I know I haven't updated in a while, but everything with my computer has finally been settled and I recently started a new story, which is up right now, called Looking for Dead.

Anyway, I know I need to do some editing in my other chapters, but for some reason when I open those, they don't show the mistakes, so I'm sorry. But I'll try and figure it out.

So, we are continuing where we left off which was with our heroes/heroines and they were going to the Fairy Tail guildhall. Just so you know, the story starts when they get there, not in the transition of walking there.

Summary of that time: they walk in silence with Ria and Loke occasionally shooting looks at each other, her's full of slight longing and sadness. His of resentment and distrust. That will be explained. Oh, and Ria's going to be fighting someone this chapter, probably one of the dragon slayers who hits on her (Sting or Rouge).

SO here we go!

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL! HIRO MASHIMA STILL OWNS IT BECAUSE CANA AND MIRAJANE AVE NOT GIVEN IN TO PASSION!


Mira's POV

It was a pretty boring day at the guild, not much was going on except Gajeel was looking for Natsu to fight, the Master was introducing a new member, and Cana hadn't touched a beer in an hour because she was messing with her cards saying things like "how can there be two?" "no that can't happen" and "what kind of magic is this?". (A/N her ramblings are important and the new member might be)

So it was a big surprise when the doors burst open and Loke ran in carrying a girl with blue hair and piercings up to the infirmary. She looked like a Gajeel and Levy cross, which could happen if the ever realized their feelings and got together! But then we all looked to the entrance. . .more crosses, and I was about to shout that information when Erza yelled "Alright, we're here and Amy is recuperating, now explain!"

Anyone in their right mind would have stood there and blurted out their life story just so they wouldn't get stabbed with the massive sword our Titania carried, but no, the blonde girl who stood in front of the small pack of kids just shrugged and walked past the woman to the bar and sat down. Yep, definitely not in her right mind.

"Actually Erza, I said we'd explain when Amy was better and feeling up too it, because she has a part in it as well. Plus, I still need to figure out what to tell you, because we can't tell you everything, or even most things. So get over it." She said, and a couple people whistled, she was crazy.

So I stepped in. "Okay, wait a minute, what is going on? Erza who are these kids, and why do they look familiar?"

"Wait, how do they look familiar?" Natsu that idiot, I internally face palmed.

"Yea, how?" a girl with ginger pink hair spoke, looking an awful lot like Natsu at the moment. "Ria, I don't get it."

"Uh, Ignia?" another bluenette poked her.

"Yea Lumie?"

"None of us get it, so please don't be specific about yourself."

"Oh."

Now there was an awkward silence. Which dragged on and on and on.


Ria's POV

Great, awkward silence. I hate these, but I had no way to break it or the stares I was getting from the other guild members for brushing off Erza. But I didn't have anything to say.

But my mom, or not my mom, did. "Okay everyone, we've got some new people in the guild and one of their friends in the infirmary, so let's be nice and just go back to what we were doing! Or else!" She said in her cheery threat voice.

"Um. . ." Alzack started, but she sot him a death glare "Nothing!"

"Hey," I called to my friends. "We need to talk."

"Got it!" "Aye." "Sure." They wandered over, careful not to stare. And we all sat around a table, leaning or heads in, like a sports team.

"So, Ria. What are we gonna do?" Star looked at me.

"Honestly, I don't know. We'll have to explain somethings, but what? And we won't be able to leave until Amy get's better. That and we also have to find Makarov."

"Makarov?" Mom, it was too hard to call her Mira, questioned. "You mean the master?"

Everyone looked up at this, so they had been listening.

"Oh, uhh no." 'Man I wish Amy was here, she could smooth talk anybody.' "No, my little brother Makarov. He was taken." My voice broke on the last word.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." she said, maybe she knew what it was like. No of course she did! Our aunt Lisanna! "I, well my younger sister died several years ago. But at least you can get him back." She smiled again.

"Yea." I grinned. "At least I can get him back." Right then I made a split decision. "You know what guys?"

"What Ria?"

"I think we can take a break for a little while. We still need Amy to recover before anything, right?"

"Yea."

"Then go socialize." I added a little bit of a threat into my order, because I know that otherwise they would stay and try to comfort me. Which I didn't want. "Go!"

So they did, and all that meant that the twins went back to bother Gray and start a fight, and the triplets divided into two groups, the boy and the girls who went to random people and asked questions, while Marco stayed behind and sat at the bar. I sat next to him because he didn't question.

"Hey, miss?" I called to Mom, because I "didn't know her name". "Um, can we get two drinks down here?"

"Yea," she walked over. "What do you want?"

"A vanilla milkshake for him, and a shot of whiskey for me."

"Are you old enough?"

'Shit, didn't think of that.'

"Is anyone here old enough?"

"Good point. I'll go get them, oh and my name's Mira!" She yelled the last bit as she left.

"So, her name's Mira, but what about you?" a slightly sexy voice said behind me. I turned, and there was Sting, a light dragon slayer. Wonderful.

"None of your business." I responded in a 'back off' tone.

"Are you sure, and besides I could comfort you."

"On what?"

"Your brother, or have you forgotten about him?"

"Don't go there with me. You have no idea what that would do." I didn't like this.

"I know that, but I really want to, so how 'bout it?"

"Hmmm. Let me think."

"Sure." He gave me a wink.

Just then Mira came back, handing Marco a tall glass with white stuff in it, and me a clear shot glass with some orange yellow liquid. "Hey, Sting, why are harassing this poor girl. I'm sure she has better stuff to do than let you try to flirt."

"Mira, you wound me. Would you fix me? I'm broken."

"Not gonna happen buddy," Dad, I mean Laxus walked over, putting a hand over Mira's shoulders.

"And Sting?" I decided to speak up.

