Chapter 7: Right Choice?

North of Fiore, maximum security prison of the Magic Council, 13 January, 11:54 AM.

.

"Go get used to this lifestyle, people like you deserve to die."

"I understand your logic, madam, however, the soft laws of this Kingdom give me the possibility of keeping myself alive."

"Once our majesty approves the law proposed by our squadron, I will go straight to your head" Krov remained without expression, seeing how the guardian left him in his cell, handcuffed with feet, hands, and neck, with anti-magic materials.

"Compared to this place with the prison of the northern kingdom, the prisons in Fiore seem to a elders retirement." Krov thought calmly. He knew many things about this place and would have four days to achieve his goal.

"All right, worms, time to take your five minutes of sunshine!" shouted an officer by a megaphone. Good time.

Krov came out guarded by his guardian, already knew all about her, Riana Lil, former leader of the White Tiger squadron, who were watching the Dragon cry Weapon, thanks to her stupidity, she lost several of her subordinates when the late minister of Stella, Zash Caine, stole it. He would use that psychological factor in his favor very soon.

"Mix with the same species as you, scum" ok, in the scale of insults, it was a tender one.

"Logic said, go to the loneliest corner and find the main person" Krov slowly advance to a corner of the prison yard, the chains were a nuisance, and with a temperature below the freezing point, it wasn't an option to stop.

"I am going to sit here" Krov whispered, sitting beside his target, looking at the wall.

"Leave me alone" it was the only word his target spoke.

"I stay, I'd like to talk to you, Invel, the old Zeref´s right hand" Invel remained without expression, looking at nothing.

"I'm not interested in talking, leave. "

"Perfect, then just listen, something massive is about to start, and you can choose between being part of the winning side, or be a simple witness. I mean, for someone like you, seeing this kingdom burn should be gratifying" Invel don't react at all, according to the logic, this man wouldn't open his mouth so quickly, unless, crush the old wound.

"You are pathetic, who would say that the great general of Zeref´s forces, sees their army crushed by a group of teenagers with problems about friendship bond, of course, Zeref lost, you are equally as dumb as him."

"Hey, no talking!" shouted a guard, who began to walk to where they were.

"...Shut up..." Invel whisper, a good sign.

"Oh, my apologies, I should have assumed by the logic that you were sensible in speaking of your ridiculous and emo idol, who was defeated by the fairies sermon of love and friendship."

"Shut up" now, Invel raised his voice a little. He was losing patience.

"Hey, I told you to stop talking!" shouted the guard again, more forcefully.

"Disappointment must be unbearable, as someone as powerful as Zeref, he cannot win against his fake little brother, he-" Krov felt a sharp blow to the ribs, Invel had connected a nudge, and looked at him angrily.

"Everything attached to logic." Krov thought, totally calm, rode to Invel, using the chains of their wives to hang him by the neck.

"Hey! I need backup here!" quickly, both were neutralized by multiple guards, and being the center of attention for the other prisoners.

"First day and you fought with someone? You're worse than I thought" Riana greeted him with an annoying look, then look at Invel "a shame, you've always been someone calm, I seem to be wrong with you again. A week in solitary confinement!"

With that order, four guards escorted them down a hallway, heard the whispers of other convicts, making Krov smile. Coming down a long staircase, they came to an underground prison, with an anti-magic metal door, a long corridor, nothing to stand out.

"Hear, Mr. Guard, in this kind of situation, what do you think would happen in a novel?" Krov asked calmly, Invel knew he was planning something.

"Silence!" shouted the guard in his ear. Lucky Krov was already accustomed to the cries of his noise allies.

"Fine, but before you go, you suck in your work," Krov inflated his cheeks, spitting four thorns at the guard´s neck, who fell unconscious almost immediately.

"Now, will you tell me the escape plan?" Invel asked, keeping his neutral expression.

"You are wrong, I would be stupid to use that logic, even with the two of us, it will be a nuisance to deal with so many guards, a second please" Krov take the keys of some of the guards with the teeth, to open their wives" ready, so I can take the copies of the keys "

"How can you use magic when you had handcuffs on?" Invel asks, clearly intrigued.

"Simple, I didn't use it, I hid four thorns of wood with paralyzing liquid behind my tonsils, an easy plan when studying the operation system of this place" explain the wood wizard, while he liberates Invel from his handcuff. Invel had to admit it, feels very well, magic traversing magic by his veins.

"Well? I assume you provoked all the commotion to attract my attention, and being this place reviewed once a day, it's a good place to discuss what you have in mind "Krov way calmly to an empty cell, and then invite Invel to pass, all according to plan.

"I like your logic, Invel, let's go to my cell, I'm sure I can get your fighting spirit and revenge back, with something I like to call, Lotus Revolution."

