Within the Fairy Tail's guild hall, it is as noisy as ever. People are drinking, people are fighting, even someone with only has their boxers on them, only to be hit by a pink haired boy.
There even a young girl around the same age as Elfman. Drinking along with the adults, as they don't even care if she is underage.
In such a chaotic guild, Makarov sat by the bar. Knowing it will be the time for the Strauss siblings to return soon. And next to Makarov lies a young man with short blond hair, about 18~19 years old. His name is Laxus Dreyar, the actual grandson of Makarov Dreyar. However since the old man treats everyone as his own, and fairly, this also applies to Laxus. Who also has a lightning like scar on his left eye.
"Gramps, I am off." Laxus informed the old man.
"I see, be careful." Makarov said, not looking in his way. However, Laxus not really bothered since he understands his grandfather. As he walked towards the guild's door, being stopped by a pink haired punk. But nailed him into the ground. And left with three others along with him.
(AN: I did check the timeline… but I didn't see when those three travelled together with Laxus. So, in this Fanfic, they already begun to make Team Laxus, was it?)
"Feeling lonely master?" Went a middle-aged man, with blue hair and a blue moustache. His name is Macao Conbolt, one of the oldest members of Fairy Tail, as well Makarov's friend.
"Maybe so, how about you? How you are coping with your son, Romeo, right?" Makarov askes.
"Hahaha, such a wonderful joy! I will bring him in a few days, he's only a year old. But damn, how much he looks like me I was young!" Macao told.
"I see, I see, young Romeo really does looks like a young version of you, bahahaha!" Makarov laughed.
"I know, right? Anyway, waiting for the Strauss siblings?" Macao asked.
"Yeah… no matter who, if I am in this guild, I need to welcome them back. And it is not possible next week since I got a meeting with those damned Magic Council guys. Something important they want to announce, or so they say." Makarov snorted in dismay thinking about those Magic Council always picked a fight with him. As he drinks his ale.
"Hahaha, I know what you mean Master, those guys never leave us alone…" Macao said with a sigh.
"I know… well, it cannot be helped." Makarov said that, as he looked at one of the problem children, also one of the reasons why the Magic Council always on his back.
As for that problem child, that of course, is Natsu, who that became a nail in the ground when he challenged Laxus. Which Happy the blue winged cat had to pulled him out.
"Why you need to pick a fight with Laxus every time you meet?" Happy asked, even if he knew why he (His father) always picked a fight whenever sees Laxus. Why is that? Hatred? No, it because the young idiotic punk is just a battle manic.
"Hahaha, damn, one move? I will get him one day!" Natsu said with smile.
"He will properly fry you before you could…" Happy told.
"No worries, no worries!" Natsu said that, as he looked at the black-haired boy sitting with a dark brown-haired girl. Cana Alberona, the heavy drinker whose also around the same age as Gray and Natsu. Noticing the wild boy, and waved her hand, which in turn, Natsu also waved his, while he looked at Gray, who also looked back to Natsu. But that all, as they both just stared at each other.
Why is the two behaving? That because, on the next table is Erza Scarlet, who from time and time again. Looked at Natsu and Gray with a watchful gaze. Seeing they no trouble among them, then she focused on her cake, and begun to eat with such a blissful expression.
Noticing Ezra's watchful gaze moved to her cake, while she delightfully eating with a smile. Both sighed with relief, knowing they hasn't upset the demoness behind them. Seeing all this, Cana herself, cannot helped but to laugh while she drinks the ale before her.
"Still drinking Cana?" Gray asked with a sighed to his friend.
"Yep, want one?" Cana asked, asking a child if they want a drink. Even she one herself…
"No thanks, I am going to eat out, want to join?" Gray asked.
"Eat, food!? I want to join! I want to join!" Natsu, who also crazy about food as much as fighting, cannot resist the offer Gray made. However…
"I wasn't asking you, and why should I treat you in the first place? If anyone should be treating anyone, it would be you, since you the one that eat or burn my food more I can count." Gray told with dismay.
"Huh? Did I?" Natsu who looked clueless if he did such a thing. Even if he 'warm' Gray's food up the other day.
"This…" Gray that about to smash his fist into this annoying dragon, but stopped by Cana's gaze, informing him about Erza just behind them.
"If you got money, fine, but there is no way I'm treating you." Gray said, as he indeed doesn't mind if this damn dragon joined them or not. But he does mind paying.
"Yay!" Natsu went, as Happy just sighed when he said the following…
"But Natsu… we don't have the money, remember? We need to go on a mission tomorrow since we're got none." Happy told.
"Really? Oh, you right. But Gray said he going to treat us anyway." Natsu either shamelessly said, or forgot what Gray just said.
"Really!? Thanks Gray!" Happy shouted.
"I didn't say that, you damn airheads!!" Gray said while Cana watches with amusement.
"Ahh…? You told you will treat us!? Right Happy?" Natsu said.
"Aye, aye!" Happy went.
"I didn't! I said, it okay to join us, but I aren't paying for your damn meal!" Gray stood his ground.
"When you said that!?" Natsu felt he is being con by this iceman, as he grabbed Gray, whose already took off his jacket to the ground. Being topless, he also grabbed Natsu. Which made both of them forget about the existence that lays behind them.
