Emperor and Dragon ( A Black Clover Fanfiction)

Magnus and Yuno appear in the capital in an empty alley near the market. Around the corner the street is alive with commerce as people go to and fro shops and stalls, and kids run about playing. The air smells like an intoxicating mix of fresh foods.

"So this is the capital… Where do you think we'll find my new teacher?... Magnus?"

"(At last I'm in the Capital with all the rich nobles! I don't know what I would've done If I had to eat another pot potato…Hmmm Maybe Sammy boy's chillin out here living lavish, he'll have to treat me to a huge feast if that's the case. I can't wait to sink my teeth into all those noble perks) HAHAHAHAHA!"

"You're doing it again…"

"Alright Yuno let's get to work! We need to make some money if we're going to stay in the capital."

"Didn't you bring enough money from the pork sales back home?"

"Oh that's not nearly enough money, most of that is going to dinner. The rest is going to be used as an investment."

"Investment?" Getting annoyed that Magnus is sidetracking already.

"We'll use it to get a vendor's license and stall."

"Another get rich quick scheme?"

"Oh this one isn't a scheme. I guarantee we'll be swimming in gold in no time. We can't show up to meet the nobles looking like bums."

"OK, so what are we selling?"

"Come on Fuego I already told you I wasn't interested in a tag along…I can hear my pillow calling me from here." Galileo and Leopold accompany Fuegoleon on his duties as a magic knight. "I already agreed to join the Crimson Lion Kings when I'm old enough."

"Aww don't be like that Gali. We're getting a chance to see how a real magic knights squad operates." Leopold throws an arm over Galileo's shoulder grinning ear to ear.

"Yes, try having a more positive outlook like Leopold. The only reason you two can do this because of how exceptionally you've performed in your studies."

"So that's it, gotta start slacking…" Galileo notes quietly.

"What was that?" Fuegoleon Holds up a burning fist.

"I'm joking, I'm joking."

"This is a great learning opportunity."

"What are we learning? Nothing's happened today!"

"A magic knight's job doesn't consist only of fighting you know. We-"

"I know Fuego. Today's just sooo slow. All we've been doing is handywork, and I don't need magic for that."

"Everything has it's purpose Galileo. Besides us not having to fight means a peaceful day in the kingdom."

" Right…" he puffs a little blue smoke and keeps walking. "(I get dragged along the one day there's no real missions to be had…this is lame. I could be training or something. Speaking of, show my stats.)

"(We're looking pretty good. I'll have to reward Leo for how well he's advancing, I hear he's studying hard too. Can't wait to see how his grimoire differs from the show.)"

"I thought I recognized that ugly red cape."

"Doesn't it belong to that one loser magic knight squad the crimson kitten kings? Hahaha!"

A teenage girl and boy about Galileo's age both sporting sleek silver hair done up in odd fashions come up to the Vermillion brothers trying to make a joke. The girl has a grimoire fastened to her hip and sports a feather collared cloak connected to a blue cape over her outfit. The mark of a silver eagle.

"(Looks like I might get my punching bag today after all.) Some of my least favorite Nobles around. To what do we owe the pleasure of dealing with the silver chicken's?"

"They might be lost Gali. I think they wandered off from their farm! Hahaha!"

"Someone must've left their cages open! Bwahahaha! Or maybe they're free range chickens Leo! "

Nebra and young Solid can't get a word in while the youngest Vermillions are dying of laughter.

"Nebra, Solid that's enough." An older Silver haired magic knight in all white, with a silver eagle robe walks up irritated his siblings are being made fun of. "Don't allow the name of the silver eagles to be tarnished before you're even able to properly represent it."

"Yes brother." Both young Silva's lower their head in shame.

"Bwhahaha!" Galileo laughs at them getting scolded.

"The tiny terror of house Vermillion, Galileo was it? You'd do well to mind your manners. Throwing tantrums and acting on unruly whims…do the Vermillions not know how to discipline a child?" He lets his magic pressure bear down. "Perhaps I should correct you."

"I'd like to-"

"I'd like to see you try that Nozel." Galileo is cut off by another intense burst of magic power. Fuegoleon stands behind his brother literally burning up "You would do well to mind how you talk to my little brother."

"I wouldn't need to correct him if he had be raised properly, but then again what can you expect from savage beasts." As the tension between them rise their increasing magic power creates sparks in the air.

"Leo, Gali, stand back."

"(I could easily take Nozel down myself, but I do appreciate the sentiments.) Kick his ass bro." Following Leopold to the side of the road.

"I intend to."

"You two to do the same." Solid, and Nebra retreat from their brother's side. "I'd like to test this out." Nozel sweeps his cape back to reveal a silver rapier with fine white flower motifs on the guard and a golden handle. The guard of the sword has three sky blue gems embedded into it.

"Gali! Nozel's got a sword." Leopold mentions to his 'blind' brother.

