Hellloooo Nurse! Okay, onward to Chapter 4. As promised, this one will be lengthy, but in a good way!
As for the actual Manga, I am trying very hard to stay true to the original story, adding in my story into parts that does not severely affect the true story! SOO, leave any comments or constructive criticism, It won't hurt my feelings, I promise ;)
Also, you may not know this… but I don't actually own any part of Fairy Tail. SHOCKER! I know
ENJOI!
A Hint of Recognition
Zeref waited, panicky to the boom that came from her direction. After minutes, which felt like hours, a familiar black bird appeared before him.
"Hiro, pass to me the message." Zeref demanded
"Yes Master" A feminine and wise voice fell from the birds beak "It appears that Grimiore Hearts is behind the new attack. However, "Creol" has been injured, I am no longer aware as to where she stands. You must leave the island, for their target is you Master."
Zeref began to quake with anger, fingers trembling, a black shroud beginning to cover him. Hiro looked slightly fearful but wanted to add one more thing.
"Master, If my senses are correct, then Fariy Tail resides on this island at the current moment. And if that is true, then I believe that her memory may return. What if they recognize La-"
"Do NOT speak her true name." Zeref growled to Creol's companion. "It will happen when it is time. But that does not matter to me right now. What matters to me is Grimiore Hearts. They have made me very angry."
"Yes… master Zeref." The bird then disappeared.
Zeref began to walk toward the explosion, his eyes now red, two black circles in them, and terrifying.
(Back to "Creol")
Creol looked at her friend, his voice choking, painful 'How did I not die, I should have died from that fall' she pondered, unable to speak with ease. She managed to choke out "Cascade… Are you… alright?"
"I apologize Mistress, but I can no longer move, I must return to my physical body. Please, forgive me." Slowly Cascade dissipated into a black dust."
"No" a tear fell from Creol's eye "I am sorry I could not release you in time, Cascade I hope it does not hurt too much." After the beast had disappeared, Creol set her head in her hands. She wasn't feeling very strong, and part of her magic was already gone. But the name "Zeref, Big Brother, Zeref Big Brother, Zeref, Big Brother"
As she thought this, more explosions occurred around her, and she shot up to see dozens of Grimiore hearts surrounding her.
"Summoning Shadow… ALLY" This took a lot more magical power than Hiro and Cascade. A giant monster appeared with a very large sword. He was completely black, four men tall, and he looked like a giant bear with horns and Lions feet. He walked upright!
"Angel, are you fighting with me? You look severely injured. Shall I tend to the wounds?"
"Yes, I am fighting with you, and No, we are a little busy right now for healing, thankyou though. Do you have my weapon?" she whispered.
"Of course angel!" The giant opened up a pocket of air with the wave of his large paw, and a fan dropped to her feet.
"HA! A child with a fan and some large animal, what a joke?!" A masked man held on to his stomach as he laughed at the eight year old who was surrounded. The other men joined in the laughter. "Man did we catch a break getting this kid. Men, you all bring down the monster, I'll get the girl."
She growled at him and looked up at her furry friend. "Methais, if it gets too difficult, would you mind going back to your main body. I don't want you too injured, Ok?"
"I must refuse angel. I will stand by your side until I fall."
She sighed and nodded her head "Everyone is far to kind to me."
The main Grimiore Heart came at Creol and she stuck up her folded fan in front of her face, in a fighting stance.
Methais, beside her, swung his mighty and threatening sword at the attackers.
"One." Creol's voice had changed, sounding somewhat demonic. "Twilight." Creol's turned into a solid blue color, with her pupils the same as Zeref's.
The man did not stop, and Creols fan opened a tiny big. Blackness suddenly shrouded his world leaving him blind, this also caught a few others.
"Two: Huntress" Her voice echoed through the darkness. Men were screaming separately, with pain, and misery. The main guy stood still in fear.
"Three: Intimidation" She appeared in front of the man, and what looked like a demon stood behind her as if he was a puppeteer. She drew a sword, and sliced his arm.
"AHG" he yelled "I don't understand. What are you?!"
"Tell me why you wish to awaken my brother" Her eyes stayed icy blue, but she was no longer Creol.
"Wiat! Please! I don't know!" She smirked at his pleading and cut his leg.
He screamed again "Please! PLEASE! I beg you, I don't know anything! I just do what Master Hades asks! B-but Ultear! She would know!"
