Chapter 1: Familial Relations
In a land far, far away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small, peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace. For most magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name... is Fairy Tail.
A train pulled into Magnolia station, and out poured the passengers. However, in the rearmost carriage, a man with hair of a salmon shade and coal-black eyes fell onto the ground with puffed out cheeks, trying not to vomit. The group in front of him consisting of a well endowed blond, a shirtless black haired male, an armoured red-head, and a small blue bipedal cat floating in the air with wings. They looked at the salmon haired man with looks of annoyance and frustration.
"Come on Natsu we don't have all day to get back to the guild." said the shirtless black haired man to the now identified Natsu. Natsu then jumped up and started butting heads with the shirtless
man.
"You want to say that again, Popsicle Stick?" Natsu argued with the shirtless man now identified as Popsicle Stick.
"Yeah, Get up, Flame-Brain." Was the response of Popsicle Stick. They immediately started throwing insults at each other, until the red-head pushed them apart.
"Knock it off you two." said the redhead in a very assertive tone and the three immediately snapped to attention, for fear of pain.
"Yes, Miss Erza!" All but shouted the three terrified wizards to the now identified Erza.
"Man Erza is scary when she breaks up Natsu and Gray's fights." Was the blonde's response to the small cat flying next to her.
"Aye Sir!" Added the flying cat to the blonde with a salute.
"Lucy, Happy, come on we are leaving." Erza all but ordered as she dragged an unconscious Gray and Natsu with, bumps on their heads, out of the train station into the streets of Magnolia.
"Yes Ma'am!" Lucy and Happy fearfully exclaimed and ran to catch up with them.
(5 Minutes Later *in a french accent*)
Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, & Happy all stood in front of the new Fairy Tail guild hall staring at it in amazement.
"Wow the new guild hall looks amazing and allot bigger." Lucy said astonished.
"I don't like it. It's different." was Natsu's response.
"Why are there so many beetles in the air, it seems quite strange." Gray inquired.
"It is a little strange but there must be some migrating through this area for the summer." Erza stated as she walked to the door but couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the insects and the shadows of the guild hall, but brushed it off as being the oddity of the new guild hall. When she pushed open the doors the rest of Fairy Tail was talking and drinking, but stopped when they noticed who had entered the guild and started cheering for their return. As they started walking into the guild hall and started walking toward Master Makarov people were congratulating them on their success at the Tower of Heaven. When they reached him he smiled wide at the young wizards before him.
"Welcome back I hope that vacation did you well and congratulations on beating Jellal and destroying the Tower of Heaven." Makarov congratulated the team.
"Thank you Master." Erza respectfully said to Makarov with a slight bow.
"I still don't like the new guild hall." Natsu groaned out. Ignoring Natsu Master Makarov decided to tell them some good news.
"While you were gone Fairy Tail gained four new members, two you already know and one only one of you might remember." Makarov said mysteriously. Next to him, was a bluenette of average height, who was staring obsessively at Gray. "This is one of our newest members, Juvia."
"So, you really did join, Huh?" Gray Inquired.
"Then there is another one of our newer members. Come. Introduce yourself." Makarov stated as he looked off to the side booth.
"Hey, you can't be serious!?" Gray said, astonished at the other member that recently joined, a man of decent muscular size with long, spiked raven hair.
"Gajeel?!" Natsu exclaimed, prepared for a fight.
"What's that bastard doing here?" Gray asked in rage.
"No wait it was Juvia's idea that he should join, he needed the job and he was once Juvia's teammate and Juvia owed him." Juvia pleaded.
Gajeel, Gray, and Natsu continued to stare eachother down until they heard a scream come from Lucy. When they turned to her they saw her freaking out because there was a beetle on her shoulder. After she swatted it off she took a closer look at it and noticed something familiar to it.
"Hey isn't that the same kind of beetle we saw outside?" Lucy stated, and the rest of Team Natsu realized the same thing that Lucy noticed. Before anyone could comment more of the beetles from outside started to appear and Lucy really started to freak out. Natsu tried to burn them but it seemed to have no effect on the beetles. Then entire swarm of beetles started to congeal and started to form into a cloaked silhouette. As the swarm dispersed, a male of average height with ashen hair, pale skin and aviator sunglasses wearing a ripped cloak reaching his shins was visible. While not known, his eyes beneath the glasses are, in fact, crimson.
"That, is another new member, Kaito Murabba." Makarov stated as the albino walked over.
"Hey, how the hell did those bugs not die? Fire kills most insects." Was Natsu's form of greeting.
"Simple. They are of the species Ips invicta, or the common Flame beetle. A species known for its immunity to flames of all kinds, as well as slight pyrokinesis." Kaito lectured the pinkette, with a blackboard behind him with various notes on the species Ips invicta.
"Where did he get the blackboard" Lucy asked no one in particular.
"So who is the final new member Master?" Erza asked Makarov. All Makarov did was smile and point behind them. When they turned around the saw a tall figure ,slightly shorter that Elfman, seemingly walking out of the shadows as if he was part of it. The male had black medium length hair, was wearing a cloak that reached just above his feet. His eyes were blood red, and under the cloak you could see two pouches on either side of his waist and a shotgun hanging from the right side of his waist. On his back he carried a large sword with two holes right above the hilt, but what was strange about the sword was that instead of a normal sword tip the end was wavy and uneven like it was turned into a puddle and solidified while it was like that.(It is the buster sword with a different end to it)
"Hello my name is Dakura. Dakura Scarlet." The man said, and everyone but Kaito was surprised when he said his name, but none were more shocked than Erza who only stared at him in joy and sadness.
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted when they heard who this new person was. Erza just kept staring at her now revealed brother.
