Natsuki and the gang met up with Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale next to the wrecked Christina Airship

"Meh!" Ichiya yelled "Nirvana has been stopped."

"Well, thanks to Fairy Tail, Cait Shelter, and Cobra." Sherry commented.

"Well, you guys did blast the city with Christina" Lucy said.

"True..." Hibiki muttered. "I guess we all stopped it together, huh?."

"Well, I'm gonna take a nap on that rock there." Gray said. He was about to take another step when he was stopped by a barrier made of enchantments.

"What the hell?" He muttered

A man came with a group of rune knights behind him.

"Who the hell are you guys!?" Lyon yelled.

"I am Lahar, a captain of the Magic Council Warfare unit. We mean you no harm."

"Woah! The Magic Council?" Lucy exclaimed. "Didn't take them very long, huh?"

"You could say that again." Ren muttered.

"Your parfum certainly is hostile... " Ichiya commented. "So what brings you here, my fine lads?"

"We have come to arrest the Oracion Seis and Jellal." Lahar explained.

Everyone was silent.

"What...?" Natsuki muttered

"Cobra! Jellal! You are to surrender immediately!"

Jellal and Cobra raised their hands, walking towards Lahar.

"Cobra of Oracion Seis, Jellal Fernandez, you are both under arrest for crimes against the kingdom. Do you have any parting words?" Jellal shook his head. Cobra stepped forward, pointing his head down.

"Well, thanks for helping me out, guys." He smirked. "Better to be in prison than being tortured by Brain, I guess."

'He's so hot when he smirks...' Lucy thought.

"I heard that, Lucy." He smirked.

Lucy blushed.

Cobra looked at the night sky.

"Well, I think that's about it. You can take it from here, Lahar." Lahar nodded his head.

"You'll be getting at least a life sentence, Jellal. That's if you're lucky."

Lucy gasped. "No way..."

"As for you, Cobra..." Lahar sighed. "We'll have to see."

Cobra's eyes widened, realizing what he just said. Was Lahar seriously doing this!? This is wrong! But if he pointed it out, the Rune Knights would attack him.

He was relieved when Erza's eyes widened as well.

'What!? Is the new Magic Council this corrupt!?' She thought.

Cobra and Jellal were about to enter the vehicle which would escort them to Era. Jellal was taken away by the magic mobile. Cobra was about to step into his.

"Stop!" Erza yelled. Everyone froze.

"What? What is the meaning of this?" Lahar asked.

"I admit, you do have the right to arrest Jellal..." she sighed. "But you can't say the same for Cobra!" Erza was infuriated.

"Explain yourself!" Lahar said, starting to sweat in frustration.

Erza cleared her throat. "Penal Code 140 clearly states that a person is not allowed to be arrested unless his sentence his specified clearly!"

Lahar's eyes widened. 'How did she know!?'

"I'll take it from here, Erza." Cobra muttered.

"You see, 'Magic Council Captain', you might wanna know your law before you go arresting people. My freedom was confirmed the second you mentioned how my sentence wasn't decided yet. Penal Code 140 is a pretty important one, you know? I'm allowed to do anything I want until the Magic Council decides my sentence, and the Magic Council hasn't decided my sentence yet since you said 'We'll have to see.' Thank you, and good day. Next time, you should probably think before you act, okay ponytail?"

Lahar sighed, then shook his head. "Just do go running into trouble."

"Will do, 'Captain Lahar of the Magic Council'" Cobra muttered. "What a joke..."


It was dawn. All the guild member's had returned to their respective guild halls, except Wendy and Carla. So everyone was heading to the Fairy Tail guild now. Wendy's guild was apparently all fake and filled with illusions, so Wendy had to join to join Fairy Tail, along with Carla. They were all in a gigantic magic mobile.

Natsu let his head feel the fresh wind, since this was the first time he could actually experience the breeze. Gray was sleeping. Happy and Carla were talking about the Cait Shelter guild. Lucy was making contracts with her new spirits Angel used to own. Wendy was pretending to sleep. And Erza was driving the huge vehicle. Cobra was just there, watching it all happen. He was really glad the Oracion Seis was gone. He was looking forward to living a free life. Then he remembered the reason he saved Natsuki in the first place.

"Hey Natsu. You got a minute?" Cobra asked.

"Sure!" she said, letting her head rest outside the window "Thanks for that motion sickness pill thing! It's awesome!"

"Yeah, yeah, no problem. But I need you to answer my questions. I should probably wake up Wendy too..." Cobra muttered.

"Don't wake her up! She's had a long day yesterday!" Natsu said.

"Relax, flame brain. She's not sleeping anyways, just sitting there."

Cobra grabbed Wendy, and Wendy came to sit with the two. The three dragon slayers made a triangle.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Wendy asked.

