AN: I do not own Fairy Tail. I do however own the OCs that exist in this fanfic.

(Magnolia Town, X784 12:00 PM)

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Came the voice of Happy, the blue cat.

Finally, Fairy Tail. I've finally reached the greatest wizard guild in all of Fiore. The wizard guild that I'm going to join. My excitement was cut off however, when Natsu decided to kick down the door.

"We made it back alive!" Natsu yelled out as he entered the guild hall.

"We're home!" Happy exclaimed.

The place was so alive. You could easily tell that everyone was having a good time.

"So, I heard you went all out in Hargeon Natsu. Had to go and start troub-" The guy with the buck teeth didn't get to finish as Natsu kicked him across the room. What the heck did he do that for?!

"You lied about that Salamander! I'm gonna kick your butt." Natsu said.

"Don't get mad at me! I'm not the one to blame here. I'm just passing along a rumor I heard!" I don't think that's a very good excuse.

"It was just a rumor?!" And another fight begins.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that Natsu gets in a lot of fights. And looking at everyone's reactions in the guild hall to the chaos going on, I'd say I'm right.

"Now, now Natsu. I think you need to calm dow-AHHHH!" And there goes the cat.

Soon enough, the entire guild was in on the fight. Yup, definitely alive.

"Oh wow. I'm actually standing inside the Fairy Tail guild hall." Lucy said in astonishment.

"And you're not in the least bit concerned about the fight going on?" I question her. Did everyone's sanity just go out the window?

"So Natsu finally made it back huh?!" A guy exclaimed. As I looked in his direction, I noticed he... had no clothes on. Yup, out the window.

"It's time we settled things once and for all."

"Gray, your clothes?" The voice came from a woman, drinking at the bar.

"I don't have time for that!" He said back.

"*SIGH* You see, I don't date the men here because they have no class." And she started downing an entire barrel of alcohol. Then I noticed Lucy freaking out.

"Oh! This gets your attention, but not the all out brawl? Good to know." I sarcastically said.

The brawl, of which, just continued. That's when someone came walking in our direction.

"It's only noon, and you boys are already whining like spoiled babies!" Hey, maybe this guy can stop the fight.

"I'm a real man. Want me to prove it to you?"

*POW*

Or not.

"They knocked him out that easily?" Lucy asked.

"Apparently so." I responded.

"Geez, it's so noisy around here huh?" A guy with bright orange hair behind us had said.

Then he got hit in the head with a bottle.

"Are you alright?" One of the women with him had asked out of worry.

"I'm gonna go fight, but only to protect you two." Right, sure you are.

"What the heck is wrong with these people? There's not one sane person in the whole place." I figured that out the moment we got here.

"Hello. Are you two new here?" Lucy immediately started fawning when she saw who it was that spoke.

"That's Mirajane, in the flesh!"

The aforementioned woman merely giggled at the reaction.

Lucy remembered the fight going on, "Um, don't you think we should try to stop them or something?"

"Yeah, this is kinda getting out of hand." I agreed.

"It's always like this around here. I'd just leave them alone." She said dismissively, "Besides-"

*CRASH*

Mirajane was thrown across the room. And the two of us just stood there, dumbstruck.

"-it's kind of fun, don't you think."

"Ahh! Don't die Mirajane!" Lucy cried.

Lucy then got tackled by the guy with no clothes. Who now had... no underwear!

"Excuse me miss. Can I please borrow your underwear?" Did he really just ask her for her underwear?!

As she whacked him away, the guy with the bright orange hair picked Lucy up bridal style. Only to be punched away by the 'real man'. Who then was kicked by Natsu.

"That's enough you guys. I suggest that you knock it off." The woman at the bar activated her magic with a card.

"Oh yeah, says who?" The stripper activated his own magic. Why do I have the feeling this is going to end badly?

The 'real man' used Take Over magic to turn his arm into stone. Soon enough, both the orange-haired guy and Natsu activated their own magic as well.

