Chapter Two : New Identity
~July 7th, X777~
Outside the town of Magnolia
Natsu, Nero, Atlas, and Makarov Dreyar
"Fairy Tail? You want… us to join Fairy Tail? But that's new people and responsibilities." Atlas asked Makarov
"No worries… um I'm sorry please tell me your names. We were so into the introductions of guilds that I didn't ask for your names. But don't think of as too much responsibilities from the beginning, I will help you grow into powerful and mature men. Even other guild members will try to help you and you don't even have to get started today, just get adjusted to the guild and try to make relationships. After that take a few quests and make some money to get you up and going. Trust me guilds are a family and the relationships you make there are the ones you should cherish." Makarov went on a monologue but the 3 slayers felt warm on the inside.
The 3 Slayers didn't notice until now, but they looked different in terms of their bodies. They had gotten noticeably taller and looked older. Unbeknownst to them, travelling through the Eclipse Gate accelerated their age by a couple of years. Natsu and Nero had their senses heightened and their canine teeth are much sharper than normal. Their hair got noticeably longer as Nero's slicked back hair was a little longer with a few outstanding curls going over his face. Atlas' hair on the back extended only just a little and the spikes over his face extended slightly and became more defined. Natsu's hair became more prominent in spikiness and they extended past his eyes only slightly.
"I'm Natsu." Natsu said as Makarov eyed him up and down, noticing his attire.
Natsu wore the same white scarf that Igneel had presumably gifted him. He donned a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, often left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest. A gold trimmed black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt and white knee length pants with black ribbon ties. Natsu also wears a black wristband on his left wrist and black open toed sandals.
"So your the fire wizard eh." Makarov analyzed.
"I'm not just a regular fire wizard gramps! Ima Dragon Slayer!" Natsu made his point across towards Makarov and he understood the fiery attitude of Natsu Dragneel.
Makarov walked towards Nero next and eyed him the same way he did Natsu. Nero wore a dark blue cloak, similar to Mercuphobia's jacket, but it went over his right shoulder, with a silver trim along the edge of the cloak in the style of Mercuphobia's mark on his face. Nero had his right arm surrounded with tape from the bicep down and his left arm was free of any markings or obstructions. His bare chest was in view and Nero was a toned young teenager, and he wore black trousers that also bore Mercuphobia's eye mark on the left side that was silver in color and they went over small black pirate boots just as Mercuphobia, though not as large as his boots. He also had a small talisman with a blade memorabilia at the center around his wrist that acted as his katana if he wishes to use it.
"Let me guess, your a dragon slayer too? But a Water Dragon Slayer at that yes?" Makarov asked Nero.
"My name is Nero Lamenton and yep I'm a Water Dragon Slayer. But I know other forms of magic as well, and I'm pretty well trained in hand to hand fighting, swordsmanship, and acrobatics.
"Well that's a good combination of skills Nero. What other forms of magic do you know? Please tell me I am interested so I could see what missions would work to your ability." Makarov uttered towards Nero.
"I know Transformation Magic, Take-Over Magic, Dispel Magic, other forms of water magic, and obviously Water Dragon Slaying Magic." Nero replied and Makarov merely nodded his head in interest.
Makarov walked to the last of the 3 Slayers and was intrigued by Atlas the most. He did the same as with Nero and Natsu, eyeing Atlas up and down. Atlas wore a black sleeveless muscle shirt with a large earth symbol on the back. The muscle shirt was tucked into dark brown cargo pants that were rolled up to shin length, he also wore black sandals similar to Natsu's.
There was one feature about Atlas that made him stand out from Natsu and Nero. On his right hand were rock formations leading up to his upper wrist, just below the elbow. Makarov analyzed this and noticed the rock gradually increasing ever so slowly.
His arm, it goes from skin to rock with cracks along the surface. He is much more toned than Nero and Natsu, so he must use Earth magic since he is probably immensely strong. But what kind? Makarov thought to himself.
"I-I'm Atlas sir. I would be honored to join your guild, by the way, I am an Earth God Slayer. But I know other forms of magic as well, like Transformation Magic and some Illusion Magic. I'm also very experienced in combat and spearmanship, I can use any spear with ease and can create some with my earth magic." Atlas told the Fairy Tail guild master and Makarov was more interested in Atlas than Nero or Natsu.
