Here's chapter 5! I'm really,really sorry for the late update (due to my studies). Hope you guys like this chapter!
Makarov and the group went down to the first floor and approached the hooded man. "There you are old man. It's quite hard to find you here, you know."
"What's your purpose? Coming all the way here." Makarov asked.
"It is not convenient to talk here. Let's talk somewhere else, shall we?" Said the hooded man.
"Suit yourself." Makrov agreed.
"Great. You guys should come too." The hooded man asked the group to come along.
They then went to the previous place (Where Makarov and the hooded man had negotiation.) The hooded man snapped his fingers again, and a place full of colorful crystals was formed. "What do you want to talk about this time?" Makarov asked the hooded man.
"Don't put such a serious face, I'm planning to do something you always ask me to do, you know." The hooded man grinned.
"You mean…" Levy already has a guess on her mind.
"Yes, to open the dimension gate to Dragon Land, where those two Dragon Slayers are." Said the hooded man.
"Do you have an ulterior motive?" Erza is not convinced.
"Of course I don't have any. I'm doing this voluntarily." The hooded man answered.
"Then do it now!" Gray "commanded".
"I got it, I got it." The hooded man prepares to open the gate.
The hooded man's index finger shines in a red color, and he made a circle with it. A dimension gate then appeared."Now then, to target those Dragon Slayers….." The hooded man stretched his arm forward. "There they are."
The hooded man then inserted his head through the dimension gate….
In Dragon Land….
Natsu and Wendy are riding a carriage controlled by one of the villagers of Dragon Village (The carriage was prepared by the village elder). "Damn it….I will not ride a carriage ever again….." Natsu was having his usual motion sickness.
"Hang in there, Natus-san; we almost arrive at the North Cliff." Wendy comforts Natsu.
Suddenly, the horse stopped, restoring Natsu from his motion sickness. "It stopped…Have we arrived at the north cliff?" Natsu and Wendy asked the villager.
"Yes, the carriage can't go any further. You must climb the cliff yourself." The villager explained.
"Whatever. So, that dragon is at the top of this cliff huh?" Natsu and Wendy exited the carriage.
"Perhaps. I wish you luck." The villager then left without leaving any information…..
"We…Must climb this?" Wendy is having trouble with the method to reach the top of the cliff.
"Huh? Are you having a problem with that?" Natsu asked Wendy.
"N-No….." Wendy thought this is the only way to reach the top of the cliff.
"Then, we'll just have to climb this thing!" Natsu was full with energy…..
"But….What if the dragon's not at the top?" Wendy afraid that their effort will go to waste.
"Then we'll just have to return here by climbing down the cliff." Said Natsu cheerfully.
"…." Wendy doesn't know what to say.
"All right then, let's climb this-whoa!" Natsu saw a head appeared from a dimension gate.
"Um…What's your name again?" Natsu forgot the hooded man's name.
"That's not important. By the way, your guild master is here." The hooded man then pulled his head out from the dimension gate, and turned his head to Makarov. "Now, talk to him."
Makarov JUMPED into the dimension gate, and he reached Dragon Land (The dimension gate still opens).
"Hey, old man! Why did you come here?" Natsu greeted in a friendly manner.
"I came here to take you two back." Makarov told the two Dragon Slayers his purpose.
"What? Take us back? There's no way I'll quit on a quest after I accepted it." Natsu refused to return.
"I-I agree with Natsu-san, master. If we leave now, the village might be destroyed by the Dragon." Wendy also refused to return.
"…You two really don't want to return right now?" Makarov asked.
"No." Natsu responded quickly.
Makarov sighed, he closed his eyes and he thought for a while. "Fine."
Makarov then slowly turns into his giant form.
"Don't tell me…Master will use force to make us return….?" Thought Wendy.
"Bring it on! I still won't go back right now!" Natsu seems ready to fight.
Makarov then fully turned into a giant, and he lifted his right hand. Wendy closed her eyes while Natsu went into his battle stance.
However, Makarov lowered his hand, putting it on the ground near Natsu and Wendy.
"Huh?" Wendy opened her eyes.
