This is the rewritten version of my first fanfic. Ok, so ever since I read Fairy Tail Zero (the side story stating how Mavis started out and how the guild came to be) I noticed the timeline didn't fit. It was off by 10 years or so, if it were to work the way I wanted it to. And after I reread the story, I realised I really SUCKED back then, detail, facts, planning and writing wise. So, a rewrite was definitely in order. I tweaked here and there, did some research and calculations, and VOILA! Here is the rewrite! I'd say 70% of it is still the same, while the rest has changed (timeline, her magics, POVs and such). Also, I've added a flashback/explanation chapter, since the timeline has changed quite a bit.

The story starts after the Edolas arc, FYI.

Eventual OC x Laxus. and mentions of my other otps.

Please take note of the AN at the end!

WARNING! FT AIN'T MINE, SLOW UPDATES, POSSIBLE OOC-NESS AND LIGHT CUSSING. But expect good grammar, cause I can't stand bad grammar (no offense to anyone out there).

One very normal day at the guild~

At the guild

"Hmm? Where did master go?" Erza had just returned from a mission along with team Natsu, opting to go straight to Mira at the bar for her favourite dessert. "and a slice of strawberry cake please."

"Sure thing." Mira gave her signature smile as she turned away to get Erza's cake "I think master went to get the preparations for the S-class exam underway. Here's your cake!" she set the white plate on the counter in front of Erza, whose eyes were positively sparkling with anticipation.

"Ah. I guess so. It's that time of year again. Thank you." Erza thanked the white-haired mage and proceeded to focus her attention on her precious cake.

Meanwhile in the background of the guild….

"Ahhhhhhh~ I'm tired…" Lucy whined, plopping herself on one of the empty tables in the guild hall.

"LUCYYYYYYYYY! NEW MISSION LET'S GO!" … then came the annoying one…

"AYE SIR!" … accompanied by the even more annoying one.

Natsu had wasted no time finding another job, going as far as almost tearing the paper in half when ripping it off the request board and enthusiastically waving the piece of paper in front of Lucy's face, much to her dismay. Swatting the paper from her face, she let out a groan and slammed her hand to her head before looking up at the pinkette.

"Natsu. Do you realize we just came BACK from a mission?" Lucy asked with obvious hints of irritation and fatigue in her voice.

"Uh huh. So?" said the dense-as-ever dragon slayer.

"I'm tired." She said, deciding to cut to the chase since he would take half a year to get the hint.

"But I'm not!" and cue facepalm.

"AYE! Me neither!" Happy backed Natsu up by circling Lucy until she caught him by the wings and slammed his bum to the table, earning an 'OWW' from the blue exceed.

"Then go by yourself. I wanna rest." She huffed and rested her chin on Happy's head.

Natsu gave a comically shocked expression. "But it's boring without you!" he exclaimed and sat down opposite Lucy with a slight pout.

"AYE!" Happy voiced from below Lucy's head.

"Natsu. I'm going say this one more time. NO."

"Lucyyyyyyyyyyyy." He whined like a child throwing a tanthrum.

"No means no."

"But Lu-" Natsu then got cut off by none other than Gray, who had made an appearance from behind a pillar.

"If she doesn't wanna go then don't force her." He said whilst leaning on the pillar and acting cool, promptly setting off Juvia who was stalking him from halfway across the guild, torn between fuming at her 'love-rival' and swooning at Gray acting cool.

"None of your business, stripper." Natsu clicked his tongue and shot a look at him.

"What did you call me you oversized lizard?!" Gray had now leapt from his previous spot to headbutt Natsu.

"I called you a stripper, stripper! Are your ears stuffed with ice?! And I'm a dragon!" He butted back, not wanting to lose to Gray in any way.

"YOU WANNA GO?!"

"BRING IT!"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand just like that another typical brawl started out. Nobody ever knows how it starts from 2 people, then ends up as the whole guild fighting in less than 5 minutes.

Oh who am I kidding! It obviously starts from Natsu and Gray fighting over completely nonexistent feuds and one of them flinging a table at Elfman who will in turn start yelling about how 'fighting is man!' who will then cause Gajeel to yell at him to shut up only to receive a chair and ice lance to the face due to the escalating fight. Gajeel will then start flinging everything everywhere causing many other unwanted fights to break out before punching Gray who will fall on top off the escaping Lucy which will trigger 2 things: an even more pissed off Natsu and a livid Juvia muttering 'love rival' left right centre. Who will start drowning the guild while the pinkette would proceed to punch the living daylights out of Gray who would 'accidentally' unleash an ice attack that would hit Erza who is blissfully oblivious to the fight until her cake is hit.

Erza was indeed in her own fantasy and failing to notice the chaos erupting just behind her. That was, until a wave of magic (undoubtedly from Gray) hit her plate, shattering it and making her drop her cake.

PLOP.

…

…

…

…

The guild was instantly silenced.

This would NOT end well.

"My cake…." Then. She snapped.

Erza whipped around and yelled with an eerie aura surrounding her: "PREPARE TO DIE!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and then the whole guild ran. At this point the widespread brawl had turned into a 'run-for-your-life' chase. Erza began knocking out one person after another, yelling 'DIEEEE' and 'YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS'. At least the guild would be quieter by the time she's done.

Mira sighed with a small smile from behind the counter and dodged a chair that flew her way. "The guild just never changes…"

At Tenrou Island

Master Makarov was walking around Tenrou Island, inspecting and preparing for the upcoming S-class exams. He let out a sigh. It had been almost a month since Laxus had been excommunicated. To be honest, he missed him. After all, he had watched that boy grow up.

"No…. I can't be thinking these kinds of thoughts now…." And he shook his head to clear it.

As Makarov finished his preparation for the day, he felt a sudden surge of unfamiliar magic from the eastern part of the island. Instinctively, he knew something wasn't right and ran off to the source of stray magic. Making his way to the site, he prepared himself for everything. An enemy, an ambush, a monster, a bomb, a trap, anything actually. But when he reached the area, he saw nothing.

"Something isn't right…" He mumbled to himself and began scouring the area.

Not a minute later, he felt that same surge of magic, but his time it was coupled with a cracking sound that came from his right. Quickly turning around, he finally noticed a gleam of blue from behind a thicket of dense vines. It cracked again as he made his way cautiously towards the vines. Once he got close enough, he saw that it was someone encased in a deep blue, ice-like crystal.

Eyes widening, he swiftly cleared the vines from the large crystal and it revealed a girl with dark red hair and a white dress that was torn slightly at the sides; a beautiful silver bracelet with sapphire gem drops hung from her wrist and a small brown pouch slung on her back. She looked to be suspended in mid-fall with a few injuries yet her expression was one of peace. She probably fell unconscious before she was encased. What he finally noticed nearly sent him a heart attack. The Fairy Tail guild mark was stamped in sky blue on her left cheek, the lower part of the mark tracing her jawline as if she was born with the mark.

"…What in the name of Mavis happened here?" Makarov reached out and placed his hand on the breaking crystal against his better judgement. In an instance, he was pulled into a vivid flashback and grunted as images of unfamiliarity raced into his mind.

VERY IMPORTANT!
