Mizu was pouting as she sat at a table. She was upset with her father for leaving her at the guild while he and the others went to stop a dark guild and save the guild masters. Once they had made it back, they started eating food like crazy. Natsu tried to make it up to his daughter, but she didn't want to hear it. She is right now sitting at a table pouting when suddenly she starts to hear sounds coming from outside the guild hall. She started to wonder what that was.
Mizu: "What is going on outside?"
She got up and walked outside to see that everyone was surrounding Erza and her father. She looked confused but then remembered what her brother told her. Their father challenged Erza to a fight before they left. She walked over to Gray and stood next to him, trying to see the fight but she couldn't. Gray looked down at her, before picking her up and placing her on his shoulders, so she could see the fight. Soon Lucy walked over to them.
Lucy: "Whoa! No way! They're going through with it?"
Elfman: "Well if those two value their manhood, then they better go through with it."
They looked over at him confused, because Erza wasn't a man.
Mira: "Erza's not a man."
Macao: "You got to admit she's manly."
Lucy looked over at Gray worried.
Lucy: "Hey, don't you think this fight might tear our strongest team apart?"
They looked over at her confused.
Gray: "What are you talking about? Our strongest team?"
Lucy: "You, Natsu, and Erza, dummy! You guys are the strongest wizards in the guild!"
They looked at her shocked and Mizu started laughing. Lucy looked at the seven-year-old confused.
Gray: "We are? Yeah, right. What idiot fed you that lie?"
There was a moment of silence as Lucy looked over at Mirajane. She was smiling until she started crying. Mizu started whacking Gray on his head as he freaked out and tried to stop Mirajane from crying.
Gray: "Oh, you're not an idiot, Mira."
Lucy: "Smooth move, Gray."
Elfman: "I'll hand it to Natsu and Gray. They're tough little dues. But neither of them is even close to being the strongest. There are guys in Fairy Tail who are stronger than both of them combined. Like this guy!"
He pointed to himself, and they all looked at him blankly. Then Levy, Jet, and Droy walked over to them.
Levy: "Calling Erza the strongest woman in the guild is a pretty safe bet.'
Jet: "As far as the guys it's a tough call but I'd bet on Laxus or Mystogn!"
Mizu laughed and they looked up at the seven-year-old confused.
Mizu: "Nah, that's Gildarts!"
They all started to laugh as they nodded their heads.
Mira: "All I meant was the three of them work well together and they have the best team chemistry in all of Fairy Tail."
They all looked over at her confused as to why she believed that, especially with how many fights Natsu and Gray get into.
Lucy: "Okay, and this is coming from the same person who sent me on a mission to keep Natsu and Gray from killing each other when Erza wasn't around."
Mizu giggled and nodded her head.
Elfman: "Gotta say. I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns out."
Gray: "Oh, yeah? I'm sure she will end up mopping the floor with him."
Soon the fight started, and Erza summoned her Flame Empress Armor.
Macao: "That's Flame Empress Armor. Good choice against fire magic."
Laki: "So now Natsu's flames will only be half as effective."
Wakaba: "Come on Erza, at least give the kid a fighting chance."
Happy: "Put me down for Erza in the first round.'
They looked at Happy shocked that he was betting against his own friend like that.
Mizu: "Hey, why are you betting against Su-Su!?"
Lucy: "Why are you guys picking sides!? I don't want either of them to lose!"
Mizu looked down at Lucy bored.
Mizu; "It's a friendly fight Loony, it's not like a fight to the death."
Gray chuckled and nodded his head. Lucy looked up at the seven annoyed that she got her name wrong, like her father does.
Gray: "She's right, Lucy. get into the spirit."
Mizu looked back at the fight to see her father smirk.
Natsu: "Wow, Flame Empress Armor, huh? Good news for me. That means I can turn up the heat as high as I want to!"
Makarov: "Round one! Start!"
Just as the fight started, it was stopped by some frog person banging on a gong. Which got everyone's attention.
Frog: "This fight is over. May I have your attention please."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over at the frog person confused.
