too." Natsu said turning the other way to follow after his comrades, but Makarov said, "Natsu, is it alright you keep this a secret about how we treated Sting from the other guild members?"
He turned to him and replied keeping his tone calm, "That's there's a White Dragon Lacrima embedded inside and this isn't the first time you've done this?" he asked.
"Yes, we already told you about Laxus; it is only fair you know the truth." Porlyusica said calmly.
Natsu paused for a moment and added, "I knew something was strange about him, maybe I'll challenge him to another fight and not get beat up next time." he added with a sparkle in his eyes.
The two elders sighed… typical Natsu, that's for sure.
After a couple days later since Sting's treatment, the guild was its usual self while they wait for Sting to come home. Natsu made his daily visits to Magnolia Hospital to see if Sting would awaken or not. Sometimes Lisanna, Happy, and Lector were there with him on his trip to see him. Most of the guild would send him get well baskets in hopes for his safe recovery. Natsu still kept visiting his brother every chance he could get before going on requests. It was early in the morning one day, when Sting finally woke up.
The young White Dragon Slayer slowly opened his eyes as his vision was cloudy from not opening his eyes for so long. He groaned a little before seeing the clear image of Natsu, Lisanna, Lector, and Happy standing by the foot of his hospital bed, holding flowers in their hands from the guild. They each smiled at him, the Fire Dragon Slayer said jokily, "Good morning."
"Morning," Sting replied his voice hoarse as ever, "So were they able to treat me?"
"You bet," Natsu replied, he and Lisanna walking closer to him and each sitting on either sides of the bed, "Gramps and Porlyusica were able to treat you. Welcome to the family, third Generation White Dragon Slayer." he added with a hint of a chuckle to the long title.
"Third Generation, Now I really feel like your little brother." Sting smiled before looking at a table littered with get well presents.
"Those are from each member who came and visit you." Lisanna explained seeing the White Dragon Slayer's gaze, "Cana, Levy, Luke, Byakko, Macao, and some like Mira usually talk with you when you were asleep. Even Gildarts came and visit before leaving for a job."
Sting smiled but frown in disappointment, "Sorry I made you guys and the guild so worried for me. I didn't want to get sick like this and everyone have a panic attack."
Happy and Lector shook their heads in disagreement but Natsu replied lightly punching his brother's shoulder, "Nonsense, remember when we first joined Fairy Tail and what Erza said, we treat each and every one like a family. We didn't because we want to; we did because we have to." he closed his eyes and grinned, "We're family, that's why we look out for one another."
"That's right!" agreed Lector his paw up in the air.
"Aye sir!" Happy chimed in excitedly.
Lisanna giggled in agreement and Natsu still smiled. Sting's face warmed up into a cheerful smile, his canine like teeth showing. "Right, thank you."
"Hey how about we take a job once you can leave this place. So, is it a deal?" Natsu asked holding out a hand to his brother.
Sting chuckled, taking his right hand from the sheets and grasping his brother's with a firm and tight handshake, "It's a promise, Natsu."
Two weeks later, Sting finally recovered from the treatment and was allowed to leave the hospital. As promised by his brother, the five friends went on a mission together. It was a simple defeat a band of bandits' mission which was a rewarding 25,000 Jewels. Because of their teamwork and the new moves Natsu taught his brother, it was done easily. They made their way back to the guild, unknowingly running pass two faces they didn't thought they'd meet. It felt like time had stop for them as they crossed paths, a boy with raven black hair and wore a black hoodie and a gray shirt and grey and red shoes were on his feet. He was accompanied by a girl with white-blue hair, a white top that reached passed her waist and a matching white skirt that reached her knees. In her hair was a blue rose on the right side of her head and on her hips was a set of keys, two gold, one gold with a black snake wrapped around it, and five silver keys. Along with them was a small green cat wearing a pink and black frog suit. It was obvious that it was a girl from the eyelashes visible. They each look at them, their faces showing excitement as they ran from them.
"Who was that?" asked the raven haired boy.
