CHAPTER 1 - THE RIVER INCIDENT
June was the month of the monsoon and, that's when things became cloudy. It was simply the common times, when rain peltered upon our rejoiced city, and brought an end to the summer heat.
Well, I won't go into much detail on the common facts, but on an uncanny day, I went to the river banks with my comrade, Slab.
"The rain's nice and all, but I think it's dangerous to stick around." Indeed, I was the only one who was reminded of the fact that we stood much close to the river waters. Usually, it was none of my concern to ponder of such, but the trouble remained with the fact that the water level was rising. The river was known for its dangerous currents and one leap into it would usually drown the risk taker, despite the reasons for fun or adventure or other recreational activities.
"Why are you so freaked out?" Slab looked back, "The water has not even reached my feet."
"Well, yeah! You'll know soon when you fall off." I reminded Slab, that we were standing on the river edge.
"The water current's strong. But if someone does fall into it, I guess they should wash ashore anyhow." Slab said.
"And end up dead." I added sarcastically, "And who knows where one might find the corpse. It may be few kilometres underneath the bridge, or let's assume the worst, till the Indian Ocean near the Sundarbans.
"You refer to the route of the river, I ask?" Slab said.
"Indeed." I replied with concern.
Despite my advice, Slab was barely budged by any fear. I had no choice to stick around with him for the time being.
"Hmm… what's that?" Slab gazed at the flowing river.
I followed his route and found something.
"Whoa! Look at that?" I exclaimed. There were two people who were enjoying the river water. Wait, what am I saying? They're drowning!
"Lucy, Natsu! Hold on, I'm coming!" a woman shouted.
Both, Slab and I were startled to find two uncanny people by the shore. The woman had red hair, and the colour looked dull crimson under the greyish clouds. The other was a guy with black hair and uhh… no shirt.
"Hey, don't be crazy! You'll drown yourself!" the black-haired guy retorted, as he tried to stop the hasty woman.
"What's going on here?" Slab went forward to enquire.
Both the woman and the guy looked at him with surprise. I looked around and had quite figured out with the situation. Apparently, a piece of the shore soil was broken and eroded. The woman and the shirtless guy stood by the same with Slab. In short, the folks in the river slipped from the edge and ended up in a mess.
"Natsu, what should we do? Happy is having a hard time catching up." Lucy was in a panic, as both of them were in a pinch.
"The water current is too fast for the poor guy to keep up!" she added, as she looked at the sky. Apparently, a flying cat flew through the air after them, above the water.
"Natsu, Lucy, hold on!" The cat shouted.
"Happy, glug…" Natsu was struggling with the strong water.
"I have no choice but to summon Aquarius!" Lucy had made a decision, to which Natsu was startled.
"No, don't do it!" The latter replied.
"Open! Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!" Lucy shouted, as she doused a golden key into the water.
Incidentally, a mermaid had popped out from the water.
"Aquarius, help us!" Lucy pleaded.
The water spirit, Aquarius had returned a mean look, in contrary.
"Look! There is a boat ahead." I was surprised to find a usual boat in the middle of the river, "Judging by their course, the two of your friends have a possibility of getting hold of it." I told the red-haired woman.
"We can risk that." said the black-haired guy, "I must freeze the water."
"What?" I exclaimed sceptically.
"Hey, look over there." Slab caught sight of something else, "There is a flying cat, and it's blue?" He asked himself in confusion.
"Yeah, that's Happy, trying to help." replied the red-haired woman.
"What?" I asked again, confused.
"Freeze Up!" The guy had put his palms in the water and froze up the water in front of him.
"Whoa!" Slab shouted.
Just as my comrade, I was surprised to find the unnatural. The river froze up before our eyes.
Apparently, another shock shook up the terrain.
"What's that? Lucy has summoned Aquarius?" the black-haired guy seemed to freak out.
The river threw up into the air. Waves and tides began to roll around. In the meantime, Natsu and Lucy had managed to get hold of the nearby boat, and that too, purely by chance.
"Don't aim at us, Aquarius!" Lucy shouted and she and the entirety of the boat had found themselves before a tidal wave. Natsu seemed to be having a hard time with motion sickness.