More fighting? What's with all the fighting?

*BOOM*

"Would you fools stop bickering like children?!" The voice of a giant boomed through the guild hall.

"He's huge!" Lucy said. Yeah, no kidding!

The entire guild hall just stopped and an awkward silence filled the room.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were still here master." Mirajane said in an all to calm voice.

...

...

Wait.

"Did you say master?!" Both me and Lucy questioned. This guy was their master? He's huge!

Natsu started laughing and insulting the other guild members. Which only got him squashed by the giant.

"Well, seems we've some new recruits." The giant proclaimed as he looked in our direction.

"Yes sir." Lucy cried.

"Uh, hehe. Actually, I was just leaving." I tried walking away until I saw the giant shrink.

And shrink.

And shrink.

And shrink.

Until he was a small man in orange and blue clothes, a white mustache, and aging hair.

"Nice to meet ya." The small man greeted us.

"He's tiny. This little guy's really in charge here?!" Lucy wondered.

"Of course he is. Allow me to introduce the Fairy Tail's guild master, Makarov." Mirajane answered.

Makarov then jumped off to the second floor, hitting the railing on his way up.

Standing up, he addressed the entire guild, "Ahem. You've gone and done it again, you bunch of clods! Just take a look at how much paperwork the Magic Council sent me this time. This is the biggest pile of complaints yet! Have you lost your minds?! All you kids are good for is getting the higher ups mad at me!"

Everyone in the guild looked down.

"However, " He started again. He set the papers on fire, "I say to heck with the Magic Council."

He threw the flaming paper in the air, to which Natsu jumped up and gobbled it down.

"Now listen up. Any power that surpasses reason, still comes from reason, right? Magic isn't some kind of miraculous power. It is a talent that only works when the flow of energy inside of us and the flow of energy in the natural world are in perfect synchronization. To perform magic, one must have a strong mind and the ability to focus. It should take over your being and come pouring out of your soul. If all we do is worry about following rules, then our magic will never progress. Don't let those blowhards on the Council scare you. Follow the path you believe in! 'Cuz that's what makes the Fairy Tail guild number one!"

As the speech ended, everyone raised their fingers up high in celebration.

"Now that's a speech." I thought to myself.

(Fairy Tail Guild Hall, X784 12:30 PM)

After getting my Fairy Tail mark on my right wrist, Master Makarov wanted to speak with me privately. Apparently mentioning that my last name was Blakk raised a few eyebrows. We stopped when we reached the end of the bar.

"So, you Daglyn Blakk's son are you?" This is going to be bad.

"Master Makarov, I know how this may look, but I promise-" I tried to finish, but he cut me off.

"Just answer the question."

"Yes sir. I am Daglyn Blakk's son." I answered him.

"I see." He said simply.

"I know this looks bad, but I want nothing to do with him. In fact, as far as I'm concerned-" He cut me off again by raising his hand.

"That's enough. If what you say is true, and you want nothing to do with your old man, then we'll leave it at that. After all, the past is the past. And that's where it should be." I was confused as to why he wasn't going to treat me like a virus, but I was grateful nonetheless.

I thanked him and started walking away. That is, before he spoke up again.

"However, " I turned back around expecting the worst. What I saw instead, was him smiling, "You're welcome to invite your sister here whenever you like. I'm sure there are plenty of wizards here who would love to meet her."

I looked back in the direction I was walking to see a bunch of excited smiles coming my way.

