Gomen'nasai! I'm really, really sorry for not updating in so long! I got hit by exams, homework from my college along with Pre Final Exams, a messed up laptop and some TTK (Sorry!) which prevented me to work on the story! But after this chapter I will be back on schedule so expect chapters on Mondays! At least until Finals are over in three weeks.

I do not own Fairy Tail as it belongs to Hiro Mashima. There would be more Acnologia if I did own the franchise.

Zeto's POV…

"Hey Zeto can you explain the Generations? I heard that Sting and Rogue are Third Generation but I still don't understand…" Shiro asked from my right on the carriage as Raijin was on the roof of carriage snoring after he needed a place to nap. We're only a day away from reaching Crocus so we're still on time.

"Not a problem, we'll start with First Generation: First Gen are those who were taken in by Dragons then trained in said Dragon's element, Natsu is First Gen and was taught by Igneel the Fire Dragon King. Second Gen are those who weren't taught by Dragon but they implanted a Dragon Lacrima to gain Dragon Slaying Magic, they're known by others Gens as 'fake' Dragon Slayers. Third Gen is a combination of the First and Second Gen, meaning they were raised by a Dragon but they implanted themselves a Dragon Lacrima for a power boost, I'm personally not a fan Third Gen to be honest. Finally, the rarest ones of them all would be Fourth Gen, they are Slayers that are born and raised by Dragon Slayer parents." I finished the explanation with a breath and both passengers with the exception of Raijin were paying close attention. Well none more than Shiro.

"Okay I get it now!" She said with her excited voice. I chuckled as I went back to watching the surrounding forest for threats. I knocked on the carriage hard enough to wake Raijin up and gestured him to continue scouting. He nodded as he jumped off the carriage and went for the tree line. The girls knew why Raijin ran off and continued talking about their excitement for the party. Another thirty minutes went by when we passed the tree line into a valley with the city of Crocus just over the horizon. The girls were ecstatic that we were almost there and so was I but then the wind blew into our direction along with the god awful scents of multiple unknown people. I brought the carriage to a stop which made the girls stop talking as they looked at me worriedly. I could tell from the scents that they were bandits and were coming towards us, once I knew they were coming to us, I called the girls to get behind the carriage and they did quickly and quietly too.

"Well look what we have here boys! We got a boy all by himself!" He started laughing while the rest of them showed up behind him also laughing. Ugh just when we were almost there and I have to deal with these idiots.

"Alright guys, how about you guys leave before things get ugly? I'm really not in the mood for this." I warned with a bored tone while I counted their number which revealed that there were thirty of them, sadly they laughed and ran at me with a mix of swords, daggers, hammers etc. I sighed as I dashed towards them, at a blinding pace as I struck the first one in the gut which sent him flying into a couple of his buddies. Before anyone else could react, I grabbed one by the face, slammed him into the ground then kicked him away. The others finally noticing how dangerous I am then gotten serious and rushed me all at once all of them screaming and I just smirked as I started inhaling air.

"Black Dragon's Roar!"

The attack sent ten of them sprawling to the ground while the rest dodged it and closed in. I immediately went into a defensive stance and started to either block, dodge, redirect and attack when an opening appeared. During the fight I sensed strong magic signatures getting closer to our location so when I got the chance I got out of the scuffle and shot a magic flare into the air to alert Gajeel and Raijin that we got trouble. I counted again to confirm that there was only fifteen left all clustered together and I gave them a smirk as I used my magic to jump high in the air and sent more magic to my right hand then let gravity do its job and punched the ground.

"Black Dragon's Pillar!"

A large magical explosion appeared which sent all the bandits flying to all directions and unconscious. I looked to the side to see the girls watching me with awed expressions. I gestured them to stay down as I turned to see two figures walking towards me. When they got closer I could tell that one is male probably my height or shorter and the other one is female definitely shorter than me. The man was wearing white robes with his torso visible, wearing black pants and sandals. Along with that he had what appeared to be a katana that had a red glow to it. The girl was blonde with long pigtails that reach her waist along with wearing orange tank top and black pants of sorts. But what got my attention were the sharp, cold blue eyes that felt like they were calculating my every fiber of my being.

"I believe you just beat our guys? You're going to regret that." The man calmly said with annoyance as I gave them an impassive look. All I did was sigh then proceeded to flare my magic to its fullest to make them back off and scram. Sadly, it didn't work as girl merely narrowed her eyes while the man was covered in flames. I got myself in a stance as I waited for them to make the first move.

Immediately the man disappeared in a blink, I sensed his presence behind me which gave me time to dodge his sword from slashing into me. I rolled then quickly inhaled and aimed at him.

