The day is July 12 of the year X777, and right now, the Tower of Heaven is quiet.
The Tower of Heaven, a R-system, a device designed to resurrect someone, but to do so, it requires a sacrifice.
This is an awful place, full of hatred, sadness, misery, suffering and death.
The Zeref cultists are full of misery and suffering, they are actually enjoying the suffering of their slave forces, they thrive off the pain and misery of others, they are truly some of the worst humanity has to offer.
Thus they have become targets for the wrath of a pair of Dragon Slayers.
In one corridor of the western wing, one would see nothing, but if one were a Dragon Slayer, one would hear a soft heartbeat coming from the corridor.
One of the doors at the end of the corridor opens up, but there is no one there.
The door then closes and soft footsteps are heard.
The footsteps continue to go down the corridor and then goes towards the barrier, a large metal wall created to keep prisoners from trying to escape.
The footsteps go up to the barrier and then a soft noise is heard and then a semi loud 'thump', signifying that the source of the footsteps jumped clear over the barriers with very little difficulty.
The footsteps continue on past the barrier until they reach the end of the island, where we find a small, unassuming bush.
The footsteps go up to the bush and then pushed past the bush and into a tunnel the bush is concealing.
After two minutes of going down the tunnel, we find a 12 foot by twelve foot cave.
The footsteps stop and then a distortion appears on the air for a few seconds before it is dropped, revealing the source of the footsteps to be none other than our resident Fire Dragon Prince.
He sighed, using Fire Invisibility requires intense concentration and it was causing his head to hurt.
Fire Invisibility is subset of Fire Dragon Slayer magic, it uses the caster's internal fire source to create a cloak of invisibility and it doesn't use a lot of magic, but it does create major headaches if the caster uses it for too long.
Tyson had arrived at the Tower of Heaven four days earlier and since then, he had taken enough supplies from the cultists to last him another day and he had used his invisibility to scope out the enemy numbers.
During his scoping of the Tower, he had not found the source of the feeling or the voice he had heard, but he knows that they were one in the same and they are here, they stand out in this sea of darkness as a source of light, there are a number of these light patches, signalling other good people, but the source of the voice was by far the brightest.
Tyson wanted to find the voice's owner, but was aware that doing so might tip the guards off, so he stayed back and continued scoping out the enemy.
Now that their numbers had been determined, he figured out a plan to get rid of them.
He has found out the Tower of Heaven has a number of magic cannons to attack incoming vessels, so he has planted a number of Crimson Fire Dragon's Magma Core Implosion right around them.
Magma Core Implosion is a very versatile move, it can be used as a straight up attacking move, or you can stall the reaction that leads to the explosion for as long as you want, which is what Tyson has done. He has placed the Magma Core Implosion sphere's underneath the cannons and when the time is right, he will send a mental signal to the core's to start the reaction, which will lead to a devastating explosion whenever he wants.
The plan is actually well-thought out. There is a group of slaves nearby the cultist's armory, but they have a group of 75 guards around at all times for that fact.
Tyson will cause a diversion using his Magma Cores, drawing the guards away and then he shall free the slaves and then get them to the armory.
Once they are armed, he'll have them break into three different groups and move to different sections of the Tower. These sections have only one entrance and exit, making them perfect as a kill zone.
The slaves shall hide behind sporadically placed boxes and walls and fire at the Cultists one at a time, when one of the slaves get tired, another takes over.
Tyson has also used his time to create about two hundreds palm sized Magma Core Implosions that when heaved at a target and they hit will explode with ferocious power.
He called these Magma grenades and these shall help even the odds for the rebels.
After the three groups split off, he'll head to the other cells and and free them as well and get them armed as well, while taking down any guards in the way.
After all the guards on the inside are taken out, Tyson will lead them towards the courtyard, where the remaining cultists will likely make a last stand.
He was prepared and has created about a hundred Magma Core Implosions and buried them about five hundred yards away from the entrance to the courtyard.
Tyson would detonate all of them at once, hopefully destroying their last obstacle to freedom, and once the cultist are defeated. After that, he would use Fire Dragon Roar to blow a hole in the tower, allowing the slaves to get to the boats. Once they were far away, he would use Fire Dragon King Roar to destroy this accursed tower once and for all.
The plan was solid, but it all relies on the rebels being willing to fight themselves, for if they do not, that shall make his job of defeating the cultists more difficult.
Tyson then yawned, it's getting late and tomorrow was the day his plan comes into effect and the slaves were liberated.
He laid down on the floor and and begins to fall asleep, but before he does he whispers, "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day in which you shall be free. Please hold out just a little longer."
Elsewhere...
Erza has just come back from her long day of working and is insanely tired and exhausted.
She falls to the floor and gets in a comfortable position and starts to fall asleep when she hears a whisper in the wind saying, "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day in which you shall be free. Please hold out just a little longer."
Erza feels hope blossom in her heart once again, for the past 5 days, at nighttime she hears a boy's voice whisper encouragement and kind words to her and that has been her pillar of strength, that is what has given the hope that she shall be free soon.
She smiles as a few tears fall from her eyes and she whispers back, "I will hold out for as long as you need. Just help free me and my friends."
Erza then falls asleep with a content smile on her face, she and her friends shall be free soon and that makes her impossibly happy.
Time skip...
Morning starts to seep over the horizon and right now, Tyson got ready to free the slaves.
He eats his morning breakfast and rechecks over his plan to make sure he has it completely memorized.
