Zyr0TruthCanExist: All the 1st Gen Dragon Slayers are like siblings to each other.
LuluViBritania: Excepting Merctulia, yes. She's kinda the dragons' trump card as Acnologia doesn't even know about her, which allows her to make her own plans. Although, as you read, instead of appearing in the castle, Anna herself got sent elsewhere and won't be in the story any time soon~
Chapter 02: Top of the World
Hargeon, Fiore - X784
"My goodness... He really did it!"
"Look at the size of that monster!"
"That's their boss, right?! Don't they usually hide behind their underlings and give orders from there?!"
"That just means that he really annihilated the whole infestation!"
Barely paying attention, Bell April(22) kept walking through the town, easily hefting the elephant-sized corpse of an acromantula over his head, balanced with just one arm.
'I hope the bison meat's ready by the time I check out 8island.' Bell inwardly hoped, resisting the urge to outwardly lick his lips in hunger. After all, the Dragon Slayer had gone a whole day without eating anything. 'After hearing about Titania and some cute blonde girl being temporary workers, I really should've hurried to see them yesterday. Then again, the chances of me making it to Hargeon without dealing with my job is almost zero.'
It was really hard work, diligently tracking down the acromantulas so that he could properly exterminate them all in one go. After all, as whimsical Merctulia's personality had been, she definitely didn't appreciate slacking off during a task one was given.
Sea Dragon Slayer Magic was pretty versatile in how he did so little damage to the landscape compared to what he'd been hearing about Salamander's last presence in the town. Judging by the names of the spells they were often heard using, it was easy for Bell to figure out that they were most likely Natsu's, with zero regard for restraint as usual.
It wasn't that he didn't love causing superb acts of destruction. Bell just believed that his money had better uses in filling his stomach and paying for his hobbies instead of it going to reparations and reimbursements.
Speaking of hobbies, an argument suddenly caught his attention almost as soon as Bell finished off some meals and visited Hargeon's casino after remembering that a friend of his would be there at the current time.
Idly sipping a glass of wine, Bell looked over the entire place until he found what he was looking for... and was not surprised at what he found.
Jenny Realight was playing one of the private tables, one that was almost completely cut off from the rest of the place through the clever placement of shining objects and bulky furniture, though not good enough to conceal it from the attention of a Dragon Slayer actively searching for a familiar person.
When Bell walked there, two bodyguards tried to stop him.
Emphasis on 'tried'.
The smile on Bell's face was polite but had the same feel to it as Merctulia whenever she tried to smile when actually pissed off. Like the seas his element represented, Bell's smile was calm and tranquil and so hopelessly unfathomable as his pace never faltered.
Unlike how Natsu and Gajeel might've preferred, Bell believed that rather than overwhelming his opponents, there was something to be desired in quietly engulfing their wills to fight.
And with that, Bell hummed as he didn't slow his pace past the two now-deathly-pale guards, uncaring as one of them fell to his knees while clutching his chest in a panic.
When he arrived at the table, he met with a scene that was amusing and exasperating at the same time. As expected, Jenny had lost almost all of her money and was sitting on the end of the desk with a frown on her face with her fingers trembling.
The others watched in amusement as they taunted her, clearly thinking that her trembling was due to fear or shock.
Bell, on the other hand, was clearly aware that Jenny was deeply pondering if she could handle the resultant lecture from Blue Pegasus Guildmaster Bob if she broke both the table and her opponents in half.
With her, gorgeous face, long blonde hair and voluptuous figure, it wasn't hard to see why her many male gambling partners might have lured Jenny away into a private booth where 'nothing seen, nothing happened' was an invisible rule.
Bell imagined those legs of hers would've looked magnificent if her dress wasn't covering them up at the moment, but he didn't need to do as much imagining when it came to her bust, the plunging neckline of her cocktail dress showing off her large breasts to great effect.
The one that was sitting in the center of the layout, clearly expressing his superiority to the rest of the table caught Bell's attention. It took some moments to recognize him as the lord of Oak Town, famous for his womanizing habits, which included blackmail and outright threats as well.
As expected of Orkus, who had been know to get well along with the now disbanded Mage Guild Phantom Lord.
"It's a generous offer, Miss Realight." Orkus said smarmily even as he scratched his big belly. "You can have enough money to play five more rounds, and you only need to pull down the top half of your dress."
Jenny took a deep breath, clearly trying not to use her Take Over and shoot many, many holes through him.
"You may still have enough money, but that's barely enough for a single round."
'Well, that won't do.' Bell pulled out a few chips from his pocket and threw them onto the table, directly in front of Jenny.
"Who the hell are you?!" Orkus exploded immediately as he looked outside, trying to see his guards.
Bell ignored him and leaned to put an arm over Jenny's shoulders, causing her to relax slightly against him. "What are you doing Jenny? I thought you had more skill than this."