Frog: "I have come here on behalf of the Magic Council."
Everyone looked at the frog person shocked and started to freak out.
Levy: "No way!"
Jet: "Seriously!?"
Droy: "Why would the council send her here!?"
Lucy: "Am I the only one who noticed she's a frog!?"
Mizu looked at her confused because she had a talking bull, a talking fish, a talking crab, and had seen Happy talk and fly.
Frog: "As a result of the Eisenwald incident a member of your guild has been charged with ten counts of criminal property damage done to the conference hall. Erza Scarlet, you are under arrest."
Everyone gasped as they looked at the frog person shocked. Gray put Mizu down to the ground. Erza was arrested much to everyone's shock and confusion. What they didn't see was Mizu sneak away from everyone and follow after them.
(Time skip brought to you by a chibi Mizu following chibi Erza and a Chibi frog person)
Inside the Magic Council Fiore Branch building. Erza walked down a hallway with magic cuffs around her wrists as the frog lady walked in front of her. Mizu was quietly following after them when they suddenly stopped walking. She stopped walking and peeked her head around Erza to see a guy leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed. He looked over at them and smirked at Erza.
Erza: "Siegrain!"
The frog lady bowed as the man known as Siegrain got off the pillar and walked over to them. Mizu looked at him nervously.
Sigrain: "It's been a while Erza, please relax. I'm only here in spirit. I'm sending this projection from Era. All the wrinkled faces in the courtroom are projections. We didn't think it was necessary to be here or such a trivial matter."
Erza glared at him, and Mizu looked at him confused. He took notice of the small child and smirked at her.
Erza: "I see, so you're the one behind this farce!? You make me sick!"
He walked towards them and stopped next to Erza. Mizu looked at him and watched as he whispered something in her ear, which caused her to freeze up and look at him scared. Mizu looked at her worried.
Siegrain: "Let's be civil, I've always been a staunch defender of Fairy Tail, but the elders are worried the blame for Clover's destruction will fall in their laps, and the only way to avoid that is to place the blame on someone else entirely. You're their scapegoat."
She glared at him as he smirked at her.
Siegrain: "Well, I must be off and join my colleagues on the council, I will see you shortly on the other side. Oh...and it appears you have a small spy."
He smirked down at Hana before disappearing. Erza looked behind her at the floor and her eyes widened once she saw Mizu.
Erza: "Mizu!? What are you doing here!?"
Mizu frowned as she looked down at the ground, knowing Erza was upset with her.
Mizu: "I wanted to come save you."
Erza looked down at her shock as the frog person stood up and looked at Erza shocked.
Frog: "Oh wow...you know some very important people."
Erza tensed up and Mizu looked at her worried.
Erza: "He's evil."
Mizu looked at her confused before looking back at where Siegrain left. She didn't understand how he could be evil when he was defending their guild. They started walking down the hall again.
(Time skip brought to you by a Chibi Mizu walking down a hall with a chibi Erza and a chibi frog person)
Erza and Mizu stood in the courtroom in front of the judges who sat on chairs that were on a high floor above them. They were shocked to see the little girl, but Erza explained why she was there.
Frog: "This courtroom will now come to order! In front of us is the defendant Erza Scarlet. Erza Scarlet, you stand before the Council to answer charges stemming from the incident involving the dark guild Eisenwald. These charges include extensive damage to Oshibana station, the damage to the Reyosia Goroge railway bridge, and the destruction of the Clover meeting hall. There are eleven property damage charges against you. According to eyewitness reports the perpetrator is described as a young woman with long red hair."
Suddenly there was a giant explosion that came from behind them, and they looked over to the wall shocked and confused.
Man: "What is this!?"
Just then Natsu jumped in, wearing a long red wig, wearing some makeshift armor. He started breathing fire as he shouted.
Natsu: "I'm the crazy lady in magic you old timers have been looking for! If you've got a problem with the way me and my guild do things, you can fight me!"
He shouted as they looked at him in disbelief. Mizu giggled at her father's antics.
Natsu: "I am the all-powerful Erza! You thought I was destructive before, well you ain't seen nothing yet!"
