Okay, my next chapter hope you enjoy please review.

Hell on Earth

Chapter two

Michaels POV

I stood over the child who look as if he was in great pain, The master stood up out of his chair and said, "The boy will be fine."

I turned to him and said, "But the boy looks as if he is rejecting the Lacrima."

The master shook his head and said, "The boy's body has accepted the Lacrima already, but his mind was overwhelmed by his power and his body cant handle that overwhelming energy at the moment, but as his body adapts to the Lacrima the stress on his mind will lessin. What is his power anyway?"

I looked at him and said, "He told us he had the power over death."

The Master looked shocked and said, "Take him to the top of the tower, NOW!"

I nodded and lifted the child into my arms and ran to the elevator. The doors opened infront of me and the moment I was in the elevator it shot skyward through the topp of the mountain and into the sky above the clouds. The boy's eyes opened and he said a word that I've never heard before but filled me with dread, 'Acnologia.'

Robert, my second lieutenant, said, "Isn't that the name of the dragon that The Master drew the Lacrima's basic essence from, the dragon who sleeps in the depths of this mountain."

I nodded my head and asked, "How can this child know his name." I looked down at the child who seemed to be asleep again, his eyelids flashed open revealing pitch black eyes that dug deep into my soul.

The elevator stopped at a door, I throw open the door and dropped the child into the bed that was in the back. I ran back to the elevator and at shot back down to the throne room, I stepped out of the elevator and said, "He knows Acnologia somehow, he said that name and his eyes turned black."

The master looked up and smiled, he said, "So the Lacrima has entered his brain already, I'll go visit him when his transformation is complete."

"Why did you have me put him in the sky room if you were going to visit him later?"

"Remember what happened last time, the mage exploded and his magic crashed into your men freezing them, that child was right, if he had exploded is energy would have killed us all, now if he explodes the energy will be held in that room."

I nodded accepting what he said, and I was worried about the child, he didn't look alright when I had left him.

Shi No Ryū's POV

I opened my eyes to find the master sitting over me, I asked, "How long have I been out?"

"Two weeks, though your body seemed to be trying to push your powers out of your body, you finally adapted completely to the new powers that you have, though they are different to any dragon slayer power that I have seen." The master said, with a smirk across his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Your powers seem to have manifested into a kind of form magic along with the regular dragon slayer magic you can morph your energies to fit almost any situation."

The next year I spent in the training room mastering my new powers, when the master was finally satisfied with my development he sent me on a mission with Michael.

We were to punish a group of people who refused to pay what they owed the guild. When we got there though I was filled with anxiety, I had expected a group of men who would put up a descent fight but instead they were a small poor family. I looked at Michael and saw the pity in his eyes along with a determination to follow his orders. I couldn't allow him to hurt this family, I looked back at them and saw them staring at me with hope in their eyes, as if my very presence would allow Michael to show mercy.

That was the first time I hadn't seen fear in the eyes of those I approached, I closed my eyes and wished for the strength to protect this family. Michael was a third generation dragon slayer and he had beaten me time and time again in training. But unknown to them all I had been developing my life and death magic as opposed to my dragon slayer magic in secret, I had two new powers that came with becoming a dragon slyer, one took life and one gave it. I was stronger than him and would prove it if it came down to that.

Michael asked, "Do you have the money?" They shook their heads, fear overtaking the hope that had appeared in them, he continued, "Shino now is time to prove yourself a member of our guild, teach these no gooders a lesson."

I stepped in front of Michael and saw the family start to quake in terror. I whispered, "No I can't hurt anybody else."

Michael scowled and said, "Then step aside and watch what we do to those who disobey our guild."

I turned around to face Michael and said, "I can't let you hurt them either."

"Step aside now or be punished." Michael almost yelled in frustration.

I closed my eyes and summoned forth my powers, I placed my fist in my hand and said, "I summon the talon of Acnologia, the demon dragon, dipped in the poison of my blood and sharpened by the bodies of the lives he took." I opened my eyes and a black sword was in my hands flowing with a black fog emitting from it.

Michael stepped forward and said, "That trick is useless and you know it, and what was that about poisonous blood, ha." He lifted his hand and summoned forth black flames from his hand and charged at me yelling, "Black fire dragon iron fist."

I blocked his attack with my sword and the poison on the blade caused his arm to turn black and the poison traveled up his arm and towards his face he passed out and I ran over to him drawing out the poison so that he didn't die. I made the sword disappear and turned to the family, the mother was on her feet and walking toward me, she wrapped her arms around my neck and thanked me for what I had done.