Refugee Camp, Bosco 13 January 4:23 AM

The environment wasn't at all right, as it would be, after having lived in his flesh such carnage, not even compared to the day after the victory against Alvarez, an empty victory

"Until next time" that phrase, since Romeo heard that phrase until he felt the warmth of Wendy and Chelia hug, had a mental loophole, though he had heard that voice before.

"Well guys, know it sucked, and I appreciate your support, but it's time to go, enough trauma for now" Yuna kicked the door of the house they stay, or what remained of the house. Romeo thought in what state must be Yuna's mind to be so immune to everything that was going on.

"Finally, I started to be depressed. I help to carry Chelia, Oma, can you..." Itona stopped, analyzing the twisted happiness on the gun boy face "on second thought, Ryoko, give me a hand with Wendy."

"Hey!, That was cruel!" Oma makes tantrums, like were a three yeas old kid would. Being serious, between Oma and Yuna, they are competed to be the most demented person in the group.

"Ryoko, are you sure you can carry Wendy? You have still hurt your back" wonder, Romeo. They were all hurt slightly in some specific area. Itona had severe injury both arms, Ryoko hurt her abdomen and back, Himiko hands and jaw were damaged, and Oma's head, more than it was before. He had wounds in his chest bandage. Yuna only had cuts all over her body, so she just wore a minimal bandage.

"I am fine, thanks for your concern, just recovering from dizziness, you also need to rest" Ryoko smile to him, walking to where Yuna indicated, leaving him alone with Himiko, Oma had escaped who knows where to bother someone.

"Listen, Mayou-san, thanks for calm me down a few hours ago, I appreciate it" Romeo really thanked her for those words, but in the same way, he wanted to create a conversation between them, because there was no interaction, so far.

"It was nothing...and please...you can refer to me with my first name...we are not so formal in my homeland" Himiko recharge the side of her body against the wall, with a calm expression, without looking at Romeo.

"Okay, Himiko...hey, your wounds are healing?"

"Yes"

"Uh...a pretty crazy battle a few hours ago, right?"

"I've seen worse."

"...What you and Yuna talk about?"

"Secret"

"...What a colder climate, don't you think?..."

"I like cold weather" ok, officially she didn't want a conversation, with those sharp answers on her part.

"Look, I'll be clear, I'm kinda introverted, I don't like to talk to people, so save your saliva" those were the last words Himiko pronounced, to get lost in her mind. Romeo had never dealt with introverted people before, everyone in the guild was very open, so he didn't know what to do, so he just sighed, and like her, lost in his thoughts.

"Damn, who died?" Yuna used the situation to make a joke, as both were the quietest of the group at this time. Himiko just ignores her, and Romeo looks at her mad.

"Oh, come on, have a little black humor sense...well, get up your asses, we leave" at least something good happened. Romeo expected to get to the guild and receive the least punishment possible and make sure Wendy and Chelia were appropriately treated, walking in a bright area, he saw a device that hadn't seen before.

"Yuna, what is that?" asked Romeo, all the others looked at him strangely, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Hey, I know you don't like...ah, right, you never go out of Fiore, an example you can understand, mhh. Ah, it's like a miniature version of the giant ship that Blue Pegasus has, but this thing only flies" well, he understood, what annoyed Romeo, was the fact that she explained it like he was a baby.

"Is Fiore really so fucked up?"

"The Fiore Kingdom can boast quite a bit of their magical technology, but, in an appearance outside of magic, their arsenal scratches as pathetic" Himiko was the one who answered Oma´s question, who couldn't but laugh at this. Romeo felt isolated, they all had experience outside of Fiore, and looked at him in a very different way, it seems that the more you travel, the more your mind opens.

"Friends, let's go up, it's time, I hope we can visit Bosco when the situation is better," Ryoko said to calm the environment, Oma didn't hesitate to hold her hand, claiming the seat next to the blonde wizard, only to be struck by Himiko´s ax.

"Hey, fire fellow, a lady told me to give you this, is from an old man you met before the attack occurred, said it was his last will" Itona throw a device to Romeo. This time he recognized the item, was a sound player, popularized in Fiore along with the mobile phone, recording music or audio, this only had a file, almost twenty-five minutes.

"You must know Fairy Tail dark side" he remembered those words of the old man, with so many revelations, his brain needed a break, Romeo had homework to work on back home.

When the small aircraft took off, Romeo saw through the window, as the survivors of the camp gathered on a campfire, hugged by the shoulders, as if they were singing something. At that time he did not understand anything, he thought that it was a song to respect the memory of the deceased. However, that was the first contact with the doom of the continent: patriotism.

Magnolia, Fairy Tail Headquarters, 8:16 AM

It was strange, no one remembered the last time the main hall of the guild load with such dark energy, of anguish, an environment that would become quite common with the passing of the months.

