Fairy Tail One Chapter 1: Bonds
(A/N: Due to the positive reception from the previous chapter within its debut it seems like a lot of people really like the concept of Fairy Tail Minus One but some took issue with adding the musical note at the end. Yeah, it's the last time I'm adding any music within the fanfic, I might use that Wings of Liberty as lore adding the theme as you would see within the Establishment of Alaverz which you would see during the Visatron Civil War Arc.
Anyways you guys voted within the polls who Erza should be paired with within Fairy Tail One. I posted 3 polls within 3 different websites and put up the total amount per poll
Straw poll ( As of 8/1)
1 point for Jellal, Laxus, Erza just being a free spirit who sleeps around in occasions and,1 for other tilting them within this poll
Fan Fiction Net (As of 8/1)
5 points for Mirajane
4 points titing Kagura, Wendy, Minvera, Knightwalker, and Natsu until Lucy develops feelings for Natsu
3 points for Wendy once she becomes of legal age tied with Experimentation with Lucy, Juvia, and Minvera
2 points for her dating Gray briefly, bisexual experimentation and being asexual) Clearly not happening given the majority want Erza to be bisexual or Lesbian) and 1 point for Laxus, Azuma, brief dating with Bacchus, Sting or Rouge, and being a bi-curious lesbian with even 1 point in Fan Fiction Net wanting Erza to just be an outright Slut.
Whentai(Yes I made a pairing poll within a hentai site)
10 points for Natsu with Erza( The site is surprisingly pro-Natza)
4 points for Kagura with Erza tied with Wendy
3 points for Jellal with Erza tied with Minvera
2 points for Lucy and with Erza
1 Point for Erza's selfcest, Juvia, Gray, Mirajane, Azuma, Erza being a slut(Seriously remember this is Whentai, I'm surprised this wasn't higher) and other
Overall
Natsu being with Erza:14 points
ErzaxMirajane:8 points
Erza Kagura:8 points
ErzaxWnedy:8Points
Erza fucking herself:5 points
Jerza:4 points
Gray being with Erza 3 points
Erza being a slut:3 points
LaxuxErza:2 points
AzumaxErza:1 points
Brief dating of Bacchus"1 point
So going by these three polls I've decided that the person who would be shipped with Erza is a toss-up between Mirajane and Kagura. I will make a second poll deciding the overall results of who gets Erza at the end. It's decided going by the polling results Erza will attempt to date Natsu, I would permanently ship Natsu with Erza but I'm a fan of NaLu(Sorry Nalis fans but nothing personal) so the most I can do is ship Natza up until a certain point which would cause them to break up and Natsu would go with Lucy. As for Ezra's bi-curious relationship with her Edolas self, that would be a nice little one-off thing, nothing serious for obvious reasons. Wendy and Erza are unlikely to happen given whoever she ends up with, would be deep in a relationship with Erza long before Wendy is legal enough to be involved in any relationship.
Surprisingly enough Jellal got 0 votes for Erza as a pairing within Fan Fiction Net. Yes Fan Fiction Net of all places which Jerza is popular within and hundreds of fanfictions are written about them would rather see Erza involved in gangbangs rather than vote for another Jerza pairing and it's Whentai that rather see Erza in a serious relationship than a cock slut and we're talking Whentai, the mecca of Erza hentai with a strong percentage of the members are strongly in favor of slutty Erza.
But no I was never intending to actually make Erza a slut in this story, I just put the option there to see how many people would be down for it. I might make a few separate hentai one-shots of Erza being a pure slut just for the perverted hentai audience much like I did for my few one-shots of Bleach hentai on this site but this is not going to be the place for that.
Unlike a good amount of FT fanfic writers who are more restrained with the fanservice compared to Mashima, I frankly give no fucks whatsoever and would gladly add more fan service when the time is right that would make Fairy Tail's canon series seem like it was written by Puritans. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to do something as stupid as to put fan service where it doesn't belong*coughcoughFlare* and try to keep fanservice out of the more serious plot lines but I'm not going to hold back either when Gray or Lucy are onscreen on a lighter note. And yes like Mashima, sexualization would go both ways, hell expect a bit more bludges than canon regarding Gray and if you're not okay with that…I don't know what to say about that honestly because I believe in living up to the spirit of the series and I don't particularly care about Puritanical viewpoints in general.

Irene's POV
It's absurd to see my own life flash through my own eyes like this. Seeing my mother again within this prolonged flashback makes me realize how much I've disgraced the Dragonv Family name with my mother saw the worst of humanity when she fought in the Amazon/Adonis wars and crushed the Adonises and the Amazons. She's liberated countless kingdoms within Ishgar, North Pangera, and Amato from the oppressive rule of the Dark Dragon Tribe.
Seeing my mother again reminded me of how weak I was to have given into the darkness, however, I doubt even her strength would've helped her if the fate I was cursed with happened to her. Then again unlike myself, she was a legendary warrior who can defeat even strongest Dragons without Dragon Slayer powers and the only human capable of doing so since the founder of Dragonv. Compared to her, I was but a weak and lost child trying to follow in her wide footsteps.
