Part 1: Crash Course in Earthland
Ughhh...my head."
Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes shot wide open before he sat straight up. "What the...where the hell am I?" His eyes darted around in the darkness that surrounded him before they came to rest on the motionless forms of Uryu and Chad. "Uryu...Chad!" Lifting himself up and half crawling half stumbling over, he reached his downed friends and shook their shoulders. "Hey you alright...wake up!"
For a couple of seconds there was no response, but eventually Chad's arm began twitching before he lifted his head and looked at the Substitute. "...Ichigo? What's going on? Where are we?" Ichigo shoulders relaxed and he breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Great to hear from ya buddy. For a second there I was thinking maybe you weren't doing to hot." He helped his friend up before continuing. "As for where we are, don't have a clue. But if you're fine than that means Uryu over there is just being a lazy ass."
"I'm not being a lazy ass Kurosaki." Uryu said. He was currently sitting up, rubbing the back of his head as if he had a knot there. "Your loud voice woke me up. Try for a gentler approach next time." This earned a questioning look from Ichigo.
"Oh yeah? Ok next time when you're snoozing I'll just kick you in the ribs to check."
Uryu muttered something that Ichigo didn't quite make out before dusting himself off and walking over and joining the two. "So any idea where we are?"
"Like I told Chad, I don't have a clue where we're at. The last thing I remember was we were in my living room and I was just about to open a cardboard box that had just been delivered." He scratched the side of his head before taking several hesitant steps forward. "Best thing I can think of is that we just start walking till we find- OUCH!" Ichigo stumbled back and brought a hand to his face. "Grrrrr..."
"What's the matter?" Chad asked. He looked at Ichigo, who was rubbing his temple with his index finger, and glanced over at Uryu. "Why'd he stop?"
"I walked into something hard." Ichigo stated, lowering his hand and growling in annoyance. "It felt like I ran into a wall."
"What are you talking about, I don't see anything." Uryu walked past with his arm extended, but stopped when he his hands pressed up against something hard and flat. "Very mind, looks like I spoke to soon." Chad and Ichigo walked up beside him and felt the smooth invisible wall in front of them. Through their fingers the space looked no different from the area they were already in. It was all dimly lit like a cave.
"So it's some kind of force field?" Ichigo asked, expecting an answer from Uryu who was tapping the invisible wall in several places.
"There doesn't appear to be any gaps in the wall." Uryu mumbled to himself. "Just a hard transparent force field. Could be a Kido spell."
"Correct."
The trio's eyes widened once they hear the new voice. The space past the invisible wall lit up, revealing a room with rows of strange machines and devices that covered the floor and walls. Standing directly in front of them, on the over side of the wall, was the face painted Captain of Squad Twelve Mayuri Kurotsuchi and his lieutenant Nemu.
"Well I'm glad to see my test subjects have finally decided to awaken." Kurotsucki's golden teeth bared at them. "The thought of poking you with a cattle prod came to mind when you didn't wake up in the time I expected you to. What a shame."
"Mayuri!" Ichigo smashed his fist against the wall, narrowing his eyes at the mad scientist. "What's the big idea you psycho! Mind explaining why we woke up in your Kido barriers?" Multiple tick marks erupted on his face when he noticed Mayuri absent-mindedly cleaning out his ear with his finger. "Don't ignore me you clown faced bastard!"
"Oh I hear you, I just wish now that I'd made something to mute you." Mayuri motioned to Nemu, who nodded before hurrying over to a console and began typing on the keys. "As you fools are no doubtingly wondering why you are here I will explain. The package that you were opening Kurosaki was from me. Inside was canister of gas I developed that was set to go off when the package was opened. After the gas had its effect and you passed out, I had several members of my squad carry to back to the Soul Society. At the current moment you are all under the Department of Research and Development." He waited for that to sink in before delivering the punch line. "And you are my latest test subjects."
"Like hell I am." Ichigo snapped. "Do you really think the other Captains are going to yet you get away with this?"
