Hello there everyone, I have returned with the third chapter of "A Boy and the Magma Dragon" and Happy Belated Easter by the way. Thank you guys for the early reviews and support for this FT OC story about the Dragon being the main character here. It brings a smile on my face and I appreciate it a lot.

My responses to these Guest reviews that I can't normally reply on PM:

Damn: In a nutshell, yes Volcanis slept through the Dragon King Festival and it had saved her life from being one of Acnologia's many victims. And that would be interesting for the Magma Dragon interact with the Queen of Dragons who invented Dragon Slayer Magic if they meet each other. As for Volcanis choosing between turning into a human as a disguise or use her magma golems as her avatars, I will think about that.

Guest: Thanks, and yeah, Volcanis will have to focus on looking after Natsu when she doesn't seem to find Igneel or Atlas at all considering their canon circumstances. Pretty much, Mavis did state with look of disappointment that none of the 7 Dragons that emerged from the Eclipse Gate were strong like Acnologia but they all gave the 7 Dragon Slayers and their wizard allies a very hard time of their lives.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters except my OCs. They belong to Hiro Mashima.

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)


Chapter 3

En route to the Tower of Heaven

A small fleet of ships from the Magic Council are sailing at full speed towards their destination after they have noticed a huge pillar of magma erupting into the sky. Along the way, they have rescued several of the slaves that escaped from the dreadful place called the Tower of Heaven with stolen boats and told the Rune Knights that it was a Dragon made of magma behind the attack on their captors.

"Report.", demanded an older man with a bushy mustache and he wears a form fitting black outfit with a white coat of the Council insignia that is draped on his shoulders like a cape. Through his jaguar-like eyes, he is staring at the incomplete tower that seemed to have melted away with several explosions of magic and fire.

"According to the people we saved, they said the boy named Jellal Fernandes is the head of the Tower of Heaven cult who aims to bring back the Black Wizard Zeref from the dead, Captain Jaguar. Not only that, the man who calls himself Brain is there as his Magic trainer he hired.", answered a bespectacled young man with a tuft of black hair resting atop slicked-back, blue hair in a formal Rune Knight uniform with a cape.

Growling, Jaguar noted. "I see, Lieutenant Creed. Dr. Bryan Ockado is here. The man behind the inhumane experimentations of the Bureau of Magical Development and destroyed it to cover his tracks. He has been eluding us for some time."

Creed nodded, "The freed prisoners also informed us that they overheard him selecting 5 candidates among the children to be part of his Six Prayers spell by training them how to use Magic and find out which of them have the highest potential."

"That means the mad doctor intends to form the Oracion Seis as his Dark Guild and taint the good name and legacy of the ancient order of 6 noble warriors who use their "sacred powers" to slay the Demons of Zeref and cleanse the land of the Black Wizard's evil!", the Rune Knight captain realized with a look of anger and disgust before turning to the rest of his subordinates.

"All ships, full speed to the Tower of Heaven! We found the disgraced Dr. Bryan Ockado there and this is our chance to take him down and bring to justice before the Magic Council!", he bellowed.

"SIR, YES SIR!", the men and women of the Rune Knights obeyed their superior's order and went to make their ships as fast as they can.

Creed inquired with look of worry, "Are you sure, captain? There is a Dragon in the way and she may not appreciate our unwanted interference."

"Lieutenant, what did the former slaves say about the Dragon showing up at the Tower of Heaven?", Jaguar asked as he wondered what are the intentions from a member of a supposedly extinct race that showed itself before the entirety of Earth Land.

"They said that the Dragon just ignored them when they took advantage to escape and she was more focused on hunting down the Zeref cultists after manifesting an army of magma golems to attack the tower itself.", the bespectacled Rune Knight answered.

"Hmm... A Dragon with a sense of justice. I guess this one must have been on humanity's side during the Dragon King's Festival 400 years in the past.", Jaguar mused with speculation as his fleet came in closer where the captain can see a large draconic figure made of magma sitting at the shore of the tower.


At the Incomplete Tower of Heaven

"Achoo!", Volcanis sneezed with snots of magma spreading out from her nostrils as she wondered out loud. "Is someone talking about me? Oh well, it must have been Natsu telling his guild about me at his home of Magnolia."

