Remember that Bane of Fairies story I had up? Well, I didn't like how it started so I took it down and replaced it with this story. I hope you all can understand, I get very critical of my work sometimes. Which is kind of why I decided to rewrite Crimson Hunter into Nightmares of Scarlet. Anyways, I got a few updates for you all in terms of my other stories. Chapter 6 for nightmares is still being worked on, it shouldn't take too long to finish up. I don't know much about Legends and its rewrite, all I know is that Jane is working on them as I'm writing this. So I will hopefully receive them sometime soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, I only own MY OCs

Enjoy Chapter 1!

(Bureau of Magical Development)

Despite what the average citizen may claim about the Bureau of Magical Development. Those inside the government, as well as a few within the bureau itself knew that it was corrupt to its very core. Constantly taking those with large amounts of magic power in for very painful experiments. Ripping them away from their families all to satisfy the endless desires of one crazed man. A man whose power and goal lied only in the search of a weapon long lost to history. A weapon capable to reversing light and darkness, Nirvana. A weapon built by the ancient race of Nirvit for use as a deterrent as well as their home.

"There's a power in there, I can sense it. A powerful rage left in check by the overseers of this facility. Wait for just a little longer Ultear, daughter of the Frozen Mistress. I'll come and free you soon. Then your rage and anger shall have a place to be released." A shadowed figure was walking to the facility. A black mist kept encircling him, each step killing the plant life around him. Causing him to stop for a moment as he took in this new sight around him. Frowning slightly at the death he had unnoticeably caused.

"Funny, I thought that Ankhseram would have been a little nicer around this time. Oh well, I guess I have to show him who's in charge again." Almost immediately the mist stopped flowing. Receding back into his body. Instead, a golden mist enveloped him. Restoring life to what was lost. The foliage returning to its natural state as he continued to walk towards the building.

"I wonder how you are doing right now, Mavis. Is your guild still as lively as it used to be? Has Zeref learned to control his curse at all? Or is he still in denial about everything that happened to him?" No response… such was typical in his case. To him the silence was calming, easing his already plagued mind to some extent. Having lived for as long as he had brought with its own batch of problems. Ones that could not be easily solved.

He kept walking onwards, not caring if anyone happened to be in his way. Numerous Council guards tried to stop him. But they were easily cast aside. Their power was nothing compared to his. To him, they were nothing but mere flies going against a whale. Annoying sure, but nothing endangering to the whale's life.

"Hey, where are you going? You aren't authorized to be anywhere near there!" One of the guards, Bakul stated in a foolish attempt to halt the supposed intruder. His attempt was meet with nothing more than a glare. There staring to the guard's very soul, were a pair of green almost hazel eyes. Which looked as if they have seen the world. Eyes which have seen things that no mere human should.

"Oh? Are you going to stop me? Please tell me how?" The figure turned around to face the Rune Knight. He wore Brown almost black clothes with a red sash on his left shoulder. His black hair colorless as the night sky. "Because from what I see now. You are powerless against me. You are but a measly Rune Knight, while I hold the power of gods at my beck and call. So, tell me, how do you plan on stopping me?" Almost instantly a black sphere formed itself on his hand. The mere sight of it was more than enough to cause the stoic knight to break his exterior and make a run for it. Desperate to save his own life. Unfortunately for him, however, his life would be ended this day. As the figure shot the sphere of death magic towards his retreating figure. It hit almost center mass, instantly ending the life of the poor Knight.

"Children these days." The figure began. "I swear they don't know how to respect their elders. I guess I can't blame them though. It's not often someone of my caliber would do something like this. Or that they would face someone of my ability." He kept walking throughout the facility. Drawing closer to the Rage he had felt earlier. Until eventually, he came upon a room. On the other side of the door, he could hear voices, voices seemingly giving instructions and making verbal recordings of whatever it was they were doing.

'The rage is strongest in here. I'm here for you Ultear, I'm breaking you out of this place. By the end of this day, you shall be free.' Thinking to himself, his mind began to process all the different scenarios that might occur. How everyone in that room might react to his entrance. All scenarios eventually led to one outcome. Ultear would be freed and under his care.

'I'm glad we spent as much time together as we did Mavis, without you teaching me what you did, this surely wouldn't be possible.' A smile graced his lips, a memory was returning to him. A memory of a time when he felt the most at ease.

(Flashback)

"Mavis, Zeref! It's been a while, how have the two of you been?" it was a meeting between friends. At least when they all still considered each other friends. In actuality, the three of them were nothing more than close acquaintances. Each having their own separate goals and ambitions. Each one wanting a different future not only for themselves but for the entire world as well. This was nothing more than a game, a game to see who could assemble the most pieces on their side of the board and make their dreams a reality.

"Rilan, Glad to see you! I take it everything is going well?" Mavis was the first to respond. Happiness evident in her voice. To her, Rilan was a close friend, the one who taught her how to control Ankhseram's curse. After the unfortunate events regarding the birth of her god-son Makarov, Mavis abandoned her guild, naming another friend of hers, Precht to be the successor. She knew the dangerous game the three of them were playing, and while Zeref and Rilian were planning to cover the world in darkness, at least in her eyes this was their plan. She wanted to banish all darkness from the world. To make it a place in which all light would be free to shine without fear of being snuffed out.

