Chapter 1: An unexpected occurrence
"This way!" Erza shouted. The Fairy Queen led her teammates further into the cave. "Mist can't be that far ahead. The team had taken a job to hunt down a thief named Mist that had been stealing precious gems throughout Fiore. She was named for her magic that allowed her to transform into mist in order to get away with her crimes. Natsu, Grey, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, Carla, and Erza tracked her down to a cave and were chasing after her. At last they caught up to the thief.
She had short brown hair and wore a top and shorts that were purple with golden trim. A scar appeared next to her navel and she had bright green eyes.
"We got you now! Natsu chanted. Grey stepped forward. "We don't wanna hurt you. If you come with us quietly-"
"Mist Cloud Blast!" Mist vanished in a explosion of smoke, leaving the entire team gasping and wheezing, except for Erza who was already running toward the the direction the the mist was escaping to.
"You will not escape the hands of justice!" She cried out. Erza knew that Mist's magical energy was almost out from hiding from Fairy Tail all day. In any moment, she would have to revert back to human form. Near the end of the cave, Mist popped back into her true form unwillingly. Erza was already standing before her.
"Now I will give you one more chance. Come with us peacefully or I'll be forced to unleash the wrath of Fairy Tail on you." Erza requiped a sword in her hand. Mist's eyes widened but to Erza's surprise, she smiled.
"So your a requip wizard huh? Perfect." Mist put her hands together as if she were praying. "Hidden Spell of The Crow! Armor Rot!" A black spell rune appeared in front of Mist. Before Erza could react, the spell struck her and knocked her to the ground.
"Erza!" Natsu and the others were heading towards the two female wizards.
"Crap! I'll see you later Requip Wizard." Mist used the last of her magic energy to turn into fog and slip away from the group as the rushed to Erza's side.
"Erza!" Lucy shouted. "Are you okay?"
Erza picked herself up. She felt the wind knocked out of her but was otherwise okay. "Yes I'm fine. I'm afraid Mist got away however."
"It's alright." Natsu assured. "We'll find her. Let's head home for now. Cana will show us where to go next."
"Yeah!" Happy agreed. "I've been meaning to get some fish in my stomach anyway!"
The group began to walk out of the cave with Erza lagging behind.
"Erza." Wendy asked. "Are you sure your okay?"
"I'm fine." Erza snapped. She felt weak as if her energy had been snapped. Unbeknownst to everyone, Erza's armor began to crack.
