Someone in the Review area mentioned the idea of giving her a tail attack. I like it, so I'll use it.

Hargeon

"Last Stop, Hargeon."

"Natsu, we made it to Hargeon!" Happy told the prone Dragon Slayer. Due to his motion sickness, however, he wasn't moving.

"Is he okay?" The conductor asked sheepishly. Happy turned and explained that this is the norm for Natsu when they travel.

"Really, Natsu," a voice rang from behind the three. "You have to get over this motion sickness." Turning around, the conductor saw a purple haired woman. Laki began to drag her teammate off the train.

"Thanks, Laki." Natsu muttered as his back hit the stone ground of Hargeon. "I owe you one."

"Actually, by my count, you owe me over a hundred times." Laki smirked as she readjusted her glasses.

"If the information we got is correct, than that Salamander is somewhere in town." Happy said.

"Come on, Natsu." Laki said as she helped him up. "Get up. We're off the train so you should be fine now."

As Natsu shock the last of his motion sickness away, he started walking with Happy on his right, and Laki on his left.

Magic Shop

"You're serious, this is the only magic shop in this whole town?" A blonde girl in white shirt and blue skirt asked the owner.

"Yes, that's right." The owner said. "More of the people here are fishin folk than magic folk. In fact, I think most the people in town don't even know how to use magic. So I built this shop for the wizards that stop through town."

"Dang it." The blonde was dejected. "I was hoping you had some gate keys for sale."

"Well that's a rare request." The owner began searching behind the counter. Finally, he pulled out a little box with red padding. Resting in it, was a little silver key.

"Oh, wow!" The blonde was super excited after seeing the key. "It's the little doggy!"

"Yes, but it's not exactly what you'd call a power house." The shop keep said being one hundred honest.

"I know, but I really want it." The blonde said as smiled. "So, how much?"

"That ill be twenty thousand jewel."

The blonde just stared at the owner before asking again, only to get the same answer as before. She decided to use her greatest weapon: sex appeal. She jumped on the counter, giving the man a good view of her legs. She then brushed her hand through her hair while her other arm pushed up her bust.

"Aw, come on." She said as sexy as she could. "How much is it really worth?" She winked at the shop keeper.

Ten minutes later

"Stupid old man." The blonde mumbled as she walked around town. "Only a thousand jewel off. So much for using my feminine wiles."

As she walked, she heard a lot of joyous screaming. Turning her head, she saw a large crowd of woman gathered around a single figure. Staring at the crowd, she heard three woman run by her, all talking about a 'Salamander.'

"Salamander." The blonde stared at the crowd before her memory kicked in. "As in the famous fire wizard who uses magic that's not available in any store? What is he doing in this dead end town?" She began to walk over to the crowd.

When she got to the crowd, she saw the man of their obsession. 'Wha, what is this? My hearts beating faster than ever before.' The man then turned to her, and she thought her heart would explode with joy. 'He looked at me! Is this because he's a famous wizard?' Hearts formed in her eyes as she hopped on one leg. 'No, this feeling. Am I in love?'

"Igneel, Igneel, it's me." A man with pink hair broke through the crowd and stared at Salamander, disappointment in his eyes. The blonde stared at this and let out gasp, the hearts in her eyes shattering.

"Who the heck are you?" The man was taken aback before he smirked and struck a pose. "Why, I am Salamander. Surely you've heard of me?" He was expecting the pink haired man to be awe struck.

"Yeah no." The man began to walk away, only to be attack by a few of the rabid fan girls. Before they could tear him limb from limb, Salamander called them off. Whipping out paper and a pen, he signed his name before proudly presenting it to the man.

"No thanks." This time, the women launched him to some nearby creates, breaking them. "Guess that wasn't him." A blue cat and a purple-haired woman walked over to the broken crates. "Definitely not." The cat said.

The three looked up to see Salamander fly away on a trail of fire, but not before inviting all of the girls present to a party on his yacht.

Laki pulled Natsu out of the broken crates. "You okay, Natsu?" "Yeah, I'm fine Laki." He stared where Salamander was once hovering. "Who was that guy?" He asked aloud.

"I don't know, but he was a real creep." The group turned to face a blonde woman in a white top with blue trimming, a blue blouse and boots, a key ring and a whip attached to her belt. She smiled and gave them a thumbs up. "Thanks for the help."

The three just stared at her and said the same thing. "Help?"

Hargeon Restaurant

"My name is Lucy." The blonde introduced herself from across the table. The man and the cat were across the from her, consuming huge amounts of food and fish, respectively. Next to her, the woman was calmly eating a small salad.

