Chapter 1: Dragon and Demon vs. Transportation

(Que Fairy Tail OP)

A train stopped at Hargeon port. At one of the doors was a talking blue cat, Happy, pulling on the lump body known as Natsu Dragneel under the influence known as motion sickness. They arrived here on the news of someone named Salamander in this port town. Thinking it was Igneel, Natsu wasted no time for second thought to the town; a second thought he should've used concerning he landed himself on a two hour train ride.

"C'mon, Natsu," said Happy, pulling Natsu by his scarf, "We gotta go."

"Sorry, buddy." groaned Natsu, his cheeks purple and puffed, "I - can't go - on."

"But this is where that Igneel is supposed to be, right?" said Happy, pulling harder.

"Just give me a second, would ya?" Natsu whined, hanging over the window.

In another cart on the same train, two women of the same age were struggling to get off. One was shorter with long hazel hair going down her back, wide sky eyes, ears adorned with feathers, and wore a golden skirt. At her hip was a strap of golden Celestial keys. This was Cynthia Vermillion. She was struggling to get her friend out of the cart. The other girl was taller, wearing a blue and white jacket underneath a cloak. Her hair was golden and she had hazel eyes. On her right arm was a crimson brand that was stuck to her skin. This was Lucy Heartfillia. She suffered not from motion sickness, but from cramps every time on any transport and thus disabled her movement.

"Let's go, Lucy." said Cynthia, tugging Lucy by her hair, "Jeez, you could lose a few."

"Shut up." groaned Lucy in pain. "Maybe if you weren't so small-!"

"But there's a magic shop here in town." argued Cynthia, "I have to go to see if they have any Celestial keys."

Lucy reached into her pouch and threw her purse to Cynthia.

"GO!" cried Lucy, "Just - leave me here for a moment."

"As if I'm going to leave you here!" retorted Cynthia.

It was too late. The doors of the train shut close, leaving Cynthia and Happy on the station and Lucy and Natsu on the train. As the train started to gain motion, their ailments returned to them.

"GODDAMMIT!" yelled Lucy out the window.

"NO!" cried Natsu, "NO!"

"Uh oh." said Happy, "There he goes."

(Time-skip)

Once Natsu got off the train and reunited with Happy, they walked through the streets of Fairy Tail to find Salamander. On the way, they found Lucy, grumbling to herself as she was on the scent of Cynthia.

"Cynthia!" called Lucy, "Where are you?!"

"What's wrong?" asked Natsu.

When they looked back at each other, their eyes locked in place in a stare. The air between them grew in intense heat. Only Happy noticed the pressure, but Lucy and Natsu didn't even notice.

Lucy pouted. "I got stuck on another ride on that fucking train, so my friend got lost in this town without me. Sonuva... Thanks for the help, but I got this."

Suddenly, their ears pricked at the roar of a crowd nearby that roared, "Salamander!".

"Salamander!" cried Happy, joyous that their search came to an end.

"Well, speak of the devil." said Natsu, running off to the crowd, "We're in luck today Happy."

"'Salamander'," cried Lucy, pacing with Natsu and Happy to the crowd, "as in the fire mage from Fairy Tail?! If such a guy from Fairy Tail is here, then that's where Cynthia would be so she could join the guild."

The crowd around 'Salamander' were a bunch of fan girls with eyes beating with valentine hearts. By scent, Lucy found Cynthia with a hanging jaw and eyes full of ecstatic joy. Lucy could even hear the thump of Cynthia's heart.

"Cynthia." said Lucy with a smile. On first notice, Lucy could tell something was off with Cynthia. She made no response to Lucy at all, like she was a ghost.

"Hey Igneel, it's been-" cried Natsu as he pushed through the crowd, then his face turned into disappointment, "Who the heck are you?"

Natsu's sudden interruption broke the charm on Cynthia, who became flustered. The next Natsu knew, a bunch of fan girls ganged up on him suddenly.

"Wha-What?" mumbled Cynthia, scratching through her head, "How did I get here?"

Lucy hugged Cynthia, glad she was free. She turned her sights on the geezer with the illegal charms to beat him into a burnt pulp. Before she could raise an ignited fist of hellfire, the wizard ascended into the air via purple fire.

