Hello, it's me again. I am now bringing you the first official chapter of this story. It will cover the beginning of Fairy Tail dealing with Bora and introducing Natsu, Happy and Lucy. However, the Daybreak arc will not be in the story, only mentioned. This chapter will be longer than the prologue since we're getting to the main focus now.

Chapter 1: A Whole New World
'Yes… I… have destroyed… the world… and created… a… new…'
…
…
'I am… ready now… for… my eternal… punishment…'
These were the thoughts of Lelouch as he laid dying, embracing the fact he will never be welcome into heaven after his dark deeds. So Lelouch was surprised when he didn't see infernos around him, but rather, pitch blackness.
'Is this… hell?' Lelouch thought. 'If it is, I imagined it more nightmarish and depressing.'
"Lelouch Lamperouge, former 11th prince of the Holy Britannian Empire."
"!?" Lelouch was shocked to hear a deep and powerful voice. He began to look around, trying to find out where it came from.
"Lelouch vi Britannia, 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire."
"Who's there?" Lelouch shouted out as he tried to search for the owner of the voice.
"Zero, masked leader of the Black Knights."
"Who are you?!" Lelouch shouted.
"You have expected to be sent to hell for your crimes. But the positive changes you have brought to your world due to said crimes have absolved you of those sins."
Lelouch then began to see a bright light in the distance, slowly getting bigger and brighter.
"Lelouch Lamperouge, you have earned yourself a chance for redemption."
Suddenly, a figure began to materialize itself from the bright light, amazing Lelouch.
"Who… Who are you?" Lelouch asked in awe of the figure's presence.
"I am he who created all and sees all" the figure said. "I am he who watches over all of life in the universe. I am he who your father tried to 'kill'."
The figure finished materializing and Lelouch found himself staring at a majestic giant golden head that had a holy presence around it.
"I am YHWH, or as many people call me, God" the now revealed YHWH said. "I am that I am. I am infinity, the supreme being. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the first and I am the last. I was here at the beginning, and I will see the end."
Lelouch was shocked. God himself was before his presence. Lelouch tried to bow, but had trouble moving his body.
"No need for formalities my child" YHWH said. "We don't have much time for that anyway." Lelouch was confused by this statement. "I have brought you here because of very important matter. It involves the Ragnarok Connection."
"Ragnarok!?" Lelouch said shocked. Didn't he stop God from being killed? Why bring that up? Did something happen to God as a result of Ragnarok?
"Listen closely" YHWH said. "Ragnarok did indeed fail, I have not been affected by it." "Affected?" Lelouch asked curiously. "Yes. All Ragnarok would've done was sever my connection to your world. It would never have killed me."
"So then…" Lelouch said. "If Ragnarok would never have killed you, why bring it up?"
"Because someone else has taken advantage of the opening to my domain Ragnarok had made." YHWH explained. "A being with malicious intent had entered my domain and tried to kill me."
"!?" This shocked Lelouch, he didn't expect someone to have this kind of ability. "What happened to you?" Lelouch asked. Since he was seeing God, that meant the assailant may have failed.
"While the assailant failed to kill me, he did succeed in robbing me of my powers" YHWH revealed, causing Lelouch's eyes to widen. "But before he could take them for himself, My right hands, Michael and Azazel came to my side and drove the assailant away. This resulted in my powers being sent to another world, trapped in 13 magical artifacts."
"And you want me to obtain these artifacts so you can get your powers back." Lelouch finished for YHWH.
"Yes" YHWH answered. "Lelouch Lamperouge, this is your chance for redemption! You must go to this world, seek out the 13 artifacts that contain my powers and restore me to full strength, so that I may end this assailant before he brings the whole universe into chaos! Should you succeed, you will be forgiven of all your crimes and be able to enter my kingdom of Heaven. Do you accept this chance?" YHWH waited for Lelouch's answer.
Lelouch was thinking about this. He was fully prepared to go to hell for the sins he had committed in his world. But here was God giving him a chance of redemption because of what Zero Requiem had brought. And if this assailant really got to YHWH because of Ragnarok, then as the son of Charles zi Britannia, it was his duty to make things right. Looking YHWH in the eyes, Lelouch gave his answer.
"Lord YHWH" Lelouch said. "Regarding your offer of redemption… I accept this task."
"Very well then!" YHWH said. "Lelouch Lamperouge, your task is this: you will go to the world known as Earthland, find the 13 golden artifacts containing my powers, stop the assailant if you have to, and return my powers to me. Only then will you be completely absolved of ALL your sins!"
Lelouch faced YHWH with a determined expression on his face. He was ready to accept this chance of redeeming himself, even if some part of him felt like he didn't deserve it.
"Before I send you to Earthland," YHWH told Lelouch "I will tell you some history of this world. Pay close attention."
Lelouch was all ears.
"Earthland is a world located in the northwestern part of the Andromeda Galaxy. It's level of technology is equivalent to that of the middle ages. This is because Earthland's people mainly focus on magic."
"Magic?" Lelouch said curiously.
"Yes" YHWH continued. "Magic is found in nearly everything in Earthland. For many of these people, magic is seen as a sort of tool, ap part of their everyday lives. But, there is a faction of people who see magic as an art and have devoted their lives to its practice. These people are called, wizards."
"Wizards…" Lelouch uttered to himself.
"Correct" YHWH said. "Some of these wizards seek out fame and glory on their own terms. But many wizards have banded together to create magical guilds to increase their fame and fortune. There is one guild in particular that I see will be essential into completing your mission. This guild lies in a country called Fiore, which lies in the continent of Ishgar. The name of this guild is… Fairy Tail."
"Fairy Tail… a unique guild among the others…" Lelouch said in wonder. It sounded like this Fairy Tail guild will be a big help to Lelouch in his mission.
"That is the guild you must join. They can help you." YHWH said. "But before you go, there is one more thing we must do."
"What is that?" Lelouch asked.
"Lelouch Lamperouge," YHWH said. "You must learn how to wield the power of magic."
Lelouch widened his eyes. Learn how to use magic!?
"Fortunately, there is someone here who will be willing to teach you." YHWH said to Lelouch. "Reveal yourself now!"
Lelouch turned his head as a new figure began to emerge.
"So, this is the one who you have chosen Lord YHWH." The new figure said as Lelouch began to see more of them.
The figure in question was female. She had long pastel yellow-blonde hair that reached to her knees with a small ahoge at the top; large green eyes that had no pupils; peachy skin and, to Lelouch's slight confusion, had a slight child-like build. Her attire consisted of a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest were three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above each diamond and outlined in diamond pink. Completing her attire was wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings. Also, for some reason, this person was barefoot.
"Lelouch Lamperouge, it's nice to meet you." The female said as she approached Lelouch. Lelouch could feel the magic power flowing from the small woman. "Who are you?" Lelouch asked the female.
"I am Mavis Vermillion," the now named Mavis replied. "Otherwise known as the founding master of the Fairy Tail guild. And I am here to teach you in the art of magic."
Lelouch let out a gasp of shock.
Later, Lelouch is seen in a sitting position. Across from him sat Mavis, who was ready to teach Lelouch everything about magic.
