The Grimm Brothers
What happens when the Grimm brothers come to town, twins with the abilities of those people have only heard in fairy tales! Read as Lucy, Natsu and the rest of the Fairy Tail team face the wrath of the Fairy Tale magic users, Grimm Brothers.
(A/N: As an addition to the summery for those NaLu supporters, Watch as Lucy is attacked with a sleeping curse! Additionally, this story relates to just after the Tenrou Island 7 year stasis arc. Obviously my story has some small factors changed from the original series but it fits with the fiction ^_^)
Natsu and the team had just returned from their first mission after being suspended in a 7-year stasis. They had chosen a lower reward mission, of course Natsu had kicked up a fuss about this decision, but the truth was that they were now 7 years behind everyone else and they needed to train and get back into shape. Though they hadn't felt the movement of time, the world had still spun and they were in dire need of training and regaining their skills.
"I told you it would be too easy!" Natsu complained with his arms crossed over his chest as the team walked into the new/grungy Guildhall.
"Yes you did Natsu… But burning the entire field of sheep wasn't what the client asked… Now we've returned with no reward and travelled for nothing…" Lucy sighed.
The Job was to assist the farmer in the harvest of the sheep's wool, to sheer them and collect the wool. Of course Natsu didn't listen properly and just assumed that the sheep were too hot and needed their coats removed…
"Aw come on Luce… I'm sorry you didn't get paid…" Natsu said as Lucy brushed past him clearly pissed off with him.
"Don't bother Natsu, what's done is done" Erza put her hand on his shoulder, be it firmly which caused Natsu to whimper and tense up a bit, Erza was clearly holding a grudge. "We can find another job and head off tomorrow, that way Lucy can make rent and we can train some more" Erza walked to the bar where Lucy had already ordered a drink, Erza followed and ordered her favourite dessert, Strawberry cheese cake.
Natsu slumped his shoulders and head, feeling bad for going overboard but also hoping that his previous opinion, that they don't need to warm up, was proven. Gray stood next to Natsu and sighed "Don't let it get to you flame head, just try not to burn anything else until the next mission okay?" He grumbled and was about to go over to the girls when Natsu grabbed his shoulder. As usual another fight broke out in the guild and left Lucy miserable at the bar.
Erza had joined the fight after her cake was smashed.
"What's wrong Lucy?" Mira asked leaning on other side of the bar and looking at the celestial mages sorrowed expression.
"The mission was a failure thanks to Natsu's impatience and inability to listen…" she sighed and nursed the last bit of her drink. "He said sorry and I forgive him… I understand that it's frustrating having to start from square one after all that time we missed… But still" she finished her drink and lay her head on her arms on the bar. "There was a key as a reward other than the money…" She mumbled, Mira heard her and smiled softly.
"Oh I see" Mira hummed before grabbing something from under the bar and presenting it to Lucy "This might cheer you up though~ it came in the mail this morning" Mira handed the small package to Lucy along with a note.
The note read:
To the Fairy Tail Wizards,
Though your assistance resulted in a loss in profit, I am still grateful for those who helped clean up the mess afterward.
Therefore, I have sent you the additional key as a thank you, I have no use for it and I noticed that one of you possessed celestial magic. This key is useless to me so I reward this key to her as thanks for collecting all the unburnt wool.
Yours Thankfully,
Farmer Milford.
Lucy's eyes widened and she quickly opened the small package to find a silver key! "It's the Key of the wolf! Lupus!" She shouted and raised the key in the air before hugging it to her chest, she thanked Mira, making the latter smile happily in return. Over excited and her mood completely flipped, Lucy jumped off the bar stool and outside of the guild to make a contract with the new spirit.
When she had shouted from the bar in excitement the fight had completely stopped and everyone looked at her, all eyes following her out of the building. "See! I told you it would be fine in the end!" Natsu grinned widely, earning him a punch in the cheek from Gray "Idiot". The fight resumed.
Outside Lucy took her stance and thrust the key in front of her, turning it slightly as she chants "I am linked to the path to the world of Celestial Spirits, now! O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate! Open! Gate of the wolf, Lupus!"
There was a bright golden glow and before her stood a tall well-built man, with black hair that flowed down to his mid-back, pale skin with glowing, yellow slit eyes, and fangs protruding his lips. He wore black, ripped skinny jeans, and a vest top of the same colour, however, there were red jewels pattered along the rim, he also wore black leather DM boots. His fingernails were also black and pointed like claws, finally a black fur tail that was long and thick connected to his lower back.
He knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully "My lady, how may I be of service to someone as fine as you" He spoke with a soft but low tone, his eyes never leaving hers.
Lucy smiled softly and took his hand, having him stand "Please, do not bow, I treat my spirits as equals, you are not lesser than me" She told him to his surprised, he blinked but nodded "Thank you Miss"
"Call me Lucy~"
"Miss Lucy then" He smiled.
"If you wish, I would like to make a contract with you, when are you free and what are you abilities?" she asked, ready to listen.
"I would be happy to make a contract with you my lady, I am free at all times except the day of the full moon" He informed "you can call me during the lunar cycle, however, I have a much powerful form during that time, which could be effective in emergency situations, nonetheless, it would drain you of your magical power" he warned. Lucy took a mental note of that, also thinking that with additional training she could learn to summon his stronger form without an extensive magic depletion.
