Hello once again peoples I was feeling happy so I decided to write more Haha I'm a strange person anyways someone noticed where my inspiration came from ;D I'm still broke though so… p.s. I warned you about the crack nonsense that would go on in this story so *more evil laughter*
At the Magic Council, Era, nine men and women were assembled. They continued to talk about their favorite subject, Fairy Tail. "Those idiots from Fairy Tail are at it again," an old man crooned," This time they destroyed half a port!"
"Now they've done it," another gasped.
"I quite like that bunch of fools, personally," a strange man with blue and a red birthmark chuckled.
"Indeed they are quite the fools," a short old man spoke up," But they have assembled many wizards of talent and ability."
"I guess you take the good with the bad," another old man sighed.
"Just leave them be. Without those fools, this world would be rather boring," the blue haired man smirked. In the end the nine came to the conclusion that Fairy Tail would be left alone, even with all of the destruction they caused. Also, they knew that knew that no matter what they did, Fairy Tail would be just as destructive.

"Wow," Mavis gasped in amazement at what she had just walked into. She was standing in a large building complete with high pillars, chairs and tables laid out everywhere, but the best thing was the hustle and bustle of the many people there, "It's amazing."
"HEY ZEREF'S BACK!" a high pitched voice could be heard ringing throughout the guild.
"ZEREF?!' the entire female population inside of the guild half screamed, half asked before running up and strangling, I mean hugging, him. One woman in particular, who reeked of alcohol, began bombarding Zeref with questions. "Why were you gone so long? Who's this little girl? Don't tell me that you've become a great big pervert."
"No Cana, I am not a pervert, and this is Mavis," Zeref said to the woman. The woman, Cana, was wearing a blue bra like top, brown pants, and was carrying a blue fuzzy purse. She looked down, slightly confused and awe struck, at the little the girl who had been mostly hidden in the mob of girls. The mob, hearing Zeref speak of the small child, then took a step back in order to take in the new person.
"Hello," Mavis waved cheerfully at the female guild members, who all sweat dropped at the sight of her.
"Hey," a tall woman with white hair pushed herself in front of the crowd. She was wearing clothing that was just as revealing as Cana's. The woman leaned in, her face scrunched up in a scowl, "And just what are you doing here?" Mavis leaned back, frightened as the woman leaked out a dark aura.
"Uhh," Mavis searched for words to say to the evil woman. Suddenly two more women, who looked strikingly similar to the witch, grabbed the woman's arms and pull her back. The one who had been yelling released a string of insults at the other two. The minute she was gone Mavis' two saviors popped up before the small girl.
"I'm very sorry about her behavior," one of the white haired women said sheepishly," She's never been one for new people."
"It's ok," Mavis smiled back.
"Oh, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Lisanna," she took Mavis' hand into a brief shake," The girl who just left is Mira, my sister." Mavis took a good look at the girl who was talking. She had short white hair, big light blue eyes, and very pale skin. She was dressed in a pink and white dress. Lisanna appeared to be a much kinder person than her sister.
The other white haired woman stood much taller than Lisanna. "My name's Elfie," the tall woman spoke in a much deeper voice than her sisters. Elfie was a fairly muscular girl with pointed blue eyes. She had a stitched scar that ran from the bottom of her right eye and ended just below her jaw.
A short girl with light blue hair crept around the crowd in order to get to Mavis. "How old are you?" The girl startled Mavis. "I'm Levy by the way," the tiny girl was wearing white shorts with a blue vest that slightly hid her light yellow top. An orange headband pulled her bangs put of her face.
"I'm 14," Mavis replied while the entire crowd gasped, as they thought that she was much younger.
"Well, I should really take you to go see the master," Zeref pushed Mavis out of the mob to avoid being questioned by every single girl in the guild. Many voices yelled in protest, but Zeref kept walking.
"We'll talk more later. Is that okay?" Zeref smiled apologetically, which caused the entire crowd to swoon.
Mavis stared in awe at all of the people that were gathered in one building, it was the most she had ever seen. Growing up she was alone most of the time. Now, she was determined to make many friends.
