S Class Romance
Ohayo reader-chan ! This is my first Fanfiction for Fairy Tail and my first Fanfiction that isn't a one shot so I hope it goes well. I'm not that experienced at writing but I hope you all enjoy this! Please review and I will hopefully update it soon! Also, I forgot to put disclaimers on the other Fanfictions (being new and all) so here is one:
DISCLAIMER: If you think I own Fairy Tail then you're a BAKA! It belongs to Hiro Mashima-sensei and this is my own little adaptation.
Enjoy!
With Ultear gone, Crime Sorciere had been decreased to two people. Despite this, Jellal and Meredy still vowed to repent for their sins by doing good to the world.
"Ne, Jellal," Meredy said, "What will we do now that the games are finished?"
"We have a request from a village called Terramare asking us to get rid of a Kraken."
"What's a Kraken?"
"They are one of the most dangerous sea monsters alive. Treacherous creatures who feed off other beings including humans."
"That sounds horrible. We must help them. People who don't deserve to die are being eaten by this monster every day."
"This request was sent to us because no one had come to their help after sending out loads of requests. They are desperate for help now so we must come to their aid. Why don't we set off tomorrow morning?"
"Hai!" Meredy nodded in agreement, determined to help these people.
It had been a while since Erza last went on an S class mission seeing as she had been trapped on Tenrou Island for 7 years and had participated in the grand magic games. But now with the games out of the way, Erza was able to spend some time earning more money. Because of Fairy Tail's success in the grand magic games, the mission requests were piling in. Erza gazed at the S class mission board.
"WANTED. A Kraken lives in the depths of our ocean near our village, Terramare and everyday many people go missing. We need the strongest wizards to annihilate this terrorizing beast from our land. Reward 10 million Jewels"
"Missing people? This sounds terrible. I wonder how long this request has been here for" Erza thought.
"ERZA, WHAT YA LOOKING AT?"
Erza jumped as a familiar booming voice came from yelled from behind her. Of course, her instant reaction would be to hit them.
*THUMP*
Erza turned around to find Natsu collapsed on the floor with a huge red lump on his head.
"I'm going on an S class mission and this time you are NOT to follow me. That goes for you too, Gray." Erza yelled to the half-naked ice mage, "And go and put some clothes on."
"Aye sir!" Gray yelped.
Natsu rubbed his head as he ascended from the ground. "How much money is it?" He questioned.
"None of your business"
"WOAH, 10 million jewels!" Natsu cried, glancing over Erza's shoulder (bad mistake)
*THUMP*
"I SAID IT WAS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"
"That's a lot of money, Erza-chan." Another familiar voice said. "I wish I was an S class mage. I could do with that kind of money to pay for my rent." Lucy sighed.
"I'm sure you'll become an S class mage one day if you keep trying your best." Erza assured her with a smile.
"Hai!" Lucy Beamed, "Good luck for your S class mission, though you probably won't need it!"
"Thanks Lucy."
On the morning of the next day, Erza arrived early at the train station with her usual mountain of luggage.
She wondered how Crime Sorciere were doing, or more specifically, Jellal. He had told her of their loss, which saddened her, but she told them not to give up on their goal: To remove evil from the world. Ultear wouldn't have wanted them to give up, despite her being gone. That's what her letter had said to them. Erza was glad that Jellal had something to live for now but with Ultear gone, will he continue to pursue their goal? Even though Crime Sorciere had had no leader, Ultear had always lead them but now with her gone, Jellal would have to make most of the decisions as Meredy was still so young.
Erza ascended onto the train, now thinking of the challenges that lay ahead of her. She had never faced a Kraken before but as a child, she had heard of the horrifying stories told about this monster. Terramare was a village that relied mostly on their money from the fish they sold to other parts of the kingdom however if there was a Kraken, their fish stock would be reduced drastically. No wonder they were so desperate for help. On top of that, people are going missing. The Kraken would be the most obvious explanation for this but a Kraken's presence is fairly obvious if Erza were to rely on stories about the size of the monster. The main question was why the Kraken came to their village in the first place.
The train had arrived at a village near Terramare. In order to get to Terramare Erza had to sail across the sea to the village. As Erza descended the train, she began to regret taking so much luggage with her. (Why does she pack so much anyway?!) It would be hard to take this much across sea. She approached a man by the harbour.
"Excuse me Sir, how much do you charge to get across to Terramare?"
The man turned around. He was old and looked lifeless.
"Do you not know of the Kraken that lies in the sea by Terramare?" The old man rasped.
"Of course I do. Why else would I sail to Terramare?"
The old man looked surprised. "You are a brave girl if you think you can defeat the Kraken. Are you must be a mage."
"I am not just any mage. I am from Fiore's strongest guild: Fairy Tail. I am one of their strongest wizards. Do you dare challenge me? Take me across the sea to Terramare or I shall take your boat." Erza threatned.
"It will cost a fair bit, considering you want me to take you to a land where no one dares sail to."
"Name your price."
"500 Jewels."
To the olds man surprise, Erza handed over the money with ease and loaded her luggage onto the boat.
It wasn't dark yet so they could just about see which direction they were sailing in but ahead of them was a cloud of thick mist. However, Erza had the feeling that this wasn't any ordinary mist. Firstly, it was on odd colour. It wasn't the colour of normal mist, which was a translucent white colour. This mist had a blue tint to it and Erza could also smell something repelling.
"STOP" Erza yelled suddenly.
The old man stopped and turned to face Erza.
"What?" He asked.
"Don't you smell anything?" Erza asked. "And doesn't that mist look a strange colour to you?"
"I don't smell a thing. I guess my senses have gone a little."
"I need to try something." Erza said, "REQUIP!" The scarlet mage yelled as she transformed into her sea empress armour.
The old man stared in shock as Erza drew out her sword.
"Wait!" The man hollered. "Don't attack the mist. You don't know if the Kraken lies passed it."
"How else are we supposed to get past it?" Erza stated. "WATER SLASH!" Erza shouted as she sliced her sword into the direction of the mist. Nothing.
"Interesting." Erza thought.
"There's nothing there!" The old man gasped.
"In that case we can carry on rowing into that mist."
The old man obeyed her, not wanting to get on her bad side after he had seen the strength of the requip mage.
In no time, they stood outside a gate that was supposedly the entrance to Terramare.
"Thank you for taking me here." Erza said as she turned around to shake the old man's hand. She stood there in shock as there was no one behind her. She looked around searching for the old man's presence.
"I wonder what happened to him." Erza thought to herself.
A noise came from the top of the gates. Erza glanced up to see a frightened-looking girl.
"Are you also here to save us?" The girl said timidly.
Erza showed her Fairy Tail guild sign. "I am Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. I have come to accept your mission request."
The girl's face lit up. "Open the gates!" She yelled. "Fairy tail have accepted our request."
The gates opened and in front of Erza stood a crowd of people who looked like they had been living in poverty.
"Welcome to Terremare." A woman stepped forwards and welcomed her warmly.
"You asked me if I had also come here to save you. Are there other mages here?" Erza asked.
The crowd parted to reveal two wizards standing next to each other. One, a female mage with pink hair. The other, a male mage with blue hair. Both of them wore matching capes.
"Hello Erza." Jellal smiled.
