Fairy Tail's New Shadow Member!
"You think the Master will be alright with that weird stranger we found the last night?" Happy asked.
"I'm sure it's nothing gramps can't handle, buddy." Natsu said cheering up his little cat best friend.
"Still, who do think was that guy anyway? He literally fell from the sky like I was." Lucy confused.
"That a big question which I'm sure will be answer soon. Here." A white-haired girl said handing the three some food and some drinks.
She's a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead, and blue eyes. She wears a reddish dress with pink ribbons and bows, high-heeled shoes that match her dress, and accessorizes with a small chain necklace with a blue oval gem attached to it, and a bracelet made of white flowers circling her right wrist. Breasts sizes: G-cup.
"Thanks Mira!" Natsu thanked before chowing down in the meat he got.
"I'm actually surprise to find no one here today, usually the place pact with everyone." Lucy pointed out looking around the empty small guildhall.
"That's because everyone is all sleeping, consider the ordeal we went through last night." Another girl said. She has the same white hair as the Mira, but shorter and her younger sister. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Hey Lisanna, how're doing?" Lucy greeted.
"Great, Elfman is sleeping back home like the others. So, it just us today." Lisanna said sitting down at the bar stand.
"How're you feeling Lucy, still hazy from the Nightmare event and becoming a giant-stone fish." Lisanna asked concern for her friend.
"Yeah, I'm doing fine. In fact, I feel better then ever!" Lucy smiled flexing her arms a bit.
"Glad to hear it!" Lisanna pleaded to hear.
Mira turns her head to see a girl coming out from the storage closet. She is a petite girl with long violet-colored hair and green eyes. She wears a lime green-colored blouse with a green neckline and trim, which is complimented by a long, white skirt. She is also wears green boots. Breasts sizes: G-cup.
"Hey Kinana, you doing okay?" Mira asked.
"Uh… oh, I'm doing okay. Just been stressful a bit." Kinana said showing she's in perfect health.
"It was still funny that you ended up becoming fish, I could've eaten you!" Happy laughed as he chews in his fish.
"Can it, Cat!" Lucy snapped at Happy.
"Well, I guess the six of us here is okay." Natsu said.
"Make that seven." Mira chuckled pointing at their left.
They turn their head to where Mira was pointing at and they got a good look at seeing someone laying on a table with four barrels around the table and another with the person. The groaning sounds female as she raises her head up showing a familiar face to everyone.
She is a tall, slim, young woman with an ample bust and tan skin. She has long, mid-back length brown hair with varying shades of color, having been seen as bright brown, black, and, ultimately, plain brown, and purple eyes. Two shoulder-length strands of hair frame her face, with the left one starting from a prominent, high fringe. Her black Fairy Tail stamp is located on the lower left part of her abdomen, right above her hips. Her upper body is left largely exposed, with most of her attires being distinctively scanty: her standard outfit consists of a light blue bikini top which features a camouflage pattern, a pair of capri pants, with two bands hanging from each leg and a light belt covered in heart motifs loosely tied around the waist. She completes her general outfit by wearing a pair of high-heeled sandals. She also had a pair of metal bracelets adorning her biceps, bearing an incision composed of many "A"s, and three simple, round metal bracelets on her right wrist. Breasts sizes: FF-cup.
"Uhhh, morning already?" The young woman moaned scratching her head.
"Cana?!" Lucy, Happy, and Natsu gasped at the same time.
"Heeey, not so loud!" Cana winced having a major hangover from all the drinks she's been having.
"She ended up sleeping here since you all got back last night." Mira informed.
"Well… everyone has their own way of dealing with stress." Lucy said.
(Outside the small Guildhall)
"I see, so you were on a mission with your friend and meet with someone who thought was dead who send you through a portal this world." Makarov summarized of everything Shadow told him as they walk up the path to the guildhall.
