Mex

Summary: Mex follows a 16-year-old boy named Rei Mitsuo, one of the millions of people possessed by this dark magic known as Mex. Rei was able to overcome the dark magic and now uses it for good. Eventually, not only him but others would overcome their dark sides and join him in cleansing the world. But as darker secrets and bad pasts are revealed, it's up to Rei to stop this power of Mex from taking over the world. And as the resistance to Mex grows, ten different groups of Mex Guardians are created to dash any hopes of light magic (that results from overcoming Mex's dark magic) that could destroy Mex. But one question is raised for Rei. Who and what is Mex?

Chapter 1: Mex in a million

Up in a tree, Rei unfolds a map that leads to a city in the south called takahabara Beach City, known for being the first city in the world to be contracted by Mex. The city was the largest in its country with two ports located on different ends of the city.

Rei: "So this is the city huh? According to the map, there's a port nearby, so I just have to sneak on board without causing any fuss."

Rei jumps down the trees and into the bushes. He then runs throught the woods in hopes of not being seen. His clothes were already torn apart, most likely from just escaping a skirmish between himself and a group of people. His backpack was also torn but not enough to drop all the items inside.

Rei: "Next stop, Akiba City!"

Rei makes it to the port which wasn't guarded at all, making it easy for him to climb aboard and settle inside a crate full of sheets. Rei makes himself comfortable as he takes out some chips from his backpack along with bottled water. The ship Rei snuck into began its sail. Crew members on the ship began to move crates to a secure area, including the one Rei was in. Out of curiosity, Rei peeked towards the person pushing his crate. It was a female that looked almost too young to push such heavy crates. Her eyes were completely lifeless, along with everyone else who was under the control of Mex. Her hair was dark red, which matched her eyes. She wore a white shirt that was shredded along her waist. The same could be said about her short blue jeans.

Rei: "[What's going on in the world? I want to help but I barely made it out of my last fight...]"

Rei's pushed crate stopped. Crew members began to surround Rei's crate carrying chains, bats, knives, and whatever other weapon was available.

Rei: "They found me out already? I thought I'd at least make it to Akiba before they'd find me."

Rei jumps out of the crate where crew members waited, including the girl who pushed his crate who seemed to only be using her fists.

Rei: "I can't fight all of these people by myself..."

In a distance, Rei noticed the island only a few miles away. Looking elsewhere, he saw an emergency boat dangling from the edge of the ship.

Rei: "Heh, guess I won't have to."

All the crew members lunged at Rei with their weapons, but Rei quickly dodged the incoming attacks. This caued the crew to actually hit each other repeatedly and eventually, knock everyone around him out. The girl that pushed his crate hadn't moved. She was still holding her fists up, ready to take him on 1-on-1.

Rei: "Hmm. You're the girl that pushed the crate I was in earlier." Rei put on a wide smile across his face. "I honestly don't think you should be doing something like that. It isn't natural, you know?"

The girl remained motionless. Rei approached her and held out his hand.

Rei: "You look like you're in need of help. You can come with me if you like."

She put her left arm down and lifted her right hand to Rei's face to release a force that knocked Rei back into barrels that were nearby.

Girl: "You are a threat to Mex. I will destroy you."

Rei: "So you can talk. Cool!" Rei still kept the large smile on his face. "What's your name?"

Girl: "My name..."

[7 years ago]

Both my parents died in a car accident. I was alone. I always sat in the street in the rain, hoping someone would at least adopt me. But...they all walked past me.

Child: "Mommy, who is that person sitting there?"

Mother: "Ignore her. Come on, let's go."

Child: "But she doesn't look so good... Hey, what's your name?"

Mother: "I said let's go!"

The boy gives her some bread.

Child: "Here you go! That should last you today and tomorrow! Bye!"

[Present]

Girl: "I wonder...who was that person?"

Rei: "Huh? Oh, I should tell you my name first! Haha! I'm Rei! So what's your name?"

She looks at her hand in horror. A shock went through her as she collapsed to the floorboard.

(The power of Mex...The darkest of all known magic...and this girl is resisting it...?)

Girl: "Uhn..." She gets up to find herself in a small boat with Rei. "Eh? ... EEEHHHH!? Wh-Where are we and who're you?!"

Rei was fishing.

Rei: "Oh it's about time you woke up. I got bored waiting so...I caught about 4 fishes so far. By the way..."

Rei and the girl were in the middle of nowhere.

Rei: "...do you know where we are? I'm lost."

**Note from Uncouth: Hello everyone! Welcome to a brand new story called Mex! As you all have read in the summary, this is a parody of the anime/manga Fairy Tail. When I say parody...I mean there are some similar themes that Mex will have. So maybe tell me what you all think about this new story. As for my other story, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rainbow is continuing as normal just having some "issues" with getting chapters updated weekly like they're supposed to. But back to this story, I really see the potential of popularity this new story will bring! Uncouth out.**
