The Odd One

Prelude

"I found a job, Lucy!" Natsu yelled from the request board. Lucy sighed. "What is it?" she answered. "We have to destroy a bridge so they can build a new one!" replied Happy, the flying cat.

"That sounds pretty easy. Why can't they destroy it themselves?" asked Lucy, interested.

"There's a wizard out there keeping them from doing that." Replied Natsu

"Don't they have wizards of their own?" Lucy was definitely interested now.

"Aye. That's why it's a job. The guy recruited all of them." said Happy.

That got other people interested. Natsu tried to reject Gray, when he asked to come, but then Erza came over and joined the group, so Natsu had to let Gray come. So that is how the group was formed.
