Fairy's tail - The book of the END
Chapter one - A repeating, a change... A new start...
July 7, Year X777 - Loneliness
Natsu Dragneel, a preteen boy with Sakura colored hair, was looking toward the sky waiting for Igneel, his father, to return. Hours passed, and nothing seemed to change. He sat down and hugged his knees in the small hut, built by his dad. He wore a white scale-like scarf and black pants holding up with ropes.
"DAD!" He called out, hoping his voice could reach the one who raised him.
Break of scene
Erza Scarlet, was on her way toward the guild, returning from a mission she had taken. The money from the completed mission would provide the necessary funds to buy a costume-made/magic-amour and weapons for her to use.
The mission was expected to take two weeks if traveled by the trains. However, since she lacked the resources, Erza had no means to travel than by foot. She didn't want to burden the guild, who had taken her in. She wanted to make her own income. Told them, that she would be back in a month.
She was a loner in the guild, well she did have Gray, who was more like a little annoying 'brother', he also kept trying to fight her. The boy had been the member since the year X774, while she only joined recently. The fight didn't last long. She destroyed the boy completely, which gave her the respect to take solo jobs.
"Dad!"
Erza stopped. The sound of the scream came from the direction to her right.
- Break of scene -
Natsu picked a scent in the air. It was moving closer. He knew it was not Igneel. His nose was enchanted beyond any human or animal. His sense could easily pick, that whoever was getting close, was very powerful.
He didn't know if the person was an enemy or a friend, so he did what instinct told him. He had to wait and see.
"Are you okay?" A girl with red hair, about his age arrived in front of him. She wore an iron-plate armor, covering her upper body tightly. It was sleeveless, showing her arms. It gave the girl an aura of a balanced warrior. Her armor lacked the protection to her lower body, except the leather shoes, which guarded her from knees and down. The blue skirt seemed to just be there for fashion.
Natsu looked away, trying to hide his tears from the stranger, "No; My dad left and didn't return, and I am hungry." He answered with arms crossed.
"Well, it can't be helped, when do you think he will return?" The girl asked, her face was calculating, staring at the boy. She had noticed huge footprints in the area and feared the worse.
"Don't know, he was gone when I woke up" Natsu explained with his head down.
The girl sighed. She suspected, that whatever made the footprints in the area had something to do with his' parent disappearing.
"It does seem. I have time to spare. My mission didn't take that long. I could help you make something to eat while waiting?" The red-head said with a smile.
"Really, You can make fire I can eat?" Natsu exclaimed excited.
The red-head sweat-dropped, "I don't think it's the correct phrase. Don't you mean, make fire to cook food?" She asked with round eyes and a nervous look.
Natsu stared at the red-head in confuse, "Well; we do that too, but it's easier for me to eat fire then catch animal and fish out here." He explained.
"What?" The girl comically took a step back.
"Oh, I know. You are hungry too right? Well, you can eat my fire to get your energy back!" Natsu yelled. Flames came out of his mouth and headed toward the redhead.
The girl dodged by falling to the ground, then she jumped toward the boy, pinning him down.
"What is the meaning of this?!" She yelled. The red-head was holding his body down with her own, straddling his chest. Her knees were locking his arms in place.
Natsu stared at her in wonder, "Oh. Your fire can't reach that far, okay then." He said and opened his mouth, waiting."Aaahhh"
"What are you doing?" The girl asked. Natsu tilted his head, puzzled by the red-head question.
"Oh I know. I need to suck the fire out of you myself right?" Natsu grinned and with inhuman strength. He took the upper hand and pinned the girl beneath him.
- Scene break-
Erza was too shocked by the share amount of strength from the boy to counter. Before she knew it, she was pinned down and the boys' lips touched hers.
A moment of silent...
Her fist tightened and was heading toward the boy's face, that was until he began to suck the air out of her lunges.
"Mhmf!"
