First Adventure

(Previously)

Natsu visibly shook "... even if he asked you how could you … YOU PROBABLY LOVED IT"! In an instant a knee encased in raging gale force winds buried itself in Natsu's chest "TEMPEST DRIVE"! The wind exploded throwing Natsu through the wall into the field making the guild jump up on instinct. "Natsu I understand you're hurting right now watching your friends get hurt and not be able to help them but … if you ever say that again you won't get a chance to avenge them". He walked out of the guild walking by everyone and pushing away Buck "I'll be in the men's dorm".

The group stared over the ocean as the sun disappeared "now you guys know the game plan … go and grab a quest and make some headlines". Shade chuckled "and I guess you'll stay here with that cute redhead". Gale chuckled giving him a sly high five "hey … there's just something so … different about her". The group of mages dispersed leaving Gale with his thoughts "... I can feel this guild is gonna change the plan somehow".

(Now The Next Day)

Gale woke up in a barren room with just a bed and a table where his necklace laid. He swung his legs over the bed standing up "time to start the day". He showered himself and dressed in his normal attire putting the necklace on tucking it under his shirt. He looked at his new guild mark "... we can't forgive them". He walked out the front door to the main living space of their building.

"Ummmmmm should you all be here"?

Gale looked at team Natsu all talking and chatting as Natsu walked over to Gale "... i'm sorry about yesterday". Gale put on a smile and patted Natus on his shoulder "hey man … I understand where you're coming from". Erza walked up giving him a smile "we thought going on a quest would alleviate some tension". Gale nodded as she handed him a couple pages "you want me to choose"? The group nodded letting him read through them seeing mostly A-rank "... I see their is an S-Rank … but we only have one S-ranked mage on the team".

Lucy stood up giving a short sigh "we know that us five don't stand much of a chance against SS-Class mages … but if we can find out more about them maybe someone else can find them". Gale nodded "well if we wanna find out more about them … then we should take a pit stop to the village with the destroyed chapel". Natsu scoffed "why would we go to that place we already know what happened". Gale chuckled "well if we find out why they did it … then maybe we can find out more about them". Erza smiled nodding along with him "Gale is right … we don't know anything about them … even going to other dark guilds might not help".

Gale interjected stepping forward "the S-Class quest is to take down a know Dark guild … I assume you think Chaos Theory is partnered with other dark guild". The group nodded letting him continue "but this guild has four main people to our knowledge … and they clearly want people to know of their existence … that's not a real Dark Guild's M.O". Grey stood up showing off his underwear "well it's at least a start … but I agree we should find out what the villagers know".

Erza smiled pushing her hair behind her ear "then it's decided we will go take down this dark guild and find out more about the destroyed chapel". Gale smiled grabbing a small rucksack "then I guess we should head out … and maybe learn more about each other". They all nodded picking up their bags and walking out leaving the city.

(At the Guild Hall)

Makarov looked around the guild seeing the troublemakers were all absent "Mira where is Natsu and the others"? Mira smiled up at him feeling most of the guild looking over at her "well Light, Shade, and Buck all left for a A-Rank mission to clear out a village of some monsters". Makarov smiled "already working on their magical career good for them … what of Gale". MIra pulled out an extra flyer for the S-rank quest "he went along with Natsu and the others to take down a dark guild". Cana piped in with a drunk giggle "that guy gives me the creeps… they all do".

The guild looked over at her in surprise "what do you mean Cana … the new members all seem nice and strong"? Cana looked around seeing everyone agree with Mira "... well they show up right after that new dark guild show up … and they definitely are very strong". Makarov stroked his small beard "you are right … and I'm ashamed to say that I thought of that as well … what i'm about to say will stay confidential between this room understood". Everyone nodded listening closely "Gildarts and I quickly looked into them after the Natsu incident … and we uncovered some disturbing things from their past".

Makarov continued as he sat on the railing "... from the little we know all four of them have had a rocky relation with guilds". He sighed as continued "Gale was a slave… used as a magical battery at the same tower that Erza was kept in … when he escaped the magic council found him … along with over 30 dead dark mages". The guild gasped as Cana stood up "then why the hell is he out with the others"! Makarov gave a sad sigh "he had a hard young life … everyone here has their own demons … and we don't blame anyone for having them … from what I have seen he has had a hard life and just wants a real family".

The guild went silent all of them thinking on the words "the council tried sending him to multiple guilds … one being Blue Pegasus and each time he ran from them due to … fear". Elfman stepped forward along with Lisanna "what fears … Blue Pegasus is a great guild"? Makarov chuckled "they are … but it's hard to trust someone after what he went through … I contacted Bob and asked him about Gale… he said he was an amazing wizard and very kind… but he wouldn't let anyone in making it hard to help him heal".

