Chapter 1 - A new Fairy Tail Member?

In the kingdom of Fiore wizards strive to join guilds to learn and perfect their magical prowess and their is no more famous and infamous guild than Fairy Tail. This is where a young wizard strives to join and be apart of the guild he has hoped to join since he was a small boy. He has traveled far and wide to find the legendary guild and here he stands on the edge of his dream. He stands in front of the large guild hall that waves the flag of Fairy Tail.

"So this is Fairy Tail..I finally made it.." The young wizard says to himself.

He takes a deep breath and walks into the guild hall to find the members all drinking and being as restless as the stories say. He looks around the hall hoping to find someone to talk to but, he is brought out of his thoughts by a flying table. He panics and immediately moves out of the way sliding under the table dodging it. He looks to see two wizards are fighting he noticed a pink haired guy yelling at another who..has no clothes..okay? He stood up and before he could say anything a chair nearly hits him if it wasn't for the fact he ducked. Okay he needs to hide or else he's gonna die before he can even join anything. So he crawls over to what he believes is a bar and sits in a stool before faceplanting on the bar's counter.

"Hey are you okay?" A voice asks.

He looks to see a young blonde girl sitting next to him. "Yeah..I was wanting to know if this is Fairy Tail?"

"Yeah this is Fairy Tail. I'm Lucy it's nice to meet you." Lucy says politely.

"Nice meeting you Lucy the names Ray Grant." He says shaking her hand.

Ray is about seventeen years old, his clothes consist of a black scarf around his neck, a white shirt, with a black long sleeve jacket, black pants and, black boots. His hair is short and wavy and a little spiky in it and is a light cyan with matching eyes. His skin was fair but, not so tanned and he was surprisingly to Lucy around Natsu's height.

"Hello there." Another voice says causing both to look at a female with long white hair. "What brings you here?" She asks.

"Oh hi I was wondering if the grand master is here." Ray asked.

"Oh yes the master should be in his office. I can go get him if you'd like." She said smiling.

"That would be great." Ray said smiling.

"Alright I'll be right back." She said walking off.

"That's Mirajane." Lucy said.

"Oh that's Mirajane. Cool." Ray said.

"If you want I can tell you about everyone else." Lucy said.

"Sure." Ray sid smiling.

Lucy got up and Ray followed and she introduced him to the other members and he found most of them to be pretty nice. While some were really strange but, it didn't bug him to much and she got to the two who were still arguing.

"That's Natsu and Gray. Don't worry they do this a lot." Lucy said trying to warn Ray about it.

"Is it always so destructive?" Ray asked watching the two.

"Not usually." Lucy said.

Natsu and Gray both stopped arguing for a minute to notice Ray standing there with Lucy.

"Hey Lucy who's this?" Natsu asked.

"The names Ray nice to meet ya." Ray said giving a wave.

"Hey what's up. I'm Gray. And this idiot is Natsu." Gray said motioning to Natsu.

"Hey who you calling it an idiot! You wanna fight Gray!?" Natsu retorted getting angry.

"Oh yeah bring it on!" Gray said both getting in each others faces.

Ray felt his heart drop into his stomach as the two looked like they are gonna tear each other apart and felt nervous. That's when all hell broke lose and the guild went into all out chaos Ray and Lucy both ran for cover under a table. Chairs, tables, alcohol were all being tossed around as everyone in the hall was about to use their magic.

"Well..I made it here and now I am about to die.." Ray said scared.

"I didn't even get to join yet.." Lucy whined.

"Hey Lucy if we survive you want to team up.." Ray said looking for any hope.

"Yeah sure.." Lucy said as she was doing the same.

That is when a massive whatever appeared. "Will all of you stop bickering like children!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks as silence filled the the guild hall and Ray looked up at whoever stopped the madness. Ray and Lucy came out of hiding relieved that they weren't gonna die unless this massive being kills them itself.

"Oh there you are Master." Mirajane said smiling.

"WAIT THIS GUYS THE MASTER!?" Ray said in a panick.

Natsu started gloating that he won this scuffle only to be squashed by the massive monster standing before everyone.

"Seems we have two new recruits." The massive being said noticing Ray and Lucy next to Mirajane.

"Yes sir!" Ray and Lucy said in unison.

The massive being soon just..shrank down and now a small old man stood in front of them. "Nice to meet you two." He said waving with a smile.

"He's in charge around here.." Ray said as he hung his head.

"Of course he is. This is Fairy Tail Guild Master Makarov." Mirajane said in her cheery voice.

Makarov jumped up onto a railing high above to address the guild members. He held out a stack of complaints from the council and seemed angry. Ray trembled thinking the guy in charge of Fairy Tail could obliterate him with his finger.

