It's MasterTecnician6002 here. Well, actually that's obvious. I mean, it clearly states that where the author's name is. Anyway, I've a new story I'm beginning work on. I recently just created an account on Fanfiction, and I want this story to be my first. It's a crossover between Pocket Monster Reburst and Fairy Tail. Yes, I know it says Pokémon but the only reason it does is because Pocket Monster Reburst isn't popular enough to be on Fanfiction. I really hope that whoever decides to give this story a chance, however few you may be, enjoy this story.
Now for those of you who haven't heard of it, Pocket Monster Reburst is a Pokémon manga that centers on human beings with the ability to "burst", which is fusion with Pokémon. For those of you who have read it, I just want to say in advance that it may be different from the actual manga because I've never actually read it completely and I was only able to find bits and pieces of information. But I really like it which is why I decided to give it a shot on Fanfiction. It stinks that the original writers didn't get very far, but I'll write a little from what the author wrote and make up the rest of it. So without further ado, I present to you the first chapter of Faerie Tail Reburst!
Chapter 1- Burst Warrior, Fire Mage, Celestial Wizard and a Flying, Talking Cat
Long ago, human beings discovered very strange and unique creatures. These creatures had existed long before even the humans and varied from species to type, but what was unique about them was that they could perform various attacks without the use of ethernano. But some of the human beings, darkness flooding their hearts, wished to keep this power for themselves and began to control the creatures to do their evil bidding. The other humans sought a way to protect the monsters and eventually learned to contain these creatures by sealing them away into small, pocket-sized crystals termed "Burst Hearts" and due to the size convenience of the Burst Hearts the creatures were named Pokémon, short for monsters that could easily be fitted into one's pocket, or pocket monsters. Although they were saddened that they had to take away the freedom of these Pokémon, it was the only way to protect them.
However, when humans first attempted to fuse with these Pokémon, many of them almost died. It was soon discovered that only certain people could use this magic. And even at that, the person would need to undergo a rigorous training of both body and mind in order to fully utilize this power. Those who could actually complete the training enjoyed the fruits of their labor with the immense power granted them once they fused with the Pokémon. However, burst warriors are extremely rare, and the few who can use it, unfortunately, choose to walk the path of evil. There is one human, however, with a pure heart and a desire to use his power to protect his friends and those close to him...
A young man stood up from in train that had just arrived at a port in Hargeon. He looked to be about nineteen years old and had turquoise colored hair and sapphire colored eyes. His wardrobe consisted of a black shirt under a white jacket, with white pants and black boots with a white stripe running down the middle. He also had brown fingerless gloves on, though on the back of his right hand there was a cut out hole with an odd shape. He had a silver backpack on his back as well and a ring on his right middle finger that resembled a small dragon, with a silver headgear with a open top revealing his hair to the world and long sides which reached all the way to his ears, with the section that covered is ears bearing a circle which was multicolored, the top half being red in color while the bottom half was white.
This was Tamura Mitsuhisa.
He was just about getting off the train when he noticed two figures nearby. The first was a young male, lean, muscular and of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, a gold trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reached his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals and a scale-patterned scarf. He had a rolled up comforter strapped across his back. The other figure was a small blue cat with a green knapsack on its back. However, what actually caught the attention of Tamura was the condition of the boy.
The top half of his body was hanging out the open window. His cheeks were puffy and his face appeared to be blue in color. The blue cat sitting next to him jumped down from the seat and walked out the door, which confused Tamura. He walked over to the pink haired boy.
"Are you alright?" Tamura asked.
"Yeah... just... get me off...this...death trap...please..." He begged. Tamura took pity on him and put the pink haired boy's right arm over his shoulder and made his way to the door. Before he could reach it, the conductor announced that the train was going to leave and the train slowly began to move.
"NOOOOOOO!" The pink haired boy shouted, paling in anticipation of the next torture session that he would have to face. Tamura, however, had other plans. Noticing an open window, he grabbed the arm of the boy and sprinted towards it, then making a jump and just barely landing on the ground.
Tamura stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. "Whew. That was a close one. Are you okay-" He turned to ask his the pink haired boy but was met with a surprising sight. Tamura was expecting him to still be slightly sick and recovering but was instead met with the sight of him standing tall and strong as if he'd never been motion sick in the first place.
