Chapter start
Town of White Castle-A day after Draco's return to his 'home.'
Mirajane and her younger brother, Elfman exit the train in the White Castle train station. With the train station designed with a white castle theme. Mirajane just ignored the decor, as Elfman tried to calm her down, "Mira-nee, you need to calm down."
Mira just growls at Elfman's comment before saying, "I need to know why he left, without even being at the funeral? You know how the two felt about one another."
"I know Mira-nee," Elfman started to argue, "But maybe he just could not handle staying with the guild."
"We could have helped him," Mira spoke as she began to cry, "We lost her too."
Elfman looked down sadly and says, "He probably had his reasons," his tone indicating that he may know something. Mira says nothing and he heads through the village while looking to the old manor on the hill, remembering the day she saw the place.
The day three Takeover mages meet the ringed dragon. (Mira Centred)
Averus Fur smiles and says, "You have completed your task," he then throws a bag of money at the three siblings' feet, "You may leave," indicating them to leave through the only door.
Lisiana Looks at the two and stands her ground, "What did you do to him?" referring to Draco.
The man in red then simply says with a laugh, "I killed his parents, and brought him to despair, but something occurred that halted the transformation and we want answers," he then gives them a crazy smile.
Mira then gets angry and whispers, "You two get the boy out of here, I'll take these two down," her two siblings nod before she shouts, "Demon Soul!" and trans forms into her demon form. (Not going to describe it due to it being the same as the anime.)
Mira Jumps toward the two intruders, where the two transform, the man in red into a humanoid phoenix and Averus Fur into a green cycloptic cactus with a purple eye. The Phoenix blocks Mira's punch using a silver broadsword.
Lisiana and Elfman run to the door that Draco had locked himself behind. Elfman tries to open the door but is shocked by magic seals painted to the door. Lisiana looks at the entire surface of the door before noticing the hole in the wall next to the door, big enough to for a small animal, like a cat. Lisiana then says, "Animal Soul," before she transforms into a cat and enters the room.
Mira begins to blast the two intruders, when a random energy blast hits the wall of the library shelves only for the energy to bounce around the room, before slamming into Phoenix's back. Phoenix growls and then charges at Mira where and proceeds to attack her through a window out of the manor, that repaired itself after.
Present.
Mira and Elfman walk along the path, where they reach the gates with the open book sculpture where the book would get split in half, of the manor. They open the gates and walks along the path until they reach the front doors of the manor and Mira bangs on the doors.
When she does not get an answer she knocks again louder, before she hears shuffling behind the door and muttering. One of the doors open to reveal Franky with a human sized cup of coffee in his small hands and clearly exhausted. He looks to the two and asks, "Can I help you?" with a tone that indicated he does not care.
"I want to see Draco," Mira questioned with a stern glare.
Franky just looks at her and asks, "Why?"
"Because I am an old friend who wishes to talk with him," Mira replies.
"Why?" =P
"Because I am concerned," Mira answered with growing anger.
"Why?"
"Just let me in," she tries to open the door more only to find the door unmovable.
"Franky! Who is at the door?" Micky asked as she reached the door.
"Strangers," Franky simply replies.
Micky reveals herself to give a tired 'Oh' face and then questions, "What do they want?"
"They want to speak to someone by the name of 'Draco' and they thing this person is here," Franky answered in a snappy voice.
Micky nods and says politely, "I am sorry, but we don't know anyone by that name," before they politely close the door.
Elfman just remained silent until he finally spoke, "They were like happy."
Mira's eyebrow twitched and she then says, "We just had the door slam close on our faces and that is all your taking from this situation," Elfman rubs the back of his head in embarrassment. Mira then looks at the darkening sky and says, "Come on let's get a couple hotel rooms, for the night and try again tomorrow."
Unknown to the two, Draco in his rider form was sitting on the roof above them, as they turned around and left the manor. After five minutes he drops down, landing on his feet and enters the manor to see, Franky drinking his coffee while sitting next to Micky on the steps leading to the next floor, with Micky eating a bag of gummy fish.
