2. Death gift, Screaming fruit and crazy Nii-san.
#Somewhere between Heaven and Hell#
"Someone just cursed me" Death said in amusement.
"Should I fill it with the rest that hated you for ruining their lives?" His secretary asked.
"No. I don't think the cabinet can take anymore"
The secretary turned to a broken whimpering cabinet that was pleading no more and nodded in understanding.
His servant came in, just then.
"I've been waiting to talk to you" Death exclaimed, a bit too happy for his servant taste so early in the morning.
'It bloody 6 in the morning!' But he didn't dare voice his thoughts. "Yes Master?"
Death got up from his chair "It's about that mortal Jellal"
"Yes what about him?"
Death smiled revealing his no existent teeth and the dark voided in his mouth. "I was thinking about giving him a gift. To make things more interesting for the game"
He resisted the urge to ask 'what game?!' but held his tongue "What sort of gift, master?" Death fished out a scrunched a piece of paper from under his cloak and gave it to his servant who forced his hand to take it, from where it been.
He raised an eyebrow at the crappy drawing and the scribbles, luckily he had been with Death for a very long time to be able to read it. "Yes Master I will get right on it" He then bowed and walked out of the room.
He needed to drown himself in Alcohol, wondering about his career choice.
#In the Land of the living#
Jellal Fernandes woke for the third time since his death and moaned in pain from the back ache he got trying to get up. He realised he was no longer in his mother's arms but next to her. He wondered how he was able to get up when he was a baby that was when he got a good look at his hands and he realised that they were bigger then yesterday and so were his feet.
He had the body of a five year old!
At least he didn't have to wait to start training his body, it seems Elf grow much faster than humans. At least one good thing came from being reborn as an Elf.
He decided to see what his new body was made of and spent a good portion of the morning getting used to his new body.
That was until he collapsed from exhaustion.
TO his dismay his new body was much weaker than his old one and had almost non-existent stamina.
To engrossed his thoughts to notice that, his mother had woken up and had taken to watch her son strange behaviour. She pulled out a blanket when he collapsed, knowing her son was going to be a strong fighter when he was older and he will bring glory and honour to the Mikasuki Tribe.
He might even become the strongest warrior the Tribe had ever produced and be the one to take them out of hiding.
#Scene Change#
The Next time Ryo (Decided to call Jellal that from now on) woke up; he looked around and was shocked to see hundreds of other Elves just like his mother walking around the place. He finally got a good luck of the world beyond the tent, he saw he was in a forest of some kind but he didn't recognise which part and he know all of them. Some Elves had seen him and congratulated her on having another child. He noticed that he was being carried on his mother back. He cursed under his breath for the burning desire to have a mother which was over powering his adult mind.
Dammit Jellal, Your 26 for fucking sake. Act your age! He told himself but it was no use and he snuggled closer to his mother.
"I see your wake. Are you okay to walk by yourself?" His mother voice startled him and he pushed down his urge to blush, she looked amused.
Ryo got down from his mother's back and onto the forest the forest floor. His feet instantly got covered in mud and he ignored the desire to find the nearest lake and wash it off. Instead he played the curious five year old "Kaa-san where are we going?" He asked with big eyes and he forged childish interest and her eyes shone in delight at being called mother.
" Musuko (My son). Today, we are going to meet your older brother and father" Her voice very gentle and smooth. He gave no indication that he know what a 'brother' or 'father' was and she just gave him a smile.
He struggled to follow her because of his shorter legs and she slowed down her pace for her son to keep up. They came to a cafe made out of logs and Elves were going in and out of the place. They entered the place and he surprised that it didn't look much different than a human Bar. They went to the back and found an open cafe with white round tables.
She directed them to a two Elves, he guessed they were his brother and father. He sat on his mother's lap as he inspected the two. His father had long silver hair like his mother and green eyes. He cursed inwardly for being destined to be good looking and experience the horror of fan girls. What really stood out was the scars he had, his face had 2 scars were his jaw was and his eyes were that of a harden warrior who had lived through many wars. What really drew his attention was the golden crown on his head.
