I've wanted to write this for a while, but I cannot keep up with three consistent fics, so chapters will be few and far between, but they'll be long. Also, for the record, this is romance/humor/adventure, but the stupid description won't let me put in three genres. Damn.
As the sun rose, it shined its faint golden light upon a beautiful, bustling town known as Magnolia. As the light spread, a 12-year-old boy made his way through the busy streets. The boy wore a silver sleeveless shirt and black pants.
The boy's silver-blonde hair waved in the wind as he made his way to a three-story yellow building with a red tile roof. "Well Mother, I made it" he thought. Opening the big green double door, the boy entered the building and was instantly attacked by a girl with vibrant red hair wearing a suit of armor. A sword flashed from the girl's side, and the boy's eyes widened. Springing into action, the boy pulled his elbow over his ribcage, and his skin took on a scaled pattern. "Diamond Dragon Scales!" he yelled, and his skin hardened to a dark blue crystalline color, effortlessly blocking the girl's blade.
"Huh. You must be the welcoming party." he said. A pink-haired boy a few years younger than him ran up. "Are you a Dragon Slayer too?" he asked. The boy nodded. "My name is Kato. I am a Dragon Slayer. I am the Diamond Dragon Slayer." he said. The red-haired girl whirled and looked at the pink-haired boy. "Natsu! I was looking for you!" she screamed. Suddenly, she remembered that Kato was still standing there.
She spun around again, and suddenly, she found herself staring into a pair of vibrant green eyes. She blushed, took a half-step back, and quickly bowed apologetically. "I'm so sorry! I was looking for this idiot!" she said, pointing at the pink-haired boy.
Kato grinned and scratched the back of his head. "That's okay, I came here to join this guild to begin with." he said. "What's going on down here? What have you brats destroyed this time?" a giant voice said. Kato looked up and saw a massive dark figure towering over him and the others in the room. "My bad, Master Makarov. This all happened because I walked in." he said "You can deactivate your Titan Magic now." the silver-blonde boy added.
Impressed, Makarov walked off and returned with a guild stamp. Nodding, Kato turned to expose his left shoulder. Makarov pressed the magic item onto the boy, and the Fairy Tail emblem was left in white.
Later, the girl who attacked him when he came in approached Kato. "Hello, my name is Erza, and I just wanted to say welcome to the guild." she said. Kato nodded.
Timeskip to Episode 5
(A/N: Kato is Erza's age and is also S-class)
Loke slammed open the door to the guild hall. "We got bad news!" he said, panting. "It's Erza. She's on her way here." he said, panting. The entire guild began to freak out. "On the plus side, Kato is back too." the orange-haired ring mage said before passing out. "Wow, just mention Erza and the whole place freaks out." Lucy said.
Suddenly, Erza and Kato walked through the door, with Aurum flying right behind them. Kato was carrying a large, white object in one hand. Stopping, Erza turned to look at the guild. "We have returned. Where is Master Makarov?" she asked. Before she could start her lecture, Kato spoke up. "Erza, I think whatever you wanted to drill into them, has been done just by our arrival. Looks like all that practicing you did on the road was for nothing." he said lazily. The entire guild broke out into laughter, but was quickly silenced by Erza's stony glare.
"Anyway, where are Gray and Natsu?" she asked. "Oh, hey Erza, uh, how's it going? We're just hanging out like good friends tend to do." a black-haired Ice Make mage, Gray Fullbuster, said. "Aye!" the pink-haired mage who Kato had met on his first day in Fairy Tail said. Kato burst into laughter. "Oh, man, that's a good one guys. You two? Good friends? AHAHAHAHAHA!" the pale blonde Dragon Slayer said, continuing to fall apart.
"Mother, I wish you could see me now." Kato thought before turning back to hear the rest of Erza's speech. "The four of them? Together? Oh boy, Master's not going to be happy."
Later, on the train from Magnolia to Oshibana, Natsu was sick on the floor, but Erza solved that quickly. Unfortunately, her solution was to knock out the pink-haired Dragon Slayer.
In Onibas, the group climbed off the train and suddenly, Kato realized something. "Oh, crap! We forgot Natsu!" he yelled. Erza began to panic. "This is all my fault, I need one of you to come and hit me for my penance!" she yelled. "Oh, not this crap again." Kato said. "I'm starting to realize all the wizards in the Fairy Tail guild are just a little insane." Lucy said. "Well not all of us." Gray quickly responded, albeit being only in his boxers. "Oh yeah? WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?!" the blonde Celestial Spirit mage shouted.
As Erza climbed onto the front of the Magicmobile, she slipped the SE plug onto her arm, and the group took off in the direction the train. Suddenly, Natsu jumped through the train window and smashed directly into Gray, who was riding on the roof of the Magicmobile.
"That HURT, you idiot!" Gray shouted at the pink-haired mage. "Shut up ya icy freak! How come you guys left me on the train?" Natsu yelled back. "I'm just thankful you're okay, Natsu." Erza said, slamming the poor boy into her armored chest. "GAH! It's okay!" Natsu shrieked. "Well, I'm shaken up pretty bad. I got attacked by a weirdo on the train. I think it was the dude who dragged away the guys who were going to eat Happy! Said he was with Eisenwald." Natsu was then slapped by Erza. "FOOL! That is EXACTLY who we're chasing after on this mission. Why did you let him get away?!" she shouted.
