Okay so I have news for everyone who has read the first story in this series, ACe of Academy City. I had told all of you that I had changed Mikotos age from 14 to 16 in the first story. Well i decided to change that again for a couple o reasons. I changed her age to 15 from the beginning of the first story till the beginning of the third story, in which she is going to have just turned 16. Also Toumas age will remain at 16 years old till around the end of the third story in the trilogy. Why did I make these changes so suddenly, I realized that the ages I put them at was just too high for the things I wanted to happen in the later parts of the story. Yes the ages would be better for when I had the characters partake in more adult activities, but then again the actual anime never seem to follow those rules either so why should I. I want Mikoto to be beginning her first year of highschool at the end of the trilogy, so for that to be possible she needs to be no older than 16, so thats why i made the change. One year should really affect any of you, but please tell me your opinions on this. So on other terms, here is chapter 3. Its not a fight based on anything much, but it leads into the first arc in the story, one that all of you should enjoy. So as always please enjoy this chapter and leave a review!

The next morning was Toumas and Mikotos first day as members of Fairy tail. Today Mikoto had decided to go against wearing her battle outfit, as she wasnt planning on getting into to many fights, though she kept her HF Blade on her. Touma also had his shield with him. Currently they were sitting together in the guild hall, watching as members of the guild file in for the morning.

"So how was your first night as a Fairy Tail wizard? Natsu asks having walked over to them. Erza, Gray, Juvia, Happy, and Lucy also walked over to sit with them.

"It felt good, though we havent done anything for the guild just yet." Mikoto replies.

"So to fix that would you like to do some jobs with the rest of us? There is one job in particular that we all have our eyes on," Gray states. This causes Mikoto and Touma to look at each other, genuine excitement in their eyes.

"Okay go on, were interested," Touma states.

"The job is a simple one, but requires alot of us as well as its going to take a while. There is a forest outside of Magnolia, and it is currently being overrun by many monsters, estimates reaching well over 100. The pay for this job is more than enough to satisfy all of our needs and then some. This forest is one of passageways into the town, so its vital that it is safe for people to use." Erza explains. It doesnt take any more convincing for Mikoto and Touma to join their party, and they set out. Not too much later they all arrive in the forest, and it seemed deserted.

"Wow its empty, could all those reports be false?" Lucy wonders out loud.

"Natsu, can you smell any monsters?" Erza asks the dragon slayer.

"Its strange but there are so many scents around her that I can distinguish between them." Natus responds. This obviously worries Erza, but the group presses deeper into the forest anyways.

"Watch out! Natsu yells out soundly, having smelled a scent. At that moment a monster leaps out at them, right at Mikoto. But it was then immediately incapacitated by Mikoto with a quick hard kick to the face. As more and more monsters begin to reveal themselves Mikoto draws her HF Blade and asks, "So is it okay if we kill these things?"

"Yes, thats what we came here to do anyways," was Erza's response as she requips into her heavens wheel armour. The fight begins and a few things become apparent rather quickly. First was that in skill none of the monsters could hold their own against the fairy tail wizards. The second thing was that the monsters were succeeding in separating the wizards one big party into many smaller ones. Also the reports of over 100 monsters were not false at all. It was at this moment that Mikoto wished she had worn her fighting uniform that day. The fight goes on for a long time, but eventually the wizards begin to gain an advantage. They managed to kill enough monsters that they managed to form back up into one group again, but had wasted alot of energy doing so, and now they were surrounded.

Thats when Mikoto comes up with an idea. It was a very insane one, but it might work.

"Natsu, Juvia, Touma, I need your help with a plan I have." Mikoto says, getting the attention of her guildmates.

"What are you thinking?" Lucy asks, noticing a look in Mikoto's eyes that was very similar to the looks Natsu gets.

"Touma And I will jump into the middle of the monsters. Natsu use your roar attack on me and Juvia use your water cannon on Touma. Our weapons should be able to deflect the attacks onto the monsters. The group goes with the plan and to Lucys shock, it worked. The attacks were deflected perfectly, and destroyed most of the monsters. The ones remaining were easy pickings for the wizards. Afterwards they collect their reward and are walking back when Mikoto notices a book store.

"Hold on, im going to go in there and get something." She states and before anyone can say a word against it, she is already inside. The others are forced to wait for her, though they dont have to wait long as she walks back out with a rather strange book. When she shows them all it, Lucy could not believe its title.

"The lost Magics?" Juvia asks, surprised by it.

"Yeah, should be an interesting read. I dont expect to be able to learn any of the magics in this book but I at least want to know about them." Mikoto explains. There wasnt any more questions for the walk back to the guild hall. Once back Mikoto couldnt help herself as she sits down to read the book. After a little while, she came across one kind of magic that really intrigued her. Lucy and Levy had been reading the book with her, and also noticed this.

"Summoning magic? What is that?" Levy asks.

"Is it like Celestial wizards?" Lucy asks.

"No, it looks like something completely different. It says that the wizard who learns this kind of magic is able to summon in any creature of their choosing." Mikoto states continuing to read into it.

"What kind of magic are you three talking about?" Makarov asks, having heard the commotion coming from them.

