Chapter 8: Awaken the Dragon Slayer Potential
Morning has risen and now it was the time for Natsu's training. Abaddon opened the door to Natsu's room.
"Okay Natsu are you ready for you training?"
Abaddon looked at Natsu and was shock to see what has happened. On the bed was natsu but holding him was Lucy. Abaddon didn't know if he should leave or wake them up. Then Natsu started to yawn and opened his eyes. Natsu notices Abaddon and just waved his hand. Abaddon waved back and Natsu got out of his bed. At the same time Natsu was naked and Abaddon looked away. Natsu got some new clothes on and walked out of the room. Abaddon closed the door and followed Natsu.
"Um Natsu are you going to tell me what happened with you and Lucy last night?"
"Huh what do you mean?"
"Do you know what happen between you and Lucy?"
"Well the last thing I remember was going to sleep and that's it mostly."
"Oh well okay then."
Natsu and Abaddon made it to the training room and they opened the door. Inside of it was your normal average training room but it was very large and had its own sitting stands. At those stands were Natsu's friends and they were all cheering for him.
"Hey everyone!"
"Good luck Natsu" shouted everyone.
Natsu smiled and looked back at Abaddon and he begin to speak.
"Okay Natsu are you ready because remember we will be in here for four weeks but don't worry we'll be able to take some breaks but not too long."
"I am up for anything."
"Okay then let's get started. Igneel come on out."
A big door opened and out came Igneel in his dragon form. Igneel stand right beside Natsu and Abaddon started making an enchanting magic. Once Abddon had finished his magic he shot it towards Natsu and Igneel. A big dust filled the room and when it cleared Igneel was gone. Natsu and his friends were shocked by this. Abaddon then said," It's okay I extracted Igneel inside of you. Watch try talking to him through telepathy."
Natsu closed his eyes and begins to speak inside his own head.
("Hey Igneel are you there?")
("Yes Natsu I am.")
Natsu opened his eyes and was smiling happily. Abaddon gave a smile too and said," Okay now first you must channel your magic with Igneel's. You must concentrate on finding Igneel's fire power. Look deep within your own heart and let it burst you up."
Natsu begins to concentrate on finding the power within himself. Then Natsu felt a spark that hit him in the chest. Natsu look at Abaddon and nodded at him.
"Wow Natsu! You are a quick learner. This might take up at least a week or maybe a day."
"Well maybe it's just my dragon instincts."
"Okay now the second step is to enter dragon force mode."
Natsu started to charge his magic until he reached his limit. He reached his limit and then transformed into his dragon force.
"Nice and now the long part. In dragon force you must stay like this for twelve hours. At the same time you must not disengage dragon force or we will have to start over."
"Wait that is insane!"
"I know Natsu but we have no choice."
"Fine then."
Natsu sat down on the floor and closed his eyes. He started to concentrate on keeping his dragon force balance. Abaddon was now watching and at the stands Natsu's friends were very amazed.
"Twelve hours that's crazy!"
"Twelve hours is nothing for us dragon slayers Gray."
"I know but damn that seems hard."
Then the doors open and it was Lucy. She was back in her usual clothes and Levy waved over at her so she can see where to sit. Lucy sat next to Levy and Levy said," Hey Lucy."
"Hey Levy."
"So where have you been?"
"Well I been asleep because Natsu had me stay up all last night."
"Really?"
"Well I think but I can't really remember."
"Okay but what happened when you woke up?"
"Well when I woke up I find myself naked on my bed. It was curious to think about but at least Natsu wasn't in the room. It would have been embarrassing."
Levy was dead shock and had no more words left to say. Gajeel then decided to leave and go find something to eat. He left the room and headed to one of Abaddon's room.
"Man this place is so big I can't barley remember where the kitchen's at."
He went through another room and in the room made Gajeel feel strange. The room he entered were the dragon's home but all of the dragons are in their statue form. He started to walk down the room till he found his dragon.
"Metalicana?"
("Gajeel is that you?")
"Wait how am I hearing you?"
("It's telepathy you baboon.")
"Oh yeah sorry I forgot."
("So why are you here?")
"Well I was going to find something to eat but since I'm here can I ask you something?"
("Go head tell me anything.")
"Do you think that after Natsu and Igneel are done-"
("Wait Igneel has returned?")
"Oh yeah sorry I forgot to tell you that."
("Then what is Igneel doing right now?"
"Well Abaddon is trying to unlock dragon awakening for them."
("Dragon awakening?")
"Have you heard of it?"
("Yes I have and this magic is very dangerous.")
"Why is that Metalicana?"
("First of all dragon awakening is where the dragon slayer and his dragons bonds are strong enough. The dragon slayer will turn into a dragon but not you big and usual dragon. First the dragon slayer skin will turn into his dragon's skin. Next his eyes will gain the ability of dragon sights. Third he will grow wings and will have the ability to fly. Then he will have claws of a dragon and feet of a dragon. Lastly is the most dangerous part of it though.")
"Then what is Metalicana?"
("The dragon slayer body must decide to accept the form. If the body declines his transformation then he might die.")
"What but how do you know all of this?"
("I know this because we all saw Acnologia do this with his dragon.")
"So you're saying that Acnologia was the first to do this?"
