Hello everyone! Back with another Adventures of Fairy Hunters. Last time; Gon, Leorio, Kurapika and Killua has join the fray to the Hunter Exam. Also, Grace, also called Sennosuke, has made a new rivalry with Hisoka the Magician. Team Natsu also met the ninja, Hanzo. Sennosuke explained to Erza and Gray that Tompa is leading the group into a trap. This time, will they survive the sweet trap, or will it be the end of Team Natsu and the others. Find out… now.
Erza's POV
I can't believe what I just heard from Grace. But… in more ways than one, I actually have to agree with her. Like how I had to face the one that I loved and cared about, then suddenly has been turned evil and deranged. In order for people to forget their past, they need to look into the future. So… the question is… will we go with them? Even though that… fat… took… whatever his name is, is leading them to a trap.
Well of course, Grace knows what will happen next because of the world she lived in. A world where ours in nothing but a T.V. show. But I'm still curious on how someone from our world would come to hers. Maybe from some sort of magic in some way. Or maybe someone dreamt about it. Either way, I should just follow her lead. Though she may be a knucklehead, she has the qualities to be a leader. I should tell her something.
'Grace… though somethings you say can be a bit ridiculous, I still trust you. OK?' I thought out to her.
I carefully observe her for a moment. She gave me a smile. 'Thank you Erza… I trust you too.'
"Hey." Huh? Oh, that was Natsu. He's looking at that boy from earlier. What is he thinking exactly? "Maybe we should come along with you too."
Hm…? What is he thinking? We just met them… but that's how we go… We're Fairy Tail wizards, and no matter how long you meet us, we're always be there for someone in need. Right?
I saw the other blonde come up… wow. Sort of looks like a sibling of Lucy's… or is it a she?
(Me: Ha! I told you, you look like a girl!
Kurapika: Oh shut up! That's one little mistake! You don't know that!
Me: Just… watch… X3)
I wonder what's going on with him/her. "Listen… we just met and all, but how come you're concern for our friends? We don't even know you guys. So would it be logical to just go?"
Huh? Why doesn't he want us here? Yeah, we are strangers to each other, but didn't we just met that fatty and the silver haired boy back there? I wonder… who does he remind me of?
"Yeah!" Of course Gray has to join as well. Geez, aren't they just knuckleheads all of the time. "We're from Fairy Tail." WHAT THE HELL GRAY?! "And even though we meet someone just a few seconds ago, we kind of consider them our friends."
Grace's POV
Holy shit Gray, if you even say anything about us being wizards… including Natsu, you are so dead! But maybe he's also concern on how they'll face their past mistakes. Some don't even want to witness it, but in a way, you do if you want to continue in the future. So Gray… don't fuck things up, ok?
About a few minutes later, all of us are running towards that tunnel where the disgusting sap it at. It just… it just gets my blood boiling over here because how annoying and how they're face their past like immature kids! I mean, c'mon! If people who don't let go of their past can't live in the future. It's basically common sense here. But what do I know?
Oh… dammit. I see him… Tompa. "Oh… it's you." He stuttered in a fake panic state. I just want to crush him with my bare hands, but I can't because he's important in the storyline, so it can't be helped. "Hurry… they need your help!"
We looked to the direction he's pointing at and face him again. Soon, Kurapika asked, "What happen back there?"
"Um…" I heard Lucy stuttered in true panic. "Can I stay here with Tompa? It seems safer here."
"NO!" Erza and I shouted at her. Though she might be a wimp at some times, she can be a very brave girl.
"I… it was a trap… the worse I seen… hurry…" I know that once this Exam is over, I am so giving that pig a beating of his life. But that shouldn't be of our concern now, we have to watch out for these guys… or else bad things would happen. We ran into the tunnel, and I heard him laugh evilly… I would never…
As I ran to the end, and as soon as you knew it, it was Nicolas. Lying there from the effects from the sap. Tears and snot streamed down his face as he laughs insanely. We saw him get up and walked away, out of the tunnel. Soon, I heard Kurapika say, "Let's go, we gotta find Leorio."
"Right," Everyone agreed. I heard Leorio scream… here goes nothing.
Eve's POV
What was that?! Was that Leorio? Huh…? That other blonde stopped… What's happening to him… her…?
(Me: *Troll face grin* … See…? What did I tell you…?
Kurapika: ON WITH THE STORY!)
"Hey…" I heard Lucy said. "Is there anything wrong?"
What the… his eyes… they're… they're… now strange… what happened to him…?
Huh…? What are those…. They seem like wooden swords…. He crossed them as if he's going to fight someone. "The P
"Kurapika?" The boy said. So that's what his name is… well… it sounds masculine, so I assume he's a boy.
"Phantom Troupe…? Who are they?" Lucy asked again, but this time in panic. "HUH?!"
What the… his eyes… are red!
"Oh no… please don't do it!" Then he fell to the ground.
Wait a minute… Grace knows what will happen next… and she doesn't seem phased at all. Did she know this would happen? "Sennosuke…?" I said to her. "Do you know what's happening?"
"I'm sorry…" She… said… what does she mean by that? "I knew what this smell was."
"What do you mean?" The boy asked this time.
She gave an apologetic look on her face. Grace does know what's happening. But why in the world wouldn't she stop it…?
… her voice… sounds… different… "I didn't want to tell you anything yet. But I guess I should now."
Natsu then asked Grace, "Sennosuke… what in the world are you talking about? Is there a reason why he's acting this way?" She then looked down on the ground with a pitiful look.
