AN: Don't own Fairy Tail, I own the plot of this story but if I owned FT Nalu and Grayza would be cannon
Fairy Tail Espionage Guild
"Alright Salamander you got 8 minutes, we need to find the egg and be out of here by then, remember your instructions. You need to steal the egg and escape unseen; use of deadly force is authorized. You know the layout and we'll be over the drop zone in 30 seconds. Gray will be waiting for you on the other side of the compound to extract you." An older yet experienced voice said into the one known as Salamander's earpiece.
"Ha I only need 5 and tell snowflake he better be ready for me" he said as he pulled down a black balaclava.
"Alright then good luck"
Another voice sounded on the planes speakers as the hatch opened.
"You're clear for jump Salamander, and please don't overdo it this time, we really need all of the reward money" the strong yet feminine voice sounded.
"No guarantees" he laughed as he jumped from the plane before closing his eyes and feeling the wind rush past his face. He was dropped at 10,000 feet and was gaining speed fast; if it wasn't for Wendy's troia pills he would've been puking his guts out before he even got on the damn plane. The muscular yet lean individual was fully clad in black except for a scale patterned white scarf that was tucked in to prevent it from falling out. He prepared mentally for yet another mission, he had a feeling he would have to kill again but it wasn't something he enjoyed doing, none of the members of Fairy Tail particularly did but all accepted it as necessary for their job. As he quickly lost altitude he silently recounted a prayer.
"I pray for you God to watch over me and forgive me for what I am about to do and what I have done for I have sinned." He was a very religious person despite having murdered many people, he saw the murders as benefiting the world and figured perhaps praying would help him feel better after killing people who had lives of their own.
As he neared the ground he deployed his shoot and landed safely on the ground where he could see lights a few hundred yards away from in between the forest's thick shoots of pine trees. He let out a deep breath as he limbered up in the crisp night air.
"Drop successful" he spoke holding his finger to his ear before he cocked his silenced pistol and checked to make sure all his gear was in check.
"Alright then the egg is sitting in a safe in the drug lord's mansion, if you feel it necessary to kill him it's your choice." The feminine voice said once again as he checked his shotgun to make sure it was still in one piece after the drop.
"Roger that Erza I'm heading in now" he said as he pulled on a pair of black gloves
"Oi, fire breath don't be late this time and don't make me have to bail your ass out again." Another voice sounded in Salamander's ear piece again causing him to smirk mischievously.
"That was once Ice Princess and what about all the times I've had to haul you back to the guild unconscious?" he received no response as he quietly climbed the chain-link fence before hiding behind a truck parked on the grass while simultaneously trying to avoid the spotlights stationed around the compound.
"You got two tangos behind the tank to your left and eight in the building ahead of you." Another girl said.
"Thanks Levy I'll take out the two left and then proceed into the building" he whispered.
"Are you sure that's wise? I mean it would be easier to go around and then enter the mansion from the basement." Levy said from the computer where she was the eye in the sky.
"You know how hothead is he's reckless and a fool" said Gray.
"Hey no fighting over the intercom especially when we're on a job." Erza yelled into Salamander's ear piece causing the two bickering agents to shiver in fear.
Salamander moved from behind the truck until he was just behind the pair of men who were currently smoking cigars as they chatted about the woman they had just been with. He noticed their guns propped against their tank and proceeded to pull out his knife before putting his hand over the mouth of the first and stabbing him in the heart. The second realized what was going on as he tried to draw his sidearm but was stopped as Salamander withdrew his quicker and lodged a bullet in his brain.
"They're down moving up to the building adjoining the mansion." He said as he wiped his knife on one of the mercenary's jackets before sprinting quietly to the door where he could hear muffled voices.
"Man how long is this prick going to expect us to watch over his stupid egg? It's been three months and-" his complaining was cut off as silenced gunshots rang out through the air before Salamander heard the soft thud of bodies hitting the ground.
"What the? Erza are you sure we're the only ones who took this job?" Salamander asked as he peered in threw the window where he could see blood splattered on the wall and several bodies on the ground.
"Positive Natsu why?" she asked
"'Cause I wasn't the one who just killed those men in the building" he answered as he forced the door open quietly, he didn't see anyone else so he moved deeper into the building.
"Are you sure?" she asked again.
"I'm pretty sure I would know if I killed anyone or not" he answered with a snort before entering the mansion and hiding behind one of the many pillars. The room was large and circular with a large staircase in the middle leading up to the second floor where a single mercenary laid with his back against the balcony talking on the phone.
