S.R.: Sorry I haven't updated in a while folks my internet was down and because my stupid laptop's Microsoft Word has to be connected to the internet to download the "required features" for pretty much everything I use it for I couldn't even do any work. But hey it's fixed and now I'm really fired up with ideas. So sit back relax and read to your heart's content (well not really till then. More like until this chapters done but I'm promising it'll be good).
Natsu: About damn time. I was wondering if you were ever gonna continue. Of course now that Erza and I are married we get to fuck more right?
Erza: Natsu…. *punch's Natsu* Even if we are married it doesn't mean we have, can, or will fuck more so shut up and leave the man be.
S.R: Why thank you Erza….. Now if you two will go back into the story so I can continue my story telling I shall continue. WARNING: There will be point of view jumping. But first mindless story just so that I can fill in minor details from my imagination, and make it longer than it would be otherwise. If you're confused about the OC characters from the other guilds they will be explained in the after words.
TWO WEEKS AFTER THE WEDDING
NATSU'S POV
"Damn these dragons are tough!" Yelled Gray as he stormed into the building we had commandeered as headquarters after meeting Jason, Grant, Sam, Alexia, and Heather from Blue Pegasus. Shortly after taking over the building we met Quatro Cerberus members Tidus, Rinoa, Len, Sano, and Corey. "Well no shit Ice freak." Gajeel commented before I could open my mouth. I high fived him as Gray dropped into a chair tired from his scouting. "It's impossible to create a strategy that involves magic when we don't know what magic they've got to counter with." He sighed. Erza gave him a death glare from her seat on my lap. "Well I say fuck it let's do a test attack. See what kind of attack power they have and if we can get them to use their magic. After let's say half an hour we retreat to form a strategy." Piped up Grant. The rough earth mage was looking pissed off. Part of me agreed with him and was angry. We all were. Two weeks studying these mother fuckers trying to come up with a strategy that would beat them without losing one of us. No fighting at all. "To hell with it I'm with Grant." Gajeel commented. Erza stood up from my lap.
Erza had immediately taken control of this operation. "So let's take a vote. Who's for Grants idea?" My hand, Laxus's, Gajeel's, Gildart's, Mystogan's, Grant's, Tidus's, Len's, Alexia's, Heather's, and Corey's hands all went up. "Well then…. Natsu, Grant, Gajeel, Gray, Tidus, Len. You six will go and engage the dragons JUST to get an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. Half an hour is all you get. After that If you don't pull you're asses out of there I will punish you all so bad you will fear everything around you. Got it?!" She said and in reply we all simultaneously answered "Aye Sir!" Erza then told Wendy to cast her best defensive magic on us, which she did and off we went.
AN HOUR LATER
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" Gray called as he was sent flying in my direction. I caught him and set him up right again "Nice catch." He said before launching himself at the closest dragon and casting his Ice Make: Lance at its face. Whichever dragon it was just snorted and the lance stopped and shattered. But thanks to Gray's distraction I was already up in the air above the dragons head preparing one hell of a hit for it. I sped towards its head and when I was sure there was no way I could miss I attacked. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" I called as my fist connected with the dragons head. The force of the blow knocked me back and away from the dragon. I had wounded it but from the look on the dragons face it was just a scratch. I noticed Gajeel heading our way signaling that it was time to pull out. I nodded in confirmation grabbed Gray and used my fire to speed up my run to catch up with Gajeel and the others. We ran hard and fast to get away from the dragons and get back to base before Erza would kill us.
Finally we got back. I all but threw Gray off me and collapsed into my seat. "Man that run was a work out." I groaned. Gajeel who was panting just nodded his head in agreement. Gray just laughed at us. Erza however kissed my head and whispered to me "It looks like it. Just relax and maybe I'll give you a surprise later." After we quit panting we told Erza about our fights. Gajeel explained how Acnologia used its magic against him and Len. He said its magic uses and controls shadows. Laxus said Motherglare uses the pores on its body to produce magic eggs. Grant said he didn't know what dragon he and Tidus fought but it's magic killed everything it touched so it must have been death magic. She asked Gray and I about our fight last. "I don't know which one it was Gray and I were dealing with but my fire dragon's iron fist was like a scratch to it even when I hit it on the head." I said. "Yeah and I used my ice make lance on it and it destroyed the iced just by snorting at it." Gray stated. Erza just nodded her head and then went quite. None of us said anything. We all knew she was thinking and planning. Finally after two hours Erza had come up with a plan.