"Black Dragon's Ro-"

I fell to the ground as I felt massive amounts of pressure right on top of me. I looked up to see the girl smirking while having her right hand stretched out. I looked to see the man running towards me to finish me off, luckily when he was close I felt the pressure disappear and in that instant I rolled just as he stabbed the ground I was laying on. I got up then rushed forward to punch him as a distraction. He moved to slash me around my torso but I slid on the ground then punched him under his chin sending him flying. I quickly ignored him and rushed at the girl with a magic infused fist.

"Gravity: Rise…"

The moment she uttered those words I felt the same pressure on me again sending me face first into the dirt. I looked up to see her smirking like before with her hand stretched out, she looked up behind me then let her hand fall and I felt the pressure disappear again and I felt the same presence behind me. So that's how it works…

I jumped up then sent some of my magic to my hands to increase their durability as I stopped the sword from cutting into me. I tried to break the sword or at least bend it but the damn was quite durable. I locked eyes with the man's own and he just smirked then pushed the sword back towards me which broke my defense. I dodged his sword again and again and again but eventually I was getting tired. I've been on the defensive since the fight began; every time I'd try to use a spell the girl would use her Gravity magic on me to throw me around and give her partner a chance to attack.

"Elemental Blade Style: Blazing Edge!"

This time my movement faltered and I was hit by the attack completely and was sent flying. I felt so much pain on my abdomen along with the feeling of being burned around it too. I got to a knee then looked up to see the swordsman walk up to me with his blade dragging along the ground while it was on fire. Damn I can't move!

"Thanks for the workout Dragon Slayer…" The swordsman stated then put himself in an execution stance and swung down to decapitate me. I closed my eyes bracing for the blade but all I heard was metal 'cling' noise. I looked up to see Gajeel with his Iron Sword arm blocking the blade with a smile and his trademark gee hee laugh.

"Oi, Zeto these guys giving you trouble? They don't seem tough." He said with a cocky tone. I got up on a knee and muttered a reply to warn him.

"The man's sword is elemental while the girl uses Gravity Magic. She only uses it when the man is not in range of the zone she chooses." I said with a tired tone then mustered some energy to jump away to rest and let Gajeel take a shot at them. I saw the woman looked annoyed before she raised her hand out to use her magic until a bolt of lightning hit her from the side sending her sprawling. I looked to see Raijin getting in a fighting stance while glaring at the Gravity Mage with his lightning crackling all around him. I sighed appreciatively as I put myself on a knee to rest, letting my teammates handle the rogue mages.

Raijin's POV…

Once I saw the flare, I ran towards it and along the way I met up with Gajeel with the same objective as mine. When we got close to the clearing where the flare came from, we came across unconscious bandits sprawled all over the place. I saw Gajeel rush already to help Zeto while I sent a bolt of lightning at the female rogue mage to get her attention. Once it worked I got myself in a fighting stance and waited for her to make a move until I saw her stretch out her arm towards me leaving me confused.

"Raijin! She uses Gravity Magic! Move!" I heard Zeto yell out the warning but before I could react I fell to the ground face first from massive amounts of weight. I looked to see the girl with a satisfied smirk on her face then she sent more magic to increase the pressure which felt like someone dropped two more pianos on me but luckily a flying man landed on top of her breaking her concentration. I got up looking to my left to see Gajeel brushing off imaginary dust. Both mages got up with anger on their faces as they both charged at us, but I was already prepared and started charging my magic.

"Lightning Shock!"

I sent the orb of lightning at the girl to distract her so she doesn't use her magic on either of us while Gajeel handled the swordsman. The orb unsurprisingly missed but gave me the opening to rush with another attack.

"Lightning Knee!"

This time I hit her right in the abdomen which the strength of the knee along with my magic sent her flying then landing on her back with a surprising instant knock out.

"Huh I guess she's the weak link?" I said to myself as I went to help Gajeel but I only took two steps until I got a bad feeling. I turned to see the girl already standing with an angry look on her face as I felt her magic flaring.

"I am not the weak link! Gravity Push!"

She screamed while sending both her palms forward then I felt like I was hit by a train while also being sent flying. I quickly recovered then sent magic to my hands as I charged up another spell.

"Lightning Shock!"

The orb flew towards her but she merely deflected it with a back hand and dashed towards me with me doing the same. We started to trade blow after blow with neither one of us gaining ground. During the fight I had to avoid being touched by her after realizing that each of her hands are charged with her Gravity Magic, which after touching me once I felt like I got hit by a sledgehammer. After a couple minutes I saw an opening in her defense so I decided to take it and sent some magic to my left hand.