"A message from God? Nonsense, leave Asuka free!" Natsu cry, infuriated, running to confront whatever possessed the youngest member of the family, but out of nowhere, Alzack tackles him halfway.

"Let me! Don't you want to get your daughter back?!" Natsu scream, furious.

"Of course I do! But I also want her to be safe!" Alzack answer, with a mixture of anger and despair.

"Natsu, calm down and look at what is going on with Asuka" Natsu did what Laxus asked him, to immediately regret his anger explosion. Around Asuka ´s body, there was a black magic circle, surrounding an area of seventy meters.

"A cursed circle, broken soul, if someone crosses the circle, the Summoner's body will be damaged, gradually, between more close you get to me, worse the harm. Look, son of Igneel, you broke her fingers of her left hand, cruel, but I like it" inside the little body, the angel smiled as showed Asuka´s left hand, her fingers completely broken.

"Damn you," whisper Erza, feeling helplessness for not being able to do anything.

"Ok, we'll listen to your message, just let Asuka go, you have my word we won't do anything to you," Makarov said, using his cane to stand up.

"You think I'm going to trust the word of an old human? You are lying, you are accumulating magic in your right hand, hidden behind your back, if you continue, I will not hesitate to break something more vital" threatened the angel, Makarov cursed in his mind, his plan had failed without even started.

"Master, it's only a messenger, if we hear what he has to tell us, he will let Asuka go, please, master" Bisca begged, already ached to see her daughter possessed, and receiving severe damage. Makarov, choose to let the demon speak.

"I'm glad you have brains, this will be fast" the fallen angel smiled, mimicking the sweet smile that Asuka showed every day.

"Fairies, you have been able to overcome any obstacle, from simple common wizard to the army of the absolute sinner, Zeref Dragneel. Today, I inform you that one of our leaders has chosen to liberate the fallen angels, rejected by the king, to sow the chaos, and as they are the representatives of the light. All of us expect you to give a good game."

While no one fully understood the messages, something they are sure about it, they are evil, another kind of war. The Fallen angel shot dark energy towards Lucy, being blocked by a flurry of light.

"Loki! Capricorn!" the two strongest celestial spirits of the Zodiac used their own magic to save their master and friend from an evil they already knew."

"You broke the seal?" Capricorn asked, to which the fallen angel laugh.

"Partly yes, though I must say that a human helped us to break it, we don't know who did it or the reason" the fallen angel laughed again, then stopped abruptly, to begin to burn in gray flames.

"Asuka! No!" Bisca and Alzack scream, terrified to see their daughter burn. Natsu tried to absorb the flames but didn't work.

"Calm, I will be your beginner enemy, I'll be somewhere in the forest of this town, find and recover this girl, thanks for listening" Asuka's body disappeared in flames. Alzack and Bisca ran to where their daughter was seconds ago and then break in tears.

"Loki, Capricorn, do you know anything?" Lucy asked, for, with the mentioned by both, they seemed to have some information.

"It's something complex, Lucy, we don't even know their origin, we thought it was a legend," said the zodiac leader, visibly worried.

"There are ancient heavenly spirits, who were tainted with unstable magic for unknown reasons, so they had to be sealed by the king of the celestial spirits. Loki is right, we thought it was an old legend, but apparently, it's not only real but also, a human is part of it "the information given by Capricorn was new, even for Lucy, corrupted celestial spirits.

"Can we took like reference the alteration all of the celestial spirits suffered from the eclipse portal, with your alternate versions?" Mirajane asked, trying to comfort the parents, without any success.

"On a smaller scale, but yes" answered the spirit of the goat.

"And can we save them?" Lucy asked, receiving the strange gaze of some members. Loki couldn't help but smile.

"As always, trying to save the spirits, Lucy. The only option that comes into my mind is draining their power, but I'll ask to speak to the king of the celestial spirits for more information" Lucy nodded, thankfully, it didn't matter if this spirit or fallen angles were corrupt, she wanted to help them, just as she did with her friends before.

"Listen up, brats, I want you to pair up and search the forest area when you find her, report it, so all of us could help" Makarov order, getting a blunt yes.

"Wow, and I thought the bad news would be on my side" the whole guild turned to the door, looking at a badly wounded Gajeel, with a mocking smile.

"Gajeel!" Levy ran to help his secret love, he had his left arm broken, and the area of the abdomen with severe wounds. Bad time for Wendy to not be here.

"Take him to the infirmary, Porlyusica is going to kill for making her work harder, but not have another choice. The others go to investigate" the third master saw how most of his kids ran to find Asuka, and the rest was trying to support and comfort Alzack and Bisca. The old man didn't like at all what is happening.

