Opening: Angel With A Shotgun

Chapter 1: A Solider In Fiore!

In the aftermath of the battle, a boy with black hair, lying on the ground bullet-riddled, reaches towards his blonde friend. His tears are already streaming down his face, but he does not sob. He takes a moment to speak.

"C-Cloud…"

The blonde rushes to his friend, crying himself, and takes his friend's outstretched hand. His words are lost to the boy, but that is to be expected. The black-haired boy lifts the massive blade lying on the ground to his right, and hands it to the blonde.

"C-Cloud…take this." The blonde tries to refuse the blade, but it is forced into his hands. "Take this. Use it to protect your honor, always, and remember your pride…as…a…SOLDIER…"

As his last words trail off, and the black-haired boy's body goes limp, the blonde weeps. As the blonde recollects himself and leaves, the black-haied boy musters one last act of strength, and speaks one last bit. He reaches his arm towards the sky, an image of his deceased friend appearing before him.

"Hey, would you say I became a hero?"

As the lifestream takes him, the blonde's words finally make it to him. "You did. You became the greatest hero."

The black-haired boy closes his eyes, and accepts his fate. Much to his surprise, however, as he enters the lifestream, a voice speaks to him, telling him to open his eyes. He obliges, and is greeted by a sight of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. The image doesn't last, and he is plummeted towards the earth.

As he falls towards the ground, he suddenly slows to a floating descent towards the planet. He rights himself as he descends, and feels a familiar weight on his back. You shouldn't enter danger without a weapon. He looks around for the source of the voice, but fails to find it as his feet touch the ground. He takes a look around, and realizes he is in a town.

In his moment of dumbfoundedness, he fails to notice the streak of pink hair ushing towards him. "Hey, mister! Move out of the way!"

The black-haired boy turns in time to be greeted by another male slamming into him, knocking both of them over. The pink-hair boy leaps up first, and bows in apology. "Sorry, mister! I'm in a hurry!"

As the boy with pink hair begins to run away, the black-haired boy grabs his ankle. "Damn, that's the hadest I've ever been hit…" He stands up, letting go of the other boy's ankle. "I'm Zack Fair. I gotta say, boy. You hit damn hard for a scawny guy like yourself."

The pink-haired boy cocks his head at Zack, but gets over his confusion quickly. "Oh, well I'm Natsu Dagneel. And you felt like a brick wall."

Zack gave a hearty laugh when a woman's voice called out from behind them. "Natsu, did you run into him? Did you at least apologize?"

Zack turned to the voice, and saw a girl with beautiful chocolate eyes, and blonde hair. He of course kept his cool, and walked towards the girl. "If I said he did hit me, would I be able to take you out to dinner?"

The girl blushed at this, and turned her head. "You should at least ask a girl's name before jumping into stuff like that…"

Zack did a small flair with his hair, flicking his bangs forward. "Ah, my apologies. What is your name?"

The girl had stopped blushing, but still seemed a bit sheepish to look at him. "My name is Lucy Heartifilia. Pleased to meet you, but we must be going." The girl began to walk away, seeing Natsu was already gone.

Zack stepped in front of her gently. "Where are you going?"

She avoided his eyes. "W-we're going to our guild."

Zack blinked thrice. "Gui…ld?"

Lucy seemed shocked. "You don't know what a guild is?"

Zack shook his head. "No. What is it? It sounds interesting."

Lucy promptly grabbed his right hand, and began dragging him. "You're coming with us."

Zack was a bit shocked, but quickly fell in step with her. "Okay. And as much as I enjoy holding your hand, I can walk for myself."

Lucy let go of his hand, blushing furiously as they walked. It wasn't long before he was greeted by the sight of a huge building, and he felt his jaw drop a bit.

"Wow…"

As he said this however, memories he didn't remember began flooding his head, causing him to fall to his knees screaming in pain. He saw a man in red, then a massive creature, then a fight. He couldn't make sense of it, but it ended almost as quickly as it began.

"Z-Zack?" Lucy asked, worry in her eyes.

Zack rose to his feet quickly. "It's nothing. Nothing…" Now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember anything from before his being in the town.

Lucy shrugged, and pushed the doors open to the building. "Welcome! To Fairy Tail!"

Inside, it was like chaos. Chairs were thrown all over, people were fighting and drinking everywhere. And was that…magic? Yes, child. That is magic. It flows freely through this world. And it is now that you shall discover yours. What was that voice talking about this time?

Suddenly, Lucy stepped back. "Z-Zack. Why are you using magic?"

Zack looked around, seeing everyone had stopped and was staring at his feet. He looked down, and all hell followed. The gold magic seal below him triggered, and golden arrow-like objects shot out, directing themselves at the guild members. Most were dodged, while others were blocked. That was not the end, though, as he felt a palpable shift in the gravity around him.

The members began to cy out in pain, as Zack panicked. He tried striking strange poses in order to negate the magic, to no avail. The magic wore off on its own however, and he quickly fell to his knees. Everyone glared at him, but apparently all figured out it was not intentional, and lifted him up, and laid him on a table.

"Well, that was a bit of a shock." A voice came from his right. He turned his head, and saw a short man with gray hair looking up at him."It's been a while since I've seen Heavenly Body Magic. Quite a rare find."

Zack was confused. "What?"

"You are here to join, right? We could use a mage like you!" The man said.

Zack was still a bit confused, but he nodded. "Okay. I'll join."

The man gave a bight smile. "I'm Makarov. Where do you want your guild seal?"

Zack sat up. "Uh…over my heart. I guess."

Makarov nodded, and produced a stamping device, and Zack took his shit off. The women all took a second to bask in his muscles, something that were hidden very well by his clothes. Makarov stamped Zack's chest, right over his heart. Zack put his shirt back on, and some of the girls pouted as they walked off.

Zack looked at Lucy, who was looking away with a blush on her face. "So, that was magic, huh?" He leaped off of the table, clearly recovered, and began doing squats. "I don't know if any of you felt like that, but it felt like…well, like a gate was opened in my heart, and all the power just came flowing out."

Natsu and Gray were off fighting again, and Lucy and Zack appeared to have been left alone. Zack failed to notice why Lucy was so flustered. Of course, he had never seen his own muscles, so he had no clue just why Lucy was looking away.

Lucy finally composed herself, hiding a small nosebleed with her hand. "Y-yeah. I kinda felt like that too, the first time I did it." She blushed again. "Magic! The first time I did magic!"

Zack had not paid much attention. "Now what? I mean, this looks fun and all, but it seems like it might get boring after a while…"

Lucy smiled. "Maybe we should go on a job? My rent is coming due soon, anyway."

Zack's ears perked up, and he stopped doing squats. "Sounds good to me."

Ending Song: (I can't think of one -u-)

Well, first chapter! Tell me what you think, this IS my first crossover.

Oh, and if any of you are reading this and want to give me a job idea, I'll gladly accept it.

'Till next time! Sayonara!
