Chapter 10: Bonds of trust and friendship
At Erza's personal training ground, Drake and Erza were having a small training match. Drake swung Rebellion down on Erza, who blocked it with her dual swords before pushing back to knock Drake back slightly.
She went on the offensive, swinging her swords at Drake, who blocked and parried with Rebellion. The two sliced and hacked their respective blades at each other so fast, it almost looked like a blur of shiny sparks was in-between them.
The two stop to take a break as they were chatting among themselves.
Erza: That was impressive how you bested four of our guilds strongest wizards.
Drake: Eh, I've learned that from killing demons.
Erza: Right, you are a Devil Hunter after all.
Drake: Hey Erza, can I ask you something?
Erza: Of course, what is it?
Drake: How did you become strong like this?
Erza: (smile) Simple; I became strong to protect Fairy Tail, her family. They're all I have left.
Drake: I see.
Erza: What about you?
Drake: I did it in order to survive and not lose more than he care make.
Erza: (confused) What do you mean?
Drake: Nothing, you need to worry about that. How about we go eat some strawberry dessert?
Erza: (happy) I would love to!
Drake: (smile) Wow, you're cute when you're happy.
Erza blushes as her cheeks were the same color as her hair which made Drake chuckle.
The Next Morning
The white-haired Devil Hunter came to the Fairy Tail guild hall early. He saw Mirajane cleaning the guild and decided to help her by moving some barrels. Then she offer him a breakfast which he happily accept.
Drake: Mmm... Thanks for the meal, Mira.
Mirajane: No problem.
Drake: (smirk) So, I heard a rumor that you used to be a punk when you were little.
Mirajane starts blushing in embarrassment as Drake laugh.
Drake: It's fine, I don't mind. But what changed you from being a punk to a kind and gentle person?
Mirajane: Well, It was because of what happened to Lisanna.
Drake: What do you mean?
Mirajane: Ten years ago, Lisanna, Elfman, and I went on a job to face a monster called the "Beast" who cost chaos to towns. When we face it, it was too strong for us to handle. Elfman tried his best, but the beast uses its Takeover Magic on him. He turn into his Beast Soul and he almost kill me. But Lisanna came and tried to tell Elfman to change back, telling him that it wasn't his fault. But Elfman couldn't control himself and accidentally killed Lisanna with his blind rage.
Drake: (shocked) Killed? She was dead?
Mirajane: Not exactly, she disappeared into another world called Edolas where she spent her two years at an alternate Fairy Tail. And that's how me and Eflman changed.
Drake thought about his family for a moment as images of his father, his mother, and his brother flash in his head.
Drake: (smile) At least you're all together now. And on bright side, it won't happen again.
Mirajane: (smile) Yeah, you're right about that.
When everyone arrived in Fairy Tail, Cana, Ur, Elfman, Gray, and Bisca gathered around Drake as he tell them about how he killed a whale demon name Leviathan by first jumping from a cliff than killed all demons surrounding it.
Gray: How big was this Leviathan?
Drake: Huge, Gray. It was way bigger than a normal whale.
Bisca: So how did you kill something that huge?
Drake: I once had two old weapons named Ophion and Arbiter, before I sold them to get new ones like Cerberus and all. I used Ophion to pull the Leviathan's head up, then use Arbiter to cut it completely in half.
Ur: Wow, that makes you sound like you're a badass.
Elfman: That's because he's a real man!
Gray: I'll say.
Cana: And a handsome one too~.
Cana and Ur looked at each other, giving them a nod. Cana grabbed and hold Drake's right arm to her breasts while Ur did the same with his left arm.
Drake: Girls, what are you doing?
Cana: (smirk) Hey cutie~. Are you interesting in have a girl~?
Ur: (smirk) We don't mind being with you~. Someone like should be able to handle more than one~.
Drake: Don't. There's way too many hotties in the guild which makes it hard for me to choose. (smirk) But I'll definitely gonna punish you in the bed if they keep up like that~.
The girls in the guild started blushing after hearing what he said, that made Drake laugh.
Drake: I was just joking, but I might consider.
Juvia: (blush) He might?
(Juvia's fantasy)
Drake: I'm gonna punish you for being a bad girl~.
Juvia: Go ahead, spank me whenever you want~! I'm a really bad girl~!
(fantasy ended)
Trish: (notices Juvia's reaction) Is she okay?
Kat: I think she's in her fantasy again.
Laxus: That guy sure has a bold move.
After having a nice day at the guild, Drake then went on a walk with Juvia around the town of Magnolia.
Juvia: Drake?
Drake: Yeah?
Juvia: (sad) I'm sorry have to walk with me. I'm just sad to have Gray's attention, only it was all false.
Drake: (smile) Hey, don't worry about it. You will have love with someone else soon or later. Who's not gonna love a cute girl like you?
Juvia was to blush as she starts to image she's with Drake again.
Another next morning
Drake walked out of his home, when he a loud noise than saw Lucy kicked Natsu and Happy out.
Drake: What happened?
Lucy: Natsu and Happy keep coming into my house!
Drake: (chuckles) Not gonna lie but he like the idea in a room with a sexy girl like you.
Lucy: (blush angry) Don't you think about it!
Drake: (chuckles) Easy Lucy, I was only teasing you. You know, I like how adorable you are when you're angry.
Lucy was blush even more when she heard that. When they are back at the guild, Natsu decide to fight him again. But this time, Drake want to fight him, Gray and Gajeel. And as usually, he defeated all three wizards easily without breaking a sweat.
Macao: And our new members wins again.
Wakaba: I got to handle to ya, this never gets old.
Drake: All that takes to win is my skills to kill demons.
Wendy: (sparkles in her eyes) You're amazing Drake!
Gajeel: Say bub, did your father teach you much about fighting?
Drake: No, I learned it by myself. My died when I was five years old. Then a few years later, my mother passed away.
Everyone in the guild felt sympathize for him.
Lisanna: Sorry to hear that.
Drake: It's fine.
Erza: If you don't mind me asking, what exactly happened to you after your mother passed? I know you formed your own mercenary shop before you joined Fairy Tail but... everything else in-between...
Lucy: Actually, I've been wondering about that, too.
Drake: After my mom died, I just wondered around for a while. I didn't know where I was going, I was just some kid who was lost. After a little bit though, I ran into this old lady was actually an acquittance of my dad, a weapon's smith named Nell Goldstein. I pretty much spent the rest of my life at her place and let me tell ya, that old lady was a real pistol. She taught me how to sword-fight, and even made my guns. (showed Ebony and Ivory) But she hated it when I called her 'Old Lady' or 'Grandma' and always smacked me upside the head.
Drake chuckled along with Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Wendy.
Lucy: (smile) She sounds like fun, probably get along with Erza or even Lady real well.
Drake: Yeah, she would have liked you too. And probably would have beaten the crap out of Natsu and Gray.
Wendy: So, where is she now?
Drake: (smiled faded) She's dead.
Lucy and Wendy gave a small gasp as everyone paid attention.
Drake: A demon named Gilver killed her. So, I hunted him down and killed him myself, with these. (held up Ebony and Ivory again) Only seemed right, that he'd die by the same weapons made by the woman he killed. After that, I met Morrison and he, along with the money and stuff that Nell left for me, all helped me to establish my Devil May Cry shop, and you already know the rest.
Wendy: Drake I... I'm so sorry...
Drake: t's cool, don't worry. She might be gone, but in a way she's still with me. (looked at his pistols again with a smile) Still with me even as I kick demon ass to kingdom come.
Everyone in Fairy Tail smiled.
Drake: But enough about me. Let's have a good time in Fairy Tail!
Everyone Right!