"The bastards are cheating!" Jenny hissed with her fists almost clenched hard enough to ruin her manicured nails. "I was doing perfectly fine before I got invited into this group!"
"Answer me, you cretin!" Orkus cried, his face immediately turning into a shade of purple after being ignored by the two mages.
"Shut up." Jenny snapped as she dragged down Bell to seat beside her, much to the shock of the surrounding people.
Orkus's popped a few blood vessels, before gesturing at someone else to leave the private booth and speak with the guards. When he returned to whisper his answer, Orkus definitely didn't look any calmer.
"Come on, Jenny. You should leave while they haven't sunk a debt in you yet." Bell grabbed Jenny's wrist and pulled her onto her feet, turning to leave, when Orkus spoke once more.
"She can't go anywhere." He snarled, furious at Bell's dismissal.
"Huh?" Bell said with a lazy smirk that didn't reach the calm rage in his blue eyes. "Who are you to dare command me?"
"I'm going to have you killed, brat." Orkus threatened, shaking in anger while the others looked at Bell with pitying eyes, no doubt thinking he had signed his own death warrant.
Understandably, they were very confused when both Bell and Jenny burst into snickers at that, clearly amused rather than terrified.
"Did he just say that?" Jenny giggled, her anger almost gone. "And to you of all people?"
"I know, right?" Bell chortled as they leaned into each other. "Then again, I'm not quite as infamous as my little brothers."
Even with that said, Bell sat back down with Jenny. "Then again, I might never have another chance to crushing a fool like you again. What do we bet?"
"If you're taking over her game, she's already lost 500,000J." Orkus spat out before pointing at Jenny. "But you need to put up that bitch as a side bet if you want to win it back."
Bell instantly squeezed down on her hip to prevent her from dashing forward. Even without relying on her magic, Jenny was still physically capable of killing the bastard with a well placed punch. "Sure, Jenny deserves to suffer a bit for attempting to deal with someone as stupid and revolting as you."
With everyone gaping at him in shock, Bell slapped Jenny's ass rather hard, making her gasp in shock as he dug his fingers deep into her cheek. Her shock got even thicker when pulled her onto his lap, easily displaying a dominance over Jenny that none of the others had, especially as she blushed and didn't try to hit or threaten him.
"Alright then, let's get to me robbing you blind." Bell grabbed the dice and raised it to Jenny's lips. "Blow on it, sweetie, for luck."
After Jenny did so, with her cheeks burning red, she leaned back to whisper as he started to play. "What do you think you're doing, Bell?! What's your plan here?"
"You deserve a punishment for not using your usually brilliant mind when dealing with this kind of people." Bell whispered back into Jenny's ear even as he carelessly gambled a couple more chips of millions, managing to pull up the hem of her dress and softly caress her thighs without alerting their crowd.
"Sorry, Bell..." Jenny whispered back, her eyes stuck on the table and watching with a desperate fire of an addict as Bell lost more of his money. "He just made such an easy target..."
'And that triggered you.' Bell sighed at her overconfidence. "He does seem the type, doesn't he?"
Even as he replied, Bell's exploration started to get more and more aggressive, even pushing her panties to the side to dip his fingers to her wetness. Jenny's cheeks colored even more as she gasped in shock, but it was lost in the chatter on the table, this time signifying Bell's win.
His opponent glared at him angrily and spat some more insults, but Bell happily ignored it with a smile.
"Y-You're going too far." Jenny warned him, which would have been more effective if she had tried to stop him, hadn't been struggling to hold a moan, or could control her trembling legs.
"No, Jenny, you're the one who went too far by losing five hundred thousand to this loser. You clearly need a reminder lesson in discretion and I don't see any problem in providing that lesson now." Shocked by his words, Jenny failed to react quickly as he pulled her dress up all the way over her butt, leaving just low enough that nobody noticed her near nudity.
Meanwhile, Bell lost two hundred thousand on the table at that point, leaving Jenny confused about the ultimate target of her anger. Just as Bell intended, as with her attention split like that, she failed to notice him subtly adjusting his pants until she felt his shaft pressing against her wet lower lips as he slightly lifted her by her hips.
"No, not here-" She started, only to cut her threat short as she had to turn her whole attention to keeping silent as Bell dropped her back down, impaling her on his cock.
"I'll... kill you if... you get me... banned from here..." Jenny whispered between her squeezed teeth as his shaft slowly invaded her clenching core, making her eyes widen with every slight push as she was reminded of the many inches to handle.
After all, it was hardly the first time they'd ever had sex together.
Just the first time with potential spectators.
"Why don't you throw this one, Jenny?" Bell said loudly as he passed the dice to Jenny while pushing two point four million worth of chips on the table. By far the biggest bet of the entire pot, even enough to actually dent his savings.