"A God Slayer? Hmmmmmm, so you use divine magic. It's been a pleasure meeting you boys, I look forward to seeing how you progress as part of my family. Now then let's get to Magnolia and introduce you to your new guildmates." Makarov stated as he turned around and headed to the gates of the town, now known as Magnolia to the 3 Slayers and they followed behind.
~Magnolia~
The 3 Slayers have arrived at the Fairy Tail guild hall
Natsu, Nero, and Atlas are welcomed in with open arms
"I never expected a guild hall to be this huge… what the fuck?!" Nero muttered in astonishment.
"You got that right." Atlas and Natsu said in unison.
Before them was a humongous guild hall with the Fairy Tail banner in the center of the building, showcasing its glory to Magnolia. They entered the guild hall and everyone inside greeted Makarov.
"Master has returned!" two girls called out, one with scarlet red hair and another with long white hair tied into a ponytail. They both ran to him with open arms, but there seemed to be tension between them as they looked at each other with disgust.
The scarlet haired girl wore a custom made Heart Kreutz armor with a blue skirt attached to it and black boots. She had a patch over her right eye and looked very happy to see Makarov, but still had a serious demeanor to herself. The white haired maiden wore a dark crop top, revealing her stomach area and a pair of leather shorts held up by a studded belt and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels. Some would say she was gothic and very feared by most.
"Move! you red haired crybaby." The white haired girl muttered to the scarlet haired girl as she shoved her to the side.
"You wretch!" The Scarlet knight yelled in frustration.
"Erza, Mira, it's good to see you, as well as all of you. I would like to introduce 3 new members to the guild." As Makarov uttered these words, he stepped to the side to reveal Natsu, Nero, and Atlas.
"What's up everyone!" Natsu said with a very toothy smile
"This is all the members of Fairy Tail?! Cooooooooool." Nero uttered while clashing his fists together.
"Well I guess this is better than not having a family. I hope we can all be friends everyone!" Atlas thought aloud and said with a warm feeling in his heart.
"This is Natsu, Nero, and Atlas. And they are the newest members of our family, please welcome them with open arms and treat them how you would any other member of the guild.
"Who cares who these wimps are, I was waiting all day for you master and I had to deal with this bitch." The gothic looking girl exclaimed.
"MIRA! Language! Apologize to Erza immediately and welcome your new guild mates." Makarov pronounced.
The scarlet knight now known as Erza, had a devious smirk on her face. While the white haired girl, now known as Mira, didn't want to apologize. As the guild watched on laughing at Erza and Mira's fighting, there was a man with yellow hair and scar going over his right eye atop the second floor of the guild hall. He wore headphones for some odd reason and was listening to rock music.
"So gramps brought in new members, hmph. They won't last long, I got nothing to worry about." The yellow haired man said as he walked away to a flight of stairs and into the main area.
"Laxus! I would like you to meet the new members of Fairy Tail." Makarov stated to the yellow haired teen, now known as Laxus.
"I don't wanna meet any brats gramps, but I'll make an exception this time. Out of the way Erza and Mira!" Laxus bellowed while using both of his hands to push them out of the way.
"HEYYYYY! Laxus you bastard!" Erza and Mira snapped in unison.
"Oh shut the fuck up you half pints! Anyway let's see the new blood you brought in this time." Laxus dialed down and analyzed the 3 Slayers, with Natsu being first.
This guy rubs me the wrong way, his scent isn't natural like a normal dragon slayer. It's… FAKE, he's a fake! He has dragon lacrima in his body. Natsu thought as a shadow went over his face and he looked like he was about to explode in front of Laxus.
"Natsu? What's wron-" Nero couldn't finish his sentence as Laxus' scent hit him too.
His magic power, it's lightning. But…it's dragon slayer magic! But it's unnatural, he wasn't taught by a real dragon like me, Natsu, and the others. I don't know why but this Laxus guy is giving me a bad feeling. Nero thought as he and Natsu were thinking exactly alike.
"So half pint what's your name? Natsu wasn't it? How ya doing?" Laxus stated to Natsu and Natsu was becoming more furious with the way Laxus was acting. A shadow loomed over Natsu's face as the heat from his magic power was starting to be felt by everyone in the guild hall.
