A/N: Hi guys! Guess who's back?
That's right everyone! I'm the officially the new author for Slayers of DxD.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the previous author is unable to continue the story. And there was another before him who did the story as well. I will be sure to note it in the disclaimer that this isn't my original story to begin with but I got to get something off my chest.
First I would like to thank both original authors of Slayers of DxD for the stories they put forth. That and I would like to send love and prayers to dude932. Also, I humbly ask that you guys do it too. He gave us good stories while being a member of the site and his works will be missed. He gave me his blessing and permission to adopt this story and mold it as I see fit. I will do my best to not let him or any of you guys down.
Second… not that long ago the world lost an innovator. Stan Lee was a US Army Veteran from the days of World War II and one of the founding fathers of Marvel Comics. Honestly, you can't think of Marvel Comics without thinking of Stan Lee at the same time. His creativity and personality led to the creation of a lot of our favorite heroes. In my opinion, the characters he created helped inspire a lot of us on what kind of heroes we all want to be. We may not wear capes, have an indestructible shield or even cool spider powers but we still have our potential as all human beings do as well as our values. We can be heroes and contribute to society in the best ways possible and we don't need powers to do so. Excelsior and Long Live Stan 'The Man' Lee!

Now on with the Prologue!
Tale of Two Worlds
The Multiverse Theory…
According to many, it stems from theories on Parallel Earths and the Universe at large. The theory also draws conclusions from theories relevant to time and space as well.
The theory goes something like this…
For every world you live in, for every universe you live in there is a replica, carbon copy or identical twin out there in a universe that houses such a world. Each of the worlds can be similar or they can be different. And out in the Multiverse, some universes are exact polar opposites of each other while others don't share any relation at all.
This theory paints a very complicated picture for some who study it or ever even consider thinking about it. But none would think this theory would impact a story of a unique nature that takes place in not one but two worlds.
Earth…
Birth place of the human race…
From orbit this blue orb forms a beautiful view. On this blue orb is home to millions of people, animals and plant life alike. But Earth is also home to beings from the stars as well as beings from the Supernatural.
Long ago, Biblical God (Christianity, Catholic Faith, Judaism, Islam) had cast out his children, angels who rejected his teachings and principles essentially exiling them. These angels who literally and figuratively fell from heaven were known as "Fallen" or Fallen Angels and joined the Devils as occupants within the Underworld also known as Hell. At that moment in time and recorded history: The Angels and Heaven, The Devils and Hell along with The Fallen Angels were regarded as The Three Factions.
In the aftermath of God's decision, the neighboring deities simply watched from afar and observed events that had no consequence to them. But they knew for a fact that tensions were running high and it wouldn't be long before things got out of hand and blood would be shed. So the Norse Gods, the Olympian Deities (Greek and Roman Gods), the Egyptian Deities and every other deity known sought each other's counsel in secret from the Three Factions that were bound to go war at any given time. Many opinions were shared as to who would do what and what action would be taken should war take place. The consensus among most of the gods was that they would not take advantage of the weakened state of the Three Factions in the aftermath of War should it take place. They also agreed that no one on their side would aid any faction for satisfaction or gain. In all they would carry out their duties while anticipating the time bomb and friction of three different races aiming at each other's throats.
The Great War…
It is the name of a conflict that would scar the factions of Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels for years. Some battles were won, others were lost. Love… passion… hatred… bravery… rage… sadness… for all the emotions that accompanied it, the war left no true victor. All three sides shared two things in common: pure carnage that inflicted heavy losses and great sacrifice.
For the Angels, God had died.
For the Devils, the Four Great Satans fell.
And although no leader was lost on the side of the Fallen, their numbers were reduced even more so than when hostilities began.
In the end, exhaustion and fatigue plagued the very souls of all three sides drawing them into an unspoken armistice that would have done nothing in the future. Occasional battles still occurred for generation upon generation to the current time.
And what of the other Gods? What did they do? What could they do?
The Norse Gods dealt with the occasional chaos that reigned in the other realms but never really lost the power they already possessed. Of course as time passed, Odin wanted to bridge a more peaceful future for all and approached two of the three factions that just went to war. It was and still is his hope that one day humanity would never bear witness to the useless slaughter that was the Great War. Sadly, humanity brought war upon themselves for century upon century which made Odin realize a cruel irony of how war was a universal thing.
The Egyptian Gods went about their usual business. Even in the modern age, they were respected and acknowledged for all they did for the different societies of the past. They remained close with the other factions but wanted nothing to do with the factions involved in the Great War.
Other gods sided with the Norse in support of wanting peace talks between the Angels, Devils and Fallen for the sake of the future along with humanity's protection in the long run. In a sense they wanted to honor the Biblical God's will in protecting all creation and wanting to cultivate life not seek death.
