Chapter 2: The birth of a dragon slayer

(Fairy tail universe) (In Unknown cavern)

"Ah!" Shinji got up startled feeling the sweat rapidly dripping down as He relived the graphic replay of the fourth impact.

"Kaworu" He mourned for his late friend burying his face in his palm but it was at this moment he noticed something was seriously off. His voice was higher than usual similar to that of seven year old.

Then he took a quick glance at his hands and saw they were smaller.

"WHAT THE HECK!" He shouted then noticed that he was in a big cavern and there was a large source of water in front in the form of a gigantic deep pond.

Shinji went to the pond and took a good look at his reflection and decided now was a good time to scream as his reflection showed him somehow his body deaged by seven years.

'Calm down shinji. You are in a strange place but at least it better than being in willie's prison cell where anyone who probably felt that I haven't received a enough punishment and do worse with no one coming to aid.' Shinji thought to himself not noticing the large shadow slowly raising from the large pond before him until it casted a large shadow on him.

'Is it me or did it just get darker in here' shinji thought but felt something breath down his small neck. With utter fear in his mind, he turned around and came face to face with the dragon he saw before he blacked out in unit 13. He felt its emerald eyes staring deep into his eyes and with shock he felt that the dragon meant no harm or maybe that his brain trying to reducing blazing danger alarm going on in his body.

'I mustn't run away 'Shinji repeated his ironic mantra as he continued to stare at the dragon and slowly moving towards it.

It notices the movement but didn't remove its eyes from the boy.

The stare down continued for a few minutes until the dragon's neutral expression changed to a grin.

"You were used a lot used by people weren't you child" It said to shinji who winces while remembering his father and for some reason misato though he was terrified that the dragon could talk.

"How do y-you did know that." Shinji replied with fear in his mind as he already losing his stable expression with his memories not helping his situation at all.

"It's like how you humans say it 'The eyes are the doorway to one's soul' which I have a perfect spell to do that. And believe me your soul looked like someone beat it to submission while everyone decided to shit on it." The dragon replied back with the grin till on its face though there were traces of anger in its voice.

"It has a right to be like that as I hurt and killed so many people without even knowing and I nearly tried to do it in the name of fixing everything" Shinji told the dragon with his eyes looking at the ground as they filled with guilt for the lives that were lost.

"Child" It began making shinji look at it. "You are not fully to blame for what happened in your universe."

"Huh? My universe?" Shinji interrupted though confused as he thought this was a place unaffected by the second, third and fourth Impact and the dragon was a mutation.

"You see child, we are in my home universe that is filled of energy called ethernano and with that energy, humans and creatures can perform amazing or terrifying feats while yours is in the process of screwing itself over things that no mortal that should be allowed to achieve though I'm impressed by that bio machine of yours." The dragon said in a rant with a scowl. "But to think that it had the power to connect my universe and yours although temporary. But we are off-track here. Like I said before you are not fully to blame for what happened."

"How you are sure about that!" Shinji yelled finding his voice with his guilt gripping his heart. "I killed so many innocent people because I wanted to do something for myself and look at where that got me. And the funny thing is I nearly did it again and that costed the life of the only person that believes in me in that messed up universe."

"Silence!" The dragon roared scaring shinji stiff. "Even now you still put most of the blame on yourself while it belongs to the fools who are too afraid to tell the world that they are the ones to put the public enemy number one into a bio machine that is capable of destroying the world! And even they even have the guts to blame you a child who was brought into that mess after ten years of not knowing the mess even existed! But you said because you wanted to do something for yourself. Listen kid when was the last time you did something for yourself before that impact and was it without other saying it was not necessary to do so or warn you not to do it or even get angry at you for it though it was to save someone else. How many did happen to you? Absolute zero!"

Shinji stared at the dragon with fear but began to think about what it said and it made complete sense. Everywhere and everyone he met always want him to do things their ways. But he wasn't going to let any push him anymore.

The dragon grinned seeing shinji finally understand its words.

"Child" The dragon called once again getting shinji's attention "I have a proposition for you and it is for you to learn magic under my guidance."

"Why me" Shinji's reply was given immediately the dragon finished talking

"You intrigue me" It told him "Despite all the crap your universe puts you through, you still wished to help save it. Someone like you could go far in this universe and I wished to see this happen."

This made shinji feel teary to think a dragon of all things could have fate in him and knew his answers to this task.

"Please teach me the ways of magic." Shinji said and bowed to his new teacher who grinned at its new student no his heir's humility to his elders.

"Stand my young heir" He said to shinji shocking the boy when he said heir. "As I, Aquaria King of all water dragons will teach you the art of water dragon slayers magic so your enemies in the future will fear the might of the prince of all water dragons and cower at your feet!"

As Aquaria declared his speech, Shinji felt unbound happiness surged through him and promised he will disappoint Aquaria.

As a future dragon slayer and prince of water dragons, he will not fail.

Author note: it took me a while to finish but I finally completed chapter 2 and introduced Shinji's dragon parent who is the king of water dragons like igneel is the king of fire dragons. If you noticed shinji is not freaked or comatose or deeply depressed throughout the chapter, this is because aquaria used a specific type of magic to make shinji think straight and calm without losing his shit and became depressed like evangelion 3.0 self at the end of the movie. The next chapter is coming soon. The pairing is ShinjixCanaxFlarexHisui E. FiorexKagura.
