'Cobra's thoughts'
"normal conversation"
Chapter 1: A new life
Two months has passed since the Orachion Seis was defeated by Fairy Tail, the dark mages that are now former member of the dark guild went separate ways, each one on their own, hiding from the magic council. Although most of them are hiding, there is one of them that doesn't know what do do with his life anymore since he lost what he called his only true friend, the man with maroon spiky hair and purple-ish eyes, the wizard that has the ability to hear anyone's thoughts thanks to his sound magic, but known more as the Poison Dragon Slayer, Cobra.
Cobra spent those two months hiding in a cave not too far from Magnolia, although what Cobra really wanted was revenge against Fairy Tail, he couldn't help but think about the loss of his only friend Cubellios every day and how weak he's been since his loss to the Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel, and even worse, his master Brain betraying him. Cobra had no idea what to do anymore, but he had no idea what was in store for him.
"Man...i seriously wish i culd find something to do..." Says the poison dragon slayer after waking up and going outside for a walk.
Cobra walked around the nearby forest, looking down and with his hands on his white trench coat's pocket, he walked for a few minutes until he started hearing someone coming his way "Hey! Wait for me you stupid fire head!" Cobra recognized that voice. 'don't tell me those idiots came looking for me...' he thought in a kinda worried way. Without really thinking, Cobra just went back to the cave and stayed there, waiting.
While Cobra was hiding in the cave, two common faces and an unknown face were approaching the cave, one was the pink haired fire breather Natsu, the Fire Dragon Slayer; the other was the heavy armored woman with scarlet hair and Fairy Tail's famous S-class Wizard, Erza Scarlet; And finally, the third one was someone Cobra didn't have the chance to meet during his time with the Orachion Seis, the spiky haired man with red eyes and metal piercings on his face, Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer. 'i knew that pink haired bastard would show up someday, i bet they're here to capture me...! I'm not letting that happen! Not again!' Cobra stayed quiet like a snake ready to lunga at it's prey, listening to the trio talking.
"Now listen, you two, stop gawking already and find these mushroom things that we came looking for!" The armored lady said, short tempered as aways.
"I still can't understand why the hell you had to choose such a dumb rquest, Erza!" The Fire dragon slayer says quite annoyed.
"You got a problem with that!?" She snapped at him.
Knowing there's nothing he can do - "O-of course not ma'am" he replied and wlked away looking for the special mushrooms.
Gajeel wasn't talking at all, he was just standing still with his arms crossed, but he picked up a weird scent in the air, a scent he's never smelled before, with that new scent now in his nose, he started going towards the scent's main source.
"Gajeel...i'm sure the mushrooms are not in a cave...are you trying to slack off again?" Asks the S-class wizard while facepalming.
"Uh no..." That's not what Gajeel really wanted to say, but he learned with Natsu to not enrage the Armor Lady unless you have a death wish. "I picked up a weird scent, and it's coming from that cave" he points at the cave's entrance while talking. "Can't you pick it too, salamender?" he turns to Natsu as he spoke.
Natsu takes a few sniffs and quickly notices the scent, but, it wasn't a weird scent for him, he knew that scent "Hm, i think i've smelled the scent before, can't remember though..."
Cobra wasn't so nervous now, knowing that they're not there to capture him, he could just run away unnoticed, although that's easier said than done, before he knew, the trio were already near the cave's entrance. 'Crap! Now what...if it was just one of them, i could take 'em on...but three at the same time? Not possible'
"Let's take a look, Erza!" Natsu said, quite curious to find out what the scent was about, specially 'cause he knew he sniffed that before.
Erza simply lets a sigh out - "Alright, fine, but we can't take our focus off of our job, so let's hurry...it's almost breakfeast time and i refuse to not eat my cakes in time!"
"I don't understand how you never get fat eating all these cakes...you eat so many of them everyday!" Natsu snapped.
"If you don't shut it i'll turn you into a freakin' dessert!" Said the iron dragon slayer, annoyed with the common stupidness of the fire dragon slayer.
"What, you wanna fight to see who turns into a dessert first!?" Natsu snapped, already clenching his fists.
