The sun beat down on the town of Magnolia as Kiryu walked towards the entrance of the guildhall.

He showed up last night. I need to keep him from controlling me.

--

Last night

Kiryu started at the reflection, of his other self, Dragunov. His red eye had an evil glow to it, as if he was pure evil.

"I can't believe you just stood there and took a beating from those weaklings! I swear, if it were me, they would be on the ground, squirming in pain, begging me to spare them!" Dragunov says like a maniac.

Rage begins to fill Kiryu.

"Why have you shown up Dragunov?"

He let's out an evil laugh and Kiryus blood boiled with anger.

"I came to tell you that you're weak. Seriously, even after making my appearance, you haven't changed."

Kiry clenches his fists.

"I swear, if you hurt my family, I'll-"

"You'll what? Kill me? How dumb are you? We are the same person. And I don't think that you're precious friends will see you any different if we weren't." Dragunov says cutting off Kiryu.

"You're wrong! We're not the same person!"

Dragunov let's out a small chuckle.

"We will see about that. Have fun with being labeled as a murderer!"

Kiryus reflection turns back to normal, revealing his blue eye.

Out of anger he punches out a window pane.

The glass shatters as his hand begins to bleed from the cuts from it.

He covers the wound with a piece of cloth.

If he does anything that will hurt or kill my friends, I'll have no choice but to end my own life.

End of Flashback.

Kiryu walks through the doors and notices Jet, Droy and Max were busting tables under Miras supervision. He walks to the bar and takes a seat a few stools from where Makarov was sitting.

"Morning gramps."

"Good morning Kiryu. Lucy and Natsu told me about your scuffle with those three." He says talking about Max and the other two. "They won't be bothering you anymore, unless they want a punishment worse than this."

"Speaking of Natsu and Lucy, where are they at? I need to apologize to them. I had a little outburst at them, so I feel like I have to."

"They went on a mission with Gray and Erza. I don't know when they will be back."

"I see."

Makarov pulls out a small envelope from a stack of papers.

"This is part of a job I want you to take. It goes to a man living near the north woods sea. Do you mind taking it? Everyone else is busy, and Mira is enforcing the punishment on those three, so I can't ask anyone else."

Kiryu grabs the envelope and gives him a nod.

He turns to leave but is stopped by Mira.

"Are you going on a job?" She asks.

"Yeah, the master wants me to do it since no one else is here to do it." He responds.

"I see, well be safe!" She says with the same smile she normally gives.

Kiryu nods and walks out the front door.

Wow, in the two years I've been gone, she has really changed.

--

It was a little after 1 PM when Kiryu made it to the cabin that Makarov said he had to go to. He knocked on the door, and a man about 50 years old opens the door.

"Sorry to bother you, but I was told to deliver this to you."

"Ah, you must be from Fairy Tail. Thank you. And here's your payment."

The man hands him 40,000 jewel.

"Thank you kindly." Kiryu says as he turns and walks away.

--

Kiryu decided to walk back to Magnolia. In all of his travels, he had never been on that path. As he walked down the unknown path, he hears some snarling coming from a distant part of the woods. He decides to go check out the noise.

This is a dumb idea.

He makes his way to a tree line that had joined an open field. He looks, and in the middle he sees four wolves all about the size of Kiryu. Two grey, one black, and a white wolf. The white one was surrounded by the others, blood running down its front right leg. The wolves began to circle it, almost as if they were getting ready for the final blow. Kiryu decides he needs to act.

I shouldn't get involved, but to hell with it. It may be the circle of life but, in a way, he reminds me of myself.

"Star dragon Stardust Bind!"

Shiny particles flew to the three wolves and pinned them to a tree. Kiryu approaches the white wolf, but the wolf snarls at him in fear.

"Its okay." Kiryu reassures.

He gets on his knees, to show that he is no threat. After a few moments, the wolf limps towards him. He limps about 10 feet before collapsing. Kiryu quickly rushes towards it. The wolf shrunk to about the size of a 1 year old dog.

This isn't good. Hes lost a lot of blood.

Kiryu binds the wound with a bundle of tall grass, and wraps the wolf up in his jacket. He stands and heads back towards the road and sprinted down the rugged path.

