Chapter: The Fairies Cipher
Earthland 1624-FTG
It was quite peaceful days in the town in Magnolia, as nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. Heck, even Fairy Tail itself looks to be rather calm on this day with no loud sounds or fighting looking to be occurring in the guildhall. However, we aren't focusing on this town today...
'SCREEN CHANGE!'
Now we are in the outskirts of the town we were just in as a boy of 16 years of age is walking back to his home town. The boy looks to have purple hair reaching down to the middle area of his neck that spikes around a little and black as well as a relatively average height for someone his age. However, what was particularly peculiar about the boy was his article of clothing; he was currently wearing a black tux and a black vest along with black dress-pants, he also had on a white dress-shirt under that with a black bow tie and a black top hat. All and all, he looked like he just came from either a fancy party or a wedding. Who was this boy you may ask? Well this was no other than Romeo Conbolt, a member of Fairy Tail!
"That mission was pretty simple looking back on it" Romeo comments to himself "Mira said it was gonna be really hard because of the bandits and protecting that artifact but I could just possibly recreate it if I wanted to. Eh, the pasts the past now" Romeo says before clicking his tongue and looking into the sky
"I wonder how Wendy's doing right now? She should be back from the job her and Team Natsu went on by now. Maybe I should go and say h-
Romeo is all of a sudden cut off when a sudden burst of energy explodes a couple of feet away from him and in the sky as a blue portal appears in the sky as a series of electrical sparks fly out around it. Seeing this, Romeo jumps back a little from the portal as he eyes it with caution.
"Why is this portal here?" Romeo mutters to himself before his eyes widen a little in realization "Wait a minute that's a inter-dimensional portal! But who just activated one!?" Romeo questions out loud before three creatures come out of the portal, the three being a familiar dragon slayer and summoner along with a little puffball and fall onto the floor as the slayer gets in a kneeling position.
"See Katja! This is why we don't try to make friends in every universe we go to!" Romeo screams out as he starts to fire a weird looking rifle into the portal as its purple lasers shoot out at light speeds as you can hear some explosions going off on whatever it connects to. Meanwhile, Katja manages to get up and dust herself off along with Deez
"How was I supposed to know our language insults those things!" exclaims Katja before quickly summoning Earthwren as the rock creature creates an axe in it hand
"Maybe because of the looks it was giving us over there!" Romeo screams as Deez looks in between the two
"Umm, guys?" Deez interrupts the two as they look at him
"Yes Deez?" The two answer him before the puffball points to the sky, making the two widen their eyes in surprise
In the sky, they see what looks to be a grayish black space-ship in the sky the size of two large continents coming out of a black portal in the sky as hundreds if not thousands of smaller ships come from the same exact portal. Seeing this, this new Romeo slams the palms of his hand onto his face as Katja and Deez look on dumbfounded.
"Great, they sent their whole army after us...they sent their whole fucking army." Romeo mutters with a shake of his head before looking at the big ship "Okay, I'll take of these freaks and you guys take care of the one's down here" He tells them, causing Katja to look at him as if he was insane
"Wh-What! Are you insanse!" Katja screams at him as he turns his head towards her and grins widely with excitement written all over his face
"Of course I am, have you met me!" Romeo exclaims before activating his dragonic wings and flying off towards the large ship "I CALL DIBS!"
"DAMMIT!" Katja screams out to him as she watches the ships begin to fly down towards Earthland at ludicrously fast speeds
"They're moving at ludicrous speeds!" Deez points out to her, as the summoner only sighs at her friend/crush's words
"I will never understand his love for fighting. I swear, do all male dragon slayers just have that urge?" Katja mutters to herself before looking towards the upcoming ships with a battle-ready gaze
"Alright, time to fight these crea-who is that?" Katja begins before cutting herself off to see this Earthland's version of Romeo floating in the sky looking at the horde of ships as well
"A couple hundred of them eh, this won't be much of a problem..." This Romeo says before raising two fingers up as a flicker of blue flames spark on them while Katja and Deez watch on confused
"Umm...Who is that?" Deez questions, not being able to get a good look at the boy due to his suit and hat; it also didn't help that his back was turned to them.
