Authors Note; This is my first fanfiction, so I am a little nervous . I have wrote other stories but they weren't like this. Yes, I know this is pretty short but it sort of an introduction to their mission. Hopefully the next will be longer. Sorry. This also isn't well edited but it was midnight when I wrote this.
"Excited to see Erza." Meredy teased playfully to her only guild mate.
"C-cut it out!" Jellal snapped back, embarressed. The small guild rode in a Magic Vehicle, running on Meredy's magic energy, to the guild hall. They were nearly there, but to Jellal, it wasn't close enough. Wishful thinking led him to believe Meredy's jokes would end there, but boy was he wrong.
The car stopped and they looked at one another before hopping down. The two walked into the guild hall. The guild hall was quite a scene for the two. As soon as they entered they were greeted by a herd of drunken mages.
"They're here, Makarov!" cheered one of the unfamiliar faces. Soon joined by some alcohol induced cheers.
Jellal and Meredy both gave uneasy looks to one another. "Are we really staying here...?" Jellal asked himself but was cheered up when Team Natsu came to greet them, of course including his favorite of fairies, Erza.
"Hello, you two." the scarlet knight greeted calmly. "We appreciate you coming here to help us out. How was your journey?" she asked, Erza's arms crossed over her steel chest.
Jellal opened his mouth but was cut off by his excited partner. "It is no problem! We are glad to be here! Our ride went along just fine, thank you for being so hospitable." Meredy pipped politely. She gave her childish, cheery smile, head cocked.
Jellal could feel gawky tension in the air between himself and Erza. Things always seemed unfinished between them, no matter what hesaid. "I am such a screw up." Jellal thought, mentally hitting himself.
The guild made room for Makarov to come forward. "Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Meredy, and Jellal, come with me." the old man said, turning around to head to a large table where Fairy Tail's strongest team and the guests could talk. "We have members seriously injured right now. I am not going to stand back and watch as my brats get hurt." Master said and paused. "We have to figure out how we are going to handle this."
Jellal leaned into the table, looking down at a map of the attack locations. "We should split into teams. Divide the current group in half, maybe include some other strong mages." he suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Makarov said. "Erza, Jellal, Wendy, and Gray in team one. Natsu, Lucy, and Meredy in team two". Makarov looked up. "Any objections?" he questioned.
"No sir." the large group said at once with respect to their master.
The groups gathered into sections at the table and they all looked to Makarov for guidance.
"Listen up, brats." Makarov said, stalking up on his chair to point to sections of the map "Team two, patrol around the town and guard the hall when you can. Team one, please check in with those who have gone on jobs."
Both groups nodded and began to talk amongst themselves.
Erza began to direct her group in what to do. "We are going to check in with Team Shadow Gear first. I think the Strauss family can wait, considering they have Mira." Erza said.
Jellal nodded. "When do we leave?" the independent mage questioned.
"Tonight." the scarlet mage replied, a look of ambition upon her face. She was ready to protect her guild mates and with Jellal and Team Natsu by her side, she was going to.
