Sorry, I've been a little busy with my other stories, and there's also this little problem: Barely anyone is voting on the poll I put up on my profile page! I can keep asking and posting a few chapters, but eventually, I plan to have her grow up so I really need you guys to decide. I'll keep it up for a while longer, but still, I can't have it there forever. Just a reminder guys.
(Lisanna's POV)
Fairy Tail was the same as always. People were eating, drinking, laughing, and spending time with their family. Lisanna hoped it would stay that way forever.
"Lisanna! Have you seen the stupid knight?" A voice called to her, loud and demanding as always. But the owner of the voice, Mirajane Strauss, her older sister, was really a kind-hearted softie underneath. The older girl punched aside three tables and kicked another. Okay, DEEP underneath.
"No, I haven't actually. She went on a mission, so did Natsu and Gray. Nobody's here right now. Even Elfman decided to head out" Mirajane groaned and slapped her forehead, letting her hand slide down her face.
"Seriously? Even Elfman? Sheesh. Where's a good opponent when you need one?" Lisanna smiled brightly, and clapped her hands.
"Well, I'm sure they'll be back soon. They always are" Mirajane sighed dejectedly.
"I guess. HEY! WHO THREW THAT!?" A stray mug had slapped the elder sister in the face, and whenever Mirajane's blood pressure spiked, blood was bound to be shed. She grabbed the first person she found in the direction the cup had come from and punched him. The force of the blow knocked the poor man into Macao. His drink spilled onto the floor, the fresh booze ruined.
"Hey! I was drinking that!" Grabbing the nearby Wakabe and smashing his face, the senior of the guild smirked.
"That'll teach you to spill another man's drink!" Not knowing what was going on, Wakabe retaliated and sent Macao into the wall.
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" The people sitting at the table Macao had skidded off joined the fray. Like a lineup of dominoes, everyone involved whoever was close, causing the guild to erupt in chaos. Jugs of beer, chairs, furniture, utensils, and all sorts of things flew around the main hall. Lisanna sweat dropped.
'Uwaaah. As expected of my sister, the Demon. All this started with a cup' Fleeing the scene before the fight caught her, she ran to the bar, where currently, an elderly man was sitting at. Makarov Dreyar, the guild Master of Fairy Tail, an aged man with a kind personality and big heart. Although he considered everyone in the guild his family, he was still mega pervert. His trusty staff with a smiley face stuck its tongue at her.
"Master, everyone has started to fight again. Don't you think you should do something?" Looking up from his beer, and answering
"Mm. No, there's no need for that yet. They need to let loose once in a while"
Smack
A stray cup struck the Master's face. Lisanna gasped. Was that the same cup as earlier…?
"Let… Loose…" More cups.
Smack, smack, smack
"Let them…"
Sma—
"Stupid brats!" Makarov caught the next cup and threw it back. Out of the mess of members leaped Mirajane, laughing at her Master.
"Ha! Take that stupid geezer!" Makarov grabbed a few more mugs beside him and threw them at high speeds toward his laughing subordinate. Avoiding them with ease, she did a back flip and landed on her feet with grace.
"Hahaha! Beat that you—" The elder promptly nailed her in the face. Recovering quickly, she yelled "Hey! That was dirty!" Another barrage of cups. Mirajane twisted and avoided the rest.
"What do you mean dirty? You were laughing at it a second ago! That'll teach you, you little brat!" Enraged at being defeated at her own game, Mirajane reached for whatever she could on the floor, trying to find ammo for her own attack. She felt a tap on her shoulder.
"What? I'm busy," She grunted. A handful of the mugs and cups were handed to her, and Mirajane smiled wickedly. "Thanks, I owe—" Her smile dropped.
"You. Who are you?"
Slump
Mirajane's eye's widened and her aura exploded in anger and power. Three people falling to the floor had made the sound. And the ones with their faces to the ground were Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster and Lisanna Strauss.
(Natsu's POV/ About five minutes ago…)
"Well that was an easy mission. I still didn't find Igneel though" Natsu was calmly walking back to his guild, Fairy Tail. His feline friend, Happy the cat, was resting on his head, eating the ever present that he seemed to be able to pull out of thin air.
"It's okay Natsu. Next time. Fish?"
"Thanks buddy. Lisanna said that she would cook lunch when I got back, so maybe next time" Happy shrugged, and stuck the salmon back into his mouth.
"Okay den. Yur missin ou" The two walked in companionable silence, throughout the town, observing the lives of the normal civilians who couldn't utilize magic. Turning a corner, his eyes fell upon his guild. It was the same as always, big, bright, you could hear everyone yelling, and when you took a deep breath you could smell the…
Sniff, sniff, sniff
"Oi, Happy"
"Ah? Ou wan da fif? I alrae hav sum doe"
"No, never mind the fish for now. Was anyone scheduled to come to Fairy Tail today?"
"I don tink sho…" Natsu balled his fists and broke into a sprint, Happy instinctively taking flight.
"Rare ar ou oing?"
"There somebody there… Someone strong… And that person smells weird… Really weird… why do I smell Lisanna?" He ran ahead, sprinting as fast as he could, but as soon as he passed the last house, his vision turned dark and he fell.
