Hey guys welcome to my sorta re-telling of fairy tail I know I'm probably not the first to do this and probably not the last, but this story idea has been in my head for a while and so here we are, words can't describe how nervous I am about posting this
anyway as the summary tells you this an AU where the fairy tail guild doesn't exist yet so people will talk differently to our heroes and most characters may end up taking a bit more of a back seat
Let's get to the story
in the small port town of hargeon a area where ships come and go and people bustle through to get to there destination today a pink haired boy named Natsu dragneel and his small blue talking cat named Happy are trying to get off the train
"We made to Hargeon." Happy yelled excitedly "come on get up already" he looked back to see Natsu fallen over the ground
"Um is he alright" one of the conductors asked
"oh yeah he's fine" Happy Told him "this always happens when he travels"
"Never again" he spoke up "I'm never riding on this stupid train again"
"If our intel is correct we should find that salamander in this town" the blue cat said while walking towards the door "let's go"
"just give me a minute" he said while hanging out of the window
The cat hops off the train just as soon as the workers on the train throw more coal into the engine and start the train
The trains begin to move with Natsu still inside happy turns as his friend is hauled off screaming for his life
"uh oh there he goes"
The journey begins
"What!" a girl screamed "you mean to tell me there only one magic shop in this whole town" this Girls name is Lucy and she is currently in the same town as Natsu and Happy
"Afraid so" the store clerk answered "the people here are more fishing folk than they are magic folk," he told the girl
"Man looks like I came all this way for nothing" the girl said in a depressed tone
"aww know don't be like that" the man then pulled out a small box "this color switch has been really popular lately" he then moves his hand around the small ord
"Purple" he shouts and is olive green clothes then turn purple
"I already have one of those what I really wanted was some powerful gate keys," she tells the man
"Gate keys huh that's a rare request" the man then pulls out a box and opens it revealing a silver key inside
"aw it's the little doggie" Lucy squealed in delight
"You know it's not really powerful" the man tells her
"yeah but I really want it" she replies "how much"
"Twenty thousand jewel"
Lucy completely froze and peered in closer to the man" how much was that"
"I said twenty thousand jewel" he said in a quick voice
"Oh come on," Lucy said while sliding on the desk pulling up her skirt a bit "how much is it really worth," she said while winking
the man freezes a light blush forming on his cheeks
Lucy is then seen walking angrily away from the shop "I can't believe that old coot only knocked off a thousand jewel" she said while grunting "that trick normally works so much for using my feminine wiles"
some girls run by her excitedly saying that a famous wizard is in town "is it really I don't believe it one of them shouts
"Wait who is that" she inquiries one of the girls stops and looks back at her "he's this mysterious wizard that can use fire magic you can't even use in stores" she squeals with glee before running off again
"Really" Lucy says "well damn never thought a famous wizard would be a deadbeat town like this" she said as the girls ran to meet the wizard
Natsu and Happy are seen again walking through the town of hargeon "damn I ended riding the stupid train twice"
"You should really get over that motion sickness" the cat told him "it could be the death of you one day"
Ignoring his friends comment Natsu looked ahead "hey this Salamander guy has to be Igneel right" he asked in concern
"Well I mean the only fire dragon that I've heard off is Igneel" Happy said reassuring his friend
As they were walking they heard a bunch of Girls screaming Salamander they two looked at each other with excitement "well speak of the the devil were in luck today"
"Aye"
They run over to see a large group of girls swooning over something in the middle is a guy with dark purple hair posing as the girls begin to go even more crazy
Lucy is seen in the middle of the crowd with pink cheeks her begins to skip a beat as she looks and the man in the dark cloak 'why is my heart pumping so fast" she thinks in her head 'is it because he's famous wizard'
Then her eyes are covered with hearts like many of the girls around the Wizard 'am I in love'\\
"hey Igneel" could be head from the distance but she chose to ignore it
Just as she started to move closer two figures jump in front ofLucy looks at them for a second which causes the hearts to break she then took a look around and noticed that he was using a charm spell
Natsu looked looks at the purple haired man in confusion "um who are you" he asks shocking the man
"Maybe you recognize my name Salamander" he shouts doing another pose only to see the boy walking away from him
The fangirls then attack him grabbing and biting him "you should be nice and apologize to him right now" they all shout
"know that enough" Salamander tells them and they back off like animals he then pulls out a paper and scribbles on it "here you go kid you can rub this in all of your friends faces" he said with a smile
"Yeah no thanks" Natsu tells him which results in the fan-girls tossing him into a wall
