It had been two weeks since Team Natsu had brought Natsu in with his skin cold and his magic dangerously low, Natsu still hadn't awoken- in fact he hadn't even moved once.
Lucy sat next to the Dragon Slayer's bedside with Happy standing on the bed next to the pillow. Erza and Gray were helping Levy and Freed try to track where Natsu's magic was going. Lucy still remembered the stabbing pain when Porlyusica had told them that Natsu wouldn't wake up until the draining had stopped. He wasn't going to die, not yet- but he wouldn't wake up. However he wouldn't be able to last forever like this.
Happy peeked back at Lucy, "Will they be able to find it?"
Lucy nodded, "They'll find it." Lucy said, mostly trying to encourage herself. "This is Natsu we're talking about here- he won't let something like this beat him!"
"Aye." Happy said, not as enthusiastically as normal, and looked over at his friend."Lucy?"
"What is it?"
"Did you ever remember what spell had hit him?"
"No." Lucy sighed, then looked over her shoulder to try to see what the new commotion was. She quickly stood up and raced over to the door looking out, "What is it?"
Lisanna looked back, "Freed and the others found out where Natsu's power is going."
"That's great!"
"The Master sent Laxus and his group to investigate."
"Why them?" Happy asked.
"Because- if it's what we think this is we could be in the start of a war." Lisanna said and turned away, "Natsu's magic was traced to a Dark Guild."
Lucy was silent as Lisanna took off- a Dark Guild?
"That would seem to be the case." Erza said from behind her- Lucy jumped, but forced herself to keep quiet upon seeing the requip mage's face, "The Master must believe that we're up against a strong opponent if he feels he needs to send Laxus ahead."
"And is that ok with you?" Lucy asked, then peeked back at Natsu,"I mean-"
"It was the Master's decision, do I feel that since Natsu is apart of our team that we should be the ones to go ahead first? Yes- but if the Master is right we will have a chance to teach those fools a lesson."
Lucy gulped.
. . . . .
Laxus scowled- looking over the edge at the large stone building, "You sure it's coming from there?"
Freed knelt next to him- "According to my tracking spell Natsu's magic power is going in there."
"That's a pretty big Dark Guild." Bickslow said and his "babies" cheered behind him, "Go figure Natsu had to get tangled in with such a big one."
Evergreen opened her fan, "Should we say hello?"
The answer soon came with a typical Fairy Tail charge, complete with the destruction of one of the walls on the building. Soon a hive of dark mages poured out of the building, "Now this is more like it!" Bickslow cheered.
"More like it! More like it!" His babies cheered after him then attack- taking out a fairly large amount of them.
"Dark Ecriture- Pain!" Freed yelled attacking another dark mage, then he flew forward with his dark wings and struck down several more mages- flying past Evergreen as her Fairy Magic took out an equally large portion of them.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Laxus inhaled then let out a huge breath of lightning, then he turned to Freed, "Go find out where Natsu's power is going!"
"Right." Freed quickly took off inside the building- leaving the fight to the rest of them.
Laxus turned away towards the rest of the dark mages, there was a lot of them- but they weren't very powerful. Definitely not the type that Natsu would fall to, what the heck is going on?
. . . . .
Makarov sat on the counter, staring at the door. There had still been no news from Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe- he could only hope that it was a good thing- that there would be nothing to worry about, that they checked it out and were coming back- that everything would return to normal without a hassle. However, this was Fairy Tail- so probably not.
"Master?" Mira walked forward, "Freed is on the communications lacrima."
Master Makarov nodded and hopped down, "Is the rest of Natsu's team still here?"
"Yes Master, they're with Natsu."
Makarov nodded, "Good, make sure those three stay in, the last thing we need is for them to go rampaging."
"Of course Master, but there are four of them." The bartender giggled then she went upstairs to check on them as Makarov wandered over to the lacrima. "Were you able to find something out Freed?"
"Master we may have a problem."
. . . . .
"You ready Happy?" A younger Natsu asked as they were coming up on their destination. He was nine or so years old- not that anybody really knew the Dragon Slayers age- not even Natsu himself. He looked at the paper in his hands. Thanks to Erza he was able to read most of the paper so he knew what he needed to do- and he had spoken to the man who had given the request.
The request shouldn't be too hard- go destroy a small dark guild's guild hall. He tended to destroy stuff during his requests- so he might as well, not too mention that he didn't have to hold back.
"Aye Sir!" The young Happy cheered, he was young and could only carry Natsu since he was small, he couldn't really carry him for far.