He started destroying stuff and they looked at him shocked. Mizu giggled and clapped her hands, cheering her father on.
Natsu: "Do you think the stuff I destroyed is more important than the guild master's lives!?"
He pointed up at them and smirked as if he won. Mizu giggled and Erza bowed her head.
Erza: "I'm truly sorry for this, your honor."
Natsu looked at her shocked and annoyed that she was apologizing to them.
Natsu: "What are you doing, Erza!? Don't apologize to these council jerks! Oops! I mean I am Erza!"
He still breathed some little flames as they were escorted to a cell. Mizu giggled as Erza started ripping into her father.
Erza: "Words can't explain how angry I am with you. That trial was just a formality."
He looked at her shocked.
Natsu: "Seriously!?"
Erza: "It's a glorified spectacle. The council is using me as an example to remind everyone that if you break the law, you will be punished. It helps them maintain order in the magical world."
He looked at her shocked.
Natsu: "Wait a minute, so this is all for show?"
Erza: "It was until you came bursting in and destroying things!"
He looked at her shocked before looking down at the ground, in guilt.
Natsu: "I'm sorry. I noticed Mizu was missing and Happy told me she followed you guys and I got worried."
Erza looked at Natsu shocked. Mizu giggled and crawled over to her father and crawled into his lap. She hugged him and he hugged her back. Erza's eyes softened as she sighed.
Erza: "It's okay. You meant well."
He smiled and nodded his head.
(Time skip brought to you by a Chibi Natsu, Mizu, and Erza sitting in a jail cell)
They were now back at the guild and Mizu was sitting at a table with Lucy as her father was cheering about being back.
Natsu: "Who would have thought fresh air could smell so sweet! I'm going to breathe it in all day! It's the sweet smell of freedom!"
He ran around the guild happily, as everyone looked at him annoyed.
Jet: "Shut up!"
Natsu: "I will never take it for granted again!"
Droy: "Put a sock in it, man!"
Mira: "Isn't he precious when he gets all excited?"
Mizu giggled and nodded her head.
Lucy: "I can't believe that stupid arrest and trial were just for show. And I can't believe none of us saw Mizu leave with them. All of that worrying for nothing."
Gray: "So she wasn't a sacrifice lab, but a scapegoat."
Mizu nodded her head as Elfman looked over at Natsu.
Elfman: "Hey Natsu! You going to finish going man to man with Erza?!"
Lucy groaned as Natsu looked over at Erza and smirked.
Natsu: "So what do you say, Erza? Want to fight me?!"
Erza: "I'm not in the mood."
He didn't listen to her as he generated flames on his left fist and charged at her.
Natsu: "I'm not letting you off the hook that easy!"
She sighed before punching Natsu in the stomach. He gasped as he fell to the ground. Erza glared down at him, annoyed.
Erza: "How was that? You satisfied?"
Happy: "And he's out!"
Everyone started to laugh, and Mizu yawned, starting to feel tired.
Mira: "Sir, is something wrong?"
Makarov: "I'm fine, just sleepy. He's coming."
Lucy looked at him confused before everyone in the guild started dropping like flies. Once everyone was asleep, the doors to the guild opened up, and in walked a man wearing heavy clothing. He walked over to the request board.
Makarov: "Mystogan?"
Mystogan walked over to the guild master with a job request in his hands.
Mystogan: "I shall return.'
He turned around to leave.
Makarov: "No wait. Lift your sleeping spell before you leave."
He nodded his head and started counting as he left the guild hall. Once he was out of the doors, everyone started to wake back up. Mizu yawned as she stretched.
Droy: "Oh man. Was Mystogan here? What a jerk!"
Levy: "Does he have to put us to sleep every time he comes here?"
Lucy looked at them confused.
Lucy: "Who's this Mystogan guy?"
Elfman: "For one, he's a contender for Fairy Tail's strongest wizard."
She looked at him shocked.
Lucy: "Really?"
Gray: "Yeah, and for some reason he doesn't want anybody to see what he looks like. So, whenever he comes here to take a job, he casts a sleeping spell."
