Chapter 8
Gajeel's POV
After the whole fiasco in the bathroom, Levy and I head to the kitchen to get some food and to talk. I try and ignore Metalicana as he keeps talking away. Levy explains what have happened since the bank collapse and I listen to her. After she is done, I start to explain what happened to me.
"Alright, first off....Levy," I say as she looks at me. "H-he knows who we are."
"What," she says as he eyes widen as I nod my head.
"Yeah," I say as we can feel a heaviness fall upon us.
"So....what exactly happened while he had you," Levy ask me as she looks into my eyes.
"Ah well, after I woke up, he called me a guinea pig an' then he started up da machine he strapped me in," I tell Lev as I think back to what happened. "It was really painful an' I would advice to destroy it. Um....I also passed out after some time, don't know how long, though it felt like hours. But, between when I passed out and when I woke up, something weird happened."
"Weird? Like what," Levy ask me.
"Ah well, I open my eyes to just see a white place with a cave. Inside there was an iron dragon. I forget what we talked 'bout," I tell Levy.
"Ah that. Yes, the first time I saw you. I must say, it was a surprise to see a human there," I hear Metalicana muse.
"Really?! Did the dragon give you his name?!"
"Uh Yeah. His name's Metalicana. Why are ya wonderin' Shrimp," I ask her.
She looks at me as she starts to think.
"Gajeel," she says after a couple of minutes of silence. "I think that you are a Dragon-Slayer now."
"A what now," I ask her.
"Dragon-Slayers are mages who's magic can slay a dragon. So is Metalicana is the Iron Dragon, then you are the Iron Dragon-Slayer," Levy says.
"Hold on! I don't even know magic," I point out.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean that Ethernano doesn't exist. It's still there," Levy points out. "The people who use magic are just humans who have absorbed enough Ethernano into their bodies to use it's power. I'm guess that machine somehow made it posible for you to use magic. Just how did NightHawk come across this kind of information?"
"I don't think dat matter right now Shrimp," I tell her as she looks back at me. "Right now, we gotta figure out how I can control my magic."
"Which is where I come in Brat. You can't be a Dragon-Slayer without a Dragon teaching ya how to use it," Metalicana tells me.
"Yeah. Actually, when I think about it, there was only one Dragon-Slayer in the history of magic. He's long dead but," Levy says as I look at her.
"But what?"
"He...well...he wants the best person at all. In fact, he went crazy and destroyed a bunch of towns and killed thousands of people," Levy says as she frowns.
"An' whats his name then Shrimp?"
She looks at me as I wait for her answer.
"Acnologia."
(Time skip!)
I lay in bed as the moonlight shines into my rooms. I glance over at Levy as she sleeps peacefully next to me. After my disappearance, Lev didn't feel like leaving my side for the night, which I'm cool with. I sigh as I look up at the ceiling.
"Are ya gonna sleep or not," Metalicana's voice rings out in annoyance. "We can't train until ya do."
"An' how are ya gonna train me? We share da same body baka."
"Oí! Nothin' will happen to yer body Brat. So fall asleep an' ya can see what I mean by dat!"
I wince as he yells. I sigh and roll to my side as I face Lev. I smile softly as she sleeps peacefully. I slowly close my eyes as I fall asleep.
"Wake up Brat. Time to work," I hear Metalicana say as I open my eyes.
I sit up to see dat we are in a grass field outside of the same cave from last time.
"Huh. It looks like we are at da base of a mountain or somethin' like dat," I mutter as I stand up.
"Yeah. Dis is what my home looks like inside ya Brat," Metalicana says as I look at him. "Everytime ya go to sleep, we will train. Then in da real world, ya can practice in da woods with yer mate."
"Ok? An' why do ya keep callin' Shrimp my 'mate'?!"
"Well then. Looks like I'm gonna explain everythin' today an' we are gonna start training tomorrow eh?"
I roll my eyes as Metalicana steps out of the cave and into the light.
"First things first. Ancologia may have had Dragon-Slayer magic, but he wasn't a true one. He didn't have a dragon to properly train him an' dats why he went all crazy. Now then, ya ready to learn?"