"I honestly don't know..." Katja responds to her friend as the boy's finger flames fully coats his two fingers
"Hey person! These aliens have some crazy technology at their disposal ranging from light lasers and even light grenades! So if you don't want to get hurt then you gotta get away from here!" Katja exclaims at Romeo who only stares at the incoming horde of ships and extends his hand out
"Alright you Mass Effect rejects, have a nice time in the afterlife please and thank you!" He yells out with a smile
At that moment, blue flames shoot out of his fingers in a large spiral-like motion and covers a couple hundred ships to get engulfed in the blast radius and is all burnt to ashes. Not wasting any time, claps his hands together once as small portals appear behind all of the remaining ships and snaps his fingers. With that action, the gravitational pull begins to rip apart into the portals as all of them get sucked in, some quicker than others from how heavy or large the ships were.
With this done, this world's Romeo casually brings his fingers up to face and blows out the flames on his fingers with a satisficed look on his face as Katja and Deez look at him in shock with comical dinner plate sized eyes.
"Uh...did he just..." Deez tries to point out but fails, too shocked at the display that this Romeo had just performed as Katja shakes her head and ignores any shock she had in her head
"Hey flying flame person! Who are you?!" Katja questions while pointing at him as this Romeo slowly turns his head towards her dramatically as her eyes widen
"R-Romeo..." Katja stammers out before Romeo is instantly in front of her and observes her with a smile on his face
"Yeah, well not your Romeo but this world's. By the way you are pretty adorable blueberry; are you and my double dating?" Romeo asks as Katja quickly flinches and gains a dark blush on her face as Deez's face contorts into that of amusement while also releasing a small snort
"Different Romeo, same stutter" Deez comments as Katja continuously tries, but fails, to speak
"U-U-Um wh-what ar-are y-" Katja stammers out before Romeo smirks and tips his top hat to her
"With the way your stammering and the way your looking at me I'm guess you two aren't. Well, no matter..." Romeo says with a sigh before looking directly at her. "I've never a version of you around here before which is strange, I've been to hundreds of Earthland's before and I haven't seen you and I know you aren't Wendy; your eyes are too yellow and she's usually shorter. So, who are you?"
"Well umm..my name is Katja and the little guy on my shoulder is Deez" Katja says, finally getting over her shock and embarrassment as Romeo raises his eyebrow at Deez's name
"Deez?" He questions as Deez gains a grin while Katja gives a look that he can only process as "why did you say that?!"
"Yup, Deez. Deez nuts! Haha, got em!" Deez laughs while smacking his hand against his knee in amusement all the while Romeo gains a deadpanned look on his face and Katja facepalms
"I really flew myself into that one didn't I" He thinks to himself before looking towards Katja again "So...by any chance are you related t-
"NO!" Katja shouts out, interrupting him mid question as he raises his hands up in surrender
"Hey, just asking a simple question here!" Romeo exclaims at the blue haired summoner, who only exhales to calm herself a little
"Sorry, sorry. Its just that so many people confuse me for Wendy or ask if I'm related to her in some form that it...mildly annoys me when I am asked that" Katja tells the tux wearing mage who nods in understanding while Deez gains his own deadpanned look
"Mildly?" Deez thinks to himself; remembering a certain time back in their own Earthland when she had a whole 'moment' when someone compared her to Wendy.
Flashback Year x797 on Earthland 142-G:
At the current moment, a small group of five were just casually walking through a town, not really having much of a problem as three of them had slight smiles on their faces all the while the other two were having a slight argument. Who are these five, well none other than this world's Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The first man we see looks to be around 17 years of age and of a moderately tall height of 5'9. He has dark purple hair and black eyes and was currently wearing a tightly fitting black shirt with a white and black vest over it. On his right arm he had a grey wrapping that went from his wrist to his elbow and for his pants he had black baggy pants with white lines streaking down some area's. For his arms, blue marking donned them as a katana rested on his side and finally, he was wearing black sandals. This was one of the three traveler's we've been following for the past while, Romeo Conbolt and the leader of the four Horsemen.
