Freakingname13: that's a good way to go. One Piece is goated by the way
Guest2: haha, nice. Mash and Virgo, the dead fish look couple. And yeah, poor Dot deserves some love, sad how he is horrible in trying to get it. Just those three know about it, Mash's friends have no ideia he doesn't have magic. Innocent Zero is coming.
Guest: that's a very nice way to put it. The best couple. You will see in the future. In a way yes. Resisting control kinda comes from his instincts to protect his cream puffs so maybe. Yes. Magic! Its very fun actually, I like answering questions, makes me feel engaged with the people reading.
Stand Up and Be Strong: nice to see that you like it.
Guest: they finally caught him :(
Yorozuya Forever: no one messes with Mash's cream puffs, its the same thing as messing with Erza's strawberry cakes
Fruitspunchsamurai-987: it will be quite shocking for them to learn the truth about Mash
A day had passed after the incident with the magic council and now our group was enjoying their freedom
"Finally free!" Natsu yelled "The air outside is so much better!"
"He should have spent more time in jail…" Lucy said staring at the dragon slayer
"We were worried for nothing…" Finn sighed, they got the news that it was all a formality so they really had nothing to worry about
"I see. The messenger was a frog, so she just bounced right back." Gray said
"As expected from the cold Ice Mage…" Elfman said "But how about Erza, Natsu, and Mash's duel of men?"
"Men?" Lucy said confused
"Oh yeah! I forgot! Erza! Mash! Let's continue!" Natsu yelled remembering their fight
"No. I'm tired." Erza said with her arms crossed
"I'm busy." Mash said lifting one hand up while eating a cream puff
"Mash! Come on, we have to go try out our new clothes!" Lemon said trying to pull him into their room
"Lance, you don't get it. I'm not the same anymore, my time in prison has changed me." Dot said in a dramatic way
"You were only there for a day." Lance deadpanned
Natsu, on the other hand, didn't accept no for an answer and charged at Erza while lighting his hands on fire, Erza sighed and got up, with one move she summoned a massive hammer and hit Natsu with hit, sending him flying across the guild, Mash jumped and grabbed Natsu by the shirt using only one arm, he put him sitting down on a chair near him seeing as the dragon slayer was now unconscious, he also gave him a few headpats
"If you want to fight so much then I'll take you on." Erza said making her hammer disappear
"And you are out!" Happy said excited
"Gyahahahaha! You suck!" Gray laughed at his rival's humiliating defeat
"Heh, deserved." Lance chuckled
"Erza truly is super strong!" Lemon said impressed
"The guild is all broken again…" Lucy said with a sigh
They all laughed at Natsu's defeat and continued to have fun but the guild master, Makarov, seemed bothered
"Master, is something wrong?" Mira asked
"It's nothing, I'm just sleepy." Makarov explained, confusing Mira "He is here."
Mira realized what he was talking about but it was already too late, she ended up falling asleep and collapsing on the floor, the other members of the guild were also falling asleep one by one, even Erza and Mash ended up sleeping, even if Mash managed to somehow keep his arm with his cream puff up. Soon a completely hooded man came into the guild, he calmly walked through while looking around, and soon his eyes landed on a boy with a yellow streak of hair and a line on his face, he reminded him of someone he saw not too long ago, he decided to ignore that for now and continue walking
"Mystogan." Makarov said seeing the man
The man didn't answer him, he just kept walking until getting to the request board, getting one and showing it to Makarov
"I'm going." Mystogan said beginning to make his way out of the guild
"Hey. Release your sleep magic first." Makarov asked making Mystogan nod
"Five. Four. Three. Two. One." Mystogan counted while getting out of the guild, disappearing as soon as he got through the door
Just as Mystogan disappeared everyone in the guild woke up with some being confused, like Lemon, Lance, Finn, Dot, Lucy, and Mash, but Mash was more worried about his cream puff then the whole situation
"Phew, it's still fine." Mash said and went back to eating his cream puff
"That bastard! This feeling, it can only be Mystogan!" Droy said with a hand on his head
"His sleep magic sure is powerful!" Jet said still not fully awake
"Mystogan?" Lucy said confused
"I remember Levy saying something about him. Isn't he one of the strongest wizards in the guild?" Finn asked, he had a weird feeling that someone was staring at him while he slept
"You're right, he is a candidate for strongest wizard in the guild." Loke said making Lucy look at him surprised, but with Lucy looking at him Loke got scared and began to back away from her
"What's his deal?" Lance said looking at Loke confused
"No one knows, he seems to hate being seen for some reason so whenever he appears he puts everyone to sleep." Gray said thinking Lance was talking about Mystogan "Only the master knows Mystogan's face."