'NANI?!' He's eyes widened in shock, he desperately prayed that he was not royalty and his father was just wearing it because he liked it!
His older brother didn't look much older than him, about 7 or 8. He had short silver hair and blue eyes; he was a manlier version of mother. He stared at him curiously.
"Honey meet Ryoma Luke Emma the fifth of the 6th Imperil crown. Your son and your youngest brother" She said proudly.
'OH HELL NO!' Ryo screamed but on the outside he had a mask of confusion, expertly hiding the stream of words that he was too young to know.
His father eyes scanned over him and held his gaze and Ryo not wanting to back down met the challenge head on before he broke out into a smile "My son will be strong one" he said with pride and his mother agreed.
"Rei, take your brother with you to the market place so that he has a chances to meet the rest of the tribe" His mother said sweetly and he found himself being dragged from her lap. They left the adults to their discussion.
#Scene Change#
When they got a good distance away from the café, Rei turned to his brother with hard eyes. Ryo thought he had done something to anger the boy.
The boy suddenly started shaking and clenched his fist.
'Is he in pain?' He wondered before the boy lunged at him.
"YOU'RE SO CUTE!" he then began to squeeze the poor Man-child. Ryo started to turn blue before by god's grace he was released.
"It's a crime to be this adorable!" pinching his cheeks much to his hatred and started making 'goo, goo' noises. "Who a cute one, you are! Yes you are!"
Ryo felt his eyebrow twitch, I am not cute! I am a 26 year old man trapped in a five year old body! I fought more Mages then you will ever see in your life time! He frowned which came as a pout.
Curse this tiny body!
His brother on the other hand squealed like many of his fan girls. He found himself being kissed all over and hugged.
His brother then froze and he wondered if something was wrong with him. A few awkward seconds went by and his face became redder and redder from embarrassment. He covered his face with his arm.
"Why, did I say that?!" He asked, shyly meeting his brother eyes and couldn't take it anymore.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME!" He bottled from the spot in tears.
Ryo sweat dropped. Nii-san is weird.
#5 Minutes Later#
His brother finally had enough courage to come back and acted like the last 10 minutes never happened.
Ryo sweat dropped.
"Ahm, sorry about earlier. My name is Rei Phineas Luke the second of the 6th imperil throne but you can call me Rei or Nii-san." He said with obvious pride in his voice.
Silence descended on them and his face started to become red with embarrassment.
Ryo approached him and held out his hand "Nice to meet you, Nii-san"
Tears started to flow down Rei face. 'He called me Nii-san. I can die happy!' He thought in joy then rushed towards a cliff ready to jump.
'Were the hell did that cliff come from?!WE'RE ON SOLID GROUND?!'
"DON'T JUMP!"
#5 Minutes Later#
They finally made their way into town after Ryo had stop his brother from committing suicide much to his brother's embarrassment.
He looked around curiously and many recognised the Prince and bowed to him and said hello. It seemed his brother was very likeable. He noticed that many of the merchandise offered were unique such as Dragon fangs and he wondered where they got them from.
"Prince, I see that your shopping with your new little brother" An old man called out, Rei smiled recognising the man as the one who always gave him free fruit.
"Have these, they are on me" He gave Rei two fruits that were yellow and had green spots. Ryo eyed them wearily; from past experience anything yellow with green spot was most likely going to kill you.
Rei sensed his brother reluctance to eat the fruit handed to him. "These are not poisonous but they are poisonous to humans. To us Elves they are part of our daily diet so it completely safe."
Ryo wasn't listen because he was busy staring at the eyeball that had appeared on his fruit and it blinked and was looking at him. Rei looked at his "Most Elves eat theirs before the fruit has time to wake up" he then dug his teeth into the fruit whose eye went wide and with a sickening crunch it let out high pitched screams until his brother got half way were it stopped and it eye ball dulled. Throughout the whole thing not one person turned around and acted like it was normal.