The second was a female who we've also been following. This girl looked to be at the age of 19 and was the same height of the previously mentioned boy. She had dark blue hair and golden-yellow eyes and was currently wearing a greyish blue dress along with blue stockings that covered most of her arms and all of her legs. She had a golden bracelet on her right wrist and dark blue shoes as well as her relatively long blue hair being tied into a ponytail with a certain white puffball on her left shoulder. As you can probably tell, these two were Katja and Deez and second command members of the Horsemen.
However, the other were people you haven't met before so I go on ahead and introduce them.
One of the two looks to be at the age 17 like Romeo and also the same height of him as well. He had white spikey hair pointing upwards along with ocean blue and was currently wearing a blue shirt with a ice shard symbol on it and over that, he had on a black sleeveless jacket. He had bluish black pants on and black shoes on and a moderately huge scythe on his back. This was Haku Jeretil, the Ice God Slayer and the third in command of the Horsemen.
Lastly, the last guy had to be the age of the previously two mentioned boys and was only an inch taller than the both of them. He looks to have black hair going down to his shoulders and grey eyes and was wearing no shirt at all and white wrappings on both of his arms. He also had on black and white baggy pants on and black sandals as a way to imitate his one-sided crush. This was June Shimmer, the last member of the Horsemen and a practice of the Dark Musical Arts.
"That was a relatively easy thing to do" Deez comments to the group all the while ignoring Romeo and Haku arguing, already used to how the Dragon Slayer and God Slayer would fight for no reason
"Yeah, just eliminating those enemies were relatively easy to do. Especially since they weren't like that alliance of enemies that Acnologia has" June comments to the puffball before looking back over to Romeo and Haku and starting to swoon about how awesome the two were during the battle as Deez and Katja sweatdrops
"Speaking of which, where have those people been anyways? We haven't seen any to all sight of them since the Alvarez War and I'm beginning to worry what they are planning..." Katja tells them concerned as everyone, including Romeo and Haku, turn towards the summoner
"Umm...what happened during the Alvarez War?" June asks the group; since he had only recently joined Acnologia and his forces he wasn't around to witness some of the battles that had happened in the previous years.
"Well, technically we weren't involved in that war as the alliance was battling them but everyone following Acnologia was forced to go to battle in a continent off of Ishgar since one of his enemies declared war on him and his allies so, as a result, we were all transported out of this continent and went into a new one where we went to battle against whole forces of slayers and mages for days on end" Romeo answers with a slight shudder, remembering how far that battle had pushed him and how many of his comrades had dies in that week alone as Haku crosses his arms and scoffs.
"I had just been brought into the Force about a month before the declaration and let me tell you June, I wasn't ready. The only real fight I had since fighting this loser over here after he tried killing me." Haku tells him while pointing at Romeo, who only scowls at the insult before Haku continues his story "When I was told by our higher ups that we were about to participate in a war I will not lie and say I wasn't excited, but when I actually got there...I actually felt fear, true fear." Haku tells June who eyes widen a bit
"You guys...were actually scared?" June asks as all four of his companions nods
"We were separated the first day, and...my squad was eliminated the first day. A Dragon Slayer, who took on the form of a dragon like Acnologia came out of nowhere while we were fighting and shot a roar right down at us. If I hadn't used my summons I would've been vaporized along with all of my squad mates." Katja says with sadness seeping in towards the end of the sentence. Sure, they were all somewhat crazed mages who would kill in a moment noticed no matter who or what they were but she still hated the idea of people who she worked with dying. Deez, seeing his master and his friends growing uneasiness, attempts to lighten up the mood.
