A Different Fairy Tail
Chapter 1/Episode 1: The Fairy Tail
Michael: Welcome back to A Different Fairy Tail. We begin with the first episode of the series where we meet Lucy, and our first fight in the story. Hope you enjoy the little changes to this chapter as there a few things I never got to do in Re Deluxe, so I hope you enjoyed them here.
Edit 2014: More changes, mostly scene transitions that aren't too script like.
It was a couple hours since the group of Sting, Lisanna, Happy, and Lector left Magnolia and took the train to Hargeon. Unfortunately for a young blond Dragon Slayer, he had to suffer through it. Before they left their town, both mages had on red and blue coats that covered up Sting's guild stamp and the helm of Lisanna's made her thighs barely visible. Sting was slump onto the ground, the conductor of the train coming to see if the boy was alright.
"Umm, sir?" he asked concerned for the boy.
"Sting, we made it to Hargeon, let's go!" Lector exclaimed cheerfully. He and his fellow cat friend Happy looked excited as they hovered over their partner while Lisanna grabbed hers and his bags. Sting groaned feeling sick, "This is hopeless; I never want to ride another train ever again." The blond haired Dragon Slayer's face was even paler as he tried to throw up.
"Is he going to be alright?" the conductor asked concerned.
"Yeah, he gets motion sick sometimes." Lector commented he and Happy rolling his body out the train following by Lisanna with their bags.
"According to Krov, Salamander should be here somewhere in this town." Happy reminded the group. "Let's go!"
"Give me a few minutes to recover, that train ride really was murder." Sting groaned.
"Sure!" the three responded as Lisanna helped up the blond Dragon Slayer to his feet and carried him to a bench where she places him there to regain his strength. Lisanna walked away from the party, leaving their bags along with them. Sting's head was low to the ground, his face finally regaining color before looking up at the leaving train. Happy sat on his left eating a fish; while on his right Lector sat kicking his paws in the air. Lisanna finally came back, carrying two cups of milkshake. She stood in front of the Dragon Slayer, tapping his cup on his head to get his attention. Sting looked up at the smiling Take Over mage before taking his cup.
"Thanks Lisanna." Sting said his hand on the milkshake before taking a sip.
The four friends sat together on the bench, their thoughts on the Salamander Krov told them about and if it is connected to Natsu. Despite the worriedness for Natsu and hopes to find him, it was important to them to keep cool. They have been looking for Natsu for two years, yet no leads have led them closer to him. Lisanna adjusted her friend's scarf and thought about the events of his disappearance.
Two years ago, Natsu went alongside Mirajane, Elfman, Cyan and me on an S-Class request to subdue the Beast, the king of monsters. It was to be an easy job for Mira since she was an S-Class mage… however, the Beast was too much for us and Mira got hurt. Elfman tried to perform a Full Body Take Over on it in order to stop it, but the beast was too strong and took Elfman over. I tried to speak with my brother, but it didn't work and I was to be sent flying to my doom if Natsu didn't come and try and push me away. But we were both sent flying, Mira, Cyan and Happy calling our names. Elfman finally regain control, horrified for what he had done. I got up from the attack, really beat up to find Natsu was hurt as well. I could hear Mira calling for me, desperate to see if I was alright. I told my sister to go get help, that Natsu was really hurt. Mira left and I was alone with him. Natsu seem to losing conciseness, like he was dying. I pleaded to him hold on, that you'll be fine. Natsu told me something that has been on my mind for these two years:
"Don't cry, Lisanna… Promise me that no whatever happens to one of us, we'll find each other. Just, protect Sting, Happy, and Lector… Protect Fairy Tail."
And then, his body started to glow and float away, yet I tried to hold him back. I didn't want to lose him. But he's gone, and I might never see him again… but one day…
Lisanna looked into the slightly clear blue sky, her blue eyes sharp with determination, and her white bangs gently blowing in the passing wind. She wasn't going to break Natsu's dying words, no way around it. She will get stronger to protect her friends Sting, Happy, and Lector, and also keep Fairy Tail safe.
We won't give up until we find you… Natsu…
Elsewhere in another part of Hargeon, a young girl with brown eyes and shoulder length blonde hair that is tied with a blue ribbon into a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She had large breasts, and a curvaceous body. She wore a white top with a blue cross in the center with a zipper in the center too. She wore a blue short skirt along with a brown belt that held a set of gold and silver keys and a black whip with a heart-shaped end and also wore black, leather high heeled boots. The girl slap her hands to the store counter, shock to what the owner had told her.
"What?" she asked her brown eyes open wide, "You mean to tell me there's only one magic shop in this whole town?"
"Afraid so, " a shop keeper, a decidedly older-looking man with two sections of gray hair that protrude from either side of his head and black eyes and wears a dark, almost rusty, gold shirt said to the young girl, "People around here are fishing folk than they are magic folk." He added, the girl responding with a sigh, "I reckon most people in town don't even know how to use magic. I build this shop to sell to mages to happen to be passing through."
The girl turned to her side, and sighed while frowning, disappointment in her search. Her hands were balled to her hips when she added, "Oh man, I came out all this way for nothing."
"Now, Now, don't say that little lady; I have all the latest good, let me show you a few." The ship owner said digging his hands from below the counter still speaking to the blond haired girl while look to him with her head facing him, pulling out something that closely resembles a rectangular box, with its front decorated by the object's name, placed almost in its center, and by a pair of round, mirror-like objects or drawings, superimposed on, from the top to the bottom, a darker-colored rectangle with jagged borders and a round, decorated drawing resembling a mirror's frame, which is in turn surrounded by four decorations, reminiscent of arrows pointing outwards. He held out with a smile to the girl, "This ColorS magic is popular. All the young girls really seem to like it." He took his left hand to the device, but continued on, "It allows you to change the color of your clothes anytime you want."
He swirled his hand on what seems to work like a dial, before a light glowing light appeared from the top of the device along with a light green magic circle emerged from it too. Immediately, the shop owner's clothes changed from gold to purple instant, he said with smile on his face, "Purple!" as he turned away from the girl.
The girl had her back facing the counter and owner, her hands placed behind her back responding, "I already have one of those." she sighed but added, "What I really want are some powerful gate keys." as the owner's clothes changed from purple to the rusty gold they were.
"Gate keys you say," the owner responded, pulling out something that made the blond haired girl's eyes widen with an excitement, her mouth agape with a smile. "That's a rare request."
Inside of a little box was a silver key and on its bow is hexagonal in shape and carries the crest of the Celestial spirit Canis Minor at the base. "Oh wow it's the little doggy!" she squealed with delight.
"Yes, but that one's not very powerful you know?" the shop owner assured her.
"I know, but I really, really want It." she replied, a rosy blush and smile that was on her face. He picked up the box with her hands she continued on while smiling to the owner, "So how much?"
"20,000 Jewels!" he responded, holding up two fingers to indicate twenty thousand. The blonde haired girl got closer to the owner, still smiling widely.
"I'm sorry, but how much was that that again?" she asked trying to keep her smile.
"I said 20,000 Jewels." He replied still smiling.
