Hello dear readers! I am Shad, and this is my shitstorm of a story!

I own nothing except for the plot. All right go to Hiro Mashima and Co. Enjoy!

Set Sail!

"Captain!" a young boy shouted.

"Yes, Romeo?" the captain responded.

"When are we going to set sail?" the young boy asked excitedly.

"When my second and third in command get back," the Captain said back with a smile, "How about you go ahead and board the hip. Your father has already set up his quarters."

The little cabin boy nodded and ran off to find his father aboard the Fairy Tail.

Soon after his departure, two men came running towards the ship, while fighting each other. One had pink hair and the other was half naked.

"IT'S YOUR FAULT WE'RE LATE FLAMEBRAIN!"

"YOU WANNA GO ICE PRINCESS?!"

"NATSU, GRAY! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE BEFORE l ABANDON YOU!" the Captain shouted.

Natsu and Gray boarded the ship, still bickering mind you, and then half-heartedly apologized to their captain.

The captain sighed and boarded his lovely ship. His first in command gave him a look of understanding and motioned him forwards.

"Remind me, why did you recruit those two again?" his first in command, Laxus Dreyer, asked.

"Even I don't know at this point," Jellal said. "They're strong and loyal though, so as long as they don't destroy too much, I don't mind them"

Laxus grunted in agreement and the two headed to the quarter-deck.

Jellal placed his hands on the rail and looked out at his bustling crew as they hurried to ready the boat for a long voyage.

"MEN," JeIIaI announced. All eyes turned towards him and he took in a deep breath. "ONCE WE PASS THROUGH THESE WATERS, WE WILL BE ENTERING DANGEROUS TERRITORY. BOUNTY HUNTERS WILL BE AFTER OUR HEADS. THESE PEOPLE WON'T BE THE SAME AS THE MILITARY SOLDIERS OR THE WEAK BOUNTY HUNTERS THAT WE HAVE FACED BEFORE. THEY ARE ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. STAY ON GUARD, AT THE TOp OF YOUR GAME, AND VIGILANT AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONQUER THESE WATERS. IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THE DANGERS OF THE RED SEA, I SUGGEST YOU GET OFF THIS SHIP."

There were a couple mummers, but not one crew member budged.
Jellal smiled.

"I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING CREW ABOARD THE FAIRY TAIL! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FAMILY!

Jellal raised his arm, cape falling back from his shoulders showing his fairy tail insignia on his shoulder, and made a symbol with his hand. The rest of his pirate crew did the same.

"FAIRIES!" he yelled, "LET US SET SAIL AND CONQUER THIS NEW WORLD!''

Cheers erupted from the main deck. The anchor was pulled up out of the water, the sails unfurled, and the wind pushed the galleon away from the harbor. The crew started to feel the same sense of adventure and freedom that the sea always had to offer as the wind blew through their hair... Ok. Let's be honest here. This is the fucking Fairy Tail crew. Most of the people were already passing out from seasickness. Especially a certain second in command and the ship doctor.

Jellal facepalmed and sweatdropped, wondering again why he had recruited all of these idiots.

Off towards the left of the quarter-deck, Laxus was scolding Natsu and Gajeel for being too weak to defeat seasickness. They were too sick to respond.

Jellal turned and looked at the sea. He couldn't wait to get into the Red Sea. He could taste the adventure, and he sure was ready to take a bite of it.

After Laxus was done scolding (more like tormenting) Natsu and Gajeel, he walked toward Jellal with a smug look.

"There it is, man," Jellal said pointing to a canal separating the Red Sea from the Black Sea."

"Yeah," responded Laxus,"Do you think we'll meet the Scarlet Severer?"

"Most likely, I mean, our total bounty is well over 1,000 million jewels," Laxus said. The two leaned over the rail looking upon their vessel

"With mine at 500, yours at 200, Natsu at 100 along with Gray and Gajeel we do have a pretty big bounty." Jellal chuckled, amazed at the strength of his crew.

"You can't forget to factor in the girls' bounties," Laxus reminded him.

"Of course, I think they'd skin me alive if I ever even pretended to forget about them." The men chuckled as their eyes watched the great canal slowly near, the sense of adventure growing.
