Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Fairy Tail. I wanted to write OCs into the world of Fairy Tail and see how they would interact within it.
Chapter 4: The Team That Shoulders a Burden
It was raining that day. Not cliché, depressing rain that signals dark events, but a simple, gentle rain with a cliché rainbow in the sky. A thirteen-year-old Ada stood, her eyebrows furrowed in the entrance of the guild hall. Her brown-red hair now had a slightly longer fringe in the front and her hair reached her mid-back. Standing across from her was Jiro who flashed her a grin.
"Ada, I gotta go now. Duty calls," reassured Jiro.
"Just make sure you make it back home," Ada demanded.
Jiro gave her a hug just before he walked out of the guild and into the forest. Taru Makoto, Jun's father, came up to Ada and ruffled her hair. "I'll make sure he does not do anything too reckless," Taru said.
She watched Taru follow Jiro's disappearing figure. She sighed. Toru flew up to her and landed on her head. "You okay, Ada?"
A fourteen-year-old Alec came to her side. He put a hand on her shoulder. "Old-man Jiro's too tough to bite the dust," he said quietly.
Ada grinned, "You got that right," Ada's grin became a frown, "I know that should believe in him, but I'm still worried."
"He will be fine Ada. This hundred-year mission will be ours to accomplish." Senira spoke as she stalked up to Ada in her wolf form.
"Master…" Ada looked behind her shoulder into Senira's eyes, "but not even Fairy Tail could complete it."
Toru frowned. Alec narrowed his eyes. A strong silence plagued the air. The guild all gathered around Ada and Senira. "We should await his arrival with faith and trust, and he's not going alone. Taru is with him," Senira stated toward Ada in a stern tone, yet with a motherly softness in her eyes.
Ada smiled softly. She walked out of the guild. She turned to Senira, "I'm just going to go exploring with Alec."
Alec trailed after her and they went into a separate entrance that lead into the familiar forest. Toru followed after them, "don't leave me behind!"
They kept walking in silence. Alec and Toru looked at her, concern painted their gaze. They reached a clearing with a familiar beautiful mountain range. Ada sat down and brought her knees up to her chest. She rested her head and looked out at the scenery. Alec sat down beside her. He pulled her head onto his shoulder. Toru hugged her stomach. Tears fell down her cheeks. "You're good friends Alec, Toru," Ada muffled into his shoulder.
Alec frowned. Just a friend, huh.
The rain kept falling, it hit the ground even harder than moments before.
A month passed by. No word from the two most powerful men in the entire guild. A lot had happened in the month. The strongest guild in Fiore was blasted with a hit from Acnologia on Tenroujima. Once Griffin's Wing heard the news they went into shock. Ada noticed a tear fall down Senira's cheek while she heard her mumble "Marakov."
Ada seemed to have not as much spirit as usual. A fourteen-year-old Jun petted her head. She raised her brow, "who I am, George?"
Jun laughed. "My father's with him. No way in hell would they just die like that. Same with Fairy Tail."
Ada giggled, "Oh hell yeah they ain't dead. Not Daddy, not your Dad, or Fairy Tail."
The smiling Ada did not last long. Soon a month turned into a couple of years. No word from the two men. At least until Taru came back on his own. He fell to his knees in front of Ada, crying.
"He just disappeared... I left him to fight in one area, and the next time back I went to get him h-he was gone," Taru wailed, "I'm so sorry Ada. I promised that I would bring him home. I'm so sorry. Forgive me."
Ada placed her hand gently on Taru's shoulder. She smiled weakly, "I don't blame you, or Senira. The one that I blame is myself for letting him go."
Her voiced cracked as she comforted Taru. Tears fell down her cheeks. Once she felt them she ran out of the guild and into the forest. Alec, along with Toru and Jun chased after her, and found her in front of the mountain range. She kept chanting that it was her fault. Toru started to cry watching her despair. The tears would not stop falling. Jun and Alec held her for a night until she felt her tears dry. Her heart ached, felt as though someone mercilessly stabbed her chest with an inflamed dagger. It felt like they just kept digging into her heart until the pain had gone numb. Once the tears stopped she forced a smile at Jun and Alec. The smile did not have the same radiance as her other smiles before. Toru rested on her head, giving her words of encouragement. Alec felt tears well up as he watched her slouched form slowly walk back to the guild. Jun's eyes went dead as they approached the guild doors. Senira was crouched down, begging for forgiveness. Ada tried to get her to stop and said that it was her fault. However, Jun launched an attack. Alec jumped in front of Senira and Jun. He stopped a transformed Golem from attacking Senira. Jun lashed out at Alec and the two got into a fight. Ada and Toru demanded that they stop. Jun glared icily at Ada.
"Stay out of this. This is between me and this jerk," Jun stated with menace.
Alec growled and launched a powerful roar of water. Jun was sent flying. He clutched his torso. He then commanded the Golem into the form of a basilisk. The two fought for a couple hours. Alec finally beat some sense into Jun. The battle ended in Alec's victory. They laid on the ground, out of magic and unable to move. Ada kneeled beside Jun and supported his head onto her lap. Toru ran up and hugged Alec's head. Alec, despite a wave of jealousy of Ada and Jun, let them be.
"Thank you, Jun. But no else's to blame for Daddy disappearing, except me. If I only didn't let him go on that mission. None of this hell would've happened," Ada spoke softly as tears flooded her rose-coloured cheeks.
"There's still a chance!" Toru exclaimed as he ran up to Ada, "old-man Jiro is not dead, he's missing. There's still a chance!"
Ada petted Toru ears, "Toru… you're right. He is not dead. No way could he be dead. He is still out there, and I will find him!"
Alec smiled at Ada's conviction as he got up with all of his strength and sat down beside her. He grabbed her head and pulled her into his shoulder. He patted her forehead. Ada grinned brightly. "You guys… thank you…" she spoke into Alec's shoulder.
Alec smiled, "we'll help you."
Ada squirmed out and looked up at Alec. She kept her shining grin as tears kept falling.
Jun reached up and placed his hand on her cheek. He brought himself up and kissed her forehead. Alec's aura turned dark as he glared daggers at Jun, it took his remaining strength to hold himself back. Ada raised her brow at him. Jun chuckled, "consider it official. We are now a team, dedicated to finding old-man Jiro."
"I'm so spoiled by you three," Ada said as she wiped her tears, "our journey won't stop until we bring him home."
Alec and Jun pulled Ada into a group hug. "A team, huh? If it's for Ada, it's already worth it," whispered Alec.
Jun glared for a moment, but immediately let it go with a small smile. Toru jumped up and landed on Ada's head, "don't forget about me!"
Ada pet Toru's back, "of course not."
The four remained in the group hug for a while. Ready to take on the burden of finding a man that is a father, a powerful wizard, and someone that Griffin's Wing cannot move forward without.
AN: I want to try something that is more than likely really lazy and the most pointless thing I have ever done in my. Profile bios of little information about characters that will probably not appear in the story.
Ada Maple: Birthday: June 3rd, 771. Favorite colour is red. She wields the Wand Magic, Absorptie. It's abilities are pretty easy to understand, mainly because I gave it a pretty self-explanatory title. She loves exploring and has a very curious nature (kind of a "go-figure" at this point). She is curious to a fault. She inspects or wants anything that is weird, new or something that peeks her interest.
