Fairy Tail: Civil War

Author's Notes: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I am extremely sorry for taking so long to update this story. I thank you for all of the support that you guys have given me the past several months with this. After taking several months of not writing, I have fully caught up to the manga, and it has given me inspiration to continue this. However...as you can see...I have started this story from the beginning. The reasons are:

#1: I had forgotten how much of the story had gone, so I thought that it would be better if I started from scratch.

#2: Like I said, I had finished catching up to the manga, and the manga had given me not only inspiration to continue, but also a better time era to do this story.

#3: I have practiced a lot of writing in my off time, so I will be able to describe what happens a whole lot better.

I hope that you all understand, and believe me, this is going to be bigger and better than it was before! I hope that you enjoy this. And if you do, please remember to comment with your opinions, suggestions, questions, and all that fun jazz.

Also, before anyone does get in my face about this, this story does take place in an alternate universe, but the only difference is that Makarov is still at Fairy Tail! Now, for the timeline: this takes place directly after the Avatar arc, so before the Alvarez/Spriggan arcs.

One last thing, I swear! I am also working on a fan-fiction based entirely in Edolas. I'll keep you guys updated on that. Now then, enjoy the rebirth of "Fairy Tail: Civil War"! :D

Prologue:

Smoke, fire, blood, death, and destruction...all that the human eye could see in every direction. Ladies and gentlemen...welcome to the once-peaceful city of Magnolia. This city with a population of several thousand, and which used to be a very popular tourist attraction in the kingdom of Fiore, was now reduced to nothing but ashes and dust. The thousands of people who used to happily live in this once-thriving city had all vanished, with no living creature to be found. The large building that had used to house the guild that had won what was known as the best Grand Magic Games, "Fairy Tail", had been utterly destroyed; bits and pieces of the stone bricks, wood benches, and glass panes that made up the once-breathtaking guild hall now laid scattered, broken, and crumbled across the ground. And near where the entrance of the guild hall used to be laid the flag of the Fairy Tail guild, now ripped and torn into pieces. What had caused all of this widespread destruction, that had completely obliterated the city's beauty? The answer to that question is quite simple:

Civil War...

Outside of the game of where the once-proud guild hall stood, two individuals stood facing each other amidst the smoke and flames. In the sky, lightning crack and flashed, and thunder roared as the thick, heavy black smoke blocked out the little light that the moon was giving; giving the city only one source of light: The multiple fires that had lit up the city like a Roman Candle, which gave the sky an eerie red/orange/pink color.

One of the individuals was flung by his opponent into one of the few buildings still standing, which collapsed in on itself, giving off a cloud of dust which added to the black smoke.

"There is no where else for you to run, Natsu." The black-haired man who had thrown his opponent into the building said quietly. He was dressed...well...half-dressed would be more appropriate. He wore dark-green pants that went down and over part of his black boots. Over his bare chest he wore a silver necklace which resembled a sword with a sword in it. Attached to the right side of his pants was a metal bracelet and chain, and below his collarbone was a dark-blue stamp...which showed the emblem of the proud guild that he was a member of. "You might as well just give up." He said sternly.

His opponent stood up and grinned as the black-haired wizard spoke to him. He was a lean, muscular young man who was around average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair. He wore a sleeveless, gold-trimmed black waistcoat, which was left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest. A gold-trimmed black cloth hung around his waist and reached down to his knees, held by a leather-brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle. He wore white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals, and a scale-patterned scarf that was flung around his neck. Just below his right shoulder was a red stamp that revealed the same symbol as the other man's.

"Heh," The man known as Natsu grinned as he dusted himself off. "That was a good shot. Never would've thought that we'd end up fightin' like this, Gray." Natsu narrowed his black eyes as he turned and glared at his opponent, who nodded slightly.

"Same, but it is your own fault!" Gray responded. He began to place his hands in front of him as a icy light-gray-blueish mist began to form and circle him. "If it wasn't for your stubbornness, we would have never needed to fight like this."

"My stubbornness!?" Natsu retorted angrily. "You guys are the ones who started it!"

"I've tried talking to you many times, Natsu." Gray shook his head sadly as his hands connected with each other. At the sight of it, Natsu clenched his fist as flames began to envelop around it. "But it appears that your mind is set." The black-haired wizard closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them once again. "Let's finish this!"

"Sounds good to me!" Natsu shouted as the two fighters threw themselves at each other. "This ends now!"

Now, you might be wondering, why are these two, who were not only members of the same Fairy Tail guild which we had seen earlier, but were also close friends, fighting against each other like this? The answer lies several weeks in the past, and it is there where we shall go, so that the events that are now taking place may make sense.