OH YEAH! NATSU DRAGNEEL IS ALIVE AGAIN! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID TRAIN!" The boy, now identified as Natsu Dragneel shouted, while letting out a breath of fire from his mouth, further shocking Tamura. At that moment the blue cat that accompanied Natsu flew with two large, white feathered wings sticking out of its back landed on the dock in front of Natsu. Immediately Natsu expression changed from one of happiness and ecstasy to one of annoyance.
What the heck, Happy? Were you going to let me suffer through another demonic train ride? How could you do that to me?" Natsu complained.
"Quit overreacting Natsu," Happy replied. "If you hadn't gotten off the train before it left, I would have just flown over to the next port and met you there. Besides, this nice stranger helped you get off the train, so instead of complaining to me, you should be thanking him."
Natsu turned to Tamura like he'd forgotten he was present. "Oh yeah. Sorry about that. Thanks for helping off that death trap. I'm Natsu Dragneel, by the way."
"Aye! I'm Happy the cat!" Happy introduced himself.
"Who are you?" Natsu asked Tamura.
Tamura, who had gotten over his initial shock, stretched out his hand and gave Natsu a smile. "I'm Tamura Mitsuhisa. Nice to meet you, Natsu and Happy."
"So, what brings you to Hasgeod?" Natsu asked as the trio walked, getting a look of confusion from Tamura.
"I think he means Hargeon," Happy clarified, this time receiving a look of recognition from Tamura.
"I'm actually just passing through. I've been traveling for three days straight, and hopefully, that'll be my last stop before I reach my destination. If I'm lucky, then I should reach my destination by this evening." Tamura explained. "Why are you two here? Due to the fact that you were breathing fire earlier, and you were flying around with two wings sticking out from your back, I'm assuming you're wizards. Are you here on some kind of mission?"
"Nah, nothing like that. We're looking for Salamander." Natsu explained.
"Salamander? Isn't that the fire mage from the guild Fairy Tail that's so powerful that his fire magic is rare and uncommon? He's in this town?"
"Actually no. We're looking for my dad, Igneel. He's a dragon!" Natsu said excitedly.
"A dragon? Tamura asked, now intrigued. He wondered if it was one of the normal dragons that existed in this world or one of the special ones. Before he could inquire further he heard multiple female voices, and the trio noticed a crowd not too far ahead of them, although it was entirely made up of girls. The trio listened to what the crowd was saying, which was mostly showering a figure that they were surrounding with compliments.
"Salamander! You look so tall and handsome!" A voice of a girl said.
"He's so awesome and dreamy!" Another one shouted.
Natsu, Tamura and Happy and looked at each other in a mixture of shock and happiness and broke out into a sprint, although the latter was more present in the faces of Natsu and Happy, as it seemed that the reason for their search had been found.
"Wow, Happy! We're in luck today!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Aye!" Happy responded.
Tamura, however, was more skeptical than his companions about the whole situation. After all, there were multiple things that were irregular about the whole situation. "Guys, I'm not sure this is the guy you're looking for," Tamura shouted as they ran.
"What makes you say that?" Natsu asked.
"Well, for starters, if this Salamander is a dragon like you're looking for, then a normal reaction for people to have, especially in a community where there are barely any wizards, if any, the proper, or at least most logical response would be for them to run away, screaming in terror, not to shower it in complements. Also, the space the crowd is surrounding looks much too small, even for a young dragon. Most likely the crowd is surrounding a person or a group of people." Tamura stated. No sooner did he finish his analysis did they reach the front of the crowd, only to be faced with a man, just like Tamura guessed. The man had light skin, blue hair along with a strange mark above his right eye. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt with red running along the edges, red pants with back lines running vertically along them, and black shoes. He also wore a cape with a purple exterior, a white interior and gold edges. The cape had multiple wheel like symbols on the outside. To finish the look he wore gold bracelets on his right wrist along with two rings on his index finger and middle finger. He didn't seem to notice the arrival of the trio. His attention seemed to be focused elsewhere, more specifically on one of the girls in the crowd, who had hearts in her eyes just like all the other girls in the crowd.
