Hey guys Prime here along with another chapter of Fairy Tail's Black Dragon and it's early because I was in a good mood after I finished it! So thanks to everyone who reviewed and enjoyed the past two chapters! Also to the guest who told me to make the story as long as possible, I will try my absolute best to do this! I'm glad for those who like or love my story! Said guest also told me about Zeto having a split personality, this won't happen. Zeto is mentally stable and not a murderous cold blooded mage. If this came out like I was being rude I apologize as it was not intentional! So yeah that's it so let's get on with the story!
Also I forgot to add but I do not own Fairy Tail!
Magnolia, East Forest, Wendy's POV…
After Zeto beat the Shadow God Slayer, the three of us along with Lucy took Zeto and started running towards Porlyusica's home in the forest while Gray with the Exceeds turn in the Dark Guild to the authorities as well as inform the Mayor the job is done and such. Zeto been in and out of consciousness since he ate those shadows with every time he was conscious he would groan in pain. After a ten minute trek we came across her house as just as Zeto lost consciousness again. While Natsu and Gajeel were holding up Zeto I went up the staircase in front of the group to knock on her door timidly. It's not that I don't like the woman but she is scary for her dislike against humans, although she's one herself though? A minute later she appeared with an angry scowl with her trademark broom already in hand.
"What do you want!? Did that idiot master of yours lose his magic again!?" She yelled and was getting ready to hit me with it until she noticed the other group behind me and before she could retort her eyes widened when she saw Zeto.
"My god… Zeto!? Get him inside now!" She uncharacteristically yelled in actual fear and the strange part was she knew him!? Natsu and Gajeel were shocked at first by her tone and personality change but they quickly recovered as they got him inside and placed him on the bed. Once they gently placed him on the bed Porlyusica pushed us out of the way and went over to Zeto's side as she looked him over then sighed tiredly like she was calming down.
"Alright, now you brats what did he eat? And don't you dare tell me what he ate for lunch!" She said angrily but with a worried tone. Before I could say anything Natsu stepped up.
"He ate shadows from a God Slayer's Secret Art that would've killed us if he didn't block it." Natsu said with a serious tone. She visibly relaxed as she went to a cabinet and pulled out a black bottle and went back to his side.
"That sure sound like him, always do things recklessly. You there Marvell I need you to use your healing magic on him to wake him up so I could use the medicine." She ordered me with a polite tone which again surprised me. Once I started healing him with my magic Zeto started to wake up with a groan as Porlyusica gave him the medicine and immediately he looked better like he was never sick or was in pain.
"Ugh, hey Porlyusica how you been?" He asked tiredly with his eyes closed.
"I've been fine, son although you should've visited me more often. I mean the last time I saw you was ten years ago!" She said with a friendly tone.
"Um so what's going on here?" Lucy asked dumbfounded while I asked my question.
"Is he going to be okay?"
"He'll be fine all he needs is a little bit of rest as for the other question, I'm his Godmother and I want you four out of my house now because I need to talk to him in private." She said with usual bitter tone.
"What!? You're his Godson!?" Natsu comically yelled and Porlyusica pulled out her Broom of Death out of nowhere and chased us out. At least he's going to be fine. For now I need to get the reward and give his cut later then talk to Master about this. Maybe Zeto will join Fairy Tail?
Zeto's POV…
"Thanks, Porlyusica and I'm sorry. I've not been a good Godson to you. I should've visited." I said with remorse. She's always been there for me to help me when my training got out of hand and always patched me up as well as visited quite often when my father allowed it.
"Don't worry about it as you had your reasons with your father disappearing and all. But what matters is you're here after eating shadows! From a God Slayer no less! You know that's dangerous!" She yelled in worry trying to scold me.
"It was either I let them die or save them, you can guess what I chose since I'm here in your care." I said with a serious tone to make her understand my actions which worked. She backed off and exhaled as she went to a chest then proceeded to open it revealing a large file.
