Hello there again and I have returned with Chapter 4 of "A Boy and the Magma Dragon". Thank you guys, once again for the reviews and support for this FT OC Dragon story. Also, reading the Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest's recent chapters really gave me a goldmine of ideas for this story and I'm gonna have a very enthusiastic walk with this manga which is going to have an anime adaptation soon in the future.

On the other hand, I have consulted with PhantomGalaxy13 regarding Volcanis if she could be one of the Dragon Gods or not in the PM. He replied to me that he believed that the Dragon Gods were a special case where they have grown their powers for 400 years to the point they allegedly reached to Acnologia's level. This also helped with the reveal in the 100 Years Quest manga that there were other Dragons who also survived Acnologia's extermination but then later ended up biting the dust by Georg Reizen's hand.

Such as Elexion the Lightning Dragon King (who was consumed by Kirin the Yellow Dragon Eater) and Kurnugi the Sword Saint Dragon (who was consumed by Suzaku the Vermillion Dragon Eater). And none of those Dragons who end up consumed by the members of Diabolos had grown to Dragon Gods' level at all before their demise. Which means, Volcanis will not be a Dragon God at all.

Happy Advanced Independence Day by the way!

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)


Chapter 4

"Volcanis! I'm so happy to see you! You fulfilled your promise!"

Natsu cried with tears of joy after he jumped good to the Magma Dragon's rock covered snout and hug her affectionately like he did with Igneel back in their happier days before the latter's disappearance on July 7, X777. It has been a long time since he did that and now he can get to do it again for real.

"Of course I have, hatchling. I told you that we will meet again.", the female Dragon warmly hummed with a smile at the little human son of her king cuddling her snout and being more than happy to see her while she angrily thought as her rock-covered magma body slowly glowed. Dammit Igneel, why did you have to abandon this sweet boy? He did not deserve this... You know what, I changed my mind. I will do more than give you a bonk on the head... I WILL GIVE YOU THE MOST PAINFUL FIERY THRASHING FOR BEING A POOR FATHER TO NATSU ONCE I FIND YOUR SCALEY HIDE!

For some reason, Natsu's body greatly shivered in terror like he got the entirety of Mt. Hakobe's ice dumped on his back all at once despite being hugging the snout of a walking volcano of a Dragon. On the other hand, Volcanis believed that she is terrifying the boy with her magma body glowing within her rock form and stopped it before her intense heat could harm him even if he has heat resistance of a Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Owww! My head!", a voice of another young boy cried out in pain.

Snapping out of her thoughts for planning his swift and deserved punishment on Igneel, Volcanis looked down to see a young boy with black, straight hair and long thick lips. He is clutching his head in agony as if he had suffered the biggest migraine of his entire life. Aside from that, she saw hundreds of human mages of Fairy Tail coming out of the guildhall's backdoor or remain inside out of fear and concern, including the civilians of the Magnolia who overheard her proud declaration out loud and some were brave enough to leave their homes to try get a better look at her.

"Warren, are you alright?", asked a boy with beige hair being kept in a bowl undercut, with two large, straight bangs framing and partially covering the sides of his face with a face of worry and concern as he helped his friend up and called out. "Someone get him a cold ice pack!"

"I'm fine, Max. I'm having a headache. Thanks Gray.", Warren reassured as his fellow Fairy Tail comrade took off his shirt and produced ice with his Magic before giving it to him which the former put it on his throbbing head.

The dwarf-looking elderly man demanded with look of concern and alarm, "Warren, did you try reading a Dragon's mind?"

Looking away with shame at the consequences of his actions, Warren replied. "Yes, Master Makarov. I did. I was curious if it was the real Dragon or not."

"Oh I am very real, little human. And I ask that you will not do it again.", Volcanis sternly called out as she relaxed her rock-covered magma body for a proper sitting position to talk to the gathering of humans who are understandably intimidated by her appearance while ensuring Natsu won't fall off from her snout as the pink haired boy moved himself to his own sitting position.

"You foolish boy! Dragons' minds are beyond human comprehension and you almost gave yourself brain damage from it!", Makarov sternly scolded him before giving out his orders with a tone that he will not take no for an answer. "Max, take Warren to the infirmary and put him to bed and rest his mind. I will call in Porlyusica later for a medical check up on him."

"Yes, Master. Come on, Warren.", Max carried his friend along with the members of Fairy Tail moving out of the way to let them enter the guildhall.

Makarov approached the Magma Dragon with his calm and composed demeanor before making a formal bow of apology before the former retainer of Igneel. "On behalf of Fairy Tail, I apologize for Warren's behavior, Lady Volcanis. Don't take it against him. He is just a young boy and he has yet to learn that there are indeed boundaries when it comes with Telepathy Magic."

