Here's chapter 3! I made it a bit longer then the previous chapters, hope you guys like it!
"Since you want to fight, I'll take you on!" Natsu approached the hooded man, since his wound was not that bad anymore, due to Wendy's healing magic.
"Natsu-san, if you fight now, your wound might open again!" Wendy warned Natsu.
"Don't misunderstand….I will not fight you." The hooded man spins his finger, which was shining in a red color, and a dimensional hole appeared!
"The one that is going to fight, or should I say…Test you, is this one." A 7 feet tall green Cyclops with a red eye appeared!
"Dimensional Gates?" Wendy has never seen this type of magic before.
"I wish you luck…..I'll be observing you somewhere else…." The hooded man vanished…
"Hey! Don't run away!" Natsu attempted to catch the hooded man, but, he wasted his effort.
The Cyclops, turned his head around, and locked it's eye on Natsu, who was turning his head around, searching for the hooded man. The Cyclops then charged toward Natsu with an amazing speed. "Natsu-san! Watch out!" Wendy shouted.
"Huh?" Natsu looked behind him, and….
"BAM!" The Cyclops crashed through a rock. Natsu successfully evaded the attack. "That was close, thanks there, Wendy." Natsu put a determined face to fight the Cyclops.
"D-don't mention it…." Wendy felt a little embarrassed.
"Take…this!" Natsu hit the cyclop in the skull with his punch engulfed in flame.
"Gwooo!" The Cyclops fell onto the ground.
"How's that? Is it defeated already?" Natsu then approached the lying Cyclops, and kicked it in the skull…..
"Graaaaa!" The Cyclops suddenly lands an uppercut!
"Gwah!" Natsu got hit, and now it's his turn to fell onto the ground.
Natsu then stood up, and grinned." Bring it on! I will smash you to pieces!"
Natsu charged forward, and landed several punches. The Cyclops was stunned for a while, and then Natsu engulfed his fist in a large flame, and" Fire Dragon's…..Iron Fist!" The Cylops was sent flying, and crashed on a large boulder.
"Take that, you one-eyed weirdo!" Natsu posed a victory pose…..And his wound opened….."Gwah!" Natsu fell onto the ground.
However, The Cyclops raised it's head, stars at Wendy for a few seconds with it's eye became yellow. The Cyclops then launched a fast moving laser beam from it's eye towards Wendy! Wendy wants to dodge the attack; however, she couldn't move her body! Wendy closed her eyes, waiting for the laser to hit her. However, after a while, nothing happened to her. She then opened her eyes."Natsu-san!" Natsu protected Wendy from the laser by guarding her.
"Heh, I told you right? I will protect you if anything happens….." Natsu struggled a litte, but he managed to grin and keep on standing.
The Cyclops then fell unconscious; While Wendy approached Natsu. "Natsu-san! I-I will heal you again!" Wendy then prepares to use her healing magic once more.
"No need for that. It's not like I'll die from this weak attack….." Natsu grabbed Wendy's arm, stopped her from healing him.
"But…..But….!" Tears started to fall from Wendy's eyes.
"Besides, the air here decreased your magic power; it's different from our place." Natsu put Wendy's arm down, and he released his grip from Wendy's arm.
The hooded man then suddenly emerged. "My, my, looks like that that Cyclops has damaged you pretty much there, Salamander."
"There you are, let's settle this one on one!" Natsu challenged the hooded man, although he already has trouble to keep on standing.
"Stop calling for those creatures! Natsu-san can't fight anymore!" Yelled Wendy.
"Looks like that I'm the bad guy here…Don't worry, I'm not here to fight him. I was just testing him. In fact, I will heal that Salamander." The hooded man then gave Natsu a green colored pill.
"That's a recovery pill. It will heal most injuries instantly… By the way, don't underestimate the Dragons and other creatures here. Although they're not that tough, they can deal a pretty bad damage… " Said the hooded man.
,
Natsu didn't say anything for a while, before he…Really ate the green pill.
"He really ate it!" Wendy was stunned by Natsu's quick decision…
Then, his wounds are disappearing, and in just a few seconds, all the wounds have recovered!
"The wounds, they have recovered!" Wendy was amazed.
"WOW! That's one great pill!" Natsu was also amazed.
"And…..One more thing, just keep on going west from here, and you'll find a small village. They'll tell you about the request…." The hooded man hinted.
"Request? You mean, THIS place is Dragon Land?" Natsu was stunned.
"Yes it is. Haven't you realized it yet?" The hooded man replied.
"That sure makes sense. I fought a lot of Dragons just now." Natsu scratched his head.
"Dragons?" Wendy remembered about something. "Are you the one that summoned those Dragons? And what do you mean by "Testing" us?"