The boy moved away from her, tilted his head as he was staring. Erza, on the other hand, was gasping for air comically. The boy seemed to notice something and removed himself from her.
"Sorry, I guess my weight stopped your breathing?" He asked. "By the way, where is your fire?"
The redhead turned to facing the boy. She let a dangerous dark aura escape her body subconscious. The pink-haired boy took a step back.
"What did I do?" He sweat-dropped...
Sometime later...
Ezra was cooking fish over an open fire. After beaten the boy up, she decided to catch food for them to eat. She had been waiting for the boy to wake up.
"What happened?" The Sakura-haired boy asked while rubbing his head. He seemed in pain.
"You kissed me..." Ezra deadpanned.
"I did?" He asked, "But you said I could eat your fire?"
"I never said that!" She argued, her eyes flicked in irritation.
"Oh, wait, is that fish?" He pointed to the fish on sticks, cooking over the flames.
Erza gave the boy a stoic glare, "He is sure of a simple minded, already forgotten..." Her mind told her.
"Yes, what is your name?" She asked. Ezra preferred to be direct in her approach.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, what is yours?" He answered while staring at the fish with star-filled eyes.
"Erza Scarlet" She answered and removed a fish from the fire and handed it to the boy, before took one to herself.
"That is a nice name, matching your hair, really beautiful too. It reminds me of flames" He grinned at her before starting to eat.
"Thank you" Erza answered with a smile and a small blush on her rather solemn face.
Scene break.
After they had eaten their fill, Natsu was staring into the flame.
"Can I eat the fire now?" The boy asked the girl, nearly begging.
Erza comically shielded her body with her arms in shock. "What, are you serious?"
"Yah, I am still little hungry" The boy answered.
"Sure, go ahead" She relented, looking unbelievable at the seven fish, he devoured by himself.
To the shock of her, the boy nearly jumped into the fire with his head first, eating the flames.
"So much better" Natsu said, petting his belly satisfied.
Erza was staring openmouthed to what the boy had done. "What is he?" She asked herself.
Natsu hugged the back of his head and gave her a grin, showing his white teeth. "As thanks, I will help you with your fire problem!"
"What do you mean?" Ezra asked. She didn't have any problem with fire after all.
"Well, you should breathe fire too!" Natsu explained like it was common for people to breathe fire.
"I see, then I would help you look for your dad" She answered with a bow, grateful that he would teach her new magic.
"Thank you!" The Sakura-haired boy said and was jumping around childish in excitement.
"First, you could describe how he looks..." The armored girl said with her finger pounded her cheek, trying to image the boys' father.
"He is a dragon, so it shouldn't be hard. I am not good with colors, but his scale is either red or brown, or both!..."
Erza wondered what she had gotten herself into... It was differently not how she pictured his dad.
12 November, Year X782
Erza had been looking for Natsu for a few hours. He had been isolating himself after the death of Lisanna Strauss. She knew that he didn't blame anyone, but also know that he cared dearly for the girl.
The young knight decided to leave Natsu alone since he still grieved for the girl. The guild atmosphere turned from cheery to sadness. The red-head wondered if she did the right thing by leaving him alone. It was first when she noticed Happy, who was sitting solely in the guild. She started to get worried for her friend/lover.
Lisanna was one of the shining lights, when it came to Natsu. She had something that Erza could not give him. It was the public show of affection. Her cheekiness and adorable smile could turn anyone a blind eye to the girl. Something, she had a problem showing.
When it came to the girls in Natsu's' life, Erza would rank Lisanna first. Since the day of the discovering of the 'Dragon' egg. She stepped a little back and let the girl spent more time with the 'dragon slayer'. She took more jobs alone, and in the end, It was like they were sharing the Sakura-colored boy between them.
Mirajane, who was the third girl and the elder sister to Lisanna, was also really close to him. She knew from observation, that she liked the boy/man. The elder girl likely would have tried to form a relationship, if it not was because of the rivalry between them. It was also a little turn off, since her own sister already 'claimed' the boy. It was probable the reason the older girl stepped back.
