Fairy Tail Xros Epoch
The Goa Kingdom.
A problem county with a population of 9 million.
It is a world of magic.
Magic is bought and sold there like anything else,
And is deeply ingrained in the people's lives.
There are even some who make a living using magic.
These people are referred to as wizards.
These wizards belong to many different guilds
And accept jobs brought to them.
There are many guilds in this kingdom,
And there's a certain wizard guild in a certain town...
A guild from which countless legends were once born-
Nay, one that will continue to create legends well into the future.
Its name...
Straw Hat!
Episode 1: New Members
Within the kingdom of Goa there reside many guilds that serve its many citizens. These guilds can provide a wide variety of skill range from simply cleaning up to defeating a monster. However, within the last few years, a new guild had appeared from out of nowhere. The moment this guild and its master had set up shop, they had become a legend overnight and were known all across the kingdom. Let us look inside the legend as we now head to the guild's base of operations; Grand Line.
Grand Line is a large town full of magic and adventure, much thanks to the guild that was based here. It was practically a metropolis, one of the largest in the Goa Kingdom. Anything and everything can be found here. This was certainly a great place to live, which is much to the goal of three that had just arrived along with something much more.
On the edge of the city near the coast, a tall building resembling a small castle or even a small stone fortress stood; it had two towers in the front and one large tower in the back middle. All the towers wore the Straw Hat guild symbol; a straw hat over a smiling skull-and-crossbones. Many had commented on how it resembled a jolly roger that pirates often raised, and if you knew this guild you could say that it wasn't too far off. The front had a large, stone gateway that lead inside the impressive guild with a small stand to the side selling merchandise of various guild members. It is here that we find three figures standing outside.
"We're finally here." The first of the three spoke, a skinny, very attractive woman-with light brown skin, long flowing dark brown hair, and deep emerald colored eyes- roughly nineteen wearing a dressy black and silver with only one strap (left) top with a picture of a red rose on it, a pair of black capris, and a pair of black and silver sandals. She looked up and down the building gazing with amazement along with her friends.
"We're finally at Straw Hat."
"Easy now, Nicole." Next to the older women, a much younger teen female-with shiny, long jet-black hair hiding her eyes somewhat and black eyes-wearing a black coat with a hood and silver tribal marking covering it. Underneath her coat she wore a blood red dress shirt, black shorts, and silver spiked combat boots. She was acting less amazed then her older friend, trying to look calm and collective. Despite currently chewing on a lollipop.
"We're not in yet."
"Don't be so sour, Lena." The short teen female looked over to their last friend. Their friend was a big fellow hidden under layers of tan clothing and a cloak from top to bottom. He was carrying a large anchor on his back along with a few bags, mostly likely a mix of his and his friends' stuff. With goggles covering his eyes, he too looked with amazement of the castle-like guild building that housed Straw Hat.
"I'm sure you'll both be able to make it into Straw Hat."
"What about you Ryuudo?" The well-covered man looked over to Nicole as she looked at him with worry in her eyes. The giant man sighed realizing that this was coming and turned to the women.
"She's right." Lena soon spoke up along with Nicole as she joined her side sounding just as concerned as Nicole was. Ryuudo raised an eyebrow surprised that the young teen would speak up. "You're just as much a part of this group as we are, I bet you can join."
The man smiled underneath his loose mask, happy to see that he was so well cared for. Of course, it was all useless for this situation. "Thanks guys, but you two are the wizards. Not me."
"But Ryuudo." Nicole spoke very distressingly as she practically went begging to Ryuudo to stay. Underneath the mask, the huge man was blushing and flabbergasted unable to retort. Even Lena joined in.
"Please Ryuudo."
"Yeah Ryuudo! Please stay!" All three paused when they heard a new voice enter their conversation. They all looked behind with surprised expressions as they saw another female doing same as Nicole and begging the man not to go.
