The Tale of the Future
Chapter 2:New Recruit
Natsu's POV
The fire was crackling on my palms until the boy screamed, almost in desperation:" Stay away!I'll rip your lungs out!" All of a sudden a mist surrounded him, seemingly the colour of blood. From the sky fell rain and lightning, the Earth rose up in small blocks as I felt a change in the ethernano particles wasn't me. Like a wild animal, the boy leaped on me; I caught a glimpse of his facial features: blond hair, strikingly blue eyes and an innocent face which had, by now, changed to that of an angry eyes faded to a dark turquoise as he pounded my chest, launching me back."Man, that was hard." I think to myself. As I slowly get up, I see the boy's muscles relax and contract at the same time. His face contorts with pain as he collapses. Before anyone could react, I run up to him, to drag him inside. As I go to pick him up I realise something impossible, his peaceful face is just like that of Mavis. Slowly, even Lucy's face shows a sign of recognition and confusion, followed by everyone else's. Gray rushes to help me, for once, and we lift him to the beds in the guild building.
After sometime had passed Erza,Lucy,Wendy,Gray,Happy and I gathered in the room next to the beds. Lucy broke the silence of thought" How can that boy look just like the first master?"
"Because they're related somehow, of course!" I say, my mind becoming jumbled up after the first word. That's when I realise my mistake. Mavis was born X673, whilst here we are in X794, one hundred and twenty years mind then shifted to my brother, Zeref, living for more than four hundred years as a result of a destructive curse... More importantly what was all that magic. It was coming of him like him breathing out air. With my great sense of smell, I could feel that the boy was waking up - the dust was flying everywhere. I leave the room that I was already in and charge into the other. As he wakes up, he holds a quizzical expression, as if forgetting what had happened. Eventually his eyes widen with realisation. Starting to panic, he attempts to leave the bed before groaning in pain. Erza came in with thunderous foootsteps, and she was in her most deadliest looking armour: Purgatory Armour. Almost instantly, I backed away pitying the boy. Come to think of it, I never did know his name.
? POV
I wake up to seeing a pink-haired boy in front of me, his features blurred. As my eyes refocus to the current light, I recognise the boy. Natsu Dragneel, Salamander, a dragon slayer of Fairy Tail. I feel magic being used in the room next to the current one then heavy footsteps. A redhead busts through the already broken door, wearing extremely menacing armour and brandishing a spiked club. Immediately, Natsu backed away as the female approached, giving her a dominant status. As she neared, she planted the club firmly into the wooden floor by the bed, glowering at me." WHO ARE YOU!"she yells. The question almost makes me laugh with irony. I didn't know myself, so I stated exactly that."WHAT RELATION DO YOU HAVE WITH MAVIS!"she yells again. A wave of sadness washes over me, and it seemed to have been evident on my face. They say that one's eyes are a window to their soul, so I stare right at the redhead's eyes. This was Erza, I found, and I slightly trembled in fear. She liked strawberry cake. That information was enough for me; I went on to conjure a strawberry cake on polished plate and presented it to her. Immediately, the spiked, black armour changed instantly into normal armour, with the Fairy Tail insignia on right. The S-class mage's face changed from a intimidating terror to an innocent smile as she munched on the slice of sweetness.
"I don't know," I say bleakly. Upon saying this, the two mages hold a look of intrigue as I continue to say that I also did not have a name. Slowly, the intrigue faded away and became a trail of deep thought. Natsu then spoke up with a triumphant voice as he shouts "Jack" whilst Erza quietly mutters "Blade...One side of him is kind and mysterious, the other a dangerous individual."
"Wow, Erza, you're smart. And I can't believe that you would give 'Blade' as his name."says Natsu. After finishing his sentence, a few other people I slightly knew came in: Gray the stripper, Lucy the pervert, Wendy the Sky dragon slayer and Happy the lovable yet annoying cat."Erza, I thought you were interrogating him?"one of them asks. Erza then pointed at me, then her cake with her spoon before continuing to munch on. Happy flew around before snatching the cake and sniffing it before saying,"It's definitely poisoned." I was surprised at this since I was extremely sure that my emotions of fear wouldn't poison the cake."Just kidding! You should have looked at your faces."Happy saying this had saved me from death in the cruellest way possible.
"I heard Natsu complimenting Erza for making a name, whoever you are,What 's the deal?"Lucy asks
"Well, apparently the two wanted to give me a name since I didn't have one."I replied,"so Erza gave me the name 'Blade'. I actually like it."
"Blade?" Gray says in a questioning manner.I think for a while before Erza starts to say anything."Well, Erza described me like a I am a one I want to become a tool for Fairy Tail." I say. A grin escapes me and I hope it doesn't look too suspicious.
"In that case, welcome aboard to an extremely bumpy ride with a car missing two wheels."Gray responds.
