Fairy Tail: Post Game

Chapter one: Magnolia Town's mayoral elections- Levy McGarden vs. Duke Everlue

It was a well enough day in the Fiore city of Magnolia Town, in the year X793. The mages of the mage guild Fairy Tail were milling about the main room of the guild hall as per normal. Over at one of the tables, guild members and friends Jet and Droy were talking to Alzack and Bisca Connell. "…Seriously, Alzack," Droy remarked in a tone that clearly conveyed jealousy, "How did you get back into shape so easily?"

"Well after me and Bisca's daughter said that I looked like Santa Claus, I sort of got the idea," Alzack remarked casually. After taking a sip of his drink, Alzack continued in a somewhat sheepish tone, "It wasn't all that much, though."

"Sorry, dear," Bisca remarked, "I didn't know it was that sensitive of an issue for you." Giving her husband a serious look that conveyed approval, Bisca continued, "Although I do have to admit that you made a spectacular turn around." Jerking a thumb at Jet and Droy, Bisca said to Alzack, "Show them your abs, dear."

Doing as his wife asked, Alzack stood up and lifted his shirt and poncho up, revealing chiseled six-pack abs. "…My word, you could grate meat on those," Jet remarked, clearly impressed with Alzack's newfound abs.

"…I hate you," Droy said in a mildly bitter tone as Alzack let his shirt and poncho back down before he sat back down.

"Well maybe you should look into losing some weight yourself," Alzack remarked to Droy, prompting the well-fed member of team Shadow Gear to slump in shame.

"Well in his defense," Jet began as he spoke to Alzack and Bisca, "The rest of us aren't exactly helping Droy feel encouraged. I mean, you two tease him about his weight, I've teased Droy about his weight, Levy's teased him about his weight a few times, and this is saying nothing about how brutally Gajeel's torn into Droy with the fat jokes."

"Fun fact," Droy said with a hint of defeat in his tone, "Pantherlily is the one who comes up with most of Gajeel's jokes that he uses to mock my weight."

"Well I-" Alzack began, but he was cut off when the front doors of the guild hall were thrown open, getting the attention of everyone currently in the guild hall. Everyone saw that a group of people were walking into the guild hall, but it was who was walking into the guild hall that had everyone surprised.

Natsu Dragneel. Gray Fullbuster. Erza Scarlet. Lucy Heartfilia. Wendy Marvell. Happy. Carla. The entirety of who many considered to be the strongest team that the Fairy Tail guild had to offer. Pumping both of his fists into the air, Natsu exclaimed in a clearly joyous tone, "Guess who's back, everyone!"

"You guys!" Bisca exclaimed in surprise as she and the others sitting at the table with her got up to head over and greet the returned team, "We thought that we'd never see you again, given that you all went on that hundred-year quest!"

"Hundred-year quest?" Erza repeated in a questioning tone. Pulling out a rather large sack that looked to contain something, Erza tossed it onto the floor, which made the sack make a noise suggesting that it was absolutely chock-full of jewel, both coin and paper form, the currency of Fiore. "More like two-month quest," Erza continued, "Seriously. Whoever sent that quest request to the guild must have severely overestimated the difficulty of the quest."

"That," Jet began, "Or, given what you guys are capable of, you were able to complete a hundred-year quest in about two months."

"Oh, Jet and Droy!" Lucy began as she turned her focus on the boys of team Shadow Gear, "I don't suppose you guys can tell me where Levy is, could you?"

"Oh, she took Gajeel and Pantherlily with her on a quest," Bisca said in place of Jet and Droy.

"Ooh," Lucy began in a knowing tone, "Levy took Gajeel with her on a quest? What are they doing, might I ask?"

With an indifferent shrug, Bisca said, "All I know is that the person who sent the request to the guild said something about wanting to stop a local religious group from carrying out a bunch of book burnings." With a gentle shake of her head, Bisca continued, "I have no idea when Levy, Gajeel and Pantherlily will be get-" At that moment, Bisca was cut off when the doors to the guild hall opened, prompting everyone to turn and see Levy McGarden and Gajeel Redfox walk into the guild hall; Pantherlily, in his chibi form, was flying in after Gajeel.