Despite the black-haired guy's ice froze the water, it wasn't able to reach the boat or the tidal wave in time.
"Look at that! The wave's pushing everything away!" Slab exclaimed, whilst enjoying the circumstances. Crazy guy, indeed.
"Looks like this was bound to happen." the black-haired guy replied in addition to his previous statement of exclamation.
The boat was thrown ashore by one of the waves.
"Whoa! Run!" I exclaimed, and the others seemed to agree me. The river water came gushing in.
In the end, we were all soaked wet, ready for a cold.
"Haha! That was awesome!" Slab chuckled with excitement.
"Glad that we were not pulled back into the river." I heaved upon our luck.
The crew of the boat had survived the uncanny ride.
"Why do wash me up always?" Lucy whined upon the circumstances.
"I should be leaving then. You should be glad that you're alive." Aquarius replied coldly.
"Oh, man…" Natsu was yet suffering from his motion sickness.
The rain began to pour down in torrents.
"I guess it's time for us to get ourselves above ground. Don't you agree?" Slab asked me.
"That was my whole opinion, man. I can't believe that you had waited this long." I replied annoyed. The water level was bound to rise with the sudden surge of rain and it was unsafe to stay by the shore.
All the people from the boat went above, as we followed suit. Amongst the survivors, we had found the drowning folks. Apparently, both of them had weird hair colours, unfound in common life.
"Are you alright, Lucy, Natsu?" At the same time, the unnatural flying cat had reached the high grounds. Lucy seemed to be the girl with the blonde hair, while Natsu seemed the other one. That guy had pink hair! Was that natural or dyed? I asked myself. The same question went for the woman with the red-hair.
"What the going on?" one of the crewmen bellowed. They were really confused.
"Look over there!" shouted another crewman.
"Whoa!" Slab exclaimed, with all the others.
"I'm really sorry." The girl in the blond replied in bow.
Indeed, it was a shocking revelation to see that the other boats, which were within the sight of the river, were forced all the way to the other shore. Apparently, there was a river island in the middle, and some of them had made short landings on its turf. The landings seemed not smooth.
"… there were some crazy folks! They seemed to be drowning…"
"We had salvaged them, but the worst came the next moment. A weird looking woman with blue hair had popped out from the water, and raised a tidal wave…"
"They were all insane…"
The annoying News had piled with reporters by the river bank. The crewmen gave report over their miserable ride.
"Where are they, now?" asked one of the reporters.
"They fled in the blink of an eye…"
"It's good that we are alive… Leave them be! They are dangerous…"
We had made our best efforts to evade trouble. The crewmen had found us within the uncanny folks, and we knew that Slab and I, would be accused to be involved with the whole incident. As a result, Slab and I had urged the uncanny folks to follow us through the streets. We knew that the reporters would show and before they could do it, we hid ourselves for the time-being.
Both of us sides came to know of each other, and we were the ones to be surprised.
"Wizards? Is that true?" Slab said amazed.
The red-haired woman was named Erza Scarlet, whilst the black-haired ice-guy, Gray Fullbuster. Surprising, and, yet the flying cat was called Happy.
"A talking cat? That's a first." I said.
"Aye!" Happy replied with jolly.
"Haha… the day's turning really crazy!" Slab was amused with his usual craziness.
"So, what should we do?" Gray asked, "We all came here by pure accident."
"Eclipse Gate, the fault of all." Erza said, "Long story short, we were transported her by the portal named, Eclipse Gate."
It made no sense to us in the first time.
"I guess we should be moving forward." I said, "We are yet in the city streets and the public might know of us, and the incident."
"We appreciate your help." Erza said gratefully, "Do lead the way."
But, before we could make a movement away for the streets, we had another visitor.
"Hmm… I have landed somewhere unknown." There was an uncanny guy behind us, who cannot be weirder.
"Who are you?" Erza demanded, as she drew her sword. I had not mentioned before, but Erza seemed the only swordsman in the locality. Wait no, I guess maybe the whole city.
"Huh, me?" the weird guy asked. He had white hair and covered one of his eyes with his wearing headband. Incidentally, he had ignored Erza's enquiry. Instead, he blurted, "The 'Kamui' has led me to trouble, it seems."
