Hey the second chapter. This time it more focus on Natsu's new team.
Sciopera
"The Phantom Rose? The one that attack other guild?"Wendy questions. This is not good."What is Black Alliance?"Frosch ask out of blue. Rogue smile as he pat his head.
"Not many knows about them. Black Alliance are 4 of current stronger dark guild. Previously, there was Balam Alliance until all of them had been eliminated. Currently the strongest dark guild is Phantom rose while other three are, Incubo, Daywalker and one that still unknown"Levy explain in short way."Up until now, only Phantom Rose make a move. They currently recruit their soldier by attacking other guild and manipulate them thinking they fighting for their own guild"Lily , Rogue, Frosch, Lecter and Kagura shocked and sweating to heard that. Are those guy are for real? That really gone too far.
"Are they mad?!"Sting can't believe it.
"Thinking they action make me sick"Kagura look really disgust.
"I cant imagine how they will feel after finding out what they have done"Rogue sympathy toward those people.
"They are currently the most dangerous one. Defeating them can help deceasing dark activities"Erza give her point."It unsure their current location is but their some clue that might help help us lead to them"Jura holds a file that contain some clues about the Phantom Rose's where about."I can track their location with this file but where do they get the clue from?"Levy questioning. As far she remember, Gajeel was the one who can find this kind of clues.
"It must be from Nero guy. I can tell because of the smell on that file. Most of my men often asking help from him. I never give a thought about him until.."Gajeel piss as he look away while Levy look surprised to heard it. Now that she think about it, this is her chance to figure out what this guy really the rumor said or not. She open the file and saw a letter. It said 'to that poor captain'."There a letter for you Gajeel"Levy hand her file to Lucy to hold it for a while. She then open the letter and reading out loud.
Dear captain,
If you reading this which mean you still alive in the most painful way. How is the drink anyway captain? Did you get a good rest? Maybe not. Oh well, It not make any different since you still alive and healthy. ;-)
By the time you reading this, I will having a nice drink and collecting more info. After all, I am best at my own job. In any case, here the file for your soon-to-be-kill file. All the info about the guild, their location and members are in here. I have to admit. You guys sure are worthless on this kind of job. By the way, you should thank your flame friend and his blue kitty for this one. They the one paying the price for this info. I have to said it is really 'expensive'. So make use of it wisely or else you just wasting his effort to help you.
Well that is all,
bye and hope we see again poor captain..
your drinking buddy, Nero ;-)
"Drinking buddy?"Levy and rest give blank stare at Gajeel."We never were drinking buddy. And beside that guy fool me! How many times much I tell you this?!"Gajeel sigh angrily. This star to get very annoying. He feel like he keep on repeat the same things over and over again.
"That flame-head. Even now, he still doing alone"Gray sigh. This is not the first time Natsu doing their favor. Gray feel useless and annoy everything they got help from Natsu. Why must he used other person just to deliver something from their guild? His guild. If he want to help, why not just return back to guild? That answer only Natsu can answer.
"I taken that this is not the first time Natsu doing this?"Rogue notice the Fairy Tail's reaction. They more relax and calm rather then surprised.
"Ya. The first time he did it was 3 years ago"Wendy answer in soft tone. Rogue feel a bit regret asking. It must be really hurt for her. Rogue knows, Natsu is like a brother to her. Her friend, her family, her brother.
"This will be our chance to find out what Natsu-san is up to? There must be a reason for his disappearance, right?"Sting break the mood with a smirk on his face. Everyone then smile and has to agree with Sting.
"I guess it's good to have someone like Sting in this mission"Erza grin.
"I guess having Sting-san is not a bad idea"Wendy tease as well.
"If he don't get into trouble then we good"Carla join as well.
"Not that is mean"Sting pretend to put like a little girl which make everyone laugh. A good laugh can ease this tension afterall.
