AN: The whole Lucy firing an energy blast from her breasts was a joke! Of course, I'm not going to have her had that kind of power!

The kingdom of Fiore.

A small, peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home. Bought and sold in every marketplace for most magic is merely a tool. A mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore.

But there's a certain guild in a certain town that sores high above the rest. One from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is Fairy Tail.

However, they weren't the only ones that knew magic. For long ago, giant monsters roamed the lands. Extremely powerful and intelligent creatures that lived in Earthland alongside mankind. Some even considered them to true rules of the world and called them the Titans. Some lived in harmony with humans and were worshiped as gods, while others were vile and wanted nothing more than to destroy whatever they saw. And others simply wanted to be left allow.

They were engines of ultimate destructions, but as time went on most of these Titans disappeared. And their existence remained in legends.

But there was one that didn't go away. A Titan considered by many to be an alpha predator that brought balance to nature, magic, and humanity. Some call him Earthland's last line of defense against total annihilation. Some call him an animal that's merely driven by instincts. But all believe him to being a god incarnated.

The King of the Monsters.

His name is…

SSSSSSSKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK

Godzilla

The Titan-Slayer of Fairy Tail

"Law of the Surface"

"The Eisenwald guild may have been defeated, but that is only one small victory in a much larger battle!" Magic Council member Grand Doma said to the other members. 2 days following the Eisenwald attack and their plan to use Lullaby were stopped by Sam and Fairy Tail, the members of the Council gathered around a large round table. They were discussing the recent events, as tensions caused by the attempted terrorism was affecting the higher-ups of Earthland.

"The number of Dark Guilds has been growing at quite an alarming rate," said Councilman Michello. "We have to come up with a plan to eliminate them all."

"But how would we do that?" asked another member of the council named Yajima.

"However's it done, we cannot allow Zeref magic to fall into the wrong hands again," said a man named Org as he held the cracked cursed flute form that was sealed inside a glass container.

"I don't understand how Eisenwald was able to obtain a tool of forbidden magic in the first place," Yajima said.

"I hate to say it, but the blame may extend all the way to the highest levels," Michello said.

But there was one council member that wasn't too troubled by these developments. That person was Siegrain, a young man whose most prominent features are his blue hair and a red tattoo above and under his right eye. He dressed in elegant yet simple robes; consisting of a long white frock-coat with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated standing collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right middle finger and usually had the medallion attesting his status as one of the Ten Wizard Saints around his neck, hidden by his jacket's collar.

Siegrain smirked with his arms crossed. "Whatever the case, although they're usually just a thorn in our sides, it seems Fairy Tail proved to be quite useful."

There was one other person that agreed with him. "They took down an entire guild with a handful of wizards. That's quite a feat," said Ultear Milkovich. She was a beautiful pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes. Her body was rather voluptuous, and she wore a long revealing dress, sporting a striped pattern.

"There's still something that concerns me, and it has to do with one of Fairy Tail's wizards," said councilwoman Belno. She then activated a green lacrima to display the last moments of the battle. Showing Sam powered up and taking down Lullaby by firing his Atomic Breath down the monster's throat.

"Who is he?" One council member asked after a moment of shock. They've never seen so much power in one person, and his appearance made even more questions. "What kind of Magic is that? Take-Over?"

"That would have been my first thought, but look at this."

The council watched the lacrima after the explosion. And then, in full display, they saw the shadow of the King of the Monsters, along with his mighty roar that echoed in the roar. Again, there was a moment of silence throughout the air for a moment as most of them were staring at the display in a mixture of anxiety and fear.

"G-God-Godzilla?" one council member breathed.

"Impossible!" Org shouted. "Godzilla's just a myth! Just as the rest of his kind! What do we know about this boy?"

"As of now, we have no record of this person, nor where he came from. All we know is that he showed up in Hargeon not too long ago. With his magic, he could even surpass Titania," Belno told the councilman. That's when she looked up and saw Siegrain smirking, which she did not like. "Is there something about this man that you find funny, Siegrain?"

"Just that Godzilla and the Titans being myths is silly to think," Siegrain said. "Fairy Tail does have an overabundance of strong and unique wizards. Who's to say that this man has a power that we don't know about? And you may not want to accept it, but it's because of him and Fairy Tail prevent the attack on the Guild Masters. Lives were spared. And none of us had to give up our hard-earn positions on this Council to save face."

"You fool! Are you insinuating the Council is somehow to blame?" One of the councilmen shouted.

"Enough of this nonsense," Org exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table. "Fairy Tail's good deeds are overshadowed by their reckless destruction."

Siegrain's smirk widened slightly widened. "If you ask me, you should show them some thanks and stop complaining. Why don't we take the opportunity to discuss the matter with them, as we set an example of them and learn more about this wizard."

As for the Titan-Slayer, Sam and his team returned to Fairy Tail soon after the Lullaby incident. Eisenwald's terrorism attempt at the Guild Masters' regular meeting site immediately became big news, and it wasn't long before the entire nation found out about it. Jasper got his money after turning over Kage and most of the Eisenwald members to the Royal Guards. However, what worried Sam was that Eligor wasn't arrested. He disappeared and it was likely that come back to Fairy Tail to retaliate.

When they finally arrived at the guild, they were greeted with cheers from the other guild members. Happy to see their Ultimate Team, and even welcomed the new cat into their guild, even if Jasper was a little abrasive.

At the moment, Jasper stood in front of Mirajane as she held the stamp. "So, what am I supposed to do?"

"Just tell me what color you want your stamp to be and I'll put it on your back," said the white-haired beautiful with her usual smile.

Jasper's eyes widened before he glared. "No way!" He exclaimed.

"What's the matter, Jasper?" Sam asked, who was sitting next to Cana at the bar. "You wanted to be in this guild, right? You have to get the stamp."

"I know that, monster-boy! I just...I'd rather have it somewhere else," Jasper said, crossing his arms and closing his eyes. Acting like that was his final word. He then turned around and pointed to the back of his head. "Just put right here!"

"Jasper, be nice," Sam said sternly.

"...White, please." Mirajane smiled and placed the stamp on the back of Jasper's head. When it was finished, she pulled it away to show results. Jasper Re-Constructed two mirrors to take a look, and smirked. "Out of sight, out of mind," said the jaded cat. He then jumped off the counter and walked.

Sam turned to Mirajane. "I'm so sorry about him," he said apologetically.

"It's okay," Mirajane said. "I think its kinda cute how he tries to act tough."

Cana then leaned a little to Sam a little bit with a glass of wine. "So, I saw the paper about what happened in Clover Town, handsome," she said as Erza sat down on the other side of him, ordering a piece of strawberry cake. "I heard you really leveled the place, huh?"

Sam groaned and laid head on the counter. "Please don't remind me," he whimpered. While he felt a sense of pride for having taken down Lullaby, he also felt really guilty for destroying most of the town.

But then his eyes widened and he turned to her. His cheeks blushing a little.

"Wait, did you just call me...?" He trailed off when he sensed someone attempting to sneak up on him.

Natsu launched himself from behind the Titan-Slayer with a fist on fire. Sam responded by simply ducking and the Dragon-Slayer sailed over his head. Mira was standing out of the way of his path, and she and the other girls around Sam watched as he crashed into the shelves that had bottles of wine and other items behind the bar counter. Cana nearly cried when she watched in horror all the wine pour onto the floor, with some bottles pouring on Natsu's head as he groaned in pain.

"All those...beautiful drinks..." she whimpered with white eyes and anime-style tears flowing down her face.

Natsu shook his head to clear it and stood up. "Hey, no fair!" He whined, as the scent of mixed alcohol stung his nose.

"When you go and recklessly attack someone, don't be surprised if something like that happened," Erza pointed with a tried sigh.

"Natsu, do you mind telling me what the hell you were trying to do," Sam demand, giving Natsu a dangerous narrow glare.

"Don't tell me you forgot about our deal!" Natsu proclaimed loudly. At his words, the Guild turned to the two boys, curious as to what he was talking about. Sam was a bit confused before he finally remembered.

"Oh...yeah, now I remembered."

When Lucy awoke, she wasn't in her new apartment. She wasn't in Magnolia. She didn't even think she was in Earthland. She found herself in a dark void a stone bridge that seemingly led straight to nowhere. The bridge was filled with blue glowing water that reached halfway to her knees.

She looked around, unsure of exactly where she was.

Mosura

Mosura

Lucy gasped when she heard the voices. They sounded like two girls singing. But where was it coming from? Just then, two familiar moths fluttered around her head. Their wings sprinkling a trail of sparkling dust that made Lucy smile. She then watched as they flew off in one of the directions the bridge led to and her curiosity got the best of her. She followed them as the voices continued to sing.

Lucy fell in love with the song. It was so lovely. But what was strangest of all, she felt like it was a calling to her. However, her journey came to an end when she stopped at the end of the bridge and the beginning of a flight of steps. When she looked up, she gasped.

At the top of the stairs was a giant egg.

The egg was fleshy rather than hard, and appeared to be coated in vine-like structures, and was producing bright and flashing bioluminescent lights which highlighted blue- and yellow-seeming segments.

Lucy stared at the egg as it pulsed its glowing light. She's never seen anything like it. Nervous, she traveled up the stairs. She was drawn to it like a moth to light. When the busty blonde reached the top, she stopped. Lucy then hesitantly reached out a hand and placed it on the egg.

CRAK!

Lucy gasped as she shot up in her bed. She was back in her new apartment. The was no bridge, no moths, and no egg. Now she remembered. She was doing some writing when she decided to catch some sleep before continuing with her dad. She sighed and got up. "What's with all these weird dears?"

This wasn't the first time she's had the same dear. After they defeated Lullaby and went to a motel to stay for the night, she had the dream for the first time, but it was the first time she's seen those two moths in the dream. Before, she was just on that bridge. And just before she met Natsu, Happy, and Sam, she heard the singing.

This was the longest time in the dream she's spent. This was the first time she saw that egg.

"Maybe I'll do a little shopping today," she said, hoping that it would clear her head. She hopped out of bed and walked over to her living room, stretching her arms. "Saving the world from evil is cool and all, but sometimes it's nice to just relax at home."

"Man, 70,000 Jewel a month is dirt cheap for a place like this," said a familiar voice. Lucy turned and was horrified to see Gray sitting in her armchair with nothing but his boxers on. "You totally scored, Lucy."

"INTRUDER ALERT!" Lucy screamed, before kicking Gray in the face. "No stripping in my house, buddy!"

"Hey, give me a minute to explain, would you?" Gray said, before dusting himself off. "I was naked when I got here."

"Get out." Lucy pointed to the door.

"So you forgot about today, huh?" Gray asked cryptically, which made Lucy raise an eyebrow. "I figured you wouldn't remember, so that pain in that asshole, Jasper sent me over to remind you."

"About what?"

"Oh, good, you're awake!" said a voice behind her. Lucy turned and sat Jasper just as he opened her window and grinned. "Get your ass to Fairy Tail and quick! I've still got people betting on Natsu and I'm not letting Cana have any of that sweet cash if you know what I mean!"

"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked.

"Apparently Natsu challenged Sam to a fight, and in a moment they're going to throw down, bitch!"

By the time Lucy, Gray, and Jasper made it to Fairy Tail, they were met with a crowd of people cheering in front of the guild. The blonde pushed her way to the front of the crowd and stopped when she saw how everyone was circling around the Dragon-Slayer and Titan-Slayer. "No way! They're really going through with it?" she exclaimed.

"You've got that right, blondie!" Jasper said as the referee, standing on top of a broad that was placed in the middle with Cana standing next to it. She and the cat were collecting bets and tallying them up. Most, if not everyone in the guild, betted on Natsu. Only a handful of people had their money on Sam.

Jasper then reached down and handed Cana a sack of Jewels. "Here's 10,000 Jewel. Put it on Sam to win!" he said with a Chesher grin. Cana nodded and pitched in on the betting that they came up with. She betted on Sam, feeling very good about placing her money on the new guy. "Yo, Luce! You wanna get in on this action?"

"You're actually betting on them?!" Lucy cried in shock.

"Oh, hey, Lucy," said Mirajane, standing next to her. With her were Elfman and Erza.

"Well, if those two value their manhood, then they'd better got through with it," Elfman said with his arms crossed.

"Erza, aren't you worried this fight could tear our Ultimate Team apart?" Lucy asked Erza with a worried expression.

