The world of Earthland is filled with numerous creatures: Wyverns, Vulcans, Goblins, Hane-Sakura, Giants, Demons, the list goes on. All around the land animals and creatures of various origin and appearance roam this world of magic and wonder. Some of these beasts are friendly, while others cite humans as their favorite meals.

However, for each number of species that have been discovered by man, there just as many creatures who have yet to be found; or in this case remembered by the world.


"Find one yet?"

"Nope. All of these jobs look lame."

Natsu Dragneel and his trusty companion Happy meticulously looked over the job request board at the Fairy Tail guild hall. It was early morning, and aside from their team and barmaid Mirajane Strauss, they were the only ones in the guild.

Natsu and Happy never arrived this early, but after Lucy's insistence that the best jobs were usually gone by the morning they decided to change their routine.

"Hurry up, Natsu." Lucy called from the table. "If you take too long everyone will get here and we won't get anything."

"I'm trying but I can't find anything good." Natsu and Happy perused over the job board. The team had a rotation of who would pick jobs and this week it was their turn.

"You mean you can't find anything that lets you destroy something." Gray snarked.

"Shut up, ice queen."

"What did you say, pyro?!"

"You heard me!"

"Enough!" Erza's shout silenced both Gray and Natsu. "It is too early for your incessant bickering. Natsu, if you can't find a job here then just go to the second floor."

"Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that! Happy, go check would ya?"

"Aye, sir!" the exceed summoned his wings and flew to the second floor. Just then Wendy and Carla walked in.

"Good morning, you two." Mirajane greeted.

"Good morning." the pair returned.

"I'm sorry we're late." Wendy bowed in apology to Lucy and the others.

"We would have been here sooner, but she simply refused to wake up." Carla commented. "I swear the child sleeps like a log when she wants to."

"Carla!"

Lucy giggled. "It's ok, Wendy. You don't have to be embarrassed."

Erza nodded. "Yes. Everyone sleeps in from time to time. Nothing to be ashamed of."

Gray pointed to Natsu with his thumb. "We haven't picked a job yet anyway." He said. "So you don't have to worry so much."

Wendy and Carla sat at the table.

"It's Natsu's turn to pick?" The young dragon slayer asked.

"Yeah, and he's taking forever." Lucy complained.

"It's not his fault." Erza defended. "High-paying jobs have been scarce lately. Even S-Class quests only take at most a full day to complete, with the pay being only what one would receive from a high-paying A-Rank job."

"Not much has been going on since the council reformed." Gray said with a sigh. "They pretty much handle a lot of the stuff we wizards used to."

"I found one!"

Happy swooped down from the second floor to Natsu.

"Really?! Awesome! What's it say?!"

Happy showed the job posting to the dragon slayer, it called for the capture of a group of slave traders near the border of Bosco. The job was ranked S-Class – which meant they needed Erza to accompany them – but with a payout of 10,000,000 Jewel they weren't worried about her refusing.

After showing the job to Mirajane Team Natsu was off.


"How far are we, Erza?" Gray inquired.

"According to the map we should be coming upon Hydrangea within the hour."

One train to Balsam Village and one carriage ride later, Team Natsu were on a hidden forest path to the secluded village of Hydrangea. Located there was an outpost belonging to the Magic Council's Custody Enforcement Division. That is where they would receive the details of their job.

While his friends walked with their usual energy, Natsu faltered behind. He was still shaking off the lingering motion sickness from two back to back vehicle rides.

"Do you want me to cast Troia?" asked a concerned Wendy.

The pinkette waved her off with a smile. "Nah. It probably wouldn't work anyway. I'll be fine in a minute."

Lucy moved a branch out of her way on the path. "I didn't know there were villages this deep in the forest."

"Neither did I." Erza said. "Though this type of area does make an ideal hiding spot for the kind of criminals we're looking for."

"Slave traders. How despicable." Carla sneered.

