AN: Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Fairy Tail are the respective properties of Rick Riordan and Hiro Mashima.
Percy dodged a slash at his face which would have cleaved it in half had it made contact. He parried, rolled and dodged as his opponent continued his relentless assault with a maniacal grin on his face.
"Come on Jackson! You can do better than that ". The God of War bellowed with a smirk on his unlike his usual evil ones, it was actually playful.
Percy kept quiet, but slowly began to come out of his defensive front. His stance strengthened and his strikes became more brutal.
After half an hour of metal clanking the spar ended with Riptide at the War God's throat. "Looks like this one's mine" Percy said with a grin on his face.
Ares pushed aside the blade from his throat and grumbled, " You just got lucky punk. We'll see next time". But nonetheless walked to the edge of the arena and added another win to the Jackson slot. The current score was Ares 70 and Jackson 73 which only added injury to the Immortals ego.
"Haa! beat that you meathead." from Percy probably didn't help, but he nonetheless tossed a square of Ambrosia to the half blood behind him who caught it easily.
Percy consumed the food of Immortals with a contended sigh and walked out of the arena without even a farewell to the God as was usual.
Ares coming to him with the offer to be sparring partners was truly a godsend. After the Giant war, peace reigned in the world. Even Gaia was defeated to the edge of nothingness.
As it was, Olympians were trying to amend their mistakes, working to become better parents and able rulers to the world.
After the war, all the Prophesied seven had been offered Immortality. But all had rejected it knowing the price that came along it and cherishing their mortal lives too much to give it up . Instead they had asked for the Roman and Greek Camps to be merged, to present a United front to the enemies of gods that they were ready.
Sadly, the war didn't come without cost. The Seven had been scarred in a way no amount of healing could heal. Jason and Piper were going to a college in Manchester while Hazel and Frank along with Nico were in Italy trying to find the remnants of memory from nico's past before moving to new Orleans. Leo as he promised, returned to Ogygia to spend the eternity with Calypso.
While facing all the challenges had helped Percy turn into a better warrior, the one who perhaps changed the most was Annabeth. The trials of Athena and the time in Tartarus made her a shell of her former self.
The much glorified PERCABETH as the Aphrodite cabin dubbed it just stopped being...well it. They broke up on friendly terms as Annabeth moved to California to fulfill her dream to become an Architect.
Maybe it had something to do with the way his brain was haywired for battle or the years in which he was forced to fight for his life, but he soon developed a bloodlust. Not for killing or slaughter but just a good fight.
After the first few times they tried to kill each other, Percy soon learned that behind all that ego and arrogance, Ares was a pretty okay guy. And probably the only one who was willing to spar with him.
After his role in the giant war, he'd become a sort of celebrity across the globe. As his popularity grew so did the rumors. He was given the title of the "strongest" demigod ever born, despite his protests thus rendering him of any other competition.
After exiting from the lift that served as the pathway to Mount Olympus, he moved to cross the road.
Lost in his wistful thinking, he didn't notice the truck moving towards him. The honk by the driver was a bit too late and as Percy was hit by the truck, his last conscious thought was Shit.
Darkness greeted Percy as he regained consciousness. He felt numb all over him his body. The first thing that came to mind was Am I dead?
That was a probability but the a look at his surroundings had him doubting. Sure his Uncle's realm was dark and gloomy but this was different. He couldn't see Charonand his boat and neither could he see the river Styx.
He was interrupted from his musings by a glow of light and saw his father, Hades and Hestia around him. He didn't have time to process what was happening as he was engulfed in a hug by the Goddess of hearth.
It was only when Hestia released him that he noticed the pitying look from Hades and an expression of agony plastering his father's face.
"What's wrong?" He immediately asked.
It was Hestia who replied in an heartbroken voice "They cursed you Percy. The Primordials Tartarus and Gaia. They used a dimension transfer spell on you."