Erza believed, Lisanna was a perfect match for Natsu in every sense. She was little ashamed to admit, that Natsu and her had been more intimate and yet, hiding their relationship. Nevertheless, she did kind of pushed the boy into the direction of the white hair cutie. A part of her, wondered, if the reason for trying to get Natsu and the younger sister of Mirajane together, was because she wanted to taunt her rival.
However, she blamed herself for causing the boy a broken heart. She neglected him a little, because of her own fear, now his pain was hers. She always believed that it would be her, who was going to hurt him, if she ever admitted their relationship. But, having someone you started to fall in love with die, was not something she could predict.
With Natsu... Scene break...
Natsu was standing with his back to the sun, staring into the grave he made for Lisanna. She wanted to look into the sunset, so he decided the location should be in front of the hut. The hut was built by her, and had been used by them, when they were trying to take care of the dragon-egg as a family.
"Now you can gaze at the sunset forever, Lisanna" Natsu said with a sad smile, before placed a small bucket of flowers on the front of the tombstone.
"Natsu?"
Natsu sighed and turned to facing Erza, who was standing and waiting patiently.
"Erza?" He whispered. The girl walked toward him, ex-equipped her armor with her magic, before pulling him into a tight hug.
"I don't like it when you are like this." She voiced out. "You have been away from the guild for a week now..."
"I am sorry. I just want to..." He trailed off. His heart arched painfully every time his train of thoughts returned to the memories of Lisanna.
He might have not been intimate with Lisanna as he was with Ezra, but it still hurt. It was like a part of him was gone, and he had no idea how to fill the void.
Erza removed herself from him. He let his head down, staring on the ground. Natsu then felt her hands intervened with his, and was slowly being pulled toward the hut.
"Have you eaten?" She asked. Her face was soft, which was a rare sight, event for him.
"No, but I am not hungry" He told her, it was the truth. He didn't feel like eating.
"It can't be helped then" Erza said and pulled him down to sit next to her.
A rope made of flame was snaking playfully from her mouth, poking his lips. It wanted entry.
Natsu locked eyes with the red-head. Her face was giving a shy aura of mischievousness, another rare sight from the normal solemn stoic girl.
He shook his head, and opened his mouth, sucking the flame, slowly eating it. His face moved closer to the hers, before he knew it, their lips touched. He might not feel hungry, but he was sucking Erza dry for flames.
"You lied..." She stated with a chuckle, breaking their lips locking.
His smile finally reached the eyes as he was staring at the face of his first friend dazedly. She in return, pulled his face toward her, kissing him. It shocked the otherwise clueless boy, but he accepted nevertheless.
Sound of lovemaking could then be heard from the hut... However, no one was nearby to listen or witness the two...
Break of Scene...
Time passed and Natsu was resting his head between her breast, sleeping for what seemed to be the first time in weeks. It was a side of her. She had only shown when alone with her love, and lucky enough. The poor boy understood her reason.
Erza was scared, that what they had was all a lie. She was frightened of her own feeling, hiding herself under plates of armor. Afraid to let him in, she feared that people would use him against her.
She would never let anyone see this side of her. For the sake of the guild and her reputation, she needed to be strong and confident, strict and scary.
She had enemies, who would torture Natsu, If they knew of their relationship. They would do it just for the sake of hurting her.
It was one of the main reasons; Natsu wanted to be an S-class mage. It was to show her, that he could protect himself. The day he became S-class, would be the day they announce their relationship. It was his promise to her.
July 2, Year X784
The ports town, Hargeon, southern part of Fiore.
Erza was on her way toward her S-class Job. Due to some difficulties, the ship departure was not for two hours, forcing the red-head to wait in town.
The young knight was having a good time eating sweet, while her trains of thoughts ran its course. Natsu was on her mind. It broke her heart in sadness, whenever, she decided to take a 'job' and leave her 'love' alone.