"What the? This is the first I heard about it!" Natsu yelled. "I explained everything on the trai-hmmf!" she got cut off by Kato clamping his hand over her mouth. "Erza, you knocked him out after our little chat, remember?" he asked. Erza blushed. "Oh-oh yeah, I forgot about that." she stammered. "Anyway, this guy had some weird flute thing. It looked like a skull, except it had three eyes." Natsu said. "A three-eyed skull?" Lucy asked. "That's creepy." Gray added. "Is something wrong Lucy?" Happy asked the Celestial Wizard. "It's just, I've heard about that flute before. Lullaby, the cursed song… It's Death Magic!" the blonde yelled. "What?" Erza asked, shocked. "Cursed song? Like an incantation?" Gray said pointedly to Lucy.
"Oh, boy. I think I know what Erigor and Eisenwald want." Kato sighed. "They're after the demon flute. It won't be good if they get their hands on it."
Rushing to Oshibana Station, the group climbed out of the Magicmobile, and Erza began punching out the guards until they eventually were able to get inside. "Step into our parlor, Fairy Tail flies." a voice came from the inside of the station. Looking up, they saw a white-haired man carrying a scythe sitting on top of the loudspeaker. "You fiend! I take it you're Erigor?" Erza yelled at the man. "Why are you doing this?" Lucy asked. "This is a-umph!" Erigor's tyrannical rant was interrupted when Kato leaped into the air and spin-kicked the evil mage off the speakers. Erigor simply flew away, and Erza sent Natsu and Gray after him. "Two girls and a guy against an entire Dark Guild?" Lucy asked frantically.
"Don't worry Lucy. I can handle this by myself." Kato said. "Are you insinuating that I cannot handle these men on my own?" Erza asked, requipping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor. "No, I just know you burned more energy than you'll admit on the Magicmobile, and you need to rest." Kato answered calmly.
"All right! Let's go!" the Eisenwald members shouted as they rushed the light-blonde Dragon Slayer. Pushing his hands out in front of him, a light blue magic circle appeared, and when he swung his arms out to each side, the circle turned into five. "Diamond Dragon's Tearing Gatling!" he shouted, and small, sharp diamonds flew out into the crowd of Dark Mages, embedding themselves into many of the Eisenwald force, and Lucy just stared. "Wow, Kato is so powerful, it's… it's unreal!" she shouted. "Kato?!" a green haired Eisenwald mage said quietly. "I'll finish you myself!" another yelled, surrounding his hands in Light Magic. "How ironic. A Dark Mage using Light Magic." Kato said. "Don't do it Biyard! Do you have any idea who that is?" the green-haired mage said to his friend. Without turning around, Kato back-fisted the man and knocked him out.
"He's Fairy Tail's Diamond Knight, Kato Via!" the green-haired man yelled. "Forget this, I'm out of here!" he yelled, sprinting out of the room. "I suspect he's going to look for Erigor. You should follow him." Erza said pointedly to the seemingly useless blonde Celestial Wizard. "Who, me?" Lucy asked. "Just do it!" Erza shouted, getting annoyed. "Whatever you say! I don't want to make you angry!" the blonde yelled, running from the room.
A few minutes later, everyone reconvened in the central room. As the group discussed what to do about the wind barrier Erigor put outside, Happy suddenly handed Lucy a golden gate key. As they were tunneled outside, they realized Natsu was missing. "That idiot went off to fight Erigor, didn't he. I wish him luck." Kato said. They then took off for Clover. Once they reached Clover Canyon, they found Natsu standing over Erigor's unconscious body. "Hey! You guys just missed seeing me beat Erigor!" the Dragon Slayer said. Gray began arguing about wearing clothes with Natsu. Suddenly, arms made of shadows grabbed the Lullaby flute and took off towards Clover.
As they ran towards the Guild Master Conference, they arrived just in time to see Makarov finish a grand speech to Kageyama, the young Eisenwald wizard. At that moment, Lullaby unleashed its true form, a gigantic wooden demon.
Erza, Gray, Kato, and Natsu ran forward, and began attacking the demon. Erza was slashing at the demon with her Black Wing Armor, Gray was protecting the Masters with his Ice-Make, Natsu was launching flame bullets at the demon, and Kato punctured Lullaby's arms with his diamonds.
Eventually, the demon attempted to play its melody of death, but all that happened was a slight breeze and a whisper.
"ALL RIGHT! WE DID IT!" Natsu yelled, until the four realized something. "WE BLEW UP THE MEETING HALL!" they yelled in unison. The masters began chasing them to where they barely got away.
Back at Fairy Tail, Erza began fighting with Natsu, and they were quickly wearing themselves out, when a strange frog lady clapped and they stopped.
"Oh Mother, I'm afraid we may be in trouble." the Dragon Slayer thought.
Next Time on Fairy Tail's Diamond Knight:
Who is Kato's mother?
Is she important?
Is she anything like Gaara's "mother" ?
You'll see, yes, and oh hell no. Hey guys. For the record, I have not given up on my Naruto fics, but I've been watching Fairy Tail recently, so, yeah. Also, there is a pairing poll! Erza was only introduced because she was there at the time, and her blush came from suddenly being so close. (You know Erza hates that). I also used her for the age thing because it was the easiest. The other choice is Mirajane. Even though Lisanna still dies in this fic, Mira didn't lose her magic or her attitude. So yeah, see y'all next time.