'So, this is the person who will teach me about magic and how to use it' Lelouch thought as he looked Mavis in the eyes. "Alright Lelouch," Mavis said. "the first thing you should know about magic is that is isn't just a talent. No, it is a gift that can only work if the flow of energy inside of you and the flow of energy in the natural world are in perfect synchronization."
Lelouch began to pay close attention to Mavis' words as she continued to explain, since he knew he would need this knowledge in the future.
"In order to perform magic, you must have a strong mind, and the ability to focus. It should take over your being and come pouring out of your very soul. Magic comes in many different types, but there are mainly 2 categories of magic; Caster Magic and Holder Magic."
"Caster Magic is magic that is expelled from the body of someone as opposed through it being done through the use of a weapon or an outside source. Holder Magic requires for a wizard to use an external source in order to produce the magic. Then there's an ancient type of magic called Lost Magic."
"Lost Magic?" Lelouch asked.
"Yes" Mavis said. "Lost Magic is a type of magic that's been obliterated from the history of the world due to their immense power and the sheer gravity of the side effects on the users. But users of this type of magic still exist. Now then,"
Mavis then stepped towards Lelouch. "What are you doing?" Lelouch asked. "I'm going to unlock your magic." Mavis replied. She put her hand on Lelouch's head and concentrated. "Close your eyes for me Lelouch." Lelouch obliged to this request and shut his eyes and relaxed.
Mavis felt a spark inside Lelouch's body and concentrated on that spark. Suddenly, the spark began to grow and expand. In a few minutes, the spark had become like a sun. Lelouch's magical power had been unlocked.
When Lelouch open his eyes, he saw that he had a magical aura around his body and circling around him were a ball of fire, a small tornado, a ball of water, and a small boulder.
"What you see before you, Lelouch" Mavis began to explain "is the 4 basic elements of Caster Magic. Fire, Wind, Water and Earth. These 4 Caster magics are the most basic form of magic. But there are other types. Some that can alter the body, some that can alter the environment, some that can summon beasts to fight for you."
Mavis then snapped her fingers, and several booksleves containing many books appeared form thin air. "These books contain information on certain types of magic. You may choose which ones you with to learn." Mavis told Lelouch. "After that, we will spend a good amount of time in another dimension to train you in the art of magic. Time will move faster in the training dimension. We will spend 7 years in the dimension."
"7 years?!" Lelouch yelled out in shock. "But who knows what the assailant could be doing during that time!"
"Fret not Lelouch," Mavis calmed Lelouch down. "While we will be in the dimension for 7 years, on the outside, only 7 days will have passed. So we won't really be gone for that long."
This calmed Lelouch down a bit, but he was still worried on the assailant's actions. He broke out of these thoughts when Mavis grabbed her hands.
"Lelouch" Mavis said, "Lord YHWH is counting on you. I'm counting on you. Everyone will be counting on you. Lord YHWH chose you because he believed you have what it takes. Please don't take this chance for granted."
Lelouch closed his eyes for a bit. Then he opened them with a serious expression. "Don't worry" Lelouch said "I will make sure that YHWH gets his powers back and the assailant is stopped. If it must take 7 years to get me ready, then I will embrace it."
Mavis smiled at Lelouch's enthusiasm.
"Master Mavis." Lelouch said. "I am ready to begin my training."
"Very well then." Mavis happily replied. "We'll start with Fire Magic…"
And so began Lelouch's 7 year long training of magic.
7 years later:
Lelouch stood in front of YHWH with a determined expression. Mavis stood on the side, impressed with how far Lelouch had come in terms of magic. As she was training Lelouch, a special type of magic suddenly materialized itself in Lelouch's body. Mavis was shocked when she learned what magic Lelouch had suddenly learned how to use. (A/N: No I'm not gonna reveal what magic it is just yet. That will come later.)
"Lelouch Lamperouge" YHWH addressed Lelouch, "you have come a long way from when you first stood before me."
Compared to when he first saw YHWH, Lelouch had definitely changed. He was no longer thin with little to no muscle mass. Lelouch now had a decent sized set of muscles and could actually run a good distance. Not that impressive for most people, but for someone like Lelouch, it is a definite improvement.
"You now have a good amount of magics under your belt and your physique has improve ten-fold" YHWH said. "You are truly ready to enter Earthland and begin your mission. Are you ready?"
Lelouch responded with no hesitation. "Yes. I am ready."
"Very well then." YHWH said. He then widened his eyes and in response, a portal appeared a few meters from Lelouch. "Through that portal lies Earthland. It will take you to Fiore. You will start at the port town of Hargeon. A slave trader named Bora is attempting to capture young women to sell them to a slave market in Bosco. This cannot be allowed to continue. Your first task is to shut him down."
Lelouch clenched his fists at the mention of slavery but had a question. "Why am I being sent to Hargeon, why not just send me to Magnolia?"
YHWH gave Lelouch his answer. "Because you will not be doing this mission alone." His answer caused Lelouch's eyes to widen a bit. "You will form a team. You will gather 16 other people who will be your teammates."
"The first of these 16 is waiting for you in Hargeon." Mavis told Lelouch. "You will know who it is when you encounter them."
Lelouch nodded and proceeded to walk to the portal. But he was stopped for a second by Mavis.
"Lelouch" Mavis said. "Before you go, there's something I need to give you." Mavis held out her hand and 3 yellow orbs appeared in her hand. "These are the 3 spells that are exclusive to my guild; The Three Grand Fairy Spells. Fairy Glitter, Fairy Law and Fairy Sphere. I hereby entrust these spells to you. Use them only when you absolutely need to.
Lelouch grasped Mavis' hand and the three spells went into his body. He could already feel the immense magic power from the three spells.
"Thank you, Master Mavis." Lelouch said to his magic instructor. "I will not let your lessons go in vain."
"One more thing Lelouch." YHWH said. Lelouch turned his head to God himself to hear what he had to say. "When you arrive in Hargeon, seek out a young man named Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail, his alias is Salamander, he will help you take down Bora."
"You'll easily find him because he has pink spiky hair and a scarf in the pattern of dragon scales." Mavis described for Lelouch.
Lelouch nodded and then headed towards the portal.
With a deep breath, Lelouch entered the portal, ready to head to Hargeon, and the beginning of his quest to save YHWH and the entire universe.
As the portal closed, Mavis and YHWH said some final words of encouragement.
"Good luck Lelouch Lamperouge." Mavis said. "The fate of the entire universe is in your hands now. Only you have the chance to stop the assailant and prevent chaos from spreading across the universe." YHWH said next. "It is all up to you now."
X784
Hargeon, Fiore
As Lelouch was conversing with YHWH and Mavis. In Hargeon, a train was stopping at the station and as everyone was getting off, one person was, well…
"Hey! We made it to Hargeon!" A talking cat was trying to help his downed companion.
The cat in question had blue fur with a white stomach, a rectangular head with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, a triangular nose that leads to semi-round upper lips, a long white-tipped tail with the rest of it being blue, and light blue cheek marks near his whiskers. He also had 2 whiskers on each side of his face. He also carried a small green backpack. This was Happy.
His companion was a lean, muscular man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, spiky pink-colored hair, and has abnormal sharp canines. He also had a scar of the right side of his neck. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat; which was left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, a gold trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals and a scale-patterned scarf. He also currently had a large green backpack with many things in it. This was the person who YHWH said would help Lelouch find Bora, Natsu Dragneel.