Tyson's invisible bush vanished and he emerged from his hiding spot.
He stood up and closed his eyes.
His skin starts to ripple like a lake and after a few seconds, Tyson was invisible.
He ran up to the barrier and jumped over it easily.
Tyson then went towards his first objective: the slaves by the armory.
He ran into the facility, using the shadows as cover, in the off chance someone could see through his invisibility.
Tyson then came upon the slave holding cells and saw they were all here, getting ready for the start of their work shift, meaning they were still fresh and so less likely to collapse from exhaustion right now.
Tyson sent a mental command to the Magma Core Implosions by the Magic cannons and three seconds later, twenty massive explosions rocked the facility.
Dust and debris began to fall from the ceiling as the slaves cried out in fear and the guards in confusion.
"What in the name of Zeref is going on?" A small skinny guard asked.
"The hell if I know. Someone must be trying to free the slaves, we have to go outside and catch them." A larger, more muscular guard replied with.
The guards then all ran away, leaving only five to guard the slaves.
Tyson smirked, this is way too easy.
Over the last five days, both Dragon Slayers began to hate the cultists and were going to enjoy the bad things that were about to happen to them.
He lowered his invisibility and shouted, "Emerald Fire Dragon Roar!"
Tyson reared his head back and threw it forward, sending a 3 meter wide tunnel of fire at the guards.
They barely had time to even scream in pain as the flames hit them before the five were knocked out, each one falling to the floor, smoking and slightly charred from the intense flames.
He smirked, it had felt good to cause these horrible human beings incredible pain for what they've done.
He approached the slaves cell's and and then he ignited his hands.
The slaves all gasped, true they had seen him breath fire, but ignite his hands and not be hurt as well? Who was this young boy?
Tyson placed his hands on the bars, and they instantly melted.
He melted all the other bars and then said, "If you want to escape, let's go."
The slaves hesitated for only a few seconds before they all came out of the cell.
Tyson then stated, "Follow me."
He and the slaves proceeded to run several corridors towards the armory.
Once they got to the armory, they saw a group of 15 guards right outside of the armory.
"Hey kid, maybe you should use your fire magic and beat those guards." A 25 year old slave man said.
"No, that would draw too much attention to us. I have a better plan, though."
He stepped out into view of the guards and before they had a chance to react, he yelled. "Lightning Dragon Roar!"
Tyson reared his head back, but unlike before, now green lightning formed in his mouth and then he threw his head forwards, unleashing a 5 meter wide lightning bolt that covered the distance between him and the guards in the blink of an eye.
The pure electricity caused the guards to become unconscious from the pain almost instantly, meaning no time to call out for help and this time there was no explosion, meaning that no one was alerted to their presence.
The slaves were even more shocked now (no pun intended). This ten year old boy come out of nowhere, showed the ability to shoot fire and now lightning from his mouth and to change the size of said attacks at will? Who in the name of Ishgar is this child?
Tyson turned in the direction of the freed slaves and said, "Head to the armory and gather any magic guns, anything that could be used as a weapon and hurry, more guards will be here soon."
The slaves nodded and then the group of twenty-one slaves rushed into the armory, grabbed a number of swords, magic guns and some armor for their chests.
He added, "Time to move on."
Tyson and the group quickly began to run down the halls of the facility, quietly taking out any guards that got in their way until they came to the three kill zones.
"Alright, now you remain hidden behind the walls and boxes, once the guards arrive take them out quickly by targeting their heads or limbs."
The leader of the group nodded and said, "You heard him, move quickly, more guards will be here soon."
"We're splitting up here for the time being." Mizu exclaimed.
"Why?" Tyson asked his fellow Dragon Slayer.
"There are a lot more slaves to free, so it's easier for us to divide our efforts. Once I'm done, we'll meet back up in the middle."
Mizu ran off to carry out his part of the plan.
Tyson handed the leader some of his Magma grenades and said to him, "These are Magma grenades. Toss them at a group of enemies and they will explode of contact, creating a massive explosion, so only use them groups of 7 or higher. Good luck."
He then ran down several corridors and found a group of fifteen guards.
Tyson smirked, time for some fun.
He ran towards the group, one flaming fist and the other covered in green lightning. He yelled out. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist and Lightning Dragon Iron Fist!"
Tyson jumped in the air and smashed his flaming left fist into a guard's face. causing several teeth to fly out and the guards limp body to fly into a wall.
He then spun around and punch his right lightning coated fist into another guards gut, causing him to spit out some blood and then the guard's body became covered in lightning and that guard flew into the air and smashed into the ceiling.
The other guards were frozen in fear, this kid had just sent two 150 pound adults flying as if they weighed nothing and he seemed ready to pound the rest of them into the ground.
Tyson then gained an evil smirk and yelled out, "Fire Dragon Grip Strike!"
He grabbed another guard's face and then blasted him point blank with a lot of flames, causing him to go flying to the other guards, knocking about three out with him.
'Six down, nine left.' Tyson thought.
He then rushed over to the other guards. "Fire Dragon Sword Horn!"
Tyson's entire body became covered in flames and then he headbutted a guard in the stomach, causing him to cough up blood, then the flames on him exploded.
When the dust cleared, all the guards were unconscious and badly burnt and beaten.
He smirked to himself, the fools didn't have a chance against him at his current power level. But it came as no surprise, they preyed on the weak and defenseless. It made him sick.
Tyson began running once again and after a few minutes, he found a wide open area with 60 slaves and 30 guards.
He smiled, freeing these slaves would even the odds even more.