It seems like I'm starting to fade away a bit as a result of death, I find myself increasingly difficult to talk or even move as I watch my own life play out in my face as a reminder of what went wrong as if I was being tortured and tormented by my crushing guilt.
3 years later
April 27, X733
Me and my mother, my father and my God Father Belserion fly into Rosemary Village 3 years after the war ended. Rosemary went from an overcrowded safe haven into a very small, peaceful, beautiful cottage town.
Due to both wars ending, Ishgar was within a period of peace and prosperity unheard of in over thousands of years. We were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the countryside in the north.
"It's such a beautiful day for a picnic Charles." my mother said to my dad as she takes out the sandwiches that my dad made.
"Indeed my darling queen. Thanks to the might of the Dragonv Army, we've come the closest ever to global peace." dad replied as he sees me crawl towards the sandwiches only to walk upright.
"Indeed. Dragonv has brought prosperity unlike anything seen before in human history, between the Dragonv and Fiore Alliance, trade is thriving and we've expanded prosperity as far as Gappione. Thanks to the Corona family who married your sister Asuka with Frederick Corona, a powerful noble family within the nation of Zen, we have been maintaining stability within Middle Earthland. " My mother explained to me dad explaining events I couldn't comprehend as a child.
"I'm very concerned about the religious zealots that took over Fiore though. Shortly after the war, the Orthodox Church of Zentopia have taken over and have been imposing draconian laws against the people. There's also the problem with the kingdom of Serenity's dirty dealings with some within the Dark Dragon Tribe that still continues human sacrifices. I'm concerned that the recent takeover by the Orthodox Crocus Zentopians and Serenity Zenotpians might explode into a new regional conflict. With Bosco being Crocus Zentopian and Seven being Serenity Zentopian and rival nations, we could see a new Holy War ." My dad explained to my mother concerned about the growing problems around them in the era of peace.
"I understand your concern on the topic, however, we're barely maintaining diplomatic relations with the Holy Coccus Republic of Serenity as it is, if we try to intervene within Fiore's affairs, those countries would out aside their religious differences ally in common disdain and that would cause more problems than needed given we're still recovering from the wars between the Dark Dragon Tribe and the Amazon/Adonsis conflict." My mother replied as she talks more about these boring events.
"You have a point, we don't want to make the same mistakes as all empires and try to overreach our power beyond our control and people would rebel against them and the infighting creates an opening for foreign entities to invade and subvert the native country to crumble the empire from within." My dad responded.
"How are the Dragon protection squad holding up Belserion?"Mom asked my Dragon Foster Father.
"They're proving to be very promising. Ingeel has the most potential of all the Dragons given his dedication to you and his worship of me. Zesuei is quite anti-social but he's also showing promise. Vemonisky's methods need work on given he takes too much pleasure in killing and torture, Wessloiga and Skiadurm are great as a team, Metacaliana is quite the rebellious disobedient type and Grandeeney is our chief healer. I have to say not bad for 400 year something Dragons."My Dragon Foster Dad explained to my mother
"They were the children of the Kings and Queens of their Dragon Tribes. Many of the older guards served for 400 years in the force with Ingeel's father Primus having served 500 years." my mother stated as she takes out the sandwiches she made.
"How old is that by comparison to human years? I never really asked because I never thought that thought would cross my mind." my Dad asked.
"A Dragon on average lives 20 times the lifetimes of a human being. 1 Dragon year is akin to 20 to 21 Human years. To give you the idea of how old Ingeel is, he would be akin to a Late Teenager/Young Adult. Ingeel is the second oldest of the new generation of Dragons and would be around 24 years old in Dragon Years or 480 years old while Grandeeney is around 28 Dragon Years old or akin to a 560-year-old human being." my mother explained to dad.
"I see, it would explain why Dragons are so powerful, you guys can live over 1,000 years. Combine that with your natural superior strength, it's no wonder very few humans can take on a Dragon in a one on one fight. I'm just glad both you and my wife are our side." my dad explained to the two of them as he lies back on the grass.
"Let's stop talking about politics and just enjoy this view and this era of peace we worked so hard to acheive." Mom replied as she lies on the grass. It was at that first insistence I've said my first words ever.
"Mommy!"I said to mommy.
"Irene just said her first it was mommy!" My mother replied as she hugged me.
So those were my first words? Mommy… I wonder what was Erza's first words when she turned 3 years old? Such a cruel fate, if only you and I were as close as me and my mother…Erza.
Later on, she brought me to meet the Dragons within the Dragon Protection Squad within the Dragon King Courtyard within Whitestone One's main castle The Dragon Emperors Fortress. The castle stands to be around 100 Dragon Stories high, a Dragon Story is akin to at least 40 meters high to fit a Dragon within the castle and most buildings in Dragonv are over 50 meters high and 200 meters wide to accommodate the space of Dragons and humans.
In Dragonv's Whitestone One Captial, over 10 million people lived there as well as 1 million Dragons. Each of the roads was wide enough for Dragons to go across it without accidentally crushing humans and each of the houses were large enough to be small skyscrapers within a modern city to fit Dragons as well as some giants within the city. Dragnov was a massive country at the eastern end of the continent of Ishgai that stretched from the Ishgar Sea from the west to as far east as the Pacifica Ocean, stretching almost twice as large as Ishgar itself and crosses throughout all of Northern Amato, the continent that is connected to Ishgar.
