Disclaimer: I do not own Godzilla or Fairy Tail. I only own the OCs Jack & Markus Reeves.
Before Jack even realized it, a week had passed since his arrival in this world and him joining Fairy Tail. Time passed quickly when you were training, going on quests with Natsu and Lucy, and also dealing with the antics of his guildmates, especially Natsu and Gray. Although, when Natsu figured out Jack was strong, he kept on challenging him to a fight much to the annoyance of the newly dubbed 'Titan-Slayer'.
Apparently some of the guild members thought Jack's circumstance and powers was similar to that of Dragon-Slayers, so they dubbed him the Titan-Slayer which offended Godzilla for the first few days but he got over it when he saw it didn't really mean that... least Jack hoped so. He still wondered whether the Dragon-Slayer title means actual dragonslayers.
But then again, considering Natsu's adoptive father was a dragon, he doubted it very much. It was most likely just a title because Dragon-Slayers are raised by dragons.
Surprisingly, the arrival of Jack has brought down the number of fighting that occurred in the guild. When there was a fight, Jack really didn't do anything to stop it... unless he was wanting peace and quiet, or had an object accidentally thrown at him.
The lesson was quickly learned; don't disturb Jack while he's sleeping.
"I can't believe we did all of that for nothing," Jack groaned, as he, Natsu, Lucy and Happy sat at a table. The team, which Natsu had dubbed them after they went to help Macao out, had just gotten back from another job... one that they didn't get paid for.
"Well, it wouldn't have been right to accept the reward for the job," Lucy replied. The mission was to help a man by the name of Kaby Melon by finding a book called Daybreak, and afterward, burn it. However, the book was being held by a man named Everlue and his very ugly maids. The team broke in and took back the book. But in a twist, the Daybreak book was meant for the job client and not for Everlue as originally intended, so despite Lucy wanting to, she and the others couldn't accept the reward.
"I guess we should try and find another job," Natsu grumbled with his head on the table.
"Aye! We're running out of food money!" Happy said, chowing down on a fish.
"Next time, I'm going solo on a quest." Jack muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose. He was busy trying to get himself a place in Magnolia, since he currently slept in either the guild hall or in the river. Mirajane commented how he couldn't just sleep underwater all the time, which got Jack into looking for a place decent enough to buy and call home... but to no avail.
"We should look at the request board to see what we could do for money," Jack said, standing up from his seat. Mirajane walked over to them after serving a table.
"Well let me know if you find one you're interested in taking on. The Master's away on a conference so I'm covering for him," she said with her usual smile.
Confused, Jack tilted his head and blinked. Lucy was also confused and raised an eyebrow. "What kind of conference?"
"One for guild masters. It's like the Magic Council, but not." This confused Jack even more. Figuring that it was a bit difficult for him to understand, Mirajane tapped her finger on her chin as she thought of a better way to explain things to him and Lucy. Snapping her fingers, she turned to another wizard. "Excuse me, Reedus, can I borrow a Light Pen?"
"Oui," said a tall man sporting curly, light orange hair with a distinctly large torso. He handed her a Light Pen. The pen took the form of a normal-looking, light-colored pen with an arched clip, with its end adorned with a small sphere. Its most distinctive trait is its glowing nib, which was light, prominent and somehow rounded in appearance, made of unknown material which allowed the pen to use its special ability; enabling the user to write in the air around them.
So Mirajane hummed happily as she drew a diagram in the air. After finishing the top of her diagram, the white-haired beauty started explaining to the Celestial Wizard and Titan-Slayer "The Magic Council, Era, is the most powerful organization in the magical world. One step below the government. They're run by the ten coucil members who's job is to uphold all magical rules and regulations. And if a wizard breaks magical law, it'll be tried by the council." Mirajane then pointed down at three boxes that were labeled with Local Guild Master League and the multiple other boxes that readout Guild. "Then there's the different Guild Master Leagues, which are local groups that work together. Then the individual masters; it's their job to uphold the decisions of the council. They also communicate with other guild masters on a regular basis. I guess you can say they're the glue that's holding us all together, which is a pretty stressful job."
"I had no idea that all the guilds were connected like that," Lucy mused.
"Connections between the guilds are important. If you neglect these, the system would fall apart," Mirajane explained, writing in the air again.
"And then people from the darkness will come to get you!" Natsu suddenly appeared behind Lucy, speaking in a dark and sinister tone that made Lucy jump with a frightened scream. Jack wasn't startled by the pink-haired male, and deadpanned as he threw his head back and chuckled. "That was too easy," Natsu said, even when Lucy glared at him.
