Chapter 1: Crime and Punishment
The sun was beating down on the town of Hargeon it was an extremely hot day which on normal circumstances would have been nothing other than a bothersome heat but considering that the past few weeks the town had been covered by nothing other than a dark sky. The people of Hargeon were reveling in the heat with joy that their sky was back to normal. They only had to thank the wizards from the Fairy Tail guild that had come to their rescue when they answered their request and finally took the mission to rid the people of the dark magic that had been haunting the people for months. The Dark guild Precision had been trying to harvest all the magic found in the town but to no avail they hadn't been able to harvest enough magic energy to do anything with it; over the last few months of harvesting magic they had only acquired a small amount because magic energy was one of the hardest things to contain.
A blonde girl by the name of Lucy wiped her brow from the heat as she helped fix up the magic shop that had been ruined in the process of getting rid of Precision. She concentrated on fixing the air conditioner giving it another good smack and started happy dancing as soon as she got the old beat up machine to start working, "Yeah! I got the AC to work" she told the old man who owned the shop stepping off a chair that she had used to be able to reach the air conditioner.
"Thank you young lady, and thank you for help cleaning up the magic shop I want you to take this as a token of my appreciation" he hands her a small device, "What does it do?" she asks looking at the contraption while the old man smiles, "It changes the color of your clothes whenever you want it to or it changes it based on your mood" Lucy smiles friendly to the man, "Thanks but I better get going. I should check and see if my friends have finished helping their section of town they have to clean up" The old man nods waving bye to the attractive blonde.
Lucy was hesitant to step outside especially since the air conditioner had just started working full blast and she knew the heat out there in the streets would be deadly, how could these people live like this? She found herself asking as she stepped out of the magic shop. She headed down to the Hargeon Park because it was the closet place to the magic shop and she knew that Gray Fullbuster was in charge of cleaning that park up from the damage. She began walking into the park when she spotted the ice mage, the park was really clean not anything like the way it looked the day before.
Gray was walking around making sure that he didn't somehow miss anything when he noticed Lucy walking towards him, "Hey Lucy, did you just get done with the magic shop?" She nodded her head, "Yeah I did, do you know if Erza is done with eight island?" As soon as Lucy mentioned Erza, Gray saw the scarlet haired woman walking towards them dragging a person along with her. Lucy knew she should have been use to this by now but Erza and her brute force never stopped short of surprising her.
Gray was unfazed just watching Erza, "This man is just another wizard from Precision, he tried to catch me off guard while I was cleaning up eight island. As you can see it didn't turn out too well for him. Where's Natsu and Happy?" Lucy huffed, "Don't even ask me right now, we wouldn't be in this mess if he hadn't destroyed everything" She was right, Natsu did tend to go overboard when facing an opponent.
The moment they had caught and disbanded Precision they realized that they had pretty much demolished the town as well. Their guild Master Makarov Dreyar had actually come down to see them and scolded the four – five including Happy – for the ruckus they had caused and told them that they were going to be fined by the Magic Council unless they stayed to help fix up Hargeon. They knew how much Makarov disliked the magic council so the fact that he had actually sided with them on this matter meant that it was something serious.
They begin walking together while Erza simply picks up the unconscious man she was dragging earlier throwing the fella over her shoulder. Even though the destruction of the town was partly their fault – and again most of it was Natsu and the Precision guild – Lucy was happy to help, "It is really hot out here" Lucy mentions looking at her feet, "I don't know I'm feeling pretty cool" Gray says while Lucy looks at him, "Gray your clothes!" she shouts as he stops in his tracks before just shrugging continuing to walk, "I did it on purpose this time" Lucy sweat dropped while Erza was pensively thinking, "You cleaned up the magic shop," she said looking at Lucy who just nodded, "You cleaned up the park" she said pointing to gray, "And I cleaned up eight island, which just leave one more section in town…"
"The Restaurant!" Gray and Lucy yell in unison, "That means while I was out there working hard that fire head got to stuff his mouth!" Gray hurried his way to the restaurant barging his way in looking for the pink haired fire mage who was busy eating with Happy, "Another round of fish for me!" Happy announced as a waiter walked by writing down the blue cat's order. Erza and Lucy caught up soon enough to find Gray and Natsu at it again, "Just say it to me again you pink haired punk!" Natsu laughed, "I will you pervy flasher!" Both boys reared up to punch each other when Erza drops the man she was carrying stepping in between the two boys punching both of them, making them land on opposite sides of the restaurant.
