> My Little X Fairy Tail > by BlackJack23 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > New world, same guild > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! "ALRIGHT ERZA, YOU AND ME RIGHT NOW," yelled Natsu angrily, fire bursting out of his mouth at each word, Brushing the rubble and dust, from the wall he just crashed through, off of his pink spiky hair and black and gold trim waistcoat, all the while squaring up to the woman in front of him, he adjusted his white knee-length trousers while flicking his white scale patterned scarf, that he always wore, back over his shoulder. "You really want another round, took you a while to recover from this morning" said Erza, calm as always, brushing aside her long crimson hair before quickly getting into a fighters stance unhindered by the steel chest plate and gauntlets. "Alright then, REQUIP!!!!" Yelled Erza, Becoming engulfed in a brilliant gold light, as she let out her signature battle cry, then in a flash of gold her current armour was stripped away as her new one quickly formed around her. She was now clad in dark red armour, sporting orange and black highlights, with some areas taking on shapes like flames and dragon’s limbs, it was made up of a breastplate with dragon like wings attached to it, orange gauntlets and dragon claw shaped greaves, she was now armed with a red broad sword with a orange spiked hilt, she brushed aside one of her long side ponytails as she raised up her sword, not saying a word, but somehow both knew this was a do or die fight. "Flame empress armor? Oh god their going to be fighting all night now," said Lucy, a doomed expression on her face, as her head slumped into her book, her long blond hair covering its pages. She was attempted to ignore her surrounding, brushing off the rubble that had got blasted onto her white and blue sleeveless shirt and blue skirt, she adjusted her belt, nearly dropping her celestial keys in the process, to get the last of the rubble off and just wanted to get on with what she was reading, she was, however, interrupted by a tall black haired man in a white coat standing besides her. "Don't worry Natsu will go down soon" "I know Gray, I just wish they'd take it ou-" Lucy started but couldn't finish as she looked up and caught sight of Gray and shouted "GRAY YOU PERVERT, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!!!!!!!" Looking down Gray quickly realised his strange stripping habit had got the better of him as he was now standing their naked, letting out a loud "AHHH!!!" He shielded his shame with one hand while struggling to pull his black pants up with the other, while fumbling with his white coat. "Yep, just another day in Fairy Tail" said a winged blue cat, hovering over the growing commotion, before tucking into a juicy fish. "OK PONY'S, WHO'S READY TO PARTY!!!!!!" Yelled a over excited pink earth pony into a microphone, before letting Vinyl drop the needles onto the records and let the music blare out full blast, as Pinky let louse with her confetti cannon. At this everypony who had gathered in Ponyvills town square for Pinky Pie's 'first problem free week in Equestria' party, one which everypony was more than happy to attend, where there was dancing, laughing and having all the fun they could have at one of Pinky's party's. While Pinky, for obvious reasons, was running here, there and everywhere entertaining the mass crowd of pony's while her friends where scattered around, AppleJack had set up a cider stall, which she ran all by herself, handing out mug after mug to partying pony's, Rainbow Dash was performing arial acrobatics for the growing crowds enjoyment, as well as her own. Rarity was mingling with a group of well dressed pony's showing off her new dress that she had been designing, and talking about, all week, Fluttershy was on the far side with her animals all dancing along in their own way while Fluttershy stood back and enjoyed the music. Twilight was in the middle of town square with spike dancing her usual goofy dance out of time with the music. Other pony's, as well as spike, had backed off so as not to be hit by a flailing limb or wing. "Now THIS is a party" said an over exited Pinky Pie, a huge grin on her face, as she plunged her head into a big pink cake. Hearing the commotion coming from inside the Fairy tail guild hall the two clocked figures hid a little deeper in to the bushs. "Are you sure this is going to work" the smaller one said staring at her partner. "Trust me, this may be ancient magic, but it will work" said the larger one simply concentrating on forming the circle. "But how can you be sure it will get ride of the whole guild." "Once this spell is complete it will open a demotion gate and send the whole guild, building and all, into a permanent rift where they can never escape, magic or not" the large one said with a sadistic smile watching as the golden magic circle completely surrounded the guild hall, but what they had not notice was a large, black haird man standing behind them. "I'd stop now if I were you." As both hoods looked round realising they'd been caught the large figure attempted to finish the spell, when he was cut off by. "IRON DRAGON ROAR!!!!!!" "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!!!!!" yelled Natsu as a huge fireball came bursting out his mouth her flying towards Erza, who, standing her ground, brought her sword down and sliced the fireball in half sending it flying ether side of her. She was given no time to recover, Natsu had trailed his attack and was now rocketing towards her, his fists blazing with fire, yelling "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!!!!!!!" As his fist slammed into her sword, that she had raised just in time. The two had been fighting like this for hours, most of the guild was in pieces and members who weren't brave enough to watch where cowering behind whatever they could find, Lucy had turned the table she was sitting at into a barricade protecting herself from the literal heat of the battle. "If those two don't stop soon there's not going to be a guild left" she screamed to Gray who was crouched next to her. "The only option we have is to fight them" "Ok, just please put some clothes on" "No time," he said, jumping over the table and performing a hand sign getting right into the fight. "Well, here goes" said Lucy as she followed Gray over drawing out one of her celestial keys ready to call forth an old friend. As the four wizards clashed in the centure they all yelled at once. "FIRE DRAGON..." "REQUIP..." "ICE MAKE..." "OPEN GATE OF THE..." Just as the whole guild was engulfed in a blinding gold light, everyone screamed, panicked, yet their was nothing they could do when before they knew it everyone felt like they where being sucked in to a world beyond their own. Then just as suddenly as it started it stopped, all members of the guild began looking round and picking each other up, just then everyone looked at where the four where fighting only to see black outlines of where they once where. Looking round everyone knew the four where gone, but then a tall woman with long white hair spoke up "has anyone seen happy?" The pony's party was in full swing and it looked like everypony was having a good time, all bar a stubborn mule in the corner complaining about everything, just then a Pinky, who was zipping back and forth, suddenly she stopped dead centure of the party and started to shake, twilight caught sight of this and went over to check on her friend. "Pinky Pie what's wrong?" Twilight asked as pony's cleared away from her, in a shaky voice she said. "Thissssssss onnnnnes aaaaaaa doooooooosey" "Their goes our problem free week in Equestria" By now the four other friends had gathered with her, a worried look shared across their faces, the Pinky sense was never wrong, and everyone in town know when Pinky's a twitchen y'all best be listening. Just at that moment a young stallion run up on stage and grabbed the mic and then yelled at the top of his lungs. "PINKY'S TWITCHEN, EVERYPONY RUN!!!!!!!!!" Screams and shouts where heard throughout the party as everypony in the area ran for their lives, fillies and colts where garbed by parents, pushing, shouting and panic came all at