Fiore´s Sky, 10:44 AM

Romeo had to admit, it was nice to see from the sky the various landscapes Fiore offered, from the enchanting forests of the north, the plain of the center, and the valleys of the south, he would enjoy it more without hearing the disaster that was inside. Yuna and Itona don't stop screaming while they compete in a strength contest, listening how Oma is electrocuted by trying to get closer to Ryoko, although the blonde was very tolerant with her friends, that didn't mean she made herself to be respected. Himiko and Romeo were the only quiet passengers. The ax girl slept placidly with a book covering her face, Wendy and Chelia were still unconscious.

"I'm getting bored, you know perfectly well it's not funny if I hold myself" Itona sigh, with a look of annoyance.

"Same here, but I don't want to destroy this shit with us inside, and the high commands would send someone to cut off my head," Yuna answered, in the same mood, looking up at the ceiling, lucky it was only a two-hour trip, about to end.

"I must admit it's very nice to see the scenery, but isn't it dangerous to be at such a low altitude?" Ryoko asked while drinking a bottle of water.

"We avoid the military radars detect us, although Fiore military is limit with this type of technology, that doesn't mean they don't know how to prevent a forgery plane enter into their space" replied the white hair girl, calmly.

"It would be nice...they try to attack" Oma speak with a smile, despite being all burned by the electroshocks given by Ryoko, almost could see his soul coming out of his body.

"Oma is really a sadist," Ryoko thought, trying to find the fun side of the situation, seeing as Oma grabbed Itona´s ankle, giving him an electric touch, which caused Itona to lose concentration, offering an easy victory to Yuna.

"Boom, Win!"

"Not fair! Oma shocked me!"

"Accept defeat, my friend" Romeo yawning, couldn't wait to get into his bed and give himself a deserved rest. Sideways, the Conbolt saw through the window, the Magnolia Cathedral, back home, sweet home.

"Hey Yuna, I see the Cathedral from here, where we're going to land this thing?" seeing Yuna's mocking smile, he knew nothing would end well.

"Who said that we're going to land?"

"Excuse me?" Ryoko also joined to his concern, Yuna approached the front door, knocking four times, and the left side door opened.

"Welcome to Magnolia, the temperature is a nice 40F, we recommend you stay calm and point well at the lake, but we will not stop you if your dream is to be tomato puree, because we don't have devices that stop the fall by budget problems. Hopefully, all of you have enjoyed your trip by airlines your fucking mother, thank you, and we'll be expecting you to return soon" Yuna spoke with her sarcastic and joker tone, while the others, less Oma, looked at her as if she had lost her mind.

"Wait, you said this would leave us in Magnolia" Ryoko try to clarify the matter, although knew she wouldn't like the answer.

"Wrong, this plane would fly above Magnolia, and this is the only stop, of course, you can stay here and return to Bosco, I don't force you. Now, who—".

"Beware below!" Oma run for momentum and jump into the abyss as if was a child's game.

"I like this guy," said Yuna, seeing how Oma fall.

"Yuna, I won't jump, you're crazy" Romeo refused, logically, lucky she already had a plan B.

"Hey, Himiko, wake up the brain and do it already" the crimson-haired girl lifted the book from her face, and then thundered her fingers, and suddenly, the sky duo woke up.

"Ahh, my head" Chelia grumbled, as she stood up.

"What happened?" Wendy was able to stand, dizzy for some reason, however, when she walks backward, Yuna didn't hesitate to put her foot, and boom, Wendy fall.

"Wendy!" Chelia awoke to see her best friend fall, ignoring Yuna´s evil, who kicked her back, caused Chelia also fell.

"Whoa, it's nice to hear the cries of agony in the morning" Yuna simply acted as she had stepped on a cockroach, didn't care.

"Fuck you!" by instinct, Romeo jumps to save them, not without grabbing Yuna´s left arm, she didn't know he would do that, so both fell into the void.

"I admit, that was a good one by Romeo, it has been a while since I saw Yuna take by suprise" Itona speak while taking the skateboards used before, plus other things "ladies first."

"You already knew this?!" Ryoko cried, annoyed that he hadn't, at least warned her before.

"Yep, at the end of the day, I take care that no one dies for this, relax, leave it to me" answered the earth wizard calmly. Ryoko sighed, looking at the emptiness, while Himiko seemed not to mind the jump at all.

"Do you mind if we hold hands?" Himiko look at her sideways, meditate for a moment, to offer her right hand "thanks Himiko-chan, on three, one—Ahhh" Himiko merely jump, ignoring the count

Itona looks at them with empathy, who would say Ryoko scream could sound so cute, he threw the tables in the void.

"Thanks for the trip, bro."

"Enjoy some peace, you piece of shit!" answered the pilot behind the door, Itona take air, and jump.

Itona placed his body vertically, to increase his speed, and to be ahead of others, once done this part, lifted with his magic, a large ramp of land on the side of the lake, and then pull with a thread, the skateboards.

