Everyone stood there, quiet in shock. An actual dragon!? Not to mention the Queen of them!? "Dragon Queen!?" I yelled breaking the silence. Diana nodded. Then, from no where, a hair tie appeared on her left wrist. She took it off and tied her hair into a high ponytail. Her dress shimmered and turned into a pair of blue jeans and a red t-shirt with a black Chinese dragon design. "Requip magic!" Lucy called out. Diana smiled and nodded. "All of you will gain some type of Requip magic, plus your own armor. As you saw with Robert, a scythe is his main weapon. Delphi has agreed to help us in this endeavor. Delphi." Diana briefly explained. We all looked at Delphi who nodded. She raised her right hand towards the air, palm facing up. Like that, thunder rumbled and green mist filled the room. Delphi's eyes began to glow sickly green. Then, my head burst in pain. I screamed out and clutched my head, falling to my knees. Abbey, Wendy, Natsu, Lucy, and even Diana called out to me, but they sounded far away. I looked up at Delphi while clutching my head. Both her and I held eye contact. 

Dark clouds began to roll in and block the sun. I yelled out in pain another time and the thunder boomed at the same time. The shadows became even darker and lightening was flickering through the sky. It sounded like the heavens were in sync with my pain. My head felt like a drill was going into it. I let out one final scream as the green smoke intensified and started forming into a body that was around 5'7". The thunder resounded a final time before lightening struck right in front of us. Where the lightening had struck was a man around 37 and stood around 6'5". He had black hair and eyes as black as night. He wore a black hoodie and black pants. He looked at us like he didn't care about anything. I looked over at the smoke figure and saw the smoke recede. It left behind a girl the same height as the smoke, but with red, frizzy hair tied up in a messy bun and green eyes. She wore a white shirt, splattered with different colors of paint and track pants, also splattered with paint. She had a grin and had her hands clasped in front of her. 

"You must be the male one! Pleasure to meet you! My name is Rachel." The girl said. She seemed to be around 17 or 18 (I DON'T KNOW HER ACTUAL AGE! LOOKED IT UP AND EVERYTHING, BUT NOTHING!). "Oh? The Oracle of Delphi and Delphi herself?" The dude said in a bored tone. My head stopped pounding and I slowly took my hands of my ears. Delphi and Rachel looked at the man and glared. "Enough from you Erebus. I called you here for a reason." Delphi said in an annoyed tone. The man glowered. "Whatever.' Erebus said, creating a ball of darkness and... LAUNCHING IT AT ME!? I had a slow reaction time cause it hit me fast and sent me flying backwards into the forest. "Robert!" Everyone called. People were rushing towards me, but they were slow. Someone had grabbed me by the throat and raised me from the ground. I grabbed the hand crushing my windpipe and tried to pry Erebus' hand off. "Erebus! Enough!" I heard Delphi yell. "Oh? Why should I? The boy's weak. He won't be able to survive the training you put him through. Sorry, but he needs to die." Erebus said. As if on cue, darkness clouded my vision and began to suffocate me. "ROBERT!" I heard everyone yell. Stay calm, I told myself. Imagine inhaling all his darkness. Come on! You can also control darkness, so DO IT! 

I opened my mouth and took a large intake of air. Following the air, some of the darkness followed, energizing me. Again! I told myself. I did it again and took a bit more. "What!?" I heard Erebus question. Come on! AGAIN! I did it one more time and this time, all the darkness surrounding me was swallowed into my stomach. I closed my mouth and looked Erebus in the eyes. His dark eyes were wide with surprise. Dark Dragon Slayer... That title was running through my mind. "Dark... Dragon..." I chocked out, seeing as Erebus still had my throat in his hands. "Oh, FU-" But I interrupted him. "ROAR!" I yelled out, opening my mouth wide. When I yelled roar, it sounded like a dragons. A blast of darkness that came from my mouth sent Erebus flying. He crashed into a tree and a couple others behind that one. When I ran out of breath, I stopped the blast and panted. Everyone was quiet, but then I heard cheering. "Go Robert!" I heard them cheer. I looked in their direction and gave them a smile and a thumbs up. Diana was jumping up and down while clapping her hands repeatedly in happiness. 

