The Fall of Fiore
A/N: Hey guys! How's it going? From the 18th Opening from fairy tail, I Started Writing this fan Fiction, so that I would quickly express my ideas, not to lose track of what I was writing. This chapter will not introduce every Family in the "business", nor will it introduce every character!
Chapter 1 – A New Boss in The Business
It was at broad daylight, and no one had been there. The manliest of tears had now to be shed. A picture of an old man next to a coffin was ready to be laid to rest, after the great man's death. Everyone was crying, and everyone blamed themselves, for not being there.
To think that a Rival gang would stoop so low as to kill their boss at broad daylight. And Why? What could they be hoping to achieve with that hit and run? Every man that served the great boss would rather have died than bury him now.
All These questions were Over a Blonde man, which had a lightning scar on his eye. He was crying over the coffin, over the great man that had raised him, that had given him everything that he had. It was time for vengeance. He knew that there were few Criminal Syndicates in town, and all of the important members from each syndicate had high bounties on their heads.
The Electric Bulldog Tribe, the most influential Mafia that existed in Magnolia. Its leader, Makarov Dreyar, had just fallen at the hands of an enemy Family, and no one knew each one. Their Family had been targeted so many times, and by so many enemies, that they couldn't even begin to imagine who could have done such a thing.
"MEN! Today, we've lost a great man. But do not let that take us down. We're made of great men. I promise, that one day, I'll take down whoever did this, personally." Said The Blonde man, as tears ran through his face.
A green haired Man that was dressed in a black suit, came close to the Blonde man, putting a hand on his shoulder as tears ran through his face as well.
"The Heir to our Family shall be Laxus Dreyar. That would have been the wish of our late Boss." Said The Green haired man.
"Thank you, Freed. I appreciate those kind words." Said Laxus.
"Men, I have a mission for you. I want you to find out who did this, and why. Now." Said Laxus, Trying to hold back the rest of his tears.
The men all made one last Trooper-like Salute to the fallen boss, and went to the crime scene. Although he had been killed, it was in an area from Magnolia where Crime was abundant. The police had little to no influence there, so, the rival families had control over the neighborhoods, protecting the people from robbery and rival families, at the cost of a small fee, to keep their services running.
Their Boss being killed in their main Neighborhood was bad for business. If they can't protect their own flesh and blood, who will they protect?
As the Men gave their last farewells and left to seek vengeance for their Boss's death, Laxus and Freed paid their Final Respects to their fallen Boss before allowing the remaining men that were still in the graveyard to finally bury the coffin, as you could see in the tombstone:
"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day."
As the last pieces of dirt covered the coffin, Laxus and Freed regained their composure and decided to head towards their headquarters, passing by many of their man in the way, as security around the people who paid for protection rose.
Freed and Laxus entered their headquarters as they were bowed down to by every member they passed through, as being their two most important people in the family.
They entered the elevator and went up to the last floor, the 18th.
As they entered the 18th floor and entered the most secure office of all, the Boss's office. No one could enter without the boss's approval, and Laxus as the new boss, took Freed inside to discuss a plan of attack.
As they both entered the room, Freed Locked the door before Laxus sat down and signaled Freed to do the same.
"Freed, I want to know what your ideas are to take care of whoever killed Gramps. I need your help. Do we go straight for a raid, causing more attention? Or do we set undercover members from our family to act as double agents?" Asked Laxus.
"Double agents. The Raid would not only cause too much attention, it would create a lot more spark from other families as the police would certainly raise the budget of the anti-Family Units they have, creating unnecessary problems for us. My question is, who do you think would fit the job as double agent?" Asked Freed, looking Laxus in the eye.
"Depending on whom we're dealing with. I have a hard time believing it, but it's possible that whoever killed gramps was just a low – life criminal. But, it doesn't seem like it, there was little trace behind, so it must have been a pro, let's wait." Said Laxus
(In the Scene of the Murder)
A man with white hair and with a group of stitches under his right eye was checking the area, followed by another man wearing a mask covering the top of his head.