Lucy looked over at Gray, creeped out by that.
Lucy: That's kind of creepy."
Gray: "Master Makarov is the only person here who has ever gotten a good look at his face."
Laxus: "That's not true. I've seen him before."
Everyone looked up to see Laxus on the second floor of the guild. They looked at him shocked.
Elfman: "Laxus! Talk about rare!"
Wakaba: "You're never here!"
Mizu grinned and she started jumping up and down.
Mizu: "Laxus hey!"
Laxus looked down at the small seven-year-old and softly smiled.
Gray: "And he's another contender."
Laxus: "Mystogan is just a little shy. You should all respect his privacy."
Natsu suddenly jumped up and looked up at Laxus. He has somewhat of a rivalry with him since his daughter looks up to him and he doesn't like that. He doesn't want Laxus's cocky attitude to rub off his daughter.
Natsu; "Alright Laxus! You and me! Right now!"
They all looked at him shocked, because he had just lost a fight to Erza, and now he wanted to fight Laxus.
Gray: "Getting your butt kicked once wasn't enough!?"
Laxus: "Yeah, pal. If you can't even win against redhead here, why bother with me?"
Erza glared at him, annoyed.
Erza: "What are you trying to say, Laxus?"
Laxus: "I'm saying that I'm the guild's strongest wizard."
Mizu: "No, that's Gildarts!"
Natsu let out a laugh as Laxus looked annoyed, but everyone knew that was true.
Natsu: "Then come down here and prove it!"
Laxus: "You come to me, little man."
Natsu: "With pleasure!"
He jumped into the air and went to attack Laxus, but Makarov extended his arm and hit Natsu before he could reach Laxus.
Makarov: "You're not allowed on the second floor, Natsu. At least not yet."
Laxus smirked as he looked down at Natsu. Mizu ran over to her father to make sure he was okay.
Laxus: "I think you made him grumpy."
Natsu: "Shut up!"
Makarov: "That's enough out of you, Laxus."
Laxus: "The most powerful one in the guild isn't a chick or some hooded weirdo. Do you want to know what the strongest wizard looks like?"
Mizu: "A drunk wearing a cape!"
Everyone paused, but soon they started to laugh, knowing she was talking about Gildarts. Laxus frowned, looking annoyed.
Laxus: "No! You're looking at him!"
He pointed to himself before leaving. Mizu helped her father up and they walked over to a table. Natsu was lost in thought thinking of an idea. But then suddenly Happy flew over to them with something in his hand. They looked at him confused.
Natsu: "What do you got there, little buddy?"
Happy: "A S-Class job request!"
They looked at Happy shocked before looking at the job request.
Natsu: "Whoa, getting rid of a curse on an island!? Wait...seven million jewels!?"
Happy grinned and nodded his head. Mizu started getting excited.
Mizu: "Can I come Daddy!?"
Natsu looked at her shocked and shook his head. He knew how dangerous an S-Class job request was, and he didn't feel it was safe to bring his daughter along on one. Mizu looked at him shocked and annoyed.
Mizu: "Why not!?"
Natsu: "Sweetheart, this is an S-Class job request. it's dangerous."
Mizu: "Why do you always leave me behind!?"
Natsu looked at her shocked as she started to cry. This freaked him out.
Natsu: "H... Hey, stop crying, sweetheart! I'm sure we can find another job request safe for you to tag along some other time!"
Mizu: "But I don't want to go on smaller jobs! They're boring!"
Natsu: "But they're safe Mizu. You know your mother would kill me if anything happened to you."
Mizu sighed and nodded her head, but she started crying even more. Soon a rainstorm came out of nowhere and Natsu sighed, knowing it was because of his daughter's crying. He needed to get her to stop before someone figured out what was happening.
Mizu: "Do you and Mommy does not believe in my magic power!?"
He looked at her shocked as she cried even harder. he sighed knowing what he was about to do...he would regret it. He knew his wife would murder him for this.
Natsu: "Fine. Fine. You can tag along."