"Hey, but look at us now! We are all badass Horsemen who can destroy entire cities and even countries without much effort! Who really cares how much people died back then, we are meant to kill even more in the future anyways...that came out wrong" Deez tells himself when he noticed how dejected his friends started to look after his statement
"Umm...it was a little weird but in a way sort of uplifting." Haku comments as Romeo nods his head in agreement
"Yeah, I'd give it a solid 6/10" Romeo says with a grin and Katja smiles at Deez
"Alright, so let me get this straight...you all fought in a mini war, saw people get killed, and now are badasses?" June questions
"Sums it up, yes" Haku comments as June gains hearts in his eyes, causing Romeo and him to back up a little
"Oh no" They think to themselves before June captures them both in a hug
"OH MY DARLING'S! YOU TWO HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH AND NOW YOU ALL ARE EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED! LET EM MAKE IT B-
"FUCK NO!" The two slayers yell before punching their friend off of them
"Umm...don't you think it was a pretty bad idea to talk about this in public. I mean, anybody could have heard us" Katja points out as all of the other Horsemen come to the same conclusion and facepalm at their stupidity
"Shit" Romeo mutters to himself as Haku quickly scans the area
"I don't anybody has heard us, I'm not picking up anything" Haku tells them, using one of his techniques 'Ice God's Detection' to sense any body heat around them
"Oh, but someone did" A mysterious person says as they come out from a little alleyway and walks towards the group. He looked to be middle age and very...big and not at all attractive in any shape or form.
"Who's the old fat man?" Haku asks as Romeo and Deez snort a bit and tries, but fails, to hold in their laugher as Katja and June look on cautiously
"Alright, you heard us speaking. So what do you want?" June asks as a stick of dark magic behind his back
"What I want...is her" The man says while pointing to Katja, making all of the Horsemen quick what they were doing and death glare the man before widening it at his next two words.
"Wendy...Marvell"
The male members of the Horsemen look between themselves as Deez quickly jumps onto Romeo's head, knowing what was about to happen. As soon as that happens, the man walks up to Katja, who's eyes are shadowed by her hair, and caresses her hair.
"What do you say? A day with me and I can pretend I didn't here a th-
The man didn't even get to finish his sentence as Katja covers her right leg in purple fire and strikes the man right in his testicles. The man releases a high pitched squeal of pain but Katja grabs him by the jaw and rips it right off of his face and throws it onto the ground before using the same leg she kicked him with to kick him into the ground and starts stomping on his stomach.
"I AM NOT WENDY FUCKING MARVELL! WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE CONTINOUSLY CONFUSE ME FOR IT?! IS IT MY HAIR?! DO I NEED TO DYE MY HAIR AND CUT IT SO PEOPLE WON'T CONFUSE US?! ON TOP OF THAT YOU WANTED TO DO STUFF WITH ME IN EXCHANGE! IF YOU WANTED TO AT LEAST RTY TO GET BETTER NAMES YOU PERVERTED IDIOT!" She rants out as the man flails around trying to escape. Meanwhile, the other members of the Horsemen look on in either shock or interest.
"Katja is so feisty" June comments as Deez nods in agreement
"Jesus Romeo, tell your girlfriend to calm down" Haku says with a smirk as Romeo gains a tint of pink on his cheeks
"She's not my girlfriend you walking popsicle!" Romeo exclaims at the fellow slayer as they butt heads
"I know you did not just call me a walking popsicle you gecko!" Haku comments back
"I did, what are you gonna do about it!" Romeo comments back
"Oh look at you two! Show little ol' me more of your amazing power!" June says while rubbing his nipples as Deez gains a deadpanned look
"This looks familiar" Deez mutters to himself
"To this day nobody, not even Acnologia, tried calling her Wendy" Deez thinks to himself while he watches this world's Romeo and Katja talk to each other
"Wait a minute, you know about the multiverse!" Katja exclaims in shock as Romeo nods his head
"Yep, I told you I have been to hundreds of them as I said earlier. Some fun, some bad, some weird...very very weird." Romeo replies with a slight shudder, making Katja and Deez look at him confused
"Really, like what?" Deez asks as Romeo looks at him
"There was this one time I've been to a universe where everyone on Earthland were some type of monsters. There was another time where I went to one and saw harem's for Natsu-
"Natsu had a harem...that is weird" Deez comments
"Trust me, its pretty common around the multiverse from what I've seen. Anyways, it wasn't a normal harem...but a harem of Natsu's." Romeo says as Katja and Deez look at him with 'are you serious' expressions though he only shakes his head. "Nope, I wasn't lying. That one Natsu had a whole harem full of female him's after an clone experiment gone wrong. If your looking to visit that Earthland from what I remember it was Earthland 15693037584-B."
