The OC's for this story are also used in my Rise of the Guardians/Digimon Adventure crossover 'Digimon Adventures and Guardian Belief', the first chapter of which are bios for all of them. I hope you enjoy this one just as much.

Fiore; a country of limitless magic, of guilds and comrades, and of Fairy Tail.

There are hundreds of stories chronicling their adventures, of their great feats and unshakable loyalty…

But this is not one of them.

For hidden in this world, the magic known as Archive has given birth to a force more powerful than any Fiore has ever seen.

As darkness rises from this new world, it is up to a chosen few to harness this magic and save both worlds from utter destruction.

For now, it is up to fairies and monsters.

The sky was beautifully clear that day, the grass soft and spring-bright beneath bare feet as trees stretched out their thick branches to make a canopy of shading leaves overhead.

All in all, a wonderful day for lazing about and enjoying time with friends.

Sprawled out on her back, Casey basked in the noontime sun, the dark red of her hair curling like flowers amidst the green as half-lidded gold eyes took in the blue sea overhead.

Laughter burst up from her right, where Faye was running in mad twists to keep from being tagged, all the tie-dye colors of her hair flashing at every turn.

Ally giggled as she gave chase, blonde hair flashing in the sunlight as she skidded and flailed to keep her balance, big green eyes bright with joy.

Sitting in the shade of a large oak, Kim raised her own dark blue gaze from the sketchpad on her lap, expression blank as a black braid slid over one shoulder.

"Be careful!" Ma warned, brown eyes warm despite the concern on her face as a stray breeze played with her chocolate-brown hair.

"Gravity Change!"

Turning the game on it's head, Faye lifted her up, light as a feather, by the hips, spinning so Ally shrieked with laughter.

Looking up from the Archive screens before her, Bee blinked the shadows of code from her big purple eyes, half-hidden by dark hair.

Stumbling once she was back on her own two feet, Ally fisted the fabric of her white shirt, knees trembling with the effort to stay upright as she tried to breathe through her laughter.

Ma shook her head, fond and a bit exasperated, as Faye gave a familiar perverted grin.

"Nice panties, Al." The multi-colored teenager teased, laughing outright when Ally squeaked, pulled down the emerald ruffles of her skirt to once again hide her lacy undergarments.

"Faye!"

"Eyes up, Faye." Casey ordered, lazily rolling onto her hands and knees to stand. "No time to get that distracted."

"Aw…"

"What have you got, Bee?" She wondered, pulling her hair up into a ponytail.

With a practiced flick of her wrists, Bee flipped all the screens for the others to crowd around, text scrolling lazily.

"A-All the i-incident reports, w-witness statements, p-police notes…"

"Approximately thirty suspects." Kim noted, taking in the words with the efficiency one usually gained from Gale-Force Reading Glasses. "One mage. Practices Earth Magic."

"They seem to be focusing on theft." Ma pointed out, a frown tugging at her mouth. "Magic shops, antique stores…"

"Any common threads?" Casey wondered, mind whirring as she formulated and disposed of tactics at breakneck speeds.

"N-Nothing…" Bee admitted, eyes downcast.

"Wait a minute…" Faye piped up, inching closer to the screens. "All of them use Archive magic to keep track of records."

A jolt raced down Casey's spine at that, and Kim sent her a quiet look.

Shaking the reaction off, her expression hardened into a battle-ready mask.

"Location?"

"I-It's been n-narrowed down t-to the n-n-northern outskirts o-of Magnolia…" Bee informed them, bringing up a map where said area was highlighted.

"Alright, upload now." Casey ordered, every inch a general before her troops. "We'll split into two groups to search. Kim, Bee, you two are with me. Ma, you've got Faye and Ally. If anyone finds their headquarters, try not to make direct contact and send a signal. Clear?"

"Clear." The group echoed as the map finished uploading.

Blinking the shadows of it from her vision, Casey motioned for her sub-group to follow, far too used to the feeling to be bothered by it now.

"We'll come around from the east, so you guys take the west. Meet up in the middle if no one finds anything."

All of them nodded, splitting off to circle the city and go about their searches.

Following Kim and Casey through the underbrush, Bee closed most of her Archive screens, pausing for a moment when one refused to go.

Code raced across in a blur, her eyes flickering to catch each symbol, brow furrowing as a strange pattern formed…

"Focus." Kim warned, dark blue eyes cutting towards the distracted brunette before returning to a thorough scan of the forest.

Flushing, Bee hastily minimizing the screen to her peripheral.

"Whatever you're looking at can wait until after the bust." Casey assured, sending back a smile. "Wouldn't want one of those bastards to get a lucky shot in, right?"

Bee nodded, mute, as her gaze shifted down.

Still, it was strange…

The Archive had never done such a thing before.
