Well finally managed to get this type so anyhow here I go. (I started this before they came back in the anime)
A funeral. One that caused many tears that day. The whole of fairy tail attended that funeral witch would confuse many a person who didn't no the full story. But you don't want to here about this yet so with out further ado the end of a ... life.
It was an ordinary day for fairy tail. Natsu and Gray were fighting, Erza was breaking them up and their blond hair companion was slumped over the bar. Nothing interesting had happened in weeks. After there battle with Oracion seis none of the other dark guilds had been active witch made them slightly nervous of what they were planning.
"Hey Lucy wake up" Natsu shouts.
"Huh what?" Lucy stutters waking up from her dream.
"Where going out want to come?" Natsu asks.
"Sure I guess" Lucy gets up and follows her companions out the guild.
They never. Made it as far as the door when three batted figures stumbled in. Standing there was three of the people they thought they would never see again. Oracion seis Midnight, Cobra and Angel. Quickly recovering they slipped into battle positions their attacks at the tips of their tongues.
However seeing the three made no effort to move they slightly slackened their stances.
"What are you doing her?" Lucy asks looking at the three who where leaning heavily on each other.
They never got the reply as they where pushed out of the way as Brain made his entrance.
"Hello Fairy tail" he announced walking into the place as if he owned it.
"Ice make lance," Gray says hurling the ice at Brain who just managed to dodge in time.
"Hey I'm just here to collect the traitors," he says attempting to drag the three out the guild.
"You're not going any where." Natsu shouts sending an attack hurtling at Brain.
The rest of the guild watched team Natsu fighting Brain.
"I thought you got arrested" Erza states.
"Well we escaped didn't we" Brain says while dragging what was left of his guild out the door with the only one able to fight struggling to get out o Brain's grasp. Brains grew tired of her struggles and proceed to knock her unconscious.
Not wanting to let Brain disappear from their sights or a minute team Natsu was following silently behind.
It had been a couple of hours before Brain came to a halt at a large building presumably their guild. Wasting no time Fairy tail surrounded him.
Tossing the three unconscious mages aside he began battle with the four. Unfortunately for Brain he was out numbered and his powers still hadn't quite recovered from the last battle with them. With fairy tail having won the battle surprisingly quickly their attention was then drawn to a soft groaning notice coming from the celestial spirit mage
Sitting up dizzily Angel looked over at team Natsu who where standing next to the more than likely dead Brain. Glancing at her to unconscious companions she rose unsteadily to her feet.
"Why where you in fairy tail anyway," Erza asks
The battered mage sighed and with nothing left to lose she began to tell her story...
She woke up the first thing that crossed her mind was they had lost. Everything they had been training for since they had escaped the tower had been wasted they where supposedly stronger then anyone else so how had they lost?
It was only then that she glanced up to discover the pieces of nirvana scattered across the forest (some of which where still smoldering). That was also when it register that she couldn't feel the others presence, the link had been severed meaning that she was all alone for the first time in years and she didn't like it.
Walking though the rubble like a zombie was when she discovered him. Cobra's body lying lifelessly on the ground partly covered by bricks and other debris; slightly panicked she franticly dug through the rubble till she had him totally uncovered. She then took a closer look she discovered the long cut going over his right eye and his other was glazed over but he was awake and staring.
"So we lost then?" angel nodded not knowing what else to say she dragged him to his feat. Letting out a grunt of pain every now and again they proceeded to stumble through what was left of nirvana concentrating fully on keeping each other upright they never noticed the body until it was to late resulting i'm them both sprawling on the floor.
~Present~
Cobra at that point decided to join in the conversation now that he was fully conscious.
~Flashback~
Cobra doing everything he could not to scream in pain as he hit the ground wished Cubelious was with him she would have easily carried them of this death trap.
Rolling over he glanced at what had sent them flying and was shock to find that it was Midnight. The white part of his hair now stained red as blood pooled around his body.
The two of them crawled painfully towards him. Angel checks for a pulse, finding a very weak one they sighed knowing how their journey had just gotten even harder. The two then provided to grab aside each and haul him along with them as they made there way painfully off nirvana.
That's when they spotted the rune knights hauling racers body and Hoteye into there carts and driving of they caught part of the conversation involving there body's not being located and they would need someone to collect them.
Shocked that they hadn't been looked for yet they took of further into the forest at a slightly quicker pace that was when they felt midnight stirring. Glancing down they stared at dull red eyes, well mostly Angels as she had known him the longest but that's not the point.