Makarov quickly switched his attention to Buck "the others are somewhat unknown … except for Buck". Levy chuckled "Buck is really nice … what could he have done to make us warrant not trusting him". Makarov groaned "it's not something he did … when Buck was a child … Laxus took a quest that involve a dark guild Buck's father was apart of … and he seriously injured his father". The thunder Legion all looked for each other giving guilt looks as Makarov explained more "his father was killed in prison … though Buck was never apart of the dark guild and has always condemned what his father did … a death of a parent isn't one someone forgets".

The guild all stayed quite letting the past sink in "as Master you all know that I would never allow someone dangerous to join this family … but I think these four kids are finally trying to let others in … and I think as their guild we owe them to trust them … at least a little". Everyone nodded thinking about the new recruits and the prospect of them being broken.

(With Team Natsu)

The group walked through a thick forest opting not to travel by wagon due to Natsu's illness. Lucy broke the silence "so Gale tell us about yourself… unless you don't want to". Gale nodded with a smile "well when I was young my family was killed by a group of bandits … and my mother hid me in the forest to stop them from taking me… which is how Tempest found me". The group all looked over interested not wanting to stop him from talking "after Tempest found me he raised me from a baby … he taught me everything their was to know about life … when I was older he implanted a lacrima inside me to help me learn his magic better".

Natsu lit up in glee "wait so you have a dragon lacima and you were raised by a dragon … that's amazing". Gale laughed nodding along "yeah … he was… when I became around 9 or 10 he told me that one day I would have to fight him … and kill him". Erza rested her hand on his shoulder trying to alleviate some of his sadness. "Heh… he told me that I had to because it would unlock my true power … and it did … during our fight all the emotion got to me and I went into Dragon Force… I beat him and gave him one last hug before he passed away… he told me the world was a scary place and I needed to learn that quickly".

Natsu visibly toned down "I am so sorry I … I said you did that for fun". Gale patted his back "no your fine … he was right though … after I left him I met a small group of what I thought were nice merchants … but after I told them my small past they showed their true colors and locked a magic collar on me that stopped me from using my magic … and took me as a slave to a terrible place". Erza gripped his shoulder making him turn to her "... was this place … a large tower in the middle of the ocean"? Gale nodded looking over to her "yeah … they called it the Tower of Heaven… they kept me in the top of the tower and used my magical reserves as a battery".

Everyone slowed down remembering the tower they all fought at "um Gale… when I was a child I was also a slave in that very tower". Gale stopped looking at Erza "I'm so sorry … I didn't mean to bring up bad memories". Erza gave a small smile as he held her shoulder "no… actually a few months ago we destroyed the tower along with the rest of the slavers". Gale froze thinking about the place that he swore to destroy one day "well … that actually makes me feel great".

They all smiled continuing their walk to the village where the chapel was destroyed. Gale looked off into the distance seeing a large crater "we're here". The others looked at him in confusion "how do you know". Gale looked over at Lucy "I can see the crater … and the shrine in front of it". Natsu looked forward cupping his eyes "he's right … there's a group at the shrine … crying". Gale looked away 'why the hell is there a shrine … it was a chapel of dark mages… did the town not know'.

They continued to walk letting the others see the crater as they got closer making Lucy cover her mouth "how could someone do this". Gale gained a dark look "that's what we're here to find out". The walked through the large wooden entrance seeing people all over walking around teary eyed. Gale split from the group looking back "let's split up and see what we can find out". They all nodded splitting up and talking to people around the town.

(With Gale)

Gale walked through the village looking around seeing everyone crying "they had to know … or at least have a feeling". He walked around more seeing a tavern quickly walking in "if you want information go to a pub". He closed the door behind him seeing no one paying much attention. He walked over to the bar and set down a small sack full of jewels "i'll take something strong … and some information". The barkeep chuckled setting down a large mug full of mead "what kind of information… mage"? Gale smiled taking a big swig from the mead "I have some inside info that says the chapel the got destroyed wasn't exactly full of good people".

The bar went quite looking over at Gale making him go on guard still listening to the barkeep. "Listen here Mage… you walked into a town you know nothing about … you should leave". Gale looked around seeing people stand up "well … let me take a shot in the dark … you were all part of the dark guild". The barkeep lifted his his sleeve showing a black skull "how do you know about the chapel"? Gale downed the rest of his mead and looked at the barkeep straight in the eye "because I'm the one that killed your scum friends".

Before Gale could react a knife planted itself in his hand pinning it to the table "then let us return the favor". Gale looked over seeing a beautiful girl with long wild pink hair smiling at him "you some important person in the guild"? He bit at his tongue hiding the pain emanating from his his hand. She smiled slamming her hand on his hand "you're looking at one of the 3 swords of Zeref". Gale screamed out falling from his chair cutting his hand more "OK… you really got me with the knife but what next"?