"That's some power huh squirt. So you must be a fire wizard, cause all that heat emanating from you is pretty fucking strong!" Laxus muttered as sparks of lightning were cracking around him.
"I'm… not… a… squirt! I'm Natsu Dragneel and there's no reason you should be talking down on us cause I'll burn your ass to a crisp." Natsu shouted in frustration and the other guild members were in awe.
"Wow, who knew that a new member would have the balls to stand up to Laxus like that." A boy with jet black spiky hair and nothing but his boxers on declared.
"GRAY! YOU MIND PUTTING SOME CLOTHES ON!" Erza yelled to the smiling Gray, to which he opened his eyes and noticed his situation.
"GAH! How is this happening?!" Gray blurted out.
"That attitude is really somethin' Natsu, but we'll see if you'll power up enough to take me on at a later time because I don't want new blood on my hands right now." Laxus bickered and then moved on to Nero.
"Your Nero am I right?"
"Yes Laxus."
"Your magic power is something not to play with. How'd you like to come on a mission with me?" Laxus, with a devious smirk asked the Water Dragon Slayer.
"If you want to take Nero on a mission, you shall take me and Natsu with you Laxus!" Atlas stepped into the conversation and Laxus immediately saw his golden dark brown aura of magical energy surging.
A young brunette girl who looked on at Atlas and his surging aura who made even Laxus widen his eyes. Another man with dark blue hair approached the brunette sitting at a table.
"Cana, you see that? Cool right and that's just his aura and it's giving off that kind of energy, energy strong enough to move the earth itself."
"Yeah Macao… these new guys, especially Atlas over there, are something else if even Laxus' hardheaded ass would acknowledge their power, let alone presence." Cana gushed and rested her face on her hand. She continued to keep her eye on Atlas and his cataclysmic energy.
"Ahhhhhhh and you must be Atlas. The earth wielder, your power is tremendous at such a young age, Why don't you ditch these wimps and join my Thunder Legion?"
"I'm grateful for the offer, but Natsu and Nero are my friends and their the first people I've met who are Slayers like I am and I won't turn my back on them."
"You got that right Atlas!" Natsu yelled in agreement with Atlas, while lighting his right hand on fire.
Atlas declared and even Makarov was warm on the inside at how Atlas already cares for his friends. Even the guild members and some of the girls in the guild like Erza, Mira, and Cana all had a little redness to their faces when they heard Atlas stand up for Natsu and Nero like he did.
"Tch… fine we'll all go on a mission tomorrow." Laxus bickered, but he couldn't deny that he was impressed with the 3 Slayers. Laxus then walked away but turned around when he remembered, for a split second that Atlas had said something about Natsu and Nero being Slayers.
Atlas said that Natsu and Nero are Slayers just like him? Just like me? Who the hell are these half pints that you find on the streets you old geezer?! Laxus thought and then recalled, "You said Slayers? What do you mean Atlas?"
"We're Dragon Slayers Laxus! I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer and Nero is a Water Dragon Slayer." Natsu retorted.
"So then that must mean that Atlas is an Earth Dragon Slayer right?" Laxus asked.
"Nope, I'm… a God Slayer." Atlas snapped back as he made his power be known by everyone in the guild, as the cracks in his right rand, where the rock formation is, was beginning to seep out blackish-brown energy.
A God Slayer?! But I thought those kind of slayers were only a myth? How could he be one?! What the FUCK! This squirt is stronger than he looks. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. I won't let these half pints show me up and I know the perfect type of mission to take them on, just to get in some serious training. Laxus thought as he was wide eyed as was everyone else besides Makarov to the news that Atlas is an Earth God Slayer.
"Well…it was nice meeting you runts I guess, I'll see you 3 tomorrow for the mission. Meet me here in the morning around 11 and we'll get started and DON'T BE LATE!" Laxus demanded as he walked out of the guild hall.
"That went… ok. I guess we have a mission tomorrow guys." Nero tried to make light of the situation as an awkward silence grew in the guild hall. But that soon turned to cheering and admiration for the 3 Slayers.
"You 3 will fit right in, my boys." Makarov reassured as the 3 boys laughed with him and the rest of the guild.
Natsu, Nero, and Atlas were getting accustomed to their new home and friends, admiring the energy and how lively the people were. Erza had walked up to Nero with a serious look on her face.
"Hey Nero." Erza started.
