Chapter 1
A/N: I promise you, this won't get in the way with my other Jerza fanfic. Rewatching the Edolas arc from Fairy Tail inspired me to create this 'project'. I'll only continue this fanfiction once I'm finished with the previous one, or if I have some extra time on my hands.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL- IT BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA!
Erza Scarlet. This name spread fear throughout all of Fiore. This S-class knight of the Fairy Tail Conglomerate had never failed a mission before, and no one dared to step of line in her unit. It was quite easy to remember her; scarlet hair, her pride and joy. Her chocolate brown eyes were enough to drive one mad. Many men have tried to seek her out several times, but the scarlet-haired woman turned them all down.
And why was this? It was simple; love would just get in the way of her work!
Erza was busy training one day when Master Makarov stepped inside and coughed to get her attention.
"Master." Erza kneeled down onto one knee with her sword piercing the ground.
"Erza," Master Makarov chuckled. "Stand up. We cannot afford paying another round of reparations due to your unintentional hole-making."
"M-my apologies..." Erza began to stand, her posture straightening.
Makarov stared at her in amusement. She was feared by all, yet she was so formal and polite towards him. It almost made him turn a blind eye to her actions on the front lines.
"King Faust has summoned you and your unit to the Royal City. This is a must."
"What for?"
"He didn't say," Makarov sighed. "I suppose you'll find out when you get there."
"I guess I'll summon the troops in my party..." Erza mumbled.
This was the first time King Faust has ever summoned Erza and her crew. It was surprising how he would call them forth to his palace; especially for her unit's infamous reputation of destroying things. What could she say? After all, there is nothing she could do about it; breaking things was their specialty; nothing could change that.
Makarov sighed, as if he could read Erza's thoughts. "I just hope your unit doesn't break anything..."
Erza smiled. "I assure you, we're going to a palace; there is no way I'm allowing them to go all out if there isn't trouble, or else."
...
Erza stepped out of the room with Makarov tailing her. The manor's hall was filled with knights celebrating from their previous mission. Natsu, a knight specialized in flame weaponry was clashing with Gray, who was specialized with ice, on one of the tabletops. Juvia cheered him on as Gray removed his clothes to brawl with the flame knight.
"You want a piece of me, flame brain?"
"Bring it on, ice princess!"
"Gray, your clothes!"
"Shit, I did it again!"
"Taking off your clothes is manly!"
"SHUT UP!" Natsu and Gray punched Elfman out of the way and immediately began to bicker over something new.
"What the hell, slanty eyes; don't get in my way!"
"Hey squinty eyes, I took him out first!"
The two knights were sprawled onto the ground, each trying to pin the other down in their melee.
"Enough!" Erza roared at them. They quickly pulled apart and bowed to their captain. "A-aye..."
"Natsu, please gather everyone in our unit. I have an announcement to make..."
"Geez," Natsu rubbed his head in pain. "Can't you just do it yourself?"
"I thought I just heard something; was it my imagination?"
"No ma'am!" Natsu saluted to her and ran off to retrieve his party members.
...
"...and so, we're heading to the royal city tomorrow. We're going by carriage." Erza noticed a glint of contempt in Natsu's eyes. "Natsu, you better behave, or I'll just have to teach you." She cracked her knuckles and gave him a menacing look.
"Y-yes..."
...
"Good luck on your mission!" Mirajane called as she smiled and waved at Erza's group.
"Be sure not to break anything!" Makarov roared. "One scratch and you're all in for a rough ride!"
Lucy laughed. "Too bad transportation is enough to put Natsu in his place..."
"I heard that, Lucy!"
Gray smirked. "What a hopeless, pea-brained dragon..."
Lucy shrugged and sighed. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm dating him..."
As the trio rambled in their argument, Wendy skipped alongside Erza and gave her a questioning look.
"Erza-san, is there something wrong?"
"No," Erza looked down at the girl who managed to warm her heart. "Just thinking about why the king would summon us..."
The rest of her thoughts were interrupted by white foam ejecting from Natsu's mouth.
A/N: Thanks for reading. I'll be writing more soon! :)