She smiled as the barkeep placed his hand on Gale's chest "Explosive Magic: Rocket Man"! Gales shirt grew bright orange with a dark orange Magic Circle hovering over the spot "shit".

(With the others)

Erza watched Gale walk off smiling as he heading for the bar "well that is a good place for information". She walked over to the shrine along with Lucy seeing a small group of people sitting at the shrine looking over the pictures of the dead. Lucy kneeled down to a smaller lady "excuse me miss … we're from Fairy Tail and we want to try and find out why this happened". The lady looked up at her shifting her cloak "I wish I could tell you … but we have no idea … the people inside the church were good people".

Erza looked down at her not completely buying what she said "did you feel any ominous magic in the air that night"? The women stood up letting her cloak slip showing a small part of what looked like a black mark "yeah I did in fact … the explosion that killed my husband". She yelled out the last part making Erza and Lucy step back in shock as she walked away. Lucy looked back at Erza "Erza did you see that mark … looked kind of like a guild mark". Erza nodded "I did … but there isn't a guild anywhere near here … at least not an official".

As they continued to talk trying to figure out what was going on an explosion shook the ground. Lucy was the first one to react grabbing onto Erza "what the hell was that... it sounded like an explosion"? Erza looked up to the sky seeing a body fly through the air "OH MY GOD … THAT'S GALE"! Both of the girls watched helpless as his body crashed down into a food cart destroying it sending wood everywhere. Erza ran over seeing Gale's body lie on the ground "GALE"!

From the back of the town more explosions went off along with fire and Ice flying through the air. Lucy looked around seeing the town all tuned on them pulling out clubs and knives "what's going on here"?! Erza quickly kneeled down seeing Gale's hand had a large hole through it "Gale get up"! Gale felt the world come back to him seeing his shirt was in tatters 'my guild mark is still hidden … where's my necklace'? He turned over seeing Erza "the whole town is full of dark mages".

She froze seeing his chest was bleeding all over "we need to get you out of here". Gale pushed hand away tearing his torn up shirt off and wrapping it around his hand as tight as possible. He stood up wiping dead skin and shrapnel from the wound "we can't leave here until we shut them down". Erza roughly grabbed his arm "we will inform the magic council but your in no shape to fight". He growled lightly walking forward making Erza sigh as he grabbed Lucy's hand from grabbing her keys "wait". He pointed up to the bar seeing three people standing on top of it "their mine".

Natsu and Grey jump through the town knocking out anyone with a weapon making their way to their group "what the hell happened back there"? Grey looked over to Natsu as they came upon the others "didn't you see the mark on their chest … that explosion must have been a signal". They stopped seeing Gale's with a bloody chest making both of them grab his arms "were getting out of here right now"! Gale stood his ground looking the girl from before dead in the eye "not until she is in chains".

A loud high pitched sound rang through the air making everyone stop to cover their ears dropping to the ground. The three people jumped from the pub onto a building in front of the mages "you picked the wrong fight". Other then the girl who was now wearing a white robe covering her body with the black skull on the front. There was two other people one being the bar keep who wore the same robe only showing his square stone cut tanned face along with his short white spiky hair. The other was small girl with vibrant yellow hair that reached her ass staring daggers at Gale.

The pink haired girl stepped forwards pointing her finger at Gale "the wounded one is for us to kill everyone else gets the others". Gale growled loudly clenching his teeth together "dark mage trash … the swords of Zeref … crappy name". The two girls giggled at him jumping back intent on baiting the wounded wizard. Erza grabbed Gale's arm using a deep voice "their trying to bait you we need to leave". Gale looked back at her "if we beat their top wizards then their master will come out and we can topple their whole guild… i'm going".

He dug deep into the ground making a magic circle appear under him "Gale Dragon Ascent"! The air compressed under him making Erza back up as it exploded making the whole area filled with gale force winds rocketing him up into the air. He rocketed towards the two girls running off into a small forest in the middle of the village. Erza swore under her breath jumping forward ready to catch up with him only to be struck down by a violent explosion.

"I'll let the girls and the master take care of the idiot … but they don't want anyone interrupting them". The Fairy Tail mages all readied themselves as the town ran forward ready take their heads off "TAKE THEM DOWN"!

(With Gale)

Gale flew through the air seeing the two girls disappear into the forest making him growl "we should've blew up the whole damn town". He landed in the forest making dirt kick up everywhere "COME OUT NOW"! He ran through the forest hearing the leaves fall and the bushes shake. He stopped at a clearing where the two girls stood with their cloaks still on "i'm gonna rip you two apart". The yellow haired girl smiled stepping forward "with those wounds you'll barely be able to stand in a few minutes".