"What? A spell? On me?" Percy said, bewildered.
"Yes, Perseus a spell. It was so faint when it was cast that we were unable to detect it until now." His uncle said in a grim voice.
"But you can reverse it right, whatever it is? I mean you guys are Gods after all." Percy said in a hopeful voice.
"No, the curse was enacted by two Primordial Gods. These things are uncontrollable even by the Gods." Podiedon said in a quiet voice.
"So what happens now?" Percy asked with a slight quiver in his voice.
"Though we delayed it by putting you here in the hyperbolic chamber, a place where time and space doesn't matter, the effects of the spell is going to catch up to you soon." Hades explained.
"So when that truck came at me..."
"It was a distraction created by us to teleport you here." Hades confirmed.
"D... Do you want to meet your mother before you leave? There is a limit to how long you can stay, even with in the hyperbolic chamber." The God of the seas practically choked on his words.
"What will happen to me?"
"Athena has a theory. You will be teleported to one of the outer dimensions. It may be similar to our own or entirely different. We can't be sure ." Hades answered.
Percy turned towards his father and said, "Can you get her now ? My mom."
Sally broke down the moment she heard what was happening. Percy tried to act brave for her, but can't stop a tear or two from escaping his his eyes. Paul wasn't much better as he looked at man he had come to see as his own son.
As much as he hated it Hades broke in the family moment, "The spell is going to activate any second now, Perseus."
Hearing Hades's words Sally immediately grabbed on to her son wailing, "Not my son. Please not him."
Paul moved forward and gently pried Sally away from Percy and gave him a hug whispering, "I'm gonna miss you son."
Percy's voice threatened to break as he spoke, "I'll miss you too."
Posiedon came to him, and it was the first time he saw the tears in the God's face. The Lord of the Horses said in a constricted voice, "We'll bring you back soon son. I promise you. Just try to stay put and be safe."
Unable to say anything, Percy just nodded. Hestia was next ,"Don't lose hope Percy. You'll be back to us before you know it. Your family will be waiting."
" Thanks aunt Hestia... for everything you've done for me." Percy mumbled through the hug.
Hades just gave him a pat on the shoulder "Never thought I'll say it but you are the only demigod I'll ever miss Perseus. I can safely say you are my favorite nephew of all time." Hades said with a slight smile.
Percy gave a weak grin in reply when there was a thumping sound and Percy was lifted into the air.
He gazed sadly at his family as he began to glow brightly and forced a grin on his face when their eyes made contact. The last thing he remembered was giving a wave below before he blacked out.
Percy woke up groaning, his head throbbing wildly as he struggled to stand. Taking in his surroundings he found he was in a dense forest.
Concentrating, he tried to sense some water nearby and gave a sigh as he found it, some ten feet away. He felt there was something wrong with his body, but he ignored it in favor of a drink.
So far everything appeared to be normal. He could tell he was in an uncharted territory. The time with Lupa had taught him to hone his senses. His internal compass which worked perfectly before couldn't sense anything similar around.
As he cupped some water to have a sip, he noticed his younger looking reflection and splutterd the water out. He wasn't easily surprised nowadays but what he saw in the lake definitely came as a shock.
And by young he meant the way he looked when he was twelve or thirteen. His height, structure, arms and legs all seemed to have shrunk to his adolescent days. Even his face which had matured greatly over the years had lost its definition and held a childish charm about it.
Huh... I shouldn't be too surprised I guess..... Being turned into a child again hardly seemed worth a thought when compared to having an Immortal father, best friend with hooves and now exiled to another dimension. Probably had something to do with the spell... Some side-effect maybe.
Even his clothes hung up on him, something he'd forgot to notice during the dizziness of the travel between dimensions.
I'll have to get some new ones. Maybe I could get some work around And to think that I thought it may be somewhat like a holiday.