We had the largest military in the world at the time, however, what truly made Dragonv mighty was the 7 legendary kings who run 7 Super Oblasts who formed a protection pact to protect the Queen and Grand Dragon King chancellor Belserion. The last Dragon War which my mother barely won cost the lives of the previous Dragon.
One of the Dragons was Ingeel of the Fire Dragons, the Prince of the Fire Dragons who became the young King of Dragons after his father died in the last Dragon War, he controlled the Far Eastern region and island Archpeilgios of Dragnov bordering Gappione. The other being Grandeeney, the Princess now queen of the Sky Dragons who lost her mother in the Dragon War as well, she controlled the north central region within her sky Kingdom, a collection of frozen cloud islands floating over the frigid mountains. The other was Metalicana, the young king of the Iron and Steel Dragons who controlled the Iron Ore rich northwest of the Capital and within the borders of the Giant Nation of Olaf and the final two were Skiadrum and Weisslogia, the Kings of the Light and Shadow Dragons with Weisslogia controlling the Southeastern regions filled with sunlight and have tropical like rainforests and the Far Northern region with very little sunlight.
The Legendary 5 Dragons that survived the Dragon War and lived long enough to be part of the 400-year-old plan really need no introduction as even history books however 2 of the Dragon Protection Squad members are lost throughout history, Zeusei, the legendary Lightning Dragon King who controlled the South Central desert region bordering Kangora and Vemonisky, the legendary poison Dragon king that controlled the Southwestern swamps and rainforests.
Zeusei was a Dragon taller than Ingeel with a very muscular body frame with golden yellow scales on his body with his lower body, stomach, his inner portions of his long tail and legs were light blue in color. His Back had a lot of spikes on them and he had a square jaw with short spiky green hair giving him the appearance of a Rajin.
Venomisky was a lanky and skinny Dragon with elf-like ears with a notable scar on his right eye he gained from the battle within the Amazonian/Andois wars. He had a facial structure similar to Ingeel but notably more lanky and skinny body appearance. His Wings were much more like a bat than Ingeel with his fingernails and toenails resembling talons and hooks with him having a Serpent head at the end of his tail. He had reddish purple scales on the body.
"These are my Dragon Royal Guard, each of them has 3 generations of powerful warriors and fighters that fought to protect the peace between humans and dragons. One day my dear daughter, this would all be yours and you will carry the will of the Dragonv royal family to protect humans and Dragons." My mom said to me as she held my hand firmly amazed to see humans and Dragons coexist.

Three Years Later
June 21, X376
Irene has started to walk and walk around properly now that she's age 6. Écarlate had come out of her meeting room with her closest generals and soldiers. She and her husband are holding hands with each other with Écarlate smiling.
"Seems things are going excellent today." Écarlate said to her husband.
"Indeed Écarlate they are. It seems like more countries are coming together to seek out our help for ending conflicts without much bloodshed." Charles replied.
Écarlate sees her daughter playfully playing within the flower fields and grabs a flower which makes Irene happy.
"Those flowers are really pretty mom!" Irene said to her mother.
"It seems you have a thing for flowers too, must run in the family. Flowers are a symbol of beauty, of innocence and of love. It's also a symbol of peace!" Écarlate explained to her daughter as she picks up a flower and gives it to her.
"I want to learn magic one day so I can grow flowers like you mommy." Irene replied with a cheerful look in her eye.
"When you become old enough, I'll teach you how to use magic. Right now how is your kendo skills holding up?" Écarlate asked her daughter.
"Okay but swords are boring, I wanna learn magic!"Irene pouted with a temper tantrum.
"In order to use magic, you need to gain strength from within and without, you're only 6 years old Irene. It's unheard of that anyone can use magic at your age. One day I will teach you green magic when you're ready and together we can make the world beautiful." Écarlate explained to her daughter as she creates a tree with cherry blossoms.
"Can we go and get some cake mommy?" Irene asked her.
"Sure thing and I know just the place to get the best cake within the country." Écarlate replied.
Écarlate and Irene walk across the immense city of Dragonv in which humans and Dragons walk side by side with each other as if it's a normal thing. Even the poor within the city are fairly well off and well fed and decently dressed given the prosperity of the city.
They arrive at a mideveial style dinner serving up cakes with a Dragon with Green scales, serving up cakes with his human and Dragon employees. The shop is large enough to fit humans and Dragons alike.
"Why are we out in the open like this mommy? I thought we had servants to deliver things? " Irene asked her mother.
"What separates a good king and queen from a Great One is one that bonds with all the people within their country. I made it a habit to bond with everyone within Dragonv with the best of my capabilities and help them with whatever problems they have, it's a difficult task but one I take pride in doing to see my subjects happy. Besides doesn't hurt to get exercise otherwise you might get out of shape." Écarlate explained to Irene.
"Oh Queen Écarlate of the bareback horse, how may I make your acquaintance?" the shopkeeper dragon asked her.
"I was here for the daily usual orders of 50 Ptichye moloko cake , 2 for my daughter here." Écarlate answered.
