A magic circle opened, and Aquarius appeared.
"Fish!" Happy yelled excitedly.
"That’s not edible fish," Lucy muttered.
"Aquarius, use your power to push this ship to the shore," Lucy said, pointing to Hargeon Port.
"Little brat, I warn you again," Aquarius glared, "if you summon me from some weird place again, I’ll kill you."
"Yes!!" Lucy instantly cowered.
Finn went to the ship’s top deck. The fake Fire Dragon was floating on flames, trying to escape.
"Think you can get away?" Finn sneered.
He pushed off the deck. Boom! A massive force propelled him skyward. The fake Fire Dragon watched in disbelief as Finn rocketed towards him.
Finn grabbed the fake Fire Dragon’s head and flew towards Hargeon Port at high speed.
"Waaaaah!" The scenery blurred. Then Finn felt a sharp pain in his back.
Finn landed in Hargeon Port, slamming the fake Fire Dragon to the ground. A huge explosion of dust and debris erupted.
"Hmm?" Sensing something, Finn turned to see a massive wave rising from the sea.
"That girl’s pretty strong," Finn commented, jumping away.
The huge wave crashed into Hargeon Port, smashing the ship. Debris scattered across the port.
"You wanted to kill me too," Lucy, soaked and battered, said to Aquarius, who was floating before her.
Aquarius scoffed, "Little brat, don’t summon me again. I have a date with my boyfriend. A date with my boyfriend," she repeated for emphasis.
Then she disappeared.
"Lucy, your magic is so capricious," Happy commented.
Natsu, free from the ship, stood up, scratching his head. "Finally free, haha."
The thugs were also washed ashore. Seeing Natsu, they surrounded him.
"Natsu, behind you," Lucy pointed at the thugs.
"Huh?" Natsu grinned. "Perfect. Time to settle the score. You dared to offend Fairy Tail!"
"Natsu, be careful," Lucy warned, remembering his earlier seasickness.
Happy, on Lucy’s shoulder, ate a fish. "Don’t worry, Natsu’s strong."
"Heh, I’ll beat you all," Natsu said, a fiery magic circle appearing in his hands.
"Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist!" Flames erupted, and Natsu punched a thug, sending him flying into a crowd.
"Fire Dragon’s Roar!" A massive blast of fire engulfed the thugs.
"So...so strong!" Lucy stared, dumbfounded.
Happy waved. "There’s more. Look over there," he pointed at Finn.
Meanwhile, the fake Fire Dragon stood up, his face contorted in pain.
"Damn it, take this!" He raised his hands; a huge magic circle appeared, forming a giant fireball.
"Die!" He threw the fireball at Finn.
"That looks like Natsu’s Fire Dragon’s Brilliant Flame," Finn said, stroking his chin.
"Now’s not the time for that!" Lucy shouted.
The fireball fell. Lucy braced herself.
But Finn casually swatted it away. The fireball deformed, then shattered like fireworks.
The fake Fire Dragon’s eyes widened. "No way? This...this is impossible?"
"But it’s way weaker than Natsu’s," Finn shook his head.
Finn raised his hand, muttering, "Bakudō #31: Shakkahō (Red Flame Cannon)!" He could now use lower-level Bakudō without incantations. It was weaker, but enough for these thugs.
A red energy ball shot towards the fake Fire Dragon.
The Red Fire Cannon was incredibly fast. The fake Fire Dragon couldn’t escape.
Boom! A massive explosion rocked the area.
"Aaah!" Lucy’s face was distorted by the blast. She clutched her skirt.
Happy clung to Lucy’s clothes, swaying in the wind.
"Whoa! Finn’s still amazing!!" Natsu was excited. Only this level of destruction could excite him.
The explosion subsided. The fake Fire Dragon, smelling of burnt flesh, lay there, unconscious.
"Good job!" Natsu praised.
"You’ve gotten stronger, Natsu," Finn said, having watched Natsu’s fight. His destructive power had increased significantly.
"So strong..." Lucy stared, dumbfounded. Today had been a complete shock.
"But...this is excessive!!" Lucy looked at the destroyed Hargeon port. She’d heard Fairy Tail mages were destructive, but now she understood.
"Aye, that’s Fairy Tail," Happy proudly raised his paw.
"Aye?! What aye?!" Lucy cried in despair.
Finn put his hands on his hips. "Shoot, I went overboard."
Natsu was still laughing.
"Quickly, quickly! Surround the destroyers!" A voice called. Finn turned. "Trouble. The Royal Army’s here."
He slapped Natsu. "Stop laughing, run! The Royal Army’s here!"
Finn and Natsu ran, calling for Happy and Lucy.
"Why am I running?" Lucy cried, seeing the Royal Army behind them.
"Want to join Fairy Tail? Come with us," Finn called.
Lucy’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected to join so easily. She smiled, ignoring the soldiers.
"Aye!" Happy flew freely. Their figures disappeared.
Fairy Tail guild gates.
"Wow! This is Fairy Tail," Lucy said, awestruck.
"I’m finally joining Fairy Tail," she thought, excited.
Natsu kicked the door open, copying Finn.
"Aye, we’re back!" Happy shouted.
"Natsu, you caused a big incident in Hargeon port," a bucktoothed man said, leaning back.
Before he finished, Natsu punched him. Lucy stared, shocked.
"The Fire Dragon info was fake, you bastard," Natsu said, clenching his fist.
The bucktoothed man got up, annoyed. "I said it was a rumor. You went anyway."
"Want to fight, bastard?"
Bang! The bucktoothed man flew, knocking over tables.
"What the hell?! I’m drinking!"
"Want to die?!" Another Fairy Tail brawl began.
"Heh, these kids," Finn shook his head, looking at Lucy. "Don’t worry, it’s normal. Let’s go in."
Finn entered the guild.
"Ah! Oh," Lucy followed, clutching her luggage.
Inside the guild, tables, chairs, and glasses were flying. People were fighting.
"Wow, I’m really in Fairy Tail," Lucy thought, still slightly disbelieving.
"Heard Natsu’s back? Let’s continue our last fight!" Gray, shirtless, pretended to roll up his nonexistent sleeves, ready to join the fight.
"Is he a pervert?" Lucy whispered.
"Seriously, Gray, your clothes," Cana said, holding a wine glass.
"Huh? When?" Gray was startled; his clothes were gone again.
Lucy thought, "There are normal people here."
Cana sighed. "Such troublesome people." She drank from a wine barrel.
"Are you new?" Mirajane asked, carrying a tray.
Lucy turned, excited. "M...Miss Mirajane!!"
"Hi, Mirajane!" Finn greeted her.
"Finn, you’re back! Welcome home!" Mirajane smiled sweetly.
