Prologue
Neo Queen Serenity stares listlessly out at the horizon of the Queendom she ruled over, she had long since died in spirit, it was only her body that still existed. In some ways she wished Diamond and his ilk had killed her, at least she would be free. Small Lady had her Pink Moon Crystal, maybe she could finally be free, finally be able to choose for herself. She surrenders her immortality and the next assassination attempt takes her life, she was quick to wish on the crystal that she would have a new life and be free to make her own choices.
Fiore Kingdom:
Alexis Heartfilia smiles happily as she looks down on her little girl, a beautiful little girl with sapphire eyes and blonde hair. Alexis knew her little girl would be special. As the years go by she has Serena Heartfilia taught Requip Magic, Teleportation Magic, her own Fire Make magic, and Dispel magic as well. It was only when her dear niece Lucy Heartfilia died that Serena learned Celestial Spirit Magic. Lucy had been killed in an assassination attempt on her father. Serena makes new contracts with all of the keys Lucy had and vows to protect Lucy and Layla Heartfilia's legacy.
Tradegy struck once again in the form of a Dark Guild member killing her mother when Alexis attempted to collect a reward. It was then that Serena started to learn about the political and financial climates in Fiore, though she did change the bank her trust fund was at to one not associated with the one her uncle used, promptly making it so only she and her accountant could gain access. At the same time in many other dimensions Lucy Heartfilia runs away from home so too does Serena only she was vastly different from her cousin.
Chapter 1
Hargeon Port:
Serena Heartfilia walks around in and orange halter tops and black cargo shorts with specially made black combat boots on. All of her things were held in Requip space and she had just gained the Canis Minor key, getting a much better discount than Lucy would have gotten. She snorts when she sees Bora the Prominence pretending to be Salamander of Fairy Tail. She walks on and chuckles when she spots the real Salamander, " You gonna let that idiot steal your identity, Salamander? "
Natsu Dragneel's onyx eyes meet her sapphire gaze, " That's what that rumor I heard was about, who is that idiot anyhow? "
" Bora the Prominence. "
" I'm Natsu Dragneel and this is Happy. "
" Serena Heartfilia, I'll be happy to help you kick his ass since he's also pretending he's a member of Fairy Tail. "
Natsu smirks, " Happy, keep an eye on the idiot, okay. "
The blue exceed salutes, " Aye, Natsu. "
Serena rolls her eyes, " My own gender is so damn pathetic, then again I am proficient in Dispel magic but still, illegal love charms. "
" Come on, let's go have some fun while we wait for the right time to strike. " Natsu says.
" Please try not to cause too much damage. " Serena says.
Natsu chuckles nervously, " Heard about Fairy Tail's tendency to overdo things, huh? "
" Of course, only makes me want to join up more but, I would rather not be chased out of town if at all avoidable. " Serena ripostes.
While waiting to take down Bora the pair take in the sights and get some food, Serena point blank making Natsu pay for his own food though she does use her Fire Make Magic in order to feed his magic as well. Natsu happily eats the miniature flame dragon she had made him, " Thanks for the grub, Serena. "
The blonde smirks, " Well, I don't want you having an excuse when we deal with the fraud. "
Natsu laughs outright at this, " You'll fit right in at Fairy Tail, Serena. "
When Happy returns to them and gives them a rundown of what Bora was up to Serena calls out her keys and grabs Aquarius' key before racing to the water front, " Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius. "
" Well, what do you want, girlie, I haven't got all day. " Aquarius says.
" Bora the Prominence is on that boat and he is using love magic on the young women he is conning. "
Happy adds what he had over heard and Aquarius' ire rises, slamming the ship back into port, " Girlie, you run across anymore bastards like this you can call me anytime. " Aquarius says.
" Your turn, Natsu. " Serena says, replacing the key and sending them back into Requip space.
Natsu smirks and removes his cloak while Happy gives Serena a bird's eye view. While Natsu calls Bora out on impersonating a Fairy Tail wizard Bora uses the Prominence Typhoon against Natsu only for the wizard to eat it. Serena smirks at this and then Natsu unleashes his Fire Dragon Roar. Bora manages to escape and Serena is outright grinning as Natsu lays down the law, showing Bora exactly what a Fairy Tail Wizard was capable of. The battle ends with a Fire Dragon Iron Fist, Bora ricocheting so much that he ends up hitting a bell in a tower causing it to ring. Serena sighs and once Happy sets her down she starts to run, Natsu keeping pace with her, " You just don't do subtle, do you? "
Natsu winces, " I never mean to cause this much damage. "
Serena sighs but she was still smiling, " You are so getting me up to your level of hand to hand combat. "
" What do I get in return? "
" I'll teach you Dispel magic. "
Natsu smirks at this, " I'm in, hell, this could be fun, plus Dispel magic would be very useful. "
The trek to Fairy Tail took a week on foot and in that time both teens would curse the other's name when it came to training though Natsu had the basics of Dispel magic down and Serena's hand to hand prowess had shot up, she could last twenty minutes against Natsu instead of the ten she had been at. They also took small rewards jobs that added up since Serena would need a place to stay at and Natsu needed food money though at least Serena could feed him fire once a day. The female teen has no problem with his true personality which Happy only ever saw. Natsu was far more intelligent and dangerous than he ever let on, he also happened to be an S Class Prankster.
Of course, only the Prankster's Association knew this, finding out that Serena was also an S Class Prankster only made it so they had more to talk about, they planned out pranks on other guilds, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Fairy Tail of course. Only Pranksters even knew about the association as well. The dues were the amount of chaos a prank caused or a high ranked individual getting pranked.
Time Gates:
Sailor Pluto, with her long viridian hair up in a half bun, wearing her fuku, sighs as she goes over the last moment of her Queen one more time. When had she given up her immortality anyhow. Crystal Tokyo had crumbled after that, Small Lady being killed almost immediately, without the Queen the rest of the senshi had perished and Endymion, his death still horrified the Time Guardian. Crystal Tokyo wasn't supposed to fall, why had it? What she hadn't taken into account was the fact that her Queen had been a mere shell, more dead than alive ever since she had been forced to marry Endymion. Fate had been met and Destiny had jumped on the chance to have one of her Chosen Champions reincarnated again, only this time free of Fate's manipulations since Crystal Tokyo had been created and Small Lady born.
Hotel in Fiore:
Serena had sprung for a hotel room for them, mostly because rain was forecasted and none of them wanted to sleep in the rain. Natsu paid for their meals to be fair and they did get a room with two beds. They had done several small time jobs in the town they were at currently, some as simple as playing with a group of orphans. Serena had a separate account for her earnings and half of what she made would go into it as she could not afford to spend frivolously since her uncle was close to going belly up from what she had understood before she left. She wouldn't put it past him to marry her off for money or worse try and borrow from her.
Little did she know that her uncle would end up making her life difficult soon enough, for now as the two wizards settle in for the night Natsu entertains her with tales about her future guild mates. The antics they all got up to and some of his own jobs after Happy was asleep, Natsu had a good feeling about Serena, he knew she would be an excellent addition to Fairy Tail, and also a good friend and sparring partner.
