AN: Guess who's back, back again? LMMC's back! Tell a friend! Hey guys I'very got a new story for ya. This idea's been stuck in my mind since I discovered my favorite manga/anime series of all time, (i.e Fairy Tail), and I finally got my first chapter done. I hope you guys enjoy it!
Wolf Claw Chapter 1: Come to Fairy Tail
Fire burned through the village. This attack was much more fearsome than the usual robbery and mild violence. This was a full on rampage in Mountainside Village. Tartaros was unrelenting and devious, destroying houses, raping women, killing men. They were truly evil.
"I found him!" One of the evil wizards shouted.
"Bring me his head!" Another shouted. "You have your orders. Kill the traitor! Kill Darko Miller!"
The wizards all charged for the fleeing man. As he was running, Darko grabbed a woman who was unconscious, knocked out from the falling debris. He turned a corner and used an illusion spell to turn him and the woman invisible. He then used another spell to wake the woman from her sleep. She opened her eyes slowly to see Darko looking at her.
"Darko? What happened?" The woman asked weakly.
"Zaria, Tartaros is here. They're looking for me." Darko responded urgently. "We must take the children and leave. NOW!"
"We can't just leave! They'll destroy the entire town!"
"I'm sorry but that's the way it has to be. Now trust me. We need to get back to the house."
Darko and Zaria fled to their home, under the invisibility spell again. When they were almost there, the spell wore off and the evil wizards caught sight of them. When the two finally made it to their home, they ran to their children's room to take them, Darko taking the younger twin. Zaria froze as she stared into the face of her baby, starting to slowly panic.
"Zaria! You must take him!" Darko shouted.
"But what of you Darko? What will happen to us?" Zaria was becoming more and more worried by the second.
"I told you to trust me! Now leave! Take Tyson and leave!"
Zaria grabbed her baby and ran from the home, being invaded by dark mages. One of them caught the sight of the baby and he ran to tell their leader. Darko turned back to see five mages aiming their spells at him. Darko used his magic to create an illusion so he could get himself and his second son out of town, going the opposite direction of his wife. Zaria ran as fast as she could, toward Mt Hakobe.
When she got to the outskirts of the town, she stopped to rest. Tyson started whining in her arms. She tried to soothe him but she was suddenly attacked by a hooded man. She was hit with a strong spell that pushed her and Tyson back a few feet. Tyson started to whine louder.
"Give me the boy, wench!" The man demanded.
"What do you want with him?" Zaria asked worriedly.
"He is the sole heir to the Miller family. He must be mine! Give him here!"
The man reached out and choked the woman. She dropped Tyson to the ground and he started to cry. She couldn't summon any strength thanks to the hooded man's magic. He then crushed her throat in his hands and dropped her limp body to the ground. His attention was turned to the crying infant. He picked up the boy and was about to be on his way when he heard a ferocious roar. The was on edge as he heard more roars and thunderous booming. He looked up to see large storm clouds and a large dragon descending from the clouds. The man tried to battle the dragon, however the dragon completely blew him away, saving Tyson. The dragon then picked up Tyson and flew to the peak of Mt. Hakobe.
"Do not worry, small human. I will take care of you."
~11 Years Later~
Tyson jumped high in the air and blasted down a cyclone of wind and lightning.
"Arashiryu no Houkou!"
The vulcans were blasted off the mountain as Tyson decended to the earth. He looked over to his father, Tempestua. Tempestua was a large, navy blue and dark gray dragon. He had two large, curved horns with a smooth body. His wingspan was twice as long as his body and his tail was as long as his main body. He also had no eyes, so he relied on his sense of hearing, smell, and a sonar that he used through holes in his body that Tyson called, storm holes. Tempestua was a Storm Dragon.
"Excellent job Tyson." Tempestua praised.
"Thanks, dad." Tyson beemed at his father. Tempestua approached him and dropped chains at his feet.
"Now move on to your chain exercises. Down the mountain you go." Tyson groaned as he took the chains and climbed down from the peak of Mt. Hakobe. He then got to around the midway point and saw the blizzard wyvern that tried to take their food the other day. He took the chain in his hands and threw it, making the chain extend many links. It caught the wyvern at the neck and Tyson extended the chain to hook into the side of the mountain, fully restraining the beast. The wyvern screeched until Tyson took pity on it and let it fly away. He brushed some of the snow off of his clothing and started to climb his way back to the peak.
When he reached the top Tempestua was sitting quietly, seemingly asleep.
"I can't believe he fell asleep on me!" Tyson said indignantly.
"I'm simply pondering, Tyson." Tempestua responded.
"Pondering what?"
"Whether or not to grant you your storm holes." Tyson grew excited very quickly. He was finally going to recieve his storm holes. He'd be one step closer to being a fully realized Storm Dragon Slayer.
"I can take it, father. Please grant me this power." Tyson responded dutifully. Tempestua mulled over this for a few moments until he conceded.