"But seriously, the guys Natsu's talking about exist," said Mirajane. Jack turned back to her and saw that she'd written a box labeled as Dark Guild. "They're the Dark Guilds. They've chosen not to join any of the leagues. They're the bad apples and most are involved in magic crimes."
Jack's eyes slightly narrowed in a scowl. "Then I'll have to keep an eye out for them," he said.
This, however, gave Natsu and idea that lit a fire in his eyes. With a look of excitement, he pointed at Jack and called out. "Alright, Jack! You and me! I challenge you to a fight!"
Jack sighed in irritation, a sentiment shared by everyone who heard Natsu's challenge... though some were hoping Jack would accept just so they can see who's the strongest between the two. "Natsu... that's the fourth time this week you'be challenged me to a fight. The answer is still the same; no. Why the hell do you even want to fight me?"
"Oh, come on! Isn't it obvious?!" Natsu exclaimed, clenching his fist. "I wanna see who's the strongest!"
"Well, that's already decided." Godzilla said firmly, making Jack smile at his dad's confidence and faith in his strength. "though, you are the Prince of the Monsters and are being challenged. You shouldn't dismiss it so easily, boy."
'Okay, my friend is challenging me to a fight and you want me to encourage him? Besides, something tells me he'll keep coming back for more after I beat him the first time.' Jack replied mentally, rolling his eyes before he looked at Natsu. "The answer's still no. We're a team, right Lucy?"
"Sorry, but no," Lucy said, much to the shock of Natsu and Jack. "As far as I'm concerned, our team's disbanded. And besides, you guys didn't actually want me. You only needed me because I'm a blonde."
Jack deadpanned at her. Is that all she really thought she was worth? "Don't be ridiculous. We didn't pick you because of that. We picked you because you're so nice," Natsu said with a grin. Lucy, however, was still unconvinced.
"You don't have to force yourselves to team up with anyone, especially with those losers, you two," said a cool voice from a table behind them. The disbanded team turned around to see Gray sitting at a table nearby Cana. "You'll get plenty of offers from other teams."
"Your clothes, Gray," Cana pointed out, to which the young man panicked. Sam was looked at her, and when Cana saw this, she winked at him. He blushed averted his eyes.
"Jerk," Natsu said with a scowl.
Gray suddenly got up and grabbed Natsu by his scarf. The two butted heads and glared at each other. "Did you just call me a jerk, dragon boy?!"
"And what if I did? What are you going to do about it?" Natsu shot back.
"You mouthbreather!"
"At least I'm not a coward!"
"You're a spineless wimp!"
Jack grabbed them by their heads then slammed them together, dazing them before they dropped to the floor. "Knock it off, you knuckleheads."
"They are just as bad as Angurius and Rodan." Godzilla groaned. Oh, the headaches he had when those two argued with each other over the most simplest of things, leaving him to step in and whack the two of them with his tail out of pure annoyance. Some times he'd almost kill them bot Mothra would step in to prevent that, she was always the peace keeper.
Meanwhile, with Lucy, Loke had sauntered over to her to flirt. "Why don't you join the Team of Love with me, Lucy? Just the two of us?" He said, trying to seduce her and adjust his glasses. Lucy however, looked rather uncomfortable. "You're just so stunningly gorgeous. I have to keep my shades on when I look at you, or I'll be blinded by your dazzling beauty."
Lucy was anything but impressed. She instead looked annoyed at him. "Girls really fall for this?" she asked, moving her hip slightly, but enough to make her keys clink together.
When Loke saw them his cool, womanizer persona vanished in an instant and reacted by jumping back in a panic. As if Lucy was going to attack him in some way. "You're not a Celestial Wizard, are you!?"
"Yup! She's got crabs, cows, and fish!" Happy replied, chewing on a fish.
"CURSE YOU FATE! WHY MUST YOU TOY WITH ME SO!?" Loke yelled over dramatically and ran out of the guildhall with tears falling out of his eyes and a horrified look on his face. "I'M SORRY, BUT WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER, MY DEAR!"
Lucy just stood there with a look of confusion. Jack saw the interaction and was just as bewildered by the orange-haired boy's reaction. "What's his problem?" he asked.
"Loke has a bad history with Celestial Wizards. Rumor has it that he dated one and it didn't end well," Mirajane said with a smile.
"Right, that's the reason he ran away," Jack said with a teasing smirk.
"Aye!" Happy said.
"Shut your mouth, cat! And up yours, Jack!" Lucy exclaimed, glaring at the two.