She had long shoulder-length blonde hair, with part of it held up in the air by a blue bow and brown eyes. Her clothing consisted of a white blouse with blue edges and a blue stripe running horizontally across the chest area, along with a blue skirt that stopped just above her knees, with a brown belt hanging around her waist. Hooked on the belt were a ring of keys, along with a brown whip. She also had black boots that reached all the way to her knees.
"Who the heck are you supposed to be?" Natsu said, finally catching the attention of the Salamander, who finally turned his attention away from the blonde haired girl to stare at this newcomer in shock while turning pale. None of the wizards had noticed that once Natsu started speaking the blonde girl had look all signs of ever being infatuated with this Salamander.
"I'm the famous wizard, Salamander. Surely you must've heard of me before, ri-Hey wait a minute!" Salamander shrieked, finally noticing that the trio had stopped listening and was making their through the crowd of girls. Tamura stood at the front with Happy, while Natsu lagged behind. Tamura was slightly proud of himself for his spot on analysis, but at the same time he was also disappointed, as he'd been excited at the prospect of meeting a real dragon, while Natsu and Happy were downright disappointed that they'd come all this way for nothing. Unfortunately, the girls didn't take too kindly to the fact that their idol was simply brushed off like nothing important and so attacked the nearest poor soul that they could get their hands on, which was Natsu.
"You're so rude!" One the girls said while attacking Natsu.
"Salamander is a great wizard! You better apologize to him now!" Another said.
"What the heck is wrong with these girls?!" Natsu asked through his beating, while Tamura, Happy and the blonde hair girl just looked on in pity and slight embarrassment.
"Now, now, ladies, please stop. I'm sure the boy didn't mean to be rude." Salamander said, causing all the girls to shift their mood from anger back the lovestruck expression they held before. Both Tamura and the blonde haired girl noticed the ring on his index finger sparkle for a split second, and both teens narrowed their eyes in suspicion at the famous wizard.
Salamander helped Natsu up from his place on the floor and asked for a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled something on it before handing it to Natsu.
"Take this, kid. It's my autograph. Now you can show this off to all your friends and brag about your meeting with the great Salamander." Salamander said.
"No thanks," Came the annoyed reply. "I got gotta get out of here." This response only seemed to further annoy the crowd of girls, who proceeded to pound Natsu once again before throwing him into some nearby trash.
"I guess it wasn't Igneel after all." Happy commented.
"Definitely not," Natsu groaned.
"Are you just figuring that out? I think it goes without saying that the douchebag we just encountered was absolutely not the Salamander you were looking for. That stinks, too. I really wanted to meet a real life dragon!" Tamura said.
Salamander simply watched the situation unfold before opening his mouth to speak. "As entertaining as this is, I'm afraid I have business to attend to elsewhere." He stated.
"You're leaving already?!" The girls shouted in unison with sadness in their voices. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
"Time for the Red Carpet," Salamander muttered to himself. He snapped his fingers, and a red magic circle appeared in front his hand, and purple fire shot out of it. The fire formed a spiral, allowing the Salamander to step on it as his lifted him up into the air. "Don't worry, darlings. I'm having a party on my yacht tonight, and all you lovely ladies are invited!" He shouted as he flew off into the air. After he left all the girls lost their lovestruck expression, but seemed a bit confused. They remembered the events that had just transpired, but still seemed a bit dazed, which Tamura also took note of.
"Who was that guy?" Natsu wondered. Just then the blonde haired girl walked up to the trio.
"I'm not sure, but he seemed really creepy. Thanks for your help!" She replied. She stretched out her hand to Natsu. "I'm Lucy. Who are you guys?"
"I'm Natsu Dragneel!"
"I'm Happy!"
"Tamura."
"Well, would you mind if I take you to get something to eat as a thank you for your help?" Lucy offered, facing Natsu although she was talking to all three of them. Tamura saw this and a devilish smile appeared on his face.
"Wow, you only just met and you're asking him out? Super direct." He commented causing himself and Happy to burst out laughing while Natsu looked confused and Lucy's face was bright red.