"Fine. Stand in front of me, son." Tyson stepped forward until he was right in front of Tempestua. Tempestua held out his claw, touching Tyson on his forehead. Tyson then started to glow on different parts of his body. Twenty-two holes formed on his back. Then one hole formed on each shoulder. Then one on each of his triceps, then forearms, finally one more in each palm, a total of thirty storm holes.
"With this enhancement, you will sense more than ever, you're Storm Dragon Slayer magic will be even stronger. You're on your way to becoming a full dragon. Tyson was filled with joy at his father's praise. "It's about time for bed now Tyson. Make sure you wrap up tight tonight. A blizzard is coming strong tonight."
"Thank you father. Good night. See you in the morning." Tyson bowed to his father as he went into the cave at other side of the mountain. He climbed into his makeshift bed and wrapped in his thick blanket made from the wild mountain goats. He drifted off into a deep sleep, dreaming about a large town and a boy that looked just like him. There were also two adult humans, one male, one female. They seemed to be playing with the boy that looked like him, but it wasn't Tyson. His hair was white, not blonde. His eyes were black, not blue, and his clothing was not his own. They also kept calling him "Andre".
Then they started to call Tyson over. A small light danced around them, almost like a...fairy. Before Tyson could reach them, however, he woke up. The air was still and quiet and the mountain was colder than usual. Almost as if Tempestua's warmth wasn't radiating. He must have gone out for a hunting trip. He went outside the cave and saw that Tempestua was indeed, gone. However, unlike his usual departures, he left no signal as to when he was coming back. Tyson looked around for something, but found nothing. That's when he started to get worried.
Hours passed and Tempestua didn't return. By the time sundown came, Tyson drew a sullen conclusion. His father was gone, and not returning. Days passed and Tempestua never returned. Tyson then decided to leave Mt. Hakobe. He took up all of his belongings, consisting of a few shirts and pants. Some underwear and socks, and a pair of boots. He also took his wool blanket, his chains, and a ring containing fire spells.
As he made his way to the bottom of the mountain, vulcans started to attack him. He took them down swiftly, thanks to the power granted to him by his storm holes. It took him about an hour to clear a path and make his way all the way down the mountain. He set up camp in an abandoned town in the Hakobe region. When he woke, he continued walking, not knowing where to go. He wandered until he reached the forest. He started getting hungrier, his food supplies getting scarcer. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he fell to the ground, exhausted. He thought that he would perish until a hand tapped him on his back.
"Can you stand?" A voice asked. It sounded young and feminine. He looked up to see a girl with medium length scarlet hair, some sort of armor, and a sword. She looked to be Tyson's age. She had a look of concern on her face as she gazed down at the exhausted dragon slayer. With all of his remaining strength, Tyson shook his head no. Seemingly satisfied with this answer, the girl picked him up and put his arm on her shoulder, holding him up. She reached in the bag she had with her and pulled out a pouch full of bread. She broke off a large piece and put it towards Tyson's mouth. He opened his mouth and bit down, his taste buds eagerly accepting this foreign food. Up on the mountain, his meals consisted of carrots, mountain goats, and the occasional bear. He scarfed down the loaf almost immediately.
"Have you never had bread before or something?" The girl asked seriously.
Tyson shook his head. "I've only had the things on Mt. Hakobe." He responded honestly. The girl looked at him with shock.
"So did you live in the mountains or something?"
"Yeah. Up until about five days ago at least. I lived there with my father, Tempestua. Have you seen him? He's hard to miss. A giant dark blue dragon with gray markings." The girl looked at him as if he had two heads.
"Dragons are extinct." Immediately after saying this, she regretted it. Tyson threw her arm away and staggered back a few steps. He then got in her face again.
"Don't you ever say that! Tempestua is alive! I just have to find him." Tyson shouted. The girl threw up her arms in defense.
"I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just going by what my master has told me, and the books I've read." She defended. Tyson calmed down a bit.
"Who are you anyway? Why are you near Mt. Hakobe?" Tyson inquired.
"My name is Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail. I'm taking a mission to kill a large forest wyvern." Erza held up a flier to prove herself. Tyson examined it and read it aloud.
"Large, troublesome wyvern has been destroying farms and eating livestock. Please excercise caution. Found in forests near Mt. Hakobe."
Erza folded they flier back up. "Now, who are you?" She asked.
"I am Tyson Draco, son of Tempestua. I'm a dragon in training."
Erza studied him up and down. She eyed his tattered, yet heavy clothes, the large chain around his torso, and his almost snout like nose and slanted eyes. She then noticed he was about her age.
"Did he teach you to read and write?"
"He taught me loads of things. How to read, write, hunt, use magic. Wait. You said something about Fairy Tail. Isn't that a wizard's club?"
"Wizard's guild." Erza corrected. "But yes. Have you heard of it?"
"Tempestua said they were only good for starting trouble," Erza was a bit offended by this. "But he also said that that was his favorite club."
"Guild!"
"Sorry. Guild." Erza then started off again. Going deep into the forest. Tyson followed her. "Do you think you'll need any help?"