"Alright here's the plan. Laxus, you'll take Gray, Len, Sano, Grant, Heather, and attack Acnologia. Laxus use your lighting as a light source to prevent its use of shadows. Gajeel you'll take Tidus, Gildarts, Sam, and Jason you will use you're magic to create the sharpest weapons you can to deal deep cutting damage to the one Natsu and Gray were fighting, I think it was Zirconis. Mystogan you will take Corey, Lucy, Alexia, and Rinoa to fight Motherglare. Use you're magic to prevent it from creating the magic eggs while Lucy's spirits and Alexia's plant magic do the damage to it. I'll take Natsu and Wendy to fight the one that used death magic. If I'm right it is Nidhogg. But before we go Wendy will cast her most powerful protective spells on all of us. Laxus, Gajeel, Mystogan and I will be wearing headsets to communicate. If someone on your team needs help call and I'll send Wendy to heal them. If she's not with me call the other leaders until you can have her sent to you. Now let's all get some rest so we have full energy and the whole day tomorrow." Erza said before spinning on her heels and walking into our room. We all said good night and went to bed….. Well not all of us.
Erza and I were up a bit longer while Erza massaged my back and asked me not to do anything rash. I swore to her I wouldn't and then we went to bed. The next morning Laxus, Gajeel, Wendy and I were the first ones up. We stretched and got ready for some tough battles and then made breakfast for everyone. The four of us knew that as the dragon slayers if Erza's plans failed we'd be the ones doing most if not all of the work. After we were all ready to go we left and started our dragon hunting. After only half an hour we had found the dragons again… It was all thanks to Laxus, Gajeel, Wendy and I. We split into our teams as Erza had ordered and the battle began. We separated and lead the dragons away from each other so that they wouldn't be able to help one another. "Wendy stay far enough back to be out-of-the-way but still close enough to hear me if I call you okay?" Erza said after we entered a huge clearing in a forest about 10 miles away from where we found the dragons originally.
MEANWHILE
LAXUS'S POV
"Alright I'm going to need a solid defense for this fight. I'm just going to light the place up. Gray, Grant, and Len you guys beat the hell out of this dragon. Sano and Heather you two defend me as much as possible…. Lightning Dragon's Brilliant Spark" I said and went into a physical meditation where I could keep it steady. I could still watch and hear everything around me though, but any movement other than my head and the meditation ends. Gray used his ice magic to make a sword and what slashing away at Acnologia, while Grant was creating earth pillars underneath the dragon trying to spear it. Len was using his summoning magic to create an army of Vulcans to fight as well. 'I think overall this is going quite well. Grant is keeping it too busy to counter attack while Gray and Len's army of Vulcan's are dealing significant damage. Keep this up and we'll have it beat in no time.' I thought to myself while Sano was complementing Erza for her well thought out plan of leading Acnologia into this cave and then blocking the exit so it would have no way to fly and attack from the air. Heather was using her wind magic to keep us up and away from the fight even though Sano had created a rune barrier around us with his magic. After a while Gray jumped away from Acnologia and said "It just needs one more good solid hit to finish it. I'm going to end it."
Gray stood there for a few minutes without doing anything. We could all see him building up his power for one massively strong attack. Then he started to move. It seemed as if he was using an ancient Ice mage spell. But it wasn't his normal Ice make style spell. He formed a circle with a snowflake fitting inside of it perfectly before standing in the center and calling out "Ice Summon: Blizzard of Absolute Zero". Then the air was filled with a blizzard so strong it blew us all out of the cave but for some reason the cold didn't affect us. I asked Gray about it and he said the cold only bothers those he sees as enemies. I walked back into the cave once we noticed the wind died down. Acnologia was frozen solid but it seemed the wind blew his jaw off, holes into his wings, and tore his scales off to the point it looked like a skinless demon that was cut up really bad. "Laxus to Erza. Acnologia is defeated. We're heading back to base."
MEANWHILE AGAIN
GAJEEL'S POV
"Alright guys let's keep this up!" I ordered. So far this dragon had been a push over. It couldn't use any magic against us other than its breath and we did a damn good job of preventing the use of it. Early on in the fight Gildarts used his crash magic to break Zirconis's jaw and then Jason grabbed his magic sword from his side pulled his shield off his back and started hacking away at Zirconiss legs. Meanwhile I was using my Iron Dragon's Club on the same spots again and again hoping to eventually break bones. Tidus was hoping around slinging boulders at Zirconis with his Titan magic enhancing his strength and Sam was standing back using his telekinesis to move bones inside the body to reveal weak points. "Everyone back up. It's time to finish this!" I called. I took my normal fighting stance up. Then taking a huge deep breathe I unleashed my Iron Dragon's Roar. With that Zirconis slumped forward as a bloody mess.