The conductor of the train was trying to figure out if something was wrong with Natsu. "Um…" the conductor said, "is he alright?"
"He's fine." Happy told the conductor. "This always happens when he travels."
"Never…" Natsu said sickingly. "I'm never riding a train again." His cheeks then started to bloat from sickness as Happywalked to the exit of the train.
"If our information is correct," Happy said, "then we should find that salamander somewhere in this town."
Happy turned to Natsu, who was sticking his head out the train window. "Come on. Let's go." Happy told him. "Just give me a second, would ya?" Natsu weakingly replied.
But as Happy stepped out of the train, a whistle was heard and the train began moving again, much to Natsu's chagrin.
"NOOOOOOO! STOOOOOOOOOOPP!" Natsu yelled as the train moved away from the station and Happy just looked on.
"Uh-oh… There he goes." Happy said.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, another situation was happening.
"What!?"
In a magic store a young lady was speaking to the old shopkeeper of the store.
"You mean to tell me there's only ONE magic shop in this whole town!?" The lady shockingly asked the shopkeeper.
This young woman had brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that was tied by a ribbon in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She is also a buxom, having a curvaceous body. This woman doesn't really wear the same outfit every day, but what sticks out is the black whip with a heart-shaped tip at the end and a pouch which contain some golden keys. She also wore black, leather high heel boots. This was Lucy Heartfilia.
"Afraid so." The shopkeeper told Lucy. "the people around here are more fishing folk that they are magic folk." Lucy sighed sadly at this fact. "I reckon most people in town don't even know how to use magic. I built this shop to sell to the wizards who happen to be passing by."
"Oh man…" Lucy sadly said. "I came all this way for nothing." She didn't know what to do now.
"Now now, don't say that little lady." The shopkeeper said trying to lighten up Lucy's mood. "I have all the latest goods." He then began digging behind his desk for items. "Here, let me show you a few." He then pulled up a type of magic card. "This Colors magic is popular, all the young girls really seem to like it. It let's you change the color of your clothes anytime you want." He then demonstrated the Colors magic, changing his suit to purple then back to it's normal green. This didn't help Lucy feel better though.
"I already have one of those." Lucy said to the shopkeeper. "What I really want are some powerful gate keys."
Lucy was referring to Celestial Spirit Magic, a type of Spatial Magic that involved summoning powerful beings called Celestial Spirits. These Spirits came in all shapes and sizes and can only be summoned through Spirit keys.
"Gate keys huh?" The shopkeeper said. "That's a rare request." But Lucy wasn't listening, as she had found what she was looking for. A silver key with a blue snowman-like symbol on it.
"Oh wow, it's the little doggy" Lucy said as she recognized the key by its design. "Yes, but that one's not very powerful you know." The shopkeeper told Lucy. "I know, but I really, really want it." Lucy replied as she took the key to the counter. "So how much?" Lucy asked the shopkeeper. "20,000 Jewels." The shopkeeper told Lucy. (A/N: Jewels is the currency used in Earthland. For comparison purposes, 100 Jewels is equivalent to one U.S. Dollar.)
Appalled by the price, Lucy decided to use other means to get a fair price. "Aw, come on. How much is it really worth?" Lucy said, trying to use her sex appeal to get a big discount. "Surely, you can cut me a deal?" Lucy said as she winked at the shopkeeper.
Before the shopkeeper could reply, another person walked in. When Lucy looked to see who it is, her eyes widened. This person was female like Lucy, but Lucy's beauty paled in comparison to the person who walked in.
The woman had long pink hair that went down to her waist and was tied up n two buns on the sides of her head. She also had bluish-violet eyes that seemed to glimmer. Her attire consisted of a light pink dress that got more darkish near the bottom and had a light pink rose pattern at the bottom along with a white line in the middle. She had opera sleeves that went to her wrists, but the sides were long and went to her waist and the arm holes were connected by a rose-like pin on each sleeve. She also had a unique sleeveless jacket that went down to the bottom of her dress and ended with feather-like designs. She also had a golden chest-plate wrapped by a pink sash that had a white piece of cloth extend from the bottom. This cloth had 2 rose pins at the end. Underneath the dress, she wore a dark pink robe. Completing her attire were dark pink sandals and earrings with a sphere on each end. (See author's note at the end.) To Lucy, this person looked like a goddess.
The female walked up to the counter and began to talk to the shopkeeper. "Hello." The person said in an angelic-like voice. "I'm here to pick up my staff." "Of course, ma'am." The shopkeeper replied. "I have it ready for you in the back, let me go get it for you." He went to the back of his store and a few seconds later, he came back out with a unique-looking staff. It was golden and fancy-like but had an opening at the top where a small branch that had sakura flowers on it was exposed.
"Thank you very much." The woman said as she received her staff from the shopkeeper. She then dug in her dress, taking out some Jewels from her robe pocket. "And here is the pay for my staff upgrade. 250,000 Jewels." Lucy was shocked at the amount of money she had. "Thanks for your business." The shopkeeper said as he took the money.
The woman then looked at Lucy and noticed the key, then turned back to the shopkeeper. "I'm sorry, but how much is the key this lady is trying to buy?" The woman asked. "20,000 Jewels." The shopkeeper replied. The woman simply smiled and pulled out the amount of money needed for the key. "Here, this should cover it." The woman said. "Thank you very much." The shopkeeper said in thanks for the extra money.
Lucy was happy that she didn't have to spend any money. When she noticed the woman starting to leave, she quickly ran to catch up with her. "Hey! Wait up." Lucy yelled as she ran out of the store.
In another part of town that was empty at the moment, a strange portal opened up from out of nowhere. As if that wasn't weird enough, a man began to emerge from the portal.
The man had short black hair that reached his neck, violet eyes and a lean, muscular physique almost similar to Natsu, except Natsu was a bit more muscular than the man. For attire, he wore a long black dress button-up shirt that was all buttoned up except for the top button, allowing some of his chest to be exposed. Above the shirt, he wore a small sleeveless white vest that had a yellow pattern design on the ends of each side. He also wore white long pants and had black sneakers.
This was none other than the man that was assigned to save YHWH and the whole universe, Lelouch Lamperouge himself.
Lelouch looked around, checking his surroundings before putting out his hand. From his palm, an image appeared of the man he was looking for, Bora.
Bora was a mildy rectangular faced man that had mildly short, spiky blue hair, with a long fringe left hanging over the upper left part of his face, black eyes and dark thin eyebrows. The most distinctive feature about Bora was the dark tattoo covering the right part of his forehead, just above his right eyebrow, this being highly reminiscent of a thin, stylized pair of tongs placed horizontally, with the "handles" pointing towards Bora's right.
Having memorized Bora's face, Lelouch made the projection disappear and proceeded towards town to begin his search.
Meanwhile, Lucy had caught up to the pink-haired woman and thanked her for buying the key for her. "It's no big deal" she reassured Lucy. "I was just happy to help someone who looked desperate in need." Lucy was then curious about something. "If I could ask something," Lucy said. "Just how do you have that much money anyway?"
In response, the woman handed Lucy a book detailing well-known wizards throughout the country and told her to turn to a specific page. Lucy turned the book to the page she was looking for and, to her shock, found the woman on the page.