"What the hell!? That guy sounds fishy!" Lucy said surprised
"No. I know it too." an unknown voice said, the voice seemed to be coming from a higher place
"Laxus!? You are here!?" Elfman said looking up
"How unusual." Gray said crossing his arms
"I didn't know the guild had a second floor." Mash said curious
"We live here, how did you only notice that now?" Finn asked confused
"Levy also said that he is one of the strongest in the guild." Lance said looking at the second floor
On the second floor of the guild was Laxus, a tall and muscular blonde man, he had a pair of headphones, a leopard-themed shirt, a cape with the Fairy Tail mark on its back, black pants and brown shoes, on his face there was a lightning-shaped scar that went across his eye
"Mystogan is just a little shy, don't worry about him." Laxus said with a smirk
"Laxus! Fight me!" Natsu yelled having just woken up
"Didn't you just lose to Erza?" Dot asked confused
"The newbie there is right. If you can't even beat Erza you have no chance against me." Laxus said arrogantly
"What is that supposed to mean?" Erza said with a dark aura around her
"It means that I'm the strongest." Laxus stated that like it was a fact
"Come down here, bastard!" Natsu yelled
"How about you come up here?" Laxus said with his smirk widening
"Alright then!" Natsu charged at Laxus, jumping to try and hit him but he ended up being stopped by Makarov, who extended and enlarged his arm and threw him at the ground
"You can't go up there yet." Makarov said, not even looking at him
"Haha, you got scolded!" Laxus laughed at Natsu's failure
"You too, Laxus. Stop." Makarov ordered
"I'm not giving the position of strongest of the guild to anyone!" Laxus continued, apparently ignoring Makarov "Not to Erza, not to Mystogan, and not even to that gezer! I'm the strongest!"
Laxus laughed at the guild members, they were all a bunch of weaklings, unlike him and the Thunder Legion, and with a bunch of new members that were also weak, they couldn't even beat Natsu and Gray, the guild master was really turning this guild into a dump. But soon he felt something weird happening, it was like he was falling. Then he felt his face hit what he thought was a table, destroying it, and right after hitting the ground incredibly hard, causing a shockwave to go through the guild
"What!?" Laxus was confused, he had no idea what just happened, but he suddenly felt something, someone had been holding his hair this entire time
At the same time, he noticed that whatever was holding him let go and he began to get up, standing on one knee and looking around, trying to find out who did this, who was no one other than Mash Burnedead, now the two were staring at each other, face to face, with Laxus being annoyed
"It was you!" Laxus said annoyed
"Yes." Mash said simply
"How!?" Lucy yelled confused
"I saw everything. Mash jumped, grabbed Laxus' hair, pulled him out of the second floor, and slammed him on the ground. Not even needing to get inside of the second floor for that." Makarov said surprised
"Mash!" Erza yelled at the boy but soon calmed down "You didn't need to do that."
"My dad always said that it is rude to talk down to people, so I brought him to our level." Mash said meaning all of this in the literal sense, Laxus was pretty high up after all
"So simple…" Finn sighed
"So your name is Mash…" Laxus said getting up "Looks like I'm going to have to show ya who's boss."
"No need, the boss is Mister Makarov, right?" Mash said like it was something obvious
"You're funny, brat." Laxus laughed while cracking his knuckles
Laxus the punched Mash right in the face throwing him to the other side of the guild, making him hit a wall and fall down, Laxus laughed at Mash but soon was dropkicked right in the chest, making him skid across the ground and break more tables
"I see. So you wanna fight." Mash said fixing his wizard robe
"You can only hit me by getting me off guard, huh brat?" Laxus said annoyed
The guild members were in shock seeing Mash go toe to toe with the likes of Laxus. That was amazing! Even Erza was impressed
Mash appeared in front of Laxus and tried to punch him, but when he did he felt a weird tingle through his body, Laxus had turned into lightning and moved behind Mash, grabbing his head, and throwing him against the ground so hard that he bounced and kicking him away, Mash recovered his balance quickly and backflipped so he could land on his feet, Laxus charged at Mash grabbed a table and hitting him with it, confusing the blonde for a moment, Laxus recovered his focus and tried to punch Mash but he dodged out of the way
"Mash!" Finn yelled worried
"Haha, what a crazy kid! Picking a fight with Laxus!" Gray laughed at the situation
The guild members started to cheer at the fight the two were having, having gotten over their initial shock they all screamed "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!", Laxus raised an arm and had it completely covered by lightning
"Raging Bolt!" Laxus yelled moving his arm down and hitting Mash with a lightning bolt
The boy ended up being a little burned by the attack causing him to stumble backwards a little but he soon recovered, but he didn't recover in time to dodge Laxus's kick to his stomach, the impact was so great that it threw him backward and made him break through one of the walls of the guild, falling on his back outside
"Hope you learned your lesson. Don't mess with people you can't fight!" Laxus already celebrated his victory but he was surprised when Mash appeared in front of him again, and in the middle of a jump
"Quadriceps Magic: Guillotine Kick." Mash kicked Laxus right in the face throwing him backward and this time making him break through one of the guild's walls
Laxus soon got up feeling his nose hurting, he now seemed to have gotten angry, he then began to have an electric aura around him flare up
"I think you deserve that I take you a little more seriously, brat." Laxus said charging up a massive amount of electricity on his hand
"Uh oh." Mash said realizing that it was dangerous
Mash breathed in and stomped on the ground, stretched his arm backward, and charged at Laxus, the blond did the same and soon both of them were face to face once more
"Deltoid Magic: Barbarian Punch."
