Fairy Tail: The Legend of Guan Suo
After saving the village from a random bandit attack, Guan Suo was labeled a hero while as the village celebrated its freedom from The Thunder Fangs. In the aftermath, Guan Suo was taken to the village elder and his daughter who congratulated the young warrior with extreme gratitude. To repay his kindness, the village elder at Guan Suo's request gave him information about the mysterious world he had transported to. It seemed that this was a world where humans had the potential to use magic and with it formed a powerful government. Guan Suo also learned of the magical guilds and about the good deeds these guilds had performed. And with additional information, he learned of a nearby town in the south known as Magnolia which was said to be home to the strongest magic guild in all of Fiore. Deciding that would be his next course of action, Guan Suo decided to leave the village and set out for Magnolia as he bid farewell to the villagers. Two days have passed since then, and Guan Suo's journey was setting out quite well until he ran into a blue haired a girl and a cat that were traveling on the road. With immediate haste, he set out to rush to their aid.
"My goodness! What is a young girl such as yourself doing all by yourself on the road?", said Guan Suo who was holding the young girl in his hands.
"Ughhhh….", was all the young girl could say.
"Please, tell me what happened! Is there anything I can do for you?"
"We're…"
"Yes?"
"We're…"
"Yes, please tell me what it is I can do for you."
"We're…"
"Yes, tell me what it is you and your companion need."
"We're…"
"Yes!?"
And to answer his question, he heard a large growl coming from the young girl and her cat's stomach.
"We're hungry.", said the young girl.
Guan Suo was taken aback by this predicament. It seemed that this girl not only traveled with a cat, but she came with no food whatsoever. Guan Suo couldn't help but laugh nervously and scratch his head.
"hahaha… oh my, it seems you traveled on your own with no supplies. Oh well, you have nothing fear. Don't worry, I won't abandon you. I'll be sure you recover in no time.", said Guan Suo.
Meanwhile, in Magnolia…
Located southeast of Fiore with the sea not too far and with Hageon Town not too far lies the merchant city of Magnolia. It not held a population of sixty thousand people, but it was home to one of the strongest guild that existed in all of Fiore. Fairy Tail was its name, and its members we're proud. However, its reputation was not its best suit of action. Stories have been told where Fairy Tails actions were questionable to the Magic Council, with their actions always ending with nothing but destruction and mayhem. Nonetheless, its guild leader Makarov held his belief of his guild quite firm, and continued to inspire Fairy Tail to perform its own action without anything holding them all back. Their base of headquarters was a giant castle looking structure with many ornaments and decorations that made it stand out from other buildings. But the one thing that made this building stand out was the Fairy Tail banner that held the guilds symbol, a fairy that had a tail on it. For its members, life was nothing but a normal day, for everyday was a lively one in the guild hall. Yet today, things were not so lively…
In the main hall of the guild building…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WENT OFF ON A JOB ALL BY HERSELF!?", shouted a young female guild member. She had scarlet red hair and her breast size was quite large. She wore what seemed like a maidens armor with a heart kreuz symbol, with the Fairy Tail symbol on the left of her chest plate. Her name was Erza Scarlet, and she was a mage of Fairy Tail who specializes in magic know as "requip", and with her were three of her most trusted teammates.
The first one was a male who was quite lean and had quite a muscle build on him. He wore a sleeveless gold trimmed black waistcoat. He also wore white knee length trousers and wore black open toed sandals. On his left wrist he had a black wristband and he wore a white scarf across his neck. But what distinguished him the most however was that he had spiky pink hair and his guild mark was located just below his right shoulder. His name was Natsu Dragneel, and he was The Fire Dragon Slayer who has mastered Dragon Slayer magic.
The second person was a female with shoulder length blond hair. She like Erza had a large breast size as well. She wore a white and blue shirt, a blue skirt, and black boots. She wore a brown belt on her waist which held a pair of gold and silver keys along with a whip. Her guild mark was located just at the back of her right hand. Her name was Lucy Heartfilia, and she is a Celestial mage whose abilities allowed her to summon spirits with the gold and silver keys on her waist.