"Alright, time to wreak havoc!"
Tyson jumped down and landed on the floor.
Several guards took notice of him and yelled out, "Boy, why aren't you working?"
"Why would I work for fools like you?"
A guard took that comment quite personally and marched over, intent on teaching the brat some manners.
Before he could even get close enough, Tyson yelled out. "Fire Dragon Flame Elbow!"
Tyson pulled his arm back and threw it forward as a trail of fire burst out of his elbow and the turbo charged fist smashed right into the guard's stomach.
The guard bent over in extreme agony, not prepared for a follow up attack, which was, "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"
A small fist coated in flames then came flying into the guard's face, causing him to be sent flying through the air for about ten feet.
Everyone in the cavern stopped and just stared in shock and awe, this young boy had just beaten a massive adult with not effort apparent.
Then as one, the guards went charging towards Tyson, intent on bringing him under control.
However, they made a massive mistake: they had grouped together in one massive unit.
A wicked smirk formed on Tyson's face and he proceeded to chant.
"With the flames on my right hand and with the flames on my left hand, bring them together and you get FIRE DRAGON BRILLIANT FLAME!" Tyson yelled out as he combined his flames together to form a massive ball of fire, which he then chucked at the guards.
The guards had no chance of getting away in time and were promptly knocked out and their unconscious bodies tossed all over the cave.
The slaves were quiet for a few seconds before they all began to cheer, finally they had a chance to get out of this hell-hole.
He then walked over and tore the cuffs off the slaves, then said. "Head for the armory and gather any weapons you see. Do it quickly, more guards will undoubtedly show up."
The slaves nodded and then hurriedly grabbed anything that could be considered as a weapon, the guards weapons, their pickaxes, shovels, anything.
Tyson then instructed, "Go down the next five corridors and you'll find 21 slaves, join them in holding the line, additional slaves will come to assist you."
The group nodded and then the 60 slaves ran to go join the other slaves.
Tyson then began to run towards the third group of slaves.
He pushed fire into his feet and two streams of fire came out of his combat boots, making him fly quickly towards the group.
After about ten minutes of flying, Tyson found the third group in another cavern, they were also mining just like the second, but this group was 40 in number and have 50 guards, suggesting that this particular group had a history of trouble.
Tyson then sucked out his right hand with his index and middle finger sticking out, while his ring and pinky finger were closed and finally his thumb was up in the air, making his hand look like a gun.
He aimed for the lead guard for this group and once he had found him, aimed and them closed his thumb, causing a medium sized fire ball to be sent from his index and middle fingers.
The fireball struck the lead guard and pushed him off the pathway he was walking on, causing him to fall to the floor.
Several of the guards went to check on him, while most of the others began to look for who caused that.
Tyson saw several of them coming towards him and smirked.
He then shouted out, "Lightning Dragon Electric Vortex!"
Tyson formed a familiar green sphere between the palms of his hands and after a few seconds worth of charging threw it at the guards.
The sphere traveled the distance between the guards near instantly, and once it had reached them, the sphere broke apart and became a five sided star and struck the guards.
A extreme amount of electricity was released, causing the guards to scream and then fall unconscious.
He then jumped out of his hiding place and charged a group of five guards.
"Lightning Dragon Zeus Cannon!" Tyson yelled out as he thrust both hands out in front of him and then a large green magic circle appeared and from it came a massive lightning bolt that went screaming towards the guards.
Those poor guards had no chance of even screaming in pain before they were rendered unconscious from the shear amount of pain their bodies were in.
The remaining guards then surrounded Tyson and one of them then said, "So, what you going to do now boy?"
He then smirked and said, "Just this. Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Raiju's Rage!"
Tyson's entire form became engulfed in purple lightning and then he sent a massive bolt into the sky, smashing through the roof and out of the facility.
Seconds later forty smaller lightning bolts came crashing down into all the guards surrounding him, frying them and knocking them out with ease.
Raiju's Rage is a move that Tyson can change with ease, allowing him to strike a single target with an insane amount of electricity, or strike a group of enemies with medium amount of electricity.
Tyson smirked and said, "You guys never had a chance."
He then turned to the slaves, all of whom were extremely scared of this small boy, he just took down forty enemies with an almost casual ease, meaning he is insanely powerful.
Tyson then approached the group, who all took a step back out of fear.
He then said in a calming voice, "I am not here to hurt you, I am here to free you."
A small girl, no older than 7, came forwards and hugged him, while tears came down her face and she said with a quivering voice, "Thank you."
Tyson smiled and then rubbed her back and said, "Shh, shh. This nightmare is almost over. You all shall be free, that's a promise."
He then gently grabbed her wrists and then tore off her restraints.
Tyson repeated this process until all of the slaves were free of their restraints and then he said, "Alright listen up. Gather any weapons you can find to fight back if we hope to leave this place."
The slaves nodded and then began to run all over the cavern to search for weapons.
After about fifteen minutes of searching, the forty slaves were all armed and then Tyson said, "Alright, you guys go down the corridor to the right for about 10, 15 minutes and in three separate rooms shall be all of the other freed slaves. Join them in holding those rooms for as long as you can."
The group nodded and then took off running and Tyson went the other way, headed towards the largest of the five slave groups.
The one he was about to free was mainly built off old people or very young people, only about 3 medium aged adults in the entire 339 slave group.
They were kept in the middle of the facility, where the remaining 85 guards and their pet's called Watchers guarded them.
