A girl with long blue hair in plaits was standing in front of the Guild, glaring in a manner that was slightly scary given her diminutive size. A green jacket fitted over a silver tee and black skirt. Gloves hugged her arms, and she had her hands on her hips.
"Big brother is here, I know it!" She shoved the doors, but was unable to open them. Gray was walking up the street and gaped as the girl threw herself at the door, not quite understanding and slightly concerned for her safety.
"Hey! What are you doing?" he shouted, and the girl snorted.
"I'm trying to open the doors." She cracked her knuckles, grinning like a demon. "Stand back." Gray quirked an eyebrow, and magic gathered at the girl's hands, glowing like the fires of Hell.
The doors flew back with a huge boom and a fight appeared to be going on. Lucy had called up Horologium, and Natsu was punching everybody. Erza was in armour and Elfman was fighting too. Gray gaped at the girl, as she stormed into the middle of it, seemingly angry at the idiotic behaviour.
"Where's Big Brother?" she yelled, and everyone stopped to stare at the newcomer. "Big Brother?" they asked, before going back to fighting.
Mirajane gaped at the girl, as she ripped a glove off to reveal a ring.
"Big Brother has until the count of three before I unleash the Soul Vault." Lucy gasped. She'd heard of that!
"My mistress says, The Soul Vault? A girl like you is in possession of such a thing?" Horologium said. She sighed. "I am not just a girl, cretin. I am Valiant!" Shadows swarmed about her and one brought her a doll, which she snatched, chuckling in a very creepy way. Everyone fell silent for a few minutes before angry murmuring sprung up.
"Hey, don't touch that! That's Bickslow's!" Gray shouted. Valiant nodded. "I know."
Bickslow burst forward. "You… you took that!" He looked…
Scared? Why would Bickslow be scared?
Suddenly everything fell into place for Lucy, who sent Horologium away.
"The Soul Vault requires Seidhr magic…"
Valiant nodded, dropping the doll into Bickslow's hand before hugging him, shocking everyone into a state of silence. Bickslow looked more terrified than ever, while his sister glared at Natsu for apparently no reason at all (He didn't notice).
"I know this sounds stupid, but…" Lucy fixed her eyes on Valiant.
"Are you Bickslow's sister?"
Gray's jaw dropped, along with Mirajane's, Elfman's, Natsu's and everyone else's. Bickslow nodded and a faint blush dusted his cheeks, along with a look of abject fear.
"Hey, Mirajane." Valiant smiled at the tall girl, from Bickslow's arms (He was awkwardly returning her hug).
"Can I join Fairy Tail?" She asked as everyone froze in shock.
