Chapter 1

Hargeon

Train Station

"Excuse me, sir? We have arrived at Hargeon" a train conductor said to a pink hair, cloak wearing person who was sitting by the passenger seat while looking like he was asleep.

The person opens his eyes and saw the train conductor.

He stands up and did a little flex on his arm.

"Thanks," he said in a low voice so that the train conductor could hear him.

He then grabs his backpack before stepping out of the train and went into the town.

In a magic store

"Eh? This the only magic store in this town?" A blond hair girl exclaimed to an old man.

"Yes. Because fishing is more prosperous than magic in this town. Only 10% of the citizens use magic here" The old man replied to her.

The blond hair girl sigh in frustration at him.

"Aww. I guess I came here for nothing" she said while letting out another sigh.

"Well, well before saying that. please take a look around my store, you might find something you like," he said to the girl.

The blond hair girl started looking around the store and spotted what she was trying to look for.

"That's the white puppy, White Doggy!" she exclaimed while looking at the magic key in its case.

"Are you sure you want that lassy?" the store manager asked her.

"Yup! I do Celestial Spirit Magic so its common sense for a celestial mage to collect celestial keys!" she said to him while looking at the silver key.

"So, how much does it cost?" she asked the store manager.

"20000 jewels" he replied.

In the streets

"Man! I can't believe that guy only gave me a 1000 jewel discount for my sex appeal!" the blond hair girl said fuming in frustration.

"What a rip off!" she exclaimed while having a tick mark on her head.

"Kyaaaa! It's the Red Salamander!" some girls screamed in excitement as they ran past the blond hair girl and crowded a man in the streets.

"Red Salamander? You mean that strong mage who was rumored to be a Fairy Tail mage! He's in this town?!" the girl exclaimed while smiling.

Elsewhere

The cloaked figure was walking by the streets before hearing some screaming of glee near him.

He looks around and saw a crowd of girls was circling around a man with marine color hair who had a tattoo on his forehead.

"found him" he muttered in a low voice while having a small grin on him.

Back with the girl

"W-Why is my heart beating so fast?! Come on what's happening to me?!" the girl exclaimed in her mind while having hearts on her eyes.

She looks at the man in front of her as she turns around to look at her.

"He looked at me!" she exclaimed in her mind.

"I-Is this what they call love at first sight!"

SNAP! (The sound of a loud finger snap)

Suddenly she felt her heart stopped beating so fast as she looks in a daze.

"Eh? What's going on here?" all of the girls said as they look around while confused.

The man looks in shock as if something had failed.

"Prominence Bora, kicked out of the Titan's Nose guild for female abductions." A voice spoke out as everyone turns around to look at who was talking.

They saw a pink hair, cloak wearing figure as he walks towards the now named Bora who was sweating a bit.

"Wanted for 2 thousand jewels," the figure said before folding a piece of paper and puts it in his pocket.

"and now wanted for daylight abducting," the figure said before disappearing from everyone's sight.

Bora's eyes went wide in shock as he coughs out air as he felt immense pain on his abdomen.

He looks down and saw a fist connected to his stomach before losing consciousness.

The cloaked figure then stands up while flexing his right hand a bit then grabs Bora by his collar and leaving the girls in shock and surprised at him.

"Nothing to see here," he said in a low tone before walking to the guard station to take Bora into prison.

The blond hair girl snaps out of her shock before looking at the cloaked figure and quickly followed him.

At a restaurant

"I'm Lucy! Nice to meet you" Lucy said to the cloaked figure who was seated in front of her as she reaches out her hand to him for a handshake.

"Natsu" he replied back to her while shaking her hand with his.

"I've really got to thank you for saving me back there," Lucy said while smiling to him.

"No problem, he was my target," Natsu said as he sips his glass of water.

"So Natsu, are you a wizard? And if you are which guild are you from?" Lucy asks him.

"I am, but I don't belong to any guild" Natsu replied back to her.

"You?" he asked her while eating a muffin.