A sweatdrop was down the back of the girl's head, speechless that it was that much for a Gate Key. There was only one option left. She sat herself on the counter, legs crossed and shirt slightly unzipped to show off her cleavage with her right hand behind her head in an attractive pose. She sported a wink of her left eye too, hoping for sure this will work.
"Aww come on, how much is it really worth?" she asked kindly with a smile, "Surly you could cut me a deal?"
The good news for the blond haired girl was the sex appeal worked and she got a deal off the key, but the bad news was it didn't go the way she wanted as it was only 1,000 off its regular price. The blonde haired girl unfortunately paid the shop owner the money and left into the streets of the town. She growled in anger, stomping her feet furiously passing by many citizens and visitors of the town.
"I can't believe he only knocked off a thousand Jewel. That stubborn old geezer must be blind" she fumed with disgust. Veins were throbbing on her head as she added, "The trick usually works, so much for using my feminine wilds."
But the blonde haired girl's angry power walk ended abruptly when the sound of screaming girls caught her attention to the side of the bridge to the bottom below. There seem to be commotion going on down there, as a large group of girls from town were cluttered around someone in the center as two girls pass her by. She face the two girls who rang pass her
"Are you sure?!" a girl with long black hair, a dress and white collar asked excitedly.
"He's really here?!" another girl with light brown short hair and a dark pink dress said with her hand in loving way as she ran with the other girl. "It's Salamander!"
The blond haired girl's mouth was slightly opened, hearing that name sounded familiar to her. "Salamander?" she repeated but then it occurred to her once she gasped in delight, clapping her hands close to the right side of her face, "As in the mage who uses fire magic you can't buy in stores?! Wow?!"
As more of the young girls ran to see this Salamander, the girl added, "I heard he vanished two years ago, I wonder if he finally came back, but why to this dead end town? But who cares, I can't wait to meet him!" and follows after the girls to meet the famous Salamander.
Meanwhile, someone else was unknowingly closing in on the famous Salamander too, a young girl around thirteen years old with a pale white face, white hair with black streaks that was tied loosely in a bun. Her eyes were a pinkish-purple color that was very cold in their appearance. She wore long, black pants that reach her ankles, and wore a deep red sweater, that covered her arms. On her feet were red converse shoes that were very worn out and dusty (showing she has been traveling for a long time). On her hip by her left side was a black katana that hanged unsheathed from the hoop of her belt. This girl's name is Kyuri Yuki Kuruwa, a once former member of Fairy Tail three years ago.
She paused for a moment, taking her left hand to her right arm. She paused, rolling up the sleeve that showed a thin scar on the arm. But it wasn't over yet as she rolled it up completely to reveal a stamp, a black Fairy Tal Stamp.
'It's been three years… I didn't want to run away, but I just couldn't take feeling like the black sheep." she sighed.
Kyuri was a member of Fairy Tail three years ago before the eventual day of Natsu Dragneel's disappearance. Her brother and she were separated when their parents and sister were killed when she was young. She joined Fairy Tail when she was ten, but didn't make any friends during her time. It was during her time that she had made so much 'bad luck' that many members mistakenly remarked about her bad luck and she ran away (Mainly the Ice mage Gray Fullbuster). Not that she quit the guild, erase her stamp cliché, she just left. No one was able to find her for three years so she hasn't kept up with the news of the death of Natsu. Her hand touched the stamp on her shoulder in a feeling of nostalgia, wondering how Fairy Tail was now. She didn't keep up with any news, mostly leaving from town to town and trying to prefect her magic.
"I wonder how everyone is doing… If they even cared about me." she admitted, before rolling down her sleeve.
Kyuri noticed a large group of girls were gathered near someone in the middle. She could hear the screams of 'Salamander!' from the distance. Kyuri gasped, recognizing that name.
"Salamander… That's Natsu's nickname, then he's here?" she asked herself.
She made a quick sprint to the crowd in hopes to see one of her fellow Fairy Tail members again.
Meanwhile with the group of Sting, Lisanna, Lector, and Happy, after leaving the train station, the four mages were now in the streets in search for one called Salamander. Happy and Lector were on top of Sting's and Lisanna's bags while the two young sixteen year old mages were walking alongside one another. Lisanna looks to Sting, her blue eyes as calm as before.
"Hey Sting, do you think this rumor of Natsu is true?" she asked curiously.
Sting pondered, his arms folded, "We should at least try, and we can't just walk away from a chance to see our friend again."
"Besides, the only person by that name is Natsu, or it could be Ingeel." Happy chimed in.
"I agree with Happy and Sting, let's at least try." Lector agreed.
Lisanna turned back to face the ground and street. "Okay, I agree too. We can't lose hope."
The four mages stopped when they heard the voices of the girls in town calling out the name 'Salamander!', 'You're so dreamy!' in a large pack of them. Happy, Lector, Lisanna, and Sting look to one another is shock.
"Salamander?!" they said in unison. Could this be Natsu, meaning their search was finally over? There was only one way to finally out. Happy and Lector hopped off their comrades' bags and ran alongside them excitement on their faces.
"See, speak of the devil, that's gotta be Natsu!" Sting said excitedly.
"Let's go!" Lisanna exclaimed with a big smile on her face.
"Aye!" chimed Happy.
"Come on!" Lector ordered to the group as they made their way to the crowd unknowingly another member of Fairy Tail and someone else was there too.
In the large crowd of fangirls of the town, a young man, relatively tall and slim man with mildly short, spiky hair jutting outwards, with a long fringe left hanging over the upper left part of his face was in the middle of the screaming girls with a charming smile on his face. He had dark blue hair, a mildly rectangular face with sharp features, dark eyes and thin, dark eyebrows. The most distinctive facial feature was the dark tattoo covering the right part of his forehead, just above his right eyebrow, this being highly reminiscent of a thin, stylized pair of tongs placed horizontally, with the "handles" pointing towards his right. He wore ornate clothing, with the most visible piece being a dark, high-collared cape almost reaching down to his knees, possessing a lighter inner part and light edges adorned by a pattern consisting of many rhombs, or possibly many 'X's, lined up one after the other. Such cape is closed some centimeters below Bora's neck by a small fastener adorned by a stylized flame, with a light ribbon hanging from it, and has large motifs adorning its sides, starting from the shoulders and going down several inches; each motif is shaped like a large, light and hollow circle from whose outer side many arrows jut outwards in every direction, and which has several wavy lines protruding towards its hollow center. Below such cape, he wore a simple, light short-sleeved shirt with outlined edges, paired with light pinstriped pants with visible hems, held up by a simple belt covered in elongated spots and largely hidden by his shirt, and polished dark shoes, with lighter soles and a light upper part going down from the ankle's front. He also sported three large metal bracelets around his right wrist and forearm, with a similar trio being visible on his left wrist. His two fingers of his left hand were raised and push from his body making his cape leave pass his shoulders. The girls screamed and swooned at the young man, all with pink hearts in their eyes. Girls cried out with phrases like, "Handsome!' or 'He's so cool!' all catering around the one called Salamander.
The young blond haired girl was in the crowd too, her mouth open wide like a fish, a faint blush on her face, and her eyes open wide too. Her heart was racing, beating fast in her chest.
'Why is my heart beating so fast?' she asked herself little pink hearts in her eyes too, 'What's gotten into me all the sudden?'