"Bickslow, help me here. I Think I found something." Next to a post, there was a piece of thorn dress.
"So, was the murder female? Or was it someone he was with?" Asked Bisckslow.
"I don't know, Although I'd like to think that even as an old man he was having his fun, It's hard to think that a young woman would be dressed like this around here." He said.
"Elfman, let's show that to the boss. I'm sure that Freed will have some answers." Said Bickslow.
The two men went back to the Headquarters, and with permission from the higher ups from the family, they entered the 18th floor.
The two men knocked on the door.
On the other side, the door was now unlocked, and was opened by a tall green haired man.
"Bickslow, Elfman. It's good to have you here. The boss would like to know of your progress." Said Freed, as Laxus watched.
"Well, Sir, we've found a thorn piece of cloth that seems to be from a dress. Knowing that no one has been in the area of death after the Boss's death, we think that this cloth is from the Dress of either the murderer or the companion." Said Elfman.
"Why not a hooker? I know that my Grandfather did like hookers, although he stopped seeing them a little after I was born. But that is a very slim chance. Anyway, Freed, what do you make of this?" Asked Laxus.
Freed grabbed the piece of Cloth before making assumptions. "This piece of cloth is from a very known company of women Clothing if I'm not mistaken. Boss, with your permission, I'll look into it." He said.
"Do it. Whatever clues we have may be useful in finding whoever was the culprit." Said Laxus.
"Now, Elfman, Bickslow. Good job. That is all, please return to help the protection duties." Said Laxus.
Both men made their known trooper-like Salute before leaving.
Laxus sat down in his chair, before looking at a picture of his late grandfather.
"Grandpa, I will avenge you. Even if it costs me my life. Trust me, Grandpa."
(The Electric Bulldog Tribe's Headquarters , 2 hours later.)
Freed Quickly ran up the stairs towards the 18th floor, as he got there, he knocked onto the boss's door, before he was authorized to enter.
"Freed, you seem startled, what's wrong?" Asked Laxus.
"This piece of cloth turned out to be the biggest clue yet." Said Freed
"How come?" Asked Laxus, surprised.
Freed took out the piece of cloth before showing it to Laxus. "Sir, this is a big discovery. According to reliable sources, the company that produces these dresses seems to have connections to the biggest female Criminal Family there is in Magnolia, Their name is the Ice Queens." Said Freed.
"I see. But we do not have females in our family, not any that I would send In such a dangerous job." Said Laxus. "Only if we decide to send our best flirters." He kept on going.
"That just might work, Sir. May I know who you're talking about?" Asked Freed.
"Well, our two new recruits. The Flame kicker Natsu Dragneel and the Ice boy Gray Fullbuster." Said Laxus.
"Sir, with all due respect, Although Gray might be fit for the job, wouldn't Natsu get in the way? He's a tremendous fighter, but as a lover boy? I just don't see it, why not send Loke?" Asked Freed.
"Sir Freed, there are some men we just cannot let go past our hands. Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster are two of them. If they were connected to the murder, then they must be informed of our members, to infiltrate someone they know would be…. Dangerous, to say the very least. Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster are the most recent members. They'll be arriving from Hargeon's Drug pick-up pretty soon, and when they do, we'll get them ready to go. Freed. Meet them in a disclosed location. Tell them to meet you there without coming through headquarters, who knows what those women know. You pick up the Drugs. If you come back with a bag, they'll think you took care of the drugs and won't think of the existence of more members. Get them ready and give them their last notifications before sending them to the Ice Queen's turf." Said Laxus.
"Sir." Said Freed before Saluting Laxus and leaving.
Freed picked up his phone and sent both Natsu and Gray a Text.
The Electric Bulldog Tribe also had warehouses and garages outside out of town, for this kind of disclosed encounters.
Natsu and Gray were meeting outside the train station, and exchanged bags. Each one containing what they had acquired.
Natsu then picked up his phone and read Freed's Text containing the Coordinates where to meet him.
Gray also saw the text, and went to that disclosed location right away.
