Eye of the Iron Dragon
Erza heard what sounded like a tremendous roar coming from the distance, but it didn't sound like any of the roars that any of the creatures on the island produced. If anything, it sounded eerily similar to Natsu's roar. With that in mind, she started running in that direction.
(with Natsu and Happy)
Natsu suddenly sensed a massive power coming from somewhere on the island, as he looked around.
"What is it?" Happy asked.
"Dragon Magic," was all Natsu said. Happy noticed he didn't say "Dragon Slayer Magic", he said "Dragon Magic".
(with Wendy)
Wendy looked up from the flowers she was picking, also sensing the spur of dragon magic. It was very similar to the magic that her brother utilized.
(with Gajeel and Levy)
The power surged around Gajeel, as his newly achieved Dragon's Eye glowed bright. Levy could only stare. This is just like the power that Natsu can use, she thought. Yomazu and Kawazu stared, as they both began to shake slightly, feeling the power that was radiating off their opponent.
"So what if he has this power!" Kawazu said, "We'll still get him!" He then opened his mouth, and pointed his head upwards, as he started spitting out eggs, which rained down on Gajeel, before exploding. The Dragon Slayer formed his Iron Dragon Scales around him, blocking all the eggs, not even leaving a scratch.
"That it?" Gajeel asked, looking up.
"Far from it!" Yomazu answered, as he jumped forward, "Solid Script: Cut!" The symbol flared up, and cut at him. However, the blow deflected off the scales.
"What is this!" Yomazu demanded as he slashed at Gajeel, who caught it.
"You've already lost," Gajeel said, looking at the goat man. From his arm, sprouted several fists made out of iron. The fists punched Yomazu away. The fists then reshaped themselves into what looked like open dragon mouths. The mouths grabbed onto Yomazu, and slammed him into the ground. During all this, Levy watched in a state of awe.
"Is this the true power of a Dragon Slayer?" she muttered.
"Don't forget about me!" Kawazu declared, as he leapt at Gajeel. He spat more of his eggs at Gajeel, but again, they easily deflected off Gajeel's scales. From Gajeel's back, shot several iron poles, which knocked Kawazu in the gut. The iron poles then came together, and formed a dragon head, which opened its mouth, and released a massive storm of dragon iron, which sent the rooster man flying.
"And who says rooster's can't fly?" Gajeel sneered. Yomazu then leapt at him, bring down his sword. Gajeel, however, held up his arm, as the sword broke off when it collided. Yomazu barely had time to even be surprised, as Gajeel's leg came up, and kicked the goat away. The Iron Dragon Slayer then opened his hands, as a series of spinning iron stars appeared in them.
"Iron Dragon's Demon Shuriken!" He then sent the stars flying at Yomazu slashing him up. Kawazu then made the mistake to charge him again. Gajeel then turned.
"Iron Dragon's Mace!" His hand turned into an iron mace, striking him away. Looking over the Grimoire Heart members, who refused to stay down, he took a breath. From his back, then sprouted a series of iron shafts, which merged and shaped themselves into a pair of wings. With a flap, Gajeel was in the air.
"Forget dragon fire," he said, "Let's see what dragon iron can do." He then held up both of his arms, both of them forming into massive jagged swords.
"Iron Dragon's Demon Swords!" Gajeel then swung them at his respective opponents, who only just managed to get out of the way. The swords cut through dozens of trees in the process. Massive spears then shot out of swords, twisting after the Grimoire Heart members. The spears sent them all sprawling to the ground.
"You bastard!" Yomazu said, weakly looking up.
"We aren't down yet!" Kawazu said. The two tried to rise up to their feet, but then they saw the massive form looming over them. Broad metallic wings, a rectangular head with massive teeth, and a spiked body, glaring down on them.
"You're seriously going to regret screwing with Fairy Tail," Gajeel said. He then inhaled.
(Flashback)
As he munched on some scrap, Gajeel pondered his options. Now that Phantom Lord was gone, he was out of a job. Somehow the Council came to mind.
"Yeah," he muttered, "Over my dead body."
"Don't knock anything until you've tried it!" Gajeel glanced down, and saw a small mustached man standing beneath him.
"Yo!"
"Master Makarov!" Gajeel said in surprise, "What're you doing here!"
"Juvia recently joined Fairy Tail," Makarov answered, much to Gajeel's surprise, "Believe it or not, she's kind of worried about you."