As for the Gods that sat upon Olympus and the Titans who disappeared at some point…
The story of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses took a strange turn. Why you may ask?
It had something to do with the fact the Biblical God created the ultimate weapons known as Sacred Gears, powerful tools of warfare that if in a certain tier could slay Gods in several or even in a single blow. Not only that, God decided that these mystic, god slaying weapons be put in the hands of his creation… Humanity.
Given humanity's limitless potential in both good and bad areas of the spectrum when it comes to anything, the Gods that sat on Olympus collaborated with the Egyptian Gods on creating sacred gears of their own. Once an agreement was reached, the denizens of Olympus proceeded to make highly powered weapons that not only rivaled but exceeded a majority of the Sacred Gears that God of the Bible created, including the ones deemed in the category "Longinus". Any weapons the Egyptians wanted forged for their own purposes; the Olympians complied with no hesitance. All of this was done in secret and to top it all off, the Gods of Olympus went above and beyond when forging their secret arsenal which would go on to be named "Pieces of Eden".
The weapons forged by the Olympians were given this title for two reasons. First, they were given the name as a way to honor the Biblical God. And Second, they were given this name due to the Olympian and Egyptian deities interacting with a race from another universe known as the Isu. The Isu's origin of course is a tale for another time not to be told in place of this one.
Time passed and before long, humanity evolved to what it is now today. Knowledge of the Supernatural is limited of course but the fate of a select few will change the course of the story of all for years to come. But that story does not start here on Earth.
Earth Land…
This is the land where magic rules.
Earth Land is in many ways similar to Earth but different as well. Here, humanity evolved but with a much different history.
Each major section of time in history for Earth Land was regarded as an Era. For each Era there were turning points in the history of the world. In the beginning there was only the world, Earth Land's plant life and the moon. Time progressed and before long, Earth Land was inhabited by many creatures whom differed in shape, size and intelligence.
The two most notable inhabitants were Dragons and Demons.
Dragons were massive, reptilian creatures who wielded magical abilities that rivaled the strongest mages and showed a greater capacity for battle than some of the most well-known warriors. When humanity and other humanoid like races came into existence, there was a noticeable change in the behavior. Dragons of course weren't mindless beasts like the ones told in myth, rather they were a lot like a tribal type of society. For every tribe there was a clear head of the pack that demanded the respect of his or some cases her peers.
Nevertheless, political divide had fractured the Dragon Community due to the key issue on Dragon relations with humans. Some Dragons saw the humans as sustenance while others saw them as friends and fellow inhabitants of their small blue world. It posed a question that would leave repercussions for generations to come: Who is truly king? Man or Dragon?
The Broken relations between the two races (and to extent everyone else) lead to what would become known as The Dragon King Festival.
The Dragon King Festival became an all-out war of annihilation, survival and the dawn of new horizons in the world of magic.
Like the Great War of Earth, The Dragon King Festival was costly on all sides. The Dragons that went to war against humans took minimal losses before the appearance of Dragon Slayers, humans who learned magic straight from their Dragon allies. Once the Dragon Slayers entered, they had turned the eventual tide of the war but there were consequences that made themselves obvious in towards the end of the war that led to their eventual damnation. The Dragons that were allied with humans and even the majority of the ones that declared their neutrality, didn't see the end of the war they desired like their fellow Dragons that had sought the humans annihilation.
The end of the result of The Dragon King Festival led to the perceived extinction of the majestic beasts who ruled Earth Land from both the skies and the ground. Any survivors of the race of Dragons went underground or were hunted down. Another result of The Dragon King Festival was the self-proclaimed crowing of a man… no the ultimate hybrid of Dragon and Human blood who went by the name of Acnologia. His arrival was the beginning of the end for Dragon and Dragon Slayers alike. Even those who were pure human faced his fearsome power if they dared stand in his way. His self-crowning led to rebuke due to the unintentional (really intentional) mockery of those who died, including the Dragons who the humans had come to respect immensely. Like the Great War on Earth, there were no true winners.
But in this long, bloody saga where were the Demons, the other notable race besides Dragons? It goes something like this…
Demons of Earth Land shared many similarities to the Devils of Earth although there were clear differences between the two. Back on Earth, pureblood demons were regarded as powerful ancestors and warriors of the Devils themselves since the true Lucifer had fallen from heaven. Not only that, after the Great War, the demons had longed been considered extinct and any survivors that happened to be found were no longer intelligible creatures that the Devils once looked up to. But that wasn't the only thing that differed between the two. Devils had formed their own society in the Underworld while the Demons had a presence in both Earth Land and their own version of Hell. How so? It came down to the fact that Demons came in varying shapes, sizes and even moral allegiances. Which brings us to the next interesting topic of this story…
Fairy Tail…
Do Fairies have tails? Do Fairies even exist?
