Chapter 2

Natsu's eyes shot open as he sat up and looked around, he was in a pretty nice room on a really soft bed. Natsu step on to the floor as he tried to remember what had happened, "oh yeah I got a serious beat down" he said as he walked over to the door

Natsu didn't know why the guy hadn't killed him and he didn't have time to wonder about it he needed to get out of here, wherever it was. Natsu peeked his head out of the door and looked down the corridor and seeing no one he ran in search for an exit. The dragon slayer was running down the corridor when his nose caught the scent of meat and his stomach started to growl, "I'll just get a small bite to eat, they kidnapped me the least they could do is give me something to eat" he reasoned as he started to follow his nose

His sensitive nose lead him to the kitchen where he saw a perfectly roasted joint of meat sitting on the counter, he walked over to it drooling but as he was about to take a bite he felt the cold blade of a knife against his neck, "and what the hell do you think you're doing?" he heard someone whisper in to his ear

Natsu looked behind him to see a man holding a knife to his throat, he had dark black hair that covered most of his face and a black scarf that covered the rest, "I was just getting a bite to eat" Natsu said nervously

"Hey Riki is lunch ready yet" a 7 foot tower of muscle without a shirt walked in to the kitchen and saw the scene before him, "what's going on here?"

"Found this guy trying to steal our dinner, either he's stupid or suicidal"

"Hey did you find out if lunch is ready" a kid only slightly older than Wendy walked in, "what's happening?"

"Hey I was just going to leave" Natsu tried to leave but the knife prevented him from going anywhere

"He is our guest guys" the man who had fought Natsu walked in, "let him go Riki"

"Yes sir" the knife was lifted from Natsu's neck

"who the hell are you, why am I here and where is here?" Natsu started to fire off questions

"I suppose we should introduce our selves, I am the black storm god Kalex" he then pointed to the man still holding a knife, "you have already met the unseen shadow god Rikimaru"

"I AM THE RUMBLING VOLCANO GOD, VESUVIUS" the muscle man shouted as he started flexing

"And I am the raging sea god, Poseidon" the kid introduced himself not really looking at Natsu

"ok then why am I here ?" Natsu asked

"I would tell you but I have a job to do so I need to go" Kalex turned and walked out the door before shouting back, "feel free to stay for lunch, Riki is an amazing chef"

Back at the Fairy tail guild, Lucy sat in the guild hall with Happy as they both ate lunch when Erza dragged Gray over and slammed a request on the table, "you will join me on this job" she demanded and without them agreeing or reading it she dragged them out of the hall. Erza dragged them all to the train station before they could ask questions.

"what is this job anyway?" Gray asked after he managed to get out of Erza's grip

"it is a bodyguard job, it pays really well and I know you need to pay your rent Lucy" Erza handed her the request

Lucy looked at the flyer, "4 MILLION JEWEL!" she screamed when she saw the reward, "why so much for just a bodyguard job?"

"this guy must be really scared" Gray commented

"yes now let's go" Erza marched on to a train with everyone else behind her

It took the group an hour to reach the place where the request came from, it was a mansion sitting at the top of a hill over a small town. The group met their employer as he cowered in the library, "why do you need protecting?" Erza asked as the man twitched and looked around

"I hired some guys to gather some information but I decided to not pay them and they threatened to send someone" he looked like he was about to cry as he kept twitching

"well as despicable as that is Fairy tail will protect you" Erza told him, "Gray and I will patrol around the premises, Lucy you and Happy stay here"

The time slowly ticked by as Lucy sat in the library with the client as he looked over his shoulder every 5 minutes, she read one of the many books to occupy her time, "I didn't know this job would be so boring" Lucy thought as she read, "but it's good money and you need to pay rent"

"such pretty hair for such a pretty girl" Lucy felt someone stroke her hair as they whispered in her ear

Lucy jumped up and grabbed her keys as she faced the intruder, standing in front of her was some blond guy barely older than her wielding a scythe, "IT'S HIM, HE'S HERE TO KILL ME" the client screamed as he ran to the door.

"so you're the slime who doesn't pay people" with one swing of his scythe their client was sliced in half just as he was reaching for the door, "my job is done so goodbye pretty lady"

Lucy stared in horror at what she saw as she grabbed a key, "you're not going anywhere, open gate of the golden bull, Taurus" A giant bull spirit blocked the assassin's path

"I am going to squash you in to a cow pat" the bull raised his axe and brought it down on the man

The axe was blocked by his scythe as Erza and Gray burst in to the room, "sever, slicing dragonfly" the bull's axe was cut in half as he was sent back to the celestial world, "sweet Lady Erza I wish I could stay but I really must be off"

The assassin blew Erza a kiss before he disappeared right in front of the mages eyes and so did any chance of getting paid. They all gathered around their clients body as Gray started asking questions, "who the hell was that and how did he know you?"

"that was the black storm god Kalex, he is a very powerful dark mage I have fought him a few times" Erza explained

"he must be hardcore if he can go toe to toe with Erza and come out with his life" Happy commented as he looked down at the body

"we should call the authorities and get back to the guild" Erza said as she made her way out of the library