She was a 'S-class mage', while Natsu was only a mage in their guild. She could have taken him with her, but didn't feel confident enough in her own ability to protect him in this hazardous job. The job was so dangerous, event for one as 'strong' as herself. It was possible to get killed in second, if her mind was not 100% focus on the task.
"The Salamander is coming to town!" a female citizen yelled and rushed toward a mob of 'fan-girls'.
"Natsu?" Erza whispered and picked an interest.
"What are you doing here, don't tell me, that you are following..." She asked herself, and started to head toward the screaming girls. A tick mark soon formed on her forehead as she noticed the girls fawning around, who she believed, was Natsu.
"Salamander-sama!" The girls screamed in fan-girls mode, making the redhead more annoyed.
She pushed the girls surrounding the man away with little effort. Until she was standing in front of someone, who was differently not Natsu.
"I guess. I was wrong. You are not him..." Erza said with stoic face and turned away from the man, heading to the docking area.
The man was shocked, " Hey wait, If I told you my name is Salamander..." Erza was already long gone.
Break of scene...
Lucy Heartfilia stared at the empty space, a female knight look alike, once occupied. The girl broke the charm cast on her, which she was grateful for. She wished to thank the girl, but the red-head was already long gone.
A little show of magic from the man called 'Salamander', and he was taken away by some kind of fire magic. It lifted him into the sky.
Lucy scowled at the direction of the man.
"What a jerk!" She said to no one and walked away.
She was heading to the train station, didn't want to stay in this town any longer.
"Natsu I think 'Salamander' already left town!" A childish voice forced her attention toward an odd pair. A Pink-haired boy was walking away from the train station with a odd-looking blue cat.
"Why? We just got here!" The pink-haired boy whined.
"That is because you departed on the train..." The cat commented cheekily.
"You left me in the train!" The boy was pointing at the cat accusingly.
"I don't remember that, cat does have short memories..."
Lucy giggled as she was getting near them. She heard a little of their conversation. "The Salamander you are looking for is disgusting." She told them, completely interrupting the pair.
The Pink-haired boy was looking at her with eyes full of hope, making Lucy flush in embarrassment.
"Can you tell me more about him?" The Pinkette asked.
Break of Scene...
Natsu and Happy were eating their meals, while listen to the Girl...
"Are you really paying?" Lucy asked the Pinkette.
"yeMmfh," Natsu tried to answer with his mouth full.
"Natsu says, yes" The cat answered before returning to eat his fish.
" And I am Happy" The blue cat exclaimed with a cheeky grin.
"Well, I am Lucy!" The blonde introduced with a cute wink. The odd pair nodded, waiting patiently for more info of the guy.
"Erhm, so you met this Salamander?" Natsu asked, swallowed some ramen. He was wondering if it was Igneel the girl met.
"Yes, However, the Salamander guy was using a charm spell. It's a kind of hypnosis spell. That kind of magic can make people attracted to you, but its sale was banned years okay." Lucy explained.
"Aye!" Happy commented.
"For a man to go that far just to be popular... What a creepy, disgusting jerk!" The girl sighed with an appalling scowl.
"mfhm..." The odd pair agreed.
"But thanks to a nice Lady, The charm was lifted..." Lucy said, deep in thoughts.
"I see..."Natsu sighed, the girl didn't explain what the guy looked liked.
"SO, what did the guy looked like any ways?" Happy asked after finished his third fish. "Does he look like a dragon?"
"Can he spray fire from his mouth?" Natsu added with hopes in his eyes.
Lucy was staring at them in confusion... "No... Why would he look like a dragon?"
"I have heard that a Salamander had come to this town, so we had to check it out... " Natsu explained with sadness.
"Aye, He could maybe be Igneel the fire dragon!" Happy commented.
Lucy sweet-dropped. She was not sure about believing the two. It sounded astonishing...
