So, an update at last and it is not even part of the main story I would not be surprised if you guys just skip this chapter entirely. I wanted to include my OC Izo Tatsuo in on the Dragon Slayer kid fun but like I said this is not part of the main story so this does not complicate things. If you want to get to know this OC take a look at "Youngest Team Remastered"
Izo was not at the guild when the Dragon Slayer kids first arrived so when he came back to the guild hall after Tetsu and Nashi's little announcement he was more than a bit surprised to find out that he apparently had a child along with the rest of his fellow Dragon Slayers. Izo could not really bring himself to ask Nashi or Tetsu about his child but he was curious and found himself thinking about it quite often.
When Romeo and Wendy found their son, he was very happy for his friends and he was happy to have something new to mess with them about. Rowen actually seemed very attached to the young Ice Dragon Slayer when he was not with his parents, he was asking Izo to play with him and use his Ice Make Magic to make things like toys and simple rides. According to Nashi, Izo was often very protective of the children Rowen and his own child especially since they were the youngest.
"So, I turn into a helicopter parent? My worst nightmare" he jokes
Nashi lets out a chuckle "No it's not like that. You were like our protector. A lot of our parents fought on the front lines against Acnologia and his forces but you stayed back a lot the time. Having a Dragon Slayer stay with the guild to help defend the others was the Master's idea at the time and your magic was best for it since it was so versatile."
"Makes sense, I kind of like the idea of being a protector" he smiles a bit
"You know Uncle Izo you're- "
Before Nashi could finish what, she was about to say Izo felt someone tug at his arm. "Uncle Izo follow me, we're going on a job with mommy and daddy" Rowen says pulling at his hand.
"Okay kiddo I'm coming. Sorry Nashi let's pick this up again later" he says as the little boy kept on trying to pull him toward where he wanted to go in vain.
"See you later Uncle Izo"
Romeo, Wendy, Izo and Rowen all head out of the guild along with Carla. Little Rowen was holding both his parents' hands occasionally getting swung around by them. Izo could not help but watch the three of them from behind with a smile on his face. Even Carla had opted to be close to him letting the three have their moment together.
"It's kind of crazy how much they took to this whole being parents thing" Izo semi jokes to Carla
"So long as Romeo doesn't get any funny ideas from all this it's fine"
"We can hear you." Romeo says as he and Wendy both look back at the other two.
"We know" Izo and Carla both say together
"Daddy what does she mean by funny ideas? Do you know a joke, can I hear it?" Rowen asks innocently
"Uh" Romeo starts to blush "Maybe another time kiddo"
"Aw" Rowen pouts
The job they took was something very simple since Romeo and Wendy didn't want to take Rowen out to do anything too dangerous despite the fact the boy had just as much magic power as they did. The group was hired to help clean up the local park as it had been ransacked the night before. Rowen was surprisingly hard working for such a little boy.
"You're doing a great job kid when we're done how about I treat you to an ice cream" Izo says patting his head
"Really you mean it?"
"Sure, I've had a bit of a craving lately" Izo chuckles. He knew Romeo and Wendy had been looking after Rowen nonstop and he could tell they could use a break. "Gotta give your parents some time to recharge anyway' he jokes
Rowen did not really understand but he was happy that he would be getting a treat.
Romeo Wendy and Carla decide to meet Izo and Rowen back at the guild while the two of them go to get Rowen that treat after they had finished their job and gotten the pay. Izo had bought the little guy a jumbo scoop of chocolate ice cream that made him smile from ear to ear.
"Thank you" Rowen says jumping up and giving Izo a big hug that caught him off guard but still made him smile after a second.
"You're very welcome but you should try to finish it all before it melts"
The two sat down and ate their ice cream together Izo had just gotten a small ice cream so he was done quickly. After helping Rowen clean up when he was done the two headed back to the guild to meet back up with the others
As they approached the guild Izo felt something rather ominous he recognized the feeling of a rather dangerous aura but had no idea what it was about.
"Weird, I wonder what's going on" Izo kept Rowen from running to the guild wanting to be safe than sorry "Hang on Rowen something isn't right here"
Romeo suddenly comes running out of the guild panting when he sees Izo and Rowen he goes over rather quickly.
"Izo listen to me you gotta run fast and far"
"Romeo what are you talking about? Is everything okay are we under attack."
"No but listen you-"
"There you are you no good frozen lizard" Izo hears a furious scream as Romeo starts to slowly pull Rowen away.
The little boy did not know what was going on. "Daddy is uncle Izo in trouble?"
