Here's where it really begins. I felt bad uploading so little so decided to upload the first chapter today. Hope you enjoy! ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail (if only)
"W-why... couldn't we... walk t-to... Hakobe?" A very pale pink haired wizard asked, doing his best not to throw up.
"Well, if you hate it so much then you can run along side, idiot," the shirtless male opposite him remarked.
"What d-did you say, G-Gray?" Natsu Dragneel, the dangerous fire dragon slayer, answered before gagging uncontrollably.
The three girls rolled their matching brown eyes at the two wizards and began talking amongst themselves until they made it to their destination.
Lucy Heartfelia was, once again, out of money and her rent was almost due. Desperately looking for work, her red-head friend, Erza Scarlet, had suggested that the Team of Destruction as the Magic Council would call them, should accompany her. With that, Lucy's quiet morning had been disrupted by her formidable guild mates, not that she was complaining. Gray Fullbuster, the guilds strongest ice wizard, had suggested the job of beating up a clan of Vulcans and Wyverns on Mt. Hakobe due to complaints from villagers in the local area. Wendy Marvel, also known as the Sky Maidon, insisted on accompanying the team, despite Carla's warning. Lucy was reluctant at first, but considering the insane fights they've had to overcome in the past, her opinion soon changed.
The carriage came to a halt and Natsu rapidly sped outside into the cold.
"We're finally here!"
"Aye Sir," Natsu and his partner, the humorous blue Exceed Happy, jumped for joy at the base of Fiore's tallest, and coldest, mountain.
Lucy and Wendy shuffled out of the carriage last, clinging onto each other for warmth.
"I f-f-f-forgot how c-c-cold it w-w-w-was h-here," Wendy stuttered, her teeth chattering.
"Don't w-worry W-W-Wendy... I'll g-g-g-get us warm in n-n-no t-time," Lucy said, doing her best to cheer the young blunette up.
Open
Gate of the Clock Constellation
Horologium
Lucy and Wendy took refuge from the stormy weather inside the toasty clock spirit. They rapped a blanket around themselves and a feeling of relief came over them as they began to lose the cold.
"Geez, it's not that cold," Gray proclaimed, still shirtless.
"'Coming from an ice wizard' the blonde says," Horologium said in place of his master.
"Well if you spend all your time hiding inside that clock, you'll never get used to it, I answer back," Natsu mocked.
"Leave them alone you two," Erza demanded. "Your magic enables you to be unaffected by a change in weather conditions."
"Oh yeah, then how are you ok?" Gray questioned.
Ignoring Gray's last remark, Erza stated. "We still have a long way to go before we reach the Vulcans' and Wyverns' home. They usually live at the top of Mt. Hakobe so prepare yourself."
The team trudged up the mountain, bumping into the occasional Vulcan on the way.
Karyû no Tekken
Ice Make: Hammer
Blumenblatt
It didn't take long for the three powerful wizards to beat a few stray Vulcans while Wendy, Lucy and the two Exceeds watched in awe. Edges of the mountain started crumbling and the group only just managed to avoid falling.
"You idiots went over board AGAIN!" Carla yelled. Unfortunately for her, the sound of her voice was drowned out by the constant howling of the never ending storm.
That's our team, Wendy thought giggling.
After about another half an hour of walking, and fighting, the team were finally at the top of Mt. Hakobe. However, it was unnervingly quiet.
"Sorry, Lucy-san. My time is up," Horologium apologised before disappearing back to the Celestial Spirit World.
"WHAT?! GIVE ME AND EXTENSION, PLEASE!" Lucy cried aimlessly.
"Don't worry, Lucy-san. We need to help Natsu-san and the others now. And I'm not as cold anymore. Thanks," Wendy smiled.
Lucy returned the smile as they both joined their team.
"Prepare yourselves. They could appear at any moment," Erza informed.
Just as she spoke, at least 30 Vulcans jumped out of the shadows and surrounded the wizards.
"Look! Girls! We like girls," one of the Vulcans began jumping up and down punching the air at the sight of three sexy looking girls standing before them.
"What did you say, bastard?" Natsu snarled.
Karyû no Hōkō
The blazing flames struck down over seven of the Vulcans with one blow. Gray wasn't going to let Natsu look better than him in the fight.
Ice Make: Cannon
An explosion of solid ice flew out of Gray's cannon. He managed to do equal amount of damage to the Vulcans as his flaming friend as they were thrown back into the mountain and buried under the rubble.