"Do you choose live in the cruelest fate or died as a monster? You answer will effect your surrounding. That is your curse, old friend"
Natsu slowly wake up in the middle in the night. He look his surrounding and notice Happy sleep next to him. He remember now, he and Happy currently resting at the inn in Oshibana Town. He remember this is the town where he and his team beating up Eisenwald, a dark guild. He remember he willing to fly using Happy. That was long time ago.
Natsu slowly get up from the bed and tries not waking Happy up. He then walk to the window and look at the crescent moon. Natsu slowly recall all the memories he had. His time with Fairy Tail, all his mission with his team. He then slowly recall the drastic move to left his guild. Natsu remember the word that stuck in his head.
Live in the cruelest fate or died as a monster.
Natsu giggle. He then notice a strange group enter the inn since his room is on second floor and facing the street of the Oshibana Town. Natsu can tell who they are and what going to happen. Natsu grin before looking back at the full moon. Just then, Happy waking up and rubbing his eye.
"Nee, Natsu. Is there something wrong?"Happy ask as he curious what his partner thinking.
"Happy, iniziare il giaco (begin the play)" Natsu look Happy with a grin his face. Happy nodded and he immediately left the room. Natsu continue to grin as he look outside the window.
Few seconds later, an explosion was heard and everything become chaotic. Everyone in the inn was all cover with the fear. The attackers then trouble a tin of sleeping gasses which making everyone fall a sleep and silent the room. There are some mages tries resist to fight the attackers but fail. In mist of chaos, a man wearing a long black coat with exposing chest. Wearing a black pant and black shoes. He also wearing a gas mask with a black hair. The man look at his surrounding. He raise his hand which giving the order that his army to charge in. His soldier wears an black armors on their arms and legs with black band and black tight shirt. They also wearing an armor head to cover their face.
Suddenly, a sound of window breaking was heard along the sound of something just land on the ground. The man silent.
"That was annoying"a feminine voice echoing the hall. Then one of his soldier just fall from the ceiling and land few meter away from him. After that, a lady land on top of the fallen soldier. The lady has a long dark blue hair, ocean blue eyes with a smirk, wearing a blue waistcoat with white collar T-shirt along a blue ribbon tie on her neck. She also wearing a blue short part with blue sock and black boot.
"Beautiful"the man comment."Creepy as ever I see"The lady feel disgust with his comment. Just then, Natsu appear, wearing his usual outfit along with his scarf and sunglasses. Natsu yawn. The man silent. The man can feel his monstrous aura despite his look defenseless. few second later, the man army surrounding Natsu and the lady.
"Good luck, beautiful"The man then left as his soldier in position to attack them. Natsu slowly look at the lady with a grin.
"You sure attracting many 'interesting' guy. He seem to interest in you, Lena-chan"Natsu grin. Lena give a deathly glare at Natsu. For her, that is not funny at all. That is creepy as hell." Cencare di non distruggere il gioco (try not destroy the play)"Natsu whisper. He then walk and sit on the reception table as the soldier begin an attack. Lena grin and begin to punch every soldier that get near here.
Some of the soldiers try to attack Natsu but then a bullet hits any soldier who come closer to him."Nice shoot" Natsu praise as he crossing his leg and rub the dust off from his sunglasses. Behind the reception table. A blue-cat-ear-like hair teenage boy holding a sniper gun and shoot behind the reception table. His huge briefcase is wide open revealing many types of gun in it. That's explain why it huge and heavy.
"Still many soldiers"a little girl, Mimi, who sitting next to Natsu while hugging her fluffy rabbit toy. She observe her surrounding. She can see Lena punching, kicking and beating the poor soldier up. Despite she knows that the enemy soldiers are mind slave from other guild. Lena sure don't give a thing or two about who she beating.
"Mimi-chan, it is very dangerous sitting here. Sit with Happy"Natsu check his sunglasses while warning the little girl.
