2nd chap and time skip~ I do not own Fairy Tail! Enjoy :)
7 years later...
"Liam, you knucklehead!"
"Ice boxers!"
"Pepper Breath!"
As usual, Liam, James, and Jake were in the middle of their famous fights.
Liam wore a flaming red shirt with a short black cloak thrown over top. He had on black shorts with red lining. He wore Igneel's scarf around his neck from his father and his red Fairy Tail mark was on his right shoulder. He wore saddles at his feet and his hair was spikier than ever. His brown eyes flared with excitement.
James wore a white shirt with a dark blue vest. He had long, black pants and blue boots. A cross chain necklace hang around his neck, given to him by his father and his dark blue Fairy Tail mark was on his right pectoral muscle. His blue eyes glared at Liam and his dark blue hair was less as spiky as Liam's.
Jake wore a black long sleeve shirt with a short sleeve blue collar shirt on top. He had on white shorts with black lining and his black Fairy Tail mark rest on his left shoulder. He had on black sneakers and his spiky black hair. His red eyes narrowed at Liam and James.
It was a nice day at the Fairy Tail guild. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the wind was peacefully moving along, and the guild was crumpling. Yep, it sure was peaceful!
"Geez, boys. Always fighting, huh?" Miriam snapped angrily while she tried to read her novel, the novel her mother had written. She wore a short sleeve pink shirt with a black and silver tank top over. She had dark blue jean shorts with a loose silver belt and hanging from it was Fleuve d'etoiles, a special whip that was given from her mother. Her pink Fairy Tail mark was on the back of her right hand and she wore white flats on her feet. Her brown eyes flared with annoyance and she had a side ponytail like her mother.
"It's really annoying after a while, ya know?" Abigail sighed. She wore a black tank top with orange lining and a white jacket over it, hanging open. She had on a orange and black skirt with stripe orange and black long leggings to match. A pair of orange headphones hang carelessly around her neck. Her white Fairy Tail mark rest on her left shoulder blade and she had red shoes. Her wavy blue hair went to just about below her shoulders and her brown eyes share the same annoyance as Miriam.
Miriam agreed. She wished there was a day where the boys weren't fighting for once, but that was probably wishful thinking on her part. When will they ever learn that violence didn't solve anything? Geez.
"Isn't how it should be?" Miki, Happy's and Carla's son said cheerfully. Happy and Carla had left in search of the other exceeds and they had left their son with the Dragneel family. Truth to be told, Miki acted and looked more like Happy than Carla. But he does have more sense than his father.
"Shut up, cat."
"But this is how they will learn to be good friends!" Destiny nodded promptly. She wore a long sleeve blue collar shirt with a white short sleeve jacket on top that only went to her stomach. She had a dark blue skirt and white boots. Her flowing red hair went to the mid of her back and brown eyes shone with confidence. Her blue Fairy Tail mark was on the middle of her left upper arm.
Violet sneered at her. "'Good friends', she says. You sound like a crazy, idiot old woman who doesn't know where to see things as they really are!" She wore a black and purple tank top and black shorts with silver lining. There were long strips of black cloth on her arms. She had black boots and her white Fairy Tail mark was on her left thigh. Her white hair had a few braids and it was all tied up in a large side ponytail which was held by a purple ribbon. Her green eyes were fierce.
"What was that, wrench?"
"You looking for a fight?"
"We're just going to stay out of this." Miriam and Abigail stammered quickly and walked away. They definitely did not want to get involve in the older girls' fight. A cat fight was nasty.
"Aye." Miki followed them.
"Hey, where's Bryce?" Gavin asked, looking around for the older teen. He was no different from his older brother with spiky dark blue hair and blue eyes. He wore a white shirt with blue lining and he had on dark blue pants with black shoes. His Fairy Tail mark was the same as his brother and he wore a chain bracelet that was given to him by his father.
Destiny stopped. Where was her brother? He had said he was going off to do something for a few days, but he hasn't come back in two weeks now.
"Eek!"
A scream was heard loud and clear from the entrance of the guild. Alarmed, the kids and Miki rushed to it.
There, lying on the ground all burnt and scratch up was Bryce. He was out cold and barely moving. Destiny rushed towards her brother in a panic. She pressed her ear to his chest, and let out a sigh of relief when she heard his heartbeat.