Gale chuckled standing up straight "then i'll just have to beat you down in less time". He rocketed forward as as large stone hand struck down from the sky crushing him into the dirt. He strained to look up seeing a large stone golem holding him down. The yellow haired girl walked over chuckling "our master felt your magic the minute you walked into the village … how do you like my Stone Maker Magic". The pink haired beauty walked over with a sway in her hips placing her hand on Gale's back burning a magic circle into his back.

Gale screamed out lashing out at her "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO"!? She smiled down at him "just a parting gift in the event you actually live after today". They stepped back watching him squirm under the stone golems hand "just wait till master sees our sacrifice". Gale calmed down breathing in deep 'calm down … neither of them are that strong they just got the drop on you". He looked up with a focused glare making the two girl look down at him "oh I think he's trying to kill us with a stare". Gale stayed silent letting in a deep breathe "Gale Drive" a pillar of silver magic energy exploded outward.

Both the girls jumped back ready for a fight as the stone golem exploded from the pressure "what the hell". Gale stood up looking at them with a focused stare "Gale Dragon Magic: Gale Rider Armor". Silver wisps of magic traveled around him as his hair blew wildly until his body was encased in roaring winds looking like he was shrouded in wind. The pink haired girl sighed "Lightning Magic: Lightning Armor". Her hair became wild similar to Gale's as her body was encased in lightning.

The standoff lasted for a full minute before Gale rocketed forward at unimaginable speeds grabbing the stone mage by her throat. "This is it for you Gale Dragon Dive Bomb" the winds picked up around his arm making tiny cuts across her chest as the winds exploded behind him launching her into the ground making a small crater. A sharp screech rang out as the other girl jumped forward "Lightning Magic: Lightning Cutter". Gale disappeared from sight jumping back smiling "to slow". Just as his foot hit the ground she appeared in front of him slashing at him cutting across his chest. Gale grunted jumping back "I guess you're faster than I thought".

They stared down each other before clashing at speeds the normal eye couldn't follow making scorch marks and deep slashes appear across the forest.

(With the others)

Erza jumped back as another explosion sent her jumping back "Natsu take care of him". Natsu smiled jumping forward sucking up the explosion "no problem … his attacks have no chance against me". Erza smiled as Natsu threw the explosion mage across the village running after him "Grey and Lucy I trust you can handle the minions"? A large axe smashed against four people sending them flying as a whip struck out taking down another "no problem Erza go help Gale". Grey jumped back smashing a hammer made of ice into a large group of evil mages "we got this handled go".

Erza smiled making a bright light shine out as she requiped into a cheetah print armor "I leave the rest to you". She jumped off slipping past the others easily following the sounds of a explosions in the distance. She flew into the clearing holding two swords "GALE I'M COMING"! She jumped from tree to tree seeing the two mages clashing over and over quickly requiping into her lightning Empress armor. She landed in a whirlwind throwing out her lance firing a large lighting beam connecting with the girls chest sending her into a tree stunned.

Gale quickly took advantage of her stun and appeared in front of her "Gale Dragon Iron Fist"! His fist collected all the wind surrounding him making a massive cyclone that dug its way into the girls gut sending her through multiple trees. She slammed against the final tree with white eyes falling forward unconscious. Gale hit the ground breathing roughly not able to stand "Erza … thank you". He fell forward being caught by Erza back in her normal armor "It's ok I got you". He smiled up at her "i'm sorry … I should've listened to you". She smiled down at him chuckling "believe me if you didn't start the fight Natsu would have".

A voice from behind them chuckled "you two are extremely strong wizards … Lord Zeref will be pleased with your deaths". They both looked back seeing a man in the same cloak with a golden mask shaped like a skull "Earth Magic: Earth Shot"! A massive slab of rock exploded from the earth hurling at the two. Gale jumped forward shoving Erza out of the way feeling the rock break across his chest sending him sliding across the ground. Gale leaned back looking like he was gonna fall back "GALE DRAGONS ROAR"! A Massive cyclone exploded outwards picking up all the stone and debris slamming into the mage shredding him up blowing through the whole town.

Erza looked at where he fired seeing a massive ravine through the whole town ending at the crater from the chapel. She looked back at Gale with a smile that quickly went to a terrified face as she watched him fall back in a broken mess.

(A day later)

Gale opened his eyes seeing trees and a night sky "where am I"? A hand laid across his sore chest making him look up to see Lucy. He sat up with help from her looking around seeing another sleeping bag "Lucy … where is everyone else… did we win"? Lucy smiled down at him quickly giving him a water "don't worry everyone is fine … you have been asleep for about a day". Gale nodded sipping the water "so where is everyone else… what happened to all the dark mages"?

