I don't own Fairy Tail, and while there are a lot of OC's in this story now they are not intentionally based on anyone's work, professional or otherwise, unless otherwise stated.
Personal note, I find it funny that some people really seem to struggle to come up with evil characters while I find it kinda fun. Although having said that I really struggle with anything romantic and there are some really good ones on this site. Thanks to anyone who's read this far. I really would love it if you could let me know what you think
The sun rose slowly over the mountains, but this dawn would bring no joy. The solitary figure stalked though the forest like a man on a mission. He was alone, he didn't need any friends. They were a weakness that would only slow him down. Everyone was scared of him anyway, his power to control four elemental demons was too powerful and at any moment he could lose control…
The Gary Stu was too caught up in his own musings about how awesome he was and wandered straight into the world's most obvious pitfall trap.
Good Grief.
Two figures approached the trap and peered inside to see their prey.
"Is this one of them?" Asked the first, an older man with a slight build. Half of his face seemed frozen and fallen, as though he couldn't move it. He didn't look threatening at all yet the skinny, foul smelling man with the bulging eyes was terrified of him. Maybe it had something to do with the huge centipede that was wrapped around his neck.
"Yes. It's a dreamer. A strong one too. Our Lord will be pleased…!" Bosh began babbling but was cut off as the bug around his neck tightened its grip
"My Lord does not forgive traitors. You should watch your tongue" The man turned his attention back to the semi conscious form in the pit. At his command hundreds of spiders crawled up to the boy and began to wrap him up in their webs before carrying him on their backs. It was time to take the prey home.
After spending an uncomfortable night in the forest the three girls had managed to agree to head to a nearby town. They were all hungry and needed some way to find their bearings. Thankfully Marci had written in a joke about her OC's wallet. While it wasn't very funny it at least meant that she had one and there was money in it. The other two hadn't thought about details like that. This lead to a discussion of now Lucy had originally met Happy and Natsu and had bought them dinner, which lead to a discussion about meeting actual Fairy Tail Wizards.
"I'm most excited to meet Natsu and Wendy! The Dragon Slayers are so cool! And the Exceeds too!" Lumia chirped and skipped on a happy cloud.
"Yeah, speaking of Exceeds, if you're a Dragon Slayer too shouldn't you have a Exceed partner? Y'know, since pretty much everyone has one now" Marci commented, making Lumia stop dead in her tracks.
"You're right. I didn't think of that" Her golden eyes treated to spill over with tears at the oversight. The girl was emotional.
"That's because you were too busy working out how many bows your dress should have. Seriously, how long did you spend describing that awful get up?" Kayla sneered at her
"You don't have to be so mean" Said Lumia, fighting back the tears that were burning her eyes and fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.
"It's not my fault you're a bad writer. If you just took some time to think about things besides what you look like you'd be in a much better position" Kayla started. Marci stepped up
"Look, you may not like it but we're all in the same boat here. Picking fights with each other isn't going to help"
"You're one to talk. You could have come up with any kind of magic in the world and you chose drawing pictures? Do you even have any decent weapons or armor to requip or is that where you keep you sketchbooks? And what are you going to do when we have to fight Dark Guilds? Hide behind Little Miss Sunshine here? I'm clearly the strongest out of all of us so you two should just shut up and follow what I say. That's the only way we're going to get to the bottom of this" With that Kayla swished away, her long black hair and cape flowing behind her. Marci yelled after her "Who said anything about fighting dark guilds?!"
"In my story I fight dark guilds all the time. What do you do? Fight bad guys with art?" With that the self-proclaimed Darkness Maker sauntered off, laughing as she went about being the better writer.
The tears Lumia had been holding back spilled out.
"Don't worry about her, I bet she's never wrote an original character before now. She probably just writes those clichéd stories where Lucy gets kicked out of the guild and turns all dark and twisted. Moron's so full of herself that she wouldn't know a good idea if it jumped out of the bushes and chased her around" with that Marci puffed up her chest and flapped her hands above her head as she hopped from one foot to the other. "I am the Idea Monster! Boogah boogah boo!"
Lumia sniffed a little and wiped her eyes. "You really think so?"
"Sure I do, nobody can be that mean all the time. It's probably just an act because she wants to be the dark character, like Gajeel. And speaking of him, he didn't meet Pantherlily right away either, now did he? I'm sure your Exceed partner is out there somewhere waiting for you" She smiled and ruffled Lumia's hair, earning a small giggle from the younger girl. "Now, lets go find something to eat"
Three figures approached a rich, opulent mansion. One led, one followed, and the third was dragged on the back of spiders. The man with the frozen face opened the door and led the way to a large chamber where his companions were waiting. A young girl with dark blue hair piled high in a ponytail bounced around excitedly and grabbed the hands of her companion, a young woman conservatively dressed in a black outfit with her equally dark hair in a tight black bun.
"Brunhilde! Brunhilde look! Wyndham is home. Who has he brought with him?" The blue haired girl asked excitedly. She kept her eyes closed as she said this.
"He has brought the traitor. Surely you can smell him, Miss Eustace?" said the woman identified as Brunhilde spoke in a clipped tone. Eustace picked up a cane from the chair beside her and carefully walked over.
"I can, but there's someone else. There are too many spiders for me to tell who it is" said the blind girl.
"It doesn't matter who he is, where is Maddock?" said the man with the frozen face, now known as Wyndham.
"With the Lord. Shall I escort you to them?" Said Brunhilde
The two remaining men were in a small, dark chamber to the side. Wyndham dragged his captives with him and the two women followed.
"You found him. And what is that" Maddock spat at the boy held captive by the spiders. A tall and broad man with steely grey eyes, he wore only a pair of baggy trousers showing off his muscular chest. There was no hair anywhere on his body but he was covered in imposing tattoos.
"The guild… Hydra Head…" Bosh stammered uselessly
"Didn't you hear. That guild is gone. Lamia Scale killed the guild master"
"But he's..!" The centipede around Bosh's neck pulled tight, silencing the man. The final figure in the room stood facing the fire. He kept his back turned as he spoke.
"It seems someone hired another Legal guild to put an end to your experiments, Vestor. I wonder who it could have been"
"Fairy Tail! They have my book! They have my dreamers!" Bosh screamed before Wyndham silenced him again
"We'll have to recover it. Without it this filthy creature is useless" said Maddock. Behind him Eustace stifled a laugh.
"Very well Maddock, I shall leave this to you. In the meantime let us prepare. I want to see this so-called 'Dreamers' magic for myself"
Back at the village Lumia had found a street vendor selling steamed buns that smelled amazing and was pressing her hands against the cart while Marci was haggling over prices. Neither of them knew where their grumpy companion had gone but they weren't too worried right now. The smell of deliciousness and the growls of empty bellies were all that mattered. That was when a certain pink haired young man with a certain blue cat sitting on his shoulder decided that he'd join Lumia in pressing his hands against the cart and openly drooling.
"Are those two with you as well?" The Vendor asked. Down the street a young woman with long blonde hair was shouting
"Natsu! Happy! Where did you guys go?"
Marci could feel the sweat drop off her brow before she answered the vendor.
"Err… I think I'll take another dozen"
