Hello all

So Fairy Tail has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long while (although I don't read the books, just the english dubbed cartoons) and this summer I decided to re-watch it and actually decided to write about the OC i've been thinking about/ drawing for the past couple of years. I hope you all have fun reading this because I've had a lot of fun writing this, and I'll try to stay on top of updating as much as I can. Reviews always help writers block and that way I'll also know what works and what doesn't.

Anywho, enjoy!

Chapter 1:

"I don't have time for this."

"Hands off, asshat!"

Laxus ignored the girl's protests as he slung her over his shoulder. He let out a soft grunt as she began to kick wildly and scream. People looked over in concern at the scene, and the Fairy Tail wizard tried to give a friendly smile to assure everyone that everything was fine. It must've come off as a snarl of some sort because people began to back away with fear in their eyes. Oh well, close enough. Laxus blamed the enhanced canines that came with being a dragon slayer. At least it got people out of his way for now.

The last thing he needed was a mob and this girl escaping yet again. He tried to move as quickly as he could away from the masses but for some reason, his lightning transportation wasn't working. It was like he couldn't concentrate his magic energy enough to create the form of magic. He needed to have better focus- but at the moment, moving as quickly as possible was most important. It seemed that on foot was the best option because there was absolutely no fucking way he would get in a vehicle. His heavy steps echoes on the streets and the townspeople backed away and stared at the scene unfolding.

It was a beautiful sunny day in the little harbor of Edera, and that peace was absolutely destroyed by the screaming, fully armed, and fully grown woman over his shoulder.

"Put me down now! Someone, anyone help! Help!"

Her fists pounded at Laxus's back and the ridiculously long sword that was strapped across her back hit Laxus's ear in the most annoying way possible. Laxus grit his teeth and electricity began to crackle off his feet as he stomped toward the quiet part of town with the rundown inn. She didn't stop struggling against him, trying to twist, kick, or hit her way off his back.

Finally, a well placed kick hit him in just the right spot on his ribs and he lurched forward. Laxus stopped, gathered himself and exhaled audibly, trying to maintain composure at this truly insufferable situation.

The girl's butt was perched on his shoulder and her torso hung down on his backside. His arm was wrapped around the back of her knees, and at his sudden pause, she tried to twist and swing her torso up to grab him by the back of the neck.

Laxus growled and grabbed her kicking legs and sent a current of electricity through her body. She cried out and slumped downward, spewing out more expletives as her body went slack from the electric shock.

Laxus patted her calf and said between clenched teeth, "You can come quietly, guttersnipe, or you can continue to test my patience. You're not needed alive, you know."

"Bullshit," she responded, but did not offer any more resistance. Satisfied, Laxus resumed his brisk walk to the inn. The sword pommel still hit him on the back of the head, but it was still a vast improvement from before. The girl was silent and hung limply on his shoulder. He appreciated the silence, and quickly arrived at the inn thanks to her compliance.

—Two Days Ago—

"Laxus, please."

"Why can't you send someone else?" He heard the whine in his voice, but he truly didn't have time to waste on a simple, tedious job like this. Laxus was practicing his magic in a dried river's gorge, sweating under the hot sun, when the emergency communications lacrima went off in his bag. He thought maybe something important happened, something so dire he needed to get back to Magnolia immediately. Instead, it was the same old Fairy Tail mess, but Mirajane was making him clean it up.

He was a god damn Dragon Slayer (god damn it) and an S Class Wizard and should not be subject to menial jobs such as this one. He had better things to do with his time; he needed to train for the Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail owing money to someone? Nothing new about that. He had bigger problems to worry about, like mastering his new Dragon Slayer Secret Art.

"Because we need someone with a Dragon Slayer's sense of smell. Wendy and Natsu have disappeared, and Gajeel is on the other end of Fiore. You're less than half a day's journey to Edera!"

The blonde mage wanted to make a scathing remark that Mira was the one contacting him, not his grandfather, but he bit his tongue. Instead, he asked: "Why can't you just have Gramps write an apology note and say we'll pay the 400,000 jules after we win the Grand Magic Games?"

The white haired wizard narrowed her eyes slightly, a look that meant she was much angrier than she let on. Laxus ducked his head, "Right. I'm sorry, I don't understand the situatation. Why don't they charge whichever wizard messed up?"

"Because no one in Fairy Tail took the job."

Laxus's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

"A wizard who called themselves Mavis took a job from the Royal House of Imperico,

they ended up taking their money and stealing from them."