I saw some buildings a little ways back. Maybe they can help.

--

It was 5 PM when Kiryu found the buildings. He managed to stop the bleeding, but he was still in bad shape.

Walking down the main path through the town, the buildings were in a design that he had never seen before. As he continues, he notices a building in the shape of a cat head. On it, in big letters, it said, Caitshelter.

"Wait, this is Wendys' guild." He says in surprise.

He casually walks in through the front. Inside, people were going on with their business, until they all looked at Kiryu. An old man, slightly taller than Makarov approaches him.

"Hello young man. How can I help you?" He asks.

"Forgive my intrusion, but this wolf has lost a lot of blood and is in bad condition. He needs help."

The old man thinks for a few minutes.

"Get this one to the infirmary."

Kiryu goes to the room and places the wolf on one of the beds. He turns to the old man.

"If it's okay, do you mind if I stay with him until he wakes up. He might be violent if I don't." Kiryu asks.

"Its alright young man. If I might ask, what's your name?"

"Kiryu."

"Its nice to meet you, I am Roubaul, the guild master of Caitshelter."

Kiryu takes a seat next to the bed.

"If I may ask, I met a girl from here. Wendy. Is she here?"

"No I'm afraid she is on a mission right now, I don't know when she will be back. Is she a friend of yours?"

"Sort of. I met her back in Magnolia a few days ago and she told me about this place."

"I see, does that mean that you want to join?"

"Uh, no sir." Kiryu says as he runs the back of his neck. "I'm already part of Fairy Tail."

"Oh, so you're the boy she was talking about."

"Yeah, I guess."

Roubaul left and Kiryu sat fifth the wolf. As the night went on he went into the main room and heard the members of Caitshelter talk about something dangerous.

"We don't have enough magic to make a barrier to protect us from Nirvana! What do we do master?" One of the members said.

Roubaul tried to calm them down, in a odd way.

"I'll help."

The members turn to see Kiryu standing in the back with his hand up. Roubaul looked at him puzzled. "This in no normal weapon we are facing. This is probably the most dangerous weapon our ancestors have created. Are you sure you are up for the task?"

"Yes. I just need some information on this 'Nirvana' thing." Kiryu responds.

They gave him all the information they had, details on the cannon it had, the layout of it, it's weaknesses, everything. They even told him about the coalition with Fairy Tail, Caitshelter, and other guilds.

"Alright, if the coalition is on there like you say, they will handle offense, while I can take care of defense." Kiryu says.

"Alright! We're with you!" A few members say.

"NO!" Kiryu shouts.

Everyone went quiet.

"Listen, if I fail, Wendy won't have anywhere to go. She would be devastated. So you guys are going to evacuate."

They were all angry about this, but Roubaul stood up from his chair and motioned to be silent.

"Alright. We will leave now. Come now! Let Roubaul lead us!"

--

Nirvana was close, Kiryu could see it approaching.

It will be here in about 2 minutes.

Kiryu finishes the cigarette he had, throws it to the ground, and puts it out with the heel of his boot. Within 2 minutes, the cannon on Nirvana began to charge with a massive amount of magical energy.

My Star Dragon Slayer magic allows me to cancel out magic and turn it into stardust. But I've never had to cancel out this much. I might have to deflect it instead of canceling it out. This will be dangerous. If I'm lucky, it will kill me instantly.

Kiryu draws his sword, admiring the blade.

Maybe, if I do, I won't have to feel the pain anymore.

He clenches the handle.

What am I thinking? I should be focusing on this battle.

He takes a step forward and looks towards the charging cannon.

Let's go.

--

"Now Nirvana, Fire!" Shouted Zero, from the top of the central tower of Nirvana.

A massive beam of energy shot toward Caitshelter. Not far, Wendy, her cat Carla, Erza, and Jellal witnessed the cannon firing.

"NO!!!"

The beam approached the guildhall.

"Its over!" Shouted Zero.

All of a sudden, a figure jumped in between the guildhall and the beam of magic. As the four of them looked closely, Wendy and Erza noticed who it was.

"Kiryu!" They both shout.

