Me: Hey Guys! Welcome to the very first chapter of my VERY FIRST fanfic! *jumps up and down with excitement*

Laxus: I don't know what you're so happy about, they'll hate it anyway!

Me: You're so mean! *grows mushrooms in a corner*

Lucy: Laxus! Were you being mean to the author again! *evil eye glint & demonic aura*

Laxus: N-n-n-no m-m-ma'am! *trembles in fear*

Sting: Owned! *laughs mockingly*

Laxus: Shut up! She's scarier than Erza sometimes!

Lucy: Are you two fighting?!

Laxus: N-n-n-no m-m-ma'am! We're best buddies today, as usual! *throws arm over Sting's shoulder*

Sting: Aye, sir! *throws arm over Laxus' shoulder*

Rogue: It's Happy#2. *expressionless, as usual*

Jellal: Again…

Me: *feeling left out*

Ultear: Are you sulking again? *threatening*

Me: *jumps out of mushroom-infested corner* Ultear! Do the disclaimer! *puppy dog eyes*

Ultear: *sighs exasperatedly* This idiot does not own Fairy Tail, or any of it's characters. *monotone*

Me: *back in Mushroom Corner*

Mushroom Corner: I have a title! YAY!

Fairy Tail

"Natsu! Let's go on a job, okay?" the bubbly blond, Lucy, smiled happily, before being completely ignored by her team. "Hey, Natsu!" she whined plaintively.

"What do you want?" Natsu, her pink-headed friend, snapped angrily. "Can't you see we're trying to talk to Lisanna? Who'd wanna talk to you anyway?" he said in disgust.

"Natsu, I just…" Lucy began.

"Yeah, after all, you are the weakest one on the team!" The scarlet-headed mage spoke up.

"Erza, not you too?"

"Yeah, you should just get lost!" Grey, the ice-make mage piped up.

"Juvia agrees. Her love rival should disappear!" the blue haired water-mage crossed her arms, standing next to her beloved 'Grey-sama'.

From the top balcony, a man watched the scene. The older blond tilted his head, before deciding that someone should stand up for her. He jumped down, landing easily between the group and the young celestial mage. "Don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" he asked calmly.

"Oh, and where were you, Laxus, when Phantom Lord was attacking us? Huh?" Erza accused.

"Which, by the way, was your fault!" Natsu pointed at Lucy cruelly.

"You both should just leave!" Cana shouted from behind her keg of beer.

The rest of the guild piped up with agreements. It continued like this for a while, before Natsu used 'Iron fist of the Fire Dragon' to send Lucy flying out the guild doors. Erza re-equipped into her 'Heaven's Wheel' armour and pierced her former nakama multiple times. The guild turned to face Laxus, but he was already picking up Lucy and carrying her as far away from the guild as possible.

"Now where do we go?" he wondered aloud. "We have to get out of Magnolia." This he knew. Who knows how long it would take before their so-called nakama would come after them, if they even cared enough to do so.

'Go to Syophyses' Ruins…' a voice echoed in his head.

"Good enough for me." He hoisted the younger mage up in his arms and walked towards the train station.

Sabertooth

The 'Twin Dragons' sat at a table near the back of their unusually quiet guild. "What's wrong with everyone today?" Sting asked his non-responsive partner, Rogue, who shrugged.

"You want to know what our problem is? Our problem is YOU!" an angry mage stood before them, though it took a while before they remembered his name. Rufus Lore, a memory-make mage. Great.

"Yeah, you guys have never been team players! Always going off on your own, never giving a fuck about anyone else!" Minerva yelled.

"Maybe you should just die!" an unknown mage declared.

"Leave!" Minerva ordered. "As of now you are no longer members of Sabertooth!"

The two dragon slayers and their exceeds stood up slowly. They all calmly left the guild. It was only a little while afterwards, that they let their anger get to them.

"Damn it!" Sting , the light dragon slayer, shouted, punching a tree. Rogue, the shadow dragon slayer, just stared angrily, the shadows twisting and writhing in the forest.

"Now what?" Rogue said. It was the most he'd said all day.

'Go so Syophyses' Ruins…' the voice echoed through their heads. They both shrugged, and began the long trek.

Somewhere or Other…

"Jellal, where the hell are we going?" Ultear asked sharply.

"How am I to know? You have the map!" Jellal retorted. Why, he chose to travel with her, he had no idea.

"No I don't, you do."

"I think you'll find you do." He turned around to face her. They both stared at each other.

"SHIT!" they yelled in unison.

"Where the hell are we supposed to be going?" Ultear demanded, ready to choke the life out of her 'partner'.

'Go to Syophyses' Ruins…' a voice echoed throughout their heads, and the red that had tinged Jellal's views retreated. The 'friends' looked at each other and shrugged. Better than nowhere.

Syophyses' Ruins

The three different groups of people entered from different directions, completely unaware of each other's presence, and of what lay ahead. They made their way to the centre of the maze-like ruins. They all bumped into each other. Literally. With all six of them on their backsides on the floor, rubbing their heads and groaning "Owww…" the two unseen presences could not hold back their laughter. The six looked up defiantly, ready to teach whoever it was getting a kick at their expense a lesson in manners. When their eyes laid on the two huge shapes before them they all exclaimed in unison.

"EH?!"

Laxus: Syophyses' Ruins?! What possesed you to name it that?!

Me: *wailing* WAH! I'm sorry! I couldn't think of anything! I'm so sorry!

Lucy: (drawn by my cries) Are you being mean to the author AGAIN?! *throws arms protectively around me*

Laxus: N-n-no... I was just congratulating her on her incredible success with this first chapter. *laughs nervously*

Ultear: What success? It's slow, the summary is crap and I was TOTALLY NOT PORTRAYED RIGHT! I'M NOT THAT MEAN! *yells*

Me: *whimpers and hides deeper in Lucy's arms* Lucy-neechan, she's scary... *little girl voice*

Jellal: Ultear! Be gentle with her! It's her first fanfic, after all!

Ultear: Hmph *walks away in a huff*

Me: Bwahaha. *evil eye glint and conspiratorious grin* All I have to do is keep this up for the first few chapters, and then I can have my revenge...

Mushroom Corner: Wah! Lucy's replacing me!
