Battle Royal
The final challenge of the Grand Magic Games commences, while the other team goes and saves Lucy from prison. The reason why I added Draco to them is that he needs battle experience, and he's not one to be underestimated. Now enough talk, time for the story.
"The time has come everyone, be on guard, and listen to the first." the others nod. Team Fairy Tail was in their tunnel and were about to walk out into the arena for the final time. "Let's move out." They walk through to see that all the other teams were already there and prepared to fight with all they have. Draex gave a small smirk, everyone noticed that his appearance had changed somewhat. His sleeveless long coat turned into a longed sleeved on with his guild's insignia on the back, and that he cut his hair, it was now very spiky(more so than Laxus') and that he had a lone bang nearly covering his right eye. Minerva looked at him with the intent to kill, while others were devising a way to take him out.
"Good morning Everyone, Now that Fairy Tail has made their entrance with their back up member Juvia Lockser in place for Natsu Dragneel," Lyon looked shocked at this, while Sherria had an annoyed expression on her face, "Now the finale event is a battle that will be taken place all over the city, with all competitors on each team participating!" the next thing all the teams knew is that they were suddenly teleported to a random location. Team Fairy Tail stood right where they were, while the other teams made their way throughout the city. The objective of the challenge was simple, every time you take out an opponent you earn a point, but if you take out the team's leader you earn five, Master Mavis laid out the plans to the team, in order for them to win the fight without losing a single person. Draex was, obviously, the leader, though that's what everyone expected, but he wasn't going down easy. Mavis tasked him with taking down both DragonHeart(which made him cheer on the inside) and Phoenix Fire(which dropped that happy feeling deep down to the darkest trench of the ocean), but this was all or nothing game, he had to put his love for his girlfriends on hold, but at least go easy on them. He was currently jumping from rooftop to rooftop, heading towards the location he was told to go to.
'Draex,' First Master telepathically tells him, 'two from Phoenix fire are right beneath you.' He lands on the next roof to see-just as the first said-Ryan and Rosalia walking together, time to earn his team some points, in the distance he sees an ice tower rise out of the ground. 'Gray,' he thinks with a small smile, already were they getting this far. He hops down in front of the couple.
"Why hello there you two," said two mages paled and took a step back at their advisory. Ryan prepared his sword, but only to get kicked in the face by the young mage. Rosalia prepared her spell as a glowing magic circle appeared above her hand, but only to get blasted head on by a torrent of fire, sending her flying into the building behind her, lying in the rubble unconscious. Ryan at untold speed went to hack Draex, who in turn leaned back to narrowly avoid the sheathed katana, and landed a kick on his gut. Ryan was knocked back a few yards, and when he looked up to his opponent he was met with a fiery uppercut to the jaw. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Ryan went up high into the air, and a few minutes later fell back down besides his girlfriend. "That takes care of that then." his ears perked up at a sudden movement behind him. He jumps in the nick of time to avoid a soaring glowing green arrow. While up in the air he sees Fran and Athena behind him, with Athena holding a regular bow and formed the same green arrow in her hand.
"Hey babe, nothing personal-" she starts.
"-but we're in it to win it," finishes Fran. Athena fires her emerald arrow, which Draex did not intend on dodging. Instead he shocked the two by catching the arrow that when it was an inch from his face.
"Thanks for the food girls." he opened wide and took a bite out of the emerald, shocking those back at the arena.
"How did his teeth survive eating that!?" shouts Evergreen.
"My guess is that his Dragon Slaying magic grants him very durable abilities," answers Freed. Back in the town, the girls took a step back, how were they going to combat their boyfriend if he can eat their attacks.
"Do you two want to forfeit, or am I going to have to fight you both?" there eyes narrowed as a small smile graced the two girls' face.
"We aren't going down with a fight Draex." they told him in unison. He smirked.
"Good, cause don't think that since I'm your boyfriend that I'm going easy on both of you."
"Good, we were hoping so." the two charged, Fran with light covered fist, and Athena with a sapphire spear. Draex stood right where he was, and grinned, he was going to toy with the two and have a little bit of fun. Right as the girls were on him, he vanished. The two eyes widened, they turned to be both met with a grinning boy.
"Gem Dragon's Prismatic Flash!" his eyes glowed a blinding rainbow light as the two girls shielded their eyes. While they were regaining their vision, he took his chance once again. "White Dragon's Claw!" he slashed his hand against the two, sending them back a couple of yards, both with a large slash mark across their clothes. "Come on girls, give me your best shot!" the two looked at each other then nodded. They held a hand with each other as a swirling light surround the conjoined set of hands as they held it high in the air. Draex's eyes widened. 'A unison Raid!? How is it possible, they've only known each other for a few day?' little did he know that the two girls in front of him had a lot of time to know one another and became best friends, and it also helped that they were sharing the same love interest/boyfriend.
"It looks like Fran and Athena are attempting a unison raid," comments Chapatti.
"Yes, and you can practically feel the magic energy from here, the attack is bound to be powerful," added Yajima.