Mused that she met another polite male human with an interesting-looking mustache since Jaguar earlier, the Magma Dragon stated. "Apology accepted, Master Makarov of Fairy Tail. Although, you are right. I shouldn't have been too harsh on him. The young has so much to learn from their mistakes. And judging from the reaction of your Guild and the humans of this town, you do not believe Dragons actually exist, am I correct?"

Volcanis can clearly see some of the Fairy Tail members and the Magnolia civilians, both the adults and children, feeling quite ashamed of themselves. It is clear that they do not acknowledge Natsu's claims of being Igneel's son and raised by a Dragon until she showed up herself personally. And that she is no stranger to derision and mockery after having to endure her younger years as a hatchling abandoned by Dogramag and his Fire Dragon mate for being a goopy freak.

Of course there were few among them who actually believed him such as this dwarf-sized guild master, the scruffy looking older man with a cloak, the sweet-looking little girl with white hair and the redhead girl with a basic armored breastplate and a skirt. She looks and smells quite familiar... It couldn't be... , the Magma Dragon wondered in thought upon noticing her.

"I told you Dragons are real! I was right all along! Who's laughing now?! Hahahahahahaha!", Natsu cheered to everyone with a cheeky face and a laugh of vindication.

Fortunately for them, the Fire Dragon Slayer didn't seem the type of person to hold a grudge and he was just happy that he had been vindicated. Volcanis knew that there are Dragons more prideful than her who don't take insults and mockery on them well and retaliated with immense prejudice. The members of Fairy Tail and the citizens of Magnolia knew this and simply let the pink-haired boy have his moment of the day.

"Yeah, yeah! We get it! No need to rub it in our faces, Natsu!", Gray grumbled that his best friend/rival is really enjoying it. The pink haired boy simply laughed at him even harder in response, pissing the latter off.

The son of Igneel and the ice wizard as rivals? Reminds me of my rivalry with Frosteria the Ice Dragon Queen. Even though I was just Igneel's retainer and that ours are far more sophisticated than the human boys. I hope she is still out there after all these years. But first things first., she mused at seeing the similarity. Then Volcanis called out much to everyone's surprise, "You, the human girl with red hair. Step forward."

The guild wizards and the civilians were surprised, curious and concerned that the female Dragon called out to Erza, apparently having interest on her out of a whim. Not wanting to be rude towards Natsu's Dragon friend, Erza stepped forward and stood at attention in front of Volcanis with a brave face and narrowed eyes. "Yes, what do you want?"

The glare looks indeed familiar but her scent smells like a Dragon for some reason. And yet her power feels human..., Volcanis thought before she demanded. "What is your name, girl?"

"I'm Erza. Erza Scarlet.", the redhead armored girl replied with a posture which Volcanis can clearly see that of the Queen of Dragons.

"I see. The bloodline of Irene Belserion endures!", the rock-covered Magma Dragon announced with a smile.

"What?!", everyone shouted, including Erza.

"What do you mean by that?", Erza asked.

"Your ancestor was the ruler of Dragnof Kingdom a long time ago. She was titled as the "Queen of Dragons" in honor for her strong advocation for human-Dragon coexistence and harmony. She even fought alongside the Dragons as a powerful warrior and an Enchanter in her own right.", Volcanis explained, which Fairy Tail and the Magnolia citizens take note of the history lesson. "Unfortunately, the humans' lifespans are very short with the need to pass down families for generations and nothing lasts forever if I recall. Since I have been sleeping for centuries and saw how much the world had changed so much after I woke up, you are definitely her descendant."

"She must have been a wonderful woman in the past...", the armored girl commented with a small smile upon learning about her family past where Dragons once ruled the world. But then she remembered a blue haired boy who gave her the last name of Scarlet with bitter conflicted memories. "I never knew my real family name to be honest until you told me ..."

"It's up to you if you accept your lineage and take your true family name, girl.", the former retainer of Igneel reassured, pleased to know that some form of legacy of the Dragons still exist in this world.

"Wow, that explains why Erza is crazy strong. I keep trying to beat her in a fight and lost a lot of times.", Natsu commented after palming with his fist in realization as if he made a great revelation.

Everyone in the Guild and the civilians facepalmed altogether at once. Natsu may be a sweet boy with a hotheaded temper and a passion for friends and finding Igneel, but he is not always the sharpest tool in the shed. Especially when he is struggling with his class lessons from Erza.

The older scruffy looking man with a cape called out, "Or that she is better at fighting than you, Natsu! Bloodlines had nothing to do with it!"

Volcanis noticed the uncomfortable response from the brown haired girl and the young spiky blonde man with a lightning scar. That girl is probably the man's daughter and the other... I cannot believe it. He has the magical signature of Elexion..., she remarked in surprise.

"You take that back, Gildarts! I'll kick your ass right now!", the Fire Dragon Slayer comically yelled as he threw around his fists with a hiss.

