July 2, X784.
Erza and Seilah are on a train heading to Hargeon.
Hargeon is one of Fiore's ports and also one of its most beautiful old towns. The town is more prosperous and renowned for fishing rather than Magic because only 10% of the people in the town have the ability to use Magic. However, that has nothing to do with the girls' reason for going there.
"I wonder who is stupid enough to try and use Natsu's moniker," said Erza.
"Who knows, they might actually be powerful. Then again, they are probably retarded," Seilah responded.
"Ha... probably. There are lots of people who want a piece of Natsu, and Natsu would not give his location so easily," said Erza as she looked out the window.
"Yes, he likes to be the one hunting," smiled Seilah.
"What do you think he's doing?"
"Terrorizing whoever was unlucky enough to be his target… or tax evasion again." Both girls openly laughed at that.
"Yes, that time Master tried to teach us about money and how the government works and how to do taxes, when Natsu just stood there shocked until he started yelling, 'IF THE GOVERNMENT WANTS MY MONEY, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FUCKING KILL ME FOR IT!'"
"To be fair, he's got a point," said Seilah.
"NEXT STOP, HARGEON!"
"Well, this is our stop."
"Why are there so many girls fawning over there?" said Erza.
"There is Charm magic in the air," exclaimed Seilah.
"Silver-Eyes!"
"Well, we found the idiot."
Both girls walked over to the crowd.
The man is relatively tall and slim with mildly short, spiky hair jutting outwards, with a long fringe hanging over the upper left part of his face. His hair was given a dark blue shade. He possesses a mildly rectangular face with sharp features, dark eyes, and thin, dark eyebrows. His most distinctive facial feature is most likely the dark tattoo covering the right part of his forehead.
"Ladies, ladies, there's enough of me for all of you," said the man.
"What a disappointment, just some idiot," said Seilah to Erza.
The girls affected by the charm magic immediately tried to attack them only for Erza to glare at them and completely destroy that idea.
"Ladies, you must not have heard of me, I am the Silver-Eyed Devil. Here's an autograph," said the imposter as he handed them a piece of paper.
"What beauties you are, how about—" the imposter was interrupted by Seilah's punch in the stomach.
"First of all, your eyes are not Silver; second, you are a weakling less than what the REAL Silver-Eyed Devil has on the tip of his finger. Third, he wears a Black leather coat with silver trimming, fourth he has a Long Sword on his back and a katana and a pair of pistols, and lastly, his hair is Salmon."
The spell on the girls broke. "So, who the fuck are you? And what do you think you can get by impersonating Natsu, you worthless loser?" asked Seilah, as she was pissed. No one was allowed to disrespect Natsu like this in their presence. No one.
"You bitch, I'm gonna ki—" he was interrupted again by a kick to his face from Erza.
"Seilah, I know who this loser is, Bora, a former member of the Titan Nose guild. He deals in slave trading. If he's here, the rest of the scum he's working with are nearby. Let's make this painful; he deserves no mercy," said Erza.
"I'll show you, 'loser', you bitch," said Bora the Loser as he summoned fire. Of a ridiculously small amount of power.
"Hm, as if," said Erza as she summoned her Heaven's Nova sword (Formerly Heaven's Wheel Sword).
Erza swiped her sword to her left and batted the fire away like it was a spider web.
"What?" he does not get to say anything more as Erza appears in front of him and Spartan kicks him into a wall, knocking him out.
"You like to use kicks like that too much," said Seilah amusingly.
"What? Simple kick for maximum power and disrespect," said Erza.
"Excuse me?" said a blonde girl.
The girl has brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that is usually tied by ribbons in a variety of colors in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She is buxom and has a curvaceous body.
"Yes?"
"I wanted to thank you for breaking the charm spell; my magic is not strong enough to break it on my own," said the girl.
"I'm Lucy, by the way," said Lucy.
"Erza, and she is Seilah," said Erza and pointed at Seilah.
"Hello," Seilah greeted the girl.
Before they could speak more, a smoke bomb went off where Bora was stuck in the wall.
"Boss? Boss, we gotta go," someone said.
Seilah swiped her hand, and the smoke cleared. Bora and his partner were gone.
"Oh look at this, we got ourselves a hunt," playfully said Seilah.
"Things got boring anyway; we'll give them a few hours, like they got a chance to escape now," said Erza.
"Um, if you two aren't busy, I can buy you lunch, for saving me as thanks," said Lucy.
"Alright… Lucy, right?" clarified Erza.
"Yes."
"So, that's what happened," Lucy finished giving them a rundown of what she knew happened with Bora before they got there.
"There's nothing more than trash; Bora and his band of losers will get what they deserve," said Erza.
"By the way, Lucy, are you a wizard by chance? I saw those keys and know something about them," said Seilah, as she already made the connection between Lucy and Anna.
"Yes, I am a Celestial Wizard; these keys allow me to summon spirits from the celestial realm," she said happily.
"Bingo," thought Seilah.
"Are you two part of a guild? I saw you can use magic too," asked Lucy.
"Yes, we are part of Fairy Tail."
"Fairy Tail? Wait, Erza and Seilah, are you two Sapphire-Eyed Queen Titania and Amethyst-Eyed Midnight Queen?" asked Lucy excitedly.
"Well, those are names of ours," said Erza amused.
"That makes sense why you were looking for Bora; you know the Silver-Eye Devil, right?" asked Lucy.
