I mentioned this fact on Day 694, but nobody's watched that vlog day for some reason… so, here's the thing. Doing a Fairy Tail story… and it's going on right now. *snaps fingers and 'Snow Fairy' begins to play in the background*

So… little introduction to how I got into the franchise. The first thing I ever remember hearing about this franchise was Happy. I remember a certain friend of mine, you know who if you've seen the vlog, get a gift figure of him. I then got said friend a keychain of Happy as a souvenir from San Japan… and it's pretty obvious who I'm talking about now, ain't it? Still not gonna say if you don't actually know. Then, in Anime Club, the first anime we watched (excluding RWBY, still don't know if that IS an anime) was Fairy Tail. I then saw the school library had the manga and… here we are. I've read up to volume 45 of the manga and just recently checked out 46-48.

My first Fairy Tail story is certainly going to be special… though, I'll admit, I felt a little unsure of my ability to make this story. So, I got somebody to act as a consultative advisor, the friend I mentioned who helped me get into the series. She'll be reading the chapter before it goes up for quality assurance, assuring ideas work, and a slight proof-read for typos and the like. So this story took a bit to get up.

For placement in the continuity, this story is set before the S Rank Test and the seven year time jump. Just so you know.

Well, let's get this story started.

Fairy Tail belongs to Shonen Jump, Hiro Mashima, etc. Any OC belongs to their respective owners.


It was a quiet evening in the forest just outside of Magnolia and the only creatures that were stirring by that point where some forest bugs and people who were doing some late-night travel. Soon, as the bugs continued their chirping and such, some people began to walk through the evening. The shadows from the trees kept what they looked like mostly obscured, with the only discernible elements of them being that there were four people, with one cat, walking and that there were two boys and two girls.

"Almost there, right?" one of the boys asked.

"Quiet…" one of the girls responded.

"Why?"

"Because it's late and we're trying to be sneaky, remember?" she reminded with a roll of her eyes as she studied a map she was carrying, but the details on it didn't match up with the environment around them.

"The map doesn't match… I think we're lost…" she then informed, making her friends sigh in annoyance, "Look, we're not lost for long. I think I heard some other people talking, I'll go ask for directions."

"We're trying to be sneaky, remember?" the boy responded.

"Look, it won't matter if we talk to one person for some directions, will it?" she responded with a cheeky grin, her friends being silent in response as she headed over to where she heard some people speaking.

The group remained where they were as they waited for the girl with the map to return, but a scream from her quickly got the remaining members of the team heading towards where she was. They saw that the girl had been grabbed by two large men and they were carrying her off.

"Shoot…" one of the boys sighed.

"Hey… get to the air and search, k?" the other girl requested of the cat.

"Aye," the cat responded as he spread wings and took into the air to see the men heading southeast, "Head southeast, buddy,"

She smirked and charged forward.


"Lemme go, you jerks!" the girl growled a bit as the two thugs continued to drag her away.

"How much you think we could get for selling her?" one of the thugs asked his compatriot.

The other one shrugged as they continued forward, but the other girl had arrived and simply growled a bit.

"Give ya to the count of three to let her go…" she told the two thugs.

"What?" the two thugs blinked as the girl began to count, but when she had reached one, the two thugs simply continued to stare in confusion, "Oh… enough of this. Bud, get her."

"All over it," he smirked as he charged forward, but…

"Karyu no Yokugeki!" the girl declared as she kicked the man with a powerful fire kick.

The two men stared for a moment, managing to see the girl's shadow, but they were both terrified.

"Masaka… omae wa… Salamander?!" one of them gulped.

The girl was silent as she punched one of them and helped get her friend back, "You ok?"

"All they did was drag me along the ground for a little while… I'm fine,"

The two thugs both prepared sorts of magic as the two boys had arrived by their female friends.

"You attack them?" one of them asked, earning a nod from the girl the thugs had called Salamander, "...of course…"

"You three keep going, I'll make sure they leave us alone."

"Not gonna happen Salamander. I don't care what sort of illusion magic you have going around yourself, we know it's you!" one of them roared as he fired a blast of fire magic that the girl simply ate up.