"So this is Gildarts you spoke highly of, hatchling? I can see why you look up to him as someone to surpass eventually. His magic power is something to behold. Greater than even your guild master here.", the Magma Dragon mused before asking the scruffy looking man. "Are you one of those Wizard Saints just like the man named Jaguar I presume?"

Gildarts simply laughed off lightheartedly in response and said, "Sorry but I am not a Wizard Saint, Miss Volcanis. Just a humble Guild Ace of Fairy Tail. Master Makarov here is one though. The Magic Council only recognizes ten of the most powerful wizards in Ishgar. Not just for their great magic power and capabilities but also for their righteous behavior and respectable standards. Unfortunately, I do not fit the latter criteria and I know it."

While receiving confirmation from the female Dragon that his fellow Wizard Saint really did meet Volcanis, Makarov grumbled, "If only you didn't cause as much property damage wherever you go, which got me into trouble with the Council every time and setting a bad example to the children in the Guild..."

The young man with a lightning scar scoffed, "Like you're one to talk, old man."

"Speaking of which, you boy with the lightning scar. Why do you have Elexion's power?", Volcanis asked with her claw pointing at him. Everyone is now looking at Laxus and suddenly he didn't like being in the spotlight with the Magma Dragon.

"What?", the spiky blond teenager said as he looked incredulous and surprised.

The female Dragon stated with narrowed eyes at him, "I can sense the power of the Lightning Dragon King within you. I remember its majestic thunder anywhere. Are you perhaps a Dragon Slayer taught by Elexion just like Natsu Dragneel?"

Knowing that the cat is out of the bag and not wanting to leave their guest having the wrong assumption, Makarov quickly spoke up in his grandson's defense. "Yes, he is, Lady Volcanis. Laxus is a Dragon Slayer just like Natsu. But the difference is that he was implanted with a Lacrima that contains a Dragon's power."

I never knew there was another method of granting humans the power of a Dragon Slayer. It makes sense. Elexion was a proud Dragon King of his own right, as all other Dragon Kings and Dragon Queens are, and he was the most aggressive than even the likes of Igneel. I cannot imagine him being the type to patiently teach a human with his power. Oh well, I will ask questions from Elexion later when I run into him., the Magma Dragon noted as she nodded at the old man's explanation.

"That's awesome! Why didn't you tell me you're one, Laxus!", Natsu cheered that he had a fellow Dragon Slayer in the Guild all this time.

"You never asked.", the Lightning Dragon Slayer simply said in response as he looked conflicted after learning the source of the Lacrima his father Ivan gave him.

"How interesting! The son of Igneel, the descendant of Irene Belserion and the heir of Elexion as members of Fairy Tail! Such a fascinating Guild you have joined, Natsu.", Volcanis laughed with amusement.

The pink haired boy smiled, "Yup, Fairy Tail is like family as Gramps said! Say, are you going to join Fairy Tail too as well, Volcanis?"

Everyone muttered among themselves at the idea of a Dragon joining the Guild from Natsu's suggestion, finding it very enticing.

"A Dragon joining a Guild?"

"That sounds awesome!"

"With a Dragon on our side, I feel like we can do anything!"

"You got that right!"

"The Magic Council would be crapping their pants if they heard that."

However, the Magma Dragon shot them down in an instant. "I apologize, son of Igneel but I refuse. Humans must stand on their own two feet and overcome their own problems they face. Otherwise, you would end up weak and complacent if someone else stronger and more powerful handle your battles for you. I have witnessed how much your civilization grew and progressed when I flew the skies of Ishgar. All without any intervention from my kind which I was searching for and concluded that they are most likely hibernating in deep slumber like I was.", she said.

Makarov and Gildarts nodded in agreement from the wisdom of Igneel's former retainer. The others are disappointed at her steadfast refusal but understood her point of view while the rest have taken well of the female Dragon's positive reception about her opinion about human civilization.

"Aww, okay but will you stick around here in Magnolia?", Natsu asked albeit with a look of small disappointment and understanding.

"I am no Clinging Dragon but I will stay and raise you. Probably far from this town to have more space between us. Someone has to complete your training Igneel had left unfinished when he disappeared. I will let you know that I have sparred with your father many times, hatchling. His spells and fighting style are very familiar to me enough to teach you.", Volcanis said which brightened up the boy who loved to know more about his adopted Dragon father from her.

"This reminds me of Porlyusica... She wanted nothing to do with Fairy Tail and this town but sticks around to help anyway.", the elderly Wizard Saint commented with a sweatdrop.

"Maybe she is a Dragon too since she hates humans and all, and acted like she was better than the rest of us?", the Guild Ace of Fairy Tail joked with a trollish grin.

