Hello everyone! Welcome to Chapter 13 of RDK. Now I know I am late but this chapter was just really difficult to write. Keep in mind this chapter for the majority is fighting and two of them completely original that I had to come up with.
To put it perspective this chapter was originally 26 pages, but after editing and doing some line space I was over 40!
Plus I had little to time to work on this, because I am working most of the day and come home completely exhausted and hungry.
Not to mention I was outlining how Neo Uzu was gonna go and if I would simply skip over some arcs or commit completely. Still working on that.
Now then, we have come to the end of the first day of the GMG. I may skip the event of the second day and go straight to the fights due to not seeing much I would want to change in the day itself. The results may end up the same, but how we get there will be different.
The last quarter of this chapter will be filled with serious drama and angst and the Wendy's temper reaches a peak with someone.
Not much more to say except that Naruto will only make appearances when necessary so he doesn't end up a deus-ex machina for Fairy Tail. Something I am trying to avoid.
Also Next Update is Neo Uzu, but that may be delayed due to an unexpected Family emergency.
Now then on with the Chapter!
Battles of the First Round and Tensions Rise!
Lucy looked anxiously at her opponent. The creepy red head of Raven Tail, Flare Corona.
"Lucy, you can do it! Show them the results of your training!" Natsu shouted.
"Don't let your guard down." Gray warned.
"Be careful Lucy-chan." Wendy cheered.
"We all have faith in you, Lucy." Erza reassured her.
Lucy bit her lip in deep thought.
'They tried to hurt Wendy. During the first event, they only went after her. I won't forgive them!' she thought. She turn to give her teammates a determined look.
"Leave it to me, everyone. I'll definitely win." she said confidently.
"OHHH!" Lily said.
"That's the spirit, Lucy!" Happy cheered.
"The opponent is Ivan's guild. Be careful Lucy." Makarov warned.
"Hmmmm." Mavis hummed in thought.
"What's wrong, Shodaime?" Romeo asked.
"Raven Tail has tried to actively attack us twice. I am worried they will try something again, since their last two attempts have failed. I also wonder if HE'LL take an active approach if something occurs." she said.
Everyone, minus Makarov, wondered who Mavis was talking about. Makarov was also wondering what actions Acnologia will take if Raven Tail does anything. Wendy had admitted that her father could've easily killed Raven Tail, so the question was what Naruto will do now?
"It seems that the two masters of the guilds have a father-son relationship. What do you think, Yajima-san?" Chapati said.
"Well if the two bare two different guild marks, that obviously says the relationship between the two is dead." the former council member retorted.
"May the two fighters please come to the front stage!" Pumpkinhead shouted.
"The entire tournament arena is the battlefield. So may all teams go to their respective waiting area."
The two mages continued to look at one another as pumpkinhead explained the rules.
"The rules were simple. All matches will be 30 minutes. The winner receives ten points, while the loser receives no points. If no winner is decided by the 30 minute mark, the match is a draw and both members receive five points. Understood?"
Flare continued to stare at Lucy like a creepy stalker. "Blondie. Blondie. Blondie. Blondie." she continued to mutter in creepy low voice that only Lucy could hear due to their close proximity.
"LET THE FIRST MATCH BEGIN!" Pumpkinhead shouted.
Lucy wasting no time quickly takes out one of her golden keys.
"OPEN! GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL! TAURUS!"
The Celestial Spirit appeared with a battle axe, ready for combat.
"MOOOOOO!" he roared while charging at Flare.
"Mmmmm." Flare hummed as she looked at the spirit in amusement before jumping up to dodge Taurus's attack.
"SCORPIO!" Lucy shouted as the Scorpion Celestial Spirit appeared.
"OH YEAH!" the new spirit shouted.
"SAND BUSTER!" Scorpio shouted.
Flare responded by untangling her hair and let it flow freely. Her hair then swirled in front of her and actually blocked the Sand Buster!
"What the hell?" Gray said.
"Her hair extended? That's her magic?!" Natsu yelled.
"What will you do, Lucy?" Erza said to herself.
"C'mon Lucy, you can do this." Wendy said.
Lucy did not seem fazed by this, and then called to her spirits.
"TAURUS! SCORPIO'S SAND AND YOUR AXE!"
Taurus looked at the sand and immediately understood Lucy's thinking.
"MOOOOO'KAY!" He said.
Flare and the audience were surprised when Taurus raised his axe and the sand began to swirl around the axe. Flare's eyes widen feeling the fairly large magic coming out of the combined attack.
"LET IT RIP, TAURUS!" Scorpio shouted.
"SANDSTORM AXE ALDEBARAN!" Taurus slammed his axe downwards and several tornadoes of sand erupted around Taurus.
"GUAAH!" Flare shouted in pain as she was sent flying by the attack.
"Blondie!" Flare growled.
"HAIR SHOWER-WOLF FANG!" Flare shouted as her hair swirled forward and merged together in the form of large rabid wolf that wanted to take a bite out of Lucy.
"Her hair turned into a wolf?!" Sherria said in shock.
"That's some weird hair." Yuka said.
"More like creepy hair." Tobi said.
"You're all being nosey." Jura said to all three.
Lyon just looked at the man with a small amount of sympathy.
Back on the battlefield, Lucy was prepared for this. She dismissed her other two spirits before taking another key out and shouting,
"OPEN! GATE OF THE GIANT CRAB! CANCER!" A another portal opened and Cancer came out.
"If it's a haircut you need, Lucy. Leave it to me, ebi." Cancer said as he chopped and cut the hair wolf into pieces as the false animal cried in comical agony.
"My hair!" Flare shouted in shock before glaring at Lucy. She dug her hair into the sand and grabbed the two by their ankles.
"Oh no!" Lucy cried before being lifted to the air along with Cancer, who had his arms bounded to keep him from cutting her hair again. The two felt pain as Flare slammed them together. Lucy flinched as she felt her forehead get bruised from the impact.
Lucy quickly dismissed Cancer before the two were slammed together again. Flare was not bothered by this as she raised Lucy high into the air and then slammed her hard into the ground. Lucy coughed up some blood and could vaguely hear the sound of her teammates shouting her name.
She lifted her head to see Flare's sadistic smile. Lucy glared in defiance. She will not let her teammates down like this!
Before she could do anything, she was slammed again by Flare.
"Eat that, bitch!" the crazed redhead said to the blonde mage.
"If that's the case, two can play that game." Lucy said before removing a handle from her skirt clip before pouring energy into it and creating a tendril of blue and yellow magical energy. It was an energy whip!
"Try my FLEUVE D'ETOILES!" she shouted as the whip wrapped around Flare's arm.
"Damn you." Flare growled. The two looked at each other in defiance; neither willing to back down from their stalemate. The two yanked hard and both were sent flying up and both then fell to the ground.
Lucy quickly got on her knees glaring at a shocked Flare.
"There has been little time to breathe in this battle! The Battle between the father-son guilds! Battle of the female mages! Neither is willing to back down!"
"Mmmm, Fairy Tail seems to have an advantage." Jenny said.
"Looks like the Celestial Mage has this match." Risley said.
"Don't be too sure just yet." Seilah said.
Lucy flinched and looked to see that her boots were shredded and her ankles had burned marks.
No serious injury, but still painful to bare.
"My boots…." she muttered. She got up and slowly, but painfully removed the boots.
"My..sunset hair...to damage me this much." she muttered before her eyes glared at Lucy in insane hatred.
She rose up and growled at her. "Blondie!" she roared before sending her hair in the sand again.
Lucy looked around, waiting for the hair to pop up. But for some reason, her didn't pop up.
'What's going on? Why is she not attack.' Lucy thought to herself.
She looked at Flare who was giving her a sinister smirk. She then discretely pointed her finger to the stands. Lucy looked confused before turning and seeing at the Fairy Tail stands, a tendril of hair rise behind Asuka-chan. Lucy paled.
"Asuka-chan-" she was about to warn before her mouth was covered by Flare's hair. She was raised up and slammed into the ground.
"Don't make a sound. That's an order. If you don't want anything to happen, then you'll listen like the good bitch you are."
Lucy glared hatefully at her opponent. 'Dirty, rotten, cheating bitch!' she shouted in her head.
For the next few minutes, Lucy was slammed up and down, side to side with no sight that it would stop any time soon.
"Lucy what's wrong?!" Erza shouted.
"Why is she not fighting back?!" Gray shouted in confusion.
"Lucy, c'mon you can do this!" Elfman shouted.
"Fight back!" practically everyone in her guild shouted.
Wendy and Natsu can tell there was something wrong. Both looked at one another before nodding and turning back to arena, but this time enhancing their hearing so they can focus on Lucy and Flare.
They took notice after Lucy was slammed for the 30th time, causing her to cough a mouthful of blood. It was at this moment that Flare began to taunt Lucy again. How weak and pathetic she was. How she will be her little play thing for the duration of this match.
However, Flare then dipped her voice into low whisper only Lucy would hear, but the two dragonslayers of Team FTA heard.
"That's a good pet. Don't fight back and take your beating. You wouldn't want poor Asuka-chan to get hurt right?" she taunted at the blonde, celestial mage.
Inhuman growls erupted from both Natsu and Wendy's throats as their eyes turned into slits and in Wendy's case, became blood red.
'That bitch!' they roared in their minds.
"Ok that's it! No one messes with the cute toddler! You and Natsu need to do something! And I mean NOW before our sister gets beaten or worse!" roared and Wendy looked at one another again before nodding and began running to the stands, ignoring the cries of their teammates. It was good thing they did this, because Flare was now hoisting Lucy and preparing to brand her with the Raven Tail mark right above her guild mark.
"Like hell we'll let this go on!" shouted Natsu and Wendy as they reached their guild's stand and got to Asuka before ripping apart Flare's hair, which caused her to flinch. Everyone, but Mavis and Makarov, looked confused, while the two masters glared at Raven Tail for their cheap plot.
"Lucy's now's your chance!" Natsu and Wendy shouted.