Ryo turned green ready to lose his lunch.
His brother smiled "You need to eat, if you're going to grow up big and strong" Ryo looked at his fruit who was eyeing him with a look that said 'please do not eat me'. He looked back at his brother who was cheering him on before he looked back at his fruit which started to whimper.
'Screw this! If this makes me stronger I'll have to do this!' He thought with determination and when the Fruit saw it, it started screaming like its fallen comrade. He took a bite out of it and was surprised that it tasted sweet and juicy.
'If this was an apple, it would be the best apple I have ever tasted!' He thought with eagerness, taking larger bites, ignoring the ear piercing screams coming from the fruit and finished it.
Hp+50
Skill learned: Sonic Scream.
Fame -10
Compassion -100
Startled he looked around, 'what was that?' He wondered before he took another one and the same thing happened again.
'It wasn't just my imagination' He thought, could he have some ability and how could he use it to his advantage?
He was snapped out of his thoughts when his brother shook him and he crashed back to reality.
"You spaced out for a little while there. Was the fruit really that good?" Rei said jokingly but Ryo could see the concern in his eyes. Not wanting to worry his brother.
"No. I fine, I'm just having a hard time absorbing all of this" He replied and his brother nodded.
He was then taken around the market being introduced to people and friends of his brother before they went home.
Which was an amazing castle in the middle of the forest.
Ryo stared at it with wide eyes, it's fucking huge! How nobody could see it was a mystery. Apparently the Mikasuki was the leading tribe of all elves and 40% of income went to them. He wondered how this was possible when they were hiding away from the magic council. He thought Natsu would be excited to be in castle like this.
He shook his head.
Don't let Fairy Tail ruining this. He told himself over and over again as he was let into the castle. The guards gave him warm smiles as they past.
He stared in awe at the magical crystal lighting up the whole castle and giving it a magical feel. He was lead through a glass corridor were they stopped in front of blue highly decorated door with his name in posh writing.
His brother turned to him "This is your room from now on, food will be provided for you whenever you're hungry so don't hesitate to ask" He said with a fake white moustache and butlers uniform, complete with a white towel.
'What are you?, my butler?' He thought with a sweat drop. His brother disappeared down the hall and he pushed the door open to his room.
The first thing he saw was a big blue stuffed cat, he blinked then he looked around the room. His room was full of stuffed cat toys that had white wings. He came the conclusion that the Mikasuki tribe were obsessed with exceeds.
My room is Exceed fucking shrine!
He stared at the big Stuff Exceed toy on top of his bed with passive eyes before he shrugged and got into the bed, holding the toy in his arms. He had a exceed mirror on the desk cabinet and he finally got a good look at himself.
He was toddler version of Jellal Fernandes with silver and green eyes. His tattoo still there except for it was completely black. He also had ridiculously long angular eyes. If you just ignored the ears, he could easily pass as a younger brother if there was two of him!
Dammit! He had hoped to have a different appearance but it seemed that Death wanted to bit him in the ass.
He just hoped there wasn't another one of him running around...
#5 Days Later#
"I'm boooooorrrrreeeeddd" He refused to think he was whining t o his older brother.
His brother looked up from his 'Sorcerer Magazine'. Ryo eyes widened seeing a 14 year old Erza on the front cover.
'I'm in the past?! I'M IN THE FUCKING PAST!?' He wanted to scream to shout to hit something, anything.
"If you're bored go hunting" His brother said simply.
'You let 5 year olds go HUNTING?!' He thought in horror and wished that his brother was joking but it didn't seem like it.
"Who should I take then? I don't know anybody." He said, thinking he could get away with it.
His brother looked thoughtful. "Take Logan Elegen with you"
'Logan who?!'
"Me"
Just then a kid appeared right beside him and he almost jumped out of his skin. The kid looked like he was around his age; he had red fiery hair cut short and wore a Dark blue top and dark green pants. He reminded him of a younger version of himself.