once, enough to make even discord proud, the only ones who didn't move where the five friends gathered around their jittery friend as she bounced all over. Just then as the last of the ponies ran for the hills Pinky stopped, picked herself up, looked her friends right in the eye and said. "Oops, false alarm." The whole town could be heard letting out a sigh of relief, pony's came out of their hiding places, the music restarted and all was well again, until... "TWITCHY TAIL!!!!!" Looking up a blazing ray of light came shining down, giving the six friend no time at all to dive out the way, as it rained down before them, the ponies watching shut their eyes and turned away, blinded by the intense light. It went on for a while before disappearing as suddenly as it arrived, leaving behind a strange mark scorched into the grass with five figures across it. Natsu stured, his head was pounding, worse than from any beating Erza could give him, he felt strange, heavy, not like himself. Slowly he opened his eyes, and was met with vibernt green grass with a small blue figure laying before him. "H-Happy" he crocked, struggling to his feet he got up, wobbling on all fours, he attempted to push up onto his legs but as he rouse up he became unbalanced on his legs and fell forward, before he it the ground he felt something catch him, it didn't feel like an arm. "Hay, are you ok?" said a voice beside Natsu, shaking his head he cleared his vision, looking round he was met with the cyan face of a horse. This was a trick, a trick with magic a horse could not talk, he must still be hearing things. "What's up?" Natsu looked at the horse in disbelief, he went to rub eye but when he looked his hand was, gone replaced by a orange hoof, quickly he began to try to touch his body to check if it was true, only causing him to fall face first into a puddle of cider. Picking himself up on to all fours he look down in disbelief at the face in the puddle starring back at a him. "You feeling ok? Natsu said nothing and just stared, then as the cyan pony beside him took at step forward... "ARRRRRRRRRR.... WHY AM I A HORSE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" > Magic is magic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zecora hid deeper into the bushes, for the two hydra in front of her where now close to killing each other. As she sat there watching the two monsters battle, she spared a thought to her friends and began to recall the conversation between her and Twilight earlier. "Come on Zecora everyone's going to be at the party, you have to come." "Sorry Twilight but I must say no, for the hydra migration is quite a show. As well as a chance to obtain, the rare ingredient hydra bane." "I understand it's important but, it would mean a lot to everyone if you where." "Very well, my persuasive friend, after I'm done, a party I shall attend." THUD!!!!! The smaller of the two fighting hydra hit the ground hard, causing Zecora to snap out of her day dream and back to the scene in front of here. Now the hydra was down all she needed was some of its blood, leaking from beneath its scales, and she would have enough to last her a thousand potions. She started to move out of her hiding place, towards the dying hydra, when she froze on the spot, she could sense something, something big and powerful, and not just the oversized hydra standing in front of her. No this was magic but, unlike any magic she had felt before, she turned in what she knew to be the direction of Ponyville. She could not believe what she saw, raining down from the sky, directly over Ponyville, was a glorious golden ray of light, she watched in awe as it went on for several seconds before coming to an end. Snapping out of the trance the light put her in, she looked round only to see that she was not the only one captivated by the light. The hydra that had been there had seen it and was now slowly walking towards where the light had been. Quickly seeing this, Zecora took to her hoofs and ran as fast as she could, she know this forest like the back of her hoof, but the hydra was big, her only hope was if she could reach town before it. "Ok, ok, I'm fine, just a little freaked," said Lucy as she got to her hoofs to stand with her friends. Needless to say she had freaked out the most, but then she had just become a pony, she guessed anyone would. After Natsu's screaming fit, the others began to wake up, all took the news of their new body's as a shock, even the normally cool headed Erza. As Twilight and her friends helped the four strange ponies to their hoofs, something became clear. Whatever or whoever they were, they certainly were not from this world. After the four where on their hoofs, and had stopped freaking out, they eventually told their story of who they where, where they came from and of fairy tail, and, once they where finished, Twilight proceeded to tell the four about Equestria and what they had become. "Hold on a sec here, the whole world is ruled by horses," said Natsu, puzzled by this idea. "Pony's..." Twilight said in a huf "...And yes, pretty much, and once Rarity gets back I'll show you what..." Twilight began, before being cut off by the arrival of Rarity and AppleJack carrying a large boutique mirror. "As requested twilight, a mirror, not my best but do be carful." "Will do Rarity, don't worry," Twilight said, rolling here eyes, as she levanted the mirror up allowing the four to get a look at their new bodies. Natsu was shocked, he had a fire orange coat that stood out with his pink spiky mane, he still had his black and gold trim waistcoat and scale patterned scarf, but what shocked him the most was, he had wings, large feathered wing, like the pony who helped him. Then he saw something, his sharp black eyes scanning the rest of his body, while he still had his fairy tail guild mark, in red on his right shoulder, he now had a image on his rear of a roaring red dragon breathing fire. Gray wasn't as surprised, his deep blue mane looked black against his snow white coat, he wore nothing, nothing new to him, but what his deep blue eyes where drawn to most, was the horn sticking out of his head. He then noticed that along with his guild mark, in black on his chest, he now had a a image of a eight pointed ice star on his flank. Lucy wouldn't dare look at first, but as she checked herself over she didn't mind her new look too much, her light blue coat complimented her blond mane, she was still wearing her white top and skirt, as well as her belt which still held her gate keys and whip. Looking at Gray and Natsu, brown eyes scanning them back and forth, then back to her, she noticed she didn't have wings or a horn she was just a regular pony, then looking at her flank and, along with her pink guild mark now on her hoof, she had the image of the night sky with a star constellation in the shape of a key. Finally when Erza's brown eyes met the image in the mirror her jaw nearly hit the floor, her crimson red mane looked almost like blood on her silver coat, she still wore her steel chest plate and now hoof adjusted gauntlets, but what took her and everypony by surprise was, out of her head grew a horn and tucked away between her armour's straps where a pair of wings. She looked at every pony there, only one, the lavender coloured pony called Twilight, had both wings and a horn, a fact everypony else seemed to notice quickly, taking one last look she saw, along with her mark in blue on her left fore leg, an image on her flank of a sword, with the guild mark on the hilt, with fairy wings coming off it. "How did you become an alicorn?" Twilight said puzzled as she looked at Erza's wings tucked behind the armour. Just then, a new scream could be heard, everypony looked to see a yellow and pink Pegasus staring in awe at the small, blue, winged animal standing right in front of her. "HAPPY!!!!!" Yelled Natsu, pushing past Fluttershy, overjoyed that his friend was ok, "how you doing little buddy, it's me Natsu." "Natsu?" said happy, a blank look across his face, then scrunching his face up he made a sound no pony expected. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" He was nearly crying on the floor with laughter, his friend as a horse, that was too much. After his first laughing fit subsided he looked round to see other ponies like Natsu, but when he caught sight of Lucy, Gray and Erza he burst into laughter once more. "Ok... So your saying you all became horses," said happy, still giggling at the sight of his friends. "Pony's and yes, according to these pony's, I'm a Pegasus, Gray's a unicorn, Lucy's an earth pony and Erza's something called an alicorn," explained Natsu as happy looked him and the others over. "Wait, Pegasus have wings, if you have wings can you fly?" At this Natsu stretched out his wings, giving them some test flaps, a smile began to grow across his face. "NO WAY, THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!!" He yelled getting only a few feet off the ground, before crashing down with a resounding thud. "Don't worry Natsu I'll teach you, no problem,"said happy with a more up beat tone of voice, however at this Twilight came over to talk to the four new arrivals. "Well all help you get use to your new bodies, but first I need to write a letter to princess Celes..." "Twilight, this Party has to cease, for some strange magic has drawn a beast." "Zecora?... Glad you could make it but errr party's over, wait, what was that about a beast" "THEIR IS A HYDRA HEADING TO PONYVILLE," yelled Twilight frantically grabbing Zecora and shaking her panicked. "Yyyyeeeesssss... As I said before, a magic light is bringing a hydra to your door," Zecora explained breaking Twilights grasp and addressing the group. As the zebra in front of them said this, the four new arrivals looked back at the mark scorched into the ground, putting it all together the group knew that they had something to do with the trouble befalling these ponies. However Natsu saw something he'd had to ask about, standing beside a frantic Twilight he tapped her shoulder causing her head to spin into his face. "Err... This hydra, four heads, orange scales, green eyes" "Yes, how did you..." She started but couldn't finish. Looking in the direction of Natsu's hoof they saw four horrible scaly heads rising above the tree line. "A HYDRA'S HERE EVERYPONY RUN!!!!!!!!," yelled a voice from the distance, causing everypony to grab whatever they had to hoof and run. Watching the scene of panicking ponies before her Twilight quickly grabbed her friends and made a plan. "Ok, so, if we get everypony into the mountains we can head for Canterlot and get the royal gard down here to drive the hydra out, if we move fast we can get everypony..." Just then the giant hydra's tail crashed through a house just as two ponies ran from it. "Twilight," said Erza standing beside the group, "we will hold the hydra off, hopefully long enough for you six to get every... Er... Pony out" "But you can bearly walk, you'll be eaten, just go, we will..." "Twilight, there is no time, we feel that us coming here has brought this on you, and so, we will help to correct it." At this Erza, Gray, Lucy, Natsu and Happy all stepped past them, dead set on fighting the hydra. Turning back Natsu gave twilight a goofy smile. "Don't worry horse face, we're Fairy Tail," said Natsu reassuringly, before Turing to Happy. "Ready little buddy? I'm gunna need a flying lesson" "Ey sir." Each member of the Fairy Tail guild chose a head and headed off to draw its attention. Natsu however ran forward with Happy, wings outstrached trying to get air born. "Come on Natsu, really flap hard, try to get more air under your wings." "I'm trying, dam this is harder than I thought." Flapping his wing as hard as he could Natsu began to feel the ground benth him dissapair only to be replaced by cool air, looking down Natsu saw himself rising higher and higher into the sky, feeling a overwhelming sence of joy, he hovered above in awe at the marvile of flight. "Hay look, I'm flying, I'm really flying." "That's it Natsu now let's get some turn practice, follow me," said Happy, banking right, getting Natsu to follow. After a short lived flying session they quickly got back to the task at hand, the hydra head that was bearing down on a number of terrified ponies. "Over here, you sorry excuse for a lizard." Yelled Natsu, hovering in front of the hydras face, giving it a swift kick causing its green eyes to focus purely on Natsu. Flying for their lives Natsu and happy weaved in and out through the building of ponyville, the hydra head swiftly closing in on them, but as the hydra head was within snapping distance of Natsu's tail, the flying duo quickly ducked through a tight ally, causing the hydra head to slam clean into the buildings. Coming to a hault a short way away they quickly caught their breath. "Dam, we lost it, best we go grab its atten......WAAAAAAAAAAA," yelled Natsu in a terrified panic, as the hydra head that had been chasing the came crashing through the wall they where leaning on. "NATSU!!!!!!!," yelled happy, as he was flung off away from him. "I'm coming little buddy, don't worry," Natsu quickly dived forward, grabbing happy before he hit the ground. "You ok pal." "Nat...su." "It ok, can you make to Twilight and the others." "I'll try, be carful Natsu." "It will take more than some lizard to take down this dragon," and with that he flue off, taking the hydra head with him, leaving the blue feline to make his way to the group of terrified ponies. Erza had quickly drawn the attention of her head, by throwing bricks and rubble from the destroyed building at it, now she was being chased by the monster down into an orchard. Quickly peering round over her shoulder she saw that the head was reeling back, ready to lunge forward and eat her whole. "Come on..." She said to herself, drawing on every bit of strength and concentration she had, "you've defeated monsters three times it's size, come on focus." But no matter how hard she focused, her magic would not come to her, no swords appeared, no new armour, just her powerless alicorn rump ready to feed the beast in front of her. The hydra head came flying towards her at a blinding speed, then out of sheer desperation, just before the hydra had her, she yelled at the top of her lungs "REQUIP!!!!!!!" As she said this her body became engulfed in a golden light, blinding the hydra and causing it to go crashing into the trees. As her old armour was stripped away her hew one quickly formed around her, as the light dispersed you could see she was now clad in plated armour, covering her chest was a large metal flower, along with a large billowing skirt with metal plating at the top. Her wings where now fully extended, clad in the same plated armour that made each feather look like a individual blade, as well as a wing-like headpiece that sat just behind her horn. Along with this she now held in a red glittery mist, a dozen long swords, all circling the air around her. The hydra head, pulling back out of the crushed bark and apples, quickly readied itself for another attack, however Erza was ready for it and as the hydra once again flue towards her, she swung her head forward causing the swords to fly right at the hydra spearing it in the mouth and neck causing it to reel back in pain. Seeing Erza use her magic, Happy couldn't help but smile, all the while Twilight looked shocked as they watched the hydras head run scared. "I should probably explain, Erza uses requip magic allowing her to change weapons, armour and outfits, even in the heat of battle, she's also got hundreds of armours and weapons at her disposal, so their no escaping her no matter what you use in a fight." Gray was struggling in his new body, had nearly tripped a few times and was now facing a real problem, he ran right into a dead end, the hydra head traveling right at him, leaving him no where to run. Just as he was about to accept his fate, the felt a power rising in his horn, a cold and tingling sensation filled his head, rather than his now nonexistent hands, until all he could do was point himself at the hydra and... "ICE MAKE BLOCK," he yelled, at this a cold beam of ice shot out creating a gigantic block of ice, giving the hydra no time to slow down, it crashed full speed into the ice. Clearly stunned by what just happened, the hydra began lifting its head up ready to take vengeance for that, however Gray had quickly recharged his horn and, facing towards the