First things first, I don't own Fairy Tail, obviously.
There is legal guild, somewhere in Fiore, near the not very well known forest village of Lingo. Here, it house many different and dangerous types of people. It house former convicts, those who want a new start and those who experience much trauma in their lives. In this guild, those people are given a second change, hope, and redemption... The guild itself accepts anyone, however most are chosen using a process called a "Signing", where the guild mark symbol somehow makes their way into their life in a form of a dream. Using archive magic, the mark implants the location of the guild in their brains where they are able to find it.
What is this guild? You may ask, well is one and only the guild of the...
Holy Bats
Our story begins in X787, where a young wizard learns of her destiny one night.
She was running. Evil figures lurk around her, trying to turn her into one of them. A mass of red, horned, winged demons fly around her chuckling. Two hooded figures show up in her dreams. She recognize them immediately. Her parents. This isn't the first time she had this dream. For the past year she's been dreaming this same nightmare, over and over again. She knew what was going to happen next, she braced herself. The figures lifted their hoods down and as soon as she saw their faces her legs turned into jelly. They looked exactly the same when they had died. She fell to her knees as her mother spoke. "Why didn't you save us."
Her father spoke next, "You could have saved us. But you refused."
"Why," Her mother started to sob, tears of blood coming out of her eyes. "Why didn't you save us."
The girl opened her mouth, "I couldn't if I did I would have gotten myself killed."
"You could have died with us," Her father said. "We would be together but you decided to kill us."
"Please, just leave me alone." Her hands went to her head as she curled up in fetus position and rocked herself. "Isn't one year enough."
"We will never leave you. For as long as you live, we will always be a part of you." Her parents said together. "Forever."
She screamed as she knew what would happen next. A flash of red then all blackness. Then she would wake up. Instead a soft shade of white combined with black came over her. When she looked up a mark was above her. It was a bat with a cross inside it. "Find us." It whispered. A confused look went over her face. How does a sign talk. "Find us and come to us. You must wake up now Ami."
Ami woke up with a start. Breathing in and out heavily she looked around. She was sleeping in a tree like she was used to. Her hands went to her hips. She breathed a happy sigh as they found her weapons, two twin swords called Gijiang and Moye by its previous owner safety in their place.
The dream was still fresh in her head. The clearest part was the bat though, the bat with the cross inside. "Find us." Its words were still fresh in her head. Suddenly it was as if a map had popped up in her head. It was weird and very interesting at the same time. She had a gut feeling to find it. Jumping down the tree she landed lightly on her feet. Her body began to glow. "Takeover: Angel Soul!" She shouted.
Her body stopped glowing as her new form became visible. She still kept several of her features including her pink hair, emerald green eyes, light skin that was slightly tinted brown, and her tattoo of angel wings on her collarbone. Her clothing has changed. Instead of her normal clothes: a white shirt and a gray vest on top of it, with a black bow-tie on her collar, black skirt and black flats she was wearing a long white robe and a pair of simple brown sandals. Two large feathered wings sported form her back. Her two swords laid faithfully in their sheaths around her hips. She spread her wings and took to the air.
She flew following the map that was still in her brain. She flew to a forest where they were a village. Her first instinct was to fly down there and ask where she was but, she decided not to and kept following the map. After flying for another good minute she reached her destination. From the air, the "destination" was just a cave. Disgruntled she was about to fly away when she saw two dots. A girl, with black hair and blue eyes flew up here being carried by a winged gray cat.
"Hi, I'm Genesis, nice to meet you." The girl said. "This is Eli, my pet cat. He has magic too which allows him to fly. Say hi Eli."
"Hi." The cat said grumpily.
"A," She said hesitantly. Ami would never reveal her real first name to a stranger. She She took the girl's outstretched hand and when they touch she was electrocuted. She nearly fell to the ground before she heard someone yell.
"Light Make: Pillow!" Light caught her in the middle of the air. Genesis and Eli flew down to her, her face red.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know you would fall down." Genesis apologized frantically whilst holding out the lighting lacrama she held in her hand.
"It's alright, Genesis. Besides I'm fine. Who caught me anyways?"
"I did." A rough, yet joking voice filled the air. A man with shaggy dark blue hair and stubs of hair surrounding his mouth smiled at her. "My name's Darrel. You?"
"A." She took his hand as he helped her to her feet.
"Well A, how did you find the Holy Bat guild."
"I don't know- wait did you say Holy Bat guild?"
"Yeah, this is a magic guild called the Holy Bat. How did you find this insignificant guild?"
"I don't know." She said, "I was just sleeping and this figure it looked like a bat and a cross showed up in my sleep."
The man smiled "Did it look like this?" He pushed up his sleeve revealing the green bat and cross figure on his shoulder.
"Yeah, it did. Why is it on your arm though?"
"It's our guild mark. You've been Signed."
"What do you mean I've been Signed?"
"It means you've been chosen to be the new member in this guild." A warm voice said to her. A man with spikey black hair, purple eyes, and wearing a suit walked up to her. "My name is Fenton Prior, I am the guildmaster of this guild. You must be A."
"I-I am. How did you know?"
He smiled, "My secondary magic, Memory See. It allows me to see a person's memory, therefore their past. I saw into your past. You were searching for redemption for a year weren't you?"
"I was, how did you put your guild mark in my dreams and gave me the location to this guild without even giving me paper directions."
"It's fairly simple." He waved his hand and a few magical flat-screens appeared on the air. "My primary magic is Archive it allows me to transfer data from my magic into your head. That's how I sent you directions into this guild and sent the symbol into your dream, A. That's not your real name is it Ami?"
She froze at the sound of her full first name. Darrel looked at her confused. "Ami? I though your name was A?"
She thawed out and sighed, "That's just my nickname, a preferred name. My real name is Ami Fuuki."
"You're the child of Daiki and Cho Fuuki?" Genesis asked. "The famous dark wizards from the Twilight Raven's guild?" She gasped. "You're the Shadow Angel! Beautiful as an angel, like your magic, yet silent and dangerous as a shadow."
"I am her. So what, you're going to turn me into the Magic Council or something like that."
"I don't think they can do that." Fenton spoke up. "You see, I got approval from the head of the magic council himself. I foretold him of your coming and how you were merely just influenced by the evils of your parents to do what they said. He agreed to relieve you of your crimes."
"That's great!" She yelled.
"Under two conditions."
"Oh."
"The first one is that, you must never commit a crime again."
"Done."
"The second is that you must join the guild of the Holy Bats."
She was more hesitant on that. "I don't really want to join a guild though."
"I'm afraid that you must or they will punish you for your crimes." He said sadly. "The punishment is death. I don't want for you to die." Silence filled the air.
"Fine." Ami snapped gritting her teeth. "How do I get in?"
"You just did Ami. Welcome to the guild." Fenton said smiling.
This is my first Fairy Tail fanfiction. As the name implies this is a SYOC story. The application is on my profile, and you MUST send me the application by PM ONLY. I am accepting about twenty or so members since this is a small guild. The rules are also on my profile. Also, this and the next four chapters are is more of an introduction chapers, introducing the main characters. Very few OCs will pop up, on the next four chapters. The main story will take place in X791, around the times of the Grand Magic Games. That's when OCs will start coming in by floods. Also, your OC may either be a major or minor character. It depends on how they fit in the story, but every OC will have their part in here. Final thing, the guild mark's appearance is the cover of this story.
