In the port city, Hargeon... Three figures get off a train. Two of the figures, a blue cat and a guy with h/c hair, are perfectly fine but the third, a guy with pink hair and a scarf, is on the floor, ready to puke.

Train Worker: U-Um, mister?

?????: Natsu!

?/?: We've arrived at Hargeon. Get up.

Train Worker: I-Is he alright?

?????: Yep!

?/?: This happens all the time...

Natsu groans.

Natsu: I will never ride a train again...

?/?: If the information is correct, Salamander should be in this town. Let's go.

Natsu: L-Let me rest for a little bit...

The train unfortunately begins to leave again and while you and the cat got off, Natsu wasn't so lucky.

Natsu: Save me!!

?????: It left, Y/N...

Y/N: Damn it... Come on, Happy. We better go get him.

We then cut to Natsu and you as the two of you walk down the street with Happy right behind you.

Natsu: Damn, I ended up taking the train again... And now I'm hungry...

Happy: We don't have any money...

Y/N: That's because we have to pay for repairs every time Pinkie decides to make a mess...

Natsu: Say, Happy... This "salamander" is Igneel, right?

Happy: Yeah! I doubt it would be anyone but Igneel, right?

Y/N: Why would a dragon show up in the middle of a fishing town anyway?

The two ignore you.

Y/N: Idiots...

Your group stops when you see a large crowd and hear a girl shouting.

Fan Girl: Salamander! You're so wonderful!

Happy and Natsu turn to each other excitedly.

Both: Salamander!

They both take off running toward the crowd.

Y/N: Wait!

Natsu: See? Talk about somebody, and they show up!

Happy: Aye!

In the crowd, a man with deep blue hair and two rings on his right hand is posing and gesturing to the girls around him. The girls all squeal with hearts in their eyes. A blonde is seen blushing toward the back of the crowd.

Salamander: Captivated, aren't you?

He smiles toward the crowd, then turns his head to glance in the blonde's general direction. She clutches her chest with a deep blush on her face. She then blinks and hearts appear in her eyes as well. Natsu suddenly breaks through the crowd, smiling.

Natsu: Igneel!

He stares at the man.

Natsu: Who the heck are you?

Salamander jumps back, shocked.

Salamander: I'm Salamander, the greatest Fire Wizard in Fiore.

But Natsu begins walking away

Salamander: Huh?

Natsu's suddenly attacked by multiple girls.

Fan Girls: How rude of you! Yeah! Salamander is an amazing wizard! Apologize to him!

Natsu: What's wrong with you people?!

You walk up and the girls stare at you for a second before going back to beating up Natsu.

Salamander: Now, now... Just leave it at that. It's not like he meant any harm by it.

The girls all shift from angry to heart-eyed once again. Meanwhile, the blonde's eyes narrow in suspicion.

Fan Girls: He's so kind!

Salamander writes his name stylized on a board and tries to hand it to Natsu.

Salamander: Here. Feel free to show it off to your friends.

Natsu: No thanks.

The girls get angry, and before you can react, Natsu is laying on the ground, twitching.

Happy: I guess we got the wrong person.

Salamander: Now then, if you'll excuse me... Red Carpet!

He snaps his fingers and a glyph appears in front of him, producing a spiral of purple flames to carry him into the air.

Salamander: I'm having a party on my ship tonight! Everyone, please attend!

He then uses his magic to fly off while the girls scream with excitement.

Natsu: Who the heck was that guy?

????: What a scumbag. Thanks a lot.

The blonde waves to the three of you.

Natsu: Huh?

The girl takes the three of you to a restaurant.

Lucy: I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you.

Natsu is too busy eating to respond. Lucy looks miserably while he continues to stuff his face with food.

Y/N: Sorry about them.

You sigh as you take a sip of your drink.

Lucy: Natsu, Happy, and Y/N, was it?

Y/N: Yep.

Natsu: You're really nice.

Lucy: Thanks, sure... Just take your time and...

Food is flying past her and bouncing off her seat.

Lucy: I'm kind of in the splash zone here...

Y/N: They have no manners...