"I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with Ichigo on this." Uryu pressed his glass back up against the bridge of his nose. "This is a pretty bold move you've pulled. Aren't you worried about the punish you'll get from the Head Captain?" Out of all the Thirteen Captains, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was the one that Uryu hated with ever fiber of his being. He was the one responsible for Uryu's grandfather's death and he had said multiple times that he'd be the one to kill the scientist.
"Did you honestly think I'd make a move like this without taking precautions? Once the experiment is done I'll erase you memory of all the events that transpired while you're here. That way you don't go mouthing off about nonsense."
"So you are planning on using us in one of your freaky experiments." Ichigo gritted his teeth. "And when you say experiment you mean you're going to rebuild us and make us more machine than man, that's it isn't it?" He began yelling and pounding on the Kido wall with both fist, running around the now revealed cube-shaped barrier and slamming the solid wall to no avail. "Get me out of here! I've seen the stuff he's put in those needles and I don't want it inside me! Kisuke's bad enough, but this is crossing the line!"
"Oh nonsense, I'm just going to make a few modifications on you, that's all. I've never had the time during battles to do it, but now that I have all three of you I can finally start working. You're all interesting specimens and I just can't wait to being procedures. A Substitute Soul Reaper, a Quincy, and a Fullbringer. Oh what fun this will be. You should be grateful." His maniac like grin only seemed to widened at the shocked faced teens. He was really seriously about using them as guinea pigs!
Turning his back to them, Mayuri called to his lieutenant. "Nemu! Begin system checks and run vital scans. I want to make sure my test subjects are in perfect conditions before I begin."
"Damn it, what do I do? I can't just sit here and wait for him to start." Sweat rolled down the side of Ichigo's face and his hands shook with adrenaline. "Think...Think!" Just when it looked like frustration was going to overwhelm him, Ichigo felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Chad silently pointing at Ichigo's belt. His eyes traveled down and widened at the sight of his Substitute Soul Reaper badge hanging from his belt loop.
There was hope after all. Mayuri must have over looked it some how, but that didn't matter now. With his badge on him, Ichigo could use his Soul Reaper powers to bust him and his friends out of here. Despite the barrier being cast by a Captain level Soul Reaper like Mayuri, there was no doubt that he had enough power to shatter it without a problem.
Quickly slamming the badge against his chest, Ichigo's now lifeless body slumped down into Chad's arms while he stood with his black shihakusho and Zangetsu. Letting the bandages fall away, Ichigo lifted the butcher knife-shaped sword off his back and smirked at the shocked look on Mayuri's face when he turned around in surprise. Despite the enormous size of his Zanpakuto, Ichigo wielded it like it weighed nothing and he pointed the tip directly at the Captain of Squad Twelve. "Change of plans, I've decided to say screw you and your plans. Getsuga..."
"You fool don't do that!"
"Tensho!"
A massive wave of blue spirit energy erupted from Ichigo's blade and slammed into the wall. The force of the blow created a small crack that soon spread across the whole barrier, making it look like glass window that was moments from shattering.
"You idiot!" Mayuri cursed. "There's very sensitive equipment here that'll go haywire if it's exposed to too much spiritual pressure! There's no telling what it will do!"
"What!?" Ichigo yelled, Mayuri's words finally reaching him. But it was too late. The Kido barrier collapsed and faded out of existence, allowing Ichigo's blue spirit energy to whip around the lab like an angry snake. The energy from the Getsuga dispersed, frying machines and causing the walls and ceiling to crumble.
The rampaging spirit energy found its way to an odd-looking structure in the midst of the lab. The odd structure was attached on the ceiling as well as the floor like a pillar. Once he saw the powerful spirit energy curling around the structure, Mayuri went into a frenzy panic. "The Matter Reconstruction System! I can't let one of my most precious creations be destroyed!" Unfortunately for him the MR System began shaking violently as more and more of Ichigo's Reiryoku came in contact.
