Hi guys this is a new story hope you enjoy.

There is a legend, a legend that tells of a terrible dark mage. A mage so deadly and powerful even more so then Zeref will return and rise in power one day. His name: Nii Kokushi. He is a mage that uses evil magic In his time it was said that he caused havoc and chaos in cities and towns acroos Earthland; everyone feared him. He collected followers. People joined him out fear, respect, a thirst for power. He would make people fear him and tore families apart. The king of Fiore at the time tried to put an end to his destruction so he challenged Nii to a battle to the death. Unfortunatley the King lost and was destroyed by the first blow. But the Kings sister a very powerfull mage who posseses very powerful light and healing magic battled him and managed to defeat him for now. A few weeks later she realised that he wasn't fully destroyed. He came back as a soul one night. (a/n Like Mavis's ghost but with a light colour blue to his ghost.) He attacked her. Just before he killed her, she gathered the last of her magic and casted a spell on a certain person that she knows they would defeat Nii Kokushi.

"Wow that's some story Lucy." Hsppy said flying up next her. The team were on their way back from a job.

"I know, it's one of the oldest legends of Earthland."

"So where did you even get the book Luce?" Natsu asked who had just earned a dong on the head from Erza for fighting with Gray who just looked as pissed off and sore as Natsu.

"Oh I got it from the man who owned a shop in the town we were in as a thank you present." Lucy explained.

"So what happened to Nii Kokushi in the end?" Erza asked.

"Oh it says that he disappeared after the King's sister had died."

"Mhm." Erza replied.

"So how do we know who this supposed person to be the one to defeat Nii Kokushi if he will ever rise?" Gray questioned.

"Well it doesn't really say anything much but appearently a few hundred years later Nii Kokushi came back and attacked a town. One partically family he attacked a man who was protecting his wife. Unknowingly to him the Kings sisters spell that she casted upon Nii was that a certain spell he would use to attack someone which was that man, would enable one of that man's descendants would finally be able to finish him off." She replied. She took a deep breath. The others looked at her speechless.

"But know one exactly knows who the descendant might be though." She finished.

"But it's only a legend so Nii Kokushi might not actually return at all. He's gone." Natsu said with a smile.

"Yeah we already know that firebreath, we were juat curious." Gray said with his hands in his pockets looking a little distracted.

"What did you just call me popsicicle?" Natsu asked getting ready into battle stance.

" You heard me." Gray replied coming out of his thoughts.

"BOYS I told you before NO fighting. How many times am I going to have to say it until it gets stuck in your heads." Erza glared at them before returning to look ahead. They walked in silence for a while until Erza realised that Gray seemed deep in thought of something.

"Hey Gray is everything ok." Erza asked the others turned to look over at Gray. He looked up and blinked.

"Sorry what?" Gray questioned.

"I asked if you were alright." she replied.

"Oh yeah. I was just thinking that I thought that legend sounded familiar to me before and I just remembered where I heard it before that's all." He replied with a smile.

"Where did you hear it before?" Licy questioned. The others looked curiouse too.

"Oh just when I was little. One night my Mum read that story to me. Back then I thought it was pretty cool that someone was going to save all of Fiore one day." He chuckled. The others smiled and laughed with him except Natsu who smirked.

"I thought that you didn't believe that he wasn't gonna come back so that it doesn't matter if there is anyone going to save Fiore." Natsu smirked. A tick mark appeared on Grays head and he glared at Natsu.

"This was when I was about 5 years old dammit." and they headbudded again.

Lucy, Happy, Wendy and Cala all sweatdropped.

"Oh my" Cala said.

"And there at it again" Lucy said.

"That's Natsu and gray for you." Wendy stated.

"Aye."

Erza sighed. "BOYS!" The boys stopped there argument right away.

"Yes ma'am!" They shouted and weapped there arms around their shoulders and walked on.

After an hour and a bit they finally arrived back at the guild.

"WE'RE BACK EVERYONE!" Natsu shouted as he barged into the guild.

"Welcome back everyone. How did the job go?" Mira asked

"It was a piece of cak. That dark guild was a joke." Natsu replied as the team sat down at one of the tables.

"Appearently there wasn't a whole lot of them as it said on the flyer." Lucy explained.

"It was a bit strange though." Erza regarded.

"What do you mean Erza?" The Master questioned who was sitting on the bar drinkjng a beer.

"I don't know it seemed too easy." She replied.

"Maybe it was just that: easy." Gray said as he ordered his dinner.

"Mmmh maybe. I'll have a strawberry cake please Mira." She smiled at her and Mira smiled back.

"Coming right up Erza." And with that she went off while the rest of the team conversed into a conversation.

A few hours later Gray got up off the floor and announced that he was going to go home for tthe night.

"See ya Snowflake." Natsu groaned. "Come back in the morning so then we can finish this draw." He said as he got up with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah with me winning it." Gray smiled.

"Why you-" Natsu was about to say but got cut off.

"I'm heading out now. Night." He waved at the guild and the others all replied with good nights and nights.

Unknown to Gray as he stepped out of the guild he was being whatched.

"Are you positive that's him Master?" Questioned the cloaked figure.

"Yes. I am positive." The man through the lacrima smiled as the cloaked figure turned it off and followed Gray.