The woman was slightly older than Lena, yet younger than Nicole. She had dark brown hair with even darker brown eyes and slightly tanned white skin. She was wearing a small light blue tank-top with a small gold necklace and pendent-which was a straw hat casually over a mikan fruit- around her neck, white jeans with a red belt and a circular buckle, and red high-heel sandals. Along her hip, a sword was hanging off the side of her left hip. The woman spoke again, still sounding just as wanting as Nicole had been earlier. "Please can't you stay."
"Uh? Who are you?" All three spoke in unison as they pointed to the newcomer questionably. Seeing them take notice of her, the woman quickly stopped her begging and returned to an upright position giving the group a wide, happy grin.
"Oh! Sorry, I'm Mika. I'm a member of this guild." The three guild member hopefuls stared unbelievably at the woman claiming to be a guild member of the Straw Hat. As Ryuudo and Lena gawked in surprise with Nicole just looking surprised, Mika's smile disappeared replaced with a confused look.
"What's wrong?"
"You're a member of Straw Hat?" Still confused, Mika nodded her head to the younger teen as she pulled her left shoulder shirt sleeve up revealing a red-orange guild mark matching with the guild symbol. The group was surprised even more so as they looked back up to the woman.
Of course, the woman was still confused. "Yeah, didn't I just say that?" She looked at each member of the group giving them a confused look. Except Ryuudo, who she was curiously interested in.
"But this is a guild of legends!" Lena spoke up again as she gestured to the impressive guild building behind them. Mika looked confused at the younger girl than back up to the building then back at Lena. "These guys have some of the most powerful wizards on Earth!"
"So? It's still a guild." Despite Mika's simple answer, the group was taken aback by her statement. Each member of the group looked at each other, all rather confused and unsure what to do next.
"Well, we just thought that-"
"Shishishi, you guys are so weird." Nicole was quickly interrupted by Mika's snickering and sentence as the guild member grinned at the potential members. Though Nicole was rather curious about Mika, Ryuudo and Lena felt slightly insulted by the woman. However, before they could speak their joint complaint, Mika began pushing the three inside.
"W-What are you doing!"
"You said you wanted to join, right?" Answering Ryuudo's question, all three looked at the woman as she continued to push them in with a happy grin on her face. All three were speechless as Mika continued to push them into the main building.
As they finally entered, all four was greeted with loud howls and shouts from the many guild members inside. No one had seemed to have taken notice of the group's entrance as they still continued-undisturbed- in whatever activity they were doing. While the new members gawked at the scene, Mika was the only one not surprised at the scene. In fact, she seemed all most itching to join in. Of course, she couldn't just let three potential members be own their own just yet.
"Hey Everyone!" The three hopefuls looked over to Mika as she shouted as louder than everyone in the whole room combined, instantly gaining everyone's attention. At first, many looked a bit displeased being interrupted, but quickly lost this sense of displeasure as they saw who was the one speaking.
"I'm Home! And I've brought some new friends!"
'Why does she sound like a child returning home from playing.' Ryuudo and Lena both had the same thought as they looked at the woman unbelievably. Nicole, however, found it rather cute and very enjoyable of how Mika was acting to the guild. Mika didn't seem to catch their looks as she smiled and waved to the guild.
"Welcome Back!" The three were surprised as the whole guild was suddenly alive with joyful cheers, all for Mika. Looking back at Mika, the gawking group looked over to Mika as she just laughed.
"Mika~!" Suddenly, like a bullet, a yellow blur whooshed past through the crowd and past the group smacking right into Mika. The group looked in shock as they saw Mika crash to the ground-laughing-as she head onto whatever crashed into her.
"Ahaha! Hey Biri!" Mika didn't seem too bothered by the sudden impact as she lifted a yellow cat into the air. The group looked curiously at the cat, they could see it was wearing a rooster's crown and its tail was slightly fluffed up from midway to the end. Looking at the cat more closely, it certainly didn't look like an average cat. More like some kind of teddy bear cat.
