(Sorry about the mistake)
Chapter 5 Start
Shen had disappeared for two days now, and some of the guild expected that he had left town, despite what Makarov told him.
"Looks as though Shen still couldn't trust humans enough to stay here." Makarov muttered to Erza.
"It's to be expected." She responded back "He was betrayed twice and when he felt comfortable where he was. Even with us knowing about him, he was afraid. I can't blame him."
"Neither can I." Makarov admitted "Honestly I didn't expect him to stay."
The doors to the guild opened and Wendy ran in, soaking wet and a moment later Carla came in behind her.
"There wasn't any news of a storm today..." Carla muttered.
"No one can be right all the time." Wendy told her exceed as Mirajane came from behind the counter, handing them both a towel.
"Dry off or you may catch a cold." She said kindly, before resuming her duties.
"Thanks." Wendy said, drying her hair, before turning to Makarov and Erza "No sign of Shen?"
"No." Erza replied "No one has seen him since he left the guild two nights ago."
"I guess he really left then..." Wendy said.
"There's not much we could do." Erza told her "He couldn't trust us and we couldn't force him to stay."
"I know...but I was hoping he would at least give us a chance."
Natsu suddenly ran in from the rain "Is that bastard here today?!" Natsu shouted angrily.
"Shen isn't here Natsu." Makarov told him "He most likely decided to leave. Who knows where he is now."
"He left right after telling us his father was Igneel!" Natsu shouted in rage. As soon as Shen said that to the guild two nights ago, he took off in a run. Natsu ran after him, not wasn't able to locate him. He seemed to have disappeared. The rest of the guild started to arrive, noticing that Shen hadn't appeared yet. The guild started to get on with their daily routines, until Juiva had come back from a job she had been away on for a day.
"How did the job go?" Makarov asked her as soon as she walked in.
"The job was a success...but there is someone sitting on the roof of Fairy Tail..." A moment of silence went through the guild before Natsu, followed by the other members of the guild went outside, getting soaked almost instantly from the rain. As Juvia had said, there was a figure sitting on the very top of the building and they seemed in deep thought.
"Hey you bastard! You can't just sit on our guild!" Natsu shouted at the figure, who now slid down the wet roof and landed on their feet in front of the guild.
"Makarov." they said
"So it turned out I was wrong." Makarov said with a smile.
"Right for now." the figure said flipping his hood off, revealing that it was Shen"I have decided to trust Fairy Tail...for now. If there are any signs that you have betrayed me, Fairy Tail will be no more."
"Like you could!" Gajeel called out.
Shen turned to him "You don't think I am capable?"
"You expect me to believe you can defeat every member of Fairy Tail, including the master?"
Shen started to laugh a little "The power you saw in the town was merely a small portion of my power. You do not want to face the true power of a Dracian!"
"A Dracian?" Wendy asked.
"That's what I am called. Also another warning. If any of you call me anything along the lines of half-breed, you will regret it. I am either a Dracian, or Shen."
Gajeel chuckled "What if we don't call you by one of those names, half-breed." Shen's eyes went to him.
"Then like I said, you will regret it." Shen said as he appeared in front of Gajeel and punched him in the chest sending him flying back. Gajeel staggered as he got up and Shen didn't hesitate, unleashing a stream of fire at Gajeel and flowing that up with a flaming punch to his jaw, knocking him out instantly.
Shen turned to the guild and walked by them into the guild and as he walked by he said "Let that be an example for the rest of you." Shen walked into the guild and Natsu grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Were you lying about Igneel being your father." Natsu asked, completely serious. Shen shrugged his hand off.
"What reason would I have to lie about that? Igneel is my father. That is the truth."
"Then do you have any idea where-"
"I knew him until I was three, if anything I should be asking you questions. Then he left to protect us. Natsu, that's the reason I hate you. My father left to protect us, but then he takes you into his care and trains you in Dragon Slayer magic. You were with him longer then his own true born son was. Like I said before I hate you for what you are, The Fire Dragon Slayer."
"So you hate me for something I can't change?"
Shen thought for a moment "Yes."
Before the fighting could escalate Gray interrupted "Since you are staying in Fairy Tail, I want to ask you something. What are the full powers of a hyb-" Shen shot him a look "A Dracian." Gray quickly corrected.
"Are you asking what makes are the main differences between me and a human?"
"I guess you could phrase it that way." Shen walked and sat at a table "It's going to take a while to explain. Sit." Team Natsu did as he said.
