Finally, here is chapter 2! Thank you for all the supports that motivated me to update this story as quick as possible. Enjoy this chapter!
The incident certainly shocked Gray's team and the 2 exceeds.
"Damn! What's with this cave!" Gray punched the ground.
Levy thought for a while."Maybe this is the cave that leads to Dragon Land…" She drew an assumption.
"You mean…Natsu and Wendy are heading toward Dragon Land right now?" Gray then looked at Levy.
"Probably." Replied Levy.
"Let us head back, worrying won't get us anywhere." Suggested Juvia.
"Yeah, Let's go back and tell Master about this." Gray stood up.
They headed back to the town. The next morning, they asked the townspeople about the cave. However, the townspeople said that there's nothing special about the cave. When they returned to the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov, was nowhere to be seen. Mirajane stated then he went out a while ago.
"Master's not here, what should we do?" Levy was troubled.
"I think I'll wait here for his return…." Wendy looked calm (Actually, she's not calm).
"I'll stay here too!" Said Happy.
"…..There's nothing we can do for now. Let's just wait for the master's return." Gray sat on a chair.
"Yes, that's the best we can do. We'll tell master when he returns." Agreed Levy.
"Juvia is worried about those two….." Juvia showed some concern.
Gray looked at Juvia for a while, he then smiled. "Don't worry, they are both Dragon Slayers. Besides, Natsu can be reliable sometimes you know."
"Yes! Thank you, Gray-sama!" Juvia regained her spirit.
"Why did you thank me?" Asked Gray.
"For comforting Juvia!" Juvia looked happy.
"I-I'm not comforting you anything, don't misunderstand!" Gray looked at the other direction.
In the meantime…
In a place similar to a wasteland, with a red sky and soil, Natsu appeared in the air…About 25 feet from the ground, and he began falling.
"Ouch!" Natsu fell to the ground. "What was that light thing….." He didn't care about the fall though….
Just after Natsu recovered from the fall, Wendy appeared in mid-air just like Natsu earlier."Huh?" When Wendy realized that she's in the air, she's already falling. She shouted and closed her eyes,afraid of getting hurt from the fall."Kyah!" She was caught by Natsu.
Wendy opened her eyes, and she saw Natsu holding her. "Natsu-san….."
"You all right, Wendy?" Asked Natsu with a cheerful expression.
"Y-yes, I'm fine, thank you for saving me…" Wendy blushed slightly, and thanked Natsu in a small, gentle tone.
Natsu then put Wendy down."Where is this place?" Natsu wondered.
"I've never been here too…." Wendy has no idea either.
Suddenly, they heard a roar…..Just like a roar of a Dragon. Seconds after that, A grey coloured Dragon descended from the sky.
"A-A Dragon?" Wendy was a little shocked.
"Hey! Do you know where the other Dragons are?" Natsu approached the Dragon and asked it a question immediately in a friendly manner.
The Dragon Roared, sending Natsu back a few steps, and it raised it's claws, preparing to attack Natsu. Just when the Dragon swung it's large claws, Natsu jumped. "Fire Dragons….Claw!" Natsu attacked the Dragon!
The Dragon was stunned for a while, before it fell down to the ground. Then, it was covered in white light, and it vanished!
"Huh?" Wendy went to the place where the Dragon collapsed.
"Whaaaaaaat? It vanished!" Natsu couldn't believe it.
"Did I hit it too hard? I didn't expect it to be so weak! I wanted to ask it Igneel's whereabouts too!" Natsu overreacted…..
"Wait Natsu-san, there's more in the sky!" Wendy pointed to the sky with a flock of Dragons.
There is indeed a large number of the same Dragon, around 30 Dragons with the same sizes.
"Hell! There's a lot of them!" Natsu looked at the sky full of Dragons.
Although 30 is not a huge number, those Dragons' size is big enough to scare people. All 30 then descended around Natsu and Wendy, surrounding them. One of the Dragons begin to attack Wendy with it's claws, but Natsu quickly grabbed Wendy and avoided the attack.
"Thank you Natsu-san." Wendy thanked Natsu.
"Wendy, prepare to fight them. They're not the Dragons we're looking for." Natsu figured something out.
"O-Okay!" Wendy agreed.
Natsu ignited both his arm on fire, and charged through the Dragons."Fire Dragons…..Wing!" Around 10 Dragons fell.
Wendy inhaled some air."Sky Dragons….Breath!" A light blue burst of wind took out another 10 Dragons.