Lucy: ...and there goes that 1,000 jewel I saved with my looks... See, that Salamander guy was using a Charm spell, a type of hypnosis spell. But thanks to you barging in, the Charm was lifted, so this is my way of saying thanks.

Y/N: I noticed that too. Magic like that is illegal for most shops to even stock, let alone sell. Must've gotten it through some shady connections.

You take a sip of juice.

Natsu: I see.

Lucy: I know I don't seem like it, but I'm actually a wizard myself! I haven't joined a guild yet, though.

Natsu: Uh...

Lucy: Oh yeah... It looked like you guys were searching for someone.

Happy: Aye! Igneel!

Natsu: We'd heard that a salamander had come to this town, so it's good we checked it out. But I guess it was someone else.

Happy: He didn't even look like a salamander.

Natsu: They're fire dragons, so I thought we'd find him...

Lucy: What kind of human looks like a fire dragon?

Natsu: He's not human. Igneel's an actual dragon.

Lucy understandably freaks out. Dragons are not only rare, but considered extremely powerful.

Lucy: Something like that wouldn't be in the middle of a town!

You just sigh as Natsu and Happy sit stunned.

Lucy: You just realized this, now?!

Y/N: Told you so...

Lucy places money on the table and starts to walk away.

Lucy: Anyway, I have to get going, so take your time.

Waitress: Thank you, come again.

The waitress freezes with shock, and Lucy turns to find both Happy and Natsu bowed with their heads to the floor in front of her.

Natsu: We appreciate your kindness!

Happy: Kindness!

Lucy: Stop it already! You're embarrassing me!

Lucy sighs, but then Natsu has an idea.

Natsu: You can have this!

He holds out Salamander's autograph.

Lucy: Who'd want that?!

Y/N: Thanks for the food.

Later, that night, Natsu and Happy seem to have only just finished eating.

Natsu: What a meal!

Happy: Aye! Oh yeah... Is that the ship Salamander's party is at?

He points at the boat and Natsu immediately starts to get sick.

Natsu: Gonna hurl...

Happy looks over at a small gathering of girls nearby.

Girl1: Look at that! That's Salamander's ship!

Girl2: Salamander?

Girl1: You don't know him? He's the famous Fairy Tail wizard that came to town!

Natsu and Happy both react to that, then Natsu's eyes narrow.

Natsu: Fairy Tail?

He looks over at the ship with concern, but turns away again when he starts to get sick.

Natsu: Fairy Tail...

Happy realizes something... Their trio's missing someone.

Happy: Where's Y/N?

Meanwhile, on the ship, Lucy is having a private dinner with Salamander. They both have drinks in front of them.

Salamander: Lucy, was it? What a pretty name.

Lucy: Thanks...

Salamander: Let's start off with a toast.

He snaps his fingers and small drops of her drink start floating in the air in front of her.

Salamander: Now, open wide, and savor the fruit flavored gems as they enter your mouth...

Lucy's Thoughts: I've got to deal with it! Gotta hang in there!

She closes her eyes and opens her mouth as the drops float closer. But then, at the last moment, her eyes open and she slaps the drink out of the air.

Lucy: What's the meaning of this? That drink's laced with a sleep inducer.

Salamander chuckles.

Lucy: Don't get any ideas. I want to join Fairy Tail, but not like this.

Salamander: What a handful you are, girly!

Curtains around the room pull back to reveal the crew of the ship, carrying the other party guests asleep in their arms.

Lucy: What the heck is this?

Salamander: Welcome to my ship. Please be good until we reach Bosco.

Lucy: Bosco?! What about Fairy Tail?

Crew Member: That's our Salamander! We've got ourselves quite a haul this time!

Lucy: Why, you...

Lucy reaches behind her and pulls out a loop with keys on it. Salamander reacts quickly and uses his magic to grab them

Salamander: Gate Keys? So you're a Celestial Wizard? This magic can only be used by the contract holders, so these are useless to me.

He throws them out the window and they fall into the ocean.

Lucy's Thoughts: What's the matter with this guy? What a horrible thing to do... So this... So this is what it means to be a Fairy Tail wizard? Using magic for evil and tricking people... That's the worst kind of wizard there is!

You appear out of nowhere and punch Salamander.