The light grew around the two as in gave an ethereal crystalline sphere around them. They put the their held hand in front of them towards Draex as the energy converged into a single diamond suspended in the air in front of the girl's conjoined hand. "Unison Raid: Heart Diamond!" the diamond burst as the area around Draex was engulfed in light as the carbon in the air pressurized around him. In an instant a giant, slanted, rainbow diamond pillar shot out of the ground, and encased in it was Draex, who had a smile on his face. The two girls slumped down, it was over, they defeated their boyfriend. But something was off, it was easy, way too easy. Suddenly, the pillar started to crack as a golden aura surrounded Draex inside the diamond, causing the girls' eyes to widen in shock.
"Impossible," shouts Fran. They put nearly everything in that attack. The diamond cracked more and more till it ultimately shattered into a million dazzling pieces. Draex looked at the two from atop the remains of the pillar with a satisfied smile.
"Amazing work you two, that diamond hit the spot by the way, the perfect blend of light and stone, but now...it's time I finish this, sorry." his magic pressure grew drastically, he was going to just knock the two out, he was going to do the same to the last Phoenix Fire mages, but the reason why he was rising his magic is because of the DragonHeart mages nearby he feels. In the distance a Golden tower of magic power shoots into the air from a distance, either it was Damian or minerva who casted Yagdo Rigora...most likely the latter because he just felt his brother's presence approach.
Earlier with Erza, she was approaching the place where first Master told her where Minerva was, and wondered why the spacial mage was here instead of hunting down Draex. Suddenly Kagura appeared out of the blue and the two went into sword fighting mode, causing dust and sparks to fly in their wake. Soon the two come to a stalemate giving one another a hard glare. This went on for a few minutes, till a ripple in space appears, two arms come out of it and grabs hold of the two sword fighting mages, and throws them back a distance, and Minerva appears out of it.
"Well well, looks like I found a Fairy and a Mermaid, though I did want to take out a dragon that'll have to wait." she says with a malicious smile. "Sabertooth has become a laughing stalk because of a few guilds, Mermaid Heel, Fairy Tail, and a few others. Titania Erza, Kagura, let's see how you fair against a tiger." Kagura had enough.
"Enough talk." The three flare there magic violently as Erza, Kagura, and Minerva were surrounded by magic auras that were red, blue, and violet, respectively and the ground slightly shook and the rocks kind of floated upwards. They stopped flaring and everything was quiet, then a large lone rock smacks hard on the ground, and the three clashed, resulting in a large explosion to occur in their wake. The smoke cleared and they were off with them going back and forth, left and right, and heading down to ground level. Minerva trapped the two in spacial spheres and started to chant a spell.
"Niel Wielg Mion Terse Elcantaeus:" the magic pressure raised to dramatic heights as light surrounded the three, "Yagdo Regora!" the tower of golden energy shots to the sky, destroying all around them, leaving the audience and speakers shocked along with Juvia and Chelia. The other competitors, however, only looked on with neutral faces. Draex and the others looked at the spot where the golden tower came from. Definitely Minerva, he felt the magic signature from the last of the diamond pillar he was standing on, along with Erza's and Kagura's signatures. He looked down at his girls with narrowed eyes, he didn't want to do this, but in order to win for his guild he had to do this.
"Night girls, Lunar Dragon's Melody." a serene yet somewhat eerie melody plays in the air and the two girls fall to the ground, asleep. Draex smirked, who knew the the Lunar Dragon's were more for song's than attacking though. He feels the last two remaining members of team Phoenix Fire nearby, they were watching the ordeal too.
Close by, Josh and Serena were conversing about Draex in the alley way."How are we going to take someone like him out Sere!?"
"Shhh, keep your voice down, we don't want him to hear us. And I don't know Josh, but we have to hurry, I've heard that Dragon Slayers have weak stomachs, so maybe if we can lure him into a vehicle or a moving object we should have no problem taking him out." they smiled at the idea, it could work. Suddenly a new voice made itself known.
"But sadly you two aren't going to get that chance at all." they turn and looked in horror as the person they were talking about stepped out of the shadows, wearing a sweet smile on his face. "I'm just going to end this now you two."
Damian was walking close by looking for his brother, he wanted to fight him, but sadly, his such luck in the search. 'I wonder where he could be?' Suddenly, there was a sparkling grey explosion near by, which caught his attention. He races towards the explosion to see smoke rising from an alley way. Out from the smoke steps the one person he was looking for stepped out with a bored look on his face. Said mage turns to give Damian a side glance.
"Yo." Damian gave Draex a blank look, 'yo', is that all he has to say, "battle later, I have something else to finish first." before Damian could stop his brother, he was off to somewhere else. The Territory mage sighed sadly, he's only taken out a few people today, and he didn't get the chance to show Draex how strong he's gotten over the last year. Draex was once again hopping from roof to roof. His nose picked up a familiar scent as he decides to stop his roof traveling. He follows his nose for a short while, till he came over to a ledge leading over an dark alley. He uses his Shadow Dragon Slaying magic to blend into the shadows and descended to the ground to where team DragonHeart is. There all 6 members were talking about a plan.
