Welcome to my newest Fairy Tail story. This one is not conected to my other story. It starts during the Phantom Lord Arc but will after that skip a few arcs... and after that as well. I will go after the manga and the anime because some of arcs in the anime I quit enjoyed.

Disclaimer time then. If you see any song lyrics in this that you might recognize they are not my, when I rewrite the songs used in this story I try to keep the original song out and just use the melodies... sometimes that doesn't work but you will notice that. So I don't own all songs that appears. I don't own Fairy Tail either.

There might be some OOC moments but it's for a reason and some characters will be a bit overly powerful but I think that it's almost ridiculous that only certain characters get stronger every few arcs and not others. Anyway on with the show.

Interlude

Time flows, time flows like a river
A long time the Mountain Kings have lived
Dawn, day, dusk and night they watch us
The Mountain Kings are watching from the mountains

One castle, one castle amongst the mountains
There the Mountain Kings are guarding
Marble, bone, wood and iron
The Mountain Kings are watching from the mountains

Time flows, time flows like water
The Mountain Kings are hidden in the mountain
For 700 years they have been hiding
The Mountain Kings are watching from the mountains

Seven colors, seven colors of the rainbow
The Mountain Kings shine with their brilliance
The springs flow through the forests
The Mountain Kings are watching from their fortress

Time runs, time flows like water
The Mountain Kings are hidden in the mountain
For 700 years they have been hiding
The Mountain Kings are watching from the mountains

"That is a pretty song", Evergreen said as she sat down beside him by the river. Freed smiled at her in a gentle way and held his arm out. With a smile Evergreen snuggled close to him. They had been through a rough couple of days. The mission they had taken turned out to be far more dangerous than they had expected. It had been a lure to get a hold of a female wizard from Fairy Tail. Some rich man was looking for his daughter and it appeared she was hiding in Fairy Tail. The thugs sending them the mission flyer were not part of any guild. They had snapped up the news from some members from Phantom Lord. So they had no idea what the real girl looked like. They had just decided to get whatever girl they could. The result was Evergreen being kidnapped.

It had taken her two friends days to find her. And when they did they had been forced to fight like crazy. Bickslow and Evergreen had gotten hurt, Bickslow worse than Evergreen but Freed managed to defeat their enemies… without much effort. The thing with Freed was that he didn't really like showing off his true powers. But when someone hurt the people that meant the most to him he had no problem doing it. He'd beaten the bad guys and got them out of there in little over five minutes.

Now they were resting in the forest. Well Bickslow was resting and Evergreen had been resting while Freed kept watch, like always. Seriously the guy never seemed to sleep. Maybe it was because his powers were dark, Evergreen didn't know.

"So who are the Mountain Kings?" Evergreen asked.

"I don't know", Freed said and smiled. "It's a song I learned long ago."

"It's still pretty."

"Not as pretty as you", Freed said gently and nuzzled her hair gently. Evergreen laughed. She knew Freed was only doing it to cheer her up. There was no romantic feelings between the two of them. Bickslow groaned and sat up. He pouted.

"No fair", he said. "I want cuddles too!"

"Then come here", Evergreen told him. Bickslow grinned and hurried over to them. They cuddled close and Freed started humming that song again. Evergreen smiled and closed her eyes, just listening to his voice. Bickslow grinned and hummed along after a bit. Suddenly Freed stopped.

Freed's POV

"Freed?" Evergreen and looked up at me. I had seen something, a small light in front of us. "What's that?"

"Trouble", I said and reached out and touched the light. I knew what it was. "Freed Justine speaking."

The light grew bigger and now we could see that it was Mirajane calling us. She usually didn't do things like this.

"Oh thank God I got a hold of you", she said.

"What's the matter Mirajane", I asked politely. "You seem troubled."

"Phantom Lord has attacked us", Mira said and I felt my eyes widen slightly. Bickslow and Evergreen sat up straight. "They nearly destroyed the guild hall, then they attacked Levy, Jet and Droy. We went to get revenge but Master got badly injured. We've been trying to locate Mystogan and Laxus but only you have answered so far. Please we need your help, Phantom Lord are sure to attack us again."

"Most likely", I said. "Say are their target the guild itself or a girl by the name Lucy Heartfilia?"

"How did you know about that?" Cana asked and appeared by Mira's shoulder.

"The mission we took was a trap to capture her", I continued calmly. "They kidnapped Ever so we've spent some time paying them back for that. Now will you please answer my question since I answered yours?"