"I think we're...good" Katja says as Romeo shrugs
"Alright then" He says before hearing an explosion come from behind him as all three of the groups look at the gigantic ship they honestly forgot was still there. Looking at it, they see an enormous blue and white blast come out of the bottom right of it, as a huge hole is created from it as the ship is seen rocking back and forth and more explosions are heard from the inside of the ship.
"Umm...are you sure your friend got this?" Romeo asks the two who only smile at him
"Don't worry about him, I would actually ask if the aliens can handle them." Katja says with a chuckle as Romeo sighs
"Well, might as well watch..." Romeo says before swiping his hand and a large and wide blue screen appears in front of the three
"Woah" Deez says in amazement as Romeo snaps his fingers and popcorn appears in the three's hands
"Ready to watch my friends?" Romeo asks before looking towards the screen as the other two do the same
With Romeo:
"Aysue ege ty! Aysue ege ty! (This can't be happening! This can't be happening!)" An alien yells running down the dark halls of the underground of the ship, trying to escape the Dragon Slayer who was killing every one of their kind in sight
"Et-Eteg, eteg hia fgsn teyua...tyen? Wvanf gwban shja ka hdi hfhe hay 65% sga gah zene! Y shyab dyiaon dgaia fyrn Eath os tye reon! (Wh-Why, why did we decide to attack that...creature?! Whatever language he was speaking was insulting but now since we've attacked him almost 65% of our forces are gone! I didn't go through years of battling for dominance on that one Earth for no reason!)" The alien tells itself before suddenly widening his eyes in pain
"AAAAAARRRGGGHHH-" The alien screams in anguish before getting cut off when a hand grabs it by the throat
"By the Gods, are all of your kind screamers?" Romeo asks with a rather sadistic looking smile gracing his face
"Zya-Zya trga uhut...zya trga uhut!(G-Go to hell...go to hell!)" The alien exclaims in its alien language before Romeo loses his smile and sighs
"Yeah, yeah whatever. I don't understand your language but your probably swearing something right now aren't ya, but either you do or don't you are gonna die." Romeo tells the alien before his hand starts to glow white. A second later, bluish white particles begin to circle around Romeo's arm as the slayer closes his eyes and releases a satisfied sigh; meanwhile, the alien is trying to scream in pain as his eyes go fully dark and his body goes limp, any and all energy leaving it's body as it finally dies off.
"That was decent, but not good enough" Romeo says dropping the body on the floor with a loud thud before looking towards the end of the hall, hearing noises as a smile starts forming on his face
"You know, I could just suck in these creatures souls and be done with it...but where's the fun in that!" Romeo exclaims before rushing off towards the noises he had heard
Down the hall, there were aliens just running down the halls going to try and help their comrades as well as kill the creature murdering the creature killing them but can't even take another step forward as each and every one of their heads are ripped off of their bodies and splattered against the wall. Continuing his assualt, Romeo boosts up into the ceiling with his magic for a few flights before slamming his fists together...
"APOCALYPSE DRAGON'S APOCALYPTIC RAGE!"
With that shout, the entire center of the ship was destroyed as Romeo quickly boosts through another floor with magic in his hands as he starts throwing magic balls everywhere he flies. Once he got to the edge of the ship, he holds his hand up into the sky and releases an 'Apocalypse Dragon's Destructive Cannon' and shoots a beam made of apocalypse magic into the ship and out of it.
"RYHE HFK YRHEU!(STOP RIGHT THERE!)" An alien screams out as it and it's army of soldiers run towards Romeo with killer intent
"Come one aliens, I thought you would be tougher!" Romeo says leaning his head back to look at them before extending his hand out and starts to cover it in a familiar white energy. All of a sudden the aliens stop as white, lifeless forms starts to rip themselves out of their bodies and into Romeo's arm as the particles imbed themselves in the slayer as he smirks.