"Was killing all of the book burners really all that necessary?" Pantherlily asked in a tone that was somewhat casual but mostly confused.

"Yes," Levy replied in a confident tone, "Yes, it was. Besides, the client did say that we could do whatever we want to get the book burners to stop, so long as we got them to stop."

"I'm still surprised that you have a spell like that, Shorty," Gajeel remarked, his tone sounding a mix of mostly impressed but a little alarmed, "Remind me never to get on your bad side."

"Levy!" Lucy called out upon seeing her best friend return. Hearing someone call out for her, Levy looked over, and eventually spotted Lucy.

"Lu-chan!" Levy called back as she and Lucy ran up to each other, threw their arms around each other, and spun around a bit as they hugged. As the two girls hugged each other, Gajeel and Pantherlily came walking up.

"…I don't have to hug Salamander like that, do I?" Gajeel asked.

"Yeah no," Natsu remarked to his fellow Dragon Slayer, "That won't be necessary, Gajeel."

"Wait a minute," Gajeel began, "Weren't you guys supposed to be gone forever on some hundred-year quest?"

"The client must have severely overestimated the severity of the request that he sent us," Erza explained, "As such, the others and I were able to complete the quote unquote 'hundred-year quest' in about two months."

After he looked at Erza and her teammates for a few seconds, Gajeel gave an indifferent shrug. "Meh," Gajeel remarked, "Not all that surprising, given what you guys are capable of."

And so, Natsu and his team, with their friends along with them, settled back into the life of being a Fairy Tail mage. "Oh, I wish I was here when you accepted that quest to stop the book burners," Lucy said to Levy as everyone hung out, "I totally would have been glad to back you up on that one."

A few days later, Natsu, Gray, Happy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Wendy, Carla, Alzack, Bisca, Jet and Droy all sat around as they listened to Erza tell a story of a job that she went on some time ago. "And so," Erza said as she was wrapping up her story, "With a mix of some minor illusion magic that I know, combined with my SUPERIOR ACTING SKILLS, I was able to trick that pirate into thinking that he killed me." After taking a sip from her mug of whatever she was drinking, Erza said, "With the seventeenth time that I faked my death out of the way, I was able to accomplish my true objective, which was-"

"This is terrible!" Lucy's voice exclaimed as the Celestial Spirit mage barged into the guild hall, holding a rolled-up newspaper.

"Hmm?" Natsu said as he looked over, "What's wrong, Lucy?" In response to Natsu's question, Lucy slammed the newspaper she was carrying down onto the table at which everyone sat, then unrolled it.

Pointing to a front-page article, Lucy said, "This is what's wrong, Natsu! Duke Everlue is running for mayor of Magnolia Town!"

"Who?" Natsu asked, a clearly confused look on the Fire Dragon Slayer's face.

"You don't remember?" Lucy asked, "Come on, Natsu! Duke Everlue was the man we had to deal with on the very first job that we went on! Everlue was that fat, ugly, conceited corrupt politician that kidnapped Kemu Zaleon so that he could force him to write that book to inflate his ego! Everlue is the worst!"

"I…still don't know what you're talking about," Natsu admitted, sounding a bit embarrassed.

Sighing in a resigned and knowing tone, Lucy put her hands together to make a ninja hand sign while saying, "Nin-nin."

"Oh!" Natsu said in a tone that conveyed that he suddenly remembered everything that Lucy was talking about, "Now I remember what you're talking about!"

"Wait a minute," Gray began in a mildly confused tone, "Wasn't Everlue supposed to be in jail or something like that?"

"He got out, Gray," Lucy explained, "And now he's trying to reestablish a political career for himself."

"So, what can we do about it?" Happy asked.

"How about a member of Fairy Tail run for mayor against Everlue?" Bisca suggested.