Those two questions posed by a young, gifted female wizard led to the founding and creation of a magic guild called Fairy Tail. Since its inception, Fairy Tail alongside many other light guilds have been a major part of the Kingdom of Fiore's shining shield against the forces of darkness. As a guild and a family, the proud members of Fairy Tail had experienced everything from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.
Fairy Tail's strongest team had lived up to its name when they defeated the dark guild Eisenwald and Lullaby, a demon from the Book of Zeref.
When Galuna Island's friendly Demon denizens were cursed, Fairy Tail's strongest team once again rose to the occasion both intentionally and unintentionally in saving not just the citizens but the Island as well.
When the formerly known 2nd Best Guild in the nation challenged Fairy Tail in a guild war that lasted a day, it was all hands on deck for every member of the guild. Each person played their role in not only defeating Phantom Lord and its best members but saving one of their own from a fate she did her best to avoid.
The Guild Alliance against the Oracion Seis…
The fight against Daphne and her artificial beast horde…
The weird adventure to Edolas…
Defending the sacred grounds of Tenrou Island from Grimmoire Heart…
Saving the Kingdom from the threats of the Infinity Clock and the reborn Phoenix…
Winning the Grand Magic Games…
Saving the Kingdom from the Dragons of the Eclipse Gate…
Ending the Celestial Rebellion…
And now…
The guild of many mages dreams… the very men, women and children who defended the innocent, fought side by side with fellow mages from allied guilds… were now in the last stretch of a desperate battle against the last true Dark Guild comprised entirely of demons from the Book of Zeref.
The Year is X791…
The battle between Fairy Tail and company against the dark guild Tartaros is coming to its dramatic conclusion. And on the horizon, a new adventure will begin…
A/N: And there is… the Prologue!
Sorry guys but this isn't the Slayers of DxD that you came to know the first two times. This is a much different story this time around but with the same general theme: sending Natsu and Gray to DxD-verse. Only this time they won't be going alone. And that's where you guys come in. I have a poll on my profile where you guys can decide goes to DxD-verse with our Fire and Ice duo. Option 1 is where Happy accompanies them on their chaotic trip through the dimensional gap. Option 2… well it's self-explanatory. Anna and Irene are tagging along with the group in Option 2. How? I'll work magic on my end in making that work. For me personally, I'm open to choosing one or doing both. But given the circumstances that I'm still doing another story as well as this one, I'm asking my fellow authors and the good readers for help in making a decision.
As for timetable on getting the first real chapter published… I'm aiming to have one or two done before Christmas. And by the time we ring in the New Year, I'll luckily have the third chapter ready for your enjoyment.
Now before I go, let me clarify some things on what you just read.
1) Given my limited knowledge on anything and everything DxD, I will do my best when it comes to delivering a story that's worth reading. Meaning I will be binge reading the manga, watching as many episodes of the anime as possible (if I don't cringe too much and die from my hate… *cough* …strong dislike of Issei), and utilizing the wiki page for DxD.
2) I have extensive knowledge on most things Fairy Tail. I'm not a super fan but I love the series even though it isn't my number one. That and in order to make sure I get some facts right, I check the wiki for Fairy Tail too. Lol
Seriously though, I'll get the Season Pass for the Final Season and binge watch it even though I already read Volumes 50 through 63 that cover what I know will happen.
3) There will be guest appearances from other series like the one you no doubt read. In addition to that, elements from other franchises will be present just to mix things up a little. If you want to see Natsu and Gray use specific weapons, I will put up a poll but chances are I'll be rolling with the weapons I already determined for them. Same goes for the group they lead should you guys choose Option 2 in terms of the story you want.
4) The Prologue as I said is an introduction for fans new and old to either series. Plus I'm aiming for more depth in the story in terms of what is going on behind the scenes with a lot of the major powers in play.
5) Will Earth Land get their own gods? Let me rephrase that. Will Fairy Tail-verse get additional deities to the ones already known in the series? Yes they will. Four some of you are no doubt already acquainted. The ones you will see are not the OCs I have for my Fairy Tail story still in development. Earth Land's powerful set of Deities will more or less come from another franchise. Who are they? Speculate. One of you might get it right on the first try.
6) Flashbacks will appear throughout the story to help paint a picture for relationship between characters. Flashbacks will also be used to help paint a clear picture of past events, being the backdrop to events that happen in the story.
7) Any recommendations for cover images, please let me know via PM!
Review section is now open to comments, compliments, criticisms and any snarky remarks about characters or the story.
You guys have been wonderful! Thank you to all my fellow readers and authors. Continue to let your creativity take you places and never be afraid to inspire others.
See Ya Later!