("Yes but he was doing well until his dragon lost concentration and got sent out of Acnologia body. That is how he became a dragon.")
"Okay but what happened to his dragon?"
("He got sentence to death by the godly council. Abaddon tried to change their answer but it was already settled.")
"Okay. I think I should head back."
("You should Gajeel and make sure nothing happens to Natsu. Plus if this goes well then maybe you and I can do the same.")
"Of course Metalicana."
Gajeel left and Metalicana went back to his long statue sleep. As Gajeel returned Natsu was still trying to balance his dragon force. Gajeel sat down next to Levy and Levy notice Gajeel looking strange.
"Hey Gajeel is everything alright?"
"Huh oh of course shrimp. Nothing bothers me."
"Okay and when we return back home I might need to see a doctor."
"Why is that?"
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
"No?"
"Okay you'll see when we get home."
Gajeel shrugged his shoulders and looked back at Natsu.
-FEW HOURS LATER-
It was almost time for Natsu to fully complete his concentration. Right then and now Natsu opened his eyes and stand up. The tweleve hour limit has finished but Natsu doesn't fell any different.
"Hey Abaddon how can I tell if I did this step right?"
"Well do you feel your magic being drained out?"
"No not really but is this the reason why?"
"Yes because when you finished your dragon force won't be using too much magic out of you. Now comes the final part. Natsu hold out your hand."
He put his hand out and Abaddon grabbed his hand. He then started saying some enchantment and then a beam of fire hit Natsu. Natsu started to begin screaming in pain once the fire hit. Everyone got scared but Abaddon told them all to calm down. He looked back at Natsu and shouted," Natsu you must control this fire! This is the only way for you to transform!"
"It hurts!"
"I know it does but you have to concentrate! Sync with Igneel when its ready!"
Natsu couldn't bare the pain and was about to give up till he started to have flashback of his good times with his friends. He then remember the promise that he made to reunite Fairy Tail. Natsu begins to stand up and stand straight. He now gave a serious look and closed his eyes so he can talk with Igneel.
("You ready Igneel?")
("I'm always ready!")
The fire that hit Natsu started to make a tornado around Natsu. Natsu then begins to suck the fire and when he sucked it all in a bright light hits the room. The only thing everyone saw was that Natsu changing into something else. Then the light disappeared and all that everyone saw was Natsu but a different Natsu. He now looks like igneel but in his normal human body. Abaddon got a mirror and put it in front of Natsu.
"So what do you think?"
Natsu looked at himself and was amazed of what he looked like. His skin matched Igneels, he has claws like Igneel, his eyes can see through almost anything, and has wings like Igneel.
"I look just like Igneel", his voice sounds much like a dragon tone. Then Natsu fell to his knees and turned back into his normal self. Natsu notices it and was curious about it.
"Hey Abaddon what happened?"
"That is the after effect of the dragon awakening. You'll need a lot more training in order to fully control the power."
"Okay then so when should we get-"
Right then the training room door has opened and who came in was no ordinary person. It was a boy but he looked very strange. He had spiky black hair and look around the age of 19. His eyes were an ocean type of color. He wore a hooded black long coat jacket with red flames but with blue lines on his sleeve and the bottom. He also wore some black gloves. The boy walked towards Abaddon but Gray, Gajeel, Wendy, and Lilly jumped from the stands and in front of Abaddon to protect him.
"Guys you know I'm a god so I don't really need this protection."
They looked him and nodded and moved out of his way. Abaddon walked towards the mysterious boy and asked," How did you get here and why are you here?"
The boy looked at Abaddon and said," My name is Zack Orion and I am the son of Aconologia."
This have shocked everyone in the room. Abaddon was very curious about this.
("Just when have Acnologia had time to have a child?")
Zack continue on what he was saying.
"I came here to give you a message."
"A message from who?"
"From another god."
He handed Abaddon a letter and he read it. He was very surprise by it and was a little worried.
"Thank you and I'll send him a message for our little meeting."
"Okay and your welcome."
Zack was about to leave till Abaddon asked him something.
"You are a ghost aren't you? That is how you got here."
"How did you know?"
"Well there are two ways to get here. One is to be invited by a god. Another is that I let spirits roam around this palace."
"Yes I died but mostly half dead. I am half ghost and half human."
"I see and your magic if the same as your father?"
"Yes but I don't care for him anymore."
"Okay you may leave now."
"Okay."
Zack left and silence filled the room. Till he got a message through his holographic magic. Abaddon opened the message and was annoyed by it.
"Really he's already heading here! Everyone I need you all to leave now. I am meeting with an important man. I will send your belongings back home."
Natsu then raised to his feet and said," Wait what about my training?"
"You will have to train yourself Natsu. I'm sorry but this is really important."
Abaddon shot a beam of light to everyone and they all got sent back home.
(Back a Magnolia)
Everyone was teleported in Lucy's apartment and everyone was very curious about what just happened.
"I don't understand what the hell is going on here!"
"I know gray but whatever happens just stays that way. For now though I need you and Gajeel to come and help train with me."
"Got it" said both of the boys.
Gajeel, gray, and Natsu left leaving behind Levy, Wendy, Juvia, Lucy, and the three cats.
"Okay then I guess I would clean up the mess they left" said Lucy.
She got up and started to clean and so did the others.