"I'm just trying to be nice! Don't make it creepy!" She shouted, attracting looks from people passing by.
"Relax. I'm just messing with ya. If you really want to take us out, there some nice restaurant not too far from here. It's called Griffin's Horse, and their food is pretty cheap, but good. I can even pay for some, if you want."
Natsu, Happy and Lucy all beamed, but for completely different reasons. "Thanks!" Lucy said. "I'm super broke now, anyway." She muttered under her breath.
"All right! Free food! Count me in!" Natsu shouted.
"Aye, sir!" Happy agreed. Tamura just looked at them, before smiling to himself.
True to Tamura's statement, after some walking the group came across the restaurant that he spoke about. Upon arrival, a waitress came by there table in order to inquire about what they would like to eat. While Tamura and Lucy ordered small meals, Natsu ordered two plates of every dish on the menu, while Happy ordered all the fish in the restaurant. Once the food arrived, Natsu proceeded to eat as if he hadn't eaten in days, picking up as much food as he could in his hands and shoving it down his throat. Lucy secretly wondered how he was able to eat so much food at such a fast rate without choking.
"So, your names are Natsu, Happy, and Tamura, right? Lucy asked, trying to start a conversation and simultaneously trying to get Natsu to slow down his eating, but her efforts did little to achieve her goal as Natsu simply replied to question while still stuffing his face.
"Yeah, that's us," Natsu said, although at this point in time he was eating so fast e caused food to go flying all over the restaurant, hitting a few other people who were also eating, earning them a few dirty looks. Lucy and most of the other people tried as best as they possibly could to avoid the food that was flying all over the place, while Tamura just deflected any food that came his way into a nearby trash can while still enjoying his meal.
"Um, you guys don't have to eat so fast. In case you hadn't noticed, food is kinda flying all over the place." Lucy said, continuing in her attempt to get Natsu and Happy to slow down with their eating and still dodging food particles coming her way. Although she was able to avoid most of it, some food particles still managed to find her face. I'm so lucky Tamura is here, Lucy thought to herself as Tamura handed her a napkin to clean the food off her face. If not I might've lost the only money I saved from that old geezer's shop!
Tamura, meanwhile, was observing their new female companion. He'd already determined that she was a wizard, evident by her magic power which was larger than an average wizard. He continued to look over her, his eyes finally landing on the brown pouch that he hadn't noticed earlier containing six keys, three of them gold and three of them silver, all of the bows of the silver keys having a simple design. The first sliver key had a circular bow with the symbol of the Lyre stamped on it in blue.
The second silver key had the bow designed similarly to a cuckoo clock with a crest in the middle, colored brown.
The final silver key had a bow with a design similar to Cross with the crest colored in green at the center on top of a white diamond shaped center.
The gold ones were a different story, however, each one being unique in its design. The first gold key was designed similarly to that of an upside down bow with two handles on either side. The center of the bow was white, the crest of the Water Bearer stamped on it in blue, with a heart on its base. The blade of the key is designed similarly to that of a mermaid tail, with fins sprouting out of either side of the base of the bow, and four more at the tip curling towards the center.
The bow of the next gold key had the head of a bull carved at its base with two horns sprouting out of both its sides, surrounding a white center with the crest of the Golden Bull colored in black. The blade of the key was designed similarly to that of a double sided axe, each sign designed with an S facing the opposite direction. The blade then finished off with a pointed tip.
The final gold key had the center of its bow as white, with the crest of the crab stamped on it in maroon, and two spikes sprouting from each side. The base of the bow was sculpted similarly to that of the head of a crab, while the top is that of a crab's pincer. The blade of the key ended with a crab shaped design, with four legs sprouting out of each side and the tip designed with two pincers.
Tamura recognized the key as those belonging to Celestial Spirits, and identified the ones Lucy was currently carrying around as belonging to the spirits of Lyra, Horologium, Crux, Aquarius, Taurus and Cancer respectively.
"You're a nice person!" Natsu said, although with all the in his mouth it came out sounding like "Yhuurr ah naiz burzoon!"