"Are you sure?" Jenny gasped in shock, never having seen a mage use that much cash in one go.
"You just can't wait to get rid of that bitch, huh?" Orkus smirked, excited by the possibility of playing with Jenny himself.
"Either put with the money, or shut the fuck up." Bell's good cheer disappeared as he addressed Orkus, groping Jenny's breast as he gave a dismissive glare. "Until this game is over, Jenny remains mine. And you should know not to covet the possessions of others."
When Jenny threw the dice, she was suddenly hit with a surprise climax, tightening up hard enough to squeeze a silent orgasm from Bell as well.
As he started cumming into her pussy, the dice rolled five sixes, giving Jenny the victory she'd been hoping for. "YEAH!"
"Bullshit!" Orkus cried, shocked to see his winnings disappear with just a roll. "Double or nothing!"
Jenny pushed everything forward without even asking Bell and rolled the dice again, prompting Bell to start thrusting into her again. With the win combined with her orgasm, Jenny was hit with an unbelievable euphoria, failing to notice the fact that their carnal actions were slowly starting to get obvious reactions around the table, with a few females (mostly working ladies with great experience) noticing the subtle shifts in her expression.
However, when she won this time with even less of Bell's involvement, the moan that she let out enlightened several more onlookers, who started watching the couple that was daring enough to anger and humiliate a lord in such a visible manner.
"Is that-" Jenny started only to let out a wanton moan as Bell blatantly grabbed her breasts and fondled her nipples through the cloth, her hip movements getting even more obvious. "Is that the best you can do, Orkus? For I'm finding myself disappointed in you."
"Watch your tone, you bitch! Once we're finished, I'm going to make you rue the day!" Orkus cried in impotent anger while the rest of their table was split between snickering at his sudden bout of misfortune, or gawking at the daring couple who were actually going at it while ripping into such a dangerous man. With a rather pig-like smirk, he scribbled a quick note and stamped by his personal sigil, for a total of fifty million Jewels. "Final bet. Go ahead and try to match that, mage."
'50,000,000J... Only my S-rank Requests ever pay that high in one go...' Bell stared at the damning note before shrugging as he grabbed the dice and finally activated a spell.
Not a Dragon Slayer type, for that was too obvious. What Bell used was something he had once seen and learnt on a mission once. It was like a joke spell almost nonexistent magical power drain even, creating for the sole purpose of making small objects 'stay upright' by connecting an enchanted surface with a non enchanted one.
Applying it to stay active for just 10 seconds and Bell had gained something that would never allow him to lose a game of dice for the rest of his life.
The results that came after was predictable.
Orkus roared in rage, the rest slowly applauded in shock and Jenny moaned and nearly slumped in obvious sexual ecstasy, her surroundings ignored under the rush of pleasure she was feeling.
"You've just made yourself a deadly enemy, you insolent mages!" Orkus cried as he fled the booth (Neither Bell nor Jenny had exposed their Guildmarks so there was not the slightest bit of worry between them at any repercussions from him), with some of the stragglers following while the others lingered back, clearly thrilled to watch the show.
Unfortunately for them, Merctulia had succeeded in raising Bell to become as possessive as she was, prompting Bell to let his glare slide over to them. Bell had stared down monsters, both literal and figurative, so a bunch of rich wannabe playboys didn't even register on his radar.
The wannabe playboys fled as well, abandoning several ladies who stayed behind, undoubtedly taken by the definite Alpha before them.
Snapping his fingers, a set of prepared runes flashed over the booth, rendering it unnoticeable and soundproof from the outside, finally allowing Bell to fully indulge in his prize.
With an aggressive tug, Bell pulled down the front of Jenny's dress, revealing her large tits and making them bounce freely for a moment before he turned her about and pushed her on the table, her body pressed down over the gambling chips as Jenny found her legs widening when the Dragon Slayer positioned himself and slapped his hard cock right against her slender stomach.
"So how much?"
"H-How much?" Jenny swallowed, her blue eyes widened as she could almost feel the heat his cock was producing as it pulsed dangerously. She was aching at this point.
"We just won..." Bell made a few calculations. "57,700,000J. So... how much of that are you taking... besides the 500,000J you lost? A quarter? A third?"
Jenny's head swam. Even just a mere tenth of that would leave her loaded for months! "A quarter. Now..."
Jenny's legs tightened around Bell's hips as she reached up to reel in Bell by his collar. "Shut up and fuck me already!"
Without bothering to reply, Bell instantly thrusted in, mauling her breast with one hand while the other grabbed her hip hard enough to leave bruises as he started to pick up speed.
Around them, Bell casually noted the small orgy that was starting around them. Any woman who hadn't started fondling themselves had latched on to another, rutting their drenched cores against each other.