"You ladies are all so sweet!" he complimented the girls, before taking his gaze to the blond haired girl. His gaze met hers, and she gasped in shock.
"He looked at me!" she exclaimed in her thoughts seeing the smile on Salamander's face. She felt more head over heels before even meeting him. She crossed her arms over her chest, her beating heart beating faster and faster. She no longer had her mouth agape, but struggling to not smile, her lips trembling.
'Is it because he's famous mage?!"'She asked herself breathlessly, 'Is that why my heart's throbbing out of control?'
She sighed, before a large pink heart was in front of her chocolate brown eyes, feeling more head over heels by the young man.
'Could it be?' she asked thinking, hopping on one foot to inch her body even closer and closer to the blue haired man, 'Am I in love.. Is he the one?'
"Natsu, Natsu, it's us!" five voices called from a distance before entering the center of the crowd with smiles of their faces: a boy with blonde spiky hair, a girl with white hair, two cats (one blue, the other red/pink), and a young girl with black/white hair all pass by several of the girls to see the one named Salamander on either side. The four were on the blond haired girl's left and the young girl was on the Salamander's right. The blond haired girl's hearts in her eyes shattered like glass from a window, revealing her brown eyes again. She was confused but stared at what was going on, seeing the five newcomers. Their smiles turned to confused frowns, yet each uttering the same thing, "Who the hell are you?"
Salamander reacted in a panic, his body all white in shock, bewildered these five don't know who he was. "Who am I?!" he said in regard to the words. He led his ring finger hand out in the air, the rings gleaming in the sunlight.
"I am Salamander." He introduced calmly with a smile, showing his perfect white teeth, "Surly you heard of me before?"
"Nope not really…" Sting responded turning his back from the man as he called back, "Hey, wait a minute!" not realizing the change in the girls as they all growled in anger at the boy's remark. They quickly attacked the White Dragon Slayer, taking himself, Salamander, the girls and the cats off guard. Lisanna watched in horror as her friend was getting beat up by a group of wild fangirls.
"Sting, get it together and fight back!" Lector called to him.
"He won't hit an unarmed girl; he was raised better than that!" Lisanna retorted to the red and pink cat as the girls made their own furious remarks at the boy's rudeness to Salamander, calling him 'Creep!" or 'So rude!' or 'He's a great mage, so you better apologize!' and 'we're gotta rip you to shreds!'
As they wrestled the Dragon Slayer to the ground, he groaned weakly, "What is with you girls?!"
If I ever be in a relationship with a girl, this shouldn't happen. I'll take a kind one over a mood swing one (A/N 1)
"Now, now my darlings let him go. I'm sure the poor boy didn't mean anything malicious by it." Salamander assured the girls, turning back to him with love in their eyes again. While they swoon over him again, the blond haired girl did not. She crossed her arms, looking at the Salamander with a disapproving scowl.
The girls released the White Dragon Slayer, his expression less amused than before, looking to the blue haired man giving him a sighed autograph with his name on it. "Here's my autograph, why don't you give to you little girlfriend over there." he added, gesturing to Lisanna whose eye twitched in anger.
Sting scoffed, snatching the autograph from his hands commenting, "She's not my girlfriend… weirdo."
The girls all growled and tried to attack Sting again to make him pay for talking bad about Salamander when a large bear was in front of them along with Kyuri in front of it. But it wasn't a real bear, but one crafted by ice. It was large and average sized for what a bear looks like, almost real enough to growl at them.
"Stay away from Sting-kun, you hear me or you'll deal with me, you harpies." She stated darkly, the girls all stepping away from Sting and the girl. They didn't want to anger the small girl, not with something dangerous the she conjured. (A/N 2)
Lisanna sighed in relief, glad Sting wasn't hurt and overjoyed seeing an old friend who usually was to herself and didn't have any friends.
Salamander didn't seem bothered as her Ice bear vanished and he stated something to the girls, "Well, I'm afraid I have business I must be attending to."
The swooned Fangirls all look to Salamander, saying in unison, "You're leaving already?!"
The blue haired man held out his ring hand and announced with a smile, "Time for the Red Carpet."
With a snap of his fingers, a red magic circle appeared and small purple flames were summoned under his feet. The flames formed a spiral as The Salamander rose a few feet of the girls. The girls were impressed and squealed as Salamander announced something to the girls and getting the others' attention to him.
"I'm having a party on my yacht tonight." he announced to the girls, "And you're all invited!" he added before zipping off into the air, leaving the screaming crowd of girls, Sting's party, Kyuri, and the blonde haired girl.
Lisanna, Happy, Lector, and Sting looked onwards where Salamander left, one thought was on the White Dragon Slayer's mind.
"Who the heck is that guy?" he asked.
"I don't know, but he was a real creep." A girl's voice said in response to Sting's question.
"Tell me about it." both Kyuri and Lisanna said in agreement, but were confused to who said that. They turned their heads to a young girl a year older than them. She had chocolate brown eyes and shoulder length blonde hair that was tied with a blue ribbon into a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She had large breasts, and a curvaceous body (but it wasn't on either of the five's minds as they were wondering just who was she). She wore a white top with a blue cross in the center with a zipper in the center too. She wore a blue short skirt along with a brown belt that held a set of gold and silver keys and a black whip with a heart-shaped end and also wore black, leather high heeled boots. If Lisanna was on her feet, the girl looked almost her height, same with Sting but Kyuri would on only reach her stomach.
"Thank you for your help." She added with a friendly wave and smile.
The four looked confused, but Lisanna turned to Kyuri glad to see her again.
"Kyuri, long time no see!" Lisanna greeted with a smile, placing a hand to the girl's small shoulders.
Kyuri smiled up at Lisanna and greeted her too, "Hey, Lisanna-chan."
"You know, everyone was worried about you, just up and ran off like that." Lector said, looking to the young girl.
Kyuri looked solemnly to the ground, her eyes on the pebble ground. "I'm sorry, I was really upset about all the trouble I caused, and what Gray said…"
Lisanna sighed, trying to hide the anger she had for the boy three years ago to speak with Kyuri, "Gray wasn't thinking, he didn't mean it. Besides, I handled him and Ur too… So you don't have to worry about anything." She assured her.
"Really?" Kyuri asked her purple/pink eyes looking into Lisanna's blue ones.
Lisanna nodded to her, but then a loud grumbling noise interrupted the group. The blonde haired girl giggled and said, "Looks like you're hungry. Come on, I'll treat you to some food."
"Really?!" the two male cats said excited, feeling hungry and drool coming from the left sides of their faces.
"Thank you." Sting replied as he and the others followed the blond haired girl to restaurant. Inside, the girl decided to introduce herself to the party. The girl sat alongside Kyuri and Lisanna while Sting, Lector and Happy sat on the other side of the table.
(Cue Lucy's theme—Fairy Tail Volume one Sound track)
"My name's Lucy, it's nice to meet you." the blond haired girl greeted to the group.
"Aye, I'm Happy." the blue cat introduced.
"My name's Kyuri Yuki Kuruwa." The young black/white haired girl greeted. "But call me Kyuri for short."
"I'm Lisanna, nice to meet you Lucy." the white haired mage greeted.