"You're kidding me!" Lucy said in shock. "You're Euphemia Kenjima, the famous 'Mistress of Melody'!? As in THE Mistress of Melody who uses unique sound-based magic!? THE Mistress of Melody who as gone on very tough quests for any guild but never actually joined them. THE Mistress of Melody whose also known for her majestic voice!?" Lucy turned to the now identified Euphemia in shock. "THAT'S YOU!?" Lucy yelled. Euphemia just giggled in response.
What Euphemia was going to say next was interrupted when the two heard a bunch of girls squealing loudly. They turned and looked over a bridge to see many females surrounding this one guy. As they were wondering what was going on, two girls passed by them talking about the situation. "Are you serious!? He's really here!?" One girl said excitedly. "Oh, Salamander!" The other girl said dreamingly.
"Salamander…" Lucy uttered before turning her head to the crown, forming a large smile on her face and small blushes on her cheeks as she clapped her hands in delight. "As in the wizard who uses Fire Magic you can't even buy in stores!? Wow!" Lucy then began to get slightly confused. "He's in THIS dead-end town?" Lucy asked to herself as more females headed to 'Salamander's' location.
While Lucy was talking to herself, Euphemia was looking at the commotion with a slight frown on her face. She couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her gut.
In another part of town, Natsu had finally gotten off the train, but was walking weakly alongside Happy due to his problem with vehicles. "Oh, man" Natsu said, "I wound up riding the train twice." "You got to get over that motion sickness." Happy told Natsu, who began complaining again. "Now I'm so hungry, I could eat my hands." Natsu said, wanting to gouge down after what he went through. "It's too bad we don't have any money for food." Happy told Natsu, reminding him of their financial situation.
"Hey Happy," Natsu started to switch the topic, "this Salamander we're looking for has got to be Igneel, right?" "Aye." Happy responded. "It has to be, cause the only Fire dragon I've ever heard of is Igneel." "That's true" Natsu replied.
Natsu and Happy then heard the crown of cheering women up ahead. "Salamander!" one woman shouted. "You're so dreamy!" Another girl yelled. "And so hot." A third girl added in. ""Salamander!?"" Natsu and Happy shouted happily together. It looks like lady luck was in favor of them, it seems they had found who they were looking for.
The two then rushed towards the scene. "Heh," Natsu started to say, "well speak of the devil, we're in luck today Happy." "Aye sir!" Happy replied.
Meanwhile, Lelouch was walking through town, trying to find any leads on Bora. 'I should probably start by looking for sites of commotion, that may be the best starting point right now.' Lelouch thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard large amounts of squealing coming from the town square. Lelouch ran to the site to see what was going on.
Coming to the site, he found a large crowd of women surrounding this one guy with a blonde girl getting extremely close. Once Lelouch got a look at the man being surrounded, he widened his eyes before narrowing them in anger.
The man being surrounded had short, blue hair, black eyes and thin dark eyebrows. He was wearing ornate clothing, with the most visible piece being a dark, high-collared cape almost reaching down to his knees, possessing a lighter inner part and light edges adorned by a pattern consisting of many rhombs, or possibly many "X"s, lined up one after the other. Such cape is closed some centimeters below the man's neck by a small fastener adorned by a stylized flame and had large motifs adorning its sides, starting from the shoulders and going down several inches; each motif shaped like a large, light and hollow circle from whose outer side many arrows jut outwards in every direction, and which has several wavy lines protruding towards its hollow center. Below the cape, the man wore a simple, light short-sleeved shirt with outlined edges, paired with light pinstriped pants with visible hems, held up by a simple belt covered in elongated spots and largely hidden by his shirt, and polished dark shoes, with lighter soles and a light upper part going down from the ankle's front. He also sported three large metal bracelets around his right wrist and forearm.
The reason Lelouch was angry was because he had found the man he was looking for. The man being surrounded by many young girls was the slave trader, Bora the Prominence. Lelouch could sense magic coming from Bora, and it wasn't Fire Magic.
Looking at Bora's hands, Lelouch saw that he had a ring with a heart on top that was giving off magical power. Lelouch recognized this as Charm Magic, which was deemed illegal by the authorities. Lelouch then made his way to the crowd to confront Bora and expose him. However, someone beat him to the punch, but for different reasons.
"Igneel! It's me!" Natsu shouted as he made his way through the crowd. But when he saw Bora, he was shocked. It was the wrong person!
"Who the heck are you?" Natsu asked Bora who was shocked at Natsu's question. "Who am I?" Bora asked shocked before regaining himself. "I am Salamander." He said as he put on a dramatic pose. "Surely you've heard of me before?" But Bora became shocked when Natsu started walking away. This caused the girls to get angry with Natsu and started to beat him up, except for Lucy, who was broken out of the Charm spell when Natsu came in.
"Now now, that's enough my lovelies." Bora said. "Let him go. I'm sure the poor boy didn't mean anything malicious by it." This caused the girls to have hearts in their eyes again, except for Lucy who was now aware of Bora's Charm Magic and was staring at him with anger. This caught Lelouch's attention a bit.
"Here's my autograph kid." Bora told Natsu as he tried to give Natsu a piece of paper that said 'Salamander' on it. "Now you can brag to all your friends."
But Natsu wasn't interested. "I don't want it." He said which caused the girls to beat him up again. As he laid twitching by some garbage bags, Happy turned to face Bora. "Guess it wasn't him after all." Happy said. The sight of Happy talking shocked Lelouch for a bit, before he realized it may have been a common thing in this world.
"Well, I'm afraid I must be going now ladies." Bora told the girls around him. "I have business to attend to." But the girls were sad to see him go. Upon hearing Bora's words, Lelouch's eyes widened. Before he could move, Bora snapped his fingers and was now standing on a tower of flames.
"I'm having a little sware at my yacht tonight and you're all invited." Bora declared as he made his exit. The ladies then departed, leaving Lelouch, Natsu, Happy, Lucy and Euphemia, who stayed near the back to avoid Bora's Charm Magic.
Lelouch clenched his fists. Bora was right there, but thanks to a distraction, he got away.
"Who the heck was that guy?" Natsu wondered. This made Lelouch turn his attention to the boy. "I'll tell you one thing," Lelouch said, causing Natsu to turn to him. "He is not Salamander. He's just pretending." At hearing Lelouch's voice, Euphemia's eyes widened.
"No wonder that guy was a real creep." Lucy said. "Thanks for your help. But how do you even know that guy isn't really Salamander?" She wondered how Lelouch knew Bora's ruse. "Well, it's because-"
"Lelouch?"
At hearing Euphemia's voice, Lelouch let out a shocked gasp and turned his head. His eyes then widened and small tears began to form. There, in front of him was his sister, Euphemia li Britannia. The sister he loved second to most, only behind Nunnally.
"Lelouch, is it really you?" Euphemia asked.
Lelouch only stared in shock at his sister as the painful memory of him killing her because of his stupid mistake began to recall itself in his mind.
"So…" Lucy interrupted the reunion. "How's about I treat you guys to something. As thanks for helping me out back there."
She then took the group to a nearby restaurant where they proceeded to dine on some food, though Natsu and Happy were chowing down like animals, causing a scene.
