Well, here's another chapter.
To Party man: They are humans that turn into monsters.
Enjoy. ^_^
Magnolia Town Station
Ika, the youngest of his family and Kraken Soul user, arrived at the Town of Magnolia. A small town of 60,000 inhabitants and still counting. It's was prosperous ever sense the ancient are and is guaranteed to grow even more thanks to the sea and railway connections to other towns. It is also home to the most powerful guilt in Fiore, Fairy Tail. And that guild houses certain magic users known as…
"Dragon Slayers." Ika said in disgust. The Kraken Soul user looked at a piece of paper that read Magnolia Town. "Why did we even use the hat?" he thought.
You see, him and his siblings didn't really go to random directions. Before leaving; their mother, Kumo passed out a small hat filled with papers with the names of several towns, both close and far. "As long as I don't run into them, I'll be just fine."
With that said, Ika grabbed his bag and walked out of the station and into town.
After a a while, he found himself walking along a, what one could say, a river; where a small boat with boxes usually go by.
(A/N: Do you guys know what I'm referring too? I hope so.)
"Be carful Lucy. We don't want you to fall in." A man in a small boat called out. Looking up, Ika saw that a blond girl was walking on the edge of the sidewalk. "Don't worry guys. You've seen me do this a bunch of times and I haven't fallen in yeeaaaaaah!" The blond named Lucy tripped on something and almost fell to the river if it wasn't for a certain blue haired mage who caught her by the wrist.
"Oh god." Ika said, pulling the blond back up. "That was close." he commented.
"We told you!" the other man called out. "I at least didn't fall into the water!" the blond shouted back.
Ika sighed and as he turned to get his bag from the ground, he accidentally pushed it off the edge and into the river. "NO!" He yelled and saw as the bag sank to the river bed. "She's going to kill me." Ika said out loud.
"Um excuse me." The blond called. Ika faced her. "Thank you for saving me from the river." She thanked. Ika nodded. "No problem." He said and looked at the river again.
"Was there anything important there?" She asked.
"Nothing but clothe." Ika answered.
"My name is Lucy." The blond introduced.
The Kraken Soul user looked hesitant, but said his name. "Ika. Nice to meet you." He said.
They both shook hands.
"Sorry for the bag Ika." Lucy apologized.
"Hey, it's just clothe… Clothe that I'll probably need for the next few weeks." He said, mumbling the last part.
"Is there anything I can do to make it up?" She asked.
Ika held a finger, telling her to wait. He then jumped into the river. After a few seconds, Ika climbed out with his bag and himself soaking wet.
"Thank you but, I'm sure I'll be fine." Ika told her.
"None sense! Here, I'll take you to my guild. I know someone that can dry you off in a second." Lucy insisted, dragging Ika by the collar of his shirt. "No really. I'll be ok. Please!" Ika pleaded but Lucy didn't listen.
Ika knew which guild she's talking about. Lucy had the Fairy Tail symbol on her hand and he knew that if any of those pesky Dragon Slayers are there, the guild would be painted red.
Fairy Tail Guild
"Here we are." Lucy announced, letting Ika go.
"You are very persuasive." Ika commented.
"Well? Ready to go in?" She asked.
The Fairy Tail guild. It's famous for it's diversity on magic and infamous for the mages' recklessness. So it came to no surprise to open the wooden doors and see nothing but total chaos.
"Oh hey Lucy!" a blue haired girl with red glasses called out. "I thought you left for the day?"
"I did but I needed to help a friend to dry off." Lucy older her, indicating to the wet Ika.
"What happened?" the girl asked.
Lucy blushed. "Let's just say that he saved me ok?" Lucy nervously said.
Just as she finished the sentence, a wooden plank hit Ika in the face.
"Oh god! Are you ok?" Lucy asked. "I'm fine." Ika responded, rubbing his nose.
"Sorry about that!" A shirtless guy apologized.
"This guild is weird." Ika mumbled.
"Hey there Lucy." someone called from behind.
Both Ika and Lucy turned to face the person. It proved to be a guy with a white scarf and pink hair, a short girl with long blue hair, and a mother guy that seems to have pricing all over his face, each followed by a blue, white, and a black cat with a small sword on his back.
When those three looked at Ika, the air itself seemed to change.
"Who's your friend?" The perched face guy asked.
"My name is Ika. May I asked who are you?" Ika asked.
They each said their names.
"Natsu Dragneel."
"Gajeel."
"Wendy Marvell."
"What made you to came here?" Natsu asked with a stern face.
"Nothing. I was just leaving." Ika responded, grabbing his still wet bag.
As he was about to leave, someone just straight out got on his way. And that someone has much taller than him, with short spiked blond hair and a tattoo/scar on his left eye.
"Leaving so soon? But we just met." He said with a grin.
"Laxus? When did you get here?" Gajeel asked.
"I don't even know." Laxus responded.
"But let's save that for later. Now let's get into more important stuff…. where did he go?" Laxus asked. The four of them looked around until they spotted Ika walking away from the guild.
