Sorry for not posting for a bit I had to focus on finals and getting a summer job, then I had a bit of writer's block. I will hopefully be able to have a better posting schedule over the summer, but it will depend some on my schedule that I will have this summer.
July 1, 777 Lucy Guild Hall
'Welcome to Fairy Tail, Lucy.' Natsu said as he opened the door for her.
Looking around Lucy took the guild in. 'Wow, so this is Fairy Tail.' Lucy said, looking at everyone drinking and laughing in the guild.
'Yep, lets get you over to the master to get your guild mark.' Natsu said a bit down. Leading Lucy over to to the bar he stopped in front of an old man that was sitting on top of the bar table drinking a pint of beer, 'this is the guild master, Makarov. Gramps, Lucy here wants to join the guild. Do you know when they are getting back?'
'Sure, where do you want the guild mark and in what color? As for your other team members I'm not sure when they are going to be back,' Makarov said.
'Fine. I'm going to see if I cannot find Macao, it sounds like Romeo is looking for him since he hasn't come back from his job on Mt. Hakobe. Lucy, since I'm guessing that you do not have a place to stay here you should talk to Ur about staying in Fairy Hills. UR, Lucy here needs a place to stay. Fairy Hills still has a room open right?' Natsu shouted over to a dark haired mage.
'Yes there are a few rooms open,' said a woman in her 40's with dark purple hair, and black eyes, she was wearing black pants with a blue tank top that left her midriff bear, she also had on a tan leather jacket that she left open. 'Come on, Lucy was it, I'll take you over to Fairy Hills and get you a room. I'll also go over some of the workings of the guild since Master here likes to deal more with the paper work and drink. He thinks that if it other guild members explain the ropes to the newer ones that stronger bonds will be formed.'
'I don't like the paper work that I keep getting from the council about all the things that are destroyed when you are completing your jobs, I just have to deal with it because I'm the master,' the master responded handing Natsu a letter, 'oh and Natsu once the rest of team Demons Dragon Blade gets back this is a mission from the council that they want your team to go on and since they don't like information about quests getting out it can only be open by your team, my guess is that it is another job request that is at least an S-class quest.'
'Okay, hopefully they get back later to today and we can look at the quest and figure out what we need to do about it. Did Ultear, add any info about what is going on?' Natsu asked knowing that Ultear was on the council and helped Fairy Tail out with the dealings within the council and sometimes gave them extra details that the council wouldn't give them.
'No she didn't, just that it should be taken care of quickly,' Makarov told him as Natsu nodded showing that he had hear before he said 'Okay, I'm going to head out for Macao now I should be back in a few hours since I'm planning to run there,' was he headed for the door.
'That boy, he tries to do everything to protect everyone and help everyone, for some reason I get the feeling that it is going to cause problems one day,' Makarov said as he watched Natsu head out of the guild with Isamu at his side.
Ur interjected saying 'you know that he doesn't want others to go through something that he has when he can do something about it, besides with how strong he his I doubt that there is much that could put him in any real danger, and with his mates around him there is nothing in the world that can beat them. Come on Lucy lets head over to Fairy Hills and get you a room.'
Lucy and Ur headed out of the guild and started heading over to Fairy Hills.
'Let's start off with your room at Fairy Hills, rent is 100,000 jewel a month, and that gets you a room with has a bedroom, kitchen area, living room and private bathroom, there is also an open bath for everyone, then is also an open kitchen and dinning room that you can use and we have hall dinners every Friday to talk and forge bonds with the other girls in the dorm,' Ur said.
'Wow, it sounds like a really nice place but I don't have that much money with me. I only have 20,000 jewels right now,' Lucy responded after hearing the price of rent at her new place.
'That's fine, since this is only for the girls of Fairy Tail, and I own the place I let newbies skip the first month of rent to get used to guild life and start taking jobs to pay for rent,' Ur said knowing that most people don't just come in having enough money to pay the rent of Fairy Hills, as the dorm came into sight.
'Lets go over some of the things that you need to know about how the guild works. First let's talk about quests, since that will be how you get money and effect your life the most. As a new member you will have to take a few quests with a member of the guild that have been here for a few years so that you don't get thrown into something over your head, and to figure out what rank you should get so that you know what types of jobs you should take. You should try to get and S-class mage to do it since they will be the best judge of your skills,' Ur told her.
'What do you mean by rank?' Lucy cut in.
'In the guild everyone is classified into a class or rank of skill most members fall into between A-class and D-class mages with A-class being the highest and D-class the lowest. Quests are also ranked by the same scale based on the danger and complexity of the mission, knowing your rank as a mage gives you the best idea of what quests to take. Before you go on a mission you have to get it signed off by either the master or an S-class mage to make sure that you are taking a request that you can do, and will not get into something that's over your head. Because you have to the quest signed off by someone it also means that on occasion you can take a job that would be ranked higher then your rank as a mage because the quest is something that is well suited for you, giving you a way to get better and become a higher ranked mage,' Ur said looking over to Lucy to see if she was still following with what Ur was explaining to her.
