CHAPTER 1
The main market of Magnolia was bustling with activity as usual.
"You want more, Erza?"
Erza, shoving another piece of her favorite pastry in her mouth, nodded, the motion causing her scarlet hair to swish around her head, "Yes, of course! Bring them all!"
Lucy smiled, her lips twitching as she reluctantly handed the pastry man the desired amount of jewels. The man was literally beaming as he skipped back to his shop to get the ordered delicacy.
She thanked the man, taking the dessert to the table where the requip mage was waiting expectantly. "Eat well,"
When the other was busy stuffing herself with all that sugar ladened baked goodness, her cheeks filling out as she attempted to take in more than she could chew at a time, Lucy, at last, got the opportunity to slump down in a chair, morosely grieving over her empty wallet. She could merely hope that she wouldn't have to regret sending the two idiots and the fish obsessed cat to buy Erza's birthday present.
"Theeeshh are delishhiosh Lusshhi!" Erza commented, contentment shining vividly in her orbs.
"Am glad you like them, Erza." Lucy responded, a genuine smile on her pastel pink lips. It wasn't often that the other mage let her guard down so looking at her let it loose for once made her happy.
~Somewhere else~
"This is so damn confusing!" Natsu yelled frustrated, gawking at all the clothes hanging on the display racks.
Gray and Happy were in the back end of the store, breezing through the multitude of dresses.
"Yah, ice pants!"
"What?" Said Ice Pants replied, busy trying to figure out why the hell two outfits had such a huge difference in amounts when the only distinct detail between them was a measly bow.
Natsu came over carrying a bunch of stuff in his arms, deftly ignoring the weird glances thrown their way by the other shoppers, "I can't picture how they will look until I see someone wearing them."
"Hmm," Gray hummed in response, turning around to face him with an unmistakable glint in his eyes, "Rock, paper, SCISSORS!"
"Noooo!" Natsu wailed, staring in shock at his fisted hand.
Gray looked at him smugly, picking out a few dresses and tossing them to the other, "Go and try them,"
Natsu whined, not wanting to get subjected to such torture.
"What? You lost, now go, shoo!"
"Friggin' icy pants," the dragon slayer grumbled under his breath, sulking away to the dressing area, brushing off the amused looks cast his way by other people.
Gray snickered to himself, continuing to browse through the similar looking pieces of clothes, "You find anything Happy?" he asked the exceed, glancing up at him in question.
The said exceed kept on nibbling on his fish, "Just give her a fish, she'll be happy,"
"She isn't you, she likes strawberry cakes not fi-!" he paused mid-sentence, a sudden thought striking him like a train, "Why didn't I think of this sooner?"
Just then the salmon haired dragon slayer stepped out of the dressing room, brandishing the pale peach dress like a super model. It was stretched taut against his broad shoulders, the zip not even a little closed.
"I don't think…" Natsu began, squinting at himself in the mirror.
"I don't like the color, try another one," Gray stated, throwing another one at him only for the heck of it.
Once the dragon slayer was behind the mirrored door, he started off on his mission. He shuffled around the huge store, pausing in front of the fancy-dress section.
"What are you doing here Gray?" Happy questioned, coming over to float near his shoulder.
"Just you watch Happy; I got the perfect idea for Erza's gift."
Natsu pushed his arms through the straps of the dress, not even making an effort with the zipper knowing the fight was futile. He cursed the ice mage under his breath, throwing open the door and stepping out.
"What 'bout this o-! What the heck is that?" he questioned, gaping incredulously at the foamy bulging Strawberry shortcake thing in the other's grasp.
"Erza's gift,"
"So I got into this," he pointed at the tight dress over his broad, chiseled frame, "for nothing!?"
"Yep, Happy and I wanted something to laugh at, we did, so now we are heading back," Gray said, smirking at the other's crimson face.
"You bloody-!"
"Change first, you idiot. You don't even look a pint of scary in that dress, Pink princess."
Natsu slammed the door shut in Gray's face, cursing ferociously when he heard the other's cackling.
A few minutes later and they were out of the shop, a big bag holding Erza's gift with an obnoxious big bow taped on top of it swinging between them as they walked.
"Am a friggin' genius, admit it you pea brained loser," Gray said, a smug grin on his face.
Natsu glared at him before pointing towards himself, "If you forgot, it was ME who entered that shop!"
"But I was the one who pointed it out!"
"So what? I was the one who decided to check it out!"
"Yah! You wanna fight!?"
"Why not!? It will just prove how much of a loser YOU are!"
"Hah! As if! YOU are the loser!"
"You are!"
"Nope, you are!"
"Didn't you hear me-!? Ow!"
Natsu stumbled back from the impact, Gray instinctively holding his arm to keep him from falling down on his butt. The tall, gangly man, the one Natsu had unceremoniously walked into, towered over them both, his sleek brown hair shimmering in the sunlight.
"Watch where ya go, disrespectful brats,"
The man scoffed, shouldering past the two. Natsu tried to follow to give him a piece of his mind but an arm barred his way, "Don't, you idiot. We don't need you causing a ruckus and destroying half this damn place,"
"But that man-!"
Gray stopped him from speaking further, "Lucy is waiting for us, and we can't have Erza know what we were doing,"
Natsu kicked at the ground like a petulant child before grumbling out a 'fine' and leading the way. Half way to their destination Gray handed the big bag to the other, "Take this, I will tell Luce that we got the job done," and without waiting for a reply he turned towards the baker's, ignoring the dragon slayer's complaints.
Instead of going over to her and risk getting caught by the scarlet-haired mage, he slightly waved his arms around, catching the blonde's attention easily enough. Seeing him Lucy easily understood what he had wanted to convey and nodded, giving him a discreet thumbs up. He nodded, waving his goodbye before heading towards his place.
He had returned late last night from a solo job that required him busting low-class goons and hauling their asses and loot to the nearest guard station. His arms and legs felt horribly sore, but it wasn't something he hadn't experienced. The only thing he wanted now was to get back to his place, take a relaxing bath and sleep the day away on his soft mattress.
He was passing by the forest when he heard weird screeching from amidst the dense foliage. He had half a mind to ignore it and keep walking but his conscience didn't let him. Damn you, he cursed, turning and heading towards the looming trees and thick undergrowth.
Another scream willed him to walk faster. He conjured up an ice sword and made his way into the denser parts, cutting his way through the vegetation blocking his path. Even though it was daytime, inside the forest it felt as if it was midnight; due to the thick forest cover.
"Hey! Am here to help!" He searched his surroundings; hoping to find whoever the person in distress was and help them so he could head back and finally rest his over-worked body.
Sensing movement behind him, he whipped around, his ice-sword raised in a defensive position. "Who's there?" he cautiously asked, taking a quick glance of his surroundings.
Out of thin air, he felt something hit the back of his head, hard. He swung his sword blindly behind him, the momentum making the nauseous feeling worse. Black dots were dancing in front of his eyes, he cursed under his breath, knowing he was going to pass out at this rate.
Suddenly something struck his knees from behind, catching him off-guard, that fucker, causing his legs to buckle under him. Gray felt his body hit the ground with a dull thud. His vision was blurring and spinning, his limbs felt detached and his head was throbbing. And he could swear he felt a pinprick somewhere near his neck.
"Aw fuck," he groaned out, trying to look up and see the sneaky bastard who did this. But all he got was a glimpse of the other's shoes before one of them kicked his temple and at once rendered him unconscious.
Yeol picked up the unconscious mage from the ground and hauled him over his shoulder, leaving his limbs to dangle limply at his sides. He pressed a button on his comm-lacryma,
"Phase 0 completed, master."