hydra, yelled. "ICE MAKE LANCE," sending out a wave of Icy spears cascading towards the hydra, catching the hydra in the neck causing it to reeled back and flee. "That's Gray for you, as an ice maker wizard he's able to make great structures and weapons from ice," said Happy to the six ponies watching in amazement at the powers these strange ponies posses. Lucy was in real danger, she had lured the hydras head into the middle of town, where it snaked around her cutting off any means of escape. Looming over her it slowly extended its head forward, ready to snap down on her new pony flesh. She fumbled around trying to grab whatever she could, then, flinging her head back, she grabbed one of her gate keys in her mouth, quickly realising which one it was she did here best to call on the spirit. "OPEN GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL, TAURUS!!!!!!," She yelled as the ground beneath her began to crack and shake. "MOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!, did somebody call my name," said the ten foot tall, black and white, heavily muscular, cow man that came bursting out of the ground along side Lucy, wearing nothing but a loin cloth holding a terrifying golden battle axe, which was almost as big as he was. "Moooo, my miss Lucy, that new animal body of yours mooooooves me in a hole new way, ever though of trying a bovine body, moooooo," he said with a lusty look in his eyes, his jaw nearly on the floor. "Not now Taurus," said Lucy with a clear tone of annoyance, just then the hydras neck began to squeeze around them, ready to crush and eat them both. Seeing the danger Lucy was in Taurus quickly jumped into the air, spinning his axe round before grappling it in both hands swinging it down and imbedding it right into the beasts neck, causing it to cry and hiss in pain, at this the hydra uncoiled itself and fled, hissing the whole time. "Thank for your help Taurus," "How about a victory smooooooch..." And at that Taurus vanished in a flash of gold light. "W...who was that?" Fluttershy said fearfully, gripping Happy tighter in her hoves. Breaking free of Fluttershy's protective grasp, Happy made his way to the front of the small crowd that had gathered round. "Lucy's known as a celestial wizard, able to make contracts with celestial spirits, who she can call on in fights as well as to accomplish other tasks." He said before being sucked back into Fluttershy's embrace. Natsu stared down at the beast below him from his vantage point in the clouds, all four of the hydras heads where now back with its body, it quickly began to make its way towards the growing crowd of terrified ponies below. Looking down Natsu could see that three of the hydra heads all had cuts and slashes riddling their necks, yet one had nothing, he was mad his friends had found their magic and put up a fight and all he had done was get chased. Racing down towards the hydra he attempted to summon his magic, flying faster and faster, aiming right for its chest he yelled... "FIRE DRAGON..." that's as far as he got when one of the heads reeled back and smacked him sending him flying. Suddenly coming too midair, he looked down to see a orange glow racing towards him, it looked to be a bakery of some kind. He crashed down onto the remnants of the building landing right in the heart of a fire, the heat of the blaze surrounded him sending a rush through his body. "Oh man... These flames taste way too sweet," said Natsu breathing in the flames, much to the shock of everypony watching. "What is he," said Rainbow Dash stunned as she watch the orange stallion, standing on the rubble of what was once sugarcube corner, breathing in the fire surrounding him. "Natsu has dragon lungs so he can breath fire, dragon scales so he can absorbe fire, and dragon claws so he can attack with fire," Happy said, addressing the whole town who was now watching the events unfold, "this type of magic was originally use to deal with dragons therefor it's known as, dragon slayer magic." "All right... I'm all fired up," said Natsu taking to the air, bearing right down on the hydra, he inflated his cheeks, taking a deep breath, then... "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!!" He yelled sending a huge ball of fire flying towards the hydra, specifically the untouched head, scorching it's scales turing them black. Not willing to give it any recovery time Natsu clapped his fore hoofs together causing a fire to burst up around him, flapping his wings he dived towards the hydra at full speed, fire blazing from his hoofs and wings, then giving his wings one last flap he rolled forward and... "FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK!!!!!!" Sending two waves of flame cascading right at the hydras chest, striking the hydra with enough force to send it reeling backwards, causing it to trip over the remaining buildings and come crashing down. There on the ground before everypony lay the once fearsome hydra, now laying there burnt, cut and impailed. Twilight, her friends and the entire town stood in awe as the four strange, heroic ponies before them, as they stepped forward, lend down, and all said in unison... "PLEASE DON'T MAKE US PAY!!!!!!" > New Trix > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is indeed a dark day for Fairy Tail," said Master Makarov, standing on the edge of the guild hall's balcony, his black eyes staring out over the city. Standing under two foot tall, he was dressed in a casual manner consisting of a white shirt with black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle covered by an orange hoodie, complete with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat. "I interrogated thouse two I beat up outside our guild, they are former members of Grimoire Heart, apparently one got his hands on a rare spell, a kind of dimension magic that he was planning to use on the guild," said Gajeel leaning agains the door, red eyes staring off into the distance. His long black hair looked wild and unkempt, probably from lack of sleep, his shabby, black tunic and brown pants looked even more unkempt then usual, the only thing that looked halfway clean was his studded gloves and boots. "A dangerous lost magic, how someone like that could get their hands on it..." "All I know is that, somehow, two dark guild dropouts got hold of a powerful spell, and now four of our strongest wizards are missing." "You are right to be concern Gajeel." "Yes well, I just hope..." "MASTER!!!!!" A shrill voice yelled as the door Gajeel was leaning against flung open sending him flying. Just then a tall woman in a long red dress burst through, panting heavily, as she held out a piece of paper. "Mirajane? What's the hurry? And what's this?" Asked Makarov, pointing at the paper. "It was sent here this morning from the magic council, I think you should read it sir," she said handing him the letter. As the guild master began reading the letter, his expression change from one of worry to one of hope. "GAJEEL!!!! Get off the floor, you need to get to Hargeon right away." "What why?" said Gajeel picking himself up, holding the metal studs on his, now flattened, face. Master Makarov said nothing, just showed him the letter, although padded to make it sound important, it basically asked all guilds to investigate several strange magical circles, as well as some strange dissapirences, that appeared all over Hargeon harbour this morning. Seeing this, Gajeel knew what the master was thinking, causing a smile to spread across his own face. "We'll rally the others," Gajeel said as he began to run down the stairs to the tower, taking Mirajane with him. At this Makarov tuned back out towards the city... "Where ever you are we will get you back, just hold on, and please stay out of trouble." Natsu was woken by two things, Erza's manly snoring, and the smell of cooking pancakes. After the fight with the hydra the four where offered a place to stay in Twilight's library, probably one of the only buildings left standing. They had mainly just crashed out on the floor, understandable after what they had been through, while Twilight and her friends had spent most of the night helping to rebuild the town, what was left of it anyway, and was now hopping to get some