"I'm Sting Eucliffe, nice to meet you." the blond haired Dragon Slayer greeted to the blonde haired girl.
"And I'm Lector." The red/pink cat introduced last.
Once Lucy ordered their food, the three boys (mostly Sting) were digging into the food wildly while the girls watched and ate themselves. The boys were eating like crazy, bits of food flying around while Lucy looked on with a nervous expression on her face. Many of the costumers were looking at the display as disgusting and barbaric. Lisanna simply smiled, Lucy on the other hand decided to speak again.
"Uh Lisanna, Sting, Lector, Happy, and Kyuri was it?" she asked hoping to get their names correct. Sting replied with a simple mumble of 'yeah' before continued eating his food.
"You're so nice." Sting added still chowing down.
"Thanks, but you can slow down, we're not in a hurry. And food's kinda flying everywhere" she reassured the blonde haired Dragon Slayer. But thought with sigh, 'There's goes the money I saved at that old geezer's shop.'
Kyuri laughed heartedly, her usually cold looking eyes showing more life in them as she continued to smile, "You haven't changed Sting-kun."
"Anyway, that Salamander guy was using magic, a charm spell to hypnotize the ladies in town to think that they were in love with him." Lucy explained to the eating pair.
Charm Spells have the power to attract people to you against their will. Why would someone use that kind of magic, this is really fishy.
"But I thought charm magic was illegal, they banned that kind of magic a long time ago." Kyuri asked, taking a sip of orange juice.
"Yes, and I was able to break out it because the five of you intervened like that, so this is my way of saying thanks." Lucy added.
"Well you're welcome." The five said in unison.
"I know I may not look it, but I'm a mage myself." The blond haired girl stated smiling, her index finger pointing to her face as Sting stuffed tomatoes into his mouth.
"You say so?" Sting mumbled, looking at her.
"Yeah, but I haven't joined a guild yet or anything." she added calmly before looking back at Sting, happy, and Lector, "Oh and I should probably explain huh?"
"We wouldn't mind." Lector admitted eating fish with Happy.
"See Guilds are these organizations where mages come together to share information and find work and things like that." Lucy explained to the group. "Unfortunately you're not considered a full fledge mage until you become a member of guild."
Lisanna slightly nodded, but before noticing Lucy acting strange and almost fangirl like. She was fidgeting in her seat with her hands clap close to her face. She added excitedly, "But there are tons of them all over the world, I heard it's really tough to get into the more popular ones and the guild I want to join in the most popular one there is." She turned her head from the boys with a faint pink blush on her face and her hands to her cheeks, gasping a love like sigh before adding steam firing from her nostrils too while speaking really fast, "Yeah, they're the greatest and they're always featured in Sorcerer Weekly. Oh if I can actually convince them to let me join, I could just die!"
"Yeah?" Sting replied with a frown, looking directly at Lucy.
She's really excited, are most girls excited over join a guild? I hope when she said die, it's won't be by something like sword through the chest? (A/N 3)
Lucy looked back at them, fanning her right hand in a reassuring way, "I'm sorry, all this mage talk must sound like gibberish to you huh?" she asked before laying her elbows down on the table still smiling, "But I'm telling you, I'm definitely join that guild someday and then I'm gonna take exciting jobs and make lots of money."
"Oh that's nice." mumbled Sting.
"You sure go on a tangent, miss." Lector commented.
Lucy's smile faded when she remembered something from her long winded explanation. These five were looking for someone right?
"Oh man I almost forgot, you guys came here trying to find someone didn't you?" she asked,
"Yes." Lisanna admitted to the girl, "We were looking for our friend, he went by the name Salamander but that guy didn't look like him."
"What does your friend look like?" Lucy asked.
"Well he's about your age… excuse me, how old are you?" Lisanna asked.
"I just turned seventeen a few days ago." She explained nicely.
"Well he's your age, has pink colored hair and black eyes. Have you seen him?"
Lucy shook her head, making everyone sad upon hearing it.
"Well what happened to him?" she asked curiously
The moment Lucy asked that, the white hared mage startled to cry making Lucy and Kyuri look shock. This was strange, why was she crying? Happy looked sad too, not finishing his fish.
(Cue Fairy Tail—Piano version—Fairy Tail Volume two soundtrack)
"W-What wrong? Are you okay?" Lucy asked stammering.
"Lisanna-chan, what's wrong?" Kyuri asked.
Sting stopped eating and placed a solemn hand to his comrade, saying lowly, "You don't have to tell her if you don't want to. Don't force yourself, Lisanna."
Lisanna sniffled, whipping the tears from her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry, it's just… the one I'm looking for… something terrible happened to him."
Kyuri gasped, her hands slapping the table in response rising up to look at Lisanna and then Sting. "Wait, you don't mean…?"
Lisanna look to the girl, but nodded slowly in order for Kyuri to understand what was going on. The black/white haired girl clapped her hands to her mouth and sat back to her seat.
"No way Lisanna, you can't be serious…" she breathed in disbelief.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on, I'm completely lost." Lucy said hand to her head scratching it.
Lisanna wiped away more of her tears, but said softly, "It's complicated, but the person I'm looking for vanished and I'm trying desperately to find him… me, Sting, Lector, and Happy have tried for two years now…" Lisanna's grip her hands tightly under the table, her body shaking with anger. "I don't know who that guy is, or why he's having some party, but I know this…" her nails dug deep into her palms almost making them bleed. "He's not going to get away with what's he's planning, I'll stop him."
"Me too!" Happy chimed in.
"I'll help too!" Lector chimed in too.
"You got my support Lisanna." Sting grinned.
"If this guy's using Salamander, then he's our enemy." Kyuri placed her hand to her chest, "I'll gladly lend a hand to my comrades."
"You guys need some extra help?" Lucy asked, looking at them seeing their serious in their faces.
Lisanna look to her and nodded, a smile returned to her face. "Yeah, that guy's going to pay for using my friend's name… It's time we crash that party."
"Right!" they cheered as one, ready to crash the Salamander's party.
"But, we can't crash any party dress like this…" Lisanna added smiling, looking at the two girls of the booth and noticing none were dressed for a party. "So Sting, would it be alright just this once?"
Sting chuckled, knowing this time was an actual importance than the last time she asked of this, "Well just this once, Lisanna."
"Cool, we got all the rest of the day to get ready. He did invite all the girls, so it makes sense for us to be there." Kyuri said finishing her meal.
"Alright, listen to me and let's go over the plan." Lisanna added, "If we do this, we won't have to any big fighting yet."
"Got it!" everyone said as the five plus Lucy were ready to put their plan into action.
It was the night of Salamander's party, and of course three girls were there ready to put their plan into action. Lucy was dressed in a red party dress that exposed the top of her cleavage, red high heel shoes and a red ribbon in her hair. Lisanna was dressed in a powered blue party dress with a light blue sweeper on her shoulders with a single button buttoning it up that covered her chest. Her friend's scarf was around her neck too. Kyuri, the youngest of the girls, wore a black dress with a white sash around her waist. On her feet were black short soled heels with white straps. She was wearing a white sweeper around her shoulders the same as Lisanna. They were standing around the bow of the ship with the other girls, doing their best to pretend to enjoy themselves until the signal is called to strike. Lisanna stared into the air, where two small dots were in the sky. Happy, Lector, and Sting were up in the air, the two cats' angelic large wings out and floating in the breeze.