"I heard of them, the Fire and White Dragon Slayer duo, Natsu Dragneel and Sting Eucliffe. They made quite the splash in news about them." replied the white-blue haired girl.
"Really Yukino, they're that popular?" asked the raven haired boy.
"Yes Rogue, they are members who joined of the year 777 and already they made an interesting feat on their own as the Salamander and White Dragon." (A/N 6)
Rogue's red eyes followed Natsu and Sting, an interested glint was in his eyes. Yukino and the frog suit wearing cat saw the look in his eyes. From as long they knew him; it's a rare treat to see him interested in anything since their travels. The feeling they could feel out him was one thing for sure…
When the time comes… He would like to fight them one day.
"Rogue, we should hurry on back to Phantom Lord, Gajeel would like to know if we're back from our mission." Yukino said with the frog wearing cat nodding too.
"Yeah, your big brother would lkike to know we came back from our mission." the frog suit wearing suit said with a bright smile.
"Okay, Yukino, Frosch, let's head home." Rogue replied and the three made their way home to their guild the same as Natsu, Lisanna, Sting, Happy, and Lector.
X781
To Fairy Tail, we treat everyone like family and will always look out for them. The same day I found myself a new sister, someone ran away from the guild after someone said some hurtful words…
Gray, why did you let Kyuri run away?
One year after Sting's treatment, two new members joined the guild Fairy Tail. One found by the Takeover Siblings Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna and another who had nowhere to go after losing their family. The first was a girl about fourteen years old with long dark blue hair that reached halfway from her back with a black tied headband in her hair and dark red eyes. She wore a yellow tube top with a black vest over it, dark blue shorts reaching her knees and black leggings, lastly was the red and black shoes on her feet. She was close to Lisanna's height from when the siblings met her, but only by a mere foot. Her name was Cyan Mitsu. The Takeover Siblings of Fairy Tail founded her on one of their missions to a town. Hearing rumors of a beast hurting citizens, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman decided to check it out to see what was going on. There, they found the young girl in the mess of destruction of the village. Stains of blood covered the ground but it was shocking that one girl could cause so much damage. Many people were in critical condition when they found them that there was no way to save them. It was better they take Cyan with them; it was the only thing they could do.
Carrying Cyan on Elfman's back, Lisanna, Mira, and Elfman where walking through Magnolia making their way to the guild. The dark blue haired girl looks to Mira and Lisanna who led the group. Mira's arms were crossed under her chest while Lisanna had her arms to her side. Cyan immediately spoke up to them, her voice low and serious.
"You there, girl with the short white hair?" she asked to Lisanna.
Mira and Lisanna turned to Elfman and Cyan, the second oldest stopping and looking at his sisters. Mira scowled and her arms remained crossed as Lisanna replied sweetly, "its Lisanna miss."
"Lisanna, I got it." Cyan replied before adding, "Lisanna, why did you and your siblings save me back there. You know my magic, similar to yours, killed everyone. But you're taking me to your guild. Why?"
Mira scoffed crossly and said, "Isn't it obvious, we wouldn't leave you there in that mess, be grateful." but Lisanna held out a hand to her older sister to silence her.
"I'll handle it Mira-nee." Lisanna said to the elder sibling. Mira sighed and turned away while Lisanna spoke to Cyan.
"You weren't in control of yourself; you didn't kill every one of your own free will. And we wouldn't hand you to the Magic council because you didn't do anything wrong. It's just us doing what was right, that's all." Lisanna said smiling softly.
"But… I killed my family and friends; I have nowhere to call home to…" Cyan sadly burying her head in Elfman's back making Elfman look solemnly at the girl. Lisanna walked up to the girl and tugged at her shorts getting her attention. Lisanna smiled at her, her blue eyes looking to the dark red eyes of the girl.
"Then, we'll be your family, so that you'll never be without one. And we'll help with your magic as much as possible. That's a promise." Lisanna said smiling at the dark blue haired girl.
Cyan's mouth was slightly agape at Lisanna's words, but smiled softly at the young girl, a single tear sliding down her eyes and down her cheek. Elfman and Mirajane smiled too, looking at their now christened family member with a welcoming atmosphere, "Thank you…" she said softly.