sleep, however she was woken by two things a loud crash from the kitchen and somepony yelling... "DRAGON!!!!!" At this Twilight sat bolt upright in bed before settling back down, it was probably just one of the new ponies waking up and seeing spike, nothin to worry ab..., just then a thought occurred, one of the new ponies was called a 'dragon slayer', and spikes is a dragon so... "BY CELESTIA I'M COMING SPIKE!!!!!" She yelled leaping out of bed, bolting down the stairs, and bursting into the kitchen, only to see a far more bewildering sight. "Hinicetomeetyoui'mNatsuwhatsyournamedoyouknowIgneel?" Natsu said at a blinding pace, all the while, vigorously shaking the small purple dragon by the claw, attempting some overzealous hoof shake. "Oh Hay, Twilight right what y... DRAGON!!!!!" Yelled Happy, greeting Twilight as he entered, before rushing over to Natsu. "So... Have you guys never seen a dragon before or..." "On the contrary Natsu was rased by one," said Erza standing with Lucy and Gray in the doorway. "WHAT!!!!" "Let me explain... When Natsu was a boy he was found by Igneel, a fire dragon, who raised Natsu as his own, he taught him literature, culture, everything, but one day seven years ago Igneel vanished and left Natsu all alone, leaving him nothing but that scarf. Anyway Natsu longs for the day he'll meet Igneel again, and has sought out any dragon that may hold a clue to where he is." Turning back to Natsu she could see what she ment. "So go on then, where's Igneel," said Natsu, almost bouncing over the fact he'd found a dragon. "Sorry but who?" Spike asked bewildered. "You know Igneel, big dragon, red scales, breathes fire, come on you must know Igneel, all dragons know each other right." "Sorry Natsu," Twilight interrupted, "but Spike is only a baby dragon, he hasn't met many other dragons, and even so, how do you know a dragon from your world could be in ours." "I knew it was a long shot but..." "Wait, what about the dragon migration," Spike now interrupted. "Dragon migration?" Asked Happy. "It's this big event, it happens once a year, were dragons from all over Equestria head to the gathering point in a volcano." "Wow, that sounds amazing." "Yes well enough dragon talk, I think breakfast is almost ready, why don't we eat and then we can talk on the way to Canterlot," said Twilight, checking her pre made schedule. Sure enough Twilight had everything planned to a T, have breakfast, head to station, wait for train, board train, arrive in Canterlot, all was going well, excepted for one pony who had had a harder train ride then most. "Never again, I'm never riding a train again," said Natsu, falling out of the train. "Even in pony form, motion sickness still gets you, what a pitiful disgrace," said Gray. "Your one to talk, last time I check your the only one of us not wearing clothes." "Let's see if this will get through that thick fiery skull, most ponies round here don't wear clothes, so for once I'm normal." DONK!!!! Erza reared up and brought her gantlet covered hooves down onto Natsu and Gray's skulls. "Knock it off both of you, we will be meeting royalty we need to represent Fairy Tail in the highest standard." Twilight led the group Into the Canterlot throne room where princess Celestia and princess Luna where waiting, as they approached they all bowed to the princesses, all bar one orange Pegasus. "Hay, I'm Natsu nice to meet yow..." Natsu started but didn't finish, as the steel clad hoof of Erza once again met the back of his head. "You idiot show some respect," said Erza angrily. "That's quite alright," began princess Celestia, "so you must be the four newcomers, the ones from a fairy tale, well we are all very pleased to meet you," she finished with a smile. "Actually your majesty we aren't from a fairy tale, we are from the Fairy Tail wizard guild, and we where sent her by..." "...This" Celestia finished, holding up the image of the circle in her magic, the circle that had brought them here. "This appears to be a very strange and unknown magic in this land, yet from what we have heard you all contain great magical power, even thouse of you without horns, frankly we are amazed," said Luna looking the four over top to bottom. "If I may be so bold, may I ask for a demonstaration." "Absolutely, I'm all fired up," said Natsu, grinning wildly, rising up into the air, he slammed his hoofs together causing them to burst into flames. "Astonishing," both sisters said in unison. "You think that's good, wait till you see this," said Natsu taking in a deep breath. "FIRE DRAGON..." "Your highness an urgent report fr..." "ROAR!!!!!" yelled Natsu sending a fire ball raging towards the guard who just entered, with no time for anyone to react, he was quickly engulfed in flames. "Oops, sorry their buddy, really should be careful when people are throwing fire around," said Natsu patting the now burnt guard. "You where the only one throwing fire," said Lucy, tuning away I a huff. Quickly the guard, summing up his last ounce of strength, picking himself up and handed a scroll to the princesses, taking hold of it in her magic Celestia thanked the guard and began to read the letter. "My pleasure mam just doing my dut...er," the guard mumbled before falling to the floor in a smouldering heap, leaving Natsu and Happy to poke him, while questioning if he was dead. As both sisters finished the letter they quickly looked round at the ponies before them, before Turing to Twilight to address her directly. "Princess, what's wrong." "It appears there's been some strange objects appearing in Appalosa, all of which are accompanied by the same circles that brought these ponies here," said Celestia, festering towards the group. "It may be strange to ask, but as you and these circles are connected, would you go to Appalosa and look into these strange objects, and Twilight I would request that you go with them," "As you wish Celestia, come on we have a train to catch," said Twilight, followed by the resounding groan of a unhappy Pegasus. "Sister I see something troubles you," said Luna as she followed her sisters gaze to the new ponies leaving the palace. "Yes, these newcomers, from what Twilight told me they are extremely powerful and possess magic unheard of in this world, I'm worried that if there world holds such magical masters what would happen if others come, more like them," she responded a worried look on her face. "Sister, one worries too much, these arrivals seem to be heros of their land, why would they not be here." The train ride to Appalosa took longer then the one to Canterlot, impeded even more so by Natsu refusing to get on and saying that he would fly, shorty before receiving a swift kick from Erza, knocking him out long enough for him to be dragged onto the train. Once they arrived Twilight looked around seeing that very few ponies where round. "Where is everypony, normal AppleJacks cousin meets us here," she said confused. Quickly the five ponies, and one flying cat, set out around town to find out what was going on. After looking for some time they came across a large number of the magic circles, however they where no bigger then a hoof print, not at all like the one that brought the wizards here, just then Twilight came rushing over to the group from the air. "You guys need to get to the other side of town quick," she said hastily, and so they all set off to find whatever was going on. As they arrived at the other side of town they quickly became lost in a sea of ponies, that were all gathering around a stage attached to a trailer, on it was a dark blue unicorn wearing a pointy wizard hat and cape. "I, the great and powerful Trixie, have gather all of the strange and magical items that have appeared, and have discovered their great magical potential, and so as a great gesture the kind and generous Trixie has decided to share these items with you, for a price," said the unicorn on stage, as she levitated over a pile of objects with her magic. "Natsu you don't think..." "That this pony has got ahold of magical items from our world, and is now trying to sell them, yes Happy I do, and we're going to put a stop to it." "First..." Trixie continued "this strange device is a food holder, it can pickup and hold any kind of