Hello there my fellow dragons and other mythologies and this will be the chapter where things will really pick up pace in the story. I hope you all enjoy the story!
I don't own Fairy Tail nor its characters and the character of Deez and the idea of Katja being a Grand Summoner comes from the writer chaosphoenix123
Chapter 4: Protecting Earthland
Earthland 1672-AP:
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Natsu screams as he slams his head into the table he is at with his team before Lucy puts a hand on his shoulder as comfort
"Come on Natsu, it wasn't that bad..." Lucy responds, hoping to cheer the fire dragon slayer up
"Its not Luce!" Natsu exclaims, throwing his head back exasperated "Those bandits were extremely weak!"
What is happening at the moment is that Team Natsu had just gotten back from a job that required them to fend off some bandits from a museum and lets just say...they weren't a challenge at all for the team so they headed back pretty quickly. Now at the moment, Natsu was complaining, Lucy was trying to comfort him, Erza was eating her strawberry cake, Wendy was listening to her fellow slayer speak along with Carla, Happy was eating a fish he got from Mira, and Gray just had his eyes closed trying to relax.
"Those bandits were said to be challenging but in the end we were able to beat them with so much as one punch! Though, I'm surprised that ice princess here was able to beat any at all!" Natsu remarks with a hand to his chin in a thinking position, resulting in Gray gaining a tick mark on his head as he fully opens his eyes
"What did you say mouth breather?!" Yells Gray in annoyance as he stands up
"I JUST SAID YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT THOSE WEAK ASS BANDITS ICICLE!" Natsu yells back, also standing up before butting heads with Gray
"YOU WANNA GO PINKY?!"
"BRING IT ONE ELSA!"
"Are you two fighting?" Erza asks in a menacing voice, causing the two to shake their heads and sit down as the others sweatdrop at this
"Well, maybe we can ask for a tougher job next time Natsu." Wendy assures him as said person sighs
"I know but after the Grand Magic games every job we've been on hasn't had a real tough opponent. I just wish we could fight someone who proves to be a real challenge..." He wishes, pouting slightly to himself witha certain white furred Exceed shaking her head slightly
"Be careful what you wish for. Out there, there can be a person who could pose a real threat" Carla tells him
"I guess your right-"
Natsu didn't even have time to finish his sentence as three figures suddenly crash through the roof of the guild and land in the middle of the guildhall. As the guild looks on in shock as to what happened the figures begin to rise and they only gain even more shocked complexions. Standing there was a boy who looked eerily similar to Romeo but with blue marking on his arms and two katanas on his back, next to him was a girl who looked real similar to Wendy but with shorter hair and on her lap was a white puffball thing with a puffy tail and two antenna on its head as they either rub their heads or dust themselves off.
"You know what, I'm still hoping that our landing don't always involve a fall." Romeo comments, rubbing his head while standing up
"Same here." Katja replies before standing up before noticing Deez poking her leg
"Master Katja." Is all he says before she looks around to notice the guilds shocked faces
"Oh umm...hello there everyone. I'm Katja and this little guy is Deez while the guy next to me is Romeo. We're from a different Earthland if your all asking how there is another version of Romeo here and its sort of nice to meet you all." Katja says, hoping that this will answer their questions a bit...
...Unfortunately, luck wasn't on her side as they guild suddenly floods them with said questions she tried to avoid ever so slightly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR FROM ANOTHER EARTHLAND?!"
"ARE YOU TWO EVIL?!"
"AHHHH! AN EVIL ROMEO!"
"THIS IS SO FASCINATING!"
"YOU LOOK SO COOL!"
"WHY IS THAT THING STARING AT MY CHEST?!"
"AM I ALIVE IN YOUR EARTHLAND?!"
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH!" Makarov bellows from behind, ceasing his guild's shouting before clearing his throat as he looked up towards the three
"So two are really from another Earthland?" He questions in interest
"We are." The second Romeo says while crossing his arms, ignoring the ringing in his ears from all the yelling though a tiny bit of annoyance was on his face
"Well before I start I wonder, what should we call you?" Makarov asks while looking at the second version of the purple haired boy in slight wonder
"Call me ARC, don't ask why." The second Romeo says simply, getting a nod from the older male
"Alright...so would you mind introducing yourself's? My guild would love to hear about you a bit." The Guild Master asks as the guild looks on in interest. I mean how could they not? These three are from a whole different Earthland! Though at this, the two multiverse travelers stare at each other in slight caution, mostly Katja, while Deez just stares at the females in the guild hall. After a slight nod and or shrug, the two look back at the little guild master.
