The First Dragon Slayer

by tomiscomin4u

In the year X20, a man named Thomas Dragneel was born. At a young age, he witnessed his entire village get destroyed by a Dragon. He was saved by a little girl known as Minia. Who was a magician that took him under her wing. She trained him and Thomas became the very first Dragon Slayer. What'll happen when Thomas wakes up in the year X784?

14. Make a Tough Choice

At 5 p.m. that day, Alexia said, "They should be waking up anytime now."

Thomas looked forward and then saw the base of operations and then looked at it saying, "They came earlier than expected."

George asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Thomas answered, "They are about 5 miles away from us right now."

Zung said, "Another 5 Legal Guilds vanished."

Thomas heard that and then said, "I need to predict the future. Make sure nothing touches me while I do this."

Everyone heard that and then Thomas said, "Future Chains."

Thomas' eyes closed and he collapsed on to the ground and then Alexia said, "Protect Thomas at all costs."

Everyone said, "Aye sir."

While they were standing guard, Thomas appeared in the near future and then Manticore smiled and said, "Let's see what those damn dogs will do without their guildmaster. Protect the guild, or the Royal Family. But protecting the Royal Family will be difficult for them. Because they are all at the guild building caring for the injured. They won't be able to withstand a strike from the Jupiter Cannon. Not even the Royal Family can defend against the Jupiter Cannon. Well, we're a Dark Guild. We work under the Ayarid Alliance under the Giant Pests. I see. I know what to do. Betting that Demon is still with them, he'll fight to protect the guild members and not the Royal Family. Fire the Jupiter Cannon at the Castle. We're going to kill the Royal Family."

The mages aimed the Jupiter Cannon at the Castle and then everyone saw that and then Thomas growled saying, "They are going to kill the Royal Family."

Alexia yelled, "Stop."

Shelby said, "Thomas, go."

Thomas said, "I won't make it in time."

Red Skull laid there and then yelled, "Stop this Manticore. You wanted to destroy us, didn't you? Just destroy us already."

Thomas took off and then the Jupiter Cannon fired and Thomas appeared in front of it yelling, "Adamantine Barrier."

Hisui heard that and looked outside and saw Thomas in the sky and then the attack started pushing him back and Thomas started putting magic into it and yelled, "Come on. The Royal Family ain't dying today. The Princess still has a good life ahead of her."

Hisui heard that and then Arcadios looked at her and then asked, "What's wrong, your highness?"

Hisui pointed at the window and then Thomas collapsed and then another one appeared yelling, "Adamantine Barrier."

Thomas started screaming and then the beam stopped and Thomas' barrier blew up and pushed Thomas toward the Castle and then they saw that and then Thomas hit his head against the wall of the Castle and then Thomas was knocked out from hitting the ground after hitting his head against the wall. After a couple minutes, Manticore said, "He really did do it. He stopped the Jupiter Cannon. Well, fire it again."

Arcadios said, "It's charging up again. We need to get out of here."

Hisui asked, "What about him?"

Arcadios answered, "Leave him. He saved your life once. He won't be able to do it a second time."

They started running and then Toma said, "Thank god. You are safe. To the cellar. It's the safest place to be right now."

While they were running, the attack flew right into the Castle and then Red Skull saw that and then said, "It takes time for it to recharge. And Thomas can't do it a second time."

Alexia said, "The Royal Family."

The Castle blew up with everyone in it. The Castle started to collapse and then the debris fell on top of Thomas and Thomas was never seen again. Manticore said, "Attack Phoenix's Tears now."

Everyone started cheering and then started charging toward them and then Red Skull said, "Kill them all."

Everyone started charging into the battlefield carelessly and then the battle turned into a bloodbath. Everyone was killing each other leaving none alive. Not even Alexia. End of the Future Chain. Thomas stood up and then said, "I see."

Alexia asked, "What's wrong, Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "The Future Chain says that we're all supposed to die here. Including the Royal Family. But this Future Chain might be wrong. So we must make a choice."

Red Skull appeared with Shelby saying, "Protect the Royal Family at all costs. That is why I formed my guild next to it."

Shelby said, "But what if they attack the guild?"

Red Skull answered, "Let it be destroyed, Shelby. We need to protect the Royal Family. Or we wouldn't be a Legal Guild, otherwise."

Thomas said, "Favor in saving the Royal Family, raise your hand."

Red Skull raised his hand only and then Thomas saw that and then said, "In favor of saving the guild, raise your hand."

Everyone else did and then Thomas said, "And if you have no idea what you want, raise your hand."

Thomas was the only one that raised his hand and then Red Skull asked, "Are you guys idiots?"

Alexia looked at Thomas and then said, "Why are you doing this, Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "People die in battle. But not today. Your choices will either kill the Royal Family or save them. You kill the Royal Family, you'll turn into a Dark Guild. And I'll have to tear you all to pieces. You save the Royal Family and then you get to live another day as the guild that protected the Royal Family."

Alexia heard that and then Shelby said, "I will not let the guild be destroyed."

Thomas heard that and then looked at Alexia and Alexia grinned and Red Skull said, "Thomas, what will you do?"

Thomas answered, "I don't know. But Red Skull, if you are willing to protect the Royal Family from the Jupiter Cannon, how would you do it?"

Everyone heard that and then Red Skull answered, "Put up an Anti-Particle Barrier. The Jupiter Cannons shots are made up of particles. Then use Adamantine Barrier."

Thomas heard that and then said, "Just as I predicted. Then I have a plan."

Everyone heard that and then Thomas said, "It is possible to protect both the Royal Family and the guild."

Red Skull heard that and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Thomas answered, "I can use both of those magics. Anti-Particle Barrier and Adamantine Barrier. Also, I already tested out the Anti-Particle Barrier against the Jupiter Cannon last night, it didn't work out too well when I put full power into it."

Red Skull said, "It'll work."

Thomas heard that and then said, "Alright. Then this is how it is going to go down. Manticore will definitely send troops to Phoenix's Tears. So you all defend the guild while I go to the Castle and defend the Royal Family."

Red Skull said, "That's suicide."

Thomas said, "I planned this from the start, Red Skull. My plan will definitely work out."

George said, "Eating the particles of the Jupiter's attack will destroy your insides. It's suicide."

Zung said, "You won't get a second chance in life after this."

Thomas said, "I was already given a second life. This would be my third if I survive today."

Red Skull heard that and then Thomas said, "Plus, I have magic that'll heal my wounds. Sounds like a plan, correct?"

Red Skull grinned and then said, "I would say no, but I don't think that you take no for an answer."

Thomas smiled and said, "Then that settles that matter then. We have our plan and we made our decision. Save the Royal Family and Phoenix's Tears."

Everyone started cheering and then Manticore was about 30 minutes away from target.
