The fight escalated quickly.

Kazuki and Thierry charged each other and began slugging it out. Thierry landed a hard punch to Kazuki's temple and a swift kick to his shin. Kazuki grunted and sent a roundhouse kick to Thierry's side. Thierry growled and slammed his head into Kazuki's, dazing the Element Dragon Slayer.

Capitalizing on the distraction, Thierry coated his fist with a dark, malevolent aura. "War God's Raging Fist!" he shouted and threw his fist into Kazuki's stomach. Kazuki gasped in pain and was sent flying into the bar. Thierry smirked at the damage.

"How'd you like that, gecko-san?" he asked mockingly.

Kazuki jumped up and fumed. "Is this your answer?!" he roared. "Water Dragon's Raging Typhoon!"

Kazuki sent a giant tornado of water at Thierry, who only had time to stare in shock as the attack hit him dead on and sent him crashing into several tables. Now, it was Kazuki's turn to smirk.

"Why don't you take a breather and not get up, you red eyed freak," Kazuki said smugly.

"War God's… Bloody Spear!"

Kazuki was thrown backwards as a red spear slammed into his chest. He gasped as he hit the wall, creating spider web cracks on the surface. He opened his eyes and glared at Thierry. Thierry glared back.

Then they both started charging up their magics. The others in the room looked on in awe and fear as the two's magic spike excessively high. Just as they were about to attack, they both were pushed to the ground by two large fists.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GAKI TRYING TO DO?! DESTROY MY GUILD HALL?!" Makarov shouted madly.

The two boys grunted as they fought against Makarov. He simply pressed down harder. "Until you boys calm down, we'll be here all day!" he told them.

He heard them sigh and cease struggling. He removed his fists and Thierry bolted for the door, slamming it open and running out.

"Master! What are you thinking?! He's getting away!" a guild member shouted.

"Don't worry, he can't leave Magnolia," Makarov said. "He needs to cool down. Much like Kazuki needs too."

Kazuki scoffed and sat cross-legged on the floor, arms crossed as he glared at the wall. The other teens looked on in shock, fear and awe.

Natsu scoured Magnolia in search of Thierry. It wasn't that difficult to track him down. The young salmon haired Dragon Slayer found him at the edge of Magnolia, punching away at a magical barrier. Judging by the destruction around him, Natsu assumed Thierry had tried some of his more powerful spells out on the barrier.

Which seemed to only work in wearing Thierry out.

"Just so you know," Natsu said loudly, "Makarov is the most powerful mage in Magnolia right now. You're not going to get through that barrier."

"Shut up!"

"Hey, don't hate the truth. I personally don't care what you do. You wanna wear yourself out, go ahead." Natsu shook his head. "You really need to learn how to talk to people."

"I can't help that my brain to mouth filter's broken!" Thierry shot back as his fist landed on the barrier with a loud crack.

Natsu sighed. "Thierry, you're stuck here, whether you like it or not," he said. "My advice is get used to it. You can't out argue Jiji. Trust me, I know."

Thierry did not turn as Natsu left. He stayed slumped against the invisible barrier as he contemplated his options. None seemed too good, in his opinion. He sighed and pushed himself up. "Hey, Natsu!"

Kazuki glared at the streets below him. He had finally calmed down some odd hours ago but he was still sore that Thierry had gotten to him. He lost his temper and attacked. It got to him because he was always had amazing control over his emotions.

But since joining Fairy Tail, his control had been shot to hell. He groaned as he laid back against the roof he was sitting on. "So this is where you're sulking," a familiar voice piped from behind him.

He didn't even turn around. "What do you want, Erza?" he asked.

"I thought I'd come and see how you're doing after your fight with the new guy," Erza replied. "You took quite a beating."

"I'm fine, thanks," Kazuki sighed. "I'm just so pissed that I fell into his little trap."

"His trap?"

"He purposely made me mad and tempted me to lose my temper," Kazuki explained. "And I fell for it. Hook, line, sinker," he moped.