"I wanna help," Lucy grinned.
Open
Gate of the Maiden
Virgo
"Do you wish to punish me, princess?" Virgo asked, a blank expression on her face.
"No, the enemy is over there, show them what you're made of, Virgo," Lucy instructed.
Virgo dived into the mountain and tunnelled underneath the pack of Vulcans. She burst out from underground and struck the Vulcans with her chains, taking out around four of them.
"Nice work, Virgo," Lucy applauded.
"Punishment time?"
"GO HOME!" And with that, Virgo returned.
Wendy had a determined expression of her face. "I've got to do something too."
"Don't use up too much of your magic, Wendy," Carla warned.
"Trust me, Carla. I'm not a baby anymore."
Tenryū no Kagizume
Four Vulcans were immediately forced off the cliff by Wendy's powerful attack. She smiled at her success and Erza commended her on her skills before taking out the remaining eight Vulcans with her Purgatory Armour.
"We did it. We can go home n..." Lucy cried before getting interrupted by none other than Erza.
"Don't let your guard down. More are bound to pop up."
"The job request said Vulcans and Wyverns, this was just a welcome gift," Gray added.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu cried his usual catchphrase.
The group split up and began searching for their targets leaving Wendy and Lucy with the Exceeds as the cold once again got to them.
"Let's just hope that those three finish things quickly so we can get back," Lucy smiled.
"And hopefully without destroying the whole mountain," Carla added.
The group was the silent listening to the distant sound of their friends fighting Vulcans. That noise was then drowned out by Happy's stomach grumbling.
"Happy, make your stomach shut up!" Carla yelled.
"Sorry, I already ate all of my fish."
"LOOK OUT!" Natsu cried.
The Exceeds only just managed to grab the two girls and fly away from the Wyvern's strike. Both screamed, unaware that the foul creature was creeping up on them. Happy on the other hand. "Lucy have you gained weight?" He was ignored.
Karyû no Yokugeki
Natsu's arms were engulfed in flames as he charged towards the Wyvern at full speed sending the vulnerable creature tumbling down through the sky. The group of three then prepared themselves for an attack as many more Vulcans came from behind. Lucy was the first to react.
Open
Gate of the Archer
Sagittarius
"Lucy-dono, what may I do for you - moshi moshi?" Sagittarius asked.
"Shoot those Vulcans down, please," Lucy responded, pointing in the direction of the enemy.
"Lucy-san, if we combine my Sky Dragon Roar with Sagittarius-san's arrows, we can do even more damage," Wendy suggested, barely managing to make herself heard.
"Great idea, Wendy."
"Wendy-dono, I'm ready when you are - moshi moshi."
Tenryū no Hōkō
Sagittarius shot his arrows towards Wendy's roar and they raced and light speed, piercing through the Vulcans skin.
On another side of the mountain, Erza had re-quipped into her Flight Armour and was defeating Vulcans faster than you could say Fairy Tail Wizard. They were dropping down one after another, setting a good example for the immature males of the team; if only they were around to see.
Back with the three wizards, Natsu had been surrounded.
"So you guys wanna play huh?" Natsu cried as his usual burning flames flared up around his body. He jumped, full force, at the Vulcans. He punched one right in the face and kicked another on the rebound. He then proceeded to head butting a third.
Karyû no Tekken
Karyû no Kagizume
Karyû no Kenkaku
Although he only targeted three of the pack, he managed to defeat over half of the Vulcans that had ganged up on him, leaving the ones remaining with...
Karyû no Yokugeki
Natsu grinned and looked over at the rest of the mountain. He could see ice flying, along with a few Vulcans. Gray was at his usual tactics however, in the corner of his eye, Natsu noticed the Wyvern he thought was gone back in the skies. The Wyvern had spotted the ice lances shooting through the blizzard and swooped down in the direction of its caster.
"CRAP!" Natsu took of running in the direction of his friend.
Gray was still so focused on the remaining Vulcans that he didn't notice the Wyvern sneak up behind him. Natsu saw Gray come into view and at the top of his voice said "Gray, behind you!"
Gray, with a look of confusion, turned around to see a giant claw coming in his direction. "Crap!"
Ice Make...
"GRAY!"
I'm pretty proud of this first chapter. Just to let you all know, this story happens after the Grand Magic Games and before the Sun Village. Can I also just say thank you so much for the reviews on my last fanfic. I'd had a really bad day and seeing those reviews made my day so, again, thanks soooo much!