"well that was fun but I got to get going" Salamander said "I've got business to attend"
"You're leaving already" the girls said in perfect unison
"Time for the red carpet" he flicked his fingers causing flames then came up at the bottom of his feet and lifted him up "I'm throwing a party on my yacht tonight and you're all invited" he shouted as he flew off
"who the hell was that guy" Natsu inquired
"I don't know but he sure as a creep" a voice calls out
Natsu turns to see a girl walk walking up to him "hey thanks for the help"
Later the two can be seen at a restaurant Natsu is eating faster than what could be possible y be human
"Um" Lucy said as she stared in shock "there's no need to rush it's not going anywhere"she said nervously as food flew past her 'there goes the money I saved at that old geezer's shop' she looked up to the pink haired boy smiling but this was her way of saying thanks 'wait he has pink hair'
"evidently that Salamander was using magic" Lucy told the boy "a charm spell but they've been banned for years" she said wondering "I know i might not look like it but I'm also a wizard"
"Is that so" he asked as he took a long drink of water
"Yeah, but I've been thinking of forming a wizards team" Lucy told the pink haired boy "Oh I should explain you see a team form when a group of Wizards comes together to tackle jobs that no one wizard can handle alone" she tells the boy who just has a bare look on his face
"You see there called Guild and often times they have cool names too" she tells him "I know this all sounds like gibberish to you but let me tell ya being a wizard is so much fun"
Natsu chuckled at her statement 'you have no idea' he said in his head
"I mean being solo has it's quirks but being in a guild allows for all sorts of crazy adventures" she told him while squealing
"You talk a lot," Happy told her half-heartedly
"oh yeah you came here looking for someone," the girl asked coming out of her fangirl state
"We're looking for Igneel" Happy shouted
"We heard that a Salamander would be coming through town but looks like it was the wrong guy"Natu finished as he stuffed a whole pizza in his mouth "I bet that poser can't breath fire like a real dragon"
"wait so your friend Igneel looks like a dragon" Lucy asked confused
Natsu swallowed the pizza "No he doesn't look like a dragon he is one"
"Huh" Lucy shouted in disbelief
Even in this magical world dragons are considered mythical creatures and are rarely seen by the human eye
"What would a dragon be doing in the center of town" she shouted at the two "It doesn't make any sense" Lucy then stood up and placed some cash on the table "well I've got to get going"
"Yea me too" Natsu said standing up
"Oh I'm sorry I never got your name," Natsu asked as she walked out of the store
She turned back and gave a light smile "My names Lucy h" she froze she wasn't going to tell him that bit of information "Lucy, they call me Lucy"
Natsu gave off a big grin "nice to meet ya Lucy I'm Natsu Dragneel"
"And I'm Happy" the cat shouted
Lucy smiled before walking away "Natsu dragneel, that name makes my heart all warm for some reason"
Lucy sat on a park bench reading an issue of sorcerer weekly magazine "so mysterious wizard guy strikes again" she looked over what appeared to be a picture but most of the mysterious man was covered in shadow his dark red eyes only visible
"they say he knows some type of lost magic," Lucy said to herself as she read the article "dragon slayer magic," Lucy said aloud, "I thought those guys were a myth"
"Man I wonder what he looks like" she flipped the page and read more on the story "a bandit clan had apparently been wiped out by him but no official sitting just the same symbol burning in the wreckage
Lucy looked at the image that was in the magazine "it sorta looks like a fairy but with a tail" Lucy pondered for a second "do fairies even have tales" Lucy asked herself out loud she pondered that for a while then turned to see guild opening sections
"man the number of guilds looking for members is huge," Lucy said with glee
"but i don't want to be a lower classmen though" Lucy said "or you know grunt" I wanna be one of the main enforcers "know that would be cool title like" Lucy thought for second " I know Lucy the ultimate celestial"
Lucy laid-back reading the magazine "I mean I could join blue pegasus or lamia scale" she said while laying on her back
"I wonder how to become a member through" Lucy wonders out loud
"I can help you that" a voice called out causing Lucy to jump out off the bench she was lying on
She turned to see the man known as Salamander striking a pose
"Oh it's just Salamander" Lucy said calming down "what do you want"
"I wanted to invite you to my party" he said making his trademark smirk
"That one won't work" Lucy shouts "a charm magic spell ineffective once you realise it's been used on you" Lucy shouts at him
Salamander smirked "I guessed you were a wizard the moment I laid eyes on you" he then looks at her again "doesn't matter the invitation still stands"
Lucy turns away from the man and crosses her arms "yeah I wouldn't be caught a party being thrown by a creep like you"
"A creep" Salamander said falling down "why would you call me that"
"Your spell using it to make yourself popular" Lucy said scolding the man
"I just wanted to feel like a celebrity at my own party can you blame me" he told Lucy
