The plot was heavily influenced by Don Aker's The First Stone. This doesn't lay in any specific arc. Just imagine this as Magnolia with highways and electronics.
The town of Magnolia, was known for their wizard guild Fairy Tail, which was the light and heart of the whole town. Inside of that guild, were mages who considered each other to be family. Now when one of them was hurt by another mage outside the guild, they would stop at nothing to find that person and show justice.
In other parts of Magnolia, there were other guilds. Some of them not so good. Phantom Lord, a guild who disguised themselves to be a legal wizard guild, but did shady business on the inside. The council had always been suspicious of them, so they often paid many visits. This is where a special mage, Gajeel played an important role.
He had formed a special bond with a council woman named Belno. She was the only person to ever show him any sort of love. But with her recent passing, Gajeel's life just went straight down hill. He was denied access to her funeral, which was just the council stirring the pot to see if Phantom Lord would react. Of course they didn't, no one in the guild knew of Gajeel's relationship with Belno, and even if they did know, they couldn't care less.
Now Gajeel Redfox stood on top of Magnolia's largest bridge; watching magic mobiles drive by at a rapid pace below his feet. Using his magic to conjure up a scrap of metal, he held it on the edge of the railing. He closed his eyes, and imagined the last time he was here.
Flashback
Gajeel overlooks the cars beside Belno.
"Why did you bring me here, old woman?"
"This is where my son passed away. He was about your age."
"So-"
"He reminds me of you, Gajeel. My point is that he lived a life full of meaning. Everything he did, he did for a good reason.I am not going to stand here and lecture you about how to live a just and proper life... But... I will stand here and tell you to live one that has some meaning."
End of Flashback
"Bull shit…" he sobbed, 'Bull shit." He gripped the scrap piece of metal tighter, and held it over the cars speeding by.
He saw the purple magic mobile approaching and at the right time, he let go of the scrap and walked away. Hearing a very loud and aggressive car swerve and crash, he hesitated for a moment, but quickly kept walking. Having no idea that the person whose life he almost ended would make a huge impact in his future life.
…
Paramedics flooded beneath the overpass. A girl with blue hair lays in her car unconscious and unresponsive.
"Ben look…" One of the younger paramedics pointed to her back, "She's from Fairy Tail."
"I pray for the poor soul who did this to her." The older man responded.
"You think it was done purposefully?"
"Well I can't be for sure, but something tells me it wasn't just an accident."
Back at the Fairy Tail guild, a man slowly walks up to the front doors straight to The Master's office.
"Master Makarov?" He knocked at the door.
A girl with white hair, Mirajane, opened the door with a welcoming smile. In the rather large office, were five other people, with two cats. Small chatter amongst themselves, none of them were really paying attention.
"I come bearing bad news about one of your members." The chattering stopped. Eight pairs of eyes were on him.
"A girl with blue hair got into an accident today."
A blue haired mage, Wendy, spoke up, "There's only two girls in the guild with blue hair. Me and…"
"Levy." A blonde girl, Lucy, finished the sentence.
They look surprisingly calm, for people who almost lost one of their members. Wait, this can't be good. The usually rowdy guild is being quiet. I'd better get out of here.
"Is she going to be okay?" The master asked.
"She's currently residing in the closest hospital from here: Magnolia Heights." The man turned to leave, before he was asked any more questions.
"We should go see her." Lucy, spoke up.
"You're right. Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray and Wendy, you all go see her. I'll tag along. Mira, I need you to tell the rest of the guil what happened. My parent senses are telling me this wasn't just an accident."