"I take it you're also here for the usual order of 50 mousses right?" the Shopkeeper dragon asked.
"Are they prepared yet ?" the queen asked her subjects.
"Sadly no, they're still in the back." the shopkeeper answered.
"Then I'll help you guys out if you need mother taught me how to make the best cakes." Écarlate stated as she puts on her apron.
"What about your child? " the shopkeeper asked.
"My bodyguards here would make sure nothing bad happens to her, it's only going to take five minutes." Écarlate replied as she goes to the back of the shop.
"Shame you can't give your child the special cakes yet, especially given how much rum is within them." The shopkeeper stated.
"When she's my age, she can finally taste the forbidden drink of rum, though hopefully, she doesn't overdo it as I did back in the day." Queen Écarlate replied as she goes to the back to check on the rum filled cakes.
10 guards watch over Irene as she has her two strawberry cakes with the Whitestone One delicacy of the golden strawberries that are grown once every thousand of years everywhere else except for Whitestone One.
All of a sudden a dozen bandits appear with swords and spears and early flintlock rifles and pistols as well as Hand canons to hold up the royal guard but they're undeterred as they pull out their swords and shields when they're all hit by bullet magic from an obese Dragon with orange scales and bullhorns and a blue mane.
"Nab the girl quick before the Queen of Dragons appear." the Dragon said to his bandit gang.
"NO! MOMMY HELP ME !" Irene shouted as the bandits put her in a sack with the dragon shopkeeper attempting to fight back but he's hit by bullet magic.
"Don't think a mere civilian class Dragon can fight against a Soldier Class Dragon. I'm Capoke, former Sergeant of the Dragonv Army and user of the mighty bullet Magic, a D Class Dragon who is not fit for combat can't contend against a powerful B Class Dragon." Capoke stated as he and his bandit gang run off before Écarlate comes out rushing with cake frosting all over her as she rushes outside hitting several trays of cake out towards there.
"Irene! NO!" Écarlate shouted as she grabs a chair and throws it at a wall.
"It's Capoke, the most infamous deserter within Dragonv. A man who has committed many successful heists. He took me and everyone by surprise. He kidnapped your daughter and plans to use them as ransom." The shopkeeper said in anguish.
"He ruined my bond time with my daughter and damaged your shop...UNFORGIVABLE !" Écarlate shouted as her aura leaks out.
"He left this ransom demand for you." the shopkeeper said to the Queen.
"Bring me over 10 Billion Rubies within the next 24 hours for the child alone without your Dragon comrades or else your daughter gets it." the ransom letter reads out.
"Oh, he wants 10 Billion Ruby's huh? I'll give him his fucking Rubies." Queen Écarlate said to the shopkeeper as she tears up the letter in anger.
Several Hours later
Queen Écarlate arrives at the bandit hideout not far from Whitestone One east of the capital when she encounters a dozen humans large enough to equal a small army with 7 Dragons alongside the bandit king.
"I bought you your money, can you release my child now?" Écarlate asked the leader Capoke.
"First hand over your Satsuki No to us slowly, then allow my men to strip you to make sure you're not harboring any weapons." Capoke said to the queen.
"Let me save you the trouble then." Écarlate replied with a fearless and emotionless stare as she strips off all of her clothing to reveal her naked body with her C-section scar.
"Whoa you did it so easily, guess the rumors about your bareback riding outside of horses are true then." Capoke said with a piggish grunt.
"Those are merely rumors created by sick perverts like you who can't stand the idea that a female human runs your country but feel free to believe what you wish about me…Even if I were to engage in your sick fantasies, my actions would be pure. Now are you going to take the money or not." Écarlate asked the leader only to see his men put handcuffs on her.
"You're as stupid as I thought, did you really think we're going to just let you go. All this time, we were after you. Your daughter is merely an afterthought. It's just as I thought, you're nothing without the Legendary Dragon Slayer Sword, nothing more but another weak human woman, however, thanks to you I can pull off the heist of the century. With the 10 billion rubies I've got from you, I can raise my own army and hold you as a fine hostage since they would be too afraid to attack me without risk killing you and I can sell you and your sword to the highest bidder if you know what I mean. By the time people are even aware what happened, you would be making me millions of rubies with that beautiful body of yours." Capoke explained to Écarlate.
"Blah blah blah, you're all talk. Really, cliche slavery and money-making schemes, could you get any more cliche? perhaps you want to count your money first...Who knows if I might be tricking you right now." Écarlate smiled with a twisted glare mocking the bandit leader.
"I guess, my men have you restrained with magical handcuffs that not even someone of my caliber can break out of those handcuffs let alone a mere human let alone a woman and I have your Hoshigami No Satsuki here so you're no threat to me. Inspect the bag men." Capoke said to his gang as his men pick up the bag and struggle to move the bag and all the rubies come out which all look real.
They're each shiny red minerals that are commonly used for currency with all the men taking the money out looking as if they won the lottery, joyful to see so much money in their procession.
"Well I'll be, looks like we have an honest queen!" Capoke said to Écarlate looking as happy as a child within a sweet shop.
"Yep, you can almost say I love up to the end of the deal." Écarlate replied with a wide smile on her face.