"Aye. Those kind of people are the worst." Happy agreed.

"As abhorrent as it is, slave labor is a perfectly legal practice within Bosco. There is nothing we can do about that country's politics. But we are not in Bosco now, and as such I agree that their actions are wholly unforgivable."

It was surprising how level-headed Erza was being. She knew full well what it was like to be put into slavery. No one would have blamed her if she was just the tiniest bit angry; but she wasn't. She was as calm as she ever was.

"I can see something in the distance."

Gray pointed through the tree line. There appeared to be a few houses made of stone and wood over the horizon.

"That must be the village." Lucy surmised.

"Well what are we waiting for?!" Natsu shouted, completely revitalized. "Let's get this job started! Come on, Happy!"

"Aye sir!"

The two raced to the village.

"Wait you two!" Lucy called.

"Too late. They're long gone." Carla said.

Gray rolled his eyes. "Those idiots."

Erza sighed. "Let's catch them before they frighten the locals." When the group caught up to their companions, Erza gave Natsu a swift punch to the back of his head.

"What's the big idea, Erza?!"

"That's for running off on your own again. How many times must we go over this?"

Happy snickered at his friend but soon found himself on the receiving end of a smack from Carla as well.

"You're not off the hook either, tomcat." She scolded.

"Ow." Happy whined.

"Excuse me." Lucy called to a young woman walking through the village with a basket in hand. "I'm sorry to bother you, but we're looking for the Council outpost station. Do you know where we can find it?"

"Of course. It's that way." The woman pointed towards a small shack near the edge of the village. "There's a sign out front so you can't miss it."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's not often we get wizards coming through here. Good luck on your mission." With that the young woman went about her way.

"Come along. We're losing daylight." Erza said. She led the way to the the outpost building. The sign in front read: "Magic Council Law Enforcement Outpost. Officer on duty: Jacobi Hennigway."

"Place is way smaller up close." Gray said.

"Let's go in." Natsu placed his foot on the first step leading to the door before being suddenly pulled back by Erza.

"Not so fast, Natsu. We need to approach with decorum. This is Council property after all." She placed the dragon slayer behind her and walked up the stairs. She delicately knocked on the dry wooden door. "Hello?"

"Come on in. Door's open." A raspy voice answered from the other side.

Team Natsu entered the shack. It reeked of cigar smoke and alcohol. Before them was a desk with a mountain of papers stacked on top. Across from that was a wooden coat stand with the jackets on the floor around it. In the back of the room was a table along with a small kitchen area that had dishes piling up in the sink.

"This place is a mess." Carla said. She closed her nostrils with her paw to block out the offending smells.

"Yeah. It's worse than Natsu's." Lucy commented.

"That it is." Erza nodded. "I didn't think such a thing was possible."

"Hey!" Natsu and Happy shouted in offense.

Walking out from a doorway to the left was a man with dark green hair. Short stubble gave his face a rugged look as the smoke rose from the cigarette in his mouth. The group could see the set in food stains on his tank top as well as the holes in his jeans as he walked to kitchen. He poured some coffee into a mug.

"Be right witcha. Sit wherever ya like." He placed the coffee pot back on the table and walked back into the room, all without looking at his guests. "Help yaselves to some coffee. Mugs in the cabinet."

"I think we'll pass." Lucy politely declined.

The wizards searched the mess for somewhere to sit. After about a minute or so they discovered a couch buried under a pile of log books and charts. Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla sat there while Natsu, Erza, and Gray chose to sit at the kitchen table.

"I didn't think a council officer would be so messy." Wendy whispered.

"Aye." Happy nodded.

"Let this be a lesson, Wendy." Carla said. "This could very well be you if you aren't careful." Wendy blushed in embarrassment. Sure she had a tendency to leave the odd mess here and there, but she wasn't this bad…at least she didn't think she was.

"I doubt anyone gets this messy." Lucy said. "...Well maybe Natsu."