"Logan here would be great to take along. He is 6 years old and has been on over 100 hunts so he's very experienced with them. His magic is 'Copy Cat'. This allows him to change shape to anything he's seen before and use any magic as long as he's seen it once. I have a feeling you and him will get along just fine" Rei finished and Ryo stared at the smug looking boy beside him with wide eyes.
"Can you teach me how to do 'Copycat' magic?" He asked and you could clearly hear the awe in his voice.
Logan grinned and put an arm around Ryo "Of course, my friend. I'll be happy to help and we can exchange magic's together" Ryo grinned at his new found friend.
"Logan my friend, this will be the start of our beautiful friendship"
#Scene Change#
They came to a dark part of the forest were the screams were coming from. He paled even more with each scream. He told himself that the screams were his imagination but why was he trying to fool?!
"You're not scared are?" Logan asked beside him with a evil smirk.
"O-of course not" He cursed at how shaky his voice sounded to his ears.
Logan smile got wider "I see, then after you" and Ryo started walking in faking his bravery as best as he could. Logan followed closely behind him.
It got really dark before he found himself in a bright meadow and he looked around confused.
Logan rolled around laughing at his flabbergasted face. "Gets, newcomers every time!" Ryo shot him a glare which he ignored.
He cleared his throat "Since this is your first hunt, well start with what beginner hunt. A horned rabbit"
'A horned Rabbit?! Does such thing even exi-' He thought was cut off what a 10 foot rabbit with horns came into the clearing. He gaped at the size of it. He was suddenly very aware that he was he was a foot and a few inches tall and had to fight a monster that was 10 times his height.
Logan tapped him on the back and gave thumbs up before he disappeared.
The rabbit turned to him and let out a mighty screech.
'Well, shit!'
He would later on deny this but he turned heel and ran with a Rabbit bouncing after him, once in a while it would let out a screech and he would quicken his pace.
He was scared as hell!
"Don't try to run, fight" Was Logan unhelpful advice before he turned around the corner while the rabbit smashed through.
'Why are you running?'
He heard a voice in his head. 'If you didn't notice I have angry 10 ft horned Rabbit chasing after me' He snapped back.
'Since when did Jellal Fernandes run?'
He froze in his tracks. What was he doing? When did he turn into such a cowered? He felt shame for his actions and stopped running.
He turned around just in time to see the rabbit stop in front of him. His eyes burned with determination and the Rabbit leapt back in surprise.
He glared down at the Rabbit.
"I will not run because fear of you any longer. I will face you head on" He told it and the rabbit sneered.
'Use the Sonic Screech.'
A voice told him and he began to draw energy from the surrounding area, he began to glow white.
Logan watched this with wide eyes even the Rabbit took a step back.
He focused all the energy to his mouth.
"I will not let you to control my life" The wind picked up.
"No more running"
He opened his mouth a light formed, the rabbit turned to run but it was too late.
His eyes flashed red.
"SONIC SCREECH!"
A ear piercing scream shut out of his mouth, the exact same sound as the screaming fruit but a thousand times worse. Multiple rings blasted from his mouth and shot towards the fleeting rabbit, it tried to get away but it was too late. An exposition erupted when the rings made impacted with its target.
When it cleared he stared in shock, there was HUGE hole in the rabbits chest and the rabbits body flopped down dead on the forest floor. What was even more shocking was the damage behind the rabbit, he could count at least 50 trees had been snapped in half or burned.
Logan came down from the tree he was hiding in and looked the damage with wide eyes.
"Dude, you've got to teach me how to do that" He said in awe.
Ability: Sonic Screech level up!
Courage+10
Defeated: Horn Rabbit.
Reward: Horn and Exceed Egg.
He looked up when he heard something falling, he was just in time to see a Golden Exceed egg with black markings fallout from the sky making contacted with his head.
Then everything went black.
Done!
