I have been watching Fairy Tail in english subs for a while… And I wanted to do this story for a bit…
Fairy Tail's strongest team (and Lucy) were on their way back home from an level S mission in the car that uses magic power to drive. Lucy was reading a book recently bought from the book store in Magnolia, Natsu and Gray were arguing, Happy was gnawing on a piece of fish, as Erza was driving.
"Magnolia should be coming into view soon." Erza told them.
"Okay." Lucy responded while closing the book and looking out the window. The sky was relatively clear except a small part that was partly cloudy. She was watching it when she noticed something flash near the clouds. She squinted to see what was flashing.
"What'cha looking at Lucy?" Happy asked looking out the window.
"There's some kind of flashing over there." Lucy answered. "Do you see it Erza?"
"I do, someone must be fighting."
"You don't think it's anyone from Fairy Tail do you?" Lucy asked them.
"No, we're too close to Magnolia, it's practically suicide." Erza told her.
"I think it's getting closer." Happy told them. Lucy looked out the window again and noticed the flashing has gotten closer, a lot closer. But it was still too far to see clearly.
"Hey Natsu, can you see what's flashing out there?" Lucy asked him, pointing out the window. The fighting immediately stopped and Natsu looked out of their window. A strange felling washed over him as soon as he saw the flashing.
"Why do I feel like I should be over there fighting?" Natsu thought as the flashing got just close enough for him to be able figure out what it is. And what he figured out completely shocked him. "No way…" "It can't be…"
"What? You know what it is Natsu?" Lucy asked him anxiously. The flashing gets a little closer.
"She wouldn't be caught dead near human civilization…"
"Who Natsu, who?" Happy asked. The flashing gets even closer.
"My cousin."
"You have a cousin?" Gray asked him. "I thought he was an orphan raised by a dragon." The flashing is close enough for Happy to see, and he's too shocked to say anything.
"Can it really be…?"
"Natsu are you alright?" Erza asked him.
"Could it really be you… Christina?" Natsu asked out loud. Whatever was flashing must have heard him because he could it answer him back:
"Natsu…?"
The others in the car were unable to hear its response, but they could hear the load roar of pain that followed soon afterwards.
"What was that?" Lucy asked with alarm.
"It was a dragon, and Natsu seems to know it." Happy said.
"Are you sure?" Gray asked him.
"I've never seen Natsu react to anything like this before." Lucy thought, as the assumed dragon finally got close enough for everyone to see clearly. It was in fact a dragon. A dragon with glossy, pale red scales and dark green cat-like eyes (the pupils look like slits).
The dragon flew over the car, low enough for it to glimpse in and catch eyes with Natsu. Both sets widened when their suspicions were proven true. Then every occupant of the vehicle saw the very large, very long, and really deep wound down her blue tinted underbelly.
Seconds later when the dragon was several hundred yards away there was a thump on the roof of the car and a magic circle was formed and a blast of really sharp arrows made of stone extended out towards the dragon. With a sharp roll the right every arrow missed its mark. The assailant cursed out loud and chased after the dragon.
"What the-" Gray started, only to be interrupted by Natsu.
"Erza! Take me over there I have to help her!" Erza knew immediately that whoever this dragon was is important to Natsu, so she turned the car in the direction of the dragon's apparent life-or-death struggle and quickly caught up with the fleeing dragon and its assailant.
The dragon's attacker shot more stone arrows at it but missed a second time, but then a small barrage of bullets hit the dragon in between its wings. The second assailant was standing near-by holding a rifle similar to Bisca's. The dragon cried out and fell to the ground, managing to land on its side. It tried to get up again but fell back down, it was too weak.
Natsu was outraged, he jumped out of the car and charged the dragon's second assailant, throwing a fire charged punch at the person. He didn't notice the first assailant launch himself into the air and summon a large stone ax, and bring it down with force, aiming for the dragon's exposed neck.
"It's going to be killed! We got to do something!" Lucy thought, "Wait I can use Taurus!" She immediately summoned Taurus.
"Oh Lucy-san you have-"
"Not now Taurus, block that blade!" she commanded him while pointing to the dragon. He did as he was told and blocked the rock ax with his own.
