Hargeon Encounter

A very muscular young man, around 18 years old stood on a pier staring out towards the ocean. He had long brown hair, blue eyes and a series of scratches on his chest.

His name is Tyson Dragneel and he's a long-time member of the Fairy Tail guild.

A small blue cat that had a green mark on his back and carried a sack floated to his right. This is Happy, Tyson's long time companion.

Years earlier, he helped hatch Happy from a egg alongside several of his guild mates.

Tyson then sighed out loud to himself and dropped to all fours.

"Form Change! Dragon!" He yelled as he transformed into a dragon.

This particular dragon had dark red scales and a yellow belly. A large pair of wings sprouted out of his back along with a long tail. After the transformation, he looked down at Happy.

"So, according to the information we received from Krov back at the guild hall Salamander is somewhere in Hargeon." He noted as steam poured out of his mouth. Tyson then stood straight up on his back legs while in his dragon form.

With a mighty flap of his wings, fire then surrounded him as he reverted back to human form.

"Now then, let's start looking." Tyson declared, narrowing his eyes in anger. No one was going to impersonate him and get away with it.

A good place to begin the search was in the city. If the impostor was found, they were going to learn a very painful lesson.

In a different part of town, a buxom blonde-haired woman approached a counter.

"Excuse me." She called out to the shopkeeper. "I'm looking for Celestial Spirit keys. Do you have any?"

"That's quite the odd request. There's currently only one in stock." The man said. He then presented a Gate Key, causing her to gasp in delight.

"Aw, it's the little doggie!" She happily squealed.

"Are you sure you want that? It's not very powerful." The shopkeeper informed her.

"That doesn't matter!" The blonde-haired woman hollered.

"How much does it cost?" She asked.

"It's worth 20,000 jewel." This caused her to frown before she slid a hand through her hair. It was her way of being seductive.

"Aw come on, surely you can lower the price."

"It's still 20,000 jewel."

She walked away from the counter in a huff.

"I can't believe he only knocked off a thousand jewel. So much for using sex appeal to try and cut the price." She hissed.

Then two girls ran past her in a hurry.

"It's really Salamander?" One girl asked the other.

"Yeah!" The other girl nodded.

"Wait, Salamander?" The blond-haired woman questioned as her eyes lit up. "As in the S-Class wizard from Fairy Tail who uses a type of Fire Magic that can't be purchased."

She followed them to a crowd of girls surrounding the Salamander. She immediately saw a man performing tricks with fire magic. Her heart began beating like crazy as she looked at him. He was so handsome.

"Would this be what they call love at first sight?" She wondered aloud.

"You are incredible Salamander!" Many of the women cried out.

"Hey." A brown-haired man broke through the crowd and stared at Salamander.

"So, you're the one huh." He grabbed Salamander and threw him to the ground roughly.

"No one is going to impersonate me." The brown-haired man gritted his teeth.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name's Tyson Dragneel and I'm the only one who should be called Salamander."

Needless to say, the fake 'Salamander' was shocked to see the real one.

Tyson then got a good look at 'Salamander'.

"I think I've seen you somewhere before." Reality sunk in.

"You're Bora the Prominence! Now I remember. You're wanted for abduction and human trafficking."

"What?!" The blonde-haired woman gasped in shock. She then became enraged with this revelation.

"You're a slave trafficker!" The blonde-haired woman shouted.

After Bora was knocked to the ground, the spell on the other women wore off. They looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

"What are we doing here?" The women asked, confused.

"This guy is the reason you're here. He was trying to abduct us and sell us off as slaves!" The blonde-haired woman hollered. Their eyes widened in shock before they all proceeded to beat him up.

"Thanks." The blonde-haired woman said in appreciation.

"No problem. I received information from one of my guild mates that Salamander was in Hargeon and came to check it out." Tyson explained.

"What's your name anyway?" He asked.

"I'm Lucy." The blonde-haired woman introduced herself.

"My name's Tyson Dragneel." Tyson introduced himself as well. Lucy then started to leave.

"Hey, hold on a second." He called out causing Lucy to stop in her tracks.

"Are you looking for a guild to join?" Tyson asked.

"Actually, yes I am." Lucy answered.

"I can help with that." Tyson grabbed her arm and led her out of the city.