"We are reading this book on lost magics that Mikoto bought and it talks about some kind of Summoning magic." Levy states, looking at the master to see if he knows any more about the magic than the book does.

"Its been a very long time since I have heard about that magic," Makarov states, thinking back.

"Can you tell me about it?" Mikoto asks, a gleam in her eyes.

"Well to begin with I only heard about one person that used it, and he used to be one of the wizard saints before he later died of old age. He used that magic to be so strong that nobody dared fight him, even when he was close to death. From what I heard it is a very powerful magic but one that is very hard, if not impossible to learn. That man didnt learn it, he got the ability to use it by random chance. The story goes that he got into a fight, almost loss, and then out of desperation he summoned a creature that fought for him. Over time he kept getting stronger and stronger, eventually unlocking a so called Guardian summon," Makarov explains.

"Yes! The book has something on that too!"It says that the guardian spirit was unbeatable in a fight, as it kept getting stronger the more its summoner needed it. It says that his Guardian was a dragon!" Mikoto adds, excitement building.

"A Dragon? Like the ones that Natsu keeps talking about?" Lucy asks.

"I dont know, but it might very well be." Mikoto responds.

"Well I dont think it really matters. Its all well and good learning about the lost magics, but that doesnt mean you will be able to learn any of them. You might as well get started learning a magic any of us can teach you." Levy states, deciding to end the talk of lost magics.

"Who said I want to learn magic?" Mikoto asks. When the others look at her in shock she continues, "I came to Fairy tail to learn about what its like to be in a guild like Fairy tail, to explore the world with more than just one friend. To grow as a group, not just as an individual. If i happen to learn magic on the way, then its a plus. Im perfectly fine with my fighting skills as they are."

"Well then you came to the right place. Fairy Tail wizards have the strange ability to learn by their mistakes," Makarov says laughing.

"Yes, i Think I have come to the right place too." Mikoto replies, beginning to laugh as well.

Later that night the guild watches as Mikoto and Touma trained behind the guild hall. Mikoto was trying to get Touma better at fighting with a sword, though teaching Touma was like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. They were using wooden training swords, but even that was turning painful for Touma.

"Why did you have to hit that hard!?" Touma yells out, having received another hard hit from mikotos sword after failing to block her attack.

"Oh come on Touma, you know i dont hold , at this point i think only the pain will teach you to react faster," Mikoto states, shaking her head. But Touma surprises her, launching an attack of his own. His sword strike was easy enough to fight, but Touma doesnt fight like that. Mikoto didnt have time to react to the punch that sent her backwards. When she recovers, she was excited to see that he did not forget the lesson of pressing the advantage. He launch another strike at her while she was down, but Mikoto was faster still, and dodging, gaining a huge distance between herself and Touma. Then she does something unexpected, she drops her sword, causing Touma to stand there dumbfounded.

"Well then, now that it seems like you have made some progress, im going to give myself a challenge at the same time. You try to get me with that sword, and I will keep dodging till I can do so no longer," Mikoto states

"Okay then," Touma responds and launches his attacks. He doesn't get very far, as Mikoto was way faster than him, and kept dodging all of his attacks. But with every strike he would get closer and closer to landing a hit on her until on his final strike, Mikoto is forced to catch the sword to keep it from hitting her.

"I think that is enough for one night," Mikoto says, breathing heavily.

"Yeah, i think so too," Touma responds, also catching his breath. Mikoto turns and sees that most of the members of the guild had come out to watch her and Touma train, as she hadnt realized it before.

"Well it looks like we had an audience," Mikoto states, loud enough to be heard by her guild mates.

"That was amazing Mikoto. We have only ever see Erza do stuff like that, but the way you did it was different," Levy states in awe.

"I could have done better," Gajeel states, having also been watching.

"Either way I noticed a difference in your fighting style that I didnt noticed when I was fighting you," Erza states. This causes a slight confusion in Mikoto, not yet realizing what Erza meant.

"Really, what is it?" Mikoto asks, confused.

"Your not reacting at all during the fight. Your not using your eyesight to judge where the attack is going to go and when to block. Its like your sensing the attack coming. Like you have some weird ability to know where any object is that is around you, how fast it is moving and where it is heading, all from a sense." Erza states

Damn it, I forgot about that. Raiden taught me how to unconsciously use my power to feel a weapons incoming strike before it hits me. I must have been using that throughout the fight.

"I dont really know what you mean by that. I guess i have just fought with a sword long enough, and know Touma well enough to predict where he is going to strike," Mikoto states, trying to be as clueless as possible. It doesnt seem to fully convince Erza however, as she appeared to still be thinking, though she doesnt press it any longer. After that everyone goes their own ways, with Mikoto and Touma returning to the apartment they were living in.

"So tomorrow's the day correct?" Touma asks.

"Yes, tomorrow is the day that the journey to fight Oracion seis begins." Mikoto responds. As they both begin to fall asleep, Mikoto has one last thought.

Its alot harder to hide my power than I originally thought it would be. At least i wont have to hide it for much longer. Then again I do worry about what the consequence of disobeying Makarov and going with the others to fight Oracion seis will be? Either way it is going to be an interesting next couple of weeks.

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