Clouds started to gather overhead. Laxus's brow furrowed and he clenched his fists.

"Mavis?" He echoed; his entire body was tense at the thought of someone disrespecting their guild like that.

"The Master was also taken into custody until the 400,000 jules are returned (which we don't have), or this wizard is captured! You have three days before Master Makerov's goes to trial for theft and bankruptcy." There was a loud thud behind her, and Mira glanced over her shoulder. Laxus realized she was in a closet somewhere, away from prying ears. He narrowed his eyes.

"There's no way it would stand in court."

"But the seven year debt we've amassed will. We've been trying to keep a low profile and slowly pay off our debt, but if the Master goes to court, the guild may have to declare bankruptcy and shut down."

Laxus's jaw twitched. "How much debt is there?"

Mirajane's eyes were sad, and her face dropped. The usually perky expression was now replaced with a worried, tired one. She shook her head. "I haven't even calculated it fully yet."

Laxus was silent.

The sun was hot, and slow rolling beads of sweat dripped down the back of his neck as he processed the information the white haired wizard delivered him. It made him angrier the longer he thought about it, and electricity began to dance off his forearms and fingertips. He looked down at the ground and glared, bringing his temper back under control.

"Three days, eh?"

"You'll do it?" Mirajane was back to her happy self, but Laxus heard the slight disbelief in her voice. He looked up, and stared into the lacrima.

"Of course." Laxus's mouth tightened and his tattoo tingled as he declared, "No one disrespects Fairy Tail like that and get's away with it."

— Currently—

Laxus was beginning to open the door to the inn, woman over his shoulder, and

when his ass was suddenly, very aggressively squeezed. He straightened and began to spin around in surprise, spluttering an expletive. The girl snickered. During his brief loss of concentration, his grip loosened around the back of her legs. The woman used that lapse to her advantage and swung her two feet into his side. He grunted at the powerful blow and stumbled into the stone wall of the inn.

She slithered off his back and landed on her hands; she did a back hand spring and softly landed on her feet.

"Damn it!" Laxus cursed and spun to face the slender woman. She was already running back down the street, screaming for help about a madman.

Laxus's expression darkened as a slow, burning hatred boiled in his stomach. He sucked in a breath and felt the ether nano enter his blood stream. He yelled, "Lightning Dragon Roar!" but only a puff of lightning escaped his mouth- probably belonging to the ether nano he just absorbed. That wizard tried it again with the same frustrating result.

That little bitch must've quietly drained him of magic energy.

Laxus let out a low growl and began running after her. The sun beat down and sweat gathered beneath his thick grey cloak. The pungent smells of fish, seaweed, livestock, and overwhelming masses of humans flooded his nostrils, but the only scent he cared about belonged to that woman he needed to apprehend.

He turned the block and arrived at the bustling port once again. Laxus scanned his surroundings and inhaled deeply. The smell of leather mixed with cinnamon shampoo reached his nostrils and he snapped his head in the direction of the scent.

Shit.

The woman's blonde ponytail flashed on the deck of a ship and his stomach dropped. There's no way he could keep his breakfast on that vessel, or his dignity. Despite the nausea he experienced just looking at the ship, Laxus grit his teeth and began pushing his way toward the end of the dock. Just as he arrived at the edge, his stomach dropped further to see the ship had casted away all lines and had begun to sail out of the harbor; there was already 30 feet of water between Laxus and the stern of the boat. The wind blew in its favor, out to sea, and as the seconds stretched on, more and more distance fell between him and the boat.

People were waving at the departing vessel, and Laxus stared at the ship in disbelief. How had he failed? Gramps needed him and he let him down. Laxus closed his eyes and tried to feel if his magic energy had come back yet. Nothing. He looked toward the water and considered swimming- he felt fine physically, after all- and then looked back up at the boat, which was even farther away now.

The crowd on the stern of the boat parted slightly as the blond woman pushed her way to the front. Laxus's eyes widened as he met her gaze. She gave a big wave and smiled. Then she held up a small, gold ball that sparkled in the light and winked. The Morphos Lacrima.

She had it this entire time.

— One Day Ago —

"The Morphos Lacrima is an incredibly rare and incredibly valuable type of lacrima, you know. It stores Magic Energy, and it can be repurposed in any way the user deems fit." Ximus, an advisor to the Royal House of Imperico informed Laxus. They walked through the high ceilinged halls of Euphorbia Castle, where paintings, statues, and gilded scaffolding (things on ceiling of wall that are like embellishments) decorated the walls. Guards were posted every twenty feet or so, dressed in head to toe chainmail and polished gold and blue armor. Laxus wondered why these highborn used as much security as the king of Fiore, but he bit his tongue.

