Chapter Nine ~ First Job

Lucy, Sage and I are sitting at the bar. Mira is cleaning cups behind us. Across the guild, Natsu is sitting down at a table with Hunter and Gray on either side of him.

"I can't believe he believed what I said." Sage says while laughing.

"I can't believe Natsu's got one servant for the day and one for a week." Lucy says, giggling.

"Neither can I, but this is funny." I say.

"Hey Gray. Go eat one of Erza's cakes." Natsu says. I could only hear it because of my dragon slayer hearing.

"Are you crazy, Flame brain!?!" Gray yells at Natsu. "No way in hell am I gonna do that! She'll kill me!"

"Shut up and do what I say Ice freak." Natsu tells him while an evil smirk is present on his face.

"What's going on over there?" Lucy asks.

"Natsu told Gray to eat someone's cake. I didn't catch the name though." Sage says. I see Gray get up from his seat and walk over to the bar. He walks around it and heads to the back. When he comes out, he is holding one of Erza's prized strawberry cakes. He takes a bit out of it and it looks like he's in cake heaven.

"No wonder she likes these so much. They're delicious." He says while walking back over to Natsu and Hunter.

"Hey Hunter. Can you go pick out a job for Me, Happy, and Lucy. I want to test out her magic skill." Natsu says.

"Yes, Master." Hunter says while standing up. He walks over to the request board.

"Natsu must be very happy right now." Lucy says.

"How come?" Sage asks. I see out of the corner of my eye, Mira's eyes light up. I can tell she starts to listen to our conversatation.

"Well Natsu has a crush on Hunter." Lucy says.

I gasp. "Hunter has a crush on Natsu." I tell the girls.

We stare at each other before squealing and jumping up and down. Mira squeals and joins us in our fangirl attack. People look over and give up weird looks. I'm used to them, so they don't bother me. Hunter goes up to Natsu and gives him the job.

I hear Natsu ask Hunter to take away his and Happy's dirty dishes. He has been eating for two hours, so Hunter has a lot of plates to carry.

Hunter walks behind the bar and into the backroom, which I believe is a kitchen. He's found out more places in this area than I have. Probably because he's been here for a year. I need to go on a job. Maybe I can go on one with Sage since Natsu is going on one with Lucy and Happy, and Gray should be leaving for one soon too. Mira, Lucy, Sage, and I stop squealing. Natsu comes over and takes Lucy away. Probably to ask her to go on that job with him. Mira leaves to get people their drinks. That leaves just me and Sage.

"Hey Sage. Wanna go on a job with me?" I ask.

"Sure! You can pick since it was your idea." Sage tells me. I nod at her and walk over to the request board. I look around a bit before finding a good one that should be easy.

A group of bandits are attacking our village at night. Please help us get rid of these evil men.

Warning: These bandits are very strong and would need a group of at least four, very strong wizards to defeat them.

Reward: 50,000 J

Sage walks up behind me and looks at the job.

"We'll need two more wizards for this job." Sage says kinda sadly.

"No we wont. We'll be just fine. Lets tell Mira we're taking this job." I tell her. I walk up to the bar to see only Hunter. "Hey Hunter. Where's Mira? We want to take this job." I show him the job.

"She's busy in the back right now so I'm taking over for her." Hunter says.

"Oh okay then. Well, here's the job." I hand him the job and he looks it over. He looks back up at me.

"You sure you can do this job? It needs four wizards and there's only you and Sage." Hunter says.

"Are you doubting my skills?" I ask him.

"No, no. Of course not. You did beat Gray in battle. I'm just worried about you." Hunter says, worry written all over his face.

"We'll be fine Hunter." Sage says.

"Yeah. So don't worry about us." I say.

"Alright." Hunter says. He writes us down for the job and hands us the paper back.

"It'll take about two hours to get to Orchid. We'll have to wait till night to see the bandits. We should be back tomorrow." I say.

"Well we best be going. It'll be dark in about three hours." Sage says. I nod at her and we leave for the train station.

~Time Skippy~

We arrive at the small village called Orchid. The person you sent the request is living in a house right beside the train station. We knock on the door and an old lady answers.

"Oh hello. You must be here because of the request my husband sent to Fairy Tail." The old lady says. "Please come in, come in."

We walk in and the lady leads us to a small living room. In the living room, an old man is sitting at a desk near the door. He looks up and notices Sage and I.

"Please take a seat." We do what the man says. He follows suit and sits on the couch across from us. "You must be the wizards from Fairy Tail, but where are the rest of you? I sent for four wizards."

"We're all." I say.

"Are you sure you can beat them?" The man asks.

"Yes. We're sure." Sage says.

"Well I expect this job to be done by morning." The man says. "Now out. The bandits should be arriving any minute now."

We nod at him and quickly leave the house.

"He was rude." Sage says.

"Yeah. I wish he had told us more about the bandits though. We currently only know that they don't have any magic and only attack in the dark. But if they are about to attack soon, that means they attack at dusk, not night." I say.