"This is a file that your father gave me when he left you on your own. He didn't tell me what it was about but he said it was for your eyes only. I'll take a step outside to give you privacy Zeto." She said while giving me the folder with a reassuring smile as she walked out. Once she closed the door I opened the file and the first thing I saw was recorder lacrima. I sent a little magic into the lacrima and it lit up giving out a voice that I haven't heard in years.
"Zeto, if you're hearing this then you must be eighteen or older by now and found Porlyusica. First off, I'm sorry for leaving you without a word but believe me it's for the best. Secondly, I'm proud of you for getting this far but now you must learn things about yourself. Have you ever wondered why your magic is so weak? Why you run out of magic quicker than normal? The answer is that you have five seals that have locked your magic. When you were born you had too much magic that would've killed you if your mother hadn't placed those seals and even when you got older you would've been destroyed down to the last atom if your mother removed the seals all at once. Your mother died placing those seals on you to make sure that in a sense you've earned the right to those powers. In those files are the list of your seals but they don't explain how to break them so you'll have to go on a whim and figure it out. That is all I can tell you. My son, please continue to grow and live your life to the fullest."
The lacrima's light finally dimmed then died as the recording finished along with the sole tear that fell. So it explains why my magic never progressed to that of a true Dragon Slayer but still doesn't explain why he left and what does he mean 'it's for the best?' Placing the question along with the lacrima to the side I opened the scroll and read the list of my seals.
Seal of Anger
Seal of Vengeance
Seal of Hope
Seal of Forgiveness
Seal of Redemption
These were the seals that each had a name that must fit the requirement. I read the names and figured to deal with them another time. I got the files together as they had more information to look at and requiped them as I went outside and saw Porlyusica outside sweeping and when she saw me she gave me that usual paternal smile.
"Thank you for giving me the folder as it answered some questions. I'm going to go back to Magnolia to pick up my cut and I'll swing on by to catch up properly." I said with a smile as I started my walk out of the forest with her waving at me. Luckily, the others' scents are still fresh so I just followed it out. Along the way I've kept thinking about the message left for me. So my mother placed seals on me, to protect me from myself huh?
A good twenty minutes later I finally reached Magnolia around 5:30 so I still had time to stop by Fairy Tail to pick up my cut from the job. After walking through the town for another ten minutes, I reached the guildhall's front door. Already I could hear the guild's members brawling with things being thrown all over the place and such. Once I opened the door, I ducked to dodge an incoming chair thrown at my head by accident. I continued through the chaos hoping to find the blue haired Dragon Slayer when I found her at the bar with the same short man who I have to assume is the guild master and as I got closer they both looked at my direction. Wendy with a relieved smile on her and the old man with a calculating look as he's waiting to see what happens.
"Yo Wendy thanks for getting me to Porlyusica! I don't know what would've happen if you guys didn't get there in time." I said with a sheepish expression.
"It's nothing after all you saved us from that attack, which reminds me how could you do that?" She asked as she tilted her head.
"Before you answer her question, I would like to thank you for going with Wendy on this job and saving her, Natsu as well as Gajeel. If it's in my power, I'll grant you anything." The old man said with seriousness in his voice.
"I don't want anything but my cut from Wendy but thank you for the offer and to answer your question Wendy I can eat shadows, poison and death magic but all of them are toxic for me so even though I get a boost I have a chance of dying if I wasn't brought to Porlyusica as she has the medicine." I said with a friendly tone as I looked behind me to see the chaos.
"Is it always like this?" I asked while pointing behind me. The old man started chuckling along with Wendy giggling.
"Yes, it's always like this but this a part that makes Fairy Tail a family. Each member here looks at each other as their own family even if they squabble like this. One member's sadness is everyone's sadness as well. We help each other to grow and become stronger so we can better ourselves." I listened to his entire speech and I actually felt attached to it. Family huh?