"Thank you Volcanis!", Natsu happily said before asking. "Can we go flying in Fiore? Igneel used to take me flying around with him. I would love to feel it again!"

Chuckling, the Magma Dragon obliged. "Very well, then. Hold on to me, son of Igneel."

The young Fire Dragon Slayer eagerly stood up to move himself from Volcanis' snout to the back of her head. "I'm ready, Volcanis!", he cheered.

"Wait, you're coming back right?", the little white haired girl asked with concern.

Natsu reassured, "Don't worry Lisanna! I will be fine! I never fall off from Igneel before!"

"I reassure you, little one. No harm will befall to him.", Volcanis reassured her while gently transmitting her thoughts with Telepathy to the youngest Strauss girl. I see you are infatuated with Natsu. How adorable and sweet.

Lisanna blushed red in response after apparently receiving the female Dragon's approval. "T-thank you, Miss Volcanis!"

"Why the hell are you blushing Lisanna?", Mirajane demanded after seeing her baby sister looking flustered.

"Uh, nothing, big sis! Just the heat from Miss Volcanis.", the young Strauss girl excused.

Elfman rolled his eyes as he knew Lisanna has a crush on Natsu but let her have it anyway.

"Just bring him home safe!", Makarov recommended as he knew the pink haired boy will be alright and the Magma Dragon is trustworthy.

"Indeed, I will. It will just be a short flight across Fiore.", she simply stated.

Spreading her fiery wings to fly and jumped good with her legs, Volcanis ascended to the skies with Natsu holding on to her from the back of her head which the humans braced themselves from the waves of the wind pressure. "WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THIS IS AWESOME!", the Fire Dragon Slayer cheered with euphoria and nostalgia.

"You really missed Igneel huh?", the Magma Dragon chuckled as she maneuvered around the clouds before descending down to glide through Magnolia Town's lake, further increasing the boy's joy of flying with a Dragon. This only strengthened her resolve to make sure that Igneel will own up to his mistakes he made against Natsu once she found him one way or another.

"YUP! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!", Natsu answered as he held on to her rock-covered form with the wind blowing through his face and scarf of Dragon scales.

"Alright then, perhaps we will search for Igneel together while we are at it. With my wings, we can cover more ground faster.", Volcanis declared as she increased her speed, leaving behind Fairy Tail and Magnolia.

The Fire Dragon Slayer seemed to agree with her, "I'M ALL FIRED UP!"

With that, a boy and the Magma Dragon had left Magnolia for now and started their own flight journey around Fiore to find the missing Fire Dragon King together.


At Tenrou Island

Somewhere in the middle of ocean nearby the mainland of Ishgar, there was an entire island which was dominated by a forest of yellow and green colored trees, but despite that, the island was marked by a large rocky base, jutting outwards and upward from the ground, almost like a crown had been set on the ground of the island at an angle.

From the sides of the rocky crown were at least two waterfalls visible from here. Topping the island is a gigantic tree with a gnarled, twined trunk rising into the air. Its reach was so wide that it looked almost like someone had stuck another island on top of the original.

Zeref Dragneel, the Black Wizard and older brother of Natsu Dragneel, was sitting on the edge of the cliff where he can see the clear skies and ocean in front of him. "I am glad that you found your happiness, Natsu. Volcanis would make a great mother figure for you.", he softly spoke with a small smile.

As his little brother was reborn an Etherious albeit his true Curse power remained dormant until awakened by the Book of E.N.D. which was currently in Mard Geer's hands, the Black Wizard can sense the life forces of his creations, such as the members of Tartaros, all bound to him as insurance that they won't remain alive on Earth Land once he finally dies with his wish fulfilled. The last thing he needed is leaving the Etherious behind to continue their rampage and evil ways upon humanity. Through this connection, he knew of their thoughts and memories that they keep to themselves.

Of course, Zeref found the Demons of Tartaros distasteful with their malevolent personalities and actions, and left them be. He is more invested in Natsu anyway, watching over him finding a place in Fairy Tail, the guild founded by Mavis Vermillion long time ago and now meeting Igneel's ex-retainer.

Then he frowned, remarking. "It is a miracle that Acnologia did not sense Volcanis when she woke up and flew around Ishgar. He must have probably slept as well. I suppose that even the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse has his needs. Needs that Irene Belserion was denied from due to the trauma and damage she had suffered inflicted on her body and mind."

He finished, "Otherwise, he would have already left Mt. Zonia to attack her by now."

Getting up from the edge of the cliff, the 400 year old immortal walked away and entered into the woods of Tenrou Island where the animal residents stayed far away from him after suffering his outbursts of attacks caused by his cursed Anhkseram Black Magic.

"I am so sorry Volcanis. But you are going on a wild goose chase and you will not like the terrible truth of what really happened to the entire Dragon race once you find out eventually...", Zeref sadly declared as he can already tell the fallout from that.