"Hi uh Erza right?" Nero replied.
"Yes and I want to let you know that I'm happy we got new guild members. 2 Dragon Slayers at that and one of the fabled God Slayers."
"Well I'm happy to be accepted Erza. I look forward to being in the guild and becoming stronger, who knows maybe we can train sometime?"
"I'd like that, I could use a training partner."
"Also another question, Master didn't tell us where we would sleep and or stay, would you happen to know Erza?"
"Well since you 3 just got here and it's still the afternoon, I guess you could stay with me for the time being." Erza uttered which made Nero become slightly red. He didn't think about sleeping in someone else's bed, let alone a girl's bed at that. However, seeing that Erza was being very kind to him and even accepted his training offer, how could he refuse.
"Y'know Erza…thanks. It means a lot to me."
"Your family now and your also my friend, I don't really have a lot of friends and truth be told, your one of the few people in the guild thats befriended me."
Nero stood in awe at Erza because she accepted him into the guild. He couldn't help but tear up at the echo of her words because Nero had no family to begin with until he was taken in by Mercuphobia. Nero moved on his own and hugged Erza and she was taken aback by this move and became wide eyed. A few moments into it, she returned the hug but lowered her eyes as she heard Nero mumble something into her ear.
"Thank you…Erza." Nero finished and they let go. But, still in each others arms they stared intensely into each other's eyes until they let go out of embarrassment. Erza turned away and began to redden, while Nero held his left hand behind the back of his head and was red just like Erza.
"A dumbass with flame for brains like you can't hope to beat me." Gray shouted as he had his left hand in his right hand, gathering ice energy. Gray seemed to use Ice-make Magic.
"Oh yeah Ice stripper, YOU WANNA GO RIGHT HERE?!" Natsu roared as fire began to seep from his hands and mouth.
"I'll talk to you later N-Nero. I have to stop Gray and Natsu from killing each other already on Natsu's first day."
Erza went in the middle of Natsu and Gray's bickering by slamming both of her hands on their heads. "STOP YOUR FIGHTING!" Erza snapped as both Gray and Natsu fell face first into the wooden ground. "Y-yes…mam." Gray and Natsu both uttered in unison.
"I know I'm not the only one that seen Erza just fuck up Gray and Natsu right? So she's strong too eh."
"Yep that's Erza for ya, one of the strongest already in the guild and she's only going to get stronger." Macao appeared near Nero and assured him that Erza is not one to play around with.
"Well Nero welcome to the guild I'm Macao."
"Thanks Macao, happy to be a part of the guild."
Nero got up and and issued Natsu to follow him outside, he wanted to tell Atlas as well but he was in the middle of talking to Cana. Nero decided to let Atlas be and wanted to train with Natsu because of their opposite Dragon Slaying Magics. They went outside to a nearby field and trained for a while until sunset.
~In an open field near the guild hall~
Magnolia
Natsu Dragneel and Nero Lamenton
The sun was near setting, Nero and Natsu weren't even tired but still breathing a little heavy and they decided to finish their session with a trademark move.
"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!"
"WATER DRAGON ROAR!"
Both torrents of majestic flame and purifying water collided with creating a rain shower in the surrounding area. "That was great Natsu, your roar is crazy!" Nero uttered to the still energetic Natsu. "Your not too bad yourself Nero, your roar was somethin' else."
"I think we should try another move I've been wanting to test out." Natsu said with a toothy smirk.
"I'm way ahead of ya Natsu." Nero responded with a smirk of his own, as Natsu had a wave of intense fire coating his right hand and Nero had blazing water energy on his right hand.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"
"WATER DRAGON'S VOID FIST!"
Both Dragon Slayers fists collided in a struggle that would shatter both of their magical energies because of the opposite element's interference. Once they recovered from the backlash, which was less than a minute, they realized the sun was beginning to set upon them.
"The sun is setting and we should get back to the guild hall." Natsu told Nero.
"Your right let's go before it gets too late."
As the Slayer duo walked back to the guild hall, they noticed a familiar scarlet haired girl overlooking a river in Magnolia. Natsu was solely focused on getting back home but Nero was confused as to why Erza would be overlooking a river. Nero stopped in his tracks and it took a few moments for Natsu to realize that Nero had stopped.