"Listen up friends, we have only three skateboards, and we are eight imbeciles, Itona, and I will go in one, Romeo and his girlfriends will be in another. Oma! Take advantage of the situation, and be closer to Ryoko! I'll see you downstairs!" scream Yuna, barely audible by the wind hitting on everyone's faces.

Yuna and Itona had no problem putting themselves in position, Oma seemed to have no problem also, happy about the situation, and no one could blame him, having Ryoko hug you from behind with strength and have the adorable Himiko ahead, any man would felt envy. With Romeo, well, let's say they looked like they were playing to tangle their bodies in the air, but they also succeeded, almost.

The skateboards supported the ground impact thanks to the ramp, Itona deactivates the energy all the skates, by which the three surfed in the cold lake, Itona stopped his board on the lakeside.

"That was worth the damn trip!"

"You are crazy as fuck, Yuna, that's why I love being with you, give me five" they both did the greeting, right away, Oma and the girls arrive.

"Again! Again! Again! "Oma was screaming like a little boy coming down from a roller coaster.

"I can't believe he is like this" Ryoko said, with some grief toward the gunman.

"You get used to it," Himiko replied, both looking at Oma. By reflex, Himiko pushed Ryoko, and before she could ask the reason, Romeo, Chelia, and Wendy flew out with the plank against bushes, passing where the blonde was a few seconds ago "you are welcome."

"Geez, hope I can remember your faces for what I have left of life," Yuna mocking about the situation.

"That wasn't right!" Wendy and Chelia cried, clearly furious with Yuna. Romeo cursed her internally. Sadly he was beginning to accustom himself to this kind of situation.

"Relax girls, don't look at me like that, it was fun" the grudge of both Slayers by Yuna increase drastically after this event.

"Look, it wasn't funny Yuna, but at least we came home," Romeo said, clearly annoyed, but he was in no mood to argue.

"See? Always see the positive side of things" the sky duo command to Itona with a simple glace, never disturb an angry woman. Both Slayers heard a noise, when they moved a bush, saw a baby bird, the poor baby must have fallen from his nest after they were miss. Wendy doesn't doubt in curing the animal, and Chelia it back to his nest.

"They should measure the consequences of their actions, affect others indirectly," complained Chelia, coming down from the tree.

"Chelia, they are no longer here" Wendy pointed to the area where Romeo and the others should be, which was empty.

"Dang it, it must have been Yuna's work, let's go for her."

"Wait a minute Chelia, I think we need to inform the guild of our return, probably are looking for us, then we will go for the white bitch" Chelia couldn't avoid gasped, this was new on Wendy.

"What? Chelia, I'm not a child anymore, and I'm sure you think the same as I do about her" well, she couldn't argue with Wendy's logic.

"Fine, but be careful to say those words with Charle, she would blame me for you sudden rudeness. We'll go to the guild, report the dark guild we found, and look for Romeo, to save him from that psychopath" the sky duo ran forest inside, back to the guild. They didn't know the group had not moved. They were only invisible thanks to camouflage magic.

"Affect other people? Said it by someone who comes from disastrous guilds, are the last ones who have the right to speak of moral" Yuna held Romeo with her right arm so that he will not scream or escape, while with her left hand, made the gesture of silence. Once felt Wendy and Chelia presence gone from the area, Yuna let Romeo go.

"Before you yell at me, I'm sorry, but before you can go to bed, we have to discuss something else, and yes, I made Himiko alter their memoirs, be patient" with her earnest voice, now the Conbolt could take Yuna seriously. He could already guess the reasons why she altered the memories of Wendy and Chelia.

"Yuna, I didn't know you were capable of using camouflage magic."

"It wasn't her. I did it" a grave voice was heard from behind the group, all recognized this person, was the one who fought with Himiko in Carpi."

"Oh, it's the dog man, you look more menacingly up close," Itona said, the presence of this guy imposed respect.

"I introduce myself. My name is Jing, a former assassin of the Kingdom of Enca. I am currently the master and partner of Himiko Mayou, who asked me to help you" Jing presented himself formally

"Himiko, why did you ask for help?" asked the thunder wizard, however, Yuna was the one who answered.

"Himiko and I made deals in the morning, so be quiet, let us explain" maybe this could be the opportunity that Romeo sought to get answers.

Ut Mountains, east of Fiore, 5:01 PM

"Girls, this storm is getting very violent."

"Calm down Beth. We already take care of the bad guys. Once we check the people of this last town are in stable conditions, we returned to the hotel" Beth concentrated on heating her hands with friction, didn't understand why there were people who built their homes in places so remote or excluded, it wasn't the kind of missions she would like to do this season.

"What a dull mission, I don't understand the reason the kingdom suddenly worries so much about these dark guilds, I don't get it" Beth listened as Araña complained about the mission.