"Alright, they were more powerful than the aliens I was absorbing before. But now I wonder, how much more powerful are the aliens at the top of the ship?! You know what, I might just go and see for myself!" Romeo exclaims to himself
"YEBA US! RYHE HFK YRHEU!(HEY YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!)" An alien yells from behind Romeo along with his group
As soon as the aliens get close however, Romeo lays his hands down to his sides and blasts the ground and launches himself upwards through the many floors above him while anything below him that got hit with the blast was immediately vaporized. In the span of about 5 seconds, Romeo finally manages to make it to the top level and looks around in the sky to see many aliens on consoles and a relatively tall alien on a throne. Not wasting anytime, he swipes his hand and vaporizes any and all aliens in the room minus the so called "leader".
"SUPERHERO LANDING!" Romeo screams out as he lands a few feet away from leader's throne and puts his hands on his hips
"I assume your these creatures leaders, am I right?" Romeo says with a grin as the alien starts to stand up and walks up towards the slayer
This alien looks to be about 10 feet tall with souless, black eyes. It was all black with heavy knight armor on its body as it clanks every time he takes a step with its large battle axe on its side. It had large horns sprouting from its head with large spikes sprouting out of its arms, shoulders, and even its back. Its skin looks burnt and rugged along with grey marking striking down its torso; finally, its teeth were sharp with its fangs extremely pointy with its long tongue hanging out of its mouth with black ooze spilling out of its mouth and off its tongue. Safe to say, it looked like a horror game alien that some person decided to make look creepy.
"You are right earthling" The leader says as Romeo gains a confused look
"You speak Fioran...or English, or whatever its known as?" Romeo questions as the leader nods its ugly head
"I can earthling. After years of space travel do you honestly think I wouldn't be able to?" The leader asks as Romeo shrugs
"I don't know, the multiverse is different so God know's what you know or not. By the way, are we gonna fight or not?" Romeo questions as the leader grabs its axe
"HOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW!" It screams before swinging its axe down onto Romeo, who only raises his hands up and causally grabs the axe in its hand
"I-Impossible!" The leader exclaims in shock
"Is that all you got? Cause if it is then I'll just have to kill you immediately..." Romeo tells it
With a growl, the leader starts to swing his axe down rapidly at the Dragon Slayer as said person gains a blank look on his face and start blocking all of the swings with his right hand, not bothering at all to take out one of his swords and only resorting to bone hardening. After a few minutes, Romeo just gets bored with the way this fight is going and grabs the axe.
"Your boring for a leader of an alien race" Romeo says before crushing the axe in his hand and punching a hole in the leader's chest before releasing an explosion around the body, vaporizing both the body and the ship around them
Meanwhile with Katja, Deez, and the other Romeo:
"Huh, so my doppelganger there can absorb souls" Romeo comments to Katja, who was halfway finished with her popcorn but gave it to Deez
"Yeah. Actually we just learned that he had the ability to do that and regain some of the power he had lost previously." Katja replies as Romeo dons a confused look
"He lost some of his power?" Romeo questions as Katja stops and gets into a thinking position with her finger resting against her chin
"He did, back on our Earthland he was shot with some bullet that was meant to kill a Dragon Slayer and when he got revived most of his power was gone. However, thanks to a version of Jellal who actually understood the multiverse he was revived but has to absorb souls in order to regain all of the power he once had" Katja tells him
"Didn't we drop that one version of mages from Fairy Tail onto him about a couple dozen Earthland's ago?" Deez asks Katja who looks at him
"Yeah, but only because they quit Fairy and didn't have a place to go to. Besides, he does know about the multiverse after all so I don't think he would be too mad at us...hopefully." Katja says with a nervous chuckle at the end as Romeo gains a slightly serious yet puzzled look on his face