"It's unusual to see a dragon in broad daylight, especially so close to human civilization." Taurus thought to himself.
"What the hell?" The first assailant said right before Gray froze him. Erza summoned one of her swords and slashed the one Natsu is currently fighting in the back, effectively knocking her down. Natsu rushed over to the dying dragon and checked to see if it's okay.
"Natsu? Natsu is it really you?" It asked.
"Yes, Christina, it's me. Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm just fine, how're you?" She said with a smile.
"This isn't the time for small talk, you're gonna die if we don't do something!" The dragon's smile disappeared and she drew a magic circle with markings that the group didn't recognize, Natsu could read it.
"Alright fine, but Uncle Igneel would've wanted me to tell you how access his archives. Hope you have good memorization skills."
"Is there something in there that could help you right now?"
"Um… I think there was something in there about transforming your body…"
"We might be able to save her that way!" "Where is it, what section?" By now the dragon's eyes have gone cloudy, because of the massive blood loss.
"Um…" The dragon closed her eyes to think better.
"Christina? Christina! Wake up!"
"This can't be good." Gray said, stating the obvious.
"Natsu, she said something about a book on body transformation, if we find it we could save her life." Erza told him.
Natsu turned around and read the magic circle. When he finished he touched it with a fire covered hand. The circle filled with fire and seemed to burn a hole into the ground, then Natsu jumped in.
"I guess we should follow him." Gray said as he was about to jump in.
"WAIT!" Everyone stopped and looked at the dragon, clearly surprised that she still was awake, let alone able to talk. "Don't jump in. You and your blonde friend can't jump in, you'll be burned to a crisp."
"Why is that?" Erza asked her.
"They don't use fire magic, but your little blue friend should be able to pass with no harm done to him."
"Happy? Really?" Lucy said with disbelief.
"He's a young dragon so he should be able to go. Depending on your magic type you may be able to pass unharmed as well."
"Alright I'll give it a try." Erza said as she requiped into her spirit armor. "Let's go Happy."
They jumped into the make shift portal, leaving Gray and Lucy behind. The pair watched the portal for a second then stared at the dragon.
"If you guys are looking to save my life you might as well give up because-"
"Did I just hear that from someone in Natsu's family?" Gray asked Lucy.
"Natsu is our friend and you obviously mean something to him, so we're not going to give up on you!" Lucy told her defiantly.
"Those three aren't gonna find the book in time, you need someone who can read the books at in humane speeds. The person needs to be able to read the book within seconds."
"Levy!"
"And while you're there, get someone really powerful that knows ancient magic."
"Lucy, stay here with the dragon while I go back to the guild and get Levy and the Headmaster."
"Hurry Gray, she can't last much longer!"
Gray hopped into the driver's seat of the car and sped off to Fairy Tail.
Erza and Happy landed onto the stone floor of a gigantic building, with an amount of endless selves of books.
"Wow, this place is huge!" Happy said, while Erza silently agreed.
"Let's start searching." Erza commanded Happy.
"But I can't read anything in here!"
"Then pick up what you can read, we can't let Natsu's cousin die."
"Fine…" Happy said as he flew up to the higher shelves to find books that might be able to help.
"I wonder how you get those books down." Erza thought to herself. When she looked off to the side she saw Natsu toss a book over his shoulder. "Boys, so messy." But she did a double take when she saw the book float back up to its proper place on the shelves. "Okay, so that's how you put them back…" Then she saw Natsu hold up one of his hands and a book fell into it. "Hmm… I hope this works…" Erza thought as she held out her own hand for the book she wanted, it fluttered down gently before landing in her hand. "So this place is full of magic? I'll ask the guild master about this later…" She thought as she quickly flipped through the book.
Gray sped through the streets of Magnolia like a madman, shouting at people to get out of the way, making small ramps out of ice when someone couldn't get out of the way in time, and running over peoples' groceries that they just bought, until he came to a screeching halt outside of Fairy Tail. He slammed the doors open and ran straight for Mira Jane.
"Mira, where's Levy? Do you know where the guild master is?"