"I thought we weren't suppose to destroy anything anymore" Lucy says discouragingly while Happy sits on a booth eating his fish, "It's almost impossible to keep a place from not being destroyed when Natsu's in it, Fish?" he offers as Lucy jumps up, "Wait! Did you just offer me fish?" she asks in disbelief, "Too late" the cat says eating the whole thing, "Why I ought to…" Lucy was cut off by Erza talking; "It's time to go" she slams some money on the table to pay for Happy and Natsu's meal while throwing Gray and the tied up Precision dude over her shoulders. Lucy begins to walk out of the restaurant when Happy stops her, "Lucy can you carry Natsu? I'm too full to fly with him right now" Lucy sighs, "that's what you get from eating all that fish" Happy pouts while she walks back in and picks Natsu up piggy-back style.
She managed to carry him all the way to the train station when she felt him shift "Oh I'm gonna be sick" Natsu says groggily, "I am not a mode of transportation!" Lucy shouts while he covers his ears, "Just put me down, I can walk I'm up now" Lucy lets him off her back as he suddenly get's over his motion sickness, "Where's Erza I've got to get some payback that was totally uncalled for back there!" He shouts ready to fight, "She's on the train already with Gray" Lucy says stepping into the train dragging Natsu and Happy inside the locomotive, "Lucy you don't have to be so mean" Happy say, "I'm sorry Happy I'm not trying to be mean I'm just tired and ready to go home this was a long mission besides Erza has the money that we earned so I'll be able to pay my rent for the month" Lucy reassures the pestering cat with a small smile before entering the coach with Erza and Gray.
Natsu jumps into the coach as well while Happy floats above, "That's it Erza right now we're going to settle this!" He shouts grinning until the train -starts moving while Gray just laughs, "What we're you saying Natsu?" Natsu just lays on the floor mumbling to himself about how he'd never get on a moving anything again while Happy just pats him on the head, "That's what you always say" he says looking at Natsu who was laying on the floor. Lucy turned to smile at Erza who just kept a straight face, "So Erza, how much money did we make?" she asks hoping for the big sum that was promised on the request sheet.
Erza looked at Lucy with a bland stare making Lucy sweat a little, "Based on the original amount that we had earned minus the amount we had to pay back for the damage we did, minus the fee of the restaurant, minus the fee it takes to get here and back for all of us. I'd say we all made about $100.01 jewels each" Lucy fell over in her seat, 'there is no way I'll end up paying my rent at this rate' she just laid there zoned out while Happy pokes her, "What's wrong with Lucy? Did she finally notice that strange thing growing on her face?" He asks looking at her as she opens her eyes scaring him away from her hiding beside a passed out Natsu.
"Stupid cat there's nothing growing on my face!" She yells taking out a mirror to make sure the cat wasn't lying to her. She almost had a heart attack when she saw something black on her cheek but sighed with relief when it fell off, 'nothing to worry about it was just a piece of paper' she decided leaning back in her seat. After twenty minutes of a quiet train ride they made it back to Magnolia, Natsu managed to drag himself out of the train before they either forgot about him like the previous missions or before the train could start moving again.
After a few moments of laying on the ground Natsu get's up and walks toward the group grinning, "So how much money did we make?" Erza hands him his envelope of cash while he goes through and counts it, "Let's see here, $100.01…." Natsu stayed quiet for a moment, "Did ya hear that Happy we made $100.01! That's more money than usual because we normally end up with nothing" Happy floats up in the air doing circles, well happily, "Aye Sir!" He says as they all walk out of the train station.
Gray and Erza as well as a excited Natsu make their way to the guild while Lucy begins to walk the opposite way. Natsu didn't pay much attention, "This is great Lucy! At this rate we can be making more money, you know unless I keep destroying the places that we go to but I promise I'll try harder not to do that so then you have enough money to pay for all your stuff!" He noticed that she wasn't speaking to him so he looked around for her, "Hey where's Lucy?" Erza glares at him, "Do you not listen to anything? She said she wasn't feeling well and something about talking to her landlady" Natsu tried to remember her saying that but he figured she said that while he was passed out on the train.
He turned away from Gray and Erza began running to Lucy's house with happy close behind, it took him a few mintues to catch up to her "Hey Lucy wait up!" He yelled seeing the blonde while she stopped in her tracks, she turned to see him almost run straight into her, "Oh hey Natsu what are you doing? I thought you were going to the guild?"
He nodded his head, "I am and I'm bringing you with me! How can I go to the guild without my partner besides it's your turn to find us a mission!" Happy agreed, "Just try not to find something too boring!" Lucy laughs, "I was just going to go pay my landlady and then join you guys but I guess she can wait, come on fellas let's go get ourselves another mission!" They three of them walked back towards the guild.