"Yo Zeref," a deep voiced called out. It belonged to a naked man with raven black hair.
"Hey Gray," Zeref turned towards the man.
"Did you ever find that bastard Salamander?"
"Nope, just stopped a fake one. It was only a rumor after all, I doubted that we would actually find him"
"Even if it was only a rumor, it's too bad that you didn't find him. You'll have to take me with you next time."
"Will do. Do you know where the master is?"
"I think he's in his office." Zeref began to walk off towards the small room that the master called his office, when Gray noticed Mavis. Gray stared starring curiously at the small girl. Mavis, in turn, walked over to him, "Do you realize that you are naked?" Gray looked down and screeched as he ran off, presumably to find his missing clothes.
Zeref turned around to see Gray running off in a panic. He merely shrugged, he was, after all, used to his friend's stripping habit. "He is an interesting comrade," Mavis spoke.
"Yes, well we do have some interesting mages here," Zeref sweat dropped. Mavis threw her hands up in the air, smiled, and proclaimed, "I love it!"
"I'm very glad to hear that," a voice rumbled from behind. A giant man was standing behind Mavis.
Normally, a person would cower in fear, Mavis on the other hand, she stuck her hand out to him and introduced herself. The man shrunk down to a very, very small size.
"Nice to meet cha'," the small man, who was in a very silly hat, laughed.
"Master, I have brought her here to join the guild," Zeref said formally.
A dark aura seeped out of all of the eavesdropping girls. A rumble, followed by a growl escaped the women's throats. The men in the guild had to tackle their female members in order to stop them from brutally murdering Mavis.
"Ah. Well then, we are very happy to have you here at Fairy Tail," he peeked out from behind Zeref," Isn't that right ladies?" His voice held a threatening tone.
"Yes," the girls grumbled whilst returning to their seats.
"Now if you'll excuse me." The Master jumped into the air, doing summersaults as he went. He hit his back on the railing of the second floor as he attempted to land. "You've gone and done it again rascals! Look at all of the paperwork the council sent me!" he then proceeded to show off a large stack of papers," Their all complaints! All you fools do is make the council angry with me!" The Master trembled with anger whilst everyone else starred at the floor looking guilty. "However," the Master looked up at his guild members and set the papers on fire," screw the council!" He threw the ashes of the papers to the slight breeze that flowed through the open doors of the guildhall. "Listen up, magic is an unreasonable power, but it is born from reason. It is not some miraculous ability, it is the combination of the spirit flowing within us and the flow of energy in the natural world come into perfect sync. Magic comes from mental strength and focus, no, it comes from your entire soul! Worry about the eyes watching from high above and you will make no progress in the way of magic! Don't let the fools on the council scare you. Follow the path you believe in! That's what Fairy Tail wizards do! Everyone in the guild then proceeded to cheer and hold their hands up in a backwards L sort of way. Mavis joined in cheering with the rest of the guild, enjoying the atmosphere.
"Lisanna, will you give Mavis her mark?" Master asked the white haired girl before walking off, claiming he had business to attend to. His sobs of grief over the loss of money for damage bills made his entire speech for naught, good thing only Zeref heard him. The rest of the guild didn't need to know.
"Of course," Lisanna smiled as she brought the stamper to Mavis," What color would you like and where?"
"Um, pink and my hand please," Mavis brought her right hand to Lisanna, who stamped her. With a satisfying pop, Mavis has the mark of Fairy Tail.
"Now let's see, you're going to need somewhere to live and go on jobs. I'll see what I can do for you," Lisanna thought allowed.
"It's ok, I can figure something out."
"Well ok, but you'll still need to go on jobs, and since you've never been, you should probably team up for your first few."
"I can take her out on her first few. She already knows me so I think it would be beneficial," Zeref offered.
Mira, hearing Zeref, held Mavis' arm," I can take her. I'm thinking maybe an S-class since she's oh so powerful." Mira held a gleeful smirk on her face. Mavis took a deep breath before replying, "You do not even know my magic, therefore you do not know my power's capability. Normally, one would be able to sense another's power, however, this guild is filled with many different types of powerful magic so your senses will not work unless you know exactly what you are looking for."