From across the lab, Ichigo stared with wide eyes as the MR system begin sparking and glowing an eerie blue. The brightness of the glow intensified so quickly that Ichigo was barely about to give a startled shout before the room was engulfed in white light...
Levy McGarden hummed happily to herself as she walked down the main street of Magnolia. Cradled in her arms was new book she'd just recently bought at the Magnolia Bookstore. She held it close, smiling as she thought about how good it was going to be once she gotten started on it.
"Tales of the Multiverse." Levy ran her fingers over the book's spine. The book's title had instantly captured Levy's attention in the bookstore, the very name sparking an excitement inside her. From the summary on the back of the book, the book explained about how the universe of Earthland was just one dimension out of an infinite amount. She'd already heard about the world of Edolas and the Celestial Spirit World, but could there really be more out there?
Tucking the book back under her arm, Levy quickened her pace from a casual walking to a jog before sprint forward towards the Fairy Tail Guild. She was just passing the city park, with the guild insight, when a bright flash lit up the park. The sudden flash was accompanied by squawks of birds flying out of nearby trees. Levy looked at the scene with a surprised look, almost tripping from the sudden stop.
"Did you see that?" one of the towns people cried.
"Yeah. It looked like some kind of explosion."
"Inside the park? Now that I think about it, it's probably just one of Fairy Tail wizards. They could at least be a little more careful if they're going to do some training inside the city."
Small crowd that had formed near the park entrance began to dissolve, but Levy remained, staring with a look of curiosity and suspicion. Fairy Tail wizards were destructive, no one could deny that, but the Magnolia park was one place that even they knew better than cause trouble at. After getting several complaints from the mayor, Master Makarov had made it clear they were forbidden from training there. So someone or something else was the cause of the flash.
Once the last of the crowd had vanished, Levy raced down the dirt path leading into the park. A small bellow of white smoke acted as her guide as she traveled off the path and farther into the trees. Pushing limbs aside, Levy came to a sudden stop. A large smoking crater laided out before her with thick steam still rising from it. Resting motionlessly in the center of the crater was a teenage boy about the same age as Levy.
"Hey!" she called.
Moving past the edge, Levy carefully slide down the crater's steep slope. The boy didn't move when Levy reached his side and placed two fingers to his neck. "Good." Levy's shoulders relaxed. The boy had a steady pulse and his breathing seemed to be normal. That couldn't be said for the rest of him. His bright orange hair was in every direction; plastered against his forehead, casting shadows over his eyes. The clothes he wore, a simple pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt with black sleeves, were tattered and burnt in several places. The only thing that didn't look effected was the strange-looking piece of wood that hung from his belt loop by a chain.
"Who are you?" Levy asked quietly. She reached over and examined the pentagon shaped piece of wood. She brushed her fingers over the skull on the front of it and looked at it closely. Maybe it could give her a clue on who the orange-haired boy was. After coming up with a blank on the piece of wood, she sat it down before placing a hand on the boy's forehead. A worried frown appeared on Levy's face. The boy's skin was burning hot. He must have been in worst condition than she'd thought. "I need to get him some help, but there's no way I can move him on my own. I need some help." Tapping her fist in her hand it came to her.
"I'll be right back." she told the sleeping boy. "I'm going to get you some help." With that, Levy stood up and climbed out of the crater. Reading her new book would have to wait, someone needed Fairy Tail's help...
"Damn this guy is heavy."
"Quit your whining Natsu. He's only heavy because you're weak."
"Whatcha say ice boy!?"
"You hear me you pink-haired pyro!"
"Careful guys, don't drop him." Levy's sweatdropped as the two wizards butted heads, the orange-haired boy slumped down in their arms. She'd gotten back to the guild as quickly as she could and found the brawl that had been taking place when she left was still going strong. Through the over thrown tables and unconscious people she'd managed to find Natsu and Gray at each other's throats. It had taken some time to get their attention, but at last they got her news and agreed to come along. However the rivalry between the two had resurfaced once again. "He's slipping. Please try to get him back to the guild without dropping him."