Shrugging off, the former retainer of Igneel witness her two Magma Dragon Knights giving the boy and the old man a very hard time of their lives and despite their combined efforts, it barely staggers her creations in their path. Although credit where credit's due, the two humans are formidably skilled and strong in their own right and held their ground against her two creations. But in the end, the only reason they're not killed immediately is because I wanted to play around with them and that I gave my Magma Dragon Knights only a small fraction of my power. More than what I gave my Magma Demon Knight to test Natsu. Now this little farce is coming to an end., she thought with amusement.

"Meteor!", Jellal shouted as he cloaks himself with golden magical energy around his body to fly and evade his magma-shaped dragonoid opponent unleashing a laser attack from its jaw at him.

The blast caused a large explosion that blew away the remains of the tower and few unlucky cultists who were dumb enough to get caught in the crossfire. On the other hand, the boy charged at the Magma Dragon Knight to unleash incredibly fast punching attacks in multiple directions. "Meteor Frenzy!", he shouted as his enemy is bombarded from all sides and causing minor cracks on its body.

However, the Magma Dragon Knight looked at Jellal's direction where the latter is about to throw another punch to the face, and backhanded the blue-haired little boy in the face, resulting the latter to crashing into the ground hard and suffered bleeding scrapes.

Then the Magma Dragon Knight blitzed before raising its flame-powered leg to punt Jellal in the ass, which sent him flying away from the Tower of Heaven.

"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", the little boy screamed in pain and humiliation as the flames spread all over his body from the kick from the Magma Dragon's pawns. This can't be happening! It can't end like this! I am Zeref's chosen one! To bring him back to the world of the living and obtain true freedom!

I'm sorry but consider yourself fired, Jellal. Enjoy your short-lived freedom while it lasted., the so-called voice of Zeref's ghost mocked as the dark influence on his mind left his head like a shroud removed from him and he felt free.

And the last thing he saw is a small fleet of Council ships heading toward his direction before facing towards the mast of one of them and there's darkness.

"Jellal!", his friends cried out with shock and worry, even Simon too as well.

"Master Jellal!", his cultist subordinates despaired upon seeing their leader sent flying in such an undignified manner.

"Alas in the end, the foolish boy cannot back up his failed ambitions and lost.", Volcanis commented out loud with a chuckle for them to hear.

Meanwhile, Brain quickly blocked the punch of the other Magma Dragon Knight with his right arm which caused a shockwave explosion on the ground he stood on and he felt the pain from his opponent's sheer physical strength. He then aimed his Kloadoa staff into it at close range with a green Magic circle manifesting. "Dark Capriccio!"

The drilling beam of green and black darkness pierced through his opponent, blasting it away from him. But the Magma Dragon Knight remained on its feet and glared at him while regenerating the huge hole like it was nothing. Then it retaliated by raising both hands to form a large fireball of magma and threw it at Brain with great strength.

In response, Brain used his right fist again, this time enhanced with Darkness Magic to crush the attack without taking any damage at all. Of course it left him vulnerable to the Magma Dragon Knight blitzing towards him with its fiery wings flapping at full speed and it is about to bite him with its huge sharp jaws. "Dark Gravity!", Brain slammed his staff on the ground to pin down his enemy with a gravitational force of green darkness.

Intending to finish it off, the would-be leader of Oracion Seis unleashed a rapid fire barrage of green magic energy bullets. "Dark Delete!"

When the smoke clears, it is revealed that the Magma Dragon Knight defended itself by using its fiery wings to block the attack. Brain jumped away only to get dropkicked by another Magma Dragon Knight, sending crashing into the ground hard with its searing claw on his back.

Exerting his sickly green magical aura shockwave to push it back, Brain gets up to find himself surrounded by two Magma Dragon Knights ready to pounce on him and realized that Jellal had been defeated and probably dead already. Of course, he's still a child and had so much to learn. Now he has perished in battle. Perhaps if he were older and stronger, he might have handled the Dragon's two magma golems with ease., he thought.

His alter ego Zero sneered, Obviously! If you had let me out or if you end up defeated, I'll take over to show them my power and I can rip them apart with my bare hands!

You know that even if you somehow destroyed these Magma-Make creations, the Dragon will kill you just as easily. She's toying with us., the former head of the Bureau of Magical Development retorted as he sidestepped one Magma Dragon Knight's claw slash attack before using Zero Slash with his Kloadoa's whip to grab its arm and toss it toward the other Magma Dragon Knight, crashing into each other.