He knew that this is going to be his toughest battle yet, so he decides to break some of the Crimson Fire Dragon Slayer moves.
Tyson closed his eyes and he imagined his inner flames becoming stronger, and after a few seconds his flames changed from their usual orange color to crimson red.
He then began to run even faster, he had precious little time left, the guards on the outside would be getting curious soon and come back inside and see that their charges were now out and free and more than that, they were armed and ready to fight for their freedom.
He ran for about 12 minutes until he came upon a massive cavern, where about 150 slaves were working right now, the other's were still in the cells lining the side's of the cavern.
Tyson saw 17 groups of five guards all around the cavern, meaning that taking them out in one massive blow would be impossible and taking them out one group at a time would be too slow and the guards might kill some of the slaves before he could stop them that way.
What he needs is a distraction.
Tyson then reached behind his back and pulled out three of his Magma grenades and he then gained a massive smirk.
He then threw the grenades with all the force he could.
The three round red spheres flew through the air and struck the back of the cavern, causing a very loud explosion.
Predictably, almost every guard ran over to where the grenade's hit, only to see that there was nobody there.
He smiled evilly and then rushed out of his hiding place.
70 guards were over there, he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
Tyson then yelled out, "Crimson Fire Dragon Cannon Blaster!"
He reared back his left arm, where a magic circle appeared and then he thrust it forwards, where from the magic circle came a large crimson dragon, who roared out as it flew towards the group of guards.
The dragon struck the group with the force of a bomb, blowing them all away from the impact sight.
None of them were killed, but all of them were smoking from the extreme heat and all of them were knocked out and probably wouldn't regain consciousness for a while.
Tyson then heard load footsteps coming from behind him and then he ducked downwards as a sword flew right where he had been.
Natsu twirled around and saw three angry guards coming at him.
"You little shit! Who do you think you are?!" One of the guards yelled at him.
"My name is Tyson Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Prince. And I will avenge the injustice done to these slaves."
"It goes double for me, I'm Mizu Hydroplex son of Shikingu and the Water Dragon Slayer."
The same guard then yelled out, "I don't care who your dad is you little shit! I am going to kill you and everyone you love for your disobedience!"
"We're not going to allow that!"
"Crimson Fire Dragon Roar!"
"Water Dragon Roar!"
Tyson reared his head back as a torrent of crimson fire engulfed the three guards.
Then a torrent of water cooled off their smoldering bodies.
Tyson then saw the remaining 12 guards raising their magic guns at him and he smirked.
Green lightning crackled from his form and created a green dome of electricity around him.
A second later, numerous magic blasts struck the dome with no effect.
Thunder Dome is an nigh impregnable dome of electricity, it would take something much stronger than those flimsy guns to break it.
He then yelled out, "Lightning Dragon Thunder Drive!"
His entire form was now engulfed in purple electricity, boosting his strength, speed and endurance.
Tyson then disappeared from all sight, causing the Zeref cultists to look around and try to find him.
He hen reappeared right behind a cultist and shouted out, "Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Tyson punched him straight in the face with his purple lightning covered fist, sending him flying across the cavern and into another guard, and the momentum from the fist caused them to fall of the edge and down to the floor, knocking them both out.
Tyson then disappeared in a flash and struck another two guards with two quick punches.
He then yelled out, "Lightning Dragon's Roar!"
Tyson then unleashed another large green lightning bolt from his mouth into five other guards, knocking them out within seconds.
All that was left were three guards and they were all terrified, so they fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
"You would dare beg for mercy? You don't know the meaning of mercy." Mizu gritted his teeth, knocking one of the guards out.
Tyson then punched the remaining two in the face with the lightning covered fists, knocking them out before they had a chance to react.
He then saw all the slaves looking at him with awe and a little bit of fear, so he said in another calming voice, "I am here to free you. But if I am to free you I need your help."
One by one they all nodded to Tyson and so he went over to each slave and tore their restraints off of them and then told each one of them to go get some form of weaponry.
Some of the freed slaves when to the cells holding other slaves and by using the magic guns, blew their doors open and then took of their fellow slaves restraints, decreasing the time it would taken to free all of the slaves.
After about thirty minutes, all of the slaves were freed and ready to roll.
Tyson ordered, "Go to the armory. I'm sure you know where that is."
After nods in reply he then said, "Go towards the armory and then take several corridors to the right and you shall find three rooms were the other freed slaves are. Stay there until I return with the final forty slaves."
The large group of freed slaves then went charging down the corridors, intent upon getting their freedom.
"Once we freed the remainder of these slaves, let's finish this once and all." Mizu said.
Tyson left the cavern then he and Mizu ran towards the final group, the group that held the owner of the voice, he could feel it, but he could also sense that some of the darkest souls in the awful place where also there, meaning that they might kill them to prevent their escape.
His worries gave him speed and after 5 minutes of running, he found the final slave cell, filled with the final group of slaves.
Tyson then saw only three guards here and so he just run up towards them, his right fist coated in flames, his left encased in lightning and punched the three of them unconscious before they knew what was happening.
Tyson ran up to cell's bars and began to met them, earning him several gasps of shock.
After all the bars were melted he then entered the cell and began to tear the restraints off.
While he was doing that, he tried to locate the voice's owner, but for some reason he just couldn't.
The last person whose restraints were to torn off was an elderly man with a long beard, thin beaten limbs, and a strange symbol on his back
It looked like a fairy, but this fairy had a tail on it as well.
The old man looked at Tyson and then said in a kind grandfatherly voice, "Thank you young man."
