The Universal Dragonslayer (Fairy Tail x Male Reader)

Chapter 18: Back in the fight

When day break came, an urgent meeting of a few guild members was called.

Makarov explained that Lucy had been taken by the royal guard and is being held captive.

Makarov: What I wish to do is devise two teams. One will participate in the games today. They will be our front for the second team who will be going after Lucy.

Natsu: You better allow me to go after Lucy.

Natsu punches his fists together.

Natsu: I've got unfinished business with them.

Makarov: Simmer down Natsu, I've already thought if the teams. Theres only one thing I need to make sure of.

Makarov turns his head to look at you.

Makarov: (R/N), hows that wound of yours?

You: I feel as good as new master.

Makarov: Good, how do you feel about replacing Natsu in the games?

You: Hell yeah. I've missed out on a lot. I want to compete more.

Makarov: That's the spirit! With that I think I have the teams down pact. Mira, Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carly, and Patherlilly will all go after Lucy. Erza, Grey, Laxus, Gajeel, and (R/N) will fight today. I trust in you all.

Laxus: The games are going to start soon. We should get going.

Makarov: You're right. Natsu, your group should get underway.

Natsu: Sure thing.

You: Show the kingdom what Fairy Tail wizards can do.

Natsu: I expect the same from you. No one will be able to take you on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Colosseum was louder than ever. You were surprised to hear people chanting Fairy Tail's name.

You stood by your teammates proud and ready for today's event. War. Every competing wizard would be set loose on the town to fight until the last team standing.

Erza: (R/N), you remember what Mavis told you right?

You: Of course I do. It's not like I have the hard part. All I gotta do is run around and help you guys if yah need it.

Erza: We're trusting you if things go south for support.

You: I've got your backs. Don't worry. Nothing should interfere this time around.

Mavis gave everyone on your team a strategy. Your job was to act as the wild card. You were to run rampant in the town and fight any wizard you came across. If one of your teammates needed help, they would shoot a magic flair into the air. You needed to come to their aid, but this was only as a last resort.

Mavis appeared next to you. She brough you down to her level and whispered in your ear.

Mavis: Try not to lose your mind out there. I know what you can do. Keep your head leveled and you'll do fine.

You: I can't promise anything. Theres so many new things I can do that I have no clue of what they do. Nor have I had any practice with them.

Mavis: You'll do just fine. I believe in you.

You: If you say so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The teams were called out. A part of Mavis's strategy was to not move an inch until the time was right.

The announcer make the starting speach and sets all the teams out on the battlefield. The war game had officially begun. Not a single member on your team moves.

The announcer sounds confused at everyone's lack of movement.

After a few minutes a voice in your head is heard. It was Mavis giving the order to commence the strategy.

Mavis: Alright, everything is set. Go forth and prove that Fairy Tail is number one!

You open your eyes and dash directly forward as your team breaks apart.

You: Ok, so we begin. I'm not ment to actively search for an opponent so I just need to run around.

You heard a huge explosion off in the distance.

You: That was god slayer magic. Must be the kid from Lamia Scale. Girl's got serious power for a someone her age.

A rush of cold catches your attention.

You turn twords the sorce and are hit by a what looked like a bird made of ice. The bird shattered on impact.

You: That was Lyon's doing. Come out Lyon! I know that was you!

From above on a roof top you see the ice mage that fought you on the second day.

Lyon: I was glad to hear that you returned from your little disappearance but that doesn't matter right now. I demand a rematch!

You: You sure you wanna fight me again? Last time I checked, you lost.

Lyon: I'm sure I want to. This is something that's been on my mind since you beat me.

You: I gotta warn you man, I've only gotten stronger. I'm not in the mood to keep a fight going longer than it needs to either.

Lyon: Don't be so cocky. Let's get this started.

You: Your funeral.

Lyon cups his hands together and shouts.

Lyon: Ice make! Lance!

A sharp shard of ice is hurled your way. You didn't bother to dodge. You simply swiped your hand to the side as the mass of ice was about to touch you. This shattered it.

You: Last warning Lyon. If you want to stay in the fight then I suggest you find a different opponent. I can assure you that if you don't, your next attack will be the last of this game.

He hesitates for a moment.

Lyon: I won't back down.

You: So be it.

You extend your arm in front of you, your hand stretched out and pointed at Lyon.

You: Let's try something new. Hmm... he used a lance... I wonder if this will work? Universal dragonslayer lance!

An impossibly fast beam of starry magic shoots from your hand directly at Lyon. He never saw the coming when it hit him.

He collapsed on the roof right where he stood.

You: Uh oh.

You climb up on the roof. Lyon was shaking from the shock of the attack.

Lyon: H-how d-does that kind of p-power exist. W-what are you?

You: I don't know. But I did warn you ahead of time. You should have listened.

You hear the announcer shout.

Announcer: With a single blow (R/N) from Fairy Tail has taken down Lyon! That is a point secured for their team.

You: Sorry man, better luck next time.

As a courtesy to Lyon, you put him on ground level and propped him up against a building.

Lyon: Before you leave, tell me how you changed like that. You're not the same person I fought a few days ago. You don't even feel the same.

You: I wish I could tell you but in all honesty, I don't know. My past has got something to do with it. The funny part is that I don't remember my past.

Lyon: I guess we all got our issues. I'd say good luck on the rest of the games but... you probably don't need it.
Lyon looks over your shoulder.

Lyon: What's that in the sky?

He points twords a tall structure across the town. A scarlet ball of energy is floating in the air.

You: Shit, that's Erza's flair! Mavis did say that she was unsure what Erza would run into. I gotta get there.

You stand up and say goodbye to Lyon.