Everyone's faces filled with fear. No one had ever stood up to Mirajane like that, well there was Erza, but she was a monster too. Many covered their eyes, while a few ran out screaming.
"Why you," she never got to finish her sentence. Elfie and Lisanna dragged her away. "If you're so powerful, then prove it!" Mirajane spat out.
"I never said I was powerful." The tone Mavis used was enough to send shivers down the remaining members' spines and shut Mira up. The guild was silent for a few moments after that, and only resumed when Zeref took Mavis to the request board.
"Pick anyone you like," Zeref said while they both browsed the board.
"Oh, this one sounds interesting," Mavis was about to point out a request when a small boy's voice interrupted the two.
"Is my dad still not back yet?" Mavis turned slightly to see a small purple haired boy talking to the Master.
"You're getting on my nerves, Romeo, if you're a wizard's son, have faith in your father and wait at home quietly," the Master had come out of his office and was now enjoying a nice refreshing glass of, oh who am I kidding, he was drinking booze to try and forget about all of the apology letters he had to write.
"He said he'd be back in three days, but he's been gone a week now!" Romeo challenged furiously.
"If I recall, it was a job on Mt. Hakobe..." the Master trailed off.
"that isn't that far away! Go look for him!" Romeo was at the point of tears now.
"Your old man's a wizard! There's no wizard in this guild that can't take care of himself! Go home and have some milk or something!"
"Stupid head," the young boy sent the Master flying before running off in a fit of sobs," Damn it!" Romeo was gone before Mavis could blink three times.
"That was pretty harsh," Mavis muttered to herself, unaware that she was being listened to.
"It doesn't matter what he says, Master is worried," Mirajane was standing across from Mavis, wearing a dark look that sent two, no three, three men, no five men. She sent five men running for the hills. Her entire body was shaking, while her sisters wore a depressed glimmer in their eyes.
A loud crashing noise was heard. All heads snapped towards it. The request board was snapped in half. Whispers began to spread all throughput the grand hall. The Master looked up and sighed heavily, as Zeref walked out of the guild alone. A perplexed Happy turned from eating his fish and conversing with the others to follow Zeref.
"I don't know about this Master. He's going to try to save Macao," a wizard by the name of Nab leaned over to the Master from his place at the bar.
A stretch of silence was felt throughout guild hall. No one dared utter a word. They were all worried about Macao and wanted to go find him, but they all knew that a wizard's pride is something you do not mess with. Therefore, all they could do was stare after their black dragon.
Finally, the Master spoke. "No one is allowed to choose the path others take. Let him be."
"What happened to him?" no one was sure is Mavis was talking about Macao or Zeref.
"Zeref's in the same boat as Romeo," Lisanna smiled a smile of tear filled memories to herself," The same thing happened with Zeref." Mavis looked up with a saddened curiosity. "All the wizards at Fairy Tail carry something with them. A scar, or pain, or suffering." Lisanna trailed off, unable to carry on with her sentence or her own past, that Mavis could not distinguish.
"Why are you here?" Zeref asked unenthusiastically as the rode in the carriage.
"Why not?" Mavis countered with a sparkle in her eyes that was somewhere between greed and enchantment," Anyway, I wish I could do something to help you with your transportation struggles. There's so much I want to know about you."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Zeref gurgled with a deep blush on his face.
"Nothing," Mavis replied, the glint almost completely gone. Her sincerity and innocence in her words was enough to make him believe that she meant nothing by it. Heh, idiot. Happy could only giggle as he munched on his blue fish.
While they travelled, Lisanna's voice rang in Mavis' mind.
"Zeref's father left and never came back," her voice was soft, almost timid," It wasn't his real father, but he was the one who raised Zeref." Lisanna giggled a bit as she proclaimed," Not to mention a dragon."
"I suspected as much," Mavis exhaled. She knew the feeling of being abandoned all too well. The feeling of knowing that there is no one waiting for you, much less anyone who cared. Maybe it was different for Zeref, it probably was, but Mavis' situation would never change. She knew that.
