Fairy Tail: A fight for the present: Past Vs. Future
I planned on updating this story every other day, but I'm taking a short break from my other fic so that I can post another chapter or two on here so that fans have some chapters to read while they wait for me to update. So there are a total of ten people from the future: eight human kids and two exceeds. I realized afterwards that I had forgotten to introduce the exceeds, which I'll do in this chapter. This chapter, or at least the first part, will mostly involve meet and greets between the next generation of Fairy Tail (and Sabertooth) and their parents as well as other guildmates. With that out of the way, let's get on with the fic.
Chapter 2: The New Generation
There was a ten second pause, then Gillian waved her hand, and the word "heavy" appeared above Nemo's head, which then dropped onto his head, knocking him to the ground with a loud thud, and resulted in pointing and laughing from Nashi and Ur. "Ow! Gillian!" Shouted Nemo, jumping to his feet and looking at the black haired girl. "Nemo, what have I said about the dramatics!" She demanded angrily. It was funny watching them. Despite the shorter genes of his parents, Nemo was standing at about six feet tall.
Whereas Gillian appeared to have taken after her mother and, despite the two being the same age, only stood at about five feet. It was like watching slightly younger version of Levy reprimand a younger version of Gajeel. "But I wasn't being dramatic, if we hadn't come back, Earthland would've been guaranteed to be destroyed by whatever disaster that is to come!" Countered Nemo. "That aside, you don't have to say it like that!" Said Gillian.
With a huff Nemo crossed his arms and looked away. "Well excuse me for being me." Muttered Nemo. Then he felt an arm wrap around his shoulder. He looked to see that it belonged to Natsu. "So you're really my kid?" He asked. "No, I meant the other Natsu Dragneel." Said Nemo sarcastically. Natsu stared at him blankly. "There's another Natsu Dragneel?" Asked Natsu stupidly. Nemo stared at him unimpressed. "I think everyone can guess where he inherited his intelligence." Deadpanned Ur.
"Don't insult my dad you water princess!" Said Nashi angrilly. Ur shrugged. Lucy walked over to Nashi. "So you're my daughter?" Asked Lucy. Nashi smiled at her. "That's right mom!" She said happily. "This is more than a little strange," Thought Lucy, "but they do seem legit." Gray looked down at his supposed son. "So you're my son?" He asked. "Yeah." Was all Ur said. "Well I think he's absolutely adorable!" Squealed Juvia as she embraced Ur.
Ur just sat there for a moment letting his mother hug him, then he turned into water and fell became a puddle on the floor, causing Juvia to scream in surprise and jump back. Then Ur reformed into a human. Gray couldn't help but smirk a little, he was willing to bet that Ur had used that trick plenty of times to escape his mother's over affectionate embraces. Edward walked over to his parents. "Hello mother, father." Said the red haired boy politely, sticking his hand out.
Jellal gladly took the hand and shook it, but when they turned to look at Erza, they were surprised to see her staring off into space. Then she collapsed on the floor. "Mom!?" "Erza!?" Exclaimed Edward and Erza. "I have a son, I have a son." Said Erza woozily. "Erza stop it! You're scaring your kid!" Shouted Macao. "Yeah, and technically, it'd be more accurate to say that you will have a son." Chimed in Wakaba. "Oh don't worry, my mom has done way more scary stuff." Replied Edward.
This caused Macao and Wakaba to wonder how much trauma this kid (as well as his friends) had endured and how much of it (probably all of it) could be blamed on Erza. The two exceeds that were flying around landed on the heads of Nemo and Nashi. "Hi there, my name is Angel." Said the one on Nemo's head. She was blue except for a portion of her face, and the bottom half of her right arm, which were both white. "And I'm Luna." Squeaked the other one who had the same fur pattern, but her colors were swapped.
Then they both flew over to Carla and Happy. "Hi mom, his dad." Said Angel. "Woah, you're our kids!?" Exclaimed Happy in surprise. "Aye sir!" Replied Angel. Carla and Luna both sighed and shook their heads. Wendy and Romeo stood there and watched the four exceeds interact. "It's like Carla and Happy are standing in front of a funhouse mirror." Commented Romeo. Wendy couldn't help but giggle. Gajeel stared at his daughter with a look that would've sent most people running for the hills.
But she just stood there and stared back at him with a similar look while Levy stood next to Gajeel and kept looking between the two. "I guess you've got strong genes short stuff, our kids puny." Said Gajeel, breaking the silence. Gillian said nothing, but her cheeks puffed out, making an adorable pout. "Don't say that," Said Levy, smacking Gajeel's arm, then smiling at her daughter, she said, "she's perfect." Gajeel grinned at her in response.
"'Course she is, we made her… or we will any way." Said the iron dragon slayer. "Stop it." Groaned Gillian. She then turned around to see Jet and Droy staring at her. "So that's their kid huh?" Said Jet looking at her. "I see the resemblance." Said Droy as he munched a burger. "Hi uncle Jet, uncle Droy." Greeted Gillian kindly. The two smiled at her. They had been sad for a while that they hadn't been able to win Levy.