Just for good measure I had Tidus bury Zirconis under a ton of boulders. Leaving the Canyon we lead him to I radioed Erza with my report. "Erza its Gajeel. Zirconis is defeated and buried in the canyon you told us to lead it to. We're on our way back to base." I explained. Erza came back "Nice job. Acnologia and Zirconis are down. Head back to headquarters just like Laxus and his team did." I nodded at her orders before relaying them to my team and pulling out.
ONCE AGAIN I SAY MEANWHILE
MYSTOGAN'S POV
"Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song" I Cried out hoping to cause enough pain to make Motherglare unable to create the magic eggs. While my attack was working I radioed Erza "Erza its Mystogan. I need you to send Wendy immediately. Corey and Rinoa are in bad shape." Erza confirmed that she was sending Wendy to us and I relaxed a bit. 'Damn this. It's like Motherglare knew we were going to use their skills to prevent it from using the eggs. Now it's using its wings to fly around us and toy with us. We're giving it all we can to just land one hit on the damn beast. The only thing we have going right for Erza's plan is that we're in a nice open field.' I thought before casting a sleep spell on Motherglare. The spell partially worked. It made Motherglare too tired to fly.
Alexia instantly knew what to do. "Plant magic: Rampant Growth" she cried. Instantly huge vines grew out of the ground wrapping around Motherglares legs and then continuing around the body until just the head was visible. "I'm here now!" Wendy called bringing my attention to her, Corey, and Rinoa. She quickly healed them up and then came over to me asking "What are my orders now?" I thought a moment before radioing Erza. "Hey Erza its Mystogan. Wendy is done healing us. Where do you want her?" I asked. "Keep her with you guys. The others have taken out their dragons. Once you guys have defeated Motherglare head back to base." She ordered. I relayed Erza's words to Wendy and she was content with that. Turning back to the battle on hand I watched as Alexia strained to keep her rampant growth spell active. Lucy had summoned Taurus and had him attack Motherglares head dealing as much damage as possible with his axe. That is until Motherglare snorted at him sending him flying away and slamming into a rock hard enough to make him have to take his leave.
"Lucy have your next spirit be Sagittarius and have him blind the dragon." I called before casting another Sacred Song attack. After the effects of my attack faded Lucy had Sagittarius take aim and fire. He put three shots in each eye and then for good measure put one in the throat before dismissing himself. I then checked to see if Motherglare was defeated. "No doubt about it Motherglare is dead. Alexia anything you can do to get rid of the body?" I asked returning to the group. Alexia nodded before crying out "Plant Magic: Decomposition". Suddenly the vines around Motherglare moved and became a cocoon around its whole body before making it shrink albeit slowly. "Whatever that attack touches decomposes at about a 150th of the normal rate. So that dragon's body will be gone in a couple of years rather than a thousand years later. "Alright Erza ordered that we go back to base after beating Motherglare." I said. As we left I contacted Erza informing her that Motherglare was beaten.
MEANWHILE (ONE LAST TIME)
ERZA'S POV
"Natsu we've got to step up! The others have defeated the other dragons." I called to my Husband. "Would've had this bastard beat if it weren't for his death magic!" he cried. I knew this fight was going to take a while just because of the death magic. I was just about to launch an attack with my Heavens Wheel armor when someone's hand appeared on my shoulder. Then suddenly I was somewhere else. I couldn't move though. "Sorry for binding you my dear but I can't have you killing me until after I explain what just happened. Though I'd prefer if you didn't kill me then either." I heard from behind me. 'It's definitely a man. That voice is way too deep for a woman.' I hoped. Then he came into sight. My eyes went wide. This man looked so familiar but I couldn't figure out were from. "Firstly. You were fighting the Nidhogg. It is the most powerful dragon outside the Dragon gods. You have no way of harming it. You're partner however can. Especially now. When I teleported you here I made it look like Nidhogg got you with its magic. That should send him into a rage.
"With that man in a rage His magic will grow to the point of negating the death magic and he will completely destroy Nidhogg because it's the only way to beat that monster." He said to me. "How do you know all this? And why in the world are you so familiar?" I questioned. He laughed at me before explaining "I've studied this dragon excessively for most of my life. And to answer your second question it's because we're family. I am your father. I know you probably hate me for abandoning you but it's not true. I was actually killed protecting you just like your mother. But recently some powerful mage gave me life and telling me "You must make things right with your daughter and pass on your family's greatest legacy." "I don't believe you." I replied. "We knew you wouldn't. So now I am going to show you what happened…. Vision of Memories" he commented.