"Huh, N-Nero what's up man? Why'd you stop?"
"Look over there it's Erza."
"Yea so what about her? She's probably just enjoying the view cmon man."
"Maybe you're right, but then again, it's kinda weird that she's just there standing like that. H-Hey Erz-" Nero couldn't finish his sentence as Natsu put his hand over Nero's mouth and pulled him away. "N-no wait! ERZA!"
As Natsu pulled Nero away, Erza raised her arm to her forehead and hesitantly turned around. "N-Nero?" The scarlet knight muttered in relief as her only visible eye was tearing. She saw Natsu and Nero running away back to guild hall she thought, "Why… why did you leave Natsu and Nero?" She questioned as all she needed right then and there was a friend whose shoulder to lean on.
She continued to rub her tearing eye as she stared at Natsu and Nero, and she could swear for even just a quick glance, Nero turned his head back just to see her face.
I'll see you later Nero, maybe then we could talk about this situation and why you saw me out here by myself. I'm sorry, I'm such a fool for letting them both see me like this. The scarlet knight thought before she too made her way slowly to the guild hall as the moon would soon take shape.
~Fairy Tail Guild Hall~
Atlas Wardnorth and Cana Alberona
Natsu Dragneel and Nero Lamenton
Nero and Natsu came back and they were thirsty. They went near Atlas and Cana who were talking, they both saw them talking and decided it would be best if they didn't get in the way of it.
"I'll catch ya later on the mission tomorrow Nero be safe." Natsu said with a toothy grin.
"No worries Natsu and let's give Laxus a taste of our dragon slaying power!" Nero uttered in excitement as Natsu nodded his head and both of the Dragon Slayers grasped each others hands and their respective fire and water powers ignited, combining and creating a purple like substance with the embers and flares of Natsu's fire, and with the flowing drench of Nero's water.
Nero waited at the guild hall for Erza to return and Natsu went to speak to Makarov about a room he could sleep in. Back with Atlas and Cana, she was eager to know more about Atlas and where his God Slaying magic came from and why out of him, Nero, and Natsu was his energy the most dominant.
"Cana how long have you been in the guild?" Atlas started.
"I've been in the guild for a little while now, doin' a couple of missions here and there with some members and learning more magic."
"And where would you like that to land you." Atlas asked Cana with an interesting eye. The more Cana and Atlas seemed to talk, the more entrancing the other became. Cana was resting her head on her hand and Atlas was smiling away, admiring Cana in her beauty. "You really know how to keep a girl interested." Cana cooed softly.
Atlas giggled softly and became slightly red at the compliment Cana gave him. He would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying her company. "So Cana when you joined where did Master say you were going to stay for the night and where did you sleep until you made enough money?"
"Well the first night I stayed with a friend in Magnolia, but over the months as I gained more jewel from missions, Master Makarov suggested I stay at Fairy Hills. It's fun because all of the other girls are staying there and I could make friends with the other girls too." Cana replied to Atlas as he was thinking to himself.
"So girls of the guild are staying there, just them?"
"Yea as far as I know."
"Guess my ass is sleeping in the guild hall or one of the guest rooms for a little while."
Cana looked at Atlas curiously and with a concerned look. I don't want him to sleep on the hardwood floors of this guild hall, even though its clean I can't let him sleep here. It's just not right, maybe… he can sneak into Fairy Hills and sleep in my room. W-what am I talking about?! This is stupid, I mean it could work, but if he gets caught I'll get in trouble. Oh, what's the worst that can happen? A lecture? Hah, funny, like I care about that.
"Atlas." Cana uttered hesitantly and then took a deep breath, "You wanna…sleep in my…room tonight? O-or at least u-until you get a place to stay."
"You would do that for me? Really now?"
"I did say you do know how to keep a girl interested, so why not? You've been nice to me since we've talked and…I do need someone to…talk to." Cana nervously said while showing a hint of blushing towards Atlas.
Atlas grabbed Cana's hand and she looked back at him, but turned once he saw her blushing, he chuckled at the sight and then he accepted. Cana felt more at ease with her new friend in Atlas, she got up from the seat and guided Atlas to Fairy Hills.
~Same Time inside the Guild Hall~
Erza Comes Back From the River
Nero Lamenton and Erza Scarlet
Nero saw Atlas and Cana leave the guild hall and once the doors opened they ran into Erza right outside the hall.