"So, my name's Lucy. It's nice to meet all of you." Lucy introduced herself as she sweat dropped at Natsu's actions. "So… Natsu and Happy, right?" Natsu made a noise of affirmation before resuming eating. He was making a big mess doing so.
"You can slow down you know. We're not in a hurry." Lucy sheepingly told Natsu as a bone hit the chair next to her. "And food is kind of flying everywhere" 'There goes some of the money I saved at that old geezer's shop.' She then turned to Lelouch and Euphemia, who were dining more politely than Natsu.
"And I already know Euphemia, but your name is…?" "Lelouch." He told Lucy. "Lelouch Lamperouge." Lucy then had a question. "Say Lelouch, how is it that you know Euphemia?" "It's because we're re-"
"Real good childhood friends!" Euphemia suddenly said, cutting off Lelouch. "We've known each other a long time ago, but we got separated after I had to move to another town." Euphemia turned to Lelouch and nodded her head, signaling him to just go along with it.
"She's correct." Lelouch said, deciding to follow Euphemia's advice. "We were separated for about 7 years. It was a shock for me to see her again." In a way Lelouch wasn't lying. He and Nunnally were separated from Euphemia and the rest of their family for 7-8 years after Charles sent them to Japan as political hostages.
"I see." Lucy said before switching the topic to being about Bora. "Evidently, that fake Salamander guy was using magic, a Charm spell, to hypnotize the ladies in town into falling in love with him." Lelouch and Euphemia narrowed their eyes in disgust.
Charm Magic was an illegal magic that was banned for many years because it makes people attracted to someone not of their own free will, so it was nearly impossible to get one. Bora must have gotten it from somewhere on the black-market.
"I totally would've fallen victim to his spell if you guys hadn't barged in when you did." Lucy told Natsu and Happy who were still chowing down. "I really can't thank you guys enough." Natsu who had food in his mouth mumbled out "No problem."
"I know I may not look like it, but I'm a wizard too." Lucy said. "That so?" Natsu mumbled with food in his mouth. "Yeah, but I haven't joined a guild yet or anything." Lucy then proceeded to talk about wizard guilds and a type of magazine called Sorcerer Weekly, then about a certain guild she wished to join. "Oh man, I almost forgot. You guys came here trying to find somebody didn't you?"
"We're looking for Igneel." Happy said as Natsu devoured a pizza. "We heard a rumor that a salamander was gonna be coming through this town, so we came here to see him turns out it was somebody else." Natsu said with his mouth full. "Yeah, that guy didn't look like a Salamander at all. Plus, Lelouch said he was just pretending to be Salamander."
"So, what does looking like a salamander have to do with your friend?" Lelouch asked. "Huh? He looks like a salamander because he's a dragon." Natsu said. "Aye. Igneel's a real-life fire dragon." Happy added in. This shocked Lucy, Lelouch and Euphemia. Lelouch and Euphemia were stunned that dragons actually existed in this world.
"WHY WOULD A FIRE DRAGON SHOW UP IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN!?" Lucy yelled dumbfoundedly. Natsu and Happy tried to explain but paused when they realized Lucy had a point. "She's right you know. It sounds too far-fetched." Lelouch said.
Lucy then left some of the money she saved from the magic shop on the table. "Well, I should get going." She said as she made her way to the door. "Thanks again for helping me out and maybe I'll see you around again."
As she was about to reach the door, the waitress beside her had a shocked look. Lucy turned around and had a shocked look on her face as well. Natsu and Happy were bowing their heads in respect.
"Thank you for the food!" Natsu and Happy said to Lucy.
"Cut it out! You're embarrassing me!" Lucy exclaimed. "Look. It's cool. You guys helped me out earlier, so let's just call it even." And thus, Lucy departed. Lelouch and Euphemia looked at each other and decided to leave as well.
"We should get going as well." Lelouch said. "We'll see you guys soon." Euphemia said, waving bye to Natsu and Happy. Lelouch and Euphemia were walking through town when they saw Lucy on a bench reading a magazine and talking about joining Fairy Tail.
"What was that? You want to join Fairy Tail?" Bora showed up from a nearby bush, startling Lucy. "Ah, it's you again!" She shouted in shock.
"I've been looking all over for you." Bora said with a charismatic smile. "I wanted to personally invite you to the party I'm having on my yacht tonight."
"Your Charm spell won't work on me! That magic's weakness is awareness!" Lucy pointed out. "It doesn't work on people if they know you're using it."
"Just as I'd thought." Bora said. "I'd guessed you were a wizard from the moment I laid my eyes on you. No matter. The invitation still stands." But Lucy denied.
"Well, you can forget it." Lucy told Bora with her arms crossed. "I wouldn't be caught dead at a party being thrown by a creepy pretender like you." This offended Bora.
"A creepy pretender, why would you call me that?" Bora asked dejectedly. "Your spell, using it to make you popular. Plus, someone told me you're not really Salamander." Lucy pointed out to Bora.
"You got me, but don't be mad my dear, it's all in good fun." Even though he was exposed as a fake, Bora still had a charismatic smile on his face since Lucy still didn't know his name. "I just wanted to feel like a celebrity at my own party. Can you blame me?" Lucy shrugged her arms in response.
"Guess this just proves that even wizards from famous guilds can be big idiots." Lucy said. Bora was slightly surprised by this, but quickly regained his composure.
"You wish to join the Fairy Tail guild, right?" Bora asked Lucy, getting her attention. "Tell me, have you ever heard about Salamander? One of Fairy Tail's well-known wizards?"
"Well, yeah. But you called yourself Salamander and just now you said you weren't really him." Lucy accused Bora pointing a finger at him.
"That may be true, but I know of him." Bora replied. "He happens to be a very good friend of mine, though he may get mad at me for using his alias in such a way. But if you really want to join Fairy Tail, I can have him put in a good word for you." Lucy fell for it and accepted his invitation.
"Then I'll see you tonight." Bora said as he made his exit via a tower of flames. As he left, Lucy got annoyed that she fell for the Charm spell again, but excited at the chance to join Fairy Tail.
Lelouch and Euphemia, who were still watching, knew that Bora was lying. Lelouch knew that Bora was actually from another guild before.
"Lelouch" Euphemia said causing Lelouch to turn his head towards her. "I would like to talk to you alone tonight."
Lelouch had a feeling about what Euphemia was talking about and nodded his head. As the two were making their leave, Lelouch turned back to Lucy in thought.
'Bora, I am definitely keeping an eye on you. And I will expose you for who you are.' Thought Lelouch.
Later that night, Lelouch and Euphemia were standing next to a rail overlooking the sea.
"Lelouch," Euphemia spoke. "About what happened in our world."
"Yes." Lelouch answered. "Euphie, I never intended for what happened to you on that day. The day I accidentally used my Geass on you, and unintentionally ordered you to massacre the Japanese. I know that nothing I say or do could ever atone for my actions," Lelouch gripped his hands on the rail. "I am the reason you did something so cruel and evil, something completely against your nature, which ended with your death by my hands." Lelouch started to have tears in his eyes as he recalled the words he said right after he shot Euphemia.
'Farewell Euphie. You may have been the first girl I ever loved.'
"Euphie, I'm at your mercy. So please, whatever you decide to do to me, do as you wish. I will not hesitate."