Bell particularly enjoyed the sight of one of them being squeezed between two others, her pussy and backdoor being ravaged by what were Steel Make dildos she herself had created.
Feeling himself almost at his limit, Bell leaned his entire weight onto Jenny now, loud cries echoing next to his ears as Jenny feebly clutched him as the thickness in her walls relentlessly knocked against her cervix until it punched through with a final shove, filling her insides with his hot seed.
'Being a winner sure is nice...' Ball thought as he pulled out and sat back down, eyeing his handiwork as cum leaked out the delirious Jenny's pussy, his own cock still at attention. 'Good thing she does birth control...'
Looking around, Bell's eyes landed on a lone girl who had been silently fingering herself and froze when she felt the hungry gaze on her.
Gulping, she approached as he gestured at her, meekly falling to her knees as she beheld the cock and eagerly engulfed it in her mouth, uncaring as Bell grabbed her hair and bobbed her head at his own pace with very little regard for her lack of breath.
Being a winner was nice indeed…
Cait Shelter, Fiore - X784
"Bell-nii! You're back!"
Bell steadied himself as a blue haired missile slammed into his stomach, doing her best to squeeze the life out of him. Considering that she was the Sky Dragon Slayer and usually trained with him, Wendy Marvel had quite a better chance at that than most people in Earthland. "I'm home, Wendy."
Wendy buried her face into Bell's stomach a bit more, before suddenly stilling and leaping away with a blush on her face. "Bell-nii! You have the smell of many girls on you again!"
Bell chuckled. "I took three baths in succession before coming back but you can still smell that?"
"My element involves the air!" Wendy adorably stomped her feet as she pouted. "Of course, my sense of smell's superior to your's! Besides, why do you always like to... do that with women all the time?"
"Because it's my hobby." Bell bluntly replied. Everyone had their vice and that was his.
"No, it's because he's a scoundrel." Carla scoffed as she flew over to glare at Bell. "I'm honestly disappointed that Wendy always considers you a role model to follow."
"I can't be bothered to change my attitude just because a flying cat's chastising me." Bell shrugged as he shoved his index and middle fingers against Carla's forehead and sent her spiraling into Wendy's arms. "Besides, as the only S-Class mage of Cait Shelter, my current goal is just to get stronger for the sake finding and Merctulia again someday while enjoying what I can. You two should do whatever you want with your own lifestyle."
"What kind of lifestyle is that?!" Carla bristled.
"You know that Bell doesn't just live a lifestyle like that for no reason, Carla." Wendy calmed her cat down as she stared at Bell's retreating back as he approached Master Roubaul's hut. "Bell-nii just gets frustrated sometimes because he doesn't know why we were sent 400 years into the future, or where our dragons or Anna-sensei went afterwards. The only thing he feels he can do... is just train as hard as he can and use his hobbies to blow off the stress until we find Grandeeney and the others."
"Hmph!" Carla scoffed. "He should really stop being such a womanizer, though!"
Wendy nodded. "True. It gets awkward and tiring when he'll be distracted right in the middle of missions we take together..."
Bell blinked as Roubaul sat before him in complete seriousness, his usual wine jug nowhere nearby. "Did something happen that you've summoned me, Master?"
Roubaul, who had just returned from the Guild Masters regular meeting, frowned heavily. "There's been a particular Dark Guild making dangerous movements and it has been deemed as an extermination target. However due to their perceived strength, four of the most powerful Guilds in Fiore have entered an alliance in order to properly destroy them."
"I see." Bell frowned in thought. "Are they that strong?"
"It's not just a matter of strength-nabura." Roubaul shook his head. "The Dark Guild in question is part of an alliance already. If just one Guild were to attack on it's own-"
"-they'd bring down retaliation solely on their heads." Bell finished as he crossed his arms. "And in that case, we're making an alliance of our own, then?"
"Indeed." Roubaul nodded. "Each Guild is to offer at least one S-Class Mage along with proper support."
"And by that, you mean us..." Bell finished with a sigh. "After all, Cait Shelter focuses more on Magic Item production rather than combat and the type. You, Wendy and I are the only fighters in the entire Guild... Okay, who are our allies for the mission?"
"I don't know who will be sent particularly, but the other Guilds to be joining us are Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail!"
'Fairy Tail?' Bell blinked at the name before smiling widely. 'Looks like I might be seeing you two again... Natsu, Gajeel!'
KingVessel: I just need to point out this bit. Of the Dragon Slayers, only Bell and Wendy are the only ones who remember being from 400 years in the past. They know neither of Acnologia, nor the Dragons' plan to hide in their bodies, with Bell being the only one without immunity against Dragonization as a backup plan against Acnologia. Taking example from the Dragon King, a transforming Dragon Slayer might have the edge that Acnologia possesses, but hopefully has the bond with his siblings to stave off the resulting madness.