"Where've you been?" The group stepped back in shock as the cat now spoke. All of them thought the same thought; what kind of cat is that? It only got weirder as when Mika set the cat down, it sprouted wings and floated up to Mika's height as she stood up.
"Man, that little Exceed's been flying all around looking for you." One of the guild members, a male with black hair wearing sunglasses and tan skin, spoke up recounting the scurry the flying cat had been doing with a hearty smile.
"Practically was tearing the guild a part looking for you Little sis Mika." Another guild member spoke up, another male with a shaved head and wearing a red head ornament, as he too wore a hearty smile followed by a laugh.
Mika gave a nervous laugh as she rubbed the back of her head embarrassingly. "Sorry, I was trying out a new attack! It's awesome!"
"Yohohoho! It sounds like you were successful in your training, Little Mika." Hearing a new voice from behind them, the newcomers turned to see who was speaking. Only to be totally stunned and horrified at what they saw. Standing right in front of them was a tall, sharply dressed, with an afro, holding a cane, skeleton bearing straight down on them.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Ahhhh! Demon!"
"Demon! Where?" The whole guild laughed as the newcomers and the skeleton freaked out in unison. The women ran behind Ryuudo as the skeleton ran the opposite direction going in no direction whatsoever. With the guild's laughter calming down, the girls looked from behind the freaked Ryuudo as they saw the skeleton still freaking out.
"Brook, they're talking about you!" As Mika spoke out, her tone still sounding like she was going to laugh, the skeleton stopped and looked back to the group with a blank stare.
"Ah yes." The skeleton quickly resumed back to polite posture now relaxed and calm. The guild laughed again at the skeleton's sudden attitude change while the skeleton walked up to the scared group giving them a bow.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness; I am "Dead Bones" Brook, at your service." With the skeleton giving himself a full introduction, the scared group seem to warm up seeing how polite he was. Both girls moved back to the front of Ryuudo with Nicole giving the skeleton a small, nervous wave.
"Hello, we would like to join Straw Hat." Nicole spoke rather timidly trying to be brave in the face of the skeleton. Brook seemed taken aback a bit as he stood erect in surprise. The whole guild seem to go quite at her and her friends' request making the group wonder if they had made a mistake.
However, soon the whole guild was erupting with cheers and howl all of which were joyous. The group of three looked surprised at the guild then turned to Mika, Biri, and Brook as they smiled at the group with Brook speaking. "Of course, you can join!"
"Really?" All three spoke at the same time sounding both astounded and surprised that they were so easily accepted. In fact, many of the guild members were already giving their congratulations to the group for joining. The whole while, the three stared confusedly.
"That was…easy." Ryuudo spoke with some uncertainty while the girls were just overjoyed that they all could join. Brook then gestured to the side pointing deeper inside the mess that was the guild.
"Just follow Mika and everything will be set up for you."
"Yeah, follow me!" Quicker than a flash, Mika grabbed Lena-why her they didn't know- as she and Biri walked into the crowded mess that was the guild members. Nicole and Ryuudo quickly followed behind as they traveled past their new nakama.
"Oi, what did you say Marimo!" As the group reached the bar at the other end of the huge main hall, they were surprised to see two men readying to fight each other, and looking much like a duel to the death. On the other side of the counter, a finely dressed blond haired man-with his hair covering his right eye while his other eye had a weird curled eyebrow-was furiously having a stare down with a green haired man-wearing a green robe with an obi underneath it and his left eye scarred unable to open- holding onto a long black sword.
"What? Hard of hearing too, Idiot-Cook." The three froze in uncertainness as the aura around the two was almost frightening to the inexperienced wizards. However, that didn't stop Mika and Biri from walking up to both men with Mika looking very mad.
"What did I tell you about fighting!" With an overbearing commanding voice, Mika was able to stop both men. The green haired man seemed to be irritated with the girl while the blond seemed to not only listen, but suddenly go into a lovey dovey mode.