"Bryce? Bryce! What happen to you? Answer me!" Destiny's voice rose before she could stop herself, the panic clearing showing. She whirled around and pointed a finger at Liam, James, and Jake. "Go find the Master and get some medicine!" (A/N: The Master is now Laxus. Don't complain)
"Miriam, is he going to be okay?" Miki asked as he tugged on Miriam's shirt.
She gave him a reassuring smile. "Sure he will. Don't worry, Miki."
The boys nodded quickly and took off. Raichi and Gavin helped Destiny pick up Bryce and carried him to the infirmary room.
"What happen to him?" Laxus asked, standing near Bryce's bed.
The gang and Laxus were all in the infirmary room. Claire had healed Bryce to the best of her ability so all they could do now was wait for him to wake up. His wounds had been taken care of with medicine and bandages, but it was evident something had gone wrong for him to be so severely injured.
"I don't know. He said he had to do something and then he left. I didn't think he would come back like this." Destiny trembled as she sat by her brother's side.
"By the looks of him, he was attacked. By someone he couldn't defeat. Someone who was beyond his limit." Laxus said grimly. The shock went through every one of them. Bryce was the strongest wizard in the guild at his generation! He never lost in a fight before.
"B-But, who?!" Liam shouted. He had challenge Bryce many times only to be defeated in a matter of seconds. And Liam was so sure he was the only one who lasted that long against Bryce.
"I don't know." Laxus briefly closed his eyes. "Your parents are gone right now so don't do anything rash."
Liam clenched his fist. "We can't just sit still like this! Someone attacked our family!"
Miriam placed a hand on her brother's arm. "Liam, calm down. W-We need to think things through."
Laxus nodded, leaving them in the room.
"So, what now?" Jake muttered.
Destiny stood up. "We go and find out who did this. No one gets away with doing this to my brother!" Some of them raised their fist in agreement with her.
"Watch it, Red head." Violet said coolly. Destiny shot her a death glare. The others steered clear of the lightning between the two older girls and poor Bryce, he was in the middle of it. "The Master will never let us go. And what about our parents? Laxus will surely contact them if we left without telling him. They left on a trip together, bringing the youngest four of the group with them."
The rest of the gang let the new information sink in slowly. Being complete morons due to what some of their parents used to be and still is, they hadn't really thought the plan all the way through. Miki flew around Bryce's bed.
"But then, our parents never follow the rules so why should we?" Violet followed her statement with a smirk. Destiny gave her a grateful smile.
"Aye! They never follow the rules!" Miki cheerfully exclaimed.
"Okay, then. Who's going? 'Cause we all can't go. Some people have to hold down the court." Raichi stood up. He turned to Claire. "You're staying."
"What?! But-!"
"Claire, I can't have you getting hurt. Mom would freak out, okay?" Raichi said sternly like the older brother he was. It was true though, Wendy would freak out. She nearly fainted one day when the two of them came home with mud, dirt, twigs, leaves, and a bunch of other stuff covering them from head to toe that they looked like a couple of mud and leaf and sludge monsters! Ai had laughed back then and would have gotten herself dirtied too had Wendy not allowed her outside.
Raichi wore a green shirt with a black top over. The sleeves of the green shirt was that one side was long while the other was short. He had dark blue shorts with a white scarf wrap around it and black shoes with dark green lining. His red Fairy Tail mark was on his left shoulder. He had dark blue spiky hair that almost seem purple and his brown eyes stared sternly at Claire.
Claire wore a simple green and blue dress with white little ruffs on her upper arms. She had blue flats and her blue hair flow down her back. Her blue Fairy Tail mark was on her right shoulder and her brown eyes stared stubbornly at her older brother.
"Gavin, you're staying." James told his little brother. Gavin stared at him in anger.
"I am doing WHAT?! No way, man!"
"Dude, you're too young."
"I'm only a year younger! You call that 'too young'?! Just what is old to you then?"
James rubbed his head in frustration as Gavin kept on protesting.
"Zero, you are to stay here with the guild." Violet said with one hand on her hip. Zero nodded, although he wasn't all the way Happy-Go-Lucky with the idea, he knew better than to argue with his sister. Unlike some people.