"You're welcome." Lisanna replied as a voice called from a distance.
"Lisanna! Mirajane! Elfman!" a young boy's voice called as the Strauss Siblings and Cyan look to see Natsu Dragneel and Happy coming up to them with panic looks on their faces. They skidded to a halt in front of them, Mirajane addressing the pink haired Dragon Slayer first.
"Natsu, what are you doing here? Why you seem like something happened at the Guild?" Mirajane asked before asking again, "Does Erza have anything to do with it?!" cracking her knuckles as well.
"No, it's Gray. He made Kyuri run away!" Natsu replied looking as panicked as before he met up with the siblings.
"What?!" the three siblings exclaimed in unison as Natsu asked bluntly, "Who's the girl?"
"Focus on explaining, Natsu!" Mirajane and Lisanna yelled in unison, their eyes slanted like demon's eyes.
"Okay, okay, sorry I asked." he replied nervously, not wanting to make Mira and Lisanna any madder. "Well, you know how Kyuri joined a few months ago after finally finding a guild and how she never had any friends and mostly was to herself? You know, she calls herself the black sheep and all. Well Gray wanted to help her and took her on a mission." Natsu explained quickly.
"But she screwed up hard on the mission with Gray that he said some hurtful things to the others that made her run away from the guild. I think the words were, 'How can a black sheep like her screw up on a simple task. She's has no place with us'." Happy finished making everyone even Cyan gasp. Gray said those words, why? It wasn't Gray to say that, sure Kyuri was only a ten year old mostly inexperience with magic, but it was uncalled for Gray to say something like that to a child. Lisanna clutched her fists together and scoffed in anger as she made a beeline to the guild, making everyone gasp seeing her run off like that. Mirajane, Elfman, Cyan, Natsu, and Happy called after Lisanna as they followed after her.
At the guild, Ur, Levy, and Cana were surrounding the Ice mage after his hurtful remark to Kyuri. Gray looked nervous with the three mages around him, his master and S-Class mage seeming like she wanted to knock some sense into her pupil. Erza, Makarov, Sting, Lector, Luke, and Byakko were all worried for the young mage who left.
"How could you Gray, just say those words to Kyuri? She's only a child!" Cana yelled fist clenched tightly.
"You know her parents are gone, her sister died, and her brother nowhere to be found. You let a little orphan up and left with nowhere to go!" Levy yelled too, her eyes flaring up.
"I-I'm sorry, I was just upset over the job we took, I didn't mean any of it!" Gray stammered, feeling the anger boiling from the women.
"Bullshit, I taught you better, Gray!" Ur spat, grabbing hold of his collar making him sweat drop in fear, "I swear, if you weren't like a son to me, I've murder…" but Ur was stopped when the sound of the guild doors opening to the guild seeing Lisanna walking inside the guild. There wasn't the usually smile and cheerful Lisanna the guild normally has, but this Lisanna wasn't in the cheerful mood. Was it because of the news of Kyuri leaving the guild? Everyone's concern was on Lisanna and how she'll react to Gray. Lisanna step even closer to Gray, Ur, Levy, and Cana; the elder Ice mage releasing Gray with a concern look on her face as she step away from Gray so the two could be face to face. It was silence between the two, Gray looking nervous at Lisanna, the younger mage of the two making him feel guilty looking at her. She came up to his neck, her blue eyes covered by her bangs. Before Gray could utter a single word, it happened in a flash. Lisanna look her right hand and slapped Gray so hard in the face that he toppled to the ground. Everyone gasped seeing Lisanna hit anyone, but the most shocked was Natsu, Mirajane, Elfman, Happy, and Cyan who finally made it to the guild to see Lisanna hit Gray. Gray sat there with his hand to his cheek where Lisanna hit him as she screamed out, "How could you just let Kyuri leave like that?!"