Lisanna pick up one of the glass and stared at the content, giving it a quick sniff before dunking it to the bow. Lisanna scoffed.
Sleep magic… He's really is a low life.
"Lisanna-chan." Kyuri whispered to the white haired mage. Lisanna kneeled down to the girl who said, "I asked most of girls, and they all told me the same thing. They claim we're going to Fairy Tail."
Lisanna scoffed again, a glare in her eyes. "So, that's his angle. Trying to tarnish Fairy Tail… He's low."
Lisanna looked to see Lucy was missing, but added, "Looks like Salamander is talking in private with her. Alright Lucy, just play your part and I'll keep my promise." And look to the party, thinking back before the party started.
Flashback—
The three girls were now dressed in their dresses a few hours before the party started. Lisanna was flattening her dress down to her feet as Lucy looked to her.
"Hey, Lisanna?" Lucy asked curiously.
"Yeah?" Lisanna replied.
"You seem really determined to deal with that creep. How come, I don't mean to pry?"
Lisanna giggled, placing a hand on her shoulder, showing a smile that wasn't too present on the serious looking mage when she spoke of their plan, "I'll tell you what, do this for us and I'll let you know, okay?"
Lucy smiled, closing her eyes to the mage, "Sure it's a deal!"
End Flashback—
Lisanna then look to where she thinks Lucy and Salamander were, her blue eyes staring seriously at the room where the two were in. She took one last look of it before going to get another glass to 'drink' it. This was all part of their big plan, but it's all important that Lucy somehow get into trouble from Salamander.
Lucy, don't let us down.
Inside the room with Salamander and Lucy, "its Lucy right?" he asked the blond haired girl. "That's a lovely name."
Lucy was sitting on a pink chair facing Salamander who sat across her sitting with his legs crossed. On a small table with a white cloth was a bottle of wine and two glasses.
"Yeah, thanks." she replied trying to keep her smile and calmness.
"I like to toast your beauty." he stated to the blond haired girl before snapping his ring hand. The contents of the glasses started to bubble, while Lucy sat with her hands to her lap. Bubbles started to float up from the glasses, but Lucy kept calm keeping her eye on them.
"Now… Open up wide Lucy, savor the taste of each flavorful drop as they enter your mouth." He stated to the girl again.
'Creepy!' Lucy exclaimed teeth clenched in her thoughts getting the chills from the guy. She opened her mouth, the droplets getting close to her mouth, her eyes shut, 'I'm strong, and I can get through this." she told herself.
But she finally opened her eyes, getting up from her chair and slapping the droplets away. Her eyes were narrowed with seriousness, confronting the Salamander about this.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked sternly to the blue haired man. He gasped his mouth agape as she added, "I know what you're up too, you're trying to use sleep magic."
But Salamander regained his cool, smiling at the blond haired mage's deduction, "Very impressive, my dear."
"Look, I might look dumb, but I'm not some stupid girl who is going to be with someone like you if you put me to sleep. You got that?" she retorted, her right fist clenched and her left arm behind her back.
Salamander chuckled, turning to his side, "You know, you're quite the handful."
On cue, the curtains were pulled back, revealing many muscled bound thugs carrying the girls from town on the backs or carried by their waist. Lisanna and Kyuri were among them, but weren't in the same problem the other girls were in. They were pretending to be unconscious. The thugs grinned evilly, as Lucy saw all of them. But she had to play her part, just as Lisanna said.
'Let's see if I got what it takes to be an actress one day.' the blond haired girl thought.
Lucy gasped in surprise fake shock, seeing at the girls from town and her two girls she met today.
"What's going on here?" she asked, still playing the role of the victim in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Welcome aboard my ship…" Salamander said his tone must different than what Lucy remembered it. It was much eviler than the charming facade he gave the girls in town. "And it'll be wise to behave yourself until we make it to Bosco…" he smiled but added looking at her, "Don't make me angry!"
"We're going to Bosco?!" she asked in false surprise, turning to Salamander with angry look on her face, "You said you get us into Fairy Tail!"
"Forget it, I just said that you and the girls to gather you all here and make you one of our slaves." He explained coldly.
"How could you?!" she asked still in false shock, but thought, 'So that's why, and Lisanna was right for us to get onboard and not be caught in it. Glad I listened in and helped, or I would be helpless.'
Lucy looked around at the thugs who still carried the sleeping girls with grins on their faces. "You're going to kidnap these girls?!"
One of the group of thugs chuckled in the room, calls of "That's our Salamander alright!", or "We got a big haul this time!" were heard from two of them before the laughter and grins were stopped by someone else laughing. But it wasn't the thugs or Salamander, but it was Lucy. She was laughing, actually laughing. Her face down to the ground before looking up, her own grin was now on her face.
"I can't believe you fell for it… Lisanna, Kyuri, now!" she called to the entire room.
The thugs were stunned as one of them carrying Lisanna was kicked in the back of the head by a heel as a young girl called out, "Ice Sculpt magic: Spear!"
A spear as tall as an average mage, materialize in the room, startling the one thug carrying the girl. As it shot up in front of him and into the ceiling, making him release Kyuri. She and the white haired mage flip to Lucy's side, standing ready to fight. The three girls looked seriously at the thugs and Salamander.
The thugs were stunned, how are they awake so easily. Salamander wasn't moved, but merely just clapped. Lisanna kept her blue eyes on Salamander, her anger boiling. Kyuri stayed closed to Lucy, while the young blonde haired girl had her hand close to her left thigh.
"Bravo, you three plan this whole thing out?" he asked.
"That's right, we had a hunch something was off and we came here on this boat to stop you." Kyuri smirked. "No one lies around me and gets away with it."
Salamander smirked evilly, the many thugs dropping the sleeping girls facing the three girls cracking their fists ready to fight.
"And just how three little girls are going to stop us?" he asked coolly.
Lisanna grinned, pointing to the hole the spear Kyuri conjured made to get their attention. "Who said we're fighting alone?"
Just then, the ceiling of the room was burst open as someone came crashing down into it. The floor board was crumbling in the impact, sending dust and pieces of wood flying around. A boy with blond hair and a blue coat appeared with a serious scowl on his face. Lisanna, Lucy, and Kyuri all were excited to see him.
"Sting, just in time!" the girls all cheered to the Dragon Slayer.
But unfortunately, the White Dragon Slayer was on a mode of transportation and as the yacht swayed in the waters, the young blonde haired boy's face immediately pale, turning around to puke.
"I'm gonna hurl!" he groaned, leaving the girls, Salamander, and the thugs speechless.
"Crap, we forgot about that/you are so lame!" were the calls of Lisanna and Kyuri and Lucy who couldn't believe someone like Sting could be motion sick so easily.
"Lisanna, Lucy, Kyuri, are you okay?" called the two cats from the opening of the boat ceiling. The two cats' angelic white wings remained airborne as they seemly glided the air without flapping their wings.
"Happy, Lector, that goodness you're here!" Kyuri said excited to see them.