Zero wore a red and green hoodie with black shorts. A green chain hang around his belt at the side. He had short green hair with a black cap with a leaf design on it that was backwards and green eyes. His green Fairy Tail mark was on the back of his left hand and he had black sneakers.
"Well, let's go then!" Liam shouted cheerfully.
"Yeah, don't just stand there." Jake said.
James, Destiny, Violet, Miki and Raichi stared at them.
"What? You think Miri would like it when if I tell her she can't go? Are you crazy or what?! She's going to rip my head off in a matter of seconds!" Liam cried, fearfully looking towards his sister who gave him a cute, but deadly evil smile in return.
"If I tell Abi that, she'll torture me first and then cut my body into pieces." Jake shuddered at the thought and Abigail flashed him a lovely, but lethal smirk.
"You guys stand no chance." Miki chuckled.
"Shut up!"
"I'm so glad you agree, big brother!" Both Miriam and Abigail had a glowing evil gleam in their eyes. Oh, yeah. Their mothers were definitely Lucy and Levy. The two boys backed up slowly. (A/N: I LOVE making boys get tortured by girls. It's just more fun this way! ^_^)
"Okay, we meet at the harbor at dawn tomorrow." Destiny announced. The others nodded and the gang, or some of it anyway, were out on an adventure! A grand mystery to unfold! A fight to the death! A-!
"Oh, god. I'm going to be sick." Liam groaned.
"Liam, are you okay?" Miki asked, poking Liam's head.
They were now on board the ship Destiny and Violet had highjack from a couple of gangsters. To make the long story short, it only took a single glare for the gangsters to hand it over.
"Quit being a chicken." Jake managed to say. Liam glared at him.
"You're suffering too, metal head!"
"What did you just call me, flame-brain?"
Nobody knew how, but fighting seem to get them out of their motion sickness. Their fathers couldn't do that and it just to show you that a new generation is always filled with surprises, even if they are crazy. Quite strange.
"Shut up! We need to make a plan of attack!" Destiny shouted. The boys stopped and everybody gathered together.
"What's the plan?" James asked. Destiny started at open her mouth but then she closed it again.
"You don't have one, do you?" Miriam gave a sigh.
"Are you serious?! We have no idea where to go yet we still went on this boat for practically nothing?! Do you know how horrible I am right now?!" Both Jake and Liam shouted at Destiny and then they went back to being sick.
"Geez, bro. You say something cool and then you turn green? Lame." Abigail sighed. Miriam nodded in agreement.
"Shut up." Liam and Jake growled.
Violet set her hand on the table. "Didn't Bryce give any hints at all when he said he needed to do something?"
Destiny look thoughtful for a moment. "He did say something about a key and...And..."
"And?"
"A weird creature!" Destiny said brightly. The others sweatdrop.
"How is THAT supposed to help us?!" Violet threw her arms in the air. Destiny shrugged.
"How would I know all of it? I'm not going to stalk my own brother!"
"That would be weird." Raichi muttered.
"Anyway, I found his notebook where he takes notes on things he wanted to investigate." Destiny held up a blue leather book.
"So you were stalking him." James commented.
Destiny grabbed his arm and swung him to the other side of the boat. James almost fell off. "I was NOT!"
"Destiny's a stalker!" Miki exclaimed cheerfully.
"I am NOT!"
"Calm down. Let's see what it says." Abigail took the notebook from Destiny and placed on her Gale Force glasses. Miriam placed her own Gale Force glasses on too and the two girls flipped through the book.
"Pieces. Ancient writing. Monsters." Abigail read.
"Time. Space. Key." Miriam mumbled.
"Okay. What the heck does that mean?" Violet asked in confusion. The others didn't understand either and they were waiting for the two girls to respond.
Miriam and Abigail went in thought for a while and the others were on the edge of the seats. Finally, the two girls look up. "We don't know!"
The gang fell anime-style.
"Well, that went great." Jake mumbled and his sister smacked his head.
"I'm sick here!"
"Then act like it and shut up!"
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard and the kids look up. A few flying cannons were coming down on them.
"Flying evil cannons with red eyes!" Miki yelled and dove behind Liam. "And bones!"