The dragon slayer's ears perked up.

After a few more minutes of waiting the man returned. He had changed his dirty shirt to a black one and wore a jacket the council's insignia over it. His ripped jeans still remained, but now he also sported a brown cowboy hat. He ashed his cigarette in the tray on the table before sitting down in front of Erza. Without warning he grabbed her hand.

"So what can I do for a fine lady like yourself this morning?" his half-lidded eyes and sly smile immediately rubbed the redhead - as well as her friends - the wrong way. Her natural instinct told her to knock him unconscious where he sat, but he was still a council member. She would have to hold back for now.

"It's late afternoon." Lucy corrected.

The man looked over to her and Wendy. "My apologies I didn't see you two over there. I promised my Mama raised a gentleman." He tipped his hat to Lucy and Wendy with the same smile he showed Erza.

"It's not a problem." Lucy waved off. Great. He's one of those guys.

"What about us?" Natsu interjected.

The man looked to the dragon slayer and Gray. After about a second or two his attention returned to Erza without saying a word.

"Hey, you jerk!" Natsu shouted.

"Don't ignore us!" Gray yelled.

"So what did you say you needed, ma'am?"

Erza squeezed his hand just enough that he could feel his bone's crack.

"Oh!" he quickly snatched his hand away and rubbed it. "That's quite a grip ya got there."

"So I've been told." The redhead smiled sweetly. "We've come here about the job you requested."

"A course!" the man realized. He smacked his forehead with his palm. "I've been a dang fool!" the man rushed over to the desk and began scavenging through the papers. Soon enough he found the one he was looking for. "Let's see here. Fairy Tail wizards: Erza Scarlet, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Wendy Marvell, Gray Fullbuster, Carla, and Happy. Right?"

"That's correct." The redhead nodded.

"Wait…Erza Scarlet..." the man's eyes widened when he read the name again. "You're 'Titania' Erza?!"

Erza nodded again. "I am."

"I knew you looked familiar! Like a scarlet angel descended from tha heavens." He grabbed Erza by the hand once more, this time kneeling down in front of her. "Your pictures don't do you justice. Name's Jacobi Hennigway, but y'all can call me Jake."

Gray quickly broke their contact. "Back off, buddy."

"My apologies. I didn't know she was spoken for. Far be it from me to break up a man and his lady."

"It's not like that." Erza quickly stated.

"Oh it's not? Then perhaps you and I could get a bite some time. I know this great little spot-"

Lucy cleared her throat.

"Don't worry, darling, there's more than enough room for you as well. Council pays pretty well. We can even take the little lady if you-"

"That's not what I meant!"

"We'd like to start the job now if possible." Erza said. Her patience was nearing it's end.

"Right. Right. Let's get down ta business. Just move this stuff offa here real quick." Jake pushed away the clutter on the table, revealing a detailed layout with maps, pictures, and other information about the job. The Fairy Tail wizards all gathered around the table.

"As the job postin no doubt told ya, we're dealing with some slave traders, but these guys ain't rank amateurs. They call themselves 'Shadow Gift'. Fancy themselves entrepreneurs. Council's been trying to take them down for months, but they know this area like the back of their hand so they always managed to get away. They're some slippery bastards."

"Why can't you just arrest them once they cross the border?" Lucy asked.

"Slavery's legal in Bosco." Jake said. "And since it's out of the Fiore branch's jurisdiction we can't follow them either. Too much bureaucratic red tape."

"So what do you propose we do?" Erza asked.

"Well it took some time, but I finally found their hideout." Jake pointed to a big red dot on the map a little ways northeast of Hydrangea. "It's a couple hours hike from the village. I say we hit'em when they least expect it and save the hostages before they have a chance to transport them."

Natsu slammed a fire fist into his palm. "Sounds like a plan to me."

"When do we leave?" Gray asked.

"Within the hour. From what I gathered they won't be moving their cargo until nightfall. That should give us enough time to find a spot to hide and take'em by surprise."

