AN: I do not own Fairytail
Since this chapter turned out short I decided to post it early.
Upon their arrival at the guild, Erza came charging towards Natsu and Gray while yelling, "First, you go on a mission without me to a village that is holding a cake convention and then you level an ancient city that was dubbed a historical landmark." Natsu and Gray cowered as Erza requiped into her Purgatory Armor, "What do you have to say for yourselves?"
"We didn't do it." Natsu cried out hugging Gray.
Gray called out, "It was Lucy and Ashley." As he hugged Natsu back.
"Don't blame others. Take your punishment like a real man." Someone called out.
Everyone in the guild was watching, Cana taking bets on how long they would stay conscious this time.
"We bought you cake." Gray and Natsu screamed out, at the same time, in a last ditch effort to avoid Erza's wrath.
"Well why didn't you say so." Erza said, in a pleasant voice, requiping into her everyday armor, as Lucy hurried over and handed her the three cake boxes.
Erza took the boxes and sat at a table, pulling a fork out of nowhere and started eating, humming happily. The guild went back to their own business, disappointed there was no bloodshed. Natsu and Gray raced off to hide away from Erza. Happy flew over to Carla and Wendy, to tell them all about the mission and how he saved everyone.
Ashley and Lucy walked over to the bar, ordering a chocolate milkshake and a strawberry smoothie.
Mira, having noticed Ashley's and Lucy's ashamed looks when Erza was yelling at Natsu and Gray, asked "Ok girls. What really happened?" as she placed their drinks in front of them.
Lucy explained, with Ashley chiming in every now and then, what happened. By the end of the story, the whole guild had been listening in. Ashley then explained her magic when Cana asked how it had worked with Lucy's to create so much destruction.
"Wow, she must be really strong." Someone in the guild said.
Hearing this, Natsu charged over to Ashley.
"Fight Me!" He shouted, as he through a punch at her.
Ashley dodged it and hit Natsu on a pressure point on the back of his neck, making him pass out.
"You have to teach me that." Lucy said.
Freed then came over and said, "I have been researching your magic and would like to discuss it with you.
Ashley takes a seat at and empty table with Freed. Erza joined them, stating she was interested too.
- Time skip -
Just after discussing the magic blocking barrier Ashley can put in people to stop them from using their magic and its limitations, Gildarts arrived.
He went straight up to Cana, at the bar, saying "Did you miss Daddy?
"Why would I? I saw you two days ago." Cana shouted.
This prompted Erza to ask the question, "Would your magic blocking barrier work on someone as magically strong as Gildarts?"
"Only one way to find out." Ashley stated.
They all went over to Gildarts and Freed and Ashley explained what they wanted to test out. Gildarts agreed, becoming rather curious about it himself.
Ashely placed her hand on his arm and looked him directly in the eye, as soon as she activated her magic she collapsed to the ground and passed out.
"That wasn't very effective." Cana stated.
"I didn't feel a thing." Gildarts looks down at Ashley.
Wendy raced over to Ashley and activated her magic.
"She is not hurt, just depleted her magic." The Sky Dragon slayer said as she got up and walked back over to Carla.
Just then Natsu regained consciousness and jumped up, looking around he saw Ashley lying on the floor.
"I WON!" He yelled.
Gray called out, "You idiot."
This lead to a guild wide brawl. Nobody noticed when a mage picked up Ashley and carried her carefully to the guild infirmary.
Ashley woke up just as she was being placed on a bed by a set of strong arms.
"Where am I?" she asked, not opening her eyes as they felt to heavy.
"In the infirmary. Figured you wouldn't want to get squashed in the chaos down stairs." The person with the strong arms replied. "Get some rest."
"OK" Ashley said groggily, as she passed out again.
AN: Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think.