This warehouse was just outside of town, where Freed could meet Natsu and Gray without repercussions.
After 30 Minutes inside, Natsu and Gray left the Building, but instead of being dressed in their normal Mafia Suits, they were dressed in blue tuxedos, as if they were going to meet high society.
Natsu and Gray then received a call from Freed.
"Natsu, Gray. I want the two of you to do what I Said, discreetly. Meet someone from the ice queens, and try to gain their confidence, by what I've heard the Ice queens should have a male division somewhere, the best you could do is try to join them, There's a bar that those women attend to usually every day, in that case, you should be successful. The Boss is counting on you." Said Freed before telling Natsu the coordinates and Hanging up.
Gray was driving the car as Natsu put his phone back in his pocket.
"New orders?" Asked Gray?
"He was just giving us some more details. It seems those girls have a bar they go to every day, we should be able to get in." Said Natsu, as he signaled Gray to take a turn to their right.
At that moment they had just entered the Ice queen's Turf. They knew that from now on it was life or death.
Natsu signaled Gray to stop the car.
"Entering with a car like this will raise unwanted attention. Let's walk from here; it's just a few minutes on foot." He said as he left the car.
Gray stopped and left the car as well, both well-dressed with blue tuxedos, as if they were about to meet royalty.
Gray and Natsu were on the way to the bar as they spotted a group of well-dressed women entering the bar.
"Do you think It's them?" Asked Natsu
"Only one way to find out. Let's follow them" Said Gray as he started walking towards the bar entrance.
A security guard in the bar entrance required their Identification before entering in the bar, to confirm they were over 18.
Natsu and Gray were both 20 years old, as shown their Identification Cards, the guard allowed them to enter the facility.
The bar was big, with a lot of big group tables, allowing multiple people to come in big groups. The seats were all covered with little red carpets, same color of all the walls.
Natsu and Gray were sitting next to each other in the bar, ordering their drinks, each one ordering a beer. Both turned around, back facing the counter while they looked around for someone who could be from the Ice queen family.
It was although, a difficult task, since there were many women walking around in the bar, most of them wearing fancy dresses.
"The Girls here do like to dress, don't they?" Asked Gary, looking for a girl who could be related to the Ice Queens.
"They certainly do…" Said Natsu, almost Drooling.
From the other side of the bar, a girl got annoyed, and all that was possible to hear was a slap.
Gray and Natsu turned around, to see a guy with orange hair getting slapped by a bright blonde chick.
"Loke! It's you man! Getting slapped, again?" Asked Natsu, not even worrying about blowing his cover.
"Natsu! Gray! What are you two doing in this side of town?" Asked Loke, surprised.
Although Loke had been a long date friend for Natsu and Gray, he didn't know about them joining the Electric Bulldog Tribe. Loke put his hands on Natsu and Gray's shoulder and called the woman that was serving the drinks.
"Miss? Three Vodka Shots here!" He shouted. The woman was wearing a red dress and had bright white hair, tied not to cover her forehead.
The girl nodded, as she went to the back of the counter to pick up the shot glasses. As she put the shots in the glasses, Loke was already singing, because of the existence of a Karaoke Machine in the Bar.
The Girl got close to Natsu and Gray and handed them three Vodka shots, as Natsu told her to put it on his tab.
While Natsu was talking to the waitress, Gray noticed the Waitress had on her left thigh one tattoo. Trying not to attract attention to himself, he decided to take a picture with his phone discreetly.
As the Girl left to deliver more drinks, Gray turned to Natsu before showing him the picture.
"Natsu. This picture, this tattoo was on that Girl's Thigh. it looks like a Crown made of ice. What do you make of it?" Asked Gray
"Well, Queens do have crowns right? So, I'm betting she's a member from the Ice queens. It seems like the Ice queens don't come to this bar… They own it." Said Natsu
A/N:
So, what do you think of the idea I had for my new fanfiction? I know my Inextinguishable flames fanfic is not over, and I'm still writing it, but I had this brilliant idea midway, so I had to just write it :D