Natsu rushed back over to Jack. "Alright! That's it! You're going down, Jack!" He yelled, having two big lumps on his head, still wanting to fight the Titan-Slayer.
"Geez, will you give it a rest, fire-brain?" Gray said, with two very similar lumps on his head. "He'd kick your ass, anyway."
"Where are your clothes?" Cana pointed out, and the blue-haired wizard freaked out again. The guild laughed at their antics and didn't seem all too upset this time. She then turned to the Titan-Slayer. "Just do it. He's not gonna stop bugging you about it until you do. And then I can get back to drinking in peace," she said, before lifting up a barrel and drank from it.
Jack turned back to Natsu, who was still staring at him with excitement. He didn't see that point in fight if he didn't have to, but if it'll get him to stop, then he didn't have a choice.
Before Jack could finally give in and accept the challenge, the doors slammed open and Loke came running back in, panting and out of breath. Everyone looked at him as he sweated on his panicked expression.
"What the hell's wrong with you?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I-It's her..." Loke replied panting. "IT'S HER! ERZA'S BACK!"
When hearing this revelation, everyone in the guild either gasped, shuddered, or screamed in a fit of panic. Shocked and were trembling in their own skin and the guildhall became very quiet. Natsu and Gray more so, as their faces paled with looks of horror.
Jack and Lucy were confused by their reaction. "What's with everyone," Sam asked Mirajane, who wasn't at all scared and was still smiling.
"Well, Erza is the strongest female wizard we've got in Fairy Tail," Mirajane answered sincerely. "And she can be a bit intimidating."
Jack raised an eyebrow. Surely this Erza person couldn't be all that bad, right? His ears then picked up the sound of metallic footsteps and his eyes widened. The air around the guild went cold, as he could sense someone very powerful and dangerous approaching the guild. On instinct, he gripped his katana and flicked it slightly out of it's scabbard with his thumb.
And then the person came walking into the guild, and the glowing stopped. Jack's heart stopped and his eyes widened as he laid eyes on the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Erza was a beautiful young woman with long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. She had a slender, voluptuous figure that could rival Mirjane with a small waist and large breasts. However, her figure was covered in, interestingly, a custom-made armor by Heart Kreuz smiths, a blue skirt, black boots, and diamond-shaped silver earrings. Her Fairy Tail stamp is blue and is located on the middle of her left upper arm.
'W-Wow...' Jack thought, entranced and in awe. He heard a chuckle from Godzilla and sighed. Yep, redheads happened to be his type and now Godzilla was not going to leave him alone about it.
As she walked into the guild while carrying a massive horn that was decorated in hand, Erza had a look on her face that would massacre the guild. Her face held a strong, firm, and fierce expression with a highly regarded demeanor in her eyes.
Setting the horn down, Erza addressed the rest of the guild. "I have returned. Where's Master Makarov?" she asked, glancing around at the now-silent wizards, slightly irritated that no one was answering her question.
"Welcome back, Erza. The Master's at a conference right now," Mirajane said happily, still one of only two people that weren't afraid of her. Sam being the other one.
"I see," said Erza with a nodded.
"So um, what's that thing you've got," asked a member named Max.
"It's the horn of a monster that I defeated. The locals were so thankful that they decorated it and gave it to me as a trophy," she said before giving him a sharp glare. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"N-No! Not at all!" Max shuddered, along with everyone else at his table.
Then Erza turned back to the guild and placed her hands on her hips and glared at several members. "Now listen up, guys. I've heard you've been causing trouble again and this guild's been getting rowdy lately. Master Makarov may not care, but I do. This guild needs to get its priorities straight." And then she started to reprimand some of the members. Starting with Cana. "Cana!" The brunette was startled. "You need to start controlling your drinking!" She then turned to another member that was always dancing. "Vijeeter! Please take the dancing outside!" Then to Wakaba. "Wakaba! Get rid of that filthy habit! Nab! Are you still hanging around the request board? Just pick a job already! Macao!"
Erza stared at Macao, but didn't say anything for several minutes and just looked at the older wizard. "Please say something!" Maceo exclaimed desperately.
"I don't know where to begin with you," Erza sighed, placing a hand on her forehead, shaking her head in frustration.
"She's really tearing into everyone," Jack said in a low tone. "Is this how everyone else got around you?"
"Oh yeah." Godzilla said with a small smirk. "Makarov is master, but she's an alpha predator. Enforcing discipline on a rowdy pack to ensure order. Be careful you don't upset her."