"Yes, he certainly caught me off guard with his sudden appearance and the portal, I could barely do anything when I was being suck." Shadow said with a hint of anger. Who would love to punch that alien in the face.
"It seems you got yourself in quite the pickle, young man." Makarov said.
"Yes, and I hope to find a way back home though I get the feeling that it may not be that simple." Shadow said.
The two reach the front door of the small tavern that is the Fairy Tail guildhall.
"So, this where your guild?" Shadow asked. Not exactly impress of the place, but the old saying goes of never judging the book by its cover.
"It may not seem much, but it's all we have now since the seven years absented." Makarov said with a sad look. Shadow can tell that something must've happened to him the guild sometime ago, he won't ask the old man if he doesn't want to.
"Well then, let's go meet your new family Shadow." Makarov said as he opens the door.
"…Family, huh, never thought I hear those words from anyone besides being called a friend." Shadow smirked at himself and walk in after Makarov.
Shadow saw some people and a small blue cat inside as they greeted Makarov with gentle and exciting smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Gramps, and new guy!" Natsu greeted with a bone in his mouth like a toothpick.
"Hello everyone, I like you all to meet our newest member of Fairy Tail, Shadow!" Makarov introduced Shadow to everyone who is present at the guildhall as most of them became shock.
"Hey, nice to meet you all!" Shadow greeted with a thumb up.
"Cool, a new friend and a new rival let's fight!" Natsu grinned pounding his fists together looking all excited.
"Really, we just met the guy and aren't you tried from what we went through?" Lucy asked worry that Natsu maybe pushing himself too much.
"No worries, I can kick some butts and I'm this guy wouldn't mind." Natsu stated.
"Hmm, I think it would be a good idea to see what your capable of, think of this as welcoming you into the world!" Makarov glanced at Shadow with a scheming look in his eyes and a cocky smile.
Shadow knew what the old man was up to agreeing to Natsu's idea and honestly, he didn't it at all thinking he should at least see how this world's strong fighters handle themselves and consider all what Makarov told him about wizards and guilds along the way here. In fact, he's actually feeling excitement for this as he clutches his fists.
"Sure, I'm interested to just how strong you are!" Shadow smirked.
"Please, Natsu will burn to a crisp!" Happy proclaimed as he flies near Natsu.
Before they could take their fight outside, Shadow just remembered the other reason why he came here beside joining the guild.
"Hey Makarov, didn't you say that the emeralds are here?" Shadow asked.
"Oh yes, Mira would you mind getting them, please?" Makarov asked the bar girl.
Mira nodded and left the room going to the back of the guild for a moment and come back with a bag in her hands tied up close as she walks to Shadow.
"Here, these were with you when we found you in the forest." Mira handed him the bag.
"Thanks." Shadow grabbed the bag as his hand touch Mira's and she suddenly felt surprise like she was zapped.
"Oh!"
"Uh, something wrong?" Shadow asked.
"Ahh, no! Nothing, nothing at all!" Mira responded nervously before backing away to the bar.
"Hmm, what's up with her?" Natsu asked and Happy just shrug that he's confused as he is.
Shadow take a quick look inside the seeing as all seven Chaos Emeralds present though he also notices something wrong about them.
"(They're nearly drained of all their energy, good thing I don't always need the Master Emerald to recharge them. I'll do that later though.)" Shadow thought putting the bag hanging on the belt of his pants.
(Backyard)
"Alright, this is a one-on-one match between Natsu Dragneel vs Shadow! Who ever defeats the other is the winner! Are you both ready?" Makarov asked seeing Natsu and Shadow standing apart from each other about 10-20 feet.
"I'm all FIRE up!" Natsu said with his two fists ignite in flames.
"Ready!" Shadow excited.
"I can't believe they're doing this." Luch sighed sitting with everyone on some logs.
"Come on Lucy, we got to cheer on our Natsu in this fight!" Lisanna excited.
"Yeah, but-wait… OUR Natsu?!" Lucy confused of what Lisanna meant as her face began to blush slight pink.