"Good one!" Natsu complimented Wendy.
"Th-Thank you." Wendy was a little embarrassed.
However, just when the Dragons are almost cleared, more Dragons descended!
"There are more of them?" Wendy looked around her.
"Then, I'll just wipe all of them off!" Natsu was determined.
"It is not a good decision to fight all of them, but we are surrounded. Maybe fighting is necessary after all….." Wendy thought for a while. "Yes, I must do this."
"I will assist you too, Natsu-san!" Wendy was also determined.
"Great! Here I come, Dragons!" Natsu charged forward…..
In the meantime…..
At a place where there were a lot of colorful crystals in many different sizes, Makarov was having a confrontation with a hooded man in a black cape, with a symbolized red colored Dragon's skull on the back of the cape. "Why are you targeting them…?" Makarov asked the mysterious man with an angered face.
"Why? Because I know those kids will accept my request….." The hooded man said with an evil grin.
"Cancel the request right now!" Makarov yelled to the hooded man.
The hooded man chuckled. "Cancel it? Why must I cancel it?"
"You are putting the entire world's life in danger!" Makarov was angered more.
"I was planning to multiply those who once ruled the earth, and I will make the world a better place to live. Isn't that great?" The hooded man grinned.
"How dare you…..!" Makarov's body gets bigger and bigger.
The hooded man smiled. "Now, now, fighting will not do any good. Why can't you just sit back and wait those kids to complete the request? I'm sure they can do it."
"Just what kind of request did you sent?" Makarov became a giant.
"It's just a request in Dragon Land…..That's all I can tell you, it wouldn't be fun if you know everything, right?" Said the hooded man.
"Dragon Land you said?" Makarov prepares to land a punch.
"Yes, I believe you have heard about it. Interesting, right? If that's the request, I'm sure those Dragon Slayers on your guild will probably take it. Besides, they might already arrive in Dragon Land right now..." The hooded man then chuckled again.
Makarov then landed a punch in his giant form. However, the hooded man avoided his attack. "Just pray so those kids can return safely….." The hooded man vanished into thin air!
Makarov then returned to his original form. "This is not good, I must return to the guild immediately."
Makarov then headed back to the guild. Just when he stepped in the guild, Levy said: "Master! About Natsu and Wendy, there's something we must tell you!"
Makarov invited Gray's team and both Dragon Slayers' cats to his room. Gray then explained what happened to Natsu and Wendy. "What? They accepted the request already?" Makarov was shocked.
"What about it? Do you have a clue where are they now?" Gray asked Makarov.
"The client of that request is a hooded man. I don't know what his name is. He said that he was planning to recreate those who ruled the earth, possibly the Dragons, a lot of them." Makarov explained.
"I-Is that for real?" Levy couldn't believe it.
"He didn't tell me much about the request. However, about the disappearance of Natsu and Wendy, they might be in Dragon Land right now. As for the quest, which is defeating a Dragon, it might be a clone of a certain type of Dragon out there." Makarov explained further.
"Master, how do you meet that hooded man?" Juvia was curious.
Makarov took a deep breath, and he starts to recall what happened 4 days ago…
Flashback (4 days ago)
Makarov was taking a break after a meeting with the council. He was drinking a cup of tea, enjoying his moment. Suddenly, he sensed a strong dark magic around the guild. He then went out to find out where it comes from. He searched outside the guild for a while. Then, his surrounding vanished! All buildings, plants, and even humans vanished. Everything vanished until the entire area was covered in darkness.
"Looking for me, guild master of Fairy Tail?"The hooded man emerged from the darkness.
"Releasing such amount of magic just to lure me out, just what are you planning?." Makarov realized the hooded man's motive.
"So you realized, no wonder you are a guild master…." The hooded man was not surprised at all.
"Hurry and tell me what's your motive!" Makarov became serious.
"All right then. It's pretty simple actually. I want to borrow the Dragon Slayers in your guild for a while…. Although I knew that you will not agree to it." Grinned the hooded man.
"Of course I will not agree. Dragon Slayers' magic can't be used as a tool." Makarov replied.
"Just as I thought….. Then, I'll use another way…. Wait and see, old man." The hooded man returned to the darkness and vanished.
Makarov's surroundings returned to normal, it seems like no one knew what just happened. It's like they didn't even notice it. "…" Makarov then returned to the guild.