Lucy: Y/N?!

Y/N: I had a feeling something wasn't right here. Glad I followed my hunch...

Suddenly, Natsu drops from the sky and smashes through the roof of the ship.

Lucy: Natsu!

But, as the boat shifts, Natsu starts to get sick.

Y/N: Oh for the love of...

Natsu: It's no use...

Lucy: Lame!

Happy: Lucy, Y/N, what are you doing?

The little blue cat is hovering above the hole Natsu had made, now with wings on his back.

Lucy: Happy! I was tricked. Salamander said he'd help me join Fairy Tail. Wait, since when did you have wings?

Happy: That's not important!

Y/N: Happy, get Lucy out of here!

He grabs Lucy and flies off.

Salamander: After her! It'll be trouble if the council gets wind of this!

Lucy: Hey, what about Natsu and Y/N?

Happy: I can't carry more than one person!

Salamander: You think you can escape? Prominence Whip!

He sends multiple streams of purple fire at the two flying above him, but Happy dodges each one and they eventually collide, causing a firework-like explosion while the crew cheers.

Salamander: That's one fast cat...

Y/N: Hey!

You draw a sword with a flame design on the hilt.

Y/N: Your fight's with me, you fire spitting reject.

Lucy: I've got to save Natsu, Y/N, and the other girls!

Happy: Lucy, listen up.

Lucy: What is it now?

Happy: My transformation ran out.

Happy's wings disappear and they fall into the water.

Lucy: What!?

Once underwater, Lucy swims util she spots something shining. Her keys!

Meanwhile, on the ship, Natsu is being kicked by the crew while he lays motionless on the deck. You are now swinging your sword at Salamander as he dodges.

Salamander: Ah, well... First we hurry to Bosco!

He dodges another slash and blasts you point blank with fire.

Suddenly, Natsu catches the leg of one of the crew members before he can be kicked again.

Natsu: Fairy... Tail... You?!

Happy and Lucy resurface nearby.

Lucy: Here I go! Open, gate of the water bearer! Aquarius!

She swings one of her golden keys around, then dips the end into the water as a magic circle appears and creates a swirl of water. From it emerges a mermaid with a jug in her hands.

Happy: A fish!

Lucy: Um, no... I'm a celestial wizard, see. Aquarius! Use your power and sweep that ship up onto the shore!

Aquarius: Tch...

Lucy: What's with the sass?!

Aquarius: Let me tell you something. The next time you drop my key, I'll kill you.

Lucy: S-Sorry!

Aquarius gathers water in her jar, then sends it flying in a wave toward shore, sweeping the ship along with it. Lucy and Happy are caught in a whirlpool as well.

Lucy: Don't sweep me away too!

The wave collides with the beach, wrecking the ship.

Lucy: What were you thinking? You caught me in the attack!

Aquarius: Oh... I ended up sweeping the ship as well.

Lucy: You were aiming for me?!

Aquarius: Don't call me for a while. I will be on vacation for a week with my boyfriend. And he's hot.

Lucy: Don't rub it in!

Meanwhile, a several civilians have gathered near the shipwreck.

Onlookers: What is this? A ship was thrown into the port!

Salamander: Damn it! What the...

Natsu stands and looks down from the top of the ship. You stand beside him, with a burnt jacket but mostly unharmed.

Lucy: Natsu! Y/N!

Natsu: You, a Fairy Tail wizard?

Salamander: And what's it to you? Get 'em, boys!

Crew: Right!

Natsu: Take a good look at this face, Y/N...

He removes his jacket, revealing a very muscular build.

Y/N: I see it...

Lucy: Guys! Be careful!

Happy: Don't worry. I should have told you sooner, but Natsu and Y/N are also wizards.

With a single punch, Natsu knocks away multiple crew members attacking him, and turns his arm to show a guild mark. You toss off your ruined jacket to reveal your guild mark on your opposite arm.

Natsu: I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail!

Y/N: And I'm Y/N of Fairy Tail!

Both: And we've never seen you before!

Lucy: Fairy Tail? Natsu and Y/N are Fairy Tail wizards?

Crew Member: Those marks... They're the real deal, Bora!