"Lisanna's right about these guys, this boat isn't going to where he claims it's going…" Lucy said but added, "Wait, how come you two can fly?" seeing the wings on the cats' back.
The thugs and Salamander were still puzzled and dumb seeing Happy and Lector, not only talking but flying. How can cats fly and talk?
"We'll explain later!" Lisanna said looking to the cats, "Happy and Lector take Lucy and see if you can stop the boat." she looks back to the Salamander and the thugs, "We'll handle these guys."
"Aye!" the blue furred cat said with the pink/red feline comrade agreeing, wrapping their long tails onto Lucy's waist and carrying her off the boat.
Realizing what was going on, Salamander recovered and ordered to his men, "After them, we can't let them report this to the Magic Council!"
In the air, Lucy was swaying back and forth under Happy and Lector, her dress billowing in the air as the two cat flew from the ship to find a way to stop it.
"Wait a minute, what about Sting, the girls and the others?" she asked the two cats.
"Don't worry; they'll be fine, besides we would only have to carry only two people from the both of us!" Happy replied back to the mage.
"Happy we got trouble!" Lector exclaimed to his fellow feline as Salamander readied his attack.
"Prominence Whip!" he called out from the boat, waving his left arm and a red magic circle appeared in front of him, as many purple beams were fired from the magic circle and heading straight for Happy, Lector, and Lucy. The blonde haired girl was panicking as the two maneuvered and evade the beams doing their best to protect Lucy. The cats carried Lucy higher into the air as she screamed, the beams following after them. With a quick dodge, the cats flew in between the beams; the beams collided in the air in an explosive purple light like fireworks. The thugs were amazed by it, calling it pretty.
"Nimble little felines, I'll give them that." Salamander commented seeing them dodge his attack so easily.
"Hey guys?" a boy's voice called, getting the men's attention once they turned around. Sting was kneeled to the ground, being supported by Kyuri and Lisanna. Sting panted in anger, his canine like teeth clenched in anger, same as the girls who were angry as well.
"Okay, so how do we stop an entire shop and get it back to shore, because I have no clue!" Lector exclaimed his voice in the wind.
"I have one idea, but I want you guys to trust me." Lucy explained.
"Okay!" the cats replied.
"Drop me into the water, I'll handle it!" she yelled through the wind.
"You're sure?!" they questioned in disbelief.
"Trust me!" she replied back in a serious tone.
Lector and Happy look to the one another as they flew, wondering if they should take the request of the girl. It was the only to stop the boat and Lucy seem to have the right idea.
"Okay…" they decided and uncurled their tails from Lucy's waist. The blonde haired mage began to drop like a rock and dive into the water, but then soon followed by the two cats. Lucy was submerged into the ocean, swimming a little while still underwater. To the Salamander's point of view, the three had falling into the waters.
Salamander spoke sternly to his crew, the thugs beating up on a weaken Sting and pinning Lisanna and Kyuri to the ground.
"Forget about them; let's continue our course to Bosco."
One of the thugs kick Sting's left arm, the Dragon Slayer lifting him up off him with said arm. Lisanna and Kyuri grunted in pain getting the thugs off them.
"Fairy Tail Guild…" they grunted in pain, getting Salamander to look back to them. While still kneeled to the ground, they said again teeth clenched, "You're a member?!"
Back with Lucy, the three were back in the surface of the water as the red/pink cat asked, "So what's the plan, Lucy?"
Lucy smiled confidently in response, looking at the ship slowly sailing away, "Just watch and learn little kitty. Here we go." and pulled from under her dress a pair of keys, three that were gold and three that were silver. She took one key, a gold key with a picture of blue waves at the base, before twirling it in her left hand, "Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!" she called before plunging the key into the water as a blue magic circle and a ring of waves started to pick up. The water picked by from here the blue magic circle was summoned, revealing something appearing from it. It was a royal blue mermaid. She had a long blue fish-tail, large breasts, and donned a revealing bikini top. She has two gold armlets and wears a jewel circlet. In her hands was an Urn, a vase-like container that features curled handles that are symmetrically attached to opposite sides of the vase. It is embellished by dark blue rings studded with blue dots occupying the narrowed neck and the bottom rim of the container, with the widened center of the urn encompassed by a decorative helix-like pattern of blue stripes that are alternatively shaded.
Happy was ecstatic seeing the newcomer, drool forming the side of his mouth. Lector sighed, this was Happy alright.
"A Fish?!" he asked, but Lucy slapped his forehead.
"Not for you!" she remarked to the hungry blue furred feline.
"That's was awesome!" the boys said excited, floating up like Lucy facing the spirit.
"That's the power of a Celestial mage." Lucy said proudly her eyes closed while smiling, "Whenever I use my gate keys, I came summoned spirits from another world to help me."
Lucy then pointed her finger to the boat, addressing Aquarius with a command while Happy stared at the spirit, still wanting to eat her, "Listen up Aquarius, I want you to use your power to push that ship back into the shore."
But Aquarius didn't response with a simple 'Yes ma'am', but with a scoff. Her face was formed into scowl, not pleased to be here.
Lucy reacted annoyed at the spirit's response Happy and Lector just watching, "You're supposed to come from the spirit world to help, not to give me attitude!" she yelled at the blue haired spirit.
"Uh Lucy, I don't think you should make her angry." the boys said in fear. But the blue haired spirit was already pissed, speaking to Lucy and the cats with waves forming behind her.
"Let's just get something straight, you might be her daughter, but if you so even drop my key…" she added, the terror in her eyes that made even the cats scared too, "You're dead."
With the cries of a whimper, the three replied, "It won't happen, we promise."
(Cue Invoke Magic—Fairy Tail Volume one Soundtrack)
Aquarius began to absorb water into her urn but before a glint of her urn was made too as she hurls it with tremendous force creating a big wave of water in the middle of the ocean. A big wave of water was carrying the yacht to the port, the passenger all hocked while Sting was still slightly wide eyed.
"Why's the seas so angry?!" Salamander asked in shocked by the change in the current.
But the yacht wasn't the only thing being carried by the waters as Lucy, Happy, and Lector were carried too.
"Hey, don't wash me away with it" Lucy screamed at the water spirit as she was swirling in the water too.
Finally, the big water wave crashed into the port, and the yacht Salamander, the thugs, Lisanna, Sting, and Kyuri were on was topside on the beach.
"What's the big deal?!" Lucy asked Aquarius after finally getting out of the water to face the spirit while Happy and Lector got out too. Anger boiled in the mage, why would she do such a thing? "You think you could have not swept me up with the ship too?!"
"Oh, that was an accident; I didn't mean to get the ship." She remarked coolly smiling at her.
"Wait?!" she realized, shocked that she really tried to kill her, "So you were aiming for me?!"
But Aquarius turned her head from the blond haired steamed mage adding, "Don't call me for a while. I'm going on a weeklong vacation with my boyfriend." before deciding to rub it into Lucy's face before vanishing into blue light, "And he's hot."
"You don't have to rub it in!" she retorted to the spirit as she left. The two cats then asked to add the final nail to the coffin, "You're single?"