The mission of Mermaid Heel was straightforward, go to investigate the villages around the Ut Mountains, the regional capital have problems to make a communication with them, beginning to be suspicious. Most logically, it was to think the snowstorms hobbled communication, but magic devices should never fail, even these conditions.

The master didn't have a good spine, so summon the old team that participated in the Grand Magic Games of X791 to check the area. All but Kagura were quickly send here, for the strongest wizard in the Guild was in the midst of an S class mission, leaving Millianna as the team leader for this occasion, accompanied by Beth, Araña, and Risley. They had no problem defeating a small band of dark wizards down caliber.

"And here it is, welcomes to Tük, known for their warm reception, I hope so, I would like a hot chocolate" Risley commented, reading the welcome sign of the town, with a little irony on her voice.

"What a deteriorated town" Araña whisper, just old wooden houses, and a cathedral, nothing more.

"Hello?! I'm Millianna from Mermaid Heel Guild! We come from the part of the kingdom to check that everything is good here! "cried the cat fanatic, but no one answered the call, only the sound of the icy blizzard.

"I doubt someone will come out in the middle of the storm, we knock the door of a house, we ask the owners to let us stay until the storm goes down, and we talk to the mayor here," suggested Risley. None knew in what house the mayor of the village lives, all opted to walk to the first house to ask. Beth, in the background, heard a deep cry, came from the center, from the cathedral. When she focused on the view, saw a small figure sitting on the stairs, covering his body with a simple blanket.

"Hey! There's a kid out there!" shouted the teenager from the group, calling the others, Beth ran to help the person, is a blond-haired boy, he didn't even seem to reach the ten-year-old, shivering with cold

"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Beth asked with a sweet tone, trying not to scare the kid more.

"I have...fear...reveal myself" this child could barely speak, the cold was too much for his little body.

"Poor child, let me help you" Millianna took off her coat to give it to the kid, who immediately hugged it.

"This is inhuman, what kind of parents leave their child out in the middle of a storm?" If something Araña couldn't tolerate, it was to see as stupid parents abandon their children as if they were toxic garbage.

"I'm afraid. My parents neglected me...I want to reveal...but...I am weak" the words of the child broke the wizard's heart. This child should have suffered a lot. Beth didn't hesitate to hug him.

"You're very brave, it may be scary, but if you have people who can help you, sure will make your parents see the colossal mistake of leaving you here" Millianna smiled, there was no doubt, Beth had something special for kids, as for her passion for agriculture.

"Ok, we'll go talk to your parents, can you tell us where you live?" The child timidly pointed to a house at the bottom of the village. Those poor people didn't know what awaited them.

"Come on," Beth offer her hand so that he wouldn't feel alone, after all, they were strangers to him.

"It won't slow us down, will it?" Araña asked with doubt. It was not that she doesn't care for the kid situation, only the cold already annoyed her.

"No, let's hope after the scolded, they let us stay at their home, and then we will go back" replied the Millianna with confidence.

"I'm hungry. Hey, Beth! What do you have in mind for dinner?" Risley flipped, but her smile faded when she saw her young friend, standing, looking at nothing.

"Come on Beth. You've overcome your fear of ghosts time ago, is not..." Millianna´s words died when she saw Beth coughing up blood. The innocent boy had stabbed her from behind with a knife.

"Thank you for giving me courage, sister" The little boy smiled, showing a small hole where his last teeth would come out.

"What...are you...doing?" Beth whispered.

"Making you feel a bit of my pain when the kingdom killed my family. Now!" with all his might, the little man pushed Beth's body, before Millianna and the others could act, a bright light blinded them, they only heard a white sound. When they recovered the vision, a scene of horror. Beth, lying on the ground, with dozens of little arrows piercing her body.

"I did it! Sister Ruih, I did it!"

"I am proud of you Max. You are the hero" on the roof of the Catedral. There was a woman hidden in a black cloak, being hugged by the little Max.

"Beth!" Millianna ran as faster as she could, not again, she didn't want another friend to be murder.

"Screw you! What is your stupid dark guild wants!?" Risley screams with tears coming out of her eyes by helplessness.

"There is where you are wrong!" a loud voice was heard over the town, at the same time an ice barrier appears, separates Millianna from the rest of the group.

"What!?"

"You see my comrades! There is proof you can do it. You don't need to have magic to kill a wizard of the kingdom! Together, we can make our dreams of a new nation possible!" the young lady scream from the roof, from the houses, people of all ages came out, armed with bows, swords, and pistols, starting with hatred at Mermaid Heel's wizards.

"They have brainwashed these people," Araña said, surprised by the situation.

"Don't be foolish! They're manipulating all of you!" Risley scream, in a desperate attempt to try to regain the sanity of the people.

"You see it! They call you fools after what they've done. So many years of injustices are over now, my people, what should we do with these ravens of the kingdom!?"