Sighing Midnight used what power he had left to cast an illusion to keep them hidden from the guards. That done they continued through the forest in search of some place to hide for the night. A couple of hours later they eventually found a small cave that they could use for the night.
Using a small puddle at the back o the cave they proceeded to clean and bandage their wounds with scraps of clothes that couldn't be saved. This was the one time wearing leather came in handy for the deeper wounds. Who knows I using them was a good idea or not they just needed to stop the bleeding especially as black dots where beginning to dance in front of his eyes well eye, he wasn't the only one trying desperately to stay awake for once Midnight didn't want to sleep as he was slowly slipping into unconscious well at least that was what cobra guessed he was trying to before he eventually slumped against the wall blood trickling from his mouth. Just after that his world went black as well.
The first thing he woke up to was pain and a lot of it. It felt like his whole body was on fire, gasping slightly he then remembered where he was, so he had made it though the night then. Slowly he took in his surroundings.
Angel was at the back of the cave drinking small amounts of what water they had left, then he realized that the pain had lessoned now he was actually awake mentally shrugging it of he crawled over to her.
"So your awake then?" she asked moving over so he could get at the water.
"And Mid?"
"Not good" she glanced over to a part of the small cave he had over looked before. There was Midnight curled up in a ball shaking slightly.
"He's been like that all night" was the only response he got to Midnights presence.
"You haven't slept?" shaking her head she proceeded to walk over to Mid to try and wake him up which properly wasn't the smarts idea in the world but hay it wasn't like they had much left to loose any way.
Stumbling to his feat he walked over as well
"Angel where going to have to move the council will be looking for us by now" he says pulling the girl to her feat.
"What about ..." She didn't need to finish that question as he attempt to wake the mage; getting know where fast the ended up dragging him out the cage broken ribs forgotten at least he attempted to ignore the fire spreading yet again across his body.
2 days later
"Angel I don't think he's going to make it's been days" Cobra sighs as they yet again attempt to wake Midnight with no success. "He lost to much blood"
"So did you" was Angel's response. Looking back down red eyes stared at them resulting in a slight gasp from Angel.
"Welcome back to the land of the living" was the thing he could manage to say.
1 week later
"Where are we going any way?" was the question on all of there minds, as they got further away from Nirvana. That was when they found Brain for the first time. The attack had been completely unexpected well not really but whom it was directed at was.
The only thing that had saved midnight was his reflector, which diverted the attack. They barely had enough time to react before Brain or zero they couldn't be quite sure hurled more attacks their way. This time the attack hit its mark sending them flying.
They where doomed or so he thought.
"Spiral pain!" was the cry that rang out though the forest bringing Brain to his knees.
"Run" he didn't need to be told twice he gabbed Angel and ran fast enough to make racer proud. Sure he hated the fact that he was so weak that he couldn't fight but even at full power he wasn't sure if he could of won that fight.
He collapsed against a tree panting. They waited and waited against better judgment until finally Midnight returned. That's when they noticed something was seriously wrong.
He was deathly pale, his lips void of there usual purple where rapidly turning blue before the eyes. Blood was trickling slowly out of his new wounds even though they where peaty deep.
"How the hell are you still alive?" he says him and angel just managed to catch him before he hit the ground.
Midnight needed blood and fast. The next few hours where a blur involving breaking in and out of a hospital and hiding in the woods of Magnolia before he even realized that his wounds had proper bandages and all three of them had actually survived the night.
"Where are we?"
"Magnolia " that was all he needed to realize angels plan.
"And that's how we ended up here." cobra concluded.
Fairy tail had no idea on what to do with the ex villains they couldn't leave them to die even after what they had done they where still human and in need of desperate medical attention.
They didn't entirely like the solution as they trudged back to the guild the three in tow, how could they trust them after everything they had put his nakama through he didn't think anyone would forgive them; but they needed help and that was the thing about airy tail they couldn't leave anyone to suffer.
It now seemed to be a common occurrence rehabilitating ex criminals plus they did try to save Jellal know matter how grudgingly. So that was how they all ended up at the guild with master talking to angel and Cobra.
Cobra and Angel then had to tell the master exactly how they ended up in Oracion seis in the first place, so they explained; all about the tower how Brain offered them a chance to escape and they took it and how Brain made a plan to make there need for revenge a reality. He also made them explain again how they had ended up in fairy tail in the first place, he had made up his mind they would be staying in fairy tail for a while and that while turned into months...
Well I apologise for any faults I tried to proof read but after months Iv given up so any way here it is.
