The Tree of Secrets
Chapter 1: Mission Start
It was normal in the guild and that meant everyone was being crazy. Natsu was fighting with Gray. Erza was enjoying some strawberry cake and Cana was drinking like there was no tomorrow. It was a normal day just like any other. Natsu then left with Happy to go get something to eat.
Happy told Natsu with much glee "Natsu, let's eat fish."
Natsu then said "Again? Fine then let's go get some. Wait! Oh no! Happy were all out of money again." His face had his jaw wide open and his eyes were blank from the shock.
Happy then scolded Natsu "How could you spend all our money? Now were going to starve." He starts crying and says "Natsu I'm hungry."
Natsu then replies with "You're the one that always buys those expensive fish plates. Let's go see if Lucy will give us some pity food. I'm sure she would."
Happy replied with a defeated voice "I couldn't help it. The fish all looked so good. Natsu you're so mean blaming it all on me." He then says in an excited attitude "Let's get food from Lucy."
They got to Lucy's house and they come bursting through the window and said "Lucy give us some food.
Lucy then replies "You want me to give you food again and have you ever considered using the door?"
Natsu then says begging on his knees along with Happy "We spent all our money on food again. We also just use the window because it's easier."
Lucy then sighs and says "Fine I'll give you some food today but we have to take an assignment tomorrow because I'm also low on money and need to pay the rent."
Natsu then replies with "Yeah, Let's do that. We all need more money but, enough with that give us some food."
Lucy then gives them bread, salad, and water.
Happy then says with a face of sorrow "Lucy where's the fish?"
Lucy then says "That's all the food I have right now. That is another reason we need to do an assignment tomorrow."
Natsu then replies with "Yup first thing in the morning." Both Natsu and Happy engorge themselves with that small meal and then pass out sleeping.
Lucy then says "They could at least go to sleep in there house but it looks like that's not happening today." She then turns off the light and goes to sleep.
The next morning Lucy, Happy, and Natsu arrived in the guild and looked at the assignment board. They were all browsing the assignment board until one assignment caught Lucy's eye.
Lucy then said to Natsu "Let's do this one." And then says to Erza who was sitting at the bar "Erza come here do this assignment with us."
Erza then said to Lucy as she came up "Well what is it."
Natsu then said "That's a good question."
Lucy then read off the summary "It says here to the strong mages in the world this assignment is an S rank assignment. The mission is to guard the Tree of Secrets on the night of the blue moon. It is a dangerous task. You have been warned and more information will be given when the mission is taken. Reward 5,000,000 jewels. Location Ezferon"
Erza then said with shock "5,000,000 jewels No wonder it's an S rank. There must be some plots to obtain this tree. The Tree of Secrets though. There must be something special about it. We should gather more members of the guild to go with us. This much money to guard a tree is insane. There has to be a pretty big danger and it's also an S rank."
Lucy then said "Okay then. I'll go ask around the guild."
Lucy came back and Natsu said "So it's going to be "Lucy, Gray, Erza, Juvia, Happy, and me."
Suddenly Jellal came up in his Mystogan get up and said "I'm going too"
Erza then looks down, blushed, and asked "Why? "
Jellal with a serious attitude said "Ultear says I should go as someone in you party because the power of Zeref is in the city of Ezferon."
Erza with surprise said "Zeref! This is a serious matter now. Okay you can go" She blushed as she gave him permission to come.
Natsu then says "What's all this standing around for. Let's go already!"
Happy then flies above the group as they start leaving and says "Aye, Sir!"