"Nice to meet you, Lucy." The woman looked to Lucy. "My name is Laki." She then pointed to the man and the cat. "This is Natsu and Happy."

"Hey," Natsu took a break from inhaling his meal and looked at Lucy. "Are you sure your okay paying for all this?"

"Hold on, Natsu." Laki turned to her friend. "Who said she's paying?"

"No, it's fine." Inside, however, she was cursing that the two people and cat sitting with her used up the last of her cash. "This was the only way I think of to repay you guys for helping me get free from that charm spell."

"Charm spell?" Natsu and Happy repeated as they looked up in confusion.

"Oh." Laki exclaimed. "I've heard of those. Apparently, it's magic that's used to attract others to the caster."

"Right." Lucy nodded in agreement. "But it's been banned for years, no one even sells them anymore. He must gone through a lot of trouble to get ahold of it."

"This guy sounds like a pervert." Laki said glaring out the window in anger. Lucy could feel a dark aura raising from the girl next to her.

"Calm down, Laki." Natsu said mid bite. "I know how you feel, but this isn't the place to vent." Laki let out a sigh. "You're right, Natsu."

"So," Lucy nervously interrupted the two. "if you guys know about Charm Magic, I guess that means you about guilds and such?"

"Yeah, in fact we're members of a guild." Laki said. She was about to say the name, but Lucy went on a little rant about joining a certain guild and doing jobs. 'I wonder which guild she has in mind.'

She was taken out of her thoughts when Lucy asked who they were looking for. "Oh, we were looking for Igneel."

"We heard a rumor about this Salamander that was gonna be here, but it must have been that guy." Natsu explain before shoving a whole pizza into his mouth.

As he chewed, Happy commented that he didn't look like a Salamander, and when Natsu swallowed, he added that he couldn't breathe fire like a real dragon.

"Wait, so your friend looks like a dragon?" Lucy asked, causing Laki to giggle a little.

"No, he doesn't just look like a dragon, he IS a dragon." Natsu said as serious as he had ever been around Lucy.

Lucy was taken aback by this, but quickly regained her composer before asking them the most obvious question. "Why would a dragon show up in the middle of a town?!" Natsu and Happy stared at her with blank eyes and open mouths.

"I tried to tell them, but they wouldn't listen." Laki said. "And you still went with them!?" Lucy snapped at Laki, who quickly mirrored her friends actions.

Lucy had enough of their quirks and slammed the remainder of her money on the table, then quickly walked out of the restuarant.

"Lucy, wait." Laki composed herself and ran after the blonde, leaving Natsu and Happy to finish their meals.

Hargeon Park

Laki was running around the park, looking for Lucy so she could explain things to her. Eventually, she found her, laying on a bench reading a copy of Sorcerer Weekly.

As she was about to approach her, Salamander popped out of nowhere. Laki hid, deciding to listen in on the conversation. Her eyes widened when he mentioned that he was a member of the Fairy Tail guild. 'Fairy Tail.'

She was deep in thought, barely listening as Salamander promised to get Lucy into Fairy Tail, if she came to his party and said nothing about the Charm Spell. She agreed, and after he flew away on his Red Carpet spell, Lucy released that she was pseudo-charmed.

"Who cares?" She screamed and jumped in the air with joy. "He's gonna get me into Fairy Tail!" She then heard a rustling in the bushes near her. She looked in them, but found nothing. Shrugging her shoulders, she left to prepare for the party.

Laki ran from the park, headed straight for the piers of the city. 'There's no way he's a member of our guild. Something's up.' When she arrived at the port, she located Salamander's ship. Bringing her hands to its hull, a mahogany-colored magic seal appeared before her.

"Wood-Make Magic: Becoming One with The Towers of Nature!" Slowly, her body merged with the wood of the ship until the two were one. 'Now, let's see what this perv's up to.'

Hargeon - Nighttime

Natsu and Happy looked down at the town from their railing, giving them a good look at the town. They were staring up at the stars, disappointed that the lead was a fake.

"Wonder where Laki is?" Happy asked from Natsu's shoulder.

"Don't know." Natsu answered. "She ran outta the restaurant, lookin for-." He was cut off by three women who were nearby.

"Oh, that's Salamander's ship." The first one said disappointed. "I really wanted to go to his party."

"Wait, who's Salamander?" The second woman asked.

"You don't know?" The final one added in. "He's this famous wizard that's in town. He's a member of Fairy Tail." Natsu's eyes widened as her looked to the ship in the harbor, but only for a few seconds before his sickness overcame him.

