Don't Own Fairy Tail, or 'essences' Only The Oc
'thought'
"Speech"
"Powerful Creatures Speaking, like a dragon or a god"
"Lacrima, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."
I weakly crack open my eyes, a white ceiling is all I can see for a moment.
'ugh. I feel like shit.'
My body aches... which is unusual... I don't think I have ever felt pain in this world.
Spikes of pain travel down the length of my left arm, and my right hand and chest has a deep ache. Not as bad as I should be feeling, more than likely, but more pain than I am used to. Perhaps it's a result of not being in combat any longer?
I sit up with a shaky gasp, glancing around the dull room, wooden panels line the wall, there's a small painting in on the wall of a snowy landscape, there's some form of Iv drip at the side of my bed.
I look down to see Mavis sat in a chair beside me, she seems to have fallen asleep, she leans over the foot of the bed with her face pressed down against the mattress.
I nudge her shoulder with my telekinesis magic.
My magic container isn't quite full, yet it certainly more full than it was yesterday. Roughly seventy five to eighty percent compared to yesterday's thirty-five.
If Gajeel and pirate guy were to fight me now I'd be able to defeat each of them fairly easily.
I prod the girl again with my magic, causing her to let out a weak groan and shift slightly, she seems to settle back into a comfortable position and stops stirring.
I poke her again with my telekinesis.
She seems to stay still for a moment before- She suddenly explodes into movement, her eyes snap open as she leaps to her feet, worry etched across her face. "Pierce?! You're awake! Are you alright?! UGH! I was so STUPID! You got hurt p-protecting me!"
"Hurt?" I question with a weak smile.
'ah fuck. This'll break the bank, but I'd rather be on my feet.'
'I purchase all of my wounds.'
And with that, the remainder of my funds drops to about twenty thousand jewel.
Mavis watches in wonder as I am surrounded by a blue glow, in the next moment I stand up, taking a deep breath.
"WH- LAY BACK DOWN! YOU NEARLY DIED- oh... you just bought all of your wounds and discarded them... didn't you?"
"Indeed." I smirk, only for my smile to be wiped out of my face. "But regretfully my spending has seriously dropped my funds... I barely have as much as I did when I first got to Magnolia... but at least I am better off than I was back then. I have legitimate magics now."
She stares at the floor and bites her lip, tears seem to well in her eyes. "I-I you were forced to fight and you got hurt because I-I didn't want to stand out... you were forced to spend an incredible amount just to protect me, someone who could have protected herself! Why?!"
"I believe that everyone deserves to be happy... and if happiness for you requires you to hide your strength, I will fight tooth and nail to let you keep your powers suppressed." I smile as I step around the bed and place a hand on the small girl's shoulders.
Her breath hitches as I turn and walk towards the door. My shirt is nowhere to be seen, but numerous tightly wrapped bandages covers my chest, at least I kept my pants.
I let out a low hum as an idea comes to mind, I hold up a fingertip a purple magic circle forming atop it.
"Threat make: Shirt."
A line of black thread shoots from the magic circle and begins swiftly wrapping around my body.
I can tell quickly that this just isn't working.
"Well..." I sigh, slowly tugging numerous loose loops of thread off my body, they had merely been wrapping around my upper torso, not even forming a loosely woven cloth.
"It appears I will need to get some actual experience in sewing before I try anything more complex than a rope with thread magic." I announce with a frown as I bunch up the thread and toss it aside. "Shame."
I turn to look at the girl once more. "So, what has happened recently?"
The girl seems to fight off her distraught and guilty state, my little act with my string magic seems to have lifted her spirits slightly, but the thought of what fairy tail is going through seems to bring down her mood.
"Most of the guild's best fighters left to take the fight to Phantom Lord's main guild house a couple of hours ago, they should be back either today or tomorrow." She responds quietly.
"Come on, let us converse as we travel." I suggest as I gesture to the door.
"Er- Right." she replies as I exit the room, I nearly bump into a nurse, offering the woman a slow nod as we proceed down the hall.
"Fairy Tail is split into two main groups, the first, our main combat force went to Phantom lord, while another smaller force has remained in Magnolia. Jellal and Erza are still slightly injured, so they are here along with team shadow gear and a few others. I split them in this manner because there was a ninety nine point four percent chance that Phantom lord would have had more of their mages within Magnolia in an attempt to grab kidnap Lucy when she was alone, knowing that she is a newer member of the guild and more than likely- and understandably- wouldn't feel safe taking part in a war..."