"Has anyone from this cell been taken recently?" Mizu asked.
The old man nodded and said, "A little girl named Erza Scarlet was taken for punishment about three minutes before you came."
Tyson began to panic, the voice's owner maybe in pain, all because he was too slow, now he was very pissed.
"Where did they go?" He asked.
The old man nodded and said, "They said they were taking her to the punishment room. It is about two floors above us and three corridors to the left."
"Alright, here's the deal. While he goes after the cultists who took Erza, the rest of you will follow me to the armory so you can arm yourselves to fight back."
The old man nodded and then said, "Good luck."
Tyson nodded and then pointed his face towards the ceiling and then shot a stream of fire into the ceiling, melting it.
After a few seconds, there was now a hole that went several floors up, the same floor where the punishment room is located.
He then flew into the air using his flames to propel himself into the air.
Once he was on the same floor as the punishment room, Tyson closed his eyes and tried to locate the brightest stop in the ocean of darkness.
It took a few seconds, but he found her and once he did, he went running for her.
With Erza...
Erza screamed out in pain as bolts of electricity went charging throughout her body.
After a few seconds, the charge died down and Erza slumped forwards in her chair, heavily breathing.
Erza had been taken for trying to start a revolution and now was facing the consequences for her actions.
"You think she learned her lesson?" One of her torturers said.
"Na, we have to really break her and I know just the way." His partner said as he then pulled out a large knife.
He then walked over to Erza, grabbed her hair roughly and yanked her head up.
The man smiled wickedly behind his mask as he brought the knife closer to the terrified girl's left eye.
"This is your punishment for challenging our authority little brat. You are our slave and you will do our bidding until the time we deem you are no longer of any use." He said as the knife came even closer.
Erza closed her eye's are prepared for the pain, but just as the knife was about to cut into her flesh, a loud explosion rang out.
The wall in front of Erza exploded, sending debris everywhere and knocking the second torturer out.
Erza coughed from all the dust that was in the air, which also prevented her from seeing who caused all of this.
From within the dust cloud, two orange eyes came into existence.
These eyes were of no human, they were of a demon, a creature of vast power of destruction.
Her other torturer came up and placed the knife close t her throat and yelled, "Stop right there, or I will kill this bitch!"
The eye's stayed right where they were, but then several arches of green electricity appeared and then struck the man in the chest.
He screamed in pain as he fell to the floor, but then he was pulled up by his throat by strong hand and then he was slammed into a wall.
The dust died down and revealed who caused all of this.
It was a ten year old boy who was wearing a black full body cloak that had a red dragon's head on the back and he looked pissed.
No pissed was an incorrect term, he looked positively furious, like he was about ready to kill somebody.
"Why?" He said in a low tone that was full of hatred and anger.
"What?" The guard stupidly said, right before he was brutally smashed into the wall behind him.
"Why? Why do you enjoy inflicting pain upon others so much? What gives you the right to place yourself above others in such a way?" The boy asked again in the same tone.
"We are followers of Zeref, we shall be the ones that build a perfect world with him. Only we are the ones that are capable of such a thing and so we are naturally better than everyone else." The man said.
The boy was silent for a few seconds before he unleashed a monstrous headbutt to the man's face, utterly destroying his nose, and breaking bone.
The man slumped to the floor, utterly unconscious and in a world of pain.
"A perfect world doesn't exist, neither does a perfect human being. Everyone has flaws and you guys are the worst this world has to offer. So, I'm destroying this place." The boy said in a cold tone.
The boy then turned towards her and ran over.
He then swiftly tore apart the restraints, but without them Erza started to fall towards the floor.
Tyson placed her gently in a chair. "Hey, you okay?"
Erza gasped, this boy was the owner of the voice that had been talking to her just before she goes to sleep at night.
"It's you." Erza said with awe.
"My name is Tyson Dragneel. What's yours?"
Erza then replied with, "Erza Scarlet."
"Cute name. It definitely fits you."
Erza gave a small blush at his compliments, she didn't know why she got so flustered when he complimented her, she just met him.
He then lifted her up bridal style, making Erza blush extremely hard.
"W-what are you doing?" Erza stuttered.
"Well, you can't walk, so I'm going to carry you for now." Tyson answered with a smile.
He then began to run, causing Erza to latch onto his neck using her arms.
Tyson ran through the corridors at high speed, all the while carrying a madly blushing Erza.
"I could get used to this. Him carrying me in his strong arms, it is really relaxing. I can't help, but feel safe and secured here." Erza thought as she snuggled closer to his chest.
'What the heck is going on? I can't explain why I feel like this, but ever since we met I have a natural drive to protect her, no matter the cost. She is also really beautiful and wait! Beautiful?! Where the heck did that come from?'
Tyson now had a large blush on his face too, prompting Erza to ask, "Are you alright?"
He grinned and said, "Y-yeah, e-everything is g-good."
She wasn't convinced, but decided not to question him any further.
The two continued their journey in silence until they came upon where the other freed slaves were, which is where Tyson then asked, "Can you stand?"
Erza nodded and then he gently set her down, where she stood on her two legs, which while hurting, did not stumble.
"Alright, listen up!"
This caused everyone to grown silent and then he continued. "There are 200 guards outside the tower, waiting to eliminate us. I have a way for us to escape. You will know the signal to run, once the signal has been sent, run towards the barrier which leads to where the boats are docked. I will take the barrier down and once it is down, everyone is get onto a boat as quickly as you can, and you are too help others as well, I don't want to see anyone here run off with their own private boat. Anyone who does this, I will hunt you down and make you pay. Understood?"