Franky puts his coffee down and asks, "Do you know who they were?"
Draco simply nods and says, "Pack whatever you are going to need for a journey. Where going on a trip," as he walks to the main Library.
The two cats nod and head to their rooms and packed what they would need for the journey. Draco simply went to the Book of Zeref, which made him think of that fate filled day.
The day three Takeover mages meet the ringed dragon. Continued. (Draco Centered)
Draco is seen hiding under a very large bed, with his feet pointing out behind him along with the silver tail. This was the sight the Lisiana sees as she enters the room still in her cat form. She crawls her way to the thirteen year old boy, and then speaks, "We need to leave, before those men can break in."
Draco flinches as he looks to the white cat, who then transformed back into Lisiana and says, "They can't get in, They would need permission to even enter," as he moves his cloak further over his face.
"But I got in," Lisiana countered, "through the hole on the wall next to the door." Draco is shocked by this knowledge. Lisiana then continued, "We don't know what is happening to you, but maybe Master Macorov may know something that can help you."
Draco's eyes began to fill with hope, when Elfman is sent flying through the wall after being punched by the cycloptic cactus that followed Elfman into the room.
"Where are you, my future kohai," Averus Fur spoke from the creature.
Present.
Draco leaves the book and heads to his room as Franky arrives with a small suitcase. Franky proceeds to pull a lever that makes his craft area transform into a trailer for a motorcycle, with seats for himself and Micky, while his seat has a small work bench.
Micky then enters the room holding a large duffle bag, over her head, with a simple backpack on. She then throws the empty bag on the ground in the middle of the room and quickly searches through the books on displace and decides on which books to take, that were not considered dangerous by Draco, she then packs close to fifty books into the large duffle bag. Draco returns to the room with his pack with a blanket strapped to the top. (A bag like Natsu's.)
Draco lifts the bag of the ground and proceeds to place the bag into the trailer. Franky then grabs the handle and tries to pull the trailer to the front door only to find that it is too heavy for his small size. Draco shakes his armoured head and proceeds to pull the trailer to the front door as Micky and Franky follow behind, though while Micky is holding a book. Once he takes the trailer outside, he docks it to his bike before proceeding back inside and collecting the Book of Zeref. He then pushes the bike towards the gates as Franky and Micky gets comfortable, as they reach the gates, Draco pulled out of the property of the Pendragon estate.
Draco sighs and says, "Well, this is my first time moving," as the gate closes, he reaches the sculpture and closes the book, resulting in the entire estate sucked into the spine of the book. The book title is shown to be 'The Pendragon estate' before he takes the book and stores the book into his pack. He then gets onto his bike and asks, "Where to first?"
Micky opens the book she was holding and says, "let's go to the 'Dragon's Keep' this book says that it was the last castle to be taken by humanity before the Dragon Human War."
Draco nods and says, "That sounds fun, that's a three day trip from here, right?"
Micky reads the book further and says, "yeah we need to head west through the mountains," causing Draco to nod before they proceed on their journey.
The Next day.
Mira and Elfman returns to the previous location of the Pendragon Estate to find the entire estate to be missing. Mira and Elfman were silent, until a random old lady arrived and says, "I see, someone moved the Pendragon estate."
"Moved?" Elfman questioned.
"The Pendragon family paid for this land twenty years ago, and they built their home overnight," the old lady spoke, "They said that if the estate ever vanishes, I can resell the land, and to think I am retiring at the end of the week," the women smiles and continues her walk.
Elfman just sighs and says, "So Draco was here, but has decided to vanish completely?"
Mira just says, "What is so different now, compared to when we came here before?"
Elfman just remained silent.
The day three Takeover mages meet the ringed dragon. Continued. (Elfman Centered)
Elfman Stood up and activated his magic, "BEAST SOUL" which caused his right arm to be covered in rocks. He sees his little sister pulling the strange boy out of the room, leaving him to fight with full focus.