"But, I say to heck with the council." Makarov caused the papers to burst into flame and tossed them over the edge. Natsu was first to react leaping up and eating the scorching fire. Makarov gave the members a rather awesome speech about not worrying about the council and how to let their magic flow and grow. "Because, that's what makes fairy tail number one!" He said raising his finger with his thumb out.

All the other member cheered and did the samething and Ray felt like Fairy Tail might just workout after all. Lucy was called over by Mirajane and was going to receive the official Fairy Tail stamp while Makarov asked Ray to speak with him. Ray followed Makarov to his office wondering what he wanted to speak with him about.

"So I hear you were sent here to Fairy Tail?" Makarov says turning around to look at Ray.

"How'd ya know?" Ray asked.

"Most people don't just stumble in here. And from what I can tell you're not from around here." Makarov said looking at Ray.

"You're right I'm not." Ray said being honest.

"So who sent you here?" Makarov asked taking a drink from his mug.

"Well Mavis was the one who sent me." Ray said rubbing the back of his head.

Makarov spit out his drink in shock and looked at Ray. "Mavis sent you?!"

"Yeah." Ray said.

"So it must be important if she sent you here." Makarov said pondering. "Well. How would you like to join Fairy Tail?" Makarov asked looking at Ray.

"Yes please!" Ray said in excitement.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Makarov said with a smile.

After walking downstairs Mirajane was ready to give Ray the stamp and seen where Lucy got her's and got his mark on his left hand. Once he got the mark he walked over to Lucy and held his left hand up.

"Hey Lucy check it out." Ray said smiling.

"Oh hey you joined too." Lucy said smiling.

"Yeah. And since we are gonna be a team I thought I should get it on my left hand." Ray said.

"So Ray what brought you here to Fairy Tail?" Lucy asked.

"Well I heard so much about Fairy Tail and I wanted to see if I could join." Ray said.

"Really?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah I wanted to join it because, I wanted to be apart of the number one guild in Fiore." Ray said.

Ray asked Mirajane if he could have a drink and she agreed happily getting him one.

"So what kind of magic do you use Lucy?" Ray asked taking a drink.

"Oh I use Celestial magic." Lucy said proudly. "So what do you use Ray?"

"Oh I use ice magic." Ray said as he held out his hand and used a small bit of magic to form a small ice wolf sculpture.

"Wow that so cool." Lucy said looking at the ice sculpture.

Ray smiled as he saw Natsu walking up to him. "What's up Natsu?"

"I wanna see how strong you are. How about you and me have a fight." Natsu said.

"Really?" Ray asked taking a drink.

"Yeah I wanna see if you're as strong as I think." Natsu said.

Ray finished his drink and ate the ice. "You know what sure." Ray said.

"Well Natsu did want to see how tough Ray really is." A flying cat said.

"Oh hey Happy." Lucy said.

"So is Natsu really gonna fight the new guy?" Happy asked.

"Yeah.." Lucy said facepalming.

Natsu smile that he was gonna get to do something fun especially since Ray is brand new to the guild. When word of the mock battle spread around the guild the members of Fairy Tail wanted to see what Ray is made of since he is brand new. So Natsu and Ray went outside the guild hall and to a small open area in the nearby forest. Ray and Natsu stood across from each other as most of the guild members watched wanting to see how tough Ray was.

Makarov was overseeing the fight so that he can see what Ray brings to the guild. "Let the battle begin!" He said.

Ray and Natsu both charged each other and started off by throwing punches and kicks at one and other. Natsu's hand was engulfed in his famous fire and threw a flurry of punches and kicks at Ray who was blocking them. Ray retaliated by kicking Natsu in the stomach before punching him in the jaw sending Natsu back.

"Heh. Not bad. About time I blow you away!" Natsu said as he he breathed in and was now casting his famous breath attack. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu fired a massive breath attack at Ray.

"Looks like it's time to reveal my little secret." Ray thought as he gathered his magic. "Ice Dragon's Roar!" Ray yelled out sending a white snow like breath attack towards Natsu's attack.

"What the!" Lucy said in shock.

"He's got a breath attack like Natsu!" Happy said surprised.

"Does that mean he's a dragon slayer too?" Levi asked.

The two attacks collided exploding sending shockwaves from the breath attacks collision but, thankfully no one was hurt. Makarov looked at the two and now felt he understood. "So that is why Mavis sent him to Fairy Tail."

Natsu looked at Ray with a smirk. "So you're a Dragon Slayer too huh."

"Yeah. I'm the Ice Dragon slayer." Ray said smiling.

"Alright let's get serious. I'm all fired up now." Natsu said.

"Let's go." Ray said smiling.