"Okay...My name is Katja and I'm a type of summoning mage called a Grand Summoner." This peaks the interests of everyone but mostly Lucy, Levy, and Freed
"Grand...Summoner?" Lucy asks confused, never hearing of this type of summoning magic before in her life
"Oh, its a type of summoning magic back in our Earthland, though I am uncertain if it exists here." Katja replies to her fellow summoner
"I never heard of it before, or even read about it..." Freed comments to himself, though the bluenette still hears him
"Well that's...different. Anyways this little guy here is my summoning partner who we call Deez; He helps me control some of my summons to prevent them from going out of control." She says before pointing to Deez, who isn't paying attention as he is looking at all the girls in the guildhall while mumbling something about boobies
"I also know Purple Flare magic-
"YOU KNOW PURPLE FLARE?!" Macao interrupts shocked, as well as a goof portion of the guild
"...Yes." Katja answers before gesturing to ARC, who was just observing. "Romeo here taught me."
"HE MUST BE A GREAT TEACHER! AFTER ALL I MUST HAVE TAUGHT HIM!" Macao says with pride while his Romeo shakes his head in embarrassment
"Actually you didn't teach me, I knew myself and I don't even use Purple Flare at all." ARC corrects as he watches his "father" fall to the floor depressed with a dark cloud over his head, getting some people to sweatdrop at this
"So what kind of magic do you know?" Romeo asks his double, curious to know along with the guild
"Simple, I'm a Dragon Slayer." Said slayer replies, though his eyebrow twitched as if expecting some loud noise to be blasted into his ears
.
.
.
Yet thankfully his senses were wrong for once, as the guild didn't know how to respond to this revelation as the three look around and notices they're shocked faces.
"A-A-A-A dragon slayer...?" Natsu manages to stutter out not out of fear but...excitement
"Yep, the strongest one on my Earthland too!" ARC answers pridefully with a large fanged grin on his face, as Katja giggles silently at her friends happiness
"THEN FIGHT ME!" Natsu yells before jumping in front of ARC, making everyone blink surprised as their eyes were wide
"...What?" ARC asks a tad bit confused; Did this version of Natsu want to die, cause he wasn't sure how much he'd be able to hold back against him...
...Or if he'd get too bored and just end the battle and accidentally kill him. Either way, he loses.
"I SAID FIGHT ME! I'VE BEEN DESPERATE FOR A NEW CHALLENGE AND YOU SEEM LIKE THE PERFECT ONE!" Natsu yells towards his fellow slayer
"Hold on! You just can't fight random people Natsu!" Lucy yells at him, other members of the guild trying to convince him otherwise as well
"Yeah flamebrain! We don't know how strong these guys are!" Gray says, trying to reason with his rival
"Eh, sure. What the hell." ARC replies before suddenly kicking Natsu into the sky and outside of the guildhall before jumping up and decking him straight in the face, launching him into the streets of Magnolia before he boosts after him with his magic
"NATSU!" Lucy yells after him while Katja sighs a bit
""Well it looks to be that time, lets go Deez." Katja says running off after her friend as said creature jumps on her shoulder with an "Alright!"
"...Are we gonna follow them?" Levy asks outloud, getting shrugs from everyone
"Duh." Gajeel replies simply as everyone in the guildhall in an effort to watch this fight between the two slayers
With Natsu and ARC:
Somehow the two manage to make it outside of Magnolia so the two wouldn't harm anyone in the town, not that this version of Romeo cared all too much as he prepared to land on the ground from his previous boost.
The moment he hits the ground he is greeted with a barrage of punches from Natsu in which he blocks easily before noticing the mage's attempt at kicking him, which he casually dodges. The fire mage then jumps up a bit before coming down with an axe kick, which ARC blocks with his right arm before the pink haired mage tried to go for another kick, which is also blocked by his fellow dragon slayer. Deciding to change up his strategy, Natsu would jump up and covers his fist in fire.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST" Natsu screams as he brings his fist down onto ARC, who casually puts his hand out and catches the hand in it
He would then encase his feet in fire and attempts to hit ARC with multiple swings, though all of which fail since ARC doges all of them. Deciding to stop playing defense, ARC grabs a punch Natsu throws at him before pulling him close and sending a powerful punch at his stomach; this gets the slayer to stagger back a bit as he clutches his stomach in pain, panting heavily as he tried to take rapid breaths.
"It feels as if the air in my body just suddenly went out..." Natsu thinks to himself, eyes a bit wide with some saliva even dripping a bit from his mouth
He didn't even get a chance to catch his breath fully before the other slayer appears in front of him; he then grabs Natsu by his hair and lifts him up before releasing two punches at his face. Not letting up, he punches fire mage in the stomach again, which causes the pink haired slayer to hunch over a little, before grabbing both sides of Natsu's face and kneeing his square in the face; this would cause Natsu's head to fly back as he spits out both blood and saliva before he is kicked in the side of his head, sending him flying away. A couple moments of flying away, the pink haired slayer opens his eyes to see ARC over his body as he lands on his body feet first, creating a small crater under the two as Natsu coughs up more blood.