"They're not going to become enemies. Sam promised Natsu a fight. It's only right that he fulfills that promise," Erza corrected with a small smile. Mira nodded in agreement with a bigger smile on her face. From where she stood, Lucy took note of the two women looking at Sam. And only him.

"And what are you talking about?" Gray asked, arching an eyebrow. "Our Ultimate Team?"

"You, Natsu, Erza, and Sam, you dummy! Your four are the strongest wizards in the guild," Lucy said, causing Gray to become more confused.

"We are? Yeah, right. What idiot feed you that line?"

Unfortunately for him, that person was Mirajane. She heard him and smiled for a moment before crying into her hands.

"O-Oh, you're not an idiot, Mira," Gray said, trying to comfort her.

"Smooth move, Gray," Lucy scolded him as Jasper flew down to her level with his arms crossed.

"You made the girl cry. You feel good about yourself, strip-tease?" The cat asked.

"Will you stop calling me that?!" Gray yelled, before getting hit in the head by Erza for making the barmaid cry.

"I'll hand it to Natsu and Gray. They're tough little dudes. But neither of them are even close to being the strongest," Elfman said, crossing his arms over his chest. "There are guys in Fairy Tail who are stronger than both of them combined. Like this guy!"

"There's no double that Erza's the strongest woman in the guild," said Levy McGarden, a girl that Lucy befriended in the guild. She was a rather young, petite teenage girl of a slender build who stood at a rather below-average height for her age. Her shoulder-length blue hair, which had eyebrow-length bangs, was normally tied up with a colorful bandana around her head. Her guild mark was on her left scapula.

With her were her teammates, Jet and Droy.

Jet was a slim, young man of average height with orange hair, kept jutting backwards at the sides of his head. He had a sharp face, a prominent, flat and defined nose pointing downwards, and distinctive teeth, with a protruding, sharp, triangular-shaped upper molar complemented by a chipped portion on the lower row, something which allows him to close his teeth completely despite such a peculiar physical irregularity.

Droy was a tall, slim young man with black hair kept in an unusual, distinctive hairstyle, with a tuft of hair on top of his head jutting upwards and then curving frontwards, being reminiscent of a plant's stem. His hair extends in a rounded form on his forehead and was cut on both sides of Droy's head in a spiraling motif. Droy has dark eyes and thin dark eyebrows pointing downwards at their outer edges; his rectangular-shaped face sported sharp features, with prominent cheekbones.

"As far as the guys, it's a tough call, but I'd put my money on Laxus or Mystogan," said Jet.

"All I meant was the four of you work well together, and you have the best team chemistry in all of Fairy Tail," Mira said, wiping away her tears as Erza stood near her.

"Okay, and this is coming from the same person who sent me on a mission to keep Natsu and Gray from killing each other when Erza or Sam wasn't around?" Lucy commented

"Gotta say, I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns out," Elfman said with a grin.

"Oh, yeah?" Gray said with a small smirk. Makarov stood with the crowd to watch the fight.

Happy was placing his bets on Sam when Jasper flew back to the top of the board as Natsu was just about ready to make the first move. "I've been waiting to see who's better!" Natsu said, cracking his knuckles.

"You do know that I was the one that took down Lullaby," Sam said, transforming into his Titan form.

"Yeah, well I was the one that took down Erigor!"

Jasper Re-Constructed a microphone and held out an arm. "LADY AND GENTLEMEN! THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE TWO SLAYERS IS ABOUT TO COMMENCE! IN THE RIGHT CORNER, WE'VE GOT THE PINKY-HAIRED, FIRE-BRAIN MOTHERFUCKER! NATSU!" Jasper recited into the microphone, pointing at the Dragon-Slayer as the crowd cheered. Then he pointed to Sam. "AND IN THE LEFT CORNER, HE'S NEW, BUT IS RISING UP THE RANKS OF FAIRY TAIL WITHOUT ANY BRAKES, IT'S SAMMY-BOY!"

The flying cat then flew between the two opponents and started talking again. "Alright, you freaks. This will be a one-on-one with no limit! I want a clean fight...so try and kill each other quickly!"

Jasper flew back to the board as Sam and Natsu got ready. Seeing they were both ready to tear each other apart, Jasper signaled for the two to commence with a swift motion of his paw.

"Now fight!"

As soon as he shouted Natsu was already on the attack. With a Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, he charged at Sam. The Titan-Slayer was more than ready and charged an Atomic Titan Claw and stood firm. The two collided when Natsu tried to punch Sam, before Sam held out the hand surrounded in his magic and caught his hand. Making a shockwave what ran through the area as everyone shielded themselves.

Natsu grunted as he tried to pull his arm away, but Sam wouldn't loosen his grip. Instead, he took Natsu off his feet when he spun around and then threw back in the direction he came. People had to get out of the way when the hotheaded boy was sent flying at them. Natsu quicker spun around and landed on his feet.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu sent himself ablaze and then propelled himself at Sam at high speed.

"Atomic Breath!" Sam fired a breath of his Atomic Magic at Natsu. The blue column of energy smashed into Natus' body, halting him from coming any further, but not stopping him. The pink-haired boy pushed with all his might to overpower his opponent's attack.

And then the Atomic Breath suddenly stop. When Natsu came his way, Sam was ready and wiped him across the face with his tail, sending him across the courtyard and to the ground. But Natsu recovered from the impact and dashed forward again. This time, instead of countering, Sam jumped into the air, dodging Natsu by going over him. He then used Fire Dragon's Wing Attack as he spun around.

This time, he managed to hit Sam in the back after he landed on the ground. The streams of fire hitting him in the back. He let out a short roared of pain as it hit his dorsal plates, but he managed to get his footing. The crowd was going wild for the fight, as it was exciting and just kept getting even more exciting.

"Atomic Titan Stomp!" Sam quickly got up and kicked Natsu in the stomach when he charged at him again. Sending him back as Natsu's feet slid across the ground.

When he stopped, the Dragon Slayer puffed out his cheeks. Seeing this, the Titan-Slayer charged another breath of his Atomic Magic. The two then exhaled their streams of magic. The two attacks collided and pushed against each other for supremacy.

Suddenly, there was a very loud clapping.

Sam and Natsu stopped the fight as they and the others around them turned to see what had made the sound. Walking through the crowd was a strange humanoid frog in strange garments. "Alright, that's enough! This fight is over!" said the amphibian, sounding like a female. Everyone was now looking at her with surprised looks. Sam stared at it approached before stopping a few feet from him and Natsu. "May I have your attention, please! I've come on behalf of the Magic Council."

This astonished everyone. "Oh boy," Jasper muttered. If those guys on their high horses sent one of their frogs, then it was likely something bad.

The frog pulled out a scroll and opened it. "As a result of the Eisenwald incident, two members of your guild have been charged with 11 counts of criminal property damage," she reclaimed, holding the scroll for everyone to see. Then she pointed her finger to Erza. "Erza Scarlet, the Magic Council has placed you are under arrest."

"Eh?!" Erza squeaked, her eyes widening.

"WHAT?!" Natsu roared. Everyone was in shock by this. Sam was about to step in to protest and say it was him that was to blame when the frog then pointed at him.

The sight of the Titan-Slayer glaring at her made her take a few steps back in apprehension, but composed herself. "In addition, the Council is placing this Take-Over mage under arrest for the complete destruction of the Guild Masters Conference Hall! Do not resist!"

That shocked the others as well.

"You can't be serious!" Natsu shouted, irritated.

Sam kept his cool, but he was mentally cursing himself. Several things were going through his head, but the biggest one was whether or not the Council knew about his powers. He was open to tell his story to anyone that would listen and who had gained his trust, but what he was worried about was what the Council's reaction will be when they know that he has the powers of Godzilla. he then stepped forward to confront the frog messenger. "I understand why I'm being placed under arrest, but why is Erza being arrested too? I'm the one that caused most, if not all of the destruction."

"My orders are to arrest Erza Scarlet and you. If you'd like to argue, then you can when you speak with the council," said the frog.

Sam sighed. "Very well. Do as you must."

It's now been three hours silence the arrest, and the mood in the Fairy Tail guild hall was sullen to say the lease. Everyone was sitting at a table quietly. With most of them having their heads on the tables. All of them upset over the arresting of Sam and Erza. But none of them were as upset as Natsu, who was the only one not silent. "This isn't fair, you guys! Let me out of here already!" He protested.

"Natsu, try to calm down," Mirajane replied as she turned to him.

During the arrest, Natsu was ready to lash out at the frog and the guards taking his two friends away. So, Jasper knocked him out, before the Dragon-Slayer was turned into a Salamander by Makarov and then trapped inside of a glass cup turned upside down.

"Let me out! Pretty pretty please?" Natsu continued shouting and waving his arms around frantically.

"You'll go on a rampage!"

"I'll be good, I swear. Now please just turn me back to the way I was before."

Mirajane walked over and kneeled down to his tiny level. "The second we turn you back, you'll run out to save Erza and Sam." She pointed out.

"Give me a break. I couldn't care less what happens to them."

"Even if you want to help them, it's not like we can face off with the Council," Gray pointed out with his arms folded.

"But don't those jerks on the Council realize that they did what they had to do to save the lives of the Guild Masters from those bad guys and their evil death flute?!" Natsu yelled.

"If the Magic Council says you're guilty, then you're guilty," Gray replied. "End of story. They don't care what we have to say."

At one table, Elfman was sitting with his chin resting on his fist. "I just don't get it. We've destroyed plenty of stuff in the past and they never made a big deal out of it," said Elfman.

"I know. It doesn't make any sense," said Laki Olietta, a slim young woman of average height with straight, pale lavender hair set in a bowl cut-like style, with her fringe covering the left part of her forehead, and the right side exposed. She had brown eyes, and a large, dark-colored ribbon adorning the top of her head. She's also wearing a pair of simple glasses with oval lenses. Her outfit was composed of a light-colored coat reaching down below her waist, with dark cuffs retaining the original color on their back edges, a dark cravat tie around the collar, tight-fitting dark pants tucked inside light-colored boots with dark soles, and light-colored gloves. She also had a small, dark satchel adorned by a pair of small hearts hanging on her right hip, seemingly attached to her waist.

Lucy had the top part of her body lying down on the table with one of her arms resting on her head. Staring at the wall as Jasper was drinking while sitting on the edge of the table. "It's like there's some other reason for this," said the busty blonde. Lucy then looked at Jasper. "What do you think, Jasper?"

After finishing his drink, he yelled, "While you all just shut up!" Jasper angrily threw the glass bottle at a support beam, shattering it and slashing some beer onto a few of the members. "Had it up to here with all of you mopping around like a bunch of bitches!" Efficizing his frustration by raising his paw over his head.

"Jasper, take it easy-" Nab was interrupted when Jasper Re-Constructed a gun and shot it at the table. Hitting near the man, and making him scream and fall back. The cat's violent outbursts shocked the others except for Makarov.

"Up you're, skull-neck! You guys talk about how close you are, but can't even get off your fatasses to do something about it!"

"Jasper's right," Lucy exclaimed, standing up. Supporting the cat, oddly enough. "We all know they're innocent. We can't just sit here and let them lock Erza and Sam away."

"Yeah, and besides, if he and Natsu don't finish that match, I'm not of money!" Jasper yelled. Lucy groaned at how selfish she forgot he could be. "At least Natsu was man enough to do something about it."

The other members looked at him with confused looks. Makarov smiled lightly. He knew what the loud-mouthed cat was yelling about.

Seeing their confused faces, Jasper deadpanned. "Are you serious right now?" He then turned his gun on Natsu in the glass and fire. Blasting Natsu, who erupted into a cloud of smoke. The sound of a body landing on the ground with a thud could be heard before the smoke cleared, showing none other than Macao in Natsu's place.

"It'S MACAO!" Levy gasped.

"THAT WAS YOU?!" Everyone else except Jasper and Makarov yelled in shock.

"Yeah. Sorry guys. But I owned Natsu a favor," Macao apologized, rubbing the back of his head. "I turned myself into a salamander so everybody would think I was him. Then had Romeo pretend to do have done it and then catch me. Giving Natsu a chance to run off as I covered for him."

"Yeah, yeah, I already knew that," Jasper said, waving his paw in a circular motion for him to get on with it.

"WHAT?!" Everyone else yelled.