Now, you may be wondering why Master Makarov was worried about me being Daglyn Blakk's son. Well, it has to do with the fact that Daglyn Blakk is a dark wizard. In the year X767, two months before I was born, he murdered thirty wizards. And ever since then, he's been killing more and more wizards. The Magic Council had him locked up in X775, be he escaped using the same magic I use. Now, you may be thinking, what's the big deal? All dark wizards do this. What makes him different? Well, to answer your question, what separates Daglyn Blakk from the other dark wizards is that he not only murdered countless wizards, but he also murdered his own parents and wife. Yeah, three years after I was born, Daglyn came back to my mother, only to murder her. My older sister, Kyra Blakk, and my older brother, Leon Blakk, took me away to somewhere safe. I don't remember where but we stayed there for a few years until we had to move. And this cycle kept on repeating until I was twelve years old, when Leon left. Kyra had left us when I was eight. Ever since I turned twelve and Leon left me, I've been working odd jobs for random people. But now I'm in Fairy Tail, and everything's going to change for me.

And about why everyone was excited about having the chance to meet my sister, Kyra. Ever since she left in X775, Kyra has been training on her own with magic, getting stronger and more powerful. She uses a type of Lost Magic called Essence. In fact, she's gotten so strong, that even the Magic Council believes she'd be easily classified as an S-Class wizard. That is, if she ever decides to join a guild. Also, she's so popular in the wizard community, that Sorcerer Weekly has gotten a few pictures of her. Though, very few. Leon, on the other hand, decided to join a dark guild and follow in our father's footsteps. To be honest, that's all I know from him. We haven't contacted each other in years. Kyra, however, sends me a letter every week, telling me about her travels, her accomplishments, and of course, hoping I'm doing well. I sure do miss them.

My thoughts were diverted when a little boy spoke up to Makarov.

"How come my dad hasn't come back yet?" He asked.

"You're starting to work my nerves Romeo. You're a wizard's son. Have faith in your father and wait patiently for him." Was Makarov's answer.

"But sir, he told me he'd be back in three days. And he's been gone for over a week now!" He exclaimed. Poor kid.

"If I remember correctly, he took the job on Mount Hakobe." The master said.

"That's right, and it's not that far from here. So why won't somebody go look for him?!" The boy questioned the old man.

"Listen kid, your old man's a wizard. And like every other wizard in this guild, he can take care of himself! Now go home, have some milk and cookies, and wait!" Wow, talk about harsh.

The boy simply punched the guy square in the nose.

"I hate you all!" The boy cried as he ran out of the guild.

"That's gotta be tough." You have no idea Lucy.

"I know it sounds like the master doesn't care, but he really is worried." Mirajane tried to explain before Natsu punched a hole in the request board and started walking out of the guild.

"This doesn't look good master. You know how he can be. I bet he's going up to Mount Hakabe to save Macao." The guy with skulls wrapped around his neck and waist said.

"When is that kid ever going to grow up?" The buck-tooth guy from earlier asked.

"Who knows? Going after Macao isn't going to do anything except hurt his pride." The skull guy responded.

"Remember Nab, we can't choose another's path. Just leave him be." Makarov said simply.

"Why did Natsu get so upset?" Lucy wondered.

"Probably because he and Romeo have a lot in common. I think he 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 fair share of suffering and loss." Mirajane responded in sadness.

"There's nothing 'fair' about it." Was the only thing I said before I walked out of the guild as well.

(Mount Hakobe X784 2:45 PM)

"Why'd you two come with us?" Natsu asked. It looked like he was about to lose his lunch, breakfast, and last night's dinner.

"I thought maybe I could help." Was her answer. I however, decided not to answer the question, "Wow, you really do have serious case of motion sickness, don't you? It's just another reason to feel sorry for you."

"Huh, what's that supposed to mean?" Natsu questioned.

"Oh, nothing. Forget I said anything." She quickly replied.

"Smooth Lucy." I whispered to her.

"Oh, shut up." She said back.

A long moment of quiet washed over the wagon, with Lucy looking down in sadness and Natsu wishing he wasn't in the wagon. I was left with my own thoughts, about when I'll be able to see my siblings again, what would have happened if our mother wasn't killed, among other things.

Soon the wagon stopped.

"I guess we're there." Lucy said.