Lucy say back pulling her legs up "after your roar the magic council army showed up and quickly arrested all the dark mages. But the others had to go with them and give a report … I didn't go because you were to hurt to move and Erza didn't wanna leave you with the army". Gale nodded leaning himself against a tree "so are we meeting them back at the guild"? Lucy nodded "yeah I have picked up a bit of first aid so I opted to stay with you and make sure you were okay". Gale smiled "well I feel great … well I feel good enough to walk". Lucy giggled into her hand "we can wait till morning to start walking back … you need your rest".

Gale nodded as she went over to grab some bandages 'what's that feeling'. He felt a small burn on his back. He pushed the thought out of his head looking around "umm Lucy … did anyone happen to find my necklace"? Lucy looked back shaking her head "i'm sorry Gale… no one found it… and another thing … the pink haired wizard the one that stabbed you … escaped". Gale froze "... it's fine she lost everything today… and my necklace isn't anything to worry about". He stood up stretching rubbing the spot that burned feeling it disappear "well do we have any food"?

Lucy looked over at him smiling making him blush 'what the hell is this feeling'? She handed him a bowl of stew that he ate down quickly"that was amazing… good looking and can cook your too perfect". Lucy returned the blush looking away "thank you … I cook at home so I have gotten pretty good at it". Gale froze hearing a whisper in his head 'Lust' he broke out feeling fuzzy in the head. Lucy looked over at him grabbing his shoulder "Gale are you ok … what are you thinking"?

Gale snapped out of the stupor "I… don't know I just felt weird for a minute… but you cook at your home"? Lucy paused for a minute feeling an odd sensation in the air "... um yeah … when we get would you like to come over and maybe have dinner"? Gale smiled nodding feeling a warm feeling all over "that sounds amazing … it's a date". Lucy went red again looking over at him "we should get to sleep". Gale nodded scratching his back once again not able to see the pink magic circle glowing lightly under his gauze.

(The Next Morning)

Gale woke up early seeing the sun rising over the mountains and decided to pack up the camp before Lucy woke up. He got everything packed up into a small and large backpack taking the heavier one. Lucy woke up seeing everything packed up "I guess your feeling better". Gale nodded feeling an odd sensation as he watched her slip on her thigh high boots. They smiled at each other starting their walk back to the guild.

As they walked through the forest they slowly got closer walking side by side talking to each other non-stop. "So your dad paid another guild to kidnap you and bring you to him … that's just crazy". Not as crazy as you and your friends taking down one of the most wanted dark guilds by yourself". Gale laughed out with her feeling truly happy as they talked about their pasts "... so Lucy… are you and Natsu a thing"? Lucy blushed spinning on her heels grabbing his arms shaking "NO ARE YOU KIDDING"! Gale laughed as she shook him grabbing her hands "Ok I get it you and flame breath aren't dating". She stopped shaking him as her blush grew thinking about what he asked "... why do you ask"?

Gale smiled "well … I don't know actually I just feel truly happy around you". Lucy slapped his arm "I… I feel the same way around you". Before they could continue talking a loud yell came from in front of them "HEY YOU GUYS"! They both looked over seeing the other three with Natsu yelling at them "hey guys". Erza walked straight up to Gale grabbing his shoulder "how do you feel you were really hurt"? Lucy felt an odd jealousy as Erza touched Gale pushing it away. Gale nodded as they walked to the guild "yeah I feel great … but … I do feel a little light headed".

Erza looked down seeing he was bleeding through his bandages "the field stitches probably ripped… don't worry we have Porlyusica ready to help you". They entered the guild seeing everyone cheering for his safe return. Elfman roared out loudly "taking down a dark guild on your first mission NOW THAT'S MANLY"! Gale smiled at the praise as everyone gave their own congratulations "thanks everyone". He passed by his friends stopping "did you guys do good on your quests"?

Light stood up smiling "we did great … you don't look so good you should see the Doc". Gale scoffed slurring his words "wat ar you … talken abou" he fell forward slamming against their table breaking over it. Makarov quickly jumped down as everyone ran to help "get back you fools give him space"! All the mages stepped back with Lucy trembling in fear as well as Erza "will he be alright master"? Makarov lifted the limp body of his new child "do not worry child Porlyusica is here to help". He grew big carrying him up the stairs to the medical wing "PORLYUSICA HE'S HERE"!

Gale's body was set down as his friends trying spilling in to help only to have a pink haired older lady block their path. Shade stepped forward "please just tell us he will be ok … he has to be"? The older lady sighed "I will keep the guild updated now please leave". They left with heavy steps not wanting to leave.

