Team Gildarts: Gildarts, Cana, Levy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Mira, and Elfman

Gildarts is a man who has seen many thing, some wonderful and beautiful other hideous and inhuman, but coming into a new world with out magic and mostly water is a new experience. In Earthland, a world of magic, he is strong really strong so strong that there is little that can intimidate him let alone scare him, but here in this world, he's just like the average citizens back home. Fragile and easy to break. He doesn't like to admit it but he's a bit scared, if this was a month ago Gildarts would have seen this as nothing more of a new challenge, but now..now he has something to live for. A daughter, his daughter, whose just as fragile as he is. He's scared that something might happen to his baby girl, something that would take her away from him. Looking out at the island that they are getting closer to, Gildarts is scared to what they may find there because he knows even if Fairy Tail isn't looking for trouble, trouble seems to have a way of finding Fair Tail.

"We're almost there." said Cana who was standing besides him

"Yeah, remember we're not here looking for trouble just to find some answers and maybe some supplies if we can." Said Gildarts

"Che, trouble has a way of finding us, that's the reason why we're in this mess in the first place." Muttered Gajeel

Everyone on the raft looked at the island and they knew that Gajeel was right trouble finds them, which was why Gildarts and everyone else were scared, even if some of them wouldn't admit it. A warm breeze pushing their raft faster towards the island, made their hearts jump, as soon as they took a single step on land their mission and Fairy Tails future and survival would depend on them.

"OK remember to stick together and watch each others back." Said Gildarts

Taking a breath, Gildarts stepped off of the raft and on to the island, they landed on a beach there didn't seem to be any signs of civilization near by as far as they could tell. walking forward, everyone stood shoulder to shoulder in a line and stared at the forest that was more inland of the island. They knew that they could possibly find fruits and maybe wild life that they could gather and eat and of course bring back to everyone else on Tenrou.

"Ok lets split up in to teams of two, and stay with in shouting distance of each other." Ordered Gildarts, " Cana you're with me, Gajeel, Pantherlily and Levy, and that leaves Mira with Elfman."

Splitting off as soon as they entered the forest the groups began to search around for anything to eat, but all they seemed to find were plants, trees and bugs. After awhile Mira and Elfman heard rustling near by, they looked at the shrubs a few feet off to the side of them and saw some movement. Rustling was heard and what sounded like oinking, the siblings looked at each other and knew that they would have food soon enough, all they had to do was a little hunting. Walking slowly towards the shrubs the rustling became louder and louder standing a few feet away from the shrubs the brother and sister decided that Elfman would come from the left and Mira from the right A very simple plan...for anyone who wan't in Fairy Tail.

Stomping out of the shrubbery a man sized boar charged out, the brother and sister team screamed and began to run away from the beast.

Gajeel and Pantherlily jumped out of the side and tried to tackle the giant boar only to bounce off of its hide.

"Damn what the hell is that thing made of?" asked Gajeel

"Levy who was near by began to yell. "Gildart! We kinda need you right about now!"

The boar hearing Levy shouting turned its head and charged towards her causing her to scream in fright, Gajeel again tried to tackle him only to fall flat on his ass.

"Damn it, Elfman get your ass over hear and help!" yelled Gajeel

Shouting his catchphrase of 'Man!" Elfman charged the beast and tackled its hind legs, Gajeel seeing this goes for the legs in the front. Both of the men wrestling down the giant boar were getting clobbered, Elfman would get kicked by one of its legs that managed to get free while Gajeel had to deal with the tuck that the boar tried to impale him with.

Finally Gildarts jumps from above on to the back of the beast and starts pummeling on its neck, Mira and Cana not wanting to sit by began to attack it with sticks and stones. One of the stones managed to hit it in the eye, and the creature began to roar and wildly buck trying to free itself from the hold, one of Gildart's punch however managed to stun it, seeing this Gildarts began and punch again and again on the back of the head. Even though none of them had magic, they were still strong as this realization popped into their heads all of them bean to gain confidence and began to beat down the beast. And Finally knocking it out.

Breathing heavily Everyone circled around it. Gildarts handed Elfman a boulder that he casually picked up, Elfman lifted the boulder over his head and crashed it down on the boar, the girls turned their heads away.

"Thank you." Muttered Gildarts, "Nothing shall go to waste."

