The Apocalypse Swordsman
Chapter 2
A/N: I do not own fairy tail, if I did I would be in there and NaLu would be canonised, it would be certain, I only own the OC's, and even then one of them is my friends so yeah… ENJOY CHAPTER TWO (PS: I make no money from this… unfortunately)
Several hours after the dramatic reveal, Nick introduced himself and his companions.
"I am Nick Stryker, I am sixteen, S-Class wizard of Fairy Tail" He stated.
Everyone was shocked at this, all but Makarov and Laxus, who already knew of his existence, but were nonetheless surprised by his return.
"I'm Natasha Stryker, I am also sixteen, I wish to join the guild with Nick, I hope we can all be friends" Natasha said as she removed her hood, revealing a soft smile on her cute face.
She had black hair that went down to her waist, piercing blue eyes, slightly pale skin, and a powerful yet protective feel about her. She was wearing all-black clothes like her husband, with kama's strapped to her back and knives sheathed on her thighs.
While Nick was holding the bundle, he could feel the stares the males of the guild were giving his wife, and he could feel himself getting more ticked off by the minute.
"If you don't mind me asking" Makarov said, "What's in that bundle of rags?"
"Oh, that's our daughter, Arya" Nick said, pulling the hood from the bundle, revealing a sleeping baby.
All the girls in the guild immediately crowded around him, trying to hold the girl.
"Hey, hey, hey, leave my daughter alone" Natasha shouted, trying to force her way through the crowd.
Suddenly, Nick vanished from their eyes, only to reappear on the other side of the guild hall. Holding Arya close to his chest as the child started to squirm.
"WAAH!" The cries of the child made everyone in the guild cringe in pain.
"Great, now she's awake" Nick scolded as he tried to calm the girl, "Good going guys".
"Wait, you said she was your daughter" Makarov said, "How does that work?".
"Well, to understand that you have to know how I met Natasha, but that's a story for a later time" He said, passing Arya to his wife, "For now however, I wanna take a job"
"We were just about to leave on a job before you arrived, you're welcome to join us if you wish" Erza said as she walked over with the rest of her team.
"Sure, why not?"
"Welcome to Team… Natsu, Nick" Natsu said as he clapped him on the back.
"Team Natsu? Why Team Natsu?" He said, looking to the side at the pinkette.
"Because I'm awesome" Natsu shouted, "You got a problem with it?"
"No, no, it just sounds a little conceited is all"
Natsu's face was one of complete confusion, while everyone else was holding in laughter.
"Never mind Natsu, it's clear you don't understand big words" Nick said with a smirk on his face.
"Let's go on a job, right now!" Lucy said, hoping to save Natsu from the embarrassing moment that was sure to come.

"You know, I'm starting to get kinda bored with this job" Nick said, everyone nodding their heads in agreement.
The job they had taken was quite simple, escort and protect a lord from another country on his way to the capital, Crocus. So far, they had come across a few wolves and some wild Vulcans. They were so weak not even Lucy had to use magic.
When Nick had pointed this out, Lucy had tried to kick him in the face with her boot, he dodged every time.
"Look, you're not weak, you're far from it" He explained, "It's just that everyone here is more experienced and has had more time to practice and train their magic, you're just a beginner and your level of control and the level of your magic is nowhere close to theirs".
As he said this, Lucy's eyes drew closer to the ground and she started to nervously shift from foot to foot.
"I'm sorry, it's just… I want to be strong like the others and I want to prove myself" She said meekly.
"Don't be, I just wanted to explain why you're the one in most danger on jobs like this" He said, reaching up to put his hand on her shoulder, "Right, we should catch up with the convoy, we stayed behind a bit too long".

"Well, that was anti-climactic" Nick said as the group made their way from the capital. They had finished the job without losing any money to pay for damages. They had all decided against the train because, if they can walk the whole way there, they can surely walk the whole way back as well.
"I know what you mean Nick, despite the job being quite rewarding, it was rather dull" Erza said, agreeing with the scarred Dragon Slayer.
