Ginger: So, new story. This one is going to be for Fairy Tail, if you couldn't tell. A warning before reading, this story contains many OC's, whose full bio and such will be uploaded to my account page as they're introduced. If you aren't a fan of that, can't keep up with too many characters or just don't like OC's, please don't flame, just don't read.
Ginger: Now that the formal stuff is out of the way, let's get onto the story. Natsu, will you do the disclaimer?
Natsu: The Ginger Ninga does not own Fairy Tail or any characters and plots associated with them. This is a non-profit writing for entertain purposes only.
Ginger: So please don't sue me.
The Fairy Tail guild was full of its usual hustle and bustle, its various members talking and a few were brawling. The S class trails were coming up and many were trying to get missions to improve their chances of being picked. But there seemed to be a shortage of jobs over the past week, so even some of the more famous members were having difficulty getting work.
Natsu was leaning back on the hind legs of his chair, a look of exasperation on his face. "This is sooo boring! Why can't we get a job?" He was sitting at a table with three of his teammates, Lucy, Gray and Happy.
Happy, who was sitting next to Natsu, looked over his shoulder. "Um… Natsu, maybe you shouldn't sit like that."
Natsu looked over at his friend. "Why not? It's actually pretty comfo-" His question was answered when Erza walked up behind him and grabbed the back of his chair. She pushed it forward, slamming the front to legs back onto the ground. The action also made Natsu's face slam onto the table.
Erza had her arms crossed and started to berate Natsu once again. "How many times have I told you not to sit like that? You will fall and get hurt."
Natsu lifted his head from the table, a massive red mark on his forehead. "But I'm hurt now, so did that really hel-" He stopped talking after he saw the death glare Erza was giving him. She pulled up a chair and sat at the table. Lucy was the first to ask.
"Did Mirajane have anything?" They were talking about jobs, of course. Lucy's rent was due in a couple of days so they needed to find some work.
Erza nodded. She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it. She placed it on the table so they could read it. Gray read its contents aloud. "Attention all capable mages and warriors. The town Cedar has been having difficulties with a group of thieves that hides out in a nearby forest. Not all details can be contained in this request, so visit me if you are interested. I run the pawn shop near the village center."
"Not a bad job, it doesn't seem too difficult," Lucy looked at the bottom of the page. "And it pays rather nicely.
Happy flew over to Lucy, quickly swiping her purse. "Yeah Lucy, looks like you could use some money." He turned over the small pouch, shaking it to let its contents out. Only there weren't any. Happy was then forced to fly away from the angry girl.
Natsu and Gray were more than happy for a job that almost guaranteed a fight. With all the members in agreement, they started to head out. When they stepped out the door, Gray asked Erza. "Where exactly is Cedar?"
"It's a rather small port village south of Fiore's west mountain range." Natsu turned around.
"So how exactly are we going to get there? Seems like a long way to walk."
"Who said we were walking?" Natsu's happy mood disappeared when he realized that he was going to ride in a carriage.
Fiore Maximum Security Prison: Later that night
Two shadowy figures stood on the roof of Fiore's prison for the strongest and most dangerous wizards. While they were about that same height, that is where the similarities ended.
The man, whose jet black hair was in stark contrast to his pale face, wore a high collared maroon cloak that was worn from years of use. The cloak hid his chest and his uppers legs from being seen, but he wore black military pants with matching boots.
The woman, whose long purple hair managed to reach her hips, wore something much more different. Instead of the loose fitting cloak, she wore a suit of black leather armor that clung tightly to her. The cowl of the outfit was currently down. She was the first to speak.
"So, what exactly is the plan again?" Her accomplice let out a deep sigh.
"I already told you three times today."
"I know, but I forgot." She gave a cute smile, trying to make him give in.
He glared at her for a second, before sighing again. "The plan is to get inside the prison without raising the alarm, find the target without raising the alarm and get out without raising the alarm. Just so you know, not raising the alarm is the most important part." The girl just giggled.
"You worry too much Talbot. Keep that up and your blood pressure might get too high." She laughed at her little joke while Talbot just rolled his eyes. He lifted his hand and signaled for their two companions to join them. Two pairs of pointy ears appeared on a nearby roof before quickly flying over to them.
One managed to land gracefully on her feet while the other crashed into Talbot, knocking him over. He fell down onto his partner, who in turn fell on top of the one who landed properly. The purple cat at the bottom of the pile half-yelled, "Talbot. Amanita. Get off of me!"
The duo quickly got off of her, with Amanita apologizing. "Sorry Lily, it seems Talbot can't keep his hands off of me." She sent a small smirk in Talbot's direction, but he was too busy to see it.
He held the second cat upside-down by the tail, her eyes spinning around in her head. After setting her down on the ground he started to mildly scold her. "Now Kiara, we've practiced flying, haven't we?" A small nod. "So why did you crash into me?" No answer. Talbot shook his head. "I have never heard of an exceed that hasn't mastered flying by age 6." Amanita walked up behind him, Lily sitting in the little pocket her cowl made.
"Most people haven't even heard of an exceed in the first place." She bent down and picked up the dark green cat. "Has your daddy been mean to you?" Kiara nodded. Amanita gave a stern look to Talbot, who just looked offended. "I guess mommy is going to have to teach him a lesson when we get home. In the meantime, I need you to stay here with your sister, and if anything happens, fly back home. Get help from the guild, ok?" She set her down before picking up Lily and setting her down next to her. She leaned in close and whispered into their ears. "Stay safe, we'll be back soon."
Talbot, who had given up on that whole fiasco, was standing at the edge of the roof. He had been looking for a way in, and found one. Amanita walked up to him. He pointed to an unguarded door near them. "We can get in through there. Just hope we don't get seen."
Amanita laughed. "You worry too much." With that, she jumped at him, forcing him to catch her bridal style.
"What are you doing?" Talbot didn't like where this was going.
Amanita just tilted her head. "You're the only one who can survive the fall unscathed. So it's only natural that you carry me." She said innocently.
Talbot rolled his eyes at her. "You're lucky I like you." With that Amanita smiled as Talbot jumped off the edge of the building.
Ginger: So there is the first chapter. I'm going to say this now, a bit of the story won't be focusing on Fairy Tail. The next chapter will barely have anything with them, so be prepared. The first three chapters will be uploaded one day after another, then on every Sunday. Going to see if a schedule helps me from randomly stopping. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story, and if you do, please leave a review or favorite or something. Makes me feel happy when I see people enjoying my work.
Ginger: Almost forgot, I changed my pen name! As much as I liked the old one, I started going by this on other websites so I thought it would be easier to remember. So KH3 FTW is now The Ginger Ninga.