"We'll settle this when we get back to the guild." Gray said, draping the boy's arm back over his shoulder. "I gotta say Levy, its weird that you just so happen to find this guy. Wish he was conscious so I can ask him how he made such a huge crater."
"Can't you tell?" Natsu asked. He had the boy's over arm over his shoulder as the two carried him towards the nearing guild. "I swear this guy is giving off a strong scent."
Gray raised an eyebrow out of annoyance. "Dude that's weird. You saying he stinks or something?"
"No, his scent just gives off a feeling of power so I bet he's strong. Man that makes me really want to fight this guy when he wakes up."
"Don't get ahead of yourself Natsu." Levy reminded him. The group finally reached the front door of the guild hall. Levy opened the door and made way for the boys. "Master Makarov will probably have questions for him when he wakes up." A little quieter she said to herself. "And so do I."
Luckily the fight had finally ended and the guild hall was going back to its usual cheery self. Everyone was happily drinking and laughing, completely ignoring the smashed furniture littering the floor. Over at the bar Mirajane Strauss was drying a glass when she notice Levy with Natsu and Gray who were supporting an orange-haired boy she'd never seen before. She had feeling something was up and walked out from behind the counter to the group.
"Mirajane." Levy noticed the S-class wizard approaching and beckoned her over. "We need to use one of the spare beds upstairs. This boy is in bad shape."
"Who is he?" she asked.
"I'll explain everything later, but he needs treatment soon."
Mirajane looked the boy over and nodded. "Oh my he is in bad shape. I'll prepare one of the rooms upstairs for him. Levy you might also when to get Wendy so she can use healing magic. Natsu and Gray, you two follow me."
Mira hurried upstairs and opened a door to one of the spare rooms. Gray and Natsu gently sat the boy on the cleared bed. His fever was rising and his breath was being to become more labored. Mira asked Gray to make some ice before ushering the him and Natsu out. The last thing she needed was the two starting a fight while she trying to take care of the stranger. The two boys were just leaving the room when Levy arrived with Wendy along side.
"Mira?" Wendy stayed at the doorway and looked hesitantly at the bed.
"It's ok Wendy, he's right here. He's sleeping, but a fever is burning him up. I can't do much with ice packs, so I'll need your help with your healing magic. Can I count on you?" The Sky Maiden nodded.
Wendy hurried over and stood next to the bed. Mirajane wrapped some of Gray's ice in a bag and rested it on the stranger's head. His breathing hadn't seemed to have gotten any worst, but it was still shallow. Beads of sweat began forming on his arms and face.
"I'll try to cool down his body." Mira said. "See what you can do with your magic."
The Dragon Slayer nodded and began using her healing magic. The blue waves of magical power flowed over the boy's body and over time signs of improvement could be seen. The burns and bruise began to fade away, along with skin's fever red color. After a while, the boy was sleeping peacefully once again. Wendy lowered her hands and a tired yawn escaped her lips. Her healing magic always seemed to take up all of her energy.
"He seems to be fine for now." Mirajane rubbed Wendy's shoulder and gave her an approving smile. "Well done Wendy."
Her face lit with a bright smile at Mirajane's praise. "It wasn't any problem really. He looked like he needed help so I help. But...can I ask you something Mira?"
"Hhmm? What's on your mind?"
"Well I've never seen this boy before in town, so I was just curious. Who is he and how'd he get all those burns and bruises?"
"Levy could tell you more about him than me." She pointed at Levy, who had been standing by the door the whole time. "I heard she was the one that found him."
Levy nodded. "I was walking back to the guild from the bookstore when there was a huge white flash in the park. I ran into the park to see what caused it and found him passed out in a crater. He was already all beat up when I got to him."