(Mirajane's POV)
"Answer my question you bastard. Who. Are. You?" It was a person in a black cloak, covering his face and body. Not a hair of his features could be glimpsed. That wasn't what worried her. She didn't care if he had something to hide, or if they were ugly or self-conscious about some part of their appearance. What she was really worried about was the fact that this person had managed to sneak up on her without her realizing. But she didn't care. She was far too angry to even think anymore. He had hurt her family, and he would now pay.
"I wont ask again. Who are you?"
The man didn't answer. Fine.
"Satan Soul!" All other fighting stopped. What? Mirajane had activated Satan Soul? Where was the Master? He should've stopped her before she had gone out of control! Everyone turned their eyes to the Master's favourite spot and saw him muttering to himself about 'brats', a bruise forming on his head, with a mug beside him…
'Uh Oh…' Someone had knocked the Master out, and nobody else except Erza could stop her, but she wasn't here. They were in trouble. Mirajane let loose a roar.
"DIIIIIEEEEE!" The cloaked man crouched, ready for her. Starting the initiative, Mirajane swung a fist at him. The man disappeared, only to reappear twenty feet away, out of the guild. He moved to open space, where he had more options to attack. Smart, he really was good. But the Demon was also more suited to combat in the open. Flying after him, she blasted bolts of dark energy at him, and sending clouds of dust scattering everywhere. But when the fragments of earth settled, the man was unharmed. Charging again, Mirajane assaulted him wit ha fury of slashes and kicks.
However, the figure was agile and quick. He danced left and right, out of harms way. Growling in frustration, Mirajane did not permit herself to let up the offensive. Left, right, right, left punch, uppercut, low sweep, roundhouse, and bicycle kick. She channeled her anger into her body and reinforced her strength. But the figure either deflected or dodged, never taking a solid blow. This told Mirajane either his body was weak, or he was just messing with her. This only served to make her even more infuriated.
She encircled him, waiting for her chance. The man didn't react, so Mirajane seized her chance. The moment she got behind his back, she flew at him, foot claws extended. The claws tore at him… but snatched only bits of cloth. How…? The Demon looked up, and nearly being blinded by the sun, barely made out the shadow of the man. Arms out, legs perfectly straight, he preformed a flip as she had done herself a couple minutes ago, and landed in a perfect T position.
"DON'T MESS WITH ME!" She flew into the air and let loose a rain of black lightning. Almost faster than Mirajane could keep track of with her devil eyes, his legs sped up and ran in a path to avoid every tendril of electricity. Mirajane could see why Natsu, Gray, and her little sister had been defeated. But Lisanna had been in the guild the whole time with her… So that meant… He had snuck in, hurt her little sister, and made himself known to the strongest of the guild in minutes. But there was also Master. Why not attack him?
Letting the storm clear away, Mirajane glided back to earth. What could she do? He kept running away from her, not even being properly hit. He hadn't said a word, and that pissed off Mirajane for some reason.
"What is going on here?" Mirajane and the man both faced this new voice. She would never admit it, the girl had never been so glad to see the stupid knight in her life.
(Ezra's POV)
"Ezra…" The figure didn't say anything, but Erza looked at her rival and at the man. Mirajane wasn't hurt, but she looked somewhat drained and tired. The man didn't even look out of breath, much less injured. So, he was strong, and Mirajane had fought him off. She was about to ask the man to explain his business here in a calm fashion but then she noticed her three friends lying on the floor. Everyone watching felt a chilling feeling settle over their spines.
"Will you explain what you are doing here peacefully?" When he did not answer, Erza drew her blade and yelled at the watching group "Very well then. Somebody take care of those three!" She returned her attention back to the man. "I shall have you answer to my sword!"
Rushing forward, Erza drove him back, jabbing wildly. Her sword carved through the air in a final arc, forcing him to jump backwards… Right in front of Mirajane.
"I have you now!" Her fist connected to his spine, and he rocketed back to Erza, who used her sword's blunt end to finish the combo. The figure fell, Erza sheathed her weapon, and Mirajane let her form fade. The spectators cheered, the strongest women of Fairy Tail had defeated this unknown enemy! Rushing to their champions, the guild congratulated the two. Erza blushed and tried to wave the compliments aside, but Mirajane lapped it up like milk.
"Hahaha! Of course I did!"
They had won! Fairy Tail was the strongest! Fairy Tail was the—
"What are you guys doing?" Mirajane froze, and Erza was instantly alert. Spinning, she recognized Elfman standing there, looking confused and carrying groceries from the local supermarket.
"Elfman!" Everyone whirled around again. This time it was Lisanna. Mirajane tackled her with a hug, relief flushing over her that her family was alive and happy.
"I'm so glad your okay!" Imagine her surprise when Lisanna said
"Well you should be! I— Ah! Elfman!" Breaking away from her shocked sister, Lisanna ran into her brother's embrace. "I missed you! Why are you carrying groceries?" Hugging Lisanna back, Elfman said
"I'll tell you in a second…" Mirajane hissed and Erza reached for the hilt of her saber. The figure rose without using his limbs. He raised his hands… And Lisanna screamed.
Hehehehe… Cliffy is back… And better than ever…
