Hey! I recently read the fairy tail chapter about the brief past of one Minerva Orlando and I decided to make a fic that shows my take on her childhood. Minerva is just a lonely girl and I wanted to give her someone who can be her shield or something like that.

So yeah, hope you enjoy this.

Warning: First chapter will and might offend you, it has racism towards Arabs, but just the islamist and not the Arab people themselves

/MADNESS/

It was all my fault, I shouldn't have ordered my squad to check out the village. It was all an ambush from the resistance, fucking Al-Qaeda shits. These assholes came from nowhere and started spraying their bullet on us. I cursed whenever I saw my soldiers, my friends drop dead to the ground. Screams of agony pierced through my eardrums along with the sounds of bullets and grenade explosions.

I ran and took cover behind a car, this was not how things were supposed to go. I was just doing a routine check with my boys and we never prepared to what was to come at us. Suddenly, pain erupted from my left shoulder as I screamed from the burning sensation. I groaned and got up, using the car as cover. There was no point hiding anymore, we're dead either ways.

I started shooting at anybody who's moving and running around the compound, I saw one of my guys getting himself in a pit when he got two arabs coming to his right. I aimed my nozzle at them and pulled the trigger. They dropped down dead but in a flash, I had to grin at that. They deserved it anyways.

I took cover again and looked around the vicinity. We were in a small town at the open area where buildings surround it. I knew that we were at a disadvantage since they have a bird's eye view of everything but luckily for me, some of my boys managed to get under the buildings or by throwing their grenades into the windows and I once again felt a rush of adrenaline in my veins when I see those brown skinned fuckers scream their lungs off when they saw the 'nades inside the building with them before the explosion continued their everlasting scream.

A member of the Al-Qaeda suddenly screamed out in anguish when he saw his partner got shot down and I saw at the corner of my eyes, he's dead. I rolled my eyes when I saw him praying to his fallen friend.

I had no qualms killing the solider but I did not pull the trigger, he's praying and I respect that. I am no racist towards any arabs, only to the radicals. I don't believe that every muslim Is a terrorist since there are people who can even compete with these people. Take for example school massacres and things like that. Those things may be small to some but to me, it's a big thing. It hurts me so much if I see people hurting civilians when suddenly, I felt that I was lifted up from my feet and landing on the ground.

My ears were ringing as I tried my best to comprehend what just happened. I saw two of my sergeants coming up to me; grabbing my body to behind a building where I dizzily see a medic tending to another soldier I couldn't recognized because of how much his face was covered in burns, blood and dirt.

"Come on Sir, stay with me!"

"J-Jones?" I rasped out, I see him nodding his head rather happily when he heard me spoke.

"Yes Sir, you've got to stay with me. You've got to stay awake okay?"

"My legs, I can't feel them. Are they blown off or what?"

The man didn't reply back to me, it was enough to know what the answer was. I sighed and just chuckled tiredly, I was in my own world just now and it led me to this situation. When the exhaustion has taken a toll on me, "Sorry man," I felt my eyelids getting heavy and I knew that my time is almost up, "Tell my kids that daddy's not coming back."

I felt his hands on my shoulders, prompting me to stay awake. I felt a tear rolled down past my cheek, I'm such a bad father. I really am. They are barely five years old and the both of them are not going to see their dad anymore.

That fact alone made my chest tightened, this is too heart breaking for me. Fucking shits, I started crying on the spot as I slowly close my eyes and nothing. No pain and no feelings. I felt as though I was free from my burdens.

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a white room, filled with nothing but a very long and large conference table and two chairs on each of the opposite ends, but what got my attention was a blonde haired man with a well-built body with a model's face sitting on one of the chairs. I gave an incredulous look to which he smiled back and brought his hand out and urged me to sit on the chair opposite from him.

I nodded my head and sat down on said chair, "Mind telling me where I am?"

