AN: This story has been playing in my head for years, and finally I'm typing away. I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does along with the descriptions of characters, most are from people online that I took and personality wise made my own, or slightly made my own version, but I'm giving credits to the authors. I do own my own characters though, most of this is what I think the families would look like, so please give this a chance. I'm a relatively new writer, I mostly read.

Please note that I may skip around like the anime, and my fighting scene's will probably suck, so in advanced, I'm sorry.

Chapter 1: The Guild in Magnolia

In a land far far away, lies the the kingdom of Fiore. A small peaceful nation of 17 million. And a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every market place. For most magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some however, magic is an art and they have devoted their lives to its madness. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, but there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is, Fairy Tail.

Hargeon Station…

"I wish we could have just walked on foot," A salmon haired man said, slightly green. He was lugging a sack with him and was talking to a white cat with a blue bent ear on his left shoulder.

"You say that every time Igneel, but we always take the train anyways," The cat replied, they both stepped off of the train.

"I admit it's faster, but I still hate it," Igneel grumbled pulling on his coat that exposed his left arm and how it was bandaged.

"I hate how you have to cover your guild mark as Hailstone wouldn't leave you alone and Storm got frustrated and hit you instead of her brother," Adeen said, talking about the bandage that she was almost touching with her feet.

He chuckled. "You should have seen Storm after, she wouldn't stop apologizing."

"So why are we even here Igneel?" Adeen asked, fearing that he might not ever tell her as he wouldn't tell her on the train or when they left the guild.

"I ordered a key for Layla here so she wouldn't know about it," He said, turning his head to smile at the exceed. "I wanted it to be a surprise and so no one would tell her early.

"Which key is it? She will be excited for any key though," Adeen thought out loud.

"Andromeda, the chained lady. I don't exactly what powers she posses, but I know Layla will love her anyways," Igneel explained.

"You are a great brother Igneel, I hope you know that," Adeen said, smiling softly at how sweet he could be.

He blushed and rubbed the back of his head as they finally found the only magic store in Hargeon.

"Zoey! Zoey! What about this?" A white exceed said, holding a black choker in her paws.

"It's perfect," Zoey said, taking the choker from the exceed. "How much does this cost?" She asked the store owner politely.

"For that exact choker, since it has magic bedded in it, would be 1,000 jewels," The store owner replied, smiling at the black haired girl and white cat.

"That's expensive," A black, boy, exceed said. "What kind of magic is in it?"

"A spell that blocks attacks from enemies, though it can only be indirect contact,"

Zoey takes out a pouch from her back pocket, hands over the 1,000 jewels to the store clerk working the counter, not saying anything about the price.

"Miss, is there a magic shop anywhere in town?" The black exceed asked.

"Why yes, there is one about three stores over," The owner said, smiling at the cat, she loved cats or exceeds, same thing.

"Thank you," Zoey said, slightly bowing at the owner, who was kinda shocked at that. "Come on Amaris, Bucky, lets go to that magic shop."

"Yay!" Amaris and Bucky exclaimed jumping onto Zoey's arms to go to the magic shop.

They found it after a bit as the store owner never told them what side of the shop was. They entered it, Bucky instantly going over to the weapons, while Zoey and Amaris looked around. Amaris climbed her arm to get a better view of everything.

"Welcome Misses, are you looking for anything in particular?" The old man behind the counter said.

"No sir, well, my other exceed is looking for a sword but we are just looking," Zoey said, politely smiling at him.

"Well just ask me for anything if you need me," He said warmly to the two girls.

"Okay we will,"

Just then the door opened, the bell above it signaling it. It normal wouldn't have caught Zoey's attention, but the smell coming off the man walking in did.

The man had pink hair, a red coat that ended at his knees, missing it's left sleeve with black pants and a black shirt underneath with black boots. He had bandages on his left upper arm and a exceed perched just like Amaris was.

"Ahh, Igneel. Come to get the shipment you ordered?" The old man asked this younger man, Igneel.

"Of course, Bov, it's for my sister," Igneel said, smiling at the man. What was interesting to her was that he had fangs, like a Dragon Slayer would. Was this man a Dragon Slayer? Or something completely different? He did smell like fire...