"Shit that means a rogue agent is in there with you. Alright everyone abort the mission I repeat abort, Natsu get out of there rendezvous with Gray at the east end." Erza said sharply into his earpiece.
"No way we're Fairy Tail, we can't just let someone rogue ruin the reputation of the strongest espionage guild in Fiore" He whispered.
"Natsu that's an order get your ass out of there!" Erza yelled.
"Sorry no can do" he said before turning of his earpiece. He knew he was going to get it from the scariest woman in Fairy Tail but he had to meet who this rogue was and no way was he going to get beaten to his prize.
"I'm in the dark now." He mumbled to himself before skillfully scaling the pillar next to the mercenary. When he reached the top he swung back to grab onto the ledge silently before pulling himself up, he quietly put his hands on the man's head before twisting. When heard a loud crack he knew he was successful and gracefully leapt over the bar towards the room where he knew the egg was hiding.
When he reached the door he put his ear to it to try and see if anyone was already in there, when he heard voices he closed his eyes to try and listen better.
"You thought you could steal my egg? I'm sorry but you see, that request we put in was fake, I never really stole that egg from my friend, we both agreed Salamander and his friends had fucked up enough of our slave deals and wanted him gone so we put in that fake request and requested him specifically." A man maybe in his twenties said.
"I don't know what you're talking about; I have no affiliation with Fairy Tail." A girl spoke. Natsu looked through the keyhole to see a man with blue hair and a red tattoo on his forehead pointing a gun at the girls face. He recognized the man instantly as Bora of Prominence, a devious slave trader and drug lord. The girl sat in a chair with her hands bound as other men stood around them holding fully automatic machine guns.
Natsu realized he was going to have to attempt a breach if he was going to get the girl out of there, he didn't know her but he felt compelled to save her, it was his fault she was captured and could possibly die. He hardly ever pulled breaches solo so he mentally prepared himself before getting a flash bang ready and pulling out his shotgun.
"Here I go" he said to himself before he opened the door forcefully as he threw the flash bang in temporarily blinding the men inside.
"What the?" one said before he was blasted with a shotgun shell. Natsu dropped the shotgun after the one shot and pulled out his pistol finishing off the rest. As the dust cleared he could see Bora with his gun to the girl's head whose features he could now see clearly. She had long blonde hair that was pulled into a side pony tail, she had smooth, pale skin that was blemished from what looked like blows from Bora and his crew. Blood was caked in her hair and a black eye was starting to form. Despite this she was seriously pretty, at least to Natsu, her gear was amateurish yet good enough to get the job done. Salamander didn't really have much time to admire anything else as he had his pistol aimed at Bora.
"Who are you? Leave or I kill the girl!" Bora said trying to back up into the wall.
"You do that and you're dead" Natsu replied as he quickly pulled off his mask revealing a head of wild pink hair. "I am Salamander of Fairy Tail and if you want to get out of here alive let her go!"
"Why should I? I have regular patrols every 5 minutes you'll be found and killed if you try to escape." Bora replied with a smirk while the blonde had a terrified look on her face. Natsu had a plan but it was risky and could possibly do more harm than good.
"I can just kill you and then the girl" Bora smirked a he pointed the gun towards Natsu. As his finger tightened around the trigger a shock of astonishing pain shot through his left hand as the blonde girls teeth sunk into the rough flesh.
"Aaaaaaaah! You Bitch! Y-" Bora was cut off as he slumped to the ground, the girls bite gave Natsu the perfect chance and he didn't waste it. A silenced shot had rung out and Bora was now dead on the floor. The girl stood off to the side holding her arm where blood was gushing from a long, open wound down her forearm.
"Thanks, are you ok?" Natsu asked as he put his weapon away and began to walk towards the girl with his hands up "I'm not going to hurt you, here take this" he said as he handed her some bandage from his pocket.
"T-Thanks" she murmured as she wrapped her arm in the gauze.
"We need to get out of here but first, why are you here?" Natsu asked.
"I-I heard about the egg that Bora supposedly had stolen and I've been living on the streets for a few years now and though I… I could use the money" she said glumly, she knew that it was his job and didn't want him to think she was purposely trying to interfere with his job. "I'm sorry…"
"Don't be, it's a miracle they haven't heard my first shotgun shot but it's only a matter of time before more show up" Natsu replied as hauled the bodies into a closet.
