Hey Guys!

I'm so glad that you are interested enough in this to read the next chapter...

Before I get too distracted, I don't own Fairy Tail!

But, anyway, I've set it upon myself to, every author's note, tell you something about my writing, and that sort of thing.

Okay!

Today, I will tell you my fanfiction playlist.

Snow Fairy. Just Snow Fairy. Lots and lots of Snow Fairy.
I just remember all the fantastic times I had with this anime when I listen to it, and it inspires me.

Also, as for number of chapters planned for this fanfiction, I have no idea
Aren't I organised?

And, before you ask, Desierto is a realm in Earthland. Read the chapter, and you will know what I'm talking about.

Chapter 2

When they finally arrived at Oshibana, Natsu ran as fast as he could in particular direction, in order to get off the train. Lucy sighed. Some things will never change.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted, clearly annoyed at his cross-country run. After all the other members of the team got off the train, they eventually caught up to the pink-haired mage, and then, after a lot of confusion, managed to find their client's house. It was tucked away in the city, on a nameless street where all the houses looked the same and were cramped together. Inside, it was as plain and bland as the outside. The owner clearly wasn't investing in any interior design. But it didn't really matter, because, referring to the reward, the client had a lot of money to throw around.

When they entered the dining area, they sat down at the table, while their escort, a plump middle-aged man went upstairs. A minute later, a young woman with long blonde hair came down, and sat across from them.

"I guess you know why I sent the request to Fairy Tail," she stated.

"Yes. You want us to exterminate some magical beings." replied Erza politely.

Smiling, the blonde answered, "That is correct. The specifics of the creatures are they always attack at night, they destroy anything with food in it and the contents, and they are described to have yellow fur and blood red eyes, a whip-thin tail and a strong build to them. They sleep during the day in a den, and always stick together when hunting."

Erza frowned and thought for a moment, "Are there any more details that could help us?"

"Well, I've heard they were created by some illegal experimentation on a lion."

Gray questioned, "What's a lion?"

"I'm not completely sure. Apparently, it's a rare non-magical creature found in Desierto."

Lucy had never heard of a lion, but Desierto was familiar to her. It was the over-abundance of geography lessons piled upon her by her rich father that had taught her that. She guessed it eventually had use. The rest of the team seemed informed of it too.

"So, what is your plan for us to exterminate them?" Erza asked, intrigued.

"We are going to lure the creatures into an abandoned warehouse with a lot of food. When they are devouring it, ambush them and knock them out. Then, we're going to transport them to the Magic Council, and they will decide to do with them then."

Erza and Lucy nodded. It sounded like a good plan.

"Is this happening tonight?" Lucy asked.

"Yes."

Natsu groaned, "I have to wait until tonight until I get to bash monsters!"

The girl looked at him curiously, "Follow me to the warehouse."

The blonde got up and walked out the door, and the team followed. After maneuvering through the streets, the houses got less and less densely packed, until they were warehouses separated by dozens of meters. The team noticed houses that were destroyed in a violet matter, which got more and more common the closer they got to the forest. At last they arrived at a rickety-looking building.

"I have told the villagers to meet here with food at sunset. Hopefully, they will come, and altogether, we will have enough food. If we have any morsels leftover, we're going to give it out evenly to the people who gave some for the trap," the girl explained.

"What's your name?" asked Wendy.

"Hmm?"

"Well, I thought, for the sake of being polite, you might as well tell us your name."

"Kim," she smiled.

Kim guided them inside the construction. It was a typical old warehouse, with no machinery whatsoever. It had a huge, airy feeling to it, and was perfect for a trap. There were many places to hide, the rafters, behind columns, outside open windows. There were lots of columns, though, so the food could not be in one giant pile, but multiple, smaller piles. Overall, it was a good choice.

"What now?" Lucy queried.

"We wait until nightfall." responded Kim.

At sunset, people started to arrive at the storehouse, food was being piled up. When the all villagers had deposited their food, Team Natsu was distributed to multiple hiding places, and Kim, the mayor and some of the villagers hid outside, waiting for the monsters to attack. Natsu and Wendy were hiding up in the rafters with Happy and Carla, Erza was outside a window, and Lucy and Gray were hiding behind columns. They were to attack at Erza's signal, given to her by , the team were prepared to attack. Lucy had her keys out, Erza had her sword, Natsu and Wendy had their exceeds on their backs, ready to fly them down, and Gray had already taken off his shirt.

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the warehouse, making the team go rigid with anxiety. Then, ten disgusting monsters ran up to the food, and started to tear at the food ravenously. They were almost exactly as Kim had described, long, sleek with yellow fur, blood red eyes and a thin tail. Their teeth were huge, so much they were sticking out of their mouths, and their claws were giant. They seemed disproportionate for four-legged creatures, their legs were very long and their tails quite short. Erza glanced at where Kim and the others were hiding, and she was nodding vigorously. Bracing herself, Erza gave the signal, and they attacked.

Leia sat back in her chair, annoyed and angry. She hadn't contributed to the monster ambush, she hadn't even given food to it's cause. It was a stupid idea. Why waste food when many more suitable options can be put into motion? Just attack them in their den. Kim and the mayor were taking unnecessary risks, as well, the members of the guild were in danger, too. She had seen the monsters, and surely a net would be much safer then an ambush.

Rufus walked by, as he was visiting her house, and noticed her disgruntled expression, "Are you still angry about the ambush? Some things just can't be changed. The mayor does what the mayor does."

Leia's expression darkened, "What if I don't like what the mayor does?"

"Then deal with it. It's not like it's the end of the world."

"I could take on those monsters easily. They didn't have to bring a guild into this. Anyway, what guild are they in?"

"Fairy Tail, I'm pretty sure."

"...Fairy Tail... It sounds familiar."

"They were in the newspaper last week, an article about them winning the Grand Magic Games."

"Ah, yes. I heard they were the worst guild in Fiore, but then some members returned who were presumed dead."

"Really?"

"Yep."

Then, out of nowhere, there was an ear-bleeding crash.

Team Natsu had only just escaped the warehouse collapsing. Their fight with the monsters had weakened the already old structure, and Kim had only just noticed the signs of collapse before it occurred.

"Ow..." groaned Lucy, who had, in her frantic dash to escape, face-planted into the ground. The other members were also lying on the ground, groaning and rubbing their wounds.

"I'm so sorry!" shouted Kim, running up to them, "I should've known not to stage an attack in a rickety old storehouse."

Sitting up, Erza replied, "It's okay. At least no-one got hurt. You did all you could to prevent us from getting hurt."

After clarifying everyone was okay, she stared worriedly at the remains of the building, "No creature, magical or not, could've survived that."

"Lucky we got out on time then," sighed Lucy, making sure all her limbs were intact.

Kim smiled warmly, "Lucky indeed."

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 2! Last time was all fluff, but I finally got some action down here!

It's still a bit short (Sorry!), but hopefully you are satisfied.

Leia's character is getting a little fleshed out now!

I'll probably hide some fluff in the next chapter, so watch out!