"The plan is simple, kill the boy, take his powers, and become the most powerful people in Earthland," said Aaron. The others cackle at this plan, while Draex looked on in rage, "then we take over Earthland and kill those who defy us."
"What about your sister," asked Alex, Draex could hear something in his voice that meant that he cared for the younger mage. Aaron, however, scoffed.
"She can either rejoin us, or perish." Orion had a perverted look on his face.
"After I get my way with her." Alex and Kai took a step back from the lustful older mage. Draex snapped. His killing intent turned into a storm of black death as he emerged from the shadows, though his form altered. His hair was fully spiked up, his irises turned pure black, and black scales grew along his arms, body, and the sides of his face. His eyes only displayed cold retribution and untold rage at the group's plans, especially at Orion for trying to take Athena from him. Alex and Kai would be spared, due to how they looked when the plan was laid out, they wanted no part in this.
"You all have lost anything that the Dragon King never gave you, and it will never happen, Shadow Dragon's Void!" a dome of purple and black magic energy surrounded them and reached out in a large dome. As it dispersed the entire team was in a large crater and they were badly bruised and beaten from the attack, Kai and Alex looked as if the attacked missed them completely.
"You two have shown you care for my girlfriend and wanted no part in your guild's scheming, so I have a proposition for both of you." they raised an eyebrow.
"And that would be what exactly," asked Kai. He cared for his little sister, but his big brother had what was coming to him, he was happy for her to find love in the guy before him, but what proposition did the dragonslayer have for him and Alex.
"That you two leave DragonHeart, forfeit this match, and join Fairy Tail, along with my girls...except for Wendy of course." their eyes widened, was he really offering them this chance to be free. "Fairy Tail accepts those of any background, and knowing what you two planned on doing they'll accept you hands down." they smiled.
"We accept," says Alex, "and forfeit the match to you."
"Now good luck, Orion dodged your attack, but be warned, he's much more stronger than you realise," said Kai. Draex nod to the two as they leave the area, right as a certain someone made his appearance.
Orion, however, made it out in a water vortex, and was currently gaping at the destruction Draex caused, while said mage looked at him with rage. "So you want Athena to yourself than huh?" Orion regained his posture and readied for battle.
"She will be mine, all I have to do is kill you and prove it!" The man charged with a swirling black water coated fist. Draex put his hands up to block the attack, but it was only a diversion. "Water God's Bellow!" the torrent of black water engulfed Draex, and sadly for the Dragon Slayer, he couldn't absorb the water no matter how hard he tried. He jumped back and looked at his opponent, this would take longer than he thought.
'I hope Draco is having an easier time than I am.'
Draco was currently watching Lucy and Yukino battle Uosuke. He wanted to help Natsu, but he was told that he was too young, same went for Mira and Lily. He didn't bother asking Wendy, due to the same thing. He was sitting next to Carla and Happy, who were also watching the battle unfold. Lucy had just summoned Aquarius in the water and Happy was terrified of her for some reason, but the 7 year old couldn't see why though, how could a pretty mermaid be so frightening. His thoughts then travel to how they came into this mess in the first place. It was a simple get in and out mission, but the Princess interfered and set them to the lower levels of the City, where it is said that no one has ever escaped. The reason, the Garou Knights, other known as the royal executioners. The group was currently facing the five mages, who talked none stop about them having sin, and the boy found that it was very annoying. Lucy has just finished of the gravity mage and the water from his space manipulation disappeared and the group carried on. Draco wondered how the games were going, more importantly his brothers.
Draex was bruised, badly. The reason being that Orion got a good hit on him when he wasn't looking, now he just hoped it didn't become infected, and it would probably take a few days to heal fully. The other mage was worse for wear, he had a broken arm, bruises all around his face, and his clothes in complete tatters and the area around them could only be described as a war ground. Craters were lying everywhere as building were either up turned or destroyed. The God slayer was breathing heavily, while Draex was still standing tall and still full of energy.
"You little shit, that girl is mine and mine alone, now just die already!" Draex had enough of this guy's rambling, especially about Athena. This bastard wanted nothing more than her body, while Draex cared for who she was. Athena was very good looking, no doubt about that, but he loved the way she thought and her personality, it was like a shining light in the dark when he needed it. All his girl's had something he liked about them, Chelia had her happy go lucky attitude, Wendy was always kind and courteous to others, Fran was a shining light of happiness and was willing to put others before her, and-as he said before-Athena had the mind, always thinking on the fly and coming up with amazing ideas. He loved them all, and he be damned to lose any of them. A glittering clear aura surrounded him as his magic roses slowly...for the moment.
"You think you lousy god forsaken guild deserves everything, do yah?" Draex looked at him with gleaming diamond eyes as his magic spiked to immense heights in an instant, and the power could be felt all over the city. "Well reality check buddy, you do NOT!" his hair turned a colorless grey as crystal scales covered his armes and area around his right eye as his pupils turned to narrow slits.
In the arena, most people were disgusted with what DragonHeart was planning, but they were now in both aww and terror at the amounts magic Draex was releasing.
"This power, it's truly amazing," comments Chapatti.
