I hope you enjoyed and one thing I want to mention I will make the chapters as long or short as I wish depending on whether or not I feel like a cliffhanger so if you don't like it. Thats how it is don't agree I'll get my lawyer Jeff. He's very successful. Anyway here's your cookie for reading and enjoy the new chapter.

Fairy tail is not mine if it was I would give it back. I don't know how to manage that stuff!

Chapter 3: The Crimson Dragon

Lucy stared at the man standing before her for he had managed to stun the beast that not even Natsu Dragneel, the famed Salamander, could harm. He had a red cloak on that went down to his knees and wore a simple black tee and blue jeans with a sword strapped in a, leather sheath, around his back. His hair was black and messy and his skin was almost tan but looked almost faded like it had been a while since he'd been outside, but what was most noticeable were his eyes they were a deep shade of red almost like blood.

"Hey I asked if you were okay!" The man said startling Lucy out of her daze

"Yeah I'm fine thanks for helping us out"

"Good, now get your friends out of here they're badly injured" he said with urgency.

"Yeah I'm on it" Lucy said as she sent Loke back to the spirit world and then rushed to Natsu's side and attempted to move him.

As soon as they were out of the way the man looked back at the monster. "You're a Capra demon I thought your kind was extinct" he said curiously. The demon growled low in its throat as if to issue a challenge to the man. The man smirked and said "alright then bring it on!". He charged at the monster summoning fire to his fists. He fire a barrage of fireballs into the beast and it staggered back. The demon roared and ran to the man preparing a powerful strike amplified with his incredible speed. The man used his fire on his feet and propelled himself forward narrowly dodging the attack and firing another fireball into the beasts side. The beast roared in anger, taking the opportunity the man jumped to the monsters mouth and fired another enormous fireball down the monsters gullet. The demon roared and flailed around as the flames melted it's organs. "Take that you ugly freak!" The man shouted as the demon fell to the ground and died with one last silent growl.

Seeing the monster fall, Lucy came out of hiding and approached the man who saved them. "That was incredible thank you so much"

He smiled and said "it was really nothing but you're welcome."

They both heard a sudden groan nearby coming from a pink haired Dragon slayer that had just woken up.

"Alright where's that monster I'll burn him to ash!" Natsu said ready for battle.

Lucy sighed relieved that her friend was okay." Natsu its okay the fights over"

Natsu shot up like a rocket." What do ya mean it's over who beat it?"

"Hi". The man said surprising Natsu who hadn't noticed him earlier.

"Wha! Who the heck are you" Natsu said.

"My name is Connor Coccino" He said smiling.

Natsu smiled back and said " my name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel"

"And I'm Lucy Heartfilia, thanks again for saving us" Lucy said gratefully.

"Like I said it's no problem I was happy to." Connor replied.

"I saw you use fire magic to fight that monster but it had this weird color to it" Lucy said

"Fire magic huh" Natsu said interested in the thought of more fire to eat.

"Yeah my fire is tinted crimson because of the kind of magic I use.." He said as if the question confused him.

"And what kind of magic would that be?" She asked.

"I'm the crimson dragon slayer" He said

"A Dragon slayer. You're like me!" Natsu said suddenly surprising Connor.

"Yes I am." He said warily.

"That's awesome! Lets fight!" Natsu said while his fists went ablaze.

"Um no thanks. I should probably get going I've got places to go" he said as he began to walk away.

"Wait!" Lucy shouted "can't we at least pay you back somehow?"

Connor stopped and thought over it for a few seconds when suddenly he could hear a growl coming from his stomach. "Well actually I haven't eaten in days" He laughed.

Lucy sweatdropped at his growling stomach when she could hear another growl right beside her coming from Natsu.

"Yeah I could go for something to eat too" Natsu said.

"Alright then let's head back to town" Lucy sighed feeling her wallet about to get lighter in order to satisfy the hunger of the pink haired fire Dragon slayer.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The three wizards had soon arrived back into the town and stopped at a restaurant to satisfy the two boys hunger. Their food quickly arrived and as quickly as it arrived it was devoured by Natsu. Connor ate lightly only nipping at his food. He also kept looking around as if he was nervous about something.

Lucy had noticed this and was a little worried."Connor?"

"Yeah Lucy?" He said suddenly.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah everything is fine" He said quickly like he wanted to change the subject.

Lucy bit her lip and backed off. Natsu had finished eating and looked over to Connor.

"Hey Connor" Natsu said.

"Yes Natsu?" He said.

"Are you in a guild?" He asked.

"What's a guild?"

"What how do you not know what a guild is!" Lucy suddenly shouted. Connor jumped at her voice and quickly responded " I'm sorry I just don't, we don't have guilds where I'm from."

Lucy looked puzzled. "And where exactly are you from?"

Connor said quickly "just a little unknown country north of fiore"

"Well here in fiore we have wizard guilds, guilds are a way for wizards to make a living and for the citizens to get the help they need" Lucy said proudly. Connor stared at her looking sort of puzzled. Lucy laughed nervously and continued eating her food.

"Hey Connor?" Natsu asked

"Yeah Natsu?" Connor replied

"How were you able to beat that thing back there? even I couldn't hurt it"

"Oh that's easy. Capra demons are a pretty common monster where I'm from" he said." The tricky thing about the capra demon is that they don't take head on physical damage, they're only affected by projectile attacks once you figure that out they're extremely easy." He said with a smile and a small smug smile on his face.

"Oh I see. So when Natsu and Loke attacked with their fists it did nothing. But since you only used your fireballs you were able to kill it" Lucy observed.

"Exactly" Connor said. "So what happened to that other friend of yours anyway you obviously didn't stuff him in your back pocket, so it must've been magic of some kind" He wondered.

Lucy's eyes glistened as she began to describe her magic to him "I use celestial spirit magic. I summon spirits using gate keys from the spirit world to help me when I fight or just whenever I need them" Lucy said as she showed off her keys,"and as for Loke he's one of my spirits and the leader of the celestial zodiac, the most powerful spirits out there."

"That's really cool, is that why you have that whip?" He asked as he pointed to the whip fastened to Lucy's belt.

"No! No, no, no" Lucy said while her face turned bright red. Causing Connor and Natsu to start laughing.

Connor looked over to Natsu, who was still laughing, and asked "what about you Natsu I saw your fist catch on fire outside and you said I was like you what magic do you use?"

Natsu smirked and said proudly "I'm a fire dragon slayer."

"So you really are like me. We use the same magic."

"Yeah I've never met another fire dragon slayer I want to fight you" Natsu said excitedly. Connor smirked revealing the trademark Dragon slayer fangs.

"Sure if you think you can beat me"

Lucy smiled glad that Connor was opening up. Natsu had a sudden smirk on his face. "So if you're not in guild." Connor looked over at him, a bit apprehensive of what the pink haired fire dragon slayer was about to say." How about you join fairy tail!" Natsu shouted aloud.

Connor stared at him and then smiled "sure why not"

"Awesome!" Natsu said. He grabbed onto the collar on Connors robe and dragged him on the heel of his shoes while Lucy giggled at the two boys.