"No, he looks human, other than being a scum-bag... But he seems to use fire magic..." Lucy said, remembered how the guy left.
"Oh, I was hoping it was Igneel or another dragon, since Salamander sounded like a fire dragon..." Natsu pounded. His mind was miles away.
"And why would a dragon be in town?" She asked with an awkward expression. "...and something that big wouldn't be in the middle of the town anyway!"
First, the odd pair expression turned to confusion, then to shock, and last thoughtful. Natsu and Happy turned to looking each other in the eyes, before they both slammed their heads on the table with a groan.
"You just realized this now?" Lucy whispered, shocked by their lack of logic...
Time passed, and Lucy decided it was time for her to go. "Well, it was a nice date, how long are you guys planning on staying in Hargeon?" She asked, leaning forward with her chin resting on her hands and elbows on the table.
"Date?" Natsu asked with a straight face.
"Yes, since you are paying my meal..." Lucy said with a glint in her eyes and adorable smile.
The Sakura-haired boy rubbed the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "Until I find this Salamander guy myself. We will stay a bit... "
"Aye!" The cat waved.
The blond nodded and rose from her seat, gave him a respectful bow, before leaving the odd pair alone...
Scene break...
Lucy was sitting on the bench, reading 'Weekly Sorcerer', laughing to some of the news and gossips.
"Fairy's tail..." The blonde sighed and hugged the paper dreamily. She had always been fascinated by the mage guild.
She decided to stay in the town for a bit longer, no point in leaving just because she met one bad-egg. Natsu and Happy, while being little rude were fun. "Maybe with a little table manner, he could end up becoming a boyfriend-materiel" She told herself, giggling a little about her own naughtiness.
Lucy returned to reading the magazine, turned a few pages until she got to the drawing cards. "Oh, this is Mirajane of Fairy's Tail. I wonder if someone like her would be so reckless too" She asked no one. Her mind wandered toward all the careless things the Guild had done. They helped a lot of people, but also destroyed more then desired.
The blonde sat arm-crossed.
"I Mean, how do I join Fairy's Tail?... Do I have to learn some strong magic?" She giggled by her own question, wondering if she needed to learn some very destructive spells.
"I wonder, if I have to go through an interview..." She pounded, trying to image all the scenery to enter the famous guild.
"Fairy's Tails, it is the coolest..." She said and pushed the thoughts away, before sighed with a juvenile grin.
"Hey there!" Salamander jumped out from the bush, startled her.
"!" Lucy fell from the bench, "Salamander!"
"I have been looking all over you..." The man called Salamander said with a cool smile on his face.
" I really want to invite such a beautiful girl like you to the party on my ship..."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but your charm would not work on me. The weak-point on the charm is awareness. As long as I know, your love charm would not work!" Lucy told the man with an audacious glare.
Instead of making the man step back. "I knew it!" He said with a smug look.
"I knew you were a mage when our eyes met." He told her with a knowledge smirk.
Lucy was forced to take a step back. She was ready to fight him if he tried something funny.
"It's likely because I am so cute..." She thoughts, believing that it was her good looks, which was luring the man toward her.
"There is no way I am coming to a nasty guy party..." She explained with a defiant stare, pushed her other thoughts away.
"Nasty... Me?" He asked, confused.
"I am talking about, how you are using charms to get popular!" Lucy explained and pointed at the rings on his fingers.
"It was only a trail. I just wanted to be a celebrity during the party" He explained with a calm look, showing the rings on his fingers.
"You are an Idiot..." Lucy said and started to walk away.
"Why do I have to be so cute, getting attention from scum-bag as him?" Her mind told her.
The man rushed after her. "You want to join Fairy's tail... Yes?"
Lucy's attention made a flip. She stopped and tilted her head to look upon the man with a questioned look.
"Have you ever heard of the Salamander from Fairy's Tail?" He asked.