"Damn them!" Flare roared.
'Thank you, Natsu. Wendy.' "Gemini!" she cried as the twin celestial spirits appeared and attacked Flare allowing Lucy to be freed.
"Gemini were using that move! So transform into me!"
"We haven't practiced that yet…"
"But if you insist…"
The two glowed before fusing together and transforming into Lucy.
In nothing, but a bathrobe.
….
….
….
….
….
Cue numerous nosebleeds from most of the males and some of the females.
"WHAT THE HELL?! WHY ARE YOU ONLY IN A BATHROBE?!" Lucy shouted at them with her entire face red from embarrassment.
Gemini scratched her head sheepishly.
Wendy just facepalmed. "It's because of stuff like this, that daddy believes she may enjoy flashing her body to everyone in the vicinity like a pervert."
'Still funny as shit he would say that about his own kid. Though evidence says it may be true with how much she loses her clothes.'
Back on the arena, The two Lucy joined hands and began a chant.
[Fairy Tail OST: Mahou Taisen]
"Measure the heavens, Open them Wide, All the stars of the heavens." Lucy began.
"Overflowing with the light, make thyself known to me." Gemini Lucy said.
Hibiki's eyes widen when he recognized the spell.
"That spell...she couldn't have?!" Hibiki said in shock.
"That's an impressive amount of magic." Ren commented.
"Using the gemini spirit in unison has increased the potency of the spell." Eve said.
"Sugoi Lucy, you already able to use this spell without my assistance. You truly have grown." Hibiki said, proud at what the Celestial Mage could now accomplish on her own.
The two Lucys continued to concentrate their magical energy among themselves.
"O Tetrabiblos for I hold Dominion over the stars…."
"Complete thy aspect."
'My magical power is still not good enough to do this on my own, and even with Gemini I can only bring out out a fraction of the spell's power compared to when I first use it against Angel.' Lucy thought to herself.
Flare was cowering fear. "What the hell are you?!" she shouted at Lucy.
'However…' Lucy thought as she opened her eyes to glare at her opponent.
'I'll show you what happens when you mess with my friends and my guild!'
Unknown to those two, the dark imp of Raven Tail got a sinister smile. However, things were NOT going to happen as anyone expected.
"Release thy Malevolent gate…."
"88 Stars of all Heavens…"
"SHINE…"
"URANO METRIA!"
A gigantic, golden magical seal appeared around the arena as it was showered in a flash of light. Suddenly a second, crimson seal appeared on the first one. Immediately the Fairy Tail mages could tell something was off as the light began to wane and became unstable as Lucy's magical energy began to deleplet rapidly. The dark imp continued to smirked evilly along with the rest of Raven Tail.
SWOOSH!
SKLEECH!
That died very quickly as the imp was impaled to the wall by a crimson blade of energy!
They all looked in shock before a flash from the unstable spells collapsed, which caused Lucy and Flare to fall down to the floor. Lucy fell due to the drain of her magical energy and the feedback from her unstable spell and Flare for the latter.
"Both contestants are down! It's a draw!" shouted Chapati.
The crowd was rather disappointed by the outcome, but nonetheless gave the two an applause for their performance.
"What an amazing performance! Wouldn't you say the same, Yajima-san?" he asked his fellow judge. However, the announcer paused to see Yajima's dark glare.
"Yajima-san?"
"LUCY!" Wendy and Natsu shouted as they race to the arena with Gray, and Erza not too far behind.
"What happened?! Lucy's attack was perfect!" Elfman shouted.
"Something suspicious happened." Mavis said.
"Someone tried to intervene from the outside." Makarov replied.
"Those dirty bastards!" Romeo gritted out.
"Although someone seemed to stop them for our behalf. We should be grateful." Makarov said before thinking, 'Was it you, Acnologia?'
Mavis had a huge smile, when she felt a familiar magic disappear.
'Thank you, fishy-niichan.'
"Ivan….are you trying to push us to an outside brawl, huh?!" Makarov gritted out as he glared as his son in the stands.
Team Fairy Tail A made it to Lucy. Flare was glaring at Lucy as she got up. She was about to open her mouth, but glares from Erza and Gray, and two very MURDEROUS glares from Wendy and Natsu caused her to pause before scoffing and walking away.
"Hey Lucy, how're you feeling?" Natsu asked.
Lucy looked up with her face, moist with tears.
"Gomen, everyone, I didn't win." she said sadly.
"Nonetheless you did an amazing job, even when they decided to cheat for their own gain." Erza said.
"Yeah, you were amazing." Gray continued.
"So save the tears when we win the title." Natsu said.
"So come on Lucy-chan, smile. It suits you better." Wendy said, hoping to cheer up her sister, even if she didn't know they were secretly related. Family was everything in Fairy Tail afterall. Blood related or not.
Lucy gave them the biggest smile she could which made her team smile in return.
The team got up after Wendy healed Lucy's burn and began walking back to their stands. As they were returning to the stands, Wendy's necklace glowed surprising her and her team. The necklace glowed for a few more seconds before it flashed for a few seconds, and then stopped. Wendy blinked before she got a huge smile on her face, confusing her team.
"Wendy, what happened with your necklace?"
"Did it have something to do with your father?"
Wendy beamed them a smile before she nodded before saying that she will explain it tonight with the rest of the guild. The rest of team nodded before they continued on their way; all of them wondering what did Wendy's dad do?
The next match was between Ren from Blue Pegasus and Risley Law from Mermaid Heel. The Battle was hard fought, but the match ended in a draw. Ren was slightly disappointed, but perked up when his wife, Shelly, said she'll get him a big reward for his tough fight making him get out of his depression. Everyone from Lamia Scale shooked their heads, except for Sherria, who giggled at her cousin's antics.
The following match was between Wave from Quatro Cerberus and Orga Nanagear from Sabertooth.
This one got everyone to look on with interest. Orga was known to be one of Sabertooth's top members, while Wave was also considered one of Quatro's best mages and the current leader of the team. The question was who will be the one to be victorious in this fight.
"Ohhh I like this guy's magic. Orga might be in for a tough fight." Sting said in excitement.
"Indeed, I remember hearing stories of Wave. The black knight against our saber of black lightning. I wonder who will be on top. What do you think, Yukino?" Dobengal asked.
Yukino blinked when Dobengal addressed her as she saw Sting also interested to hear her reply.
"Um, I have also heard that Wave-san could handle several dangerous beasts on his own. I even heard the rumor that his armor was made from the remains of a dangerous creature, but it was never confirmed what it was. Some say it was a dragon and others say it was a demon or some other danger beast."
The two men nodded, satisfied with the answer, although Sting looked a little more interested than before. Yukino wondered if Sting hoped that the armor was made from a dragon to give him a reason to fight and defeat him. She shook her head, it was not the time to analyze her teammates; she should focus on the fight. She turned her head when she saw Rogue walking away.
"Rogue-san, where are you going?" she asked.
"I have no interest in this fight." he replied as he continued to walk away. Yukino was about to call him again, but Sting put hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
"Forget it, Yukino. The pretty-emo boy only has interest in fighting Gajeel."
Yukino looked at Sting curiously.
"Aren't you the same with Natsu-san?" Sting just shrugged.
"I'll admit I want to fight Natsu Dragneel. But I know for a fact that there are several powerful mages that I'll need to face before I get my shot at Natsu. So I can wait a bit." he explained.
"If you two are done, you may want to walk up in front, since the match is about to start." Dobengal said to his two teammates.
The two nodded and walked forward to see Wave and Orga sizing each other up.
"Let's give it our best, Orga-san." Wave said politely.
"Let the third match START!" shouted Pumpkin-head.
Wave grasped the sword on his back and pulled it to reveal his short, black sword. Suddenly, Wave began to release an enormous amount of magical energy that enveloped him in a dark blue aura. Orga and several others had to widen their eyes at the massive energy that Wave was releasing!
"Holy shit! This guy could give you a run for your money Erza!"
"No kidding I never thought there would be someone like this from Quatro Cerberus."
"No I can tell, his power outranks mine. In fact I can tell he is probably just below Laxus in terms of raw power."
Back on the arena, Wave continued to release his magical energy as a navy blue magical seal appeared just below him.
"HERE I GO! GRAND CHARIOT!" Wave was then cover in a flash a light that blinded everyone. When the light died down everyone looked to see Wave completely different. He was now coated in a navy blue armor.
"The black knight, Grand Chariot. This is the first time I've seen up close, and it looks just like it feels...amazing. Orga better take this fight seriously." Dobengal said.
Orga grinned savagely. "Maybe this won't be as boring as I thought."
Wave made the first move when he launched forward to give Orga a right hook. Orga charged a large amount of magic in his right fist in the form of a black orb.
"Try and take this! Black Thunderball!" He thrust his arm forward, hurling the black orb straight to the armored teen. The orb connected and exploded in a small round dome of black lightning!
Everyone eyes widen at this, especially for certain mages of Fairy Tail.
"No way…" Lucy said.
"It's just like him." Gray said.
"The same magic as Zancrow." Natsu said in reluctance, remembering how annoying it was to fight him.
"He's a godslayer." Wendy said.
"Black lightning…." Laxus said with some excitement.
"I hate lightning," Lily said in a nervous tone.
"HEH too easy." Orga said as he began to walk away...only for the dome to break apart with Wave standing in the middle with no sign of damage on his body!
"What the FUC-" Orga was cut from his outburst as a fist implanted itself into his face and send him flying to the sandy ground.
"It's wise to watch what you say, Orga-san. Afterall we have children in the audience." Wave as he opened and closed the arm he used to punch Orga.
Orga got up with anger clearly in his eyes.
"How the HELL are you still standing?! That Black Thunderball had enough to kill an elephant!"
"My armor grants me not only enhanced physical abilities, but also limited resistances to elemental attacks, which means I barely felt that." Wave said even though inside his armor, his body was slightly aching from the attack. While it's true his armor does grant resistance to such attacks, there are limits to what it can handle. And elemental god slaying magic was one of the few elemental magics that can pierce through that resistance. He had to do his best to end this quickly or he was gonna be fired, and not in the good way.