"Well first of all, what are your dragon's names?" Cobra asked. "My mom is Venomica the Poison Dragon."

"My dad is Igneel the Fire Dragon."

"And my mom is Grandine the Sky Dragon."

"I see..." Cobra muttered. "So what happened on July 7th of 777?"

"Igneel left me." Natsu said sadly.

"Yeah, Grandine just vanished out of nowhere." Wendy muttered.

"Yeah, Venomica left too..." Cobra said.

"Okay, I think that's all I got for you two. I'll asked Gajeel once I visit the guild hall, even though I'm probably gonna get the same answers as what you guys told me. Anyway, thanks ladies." He said, smiling.

"Wait... what do you mean by visit?" Natsu asked.

"What... do you mean...? I'm gonna visit the guild hall to talk to Gajeel. Is there something wrong with that?" Cobra asked.

"No, not that... it's just... I automatically assumed you were gonna join the guild, that's all."

Cobra froze. She was being serious. Her thoughts said the same thing. "I-I never thought of joining the Fairy Tail guild..."

"You'd fit right in, Cobra." Lucy said, putting her keys I her pouch. "You could join our team too."

"Don't get any ideas, poison pest." Gray muttered.

"Gray!" Lucy scolded.

"Gray! Seriously!" Natsuki yelled. "Why are you so against Cobra in everything!?"

"It's not like that..." Gray muttered. "It's just... I don't trust him completely... I'm sorry if I offended you..."

"Nah, you're good. Just don't go trying to stab me in the middle of the night." Cobra smirked.

"Well, I can't promise that." Gray chuckled.

"So are you joining the guild then?" Lucy asked.

"Y-you guys would actually let me...?" Cobra asked.

"Of course! We are friends!" Natsuki smiled.

"Thanks guys..." he muttered.

"So, you're joining Fairy Tail?" Erza asked driving.

Cobra walked to the front of the huge magic mobile.

"If it's fine with you guys and the Master, then yeah."

Erza smiled. "Well then, welcome to Fairy Tail. We're happy to h-have you."

"Thanks Erza." Cobra replied. "Hey, thanks for saving my butt last night with Lahar."

"You're welcome."

Cobra watched the red haired wizard drive the magic mobile, but then he noticed something.

"You should probably take a break. You've been driving this thing ever since we woke up."

"It's okay, C-Cobra." Erza replied.

"No seriously. You're magic power is dangerously low."

"I'm f-fine, Cobra. P-please..."

Cobra shook his head. "You're literally stuttering of exhaustion." Cobra removed the SE plug from Erza's arm and put it on his own.

Erza tried to get it back from him, but then lost balance due to exhaustion and fell on Cobra's side.

Cobra shook his head. "Let me help you out." Cobra smiled.

"Let m-me drive. I'm just a bit t-tired, that's all." Erza muttered.

"A bit tired?" Cobra smirked. He grabbed Erza laid her on the couch next to her.

"Just think of the directions, alright?" driving the magic mobile.

Erza nodded. "T-Thank you, Cobra."

Cobra was impressed by the city's layout. It was very well organized. 'Three rights and four lefts.' Erza thought.

"You still haven't recognized me, huh?" Cobra smirked.

"Have I s-seen y-you?" Erza asked.

"Don't talk." He said softly. "Just say it in your head."

'Have we met before, Cobra?'

"Yes we have, Titania. In the Tower."

'No, I don't remember you...'

"Does this ring a bell? ERZA, SIMON, YOUR EVENING CAKES ARE READY!"

Erza froze, her eyes widening. "E-Erik...!?" she stuttered, not out of exhaustion but out of shock

"Yup." He said, smiling.

Erza started laughing, and Cobra smirked.

"I'm not the only one who changed, you know. You were super sassy back then. Now you're like Shakespeare's child or something."

"Well, that may be true. Do you still cook?"

"Yeah. I was forced to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the Seis.

The two talked about their childhood for a few hours. Everyone in the back was taking a nap, except for Natsu, who was still sticking her head out of the window.

"Oh, so that's why you and Jellal were so... you know..."

Erza's cheeks turned almost as red as her hair.

"W-What do you mean!?" Erza started sweating "We're-uhh-friends! Yeah friends! Nothing else!"

"You don't need to hide anything." Cobra stated. "Well, you can't hide, so..."

Erza shook her head. "You and those damned ears..." She muttered

"Well, I guess it's nice talking to a familiar face." Cobra said, giving a small smile.

Erza laughed. "Yes indeed."

Erza looked outside the window. "Just take two more lefts, and you should be there, Erik." She said, smiling.

"Don't call me that!" Cobra whispered.

Erza slightly raised her voice. "What did you say, Er-!?" Cobra put his hand over her mouth, and also her nose, making it hard for her to breathe.

'Okay! Okay! I give up! Let me breathe!' Erza pleaded.