"Yes, it's because of his love, I heard from old Maki that Wendy Marvell from Fairy Tail, Chelia Blendy from Lamia Scale, and Fran and Athena Satima from Phoenix Fire are all dating him all at once," replied Yajima, causing every man and teen girls in the audience to yell out in shock, "so hearing what that man said about one of them, this was bound to happen." at Fairy Tail's booth, most of the guild was looking at the man in rage.
"How dare he, taking another man's woman," says Evergreen, right now, she would have loved to turn the man to stone with her eyes. About every member of the guild wanted to rip him apart a few pieces.
Back in the city, Orion was looking at the boy in front of him with a smug look. This Dragon-slayer thinks he can take out a God-slayer like him, how pathetic. "Say goodbye kid, Water God's Bellow!" a larger torrent of black water than before emerged. Draex stood right where he was, if he was going to get his point through he would have to go defencive than offencive. The torrent engulfed him once again as this time it continued to go on for a long distance, ripping plants and houses out of the ground. The audience watched in shock at the devastation the attack caused, while the others, who were not defeated or were defeated in battle, watched in anticipation to the outcome. The area in front of Orion was blanketed in giant cloud of debris from his attack. He smirked, he won the match.
"Do you honestly think I'm going down that easily?" there was a large gleam a short distance from him. When the dust around mostly settled, waves of shock, awe, and confusion went all through out whoever was watching the event.
Standing in Draex's place was him, but looking totally different. His clothes were gone, but that didn't matter, his body, however, was the largest shock. It was glittering like a hundred stars, Giving off the sense of power and elegance. His body...turned to pure diamond. Orion looked in shock and rage. But before he could retaliate, a crystalline fist punches his jaw, shattering it, and sent him flying through 6 buildings, till hitting the wall of the next one, unconscious. Draex looked at his handy work with a small smile, though if he sees that man anywhere near his Lady he would face hell. There was a clapping sound close by, he turns to see Damian looking at him with a large smile on his face.
"Nice show bro, now it's time you face your toughest challenge yet," his smile turned fernal, "me." Draex chuckled at his brother's antics with his eyes closed.
"I don't doubt you there Damian, but be warned, I wasn't naive like I was back then," the Diamond on his body started to fade away, giving way to a new attire. He was wearing baggy pants being held up by a black belt, he wore an upper shin high combat boots, he wore a skin tight golden sleeveless shirt with an open V turtleneck on it that held tightly onto his neck, stopping at his upper neck. It had the same markings on it like he had whenever he transformed with a crown marking on the back of it. He opened his eyes, smiling fondly.
"Now," starts Damian, "what was the score we left off on, dear brother of mine?"
"99 to 99 Damian." they start walking towards one another, both cracking their hands.
"Now it'll be 100 to 99." they break out into a sprint.
"Not if I can help it." their fist collided, and everything around them crumbled and shattered.
The audience looked on in total abashment at the outcome of the brother's clash.
"My goodness, those two are monsters," said Makarov. First was looking wide eyed at the two boys, they were not normal by human, or even a mages standards. She felt their powers compressed, but now, if her hypothesis was correct, they would go all out, and the outcome would be devastating.
Back with the two, they were locked in a deadlock hold, both fists fighting for dominance. Draex was holding back to have some fun, while Damian was releasing more powers than he did during the games. Then it turned to chaos as their fists flew at one another at blazing speeds, but the other either blocked, parried, or they retaliated. The buildings around them crumbled under the shockwaves of their onslaughts. "Il Yagdo!" a spatial beam launches at Draex who in turn retaliated with his own spell.
"Celestial Dragon's Roar!" a beam of black, holding glitter stars in it, met the other attack head on, and the explosion was massive, leaving a gigantic cloud of smoke that could be seen from the Domus Flau. The smoke cleared to reveal both mages unharmed, and at the Domus Flau erupted into cheer at the fights going on. Laxus was currently dealing with Jura, Erza was finishing up with Kagura, Juvia was still fighting Chelia, Gray was traveling to Juvia's location, and Gajeel was busy taking on Rogue. Draex sighed, this would once again take much longer than expected, especially if he was fighting his brother. The two charge once again and but heads giving each other a joyful infernal look, the fun for them has only begun...well at least until they enter Dragon Force, then things will get crazy.
The two boys charged one one another, Damian's fists coated in swirling water, and Draex's fist with wind. The two met and air and water went flying in all directions.
"Water Dragon's Roar!" a torrent of water came out of Damian's mouth.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!" a whirlwind came out of Draex's mouth. The two attacks met and equaled one another in power, playing a game of push and shove.
"Water Dragon's Claw!" a wave of arc water would have slashed Draex, had he not duck under it in time.
"Arm X Armour X Vernier!" Draex was incase in a golden sphere as his magic, defense, and attack power was raised from the self enhancements. He travel at fast speeds that his brother couldn't keep up with. He was able to start getting the battle in his favor, and was dominating the fight.
"Water Dragon's Secret Art: Water Cyclone!" he spun as a tornado like torrent of water, reaching to the sky, surrounds him.