"Once I tell you about this, you will understand why I did some things that I did." Shen said, taking a deep breath before he started to talk "Going by what I've figured out, Dracians look human in every way. Their magic and strength they get from their dragon parent. My fire magic is equal to Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, but I can use Dragonfire instead. Dragonfire has no equal. Natsu, your fire would never be able to get through my Dragonfire and you would never be able to consume it to restore your magic. That is my main magic."
"Dragonfire?" Natsu muttered "Like the fire Igneel could use?"
"Exactly. My next magic would be what you saw me use in town. That is my true magic and by far my most powerful. It transforms my body until it is dragon-like. Claws, teeth, talons, eyes, all of that changes along with growing wings. What you saw me do is not my full power either."
"What is your full power?" Erza asked "What would it do?"
"...I have only used it once, and even then I didn't do it on my own...since I was born I have been called to keep these." Shen took out three red balls from a pouch "these pills, once I eat three of them allow me to use my full powers. Transforming into a full dragon."
"Y-you can become a dragon?" Wendy asked surprised at the information.
"That sounds awesome!" Natsu said excitidy.
"You said you used it once...did you have more pills before?" Lucy asked.
"From the day I was born I had six. The only time I had no choice but to use my full power was the first time that group came at me with those weapons."
"You mean like the whip?"
"Yes. Whips are not the only weapon they have like that. Back to the point. Like Dragon slayers I have an enhanced sense of smell, but mine is far stronger. I can smell the type of weapon a person has even if they haven't drawn it yet, I can smell the blood in their veins, I can smell the magic power and sometimes I can smell the type of magic they use."
"You can smell their magic?" Gray asked "That could be very helpful."
"Hardly." Shen muttered "There are many types of magic that people use, and the smells of a magic I have not seen before are very difficult to determine. So it's not much use. Is there anything else to say?" Shen thought and then remembered something "Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that I also got my defence from my father."
"What do you mean?" Carla asked, speaking to Shen for the first time "Like your ability to block attacks?"
Shen smiled "Let me show you." He placed his hand on the table and drew his dagger with the other, then brought the point onto his hand, where it bounced off his skin "No human made weapon, except the ones that group has, can get through my skin. My body is almost as hard as dragon scales. It can block anything, even a diamond weapon. The only thing that can break through my skin is magic."
"You're lying!" Gray said suddenly "There's no way your body can be that strong."
Shen stood up "Want me to prove it?
"You know what, I do." Gray said with a smirk.
Shen laughed for a moment before he removed his tattered coat and pulled the collar of his shirt down, revealing a chain around his neck and partly under his shirt. He undid the chain and placed it on the table, revealing a dagger attached to it. He undid the chain so the knife fell free and he tossed it to Gray who removed the sheath.
"What does that look like to you?"
"A dagger..."
"I mean what it is made of."
"It looks a little like diamond, but red."
"Blood diamond. Harder then normal diamonds, if you want you can test it on your hand to see how sharp and durable it is., but you may lose a finger."
"That will not prove a thing." Shen sighed and took the blade and dropped it, blade first at the table and the dagger sunk, with no resistance, to the hilt "If I'm not mistaken, this is solid wood." Shen said and before he Gray could say anything he turned to Erza ""You know about swords. What can a sword be made out of to slide into wood that easily?"
"I've...never actually seen a blade do that."
Shen took the blade in hand "See what I am going through to prove you wrong, Gray?" Shen placed his hand on the table again and dropped the knife, blade first again and it hit his hand before, once again bouncing off, and once again the blade hit the table sliding in easily.
"Also before you ask this dagger is from my mother." He said before reattaching the chain and putting it in the sheath and back around his neck.
"All right..." Gray said "you beat me there..."
"Now let me continue. Another ability I have is much better healing capacity." Shen tore the bandage around his wrist, revealing there was now skin around his wrist again, and the Fairy Tail members stared in amazement and speechless "Wendy, you wanted to know why I wouldn't let you heal me?" He said turning to the young Dragon Slayer.
"I-Isn't it b-because of that healing a-ability?" She said suddenly shy.
"Not at all. If you had touched the blood that had been coming from either wound you would have second degree burns to deal with."
"W-Why?"
"My blood runs hot. My skin is always warm, meaning I can never be cold, and any enemy that wounds me is running the risk of being burned it has proved useful over time."
"How has it been useful if only magic can wound you?" Erza asked "It seems almost useless since most magic is ranged."
"Most of the time, but I have been the target of bandies and thieves that can't use magic and weak mages that can only hit their enemy with magic from close range."