An hour later Percy was found walking around a farm just outside the forest he'd had been in. He thanked his luck when he noticed the first signs of civilization in the form of the farmhouse ahead. He was on the trail to the house when he heart an explosion nearby which was succeeded by a male scream. Say whatever you each but he blamed his fatal flaw and hero complex as he ran towards the direction scream came from.
His gaze hardened when he saw two men holding an old guy at rifle point who was clutching his leg in pain. His hands instinctively flew to his pockets for Riptide but came empty handed. He was numbed at the loss of his beloved weapon for a moment, but forcefully shrugged it off. He had an old man to save.
"Hey Dirtbags! why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Percy yelled as he ran towards the trio.
The two men turned towards them him, surprised but smirked when they who the shout came from.
"Huh old geezer, someone came to save you... Who would have thought you were this popular, right?" Snickered one of the guys, a short portly fat man who reminded Percy of smelly Gabe.
"Take care of the kid will you, Bob? He'll fetch a good price at the slave market. I'll take care of this old coot." Said his partner who was taller and a looked a little smarter than Bob.
"Whatever you say Joe." Bob mock saluted to his partner and turned a crazy grin at Percy," You chose the wrong day to be the hero kid. Bad luck I guess. But can't deny a treat when it walks to you, bad for business you know." He said moving towards Percy.
The old man tried to yell at Percy to run but was quickly backhanded by Joe. The warning though was never needed.
Despite the change in his physique, Percy still remembered the training he went through. With a quick sprint, Percy dodged the incoming punch and delivered a punch to Bob's abdomen lifting the man in the air with the force behind the blow, completely knocking him out.
Percy himself was a little surprised. He wasn't weak by any means but he didn't think he was capable of such a show of strength even in his adult body much less his teenage one.
Though he quickly got over it and turned towards Joe. If the man was surprised he didn't show it and stood at his place before calmly shouldering his rifle and aiming at him. He didn't know what he was expecting but a bolt of energy certainly wasn't it. He wasn't foolish enough to try to take it head on and thus jumped out of its way. Joe aimed again but this time he was ready. There was a feeling in his gut just like the one in Mt. Helens and this time when he was shot at a shield of storms formed in front of him.
Using the storm as a distraction he ran towards Joe aiming a punch at his face but Joe proved himself better than his partner by blocking the punch and trying to perform a karate chop at Percy's neck. But Percy hadn't survived two wars by being careless as proved when he ducked down and round kicked Joe across the face which sent him down to the ground , from where he didn't get up.
Phew! That didn't take much, even without a weapon. Percy thought wiping the sweat from his brows.
Percy looked towards the man who he came to save who looked at him with, with jaws dropped. He moved towards the man helping him stand up.
"Are you alright Sir?" Percy asked when he saw the wince that escaped the man's mouth when force was applied to his leg.
"It's just a sprain, but thank you for saving me young man. I don't know what they may have done to me if it weren't for you. " The old man said in a country accent.
Percy rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed because of the praise."If you don't mind me asking, who are these guys Sir?"
"My name is Johnathan Stewart, lad . As for those two, they are the local goons, trying to get money from the folks around by threatening them and their families.,
"And they actually succeeded? Don't look all that strong to me."
" They may not look like it, but they are actually Mages, though by the storm you conjured and your strength you are a Mage too right?"
Percy was baffled. Mages? Like the one from stories... Can they actually be real here here? Though taking into the consideration I am half God, I have no right to deny their existence.
Deciding to play along he said,, "Yes sir. Do you live nearby?" He thought it wise to change the topic to avoid any further questions.
" Oh yes, my house is just around the corner. Come along, boy. Though I never got your name. " The Old man said leaning for an answer.
"It's Percy, Sir."
The Old Man nodded and gestured for Percy to follow him. It turned out Johnathan lived in the same house Percy had contemplated going to for a job before he was distracted by the explosion.