"ACK!" Natsu cries out in pain, blood dripping from his mouth as he laid in the ground, foot on his head and keeping his down with the other slayer looking down at him with an amused smirk on his face
"What's wrong Natsu? I thought you were tougher than that." ARC mocks a little before having to jump back from a blast of fire that comes off the mage as Natsu gets up and starts panting heavily once more
"Damn...this guy is strong. I thought my bones were breaking on contact with the attacks he let off..." The fire slayer thinks to himself, trying to think of something that would give him an edge.
"Maybe this will work." He mumbles to himself before coating both of his fists in fire and running over to ARC
Natsu then begins releasing a huge barrage of fire encases punches at ARC in hopes of doing some sort of damage to him but alas, it doesn't do much as the sword wielder simply uses one hand to block all of the punches. Natsu then suddenly smirks before he uppercuts ARC, which works a little as it staggers the male back slightly before he charges up some magic, breathing in a large gulp of air.
"FIRE DRAGONS'S ROAR!"
Natsu then releases a huge wave of fire from his mouth point blank onto ARC, who flies back a bit from the impact as the ground under them scorches slightly with indents and cracks forming from the multiversal traveler going through it. Natsu then jumps in front of him before punching him directly in the face with a flaming punch and leaning the slayer into the ground with said blow; He then starts to punch ARC repeatedly in his torso and chest with almost everything he has before jumping back at him and smiles, thinking he got a bit of damage off of the mage before looking forward in complete shock at ARC's reaction.
"You done?" He simply asks while dusting himself off, though his clothes did sizzle and burn slightly from the heat
Natsu then realized something that nearly made his heart stop...ARC was barely even trying at all as he gave damn near everything from the beginning just to give off some sort of reaction. Gritting his teeth, the fire mage charges up all of the magic he currently has before unleashing the most powerful attack he can at the moment.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
Sure it didn't work much the first time but it would work again right...wrong. ARC merely puts his hand out and disperses the attack
"You had your fun, but now its my turn?" ARC comments as he coats his fist in blue and white energy before appearing suddenly in front of Natsu, who widens his eyes at the speed used
"APOCALYPSE DRAGON'S DEMOLITION FIST!" He yells before slamming that fist directly into Natsu's face, causing him to spit out tons of blood as he flies back. All of a sudden, ARC appears behind the mage and spin kicks him into the sky a little before appearing above him and relentlessly sends barrages of magic covered punches at Natsu's body until they both arrived at the ground.
"AAAARRRRGGGHHH!" The fire slayer could only scream in pain as ARC punches him before he stops and smirks at him
"Come on Natsu, I thought you wanted a challenge? At this rate your not even gonna scratch me." The dragon slayer tells him
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Natsu yells as his Lightning Fire Dragon mode before charging at ARC
Natsu tries unleashing a whole series of punches at ARC but said person was only dodging his punches before uppercutting him into the sky. Natsu, however, brings his fist up and covers it in fire and lightning before he brings it down onto ARC's head, which he also blocks.
"LIGHTNING FIRE DRAGONS FIRING HAMMER!" Natsu screams as he adds more magic onto his attack before getting suddenly kicked away and into a couple of trees.
"What the hell...?" Natsu says as he rises up and eyes widen at what hit him
What he had seen was ARC standing up looking at him but not by himself...but with an exact replica of him.
"Neat trick huh?" The original ARC comments as he cracks his knuckles "Clone magic really comes in handy sometimes."
"Ready me?" The clone asks, looking at the fire mage
"You bet!" The original says as the two speeds off towards Natsu
Natsu tries to put up some type of guard but is overwhelmed the moment the two begins punching him at the same time. ARC then throws a punch at the pink haired male which launches him into the sky before his clone jumps up starts attacking him in the air with a multiple barrage of punches and kicks. Then, the clone punches Natsu further into the sky before going behind him and punching him away and begins punching around in the sky. ARC then comes jumps up and covers his fist in blue and white magic...
"RAGNAROK FIST OF THE APOCALYSPE DRAGON!" ARC yells before punching Natsu so hard it knocks him out of his Lightning Dragon state and into the nearby body of water they somehow got close to as he disperses his clone and stands above the water with a smirk, waiting for the male to rise once again
With Katja and Fairy Tail:
The group of Fairy Tail couldn't believe what they were seeing. Natsu was getting destroyed by this other version of Romeo and even they could tell that this guy wasn't fighting Natsu seriously while Katja and Deez looks on with a worried face, really hoping their Romeo doesn't overdo it and accidentally kill the fie slayer.
"I-I can't believe this other version of me is this strong..." Romeo manages to stammer out, surprised that his idol was getting beaten so easily and how strong this other version of him is as Deez looks at him
"Of course he is this strong. You thought him saying he was the strongest Dragon Slayer was a joke?" The puffball asks
"N-No but..." Romeo starts as he tries to explain himself to the creatre
"Question who was his dragon?" Gajeel mutters. If he knew all of these powerful attacks then the person who trained him must be strong as well.