"Agreed." Erza nodded. "We'll start getting ready."


"All this waiting is so boring!" Natsu groaned.

"Will you be quiet?!" Lucy hissed. "We're supposed to be waiting for a surprise attack. If you keep making noise they'll find us!"

"You're just as loud." Happy deapanned.

"Shut it, cat."

"He's right! All this waiting sucks!" Jake grumbled. He was currently lying on his back, flipping through the latest issue of Sorcerer Weekly. The centerfold was Mirajane.

"This stakeout was your idea!" Carla reminded the council officer. "The least you could do is pay attention!"

"I guess you're right." He closed the magazine then looked over to Lucy. "You got a boyfriend?"

The blonde blushed.

"That is not what I meant by 'paying attention'!" Carla shouted.

"T-that's none of your business." Lucy answered nervously.

"So a girlfriend then." Jake surmised. "Hey, I don't judge. Love is love." he shrugged.

"I don't have a girlfriend either!"

"So you're single?"

"Yeah. She's been single forever." Happy snickered. Lucy silenced him with a Lucy kick into a nearby tree.

Jake rolled over to Wendy. "What about you, little darlin? Got yourself a boyfriend?"

Wendy blushed just as Lucy had, luckily for her Carla interjected.

"Of course not! Wendy is much too young to be dating some slovenly boy!"

"Good mentality to have." Jake replied. "Take from me, little lady. Boys are nothin' but trouble. You're best stayin away from em."

Is that supposed to be advice? Lucy thought confused.

"I'd refer you to my friend kettle, but I feel like you've already met." Carla said to the council officer.

Wendy looked to Natsu. He yawned loudly, not really paying attention to what was going on around him. When their eyes met she blushed and looked away, confusing him. Some boys were the good kind of trouble.

The lair of Shadow Gift was much more fortified than the group anticipated. Posted all over the compound were guards armed with some sort of magical weapon.

"They really don't want anyone snooping around." Gray noted.

"Clearly." Erza said. "Are there any wizards among their number?"

"Not from our reports." Jake answered. "But they have a whole stockpile of weapons to ward off anyone who comes their way."

"Well they haven't met us yet." Natsu grinned.

"What do we do?" Wendy asked. "If they see us coming there's no telling what they'll do to the people inside."

"We need some way to get close without them spotting us." Gray said. "If we wait too long they'll start moving out and we'll lose them in the woods."

"I think I have an idea." Lucy pulled out Virgo's key and pressed it against her shoulder. When she turned it her body started to glow gold. When the light faded she was in a maid's outfit. Jake's mouth hung open at the sight, Lucy ignored him. "I can make us a path into the fortress."

"Good thinking, Lucy." Erza praised. "Do it."

"Ok." Lucy used Virgo's Star Dress power to create a hole in the ground. When she jumped in, the others followed. They bypassed the guards outside and were soon sitting under the hideout. "I think we're here."

"Take us up." Erza said. "We'll rescue the captives then deal with the others."

"Right." When Lucy created a hole above them and everyone poked out their heads to see where they were. To their surprise they were in the hideout, but not near the holding cells. Instead they were right in the middle of the hideout's main lounging area. Once more they were surrounded on all sides by the members of Shadow Gift. Even the guards outside came rushing in.

"This doesn't look like the holding cells." Gray said facetiously.

"Nice going, Lucy." Natsu said flatly.

"Aye." Happy agreed.

"You three try digging underground and see how good your sense of direction is!"

"Wait a minute!" One of the thieves pointed at Jake. "Isn't that guy that drunken, womanizing, council officer?!"

"Howdy, fellas." Jake greeted with a tip of his hat. "You wouldn't happen to be holding about fifty or so missing girls around here would ya? Also I'm not drunk right now...just tipsy."