"Alright! We've stopped moving!" Natsu jumped up in excitement with fire coming out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry. But this is as far as I can get you." The driver said.

Opening the back of the wagon, we saw that we were in the middle of a snow storm.

"Where the heck are we Natsu?! It's a frozen wasteland." Lucy cried.

"I can barely see a thing in this storm!" I exclaim.

(Mount Hakobe X784 3:10)

"Why is it so cold? I know we're on a mountain, but it's summer right now. There shouldn't be a blizzard like this anywhere!" Lucy said.

"That's what you get for wearing light clothing." Natsu remarked. Yeah, I guess I'm lucky I'm wearing a hoodie.

"Oh, please, you're not dressed for it. Now hand over that blanket!" Well, she's determined.

"She just keeps on talking huh?" Natsu asked.

"Aye." Was the only response from Happy.

"Oh I know." Then she got an idea. An awful idea. Lucy got a wonderful, awful idea. (AN: I apologize for the previous line. But it had to be done. XD) She pulled out a silver key. I only just recently learned that she was a Celestial Wizard. I also learned that I can't re-form a Celestial Wizard's silver keys, despite them being silver.

"Open, gate of the clock constellation! Horologium!" A giant grandfather clock just fell out of the sky.

"A clock. Woah." Natsu said astonished.

"That is so cool." Happy exclaimed.

"Yeah, no kidding." I agreed.

That's when I saw her trying to speak in the clock, but I couldn't hear her.

"Wait, I can't hear you." Natsu informed her.

"I don't think any of us are supposed to hear her." I said.

"She says 'I'm staying in here and I'm not coming out'." The clock said. Wait, the clock talks? Okay, weird factor just went up.

"Then why'd you tag along?" Natsu and I questioned her.

"'What kind of crazy job would force Macao to come to a place like this?' She inquires." The clock informed us. This is going to get confusing.

"You should have asked that before you came with us." Natsu said simply.

"He went to slay a Vulcan. It's a big monster." Lucy immediately adopted a look of worry.

"'I want to go back to the guild.' She proclaims." The clock said.

"Go ahead and be my guest, I say back." Do I even need to say that he said that? I'm confused.

Anyways, we continued our trek to find Macao.

"Macao! Where are you?!" Natsu yelled out into the endless void that was Mount Hakobe.

"Uh, Natsu? I don't thin that's going to work." I told him.

That's when something came crashing down on us. Standing back up, I saw it looked like a giant monkey.

"That's a big Vulcan!" Happy cried.

"Wait, that's a Vulcan?!" That thing's creepy.

The Vulcan then ran off in the direction we had just come from. Natsu tried calling to it but the Vulcan just continued.

"Me like human woman." The monkey... talked?

"So it can talk huh?" Natsu asked.

"Apparently so." I said simply.

"'Don't just stand there! Hurry up and save me!' She yells furiously." The clock informed us.

"Yeah, even if you tell us that, it doesn't sound very convincing." And so we chase after the Vulcan.

(Mount Hakobe X784 3:50)

It had taken us a while but we were finally able to find the cave that the Vulcan had taken Lucy. I was going to come up with a plan, but Natsu thought it was better to charge right in.

"Is he always like this?" I asked.

"Always." Happy answered simply.

"*SIGH* Come on. Let's go stop him before he does something stupid." I said.

"Aye." The blue cat replied.

We then heard a voice screaming from above us.

"-EEEEY!" And now he's below us.

"So much for stopping him." I facepalmed.

Happy used his magic to sprout wings from his back and race down the mountainside to save Natsu. As he came back up, I had only one question.

"You were outsmarted, by a monkey?"

"Hey, I thought he was going to lead me to Macao, okay?!" He complained.

"Sure. Hey Happy?" I directed towards the now flying cat.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"You think you can carry one more?" I asked.

"Aye, sir." And so I grabbed onto Natsu's feet as we flew back up to the Vulcan's cave.