"And what if the main group fails?" I question.
"H-Huh?" The girl blinks owlishly, as if she hadn't even considered the possibility.
"What if the main group fails or is forced to make a retreat?" I question. "Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail are rivals for a reason. What if they have some form of weapon comparable to our fairy magics?"
The girl stops in her tracks, staring forwards, her eyes dart back and forth as she blankly looks at seemingly nothing, she quietly mutters calculations under her breath, seemingly deeply thinking on the topic.
"Oh... oh no... how could I be so foolish?! I was so assured of our victory I didn't even think to prepare any defenses here."
She rushes past me, grabbing my hand as she pulls me along. "Quickly! We need to get to the guild hall and make preparations!"
"Oh. Okay."
Mavis looms over a large map of the city a frown on her face.
"They were prepared for this..." She mutters lowly. "So more than likely they have gathered every single mage within their guild to attack us back... they presumably want to cause as little damage as possible to the city of Magnolia to stave off the ire of the Magic Council... considering the Fairy Tail guild hall's position, reasonably there is only one singular direction they can strike from..."
She taps a spot on the map twice with a finger. "The ocean."
She cups her chin, her pupil-less green eyes glaring down at the map. "The only issue is... I do not know how they plan to achieve this."
"Perhaps some form of ship like Blue Pegasus' Magical Bomber Christina?"
Her eyes glaze over for a second, seemingly remembering something, a frown crosses her face as she looks a down at the map. "Hn... maybe."
She looks around slowly, tapping her chin.
We are alone in the guild hall basement.
Sat before me are numerous potions, I'm contemplating each as the girl frets over the map.
Each of these holds one of the magics that I got from the Dark Guild Abyss Horn.
First and foremost, the strongest, Telekinesis, which is still a part of my body.
Secondly, Thread Make magic, which has been returned to a potion.
Leaf, Sand, Snow, Ash, Magnet, Fire, Wind, Needle, Fingernail, Lantern, and finally Ring magic.
I'd say it's about time to experiment...
I grab Sand and Fire, with a flash they turn into wispy smoke of tan and orange colors, both essences rise into the air and begins to swirl into a white smoky concoction.
In the next moment they have combined into a singular white smoke
Glass Magic.
I've made a new magic from two pieces, yet the 'understanding' it gives someone is incredibly low. Less than sand, which I would say is only slightly above a beginner's understanding.
The fire wizard actually had a fair understanding of his magic before I took it, which is why it's a little unusual that glass is starting at what is basically the equivalent of 'level one' mastery.
'oho this certainly holds some promise!'
I grab the Ash magic and add it to the glass magic, a potential destination in mind, the grey essence flows into the white wispy smoke and coalesces into a blackened dark magic smoke.
Obsidian magic... or rather, in its current form 'obsidian maker magic'.
badass
I was personally looking for 'Apocalypse Magic: Volcano' but this will do for now.
"Open: Gate of the Arrow, Sagitta."
A key appears in my grasp as I swing a hand lazily in front of me.
With a flash a blue gate opens up, the black arrow shooting out of the portal and hovering before me.
I grab the Wind magic essence and hold it up towards the arrow. "Take this."
The arrow shoots through the essence, shattering the bottle and showering its body with the potion, as I lift my other hand, two potions transform into their wispy magical forms, combine, and shoot into the arrow.
The arrow glows brightly for a moment-
*Poof*
It disappears.
I glance down to the key with a smirk.
Well now... this is just a little bit interesting.
Diver Magic, basic Wind Magic, and now Vine Make magic formed from Thread Make and Leaf Magic.
All of that was enough to push it to silver with some gold streaks.
The symbol on the handle has changed as well, instead of the singular arrow, it now has a trio of slightly bent arrows facing the same direction.
The light show seems to have distracted Mavis from the map for a moment.
I swing the key in front of myself. "Open: Gate of the Arrow, Sagitta"
With a loud 'wooshing' sound, a gate opens and a figure appears before me.
No longer is it an arrow...
Now, an ethereal being made of shadows stands before me, it is completely featureless, having no face, ears, hair, or clothing, and its body is made of a singular black color that doesn't vary at all throughout its body.
I can tell that it is... feminine... having the curves of a woman, it has arms, legs, hands, and fingers, but that's about it, really.