Cobra smirked. "Next time it'll be poison, not my hand."

"Of course." Erza giggled to herself.

Cobra sighed. "Everyone's gonna attack me the second I walk in, aren't they?"

"Don't worry. They're not that chaotic." Erza said, still giggling.


It was already afternoon. It had been 2 hours since they arrived in Fairy Tail. The guild was surprisingly open to him. At first they were skeptical, but then they started being friendlier. He'd gotten his guild mark on his back, in a dark purple color. He'd talked to Gajeel, son of Metalicana, and got the exact same answer as Natsuki and Wendy. Everyone in the guild was in high spirits, except for Gajeel.

He was about to drink another shot, since alcohol was a type of poison, when Mira came up to him.

"Hi Cobra." Mira smiled.

"You're Mirajane right?"

"Yes I am."

"So what's up?"

"I was just wondering how you liked the guild so far."

"It's great! It has the coolest people ever!" He said, smiling.

"Aww, that's so sweet of you!" She said, giggling.

Cobra nodded. "Yeah. I'm just trying to get used to being here."

"I understand. Master wants you in his office."

"Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me."

"Anytime. And don't forget to meet everyone in the guild!"

"Of course." Cobra smiled.

Cobra walked up to the office of the guild master, Makarov. He hadn't really seen the master, yet. And for some reason, he couldn't hear his thoughts either. If he was someone like Brain, he was leaving this guild right away.

Cobra opened the door, dumbfounded to find Lahar's projection there as well.

"Cobra! Come have a seat!" The master greeted him.

"Greetings, Master Makarov." Cobra bowed.

"Ah, no need to be so formal, child. Either call me master or gramps."

"Thank you, master."

Cobra sat down. "So what brings you here, Captain?" Cobra mocked.

"Cobra, we were just discussing you." Lahar scowled. "Me and your master have come to an agreement about what to do with you."

"And that agreement is...?" Cobra asked.

"Child, you will be put on parole, with Natsuki Dragneel as your parole officer." Makarov stated.

"For at least 7 years." Lahar interrupted. "After that, we will review your performance in those 7 years and decide if we should extend your parole or grant you complete freedom."

"Okay..." Cobra said, thoughtfully. "So what's the difference between having a parole and being free?"

"If you are on parole, your parole officer takes a lot of responsibility for your actions, and she can also decide when to send you back to prison."

Cobra nodded.

"Okay. And also, why Natsu?"

"Well," Makarov said "You surrendered to Natsu after losing to him, according to Happy. We thought it would be easier to put someone who could subdue you so easily as your parole officer."

"What!? I surrendered!?"

Makarov winked at him.

"Oh yeah... I forgot I surrendered. She's just too powerful, you know?"

"Understood." Lahar stated. "Do you have any other concerns, Cobra?"

Cobra shook his head.

"Very well, then. I will part now."

Lahar's transmission shut down.

Master Makarov cleared his throat. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm Makarov, the master of this wretched bunch."

"I'm Erik." Cobra said, smiling. "A member of this wretched bunch. You can call me Cobra. Please don't call me Erik?"

"Very well then." Makarov chuckled. "Have a seat. I need to discuss some matters with you, regarding your role in the guild, even though Lahar explained most of it."

Master Makarov cleared his throat.

"I have heard all about your good deeds from Erza. In fact, almost everyone on Team Natsu looked at you as a friend. That is why I chose to put you on Team Natsu during your parole."

Cobra nodded.

"Tell me." Makarov's eyes narrowed. "Do you intend any harm to come to our guild, or it's members?"

"No, sir. I only wish to be here to make the best out of everyday of my life. I have no intentions on harming any member of Fairy Tail."

Makarov smiled at him. "Hearing that brings me great joy. And now the second thing, your parole officer."

Cobra was listening intently.

"I chose Natsuki as your parole officer because she asked to be your parole officer."

Cobra's eyes widened. "Seriously!?"

"Yes, I was surprised too. Naturally, I would've chosen Erza because of her skill and responsibility. But it seems Natsu requested to take responsibility herself. She said she needed to repay you."

Cobra nodded. That idiot... So does this mean I have to live with that pyro? And the talking cat? Knowing her, she's probably gonna wake me up every 5 minutes!

"And that is all I needed to tell you. Do you have any questions?

"None at all, master."

"Okay then, Cobra. I'll see you again if there's anything else you need, you can always come to my office." Master smiled.

"Okay."

"And thank you, Cobra, for joining Fairy Tail."


It was evening now. Cobra has slept for 3 hours because of the tiredness he felt after driving the magic mobile. He entered the guild hall again. Multiple voices entered his head.

'Oh look, the new member's awake.'

'Wow! Cobra's so cool! I wanna be like him and Natsu when I grow up.'