"HEY! WE ARE NOT DONE TALKING TO YOU!" Gajeel shouted.
"BUT I AM!" Ika shouted back.
Angered, Gajeel clenched his fist and turned his arm into some kind of thick metal poll. He WAS about to hit Ika with it until…
"What is the meaning of this!" a short old man questioned.
"Nothing gramps, we were… um…" Natsu tried to explain.
This old man was Makarov, the current guild master. He looked at Ika, who turned to see who was yelling.
"You over there! could you come here for a moment?" The old man asked politely.
"Gramps. Don't invite him back." Laxus pleaded.
"And why not?" Makarov asked.
"There is something off about him." Wendy responded.
"I'm sure he's a nice guy." the old man said.
Makarov then saw how Ika rolled his eyes and started to walk away again; giving a mean hand gesture as he did.
The guild master's eyes turned red and he used his magic to make himself grow in size and stretched his arm to grabbed Ika and pulled him towards him.
"LISTEN HERE KID! I AM TRYING TO BE NICE HERE AND HAVE A CIVILIZED CONVERSATION! AND IF I NEED TO USE FORCE, THEN I WILL!"
"SIR YES SIR!" Ika agreed, saluting with a free hand.
With that said, Makarov shrank and placed the pale Ika to the ground.
"Nice that we had came to an agreement. Please; follow me." The guild master instructed.
As Ika passed the Dragon Slayers, they each gave the same look, and thought the same thing. 'I'm going to kill you' is what they each thought, including Wendy.
Guild Master's "Office"
The blue haired mage and the guild master sat on opposite sides of a small table.
"What brought you here in the first place?" Makarov asked.
"Well, I saved Lucy from falling into the river and after that I accidentally knocked my stuff INTO the river then…"
Ika stopped to the hand of the old man.
"That's not what I mean. I meant to ask, what brought you here to Magnolia?"
Ika gulped.
"I wanted to check it out. To see how it's like an all." Ika responded.
Makarov rose an eyebrow.
"Really? Because someone with a great amount of unknown magic power wouldn't just want to come town and JUST see how it's like." Makarov explain.
"If you think I want to join your guild then you're wrong… not with those Dragon Slayers around." Ika said, saying the last part in disgust.
The guild master nodded his head.
"I see. Then why?"
Ika sighed. "I'm hiding."
"Hiding from whom and why?"
"I can't say who… but I can say it's because of my magic."
The old man nodded his head.
"You are the last of your magic users." The old man concluded.
Ika looked surprised and lowered his head.
"Well… more or less." Ika mumbled.
Makarov heard his mumbles but dismissed it.
"Listen, Ika, as you must already know, this guild treats their members as family and no less. We trust each other very deeply, and even if we fight amongst each other, we still love each other."
"What are you trying to say?" Ika questioned.
Makarov smiled. "I'm offering you a place in the guild."
Ika was a bit surprised at what he said.
"Are you sure? Because if you didn't feel the tension between me and those Dragon Slayers then…" Ika got interrupted by another hand.
"I felt that alright, and even if you guys never get along, I can still sense that you mean no real harm."
Ika sighed at his words.
"Look, if what you said was true, that your the last, then I want to help you."
The Kraken Soul user shook his head.
"I thank you for the offer, but I just can't take that risk." Ika admitted.
Makarov nodded his head. "I understand."
As Ika got up and was about to leave the room, Makarov called out.
"Wait."
Ika turned to face him.
The guild master got off from his seat and walked up to the bag in Ika's hand. He placed a hand on it and the bag started to dimly glow.
"There, now you don't have to walk around with wet clothe." Makarov said with a smile.
"Thank you, um…"
"Just call me Makarov." the guild master insisted.
"Thank you Makarov." Ika thanked.
Once again, Ika opened the door and as he did Makarov said the following.
"No one deserves to be alone in the world."
Ika finally walked pass the tables and guild members, who looked at him with either curiosity or awe. But as he passed the Dragon Slayers, the same tension returned. They each huffed a cloud of steam from their noses and then Ika finally left the guild.
Makarov sighed as the doors closed. "Erza." he called out.
From a table, a woman with long read hair and armor stood up. "Yes Makarov." She said.
"Would you mind watching over him for a few days?"
"That would be invading his personal space… Fine, I'll do it." She said.
Night: East Forest
Up from the top of a tree, the Kraken Soul user made a make shift bed with leaves and twigs. Ma not be the most comfortable of all beds, but it's fit for a kind of compared to the cold, rocky and sandy grounds of Web Valley.
Yes. They had to sleep there sometimes as punishment.
"I wonder what their doing?" Ika questioned, looking at the stars.
Ika sighed at the thought and closed his eyes to finally fall asleep.
Ok then, I will say that I meant for this chapter to be short but heart warming. I was originally going to put that Ika fought against one of the Dragon Slayers. I'd say that the way I introduced Ika to the guild was very well done. Anyways, I like the support that is coming from you guys. I just hope I'm making it up to you. And again, I hope you like the shorter chapter.