"Almost? " Capoke asked confused as he then here's the sound of a fuse.
Then after a few seconds, he then hears a loud, deafening boom that knocks him down. The rubies then explode into Lachrima trapping half of Capokes men and almost hitting Capoke.
"Turns out that if you put a long fuse bomb to explode in the mix of that money, the rubies would turn into Lachrima trapping anyone within there. Don't worry your men are alive, sadly I didn't calculate on half of them escaping." Queen Écarlate explained to the criminals as she looks gleeful that her plan worked.
"Big Mistake there bitch, men we're going to break this haughty bitch. Assault her until she begins to beg for mercy and when she does, violently assault her more. I want to hear her scream and once we do that, we'll make her daughter watch what became of her mother." Capoke shouted angered that he just watched 10 Billion Rubies literally blow up in his face.
The men try groping and punching her but the ones punching her are having their hands bleed hitting her face and their gropes aren't fazing her in the slightest.
"I must admit, your amusing attempts to break are amusing However I can't afford to let my daughter see me lose to low-level thugs like you." Queen Écarlate said to her captors as she smiles with amusement as she shatters the handcuffs horrifying the men around her.
"What is she? Those were Maginium Handcuffs and she effortlessly shattered them?" one of the bandits shouted horrified at the Queen's strength.
"No that can't be right, you're supposed to be nothing without your Hoshigami No Satsuki." Capoke stated shocked to see the queen so powerful without her blade.
"Underestimating your queen was the least wise thing to do...Because now you're going to learn a lesson on how not to piss off the Queen of Dragons." Écarlate replied with a smile on her face as she requips another dress.
"Don't let her scare you off, attack!" Capoke shouted notably worried and frightened that someone can break out of Maginium handcuffs. Queen Écarlate dashes behind all the men and disables their weapons shattering them before she can react.
"The reason people call me Queen Écarlate of the bareback isn't because of the fact my dress exposes my entire back up to near my ass, the fact I can ride horses without a saddle or even the allegations of sexual immorally arttiubed by political opponents and perverts, BTW I love my husband too much to do things like that. I'm called Écarlate of the bareback because of all the battles I've fought and the scars I've gotten, not a single person has been able to put even a scratch on my back. That's because I've never dropped my guard for even a second knowing humans and Dragons alike are capable of great evil as they are great good and if I let myself drop my guard and gain a wound on my back, I would disgrace myself as a swordsman." Écarlate explained to Capoke as her anger peaks and a crimson aura covers her body.
"I see, well I still think you're nothing compared to a dragon and that impressive strength you used to break my cuffs must've left you at your limit. I have 7 of my own Dragons of the protection squad I would have as king. Get her boys." Capoke said to them as they all try to fight Queen Écarlate.
"I see, so a bunch of common C-Class Fire Dragons is your idea of a protection force? Sorry but this is hardly anything to me." Queen Écarlate smiled as she comes at them.
She kicks one down with a powerful axe kick , punches one down with a powerful hammer fist, knocks once in the air with a uppercut, hits another with a palm strike, takes out two with a caperoia kick and takes out the final dragon with a missile dropkick driving her heels into the chest knocking out the dragon before backflipping towards Capoke, taking out each Dragon within a second of each other with all of them falling down at the same time.
"Still wish to underestimate your queen or do you seriously think that was a fluke?" Queen Écarlate said to them with a smile on her face.
"We'll see how tough you are after I'm done with you. Fire Dragon Roar." Capoke shouted as he shoots a Fire Dragon Roar towards Queen Écarlate which knocks her back from the attack however she gets back up with barely a scratch on her.
"How pathetic, have your skills dulled so much since you defected or were you always this weak? Either way would explain why you have to resort to kidnapping and thievery given how pathetically weak you are compared to your Dragon Race elites. Maybe putting you as a B Class Dragon was too generous." Queen Écarlate explained to the dragon.
"SHUT UP! I WON'T BE ORDERED OR DISRESPECTED BY A HUMAN! Fire Dragon Bullet." Capoke shouts as he then shoots miniature fireballs that are like bullets that move much faster than the Dragon Roar but she effortlessly dodges the attacks.
"It's a shame magic attacks don't work well against Dragons, thankfully I'm able to fight without magic by pushing my body to the very limits of human power and by doing so, I granted myself the strength to fight most Dragons without the use of the Hoshigami No Satsuki However when I do use the Hoshigami No Satsuki , there's not a Dragon alive i can't kill or defeat in battle. Frankly I was hoping you be a bit more of a challenge but in reality, I can't even get the rust off not having to fight for 6 years. " Queen Écarlate said to the Dragon boss as she stretches her arms in a form of exercise.
"I thought you were some kind of peaceful queen who didn't like wars." Capoke stated.
"In a way that's true but to be honest, I enjoy fighting a truly worthy opponent. A part of my body feels an enjoyment fighting someone that's worth my time, that's how I ended up marrying my husband Charles Nightwalker. He was the first human to have ever beaten my own desires to fight battles that scared parts of my body was repressed by me having a child." Queen Écarlate explained to the bandit king as she cracks her knuckles preparing to fight back.
"You admit you're a masochist?" Capoke asked.