"If I needed help, I would have brought someone from my guild." She responded confidently. "Besides, it's just one wyvern how bad-"
She was interrupted by a large claw knocking her down to the ground. Tyson looked up to see a giant green wyvern. It had giant orange spikes down it's back and to its tail. It also had large scales all over its body. Tyson almost mistook it for a dragon, until it saw that it's wings were attached to its arms. It also had an ugly face with large teeth and small, beedy eyes.
Tyson went into action mode, jumping high into the air, so that he was eye level with the beast. He then started to channel his magic energy.
"Arashiryu no Doshaburi!"
He instantly sent forth a barge of large water bullets. The wyvern screeched as it was pelted by the bullets. Tyson then shot forward using the wind.
"Arashiryu no Sanda Juden!"
Tyson was covered in lightning as he went straight through the chest of the wyvern and out the other side. He looked back to see the wyvern falling to the ground, dead. Erza saw the entire thing. She was amazed with the power of the boy. She looked up to see him above her, his hand outstretched. She took it reluctantly and got up.
"How did you learn that type of magic?" Erza asked.
"Like I told you, my dad was a dragon." Tyson responded honestly. Erza looked him over once more, a sense of admiration in her stare. Then, for the first time since he met her, she cracked a smile.
"Come with me, were going to Fairy Tail."
After camping the night in the forest, the two headed towards Clover, heading back to Magnolia. They traveled by train, so about midway through, Tyson started feeling nauseous. Erza asked what was wrong and he had no idea how to answer her. She soothed him with some medicinal herbs she brought with her. After the train ride was over, they exited the station. When the two arrived in Magnolia, Tyson was amazed by the town. He's never seen so many people, such tall buildings, such a lively atmosphere. They walked the streets all the way through Magnolia, passing the magic shop, Lendis, the toy store, Tom, the HalfCocor Hotel, and the Caldia Cathedral. They finally made it to the edge of Magnolia, the Fairy Tail Guild.
Tyson stopped to examine the building. It had three floors, with the guild's banner at the very top. It had green windows and a big red door. The sign read "FAIRY TAIL" and it had two fairies on each end. Tyson was too busy marveling the building to see two people go in; a tall teen, about four years older than Tyson and Erza. He had spiky blonde hair and a lightning shaped scar on his right eye. He also had headphones on. The other man was even taller than the teen. He had orange hair, a stubbly face, a large, dark brown cloak and a traveler's pack.
Erza nudged Tyson, egging him to enter the guild. He took a few cautious steps and reopened the doors. He saw many people. They were loud, boisterous, and full of life. He walked in with Erza and she called out for the master. All of a sudden, a small, old man waddled his way toward the two preteens.
"Yes Erza. What can I do ya for?" The old man asked chipperly.
"Master Makarov, this is Tyson Draco." Erza introduced. "Tyson, this is Master Makarov."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master. Makarov." Tyson said with a bow.
"Why look at that. A boy with respect like Erza! You don't see that everyday," Makarov enthused. "Nice to meet you too Tyson."
"I was wondering, Master, could Tyson stay here for a while?"
"Of course he can. But what's wrong with you're own home, might I ask?"
Tyson paused a bit before continuing. "My father, Tempestua, left me alone on Mt. Hakobe a few days ago. I was all but dead before Erza came along."
"Why that's awful. Why don't we have dinner now since everyone's home. Reedus, Wakaba, Macao, Enno. Make sure you finish cooking soon. Dinner time is almost here."
Four people stood up. One was a thin man with puffy, afro-like hair and a witch's hat. Another man had pompadour like hair with black shades on. He had a cigarette in his mouth too. The third man had spiky blue hair and chin stubble. The fourth person was a woman. She had short, dark purple hair and purple eyes and a two piece dancer outfit on. They all went behind the bar to the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.
After the dinner was over and Tyson was full, he got up from the table he was sitting at with Erza. He picked up his bag and started to leave the guild.
"Wait son, where are you going?" Makarov said. Tyson stopped and turned to look at him. He smiled warmly at the old man.
"Thank you for the hospitality, but I don't want to burden you anymore. I'll be on my way now." He started walking again.
"There are no burdens here. At least not from my children." Tyson stopped again after hearing him say this. He turned to see Makarov with his hand outstretched. "You are always welcome to stay here, as a member of Fairy Tail.
Tyson was shocked by the invitation. Erza was standing behind Makarov with a smile on her face. The rest of the guild got up and got behind Makarov, welcoming Tyson to their guild. Tyson simply stood still until a tear fell down his face. He ran to them and hugged Makarov, eternally thanking him for having him.
Makarov set up a room in the basement of the guild for Tyson to stay before he got adjusted. After giving him the guild's insignia (placed on his left bicep), Tyson moved all of his things into the room. It had a bed, a desk, a chair, and access to the shower room in the guild. Tyson set up some paper and a quill at the desk and began to write.
Dear Tempestua,
I joined a guild today. I made a new friend. Her name is Erza. She's really strong and kinda strict, but still fun. And Master Makarov and the whole guild welcomed me and fed me and everything. One day though, I'm gonna find you, dad. And I'll show you exactly how powerful I've become. I'll be just as good a dragon as you.
Sincerely, Tyson T Draco.