As they entered the house John was pulled into a hug by his wife whose name Percy learned was Mary. After John's aggravated tale of how Percy saved him, he too was given a warm hug and thanked profusely. Despite his protests, they urged him to stay with them for at least one day. As the sun was already going down, he figured he may as well stay since he had nowhere else to go..
As he learned from John he was on the planet Earthland in the country of Bosco. According to John 'Mages' were humans who were born with the ability to perform magic and formed the 10% population of the Earthland . He found about Guilds which were sort of gatherings of Mages. What shocked him the most was that normal people knew about the existence of Magic Users and even asked the Guilds for all sorts of help in exchange of money. By the time dinner came in the form of chicken and stew, he'd learned about the many differences between the two planets.
He soon discovered the increase in his appetite and thanked the Stewart's for the delicious food. He was pretty confident in his abilities to pass his powers as magic and that's what he decided he will do.
As it turned out, he didn't leave the next day or the day after that. He just couldn't say no to Mary's pleading face who he'd come to really like. So, he helped John in the yard and the farm for the three days he stayed with them . He gave a them a rough version of the story of how he was separated from his family. Though They could tell he was hiding something, they didn't pry, knowing he was a good child. Mary even cried when she heard the story and Percy was touched.
Mary had come to see him as a sort of son, but knew that eventually he'd leave. So on the morning of the fifth day of his stay at the Stewart residence, he packed the bag, Mary had so kindly given him with the clothes of her son who was now an soldier in the army of the state. Despite him denying it, John still gave him money that may be required on his way to the city.
So four hours later Percy was on the trail to the city where he hoped to find some job where his talent may be required as John said.
As he passed the board that mentioned the city was five miles away he began to wonder about his new found abilities. He was way faster and stronger than before and the use of his powers came more naturally to him and took significantly less effort compared to his old world. The air here was unlike anything in his world, filled with something that he can only define as magic. He seemed more aware of his surrounding, more in sync with the nature... the elements.
Maybe his stay in this new universe won't be as bad as he thought.
Percy cursed loudly as he dodged the strike at his torso. When he accepted the job to stop the rogue animals animals from destroying the city and taking people hostage , he didn't expect a pack of 'effing' Human-Tigers. Though he'd managed to subdue two of them, there were still four others in front of him, baring their fangs at him in displeasure. As the one he assumed to be the alpha of the pack rushed towards him growling ferally, he was grateful for the magic sword that had been given to him before he left for the quest. He picked up his own pace, and stretching I sword meeting the leader in mid way. He slashed at leader's torso just as the were-tigers claw ripped his sleeve off, drawing a steady dream of blood from his shoulders .
For a moment silence reigned before the alpha fell backward, with a pitiful howl causing the remaining Were-tigers to flee in terror, discouraged by their leader's easy defeat.
Half an hour later, he led the people who were kidnapped by the Were - Tigers back to their city where he was greeted by the Mayor and the rest of city's population.
Stretching his hand Percy said, "I did as was Requested. I think I earned my reward."
Dumbstruck the Mayor handed him the money bag with the promised money of 400,000 jewels, and soon offered an apologetic look." I'm sorry we doubted you young man. But you have to understand many before you tried to finish the job and as there aren't many strong mages around, none succeeded. So We were so somewhat skeptic to allow a child to do the job."
Percy nodded his head at the explanation before wordlessly holding the sword to the man in front in front of him.
Mayor got a surprised look on his face before pushing the sword back to Percy, "No, Child keep it. You deserve it. " Noticing the protesting look on the demigods face he quickly added, "Think of it as a gift from us. Though I suspect, you'll need a new one soon made in sync with your energy."
Percy opened his mouth to refuse before taking in the stubborn expression on the Mayor's face and simply saying thanks with a slight smile.
He put the money in his traveling bag, before turning towards the border of the city and offering a slight nod at the citizens who were watching him. His face turned red when he heard the citizens cheering for him and offered a wave before reaching the outskirts and vanishing from the sight of the cities inhabitants.