"this just proves even famous wizards can be big idiots" Lucy says while starting to walk away
"you know the guild I'm in is looking for a new recruit" he says catching Lucy's attention
"wait what kinda guild," Lucy asks the man studdering as she turns around to meet his gaze
"One of the best in country" Salamander tells her with a smile "Phantom Lord" he says with a smile
Hearts form in Lucy's eyes as she jumps up to Salamander "I would be happy to go to your party mister Salamander sir"
"That was easier than I thought" he said trying to push the girl back "know don't be late" he said as he activated his red carpet and flew off
"You got it mister Salamander," Lucy said in a happy voice as she watched him fly off then her eyes widen in revelation "Damn it I wassuto charmed," she says "but I'm going to join a guild. I just have to nice to that sleazeball until then"
the two friends Natsu and Happy stand on a balcony overlooking the town of hargeon under the night sky Natsu had back turned to the city as he leaned over the railing " that was quite a meal ey happy"
"Aye"
Happy looked over at the port and saw a ship "hey you think that's ship Salamander is having that party on" Happy asks
Natsu turns to see the ship and immediately turns away "I going to blow chunks"
"Oh come on it's not like we're going abroad it" Happy looked back at the ship before scratching his chin
"Hey wait a second didn't that mysterious lady you always talk to tell us something about Salamander" Happy asked Natsu
"Who Mavis well yea she was the one that gave us the tip" Natsu told the blue cat
Happy's eyes widen in shock "Natsu I know you're not going to like this but we have to go that party" Happy told him
"What why" Natsu asked
"Cause that's the fake Salamander is the one Mavis has been looking for," Happy told the boy
Natsu's eyes widen as he looks back at the ship "I'm going to hate this" he says as he lets out a sigh
Meanwhile on the ship Lucy is sitting in room with Salamander two drinks are placed on the table "Your name is Lucy right"
"Um yeah" she answered nervously
"I would like to toast your beauty" he waves his hand and tiny bubbles come from the drink "now open wide and savor the taste of each drop"
'come on Lucy do for for the guild do it for do it for the guild' before the Bubbles can reach Lucy mouth she slaps them away "what do think you're doing" she asks him coldly "You were trying to use sleep magic"
Salamander smiles "very impressive my dear"
"Look I don't want to give you the wrong idea" Lucy tells the man baking off "Yes I would love to join a top tier guild but I'm not going to date you to make that happen"
Salamander just laughs as the curtains around hem open revealing tons of men holding all the women from the party "Welcome to my ship" he tells her smirking "you'll be wise to behave yourself until we make it to Bosco" he then looks up at her making a evil face "don't make me angry"
Lucy turned around shocked "I thought... you said you'd get me into your guild" she shouts at him angrily
"Forget it I only told you that so we could make you one of our slaves" he says with a large smirk on his face
The men in the back all start laughing "that's our salamander" one of them says
"got a big haul this time" another shouts
"Why you" Lucy pulls out her gate keys but Salamander shoots some fire at her knocking them out off her hands
"So you're a celestial wizard" Salamander ponders "these keys will only work for the wizard they are contracted with" he then tosses them out of the window "they are no use to me"
Lucy eyes began to tear up as the men started to hold her down "you used magic to take advantage of others" she said tears going down her face "you're the worst person alive"
Just before any of them could say anything something falls through the roof of the boat the just circling around the whole area
once it clears it revels Natsu with a serious look in his eye
"Hey I know you" Lucy says with pure joy
But Natsu quickly gets sick turning away to barf "I knew this was a bad idea"
"You are so lame" Lucy shouts at him
"Hey Lucy what are you doing here" a voice calls out
Lucy looks up to see Happy flying in the large whole Natsu made "oh Happy this guy tricked into thinking I was going to join a guild, and wait since can you fly!" Lucy shouts
All of Salamanders men jumped in shock as the talking blue cat grabbed Lucy by her waist and flew off with her "wait what about Natsu"
"I can't carry two people" Happy replies
"After them we can't let them report this to the council" Salamander shouted they all ran outside "prominence whip" Salamander waved his hand and for strings of fire burst from his hand
Happy quickly avoided all of the them causing them to collide into a small firework "that cat is fast" Salander said
"Hey guys"
Salamander and his men turned to see Natsu struggling to stand up behind him
"What about Natsu and the other Girls" Lucy asks Happy as they fly away
"Lucy we have a problem" Happy tells her ignoring her question
"What problem" as If on cue Happy's wigs disappeared and he let go off Lucy
"My transformations up" they both fell into the water Happy hitting his head on the rock
Lucy then turned her head to see something 'my gat keys' Lucy said in her head she swam over and picked them up
Back on the ship Salamanders men are knocking Natsu around "Forget about them let's get going to Bosco"