"There's nothing better than the rush I get by fighting." Queen Écarlate replied with a slasher smile.
"So all this time…" Capoke asked as sweat goes down his brow.
"I tried to repress my animalistic desire for conflict and conquest by trying to surround myself with flowers and trying to reduce the amount of warfare in the world with peaceful negotiations. When I'm in combat, I allow the enemies to unload everything they got on me which gives me the ultimate high. You see why repressing this side of me is a problem for me? If allow my dark thoughts and desires overcome me, I would be a deranged Sociopath with a body count stretching my entire country for how much I loved fighting. I repress my urge for combat because true strength isn't what you're born with, it's what you do with it and it's harder to avoid the urge to fight than to fight. I hope for the light of me my baby girl when she grows up is not cursed with the same genes to love warfare and hope that Berlesion would be the light to her like he was to me. Lord knows what might happen to the world if my daughter ever became anything like you." Queen Écarlate explained to Capoke.
"So that's why you became so peaceful? I hate peace, it's a bullshit concept. This idea of peace and tranquility would be the downfall of the Dragonv Empire. We're the greatest military force in the world. I don't get why we let inferior countries to us exist, that's why I refuse to accept you as queen of this land. Your father was better!" Capoke ranted as he's upset about how the queen runs her empire.
"To tell you the truth, the reason I want peace isn't merely because I cherish people's lives, it's to make sure my daughter and my granddaughter would never face the burden of warfare. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life prior to meeting Charles and got into a lot of fights and did plenty of things unbecoming of a queen. I am the queen who formed the greatest military power out of love, I'm the queen who does whatever the people asks her to do and willing to do anything to protect the peace my family fought so hard to establish for generations. Warmongers such as yourself have no place in my kingdom."Queen Écarlate explains to Capoke as she transforms her hair and her body.
Queen Écarlate transforms with her hair turning reddish Pink with her dreadlock ponytail becoming wild flowing hair flowing upwards with her skin turning darker.
"What is this?" Capoke asked shocked to see the queen powered up.
"This is a state of my power that is known as Bringer of War Mode. My heart is 99.8% pure However this form trades in much of that and allows my evil nature to flow through. It's a legendary power passed down by the Dragonv family that was rare magic from the Crocus Empire, Gappione and Gaceria Empire. All of the magical power used to cast magic is traded for raw power, perfect for fighting again I was never that good at magic compared to my husband." Queen Écarlate explained to Capoke.
"So what, you changed your fucking hair? Big deal! The fact you need that form only shows how weak you are…You can't hope to best the strongest of Dragons with that form and the fact you're fighting me in that form only goes to show.." Capoke arrogantly laughed only to get punched in the stomach with him stumbling over.
"You seriously think you're worth my full power? Don't make me laugh. I took up this form because you violated 3 important rules. Never grope the queen unless you're given her permission and you request it and I approve of the request, never destroy the queen's sweets and NEVER MESS WITH HER FAMILY!" Queen Écarlate shouted as she unleashes an immense aura comparable to a Dragon.
"No this can't be, I'm a dragon…Yet one glare has me frightened…No, she's just a human, a human woman...Why am I trembling in fear?" Capoke said to himself as his knees tremble from the presence of the queen.
Capoke fires more Dragon Fire bullets at Queen Écarlate.
"So you're not as weak as I thought, a punch of that caliber would've effortlessly killed even some B rank Dragons, however, if I hit you 3 more times with that punch. I will kill you." Queen Écarlate said to Capoke as she evades his attacks with relative ease.
"And your mistake is thinking that you can win. I have my trump card up my sleeve. Fire Dragon Ricocheting bullets." Capoke chanted as he throws a fireball that bounces around like a bullet moving around hundreds of times which condenses to the size of a bullet.
"The old Ricochet fire bullet attack from the wars? Your fighting style is formidable, however…" Queen Écarlate said to Capoke only to get caught in what appears to be flaming tripwires.
"Been a while, the reason I was renowned as a war hero was because of my abilities to entrap enemies with my ingenious flame wire traps. Such traps are how we protected this country from attacks. You must've gotten rusty in your 6-year absence from battle whereas I've gotten strong enough to hold my own against even the Dragon Protection Squad. These flame strings is a testament to the extreme concentration and effort I have regarding my control of fire magic. The strength of these strings can bind even mountains. You lose Queen Écarlate!" Capoke laughed as he seemingly has defeated the mighty queen in battle
However, Queen Écarlate laughs as she moves around and destroys 3 mountains and breaks the strings with ease.
"Impossible! Those strings have the sharpness of a Broadsword with temperatures as hot as Molten Iron with the density to hold a mountain range, she should be cut to clean cut pieces. What is she?" Capoke asked horrified at the sight of the queen's strength.
"I must admit, I felt a bit of pleasure from that last attack. You weren't wrong on me being rusty from combat, still, I don't want to discredit you, you are almost as strong as Grandeeny… Still, couldn't you pick something better than 3 mountains? That's not enough to stop my strength…THE STRENGTH OF A MOTHERS SCORN!" Queen Écarlate replied as goes to fight Capoke.