"Butcher them!" a unanimous answer of the people.

"Shit, I need to save Beth now!" ignoring the fuss, Millianna ran to rescue Beth, for her moans of pain, she knew Beth was alive. But before she got to her, one shot forced her to go back.

"Not so fast, kitten, first you kill me before getting to her" from the origin of the explosion, was stand a light blue-haired girl, holding a Bo made of water, with look cold look.

"It's your chance to prove yourself, rookie. I'll be with this girl until she goes to hell. Give the best, baby Torah. "

"Stop calling me like that!" Torah cried, with childish anger, while the young lady laughed, side to Beth's body, holding a bottle of wine.

"You'll pay, you bitches!" Millianna takes off her gloves, exposing her long cat nails, run to attack the girl name Torah, who only limited to dodge her attacks, but with a little difficulty.

"If you plan to kill me to scratch, think better cat" Torah blocks with her Bo the attack of the member of Mermaid Heel, leaving a massive opening in the area of the stomach, giving a kick to move away Millianna a few meters.

"That's the best you've to offer?" Torah smiled confidently, placing her weapon behind her body.

"Don't underestimate me. Nekōsoku Tube!" a circle magicaAppeared in front of Millianna, came to a magic rope trying to grab Torah, who jumps to her left side to dodge the rope.

"Hey, Torah, if that rope catches you, you're fucked."

"I imagine it, now shut your mouth Ruih!" Torah said with annoyance, as she ran around Millianna, turned, and creating a razor-water, cut the rope.

"That was a demonstration. Kitten Blast!" now from the magic circle, more magic ropes came out, forcing Torah to cut the rope with her water weapons.

"You need more than that. Water Bullets!" Torah pointed the Bo to Millianna, and as a fire weapon, shot at the head of the legal wizard. However, could barely get a scratch on her right cheek "shit, my aim is still failing "thought the water wizard, frustrated.

"Now!" a faint cry can be heard. Suddenly, some herbs caught Torah's feet.

"What?!" the distraction was well exploited by Millianna, who caught Torah in her magic ropes, disabling Torah´s water magic, so her weapons disintegrate as well "fuck."

"Rule number four Torah, you should always take into account the enemies until you are sure that they are dead" Ruih speak, watching as Beth, with the last forces, invoke her magic to help her friend, even in these conditions.

"I thought you'd finished her off!" Torah complains at her, to which Ruih simply lifted her shoulders, in clear sign she doesn't care.

"Beth!" blinded by the need to help her dying friend, Millianna sprinted to where she was, as well the ally of the enemy, without meditating before. In a flash, Mermaid Heel's wizard saw Ruih was no longer in her original position, she disappears? Error.

"Very slow" in the next flicker, saw as a knee approaching her face, receiving direct impact, which sent Millianna upward.

"A mistake and you pay with life" behind her, it was Torah, with the cold look, free of the ropes, for the spell was cancelled with Ruih´s attack, ready to kill Millianna, yet, her mind doubted a second, so, instead of cutting a vital point with her water knife, just nipping both hands.

"You're still very soft" Ruih plug a kick in the back of Millianna, sending her straight to a ravine, where her body vanished between blizzard and darkness.

"Sorry, it still costs me" Torah apologize, ashamed of still having trouble with the final blow. Ruih laugh.

"Don't worry, for a baby like you, it is normal, you need to learn from me, the best one of this group. Besides, we had to leave a survivor to send the message. You know that the ´Emperor Ice´ doesn't work his brain when he is fighting" Ruih said in a mocking tone, looking at the ice barrier, without hearing any sound behind it, of sure Wave, done the job.

Minutes before: Araña and Risley vs. Wave

"Hell, this wall is hard!" Araña was frustrated when she couldn't break the ice barrier, trying to know if Beth and Millianna are okay.

Hurry! I'm getting tired of deflecting arrow and bullets" Risley respond, covering her friend's back, using her gravity magic to avoid the projectiles that people threw at them.

"Why don't we take care of them?" Araña asked.

"I'd prove those madmen are right about us. We can never hurt civilians," Risley responded.

"How kind of you, but it's too late" the villager's attacks stopped when he approached, raising his hand.

"Wave, our leader, you can do it!" cried an old woman.

"Let me take care of these puppets, allow me to pay your hospitality with this," the young man said, with one hand in the pocket of his red jacket, while the other hand held his weapon, a big ice pick.

"So we have to defeat you to pass this thing, fine by me," Araña said, preparing to fight.

"A pity, you are an attractive man" also Risley commented, concentrating her magic.

"The Good guys? I'm part of the good side, you're a part of the bad side, but it doesn't matter. Before starting this, could you give me your names?" asks the young man, while his face start to get covered in small pieces of ice

"Araña Web. Proudly Mermaid Heel member."

"My name is Risley Law. Remember the name of the girl who kicked your butt."