"Ready for Round Two?" Wave motined to Orga, who now had two orbs of black lightning in his orbs.
Orga grinned like a maniac, "Show me what you got pretty boy!" he shouted as the two dashed towards each other. Orga launched two black thunderballs at Wave, who quickly jumped up into the air in an impressive show of speed and strength. Orga pointed his semi-closed palm at Wave as he generated electrical energy.
"1 Million Volt Vari!" he shouts as a large beam of black and yellow electricity at Wave, who managed to barely dodge by flying into the sky due to the high speed of the attack.
"You can stay up there all YOU want! You won't escape me!" he shouts arrogantly before firing several more Volt Varis at Wave, who manages to dodge each and every single one. Suddenly the skies above darkened in color making Wave look up with wide eyes as lightning began dance around the clouded sky.
"Try this! Black Judgement!" Orga shouted as several arcs of lightning descended on Wave. The navy knight was forced to dodge the fast approaching arcs along with dodging the Volt Varis that Orga continued to fire at him. This went on with several more minutes as Wave continued to dodge all of the attacks that came at him from all sides with little to time to breathe.
"HAHAHA. Dodge all you want, because sooner or later you're gonna have to stop and when you stop, I'm gonna fry you!"
"How long will Wave-san be able to avoid Orga-sans's attack before they finally hit his mark?!" Chapati announced to everyone.
Wave's eyes narrowed. He knew he couldn't keep this up forever before he finally makes a mistake and gets hit by the lightning or the beam attacks, and maybe even both. So it was time for a little payback. Wave maneuvered his body upwards before…..
BOOM!
In an impressive show of speed, Wave went sailing downwards like a speeding missile with only one target, Orga. Orga was covered in lightning before Wave's attack reached him, and then….
"Try this on for size! Grand Fall!"
BOOM!
A massive dust cloud enveloped the arena due to the impact of Wave attack. When the dust finally settled. There stood Wave and Orga glaring at each other with Orga covered in an aura of yellow and black lightning.
"Hmmm. I guess that's your spell called Thunder Coating?" Orga smirked.
"Yeah punk it is. Gives me increased reflexes, reaction time, etc. Now you won't be able to catch me." Orga said arrogantly before disappearing in a flash of lightning.
He suddenly appeared behind Wave about to deliver a devastating haymaker….had Wave not turned and caught the fist with both hands.
"What?!" Orga shouted in shock.
"Unable to catch you? I think you are mistaken." Wave said before delivering a hard fist to Orga's gut making him cough harshly before Wave delivered a swift roundhouse kick that sent Orga back a few meters.
"Stop playing around Orga." Wave shouted to Orga as he was getting up.
"If you don't take me serious. You will lose." Orga glared at the armored teen.
"Lose?! I AM ORGA OF SABERTOOTH! DEFEAT DOESN'T EXIST IN MY VOCABULARY!" Orga said as he was covered in lightning again and charged at Wave, who responded with equal ferocity. The two collided in two empowered fist before following that with a flurry of fists and getting hit by each one. Orga's pride had taken a shot and now he wanted to personally take Wave down, up close and personal.
Wave had little option, but take these attack head on and hit Orga with everything he had. Orga finally managed to push Wave back a few meters before bringing his hands together as a sphere of black lightning formed.
"2 Million Volt Vari!" Orga shouted as a beam twice the size of his 1 million fired from his palms and on a war path towards Wave. Wave got into a hoarse stance as he released as much magical energy as he could muster before he summoned a weapon to his hands….the sword form of Grand Chariot. Wave then condensed all the energy he summoned into the blade.
The beam was just about to collide with him before Wave shouted, "Grand Slash!" before swinging his sword down.
KABOOOOM!
Another explosion covered the arena.
"OHHHH! Another collusion between the two mages! What will be the outcome?!"
As the smoked cleared, the entire audience had to blink a few times before they all collectively dropped their jaws. Why you may ask?
Because Wave, with no visible injuries, was still standing with his sword in the ground. But the shocking part was that the areas on the either side of Wave were completely scorched black from the Volt Vari.
"Wave is still standing! And unharmed! What an amazing show of power!"
"Y-You couldn't have…" Orga said in disbelief.
"I have to say that was a rather dangerous attack. Had I not cut that attack, I would probably be out cold at this moment."
"EHHHHH?! Cut the the attack?! Does Wave mean he actually had enough power to actually split Orga's Volt Vari in half?!" Chapati shouted.
Wave chuckled as he stood up. He looked to see his arm shaking a bit.
'I can't hold out much longer. I can barely feel my arm after that attack. I need to end this as soon as possible.'
[Beyblade OST: Underdog]
Wave then disappeared in a burst of speed that created a sonic boom. Orga had little time to react as he was hit by a right hook from Wave. He then cocked his left arm and closed his fist as it was enveloped in magical energy.
"Grand Slam!" before inbetting his fist into Orga's gut. Orga coughed up spit and blood from the punch before he was sent flying back, tomboling all the way. Orga managed to stop and would have stood up, had Wave not appeared right in front and deliver another Grand Slam to his face before delivering a roundhouse kick that sent the lightning mage tomboling again. Wave appeared in front of Orga again and shouted, "Grand Barrage!" Orga was bombarded with countless punches and kicks that pushed him further and further back.
"This is bad, Orga-san might lose." Yukino said in concern.
"I wouldn't put him out just yet." Sting said.
"Indeed, this not the end." Dobengal said.
"Damn, I wish I could fight this guy!" Natsu said in a disappointed tone.
"Save that excitement for later." Gray retorted to the fire mage.
"This is a really insane fight." Lucy said, amazed at the armored mage's fighting capability.
'That Wave guy would be a great opponent.' Dark said to Wendy.
'Yeah odd, dad said nothing about some of these guys.' Wendy thought to her other half.
'He probably didn't know about every single member of every guild of Fiore. Plus he only focused on the guilds that had members that would directly confront us. Those being from Lamia Scale, Raven Tail, Mermaid Heel, and Sabertooth.' Dark replied.
'Yeah that sounds about right.' Wendy thought as she refocused her attention to her fight.
Wave continued to pummel Orga before suddenly had his arms caught by the wrists by Orga. Orga gave him a murderous look.
"You're gonna pay for that!" he shouted before he began releasing electrical power from his hand and began to electrocute Wave who scream in agony from the electrical pain. By the time he stopped Wave had steam come out of his armor due to the sheer intensity of the electricity used on him. Wave fell on his hands and knees coughing up blood badly.
"Wave is in danger." Lubbock said.
"Give him some time." Bulat said.
"C'mon Wave." Ajeel said.
Wave slowly got up. "I'm far from finished." he said in a slur.
Orga disappeared in a flash of lightning before Wave was sent flying. That is he would have been sent flying if Orga had not caught his leg and punched him into the ground before he began to continually slam Wave down for several minutes.
However Wave would not take this lightly as he twirled around, which released him from Orga's grasp. Orga tried to punch Wave, but Wave ducked under the fist before shouting, "Upward Slash!" as Orga flinched from the sudden counterattack before he gasp as he was cut in the gut.
"Don't underestimate me! Grand Kick!" he shouted but Orga held his ground before jumping in the air, and grasping his hands together as they cracked with electricity. He raised them before slamming them down in a double handed hammer strike, but Wave barely managed to dodge the attack as a giant tower of sand rose to the air. Orga then came out and tried to get a hold of Wave, but was outmaneuvered by the armored teen as he grabbed the outstretched arm and flipped Orga and sent him flying, but Orga coated himself in lightning before he landed on his feet. The two glared at one another before both glowed in spheres of magical energy before they once again collided against one another.
"What an exciting show of power! Who will be the one to win?!" shouted the announcer. Suddenly another explosion occurs in the center of the arena as Wave and Orga came out and landed a few feet from one another. The two were breathing heavily, but Wave seemed to be on his last legs.
"Oi brat!" he shouted as Wave lifted his head towards him.
"How about we finish this with the next attack?" Orga asked. Wave gasp as he tried to breathe as much as possible. He didn't have enough power to continue this fight any longer and he could barely maintain the armor. This was his last shot. He nodded to Orga who began he releasing a massive amount of magical energy. Everyone, minus Sabertooth, widen their eyes. They couldn't believe that Orga had this much power left. Wave stood tall.
'This is my last chance. If I go out...I'm going out fighting!' he thought before releasing unleashing a roar of defiance as his magical power was released. The two magical auras continued to collided with one another for dominance.
"Let's end this." Wave said in cold voice.
"I agree, brat." Orga said as he formed two giant orbs of electricity that were the size of Orga's forearms. Wave transformed his sword into a navy blue battle spear. He then began charging his magical energy into the spear as he began to be enveloped in a blue aura of power.
Wave crouched on all fours with the spear in hand as the spear continued to collect magical energy. Orga brought his two arms together as the orbs became one condensed sphere of electricity.
'NOW!' shouted Wave as he dashed at speeds that created another sonic boom as he was in enveloped in the aura of the spear.
"5 Million Volt Vari!"
"Grand Slasher!"
The two attacks collided one more time as the arena was sent in a gigantic explosion that sent sand and debri everywhere.
The smoke continued to bellow before letting up as two solluliates can be seen. By the time the smoke it can be seen that Orga was still standing, but Wave was not.
"Wave is down! The victor is Orga of Sabertooth!"
"Yeesh he had me worried there a few times." Sting said.
"Still the results of this show that we can't underestimate anyone." Dobengal said to the other two Sabertooth mages.
"Agreed." Yukino said.
"Damn that was hard fight." Natsu said.
"Yeah I kinda hoped Wave-san would win." Wendy said.
"So did I, but it was still an incredible fight to watch." Erza with admiration towards Wave's performance.
Laxus smirked in excitement. Looks like he found a rival to fight in these games.
"Awww Wave lost too." Lubbock said.