"Roaring Thunder!"
Both of their punches collided with one another causing a massive shockwave, making some of the Fairy Tail members fall down, and to the surprise of many Mash lost that clash, being blasted back and electrocuted by Laxus' lightning, Mash fell with various burn marks around his body
"Mash!" Lemon yelled scared
But the boy got up again, staring down Laxus and getting ready to continue the fight, Laxus then started to pull air into his lungs, but then…
"Enough!" Makarov yelled, stomping the ground and making both of them look at him "This has gone far enough. You two, stop this instant."
Laxus rolled his eyes and blew the air back through his nose, he then began to clean his clothes with a few pats
"Sorry." Mash apologized to the guild master
"Whatever." Laxus crossed his arms and began to go away from there "One more thing. This isn't over, Mash."
Laxus then went home leaving Mash along with the destruction caused by the fight
–
With night coming, Mash was cleaning the destruction caused by his and Laxus' fight, this was his punishment, being helped by Laki Olietta, the wood mage that was rebuilding all of the destroyed furniture and walls using her magic
Meanwhile, Lucy and Mira talked about something
"Do you know what the master meant when he said that Natsu couldn't go to the second floor?" Lucy asked confused
"Oh, it is too soon for you to go there, Lucy." Mira said "But the request board has jobs that are a lot harder than the ones on this floor. The S Class jobs."
"S class!?" Lucy said surprised
"They are so dangerous that even the smallest mistake can cause your death, but they pay very well. Only S-class wizards can do those missions, and our guild only has five of them, including Erza, Laxus, and Mystogan." Mira explained while finishing to clean a cup "But you shouldn't aim for S Class anyway, you'll never have a life if you do."
"Seems so…" Lucy said sweat dropping
"S class…" Mash said to himself intrigued
"And it's done. My body is completely incapable of continuing to act." Laki said sighing
Laki and Lucy said their goodbyes and went home, Mash then put the broom he was using into a closet
"Thank you for cleaning up, Mash. Have a good night!" Mira said waving at him
"Good night, Mira." Mash waved back
–
In their room, most of them were already sleeping, but two of them were still away, those being Lance and Dot. What Laxus said earlier annoyed them, even more since they were defeated by Natsu and Gray some days ago. They had to prove that they weren't a bunch of weaklings! They had trained since then so they should have gotten stronger!
"Hey, I heard something?" Dot said making Lance go see what he was talking about
Soon the two of them opened the door and saw Happy flying to the second floor and stealing one of the jobs from there. They both saw that and had the same thought… This was the perfect opportunity to prove their strength, and so they ran after Happy. Abyss opened one of his eyes and saw those two running out of the room, he was going to check up on them tomorrow
–
Through the streets of Magnólia, Lance and Dot ran trying to find where Happy went. After some time looking they finally found Happy, and he was also with Natsu and Lucy
"Hey!" Dot yelled getting their attention
"We were busted!!!" Lucy yelled
"The cat stole a mission from the second floor, right?" Lance asked
"Yeah. And?" Natsu answered staring at them
"And my name is Happy!" Happy yelled
"It was all their idea! I have nothing to do with this!" Lucy said shaking her arms "Bye bye new golden key…"
"Take me with you!" Dot and Lance said at the same time
"...Eh?" Lucy said confused
"For real?" Natsu asked
"It's an S-class mission, correct? If we complete it, no one will be able to call us weak." Lance said
"So you only want to come to rub in everyone's face that you aren't weak?" Natsu asked confused
"Yes." Lance and Dot confirmed
"Sick! You're in!" Natsu said excited
"Dear God…" Lucy put both of her hands on her face, it seemed like she might still be able to get her new key after all
And now we begin the Cursed Island arc. Along with the introduction of Laxus and a little scuffle with him
