Hey everybody! I got a little bit anxious seeing as how so few people voted so far so I decided I would post a portion of the story I liked the best. This is really only the prologue, so the narration will seem a bit strange but starting with the first chapter, I can promise it will be much more exciting. So, without further ado, here it is. The prologue to Dragontech Inc! Oh, and this is not a yaoi, it is just that Natsu and Gray will be the primary characters. Well, Natsu will be anyways. Gray will just appear more frequently than others.
Summary:
After the accidental explosion of a laboratory studying nuclear fusion and particle physics, a tear in the fabric of the universe allows magic to seep in. While the majority of people remain the same, some start waking up with strange powers. As lawlessness and anarchy start brewing across the globe, the people need someone to save them. That's where Natsu Dragneel, CEO of Dragontech Inc., steps in. With his own magical powers, he turns his technological company into a guild filled with the most powerful mages the world has seen. Will he be able to stop the destruction of the world? (Funny, suspenseful, close to resembling the actual Fairy Tail plot and setting, may turn darker as the story progresses, rated T, possibly M)
Rushing over to the computer the scientist rapidly began typing in various codes, all of which did nothing to help. All around him, his colleagues raced back and forth, attempting to cool down the rapidly overheating fusion drive they had developed. One man in a dark red coat shouted stood at in front of the drive yelling orders, the heat burning his skin as he attempted to manually shut down the systems. Realizing all attempts were futile he ordered all personnel to evacuate immediately. As the last researcher stumbled onto the evacuation boat the metal doors behind him slammed shut. The man in red activated all emergency systems, locking the fusion drive, and himself, behind hundreds of feet of metal and carbon nanotube-infused framework. The researchers on the ships looked back at the facility in the middle of the small island. A tiny dot was all that was visible.
An enormous explosion engulfed the island, sending up flames the seemed to merge with the sky, the heat from which was even felt by the researchers, now 1000km away. They all bowed their heads in mourning, saying their prayers to the man who sacrificed his life so that they all may live.
That moment would forever be known as The Day of Two Suns. The immediate results of the explosion were a global temperature increase of 7˚F, the extinction of all life within a 700km radius, and most importantly the success of the experiment. For a period of 84 hours, the site of the explosion was home to a miniature star, that kept burning until collapsing in on itself, leaving nothing but a huge scar on the surface of the planet.
A funeral was held for the man who died that day. Thousands of people came to pay their respects to him and left, but one boy stayed at the grave for the three and a half days that the infant star burned. As the light receded, the star expelling the last of its power, the boy stood up, wiped away his tears, adjusted his scarf, and ran his hand through his pink hair.
"I'll find a way, father. I promise. One day, we'll be reunited again." The young boy said, walking away from the large gravestone. Surrounding the stone was a statue of a great dragon, spewing out flames into the sky. The young boy turned around for one last look, the letters engraved in the stone still visible:
Here Lies Igneel Dragneel
Beloved researcher and father
May his sacrifice be forever remembered