"Well, you two have gotten close to each other since you joined, but I planned on taking Natsu's first time!" Lisanna declared, Lucy blushes even more instantly knowing what she's saying.
"Ready…" Makarov raised his hand high as Shadow and Natsu ready themselves in their battle stance.
"GO!"
Natsu made the first move charging at Shadow with his flaming-fist aiming for the face though Shadow smirks. Natsu was just about to make contact with his face, Shadow suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Huh, where'd he go?" Natsu asked shock.
"Right behind you." Shadow said as he kicks Natsu right in the side of the torso and send him flying a few feet away.
"Whoa, he got a good hit on Natsu!" Lucy shocked.
"I barely saw him move, but I can definitely tell it pure speed." Mira stated, knowing what fighting against a speeder is like when the last event Fairy Tail faced.
Natsu quickly got back up like nothing happened, but he feel like his side hurting a bit.
"Nice hit, you're really strong to knock me out!" Natsu complimented with a grin.
"Thanks, you seem to be one tough guy." Shadow said seeing that no normal person would get up after a kick like that, but he can tell that Natsu is FAR from normal.
"Alright, let see how you handle this!" Natsu burst flames from his hand again ready to perform one of his signature attack.
"Fire Dragon Wing Attack" Natsu unleashed two fire-whips at Shadow as he dodges them and zoom to Natsu.
Natsu is ready this time as he blocks a charging kick, Shadow and Natsu at each other with intense and exciting glares thinking this fight is going to be epic, the two then trade blows after blow and more attacking each other punches and kick while blocking then counter each other. The colliding fists of these two power houses are so intense that they emit small shockwaves with some flaming aura around them as they continue clashing. Natsu fires his Fire Dragon Roar and Shadow narrowly dodges it feeling slight burn marks on his right cheek. Shadow attacks with his Chaos Spear as Natsu dodges them while trying to get close to Shadow. Some of the punches they strike hit each other in the face and the upper body though either of them would give an inch.
Shadow jumps back from the roundhouse-kick from Natsu.
"Not bad, you remind of someone I know who's always excited for adventure." Shadow compared Natsu to a center blue hedgehog he knows back home.
"Thanks, you're pretty good yourself." Natsu complimented back.
"Why don't we settle things right now, to see how you'll stand up against the Ultimate Life Form!" Shadow suggested ending this fight in one move as he jumps up and starts spinning fast while staying in place.
"Oh yeah, if you're the Ultimate Life Form then that makes me the Ultimate Dragon Slayer!" Natsu declared as he starts powering up his fire magic.
Both Shadow and Natsu charge up their power to the fullest for a few moments as everyone watching felt exciting of this match wondering who will win. They felt their powers reached at the peak of their limits and begun charging at each other.
"Spin Dash Attack"
"Fire Dragon Sword Horn"
At the very moment when the made contact with each other, a huge shockwave bursts from the two shaking the ground a bit and the others are nearly being blown away as they try their best to hold on. Sparks are flying everywhere from the two in this epic power struggle. Natsu gave out a big scream from the top of his lungs slightly pushing back Shadow, but the black-red-haired boy isn't giving up so easily as he manages to push Natsu back as well. Then before Natsu could react on instinct Shadow quickly exit his spin dash attack to perform a powerful dropkick to the head slamming him to the ground and knocking him out.
Shadow stands tall over the defeated Dragon Slayer who's groaning in pain struggling to get up.
"N-No way… Natsu… lost…?" Lucy shocked as everyone else is equally surprise by the outcome even Makarov is shock as well.
"You did great, maybe being part of Fairy Tail will be fun!" Shadow said holding out his hand to Natsu.
"Hehe, you too and believe me, joining Fairy Tail will be the greatest adventure in your life!" Natsu said accepting Shadow's hand pulling him back on his feet.
Something inside Shadow was telling him that being in Earthland won't be so bad.
