Fairy Tail: The Lightning Child

Prologue

"Lyganza! Lyganza!" A small girl shouted with a big smile. The small girl wore black knee-length shorts, and a purple shirt. Her violet colored hair was kept up in a ponytail that stopped at her shoulders "Where are you? It's time for training again!" She shouted excitedly as she ran through the forest until she came to a wide clearing.

A bright flash then came, "My dear child, aren't you ever excited?" The small child was then lifted off of the ground by the back of her shirt. The girl looked over her shoulder to see a purple colored dragon with a blue tint to its body color. Lyganza tossed the girl into the air and she landed on top of his head "Hang on tight, little one." Lyganza spread out his wings and took off flying into the air.

"What are you going to teach me today, Lyganza?" The girl asked, hanging onto one of the two horns that sat on both sides of the top of the purple dragon's head. Lyganza is rather bulky for his kind- even for a lightning dragon.

"Today, you'll be learning a technique called 'Lightning Dragon's Volt Strike'."

The girl raised an eyebrow, "Lightning Dragon's Volt Strike?" She asked and the lightning dragon hummed "What's that?"

Lyganza landed in a large clearing where many craters decorated the ground, this was their training ground but Lavan noticed four oddly placed boulders "Lightning Dragon's Volt Strike is a technique that turns the user's body into a lightning bolt, not only does this attack make the user a hard target, but it boosts the user's speed and attack power." He explained "Observe," The child covered her face as the lightning dragon suddenly became engulfed in electricity. With the slightest movement, Lyganza grazed the ground as a lightning bolt and he destroyed the boulder like a chore "Easy use for getting the upper hand in a fight" Lyganza appeared behind the girl, making her jump "Give it a try."

The violet-haired girl nodded before concentrating, her eyes snapped open and she became surrounded with her own electricity. Lyganza cocked his head to the side, 'That's my Lavan.' He thought with a smile. Lavan moved and she became a lightning bolt, herself. Lyganza watched as Lavan struck the boulder with her fist, the impact wasn't enough to shatter the boulder entirely but it did make a huge crack.

She cradled her hand as it throbbed with pain. It felt like all the bones in her hand broke "Give it another go, child. Be confident in your abilities." Lavan replied with a nod and got back on her feet. Over and over, Lavan attempted 'Lightning Dragon's Volt Strike' on each boulder as a chain. The more strength and speed she put into the technique, the boulders began to crumble.

As the sun began to set, Lyganza woke up to see all three boulders crushed into nothing but pebbles, the lightning dragon walked over to the child and only to see her already sleeping. Smiling inwardly, he turned Lavan onto her stomach and grabbed her by the back of the shirt with his mouth.

"You did well, my child." Lyganza flapped his wings and took flying into the skies.

"There she is! Make sure that flying lizard doesn't get her!" A gruff voice barked. Running away from the people, Lavan breathed heavily, her legs gave out from underneath but she refused to stop running. The mountain where Lyganza resided in is near, she just might be able to make it but the ground erupted with fire and Lavan skidded to a stop. Every where she turned, there was fire. She was now trapped in a ring of fire. The group of men from before surrounded her.

Dark chuckling was heard and Lavan whirled around to see a man in a black trench coat and a scar from his left eyebrow to his chin. The sight of this man struck fear straight into the child, she could use her magic to fight her way out but her body wouldn't respond.

"What a pathetic excuse for a Dragon Slayer!" The man's fist became engulfed with fire and with brute force, he slammed Lavan against the ground and kicked her square in the stomach. Lavan skidded against the ground and through the circle of fire "I can't believe that stupid lizard has been training a weak and pathetic runt like you! I mean, you can't even defend for yourself!" He laughed manically walking through the fire "Weak! Pathetic! Coward!" As he repeated each word, he kicked Lavan with more force than the last.

"That's enough." A voice ordered and the kicking stopped. From the attacker, a another man emerged from the shadows "Each time you strike her, the closer she'll get to death's door. We need her alive." Lavan grunted as she tried to move her heavily damaged body but failed. The newcomer reached out for her but instantly retracted when his hand came into contact with the electricity that surrounded Lavan's body.

The man from before growled and forcefully grabbed the child by her arm, his hand became engulfed with fire. Lavan screamed in pain as it seared the bicep of her right arm "Lyganza! Help me! Make it stop!" A loud roar came from the sky and the lightning dragon appeared before the man. Lyganza swiped at him, forcing him to release Lavan and jump away. The group of men staggered backwards.

"KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY CHILD, HUMAN!" The dragon roared ferociously at the two men before looking down at his child, his eyes narrowed at the burnt skin on Lavan's arm and her bloodied body. The sight of her was horrid. Lyganza turned back to the newcomer, who stared back with no fear "How dare you harm her in a such a way! LEAVE THIS PLACE AND RETURN TO WHERE YOU CAME!" Lyganza grabbed the injured child and took off into the skies.

"Lyganza. I-I couldn't do a-anything...! I couldn't defend myself...I'm a coward!" Lavan whimpered.

"Shhh…you're not a coward, child." Lyganza cooed "They don't know what power you hold and have yet to witness it. Trust me when I say that everything is going to be fine."

Lavan walked about the forest on her own, Lyganza allowed her to since he trusts her, knowing that she won't stray far from the peak. Especially with what happened before but Lyganza assured her that those people no linger amongst the forest. She looked at the bandages around her bicep and around her body, she mentally scolded herself for being a coward and couldn't defend herself.

She stopped in her tracks as something dropped onto her head. Lavan looked up to see dark clouds rolling in and covering up the blue sky, rain then started pouring. Turning fast on her heel, she hurried back to the peak of the mountain where her father resided.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.

"Lyganza!" The child shouted "Can we go flying in the rain?" Lavan entered the cave that her father resided in. The young child loved the feel of the rain and feeling the wind rushing past her body, as the child of a lightning dragon, she loves the wet weather just as much as she loves her father "Lyganza!" Her voice rang throughout the cave but her call went unanswered...there was no loud snoring nor booming voice "Hey! Are you in here!? Say something!"

Walking deeper into the cave, she found no trace of the lightning dragon but she did find a baby blue trimmed, black coat with patterns that look like dragon scales. And it seems rather big for her to wear. Lavan's eyes began swelling up with tears, she gripped the coat and held it close "Why...why did...you leave me?" Lavan jumped back onto her feet and rushed outside "LYGANZA! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Having no more strength, she broke down crying. Her tears mixed together with the rain drops from the sky.