(Cue Fairy Tail main them-Piano version-Fairy Tail Original Soundtrack)
Gray's black eyes were wide in shock that Lisanna had hit him, the usually kind and never hurt a fly Lisanna hit him. Lisanna breathed heavily, her blue eyes showing the kind of anger that rivals her own sister, "Kyuri was just a child, the most inexperience of any of us with magic, her family is gone, her brother is somewhere not knowing her sister is wondering where he is! And you just say she has no place here?!" her voice becoming louder and louder with each word. Some of the older members, even the slightly older Laxus could hear her.
"I didn't mean to say those things, Lisanna. I was just upset, believe me!" Gray reassured the Takeover mage as she screamed her own face turning red with anger, "I don't care!"
Lisanna lowered her head at the ice mage, her bangs covering her eyes again, "Family looks out for one another, no matter what they do or what happens to them, they never say hurtful things. What you did Gray was hurt an already hurt girl, with no future to call her own, and for what, a mission? We all make mistakes, but it's no right to take it out on a child. You know what I heard from Kyuri even though she never talked to anyone, that she looked up to you, being an Ice mage and all. But you made her feel worse than before, like how she lost her family. How does it feel to know you allow someone to go out there and let themselves get killed, how will you let that be on your conscious?!" Lisanna turned away from Gray, her head raised up and her voice low, "Gray, there will be a time when someone cares for you, to even put their life on the line for you. But if you always be you, who in return will regret with their life: the one who loves you or you?" (A/N 8)
Everyone's mouth were hung open at Lisanna's words, but the most shock was Gray himself. He'll regret it, what did she mean? Lisanna came to the request board and picked out a request flyer and walked to the master, asking to take the request. Makarov nodded in approval and Lisanna walked to Natsu and Happy, her eyes not looking at Gray.
"We'll be going on mission now, get prepared." she said softly but hoarsely.
"Okay." Natsu agreed, looking at the upset look on Lisanna's face. Natsu look to his brother and Lector, "Sting, Lector, let's get prepared too."
"Okay." they agreed in unison as they made their preparations. Lisanna spoke out again to the guild, "While I'm away, make our new member and my new sister feel welcome, please?" she asked the guild her voice still hoarse. Everyone look to Elfman and Mira as the second oldest place a fourteen year old girl on the ground, the members all seeing her bandages on her body. She smiled and waved at each every member who wanted to know her. Despite all the attention she was getting, her eyes shift to the departing Lisanna, Sting, Natsu, Happy, and Lector. Cyan frowned sadly at the girl, calling Lisanna by the first honorific since being called her family, "Lisanna-nee…"
X782
I can never forget this day… Natsu, are you really dead? If so, why did you have to go and leave me and Sting? Natsu, you gave up your life to protect me, now I feel awful about it. Natsu… Where are you now?
Another year had come and gone, and Sting grew into a proud young man despite his age. He was now a slim yet muscular man of average height, with his blond hair now much spikier then when he was a kid jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal tuft of hair partially hanging on his forehead. His eyes remained slanted, and above the right one is a visible thin scar, diagonally going up his forehead. His left ear was adorned by an earring, with prominent metal pendant reminiscent of a double-edged attached to it. Abandoning his old childhood attire, he now donned a blue vest with a golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of gray fur over a short, cream top, leaving his muscular upper abdominals exposed. His arms are covered by dark blue gloves reaching up to his middle biceps, with their upper edges being adorned by light green bands hanging down several centimeters. He wears loose, cream pants, similar to his brother Natsu, but held up by suspenders, attached to the pants' loops by square-shaped rings. Over them, he dons distinctive, dark blue galoshes-like footwear, reaching up to his thighs and attached to the upper edge of his pants. The prominent soles of the 'boots' are distinctive in their own right; having rectangular protrusions pointing upwards on their front part, similar to square fangs.
He was running to the guild hall, something was wrong and he felt it. He was followed by his cat friend Lector who now had a little blue vest on this time around. It was starting to rain once he opened the guild hall doors, seeing the dark and gloomy tone the inside had.
"I made it as fast as I could." he panted, trying to catch his breath, "What happened?"
