Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Years had gone by and Dragon was now walking back into Magnolia again. He had wanted to leave but a strange feeling was still lingering inside his heart. He figured that he still had something to do here, even though he had no idea what that was.

"Oy, Master Dragon. Welcome back home!" On the bridge that was built over one of the city's canals, stood a young man. It was Rainer, one of the young boys Dragon had met all those years ago when he first arrived here in this world.

"Thanks, Rainer. How are you doing?" The winds were always strong around him and since his power never stop growing, the whole town was full of incredibly strong winds. Everyone understood that this was a sign that Dragon was back in town. He was incredibly well respected here. His power was feared and he was respected by everyone, not just the guild.

He had also bough perfect energy manipulation, just to be sure he never killed anyone on an accident that he didn't want dead. So coupled with instant mastery, he had every ounce of his power under perfect control. No matter how much it grew he would never lose control.

"I'm fine, thanks. I've decided to join fairy tail soon since I have pretty good control of my magic now. I think I am strong enough to join your guild now." He said and flexed his arms.

"Strength has nothing to do with it. Fairy tail is looking for comrades and not soldiers. And it's not my guild, because I'm hardly there. Mavis and the others are the ones running the show. I'm simply back here in the shadows taking on quests for the sake of money and adventure." Dragon said but with no emotions on his face.

"Master Dragon, you need to start smiling a little or you will never find yourself a good lady to settle down with," Rainer said with a big and teasing smile.

"Stupid boy. Run along and practice your magic. You can't slack off or you will never beat me in your short life." Dragon waved him off and continued walking as normal towards the guild building.

He quickly came up on the guild and already out here on the street, he could hear the party going on inside. He heard the drunken yelling of Mavis and the complaining of Precht.

The doors to the guild flew open by a strong gust of wind and Dragon walked through the doors and watched as all eyes landed on him. He saw many new faces and also the same old he had known now for years.

"eh, who the hell are you to barge in here and disturbing the party?!!" A very drunk guild member walked up to Dragon and stared him in the eyes. The fact that Dragon was over 2,5m didn't seem to register with this man.

"I am Portgas D Dragon. I am a member of Fairy Tail, nice to meet you." Dragon said with a calm and neutral look on his face.

"AAH, and why have I never heard of you then?!!" The man said now circulating magic in his body, ready for a fight. He put some strength behind his fist and tried to punch Dragon in the stomach. The fist was simply caught by Dragon without any effort and he threw the man outside onto the street.

"Go sober up. you're too drunk." Dragon said and walked deeper into the guild, still with no emotions on his face.

"HA, HA, HA, THAT WAS FUNNY DRAGON. WELCOME BACK!" Mavis said while standing up and yelling so it echoed all over the guild. Everyone had to cover their ears because of this.

"Tone it down will you." Dragon said while he sat down at the counter and ordered a drink from the man behind the bar.

"How did the mission go?" Warrod said and he was the only one not drinking at the moment.

"Success of course. There were no rouge wizards, it was just weak bandits. That was definitely no S-class mission." Dragon said with disappointment. He was almost ready to leave now. He felt he had experienced what this world had to offer at this time. He wanted to meet Natsu and the rest so he would return eventually but for now, he was thinking of leaving and exploring another world.

"I see. My bad for recommending that one to you. I'll let you choose your own this time then." Mavis said and smiled kindly, of course still very drunk.

"Mavis, this time I think I'll be away for a while. I have somewhere I want to go and I might never come back again, it all depends on what I find over there." Dragon said and Mavis and the rest of the founders sobered up immediately.

"Where is this place and why must you go there?" Yuri said from the side with a concerned face.

"I can't tell you, Sorry. I just don't want any of you to get any stupid ideas and try to follow me there. But I will hopefully return in the future and see you all here again." Dragon usually stayed for a week every time he returned but this time he headed up stairs to take on a final mission.

Dragon picked up an elimination mission. It was a request to eliminate a new and upcoming evil cult before they became too powerful to fight. They had been growing fast and no one knew how they had managed to do this.

"Let's hope for a real cult this time, shall we." Dragon waved his hand towards the rest of the guild on his way out the door and again like all other times, he disappeared like the wind.

"Mavis, do you think he'll return again?" Yuri asked his guild master.

"ha, ha, definitely. He has all the time in the world after all." She said in a mysterious tone and continued drinking while ignoring the questioning gazes of all her guild mates. Precht became especially interested in what she just said.

-----------------------------------

Dragon had travelled for thousands of miles and finally, he arrived in front of a cave that was hidden deep inside a forest area. The information didn't specify their location, but for Dragon that was not an issue at all. He sensed everyone inside the cave and he even picked up on people that didn't seem to be part of the cult, but was actually prisoners.

"Observation Haki sure is useful in this situation. Why doesn't everyone in that world practice this, it's so useful." Dragon said and walked towards the cave. He saw two people in front of the cave that was dressed like bandits.

'Make it look like a bandit cave. The is certainly not as high as it would be if they were wearing robes.' Dragon walked up to the cave and startled the guards sitting outside.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" One of the two cult members drew their sword and pointed it at Dragon. The stance showed that he was quite proficient in the art of the sword.

"Not a bad stance there, youngling. But that's not enough to defeat me. Surrender or you will die." Dragon said while standing in a lax position.

"Don't screw with us. Night guides us, so we can't die!" He screamed while running towards Dragon, not minding his height at all. He slashed out horizontally towards Dragon, wanting to separate him in two pieces.