"Lightning Palm!"

I maneuvered her right hand to miss me then quickly moved behind her then placed my hand on her back which sent a powerful shock to her that paralyzed her. I then sent magic all over my body then went on the offensive.

"Lightning Ram!"

I head-butted her then punched her right in the jaw with a lightning infused fist that sent her screaming in pain and sprawling unto the floor this time unconscious. I sighed tiredly then started making my way to the others. What a day…

Gajeel's POV…

"Elemental Blade Style: Steel Edge!"

"Iron Dragon's Sword!"

Both swords clashed for the unknown time during the fight with neither side losing ground. Eventually I decided to head-butt him to break the sword lock, when it worked I thrust the sword arm to him but he barely moves out of the way and jumps back while I'm already inhaling air to my lungs.

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

The iron shard filled tornado hit him dead on as he couldn't react fast enough causing a grunt of pain. When the dust cleared he got up while breathing hard but he immediately got into a fighting stance and waited for me to make the first move, which I did as I rushed him with my sword arm again. But this time he parried the sword-arm and slashed me, luckily the Iron Scales were active and blocked most of the damage but it still hurt. I grimaced but fought on for another full minute with both of us getting a cut in but I lost any form of advantage when I learned a crucial fact of his sword. He can merge two elements at once!

"Elemental Blade Style: Blazing Steel Edge!"

The sword slashed into my right side which at first all I felt was the cut until a second later I felt like someone got a blow torch and used it on my wound. I fell to the ground clutching my side thinking if I held it would hurt less but it wasn't. I couldn't even move as the rogue mage walked up to me then proceeded to stab me. Well it would've happened if it weren't for a lightning infused fist hitting the man in the jaw and sending him flying ten feet.

"Oi, Gajeel you alright? You look like shit." Before I could reply, I felt two sources of magic flare up, we both looked to see both mages standing. The woman raised both her hands with a feral face.

"Gravity: Infinite Rise…

We both hit the ground from the amounts of pressure that hit us both as it felt like someone dropped a bunch of trains on us. A second later I felt my rib cage start to bruise from the amount of pressure; any normal person would've been utterly crushed into paste.

"I recognize their guild marks, they're Fairies! All the stories of them being powerful and unbeatable? What a joke!" The girl started laughing while applying more magic into the spell and increasing the gravity on us. I grit my teeth in both anger and pain from both the pressure and her insult of Fairy Tail.

"I'm going to crush your bones and organs and then I'll send what's left back to your garbage guild! Then I'll, what's so funny!?" The girl stopped laughing as all I turned to Raijin as he was laughing with a grimace from the pain.

"I'm laughing because you assume I'm a member of Fairy Tail and because you forgot something." He said with a smile as he turned to me with a knowing look and that's when it hit me! Gee hee…

"Oh yeah what did we forget!?"

"Black Dragon's Brilliant Destruction!"

A large black and blue ball of magic fell from the sky then landing on both the rogue mages causing an explosion that mixed with the screams of pain. When the dust cleared, both mages were in a large crater unconscious and barely breathing. I got up then walked over to Zeto who was checking on the clients who been hiding the entire time. When he turned to my direction I nodded in appreciation and started walking towards the rogue mages to place a beacon for any nearby Rune Knights to come arrest them along with the bandits. Everyone got on the carriage with the exception of me because I refuse to get on that death trap!

Crocus, Zeto's POV…

"Well we made it on time even with the craziness that happened back there with the bandits and dark mages." I said with my tired tone as we had to go overtime in order to make it a bit early.

"Once again I thank you for getting us here and protecting us from those bandits! I don't what would've happen if you and your team weren't here." Yuki said cheerfully with pure honesty while Shiro quickly nodded with agreement as we walked through Crocus to the mansion I'm supposed to take them to as both Gajeel and Raijin went to find an inn.

"Well we're here!" I yelled as we reached the mansion and knocked on the door. A few seconds later a maid opened the door and quickly recognized the girls then moved aside to let us in. I waited in the lobby or whatever this room was for a good five minutes until Yuki came down the stairs with a grin that unsettled me.

"So as you can see, you upheld your side of the job and now I must do my side of it." She said with a cheery tone that almost sounds fake as I narrowed my eyes at her when I noticed that she's empty handed.

"However, I will not pay you unless you stay for the party!" She said with cheerful expression as I slapped a palm on my face.

"What?" I asked dubiously.