"Yes beautiful?"

"I don't think you're broken, you're just small and limp." I didn't normally use innuendos but at that moment, I couldn't resist as I downed the shot.

He looked shocked as Laxus burst out laughing, Mira smiled wide, and the rest of the guild looked at me with respect and amusement. Natsu yelled out "Burrrrrn!"

Sting looked at him. "You wanna go flame boy?"

"Hell yea!" Natsu replied with a ball of flames straight at us.

Sting dodged that, but not my fist. "Can I join in?"

He sent a burst of light to me. "Sure, but don't get upset when you're in the infirmary." Then did the same thing to Natsu.

Alright, fight on. "Lightning dragon, breakdown fist!" Sting slammed into Natsu, and then got a flaming fist in his gut.

"Fire dragon roar!" Oops. Didn't think he would realize that I had done that. 'Man, I really shouldn't do this.' I thought as flames threw me back towards the stage, while burning the things around me. Have you ever felt like being burned alive? It hurts.

"You bastard! Lightning Dragon Storm Strike!" The attack was a lot like my roar, except it was a small beam of lightning that traveled to my opponent then exploded with the clap of thunder. Natsu got the full force, but Sting was right next to him so they both got blasted. Hey, they wanted a fight.

"Wait," Gray stepped in between us as I ran up. "Lightning Dragon Slayer magic? Only Laxus has that ability and he's a second generation or whatever. How can you do that?"

'Oh shit. If there was ever a time for a memory charm, it would be now.' I thought. But then again, I can't really use anything else, other than requip which still used lightning in most cases. Shit. "Umm, yea. I'm a lightning dragon slayer, that's why my name is Ria. Is that a problem?"

"No, but how'd you learn. No one's ever even heard of a lightning dragon. I haven't, and I'm also a lightning dragon slayer." Laxus walked towards our little group. "So how do you have those powers?"

"Umm, I, uhh." This was not something I could just lie away.

"Well how do you know that magic. . .Laxus?" Star followed.

"I'm a second generation, like Gray said. I had a lacrima with Lightning Dragon Slayer magic put in me by my father. He wanted me to be more powerful." He looked a little resentful at the last bit, I could understand. He had told us as much when we were growing up.

"Oh, well my father was a lightning dragon slayer too, only we think he was a first generation. So that's how I have my magic." It wasn't an exact lie, it was just vague. "But my brother isn't like me, in case you're wondering."

"He isn't? Then what is he?"
"He has transformation magic, but he prefers to not fight. Makarov's only ten." I winced, he was practically helpless against whatever he was going through.

"Speaking about your teamates," Loke appeared beside me. "Amy is doing fine, and should be down soon."

"Oh, were you two busy?" I asked, knowing the answer because Amy wouldn't dare put the moves on Loke, no matter what time we were in. None of my team mates would.

"No, but you and I will be very soon." His eyes told me it wouldn't be the usual with him. But I could act like it would.

"Oh, really? I'm sorry but it was my friend you carried here. Not me, and in any case I don't fall for the whole knight in shining armor thing. It's boring."

He glared, and adjusted his tie. Sexy. "Yea, well I'm not interested that way. I still don't trust you."

'Wrong, you don't trust Phoenix.' I thought, but said "Didn't ask you to. But then again, what reason do you have not to trust me? Hmmm?"

"Oh, other than the fact that you're possessed by an old friend of mine that could just destroy this guild if she wanted? If you let her?" His voice was harsh, but nearly silent. I doubt even the dragon slayers could have heard.

"Okay, let's talk." I pulled him away to the steps leading to the roof. I needed I could jump off and end it. "Why don't you trust me when I say that she's not even here?"

"Because, you can't control her. No one can, even if you traveled in time you couldn't control Phoenix." I winced at the time bit, he didn't know how close I was to kissing him. God this was hard, but he was mostly right.

"I can. You want to know why?"

"Yes!"

"Because she's been with me my whole life." I was nearly screaming now, my voice in agony. "Phoenix possessed me when I was five, and for the first two years we switched back and fourth almost every day! I never had control! Never!"

"Then how are you in control now?"

"I did what she wanted. I did it, without her making me do it! I. . .no, you probably already know."

"I do, and I won't press but what happened."

"It was my seventh birthday, and she gave me a gift in return for. . .it. She gave me my control back. Permanently. Now I only loose it during fights, and then for only a short period of time."

"Are you sure? Because in there, it looked as if you were't all sane." Damn it!

"Well you can probably see why, my brother was taken, best friend injured, and I'm a long way away from my home, but at the same time, I AM ho-"

"You are. . .home?"

"No, I meant to say. . .oh god damn it!"

"What did you mean? Are you from Fairy Tail?" His pleading eyes almost made me say everything. But no, I can't because my brother could be dead and my heart doesn't belong to him. Not this him.

"No. I'm not, and will you stop pressing because I'm bored with our little interrogation. Bye." I watched the light in his eyes dim and finally die as I hardened my heart. Huh, he'd actually thought he could get me to reveal something. To bad.

"Very well then. I hope your friend does well." And he poofed out of existence.


When I emerged back into the hall, I saw that Amy had made it down the stairs and was sitting at a table talking with Gajeel about something, probably their piercings, and I thought 'If the world was perfect then we could tell them what was going on. We could be with our family, and I could save them both. But the world isn't perfect and their both gone. Now get ready because you'll need to kill.'


Sorry for the bad chapter! I know that this was long awaited and all it had was a fight and another Loke talk, but I needed to update. So it sucks.

But we have found out more about Ria! And the others are soon to follow! I promise!

Oh, and by the way, in this universe Lisanna did die, plus Laxus was forgiven for the whole Fantasia thing after the seven year gap.

Bye!
