Mira nodded in agreement, "Yeah this is where the guild keep it history and secret documents". Mira soon began to put the books she had in their place. Lucy use the ladder to put the other books away. "I can't believe those guys left me, Can't you believe it Mira?".

"I've got time, so fire away!" Lucy reply to Mira, Mira then began to tell her tale….

…

Years ago..

Ace was asleep inside a room in the girl dorm hill, unaware of the girls outside his bedroom. the girls were curious of the boy who had arrived from another world. He was snoring loudly, the girl were deciding to wake him up.

"I should do it", young Erza told the group, "the master gave me him, as my responsibility".

"As if" reply young Mira with a mean look, "you just want to wake him up, because he's cute".

Erza soon blush at her response, "no, of course not, it just doing my duty and that's all. You're the one who thinks he's cute, Mira!". Cana soon got between them, "If you guys won't, I will", but before they could stop her, the door flung open and slam it in all of their faces. Ace was awake, he turn and close the door. He didn't pay attention at the three girls on the ground unconscious that got hit by the door he open.

He left the girl dorm, and headed to the guild, but he didn't remember where it was. He then saw a pink haired boy who challenge him yesterday, "Hey, Natsu wait up". The boy turn who it was that called him, "Oh, Hey Ace, how you sleep".

"great, it was best nap I ever had. Hey, can you show me were the guilds at?" Ace told the dragonslayer. Natsu nodded to the devil fruit eater, "sure, just follow me". He and Ace soon made their way, Ace look around to try to find the blue flying cat he saw yesterday.

"Hey, Natsu were that blue cat from yesterday?" Ace asked Natsu.

"Oh, Happy? His with my friend Lisanna at the guild". Ace the remember the girl from yesterday, she had kindness all over face, he smiled. He and Natsu arrive at the guild, the master waited at the entrance.

" Oh, Ace there you are", Makarov soon look around trying to find someone, "where's Erza? I thought she be with Ace". Ace shrugged at the old man, then his stomach growled, "Well, guess i'll get some breakfast", he then headed towards the forest.

"Ace, where you going?' asked Natsu as Ace left him and the master.

"oh, I'm going to see if i can find anything delicious in the forest" Ace answered Natsu, "i'll be back okay". Ace, then pick up a metal pipe and went his way.

In the guild…

Natsu enter with the master, Lisanna then ran up to Natsu, "Hi yah, Natsu!".

"oh, hey Lisanna" Natsu greeted her, "Where's, Happy?". The blue wing cat then landed on his head, "Aye, sir", Natsu smiled at the cat. He soon saw Gray near a table, "Hey Gray how you doing?" and someone else near him, "Hey, Corazon when you came back?"

Corazon smiled, "Just, this morning. so we gotten a new member yesterday?", he took a sip of his tea and quickly stip it out, since it was to hot. Lisanna, Natsu and Gary laugh at him.

"Yeah, he's pretty cool", Gray said to Corazon, Corazon then try to light a cigarette, "He's name Portugus. "D" . Ace", Corazon lost focus when he heard that name, and cause him to himself on fire. Natsu quickly ate the fires, Corazon thank Natsu, and walked towards the master. He soon put a sound proof barrier around them, Master notice this, "what is my boy?".

"Is it true about that this Ace join the guild?", Makarov nodded to the man, "Do you still remember what L told you about those with the will of D ".

"Yes I do", Makarov reply, "They are the gods natural enemy, but do not worry Corazon, I sense good spirit in him". Corazon believe in the master and headed its way, but soon trip. Everyone laugh at Corazon, soon the doors of the guild few open, Erza, Cana and Mira where there. The three of them look around the guild, Master was worry about them, "you three okay?'

The girl headed to the master, and said in union, "WE LOST ACE!". Makarov clam the three down, "No, need to fret, Ace was here a while ago, he went to the east forest, to… get breakfast?". The old man was confused on what Ace meant on getting breakfast.

He soon heard a loud thump outside the guild's door, everyone soon got to entrance of the guild. The saw a giant wild boar, outside their footsteps, it was tied up and was beat to a plump. A boy was on top of it, to their surprise it was Ace, "hey, can anyone cook this for me?"

…

Everyone in the guild was soon enjoying the meat that Ace had brought. They were impressed, how Ace brought down a boar that size. Ace was eating a piece of meat, on a table, but soon saw the scarlet girl from yesterday with angry look, "why did you leave without me".

Ace look at confusingly, "I don't recalled needing a babysitter", and continue eating. Erza felt insulted by the boy, and had her hand at the sword on her side, Ace notice this, "if you want to fight me, i wouldn't hold back because your a girl". Soon Erza swung her sword at Ace, but was blocked by a metal pipe in his hands. Ace took last bite at his meat and push the girl back with full force. Erza was amazed at the strength of the boy, and put stood her ground once more, she swung her sword at the boy's head, he dodge it in a nick of time. She saw that she left a mark on his check, she smiled, but soon saw the marked disappeared into flames.

The boy smirk at the girl, "that the best at you can do?". Filled with more rage, she jump and attack the boy. Ace had his hand on the pipe and spin it around, his fingers. Erza felt she could damage him with this attack, but Ace so swung the pipe into her gut, knocking the wind out of her, "wide open", he whispered. The girl fell to the ground, she cough some blood and had her hands on the sword getting up.

Ace saw this and smiled, "wants some more?", Erza quickly stood her stands and charge.

…

Natsu and Gary were amazed on how Ace was holding his own against Erza. The both of them couldn't stand a chance. But, this guy was able to go toe to toe with her with easie.

"I want to fight him next" yelled Natsu

Gray gave him a dirty look, "like hell, i'll fight him next, pink hair sissy".

"what did you say ice head", soon Natsu and Gray began to fight each other.

MIra on the other hand, was jealous that Erza was fighting the new kid first, and decided to do something about it.

…

Ace and Erza weapons clash as they swung them against each other, Ace was impressed in how the girl was now on against him equality. But, so a punk girl white hair girl came and landed a punch onto Erza face, Ace was shocked.

"what was that Mira?" asked Erza with anger in her voice, "Do not interrupt my fight with Ace".

Mira only smirked and reply, "Yeah, but who said you can fight him first?". Ace felt the tension between the two and decide to leave while he can. As he left Lisanna saw Ace, leave and decided follow him.

Gray, Natsu, Mira and Erza were to busy to notice Ace's absents. Cana decide to look at her cards, to see inside Ace's fuate. She pull out a carb with a traveller with a heavy bag looking at a valley, "He will on a long journey filled with adventure". She pull out a another card, it had a fire surrounded by shadows, "He will face a great and old foe in this journey". She final pull out a final card but with it three cards pull out, a knight, a demon and a drunk, but the card that confused her was under the three, "lovers".