He glares at the Cactus man, before he roars and charges the creature, and punches the creature back a foot. At this point he realises that the Cactus man's thorns penetrated his Beast Soul arm. While he was in pain, the Cactus man, punches him square in the face, causing a large gash under his right eye and him to be knocked unconscious.
Present.
Elfman started to walk back into town. Mira stares at his back and shouts, "Where are you going?"
Elfman just simply answers with, "I am heading back to the guild. We won't find him here. So until we learn more, we need to be patient. It's the manly thing to do."
He continued walking as Mira sighs and says, "What is going through your head Draco?"
With Draco-Mountain path to Dragon's Keep-two hours Later.
A journey that would normally take days as indicated by the book, only took a night to reach the other side. The path is too narrow for carts or Magic cars to pass through without falling off of the mountain. For Draco, his bike meant that he had enough room for two bikes to ride side by side, and with his practice in riding for days without rest and in the dark, he reached the end of the mountain pass before dawn.
Draco stops his bike and looks to Franky and Micky, with Micky sleeping next to Franky, as he works on another ring, this one with a dragon playing with a puppet in the shape of a human. Draco gets off of his bike, and taps Micky's side and says, "We are here Micky," causing her to stir and yawn.
Micky's eyes then widen as she gets very excited and looks around, before calming down and then saying, "Did the place turn to dust?"
Draco and Franky shake their heads when Draco then speaks, "No, we will be able to see the castle after we pass the next turn."
Micky then jumps onto his shoulders and shouts while pointing at corner, "Then let's go!"
The two then walk towards the last turn. Once there they see the Dragon's Keep, under new management, if the banners and tapestry for the Cult of Drago was anything to go by. A dark guild with the purpose of collecting dangerous artefacts to gain power. At this point Draco feels a vibration in his pack. He takes his pack off and opens the bag to see the 'Book of Zeref' glowing. He pulls it out and the book opens to reveal a page where they it shows of a pentagram of images with the centre being of twelve talismans with the title of the 'Zodiac Talismans' and three of the thirty talisman images glowing, with the titles of Dragon, Cat and Unicorn. The pages writing then changes to speak of the history of the Talisman which then where it explains the history of the talismans, of how there was originally twelve before the original creator's son learn the secrets of the Talismans before killing his father and creating more Talismans with trial and error. The pages then displays the secrets of the three Talismans located in the Castle. The Dragon creates combustion, The Cat grant the user with super human agility and Unicorn grants the user the gift of longevity.
Draco looks to the castle to see that the fortress is on the other side of a canyon with a single bridge guarded by cult members in dragon themed cloaks. Draco then glares at the castle, before he returns the book to his pack. He then opens the chest hidden in the trailer, pulls out two rings one green but designed like his helmet and the other was of a dragon vanishing on the spot.
Draco then says, "Stay here," before he flips the hand symbol on his belt, -SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN- he then place the green ring over his belt, -HURRICANE, PLEASE-he raises the ring up and a seal appears above him, that lowers over his form, changing the red gems into green and his helmet changing to match the shape of the ring.
Franky then speaks, "This ring may be helpful," he throws the ring to Draco, "Its turns an item into a puppet or when used on a living creature, it follows one order for twenty four hours."
Draco nods and adds the ring to his chain along with the Flame ring, before flipping the symbol again, -MAGIC TOUCH, HERE WE GO- he then placed the ring over his belt, -VANISH PLEASE- Draco then turns invisible before a green tornado on the spot he was standing before it flew towards the castle.
Micky simply says, "Awe, I wanted to see him fly."
Franky just smirks and says, "Do you want him to be shot out of the sky?" Micky simple shakes her head in the negative, "Besides, you wanted to see the Dragon's Keep, he will want to avoid damaging the structure."
Fairy Tail Guild Hall.