Everyone else were cheering like fans at a football game. I heard Erebus start laughing and looked at him. He was getting up, but with a grin. "Nice job kid! Learned how to control the darkness around you and used it to create your roar!" Erebus said, dusting off his clothes. He looked uninjured, but his clothes were ripped and torn in different places. "Milady! We heard a dragon roar and came as fast as we could!" I heard a new voice say. I looked to the left and saw a group of adults make their way towards us. One looked like an older version of Natsu, but with orange eyes and red hair. He also wore the same clothes as Natsu, as well as the same scarf. Another looked like an older Wendy with the same hair, but turquoise eyes. She wore a white dress that stopped at her thighs. It was simple and flowed in the wind. Beside her was two other women, both the opposite of the other. One had black hair, tanned skin and white eyes while the other had white hair, pale skin and black eyes. The black haired one had on a black dress that stopped at her knees. It had little dots of white on it as well. The white haired one had on a white dress like the Wendy-look-a-like and had little black dots all over her dress. The last person was a man with dark blue hair and yellow eyes. He wore a t-shirt of the galaxy on it and black cargo pants. 

"Oh! You five! I am fine. It was just Robert here roaring his way out of  Erebus' hold." Diana replied. All of them ran past me and had on worried expressions. I turned and watched the scene unfold. "Well, at least you aren't hurt." The black haired women said with a relieved tone. The older versions of Natsu and Wendy looked past Diana and gasped at the sight of their doubles. The older Wendy looked ready to cry and covered her mouth while the older Natsu froze. "Wendy..." The woman said. "Natsu..." The man said. Both teen and preteen perked up at their names. Their eyes also widened, as if knew who the people were. "Igneel..." "Grandeeney..." Both of them said. Natsu and Wendy ran at the two and hugged them. Wendy broke down and sobbed with Grandeeney. Natsu's form was shaking as he hugged Igneel. That's right! That's their dragons! I walked over and stood beside Abbey and a happy Lucy. "You finally found them, huh? Finally found your dragons." Lucy said, sounding emotional.  

One of the other dragons, the black haired woman, giggled. “To think that you would see your son again, Iggy.” She said. All the dragons, plus Delphi and Erebus burst into laughter. Igneel got out of the hug with Natsu and glared at the woman. “Shut up Darkrin.” he replied. "Make me Flame Head." Darkrin said while wearing an arrogant smirk. Igneel growled and said "Nightmare..." He was about to lunge at Darkrin when Grandeeney yelled "ENOUGH!" She went up to the two and knocked both of them out. She then started to wipe the imaginary dust off her dress as the other two  groaned in pain. I just sat back and watched all that was happening with a small smile. As some of the dragons argued, Diana and Delphi were giggling while Rachel was scolding Erebus and the others were just laughing. "Okay!' Diana called out, clapping her hands together. The dragons stopped arguing and looked towards Diana. "Go grab your student." Diana said, walking away with Delphi. "Yes Milady." The dragons said. Igneel dragged Natsu by the scarf in a certain direction while Grandeeney took Wendy's hand and lightly dragged her towards their direction. 

White haired women guided Abbey away as Abigail looked at me with a worried expression while the dark blue haired man did the same with Lucy. Erebus, Rachel, and Darkrin stayed behind with me. “So… what are we doing?” I asked. The other three looked at one another then at me. “I’m teaching you spells, Erebus will fight you to test your power and your limit and Rachel will teach you how to suppress that other power inside you." Darkrin explained. I gave them a confused look. "What power?" I asked. "The power of foreseeing the future." Rachel explained. I looked at her in surprise. Prophecy powers, huh? "Okay then... Where do we start?" I ask, standing up with a determined look.  

~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~6 Hours Later~~~~~~~ 

"Okay! Now try using Dragon Force!" Darkrin yelled out. I nodded, panting and sweat pouring off my face. It's been 6 hours since I've seen anyone and I have been training non-stop. Erebus had changed into black workout shorts and a black t-shirt. Darkrin had requiped and got out of her dress and into her workout outfit. Her outfit consisted of black track pants and a large red t-shirt that was twisted together at one end and knotted to show her belly button. Rachel stayed the same, but just let her hair down. I stood straight and closed me eyes. I took deep, calm breathes. Then I snapped my eyes open and yelled out "DRAGON FORCE!" I felt my eyes tingle a bit and black scales covered certain parts of my body. I also felt my power greatly return. An aura of darkness radiated off me and I got into a battle stance. Erebus gave me a sadistic grin and launched at me. As he threw a fist at me, I caught it before it made contact. Erebus' whole face turned into one of surprise. I sent a grin at him as I grabbed his arm and threw him at a tree. "Argh!" Erebus grunted in pain. The tree broke on impact and he ended up on the other side of the stump. For extra measure, the tree landed on him. Rachel and Darkrin laughed as I just smirked. 

