S.R: Sorry did upload this sooner guys, but I had a major paper to write for my AP English class. If I hadn't written it I'd go from an 84% down to a 62%. But enough about me you're here for the story.
Wendy: But I like hearing your stories about regular life.
Natsu: But regular life is sooooo boring Wendy.
Erza: *Slaps Natsu upside the head* Natsu not everyone can be a mage. Don't make him feel bad for not having magical abilities like we do.
S.R: Its fine Erza I don't mind. But I suppose we should get on with the story shouldn't we?
Natsu & Wendy: Let's do this!
S.R: As stated in the last update this chapter picks up at the start of the anime, and yes I altered events slightly because it's an Alternate Universe.
NATSU'S POV
Happy and I were sitting on the train reminiscing old times, when the PA announced that we were pulling into the station at Hargeon. "Damn am I glad that Erza helped me train my motion sickness out of me." I said to Happy as we walked off the train. Happy cheered about it making traveling so much easier. I nodded at that and we started walking around town gathering information. After a while we saw a huge crowd and were hearing murmurs of things like "Oh Salamander is so dreamy." Happy and I looked at each other. I remembered Igneel going by Salamander when he traveled in human form so I was kinda happy to possibly be seeing Igneel again. I started pushing my way through the crowd and finally caught a glimpse of the guy. "Who the hell are you?" I asked as I didn't recognize the man. Instantly the girls of the crowd around me got pissed off and went to hurt me. Not wanting to hurt them but not wanting to be hurt I raised the temperature around me to be hot enough to burn. No one came near me till after the guy left.
"I'd like to thank you for helping me" Said this blonde girl as she walked up to me. Once she said that my stomach started rumbling as did Happy's. "I know I'll treat you guys to lunch." She said. Happy and I just went with it because it was free food. We walked through town to a small restaurant were Happy and I both ordered half the menu. We ate our food and sat there talking with the blonde girl who introduced herself as Lucy for a while. "So, Lucy I know you said you wanted to thank me for helping you but what did I do?" I asked her. She just replied "Oh that creep was using a charm ring." I asked her "weren't those forbidden by the Magic Counsel though?" She nodded and asked me if I was a wizard to because I knew that. I told her yes but I didn't tell her what my magic was because my nose picked up on a familiar scent and I wanted to move to it fast. "Sorry to cut this short Lucy but I have to go. Maybe I'll see you again one day."
Lucy nodded and said goodbye as Happy and I high tailed it out of there. I ran as fast as I could towards the scent and quickly made it to the edge of the town before I lost it. "Dammit!" I yelled in frustration as I punched the tree next to me and shattered it. Then my ears perked up as I heard people taking. "Hey did you hear that Bora the Prominence has been spotted in town." "Oh you mean that blue haired, creep with purple fire that got kicked out of Titan Nose?" "I heard he's been pretending to be some guy named Salamander and claims to have connections to Fairy Tail. But yeah that's the one." Once I heard that I ran back through town looking for the bastard because he had a bounty on his head and it was his bounty quest I had taken on to come to this town. I heard some people gossiping about his party on his boat out at sea.
"Happy let's go." I ordered as my partner picked me up and started flying out over the sea towards the guy's boat. I crashed through the ceiling and noted Lucy in trouble. I had Happy get her out of there. "Hehe. It's the brat from the town earlier. Hope you don't die from the beating my men are going to give you." He said as his guys charged me. I easily took them down before the boat was hit by a huge wave and crashed into the harbor.
LUCY'S POV
"Thanks Happy. But shouldn't we have stayed and helped Natsu?" I asked the blue flying cat and we left the ship. "Nah. Natsu's tough. He's not an S class wizard for nothing you know… But we have our own problem. I'm out of magic." Happy said right before we plummeted towards the sea. Luckily I noticed my celestial gate keys that were taken and thrown off the boat earlier. I grabbed them and summoned Aquarius. After being chewed out for losing the keys for a bit she sent a giant tidal wave that knocked the boat back to shore along with happy and I. When I looked up Natsu was standing on top of the ship growling at the men and demanding they tell him how they're connected to Fairy Tail.
"What's it to you brat?" Their leader spat at him. Natsu glared at him before saying "I'm a mage of Fairy Tail! I have never seen you before!" As Natsu was speaking he shifted showing off his guild mark. The men standing against Natsu started to panic and explained "I know that mark… That's the real deal Bora that's the Fairy Tail guild mark." The man addressed as Bora told him to be quiet and not say his real name again. "Bora… Huh, the only Bora I've ever heard of is Bora the Prominence. If that's you then I'd give in now." Natsu said. Bora paled but launched a spell called Prominence Whip. I cried out in fear for Natsu as it seemed he'd just been blown up, but Happy told me not to worry and just watch.
"He. The punk thought he could defeat me?" Bora commented before we heard a munching sound. Looking towards the fire we saw the flames been sucked into Natsu's mouth like a vacuum cleaner. After mocking the attack Natsu used his Fire Dragon's Roar spell and knocked all but Bora unconscious. Then before I could even blink Natsu was right in Bora's face and simply head butted him into unconsciousness. I heard the sound of a large group marching towards us and started to panic before Natsu calmed me down "It'll be fine Lucy… By the way, I have a question for you. Based on the way you handled yourself I'd like to ask if you want to join Fairy Tail?" I nodded and he and Happy both said great just let us handle the rune knights and then we can go.
NATSU'S POV
After hearing Lucy's answer to my question I turned around and confronted the rune knights explaining the damages, and then handing Bora into custody to complete my quest. I then apologized for the damages I had caused and was told to just keep my power in check. I then got Happy and Lucy so we could leave town. I explained to her that life in Fairy Tail was interesting, full of adventure, and that so long as she was part of Fairy Tail she'd never have a better family.
S.R: Yeah I know cliché ending but I had to wrap it up so that I could post something on here. The next chapter is skipping ahead to the Eisnwald incident and will have major differences (not to mention I'm doing things before hand to spice it up a little). That's all for now folks.