Lucy was helping her new friend, Levi who uses script magic, with waiting tables in the guild while Mira and Elfman went on a trip. Her friend ship with Levi began when Levi discovered that Lucy was working on a story in the park when Levi walked through the park on her way to the Guild, and she had asked if she could read what she had written, and from there they form a friendship through books. It put Lucy's mind at ease after Natsu had in a sense used her to destroy a book. In the end she discovered a very personal secret for the Son of the original Author. Though they were never paid for the job, she still received the Virgo Celestial Key, which saved the lives of many Guild masters.
Lucy served Macao and his friend with large beers, before wheeling a large barrel around the bar counter for Cana, who is a card mage who can create different effects by using different card combinations.
Lucy looks to the quest board to see Natsu and Happy trying to find a quest to go on, but in truth they were waiting for Mira and Elfman to return. Natsu because he wanted to talk to that dragon he saw with Draco, and Happy wanted to see his 'Uncle' as he would say.
Erza was currently on a mission to defeat a cult, known as the Cult of Drago' apparently they had attacked a village and stole an artefact, and old Talisman that had been a part of the Village's power station. Grey was also on a mission, his for a group of bandits that had attacked another village for as yet unknown reason. The two villages are within a day's journey of each other, only with a series of mountains between them.
Lucy's musing then stopped when she turns to Master Macorov, who was cross legged on the bar counter, drink a mug of beer half his size, also known as a normal sized mug in Fairy Tail.
Lucy then asks, "Master?" this gain Macorov's attention, "I would like to know more about that wizard on the dragon."
Macorov sighs before speaking, "Young Draco, would be considered the strongest of your generation, even before he became a mage."
The day three Takeover mages meet the ringed dragon. Continued. (Draco Centred)
Lisiana pulls Draco out of his bedroom, when they hear Elfman grunt in pain and then being slammed into a wall in the back of the room. The two then run towards doors of the library past the 'Book of Zeref's' pedestal. When they reached the pedestal, the Cactus man stepped out of the room and shot a thorn at the boy. Lisiana pushed him out of the way, and the thorn stabbed her into the shoulder. Draco was knocked into the Pedestal and the book landed face down and open.
Lisiana tries to stand but the Cactus man then speaks, "My thorns can paralyse those they prick."
Lisiana begins to panic as the monster reaches for Draco, who was muttering 'no' repeatedly, his hand reaching for the side of his head.
The Cactus man then starts to speak, "Give into your despair, and join with your brethren."
"Get away from him!" Lisiana shouts.
This gets the Cactus man's attention, he appears to smirk before changing his focus to her, "But first, how about a snack."
Draco hears what the monster says and looks over his shoulder and realises what the monster wanted to do. That is when the Dragon then spoke to him, 'the monster is going to hurt your friend if you don't do anything,' the voice was strangely comforting compared to the roars that normally came from it.
Draco grits his teeth and stands, before roaring and shredding the cloak off of his body to reveal worn clothing, and his right arm, left side of his face, looking like a dragon, with a tail, and one wing on his back, with glowing purple crack separating human from dragon. (Just picture the dragon from the show for a more detailed view.) Draco then charges the Cactus man and slashes his back with his clawed right arm.
Present-Fairy Tail Guild Hall.
Lucy was flabbergasted with what Macorov just described before saying, "So he is like Natsu?"
Macorov just shakes his head and says, "No, Natsu was taught by a dragon, Draco almost became a Dragon one that could rival even the most powerful of wizard," he finished cryptically. Lucy was confused but Macorov stands and says, "I need to go, to the Wizard counsel now," at that a toad entered the Guild hall holding a parchment with the Wizard Counsel seal.
Dragon's Keep
Draco landed on the tallest tower of the castle before his vanishing spell wore off. He then looked down towards the court yard to see one of the cultists balancing upside down on the tip of a sword. While another higher ranked enforcer holds a small rock pointed at another cultist being held on their knees, before a blast of energy removes the man's arm. He could hear the screams from here. At this point he notices a large group of cultists returning to castle, with a what appears to be more Talimans, in the leaders hands.