"Don't remind me…" she responded gloomily. Lucy got up from the sand to see the citizens of the town were seeing the topside ship on the beach too. Many were wondering about the odd tidal wave and the ship here on the beach. Salamander held his head in pain, commenting, "That hurt…" but someone got his attention, "What in the…?"
Appearing the cloud of dust behind them while on top a part of the ship, were Lisanna, Sting, and Kyuri. Sting had recovered from his motion sickness as he stood with his comrades. Lisanna's dress was ripped from the bottom revealing her pale legs, the same for Kyuri's dress.
"Lisanna, Sting, Kyuri!" Lucy called from the beach and running up to the ship. With the cats on her shoulders, Lucy stopped and looked up at the three. Their expression weren't like in the restaurant, or Sting's moment of weakness. No, this was a completely different Sting, Lisanna, and Kyuri.
(Cue Fist of Flame—Fairy Tail Volume one Soundtrack)
"So you claim to be a member of the Fairy Tail Guild?" Lisanna, Sting, and Kyuri asked the Salamander who was below them.
"So what's it to you three?" He replied back, frowning but ordered to the thugs, "Go get them, men!"
"Sir!" they responded with a nod ready to deal with the pest.
"Let me get a close look at your face." Lisanna remarked pulling off her sweeper the same time Sting grabbed the shoulder of his coat and Kyuri her sweeper too. They removed them as Salamander grinned; the three not fazed as they left the shred of clothing fall to the ground.
"Watch out!" Lucy warned to the three as several of the men were coming their way.
Happy and Lector weren't worried like Lucy, instead were smiling. The blue furred cat had a fish in his paws as she assured the blond Celestial mage, "Don't worry about them. We probably should have stood you this earlier, but Sting, Lisanna, and Kyuri are mages too."
Lucy screamed in shock at this reveal. Those three she met, who were so serious about coming onto the yacht, were mages too?
As the thugs were getting closer to the three, they didn't seem worried as Lisanna and Sting swatted them away like flies while Kyuri slashed at them with her katana. With serious looks on their faces, they announced to Salamander,
"Our names are Sting, Lisanna, and Kyuri, we're Fairy Tail mages, and we never seen you before in our lives!" they exclaimed with anger in their voices.
On Sting's left shoulder was a white mark shaped like a Fairy, on Lisanna's left thigh was a white mark, and on Kyuri's left shoulder was a black mark. Salamander, his men, and Lucy were shocked.
"So those three are Fairy Tail mages?!" Lucy asked in disbelief.
"Those marks!" one thug realized seeing them on the three's bodies. "There's no mistaken it, there the real deal, Bora." Not realizing he let a name not like the Salamander's slip. The now revealed fake Salamander retorted angry at the thugs who spilled the beans.
"You idiot, don't use my real name!" he retorted at the thug.
"Bora… Bora the Prominence. He was kick out of the Titan Nose mage Guild years ago." Happy explained to a shocked Lucy.
"Can't believe he stoop this low and steal our friend's name." Lector admitted still on Lucy's shoulder.
Lisanna walked her way first to Bora, her friend's scarf flowing slightly in the night time breeze. "I don't care if you are good guy or bad guy…" her blue eyes narrowed in anger as declared, "No one's going to be tarnishing my friend or Fairy Tail's name while I'm here."
Sting and Kyuri followed suit and followed after her adding, "That's right!"
Bora wasn't fazed by the white girl's remark before saying back, "We'll see about that, little girl!" and stretched out his arms yelling, "Prominence Typhoon!" and conjured another red magic circle in front of himself producing a swirling column of purple fire that was heading for the three. Lisanna's eyes widen as the fire collided with them and engulfed them in the fire.
"Lisanna, Sting, Kyuri!" Lucy cried, seeing the three confirmed mages probably being burned from the flames. She tried to go and save them, but Lector and Happy held their paws out, not worried in the slightest.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Lector assured her. "You haven't seen anything yet."
Lucy looked at the cats and back to the ship, worried for them up there in the blazing fire, now goners. The captive girls that were on the ship had woken up and ran from the ship, getting away from the scene. Bora and his men watch the flames, knowing full well that three kids couldn't survive the heat.
"The bigger the talk, the weaker the child." he stated to his men, but was interrupted by a voice in the flames.
"This is horrible, what a horrible tasting flame." A girl's voice commented inside the flames.
"My brother's flames were better; you're really a fire mage. This is no fire I would eat." said a young boy's voice in teasing way.
"How can someone who called himself by Salamander have flames like this?" a younger girl's voice added in agreement, "You're more a liar then I already realize."
Bora turned at this seeing the shadows of the three mages. While her features remained unseen by everyone, thee white haired mage started to devour the flames around her and the two. Bora and his men were shocked and speechless that this girl was eating the flames around her. When the flames were finally gone, there not only stood a well fed Lisanna, but a whole new version of her was standing there before looking up at the men.
"Thanks for the meal." she grinned in response, her left hand to her face.
"That girl looks different!" one of the thugs realized.
"Is that… Lisanna?" Lucy asked in disbelief.
There standing in the aftermath of the fire attack was Lisanna, or a new one. The girl was no longer wearing her party dress, instead dressed in a cotton yukata decorated with red-orange flames. It was a sleeveless yukata and the skirt reach pass her knees. On her back was a red bow and her arms were red half way up her arms, but not red skin but red feathers. Her two hands each resembled a bird's talon but still looked like her hand. Lastly was Lisanna's white hair now her bangs each had red, orange, and yellow highlights that look like feathers. Her friend's white scarf still remained around her neck, matching her appearance uneven.
Bora stammered in fright seeing the new girl, "What is that girl?!" he asked terrified.
"Fire won't work on Lisanna, while she's in her Phoenix Soul Takeover." Happy explained.
"Phoenix, you mean the creatures that are reborn from the ashes when they die?" Lucy asked
Lisanna got closer to Bora and his men, Sting following right next to her. "Now I got a fire in belly in that's waiting to get out!" she admitted, flames surrounding her wrists while white energy surrounded Sting's body. Lucy gasped seeing the energy surging around Sting.
Lisanna held her hands out, declaring along with Sting, "We'll blow you away!" A red magic circle appeared in front of Lisanna's hands as Sting began to hold his breath before a white magic circle appeared in front of him.
"White Dragon Roar/Phoenix Flame Burst!" the two mages exclaimed, Lisanna sending out a powerful stream of red flames from her hands as Sting let out a tornado of white light from his mouth and traveling through the magic circle. The two attacks joined as one, the now stream of fire/white magic collided together with Bora and his men that created a big explosion. Dust and sand were kicked up from the impact of the attack, Lucy's dress picking up from the attack. As the smoke cleared, more damaged to the yacht was already made. The many members of Bora's crew were in the wreckage, the former Titan Nose mage floating down with his purple flames and survived the attack.
"B-Bora, I've heard of those two." one of the thugs said to the blue haired mage, "That scarf, those eyes. There's no mistaken it, they're Salamander's comrades…"
Lucy gasped, remembering one of the names besides Salamander… "Wild's Soul… Lisanna's that person?"
(Cue Natsu's theme—Fairy Tail volume one Soundtrack)
"Pay close attention now..." Lisanna said to the fake Salamander and his men, flames still surrounding her wrists as two red and orange wings burst out from her back, her two comrades still ready to fight, "This is what Fairy Tail mages are like!" and together, the three mage leap themselves to the fake Salamander, the blue haired mage flying backwards in the air.