"…One of us?" Erza remarked as she and the others all turned to face Bisca.

"I mean, think about it," Bisca began to explain, "In order to qualify as a possible canidate to be Magnolia Town's mayor, all one has to have is to be a natural born citizen of Fiore, along with having lived in Magnolia Town for at least ten years and be at least eighteen years of age." Gesturing to the guild hall around her and the others, Bisca said, "That covers pretty much most of the members of Fairy Tail, even those who were gone for seven years."

"That…is actually a very good point," Erza remarked as she considered what Bisca said, "Alright, one of us here in Fairy Tail will run for the position of Mayor of Magnolia Town against Duke Everlue. All we need to do now is figure out who to get to do that."

"Our choice of person to run against Everlue will have to be very knowledgeable, as dumb politicians tend to make things crash and burn into the ground very fast," Alzack remarked, "Our choice will also have to be visually appealing as well, as a lot of people tend to be swayed to the side of a pretty face that's running against someone's who's butt-ugly."

"Heh," Gajeel chuckled in a self-amused tone, "I guess that with both of those requirements, Salamander is automatically disqualified, then."

"Screw you, Gajeel!" Natsu snapped angrily at the Iron Dragon Slayer.

As everyone considered who Fairy Tail could use as a canidate to run against Duke Everlue, Lucy said, "Aha! I got it! I know someone who's both smart and pretty!"

"Now's not the time to be delusional about yourself, Lucy," Gray remarked.

"I'll get you back for that later, Gray," Lucy said in a mildly annoyed tone, "And for your information, I wasn't thinking about myself." Pointing dramatically at the group as a whole, Lucy declared, "I say we should get Levy elected as mayor!"

"Why Levy?" Natsu asked in a mildly curious tone.

"Think about it," Lucy began, "Levy has got to be the smartest member of Fairy Tail, not to mention the fact that she's absolutely adorable. She'd be perfect as Magnolia Town's mayor!"

After Lucy was done explaining herself, everyone that was sitting at the table turned to look to each other. After a few seconds, everyone turned back around to face Lucy. "Alright, Blondie," Gajeel remarked, "If Shorty's okay with the idea, then we'll go for it. Although personally, I can't imagine her being comfortable running for a political office. She's kind of shy like that."

"Which is why some other members of Fairy Tail," Lucy explained, "Meaning us, will act as Levy's back-up and security."

"Yes, yes," Wendy said as she liked what Lucy was saying, "And Gajeel can be Levy's head of security." With a knowing look on her face, Wendy said before taking a sip of her juice, "This is a very good idea."

Giving Wendy a look of mild disbelief, Gray said, "Geez, Wendy. You're almost as bad as Erza when it comes to me and Juvia."

Later, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Gajeel, Happy and Pantherlily were talking with Levy about her running for Mayor of Magnolia Town against Duke Everlue. "WAAA?!" Levy exclaimed in a confused and panicked tone, "You guys want me to do what?!"

"Come on, Levy," Lucy said in a near-begging tone, "You'd be perfect for the job! We can't really imagine anyone more qualified to be the mayor of Magnolia Town!"

"Besides, if anyone gives you trouble, your security will deal with them," Erza pointed out.

"My security?" Levy repeated in a confused tone.

"You're going to be running for a political office," Erza clarified, "As such, you'll be needing a security detail to protect you."

"…Who do you have lined up for the job so far?" Levy asked, a mild hint of apprehension in her tone.

"Well there's me," Erza began as she listed off names off the tips of her fingers, "We also got Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Lucy, Bisca, Alzack, Juvia, Elfman, Lisanna, Happy, Pantherlily…"

"Bickslow said that he'd like to sign up for a spot on your security team if he can get the okay from Laxus to do so," Natsu stated as he held up an index finger in a gesture to convey that he was pointing something out.

"And this is saying nothing of how Fairy Tail as a whole will have your back on this, Shorty," Gajeel said in a reassuring tone as he ruffled the top of Levy's head, "Relax. You can do this."