"What would she care?"
"She is your friend after all," Makarov answered, "Why don't you come and join her?"
"What!" Gajeel snapped, "You seriously think I would like that?"
"I think you don't like being alone," Makarov answered, "Point me to a person who truly does." Gajeel was silent at that.
"But I…."
"Destroyed the guild, just wood and rock," Makarov said.
"But your members…."
"Now that I cannot forgive," Makarov said. Gajeel could barely move, as he felt an aura of pure rage radiating off Makarov.
"But I can't forgive letting someone fall into darkness either," the Fairy Tail master explained, before offering a hand, "Let's not think about redemption now. Let's just think about moving on. But that's all up to you."
(End Flashback)
I will not let anyone hurt Fairy Tail! Gajeel thought, before opening his mouth.
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Iron Dragon's Raging Roar!" He then released his Dragon's Roar. The shards of iron, however, came together, and formed a series of dragon heads. The heads then crashed into the ground and the Grimoire duo. When the dust faded, it showed both of them on the ground, completely defeated.
Gajeel floated down to the ground. He took a breath as his Dragon's Eye faded away. Levy then emerged from her hiding space.
"That was… amazing," she said. Gajeel panted as he looked at her.
"Yeah well, thanks," he said, wiping the side of his mouth, "That iron you gave me was what unlocked it." He then smirked.
"Now I can take on Salamander!"
"Don't forget he can also turn into a half-dragon," Levy said with a sigh.
"Yeah! Well!" Gajeel said, stumbling over his words slightly, "I can do that too!" Levy just giggled.
"Levy! Gajeel!" The two looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Erza running in their direction.
"Erza!" Levy said happily. The scarlet haired mage skidded to a halt as she saw their enemies.
"What the hell's all this?" she demanded.
"We were walking around when they suddenly ambushed us," Levy explained, "They said they're from Grimoire Heart!"
"Grimoire Heart!" Erza said, "What're you…"
"It doesn't matter," Yomazu suddenly said with a snicker, making everyone look at him. Gajeel held up his hand, as it turned into an iron claw, which extended over and picked up the goat man.
"Alright you son of a bitch," he growled, "You're going to tell us what's going on. Do it, and I might leave you in two pieces." Yomazu just cackled somewhat.
"When the Seven King of Purgatory come, you'll be more than just finished, you won't even exist," he said.
"The Seven Kin?" Levy asked.
"I've heard of them," Erza said, "It seems a march larger problem has dropped on us." She then held out her hand, as a flare materialized in it. Without missing a beat, she fired it into the air, sending a red spot into the sky. Every guild member looked up to see it.
(with Lucy and Cana)
"Of all the times for this to happen…," Cana said, clenching her fists, "After we've come so far…."
"Cana," Lucy said, "If this is such a big problem then the Master…."
"Screw him!" Cana declared, "I ain't stopping!"
"Chill," Gray said as he emerged from the bushes with Loke.
"Was that an attempt at a pun?" Loke asked.
"What're you doing here?" Lucy demanded.
"It was a coincidence," Gray said, "Besides, it ain't important at this point."
"There's an emergency meeting spot," Loke said, "Back in the camp."
"Being chased by monsters, having to fight S-Class mages, and now some weird emergency is happening," Lucy moaned, "Between this and snuggling with my baby? What was I thinking?"
(with Erza, Gajeel, and Levy)
"Let's head back to the camp!" Levy said to Gajeel.
"You kidding?" Gajeel said, "I've got more fight in me than you!"
"Are you at full strength?" Erza asked.
"I….," Gajeel began.
"Not by a long-shot," Levy interrupted, and upon seeing her partner's glower said, "Don't give me that, idiot. You took more of a beating than you might think." Erza re-quipped into her armor.
"If that's the case, then you two head back to camp," she said, "I'm going to go find Mest and Wendy. If what I think is going to happen, happens, we need to all be together to face it." She then looked towards Yomazu.
"You can either tell me what's going to happen, or I'm going to beat the information out of you," Erza said, "Either way I'm getting it."
"Screw you, red!" Yomazu answered.
(beat)
"We're here to find the Black Mage, Zeref," Yomazu answered, a lump on his head. The air turned so still it might as well have been made of stone.
"That's… that's impossible!" Juvia said, "He existed over a thousand years ago!"
"Brush up on your history, kid," Yomazu said, "It was only 400 years."