"Do you really mean that Lelouch?" Euphemia asked in a serious tone.
"Yes."
Euphemia balled her fists and look at her brother dead in the eyes. "In that case…" Euphemia said as she approached Lelouch. "I want you to tell me what happened after I died."
Lelouch was shocked at Euphemia's question and looked down in shame. "Euphie, I…"
"Please…" Euphemia said with a determined look. "I have to know what been going on with everyone. Suzaku, Cornelia, your fight with Britannia, the Black Knights, Schneizel, father, everything. I need to know."
Lelouch sighed, "Very well…"
Lelouch told Euphemia everything that happened after her death from the declaration of the United States of Japan all the way to Zero Requiem, leaving out nothing, even the changes to the world brought upon by his death.
Euphemia was shocked by some of the things told by Lelouch. Suzaku and his convictions, learning that their father had Geass that could alter a person's memories, their unknown uncle, Victor being the one who killed Marianne due to jealousy, the First Battle of Tokyo which ended in Lelouch's capture, Shirley Fenette's death at the hands of Rolo, who was assigned to act as Lelouch's brother and who killed Shirley out of jealousy, the Second Battle of Tokyo which resulted in the use of the FLEIJA warheads, the Black Knights betraying Lelouch after Schneizel exposed him and narrowly avoiding death thanks to Rolo, Marianne still being alive and her and Charles' plan, Ragnarok Connection, Lelouch ascending to the throne after killing his mother and father and stopping their plan, Suzaku killing three of the Knights of the Round, Lelouch holding the UFN hostage, the Battle of Mt. Fuji which resulted in Schneizel being subjected via Geass, and the Zero Requiem, ending with Lelouch's death at Suzaku's hands.
"So that's what happened." Euphemia said as she listened to every single detail Lelouch told her.
"Yes," Lelouch said, "I did all those evil things so the world would come to despise me, so the evil name of 'Massacre Princess' would be forgotten, so that you would become a martyr instead of remaining a scapegoat."
"That's why you did what you did with the UFN, what you did with the Black Knights," Euphemia said, "so that you would become the sole enemy of the world and all it's hatred would die with you."
"It was necessary," Lelouch told his sister, "and it wasn't just for Nunnally anymore at that point. It was for the sake of the entire world."
"…I see."
"So there you have it." Lelouch said. "If you wish to do something to me as comeuppance, I won't hold back. Do as you wish."
"Are you sure?" Euphemia asked.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Euphemia raised her right hand and directed it at Lelouch. Lelouch closed his eyes waiting for whatever Euphemia would do to him. He then felt a warm felling on his head and opened his eyes to see Euphemia rubbing his hair giving a warm smile.
"Euphie…" Lelouch said surprised.
"This is what I'm doing. Stroking your hair, which I like to do." Euphemia said warmly.
"I… I don't understand."
"Lelouch," Euphemia said, "you've done some terrible things, that's true, but those sins were the catalyst for a greater and brighter future for the world. You made yourself into a scapegoat for the sake of the world."
Euphemia's smile seemed to be heavenly to Lelouch. "Lelouch, I forgive you."
"Euphie…" Shedding tears, Lelouch embraced his sister and she returned the hug. For a few minutes, the two stayed like that, embracing each other and Lelouch letting out his sorrows.
Afterward, Lelouch released his embrace and smiled. "Thank you, Euphie," Lelouch gratefully said, "and I swear, I will make amends for my sins by rescuing YHWH and the universe."
He then turned to the sea, where he saw a yacht sailing in the distance. "And it starts with stopping Bora's slave trade operation."
Euphemia turned to the sea as well, catching sight of Bora's yacht. She narrowed her eyes at the mention of the slave trader.
"Oh my gosh!" The conversation of three nearby girls got the two's attention as they turned their heads to listen to what they were saying. "That's Salamander's yacht isn't it?" One girl said excitedly.
"I wish I could've gone to his party." Another girl said. "Who's Salamander?" The third girl said, apparently having never heard of him. "Whoa! You've never heard of him!?" the second girl asked. "He's a super famous wizard who's in town right now!"
"Yeah and he's a member of Fairy Tail." The first girl said dreamingly. Lelouch and Euphemia turned to each other and nodded. They knew what they needed to do. The two of them proceeded to rush towards the sea, planning on catching the yacht before it went too far out to sea.
On the yacht, as many of the females were outside conversing, Lucy was in a room with Bora.
"Your name is Lucy, right?" Bora asked Lucy. "That's a lovely name."
"Yeah, thanks." Lucy replied.
Bora set a drink down on a table. "I'd like to toast your beauty." Bora snapped his fingers and some of the drink began to float towards Lucy. "Now, open up wide Lucy. Savor the taste of each flavorful drop as it enters your mouth."
"CREEPY…" Lucy was disturbed by Bora's flamboyant attitude. 'I'm strong, I can get through this.' And then, to Bora's shock, Lucy swiped away the drops that were heading towards her, a miffed expression on her face.
"What do you think you're doing?" Lucy accused Bora. "I know what you're up to. You're trying to use Sleep Magic aren't you?"
Bora chuckled at this and held up his hand which had a ring for casting Sleep Magic that had a moon picture on top. "Very impressive, my dear." Bora complimented Lucy.
"I don't want you to get the wrong idea," Lucy said, "yes, I really want to join the Fairy Tail guild, but I'm not going to date you to make that happen."
Bora chuckled. "You're quite a handful, aren't you?"
As Bora said this, curtains opened up to reveal muscular men holding unconscious women in their arms or on their shoulders.
Lucy gasped in shock. "What's going on here?"
"Welcome aboard my ship." Bora's tone was more sinister now. "And you'd be wise to behave yourself until we make it to Bosco." He then gave a sinister face. "Don't make me angry!"
"We're going to Bosco!?" Lucy said in shock. She then turned to Bora angry. "You said you'd get me into Fairy Tail."
"Forget it." Bora said smugly. "I just said that so I could lure you here and make you one of our slaves."
"How could you?" Lucy was angry now. "You're gonna kidnap all these girls?"
The muscular men chuckled evilly. "That's our Salamander alright." One of the men said. "We got a big haul this time." Said another of the men.
"Why you…" Lucy took out her keys and got ready to attack. However, Bora launched a fire spell at Lucy which knocked her keys from her hand which Bora caught.
"These are gate keys, so, you're a Celestial wizard." Bora said. "Only the wizard who is contracted can use this magic, so these are absolutely useless to me." Bora then tossed the keys out of a window into the sea, which angered Lucy.
She stared at Bora in anger. "You used magic to take advantage of others." Lucy yelled as she started shedding tears. "You're the worst wizard alive!"
"I completely agree!" Suddenly, the door behind them exploded causing everyone to be in shock. A figure then emerged from the smoke. A figure Lucy recognized.
"Lelouch!" Lelouch had snuck onto the ship earlier and tracked down Bora to near the top of the yacht. Now he was ready to bring him to justice.
"So, who wants to go down first." Lelouch said as he flailed his magic power. Then, suddenly, Natsu crashed through the roof. He wasn't happy with Bora sullying Fairy Tail's name. "Natsu." Lelouch was happy to see him. But that happiness turned to confusion as Natsu suddenly became overwhelmed with motion sickness. "So… he has a problem with vehicles apparently." Lelouch sweat-dropped. He then turned towards Happy, who held Lucy by his tail.