"Bora the province" Natsu shouts as he stops one the men from hitting him
Lucy then appears above the water with a large grin on her face "alright Open the Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!" water then shoot revealing a mermaid
"Aquarius I need you to get that ship into the harbor for me" Lucy asked the spirit
"Tch" The spirit turned and faced the ship and dark glare growing on her face "oh and don't ever drop my key again or I will kill you" Aquarius then raised her jar above her head and causes a giant wave to consume the boat
The boat is then thrown back into the harbor causing it to rain for a while
Lucy sit's up and glares at Aquarius "I told you to get the ship not me"
"Oh sorry for getting you out of the water miss grumpy" Aquarius shot back "oh and I'm taking of for a while I'm going on a vacation with my boyfriend" she tells Lucy smirking "and he's hot" she then vanishes leaving an angry Lucy behind
"I know" Happy says popping out of the sand "if the fish lady gives you any more trouble just let me deal with her
Lucy sighs "I'm not sure how much more of this stupid cat I can take"
Lucy calms down and turns to the ship and heads toward it
Salamander climbs out of the wreckage and look in disgust all of his captives run away he turns to see Natsu standing on top of the boat
"So you're the guy behind all the mysterious disappearances" Natsu says as he takes off his red Jacket "looks like this is my lucky day"
Salamander smiles "take him" he shouts at two off his men "yes sir"
"watch out" Lucy screams
"Don't worry about him" Happy tells her while eating a fish "I probably should have told you this earlier but he's a wizard a too"
Lucy Face grows wide in shock at the revelation as the two men then jump at Natsu but he effortly slaps them both away revealing a red mark on his arm
"Hey boss that mark on his arm" one of the men state "I don't recognize that guild but this is bad news bora"
"Don't call me that you fool" Salamander or bora shouts at the henchmen
"Wait who's that" Lucy asks
"That's bora the prominence" Happy answers "him and his titan nose guild has been suspected for aiding in theft" Happy explained
Natsu then begins to walk down the boat "know listen we can do this the easy way" Natsu says before his face becomes serious "or I could beat you into a pulp"
Salamander know known to be Bora smirked at this statement
"and like you can stop me Prominence typhoon" a spiraling column of fire is sent flying towards Natsu who doesn't even move
"Natsu" Lucy shots as she attempts to go and help him but she is stopped by Happy who has his wings back
Bora laughs "well I guess that's that" he then turns to walk away
"Aw man this so gross" a voice calls out Bora turns around and shocked expression grows on everyone's faces as Natsu stand eating all of Boreal fire
"Fire magic doesn't work on Natsu" Happy tells Lucy as she recovers from her shock
##(dragon slayer theme)##
Natsu then consumes the rest of the fire and gives off a huge smirk "now I got a fire in my belly that raging to get out" he then slammed his fist together and fire started to swirl around his body "Fire dragon" Natsu mouth began to puff up as he put his hands over his mouth "Roar"
A huge amount of fire burst from his mouth consuming all of Bora men. Bora had used his red carpet spell to lift himself over the fire
"where did this kid come from " the man said as Natsu rose from the wreckage a dark shadow covering his body only showing his red eyes
Lucy let out a gasp "he looks just like"
"know remember" Natsu then ignited fire around his hands "I gave you the chance to surrender"
"Red shower" Bora shots as little balls of fire are blasted at Natu who easily dodges them he jumps up hits Bora knocking him into a nearby building
"So he eats fire and then attacks with it" Lucy asked "but how does he do it is it some kind of spell"
"Well he has dragon lungs so he breathes fire, dragon scales to dissolve the fire, and dragon claws for attacking with fire" Happy explained as Natsu landed on the building across from Bora
"his brand of fire magic allows him to take on all of the qualities of a dragon" Happy told Lucy as bora continued to attack Natsu to no avail
"It's called dragon slayer magic Igneel was the one who taught it to him" Happy finished
Bora the unleashed another fire attack only for Natu to eat it again "now that was a hefty meal" he said as cleaned his face "but I'm about to cook you like a smoked fish"
"You're going to do what to me" Bora asked asked panicking
"Get ready Fire dragon's Iron fist" Nats hand then jumped into the air and hit bora with a soldering fist of fire sending him into a bell tower
Lucy stood there awestruck at Natsu's immense power "That...that was incredible but he went a little overboard" Lucy said looking over the wreckage
"Aye"
"Oh shut it cat" Lucy looked down to see that the cat was gone and so was Natsu she looked around and saw the same symbol she saw on sorcer weekly "could he be the Salamander"
As Lucy started to walk back up the steps she noticed a small letter lying on the ground she picked it up seeing t was left for her "did he leave this for me"
Lucy opened the letter "go to Magnolia your adventure shall begin there"
"Magnolia," she said as she looked in the distance "don't they call it the city filled with magic" Lucy looked down as the symbol behind her burned "mabey I'll find out more about that salamander after all"