"Huh? No, I'm not the one that summoned those Dragons. Those Dragons were created by someone. As for the test part, you'll know it soon enough." The hooded man explained.
"Created?" Wendy became confused.
"Yes, created. You guys will know about it when you reached the village." The hooded man then turned his back.
"Really? Then let's go to the village!" Natsu was excited.
"I wish you a safe journey….." The hooded man then vanished.
,
"Natsu-san, do you trust that man?" Wendy asked Natsu.
Natsu crossed his arm and thought for a while. "Not really, but we don't know where we must head to. So, let's just go to the village that guy was talking about!" Natsu grinned and he walks in the west direction.
"Y-Yes!" Wendy then follows Natsu.
In Fairy Tail guild…
"Huh? There's such a thing?" Gajeel was shocked.
"Yeah, master is figuring a way to get those two out from there." Gray crossed his arm while sitting on a chair (Fully clothed…)
"Hmm…But that place sure is interesting." Said Gajeel.
"Interesting?" Gray doesn't know what Gajeel meant.
"A place where a lot of Dragons once lived….. Isn't that interesting? Maybe there are some Dragons there that know where all the Dragons gone." Said Gajeel while putting on a little smile.
"That's just a possibility; master said that place is located in another dimension. So, the Dragons might not have the knowledge of this world." Erza stated.
"Right…By the way, where are your teammates? I haven't seen them since I returned." Gajeel questioned Gray.
"Juvia and Levy are helping master to figure a way of returning Natsu and Wendy." Gray answered.
"Is it possible for us to get to Dragon Land by using the same method as Natsu and Wendy?" Pantherlily suddenly popped out.
"What the- When did you come here?" Gray was shocked.
"Just now. When you was explaining about the other dimension.
"Oh….. I don't know whether the same method can be used or not. But, maybe non-Dragon Slayers are not able to enter that dimension." Said Gray.
"Then, let's give it a shot!" Gajeel stood up.
"WHAT? Are you crazy? If you go there, you might not be able to return again!" Gray also stood up.
"There's no place that can be entered but can't be escaped!" Gajeel shouted.
"That's another dimension! Anything is possible! Unless there is a guy that can open and close dimension gates freely!" Gray shouted back.
"Open and close dimension gates?" Erza thought of something."That's it!" Erza stood up too…
"Huh?" Both Gray and Gajeel stare at Erza.
,
"So…You're saying that we just need to find that hooded guy?" Gray understood Erza's explanation.
"How the hell can we find him? We don't even know his whereabouts…." Gajeel placed his fist on his cheek.
"We can look around here…."Suggested Pantherlily.
"Look around? That guy won't be around here….."Gajeel thinks that Pantherlily's suggestion can't be put into use.
"Still, it will be much better if that man come to this guild." Erza sighed. "How about asking master?"
"Yeah, he might have some clue on that guy's whereabouts." Gray agreed with Erza.
Gray, Gajeel, and Erza then headed to the guild master's room. When they knocked the door, Levy greeted them."Where's master?" Erza asked.
"Um, master said that he had a stomachache, so he went to the toilet." Levy answered.
"It's almost 2 hour, is the stomachache that bad?" Juvia questioned.
"Almost…..2 hour?" Gajeel couldn't believe it.
"…This is bad….." Erza whispered.
"Huh?" Gray noticed it.
"We have to search for master, right now!" Erza turned her back, preparing to leave the room.
"What do you mean by that?" Gray was a little confused.
"I'll tell you on the way, now let's go!" Erza then dashed out from the room.
"Isn't it better to ask for more people's help?" Levy asked.
"No, we can't implicate them with such trouble." Erza answered.
The others were quite confused, but they listened to Erza and went out to search for Makarov…..
In a place full of colorful crystals…..
"What do you want now?" Makarov questioned.
"What do I want? You should know it, right?" The hooded man smiled while sitting on a large rock.
"You…Want to take Gajeel to Dragon Land?" Makarov guessed.
The hooded man grinned."You got it right there! I thought another help from a Dragon Slayer will be much better."
"Why can't you just open the gate and let those 2 Dragon Slayers out?" Said Makarov seriously.
"I can't do that right now. If I do that, who will handle my request?" Said the hooded man.
"What kind of request was that?" Makarov asked the question for the second time.
"Hmm….Maybe I should tell you something about the quest." Said the hooded man calmly.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Makarov shouted.
"All right, all right. The objective of the quest is to annihilate a Dragon there…." The hooded man told Makarov.
"What? What kind of Dragon?" Makarov asked the hooded man further.
"I will not tell you about that right now, maybe some other time. I'm a busy man, you know." The hooded man stood up.