(Hours later)

The guild hall was back to a low chatter with everyone waiting for the update on Gale's health. Lucy was sitting with Levy chatting trying to keep her mind off of Gale possibly being really injured. Erza sat by herself feeling a large amount of anxiety thinking of the someone she felt close to after only knowing him for a small amount of time. Gale's friends sat at their table confident that Gale was gonna make it though. Natsu walked over to their table with a small smile "so where did you guys go on your first quest"? Light looked over at him with a smile "we went to Hargeon Port and took down a slave trade that was going through there".

Natsu smiled sitting with them making Buck give a sigh "were there any really strong guys there". Shade chuckled "not really … they had a couple A-Rank mages and one S-Rank that was definitely hyped up".

(Medical Wing)

While the three told the guild about their first official quest Porlyusica looked down at the newly bandaged Gale. Makarov walked in looking over the boy "will he be ok Porlyusica"? The older lady looked back nodding "he will be completely fine he was just drained … of both blood and magic". The older man stepped closer "then why do you look so concerned… did something go wrong"? The older lady sighed turning the body of Gale over with ease showing the glowing magic seal.

Makarov looked at the seal with a concerned face "... the mark of Lust… one of the Seven Deadly Sins". She nodded turning him back over "this mark will change him … if it already hasn't". Makarov stroked his beard "I can't believe he went up against one of the most wanted mages in the kingdom". "The only way to remove a seal like this is to remove it completely from the body and burn the flesh … whoever he latched onto first will also become more attached to him".

Makarov nodded looking out the window seeing Erza sitting alone "I have an idea who he paired with". A groan could be heard from Gale making both of them look over to him "he's awake". Gale chuckled "yes he is and he can hear you talk about him like he isn't here". Makarov smiled grabbing grabbing Gale's shoulder "you'll be glad to hear that you'll be just fine … now please go home and take it easy my boy". Gale nodded hopping off the bed and walking out of the room.

Porlyusica looked over at Makarov with a confused face "why didn't you tell him of the curse"? Makarov looked back with a frown "because the minute he thinks we'll take it from him … the magic will make him violent and he might hurt himself". The women nodded "then how do we go about getting it off of him"? "His friends will want to help in any way they can … and as much as it surprises me to say … other than myself and maybe a few others … their the only one's strong enough to do something about it".

(With Gale)

Gale walked out of the room making everyone stop and look up at him "don't worry everyone … with a few days of rest i'll be back to kicking ass". The guild hall erupted in cheers with everyone telling him how happy they were. Erza went to go hug him but was pushed out of the way by Lucy who roughly hugged him surprising a few mages. Gale smiled whispering to her "how about that dinner Miss Lucy"? She blushed nodding "i'd love to … maybe you can spend the night"?

He nodded forgetting about everyone else ignoring them walking out into the night making Erza and his Friends freeze in place. Before any of them could speak Makarov stepped out "Erza, Buck, Shade, and Light please come up to the medical bay I have something to discuss with you".

(With the couple)

The two ran through the town holding hands laughing as they made their way to Lucy's house. "So what is the sexy chef going to make for our date"? Lucy smiled back with a smirk "... something tells me you might want the sexy chef for dinner". Gale returned the smirk lifting her up in her arms carrying her into her house. He opened the door to her apartment and slammed it behind him as she wrapped her legs around him kissing him for the first time. Gale felt the burning sensation come back tenfold making his body hot "... I think I love you Lucy". Lucy paused looked down at him with a blush "... I love you too".

He gave a mile wide smile as the room filled with a pink mist heating them both up. Gale pushed her against the wall grabbing at her ass making her moan as they kissed.

(Back at the Guild)

Erza sat silent along with the others "so what you're saying is that he was cursed during the battle"? Makarov nodded "and their forced love will grow rapidly until it consumes them … they will forget about their past lives … and eventually get violent with anyone that they think is trying to tear them apart". Light stood up with an angry face "then we go now… Gale's magic is like pure adrenaline … that curse is being turbocharged now that he is back to normal".

Makarov frowned "we need a plan … the minute he gets wind of this he will fight like his life depends on it". Light scoffed "that's easy … us three will break in through the window and hold him down and Erza will come in and cut the damn thing off and we burn it". Makarov scoffed "do you really think it will be that easy… can you really fight your friend that easily"? The three stood up with Light still taking the lead "in the event one of us goes rogue we all have agreed and made plans to take each other down". Erza looked over at them taken back by their plan "... if it has a chance of helping Gale and Lucy I'm willing to do it".

(Back with the couple)

Gale was currently only in his underwear as Lucy pulled his pants off kissing up his body "would you like these pesky clothes off"? Gale gave a lust filled smile nodding and sitting back feeling his cock grow hard as she slowly stripped her clothes off. She finished stripping her top off letting her large tits free. She slowly slipped her panties down her boots looking back at him "do you like"? He threw his underwear off letting his large cock hang out "oh I love … keep the boots on … there sexy".