"Which one?" The man chuckled. "You have three, your big sister, your little sister, or baby sister?"

Igneel chuckled. "Little," He answered.

"Ahh, yes. Layla. I think this key would go real nice in her collection."

Bov bend down to grab something from underneath the counter. He pulled out a wooden box no bigger than a jewelry box. He opened the box for Igneel and the exeed to look at.

"That's the Andromeda key all right," Igneel said, taking the box to look at it closer. "How much?"

"20,000 jewel," Bov replied smiling.

Zoey and Amaris' mouths dropped.

"You just have to go high? Oh alright, it's for my little sis after all," He reached back into his pocket and grabbed the amount of jewel needed.

"Well if you ever need anything shipped, please come to me," Bov waved the mage off, while Zoey and Amaris, and Bucky watched.

Bucky came up to Zoey and yanked at her pants. She looked down at him. "I couldn't find any I like, we can go," Zoey nodded and grabbed him up in her arms.

"I want to ask that man something, come on," She quickly walked out of the shop barely registering Bov's come again.

She looked down both sides of the street for the pink haired man, and spotted him walking down the right side of the shop.

She quickly walked over to him, he was engrossed with talking to the white exceed with the blue bent ear.

"Why'd you spend 20,000 jewel on a key?" She asked, or more yelled trying to gain his attention, which she did.

"Huh?" He asked turning around to find the girls voice who spoke.

"You're names Igneel right? I saw you talking to that man, Bov, was his name?" She said and his eyes flickered to her, as she was slightly to his right.

He slowed down his pace and turned to face the girl. She had long black hair which covered her left eye, her right being blue. She wore a red shirt with a diamond design connected with lines and showed her shoulders but still had long flowy sleeves. She had black pants on and black boots along with a black, necklace or was it a cocker... on her neck. In her arms was a black exceed with red pants and black shirt. On her right shoulder was another exceed, this one white and a female, who wore blue pants and a short purple top, she also had a purple ribbon on her tail.

"Yeah I'm Igneel, who're you?" He asked, this women smelled like a Dragon Slayer but he couldn't tell what slayer she was.

"I'm Zoey, Zoey Grace," She shifted the black exceed in her arms to extend her arm to him. What caught his attention was that on her right side there were dozens on dozens of black keys on a key ring connected to a belt loop.

"Igneel Dragneel," He introduced himself. "This is Adeen," He pointed at his exceed.

"Nice to meet you," Adeen said waving at the women and other exceeds.

"I'm Amaris and this is Bucky," The white exceed greeted, pointing at the black exceed when she said his name.

"Now that we have been introduced, can I ask what you meant by spending 20,000 jewel on a key?" He asked, cocking his head to the side.

"What's so special about it? The key I mean,"

"It's a Celestial Gate key, that's what's special about it," Her answered, looking at her keys questionably. He's never seen black gate keys before so they couldn't be Celestial.

"Oh, that makes more sense, sorry for asking. You must think I'm stupid," She said, smaking her head with her hand.

"No I don't-" He was cut off from a man exclaiming; "Didn't you hear?! The Dragon Queen is in town!" The man said to his friend.

"The Dragon Queen herself here? That can't be true! This is a dream come true!" Both men ran off down the street trying to find the so-called 'Dragon Queen'.

"Dragon Queen?" Zoey mused out loud looking at the ground.

"Igneel that can't be true, isn't she-" Adeen stated, which caused Zoey to look up when Igneel cut her off.

"Yeah, She's in Stella for a job, not here," Igneel stated.

"Do you know of this Dragon Queen those men were speaking of?" Zoey asked this man that she just met.

"Yeah, she's my older sister Nashi," He said, looking at her, in her eyes.

Zoey's jaw dropped, when she set off to find this Dragon Queen, she never knew that she would find her little brother first.

Igneel saw her expression and chose to ignore it until, Bucky started talking.

"Isn't that the women we've been sear-" He was cut off by Zoey's hand on his mouth. She whispered in his ear to be quiet.