"Red Shower!" Bora announced, conjuring another magic circle in front of his body, sending out a number of fierce, purple flames that rained down at the three as they ran pass them. Sting grabbed the arm of Kyuri and hurled her into the air where the fake Salamander was.
Taking her katana, Kyuri swung at the false Salamander, nicking his arms and slashing at his cape, ripping it. As she dived down to the ground, she took from her folds of her sash ice cubes.
"Ice Sculpt magic: Lance!" she called; the cubes in her hand transforming into large ice shaped lances and shot themselves towards Bora. The Fake Salamander evaded them; not realizing it was a sneak attack. Lisanna and Sting came right behind them as they punched the blue haired mage with their fists wrapped in fire and light. The fake Salamander then crashed into most of the town, but the three mages were going straight after him. He finally got up from the wreckage to see them
Still watching the battle below on the beach, Lucy was watching what was going on in the battle so far with Lisanna, Kyuri, and Sting. She was curious about Sting's magic; he was the most interesting of three.
"Your friend Sting, he seems to be attacking with Light magic." She said.
"Not just that Lucy, his dragon lungs inhale light, dragon claws to emit light, and dragon scales to engrave the light around him… That's an ancient spell that transforms your body into that of a dragon. In other words, it's counter spell." Lector informed her.
"What is that?" she asked again curiously.
"Originally it was a dragon interception spell." Happy added.
"Oh my…" Lucy gasped as Bora was ready to launch another attack at the three mage. Anger boiled inside him, not wanting to lose to these children.
"Hell Prominence!" Bora announced, rising back to the air and summons another red magic which build up purple energy in front of it. Suddenly, a powerful, large, long and destructive beam-like laser was fired from the magic and hit the three as its power destroyed most of the town in its path. But the three Fairy Tail mages stood their ground from the attack, completely unharmed from the attack as Lector finished his explanation to Lucy.
"Dragon Slayer magic, Weissiogia taught him that."
"Damn you!" roared the blue haired mage, conjuring a large sphere of fire in his stretched up hands then hurls it at Lisanna, Sting, and Kyuri. But there was no time to see its effect as Lisanna grabbed the large fire sphere. The ground started too spilt below her as she started to eat the whole thing, rendering the attack pointless. With smoke and light of the after flames around her, the white haired Takeover mage remarked to the mage, "That's was a pretty good meal."
"Now it's time we turn you in cooked meat!" Sting added his blue eyes flashing in anger making the fake Salamander terrified at the two mages.
"No please, have mercy!" he pleaded to the two mages, but it was too late as Lisanna and Sting joined hands. Flames wrapped Lisanna's left hand and white light wrapped Sting's right. They leaped foreword to Bora on the roof but before twirling in the air.
"Phoenix Fire Talons/White Dragon Holy Punch!" they exclaimed, their element wrapped fists striking Bora with multiple blows with their fists. With one final blow, the fake Salamander was sent crashing into building after building not before finally ending his air travel by hitting the bell tower. With smiles on their faces as the returned to Kyuri and released each other's hands, Lisanna reverted to her regular self within a gold light and look to Sting. They kept their smiles to one another and high fived.
After the fight was finished, the three watched the finisher with amazement as Lector commented, "I thought you can't cook meat with light, but never mind."
"It's amazing, really amazing." Lucy said astonished at the three but added with a yell, "But they really overdid it!"
During the battle with Bora, Lisanna, Sting, and even Kyuri made some massive destruction to the town trying their best to defeat Bora. Burning buildings and wreaked property were the aftermath of the fight. Of course, there was the damage to Bora's yacht even though it was a slave trade ship. In short, while they won, it was overboard.
Suddenly, a large group of yellow and blue cladded knights with traditional shields and spears were marching their way to the group. Sting looked terrified seeing them.
"Crap, it's the army; we need to get out of here!" Sting ordered the girls, grabbing Lucy's wrist and running away with her along with Lisanna and Kyuri following too. Happy and Lector took off into the air while the army was marching their way.
"Wait, why me?!" she demanded to the three.
"Well you said you wanna join Fairy Tail, right?" Sting asked before he and Lisanna look to her with big smile on their faces.
"So let's go!" they added in unison.
Lucy's expression of panic change to excitement as Sting let go of her hand as she ran along with them.
"Alright!" she cheered as the group of Sting, Lisanna, Lucy, Kyuri, Happy, and Lector ran from the army and return to Fairy Tail.
Michael: That ends the first episode of A Different Fairy Tail. I did say some changes not much, but I feel this was much better than the first chapter of Re Deluxe. I might go a fix that chapter too. So now you are introduced to one of the OCs I was submitted, thank xXxMusicNCookiesxXx for that one. Now her magic isn't like Gray's or other molding magic users, as she is only limited to either use the ice that already there or turn something into ice to use it. So her magic is only limited, not unlimited. Now Phoenix Soul you see in this story is the complete version of the one in Re Deluxe, but later in the Phantom Lord arc something from my other Takeover Angel Soul she uses in battle. I won't give you spoilers, but it will help with a Dragon Slayer she will fight before the Gajeel fight. Now then, if you may have noticed, Sting and Lisanna share most of Natsu's quirks, but are going to be his anti-sometimes. You'll see in the next chapter and the start of the Daybreak arc.
Now then, just because I can't stress this enough, there will not be Sticy, Gary Stu/Mary Sue characters (Canon or Original), skipped or rushed fights/events/interactions, and there will be a complete Grand Magic Games not a half assed one some people seem to praise in certain people's Fanfiction… won't say names.
Now then, the team of Team Strauss (spoilers to future Characters):
Lisanna/Sting (leaders), Lucy, Gray, Erza, Kyuri, Natsu (post Edolas arc), Cyan, Luke, Byakko, Happy, Wendy, Carla, Chisame, Roxie, and Lector
Allies and recurring members of Team Strauss: Gajeel, Juvia, Panther Lily, Yukino, Levy (next arc), Cana, Mirajane, Elfman, Frosch, Rogue, Ur, Ryuu
So looking for one more members and looking for two good Dragon Slayers to take over the Saber Tooth/Fairy Tail storyline because I am not going to force someone else into it or do the fall for the bad guy cliché. Because Ultear and Jellal aren't really bad guys, they slide, but others... You wonder why I try to not get all dense romance or too racy for T rating stuff either. This isn't going to be that story, so if any Sticy fans are get all in arms, then to every other bad Lucy ship… Don't screw with her or even Lisanna.
Now there will be an original Lucy ship, but it's one that hasn't been done much or lack of it at all. It won't be the dense kinda thing, but Mira will see it better than others.
That's really it, so here's the next chapter:
Episode 2: Tigress, Dragon, Monkey, and Bull
See you for the next chapter. Bye-Bye!
#1 in short, anyone good that's not Lisanna, Lucy, or even Levy. If people can actually make the ship work, then we'll see how I feel about it.
#2 first time using honorifics. Want me to keep at it or drop it?
#3 spoilers to one of recent chapters. Poor other Lucy, not the best way to go