"Hmm I see, Wendy do you have my cut? It's getting dark out." I said with the same friendly tone as before. She nodded and gave me the pouch that had my cut. Once I checked it was the correct amount I turned to leave when suddenly Natsu appeared right in front of me. That is when I noticed that the brawling finished and it was deathly quiet that a pin could drop and cause an echo.
"Why you leaving?" He asked with actual confusion.
"My business here is done so I'm leaving. Why do you want another fight because I'm way too tired for one right now." I said with a sigh but was surprised as he gave me a toothy grin.
"What no! We should party to thank you for saving our butts! If it weren't for you we wouldn't be here! Come on stick around for your own party!" He yelled with the same grin as before. I looked around to see everyone with an expectant look. I sighed as I smiled and nodded which resulted in everyone cheering. Everyone started partying, drinking and laughing and surprisingly I felt comfortable like this was home. I spent the majority of the party with Makarov the guild master, Natsu and surprisingly I learned that I could hold my liquor when I out drank Cana, the alcoholic. I also hung around Wendy as well every now and then.
Finally after a few hours of partying I started going back to the inn that I went to when I first arrived with a content smile on my face. On the way there I started doing some serious thinking about Fairy Tail. They treat each other like family than just coworkers. Along with that they seem to party just for anything. I've never felt this comfortable in a single place before until I came here to Magnolia. Should I join?
My thoughts however were quickly dashed aside when I felt a familiar presence behind me. I turned my behind to see a woman that was 4'1 in a dark cloak that would make anyone suspicious and I could see her eyes were the same green mischievous eyes.
"What do you want Eto?" I asked with scowl as I prepared my magic just in case. All she did was lower her hood that revealed her messy long green hair and her pouting face.
"Aww come one Zeeeto why do you do have to be so rude? I come visit my big brother and all you do is give me a scowl and prepare your magic!" She said with the same pout. God I hate when she says my name with that singing tone of hers.
"I will ask one more time, what do you want?" I repeated as I emphasized on the last words. My magic came to the point that it flared in my arms appearing like black and blue lightning. Surprisingly she flared her magic with that same cheerful smile, her magic flare was black in color with some red lightning crackling all around her and it has a stronger feel to it.
"I wouldn't bare your fangs at me Zeeeto; I'm a lot stronger than I was three years ago and unlike you I don't care if the town along with its residents get caught in the cross fire." She said with the same cheerful voice from before along with same smile while giggling most likely thinking of the destruction we'd cause. Knowing she was right, I stopped flaring my magic with Eto doing the same.
"Now, since I like my big brother so much I'll tell you why I'm here!" Eto said while disappearing from thin air to appear on the bench to my left sitting down while gesturing do the same. I refused and just stared at her waiting for to continue.
"Alright fine, since you're going to be like that. Cinder and Rayo have become Third Generation Dragon Slayers just a couple of days ago." She said with the same cheerful tone while swinging her legs in and out from the bench.
"So they took a shortcut to become stronger? Tch, pathetic." I said with a scowl as I looked towards the moon remembering those two hot heads.
"Well then again I don't know if I should call them Third Generation maybe Fifth Generation? Meh, we'll find out later or maybe we won't?" She said with a tone of sadness in her cheerful voice. I looked towards her face to see a sad expression which was rare in the 18 year old Dragon Slayer.
"Should I be worried about them then? And what do you mean Fifth Generation?" I asked before I went to the next subject.
"I don't know if they're still angry but we both know how they are but they have matured a bit. As for the second question, they've each implanted two Dragon Lacrimas inside of each other so that's why they are currently in a coma for the past three days. I've never seen those two in so much pain; I thought they would die from shock." She said with a more depressed tone. I sighed before I continued.
"I'm not going back Eto, besides it's their decision to go through with that. Although I'm in shock that you care so much about them dying considering that you thrive on death." I said with a mocking tone.
"You know if you're going to be like that, then maybe I should 'thrive' on your corpse!" She yelled with an angry tone as she stood up flaring her magic at the same time. I knew what she was trying to do so I didn't even flinch. Now that I think about it, nothing these days make me even flinch. Thank you father for giving me something to compare things with.