"It was a bad matchup." Ajeel said.
Orga grunted before walking away.
"Oi! You had us worried for a while there Orga!" Sting shouted towards the lightning mage.
Orga scoffed before walking away with Bulat going to the arena and picking up Wave to take him to the infirmary.
"Sorry." Wave muttered, but Bulat just smiled at the injured mage.
"Relax. We'll get them next time." he assured his leader before walking out the stadium.
"Now then let's get on with the last fight of the day! Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale vs….."
"Mystogan of Fairy Tail B!"
This got the attention of everyone in Fairy Tail. Mystogan was going out. That would mean this would be a battle between two mages that were recognized as Wizard Saints. Makarov hoped Mystogan could pull off a win, since this battle would not be simple or easy.
The two mages walked into the arena until they reached the center of the arena. The two mages giving each other impassive looks.
"I must admit in my hearts I would like Fairy Tail to win, however, as a mage, I represent my guild and must give you my all. Are you prepared to lose, Mystogan?" Jura said as he released a potent amount of his magical energy. Mystogan retaliated by releasing his own magical energy.
'To fight on Fairy Tail's behalf...nothing can make me happier.'
"I intend to win." Mystogan said.
"Let the last battle of the day BEGIN!"
Mystogan quickly unbuckles the belt on his shoulder before dashing forward. As he went straight to Jura, the staffs on his back began to float around him in an arc. Jura merely smirked as he lifted two fingers up as a magic seal appeared below Mystogan. The masked mage had little time to react as he jumped to the side as several pillars of rock rose up. Jura then moved his hand as more pillars rose up and all of them were aimed for Mystogan. Using quick maneuvers, he managed to dodge all of the incoming pillars.
With a flick of his wrist, Mystogan's staffs all landed in a circle around Jura. Mystogan brought his hands together to form a handsign. "Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song!" as Mystogan shouted those words, five magic seals appeared above Jura before he was bombarded with a powerful magical beam from the seals.
"Oh he learned Mystogan's magic, huh?" Laxus said, impressed at Jellal's resourcefulness.
"That's pretty skillful." Mirajane commented.
"Well at least he's taking the blending in to a whole new level." Gildarts said in a joking manner.
"Jura-san!" Sherria screamed in concern for her fellow guild mage.
"Relax Sherria. Jura will not fall that easily. Afterall in my humble opinion he's Fiore's strongest human mage." Lyon commented.
As if to prove his point, a giant rock fist came out of the dust with Jura appearing from the dust without as much as a scratch.
"Three Layered Magic: Mirror Water!" Mystogan shouted as a magic seal appeared in front of him as the stone fist collided with it, and causing it to be sent right back to Jura!
"He sent it back?!" Gray screamed in shock.
"Awesome!" Natsu hollered.
However, Jura merely smirked before waving his fingers again and sent the attack right back to Mystogan!
"He curved it around again?!" Happy shouted.
"What's going to happen?!" Natsu screamed.
This time the attack did hit Mystogan and sent him flying!
"SO STRONG! AS EXPECTED OF A MAGE CARRYING THE TITLE OF WIZARD SAINT!" Chapati shouted at the top of his lungs.
"That's right, Jura! Hurry up and deliver the finishing blow! Send him spinning!" screamed Ooba.
"She's spinning me! Someone save me!" shouted the poor random mage that she was spinning with everyone just pitying him before going back to the match.
'As expected using someone else's magic won't cut it with an opponent like him. Even if the magic is from another version of me. I need to use my magic if I intend to win this for Fairy Tail!' shouted Mystogan in his head.
Mystogan's eyes began to have a golden shine. This got everyone's attention.
"Meteor!" Mystogan shouted as he was enveloped in a golden aura before he blitzed towards Jura like a bullet.
Jura raises his hands again, "Iron Rock Wall!" he shouts as a rock wall appears in front of him, but Mystogan just dashes around it and lands a solid hit on Jura.
"HA!" Jura shouts as the Iron Wall breaks apart into several brick squares. He then maneuvers the rocks to attack the flying mage. Mystogan manages to avoid some of the flying debris, but some landed there marks and caused Mystogan to start falling back to the arena. However, instead of looking distress, Mystogan looked rather calm.
"I made it in time." he muttered, but Jura noticed something was off and he looked up to see a constellation pattern above him!
"A magic array in the sky?!"
"When did he have time to do this?!"
"Did he do it while dodging the attacks?!"
Mystogan landed gracefully on the arena and looked at Jura.
"Be judged by the seven stars! Grand Chariot!"
The seven seals glowing before firing concentrated beams of energy of Jura. However, Jura was not deterred and simply clasped his hands together and shouted, "Rock Mountain!" as a giant armored titan of stone rose from the sand and took the attack as the arena was filled with dust and debri.
Everyone was in awe at the battle that was taking place before them. It was like a battle between two wizard saints! Little did they know that's was exactly what they were witnessing.
'I see. I now know your true identity. It seems that you were not completely frank with me, Makarov.' Jura thought in amusement.
'I can't lose here. I must win for Fairy Tail!'
Jura smiled at Mystogan.
"It's been a long time since I've had an opponent like you. Perhaps it's time I stop holding back."
Jura said before giving Mystogan a very ominous look as he released even more magical power. Mystogan and the audience's eyes widen as they felt the magical power being released by the wizard saint.
"Hoho! Jura seems to be taking this battle seriously as he begins to release his magical power!" Chapati said.
"It's been a long time since I felt Jura release this much power. I think the last time was during the trials of crowning a wizard saint." Yamaji commented.
"That shows how much of opponent Mystogan is to Jura." Jenny added her own two cents to the conversation.
"I don't believe it. Jura's power could easily be on par with Gildarts at this point." Makarov said.
"Holy crap thats some power?!" Gajeel in shock as he felt slightly intimidated by the magical pressure he was feeling.
"His power could actually rival my own." Gildarts muttered, though one could see the small smile of excitement he had at finding someone that could give him a challenge and 'Mystogan' also seemed like a good candidate as well.
"From this point onwards, Mystogan will struggle if he doesn't take this seriously as well." Mirajane said.
"Be careful, Jellal." Erza whispered to herself.
A magic circle appeared below Jura as rock debri began collecting around him.
The debri collected around his arms and legs as a second layer of skin. Six spikes formed on Jura's back; three on each side of his back.
"Rock magic: Iron Rock Armor." Jura said in a dark tone.
"There it is folks! I never thought we would see this so soon! The power that gave Jura his nickname in the wizard saints, The Iron Rock Armor!"
"Victory is now assured. Nothing can stop Jura once he dons his armor." Lyon said.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Sherria said as her teammates look at her strangely.
"You think Jura could lose?" Yuka asked in a confused tone.
"The fact that Jura had to use this armor means that his opponent isn't someone we should underestimate." Sherria explained with her teammates skeptical, but nodded to her knowledge.
Back in the arena, Mystogan gave his adversary a critical eye. His magical power was incredible. The rock that surrounded his body were definitely not for show. His body was not only protected, but now will have even more destructive power in the physical and magical aspect. This meant that the kid gloves were coming off.
"Are you prepared, Mystogan?" Jura asked.
Mystogan responded by flaring his magical power as he was enveloped in a golden aura. Jura smirked in retaliation. Jura slammed his foot in the ground as several spikes of earth rose heading straight to the masked mage.
"Meteor!" As the masked masked jumped into the air to dodge the assault.
"That won't save you this time! Thousand Rock Barrage!" Jura shouted as an enormous seal appeared before hundreds of Rock fists went after Mystogan.
"Pleiades!" Mystogan shouted as six rays of light fell from the heaven and collided with the rocks fists causing a massive explosion. However, several fists survived the explosion and continued their assault on Mystogan and the masked mage was forced to maneuver around and parry several of the fists. However, one managed to get behind him and slammed into him.
Mystogan grunted as he fell slightly down. He was about to destroy the rock structure before Jura appeared above him with his hands together and slammed them down on Mystogan's defenseless head as he was sent tumbling down before falling down into the arena with a giant…...
BOOM!
"MYSTOGAN!" shouted everyone from Fairy Tail, the loudest being Erza. Jura then commanded the fist to descend on the downed mage. However, before they could strike, all of them were destroyed by several blades of electricity. When the dust cleared, there stood a slightly beaten and bloody Mystogan with nine blades of electricity around his back. "Jiu Leixing." he muttered. Jura just smiled as he descended into the arena.
"I must say I've haven't enjoyed a battle like this in a long time. I must thank you for this entertainment." Mystogan smiled in return.
"Likewise." as he got ready for the next attack from Jura.
"Then let us continue." Jura said as a different magic seal appeared before him. Jura flicked his arms forward, but instead of rock, MOLTEN MAGMA came out of the magic seal like a current heading straight for Mystogan. Mystogan and the rest of the audience's eyes widen at the spectacular feat, except for Lamia Scale that were just smiling in victory. Jura was finally showing his more powerful abilities.
"Holy-! Jura summoned a wave of lava! How will Mystogan respond?!" screamed Chapati.
Mystogan acting quickly he crossed his arm together and began to gather magical power around his arms as a magic seal appeared in front of him.
"Hey isn't that?" Natsu asked, recognizing the attack as a black sphere began to appear in the middle of the seal.
"Yes, Natsu. It's the same spell from the Tower of Heaven." Erza confirmed.
"It seems he has improved the delay to charge it now." Wendy said.
"Will it be enough?" Lucy asked.
"Let's hope so." Erza muttered.
"Altairis!" Mysogan shouted as a giant, black sphere was launched; heading straight for Jura.
As it traveled towards Jura, it began to absorb the lava in its own gravitational force. However, Jura smirked. "I knew you could handle that, which is why I prepared two aces for you. Molten Rock Mountain!" Jura shouted as another rock giant formed, only this time being formed of magma and actually enveloping Jura as the gravity sphere closed in. Mystogan was about to brace himself for the explosion when he was suddenly enveloped in a shining blue light. He looked down and his eyes widen when he saw a magic circle below him.