"I have!" Her eyes went wide open. She couldn't believe that this guy was from her dream guild...
"You are one of the Mages from Fairy's Tail!" She yelled, still not believing the man.
"Well, Salamander at your service..." The man said and knightly bowed.
"It will be a wonderful party, won't it?" Lucy said and pushed her head toward the man's chest with worshiping eyes.
"Y-your personality is easy to understand, huh?" The man chuckled with a little sweat-drop.
"C-can I really join the guild?" Lucy exclaimed dreamy.
"Of cause, but please don't tell anyone about the Charms..." The man told her.
"Okay, OKAY!"
"I will see you at the party then..." Salamander said and turned to walk away with a wave.
"Roger!" Lucy yelled after the man, waving like a fan girl.
It was in that moment which the man was out of view. Lucy's mind returned to normal.
"Rah! I fell for a pseudo charm!..." Her head lowered in shame.
Then another realization stuck her.
"I can finally join the guild!" She yelled and jumped with fist in the air.
"Woohooo!"
"I will just have to be friendly with the idiot... thihi..." She giggled to her 'master plan', before calming herself down a little.
"Idiot?" Natsu asked, interrupting her train of thoughts.
Lucy turned around to the sound. She was still thrilled about being able to join her dream guild, that she hugged the boy without care.
"Hi, Natsu, Happy, what a lovely day... Salamander guy said I could join his guild!" Lucy screamed in exciting...
"Really?" Natsu asked, wondering which guild it was.
"Oh, Sorry... But I need to get ready... See you later!" The blond said and rushed away.
Natsu and Happy looked at each other. "So that was Salamander..."
"It is confirmed, Natsu. That guy don't look like a dragon." Happy said, still looking at the empty spot the girl had occupied.
Scene break, Night time...
"We been walking all over the town... Where should we head next, Happy?" Natsu asked. He was getting tired...
"Hey look, that is the ship... Salamander-sama's Ship!"
Natsu tilted his head around to look at two girls, one with black hair and the other blonde. The dark-haired one was pointing to a light in the ocean. He narrowed his eyes, and spotted a lonely ship. It looked like it just left the docks an hour ago.
"Aaawwww, I Wanted to go to the party too..." The black-haired girl exclaimed with a wistful look.
The other girl had one hand on her hip. She narrowed her eyes at the ship.
"Salamander?" She asked.
"You don't know about him? He is the great mage, who is currently in town..." The girl with a dreamy look explained.
"I do know about a Salamander..." The other girl argued. Her eyes narrowed at Natsu. She just spotted him staring at them.
The girl next to her didn't seem to notice. She moved her hands to her heart. "Yes, they said, that he is from Fairy's tail!"
"Fairy's tail!" Natsu said with a hatred whisper, forcing the girls to really noticing him.
"Aren't you the Salamander from Fairy's tail... Shouldn't you be on your ship?" The blond-girl asked, making the black-haired girl look at the boy and her friend in confuse.
"He is from Fairy's tail, you say?" Natsu asked the black-haired girl, making her step back in fear.
"Natsu, Lucy said, that the' Salamander guy' did ask her to join his guild..." Happy commented.
All tree humans were now looking at the cat.
"Wait... wait, there is two salamanders in Fairy's tail?" The black-haired girl suddenly asked.
"I don't know who this 'Salamander' is, but I never seen that guy's face in the guild!" Natsu told them with a glare on the ship.
Flames erupted beneath his feet and like a rocket, he flew toward the ship, leaving Happy with the two girls.
"I better get the authorities... " The blond-girl said, dragging her friend with her.
"What, I don't understand?" The black-haired girl yelled.
"That Salamander on the ship right now is a fake!" The blond said and showed her a special edition of Fairy's tail members. "See, this is a special guild picture, only 100 had been made, with copyright magic in place!. .That guy who just flew away is the real deal!"
"But... but"
"Ya, I remember that!" Happy pointed at himself. Somehow the cat ended between them.