"Fire Dragon Slik Wire" Queen Écarlate Capoke shouted as he tries to use his tripwire attacks towards the Queen.
"Goddess Purgatory Spar. " Queen Écarlate countered as she crosses both hands over her chest before slashing forward with a downward "X" motion which creates a shockwave that slashes up the flame ropes into billions of pieces and cuts a nearby mountain into billions of pieces as if each of the rock material was cut by a sword.
"Impossible, she was able to cut my attacks without drawing her sword? Just how skilled is she without a blade?" Capoke said to himself as he breaks in a cold sweat as he sees Queen Écarlate plan her next move.
She removes her boots and her stockings and gathers energy around herself and bounces up and down with her large breasts heaving everywhere and then at the moments notice, disappears.
"Sword Body Style: Warth of the Purgatory War God" Queen Écarlate chanted as she dashes with a flying headbutt which knocks down Capoke leaving him unable to move. She then picks up her Hoshigami No Satsuki.
"Impossible, she defeated me without using her Hoshigami No Satsuki. No wonder she's the Queen of Dragons." Capoke said to himself but is grabbed by the queen before passing out. with her pointing her sword to his neck.
"Where's my daughter Irene? " Queen asked with a face that harbors murderous intent.
"She's in the base within the room. Don't worry, we didn't harm her or anything. It would do us no good if she was harmed. I'm guessing this is the part where you finish me for treason. Finish me off." Capoke said to the queen ready to accept his fate for treason.
"I won't! I vow myself to reform and change minds, I will not make the same mistakes as my father or my grandmother before me that nearly destroyed the alliance between Dragons and humans. I would carry on the First Queen's will to protect and serve as many people as possible regardless of their creed and ideology. As Queen of Dragonv, my goal is to be a queen for the people! I would take on any burdens for my people, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There's a reason I have a 98% approval rating and that's because I believe in giving people a second chance. You are to be punished for your crimes but also give a chance to reform and see the error of your ways. "Queen Écarlate explained to Capoke when her Dragon Protection Squad arrives with Berlesion and Charles on the back.
"Are you alright Queen Écarlate?" Ingeel asked her worried about her safety.
"I'm fine! Just had a rough up, nothing too serious."Queen Écarlate answered.
"You're hurt though Écarlate." Granddeeny stated concerned about her injuries.
"I've had far worse, this body is so used to pain that I feel the opposite of pain when I fight my opponents." Écarlate replied.
"We were able to get our daughter back, she was enjoying strawberry cake within a nice room, she was thankfully unhurt. She'll be fine !" Charles stated.
"Yes! Don't worry Irene, mommy is going to make sure these baddies never hurt you again." Queen Écarlate replied as she hugs Irene told her.
"I wanna be as strong as you when I grow up mommy." Irene said to her mother.
"Don't worry Irene, one day you would surpass even my own strength. You just need to maintain a near state of pure heart and never give up on your resolve to protect others. When you do that, you can achieve any length of power." Queen Écarlate explains to her daughter.
"So are you going to start teaching me magic?" Irene asked.
"Yep, I'm going to teach you how to make your body and mind one with the blade you use and your father is going to teach you the art of Enchantment." Queen Écarlate answered as she walks away with Irene holding her hand.
Irene's POV
So that was how strong my mother was. Belserion told me tales of her legendary strength but it's the first time I've seen it from Belserion's point of view. After all with his Dragon Magic part of my essence, I'm not only seeing life through my own eyes but the things I wasn't around for. That's my mother alright, the legendary badass Queen of Dragons and possibly the strongest queen to ever live, even to this day my powers are still not as great as her own.
Capoke and his gang would be sentenced to 20 years in prison for child endangerment and kidnapping. Capoke will get out in 10 for good behavior for his beatdown in the hands of my mother reformed him and made him loyal to Dragonv again for after seeing the Queen's strength firsthand and her conviction and heart made him reconsider his ideas. Seeing this full interaction for the first time just made realize what I failed to understand all these years, something that could've saved me from my fate.
Things seemed peaceful throughout the kingdom of Dragonv, that is until tragedy struck.

June 28,x376
One week after my mother rescued me from those criminals, a funeral was held within the ruins of a small peaceful village. Queen Écarlate and King Charles appear to make her speech with her Dragon Protection Squad protecting her, Belserion at their side and groups of Amazionans, Adonis and Dragonvians in the crowd with portraits.
"Here lies the fallen heroes of the Amazonians and Adonsisans who died fighting the war between the sexes and how two heroes emerged from their countries and united the great nation of, Graecia a nation divided by a curse that pitted men and women by sex. In the memory and life of the two fallen heroes. Alexander Dragneel, former Legate commander of the Andosis Tribe and Amazonian warrior princess Diana Leondais, the 3rd daughter of the now dead Queen Aresrala. They lived the remainder of their lives in this small peaceful village, abandoning their wealth for peace and prosperity and living with two children who perished along with this peaceful small village."Queen Écarlate said to the crowd in attendance mourning her lost comrades.
After the funeral, my mother was giving flowers out to the gravestones of the fallen heroes where I asked her a question that I would never forget regarding this point of my life.
"Mommy, what is death?" I asked her mother.