It honestly sort of looks like a stick person more than a 'spirit'.
It'll probably gain a legitimate appearance once it becomes- or rather- she becomes a golden spirit.
The figure stands there, looking over its body slowly.
A small vortex appears in one of her hands, only to be quickly snuffed out, then in the next moment, a line of vines appears in the other, the vines quickly arch and a small vine interconnects the two limbs, she gives the improvised bow a slight tug as the figure slowly looks over it.
The vines Decay as she wills it, looking over the room slowly.
"I will call you when I need it." I state, causing the featureless spirit to silently nod, still apparently in shock.
She disappears into motes of light a moment after.
"Spirits can evolve!" The girl gasps, for a moment her serious expression withered away into nothingness as she excitedly bounces. "That's AWESOME! Personally, I thought that it'd just gain some new abilities according to the magic you give it, and then maybe become more powerful as the key is upgraded, but WOW entirely new forms?! Does this mean there are new constellations being made? Should she still be called 'Saggita'?!"
"Mavis." I deadpan.
"Hm?" She hums brightly.
"Phantom Lord."
She flinches at those two words and looks back down at the map. "Oh... right."
"I have acquired snow, magnet, needle, ring, lantern, and fingernail magics... do you have any ideas on a magic weapon we could create with those?" I begin as I look to the six vials before me.
"Magnet might have some use-"
"It's an extremely low mastery of magnet magic. Barely above a beginner. Any item created from it will probably be highly inefficient and weak." I cut in.
She lets out a low click as she scratches her chin. "Hn..."
"Oh, it appears that the price of Jellal and Erza's magic is going down... they appear to be in a fight. Where are they, exactly? I may just assist them."
"A-Are you sure that's wise?! You said you are out of Jewel, correct?! You won't be able to use your main magic!"
"That is true... yet... at the same time, I cannot just remain here and let them fight on their own. Fairy tail is currently at war because I was injured. I will not sit on my hands while my friends and family are being attacked."
"They shouldn't be far from the guild hall... just down the pier. There's a café about thirteen blocks down the road. That's where master Makarov told them to stay."
I stand, requiping the potion vials back into my requip space- which has noticeably gotten slightly bigger due to my constant use of it- and turn to the staircase, with a quick jog, I make it to the first step.
"Wait!" The blonde calls out.
I blink slowly and look back. "Yeah?"
"It's dangerous... I... don't want you to get hurt because I-I'm a c-coward... so-"
"You are not a coward. Stop saying that you are. I won't stand anyone talking down to the people I care about. Even you to yourself."
"E-Eh?!" The girl flinches, a slight blush crossing her face.
She shakes her head and holds out a hand. "Take this just in case!"
"Huh?" I blink.
With a flash a dark red sigil appears around my wrist. It looks like a bracelet tattoo with the fairy tail guild mark prominently at the back of the wrist.
"Fairy... Gleam?" I mutter.
"It's a weaker version of one of the ten great fairy magics, Fairy Glitter. You shouldn't use fairy glitter within city limits because of how wide its area of affect is, so I gave you the knowledge of how to use the less destructive, smaller, version. Use it if you feel unsafe... you BETTER use it if you feel threatened, alright? Please be safe, a-alright?"
"Alright. Thank you, Mavis. I'll be sure to stay safe. And you had better stay safe as well." I thank with a small nod as I turn and leave the guild's basement.
(Pov: Within the basement.)
The first master of fairy tail has a... dilemma...
She cups her cheeks as a scarlet blush crosses her face. "W-Why did he say that?!"
P-People he cares about?!
That was not a good thing to say...
That was not a good thing to say to HER in particular...
Because she MAY have been crushing on him since she was like... five years old and didn't even understand the concept of 'love'.
But... he changed her life for the better...
The Red Lizard guild was a magic guild that was destroyed nearly one hundred years ago... her parents were a part of it... until they died, then she was treated as more or less a dirty orphan by the guild, she was forced to sweep, given ragged and ratty clothes, they didn't even give her shoes!
It was honestly... a pretty sad life, but it was Her's to live... it's why she set the standard for Fairy Tail to be a legitimate family instead of more business oriented back when she created it.
Then they were attacked by the dark guild, Blue Skull, all because they wanted to steal the treasure of Red Lizard, the Tenrou Jade. An item that was named after the island Red Lizard was based upon... her home...