foods," she said holding the item in the air, causing Natsu and Happy to giggle. "You'd think the never seen a fork before," Natsu sniggered. "Next we have the draw anywhere pen allowing you write in midair," she said holding what looked like a marker. "That's a light pen, so magic items did come through." "And finally I have here two rare crystals made from unknown material, containing untold power." "This is bad, thous are lacrima, they look magically charged," said Lucy looking up from her place in the crowd, only to be drawn to the sight of orange wings rising up out of the crowd. "YOU HAND OVER THAT STUFF RIGHT NOW!!!!!!" Yelled Natsu rising up over the crowd, he then dived right at her his hoofs ablaze. "FIRE DRAGON..." At this Trixie raised the red crystal she held in her magic, in some vain attempted to block, but as she pooled her magic around it it began to glow before... "RO....... AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!" Natsu yelled as he was sent flying into the saloon in a blaze of fire, coming from the crystal Trixie was holding. "NATSU!!!!!" Yelled Twilight before being blocked by Erza. "Don't worry, fire won't harm him, now we need to get her to hand over those items," "Ok," said Twilight, "you get the crowd to disperse, I'll talk to Trixie." At this Erza and the others set to work quickly exposing Trixie as a sham and con artist, saying that most items where fake and contained no magical power, at hearing his most of the crowd began to leave, while others stayed if only to throw abuse, and the odd tomato, at her. "Please no, these are all genuine, there from another world, I found them allover town last night and have never seen anything like them, honest," pleaded Trixie, but her pleas fell on deaf ears, as many ponies where more willing to listen to the princess, then a traveling con artist. "Trixie please these items could be dangerous you need to hand them over right now or somepony could get killed," said Twilight, gesturing towards the fiery trail that she had sent Natsu away with. But at this Trixie raised the other crystal she was holding and, doing exactly what she did last time, sent out a lightning bolt catching Twilight off guard causing her to fall into the hooves of Erza, who reacted just in time to catch her. "With these items I'm more powerful then a princess of Equestria, if you think I'd just hand them over your sourly mistaken," laughed Trixie as she waved the crystals around. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!" Yelled Natsu attempting to silence Trixie with a fire ball, all to no avail as she quickly erected a fire proof shield, however Natsu was quick to respond, he flue forward carried by his fire powered wings, only to be met by another blast from the red crystal she was holding, at this Natsu stopped, thinking she had him Trixie hit him harder with flames, until a strange gergling sound could be heard coming from within the inferno. "Oh man now this is more like it, I should eat fire lacrimas more often," Natsu said as he inhaled more and more fire, seeing him eating it Trixie quickly swung the fire lacrima off him, however as she did this she sent fire in the direction of several houses, which quickly caught ablaze. While distracted, Gray took advantage and quickly yelled... "ICE MAKE LANCE!!!!!" Sending out a vollie of ice spikes which riddled the stage around Trixie, causing her to louse concentration and drop the fire lacrima, so swinging the lightning lacrima round, she took aim at the white pony and sent out a bolt of lighting. However Erza was too quick requiring into light blue armor with gold trimming, a yellow ribbon held back her mane, now bradded like a pony tail, with two bows tied behind her ears, her wings came sticking out of the white and gold trim skirt she now wore, held in her magic was a large spear, with a large blade at one end and large circle, similar to a shield at the other, using this she deflected the lightning Trixie shot at Gary before charging up her own attack. "LIGHTNING EMPRESS: LIGHTNING BEAM!!!!" She yelled as a blue beam of lighting shot out of the end of her spear, overloading the lacrima causing it to explode, sending small shards into Trixie's face, when she regained her focus she noticed a bright orange figure was speeding towards her. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!!!!!!" Natsu yelled as a blazing hoof connected with the side of Trixie's face, sending her cartwheeling into her own wagon splintering it to pieces, now Trixie was down and out. "All right, we did it" said Natsu. "Yes but... HALF THE TOWNS ON FIRE!!!!" Yelled nearby pony. "No problem, grubs up, right Happy?" "Aye." As Erza turned to Lucy she noticed she was staring at the pile of objects from their world, a rather concerned look on her face. "Lucy what's wrong." "I was just thinking if all this came from our world, then do you think any people made it through?" "Well from the looks of it those circles only look big enough to bring forth small items, however it is a possibility, one we must be carful of in the future, who knows what could turn up." "What where am I? What is this place? So dark, so cold, is this my new hell?" A startled, depressed voice said through the darkness. "So you finally awaken," a deep and sinister voice said back. "Who are you? What do you want?" "Nothing more than to understand you, you are brimming with dark magic, more so than myself, but it is a kind I have never experienced anywhere in Equestria." "What? Whe- where have you brought me?" "Me personally nowhere, you appeared in a flash of gold light." "Then, what, how?" "I know you must have a lot of questions, I do as well, but how about we start with introductions, I am king Sombra former and soon to be ruler of the crystal empire." The startled voice went silent for a while before uttering a single word... "Zeref." > New home, new experience > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of Ponyville had been rebuilt in the few days that followed the hydra attack and after the events at Appalosa, the princesses had granted the members of Fairy Tail to set up a guild hall in ponyville, after a long apology for all the mindless destruction they caused, but they had said yes so it was time to make a new home in ponyland. As they looked around the seventh building the housing pony had show them that day two thoughts occered, one ponies work dame fast, and two this place was perfect. "As you can see it has two floors, the second being completely reidential, working bathroom and, as this used to be a restaurant, it has a full working bar and kitchen," said Real Estate, introducing the four strange ponies, and one talking cat, to yet another building. "As you can see it has taken some damage, due to recent events, but the general structure has held up nicely," she continued patting a beam with her hoof, causing a lump of wood to fall down. "Yep, this is perfect," said Erza Turing to the rest of the group, "well it looks like we have our guild hall." "Well alright," said Gray. "You know with a little work, this place could look just like the guild back home," replied Lucy. "I don't like it," said Natsu sitting in the doorway. "Comeone Natsu, what's the matter," said Happy flying next to him. "I don't like change." "Incase you haven't noticed we are ponies, I would call that a bigger change than a new home, so suck it up," said Erza staring him down. "Sorry about him," she said, returning to the sales pony, "we'll take it." "Perfect," squeaked Real Estate, "now there's a very affordable payment scheme, specifically to help non working ponies, however this adds just a little more to the price, then there's overheads, loan fees and this building is owner controlled by Filthy Rich so..." She trailed off as Erza handed her a piece of paper. "By royal decree of princess Celestia, Luna and Twilight, any available property, as so disiered by the Fairy Tail guild, is to be handed over to said individuals apon presentation of this letter, covering all building and renovation costs at true value, any complaints can be pesendet to any of the princesses at a later date." Real Estate read aloud. Apon finishing the letter, a now sour expression on her