Team Natsu sat at a table, so he made his way there.

"Hi Cobra." Lucy smiled.

"Hey guys." Cobra sat down.

"I see you're getting bored already." Erza said.

"Kinda. All day has just been driving, drinking, and sleeping."

"Don't worry!" Natsu smiled. "We'll go find you a job soon. Today, we're just getting settled and stuff, you know?."

Cobra nodded.

"Did gramps tell you about everything?" Gray muttered.

"Yeah. He told me about my parole and who my parole officer is, which brings me to my next point. Natsu!"

"Yeah?" She asked.

"Why'd you wanna be my parole officer?"

"Well, because you're nice. And you saved my life twice." She blushed. "Nothing else, just cause you.. you know... helped me out."

So she wasn't lying to master?

"It's getting pretty late." Gray muttered. "We should probably head home."

"Sure." Lucy said. "See you guys tomorrow!"

"See y'all!" Natsuki yelled.


Natsuki and Cobra were walking to her place. Happy wasn't there because he was gonna give Carla a tour of Magnolia.

"So." Natsu smiled. "How's the guild so far?"

"Pretty cool." Cobra said. "Everyone's so high spirited."

"Yeah. I've been in the guild since I was a little kid."

"Cool." Cobra replied.

They walked in silence for most of the trip.

"Hey Cobra?" She asked

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for... joining us."

"Sure. I'm the one who wants to live my life with purpose."

"Yeah." She muttered.

They reached her home, and Natsu opened the door. It wasn't that big. It had a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.

"So this is my place." She smiled.

"Not too shabby. How much is rent?"

"Oh I built it myself, with Happy's help, of course."

"You bought the land?"

"I claimed it. No one buys land this far away."

"Except you." Cobra smirked.

"Except me." Natsu nodded.

Natsu entered the kitchen. "I'll cook dinner. You can check the place around if you want." She said.

"Do you need help, Natsu?" Cobra asked.

"No. I'm just trying to practice cooking myself."

"I've been cooking since I was 6, Natsu."

"Liar." She muttered.

"You can ask Erza. I'm not kidding."

Natsu shook her head in disbelief.

"So do you need help or no?" Cobra questioned.

"It's okay for today. But I expect you to cook dinner tomorrow." Natsuki smirked.

"No promises."


"Dinner's ready!" Natsu yelled.

Cobra walked into the kitchen. "You know you don't need to yell, right?"

"Yeah." She giggled. "But it kinda became a habit since Happy's usually always sleeping."

Cobra shook his head in disappointment. He sat at the dining table.

"Tell me how the fried rice tastes?" She said, watching the poison dragon take a bite.

Cobra's eyes widened.

"Is it bad...?" She said, frowning.

"Holy... crap...!" Cobra muttered.

"DID YOU JUST CALL MY COOKING CRAP!?"

"No, you idiot." Cobra looked at Natsuki. "It's actually really good."

"Oh... Thanks." She smiled.

"I mean it could use a pinch more salt, but other than that, it's awesome." Cobra smiled. "I think you've mastered the Art of Fried Rice."

"You really think so...?"

"Yeah." Cobra said. "It tastes nearly perfect. Well done."

"Well, uh, It's nothing really. You just pour the ingredients in the pan, shove 'em around, and wait for it to finish."

"That's why you should try something else." Cobra suggested. "Like noodles or fish. Try taking baby steps. Then you can start inventing your own dishes."

Natsu blushed, her cheeks turning tomato red. "Okay...thanks for the advice, Cobra."

"No problem." Cobra smiled.

It was around 11PM.

'Dammit. I forgot I only had one bed...' Natsuki thought.

"I'll sleep on the floor, Natsu." Cobra said.

"A-Are you sure...?" Natsu asked.

"Of course. I'm used to sleeping on stones, okay? So a carpet is like a heaven bed for me."

She thought for a minute. "No way! You're my guest, okay!? You get to sleep on the bed!"

Cobra sighed. "You know what?" He laid down on the floor. "I'm sleeping on the floor whether you like it or not. So you might as well use the bed." Cobra smirked.

"Thanks." Natsu muttered.

"Yeah, yeah." Cobra rolled his eyes.

Natsu turned off the lights and went back on the bed.

Natsu glanced at Cobra.

"Good night, Cobra." Natsu whispered.

"Good night, Natsu." Cobra replied smiling.

The night stars were shining brightly outside the window. He was shocked. One day he's in a dark guild, the next day a light guild. This was his life now.

He heard Natsu's dreams. That's when he realized something! How the hell was he going to sleep!?

Hey! Sorry, i tried to fit in Daphne's arc, but i realized this chapter should deal more with Cobra's relations to each guild member. Next Chapter is Daphne Dragonoid Arc! Please leave comments :''( LOL. Anyways, hope you're liking the series so far!
