Start of Canon

X784

Today, I am accompanying Natsu and Happy towards Hargeon Town. I am heading to Hargeon town because I need to settle some matters regarding my company.

Meanwhile, Natsu is going to head there because someone informed him of rumors regarding "Salamander" being there. Natsu, with his ever-active brain, concluded that the "Salamander" they are talking about is his father, Igneel, the Fire Dragon King.

I also knew that this event will signify the start of canon. This is the part where Natsu will meet Lucy Heartfilia.

We parted ways after we arrived in Hargeon. Natsu wandered around hoping to encounter Igneel. On the other hand, I went to the Hargeon branch of my company.

I finished dealing with my business when the sun is about to set. After sensing his magical signature, I quickly went towards Natsu.

I quickly understood that he is near the shore and realized the fight with Bora was about to happen. I hurried towards the shore and saw Natsu flying towards the ship used by Bora.

After a while, I saw a large tsunami carrying the ship towards the Hargeon Port. I quickly used Telekinesis and tried to protect Hargeon Port from any damage. Luckily, I was able to ward it all away from the port.

I saw Lucy who is shouting towards Aquarius for flushing her as well. I made my presence known to them and approached.

I asked "Are you alright miss, Happy?"

"Laxus!" shouted Happy.

I helped Lucy up and dried her using magic. After introducing ourselves to each other, Lucy realized something and dashed towards the ship.

As we approached, we can hear Natsu saying something to Bora.

"You're a mage from Fairy Tail?"

"And so?" Bora then addressed his goons. "Hey, catch him."

Natsu then continued. "Let me see that face of yours"

Lucy is worried about Natsu but we comforted her by letting her know that Natsu can handle himself and that he is a mage.

The goons tried to apprehend Natsu but he quickly struck them down. He then said to Bora. "I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail. And I've never seen you in my life."

Bora's group as well as Lucy was shocked to find out that Natsu is from Fairy Tail. Some of the goons even panicked and revealed that the fake "Salamander" is in fact, Prominence's Bora.

Natsu let everyone know of his anger regarding the fact that someone dares to use the name of Fairy Tail.

As he was walking down the wreckage of the ship, Bora attacked him with some kind of fire magic. And as expected of a fire dragonslayer, he ate the fire which recovered his energy.

'It is kind of fun watching the expression on everyone's face whenever someone witness dragon slayers eat their element for the first time.'

I then called Natsu to gain his attention. "Natsu, let me handle this."

Natsu considers for a moment before agreeing. "Alright then"

I did this because I know that Natsu will really let loose here and destroy many properties in the process. I want to avoid that, in order to reduce the record of damages done by Fairy Tail.

Bora taunted Natsu for being a coward and for letting someone fight in his stead. Natsu, on the other hand, just gave him an unimpressed stare and wished him good luck.

While walking towards Bora, I activated Lightning Armor. Bora, high in the air, focused on me and attempted to use his magic on me. Before he fired his magic, I vanished from his line of vision and quickly appeared next to him.

I punched him hard at the back of his head, which resulted in an explosion, and his body being embedded on the shore. We approached his body and saw that he fainted, with his body is smoking as well as twitching because of some lingering electricity in his body.

The three of them were impressed by my strength and how I quickly handled Bora. Afterwards, some members of the army arrived.

"Halt. What is happening here?"

I quickly answered them. "We are Fairy Tail wizards. This man is Bora of Prominence. He attempted to use the name of Fairy Tail to lure unsuspecting victims in order to capture them as slaves."

The army then proceeded to capture him and bring him to prison. Some soldiers remained to interview the caught women in the ship.

After dealing with the army, we headed back to Fairy Tail.

It's been a few days since Lucy joined Fairy Tail.

Right now, I am accompanying gramps at the annual meeting of the Guild Masters League in Clover Town.

Unlike in the anime where Makarov believed that Laxus' intentions were not yet right, here, he believes that I can properly lead Fairy Tail.

As such, I went with him to the meeting in order to prepare myself and associate with the other guild masters of other magic guilds.

"Makarov-san, who is your companion?" asked one of the guild masters

"Ah, this is my grandson. In a few years, I'll hand my seat to him so I brought him with me so he can familiarize himself with you guys."

"Makarov-chan, it must great for you to have such enthusiastic mages! I heard you took out another group of respected people." said the guild master of Blue Pegasus, Bob

"You find that amusing, Makarov? Being enthusiastic is fine, but they're going too far. Some council members are afraid that Fairy Tail will someday crush an entire city, you know." Added Goldmine, the guild master of Quatro Cerberus

As they were talking, a bird flew in the building. I recognized it as Pii-chan, the pet bird of Mickey Chickentiger, a member of the guild.

"Master Makarov! Master Makarov! A letter from Mirajane-sama."

After the events with Lisanna, Mirajane mellowed out and stopped her bullying tendencies. She now mostly works in the bar of the guild whenever she is not doing missions like in the anime.

Like what happened in the anime, Mira informed gramps that Team Erza was formed. Gramps was so scared, as their group can really destroy a city and the council's concern might actually happen.

The meeting lasted all day, with the various guildmasters having their fun. The meeting activities were basically eating, drinking, merry making, and bragging about the members of the guild.

When gramps was available, I dragged him outside to talk.

"Gramps, I asked around and found out why Erza asked Natsu and Gray to help her in a mission. It seems that Eisenwald acquired Lullaby and is planning on using it. From the information I received, Eisenwald trapped their group in Oshibana station while their guild leader, Erigor, went somewhere. My best guess is that they are planning on using it here to kill the guild masters."

I then passed him the information I gathered regarding Lullaby. Before reading it, gramps looked at me and asked.

"How are Erza and the others? Are they alright?"

"Yeah, they are alright. Natsu is chasing Erigor with the help of Happy while the rest are chasing them using a Magic Four-Wheeler."

"Hmm... Alright then. Later, when they arrive here, I'll try to talk to Eisenwald and persuade them to give up. I'll leave everything else to you."