face, Real Estate handed over the keys and left with a "tist" slamming the door behind her. "What was her prob...eeep," said Lucy as another bit of roof fell in front of her. "First things first, let's get this place fixed before it falls over," said Gray. "Hay everypony, how's it going," said Twilight as her and her friends stood watching the ponies work. "Not bad, not bad," said Lucy greeting the group with a glum expression. "What's the matter sugarcube, if y'all need help with anything, don't hesitant to ask," said Applejack. "Actually we could use a hand," said Erza joining them. "A what?" the group asked puzzled. "Never mind... Any help will be appreciated, if fact..." "HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO USE THESE IF I CAN'T HOLD THEM?!!!!!!" Yelled Natsu slamming his hoof into the tool box. "It ok Natsu, I'll just... Ah... Ah... Ow," said Happy picking out hammer, before fumbling backwards, hitting himself in the head. "...Can you show us how ponies build anything, when they can't grip, anything?" Asked Erza, a look of defeat on her face as she looked at what was now her greatest enemy, the tool box. "Ok don't worry..." said Twilight, Lighting up her horn, "I'll have this placed fixed in no time," Quickly Twilight set to work, using her magic to replace several of the old wood pillers, before nailing them into place, the others could only watch in awe as she quickly replaced the first set of pillars, leaving the four to only wonder what they where doing wrong. "That was so cool, how'd you do that?" asked Natsu and Happy. "Oh it nothing just a spell I know," said Twilight, blushing at there praise. "Marvellous work darling, now that just leaves the decor, I reckon I could make some absolutely fabulous decorations for..." Rarity began but was swiftly cut off by a energetic pink blur yelling... "THE PARTY!!!!!" "Pinky Pie darling, what are you talking ab..." "Well since there new here, I need to throw them a welcome-to-Equestria party and since they saved ponyville from that hydra they need a thanks-for-saving-ponyville-from-a-monster party, oh and since the three days they've been here, I haven't thrown them a party, so they also need a sorry-for-not-throwing-you-a-party party, that's three parties in one, now that's a tall order even for me," She finished with a huge smile. "Well... Er... You know... Er... Pinky, if you need help I'd..." said Fluttershy nervously before being grabbed round the neck by Pinky. "Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, ok we're going to need balloons, ribbons and no party is a party without cake," said Pinky, as she ran off, still holding Fluttershy round the neck. "Ok," said Lucy "well I guess I could go into town and get a few things to furnish this place," "I'd be happy to show ya round town, I'll help ya find what y'all need," said AppleJack, putting a foreleg round her neck. "Right then, that just leaves these t..." Erza stared, before... "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!!!!!" yelled Natsu slamming his fist into one of the pillars. "ICE MAKE HAMMER!!!!!" Gray yelled as a giant hammer of ice crashed into another pillar. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOUR DOING!!!!" Erza screamed as the two pillars crashed down around everypony. "Well we saw twilight use her magic so..." "...We thought we'd use ours," "You two, I swear I'm gunna..." Before she could finish, Erza felt a tap on her shoulder. "You know I could use a hand with the decoration for the hall, if you want I could take Gray with me, seeing as he's the creative one and all," offered Rarity, smiling nervously, element of generosity she may be, but after seeing what these ponies can do she was more than a little worried. "Perfect, thank you," said Erza, grabbing Gray, and shoving both him and Rarity out the door, "now that just leaves..." "Allright, I'll hit the next one harder," said Natsu jumping into the air, hoof ablaze, bearing down on the next beam before being snatched out of the air by Twilight's magic. "What to do with him," pondered Twilight "I know, Rainbow Dash" as she turned to her friend who was now sneaking out the door. "Who me, I don't know Twilight, I mean, I'm a little behind on weather duty and you know, the sky's don't clear themselves so..." "Perfect, take him with you, up there the only thing he can destroy is the clouds," Twilight said hastily throwing Natsu out the door, sending Ranbow Dash with him. "Hay Natsu, wait up," yelled Happy Following them out the door. "So, shall we get started," as Twilight grabbed some tools and set to work. "Wow, so as alicorns we have the traits of all three pony races, heighten to an incredible level," "More or less, that's why alicorns are so few and the ponies who are, are seen as princesses, with each being embodying a different magic," Twilight explained to Erza as they worked, she had so many questions and, as always, Twilight was happy to help out a new friend. "So how many alicorns are there," "Four including me, five now with you, I still don't understand how you became an alicorn, you must be somepony incredibly powerful where you come from," "Well I wouldn't say that, yes I'm strong, but without Fairy Tail, I wouldn't have anyone to stand beside and fight for," "Anypony, you mean," "Sorry, still getting use to the language, and the wings, and the horn, and well everything really," "You know I've got some books on alicorns, if you like you'd be welcome to borrow them, they might help you gain insight into the alicorn race," "That would be most helpful, thank you Twilight," she said pulling her into a hug, banging her head against her chest plate. "No problem," said Twilight, rubbing her head as she walked over to her saddle bags. "Ok, I've got alicorn physiology and alicorns a brief history," at this she lifted two old books into the air and dropped them in Erza's lap, "they make great light reading, I remember first time I became princess I read all these books on alicorns, governing and even a copy of ruling Equestria for dummies, for me thou it was the physical changes that got me the most, the wings, the new strength, it was just such a shock at first, but after I got these books it really help me understand my new body and new..." "Er Twilight..." said Erza, cutting Twilight off. "Yes Erza," "Finished," "What, but how, what how," she said grabbing Erza by the collar "Easy there Twilight," Erza replied calmly. "But how did you read thouse books so fast, I read every day and even I'm not that fast," "Here," Erza offered her a set of reading glasses, "gale-force reading glasses, try them on," With Twilight now wearing the glasses, she picked up the book and began to skim over each word getting faster and faster until she was just flicking through the pages yet it was as if every word was being magically transferred into her mind. "Wow," she exclaimed, "these are amazing and these are common in you world," "Sold in almost every magic shop in the country," "Do you think I could keep a pair?" She asked bashfully. "I don't see why not," "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, with this I could read all the books in the libury in no time," Twilight gleefully bounced around Erza, leaving her to wonder if she had just started something dangerous. "Gray darling, could you pass me that that fabric over there please," said Rarity, focusing intensely on her sewing machine. "This one," said Gray, pulling out a roll of gold fabric. "Ah perfect, with this I should have the last of the decorations done in no time," Rarity said happily as she worked. "So, tell me about yourself Gray," "What do you want to know?" "Well, your magic, just how did you create all those ice blocks," "I'm a ice maker wizard," he said smiling as he pointed his horn to the ground, letting out a icy blast, creating a cascade of ice that quickly took the form of a pony wearing a rather fancy dress, looking around Rarity saw that it was the same as a dress one of her mannequins where wearing, then she realised, he had perfectly replicated the mannequin and the dress it was wearing, right down to the last detail, out of crystal blue ice. "My word that is simply marvellous, it's perfect, this would make a great addition