"Rilian." Zeref's reply, on the other hand, was simple. Courteous, but simple. As there was no need for formality at this state. It was obvious Zeref didn't want to be here, he was simply dragged here mainly by Mavis' sheer willpower.

(Flashback end)

The memory cut short for whatever reason. Whatever it was, it was unimportant. What mattered the most right now is that Rilian got his hands on another piece for the game.

"What will you do now Zeref?" Rilan spoke before claiming what was rightfully his. "One piece will soon be mine. And I have many more to come. Our game will soon reach its climax, who will win I wonder? You, Mavis or I?" With enough said, his plan commenced.

A mere punch was enough to blow the door off its hinges. Leaving a stunned crew of employees gazing at the sight before them. The first to recover was obviously the leader of their group. The man who would eventually come to lead the Oración Seis.

"Who are you, and why have you disturbed our experiment? I was in the process of creating a miracle!" a scoff could only be heard in response.

"A miracle you say? What costs does this so-called miracle bring? How many lives must be ruined before you are finished with all of this? I am here for one person, and one person only." Rilian walked to the glass window looking upon the chained-up girl before him. "This girl, who is she?" Of course, he already knows who the girl was. She was the source of the rage he felt earlier. But he wanted to hear it directly from them.

"This one? She's no one special. Just some child we took from the Milkovitch lady a while ago." One of the many employees replied. Not knowing the fate that would befall him for daring to bring her up.

"So, this is Ur's child am I mistaken?" Everyone hesitantly nodded in approval of his question. "As of this moment, I hereby claim her as my own. Release her at once and send her to the lobby. I will wait for her there."

"So, what if it's her child? What does that have to do with you?" That same employee was pushing his buttons. He did not know how close Rilian was to breaking and killing everyone present.

"It has more than you realize. I would suggest you quit talking if you wish to survive this encounter." Releasing his aura, he quickly brought everyone in the room to their knees. Everyone shaking in fear of the man before them. Powerless to do anything against him.

"If you will not release her, I guess I will have to go and do it myself." The control panel was simplistic in its design. Numerous button and screens littered its face. Each one showing different aspects of the experiment currently in progress.

"Ultear I know you can hear me so listen closely." He said in a comforting voice. The girls fear and anger dying down as he spoke. "I'm going to release you from this place. you're going to be free of this life." A smile graced her lips. A smile that had not seen the world for a long time.

(Bureau of Magical Development Lobby)

"so how does it feel to be out of those chains Ultear?" With the girl freed from her chains, it was obvious as to how much youth and energy the girl possessed. It was an energy he'd be sure to cultivate, while at the same time preparing her for the inevitable.

"This feeling, it's incredible! Do you think mom will want to see me again?" Ultear asked hoping she would be able to see her mother. Hoping that everything those people said about her was false. That she did, in fact, want to see her daughter again.

"There's no doubt in my mind about it Ultear. But first, do you really want to make her proud of you?" she almost bubbled with excitement at the mere prospect of making her mother proud! Ever since she was trapped in the facility, she was always told that her mother dropped her off here because she was a disappointment.

"Of course! I'll do anything in order to see her again!" Almost bouncing off the walls with energy and determination she committed herself to Rilian's tutelage. All in an effort to see her mother once again. To have something was denied for as long as she can remember. To have a loving family, a family that always supported each other no matter what situation they were in.

"Then come along young one, we have a lot to do and not a lot of time to get it done." Walking hand in hand, the two made their way out of the Bureau of Magical Development. Leaving behind a very shocked staff behind them. Every one of them confused as to what had occurred, none more so than the man who led the entire operation. He looked at that young man with faint interest. As if he knew him from somewhere.

(Unknown Guild Hall)

After a brief tour of her new home. Ultear quickly acclimated to the climate of guild life. Even going as far as to make some friends in some of the more senior members. Rilian was off attending to guild business, which unnerved her a little. But her new friends managed to entertain her.

"Ultear! How do you like the guild? Think you can see yourself among us in the future?" With stars seemingly in her eyes, the young maiden quickly and eagerly recounted all of the experiences she had with the guild members. Showering everyone in the guild with praise and compliments.

It was a half-hour later when she eventually calmed down enough to where a normal conversation could be maintained. By then, it was late in the evening and most of the guild had already returned to their homes for the night. Leaving only Ultear and Rilian remaining in the Guildhall.

"Since I doubt you have a place to stay for the night Ultear, how about you come with me. I'm sure we could find some sort of living arrangement at my place." Without a second thought, Ultear accepted. Knowing that tomorrow she would begin a process that would change her life in ways she could never have expected.

So Ultear was released the Bureau, does it change the story in any dramatic fashion? I guess we'll find out together.

Hope you have a wonderful Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone and I'll see you in the next chapter!