"You knew, but didn't tell the rest of us?!" Cana exclaimed, slamming down a barrel of wine on the table.

"Why would you do that?" asked Wakaba.

"Really? I thought all you hotshots would've figured it out by now." Jasper said, throwing his gun away as it disappeared. "I saw Natsu sneak off and knew he was going after Sam and Erza. You all were talking about how I should learn to trust you all, so I placed my trust in Natsu to do the right thing."

"You've gotta be kidding me! That idiot will probably try to fight the whole council!" Elfman exclaimed in a panic.

"Would everyone just calm down?" Makarov said, getting the attention of the others. "We've no choice but to wait and see what happens.

In his human form, Sam looked down at the cuffs that restrained his wrists. They were meant to prevent the wearing from using spells and their magic. However, with his Atomic Magic, he doubted it would really be effective against him. The ride to their destination was relatively quiet as he and Erza sat together in a dark carriage. The interior of the carriage was plain, with the only source of light coming through a barred window in the door. Sam sat on one side, while Erza was on the other across from him.

The red-haired armored woman was just as silent as her fellow guild member. She didn't like the situation they were in and couldn't think of a way out of their predicament. All she could do is look up or down. With nothing else to look at, she found herself staring at the Titan-Slayer.

Sam felt her eyes on his and looked up. The two stared at one another. His orange eyes staring into her brown eyes and vice versa. Sam smiled at her, and she smiled back. Both feeling rather warm and fuzzy inside.

But Sam would break that silence. "What am I to expect from the Council?" he asked.

Erza thought it was a far question from him. "We'll stand before the Magic Council for the damage we've caused in Clover Town, but they'll not be there in person. They'll appear only as projections."

Sam scoff. "They make the laws, yet they do not have to nerves to face us," he said.

"Don't take them so lightly," Erza warned him before leaning into him. "You don't seem to be worried about them."

"They've given me no reason to fear them," Sam answered. He wasn't being cocky, but truthfully. "I'll not give them a reason to see me as a threat, if they don't give me one."

Suddenly the carriage stopped. They had finally arrived and were escorted out of the carriage.

The Magic Council's Fiore branch building lived up to its owners. Even for Sam, it had an outlandish appearance to it. Topping the lower structure was a series of smaller structures suspended in the air at various heights, which compose the rest of the headquarters.

The base itself started out as simple, seemingly hexagonal or octagonal building composed of bricks, with large, square windows or double doors adorning many of its faces. On top of such part, the structure grows drastically larger, extending outwards and taking the shape of a large, round, and flat capsized dome, highly reminiscent of a bowl. Such dome was intricately decorated with dark, geometrical motifs. A series of rhombs were present in its central part, with the large ones being alternated with slightly smaller ones, and above them are numerous, sharp triangles pointing upwards, to the dome's largest part, which has a wavy decoration just below the flat top, with the structure's parts jutting outwards and creating angles.

Several meters above the bowl-like structure, floating on its edges, were ten slightly curved panels; the panels' sides facing outwards were divided into nine square sections, with each section being adorned by a simple motif, with three circles, placed one on top of another, flanked by vertical lines. The inner, curved sides were bare.

Another final structure floated above the panels, in correspondence to the center of the capsized dome: sitting on a round platform, adorned with a simple motif, consisting of dark triangles alternated with light capsized triangles, and sporting large railings diagonally jutting outwards on the top, was a palace, which consisted of three main sections. The central one was a tower, with its faces adorned by a multitude of high, arched windows, topped by a very massive, round dome, which started out as small from the tower's top, grew larger near its own center and then reverted to its starting size near its summit, which had a decorative structure on top, seemingly circled by a wide, floating halo. To such part's right was another, smaller tower highly reminiscent of it; on the left sat an even shorter building, with a roof seemingly made of elongated tiles.

As Sam and Erza were escorted through the halls of the building by the frog, Sam looked around the hall. The outside hurt his head to look at, but the inside was much more simplistic, yet still very elaborate. But there was a smell in the air that gave him a bad feeling.

Already on edge, he picked up the smell of magic. But it had another person's scent to it. "Someone's here," he said to Erza.

The frog then let out a surprised croak, catching Sam and Erza's attention before the two of them looked up.

Siegrain was leaning on a pillar in front of them, looking rather nonchalant. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Erza and smirked.

Erza's eyes widened and she gasped. "Siegrain." Sam notice their escort immediately drop down on one knee and bowed Whoever this was, he was important.

"It's been quite a while, Erza," Siegrain said with a smooth tone, pushing off the pillar and approached her. His smirk growing slightly when Erza tensed up. "Please, relax." His body then began to briefly flicker like an illusion. "I'm only here in spirit. I'm sending this projection from Era. In fact, all the wrinkled faces in that courtroom are projections as well. We didn't think it necessary to be here for such a trivial matter."

Erza glared daggers at him. "I see. So you're the one who's behind this farce? You make me sick." she said with a slight growl.

"Let's be civil," Siegrain said walking past her before standing a few steps behind Titania. Sam remained quiet, seemingly not noticed by the man. "I've always been a staunch defender of Fairy Tail. But the elders are worried the blame for Clover's destruction will fall into their laps. And the only way to avoid that is to place the blame on someone else entirely. You're here as their scapegoats."

"Enough." Erza hissed, extremely frustrated. Even Sam felt his anger rising and he restrained himself from destroying Siegrain for insulting Erza and their guild.

"Just a friendly warning. In fact, it's another matter altogether I wish to discuss with you." Siegrain turned to her and leaned in, cupping her chin as his face was only inches from Erza's and whispered to her. "Don't let a word slip about you know what. For both of our sakes."

Erza was silent.

"Back away from her." Siegrain and Erza turned their heads towards Sam as he glared at the blue-haired man. His orange eyes glowing in the shadow cast over his face by his poncho's hood.

Siegrain was almost wide-eyed by the sudden threat, while the frog messenger almost jumped in fear. Erza tried to shake her head at him, but Siegrain was already talking. "You must be the newest member of Fairy Tail, right?" He replied and took a long look at the Titan-Slayer before continuing. "Tell me, what's your name?"

"Sam." He answered.

"Well, Sam, I must say you're not what I was excepting. The Council has taken notice about your unusual Take-Over abilities, with some feeling a little uneasy with how you destroyed the Lullaby demon. So even think you have something to do with some old legend. I'd answer them truthfully if I were you. You don't want to make an enemy out of them."

Sam was well aware that he was being threatened by the blue-haired man, and he knew of the situation he was placed in, but instincts got the better of him. "If you think that threats will make me bend my knees to anyone then you're mistaken. I'll give the Council no reason to see me as a threat. However..."

Even though Siegrain was a projection, Sam grabbed him by his collar with both hands and then slammed him into the wall. Siegrain was shocked by this as stared into Sam's eyes as he glared at him. His back flashing under his poncho. What kind of magic was this? It felt so strange. Even with the cuffs on, he was able to touch his projection.

Just what is he?

"If you or anyone else threatens me, my friends, Fairy Tail, or anyone close to me, then I. Will. Kill you."

Sam released his grip from the councilman. Glaring at him as Siegrain regained his composure and straightened out his collar. "I must join my colleague on the Council. I'll see you shortly on the other side," said Siegrain.

Then his projection flickered for a moment and then disappeared completely. Leaving the frog to shudder, while Erza and Sam remained standing tall. The Titan-Slayer sighed as his spine stopped glowing. "He's right." He turned to see Erza looking displeasingly at him. "You shouldn't have done that. The Council as a lot of power in the country and they're not an enemy you want to have."

"I know, but he had what was coming to him. And I meant what I said, even if it is the Council," he said with a slight growl, still calming down from his anger.

Erza saw that her berating would not reason with the Titan-Slayer. However, while she was disappointed in how he handled Siegrain, she felt touched. Maybe frightened, but also impressed. He'd protected her, and she didn't blame him. She would have done the same thing if the roles were reversed. But with his aggression still surging, the trial would have made it worse if she didn't think of a way to calm him down.

As the frog messenger got over her shock, she proceeded to escort the two to the trial. As they walked side by side, Erza said softly, "Thank you, Sam. For what you did for me."

Sam looked a little surprised, by this. However, it put him at ease, and he smiled. While ashamed for his actions, it helped to know that Erza appreciated him.

Soon, they enter the courtroom.

The room was covered in decorative motifs, and leaning against a wall was a large, majestic structure acting as a podium for the Council members, complete with armchairs for them to sit on. The lower part of such podium was the most intricately decorated, with highly elaborated bas-reliefs adorning the square pillars on its frontal part, with a pair of similarly adorned, rectangular concave parts, with rectangular, horizontal niches on top, held up by small columns, visible in the back, each housing a rectangular window. Such lower part housed two scribes during trials, sitting one in front of the other.

Above this first level was a second, stage-like level, housing the Council members themselves. This section was given access to by a pair of staircases placed at its sides of the first level. The wall behind the seats for the Council members was split into various sections by thin structures going up to the wall's top, which slightly protrudes outwards; each section was decorated by a large rhomb flanked by a pair of smaller arcs, complete with more, intricated motifs around them.

On top of the whole structure was the place for the Chairman, complete with an armchair reminiscent of a throne, larger than those for the rest of the Council members. Behind it, attached to the wall, was an enormous painting with an intricately decorated frame, which portrays several waterfalls flowing down a cliff into the water below. A few mountains are also visible in the background.

In front of the entire assembly was where Erza and Sam for the trial. It consisted of a small, rectangular area marked by a massive, decorative balustrade open on the back, on the part facing towards the large, double door giving access to the court, at whose sides are several stands for the trials' possible public to sit in.

As they stood before the Council, Sam stared at the councilmen as they stared down at him. They weren't real. There were just projections of their real self. It frustrated him that they were using them to take the fall, but he restrained himself.

The gavel banged. "This courtroom will now come to order. Before us are the defendants Erza Scarlet and the Take-Over mage. Please take the stand, you two." Both Erza and Sam took to the stand.

"Erza Scarlet, you and your friend to the right of you stand before the Council to answer to charges stemming from the incident involving the Dark Guild Eisenwald. These charges include extensive damage to Oshibana Station, the collapse of the Reeyusika Gorge railway bridge, and the complete destruction of the Clover meeting hall. There are 11 property damages against you. According to eyewitness reports, the perpetrator is described as a heavily armored female wizard for the Oshibana incident..." the Chairman then turned to Sam. "...but the charges expand to your friend of whom did damage to not only Oshibana Station, but to the bridge, as well as the destruction of the Conference Hall."

Sam kept his cool, and just waited.

"The Take-Over wizard must be questioned as to what his business was with the Eisenwald incident and whereabouts beforehand," said the Chairman. "Take Over Mage, you will answer-"

Siegrain halted him by holding up his hand. "I would advise not to have you question this young man, Chairman." He said. Looking back at Sam, and then turned back to the Chrainmen to avoid Sam's gaze. "He doesn't cooperate when he's threatened."

"Send whoever you wise to question me, I'll only answer when not threatened. But first, I think that it's time that this Council offers me thanks for destroying Lullaby," Sam said with a bit of a commanding tone. "If it weren't for Fairy Tail, then the demon would have destroyed not only guild masters, but caused even more destruction and death."

There was silence for a moment before Org slammed his fist down. "You dare demand such things from the Council?! You also destroyed the Conference Hall!"

"Calm down, Org," the Chairman said to Org before turning back to Sam. "But he is correct. You're in front of the entire Magic Council, and thus you must answer our questions."

"And if I refuse?" Sam asked, sounding more infuriated.

Org started shouting again. "There is no denying us, child! You're lucky that you're not locked up right now. You will comply or-!"

"Then you'll have no answers from me," Sam interrupted coolly. "I will not be bullied by people who don't even have the courage to face those that stand before them in their courtrooms." There was a moment of absolute silence. Everyone was speechless, even Erza. No one in Fairy Tail has even shown this much defiance to the Council.

Before tensions could reach their boiling point, Yajima stood up and held out a hand. "I for one agree with the young man. We do indeed own him our thanks. It'll be a good way of calming tensions," he admitted.

"You can not be serious, Yajima!" Org yelled, positively shocked by the idea.

"If we want our answers, then we must comply with the Take-Over's demands," Yajima added.

"He has a point, Chairman Crawford," Siegrain said, with Ultear nodding to show her support as well.

