AN: Keep in mind that I wrote the prequel to this story before the first chapter of 100 Year Quest story arc came out.

Sunlight shined through in Magnolia. In a certain room with beautiful flowers, the light shined through and woke up the woman. The girl woke up and stared out into the sun. For those who have forgotten, this woman is named Natalia. She was once part of a sinister affiliation known as E.R., also known as Eclear Revival. E.R. is an organization sought to locate and revive a dangerous man named Eclear. Natalia was a member, but she has become part of Fairy Tail now.

"A brand new day. I wonder what Fairy Tail is up to today." Natalia said. She got dressed and was on her way out. When Natalia became a part of Fairy Tail, she moved in Fairy Hills with the rest of the female members. Natalia was on her way out when she spotted Erza, Carla, and Wendy. "Morning."

"Oh. Good morning, Natalia." Wendy said. She was friendly, but Erza and Carla were careful around her.

"Another day, another chance to earn some cash." Natalia said as she was on her way out. Wendy took noticed of how Carla and Erza were looking at her.

"Are you two still on guard around Natalia?" Wendy questioned.

"Well of course." Carla said. "Don't forget that she was once our enemy. She claims that the only reason she joined was because of Natsu."

"Carla has a point, Wendy." Erza said. "Natalia was a crafty and sneaky one when we fought her and the rest of E.R.6. at Enchants."

"I know, but it's already been about a month since Natalia has joined the guild and she really hasn't done anything." Wendy said.

"Nevertheless, she isn't one we should trust so easy." Carla said. Natsu and his team haven't truly accepted Natalia as a part of Fairy Tail yet since she was at first their enemy. The only reason Natalia joined the guild was because she felt she owes Natsu since he saved her life. The rest of the guild has appeared to have accepted.

Natalia

Natalia has grown quite accustomed to Magnolia. It was a quaint little town to her and she didn't really seem to mind it. As she made her way through the town, she passed by some people and buildings, she looked around at all of them.

"Look at all of them. All of them going around acting like they have simple and happy lives." Natalia said. As she was walking through the streets, someone was watching her from the rooftops and it was a cold stare. Natalia thought something was wrong, but when she turned in the direction of the person, there wasn't a sign of anyone. That didn't settle Natalia as she had a bad feeling about this.

….

The Guild

"Here you go, Natsu." Mira said as she handed Natsu and Happy some juice. People were starting to gather at the guild and Natsu and Happy were already there with them at the bar counter.

"Thanks, Mira." Natsu said.

"You're the best." Happy said and they helped themselves. As the two helped themselves to some the juice, Natalia spotted Natsu and walked right over to him.

"Hello, Natsu." Natalia said with a flirting tone. Another thing about Natalia, she has a thing for Natsu.

"Oh. You again." Natsu said with some annoyance. Happy was a little nervous with Natalia being around.

"So are you still with that blonde who has her head in the stars?" Natalia said as rubbed Natsu's muscles.

"Yeah. He is and she's right behind you." Natalia noticed Lucy right behind them and she was giving a look that was saying Natalia should move away. "Natalia, Natsu is with me, remember?"

"I know, but I can have my fun with Natsu." Natalia said. "I'll see you around, Natsu." She said as she caressed his face and walked away. Lucy took a seat next to Natsu and Natsu placed his arm around her.

"She's as annoying as Gray." Natsu said.

"Hey! I heard that." All of them looked to the side and saw Gray walking towards them. "Let me guess. Natalia again."

"Yeah. She makes me uncomfortable whenever she comes by." Happy said.

"Guys, I know Natalia was your enemy, but don't you think you're all being unfair to her? We've had a some enemies that became our friends." Mirajane said. "She's been in Fairy Tail for about a month and the worst that she's done is flirt with Natsu while he's with Lucy."

"If Natalia really was serious about being part of Fairy Tail, she tell us where the left of E.R. is." Natsu said as he slammed his fist against the counter. "The 100 year quest is technically left unfinished and that really bugs me. It's not complete until we take down all of E.R. and one of them is right here with us."

"Calm down." Gray said. "I doubt Natalia could tell us even if she wanted to. There are three main units of E.R. out there, but they operate in the shadows and are always moving. No one even knows where they are. They could be anywhere in the world really. That also means that they probably don't interact with each other. Natalia's unit might be locked up, but she probably has no idea where the rest of them could be."

"Gray's got a point." Lucy said. "We won't be able to take down anyone in E.R. until we find them. We haven't heard anything form Princess Rose or Platinum Angel. All we can do is wait until they show up."