"Dammit." grumbled Lucy, tightening her fist, "If I ever see that guy again, I'm going to turn him into a torch."

"Let him go, Lucy." said Cynthia, "I doubt that guy was ever from Fairy Tail. Let's go check to see if that pink-haired guy is alright."


Lucy would've never brought Natsu and Happy to buy them lunch if it weren't for Cynthia's hospitality. After some introductions and their meal was brought, their table stacked high with plates and bowls as Lucy and Natsu chowed down, leaving Happy and Cynthia as the only conversationalists.

"So, uh," said Cynthia, "nice to meet you, Natsu and Happy."

"Aye." said Happy.

'Never thought I'd meet another person who couldn't slow down on some food than Lucy.' thought Cynthia, 'She's going to be so pissed when we get the bill.'

"I get that guy was using illegal charms to hypnotize me," said Cynthia as food went flying in all directions, "so thank you guys for snapping me out of it. We may not look like it, but Lucy and I are actually mages ourselves. We're just trying to find the right one. And that's Fairy Tail."

"That's nice." said Natsu, chewing on a mouthful of noodles.

Cynthia went on a long explanation of how guilds work, but all three of them were too busy gorging on food to satisfy their hungry stomachs. Lucy and Natsu fought over a whole octopus, but before they revealed their magic Cynthia interrupted them asking a question for Natsu and Happy.

"Were you trying to find someone here?" Cynthia asked.

"We're looking for Igneel." said Happy.

"We heard a rumor that a Salamander was coming through here." Natsu elaborated as he chewed on half a pizza, "Turns out it was somebody else."

"That guy didn't look like a dragon at all." said Happy.

"I bet he couldn't even breath fire." said Natsu.

Lucy almost choked on that last sentence till she realized she wasn't the fire breather he was talking about. Cynthia looked confused.

"I don't get it." said Cynthia, "Does your friend look like a dragon?"

"Nah, you got it all wrong." said Natsu, swallowing, "Igneel is a dragon."

Lucy laughed as she chugged down her drink. "You're an idiot then. Why would a dragon show up in the middle of town?"

Natsu and Happy were speechless trying to figure out some reply to Lucy. But Lucy and Cynthia paid the bill and left the restaurant.

"Those two are pretty stupid." said Lucy.

"I think they were kind of nice." said Cynthia, "I think dragons are the coolest thing next to fairies."


(Time-Skip)

Lucy left to get some food in the night only to come back to the apartment with Cynthia missing. She already had her suspicions, and tracked her friend's scent to the docks into the distance. Lucy cursed when she realized Cynthia was on a boat, but would never let her be kidnapped by some creep with a magical charm.

Lucy was about to jet some fire through her feet until she caught two familiar scents. Behind her was Natsu, flying after the boat via Happy with unfolded wings.

'Wha-How in the-' thought Lucy, trying to wrap her head around what she saw, 'Forget about it, Lucy. You've gotta save Cynthia now.'

Natsu may have gotten a head-start, but Lucy flowed fire through her feet and made herself a rocket after the boat close-behind Natsu but not enough for him to notice and realize another slayer like him was with him.

As Cynthia was about to be put under like the other girls, Natsu crashed in through the ceiling, splinters going in all directions. For a moment, Natsu gave a hard glare at the thugs around him.

"Hey, it's you, Natsu." cheered Cynthia.

Suddenly, Natsu went purple and collapsed on the ground to try and hold in his dinner. Next, Lucy crashed through the boat through the wall, but ended up in the (well) same boat as Natsu.

"Cynthia I'm here-" Lucy cried before succumbing to the wave of cramps through her body, "AAARGH - I fucking hate vehicles of every fucking kind!"

"Same here!" groaned Natsu.

"Hey Cynthia, Lucy," called Happy through the hole in the ceiling, "what are you doing here?"

"This guy," said Cynthia, pointing to Salamander, "tricked by saying he would get me into Fairy Tail."

"Better get you out of here then." Happy wrapped his tail around Cynthia and flew off.