Instead, he looked at the navy robed advisor next to him and stated: "That sounds like every type of lacrima."

Ximus gave him a dark look and folded his arms. "This lacrima takes magic power. The lacrimas used in Phantom Lord's Jupiter Cannon were modeled after this type. Not only does it gather ether-nano from the air, but if a spell is cast in front of it, it can absorb that spell. You can use it to power anything."

Laxus narrowed his eyes, "That sounds like it should belong to the Wizard Counsel, not a small Royal House."

"Well it certainly shouldn't be in the hands of a thieving Fairy."

The wizard grit his teeth and resisted the urge to punch Ximus in his hooked nose. He made no comment, and the advisor smirked.

"Mavis took a job to help us find another lacrima- she claimed to have a special connection to them." He gave a short laugh and glared at Laxus, "We paid her for a fake lacrima. If you bring us the real Morphos Lacrima, Mavis, or 400,000 jules the debt will be considered paid. Bring us both, and we'll pay you the 400,000."

"How'd she fool you with a fake lacrima? It sounds like it'd be pretty distinct to me."

Ximus's eyes narrowed and he glared at Laxus. His angry expression- lowered eyebrows, narrowed eyes, and taut mouth- must've been terrifying to most. But Laxus thought his gaunt cheekbones and thin lips made him look more like a hairless cat. The advisor reached inside his robe and brought out a small gold orb. He tossed it at Laxus, who held it up and looked at the lacrima. It was gold and emitted a soft light. There was also a faint scent still on it- something that smelled feminine, with cinnamon and leather. He sniffed a little deeper, trying to commit it to memory.

"This looks exactly like the Morphos Lacrima. Size, weight, color, everything's the same. We only found out it was fake when we tried to power something up." Ximus puffed his chest up defensively.

Laxus rolled his eyes and tossed the orb back to the regally dressed advisor, who struggled to catch the object. The Fairy Tail wizard inhaled again, committing the scent to memory.

"Whatever. I'll make sure to track down the imposter. Who knows, maybe I'll even get you the Morphos Lacrima for kicks."

— Currently —

Laxus's expression darkened and he clenched his fists. The waves crashed beneath the dock and wind whipped at his back, favoring the departing boat. Anger began to pump through his veins and a low growl erupted from his chest. A rush of magic energy flooded his body as he realized that she was not only escaping, but, rather, she was escaping with everything. Clouds began to form overhead and block out the hot sun. A crack of lightning filled the air and people began to scream.

The girl was not smiling anymore; she began to back away. Laxus grinned and disappeared in a flash of lightning. He saw her begin to run to the covered cabins; he knew he only had one shot. He touched down inches before her, and she slammed into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and summoned another lightning bolt before his stomach could realize he was on a boat.

"You're coming with me, guttersnipe."

Laxus and the girl were yanked into the air and she began to yell again. Just touching her for a few seconds, and Laxus could already feel his magic power dissipating. He clenched his teeth and looked for the inn.

"Cut it out if you don't want to decorate the pavement." He said through his teeth and her fists hit his chest again. "Fuck you!" She growled, but Laxus felt his magic power stabilize as she relaxed. He narrowed his eyes and felt a twinge of satisfaction. Now able to focus, he aimed for the quiet inn where they could get away from prying eyes.

Lightning blasted against the stone road and they tumbled to the ground.

Laxus rarely traveled with others through lightning, and whenever he did it was always a rocky landing. He blinked the stars out of his eyes and felt relieved that the girl was securely in his arms. She blew hair out her face and her striking bluish green eyes glared viciously at Laxus. They were enticing, and had it been different circumstances, he may have enjoyed a woman like her pressing her body into his. However, his eyes became trained on the gold tattoo on her left cheekbone. It was the familiar symbol of a Fairy.

He sneered and sent a violent electric current through her body.

Those blue eyes rolled up in her head and she slumped against his chest, finally unconscious.

Things to remember because I made my own town:

Edera: small seaport town, approximately a half day's journey from Borwatt (reference Episode 225)

Edera is run by the Royal House of Imperico, which provides guards, laws, etc. The royal family lives in Euphorbia Castle

Ximus is first advisor to the Imperico House.