Present Time
"So that's what happened, Juvia understands now." Juvia's curiosity was cleared.
"Is there something we can do to go to Dragon Land?" Asked Gray.
"I afraid there's nothing we can do to get there. Dragon Land is located in another dimension." Stated Makarov.
"Another dimension?" Levy was interested in the subject.
"Yes, another dimension. That mysterious man seems to be controlling dimensions at his own will." Said Makarov.
"By the way, are there Dragons in Dragon Land?" Gray asked Makarov again.
"It is called Dragon Land because a few hundred years ago, a lot of Dragons lived there. That's why villagers called that place Dragon Land. However, I think only a few Dragons live there now. The villagers developed a machine known as Dragon Portal, which sends Dragons to another dimension." Makarov retelled Dragons Land's history briefly, and he stood up, and opened the door.
"Master, where are you going?" Levy also stood up.
"I'll go to think of a way to get Natsu and Wendy out from Dragon Land." Makarov then went outside the room.
"… Let's go out too. I don't like being in other people's room without the owner of the room….." Levy then opened the door.
Gray's team also exited Makarov's room, and there's nothing they can do except waiting for Makarov's good news, if there are any…
In an abandoned building, 20 bandits are lying on the ground, unconscious…..
"Please, let me go! I'll stop being a bandit! I beg you, let me go!" Those bandit's leader begged.
Erza then swung her sword, the tip of her sword are just 3 millimeters away from the bandit leader's skull. The bandit leader then fainted from the fright.
"Why are we doing such kind of job? I couldn't even pick my own job!" Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer, complained.
"I saw Natsu put this job back on the request board, and I think this job is the best one among the other jobs on that request board." Erza told Gajeel her reason.
"Whatever! Now that we're done with this quest, let's just go back…I want to do a job I picked myself." Gajeel turned his back and walked away.
"Youngsters this day are not patient, are they?" Said Macao while playing with his purple flame.
"To tell you the truth, I want to go back too….." Said Visca.
Erza closed her eyes and smiled."We're done with this one anyway, let's meet the client and head back then."
Erza and Gajeel's team headed back to the guild after they obtained 50 thousand jewel.
Inside the guild, they're planning to separate their reward….
"Mine's 20 thousand, Gajeel's 15 thousand, Macao's 10 thousand, and Visca's 5 thousand." Erza divided the reward.
"Why's mine only 5 thousand?" Visca complained.
"I divided it based on our team's performance." Answered Erza.
"I don't care about the money anyway. 15 is enough for me." Gajeel was satisfied with his amount.
"I'm fine, though. Now, I'm going to have a drink with Wakaba, just come to me when you guys got another job." Macao then went to Wakaba, who just returned from a quest too.
Gajeel went to the request board, searching for a job to do. "This is weird, if I'm not mistaken; I saw a job with the word "Dragon" on it before that Erza dragged me with her….. Maybe someone else took it? Damn…..Am I too late?"
Near the bar counter, Cana approached Lucy and gave her a pat in the shoulder."So, how was the first job with your new team?"
"Uhh…It's fine. I didn't do a lot though." Replied Lucy.
"Well, despite his appearance, Wakaba's skill is not that bad you know." Said Cana.
"Y-yeah, I'm surprised too, he done quite a lot during the quest." Lucy smiled, and starts thinking that her team was not that bad after all.
Meanwhile, In Dragon Land…..
Natsu was lying on the ground, heavily wounded.
"Natsu-san! Hold on! I'll heal your wounds!" Wendy approached the wounded Natsu, trying to heal him. However, the wound was too deep, so it's not fully recovered yet. Wendy then helped Natsu to stand.
Suddenly, a hooded man approached Wendy and Natsu. "So…You actually managed to defeat all of them. Impressive… However, carelessness can cause a great trouble. One hit from the dragon might cause serious injury you know." Grinned the hooded man.
"Wh-Who are you?" Wendy asked while supporting Natsu to stand.
"Don't question too much there, little girl….. You'll know everything soon enough. The hooded man lifted his finger, and a huge rock behind Natsu and Wendy vanished!
"Don't….You….Dare…Hurt Wendy…!" Said Natsu despite his wound.
"Natsu-san! Don't speak too much, the wound was too heavy, it still needs sometime to be fully healed!" Worried Wendy.
The hooded man lifted his finger again, and a red light appeared from his finger. "So…You can still speak after all those fights….I'm amazed….. However, I must see your power with my own eyes…."