"A version of Jellal that knows about the multiverse and can revive people...there's quite a few versions of that guy who can do that yes but from what I've seen not much interfere with the multiverse. So, who could it be?" Romeo thinks to himself before his eyes widen and he looks at Katja, who looks back at him
"Yes?" Katja asks confused
"Did the Jellal you happen to be talking about happen to come from the Earthland 551-F by any chance?" Romeo asks as Katja nods her head
"Yes, how do you know about him?" Katja asks clearly confused
"You know how when I said I've been to hundreds of Earthland's in my days, well one of those Earthland's happened to involve his. When I was there, him and his friend Levy were just getting a hold of multiversal and reanimation technology so I decided to be nice and give them some tips on how to perfect their technology for free. I guess they were able to do that while I was gone." Romeo states with a shrug of his shoulders
"So you helped him with everything?" Deez asks
"Not everything, just bits and pieces on how to get certain things like transporters and screenings working. It wouldn't surprise me if they got it done since its been a year and a half since I've been there my time; who knows how long its been for them." Romeo says as the slayer version of him finally makes it to solid ground
"Ok, I see a version of me in a suit and a Katja and Deez speaking to him about Jellal. What did I miss?" The slayer questions as him and his double look at each other
"So...other m-
"Just call me ARC" Romeo interrupts with a wave of his hand as his double nods
"Ok ARC...is that the best name you got?" Romeo asks as his slayer double only sighs
"Don't question it" He says
"Ok then, how did you become a Dragon Slayer. I've seen other versions of you become one and most seem to have the magic you possess or something identical to it, so I'm assuming your dragon was Acnologia right?" Romeo both states and asks as ARC looks towards Katja and Deez, about to ask how this guy knew about the multiverse since he's only just arrived to the group and picked up little on this conversation. Seeing how the two nod they're heads at him, he figured he'd ask when his double finished asking his questions and nods his head at Romeo.
"Yes, Acnologia was my dragon on my Earthland" ARC answers
"Alright then, so how did you become a slayer in the first place? I'm assuming that you didn't just walk up to the might Dragon King and beg him to teach you until his annoyance grew so thin he only agreed so you'd leave him alone, am I right?" Romeo says as ARC laughs
"OH GOD I WISH!" ARC screams out as his laughter continues for a couple more seconds before calming down
"Alright, how do I start...Hmm, it was just another day after the mages of Fairy Tail left for Tenrou for the S-Class exams and the island blew up. Myself, along with everyone at the guild was upset as hell over this but over the course of a month managed to feel a bit better. I was was hanging out with one of my old friends Lindsay with our parents talking behind us before that dragon came out of nowhere and attacked Magnolia after tracking the people on the island's scents there. Me, deciding to be a stupid hero, went over to the dragon and attacked him with a stick!" ARC says before chuckling at the last bit as Romeo raises an eyebrow and smiles
"A stick? You used a stick to hit Acnologia?" He asks, clearly amused
"Yep! I was pretty enraged when I saw the dragon who killed my friends so I hit him with whatever was closest to me that wasn't human! But, after that he kinda ripped a hole in my body and killed me...but didn't? Listen, I am still confused on how I was brought back but when I came to I was in a cave in front of him and he basically appointed me as his apprentice for some reason and that...is how I became a slayer!" ARC says, rushing a bit at the end
"So that's the beginning...so how did your life go after that. What was your training like? How did you grow up under the Dragon King knowing you were woriginally a Fairy Tail member? How did y-
Romeo cuts himself real fast when he see's a more...dejected and solemn look on his double's face. When he glances at Katja and Deez, he see's a rather similar look on those two as well and looks at ARC.
