Chương 23: Dragon God 9

"It took a while and happened way different than I imagined as a kid, but," Mattan Ginger cheerfully chirped, brandishing her hand to show off the purple guild mark atop her fist, "Looks like I'm a member of Fairy Tail now!"

"Welcome to the guild Ginger." Kinanna smiled at her happily as she went about getting around to stocking up the bar of the newly re-opened Fairy Tail Guild hall.

Romeo sitting beside his father at a table a few feet away stared at the cat themed woman, "Is this okay?" the boy asked him, "She was a member of the guild that cheated us and mocked us at every turn."

Before Macao could respond, Jet, slid into the table booth with them on the opposite side, "Eh, don't mind it," the orange haired speed mage waved him off, "Gajeel did way more damage than they ever did and we welcomed him."

"She actually never took part in that fiasco," Macao input next, "She actually kept trying to warn her former guild mates to stop."

Romeo bit his lip, "..Fine." he huffed a bit, nodding his head and letting it go.

"Never mind her," Jet said, "What I'm more interested in is this Cobalt guy, we were only gone less than two weeks, and when we came back we got our old guild back, we were out of debt and look at this-" he waved his arm out at the gathered members.

Every member was present, spread out across the guild. And there was a palpable cheer about everyone present.

"He's like Natsu-nii." Romeo summed him up simply.

"Like Natsu?" Jet questioned, raising an eyebrow in a bit of disbelief, "Look he was amazing, but there's no way someone like Natsu could do this kind of thing so quickly and efficiently."

"To be more thorough, he's like a mesh of Natsu, Erza and even a bit of Gajeel." Macao continued.

Jet was just about to reply to that, before his eyes shot wide open in shock. "What the hell is that!?" he panicked.

And he wasn't the only one. Everyone jumped up in alert, shouts of shock and panic replacing the cheerful mode from moments ago.

Because a massive force of magic power was closing in towards the guild fast. It was so heavy and dense, they could sense it without even having to try. "I've not felt magic power like this since Gildarts, or Master Makarov!" Wakaba shouted in fear.

"Quick, everyone prepare to Evacu-!" Macao shot up and shouted, but before he could finish, the power was upon the guild.

And the thick doors swung open with a pair of resounding booms as they hit the walls behind them.

"I'm back!" Cobalt cheerfully shouted, leg out stretched from where he kicked the door open, "And I even brought back someone awesome to join the guild!"

"You damn monster!" Macao shouted, eyes going wide as he fell over his seat in both shock and relief.

"Why is his magic power so much higher than earlier?" Romeo asked quietly, sweat trailing down his cheek.

"...Shouldn't you have maybe warned them?" a beautiful pink haired girl asked as she walked in behind the boy, "Your magic power has changed and grown a massive amount since you became a dragon slayer earlier."

"DRAGON SLAYER!?" the entirety of the guild shouted in shock as they stared over at the two in the doorway, eyes wide and jaws hanging low.

"FOOL!" Except Drax, who launched himself through the air towards the purple haired boy who was cheerfully grinning like an idiot, "You terrorized everyone with your monstrous power!" the lizardman roared at him, throwing a punch out at him.

One of Cobalt's hands rippled, being replaced by black scales and he caught the punch with ease. The force behind the blow sent a wave of force blasting out that sent thick heavy tables and benches flying through the air.

"Buddy, how ya doing?" Cobalt asked him, ignoring the lizardman's anger.

"Don't be so familiar with me you idiot!" Drax growled, lashing out with a kick from his position held aloft in the air.

"Damnit Cobalt you moro-!" Max joined in in the rebuking, only to be cut off as Cobalt's palm thrust to Drax's stomach sent the lizard man soaring through the air like a bullet where he crashed into the sand wizard.

"Eep!" Mattan yelped, jumping away as they crashed into the bar hard.

Jet looked over at the teenager gaping at him, "He's more like Gildarts and Natsu fused together!" he shouted in shock, a horrified fascination in his eyes as he looked the monstrous teen over.

"..God damnit." Macao face palmed from his position on the floor. "This kid is gonna be the death of me."

Romeo couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his face as Bisca burst into laughter, followed by Alzack, and Warren, and then one by one, everyone not named Drax or Max started laughing loudly.

"...What a crazy place." the pink haired girl shook her had in bemusement, a small smile of her own on her face.