Everyone nodded, they had all seen what this kid can do, so he can definitely back up his threats.
"Come on!"
He led the five hundred slaves towards the courtyard, where the 175 remaining guards were waiting for them.
Tyson then sent the mental signal and then hell was unleashed.
All of the Magma Core Implosions he had placed detonated at once, causing a hellish amount of flames to erupt, knocking out 160 of the guards all at once and the remaining fifteen were disoriented, confused and in no condition to try and stop the slaves.
The slaves then bolted, running towards the barrier as fast as their legs could carry them.
He saw the remaining guards starting to get up, so he turned towards them and yelled out, "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!"
Tyson ran at the guards, a "V" of fire being created from his back, which he slammed into the guards, knocking all 10 of them out with no problem.
What he didn't know was that a single guard was still conscious and was right behind him, with a dagger ready to be stuck in his back.
Erza saw this with widened eyes, she could not allow another person to die here, not again!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She yelled as all of her feelings of rage, anger, pain, suffering, loss, and helplessness came out of her all at once as a giant red magic circle appeared above her and then shockingly, many of the dropped guard weapons floated into the air and then rushed into the remaining guard.
The guard was a second from stabbing him when he was struck by a hundred different weapons at once, knocking him clean out.
Tyson turned to her in shock after seeing the large magic circle. He felt a incredible amount of magic power that was suppressed by her feelings, he would have never thought she would break the seal and unleash all of her power at once.
Erza then wobbled on her feet and then fell over, having exhausted her magic all at once with that little display.
He rushed over to her and said, "Are you okay?"
Erza nodded and said, "I never knew using magic was so exhausting."
Tyson said, "It is. I have a lot of magic due to 6 years of training. You just need some practice and I can tell you will be an absolute beast in combat."
Erza smiled and gave a small yelp as he picked her up bridal style again.
"How cute." He said, rubbing his face against Erza's.
Erza's face was now redder than a tomato and she couldn't form a single sentence as her brain short-circuited.
Tyson then ran towards the barrier and saw the remaining slaves waiting for him.
He then laid Erza down gently and approached the barrier.
Tyson coated his fist in crimson fire and shouted. "Crimson Fire Dragon Cataclysm Fist!"
His fist smashed into the barrier and blew a massive chunk out of it, allowing himself and the slaves access to the boats, which they were all running for.
Tyson, Erza, the kind elderly man, whose name was Rob, a teen with brown spiky hair and Erza's friends Jellal, Simon, Millianna, Sho and Wally all stayed back to make sure everyone got onto the boats.
After all the other now freed slaves left, Tyson said, "Get on the boat and leave."
"There's one last thing for us to do before we join you." Mizu added.
The group nodded and then went to the last boat and cast off as they looked at the two.
"Let's finish this once and for all."
Tyson then concentrated on the power within and within seconds, his entire form was engulfed by intense golden flames.
He then flew to the top to the tower and then shouted out in a voice like thunder, "HIDDEN FIRE FORM: CRIMSON LOTUS: PHOENIX BLADE!"
Tyson's golden flame covered form then became even more intense and then he charged forwards.
He flew to the very top of the tower and smashed down through the upper floors.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Water Rocket!"
Mizu flew up in the air and smashed through the lower floors of the tower.
Erza, Jellal, Simon, Wally, Sho, Millianna, the spiky brown haired boy and Rob looked in awe as both Dragon Slayers destroyed the awful tower that had kept them prisoner for so long.
Tyson then created a massive fiery tornado that sucked all the oxygen from the island and this knocked out all the Zeref Cultists, allowing the Rune Knights that were coming to take them prisoner without any complications.
He smirked, those Zeref Cultists may be monsters, but they still deserve a chance to return to the light.
Tyson then flew over to where Erza's group was and then landed in the boat as the golden flames left him.
He was panting a little, so Erza then asked, "Are you okay?"
Tyson grinned at her and said, "Yeah, it's just the fact that I have been fighting for several hours now and the fact I used some of my most powerful moves and I just sucked away all the oxygen around an island, not easy."
He was then engulfed in a massive hug, with Erza now clinging to him as several tears went down her face.
Tyson was now panicking, what was wrong, did he do something wrong? he didn't know, so he asked, "Are you alright?"
Erza nodded and said, "I am just so happy. Me and my friends are now free, we can now decide our own fates, and that is all thanks to you. So thank you."
"Heh." The spiky brown-haired boy snorted. "About time that godforsaken tower was destroyed."
Mizu heard his statement and then asked him something, "What's your name?"
"Ryu Yamamoto. I'm a Dragon Slayer as well and my dragon's name is Deathwing."
Tyson grinned at her and said, "It was nothing. I couldn't just stand by as you and your friends suffered."
Erza smiled and then leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
His brain froze when he felt Erza's lips on his cheek, his face then decided to do an impression of a tomato and it was a very good impression, while steam came out of ear's and then he fainted.
Everyone on the boat started to panic, was he hurt, when they heard laughter.
Looking over to Grandpa Rob, they saw the old man laughing so hard there were tears rolling down his face.
"Grandpa Rob, what's wrong with him?" Jellal asked, worried that the boy who gave them freedom might be hurt.
After Grandpa Rob regained his breath he said, "It is okay Jellal. Tyson here has fainted from Erza's kiss. It is funny, the boy can stand up to hundreds of enemies without breaking a sweat, he can output enough power to cut an island in half, but one kiss from a girl and he faints."