'Crap he's using a secret art this soon!? I have to get out of here,' Draex ran fast as he could, which also helped that he still had his enhancements on him. The giant cyclone of water followed Draex as he speeds his way through the city, as the water cyclone destroys mostly everything in it's path. Draex looked at his brother in happiness, shock, slight anger, and slight awe. 'He's really has grown up after a while, but he know's I'm not going down without a fight.' he stops running away, and starts heading towards the water cyclone, confusing those watching him.
"What's he planning," asked Mavis. Romeo spots something.
"Hey, is it me, or does it look like he's going faster than he should be?" the others looked closely, and their eyes widened. The air around Draex was rippling with small shock waves that they didn't notice before.
"You're right Romeo, just what is he planning," said Makarov. Draex had to go faster to use this move. He then plants his right foot in the ground, and sucked in the air around him. He stops and focuses. His hair turn pink and white and feathery scales grow along his body. He grins and blasts forward at an unbelievable speed as a the air around him forms into a raging whirlwind around him, shooting him faster than a bullet.
"Sky Dragon's Secret Art: Raging Hurricane!" the cyclone of water broke as a raging windstorm engulfed the entire city as windows everywhere broke from the extreme pressure of the storm. Once it settle, the entire populus looked on in sheer abashment at the power.
"My word," starts Makarov, "he's probably able to take Gildarts on!?" the rest of Fairy Tail could only look on in wide eyes. Back with the two brothers the smoke and debris were settling. Both mages were still standing, both batter and bruised from the punishment one gave to the other.
"You fought well little brother," compliments Draex.
"Thanks, that spell of yours really did a number on me to, but we aren't finished yet you know."
"Oh, I know." in a flash the two were clashing blades, Damian held onto his, while Draex used his dual blades. They then went into a frenzy of hacks and slashes causing sparks to fly. Neither let up for a single moment in hopes of not being defeated. Elsewhere, Laxus has finally taken down Jura, Erza had finish dealing with Kagura and Minerva, Juvia and Gray dealt with both Chelia and Lyon, and then there was Gajeel who has finished off Rogue. Now it was up to him, to end this battle once and for all. He jumps back and gives Damian a stern look.
"So brother, what now?" Damian, DragonHeart, and Phoenix Fire have really used up his current magic power, he didn't have enough to go into the new form yet, or even how to achieve it once again, and if it feeds off of rage he couldn't do it now because he already used it on Orion and the rest of DragonHeart. There was only one thing that could-no, that will ensure his victory.
"Now dear brother, it's time I end this." His body was engulfed in a golden light that released massive amounts of pressure.
'What is this, I've never seen anything like it,' thought Damian. When it cleared the Water Dragon Slayer took a few steps back in fear. The one thing Draex had to go and do. Excalibur was in the boy's hand and he had a look on his face that said, 'it's over', but what Damian also wanted to know is where his brother got the sweet sheath for the sword. Draex unsheathed the blade as the setting sun's light hits it as it gives a bright gleam. Mavis was in total shock right now. Not only did Draex wielded Excalibur, but also found Avalon! How she may never know, but she knew one thing...this battle was already decided. Draex held the sword nice and firmly in his hands as he looked at the form who was his younger brother. He pointed his sword at the mage who pointed his own. Then, faster than the blink of an eye, they crossed each other. The crowd and other members of Fairy Tail-who were still in the competition-watched in anticipation. Then, one of the two fell to the ground, unconscious. The still standing mage looked behind him and gave a sad smile to the other. He kneeled down and looked at them.
"Sorry, but I intend to win alongside my guild mates, but we had a good battle...Damian." Draex rose back up to look to the sun, "But, now it's time for the games to come to an end." the crowd at the Arena burst into cheers at the outcome. Draex starts walking away, but before he did, he looked to the fallen body. "Oh, and the score is now, 100 to 99, better luck next time." He turns to leave, limping from the injuries he took. He then has a strange feeling all of the sudden. 'Why does it feel that I'm forgetting that there's someone else in the games." he knows that all the teams were nearly taken out. All 6 members of Lamia scale, DragonHeart, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Puppy, Phoenix Fire, and Mermaid Heel. His team had all 6 members left, while Sabertooth lost Minerva, Rufus, Orga, and Rouge, there were only two left, Sting, who was who knows where, and...oh. 'Crap, I forgot about Dobengal. I wonder where he is right-' his senses picked up and he narrowly dodged a set of Shurikens. He sees the ninja mage standing there with a sharp look in his eyes.
"..."
'I see he's the silent yet deadly type.' Draex then had to use his still summoned sword to block oncoming projectiles from harming him any more than he already was. The ninja shoots towards him as he side steps. Draex had a blank look on his face at his adversary. With one large swoop, he hits the pummel of Excalibur into the mage's back neck, and he falls to the ground unconscious. 'What a let down,' he limps away from the ninja mage. Soon he sees a signal flare of the Sabertooth's guild emblem, which would lead him to Sting. He walked slowly to the location and is soon met with the sight of seeing a grinning Sting, the others also showed up, all battered and bruised as much as he was.
"What a spectacle," Sting looked towards Gajeel, "I looked up to you 7 years ago," and he turns to Draex, "and you are my biggest target."