"Death occurs when either someone bad takes your life or when you become too old and die of natural causes. Everyone dies eventually when they become too old and there's nothing we can do about that." my mother answered.
"Even me?" I asked.
"Yes, even you, my daughter." My mother answered bluntly.
"I don't wanna die, I don't want you to die either. I want everyone to live." I shouted as tears started to form in my eyes.
"As I said, everyone dies of old age, even Dragons would eventually die of old age and there's nothing we can do about it. However, we can prevent people from dying too soon. The job of a King or Queen is to protect as many people as possible from premature death. All these people you see around you? It's my job to make sure that they're all protected from evil people who wish to take their lives at an early age. One day you would be entrusted to protect not only the people in this country but the world. It's our job as rulers of Dragonv to maintain the Human/Dragon alliance, if that falls apart, the consequences can result in the result in endless wars and potential destruction of the Humans and Dragons." My mother explained to me.
As I stare at my child self, I realized what my mother met by those words, however, I could of not foresee the actions of what I would create and cause that would've doomed the world, however, consider what emerged from the ashes of the world I lived came a new hope for the future. It's a shame I can't see my children fight against the biggest mistake I've created, the mistake that destroyed everything I worked hard to protect.
End of 1st Person POV
3rd Person POV
While Irene backtracks within her thoughts, Irene also then sees another vision occurring at the time of a Dark Dragon flying over a Village within Midi, the same village she was just in with her parents.
"What's going on here? Where am I now? This doesn't look like the flashback of my life."Irene said to herself as she sees a Dragon flying over a village in Midi.
She goes towards the village to see engulfed in flames from a single blast from a Rouge Fire Dragon. The Dragon has a turtle shell on it's back with spike bat wings with Bull Horns on its head with a fiery red mane with a crocodile-like snout. It has reddish-orange scales on its body with a pale yellow underbelly scales and its snout is also pale yellow. The Dragon has blood red eyes and a spiky tail and is very muscular. Irene as an adult recognizes the form anywhere.
"Dark Dragon King Krauser, why am I in this flashback of him destroying a village? What significance does this have to do with my past?" Irene said to herself only to hear a sole survivor within the village massacre.
"This can't be. This is Natsu's flashback. These are his dead parents, former Adnosis soldier Alexander Dragneel and former Amazonian warrior Diana Leondais. Those two going by mothers word contributed greatly to helping Dragonv defeat the oppressive governments of Minstrel and Caelum at the must've fled to the neighboring kingdom of Midi after the war to raise their child in this peaceful village…Only to end up dead." Irene said to herself as she gets a good look at the two slain parents who were nearly burned alive in the flames.
Zeref is the only survivor holding on to Natsu who died of smoke inhalation within the bathroom. Zeref and Natsu hid in the bathroom to avoid the burning flames but both of them are coughing from the immense smoke from the flames.
"Natsu…Come on wake up." Zeref said to his 3-year-old brother as he's dying from the smoke.
"Brother…" Natsu replied as he then passes way within his hand after uttering his first and only words in his life.
"It's not fair! He only got to say one word before he died…THIS CAN'T BE! NOOOOOOOO!" Zeref shouted as he cries as he watched everyone within his peaceful town dead with his parents dead within the burning house as he walks out with his brother dead in his hands being the only words he uttered before death.
"I see, now it makes sense. These are Natsu's memories. His Dragon Seed is showing me fragments of his memories as they interconnect to my memories. The fate of Natsu and Zeref are interconnected to my life long before I even met both of them. Two people who would forever change m life for better or for worse." Irene said to herself as she stares at her younger self who is with her mother.
(A/N: Yep Irene is seeing Natsu and Zeref's memories? How do you ask? Because of Dragon Seed, if Natsu can see Zeref's memories and his own memories via Dragon Seed, I figure why couldn't the creator of Dragon Slayer powers can't do the same. Those who share a special bond with Irene would have their own screentime within Irene's thoughts as part of the bonds storyline I'm going with which would obviously include Erza as well as Natsu.
As for Queen, she's made to be an Expy of Medaka Kurokami if you haven't noticed by the suggestion box ideas, her silmair fighting style and persona. So yeah expect the queen to be an even crazier version of Erza. She's not as skilled at magic as Charles Nightwalker but is stronger in a straight up fight. She's a master swordsman much like Erza is but has a fighting style that's a cross between Mr 1 from One Piece and Medaka from Medaka Box. Charles Nightwalker is an enchantment master who would be the one who trains Irene into being a master of enchantment magic who's also an Expy of Zenkichi Hitoyoshi from Medaka Box as well.
As for Dragon Ranks, each of the Dragons have a military rank which would be given more detail as time goes on. As you can see C-Ranks are the foot soldier ranks of generic Dragons and B Rank dragons are a bit more skilled, the ranks would be silmair to Mage ranks. As for Natsu's Parents, yes they're war heroes who retired from their occupations after a long war and helped Erza's Grandmother within the Amazonian War and were slain by the Evil Dragon King Krauser, keep those names in mind for the future going into Irene's backstory. Anyways stuck tune to next chapter where Erza's mother begins her training into the mage that she would, expect a bit more coverage of Zeref and Natsu's fates as time goes on as well as others.)
