Chapter Two

The girls trudged in the stormy rain (thanks to Juvia) with sacks on their backs, out of Magnolia. Before stepping onto the train station, they took one last look at the town, and caught the flag of Fairy Tail waving around, being tossed around by the gusty winds. They immediately looked at something else, as the train sloshed into the station. Lisanna led the way in, and claimed five seats for her and the girls. Levy sat in between Wendy and Juvia, while Lisanna and Lucy sat in front of them. What had happened earlier that day continued to play in their minds.

Ever so recently, the guild members started to flock around Lisanna who recently just "came back from the dead." Lucy had resigned from Team Natsu, wanting Lisanna to feel welcome, but she denied the spot, and thus Team Natsu became a trio—or a quartet if you include Happy. Levy too, resigned from Team Shadowgear. Jet and Droy filed a partnership. Finally, Lisanna, Juvia, Wendy, Levy and Lucy joined together to form a group. They didn't have any team name, so they stuck with the name Team Fairy Tail, and thus was the beginning of a great team and friendship. Lisanna and Lucy became especially close, while Juvia started to warm up to the other girls, and didn't think of the other four girls as "Love-Rivals." They went on missions together, and only with Team Fairy Tail. The other guild members were annoyed with the fact that Lisanna didn't want to spend time with them, saying that she shouldn't be here if she wasn't going to hang out with the other members, even though, they take up all of her free time when she was in the guild. She understood that the rest of Team Fairy Tail didn't want to face the wrath of Natsu and the others, so she devoted all of her missions with her team.

Weeks passed, and soon the Grand Magic Games came and passed, leaving Fairy Tail once again the number one guild in Fiore—but just barely. A few of the girls in Team Fairy Tail lost all of the matches they fought—one of them being Lucy—while Juvia buzzed around Gray. In one of Wendy's matches, it was a draw, keeping Fairy Tail in second place, while Sabertooth remained in first place. Levy couldn't do anything much, sometimes her Script magic and large knowledge wasn't enough to cut it. Lisanna was probably the only one in the team, who gained major points. But then, it began.

A month passed from the Grand Magic Games, and soon Team Fairy Tail was starting to be mistreated. Every so often, harsh comments were made towards the five girls. Soon, it became physical, a smack to the face, and a kick to the stomach. Master wasn't aware, for no one spoke up. And finally, the damage was done, when Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel took away the girl's marks and sent them away.

"Guys?" Four girls looked up to look at Wendy, whose eyes were red with dried tears cracking her cheeks. "Where are we going to go? Another guild?" Lisanna spoke up.

"We don't know, but I think it's best if we at least find some place to settle before joining a guild." Wendy nodded before sitting back in her chair.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye to Charlie."

Two flying Exceeds were making their way back to the guild in the stormy weather. "I wonder what brought on the rain, must be Juvia." Yes Happy, how right you are. Happy and Charlie were coming back from a mission which lasted for a day. When Happy and Charlie opened the doors, they were greeted by a large party, many people were drunk and some were passed out hunched over tables and hanging from chairs. Three people were seated at a far table, laughing loudly with mugs of beer slammed down on the wooden table. Natsu, Gray and Gajeel. Happy rushed to the group with Charlie trailing behind, scoffing in disgust at the party. "Natsu!"

"Oh, hey Happy!"

"What's going on? Is there fish?"

"Yeah there's fish, go ask Mira, and we're partying for the departure of a few people!"

Happy looked around, noticing that a certain group of people weren't there. Fear started to freeze his heart, as he turned back to his foster parent. "Natsu…" he started, not wanting to confirm his fears. "Who went missing?"

"Team Fairy Tail! Wendy, Lisanna, Juvia, Levy and Lucy!"

Five tears started to dot his cheeks, one for each missing girl. Charlie gasped when she heard the names. "And why?"

"They didn't belong here, neither do you Charlie! We want to live to Fairy Tail's original name and image. They didn't fit in with the picture," Gray answered. Natsu and Gajeel nodded their heads. Happy and Charlie had a hard time, keeping in the tears, but they couldn't help it. Charlie lunged at the three, only to be smacked down by Gajeel.

"Wendy was a waste of our time, c'mon Happy, let's go get some food." Natsu and the others stood up and started making their way to the bar, while Charlie held a paw to her face, trying to soothe the stinging sensation.

"No."