They continued in silence for a few minutes, when Nick suddenly stopped, Lucy walking into his back.
"Oww, Nick, why did you stop like that?" She asked as she rubbed her sore nose.
"Natsu" Nick said with a growl, "Can you smell them too?"
"Yeah, smells like fifty of them and-" Natsu began.
"And all of them wizards" Nick finished.
As he said this, about fifty wizards appeared out of the trees. Some had weapons, and others had nothing on them, obviously confident in their magical abilities.
"And just who might be attacking us at this moment?" Nick asked as he too, moved forward.
"We are the Dark Guild, Light's Bane, give us all your Jewels and we'll end your lives quickly" One of the leaders said as he walked forward, hand tightening over the handle of his large scythe.
"And you are?"
"I am the Master of this little Guild, the name is Jeremiah Preston, but you might have heard of my title, the Reaper of Souls" He said as he held his arms out, as if seeing himself as some kind of god.
"And I am Nick Stryker, wizard of Fairy Tail" he said as he drew his sword from its sheath, eyes hidden behind his hair, "And the worst person for you to attack"
As he growled the last part, he forced his magic outwards and upwards, creating a column of pure destructive magic. After it had reached a height of twenty metres, it spread out, creating a creature thought to be extinct long ago.
"I-It's a dragon" Erza stuttered, her and everyone else paralysed with fear at the terrifying beast before them.
"COME ON LIGHT'S BANE, SUMMON UP YOUR DEMONS, FIGHT ME, HIT ME" Nick roared as his eyes seemed to glow red, and his jacket flapping in the wind caused by the massive force of power.
"YOU SAY THAT YOU TAKE THE SOULS OF OTHERS? YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN DESTROY THE LIGHT? YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU ARE WEAK, YOU CAN'T EVEN STAND IN MY PRESENCE, YOU TRY TO FACE ME AND YOU'LL PERISH, TRY TO KILL ME AND YOU'LL BE ERASED FROM EXISTENCE, LEAVE ME, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, YOU EVEN AREN'T WORTHY OF MY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT".
With that, the dragon that Nick had created out of his magic roared at the terrified wizards that had so foolishly attacked them. Trees were ripped up and the earth shook with the sheer power of the roar.
A few of the wizards were blown away as the rest either fainted, or cowered in fear of the monster before them. Jeremiah took a few steps back, sweat dripping down his pale face.
He dropped his scythe and ran away from the group, the ones that could move following him in his escape.
Nick then made the ethereal dragon disperse from the air, nothing but a feeling of immense power and the destruction it caused was left.
He then walked forward and picked up the scythe Jeremiah had left behind, sending it to his requip space.
"So, we should get going now, I fear the Magic Council may have picked up my power" He said walking back to the group.
As everyone snapped out of their shock, only the Titania was left unresponsive, still shaken up by the power she had seen.
"Erza, come on, I'll explain everything back at the Guild" Nick said as he put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, a hand she didn't respond to.
"Alright, seeing as Erza is basically comatose, I'll have to teleport us there, everyone get in a circle around me, make sure to include Erza" Nick stated as he sat down and entered the lotus position.
They did as they were told and got into a circle, making sure they had Erza in their ranks.
"Good, now hold hands so we're all together when we land"
After they were linked by their hands, an energy began to coat Nick, quickly spreading to the rest of the group.
It slowly built up pressure until finally, it released. Exploding upwards as the world around them disappeared into blurs.
The next thing they all knew, they were in the Guildhall, surrounded by the shocked faces of the Guild members.
Nick rose from the ground and walked to Erza, wrapping an arm around her shoulder when he reached her.
"I'm taking Erza to the infirmary, she's a little shaken up by what happened on our job" He said as he started leading her to the back of the Guild.
Summary:
What if there was another dragon slayer in Fairy Tail, but everyone forgot about him? What if that dragon slayer was raised by Acnologia? What if he left by himself, but came back with two more? That dragon slayer has a name but no one knows it, all they know is his title: The Apocalypse Swordsman.