"Why've you been searching for my sister?" Igneel said darkly.

Zoey sighed, then glared at Bucky. "See what you did, now I have to explain." She sighed again. "Actually can it what until we sort out the Nashi imposter?" She asked him.

"And why should I trust you?" He asked glaring at her.

"She would have never come after you unless you caught her interest," Amaris said glaring back at the man.

"Caught her-your interest?" He asked, now really confused.

"Yes," Zoey rolled her eyes along with her exceeds. "You caught my interest by being a Dragon Slayer, and a fire one at that. I smelt you once you walked into the magic shop."

Igneel's jaw dropped, everyone knew his father was a Dragon Slayer, but not him. If she smelt him that confirmed his theory that she was a Slayer, but he couldn't be fore sure as he hadn't yet seen her in action.

"Though I can't figure out how you learned, as I know you weren't alive over 400 years ago," She said tapping her chin with her pointer finger.

"My dad was taught by Igneel the Fire Dragon King, who I'm named after, he taught me," Igneel said. "I'm also going to guess that you are from over 400 years in the past and are a Dragon Slayer in some way."

"Yes, now are we going to deal with this imposter or what?" She replied, not really thinking about what she just said. Igneel noticed and chose to ignore it, for now.

"Fine lets go,"

It took them a bit to find the 'Dragon Queen' but it would have taken them longer if it wasn't for the crowd around said imposter, and it was a large crowd, so large that Igneel couldn't see over all the men the crowd was made up of.

"I can't see over them," Igneel said, trying to stand on his tiptoes to see over the heads of men, causing Zoey to snicker at him and him glaring at her.

"You could ask one of us," Amaris said, rolling her eyes before two white wings spread from her back and her gliding up into the air.

"Where did you find Amaris and Bucky?" Igneel asked as the other two exceeds joined Amaris.

"I didn't find them, they found me. They both were exiled in Edolas to Earthland by the queen, they heard of me and kinda just stayed with me," Zoey said, expression soft. "What about Adeen?"

"Adeen was hatched here, it was her parents who have the interesting story. Carla and Happy, her parents, were hatched here too, but by the queen of the exceeds sent 100 eggs here in Earthland so they would grow up in the wacked up world of Edolas," Igneel explained. "It's a little bit more than that, if you ask Carla some time."

"I would love to hear that story," Zoey said, chuckling.

The exceeds finally came back down from their search for the imposter.

"So what does she look like?" Igneel asked, as most people have no clue what Nashi looked like as she didn't really like to show her face in the papers, he wanted to know how this woman saw Nashi.

"She had dyed yellow hair, a really back color yellow, nothing like Layla or Morgans, or even Lucy's hair. She was wearing only a purple bra and jacket for her top and wore a tiny skirt with fishnets and heels," Adeen described the women who was impersonating Nashi.

Igneel chuckled at how far this woman was. "I'm guessing she's never met Nashi?" Zoey asked.

He nodded. "Nashi has pink hair, she does show her bra under her blazer, but her bra is white and her blazer is black and gold and she wears jean shorts along with brown boots."

"She definitely got her wrong them, how? Does she not show herself in the papers?" Zoey asked, he nodded to tell her that she got it right. She then turned to Bucky. "Magic?"

Igneel's and Adeen's eyebrows raised at this question and when Bucky told her, "Chain magic, though it is not that powerful, but there is a catch, the chains can copy the magic of the captured mage."

"How did you know that? She wasn't using her magic," Adeen asked, wide eyed.

"I've always been able to detect magic, I can't really tell you why though," Bucky admitted, shrugging his shoulders along with crossing his arms.

"Thank you everyone for your hospitality!" A woman's voice boomed out, and then out of nowhere, pink fire came out and the women posing as Nashi was now on top of the fire. "You're all invited to my yacht party tonight! Yes, that means you too girls!" She called to the crowd of girls who were all looking up in admiration at her.

Zoey stared at the women, who caught her eye, they made eye contact before the imposter disappeared.

"Something doesn't feel right with that women…" Igneel trailed off, thinking of what it was that wasn't right.