He rushed forward lifting her back up kissing her deeply and grabbing at her tits "your beautiful". She moaned out turning more and more red as the room was filled with a pink aroma "I'm a virgin … so please be gentle". He kissed her gently and placed his cock at her entrance "anything for you … I couldn't hurt you".

(Outside)

Erza and the others stood outside ready to crash in before Light looked in seeing how far the couple were going. "This is perfect … Erza new plan … their back is to the door with the seal in plain sight we're gonna make a ruckus out here and you slip in and slash it off". She nodded requiping into a more samurai outfit with her breasts wrapped and holding a katana. Light looked over at her giving her a pity smile "and what your about to see is not gonna be pretty … so as Gale's friends … please give him a chance after this he really does like you".

Erza blushed madly "... I feel the same way … coming from the same background as him … I never had someone make me feel so safe". Light lifted his hand up "I don't need to know about your guys life … but we're more brothers than friends and I want to see him happy". She nodded walking inside very quietly with Shade scoffing "you know they'll never forgive us after what we did right"? Light sighed "we all have baggage … our plan is to do what needs to be done and kill these dark guilds … but that doesn't mean we can't find happiness". Buck stepped in "it's not just about dark guilds … I want my revenge on Laxus … we all agreed … were not good guys… us four is all we'll ever have".

Light sighed "now is not the time for this … we can talk about the plan with Gale… even after only being in this guild for a small bit… I can feel us becoming more human". Light then lifted hand and made a massive flash that lit up every area and house "that should do".

(Back in the Room)

Gale pushed inside Lucy both of them moaning out loudly until a flash exploded into room filling Gale's eyes making him fall back. Both of them were to worried about the flash outside to hear the door glide open and a strong wind entered the room. "AHH" the light left the room and Erza sat there with Gale's flesh in her hand quickly throwing it into the fireplace lighting it ablaze. The two lovers gave a gasp falling back unconscious letting Erza see both of them in their nude glory.

She put the pieces together and froze seeing someone she trusted having sex with someone she felt herself growing close to. She ran out feeling a tear stream down her face pushing past the three boys who ran in seeing the two. Light sighed "... he's gonna feel like an asshole tomorrow… Buck get Lucy into bed and we'll get Gale home". Buck sighed lifting her up and taking her into bed covering her in the cover as the other two wrapped Gale in a blanket and carried him home.

(The next day)

Gale woke up with a raging headache and a sharp pain in his shoulder "... so that wasn't a dream". He sat up looking around to see his friends all passed out around his bed "heh … they stayed up to make sure I didn't freak out again". He stood up stretching wincing at his shoulder "jesus … it's not a deep cut but it damn hurts". He stepped over his friends and slipped on some clothes covering his naked body.

He slowly opened up the door ignoring his blood soaked shirt "I have to … talk with the girls". He sighed walking down the stairs and out the door not paying attention bumping into a blonde mass. He fell back onto his ass along with the blonde person "sorry I just need to get to Fairy Tail". He shook his head looking at the person freezing in place "... Lucy it's you".

Lucy looked back at him with a red face "... hey we need to talk … obviously". Gale nodded helping her up with a matching blush "yeah we do". They started walking a few feet apart slowly making their way to Fairy Tail. Lucy piped up breaking the awkward silence "about last night … what do we do about that"? Gale looked over at her "I think we should just forget about it … we weren't ourselves". Lucy stopped grabbing his shoulder "I don't want to forget about it … it may of not been us but it ... was good".

Gale turned red "... Lucy… I don't wanna forget about it either … it made me feel closer to you …". Lucy nodded smiling at him "... oddly enough I have never felt closer to someone … not even my father". Gale smiled "well then friends it is … as awkward as it was … I think I could use another friends". She hugged his arm as they walked "... so what are you gonna do about Erza"? He frowned "I don't actually know … I'm just gonna talk to her and try and mend things".

Lucy nodded walking with him letting his arm go "It's gonna be awhile before you can get back to eating her food". He chuckled walking into the guild hall slipping apart "good luck dragon boy". He sat alone thinking of a way to talk to the red haired mage who sat alone "how can I ever face her"? A soft voice came from behind him with a chipper tone "just go and talk to her". Gale looked behind him seeing Mira holding a slice of strawberry cake "really … just go talk to her"?

Mira placed the plate in his hand "that's all you can do … as long as you show her you want to mend things she'll smile". Gale nodded standing up and walking over near Erza's table "... I can do this". He walked over clearing his throat making Erza look over at him freezing in place. Gale handing the plate to her "... hey … I know you saw something bad last night … but I really wanna try this again". Erza stared him down looking back down at the cake "... your arm is hurt… would you like some help with it"?