He chuckled and took out several sheets of paper from out of thin air and I raised my eyebrow, probably some kind of magic trick. He read through it and said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask me but I'm a busy man Zachary. To put it short, you are in the void where all deceased goes to have judgement pass to them in order to decide their fates."

"Wait, so you're god or what? His angel?" I know that asking him that I'm dead is a rather dumb question; of course I knew I was already dead. The thing back at Afghanistan is real enough for me. I'm Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ but this man here doesn't look like anything compared to Jesus himself.

The blonde entity chuckled once again at my question, "I'm the former but let's not get too ahead of yourself boy. Now, if I may continue, I need to pass your judgement."

I nodded my head, waiting for him to pass whatever he wants to give to me. All I just hope for isn't hell cause reading the bibles and books like that explained that hell is one of the most fucked up places.

He looked at me straight in the eye, his blue ones to my hazels. He placed the paper down and continued, "After reading your life story, regardless of how many you have killed during your time in the world of the living, you have still done things for the benefit of the world, I decided that you will be given three options like everybody who passes this judgement. One is that you will go to paradise which is Heaven itself or start anew. You can rebuild your life and start your adventure from there or go back into the world of the living and stay by your family's side? Any questions?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, "What do you mean go back? Didn't the bible did say that you would send us straight to heaven. There was nothing stated about all this start afresh and returning back thing."

He looked at me with much amusement, "The bible is always wrong boy, they were just too lazy to explain the other two options that I had just explained. After all, these judgements were written in the original bible that is lost in the depths of Arab."

I sighed. I cannot comprehend the size of these types of things.

"So what is your choice Zachary, we don't have all day and I'm a very busy man."

I gave myself a moment to think, sure going to heaven would be great but it's just too easy, I love adventures, starting anew sounds promising. I'll ask to that later but going back to my family is tempting. I want to see my kids again but I know that if I were to return, I'll only burden my wife and everyone else. I'm afraid my kids wouldn't want me all because I'm crippled. I closed my eyes and decided on the second option. To start afresh, "I've decided, I want to start all over."

He gave me a smirk, "I knew you would choose that. So, before anything, I want you to write in your particulars and details of your next trip in a new world."

A pen and paper appeared on the table as I wrote what I wanted. I actually had many to choose from, I'm what you call a total nerd in a hottie's body. I love anime and manga so freaking much so I decided to choose the world of anime but I would also like going to go to the Star Wars universe or maybe the world of Bleach. Oh I have so many choices to choose from. I can be a hero, a saviour but then, a certain fairy-like mark reminded me of this certain series.

I wrote down Fairy Tail and with that the paper disappeared once again; to be honest I chose those words since it is a great anime and manga I wanted to go there and maybe join the Fairy Tail guild and become a guild master. I stopped reading the manga during the three way battle with Kagura, Erza and Minerva.

My job takes up most of my time.

Speaking of Minerva, the woman's a bitch. I hate her from the very beginning and it pisses me off to what she did to Lucy. My musings halted when god coughed to get my attention. I gazed over to him and smiled.

"Now since that is done, it was a pleasure talking to you Zachary. But before I leave, do you have any questions?"

I nodded my head and blasted away, "What happened after the firefight, what will happen if I decided on the third option and is this for the better? What will happen to my family?"

He chuckled at me and eyed me over his shoulder, "Greedy boy aren't you but oh well." He turned around and faced me, "The fight ended with only five survivors and justice was served, the man who initiated the ambush was murdered brutally by an Afghan spy. If you had chosen the third option, your children will grow up being irritated at your constant drinking problems and so as your wife, she'll leave you within the first year of getting you back."

My eyes were downcast when I heard that, I didn't know that I would drown myself away in alcohol but the god continued, "But, lucky for you, this option is good. Your children will grow up using you as their role model to be the better people they are in the future and so as your wife. She will get a new man to love her the way she loves you. Do not take it too hard. She will always remember that you are her first true love." He looked over to his analogue watch and looked back at me with a smile, "Looks like our time is up, Zachary."

