Author's Note:
Hey howdy hey, folks! TheSavageMan100 is back! Just a whole bunch of days away from the end of the summer, and I've officially begun work on the first of Fairy Tail's Pixar Parodies, Fairy Tail's Toy Story! Just so you know, Pixar Animation is one of the various companies purchased by Disney in its heyday. It's well-known for making incredible, heartwarming movies like Up, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Inside Out, and many, many more. The first story I'm going to present to you is based on the first Toy Story. I remember the Toy Story franchise as one of my all-time favorite movies, the very first computer-animated movie, and the one film that started it all. Anyways, let's go to the summary!
When a flashy new Lamia Scale Space Ranger action figure named Gray Fullbuster enters the world of a pull-string Dragon Slayer named Natsu Dragneel, it sparks an outrageously funny tiff between toys. Now, Natsu's top spot as the favorite toy of his owner Ken Hirugashi is in jeopardy… and soon so are the lives of Natsu and Gray! Accidentally whisked away from home and into the clutches of a neighborhood bully, these two squabbling rivals must work together as a team if they are to escape. With toy box pals Wendy Marvell the Sky Priestess, Gajeel Redfox, Erza Scarlet, and Natsu's long-lost girlfriend Lucy Heartfilia ready to lend a hand, Natsu and Gray unite in friendship for a grand adventure home.
Oh, and one more thing! The setting takes place in modern-day Japan, considering Japan is the birthplace of the Fairy Tail manga. The humans playing with the toys are completely OC, like the aforementioned Ken Hirugashi. Another thing, Lucy will NOT be Bo Peep, instead she'll be given an extra, super-important role in the story. Instead, the role of Bo Peep will be passed on to Mirajane. You'll find out why soon enough.

Our story begins in a town rising from the desert sands, houses and buildings of wood and stone sporting a few stories high. Strangely, not a single soul was seen outside. The streets were empty. The vibrancy remained quiet. The only noises heard were the whistles of the wind, and the fluttering of a wanted poster depicting the town's most dangerous criminal, based on eye-witness descriptions.
The silence was broken by a loud explosion, and then screams. The noises came from the local bank, which had been raided by the aforementioned criminal. He was a muscular man with long spiky hair dressed in a black sleeveless tunic with studded edges, brown pants, black boots, gloves, a wing-like ornament, and a black scarf around his neck. His most notable feature was the iron demon mask he wore around his face. His name was Gajeel Redfox.
Holding hostage hundreds of innocent civilians, Gajeel transformed his arm into a large spiked sword of iron and swung it around threateningly. He demanded, "Alright, you dumb bozos, this is a stick-up! Nobody move!" He then pointed his sword-transformed arm to the bank clerk, "Now, empty that safe!"
The bank clerk in question was Happy, a blue Exceed with big black eyes, pink ears, and a green pouch tied to his back. The safe Gajeel referred to was actually a giant piggy bank standing behind him. Happy shivered, "T-T-T-The safe?"
Gajeel cackled, "That's right, kitty cat clerk. Empty the piggy bank, every single coin, and don't do anything stupid."
Happy just stood there, visibly shaken by the robber's threat. He didn't move a muscle, yet his body showed signs of trembling, and the tears flowed down his fur.
"Oh, not movin', eh?" Gajeel smirked at the Exceed's brave yet futile attempt to guard the safe. "Iron Dragon's Sword!" He swung his iron sword arm, destroying the large piggy bank and Happy with it. The impact shattered the piggy bank and Happy's body into pieces, and the citizens gasped at the grotesque feat they've witnessed. With the deed done, Gajeel moved away the remains, his eyes flashing on the main prize.
Laughing greedily, the robber found what he was looking for: a stash of giant coins made out of solid gold. "Ha-ha-ha! Golden Coins, the rarest currency in the whole world! This is gonna be a major haul!" He picked up one Golden Coin from the floor and observed it, "I'm gonna sell 'em to them entrepreneurs, charge a fortune, and I'll be filthy stinkin' rich! I'm talkin' big money! Money, money, money!" He then exchanged a few kisses on the coin.
"Stop it! Stop it, you mean iron demon!" the loud protest came from a 19-year old girl with long white hair and dressed in a long black dress. Her name was Mirajane Strauss. "The Golden Coins are the symbol of the town! You can't take them away from us!"
"Shut up, Mirajane, or your brother and sister are gonna get run over!" Gajeel threatened. He motioned his Iron Dragon's Sword to a 17-year old girl wearing a dark red dress paired with a white collar and bow, pale pink fabrics around her arms, gold rings above her elbows, tall black socks, and brown shoes. Her name was Lisanna Strauss, Mirajane's younger sister. Next to Lisanna was an 18-year old tall and muscular man wearing an outfit reminiscent of a Japanese high-school student. His name was Elfman Strauss, Mirajane's younger brother.