"Hennigway." A booming voice separated the group of slave traders down the middle. A large man with an even larger gut and balding black hair approached the intruders with a evil smirk on his face. "Thought I told you last time that we don't like council officers snooping around here."

"Hey there, Dunlap." Jake waved with a smile. "Was wonderin where you were. You know me, just can't help saying hi to old friends. We had loads a fun last time."

"Normally I'd amuse myself by beating the snot out of you, but you caught me in a good mood today. The boys and I just found ourselves the score of a lifetime."

"Lucky you."

"Who is that?" Happy whispered to Carla.

"If one had to guess I'd say he's the leader of these degenerates." the tabby answered.

"I'm feeling generous today, Henningway, so hows about I cut you a deal?" Dunlap said. "Leave the girls behind and I'll let you go with the use of your legs this time." He focused his gaze on squarely on Wendy, sending an eerie chill down the young girl's spine.

"That's mighty generous of ya, Dunlap, but I'm afraid I can't do that. Girls ain't my property to just give away, but I do got a counteroffer for ya. How about you let the girls you got locked up here go and you won't spend the rest of your life in cell?"

Dunlap threw back his head and laughed. "That's what I like about you, Hennigway. You never stop making me laugh."

"My momma did always tell me that comedy was a good icebreaker."

"She did? Well you can tell her how well that worked when I send you back to her in a box. Get'em boys, but don't hurt the women. They'll fetch a good price."

The slave traders started to advance on the group.

Wendy fretted. "I don't wanna be a slave."

"There's only one thing to do." Gray started.

"Natsu, now!" Erza shouted.

The dragon slayer focused his energy and his flames exploded outward knocking back all of the slave traders as well as freeing him and his friends from the hole.

"Damn it!" Dunlap yelled. "He brought wizards with him!"

"Not just any wizards, ya big hog!" Jake boasted. "I brought the best of tha best: Fairy Tail wizards!"

"Fairy Tail?!" the slaver traders all shouted in alarm.

"Find the hostages." Erza ordered Lucy. "We'll take care of this lot."

"Ok." Lucy nodded. She took off with Wendy, Carla, and Happy in tow.

"Stop them!" Dunlap ordered his men. "Don't let them free the cargo!"

The bandits ran after Lucy's group but were quickly blocked by a wall of ice courtesy of Gray.

"You guys aren't going anywhere." He said.

"You certainly aren't." Erza stepped forward, requipping into her Wingblade Armor. "You are about to experience first-hand what it feels like to be helpless. How it feels to have your freedom ripped away from you. Be sure to remember the lesson thoroughly."

Natsu and Gray flanked her the former igniting his fists while the latter showed his devil slayer tattoo. Dunlap and his men staggered back, a few tripping and falling over the tables in the dining hall. Jake watched from behind the angry Fairy Tail wizards with a smile.

"Should have taken the deal, Dunlap." he said. "You boys are in for it now."


The last of the freed prisoners filed out of the hideout with a grateful smile on their face. When Jake finished talking to them he returned to the Fairy Tail wizards.

"There all done." He said.

"What did you do?" Lucy accused. "Please tell me you didn't hit on any of them."

"A course not…well maybe a couple, but also got their information so we can send them back where they belong. Thanks to y'all these girls will be able to return home and resume their normal lives in time for supper."

"We're glad we could help." Wendy smiled.

"Yeah. All in a day's work." Lucy said proudly.

"Aye." Happy chirped.

"It feels good to have done some good in the world." Carla beamed.

"Yes it does." Erza nodded. "That is one more group of criminals off the streets. Isn't that right?" She stepped on the handcuffed Dunlap's back. He and the rest of his guild were all tied up awaiting for the council to get them. They also had various bruises, bumps, cuts, and burns on their bodies from the battle.

"Yes!" the man cried. "I promise we won't do it again!"

"Yeah! We won't!" the other slave traders echoed.

"Are we ready to go?" Gray asked.