"Oh that's easy, its Acnologia." Deez says simply...before blinking as he wonders if he should've said that but thought it'd be fine
This causes everyone to go silent as they're eyes widen in complete shock. The horrible dragon who attacked and attempted killing those on Tenrou Island and brought Fairy Tail to the bottom was the dragon who trained this version of Romeo. Meanwhile, Katja looks at the two's fight with a single thought on her mind...
"Romeo feels weaker than how he was back home, why is that?"
Back with ARC and Natsu:
Natsu was currently underwater injured with multiple marks, scratches, and probably a few shattered bones. He knew he wanted a challenge but this guy here was completely dominating him with next to no effort at all; every one of his attacks barely put a mark on him while any attack ARC did hit like a tank. Despite this, he refused to give up! He wouldn't let this guy humiliate him this bad as he powers up to his max.
ARC however, was standing on the edge of the water as he waits to see what Natsu will try next. A sneak attack with a blast maybe? He didn't know. Sure, this version of the fire slayer wasn't as strong as his own, in fact his could wipe the floor with this guy without any difficulty. Despite this, he was still enjoying himself beating down on a Natsu regardless of who it was.
All of a sudden, a huge fiery explosion erupts from the water as Natsu appears from it boosting towards ARC, though he looks different. He has scale like marks on his body as well as being enveloped in a fiery aura with heat that he can feel even from his distance away. This only meant one thing...
...Natsu has entered Dragon Force, and Romeo was a bit excited to see how this would play out.
The dragon slayer would practically roar in this form as he throws a fire coated punch directly at ARC, who holds up his arm to block the attack with an excited glint in his eyes.
"Great job Natsu! You can show me even more power! I will enjoy beating you even more now!" ARC exclaims while a feral grin forms on his face while his eyes flicker on and off from glowing white
Natsu then begins releasing a heavy barrage of punches at ARC's body as by each passing second the fire mage's strikes seems to have been getting faster before he manages to kick ARC away a bit; not letting up, he releases a quick fire dragon roar before speeding off behind him to punch him. However, ARC launches a blast that disrupts the fire and stomps his foot onto the ground, cracking it as rocks and pebbles fly up from the move.
"APOCALYPSE DRAGON'S PILLAR!"
All of a sudden, a pillar of magic erupts from the ground and strikes Natsu from under and into the sky. ARC then jumps up and begins to unleash a barrage of punches at the slayer but this time, Natsu is able to counter his fists with his own and the two begin to clash as huge shockwaves sprout from this battle, the winds tearing through the area as a result. The pink haired male then goes from a knee to the side of ARC's head but ARC blocks before punching him across the face; Natsu in return would lean back a bit before he headbutts Romeo, which staggers him a little before unleashing a flaming punching directly at ARC's stomach and knocks him back a good distance and back onto the ground.
"This is good..." ARC remarks, gaining his footing as he smiles in pure bloodlust and excitement at his opponent
"Is that all you got?!" He shouted from the ground, getting a bigger surge of power from the fire dragon slayer
"NOT EVEN CLOSE!" Natsu yells before jumping up into the sky and covering his fists in more fire and putting all of his magic into it before swirling it around into a huge vortex and aiming it at the other dragon slayer
"DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART: EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!" He shouts, getting ever so closer to Romeo who got into some form of battle stance
"If you are going to unleash your secret art then here's mine! Consider it a thanks for this battle!" ARC yells while coating his fist in blue and white magic and pulling it back before stopping, feeling something...off.
"There's something wr-
ARC didn't even get a chance to finish his thought before the fiery vortex comes crashing down onto him , creating fiery shockwaves and a huge explosion that somehow happens as what is left there is a big crater and dust surrounding the area. Natsu, seeing this, falls to the ground trying to regain his breath as his dragon force is lifted.
"Did...did I win?" He mutters to himself before looking at where ARC is when the dust clears to see ARC standing there as if nothing happened. Though, he does seem to have some marks on him and his vest seems to have been burned off, revealing the many scars on his body as he looked down upon the slayer.
"That was a great job Natsu. Though, it seems that I would have to end this fight sadly." ARC says while wiping himself off and walking towards the slayer
Natsu, seeing how ARC was still up, powers up his dragon force again and zooming at him with a punch. Though, the slayer simply catches it with a bored look on his face and punches Natsu directly in the face, knocking his dragon force out and knocking him out in the process as he fell onto his back unconscious.
With Fairy Tail, Katja, and Deez:
"He lost..." Erza says surprised, along with the rest of the guild
"Salamander used every trick he had as well" Gajeel says as Katja smiles
"I guess I had nothing to worry about after all." She says while looking at Wendy, though one could see a tiny twitch in her eyebrow if you looked closely.
"Your friend might need some healing, but do you mind healing Romeo a bit as well? He also took some hits." She asks her fellow bluenette, who snaps out of her shock and looks up at the older woman.