But after seeing the result of her being with Gajeel, they didn't mind all that much anymore. Nova stared at his old man. "Dad." Said Nova. "Son." Replied Laxus. Mirajane walked over and hugged Nova. "Aww, he's such a cutie, don't you think so too Dragon?" Asked the Satan Soul takeover mage. "Whatever you say Demon." Replied Laxus. Nova simply sighed as his mother continued to hug him. "Different time, same parents." He muttered.
A thought came to Natsu's head (I know, rare right (eye roll)). "How did you do that?" Asked Natsu as he looked at his son. "Do what?" Asked Nemo in confusion. "It's clear that you're a dragon slayer, the breath attack made that part obvious, but you were able to use seven elements, and all at once, but you only said one attribute, how?" Asked Lucy. "Oh, that." Said Nemo as he scratched the back of his head. "That's just how my element works." Said Nemo, being unhelpful with his answer.
Natsu, Lucy, and Nashi all fell over anime style at his answer. "That doesn't explain anything!" Said Lucy angrilly. Nemo took a deep breath and sighed. "I have what is called Amber Dragon Slaying Magic," Said Nemo, realizing that he was being serious, Lucy calmed down and started listening, as did the dragon slayers, "Amber is the power of absorption, in my time, I absorbed magic from all of the gen one, two, and three dragon slayers, giving me access to all seven of their elements."
"That sounds kind of like Acnologia." Commented Erik. "Yes and no. Acnologia may have been able to absorb your elements and consume them, but he couldn't use them, he just used pure magic energy as a weapon, I absorbed your elements, but I actually use them." Replied Nemo. "So basically, you can have as many elements as you want. Isn't that even more dangerous than Acnologia?" Pointed out Laxus. "Maybe, if I could live as long as that psycho did." Said Nemo.
"I have limits to the number of elements I can use, currently I only have the ability to use seven, and I can only acquire elements from other dragon slayers anyway, so my options of where to get elements from is pretty limited." Explained the Amber dragon slayer. Attention then turned to Nashi then. "Is your magic the same?" Asked Lucy. Nashi shook her head. "I'm not an Amber dragon slayer like my brother, I'm a Sun dragon slayer, a combination of my mother's and father's magic." Explained the pink haired girl.
Lucy's and Natsu's eyes widened in surprise. Nashi held up a hand so that the palm was facing the ceiling, then she focused her magic energy into it, causing a small ball of light to appear in it. Then she closed her hand making it disappear. Gray and Juvia looked over at Ur. "So you use your mothers magic then?" Asked Gray. "Not exactly." Said Ur. He got into a stance, then said, "Matter Make: Water Spear!" After saying it, he launched a spear of water into a wall, carving a hole through it, the water then became a puddle and evaporated.
"I have maker magic like my father, but I have access to water, ice, and steam, giving a lot more options." Explained Ur. Eyes all turned to Edward as he stood over his mother who was just now beginning to recover. When he noticed the stares, he sighed and got to his feet. "unlike Nashi and Ur, whose magics are mergings between what their parents use, I simply posses both of my parents magic, making me, as Nemo once coined it: A Heavenly Requip Mage." Explained the red head.
"Rox and I just got our dad's magics." Said Yuya. Then he and the black haired girl each mimicked what Nashi had done, but using their respective magics. "I simply inherited my mother's magic, Nemo and I actually make a two person team, since I can always make food for him if he ever runs low on magic." Said Gillian, which explained the "heavy" she dropped on Nemo earlier. "Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure we've seen this before somewhere." Whispered Romeo to Wendy.
"What!? There's no way in H*l* I'd let my kid work with the Salamander's brat!" Said Gajeel. "Hey!?" Shouted Nemo and Natsu respectively. But their efforts were unneeded because all it took was one glare from his daughter to shut the iron dragon slayer up. Everyone went to Nova, the only one not to reveal his magic. The blonde boy held up a hand, and made sparks of lighting fly around it. "Hah, the boy takes after his father." Said Laxus proudly crossing his arms.
"Lightning Demon Halberd!" Shouted Nova as he formed a halberd made of white lightning and launched it at the hole that Ur made, which hit it, making a much larger hole. Everyone stared at the blonde in surprise (save for his friends obviously). Nova lifted up his shirt, revealing tattoos on his torso. And they weren't regular tattoos, they were demon slayer marks. "Another one." Said Gray, who hadn't (knowling) encountered another demons slayer since his late father.
Nemo suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around to see Romeo standing behind him. "I'm curious, what am I like in the future?" Asked the rainbow fire mage. Nemo just stares at Romeo for a few seconds, then the amber dragon slayer turns around and walks away. "H-hey!" Said Romeo angrilly following. Eventually they were out of anyone else's hearing range, then Nemo turned around and faced Romeo. "That was a bit of a jerky move there." Said Romeo angrilly.
