Not Always Evil
A Fairy Tail and Fullmetal Alchemist Crossover Fan Fiction~
Chapter 1: New Comer
I stood outside of a large building with grand orange doors, a few bright green pillars, red roof tiles, blue tinted windows, white walls, three flags, and golden silhouettes of fairies wrapping themselves around large blue lettering spelling out "Fairy Tail", a guild hall as I believed them to be called, and prepared myself for the worst. I didn't really expect myself to be accepted into this guild seeing as how it was said to be the greatest in all of Fiore.
It had been five years since I came to this world and in that time I learned that though I may not have had any alchemical talents in my old world my powers as a wizard were amazing. Ya kid; you just keep telling yourself that. It was Greed, damn him for being so negative towards me all the time, oh well I suppose I did shoot myself in the foot when it comes to him.
Six Years Ago-
I was lying on the floor, pathetic I know, my face cut open and bleeding furiously, though I could barely feel the pain through the great happiness I was experiencing. A tall man in white just offered me a sorcerer's stone not only that but it would be in my blood making me immortal, this was something that would make me the emperor of Shing and that was something that I had craved my whole life.
"Ling! Don't do this!" Edward shouted from across the room pinned down by a colossal and grotesque beast named Envy. Ed was also in rough shape after being swallowed by Gluttony with me, the only food that we had in the past few days was a leather boot (which I believed to be contaminated with athlete's foot) and we had to fight Envy down there as well and I'm sure we both broke a few ribs. Any way for some reason Ed couldn't use his alchemy in this place and now he was pretty much useless like me, sad but true. He was bleeding from his mouth, a thin trickle of blood was spilling onto the floor, his red trench coat and his black tank top were ripped almost to shreds, and his hair almost all but pulled from its braid, and his auto mail arm was cracked and dented in multiple places.
"Please Ling you don't know what you are doing or what you will become if you go through with this!" this time the screams were coming from Alphonse, Edward's younger brother. He looked much better than his brother with only a few dents in his armor. I yelled back this time "No this is exactly what I want! Ed don't shoot, neither of you interfere!"
Ed had a gun lying next to him and though I didn't expect him to actually use it against this Father guy (not that it would have been of any use) I didn't want him screwing with Father's plans for me. The man in white stepped forward in a slow but steady motion and he said in the smooth voice of his, "Well let's just see if your body is as willing as your mind", as he poured the red liquid into the cut on my face.
The pain that followed was the worst I had felt and have yet to feel in my life, the whole time it felt as though my body was being ripped in half then filled with glass shards then put back together and rubbed back and forth. I started screaming to no one in particular, "Don't interfere!", then to Ed and Al, "I swear I know what I'm doing!" Ed was looking at me with terror in his eyes and I'm sure that Al would have done the same if he could show any expression at all.
After that I'm sure that I passed out, when I woke I was standing, well more like floating before a large evil looking face. It started laughing and when it spoke its voice was deep and full of condescendence, "Am I really supposed to use this little brat? Oh well, just hand over your body I suppose that I'll have to make do."
I shouted back, trying to act brave in front of this monster, "Well, that's fine with me! Consider it yours! You can have it!"
"Huh?" The beast sounded genuinely confused.
"I said come! I freely accept you!"
"You know that people usually reject me right?" again it sounded confused.
"You're talking to the new emperor of Shing, monster! I am no normal man! I have a heart large enough to hold at least twenty or thirty of you!"
It started laughing again, "Well I do like how ambitious you are! Just don't try to change your mind."
"I'll never change my mind! LanFan lost her arm helping me search for this! I couldn't face her again if I came home empty handed! I need this power! I need it to protect! To provide for my people! And I need this to become ruler! I gladly accept all of the risks!"
"Well, you averse is certainly appealing! Let's just see if your stomach matches your appetite. Can you handle this?"
My eyes widened as its massive mouth opened up and he swallowed me. It's a weird feeling being fully aware of everything that your body is doing but not being in control. That's what happened when Greed took over, I could hear Ed calling my name, I wanted desperately to answer but couldn't. After that life was a blur, which is until I could finally overpower Greed and take over control over my body.
Present Day-
I was snapped back to reality when a boy with pink spikey hair, a scarf with rectangle patterns, and a dark gray vest with nothing underneath shoved past me. "Hey! Watch it buddy!" Greed shouted. The boy with pink hair looked at me with shock, "Oh uhh sorry-", I looked at him with apology in my eyes as I interrupted him, "No, no that was the wrong response to you. It really was my fault." He had this weird expression on his face; he probably noticed the change in my voice.
"So what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Well I was hoping to join this guild."
"Really?!" His eyes instantly brightened.
"Ya-", I said with confusion.
"Come with me!" he yelled as he yanked my arm, dragging me through the orange doors and into the guild hall.
"Where are you taking me kid?"
"I'm a member of this guild and I'll take you to master Makarov if you'd like." His voice was very happy as he said this; I started to wonder if I was the first new wizard to come to this guild in a while. I quickly shoved this notion aside, after this entire guild was highly revered here in Fiore and was always in their magazines. You sure that this guild is so interesting; after all I see nothing special in it. That was Greed again, when he said this I actually started to look around the room I was in. It was large, had an area that looked like a bar with a depressed looking woman sitting at it, a large stair case leading up to the second floor, a bulletin board with at least a dozen flyers on it with several people (who I assumed to be other wizards) examining it, and many tables with chairs alongside of them filled the rest of the room. I could now understand where Greed was coming from there didn't seem to be anything very special about this guild at all.
The boy with the pink hair interrupted my thoughts yet again with a question, "So, what's your name?" As he said this he released my hand and stopped.
"Ling, what's yours?"
He flashed me a toothy grin, "Natsu, Natsu Dragneel"
"Natsu? Well that's a weird name."
"Ya, well so is Ling! Anyway what do you expect? The name was given to me by a dragon."
That last sentence was what really got my attention, "A dragon?"
"Ya my dad, well not my real dad, was a fire dragon, he took me in when I had no home, when I could barely walk, and taught me dragon slayer magic. He left me one day though, that's when I joined this guild now this is my home. This is where my family is now." He started pulling me along again, towards the stairs.
Dragon slayer magic? I had heard of it in passing but I thought I was a lost magic, any way this must be what makes this guild so great, I had heard such passion in his voice he obviously loved this guild with all of heart and would do anything to protect it, and not to mention the use of ancient magic.
As we marched up the stairs I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror hanging along the wall. I was wearing my bright yellow long-sleeved shirt with white on the edges; I had black loose fitting pants, black sandals, and a pair of well-fitting white silk gloves on to hide my homunculus mark that was on the backside of my right hand.
"Well here we, are you ready to meet master Makarov?"
"Yes." I had to be.