"Get on, I will help you guys to reach the top of this cliff." Said Makarov.
"Really? That's great! Thanks there, old man!" Natsu dragged Wendy to Makarov's palm.
"Make sure you defeat that Dragon so I can drag you guys back." Makarov then lifted his hand with his palm still opens.
"Don't worry, We'll beat that Dragon up pretty badly for sure!." Natsu grinned.
Makarov smiled, and he lowered his hand again, before lifting it strongly and quickly, sending the two Dragon Slayers up to the top of the cliff. Makarov then returned to his usual, short form.
"Heh, good one there." The hooded man emerged from the dimension gate.
"Return those to when they're finished with your request." Makarov walks toward the dimension gate.
"Of course." The hooded man also went inside the dimension gate.
Makarov arrived at "his" dimension, and the dimension gate was closed by the hooded man.
"So, you let them go?" Gray asked after he witnessed the situation by "peeking" through the dimension gate.
"Yes, they'll be fine anyway…Hopefully." Makarov walked past Gray, heading towards the exit.
"Somehow, I know you're going to do that….." Gray grinned.
The group then went back to the Fairy Tail guild.
"So, you want to assist them?" The hooded man asked someone.
"Yeah, I've made up my mind." Said the other guy.
"Perfect…" The hooded man opened the dimension gate to Dragon Land once again for the other man to go through…
(Again)In Dragon Land…
"There's the top! That throw sure is something!" Natsu prepares to arrive at the top of North Cliff.
"But, what if we don't land at the top? I mean, we may see the top, but not land on it…." Wendy was worried.
"Don't worry; I'll hold the edge of the cliff." Natsu smiled.
The two Dragon Slayers can finally see the top of the cliff. However, Wendy was right…..They didn't arrive at the top of the cliff by landing at the top of the cliff….
"Here we go!" Natsu stretched his hand, aiming for the edge of the cliff.
"Got it!" Natsu managed to grab onto the edge of the cliff. Meanwhile, Wendy started to fall…..
"W-Waah!" Wendy was startled.
Natsu realized this, and he stretched his other hand, and he grabbed Wendy's hand, preventing her from falling.
Wendy was relieved that Natsu caught her."Th-Thank you, Natsu-san…."
"No problem! Now then, to reach the top!" Natsu helped Wendy and himself to reach the top of the cliff.
When they reached the top…..
The top of the cliff was really vast, although there's nothing but trees around, and the furthest part of the top cannot be seen from Natsu and Wendy's current location. The ground was flat and grey colored. (The ground was not made from soil.)
"Now then, come! Dragon!" Natsu yelled loudly…
However, no response.
"Natsu-san, I don't think that the Dragon is here right now….." Wendy was disappointed.
"WHAT? No way!" I'll go look around." Natsu searhed around the cliff for the Dragon, and Wendy had no choice but to follow him…..
"Wendy! I found something interesting!" Natsu called Wendy who was not too far behind him.
Wendy then approached Natsu. "What is it, Natsu-san?"
"Here!" Natsu grabbed something, and shows it to Wendy…..It was a black colored egg! With an approximate size of 0.5 meter.
"An…Egg?" Wendy was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah! This must be the Dragon's egg!" Natsu was still energetic.
"Does that mean, the Dragon is away?" Wendy stated.
"Probably. Now, I'm sure that the Dragon is here. Let's just wait for the Dragon to show up!" Natsu lies on the ground.
Wendy nodded, and she waits for the Dragon along with Natsu.
At the bottom of the cliff…
A Man walked out from a dimension gate, before the gate closed by itself…
"So…..They're on the top of this cliff right now, huh?" The man grinned.
"Guess I'll just have to climb this thing!" The man was actually the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox!
In the hooded man's barrier….
The hooded man sat on a stone, grinning. "Maybe this will be done sooner than I expected….."
That's all for now! Well... It's shorter than the previous chapters because I'm quite busy with my studies...I apologize again about that. The next chapters will be back to the usual length, so don't worry about it! The next chapter won't be done in a while though, so...Please be patient.