Gajeel and Elfman both carried the boar over to the raft, while the others continued to search for food. MIra and Cana heard noises coming over a near by hill, it didn't sound like an animal it almost sounded like laughter. There could be people on the island!

"Gildarts...Gildarts, get over hear." said Mira

Levy managed to hear them alerted Gildarts that the other girls were calling him, Pantherlily who was with Gildart went to see what they were calling him for.

"I think there could be someone on the island." said Cana

"Mhm we heard some laughter over the hill, maybe they could tell us about where we are." said Mira

"I don't know what would they be doing here on the island, it's clearly devoid of any cities or towns." Pointed out Pantherlily

"I agree, we don't know anything about them we have to be careful on what we say and do." said Levy

"We'll check it out, we need to find information, information that they might have." said GIldarts, "Stay close and be ready just in case anything goes down. Lily you stay behind and let Elfman and Gajeel where we are when they come, if anything does go down they'll be our little surprise."

"Got it." responded Pantherlily

"OK let's go." said Gildarts

The three girls and Gildarts walked up the hill, and looked at the base of the hill and saw that a group of more than ten men were sitting around in a circle, there were chest of various sizes near them, they were laughing and shouting. The men were dirty and scruffy looking, they had bandannas and earnings cutlass swords on the ground near them, and at the other side of the island was a ship, it wasn't anything huge but it was big enough to hold at least twelve. At the very top was a black flag with a skull and cross bones, only that the bones had what looked like punching gloves on them.

"Pirates." whispered Levy

"They have a ship, no doubt there are more of them there." Said Cana

"They might also have maps, equipment, money, and food." said Mira

"All the things that we need." finished Gildarts

"So we're going to steal from Pirates?' asked Levy

"Yes, I doubt they'll help us out of the kindness of their hearts." said Cana

"Ok it looks like all they have is swords, so we just have to fight in close quarters hit their arms and stomachs. Don't go for the face straight away, save it for later."

"Got it . Replied the girls

"Ok lets go." said Gildarts as he descended down the hill with the girls close bhind, half way down they were noticed by the group of men.

As soon as the Fairy Tail wizards reached the bottom of the hill the pirates were already standing ready to great them, Gildarts saw the look that the men were giving at the girls, he especially got ticked off when a couple of them were looking at his baby girl. Walking closer the pirates were muttering to themselves, chuckling and grinning.

"Hey I was hoping if you fine gentlemen could help us out, we're kinda in a bit of a jam." said Gildarts

"Sure, we'll help ya out, ain't that right fellahs." One of them said the captain maybe

"Yeah, we'd be mighty happy to help yer out, mighty happy indeed." said another eyeying Cana

Plastering a smile Gildarts said. " We'll that's good, I'm happy to hear that!"

And the next thing the man knew a fist crashed right into his stomach knocking the wind right out of him. Cana kicked the man who they all assumed was the captain, the man fell on his back he looked up only for a sandle clad foot knocked him out. All of the other pirates picked up theor swords and began to walk towards the group of wizards, Levy having some stones left over began to chuck them at the pirates, Mira went in and tackled someof them down and began to clobber them down. Cana managed to side step a slash and she followed it with punch to the stomach and a knee to the groin, Gildarts was doing well taking on two men at a time. He used their clumsy movements against them, they were probably intoxicated, making them crash in to each other or sometime hit one another. As she ran out of stones Levy let out a yelp when one of them men advanced towards her, when all of the sudden a black blur came crashing down, a hand gripped the mans head and slammed it on the ground. Gajeel turned towards Levy and grinned.

Elfman was just shoulder checking anyone that came close to his sister, his big mass worked on knocking the smaller pirates down for Mira to finish them off with a kick to the head.

Looking around at the beaten bodies of the pirates the group of Fairies grinned, they might not have magic anymore but they could still kick ass! Gajeel and Elfman went back to the raft to get the boar while Gildarts and the girls collect all of the pirates belongings an carry them to the pirates ship, their new ship. Once everyone was reunited and everything was on board, everyone let out a laugh at the events that unfolded through out the day, they were going to be alright, after all they're Fairy Tail.

Setting sail on their new ship, which they named Magnolia, and taking down the pirate flag Team Gildarts decided to head back to Tenrou first. They would look at the maps that they had found with the master and figure their next course of action. But while Team Gildarts was having a easy time with this group of pirates and getting food and materials back to Tenrou, Team Erza was having anything but an easy time.