It that moment when Gray and Natsu about to fight again. And Makarov who just sighed seeing this. The doors of the guild opened, causing everyone to look towards the door.
The first one that came through the door was Mirajane, that seems to oddly be distancing herself from her siblings? Most found that strange, but among most of the female members, notice something odd about her. Men won't notice, but a woman would since it in their instincts to tell.
Of course she did turn to look behind herself, not usual since the ones that properly her looking at her siblings. Which they are half right and wrong… since she also looked at the robed boy behind them. Tied with ropes. Her idea of course. She looked at the annoyed boy that cannot take off his clothing, with many emotions, before she headed towards Makarov, who also staring at the tired-up boy.
No, it wasn't just him, but everyone else also notice the tied-up boy. Of course, that is Zack, and he can undo those ropes blinding him… but he also knows he will lose Mirajane's trust if he did so. Which is why he just can sigh, hoping to remove these damn clothes later on.
"Mirajane… whose this?" Makarov said with a sweet smile. Of course inside he was saying something else deep down. 'I know that should trust that feeling! Another troublemaker had arrived! Why me, God? I am sure there are other guilds besides mine, right? There are, right? Wait… a kid walking in, doesn't mean they are going to join, right? I am sure of it!'
Makarov told himself, but the next words from Mirajane's mouth crushed his dream.
"Oh? Him, some guy we found, he is going to join us, that why we brought him with us." Mirajane said.
"O-Oh, I see…" Makarov said, but inside him he was thinking this: 'Damn you God! Damn you to oblivion! Is it because of those nun-based treasures I brought!? Is this your wrath!? No… wait… maybe I am rushing into this. I mean this is Mirajane we are talking about here. She properly tied him up because he p*ssed her off. That's right, that properly it, I am sorry God for saying those awful things… I will burn that nun issued book of mine later today'
While Makarov thinking all this. Mirajane just landed with another bomb.
"Yeah… we leave him to you… good luck." When Mirajane said that Makarov tilted his head.
'What does she means by good luck? Say Mirajane, what you mean by that?' Makarov thought, as Elfman and Lisanna brought the tied-up boy, who is more interested looking at everyone with curiosity can be seen in his eyes. 'I am sure, this one like Elfman and Lisanna, good children, meaning this one is a good as well.'
However, when Makarov and Zack finally face each other. Both of them looked at each other's eyes, Makarov is the first one to speak.
"I heard you want to join our guild, is that right?" Makarov asked.
"Yes." Zack said with a smile. Which Makarov also smiled in turn.
"All okay, that means you can used magic, right? What are they, and who taught you?" Makarov asked.
"I can use Quake Magic and Gravity Magic! And God is the one that given me it!" When Zack said that everyone in the guild, that overhearing them. Was stunned, Quake Magic aside, it not bad, just a sub-type of magic system from Earth Magic. It may be best to learn Earth Magic instead. However, Gravity Magic is another story.
Gravity Magic is hard to learn, and when fully mastered they can be fearsome mages. Of course, slayer magic like Dragon Slayer magic and God Slayer Magic are stronger. But one can do many things with Gravity Magic.
Of course, if Makarov and the rest of the guild known that Zack's Quake Magic is actually this world's vision of Gura Gura no Mi, they think otherwise. Why? That devil fruit can even sink islands! It known as one of the strongest Devil Fruit powers for a reason after all.
However, everyone tilted their heads when they heard him mentioning God the one that teach him. They all become confused, as for the Strauss siblings only can sighed, knowing this going to happened.
"God… teach you, you say…?" Makarov went, as he cannot helped to think this boy was involved in some cult of something.
"Yep." Zack said.
"I-I see… well, like it matters, but why are tied you up young… what's your name?" Makarov asked.
"Because I want to remove these damn… what they called again? Oh, clothes! That's right! How can you wear something that covers your skin? By the way, what we do here? Where do I learn more? Oh, want to join my harem? Do you know what's money is? God say it is important factor to build a harem. Oh, endless stamina as well! And strength!
I almost forgot about that, and why is your head missing hair? It seems different kind of white compared to Mirajane, Lisanna and Elfman's. Why is Fairy Tail called Fairy Tail (He thinks this world called Fairy Tail), how do I join? Why is there a shape of a… what's that? (Fairy Mark he's on about) Oh, do you know who else wants to become part of my harem? God said I needed one, but I have no clue how to… now I think about it, what's a harem? Do you know what's a parent is? Do you know mine? They asked me over here, but I have no clue… what else to say?"
Zack saying all that, and finally realised he actually doesn't know what's a harem is. As he looked at the confused guild master, as he remembers what Makarov asked for.
"Sorry, it seems I forgot to mention my name, I am called Zack Smasher, it nice to meet you Makarov Dreyar!" Zack said with an innocent smile.
'Why does he knows my name…? Never mind maybe Mirajane told him. Well, there is something more important anyway… why GOD!? WHY YOU KEEP SENDING THEM TO ME!? DON'T THE OTHER GUILDS EXISTS? WHY MINE!?'
Makarov has a mental breakdown, while Zack just tilted his head in confusion, and thought this old man is funny, and must added him to the harem… well, the day when he will understand(partly) will come one day.
