The Dragon Father

The End of the Grand Magic Games

Today was the tag-team battle day. The first fight was Bacchus and Rocker vs Ichiya and the bunny... the bunny turned out to be Nichiya, Erza nearly fainted. The battle ended with Ichiya being victorious and Nichiya was unconscious.

The next tag-team battle was between Kagura and Millianna vs Yuka and Sherry. Kagura won... no surprise there... Millianna... supervised?

Finally came Erik and Laxus vs Alexi and Obra. Almost immediately Erik and Laxus were overpowered, but they were hanging in there.

"What is wrong with them?" Gajeel asked.

"KICK THEIR BUTS COME ON YOU TWO!" Happy screamed.

"Seriously, you're gonna pretend to beat us... that's sad," Erik sighed as he watched hologram him get beat up by Alexi.

"Yeah, you would have gotten angry by now," Laxus chuckled as Erik was punched again.

"It's been too long you two," Alexi chuckled.

"Okay, what is this about?" Laxus sighed giving Alexi a look of indifference.

"Laxus," Erik hissed.

"What?"

"I can't hear his thoughts... I can't hear his mind."

"I've waited for this day," Alexi laughed removing his helmet... it was Ivan, "I've trained for it constantly."

"You!" Erik hissed. Suddenly Erik began to cover his ears.

"Erik, Erik what's wrong?" Laxus asked moving to help Erik who was stumbling.

"So... loud... make it... stop," Erik yelled falling to his knees.

"I designed it myself," Ivan laughed fingering a small lacrima, "I couldn't let you interfere."

"Let him interfere with what?" Laxus snarled.

"A father-son reunion of course," Ivan laughed.

"I want nothing to do with you," Laxus hissed.

"Very well, I want Lumen Histoire," Ivan shrugged casually.

"What?"

"You know what; I need it Laxus, that is my chance to regain that which I've lost!"

"You're magic," Laxus guessed.

"It was stolen from me, by that monster Acnologia."

"Monster?" Laxus asked. He looked to be praying to the gods for patience.

"He's corrupted you Laxus, he's raised you to hate me but it was I who made you strong, I who made you into what you are. He was jealous; he didn't want others to be dragon slayers he wants to have control over all dragons. Can't you see, son, that monster is using you!"

"You said it again," Laxus smiled.

"Said what?"

"You called Acnologia a monster twice now," Laxus laughed.

"That is what he is, he-"

"No, that's what you are," Laxus hissed his smile fading into a scowl, "you could have killed me that day, that day when you decided you only cared about power. That's all you've ever cared about; power. You want me to bring you the whatever-you-call-it so that you can regain your power. That's all that you want and love, power."

"Lumen Histoire is Fairy Tail's darkest secret, it's the most protected shadow. If you knew about it you would help me, Laxus, I am your father and you can't change that. I am your family!"