Percy walked on a mountain trail with a map in his hands. According to it he was on his way to the Principality of Veronica, the Mountain country. He had no wish to actually visit the main part of the country , he just wanted access to the borders of the Principality.
Over the three months that he'd spend in this world, he'd realized that the northern parts of Ishgar Peninsula didn't really had much in for the wizards. Sure he got some jobs over the span of his travels, but he barely earned enough for a living. After enquiring through some places and talking with certain people, he'd realized the best way to utilize his talents in this world and earning a steady income was to journey to the land of Fiore. It's economy and various other businesses aside, it boasted of its title as the the largest Magical Community in the world. Moreover they had the Wizarding Guilds that accumulated the jobs given to them by their Magical Government thus saving their members the trouble of hunting the jobs out. He hadn't decided which guild he'll join, though he figured he had plenty of time before he'll have to choose.
He had kept up the exercises to train his younger body. His powers had progressed to a level that he'd created his own form of transportation like the Shadow travel, the only difference that he used Storm instead of Shadows. Though it wasn't perfect yet, not allowing him to travel more than twenty feets.
His 'Me' time was interrupted by the smell of burning and a sound that sounded suspiciously like a roar. He knew he shouldn't have, but as always his curiosity got the better of him. Walking by the edge of the trail he peered down below him, where the sound came from. What he saw astonished him greatly then it had when he found he was a demigod. A kid maybe around ten or eleven was spewing fire at a horde of giant gorilla like creatures which he remembered as Vulcans from when he was warned about them by the villagers below.
The lead Vulcan was down and was probably the one who'd let out the scream as his Flesh was burned. His fellow specimens were smart enough to jump out of the Fire 's way and awaited for the flow to the stop. And surely soon after that, it did stop. The kid himself looked shocked when it did.
Though this time when he tried again all that came out was a small ember. An anime styled sweatdrop appeared on the kid's pink hair, as Percy observed amusedly
The Vulcans grinned maliciously at that. The small boy raised his hand in a peaceful manner, "Can't we just talk first.? I mean We're all friends here right?"
Judging by the cruel smile on the Vulcans faces, they had no intention of doing as suggested. Apparently the Pinkette realized that too and began backing off until his back touched the rock behind him.
The boy closes his eyes as the Vulcans pounced at him , but opened his eyes his eyes in confusion when the attack never came. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw a boy couple of years older than him standing ahead him with a sword in his hand, stained with green blood. His eyes found the Monkey that was about to hurt him lying in pieces on the ground, slashed in half from the Torso.
The boy in front of him was a good deal taller than him with messy black hair and a somewhat muscular physique for his age .
He pointed the double edged sword which started buzzing with blue lightening, at the remaining Vulcans who were still trying to process what the hell happened.
"The smart way would be to leave without commotion, but if you want to do it the hard way..." He pointed the index finger of his spare hand in their general direction and a similar form of electricity formed at the tip of his finger. It gained momentum the instant it was released blowing the tree behind the Ape-like creatures in splinters completely avoiding their supposed target.
"Oops! I missed. Maybe I should try once again." Percy grinned and the moment he raised his finger, the Vulcans shrieked in terror and ran away stampeding on one another.
Turning towards the boy behind him he said, "Are you alright pinkie?"
The kid , when his initial awe over the obviously powerful guy wore off, snapped,"I am not pinkie, Y... You messy haired weirdo. My name is Natsu Dragneel."
Percy's face softened," I am sorry if I offended you natsu. But are you okay?"
"I am fine. Thank you for saving me." Natsu said, looking away.
"My name is Percy Jackson, Natsu. It's nice to meet you." Percy said extending his hand towards natsu.
Natsu stared at his hand uncertainly before remembering something and shaking it enthusiastically with his own.
Percy smiled at him before wrapping an arm around the smaller boy and storm traveled them to trail he had been on earlier.
