Hey, Fairy Tail fans, and welcome back to a Fairy Tail re-told; I'm here with the next chapter of my story, so if you don't mind giving my story a nice review, it would be really kind.
Anyway, now, should I make a joke or not?
You'll find out in the next episode [looks at the script for a second]. Um, guys, I think we mixed up the scripts!
Oh, hell with it; start the story. I'll be right back.
Deep in the desert, a man and woman walk over to what appear to be footprints; the man bends down his long black hair that covers the right part of his face. "Yep, they were here, but it's been several days."
"Well, what do we do," the female asked, her green hair falling over her shoulder as she crossed her arms over her black dress.
"We had back and give our report."
"We're heading back!" the girl screamed.
The two then rode off. Their names were Alzack Connell and Bisca Mulan, and as they returned to Magnolia, they both carried hearts of uncertainty.
"Are you sure they went into Clover Canyon," Mira asked as she started pacing the pub floors.
"Don't look at me, Mira. I was ready to go after them," Bisca answers, "I think someone's getting soft on me."
"I know you're worried, but Clover Canyon is a death trap," Alzack explained, "even with someone from a hunter's guild to guide you, it would swallow you up and never spit you out."
"Okay then, the real question is, why would they go in there if it's a dangerous maze of canyons," Bisca asked, looking at Mira.
"I don't know," Mira said, resting her hand on her cheek. "I don't know."
Natsu devours a village.
Happy walks up to a cliff and kicks off the pebble; he looks down as he tries to hear a sound.
This place is known as Clover Canyon, and many researchers, brave or foolish, have ventured into this vast maze of canyons only to decorate its landscape with their bones.
"Ah, Jeez," Lucy shouted as she started waving her arms around, "we've walked for forever and a half and still haven't found Magnolia yet," Lucy complained to the cat. "Why are we following a cat again? anyway."
"Hey, I wasn't lost last time, so this is the first time I got us lost," Happy retorted to the celestial wizard.
"First time or not, let's just make it the last time, okay," Lucy told the blue-haired cat, frowning.
"I'm hungry," Natsu said as he and Mavis caught up to the pair behind them, where Gray and Erza looked with concern on their faces as they walked through the landscape.
"We all are, so would you shut up about it," Gray shouted as they caught up, "and besides, couldn't you just eat your fire."
Natsu grew a face-off annoyance as he looked at Gray with angered eyes. "Are you stupid? I can't eat my flames," Natsu shouted, "that's like telling you to eat your arm."
"Why would I do that," Gray asked in shock.
"pretty much the same reason," Lucy finished. "The only type of fire Natsu can't eat is his own," Lucy explained.
"it's not the only fire I can't eat, but still," Natsu corrected her, "she's right, though."
"Are you kids keeping calm?" Mavis asked. "It's going to be a long walk back home," she said
"but I need to get food," Natsu said as he groaned.
"Jeez, will shut up," Gray shouted, "you're just making it worse, ya idiot."
"I'd like to see you make you icy freak," Natsu shouted.
"Yeah, well, bring ya, fire clown."
they soon began fighting to throw fists back and forth, one accidentally hitting Erza.
Gray stopped in complete terror as he was the one who hit Erza, and Natsu slowly started to back up slightly, giving off an 'I don't want to be you' before his head was grabbed along with Gray's, and she smashed them into each other.
"Listen, we are all hungry here," she said, standing over them, "so we all need to be level-headed-" she was interrupted when her stomach started growling.
"Your stomach is trying to tell you something," Gray said sarcastically.
"No, it's not," Erza said, denying the Ice wizards, "you're hearing things."
"You kid needs to calm down," Mavis said, slightly annoyed. "Well, get home soon enough," she said as she looked over the cliff along with Happy.
"You said that three hours ago," Natsu retorted. "Honestly, I'm getting hungrier by the second."
"AH," Happy screamed as he grew a wide smile.
"What's up with you," Natsu asked, shocked at his best friend's outburst.
