Chapter 1

A new-found peace had settled in Magnolia. It had been 2 weeks since Laxus's rebellion against Fairy Tail, and the town was in a state of peace and quiet. Well… Most of the town. Fairy tail was having their daily brawl and celebrating for Natsu and the others for destroying Nirvana. Also bringing two new members, Wendy and Carla. Natsu, Gray and Elfman were having their usual fight in the middle of the guild hall.

"Get out of my way, Flame-Brain!" Gray yelled.

"Shut up, popsicle!" Natsu retorted as he punched him in the gut.

"MAAAAN!" Elfman screamed, just before he was knocked out by the both of them.

All the girls were just sitting at a table away from the mini-rampage talking amongst themselves.

"Lucy-san, is the guild always like this? This is the fourth battle today." Wendy had asked. Wendy and Carla had been in the guild for over a week and are first getting a taste of daily Fairy tail life.

"Yeah, It gets annoying at first, but you eventually get used to it. I got accustomed to it in the first month of being in the guild." Lucy had said.

"These men are pathetic; They don't know when to restrain themselves at all! All they do is fight, scream and fight. Bunch of idiots." Carla had stated.

"Oi Carla!"

"It's okay, Wendy. That's the usual impression people get from the males of our guild. Isn't that what you thought when you joined Juvia? Juvia?" Levy was asking.

"Ohhhhh, Gray-sama, so perfect….. and naked!" Juvia whispered as she was gawking at a stripped Gray.

All the girls sweat dropped.

"Well, she's in her uh…. 'trance' so she won't be able to answer you right now, I guess." Lucy said.

"Oh, I have to go to the restroom. I'll be right back." Wendy said.

Wendy had stood up from her chair and began to head towards the restroom. But as she turned around to walk, she bumped into a sturdy figure and was knocked down onto the floor. She shrieked out of surprise and the guild had immediately become silent. Wendy was taken back at first, but now she looked up to see whom she hit. All she saw was a short man with a mask glaring at her.

"Ah, Gomenesai!" Wendy had managed to muster.

"Hmph, you should watch where you're going . Not taking into consideration of those you could possibly bump into will cause them to dislike you in an instant." Mask said as he grabbed Wendy and helped her stand back up.

Wendy's P.O.V

This man had helped me stand back up and to my surprise, he was only maybe a couple inches taller than me. And by the sound of his voice, he must have been in his late 40's maybe? I guess the old generation must be getting really short, like the master, huh? Ohhh, what am I thinking? It's rude to think like that! He is a short man with a black long-sleeved top that covers his neck. He had purple pants with armor shin-guards and black boots. He wore a purple mask that covered his face and the top of his head. The mask had a black lightning pattern and two eye holes that revealed two very nice dark-green eyes. I couldn't see any pupils, which was kind of odd, but I shrugged it off.

"Uh. I'm really sorry." I said bowing to him profusely,with a slight tear in the corner of my eye. He must have noticed this because his body looked like he relaxed.

"It's fine. Just be careful." He said as he began to walk towards the bar.

"Hai"

I didn't need to go to the restroom any more and sat back down. All the girls and everyone else were looking at me until Natsu-san continued the fight. As the guild was thrown into chaos again. The girls were looking at me with sympathy. They began asking if I was okay.

"I'm okay. I was just caught off guard, that's all….Um who was that person? I don't think I've seen him since I joined." I asked.

"That was Mask." Erza-san had answered as she came from God knows where.

"Mask?" Both Lucy-san and I said. Erza looked at Lucy-san with slight astonishment.

"Oh, that's right, you haven't seen him either too Lucy. Well, Mask is one of the more….. mysterious ones of our guild, like Jella- um Mystogan. No one besides the master knows who he could possibly be, so we just call him 'Mask' for now. His magic is also a slight mystery. I myself have not seen him actually utilize any form of magic, nor has anyone else. That's what really concerns me about him." She finished as she began to focus on her train of thought.

"You don't think he could a danger to the guild now, do you?" Lucy asked.