"Yeah. True Come on, lets get into positions." Sage says.

~Time Skippy~

"Hurry up you bafoons. I want to get this over with quickly." I hear a voice say from not to far away.

"Sage. There's someone over there." I whisper to her.

"I heard them." Sage says.

"Follow me." I tell her. I jump down from the roof that we are currently on.

"How did you hear them? I could just barely hear them even with my dragon slayer hearing." Sage asks me as she follows me around a few corners.

"Don't tell anyone, but I'm a dragon slayer too." I tell her. I hear her gasp in surprise behind me. "They're right around this corner."

We turn the corner and we meet face to face with the bandits. They have a very surprised look on their faces.

"Who the hell are you?!" One of the guys ask. There are about twenty or thirty guys. I can sense a little bit of magic so one person here must be a wizard.

"We're the people that are gonna stop you." Sage says confidently.

"Come at us." The lead guy says.

I run towards the guy in the front but jump over him and kick him in the back of the head. He stumbles on his feet and then gets punch in the face with magic by Sage. I land behind the guy and punch the guy in front of me in the face. He tries to punch me in return but I catch his fist and flip him over and onto his back. He groans in pain and stays on the ground. A guy with black hair and a guy with dirty blond hair run up to me and try to hit me. I quickly knock them both out by banging their heads together. I round house kick a guy that was trying to hit me from the side. Something moves behind me and I quickly realize someone is trying to sneak up on me. I elbow him in the abdomen. Five more guys try to attack me all at once, hoping to over power me. I front flip over the guy in front of me and turn around to kick him in the back. I feel someones back up against mine. It was Sage and we had about eleven guys surrounding her. Sage had water with shards of ice in it surrounding her fists.

"Use your roar. It should knock out about five of them in one blow." I whisper to her. I feel her nod behind me.

"ICE DRAGON ROOOOOAAAAAR!" Sage yells. A spiral of water and ice shards are sent at the men in front of her. I hear five bodies fall to the ground, unconscious. That leaves about six guys. But what happened to the rest? I can't see the leader anywhere nor can I sense the magic user. There are about five guys missing too.

I'm brought back to the fight when I get punched in the gut. I gasp in slight pain and grab my stomach. I look up to see some guy with brown hair smirking down at me. He looks pretty proud he got the first hit on me. I release my stomach and punch the guy right back in the same place. I then punch him in the face, and I do a leg sweep to knock him on the ground. He bangs his head on the ground and becomes unconscious. Sage has already taken care of another guy, leaving only four guys.

"Take care of them Sage. I'm off to find the leader and that magic user." I yell to her.

"Be careful and you can trust me!" Sage says.

"Don't worry about me." I say while running off. I quickly catch the man's scent and follow it. I reach a small building in the woods just outside of town. This must be their base. I walk in after checking for any traps. I find the missing five guys from the fight. They all run at me. I jump up in the air, causing them to run into each other. I fall down down and land on their backs. They fall on the floor and somehow become unconscious.

"Either I don't know my own strength or these guys are just weak." I mumble to myself. I walk into the next room over only to be almost shot in the face with magic. I turn my head to look at the head sized hole in the wall next to me. "Was that necessary?"

"Yes, it was. But it was more meant for your head." The magic user says.

"Weak." I say.

"What? Let me see you do better than that." The man says. I look at him then turn to the opposite side of me that the hole isn't on.

"Celestial Dragon Iron Fist!" I yell and my hand gets surrounded by magic. The magic looks like the night sky except the stars are a bright purple. I punch a hole almost as big as me is in the wall. I turn and look at the two men. They both had shocked and scared looks on their faces.

"Do you still want to fight me? Or do you want to run away and leave this village alone?" I ask the two. The magic user runs at me and tries to punch me. I grab his fist and give him a death glare. "Celestial Dragon's Claw!" I yell. I kick him where the sun don't shine, and he falls to the ground. I look up to find the other guy gone. Sniffing around, I find his scent going deeper into the woods. Coward. He didn't even stay to fight.

I gather the men I left unconscious and the magic user. I head back to the village. Sage is sitting down, staring at a group of tied up bandits. I tie up the guys I was carrying and sit down next to Sage.

"I knew you could do it." I tell her.

"It didn't take long. They weren't as strong as I thought they would be. This job wouldn't have needed four wizards." Sage says.

"I told you we would be fine. I could tell by just reading the job request that the bandits wouldn't be that strong." I say.

"You know, no one else would have noticed that. You're pretty smart." Sage says.

"Thanks." I say. We waited for the police to come and take the bandits away. Once they did, we left to the requesters house. He gave us our reward.

"We should stay at the hotel here for the night. I don't want to ride the train and I'm sure you don't either." Sage suggests.

"Okay." We walk to the closets hotel and book a room with two beds. When we reach the room, we both immediately pass out.