"I don't think you guys noticed but that Salamander guy was using a charm spell to hypnotize all the girls in town to become infatuated with him. Charm spell have the ability to utilize magic in order to make anyone of the opposite gender fall in love with the caster. As a matter of fact the Magic Council banned them a few years back because they disliked the nature of the magic. Shows you how much trouble that creep must've gone through in order to get that ring." Lucy finished with disgust evident on her face.
Her expression changed to one of happiness and gratitude."Luckily, you guys barged in when you did and broke the spell! Honestly, I can't thank you guys enough for your help. If it weren't for you I'd probably still be under that slime ball's spell!"
"I know it's probably not noticeable, but I'm actually a wizard!" Lucy informed them.
"Is that so?" Natsu asked while he ate.
"On the contrary," Tamura said. "Anyone observing you closely would easily be able to identify you as a Celestial Wizard. At the very least another wizard would most likely be able to sense your magical energy. If I'm not mistaken, then you hold the keys of Lyra the Harp, Horologium the Clock, Crux the Southern Cross, Aquarius the Water Bearer, Taurus the Golden Bull and Cancer the Giant Crab."
Lucy looked at him surprised. "Wow, you really know your stuff!" she said. Natsu and Happy weren't really paying attention to their conversation.
Tamura grinned. "I make a point to always know things. After all, knowledge is power. But I don't see a guild mark anywhere. Does that mean you haven't joined one? Or is it hidden?"
"No, I'm not a part of any guild. I guess I should explain it," Lucy said, assuming that Natsu and Happy wouldn't understand what she was talking about. "A guild is organization made up of wizards who come together to share knowledge and find some work to do for their upkeep. Majority of people don't see those that can use magic as wizards until they join a guild."
Lucy's expression adopted that of one similar to a fangirl, muttering mostly to herself at this point in time. "But there are lots of different guilds all over the world, and it's really difficult to get into the more popular ones, and the one I wish to join is extremely popular! They're super awesome and they're frequently featured in Sorcerer Weekly! I'd die if I could convince them to let me join!" Lucy finished, while the three males present shot themselves bemused looks.
"I'm sorry; I got a little carried away there. By the way, didn't you guys say you were looking for someone?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah! We're looking for Igneel!" Happy answered.
"One of our friends told us that a Salamander was going to pass through this town so we came to see if we knew him. Too bad it was some loser." Natsu said.
"Yeah, that guy didn't even look like a Salamander!" Happy added. "I bet he couldn't even breathe fire like a real dragon!"
Lucy sweatdropped at this comment. "This Igneel guy you're looking for resembles a dragon?" She asked.
"Not exactly. He doesn't look like one. He is one." Natsu said simply.
Immediately a memory from a movie Lucy watched once appeared in her head. A dragon was wreaking havoc on a city, destroying houses and breathing fire everywhere. "Huh?" Lucy asked, still not comprehending the situation completely.
"Aye! Igneel is an actual fire dragon!" Happy clarified.
"Why would a fire breathing dragon appear in the middle of town?" Lucy questioned, slightly freaked out. "That sounds totally insane!"
"Yeah, we get that now," Happy said.
"I didn't actually come looking for a dragon. This is just a stop on my way to the final destination!" Tamura explained, until he remembered something, and his eyes widened in shock.
"What time is it?" He asked in a small voice. Lucy looked at a nearby clock and informed him of the time, inquiring of him if there was a problem.
"OH NO! I'M GONNA MISS IT!" Tamura shrieked, causing nearby people to throw strange looks at him. He reached into his backpack a pulled out a heap of 1000 jewel notes and dumped them on the table.
"Sorry guys, I have to go, now!" Tamura said hurriedly "Nice to have met you guys!" He said as he ran out of the shop while causing dust to fly up into the air.
Tamura continued running until he reached the train station. He noticed a train docked at the station, so maybe there was still hope and he wasn't too late. He walked over to a nearby man who had a mustache who was boarding the train.
"Excuse me, sir. Is this the train to-" Tamura didn't finish his question as the conductor announced that the train was leaving and the man apologized before running aboard to avoid missing his train. Tamura thought about going to ask somebody else, but he figured it would just be a waste of time and decided to stand and watch the train for a few seconds, but left after he was completely positive that the train had a different destination and he'd already missed his train, meaning he would have to spend the night in Hargeon.