At Selene's Temple, Elentear

"Ugh... Where am I?..."

Brain woke up upon opening his eyes and found himself in a bed. Getting up, he inspected his surroundings and noticed the room clearly looked like that from the temple or one of those oriental-style inns in Fiore. The would-be head of the Oracion Seis looked down to see that he is in his sleeping clothes instead of his previous attire. He even noticed that Klodoa staff is missing and nowhere around in sight.

Not to mention that his own large magic reserves have increased a lot for some reason. He can sense the overabundant amount of Magic Power around him and yet he's still alive and not suffering any sign of detrimental effects at all.

Zero, can you hear me?, he called out.

Yes, I can hear you Brain. My head! What the hell happened to us?!, the alter-ego demanded, feeling agitated and wary.

The last thing I recall that we got engulfed in a bright light and suddenly here we are., Brain replied as he get off from the bed and stood on the floor. If I have to guess, we were rescued before the Magma Dragon and Jaguar got their claws on us.

Indeed, I have. Glad that you two are awake. Now, why don't you refresh yourselves and meet me on the top of my temple for lunch? Don't be late. We have so much to talk about, Dr. Bryan Ockado and Zero., the familiar female voice called out to the man with two souls.

Brain and Zero are alarmed after sensing such immense magic power far greater than even themselves combined from their host/savior casually communicating with them through Telepathy aside from her knowing about the former's real name. Even though they do not respect anyone normally, the man with two souls decided to do as she instructed, not wanting to upset the mysterious woman if they didn't comply especially when they are at her mercy under her roof. Brain refreshed himself with a bath of the temple of his room and put on the kimono for men already placed out for him.

It was form-fitting and accurate for his measurements but comfortable enough to wear befitting an honored guest.

After dressing up, Brain headed his way to the top of the temple by sensing the woman's magical signature and it was so massive that no one can miss it. Such power could give both the Spriggan 12 and the Four Gods of Ishgar a run for their money. It is even greater than the Magma Dragon too as well. He can tell that she is clearly amused and patient. Still, he would have to get the bottom of this and find out about her when they meet face to face.

The temple's interior has walls with various intricate designs such as a dragon, flowers and various symbols while its floor is covered in tatami mats and various flower pots. And upon arriving, he arrived at his destination in form of a intricate door.

"Welcome, Lady Selene has been expecting you.", the female attendant in a kimono politely greeted the man with two souls before opening the door for the dark wizard to enter the main room where their host is waiting for them.

Selene welcomed with a warming smile as she displayed the food and drinks on the table that were set up by her group of female servants with a wave of her hands, "Ah, the honored guest has come at last. Help yourself. You must be famished."

She clapped her hands which her servants started playing a soothing music with their instruments.

"Master Brain! I am glad you are alright!", Klodoa cried out in joy as he floated around the room. Apparently, he dropped the act of being more than just an inanimate staff after being brought here by this Selene woman.

It is clear they see Klodoa as a comic relief in the temple.

Being hungry himself, the dark-skinned man sat on the chair and began to eat the food on the plate with good table manners. Despite what others perceive him back when he was working in the world of dark guilds and his no-respect attitude to others, he is not a classless savage brute after all. The food was really good and well-cooked, and it is clear that she expected him to dine.

While dining, Brain did notice Selene drinking from a sake cup poured for her by one of her female servants.

After finishing his meal, Brain watched and stayed where he is as the servants take away the empty plates and cups before they all leave the room. Even Klodoa left as he followed the ladies a bit too eagerly. The Oracion Seis leader wasn't even surprised of his sentient staff's pervert nature. Right now, it is just him and Selene. Time to get our answers., he stated with Zero agreeing.

Knowing what he is thinking, the blonde woman smiled. "I see you wanted answers right, Dr. Bryan?"

"Yes, Lady Selene. While I am grateful for you rescuing me before I was taken down by the Dragon and Jaguar, I can't help but ask questions to sate my curiosity. Who are you, where am I and what do you want with me?", the former head of the Bureau of the Magical Development.

"Three questions all at once? Very well, I will answer them.", she said before replying with a dark looking smile as her magical power was briefly exerted with her large aura shaping with that of her Dragon form. "To answer your first question: I am Selene, one of the Five Dragon Gods. The very beings the Magic Council tried to hide our existence from the rest of Earth Land as the remaining Dragons alive aside from Acnologia and sought our elimination through the failing quest from Elefseria the Law Dragon and the Hybrid Theory project that you were a part of in the past."

Alarmed that he encountered another Dragon but remained composed as she is not really hostile compared with Volcanis, Brain commented on her beautiful human form and not even batting at an eye at her voluptuous body. "So that explains how the Five Dragon Gods were able to remain hidden for centuries. Blending in as humans. I recall that in the history books, Dragons do not seem to have the ability to do that and are proud of themselves and their power as the dominant race on Earth Land."

