Note: Welcome to the Second Faity tail/Gundam seed "Book" Known as Fairy Tail: Legacy of Zeref. We got Action, Adventure, and total stupidity of Natsu up ahead, so lets get to it! I own nothing.
Chapter 1: Memories and Practice
Lucy's eyes hurriedly scanned her gundam's monitor for her foe, beads of sweat rolling down her face. Explosions rocked her suit around as random projectiles flew around and hit their marks. Her gundam, the Nobel Gundam, was built with her in mind, showing her personality in the load-out and design. It also had a "berserker mode" to deal with situations like the one she was in right now. She finally found her target, a white mech known as the Strike Gundam, engines screaming as it flew towards her, Armor Schneiders drawn.
Lucy took a calming breath as she remembered what she was taught.
FLASHBACK:
A boy with raven black hair and red eyes with a red design over the left one, Shinn Asuka, stood at the front of Fairy Tail's stage And was finishing his final stages of a lecture on how to survive MS combat. "Alright, is there any questions before we head out to practice?" He inquired to the audience, obviously eager to move onto the "fun" stages of his teachings; hands on practice.
"Hey, I got a question." Shinn looked and inwardly groaned as he prepared to respond to Laxus, the overly-arrogant lightning dragonslayer.
"What?"
"Why do we have to use these mech suits? I mean, it's not like most of us can't beat that type of stuff. We beat Phantom Lord, right?"
Shinn decided to be firm with Laxus. "We are going to use these, because not everyone is as 'strong' as you." he said as he nodded to Cagalli Yula Attha, who came as a refuge from a world that she and Shinn used to live, where Mech suits were not only the norm, but a force to be reckoned with.
"And furthermore," Cagalli added, "The Phantom MK II, which apparently nearly ran this guild into the ground, is a piece of utter TRASH compared to the mobile suits that are shoved out of factories like cheap toys back where I'm from.
Laxus paled, as he hadn't fought in that battle, but had heard of how it was only by the Destiny Gundam's intervention that they managed to survive.
"...I understand."
Shinn smirked: "Good. Remember, guys, It is in those 'hopeless' moments where you can really shine in combat. Any more questions? No? Alright then. Let's head to the garage and practice."
FLASHBACK END:
Lucy's eyes narrowed in determination as she managed to flip over the Strike and use her Gundam's beam whips to restrain and destroy her opponent's limbs, tearing it apart. She smirked as the words: TEST COMPLETED flashed up on the screen.
"Heh... No need for the Berserker mode, or whatever it's called." Lucy whispered as she stepped out of the simulator she had been occupying. There were many like it in the hangar beside Fairy Tail, but her, The fire dragonslayer Natsu, Ice make mage Gray, Re-equip mage Erza, and Shinn were the only ones in there at the moment. e oShinn looked at her and grinned: "Congrats. You passed." Lucy ran up to Shinn and pecked his cheek, earning a rather large blush from the black haired mage.
Gray laughed: "Oh come on. You should be used to that treatment from Lucy and Erza by now. They do that every second day." Happy snickered at this, but then was sent flying into the Burning Gundam 's toe by Erza . Natsu yelled and jumped around while holding one of his feet.
Erza: "I kicked Happy, not you."
Gray: "Natsu's mech's cockpit is different. It moves when he does. That comes with the side effect of when it receives damage, Natsu would feel the pain it would cause if it were caused on an actual person." Erza frowned at that. If Cagalli was right about the skill and power of their potential enemies, Natsu would be in for one of his toughest fights.
The team recovered Happy and went back into the guild. all the while, Lucy saw two small bumps protruding from Shinn's back. 'What the heck? He never had those before... I'll ask him whe we get home from the guild. I don't wanna embarrass him.'
She sighed, and looked at the job request boards. Nothing really grabbed for her attention, and she rolled her eyes when she heard a retching sound. 'Natsu got sick from eating Etherion. It's a miracle that he passed Shinn's tests, But that's Natsu for ya. Never stops until he wins.'
Shinn looked at Gajeel, who was leaving the guild with a slip of paper in his hand. "Hey, Gajeel! Where ya headed?" Gajeel replied, "Just going on a job. Need to try something else to get people to welcome me in further."
Shinn snickered: "Need to atone for that little musical number you attempted while that weird reporter fangirled over us?"
Gajeel: "Yeah." Gray and Macao walked up to the two mages, with mischievous smirks on their faces.
Shinn noticed, and asked, "What's with you two?" Gray just grinned: "Didn't you get a nosebleed when both Lucy AND Erza were in Bunny suits?" Macao added to this: "Yeah, and didn't ya try to HIDE it?"
Shinn's face went red as Gajeel laughed and went on his way.
Shinn: "S-so what i-if I did?" Gray just grinned more. "Ya know, I also heard that you finally found out what 'That' punishment is. How'd ya like it?" Shinn's face grew redder and redder by the second.
"Shut up..."
"Why should I?"
"Just do it."
"Admit it and I will."
Shinn didn't say a word, he simply gave him a sour look, and walked off. Gray was confused, so he decided to ask Mirajane about his attitude. He walked up to the bar and sat down in front of the white haired takeover mage.
"Hey, Gray! You seem confused. What's wrong?" Gray responded to her inquiry with, "I teased Shinn about what happened a week ago, and he just got mad at me. You have any idea why he would do that?"
Mirajane nodded. "Yes, although I had to pry and threaten him to get the facts. You see, when he was a kid growing up, he was bullied a lot because of his genetical differences, as most 'coordinators' in his former world are. Basically, you have to be careful on what you tease him on."