"So he's a member of Fairy Tail?" Natsu said as he glared at the ship.

Salamanders Yacht

"What is this?" Lucy screamed at Salamander. Around her, the other girls were unconscious, having been drugged by Sleep Magic.

"I advise you to behave yourself." Salamander said. "We have a long way to go before we get to Bosco."

"Bosco!?" Lucy screamed as she turned to the caped wizard. "What happened to getting me into Fairy Tail?"

Salamander snickered aloud. "I still can't be you fell for that crap. I just said that so I could make you one of our slaves." Soon, all of his men were joining him in his cynical laughter.

Lucy reached for her key ring, but a whip of purple fire swatted her hand and brought the ring to Salamander.

"Gate Keys, eh?" He asked as he brought the ring to his face. "I guess this means you're a Celestial Wizard? Only the wizard contracted to the spirits can use them, so these are completely useless." He then flung the keys out an open window.

Lucy stared at the wooden floor of the ship as tears formed in her eyes. "You use magic to take advantage of others." She raised her head as she snapped at Salamander. "YOU'RE THE WORST WIZARD ALIVE!"

Crash

A familiar figure broke through the roof of the ship, his fist on the ground. Both Salamander and Lucy recognized the person: Natsu.

Lucy had hope in her eyes, but as the boat rocked, it quickly disappeared. "You are so lame!" She screamed at her prone, would-be savior.

"Really, Natsu." A voice rang out from seemingly nowhere, putting everyone but Natsu on edge. "I was all set to turn this ship back to port, and you decide to ruin my plan?"

"Sorry, Laki." Natsu said through his sickness. "I didn't know you were here."

At the mention of Laki's name, Lucy looked around the room trying to find her. "Laki, where are you?"

"Calm down, Lucy. It's just my magic." A magic seal appeared on the wall behind her, and from it, Laki's upper body emerged. Lucy's jaw hit the floor when she learned that Laki was also a wizard. "Listen, Lucy get out of here. We can handle this." Suddenly, a tail wrapped around her waist. She followed it to its source: Happy.

"Hold on, since when do you have wings?" Lucy asked the now arial feline.

"I'll explain later, for now, let's go!" Happy told before he lifted her of the ground.

"Take care of these two." Salamander ordered his men as he ran out the door to try and shoot down Lucy and Happy.

"Lets have some fun." Laki smirked as she adjusted her glasses. Bringing her hands together, a similar seal appeared in between them. "Wood-Make: Violent Approach!" A large, wooden spiked ball shot out of the seal in her hand, taking out a bunch of the slavers.

Laki smiled at her work, but her head quickly jerked back. A slaver had snuck up behind her, and was holding a knife to her throat. He then pulled her out of the wall, and brought her to the deck, held captive by her hands. Salamander was there, disappointed that the cat and blonde got away.

"No matter." He turned to Laki and placed his hand on her chin. "I guess you will have to take her place."

"Hey, guys." Everyone turned to the doorway to see Natsu, struggling to stand with his motion sickness. "Remember me?"

He lurched forward to strike, but stopped when he saw Laki captive. This allowed other thugs to overpower him to the deck. As they kicked his prone body, Salamander decided to head for Bosco.

Natsu finally caught a boot with his forearm, and glared at the caped wizard. "The Fairy Tail guild, your a member?"

Before he could answer, a massive wave appeared out of nowhere and struck the ship, launching it back into port. From the water, Laki could make out Lucy screaming.

The ship crashed into the harbor, knocking it to the side. This in turn sent Laki flying off the ship and onto the ground. "Laki, you okay?" She looked up and saw Lucy and Happy headed to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied rubbing her head. "What was the rogue wave?"

"That was one of Lucy's spirits." Happy explained, but this only added to Laki's confusion.

"I'm a Celestial Spirit Wizard." Lucy explained proudly. "I can summon spirits from the Celestial world to aid me. The one who did this was the water bearer, Aquarius."

"She doesn't really like Lucy." Happy added much to Lucy's dismay. They turned to the wreckage of the ship to see Natsu standing on it.

"Natsu!" Lucy screamed as the three ran towards him.

As he stared down at the slavers, he had a dark look in his eyes. "So you're a member of Fairy Tail?"

Salamander sneered at him before he ordered two of his men to charge.

"Let me get a good look at that face." Natsu said as he went to grab his jacket.

"Natsu, be careful!" Lucy screamed. "Don't worry, Lucy. When Natsu uses his magic, few can stop him." Laki said as a look of surprise entered Lucy's face.