"Your think he might have been attacked?" Wendy asked. There was another guild in Magnolia called Twilight Ogre that was known for being violent and abusive. There was a chance they'd ganged up on and attacked the stranger.
"Dunno." Mira tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Best thing we can do is let him rest. Once he wakes up, the Master can question him." Mirajane placed her hands on Wendy's shoulders and steered her towards the door. "You need to rest too." The girls walked out the room and Mira puled the door shut...
The tall skyscrapers that made up Ichigo's inner world towered high up into the blue sky. There was no sign of any solid ground, just endless blue skies with occasion clouds and multiple skyscrapers. This was Ichigo's own world deep within his soul.
"Hey wake up! Get your worthless ass up!"
Ichigo's eyes shot wide open when he felt himself being lifted up. He wasn't completely aware of what was happening, until whoever was lifting him grab his throat in a steel grip.
"Long time no see...king." Hollow Ichigo's black eyes bore into Ichigo's. The Hollow's usual maniac grin wavered for a second, but quickly returned. "It's time that you and me had a little chat. I warned you this would happen if you screwed up again. Even Zangetsu agrees with me on this."
"Zangetsu? Where is he?" Ichigo demanded. He gripped both hands around the Hollow's wrist. "Answer me!"
"Oh he's over there." The inner Hollow nodded is head over to the edge of the skyscraper where Zangetsu stood, gazing off at the open sky. "Don't bother trying to call out to him, he can't hear you." He snickered before loosing his grip and letting Ichigo slump to ground; coughing and gagging. Hollow Ichigo looked at his with distaste and turned, walking til there was a reasonable gap between them. "I'll give you one last chance Ichigo. Mess up one more time and I'll take the crown for myself. We're not in the same world we were before. Whatever you did back in the lab stranded us here."
"Here? Where's here?"
Instead of answering, the Hollow just grinned as the image before him wavered and vanished.
"I think he's waking up. Levy, hurry and go get the Master."
Ichigo's eyes cracked open slightly before closing again. His head hurt and it felt like a bright light was shining right down on him. It took working up enough will power before Ichigo to finally open his eyes and looked. The light shining down on his was from a ceiling lantern hanging over him. He could tell he was in bed from the pillow he was resting on and the white flannel sheets that were pulled up to his chest. There was twitch of pain in his side as he tried to sit up.
"Easy, don't push your self." a girl's voice said calmly.
Ichigo turned his head to the side and his eyes came to rest on a white-haired girl. Her long platinum flowed down her back and her bangs were pulled up in a small ponytail. She wore a sleeveless scarlet dress that fit her like a coat of paint. She leaned over and felt his forehead and with a kind smile said. "It's ok, you've been out for a while."
"Who..." His throat felt dry. "Who are you?"
"My name is Mirajane. May I ask your name?"
The boy cleared his throat before answering. "Ichigo...Ichigo Kurosaki." He rubbed his temple and winced. Talk about a run of bad luck. This was the second time as of late that he'd woken somewhere other than his bed. Though the company this time seemed nicer than before. A pack of question ran around in his head before he cam up with one. "So where am I exactly?"
"You're in the Fairy Tail guild in Magnolia. You were found unconcious in the park by one of our members. Since you were in bad condition, we decided to bring you back here to heal you." She tilted her head and smiled. "Seems like it worked."
"I was injured?" Ichigo looked down at his arms, but saw no sign of anything out of the ordinary. He had been injured? The last thing he remembered was Mayuri threatening them right before... The memories gave flooding back to him. "Wait just me? Uh..Mirajane right?" The girl nodded. "Did you find anyone else? I was with two of my friends when we were...wait...this is the Soul Society right?"
The S-class mage looked confused. "The Soul Society? I'm sorry, but I've never heard of that place before. Like I said, this is the Fairy Tail guild in Magnolia." Noticing the boy's confused expression, she continued. "I probably shouldn't pry, but where did you think you were?"