After they had all said their thanks I told them, "The only safe place for you if Fairy tail, I will help you get to them but I still need to train before I can think of joining a guild blindly again."

"Thank you, but how will we get there, we don't have the money to travel that far, or to stay at an inn."

I smiled and said, "I've been surviving off the land for as long as I can remember, I will keep us alive through this, it will take a long time but I am sure that we can make it." I looked at the family, one girl and one boy, and a mother and father, I smiled and said, "Definitely."

After we had traveled a mile I heard the little girl's stomach growl, I turned to the mother and asked, "How long has it been since last ate?"

She smiled sadly and said, "two days."

I shook my head and lead them down a game trail deep into the forest and made camp in a small clearing I said, "Wait here, I'll get you something to eat."

As I left the clearing I whispered, "I summon the bow of safeguard to help feed this forsaken family and the arrows of the hunt to lead my shot true." A bow appeared in my hands and a quiver of arrows appeared on my back. I shot a deer and gutted it and skinned it, then dragged it back to the camp sight where the children slept under the cover I had made for them and the mother struggled to keep the fire they had made alive.

I carved up the deer and prepared them to be cooked over the fire and told the mother to watch over them as they cooked, while I looked for fire wood.

I got back to the campsite with an armload of fire wood to find the children awake again staring at the cooking meat with drool coming out of their mouths. I laughed a little and stoked up the fire again with plenty of wood to keep the fire alive for hours to come. After an hour the food had finished cooking and everyone ate with a ravenous nature other than me, I refused to eat, thinking of the past.

The mother saw me not eating and said, "You need to eat to build up strength for the travel we have yet."

I smiled at her and nodded taking the cooked deer that she offered me. I ate that and watched as they each fell asleep, I watched over the meat as it cooked and stored it for the next morning then put an invisibility shield around the campsite to protect against prying eyes.

The next day I led them out of the forest then crafted five horses out of magic to let us ride them across country to Magnolia. I watched as they progressively got healthier and stronger, and started to think of them as family.

It took us two years to make it to Magnolia and when we got there I led them into the castle like guild that was fairy tale. The first thing we heard was the sound of yelling from two guys about some kind of fight. I heard someone say, "Natsu, not again." I looked around and saw a dark haired man wearing nothing but a pair of shorts glaring into the face of a red headed man with a white scarf and a red vest. Vanessa, the mother, said, "The redheaded one is Natsu and the dark hair one is Grey."

I looked at her and she smiled at me, I looked around ignoring the ruckus that Natsu was making and found a short elderly man who looked to be in charge. I walked over to him and said, "I have a family here who is in need of protection, they have no money but would be grateful if you could help them."

He examined me and said, "What's in it for you, and what's in it for me?"

I sighed and said, "You would feel a warmth in your heart because you did the right thing and I would be happy just knowing I didn't waist the last two years searching for your guild, hoping that you would help this family to finally feel salvation from the dark guild that has been chasing us across this great country."

"Again I ask, what is in it for you, you seem to be a powerful mage, why not stay with them?" he asked thoughtfully.

I looked into his eyes and said, "It is still not safe for me to be part of society yet, maybe one day I'll come back here and join your guild, but until then could you watch over this family?"

He nodded and said, "I'll watch over them for you if you promise to visit once in a while."

"I promise." I smiled at him and said, "I shall return," I turned to the family and said, "Goodbye."

The little girl about the age of six ran up to me and hugged me, I hugged her back and she whispered into my ear, "my name is Jessica, please come back to me, I'll miss you."

I hugged her tighter and said, "whenever you want to see me just call out my name and I'll come as fast as I can."

She stepped back out of our embrace and asked, "What is your name again?"

"Shi no Ryū, just remember what I told you. Anytime, just know I won't show up right away."

She nodded and I smiled turning to the rest of the family, I said to the young man of 7 years, "Jonny take care of your sister." He nodded wiping a tear out of his eye. Vanessa watch over you children with everything you have, and Jack protect your family with the magic in you. And I want each of you to train your abilities as best you can so that you can better support each other alright." They each agreed and we said our final goodbyes.

I walked out the door and then out of the city when I heard Jessica call out my name, I smiled and turned around she was standing at the edge of town she waved at me and I waved back before turning around and heading off to an unknown adventure.

Hope you enjoyed the changes, still waiting to find out which guild you want him to enter, please let me know.