"~Of course, Mika-swan~!" The group of three seemed confused at the man's overbearing affection towards the much younger girl. Either way, it seemed to make Mika happy as the two men separated as the blond twirled to Mika's side.
"~What can I do for you, Mika-swan~."
"Nothing for me Sanji, I just need to know where the master is. We have new members!" The man quickly went out of his love mode as he took time to think. During so, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a magic flame, and smoked before giving an answer.
"Yeah, down the bar." Mika grinned happily and was instantly off to get the master of the guild. Not sure what to do, the three decided to stay with Sanji until Mika got the master. As the three took a seat, the man addressed them.
"You must be the new members." All three looked to Sanji curiously as the man decided to occupy himself by cleaning a few dishes. Before any of them could answer, Biri popped up with his tiny arm sticking up.
"Aye! We found them just outside the guild."
"Really, so you were planning on joining." Sanji sent the three a friendly smile as he cleaned a cup. Ryuudo remained stoic and silent while Lena and Nicole nodded.
"Yes, I've wanted to join ever since I heard the best chef worked here." With Nicole speaking directly to Sanji, the blond chef smiled proudly seeing that he had not only attracted another beauty to the guild, but a future chef.
"I'm honored that you think so highly young miss." Nicole blushed at Sanji's compliment as the man started to prepare a drink for two. As he finished preparing, he slid the drinks to the two girls.
"Thank you." Both ladies spoke with gratitude as the sipped into their drinks. Both found the drinks delicious unintentionally making one big fella a little envious.
"Do I get a drink, being a new member and all." Sanki looked over to the covered up fellow with an unconcerned look as he continued with his washing. However, the man did pick up a plastic menu and slid it down the way for Ryuudo to catch. He picked he up and curiously read.
"A menu?"
"You have to pay." Sanji spoke very serious as he took a huff from his cigarette and blew it out. Ryuudo looked appalled as his jaw was clearly dropped, and looked to the girls to hopefully speak for him. Unfortunately, they were so into their drinks they had missed the conversation all together.
"Dammit."
"Sanji! I'm Moving Down!" The group of three soon broke from their own situations as they heard a very loud voice speak from down the bar. As they looked down the way, they were shocked to see a large pile of plates, some with food some without, came skidding towards them. They all backed away, but the plates stopped just before hitting them. Only Sanji and Biri didn't seem to be worried as they stood in their spots.
"Che. Luffy, don't scare the new members." The chef only replied with a sigh as he kept cleaning. As the group looked back down, they saw Mika dragging an older man with black hair wearing a straw hat-along with wearing a red, opened shirt revealing a large X scar, blue shorts with a yellow slash tied around his waist, and had an unusual scar under his left eye-and smiling an oddly similar grin to Mika's own.
"Is that…Master Monkey D. Luffy." spoke Lena as she and the rest of the group stared at the man that was said to be the strongest in the whole guild. Compared to the other men they had just met, he hardly seemed like someone with the title of guild master.
"Oh, these are the new guys?" The three froze as the man casually looked over the three. They all felt very nervous for some reason, despite not sure why this one guy was inspecting them. Eventually the straw hat wearing finished and gave Mika a huge grin.
"Okay, they're clear."
"Huh?" Before any of them could speak, Luffy sat down to where all his plate and food was seemingly picking up where he left off. On the other, Mika was cheerfully smiling as she ran to the group in excitement.
"What did I tell you! You're all in!" The group gasped in surprise, especially Ryuudo as he was already set in leaving to continue on his own path. The girls, however, looked very excited that they all were going to be joining the same guild.
"Really!"
"Yeah, let's-"
"Mika!" With the loud roar from the upper part of the room, Mika immediately froze unable to finish her talk with her new nakama. The three new members stared at their new nakama curiously, but soon took notice how everyone in the guild was quite. Before any of them could speak, they heard the loud stomps of whoever was upstairs.