That's when he appeared, during the raid on the island, he showed up, bought her wounds, and then got her to safety, then he simply vanished... as is he never existed in the first place...
She has always remembered his kind smile, the knowing, understanding look in his eyes...
The unforgettable magic.
She thought she got over this decades ago! But he's here! And he's making her relive all of her old cringy memories!
She did NOT make a doll that looked like him out of grass! Not at all! If anyone says otherwise, they are a liar and a scoundrel!
The girl clutches the sides of her head and lets out a weak groan.
"I wish Zera was here... she'd know what to do."
(Pov Returned)
I rush down the street, the crashing waves of the ocean to my right as a chilling rain pelts the city.
Dark clouds swirl overhead as my face is briefly lit up by a small explosion.
I slide to a halt to see absolute chaos.
Lucy is back-to-back with Capricorn, her fists raised in a boxing stance as she wearily looks around.
She ducks suddenly as the world ripples, a dark skinned fist narrowly swipes through the area above her head.
Capricorn whirls around, swiping a hand towards the arm, causing a small part of the world to shatter like glass as two figures appear, the first a dark skinned girl with a purple jester hat who had attempted to punch Lucy, while the other, a tall, bald, dark skinned man with sunglasses.
The man stops Capricorn's chop with his crossed arms, but the goat man's attack never even seems to land as it seems to be blocked by a small wall of vibrating air and noise.
Lucy turns and punches towards the girl's midsection, but a mirror appears floating in front of the dark skinned girl's abdomen, absorbing the punch completely and utterly.
A second appears to the left of Lucy, a pale hand that looks nearly identical to the celestial spirit mage's shooting out and punching the blonde in the side, causing her to let out a small cry of pain.
The bald man deflects Capricorn's attack to the side and holds out a hand. "Dark Howling."
The goat abruptly shoves Lucy out of the way as a cacophony of noise strikes him, causing him to slide backwards with a grunt,
While this was happening however, up in the sky, a giant bearded white fleshed humanoid with four arms and angel-like wings on his back, wielding a giant hammer, clashes with some punk, emo, black haired woman who is riding atop a spectral shark.
I can actually see Angel, or rather 'Sorano' and her little sister riding on the shoulders of the hammer angel, numerous darting arrows of assorted colors speed through the air in arcing patterns.
Back on the ground, I see a silver haired man locked in combat with Team Shadowgear, he wields a book with metallic bladed corners, with a flick of his wrist he sends singular letters shooting towards the speed, plant, and solid script mage with speeds akin to bullets fired from guns.
Levy protects them with a 'Shield' spell, but as four letters are stamped into the large silvery word that is slightly circular shaped, those letters being 'B' 'O' 'O' and 'M', it detonates violently.
The letter Z is shot towards Levy, causing her to let out a cry of pain as the force of the letter sweeps a leg out from under her, scraping her knee across the ground.
The Letter Z is now imbedded in her shin, it seems slightly two dimensional, a little blood is dripping down her leg as the Z is stuck in her like a thrown playing card might get stuck in an apple.
An 'A' and a 'P' are shot next, but Droy leaps in the way, the two coin-sized letters punching through his shirt and sinking into his stomach, he grits his teeth slightly as the white haired mage lets out a low click and hits him with an 'I' and an 'N'.
'P' lights up, then 'A', then 'I', then 'N', causing the plant mage to let out a blood curdling scream as magic ravages his body.
As this is happening, Jellal is fighting against three people at once, one is the fire mage of the element four, Totomaru, the next is a really buff dude who has a mask that looks similar to Venom's from Spiderman, fire shoots out of his fists after each punch and flames trail his legs after each kick, there's also some form of tanned woman with blonde hair wielding two pistols with a shirt tied loosely around her chest.
Jellal seems to desperately trying to get somewhere, which is understandable, as about fifty feet away, a man with spikey green hair, a brown suit, and a monocle quietly laughs as he sways before a red haired mage who is on her knees, tears stream down her face as she clutches the side of her head, tears stream down her cheeks as rocks seem to cling to her body, her mouth open in a silent scream as her entire body shudders. A brown-ish magic circle is in between them.