Seeing three people supporting the notion together, Chairman Crawford let out a grumbling sigh before clearing his throat. "Fine. As several members of the Council seem to be in favor, I'll allow it. The Magic Council recognizes the good that has been done by you and your guild in the fight to stop Lullaby, and those we thank you. Now, let us move onto the questions we have for you. There are no records of your existence and your magic. We'd like to know more about you and your magic, to give us a better understanding of how you were able to defeat the Lullaby monster."

"If it's not all that troubling, I'd like to be the one to question this young man," Ultear requested, standing up. She gazed at Sam in a way the made Erza almost displease. "I believe I'm the most capable of handling this situation."

"I'd say let her. She has a way of making even the most uneased people talk freely," Siegrain said in support.

Chairman Crawford appeared to be annoyed, but allowed it. "I suppose you're right. Very well, Ultear."

Ultear stood up and walked slowly down from where the other members of the council sat. In any normal situation, Sam would have most definitely blushed and been embarrassed to be staring at her. She was indeed beautiful with a voluptuous figure like Erza and wore a revealing dress. However, he knew that her motives were to get information out of him. He calmed himself as she approached him.

"It's okay, young man. I'm not like my fellow Councilmen," she said, speaking in a relaxing, level tone that was also mixed with a sultry voice. Erza almost glared at her. "Why not start with your name, then you can tell us about your Magic."

Sam took in a deep breath. This was it. All or nothing. "My name is Sam Serizawa, and I'm a Titan-Slayer. My magic is a very lost form of magic call Titan Magic. As its name said, I have this power because sealed inside of my body is a Titan named Godzilla. Also known as the King of the Monsters. Ever since his soul was forcefully bound to mine, he's become my adopted father, training me from a young age to become his Titan-Slayer. With him inside of me, his powers have become mine, and I'm partially able to transform into him. But only to an extent."

Ultear stared at him with wide eyes as he stared back at her. There was silence in the council room, even from Siegrain. His proclamation surprised and shock the Council to an extreme level.

"Is there anything else?" asked Sam.

"This is absurd!" Org slammed his hand on the table. "We demanded answers, and you expect us to believe that you have Godzilla inside of you and have his powers?!"

"The Titans a myth! Just legends of ancient humans! Nothing more!" shouted one of the members of the Council. There was more shouted as Sam just stared blankly at them. A little insulted that they would call Godzilla and the Titans a myth.

Suddenly, the Chairman slammed the gavel down repeatedly. "I WILL HAVE ORDER!" His voice boomed throughout the room.

Suddenly, with the cuffs on, Sam transformed. Everyone's attention was on him with their eyes slightly widened. Erza took a step back to give him some room, also watching. Steam covering his body until it lifted. And the cuffs were torn off completely. Org and the Magic Council were completely silent as they stared at the monstrously changed man that stood in front of them with the dorsal plates of the King of the Monsters himself. So of his blue aura lifting from between the gaps of his plates.

He looked back at Ultear. "Boo." The young woman flinched a bit. How was this possible? Those cuffs were supposed to block all magic on whoever they were on. Sam then turned to the Council and glared. "I believe I've answered your questions, and I've answered them truthfully." He then turned back to Ultear. "Is that true, Ms. Ultear?"

Ultear's voiced was still taken by the sight of the Titan form, but she turned to the Chairman and nodded.

"How is it that a monster such as Godzilla was bound your soul?" Crawford demanded.

Sam simply just looked back at the woman in front of him. Remembering that she was questioning him, Ultear turned back to Sam and regained her composure. "You said that your Titan, Godzilla had his soul forcefully bounded to yours. Can you please explain?" Ultear asked.

Sam nodded before taking in a deep breath. He then explained in detail how he came from an unknown island. How on the day of his birth, his village was attacked by a group of people that could only have been a Dark Guild. He was to be used as a human host, and a Titan-Slayer for their evil purposes. He then explained that because of Godzilla's massive amount of power, the Sealing Spell didn't work, and killed all the people before taking down into the ocean in an ancient sunken city to raise the young boy until he was an adult. Then finished the Sealing Spell properly, and his body was transferred into Sam's.

He answered the question truthfully. Withholding nothing. All the way before stopping at when he was ready to leave his underwater home and joined Fairy Tail. No one interrupted him and just listened. When he was finished, Ultear nodded before stepping back. "Thank you for your cooperation," she said. "If you may, I'd think it's in the Council's best interest that you return to your human form."

"I'd...I'd rather not. It's quite painful," Sam said sheepishly. Ultear nodded and walked back to her seat.

"I must say, Mr. Serizawa, that was quite a story," Belno admitted. "I see now why the Lullaby demon defeat was so destructive. But I guess we have no other opinion but to accept what you've told us as the truth."

Crawford, however, was not that willing to accept it. "You really accept this as the truth? Didn't you hear the things he's said? If they really existed, there's no way that a Titan would take in a child as it's own."

"What he told us fits what happened at Hargeon, not to mention we've had reports in the past of Dark Guilds destroying villages and attempting human host Sealing Spells," Belno argued.

That really got Sam's attention as his eyes widened. "Are you...saying that there's more Titan-Slayer?"

The Council looked at one another before Yajima licked his lips and said, "We're not quite sure at the moment. All we know is that throughout the years there have been-"

"Enough! We've got business to finish here, gentlemen!" Org stated, before returning to Sam. "You may have been telling us the truth, but, this isn't the sea anymore. We have rules in Fiore. Don't step out of line, Sam Serizawa."

Crawford nodded and said, "You're dismissed, Sam Serizawa and Erza Scarlet. You're free to go-"

Suddenly an explosion was set off behind Sam and Erza. The Titan-Slayer turned around and was prepared to fight when the smoke cleared, and he could hardly believe what he saw was even real. Natsu was standing there, dressed up in a really poorly made Erza costume. "I'M THE CRAZY LADY IN ARMOR YOU OLD TIMERS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR! IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY ME AND MY GUILD DO THINGS, YOU CAN FIGHT ME!" He shouted, spouting flames from his mouth and flailing his armors around.

Erza had many feelings going through her head when she witnessed him in that costume. Those being surprised, disturbed, humiliated, furious, and dumbfounded. The Magic Council gawked and were in shock at the ridiculous performance. Sam simply groaned and buried his face in one of his hands.

"I AM THE ALL-POWERFUL ERZA! YOU THOUGHT I WAS DESTRUCTIVE BEFORE, WELL, YOU AIN'T SEE NOTHING YET!" Natsu continued his rampage, shooting flames from his mouth and burning a few things around the room. The members of the Council were still stunned by his antics, with the exception of Siegrain, who just smiled in amusement.

"DO YOU REALLY THING THE STUFF I DESTROYED IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GUILD MASTERS' LIVEs-?!"

Natsu was suddenly hit with an Atomic Breath that sent him flying back into a wall, smashing into it. When the dust cleared, Natsu was on the ground, eyes blank white with a big bump on his head. Sam's dorsal plates slowly stopped glowing before walking over to the pyromaniac that was his friend. The Council, even Erza, stared at him in shock.

Sam grabbed Natsu by his ankle and dragged him back over to Erza. "I'm so sorry about that. We'll just be heading out..."

"Take them away and put them in jail," Crawford simply said.

Night came, and Sam, Erza, and Natsu were placed in the same cell located in the council building. "Words can't express how angry I am with you," Erza growled as she started lecturing the Dragon-Slayer as they sat across from each other. Not at all pleased with him. "That trial was just a formality!"

"Seriously?!" Natsu exclaimed.

"It's a glorified spectacle. The Council is using me and Sam as an example to remind everyone that if you break the law, you'll be punished. It helps them maintain order in the Magical World."

"Wait a minute. So this was all for show?" he wondered.

"They probably would have found us guilty, then sent us home with a slap on the wrist. But thanks to you, we're now stuck in a jail cell!" Erza barked at him, making Natsu scream in a panic.

"Would you guys shut up!" Erz and Natsu looked to the back of the cell to see Sam glaring at the two of them while on his hands and knees. "This isn't exactly an easy thing to go through without water!" He started grunting and yelling in agony as his tail and plates retracted back into his body, and having his skin return to normal. Once he was finished, collapsed and started panting. "Ow!"

Erza turned away and sighed. "I can't believe you," she said to Natsu.

Natsu turned away, looking a little upset. "I'm sorry, guys," he sighed.

"It's okay. You meant well." She said, with a small smile on her face. Sam sat up after laying on the floor for a while and watched as Erza grabbed Natsu's head and banged it on her breastplate. He wasn't too mad at him, as he cared a lot about his and Erza's well-being.

"So, Erza. I've been meaning to ask," he said, gaining her attention. "You seem to know that one councilman we met before the trial. Who was he?" Erza went silent for a moment, pushing away Natsu's head. Sam stared worriedly at her as she glared at the ground, averting her gaze from him. In her eyes he could see may emotions going through her head. The most noticeable was hatred and even some guilt.

"He's...I don't wish to speak of those things," Erza said, her expression becoming sullen.

Sam looked down with shame. "I'm sorry."

"I'm not upset about it..." Erza said in reassurance. "Why not talk about something else."

As so they did. The three members of Fairy Tail continued with their conversation about the trial and other things. However, Siegrain was listening in on them from around the corner. Smirking darkly. "I see. A Fairy Tail wizard came to her aid. Natsu Dragneel," he said, very interested. But then his thoughts go to Sam. "You're definitely an interesting one, Sam Serizawa."

The next day, Sam, Erza, and Natsu arrived back at the guild with little to no trouble after they were released from the courtroom. Naturally, upon returning, the other quickly asked them what had happened and how everything turned out at the end.

The Titan-Slayer did the honors or retelling them what had happened and what was said. He didn't include his talk with Erza in the carriage, along with a few other details that weren't really important. Most of them listened when he explained that he told the Council that he was a Titan-Slayer, as they too wondered how they'd react to that fact. But now knowing that the Magic Council was going to let them off with a slap on the wrist before Natsu came in and got them in jail for a day relaxed the tension in the guild.

"Wow, I have to admit, that's not how I imagined it would have gone," Mira commented from her position behind the bar as Sam sat in a stool in front of her. Admittedly, she was very worried for the young man. Now she was back to her old smiling self that brought out a plate of food for Sam and a large piece of strawberry cake for Erza.

"Same here," Sam said with a smile after swallowing the food in his mouth. Erza was sitting at her own table enjoying her cake. "I was for sure that they were going to do something to me when learning that I'm a Titan-Slayer." Just then, a familiar pink-haired boy ran behind him, breathing fire in joy.

"Who would have thought fresh air could smell so sweet! I'm gonna breathe it in all day! It's the sweet smell of freedom!" Natsu cheered, running around constantly, which was starting to get on the nerves of the other guild members.

"Shut up!" Jet complained as he and Droy were sitting down at the same table.

"I'll never take it for granted again!"

"Put a sock in it, man," Droy added.

"Isn't he precious when he gets all excited?" Mira said with delight seeing the Dragon-Slayer in high spirits. Makarov was still sitting on the bar with his staff.

However, the same couldn't be said for Lucy. She looked completely drained with her head down and was a little upset. "I can't believe that stupid arrest and trial were just for show..." she groaned. "All that worrying for nothing."

Gray and Elfman were at the same table with her. "So they were sacrificial lambs, they were just scapegoats," Gray joked, smacking his fist into his palm.

"You must be one heck of an Ice Wizard, 'cause even your jokes leave me cold," Elfman complained, staring at Gray with a shudder.

Just then, Jasper landed on the table with an empty sack. Cana walked over and joined him as he held out the sack to Elfman and Gray. "Alright, you and strip-tease are paying up, muscle-head!" He said with a grin.

Elfman stared at the cat, feeling insulted when he called him that name. "What do you want, Jasper?" He grumbled.

"Well, remember how you bet on Natsu to win in the fight?" Cana asked with a smirk of her own. "Well, I and my partner have come to a realization..."

"The fight wasn't really over, so when Sam knocked Natsu out in the courthouse, he won the fight right then and there!" He proclaimed, laughing as almost everyone in the guild gasped in shock. The only people to actually bet on Sam were Mira, Cana, Happy, and Jasper. "So all of you that bet on Natsu, you all owe a whole lot of money!"

Natsu suddenly slammed his hands on the table and glared angrily at him and Cana. "WHAT?! How's that fair!? We weren't even fighting in that courtroom!" yelled the irritate pyromaniac.