"Yes, we do. We came here because we heard someone was using his name," said Seilah.
"So how is he? There are not many known things about the Silver-Eyed Devil. Some people said he is a Fallen Angel, others that he is a dragon in the form of a human or a demon from hell. I even heard he is immortal, but that is a given if he is any of the things I heard. What about you? Rumors say that you are his queens or something?" Lucy asked question after question.
"People like to talk a lot; they are not exactly completely wrong," said Seilah as she giggled.
"So, Lucy, are you part of a guild?" asked Erza.
"Me? No, I mean, I want; one of my dreams was to join Fairy Tail, you know? But I don't think I could pass whatever nearly impossible test you guys have to join," said Lucy sounding a bit defeated.
"Test? Where do you get that?" asked Seilah.
"From Sorcerer Weekly, I think? I read a story about your guild, and there was a part saying, like, 'What kind of impossible test does Fairy Tail have for its member like Silver-Eye and his Queens to be part of the guild?' something like that," responded Lucy.
"Well... there is no test. I mean, as long as you don't have the intention of harming the members out of malice, but if you have, you won't even be able to enter the guild thanks to powerful magic the council wishes they had," said Erza.
"So, there's no test?" Lucy asked with hope in her eyes.
"No, if you want, you can come with us; we'll be going after we deal with Bora," said Erza.
"YES, I mean, yes, I would like that, thank you," Lucy said.
"Well, we are going after Bora. How about you join us?" asked Seilah.
"I mean, is that ok? I don't want to be a bother."
"Nonsense; besides, I am curious about your magic. Let's go," said Erza.
The three girls were on the port of Hargeon, looking in the distance at a small ship trying to get away.
"Ah, look at them, they think they can get away; oh, this will be painful for them," said Erza.
"Should we block the bay with a barrier? Or force the ship back?" asked Seilah.
"Let's force the ship back," said Erza.
"Hmm... Lucy? What key do you have?" asked Seilah.
"Well, I have the lion, water bearer, Cancer and Tauros, and a few silver keys," she said.
"Can you please summon the Water bearer?" asked Seilah.
"Ok," she said as she prepared to use her key.
"Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!"
Aquarius resembles a royal blue mermaid. She has a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, and a large bust. She has blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. Aquarius wears a revealing dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet. Aquarius also has a circlet, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rests right under her collarbone. Aquarius also wields an urn that acts as the basis of the water magic she employs in battle.
"What do you want?" Aquarius asks angrily.
"Hello to you too, Aquarius."
"Can you make the ship return to the shore?" asked Seilah.
"What makes you think you can give me orders, you de—" said Aquarius but stopped and took a look at Seilah recognizing which demon she was.
"What is beyond your capability?" asked Seilah as she smiled at Aquarius.
"Thc... fine," said Aquarius as she summoned a wave to carry the boat back. More like throw the boat back. The group had to take cover. Erza threw Lucy over her shoulder.
"Could you not have done this without trying to kill us?" screamed Lucy as Erza let her down.
"Oh, what's that beyond your capabilities of dodging?" said Aquarius in a mock voice towards Seilah especially.
Seilah smiled at her. "You're quite fun, Aquarius."
"Thc," Aquarius goes back to her realm.
As Bora and his crew got out of the wrecked ship, Erza and Seilah slowly walked into their direction.
"Whoever takes those bitches down can have them!" screamed Bora.
Immediately, an immense aura manifested itself on the shore pushing all of them to the ground, kneeling. It was as if they were in the presence of queens, queens of power so great they were nothing more than insects to crush.
Some of them started to have heart attacks, and some had their minds crushed with their mouths foaming.
And those who remained conscious out of mere luck? They left with fear like never before. Seilah raised her hand, and a purple light manifested; she cast a spell in a language unknown to them.
Bora and the rest of his crew started to scream in pain, not physical pain. Seilah forced them to feel every bit of pain they inflicted a thousandfold.
Their minds and souls crushed like the insects they were.
"You didn't even let me smack them around," said Erza.
"That greatly offended me. And they would not have posed a challenge to you," huffed Seilah. The thought of someone else having her was worse than death to her. She belonged to Natsu.
"I guess you are right; let's take Lucy and go home," said Erza.
"Yes, home," Seilah smiled.
"So, this is Fairy Tail?" asked Lucy, looking at the guild hall.
"Yes, what do you think?" asked Erza.
"It looks cute from here. Doesn't it make you think this guild produced mages that are considered disasters?" said Lucy.
"I know, right?" said Seilah.
As the girls entered the guild, they were greeted to the sight of a brawl.
"Ah, the daily after-lunch brawl. What a shock. Are you going to stop them?" said Seilah to Erza.
"No, I don't feel like it... yet," said Erza.
A few hours later, after Lucy was introduced to the guild and the master, the girls were talking at a table.
"So what do you think?" Erza asked Lucy.
"It's awesome; everyone is nice here. I expected it would have been scarier," Lucy said.
"Ahm, well, we have some free time, so we can go with you on your first mission."
"Really? Thank you, girls!" said Lucy.
"Let's go pick something; pick something simple for your first mission. We'll first see more of what you can do," said Seilah.
"Hmm, how about this one? It asks to get a book from someplace; it pays well too!" said Lucy.
"This looks easy enough; just so you know, this is your mission. We will help only if you need it; you have to be able to take care of yourself. You won't always have someone to back you up," said Erza.
