Hey guys! Enjoy this next chapter! And sorry for the delay, school just started so I don't know how I'm going to do this…
~CRASHH! Summer had just finished her meal when a body crashed into her and found herself face down on the floor.
With an annoyed look on her face she quickly got up and looked around. "WHO STARTED IT THIS TIME!?"
She was in the guild hall and had been talking with Wendy and Carla by the bar before being disturbed. It had been about a week after Natsu found her in the ally, and she was part of the guild this time!
Natsu and Gray both pointed at each other and yelled at the same time. "IT WAS HIM!"
Summer lit one of her fists and gave a little grin. "Want me to finish it?!"
With Gray already walking away, Natsu went up to her. "FINALLY! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT, SUMMER!"
"Sure thing! I could take you down any day!" She backed up into an attacking position and Natsu did the same.
They were about to begin their fight but were interrupted when Lucy butted in before anything happened, "WAIT GUYS! Before we have a pointless brawl, how about we take this job? My rent is due in two days and I'm totally broke!"
Summer looked up, "Sounds fun! Haven't taken a job since I joined the guild so why not?"
Wendy walked up to them from the bar looking a bit curious, "Speaking of you joining the guild, mind if I ask where your Fairytail mark is?"
Summer's eyes widened "OH! I almost forgot to show you guys," The young wizard pulled up her short sleeve, exposing her shoulder to show off her new guild mark and smiled "Mira stamped it a few days ago, I figured yellow would match my sun magic so there it is!"
Natsu smiled, "I know this might be late, but welcome to the guild!"
"Thanks! Now, how about that job?" Summer smiled and turned her attention to Lucy who was holding the poster.
"We got to catch some bandits… they've been running around Magnolia for a while now…" Lucy paused for a second before continuing, "It has to be the bandits that attacked you Summer. It seems they are from a dark guild called Black Lightning… You don't have to come with us you know."
Summer looked a bit surprised at first. Flashbacks from being beaten and thrown against a wall came rushing back, but it only made her angry. "I can deal with them! Now that my shoulders better I can teach them a lesson, no problem!"
"If you say so!" Lucy replied.
Like a flash of lightning, Natsu punched his left palm and grinned. "Then that settles it! Your coming with us!"
Summer was fangirling on the inside, but somehow managed to play it cool. "Yeah! Let's go!"
The young wizard looked around the busy town for anything suspicious. The team had split up to look for the bandits through Magnolia so she was by herself. Summer sighed in annoyance when she couldn't find them till an idea popped in her head. I should be looking in the allies! I'm so dumb! When she saw an opening through two buildings she started walking toward it until she heard a loud crash coming from the other side of the street.
"What was that?!" The girl looked around to see that nobody else noticed the noise. Looks like I have enhanced hearing too, now that I'm a dragon slayer.
"Time for me to kick butt!" She then launched herself on top of a roof, using magic on her feet as little rocket boosters. When Summer landed she paused before darting from roof to roof towards the commotion. "It's getting louder so I must be close…" After a moment or two she halted and looked around. "Where is it!?" She exclaimed in confusion. Suddenly a metal trashcan came hurling towards her. "WHAT TH-?" She jumped towards the ground, barely dodging it after it bounced off the roof into the street, making lots of noise as it did so.
The teen stood up and looked towards the ally where it came from, "Found em." And with that she jumped off the roof and into the commotion.
"Honestly…" Shaking his head, the boy face palmed. "You guys thought you could take my stuff so easily? I don't think so!" He smirked at the bandits laying on the ground and shifted his gaze towards the leader. They were muscular but were defiantly weaker than how they looked. He also noticed a black lightning mark on the dude's neck.
"Take this!" The tall man picked up a metal trash can and rocketed it towards the teen who dodged it as it flew right passed him on top of the roof next to them.
"Is that all you got? I can finish you off right now but I don't think I'll waste my time in a fight I'm guaranteed to win." He then turned around and started walking away, but that only made his opponent mad.
"We'll see about that!" The leader aimed a fist towards him before he heard a shout coming from somewhere above.
"WATCHOUT!" He was taken aback when he saw a flash of light and staggered back a few steps. He shook his head to regain his balance and noticed the leader on the ground.
Standing over the bandit was a blonde girl that looked about his age, maybe even a bit younger with a stern look in her eyes.
"Remember me?! If you don't then maybe I can jog your memory, my name is Summer of Fairy Tail and I'm here to make sure you stop causing trouble!" The girl pointed at the bandit and lit up one of her fists in a golden flame.
"SORRY! I remember you, I- I'm sorry p-please don't hurt me!"
She paused and looked down at the bandit, "Promise?"
"YES, YES I PROMISE JUST PLEASE LET ME GO!" A gasp came from one of the bandit's friends who were on the ground and the girl looked slightly surprised too.
After a moment or two she replied "Ok, but if you steal from anyone ever again I won't show you any mercy!" She stepped back and the bandit quickly got up and darted out of the ally followed by his companion.
Who is this girl?! He thought.
Summer sighed, looked away from the fleeing bandits, and scanned the boy looking up at her from the ground. He had dark brown hair with black tips, and brown eyes to go with it. He had a tan skin tone similar to Natsu's, when he stood up she noticed he was probably only an inch shorter than her.
"Not bad for a girl." He smirked at her
"Excuse me? Girls can fight just as good as a guy can! Not to mention I just saved your butt from getting hit back there." Summer snapped back
The boy rolled his eyes "Yeah whatever." He started to turn away before Summer snatched the back of his shirt.
"Wait a sec!"
He turned his head to look at her and there was a pause "Need something?"
Summer sensed something. It was weird, it was comforting, it was fate.
"What's your name?" She asked.
The boy looked surprised at first, but then faced her "Rayleigh," He reached out his hand and replied "Summer, is it?"
She squeaked "Huh? How did you know?!"
Rayleigh coolly answered, while still reaching out his hand "You made quite an introduction when you pinned that bandit."
Summer took his hand and they shook "Right."
Rayleigh then nodded "Welp, I got to go find a cozy ally to spend the night. Seeya!"
"You can stay at Fairytail." Summer lifted her sleeve to show him her guild mark.
"What's that?"
"It's a magic guild… we have an infirmary so you could spend the night there. It's dark in the ally's too sooo…
Rayleigh tilted his head "Why would you invite me?"
Summer simply replied "Well, you helped us get rid of the bandits which was part of our job today. So it's the least we can do."
"If that's okay, I suppose one night wouldn't hurt."
Summer couldn't help but feel a little joy, and that hasn't happened in a while. "I can show you where it is!"
"Lead the way!" Rayleigh followed her and the two were off.
Back home, back to the guild, back to Fairy Tail.