As we neared the cave, we heard several crashes. When we reached the cave, Natsu kicked what looked like... a giant cow?

"Hey. So how come there are more monsters now than when I left?" Natsu questioned.

"He's a friend dummy! One of my spirits!" Lucy yelled furiously.

"That guy?" Natsu asked, looking at the monkey.

"Not him! The bull!" Lucy corrected him.

"In other words, he still did something stupid." I said to myself.

"Wait a minute. How were you able to survive out there?" Simple, Happy.

"Hmm? Heh, Happy came to save me. Thanks little buddy." Natsu thanked the blue cat.

"So you can't handle other modes of transportation, but flying with Happy's okay?" Bad choice of words Lucy.

"What kind of stupid question is that? Happy isn't a mode of transportation. He's my friend. I mean duh." Natsu sounded disgusted.

"You're right. It was totally wrong of me to compare the two." Lucy apologized.

"Uh guys? Don't you think we should pay attention to the monkey in the room?" I asked them.

At that moment, the Vulcan tried attacking us, saying something about 'His woman'. Natsu stopped the attack though, with only his arm.

"You listen up. I consider everyone in the Fairy Tail guild my friend." The monkey kicked Natsu away from him.

Blocking the attack, Natsu continued his speech, "Whether it's Gramps and Mira, or even those annoying jerks, Gray and Elfman."

The Vulcan came charging at Natsu.

"Happy and Lucy too. And even Aron. They're all my friends! Which is why, " Natsu activated one of his spells, punching the monkey, "I'm not leaving without Macao!"

As the Vulcan crashed through the ceiling, a bunch of icicles came down. Clapping his hands, the giant white monkey sent the icicles in Natsu's direction.

"Your ice attack has no effect on fire!" Natsu exclaimed.

When the dust cleared, we saw that the Vulcan now had the bull's axe.

"That's not good." Natsu said stating the obvious.

"He got Taurus's axe!" So that's the bull's name. Good to know.

The Vulcan tried to slice Natsu in half with the axe but failed as Natsu dodged every attack. That's when Natsu slipped. Yes, he slipped. As the monkey started to swing the axe down on Natsu, I ran towards the monkey.

*KLING*

The axe came in contact with my silver bracelets.

"Fine. You want to fight with weapons? You got it!" I activated one of my spells.

"Metal Morph: Goliath's Hammer!"

As my signature white spell ring appeared, the metal of my bracelets started to re-form. Into a giant hammer, around three times my size.

*CRASH*

The monkey went flying into a wall as I swung my hammer at him. Standing back up, the monkey charged straight at me.

"Ha. Too easy." I grinned to myself as I activated another spell.

"Metal Morph: Great Wall!" My hammer then re-formed into the giant wall I had used when I saved Natsu and Lucy from the guards.

The monkey ran straight into the metal wall with so much force, I could see the imprint of his face on the other side. Walking to the other side of the wall, I saw the Vulcan was twitching, and then fell to the floor.

"Ouch." I said simply as I re-formed the wall into my bracelets.

"We beat him!" Happy exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, but wasn't this monkey supposed to tell us where Natsu's friend is?" She asked. Wait, what?

"Uh, hehe. Oops?" I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.

"Well, I don't think he's gonna do much talking." Lucy said.

The Vulcan then started glowing. And then it exploded. We all had to cover our eyes from the explosion.

"What in the heck was that?" Natsu wondered. He immediately got his answer when he saw what was in the place of the giant ape.

"Macao?!"

"Are you telling me that big, perverted monkey was actually your friend this whole time?!" Lucy questioned.

"Yeah, he must have been taken over by that Vulcan." Happy said.

"Apparently so." I agreed.

"What do you mean 'taken over'?" Lucy asked.

"It must have used a possession spell on him. You see, Vulcan's survive by stealing people's bodies and taking them over. They're evil body snatchers!" He explained.