"Hold up Happy, since when do you have wings?" Lucy asked the cat.
"I'll explain later, ok?" Happy told Lucy as they had to get out of there quickly.
"Happy, take Lucy and get to Euphemia! She has Lucy's keys! I'll handle these guys!" LElouch shouted to Happy.
"Aye sir!" Happy shouted as he flew off with Lucy. Lelouch then turned to Bora and his men.
"Now, let's see what I can do." Lelouch summoned his Water magic and formed a ball of condensed water in his palms.
"This guy's a wizard too?" One of the men shouted.
'Here we go' Lelouch raised his hands as he began to attack. "Water Typhoon!" A large volume of water then came gushing out of Lelouch's hands. The attack nearly got Bora and his men, but they retreated to an upper part of the ship before they could get swept away.
Lelouch had Natsu on his shoulders trying to help him out.
Meanwhile, Lucy and Happy were trying to get to shore, but they ran out of luck when Happy's Aero Magic to run out. As Lucy and Happy were falling to the sea, they suddenly got swept up by something.
"Hey, are you two ok?" Lucy woke up and saw that she was on some floating disk made of fire. The weird thing was, she wasn't feeling hot or anything.
"That was close." Lucy turned to see Euphemia with her arms out, seemingly controlling the disk.
"Euphemia!" Lucy shouted in joy.
"Hey Lucy." Euphemia said happily.
"What is this? How did you…" Lucy asked confoundedly. Euphemia giggled in response.
"Music magic isn't the only magic I've learned." She told Lucy. "This is my other magic, Memory-Make Magic."
"Memory-Make?" Lucy asked.
"I'll explain later." Euphemia said. She then pulled out Lucy's keys from her pocket, which caused Lucy to be happy.
"My gate keys!" Lucy shouted in glee. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
Euphemia smiled before turning back to the ship. "We still need to help Lelouch and Natsu."
"I got it covered." Lucy said as she held up one of her golden keys.
"Open: Gate of the Water Bearer – Aquarius!" Lucy inserted the key into the water, since they were low enough where she could reach it, and turned it, making a gate open. Aquarius then appeared before their eyes.
Aquarius was a celestial spirit who resembled a royal blue mermaid. She had a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reached up to her waist, and a large bust. She had blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. She wore a revealing dark blue bikini top and a golden armlet and bracelet on each arm. She also had a headband, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rested right under her collarbone. She also carried an urn which she uses her magic from.
"A fish!" Happy drooled. "Not for you." Lucy stopped Happy.
"That was awesome." Happy exclaimed. "That's the power of a Celestial wizard." Lucy told Happy. "Whenever I use my gate keys, I can summon spirits from other worlds to help me." Lucy then pointed to the yacht.
"Listen up, Aquarius." Lucy told the spirit. "I want you to use your power to push that ship back to the port."
"Tsk." Aquarius also had a bit of an attitude with Lucy.
"What's the big deal?! You're supposed to come from the Spirit World to help, not to give me attitude!" Lucy exclaimed, only to be given a death glare by Aquarius.
"Let's get one thing straight." Aquarius said. "The next time you even think about dropping my key, you're dead."
"Y-yes! It won't happen again!" Lucy and Happy fearfully said, intimidated by Aquarius' threat. Even Euphemia couldn't help but shiver at Aquarius' tone. It reminded her of Cornelia.
Aquarius then waved her urn and summoned forth an enormous wave of water. With a heavy grunt, she had the huge wave rush in the direction of the ship.
Lelouch saw the wave coming and closed his eyes, preparing for the impact. The wave hit the hip, as well as the flaming disk Lucy, Happy and Euphemia were on, sending them to the shore. "Why is the sea so angry!?" Bora yelled out in panic.
When the ship reached shore, it was in no condition to be out at sea anymore as it was on its side and destroyed from the impact of the wave and Lelouch's earlier water attack. The girls that were under Bora's Charm magic were able to wake up and flee from the ship, getting away from the hysteria.
Lucy was on shore and right next to Happy, who had his head buried in the sand. Euphemia, luckily, was able to land on her feet and remain slightly unscathed from the impact.
"What's the big deal? You think you could've tried not to sweep up me along with the ship!?" Lucy snapped.
"Oh, that was an accident. I didn't mean to get the ship." Aquarius responded rather rudely.
"Wait, that means you were aiming for ME!?" Lucy yelled angrily at Aquarius who just smirked while turning away from Lucy.
"Don't bother calling me for a while. I'm going on a weeklong vacation with my boyfriend." Aquarius said as she prepared to head back to the Celestial World. "And he's hot." Aquarius added just to rub salt in the wound as she disappeared.
"You don't have to rub it in!?" Lucy snapped.
Lelouch was on the side of the ship, recovering from the wave impact. "Well, that was a bit overkill." Lelouch commented as he looked at the ruined ship. "At least it stopped Bora from getting to Bosco."
Natsu was recovering as well and got back up rather quickly. Since he was now on shore, he wasn't getting sick anymore.
"That hurt." Bora muttered as he got up from the earlier impact. Bora then looked up to see Natsu staring down at him in anger.
"So," Natsu said, "you claim to be a member of the Fairy Tail guild."
"So, what's it to you?" Bora responded. "Go get him men." Two of his men began to rush towards Natsu, who was preparing to take his coat off
"Let me get a closer look at your face." Natsu said as the two thugs were rushing him. Natsu then swiped his arms at the thugs, knocking them out while also discarding his coat, revealing something shocking on his right shoulder.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, I'm a wizard from Fairy Tail! And I've never seen you before!" This caused Bora to be shocked. This guy was a member of the guild he claimed to be from.
"That's because he was never a member of your guild." Lelouch said from another part of the ship as he came into view. "He was only saying that so he could lure in girls with his Charm Magic and take them to Bosco to sell as slaves on the black-market."
Bora was now sweating as the people around them could hear them.
"He was once part of another guild, Titan Nose, until he was kicked out 3 years ago for using his magic to aid in thievery." Natsu was getting angrier by Lelouch's words. "After he got kicked out, he started his own gang and continued his acts of thievery under the alias Salamander. But I know who you really are." Bora was getting really nervous now. "So you may as well admit your false claim, admit to the world who you really are, BORA THE PROMINENCE!"
Bora was now freaking out. How in the world did he know. No, maybe he could tell the people he was crazy.
"Oh crap." One of Bora's men said. "This guy's got all the details on us Bora." Bora had a gobsmacked impression. "Don't call me that you fool! You're just backing up his words!" Bora yelled at the guy who exposed him.
"He's right." Happy said. "I know of this guy. Bora the Prominence, he was once a known member of Titan Nose, but 3 years ago he was excommunicated due to bad behavior and using his magic for malevolence."
"I have no idea what you're trying to do here buddy, but I do know one thing. I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DIRTY THE NAME OF THE FAIY TAIL GUILD!" Natsu roared in anger. Bora ordered his men to attack, but they were held up by Lelouch.
"Towering Tornado!" Lelouch roared. From the ground in front of him, a tornado suddenly emerged that engulfed the men, knocking them all out. Bora let out a grunt of frustration and decided to handle the two himself, starting with Natsu.