I suddenly felt I was falling in darkness when I heard god's voice in a distance, "Oh and I forgot to tell you, whenever you decide a certain place to go to. Your life there will be the complete opposite of your life here, just to let you know."

"What?!" I shouted at him, what did he meant by that? The complete opposite… so that means that if I have a good childhood here then that means! I screamed god once again, before I overwhelmed by darkness.

/MADNESS/

I came into terms with myself, everything was dark but I heard screaming and grunting. Voices of people shouting to one another, it was too loud for me and suddenly, I saw a faint glow of light as I tried my best to get to it. To get out from this darkness when I suddenly felt a hand on my head, dragging me out from whatever I was in. But it was sticky and slimy as I felt it against my skin.

I myself didn't know what was happening and I did only one thing. I cried, I cried for god knows how many minutes, before I was wrapped in what I assume was a blanket. I tried opening my eyes but everything was bright and blurry. I couldn't do anything and just kept my eyes closed.

This was frustrating for me and I felt the hands that were carrying me place me on something soft which I think was a mattress and I knew something was definitely wrong. I put the pieces together, the slimy and wet feeling when I was getting out. The hand on my head as it dragged me and the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket and of course the sense of someone carrying me.

I'm a baby.

That's right, I'm a baby and I don't know what is happening around me but I tried opening my eyes again. It was better this time but I can only make out shadows. Two figures came into my view. One had a skinny figure and the other was a very large and burly looking one. I couldn't make it out but I chose to ignore it and listened to what they whispering about.

"She didn't make it after she gave birth to this one."

The burly one hummed and stared at what I presume is me and spoke up, "A pity, this just shows how weak she is."

The skinny one which I think is the doctor didn't reply but moved on to the next question, "So what are you going to name them?"

"Name this one Morgana Orlando and the black haired one, Minerva Orlando."

My mind perked up at that, did he just say Minerva? As in the Minerva Orlando from Sabertooth? So wait I'm her twin for this case! And I'm a girl! What in the world is going on!? I started hyperventilating and before I knew it, I started to cry and wail again. This isn't really happening. Minerva is one of the most unfriendly people in the series, she's cunning and manipulative. Her father, I paused for a while. Our father is no better than she is.

But another thought came across my mind was the fact that I was female. I was a man back in Earth now I'm a baby girl? God is seriously fucking with me right now and I didn't want my gender as female to be objectified. I mean that since every character in the series are literally hot and fappable and because of me being Minerva's twin, I have a huge reason to be disgusted at myself.

I once found a doujishin about Minerva and I love it but that's what made me feel sick to my stomach. It's like I'm fapping to a picture of me. I stopped the wailing slowly when I chuckled inwardly at my stupidity.

So I kept quiet thinking about my plans for the future. I know that I cannot help Fairy Tail when I'm older since I will be with Minerva and Jiemma for the most of the time, I decided that I will get the bottom of Minerva's attitude and intent to change her for the better.

Okay Morgana, time to start operation: save Minerva.

/MADNESS/

I thought that things were going to be easy and fine but as soon as I had my vision back, I saw my sister being held by one of the female caretakers with me in a small room. It just a simple room, there was stove for cooking and another small separate room for bathing and such. It was like a cottage to be exact, at first I thought that this was our home but it turns out to be a work place for our two caretakers. I mentally cursed at our father. He couldn't care less about our wellbeing that he hired doctors to take care of our basic needs.

Day after day, we were greeted by the same people. It was boring and getting on my nerves. It was all very annoying and I hated being in a same room for weeks or what seems like months already.

But it all changed when I noticed my sister staring at me, we were in the same wooden play pan. Normally, the caretakers will place us separately for reasons unknown to me. Her eyes were dark but if seen clearly is actually grey in colour. She stared at me with little emotion. I took notice of how chubby she was, it reminds me so much of my two kids. I couldn't help but bring out my left hand and placing it on her cheek.

