Gear Chronicle

Chapter 24

It was another 'normal' day in Fairy Tail, which was always good for the companies that makes tables and chairs. I went in the door and went in only to be faced with a giant cloud of smoke and people fighting. You could hear the two usual brawl-starters (incredible that has to be a word in this guild) arguing.

"What did you just call me icicle!?"

"I called you a flame brain torch breath! You got a problem with that," and so on and so on. Everyone was having a great time including myself. I was getting used to this by now and I liked it even though I don't fight. The doors to the guild opened and a group of four people came through.

"We're back everyone!" shouted the one in the middle in an angry voice and the girl next to him let out a sigh.

"You voice is so soothing to my ears," the guy looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"We talked about this Kate. You not supposed…" but a little boy jumping up into the air interrupted him.

"Yay! Yay! Yay! We're back finally! Hello pillar! Hello table! Hello floor!" he ran around and hugged everything even the floor. He then stopped and looked around.

"Hey Nick, this place sure has changed huh! Huh! Hasn't it?" I looked at the group in awe at how weird they were. Nowhere near as weird as some other people from the guild but weird nonetheless. The boy named Nick turned around and kicked a guy laying on the floor sleeping.

"HEY! Billy! Wake up you lazy doofus we're here!" The boy woke up and looked around.

"Hey you're right. Would you look at that," and with that he fell asleep again. Nick rolled his eyes.

"Will pick him up and put him on a table or something. I really don't feel like dealing with him right now," the little boy picked him up and put him down on a table.

"Mission accomplished! Did I do well? Did I?" I looked on at the four people standing in the doorway. I looked at Silver who was sitting next to me.

"Who are these guys?" For once Silver didn't have an answer.

"That is something I will have to admit. I do not have a definitive answer to that question."

"Huh," For some reason I didn't find it that strange. There was nothing unique about the four of them. Even their personalities where very one-sided. You had the angry one. The love obsessed one. The happy one. And the lazy one. But it was good to see that they got back safely from their mission. I smiled. I'm sure everyone here has a dream or ambition. To aspire for something greater. Even the ones I didn't know the names of. They were just as much a member as Natsu and the others. Suddenly a face appeared right in front mine. I fell backwards on my chair.

"Hahaha! Did you see that? I made him fall down! That was fun. Let me do it again," It was that little kid Will and the rest of his group followed except that one who was still sleeping.

"Do you mind if we sit down?" Nick asked in a grumpy voice.

"Whatever I'm leaving anyway," Kai said as he got up and went over to the bar to chat with Mira. They sat down.

"Nice to meet you I'm Jack," The two of them sat down but the little kid was all over the place.

"I'm Nick the leader of our team and this is Kate," He pointed to the girl sitting next to him. She sighed.

"Ahh he said my name."

"Anyway. The kid over there is Will and the sleeping guy on the table is Billy. Together we are gear chronicle and don't you forget it!" He said and pointed to us.

"We never said we would forget it. I'm sorry if I offended you," I quickly added. Was this guy really so angry all the time.

"Well it's nice to meet the four of you," I extended my hand to shake Nick's but he didn't return the handshake. Something crossed my mind.

"I haven't seen you guys around the guild. Have you been gone for a long time?"

"Oh yes believe me. A very long time. Anyways let's go guys! We have some other people to say hi to," And with that they left leaving me alone with Silver.

"There is something rather strange about that team but I cannot put my finger on it specifically," Silver said looking at Gear Chronicle.

"I know what you mean. They come over introduce themselves and leave."

Over at team gear chronicle Kate took her hand down from her ear.

"My love, they're onto us. Should we start your brilliant plan now?"

"Come on. Let's do it! I need some fun. Now now now now now! Pleeease!"

"No! We wait not all they pieces are in place," The three of them walked over to Billy and picked him up and went away. This was definitely strange but then again this was Fairy Tail!