Natsu's eyes widened when he took in the change in scenery. He looked at Percy in wonder and asked, "How did you do it?"
Percy winked at natsu and said in a mysterious voice ,"Magic."
Ignoring the irritated look the pink haired boy sent at him he continued, " Speaking of Magic , how did you do that fire breathing things? It was pretty cool."
Natsu instantly forgot his irritation towards Percy and with a spark in his eyes said, "My father taught me. He is the best."
Smiling at the clear love natsu had for his father he said, "Why don't you tell me where your father may be Natsu, so I can take you to him."
He knew he'd asked the wrong question when tears filled Natsu's eyes. "I don't know wh... Where Igneel went. I have been sea..searching for him for ten days now. That's why the...those monkeys cornered me when I asked them if they knew where Igneel went." Natsu said through his sobbings.
Percy not knowing what to do, said, "It's alright Natsu. Tell me how Igneel looks. I have been traveling for some time now, maybe I have seen him." Percy said while awkwardly patting Natsu.
"You think so ?" Natsu asked, sniffling .
At Percy' s nod, Natsu rubbed off his tears off and said, "Well, Igneel 's really big... red scales... leathery wings and oh really and really sharp teeth."
Percy paused for a moment and then asked with a slight waver in his voice, "Natsu, Igneel... your father, he's like us right?"
This caused natsu to giggle loudly, "No silly, Igneel's a fire dragon."
Percy knew it, something was bound to happen. He just couldn't be normal. He straightened up... fixed the straps of his bag and ruffling Natsu's spiky hair said, " Well kiddo, I've got to be going. I wish you best of luck in finding your dad. I hope we meet again someday."
Natsu face fell down and Percy saw a few fears drop to the ground. " You are just going to leave me too aren't you? Just like Igneel." Natsu said in a heartbroken voice.
Percy cursed silently. He knew he was going to regret it but he made a snap decision. He bent down to Natsu's level and said, "Um... Listen here. I am on my way to a neighboring country. If you want, you can come with me. Maybe Igneel went someplace around there and you can search for him then. The decision is yours."
Natsu looked at him, his eyes shining, Re... Really?"
As Percy replied in affirmative, natsu hugged him tightly saying,Thank you thank you all over again.
Percy looked up at the Sky, patting Natsu's life wasn't so bad after all.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"What about now?"
"No."
"Are we there..."
"For God's sake Natsu, can't you shut up for five minutes?"
Silence.
"Hey Natsu.. Guess what?"
"What?"
"We're there."
Natsu's loud childish laughter echoed in the large fields Balsam village. They had been traveling for almost two months now. Despite small and big problems in their way... The duo had faced them bravely and deserved praise for all the trouble.
As they entered the market, Percy quickly picked out a motel for a night stay. As the two plopped into their beds... both let out sighs of relief... It having been a long time since they last could afford such a luxury. Over their travels Percy found out, that Natsu used a form of magic called Dragon slayer magic, a type of magic used to kill dragons... Though why a dragon will teach a human how to kill his species of all things he couldn't wonder why... as that was what Natsu said happened to him. And Percy believed Natsu enough to trust him when he said he was raised by a dragon.
Later that evening, Percy took natsu to the main market and show him the festival that was going around. Natsu really enjoyed himself. Percy couldn't keep a smile from stretching across his face when he heard Natsu's exclamation of joys. As the festive celebrations lasted twenty four hours long, it was around midnight when Natsu finally tired out enough to sleep.
Percy brought the magazine Weekly Sorcerer from one of the many stalls around which contained information about different guilds in Fiore. Laying in his bed Percy concluded Phantom Lord was too dark for his tastes, Blue Pegasus seemed too vain to him and Lamia scale was a sort of finishing school for Mages.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he read the name of the last guild in the magazine - Fairy Tail. It seemed interesting enough. Famous for its destructive ways, it contained a number of strong Mages and was considered to be the mightiest guild in Fiore. Well they could always try this guild and leave if they didn't like it. He supposed he could ask Natsu what he wanted to do. He didn't even knew if Natsu wanted to join a guild. Shrugging it off, Percy switched off the lights for a good night's sleep.