"down there, look, Natsu, look," Happy shouted as the rest of the group went over to see a bunch of flying fish going over the canyon. "Those are wingfish there, a rare delicacy," Happy explained as his mouth drooled.
"You can't be serious," Lucy asked.
"You did good. Happy you've done well," Natsu said with tears in his eyes as his stomach grew even louder.
"A rare delicacy, huh," Gray asked out loud, his stomach growling again.
"Wing Fish," Erza said under her breath, her mouth drooling at the sound of food. She couldn't help herself.
"All right, guys, it's time to go fishing," Happy shouted, holding a fishing rod in one of his hands.
Soon, Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Lucy were sitting at the side of the cliff, holding fishing rods as the wingfish continued to fly over the bottom. "Come on, bite the rod, ya stupid fish Natsu moaned as he hung over the cliff.
"This better be worth it," Lucy groaned as she looked down.
"Just shut up and fish; anything edible will do," Erza groaned at the two, annoyed by their antics.
"You're that hungry, huh?" Lucy said under her breath.
"We need to fish harder, guys," Happy shouted, his face lighting up. "Come on. We can do this," the blue cat called, "Okay, I give up," Happy said, throwing his fishing rod to the ground and walking away from it.
"Wow, that was quick," Lucy said, shocked at the felines' quick downfall. "Why would you give up? You can do it, little guy," Lucy said, trying to cheer the talking cat up.
Happy looked up at the blond girl and started to run away, crying, "I can't help that I'm little." he ran away with tears in his way, shocking Lucy, who just wanted to see him smile.
After hours of sitting on the cliff, Natsu and Co could catch a single-wing fish. They all stood over the fish as it groaned, its eyes turning into X's; the fire covered the fish as its yellow and orange scales soon turned red and green.
"there ya go, Happy," Natsu moaned as he handed the fish to his small feline friend.
"But that's not fair to you guys," Happy said as he stared at the fish.
"If we were to split it up, it just makes us want more," Gray told the feline as he turned away. "Just hurry up and eat it before we change our minds.
"Okay," Happy then shoved the fish bones down his throat as his friends all turned away, groaning as the blue cat ate the wing fish without a second thought, only to spit it out seconds later, utterly disgusted by its contents.
"Really," Lucy shouted as she saw Happy attempt to clean the fish off his tongue.
[##Happy theme##]
Moments later, the group continued to walk, their hands covering their stomachs. "I hate to say it, but" Natsu started.
"all that fishing made us even hungrier," Gray finished as the group continued on their trail to Magnolia.
"Hey, look," Mavis said with glee as they approached what appeared to be a small village.
"wait, it can't be," Erza shouted.
"We all know what's in a village," Lucy shouted.
"Food," Natsu and Happy shouted as the group, excluding Mavis, ran into the village, leaving a perplexed Mavis behind. "For all they know, that could have them been having a heat stroke," she sighed as she followed the kids into the village.
As she caught up with them, she noticed the village seemed a little off, as if it were missing something. "Hey, where is everybody."
"Mabey is taking an afternoon nap," Natsu suggested. "Hey, anybody's home!" Natsu shouted as loud as he could.
"Somebody cook us some dinner!" Happy shouted afterward
"Ge'ez happy ever hear of the word, please," Lucy commented.
"That's very weird," Erza stated as she moved ahead, "even so, there should be at least a few people up and about."
"Maybe they all got drunk and passed out," Mavis suggested.
"That only happens in Magnolia, Mavis," Lucy said, sweat dropping.
"They do love their spirits, don't they," Mavis said, smiling, "it's almost reassuring."
Before anyone else could react, Natsu burst off at blazing speed. "You guys can stand here all you want, but I'm going to find a kitchen to raid," he said as he ran off.
"shame on you for even thinking of robbing this place, Natsu," Gray shouted as he caught up with the dragon slayer.
"You're just mad 'cause I thought of it first!" Natsu shouted as the two ran off.
