Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or anything affiliated with it.

A.N: Fairy Tail is a very large guild, and all I have done is make it even larger. For this story and especially introductions, imagine that the lesser characters are there but I don't have time to go over them. People like Nab, Max, and a few others will be skipped over entirely, and others like Bisca and Alzack who are more prominent may make an appearance or two throughout the story.

The main reason I gave you the fans the pairing list several chapters back was for two reasons. The first is so that if a couple suddenly appears, you won't be surprised and say "Well that came out of nowhere. The second is so that you know who will be together so that if I forget someone I can just say, "oh yeah their on a date/mission/etc. with so and so."

As a final note somethings in this chapter will deviate far from the cannon, so just stick with it and enjoy the chapter. The main one that will largely effect the story is the wizard saints, I have decided to have 14 of them, but the first 10 are called the ten wizard saints and the four strongest will be called the kings of Ishgar. In the normal Manga and anime they are one and the same, but I am going to separate them. Now without further ado, enjoy my good fans.

Natsu watched amazed as all the powerful mages in front of him began to prepare to introduce themselves. Makarov being the current guild leader introduced himself first. After his introduction, Ur was the most surprised by hearing his name having not recognized it and what it meant.

"Makarov Dreyar as in one of the Four Kings of Ishgar Makarov?" Ur asked in surprise. Makarov said he was one in the same, but as he spoke a young boy came from the crowd to stand next to him. Once the boy stood next to Makarov he suddenly collapsed to his knees.

Igneel having seen that leaned down to look at the boy causing several to move back. "Another Dragon Slayer huh, tell me how you got that magic." Igneel said. The boy took a moment to regain his breath before he addressed Igneel by the name Laxus and explained that his father implanted a Dragon Lacrima inside him in the hopes of creating a son that would do his bidding.

He then explained how he was exiled though because he was a cruel and vile man. "I see; you are much like young Eric before I took him in; see me later if you wish for help controlling your magic." Igneel said before mumbling to himself about a seventh dragon and different element meaning something.

As he mumbled to himself more people began to introduce themselves. What caught Natsu's attention was when the youngest current member of Fairy Tail a boy by the name of Romeo introduced himself. When he did Wendy found herself much like Laxus earlier on her knees trying to find her breath.

People started to get worried as all these people kept collapsing, but Igneel calmed them and told them it was simply a Dragon Slayer thing. He was glad he did, because soon Sting and Gajeel both found themselves on their knees when they saw two girls called Lisanna and Levy introduce themselves.

As introductions continued on and on for a while Natsu was intrigued by the variety of all the mages he encountered. When there were only a few people left though Makarov asked to look at Eric's snake as he had a strange feeling.

After looking at Cubellios for a few minutes Makarov had noticed a magic seal and released it. In doing so Cubellios transformed into a young female girl. She was at first disorientated, but once she regained her balance she tackled Eric into a hug.

As she explained that she had the ability to change between a snake and human form using magic, but that someone had cursed her to be stuck in human form Eric found himself light on breath. The girl introduced herself as Kinana and clung tightly to Eric.

Natsu found himself laughing at the situation before he heard a commotion coming from the back of the current mages that was slowly making its way forward. "Stupid tin-can out of the way." "You're the one in the way you demon girl." Was heard as two girls bickered back and forth while fighting and making their way to the front of the mages.

Makarov let out a sigh when he heard that and simply waited for the two girls to show themselves. After another few seconds of bickering Natsu found himself looking at two beautiful girls, one with scarlet red hair and the other with a heavenly white. Natsu much like before found himself on his knees breathing hard.

Unlike before this sensation he was feeling was on a completely different level. It was almost as if he couldn't breathe at all and he felt a burning sensation in the center of his chest. 'So all of them have finally found all their mates, time is moving swifter than I would like. Not to mention I have a feeling about this Gildarts, I feel as though I am forgetting something.' Igneel thought to himself.

The two girls spared the boy a look and felt a strange sensation but put it off and introduced themselves as Erza Scarlet and Mirajane Strauss. Not long after those two, everyone else had finished their introductions and were about to head to the back of the guild where Makarov wished to have each person fight one of the mages of Fairy Tail to show their magic in action.

Natsu staggered to his feet and managed to follow after the others, but only with some assistance from Juvia. The area that was made to be their fighting area was not only huge, but Makarov stated that there were several layers of magic that help to strengthen and repair the area after every battle.