"Hey listen. I didn't mean to say anything that would make you uncomfortable, but if you allow me to can I just look inside of your memories instead so you don't have to tell me?" Romeo asks, making ARC widen his eyes slightly in shock
"Wait a minute, you can read minds?!" ARC exclaims as Romeo nods his head
"I can, its one of the many powers I have at my disposal. Though, I do need permission to go into your mind first, so what do you say?" Romeo says before holding his hand out, resulting in blue spreading over his hand as ARC looks at it
"This isn't some "deal with the devil" sort of thing isn't it?" ARC questions as Romeo laughs a little and shakes his head
"Not at all, unless you want it to be...?" Romeo says as his eyes slightly glow blue a little before ARC quickly grabs his hand in a firm grip
"Have fun buddy" ARC tells him as Romeo starts to go through his memories
Romeo, going through them, see's all kinds of surprising things about his doppelganger that he was quite shocked about how different it was from the other slayer Romeo's he's encountered. Those versions of him usually get their Dragon Slayer abilities from Acnologia and after quite some time decides to stay on the side of good and becomes a strong yet kind mage, willing to help guilds and even random people no matter what but this version was...different. He actually stayed with the dragon and became a dark mage, was brought up as a killer and came back to the guild he admired fearing and some even loathing him for being the slayer of the person who was a known killer, killing some of the people in his life who actually trusted him and having to bring upon unkown carnage to his own Earthland. After what seemed like forever, Romeo finally lets go of ARC's hand and looks him directly in the eye.
"I...don't know whether to kill you for what you've done or pity you. But, since it seems as if your trying to redeem yourself with defeating these Dragon God's of yours's then I can't really to the first option" Romeo says with a shrug "Your different from the versions I've met of you, bu-
"Yeah yeah I get it, the multiverse is infinite so other versions of me probably have done way worse, am I correct?" ARC tells him before Romeo looks at him confused
"I was just gonna tell you some information of your soul ability..." Romeo replies as ARC gains a blank look
"...Oh" ARC says as Katja and Deez finally decide to speak up again
"What are you talking about?" Deez asks
"Your Romeo here can steal souls from other people and imbed it in himself to make him stronger. But, there is a downside to this..." Romeo says before pausing, trying to figure out a way to word what's he's about to tell them
"Like what?" Katja asks concerned. She couldn't believe that there may be something about her and Deez's idea that could potentially hurt Romeo.
"Its nothing that could harm Romeo here dear Katja, but the people who's souls he absorbs" Romeo says, getting confused looks from the trio. "Every time ARC here steals a soul, that soul will completely vanish from existence. Not able to go even into the afterlife at all..." He tells the three, who just stare at him in shock
"Wh-What..." Katja stutters out, trying to process the information she had just recieved
"You heard me right, the souls will be gone. Poof! Never to return again!" Romeo says while doing a little movement with his hands to put his point across. However, when he looks towards the three to see their reactions, he only see's a smirk grazed across ARC's face.
"Welp, that means I only get to eat the souls of truly bad people am I right? Won't be much of a problem for me at all." ARC tells him as Romeo only sighs
"You just heard me tell you that your preventing people from going to the afterlife and the first thing you say is "I only have to kill the bad people". Your very weird ARC..." Romeo tells the slayer who shrugs at the comment
"Hey, I'm traveling the multiverse to places I've never thought would be possible. I would be doing myself a disservice getting all worked up over me sacrificing souls to nowhere." ARC says as he hears a portal open up behind him and looks to see Katja holding out the portal gun
"Well, if it wasn't for the aliens I would've actually liked to stay but if you remember Romeo we are on a time limit" She says as ARC nods
"Oh right, the Dragon Gods. We haven't exactly heard from the in a while but they are still out there, gotta go beat them and their armies." ARC says before looking at his other self "Thanks for the information other me"
"Any time ARC! Just make sure to beat those God's in a new one and come to this Earthland to visit everyone once and a while!" Romeo tells the two as all three smile a little
"Thank you...strange power Romeo" Deez comments, still confused about the boy's powers
"What he said. I enjoyed the company!" Katja tells him before exiting through the portal. When ARC goes up to it, he suddenly feels a hand on his shoulder and a whisper in his ear.
"She's awfully cute there mister. Make sure not to pass her up and actually get her as your mate; I know the two of you won't mind it at all." Romeo tells the now blushing slayer as he jumps right through the portal as the mage now stands there alone looking itto the sky
"This was awfully rushed in my opinion, damn author!" Romeo exclaims at the sky before opening a portal and walking through it into some location
IGNORE HIM!
Romeo: No, don't
DO IT FOR I AM THE HEAVENLY DRAGON!
Romeo: ...This isn't DxD. Hell, you still have to update that book next!
