Another day in the Fairy Tail guild. Grimmjow, a member who was one of Fairy Tail's most recent recruits, was just chilling at the bar as he chugged down a few drinks. He overheard Ichigo's team talk about finding a new job.

"You're nuts if you think I'm doing that." Renji said.

"But it pays a lot." Ichigo said. While they were talking, Orihime turned to the bar and saw Grimmjow was all alone. He has been since he first joined.

"Guys, do you think we could invite Grimmjow? I feel bad for him. He's always on his own." Orihime said.

"Maybe that's how he likes it." Ichigo said. "Don't put so much thought into it. After all, this is Grimmjow we're talking about." Grimmjow might have done some bad things, but he's got to be in Fairy Tail for a while. He just needs to do something to show he's part of this.

"Grimmjow to the Rescue"

"Come on, guys. I think we should just give him a chance." Orihime said. "We can get to know him better."

"Don't worry yourself about me." Grimmjow said as he came by. "I get it. I'm responsible for attacking your guild and a few of your members, but the fact is I'm here. I don't expect others to get along with me." With that said, he just walked out.

"See? I guess he just doesn't want to be bothered or anything." Ichigo said.

"Maybe, but I just feel like there's more than we think." Orihime said.

Grimmjow

Grimmjow decided to head out and get some air. He was practically gone the whole day with it already being dark outside. He jumped from one rooftop to another as he tried to get in some exercise. He came to a stop at one and looked out into the view. Grimmjow sighed and took a seat.

"Man, this bites." Grimmjow complained. He's been in Fairy Tail for practically a couple months, but nothing has really changed for him. He wouldn't admit this to anyone, but he was actually looking for some acceptance. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a noise and looked down into an alleyway. He looked down and saw a boy that was about ten years old and it looked like he was searching around a dumpster. "Trying to find food and survive. I know what that's like."

"Where is he?"

"He should be around here?" Down in the alley were a few guys in suits with flashlights. The kid took cover in the dumpster.

"What's going on down there?" Grimmjow wondered. The kid tried to peek out to see if they were gone yet. "No kid, don't come out." The men searched around until they spotted him peeking out of the dumpster.

"Alright, kid. Just come quietly or else this will get ugly." One of them said.

"Look like things are already getting ugly with you guys here." Grimmjow said and got their attention as they flashed their lights on him. Grimmjow jumped down and landed on one of them.

"Get him!" Four more of them charged right at him. Grimmjow kicked one to the wall. One swung a pipe, but Grimmjow jumped up and grabbed a fire escape and kicked the guy in the face.

"Gale Spirit's Howl!" Grimmjow used his howl attack on the remaining too. The goons got freaked out by how strong he was and they all made a run for it. "That's right. You better run. "You can come out, kid." The boy climbed out of the dumpster and Grimmjow went bent down to talk to the kid. "You okay?" The only answer he got was a punch in the face. "Cute, but…." Grimmjow got hit in the face again. "I hate kids." He was about to get hit again, but Grimmjow stopped it. "You know with three strikes and you're out, right? So watch it or else."

"Who are you?"

"The name is Grimmjow. I'm part of Fairy Tail. What about you?"

"My name's Taylor."

"Okay, Taylor. How about you….." Grimmjow was about to ask what was going on, but Taylor kicked him in the shin and ran off. "You little brat." Taylor kept running and looked back to see he was being followed, but he ran right into Grimmjow. "Do that again and you'll regret it. Now, tell me who those guys were?"

"What's it matter to you? You can't do anything about it." Taylor said.

"Oh yeah?" Grimmjow said.

"Yeah!" Taylor argued back.

"Oh yeah?!" Grimmjow said and he was getting mad.

…

The Guild

Grimmjow carried Taylor under his arm as they went back to the guild. They were just outside it when Grimmjow put him down.

"There. With any luck, the master is still here. She'll force what I need to know out of you." Grimmjow said as he walked towards the entrance. Taylor used this opportunity to run off again. He didn't get very far as Grimmjow lifted him off of his feet by the back of his collar. "Tell me what's going on or I'm going to keep dragging you back here and I'm going to get angrier with each time."

"Okay." Taylor said and Grimmjow put him down. "It happened just a few hours ago. My Mom is a reporter who works for Sorcerer Weekly. She was on her way here to interview some of Fairy Tail's members, but she tumbled across something bigger. She got a recording of a man named Vajeer Vulpamin with some illegal smuggling activity that's been going on. However, they found her and took her captive."

"So why are they after you?" Grimmjow asked.

"Just before she was taken away, she gave me the film." Taylor said as he took it out of his pocket. "She told me that I needed to be brave and I promised her I come back."

"Okay, this is starting to make sense." Grimmjow said. "They want to get their hands on you so they can get that film."