"….." Makarov didn't say anything.
"So, how about it? Care to bring another Dragon Slayer? This way, the quest will be completed in no time." The hooded man smiled.
"No way. Dragon Land is too dangerous for those kids. Return them here, now!" Makarov declined.
"You refuse to bring me another Dragon Slayer? Think about it, the faster the quest is completed, the sooner they will return here." Said the hooded man.
"You should know it….How dangerous that Dragon is!" Makarov yelled.
"Dangerous? I haven't even told you about the Dragon yet." The hooded man scratched his head.
"I don't need you to tell me. If it was other Dragons, you can defeat them yourself, even though you are not a Dragon Slayer." Said Makarov seriously.
"Maybe you're right…..But you don't need to worry that much. I'm sure those Dragon Slayers can defeat that Dragon. Besides, are we even talking about the same Dragon here?" The hooded man sat on the large rock again.
"Then I'm going to tell you about that Dragon…." Makarov looked downward.
"Oh? Go ahead." The hooded man was interested.
"Several hundred years ago, there was a large and developed village in Dragon Land. Although it was an average sized village, the technologies there are very high. Advanced weapons are available there…That time, the villagers survived by eating Dragon Meats and Dragon Fruits." Makarov explained, and paused for a while.
"….."The hooded man kept on listening.
"They were able to defeat Dragons there because of the advanced weapons they had. However, one day, a large, purple colored Dragon with red eyes and large wings appeared. The Dragon attacked and killed a few villagers. The villagers then started a war with that Dragon. But, that Dragon was different from other Dragons in Dragon Land. It was larger, and it's power was far more powerful. In a few hours, the entire village was destroyed. The Dragons' destruction was slowed down due to the advanced weapons of the villagers. Some villagers survived from the Dragon's rampage, and escaped to other place of the land. They then developed a machine called the Dragon Portal, and they approached the purple Dragon. A few villagers lost their lives, but the Dragon Portal was managed to be activated. The Dragon was sucked in, and being teleported to another dimension. Even so, it is said that the Dragon managed to return to Dragon Land, by passing though dimension gates. That is why, that Dragon is called The Dimension Dragon." Makarov finished explaining.
The hooded man clapped his hands. "Good one! So, you managed to figure what kind of Dragon I was talking about."
"So, I was right….." Makarov stared at the hooded man.
"Still, I need that Dragon Slayer of yours, because I don't know where other Dragon Slayers are." Said the hooded man.
"There's no way I'm going to put my guild members in such danger. Return those 2 Dragon Slayers, right now." Makarov stated.
"Do you trust your guild member's ability? They'll be able to defeat that Dragon." The hooded man stood up.
"...There's something I want to ask you." Said Makarov.
"Hm? What is it?" The hooded man replied.
"Is this barrier visible?" Makarov asked.
"For those without magical powers, this barrier is not visible. For those with magical powers, this barrier is visible, it looks like a giant black ball, and can be entered, through a large door, just like a castle's door in term of size. " The hooded man answered.
"Why didn't you create an invincible barrier to everyone?" Makarov asked the hooded man again.
"Because I don't know how to." The hooded man answered straightforwardly.
"I see." Makarov nodded.
Outside the barrier….
"Hm? What is that black ball over there?" Gray noticed.
"Just as I thought…Let's charge in!" Erza commanded the group.
"Charge in? From where?" Juvia was confused.
"There's a large door over there." Erza cleared Juvia's confusion.
"A-door?" Gray couldn't believe there's such thing on that "Ball"…..
Inside the barrier…
"The time for talk is over. Hand me the Iron Dragon Slayer so the quest will be completed faster, and those Dragon Slayers will also return faster." The hooded man then demands for a handshake.
"What if I decline?" Makarov grinned.
"Then, I will have to use another way." The hooded man replied.
"Is it by teleporting them to Dragon Land?" Makarov then approaches the hooded man.
"Hm? No. That was not my doing." The hooded man shook his head.
"Then….What will it be?" Makarov got near the hooded man.
"I will not tell you everything right now…" Said the hooded man.
Makarov then raises his hand, and slapped the hooded man's hand!
"I decline your offer." Makarov grinned again.
Then, just behind Makarov, a group of people came in! Erza, Gajeel, Gray, Juvia, and Levy have arrived!
"Master!" Shouted Erza while opening the door, letting the group inside.
Makarov was not surprised. As if he already knew that this will happen.
The hooded man noticed this."Oh...That's quite a group you have there…."
That's all for chapter 3! (Sorry if there are some mistakes, I was confused on which one is correct, Cyclop or Cyclops) I wonder how do you guys think of Makarov's explanation part. Please review this chapter! (I'm also open to suggestions!)