But both of the magma golems opened their jaws and fired powerful blasts at once, which forced Brain to manifest a shield made of Darkness Magic in front of him.

If that's the case, you should have used the Teleportation Magic to escape by now!, Zero shot back.

Brain knew that this was easier said than done as the two Magma Dragon Knights would immediately go for the kill if he tries to use a teleportation spell mid-casting. And he had a suspicion that even if he successfully pulled it off, the female Dragon already have his scent and can go after him wherever he is at anytime. Like a hunter searching for a rabbit that eluded him and it only excited him to be in for a fun challenge.

Suddenly, the two split personalities of Oracion Seis leader felt another presence. This time that of a determined hunter and they know who that is. And it would seem that the female Dragon noticed it too as well.

"I see that our little skirmish had attention of the humans' military forces. Interesting. I can sense that their leader to be quite powerful for a human.", Volcanis commented upon observing the fleet of Council ships arriving on shore before her.

"Great, it's Jaguar. Head Captain of the 1st Custody Enforcement Unit and one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Just what I needed.", Brain gritted his teeth in annoyance and apprehension upon recognizing the leader of the Council navy.

Now we are stuck in between a molten rock and a hard place. We are trapped like cornered rats!, Zero growled as Jaguar made a big leap off from his flagship and passed through a magic circle formed mid-air in front of him before making a superhero landing pose on the ground.

Transformed into a literal Werejaguar via Take Over Magic, the Rune Knight captain brandished his sharp claws at his target in a martial arts stance. "Dr. Bryan Ockado! By the authority of the Magic Council, you are under arrest! Surrender or we can do this the hard way!", he declared as he is waiting for Brain to make a move whether to fight or run for it and he will respond in turn.

His Rune Knights landed onshore to secure the perimeter, prepare their Jutsu Shiki to prevent the criminal's escape, and back up their captain if possible.

Seeing that the chances of fighting Jaguar and two of the female Dragon's Magma-Make golems have dropped to very low percent, Brain decided the best course of action. He intended to temporarily dispel his Prayer spell on his body and use Clone Magic to temporarily split himself from Zero, granting the latter a body of his own but it ensured that he will return to him once the magic is expired or he commands it to.

If we are going down, we will not go down gentle!, the former head scientist proclaimed with his alter ego agreeing, ready to act out their final stand.

"Not yet. You still have a role to play and prepare to not get motion sick by the way when I bring you to safety.", an alluring voice of a sultry woman told the two personas of the Oracion Seis founder, surprising them before the man with two souls is engulfed in blinding white light and disappeared into thin air.

Jaguar and his troops covered their eyes from such radiance. Even Volcanis used her fiery wing to protect her vision while her Magma Dragon Knights are unaffected as they are not really living sentient beings at all.

"Dammit! He escaped!", the Wizard Saint in his Werejaguar form snarled as his quarry evaded justice once again.

"Well, that was disappointing. Return to me, my Magma Dragon Knights.", the former retainer of Igneel expressed with a frown as her constructs fly back to her and merge themselves back to her magma body naturally, ceasing to exist until she brings them forth to battle once more.

Returning to his human form by dispelling his Take Over, Captain Jaguar sighed before giving out orders to his forces. "Rune Knights! Release the prisoners and apprehend the remaining cultists from that destroyed tower! Make a blockade around this island. No one gets in or out until everything is secure and accounted for."

"SIR, YES SIR!", the men and women of the Council military obeyed and carried out their duties where they find little resistance from the very few demoralized Zeref cultists who surrendered on spot and dozens of relieved slaves who have found their freedom at last from their chains and cells with some few minority seemed to have clung to their misplaced brainwashing by the cult among them.

On the other hand, Lieutenant Creed had placed Sealing Stone cuffs on Jellal who is currently unconscious and had first aid bandages wrapped around his bleeding head. Good news is that he is still alive and the bad news is that he is gonna have a nasty headache in the morning when he wakes up in the Council hospital.

Turning his face at the Dragon made completely of magma as she covered herself in rock scales to lessen the intense heat around people, the older man with bushy mustache called out to her in a respectful manner. "On behalf of the Magic Council, I, Jaguar of the Ten Wizard Saints, thank you, noble Dragon.