"Umm…" Levy remarked, her tone showing that she was still nervous about what was going on, "…Well, if you all are going to help me, then I suppose that I'll give it a go."

"Alright, everyone!" Natsu cheered as he pumped a fist into the air, "Magnolia Town is about to have its first mayor from Fairy Tail!" Everyone else also cheered as they pumped fists into the air. Levy, despite being nervous about running for mayor, was flattered by all the support that she was getting.

A short while later, a fair percentage of Magnolia Town's population showed up to a mayoral debate between the candidates running for the position of Magnolia Town's mayor; Duke Everlue and Levy McGarden. "Alright everyone," the debate moderator announced, "We'll begin the debate between candidates Everlue and McGarden by having members of the audience ask the candidates questions."

"Yeah, I have a question for Everlue," Gajeel said as he stood up, "Do you have any plan to protect Magnolia Town from events such as if mage guilds from outside of the city try to come in and raise hell? As a concerned citizen of Magnolia Town, I would not like it if some jerk mage from a guild outside of Magnolia Town were to come in and bully members of Fairy Tail."

"I do, in fact, have a plan to ensure the safety of our fair city," Everlue remarked. Clearing his throat, Everlue said, "I'm going to have a wall built around Magnolia Town."

"A…wall," Natsu said as he stood up, both his tone and expression clearly conveying disbelief and doubt.

"With a wall around Magnolia Town keeping bad things out, Magnolia Town will be safe from any and all hostility," Everlue explained, "I mean, who won't the wall be able to keep out of Magnolia Town, I ask you?"

"Most mages?" Erza replied as she stood up, "I mean, there is a wide variety of magic that would let one get around this supposed wall. Mages could tunnel under the wall, fly over it, phase through it, blast a hole through it and simply walk through, teleport to behind the wall and appear within the city proper…did you not, in all of your wall planning, consider the possibility that a mage may try to force their way into Magnolia Town?"

"You forgot that a fair percentage of Fiore's population can use magic, didn't you?" Gray asked as he stood up. As Everlue struggled to come up with an answer, another member of the audience stood up.

"I have a question for candidate McGarden," said the audience member who stood up, "What is your response to your opponent's plan for ensuring Magnolia Town's safety?"

Turning to face Everlue, Levy gave her best deadpan look as she said, "Sie sind das Essen und Wir sind die Jager." Everlue, not understanding what Levy had just said, could only look at her with a blank look of confusion.

Later, Gray, along with Juvia Lockser, were walking along Strawberry Street, hanging up some campaign posters for Levy's efforts in becoming Magnolia Town's mayor. "I still think that you'd be better for the role of mayor, Gray-sama," Juvia remarked.

"Thanks for the flattery, but the world of politics isn't my cup of tea," Gray said, "Hell, the others and I had to convince Levy into going along with the plan." Shaking his head gently, Gray said, "Only a complete and total idiot would willingly want to run for office without needing to be encouraged to do so. Hence why Levy has to deal with Everlue."

"…Does the status of 'complete and total idiot' also apply to Natsu?" Juvia asked.

"Ha!" Gray laughed in a clearly amused tone, "It totally does, Juvia! That was a good one!" Gray then offered Juvia a high-five, which the water mage accepted, clearly bashful but very happy that the man of her dreams was giving her words of praise. After the high five, Gray and Juvia went back to hanging campaign posters. "Hey Juvia, I have a question," Gray began in a mildly curious tone.

"What is it, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked.

"Why did we cover the entirety to the front of Lucy's apartment building with the campaign posters?" Gray asked, "I mean, weren't we supposed to post them on buildings all along Strawberry Street?"

"I…was under the impression that we were supposed to do that," Juvia replied, "I mean, aren't we using Lucy's apartment as the campaign headquarters?"

"We are, but don't tell Lucy that," Gray replied as he posted another poster over Lucy's door, "She doesn't know yet." Nodding in agreement, Juvia proceeded to help Gray hang more posters all over Lucy's apartment building.