"Igneel that magic, that magic used to belong to Bora the Prominence, how does she have his magic?" Adeen asked worried.

"She has, or had, him in chains, along with other wizards, that's how she gets her power," Zoey said, her voice devoid of emotion.

"Can we do anything Zoey?" Amaris asked.

She shook her head. "Not until tonight," She answered, her voice returning to normal.

Igneel turned slightly green at the thought of boats. Zoey gave him a look, it looked like she understood, but she couldn't right?

"Well it was nice meeting you Igneel," Zoey said.

"Huh?" Igneel said. "Right it was nice meeting you too? I thought we were going to deal with this mage?"

"We are, tonight. We can meet at the docks, I've got to do somethings before then."

"Oh,"

"We've got to do some shopping too Igneel. Reiki, Suchi, and Asuka asked for, a sword, metals and a hunting gun, remember?" Adeen reminded him.

"Right," Igneel said nodding. "I didn't forget."

"Can I come with?" Bucky asked, making everyone look at him. "I've got to get a new sword or fix mine. Is that okay Zoey?"

"Of course, if Igneel's willing to put up with you,"

"I'm willing," Igneel chuckled at that.

"Then you can," Zoey nodded at him. Bucky's wings appeared and he floated with Igneel and Adeen when they headed back to the main market square. Zoey and Amaris went the other way to get to their hotel.

Hargeon Docks

Night had approached fast, so it was only a couple hours later when Igneel, Adeen and Bucky met up with Zoey and Amaris at the docks.

"So are we crashing this party?" Igneel asked.

"If it's an imposter she won't be having any good intentions," Zoey pointed out, she also actually pointed at the ship that the 'Dragon Queen' was throwing her party on.

"This is almost like Natsu's and Lucy's story, of how they met," Adeen said, chuckling. "Of course Zoey isn't on the ship like Lucy was."

"Natsu and Lucy?" Zoey asked tilting her head a little to the side. She knew who Natsu was, she's met him before, of course it was over 400 years ago, but who was Lucy? Were they Igneel's parents as Natsu's last name was Dragneel…

"My parents," Well that confirmed that. She nodded to tell him that she heard.

"So how are we stopping the boat?" Adeen asked.

Zoey smiled, she reached down for a certain key on her key ring, when she got to the one she wanted, she pulled it off of the key ring. "I got it," She said, smirking.

"So we get to see those keys in action?" Igneel asked, moving his head to the side to see the key.

"Of course," Zoey said, smirking at him. "Now, let's get to it. Open, The Gates of the Underwear! The Siren, Malope!" Zoey yelled, pointing the key at of the ground, a back circle was formed which a figure of a women appeared.

Igneel and Adeen gapped at the women with the black and red crow wings. She had red hair and had a starfish and shells in her hair. The crow wings made up her clothes exposing the middle part of her body. The wings also made up of boots made of feathers ending with her feet exposed to the wood. She had a sash on her hips that was see through green with sand dollars and shells along with a weird fancy necklace. Her inner thighs was also exposed with flesh.

"What do you want?" Malope said harshly a Zoey, glaring at her.

"Bring that boat back to shore, anyway you deemed fit, no killing though," Zoey said glaring back at the siren.

"Fine, but I'm going to need Naomi's help," Malope sneered at her, before turning on the other Dragon Slayer, she also sneered at him.

"Fine, Open, The Gates of the Underworld! The Earth Dragon Slayer, Naomi!" Zoey said, bringing another black key out into her hands and summoning another spirit. Most mages, like Celestial, would be seen struggling with the concentration of magic it takes to keep two spirits out of their gates but Zoey was taking it in stride and didn't even look tired.

Again a black was formed and another figure of a women was shown. This one though looked completely different from Malope.

Naomi had long dark brown hair and green eyes, she was wearing a light brown short skirt and a really short earth green top that had no straps, she also didn't have any shoes, instead tape made up her shoes as that was what was on her legs, they also covered the middles of her feet and top, all that was showing was her toes and her heels.

"Naomi, come we're taking over a ship," Malope said, still scowling but she was more doing it at the ship than anything else.