Cynthia and Happy didn't get far before Happy's magic ran out. In the water, Cynthia found her gate keys that Salamander had thrown earlier. Once she resurfaced, Cynthia grudgingly picked the Aquarius key.

"Open, Gate of the Water-Bearer: Aquarius."

A golden light shined and then appeared a mermaid with blue hair. Cynthia then pointed to the boat out at sea.

"Please," ordered Cynthia, "use your power to drive that boat back into shore."

Aquarius gave that familiar glare that sent shivers down Cynthia's spine. She leaned in close till all Cynthia could see was her face.

"Listen here." snarled Aquarius, leering, "You may be my new contractor, but only Lucy gets to order me around. And if you throw my key like that again, you're dead."

"Yes, ma'am." whimpered Cynthia.

Aquarius manipulated the sea to her will to summon a tsunami to wash the boat, Happy, and Cynthia back to shore. When Cynthia came to, she was back on the shore, and some of town was in splinters where the ship crashed nearby.

"Why is the sea angry?!" exclaimed Natsu.

"Oh, shoot." said Aquarius, "I got the boat, too."

"You were aiming for me!?" exclaimed Cynthia, "Why do you have to be so mean?"

"Ta-ta."

Above, Cynthia and Happy saw Lucy and Natsu crawl out of the wreck of the boat. Lucy stared down at the thugs below with a demon's glare. In her mind, she thought of the punishment she would inflict for kidnapping Cynthia like that.

"I appreciate the help, Natsu." said Lucy.

"Don't." said Natsu, taking off his jacket and cracking his knuckles, "I've got my own business with these guys."

"Don't worry, Cynthia." said Happy, "Your friend will be alright. Natsu is a mage too."

Two thugs charged at him, but they were knocked aside with two quick strikes from Natsu, who glared down at 'Salamander'.

"I'm a Fairy Tail wizard," cried Natsu, "and I've never seen you before."

'He's from Fairy Tail!?' thought Lucy.

Unknown to Natsu, a thug of big build sneaked behind Lucy. Lucy really wanted him in close range.

Cynthia smiled. "Oh, I'm not worried at all. In fact, I feel kind of bad for them."

Lucy caught the thug's hand and held it with greater strength with ease. With a flick, Lucy made him twirl in the air and kicked him away straight on the head. Both Natsu and Lucy descended down the wreckage toward 'Salamander'.

"I don't care who you are." said Natsu, "I'm not gonna let anybody dirty the image of Fairy Tail."

"The second you used magic to kidnap Cynthia," added Lucy, "was the second you pissed me the fuck off."

"Big talk." said Salamander, "Providence Typhoon."

'Salamander' blasted Lucy and Natsu with a purple fire and ignited the wreckage in fire. Neither Cynthia nor Happy looked worried at all though.

"As if fire would work on Natsu/Lucy." said Cynthia and Happy, "Huh, what did you just say?"

Suddenly, there was a draining noise as Natsu revealed himself consuming the flames. Cynthia was surprised and let out a gasp. All the thugs had hanging jaws at the sight.

"Are you sure you're a fire mage?" said Natsu as he ate the fire, "These flames are nasty."

Then, there was another draining noise as Lucy appeared eating the flames as well, catching Natsu's eye for half-a-glance. Happy's own jaw started to hang, but Cynthia stretched a smile.

'These guys are so screwed.' thought Cynthia.

"As if I was pissed off enough." cried Lucy as demon skin spread from her arm and her eyes changed to bright pink, "Ugh, these flames are disgusting."

Smoke rose at their feet with each step. Their eyes turned inhuman as they stared at the thugs cowering in fear.

"Now I've got fire in me that's raging to get out." roared Lucy and Natsu, smacking their fists together.

They stomped their feet. Something gurgled within them as their cheeks puffed and the heat around them spiked.

"Fire Demon's Rage."

"Fire Dragon's Roar."

Cupping their hands in a tube over their mouths, Lucy and Natsu breathed a stream of gold and red fire upon the thugs below. The area around them turned into a fiery massacre, and Happy and Cynthia watched the fireworks go off.