"Too naive!" Dragon stopped the sword with just one finger and a fast but powerful wind gust appeared and sliced the head of the young cultist.

"WHAT!!! HOW DARE YOU!" These people didn't seem to know fear at all. The other man showed no fear even after what Dragon did here.

"Die!" This was all Dragon said and another gust came and claimed the life of the other young man.

'Now to rescue those prisoners.' Dragon walked into the cave and immediately he saw many tunnels, and he followed the one that would take him to the prisoners.

"WHO ARE YOU!?" In a big circular room, many different cages were placed on the floor and they were filled with man and woman looking all beat up. They all reacted to the guard screaming at Dragon. None of them had lost hope on getting rescued. They were all incredibly strong-willed people and they all hopped for rescue.

"I'm here to take those back with me and destroy the little cult that you have set up here." Dragon said and the light in the eyes of the prisoners got brighter at every word that came out of his mouth.

"Bastard! Try that, and I'll kill you." A middle-aged man said and signalled the other men in the room to draw their weapons.

"I don't even have to try." Dragon appeared behind the middle-aged cultist in less than a second and grabbed him by the throat and snapped his neck. The other didn't even register he had moved at all. They were all staring at where he had been standing, and so was the prisoners. No one noticed him moving.

"KILL HIM!" The others rushed at him, but a strong gust of wind blasted them all into the walls of the cave so hard that their heads split open. They also had multiple cuts all over their bodies, thanks to the gusts of wind.

"That should do it." Dragon said and waved his finger and all the cages were cut into pieces by the wind that appeared out of nowhere. The prisoners just stared at Dragon without moving, all but one woman. She was young and beautiful, just like a goddess. At least according to Dragon, she was.

"Eh, Sir? Are you there?" Dragon lost his ability to speak momentarily. This woman had literally made him lose all words in his brain.

"Eh, y-yes. Sorry. I just got lost in my own head their for a second. Are you okay young miss?" He asked while looking a little awkward at the same time.

"Yes. Thanks to you we all are. At least the ones that are left." She said, looking a little sad. Dragons guessed their rising in strength had something to do with sacrifice. That would explain this mass of people.

"No worries. Go wait by the entrance to the cave. I have cleared the forest of danger so wait there until I am done in here." He said to the rest of the group. They all nodded and smiled at him. Their spirits were still going strong.

'These people are very impressive. But what was that woman, and what was that feeling I felt right there? It felt like she stole all the words I had in my head. I have never felt anything like that.'

Dragon watched the last of the people leave the room, and then he finally proceeded further inside the cave by himself. There was multiple cultists in every room ahead and Dragon sent a gust of wind to kill off them all. That was until he came to the last room of the cave.

'What the fuck! I am pretty cruel, but this is an entirely different level. This is nothing but pure and utter evil.' Dragon was standing at the entrance to the last room in the cave. It was a huge room, with about 50 meters in height and 30 meters wide.

What shocked Dragon was what happened in the middle of the room at this current moment. In the middle of the room, there stood a huge cauldron and a fire underneath it. Above it hung a cage filled with both men and woman.

"So this is how you fuckers have been increasing your strength. What the fuck kind of ritual is this anyways." Dragon said, startling the people standing below the cauldron.

"Who are you?" Said someone that had his face covered by a mask and a hood.

"A giant, boss? I didn't know they existed." Said another person besides the masked individual.

"Doesn't matter. Kill him! He has seen too much!" The masked man didn't even bother looking at Dragon anymore.

"My pleasure. Come here ant." The man said and prepared to draw his sword, only to find out that he couldn't. A massive hand was keeping his own arm in place, so he couldn't draw his sword.

"I am not longer in a mood to play with you." Dragon said and karate shopped the man's head so fast and hard that the head exploded into a thousand pieces.

"WHA..!" The masked person found a hand gripping his throat and he couldn't breath at all. He tried to move his body, but something that felt like the wind was locking down his body completely.

"Suffer!" Dragon said with a low and dangerous tone. He created a vacuum around the man's head and made sure the masked man suffocated at the slowest possible rate.

"Damn, at least I feel a little better now after doing that." Dragon dropped the body and pushed the big cauldron aside so he could release the people without dropping them to their deaths. Same as the others, winds came and cut apart the cage and the prisoners dropped down slowly because the winds carried them down towards the ground.

"T-thank you so much, Sir!" A man got down and bowed to Dragon in respect. The rest followed suit and bowed as well.

"No need. Come now, we have to get out of here. Most of you need medical attention." Dragon started walking and the people followed. On the way, they saw all the cultist cut apart and they got more and more respect for Dragon.

"Sir, did you do this yourself?" The man that started the bowing asked respectfully.

"hm? If you are referring to the bodies, then yes." Dragon said, but he didn't turn to look at the man. He was focusing on what he would say to her when he would meet her at the entrance.

"That's amazing! You're a wizard, right?" That young man in his late 20s asked while getting more excited.

"Yes, I belong to the Fairy tail guild. It's in Magnolia so go there if you ever need anything done. You can't get better wizards then that." Dragon said that from his own experience, but also because he kind off knows the future members a little. He had read most of the manga so he knew a fair bit about them all.

"I will definitely join you guys in the future. I am a wizard as well." He said proudly.

"That's good then. Make sure you do that!" Dragon said and just then something sounded out in his head.

*DING*