"Of course you would go back to your roots," Naomi rolled her eyes, but crouched down looking like she was about to jump.

"Hello Naomi," Zoey said, causing the other girl to look at her and she gave her a toothy grin, showing off her fangs.

"Hello Miss. Zoey, long time no see," Naomi said, slightly waving at her, her eyes never moving from the ship though and her stance never changed.

"Ready?" Malope asked.

"As I'll ever be," Naomi replied.

"Go!" Malope's wings extended to their full length and she shot into the air.

Naomi pushed off the ground hard, she then flicked her wrist and earth from under the sea appeared, causing her to use the tower of earth as a jumping board and causing more to carry her to the ship. She arrived a couple of seconds after Malope and once she reached the ship the towers of earth all went back into the water with only small splashes.

"So… how long is this going to take?" Igneel asked, slightly dazed at seeing a Earth Dragon Slayer.

"Shouldn't take long," Zoey replied, smirking at the dazed expression on his face.

The boat that left port about an hour ago suddenly turned around with the help of earth spikes coming from the sea. It also didn't take as long to get back to port as it was going its fastest speed.

"That took no time at all!" Adeen said, eyes so wide that it looked like they were going to pop out of her head.

"Those two can get work done faster than anyone I know," Zoey said proudly.

Malope and Naomi both appeared at the edge of the ship, and Naomi made a earth ramp and the two of them started rolling down innocents, while Igneel and Zoey and the exceeds collected them and moved them to a safe distance. When they finished that Naomi got rid of the ramp and Malope and Naomi started throwing the crew who all looked like thugs.

"Do you think they are from Bosco?" Adeen asked.

"Probably, this would be a easy way to get slaves," Zoey observed.

"Is this the person you are looking for?" Malope asked carrying the imposter of Nashi in her hand.

"Yes, that's her," Zoey said nodding. "Thanks Malope, Naomi, you can go back if you want."

Malope instantly disappeared in a black light dropping the mage and Naomi waved and smiled at Zoey before disappearing in the same black light.

"Do we know who she is?" Bucky asked, walking up to the mage and poking her with a stick.

"That's Noregi Windor! She's that chain mage that was thrown out of Death's Head Caucus for being weak and not being able to use her own magic," Adeen explained to the confused mages.

"That actually explains a lot," Igneel chuckled.

"I'm not weak!" Windor was awake once more.

"If you were thrown out of Death's Head Caucus that means your weak," Zoey pointed out.

"Fire Chains!" Windor said, chains with pink fire around the chain springing from her hands and heading, fast, towards Zoey, who dogged faster than the chains.

Bucky then cut the chains in half with a sword than radiated powerful magic. The chains fizzled and disappeared.

"WEAK!" Zoey, Igneel, Amaris, and Adeen exclaimed causing Windor to get mad.

"Water chain! Ice chain! Earth chain!" She yelled, sending the chains at the mages and the exceeds.

They all started dogging the chains, she never stopping with them.

"Light chain! Black chain! Wind chain!" They had dogged all the chains until the light chain caught Zoey in the leg.

"Ahh!" Zoey screamed as the chain pulled her back to earth as the other chains caught her as well as hitting her with the magic that the chains possess.

"Zoey!" Igneel and the exceeds called out, but they couldn't reach her as Windor kept sending more chains at them.

"So little girl, what magic do you use?" Windor said with a nasty smirk on her face before the chains losing the magic around them and a black mist took over.

"Mist?" Igneel muttered.

"Ahh!" She screamed again, only louder as the chains were draining her of her magic, but she couldn't let this keep going, she gritted her teeth together trying to figure something out that wouldn't expose her.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Igneel shouted before a column of flames hit Windor and her chains, along with her boat, and freeing Zoey, but she couldn't stop shaking from the power drain and how useless she was.

Amaris flew over and grabbed Zoey in case Windor tried to grab her again.

"A Dragon Slayer?! Dang it, he stopped my spell from completing," Windor scowled at the mage, but before she could do anything he came running at her.