"Baka! The Salamander EATS fire!"

"Karyu no Tekken!" she yelled as she quickly punched the thug that had fired the magic at her, "Thanks for the meal, by the way…"

The other thug fired a magic blast, but the girl easily dodged it and struck with a kick. Both of the thugs growled a little as they saw the girl's friends about to keep going, but they had managed to get in their way.

"You aren't going anywhere!"

One of the boys took a sword out and aimed it at the thug which scared him a bit.

"You should be letting us go… our friend gets rather upset if we get messed with," he warned, but he got punched upside the head.

The girl growled a bit louder as her friends managed to get a safe distance away, "You know… you're starting to annoy me…"

She then smacked her fists together and charged up with fire energy surrounding her body, "Ikuzo… Karyu no Hoko!"

She blew out a stream of fire and surrounded the two thugs, sending them flying away. She smirked a bit before she was joined by her flying cat.

"Uh… you do realize we're in a forest, right?" the cat asked.

She blinked a bit as she looked forward and saw she had accidentally started a forest fire.

"...I'm… realizing that now…"


Morning had soon rolled around, the fire having been doused by a mysterious rainstorm, and it was the talk of the town. Notably in the Fairy Tail guild…

"It wasn't me!" Natsu quickly yelled as Erza rolled her eyes in response to this.

"It was."

"It wasn't!"

"I… may regret asking this…" Lucy sighed as she turned to face the two, "But what's going on?"

"There was a forest fire just outside of Magnolia that Natsu was the cause of," Erza explained.

"I was not!" Natsu responded angrily, "Why do you all think it was me?!"

Erza let out an annoyed groan, a slight eye roll accompanying it, before she began to explain, "There were two thugs who encountered somebody in a sort of illusion magic disguise, who ate fire and blew fire like a dragon. That's you,"

"She has a point there," Happy responded.

"I keep telling you all it wasn't me!" Natsu yelled, "But clearly nobody believes me!"

"Cause it clearly was you…" Gray chimed in.

Natsu growled a bit as he headed for the door, "Happy, we're going!"

"Aye." he responded as he flew after him.

"Matte," Lucy called out as she followed after him.


"Natsu, matte!"

Natsu and Happy stopped walking as Lucy had caught up with them, a bit short of breath, "Yea?"

"Where are you going?"

"Gonna find who copied my moves and really caused the fire," Natsu explained, "They can't be to far from Magnolia."

Lucy simply sighed a bit as she looked at the two, "Well… I'm gonna help you."

Natsu was slightly surprised by this before he simply gave a cheeky smiled, "Arigato."

"As are we," Gray's voice informed as he, Juvia, Wendy and Carla arrived by the three.

"...why? You were agreeing that it was my fault…"

Gray didn't respond as he walked forward, Juvia tailing after him, while Wendy simply stood there.

"...you support your friends when they need you, right?" Wendy responded.

The male pinkette simply stared at Wendy for a moment before giving off a small laugh and patting her head. The group soon began to move forward, Erza soon joining up with them, as they searched for most of the day.

Evening soon rolled around, accompanied by some clouds, as the group of eight was continuing to search for any clues.

"Man… this was a bit harder than I was expecting it to be…" Natsu commented as he continued to look for any signs that would indicate anything.

"If it really was Natsu-" Wendy began.

"Which I'm started to believe is the case… again…" Gray quickly added.

"...what do you think might have caused him to do this?"

Everybody, bar Natsu himself quickly stopped and actually began to think of that.

"...that's actually a good question…" Erza admitted before she sighed and turned to Natsu, "...gomen, Natsu. It's just all of the evidence seemed to point to you doing it,"

"Eh, it's fine," Natsu responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

Before anybody else could say or do anything, a raindrop fell on Natsu's head. They all looked and saw that it was starting to rain. Everybody in the group, bar Juvia, groaned at this as they quickly began to look for somewhere to hide from the rain.