"Oh shi-"
"Rumbling Mt. Fuji!" shouted Jura from his golem as Mystogan's attack made contact.
Two massive explosions enveloped Mystogan, Jura and a portion of the arena around them.
"Oh dear, Mystogan and Jura were both captured in the explosions. How will this battle end? Will be the end for the Iron Rock of Lamia Scale or the Masked Mage of Fairy Tail?"
Both guilds were worried for their respective members. When the smoke cleared with both mages standing on one knee each and breathing heavily.
"HOHO! Jura and Mystogan are still standing! The match still continues, but for how long?!" Chapati shouted.
"Not for long. Both took heavy damage from that last attack. Not to mention all the energy they have used in this fight. I have a feeling this will be decided with the next attack." Yamaji said.
Jura stood up in his tattered clothes, although his legs were shaking. "I believe it's time we end this end fight. Wouldn't you say Mystogan?"
Mystogan also got up with his cloak completely gone and his mask was barely hanging on. He needed to end this now. He looked up to give Jura the most determined glare he could muster.
"I agree." he said.
Jura collected molten rock around his body like he did with his Iron Rock Armor.
"Molten Rock Armor." he muttered. Mystogan began to emit a yellow and blue aura.
[Saint Seiya OST: Pegasus]
"Jura, let me show you, the true power of Heavenly Body Magic." he said as he began to move his arms and body in fluid motion that entranced, but also confused the audience. Just what was Mystogan planning? Jura could feel Mystogan's magical energy steadily rise as he continued his movement. The power seem to concentrate around his hands and he swore he saw the outline of a winged horse behind Mystogan. Not taking any chances, Jura dashed hoping to end this with his next attack. Mystogan then gained a glint in his eyes.
"Here I go! Pegasus Ryu-Sei-Ken!" Mystogan shouted as Jura was bombarded with hundred of magically empowered fisted that collided with multiple areas of his body causing to grunt in pain. His molten armor was ripped off his body. Mystogan felt his arms burning, but pushed it away as he continued to hit Jura with everything he had. The last fist collided with Jura's abdomen as he was pushed a few meters away from Mystogan.
Jura coughed a mouthful of blood as he staggered from the attack. He looked to see Mystogan aslo stagger due to the burns he received from the Molten armor.
Jura smiled at the masked mage. "Well done." was all he could say before he collapsed to the ground.
….
….
….
….
….
….
For several minutes there was an uncomfortable silence, before it was replaced with loud cheering and applause.
"Its over people! The winner of the last match of the day is Mystogan of Team Fairy Tail B!"
"He did it!" Mirajane shouted.
"Never had any doubt." Laxus said.
"Looks like things are looking up for us." Gajeel commented.
"Grandma Ooba has fainted!" shouted a random mage from Lamia Scale.
"Well I didn't expect that out." Lyon with a shocked look on his face.
"Neither did I. Fairy Tail is really strong." Sherria said.
"Indeed they are. But that can be good for us." Lyon with an excited smirk. Everyone turned to him in confusion and shock.
"How so?" Yuka asked.
"Simple. This will make the games much more exciting for us. You may soon be participating Sherria. So get ready to them your strength." Lyon told the dark pink haired mage. Sherria saluted the ice mage.
"Yes Lyon-san!" she shouted as everyone just chuckled at her antics.
"Ha I wasn't worried for a second." Natsu said.
"Is that why you were sweating for a while." Gray commented with a smirk.
"Shut it Ice-queen." was Natsu's retort.
"It's a good thing he won, right Erza?" Lucy before she noticed that Ezra. The team looked around until they found her already down in the arena helping Mystogan up.
"You don't have to worry so much." Mystogan said.
"Bullshit. You have second degree burns on your hands and parts of your forearms. We need to get you to the infirmary so Wendy and Porlyusica can heal you." Erza said in tone of finallity to the discussion.
"Alright, Alright. You really are impossible to argue with." he retorted. Erza just giggled.
"When it come to you, any argument is null and void." she said. The two fell into a comfortable silence as she walked away from the stadium. As they were walking through the halls, Erza spoke again.
"Thank you for fighting for us and for the win. You were amazing." she said. Mystogan nodded.
"I should be the one saying thank you." he said.
The walked in content silence as the crowd continued to cheer.
"That's it for the first day of the GMG, come back tomorrow for the next exciting days of the games!"
[Later on in the night.]
Everyone was now relaxing in their guild's lounge after celebrating their performance in the games. Natsu was boasting that tomorrow he'll participating tomorrow with Gajeel also going to participate to compete against Natsu. However, the stars of the night were Wendy and Mystogan. Wendy for her amazing performance in the games, and Mystogan for the hard fought victory against Jura.
Although the festivities were slightly ruined when Bacchus crashed in. He proceeded to challenge Gildarts and Cana to a drinking contest, which they accepted rather other tried to warn him of how much of bad idea this was, but he ignored them. Everyone thought that Gildarts and Cana were going to win this easily. So imagine everyone's surprise when both Cana and Gildarts are both knocked out drunk with Bacchus still conscious and still gulping another jug of alcohol.
Everyone was in shocked since they have never seen either of the two ever lose in a drinking contest. Bacchus proceeded to take Cana's bra as his trophy. Wakaba and Macao tried to attack Bacchus, but were easily taken care of. After trading some small banter with Erza, he left with the parting words, that Quatro Cerberus will not be holding back anymore.
Now we have everyone (including Jellal/Mystogan, Ultear and Meredy) back at the guild's hotel lounge to discuss the events of the first day. When discussion came to Lucy's fight and the intervention that occurred along with Dobengal's words, all eyes turned to Wendy.
"Well Wendy you promised you would explain yourself." Erza said. Wendy sighed before standing up and making sure all the doors are locked and then placed several seals on the walls before going back to her seat and taking out another seal and slamming her hand on it. This caused the seal to glow with the other four as well. The seals pulsed for a few seconds before they stopped.
Everyone looked at Wendy questioningly.
"Silencing seals. Making sure only the guild and the rest of us will hear this." Everyone nodded, but still a bit confused with all the secrecy.
"What do you want to know first?" she asked, wanting to get this done as soon as possible.
"What did that flash of your necklace mean, Wendy?" Lucy asked.
"My father made improvements to the necklace, allowing him to transfer memories to me and vice versa." Wendy explained.
"I saw how he was actually watching the games, but when Lucy was getting cheated out of her victory he attacked the same imp that tried to drain me of my energy; he then disappeared and you know the rest."
Everyone nodded at the explanation, although impressed that the man possessed such skill with sealing and rune magic. Freed was taking notes and hopes to discuss with this man at a later point for some advice on his magic.
"We'll have to thank him for the assist at some point." Makarov said with everyone else nodding in agreement. Erza then turned her attention back to Wendy.
"Now let's talk about your training Wendy." Erza said. Wendy sighed, this was gonna be a long night.
"What would you like to know?" Wendy said. This time Natsu spoke up.
"My question has to do with something you said." he said.
"You said that your dad trained you in your dragonslayer magic. But that shouldn't be possible."
"Why do you say that, Natsu?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"It's just that. Wendy's dad should not have been able to complete or even help with her dragonaslayer magic. Not unless he had extensive knowledge of dragonslayer magic. And there is only one way."
This got everyone's eyes to widen as they quickly understood, what Natsu was impling.
"Y-Y-You don't mean-" Lucy asked in a stuttered voice.
"Yeah, Wendy's dad is a dragonslayer." Natsu said said before looking at Wendy. "Right?"
Wendy sighed 'Well there goes skeleton Number 1.' Dark said.
"Yes Natsu, you are correct. My father is a dragonslayer."
Everyone was left stunned to hear another dragonslayer was out there, and this other dragonslayer was Wendy's FATHER, which raised even more questions about the mysterious man.
"Another dragonslayer." Wakaba said.
"That makes….what? Seven dragonslayers that we know about?" Macao asked.
"Eight if you include Cobra." Natsu said.
'Actually more like 9 if you include Aunt Irene, but I will not mention her yet. I'm not ready for that conversion and it's not my story to tell.' Wendy thought to herself.
'Yeah, they don't need to know that yet.' Dark said.
'How much should I tell them?' Wendy asked Dark.
'Give them enough info on dad and his background to satisfy their curiosity for now, then HE can fill in about the rest.' Dark said.
'Hai.' Wendy replied.
"So Wendy who was the dragon taught your father?" Natsu asked.
"The dragon that taught my father was one that I can guarantee Igneel and Metalicana mentioned to both of you on more than one occasion." Wendy said, which raised some eyebrows on Natsu and Gajeel and confusion from everyone else.
"My father's dragon was the Black Energy Dragon, Thoron and later on his mate, Saphira, The Blue Saphire Dragon." Wendy said. Natsu's and Gajeel's eyes widen to the size of dinner plates
"THORON AND SAPHIRA?!" both teens shouted. Everyone looked eve more confused as to why they were so shocked.
"Guys why are you so shocked who are Thoron and Saphira?" Lucy asked.
"They are the two dragons that Igneel mentioned all of the time. Hell he made damn sure to drill it into my head to always know their names and their titles." Natsu said, with Gajeel nodding in agreement.
"I can vouch with Salamander's claim. Metalicana was the same way with me." Gajeel said. Wendy nodded.
"As expected. Our dragons would want us to know about the Dragon King and his queen." Wendy said.
"DRAGON KING?!" everyone shouted.
"Yes my father was taught by The Dragon King, Thoron, which makes him their heir and my father The Dragonslayer King, and the true Dragon King of this era." Wendy said.
'Well there goes Skeleton Number 2.'
Everyone took some time to digest the information they were told. Wendy's father was not only a dragonslayer, but he was also the raised by the Dragon King, which makes him the strongest of all the dragonslayers; The Dragonslayer King. It was a lot to take in such a short amount of time.
