"Lucy huh? Such a nice name." The fake guy spoke after Lucy told him her name, to which she gave a forced smile and a thank you.
"First, we should pour the wine and make a toast." The same words he spoke in the canon, he spoke here and I readied myself for the cringe words that are going to come out of his mouth.
"Uh, don't you have other guests?" Lucy herself was uncomfortable so she tried to drive him away but to no avail.
"Never mind them. the only one I feel like drinking with now is you. Just open those beautiful lips… and allow these jewel drops of the fruit of the vine to dance upon your taste buds." Ugh, I feel like puking. Did he actually think those kind of lines work on normal women? Just how stupid can he get. Look, even Lucy is now scared for her life due to how creepy you are sounding.
But since she already knew about the true nature of the guy, she had enough smarts about her to not even open her mouth to the droplets of wine that was floating near her and instead, swiped her hand at it to send it flying on to the table in front of her.
"Those are sedatives aren't they?" Lucy spoke while glaring at him and the guy who was surprised at first showed a smirk at her words.
"Oh no, you saw through it. What will I do with you? If you had just allowed yourself to get drugged, this wouldn't have hurt." When he spoke till here, two of the guys behind Lucy who was one of his cronies should have come and captured her. But since I was already there, I took them out without even turning around.
"Huh? Where are those bastards? Well whatever, I could handle you on my own anyway." When he noticed his cronies not showing up, he got annoyed but forgot about it soon enough. He started to slowly walk his way over when suddenly, the roof of the ship burst open with a huge fire tornado.
"What the!?" the fake guy cried out as the fire was really near where he stood and the rest of his cronies soon came running to see the commotion. When the smoke cleared, Natsu was there crouched on the floor in a cool pose while having a cool expression. But all Natsu fans know what came next.
"Ugh." Yup, Natsu held his mouth with a sick expression totally ruining the cool aura he was showing just a second earlier.
"Hey Lucy, your keys fell into the water just then over there." I was already visible now that there were a lot of people around and after making my way over to Lucy who was on the ground because of the tremor the ship has gone through and said so.
"What!?" Lucy shouted out as she looked to where I was pointing. To be honest, it was me who threw the keys out during the previous chaos because I didn't want to stray from the story of the canon too much and Natsu can only go wild after Lucy uses Aquarius to send the ship back to Harbor town anyway.
And so, after having a bit of a scuffle with Happy after I once again hid myself, Lucy jumped into the ocean to look for her keys. The rest of the things that happened was just like what happened in the canon.
Natsu was struggling on his feet, Lucy found the keys and unleashed Aquarius who then threatened Lucy. And then, Aquarius sent Lucy, Happy, the ship and everyone on it back towards the Harbor town through a water tunnel.
"You could have handled that on your own, right?" Aquarius who watched her handiwork turned towards her side, where I stood in the middle of the air also looking towards the town's direction and spoke to me.
"Hm, I could. But then it wouldn't be as fun now would it? Anyways, it has been a while, hasn't it Aquarius?" I gave a mischievous smirk in return before genuinely smiling towards the celestial spirit. As I said, it has been a long time since I last saw her. The last time was over four hundred years ago when Anna was still using the keys.
"Indeed it has. Everyone misses you greatly." Aquarius replied while keeping her eyes on me and her words made me chuckle a bit since I really needed to visit those guys.
"Oh, does that include you as well, Aqua?" My mischievous smile returned as I spoke in a sing song voice to her to which she didn't reply and instead just vanished. I gave a laugh at her reaction before I teleported to the sight of the ship that had landed on the Harbor town.
"Ah, I forgot. Natsu is stronger than in the canon and so the destruction he causes should be..." my sudden realization was cut off when the entire ship started to set on fire which was soon going to catch on the rest of the town.
"…bigger. Haah, I really forgot about this." After mumbling around, I quickly went to work as I sent the ship to dream reality and teleported the remaining fire to somewhere barren. After I did this, I walked towards Natsu who was still fighting and punched him over the head.
"Quit it! We need to get out of here before the council comes." I spoke to Natsu who was nursing his head and then turned towards Lucy, who was with Happy and surprised at how I was dealing with Natsu since that meant I knew him.
"Let���s go!" I started running while bridal carrying Lucy who gave a yelp at the sudden action. Natsu and Happy followed while laughing their asses off and Lucy suddenly asked why we were bringing her along.
"Hey, you said you wanted to get into Fairy Tail, right? Then come along!" I let Natsu say this since it was him who said so in the first place anyway.
"Okay!" Lucy hearing his words gave me a look to which, I just smile and so she gave a loud okay with a huge smile. And so we ran away from the council with Lucy in tow with the intent to join the guild with us.
Half an hour of running later, our little group was resting under the shade of a tree to the side of the road we were walking on. We weren't really exhausted since we were trained much more than normal people but we still decided to stop for a bit.
"Hey, Ray-nii, what were you doing back there anyway." Natsu was the one who spoke first and suddenly asked me for the reason I was there. Honestly, how slow can you get. It took you this long to ask that.
"I had to make sure that you didn't do too much damage to your surroundings since everyone knows how… over excited you can get. It was a good thing I did too since not only did I manage to stop any of the town take damage from you, I also managed to stop Lucy from getting into harms way." I gave an eye roll to him and gave a little lie.
"Ah, how did you know her name? I haven't introduced you too yet." Natsu gave an owlish look before he spoke and I gave a smirk in return.
"That's because we both have known each other long before today. Isn't that right, Lucy?" I replied to him before turning my attention towards Lucy in a sing song voice. Man, I am doing that more than usual today, aren't I?
"Hmph, you disappeared and didn't come back after that. I don't know what you are so happy about." Lucy turned away in a huff as she spoke and I just laughed it off since I knew she wasn't being that serious about it.
"Hm, well, Ray-nii does that to everyone it seems. Those guys, back at the guild had beaten Ray-nii up for doing that to them too." Natsu spoke about the time he witnessed my entrance to the guild which made my laughter stop since that was really a sad moment to my cool persona.
"Ah, that's right. I forgot about how I have many sisters now. Uu, I wonder if they will accept me." Natsu's words snapped her out as she began to get nervous about the upcoming meeting with the rest of my harem. It's a good thing that I had said I will bring a new sister to them before I teleported out of the guild. Haah, I will still get a scolding wont I?
"Don't worry. They'll accept you without any issues, I am the one who will get the brunt end of the work in this case." I spoke to her to ease her worries before silently mumbling the latter half of the sentence and so prepared myself.