Sitting by one of the tables crowded by most of the guild was a tearful Mirajane. She developed a lot from the past two years, her tomboyish appearance still remained, but the cold blue eyes she gave the guild was now drowned with sadness. Her left arm was bandaged up and her face had mixtures of dirt and blood on it. Her brother Elfman who grown more 'manly' in a way, wearing much darker blue clothes than from his childhood, his left eye now bandaged up. Mirajane was being consoled by Erza, who was a little older too. Ur was also saddened too, sitting with a quiet Makarov. Luke and Bayakko were saddening too, their plates getting cold from not eating their food. Cyan, who went on the mission with her adopted siblings was also sad and bandaged as well, tears falling from her eyes. Cana and Levy same with the others were also sad from the news, hearing Mirajane's cries from the other table.
"He… wasn't moving… and we tried to save him, but…" Mirajane said through her tears.
Sting came up to Mirajane and got on his knees, grabbing her unbroken hand and gripping it tightly but not to break it too, "Mirajane… Where's my brother, where's Natsu?!"
Mira look to him, tears continued to fall down her cheeks, not sure what to say to him right now. To Sting, this was a Mirajane he thought he never seen before. Gray came up to the younger brother; his own eyes seem to be saddened too.
"Sting, during the mission, the beast they were trying to stop… It was too powerful." Gray said his own voice now shaking too, "Elfman tried to subdue it with a Full Body Take Over, but… The Beast took over him and it was aiming for Lisanna." he paused taking his left hand to his eyes, covering them, "Sting, Natsu push Lisanna out the way but both of them got hit nevertheless. Lisanna got beat up, but Natsu…. He's dead Sting… Natsu's dead."
The White Dragon Slayer froze with shock at this reveal. He released Mira's hand and his own hands were now on the floor. His mouth was agape, eyes shaking with fear and sadness. Tears started to fall from his own eyes, each drop sliding off his cheek to the ground. Lector placed a paw to his partner, sad as well at hearing this terrible, horrible, news.
"Natsu's … dead?" he whispered weakly.
It was a sad day for Fairy Tail to lose one of their own, especially someone like Natsu. The Fire Dragon Slayer might be bit of a child at times, but he was cheerful and always looking out for his comrades, but now he was gone. Sting, for the most part, was crying not only for the loss of his older brother, but remembered the feeling of seeing his Dragon disappear from his life. He remembered the tears of sadness Natsu had when Igneel had left him too. Now his brother was gone, he'll never see him again… And Natsu will never see Igneel ever again. There was one thing he can do. He looks up to the white haired Takeover mage, asking desperately to her, "Where's Lisanna and Happy?"
"The usual place…" Mira answered hoarsely.
"Thank you…" he said softly, getting up to find the other two. Before he could leave the guild hall, Elfman's voice called to him, Cyan as well speaking up.
"I'm sorry… Sting… I really am." Elfman said his own voice shaking too.
"I should have protected them; I didn't want Natsu to…" Cyan added as well hoarsely
"I know… Don't feel bad for what happen. Natsu wouldn't like that." and with his reply, the White Dragon Slayer ran to the usual place to find Lisanna and Happy. He had to make sure they were alright too.
It was starting to pour even more once Sting found their shack, Lisanna standing there facing it along with Happy. Same with Sting and the others, she had grown a lot from last year ago when she was a child. Her hair was quite longer down to her neck, and she wore a short, dark red dress with a white collar and bow. Up on her arms above her elbows, she wore gold rings with a pale pink fabric flowing down from it. She wore tall, black socks along with brown shoes. Sting noticed two things, the first that she was now carrying a white scarf in her hands, and her clothes and her body were beat up with scratches and small tears. The second, her guild stamp on her left shoulder was missing. Happy stood with his 'mother', sad too that Natsu was gone. Lisanna was crying, the tears and raindrops mixing together on her face. She spoke to Happy, her voice still shaking, "I held him in my arms, and I didn't want to leave him. Then he just… vanished into the sky…"
"Lisanna…" Sting said from behind her.