'Okay that makes some since but what is the S-class that you and Natsu have mentioned?' Lucy asked.
'S-class is the highest rank of mage, they can take any mission that they want, S-class missions had the hardest and can not be taken by any one but an S-class mage,' Ur told Lucy.
'How many S-class mages are in the guild? How do you become an S-class mage?' Lucy asked.
'Well let's see master is, I am, Natsu, Erza, Mira, Kagura, Gray, Cana, Gildarts, Laxus and Mystogan are all S-class there are a couple of others close to becoming S-class but they haven't passed the S-class trails which you can take when the current S-class mages and master agree that you have the skills and magic capabilities to become S-class,' Ur said before continuing 'its not always something that you really what to do because it's a lot to take on and you have to do extra around the guild.'
'Wow, that's a lot of people who are S-class. Are there any other rules that I need to know about the guild?' Lucy asked as they entered Fairy Hills.
'Not really, the second floor is for S-class mages only since it has the S-class requests and offices for the S-class mages and an area that they can relax at after the missions that they take. Every few months we do a guild training day that helps improve your magic and fighting skills, the S-classes watch to see if you should move to a higher rank and might be ready to head to the S-class trails,' Ur told her as they walked into an open room.
'Okay, when is the next training day. Is this the room that I'm going to be renting?' Lucy asked.
'Next training day is in a few months since we had one a few weeks ago. Yep, this is your room if you want to live here,' Ur said.
'Wow this room is really nice, I would like to live here, this seems like a really nice place,' Lucy said.
'Done, pay me rent at the end of the month starting next month. Let's head back to the guild so that you can meet people and figure a job that you want to go on. Then you can meet some people to take you on a mission to figure out what rank you should start off at. By the way what type of magic do to use?' Ur asked has she left the room headed back towards the guild.
'I'm a celestial spirit mage, I use gate keys to summon celestial spirits from the spirit world to help me fight,' Lucy answered.
'Huh, Levy went on a request a few days ago and came back with a celestial key but since no one in the guild is a celestial mage its stayed at the guild till someone joined that used that type of magic. When we get back to the guild hall I'll grab it for you.' Ur said has they left the dorm.
July 1, 777 Natsu Outside the Guild Hall
'Come on, Isamu, lets run to Mt. Hakobe I want to run there,' Natsu said after they left the guild after helping Lucy get settled in some knowing that Ur would cover everything that Lucy would need to know about guild life, and the rules of the guild even if there were only a few of them.
'Trying to take your mind off the fact the you still aren't with your mates and aren't really sure when they will be home since they don't know how many monsters that are in the area that they were asked to clear?' Isamu asked Natsu.
'Yeah, although knowing them they are most likely clearing the area of everything around the monsters to find them faster and defeat them,' Natsu said laughing some at the end thinking about the way that his mates could overboard it get what they wanted done.
About an hour later they had reached the bottom of Mt. Hakobe and took the path that Macao would most likely have taken to clear out the Vulcans in the area that had been causing problems. After following the path for a while Natsu slowed down to a walk saying 'Hey Isamu, do you smell that, I think its Macao but its too faint to be positive.'
'Yeah, I can also smell a Vulcan from how faint it was probably here about the same time that Macao was. Think that he got taken over?' Isamu asked.
'Most likely he thought that he had taken care of all the Vulcans in the area and was heading home when a Vulcan came up behind him catching him off guard,' Natsu responded.
'The Vulcan has probably headed back to its cave by now, we can follow his trail back to him and knock out the Vulcan, getting Macao back,' Isamu replied.
Picking up their pace some they followed the scent trail that the Vulcan had left while it headed back to his cave. After jogging for a while they found the entrance of the Vulcan's cave and headed in. Looking around for a bit they found the Vulcan that smelled like Macao and Natsu punched it, throwing it back into the wall and knocking it out.
The Vulcan slide down the wall while it started to glow relieving Macao out cold with a few injuries that he had probably gotten while he was taking care of the Vulcans from his mission.
Natsu walked over to the unconscious Macao and looked him over making sure that he didn't have any fatal wounds that needed treatment, he then called over to Isamu.
'It doesn't look like any of the injuries are to bad but you want to help him out any way?'
'Sure, no point in leaving him injured when I can heal him,' Isamu responded.
'Yep, once you're done let's teleport him directly back to the guild if he's still out, if he has woken up then we can help him walk back,' Natsu said, knowing that despite how good at healing Isamu was that aches and pains sometimes lingered after a person was fully healed.