"Hey Erza!" Atlas and Cana uttered in unison, to which Erza gave them an analyzing eye. They were holding hands and looked to be in a rush and as soon as Erza looked at their hands.
"Hi Cana, hi Atlas. Where are you two headed at this time?" Erza curiously asked and both the Card Magic wielder and the Earth God Slayer became red as tomatoes when the Scarlet Knight questioned their weird demeanor.
"Uhhhhh nowhere Erza!" They uttered in rapid unison, to which they then noticed they were still holding hands and then let go. Erza was a suspicious type and she cared greatly for her friends, "Just be safe you two." She declared to both of them and it gave them a sigh of relief.
Cana once again grabbed Atlas and continued to walk towards Fairy Hills. Erza proceeded inside the guild hall and saw Nero sitting at a table by himself, she walked to him and greeted him.
"So you ready to go Nero?" The Scarlet Knight asked the Water Dragon Slayer, and he looked at her with a pondering face.
"Go where?"
"To Fairy Hills."
"Why would we go over there? Isn't that the place where the girl members of guild stay?"
"Yes but you need a place to sleep now come on!" The Scarlet Knight issued to the Water Dragon Slayer as she grabbed his head and pressed it against her armor. It didn't hurt Nero that much because it was light armor but it did sting to him.
"Fine let's go… I still don't see how this is gonna work, only girls stay there and unless you can sneak me in I don't see a way."
Erza gave Nero a look and then Nero had an epiphany. For someone who could think quickly, he sure wasn't using his brain on this one.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh I get it. Good plan." Nero finished as both he and Erza walked to Fairy Hills.
~Fairy Hills~
Erza Scarlet and Nero Lamenton
The Crescent Moon in the Night Sky
Nero and Erza had arrived at Fairy Hills and Erza issued for Nero to wait outside while she go open a window and he can use his magic to get up to the rooms.
"Wait here Nero I'll open a window and then use your magic to get up to me."
"Alright no problem."
Erza went inside Fairy Hills and was greeted by the other female guild members. Mirajane, however just gave her a dirty smirk. "What is it Mira?" Erza asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Nothing you crybaby, just watch yourself."
Erza thought nothing of what the Demon of Fairy Tail had to say, she then went to her room and opened the window to see Nero leaning his back against the building.
"Pssst! Nero come on." The Scarlet Knight issued.
Nero stayed still and didn't move, which made Erza confused. Why wasn't he hearing her, was he there mentally? Until Erza heard slight sighs and faint breathing from him and then she mentally facepalmed herself.
"IS HE SLEEPING?! UGHHHHH!" Erza shouted as she turned to her room and grabbed a shield, something light and effective.
I don't like hurting my friends, let alone someone I care about. But I have to do this to wake you up. Erza thought as she came out of the window and dropped the shield on top of Nero's head.
*THUD*
Nero dropped to the ground and got back up quickly. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" He looked up and saw Erza smiling down at him. "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!"
"Oh quit your whining and get up here already." Erza declared as she walked away from Nero's view and Nero rubbed the top of his head. "Ugh… fine." He picked up the shield and jumped high enough for him to reach Erza's room window.
"That wasn't cool Erza, sure I was taking a nap but you didn't have to drop this shield on me.
"I did what I felt was right, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you that much anyway. Now try to refrain from making noise, we don't want you to get caught here no do we." Erza cooed with a serious demeanor.
"Yes mam." Nero understood and both of them had a mutual agreement for how long Nero would be sleeping at Fairy Hills until he could provide for his own apartment or until he gets enough jewel. Although they felt a little weird sleeping in the same bed, Erza assured Nero that it was ok and if anything happens to let her know. Erza got in her pajamas and Nero removed his cloak and boots, then rolled his trousers up. They then got into the bed, albeit for Nero it was pretty heart racing.
~Same Time~
Fairy Hills
Atlas Wardnorth and Cana Alberona
Atlas and Cana were in Cana's room and they were hungry, so Cana brought in some snacks from the dining hall inside Fairy Hills. Cana brought Atlas some cookies and this made Atlas' mouth water in delight.
"You know you're too kind to me right Cana."
"Well I gotta keep my man energized and make sure he grows to be a strong guy." Cana replied earning her a slight blush from Atlas, who turned away in embarrassment.