Bora: Idiot! Don't use my name!

Happy: Bora the Prominence. He was thrown out of the Titan Nose guild a few years ago for bad behavior.

Natsu: I ain't gonna let you get away with pretending to be from Fairy Tail!

Bora: And what do you plan to do about it, brats?! Prominence Typhoon!

He sends a huge blast of fire at the two of you, creating a massive explosion.

Lucy: Natsu! Y/N!

Bora turns with a smile, but freezes when he hears voices behind him.

Natsu: Gross! Are you really a fire wizard? I can't believe how gross this fire tastes!

Y/N: Not to mention weak...

While he speaks, Natsu is eating the flames around him, shocking everyone. He continues slurping them up and with a swipe of your sword, you disperse the remaining embers.

Natsu: Thanks for the meal.

Crew member: What the heck are they?

Happy: Fire isn't going to work on them...

Lucy: I've never seen magic like that.

Natsu: Now I've got a fire in my belly.

He punches his fists together, creating a magic circle and coating himself in flames while you reveal the strange belt you're wearing before placing your sword in it.

You then pull out a small book.

Brave Dragon!

You open it, causing the object to recite a story.

Katsute subete wo horobosu hodo no idaina chikara wo tenishita shinjuu ga ita...

You then place the book in your belt and pull the sword out.

Rekka Battou!

Y/N: Henshin!

Brave Dragon~! Rekka Issatsu! Yuuki no ryuu to Kaeken Rekka ga majiwaru toki, shinku no tsurugi ga aku wo tsuranuku!

You slash with your sword, creating a flaming X, and a red dragon appears and flies around you, transforming you. The transformation is topped by the X you slashed shrinking down and becoming a visor for your new helmet.

Natsu: Here I go! Fire Dragon... Roar!

He brings his hands up to his mouth and breathes out a stream of fire that causes a huge explosion and defeats most of Bora's crew. You on the other hand ready your sword and charge, slashing at the rest.

Crew Memer: Bora. I've seen that guy before. With the pink hair, and the scarf that looks like scales... It's got to be him! He's the real...

Lucy: Salamander!

Crew Member 2: And that other guy... With the sacred sword of fire... Saber!

Natsu: Remember this! This is what real Fairy Tail wizards are!

He covers his hands in fire and dashes toward Bora, dodging his attacks before finally planting a fist in his face. You spin with your sword and strike Bora with multiple slashes.

Lucy: Is that really magic?

Happy: It's a lost form of magic that gives him the abilities of a dragon.

Lucy: What about Y/N?

Happy: Well... I'm not fully sure how Y/N's magic works. But it's connected to his sword.

Bora: Hell Prominence!

He shoots a beam of flames, destroying an entire line of buildings.

Happy: But Natsu uses Dragon Slayer magic! Igneel taught it to him.

Bora: Damn you!

Natsu catches and eats a large fireball that Bora launched at him.

Natsu: I'm getting a pretty good meal here! Listen up, jerk. I'm gonna smoke you like a fish!

Bora: Huh?!

Natsu: Take this! Fire Dragon Iron Fist!

You sheath Rekka once again and pull the trigger on the blade.

Hissatsu Dokuha!

You then pull the sword's trigger a second time.

Saber: Dragon Flame Impact!

Dragon! Issatsu Geki! Fire!

Natsu's fist catches fire as your right leg is engulfed in flames and the two of you strike Bora with enough force to send him flying.

Happy: Natsu, you don't smoke things using flames...

Lucy: Wow... But... Isn't this going a bit overboard?

She looks in awe at the destruction in front of her.

Happy: Aye!

Lucy: "Aye" nothing!

A large group of soldiers is then seen marching toward them.

Lucy: The military?

She's suddenly yanked away by Natsu as he runs down the street.

Natsu: Crap, let's get outta here!

Y/N: Damn it, Natsu!

Natsu: You helped!

Lucy: Why are you taking me with you?

Natsu: Well, you wanted to join our guild, right? Come with us!

Lucy: Sure!

End of Part 1

A/N: Hope you all enjoyed this part. I've been working on this on the side for a while and since 100 Year Quest is finally being adapted, I figured I'd celebrate with this.