"You one to talk Natsu. Sitting in the middle of chaos? Mind if you do something"The teenager boy who reveal to be Happy, release a frustration sigh. Well Natsu is the boss. He is the one that give the order. Natsu then look at the ceiling as he put on his sunglasses
" Terzo gioco (third play)" Natsu said as there something just fall down from the ceiling and create another hole on the ceiling. This time 4 or 5 soldiers land on the ground along with two mages just land on top of them.
"Now that was relaxing"a woman, has a beautiful curly brown hair with light brown eyes with a smirk. She wearing a long black jacket with white fury scarf and light red strapless dress with the expose her left leg with red heel. She stretch her arm as the soldiers look at her. Happy sweat drop while Mimi clap in excitement.
"That was annoying"next to the woman, a guy. He has messy dark brown hair with light brown eyes with a scarf covering his lower part of his face. He also wearing a white hoodie jacket which hide his face with gray fury lining. wearing a light gray pant with black army boots. He sigh. The woman then pat his back really hard making him move forward two or three steps.
"Aria-san, Rio-kun"Mimi greet her happily by waving at them."How did you find us here?"Lena asking while holding the soldier and punching his face. Aria laugh while Rio only sigh.
"Nero said you guy will be here and I'm just following the plan"Aria answer cheerfully."He is here in this town. We have only 1 minutes before the Rune knight are here" Rio spoke. Natsu smile softly. Lena give an annoying look. It's seem she is not please with the time strict.
"It seems like we have to end the show. Terminare il goco con il botto (end the play with a bang)"Natsu order which make Rio look at him with a shocking face.
"Boss, you didn't mean..." Rio then look at Aria and Lena. Both of them give an evil smile which is not good. Not good at ALL. He then look at Natsu and see Mimi is hiding behind the reception table with Happy who busy rearranges his guns in the briefcase. Natsu only give an innocent smile. "Here we go again"
While then, the rune knight lead by Levy run toward the inn after received that the enemy is attacking an inn in Oshibana Town. Luckily she was on patrol around here along with her guild mates which is Team Natsu who happen just finish their mission here. They just thought of rest at the inn before report their jobs at their client when their hurt an explosion. However, there was an enemy attack and they manage to handle it. That enemy is Phantom Rose's soldier.
"I thought they going to attack the guild but why they attack the inn?"Levy sweating and her tone sound she is panic while running to the inn with her soldier and her guild mates. She did some calculating and search which found that their next attack is on Oshibana Town. However, she didn't expect that they would attack the inn. Everyone in the town was panicking with the Phantom Rose appearance. Luckily the guild which protect the town are all come and help the townfolks from the enemy. They more lucky when Erza and her team are here to help as well.
"Let's hope everyone in the inn is alright"Lucy running next to Levy praying that nothing back has happen. Levy nodded on agreeing Lucy's word. As they about to reach the inn, a bright light cover the entire inn and later produce a heavy smoke coming out from the window. Everyone gasp. Are they too late? Wendy without hesitate, charge in and used her sky dragon magic to make the smoke disappear.
As the smoke disappear, Wendy discover that every soldier already been defeated and look like someone put a huge punch on them by looking at the bruises. Levy and the other enter and surprised like Wendy. By the look, it's look like a massacre. They feel sympathies to this soldier to who ever they fought is.
"Did someone do this?"Erza look at the surrounding and she can tell that there is no sign of magic. How did they fought with out using magic?
"We better help everyone out. They must be in shock and fainted here"Gray check on one of the victim who seem to pass out. Lucy and Levy along other Rune knights help the victim by carrying them out off the building. Wendy check the reception table which Lily who carrying some beat soldiers with his huge cat form and Carla who help the victim in her human form, look at Wendy with strange look.
"Something wrong Wendy?"Lily ask as Wendy check and sniff the reception table.
"I can see a bit of sleeping gas"Wendy told her founding."That's explain why the victim were sleep so soundly"Lucy giggle as she look at the victim. No wonder she found it funny why the victim can fall a sleep in here.