"Magnifique~" the green haired man hums, his body twisting and contorting in an almost snake-like manner. "To think that the twisted tower truly had such an effect on you~ to think that the one who looked out for you, Rob of fairy tail, died to save your life~ was that worth it? Non non non~ I do not le crois~"
With each and every word, the stone creeps along her body. "and to think~ that my prochaine création, would be home to, la fée Titania~ the Fairy Queen!"
He then lets out an accented laugh as his eyes glint menacingly down at the requip mage.
All of this... had happened in under five seconds...
Everything slows down as my eyebrow twitches.
'this slimy fuck. I had forgotten...'
The woman fighting Lucy abruptly misses a step and nearly trips, allowing Lucy to punch her in the face, the fighting seems to almost peter out for a brief second as my eyes narrow.
There's a slight shake to the hands of Lucy as the sound mage loses balance.
I had forgotten that there was such a slimy bastard in Phantom Lord...
One who makes use of a spell to turn the painful memories of a target into endless torture while turning them into nothing more than a statue.
I lunge forwards as everyone begins to look my direction.
The earth mage's head begins to turn, but it's too late, my fist slams into the side of his head, snapping his body to the side as a pillar of telekinetic energy rushes down my arm.
Before he can get too far away, his body is grabbed by telekinetic energy, and I reel my fist back.
He is rapidly shot towards my body as I punch forwards again, putting my all into this punch.
His nose crumples and there is a spray of blood as several teeth are knocked from his mouth.
The spell holding Erza within her nightmare shatters as the mage is shot down the street, he flips and rolls across the wet pavement before coming to a stop within a nearby puddle, facing the sky, his body shakes as he seems to realize the sudden pain he is in.
He is still conscious so I don't feel bad about this, his flexible rubber-like body causes my ruthless attack to deal slightly less damage than it should.
I point up to the sky with two fingers extended. A magic circle with the fairy tail guild mark in the center appears at the tip of my fingers.
"Come forth, streams of twilight, guided by the midnight fairies, flow forth and illuminate the sins of my foes."
A warm glowing golden ring of light appears above the prone phantom lord mage.
I swing my hand down at the tattoo around my wrist glows a brilliant gold.
"FAIRY GLEAM!"
*FLASH*
For a brief moment, the grey stormy weather is lightened by a brilliant golden light.
A few tiny holes in the storm clouds have appeared, the stone surrounding the phantom lord mage has been reduced to rubble, he lays there, scorched by the attack as smoke slowly flows from his open mouth.
For a moment, no rain falls...
Then in the next moment, the pitter-patter of the downpour returns.
Erza lets out a weak groan and opens her eyes. "P-Peirce?! You're alright?!"
"I am." I nod slowly, looking over the phantom lord mages with a confident grin. "So... who's next?"
With my current energy reserves, I could do that attack two more times easily.
It has rendered the earth element four completely unable to battle, freeing up Erza from her torment.
As it is currently, it is looking a little more even. Three mages were a match for Jellal, but now that Erza's free? We should be clearing this up swiftly.
There is something I do notice, however...
It is raining... yet Juvia is nowhere to be seen...
I glance over my shoulder to see the water level steadily lowering, out above the sloshing sea I see a blue haired woman with a parasol standing atop an eerily calm portion of the water.
The ocean is being drawn back, allowing me to view the rocks alongside the beach, the sea level in the far distance rises steadily, as I stare blankly.
Oh. Tsunami.
Oh my god. She is legitimately fucking crazy.
I turn, leaping up onto the small wall at the edge of what would normally be the water, a jet black potion forming in my hand as I pull it from my requip space.
I drink it in one gulp as the new magic takes hold in my body.
The water mage stops holding back the wave, allowing it to freely flow forwards under its own power, perhaps even giving it a boost here and there.
I push both of my hands outwards, creating a massive ramp that melts into the rocks to further secure itself.
This would normally be an INCREDIBLY poor decision, even worse than just letting the wave break on the wall I am stood atop... HOWEVER.
I raise both of my hands upwards as what is basically a halfpipe made of obsidian forms atop the stone barrier beneath my feet, allowing a nice, easy path for the water to travel, and pushing me up higher into the air.
With this, the water will be shot back into the ocean.
Thank you, random internet video I watched when I was still alive in my past life. Your knowledge was quite useful.
The wave rushes forwards as I create more obsidian supports for the wave break, the sound of fighting behind me has resumed, yet I am left alone by all sides because I assume they don't want to be hit by a tidal wave.
I watch the water rush up the ramp and slosh up the sideways half-pipe.