Zero within him scoffed, Just like that blasted Dragon and her Magma-Maker creations she sent to toy with us!

Selene shrugged, "It was more out of convenience. Transformation Magic is very easy to learn, which you can compare to someone changing their clothes. Except for Aldoron. He is the only Dragon God who could not assume a human shape because of his colossal form serving as the foundation of Draseal's five cities he carried at his back and he lies dormant."

She then offhandedly commented, "I recall that the Council's branch of Guiltina were watching him and building up their own Dragon Slayer unit strong enough to fight him when he finally wakes up to rampage through their application of the Hybrid Theory. Although they would bite off far more than they can chew when the time comes."

He and Zero agreed on that since fighting a Dragon especially when they were toying with them, like humans fool around with ants or maggots, is suicidal and a death sentence. As Jellal and his fanatical followers of the now defunct Tower of Heaven had learned the hard way from the Magma Dragon herself.

Brain then pondered, "I see. What is this place, Lady Selene? I can feel the overwhelming Magic power around me here. As a scientist myself, I know that living organisms cannot live in areas of extremely concentrated Ethernano or else they would have suffered detrimental effects upon the structure of the human body."

Yes, just like Ultear Milkovich, the daughter of that annoying woman Ur whom you experimented on and let her blow up the facility to make it look like an accident before going rogue., Zero snided which the man ignored him.

The Moon Dragon God in human form answered with a chuckle, "My answer to your second question is that you are in Elentear. The Transcendental World of Magic, doctor. I possess the power to cross through dimensions wherever I please and this world is one of my domains I claimed for myself. Think of Elentear as an opposite to Edolas whose magic has become limited and to Earth Land whose magic may be rich but not to the point of overflowing."

"Fascinating. And the humans of Elentear have evolved to handle this world's over-abundant magic power, am I correct?", the white haired muscular man remarked that he is on another world and that a power to travel to them exists.

Yes, so many worlds to explore. So many worlds to destroy! The possibilities are endless!, Zero entertained the idea with sadistic glee.

"You are correct, doctor. Aside from Magic, the residents of Elentear are able to use Spirit Arts. They are different from Magic and Curses, and can be created through the use of Spiria.", Selene replied as she refilled her sake cup.

"And my third question?", he asked while filing away about Curses in his head to learn them later.

"What I wanted from you is to join forces with me and help me create a guild of my own. A Guild of Dragon Slayers with myself as their leader.", she revealed with an ambitious smirk.

The man with two souls got all of his three questions answered from Selene. A Dragon Slayer-exclusive Guild is not unheard of such as Diabolos, the strongest Legal Guild recognized in Guiltina.

"I see. So that's why you brought me here. To use my knowledge and capabilities to create Dragon Slayers for you. But... how much do you know about the Hybrid Theory that you took interest on?", Brain wondered, testing her to see her extent of her knowledge about it and Dragons are said to be the most intelligent beings on Earth Land after all.

Putting down her sake cup, the Moon Dragon God obliged, "You wish to know, Dr. Ockado? Very well, the Hybrid Theory was a secret project conducted by the Magic Council to create their generation of Dragon Slayers by artificial means. Three generations to be exact. They were inspired by the man named Georg Reizen. Infamously known as "The Dragon Eater" for slaying the surviving Dragons including the mighty Elexion the Lightning Dragon King on Guiltina where he either devoured them or let the new members of his Diabolos guild have the honor to gain their powers."

She laughed, "Fuhahahahahahaha! Humans who have consumed the flesh of Dragons are truly frightening."

Brain raised an eyebrow at Selene's lack of concern about the fact her kind was killed and eaten by humans but brushed it off. Meanwhile, Zero doesn't care about it and found this Georg Reizen to be impressive for a man who can stand up to Dragons, destroy them and lived to tell the tale, imagining a scene of the man successfully slaying and consuming Volcanis.

"Where was I? Ah yes. With that, they tasked you, Dr. Bryan Ockado the genius man who created hundreds of types of new Magics, to create 3 Generations of Dragon Slayers at the Bureau of Magical Development. And with numerous trial and errors, you have succeeded.", Selene explained with praise to Brain, which the Oracion Seis leader knew that his years of making Hybrid Theory a reality involved dead and mutilated human test subjects, mostly from abandoned orphans, convicted prisoners - regardless if they were innocent or guilty, and unlucky schmucks kidnapped as "volunteers".

Ethics are overrated anyway and he was making the mother of all omelettes for no one should fret over every egg.