"Is that all the surprises you have?" Lucy asked
"No. I forgot to mention I can make any part of my Dragon transformation appear at any time, like my wings, or claws, but only if I am enraged or have no other choice will I use them for combat. Now that's all I really know of my powers. Now if you will excuse me, I have something to take care of." Shen said as he stood and walked to the doors "Oh yeah, one last thing. Everything I have told you is at the level of my magic now. I have not mastered any part of my magic, but once I do each and every part I have mentioned will only get stronger." Shen left before anyone could ask him about it.
1 Week Later
Shen had not returned to the guild since he explained his powers. No one had any idea where he went, until a difficult job that had been on the board was noticed to be gone, which instantly explained Shen's disappearance. The guild continued their routine, despite Shen's disappearance, but a few of them became worried after a while.
"Do you think he ran into that group again?" Wendy asked Natsu.
"Even if he did, I'm sure he would have no problem." He responded.
"You seem to hate him a lot less then you did at first." Lucy pointed out.
"I know. Since he's revealed he's Igneel's son, I've found it hard to hate him."
"That's good." Wendy pointed out "If guild members fight they can't work well together."
"Even so" Gray started "He seems to take solo jobs mostly."
"That's because he's a man!" Elfman said, suddenly cutting into the conversation.
"...Where did you even come from?" Lucy asked.
"I don't care if he ever comes back." Gajeel said from across the guild, still bandaged up from Shen's attacks.
"It's your own fault for calling him a half-breed." Natsu said with a smirk.
"What was that? Are you picking a fight with me?" Gajeel said angry.
Natsu stood up "What if I am? You can't possibly fight in that condition."
"Oh yeah?" Gejeel shouted running at Natsu, causing them to start fighting, and rousing the whole guild into another one of their normal guild wide fights. The fight caused so much noise no one noticed the young girl walk into the front doors and stop as she saw the fight. Gajeel was suddenly thrown out of the main fight and landed in front of her. Gajeel got back up quickly.
"You fire breathing bastard!" He shouted running head on back into the battle.
"S-Sorry about this..." Wendy said sitting against one of the seats, away from the fight.
"I-it's fine..." The girl said. She had long brown hair, down to her mid back and cyan eyes.
"Do you need help if something?" Wendy asked, as her Exceed sat beside her.
"Yeah...I'm looking for someone and I heard they went to this guild."
"Who is it?"
Before the girl could answer a booming voice filled the guild "All of you shut up!" The voice was Makarov and the guild, started to obey, even Natsu "Can't you all see we have a visitor?" He said tone softening as all eyes went to the girl. Makarov went over to her.
"Can I help you?"
She nodded "Yes. I'm looking for someone that was said to go to this guild."
"What's the name of this person?"
"I...I don't know his last name...but his first name is Shen."
"Shen?" Makarov nodded "He recently joined our guild, but he's been on a job for about a week now and none of us know when he will be back. You are free to wait if you want."
She nodded, disappointed "All right...you sure he is still in the guild...he didn't leave or anything?"
"I promise you, he is still in the guild."
"Thank you. I will wait as long as needed then."
"Make yourself at home." Makarov said as he walked back towards the front counter "Hopefully our guild can hold off on fighting for now."
The girl sat down at the nearest table and Gajeel confronted her "Why do you want to see that idiot for?"
"Idiot?" She looked over Gajeel's body "Let me guess. You were no match for him?" She said with a mocking grin on her face.
"Trust me if we fought again I would kill him!"
Erza pushed him away "Sorry about his rudeness."
"It's okay."
"How do you know Shen?" She asked.
"I know him-" The doors opened normally and Shen walked in, his clothes it tatters once again, but no blood or cuts on him.
"Bandits and thieves...why do I always get the boring jobs." He noticed the guild was silent so he looked up and saw Erza, Gajeel's and the girl's eyes on him.
"Shen. You have a visitor." Erza called to him. Shen and the girl's eyes met for a moment before a flicker of recognition went through Shen's eyes and he took his steel dagger from his shredded jacket.
"What are you doing here?" He said in cold hard tone.
"It's been a while Shen." the girl said smiling standing up and taking a step towards him.
Shen rose his dagger "What are you doing here?!" Shen said angry.
She didn't another step and looked at him surprised "You've changed...I've come to see you."
"Come to see me, or kill me for what happened?"
"Shen...what is this about?" Erza asked.
"Shen, I'm over what-"
"You must know what I am by now. You are lying. You would not be over that in a matter of years. No matter your reason, either to see me or to kill me, you have wasted a trip. Leave me alone."
"Shen...You do know who I am, right?" She asked sadly
"I do. You are the daughter of one of the men that wanted me dead, and your name is Erica!"
