Laxus Dreyar: The Third Generation Dragon Slayer

When Acnologia had lost his mind and turned on the dragons, it was not just five dragons that choose to fight him, it was ten dragons. Bound together by a common goal, Igneel and four other dragons decided they needed to recover their strength to properly defeat Acnologia, thus they planned to send themselves to the future to regain their power with their Dragon Slayers. However, the other five dragons had their doubts with the plan as they had no guarantee they would return to a world not ruled or destroyed by the self-proclaimed Dragon King. These five dragons chose to stay behind, to sacrifice themselves and fight Acnologia head on to make sure the Igneel and the other dragons would return to a world that was not ravaged by Acnologia.

And on the day Igneel's party left Earthland, the five dragons fought Acnologia directly, sealing him away for 100 years but at the cost of one of their own. Once the time was up, the dragons rose up and the damned Dragon King with the same results. Each time, they had to sacrifice one of their number, just to make sure the other dragons succeeded in sealing the Betrayer away and leaving the world at peace, if only temporarily.

And now, the last dragon makes his final stand, but Igneel and the others had yet to arrive with their Dragon Slayers. Worried that Igneel and his group and Dragon Slayers might fail, Alastor Ekdikitis makes his own plans to defeat Acnologia and finds his own Dragon Slayer.