"Yeah and I don't know what they're doing to my Mom." Taylor said as he began to cry.

"Whoa, calm down. Turn off the waterworks." Grimmjow said. "I'm sure she's fine. They probably use her as a bargaining chip or something. Either way, they would need her alive. We'll just talk to some members of the guild and we'll save her."

"No, I need to be the one to save her and I'm worried what might happen to her the longer they have her." Taylor said. "We have to save her now!" Grimmjow could see he was going to be stubborn about this and there didn't seem to be any other way to get Taylor to cooperate.

"Fine. If you can show me where they are holding her hostage, I'll help you save her."

…..

Warehouse District

Taylor took Grimmjow out to a warehouse that people hardly ever use. Grimmjow took Taylor to the roof and they looked through a skylight.

"That big guy in the white suit is Vajeer." Taylor said as he pointed to him. "My Mom must be in a cell in the back or somewhere back there."

"Alright. I'll keep him distracted while you get your Mom out." Grimmjow said.

"Got it." Taylor said. They have to do this right or it will be curtains for them. Inside, Vajeer was not happy with what happened with his men.

"One guy made you all run like little babies?" Vajeer said.

"We're sorry, but the guy was real strong."

"How tough can one guy be?" Vajeer said. Then he heard glass was smashed open as Grimmjw came crashing in.

"You're about to find out. You ready to let go of that reporter you have?" Grimmjow said.

"You're the guy? You don't look all that tough." Vajeer said. "Tear this guy apart." He had his men charged right at Grimmjow. Grimmjow kicked a few boxes at them and knocked them down. One tried swinging a pipe, but Grimmjow dodged it and kicked the guy in the stomach. He pounded one across the face. Grimmjow was beating the guys around and Vajeer was annoyed.

"Must I do everything myself?" Vajeer said as he removed his blazer and rolled his sleeves up. He ran up to Grimmjow and pounded him across the face when he was least expecting it, but Grimmjow got back up.

"Is that all you got?" Grimmjow said and build up some power. He kicked Vajeer in the chest a few times. "Gale Spirit's Roaring Slash!" Grimmjow thrusted his hand and shot out his blue wind attack and pushed Vajeer into the wall. "Okay, who else wants some?" While Grimmjow fought those guys, Taylor was able to get inside and ran to the back where his mother being held. However, Vajeer was able to pull himself together and saw him run in. Taylor made it to the back and saw his mother was behind bars and tied to a chair.

"Taylor!" His mother said as she was surprised to see him.

"It's okay, Mom. I came here with a man who's kicking butt." Taylor said as he knew what she was thinking. He spotted the keys and got the door open. He ran to her side and tried to undo the knots.

"How sweet. You came to save your Mommy." They saw Vajeer was at the door.

"Leave my Mom alone." Taylor said as he stood between her and him.

"Yeah right. Give me that film and this will be a lot less painful." Vajeer threatened.

"But it's going to be a lot more painful for you." Vajeer looked to his right and saw Grimmjow beat his way out of everyone one of his men.

"Who are you?" Vajeer said as he was a little scared on who he was.

"I'm the guy who's beating you." Grimmjow said as he ran right at him and socked him right in the jaw. Vajeer's head hit the wall and knocked him out. "Time to go." Grimmjow ripped the ropes off and Taylor's mother was free.

"Thank you so much." Taylor's mother said.

"Don't mention it." Grimmjow said.

"Here, Mom. Now, you can put these guys away." Taylor said as he gave her the film. "Thanks for helping us out, Grimmjow."

"You know, you're a tough little guy. You're going to be one heck of a man when you get older. Now, let's make sure these guys don't bug you again until you hand that over to the authorities." Grimmjow said.

…

The Guild

A few days have passed after Grimmjow beat Vajeer and helped Taylor and his mother get the film to the proper authorities and placed Vajeer behind bars. Grimmjow was just relaxing until Ichigo and Orihime came by with a new Sorcerer Weekly.

"Hey, Grimmjow." Ichigo greeted.

"What do you two want?" Grimmjow said.

"We just read an interesting story." Orihime said.

"A member of Fairy Tail named Grimmjow Jaegarjaquez assisted in the arrest of Vajeer Vulpamin. He single handily rescued a reporter and her son." Ichigo read.

"I knew it." Orihime said as she placed her hands on him. "I knew deep down that you were a good guy."

"Who knew big and tough Grimmjow had a soft side." Ichigo made fun of.

"Get off me." Grimmjow said.

"Don't be embarrassed." Ichigo said.

"Orihime, you're going to ruin my jacket." Grimmjow said as he tried to shake them off.

"You can't ruin polyester." Orihime said.

"Did you just say polyester?" Grimmjow said. Looks like he's finally gaining some acceptance in the guild.