Down near the guildhall, Kiryu planted his left foot forward toward the beam, and his sword ready to swing from his right.

During my training, I remembered a powerful spell. A secret art. I've never tried it before, but it's worth a shot.

"Star Dragon Secret Art….."

He lifts the sword up and the blade glows blue and grows 20 times its size.

"Solar Flare Blade!!"

The beam was about 50 feet away. If Kiryu was to swing it would be……

Now!

The massive blade swung into the massive blade into the beam with a loud metallic bang. The force began to push Kiryu back. He kept it back, giving it all of his magic.

"Come on! I'm stronger than this! I can do this!"

He gave it one more push, and the blast blew up in front of him.

Back with Wendy and the others, they saw the entire ordeal.

"Wow, he never told me he was a dragon slayer." Wendy says surprised.

"You know Kiryu?" Asks Erza.

"Yeah, I met him when I was shopping in Magnolia."

They look back and notice Kiryu staggering, then fall.

"Kiryu!" They shout in unison.

Kiryu falls onto the ground. After a few seconds he looks up.

I did it.

His vision gets blurry.

Sorry guys. Guess I wont be able to earn your trust again.

As he begins to lose consciousness, he thinks of only one person.

Lissana.

--

2 years ago

"Come on Kiryu!" Shouts Lissana.

The two of them went on a job at Oak town. Even though it would have been quicker to get a carriage to get back, they decided to walk back. But Kiryu kept stopping. He looked at a field that seemed to go on forever. But when Lissana got his attention, he acknowledged her.

"Sorry Liz. I was just looking at this field. I lived in the east forest for so long, I'm still not used to seeing new sights." He responds.

"I see. Well I don't blame you for admiring this view, it's very pretty!"

They take in the sights and the smells of the area around them. It was so peaceful. The grass dancing in the wind, flowers blooming, birds flying south for spring. It was perfect until Kiryu realized that they needed to go.

"We should probably get going."

"Yeah let's go!" She replies happily.

An hour down the road, they finally get to a forest.

"That job was crazy. I can't believe one guy would go through all that trouble to get a girl to yes to a proposal." Kiryu says.

"Yeah, but you could tell he wanted to marry her. I'm pretty sure you would want a proposal to be perfect." She replies.

"I guess you're right. But I don't know anyone who would say yes to me."

Lissana looks at the ground to where Kiryu wouldn't notice her blushing. "Well, I'm pretty sure there is a girl out there who wants to be with you."

Kiryu, not noticing. "I guess you're right."

Lissana looks up with sparkles in her eyes.

"Kiryu! Look over there!"

There was a hot spring about the size of a huge house. She gives him a huge smile.

"We should take a break!"

Kiryu simply nods his head.

Within minutes, Lissana had taken off her clothes except her blue panties and her blue bra and sat behind a boulder, and Kiryu sat on the other side, to keep Lissana out of his view (for reasons if you know what I mean), wearing his boxers. The water was so warm, their fatigue from the trip was gone almost instantly.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Says Lissana.

"Yeah, you're right." Agrees Kiryu.

There was a small silence.

"You know, this reminds me from when we were kids. When you had no place to stay, you stayed with me, Mira, and Elfman, and we would take baths together." Says Lissana.

"Yeah, those were good days. Back when we just acted like kids. I'm glad you and Gramps found me."

"So am I."

There was another silence, a little more awkward than the last until Lissana broke the silence.

"Can you promise me something?"

Kiryu is drawn back by this.

"Um… sure. What's up?"

Lissana holds out her pinkie from behind the boulder.

"Promise me that you will bring me back here."

Kiryu wraps his pinkie into hers.

"You and your pinkie promises. Sure. I'll bring you back."

"Great…… one more thing."

Kiryu looked at her confused, thinking it was another promise.

"Yeah."

Lissana walks around the boulder in her clothes, with the scar from Kiryus other dream.

"Wake up!"

--

22 minutes after passing out

Kiryus opened his eyes, completely exhausted. He quickly sat up and looked back to where Nirvana stood. Its legs were destroyed and it played in a wreck.

They did it.

He slowly stands up, and begins to walk to the wreckage.