Ur was asked to go first, and she was pared against Gildarts for their fight. Igneel interested in the outcome watched closely. The fight started out with both wizards simply testing the water with each other through hand to hand combat, but soon enough magic started flying and everyone watched on amazed.

Natsu always knew Ur was strong, but watching her truly fight was something he longed to see. Every now and again he felt slightly weak at the knees, but no one else present was affected so he ignored it. As the fight continued though Natsu was surprised by how easily someone of Ur's level was being defeated by Gildarts.

The match drew to a close though when after several minutes of relentless fighting Ur feel to a knee and proclaimed she had no more magic power. Natsu tried to imagine how that could be possible though. He had never really been able to sense Ur's magic levels, but now that she said she had none he could feel her magic and it felt equal to all of his magic.

Natsu looked at her opponent Gildarts and had a strange feeling, with Ur no matter how much he trained and tried to develop his magic he could never read more than a little of her magic levels and he knew they were high. It seemed to hit Natsu in a strange way though; he realized he literally couldn't feel anything from Gildarts; not the tiniest drop or flicker of magic was felt from him.

Before he could think more Igneel rose from where he had been sitting. "That mannerism of yours, and the way you wield that magic, CRASH, you're a Clive aren't you?" Igneel asked. Gildarts looked at him strange for a moment before nodding. "That is my family name, but I didn't think it meant more than that." He said.

"So Clive's have faded into history as have we Dragons, what a shame. I see no reason not to tell all of you the grand tale of Clive's gather round. Before even the age of the Dragon Slayers, there were the Dragon Hunters.

"Hundreds of years ago tribes of all kinds used magic to Hunt Dragons for sport and glory, amongst the most successful of these tribes were the Clive's. The Clive's had created a magic that was strong enough for a single man to be enough to slay a Dragon while wielding it, this magic was Crash.

"So powerful was this magic that even some of the Clive's most powerful warriors could barely control it. Those few that could control it had to always be ever vigilant that they not lose control of their magic lest they wish to destroy and entire village. As time moved forward and the war of dragons began the Clive's were the forefront of every battle.

"As they started to die out though, so too did their magic no longer having anyone strong enough to wield it. As the war drew to its end two things happened, the first was the birth of Dragon Slayers who learned their magic from the Dragons. The second was known as Gram Clive the only ever known man to fully master Crash Magic, it was sad that his mastery was so great he was able to defeat nearly half of the remaining warring Dragons by himself while the Dragon Slayers dealt with the other half.

"I'm surprised I didn't notice sooner, you look almost exactly like Gram did Gildarts. He was a warrior of a man through and through; hahaha I still remember when the war ended and he challenged me to a fight. He said it was a way for two men to prove that peace had finally found them that they may fight one another out of choice and not for life or death." Igneel said.

"But Igneel how could you fight a human, you're a Dragon?" Natsu asked. Igneel then made a comment about forgetting things over the years he was alive. A bright light engulfed Igneel, and as I started to fade there was no longer a giant dragon, but instead a tall mid age looking man. (Imagine Ichigo from bleach's face with facial hair like Gildarts but a full beard not scruff, and of course his hair is red.)

"Igneel is that you?" Natsu asked amazed. The older looking man stretched from side to side a bit before moving to stand next to Natsu. "Of course it's me; I just forgot I could do this." Igneel said. When questioned about it Igneel gave Natsu his answer.

Igneel told Natsu that Dragons had the ability to change their appearance to that of humans, but most dragons never do either because they don't know they can or they are more comfortable in their natural form. "Having said that I'm defiantly more comfortable this way, I feel silly having forgot I could do this." Igneel said while chuckling.

At that all those sweat dropped at the now less threatening looking but still powerful Dragon King. After a few more questions everyone again resumed the matches between the new mages. A few matches passed as Eric beat a boy by the name of Elfman and Gajeel was defeated by Levy as he hardly threw any attacks. As the matches passed though Natsu noticed that much like with Gildarts he didn't feel any magic from Igneel.

A.N: I am terrible with thinking of character designs so just bear with me with Igneel please. Also I have big plans for Gildarts, and he will be much stronger than his already op self from the manga and anime. Finally, the next few chapters I plan to have lots of time pass by so I can get to the main story, but I hope to do it in a way where it doesn't feel rushed to you the reader.