"His magic?" "That's right, Lucy." Happy said from her shoulder. "We probably should have told you earlier, but Natsu's a wizard too."

Natsu smacked away the thugs as threw his jacket off. "My names Natsu, I'm a Fairy Tail wizard, and I've never seen you before!" On his right shoulder was red mark which looked like a fairy with a tail.

"Wait, so Natsu's a Fairy tail wizard!" Lucy asked. "Does that mean,?" She looked at Laki who nodded and showed Lucy her own mark on her ribs in brown. A slaver pointed out that it's the real deal and called Salamander by his real name: Bora

"I've heard of that name, Bora the Prominence." Laki said with a sneer. "They say he was kicked out of the Titan Nose guild for bad behavior."

"At first, I wanted to punch you lights out because of how damn cocky you acted. The urge grew when I found out what you planned to do to these girls." Natsu said as jumped of the boat onto the ground. "But then you threaten my friend and used our guilds name! You ain't getting away with that!"

Bora smirked as he cast a spell. "Prominence Typhoon!" When the purple spiral of flames struck Natsu, they exploded. Lucy started to run to him, but Laki grabbed her wrist.

"You sure you're a fire wizard? Cause these are the nastiest flames I've ever eaten!"

Everyone but Laki and Happy were shocked to see Natsu eating the flames. As the last embers entered his mouth, the slavers were horrified. "Thanks for the grub." Was all Natsu said as wiped his mouth.

"The hell? Who is this guy?" Bora screamed. Happy simply stated "Fire magic doesn't work on Natsu."

"That was filling." Natsu said as spread his legs. "Now I'm all fired up!" He pulled his head back and a magic seal appeared in front. He brought his hands to his mouth and blew through them.

"Fire Dragon Roar!"

A stream of red and orange flames out of his mouth, funneled by his hands. When the smoke cleared, only Bora was unscathed as he used his Red Carpet to hover away.

"Hey, Bora," one of his men groaned out. "I've seen this guy before. That pink hair, the scaly-lookin' scarf. No mistaking it. This guy, he's the real..." "Salamander!" Lucy finished his thought.

"Alright then, here's the power of a real Fairy Tail wizard." Natsu shouted as he lit his hands on fire and charged at Bora.

Bora, still hovering, cast his Red Shower spell, launching hundreds of purple orbs at Natsu. He ran past them, before launching himself into the air and punched the slaver.

Lucy stood baffled at the sight in front of her. "So he eats fire, then attacks with it?" She had never seen or heard of this kind of magic.

"He has a dragons lungs to breathe fire." Lucy turned and look down at Laki, who continued explaining as the fight raged on. "Dragon scales to dissolve fire, and dragon claws to attack with fire. His type of fire magic allows him to take on all of the physical traits of an actual dragon. It's an ancient spell that's rarely used to today."

Bora launched a giant skull-like orb of flame at Natsu, who caught and ate it. As he finished eating, Happy finished explaining to Lucy. "It's called Dragon Slayer Magic."

"Well, that was a hefty meal. Now I'm gonna smoke you like a fish." Natsu said as wiped embers from his lips.

Bora freaked out at the comparison, but before he could do anything, Natsu had shot forward. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Igniting his right hand, he punched Bora's face with enough force to launch him into the bell tower.

"Natsu, everyone knows you smoke food with smoke, not fire." Happy said as he shrugged his shoulders.

Lucy was horrified at the power Natsu had shown, but more so at the destruction he caused.

"Not bad, Natsu." Laki said as she walked over to him. "But don't you think you overdid it?" She asked pointing behind them. "This wouldn't have happened if we stuck with my plan." This sparked an argument between the two.

Lucy was watching this when an article that she read flashed into her head. 'Salamander, he partners with someone who goes by the name of 'The Greenwoman.' Does that mean?' She slowly turned to Laki.

"Hey." Both stopped arguing and turned to Lucy. "If he's Salamander, does that mean, you're the Greenwoman?" Laki had a smile on her face as she said "That's me."

Before she could say anything, heavy metal footsteps rang through the smoke. "The Army?" Lucy screamed, before Natsu and Laki each grabbed a wrist and ran.

"Crap, we gotta get outta here!" Natsu said still running.

"So why are you dragging me along!?" Lucy screamed. "You said you wanted to join our guild, right?" Laki said as Lucy looked with joy in her eyes. Both mages looked back at Lucy and said the same thing. "So, lets go!"

Soon enough, Lucy was now running along side them, headed for her new life in the Fairy Tail guild.