"(Nozel using a sword? I don't remember him ever having one.)That's new."

"How will a lump of metal help you beat me? It'll melt away just like your cheap magic."

"This is no ordinary sword Fuegoleon. Behold the power of my magic sword 'Acero de Selva'.

T/N: Spanish for: Steel Jungle

"(Sounds kind of like their mother's name. I wonder if 'he' had something to do with this…)"

Nozel draws the sword and holds it high in the air. The glistening sword and intense magic pressure give him a domineering and regal air. "This power…I won't even need my grimoire for you."

"Don't get ahead of yourself now Nozel."

"Watch closely Fuegoleon. Silver flow." He thrusts the rapier towards Fuegoleon with a twisting motion, and metal petals spiral in the air. Suddenly each petal extends and shoots forward at high speeds. Intersecting spears combine into more powerful ones as they fly.

"IGNIS COLUMNA! A spiraling pillar of fire rises from around Fuegoleon's feet shielding him from the incoming attacks. "SOL LINEA" a concentrated beam of fire burst through the smoke barely giving Nozel any time to dodge.

"Silver mirror Maze!" A horizontal swipe of Nozel's sword creates a super shiny metallic sheet deflecting the beam just enough to miss. Several more sheets appear and bounce the beam around picking up more speed and is thrown back at Fuegoleon piercing his shoulder, sending him flying back several meters before exploding into flames.

"Fuego!" Leopold rushes over to Fuegoleon.

"Our rivalry ends today Fuegoleon, with this you are no longer worthy to be my opponent." Nozel sheathes his sword and turns away. "Solid, Nebra!"

"Coming!"

"Later lion losers!"

"I shoulda kicked their asses myself" Galileo grumbles before going to his brother's aid.

Leopold waves the fire away to reveal Fuegoleon with a few minor burns, on a knee glaring in the direction Nozel left. "Dammit!" Punching the ground "how could I have been defeated so easily? Can that even be called a battle? He didn't open his grimoire…" Fuegoleon sighs and looks to the sky sitting in silence.

"Big bro…" Leopold is unsure what to say as he'd never seen his older brother in need of comforting.

"You know Fuego, I know a way that you can be much stronger, fairly fast too." Galileo breaks his brother's trance placing a hand on his shoulder.

Fuegoleon smiles at his brother and shakes his head "Heh do I look that pitiful? I already know about your strange techniques, but I can't accept them. I've already acknowledged you as one of the strongest people I know, and you don't even have a grimoire yet."

"You knew?"

"If your powers were supposed to be secret you did a terrible job hiding them."

"Got you there Gali. You have a tantrum every other day."

"I don't –"

"Remember your last birthday party?"

Flashback to Vermillion estate, staff and nobles alike can be seen fleeing from the dining hall like bats out of hell.

"Run for your lives!"

"God save us!"

"Mommy I don't want to die!"

Following those fleeing blue fire and purple lightning erupts from the doorway. His siblings, Nozel, and several other capable mages present face a rampaging Galileo inside the dining hall. He's stomping the cake and throwing gifts as he burns everything around to a crisp "I SAID I WANTED STRAWBERRY CAKE!"

"Oh right…but if you know how strong I am, think of how much stronger I can make you."

"Knowing your strength this may sound all the more ignorant, especially after such a humiliating loss, but I don't want to be my little brother's student. I have to follow my own path to be able to properly lead the Crimson Lion kings one day. Forgive your brother's weakness." He rises to his feet.

"(Gotta respect that pride.) There's nothing to forgive. I know you will get stronger because you're my brother." Galileo states plainly as if it's a common fact. "We should do something about your shoulder though. It's leaking like a faucet."

"Oh crap bro don't die!" Leopold panics.

"I'm not dying…"

Galileo and Leopold are waiting outside Fuegoleon's bedroom. Galileo stands against the wall across from the doors 'looking' out the window and Leopold sits cross-legged beside him.

"You think Fuego's going to be ok?"

"Don't ask dumb questions. Of course he will, that's our big brother."

"Right…"

"Hey don't look so worried. Fuego has no pity for himself, so he doesn't need ours."

"…"

Their interrupted by a doctor coming out of the room.

"Well?" Galileo asks immediately without turning around.

"Don't worry boys, your brother will be fine. He just needs a week or two of rest for his arm and he'll be back at %100.

"That's great!" color finally returning to Leopold's face.

"Told you, you were worried for no reason. Hey are you crying."

"N-no i'm just relieved." Wiping a tear away.

"Alright it's best if we move along now. Fuegoleon needs peace and quiet so he can get his rest. I'll see myself out now. Good day."

"R-right." Leopold heads off following the doctor.

"Rest up Fuego…(That magic sword…it seemed like it was made especially for Nozel. What's more it made him stronger than Fuegoleon by such an unrealistic margin. It's definitely worth looking into, but for now…) a nap sounds good."