"The master is in his study and Levy is out by the pool, why?"
"Thanks Mira!" Gray shouted as he ran for the guild's personal pool. He spotted Levy sitting in one of the tanning chairs almost immediately and asked for her help.
"Levy we need your help please come with me."
"Gray, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I need to bring you and the guild master back with me it's an emergency!"
"Okay, let's find Master Makarov." She said as they left for the guild master's study. Gray knocked frantically on the closed door. When the guild master opened the door, he asked Gray what was wrong.
"We need your help Master, please come with me!"
"Lead the way, my boy."
They out of the guild, boarded into the car, and sped off to where the dragon lay close to death.
"Natsu, do you know how this place is organized?" Erza asked him.
"No, I've never been in here longer than five minutes before."
"Do you at least have an idea of where it may be?"
"No."
"This is gonna be a long search…"
When they pulled up in the car Levy stared in awe at the dragon then she noticed Lucy standing with Leo (or Loke) and the dragon's assailants tied up in front of it.
"Whoa… is that really a dragon?" Levy asked.
"Yeah and she's supposed to be Natsu's cousin."
"Who're those two?" Makarov asked him.
"They were attacking the dragon." Gray answered as they came to a stop.
"Master Makarov! Levy! Okay they're here, what do we do now?" Lucy asked the dragon.
"Your speed reading friend needs to find the book…"
"But Levy doesn't use fire magic!"
"I'll make sure she gets there safely."
"You're obviously in pain, so don't strain yourself or you'll die." Makarov told her.
The dragon lifted her head and blew out fire that surrounded Levy without burning her.
"Levy, you need to jump in there." Gray said pointing to the portal.
"Okay I'll be right back, please hang on a little longer." Levy begged the dragon as she jumped into the portal.
"Why do these humans care so much…?"
Levy landed in the same spot as Erza and Happy did when they jumped through.
"I'll need my magic glasses for this challenge, but I can't read most of the material in here…" Levy thought to herself as she put on her magical glasses.
As she put on her glasses something caught her eye, a strange message was scrawled out in the middle of the floor. She took off her glasses to read it clearly, but it disappeared, put the glasses back on and the message reappeared. The message seemed to have two parts, one in writing she couldn't understand and the other in another language she could. She read the second message and it said:
Dear female human,
I know you can't understand the language of most of the books here, so I decided to temporarily give you the ability to read the dragon language, since my life means so much to you humans. By the time you finish this message you should be able to read the directions above. By the way you need to lift your hand to acquire the book you want, its feature uncle Igneel added when Natsu was a kid. I never thought the feature would save my life. Good luck human.
Natsu's cousin,
Christina
"I should be able to read the directions now." Levy thought as she finished the message. When she looked up she was surprised to see that she could understand the sentence, it said:
Walk down past the first two sections and turn to the right walk down twenty isles and on each side of the hall should be books on transformation. At the highest corner of each shelf on the side(s) closest to you, should be two books (one on each corner), get the one on Dragon-Human transformation.
Levy followed the directions of the message, when she arrived she looked up to the top of the selves and paled.
"I can't even see the top … how am I supposed to know if I'm in the right spot."
"Levy?"
"Happy?"
"How'd you get here? Natsu's cousin said that if you can't perform fire magic you'll die."
"Apparently she got me down here safely. How high are these shelves?"
"So high I became afraid of heights."
"Oh…" "That's pretty high."
"Tell me about it. By the way Natsu and Erza are here too." Happy said as Levy lifted her hand.
A book plummeted at her before landing gently in her hand.
"Wow that is useful." Levy said as she opened the book and read the contents. "This book is about the basics…" She mumbled as she raised her hand for the other book, it landed in Levy's hand just as gently as the first, she read the contents of the second book and smiled.
"I found it!" She shouted. Within seconds the other occupants the building were by her side.
"Levy? What're you doing here?" Natsu asked.
"We need to get these books to master Makarov!" Levy said as she retraced her steps to the portal. "So how do we leave?" She asked Natsu.