….

Natalia

Natalia stepped outside to get some air and felt a nice breeze going through. She took it all in and felt like she didn't have a worry in the world.

"Gajeel, I'm not made out of glass." Natalia looked further down to see Levy with Panther Lily. "I'm only a few months pregnant. It's not like I'm bloated or anything."

"Excuse me for being careful." Gajeel said.

"It's natural that someone who is about to be a father would be concerned with the mother of his child." Panther Lily said.

"I see that she's doing well." Natalia said as she came over to them.

"Hi, Natalia." Levy said. "Yeah. I'm doing okay, but this iron head is treating me like I'm the most fragile thing in the world."

"You're the one who keeps telling me I have to take the responsibilities of a father serious!" Gajeel said.

"Don't yell at me!" Levy said.

"Okay. It seems like you two have some stuff to work out. So I'll just walk down by the lake." Natalia said and was on her way.

"I get that Lucy doesn't like Natalia flirting with Natsu, but Natalia doesn't seem like that bad of a person." Levy said.

"Yeah. She doesn't even look that tough for a fight." Gajeel said. Levy just smacked him in the arm for that. "What was that even for? What did I say?" Levy ignored the question and went back in the guild. "What's her problem now?"

"You think too much of fighting and commented that Natalia doesn't look strong." Panther Lily said. "You should know better than that." Gajeel was getting annoyed himself and just followed her inside. Natalia walked by the lake and looked down at her reflection. She looked back on what has happened with her this past month and stared at her guild mark on her thigh.

'I must admit, this guild isn't all that bad.' Natalia thought. 'It's never boring here and people do know how to keep things interesting.' Natalia continued to stare down at her reflection, but was cut off when she saw ice was forming over the water. "What?"

"You are aware that this means trouble for you." Natalia was quite surprised because she knew that voice. Natalia slowly turned her head to the side and began to get anxious. Standing there was a man with tanned skin and had black curly hair. He wore a purple dress shirt with a white buttoned vest and a pale-yellow tie and wore white pants.

"Kojishi?!" Natalia said.

"It's been a while hasn't it, Natalia?" Kojishi said.

"What are you even doing here?" Natalia said.

"I got word that E.R.6. was actually arrested a month ago, but you managed to escape." Kojishi said. "You actually joined a legal guild. You know that's not going to do well for you, right? What could have possessed you that you would actually join a guild?"

"That's my business." Natalia said as she was slowly backing away out of fear.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kojishi said and swiped his arm. Blocks of ice instantly formed on the ground and cut off Natalia's escape route. Natalia looked at the reflection in the ice and saw flash images of destruction and chaos with the tears of a child. Natalia couldn't handle it as she screamed at the top of her lungs and dropped to her knees. "You haven't change. Let's just make it easy and come with me." Kojishi stepped towards her and he was ready to take her away. Natalia was too paralyzed with fear to move or fight back. Kojishi was about to take her, but he heard a cracking sound come his ice. He turned to it and saw a block break to pieces with Natsu coming through.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu tried to strike him, but Kojishi jumped back and avoided the attack. Kojishi sensed another attack coming. He looked up and saw Erza coming down at him with a sword in her hands. She tried slashing at him, but Kojishi formed a shield of ice and stopped the attack. Erza jumped back and stood with Natsu as they were both ready to fight. Kojishi looked around and saw some of the other members coming.

"What's going on here? Identify yourself." Erza said in a demanding tone, but Kojishi refused to answer. Everyone kept their guard up around this guy. Lucy look towards Natalia and saw she was still shaken up.

"Natalia?" Lucy questioned. She and Happy went over to her. When they touched her, they could feel her shaking.

"What's wrong with her? Is she freezing from all this ice?" Happy questioned. Lucy looked around and remembered something else about Natalia.

"No. She's shaking out of fear. I almost forgot. Natalia has a fear of ice magic." Lucy said.

"That's right." Kojishi said. "She's actually had that fear since she was a child. Obviously, she hasn't gotten over it yet."

"So she's afraid of ice? So what?" Natsu said. He didn't care about any of that. He was just looking for a fight.

"How would you know how long Natalia's had this fear?" Erza said. "I also asked you to identify yourself. Who are you and what do you want?"

"My name is Kojishi. What I want is for Natalia to come with me. As for how I know of Natalia's fear, that one is simple. It's because I'm the one who placed the fear inside her." That was a surprise to those who didn't know. As Natalia shook in fear, everyone one wonders the same thing. Who is this Kojishi and what connection does he have to Natalia?