"Oh-Oh alright!" Wendy says before rushing off to the dragon slayer along with some other members of the guild to make sure their friend was okay
Timeskip to later in the day:
After the fight between the alternate Romeo and Natsu, the day went just like a normal day in Fairy Tail...well, as normal as it can get with three multiversal travelers. While the two groups fully didn't touch each other-with the travelers not having a good relation with their Fairy Tail and the guild not trusting them fully since one was Acnologia's dragon slayer-they mostly had a good day.
"So what am I like in your Earthland?" Kinana asks from the bar while she was near ARC, Katja, Deez, Romeo, Wendy, Carla, Lavy, Gajeel, and Pantherlily
"Well, I don't really know since I was gone for a while but I would say your the same as you are here, though you are dating Cobra." The Grand Summoner says and chuckles at the end. She never got a chance to tease her Kinana about her relationships when she did with her and Romeo so it was fun to tease another version even just a bit.
"C-Cobra...?" Kinana asks shocked along with the others present listening. What made her other version want to date that dark mage?!
"Yep!" Katja responds simply, even remembering a bit back when she saw the two on a mission one time
"That's...shocking." Comments Levy, not expecting that pairing at all
'What about me?" Asks Wendy a little shy, getting the other Romeo to speak up as he gave her a small smile
"You are confident and one of the most valuable mage to have with your healing and dragon slayer abilities. You can actually beat Laxus on our Eathland as well...well, at least give him a good fight." ARC tells her, laughing slightly at seeing the younger slayer's dinner saucer eyes and slightly open mouth from her shock
"R-R-Really?" Wendy asks with a hand on her mouth. She could tie or even beat Laxus in they're Earthland! LAXUS?! On top of that she was one of most important mages! She would've passed out if she wasn't so interested!
"Good job tiny." Gajeel says as he pats the wind mage's head as Deez chuckles a little
"Speaking pretty highly of her. Not surprised since you both-" Deez then quickly shut up from a glare given to him by ARC and a slightly annoyed look and pout from his master
"What about me?!" Natsu screams while coming out of nowhere
"Aye!" Happy adds happily
"You, if I had to say your stronger than Gildarts." ARC tells him, grinning as his eyes glinted as he remembered some of the fights he had with the fire mage back on his world
This causes everyone to drop whatever they were doing and looks at the small group in pure shock. Natsu, though, was the most shocked as he was trying to come out with the right words.
"S-S-S-Stronger th-than G-G-Gildarts?" Natsu somehow stammers out in utter shock
"That's what I just said yes." ARC replies before he jumps up in joy, cheering to the heavens
"I'M STRONGER THAN GILDARTS! SUCK IT ICE PRICK!" He yells laughing and points at his rival
"Actually he is too." Katja says with a sweatdrop as Natsu's hype dies down a bit as Gray's begin
"YES!" He yells
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Natsu interrupts as a pretty serious look enters his face. "WHO'S STRONGER THOUGH?!"
"Your equals." Responds Deez, making the two fall to their knees and slam their fists into the ground
"DAMMIT! TIED AGAIN!" Natsu and Gray yells at the same time while everyone else sweatdrops
"So other me..." Romeo begins
"Yeah?" ARC says while looking back at him
"Why did Acnologia decide to make you a dragon slayer?" Romeo asks while everyone else quiets down, wanting to know the answer as well
"Hmm..." ARC says leaning back "Maybe it was because he wanted a apprentice, maybe it was out of pity, maybe he just wanted to watch as Fairy Tail crumbles from one of their own being trained by the Dragon King-I don't know why the hell he did it now that I think about it, fucker never told me." ARC says as everyone besides his partners blink
"You don't know?" Wendy asks confused
"Nope!" ARC exclaims with a snap of his fingers "I don't have the slightest clue!"
This causes everyone to give him a blank look while Deez sweatdrops and Katja sighs with a smile.
"Well maybe he-
ARC suddenly stops as his face gets serious for a moment before standing up and walking out of the guildhall along with Katja and Deez, who also has a serious look on they're faces. Confused by this, a good amount of the guild hall follow them outside to see a purple portal that is crackling with electric energy and causing shockwaves to erupt from it which causes many of the guild members to cover their eyes.
"What is that thing?!" Gray yells over the wind
"It looks to be a portal, an inter-dimensional portal similar to ours." ARC replies while his eyes narrow, not liking the feeling this one is giving off
At that moment, a single person comes from the portal. They are of a tall height and looks to be that of the male gender; he also seems to have blue hair that reaches down to his waist as well as multiple necklaces and bracelets on his neck and arms. He is also wearing a blue skin tight shirt that shows off his abs and pants similar to ARC's but white and a dark blue tie on it and no shoes on.
"Uhhh, do you know him?" Natsu asks the travelers
"We don't." Katja answers with a look of caution towards the towards the male, feeling an aura coming off him similar to the ones she felt back when she worked with Acnologia
"I'll be right back." ARC says activating his dragon wings and flying off to the man's direction, shocking everyone but his partners
"HE CAN DO THAT TOO?!"
With ARC:
Romeo would make it up to the man in no time flat before stopping in front of him, curious to know who he was.