'Don't know if that make feel better or more terrified of who the hell I was actually facing.' Gildarts thought as he was conflicted on how to feel. On the one hand, he survived an encounter with the Dragon King; on the other hand, he was terrified that Naruto beat him and the rest of my guild without even trying. Which made him pale as he morbidly wondered what Acnologia's true power looked like. He REALLY hoped Fairy Tail never became the receiving end of that power. Little did he know, Makarov was thinking the same thing.
'Now I definitely want to meet this Dragonslayer King in person.' Laxus thought in excitement. Like the others he was skeptical about Wendy's boast about her father being the strongest of Fiore. He heard her boasts in the guild months ago due to his enhanced hearing, but said nothing, since it had nothing to do with him. Although as he looked at his grandfather and Gildarts, he knew something was off with them. They had similar looks three months ago. He was definitely gonna look into that later.
'No wonder Wendy spoke so highly of her father. Natsu and Gajeel are already powerful on their own and Laxus is above them without his dragonslayer powers, and with them he's an absolute monster. But that begs the question of what kind of monster is Wendy's father?' Lucy thought with an understandable amount of fear. She had first hand experience of how destructive a dragonslayer can be. So to hear there is an alpha that makes the others look like toddlers is rather terrifying.
'The more we learn about him, the more questions seem to pop up.' Erza screamed in with an understandable amount of frustration in her head.
Jellal looked at his two companions in slight concern as to why they have never heard of this man before this. It was rather unsettling that someone so powerful was a complete mystery.
Oh if only their naive minds knew.
"Wendy now that we know that you were trained by another dragonslayer, maybe you can tell us about the training?" Mirajane asked.
"I told you guys. It could make anything Erza has thrown at you look like a summer daycare camp." she replied. Although she could tell some of them still did not buy her claim.
"Come on Wendy it can't be that bad." Lucy said. Her father couldn't be that crazy, right?
Wendy just nervously giggled at them. "Alright if you won't believe. I will just show you."
She then activated her storage seal to summon a slip of paper. Seeing their looks, she explained.
"Tou-san taught me some storage seals so I can have anything I'll ever need at all times. He even taught me some basic requip magic to have additional clothes whenever I will need them."
She then showed them the slip with an intricate seal written on it with ink with the kanji in the center being Memory.
"This a memory projection seal. It allows someone to show someone a particular memory to someone else. Dad gave me this in case I ever needed it. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he anticipated this conversation occuring. He always like being ahead of the enemy and having contingencies for them."
Wendy contemplated what memory she could show that won't traumatize her friends.
'Any ideas for what memory to use on them.'
'How about the day before you took your trial to achieve Dragon Force. That is the one of the least brutal days you had with dad. Also keep dad's face a secret for now. So it'll be a surprise when they meet him.'
'Good idea.'
"Okay, braced yourselves." she said before slamming her hand on the seal.
"Memory Seal Projection."
Suddenly an orb appeared above Wendy's head the size of a large beach ball. The image then showed a memory of Wendy and a man with a cloak covering her head. For the next several minutes they were all greeted to the entirety of what Wendy's training entailed for her. By the end of the memory everyone had turn a very noticeable shade of gray.
"Oh my god…" Mirajane began.
"T-T-That w-was…" Lucy continued.
"INSANE!" everyone in the room screamed.
'There goes Skeleton Number 3.'
"What the hell is wrong with him, Wendy?!" Erza shouted at her in shock and rage.
Wendy simply shrugged.
"Eh."
"That's your only answer?!" everyone shouted again, which cause Wendy to wince from the volume.
"Guys I know it looks bad, but it could have been worse." she said.
"HOW?!" they all screamed again.
"Well I did not get any lacerations or gashes over my body. I didn't get my ribs broken or bruised or any of my internal organs bruised. I got no black eye, no busted lip, no dislocated or broken jaw. Oh there's also-" Wendy continued to list off several more injuries she could have received as the color of her friends drained even further until they were so pale white that they could be seen through,
"Wendy STOP!" everyone shouted.
"Huh?" she asked before seeing the state of her friends. She blushed before scratching the back of her head.
"Whoops, did I go a little too far?"
"A LITTLE?!" they shouted. This was seriously becoming a reoccurring thing along with the prolonged silence.
"Wendy, why are you so calm about all this?! Your father could have killed you with what he did to you?! What the hell was he thinking?! Does that man not know about restraint?!" Erza shouted in outrage. Wendy sighed just knowing this reaction was expected. She warned them, but they wouldn't listen. Now she had to do some crowd control.
"Erza, my father was always worried about going too far. But I was the one that asked him to push me to my limit. And if that meant breaking me then I told him to do it." she said with a tone of finality.
This shocked and slightly horrified them. Why would Wendy go to this extend to train?
"Wendy, I don't understand why go so far?" Lucy asked in concern. Wendy bit her lips as her hands curled into fists as she began to tremble slightly.
Everyone got concerned when she didn't speak for a while.
"Wendy?" Erza asked in concern.
"Because I was sick and tired of being a burden to everyone!" she finally said. Her sudden outburst caught everyone off guard before they gained confused looks. A burden? Wendy? Why would she ever think she was a burden?
"What do you mean Wendy?" asked Mira in a concerned motherly tone. She wanted to know why one of their youngest members would think so lowly about herself.
"I meant exactly what I said. I was so weak compared to the rest of you! All of you are incredible mages and yet I was always falling behind. I always ended up on the ground watching someone else do the fighting like a weak, helpless child! I was sick and tired of being the damsel in distress that needs to be rescued by everyone! And I was tired of being treated like a child by all of you!" she ranted off to them.
Everyone was left speechless by this. How long had Wendy been thinking like this? Hell, how long have they ignored the signs? But they never saw her as burden in any of the fights. In fact she was one of the most important members to their teams and guild as a whole!
"Wendy we never thought of you as a burden." Erza said.
"Yeah who could have saved us without your healing magic. You're the best support we could ask for. Remember how you save Erza when she was poisoned or when you helped everyone in the fight in Edolas and with Hades ." Lucy also joined in trying to cheer the bluenette up. Without her healing and support spells, many of them would not be here if it wasn't for Wendy.
"What good is being a support if they are knocked away in a few seconds. A field support/medic that's beaten in one hit is a useless one! That's why I made sure to make my dad train me to the ground and break my limits. I made him promise he would hold nothing back and my dad had little choice in the matter.
This got everyone concerned. What did she mean by that?
"Wait, what do you mean not have a choice?" Erza with some trepidation.
"My dad swore a blood dragon oath." Wendy simply said.
Everyone else was confused by this, but the faces of Natsu and Gajeel paled white while Mavis's face got more serious.
"Oh shit, Wendy." Natsu said.
"Kid you really were trying to get yourself killed." Gajeel muttered in concern. Sure he was an asshole most of the time, but he does care about his fellow dragonslayers. Even Salamander. Although he would never say that aloud. Everyone looked at the two dragonslayers, and got even concerned about this oath.
"What are you guys talking about?" Gray asked. Hoping one of the two would explain what's the big deal with this blood oath. But seeing the faces of the two, Gray and the others could tell it was something serious.
"A dragon blood oath is the most sacred oath that any dragon or dragonslayer can make to someone." Natsu said with Gajeel nodding.
"If that person that makes fails to hold it, they are cursed in life and will endure eternal pain and suffering in the afterlife." Gajeel finished.
This got everyone to look at Wendy in shock. Her father went to such dangerous lengths for her? But what was her father trying to prove to her.
"Wendy, why would your father go so far?" Mira asked. Wendy gained a small smile on her face.
"Because he wanted to show how sincere he was of being honest to me." Wendy replied.
Well that was some way of showing how sincere you are, thought everyone in the guild. Romeo then noticed something about the memory.
"Hey Wendy, I have been wondering where exactly are you guys training?" he asked, which got the attention of everyone. Where were they training?
"Yeah where are you guys? I never seen a place like that." Gray commented, since he never seen a forest or a sky like that in his travels around Fiore. The looks he saw from everyone else meant they thought the same thing.
Wendy sighed, knowing the next outburst to occur.
"That is called the Bloody Forest. It's a place my father likes to go to in the Makai."
….
….
….
…..
…..
…..
…..
'3...2...1..' Wendy mentally counted.
"EHHHHHHH?!" everyone shouted.
'Four skeletons and counting!' Dark shout gleefully, which made Wendy mentally sweatdrop.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN MAKAI?!" everyone shouted/asked Wendy. Said just scratched the back of her head.
"I meant exactly that. My dad opened a portal to hell and we trained there for three months in earthland time, but in hell that is actually a whole year."
Everyone's jaw dropped at that. Wendy had actually trained for an entire YEAR in hell?!
"Wendy that was reckless of him, why would he take you there?!" Erza shouted, and received a glare from Wendy in return.
"Considering my teammates left me on my own for three months, I had little options in who I can train with." This cause her entire to flinch, realizing they had practically alone with no one to train. Wendy sighed when she saw the looks of her team. Perhaps that was a low blow.
"Guys cheer up. I'm not mad anymore. I know it wasn't your fauly. I'm just a little more riled up than normal. While it was reckless to some extent, my father knew what he was doing. Plus training there, helped me a great deal."
"Speaking of your training. Can you tell us about shinobi training?" Mira, hopin to change the topic back to the reason for this meeting. Wendy looked grateful to the change in topic.
"What would like to know first?" Wendy asked.
"Well where did you dad learn to be a ninja?" Natsu asked.
"My dad learn to be a ninja from his home village. Its was known as Konoha or the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Wendy said, although everyone notice how she spat the word, but decided to leave that for later.
"I never heard of place like that." Freed said.
"That's because it doesn't exist in this world."
"Wait, this world?!" everyone shouted.
"Are you saying your dad is from Edolas?" Happy asked, since that was the only other world they knew. Wendy shook her head.
"No my dad is from a separate world from Earthland and Edolas known as the Elemental Nations."
This got everyone's attention. They were about to learn about another world, so they leaned to listen on what Wendy had to say.
"What's it like there?" Lucy asked. Wendy sighed, knowing this was gonna get ugly really quickly.