She gurgled at me, I didn't understand what she speaking but I tried answering her only to let out the same gurgling noises she's making. I soon saw her right hand lifting up and placing it on my cheek. We stared at each other and giggled happily between one another.

But that came too short when the male caretakers carried me out of the play pan and here I am in all fours mumbling out incoherent words. To them it sounded like a cute baby talking to herself but to me, they were all curses.

My sister is just too cute, I needed to see her again. I tried to get their attention by trying to knock my plan pan but they thought I wanted to get out and so, he carried me and brought me over to the chair and cradled me back and forth to my displeasure.

I did only one thing that every young baby would do when they are unhappy, I cry once again. I came to realized that crying can be used as a powerful weapon and it was exciting for me to see them rush around the house, trying to find out why I was crying.

In a flash, they thought I wanted to eat or bathe, so they quickly placed my tiny body in my sister's crib where I stopped my wailing and squealed when I hug my form to hers. She was already sleeping oblivious to my cries as I dug my face to the crook of her neck. It was smooth and soft. She's a baby though, so what could I expect. I had my arms to my chest like a T-Rex and slept with her before I felt her shifting and feeling her arm wrapping lazily over my shoulder.

I slept soundly after that, this is what I wanted, to be with my sister. I guess that once I had quietened down, our caretakers must have stopped their ministration and stopped what they were doing.

I heard them whispering to one another, "Next time, please remind me not to let her out of her play pan. She has to be with her sister." The female one said.

The male just sighed and spoke, "But Jiemma-sama said to separate them remember?"

"And yet, I still don't know why."

The woman walked over to the two and gave each children a peck on the cheeks, "I'm going to miss them once they reach five."

"I know dear, I know."

/MADNESS/

~Two years later~

I yawned as I read my book, it a story about dragons and I had to muse about how true these books are, yet many people do not believe the fact that they existed once with the human race. And aren't the dragon slayers enough proof to explain that dragons once roamed the lands of Fiore? I had to sigh at how ignorant people can be.

"Morgana-chan, what are you doing?" I glanced over to my older sister, Minerva. She's by the bed and just woke up from her nap. I smiled softly at her and waved at the girl, "Good afternoon nee-chan, I was just reading some books."

Minerva giggled, walking over to me, my sister wrapped her arms around my neck as she read the page I was reading earlier on, "Don't read too much imouto, I wouldn't want you to be wearing glasses."

I giggled back at my sister and kissed her by her cheek, "It's okay nee-chan. I won't get any glasses. I promise that." She let go of me and walked over to the seat beside me and settling herself there and taking out the books she had underneath and began doing her revision.

I eyed my sister's work at the corner of my eyes and I know how smart she is. Her mind is equivalent to Uchiha Itachi or maybe even Lelouch if she works even harder. I had to chuckle to myself at that, the irony is that her name matches her personality.

I played with a lock of hair and continued reading the book. It has the same colour as Minerva's, just like the rest of my body with the only exception of a lock of white hair that helps people tell the difference between me and my sister. I then continued what I was doing with my hair while reading the book until the door opened to reveal our two caretakers. The man was Syaz, a slender but well-built man and the woman is Senna who had a figure to die for.

Like every other character here. I thought to myself. Syaz and Senna are both from my father's still growing guild. Syaz, is a normal looking man, black hair and brown eyes while Senna has a gentle face with brown hair and hazel eyes. Both of them use laser magic and they're specialty is to create what I believe to be a variant of the Cero from Bleach. I saw what they did once when they were training outside the cottage while I watched.

Syaz said hello to us and settled the groceries on the counter when Senna lifted us up suddenly earning her giggles from my sister and I. She kissed our foreheads and placed us back to the ground where I keep my story books and took out my revision books to prepare myself for today's lesson which are maths and language.

My caretakers are not only mages but they're certified teachers. Being at thirty doesn't stop them from becoming our surrogate parents. To be honest I kinda like it, its better than staying with a man who didn't show an ounce of emotion when our birthmother passed away.