"The Soul Society. You're a spirit right...wait no. I can sense you're human except there a powerful force coming from you." His eyes widened when the words of his inner Hollow creeped back into his mind. "We're not in the same world we were before. Whatever you did back in the lab stranded us here." Not the same world. He'd never heard of a place called Magnolia or of the Fairy Tail guild. What was a guild again, a kind of business group?
His eyebrow twitched a little as he looked up at Mirajane. An exasperated sigh escaped him. "This may sound crazy, but I don't think I'm in my world anymore..."
"He was waking up when I left Master, so please hurry."
Levy watched as the master of the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov Dreyar, gave an irritated groan. He was eighty-eight year old man whose height would never leave one to believe he was one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He walked up the stair to the second floor with his staff, while Levy waited at the top.
"You kids need to remember I'm an old man. I can't barely keep up with you youngsters." Levy laughed lightly once Master Makarov reached the top. The two walked down a few doors before arriving at the room with the open door. Inside Mirajane was talking to the now fully awake boy, who noticed when the two walked in.
"Well you must be the boy Levy was telling me about." Makarov walked to the bedside and extended his hand. "Names Makarov Dreyar. I am Fairy Tail's guild master."
"Ichigo Kurosaki." the boy replied, accepting the hand with his own.
"So Ichigo, from what I've heard, you like resting in craters if I'm not mistaken."
Ichigo chuckled. "Usually not, only on rare occasions."
"Well it seems the wounds you sustained have healed. Of course that leaves me wondering how you got banged up in the first place. Care to tell an old man your story?"
"I don't think you'd believe me if I told you. Even I still don't know all the details entirely." He closed his eyes and thought a moment before beginning. "Well for starters, I'm not from this world." The shocked look on their the old man's caused him to hesitate. "And well...Mirajane here told me this world is called Earthland, while my world is just called Earth."
"Your from another world?" Levy asked timidly. Ichigo nodded. "But how did you get here?"
"Like I said, I don't know all the details. I was being held captive in the lab of a crazy scientist..." The three wizards gave him an odd look. "Yeah I know how it sounds, but it's the truth. Anyway, when I broke out I destroyed one of his weird machines. When I destroyed it it exploded and there was a bright flash. Next thing I know I wake up here in bed. Believe it or not, that's what happened."
The old man stroked him mustache and hummed to himself quietly. He looked like was thinking hard on what Ichigo had said, even Levy and Mirajane looked at each other with concern. Ichigo's story had been an odd thing to here, but it wasn't impossible. They'd heard of the world of Edolas were some of the Fairy Tail members had went to rescue the others, it also being the home of the former member Mystogan. If there was one other dimension besides Earthland, who's to say there isn't another.
Old man Makarov tapped his staff several time on the floor. He opened his eyes, a sign that he'd come up with a verdict. "I believe you Ichigo. The one that found you, Levy," he point his staff at the blue-haired girl. "said there was a bright flash in the park right before she found you. It's very unlikely someone would tell a story like that unless it was the truth. You seemed to be confused about what happened, but rest assured we'll be here to help. You may remain here at the Fairy Tail guild until you find a way home. If there's anything you need, we'd be glad to help. Now, do you have any questions?"
"I appreciate the help and I do have one question. What exactly is the Fairy Tail guild?"
Makarov smiled. "Fairy Tail is the strongest magical guild in all of Fiore. We are one big family here that do various wizard jobs given to us by clients."
"Magic? As is an real magic?"
Makarav raised an eyebrow. "Yes. Do they not have magic in your world?"
"Well there's Kido spells, but I never really considered it magic. In my world, most people believe magic isn't real. But this world actually has wizards and mages huh?" The guild master nodded. "Well that's something I look forward to getting to know about." Ichigo threw the sheets off his leg before placing his feet on the floor. Mirajane instantly rushed to his side and placed a hand on his chest and shoulder to support him.