Luckily, he already had a place to stay, and it wouldn't be much of a hassle for him to buy a few ingredients so he could make some food to hold him until the following morning, when he could leave as the train that left was the last one to leave for the day.
After he left the train station he went back into town and started exploring and sightseeing instead of heading home. As he walked, he heard a voice call out to him:
"Hey Takeda, what's up," the voice questioned. Tamura let a grin break out onto his face as he turned around to see the figures of Happy and Natsu walking towards him, with Natsu waving. He didn't even care that Natsu had gotten his name wrong.
"Hey guys! What's up?" Tamura asked as they once again walked around.
"Nothing much. After you left that Lugi girl ditched us too," Natsu said with a sour look on his face.
"Now that I think about it, didn't you say you had to catch a train?" Happy asked. At the mention of the word 'train' Natsu's cheeks puffed out immediately, and he held his hand over his mouth as tried to prevent himself from vomiting, which Tamura noticed.
"Is he okay?" Tamura asked, concerned.
"He's fine. He just has a severe case of motion sickness, and he really can't stand riding in any forms of transportation. Even the mention of it sometimes causes him to be sick," Happy explained.
"To answer your question, I'd already missed my train, so I'll just hang out here in a place my dad owns for the night and leave in the morning." Tamura answered.
"Well, do you mind letting us stay in your place? We really don't have anywhere to stay, or even money for a ticket!" Natsu stated.
"What happened to all that money I gave you guys?" Tamura inquired.
Natsu and Happy looked away sheepishly. "We kinda used it all up after you left," Natsu replied, rubbing the back of his head.
Tamura just smiled. "Well, I'd be happy to let you guys lodge with me, and tomorrow I can pay for a ticket for you guys to go wherever it is you want," Tamura offered. He did not expect to find Natsu and Happy on the floor with tears in their eyes as they expressed their gratitude in a very embarrassing manner.
Just then Tamura overheard a couple of girls talking, but what really caught his attention was when he heard one of them say that the Salamander that they'd met earlier was a member of the Fairy Tail guild.
"No way…" Tamura muttered.
"What is it?" Natsu asked.
"Some girls said that the Salamander we met earlier is a member of Fairy Tail!" Tamura responded. Natsu narrowed his eyes.
"So he's a member of Fairy Tail, eh?" Natsu said. "I'll just have to confront him about it! You coming Tamura?" Natsu asked.
"Heck yeah! Just give me a sec," He said as Happy grew wings, which Tamura raised an eyebrow at but said nothing more, and flew Natsu towards the ship while Natsu tried not to get sick thinking about the battle that lay before him.
Tamura meanwhile had backed into a corner where it would be difficult for someone to see. He took his bag and brought out a box, opening it to reveal different looking pocket sized jewels. Tamura sorted through them before pulling out one and grinning. He put the box back in his bag and hid it behind some nearby trashcans.
"IT'S TIME TO BURST!" Tamura shouted and he was surrounded by a bright light, and he suddenly changed.
In his placed was a humanoid looking creature that resembled Tamura, but was different in many ways. The lower half of his face was now cream colored, while the upper half was a light blue color, connected to a puffy, wave-like cress filled with pure water. His neck and upper shoulders possessed a blue frilled-like feature. His lower body and skinny forelimbs are cream-colored, and its hands had no fingers, aside from a thumb, while his large feet both have three toes each. He had a long tail has a clover-shaped tip. Finally, his eyes were now oval shaped, and permanently closed, although it didn't seem to present a problem to him as he jumped really high into the air and turned his head downward so that his cress was facing the ground before shooting out a stream of water, which catapulted him as continued to do this, getting closer to Salamander's ship.
Tamura jumped through the open hole in the top of the ship, briefly taking note of Happy, who was now carrying Lucy with his tail. However, to Happy and Lucy, Tamura appeared as a blur of blue, tan, and cream.
"Whoa! Who was that?" Lucy asked, flabbergasted.
"I think that was Tamura," Happy speculated. "He said he'd come help us! Wonder why he looked different, though."