"Enough blabbering,"says Gajeel, "this is the last fight."
"We'll do it 1v1, what do you prefer?" Sting chuckles.
"You can all attack me together since you're all wounded." Their eyes narrowed at him.
"You shouldn't underestimate Fairy Tail," says Juvia.
"Oh, I respect you. That's why I'll defeat you all together! I was waiting for this time! I'LL SHOW LECTOR MY POWER!"
"I don't know what your talking about, but are you really serious," questions Laxus.
"Fine," starts Erza, "if that's your decision then…"
"We'll be your opponents Sting," shouts Draex.
"That good, I'll show you all my awakening." he munsters his magic power as a white aura swirls around him, all while Team Fairy Tail looks on, all with determined faces. If they fail now, it would all be over for them, but they had to stand no matter what the costs. Suddenly, Sting stops his magic, he hesitates for a moment, then he falls to his hands and knees. "I...I can't win." everyone everywhere looked at him in shock, "I...surrender." There was a short moment of silence, then, an ocean of cheers rang throughout the air as the games have finally settled, most of Fairy Tail were in tears at the outcome.
"It's Over," shouts Chapatti, "The winner of the Grand Magic Games is...FAIRY TAIL!" the team of six could hear the cheers from where they were and fireworks were going off in the distance, it put a smile on their faces. Who knew that this would happen, it's like it's a special sign of some sort. Draex's eyes widen slightly.
"There will be a sign for when it happens, I can not tell you what it is, I'm sorry."
Remembering what Hisui told him, it made sense now, this was the sign she was looking for. The time was now, he looked towards the clock, it was about an hour till midnight, then he would be fourteen, he would either ascend or gain something else. Erza walked up to Sting.
"Sting, why didn't you attack us?"
"I felt that...I couldn't meet him...I felt if I won I could..but now I have the feeling that that's no longer true." Erza's eyes widen slightly. "I don't know why...you're all so amazing..the way I am now..I can't meet him." Erza's face turned soft, as she knew who he was talking about.
"You can."
"Erzy!" in the distance was Erza's childhood friend Millianna, Sting looked at her and his eyes widened greatly in shock. In Milianna's arms was a sleeping red furred exceed. Sting got up as the exceed named Lector woke up and they ran towards each other, it was a loving tearful reunion between best friends. Elsewhere, Mavis' smile turned into a frown as she felt something about to happen.
Draco and the other were in Castle Mercurius fighting off rune knights left and right, it wasn't as fun as he hoped. Of course he had the chance to use his magic, which caused major destruction in his wake, but the knights keep coming and didn't seem to end in numbers. He only hoped they got out soon, he wondered if the games finished, and how did the guild do in the games.
The crowd chanted Fairy Tail's name multiple times in unison.
"These Cheers! Fairy Tail is Reborn as the strongest Guild!" shouts Chapatti.
"Great show Maki," said Yajima. Matto, however, was in total shock at the outcome of the Games this year.
"They survived..the Last Day...Undefeated…" he questions to himself. The other guilds were down, but were very happy for Fairy Tail. After all, what they been through the last seven years they deserved this chance to shine in the limelight.
"Quite the spectical," comments Risley.
"How could we beat them," said Kagura, who was being helped by Araña.
"We got beaten hard," said Lyon.
"Sorry about that, but I'm happy for them," said Chelia.
"Splendid," said Jura.
"They did great," added Damian.
"Well...we can celebrate the comeback of the Tenrou Team and there new member," commented Eve.
"This was a big present," added Hibiki.
"Congrats," said Ren. Rogue and his partner Frosh were watching with smiles at the outcome.
"Fairy Tail is amazing!" cheered Frosh.
"Yeah," starts Rogue, "it's the first time I feel refreshed after losing." his eyes then soften. "Frosh, I want to become a man that cares for his friends."
"Me Too!" back with the winning team.
"It's finally over," said Gajeel.
"At least the tournament is over," replies Juvia. Erza and Draex noticed that there was no signal from the others.
"Has anyone seen the signal," asks the redhead.
"No," replies Laxus.
"I haven't," said Gray. Draex shook his head no. Sting looked towards the others wiping the tears from his eyes, that were now wondering something, this irritated Gajeel.
"Uhm…"
"Your face is irritating!"
"Gajeel!"
"No..I mean, why isn't Natsu participating?" the Fairy Tail mages faces turned hard.
"So, what happened to Natsu," asked Lector. Draex walked up to him.
"Sorry, but we can't tell you guys yet." Gray looked towards the castle.
'Are you guy's safe...Natsu, Lucy?'
Inside the castle, the recon team were getting overwhelmed by the castle forces. Draco was the only one who wasn't being attacked, which was because of him being a kid. It irked him how they were just going by him, while they others got to battle. The young mage could only watch because Harry was flying him above the battle ground.
"Harry, let me down!"
"No, I was told by your brother to watch you." Draco's rage skyrocketed to where a pale purple aura surrounded him as his magic spiked dangerously. The others turned to him in shock as his magic went through the roof. The aura around him surged around him as he changed his features. His silver hair gained a purple tint to it, as vibrant and pale purple scales grew along his arms, legs, and face, as his irises turned a violent shade of violet. Natsu looked in shock and envy at the kid in front of him.