Natsu ran up to a door and started to bang on it. "Is anybody home?" Receiving no answer, he knocked on the door even harder. "Come on. I'm dying, man," Natsu shouted as he barged in to find an empty house.
Gray followed Natsu inside. "It looks like no one's home."
Natsu looked around and noticed something on the table. "Who cares? There's food." Nasu walked up to the table with a bowl of bread and some soup lying on it. Natsu picked one up. "Open wide."
"Natsu, wait!" Erza shouted before he could put the bread in his mouth, "Isn't this strange to you."
"Yeah," Gray added, "who leaves a table full of food," Gray said as he started messing with the soup, "and where are they now."
"How should I know," Natsu told him, "ready to dig in, Happy."
"Aye," Happy answered with his mouth drooling.
"Natsu," Mavis shouted, causing the boy to freeze, "we need to investigate the village first."
Soon, the stomachs of everyone in the room started to growl, which caused Mavis to sigh. "Okay then, Lucy and Natsu, I want you to search the area around the village for mushrooms or anything edible. While you do that, Erza Gray and I will search the village."
"yeah, yeah," Natsu said as he dragged Lucy out.
"Hey, wait," Lucy shouted as she struggled to escape the dragon slayer's grip. "Come on, this isn't cool, Natsu."
"I'll go with them," Gray said. "I won't last long in here if I can't eat."
"Very well," Mavis said.
Outside the village, in a forest area, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray walked around looking for mushrooms or the least something they could eat." Man, Mavis, that food looked delicious, too," Natsu complained as he walked ahead and saw the Mushrooms.
"I was wrong. These look tasty, too," Natsu shouted as sparkles entered his eyes.
"Why mushrooms, though," Lucy asked.
"it isn't obvious, Lucy," Happy said, getting an (oh yeah) from Lucy. "Natsu will eat a poisonous Mushroom, and something weird will happen; you know the cliché, right."
"Give me some credit. Happy you think I'd fall for some lame gag like that," Natsu mumbled as he stuffed a bunch of Mushrooms in his mouth, "please."
In the village
Erza had walked around a while she noticed that few clothes had been hung up to dry; a slight breeze had brushed past her mind was all over the place; she was optimistic that Natsu and Mavis had some connection to that mysterious wizard she had hunted for the past few weeks, but it was like looking for a ghost he appeared and disappeared as he pleased.
Erza shook her head; she couldn't think about that right; she needed to focus on the village. Erza entered a house and saw Mavis looking over the steaming hot food. "It's still warm," Mavis said under her breath.
"What was that," Erza said as she approached the woman.
"It looks like it was made a few minutes ago," Mavis said, "but if that's the case, then why is this place abandoned."
Forest
"These Mushrooms are small, but if I eat a bunch of them, I'm bound to get full sooner or later," Natsu comments.
"Then you should start picking faster," Gray said as he walked up with an equal amount of Mushrooms in his mouth.
"Here comes the setup."
Natsu froze, and his eyes began to pop out as he started choking, scaring Lucy. Soon, a large red Mushroom popped out of his head. He let out a breath of air as he calmed down. "That was scary."
"Your head is scary," Lucy shouted.
"I thought it would turn purple," Happy said disappointedly.
"That's what you were hoping for!" Lucy shouted.
"what's all the commotion about," Gray asked as he appeared with a large blue Mushroom on his head.
"Just look at each other, okay?" Lucy said, walking away from the two.
Natsu and Gray to each other and soon burst out laughing at each other's mushrooms; getting a groan from Lucy behind her, Happy noticed a cartoonish giant mushroom.
In the village
Erza and Mavis meet up underneath a mushroom statue. "Find anything," Erza asked.
"No, every home has been abandoned," Mavis told her, "but there's piping hot food on every table." Mavis then stroked her chin. "I must admit I'm very perplexed. I know what's happening here but can't think of it."
"Erza looked down and noticed a perfectly cut line in the middle of the ground. "What's this?" Erza bent down and felt the mark.
