Chapter 17
The Truth
The scene opens up showing Marcus, Zero, and Zulios standing on the roof of Fairy Tail. "Well?! Answer the question, Zero!" Marcus yells. Zero takes a few steps back. "You shouldn't even know about that!" Zero yelled back. "Well I do know! Now answer the question, Zero! Why did you kill Jessica?!" Marcus asked with rage. "I can't tel you, Marcus! You're my friend but I can't tell you!" Zero replied. Like a flash Marcus runs at Zero and grabs his neck. "Answer the question, Zero!" Marcus then yells. "She... She isn't the girl you all knew and thought she was, she was evil!" Zero answered. "Evil?! Did you just say evil?! Zero, she was one of the nicest people in the whole guild!" Marcus replied. "See, I told you! I can't answer you because you I knew you wouldn't understand!" Zero yells. Marcus lets go of Zero and begins pacing. "This makes no sense! Explain yourself, Zero." Marcus ordered. "She's the daughter of the man we saw back at the cave.." Zero said. "Karagshi?" Marcus asked. "No.. That strange man we saw, the one who came and got him." Zero said. "Okay, and how do you know this?" Marcus asked. "Well, I was walking by her house and she was in there talking with him, I heard them talk about domination, an killing everybody and restarting with an empire... I had to do something and that's the only thing that came to mind." Zero explained. "What if they were just talking nonsense?" Marcus asked. "It doesn't matter anymore! I was right, I did the right thing!" Zero answered. "But it doesn't mean she was evil!" Marcus yells. "Just face it, Marcus! She was evil! If she wasn't, then why would her dad talk to her about that stuff? Answer that, Marcus!" Zero yells. "Okay, well exp-" Before Marcus could finish, Noah bursts through the roof and charges at Zero. "Explain why you attacked Mariah!" Noah yells as the scene darkens.