Suddenly I could see when I was kidnapped. I saw both him and the woman that was my mother fall dead. Then I saw his grave being visited by a mage. The mage called out "Guidance of Gods" and my father appeared beside him. "You don't need to know who I am. Nor do you need to know what I did. You just need to know that I brought you back to life to make amends with your daughter and pass on your family's legacy." The mage said to him. Now we're back in the present. "Believe me now?" he asked. "Almost. I've done research about my family and I know what the legacy is. So if you're supposed to pass it on and make me believe you I want you to tell me what the legacy is." I stated. He said it's an ancient form of magic. I nodded for him to continue. "This ancient form of magic is known as the demigod." He told me. "I believe you know. I also want you to know I never hated you and mom. I was just sad. That is the only emotion I felt." I said.
He smiled at me and then pressed his palms together generating a ball of magic and then pushed it into me. "There now my daughter you have the magic in you." He said. "Thank you father. And just so you know that man I was working with is my husband." I explained. He just nodded as he said "From the way you two looked at each other and the immense power I feel from him with his anger I could tell that you and him are in love. Now let's watch what he does to Nidhogg shall we?" Father said before he released his binding spell and we turned to a Lacrima-Vision. Natsu was on a rampage against Nidhogg. "You Bastard… You killed my wife and mate…. I will destroy you!" Natsu roared. He unleashed his dragon force mode and moved into the stance for his Hidden Fire Form - Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade. "Young human with the skills to kill a dragon I ask of you why fight dragons? Why fight us when you could join us and rule this world?" Nidhogg asked just before Natsu launched the attack.
After hitting Nidhogg he flipped back and came up with his Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning Blade. He continued on his brutal assault with all of the attacks he could. Finally after almost draining his magic completely he had Nidhogg beaten. Nidhogg was wounded so badly it would only take a physical attack without magic to kill Nidhogg. "Nidhogg I fight dragons that destroy the world. If a dragon chooses to be peaceful and avoid humans I leave it alone. I fight for this world to stay the way it is. I kinda like having my freedom so why rule it when I'd be trapped and responsible for everything. That's why I started this fight… But now because you killed my wife I will destroy you." Natsu declared.
He then held his hand out and his ring transformed into the sword it was when Erza gave it to him at their wedding. With it in his hand he dealt the killing blow by severing Nidhogg head from its body. "Your husband is remarkably powerful. But now so are you. You two will do well together. Now I only have enough power left in me to take you back. After that I disappear and die." My father told me after we moved away from the Lacrima. "I'm sorry it had to be this way dad. But before you do anything what is your name?" I said. "Me to darling. Me to. And My name is Zeus." He replied before sending me back. I was lying on the ground with an image floating above me that looking like a fatally injured me. Natsu was moving towards me with everything he had speed wise. He got to my side and cried. I decided to play the part of dying. "Natsu…." I croaked. He realized I wasn't dead yet and it gave him an idea apparently. "Fairy Glitter" he said and the spell healed both of us while destroying the remains of the Nidhogg. Once the spell activated the image of an injured me disappeared. Natsu and I hugged. We clung to each other for an eternity. "Let's head back to base now Natsu. Wouldn't do to have them waiting too long." I said. We stood up and went back to base.
It's going on 8 hours straight of typing. I'm done fuck going on. I'm too damn tired. But before I pass out let me give you the down low on the OC characters from the other guilds.
from Blue Pegasus:
Jason - Holder magic user. His sword he uses is imbued with magic to be unblockable, forever sharp, and lighter than a feather.
Grant - Earth mage. What more can I say?
Sam - Telekinesis. Is more info required?
Alexia - Plant magic. She makes plants grow rapidly or gain the ability to move freely and attack.
Heather - Wind magic. Like Errigor.
from Quatro Cerberus:
Tidus - Titan magic. not learned from master Makarov.
Rinoa - Force magic. Supposedly she uses invisible forces to push, pull, bind or any other need.
Len - Summoning magic. Kinda like Lucy's but instead of having an item you have to have seen whatever it is you're summoning.
Sano - Rune magic. Just like Fried.
Corey - Water magic. Like Juvia, but unlike Juvia she has to have a water source near by. So she carries a sealed jar full of water.
And yes I did put a bit of myth into the story. Erza's father is Zeus. Name stolen from the Greek leader of the gods. and her new magic is known as the demigod another reference to myths. More about Erza's newfound power in the next chapter. read, review, and always eat your veggies... or something like that.