"It can't be a crack," Mavis told her, "the mark is too perfect," Mavis told her as she followed the line. Then maybe."
Forest
Natsu and Gray were still laughing at their Mushrooms, and Lucy quit trying to stop them. "Come on, you guys, let's figure this out."
"Hey, look what I found," Happy shouted as he picked up the large mushroom.
"Woah, that's huge," Lucy shouted. "I don't wanna know what that does to you."
"Man, we could eat for days of that," Gray said, ignoring what happened the last time he ate one.
"Let's hold off on eating these things," Lucy said as she deadpanned; she couldn't believe they wanted to eat more of these things; however, she couldn't blame them; they were running on fumes at the most even then, she wasn't that hungry yet, but before she could react Happy shoved the large mushroom in his mouth "how could you! You have no idea what that thing does, and you still put it in your mouth, spit it out!"
"but it's yummy," Happy tells her before he swallows it, and like Natsu, his eyes start to pop out as a small brown Mushroom grows on his head.
"It looks like that's what happens to everyone who eats a mushroom," Natsu said as he looked at his friend's misfortune.
"Maybe there's some way around it," Gray asked.
"That or maybe the villager thinks it's stylish," Natsu said, smiling. "Who knows, we might be in style when we return."
Lucy giggled and looked at Natsu, and her face froze. "Um, Natsu, I think your Mushrooms are growing." Oddly enough, Natsu's mushroom had grown twice its original size and sprouted some fungus.
"Natsu always gets the good gags," Happy cried.
Meanwhile, Erza and Mavis followed the line until they found two intersecting lines. "Weird," Mavis said as she overlooked the line.
As they continued to look around, it seemed that something started growling. Mavis glanced around; it appeared to be coming from everywhere.
"What's that," Erza asked.
"It must be a," Mavis started.
Forest
Natsu, Gray, and Lucy also heard the noise. "What's that," they all asked as Natsu and Gray Mushroom started to glow before falling off.
"Hey, look, the Mushrooms fell off," Happy shouted excitedly.
"Not quite," Lucy said, smirking, "yours is still going strong."
"Huh"
An enormous roar then covered the area, scaring Lucy. "What's that," she asked.
"I don't know, but we need to find out," Nasu told her, "let's hurry and get back to the village."
"Okay"
they all ran off, forgetting about a panicking Happy who was trying to pull off his unwanted mushroom. "Come on now. This isn't as funny.
In the village
The two lines under Mavis and Erza started glowing as the ground shook. "What's going on."
"Erza, Mavis," a voice shouted; the two turned to see the voice belonging to Natsu, who ran up to them with Happy, Lucy, and Gray following them.
"what's going on?" Lucy shouted as the buildings around her glowed red, and a few started moving.
"Be careful and happy," Natsu told his feline friend.
"Aye"
"no villager," Mavis started muttering, "weirdly shaped lines and the buildings." Mavis's eyes widened, realizing, "We need to get to higher ground!" Mavis shouted, "I need to see something."
Within moments, the Wizards were all on top of a tall cliff; as Mavis looked down, she thought, confirmed by what she saw, "I don't believe it; this is an ancient spell called alive."
"What," Lucy asked.
"The evidence is clear it turns mint objects into living creatures," Mavis told them. "I do not doubt we've stumbled upon some black magic users."
"wait, a dark guild," Gray asked.
"No, these people were not wizards," Mavis explained. "I can only assume that they were trying to come up with some hair-brained scheme only for it to backfire."
"So, they were eaten by their own homes," Natsu asked in amazement. "That's crazy," Natsu's face lit up as a thought came into mind. "Wait, if they're living creatures, then that means."
Gray's face also lit as he got what Natsu said: "We can probably turn them into."
"Food!" The two shouted in unison, giving off large smirks.
"Your smirking makes your nakedness creeper, Gray," Lucy called, popping up behind the two.
Erza nodded, smiling at this point. She'd eat anything. "Let's get cooking!" she shouted.