And the fourth companion was a male. There wasn't much to describe him, only for the fact he had no shirt on whatsoever, and that he was wearing a pair of green pants with a chain on his right pocket. He wore a brown belt with a silver buckle and he had a silver cross strung across his neck. And one of his prominent features was his dark black hair. His guild mark was located below his collarbone on his right pectoral muscle. His name is Gray Fullbuster, and he is an ice mage skilled in ice make magic which allowed him to create many objects out of ice.
These mages were extremely powerful and unique in their own ways. These four together formed a team known as Team Natsu. The four of them were powerful together, yet they always seemed to finish their jobs with quite the catastrophe. While they were considered the strongest team in Fairy Tail, they were quite the most destructive as well, mostly due to Erza, Natsu, and Gray. The four of them gathered and confronted a few of the members of Fairy Tail. They learned of Wendy's disappearance to go on a job by herself and this enraged the four members, mostly Erza, when they realized she must have gone quite a ways distance to follow her. Erza was interrogating a few members who knew of Wendy's disappearance.
"WELL, ARE YOU INEPT OF TALKING? ANSWER ME!", shouted Erza, who suddenly left the few members quite scared knowing the limits of her patience.
One of the guild members said, "Hey, calm down. Listen, we just saw her go all by herself. I mean, we thought she was just going for a walk, but we didn't know about her on a job. I swear to you I'm telling the truth."
"I AM I NO MOOD FOR EXCUSES, IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHERE SHE WENT, I WILL MAKE YOU PAY THE PRICE!", said Erza with a menacing and threatening tone.
Gray just shrugged and sighed at what Erza was doing. He then told her, "Hey Erza, just calm down will ya? Shouting at them isn't going to do a thing. We might as well…"
"MIGHT AS WELL DO WHAT? SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR WHAT COULD BE HER DEAD CORPSE? MAY I NEED TO REMIND YOU WHO'S LIFE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE DO I? WELL….DO I?", shouted Erza who interrupted Gray while still being furious at Wendy having to go a job alone alone.
Gray was terrified at her current tone and said to her while waving his hands, "Hey, just calm done will you. I mean, don't you think being angry isn't going to solve anything?"
Erza's angry expression seemed to grow and grow until finally she decided to calm down after listening to what Gray had to say.
"Your right, getting angry won't solve a thing. Still, I can't help but feel worried for her, she's still new at this and you think she would've consulted with us first."
"I know how you feel and your right about that one thing where she should've said something to us. I mean, it just doesn't make sense.", said Gray.
Natsu decided to cut in and said, "Well, I don't understand why she could've just taken me at least? I mean, c'mon we're both Dragon Slayers right? Besides…". Natsu then was starting to jump around like a whiny child a said, "I WANT A PIECE OF THE ACTION TOO! WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO HOG IT ALL? THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! I'M THE STRONG AND RELIABLE ONE HERE!"
Gray simply said to him, "Heh, well maybe she saw how fried your brain was and it caused her to leave on her own."
"YOU TELLING ME SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF ME YOU FREAKING ICE STRIPPER?!"
"YEAH SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU FLAME BREATH! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING ICE STRIPPER?"
"YOU BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! IN FACT, I THINK SHE LEFT ON HER OWN BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANNA SEE SOMEONE AS GAY AS YOU STRIP!"
'THAT'S IT YOU WANNA GO FLAME FACE?"
"BRING IT ON! I'M GONNA MELT YOU LIKE THE POPSICLE YOU REALLY ARE!"
However, the fight was put to a stop due to Erza having to beat up the both of them really hard while leaving them both on the floo r unconscious.
As for Lucy she couldn't help but wonder why Wendy went off by herself. She knew Wendy too well to know that she would never go perform a job by herself, except with Carla by her side. Then, an idea struck her in the head.
"Could Wendy have gone by herself because of Carla? I mean, I know that cat had always been anti-social with everybody, so it must make sense. But still, even though see's the same as Natsu, I'm still worried about what will happen to her if she's not careful.", her thoughts were than interrupted by someone else.
Beside Lucy was a blue cat that had pink ears and a white underbelly. The cat also had light blue marks on its cheeks and carried a green backpack. Its tail was quite long and it had a white tip to it. The cat's eyes were quite big as well. The cats name was Happy, and he was Natsu's best friend. He was not like ordinary cats because, like Carla, he could walk and talk as well. He even had the same ability to fly like Carla as well.
Happy was near Lucy with a sad expression and had decided to ask her a certain question.