Cute. Cana thought as she saw Atlas completely go berserk on the cookies and finish the plate quite quickly. They then watched some TV on Cana's bed until they were both getting tired.
"It's getting a little late and don't you have a mission tomorrow?"
"Yes I do, shit your right it is getting late. But I was just so fascinated in being in the same room with you that I lost track of time."
When Cana heard this, she felt pleased at how a young boy like Atlas could make her feel this way, romantically at such a young age. Even though she was mostly mature for her age right now, she could tell Atlas was just like her. "Really?" Cana replied in a smiling and seductive tone. "You know how to talk to a girl too I see." She continued.
They adjusted their heads on each others shoulders so that Atlas' head would be on top of hers and watched the TV for a couple of more minutes. Until Atlas slowly drifted asleep and Cana used her to hand for leverage, and helped Atlas's body flatly onto the bed as she also laid down beside him.
Atlas was moving a little erratically in his sleep and his arms couldn't seem to keep still. While Cana was still beside him, she felt his arms go around her and smack her a couple of times. She didn't think nothing of it until she turned to face his sleeping body.
She could only admire his body as he was free of any restrictions, he looked like a cloud, moving freely against the wind. The sight made her happy as she too slowly drifted asleep, whilst facing him.
~A Few Hours Later~
Fairy Hills
Nero Lamenton and Erza Scarlet
The room was mildly cold and the night had already settled in. Nero was turned to side facing Erza's door, still nervous if he would get caught when he felt something start scratching his back, he turned to see Erza was still awake.
"E-Erza are you ok?"
"I-I…can't…s-sleep. I wanted to see if you… were awake."
Nero put a hand on Erza's forehead and noticed she was cold to the touch. "Your cold, even with these covers it's not enough. Cmon get closer." Nero wrapped his arms around Erza, and it gave him a warm feeling whilst blushing slightly. Feeling the Scarlet Knight's red and warm hair on his neck was making his heart beat rapidly.
"Thank…you." Erza uttered softly.
Nero let go of the embrace slightly to get a good look at Erza and she was entranced by his gaze as well, she blushed slightly and then Nero spoke, "Can you tell me what happened to your eye?"
"Its…too much to talk about, it hurts just thinking about it. I jus-" Erza was interrupted by Nero, who pulled her back into his body. "Stop, its ok I understand. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to Erza, I'm sorry for asking."
They both stayed quiet and Nero wished he could do something about Erza's eye, possibly even heal it but he's not yet trained to that level of Dragon Slayer Magic yet. A light bulb turned on in Nero's head, "Hey why don't we ask Master Makarov if he could heal your eye. I'm sure if he can't then he knows someone who can."
"You…r-really think so?" She asked, still visibly cold and shaken.
"I know so." He assured as he cuddled Erza closer to his body to make her warm.
~Morning~
Fairy Hills
Atlas Wardnorth and Cana Alberona
Atlas woke up first and Cana soon followed after. Atlas made sure to freshen himself up before leaving because he remembered he had a mission with Natsu, Nero, and Laxus.
"Cana come on let's go to guild hall. I have to meet Laxus there for our first mission."
"Right let's go." Cana uttered as she opened her room window and then Atlas hoisted her up bridal style and jumped out of the window, landing softly on the ground.
"Nice landing hot stuff." Cana chimed in.
"It was nothing really." Atlas replied.
As both Atlas and Cana turned to the corner to go the front of the Fairy Hills building, they spotted Nero and Erza.
Nero and Atlas quickly ran to each other with angry faces, while Cana and Erza had suspicious faces.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Nero and Atlas exclaimed in unison.
"ERZA INVITED ME."
"CANA INVITED ME."
"WHAAAAAT?! WHY?!" They both continued talking at the same time.
Cana and Erza were laughing at the exchange but knew something was up with the other. Even though Nero and Atlas were at each other's throat and were literally forehead to forehead.
"Mind telling me why Atlas was coming out of your side of the building Cana?" Erza lectured.
"Wanna tell ME why Nero was coming out of your side of the building, got something going on with the new member Scarlet?" Cana deviously smirked as she made a vein pop out on Erza's forehead.
"Touche Cana." Erza mumbled through her gritted teeth.