Mused at the human's courtesy and his interesting bushy mustache, Volcanis smiled even though it may look intimidating for those with lesser hearts. "You're welcome, human. In truth, I was just targeting this tower because I needed to stretch out a little after waking up from my deep slumber. Sleeping in my volcanic domain for so long can give me a huge crick on the neck."

"But still, you've saved the lives of the innocents regardless and we are grateful for it, noble Dragon.", Jaguar stated as he watched rows of former slaves and captured cultists being escorted by the Rune Knights into his fleet.

"Volcanis. Volcanis the Magma Dragon. That is my name. Remember it well, human.", the former retainer of Igneel announced before flapping her wings to fly into the sky and leave the island. What was that power? That was clearly that of the Moon Dragon. I cannot tell if it's really a Dragon or this could be a Dragon Slayer who was taught how to use the power of a Dragon like how Natsu learnt it from Igneel. Speaking of which, I believe it is time to pay the hatchling a visit at this Magnolia. I would like to meet this Fairy Tail he highly spoke about..., she thought.


Somewhere far away from the Incomplete Tower of Heaven

Floating on the oceans' water with her own magical power alone as if she was walking on it while keeping her true nature and scent concealed from detection that would have gotten unwanted attention, Selene smiled in amusement as she held a magical orb that allows her to see the body of Brain in stasis. "Well, that was entertaining. It is a good thing that I grabbed you into my dimension. It would be a shame if you died right there."

She finished, "Besides, I have big plans for you and you're going to like them."

The Moon Dragon God in her human form that of a beautiful blonde woman in a skimpy kimono with a hood swiped her hand to create a portal made out of water. "Aqua Aera!"

Walking through the watery dimensional portal to return home at Elentear, Selene paused for a while to see the Magma Dragon flying away back to the mainland and note that she was still unaware of her fellow Dragon's presence.

"Keep me entertained, Volcanis. Make it more interesting for me. Not only that, it's also a relief that I am not the only female Dragon around here on Earth Land anymore. Not counting the former Queen of Dragons who is in Alakitasia.", she said before leaving and the Aqua Aera dissipated as its water splashed into the ocean.


At the Fairy Tail guildhall, Magnolia

Few days passed as the people of Magnolia are going about their daily lives while getting used to the antics of Fiore's most infamous Legal Guild that always gave the Magic Council a big headache, Fairy Tail. There, the guild members are busy drinking, socializing and going to take Jobs and earn their rewards for income. There were also few brawls but nothing too serious as this happens in Fairy Tail all the time.

"Volcanis was really nice to you Natsu?", Lisanna the youngest of the Strauss siblings asked.

It was quite an understatement when Natsu returned with the reward money and claimed that he had met an actual honest-to-God Dragon from the "Defeat the Volcanic Demon" job. As the son of Igneel is terrible at telling lies and is quite blunt at everything he say, everyone in Fairy Tail believed him with some few skeptics like Laxus among them. But even that changed their minds when widespread news of a Dragon flying around in Ishgar that was noticed and seen by people.

"Yup! She said she was Igneel's retainer or something. I think she meant that she was his friend. Anyways, Volcanis even let me fight her magma knight she made with her Magic so I can beat it and earn the reward money! It looked like demon anyway so I gave it my all and defeated it!", Natsu proudly explained.

Being the teenage edgy punk she is for an older sister, Mirajane scoffed, "I am surprised you didn't challenge that Dragon directly and she could easily swat you aside like a fly."

"Big sis! That's mean! Besides, Natsu is here with us and trusted Volcanis.", her little sister defended.

Mildly interested, Gray raised an eyebrow, "A Dragon that can use a unique form of Maker Magic? That is something you don't see everyday."

Elfman in his formal suit for a middle child wondered out loud, "And where is Volcanis now, Natsu?"

The Fire Dragon Slayer replied as he tries his best to recall, "She said she is going to find a new home somewhere after my mission to find the Volcanic Demon is complete. Something about not wanting nosy humans to find out about her if she had stayed behind. And that she promised me that we will meet again after I left."

"That's quite a wholesome story, Natsu! If it weren't for the news of a Dragon being sighted flying around in Fiore, we would have thought you made that up.", Gildarts remarked as the Guild Ace drank the booze from the mug without noticing Cana looking at her father longingly.