"Sorry, dude, but a knockout's a knockout." Cana shrugged.

"No way!"

Sam heard some whimpering and saw Makarov was bailing his eyes out in a comical way. "What's wrong with the Master?"

Mira giggled slightly as she explained. "Well, he betted 10000 Jewels on Natsu when the two of you fought, and now he's just lost that money."

"I didn't take him to be a gambler," Sam said with wide eyes. "So who betted on me?" Cana then walked over and wrapped an arm around his shoulder, pressing the side of her breast into his arm.

"That would be Mira, Jasper, Happy, and me, handsome!" Cana exclaimed cheerfully raising her glass of wine before chugging it down.

This surprised Sam as he looked at them, still blushing. "Really..." he began, before pausing to yawn.

Suddenly he felt sleepy. Much tired than he's ever felt before. He was sure that he was just exhausted from the past few days, when Cana's glass suddenly fell from her hands and shattered on the floor. He gasped as she closed her eyes and collapsed on him. Forcing him to catch her in his arms. "Cana!? Cana, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly, but saw that she was fast asleep.

Then Mirajane fell asleep and collapsed behind the bar. Then Gray and Elfman, then Lucy, Jasper, and Happy. Even Erza fell victim to whatever was going on. One by one, everyone in the guildhall dropped like flies into sleep. Only Sam and Master Makarov were still awake, although he was rather drowsy. After this, the Titan-Slayer heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the guildhall.

As his instincts took over, Sam rested Cana gently on the bar before transforming into his Titan form. Just as the person approached the bar. What Sam was glaring and ready to fight was a tall man wearing a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs are mostly covered in bandages. He wore a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face to hide his identity. In his hand was a staff.

The man approached Makarov before Sam stepped in front of him. "Who are you?" He demanded, dorsal plates flashing.

"I was about to ask you the same thing," the man replied. "You're able to resist my Sleep Magic?"

"Stop it, Sam. That's enough," Makarov ordered. "This is Mystogan, and he's one of us."

Sam looked at Makarov and gave him a confused look. Then he looked at the sleeping guild members. He then relented and backed off. Mystgon then turned to his left and walked up to the request board. He pulled off one of the requests then approached the guild master.

"I shall return," he said, showing him the request.

"No, wait. Lift your Sleeping Spell before you leave," Makarov replied groggily. His eyes began to droop.

Sam watched the mysterious guildmember turned and started walking down towards the entrance. Talking to himself as he passed by several tables. "Five..." he walked past several wizards as they slept on the floor. "Four... Three..." so, he was making his way out of the guildhall, as his count down was drawing to an end. "Two...One..."

He disappeared. Fading away in an eerie light.

Sam stared at the open exit for a moment, wondering just what had happened when the others started waking up from the Sleep Spell, with the exception of Natsu. All of them opening their eyes with a bit of a jolt, before feeling tired and groggy. When Cana woke up, she was a little surprised to see she was on the bar. She wounded how she got up there when Sam's transformed hand reached out to her with a smile on his face. Blushing slightly, she took his hand and he helped her down.

"Oh, man..." Jet moaned. "Was Mystogan here?"

"What a jerk." Droy rubbed his eyes.

"Does he have to put us to sleep every time he comes here?" Levy asked as everyone else was starting to get up.

"Who's this Mystogan guy?" Lucy asked, rubbing her eyes.

"For one, he's a contender for Fairy Tail's strongest wizard," Elfman replied.

"Really?" Lucy asked, surprised.

Gray rubbed his eyes and continued after Elfman. "Yeah. And for some reason, he doesn't want anyone to see what he looks like so whenever he comes here to take a job, he casts a Sleeping Spell."

"Not that he needs to with the way he has his face covered up," Sam said. This drew the attention of many people.

"You were able to stay awake and see him?" Mira asked, slightly surprised.

"Not all that much, but yeah, I saw him. But why put everyone to sleep?" He asked the big question on his mind.

"I'm guessing its to hide his identity. Master Makarov's the only person here who's ever gotten a good look at his face," Gray said, glancing over at the old man.

"That's not true. I've seen him before," said a new voice coming from the railing of the second floor. Sam looked up and saw who it was.

Standing on the second floor and looking down at the other members of the guild was a very tall and muscular young man with blue/gray eyes, and blond hair that was slicked back, with numerous spiky strands pointing backwards, though some fell down in a small tuft on his forehead. He had a distinct lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right eye, and his eyes have dark circles, with each of them possessing a single, prominent eyelash jutting outwards. Covering his ears was a model of Magic Headphones called "Sound Pod". His Fairy Tail stamp was covered by his clothing, which consisted of a leopard-print, orange tunic with dark-lined sleeves reaching down below his elbows, and fur on the lower edges. He sported a bright red cape, tied on the front with a garish knot, which bore a large, lighter Fairy Tail symbol on the back, and loose, baggy dark pants tucked inside light metal greaves. Around his waist was a simple belt to which he attached the device linked to his Magic Headphones. He also had a small chain tied around his right wrist.

The blonde man was currently leaning his right elbow on the railing, with his hand holding his head as he grinned a snide smile as he chuckled lightly. He then turned his attention to the Titan formed Titan-Slayer.

"You've got a name, new guy," he asked.

Sam scowled lightly at him, getting a bad vibe from the man. "Sam Serizawa, Titan-Slayer. And you are?"

"The name's Laxus Drayer. Maybe you've heard about me from one of these weaklings," he replied with a smirk.

"Laxus? Talk about rare," said Elfman as he and some of the other members of the guild walked over to the balcony. Some of them with surprised expressions.

"You're never here," Wakaba commented.

"Who's the guy with the smirk?" Jasper flew over and landed on the table Gray was at.

"That's another contender," Gray flatly said. Sam looked at Gray with a slight surprise before turning back to Laxus.

"Mystogan's just a little shy. The Take-Over guy got a good look, but you should all respect his privacy," Laxus stated.

Hearing his voice, Natsu suddenly sprung up from his slumber and jumped to his feet. "All right, Laxus! You and me, right now!" He demanded, jumping onto a table.

"Yeah right. I heard about how you got knocked out by this freak over here," Laxus gloated when he gestured to Sam. The Titan-Slayer growled. "And if you can't even beat him or the redhead, why bother with me?"

"What are you trying to say?" Erza growled angrily as a sinister aura surrounded her body as she stood up.

"No need to get all worked up, Erza," Gray said scared, trying to ease her fury.

"I'm saying that I'm the guild's strongest wizard," Laxus responded with a mightier than thou smirk. Outstretching his arms. Sam narrowed his eyes at him.

"Then come down here and prove it!" Natsu shouted.

"You come to me, little man," Laxus said through his teeth.

"With pleasure!" That was all Natsu needed to hear as he hopped off the table and rushed over to the bar. Jumping over the counter and heading towards the staircase that led up to the second floor of the guildhall. However, just as he was near it, Makarov suddenly stretched out his left arm, grew his fist five times bigger, and then slammed it down on the Dragon-Slayer. Crushing him down on the floor and pinning him to the floor.

Needless to say, it shocked Sam, Lucy, and even Mira. Jasper was shocked too, before he started laughing. Makarov didn't even face Natsu, but instead kept his eyes closed and head lowered. "You're not allowed on the second floor, Natsu. At least, not yet," he stated with a very serious tone.

Laxus rested his head on the rails. and scoffed. "I think you made him grumpy."

"Shut up!" Natsu shouted, trying to get out from under Makarov's massive fist.

"The most powerful one in the guild isn't a chick or some hooded weirdo," Laxus said prideful, drawing a glare from Erza. "You want to know what the strongest wizard looks like? You're looking right at him!"

"Is that so?" There was dead silence in the guildhall, before everyone turned to the person that said that. As it turned out, it was their resident Titan-Slayer, glaring at Laxus while still in his Titan form. Sam then smirked. "I highly doubt it by the way you talk and act. So why don't you keep your mouth shut!"

The guild gasped as Sam said this to Laxus. Some were nervously looking back at Laxus. As for Laxus, his smirk disappeared and narrowed his hard gaze at Sam. He then jumped down from the second floor and glare down the Atomic Titan-Slayer. Everyone went silent as they nervously watched.

"What did you just say?" Laxus growled threateningly. Several of the guild's members backed away, knowing full well what was about to happen.

"You heard me," Sam growl, unafraid.

Anger surged through Laxus as his hands became coated in lightning. Sam's dorsal plates glowed and hummed as he charged his magic.

"That's enough! Both of you!" Makarov quickly intervened. "There'll be no more fighting today! Laxus, just go back upstairs."

Laxus hesitant, but listened and turned away. Going back upstairs before disappearing. Everyone else then let out a sigh of relief. The whole scenario was over and they were able to breathe again. Returning back to what they were previously doing. Some still shocked that Sam actually did that. Makarov shook his head in disappointment.

"If I wasn't here to see it, I don't think I'd believe it," Gray said in shock to Elfman.

"Yeah, saying that to Laxus takes a lot of manliness," Elfman said in a hushed tone.

Sam walked over to the bar to finish the last of his meal before Mira walked up to him. "Hey, Sam. I just wanted to say thank you for standing up to Laxus like that," she said with a smile. However, she then frowned placed her hands on the counter. "But seriously, be careful around Laxus. He's a jerk but he really is one of Fairy Tail's strongest wizards."

The Titan-Slayer looked up at her as she stared at him with a worried look. The way her big blue eyes staring into his orange ones as he stared at her. She really was beautiful. Just like with Erza, she made something inside of him feel fuzzy. It was really hard for him to describe. So, he did the only thing he could do and smile at Mira. "Alright, Mirajane. I'll be careful."

Mira's smile returned again. "If you want, just call me Mira."

"Okay, Mira," Sam said with a grin. This just made her giggle. She may have only known Sam for a short amount of time, but she thoroughly enjoyed his company.

"Well, I better be getting back to work. This place isn't going to take care of itself," Mira chirped in her ever so friendly manner before returning to serving other members of the guild.

When she left, Sam finished eating before getting up. He didn't want to transform back into his human form in front of the others, as it made him feel back to have them worry about him. One thing that he found out was that it was much better to transform back into his human form when he's in water. Especially when it felt like his body was being superheated.

He was about to halfway to the door when a certain Dragon-Slayer zoomed up to him with Happy perched on his shoulder and Jasper flying around them with a big grin on his face.

"Sam, come with me!" Natsu grabbed the Titan-Slayer's arm and pulled him in an urgent manner out of the guild.

Later on in the day, the sun had gone down, and most of the wizards of Fairy Tail had left to go home and get some sleep. Mirajane and Lucy were the only people left in the guild, with the barmaid still standing behind the bar counter. Lucy sat on a stool in front of it as Mira served her a drink. "Hey, Mirajane, let me ask you something. What was the master talking about earlier? Why can't we go up to the second floor?" the blonde asked curiously.

"That area's reserved for advanced members of the guild. The jobs that are listed on the request board up there make the ones listed down here look like child's play in comparison. They're called S-Class quests," Mirajane explained, pointing up to the second floor.

"S-Class?" Lucy asked.

Mirajane nodded and explained, "They're jobs so dangerous that one wrong move could be your last. But with that risk comes a higher reward. Master Makarov handpicks the wizards he thinks are capable of handling these jobs. There are only five people in the entire guild who are considered S-Class. That includes Laxus, Mystogan, and Erza."

"Wow..." Lucy's eyes widened from the surprise after hearing that.

Mirajane turned back to Lucy. "I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, Lucy. In my opinion, there's no amount of money that's worth risking your life over.

"Yeah, no kidding," Lucy agreed.

Sometime later, Lucy was walked back to her home with a smile on her face. It really amazing that there were so many famous wizards like Mystogen and Laxus were in Fairy Tail. "And I think I'm starting to get how everyone's ranked within the guild," she thought aloud. She had to admit, the thought of being an S-Class wizard was very appealing. Large rewards, but she wasn't the biggest fan of the 'she could die' part of it.

However, her thoughts were interrupted when she heard something come out of the canal when she was just in front of her rented house. She turned around and saw it was none other than Sam with a smile on his face as he greeted her. Now back in his human form.

"Hi, Lucy," he said, his poncho dripping with water.

Lucy stared at her friend, a little confused. "Um...hey, Sam. What were you doing in the water? And why are you here?"

"The canal's kind of where I'm living until I can put down some money in a house near the sea. You know, just be a little closer to my old home," he said with a shrug of his shoulders.