"Well, when you put it like that, yes, it's all your fault," Erza said smiling, making Kazuki frown. Erza sighed.

"Look, Kazuki, I get that Thierry pisses you off. He's doing a good job of pissing me off too and he's only been here less than a day," Erza said. "But if Master believes he needs to be here, it's not our place to say otherwise. The best we can do is tolerate him." She turned and left, her piece said.

Kazuki continued to stare at the sky as he contemplated what Erza said. How very depressing, he mused to himself.

Thierry walked the streets of Magnolia, trying to locate Kazuki. After talking to Natsu, he tried to find the damn gecko slayer and ask him why he stayed at Fairy Tail. He was extremely irritated because he couldn't find the guy and he kept running into other Fairy Tail members.

It still helped him get an understanding as to why they stayed at the guild. He knew Natsu's reason: he wanted to be stronger so he could find Igneel. No gimmicks. No smoke and mirrors. Nothing special in his reasoning.

He had asked the redhead- Ezra or something like that- but she seemed to shut down. He narrowed his eyes at her silence but didn't pry. He knew what it was like to have a tragic past.

The Strauss siblings were there because their village kicked them out because of Mira's Take Over Magic and Fairy Tail was the first place they had ended up. He growled at the blatant racism. He hated people like that. And to someone as nice as Mira! The nerve! Okay, Mira wasn't as nice as Lisanna but Thierry thought Mira was a very beautiful young woman. He allowed her to have some leeway.

The Fullbuster kid was at Fairy Tail because he and his master, Ur, had moved there after Deliora disappeared and just fell in love with Fairy Tail. The damn kid had the nerve to challenge him and demand to know how he had killed Deliora. Thierry snorted. Needless to say, the kid got his butt handed to him.

As walked on, a pebble hit him in the head. He growled and looked up at who hit him. Kazuki was lying on a roof above him, casually flicking pebbles down to the street. Thierry scowled and grunted as he jumped up to the roof. Landing beside Kazuki.

Kazuki didn't turn to look at him. "Albino," he mumbled.

"Marimo," Thierry mumbled back as he sat down.

They didn't say anything to each to other after that. They stared at the setting sun as Kazuki would occasionally flick a pebble down to the street below. Thierry broke the silence.

"Hey, bet ya don't know why the sun sets red?" Thierry inquired. "It's because out of all the colors of the light spectrum, red travels the farthest."

Kazuki scoffed. "Like I asked, know-it-all," he replied mockingly.

Thierry smirked, before his face turned serious. "You know the real reason they vanished, right?" he asked.

Kazuki grimaced. "Yeah," he said reluctantly.

"Thought so," Thierry nodded. "You don't fight like Natsu. And he doesn't have the same look in his eyes like you do. Not to mention you have some of Amaterasu's magic swirling around you."

Kazuki's eyes flew open as he turned to glare at Thierry. "Don't look so shocked! I'm a God Slayer. I can sense other God Slayers. Your dragon magic just masks Amaterasu's quite a bit, obviously meaning you don't use your God Slayer magic too often."

"I won't ever use that magic," Kazuki growled.

"You should. Then you might a hope in beating me," Thierry said. "But hey, I get it. I don't use Okaa-san's magic that much either. For about about the same reason."

Kazuki's eyes widened at the insinuation. "Who?"

"Chaos," Thierry said. "But I'm not her true God Slayer. She was adamant that she wouldn't put me through being the burden of being the God Slayer for two gods."

Kazuki stared at Thierry incredulously. "Is that how you killed Deliora?"

Thierry scoffed. "Why does everyone think I killed it?" he demanded. "Yeah, he vanished and I was seen in the vicinity but Kami, there are other explanations!" He growled. "I sent the demon to a different dimension. That's what Okaa-san taught me: Spatial Magic. I simply sent the beast to a place where it couldn't harm anyone."

"That's almost kind of you," Kazuki remarked.