Raising her 3 human fingers one by one, she stated. "The 2nd Generation - Dragon Slayers who are implanted with the Lacrima processed from harvested Dragon body parts that contain great magic power even in death just like Dogramag's corpse for a notable example; the 3rd Generation - who have naturally learned Dragon Slayer Magic through the tomes or taught by Dragons, albeit the latter is rare, and had their bodies implanted with the Dragon Lacrima; and finally the 4th Generation - human warriors who had their weapons and armors forged from the Dragon scales and bones, imbuing them with the Dragons' power whenever they use it."

With a wave of her hands, Selene conjured three human-shaped beings made out of moonlight energy that represented the three generations of Dragon Slayers. One with a Dragon Lacrima visible within the body; the other with a Dragon Lacrima and a Dragon by their sides; and the last one has the wielded a sword and shield that have the Dragon bones next to them.

The Oracion Seis leader nodded, impressed that Selene did her research well about Hybrid Theory which he bets that it is through her spy network on Earth Land or most likely sneaking in with her Transformation Magic guise and the power to cross worlds. On the other hand, learning how to use Dragon Slayer Magic through the tomes found from the ruins of Dragnof takes years of training and effort. Elefseria was the best known example from the confidential archives of the Magic Council before he went rogue.

She continued, "They hired Georg to bring them the bodies of Dragons as components for the Hybrid Theory project with very generous sums of money paid to him, and test out their first three products they have created in a free for all battle. The 2nd Generation: God Serena "The Eight Dragons", the 3rd Generation: Filomena E. Fiore "The Invoker of Dragons" and finally the 4th Generation: Bram Kaden "The Dragon Knight"..."

Brain remembered how much massive amounts of magic and destruction thrown around between the four Dragon Slayers, which Zero seemed to agree with him, and now had confirmation that Selene did use her power to cross worlds to observe the fight somewhere and got her interested in the Council's most ambitious project in the first place.

"Of course, Georg Reizen was coined as the 5th Generation along with his Dragon Eaters, but the Diabolos guild master could care less about it and simply found the whole endeavor with the Hybrid Theory interesting.", Selene concluded with a smile.

Having heard enough, the would-be Oracion Seis leader demanded, "What do you get out of this if I joined you and helped you create your Guild of Dragon Slayers?"

"Distortion.", the Moon Dragon God answered.

Brain wondered with a confused look, "Distortion?"

Selene explained, "Distortion gives rise to power. A Dragon God and an army of those who wield the power of Dragons will join hands to defeat the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse. That kind of Distortion will result the power of the world..."

"And your purpose is to bring down Acnologia!", the older dark-skinned man noted with shock and realization. His alter-ego even shivered at the mention of Acnologia and that says a lot coming from him of all people.

"Indeed. While my four fellow Dragon Gods: Mercphobia, Aldoron, Ignia, and Viernes are in my way and will be eliminated eventually in the future, Acnologia is the far bigger threat that needs to be taken care of. I am looking at the far bigger picture, Dr. Bryan. As long as he is not killed, my world will not come to fruition.", the female Dragon in human form agreed.

"What kind of world?", Brain wondered with Zero being curious himself too.

Selene revealed with an ominous smile, "A world devoid of Dragons. A world of only humans."

He and Zero are quite surprised of her goal that seems contradictory to them. "A world of only humans?... What would you gain from that?", he wondered out loud.

"I will live and rule in my desired world as a human. A human with the strongest power that even the likes of the Spriggan 12 and their so-called Emperor Spriggan from Alakitasia pale in comparison to me and my power over dimensions.", the Moon Dragon God replied with a conniving smile.

"Do you wish to become human? It is quite a surprise since you are a Dragon God.", the former Bureau of Magical Development commented.

Shaking her head as she leave her seat, Selene said, "It's not because I want to. It's simply a providence of this age. The Age of Dragons ended 400 years ago. Acnologia and we Five Dragon Gods delayed our demise for 400 years. That also includes my children who do whatever they please so long they don't get the Black Dragon's attention and Volcanis who had recently awakened and yet to learn the truth of our kind's current status quo. Now it would be the time to truly end that age and usher the proper Age of Man."

Selene has children huh? They probably have human disguises just like their mother., Brain speculated as he left his seat to follow her to the balcony of her temple.

I wouldn't be surprised if they also serve her as her eyes and ears with the power to cross dimensions they inherited from her. She can't be everywhere at once even with her power of a Dragon God., Zero dryly remarked.

While viewing the landscape of Elentear from the balcony of her temple, the dark-skinned man wondered, "So about your children and Volcanis, Lady Selene. Are they Dragon Gods too as well or at least the closest thing to your level?"

Selene shook her head as she retorted, "No, none at all. We five are more of a... special case. We originally fled to Guiltina and plotted to get stronger so that we can take down Acnologia together, thus our powers have steadily grew up to his level. However, as centuries pass by, the Dragon Gods lost the motivation. Mercphobia is content of ruling a small town of Ermina, Aldoron slumbers with five human cities of Draseal inhabiting his body, Viernes is doing who knows what and Ignia is probably brooding at his fiery domain or destroying nations randomly at a whim, hoping to attract Acnologia's attention."