The two were done messing around as both traded punches after charging each other again Ray landed a punch on Natsu's jaw. Natsu kicked Ray in the stomach and leaped up into the air and conjured more fire into his hands. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu sent a flurry of fire at Ray as Ray dodged Natsu's attack running around Natsu before leaping at Natsu. "Ice Dragon's Talon!" Ray roared as he sent his own attack at Natsu which actually hit Natsu. Ray leaped at Natsu with a blizzard engulfing his fist and began throwing repeated punches into Natsu's jaw. He soon kicked Natsu up into the air "Ice Dragon's Roar!" Ray yelled out launching another breath attack at Natsu. Natsu dodged it and launched himself at Ray "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu flew straight at Ray and nailed him in the sternum. Ray wrapped his arms around Natsu's body and lifted him up over his head. Natsu was confused until Ray launched themselves into the ground creating a crater.

(Back with the other guild members)

Meanwhile the other members of Fairy Tail were enjoying the battle they were watching.

"This is a true man's battle." Elfman said watching the battle.

"This is insane." Levi said.

"Aye they are really going at it!" Happy said watching.

(Back with the fight)

Ray and Natsu both stood across from each other as both breathed heavily from the battle and looked at Natsu.

"You're not half bad Natsu." Ray said smiling.

"Right back at ya." Natsu said with a smile himself.

Ray engulfed his right in the blizzard of ice and snow as Natsu engulfed his with his fire and both charged each other again "Fire Dragon's!" Natsu roared, "Ice Dragon's!" Ray roared out as both threw a punch at the same time. In unison both finished the spell as they threw their last attacks of the battle "Iron Fist!" That is when they both landed the punch hitting each other at the exact same time as both fell onto their backs from the blows and from exhausting their magic too.

"This battle is a draw!" Makarov said.

Ray sat up and looked over at Natsu who sat up and seemed to be smiling so Ray stood up and walked over to Natsu and offered a hand which Natsu accepted. Ray helped Natsu stand up as Natsu looked at Ray.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Natsu said smiling.

"Thanks Natsu." Ray said.

Mirajane looked at the two and smiled. "He'll fit right in."

Meanwhile in the guild hall Natsu was looking for a job while Ray was getting a cold drink at the bar. Ray looked and saw a kid yelling a Makarov and over heard that the kid asking that they send someone to look for his father. But, the kid ran out of the hall and Natsu punched the board leaving a dent in it before storming out with a pack of supplies.

"I never seen Natsu so upset." Lucy said

"It's because, he and Romeo have a lot in common." Mirajane said.

Ray and Lucy turned to her. "What do you mean?" Ray asked.

"Natsu sees himself in Romeo. Just because we're members of Fairy Tail. It doesn't mean we don't have our own personal issues. We've all had our own share suffering and loss."

Ray finished his drink putting the mug on the bar's counter. "Come on Lucy. Let's go with." Ray said standing up.

"Wait you're going with him?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah come on. Let's go." Ray said walking after Natsu.

"Hey wait up!" Lucy yelled as she ran after her partner.

After catching up with Natsu they all agreed to go together and once they reached the edge of town they took a carriage. Unfortunately Natsu had a really bad case of motion sickness and looked like he was gonna hurl.

"Why'd you guys come with.." Natsu said as he laid there looking sick.

"We thought we'd help. Looks like you do have a bad case of motion sickness. Just another reason to feel sorry for you." Lucy said as she was almost making fun of Natsu.

"What you say.." Natsu tried to argue.

Lucy looked over at Ray who was lost in thought. "Hey Ray are you okay?"

Ray snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at her. "Oh I'm okay don't worry." Ray said waving off Lucy's question.

Lucy remembered what Mirajane told them about Natsu being raised by the dragon Igneel. She remembered Ray seemed to get lost in thought when Mirajane mentioned Igneel raising Natsu. Before she can ask him anything the carriage stopped and Natsu jumped up with Happy in glee cheering about no longer moving.

"This is is far as I can take you." The carriage driver said.

The group got out and entered the blizzard in the mountains. "Why is it so cold up here! It's the the middle of summer!" Lucy whined.

"That's what you get for wearing light clothing." Natsu said as they walk.

"Your one to talk! You're not dressed for it now give me that blanket!" Lucy yelled.

"Oh come on this is nothing." Ray said nonchalantly.

"Don't give me that you're a Ice Dragon Slayer!" She yelled.

Lucy took the blanket and a summoned a celestial spirit. "Open Gate of the clock consolation Horologium!" That is when a large clock appeared.

"Whoa a clock!" Natsu said in awe.

"That is so cool!" Happy said in agreement.

Lucy climbed inside and wrapped herself up in the blanket she then tried to talk but, no one could hear her.

"Hey I can't hear you." Natsu complained.

"She says 'I'm not coming out.'" Horologium says for her. "What kind of crazy job would force Macao to come to a place like this?" He says for her.

