Chapter Two – The Formation of Fairy Tail

"Always speak politely to an enraged dragon."

"Who the hell are you and why are you on my island?"

Acnologia stared down the two invaders who almost definitely did not live on Tenroujima.

"This is your island?" the slightly-intimidating (to anyone other than Acnologia) blonde inquired.

"Yes."

No.

It was technically Mavis's. And maybe Zera's, but she wasn't exactly real.

They didn't need to know that, however.

"Uh..." the dark haired one stammered.

Acnologia glared at them. "Get. Off."

They exchanged a look.

Acnologia rolled his eyes. After his time alive, he was easily able to recognize what they were. "The orb was stolen years ago, so get off my damn island, treasure hunters."

That got a reaction from them, and he had to admit that it was entertaining.

He didn't exactly get much entertainment nowadays, seeing as he mostly watched over children.

They exchanged a look again.

"We will take our leave," the blonde said. "However..." he hesitated. "First we must pick up our comrade."

Acnologia's expression darkened. "What?" he growled. "There's someone else on the island?"

He had smelled the third person on them, but had figured that they had just left them on their ship, in order to man the boat. It seemed unlikely for one to split from two unless he was incredibly strong.

His teeth clenched. Mavis could take care of herself now, but it still worried him.

"What is happening here?" Acnologia growled from the doorway.

"I was kicking his butt!" Mavis explained enthusiastically, shouting and pumping a fist up in the air.

He gave the third member of their group, a blonde kid, a look up and down. "Seems fine to me," he grunted.

Mavis rolled her eyes. "In a battle of wits, not a physical fight, Ac-nii!"

The blonde man started laughing. "Your name is Acne?"

Needless to say, the wall Acnologia punched him towards did not survive.