Draco switches the ring on his right hand with another ring this one with a dragon looking through a telescope. –ZOOM, PLEASE- this causes a green circle to appear in front of Draco's face where it zooms in on the two new Talismans, An Ell and an Ox. He deactivates spell, and looks down at the courtyard again to see, the one who appears to be in charge of the cult. Under his helmet he smirks and looks at the cult before pulling out the Puppet ring and continues to watch.
Down below the Cult leader with the Unicorn Talisman around his neck shouts to his minions, "Stop disrespecting our god, and hand over the Talismans, the great Drago created," as a result the balancing man leaped off of the sword and handed the talisman to him, while his enforcer hands the Dragon Talisman, the Cult leader then speaks, "The great power that is Drago, has led his followers to more of his power, as we speak the power that is lightning and true strength return."
When he finished his speech the gates open to reveal the large group of cultists, the lead cultist stepped forward and bowed in front of the cult leader and hands him the Talismans. The Cult Leader says nothing as he takes the Talisman, and smiles before raising the Ell talisman and launches blast of lightning into the air, just missing the tower Draco is on.
Draco only moved to avoid being seen by the cultists, and to enter the tower to find the stairs to be worn out and most of the steps missing, forcing him to scale the rocky walls down to an elevated level above the main chamber of the fortress. He looks down to the main floor to see the cult leader walk towards the opposite end from the entrance.
Draco sees a path leading to the same room from his position he enters the doorway where he finds a staircase leading down to the treasure room. Once there he sees the cult leader sitting on a throne of gold and the room filled with treasures. The clan leader clearly did not believe what he preached. Draco stepped down the steps silently as he stalked his target.
Draco drops down in front of the cult leader –PUPPET, PLEASE- to create a small golden ball into the cult Leader, before saying, "Hand over the Talismans," the cult leader nods and hands over the five Talismans. The result was the cult leader then turning grey and falling to the ground and bursting into dust, with his clothes being the only part remaining. Draco looked to the Unicorn Talisman and says, "So you have been alive longer then you should been, I wonder how many you have killed to gain what you would have called power," musing to himself, before the sounds of explosions are heard.
The front entrance of the Dragon's keep.
To say the two were surprised to see each other would be considered an understatement. Erza had been sent to retrieve a stolen magical item of importance to a local coastal town power supply depends on this 'Talisman' as they called it. Grey was here to retrieve a family heirloom a talisman of an Ox, that had been in the family for a hundred years.
After a simple argument, between the two, Erza believing that Grey followed her, which was solved by grey showing her, his job. Any argument was quickly shot down as the blast of lightning had shown them where the 'Bandits' where hidden.
This led them to find a castle, guarded by a large group of cultists, that they took down rather quickly. Erza then turned to Grey and says, "Stay behind me, these are dangerous individuals," with a no nonsense tone.
Grey simply nods and says, "Just remember, I am on a different job, so you can't punish me," Erza nods.
Erza nods before she summons a pair of her largest swords that she uses to smash the large gate, once inside Erza shouts, "Hand over what you have stolen, and I will show mercy."
A group of cultist tried to blindside her, but they were stopped by Grey, giving the floor beneath them a sheet of ice to slip on, and knocking them unconscious. "Ice, Make! Club!" Grey creates an ice baseball bat, and charges the cultists and begins to smash them away from them. From the main hall the Cult enforcer looks at the two wizards before he ran back inside.
The cult enforcer barges past all of the Cultist to reach his master's chambers, before he barged in to see Draco, holding the Talismans. The enforcer then looks to the ground and sees the remains of his master. The enforcer then roars and charges Draco.
