Perfection

Nobody is perfect in this world. Everyone has their own flaws, it's what makes us human. But what if there was a way to be perfect. A way to fix the flaws that the average human has. What if I told you that we have found a way to cure that imperfection…

March 18, 2029

Location: Magnolia's army base

(3rd person pov)

"Are we all set to launch Project Blackbird"

"Almost captain! We just need you to pick a squad to go infiltrate. After you have picked one we will be ready to go."

The scarlet haired captain nodded at her ally as she went over to her desk and looked through her files.

"I need to find the best soldiers for this mission we can't have recruits handle this job"

She opened up the first file, on the file it showed a pink haired male with a white scarf around his neck. Below the picture it read..

Name: Natsu Dragneel

Age: 18

Rank: S-Rank

Summary: After his dad, Igneel Dragneel died in the battlefield. Natsu decided to become a soldier to follow in his father's footsteps. He aced his physical exam but failed his written exam. He is really good with fire and hand to hand combat, but he is still accurate with an assault rifle. Just like his father he is also a pyromaniac.

"He is a perfect candidate for this mission, now I just need three more"

She picked up another file that was next to Natsu's. When she opened it she saw a blonde haired girl with chocolate brown eyes.

Name: Lucy Heartfilia

Age: 18

Rank: A-Rank

Summary: After her mother died due to cancer Lucy Heartfilia enlisted to be a soldier. She calls the army her "Second home". She is friendly and is very cooperative around other soldiers. She might be listed as an A-Rank but she has the skills of an S-Rank soldier.

"If she does have the skills of an S-Rank soldier than that means I found myself another soldier. Great only two more."

She put Lucy's folder off to the side as she picked up the one that was below hers.

Inside the folder was the picture of an ink haired male without a shirt on.

Name: Gray Fullbuster

Age: 18

Rank: S-Rank

Summary: Gray has shown some pretty excellent skills during his exams. He is focused and has only one objective in his mind. To get the job done. He has never retreated, he always comes back with information or kills. He is perfect for winter and snow missions as the cold temperature does not affect his body.

"This mission is going to take place in a cold environment so that means Gray will be perfect for the job."

She put Gray's file next to Natsu's and Lucy's.

"Now all I need is one more soldier."

She searched through her cabinets and randomly pulled out a file. This one had a picture of a bulky man with spiky yellow hair inside of it.

Name: Laxus Dreyar

Age: 21

Rank: S-Rank

Summary: Laxus is the most intimidating person that the army has well besides Gajeel Redfox at least. Laxus is very good with technology and hacking. He is also very good at interrogating enemies. His goal is to become a Captain just like his grandpa. With his skills and personality he'll become a Captain in no time.

"If he's Captain material then that means I have to put him on this squad"

"Lt. Mcgarden!"

"Yes Captain Scarlet!"

"Send Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, and Laxus Dreyar to the planning room I have a mission to discuss with them."

"Yes ma'am!"

"I'm glad you could all make it here on such short notice"

"No problem Captain" everyone responded simultaneously

"Now you're all probably wondering why I called you all here"

"Is it a mission?!" Natsu shouted as he kept jumping up and down on his cheer with bright eyes.

"Yes as a matter of fact it is"

"Yosh! I'm all fired up!"

"I respect your enthusiasm Natsu but I want you take this mission seriously, if you guys mess up who knows what will happen".

"So what's the mission?" Gray asked

The Captain cleared her throat

"We have received intel on the Red Death's location from an anonymous source"

"THE RED DEATH!" everyone screamed except Laxus making the Captain flinch.

"Yes, i'm surprised you guys know about them"

"How could we not know about them? They're basically the biggest threat to the country right now" Lucy said while calming herself down

"Yes exactly and that is why we have to infiltrate their base and take them down"

"But didn't you say that you received the intel from an anonymous source?" Laxus questioned the Captain

"Yes I know that we can't completely trust this intel, hell it might even be a trap, but we have to take this chance"

Everyone stood there in silence pondering whether or not they should accept the mission or not.

"Fine i'll do it" Gray and Laxus answered

"Me too!" Lucy joined in

"I'll do it too but on one condition" Natsu started

"And what would that be?"

"That Lucy" He pointed at the blonde "Stays behind all of us at all times. No matter what you can not make her go ahead of us".

"NATSU! you're embarrassing me. I can take care of myself! I'm A-Rank after all!"

"Yes I know that Luce but I have a feeling that this mission is going to be really dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt" Natsu had pure worry in his eyes.

"Natsu I don't want you to get hurt either that's why i'm willing to do anything to help you guys out"

Natsu sighed as he closed his eyes

"Alright i'm in when do we start?"

"You guys move at dawn"

"Aye ma'am!" everyone cheered

"Alright dismissed!"

The four soldiers left the room and headed their own separate ways to get ready for the mission except Natsu and Lucy.

"Hey Luce?"

"Yeah Natsu?"

"Can we go on a date when this mission is over? I want to take you to a fancy restaurant." He sheepishly smiled

Lucy blushed as she tried to calm herself down.