"N-n-no way, he went into DRAGON FORCE!?" What Draco didn't know is how he got it, which it was all thanks to Draex is how he achieved it.
It was a few days after Draco started learning Plasma Dragon Slaying magic, and the six year old was asleep, with Draex watching the child from his doorway. He was sweat dropping at how crazy the younger boy slept in the bed. He then remembers the item Plasmias(the Plasma Dragon) gave him, if he ever ran into a worth candidate to become his Dragon Slayer. He takes out a small vial of red violet blood, just enough for one drop on a person's head, he then remembers how he achieved it.
Draex was training hard and fast, not letting up for a single moment. "Plasma Dragon's Roar!" a beam of purple energy sails onwards for a over a mile, leaving a trench in it's wake. He then punches trees and boulders to toothpicks and pebbles. Soon he retired to where his master for the next few months laid, but when he got there he saw the the dragon peirced himself with his own claw, and a single drop of blood fell onto his head.
"It is done, now like the others, you can enter Dragon Force my prince. But, I have a need of you for one more task."
"What is it?"
"I want you to find me my own Dragon Slayer, I was jealous of the others on Earthland for having there own child, but now, maybe I could have one." Draex looked shocked at his master.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I've never been more sure in my life, and to know I have a worthy candidate, use this." Plasmias brought out a small vial of his blood, and dropped it into Draex's cupped palms. "This single drop will suffice until I truly train them, now, time for bed your highness." Draex went over to a small hay stack a made himself comfortable, and in a few minutes he was in the land of dreams.
He uncorked the vial in his hands and looked at the smaller boy. Once he drops it, he would be able to go into Dragon Force when his will was strong enough. He tipped the vial, and the drop fell unto Draco's forehead. The blood sunk into the skin as a pale purple glow emanated from the child's body, and soon it dispersed, showing that he was now a pure Dragon Slayer, he just hoped Draco doesn't over uses his power or become like what Acnologia did.
Harry-seeing how Draco could absolutely take his own-drop the kid as he lands feet first on the ground. However, before he could attack them, a shadow started to swallow up the Rune Knights and Garou Knights. Soon all of them were devoured by the shadow that coated the floor, then..all was silent.
Outside the Eclipse Gate was brought out to in front of the castle. Their Hisui and Darton were ready and Arcadios came out in his special armour he only wore when the occasion called for it..like now for instance. Seeing him caused Darton to flinch.
"Arcadios, are you okay," asked Hisui.
"Colonel...regarding that hell palace..I just wanted to say…" Arcadios interrupted him
"Let's just forget that any of that ever happened." he turns to the knights working on the final preparations on the gate. "Do all of them know about the project?"
"Yes," Darton replies, "were spreading the information through all of the Knights, hopefully the Garou knights know of this soon."
"Yes, what the person said from the future is true, then the project has moved to project 2."
"Are you going to abandon the project about destroying Zeref?"
"No," replied Hisui, "but first we should deal with the problem at hand." he nods, then he pulls out his sword, giving it to the princess.
"I have doubt your words, and for dishonoring them I must pay…" he pulls the sword closer to his throat, "with my life!" the princess looks at him in shock.
"You…! Are you craze!?"
"Princess, tell me the truth, I met the person from the future, she didn't know about Eclipse Project 2. She cried about what's going to happen, but not how to deal with it."
"No...that person I talked to clearly told me what to do."
"So you're telling me that she was lying!? She doesn't seem like doesn't seem like the person who would deceive her comrades for her own sake!"
"But Arcadios, the person I talked to...was a man." his eyes widened, they've been played!
Draex had a foreboding feeling all the sudden, but he shook it off. Most of the other teams were around them(except DragonHeart-minus Kai and Alex with them, who were with the other teams too-), and everyone looked battered, in need of some healing.
"Everyone Gather around!" they did as he said, but were confused why.
"Draex, why do you want everyone around you," asked Gray.
"I think everyone needs a little healing up, so I thought I'd do it." they gave him questioning stares.
"How, your magic would likely run out, and you can't fully heal our wounds," said Erza. He, however, smiled.
"I didn't say I was using my Sky Magic." he unclipped Avalon from his belt and held it up high. Sudden a golden light emanated from the sheath, then it burst with power and they were engulfed by the radiant light, that could be seen all over the city.
"What on Earth is that," asked Makarov. Mavis felt the life the golden life gave off, this is thanks to her curse, but this magic unlike her curse is pure.
The golden light faded and the others are left stunned. Their once terrible wounds were gone, and any internal injury was healed.
"Amazing," whispered Hibiki, "how is this possible." Draex smiled.
"My secret." he felt a dark aura behind him, and turned to be met with the harsh glare of Erza.
"You will tell us what just happened," her voice was cold and merciless, meaning that there was no way to escaping the question.