Cana just huffed in annoyance. But Mira nodded.

"That's right", she said. "Her father wants her back and Phantom Lord are trying to get the prize money. Her father is really rich and she ran away from home to be free."

"I see so that's why" I thought. "I'm sorry Mira but-"

"Don't you care that she's one of our guild members!?" Cana yelled. That woman was so impatient at times it gave me a headache.

"Will you-"

"You are a worse jerk than your boss Freed Justine", Cana continued.

"Cana-"

"She's one of us and you're just gonna let Phantom have her!? Who knows what those sick bastards will do to her! And they've ruined our home and hurt Gramps! Doesn't that matter to you?"

"If you would let me finish you would know where we stand", I replied calmly, losing your temper with Cana would only make matters worse. "We would love to help if we were able to."

"What's that supposed to mean!?"

"Our job request took us on a trip that takes two weeks with a train Cana", I responded calmly even though I really wanted to spit it out angrily. "We want to help but I'm not sure we can get there in time."

"Will you at least try?" Mira asked.

"You have my word", I replied. "We will do our best but I'm still not sure it will be enough."

"Please that's all I ask", Mira said and hung up on us.

Bickslow and Evergreen turned to me and I sighed heavily. There was one way for us to get there and hopefully on time. I got up slowly.

"Freed", Evergreen asked and got up as well. "We'll never get there in time."

"We have to try", I said.

"But how", Bickslow asked and got up too. "Even if we flew it would take us weeks to get there!"

"I know that", I answered and turned to them. "But we can teleport."

They stared at me. They knew I could break my body down into small runes and teleport them a short distance. What they didn't know was that I could travel further distances too… if I wanted to. All I needed was a goal rune. I had set up those all over Magnolia just in case. If one of us got badly injured or worse… died. Every new place we got to, every new camp we made… at each place I would set up a goal rune so I could take us back to safety if I had to. But I needed to use a lot of power to do it just for me, so how much would it take to teleport all seven of us. Yes I needed to include Bickslow's babies as well. They were part of my team just as much as their master and Evergreen.

"You can't teleport that far!" Evergreen objected.

"Watch me", I stated calmly.

"How exactly are we going to do this?" Bickslow asked worriedly.

"Just grab your things and hold on to me", I ordered. "And don't bother me."

"What do you mean?" Evergreen said and gripped my arm. Bickslow placed his hands on my shoulders and his babies fit into my pockets, nuzzled up to my neck or sat on my head. I closed my eyes.

"I need to concentrate", I said and tried to picture the destination rune in front of me. "If I lose focus we might lose our lives."

"Say what!?" Bickslow yelled. "I wanna get off this ride!" But before he could let go of me something happened. I knew what it was but it must've freaked them out. Suddenly the whole area around us turned purple and seemed to fall away piece by piece. Had anyone watched us it would've looked as if we were turning into small runes that would then disappear. I felt the familiar feeling of being lighter than air, the feeling of not having a solid form. I smiled a little. It tickled like always. I could hear Bickslow snigger and his babies giggled like crazy. Ever was trying to keep her laughter back. Yes it did tickle a lot but I was used to it so I didn't let their merriment disturb me. I was focusing on my rune in the library of the Guild Hall. I was picturing it on the wall by my favorite table in the corner. I was picturing the library in front of me. The muffled sounds of the commotion from the guild hall. The smell of dust and old books. The feeling of calm I always had in there. The warmth the room offered. The feeling of the chair I used to sit in. The feeling of the warm sunlight coming in through the windows. The laughter from my guild sounding a bit far away. It was so familiar. It was warm. It was comforting and it was home. I opened my eyes.

"Here we go", I said.

"Here we what?" Bickslow asked and then gasped as it felt as if someone grabbed my hands and pulled me forward at a lightning speed. Bickslow held onto me for dear life. He never really liked high speeds like this. Evergreen clutched my arm firmly and closed her eyes tightly. I smiled. They just weren't used to it. As we flashed through the world I felt a nagging feeling and turned my head slightly. There in the shadows of the deepest part of my mind I could see it. The castle. It was getting closer. Now I could actually make out its shape, like the sketched outlines on one of Reedus' paintings. It was closer now and it made my heart take a little leap. Oh shit I lost focus for a second! This wasn't good.

There we go I hope you like it... well it wasn't much but I'm sure we'll get there in time ;) Please review! :D
