Chapter 1: Our New World

Year: 803

His eyes burned with a fiery rage. Is he... protecting me? Was this the same man that I have known for so many years? The same one that gave me my last name?

"Run, Erza!"

The year is 803, our world has changed so much. Fairy Tail is a lot smaller, so small that I can count the number of members left on just two hands. To be exact we have eight members remaining. In the year 798 the royal family was over thrown by a group that wanted us to call them "The New Fairies." These "New Fairies" were evil malicious brutes, if you didn't do what they told you to, you were killed, and that was that. They wouldn't even think twice about killing a mage, which is why we only have 8 members left. That count was taken three months ago, before I abandoned Fairy Tail.

"The New Fairies" had desecrated Fairy Tail's name, claiming to be members of Fairy Tail that had a different approach to life than the rest of us. I cant speak for the rest of Fairy Tail, but when the riots come to them, I don't want to be there. I met up with Jellal and we set off to get as far away from this hell hole as possible.

So here we are now, on the run, when we find one of "The New Fairies."

"Erza, RUN!" Jellal repeated, this time louder.

"No! I wont leave you Jellal." "Ex-quip." I calmly stated.

"Heaven's wheel armor, right?" Jellal questioned.

"Correct, but now is not the time for small talk."

"Let's go!" Jellal and I simultaneously stated.

I ran towards the man and surrounded him with my mighty blades. The man obviously had no common sense because he threw himself repetitively at the blades, in a sad attempt to escape until finally his body could handle no more and he collapsed from blood loss, never to awaken again.

"Let's get out of here before the others come and realize who did this to him." Jellal firmly stated.

"Got it, ex-quip." I said as I changed back into my normal armor.

"Let's run like the wind." Jellal said as we started to run off, keeping a good pace. We weren't exactly sure where we were going, but any where would be better than here.

"So you never have told me which members are left at Fairy Tail." Jellal said, obviously trying to keep my mind off the fact that I had just killed someone.

"The eight members are as follows: Natsu, Lucy, Cana, Bisca, Asuka, Romeo, Juvia, and most likely Guildarts."

"What about you?"

"I don't count, I betrayed them."

"Then let's go back for them."

"Are you insane?!"

"That's a good question, now let's go to Fairy Tail, and that's an order."

"Your lucky I love you otherwise you would be dead by now."

"You lo-lo-love m-m-m-me?" Jellal stuttered as he pointed to himself.

"Yes I do, now let's go." I said as I walked in the general direction of Fairy Tail.

"I thought that you didn't want to go."

"Normally I wouldn't take an order from anyone, but I will make an exception for you, let's hurry."