to the front of my shop," said Rarity, attempting to pick up the ice sculpture in her magic, only for the soft magical glow around it to quickly dissipate, "that's strange, I can't lift it." "It looks as if our magics cancel each other out," "Oh, such a shame, however will I display such a masterpiece now," "Why don't I make more out front," "That's a splendid idea but I couldn't ask you to do that for me," "Hay it's no problem really, after all your helping us so, gotta repay the favour," as Gray said this Rarity couldn't help but appreciate his generosity, as well as admire his helpfulness, giving him one last look, as he walked out to the front of the shop, she muttered... "Perhaps Fairy Tail has my knight in frozen armor," "Wait a minute, so what ya saying is that ya can use those keys to call on that, cow-thing whenever ya like," asked Applejack. "Pretty much," replied Lucy, "and it's not just him ether, I've got a bunch of different spirits that can do some pretty amazing things," The two had spent the best part of the day shopping, with AppleJack giving Lucy a guided tour of the town, showing her all the shops in town and helping her pick out her goods and the two where now heading for the hall. "It's a good thing ya had that note from the princess, or else ya'd have to work like crazy to get this much stuff," said Applejack, gesturing to the cart full of furniture and supplies the two now pulled between them. "Well considering we don't know much about this place, getting work would be real hassle," Lucy replied, before looking round at the other ponies around town letting out a sigh. "Something wrong sugarcube," "Wh, oh it's nothing, it's just, don't get me wrong I know I've only just gotten use to being a pony and all but, I guess compared to other ponies, Pegasus and unicorns I mean, I guess, I just feel kind of useless," "Hay now, ya'll listen here ok, being an earth pony ain't nothing to be ashamed of, just because we can't fly or do magic doesn't make us any less then ponies who can, yer we have to work harder then them sometimes, but that just make us stronger and makes our cutie marks more special," "Thanks Applejack," Lucy said smiling, but that smile was short lived, as the whole time they where talking, they where unaware that the dangerously full cart they where pulling was beginning to creek, meaning it was only a matter of time before... CRASH!!!! The entire cart was crushed under the wight of stuff, sending sofas and bottles rolling all over the place. "Aww horse apples," exclaimed Applejack, stomping her hoof, "how we gunna get this lot over to the guild hall," "Got it," said Lucy pulling out a golden key, "open gate of the maiden, Virgo," At this a soft gold light enveloped the ground and a white coated, pink maned pony came bursting out, spinning into the air before landing in front of the two, she was wearing a French maids outfit, with a set of shackles around her forelegs and the cutie mark of the virgo star constilation on her flank. "Greetings princess, do I require punishment," asked Virgo. "Please stop asking me that," said Lucy, clearly sick of that question, "hay, how come your a pony," "After Taurus returned to the spirit world, he quickly told all the others about your new pony look, so I'd thought you might like me to take one as well," "So everyone knows," panicked Lucy thinking about how her spirits would be laughing at her, especially Aquarius, "next time I see that perverted cow I'm gunna..." "Excuse me princess, but is there a reason you summoned me," "Wh, oh right, could you give us a.. Well hoof and get this stuff over to the new guild hall over there," she said pointing in the halls direction. "As you wish princess," said Virgo before vanishing into the ground taking the furniture and supplies with her, much to the surprise do Applejack. "Lucy are all ya key friends so... Strange?" Applejack asked nerviously. "No, no, Virgo's just... Actually, there all pretty strange," Lucy glumly answered, "ok, well, we best be getting back to the g..." Given no time to finish, both Lucy and Applejack where swept off their feet as fiery, multi-coloured shock wave few overhead. "Natsu, wait up," yelled Happy, struggling to keep up with his now fast flying friend. "Come on little buddy, this is a race," Natsu yelled back, flapping his wings harder and increasing the fames on his hoves, giving him a burst of speed. "Your never gunna catch the fastest flyer in Equestria," Rainbow dash taunted, flying just ahead of Natsu. After finishing up the weather duty, Natsu and Rainbow had gotten into an argument, manly due to Rainbow bragging, and the two had decided, with some persuasion from Happy, to race around Ponyville. Reacting to the taunt, Natsu flapped harder and harder, fire billowing out around him, as he pushed himself ahead of Rainbow Dash, however Rainbow was quick to respond, blowing a raspberry in his direction before dashing ahead. "Damn it," said Natsu, before looking over to see his little buddy struggling to keep up, so lifting him onto his back with a smile, "ready to show these ponies what a fairy tail wizard can do," "Aye sir," At this point Rainbow had a considerable lead on Natsu and Happy, not enough to make her slow down but, enough to merit a glance over her shoulder, only to be met with... "Out of the way, this is Happy's max speed," Natsu yelled in a blur, as he and Happy roared past her. Not willing to be beaten Rainbow double timed it to catch up, and soon was flying neck and neck with Natsu and Happy. "Natsu I can't hold on," yelled Happy over the roar of the wind. "Just a little more good buddy, we almost got her," He replied. "I... I... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" "HAPPY!!!!" yelled Natsu, as his friend was torn away, exhausted, now plummeting towards the ground. Quickly turning into a nose dive Natsu hurtled after him, flames billowing off his wings and hoofs in desperation to save his friend, then he felt the presents of a familiar pony, Rainbow Dash had abandoned her efforts of winning to help him save his friend. As the two plummeted towards the ground Natsu began to shake, his wings missing beats, as his flight patten became distorted, just before he joined Happy in a deadly free fall, Rainbow grabbed his hoofs, locking the two together tightly, looking towards her they locked eye, fire burning within them, as well as around them, as a vapour cone began to form, just as they caught up with Happy, they caught him in there interlocked hoofs and... KABOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! All of ponyville, and most of Equestria, was treated to the first Fire Dragon Rain Boom, as a wave of mulit coloured fire shot all over the town, tuning the sky into a blaze of mulit coloured light. As Rainbow looked back at the coloured fiery trail behind them, a overwhelming sence of pride ran through her, but as she looked at the smiling face of the pony locked in her hoofs, holding a cat between them, a whole new feeling came over her, one she had never felt before. That night only one thing could be heard across all of ponyville, the roaring music and overwhelming cheers coming from the new guild hall of the Equestrian branch of Fairy Tail, however the rabble soon went quiet as Mayor Mare took the stage outside the hall ready to make a speech. "It is with great pride that we, the citizens of ponyville, welcome our new friends from another world and unveil the newest addition to our town, the Fairy Tail guild, Equestria branch," said Mayor Mare as the five guild mates took there place on the stage, before a rope was pulled and the hall name and banner where unveiled. The large wooden plaque, that once held the restaurant name, had been replaced with the words 'Fairy Tail Equestria' in big scripted letters and a large red banner rolled down, obviously made by Rarity, which had the image of a rearing pony in white fabric, with the Fairy Tail guild mark as it's cutie mark in gold. Everyone stood in quiet awe of the new building and of the strange ponies that would be its owners, all accept an excitable Pinky Pie who had snuck her way on to the stage and announced... "Ok everypony, let's PARTY!!!!!!" And with that the party rumbled on.