"He was found on a mountain by that dragon when he was little. The dragon taught him how to read and gave him an overall education. It must have been fun learning with a dragon," Lisanna began to trail off in daydreams," Anyways, he also taught Zeref about magic, but one day the dragon vanished, and Zeref couldn't find him. He could only remember one thing about the night before. He told Zeref a tale about a Salamander named Igneel. I don't even know the full story; he's never been one to open up.
"Will you do me a favor?" Lisanna looked up questioningly.
"Of course," Mavis replied immediately.
"Stay close to Zeref and keep him safe." Mavis was startled by Lisanna's words. Lisanna only chuckled at Mavis," As powerful as he is, keeping his past bottled up forever will never help anything. Help him stay away from the dangers he will most surely put him own way."
After a moment to let the short haired girl's words sink in, Mavis nodded her head yes, indicating that she would be there for him. Unbeknownst to the two of them, several of the female guild members had murder on their minds.
The ride to the mountains had stopped. The carriage gave one final shake before coming to a complete stop. "We're here?" Mavis was surprised at how short the trip had been. Zeref jumped off of the cart with Happy right behind him, suddenly full of energy.
"I'm sorry, but we cannot go any further," the driver announced. Mavis turned to look at the snowy landscape, taking in the icy mountains and the apparently infinite white.
Walking was the worst part for the petit blonde mage. Her body shivered against the impenetrable wind. The blanket she had brought did little to nothing to shield her from the freezing temperatures. Her teeth chattered on and on. Zeref walked slightly ahead of her. He stopped suddenly and turned to face her. Mavis felt a small blush rising to her cheeks as he became closer and closer to her. He was mere inches away from her face. She could no longer feel the cold she was so flushed. Zeref bent over, if only slightly, closer to Mavis. He then reached around his neck and…..
Unbuttoned his jacket and threw it to her. "W..w.. w.. wh.. wha," she tried to release her question, only to be halted by her chattering teeth. "You looked cold," was Zeref's only reply.
After about ten minutes of Mavis protesting, he finally put the jacket on. She found it to be very warm, if incredibly large. She snuggled deeper into the warmth of the jacket with every passing gust of wind.
Happy finally peeked from Zeref's shoulder to start a conversation about the different types of fish. Zeref was only half listening to his now teammates' dull conversation. He certainly was not paying attention when the Vulcan appeared from behind. It came in a way that none of the three had any idea about the oncoming attack. "It's a Vulcan," Happy said matter of factly from his new spot on Mavis' shoulder. The Vulcan sniffed around for a moment. With a cry of joy and a grand leap, he was standing in front of Mavis. Her small frame began shaking even more uncontrollably, though that was most likely from fear. "A little girl!" the Vulcan cried out ecstatically. The monster grabbed Mavis and broke into a sprint. The Vulcan did not get far. In less than four seconds, Zeref was on him. He kicked to side of the monster's head, which flung it into a wall of pure ice, knocking the Vulcan unconscious.
A strange glow took over the Vulcans form as his body began to deteriorate. The monster turned into an older man with bluish hair, that looked somewhat the same shade as Romeo's. "Takeover magic," Happy, Zeref, and Mavis muttered together.
The body was revealed to be Macao's and Macao's body revealed several wounds that showed a difficult battle. He finally opened his eyes. "I'm pitiful," were the first words out of his mouth. Before anyone could speak a word, Macao continued. "I defeated 19 of them, but I got taken over by the 20th." Mavis' eyes widened in surprise at how many monsters one man had taken out. "I can't believe myself, I can't face Romeo like this," Macao's eyes began to well up.
"That's not true," Zeref sat beside Macao," You defeated that many, by yourself. Any person would have been taken over by the 3rd, if not 2nd. Now," Zeref embraced Macao's hand," Let's get you home. Romeo's waiting for you." Sadness was evident in Zeref's voice, but they all ignored it.
"It's amazing," Mavis thought to herself," I really can't match up to them."
"What are you grinning about Mavis?" Happy asked from behind Mavis. His paw was halfway covering his mouth, in an attempt to stiffen his laughter.
"Nothing!" Mavis waved her hands in the air, embarrassed that she had been caught smiling creepily at Zeref and Macao.