"Look, there is a text above Natsu's head... Salamander!"
"Wait, Natsu is Salamander?" He asked the blonde, the girl shrugged.
Happy then stare at the ship... "Lucy said, the guy used charm on people!... " The cat suddenly jumped to the air. Angel-like wings puffed behind him and he was soon flying toward the ship.
"Natsu, we have to beat that guy! He also took your name!"
Scene break...Later on the ship
"So, you name is Lucy, what a pretty name" The man said with his lips tilted up, making him look handsome.
However, Lucy was disgusting by the 'Salamander' guy.
"I can do this..." The voice in her head repeated.
"Thanks!" She answered with a fake smile. If the man noticed it was fake, he didn't comment.
"Let's toast with a glass of wine, shall we?" He offered and started to fill one of the glass with red wine.
"Don't you need to attend the other girls?" Lucy asked, wanted to be left alone. Her mind was repeating "Patience".
"I just feel like drinking with you?" The man said and with a lazy wave of his hand over the wine, the liquid lifted up in small balls, heading toward Lucy.
"Argh, he is annoying!" She screamed in her head.
"Now, try to open your mouth and let the pearls of wine slowly come in..." He told her with closed eyes and a fake assuring smile.
"Where did he get all this pickup lines from?!" She asked in her mind, but opened her mouth nevertheless, waiting...
Suddenly, she swapped the wine away with her left hand. "What are you planning?" She asked, sending him a deadly glare.
"This is sleeping drugs, it's is?"
"Ooh, how did you know?" He asked and playfully bowed in defeat.
"Don't misunderstand me. I really want to join Fairy's Tail, but I have no intention to become your girl!" She said with hands on her hips, sending daggers with her eyes.
"What a handful girl, you are..." The man chuckled, nodded to something behind her.
"You are a bad girl, if you just sleep peacefully. You would not have to get hurt" A man said behind her, grabbing her arms.
Lucy turned her head around to look behind, noticing many more men standing. They all had one thing in common; they were carrying sleeping girls on their shoulders.
"Good work, Salamander-sama" One of the men said.
"What the heck is this?" Lucy screamed in panic. "Who are you?"
"Welcome to our slave-ship. I must ask you to be silence until we reach Bosco" The salamander guy said with a chuckle.
"Wait, Bosco... What happened to Fairy's Tail?" Lucy exclaimed in fear.
"Just give up, you are our merchandise now... " Salamander explained with a smug grin.
"Then the other girls..." Lucy finally understood. These guys were slave-trader.
"That is our Salamander!" One of the men yelled.
"This girl is immune to charm, so we have to train her a little before reaching Bosco..." Salamander told the men, making them all glee with exciting.
"Why you..." Lucy yelled, only making the men laugh at her.
Booom!...
A Sakura-colored hair boy entered through the roof, a hole he made with a single hit of fist.
"Natsu!" Lucy yelled, remembered the guy who invited her for a meal.
Natsu was hovering in the air, a steady stream of flames from his feet was keeping him up. "Fairy's tail!" He yelled at the man.
Lucy didn't know why her friend acted with hatred, but it did look like the Pinkette disliked anything related to the guild.
Salamander sent a sphere of fire toward Natsu. The fireball hit the boy and explode in huge ball of flame.
"Natsu" Lucy yelled, believing her new friend was killed by the attack.
"I hate interruption, you got someone else trying to rescue you?" The man asked with a lazy attitude, like it was daily stuff.
"Gross, what a nasty flame, are you really a fire wizard?" Natsu asked, with a gleeful grin, slowly eating the flames.
It shocked everyone and not a single person staring at the boy, could believe their eyes.
"Natsu, that guy pretend to be you!" Happy arrived, "I think he is trying to make a harem!"
Natsu licked his lips..."What? Really?" He asked the man with huge eyes.
"Stop it you two... He is turning girls into slaves!" Lucy yelled.
