-Scene Change-

Summary:
When a suspicious mage is spotted around the outskirts of Magnolia at around the same time random civilians start going missing, Fairy Tail gets a mission request to investigate this mysterious person. Lucy being late on her rent decides she needs a relatively simple job to quickly pay off her debts thus she drags Natsu along with her in the hopes of quickly resolving who this mystery mage is.

CH 1:
"Lucy this is sooo boring" groaned Natsu while he was being dragged out of the guild by Lucy with Happy following not too far behind.
"Oh stop whining, you're at my place half the time anyway. I mean seriously this'll take what? An hour at most?" Replied Lucy who knew exactly what his response would be to her question. "You know that's not the problem!" Natsu shot back while freeing himself from Lucy's grip "We could be out there on adventures and fighting strong people, right Happy?"
he boasted while looking at his partner in crime "Aye Sir!"

A long exhausted sigh left Lucy at this point as she clearly had to spell it out for him "My rent is what comes first. Where would you go if I didn't have a place to live…wait that sounds odd for some reason" She suddenly perked up with a devilish smile ready to try and enforce rules that he should never enter her house without permission like he almost always does but before she could get the words out Happy interrupted her with tears streaming down his cheeks. "Waaaaah Natsu she's really putting us first! She just doesn't want us to end up alone on the streets!" Natsu's eyes at this point widened in sudden realization but before this madness carried on any longer Lucy decided to end it and get on with the mission "That's right so shall we go investigate this "mysterious mage" before my place is lost for good" she said as she started walking again in the hopes that she could just get home before dark. "AYE AYE CAPTAIN" barked Natsu and Happy still touched by the thoughts of what Lucy was doing for them.

-Elsewhere in Magnolia-
"It seems they've finally taken the bait, I knew it wouldn't be long" 'It was almost too easy. I can't believe it was this simple let's see if they are even remotely competent.' And with that, a grin that would kill almost all mortal being was beginning to appear on his face as he jumped to the rooftops" This is it Salamander the next thing you'll be eating will be the flames of my wrath!"

-Back with the mages on a mission-

"Ok the sun is starting to set, this is around the time he has been most frequently spotted. I think an Aerial view would work b-" She flinched as Happy and Natsu whooshed past her into the sky. "HEY LUCY!" he yelled down as he couldn't believe his luck. "Found him" he finished in the most nonchalant way. Lucy at this point just assumed he was messing with her "Fine if you're that eager to mess around I'll find him myself." She said in annoyance as she reached for her keys.

"Oh there'll be no need for that. You're just who I've been looking for, Salamander" Lucy fell backwards in shock as she looked up and saw the floating figure of a hooded man giving off an extremely dark aura. I've been kidnapping children and adults alike left and right and it's taken 2 weeks for your guild to finally get to this problem…what is wrong with guilds these days" Natsu grew extremely serious at hearing these words and clenched his fists "What have you done with those people?" the hooded figure simply laughed "Well let's just say they were test experiments for what's about to happen to you" he smirked.

Natsu's fists ignited into glorious flames ready to melt this idiot who would go around harming innocent civilians when suddenly the man started running away. Natsu being Natsu did the only thing he knew how to do charging straight after the man without thinking "GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME" he followed the man around a few buildings and into an alleyway. "Heh nowhere to run now" Natsu smiled victoriously.

The hooded figure suddenly looked up shaking off his hood revealing his black hair and making Natsu hesitate for just a second before he stated the same thing. "You're right, nowhere to run" Just as he finished his sentence runes activated all around Natsu sealing off any hope of escape.

"Oi oi what is this you bastard?" shouted Natsu in an absolute rage.
The black haired man merely adorned an amused smile at Natsu's struggles to even move inside the sealed area "Well you wanted to know what happened to those people didn't you? Well now you'll know better than anyone else" he turned away never liking to watch this last part the way their body warped just didn't sit right in his mind. The ground around Natsu's feet was pitch black and he was starting to sink into nothingness. Until suddenly he was yanked by an extreme pulling force and could barely breath and finally there was…nothingness.

The black haired man looked back at where the runes had been and looked around to make sure there was no evidence of his little endeavour. He closed his eyes briefly "Goodbye b-" was interrupt by an ear piercing scream and turned to see Lucy looking at where Natsu had been in shock. He focused like an animal hunting his prey 'No witnesses' were his thoughts as he dashed at the shocked girl.

-Elsewhere(with Natsu)-

He was awoken by his pretty nasty fall into a forest, luckily though the trees had stopped his fall from being anything more than an aching back and a few scratches. He suddenly remembered what happened and grabbed his head in pain. "Lucy! Happy! He shouted in a panic worrying for his closest friends. Natsu was Enraged, confused too but in every sense of the word Enraged he had no idea where he was or even if his friends survived. 'I have to find my way back soon! I have to tell the others I have to' were his last thoughts as he collapsed and lost consciousness again.