Isamu finished healing Macao and they got ready to teleport when Macao regained consciousness, however, since he was still a bit out of it Natsu supported him while grabbing onto Isamu.
Realizing that Isamu wasn't teleporting back to the guild like he thought that he would Natsu asked 'What's up, Isamu?'
'I just got word from the others they finished the mission and are teleporting to Magnolia once they talk to the women who sent the request in,' Isamu replied.
Forgetting that Natsu was still supporting Macao some he starting doing a little happy dance that his mates would be back soon. After a few seconds though Macao groaned a bit being moved about to much. Hearing this Natsu stopped his little happy dance and grabbed hold of Isamu again saying 'Lets go, lets go, lets go' anxious to get back to the guild to reunite with his mates.
They teleported to the outskirts of town and headed back towards the guild hall as they were walking back they ran into Romeo. After a touching moment between the two, Macao and Romeo left towards their house so that Macao could rest.
Natsu walked back into the guild as Ur was giving Lucy the celestial key that had been at the guild since Levy got it on her latest mission. Natsu headed to the bar and sat down asking for a meal for him and Isamu while he waited for Erza, Mira and Kagura to get back from the quest, when Gray came in missing his shirt.
As he was getting his meal Lucy walked over to him and asked, 'Hey, Natsu do you think you could take me on my first quest, Ur would be she was headed to meet her daughter and wouldn't be able to.'
'Sorry, Lucy but I am waiting for my mates before we head off on the quest that the council sent for our team, and knowing what the council normally sends us on it wouldn't be a great idea for you to come with us for your first mission. Gray, could probably take you since he just got back from his own mission. He's the guy over there in the middle of losing his pants. GRAY, quit stripping and come over here.'
Grumbling about stripping again without knowing it, Gray walked over, 'What do you want, Natsu?'
'Lucy here is a new member and needs to go on her first quest could you take her, the rest of my team is coming back and we have a council mission that we have to take,' Natsu explained to Gray.
'And since the council only sends named requests for harder and more dangerous missions, you don't think that it is a good idea to take her on the mission, so you need some one else to take her on a mission to figure out what rank she should be given. Sure why not, I haven't done one in a while and I probably should. Come on Lucy lets go pick up a job, since you came in earlier with Ur I'm guessing that she told you most of what you need to know about the guild. Over here is the mission…' Gray's voice faded out as he and Lucy walked over to the mission board.
Natsu was finishing his meal as he felt his mate mark warm up telling him that his mates had just teleported to the outskirts of town.
Turning around on his stool at the bar he watched the guild doors and took note of what the rest of the guild was doing, and watching as Loki come running through the doors yelling, 'Their back! The rest of team Demons Dragon Blade is back.'
The guild froze up for a second thinking about what it meant that they were back, they then looked over to Natsu about ready to plead for Natsu to protect them from his mates. Looking at them he just laughed a bit shaking his saying, 'If you don't want them mad at you for doing something dumb, then you shouldn't do it and look at me to protect you guys, cause its not happening.'
After another minute of waiting Erza, Mira, and Kagura walked in through the guild doors with Atsuko, Kazuki, and Kiku on their heels.
'Yo, master we're back and we're going to go home and rest for bit' Mira called out to the master after they had come into the main area of the guild.
'Alright, Natsu has a quest for your team from the council that you should probably start tomorrow,' Makarov told them has they were starting to leave as Natsu was walking towards them.
'Okay, we'll look at the request once we get back to our house. Oh, and since the guild is a bit of a mess right now everyone will be cleaning up the guild tonight, and if you try to get out of it you'll be cleaning the entire guild on your own for a month,' Erza commented as the team made their way out of the guild that was now filled with light groans of guild members that were now going to be cleaning the guild.
Kagura looked over to Natsu and asked 'Did you open the mission from the council yet or are we going to take a look at it once we get home?'
'I looked over the facts a bit there isn't a lot to go on basically a seal that the council placed on something has been broken, and they want us to find who broke the seal and why and make sure that what got taken isn't going to cause any problems. Since the council hates giving any helpful information out on quests and are just pains in the ass most of the time, all we really have to go on is that the seal was broken near Onibus and might have been by a dark guild. We can look into more tomorrow before we head out on the mission, right now all I want to do is spend some time with you three,' Natsu said.
Ur does some of the work that Mira need in cannon like signing out missions, helping with the books and other general stuff like that.
Natsu and Gray are still rivals some what even though Natsu is a lot stronger, and has help Gray train. Act closer to siblings who help each other out but also pick on each other some.
Named requests are requests that ask for someone to do the mission.
Part of being an S-class mage means that you help new members get used to jobs and rank them. Also sign out missions if Makarov or Ur are not there.