"Yeah we should...wait, where's Natsu?" Lucy asked.

The group looked around for the missing dragon slayer. None remembered seeing him exit the fortress along with them.

"Did he get lost?" Wendy asked.

Gray facepalmed. "Only that idiot would get lost when there is only one exit. He probably locked himself inside one of the cells."

"We must find him." Erza ordered.


Natsu walked through the dark, damp hallways of Shadow Gift's fortress. After Lucy and the others freed the prisoners, Natsu heard a call for help. It was so faint that even his own enhanced ears were barely able to catch it. Without telling his friends he followed the noise, arriving at a door at the end of the dank cell hall. Unlike the other doors in the hall, this one was completely blocked off by a number of chains and locks. Natsu was struck curious by the scratches on the wood of the door.

Just what was so bad that even the slave traders blocked it off? He thought. Maybe it's some really strong wizard or something.

"Hello?" A sweet voice called from the other side of the door. "Is someone out there? Hello?"

"Yeah. I'm here." Natsu answered somewhat automatically. Whoever this girl was she sounded frightened. "Are you ok?"

"Yes I'm fine." The girl answered. "I heard a lot of yelling and loud noises earlier. What happened?"

"My friends and I beat up the bad guys and freed the other girls. I guess they forgot about you all the way back here."

"Really?!" the girl's voice sounded much more joyful now. "That's great! I was hoping someone would come save us! If you don't mind could you tell me your name?"

"Name's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel."

"Natsu." the girl repeated, burning the name into her memory. "Thank you, Natsu. My name is Miia by the way."

"Nice to meetcha, Miia. Just hang on and I'll bust you out. Stand back from the door."

"Ok."

Natsu could hear Miia moving away from the door, but she didn't sound like she was walking. In fact it sounded like...slithering. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and pulled back his fist. "You away from the door?"

"Yes, but what are you going to do? There's a lot of chains blocking the door. Do you have a key?"

Natsu grinned confidently. "I don't need no stinkin key. I'm a wizard!"

"Really? Wow." Miia's tone brightened again. "I've never met a real wizard before."

"Here goes!" Natsu's fist ignited.

FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST

He broke through the chains with ease and the door exploded off its hinges. "There you are." he smiled. "You're free now."

"Thank you so much!"

"No problem. Now let's go meet with the-"

Miia tackled Natsu to the floor.

"Ow..." Natsu groaned. "You're heavier than I thought."

Miia sat up and crossed her arms in displeasure. "How rude. I'll have you know that I'm one of the lightest girls in my tribe." she pouted.

"You're tribe?" Natsu questioned. "What do you..." he trailed off when he looked over Miia's body. His eyes went wide. "Whoa."

Just then Erza of the others came running into the hall. "Natsu!" the redhead called. "What happened?! We heard an explosion and-"

The group halted as soon as they reached Natsu. He was still lying on the ground, but it wasn't him they were looking at. Rather the girl on top of him. Miia was a beautiful girl with long red hair a couple of shades lighter than Erza's, bright amber eyes, and a slim yet well-endowed upper body – which was barely covered by an ornate bikini top. Her ears were red and pointed outward, and she also had what appeared to be scales on the sides of her face.

Even with all of that, the sight that truly gave all of the Fairy Tail wizard's pause was Miia's long snake tail.


New Crossover! I've been waiting to post this one for a while but I wanted to wait until the reviews on the server were fixed. I've been really into the Monster Musume series as of late so I thought it would be nice to do a crossover with Fairy Tail (honestly because these crossovers seem to be doing well for me and I figured a magical world like Earthland would be perfect to fit the MonMusu girls in). Also this is the first crossover of these two series on this site I believe! Call me a forward thinker, but I'm surprised no one had done this sooner.

Since I have a lot on my plate I won't be updating this super frequently, but I'll get into it when the inspiration strikes me every now and again.

As always leave a comment/review letting me know what you think. Thanks for reading! :)