Gale smiled nodding sitting down next to her pulling his shirt off "I would love some help". She smiled requiping bandages and wrapping his arm up "I don't blame you for last night … it's just hard not to feel hurt". Gale nodded looking back at her "I know… oddly enough it brought Lucy and I closer as friends … I'm gonna find these sins and take them down". She gripped his shoulder tightly "Gale they are one of longest and most wanted mages in Fiore … whenever you find them you have to promise not to go alone". Gale nodded placing his hand over hers "I won't … I have you guys to help".

She smiled as the main door opened up to the other new members making the whole guild present. Makarov smiled as everyone seemed to be back to normal "it warms my old heart that everyone is here as a guild". Everyone smiled up at him as he continued to speak "we have news on Chaos Theory". Everyone went silent paying close attention "with the new information that Gale and the others uncovered we have found out that these mages are targeting Dark Guilds".

Natsu stood on top of a table fired up "so what… they still attacked Blue Pegasus and that means their enemies". Makarov sighed "Natsu… over 6 known dark guilds have been completely annihilated … their all dead". Everyone sat silent contemplating what he said "so what … my friends and I know better than anyone that the dark guilds deserve what they got". Everyone turned to Light who sat with Shade and Buck.

Makarov looked over at him with a sad face "I understand your feelings Light … but magic isn't a tool for murder … and these mages have broken that sacred rule". Light sat back with a scoff "whenever a dark guild is brought down … the ones that get away start a new one in a never ending cycle". Light winced in pain as Shade elbowed his side "dude shut up you're making us look suspicious".

Makarov sighed "well no matter what anyone thinks their still considered a SS-Rank problem … but we have another important topic to talk about". A few of the members that figured it out became excited while the other newer members went confused. Makarov smiled "in two weeks time we will hold the S-Rank Trial … but I do have some news regarding the trials". He jumped down landing on Gale's table smiling at him "I have watched you for the last week … and as new as you are I am making you a candidate". Everyone went into an uproar yelling about unfairness.

Gale sat still "I don't know what to say … why me … I only went on one quest and have barely any experience at Fairy Tail"? Makarov smiled "well … your old guild master Bob sent over your past quests… Gale it surprised Gildarts and I that you actually have over four S-rank quests under your belt". The guild all went silent looking over at him "how in the hell do you have more S-rank quests then Natsu".

Gale smiled "well when I was with Blue Pegasus I went on a few quests with Loki's former key holder". Lucy piped up in surprise "really … how did you manage that at so young"? Gale rubbed the back of his head chuckling "well she knew I was a gifted Dragon Slayer and would throw me into quests… it's actually the main reason Bob let me leave without a hassle". Natsu smiled "so you have gone on four different S-Rank quests … FIGHT ME"! He jumped at Gale only to be punched down by Gildarts whom appeared from upstairs. "Give him a break Natsu he is still hurt from your guys last mission".

GIldarts stepped over Natsu and leaned down to Gale with a smile "I suggested you myself … I think you deserve the chance to prove yourself and I didn't want you hurting yourself by going out on quest before healing up". Gale smiled thanking the large man "well … thank you both so much … I never had someone care about me so much other than my friends". The older men smiled as Makarov looked back at the rest of the guild "now get out there and forge your path".

Everyone to the board grabbing quests tearing the board apart and running out of the guild ready to make a name for themselves. Gale walked over to his friends smiling at them "go grab an S-Rank quest and go as a team". Buck stood up "hey man we have a plan … why are we bothering with this crap"? Gale sighed "Buck … the plan has changed the minute we got here… we will never stop taking down Dark scum but … this is the family we thought we never would have".

Buck grabbed his arm dragging him outside "we didn't talk about the plan changing damnit". Gajeel and Juvia watched as the four of them walked into the back "I wonder what those weirdos are doing"? Juvia stared down Grey seeing him also stare them down "my love would also like to know".

Buck growled at Gale "you three all have decided to say fuck the plan but I haven't … so I issue a fight". Gale scoffed "Buck you want revenge on Laxus… and I promised you would get it … this doesn't change that". Buck scoffed "once we stop the plan your gonna get soft … if you already haven't". Gale looked at him serious making him step back "... look the plan stays the same … but Fairy Tail has shown that not all official guilds are the same".

Buck looked at the building as Gale spoke "... I see how you act around Elfman and Cana… I'll make you a deal". Buck looked back at him with a serious look "get into the S-Rank trials and we'll have our fight … you win and we stay on track … I win and we'll rework the plan". He sighed pausing for a moment "deal … but I won't hold back and you better not either". The four all nodded going their separate ways intent on beating the other.
