Chapter One: A Job Hidden For 14 Years
"Oi! Lucy!" yelled the Fire Dragon Slayer. "Check this out!"
The Celestial Mage navigated her way through the mess of books to Natsu. "What is it?"
Natsu held up a faded, folded paper. "It looks like a Job! An old one!"
Lucy snatched the flier away and read its contents. Her eyes widened and she grabbed Natsu shoving the flier to his face.
Help!
Send your best to Astraea Caves and retrieve the Dragon's Treasure. I request that you use caution. The Dragon's Treasure is volatile and dangerous. One wrong move and the Earth shall shallow you. If you find the Treasure, take care of her. Your reward shall be information of the rare creatures known as Dragons.
The date this request is made is July 6, X777. Please fulfill this Job before July 7, X792.
"Dragon's Treasure?" Natsu whispered. "Ah! This must be from a Dragon! If we complete this, the person who made it might tell me about Igneel."
Lucy sighed. "Natsu, this request is 14 years old. No way Master will let you take this on. Only powerful S-Class mages can do it."
Natsu's signature I have a plan smile crept across his face, causing Lucy to shiver. "Let's go!" he shouted as he raced out of there.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Mira! We'd like to take this quest please," Natsu said, showing the Job request to her. Erza, Gray, Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Panther Lily, Happy, and Lucy gathered around the pink haired Mage.
Mirajane's eyes whitened out. "MASTER!"
Master Makarov hopped up on the bar counter and read the request. "So, you all want to go on this Job, right?" he said. Makarov eyed the Dragon Slayers. "And I assume it's because of the Dragon's Treasure of Astraea Caves. Natsu, do you think you'll get the answers you seek if you take on this request?"
Natsu stared his guild master down. "Yes."
Makarov turned around to Mirajane. "Ahahahaha! Well then, you better get going!"
Team Natsu cheered. "Yosh! Let's go!" Natsu ordered.
"Aye, sir!"
"How much farther is the Astraea Caves? she asks," Horologium said.
"Really, Lucy? It's not so bad out here!" Happy commented with a loop in the sky.
Lucy glared at the flying blue cat through the glass, raving mad. "Shut up, you stupid cat or I'll toss all the fish I brought to the wild animals! she says."
"Wah! Natsu! Lucy is scary!"
Erza stopped suddenly, causing the group to collide with one another. "This is it."
Gajeel glared at the entrance. "I sense strange magic in there."
"Yes, it feels old and powerful." Erza observed.
The team entered the cave, the dark engulfing them.
"So dark!" cried Wendy.
The group trudged on further and further in to the cave. The earthy smell of an unknown magic filled their noses, getting stronger with each step. A glow blazed up ahead.
"That must be it!" Gray said, running up to the light. He gasped and stopped as he reached the light.
"What is it?" Carla asked, flying up to Gray, the rest of them right behind.
The collective gasps echoed off the cave walls as they stared at a figure trapped in glass. "A girl?" they exclaimed.
Airi: Huzzah for Fairy Tail! Best manga/anime ever!
Viola: Really now? Why haven't you updated me since August?
Airi: This is new... My characters are talking back...
Viola(scary mode): Answer the question!
Airi(caught in a corner with Viola holding a broomstick): Gihee! Would you believe me if I said Senior Year?
Viola: Senior Year?
Airi(sweat drops): I had to pass and my computer got wonky causing me to lose everything... I just recently got an iPad... I should update you soon, Viola!
*Viola leaves in a huff, slamming the door of her VATASS.*
Airi: *sigh* She's gone! Who knew Time Ladies could hold a grudge.
*A mysterious girl enters with Kagome.*
Kagome: Why have you deleted my story? Don't you care for me any more?
Airi: *heartless smirk* I decided to drop you, Shippo, and the Inu-gang. Frankly, I lost interest. I'm a Gemini. It happens.
*Kagome runs off muttering something about Shippo, authors, and voodoo dolls*
Mystery Girl: You know, Airi-chan, you could be a bit more sensitive.
Airi: Why would I do that? *Just realized something important* HEY! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE OUT YET! GET BACK INTO CHAPTER TWO! BACK I SAY!
Mystery Girl: But... Airi-chan... I want to do the disclaimer!
Airi: Oh all right!
Mystery Girl: Airi-chan doesn't own Fairy Tail, Doctor Who, or InuYasha. Only me, Viola, and Sarah. Hey, where is Sarah?
Airi: Back on the VATASS with Viola and co.
Mystery Girl: Oh.
Airi and Mystery Girl: UNTIL NEXT TIME!