"Hah! I told you Dragons are not gone at all! You didn't believe me before and now I am vince-adated!", Natsu proclaimed with a big smile on his face.

"You mean vindicated.", Lisanna corrected with a giggle.

"What I said!", the pink haired boy added without missing a beat which results his friends chuckling at his straight face.

From the sidelines, Laxus can simply roll his eyes as he simply resumed listening to his classic rock and roll music from his "Sound Pod" model of Magic Headphones.

Meanwhile, Makarov sat on top of the bartender's booth and smiled to see the Fire Dragon Slayer is in good spirits and happy to have met a friend of his adoptive Dragon father whom the boy is determined to continue looking for him after his encounter with. Still it worries me, a Dragon happened to be alive and sleeping all along. The Council and its branches across the continent has been on high alert after Volcanis flew around Ishgar and they were worried if she was hostile. Although, Yajima told me that she attacked a Tower of Heaven and caused a havoc there before departing, leaving Jaguar to take custody of the freed slaves and captured cultists in the official report., the elderly Wizard Saint thought.

Glancing at a depressed and conflicted Erza sitting far away from the others and on top of her table is a newspaper with headlines about the Tower of Heaven's destruction by the Dragon's hands with few dozen survivors taken into custody, Makarov internally noted with lamentation. It doesn't take a genius to know that she escaped from the wretched tower that enslaved her and was threatened into silence. How I wished I should have rallied Fairy Tail to go there to free her friends and avenge Rob's death! Or better yet, send in Gildarts, the one-man wrecking ball of destruction!

Unfortunately, the son of Fairy Tail founder Yuri Dreyar got bogged down by a.) tons of legal paperwork sent to his office all the time which he really needs a lawyer officially joining Fairy Tail to smooth things out, b.) dealing with the Council slapping papers full of complaints about his Guild's destructive antics which he had burned them more than once, and c.) that he doesn't know the exact location of the Tower of Heaven without asking Erza who seemed tight-lipped and afraid of her friends' lives in danger if she told him which they would suffer the consequences in turn.

Since her friends are currently under Council custody with Jaguar taking responsibility over the former prisoners of that tower, I will bring Erza with me and reunite with them. It is the least I can do for her., Makarov resolved.

Suddenly, the members of Fairy Tail felt a huge gust of wind blowing into their guildhall and then a mighty thud on the ground, which result in some of them losing their balance and collapsing on the floor. Their tables got flipped over with plates of food and mugs of beer spilled all over the place. And a massive size blocked the sunlight on them like a dark shadow.

It came from behind the guildhall of Fairy Tail nearby the lake of Magnolia followed by a very loud proclamation that of a bombastic older woman.

"FAIRY TAIL! I AM VOLCANIS THE MAGMA DRAGON! I AM HERE TO SEEK AUDIENCE FROM NATSU DRAGNEEL, SON AND HEIR OF THE FIRE DRAGON KING IGNEEL!"

Everyone in the Guild and also Magnolia are shocked and stunned silent that Volcanis had dropped by for a visit after her flight tour across Ishgar while Natsu expressed his pure unadulterated jubilation that she fulfilled her promise and ran out to meet the female Dragon in person up close.

Lisanna broke the silence as she innocently wondered, "Does that make Natsu a prince of Dragon nobility all along? That means I found my Prince Charming!"

"LISANNA!", Mirajane yelled.


Author's Note: Okay, the third chapter of "A Boy and the Magma Dragon" is done and we have Volcanis making quite a dramatic entrance before Fairy Tail, proudly announcing Natsu's heritage to everyone hearing it across Magnolia. And on the other hand, the entire "fight" between Jellal & Brain/Zero and Volcanis with her creations is very one-sided on the latter's favor.

I mean, even the strongest mages of the Guilds that participated the Grand Magic Games couldn't handle 7 Dragons and Motherglare's Hatchling army that kicked their asses. With that, the Tower of Heaven arc is no more as Jellal taken into custody while the slaves rescued and cultists surrendered to Jaguar's Council forces.

Although Brain escaped thanks to a certain Moon Dragon God who have plans for him. :D

Also, Happy is not here yet as his Exceed egg wasn't sent to Earth Land via Anima from Edolas and bonked on Natsu's head, lol. I can't wait to write that wholesome canon moment with Volcanis when it comes.

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