The portal above them suddenly copied itself and the copy lowered to the floor. When it finished, a thin stream of fire lowered from the upper portal and made its way to Levy, ran behind Erza and then Natsu. They were about to attack it when it suddenly started twisting into words:
Hold still damn it! I'm not trying to kill you! It was your decision to help in the first place!
"Oh, it's Christina trying to get you through the portal." Natsu said just before jumping into the lower portal with Happy right behind him.
"I'll leave after you do." Erza told Levy. Levy nodded and let the fire surround her, then she jumped in the lower portal and Erza right after her.
"Someone please explain what's going on." Makarov told two of his self claimed children. They explained everything that happened from the flashing to the current point time as well as their concern for the dragon. Makarov stood listening silently. What they didn't realize was that the dragon could what they were saying as well.
"These humans… I understand why Natsu would care but the others… I guess the rest of the magical community is wrong about them…"
"So you are Natsu's cousin? May I ask your name?" Makarov asked her
"Christina…"
"What do have us here for?"
"If your friend saw the directions I left in the floor she'll be able to explain it…" Christina said before finally passing out.
"Lucy, feel for a pulse. Gray, try to stop the blood." Makarov said.
"Yes sir." They said as they did as they were told. Makarov walked over to the frozen assailant and freed him, he would've tried to run but he was too cold and knew that wouldn't be a good idea. Makarov started to interrogate the man.
"Why were you attacking Christina?"
"It was a job, and we were doing just fine before you crazy ass people showed up!"
"Is that so? Well she means something to one of my guild members, and my guild members are like my children and I don't like any kind of harm to be inflicted on any of them physical or emotional. I'll ask again,"-Makarov roughly grabs the man by the collar– "why were you attacking this dragon?"
"We were trained to attack dragons, and we get payed for it."
"Who payed you to do this?"
"I don't know, some random person."
"Do you belong to a guild?" The man started to answer him but the woman cut him off.
"Don't tell them any more you idiot! We were warned to watch out for someone, you remember who?"
"Uh… the Salamander."
"From where?"
"The Fairy Tail guild."
"Which is located where?"
"Magnolia."
"Would like to know why I tried to stop you before?"
"Sure."
"MAGNOLIA IS RIGHT THERE YOU DUMBASS!" She screamed at him.
"Oh…" When he looked up he saw the Fairy Tail tattoo on the back of Lucy's right hand. "That can't be good…"
"No shit."
"So you're saying that you two have been going around killing dragons?" Makarov demanded.
"Yeah what of it?"
"We're bringing them with us; I have an extensive interrogation to conduct when we return. In the mean time keep this from Natsu, he might not react very well." Makarov commanded Gray and Lucy as he tied and gagged Christina's assailants.
"Yes sir." They said as the occupants of the magical library jumped out of the portal.
"Master I found the books and I read one of them, it said that when a dragon is near death to save its life we change its body for easier healing."
"What else does it say?"
"It says a powerful magical being that can understand ancient magic has to conduct the ritual, to decrease the chance of something messing up in the process." Levy said as she handed the book to Makarov.
"Levy, I didn't know you could read the language of the dragons." Natsu told her.
"I can't, your cousin gave me the ability to read it with the glasses, for now." She said as she handed Makarov the glasses.
"Thank you, now let's see what it says." Makarov said before reading the entire book on the basics of physical transformation magic then the book on transforming dragons, both within seconds."
"We have to hurry, her breathing pattern has almost stopped!" Lucy told them.
"What! Come on Christina hold on a little longer!" Natsu begged as he felt for a pulse as well.
"Alright I know what to do, everyone stand back." Makarov instructed handing Levy her glasses back, they did as they were told and stood a short distance behind him.
"I hope this works." Makarov thought to himself as he raised his hands and mumbled the incantation to start the transformation of Christina's body. A white magic circle appeared at his hands and above Christina's body. The circle above Christina descended slowly, a dim light consumed her as the blood that she lost while laying down rose up and surrounded her as well as the blood that she was still losing.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked.
"Don't worry, the blood she lost will surround her and she'll lose more until she has the right amount for the desired being." Levy told them as she flipped through the book.
"So what's the master changing her into?" Gray asked.
