Here comes the first chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed the prologue. Please enjoy this chapter too!
Natsu and Wendy then arrived near the request board. Both of them are accompanied by their "cats", Happy and Charle.
"Here it is, looks like we are the first ones to accept this request!" Natsu grabbed the request.
"What kind of quest is that?" Wendy was curious.
"This? This one is really interesting, see?" Natsu handed the request to Wendy.
Wendy couldn't believe it, she never thought that there was such request."I-is this really a request from the first floor?" Wendy was shocked.
"Who knows? I found it on the first floor's request board all right. Interesting right? We might be able to find Igneel and Grandine's whereabouts, and Metalicana's too." Natsu said happily.
The quest's main description was: "Dragon Slayers needed! Defeat the rampaging Dragon!" The reward was not written.
"I'll go ask Mira-san about this." Wendy approached Mirajane, asking whether the quest was an S-Rank quest or not.
However, Mirajane did not know what Wendy was talking about." What do you mean Mira-san?" Wendy was confused.
"Umm, I do not see you holding any request." Mirajane tried to look at what Wendy was grabbing, but she couldn't see anything.
Wendy was shocked even more. She then asked some guild members, only to receive the same responds as well. Wendy then decided to return to Natsu. "So, how was it, Wendy?" Natsu was excited. Wendy was silent for a little while, then she told Natsu what just happened.
"Really? No one can see the request?" Said Natsu loudly. No one was bothered with him though, because he often caused commotions. Besides, the guild was noisier than usual. Due to Makarov's decision earlier.
Wendy nodded. Happy, then reacts to Wendy's statement. "Maybe only Dragon Slayers can see the request."
"That's the most possible conclusion." Charle nodded her head while crossing her arm.
Natsu then looked around the guild, turning his head left and right, searching for someone.
"What are you doing, Natsu-san?" Wendy wondered what was Natsu doing.
"Searching for Gajeel, he is a dragon slayer too, right?" Said Natsu while looking for Gajeel.
"I saw Gajeel leaving the guild while you are looking at the request just now." Said Happy with his usual expression.
Natsu did not speak anything for a moment….."WHAAAAAAAT?" Natsu then shouted.
"I guess we'll just have to take this quest by ourselves!"Grinned Natsu.
"But Natsu-san, Isn't the job too dangerous for our team? I mean, it is better if we have some help, right?" Worried Wendy.
"Don't worry! I'll handle any opponent they throw at me!" Natsu was burning with passion.
"I think that some help will be better too." Charle ignored Natsu's reaction.
"Fine! Then I'll go find some help!, you guys wait here!" Natsu then ran off.
At the other part of the guild, Gray Fullbuster are sitting on a chair, relaxing. Unlike usual, He was fully clothed, and he wore a white coat. The other members seemed to be somewhere else. Gray was drinking a drink he ordered, until Natsu ran toward him. "Graaaaaay!" Shouted Natsu.
Gray spitted the drink he was drinking due to the shock Natsu gave him. Calling for someone on a very loud voice while someone was relaxing will certainly give a shock to that someone.
Natsu was just beside Gray after he called for him."What's the matter with you!" Shouted Gray toward Natsu.
"I have something important to tell you!" Natsu shouted back, before he took Gray to Wendy and the 2 Exceeds' location.
"So, you are saying that there is a request that only Dragon Slayers can see?" Gray heard Natsu and Wendy's explanation.
"Yeah, can you see the request?" Asked Natsu.
"Where?" Gray looked confused.
"Here, I'm holding it." Natsu then stretched his arm near Gray's face.
"No, I couldn't see it." Gray then removed Natsu's hand from his face.
"Without a doubt then, only Dragon Slayers can see the request." Wendy came to the conclusion.
Meanwhile…..
"Juvia-san! Juvia-san!" Shouted Levy while shaking Juvia.
"W-what's wrong? Juvia came to her senses.
"You suddenly stopped walking while we were on our way to our team. Your face was red too. Are you sick?" Levy showed Juvia some concern.
"J-Juvia is fine, let's go to Gray-sama's place." Juvia blushed.
It's obvious, but Juvia has been daydreaming romantic moments between her and Gray since they were announced to be on the same team….
Back to Natsu and company….
"So? How about it? Want to help us for a while?" Asked Natsu cheerfully.
Gray thought for a while, but then he agreed to help them.
"Thank you very much, Gray-san" Wendy thanked Gray politely.
"Don't worry about it, I just don't want to be accused for not helping my nakamas when they need help." Said Gray.
"All Right!, Now let's go!" Natsu punched the air and stepped forward.
Gray grabbed Natsu's scarf, stopping Natsu's movement."Wait a minute, do you even know where we should go?"
"Gagah…Guh….!" Natsu was having trouble breathing because his scarf was being pulled.
"S-stop that Gray-san, or Natsu-san will…!" Wendy was worried about Natsu.
"Don't worry he won't fall that easily." Gray released his hand from Natsu's scarf.
Natsu was coughing for a little while, before he said: "True, where should we go?".
"Why don't you look at the request for more details?" Happy solved the problem.
The were indeed additional information on the request, the information was written in small words: "In Dragon Land (North Of Fairy Tail)"
"North Of Fairy Tail? It looks like that the request is specially made for Fairy Tail…" Stated Wendy.