Meanwhile, on the boat, Tamura had just landed on the boat and faced the cannon fodder he was about to fight. The guys didn't look very impressive, so he figured that even without Natsu's help, he could easily take on everyone except maybe the Salamander guy.
"Whoa, what the heck is that?" One guy asked.
"He looks like some kind of monkey. But why does it have its eyes closed?"
"Does it matter?" Salamander asked. "It doesn't even look that impressive, not mention even with the help of that pink haired loser we still outnumber them one hundred to one. Go get him, men!"
At the sound of that order a group of them armed with weapons charged at Tamura, who simply smirked at the sight. One aimed a fist at Tamura, but he grabbed his arm mid-swing and threw him into another guy, sending them over the railing and into the water. Tamura faced three other guys, who pulled out rifles and opened fire on the hybrid. Tamura easily dodged them, while his claws extended themselves and began to glow white. "Scratch!" Tamura shouted, doing exactly as the name of his move implied, sending a bunch of guys into the wall, too injured to get back up. "Water Gun!" Tamura said, jumping into the air before opening up his mouth wide and expelling a stream of water with so much force that it sent more men flying through the air.
Tamura landed back on the boat and readied himself to continue fighting, but at that moment a huge wave hit the ship, obliterating it completely and sending all of its passengers airborne. Tamura barely had enough time to grab all the girls on board the ship as well as Natsu, but managed to do so and landed on the shore. Tamura could easily hear the shout of Salamander, questioning why the sea was upset, and Lucy, screaming something about not wanting to be washed away with the boat. Tamura dropped all the girls on the shore, and then jumped on top of the boat which was now lying on its side.
"Alright, Natsu. We're off the boat so you should be cured of your motion sickness. Now let's knock this guy into next week," Tamura said, moving forward to resume the fight, but Natsu moved his arm in front of him, blocking his path. Tamura sent a questioning look at Natsu, but he simply smirked.
"Don't worry. I can handle this," He said with such confidence that Tamura relented and went to stand with Lucy and Happy on the shore.
"Hey guys," Tamura greeted.
"Whoa! Is that you Tamura?" Lucy asked in shock.
"The one and only," he replied.
"But, why do you look like a monkey? Happy asked.
Tamura laughed. "I'll explain later. Let's watch Natsu show these guys why you don't mess with a wizard."
Natsu looked at his remaining opponents who were still conscious. "So, 'Salamander' you claim to be a member of Fairy Tail?"
"Yeah?" Salamander replied. "Why does it matter to you? Get him men!"
"Let me get a good look at your face."
More of the Salamanders henchmen ran at Natsu, but he effortlessly knocked them away with one hand, receiving a look of shock from Salamander.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, Fairy Tail wizard, and I've never seen you before!" Natsu proclaimed as he shed his outer cloak, revealing a red emblem on his right shoulder.
"WHAT?!" Lucy shouted in surprise. Tamura was also partially surprised, although he didn't show it. But as he thought it over it explained why he was so determined to confront the Salamander guy.
At the sound of that revelation most of the Salamander's men became nervous. "Bora, there's no mistaking it. That guy over there is authentic!" One guy shouted to the Salamander who was now exposed as a fake and properly known as Bora.
"I think I've heard of this guy before. That's Bora the Prominence. According to the rumors he was expelled from the Titan Nose guild because of severe misconduct." Happy disclosed.
"Yeah," Tamura responded. "It seems he tried to purchase some illegal magic items and was caught. Looks like he didn't learn his lesson."
Natsu approached his adversaries. "I don't have the slightest idea what you're trying to pull here, and I don't care about whoever or whatever the heck you are, but I won't let you drag the name of my guild through the mud!"
Bora chuckled. "Oh, really? What do you think you can do to me, kid? Beat me?" He spread his arms wide open and an orange magic circle appeared in front of his face. "Prominence Typhoon!" He bellowed, causing purple fire to shoot out in a spiral-like form, heading for Natsu. Tamura noticed that Natsu appeared shocked for a few moments, but right before the fire hit Tamura saw the biggest grin in his entire life appear on Natsu's face, and he was consumed by the fire.
"NATSU!" Lucy yelled in concern. She ran up to meet him, but her path was blocked by Happy.