Rob moved Tyson a little so he would be under the shade of the sail of their small boat.
Rob and the others traveled in silence, reveling in their newfound freedom.
Erza stared over to him and saw that on his face was a small blush and a giant smile.
Erza smiled as well and then started to fall asleep, the day's taxing exercises starting to get to her.
She moved over to Tyson and cuddled up to him and was soon asleep with a soft smile gracing her lips.
Several hours later...
The sun was starting to set when Tyson started to wake up.
He opened his eyes and saw a few strands of red hair to his left.
Tyson looked over and saw Erza's sleeping form cuddled up to his left side.
He smiled as he looked at her sleeping face, her soft breathing melodious to his ears.
"She is the cutest thing I have ever seen when she is asleep. Wait, cute?! Where did that come from?! What is happening to me?!" Tyson thought.
He then saw the other's were asleep as well and just decided to settle in.
Tyson then heard voices and when he looked at their direction, he saw they were maybe twenty minutes away from the port he left from to get to the Tower of Heaven.
He then started to gently shake Erza while saying, "Erza, wake up."
Erza slowly awoke and saw him smiling at her.
"Wait, it wasn't some crazy dream? I really am free?" Erza thought.
She then saw the port as well and a few tears started to fill her eyes.
"Time to wake the others up."
Erza nodded and then she and Tyson awoke the others.
After twenty minutes, the boat silently slide into the dock and then the small group disembarked from the boat.
Tyson then turned to Rob and said, "So, what shall we do now?"
Rob then rubbed his chin and said, "Wally, Simon, Millianna, Sho and Jellal, I think it would be best if you were given to an orphanage. there you can get family that will take care for you."
Said members didn't like that idea to much, but Rob held up his hand and they quieted down and he then said, "You need loving parents and a good home to wipe away the horror you have been forced to endure. I know you don't want this, but this is for the best."
They still weren't happy, but they knew it was best to listen to Rob's wisdom, so they reluctantly agreed.
The small group then walked over to the town orphanage and told the head lady the situation.
She immediately agreed to take them in and soon the entire group had new clothes and had showered and had eaten to their hearts content.
Right now the little group was settling into real beds for the fist time in a long time, it was the first time Tyson had ever slept in a bed before and then moment his back hit the mattress, he fell in love with how soft it was.
He, Mizu, Jellal, Ryu, Simon, Sho, Wally and Rob were all sharing a room, while Millianna and Erza where sharing a room.
Soon, his heavy eyelids closed shut and he fell into a deep peaceful sleep.
Time skip...
When morning came, Tyson and the other boys got up, got showered, put on some clothes and then went downstairs to get breakfast.
After five minutes, Millianna came and so did Erza, both in their new clothes.
Erza had on a black pair of pants, a sky blue T-shirt, some brown shoes and she has a two light purple wrist guards, while a pink bow is wrapped around her neck.
He stopped eating and just stared at her, his brain has shut down completely.
Erza saw Tyson staring at her with a slight blush of his face and now she has a slight blush on her own face and she then says to him, "So what do you think?"
Tyson's brain restarts and then he says, "I think it looks amazing!"
Erza now had a larger blush on her face and she quickly left to go calm herself down and get some food.
Once Erza and Millianna got their breakfast, Rob then asks, "So Natsu, what magic do you use? I have never seen anything like that before in my life."
Tyson smiled and says, "I use Fire Dragon Slayer and Lightning Dragon Slayer magic, plus I have a few others subset spells that I can use."
Rob looked absolutely shocked, a mage with TWO different dragon slayer magics? That has never been heard of before.
Erza then asks, "So, how did you learn that magic?"
Tyson smiles and says, "My dad taught it to me."
Simon then asks, "So, who was your dad?"
He smiles even more and says, "My dad is Igneel, the Fire Dragon King."
Jellal nods and says, "That is a weird name for a human."
Tyson laughs and says, "Igneel wasn't a human, he was a DRAGON."
"So was Shikingu." Mizu added.
The entire table looks shocked, both these boys were taught by a dragon, the mightiest creatures to walk Earthland?! It was simply astounding.
Rob gets out of his stupor and says, "So that explains the Fire Dragon Slayer magic, but what about your Lightning Slayer magic?"
He then sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and says, "Well, one night I heard thunder coming from outside of the cave I grew up in and I then had the brilliant idea to see if I could use my Fire Dragon Slayer magic to redirect lightning. So I went outside and climbed to the top of the cave, where I drew a Dragon Glyph, a subset of Fire Dragon Slayer magic that does a certain thing, like drawing lightning towards a certain spot. Once the glyph was drawn, numerous lightning bolts came down towards me and I used Fire Dragon's Iron Fist to knock the lightning bolt away from me, but I still got shocked, so I decided to continue on. After about four hours of perfecting my lightning redirection technique, I ate some of the fire created by the redirected lightning."
"Wait, wait, wait. You can eat fire?" Wally asked.
"Of course." Tyson answered. "However, I can't eat fire that I produced. Otherwise, I get extremely sick."
The younger members of the table looked at Natsu with awe, he was become cooler and cooler.
Tyson then continued his story, saying, "Anyway, as I saying, I ate some of the fire I accidentally created when I redirected the lightning to replenish my magic supply. But as I was doing that, I accidentally swallowed a lightning bolt."
The entire table gasped at that, he ate a lightning bolt?