The three mages stopped walking and turned around. Happy was assisting Charlie, who for once, let him. "We're leaving for today, and Natsu, you won't see me at home tonight." Though his speech was short and "un-meaningful", his to-be actions said enough. Happy didn't agree with Fairy Tail's actions.

"Are you okay Charlie?"

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you."

"Do you want some fish?"

"…Yes please."

Team Fairy Tail stepped off of the train in some unknown town. It was a small town; about 50 residents were living there, not including those who were at the train station. "Well," Levy said, "Welcome to the town of Haden. This place is mostly known for its making of the best toffee ever made. But not people stay to live here because of Haden's lack of supplies. There are many vacant buildings here, I'm sure we can get a place to stay. Excuse me?" Levy turned to a worker passing by. "Do you know where the realtors are?" The worker gave the directions, and soon, Levy was leading the way. People were giving them odd glances.

Aren't they mages of Fairy Tail?

That's Wendy…Sky Dragon Slayer!
I wonder if Lucy has all of the Zodiac Keys.

"Let's get used to living here. It's better than Magnolia."

After a few hours, the five girls were heading to 255 Orange Peak Lane with a key in their hands, where a new building stood. They entered the building and walked up the few flights of stairs before entering the vacant apartment. It was large enough for the five of them, with one large bedroom with the bed frames and mattresses already set up, and a few other rooms used for the people's leisure. The girls claimed their own bed and started unpacking their satchels. "You know," Lucy suddenly spoke, "There's a small guild down the street from here, Angel's Song, they're not a major guild, but their definitely not a dark guild. That worker Levy, the one that you spoke to, was a member; he had a mark on his ankle."

"Should we go check it out?"

Lucy nodded, "After we establish our home first. Then we can go check out the guild."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Juvia questioned, "Let's go!"

Of course, all they could get was food and a few chairs, because as Levy said before, Haden wasn't buzzing with people all because of the shortage of supplies. "I guess that's the best we can do," Lisanna said as she set down two chairs. "Let's go check out that guild." Delight and excitement danced across the girl's faces as the five of them, grabbed their shoes and dashed out of the building. Surely enough, they saw a large building (larger than the apartment complex's on the street) at the corner of the street, creating a large shadow on the road. They soon approached the large double doors separating "Are you ready?"

They all nodded, each one of them placing a hand on the doors, and pushed it open.

All heads turned to the five people who entered the guild. "Fairy Tail mages?"

A sad smile crossed their faces. "Not any more. "

Someone from the room yelled out, "What happened?"

"Nothing good."

"Who goes there?" a voice boomed out.

"Fairy Tail mages Master!" The five girls looked up from the sea of mages towards who seemed to be the Master. Surprisingly, it was a girl, not much older than the former Fairy Tail members. She stepped out from the shadows, on bare feet. Straight blond hair cascaded down her back as pale gray eyes sharply gazed over the five girls.

"Fairy Tail huh? Come, I would like to have a word with you." The Master of the guild led the five girls to a room in the back of the guild which seemed to be the Master's office. "Sit." Suddenly, five chairs appeared before the great oak desk while another spun to accommodate the girl. "Now, why are you here?"

Juvia spoke up, "We come here to check out the guilds around the area. We were wondering if it was possible if we could join."

"And why would you want to join us? This small guild that no one has ever heard about? Why not stick to Fairy Tail or another major guild?"

Lucy rubbed her right hand, where her hand was blank of any mark. "We weren't wanted in Fairy Tail, it seemed that if we stayed there any longer, they could potentially permanently harm us. Our former Master wasn't there to witness what happened."

"Why not wait until the Master of Fairy Tail was back? Why come here to Haden?"

"Well we weren't intending to come to this town," Lisanna said. "And if we waited to get our marks back, we would be attempting suicide, just by staying there. The entirety of the guild wanted us gone, so it wouldn't make sense that, if we weren't accepted in the guild, we would once again join." The Master nodded.

"I see, well girls? Do you want to join this guild, Angel's Song? I can assure you that nothing that happened in Fairy Tail will happen here." The five girls looked at each other, before nodding.

"Where would you like your stamp?" Each one pointed to the spots where their old guild mark once shone proud. The girl nodded, before stamping everyone. Surprisingly the guild marks changed colors, Lisanna's turning silver, Wendy's white; Juvia's a sapphire blue, Levy's orange, and Lucy's gold. "My name is Rosa; do call me by my name or 'Master.' Welcome to Angel's Song, where the Angels of Magic fly high."