The pair were interrupted as two men walked in the room, to hide Natsu and the girl dived into the closet with the bodies. Unfortunately they had left Bora lying on the floor and of course he was found.
"Shit he's dead" the one said.
"I knew I heard a gunshot in here, look around they might still be hiding" said the second as he aimed his gun walking about the room.
"Hey blondie you got any guns on you?" Natsu whispered.
"My names Lucy and no they confiscated my weapons when I got caught!" she whisper shouted. "What about your pistol?"
"I'm out and if I use my shotgun now they'll definitely hear" Natsu replied.
"Aaron look at this, there's blood along the floor pointing to the closet!" the first said.
"Ah shit…" Natsu swore under his breath. He pulled out his shotgun and kicked the door down blasting the men away before they could even fire. Unfortunately the blast was heard by everyone in the compound as an alarm sounded across hundreds of speakers.
"Just great…" Natsu mumbled "Come on let's get out of here"
"Right behind you" Lucy replied as she grabbed a gun from the body of the one named Aaron.
The two ran from the room and out the door from where Natsu entered, immediately encountering showers of gunfire causing them hide back inside the building.
"Damn it!" Natsu said. "Alright give me some covering fire, if there not dead within 60 seconds leave me and head to the north end where you'll see a man named Gray. Follow him and he'll lead you to safety."
"I can't just leave you!" Lucy yelled.
"Fine but don't get mad at me if you die" Natsu replied as he looked out a window. "Go"
Lucy started firing in the general direction of the assailants as Natsu ran from the door and behind a truck so that he was just underneath the balcony from which the men were shooting from. He climbed up from the side and vaulted the railing with impressive agility. Lucy had finished firing by now to not hurt Salamander and had run behind the truck. There were three men on the top but Natsu took out the first with his shotgun before throwing his knife into the chest of the second. The third raise his gun but Natsu disarmed him with a swing from the shotgun which was now empty. The two proceeded to fight hand to hand until the man made a fatal mistake, he pulled a knife and sliced Natsu along his left abdomen but he quickly recovered and countered by impaling him with his own knife.
"Alright let's go I just hope Ice Freak is still waiting for us" winced as he jumped down holding his side.
"Natsu you're hurt!" Lucy exclaimed.
"I'm fine, and how do you know my name?" Natsu asked as the two ran towards the far side's gate.
"You're the famous Salamander of Fairy Tail, I-I've always wanted to join them and I've heard a lot about you" she blushed as they hid again from more men before Natsu threw knifes at them.
"Wow I guess word is starting to spread about my immense talents" he smirked in reply earning a playful punch to his arm.
"Apparently you're also extremely reckless and get into fights with Titania a lot" she said as the two were now hopping the fence.
"Oh shit! I forgot about Erza!" he exclaimed as he turned his earpiece back on.
"Goddammit Natsu! He's gonna get himself killed!" he hear Erza shout.
"It's alright Erza I'm fine we're heading out now, tell Gray to be ready" Natsu said as he and Lucy dodged more bullets while they ran into the forest.
"I'm right here flame head" he heard a voice say from behind, he turned to see his rival standing with goggles on his head while two motorcycles laid propped up against the trees.
"This is Lucy there's no time to explain we need to get out of here!" Natsu shouted as he gestured to Lucy.
"Fine. Erza, Natsu's here we're heading out now, we've also got some cargo" Gray said as he held his finger to his ear.
"Come on Lucy hop on" Natsu smiled as he swung his body over the motorcycle. He just prayed to god those pills would still be working.
"Are you sure you can ride? I mean you're hurt pretty bad" Lucy replied with concern despite clambering onto the bike herself.
"I'm fine. Gray let's go!" Natsu shouted.
"Alright calm down pyro!" Gray yelled as he hopped on to his own customized bike. "Follow me" he continued before revving the engine and taking off into the night.
"Hold on Lucy!" Natsu said as he too took off into the night dodging trees and trying to keep sight of Gray in the dark.
"Where the heck are you taking me?" Lucy asked. She had gotten in to the compound via car but since Bora and his men caught her and made her talk returning to the car was out of the question.
"Just come on you said you wanted to join the Fairy Tail guild didn't ya?" Natsu asked as he looked over his shoulder earning a shocked look from the blonde causing him to chuckle. "So let's go!"
"Alright!" Lucy shouted as she smiled and the two sped off into the darkness of the forest.