Happy and Lisanna turned to face the blond haired Dragon Slayer, his eyes showing the same sadness of losing a love one. They stood there for what seems to be forever. Sting tried his best to hold back the tears, he had to be strong and not show the fear of lost. He spoke again, gesturing his left hand, "Let's head back Lisanna, you'll catch a cold…"
"Okay…" she replied softly and with Happy walking behind them, they made their sad walk back to the guild. Lisanna hugged the scarf to her chest, a few tears falling from her eyes.
"Natsu's scarf is all I could save of him. It's his father's scarf, I should at least hold on to it after all, right?" she asked Sting and Happy.
Sting forced a smile, looking at her, "I think Natsu wouldn't mind any other way."
Lisanna looks to him as well and asked, "You really think Natsu is gone?"
Sting shook his head, before replying, "Bodies don't vanish when they die Lisanna, so that means Natsu is somewhere out there." he held a confident fist up into the rain, "I promise that we won't give up until we find him and our dragons, you have my word." he smiled a real warm smile at her, "You'll help right?"
Lisanna smiled, wiping her face of the tears and looked warmly at the White Dragon Slayer, "Right!"
"But we won't find Natsu at our base strength; we need to be stronger in hopes to find him. So up for a little training once everything calms down?" he asked with a smile like Natsu use to do.
"You bet!" agreed Lisanna as Happy chimed in excitedly, "Aye sir!"
The two friends and Happy made their way back to the guild hall, their minds set of getting stronger and looking for Natsu. Their return to the guild was still a quiet return, everyone trying their hardest to keep their spirits up over the lost of Natsu. A funeral was held in respect for the passing Dragon Slayer, but while there was a grave near the church, Lisanna and Happy made one near the shack from their chilhood. Lisanna remnembered asking Natsu to make a grave for her if she was to pass away. Now, it was the opposite and now it was Lisanna who made a grave for him. Lisanna look to the sky to see the clear sky after the rainy days after Natsu's death. She wiped away the few tears on her face and look to Happy on the ground, smiling to the blue cat.
"Happy, let's head to the guild, Sting and Lecot wants us ready for a job, they'll won't like it if we miss it."
"Aye sir!" Happy exclaimed before sproating his wings and following Lisanna away from the shack of their childhood.
Two years later—
X784, July 3rd
"What, you mean someone named Salamander is in Hargeon right now?!" asked two mages of Fairy Tail.
It has been two years since the death of Natsu, and Fairy Tail was back to its normal self after losing him. Sting Eucliffe and Lisanna Strauss, now both around sixteen years old, have grown a lot since then. Lisanna was much taller, her white hair was a few inches longer in the back like before and now wore Natsu's scarf around her neck. Her clothes were white and powder blue instead of the pink and pale pink they were before and her new guild stamp was now on her left thigh. Sting grew a few inches taller than Lisanna, being a few months older than her and showing he was a Dragon Slayer by his canine like teeth. During the two years, both mages have gotten a lot stronger since then. Lisanna acquired new Takeovers she was able to master, and Sting learned a few new Dragon Slaying techniques, including some as a tribute to his brother. Happy and Lector grew a little more since then, the blue furred cat now carrying a little green bag on his back and like Lector, their wings grew from the tiny wings they were six years ago.
The two had been following leads to the brothers' dragons and Natsu for two whole years, finally getting a brand new lead today.
"Yeah," a member of the guild said to them one early morning, "I heard from eyewitnesses that someone named Salamander was spotted in Hargeon. If you leave right away, you just might catch him."
"Thanks!" the two mages said in response taking their leave before waving good bye to everyone. They finally had a clue to where Natsu could be it was only a matter of time. But two things were for certain, that one of them won't enjoy the train ride and that is was just the beginning for Lisanna, Sting, Happy, and Lector.