Eventually after a few minutes of bickering between the 4 members of Fairy Tail, they walked together on their way to the guild hall. It took awhile but they made it to the guild hall and were greeted by everyone except Mirajane.
Nero and Erza walked to Master Makarov's office, while Atlas and Cana waited at a table for Natsu to arrive. Since Laxus wasn't at the guild hall they needed to wait for him as well. Nero slightly knocked on the door and heard a faint "Come in." from beyond the door.
Nero and Erza walked in and Makarov was writing something, when he noticed it was them.
"Ahhhhh Nero, Erza how are you this morning? Nero are you ready for your mission with Laxus?" Makarov started.
"Good Master and yea I think I'm ready for my first mission. By the way, I have two questions for you."
"And what would those be my boy?"
"One, can we please find a way for Erza's eye to be healed. I would use my Water magic but I'm not yet ready for those kind of spells yet, the most I can do is lessen pain but I doubt that'd it do much. Two I need to find a grindstone, or something I can use to make armor, besides a blacksmith. I don't have any money for a blacksmith and I want to create something that would give me a new identity and let people know who I am in the world."
"Hmmmm." Makarov pondered to himself. I can't treat her eye, but maybe Porlyusica could give her a new eye.
"Well I know someone who can fix Erza's eye, I trust this person very much and I think she can do it. It won't be easy but I'm sure it will work. As for your second question, yes I have something you can use to carve armors and creations don't worry my boy."
"Thanks master." Both Nero and Erza declared in unison, then proceeded to look at each other and blush slightly. When Erza heard that someone would be able to fix her eye, she became more happy than thought possible.
"Anything for my children." Makarov finished as Nero and Erza walked out of his quarters and went to the table where Atlas and Cana were sitting at. Natsu seemed to arrive as well and he was sitting next to Atlas. Before Nero and Erza went to the table, however they decided to plan out a few things.
"Erza listen Ima need you to go to Master and tell him where this contact of his is at so you can fix your eye ok? I'm gonna be gone for a while, probably even the whole day, so when I come back I expect to see that eye nice and healed with your beautiful face."
"Got it, will do. Shouldn't be that much trouble anyway, I'll make sure to because finally hearing that someone can take this pain away from me and give me my sight back is a blessing." Erza told Nero as they both walked to the table where their group was sitting.
"OH MAN I'M FIRED UP FOR THIS MISSION! We better go up against some real competition cause nothin' gonna stop us!" Natsu declared as his body was coated in a flame aura.
"Oh yeah Natsu, this is gonna be awesome!" Atlas stood up and his dark golden brown aura was starting to become visible again.
"Well if Laxus shows maybe we can get going already. I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" Nero yelled as a blue vapor started enveloping his body.
"HEY ASHFACE, PUT A FUCKING SOCK IN IT!" Gray threatened from across the guild hall.
"WHAT WAS THAT ICE PRINCESS! I'LL FRY YOUR ASS TO A CRISP RIGHT NOW!" Natsu declared as he and Gray were forehead to forehead.
"YOU WANNA GO RIGHT NOW BUDDY, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" Gray shouted.
"How about you put some clothes on you dumbass." Natsu responded with a devious smirk as Gray looked down at himself and he was in his boxers again.
"WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!"
Everyone laughed at Gray's humiliation but it was all in good fun. Erza proceeded to go back into Makarov's office to talk about this contact and about getting her eye fixed as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Natsu, Nero, and Atlas were waiting for Laxus to show up so they could go on a mission. Soon Erza left the guild hall to presumably find this contact and Laxus finally walked through the door. He was wearing a leopard print dark yellow shirt, green pants held up by a belt with an ace of spades buckle and simple shoes. He also donned a large, brown coat with light brown fur trimming around the neck and the sleeves' edges, draped over his shoulders like a cape.
"Well this dickhead is finally here have fun boys." Cana sneered then walked away as Laxus was approaching the table of the 3 Slayers.
"Alright guys let's head out. We're going to a village that's been complaining about a band of thieves that prowl at night and for some odd reason it's always raining." Laxus stated.
"That's great for me Laxus." Nero answered happily.
"That sucks for me man, my fire is probably gonna go out under all the rain but so what. NOW I'VE GOT A FIRE IN MY BELLY!" Natsu spoke.
"Alright let's see what this mission has in store for us." Atlas ended.