Gray asked: "Wait, you said you had to threaten Shinn to get him to talk? What did you threaten him with?" Mirajane gave a devilish grin: "I shouldn't be saying this, but I said that if he wouldn't tell me, then he'd get 'that' and also get a taste of MY punishments. It was so cute how he reacted..." The Demon Takeover mage giggled.
Unbeknownst to the two mages, Shinn was still within earshot of their conversation as he was passing Erza a slice of cake. He stood up, and with a hurt expression on his face clenched fists, he walked out of the guild and headed home for the day.
Erza knew just from the look on Shinn's face that something was up. She signalled to Lucy, who came over. "Something's wrong with Shinn right now. I saw him looking at Mirajane and Gray for a little bit and then just walk out. They must've said something."
Lucy replied: "Well then, don't you think he's overreacting to this a little bit? I mean, come on! They're not meaning any harm."
Erza got up and walked to the door. "He's probably gone back to your place. Let's talk to him before he begins hurting himself..."
"I don't think he's that upset."
"When you love someone, you end up worrying about that person when you don't have proof of everything being alright. We're going."
"I wasn't protesting... But yeah. I see how that makes sense."
When the two leading ladies of Fairy Tail had made it to Lucy's home, they immediately noticed that the door to the main bedroom was closed. Lucy sighed and knocked on the door. "Hey, Shinn? It's just me and Erza. Is everything ok?"
They waited a few minutes. No response. Erza asked, and still, there was no answer. Sighing, they checked the door to see if it was locked. strangely, It was not.
Opening the door, they found Shinn simply laying there, underneath the covers, half asleep. He looked at her and Lucy, and sighed.
"What?"
Erza: "We're just worried about you. You just up and left after hearing god knows what from Mira and Gray's conversation, and you seemed... Upset."
A long pause came up before the answer came, but it did. He explained how he was embarrassed at how he saw the two girls in bunny suits and had a nosebleed, and how Mirajane found out why he hated being teased if it's on the wrong subject.
Lucy simply smiled at Shinn, and hugged him "I'm sure they didn't mean any harm. Maybe you should take a walk. you know, clear your mind."
Shinn gave a soft smile back, kissed Lucy and Erza, and handed them a slip of paper. "Miss Fairy tail contest. Natsu says that you got a good chance of winning."
Lucy smiled, and then remembered the bumps on Shinn's back. "Uh, Shinn, before you go, I think you should know that there are two bumps on your back. do you know what they are?"
Shinn frowned and went into the bathroom to look. 5 seconds passed before the girls heard him yelling in a comedic fashion. "YAAAH! WHAT THE HELL!? THERE ARE TWO BIG BUMPS ON MY BACK WHAT THE F*** ARE THEY!?"
Erza was quick to answer: "They might be wings." "How do you figure?" asked Lucy. Erza replied, "I read about it while researching the Tower of Heaven. Something about how beings with wings grow them. Humanoids grow them at a certain age, apparently."
Lucy: "So you're an angel?" Shinn replied: "Hell if I know, but if what you said was true, then I've got a new pair of wings to fly with. Geez... I wish I was normal..." He then felt himself get hugged by Erza. "You're with Fairy Tail. If you were, you wouldn't be nearly as interesting as you are now." "Plus, you're freakin' AWESOME the way you are now! My heart would break if you changed that way." Shinn laughed a little. "Well, I can't ldn't have that happen to either of you, now can I?"
Meanwhile, a large, muscular man with spiky blond hair, a lightning scar over his eye, and a long coat walked down the street towards Fairy Tail. He held a copy of the latest Sorcerer's Weekly Magazine, and was reading an article on it. Soon, he growled, crumpled it up, and threw it away. "Dammit... Fairy Tail is becoming weaker by the minute... THIS ISN'T THE GUILD I WANT!" He walked onward, angrrily vowing to reshape Fairy Tail into a guild for the strong.
In another section of the town, Shinn, who was busy 'clearing his mind' as Lucy suggested. As he walked down the many colorful buildings and shops, several strange soldiers stealthily crept up behind him. They kept their distance, but what they didn't realize was that Shinn knew they were there. He was simply leading them to the outskirts so he could dispose of them with nobody noticing. Soon enough, he stopped in the wilderness, and let himself get surrounded.
He looked at them all, and smirked as he saw his former faction symbol, the symbol for ZAFT, emblazoned on these soldier's forms. "Shinn Asuka?" Asked who seemed to be the leader. Shinn replied: "What's it to you?" "We need you to come with us. Chairman Zala wishes to talk to you."
Shinn snarled: "I don't take orders from him anymore." "I insist." Shinn heard the sounds of rifles cocking, and wasted no time. He flipped, and re-equipped into his Demon Hunter gear. As he began to descend, he began shooting and killing the soldiers with dual pistols. The soldiers returned fire, but Shinn simply dodged and pulled out a large aand deflected bullets and sliced into the soldiers, ending their lives. "Weapon Change! AGNI AND RUDRA!"
Two cleaver like swords, one red, and one blue, replaced his broadsword in a flash of light. He combined the two blades, and spun them, gathering energy and dodging gunfire. when he gathered enough, he roared out: "RAGING FIRESTORM!" The instant he roared that, a giant typhoon of fiery energy blasted out around him, and killed the rest of the soldiers, burning them until their screams died down.
Shinn put his weaponry away, and looked around. He saw a small blinking light, and shot it. "Grr...looks like they found me. I gotta warn everyone before it's too late." Shinn sighed, as he made his way back to Fairy Tail. Little did he know what awaited him there, as the Magnolia Harvest Festival was almost underway...
End of chapter 1! Looks like Shinn's already got some screwed up things happening to him. also, Who's "Chairman Zala?" What does he want with Shinn? Find out in the next chapter.
