A/N: Oh yeah, Tskune will be in the next chapter for reasons that will become clear later.
And also, I won't be updating that often cuz school is starting. :D
"We're here!" Moka said to the others, looking out the window.
The three of them slowly ventured off the train, hoping for the best, and fearing the worst.
The slowly entered the town, Mirajane taking the lead. Most of the houses had collapsed. The few that were standing were in bad shape. All was eerily silent, except for a couple birds chirping, oblivious to the mood. They turned around slowly, certain that at least one person in this desolate town remained.
A young girl, about Wendy's age, ran up to them. Her light blond hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. She wore a yellow dress and ran barefoot to the Fairy Tail trio. A black cloak billowed around her.
The mages stood in shock as she started talking quickly. "Are you here from Fairy Tail? No, of course you are. You have to help us! Please!"
Kahlua held up a hand to stop her. "I'm Kahlua Shuzen. That's my sister Moka Akashiya, and finally, Mirajane Strauss. Why don't you start by telling us your name."
The girl nodded. "I'm Lily." (A pic I drew of her: art/Lily-390247050?ga_submit_new=10%253A1375473227) A silver cross swung from her neck, smaller than Moka's. "I'm the only female left. The others either were eaten, or they ran away. Most of them survived, though." Lily said defensively. "All because... Because..."
Moka nodded encouragingly. "We're here to help. Continue, please."
Lily straightened up with newfound confidence. "I'm a dragon slayer. Dragons came and attacked this town after it happened. Anyway, none of them were Primrose." At this a sad, nostalgic look came apon her face.
Mirajane cane to the conclusion that Primrose was the dragon that taught Lily. She didn't ponder that for long; her mind had been filled with an entirely new thought. "Did you kill all of the dragons?" She asked Lily urgently.
Lily pondered for a moment. "No. I killed a couple, but the others flew away. There was 10 or so left."
Mirajane leaned forward, interested. "And what form did they take?"
"Don't be silly. They're dra-" her voice died off as she looked into the sky, shocked. "Any animal. Those birds. DUCK!"
The four if them hit the ground as a stream of fire passed over their heads.
Lily stepped forward, creating a shield of mud.
"Stop." Kahlua said firmly. As Lily collapsed the earth wall, the requip mage stepped forward. "Where is your master?" She asked a dragon.
Moka and Mirajane looked at each other in surprise. What was Kahlua doing?
The dragon seemed to be answering. Kahlua looked back at her friends. "Hop on!"
Moka and Mirajane walked towards the dragons, as if in a daze. Lily hesitated. "I'm afraid of heights."
"Hurry!" Kahlua yelled urgently.
Each mage boarded a dragon. The creatures rose higher and higher. It was a beautiful sight, but not for Lily, who was hugging her dragon, eyes shut.
In mere seconds they were over the town hall. The dragons passed through what seemed like just air, but before the mages' brains caught up with what they were seeing, their ride alighted on a floor; an invisible room. Mirrors surrounded them.
Moka turned to Kahlua, confused. "How could you get the dragons to do what you wanted them to?" Her eyes narrowed.
Kahlua smiled sweetly, too sweetly. She spoke. It was the most beautiful voice any of them had ever heard. Like a choir of angels. Moka felt very sleepy all of a sudden.
"Resist Moka', the rosary said. "I'm trying." Moka spoke aloud. She looked at the others, who had happy smiles on their faces, their eyes vacant. Moka tried to find a grip, a ledge that would pull her out of this magic sea of words. She felt herself slowly slipping under.
Kahlua continued. "We defeated the dragons and forced them to tell us the location."
"We defeated the dragons and forced them to tell us the location." The three mages repeated.
Kahlua smiled and broke the mind spell. She turned towards the others, all pawns in her plan.
Moka stepped forward in a daze and put her hand on a mirror. It sank through.
Lily yelped, and Mirajane yelled, "Moka!"
Moka didn't listen. Something, some force of nature was pulling her toward that mirror. She put her head inside.
Nothing could have prepared her for what lied beyond. "Tskune!" She yelled. "Tskune! Tskune!"
Erza walked over to the remaining three Youkai wizards. 'It's either allies or enemies', she reasoned to herself.
Kurumu stood up, trying not to look as nervous as she felt. This was the great Titania. "Um... Is it okay if we don't go on a job immediately? We still haven't gotten used to Fairy Tail."
Erza looked at Kurumu, noting the fear in the other girl's eyes. "It's okay. We can just test your ability here."
Erza held back a laugh. Kurumu looked terrified. "Don't worry. I won't be the one testing you." She looked back and called, "Gray, Lucy, Elfman, can you come here a moment?"
Those three mages made their way to her, Natsu walking alongside Gray. He did not want to be bested by the ice mage.
Erza turned to the other fairy tail wizards. "Gray, fight Mizore, Elfman, fight Mizore, and Lucy, you fight Yukari. Test their powers, but do not fight as hard as you can."
Everyone started talking at the same time.
"At least we don't have to fight Erza."
"A real man does not fight girls."
"I WANNA FIGHT TOO!"
"Do we have to fight them, or can we gauge their skill in other ways?"
This last question was from Lucy, which was intelligent on her part. It was also the only comment Erza paused to consider.
"Any way you like, Lucy."
Erza walked outside, the seven wizards following her.
"I'll give you ten minutes. After that, Gray, Elfman, and Lucy shall report to me individually. Start!"
Kokoa Shuzen sat up quickly. "Come on! Lets get this job over with!" She yelled as she rushed off the train.
Laxus and Akua exchanged an amused glance and followed Kokoa. They entered a small town hesitantly.
They were greeted by a tall man in a suit. "You are the fairy tail mages, correct?" he said, his accent unplaceable.
Kokoa nodded.
Akua couldn't move. She knew him. From where, she didn't know. But Akua was certain she recognized his face.
"Gray, come with me." Erza motioned for him to follow her.
"Don't make her angry! Think about the rest of us!" Lucy yelled after them.
After they were out of sight of the others, Erza turned to Gray. "So, how was Mizore?"
"Her power is pretty good. She usually goes for inanimate objects, but Mizore's adept at making clones out of ice. Her biggest weakness is that she cares a lot about her friends. You can insult her in battle all you want, and it won't do a single thing. But when I said I was going to kill Kurumu, she really threw herself into the fight. She wasn't even strategizing." Gray explained.
Erza nodded, thoughtful. She suddenly began noticing little things. Gray's shirt was off. She shook her head to clear it. 'What was wrong with her?' Erza blushed.
Gray walked over to Erza and took her head in his hands. He didn't know what he was doing. It was automatic. Gray leaned in and kissed Erza.
The sky darkened and water poured down from the clouds. The two mages stood there, kissing in the rain.
*gasp* Juvia's revenge. Erza's screwed. Oh wait, Juvia's screwed. Nope, Gray's screwed. :D
I originally planned to just have 2 pairings in this thing, (LaxusXAkua and GirlsXTskune) but I was bored so... :D
