Titania Erza

A few days passed since Lucy and Tyson defeated Duke Everlue in Shirotsume Town.

"I have to say, I'm impressed how you handled yourself with Duke Everlue." Tyson said, standing to her left and smirking.

"Thanks." Lucy smiled in appreciation with the young man's comment.

The two were sitting at the bar enjoying some drinks. After that, they walked around the guild for something to do.

Lucy then looked for a job on the request board.

"If you want to go out on a job, let me know and I'll sign it. The master's preoccupied at the moment." Mira remarked with a smile on her face.

"Where did he go?" The celestial wizard asked.

"Is it that time of year again." Tyson muttered, walking up to her.

"What do you mean?" She had no idea what he meant by this.

"Master is at the annual league meeting held in Clover." Mirajane explained what he was referring to.

"I see." Lucy nodded in understanding with his statement.

Then a orange-haired man wearing a pair of glasses walked towards the two wizards.

"Hey, if you're looking for a team to join how about you and I form a love team?"

"Still up to your old antics, huh Loke?" Tyson sweat dropped.

"Pass. I'm already part of a team." Lucy turned his offer down.

"Disappointing." Loke pushed his sunglasses up onto his face. "A princess like you joining a team of trouble-makers."

"Says the guy with numerous one-night stands." Tyson pointed out. "With women that already had boyfriends, mind you."

Loke then remembered he often flirted with multiple women that were already dating someone else.

"Alright, you got me there. But I can't help myself. Whenever I see a beautiful woman, my heart aches. Is it wrong for me to share my love?"

"I think you're confusing love with one of the Seven Deadly Sins, pal." Tyson retorted. "You should put more effort into finding a legitimate relationship instead of your one-night stands."

"So, anyway Lucy-" Loke paused after he saw the key ring on Lucy's belt.

"You're a Celestial Wizard?" Loke squealed, recoiling in shock.

"What about it?" Lucy asked, confused.

"What a cruel twist of fate! I'm sorry, but we can never be together!" He cried out dramatically. Loke then ran out of the guild hall.

"That was odd." Lucy said, sweat dropping.

"Apparently, there's a rumor that he had a less than pleasant encounter with a Celestial Wizard." Tyson retorted.

"Explains the freak out when he saw my key ring." Lucy said.

They went back to figuring out which job to take. It was harder than expected, as Lucy and Tyson couldn't agree on one.

Not long after that, the calm atmosphere was shattered when Loke ran back into the guild, slamming the front doors open in a panic.

"THERE'S TROUBLE!" Loke screamed, gathering everyone's attention. "ERZA'S BACK!"

The silence was then broken by the younger generation.

"Good to know." Tyson stated.

"Everyone seems to be on edge." Lucy said. A few people were unfazed by the announcement of Erza's return. Tyson and Happy were some of them, the pair still looked at jobs.

"Really, the worst she could do is beat people up if you make her mad." Tyson said, nonchalant.

"Aye." Happy chimed in.

Soon the guild heard footsteps coming down the road.

"Oh no, that's definitely Erza." Laki said. She was cowering behind a table.

"I should probably find a job...like, now." Nab said before running to the job board as fast as he could.

As he was doing so, the doors to the guild opened.

A woman with long red hair walked in. She had brown eyes and her hair reached down to her waist. A suit of silver armor with a golden cross adorned the young woman. To finish it off, there was a blue skirt and knee high black boots. From what Lucy could see, she was very muscular.

'Wow, she's pretty.' Lucy thought to herself as Erza entered the guild hall.

She stood in the middle of the guild hall and placed the horn down on the floor.

"I've returned from my mission." Erza said, looking around the area. "Where is master Makarov?"

"Left for Clover. It's the annual guild master meeting." Tyson informed her.

"I see." Erza replied. Then a sandy blonde haired wizard inspected the horn.

"Where did this come from?" The man asked.

"It was a reward from the townspeople for completing my job. Do you have a problem with that." Erza glared at him.

"N-not at all." The man muttered before taking a few steps back.

"She's not nearly as monstrous as you described her." Lucy whispered to the two.

"Wait for it." Tyson whispered back.

"Listen up!" Erza exclaimed as she glared at her guild mates with a serious expression.

"While I was on my job, I heard that Fairy Tail is causing problems again. The master may not care, but I do!" She turned to Cana.

"Cana, keep that up and you'll lose a kidney!" She then faced a man who was dancing.

"Vijeteer! Go dance outside!"

"Wakaba, stop smoking!"

Erza scolding the rest of the guild soon ended when a clawed foot slammed down onto the floor startling everyone.

"Give it a rest." Tyson instructed as steam poured out of his mouth. After hearing Wakaba being lectured, he decided it was a good time to put it to a end after assuming his dragon form.

"Very well." Erza nodded in agreement. "Where's Gray?"

"Right over there." Tyson pointed a clawed finger towards a nearby table. Gray had no clothes on.

"Gray, get dressed!" She demanded.

"Sorry!" Gray shouted, putting his clothes back on quickly.

"I need your help for another mission."

"Already?"

"Trust me, it's of the utmost urgency. In fact, we could probably use another team's assistance." Erza said as she looked around. "Where are the Thunder Legion?"

"Out on an S-Class Quest." Gray answered.

"Team Shadow Gear."

"They went to explore some ruins." Tyson explained.

"Alzack and Bisca?"

"Still hunting some outlaws near the Badlands border."

"…Team Young Mega-Death?"

"Are you serious." Gray said flatly. "They left this morning, so you just missed them."

"It can't be helped then."

"Looks like our team will have to handle it." Tyson stared down at her. He then stood straight up as fire surrounded him and he reverted back to his human form.