"Hey you!" The dragon slayer yells as the man looks at him with a face that made Romeo want to punch him...a whole bunch
"Oh dear, what do we have here~? An ugly boy who thinks he can be in the mere presence of me~!" This man says with a hand on his chest dramatically
"...Ugly?" Romeo mutters out, already not liking this man as his face slowly grew more and more deadpanned
"And what do we have here~? A world filled of such impure creature with not as much...beauty as me! This will not do!" The weird man says before clapping his hands together in a praying position
"In the name of our Gods, let us erase this world for not having such beaut-
Romeo, deciding he had heard enough of this man, punches this guy in the face and back a couple of feet and managed to break his nose, blood spraying from the wound as a result; the man because of this grabs his face to stop the pain a he glares at Romeo in complete hate.
"You-You dare hit me?! THE BEAUTIFUL MERY!" Mery screams at him
"Mery...your name sounds dumb." Romeo comments blankly
(If your name is Mery please don't take this the wrong way)
Mery only continues glaring at Romeo while giving out grunts at him before raising up his hands.
"MAY THE GODS DISH OUT YOUR PUNISHMENT! COME ON OUT GODS ARMY!" Mery screams at the heavens
Suddenly a large portal similar to Mery's with the size of a huge lake appears in the sky and out of it comes what looks to be hundreds of beasts of an average height begins to rain down from it and starts running towards to the town of Magnolia. Romeo, seeing this, tries to go back to the town but it stopped by Mery appearing in front of him.
"Your fight is with me for ruining my BEAUTIFUL FACE! DIE MORTAL!" Mery yells and launches himself at Romeo who rolls his eyes boredly
"Guess I'm fighting you now."
With Fairy Tail and Katja:
Meanwhile with Fairy Tail and Katja were back outside of the guild watching while Katja had summoned Bantherous to have a higher advantage and look towards the two.
"Wow, her summoning looks impressive, wouldn't you say Lucy?" Comments Erza as she looks at Lucy
"They are..." Lucy responds while looking in slight amazement at the summon
BANG!
All of a sudden a huge explosion is heard as the ground and area itself seems to shake a little, causing some people to fall and others to attempt not to.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Natsu yells before Katja gives a surprising response
"MONSTER SWARM INCOMING!" Katja yells before speeding off to fight the creatures, but right before that she looks at the guild
"IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO ATTACK MAGNOLIA! IF YOU CAN FIGHT COME HELP OUT IF YOU CAN'T PROTECT OTHERS!" She screams, now zooming off
"W-What?" Wendy questions before she, Natsu, and Gajeel all hear the coming noises of monsters yelling, screeching, and roaring approaching
"Oh shit! The girl wasn't lying!" Gajeel exclaims as he and Natsu rush off into the town to stop the approaching army
"If what he said is true then follow the girls words!" Makarov orders "If you can fight go and fight the monsters but if you can't join me in helping the civilians!"
"ALRIGHT MASTER!" The guild yells as members such as Gray, Erza, Mirajane, Elfman, Macao, Romeo, Laxus, Evergreen, and Lucy go off to fight while members like Lucy, Levy, Wendy, Freed, and Bixlow go off into the town to help any person needing it.
Back with ARC:
Romeo and Mery were currently exchanging a whole series of punching at each other without any sign of letting up; whenever Romeo attacked Mery he had a counter but when Mery attacked, Romeo had a counter.
"STOP HITTING WHERE I'M HITTING YOU DISGUSTING HUMAN!" Mery screams in absolute hate as he tries to punch the slayer but said person catches it
"How bout no. Also you refer to me as a mortal or a human, does that mean your an alien, a deity, or a human who thinks he's better than everyone else?" He says glaring at him directly at the male
"Now, where did you come from-
"I DON"T HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU!" Mery interrupts, making the slayer growl slightly in annoyance
Mery then tries to kick Romeo but he grabs his leg and starts spinning him around for a while before launching him into the ground and flying at him at full speed before punching him in the gut and deeper into the ground.
"ACK!"
"You thought that was all?!" Romeo exclaims as he cocks both his fists back, not even bothering to use his magic
Romeo then starts beating the new guy into the ground with a barrage of fist, turning him into a bloody and messy pulp before kicking him away. Mery, not wanting to fall again, clutches the ground while he is flying away and stands up, feeling his face softly.
"You...you...you dare hit MY FACE?! MY PRECIOUS FACE ONCE MORE?! THAT'S IT, YOUR DEAD! YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Mery screams powering up before raising his hand into the sky, causing pillars of what looks to be diamond to erupt from the ground and nearly hit Romeo, who jumps out of the way in the nick of time.