Back outside of the guildhall, where Romeo sat, he, Romeo, replayed the events in his mind leading up to his father's disappearance. "Fairy Tail wizards ain't nothing," one boy from Romeo's school claimed," They're just a bunch of cowards who spend all their time drinking." Two other boys laughed and agreed with the first boy. "We all want to become nights when we grow up! We don't want to become stupid old drunks!" Romeo felt so small against them, so helpless.
"Dad, go on a job!" Romeo pleaded with his father, Macao," I can't stand this anymore!" Romeo was almost in tears now. Macao smiled at his little boy," Okay!" He winked as he left to go snag a job.
Romeo sat on the stairs of the walkway between two apartment complexes crying. He was the one who drove his father away, and now he would probably never see him again. It was all his fault.
It was not Romeo's fault in the least, but he blamed himself all the same. "Romeo!" a familiar voice called out to the small boy. He looked up. The tears on his face grew even more intense. His father, the one who he thought he would never see again, was waving at him. Romeo could wait no longer. He practically threw himself from the steps to his dad's neck. "Dad, I'm so sorry!" Romeo cried as the two fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry I made you worry."
"It's okay. I am the son of a wizard after all."
"The next time those bullies try to pick on you, tell them this: Can your dad defeat 19 monsters? Mine can and did." The two laughed at each other out of sheer joy.
Zeref and Mavis, accompanied by Happy of course, walked back towards the guild. They both held an irreplaceable joy in their hearts. Zeref felt a twang of sadness as he remembered the days with his adoptive father. Mavis felt all to similar.
"Zeref! Happy!" Romeo yelled after them," Thank you!"
"No problem," Zeref waved back.
"Aye sir," Happy agreed with his black haired partner.
"And thank you too, Mavis!" Romeo yelled to the newest member. She turned and waved back at him with a smile upon her face.

"They finished that task with much ease, just as planned," the blonde haired woman, Lucy, spoke to the pink haired man once more.
"The one with the tower?" the pink haired man, Natsu, asked stupidly. Yes, Lucy was defiantly going to have a headache today.
"No," Lucy's voice shook with annoyance," The one with the Vulcans."
"Have they met Wendy yet?" the pink haired man asked yet another stupid question.
"NO! ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT MAVIS HAS JOINED THE GUILD AND THEY SAVED MACAO!" Lucy sent Natsu flying into a new tree, he old one fell down, and she was trying so hard not to destroy him.
"Okay, okay," Natsu pleaded with Lucy," Are you going to send her on the quest soon?" Finally, a smart question.
"Yes," a chill went down Nastu's spine as she spoke," I can feel Virgo calling out. Her power wishes to be known. I believe that that shall be the first."
"I like Virgo, she always makes plenty of food whenever I want," Natsu drooled over old memories.
Lucy reached out to slap Natsu, then retracted her hand, taking deep breaths. "we have gone over this many times, Virgo is not your personal servant so do not treat her as such." It was silent for a few moments.
"I'm gonna' go see Igneel," Natsu declared, standing up. The area around Natsu went up in flames. Lucy was caught in the flare, but emerged untouched, obviously. "No you will wait for me to give you the all clear, that way you do not set the world on fire and start a war, again," Lucy treated Natsu like a teacher teaches a child who needed to be disciplined. The two of them looked into the sky. Natsu opened his mouth to say something. "Natsu, you had better shut your mouth before a kick you into tomorrow." That shut the pink haired man up.
Well this took forever to write and it's not even my best work. Sorry for a lame chapter, I will try to make it up to you guys next week. Yes, Elfman is now a girl and yes, all of the girls are hot for Zeref. I will not be making a harem out of this I just thought it would add to the comedy. I mean, have you seen Zeref, he is beautiful. I will eventually have the girls grow out of their "love" for him. I was thinking about the possibility of skipping certain arcs, but I wanted you, the readers, opinions first. If you would like a few arcs cut out, please tell me which ones. In fact, tell me your favorite arcs as well just for funsies. Please comment, but no fire because I will send it right back out to you :p
