Prologue
In the land of Fiore there is a town called Magnolia. Magnolia is normally a town full of cheerful people, everyone goes about, doing their business, hoping a certain group of people will behave for a change. Not that they really mind the quirks of the guild in this town. No, having Fairytail in this town only makes it more lively. And that is exactly why it is so strange that it is so eerily quiet today. Not only in the town but in the guild itself. Now if you were to ask a random Fairytail member for the reason of this quietness, he or she would without a doubt answer it is because of the absence of a certain group of members. You see, Natsu, Happy, Gray, Erza and Lucy have been out on a long term mission. So without these members, the usual fighting is actually down to a minimum.
However, this does not explain the eerie feeling that has settled on the town. Sure it could simply be the depressing weather. But not a single person walks the streets, not a single bird flies through the sky. Even the buildings seem to hold their breath in wait of some sort of event.
One particular person in Fairytail has noticed this as well. She might not be the strongest, if one were to be honest she is not even really human. But one thing cannot be said about Charle, and that is that she is not perceptive. She takes her gaze away from the window and leaves the table where she and Wendy were having lunch. Wendy raises her eyebrows at her and Charle give a small nod. You see, Wendy had wanted to go with team Natsu on this mission, but Charle had insisted that Wendy would be needed in Magnolia. Her visions had been plaguing her again recently and Charle had finally managed to convince Wendy she should stay in Magnolia. Charle stood up and made her way to the Master, who was sitting in his usual place on the bar. He noticed her coming. "Is it happening?" he asked. Charle only nodded grimly. Makarov took a moment to let that sink in, then he turned to Mirajane. "Make the call, everyone out on a mission should return ASAP, also have Jet run to Porlyusica, she has agreed to come help." Mira simply nodded and turned to the chamber where the emergency contact lachryma was stored.
Meanwhile the streets of Magnolia were still absolutely quiet. Although there had been a change. On the train station there was an announcement that the train was having a delay due to damage to the train. Not that there was anyone there to hear it. Also the sky was no longer completely empty. If one has dragonslayers eyes, one could make out a tiny blue figure falling from the sky, besides it a bigger more humanlike figure, falling just a fast.
Back at the train there was absolute chaos, mages fighting to the death, other passengers trying to flee, or at least avoid becoming collateral damage. Fire, Ice, Arrows and all other kinds of magic flew through the air as three mages desperately tried to keep at least 50 others from following their fourth companion.
In the streets of magnolia there was finally some sound to be heard. The sounds of footsteps echoed through the town. Footsteps which seemed to be running for their life. Footsteps with only one direction. The rhythm was interrupted only once, when the figure in armor jumped up high to snatch two falling figures out of the sky and changed course. From then on the footsteps only went faster, the sound changing from metal on stone to padded shoes on stone. Erza knew it was a risk, changing her armor for an outfit that allowed her to run faster. If she wasn't fast enough she would get shot in the back, just like happy had just a minute ago. But time was running out as she could feel the life force of the heavily bleeding figure in her arms fading. As she turned the corner of the street the Fairytail building finally came into view, Erza couldn't suppress the sigh of relief when she saw some of the guild members in front, ready to hold off any pursuers. Erza pushed just a little harder as she willed herself to the front door of Fairytail.
The guild had become even more quiet now. No one was eating or drinking anything, in fact most of the members had gone out to defend magnolia from whatever danger Charle had felt coming. At first the members had been doubtfull of the little exceed's ability to see the future, but when they realized she had been right about Tenrou island they decided to believe her. Right now the only members inside the building were the master, Wendy, Charle, Mirajane and Porlyusica. They were all sitting on one table, the table next to them had all the supplies needed for a worst case scenario.
Suddenly the front doors were blasted open and Erza collapsed to her knees holding on to her burden as her life depended on it. The moment Charle saw the little blue figure in her arms she couldn't help herself, she flew right to the other exceed in the guild to see his back badly burned. Meanwhile Erza was fainting only managing to utter two words before darkness took her.
"wendy…..please…."
2 weeks earlier
It was a sunny day in Magnolia, business was going well and a young, blond girl made her way to the local guild, Fairytail. As usual she walked over the edge of de cannel, and as usual salesman from the boats warned her to be careful. Be careful Lucy-chan!" they called to her. Lucy just waved and smiled her sweet smile at them. Sure she wouldn't want to fall in the water, but in all the time she lived here, she never had. She really was looking forward to today. She had jewels for at least 5 months' rent and today she, Natsu, Erza, Gray and Wendy would decide on a mission to go on as a team. She hummed a happy tune as she walked into the guild only to be greeted by chaos. After dodging a few flying chairs she managed to make her way to were Mirajane and Lisanna were: behind the bar as usual. Lisanna had actually taken pretty well to tending the bar with Mirajane, which they now did together rather frequently."Good Morning Mira, Lisanna!" Lucy yelled over the noise. Both Strauss sisters turned to Lucy and greeted her a good morning as well. "so, what caused it this time?" Lisanna smiled and replied. "It seems Cana poured beer on Erza's cake, claiming it would taste better." Lucy was surprised, that would mean Cana was out of her mind, and that Erza had actually started it this time. "Morning Lu-chan" Lucy turned to see that Levy had also made it through the fight without any scratches. "Morning levy-chan, how are you today?" levy went to explain how well her day was and soon the two friends were in deep conversation.
As it was nobody noticed the front door open, or a trio coming in. as it was the three newcomers looked at the chaos in mild surprise before the one in the middle put his arm out and grabbed ons of the mages by the shoulder. "you know, Ur would be ashamed if she saw you brawling shamelessly like this, at least beat the crap out of the others…" gray turned to see Leon standing in the door opening. And with that one sentence he has effectively stopped all fighting in the guild. "you're one to talk, you couldn't even win in the Daimatou Enbu. " For a single tense moment Gray and Leon stared at each other, before they both grinned and fist bumped. "So why are you here?" gray wandered out loud. Leon's face turned serious. And he held up and envelope. "Weirdest S-class mission ever, paid massively, but all I had to do was make sure this got to your master." Gray raised an eyebrow at that, showing he thought it was fishy. Leon looked at him. "Yeah, that's what I thought too, but apparently the mission giver thought it very important it got here, she said that if I didn't trust her I could stay to hear what the letter said.
"well then you better give it to me." A voice suddenly sounded from the back of the guild. The master had taken place on top of the bar, right next to Lucy without her even noticing.
And that is how an triple s-class mission was delivered to Fairytail.
so that is it. i hope you liked it, if you did i would love te hear it, if you didn't, i probably wouldn't like to hear it, but it would help me become a better writer to tell me anyways;)