Cana and Levy, close friends to Sting and Lisanna were looking through a photo album and saw Sting, Lisanna, Happy, and Lector leave to follow another lead. Like their friends, they've grown a lot since the seven years after Natsu and Sting joined and the two years after Natsu disappeared. Cana chuckled, turning a page to two separate pictures, one taken on x782 (after Mirajane was made S-Class mage) and X793 (After Natsu vanished). The first picture showed Natsu, Sting, Lisanna, Happy, and Lector in front, with Cana, Levy, Gray, Erza, Mirajane, Luke, Byakko, Cyan, Elfman, Ur, Wakaba, Macao, Laxus, and Makarov in the back. The second picture was one year after Natsu died, Lisanna standing where Natsu stood wearing his scarf, with Sting standing with her along with Happy, Lector, Luke, Byakko, Mirajane (now wearing a pink dress and smiling) Elfman (changed as well to look more manly), Cyan, Ur, Gray, Erza, Wakaba, Macao, Laxus, and Makarov.
"Sure times flies, does it?" asked Cana, taking a swig of beer.
"It does." Levy replied her eyes looking from the album and to her book.
Meanwhile at the port town of Hargeon, A girl around seventeen years old had just arrived by train to Hargeon, yawning and taking her left hand to her golden blonde hair. She wore a white top with a blue cross in the center with a silver zipper as well. She wore a blue short skirt with a brown belt, a brown pouch that carried her keys, and a black with a heart at the end. She was always was wearing black boots that reach up to her knees and had a blue ribbon tied in her hair. She blinked her chocolate brown eyes look into the blue sky.
"I made it to Hargeon… now to find a magic shop…" the girl decided before leaving the train strain and was on her way, carrying a suitcase in her left hand.
To be continued…
Michael: And that was the end of the first chapter of A Different Fairy Tail. Now as this will be different retelling as my first one, this will have new stuff I couldn't do in Re Deluxe yet, plus I had to do a proper Sting/Lucy as real friends not all the shipping crap that's making me hate him more than before chapter 322. And please, don't get me started about the mate cliché that keep cropping up with every Fairy Tail story. Now this is AU for two reasons and this is spoilers in case anyone is interested
Rogue and Sting would be around the same age as Wendy if not younger if this was canon.
Yukino would be much younger because Sorano (Angel) is a bit older than her
And if you are going to believe that is will be some Sticy clichéd out of character crap, then you are looking at the wrong writer. I will develop Sting and his relationship with everyone, so no shipping on the three Dragon Slayers. Now I promised every arc except Daphne, and a few fillers. Nothing is going to be skipped or rushed, and to flesh out the story more, I will have Lisanna and Sting's flashbacks to the guild prior to Natsu's death during what would episode nine. And if you wonder what happened to Deliora, I'll give you one hint
It's frozen, but not by Iced Shell
And this has call back to another AU, A Simple Spell, and the same basic as my retelling. Now I will develop every last character, not going to leave anyone out as I will follow the anime/manga like a dedicated fan I am.
Now, I hope this wasn't rushed, and if so, let me know in your reviews. And I need a big favor, I need two female Dragon Slayers to replace Sting and Rogue in Sabertooth and these are the qualifications:
-Water and Ice
-Third Generation
-Exceeds
-Need to be well developed and well liked if they are to be rivals
-No shipping for them
Update: Considering I am fixing up this chapter, I'm asking for more OCs now. Same rules apply to how OCs should be handled. If you read the rules in one of my other Fairy Tail Stories, then here they are:
-These characters must be in style to Fairy Tail, nothing outside the universe. If Rave Master is involved, that's it.
-Nothing generic, give the characters unique traits that sets them apart and makes them good characters.
-If new Dragon Slayers, range from little kid (Wendy), Teenager (Natsu), or Adult (Laxus). Dragon and Exceed as well.
-Make them likable, make readers want to see more of them. I'm never a person to not let good characters die out like profession writers do until they served their purpose.
-Don't make them overpowered and have them be either stronger than Fairy Tail until their weakness is exposed or at their level. Fans already find ways to ruin canon characters, don't ruin your OCs.
-If related to a good guy, don't go overboard.
That's really it, and this like Re Deluxe will have an odd update pattern as I am in College and should be putting time to my schoolwork. So unlike certain writers, don't expect fast updates, maybe two-three weeks apart. And this is not to be treated better than the work Hiro puts out, that's not how I think and neither should you. You wonder why Fanfiction is getting more frowned upon these days. That's really it and next chapter:
Chapter 1: The Fairy Tail