[##against magic ost##]
"wait, is this good?" Lucy started before the three wizards jumped off the edge, entirely set with their idea.
"Should we stop them?" Lucy asked.
"I kinda wanna see where this is going," Mavis answers, "it can't be that bad."
Natsu landed in front of the monster with a giant smirk. "Hello, dinner before I eat you, let me tell you a little secret: I'm an awesome chef, and I like to flambeau"(not sure if I spelled that right)
"{Fire dragon iron fist}" Nasu struck the beast multiple times with his fire till it turned orange. "Sorry pal, but you toast," Natsu shouted as he continued to attack it. "Now that it's cooked," Natsu hit the rocks behind him and caused boulders to fall on it, "will cover him up and let him steam for a bit.
Gray landed in front of a few more monsters. "Normally, I'd save dessert for after the meal, but not today {Ice makes: Fish net} A large wave of Ice covered the monster, freezing it solid. "Anyone wanna try a monster popsicle?
Happy was trying to fight a chair; he swung at it with a small club he had found. "I don't care if you're a chair; you can't taste worse than a wing fish," Happy told the chair as it continued to strike at him blow, causing happy to jump up and cause the chair to run around wildly.
[##Titania's theme##]
Lucy had caught up with Erza, who gave the monster a death glare. "Erza," she shouted.
"Stand back," Erza told her, "it's time to get cooking."
"With what."
"{Requip} Erza's armor came off as she changed into chef armor with two giant knives as her weapon; she then struck at the monster, causing it to break into smaller sticks. "The secret is to cut them into pint small squares 5 centimeters wide."
Mavis had found a rock and decided to sit on it, her face looking a little gloomy as she heard Natsu shouting Fire dragon iron fist and Gay shout Ice make knuckle. " I saw a lot of outcomes for this, but I didn't expect this one," she said as she heard what seemed to be the last punch.
Natsu landed in front of the monster, now covered in rocks. "Time to dig in," he tore off a tentacle and was about to eat when happy, still on the chair, ran past him. "What's with happiness? I don't care how hungrier he is. He can't make it a chair."
Erza stood before her handy work smiling, "go on, Lucy; you try me first," she said.
"No way," Lucy retorted.
"Fine"
"That's cold, Erza; you were using me as your personal Guinea pig," Lucy shouted as Happy flew past them, still on his chair. "Umm, should we help him out?"
"he'll figure it out," Erza told her as she stared at the piece of the monster, taking a bit of it while Lucy looked on.
"so," Lucy asked. Erza looked up and handed her the price; she just said, "Fine," Lucy unwillingly took the monster piece and glanced at it.
Gray also took a piece of his monster. "Not pretty; let's hope it tastes better than it looks."
All three wizards but into the monster simultaneously, and all their mouths pucker up from disgust. "Gross," they all shouted.
"Mavis, you knew, didn't you?" Natsu shouted at a known-laughing Mavis.
"Yeah, kinda."
"then why'd you let us eat it?" Gray shouted, "You trying to kill us."
"I'll have to agree I wouldn't exactly call this edible," Erza said, agreeing with Gray.
"If you knew it wasn't edible, why'd you force me to eat it?" Lucy shouted behind her. Happy crashed into the side of a cliff, causing his mushroom to fall off.
"hey, your mushroom finally came off," Gray said, ignoring what had happened to the cat.
"I don't care about the Mushroom; I want to know why you guys didn't help me," Happy shouted.
"You were in trouble," Natsu asked, confused, " I thought you were goofing off."
The happy face grew pale as he backed away from his so-called friends, who started discussing what to do now. 'And here I thought we were friends.' Happy was pulled from his thoughts when another monster popped up from the ground. "Lookout," Natsu shot it with a ball of fire.
More monsters then began popping out of the ground, surrounding the wizards. "These things are disgusting," Lucy said.
"in more ways than one," Erza finished.
"We need to get out of here," Mavis told them.
"All right then," Natsu said, smirking, "we'll have to fight our way out {fire dragon roar}. Natsu shot down most of the monsters, but more popped up in their place.