"Lucy…will Carla comeback? I'm just worried since she and Wendy left to do a job on their own."
Lucy didn't what to say, but she said to the blue cat with reassurance, "Don't worry Happy, they'll come back alive. They are a part of Fairy Tail after all."
"Still, who know what's happening with them right now."
Meanwhile, on the road to Magnolia…
After Guan Suo had found a blue haired girl, known as Wendy, lying on the ground helplessly with her feline companion, he immediately rushed to their aid. He leaned of their hunger and decided to give them some food to help them regain their strength. Right now he was watching the young girl and her companion stuffing their faces with rice ball and meat buns. After a while, they were full and the young girl decided to thank the young man for helping.
"That was so good. Thank you for helping us out so much Mister. I really thought we were done for back there.", said the young girl with a thankful expression while bowing her head.
"Please, you have no need to thank me. I only did what I knew would be right of me.", said Guan Suo
"Still, I really must thank you. You're so kind and were willing to help me and Carla out in the middle of the road. I don't know how we'll ever repay you."
"Come now, just knowing you're alright is satisfactory for me. Now please raise your head."
"Okay", replied the young girl.
And as soon as she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the young man's face. He had quite a very handsome appearance to him, and was quite muscular for someone his age. And one more thing she notices was the flower on his head; she admitted it made him quite handsome. She looked at him a long time and couldn't help but stare at his appearance.
"Wow, he really is handsome", thought Wendy.
However, her train of thought was broken as Guan Suo suddenly said to her, "Excuse me, but is there something wrong."
Wendy was caught off guard by this and said to him, "I'm sorry, it's just that you have a really pretty face and…"
"You mean you enjoy looking at my face?", asked a dumbfounded Guan Suo.
"Nonono….it's not because of that! It's just that you have a really handsome face and…well…I…um…"
"So your telling me you like looking at my face?"
"Yes. I mean no! I'm just saying you have a really pretty face and that you really handsome and…"
She paused for a while until she realized what she said.
"Ahhhh, I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was thinking when I said those. Please forgive me!", said Wendy, who hid her head in shame.
Guan Suo said to her, "Please young one, it's okay, you have nothing to apologize for."
"Seriously, I thought you would get over this by now.", said the voice of a young woman.
Guan Suo was caught off guard by this and looked over the surrounding area. He was confused because out of nowhere he swore he could have heard the voice of a young woman somewhere near him. Then the voice called out to him as if to take pity.
"Over here."
Guan Suo followed the voice and it leads him to the cat sitting near the young girl. This just led him to be even more confused. He couldn't help but stare, though the cat looked like it was unamused by Guan Suo's antics.
"Excuse me, my mind must be crazy but I could have sworn the voice came from crazy. And why am I talking to a cat?", said the dumbfounded Guan Suo.
"Well I can certainly say you are crazy. You make it look as if you've never seen a talking cat before.", said the cat.
Guan Suo could only stare for a few seconds until he was taken back at the cat's remark. The son of Guan Yu was suddenly shaken and could only look and scream in shock.
"A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a cat just talked to me. Surely the heavens are playing tricks on me."
"I can assure it's not a trick. I swear your making a fool out of yourself.", said the cat while folding her arms.
"You don't have to be mean to him like that Carla.", said the young girl.
"Carla?", asked Guan Suo.
"Yeah, it's her name. Oh right, I forgot to introduce ourselves. This is my friend Carla and I'm Wendy. It's nice to meet you.", said the young girl.
Guan Suo regained his composure and said to Wendy, "Well, it's very nice to meet you young Wendy and lady Carla. My name is Guan Suo, son of Guan Yu."
"Guan Suo? That sounds like a very unusual name. But anyway, it's really nice to meet you."
"Please young one , the honor is all mine.", said Guan Suo.
"I must say, your quite eloquent.", said Carla.
"Thank you for the complement, but now I must ask something that has been in my mind since we first met."
The two traveling companions were surprised at what Guan Suo had said, but decided to comply nonetheless.
"What is it?", asked Carla.
"I want to know what it is you both are doing out here all by yourselves. You both shouldn't have been the only ones traveling. And even if that was the case, you traveled with no supplies whatsoever. So tell me, what did you come all the way out for?", asked Guan Suo.
"Oh that…well, the thing is we're on a job."