"OW!" Erebus yelled, getting the tree off him and scowling at me as he got up. "What's wrong? Can't handle me?" I asked, still smirking. "Excellent work Robert! Now, just imagine your power shutting down and Dragon Force should go away." Darkrin explained. I nodded and closed my eyes, imagining myself flicking a light switch off. Just like that, I grew exhausted and almost fell forwards onto my face, thankfully I caught my footing before doing that. "Nice job kid." Erebus said, walking back towards us with his hands behind his head. "Now, were going to try and summon your Dragon Armor with your Requip magic." Darkrin explained, looking serious. I nodded and got into my battle stance. "Requip! Dragon Armor!" I yelled. My body shined and I felt a suit of armor fit on me. When the light stopped, I was looking through a helmet. "Well?" I asked, my voice vibrating out of the suit. Rachel, Erebus, and Darkrin were just standing there wide eyed. "Please don't tell me I just summoned the helmet of it!" I whined. 

"No... you summoned the whole thing, but with wings!" Rachel explained. Darkrin and Erebus nodded. "Good..." I said letting out a breathe. "Oh my! What amazing armor Robert!" I heard Diana's voice compliment from the left. I looked towards her and she had a large grin. "Crystal Mirror!" Diana yelled. A magic circle appeared in front of her feet and went up. It left a large crystal in its wake. The crystal reflected things like a mirror. When I looked into it I saw what my suit of armor looks like. It was all black with black pearls at the knees, the backs of my hands, my elbow, my shoulders and three on my chest. The armor was plated to look spikey and I had a tail as long as Erebus. I also had these leathery wings that were as big as a Pine Tree. "Woah...." I said, stepping closer to the crystal. Where my eyes were supposed to be were these small black crystals. "How many tries?" Diana asked, beginning to walk around me and examine me. "First." Darkrin said. "Hmm..." Diana made a satisfied sound. 

As Diana walked in front of me, she said "Time to go see the others! They're done." I closed my eyes and did the same thing with Dragon Force. I felt myself change back into my previous clothing. I opened my eyes as Diana motioned us to follow her. We walked out of the forest and saw everyone there. The dragons along with Delphi were looking amused at a tired Lucy, Abigail and Wendy. Natsu looked ready for more. "Finally!" Natsu yelled, once seeing us approach. Then he launched and blast of fire at me. I felt the darkness of the space around me give me a shield. A screen of pure darkness appeared, shielding me from the fire and swallowing it whole. As the darkness went away, a stunned Natsu was looking at me. "Bye." I said with a grin, making a flicking motion. All the shadows in the area launched towards Natsu and hit him in the face. He was sent flying into the fence, leaving everyone stunned. "Well, you guys should get going. Everyone will be worried." Darkrin said, unfazed. Everyone nodded. As Wendy and Lucy went to get Natsu, Abbey and me walked towards the truck, waving our hands to the dragons. "See you guys!" Abbey yelled. "Bye!" All the dragons said. Delphi, Rachel, and Erebus left in a cloud of green mist as the dragons walked into the forest. 

When everyone got in the car, I started it up and drove us home. When we got home, Erza was outside waiting for us. She looked pissed. "Where have you five been?" she asked. "Nowhere." I said. I walked past her and went inside my house. "That reminds me. Natsu, Lucy, Wendy. The S-Class trials are about to begin. I got word from Master." Erza said. I stopped in my tracks and came up with an idea. "Actually, I've been meaning to ask you. Can Abbey and I join the guild?" I asked. I turned around and saw Erza looking at me. She smirked and brought a stamp from her pocket and asked "Where do you want your mark?"  