"I actually intended to stay here to find Leorio. Once we entered this cave, I know this…. This sap…" Sap? She mean the Sap of the Healing Cedar. "This certain sap… there is no sap of the Healing Cedar Tree. This sap came from the Tree of Hallucination."
"S-sap… of… Halucination…?" Lucy stuttered. I don't blame her… I'm also starting to feel panicked as well. "What in the world is that?"
"This sap," she started, "has the ability to make anyone witness the worse event of your life. For example… the loss of your child, being abused by your family, and even the witness of you friends and family massacre."
Is she serious?! NO way she is… she's supposed to know this would happened. How come she didn't tell us now onto this point?! I guess we should've been affected by now, but I guess it's because of our Magic, but still… endanger us by being here…. Why?
The boy looked concern about this Kurapika fellow. I don't blame him… he must be witnessing something he doesn't want to see again. "Then how can we snap him out of it?"
She shook her head. Why? "All must one day forget about our past to move onto the future."
Erza agreed with her… I understand her completely… she saw how one of her best friends been taken in the Magic Council. Now I don't know what to think now. I wish I knew the details, but Fairy Tail won't abandon their friends over a monster. That's how they roll around the place.
Miss Scarlet then said to them, "Trust me… it's not easy to forget ones past, but right now, he has to realize… that you… what's your name?"
"Oh! I'm Gon!" He answered. Oh… Gon…
She nodded her head. "Ok… Kurapika has to realize that you, Gon, will be there for him. I learned that the hard way that sometimes you have to rely on your friends… am I right Natsu?" She looked to the Fire Dragon Slayer.
His eyes widen and then smiled. I see now… But that made me even more curious on what happened with Jellal, Erza and the others.
Gon soon picked Kurapika up and carried him on his shoulders. "Ok… let's hope he find out soon, alright?"
We all nodded and continued onto the path ahead.
hantom Troupe…"
No one's POV
They kept running for a few minutes, the Kuruta soon began to struggle on the younger boy's shoulder. Grunting and reaching out in the air. "Kurapika…" He wondered, but then his eyes widen, "Kurapika!" Gon shouted. He then fell onto the ground.
"You alright, kid?" The pink hair Dragon Slayer asked.
Lucy soon panicked, "Oh no, what should we do?!"
"Hang in there!" Scarlet shouted.
Then, the silver haired boy skated up to them and kicked the blonde, plummeting to the ground again. He soon opened his eyes to see he was back to normal.
Everyone was concern for the fallen Kuruta and made sure he's alright. "Kurapika?"
"But… uh…" Gon trailed off.
He soon said in his monotone voice. "There is no Healing Cedar Tree."
"Yeah, Sennosuke explained to us that this sap actually came from the tree of Halu I what's it Tree." Natsu explained.
"Tree of Hallucination," The other Fairy Tail and single Blue Pegasus people said.
Soon, 'Sennosuke' saw something and replied to the Ice-Make Wizard, "Gray, your clothing."
"AH SHIT!"
"Then Tompa must have-" Kurapika trailed.
Killua finished, "yeah, he set you guys up."
The blonde soon growled at himself for not noticing it beforehand so none of this could've happened in the first place. Soon, out of nowhere, Erza punched Kurapika directly in the face. Everyone was shocked and their mouths gaped a bit on what happened.
"Personally…" She said to the group, "He should've stayed in that state until he actually learned something!"
The two twelve year olds and older blondes, other than Lucy, were wondering why in the world would she say that type of thing when their friends. They thought she was crazy until Gon realized what she meant… it's what Sennosuke and Erza said earlier… friends that will stick together… Fairy Tail looked at her with sorrow and pain.
"What the hell are you talking about? If he stayed any longer, he would've gone insane!" Killua tried to reason with the red headed girl.
"Then you don't understand what I'm trying to say!" Erza shot back, head away from the assassin. Killua wanted to strangle her for that, but then she turned to the direction where Leorio might be at. "We don't have that much time left, so we have to act fast."
Everyone soon followed her other than the silver haired boy and the blonde that's lying on the earth. They were really confused on what she meant by that. They literally had to follow them, because they were almost out of sight.
Before they continued, Killua then said, "Hey, then why don't we use this." He then took a small container with a button. "It's a bomb, small, but effective."
"That's a bomb?" Lucy and Gon asked in unison.
"Let's blow up these wall and the disgusting sap covering it." He soon clicked on it and threw it far away as possible. Then…
KAAAABOOOOOM!
They all went forward and caught Leorio while going. "It worked." Kurapika said when he looked back from the explosion. "Not the easiest way to travel, but it is fast. I guess there's no turning back now." Soon, an older guy looked around to see he's not where wherever his mind was. "You were hallucinating from inhaling the sap. Tompa fooled us all."
He soon muttered to himself something only Natsu and Grace heard. "Looks like I owe all of you guys for saving my butt. But how did you manage to avoid it?"
Kurapika smiled, "It was a close call for me."
"I was fine, and so were the others as well." Gon said to him.
"I guess it doesn't work on you because you're a kid." Leorio said to him. "But how did you manage to avoid it as well?" He asked, looking at the wizards."
They looked at each other and thought to themselves, but nothing came across their heads. The shrugged, meaning that they don't know.
"Hey old man, we don't have time to sit around and chat." Leorio growled at that remark. "Ready for the next round?"
Soon, everyone curled into a ball, covered their ears, and readied themselves for the explosion while Leorio is standing there like an idiot. "THEY'RE BOMBS!?"
Time skip because I'm lazy…
Everyone soon headed out to see that they're now in a different situation now.