"Look, a cave," Wendy pointed out, having seen a large cave that was nested near the southern edge of the forest. The group quickly headed into it, but Erza stopped just outside the entrance, which Wendy noticed, "Something up?"

"Is that… the Fairy Tail symbol?" she asked, pointing to the top of the cave's entrance.

Wendy peeked out and saw what looked like the symbol of their guild, yet it was rather crudely drawn and looked fairly newly added.

"Get in here you two!" Carla called out, "You're both gonna get sick if you stay out there to long!"

Wendy and Erza both headed in and began to dry off as best they could.


Hours had passed and the rain had not let up an inch, so the eight had decided to settle in the cave for the evening. Natsu, Gray, Juvia, and the two cats had all fallen asleep by that point, while Lucy, Erza and Wendy were still awake.

"What do you think might've caused that fire?" Lucy asked.

"Why ask?" Erza responded.

"It might be good to throw around some theories, so we can see who we could trace it to."

Before anybody could say anything else, a sound was heard and got their attention. Erza gave both Wendy and Lucy a 'shh' motion and they slowly began to walk over to the source of the sound. They could faintly see another fire going and a few shadows nearby it. Erza and Lucy kept hands close to their weapons as they slowly approached.

"...we're not alone in here…" a young male's voice responded, a hand on his own sword, "Who's there? Show yourself!"

"I could say the same thing to you," Erza responded, as she dashed over, only to skid to a total stop upon seeing who was there. There were four children and one Exceed alongside them.

The first one, who was the one holding the sword, had silver armor similar to what Erza had worn in her youth, alongside what looked to be some white clothes peeking out of the armor, had blue hair that was rather shortly cut, yet reached his neck in terms of length, and his eyes were nearly white in color.

The other male of the four was close to the fire and notably had white hair, gray eyes, wore a blue vest, green shorts, black shoes, and seemed to have a wristband of some sort that had a snowflake design on it.

The first girl in the group had yellow-orange hair that was left flowing down a bit past her neck, had blue eyes with red-rimmed glasses, a white top with teal highlights, a teal skirt, long black shoes and was carrying what appeared to be a gray and white colored tome.

The other girl had pink hair that was kept at around her neck's length, teal eyes, wore a red vest, black undershirt, white shorts, black shoes and had a white scarf tied around her waist. Nearby her was a purple Exceed with a white belly, and a teal bag of sorts.

"They're all kids…" Erza muttered as Wendy walked on over. Erza turned to Wendy and then noticed that all four kids were about the same height as Wendy was, "Wow…"

"So… what are you all doing here?" Lucy asked as she slowly approached.

"Taking shelter from the rain, same as you I guess," the pinkette responded.

"What are your names?" Erza inquired, but the four were silent, "...I asked you a question…"

"Let me try," Wendy smiled as she politely walked over, "It's nice to meet you guys. Atashi wa, Wendy Marvell. These are my friends, Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfilia. So, who are you guys?"

"Sakura," the pinkette smiled as she picked up her Exceed, "And this is my partner and buddy, Joy."

"Aye," Joy smiled.

The yellow-orange haired girl removed her glasses and smiled at Lucy, "...my name's Luka. Nice to meet you, Lucy,"

"...Yuza," the white haired boy stated.

"And I'm Azure," the bluenette responded.

"Nice to meet you all," Wendy smiled, "So… what are you all doing out here so late at night?"

"...we have our reasons," Luka responded, "We can't say them, but we have our reasons."

"Alright," Wendy nodded.

Erza then motioned for Lucy to follow her, then motioning for Wendy to stay put, both girls nodding at the non-verbal instructions that they were given, "What do you think we should do with them?"

"I guess we can take them back to the base?" Lucy suggested.

Erza let out a small sigh as they turned to the four kids as they spoke with Wendy.


This took a lot longer to finish than I expected to finish, but that's due to partial laziness, other projects to work on, among other things. I do want this story series to be good, since it's my first ever Fairy Tail story.

If I had a favorite part… it was the battle near the beginning. Butts were kicked and the capability was shown, but of who? ...you'll see soon enough.

Just Live More.