Miraculously, the next day Natsu woke up earlier than him and was skipping through the magazines. "Which guild do you suppose we should join Percy? there are a Lotin here." Percy released a breath he had been holding up until now before commenting, "Fairy Tail seems good enough to me. What do you think?" Natsu turned the pages until he found the one with The Fairy Tail picture on it. He read out aloud, "Reckless, destructive with a lot of strong Mages."
He looked up at Percy and grinned, "Sounds cool to me." Smiling at him, Percy picked up the map of Fiore that he had bought at the fair yesterday and searched for the location of the Fairy Tail guild.
According to it the guild was situated in Magnolia town which was about a weeks walk from their current location. On the hour hand he had no wish to travel on foot for at least a while again. But he thought he'd heard the whistling of train in the morning.
While the northern part of the Ishgararan Peninsula didn't have much transport facilities, he didn't know about this place. Quickly taking a bath, which energized him as usual he then shoved Natsu in the shower.
After telling him to be ready before he came back, Percy went down to enquire about the train system from the manager. As it turned about, there actually was a station which had trains going to all cities and villages in the country. The first train, as the Manager told him will leave in half an hour. Seeing no point in delaying their stays here, Percy rushed back into their room and quickly packed the possessions he had acquired during the months of his stay here. Natsu was ready and drying his hair with his magic. He grabbed natsu, paid the manager and ran all the way to the station after getting the direction.
Reaching the station, he stopped at the counter and brought two tickets to Magnolia. According to the man behind it was a five hours ride that was fine with him. He entered the train which was listed on the ticket with natsu curiously checking it out.
"Percy, what's this thing?"
When they were settled on their seats Percy replied, "It's a train, natsu. They help us to travel over large distance in less time."
Natsu decided he he loved the train, jumping up and down on it before it started moving. *
"I hate it." Natsu groaned after five minutes of train starting . "I forgot, Igneel warned me that Dragon slayers gets motion sickness from all type of transportation transportation."
Though Percy was amused when Natsu started turning green, he was disgusted when the Dragon slayer emptied his stomachs content though the window. He patted Natsu's shoulders as he rolled while holding his hands to his stomach..
This is going to be a long journey, Percy thought with a groan.
As the train reached the Magnolia Staton, a pink haired boy exited the coach and tried to walk straight before falling down and groaning, clutching his stomach. A black haired teen came out after him, shaking his head and picking him up and placing the kid on his feet.
Percy grudgingly treated Natsu in a bakery for putting him through torture as Natsu called it. After paying for the pastries they ate, they asked the Baker about Fairy Tail who pointed them in the right direction.
After walking for about ten minutes, they reached their destination. Percy had to say he was impressed. It was an imposing two story building with the guild insignia on the top. He said to natsu, "Are you ready?"
At Natsu's somewhat hesitant nod, Percy said, "I'm with you Natsu. It's going to be all right."
"Thank you, Percy." Natsu said, cracking a grin at him.
Smiling at that, Percy moved forward and pushed the guild doors open.
Whatever he may have expected of the guild, he didn't we expect a person to come flying at him whom he instinctively kicked off.
The mages stopped fighting in their spots when they noticed Macao get kicked into one of the table.
"Heh... Heh sorry about that. I just wanted to meet the master of this guild." The black haired new guy said running the back of his head sheepishly.
A short old man dropped from the bar counter in the back of the guild and strode forward. He looked up at black haired boy, "I am Master Makarov of Fairy tail guild. I hear you want to talk at me."
Percy managed masked his surprise from the man before him who was about as tall as Natsu. But Natsu who was still a child blurted out, "But he's so tiny Percy. How can he be the master..."