"A job?"
"Yes, a job.", said Carla. "We came all the way out here because we heard of a village that was being under attack by some bandits. We come from one of the magic guilds to perform the request. As for us being out by ourselves, that was a miscalculation on my part.", said Carla with a depressed look on her face.
Guan Suo was taken aback by this and thought to himself, "She's from one of those magic guilds I heard about. And a village under attack, could she be talking about…"
"Excuse me, you said you traveled out here about a village attack?", asked Guan Suo.
"Yep, I even had the flier right here if you want to look at it.", said Wendy who handed him a flier.
Guan Suo looked at the flier very carefully. It was in a language he couldn't understand, but for some reason he could make it out. He read that the flier described an attack on the village and that they were in desperate need of help. Guan Suo couldn't believe it. The two of them came all the way out here to help the village he had already saved. If those two came from a guild, they must be quite powerful, since Guan Suo had always learned never to underestimate warriors despite their apperances, such as Da Ji's assistant Himiko.
"I see… so you both came to help the village I already helped out."
"Yeah, I saw the flier and when I saw it talk about the bandits I- wait a minute, what do you mean you already helped out the village?"
Guan Suo could only smile as he said to her, "I just said you both came to help out the village I already helped out."
"Wait, so then the village…"
"It's alright, the village and it's people are safe. And as for the bandits, I can assure you they will never cause trouble ever again."
Wendy was in shock when she heard him say those words. She had taken the job because there were helpless people who asked for help. However, due to her fainting, she felt that she had failed the job. But after hearing Guan Suo's words, she began to draw tears.
"Wendy, why are you…"
"Thank you. Thank you so much.", said Wendy as she cried in tears.
"Wendy, why are you crying?", asked Guan Suo.
Wendy tried wiping her tears and answered to Guan Suo, "I'm sorry, it's just that when I was fainting, I felt I let the villagers down because I was weak. I thought they were done for, but knowing you saved them made me feel relieved. But now I feel so weak because I couldn't make it in time and…and…", she tried to say more, but her weakness made her feel unadapt and caused her to keep wallowing in tears.
However, Guan Suo decided to comfort Wendy. He gave her a hug and a reassuring smile. She continued to weep because of her weakness, but Guan Suo said to her, "I'm sure you did as much as you could. And you shouldn't curse yourself. I'm sure…no…I know that you are stronger than this. If that was the case, then you would've have given up and gone home. You didn't, and that is where the proof of your strength lies."
"Guan Suo…thank you.", said Wendy.
"As I've said before, you have nothing to thank me for.", said Guan Suo.
The two broke off the hug with Wendy regaining her composure. Finally Carla decided to intervene.
"Well, now that that's settled there's only one question. How will we make it back to Magnolia?"
"Oh…I really didn't think about that either.", said Wendy.
"Wait, am I correct in hearing you both hail from Magnolia?", asked Guan Suo.
Wendy nodded her head in confirmation and said, "Yep, we both come from Magnolia. It's just south of here from this rode we've taken. But it will take a long way to get there. Maybe weeks on foot."
"What a coincidence, I was just about to head there myself. I have a steed that can get us there in no time. Would you young ladies be willing to accompany me?", asked Guan Suo.
Wendy's spirits were lightened and said to him, "Of course, we would love to, right Carla?"
"Very well, though it's not because I trust you, but only because you called me a lady.", said Carla.
"Than in that case…"
Guan Suo whistled and immediately the white steed he was given to the villagers came immediately. It waited for Guan Suo as he started to prepare the horse for travel.
"Allow me to safely escort you back home", said Guan Suo.
"Thank you so much Mister Guan Suo.", said Wendy.
"It's alright; I am always willing to help those in dire need. And please just call me Guan Suo."
"Okay Guan Suo."
Guan Suo immediately helped young Wendy and Carla launch themselves up on the steed. Guan Suo was making sure the final preparations were set. And as soon as he was ready, Guan Suo climbed on the horse and started to head out.
"Hang on tight to me Wendy; you don't want to fall off."
"Okay."
"You will have to tell me how you dealt with the bandits on our way.", said Carla.
"I would be honored. Now ride, HIYAAA!", shouted Guan Suo.
The horse immediately rode off in haste. And it seems that Wendy and Carla would make it back home quite soon.