"There are ten stages to my Desolation Magic. My Fan of Destruction is the provider of this ability in me." She smiled demonically at the man. "If you make it to ten, you will undoubtedly die. However, you are a weakling who could not make it past three. How disappointing." She raised the sword over her head.
"You are a complete embarrassment to your brothers! Now DISAPEAR!" she held up her sword and swung it down.
Reality returned, 18 men fell, including the main victim. Creol also fell to her knees, covering her face with her hand.
"Angel?!"
"I'm fine! I just blacked out a bit!" She held up her hand, and used the other arm to clutch her stomach. She stood, unwilling to back down, "LETS GO!" She screamed, leaping at the enemy with her ally.
2 Hours Passed
Creol fell to her knees, the final time, all of her power was gone. The number of the enemy's would not stop increasing.
Her ally fell as well, he landed hard and began to dissipate. He got out "I apologize Angel. I failed you." And he disappeared.
"Me-thais…" she fell completely into darkness, only thinking of Zeref.
While she could not see, she could feel. She felt two sets of arms wrap around her, placing something heavy unto her feet. Moments later, she was flying, and then falling, and then wet.
'Am I dead?' she pondered. 'No. No I can't be. I think… I think I am sinking.'
Creol opened her eyes to a salty watery environment, an inability to breathe.
'I… failed? But, what about Zeref? He'll be mad that I haven't returned yet. He'll be really mad… He might wake up. He doesn't want to wake up… I can't… I can't do this on my own. I need them. I need my Natsu-nii and Lisanna-nee… wait… who?'
Her body jolted from the lack of air.
'This really hurts. I don't want to die yet. But its over… isn't it? Yeah… I…'
Her eyes began to close. 'Please forgive me Zeref… Nat-su'
A pair of arms wrapped around her and suddenly she was rushing upward, against the water's pull. "wkanec!" A gruff voice. She heard someone, but it was fuzzy.
Her body was being roughly shaken, and she decided that she could open her eyes to this new, and yet oddly familiar feeling.
"Perhaps she cannot open her eyes. A spell of sorts?" A soothing voice spoke.
"My Babies can beat her eyes open, yeahhh" A creepy voice.
"No, Grimiore Hearts threw her into the ocean to die. I don't think she is any sort of enemy."
Grimiore Hearts stole her big brother. She hated Grimiore Hearts. These people were not Grimiore Hearts, and even sounded like they hated Grimiore Hearts as well. Maybe.. just maybe 'they can save—'
"Zeref-nii" his name fell from her mouth as she opened her eyes to see the three men around her.
"Zeref?!" The gruff voice matched the man in a black torn up cloak, with orangish brown spiky hair, he looked older than the green haired gentlemen and the Knight with Tiki's floating around him.
"Are you Fairy Tail?" She looked at the man holding her. "If you are, you've gotta help me! Theve taken Zeref, theyre gonna hurt him, or awaken him! Please you gotta—"
"Yeah, were Fairy Tail. I'm Gildarts, but I'm afraid we aint here for Zeref. Who are you and why are you on this island, explain what is going on."
"My name is… is… well I think its Creol, but for some odd reason I think I'm wrong. Heh.." she sighed and looked at the three men "I'm sorry, I didn't know that this island belonged to Fairy Tail. About nin months ago Zeref and I were looking for a place to stay, to live alone. I found this island by chance and brought Zeref here. He… kills anything around him, but this island can sustain his presence better than all places we had been before here. As for my name, I have memory loss. I can't remember more than the last year and a half of my life. Zeref saved me… about a year ago. I don't know my real name, so I called myself Creol, and it stuck. And as to what is going on. Grimiore Hearts is after Zeref to awaken him, which is a very very bad idea. But for some reason they also wish to take out Fairy Tail, part of your guild. I don't know much about what is going on, but I know that your friends are probably in a lot of trouble…"
"Enough. I'll ask more later, I can smell Natsu's fire near here. And he is fighting someone strong." Gildarts turned to his comrades "Find the base where the others are gathered, I'll go fight with Natsu and the others, take the kid with you for medical attent-"
"No! You said 'Natsu' right? I know that name. Zeref wanted to meet Natsu. I need to go with you, I might be able to ask Natsu for some help, plus his name sounds really… kind. Please, I need to see this Natsu..."
