Miles out on Fiore's coast, something interesting is happening right now. Out on the water, where there's no land to be seen, is a massive wooden ship being piloted by two shady fellas who are in hot pursuit of a mysterious figure moving rapidly in the water. Could it be a very rare fish or is it something else?
"Hurry up we're gonna lose him!" One of the pair shouted from the bowel at his partner at the helm.
But before the other could respond, the mysterious figure suddenly dived downward and vanished from their sights. They stopped their ship and dropped the anchor, feeling the cool breeze from the wind of their chase dissipate and turn into the scorching heat from the sun above. Not only have they just lost their prey, but there is no cloud for miles to block the sun. The two were both lean, slightly muscular men of tall height who appeared to be in their mid-twenties and tan skin tones. One had blue eyes and brown rugged hair and wore a white muscle shirt soaked in sweat, a pair of navy blue swim trunks and sandals while the other one had grey eyes, no hair, just a plain red bandanna, a pair of red swim trunks and was barefoot.
The two looked over one side of their ship hoping to find their missing prey. But little did the fools know they had become the prey. Suddenly, their ship began to rumble as the sea beneath grew more and more vibrant. Then, the water erupted into a massive wall surrounding the entire ship and from the top of the walls a mysterious figure dropped and landed on the ship behind the two men. They both heard its landing and slowly turned around in fear to face what they were now considering to be the worst mistake of their lives.
What stood before them was no fish or creature of any sort, but a young man. He was lean, muscular, and had a slightly above average height with a fair skin tone, aqua green eyes, and short-cut black hair. He wore a padded vest as blue as the ocean over his bare chest, navy blue jeans and was barefoot. The two could only stare in horror as the man before them looked from one of them to the other with most frightening glare as if he were saying Who dies first?
Whether it was out of fear or foolishness, the man with the red bandanna suddenly charged at the guy but was immediately punched in the gut so hard you could hear the cracking of his ribs, rendering him unconscious. Before the other man could react, the young man tightly grabbed him by the neck with one hand and pushed him against the edge of the bowel.
"So…" the young man began, "this is how it usually works: you tell me who you punks are and why you're after me, and maybe I don't feed you to the sharks beneath us."
"Cobra Fang!" the man screeched as he struggled to breathe, "We're from the Dark Guild: Cobra Fang! My buddy and I took a job to hunt down someone called 'Leviathan'!"
"Why? Who is your source?"
"No clue."
Unconvinced, the young man tightened his grip on the Dark Mage's neck.
"ANONYMOUS!" the Dark Mage screeched out, "I swear the flyer said 'anonymous'!"
"Then how would you've gotten paid?!"
"The flyer was enchanted in a way that it would teleport the money to us if we fulfilled certain requirements. All we had to do was take your head to the flyer and the money would automatically appear!"
Seemingly convinced, the young man loosened his grip on the Dark Mage's neck, allowing him to breathe easier. "Last question..." he began, "Where's your guild hall?"
After telling him the location, the young man finally released his grasp and the Dark Mage fell to his knees breathing heavily. His relief was short-live, unfortunately, as the young man suddenly jumped high above the ship. The Dark Mage watched in horror as the air-borne youth formed from his hands a massive waterball, which he then throws down at the ship, creating large explosion of water on impact and destroying the ship. You're probably thinking "But he said he wouldn't feed them to the sharks if he told him." He said maybe. This tempered individual is the notorious Independent Mage known all throughout Fiore as Leviathan.
A few hours later, the Independent Mage know as Leviathan arrived at the destination the Dark Mage described earlier. He was surrounded by a forest of dead trees and before him stood Cobra Fang's guild hall, a moderately sized building made of stone. Leviathan looked at the building's closed wooden doors before clenching his fist, which is then engulfed in spiraling water and punches the doors so hard they completely shatter revealing the stunned faces of over a dozen Dark Mages.
"Knock. Knock." Leviathan smirks before charging.
Elsewhere, a familiar armored, red-haired woman makes her way through a forest of dead trees. She had been hired by the lord of the province to subjugate a certain Dark Guild called Cobra Fang that had been terrorizing local residents. After receiving the location of the guild hall, Erza Scarlet travels through the dead forest to put an end to the Dark Guild's terror once and for all. Finally, she arrives at the specified location but is shocked at the sight before her. The guild hall that she had been searching for now lays in ruin as if it had been struck by a miniature asteroid.
She stares with a face of awe and confusion until she notices a shadowy figure within the dust. As the mysterious figure finally steps out of the rubble, Erza is surprised to see a young man. Despite just stepping out of a destroyed building, he doesn't appear to have any serious injuries and what's more interesting is that his expression is completely serene, as if he isn't bothered by the destroyed building. After completely exiting the ruined building, the mysterious man notices the female knight before him and their eyes meet.
"Who is he?" Erza thought, "Is he part of Cobra Fang? Or is he someone worse?"
