We wandered around Sycamore trying to find our client's mansion with no luck. No building was left standing. "I hope Sir Lates is alright..." Lilias muttered.
"I don't," Lokni answered.
"I wanted to burn his face off..." I admitted. Everyone stared at me with a look in their eyes that spoke why Faya? There was nothing wrong about hating that awful man! Soon, Lokni ran forward and beckoned for us all to follow. In his hand was a small golden statue. I was pretty sure I'd seen it outside our client's 'house'. A few meters away was a group of servant surrounding a man crumpled upon the ground head in hands: our client. We approached him and Xavier began to speak. "We've finished the job!" Our client turned around, I could see faint tears in his eyes. "So?" He muttered, "Why does my life have to be like this! First my beautiful wife dies, then my son runs away and now this!? How do you expect me to EVER SMILE AGAIN!"
"Lord Axel Lates..." A servant spoke gently. They were obviously concerned about their master.
"IT'S THE CHILDREN'S FAULT!" Our client yelled. What did we ever do? Oh yeah... We destroyed his city and his three towns. He deserved it, but the citizens didn't.
"Does this mean we won't be getting a reward?" Lokni asked.
"HOW COULD I REWARD YOU BARBARIANS AFTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE! IF ANYTHING, YOU SHOULD BE REWARDING ME!"
Lokni sighed. "Can I at least keep the statue?" he asked.
"NO! I NEED TO REPAIR DAMAGES!"
Lokni scowled. "We're getting a reward." He said
"NO YOU'RE NOT!"
Miriza stepped forward. "We'll accept the reward," she spoke calmly,"We'll donate the money back to you so you can repair damages." Lokni stared at Miriza wide eyed before looking away. With that we left our client and his servants to go and find our magic vehicle to go back to the guild. Did we intend on giving it back? Who knows!
After about a day or so we arrived back in Magnolia. We'd all taken it in turns driving so we were all starting to feel drained from the SE plug. We didn't bother going to the guild, instead we traveled to our homes. I had a room in Fairy Hills all to myself. Miriza and Lilias had room situated near mine. I slept soundly that night. Which was a good thing, since I was going to need all the rest get for the day I had in store for me tomorrow... I woke up to see a light shower of rain pouring outside my window. It would probably clear in a few hours. I got dressed into a black dress that fell just above my knees. I didn't bother putting any shoes on. I hated the way the felt for some reason. I met up with Lilias, Cana, Miriza and Erza as we all walked towards the guild hall together. We found Xavier and Lokni with Gray outside. "Why are you waiting outside?" Lilias asked the boys.
"I thought we should all go unto the guild hall as a team," Xavier replied. With that we all walked into through the large door and into our guildhall, only to see a small man staring angrily at the 5 of us holding a stack of papers. Be began to speak: "350,000,000 jewel worth of property damage! Over 400 apology letters! What did you kids think you were doing! You destroyed three whole towns along with one of the largest cities in Fiore!" We suddenly all fount the guildhall floor extremely interesting. Makarov began to speak once more. "Furthermore, I got in touch with the client, and he said that he'd NEVER hire a Fairy Tail wizard again! I heard that some citizens were injured during your job! Therefore, I shall not allow your team to take on any jobs for the next 7 years!"
"But master!" I heard Lilias protest, "This was our first job! I promise that we can all get much stronger and learn to control our magic!" Makarov sighed.
"I'm not changing my mind." Makarov spoke firmly, "On another note, I'd like you to meet our newest member of the guild!"
We followed Makarov over to where a spiky pink haired boy I'd never seen before was talking to Macao and Wakaba. He looked as if he were around our age. As soon as he saw us approaching he gave us all a fanged grin. "Hi guys!" he said energetically, "I'm Natsu Dragneel!" Dragneel? wasn't that my real second name which Mavis, I mean my mother, had told me never to mention? "What sort of magic do you use Natsu?" Miriza asked him.
"I'm a fire dragon slayer!" As soon as Natsu has spoken those words, I had no doubt that we were related in some way...