"Don't worry, Lucy. I'm sure he's fine." Tamura assured, taking note of the fact that Natsu's magic power had increased immensely.
"How can you say that?!" Lucy shrieked.
"Just watch," Happy said.
Meanwhile, Bora and his men were gloating over their apparent victory over Natsu. "That's the way it always goes. More the guy talks, weaker he is. Now let's see if we can round up those girls again." As they turned to leave, they heard sound similar to eating coming from somewhere nearby. At that point a voice came from the fire. "Eww! These flames are filthy! Are you sure you're a fire wizard? Cause these are some of the dirtiest flames I've ever tasted!"
Bora and his men screamed like little girls and the sight of Natsu sucking up all the flames into his mouth. Lucy also held a surprised expression, as well as Tamura.
"Thank for the grub, poser." Natsu said. "Now that you've filed me up, I've got a fire in my belly and it's raging to get out!" Natsu slammed his fists together, and an orange magic circle appeared, similar to the one Bora used before, except this one had a dragon's head in the middle. As they watched, Natsu's eyes became more feral and lizard-like.
"Here goes!" Natsu sucked in a deep breath and shouted: "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" letting out a stream of fire from his mouth, causing an explosion. After the smoke cleared, it was revealed that Bora was the only one who emerged unharmed. Everyone else was either unconscious or unable to move. Either way, they were all incapacitated.
"B-bora," One called out weakly. "I knew I'd seen this guy before. That unmistakable pink hair and unique scaly looking scarf, this is definitely the real Salamander!"
"Pay attention guys! It's time for you learn what we Fairy Tail wizards are capable of!" Natsu exclaimed as he covered his fists with fire and lunged at Bora. He used multiple fire based attacks to try to subdue Natsu, but they were all ineffective.
"So he consumes fire, and then uses it as an attack?" Lucy inquired. "How does he do it? Is it a spell?"
"Not at all," Happy replied. "He has dragon-like lungs that give him the ability to breathe fire, dragon-like scales that dissolve the fire, and dragon claws to attack with fire. This type of magic gives the user the ability to take on qualities similar to that of a dragon in order to better utilize it. It's a super ancient type of magic."
Similar to mine, Tamura thought.
"Really?"
"This brand of ancient magic was originally created to deal with dragons. Natsu's dad taught it to him."
"The dragon? But why would a dragon teach a form of magic made to kill them?" Lucy asked, while Happy and Tamura just had deadpanned expressions on their faces.
"Lavender Inferno!" Bora shot a purple ball made entirely out of fire at Natsu. He stopped the attack with his bare hands, and swiftly ate it up. "Now that was a hefty meal! But now it's time for me to cook you like a smoked fish!"
"WHAT?!" Bora shouted in fear.
Natsu pounded his fists together, creating another seal. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He rushed toward Bora with incredible speed as his fist ignited.
Natsu closed in on the defenseless Bora and his fist met his face, hard. He was sent flying through the town once again, coming to a stop when he crashed into a bell in a bell tower with a loud CLANG!
"Don't be silly, Natsu. Everyone knows you smoke food with smoke, not fire," Happy said, responding to the last statement the pink-haired teen made.
Lucy could only stare at the wizard in awe. "That was awesome. But you overdid it!" she commented, observing the destruction that Natsu's fight with Bora caused.
"Aye! That's Natsu for ya!"
At that point in time a large number of Rune Knights holding staves and shields arrived at the scene, obviously intent on arresting the ones who caused the destruction.
"The army!" Lucy exclaimed. She let out a small squeal when she abruptly felt her body being pulled in the opposite direction, the culprit being Natsu.
"Crap, we've gotta get out of here!" he yelled. Sparky quickly caught up and ran beside Natsu.
"Where the heck are you taking me?!" the Celestial Mage screamed.
"Just come on! Didn't you want to join Fairy Tail?" At that, Lucy's expression became one of astonishment. Natsu's grin widened. "Well, come on!" Lucy's expression slowly morphed into one of joy.
Natsu looked at Tamura. "You coming along?"
Tamura smiled. "Of course! That was my first destination!"
And with that, the four wizards continued to flee the army, unknowingly preparing themselves for great adventures that lay before them.