"YOU LIKE THAT! ITS MY DIAMOND MAGIC!" Mery yells while raising up more pillars before firing out a huge wave of diamond at Romeo, who doesn't doge in time and is hit away by the attack...though he wasn't really affected as he flew back and into a nearby building
"Alright..." Romeo says getting up and casually breaking free from his diamond prison, stretching his arms a bit as he stared at the other traveler with a bored look
"This might get somewhat troublesome and I don't feel like fighting your annoying ass. So here is it, DRAGON FORCE!" Romeo screams and tries to power up to his dragon force...and nothing happens
"Wait what...DRAGON FORCE!" Romeo attempts again but nothing happens
"Alright what the fu-
Romeo is cut off when a huge pillar of diamond hits him from the ground and launches him into the sky before another one hits him away, causing him to spit out some blood. When another one tries to hit him, the dragon slayer is ready and punches it apart, shattering the diamond into tiny pieces as Mery stands there shocked.
"Wh-Wha-how! None of my class-men were able to do that!" Mery screams out as the purple haired mage lands on the ground
"Then I must be that good." Romeo comments with a smirk
"GRRRHHHH!" Mery says before launching at Romeo and attempting to claw at him with his hands covered in diamond, but Romeo just blocks them and starts thinking to himself
"Why can't I enter dragon force, I know I have the energy to use it and I'm not tired. Matter of fact I couldn't use my secret art either, so why..."
"PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Mery yells trying to punch Romeo before getting punched away himself
"But first I need to deal with this narcissus"
With Katja:
Katja had just blasted a couple of monsters away with her propel flare magic and looks off into the distance and see's Natsu killing a few with a fire dragon roar, Gray killing some with some ice, and Erza somewhere in her heaven wheel's armor launching multiple swords at some monsters.
"Master, there are a lot of them." Deez says from on top of her head
" I know Deez!" Katja responds
Suddenly, about a dozen creatures begin to fall from above and launch themselves onto Katja, trying to claw at her body.
"PURPLE FLARE: SPIKE SHOT!"
Before the creatures can even touch her, multiple thin spikes of purple fire launch from around Katja and into the creatures chest before dispersing, causing all of the creatures to fall down onto the floor dead. Not even a second later, the bluenette is nearly clawed at by some bigger version of the creatures and manages to dodge and jump back from the creature.
"It seems you've been doing well against my comrades." It says, standing up on two legs as its slit-like eyes stare directly into the summoner's yellow ones
"I take it your the leader of these things then." Katja says with slightly narrowed eyes
"One of many, though the one that appeared here to erase the creatures of this world from the map. Though out of all the other mages here, it seems your the strongest one here." It says while getting in a stance
"I probably am, though I have a lot of questions to ask." Katja says, lifting up her bracelet as it glows a little
"All will be answered in time. However, you won't live long enough to get those answers!" The creature says while running at the female
"Come on out Aquaurin! Noventra!" Katja yells as two spirits, one being blue and the other orange, stand in front of her as her bracelet glows a bit more as she held her hand out
"Grand Summoner Fusion!" She yells as the two begin to merge together into a orange and blue creature with a bow and arrow.
"TIME TO SHOW YOU THE POWER OF FIRE AND WATER TOGETHER! GO NOVAURIN!"
The summon lifts up its bow and shoots a magic bow made of fire and surrounded in water at the leader as it dodges the bow and tries to claw at the spirit. However, the spirit dodges each of the swings before slamming itself onto the creature and hitting it away before summoning three bows and launching it at the creature, and this time its effective as a huge explosion happens as the creature is seen being launched away a little. Not soon after the spirit appears in front of the creature, lifts it up by the neck, and starts punching it the stomach a multiple series of times, causing it to spit up purple blood. Not soon after, the spirit throws it away before slamming its hands on the ground to have a pillar of fire hit into the sky, then it jumps above it and launches a wave of fire at it to knock it back onto the ground. Once on the ground, the spirit summons a fire and water bow and, before the spirit can react, launches it at the leader directly, turning it to nothing and effectively killing it.
"...Huh, thought it was going to be tougher." Deez comments with a sweatdrop
"Same here" Katja adds, though glad that the creature was relatively easy to kill
"KATJA!"
Both Deez and Katja turn around to find Natsu and his Romeo running towards them, all the while killing any monster hat got too close to them.
"Natsu, Romeo?" Katja says a bit surprised as the two come to a stop in front of her
"We saw the explosions and came to see if you were alright over here." Romeo says concerned
"Oh, I'm alright." She answers, making the two sigh in relief
"So where's ARC?" Natsu says looking around
"I think he's fighting the person who brought these things here" The bluenette responds
"We need to help him then! If these things are moderately strong then the person who brought them here must be strong as hell!" Natsu exclaims as Katja summons Bantherous
"I know that, that's why I'm going to go see if he's okay. He may be strong right now but I feel something off with him and for all I know he could be losing...highly doubt it but still." Katja says before getting on her summon and giving the two a small smile
"Make sure to protect everyone alright." She tells them, her and Deez giving them a small wave
"WAIT-
Natsu tries to reason with her before she flies off, leaving both of the fire mages standing there.
