DISCLAIMER: I do not in any way own Fairy Tail or the characters used here.
First shot at a Fairy Tail fanfic. Let's see how this goes! For those of you reading my Gundam story, sit tight there'll be another chapter soon enough!
In the year X-792 a black-haired boy with mid-spiky hair yawned as the sun shined over his face. He had slept in the Great East Forest last night after travelling for three days straight. The yellow light covered his tan-skinned arms as he turned his face away from the sun. He wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers with a piece of string that held a small white stone around his neck. His dream was finally about to come true, the day he would join the Fairy Tail guild was today. He should have been excited, but he ran a lot last night and eventually collapsed onto the ground.
The reason for the bedroll underneath him is his travelling companion, Zach Devon. The fair-skinned black-haired boy was already up, cooking the two of them breakfast over the campfire. He flipped his long hair to the side and put his black vest and red flannel shirt on. His dark blue jeans and white shoes were already on. "Hey Ash, get up!" He yelled and his friend mumbled something in response. "You don't wanna miss joining Fairy Tail do ya?"
Ash rose up like bread popping out of the toaster. "What?! THAT'S TODAY?!" Zach sweatdropped. "OH MAN I GOTTA GET READY!" He looked down. "Wait I am." The boy stood up and grabbed the cooked fish that his friend handed him and stuffed it in his face. "COME ON EAT FASTER DUDE!"
Zach rolled his eyes. "Geez let a guy eat would ya.." He nearly choked on his fish when Ash grabbed his arm and began running towards Magnolia. "Sometimes I hate travelling with you.." He sighed and closed his eyes for a few seconds.
Finally the two of them began running as fast as they could, though the only reason Zach was running that fast was because they were like brothers, and being the oldest, he had to take care of him. Ash was always getting into trouble and his anger issues were a whole other thing. "Slow down Ash! You're gonna hurt yourself!"
Ash was already near the entrance of the Fairy Tail guild hall when he started laughing. "I won't trip! That only happens in stories!" The boy ate is words as he tripped over his own feet and his face hit the ground. When he rose his head a large red mark was all over his face. "Stupid Zach.. always has to be right." The aforementioned boy helped his little brother up and the two of them took a deep breath and stared at the door for a while.
"Wait a second Ash.. this is really awesome. We walked all the way here and now we're almost at the guild. Take a moment to take it all in." Zach smiled proudly. Ash only pulled an annoyed face and rushed in, leaving Zach to open his mouth and widen his eyes in a shocked expression. "DAMMIT YOU!"
The whole guild looked at the two of them. A scarlet-haired woman turned towards them with an annoyed look and everyone started to shake in fear. A blond girl only giggled nervously while a dark-blue haired boy only stared at them. "What is the meaning of this?! Unless the town is burning down, or the world's about to end, don't bother me when I'm in the middle of a fight!" She yelled, instilling fear into both boys.
"W-We're here.. to join the g-guild.." Zach stuttered nervously. He winced as she walked closer to the pair of them and shrieked a little bit as she summoned a blade and held it to his throat. "Ash.." Zach turned his head to look at his friend who was already hitting on the blond girl. "ASH?!"
"Enough! You're here to join the guild? We'll see what the master thinks about that." She replied and turned her head as a purple-haired man walked downstairs. He chuckled a little bit and smiled.
"Put the swords away Erza.. we don't need another accident like what happened with Makarov.." He asked with a little bit of fear. The redhead bowed repeatedly and her swords dissappeared.
"I'm sorry master! I'm sorry master! I'm sorry master! It won't happen again!" She stood beside him.
"Anyway.." The man cleared his throat. "I'm master Macao. What brings you two here?" He eyed the pair.
"We're here to join the best guild in Fiore! Fairy Tail!" Ash yelled brightly. "So can we?!"
He put a hand to his chin and thought about it. "Hm.. I don't know. We'll have to test you.." A glint of hope appeared in Ash and Zach's eyes but soon it faded and their eyes widened in horror when they noticed Macao staring at the redhead. "Hm? Oh! Don't worry we won't test you against Erza." He sweatdropped as the two face-vaulted from relief. "But who else is just as strong I wonder?"
"You're not seriously considering them for our guild are you?" Erza asked and her eyes turned towards both boys. "One of them has a strange look in his eyes and the tall one is shivering in fear right now."
Zach frowned. "That's only cause you're looking at me!" He winced as she glared.
"Why not Erza? It'll be great to have new members!" The blond girl added. "I mean.. don't hurt me?" A nervous expression formed on her face and she put her hands up in defense.
"That's Erza the great for you!" A blue cat chimed in. "Even after all these years, Lucy's still scared of her!"
"Shut up cat!" She banged her fist on his head. "You should be called Annoying not Happy."
"I'm cool with it if the master is." The dark-blue haired boy answered.
Lucy sighed and rested her face on her fist. "Grey, your clothes.."
"WHA?!" He flinched and saw he was in underwear.
"I'm fine with it but we need to see your strength.. so who's gonna fight these two? Bear in mind it'll be two on one.."