"You may calm down Eto, you may be stronger than me but killing me won't do you any favors. Besides, didn't you just tell me you wouldn't care if the town was destroyed if we fought?" I said with a calm voice knowing she'll calm down. After a few seconds her magic stopped flaring and she sat down with a depressed expression.
"Although the guild is like my family, it feels awfully lonely there without you there Zeto." She said with a longing tone mixed with her depressed one.
"Then leave, nothing is holding you there; after all you are basically their strongest member there if not stronger than Aku—"
"He's gotten stronger as well, way stronger than master. Maybe just as strong as a Wizard Saint. Plus, I just can't leave them like you can; I've been there since I was eight while you only joined four years ago then left after the Sky Incident." She said with a calmer voice but you can tell she's still depressed.
"I understand and you're right but I won't come back. Now I have to go, so take care of yourself Eto." I said while turning to walk away but in an instant I felt arms around my waist, I turned around to see Eto hugging me.
"At least give me a hug before you go; after all I haven't seen you in three years and I came to tell you how things been going." I turned around and gave her the hug she asked as I sighed.
"Knowing you Eto, you'll come visit me again so I'll see you soon." I said as I let go and started walking away. I turned to see her smiling at me like before then just disappeared again. I've kept walking with a sigh. What a day.
The next day…
I was on my way to Fairy Tail to sign up after doing some thinking. Although it seems like a good idea and could help me in the long run I was still worried about what Eto said about Cinder and Rayo becoming Third Generation Slayers. Even if they implanted two Dragon Lacrimas they're still Third Generation Slayers to me. Then again because of my actions they felt like this was their only option to get stronger.
My thoughts were broken when I felt someone grab my wallet and take off with it. I turned to see a black haired shirtless young man probably my age with torn cargo pants and skate boarding shoes.
"Hey what the hell it's empty? Who walks around with an empty wallet?" He said with frustration in his voice.
"Someone who can use basic requip magic and is smart about thieves." I answered with a scowl and gesturing for my wallet back. He gave me back my wallet as turned to leave when I noticed he's trying to get by so I decided to do him a favor.
"Hey how about I take you somewhere to eat as it seems you haven't had a good meal in some time. Come one it's on me and you don't have to pay me back." I said with an honest tone. He seemed to be thinking about it and nodded so I led him towards a nearby diner.
"So what's your name?" I asked while taking a sip from my water as my 'companion' is wolfing down all the food.
"The name is Raijin. Yours?" He replied while chewing his food.
"Zeto." I replied back with my usual tone. Suddenly Raijin stopped eating and looked at me with a serious expression.
"Why are you doing this? After all I did try to rob you." He asked me.
"Because I know how it is to survive when you're on your own. Although I didn't steal to survive." I finished with a slight mocking tone.
"Well how did you survive then?" He asked with a curious tone.
"I trained, fought, did jobs, joined an all Dragon Slayer Guild, and left after a year and now I'm here." I said all in one go while Raijin just nodded as he understood. The rest of the time was silent as we both went our separate ways. I proceeded to walk towards the East Forest to talk to Porlyusica as I promised I would. After walking for thirty minutes I reached her home in a tree and walked up to her to knock. After a few seconds she opened the door with a scowl and then with a small smile.
"Welcome back Zeto, what you need?" She said with a caring tired tone.
"I came here to talk but I was wondering if you could tell me about my mother? Whenever I asked father he would either change the subject or tell me very little." I asked genuinely curious.
"Ah but of course, I don't mind. Well to start off your mother's name if you didn't know it already was Hikari Nakahara a Light Dragon Slayer and an S-Class Mage from Fairy Tail. She was beautiful with long black hair and soft grey eyes. You have your mother's eyes actually but with your father's sharpness to them." She said with a remembering tone and expression.
"I see, and what my father has a human form? I've never seen it." I asked.
"Yes he does, you look like him sort of." She said with the same tone and expression as I gestured her to continue.