"She doesn't seem that bad," Jack said. "She's pretty and at the very least is saner than everyone else here."
Erza overhead Jack talking to Godzilla, and turned towards him. Jack noticed this and stared back at her as she approached him. Looking up at the towering Titan-Slayer with a hard expression. Some of the other wizards started to go paler as they thought Jack was as good as dead.
"You mind telling me who you are and want you're doing here?" She inquired, scowling at him. Jack, however, was not intimidated.
"Jack Reeves." He introduced himself.
"He's new here." Mirajane said, coming to the Titan-Slayer's defence. "And he's... quite an interesting case."
Erza looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
"He's from another world and is the host of a giant monster that grants him powers almost similar to Natsu's but it's not really fire." Mirajane said, frowning as she tried to understand what Jack had explained. They witnessed him conjure the blue, Atomic power in his hand and it looked like a flame but Jack said it wasn't fire, but energy.
Erza's eyebrows shot up in surprise and she looked at Jack who nodded to confirm this was true. Erza knew Mirajane wouldn't lie or make something like that up, so she took her word for it as truth and struck her hand out.
"Erza Scarlet, nice to meet you." The beautiful redhead said with a smile. Jack smiled and shook her hand. "Well, I guess you can help me then."
This left the others lost for words as they stared at the red-haired woman in shock. This was the first time that she'd come across someone that wasn't afraid of her and also asked someone to team up with her. Jack noticed everyone's reaction and said, "I'd take it's something very serious."
"It is. While traveling, I overheard something that has me worried. Normally, I would consult the Master, but seeing that he's not here, I have no other option but to take action and act upon myself. I'll need help, and you really are as powerful as Mirajane said, then I can really use your help, plus it will let me see your abilities for myself," She told the Titan-Slayer and then turned towards Happy. "Where are Natsu and Gray?"
"Aye." Happy pointed at the boys. Natsu and Gray were hugging each other with one arm around each other's neck and shook the other's hand. Forced smiles on their faces and acting like they were the best of friends. However, it was because they were absolutely terrified of her, so this was just a front they put on to evade her wrath.
"Right here, Erza! Being the greatest friend that I can be!" Gray said, smiling while trembling.
"Aye!" Natsu said.
"NATSU TURNED INTO HAPPY!" Lucy exclaimed, freaking out how they were acting drastically different than what they were a minute ago. Even Jack was thinking it was a little crazy to see that two acting like best friends, even though he had to hold them upside down and bash their heads together to get them to stop fighting a few minutes ago.
"I see...best friends do fight every once and a while," said Erza, nodding her head with a smile. "But I'd much rather see you two get along all the time."
"I'm not sure if you could call us the best friends," Gray admitted, too terrified to move an inch.
"Aye!" Natsu agreed.
"Geez. What did she do to them," Sam asked.
Mirajane used the Light Pen to create a diagram of Natsu and Erza, grinning all the way. "A couple of years ago, Natsu challenged Erza to a fight and was beaten up very badly," she explained.
"That was a stupid thing to do," Lucy said.
"After that, she found Gray walking around naked, so she decided to beat him up too," said Macao said with a smirk
"And let's not forget she beat up Loke for tried to hit on her," Cana added with a sly smile. That one sounded justified when considering how he was hitting on Lucy in a perverted way.
"Listen, you two," Erza said, looking at Jack, Natsu, and Gray with a serious expression. "This is important and you two are the strongest wizards here. I want you to come with me and Jack to help us on this mission. Meet me tomorrow at the station, tomorrow morning. Don't be late." This was again met with shock from the other members of the guild and they started murmuring to each other. Jack was a big surprise, but for Erza to ask Natsu and Gray to be on the same team, that was surprising as well.
The two friends turned to look at each other.
'Natsu and I?!' Gray though in disbelief.
'On the same team?' Natsu though.
"Natsu, Gray, and Erza on the same team? I never saw that one coming. But Jack too?" Mirajane said in a low tone. Her eyes then widened in shock. Although she's yet to see the Titan-Slayer's power in action, from what Lucy told her, the white-haired barmaid knew that he was on another level. Jack could become one of the strongest wizards in the guild. But when combined with Erza, Gray, and Natsu, they could become invincible. "This could be...the strongest team in Fairy Tail."
And that's it for this chapter. Don't worry, they'll get much longer very soon. I'm trying to not make them too long as I did in the first version... though I'm trying to avoid putting in as many chapters as I did for the Oracion Seis Arc, seriously that was a mess. I had like eleven chapters for one arc.