"You shouldn't be getting out of bed yet. Your wounds have only recently healed." A faint blush gathered in her cheeks when Ichigo gave her one of his rare smiles.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. I've had worst injuries before."
Mira was a little hesitant, but nodded before letting go. She felt her cheek and was surprised when she noticed how warm it was. "What's wrong with me? Getting all flustered for no reason." She shook her head to clear it. She hadn't been blushing had she?
"Anyway Ichigo." Makarov ushered the boy to follow him. "Since you seem to be in a bit of a pickle, I think a tour of the guild is in order. If your going to be here awhile, getting to know Fairy Tail will be very important."
"Sounds good to me." Ichigo nodded in agreement. "Though I'd like to hear a little more about this world if you have time?"
The old man laughed. "That I do my boy, that I do. But if your interested in learning, Levy if the person to talk to."
Ichigo looked over at the member of Shadow Gear. "Can you?"
She nodded eagerly. "Sure, I have a lot of books you can look through and I think I can explain any other question you have." She looked shyly down at her feet and fidgeted a little. "And if it's not a bother, I'd like to ask you some questions. About your world and all." When Ichigo nodded, Levy cheered. She'd been curious about this strange boy since she'd found him in the park. Maybe now some of her questions would be answered. Leading out the door, Levy wavered a hand for him to follow. "The books are in the study. After you're done, I wouldn't mind giving you that tour of the guild."
Ichigo ran a hand through his hair before giving a bid of farewell to Makarov and Mira. Placing his hands in his pockets, Ichigo trailed behind Levy as she lead towards the study.
Far far away from Magnolia, on the outer borders of the Kingdom of Fiore sat a stone castle surround by desolate land and unexplored forests. It was perfectly hidden from the prying eyes of the Magic Council and the Fiore Royal Military. A perfect place for a Dark Guild of the Balam Alliance. The Dusk Hunter guild.
This powerful Dark Guild was a puppet guild under the control of the Balam Alliance. After the destruction of the Oracion Seis, the void was fill with Dusk Hunter. A powerful guild working on the outskirts of Fiore.
Inside the castle was an eerie throne room lit only by a few candles. Dark shadows were cast out across the dark room, but silhouettes of figures sitting and eating could be seen. Resting in the stone throne at the head of the room was a dark figure. Even in the dark it was easy to tell he was a regular sized man will an average frame.
There was complete silence in the dark throne room with the exception of the sound of eating and drinking. The noise stopped instantly when the figure in the throne stood up. All the silhouettes turned to him and waited for him to speak.
"The day is drawing near." the figure stated in a neutral voice. "We've waited long enough in the shadow of Grimoire Heart and Tartarus. It's time we make our mark on this land. And the first thing that needs to go is..." He spat the word with disgust. "Fairy Tail."
Whispers echoed around the room, but they were instantly silenced when the dark figure's body began glowing with dark magical energy.
"The Dusk Hunter guild will be hunting fairies. Began preparations."
The silhouettes stood up and faced the figure. "Yes guild master..."
Author's Note: Well that's the first chapter of my first Bleach/Fairy Tail crossover. Not a lot of action in this chapter, but that's because this mostly for setting the scene and getting intros out of the way. I hope it's been to your liking so far. I now I still need to make improvements. Since I'm still developing my writing skills, I plan on this story getting better with each chapter. Since the anime restarted next week, I should get plenty of new ideas.
This Xover will have a Filler Arc style plot. Ichigo has regained his Soul Reaper powers and defeated Ginjo, but the Quincy haven't showed up yet. It takes place after the Grand Magic Games arc, but it won't be part of the next arc. New villains, new characters, and a new story line. There are a lot of Fairy Tail/Bleach crossovers with Ichigo being sent to Earthland, but I'm going to make this as original as possible.
All the canon Fairy Tail pairing will appear in this story along with Ichigo possibly snagging a girl. We'll have to wait and see.
Please leave a review and let me know how I did. Next update will be in May. If it's got your interest, follow/favorite it. Later.