"Right..." The boy said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "I might forgive you for pretending to be me, but using the name of Fairy's Tail... I am all revved up!"
"Bora-san, I know him. He is the real Salamander" One of the man said, pointing at the pink-haired boy in fear.
"Don't Call me that!" The man now known as Bora yelled. It was his last words. A fist made of fire hit him right between the eyes.
The men were shocked and Lucy managed to get free. She took a golden key out. "Now your dirty scumbags. It is my turn... Gate of the golden bull, I open thee!" Lucy yelled.
"Taurus!"
A cow-like man materialized out from nowhere.
"Oh, Lucy, you still have nice boobs!" Taurus said with heart in his eyes.
Lucy face darkened, sweating. "Not know, can you beat these men up, they are trying to turn women into slaves..."
"I do anything for you, Lucy with nice boobs!"
"Why does every male characters she knows a pervert?!" Her mind screamed in agony...
Scene break, sometime later...
Natsu was still hovering in the air. They had defeated all the men on board.
"How long can you remain flying?" Lucy asked after waking the other girls up.
"So long as needed" He told her with a confident look. The blond nodded and started to explain to the other girls what was going on.
"Natsu... I finally turned the ship around... It is heading back to the town." Happy said pointing at the land, which was getting closer in a fast rate.
The girls cheered excited toward their hero, making Lucy and Natsu blush in embarrassment.
"Good... " He was interrupted as the steam of fire beneath him suddenly stopped and forced him to the deck. The movement caught everyone off-guard, as the hero fall to his knees, then to the ground. His face turned green.
The girls, who were looking at the young man, all had the same thoughts..." That was rather lame..."
"Oh, I forgot to tell that Natsu has motion sickness, that is why, I put the ship to full speed... So he can get off faster..." Happy told them cheekily, everyone turned toward the town with an odd expression.
"Shouldn't we be slowing down about now?" A girl asked, pointing toward the income dock and few parking ships...
"Why?" Happy asked in confuse...
Booom...The ship rammed into the dock...
Scene break...
Rune-knights were standing around Lucy, Happy and Natsu. "We are grateful for the help, but you guys destroyed half of the dock and a few ship?"
"Aye" The blue cat yelled.
"However, we will let it slide..." The Rune-knight captain said, as he eyed the citizens, whom was sending him glares.
"Oh okay..." Natsu said. His mind couldn't believe, that he was getting off with only a verbal slap. Normally, they would try to beat him up, or lock him in a cell for damaging stuff...
The rosy haired boy turned to Lucy, grabbed her wrist," Come on, we heading home..."
"Home?" Lucy asked perplexed.
"Yes, to Fairy's Tail?" Happy explained to her.
"But... Why?" The blonde still didn't get it.
"Because you are an awesome mage!" Natsu said with a grin, making the girl blush.
The people around them started to whisper... Natsu didn't really understand them. However, he gave Lucy his most assuring smile, showing his white teeth that caused some of the girl to awe with hero-worship and dreamy smiles.
Not knowing, that on an island to the far south of the town. Erza was heading toward a volcano. "Why do I feel that Natsu did something, I am not going to like?" She asked herself, a form of jealousy consumed her.
The monster hiding on top of the volcano was watching the red-head. He just didn't know it would be the last thing he saw... Because, Erza was angry, very angry... But that was another story...
To be contined...
AN/
Like dislike, Does it feel like cannon... believable characters?
If you guys know me. I am not turning girls into Airhead... Just because they fall in love... I am not making them into submitted love-sick puppy either... Really guys?...
Just saying, that it is not my style... I will play with hormones and stuff... but making girl too silly and submitting... seemed rather off and not real...
Not an exploited smut... Don't need it... But it's M-rated for mentions of some stuff that people would get to jail, if they ever did it in real life... But this is Anima/cartoon/manga.. Everything is overestimated...
Like this... You see someone hit a person in anime... It is not abuse!
Duh...