Just then everybody turned their attention to a pile of broken chairs and tables as a flaming fist rose out of it. The rubble shifted and was blasted away as a pink-haired boy with a white-scarf stood there, covered in flames. "I'll do it!" He grinned. "Natsu Dragneel! Nice to meet ya!"
"Natsu!" Lucy, Erza and Grey yelled. "He's still alive? Even after the beating she gave him?" Lucy was surprised.
"That's Natsu for ya!" Happy joined in.
Macao smirked. "Then that's that! You two will fight against our very own Natsu!"
Ash and Zach looked at Natsu and grinned back. "Alright!"

They stood on an open field, near a lake close to Magnolia. Knowing how destructive Natsu can get while fighting, Macao chose this as the location for the battle. Erza, Grey and Lucy came to watch as the rest of the guild members stayed back at the guild hall. "This will be a simple fight! First side to admit defeat or get KO'd loses! Go!"

Natsu rushed forward with two flaming fists. He swung a punch at Zach who dodged while Ash delivered a kick to the side of Natsu's head. "So you fight together huh..?!" He turned around and punched Ash in the gut with his flaming fist as Zach came up behind him and kicked him in the back. Natsu grinned as he swung a punch at both of them, connecting with their faces, sending them flying back. The pair landed on their feet and grinned.
"NOW!" Just then Ash's fists were covered in fire and he rushed forward, both Natsu and Ash connected their fists together and grappled with each other. "Not bad Natsu! Exactly what I'd expect from the Salamander!"
"Thanks! You're not so bad yourself!"
"Too bad you forgot about my bro!" Ash grinned as Natsu turned around to see Zach surrounded by twirling air. "Enjoy this!" Ash leapt back as Zach charged forward with a roar.
"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" He yelled and struck Natsu in the face with the attack, sending the Fire Dragon Slayer into the ground. He got up and wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Dragon Slayers huh..? NOW IT'LL BE AN EQUAL FIGHT!" Natsu rushed forward and grinned wildly as his fist erupted into flames. "FIRE DRAGON'S CLAW!" The blow struck Zach dead-on, smacking the Dragon Slayer into the water. Natsu turned around to see Ash running towards him and both boys initated Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, causing an explosion as they collided with each other. Natsu landed on his feet and skid back while Ash rolled and stumbled while getting up.
"These guys are pretty strong. Wouldn't you agree guys?" Macao inquired and the rest mumbled in agreement.
Just then though, Natsu gained the upper hand by distracting Ash when they were grappling. He kicked the boy away and rushed forward, moving his fist in an uppercut as his fingers collided with Ash's chin, sending him flying into the air and leaving a trail of fire behind. "Yeah they're strong Macao, but they can't beat me!" He grinned and winked. When he didn't hear the sound of Ash splashing into the water he looked around. "Huh?" Zach had helped his friend by casting Vernier on him. "Woah.."
Ash and Zach both returned to land and took an offensive stance. "Let's do this bro!" Both of them yelled and raised their arms as fire and air twisted around them. They both put two hands in front of their mouths and narrowed their eyes at Natsu. "DUAL DRAGON ROAR!" Suddenly a large blast of both air and fire magic burst out of their mouths and twirled around each other, combining into an even larger blue and orange blast. Natsu couldn't believe his eyes and was too slow to react and the blast hit him. The explosion was large and several flocks of birds flew away.
When the smoke cleared everyone looked on with a worried expression. Natsu was still standing, barely, and wiped his mouth. "Wow.. you guys sure are tough." Black marks were all over him along with cuts. "I think we've all seen how strong you guys are. Macao?" He struggled to stand up straight.
Everyone looked to Macao as he thought about his decision. Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Grey, Ash and Zach's hearts were all racing in anticipation and nervousness.