"He came here to slay a Vulcan it's a giant monster." Natsu answers.

"Wait I know what they are." Ray says.

"You do?" Natsu asks looking at Ray.

"Well yeah I tangled with one before." Ray answers.

"I want to go back to the guild!' She proclaims." Horologium says.

"Well go ahead and be my guest. I say back." Natsu says mockingly as he walks on.

"Aye." Happy says in agreement.

"Macao! Where are you!" Natsu calls out.

"Macao!" Happy yells.

That is when something huge jumps down surprising the dragon slayer and the cat.

"That's a big Vulcan!" Happy says in shock.

The Vulcan smells something as he runs over and sees Lucy who is now scared. "Me like human woman!" It says as it picks up Horologium.

"So it can talk huh." Natsu says punching his palm shooting some flames out.

"Weird. I never encounter one who can talk." Ray says.

They see it running away with Lucy. "Don't just stand there hurry up and save me.' She yells furiously." The Vulcan runs off as Ray and Natsu run into the cave after the Vulcan as Lucy is now no longer in Horologium has disappeared.

"Hey ya big monkey! Where's Macao give him back!" Natsu yelled as he slipped.

Natsu landed upside down and slide spinning across the icy floor as Ray slide to stop and sighed. "This is why I came along."

Natsu and Ray stood in front of Lucy as Natsu looked at the Vulcan. "Where's Macao you bg monkey! Where is he!?" Natsu demanded.

"Uh Natsu I don't think that's a good Idea.." Ray warned.

The Vulcan seems to be pointing at something and Natsu takes it as a sign. "Hey look he's gonna show us." Natsu says.

Natsu is now looking through a hole in the wall. "Macao!" Natsu yells as he is then pushed through by the Vulcan.

"Yup should've seen that coming." Ray said sighing.

Lucy looked and grabbed another key off her belt and summoned a spirit. "Okay ya pervy monkey you're going down. "Open Gate Of The Golden Bull! Taurus!" Lucy says as a massive bull with a huge axe appeared.

"Whoa that's one big ass bull!" Ray said looking at Taurus.

"I'm gonna warn you monkey Taurus is the strongest spirit I have a contract with." Lucy said.

"Oh wow miss Lucy I almost forgot what a nice figure you have. Why don't you come give me a smooch?" The bull said looking at Lucy.

Ray and Lucy both facepalm. "Oh yeah I forgot he's a big pervert too." Lucy said.

That is when the Vulcan spoke. "No touch my woman!"

"Your woman. Them's fighten words ya Mooonkey." Taurus said.

"Get him!" Lucy said.

Taurus pulled out his axe and then got a kick in the face by Natsu. "Hey how come there are more monsters now then when I left?" Natsu asked motioning towards Taurus.

"He's a friend dumbass! One of Lucy's spirits!" Ray yelled.

"Who you callin a dumbass!" Natsu yelled back.

"Wait how'd you survive?" Lucy asked.

Natsu looked at her. "Happy came to save me." Natsu looked at Happy who was floating with his wings. "Thanks little buddy."

"Wait you can't handle other modes of transportation but, flying with happy is okay?" Lucy asked.

"What kinda stupid question is that? Happy isn't a mode of transportation he's my friend. I mean duh." Natsu said.

"You walked right into that one." Ray said.

The Vulcan attacked but, Natsu blocked it. "Listen up I consider everyone in the guild to be my friend." Natsu said as the Vulcan kicked Natsu back.

Ray ran up and kicked the Vulcan in the face getting its attention as it swiped at him and sent ice rubble at him which never affected him. But, the Vulcan grabbed Taurus's axe "That's not good." Ray said as the Vulcan swung the axe down but, Ray caught it just before it could hit him. "Natsu! A little help please!" Ray yelled. Natsu ran up "Fire Dragon's Iron fist!" Natsu roared as he punched the Vulcan sending it flying and slamming into the ice walls.

"You beat it!" Happy said in excitement.

"Isn't he supposed to tell us where Macao is?" Ray asked.

"Oh right whoops." Natsu said rubbing the back of his head.

That's when a magic circle appeared and the Vulcan changed into..Macao.

"You're telling me that pervy monkey was your friend the whole time!?" Lucy yelled in shock.

"He must've been taken over by that Vulcan." Happy said.

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.

"Vulcan's survive by stealing other people's bodies. Basically their body snatchers." Ray said.

Natsu, Lucy, Happy and, Ray got Macao to better health and were ready to go home. Once they did Macao returned to his son Romeo thanks to Ray and Natsu helping him walk. Romeo hugged his dad happy to see him again. Ray smiled as he and the others left as Romeo yelled thanking them for finding his father.

"Fairy Tail is the greatest!" Ray cheered in his thoughts.