Han stopped crying and grinned in excitement. Happy looked at him unsure.
Happy: "Are you sure Natsu?"
Natsu sighed and nodded his head.
Natsu: "Yes But you have to promise me to stay by my side at all times. Okay?"
She grinned and nodded her head. He tucked the piece of paper into his pocket before picking her up. They walked out of the guild and headed to Lucy's apartment to get her to join them on this mission.
(Time skip brought to you by a chibi Mizu crying)
They were inside Lucy's room. The boys were on her bed working out as Mizu was drawing on Lucy's floor. The door opened and Lucy walked into her room. She looked at them shocked.
Natsu: "Welcome home!"
Happy: "Sup!"
Lucy screamed as she kicked the boys out of her bed.
Lucy: "Why don't you jerks work out at your own house!? And Natsu, can you stop your daughter from coloring on my floor!?"
Natsu looked over to his daughter and sighed. He walked over to her and picked her up.
Happy: "Now, Lucy, if we want to work together like a team, we got to train like one. We thought you would like the pink dumbbell."
He held out a pink dumbbell to her and she looked at him annoyed.
Lucy: "I don't care what color it is! I am not lifting weights with you!"
Natsu: "We got to pick it up a notch if we want to beat Laxus and Erza."
Happy: "Aye, sir!"
They then started doing push-ups with Mizu sitting on her father's back. Lucy looked at the annoyed.
Lucy: "I just want a little peace and quiet. Now get out!"
Natsu: "Don't worry we will train quietly Lucy."
Lucy: "Why does this kind of stuff always happen to me?"
Natsu then stopped doing push-ups and Mizu got off his back. He stood up and looked at Lucy with a smirk.
Natsu: "I've made a decision. Our team is ready for the big time."
Lucy looked at him confused.
Natsu: "S-Class!"
Lucy looked at Natsu shocked and confused.
Happy: "Yeah Check it out!"
He suddenly pulled out a request flyer and Lucy saw the stamp that said S-Class on it. She looked at him shocked and confused.
Lucy: "How did you get that!?"
Happy: "Well, I just climbed the stairs and took it!"
She looked at him shocked.
Lucy: "You little cat burglar!"
Natsu: "Since this is our first S-Class quest, we decided to go with the smallest reward we found on the board. But seven million is still a lot of jewels."
Lucy: "We are not ready for it. If the master knew, we had this job request he would be furious!"
Natsu: "Yeah, but I think he will end up being proud of us if we pull it off."
Lucy: "You know, this may be the dumbest thing you have ever done, Natsu. If you want to raise the ranks you should try following the guild's rules."
Natsu: "Geez. We're never going to make S-Class with that kind of attitude."
Mizu giggled and nodded her head. Lucy looked at him annoyed.
Lucy: "You can handle this on your own. I'm staying right here."
Happy; "But the job is saving a tropical island."
Lucy: "Really?"
Natsu and Happy smirked as they got in Lucy's face with creepy smirks.
Natsu/Happy: "It's the Cursed Island of Galuna."
They said that in a ghostly voice which only freaked Lucy out even more.
Lucy: "No way. Definitely not going now."
Happy: "I'll give you half of the fish I catch."
Lucy: "What kind of incentive is that supposed to be."
Natsu looked at her, before sighing.
Natsu: "Fine, we're out of here."
Happy: "Aye."
Natsu picked up his daughter and jumped out of the window along with Happy. Lucy shouted at them about using the door. They walked down the street. Mizu was being carried by her father when she noticed something.
Mizu: "Daddy...where did the job request go?"
Natsu smirked as Lucy ran out of her house and ran over to them.
Lucy: "Hey! Wait up, you, guys! I decided to come along!"
Natsu looked over at her and smirked. Mizu looked at her father shocked as she finally understood where the job request went.
Mizu: "Daddy, that was a dirty move."
He snickered and nodded his head. Lucy finally caught up to them with the job request in her hands.
Lucy: "Wait...is Mizu coming with us?"
Natsu smirked and nodded his head. Lucy looked unsure about that, but they ran off down the street. Heading to where the island was.