"More than likely into a human." Erza answered.
"Will she be okay?" Natsu asked.
"Don't worry, she's in good hands Natsu." Happy said in hopes of cheering him up.
By now Christina's limbs became arms and legs as her dragon torso became that of a woman's, her head became a human head. As her tail shrunk down, hair grew out her head in the same pale red color as her scales, growing down past her knees. A different magic circle appeared behind her wings and then they disappeared into her back with the circle, without making a mark.
"Hmm… maybe there's something else we should know in this book…" Levy mumbled as she read on with glasses. "It says we'll need to take her to a healer immediately after the ritual and…" Levy started but stopped.
"What? What does it say Levy?" Natsu asked her frantically looking over her shoulder to read what she just read. When realized he paled then turned green. "I don't think I can stomach that without puking."
"A sight I'd rather not see." Levy agreed.
"What does the book say?" Lucy asked them.
"Are you sure you want to know, Lu-chan?"
"She's not the only one who wants to know." Gray told her.
"I'm interested as well." Erza agreed.
"It says that the end of the ritual…"
With the transformation ritual complete Makarov fell to his knees and looked up to see if the transformation completed without any mistakes. He was relieved to find a human girl where the dragon once lay, but he did a double take when he saw…
"…She should be naked…" Levy ended.
That's right. The now human Christina lay naked in front of the perverted guild master of Fairy Tail, Makarov.
But for once he wasn't thinking about feeling up a girl, he was more worried about if she was alive or not and felt her neck for a pulse. He was relieved to find her pulse, but that relief was ripped away when he saw the gigantic wound down her entire stomach. He turned around and called over the young guild members.
"Hurry take her to Porlyusica, we don't have time to lose." Makarov told them as he covered Christina with his cape.
"What about those two?" Levy asked him.
"Tie them to the back of the car."
"Happy should be able to get her to Porlyusica faster." Natsu offered.
"It would cause problems if people saw Happy flying through town with a naked girl." Gray pointed out.
"Not if he flies high enough."
"Gray's right, it's better if we use the car." Lucy agreed.
"But what if someone happens to catch a glimpse in to the car with all of us in it?"
"I agree with Gray, but Natsu raises a good point." Erza agreed, when Christina started coughing up blood.
"Everyone in the car!" Makarov shouted, having already tied the assailants to the back of the car.
Natsu and Gray jumped onto the top of the car while Lucy and Levy carefully laid out Christina in one of the seats of the car. She took up the entire side, leaving Lucy to sit on the floor while Levy and Makarov took the other seat. Happy tried to keep Christina's head from moving too much, while Erza drove at high speeds through Magnolia to Porlyusica's tree.
"Porlyusica, open up its Makarov!" He shouted at the door.
"What do you want now?"
"Please heal this girl-"
"No."
"Please-"
"No, I don't like humans, so go away!" Porlyusica started to slam the door in Makarov's face when Natsu's hand stopped it.
"Please, my cousin is dying, you're the only one who help, please!" Natsu begged, Porlyusica could see he was close to tears.
"I've never seen the boy like this before…"
"And she isn't human." Makarov finally finished.
"Fine, bring the girl in." She finally agreed signaling to the girls in the car to carry Christina's unconscious body in. "Who are those two?"
"The ones who did that to her." Makarov said pointing to the fatal wound on Christina's body.
"Oh my… I thought you said she wasn't human."
"She isn't, apparently she's Igneel's niece."
"Wait, you mean the dragon that raised him?" Porlyusica asked pointing at Natsu.
"Yes."
"I'll ask for the details later, right now I have my work cut out for me. Until I send for you, leave." Everyone respected her wish and boarded the car, except Natsu.
"Can I stay? I want to may sure she'll be alright when she wakes up." Natsu asked her.
"Leave."
"But she might-"
"I said leave."
"But-"
"LEAVE! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Porlyusica yelled as she threw him out of her house. "Humans! They get on my nerves" She thought as she got her necessary medicines and herbs to heal her newly acquired patient.
Well that's the first chapter of The Search for Trina… Its twelve pages… not including the authors notes… I hope you like it…