We sat there silently, waiting for Syaz to come and begin his lesson while I once looked over to Minerva who's doing her studies one chapter ahead of what Syaz is teaching. I know Minerva is a good girl but I wanted to know how it all changed. If she didn't change at this age, then when did she change her attitude?

Syaz then came out from the washroom with a grin on his face, "All right kiddos, time for some algebra!"

I giggled at his words, who knew that there were people like this in Sabertooth and it made me realized how much that Jiemma's guild was different in the past than the future. Syaz then walked over behind the cabinets and took out the chalkboard, he began on the newest chapter as I read and listened to his words.

/MADNESS/

~One year later: Three years old~

Things were going naturally good so far, no mishaps no nothing but my sister started showing signs of magic. Minerva started accidentally displacing things away like the chalks and her pillows while she sleeps. At first she started to freak out about her magic but I helped her to relax during the first few stages of her abilities and that's when I heard both Syaz and Senna discussing about the recent events.

"She has to go."

"Can't we just keep quiet from this?"

"We know we can't Senna, if he finds out, he'll kill us!"

"I know he's just visiting for today but it's just for half an hour. We'll tell the girls to study and talk to him, we'll just stay quiet and not tell him about Minerva's magic.

"Fine, but you're telling that monster." Syaz replied harshly back at his wife.

"Just relax, okay dear. Everything will be fine. I'll tell the girls that their father will be visiting for a just awhile." Senna stated finally before I clenched my fist, I don't want to be separated from Minerva. I'm starting to believe that this is how she will change her actions and attitude. I looked back to my sister's sleeping form and opened the door, surprising my caretakers.

"Just listen to Senna-san and lie to him."

"W-What?" Syaz asked first, clearly taken aback by the tone of my language.

"I said, lie to him. I don't want Jiemma to take away my sister. He left us here and has yet to visit either of us for the past three years and if he asks if we have signs of magic; say no." My eyes narrowed down at them to show how serious I can be for a three year old.

Syaz then voiced out from what's in his mind, "W-We can't."

"Can't or won't? I know you two are afraid of Father. I knew from the first time I learn how to speak. I can hear how you talk about him, you two hate him for what he's done to your nephew." I quietened down after that, "I don't want him to take nee-chan away from me."

Senna glanced over to her husband and he nodded his head, walking over to me, he went down to his knees and said, "Then you must know how we feel right?"

I nodded my head, understanding what meant, "I know Syaz-san and once I get older, I will avenge your nephew."

He hugged me and sniffled a little, "Then please, promise me that he's will isn't in vain."

I looked at him with my eyes filled with hate, "I promise Syaz-san. I will make sure his resolve will not be in vain."

I know how he felt, being a soldier for the army makes you carry around burdens of being responsible for your comrade's death and at times they'll ask you to carry on their resolves, their will, their determination to fight for the country. Yes, so I clearly know what he meant.

Syaz and Senna's nephew who lives with them died when he spread the values that Natsu similarly gives to Sabertooth guild in X791. Unfortunately, the master eradicated him from the face of Fiore with just one attack. Of course the both of them were distraught but what could they do, he's strong and had no qualms murdering someone. So they kept quiet until they had been tasked to take care of me and my twin sister until we reached five years old or had first signs of our magic showing.

"What a beautiful sight." A gruff voice said from behind them and my eyes widened, he's here. His magic is perfectly masked, is he really this strong?!

I saw how he was raising his hand, I know this attack! "Run Senna!" She was suddenly enveloped in a bright purple glow and a sudden blast pushed me and Syaz back against the cottage.

I grunted when I landed against the wall and opened my eyes, "No…" I whispered out, the place where Senna last stood was instead, replaced by a huge charred crater. I heard a pained gasp from my right and I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, "You monster!"

I rushed to him, attempting to give him a punch to his gut when I felt his own fist connect on the top of my skull and all I remembered before I blacked out was a shout of my name from Syaz.
