Okay, here's the first chapter.
Let's see how Jake would appear in this. I may know what you're thinking after hearing the title. But trust me, something is up in this chapter.
This story will begin before the Grand Magic Games. But that arc would still appear here and expect many twists in the future.
Hope you like it!

Chapter 1 - The Mission
Laxus
It was just a B-Class mission took by the Raijinshuu. They rarely go on low-level missions, but this one had an unbelievable price. 300000 jewels just for retrieving a pathetic stone from a thief in Stratholme town.
"It's expected to be a high reward since the client is the Vice Mayor of the town." Freed commented as he reread the mission paper once more.
Laxus let out an annoyed sigh as he walked with his team on the train station. He didn't really want to go on a mission, especually a low-level one, today but their oh-so-hardworking Captain insisted him to join. He can be practically lazy sometimes.
"I'm sure you three can perfectly handle this misssion so why did you even drag me to this?" The lightning dragonslayer glared at the green haired mage when he offered up a smile.
"We missed doing missions with you, Laxus. And we better be earning some money to bring back our team house."
After 7 years in Tenrou Island, they seemed to have lost their small apartment that was supposed to be their meeting place and third home. The guild is their second home but that apartment had many happy memories that they had left for a very long time.
Laxus grumbled something under his breath but he knew Freed was right. He missed their team house too.
After a few hours of travel, they managed to arrive safely in Stratholme town. It was a large town like Magnolia but there are only few commercial buildings around. Most of them were small yet beautifully decorated houses. And the town seen to care so much about nature since there were many kinds of trees on the streets with hanging lamps rather than streetlights.
"The air here is refreshing!" Evergreen inhaled the fresh nature air.
"I heard the mayor here is a Nature dragonslayer." Freed muttered as they walked to the town hall. "He's also the master of the guild here called Leaf Blade."
Laxus shrugged and continued to their walk. This town isn't that bad as he thought.
IiiiiiiiiiI
"WHAT?!" Evergreen and Bickslow practically shrieked as they heard the Mayor. The dark green haired man had said that the reward was raised to 3000000 jewels by the Vice Mayor from his vacation. That was more than enough for their 2 years rent in their team house!
"You haven't heard? He sent a letter to your guild master and turned it to an A-class mission."
"But why? Is there any changes in the mission?"
The man sighed. "You need to defeat the thief too. He's powerful and might get back to steal the stone again. That's what Henry said before he left yesterday."
Laxus finally stopped flirting with the maids and listened to the Vice Mayor. Well, Freed tapped his knee and it was a sign for him to listen. He wouldn't dare let his Captain seal him off in one of his traps again.
"We'll try to bring him down once we see him. And we'll make sure to bring back his stone." Freed stated.
An hour later...
"I can't believe he just raised the reward to that ammount..." Evergreen mumbled as she leaned to the wall of the hotel.
"Yup. I've been thinking about getting 1/3 of the reward then the rest to Laxus and Freed." Bickslow laughed histerically as the brunette bursted in anger.
"There's nothing left to me!"
Laxus sighed in irritation and went to his room ignoring his team mates' annoying babbling. His mind was full of thoughts about the mission. Freed would call it a miracle for him getting some ideas about the mission but he wouldn't give a shit.
'Something's weird with that house...' They had the meeting recently on the Mayor's house since the client wasn't in the town hall. His dragon senses had sensed sonething off within the house. There were weird sounds in a certain room that he didn't even know what part of the house.
And the Mayor... 'He smell different...' Not like he had smelled his scent before. There was another scent lingering from him. He had never smelled a person having another scent before.
Whatever the mission was, he'll try to accomplish that no matter what. He'll have to deal with the weirdness of the things soon.
Some time during the night...
The blond had woke up after he heard some ruffling on the other room, particularly Freed's room. It wasn't a usual sound that he can hear in a late night. The man was a type of peace and quite guy.
As he got up and puts on his robe, he went to knock on the green haired mage's door. "Freed?"
"L-Laxus..."
That made Laxus instantly worried. It wasn't a kind of moan that he usually heard from Freed when he gets off for his Thunder God. Oh, Laxus knew what his friend too well. But it wasn't that. It was a kind of pained cry.
"Freed?!" He knocked harder this time. He sniffed in the air and suddenly caughy another scent of a person inside. That was the time he opened the door with a mysteriously unlocked knob. Freed usually locks his door and- "FREED!"
There stood a light blue haired young man with a beaten up Freed on his arms. He was holding the mage's sword and instantly held the blade close to the mage's neck as Laxus came in.
"Come closer and he dies..." The male's voice was soft yet full of evilness.
"Who the fuck are you?!"
The male smirked as he shuffled on his pocket with his other hand. And then he revealed a shining blue stone that seemed familiar... "I have what you're looking for. If you want it, you have to find me first..."
POOF!
The room was filled with smoke as the man escaped from the open window.
Freed lied on the floor unconcious. Laxus tried to shake him off to wake up but he failed. There were many wounds and bruises on his body, and that made the dragonslayer feel angry. He hated his team mates being hurt.
"You're gonna be okay Freed..." He muttered as he lift him bridal style and carried him to the hospital.
Whoever that man was, Laxus is going to beat the shit out of him.
OooooooooO
Wooh! Did you read that? Jake's hair is light blue so it's definitely him! I'm sure there'll be more revelations later... *Smirks evilly*
I'll be posting another chapter for about 2 or 3 hours? Because I'm feeling really inspired today after reading more fanfics recently.
Hold on. Freed likes Laxus here, but the question is; Does Laxus likes him too? Sorry for Fraxus shippers (I'm a Fraxus shipper too, so sad...) but this one is for my OC and Laxus.
And the weirdness of things will be revealed later. Major revelations will be unfolded.
See ya!