Erza then squeezed into her heaven's wheel armor and sliced the monster that came up, pushing them back.
"I wanna help," Lucy shouted, "{open gate of the golden bull: Taurus} The giant cow came out of the ground and immediately grew hearts in his eyes. "You are looking smooth as usual, Ms. Lucy," he told her, "less passion, more bashing."
"She loves my Mooves." Taurus then slammed his Axe on the ground, shooting up some monsters.
"{Ice make wall}" Gray shot up a giant wall of Ice and covered the monsters in it as the wizards kept beating up the monsters more than kept coming up in their place; they all ended up in a circle surrounding the ground and began to glow as the number off monster tripled then that of before.
"So pretty," Happy said, forgetting the situation they were in
"You're missing the point again," Lucy told him, "what's going on in that mixed-up head of yours."
Soon, the ground began to crack beneath them, causing them to panic even more. "Run," Erza shouted, but it was too late as the ground beneath them shattered, and they fell into the hole.
Hours later
"Man, I'm starving," Natsu complained as the group was back to where they started roaming around, trying to figure out where they were and get home to Magnolia so they could get some food.
"I can't walk another step," Happy said, going into the air with his wings.
"Stop showing off, ya fuzzball," Gray told him.
"I'm just glad we're still alive," Lucy said, following them.
"by the way," Gray asked, facing the blond wizard, "what exactly happened."
Lucy just shrugged as she looked back to Mavis, who was trailing behind them; she had to admit she still didn't understand what the girl was.
"Master Mavis," Erza asked calmly as she approached the small girl. "I don't understand your explanation, ma'am."
Flashback
Natsu, Lucy, and Mavis stood before the now-free villagers, all on the ground, looking exhausted.
"What were you trying to pull," Natsu asked.
The people of the village flinched until a member came forward. "We...we were trying to use the magic circle to cast spells, but it turned us into those things," she told them.
"When you guys stepped into the circle, you activated it, and we lost control," another man told them.
"Uh, I ate one of those things," Lucy said, disgusted.
"Well, you won't have to worry about it happening again," Mavis said. "I hope you villagers learned your lesson; black magic isn't to be played with."
"Mavis, what do you mean," Natsu asked.
"Don't worry about Natsu," Mavis told him. "Know, as for you, villagers, I hope you never attempt anything like this again," Mavis said, refocusing her attention on the villagers.
"Yes, we never want to go through that again."
End Flashback
"When we finally beat the monster, the magic circle seemed to self-destruct on itself, and you were able to not only save us but free the villagers as well," Erza asked as she stopped alongside Gray, who had slowed down to meet her "how'd you do it."
"Hmm," Mavis stroked her chin, pondering how to tell the girl this. "Honestly, I don't know how to tell this," Mavis told her, "but you shouldn't worry yourself about it," Mavis said, giving off a warm smile.
This got weird looks from Erza and Gray as they continued to trail the three wizards to Magnolia.
"Besides, that's not the most important thing right now," Natsu said.
All four of them nodded as Mavis sighed; she would have to deal with this for a longer time.
"We're still hungry."
Me: And there's the chapter next time. It's the last chapter of the first arc, and then on to the Galuna Island arc anyway; please review and see you in the next one.
Lucy: Erza is looking for Natsu.
Mira: huh why
Lucy: Well, she doesn't know it, Natsu, but still, she's looking for the guy who destroyed the ports and many other things, if I might add.
Mira: I knew this would happen one day.
Natsu: hey, I don't believe that it's my fault.
Mira: Yes, it is.
Next time: Salamander
Lucy: I can't believe this is happening; what happens if they get into a fight?
Natsu: Aw yeah, I'm always ready for a good fight.
Mira: well, that be interesting. Natsu is the 3rd strongest Wizard in Magnolia at the moment, and Erza, from what I hear, is no slouch herself; that'd be an exciting match if I do say so Myself.
Lucy: you guys are missing the point.