"Back to subject, your mother was extremely kind to everyone and would always help everyone out one way or the other. Along with that she was quite powerful to the point she could beat Gildarts if she wanted to. But she was slightly reckless so every time she gotten hurt she would come to me and we became excellent friends to the point when you were born, she named me your Godmother. I was so honored." She said with calm face but with a tear falling down her face.
"And before you ask no I don't know how your mother met your father and became his mate. She wouldn't tell me but she was happy so I hadn't told the guild where she disappeared but told them she was leaving the guild for some time off. However, when your father came to me when she died, I had to go back to Fairy Tail and explain that she has passed away. The guild was so crushed that they couldn't move on until your father came to the guild and erased their memories of her saying that Hikari wouldn't them to be in despair." She said with a more noticeable depressed tone.
"Thank you Porlyusica for telling me this, although I'm quite surprised father hasn't told me anything about her." I said with sad confusion at my father's refusal to talk about my mother at all.
"If I had to guess, he's probably mourning and grief at her loss so he probably feels responsible for what happened and before you ask, I don't know how she died but according to your father she's buried on Tenrou Island but I'm not sure though as he was still grieving extremely." She answered with the sad tone. I nodded in understanding and quickly changed the subject.
I stayed with Porlyusica for another a couple hours catching up in both our adventures and Fairy Tail's antics. Eventually, I decided to call it a day as I went back to Magnolia to go to Fairy Tail to join and at least follow my mother in her footsteps as well as live up to father's expectations.
When I arrived at Fairy Tail it was close to getting to sundown but that didn't stop the brawling that I could hear from outside the door. Before I could open I heard a loud chilling voice from inside.
"STOP FIGHTING YOU IDIOTS! YOU JUST RUINED MY CAKE!" A loud female voice boomed and suddenly the fighting stopped then it grew extremely quiet. I chuckled as I pushed through the door and entered the spacious building. As I walked past some of the members would either nod or wave at me then go back to putting back the tables and chairs where they belong. As I continued down towards the bar where Makarov was drinking and with Mirajane behind the bar cleaning some glasses. Once I got close Makarov noticed my presence as he raised an eyebrow as he finished his drink. I looked around to see everyone watching especially the other Dragon Slayers including a blue haired Sky Dragon Slayer with unreadable expression.
"Hello, Zeto how can I help you?" He asked curiously while looking at me like he's trying to figure something out.
"I would like to join Fairy Tail." I asked with a smile and utmost politeness. Unsurprisingly he smiled like how a grandfather would at his grandchildren when he's proud.
"Yes you may, Zeto!" He exclaimed with a smile with everyone in the building cheering. I smiled as I looked around with everyone still cheering and screaming.
"Where would you like your guild mark and what color would it be?" He asked while holding a magic stamp in his right hand. I proceeded to lower my coat a bit to reveal my right shoulder.
"Right shoulder with the color black and with gold as the outline." I stated as Makarov or now Master Makarov nodded as he placed the stamp on my shoulder and felt the magic tingling of the mark appearing. As he removed the stamp I could see it was black with gold outline just like I asked and with that I turned around to show my guild mark to everyone to see and they cheered even louder if it were possible. I just continued to smile as everyone started partying again just like last time but with more happiness.
This is truly home…
Hey that's a wrap on the third chapter of FTBD or BDF! I would like to thank a good friend of mine for his OC Raijin! Also anyone liked Eto from Tokyo Ghoul? I like the series except for Root A and Re. I tried extremely hard to keep the OC in character but decided to tone her down because her true personality too sadistic for this, even though she's like on my top liked characters! Rest assured this is not a crossover I just borrowed a character from another franchise (actually 3 so try to figure it out! Their names are in this chapter so PM me when you get the franchises that these characters belong to. It's a contest!). And yes Acnologia is slightly OOC but not much only that he's a more caring father in his own way. If you have any questions ask me right away! So you guys know the drill so review, follow, favorite, PM, take over Fiore (wait what!?).