Percy quickly covered mouth before he got them in trouble and apologized, "I'm sorry Master Makarov, Natsu sometimes can be a bit brash."
But the old man just laughed, "It's alright child. Many make that mistake and now, who are you and how can I help you?"
Percy straightened up and said, "My name is Percy Jackson, Sir and this is my friend Natsu Dragneel. We would like to join your guild."
Makarov was quiet for a minute before he asked, "So what type of magic you two use?
Percy replied first, "I use Storm and sword magic and have some grasp over water magic."
Natsu piqued in, "And I use Fire Dragon slayer magic."
The old master hummed in thought, "Dragon slayer magic huh... A lost magic and another Swordsman" He smiled at the duo and said, " I suppose you two would be good additions to the guild."
Percy gave him a surprised look, "So, we can join the guild?,
Makarov gave him a smile and said," Of course. You two are welcome here ."
Turning towards the man Percy kicked earlier he said, "Macao! get the guild stamp here."
Macao, a man of average height work short dark blue hair came tottering towards them with a stamp in his hand. He gave Percy a grin, "That was some kick kid. You must be really strong."
Percy grinned back a him, "I manage."
Makarov stepped forward raising the stamp asked , "So Percy, where would like to get the guild stamp?"
Percy thought for a moment before rolling up his shirt up a little, much to the embarrassment of the two girls present who turned red at the sight of his defined muscles and said," I'd like it to be on my right ribcage."
Makarov pressed the stamp at the requested place and waited as the symbol glowed on Percy briefly before turning sea green with stormy blue outlines causing Percy to grin.
Natsu got a blood red guild mark just below his right shoulder.
Makarov said, "Now, that it's all over. Welcome to fairy tail. You two are welcome to sleep in the rooms here before you earn enough money to have your own place. I'll see you two brats later." With a last smile towards them Makarov left the guild hall.
Immediately a red haired girl in an armor took his place. Smiling friendly she offered her hand to Percy , "Hi. Welcome to fairy tail. My name is Erza Scarlet."
Shaking her hand, Percy gave his most charming smile to her causing her to blush slightly and said , "Hi Erza. My name is Percy Jackson. It's nice to meet you. And this is Natsu..."
Percy turned to introduce the dragon slayer, who was no longer there. Looking around, he saw his friend with a black haired guy about his age, arguing heatedly.
" Huh...You are so weird pinky."
A tick mark appeared on Natsu's forehead as he replied, "Who are you calling weird, You droppy eyed jerk."
"Shut up, Squinty eyes."
"At least, I'm not a Pervert."
"Wh... What?" and sure enough his shirt was missing. He got angry and rushed to Natsu with a fist raised before he got an armored boot on the head.
"Gray... Is that the way you behave towards a new guildmate? I hope this won't happen again." Erza said with steel in her voice. Gods when did she get there?
Gray was positively cowed when he stood up and even offered a reluctant apology to natsu.
Natsu who still didn't understand what was happening smirked at him, "You are pathetic, Scared by a girl." Natsu said taunting.
Gray though remained quiet. Erza turned towards Natsu and said, "I believe you will follow the guild rules and be polite to your guildmates"
Natsu just scoffed at her, " Why should I listen to you? It's not like I'm afraid of you like that Pervert."
For his credit Natsu didn't notice the dangerous aura around the Red haired female and continued ranting.
Percy sweatdropped when he noticed Erza moving towards his friend and winced when he was punched through the wall.
"Is it always like this here? " He asked the brown haired girl near him.
The girl smiled at him and replied, "Mostly. But you get used to it soon. My name is Cana Alberona." Cana said, offering her hand to Percy.
Percy shook her hand and said, "It's good to meet you, Cana. I'm Percy." With that Percy moved towards the wall to retrieve his friend.
Well, he was right.
Fairy Tail certainly was interesting.