(Mount Hakobe X784 4:20 PM)

"It looks like he put up a good fight before that Vulcan finally got to him though." Either that, or the marks are from us fighting him. Man, that'd be hard to think about.

"Macao! Don't you die on me. Romeo's waiting for you! Open your eyes!" Natsu tried to wake him up.

"Natsu." The man spoke.

"You're okay!" Natsu exclaimed. I breathed a sigh of relief, the guy's still alive after that beating he took.

"I'm so pathetic. I defeated nineteen of those brutes." He said.

Wait... nineteen! And he's saying he's 'pathetic'?! I'd be lucky if I was able to take down five Vulcans. Heck, you even cracked my bracelets. That's gonna take a while to fix. Looking down at my bracelets, there was a small crack on each of them.

"But the twentieth. That's the one that got me. I'm so angry with myself, embarrassed to go home and face Romeo." He said pitifully.

"Don't be like that. Come on man, you beat nineteen monsters." Natsu tried cheering him up.

"Nastu's right. You shouldn't put yourself down over one mishap. I was always told that if you get knocked down, just stand back up and fight harder. You shouldn't give up. Especially when you have someone loyal to you, like your son." I told him.

The man merely smiled.

"Sounds good." He said as he grabbed Natsu's hand.

"Good. Now let's go home. Your little boy's been waiting for you." Natsu said.

I then noticed a scary look on Lucy's face, as if she was going to hurt someone.

(Magnolia Town, X784 7:35 PM)

We had finally reached Magnolia with Macao hanging on both Natsu and I. And to say that Romeo was happy when he saw his dad again would be an understatement. In fact, it was more than happy, it was... it was, I don't even think there's a word for how happy he was.

"Dad!" Romeo tackled his father, "You came back. I'm so sorry dad."

"No, I'm sorry for making you worry." Macao apologized.

"I can handle it, because I'm a wizard's son!" The boy said.

"Next time those bullies pick on you, here's what I want you to say," We didn't stick around to hear the rest. After all, this was a family thing. We didn't need to get involved anymore.

As we were walking down the street, we heard the kid yelling at us, "Natsu! Happy! Thanks for your help!"

"No prob kiddo." Natsu replied back.

"Lucy! Aron! thanks for helping 'em bring my daddy back to me!" Romeo thanked us.

Lucy turned and waved at Romeo while I gave him a thumbs up.

You know what, family's great to have around. No matter the circumstances, they'll always be there for you. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Once I get home, I'll write to my siblings, tell them all about Fairy Tail, and about how much I miss them. Leon too, even if he won't write back. Because he's family, and that's what family does.

Second chapter is finished. Wow, an actual episode-length chapter.

First off, allow me to explain Essence Magic. As said in the chapter, Essence Magic is a Lost Magic. The user of this magic takes the rawest and purest form of magic and utilizes it in any way they wish. This may include growing plants to excessive sizes, stopping other wizards' magic at the drop of a hat, or even bringing inanimate objects to life. However, because it is so powerful, it takes a heavy toll on the user. Even S-Class wizards have complications using this magic.

Also, yay for spell names! In fact, here's a list of the spells Aron has already used.

Goliath's Hammer: The metal the wizard is using re-forms into a giant hammer approximately three times their own size. It is really heavy and really powerful.

Great Wall: The user's metal re-forms into a large wall. Good for keeping enemies at bay. As long as they can't fly, or dig, or bust their way through solid metal.

Monkey's Staff: A small reference to Sun Wukong, A.K.A. the Monkey King, a Chinese deity. The metal becomes a sturdy yet flexible staff, of which the user is able to change the length/height when needed. Can also be used as a weapon.

Silver Shield: The user re-form's their metal into a large shield. The user is also able to extend this shield all the way around their body.

And, thanks to these people for favoriting and/or following this story: Derpulies, FrozenWulf13, PsychoEmperor, courtsons, drakord, kaizero6, and Energy Dragon Slayer.