"I understand, I will keep those details in mind" She smiled before he continued.
"My magical abilities are mostly combat and offensive magic, however, I do possess a merging ability during the lunar cycle" He told her, this merging ability caught her interest, as she had never heard of that kind of magic before.
"Merging ability? I've never heard of this, could you explain further?" she asked politely.
He obliged "Yes Miss Lucy, As I had explained before, this ability would result in major power depletion, unless of course you were to unlock your second origin of power within and train with me" He told her, confirming her earlier thoughts. "The merging power allows my wolf form to merge with your form, giving you all my strength and abilities. So long as I am inside of you and merged with your spirit your magic will not deplete, however, as soon as our spirits separate, the magic and abilities used will create a huge strain on your body" He finished, she took a deep breath, half excited to someday try that out and other half nervous as that is a lot of power.
"I see, thank you for telling me and I will be sure to call on you when I need your assistance" she smiled, he returned the smile softly before disappearing back to the celestial world in a flash of gold light.
Happy with having collected another key and spiritual contract Lucy returned to the guildhall, the fighting had finally seized and everyone was sat around eating, drinking and laughing.
Natsu noticed Lucy come in and ran to her from the request board with paper in hand "Lucy! How did the contract go? Who did you get again? Oh! I found another request mission we can do! It's simple-ish but better than the last one and I promise to be good, so pleaassseeee can we go? I really promise to be good! Oh and I'm sorry for last time, I would have held back if I knew it was the key you were after" he ranted so fast Lucy could barely keep up.
"U-Umm…" Is all she could get out, her expression a mixture of confused and entertained, "Natsu slow down" she giggled softly.
Natsu realised then that he was over-excited and blushed a little in embarrassment before taking a step back and clearing his throat.
"Did you make a new contract?" he first asked with that sweet smile Lucy loved.
"I did, with the spirit of the Wolf, he's called Lupus, a combat spirit mostly" she informed Natsu, who in turn widened his eyes with amazement "Wow". Lucy couldn't help but giggle again, only imagining what was going through Natsu's mind. Though Natsu had a muscular physique and she knew he would grow into a great man, she still loved that there was a childish side to him, this made him pure and determined, not to mention protective, especially toward her lately.
"Natsu" she spoke to get his head out of the clouds "you said you found us a new job? Oh, and I forgive you by the way, I know how frustrating it has been for all of us" she asked and explained.
Accepting but ignoring the latter of Lucy's words, wanting to keep the moment cheery, he answered the question "Yeah! Look~" he passed her the poster. "It's a job in the next town over, apparently there are two wizards from an unknown guild causing trouble and have already put 3 woman in a comatose state" he told her. Lucy's eyes widened, at this point the rest of Team Natsu had joined the conversation "They are all in coma's? But how?" she asked looking at Natsu who shrugged in reply.
"They must have some serious magic to do that… but why all woman?" Gray added to the conversation.
"Let's head out in the morning and find out" Erza added.
Calling it a night, Lucy, Erza and Gray went home to prepare for the next morning, however, Gajeel and Levy called out for Natsu before he could leave.
"What's up?" Natsu asked as he sat at the table opposite the lovebirds, Gajeel was sat with a protective arm around Levy's waist as she was sat next to him. She had a new scar on her lower neck by her shoulder of teeth marks, a bite, and the mark of a silver dragon in the centre that Natsu noticed, he'd never seen it before "Levy what's that?" he asked pointing at it. Levy blushed and Gajeel chuckled.
"That's what we wanted to talk to you about" Gajeel smirked, Levy cleared her throat and glanced at Gajeel before turning back to Natsu, who was blinking in confusion. Natsu quickly put his hands up not wanting to fight Gajeel right now, especially if it involved his mate. "I-I didn't do it!" Natsu defended himself; this caused Levy to laugh and Gajeel to hit Natsu on the head.
"Idiot!..."
"Ow!..." Natsu complained.
"We know you didn't do this, Natsu" Levy giggled before continuing, "We noticed that you have been acting strange lately"
Natsu blinked and tilted his head, clearly confused and unknowing of his latest behaviour "Huh? I don't think I have" he hummed in thought.
Gajeel rolled his eyes "We are talking about your behaviour towards Lucy" he clarified, but Natsu still looked clueless, if not more confused. Gajeel sighed roughly causing Levy to rub his upper arm in comfort before taking over, Levy was more patient then her dragon slayer boyfriend.
"Natsu, Listen to me" she started, "What do you know of Dragon Slayer instincts?" she asked.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Let me know what you think so far in the review section ^_^
I don't think Lucy will be using Lupus in this story but if you'd like I could add their partnership in a different story, same universe but further along the timeline maybe, when she starts training with him hmmm, could be interesting.
I just wanted her to have a new key, I have no idea if he is a real one haha I made it up XD I'm still working my way through the Fairy Tail anime at the mo so bare with me if I get any details wrong (Or just assume I'm making up my own details :P)
I should be uploading fairly regularly as I have a load of free time at the moment and I'm in the mood for writing ^_^
Enjoy and Fav if you want more~ 3