"Yes, Rowen yes he is" Romeo says rather solemnly as if his good friend was about to face death
Outside the entrance to the guild stood an absolutely enraged Sherry Blendy and she in fact looked ready to kill Izo where he stood.
It did not take Izo long to realize she was the source of his uneasy feeling from a few moments ago "Sherry what the-"
Suddenly the ground underneath his feet suddenly sprang up and turned into a massive rock doll that suspended him upside down by his ankles.
"Confess now, what did you do to my cousin you-"
"Before you finish that sentence there's a kid present" he says gesturing toward Rowen who was now standing aside being somewhat shielded by Romeo.
"That better not be another one of yours" she says seemingly even angrier now
"What are you talking about?"
"Sherry, wait a second"
Izo hears Sheria's voice ring out and looks toward the guild again. He does see her approaching along with Nashi but he sees another smaller person as well. A little girl who looked no older than Rowen. She wore a light pink blouse and a black skirt. She had long black hair and her eyes were a dark yet vibrant shade of blue.
"Auntie please put papa down" the little girl pleads with Sherry
Izo heard the little one's plea and from there he was pretty easily able to piece together why he was now hanging upside down with the blood rushing to his head.
"Like I was trying to explain before-" Nashi begins to speak seeing that Sherry was in a better position to listen
"Okay before anyone explains anything could you at least hold me in a way that doesn't make me feel like my head is about to explode" Izo said as his face was now red
Sherry's doll continues to hold him albeit no longer upside down.
Starting from the beginning it turned out that the little girl, Hana, had been brought to Lamia Scale at her own request by some people who found her while she was lost. Not knowing any better she immediately went up to Sheria and started to call her mama which threw many at the guild especially Sherry for a loop. To prove her claim the little girl showed off her ability to control and create black wind just like Sheria.
Once the shock had worn off Hana sat with her mother and aunt. Both pinkettes look at the girl not really knowing what to make of things which is when Hana spoke up.
"Mama can we go see Papa now?"
Sheria was at a loss for words but Sherry seemed more than ready to respond. "You want to see your papa? Sure, where can we find him?"
Hana smiles happily looking very excited as her eyes practically sparkle "Fairy Tail."
That all but confirmed it to the two older wizards. Sheria's feelings for Izo were pretty obvious to most and with Hana now claiming that she was his and her daughter was enough to make the Sky God Slayer's face change color to match her hair. Sherry on the other hand had a smile on her face but was also emitting an aura of pure murderous intent that majority of the guild could pick up on causing them to quickly back away as she started to stand
Back in the present Nashi had just finished explaining the whole situation with all the future children of the Dragon Slayers. Sheria and Sherry both listened intently while Hana and Rowen had started to play together clearly just happy to be back together.
"So, like frozen lizard didn't do anything with my cousin" Sheria sighs in relief
"Can you put me down now" Izo asks he could have frozen and shattered the rock doll on his own but he figured staying like this was the best thing for the situation
Sheria complied and the rock doll put him down before crumbling away.
Seeing him now free Hana quickly runs over to Izo and gives him a big hug practically tackling him "Papa I missed you"
He returns the hug and looks at Sheria who was still blushing. He smiles at her "Did you guys eat yet? We could all get some food and talk about what we should do"
"We haven't yet something to eat does sound really good" Sheria smiles back at him.
"Papa I'm really hungry let's eat lots" Hana says
"You're definitely a Dragon Slayer if you have a massive appetite alright princess let's have a special dinner to celebrate finding you" he smiles at her
"Yay" she cheers hugging him again as a thank you as Izo starts carrying her back to Fairy Tail "You guys coming?" he says looking back toward the rest.
Sheria was the first to follow him walking next to him and starting to speak with Hana. Sherry went soon after keeping a respectful distance from the two albeit a bit reluctantly
"Looks like we're having another guild party" Romeo says smiling as he puts Rowen on his shoulders and starts walking back to the guild.
Nashi smiles at the whole scene just happy to have another one of her friends back.
Izo smiled as he just listened to Hana and Sheria talk. No matter what he would do everything he could to protect both of them as well as the rest of the new members of his family.
Despite this being a side thing, I hope you guys enjoyed it. In all honesty another reason I wanted to write this was because I wanted to have more cute Rowen moments if that wasn't clear. I also thought it might help get the juices flowing on what else to do with the main story as well since it's been so long. Hopefully I'll be able to continue the main story soon but till then let me know what you guys think. Should I do more extra stuff like this, did I get you interested in my other fic please let me know. Don't forget to favorite, follow and/or leave a review. I'll catch you guys later