"And finally, Dogramag was slain by Elefseria the Law Dragon who had nearly died if it weren't for his Dragonification completing his transformation, and he was the weakest among the Dragon Gods.", she said with a look of disappointment before narrowed her eyes which displayed a hint of her true nature of a Dragon. "But make no mistake. Just because Volcanis or any of my children did not become Dragon Gods like me, it doesn't mean that they are less dangerous."

Having personal experience with the Magma Dragon's little skirmish back at the Tower of Heaven, Brain nodded in agreement with the female Dragon God in human form. Selene reverted her Dragonic slits back to normal like nothing happened at all.

"For 400 years, we five kept each other in check while distorting the world of Earth Land. Because our strength is perfectly balanced, if we were to collide, the two worst cases would be our mutual destruction and Acnologia's attention. Furthermore, someone could have aimed to profit from our fighting. Someone like the Magic Council obviously.", the female Dragon God stated.

Pointing at the white haired man, Selene stated. "That's where humans come in. With the decline of the Dragons as a race, humans have filled the vacuum left behind where they progressed their civilization, built great wonders and terrors, and produced powerful wizards with every generation such as the Spriggan 12 and the Ten Wizard Saints as notable examples."

With his eyebrows raised, Brain said, "Quite a huge praise for us despite we are the weakest race on Earth Land and probably other worlds you have visited."

"The other Dragon Gods, who hold contempt for humanity, do not believe the strength they possess and their potential to grow even stronger. But I am different. I was convinced when I saw the three Dragon Slayers of the Hybrid Theory and their strength in battle myself with the man who devoured Dragons. With my own large gathering of loyal followers willing to volunteer and the vast resources Elentear has to offer, my own Guild of Dragon Slayers will be soon realized!", Selene commented.

Reaching out her hand to him, she declared. "If you two and I work together, we could defeat Acnologia and change the world of Earth Land."

This resonated well with Brain who wanted to bring down the status quo and establish a new world order with Nirvana originally with his five Oracion Seis children he intend to raise and bound them to his Six Prayers spell. And if he could convince Selene the value of finding Nirvana, it would increase their chances of taking down Acnologia with the ancient magical weapon's power and her own personal guild of Dragon Slayers created by him.

Although, while it annoyed Zero that they will have to work with the Moon Dragon God, he found the idea of destroying Acnologia the ultimate prey very exciting. Perhaps he could find a way to obtain favor from Selene that he would be granted a new body for his soul to inhabit. As a bonus, Zero could even obtain his own Darkness Dragon Slayer Magic as part of the Guild of Dragon Slayers she and Brain are going to build!

"Alright, we're in.", the man with two souls declared with their two voices speaking in unison.

Selene smirked with triumph as her voice got deeper into that of her true Dragon form, "Excellent! From now on, we are now allies! Be proud, Brain and Zero! You should feel quite superior with a Dragon God at your back!"

The Moon Dragon God then jumped off the balcony with a backflip and transformed into that of a nine-tailed fox-looking Dragon with furred tails as wings in front of the astonished dark-skinned man.

Before she roared out loud for all of the people of Elentear to hear with the Full Moon glowing brighter.


Author's Note: Alright, the fourth chapter of "A Boy and the Magma Dragon" is done and I hope you like it. Volcanis meeting Fairy Tail where she believes that Erza is the descendant of Irene Belserion (We know that she is her daughter and the Scarlet Despair is alive for 400 years and is at Alvarez Empire) and Laxus holds the power of Elexion the Lightning Dragon King, mistakenly assuming he gave the young man his power, not knowing the true circumstances regarding Diabolos.

Meanwhile, Brain joined forces with Selene and she intends to wage war against Acnologia in order to pave way for her world of only humans where she is on top of the Pecking Order. Normally, Brain and Zero do not respect anyone they look down on especially Jellal and the five members of the canon Oracion Seis but since his host was a Dragon God who can easily crush him like pancake if he had trash talked and/or provoked at her, he had to play nice and hear her out.

And that Selene also doesn't know that one of her children, Kurnugi's already being dead and devoured at the time when talking about Georg Reizen in her discussion with Brain. Awkward...

Also, I was very disappointed with the Quartum Army from Dragon Cry movie whose purpose is to serve as an automaton army for the Fairy Tail mages to fight and defeat, and later canonized in order to pave way for the introduction of the 5th Generation in the 100 Years Quest manga, so I decided to make my own version of the 4th Generation in this story.

Credits goes to sleepingfairy28, and I recommend that you guys should go check out and read her stories. They're good read.

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