Up ahead the two of them could hear voices and they slinked forward- using a boulder to conceal themselves they looked over the ledge at a huge stone building. "Natsu?" Happy whispered, "The client said it would be small."
Natsu stared- it was huge, their client had said a few wizards were starting up a Dark Guild and he wanted them gone before it got too big- and he couldn't even count how many people were down there.
"Alright."
. . . . .
Happy opened his eyes, a dream? He sat up and looked over at Natsu- who was still sleeping. I remember that job...
"You alright Happy?" Lucy asked seeing that the blue cat was acting odd.
"Aye." Happy said and sat next to his friend's head."It was just a dream."
Lucy nodded and picked him up, having the worried cat sit on her lap, "I want Natsu to wake up!" Happy suddenly burst into tears.
Lucy quietly stroked the cat, "He will." She looked at the sleeping mage's face, "He won't let this beat him."
. . . . .
Erza stepped onto the roof of the guild where she found Gray sitting quietly, staring out at the sea, "Freed was able to prove that they have Natsu's powers."
Gray peeked back, "How the hell did they get him? We've never had a job in that town." He asked, his voice sounded angry.
"According to the Master Natsu had a job there once when he was younger, he wants us to go visit the client." Erza said and Gray stood up.
"Alright, when do we leave?"
"Now."
"What about Lucy and Happy?"
"I think it would be best if they stay with Natsu." Erza said, after a moment of silence Gray slowly nodded.
"Alright then- let's go."
The two of them boarded the next train to Mistros- a small town not too far from Magnolia, sitting across from felt so wrong without hearing Natsu's pained groans from his Dragon Slayer motion sickness. They had explained the situation with Lucy- who had quickly agreed, staying behind with Natsu and Happy.
"How much do we know of this client?" Gray asked.
Erza pulled out an old paper, "His name is Vigo Dyestar. At the time he was thirty four years old and that was about nine years ago."
"So we're hoping that this guy will remember a request from nine years ago? Was Natsu his only one?"
"So it seems." Erza said while reading the paper. "Natsu's request was to destroy a building that a few dark mages were using to try and start up a Dark Guild."
"Sound like a perfect job for Natsu." Gray said, "So what went wrong?"
"According to this- nothing. The task was complete and Natsu returned later on that day with only a few scratches. I do remember Happy saying that the guild had been bigger then the client had let on however."
"Can I see that paper?" Gray asked and Erza handed it over, he read over it- it was an old report that a client would sometimes write up. (Normally it was complaints) "This guy seems happy with the job done."
"Quite." Erza said, "I remember Master nearly fainted when he got a report complimenting Natsu."
Gray chuckled, "Yeah and he forced Natsu to go see Porlyusica."
They both chuckled at that memory.
Gray continued reading over the paper, "So judging by this- it's not a pissed off client, we should be able to get something out of him."
Soon the two of them got off the train heading to the address listed on the old report, they soon came up to a three story mansion. "This is it." Gray said and opened the gate.
They walked up to the large double doors and Erza knocked on the door. After a moment the door opened revealing a small maid, "Can I help you?"
"We're here to speak with Vigo Dyestar." Erza said.
"One moment please." The maid said and closed the door.
"Well at least he lives in the same place." Gray said and a moment after the maid returned- opening the door all the way.
"Please come in."The maid said and they walked in, "Follow me." She said and started walking- not really giving them much of a choice. Gray and Erza followed silently behind the maid through the halls and up to the doors, "Please enter- my Master is inside."
"Thank you." Erza said and they entered. Behind the desk sat an average looking man in his forties with dark hair and eyes, and wearing a suit. "Welcome." He looked up and saw the guild mark, immediately smiling, "Please sit down. I had a friend of your's help me a little while ago. What can I do for you Fairy Tail mages?"
"It's about Natsu, the mage that accepted your request nine years ago."
"And did a fine job at that." Vigo saw the look in the two mages eyes, "Is he alright?"
"To put it simply- he's sick, and we believe that it has something to do with your request." Gray said and watched Vigo's face change into shock.
"Is he going to be alright?"
"Only if we can stop the source." Erza answered, "We believe it to be the Dark guild that you asked him to destroy."
"That's horrible, ask me whatever you like please- if it will help you friend." Vigo said.
"Thank you, can you tell us what happened during the request?" Erza asked.
Vigo nodded, "After the building was destroyed I was able to find their security records, one of their dark mages killed my wife- so every time I would go into a- fit, I would watch the tape to remind myself that she was avenged." Vigo said and the two of them kept quiet, what could you say?
He pulled an old tape out of the drawer, "I can tell you what I know- but I think that this will help more."