Draco stares at the enforcer, which to him looked to be in slow motion, Draco then donkey kicks the man through the doors and knocks ten cultists to the ground, -STRIKE!- Draco steps out of the room and looks at the cultists.
The main doors are smashed open by Erza with Grey standing behind her. They look through the crowd to see Draco, but were confused when they saw the colour green. Grey then makes a comment, "Why is he here?"
The Enforcer looks back and forth before pointing at Draco and shouting, "That infidel killed our master!"
This got the cultist angry but Draco then speaks, "Some 'master' he just handed these to me," he is sarcastic as he raises the five Talismans in full view of the cult. They all then roared and attacked Draco, who avoided all of the attacks, like a roaring wind through a mountain range, and striking down those that let their guard down, like thunder and lightning. When fire magic was used to attack, Draco generates winds to spin the flames away from him and into other cultists.
Erza then tales a small group out as she lands next to Draco and shouts, "You should not be here!"
Draco just chuckles and asks, "Because I'm not on 'this' mission or because of Rank?" before he performs a flying spin kick that takes down twenty cultists, due to the large gust of wind. Grey uses his Ice Bat to slam another cultist through a wall. Draco then shouts, "Try to avoid destroying this place, I came here for the tour."
Grey just shook his head as Erza then continued, "This is not a holiday location!" and disarmed many more of the cult.
"Didn't you know, this is a location with historical meaning, to those related to dragons," Draco commented before bringing up the Dragon Talisman and blasting the floor in front of another group of cultists blasting them away, "Though these days, I guess I can be called a collector," before took down the rest of the Cultists, with a gust of wind, kicked towards them in the form of a twister.
Draco looks to Grey to see him finish with a couple of cultists, but destroyed statue of a fire dragon. Draco then replaces the ring on his right hand with a ring with a dragon going through a portal. –CONECT, PLEASE!- he activates a seal and reaches inside and pulls out a small sack and places the Talismans inside before throwing the bag to Erza, "Get that to Makorov, he will know what to do with them," before walking to the doors.
"Wait!" Grey shouts, "At least tell us why you vanished from the guild."
Draco says nothing instead throws a folded piece of paper to him. Draco continues to walk before saying, "Give that to Natsu."
Erza then jumps in front of Draco, "You are coming with us," she goes to grab him only for Draco to fade away like a mirage. Erza looks back and forth and says, "He has learnt some annoying tricks."
Grey looked to her and says, "I thought that he only had control over fire?"
Erza opens the Sack and pulls out the Ox talisman and throws it to Grey, "Take that to your client. I will finish my quest, and then take these dangerous items to the guild."
Grey then looks to the paper in his hand, "What do you think this is about?"
Erza then started to walk away, "We must hurry and complete our missions and inform Master." Grey simply nods and follows her out of the castle.
They went in the opposite direction to where Draco was, while Draco watched the two leave with Micky and Franky on each shoulder. Franky then asks, "Was it wise to give them those Talismans?"
Draco was silent before he speaks, "I trust them to not to use them, and if they did, it would be to protect others. Plus knowing Macorov, he will ensure they will not fall into the hands of another cult."
Micky pouted and complains, "Though they would make great inspiration for spells."
Draco smiles at Micky's complaints before he heads to his bike, "Come on, you wanted a tour," causing Micky to become excited as they return to his bike.
Franky then spoke, "And after the 'tour' can we go to Crystallo Village, we are almost out of gems to make your rings."
Draco nods before warning Micky, "Just a heads up, there is several unconscious cult members, they may decide to wake up."
End of chapter two
(This took a couple days to write compared to what some of my other stories, though there will be another chapter before it follows the main story of Fairy Tail again. I also want to say that the Ell Talisman was not my Idea, it came from Rayzor14's story 'A Demon's Familiar' which is an interesting story. For future reference, not all artefacts will be talismans they just went well with this chapter.
Please review and comment without giving spoilers.
So Until Next Time! Beware The Wraith!...or Dragons! Whichever you prefer!)