"Uh oh, you're in trrrrouble." spoke Biri as he rolled the r in his sentence while also acting all innocent placing his paws in front of him hiding his smile. Luckily for him, the young girl was way too concerned about her current predicament to reply back. As the stomping finally stopped, everyone-including the newcomers-looked above the bar where someone stood.
As the group looked up along with everyone, they saw a women with long, wavy orange hair-wearing only a bra underneath a vest with jeans and red high heels-as she looked furiously down upon the guild like a god. No one made eye contact with the women as they quickly looked away, with the only person actually doing anything being Luffy as he continued to eat. As the woman scanned the crowd, she soon pinpointed her target. "Mika!"
The group looked back to where Mika was standing when they saw that she was trying to sneak away. However, the young teen had been too late to escape as she froze with her name being spoken again. Mika nervously looked above with a matching nervous smile to boot. "H-H-Hi m-"
"Where do you think you're going!" The women stopped Mika from speaking as she threw herself over the railing. The group watched as the lady landed with ease just in front of them facing Mika, now incredibly nervous.
"Look, I can explain-"
"Oh no, not this time Namika." The group watched the scene with interest as they saw the once carefree Mika now breaking under the glare of this strange woman. None of them were sure what to do, but they soon realized that they may have made a mistake.
Sensing the uneasiness, Luffy chuckled to himself as he continued to eat before saying with a large grin. "Welcome to Straw Hat."

Author's note
Yo! This Hotspot the 626th here to lay some facts down for the previous story-chapter.
For those who don't or are not familiar with the alliance that me, Oxenstierna D. Yuki-Rin, and Danthemanwithaplan7 (At least, that's what I call it XD) are a part of, I should explain a bit of the characters that are not from my fic.
Danthemanwithaplan7 OCs: These characters come from a future generation Naruto fic called The Tale of Team 17, which can be found in my favorites.
Kushina Uzumaki – Parents: Naruto and Hinata
Minato Lee – Parents: Rock Lee and Sakura
Satsuki – Parents: actually I'm sworn to keep this one a secret until it's finally revealed in his fic.
Oxenstierna D. Yuki-Rin OCs: Yuki-Rin, Molly, and Kazuma. The come from her fic, One Piece: Parallel Works. Actually, these guys you can ask the author yourself. She is very forward about them and would be glad to answer any questions about them. Except she won't know much about what will be going on in this fic unless I tell her beforehand.
And one review had me shocked! PokemonFAN asked what a Shiny Pokémon is. Like I explained, Shiny Pokémon is Pokémon with colorations different from normal. These Pokémon are incredibly rare to find in the wild and you'd have to be born on the luckiest day (7/7/07), step on a leprechaun, and find a seven-leaf clover to ever find one in the game. Every Pokémon, including legendries, has a Shiny form. To see examples of such Pokémon, head to and check out the PokeDex feature they have. Click on a Pokémon and it'll show everything you'd ever need to know about that Pokémon in the games.
I think that solves any unanswered questions.
I'm sure as some of you are aware; this story is not like the one in the Omake Corner. This is because I decided that this story would go better with less important characters in one guild. I also wanted to make this more my own than just copying a few bits from the original.
To Yuki-Rin I like to say that I have not forgotten the Capricorns. They will be in here, just to a lesser degree than the original.
This also goes to Dan whenever he decides to rejoin the online community.
And I'm also putting a shout out to those who are reading this. As a request from me, I would like to ask each reviewer to suggest one-and I mean one-anime for me to do in the Xros Epoch. This will only work for your next review or whenever you decide to cash it in.
And remember, the more reviews a certain chapter gets the more likely for it to update. This excludes the first story, just a note for future stories.
Also, thanks for all the suggestion from the previous story-chapter. Though I can't promise I'll use all of them, I thank you anyways for ideas.
Until next time! Ja Ne!