"For the moment, no. He's been a member for two years now and has done nothing to provoke a possible threat. But I'm still cautious of him."

"Erza-san, I'm sure he's not dangerous; he's probably just misunderstood, maybe?" I said.

"Probably, but Wendy, I don't want you to interact with him, nor do I want you to be around him." Carla ordered.

"Oi, Carla"

"I don't think that'll be an issue" Erza said," He rarely interacts with anyone, other than the Master, and that was the most I've seen him talk to a guild member when he talked to you, Wendy. He's reclusive, so he's not a bother to anyone."

"Oh." I said. That's kind of sad.

Mask's P.O.V

I could over-hear Erza-san talking and enlightening that girl about me, but obviously, there wasn't much for her to tell. I soon found way around the brawl to the counter/bar. I saw that Mira-san was working there as usual. She saw me and and walked over to me.

"Good morning Mask-san, It's rare to see you here. Would you like anything or is it your usual order of nothing?" Mira asked. I simply just looked at her with a blank look( as if she could see it) and got the hint and walked away. Soon the Master had occupied the seat next to me and he began conversing with me.

"Mask" The master began," Don't you think you should have apologized to her for knocking her down? You were at more fault for not being careful yourself." The master said.

"No. Um, Master." I said.

"Yes?"

"When I bumped into her, I sensed an odd magic emanating from her. What's her magic?" I asked.

"She utilizes Dragon Slayer magic. She is the Sky Dragon Slayer and uses Healing magic. Her name is Wendy Marvell." He said.

I was actually quite surprised to hear this. I turned my head to look at her again.

Her? I….I can't belive it. So…you joined this guild huh? Great…this is only going to put a much larger hindrence in my plans. I thought as looked back toward Makarov.

From appearances alone, that girl doesn't seem like she could do much. Let alone be a slayer. But I shouldn't be one to talk. My natural appearance would mislead many people of my nature as well.

"Master."

"Yes?"

"They'll be here soon today. Those two will arrive, and I my endeavor will soon begin." I informed.

The Master gasped." Hmmm. I didn't think they would arrive so soon. Do you still want me to do my part, like we discussed last week?"

Flashback

"Alright. Now, tell me exactly why you entered my office. I know you don't want to be here for long and risk being seen by anyone." Master began.

"Right. Master, as I told you two years ago: They will arrive soon in the upcoming weeks, just as Poryushika foretold, and my concern lies with the other guild members. Knowing them, they attempt to intervene and possibly delay my mission. I ask of you to prevent any of the members to get involved,"

"mmmm" The master had began to think this over," some of our members, especially Natsu, would love to be involved in your "goal" and that would prove disastrous for them. I'll try to stop them, but given the fact they're Fairy Tail, there is no guarantee I can" The master stated.

"But if these two are as powerful as you first claimed them to be, then why don't you want the assistence of the others?"

"This guild is quite boisterous and ravenous when it involves fighting, and I acknowledge some of their capabilities. But, I want to handle them by myself to satisfy a part of my vendetta. I know it would be rather difficult to keep some of the members at bay from a fight, especially Natsu-san, but I have to be the one to take care of them."

"But if they are as powerfull as you claim they are, won't you need some assistance?"

"Like I said, I don't want to put the other members in harms way. So please, do what you can to stop them."

"Alright, I'll try."

End of Flashback….

"Yes, Those two were very powerful years ago, but now I don't know how much they have improved, so it's best to keep the guild at bay when I deal with them."

"Understood" the Master said.

At that moment, the guild hall doors were kicked open. I turned around and saw two men standing at the door. The commotion of the guild had stopped, and they were looking at them as well. I soon stood and said," It's time." I said menacingly.

Master's P.O.V

I could feel an immense amount of dark aura around Mask. I don't know what's going to happen, but I know there will some interesting revelations about you, Mask. But please, don't cause too much damage.

AN: So, what do you think and who do think Mask might be? Please Rate & Review. This is my first fan-fic so please, an help would be nice.