"Water chain! Ice chain! Wind chain!" Windor sent out more chains, one's prone to beat fire, but he just dogged them all, coming straight at her.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Igneel yelled out, his right fist lighting on fire and his spell hit the mage straight in the face. She was knocked out cold.

"Weak," Zoey, Bucky, Amaris, and Adeen muttered.

"And here I thought she was going to be tougher," Igneel said, smiling at the exceeds and Zoey, the latter giving him a tired smile.

"You alright?" He asked her, seeing how she was looking more pale than she already was.

"I'm alright, she drained me almost completely, thanks for stopping that by the way," Zoey said, she was set down on the ground by Amaris.

"You're welcome, so are we going to wait for the army?" Igneel asked, looking at the sleeping innocents and thugs and the knocked out Windor.

"I think that would be wise to do so," Amaris said, watching Zoey closely.

"At least we didn't destroy too much," Bucky said looking at the sand marks that showed a battle was fought and the ship that was burning.

"That's true," Zoey chuckled.

"You never did tell me why you three where searching for my sister," Igneel said, remembering their conversation from earlier on in the day.

"Right, sorry," Zoey said, rubbing her neck. "I just heard rumors that your sister was so powerful that she could break any spell."

Igneel let her know that he was listening.

"I just thought maybe she could wake up the seven other Dragon Slayers that have been asleep like me for over 400 years," She was looking at the ground again, embarrassed at admitting she was over 400 years old, earlier never really registering in her mind.

"There are other sleeping Dragon Slayers?" Adeen asked, both her and Igneel wide eyed.

"Yes, two ice, two water, one sun, one moon, and one lightning," Zoey said looking at them.

"You've been trying to find my sister, to help your friends?" Igneel asked, cocking his head to the side.

Zoey nodded. "The only reason I woke was because of Anna Heartfilia woke me up, told me that Acnologia was killed over 20 years ago, which is when I should have really woken up."

"And why-" Igneel was cut off from the army finally showing up, but he couldn't get rid the feeling that Zoey wouldn't tell him any more even if the army didn't show up.

The army quickly gathered the information that happened from an eyewitnesses, including Zoey, Igneel, Adeen, Bucky, and Amaris. They found out from the citizens that the boat turned around and quickly returned to port in a matter of minutes, though was seen leaving an hour earlier. The said boat then had a ramp made out of earth to roll down citizens and tourist on the boat, while throwing down the mean looking men and a women.

When they asked the mages and exceeds who were there, they didn't leave out any details, telling them what happened and who the mage was.

They finally got out of the interviews and started running from the city of Hargeon as to not be targeted with any more questions.

They stopped at the cities train station, where the last train was leaving for Magnolia in less than 20 minutes.

"So this is where we part ways," Zoey said, her exceeds in her arms.

"Part ways? I don't think so," Igneel said amused by this mage who looked quiet shocked by his statement.

"What do you mean?" She asked, wanting know why this Fire Dragon Slayer was giving her a hard time, all she wanted to do was free her friends.

"I mean, come join Fairy Tail, it would help you in the long run with finding and freeing your friends as my sister is part of the guild, remember?" Igneel said, raising his eyebrow at her.

"Join Fairy Tail? An actual guild?" Zoey looked like she was in heaven, even if it doesn't look so, but she would love that very much. "You're a part of it?" She asked, not seeing his guild mark.

"Oh right, the bandages!" Igneel exclaimed, mentally facepalming himself for forgetting about them. He then grabbed the bandages around his arm, to show that underneath was a red Fairy Tail guild mark.

"You are a part of Fairy Tail!" Bucky exclaimed, excited as he always wanted to join Fairy Tail ever since he heard of it when they all woke up.

"Yep, and we, Adeen and I, would really love it if you three joined!" Igneel said brightly, and Adeen nodded in agreement with him.

"I still get to find and free my friends?" Zoey asked, making sure.

"Yes,"

She smiled at him, widely. "Than you have a deal,"

Igneel smiled brightly again, it really never faded from his face. "Awesome! Come on, Magnolia awaits!" He said, running to board the five minute to depart train, Zoey running, and giggling, to catch up with him. Her never being any happier, as well as Amaris and Bucky.