"Not yet, but I'm planning to join Fairy Tail! Joining that guild is one of my dreams" Lucy said while thinking of the famous guild.

"good luck in achieving your dreams," Natsu said to her.

"Oh! take this" he said while taking out a sack filled with jewels and a golden key.

"that key!" Lucy exclaimed in shock and surprised while looking at the golden key.

"This is the golden key to the Gate of the Maiden, Virgo!" She said while holding the key.

"How did you get this?!" Lucy quickly asks him.

"Job" he replied as he finishes his glass of water.

"Thanks for the treat, and keep the reward money. I don't need it" he said while standing up and leave the table and was heading towards the exit.

"Wait!" Lucy stands up and called out to him but failed as he already exited the restaurant.

She then sighs before sitting back down.

Lucy then saw an envelope bellow the sack.

She took it and opens it.

Lucy gasped in surprise as she saw a one-way train ticket to Magnolia and a map leading to Fairy Tail.

She then saw bellow the map some writing.

"Good luck," it said

Lucy smiled happily before grabbing her belongings and paid the cashier.

She then exited the restaurant and was now heading towards her hotel.

"Thank you Natsu!" she said in her mind while smiling.

Elsewhere

Natsu was now in an abandoned warehouse as there was a pile of unconscious gang members and they were all groaning in pain.

"What's next?" he said before taking out a list in his pocket.

He then checklist writing that said "capture female abductors at Hargeon"

Natsu then looks at the list and saw there was no more job for him to do.

"Might as well find some good info from these guys" he said before lifting up a gang member then throws him at a chair as the gang member wakes up.

"Now," Natsu said in a low tone as the room's temperature was starting to rise up.

"You'll tell me everything you know, right here right now," he said while cracking his knuckles loudly.

The poor gang member felt he had pissed himself as he was face to face with a monster.

Night

Train

Lucy was excited as she was glowing in happiness and joy as she was about to go to the guild of her dreams.

"I really got to thank Natsu," she said while smiling as she was holding the golden key Natsu gave to her and the new silver key she just bought with the money he gave her.

All of a sudden gunshots can be heard as all of the passengers screams at the sound.

"GET ON THE GROUND YOU LOT! WE'RE TAKING OVER THIS TRAIN!" some thug holding a magic gun shouted at everyone while shooting the said gun.

"Hijackers!?" Lucy exclaimed while hiding behind her seat.

"YOU BLOND BITCH! HAND OVER YOUR VALUABLES!" The gang member yells at her while pointing his gun at her.

Lucy raises her hand up in surrender to him.

"Take her keys," the thug said to his companions.

Lucy could only surrender as her keys were taken away from her.

"I still can't believe Bora-san failed to get a new shipment of girls," the thug said to his companion while sneering.

"Well can't help it, let's take the passengers valuables and take all of the women here" the thug's companion replied while looking at Lucy's breast with a sick grin.

Suddenly the side of the train's windows exploded.

BOOM!

"WHAT THE HELL!" The thug yelled before getting knock out.

"Gah!" "Ah!" "Gah!" "giah!"

All of the thugs yell in pain as they were all knocked out instantly.

Lucy coughs as the dust was going into her mouth.

"what's going on?!" she exclaimed in shock and in surprise while blowing away the dust with her hand.

She then saw a figure's shadow in the dust.

"Eh?!" she exclaimed in surprised as the dust settled revealing the figure.

"Natsu!"

It was Natsu as he was stepping on an unconscious thug's head.

He looks at her while doing a quick hello wave to her.

"Looks like I miss a few of them when I was scouting the area," he said while starting to tie up all of the thugs. "Here," he said while throwing her keys to her.

"Thanks again for helping Natsu!" Lucy thanked him while catching her keys.

"No problem," he said to her before finishing tying up all of the thugs.

"Now that's all done, time to take a nap -Yawn-" Natsu said before sitting on a nearby passenger seat.

"Good night," he said before closing his eyes.

Lucy just smiled at him while sitting down as she looks out at the window.

"I can't wait to join Fairy Tail," she said excitedly.