She had to admit, that wasn't a bad idea for the Titan-Slayer. And with Fairy Tail right in front of the sea, it'd be the ideal location for him. "That's pretty cool, but why are you here right now? I'd thought you'd be asleep."

"Well..." Sam trailed off, rubbing the back of his head and looking up at the window of her house. Lucy followed his gaze to her window before a bad feeling well up in her gut.

"Don't tell me Natsu and Happy are in my house..." Lucy sighed out.

"Okay..." Sam said before there was a pause. "...But those two and Jasper are in your house."

Lucy suddenly turned and ran up the stairs, jammed the key into the lock, turned the doorknob, and threw the door open. Rushing inside as the white-haired young man followed at a walking pace. When she entered the house, she was met with the sight of Natsu and Happy on her bed and Jasper sitting on her desk. Natsu had taken off his vest and was doing sit-ups while Happy was lifting a dumbbell that was just his size. Jasper was looking through the pages of her novel.

"Welcome home!" Natsu greeted mid-crunch.

"Sup?" Happy greeted, lifting his dumbbell.

"What the hell is this crap?" Jasper greeted, holding a few of her pages.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed before she angrily grabbed Jasper by his tail and then swung him like a bat, hitting both Natsu and Happy off her bed. "YOU GUYS STINK!"

Jasper was dropped onto the ground before he sat up and glared angrily at Lucy. "You stupid bitch! Watch the merchandise!" He shouted, holding up his bent out of shape tail.

"You watch your mouth!" Lucy shouted back before pointing to the window. "Why don't you jerks work out at your own house!?"

Natsu got up and grinned happily. "Now Lucy, if we want to work together like a team, we gotta train like one." he pulled out a pink dumbbell and held it out to her.

"We thought you'd like the pink dumbbell." Happy added.

"Isn't it pretty?" Jasper said mockingly.

"I DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR IT IS, I'M NOT LIFTING WEIGHTS WITH YOU!" Lucy yelled angrily.

Sam walked up to them and crossed his arms. He was just dragged out of the guildhall when he just wanted to transform back into a human and now his team was all here. "Alright, Natsu, are you going to tell us what's going on here? Why'd you have me come here?" He asked.

Lucy turned to him with a confused look. "Wait, you don't know what's going on?"

Natsu grinned. "I've made a decision. Our team is ready for the big time: S-Class!" He stated, before Jasper jumped onto the desk and pulled out a flyer that had a large red stamp with a large S in the middle of it and the word 'class' next to it.

"Behold!" Jasper said with a grin.

The moment Lucy saw that red stamp, her eyes bugged out of her skull. "How did you get that!?" she cried, mortified. "I thought we weren't allowed to go on the second floor!"

"Really? Natsu just told me to climb up the stairs and take it." Jasper said, a little confused, before turning the flier over and looked at it. "Personally, I would have gone for the higher paying ones."

Lucy grabbed Natsu by his scarf and pulled him closer to her face. "Why did you have to drag Jasper into this?!" She growled.

"I was planning on stealing something from the second floor, so might as well take something that'll make me money."

"YOU LITTLE CAT BURGLAR!"

Jasper grinned his cheeky grin from her reaction. However, Sam was still confused as to what was going on and spoke up. "S-Class? Second floor? Just what the hell is S-Class, anyway?"

Natsu pulled himself away from Lucy and was putting back on his vest. "They're missions that are extremely dangerous, but the rewards for it are even bigger!" Natsu stated with a large grin. "And since this is our first S-Class request, we decided to go for the one with the smallest reward on the board."

"Seven million Jewels isn't a small reward, lizard-boy," Jasper commented, practically drooling with Jewel signs in his eyes.

"What did you call me!?"

"We're not ready for it! If the master knew we had this job request, he'd be furious!" Lucy argued.

"Yeah, but I think he'll end up being proud of us if we actually pulled this off." Natsu countered nonchalantly.

Lucy simply sighed and in irritation and sat down on the chair of her desk. Crossing her legs and resting her cheek on her palm. "You know, this may be the dumbest thing you've ever done, Natsu."

"When doesn't he do something dumb?" Happy asked with a paw over his mouth.

"If you want to rise up through the ranks, you should try following the guild's rules," Lucy argued

"Jeez, we're never gonna make S-Class with that kind of attitude," Natsu grumbled.

"You can handle this one your own. I'm staying right here," Lucy asserted.

"Enough!" Sam said a little loudly, holding up his hands to both of them. He then turned to Jasper. "Lemme see the request."

"Huh? Why?" Jasper asked.

"Because if I want to know just how far in over our heads we're going to be." He answered.

Jasper handed it over to him and Sam took the paper from him. The first thing he saw was the big "HELP US" in bold letters at the top of the piece of paper. Directly under it was a large and open and mountainous island. The description of the job was that there's a place called Galuna Island that had a curse that was placed on it for three years, and they wanted someone to lift it.

"You should go there, son," Godzilla said having been awakened by all the loud voices and saw through his host the island.

"Why? What's there?" Sam asked through his thoughts.

"You'll see."

Sam sighed. He hated it when his dad would be so secretive. "Alright, I'm going to the island with you guys."

Hearing the word island get Lucy's attention as she looked at the flier curiously. "Really? It's on an island?"

"Yeah, it's a tropical one," Sam said. "All we've got to do if lift a curse that's placed on the island and then we get paid."

"No way! Definitely not going now!" Lucy freaked out.

"Oh come on, I'll give you half the fish I catch, Lucy." Happy said, standing next to Jasper.

"WHAT KINDA INCENTIVE IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?" The blonde yelled. Lucy then calmed down and folded her arms before turning to Sam. Natsu, Happy and Jasper were jumping out of the window to exit her home. "And besides, why are you going, Sam?"

"Godzilla's telling me to go there. He wouldn't explain it, but if there's something there that he finds important, then I'm going." Sam said, showing her the flier and pointing to the island.

Lucy looked at the flier again and her eyes widened. Snatching it out of his hands, she got a closer look and took note of a rather tempting side-reward for completing the mission. "Is this for real?! On top of the giant reward, you also get a Gate Key?!"

That's when a mischievous glint came into her eyes.

"You're coming along, too, aren't you?" Sam asked with a bemused smirk.

"Maybe..."

The next day, it started off rather normally for the beautiful Mirajane Strauss. She was taking care of the guild and serving food and drinks when she had to go up to the second floor to serve Laxus his drink. She didn't like to, but she was the only one there that was allowed and he wasn't going to come down. However, just as she was about to come back down, Mira looked at the S-Class request board and her face turned to terror.

One of the three requests were gone.

"On no! Master, one of the S-Class quests is missing!" Mira exclaimed, rushing down the stairs with an urgent expression.

Makarov took another sip of his cup of coffee, not seeming to register what he was just told for a second or two. But when he did, he spat out his coffee with a look of horror on his usually stern face and turned to the barmaid. "WHAT?!" He cried in shock. It was a relatively quiet day at the guild, but when everyone heard what Mira just said, they were shocked and surprised, to say the least.

"Say what?! One of the jobs from the second floor is missing?" Wakaba asked in disbelief.

"But the jobs up there are S-Class quests. Does anyone know who took off with it?" Macao asked.

"Well, it's either someone really strong or really stupid," Laki commented.

"I know," said Laxus as he carelessly rested his feet on top of a wooden table. Everyone turned to look at him as he had his eyes closed and still looked smug. "A tomcat with goggles came up here and ripped it off the board."

Mira quickly turned to Laxus. "It was Jasper!?" she gasped. That single question got the entire guild muttering amongst itself.

"He must have stolen it for Natsu, Lucy, Sam, and Happy!" Wakaba exclaimed.

"That's crazy. What are they thinking?" Macao asked no one in particular.

"They've got some nerves taking on an S-Class quest," said Alzack Connell, a young man of average height with long black hair that covers the right part of his face. His eyes were black as well, and the right one was always obscured by his hair. A man from the western country, Alzack's attire mirrored that of fictional cowboys, minus their signature hats. His outfit consisted of a long brown coat resembling a poncho with tasseled edges together with a shirt and torn pants with strips similar to the ones on his coat hanging from their edges - these being held up by a studded belt with a skull-shaped buckle. On his feet, he wore boots. He had a case on his right hip, attached to a belt, in which he usually keeps one of his guns, consisting of a large leather belt, seemingly decorated by concentric circles in its widest part.

"I don't know if I'd call it nerve, but it's definitely dumb," added his partner, Bisca Mulan. She was a young woman with long, straight green hair that reached down to her lower back and a set of long bangs framing her face. She had brownish-purple eyes, large breasts, and was wearing red lipstick. Just like Alzack, Bisca's attire mirrored that of a fictional cowgirl, with a Western-style hat always visible on her head, a light, polka-dotted neck scarf, and a pair of reddish-brown boots. Her body was covered by a short, strapless one-piece dress decorated by spiraling motifs with darker, striped edges.

"That's a serious breach of the rules. Hey, gramps, a stunt like that'll get you kicked out of the guild, am I right? Not that it matters. It's not like those losers are gonna make it back alive from an S-Class quest," Laxus scoff.

Mira marched back up the stairs and glared at the blonde-haired man with her hands placed firmly on her hips. "Laxus, if you knew, why didn't you stop 'em?" She yelled in an angry tone

"Oh, Lighten up," Laxus said with an evil smirk. "All I saw was a cat a tomcat flying off with a piece of paper in it's paws, trying to act all sneaky. I had no idea that this Jasper was one of use. Besides, Natsu's not cleared for S-Class. I'd never dreamed he'd break the rules."

That was a lie, and everyone knew it. Natsu was a pain in their butts, but this went above and beyond anything that he's ever done in the past

The air around the two of them grew cold as the white-haired barmaid held a fierce glare that would have made a lesser man on their knees. A dark and sinister aura surrounded her, lacing in her expression. It was one thing to let Jasper getaway with the request, knowing full well what Natsu was going to do, but now Sam was going along with them without knowing the kind of danger he was going to be facing was another. The spine chilling glare held all her fury and resentment for Laxus, but all it did was make him chuckle.

"You haven't given me that look in a while." He said, amused.

"This isn't good...I'd expect this kind of thing from Natsu, but I didn't think Sam would have done it." Makarov thought aloud, sounding disappointed.

"But Master Makarov, Sam likely didn't know that S-Class jobs were forbidden for wizards that weren't S-Class. Lucy didn't know at first, and Natsu took Sam with him before I explained it to her." Mira said, coming to the defense of the Titan-Slayer.

"That may be true..." It was a valid point. The fact of the matter was that if Natsu was intending on dragging the Titan-Slayer along, he wouldn't have explained it was forbidden for the purposes of getting him to go along with it. "...but if he did know then he'll be reprimanded with Lucy and Natsu," Makarov stated. He looked up at Mira. "Well, which job was it?"

Mirajane turned away from Laxus, but continued glaring at him from the corner of her eyes, all while Laxus gave her a snide smirk. "For lifting the curse on Galuna Island," Mira answered, causing Makarov's eyes to widen.

"WHAT!?"

"Galuna Island?!" Makarov shouted, earning collective gasps from the others. All of the quests on that board were dangerous and suicidal, but that mission has remained untouched by anyone for a good reason.

No one who took it ever returned.

He jumped off his place on the bar counter and ran a few feet from it to look up at Laxus. "Laxus! Go and fetch them at once!"

"Yeah, right. I got better things to do, gramps. And besides, everyone in Fairy Tail is supposed to be able to take care of themselves. Right?" Laxus replied, giving a dismissive wave.

"I don't care how you feel about Natsu! None of them have any idea what they're getting themselves into, especially Sam! The fact is you're the only one strong enough to bring the two of them back by force!"

"Sorry, Master..." Gray had remained silent the whole time, but then stood up. His face carrying a serious expression as he looked directly at Makarov. "But I'm afraid I got to disagree with you."

Meanwhile, Sam, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Jasper were arriving at the picturesque port town of Hargeon. The place the Titan-Slayer met his three friends. As they walked through the town, he pulled back his poncho's hood and took in a deep breath. Taking in the smell of the sea with a nostalgic smile.

"Wow, this brings back memories," Lucy commented with her own sense of nostalgia. "It seems like only yesterday when we all met here for the first time."

