Chapter 1: Wasteland
A hundred years ago, a massive war broke out. Both sides fought with passion for their cause, which has been forgotten since, yet neither side resorted to nuclear weapons. But eighty years ago, an unknown third side fired their nuclear missiles, which quickly turned the war of basic artillery into nuclear warfare. The world fell quickly, leaving few survivors, some of which went feral, becoming known as 'Aggressives' to all the people who kept their sanity. But now, in a ruined city, a young girl is about to help rebuild the world.
"I don't know Plue," a young blonde girl sighed, "Are you sure there is anything here?"
Plue barked at his master, the little white dog's tail wagging franticly, as if to say his owner was wrong.
The duo were hiking through the remains of a tall grey building, looking through it's collapsed wall for supplies.
The girl sighed, staring into the unforgiving darkness, trying to make anything out, with no success. "Come on Lucy!" she said to herself, "When has Plue been wrong."
"Never master!" Lucy said in a stupid voice, as if trying to make Plue talk (If you've ever had a pet you've done this at least once!), before bending over to her only friend to give him a stroke. Lucy stood back up, and adjusted her light blue t-shirt, which was at least three sizes too big, letting out a long sigh after.
"Grrroof!" Plue yelled, sniffing the fresh air outside the building, staring intently at the tattered tarmac that used to be a road.
Then Lucy heard a noise which struck fear into her heart:
A car.
Aggressives like to use cars, especially loud ones: they don't really know that noise scares away anyone nearby.
Lucy grabbed Plue, and dragged him behind the only piece of wall still standing of a nearby building, waiting for the Aggressives to pass.
But they didn't.
"Hey Happy?" one of the Aggressives said, his pink hair blowing in the wind, "Think we should scavenge for fuel, this place is bound to have some!"
"Aye sir!" said the Aggressive's companion, he looked a lot younger than his friend, maybe early teens?
"Hey look, Happy!" the first Aggressive chirped, holding up a frilly shirt, "I found a new top!"
"Well done Natsu (You found a woman's top you imbecile)!" Happy laughed, "It's been a day since you burnt your last one off, and staring at your hideous chest for a day was a nightmare!"
"My chest isn't that bad!" Natsu snapped, prodding his stomach, before putting his new shirt on.
"If only I found that!" Lucy sighed quietly.
"Ruff!" Plue snapped, but not at Lucy, or the Aggressives, at a rabbit that had made the mistake of crossing the little dog's field of view.
"Shh!" Lucy growled at her pooch, but the Aggressives had noticed.
"Oh my God!" Natsu squealed, "Happy, I found my very own girl!"
"Really!?" Happy gasped, running over to his friend.
Lucy realized that close up, these two idiots didn't look like Aggressives, the younger boy, Happy's dirty blue hair and energetic expression didn't seem hostile, and the older one, Natsu's cluelessness could hardly be compared to the normal traits of Aggressives.
Natsu grabbed Lucy by the arm, and dragged her round her hiding spot, to in front of him, much to Plue's dismay.
"So girl?" Natsu grinned, "What's your name?"
"Lucy?" the blonde replied.
"Well Lucy, you are now my girl, and I will take good care of you!" Natsu smiled, his eyes wild, "Get in the car!"
"What?" Lucy frowned.
"Your mine now?" Natsu said.
"I am a human as well you plonker!" Lucy snapped, taking her hands from Natsu's grip, "And I'm not getting into your car!"
"What?" Natsu said confused, as the girl stormed away from him, "But those magazines..."
Lucy stopped, "You think girls are possessions because of magazines?"
"Yeah... Why?" Natsu frowned.
Lucy walked up to the pink haired boy, and gave him a slap around the face, "Don't believe everything you see in magazines!" she growled.
"Sorry about my friend," Happy said to Lucy, "He's a bit of an idiot..."
"Your response to finding me suggests your one too," Lucy scowled.
"Hey!" Happy frowned.
In their time of arguing the trio had failed to notice the three dirty men creeping up behind them, guns equipped in each of their filthy grips.
"Lookie what we have here!" the first man smirked.
"Oh no!" Lucy gasped, "Aggressives!"
"Aye!" Happy gasped.
Natsu took a single step forward, his eyes had lost their wild tint.
"What are you doing?" Lucy frowned.
"Natsu has a little trick!" Happy grinned.
"Kill the kids and take the girl!" the second man said.
"Yeah, then we'll have our very own girl!" the third cheered.
"Why do I have to live in such a sexist reality?" Lucy sighed.
"She's my girl!" Natsu scowled, stepping in front of Lucy, "Your not getting her!"
"And what ya going to do about it?" the first man laughed.
Lucy gasped at Natsu's response: He set his hand on fire.
Natsu launched at the first man, smashing his fist into the man's filthy chin, before sending another punch into the third man's stomach.
The second man fired.
But Natsu avoided the bullet, leaping up and smashing the man's head into the road.
"Did he just?" Lucy gasped.
"Aye!" Happy replied, a massive grin on his face.
"How long have you been able to do that!?" Lucy asked the pink haired boy.
"All my life!" Natsu grinned, "And I don't know why!"
Lucy sighed, "Well, I will travel with you!"
"Really?" Happy gasped.
"It's best to stay in groups, and with someone like Natsu over there, it'll be hard for me to get killed."
"Now who's exploiting who?" Natsu grinned.
"Oh yeah, and treat me like a human!" Lucy scowled.
"Well, let's get going!" Natsu grinned, running over to his rust heap of a car.
"Aye!" Happy grinned, grabbing Lucy's hand, before running over to his friend, Plue in hot pursuit.
Sorry about the short chapter ;-;
