Chapter 1
The Frightful Begining


All was quite in the town of Magnolia. Fairy Tail members sat in the guild laughing, talking and fighting as usual. Oracion Seis have just been defeated and Wendy has joined Fairy Tail with Carla. Nothing was out of the ordinary. It was a rather stormy day, with no end to the rain.

"So, Wendy, what do you think of Fairy Tail so far?" Lucy asked her that morning.

Wendy looked up at her smiling. "Everyone's so happy and fun, even though it's raining out."

"Yes, they're always like this."

"I think it's funny."

Natsu suddenly fell onto the table Lucy and Wendy were sitting at, and broke it. "Oy! Grey! Put on some clothes!" He called. Grey in turn looked down and and scrambled to put some pants on.

"Damn you, Natsu!" He yelled back, and they began to fight again.

Lucy and Wendy started laughing.

"Hey, Carla, are you ok?" Wendy asked Carla.

Carla turned her nose up and twitched her tail. "They are acting like idiots." She stated bluntly.

"IF YOUR A MAN THEN TALK WITH YOUR FISTS!" Elfman yelled.

"What if you aren't a man?" Cana called back, throwing a magic card at him.

The guild members continued to fight amongst themselves, and Master Makarov laughed heartily at his guild. It was yet another Fairy Tail day.

Lightening flashed across the sky, followed by thunder and suddenly, the doors to Fairy Tail opened with a loud creak and a bang of the doors against the walls.

The guild stopped their commotion, and looked at the strange visitor who had just appeared. A girl, only about 17, stood in the doorway. She was dripping wet and her black thigh-length dress clung to her skin. Her black hair was pulled into a tight ponytail. Erza stepped forward.

"Who are you?" She demanded.

The girl looked at her. "I am known as... Nightmare" She said. Lightening flashed across the sky.

"Nightmare? Are you a wizard from another guild?" Lucy asked.

She laughed. "I am a wizard, but I belong to no guild."

Natsu forced his way through the crowd. "Are you planning on joining Fairy Tail? You'd have to fight me if you do!"

Grey punched Natsu. "Natsu! Shut up!"

"Put some clothes on Grey!" Natsu yelled back.

Erza looked at them. "Shut up! Both of you!" Then she turned back to Nightmare. "Did you need a place to stay until the rain stops?" She asked.

Nightmare shooked her head. "No... I am merely looking for four people...and I think I just found them..."

Everyone looked with confusion. Master Makarov stepped forward.

"Just who exactly are you looking for?" he asked.

Nightmare smiled. "I am not looking anymore. I found the right people for this job..."

"Right people for the job?" Lucy repeated. "Who?"

Nightmare laughed. "Titania, Erza Scarlet. Salamander, Natsu Dragneel. Celestial Wizard, Lucy Heartfilia. Ice Wizard, Grey Fullbuster. And the flying cat, Happy." She raised her hands and the five yellow magic circles underneath them. "I send you to a very nice nightmare!" Thunder sounded and lightening flashed.

Natsu, Happy, Erza, Lucy, and Grey all suddenly disappeared. Nightmare laughed as the guild began to yell at her and question where she sent them. She then stopped laughing long enough to say goodbye, before her herself disappeared.