"It practically was yesterday..." Natsu commented blankly. Happy was hanging onto his sleeping bag attached to his backpack "You don't have to get all mushy about it."

"Technically it was two weeks ago," Sam said, wearing his own backpack. Jasper was standing on top of it, with his arms on the Titan-Slayer's head. Sam then pointed his arms in the direction of the harbor. "I'll be able to swim to the island. Let's get you guys a boat."

However, Natsu instantly started to panic at the thought of being transported. "ARE YOU CRAZY?! Forget the boat! Take me with you, Sam! We'll all just swim there!"

"Yeah, just let him swim there," Jasper said, rolling his eyes. "All the Fire Dragons can swim in water."

"Well, not unless you can grow gills like me, Natsu. We don't even know where the island is," Sam stated before turning and walking off with Lucy following behind. "Now come on. I'm sure there's someone that'll take you guys."

However, finding someone to take them to island was near impossible. Just the mere mention of Galuna Island was enough for them to turn the five down. Not even if they offered for a million Jewel or the treasure that Sam had on him. Saying that it was bad luck to even mention the name. One was willing to take them. Said that island's curse so unless they had a death wish, they were warned to stay far away.

"Don't know why you'd want to go there, but no sailor worth his salt is gonna take you to Galuna. Not even pirates will go near that place," said the last sailor they tried.

Sam sighed and nodded thanks. That was it. They've asked every sailor and fisherman in Hargeon and no one wanted to even consider helping them at all. It was starting to get frustrating. However, Natsu and Happy weren't too heartbroken. In fact, the fire-breather looking rather joyful.

"It looks like we're gonna be swimming, after all," Natsu said.

"Or we could just ride on Sam all the way there," Happy said.

"You guys even try and get on my back, and I'll drown you and feed you to the sharks," Sam growled at them. But then he picked up a familiar scent.

The familiar scent was soon followed by the voice of Gray as he appeared behind them. Placing his hand on Natsu and Lucy's shoulders from behind. "I found you."

Hearing his voice so suddenly made Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Jasper screamed and jumped. Sam calmly turned around wide the others spun around in shock. Seeing Gray standing there with a smirk of triumphant.

"It's Gray!" Lucy exclaimed, stunned to see the Ice-Make wizard.

"What the hell, man? You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Jasper yelled, paw over his heart.

"What are you doing here?!" Natsu exclaimed, startled and frustrated.

"Gramps found out about your harebrained scheme and sent me to bring yah back," Gray said with an annoyed expression.

Natsu's eyes budged in shock and his jaw dropped. "Why?! We're not in danger yet!"

"If you come back now, you might avoid being kicked out of the guild," Gray responded.

"Wait, kicked out?" Sam asked with a look of confusion that he and Jasper shared. "What do you mean kicked out?"

"Oh...so you two really didn't know, Sam?" Gray asked, taking notice of the Titan-Slayer's lost look. He then turned to the gray and white cat on him. "What about you, Jasper? Did you know why Natsu had you to steal that request?"

"He just told me to steal it." Jasper shrugged. He then turned to Natsu, now believing that the pink-haired Dragon-Slayer was keeping something from him and Sam. "Alright, Natsu. What exactly is going on here?"

"Gray, what do you mean by being kicked out?" Sam asked his original question again.

"Only S-Class wizards are supposed to take S-Class quests. They're selected out of the guild by the master himself. That's why the second floor exits. So that regular guild members can't have to access to the quests. If you go up there, take a quest, all while not actually being S-Class, then you can get kicked out of the guild. That's why I'm here to take you back," Gray explained.

"I don't care! I'm goin' on this S-Class quest!" Natsu gritted his teeth as he got in Gray's face. Sam suddenly grabbed Natsu by the back of his neck and roughly pulled him back from Gray.

"Natsu, can I have a word with you?" He demanded, no asked. Sam pulled him away from the others for only a few feet. Over to where two barrels were placed. Lucy and Happy looked slightly nervous, while Jasper just crossed his arms with a glare. Gray was indifferent and just watched, secretly hoping Sam would do something to Natsu.

Sam let go of Natsu's neck and had him sit down on one of the barrels, before taking a seat on the other. And then he took a deep breath.

"Natsu, you're one of my closest friends, right?" he asked.

"Well, yeah." Natsu was about to say more when Sam interrupted him by holding up his hand. Stopping him.

"So, as my friend, tell me the truth," he said before looking Natsu dead in the eyes. "Did you know about this rule?"

Natsu's face started to sweat when he replied, "Yes..."

"Ah! Very good. Would you mind tell me when you were going to share this with me, Lucy, and Jasper."

"And you wouldn't be angry?"

"I will not be angry."

"Well, I really wasn't..." Natsu replied, smiling nervously.

Sam's silent pause seemed to have been echoed by the sea. The waves and even all ship sailing or docked went eerily quiet. And then he asked, "You weren't. You weren't going to what?"

"I wasn't going to...tell you?"

Again, another pause which just made the others nervous. And then Sam asked, "Why?"

"I-I just thought it...didn't really...matter?" Natsu released a nervous chuckle. Sam then started to chuckle with him. He then stood up.

Sam placed one hand around the back of Natsu's neck when he was about to stand up and forced him to sit back down. "Are you saying that you weren't going to tell us that taking the S-Class quest, that you wanted to drag us along into, would have gotten all of us...?" Sam then grabbed Natsu's neck with both hands, lifted him off the ground, and started throttling him by the neck. "KICKED OUT OF FAIRY TAIL!? Is that what you're telling me!?" Sam yelled in furious anger, still strangling Natsu.

"Sam, stop!" Lucy ran over and tried to pull the Titan-Slayer off Natsu, but he wouldn't budge. "I'm sure it wasn't like that!" she exclaimed, trying to defuse the situation.

"Let me guess, figured that if you were going down, you'd be taking the team down with you, right?!" Jasper yelled at Natsu accusingly. "I've tasted Mira's cooking, and I'm not going back to eating out of the trash!"

Sam growled out a sigh, before letting go of Natsu. Dropping him to ground where he coughed and took deep breaths of air while rubbing his neck. Sam stood up and glared down at him, before Titan-Slayer turned to Gray.

"What kind of punishment will we face if we go back?"

"Well, since it turned out you actually didn't know, then you'll likely get off with just a light punishment, Sam," Gray stated. He then looked at Natsu as he was scrambling to his feet. "You, on the other hand; you're going to be in big trouble, Natsu."

Sam turned to Lucy and the cats, then turned to Natsu as he stopped rubbing his neck, which had a slight bruise. "We're going back to the guild," he said firmly to them.

"What?! But the quest!" Natsu whined.

"You don't get a say in this! I want to go to the island, but if its really against the rules of the guild, then I don't want to upset the master. I've just found Fairy Tail, I'm not getting kicked out of it because of you."

"Fine, then go back! I'll just take the quest on myself," Natsu stated. "I've gotta prove my power to everyone!"

Gray walked over and narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Man, you're way out of your league here. Just listen to Sam and come home," he said. Suddenly his face turned to a grave expression. "When Erza finds out about this, she's gonna be so angry."

That sent a cold and scary image running through Natsu, Happy, and Lucy's head. Getting kicked out of the Fairy Tail was one thing, but the thought of having to face an enraged Erza had them nearly wetting their underwear. Sam wasn't that scared, but respected the red-haired woman's strength to know it wasn't going to be pretty if he didn't come along.

"Please, what can she do that's so bad?" Jasper asked nonchalantly.

"...You don't wanna know, Jasper."

Happy flew over to Gray's shoulder. "Please, Gray, you got to save me! I told them this was a bad idea, but they forced me to come along!"

Suddenly Jasper had Happy in a headlock and was choking him hard as he and Lucy both glared furiously at him. "YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR!" They both screamed.

"If I'm going down, you're going down with me! You and Natsu used me to do your dirty work!" Jasper yelled. Happy patted his arm, desperately trying to say uncle and tap out.

"Come on, we're leaving," Sam said firmly, grabbing Jasper and pulling up and away from Happy, then set him back down on the ground. "We'll just ask one of the S-Class wizards to take care of lifting Galuna Island's curse."

Jut as he had said the island's name, someone had heard home and their attention was caught. The man was of average height with a large, black mustache, which goes from his nose, around his mouth to his chin. He was a dark-skinned man with black hair, black eyes. He wore a blue cap adorned with skulls, a light green cape, which was wrapped around his chin, and a white T-shirt. He also wears dark pants, which are held up by a pink rope tied around his stomach, functioning as a belt, and dark boots.

In his small boat, he called out to the wizards, "I'm sorry, but did you just say Galuna Island? Are you wizards? Have you come to lift the curse?" he asked hopefully.

"Yeah!" Natsu replied, only for Sam to punch him in the face. Knocking him down to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but we can't. We're not S-Class." Sam corrected.

The sailor stared at the wizards for a moment before sighing in disappointment. "I see...that's very unfortunate to hear. The people of the island have suffered for many years, and still suffering. They really could use the help of some powerful wizards."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked carefully, walking over to the man. "What is the curse?"

"It's far too terrible and grotesque to describe..." the man replied heavily. His expression saddened and his tone grave.

Before, the Titan-Slayer was ready to go on the mission just because Godzilla told him that there was something there. But then when he learned that going the mission would have gotten him kicked out of Fairy Tail, and was ready to back out of it. However, something clicked in him when he heard that there were people on the land that were suffering. If there really were people's lives at stake, it was a calling for him. He didn't need his instincts to tell him that he couldn't turn away from this now. Maybe it was the fact that Godzilla was the driving force to restore balance to nature whenever that balance is disrupted. Or maybe it just wasn't in his nature.

At that moment, he knew full well what he would have to do. He couldn't ignore the calls for help of an entire island suffering, and could only hope that Master Makarov could understand if and when they returned after completing the mission. Just as long as no one died, but if he was going along, then they'll likely have a chance of getting the quest done quicker and all of them coming home in one piece.

Sam closed his eyes and sighed, turning into his Titan form again in a cloud of steam releasing from his body. "Okay..."

The man looked at Sam in confusion. The five wizards behind him looked at each other in confusion before looking back to Sam.

"'Okay'?" Natsu repeated, bewildered.

"What's 'okay'?" Happy questioned.

"Sam, what are you doing?" Lucy asked.

He turned back to the others and opened his eyes. "We're going to the island and we're lifting this curse."

"WHAT!?" Lucy, Gray, Happy, and Jasper shouted, shocked.

"Alright!" Natsu cheered.

The sailor stared at the Titan-Slayer with shock and bewildered eyes. Then, after a moment, he recomposed himself and pointed to his boat. "Then get in. I'll take you to the island," he stated firmly.

"What?" the Celestial-Spirit wizard of the team said, surprised. Just as the others were with the sailor's sudden change of mind.

"Seriously?!" Natsu added.

"Sam, think about what you're doing," Gray said. "If you go..." Suddenly he was hit with a shock of electricity from behind, making him scream in pain before falling down to the ground, revealing Jasper with one of his cannons Re-Constructed and a wide, devilish grin.

Everyone with the except of Natsu was greatly shocked and confused by the abruptness of it. "Quick! Get him in the boat before he wakes up!" Jasper ordered, frantically waving his arms up and down. With his rival rendered unable to move and speak, Natsu grinned and lifted the Ice-Make wizard up and then tossed him into the boat.

"There we go. Ready when you are, sir," Natsu proclaimed.

"Uh, Jasper? Why did you do that?" Sam asked, cocking a brow in confusion.

"You sure we should bring him with us?" Lucy implied.

"Because he's a witness. Don't you guys know how this works? We can't let him go back to the guild and rat us out," Jasper said, deconstructing his cannon into nothing.

Natsu then began to tremble and sweat when he said, "And because the next person they'll send is Erza." That got Lucy to realize that it was the right call. Especially when the idea of Erza hunting them down like dogs made her and Happy mirror Natsu's fear.

"What is it with you guys being so afraid of her? She's a little rough around the edges, but she seems nice to me," Sam said.

"...You don't wanna know," Natsu robotically utter.

Everyone but the Titan-Slayer got onto the boat with Natsu. Still wondering why Erza was so feared, Sam just shrugged before jumping into the water. Shortly thereafter, they were off.

How could Sam describe being back out at sea when he had gotten used to sleeping in the canal of Magnolia? The canals were tighter, and there was so much noise with small ships sailing through the waters above him when he just wanted a good night's rest. Returning to the ocean, he had a sense of freedom that couldn't be rivaled. He wasn't bounded by floors that stopped him from going deeper or had walls on his right and left blocking him. Nope, nothing but open water to swim in every direction.