He then said, "When I swallowed that lightning bolt, it was the absolute worst pain I have ever felt. It felt as if every single nerve in my body was lit on fire. But then, beneath all the pain, I felt something. A charge that wasn't there before hand. So I focused on that and suddenly, my entire body is now encased in both fire and lightning at the same time."
The table's occupants were really dumbfounded at that one, Tyson can combine fire and lightning together? Can he possibly get any cooler? (hehehehehe. Oh if only you knew)
He continued his story by saying, "After that, my dad found my like that and said we were going to see an old friend of his, the Lightning Dragon King Thundreas. Igneel and I journeyed to him and after explaining the situation, Thundreas then taught me Lightning Dragon Slayer magic and that is how I achieved the ability to use Lightning Dragon Slayer magic."
The entire table just sat there in silence, that is how he got the ability to use Lightning Dragon Slayer magic on top of his already power Fire Dragon Slayer magic? Incredible.
Rob then said, "That is very interesting. Could you also tell me what those golden flames you used at the Tower of Heaven were?"
"Ever heard of Dragon Force?"
Rob's jaw dropped, DRAGON FORCE?! As in the ultimate form of a Dragon Slayer can achieve? And this boy can use it freely whenever he wants? Mind blowing.
"What's Dragon Force?" Simon asked.
He explained. "It's the strongest form a Dragon Slayer can access. It grants us power that exceeds a dragon, at least that's what the stories say. I say without a doubt it didn't make me stronger than Igneel."
The entire table sat in silence at that little fact, just how powerful is he?
Tyson asked Rob, "So what are you going to do now?"
Rob then said, "I am going to head back to my guild."
"Guild?"
Rob then said, "A guild is a place where a bunch of mages gather to do jobs and earn money, while also gaining experience."
"Awesome, could I join your guild?"
Rob chuckled and said, "But of course child. I was hoping you would come with me back to my guild."
"Could Erza join us?"
Simon grew confused, "Erza? She isn't a mage."
"That's where you're wrong, Simon." Mizu corrected him.
"When one of those cultists was about to stab me in the back, she grew angry and then about a hundred of the dropped weapons flew up and smashed into the guy. When I turned around, Erza had a enormous magic circle above her head."
Everyone at the table turned towards Erza, who became very uncomfortable with all the attention and said, "I did do that."
Sho then says, "Do you really have magic Erza?"
Erza nodded and concentrated and a red magic circle appeared before left hand.
Everyone looked at the magic circle with awe, but then it closed and Erza said, "Sorry, that takes a lot out of me."
"That happens to everyone who starts using magic." Ryu reassured her.
Rob nodded and said, "Learning magic is a very difficult thing at the best of times Erza. Don't worry, you will get it."
He then turned back to Erza and said, "So, want to come with me and Rob to his guild?"
Erza looked down for a few seconds and looked back at Tyson and said, "Yes, I want to learn how to use my magic."
"That's smart. I'm accompanying you so I can learn to use my magic properly as well." Mizu replied.
He smiled and so did Rob, who said, "Then say your goodbyes. We have a long journey ahead of us. It will take about a day or more by train to get to my guild. I will go and get the train tickets. Tyson, come with me please."
"Sure thing." He said as he and Rob left to go get the train tickets, and to give Erza some privacy to say good bye.
Erza looked at her friends and said, "I don't want to leave, but I want to learn how to use my magic. I could help so many people with it and..."
Jellal held up his hand, silencing her and said, "Erza, we understand and we support your decision."
Erza looked at the rest of her friends and said, "Really?"
"Of course. I'm also considering Fairy Tail. After 8 years in that infernal tower, I need to adjust to society once again." Ryu told Erza.
Millianna nodded and then gave her a hug, saying, "We know and understand and we fully support your decision."
Simon then said, "Yeah, it's not like you're not going to be our friend anymore, your just leaving to better yourself."
Wally then said, "We shall meet again, it's inevitable. We are friends and we shall remain friends forevermore."
Sho nodded as well and said, "We will never abandon you, just as you never abandoned us."
All her friends then wrapped her in a group hug and Jellal said, "No matter where you go nor how far you travel, we are and always shall remain family."
Erza had tears running down her face at a ferocious pace and she said in a shaky voice, "Thank you all for being the best family I could have ever asked for."
Her friends smiled at her and said, "You're welcome."
Simon then said, "You should get going."
Erza nodded and then walked away, but before she left, she stopped and then turned and waved one last time to her friends.
They all waved back to her and then Erza walked out and headed towards the train station.
Once she got there, she found Tyson, Ryu, Mizu and Rob waiting for her by the train.
Natsu smiled and ran over and said, "You ready?"
Erza nodded and then the four of them plus Rob walked onto the train.
After a few minutes wait, the train started off and left the train station.
He and Erza were by the window, while Rob was on the other side reading a pamphlet he had gotten.
Tyson then turned to Rob and said, "So Rob, you never told us what the name of the Guild we are going to is called."
Rob looked at them and said a simple sentence that changed the course of his and Erza's life, "It's called Fairy Tail."
With that sentence uttered, we leave our heroes on the train that is headed towards Magnolia Town, the city that is home to the greatest and strongest guild in all of Fiore, Fairy Tail.
The wheels of fate have started to turn and now they can't be stopped, as the future two strongest wizards this world has ever seen take their first steps towards their grand destiny.
The Knight and the Dragon have united and now evil's greatest foes have arisen and now, the whole world shall never be the same ever again.
