In the northern mountains of Fiore, Laxas Dreyer waited patiently atop one of the peaks.
"I see that you have come here early… are you eager to train?" a voice behind Laxas asks.
Laxas turns around to see a man as old as Master Makarov standing there with his hands behind his back and a slight smile on his face. But there is where the similarities end.
This man was taller than Laxas, had a silver beard reaching his waist and silver hair just as long. He wore a golden robe and had kind but sharp blue eyes that sparked with an electric glow.
"Are you Master Lentus?" Laxas asks the man, to which the man nods.
"Are you sure you are ready for the next three months?" the man, Master Lentus asks.
Laxas considers before saying, "Years ago I tried to destroy my home… my family… since then I have been trying to atone… perhaps If I become stronger then I can finally atone by defeating the citadel".
"You will never defeat the citadel on your own Laxas… but your reasons are just… seek atonement through training and don't ever begin to slack off or I will cease your training… understood?"
"Yes… let's begin now If you don't mind" Laxas requests.
Master Lentus of the Bolt smiles and nods, "Yes… let's begin".
Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfillia had been relaxing and waiting at a beach in Southern Fiore for three days until they heard a voice behind them, "I'm not sure you two really want to train… for the past two days I have watched you and all you've done Is relax".
The two get up from their chairs to turn around and see the woman before them.
She was in her middle thirties with hair still mostly yellow that flowed to her waist. She was beautiful in her maturity, like a good wine and had mellow brown eyes.
"I take it you are the Senior Slayer Ur-Heart" Erza asks the woman, to which she nods.
"I was asked by Banan and ordered by both the Masters of the Bolt and Flame to train you… let us see If you have what it takes" Senior Slayer Ur-Heart says.
"If you don't mind Master Ur-Heart, what is your slayer magic?" Lucy asks the woman.
"I possess Dragonslayer, Godslayer and Devilslayer magic that's element is Spirit… It's the rarest of all the base elements" Ur-Heart replies.
"Then let us begin" Erza states.
"Yes… we shall begin now" Senior Slayer Ur-Heart of the Spirit states.
Somewhere deep under the mountain of Hakobe, Black Steel Gajeel waited impatiently.
"Where the hell is this guy?" Gajeel mutters.
"Guy? There is no guy here" a female voice says behind Gajeel.
Gajeel turns to see a woman in her early twenties standing before him. She had raven hair and nails in her entire body… she also had harsh grey eyes.
"Who are you?" Gajeel asks.
"I am the one who will train you… I am Intermediate Slayer Josaine, a master of slaying Iron Dragons, Gods and Demons" she replies.
Gajeel grunts, "You're a woman-" he started to say until he felt an Iron fist crush into his head.
"And you're a man… If you want to train, we'll begin now!" Josaine of Iron growls as she begins to pummel Black Steel Gajeel.
Atop a peak of the Western Mountains of Fiore, Wendy Marvell watched as the woman approached.
"Are you my trainer" Wendy asks cheerfully as the woman arrives.
"Indeed I am child… I am Senior Slayer Aurelia, a Master of Wind Slayer Magic" the woman, who appeared in her fifties with already fully silver hair and grey eyes full of wisdom spoke.
"I look forward to our training" Wendy cheerfully says.
The woman smiles, "You remind me of myself when I was your age child… except for your strength that is… but I'm here to remedy that problem".
Wendy smiles and Aurelia of the Wind smiles back.
Somewhere in the blizzards of Mount Hakobe.
"It's the middle of damn Winter in Fiore… even I'm feeling a little of this chill" Gray states.
Karen laughs, "Maybe If you put some clothes on Onii-Chan you might feel less cold… myself I could be nude and wouldn't feel this".
Gray exclaims over his missing clothes and says, "Please don't go nude Karen… that'll be awkward".
Karen laughs, "Just joking around Onii-chan… well how about it? Wanna start training?"
Gray nods and begins his three months of training and bonding with his long lost little sister Karen of the Blizzard.
Sting and Rogue march through the central plains of Fiore, looking for the place marked on their maps.
"The place should be right around here" Sting says to Rogue, looking at the map.
"Indeed, but I do not see him" Rogue states.
"If you two are looking for me, then you have found me" an old male voice says behind them.
Sting and Rogue turn to see a man in his seventies approach them. He had a short full of beard of silver hair and hair just as silver reaching his shoulders.
"Who are you?" Rogue asks.
"I am Senior Slayer Jaquen… and for the next three months you two will receive your training from me… NOW PREPARE YOURSELVES!" Senior Slayer Jaquen declares.
So with that, the training of Shadow and Light began.
"Juvia is becoming impatient" Juvia says to herself after four days of waiting on a deserted Island an hour off the eastern coast of Fiore.
"That is no good… water can wait for centuries to achieve its goal… and you must be the same" a woman says behind her.
Juvia turns around and sees… a woman who could have been her sister. She looked to be in her early twenties and had blue hair much like her own.
"What are you staring at?" the woman says without emotion.
"Oh nothing… who are you?" Juvia asks.
"I am Intermediate Slayer Jillian Aquas… your trainer" the woman, Jillian says.
"Then can we begin?" Juvia asks.
"First… why do you wish to learn to fight the Citadel?"
Juvia thought for a moment before saying like the stalker that she is, "So that Juvia can protect Gray-sama".
As Juvia begins to go through one of her many fantasies of Gray, Jillian shakes her head, "You're doing this for a boy?" she says.
"Of course… doesn't Master Jillian have a special someone she would like to protect?" Juvia asks.
Jillian panics and grabs Juvia by the shoulders, "What has he said… has he finally admitted he likes me… tell me that Banan-sama says he likes me!".
Juvia was in shock, is this what Juvia looks like when I talk about Gray-sama?
Natsu Dragneel stood at one side of the edge of the volcano in Northern Fiore, whilst Cassandra Pentghast stood on the other side.
"Are you certain that you are ready Natsu Dragneel?" Cass asks the Salamander.
Natsu smirks, "Ready and born to fight".
"Very well… but be warned… the next three months may very well kill you" Cassandra Pentghast Master of the Flame warn Natsu Dragneel the Salamander of Fairy Tail as they begin their training.
And so it begins.
A.N: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter… next chapter will be a three-month time skip and will be the last chapter of 'Another Threat'. But don't worry I will begin publishing another series of chapters that are based on the actual war against the Citadel some-time in the future. For the time being I will be posting one shots giving back stories on all the trainers of the Citadel… the trainers are really the only ones I will be going into detail over in this series from the Citadel besides a few enemies. The series of One-Shots will be called 'The Slayers of the Citadel' so after you finish reading the next chapter… check it out!
Oh and another thing… next chapter is going to have LEMON! It'll be the first time I've ever written a lemon so I am hoping I'll do well. See ya!