"Maybe someone put it so that they wouldn't have to see a fight or been traumatized"Charla said. Her words does has a point. At very least this people would not be traumatized. Wendy continue to smell until she pick up something. She knew this smell. It can't be right. Wendy without saying, leaving the scene making everyone shock. Carla quickly follow Wendy.
Wendy continue to follow the smell. She continue follow the smell. She has to be quick or the smell will fading. She has too. She been looking for 'that' person for very long time.
I'm keep quiet
you won't even know I here
Wendy stop as she hear a voice.
you won't suspect a thing
you won't see in the mirror
The melodic voice become louder
But I crept into your heart
you can't make me disappear
Till I make you..
Wendy shiver making her forgot about the smell. She can feel the creepiness in the song.
I make my self a home
in the cobwebs and the lies
I learning all your tricks
I can hurt you from inside
I make my self a promise
you will never see me cry
Till I make you..
"What are you doing standing here?"Wendy look at the direction of the voice and see a lady. The lady has a long dark blue hair, ocean blue eyes with pale skin, wearing a blue waistcoat with white collar T-shirt along a blue ribbon tie on her neck. She also wearing a blue short part with blue sock and black boot. The lady tilt her head. Wendy look at her with confuse.
"So-sorry, I was looking for someone and.."Wendy can't said she hear someone singing which make her froze. That will be funny.
"I see. You should go home. The rune knight ask everyone to remain at home since there an explosion at the inn. I also just about to go home as well"The lady smile as she pat Wendy's shoulder. Wendy smile back. Without suspect a thing.
"O-Okay"Wendy nodded."By the way, what is your name?"The lady ask. Wendy blink before answer with a smile."My name is Wendy. I'm from Fairy Tail. Sorry for making you worry"Wendy bow."I see"Wendy blink before straight up. Did she just hear something off?
"Well, My name Selena. Nice to meet you, Wen-chan"Lena pat her shoulder with a very cheerful way. Wendy only nod. This is the first time someone call her 'Wen-chan'. Maybe is part of her personality.
"Gonna go. Let's meet again some day"Lena smile and waves before she left Wendy. Wendy look at Lena before she disappear in the dark. She slowly look down and notice their something on the ground. She pick up and reveal to be a picture. Wendy surprised to see the people in the picture. She can see Selena, look younger than she is now. Behind her was someone she knows. This picture , was taken 5 years ago.
"Wendy!"Carla run towards Wendy. Wendy immediately hide the picture as Carla panting after running and looking for Wendy. Wendy only apologize for causing problem which she received a huge talk from Carla. Carla sighed.
"Let's go back. Everyone was worry when you suddenly run"Carla grab Wendy hand and drag her to go back to the in. Wendy on nod. Wendy also recall the picture and the people that was still on her. She is wondering why 'they' in that picture? She want to ask Carla but too afraid to freak her out. After she go through.
"Hey, we will find Happy and Natsu,right"Wendy saying out of the blue causing Carla to stop. Did she said wrong?
"Sorry about that. It just it..." "We will find them"Carla answer with cold tone. They then walk again."We will find them and I am going to show him hope strong I am. Just who do he think I am. Disappear without tell us and then help us in trouble yet never reveal them self. I sure you must found their trail right. Which mean we can still has a chance for finding them. We will find them"Carla said without looking at Wendy but Wendy can tell her hearts is crying. That is why, she can't tell about the picture.. yet
"We will. After all, Natsu is my family"Wendy said with a tear and smile in her face. She too believe, she can find them. They continue walking until arrive at the inn. At the same time, Happy who still in his human form, observing every move Wendy and Carla take. He also observe other people as well but his eye is fix on Carla. The girl he love the most. His tear suddenly flowing on his cheek as he look at the crescent moon. He grin.
Live in the cruelest fate or die as a monster...
"I am the Notte Cercatore's sniper. I am Happy"