"Help, Mira! Please help us!" Lisanna whimpered.
"Don't worry, Lisanna! I'll protect you!" Elfman tightly embraced Lisanna. "A real man knows no fear!"
"No!" Mirajane screamed. "Not my brother and sister! Somebody do something! Someone, anyone! Please help us!"
And then, as if to answer the citizens' prayers, a 17-year old man with spiked salmon hair jumped onto the scene. He wore a black one-sleeved waistcoat, white knee-length trousers, a scarf adorned with dragon scales, and sandals. His name was Natsu Dragneel. Upon entering the bank, the large ring attached to the center of his back was pulled by an invisible force, revealing a long pull-string. By the time the string was pulled, an invisible voice resonated from Natsu's chest, as if a voice box was inside him. "Reach for the sky!"
"Oh, no! Natsu Dragneel! The Salamander!" Gajeel exclaimed. He recognized the salmon-haired boy as the hero of the town, best known for the astronomical number of criminals he brought to justice. He was mostly feared by the criminal underworld, and no one ever escaped from him.
With a smirk, Natsu slammed his right open palm with his left fist, the hands suddenly igniting with fire. He announced, "I'm here to stop you from robbing our treasured Golden Coins, Black Steel Gajeel." Raising a clenched burning fist, Natsu threw a fireball which knocked the iron demon mask off. It revealed Gajeel's face, which was studded with metal dots around his eyebrows.
"D'oh!" Gajeel cringed at Natsu revealing his true identity. "How'd you know it was me?"
Natsu explained, pointing at his nose, "I'm a Dragon Slayer. My nose can pick up any scent I'm familiar with. My sense of smell is as strong as iron." He added with a laugh, "Yours isn't." He then resumed the topic, "So, you gonna come quietly, or do you want me to melt that iron face of yours?"
Gajeel scoffed, "You can't touch me, Salamander! I've brought my henchwoman Titania, and she's got heavy-duty armor!" On cue, a 19-year old crimson-haired woman dressed in armor named Erza Scarlet appeared by his side.
"I am bound by my honor to protect you, Master Gajeel. As long as I draw breath, I'll never lose to the likes of him! Requip!" In response, Erza's armor broke itself apart and reassembled into the Adamantine Armor, capable of repelling the strongest of attacks. Standing in front of Natsu, Erza grasped the two large shields attached to the back of her armor and assimilated them into one large shield, generating a force field around both her and Gajeel. "I've requipped into my Adamantine Armor, with a built-in, indestructible Adamantine Shield!" For a moment, it appeared that the notorious criminal was well protected.
Natsu countered, "Well, I've brought my Sky Priestess, who destroys Adamantine Armor!" On cue, a 12-year old girl appeared alongside him. She had long dark blue hair tied in two ponytails, and she wore a white dress with white sleeves wrapped below her shoulders, a red bowtie, a red sash tied to her hips, white long stockings, and red petit boots. Her name was Wendy Marvell.
"By the power of Grandeeney and the spirits of heaven, my wind shall destroy the adamantine in your armor!" Wendy said bravely. She waved her hand in a circular motion and swung it, summoning a powerful gust of wind that collided with Erza's Adamantine Shield. As a result, the shield and the whole armor shattered into a million pieces, and Erza was left in a white sleeveless dress and a skirt.
"Nooooooo! Impossible! My armor was supposed to be invincible!" Erza exclaimed. With a high-pitched scream, she fainted unconsciously, the loss of her armor taking its toll on her.
"Titania, get up! You gotta fight!" Gajeel shouted at Erza. "You call yourself my number one henchwoman?!"
Natsu turned to Wendy and brushed her head with a smile, "Thanks, Wendy. You're a big help."
Wendy replied with a giggle, "Helping others is what I do best, Natsu. After all, I'm the pillar that holds hope for everyone."
A few minutes later…
The criminal Gajeel Redfox was thrown in prison, which strangely resembled a baby crib hundreds of stories high. A cardboard sign was taped to the bars with the word "JAIL" written in crayon. Natsu stated, "You got yourself a free lifetime pass to jail, Gajeel. Say goodbye to the wife and tater-tots."
Just then, a 50-foot baby crawled over and picked Gajeel up. She sucked on the helpless criminal's nose, and then proceeded to pound him repeatedly against the rail of her crib.