"Sorry, but there are somethings that we can't just blurt out to the world." Said Nemo. Romeo blinked then returned to the glare he was giving Nemo. "So why didn't you want anyone else to hear about future me?" He demanded. "Sorry, did you want them to learn about you being a _ _ early?" Asked Nemo (Sorry, no spoilers). Romeo blinked, then looked at his left arm. "So I do eventually take these bandages off then?" Asked Romeo. Nemo nodded.
"And because you did, you became the strongest wizard in Fiore." Said the amber dragon slayer. Romeo's eyes widened. "You mean…?" He asked uncertainly. "Yup, you're full title is: Romeo Conbolt: First Wizard Saint of Fiore." Said Nemo. "I always thought Natsu would be stronger than me." Said Romeo. Nemo laughed. "He is, but do you think the magic council would let my dad of all people be a wizard saint? Uncle Zeref would have a better chance than my dad, and he's, well Zeref." Said Nemo.
Then Romeo laughed. Then he stopped. "So I'm assuming the others know then?" Asked the violet haired boy. Nemo nodded. "Don't worry, both I, and our parents, gave them strict instructions to not spill the beans, honestly there's a more immediate crisis that I'm worried about." Said Nemo. "And that would be?" Asked Romeo. "My dad or uncle Gray catching Ur making out with my sister." Said Nemo, with a serious expression.
If Romeo had been drinking something, he definitely would've spit it out. "Please god tell me you're joking." Said Romeo as they began walking back. "Nope, granted my sister and Ur still fight like my Dad and uncle, it's just that they abruptly, and randomly end up kissing each other, even after three years none of us have been able to figure out when they will switch." Explained Nemo. "Okay, now this is something I've gotta see." Muttered Romeo, not sure if Nemo was telling the truth or not.
Then a question came to Romeo. "So are there any other of you in this "new generation" of yours?" Asked Romeo. "Oh plenty, it's just that there was a certain age and number limit, did you notice how none of us are younger than our teens?" Asked Nemo. Now that he mentioned it, Romeo noticed that all of the time travellers were in their late or mid-teens. "What's coming is dangerous, we were worried that if we sent someone too young that they wouldn't survive." Explained Nemo.
"What is coming anway?" Asked Romeo. Nemo was quiet for a moment before saying, "Not a clue." Romeo then fell over anime style. "How can you not know!? Shouldn't that be the first thing they tell you before sending you back in time!?" Demanded Romeo. "They would if it would do any good." Said Nemo. "What does that mean?" Asked Romeo as the neared the front doors of Fairy Tail. "We know nothing of what is coming, because the crisis changes every time, apparently my friends and I are the 777th group of time travellers sent back in time." Said Nemo.
"Wait back up, what do you mean 'the crisis changes every time'?" Asked Romeo as the entered Fairy Tail. "Just what I meant, there is some sort of temporal anomaly, that changes the villains and their goals every time we're sent back to our time, the only consistency is that if we don't come to this time, it is guaranteed that the bad guys will win, and the majority of the good wizards of Fiore get butchered in the process, leaving the few who survive to go into hiding and have kids." Explained Nemo.
"Which lead to the first group of time travellers, starting this entire looping process in the first place." Said Romeo, connecting the dots. "Bingo boyo." Said Nemo as he and Romeo took a seat at one of the tables. He then turned and looked at where he was hearing a lot of commotion come from. "Oh no." He said when he saw the source of the commotion. "What is it?" Asked Romeo, turning to look where Nemo was looking. "Oh…" Said the rainbow Fire mage as he saw Nashi and Ur butting heads.
"Romeo." Said Nemo. "Yes Nemo?" Asked Romeo. "Look away for a moment.' Said Nemo. "Why?" Asked Romeo. "Just do it!" Snapped Nemo. "Fine, fine." Said Romeo as the both looked away. When they looked back, Nashi and Ur were kissing. "...How? Just… how?" Asked Romo in surprise and confusion. "Told you so." Said Nemo with a smirk. Then Natsu and Gray noticed and the rest of the day was (even more chaotic) chaos in the Fairy Tail guildhall.
I really wasn't sure what I was doing near the end, this was stuff that just kind of needed to be mentioned, and I decided that I might as well mention it now since I had the opportunity. So yeah, the new guys and girls have no idea what they're dealing with (but we do (sort of)) and the new kids now know Romeo's secret, whatever that may be (I ain't tellin' none of y'all). I really don't have much else to say, the fun one shot interactions (should) begin in the next chapter, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (I'm serious, please help me cause I don't have too many ideas myself) I might take a break from writing soon because I've posted five chapters in total between this and my other story over the course of four days and I think I can feel my brain melting (it hurts). With that out of the way, I need to get out of here before my parents skin me alive for working on my story at 12:30 in the morning. So until next time fic fans, Nemon0416 is outta here! (Fairy Tail Salute!)