"I needed to fill my quota on good deeds for the month," Thierry replied back smoothly.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

"Then it's a good thing I didn't have good intentions."

"You just said you were filling your quota on good deeds that month!"

"Only because the beast tried to kill me first! I banished it in self-defense! I just let count as a good deed because it wouldn't terrorize the countryside and disturb my peace and tranquillity."

"I didn't know you knew such a long word. Good on you."

"Was that sarcasm? I couldn't tell because it was just so badly presented."

On a different rooftop, Makarov was smiling. Those two were already acting like brothers should. He did frown at what Thierry said. What did he mean about the real reason they vanished? Thierry was raising more questions than the old guild master could answer. And Kazuki himself was one big question mark.

What was so bad about the kid that the Magic Council would order every guild to turn him down should he ask to join? Just who was Kazuki? And why was his presence so frightening to Grand Doma?

Not that it mattered anymore. Makarov didn't care what Council wanted. The moment he saw Kazuki, he didn't see some evil that shouldn't be allowed into a guild. Into a family.

No. He saw a young boy who was lost in the world. One that needed a purpose. A direction. And Makarov would always offer such answers.

And then Thierry. What was his connection to Avatar that they would so diligently search for him? What did they want with the kid?

However, right now, it didn't matter. Kazuki was opening up and he knew Thierry would soon. They had been alone for a long time but he knew it would get better for them.

The next day, everyone was at the were enjoying themselves when the doors opened up, and Thierry walked in. The Crazy Eight looked up and watched as he moved to stand in front of Makarov. Makarov opened one eye and stared at him.

"Yes, can I help you?" he asked, even though he knew the answer.

"I want to join your guild," Thierry said clearly, no hesitation in his voice.

This caused all talking in the guild hall to vanish. Makarov raised an eyebrow at the boy. "And why should I let you join?" he prompted.

"Besides the fact you seem pretty freaking adamant in keeping me in Magnolia?" Thierry asked sarcastically. "It's not like I got somewhere else to be. I have no money, no way of getting home, if I can even call it that," he grumbled the last part but Makarov caught it. "I guess it's because I'm tired. Tired of just wandering. And I can't get stronger if I went back. This place seems to be where all the tough guys gather so hanging around here would be beneficial in becoming stronger."

Makarov stared at the youth with a trained eye. Thierry shifted his weight. Makarov was very intimidating, despite his short stature.

Finally, Makarov seemed to find what he was looking for, for he smiled and said, "Then allow me to welcome you home, Thierry." His voice was so serene, that Thierry couldn't help but give a small smile in return.

This caused the whole guild to drop to the ground.

"Master! You can't serious!" one shouted.

"He and Kazuki were trying to kill each other yesterday!" another shouted, much to Kazuki's ire.

"Thierry's just had rough day yesterday," Makarov said dismissively. "Happens to the best of us. Now, as to where he will be staying…"

The Crazy Eight had a bad feeling about this.

"I think having him stay with the Crazy Eight will be sufficient," he finished with an evil grin.

Thierry was confused until Kazuki yelled out, "Hell no! I am not staying under the same roof as that freak!"

Thierry turned and stared at Kazuki and… the… seven others… staring at Makarov in horror…

"No."

"You have no choice, gaki," Makarov said cheerfully. "Either you stay with them or I won't take the spell keeping you in Magnolia off!"

"Damn you, old man!" Thierry shouted.

"I trust you eight will show him where your dorm is," Makarov said as he jumped off the bar and walked off.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Laxus demanded.

"To file some paperwork," Makarov replied.

"You can't honestly think leaving me with the marimo is a good idea, right?!" Thierry shouted.

"Who're you calling marimo, albino?!" Kazuki snarled as he kicked Thierry into a table.

Thierry immediately jumped up and slammed his fist into Kazuki's head, sending him flying into several other guild members. "YOU, ya shit faced marimo!"

Makarov turned back around and saw the whole guild had somehow broken into a large scale fight. Makarov wept openly.