"Well the world is broken into several countries. The largest of the five countries had the largest villages. Konoha was within Fire Country. Shinobi were the military force of the village and the country. They began training at very early age like 5 or 6. Although my dad started late due to reasons."
This caused everyone's eyes to widen in horror.
"Wait your father was a child soldier?!" Mira asked in horror. Wendy nodded.
"Yeah; both of my birth parents were shinobi. It was a everyday thing to be honest."
"Wendy, how can you be so calm about this?! Why would they do that to mere children?!" Erza shouted. What heartless monsters would train children to be soldiers! Erza and several others felt this was too close to home to their less than stellar childhood.
"Erza, like I said that was the norm in the Elemental Nation. Unlike here, war was a constant occurrence over there. Even when there was no war all of them were in a cold war stand off even with their own allies due to resources. Death, torture, massacre, invasions, assassinations, rape, experimentations, and any other astrocity you can think up occurred over there. And by the way that age range I gave was normal protocol for peaceful times. During war times, it was common for children as young as Asuka to be drafted and then sent into the battlefield when they were half my age. Shinobi were expected to fight and risk their lives for the village they represented and if necessary make the ultimate sacrifice for their village to obtain victory."
Needless to say, everyone felt greatly disturbed and disgusted at they were hearing. Children being drafted into a war and to kill and being prep to sacrificed themselves for their village. Bica held Asuka (who was asleep through all this) much tighter in her arms. She was horrified that children as young as her daughter were forced to kill and even die in a war. She would die before she'll let anyone do that to her daughter! Makarov was also horrified to hear this. He knew Acnologia's backstory would not be for the faint of heart. So the idea of him being a child soldier should not be too surprising. But it was still a hard pill to swallow. Something he could see none of children have fathom before. It had been since the last war was waged in Fiore. So for people who have lived in peace for so long, war was a foreign concept.
"Is that part of what Dorgenbal meant about the darkside of being a ninja?" Lucy asked quietly.
Wendy nodded.
"Gods, Wendy. Why would you want to be any part of it? Did your father force you?" Gray asked, only to get a very heated glare from Wendy that caused him to slightly flinch remembering the day she came back from killing those mages from Raven Tail.
"My father did NOT force me into anything! I was the one who demanded to be trained like a shinobi." she replied.
"But why Wendy?! Why go through all that?!" Lucy in horror. Why would she willing go through all that, what did she gain from this?
"Because I wanted to understand my parents. I wanted to get an understanding of what they both went through, and it was my way of honoring them. For the sacrifices they made for themselves and for me. I owed them that much at least." she replied.
For a while, there was pregnant silence between everyone as they digested what they heard. Natsu finally broke the silence due to curiosity and his own impatience.
"Wendy I have one question to ask about your dad? What happened to his dragon and does he know about the ours?"
"His parents have sadly passed on a very long time ago. As for our dragons…..he knows where they are." she finally said with some reluctance.
…..
….
….
….
….
...
...
…..
'Well just to let you know there are six Skeletons blasting away!' Dark cackled with Wendy just sweat-dropping at Dark's antics.
There was a long silence as Natsu and Gajeel were frozen stiff. Everyone looked in concern at the two dragonslayers.
"What?" Natsu finally whispered. Wendy sighed.
"I said my dad knows exactly where the dragons that taught us dragonlsayers went to 14 years ago." The moment Wendy finished her sentence she was lifted up by Natsu as he shook her violently.
"Where?! Where are they Wendy?! Tell me!" Natsu shouted at her. Gray and Gajeel did their best to pry Natsu off of Wendy.
"Get off of her, Salamander and let her talk!"
"He's right Flame-brain, calm down!"
"Not until she tells me!" Wendy finally getting sick of being shaken, glared at Natsu.
"Natsu, let me go! I don't know!" she roared as she shoved him off with Gajeel and Gray holding him from grabbing her again.
"You just said-"
"I said my father KNOWS! He explained that he finally figured out where they were all this time."
"He told me to be patient and he'll tell me and the rest of the dragonslayers what happened to our dragons on July 7th." she explained.
Natsu and Gajeel both took long breathes as they let this information sink in.
"Y-You mean…."
"Yes at the end of the GMG, all five of us will know where our dragons went to."
Natsu and Gajeel couldn't help themselves as they began to shiver in excitement. After searching for years they now have a lead on their foster parents. Many of the guild members looked in concern at the dragonslayers. The most prominent being Lucy, Levy, Lisanna, and several others.
The silence was interrupted by a scoff from Carla.
"And pray...how do you know he did not lie to you." she said cynically. She was met with a very heated glare from Wendy.
"I know he wasn't lying because that was one of the promises he made under the blood oath."
Gajeel then noticed something Wendy said.
"Wait, what do you mean all five of us?"
"I was including the dragons from the two from Sabertooth." she explained.
"Wait they said that they killed their dragons and as they became true dragonslayers"
"My father says that the dragons altered their memories for them to think they killed them. Dad says that it was to get them to be mentally ready to fight the real thing."
'And that worked spectacularly!' Dark sarcastically replied.
"Well that worked spectacularly. Since those two are nothing more than arrogant assholes." Natsu retorted.
'HA!' Wendy snorted at Natsu's quip and Dark's response to it.
"That is nothing more than the arrogance of the third generation dragonslayers. They get instant access to Dragon Force and they think that makes them invincible." Wendy said.
"WAIT WHAT!? DRAGON FORCE?!" everyone shouted.
"Yeah tou-san explained that is the special attribute of third generation dragonslayers. They have instant access to Dragon Force and can activate it at will, and it makes them believe their better than the rest of us. But I can tell you that is a load of bull, since if you don't train to truly master the power of Dragon Force than it will become you're greatest weakness."
Everyone nodded with that logic, since a mage needed to practice their magic at any moment they, so could have complete control over it, and have all its benefits and zero negatives. Stopping once you achieve your strongest power/form will only lead you to falling behind in your magic and as a mage.
"Besides fourth generation dragonslayers like my father are much stronger than those two." Wendy commented.
Everyone's eye nearly popped out of their eyes.
'Hehehe. I wonder if this will be the last skeleton.' Dark commented.
'I really hope so.'
"There's a fourth generation?!" everyone shouted.
"What are the conditions for it?" Natsu asked excitingly.
"Sorry guys, I'm not telling you. I promised daddy I would keep my lips tight about it, except for mentioning it."
"Awwww." Natsu whined, but didn't budge as he understood Wendy's loyalty to her father.
"So do we plan to tell those two about their dragons?" Levy asked. Lucy shook her head.
"No way. They'll never believe us. They'll think we're trying to mess with their heads."
Natsu just slammed his fists together as they were enveloped in flames with a huge grin.
"Then we'll just kick their asses and make them listen!"
'Talk and if they don't listen, punch their lights out! That's the Fairy Tail way!' Dark said in mock-Makarov voice.
'Hush you!' Wendy said in amusement.
"Alright, I think that's enough for tonight. Let's head to bed." Makarov announced. Everyone nodded. This had been a long conversation and they needed to sleep on this info dump they got.
"Natsu! Gajeel! Wait!" Wendy called out to the two as she got two papers out and handed them to the two dragonslayers.
The two looked at the seal curiously.
"What are these?" Gajeel asked. Wendy smiled.
"These are anti-motion sickness seals. They stop a person from getting motion sickness. So if tomorrow's even is on some form of transportation, you won't be affected."
Both Natsu's and Gajeel widen to dinner plates. They found a solution to their motion sickness! They finally won't have to be hindered by that stupid weakness. They quickly enveloped Wendy in a bear hug with tears falling down her eyes like waterfalls.
"WENDY, THANK YOU! YOU ARE OUR ANGEL OF SALVATION!" they shouted in unison. Wendy blushed as she laughed at their antics along with the rest of my guild.
"Alright let the girl breathe." Erza told the two with an amused smile. The two let go, but frowned at the seals. Wendy saw the looks and got curious.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
"Well, wouldn't this be considered cheating? I mean technically we'll have an advantage?"
Erza shook her head. "Not necessarily. I mean you just be competing on even grounds with everyone else."
"I'll leave it up to you boys whether you'll use it or not. I'll respect your decision." Makarov said.
The two boys nodded in acceptance and said they'll give their answers tomorrow. Wendy had discretely asked if Laxus wanted one, but he rejected it, but told her he appreciated the gesture. Wendy then deactivated the seals as everyone began to prepare to walk out. Suddenly as Carla was about to walk out with Wendy, she flinched as she clutched her head in pain. Happy noticed this and immediately came to her aid.
"Carla what's wrong?" Happy said, which got everyone's attention. Carla took deep breaths before looking at everyone.
"Nothing." she said, but Wendy narrowed her eyes.
"Your lying." she bluntly said, getting everyone to look at her.
"You had a vision, didn't you?" she asked as everyone turn their attention to the white exceed.
"Is that true, Carla?" Makarov. Carla reluctantly nodded.
"What was in the vision?" Carla sighed.
"Well..."
[Carla's Vision]
Fire swarmed every part of the land as if the gates of hell had opened up, and armageddon had arrived. Buildings were crumpling to dust.
The moon was red as blood and the skies were a dark crimson hue from all the smoke spewing into the air.
The great castle of the capital, Mercurius, was collapsing to the ground.
Hundreds of dark silhouettes filled the sky.
A man with spiky blonde hair with blues and whisker marks on his face glared at the shadows.
A darker shadow that enveloped the other glared at the man as lightning danced around the giant shadow.
A hand can be seen being slowly covered in blood.
Natsu and Wendy in rage with tears falling from their eyes as they roared in anguish.
Lucy running as tears fell down her eyes.
A giant gate can be seen opening as there is a flash and then nothing.
There was an uncomfortable silence as everyone took in what they just heard.
"Sounds like things went from bad to worse." Freed commented. Laxus scoffed.
"You think?" Wendy was in deep thought about the vision, something that was noticed by Makarov.
"Wendy do you know something about this?" he asked. Wendy nodded.
