Never Lose Hope

Assembling The Team

"Can it, Penguin!" cried Natsu

"Why don't you? Hot Head!" retaliated Gray

As they tossed and tussled, they crashed into the table where Erza was enjoying her cake.

"Who did this?!? said the armour-cladded Erza as she looked at both Gray and Natsu

"Gray" states Natsu

"Natsu" stated Gray

But it didn't matter to Erza, she just bashed both their skulls together and ordered another cake.

"I... blame... you... Ice Princess" groaned Natsu

"Be... quiet... Slanty Eyes" replied Gray

"Shhhhhhh guys! I'm about to break a guils record! 59 barrels of beer in an hour!" said Cana who was still somehow sober

Another normal day at Fairy Tail, Cana drinking, Erza eating cake, Natsu andGray fighting. Who knew it would be the day that everything would change?

"Anyways Luce, wanna go on a job?" asked Natsu

"Fine, but I'm kinda tired, so don't make it too hard"

As they skimmed over the jobs on the request board, one had caught Natsus attention.

"Oooooooh! How about this one?" asked Natsu excitedly while shoving a piece of paper into Lucy's face.

Lucy took the paper and read:

"Help needed! Dragon attacking Oak Town area! Need help immediately!
Reward: 10 000 000 Jewel"

"T-t-t-ten million j-jewel?!?" asked Lucy shocked with disbelief

"A real dragon? Maybe its Igneel! But why would Igneel attack a town? The Igneel I knew would never do that! "
Yelled Natsu before getting hit in the head for being too loud by Lucy

"Who said something about a dragon?" asked Laxus in a gruff tone

"We did!" Said Natsu raising his hand up

"I'm coming with, it was honestly unbearable to see how three dragon slayers combined couldn't defeat Acnologia" replied Laxus clearly disgusted

"I will follow Lord Laxus anywhere! So I will come too! No, I must!" stated Freed, eyes ablaze with passion

"Fine, fine, but thats it out of the Raijinshootme" groaned Natsu

"Why you little..." muttered Freed as he began to draw his sword, but Laxus stopped him

"Why Lord Laxus, you are truly merciful!" cried Freed

"Anyways..." said Lucy
"Lets go tell Mira about the job"

They headed towards the bars counter. Once they got there, Natsu screamed:

"HEY MIRA" but right after he was finished, he was hit in the head by Lucy yet again

"Hey guys! What can I help you with?" asked Mira in her usual cheery tone

"We wanted to take this job"said Lucy as she handed Mira the bulletin

"Oh okay!" replied Mira as she skimmed the details of the job, and wrote in her notebook. But before she sent them off, she asked

"Can I ask you guys a favour?"

"Sure thing!" said Lucy

"Can I join you guys? For the mission I mean"

"Heheheh, sorry Mira, but we're versing a real dragon here, we don't want you getting hurt!" grinned Natsu before getting hit on the head for the third time that day

"Baka! She's an S- class as well! She's practically on the same level as Erza!" hissed Lucy through gritted teeth

"Ummm, actually Mira, we would love your help!" corrected Natsu

So it was settled, Mira, Freed, Laxus, Natsu, and Lucy set off to start their next journey, who would've guessed that such tragedy would strike?