"Lucy is trying to steal Gray-sama from me," Juvia thought in a murderous tone, "I will not allow that to happen."

At an assembly the following day, a fair percentage of Magnolia Town's population showed up in front of a large building in Magnolia Town. "Fellow citizens," Everlue began, "Today is the first day of the rest of your lives! From here on out, change will come to Magnolia Town!"

"Oh, so that means your face will cease to be the stuff of nightmares, then?" Gajeel, who was accompanied by Pantherlily, shouted from somewhere within the crowd of gathered Magnolia Town citizens, prompting a fair percentage of the crowd to burst out laughing.

"No, no, no," Everlue said. Gesturing to the building behind him, Everlue continued, "Starting this moment, construction of the Magnolia Town wall will commence! The wall will be as tall as the highest point of this building behind me!" After hearing Everlue's declaration, people in the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Hold the phone there, Skippy," Natsu, who was accompanied by Happy, said from the crowd, "Are you sure that starting on one of your promises before you're even elected is the best idea in the world?"

"He's got a point," Gray remarked at Everlue, "This is bound to go over poorly with the voters. If I were you, which I'm glad I'm not, then I'd at least wait until after I'm elected."

"Well why should I wait?" Everlue remarked, "I mean, I'm certainly rich enough to afford it, and if I give what I promise now, then the people will know I'm serious."

"If by 'serious' you mean 'seriously deluded', then that would be right on the money," Erza said from the crowd as she pointed at Everlue, "Seriously. Jumping the gun is never a good idea."

"Oh please," Everlue said in a dismissive tone, "I'm pretty sure I'm know what I'm doing. And if I am wrong, then-" Everlue was cut off by a loud rumbling sound that came from behind him, making him turn around and making the crowd look up to see what was going on. As such, they saw a gargantuan, shadowy figure emerge from behind the building that the assembly was taking place outside of. The sudden appearance of this being frightened most of the crowd; only members of Fairy Tail were not worried in the least.

The large being reached down, grabbed Everlue in just one of its massive hands, then picked him up. Raising the hand that held Everlue back, the large being chucked Everlue into the distance with such force that he disappeared clear into the horizon while shouting, "I was going to say may a bolt of lightning strike me down but this works toooooooooooooooooooo…"

After watching Everlue disappear into the horizon, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Gajeel, Happy and Pantherlily all turned to face each other. "…Dude, Mirajane's got one hell of a throwing arm," Gray remarked in a clearly impressed tone, "Why did the master teach her how to achieve that particular transformation?" The others could only stare at Gray, as they had no idea either.

Two days later, Levy was sitting in an office in a government building in Magnolia Town. Helping Levy set up the room was Lucy, Juvia and Lisanna. "So, Levy," Lucy began in a cheerful tone, "How does it feel to be the new mayor of Magnolia Town?"

"I have no idea what I'm doing," Levy replied honestly.

"That means you'll make for a perfect politician!" Lisanna remarked as she straightened a painting that was hanging in the office.

"I think that as your first act as mayor, you should make it illegal for Lucy to go after Gray-sama," Juvia said to Levy.

"For the last time, I have no interest in Gray like that, Juvia!" Lucy nearly exclaimed. Turning to face Levy, Lucy said, "Levy, please help me set the record straight with Juvia."

"…" Levy only stared at Lucy with a mild amount of suspicion for a few seconds before she said, "…Can I first get your complete and total assurance that you aren't interest in Gajeel like that either?"

"Not you too!" Lucy exclaimed, shocked with what she was hearing.

END, CHAPTER ONE

Author's notes:

…Well, this is my first go at writing a Fairy Tail story. Just so that we're absolutely clear, I only included the bits about a wall because I wanted to make an AoT reference or two. Anywho, I have no idea how well this chapter will go over; only time will tell. If I do get enough positive feedback on this, then I'll consider continuing with this story.

Have a good day.