As it turned out, the whole bank robbery scenario was actually a reenactment created by Ken Hirugashi, a 6-year old boy from modern day Japan with a passion for toys. Living with his mother and 1-year old sister Maka in the rural town of Inaba, Ken had many toys to play with, from dolls to preschool toys to action figures, and they had wonderful adventures in the world of imagination. The toys were the actors, and the atmosphere was the setting. But of all the toys in his collection, Ken's very best and most favorite was Natsu Dragneel.
With another day of Ken's playtime executed timely and perfectly, Ken, wearing a scarf adorned with dragon scales himself, picked up Natsu from the floor. "You saved the day again, Natsu," he said, pulling Natsu's pull-string.
"You're my favorite pal," Natsu's voice box spoke, as a song began to play.
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Ken turned around the boxes, drawn up in crayon to look like the miniature town Natsu and the other toys were played on, to reveal cows drawn on the other side. He grabbed a jump rope and pretended that Natsu was lassoing the cattle. "C'mon, let's wrangle up the cattle." Eventually, the young boy used the jump rope to catch one of the boxes.
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice, warm bed
Ken then placed Natsu on top of a RC (remote control) car with two round eyes named Fireball Dragion (Dragion for short).
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Operated by Ken using a remote control, Dragion moved Natsu around, herding the remaining "cow" boxes under Maka's crib. "Yee-haw!" Ken cheered.
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Ken picked Natsu up, giving a hi-five to the toy. "Hey there, cowboy."
The scene switched to Natsu, who appeared to be going through a wild desert, but in reality, he rode on top of Ken's back.
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and strong too
Maybe
Ken placed Natsu on top of the stairwell banister, allowing the doll to slide downstairs. Ken raced ahead and caught him at the bottom. The boy smiled as he hugged his favorite toy, a living reminder of the strong bond they shared.
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
Ken and Natsu fell onto a reclining chair and spun themselves around and around.
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
Seconds later, the chair slowed down.
You're gonna see it's our destiny
Next, Ken set Natsu on top of the reclining chair's foot rest.
You've got a friend in me
The boy pulled the lever, and the foot rest launched him high into the air like a catapult. Ken shouted happily, "Alright!"
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
The Dragon Slayer doll was flung across the room to the edge of the sofa. Ken cheered, "Score!"
You've got a friend in me
Natsu lay limp on the sofa as Ken's mother, Mrs. Hirugashi, came into the living room with boxes in her hands. Smiling in anticipation, Ken went over to his mother to oversee the preparations for his birthday party. He was turning seven next week, and Mrs. Hirugashi originally intended to host the party at the exact day of her son's birth, but considering that the Hirugashi family was moving to a new home in a couple of days, she decided to host the party today. Mrs. Hirugashi had just finished decorating the area with streamers and balloons. A banner was draped across the archway, which read: "Happy Birthday, Ken."
"Wow, cool!" Ken remarked.
"So, what do you think?" Mrs. Hirugashi asked.
"Oh, this looks great, Mom," Ken smiled.
"I figured you'd like it, birthday boy," Mrs. Hirugashi laughed.
"Just like the cool stuff at the Inaba Junes Store. I asked for it, right?" Ken asked eagerly. Meanwhile, Natsu's frozen face stared in the direction of the birthday celebrations. "Can we leave this up 'til we move?"
"Sure, why not? Anything for you," Mrs. Hirugashi agreed.
"Yeah!" Ken bounced up and down like the excitable bundle of energy he was. He simply can't wait for the presents.
"Now go get Maka," Mrs. Hirugashi suggested. "Your friends are gonna be here any minute."
"Okay," Ken nodded, and he picked up Natsu from the couch. "It's party time, Natsu! YEE-HAH!" He ran upstairs with the doll in his hand and re-entered his room. Maka was still banging Gajeel wildly against her crib railing. Ken, on the other hand, was amused of his little sister's antics. The boy tipped Natsu's forehead for a bow and said, "Hey there, little lady!"
Ken deposited Natsu on the bed, before pulling his string one last time. The voice box said, "Somebody's poisoned the waterhole."
"C'mon, Maka. Oh, you're getting heavy," Ken lifted his baby sister out of her crib and carried her out the door. He quickly turned back to the pull-string Dragon Slayer, "See you later, Natsu!" And with that, he closed the door, making his way back down to the party.
A couple of moments after Ken and Maka left, the room became silent.
Suddenly, Natsu's eyes began to blink.
Then the lips moved.
Then the head nudged.
And finally, the Dragon Slayer doll sat up, his expression changing from a smile to a look of worry. He said to himself, "Spicy meatballs, the birthday party's today?"
From what Natsu suspected, there were a few matters at hand besides playtime with Ken.