"Ok" was the only thing she could squeak out

"Alright! Then let's get this mission over with quickly so we can go on our date."

Lucy blushed madly as he said the word date.

"Great now i'm not going to be able to concentrate on the mission thanks a lot Natsu".

March 18, 2029

Location: Near the top of Mt. Gold

(Natsu's pov)

"Alright listen up guys I want you to breach that building right in front of you. Try to be fast and quick we don't want them to alert their reinforcements."

"Copy that Captain, we are now engaging"

Gray gave everyone a nod as we all readied our weapons.

"Move out" Laxus whispered, as we all started to slowly creep up to the gray beat up building.

I don't know why but I had a bad feeling about this.

"Natsu stop spacing out!" Gray shouted/whispered at me.

"Sorry"

We reached the building and got into our positions.

"On my mark"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Laxus blew up the door with a C-4 as I covered my eyes. Once the door was down we moved in. I aimed my assault rifle as we slowly crept in.

"Watch your sixes" I whispered to them while keeping my focus on the area around me.

"Why do I still have a bad feeling about this?"

I headed to the door that was closest to me. I kicked it down and rolled inside while aiming my gun at every corner.

"This is strange, there's nobody here"

I frantically searched the room for any sign of life but to my luck I didn't find anything.

"This has got to be some sort of setup"

I ran back to the entrance where I regrouped with my squad.

"There's nothing to report here Captain!"

"Dam it! I guess the intel was wrong. Good job anyways we're sending a helicopter to escort you out of there."

"Copy that Captain"

"So does that mean we're heading home?"

"According to the Captain yes we are"

"Well that's a relief-"

*BOOM!*

"What the hell was that!"

"It sounded close everyone put your guard up!"

I shielded Lucy and readied my assault rifle.

"I have to keep calm….. no matter what"

My eyes widened as I saw a small gray ball fly into our room.

"Grenade! Get to cover!" But there was no cover so I hugged Lucy and pulled us both down as I covered our heads. Hoping that we would be safe.

"It's not blowing up maybe it's a dud?" But instead of hearing an explosion I heard a really weird cybernetic sound. I looked up and saw that the gray little ball was emitting a weird blue light around us.

"It's not a grenade…. it's a trap!"

Natsu tried to get up off the ground but he couldn't his body felt like it weighed eight hundred pounds.

"I knew it….. This is a gravity ball. It makes the gravity around us heavier. But why would they trap us like this?..."

"Everybody stay calm!" Laxus yelled out as he tried to move

My back shivered as I heard a soft chuckle and footsteps coming closer to us.

"Humans are pathetic" a man with a mask over his face walked in front of us with two soldiers right behind him.

"They're well armed"

"Look at you guys you fell for one of my most basic traps. Now you're all squirming trying to break free. But the human body cannot do that. Humans are not capable of doing anything significant."

"What is he talking about?"

"What's your endgame here!" Gray yelled out as clenched his teeth

The mysterious man chuckled "I set this whole thing up because I need specimens for my research".

"Specimens?" I questioned

"Yes but don't worry you guys won't feel a thing because I need you guys dead to conduct these experiments" he said as he pulled out a shiny gray revolver.

"Now who should I kill first?"

"Fuck! My gut was telling me the truth. This was a bad idea."

"You're not going to kill anyone!" I yelled as I tried to reach for my pistol that was hidden next to my leg.

"Dam it! I can't reach it"

"Oh yeah….. Watch me!" he said with pure evil in his eyes. He pointed the gun at Laxus.

"NO YOU CAN'T!" Lucy yelled out while tears streamed her cheeks. Her yelling made the mysterious man smile in joy like he wanted this.

*Clack!*

"LAXUS!" the trio yelled out as the saw a bullet wound on Laxus's forehead.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL MAKE YOU-"

*Clack!*

"GRAY!"

"Why is this happening!"

Lucy was crying in agony as I tried to move next to next her

"It's no use…. I can't move"

"This is actually pretty fun, seeing you pathetic humans die" he started to walk over to Lucy and I.

"I have to do something I can't let him kill all of us"

He aimed the gun at Lucy's face

"NO DON'T YOU DARE SHOOT HER!"

"Don't worry after all this you all will be perfect" he said with a devilish grin.

Lucy was frozen with fear

"I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Goodbye….. Natsu" I heard her whisper

"C'mon body move! MOVE!"

*Clack!*

"LUCY! NO!"

I felt paralyzed as I saw her lifeless body fall to the ground. My heart felt like it exploded and I wished it did.

"Why?...WHY!"

"YOU BASTARD!"

Tears started to flow out of my eyes. I felt like there was no reason to live anymore which didn't matter anyways because I was going to die any second now anyways.

"And then there was one" the mysterious man said as he put the barrel of the revolver on my forehead.

"GO AHEAD AND SHOOT ME YOU LITTLE PRICK!"

"Gladly" was the last thing I heard….. followed by a gunshot.