Erza didn't think twice before smacking the fire breather and slaming him on the ground, leaving poor Natsu lying on the floor unconcious. "I'm tired of your stupidness!" she yelled, although the armored lady didn't notice she overdid it - "Get up Natsu, stop trying to take a nap on the job..." after a few seconds waiting, she realized she knocked the guy out and a gasp comes out as she starts saying "Oh no i did it again! I'm so sorry Natsu!" Scarlet picks the fire boy up. "Oh Gajeel, keep looking for the mushrooms, i'll take Natsu back to the guild, it's my fault he passed out and i must take care of him!" she says while running off, not even giving Gajeel a chance to protest.
"Well that's so damn great...now i have to look around like a kid that lost his toys" Gajeel sighs impatiently "this is so ridiculous!" he lets another sigh come out and proceeds into the cave, and he's surprised by Cobra, who is right there standing, with a serious look on his face. "Who the hell are you?" Gajeel said, already impatient.
Cobra heard Gajeel's thought and he knew he wasn't looking for a fight, the poison drgon didn't want to fight either since his strenghts aren't reovered. "So you're with Fairy Tail eh"
Gajeel looked and the guy and still impatient, said "Yeah...hey you're the one that has this weird scent i'm picking, and who are you...?"
'i'm not afraid of saying who i really am..not even for those fairy tail idiots' After some seconds in silence, Cobra finally replied "I'm a former member of the Orachion Seis...a Dark Guild that was disbanded by stupid Fairy Tail...' He said it with a slight tone of anger in his voice.
Gajeel had a smirk on his face "Oh so you're part of that guild Salamender talked so much about last month" after some time thinking he said "Wait don't tell me you-"
Cobra interrupted Gajeel by saying "No i wasn't planning on an ambush and i'm not planning on having a revenge"
Gajeel blinked, a little suprised that the guy said eactly what he was thinking "How'd you knew i was about to say that..." He asked a little confused
With a smirk on his face, the poison dragon replied "I can hear your thoughts with my sound magic, no one can hide their thought from me, also, the mushrooms you were looking for, i have some right here" he picks a few from the floor.
"Interesting" The iron dragon said, quite intrigued. While getting the mushrooms from Cobra's hands, he asked "So what've you been doing since your guild got disbanded?"
Cobra simply looks down and says "Nothing, i've been living here since it happened...i don't have anything else to do"
"Why not trying to join a guild?" Gajeel asked while giving Cobra a weak laugh.
With a sigh, Cobra replies kinda annoyed "I don't fit in any guild, i was a dark mage and i'm not the type that gets all buddy-buddy with people"
Gajeel with a smirk on his face says "Well man, i was from a Dark guild too and i joined Fairy Tail after i realized the mistakes i made, you should try doing the same y'know, it's better than living in this hellhole you call home"
"I've done way too many bad things to deserve that, and i hate all of you Fairy tail pests" he sais with an annoyed tone to his voice.
Gajeel can't help but to laugh "Kid everyone deserves a second chance, i'm trying to be nice here which is something i rarely do, i can even talk to gramps so he can take you out of here"
"I don't get why you want to be nice, but if that's what you want, i won't stop you, plus i'm warning you i'm not going to get along with anyone in there, specially that stupid dragon slayer Natsu." the poison dragon said.
"Yeah yeah i hear ya, i hate that asshole too, he can be a pain in the butt but it's better than staying here" Gajeel says while turning around and about to leave. "So i'll be heading back, you better expect someone from fairy tail coming to pay you a visit tomorrow"
"Great..." Cobra sighs as he watches Gajeel leaving. 'Should i really join them? Do i really deserve a second chance? Should i really start a new life?'
-Time Skip until Night time -
Cobra questioned himself a lot that day, he went outside to enjoy the shining full moon and eat some poisonous mushrooms so he could stay strong, after enjoying the nice breeze of the night, the poison dragon slayer went back to the cave.
He walks to the rock bed he made himself, lays down on it, looking at the rocks above him, still in deep thought until he sat back up and said "I've made my decision"