Later on that day, everyone but Sam sat quietly with the sailor of the boat refusing to speak until they got closer to the island. So there was an awkward silence for quite some time. Gray had recovered from being knocked out, only to find himself unable to use his magic since he was tied up. Lucy was growing more and more nervous the closer they got to the island and Happy was his usual self. Jasper the look-out. Standing on top of Natsu's head with a Re-Constructed telescope that he used to scan the horizon. As for Natsu, he was practically was ready to jump off the boat due to his severe motion sickness. So he was just leaning off the side.

It was night time, and after several minutes of seeing no signs of Sam, the Titan-Slayer came popping out of the water with the biggest grin on his face that the others had ever seen. "Man, does it feel great to be home! I mean, just the feeling and the smells," he said with joy, swimming up to the boat and grabbing the side of it. "So, how are you all feeling?"

"Uh, guys," Jasper said, pointing out to something in front of them. When they looked there eyes widened to see a massive storm in front of them. Large and ominous, it was like it had appeared out of nowhere and was now a giant wall of thundering clouds that stood miles into the air and with lightning going crazy inside of it. Blocking out the moon.

"Okay, now, I'm starting to get scared," Lucy said shakily, even more, unsettled.

"Well, look on the bright side, at least you're not tied up." Gray retorted, still angry and irritated that he was tied up, just as much as he was with his friends breaking the guilds rule.

"You should be lucky that I don't tie your sorry ass to a cinderblock and push you off the side of the boat," Jasper snapped, irritated that the Ice wizard was complaining.

"Calm down, you're almost there. See that hurricane? It surrounds the island. You'll have to go through it to reach the island," the sailor said, powering the boat with his magic. Focusing it into a small glowing orb at the back of the boat.

That just made Lucy freak out even more before Gray snapped at him. "This is your fault too, buddy! Why'd you decide to let us on?!"

"The name is Bobo," the man replied with a neutral expression. "And if you must know, I used to be a citizen of Galuna Island...well, that's what we had to call it when we made the request. The real name of the island would have guaranteed that no one would have taken the quest."

"Then, why are you here?" Sam questioned, climbing into the boat with the others.

There was no response from Bobo at the moment. However, his expression grew darker as he turned to the sea. Alway from the storm. "Because I had to flee. I just couldn't take it anymore. I should warn you. Tragedy befalls anyone that steps foot on the island. There's no avoiding it, that is, unless you're able to lift the curse."

Bobo then pulled his cloak away to expose his left arm, and the wizards gasped in terror.

It was twisted into a deformed and bizarre, dark purple exoskeleton. It was far from anything that was considered human. It had a demonic appearance, and foreshadowed what they'll be facing on the island.

"...This vile demon's curse."

"Whoa, your arm, what happened to it?" Gray asked, shock.

"Is that the curse?" Lucy queried.

Again, there was no response from Bobo. Instead, he looked ahead of the boat at the hurricane. "We're almost there. Just go straight through it."

They all looked at the storm and gawked at its seer size. One moment, they were miles away from it. Now, the water was started to become rocky, and Natsu had just thrown up. The wall of clouds and thunder towered over them like a great wall of power and might.

"Bobo, what's the real name of this island?" Sam asked. But when he got no answer, he looked back and saw Bobo had disappeared. "What the!?"

"Where'd he go?!" Lucy asked fearfully.

"Did he fall out?" Gray wondered. Sam quickly dove into the water and began searching for Bobo. But after a minute, he jumped out of the water and landed on the boat. Making it rock harder for a moment.

"He's no down in the water," Sam said, moving to the back of the boat and placed his hand on the orb of the rudder. "We'll have to continue on without him!" The orb glowed even brighter than before, and the boat started rocketing towards the hurricane as everyone clunge to the boat. All he had to do was maintain the course and just go straight through. Just like Bobo said.

Lucy held Natsu tightly as everyone else stared at the thundering storm. Jasper then broke the silence by asking, "Have any of you looked at a hurricane and thought 'maybe we should go straight through it'. Because I just want everyone to understand that's what we're going to do."

"Yeah, well, you might wanna hang on. Because we're going in," Sam said.

And then, they entered into the storm.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the island, a sinister ritual was being held with everyone completely unaware of it.

When Sam started to wake up, his eyes slowly flickered open to the sounds of seagulls chirping. However, he was blinded by the light of the sun as it shined down on him. Once he adjusted to it, he started turning his head from side to side, looking around in a somewhat dazed state. Back in his human form, he was lying on a beach with everyone else. Natsu, Lucy, and Gray were lying on the sand unconscious, and the two cats of their group had their rear ends up with their tails sticking out of the sand.

"What...happened...?" Sam asked, staring up at the sky before having his head turn downwards. Seeing everyone else on the beach with him, and the hurricane still there. Only a couple miles from shore. That's when he remembered what had happened. During their journey through the hurricane, Sam tried to keep them going straight when a tsunami crashed down on their small wooden boat and sending everyone down into the depths in a whirlpool below. However, Sam was able to everyone and swim them to through the storm beneath the waves as fast as he could, before reaching the other side of the storm.

By the time he reached the shore, he was exhausted. Dropping everyone and their backpacks before collapsing on the ground.

A moment later, he found someone's face staring down at him. "Hey, you okay?" they asked.

That person was a boy who was taller, and much more muscular in stature than any 14-year old boy. His skin was tanned with some noticeable scars and he had freckles on his cheeks. His hair was black with blue tips and his eyes were oddly similar to Sam's; white pupils instead of black, but instead of orange, they were yellow-tinted. He did also have prominent canine teeth. The young boy was wearing a dirty and scuffed white V-neck shirt. The sleeves were completely torn off, exposing his shoulders. Blue short pants which had a patch on the left leg, and were barefooted. His hands were wrapped with torn bandages. On the front of his shirt, there was a red-painted handprint.

"I think so..." Sam slowly sat up straight and rubbed the back of his head. He then looked around for a moment. "Where are we...?"

"Well, you're on an island, dummy," the boy said with a smile.

Sam would have retorted before he up and looked down at the boy. "Wait, is this Galuna Island?"

The boy stared at him for a moment before deadpanning. "Seriously? That's the name they went with? Galuna? Well, I guess it sounds a lot better than what it's real name is," he commented.

This confused Sam a little, before remembering Bobo said something about changing the island's name so people would take the job. "Wait, so that's not it's real name, but we've still made it to the island that is Galuna Island?"

"Pretty much. Oh, hey, I think one of your friends is starting to wake up," the boy said, pointing to the others.

Sam looked and saw Lucy groaning as she sat up. "Lucy, are you okay?" he asked, walking over and offering her a hand.

"Yeah, I think so..." Lucy moaned from the slight headache she was feeling, before accepting Sam's hand. The Titan-Slayer pulled her off the ground and onto her feet. "What happened? I just remember us being dragged underwater."

"I was able to grab everyone and then swim you all to the island," Sam said. Lucy looked behind herself and saw the others were there.

"What a mess..." she muttered.

"Well, it's not all that bad," said the boy. Lucy yelped and spun around to see him smiling at her with a big smile and his fists on his hips.

"What the!? Where did you come from?" She exclaimed, pointing at him.

The boy's smile dropped for a look of confusion. "What do you mean? This is my island. Where did you guys come from?" he asked as Natsu and Gray were starting to wake up, with the latter helping the cats by pulling them out of the sand. Everyone grabbed their thinks as the boy climbed up a large rock and sat his butt down on it and watched them.

"Looks like we've made it, you guys!" Natsu exclaimed with an excited grin on his face.

"We're lucky that Sam was able to swim us to shore," Lucy added.

"Well, I don't know if I would call it lucky." Gray commented sourly.

"I just can't help but wonder what happened to the guy who brought us here..." Lucy pondered, concerned if he was still alive.

"Yeah, right after he told us about the curse, he vanished..." Sam said.

"Forget about that stuff for now and let's go exploring!" Natsu yelled, flailing his arms around excitedly.

"Aye!" Happy chirped.

"Yeah, I wouldn't do that if I were you," said the kid, gaining the attention of everyone who turned to look at him. The boy jumped off the rock and walked up to them. "You guys came to the wrong island if you were looking for a fun time. You really shouldn't have come to this place. Trust me when I say this, you guys have landed in a place that'll want you dead."

"Why did I decide to come on this mission!?" Lucy shrieked, pulling on her hair.

"Just who are you, kid?" Gray asked rather rudely, however, as Sam stared at the kid, he sensed something about him. Something familiar.

"I know you can hear, me," Godzilla said inside of Sam's head, making him recoil a bit. Even the kid looked shocked.

"I'm just surprised that you would allow yourself to be sealed inside of a human, Godzilla," said another male voice.

"You... just like me?" Sam asked, with eyes widened in total shock.

"And you're just like me...this is so cool!" the kid exclaimed with a giant grin as he looked all around Sam's body. Everyone looked at them, completely lost. "This is awesome! I never thought I'd actually get to see another one! I mean, dad had his doubt, and he didn't want me to leave the island, so I couldn't see if there were others just like me!"

Sam managed to catch the kid by his shoulders and hold him steady with a chuckle. "Easy, man. Don't run out of steam on me. Why not tell me which one do you have?"

"The Mountain who Thunders Death, you?" he responded to Sam. Instantly, everyone wanted hopelessly to comprehend what they were talking about.

"The Alpha Predator himself," Sam said

"What the hell are you two talking about?" Gray butted in.

"He's just like me," Sam said with a big grin. He then held up his arms to the boy. "He's a Titan-Slayer!"

"That's right!" He then jumped high into the air, and landed back on the rock. He then struck a pose by pointing his finger into the air and placed his other hand on his hip. "And welcome to Galuna Island! Or, as it was originally called: Skull Island!"

"My name is Ernest Cooper! Titan-Slayer of King Kong: King of the Primates!"

Godzilla will Return!

AN: Man it's great to get back to this story. I would have ended it sooner, but I just had to end it where it did, just to get you all excited for when I come back and focus on this arc!

And I could talk about some of the things that have happened, but let's talk about the big things.

Galuna Island is actually SKULL ISLAND, and we've just met Ernest Cooper, King Kong's Titan-Slayer!

After being stuck trying to figure out what to do for Kong's Titan-Slayer, I've decided to just instead go with my gut, and my gut was telling that instead of having Methuselah as Lamia Scale's Titan-Slayer, I'll just have Kong's Titan-Slayer take his place. Let's face it, it's likely that we'll never get any information on Methuselah. Poor mountain turtle. And all it took was just changing the location of the Galuna Island Arc to make it work like clockwork!

Ernest Cooper was a fairly easy character to think of. His name is based on Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, the duo who created the original King Kong, so you know I had to pay respects to them for creating one of the most beloved movie monsters and the one film that changed the art of cinema forever. The reason I have him as a 14-year-old is because in Kong: Skull Island, Kong is still really young. A "teenager orphaned early and forced to assume adult responsibilities", just like Sam. However, being that he's still young, I wanted him to have a moment lively and adventurous personality. Kind of like a normal shonen hero, but still taking his job as a Titan-Slayer seriously.

Plus, when the time skip happens, he'll become older. Just like Kong now is in the Monsterverse.

As for Skull Island being Galuna Island in this story...come on. I just had to do it. Plus, I can have some fun with the idea of Team Sam (Team Natsu) being trapped on the island, just like in the movies. It's still the same plot as in the series, but now we'll have the threats that are on Skull Island trying to kill them.

I don't know who will be hooking up with Ernest, but it's likely going to be someone from outside of the guild. I'm still thinking Kagura.

And now we know there might be other Titan-Slayers out there, and they all could have been made the same ways as Sam was. What could this mean?

Again, the whole thing about Lucy's breasts being lasers was a joke. But we are seeing Mothra's growth in her.

Also, let's be honest, who wouldn't have also wanted to strangle Natsu after realizing that he wasn't going to tell you that the quest would have caused you to be kicked out of the guild? That's honestly a moment that's kind of overlooked and it bothers me a little. While he was rising himself getting kicked out, he wanted to drag Lucy along to, risking her own exposition. However, the scene is played as but serious and for laugh. It's played for laughs especially if you recognize the scene from Young Frankenstein.