Natsu glanced at the request once again."Dragon Land? Maybe Igneel and the others are there!" Natsu saw a light of hope.
"Now that the target location is known, let's go and get this over with." Gray prepares to go outside.
"Wait, where's Reedus?" Wendy remembered that Reedus is a part of Natsu's team.
"That's right, I haven't saw him today." Natsu also remembered.
"Reedus? He didn't come to the guild today, looks like that he was sick or something." Gray told Natsu and Wendy.
"What? He's absent?" Natsu didn't expect this coming.
"He's one of your team right? And you don't even know that? Pathetic…" Gray made fun of Natsu.
"Shut up! I don't want being called pathetic by a stripping guy!" Natsu was enraged….
"Stripping? I'm fully clothed now!" Gray talked back.
"Um, Gray-san, I don't think that you're fully clothed right now…" Wendy closed her eyes…..
"What the-since when? Damn….." Gray just realized that he didn't wear any shirt…..
Charle sighed, before he told Gray to put his coat back on, and…..
"Juvia wants to go with Gray-sama too!" Juvia suddenly emerged.
"Juvia, and Levy? When did you guys arrive here?" Questioned Natsu.
"We're here since Gray pulled Natsu's scarf." Levy answered it pretty quickly.
"Well, the more help, the better,right?" Said Wendy.
"Right! Now then, Let's go, toward Dragon Land!" Natsu prepares to lead the team.
"Aye!" Happy said his usual word.
The group then exited the guild and prepares to head north. Outside the guild, they met Reedus Jonah, who was about to enter the guild.
"Reedus? I thought you were sick!" Said Natsu.
"Um, I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks for the concern." Reedus replied.
"Do you want to come with us? We're in the same team you know, that's the old man's decision." Natsu explained.
"I'd like to, but I'm still sick, you see, although I felt a lot better now." Said Reedus.
"Fine then, have a lot of rest! Let's head north, team!" Natsu led the team, without Reedus.
After they arrived at the station,Natsu's and Gray's team then hopped on to the train. Although Natsu had some trouble with vehicles, like always, he endured the sickness, until they arrived on a town which was on the north of Fairy Tail, because there's no a destination called "Dragon Land".
They spent a night there on the inn. Gray asked the townspeople about Dragon Land (Juvia also tagged along). But, no one knows where Dragon Land is located. However, the townspeople told Gray and Juvia that there's a cave located in a nameless mountain near the town, although no one knows the exact location of it.
The next morning, Natsu's and Gray's team went to the mountain. They searched for the cave for 5 hours, without finding the cave…
"*sigh* Just where is this cave the townspeople told us about?" Levy grew tired of searching.
"No one knows the exact location of the cave." Gray stated.
"Come on, let's keep searching! I must find Igneel and the other dragons!" Natsu was still in good spirit.
"Juvia is exhausted….." Juvia sat on the ground.
"Me too, I can't walk anymore." Levy had also given up.
"Maybe we should take a rest for a while." Suggested Gray, before he sat on the ground.
"Whatever, I'm going to keep searching! Can you still proceed, Wendy?" Natsu showed some concern.
"Y-yes…." Stated Wendy, although she was really tired.
When the two Dragon Slayers walked deeper, they found a cave!
"Hey! Look everyone! We've found the cave!" Natsu called for everyone.
The others then went to where Natsu and Wendy gone.
"Let's go in!" Natsu charged in without thinking.
"That idiot…. Let's just follow him." Gray instructed the team.
The cave was quite vast, deep, and dark. There were bats too.
"Juvia doesn't like it here." Juvia then clings to Gray.
"Just bear with it, we will reach the deepest part soon." Gray continued walking.
When they were walking through the cave, Natsu realized that Wendy feels scared and uncomfortable with the cave's environment. Natsu then gave Wendy a pat in the shoulder, and with a smile, he said: "Don't worry, I'll protect you if anything happens. Besides, we might be getting close on finding Igneel, Grandine and the others, right?"
Wendy blushed for a second, and she felt much better."Right." She smiled.
Finally, they reached the deepest part of the cave. However, it was a dead end!
"What? A dead end!" Reacted Gray.
"Maybe there's a secret passage?" Levy then searched the wall of the cave for a while. However, nothing happened.
"Maybe this cave is not the cave that leads to Dragon Land." Stated Charle.
"But, this is the only cave here…." Said Wendy.
"Let's look for another way, there might be something we missed in this cave!" Natsu was still full of energy.
Just after Natsu turned back, his body and Wendy's body shined!
"What's happening!" Gray then approached Natsu, only to get shocked by the light.
"Gah!" Gray fell to ground.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia then helped Gray to stand.
"What's with this light?" Natsu was confused with the situation.
"I have never seen this before…" Levy couldn't believe it.
"W-what's happening?" Wendy was frightened.
Seconds after that, Both Dragon Slayers vanished!
The two exceeds called for their master's names in response to the shocking incident.
"Tch, just what's going on here!?" Gray has no clue on what's happening in that cave...
All members of the guild were silent, clueless on what have happened in the cave of a nameless mountain...
That's the first chapter! Chapter 2 will be updated soon, starring Natsu's, Gray's, and Gajeel's team! Please keep on reviewing!
