Hello everybody it's your boy that's right I'm back here to write Chapter 3 of the weapon and The Time Mage the last time we left off it was revealed that ultear was Leon's Meister and now we are going to see just how that's going to go so let's get to it
Disclaimer I do not own Fairy Tail or Soul Eater that right belongs to their respective creators but I do own My OC so that's a plus right? Right? Whatever let's get to it.
(Chapter 3 trust and a past revealed.)
It has been 2 hours since it was revealed that ultear was Leon's partner because the seven kin of purgatory had already been assembled he could not legitimately join the group but because of his weapon soul biology he was technically considered to be handheld weapon saw that he was assigned to be with ultear and meredy at all times that includes Guild meetings on missions and especially during Council assemblies although when Leon learned that ultear was a member of the council he was none too happy but when ultear was told about his reasons because for some reason she and her daughter are the only ones he will talk to she understood completely why he hates the council.
(Flashback)
So you're a member of that accursed Council? Said Leon.
Yes that's right although Leon did not change his normally emotionless facial expression she could tell thanks to their souls being linked together due to a ritual that they did together even though it left her feeling rather sore she could tell that he was not too happy about it so she asked why do you hate them?
He was going to deny answering the question but he was on the receiving end of a begging face but keeping in tune with his emotional control he asked her to promise not to tell anybody about it except meredy because despite the fact that he has lost touch with his Humanity he feels the need to protect and trust her because despite being a young dark Mage she still a pure soul upon receiving a nod of acknowledgement and promise he began to explain.
Sigh as you know I am the last of my kind but prior to the actual Extinction of my race which I'm not ready to tell you about right away she immediately pouted at that but understood as they just met each other the council tried many times to either get my race under their thumb or wipe us out entirely.
But why? She asked.
Because my race was rumored to have very distant connections to zeref ultear gasped upon hearing that as it was no secret that she wanted to find the legendary Black wizard for her own agenda and to learn that Leon her new partner had some very distant connections to him it was a real shocker to her I despise the council because in the long run they're nothing more than old leeches that will do anything it takes to put anything even remotely powerful under their thumb and they do it all while under the banner of supposedly being for the greater good of the Magical World.
But not belino said ultear he raised an eyebrow which is basically from what she's learned so far is the equivalency of saying please explain so she did she's the only one who's nice to me while everyone else just always gets on to me for trying to have some fun.
So can you at least try and be nice to her?
I will try! he said.
But the moment she reveals herself to be like the rest of the council I will have no obligation to treat her any different.
She nodded in understanding that was a Fair Deal.
(Flashback over!)
And so by agreement Leon promised not to show any open hostility to her fellow council members if anything just to help her maintain her cover.
He also said that she would need to undergo training in order to handle wielding him as with their current state of connection her limit is about 1 minute and that was unacceptable in his eyes and so for the next 5 hours he helped train her into the ground not only building up her physical strength since his true weapon form is quite heavy but the same time building up her soul wavelength Reserves so that she can wield him longer and through hard work and dedication as well as a form of understanding they were able to extend the time that she can wield him to 10 minutes which was an acceptable time limits seeing as he's quite capable of fighting on his own.
(Later that night)
Leon helped A thoroughly exhausted ultear into the airship you did well 10 minutes that's quite an accomplishment for a beginner.
Thanks she said but I have never been so exhausted before in all my life and I had to train to master ice-make magic on my own without anyone ever being there to train me in it.
Well that's understandable training in magic is much more simpler than what you've been doing today when your training at Magic you basically are just expanding mana which you can regenerate over time but welding a weapon soul in battle it doesn't take magical energy it takes the energy of your soul your soul wavelength if you will and that's far more exhausting but don't worry a good night's rest and you'll be ok he said in his usual emotionless voice with the same emotionless face but through their connection she could tell that he cared.
Ha tell me something do you care about me and Meredy? I do not know I have lost all attachments my human emotions I cannot tell if I care about the two of you but I do feel a certain connection to the two of you A need to protect both of you.
She just gave a small smile from these five hours of training thanks to their resonance they were able to connect in a way that was much faster than most people could well more along the lines that she connected Leon does not know but she made a solemn vow to yourself to help him regain his Humanity! that just means that you really do care she said.
Really? I cannot tell but unlike me you have your emotions so I will simply take your word for it you're not like my past wielders. That confused her and she asked past wielders?
He nodded you see back in the day about 10 years ago I used to be a weapon soul that could resonate with nearly anybody however many of the people that I partnered with over the years trying to find that one special partner they never treated me like one only as disposable tool a means to an end each time that they came close to being killed they always left me behind to save their own skins he unzipped his jacket and lifted up his shirt revealing a veritable storm of scars these scars are the results of Humanity's inherent selfishness.
Ultear looked on in horror at the condition of his chest but managed to compose herself and she said not all humans are like that I assure you I will be your best partner ever! she said with determination littering her face.
For the first time since she met him he showed an actual inkling of emotion his eyes widened in surprise and then he said I look forward to you making those words come true but for now you should get some sleep you pretty much exhausted your soul wavelength today and now you need to rest in order to restore it to full power pushing yourself any further could result in you killing yourself.
She nodded but she said okay but I need to tuck in my daughter first.
He nodded and said very well sleep tight.
After tucking in meredy ultear went to bed and immediately crashed Wiley on mysteriously went and stood on the Skydeck and just stared at the sky.
(Two hours later 2:30am)
Ultear woke up to get a glass of water feeling ridiculously parched from all the training she did today after she got the aforementioned glass she proceeded to walk back to her room only to look at the sky back to see her partner standing out there and of course being the person that she is she was curious why he was not in bed in fact he wasn't even dressed in kind of bed wear.
Yawnnnnn! Leon why aren't you in bed? she asked in a groggy voice signaling just how tired she was. I never sleep haven't slept in over 20 years.
WHAT? She snapped out of her sleepy state her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates yeah she was just that surprised. You seriously haven't slept in 20 years why?
Because I've always been on the move because there's never been someone I could trust or a place I could feel safe so I've always been on the move never sleeping and always wiping out anyone who intends to do me harm.
Well you trust me don't you? You have proven to be a trustworthy woman you have not tried to backstab me which considering what I've heard about you throughout the Airship is rather surprising.
Listen I may have manipulated a lot of people but in the end there are still people I care about mostly my daughter but now you now answer my question do you trust me?
Yes.
Then listen to your new partner there's only been our room assigned to you right next door to me go in there and get yourself some sleep please.
Okay I trust you to be honest it would be nice to just be able to rest and not have to look over my shoulder every 5 Seconds.
Satisfied with the fact that her new companion trusted her enough to do as she pleaded she led him to his new room and help him lay down watching as he steadily fell asleep.
(Chapter 3 end)