Destiny quickly changed her armor and she sent a flow of swords at the cannons. Jake made his iron into a shield and covered them from the flaming bits.
"There!" Miriam pointed to a dark ship that had smoke coming out of the long rays of cannons in front and on the sides of it. A black flag with a skull and a slash through it was waving at the top.
"That's Dead Skull! A dark guild!" Miki informed them.
"Abigail, write a barrier around the ship!" Violet ordered. The blue-haired girl nodded and quickly ran for the sides.
"James, try to freeze them!" Destiny commanded.
"Ice make. Cannon!" Several balls of ice shot through the sky as James fired them. They landed on Dead Skull's ship. When the smoke clear, the gang could see that it was completely undamaged.
Destiny cursed under her breath. The two ships were quickly coming in contact. She quickly sent an array of swords towards them. No damage taken.
They could see the laughing goons, all holding weapons. Some of them had magic playing around their fingers. The whole crew of Dead Skull were all dress in pirate clothing.
Before anyone could stop them, Liam and Jake jump on board the other ship.
"Hey, wait!" Miriam shouted.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" A burst of flame shot out of Liam's mouth. It happen to fry a lot of the Dead Skull's wizards and all of them dove into the sea to cool off.
"Iron Dragon's Fist!" Too bad they had to get beaten by Jake first before they could go overboard.
The rest of the gang sat back and watch quietly as Liam and Jake kept on trashing the dark guild's wizards. Destiny and Violet went back to making a plan, Miriam and Abigail talked about this new series of books, and Raichi kept telling James to put back on his clothes. Miki sat on a table with a strawberry smoothie and cheered on the Dragon Slayers.
There was no reason to fight when those two had it taken care of.
Before long, the gang were under way again along with two more than ever before sick Dragon Slayers and a bunch of stuff they had highjack from the Dead Skull's ship.
"Sir, what would you like me to do?" A tall girl, wearing a mixture between Goth and punk clothing asked a man covered in a dark cloak. The girl had electric blue eyes that show no mercy and she had flowing turquoise hair that reach down to her knees which had a single side ponytail while the rest flowed.
They were inside a dark room with nothing but a throne for the man. There were no windows, no air conditioners, no heater, and not even a rubber mouse!
The man chuckled. "Ah, yes. You did well, Alice. You took care of the boy pretty darn well. But, I never would have imagine he was a Fairy Tail wizard. Who would have thought a weakling like him could sniff us out?"
"He never did knew the whole story." Alice sneered.
The man laughed again. "Quite. But it seems his sister and her friends have come to avenge him. What will you do, Alice?"
"Leave it to me. I shall give them a pleasant 'I'm sorry' present." Alice bowed and left the dark room.
The man smiled a cruel smile full of hatred. "Soon. Soon it will come and nothing can stop me. I will have my desire and no fairy is going to stop me."
"When are we going to get there?!" Jake groaned. He was at the side of the boat and was trying his best not to hurl. Liam was right next to him suffering just as much.
"Hey, look! Land ho!" James shouted.
"YES!" Liam and Jake jumped up but then flopped back down to their sickness.
"Pathetic." Everybody else commented.
"SHUT UP!"
It wasn't long until they had softly crash into the island. It looked like a nice tropical island where people should build a nice resort on. It was small and there were many wildlife on it. Yet, however, there was a tingling feeling about this place the gang couldn't shake off. The island had a mysterious aurora floating around its mist.
"Land!" Liam and Jake quickly jumped off the boat and landed in the mass of sand which sent a wave to splashed up and soak them both. The sand were sticking to them like cotton puffs! The others laughed.
"You guys look pretty good as sand dudes!" James rolled over in laughter.
"Nii-san, I think you'll do just fine as a sand dealer!" Miriam exclaimed.
"Bro, you could get so much money having a sand face!" Abigail shouted.
"Guys, let's try to get serious here." Destiny firmly said but one could tell she was trying her hardest not to laugh so much.
"Whatever." The two boys grumbled. They shook the sand off. Suddenly a strange smell came over them.
They quickly turned their heads toward the smell but then it stopped coming. Frowning, they glanced at each other. Something was up with this island.
Review! ;)