"Prominence Typhoon!" Bora then let out a huge amount of fire energy at Natsu who didn't even flinch as the attack hit him and exploded.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouted trying to go help him but was blocked by Happy.
"That's the way it goes. The bigger the talk, the weaker the man." Bora said to himself as he turned to deal with Lelouch before hearing a familiar voice.
"Augh! This is so gross!" Natsu said inside the flames. "Are you sure you're really a fire wizard? Because these are the nastiest flames I've ever tasted." Natsu said as he was eating the flames. Bora had a scared silly impression at the site of this.
As Natsu finished devouring the flames, he let out a small burp. "Thanks for the grub, poser." Natsu said with a smirk at seeing Bora's face.
"What's going on here, who is this kid!?" Bora yelled in utter shock.
Happy suddenly had a dark expression on his face. "Fire Magic is useless against Natsu." Happy said eerily.
"Now I've got a fire in my belly that's raging to get out!" Natsu said as he approached Bora, who decided to target Lelouch instead.
"Fine, I'll take down the other one first. Prominence Typhoon!" Bora let out another stream of flames at Lelouch, who just closed his eyes and raised his arms.
"Meaningless!"
Then to Bora's shock, as the attack hit Lelouch, he didn't even get fazed. In fact, Lelouch was absorbing the flames into his body.
"Wha!? But HOW!?" Bora yelled out. "That's my Elemental Magic. Not only can I use any Fire, Wind, Water, or Earth magic spell, but I can also absorb any attack comprised of any of those 4 elements to make myself stronger." Lelouch explained his magic (or rather, one of his magics) to Bora.
As Bora still stood there in shock, Lelouch turned to Natsu who was eager to let the fire in his belly out. "Natsu," Lelouch said, "Light him up."
"With pleasure." Natsu replied as he began his attack by puffing up his cheeks. "Here it goes. Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu then released a huge amount of fire from his mouth coming in fast. While Bora was barely able to dodge by making a tower of flames, he still felt the intensity of the attack as his ship was now completely destroyed.
"Hey Bora." One of the thugs said as he started to regain consciousness. "I swear I've seen this guy before." He said looking at Natsu. "The pink hair and the scaly-looking scarf. There's no doubt about it, he's got to be the real one."
Lucy was shocked. "Salamander!?" Natsu was the Salamander of Fairy Tail!?
"Hope you guys are paying attention," Natsu said as he covered his fists in flames, "this is what a Fairy Tail wizard can do. Here I come!" He said charging at Bora.
"Red Shower!" Bora fired a multitude of elongated circles of purple flame at Natsu who just brushed off the attack since it was made of fire and landed a hit on Bora, who went crashing into the ground.
"So he eats fire and then attacks with it?" Lucy said in awe of Natsu's power by herself as Euphemia went to the town to evacuate any nearby citizens. "But, how does he do it? Is it some kind of spell?"
"He has dragon lungs that allow him to breathe fire, "Happy began explaining for Lucy, "dragon scales to help him dissolve the fire, and dragon claws for attacking with fire." As Bora emerged from the rubble, Natsu landed on a nearby roof as Happy continued to explain. "His brand of Fire Magic allows his body to take on all the qualities of a dragon. It's an ancient magic that's rarely used today."
"Seriously!?" Lucy said.
"A magic that was originally designed to combat dragons." Euphemia exclaimed as she returned to Lucy's side, having finished evacuatin the nearby civilians and contacting the authorities. "Dragon Slayer Magic."
"That's right." Happy said. "Natsu's brand is called Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. It was taught to him by Igneel."
Bora turned his head and saw Lelouch charging at him. "Hell Prominence!" Bora fired a laser-like beam of fire at Lelouch, who just raised his palm and proceeded to absorb the spell. Bora was getting frustrated.
"Red Skull!" Bora fired two large spheres of fire that were adorned by a figure similar to that of a stylized, cartoon skull at Natsu and Lelouch. Natsu grabbed the attack heading towards him and proceeded to devour it while Lelouch, palm still open, absorbed the spell, increasing their power even further.
"Now that was a hefty meal." Natsu said, feeling rejuvenated from eating that attack.
Before Bora could do anything else, Lelouch suddenly appeared in front of him. "I should've mentioned, I can also channel any spell I've absorbed into any one of my four elements." Lelouch said as his fists began to harden like rock. "Gaia Uppercut!" Lelouch punched Bora in the chin, sending him into the sky where he was defenseless. "Natsu! Finish this!"
"Heh." Natsu said. "You're not doing to bad, but I'm about to cook you like a smoked fish."
"YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT TO ME!?" Bora yelled comically.
"Get ready." Natsu prepared his attack. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Natsu then punched Bora so hard, he soared through the town, going through many building's until he finally stopped when he hit the bell of a school building.
"Don't be silly Natsu," Happy said nonchalantly, "everyone knows you smoke food with smoke, not fire."
"Wow, that was amazing." Lucy said in awe. "BUT HE OVERDID IT!"
Lucy did a complete 180 when she saw how trashed the port was.
"The port is completely trashed!" Lucy yelled in shock.
"Oh dear…" Euphemia said.
They then heard the sounds of approaching footsteps and saw a group of men wearing knight armor heading to the site of the destruction.
"The Royal Army!" Lucy exclaimed, but suddenly felt like someone was dragging her.
"OH CRAP! We gotta get out of here!" Natsu yelled as he dragged Lucy by the arm.
"Wait! Where are you taking me!?" Lucy yelled at Natsu.
"Just come on." Natsu replied. "You said you wanted to join the Fairy Tail guild didn't you?"
He then gave Lucy a big toothy grin. "So, let's go."
"Right!" Lucy said, happy to get a chance to join the guild of her dreams.
"Euphie," Lelouch said to his sister, "we're going to. I have a feeling that Fairy Tail will be a big help to us."
Euphemia nodded and the two proceeded to follow Natsu and Lucy to Magnolia, home of the Fairy Tail guild.
Thus began Lelouch's quest of rescuing YHWH from complete death and the universe from total chaos. And soon, Lelouch's name would go down in history.
Wow. How was that for you? So, Lelouch has been given the task of saving YHWH, or God from a mysterious assailant who is trying to bring complete chaos to the universe. He was brought to Earthland and reunited with his sister Euphemia. And after helping Natsu take down a slave trader, he is on his way to Fairy Tail.
I originally planned to end this chapter after Macao was rescued, but it was becoming too long, so I decided to just end the chapter after Bora's defeat. The next chapter will have the mission to rescue Macao.
I will be making these chapters long so I can get as much plot out as possible, but I'm trying not to go over a 13K word range.
Updates to this story will not be on a scheduled basis. They will happen when they happen. Updates may be in the next couple of days, in the next month, or even in half a year. It won't matter how long it takes, when the chapters are done, they'll be posted.
Oh, and the main pairing right now is LelouchxEuphemiaxErzax?x?. The other 2 will be revealed as the story goes on.
As for Euphemia's appearance, go to Zerochan, search 'Euphemia li Britannia', find the picture of her with a staff, and you should get her appearance in this story.
That is all for now. Please follow and favorite if you wish. And don't hesitate to leave a review. Thank you, and farewell.