Happy explained Natsu's magic to Cynthia, "Natsu's magic is a brand that nobody uses anymore called Dragon Slayer magic. It gives him the power of a fire dragon in battle. I guess you already knew that since your friend is one too."

"Actually," clarified, "Lucy uses a slightly different magic called Demon Slayer magic. Like Natsu's, it grants her power of another entity but it's a fire demon instead of a dragon. You're friend is definitely a surprise though. I never thought that kind of magic existed."

As most of the thugs lay on the ground before the two fire slayers, one of them recognized Natsu.

"Hey boss," he said, "I know this guy from somewhere. The pink hair and the scaly scarf. There's no doubt about it. That's the real Salamander."

"He's Salamander?!" exclaimed Cynthia.

"That's not it." said another, looking at Lucy, "That girl with the red skin and green cloak. That's her. The one who strolled through the north and took out the bandit clans there. That's the Northern Devil."

Lucy and Natsu tightened their fists and ignited them in fire. As they charged forth, the fake Salamander launched a rain of purple fire balls without effect. Natsu jumped up and punched him off his hovering fire, and Lucy followed-up with a fire fist that sent him across the port.

"So I guess this 'Igneel' taught him this magic?" asked Cynthia.

"That's right." said Happy.

'Salamander' sent down a fireball, but Lucy and Natsu caught it with one hand each and consumed the fire in one gulp. Then, a ring fire came to life at their feet and their fists ignited in fire once again.

"Get ready." roared Natsu, "I'm about to cook you like a smoked fish."

"What?" exclaimed 'Salamander'.

"And I'm going to burn off that hand of yours with all those charms." added Lucy.

"Please no." whimpered 'Salamander'.

Natsu and Lucy jumped high in the air after the faker, roaring as they did. They attacked in such perfect sync that their fires mixed for just a moment.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist."

"Fire Demon's Killer Fist."

With a dual fire punch, Natsu and Lucy sent the fake Salamander through the air. There was so much force in that attack that the two caused more destruction when the faker crashed through the port and they accidentally destroyed numerous property.

"You overdid it again." said Cynthia and Happy.

Lucy sighed, but Natsu didn't seem to mind even as the town guard closed onto them from across the street. At last second, they suddenly took a turn and went the other way.

"That's weird." said Happy, "Aren't they supposed to go after us?"

"They are." said Cynthia, "I simply used my Illusion magic to think that this is an empty street and we're over there."

"That's so cool." said Happy.

"As always, you're amazing, Cynthia." complimented Lucy.

"Wait a minute." said Lucy/Natsu. They stared at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly exclaimed, "Did you breath fire like I do?"

"They now just realize that." said Cynthia flatly.

"How do you know Dragon Slayer magic?" interrogated Natsu, "Did Igneel teach you too? Do you know where he is?"

"For the record," snapped Lucy, "I've never seen a dragon in my life. I've never heard of Dragon Slayer magic until you came along. I use Demon Slayer magic, but it looks like we use the same element."

Suddenly, Happy took Cynthia and Natsu dragged Lucy by her arm as they sped off down the road. Lucy couldn't get a foothold as her feet stayed in the air.

"Hey!" snapped Lucy, "Where are you taking us?"

"To Fairy Tail of course." said Natsu, "You wanted to join, didn't you?"

"Really?" squeaked Cynthia with joy, "Then don't stop till we get there."

Lucy managed to loose from Natsu's grip and ran along beside him. Natsu glanced at Lucy with a peculiar expression on his face.

"That magic of yours." said Natsu, "I kinda like it. I'm excited to have someone like you at the guild hall."

Lucy was taken back by this compliment. It's not like other people didn't think she was cool, but the fact it was coming from a Fire Dragon Slayer somehow eased up on Lucy. A little bit of color flooded her cheeks.

"Well," replied Lucy, "you're... not bad yourself."

For some reason, Lucy's heart started to quicken around Natsu. She didn't know why. At least, not yet.


Did you think that was awesome with a demon-and-dragon-style beatdown? Just wait till the next chapters coming soon. (I will leave out a few arcs that didn't have a big enough difference from the original.)