"You've got to be lying!" Erza yelled, "There's no way Zeref can be here!"
"I wouldn't lie about this," Yomazu answered, "Zeref has been living on this island in a state of slumber for the past 400 years. Once he's awakened, he'll rule the world, with us as his lieutenants!"
"This is Fairy Tail's sacred ground!" Erza said, "Its under magical protection!"
"Something tells me that the army won't have much of a problem with it, let alone the Seven Kin. We've got Ultear, the Time Mistress as the leader, but then there's Rustyrose, my boss, Caprico, Kain Hikaru, Zancrow, and Meredy coming."
"You said seven," Erza said, "And yet listed only six."
"Well… one of them is already here," Yomazu said.
"What!"
(with Wendy)
"Do you remember what that flare is for?" Wendy asked.
"Uh…," Mest said, before starting to chomp on a rock, "I have to know!"
"Don't tell me you forgot," Wendy said. As Mest held up his face, he pondered what was going on. What's going on now? he asked What's he going to do, now?
"Wendy!" The Sky Dragon Slayer looked up, and saw Carla and Pantherlily swooping down towards them.
"Get away from him!" Carla cried.
"What're you guys doing here?" Wendy asked.
"Identify yourself!" Carla demanded to Mest.
"My name's Mest Grader," Mest answered, "I was Mystogan's…." He was silenced as his collar was picked up by Pantherlily.
"The Prince never interacted with anyone in this world," the exceed said, "It wasn't a bad idea to use him as a cover, but I imagine you hadn't counted on this. Now again, who are you?"
"What's going on!" Wendy asked.
"Be silent," Carla hissed.
"I don't know…," Mest began.
"You use a magic that can manipulate memories," Pantherlily said, "That's how you managed to get into the guild, and the exams. Now I'll ask one last time. Who are you? And if you dodge the question again, I'll start breaking limbs."
"Pantherlily, wait!" Wendy said, "We need to figure things out!"
"Precisely," Mest said, with that, he flashed out of Pantherlily's grip, and in an instant, was in front of Wendy.
"Wendy!" Carla cried.
"Teleportation!" Pantherlily said, as he lunged at the Dragon Slayer. However, Mest pulled Wendy out of the way of a massive explosion, much to everyone's surprise.
"The hell was that?" Pantherlily asked.
"He saved Wendy," Carla said.
"Show yourself!" Mest ordered. There was a silent, before a voice came from a tree.
"I must commend you for managing to detect me," the tree said, "That's not simple." Then a face emerged fro the tree, much to everyone's shock.
"I'm of Grimoire Heart's Seven Kin of Purgatory, I'm known as Azuma."
"Grimoire Heart?" Wendy asked.
"One of the Balam Alliance," Carla said, "Like the Oracion Seis."
"I don't understand the point of telling you anything at this point, seeing what's going on now," Azuma said as he fully emerged from the tree trunk. He had dark skin, with flaring brown hair, and a brown beard, wearing a green and orange outfit.
"Explain now!" Pantherlily demanded. There was then a chuckling sound, coming from Mest of all people.
"You know I just came here to find some dirt on Fairy Tail," he said, "But with Grimoire Heart and Zeref now both here. I could get promoted to general."
"Who are you!" Carla snapped.
"I'm a member of the Magic Council," Mest explained, "I came here to find some excuse to get the guild disbanded."
"The Council?" Carla said, "Are they that desperate?"
"Mest…," Wendy muttered.
"Of course now that Grimoire Heart is coming, I think this trumps it," Mest said, "Besides, Grimoire Heart coming to a Fairy Tail island? I"m sure the Council can make that work."
"You scumbags!" Pantherlily said, "And you call yourselves the protectors of justice?"
"I don't give a damn about what you say," Mest said, "I had a Council battleship trace me to, and I'm going to arrest every last one of you?" Sure enough, in the distance, coming closer, was a Council battleship coming in their direction.
"You mean that?" Azusa asked, gesturing over his shoulder. Then, the ship spontaneous exploded.
"Well that solves that." Mest let out a yell, as everyone looked on in horror. Azuma then jumped from the tree, cracking his neck.
"Well, time to finish this."
Note: Sorry the second half followed canon so closely. I want to have some deviations in the next one, especially considering how Wendy now has her Eclipse Dragon powers. I hope you also liked reading about Gajeel's Dragon's Eye powers.
If you have any suggestions about what to do perhaps expand on deviations.