The ground beneath my feet buckles slightly, but it remains standing, a wall of water is shot out before me by the reflected wave, water along the edges of the path for a couple of blocks explode upwards as they make contact with the boardwalk.
I let out a breath of exertion as I turn and look to a pool of water steadily rising from the floor, steadily transforming into a woman.
She wears a long blue dress with some strange doll affixed to her collar, she has a pink umbrella and long blue hair that is tightly curled at the ends, atop her head she has a Russian Cossack hat.
"Drip Drip Drop." She intones with a dead voice, her eyes gazing lifelessly forwards. "I am impressed that your guild could strike down one of our S classes so easily... yet you must not underestimate the remaining ones."
I silently stare, allowing the rain to pelt my body, a frown on my face.
"I do not appreciate you dragging the people of Magnolia into our guild's bickering." I intone lowly, my voice being carried across the black platform of obsidian we are stood atop.
The woman stares blankly into my eyes.
A small blush crosses her cheeks as she turns around and begins walking away, a hand brought to her chest. "W-Well you are correct! It was quite inconsiderate of me. I-I give up. You win."
"…"
"…"
Oh boy... does this mean that she is attracted to m-
She turns, a crimson blush on her face. "Water lock!"
I continue staring at her as a swirling vortex of water surrounds me, I am unworried as suddenly, as if popping a bubble, an outward explosion of telekinetic energy detonates the churning, sloshing, water around me.
She stares, mouth slightly ajar as I smirk.
With a swiping motion, she is utterly splattered, transforming into nothing but a simple mist.
She reforms slightly to the left, cupping her face with her cheeks as she blushes. "Nobody has ever gotten out of Juvia's water lock before! Does this truly mean we are to be?"
"Who knows." I deadpan. "But the way I see it... Phantom Lord has, in the past twenty-four hours, broken my bones, punctured my organs, and torn almost all the skin off my left arm... all while trying to hurt our bartender... and now, is attempting to hurt my friends and family. So sorry, but this is probably going to hurt."
I lunge forwards as the girl stares on in shock. "Hurt?! You were hurt that badly by my guildmates?! My love?!"
She is splattered by my telekinesis once more.
How does one take care of such a foe?
A foe which can take almost any physical attack with no damage due to her body being made of water...
How does one take down such a foe as a mage whose entire potent repertoire is physical magic...
As it is, I'll tire out far before her.
Redirecting a fairly sizable tsunami isn't as easy as it looks.
So how does one stop a semi-invulnerable woman who now appears to be violently in love with me?
That is indeed a good question.
And thus the phantom lord Arc continues! And we've got even MORE new characters!
And let me just say, most of the new characters are totally canon to the fairy tail universe!
Crunch and Allocer? Fairy Tail Gaiden: Kengami no Souryuu.
Largo? Fairy Tail Ultimate Dance of Magic
The new characters in this chapter? Shark Girl and Venom's copywrite infringement are Akula and Biamask from the Fairy Tail Portable Guild Video Game, gun girl is Vivian from Ultimate Dance of Magic, and long white haired dude is Schoena from fairy tail forces unite.
Granite on the other hand?
Yeah, he's just a nothing side character that exists as a result of more dragons being around.
Guest Reviews:
Guest 001: Yeah, probably around that amount.
Guest 002: I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Guest 003: I mean, in a way, the magical knowledge is the magical potency, but I see your point.
Guest 004: Nah, I'd say that Largo and Gajeel are a cut above the rest, but Totomaru? Absolutely. That dude is probably only an S class because they needed a fire element mage to perform abyss break, but most of the others are absolute bullshit. Aria nearly killed Makarov, Sol is a fucking bastard, and Juvia is borderline untouchable. Even Totomaru, is slightly above average with his pyrokinesis.
Guest 005: Pierce has been a mage for all of like... maybe 2 weeks. There's not much for him TO train (At least until he got other magic a few days ago) going from 2 nonmagical fucks and an earth dragon slayer to two S CLASS mages is a pretty big jump... also Gajeel's magic is just strictly better than the other dragon slayer's. I mean, really. Natsu had literally zero right to beat him. And, a bit off topic I suppose, but Wendy and Sherria should have literally infinite magic and it's a little bullshit that they are shown to be so weak at times.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed! As always, I have a pat reon at Pat reon (Dotcom) (Slash) Flameclawsxx