"Fine, I used a special technique on everyone around us that heal all their wounds and injuries and restored their magic." slight gasps rang out, that item could really do that? Erza however, was studying the sheath. It was elegant, and masterly crafted, a true one of a kind piece just like his sword Excalibur. Something then pops into her mind, something she remembered reading about. It said that Excalibur wasn't the only sacred item created during the Dragon war long ago, it said that it had a partner, a sheath to be exact, that is said to bring life and goodness to those who hold it with a pure heart, it's name was…her eyes widened.
"A-Avalon?" Draex once again smiles.
"Wow Erza, you're really good at guessing." Erza grabbed his shoulders and started shakeing him rappidly.
"You not only hold the sacred blade of magic, but also it's holy hollister!?" heads turned to what she was saying. The looks the young mage was receiving were unsettling to say the least. Hearing this Hibiki went into archive to see what Erza meant. When he found it, his eyes widened, pupils dilated, and his jaw dropped.
"This...this can't be…"
"What is it Hibiki," asked Eve. Hibiki only nodded towards his screen as everyone took a look. Their eyes widened as they read about the sacred weapons Excalibur and it divine scabbared Avalon. Though they only got a little info, but they wanted to know more, so when they turned to the mate wielding the weapons, only to see them out of sight.
"Where did he go," questions Jura.
"I don't know, but we must find him," shouts Erza. In the shadows-literally-Draex heard every word. He was glad he used Shadow Trade when he did, otherwise he would have been held down for questioning. He left the scene to head to where Hisui told him where she would be activating the gate. Close behind, Fran, Chelia, and Athena were on his tail.
"Are you sure this is the right way Fran," asked Athena.
"Yes, I feel his magic heading in this direction, so stay close, but we have to keep our distance." The other two nod, who knew that she this was good at detecting magic.
"So there are two people from the future," said Arcadios. While they were conversing, a shadow appeared, which was spotted by one of the soldiers.
"What's that!?" they all turned to the swirling shadow on the ground, it started to mold into form as the soldiers and Arcadios got ready to fight it in case. The shadow took full form and the Princess' eyes widened.
"Stand down. It's finally good to see you Draex." Said mage smiled.
"Of course Hisui, anything for a person in need." she smiled. Close by the trio of girls looked out from behind a corner.
"What is he doing with the princess," questions Chelia.
"Don't know, but whatever it is it has something to do with that giant set of doors," Fran pointed to the Eclipse Gate.
"Now, prepare for the dragon's attack, we're going to prepare Eclipse Cannon, now, Unlock!" The gate started to unlock as the army was evacuating the people and the army keeping tabs on every Cardinal direction. Draex's ears perk up at hearing some voices and bushes rustling.
"Come out now!" Those in the bushes emerged as he saw Wendy, Lucy, Happy, Harry, Carla, Lily, and Draco.
"Didn't think we'd be discovered this fast," commented Carla. Wendy and Draco went up to hug the dragon mage, which he accepted in open arms.
"How did you both do?"
"Fine, but why are you here Draex," asked Draco. He sighed.
"I promised the princess I would help her take on the dragons."
"Oh." said Wendy.
"But, you guys aren't the only ones I told to come out, isn't that right you three!?" The said three jumped in shock, but what would they expect, his senses could but any animal to shame. They stepped out as Wendy slightly gasped, Draex didn't look surprised. "Hey girls-" he was buried in a pile of the three on top of him, causing Wendy, Draco, Harry, and Carla to sweat drop at the spectacle.
"My my, I didn't expect them to do that," said Carla. Arcadios looked at the first group Draex detected.
"Where is your future self?" the group fell into a sad silence, till Lily gave him the answer.
"She was killed by another person from the future." this shock the others.
"He said I got in the way of the Eclipse Cannon, but I want these dragon's gone as much as the other people do."
"So, you won't get in the way," questions Hisui.
"No, but what confuses me is why."
"Well, getting back to the business at hand," said Draex. He then actually takes notice of one missing person. "Where's Natsu by the way?"
"He's dealing with the guy from the future who killed future Lucy," said Draco. Draex nods to the younger mage. The gate opens and a white light showed itself, it was beautiful. However, something inside Draex nagged at him, say 'stop it, before it's too late!' but he didn't know why...that is, till a giant silhouette made itself known.
The Games are Finally over, and the Dragon Invasion has begun. There will be a difference in this battle...a major one, but it'll make it much better. Draex's identity as prince of all Dragon's will be made known, and Future Rogue's Dragon Supremacy magic will have no effect on him, because of it. Damian is much stronger than he let's on, and he and Draex spared a lot back in the Realm of Dragons, and Draex used to be able to be beat easily, all you had to do was distract him, but luckily he grew out of that phase a while ago, that's why the score was tied. Also I've decided on a name for Draex's new form...Draconic Awakening. Not bad if I do say so myself. Also, after this Arc, Draco will be taking a leave to go train with Plasmias, but he'll make another appearance later on, and somehow was able to gain dragonforce already, but he will have to train a long time before he can go back into it. Yes, Draex has Avalon, Excalibur's counterpart/other half and it's holder. For anything else PM me or leave them in the reviews, and don't forget to follow and favorite, till next time.
