"I can't believe that little nit wit somehow knocked me out." Mirajane said still rubbing the back of her head.
"Shows how pitiful you are Goth girl," Erza laughed.
"What did you say tomato head?!"
"Oh nothing you storm cloud!"
As the two began to fight, Lisanna and Elfman just shook their heads.
"Will these two ever grow up?" Lisanna asked.
"Probably not," Elfman said gloomily.
Many of the other members were watching the two fight, laughing and betting on who would win this time. The fight was interrupted when Makarov came walking down the stairs with Zero following close behind.
"Macao, where is the symbol stamp at?" Makarov asked.
"It's behind the counter, why do you ask?"
Makarov smiled, "Because we have a new member, and our very first dragon slayer!"
Everyone look over towards the master in shock at the mention of dragon slayer.
Why did he have to call me that? Zero thought. Technically I am, but it's not best to announce it.
"Master, why would you let this guy join?" Erza asked walking up to the bar. "He comes in and demands to know where you are and then knocks Mirajane out just to get answers. He seems very dangerous."
Makarov eyed her for a moment, "I know Erza, but his upbringing is what caused that. Maybe you should ask him about it to try to get to know him better."
Erza sighed as she walked away from the master. It was obvious that his carefree attitude was at work with this child. She needed to know more about him, his personality seemed way too mysterious for her liking.
"Now then Zero," Makarov continued, "Where do you want your guild mark?"
Zero thought for a moment, before pointing to the right side of his neck. Makarov placed the mark as Zero asked, and the mark was black matching his hair.
"Now, we must test Zero and his magic abilities, where is Laxus?"
"What is it old man?" a young asked walking down the stairs. He was about Zero's height, with blonde hair and a lightning bolt scar on his face.
"I want you to test this new recruit here, his name is Zero." Makarov said smiling.
Laxus looking him over, taking in his already well defined muscles and strong magic pressure. But it didn't feel like normal magic, that's when Laxus noticed the tail coming from Zero's tailbone.
"Gramps, you can't be serious, why would you let someone of his race in our guild?" Laxus asked.
The guild started murmuring to each other at the words that Laxus had spoken since none of them knew anything about Zero except for the master. Makarov frowned at the words that Laxus had said, seeing as he was trying to disguise the fact of Zero being a Saiyan until the time was right.
"Laxus, if he isn't worthy then prove that he is not strong enough." Makarov stated.
Laxus smiled at the fact that he was going to get to fight someone of a warrior race.
"With pleasure," he said while smirking and taking off his coat.
The other members followed the two mages out to an empty field near the guild hall. Zero and Laxus eyed each other as the readied themselves for combat.
"Ready, Fight!" Makarov shouted.
"Lightning Body" Laxus chanted as he began charging at Zero. Zero stood firm as Laxus began to throw punches at the young Saiyan. Zero moved gracefully, dodging every single punch, but not counterattacking. The guild members watched wide-eyed as Laxus' punches were not connecting at all.
"His speed is incredible," Macao stated in shock.
Even Makarov was a little surprised, this boy dodged Laxus as if he was standing still.
I can't seem to land a single punch, who is this guy? Laxus thought still trying to land a hit on the young Saiyan before him.
If one of these punches hits me, I could be in trouble, Zero thought still dodging. I need to get some space between us so I can use my ki attacks.
Zero managed to grab one of Laxus' arms and pulled him towards him, giving him a quick jab to the chest to create enough space for his next attack.
"Saiyan Art: Ki Barrage"
Zero put up both hands and began firing small bursts of energy at Laxus. As Laxus began to dodge, the blasts connected with the ground forming small craters everywhere. Laxus knew he couldn't dodge them forever, and this guy seemed to have unlimited energy. He turned to notice that Zero was charging something else in his hands.
"Saiyan Art: Masenko"
Zero held out one hand and an enormous blast came from his hand. The blast connected with Laxus slamming him into the ground creating a large crater. Zero landed near it breathing somewhat heavy, because he had not practiced that move much. He looked down to see Laxus standing back up.
"You are strong," Zero said between breaths, "Your perseverance is admirable, you have the strength of any dragon slayer."
Laxus looked up at the Saiyan before him, he didn't know why but this fight excited him. He hadn't encountered any opponent before as strong as this guy was. But that aside, he had to prove his superiority, and win this fight. He began to charge his lightning and cover his body with electric charges.
"You are good Zero, but I am better. Prepare for your loss."
Laxus let out a few grunts until his eyes turned white and he erupted in a massive ball of lightning. "This is my full lightning body, I may not be able to handle this for long, but it should be enough."
Zero grimaced as he looked on at Laxus new body. I can't fight him like this, I must go to the next level. I hope my body can take it.
Zero hunched down and began to grunt, "Saiyan Art: Super Saiyan Transformation"
Sparks began to flicker around Zero, and the ground began to shake. His hair began to stand on its end as he charged even more energy. The other guild members took cover behind some rocks nearby as they were amazed at the display of power. Zero began to grunt even more as Laxus could feel his power rising even more.
This amount of energy is insane I can feel it becoming stronger then my own, Laxus thought.
Zero erupted in a ball of light as his transformation ended, his hair now golden and standing on its end, his eyes lime green, and his muscles more defined.
"This is my form of been working on. Like you, I can't maintain it for long, but it should be enough. Come Laxus should we end this?"
Laxus smirked, "Yes, let us see who is the strongest in Fairy Tail."
The guild members were still in fear at the display of power before them. Mirajane and Erza were standing next to each other with their mouths open, now in shame at how they had bad mouthed the Saiyan dragon slayer.
"Remind me not to pick a fight with that guy." Mirajane said.
"Agreed," Erza replied still watching the sight before them.
Laxus was the first to charge and start swinging punches. Zero was managing to block them but he could feel the strain this form was putting on his body. If he was older he might be able to maintain it, but he was still young and he couldn't stand the strain for long. He noticed that Laxus was also having similar troubles, because of how he could see the pained face he had. Laxus continued his attack, Zero still blocking them before going on the counter attack. Connecting a couple of punches to Laxus chest, and then kicking him back a few feet. Laxus advanced forward again, and managed to punch past Zero's guard and land a few punches to his stomach. Zero took a few paces back in pain, but knew he had to end it soon.
"All right Laxus, I'll end this now."
Zero cocked his hands behind him, "Saiyan Art: Kamehameha Wave"
Laxus knew this attack would hurt and had to counter attack quickly.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar"
The two blasts connected with each other and made a massive explosion. Everyone hid their faces from the blast waiting on it to settle. The clouds of dust began to dissipate, as the members of fairy tail made their way to see who had won. The sight before them was astounding. Both fighters were down, exhausted from their battle. Zero was the first that began to stand, his body covered in cuts and bruises. He slowly made his way to Laxus who was still on the ground panting from the fight before.
"Good fight that was only the second time I've had to use that form on an opponent."
Laxus laughed, "I was not expecting to have to use my lightning form, you have my respect."
Zero picked up Laxus on his shoulder, as Makarov and the rest of the guild made their way over to the two fighters.
"Zero, you have displayed power beyond anything I imagined, welcome to Fairy Tail. Now let's go back and party!" Makarov said with glee.
The other members shouted in agreement as everyone began the walk back to the guild hall.
