Arriving at Fairy Tail

The next day...

Tyson and Lucy stand in front of a pair of doors.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Lucy." Tyson said, before opening the doors.

"This place is awesome." Lucy added, awestruck at the sight of the building.

"I know, right." Tyson had a smirk form on his face.

After entering the guild, he approached a buck-toothed man sitting at a table.

"Hey, Krov. Thanks for passing that rumor along. Turns out 'Salamander' was a slave trafficker."

"No problem." Krov replied.

Crowded around the request board was a black-haired young man, a kid with arrow tattoos, two dark-skinned siblings, and a young man with a burn scar on the right side of his face.

It was then the black-haired young man felt a unfamiliar presence standing behind them and turned to see Lucy.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" He asked after turning around.

"No you don't, my name's Lucy." Lucy introduced herself.

"I'm Ash Ketchum. Around the guild I'm known as the Light Dragon Slayer." His fist was covered in bright light.