"You saved us from bandits and got us here early, we want to reward you with the party and making you a guest of honor!" She yelled excitedly that I had to blink to understand what was happening until it clicked. Hell to the no!

"I'm sorry but I will have to decline, I'm not a fan of parties." I lied with a sheepish expression. She merely smiled back.

"Sorry Zeto, you don't have a choice! I'm the one who pays you remember?" She replied back with the same expression as before. I heavily sighed.

"Alright, I accept... your invitation…" I said with a grimace as she cheered loudly then grabbed my hand and dragged me deeper into the mansion.

A few hours later…

"What do you mean you left Crocus!?" I yelled into the communications lacrima as I heard unsavory news from Gajeel.

"I'm not staying for a party that is with filled with rich people ya hear?! I took the first train out of there! Besides I'm cashing in the reward for the band—"He was interrupted by his own vomiting as I shut the lacrima off. Can't believe I'm stuck here for a few hours and Gajeel the bastard ditched me! When I come back to Fairy Tail, oh there will be hell to pay! For now though I should enjoy the party and mingle with the nobles. Who knows might find something interesting.

I walked around in my usual attire to show that I'm not a noble and that I'm a mage. Luckily most of the nobles were friendly and would thank me profusely on protecting the girls and I would reply modestly every time that it was a group effort from my team. I took a glass of punch then periodically take a sip of the strawberry flavored drink. Out of nowhere, I felt a hand grab mine and started to drag me. I looked down to see the younger white haired girl that is Shiro.

"Hey Zeto come with me! My friends want to meet you!" She said excitedly as she dragged me towards another room that was filled with kids of all age along with teenagers and young adults my age.

"Hey everybody this is Zeto the Black Dragon Slayer! He and his team got us here and along the way he took on fifty bandits by himself!" She introduced me excitedly and everyone cheered and praised me like everyone else.

"Thank you but it was a team effort!" I replied the same as before. I was there for a couple hours talking with them, answering their questions with altered answers depending on their questions. Yuki came in the room with a small box and gestured me outside. I said my goodbyes then went outside the mansion with Yuki.

"Here's your payment Zeto and thank you for your services. Rest assured Fairy Tail will be contacted again when needed and we might ask for you specifically in the future!" She said with a happy tone with a matching expression while handing the box to me. I opened it up to see the appropriate amount of jewels.

"Thank you for your kindness and the party, I guess. Goodnight and I hope we meet again." I said awkwardly then walked off to the train station to go back home. And to punish a certain Iron Dragon Slayer…

The next morning, Magnolia…

"Yo! I'm back!" I yelled to everyone when I came in the guild.

"Welcome back!" Everyone replied back while raising their fists or mugs with smiles. I walked over to the bar for breakfast when I saw a sight I never thought I would see.

"Come on Mira! Why don't you go out with me?" Raijin whined.

"I'm sorry Raijin but I must decline the offer, I'm simply too busy to go out or be in a relationship." Mira softly declined with a soft smile to lessen the blow while Raijin let his head down dejectedly.

"Well, if it isn't Raijin, what are you doing here?" I said curiously although I heard the conversation so I have an idea.

"I was trying to ask Mira out but she declined, ugh I need a beer." He said while grabbing the offered beer and went to Cana's spot to drink with her. I looked back at Mira's smiling face.

"Well that was a thing, so Mira what I miss? Any new gossip?" Over the time I've been here, I would talk with Mira and she'd always have the latest gossip to make me laugh.

"Hm, well Natsu tried to fight Laxus but Laxus simply one shot him like before. As you can see I met Raijin but he had this bag on him that a lot of wallets." She showed me the bag and behold it was full of wallets with a lot of jewels in each one. I narrowed my eyes to the side to see Raijin drinking with Cana. Great his kleptomaniac tendencies came up at the party yesterday, no wonder I didn't see him.

"I'll have a talk with him later, for now though what el—" I was interrupted when the door opened up and a familiar loud voice vibrated throughout the guild.

"ZETO! MY BRO WHAT'S UP!?"

Done… Who is the newcomer? How does he know Zeto? Will Zeto ever listen to the rest of his gossip? Find out next time on Fairy Tail's Black Dragon! Once again I'm sorry for the tremendous late update! I felt terribly bad and worked overtime during the weekend to get this done. This was supposed to be posted on Monday but I fell asleep on the floor from exhaustion. Next chapter for sure will be the coming Monday! So please follow, review, favorite or PM me!

P.S. Do not post rude comments in your reviews as they will be removed, I understand that some of you were upset at this late update but I had a valid excuse and I will choose my education and work over writing any day. Don't get me wrong I love writing but there are priorities.