~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It's been 5 weeks since Abbey and I joined Fairy Tail. Since then, whenever it’s the weekends or have a break, we would go to the guild and take jobs. Each one lasted about a day, with no damages to the town or city we went to. Master Makarov would usually cry tears of happiness when we get word to him that we created no damages in the location. Then he would get angry and snap at the others, saying "Why can't you not be like these two!" My mark was on my right bicep in ebony black while Abbey's was in artic silver on her left thigh. This guild was always so lively. People were partying, drinking, and brawling. While Natsu and Gray were in it (I even think they started it!), Lucy, Erza, Wendy, and Abbey sat at my table. Happy sat on Lucy's head while Carla sat on the table in front of us, sipping tea. "Lucy! I want a fish!" Happy whined. "Then go ask Mira yourself, you lazy cat!" Lucy snapped at him. Everyone at the table laughed at the two. "So Abbey, you were a light Dragon Slayer this whole time?" Erza asked. Abbey nodded. You see, everyone still thinks that Lucy is just a Celestial Mage and I'm just a wizard with Dark Magic and a tiny bit of Requip magic. Though, Lucy decided to get a temporary tattoo on her right cheek. It was a blue star. Aquarius' key is still around her neck. 

"Attention Brats!" Master yelled, grabbing everyone's attention. He was on the Guilds stage, next to Mira. "The S-Class Trials are starting up, so I have this years participants! With the help of Erza, we brought it down to 6 people! When I call your name, come stand beside me on the stage. First is... Natsu!" When Natsu heard his name, he grinned and ran up to the stage. "Next up is... Lisanna!" Mira's younger sister got up from the bar and walked up the stage, shyly. "Next is... Robert!" The guild grew quiet as I got up from my seat. I slowly walked up, my new black bicker boots clanking against the ground (A gift from Erebus). The thing about these boots is that whenever I wear them, they give me this mysterious and dark aura which expands at every step. Slinged over my shoulder was my book bag with a very specific book I 'borrowed' from the guild Library. When I got to beside Natsu, I just gave the guild an expressionless look. "Okay then... Next is... Elfman!" Master called. That made the guild snap out of their trance and cheer. The next two people were Gray and Juvia. Juvia cried so hard that the guild almost flooded. She was saying something along the lines of 'not being able to partner with her precious Gray'? I just sighed and snapped my fingers. All the dark corners in the room along with the shadows opened into a different dimension and swallowed the water. 

I closed the dimensions once all the water was gone and Juvia stopped crying. "Thank you Robert." Master said. I just shrugged my shoulders. "Well! This year, our participants need a partner, so choose one! The trials start tomorrow!" Master finished off. All us contestants nodded and walked off the stage. I walked to Abbey and gave her a soft smile and a raised eyebrow. She just giggled at me and said "Sure!" "Hey! Luce, want to be-" "Lucy! Want to be partners?" Gray asked, interrupting Natsu. Lucy gave Gray a sad smile. "Sorry, I'm gonna be Natsu's partner." Gray just let out a defeated sigh and went off to ask Gajeel. Gajeel grinned and said yes. Hmm... 7 Dragon Slayers, and that's including Laxus... one short. I looked at Juvia and saw her come towards our table. She wore a multiple shaded blue coat with fur on the wrists and the collar. There was a split that went down her left leg that showed her light blue guild mark. She also had on a blue hat with fur along the outside and a yellow flower pined to it. "Wendy, do you want to be Juvia's partner?" Juvia asked. Oh yeah... forgot to mention she talks in first person. Wendy smiled and said "Sure!" Juvia smiled and said "Great! Juvia will see you tomorrow then!" With that said, Juvia left the guild. 

My expression darkened as Natsu sat down. He looked at me and asked "What?" I grabbed the book from my book bag and slammed it at our table. Erza had gone off with the other S-Class mages, along with Cana. "We have 8 Dragon Slayers going on the S-Class trails, whether their competitors, partners, or already S-class. Enough of our magic will do this..." I said, opening the book called Dragons of Legend. I had inserted a book mark to a certain page, so when I turned to the page, it had a picture of a black scaled dragon with a pale skinned under belly and purple swirls mixed with it. "Acnologia..." Lucy, Natsu and Wendy mumbled. "Our Queen's younger brother... corrupted by his own magic and influenced by Zeref. He will come to the island and attack..." I explained. "WHAT!?" Wendy, Natsu, and Lucy yelled, jumping out of their seats. Natsu slammed his hands on the table. "He'll try to eliminate all of us." I said. Abbey was reading the page. Thanks to those three though, we had grabbed the guilds attention. "Who'll try to eliminate you?" Lisanna asked, walking towards us with a metal tray in her hands. She was filling in for Mira while she talked with Master and the other S-Class mages. Abbey grabbed the book and stuffed it in my bag. I gave Lisanna an expressionless look. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it." I said, getting up with Abbey and leaving the guild. As we walked towards our hotel, I told Abbey "Were going to save him." Abbey nodded, understanding.