"...We're following her right?" Romeo comments
"Of course we are!" The slayer yells as he and the younger male takes off into ARC's direction
With ARC:
"This is humiliating..." Comments Romeo in his head
Currently, Romeo was covered in diamond on the ground as the new guy was staring on the other side with a smirk.
"Looks like you weren't all that after all!" Mery exclaims with a laugh
"You know, I thought you would have realized something by now." Romeo says, confusing the male slightly
"And what is that"
"I haven't even used my magic yet!"
"WHAT!"
All of a sudden, Romeo releases a explosion of his apocalypse magic to destroy all of the diamond around him and before Mery could cover him again, Romeo appears in front of him with his fist covered in blue and white magic.
"RAGNAROK FIST OF THE APOCALYPSE DRAGON!"
Romeo then launches his fist directly into Mery's chest, halting his heart for a second and knocking all the air out of his lungs, before launching another one at his stomach, which not only breaks his ribs but also impales him a little as blood poured and spurted from the wound
"ARGH!" Mery wheezes out in immense pain as he feels the air leaving his body and the blood flowing out due to the fist penetrating it, blood even pouring from his mouth as a result of the attack
"Now, goodbye!" Romeo says as he kicks the male back before he breathes in a bit
"APOCALYSPE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
At that moment, a gigantic wave of blue and white magical energy shoots towards Mery, who doesn't even have time to dodge as the blast connects, hitting him and leaving a huge chunk of the area behind him completely destroyed.
"Wow, you are really fucking weak for someone commenting about destroying this world." Romeo comments while walking towards the barely alive Mery, while the same question wanders through his mind.
"Why can't I use a lot of my magic, is it because of my resurrection? I need to ask Katja about this" Romeo mutters to himself before hearing a familiar voice from behind him
"ROMEO!"
Said person looks to see Katja and Deez on Bantherous coming towards him as said bluenette jumps off and runs in front of him.
"Are you okay?! Did he hurt you?! Did you use too much magic?! Di-
"Relax, I'm fine." He cuts her off while patting her head, making the girl blush a little before looking away
"O-Okay..." She says as Deez chuckles
"You...you disgusting fool..." Mery somehow gets out from where he is
"Oh, I thought you were dead. My mistake." Romeo says looking at him, not even the slightest bit worried
"You really thought...you could kill me...?" Mery asks and gets a blank face from the purple haired mage
"...Yes."
"Is that him, the person who brought these monsters here?" Katja says with narrow eyes as Romeo nods
"Really, he doesn't look like much." Comments the puffball getting a shrug from his friend
"By the way, is the town alright?" Romeo asks the two who nod
"We've seen a lot of people die, though despite that most of them made it out." Deez answers
"Alright then, no harm done! Well lets go to the next world or stay here for a while longer." The dragon slayer says, smiling at the two
"You...you think you've won...?" Comments Mery, giving a sadistic smile at the three
"Of course we did, you're nearly dead on the ground. Which i'm going to change by the way." Romeo says as he begins charging a magic blast in his hand before Mery starts laughing
"FOOL! A BEAUTIFUL PERSON SUCH AS MYSELF WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU! HERE'S WHERE YOUR MISTAKE LED YOU TOO!" Mery screams as his body begins to crack as diamond begins shooting everywhere as a fast pace
"Lets get out of here!" Katja exclaims quickly before typing in some random Earthland, opening up a portal, and throwing herself, Romeo, and Deez into it as the diamond starts spreading more and more
With Natsu:
After a couple of minutes of running, Natsu and Romeo finally manage to arrive to the area ARC was said to be fighting. Once they get there, the slayer starts looking around as the younger flame mage starts panting a little from the long run.
"I really need to work on my stamina..." Romeo comments before a yell from Natsu interrupts him
"ROMEO LOOK!"
At that the moment, the two look at the area to see it fully covered in diamond as the body of Mery, or what remains, seems to be encased in it as well. Not seeing the three travelers, the two starts searching around for a few minutes, having next to no luck.
"Do...do you think-" Romeo begins
"They're not dead." Natsu cuts off before smiling "They probably used that gun-thingy to escape whatever this is. I'm sure of it!"
Seeing Natsu's usual go happy response, Romeo smiles himself before looking back towards the town.
"We should get back, they are probably worried about us." Romeo says
"Of course!" Natsu exclaims
"Wherever you guys are, I hope your alright and thanks...for helping us." Natsu thinks to himself as he and Romeo walk back to Magnolia
With that said, this chapter is officially done! I hope you all enjoyed!
Now here's the thing. Yes, I know the villains of this chapter wasn't all that but right now, I'm building up to the bigger bosses they will face in the future. I will say by chapter 10 or 11(the chapters I'm really looking forward to) will have the really REALLY strong villains.
If you want to, please leave a review so I can see what you guys think of the story so far and also tell me what kind of Earthland's you would like to see our characters end up on. Or don't I will not force or beg you guys.
With hat being said, have a nice rest of the day guys. PEACE!