"The blonde man was my father. I am not sure about the shadows, though. I have an idea on the gate, but I won't be sure until I actually see it. Now that warning my dad gave makes more sense." she said.
"What warning?" Wendy then explained the warning her father gave her. The one about the guilds, the impending doom that threatens their lives, and the suspicious activities of the royal family that seem to be connected to Zeref.
Now this got everyone concerned. What was the impending cataclysm that was approaching that Naruto knew about? How did he know about it? How was the royal family involved? How were all the guilds and Fairy Tail involved in this?
So many questions and very few answers. Carla was annoyed with Wendy's loyalty to her father, and yet keeps her in the dark about important events.
"Oh of course your father is cryptic once again towards you. So much for trust." Carla said cynically. Wendy glared at Carla, her patience was thinning with her partner.
"Enough Carla. My father told me what I needed to know." Wendy snapped. Everyone was looking a bit nervous between the two.
"Oh yes and what about your mother?! How much did he tell you about her! Or did he say he'll tell you eventually or when the time comes?" Wendy glared at Carla for that remark. Her patience was at an end with her, and she could feel Dark swirling in rage inside. If she made one more insult. Everyone was very worried. They could tell Wendy was about to snap, and were all hoping Carla doesn't say anything that pushes Wendy over the edge.
They were all sadly mistaken.
"Face it, child. That man is nothing more than a deadbeat father that saw your mother as a one nightstand, and only came back to you as some sick form of pity-"
SMASH!
There was a dead silence as everyone stared at the smashed the table from Wendy's fist colliding with it and the crater that formed from the impact on the floor. Everyone was then assaulted with a VERY potent KI along with a malevolent magical pressure, which caused everyone to stiffen from the power Wendy was emitting.
"How dare you….Exceed." Wendy growled out. She looked up and the sight caused Carla and several others to slightly back up in fear. Wendy's eyes had become blood red with slits. Her hair was turning a darker shade of blue and dark whisker marks were appearing on her face. As she slowly trekked to Carla, the malevolent power growing all the more potent. Wendy began speaking in a distorted voice as if two people were speaking in an echo.
"You dare speak of my father when you know nothing about him or my mother and you dare tarnish the sanctity of their marriage or his unconditional love for me?!"
By now everyone was getting very scared at what they were seeing. They've never seen this side of Wendy and the majority did not like it one bit. Jellal and his companions very getting rather nervous as the dark energy that Wendy emitted seem very similar to what they searching for, but there was something very different about this power. It felt more…...primal. And this terrified the three as this power felt just as frightening as the malevolent power they felt all these years. Maybe even more.
Wendy was a few feet away from Carla when a giant hand gripped her. She tried to maneuver to no avail. She turned to glare at the one responsible. Makarov gave Wendy a gentle stare as she continued to glare and growl as everyone else was getting more scared as more dark energy was being released.
"Wendy, please calm yourself. She did not mean any of those things. She's just concerned for your wellbeing and has a terrible way of expressing it. Don't let her words get to you. I'm sure your father taught you to keep control of this power did he not? Don't disappoint him now. Prove now that he had every reason to trust you." he said in a soothing, calm voice.
Wendy's power flared as she continued to glare at Makarov. There was an uncomfortable silence for a whole minute, which seemed like an eternity before the dark force disappeared as Wendy's features returned to normal. Everyone released a long sigh of relief they had been holding since this debacle began.
Wendy took some deep breaths before bowing to the master in apology, but Makarov waved it off saying it was unneeded. Wendy then looked up at the master.
"Master I think it's time we all head to bed." Makarov nodded. As Wendy began to walk out, Makarov called to her.
"Wendy, I have faith that your father is trying to amend for his past mistakes with you. The fact he would make that oath and gave you that warning is proof enough. But remember child, if you ever need someone to talk to, I am right here."
Wendy nodded. "Thank you, master." Carla was about to follow her, but Wendy spoke up causing her to stop.
"Stay away. I would like to sleep alone and away from you for the rest of the night." she said coldly before she walked out and slammed the door close.
Carla's eyes began to tear as she began to sob at how cold Wendy had been to her. She very well she deserved it. Because of her attitude, she may have just lost her first and closest friend. Happy and Lily did to cheer her up; telling her to just give Wendy time to cool off. Everyone else looked sadden to varying degrees at the scene before them.
"Never thought Wendy would have such a temper." Gray said with a sigh, but Erza just shook her head.
"She's always had it. Her dad just gave her the confidence to bring it out." she said.
"But that was some power she showed. It reminded me of your Satan Soul, nee-chan." Elfman said.
Mirajane just shook her head.
"While they felt similar, I can tell what Wendy was releasing, was much darker." That was an unsettling thought for many of the members.
"Jellal." The bluenette looked at Erza. "Did that power remind you of the malevolent force you have been looking for?" she asked.
Jellal sighed before answering, "It felt really similar, although a lot more primal compared to what I have felt."
"Are you suggesting that Wendy's father has a connection to Zeref?!" Lucy asked in fear. No one notice the stiffening of Mavis, Gildarts, and Makarov, except for Laxus. He narrowed his eyes in suspicion. There was something going on, and he was gonna find out what it was. Makarov quickly regained his composure and addressed everyone.
"There is no evidence that confirms that, so we will drop the issue for now. We will keep this information to ourselves. Wendy's father gave us some information that can be very useful, so let's use it to our advantage. Jellal, you and your members can investigate what Wendy just told us about the royal family. Just make sure none of you are seen. Everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded. Makarov then walked to the still sobbing Carla. He gave a soft pat on the head.
"Relax child, I'll speak to Wendy tomorrow and hopefully you'll mend your differences. Friends have fights, but they make up eventually. Just give her time. You'll see." Carla did not looked convinced, but nodded all the same. Mirajane to take Carla with her for the night.
Everyone left silently, all having many thoughts to everything Wendy told. The more they learned, the more questions they had. And the only person with answers was the person the questions revolved around. Naruto Marvell.
[Mermaid Heel Lodging]
"Thank you for your hard work, Seilah." a red haired woman stated to the beautiful mage bowing to her.
"Your words are kind, mistress. I live thanks to the two of you." she stated humbly as she stood up and walked out.
The red haired woman then looked at her blonde haired companion in the room with her.
"So what do you think?" red asked.
"It was definitely Naruto; I never thought he would publicly appear like that again." the second said softly.
"You think it's actually him? That he has finally returned to his senses?" the woman said in a hopeful tone. The blonde woman sighed sadly.
"I really want to believe so, but we won't know until we actually talk to him."
"I agree." red said.
"Speaking of talks, when do you plan to speak with Erza?" blonde asked.
The red haired woman sighed as she leaned back on her chair.
"Soon." she said softly. "Very Soon. I will task Millianna to bring her, so we can talk. I have much to atone for."
The blonde went over and gave her a soft hug that was graciously accepted.
"All three of us do, but we can only hope they'll find it in their hearts to forgive us."
"What about you? When will you speak to Wendy?" red asked.
"As soon as you speak with Erza, I'll speak with Wendy." blonde replied.
The two then walked out to their corridors. There was much to do and so very little time.
[Makai, Unknown Location]
Naruto was in short sleeve shirt as he was looking at five tubes filled with a glowing blue liquid. If one were to looking closely; they would see five human shaped objects in the tubes.
Naruto was looking through a magically powered screen as continued to go through different formulas and calculations.
"So far so good." he muttered. He walks up as he touches tube with his hand as he stares at the content.
"Hopefully these can be the first steps to the salvations of the dragons." he mutters. Suddenly there is a flash under his shirt as he receives the memories from Wendy's necklace. He blinks a few times times before sighing.
'Oh Wendy how I wish you never got my temper. You don't have to prove your loyalty towards me, my chibi-hime. Your love and compassion is more than enough. Hopefully you and Carla can set your differences soon. You'll need each other. I wonder how much Fairy Tail will be able to figure out on their own before I intervene? That vision certainly did have a bright future, but I'll die before I allow that vision to become a reality.'
Suddenly Naruto feels an enormous presence behind him. Naruto turns to see a dragon before him.
It was around 70 or so meters long, although Naruto knew this was not the dragon's actual size. It had a large serpentine-like body. The dragon had five gray and red stripes going down its body with golden spikes protruding from the body and all the way down to the tail. The wings were shaped more like black tentacles with red, thorn-like appendages sticking out at the end. The head of the dragon had a golden arc on its forehead with a gold 'mask' covering its mouth. The most noticeable were the blood red eyes that was looking down at Naruto. This was Giratina, Ruler of the Makai and the Dragon-god of Death.
Naruto bowed to the queen.
"Lady Giratina." Giratina's eyes seem to soften, if only sightly.
"Rise, my Dragon King." He obeyed without question.
"How goes these artificial creations of yours?"
"They are stable and nearly complete. All that's left is to actually test them."
Giratina nodded.
"Naruto I wanted to inform you that I have finished my discussions with Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus on your suggestion. We have come to an agreement." she said.
Naruto looked at her pleading eyes, hoping they agreed with his plan.
"You may bring them back so long as you fulfill your duties as King and perform your duties on July 7th."
Naruto's eyes were filled with hope now that his other plan was backed by the primordials. He gave the queen a bow of gratitude.
"Thank you, Giratina-sama. You have my world I will complete my tasks and fulfill my promises. I will not waste this generous opportunity. You have my word." he thanked her again.
Giratina nodded. "I know you won't Naruto-kun." With those words, Giratina opened a dark portal and went through it to her throne in hell as the portal closed behind her.
"Soon. Very soon. The Dragon Race will rise again in glory and I will lead them as their king with my queens and children at my side when the time comes."
Well hope you guys liked the fights. Wendy's and Charla's has reached somewhat rock bottom, but it will only get better from here. Hope you guys liked the last quarter of this chapter. I was having a tough time with the dialogue, and hoped I gave a satisfying job.
Do you guys want Gajeel and Natsu to use the seals? Yes or No?