"I am Wave Hyozan, a pleasure to fight against both you."

One minute, only took sixty according to Wave to end up with two of the best Mermaid Heel Guild wizards, Araña´s nets and the augmented gravity of Risley were able to stop his willingness to help others. The young ice wizard destroyed the barrier, seeing a distressed Torah, with wounds on her wrists, and Ruih, looking at him with a smile.

"I'm glad Torah couldn't kill the cat woman, the boss would be angry if we didn't send a survivor back to her guild," Ruih said, happy to have a little fun, although her work has been merely supervising.

"You and I have to train more, Torah" Torah nodded at Wave's comment, she knew with more capable enemies, and with better emotional control, her battle would have been more complicated.

The Ice wizard looked at Beth's body, who was still breathing, looking at him with horror, and couldn't blame her, carrying his ice pick on his shoulder, piercing Araña's chest, while in the background, saw Risley face down, with a cut in the throat, both dead. He looks a Ruih, who knows what he was thinking.

"You read my mind Ice Cream, Torah, do the honors for us" Ruih order, giving the water wizard the opportunity to reclaim her mistake, toppling Beth, before the people's shout of jubilation, encouraged her to do it. Torah breathed deep and began to walk to Beth, slowly, creating a new water Bo, only this time, the tip was sharp.

"...No... " Beth tried to stand up and run away, but her body was severely hurt, barely able to lift her body a few centimeters before falling back into the cold snow.

"I'm sorry, it hurts to see someone so young to suffer, but relax, I will put an end to your misery now" Torah´s voice turned cold, like her eyes, looking at her victim.

"No!...please don't do it...No!" Torah put an end to her existence and misery, stabbing Beth Vanderwood´s throat. Beth reviewed her short life, and her frustrated dreams, make the master proud at her, do a mission with Kagura, go back to her village to see her family, create her farm, spend more time with friends, Wendy, Chelia, Romeo, and many more, why is life so unfair to Beth? That was her last thought in life.

"Wish in the afterlife, when we cross paths again, we are on the same side" Torah whisper, pulling out her weapon from the neck of Beth, then looking back, and raising her hand, in a victory pose, the people burst into happiness, while Wave and Ruih smile proudly

Magnolia, House of the family Conbolt, 8:27 PM

Romeo had awakened from his short nap, never thought, in his short life, that he would miss his bed so much, even if it were only a couple of days in which he was absent, the quietness of room calmed him.

"¿It's this power worth it?" Thought the young Conbolt, looking out of the window, a cloudy night, while he lost himself in the memories of the talk.

Flashback eight hours before

"Power ranges?" asked Ryoko, the Beast man with doubt. After a quick presentation of Jing and the others, they began to talk about what was separating the future in the short term, and how they should prepare for it.

"Yes, it's a statistical scale to measure the skill of a magician, it is divided into four categories, magic, physical force, mentality, and spirit, with the numbers summed up, we can give an estimated total of the power base of a magician" explain Jing calmly, knew only his master Himiko was aware of this measurement.

"Do you have to rely so much on simple statistics? In a fight, any limit can be broken" Itona argument, it was a very valid point.

"You are right, young Itona, a base state is calculated, some articles can measure an increase in power in different scenarios, but they are rare to find. At least this will give you knowledge of your abilities" Jing threw each one a white stone necklace.

"I ask you to put it around your neck, it will take you a full day to estimate your base power, and with this information, you know in what you should focus on your training these weeks."

"Training?" Now it was Romeo's turn to ask.

"You see, leech, what we're going to do at Bosco is nothing compared of what Fairy Tail do, we will not jump to attack like crazy in frontlines, that strategy may work for some miracle against Alvarez, doesn't mean to apply in our case" Yuna explains, who threw stones at the lake to see how many times bounced.

"Ladt Yuna is right, I have seen from afar your performance during last night attack, and I can say you are a very varied group, which can be very good if you train well" Jing explained. Himiko diverted the look to where Oma was. Something had to be happening so he wouldn't be mad with Jing for not fighting him.

"Can you explain with a little more detail? Please" Ryoko asked, in an educated manner.

"I'll make it short, in this group, three of you handle primary magic, that means, tied to the five natural elements, and the rest are secondary magic, a union of one or more natural elements" it was pretty obvious who belonged to what side, Romeo, Ryoko, and Itona were primary, while Yuna, Oma, and Himiko were secondary. Jing continues to explain.

"Based on what I saw last night, Oma is the only one with a long-range fighting style. It is great marksmanship and firearms handling. Itona and Himiko are the opposite, short-range fighting style. Do more damage when they have the enemy in front. Ryoko and Yuna have a short range in the same way but could improve in mid-range attacks, increasing their danger" Jing stopped, to look at Romeo.

"You, young Romeo, don't have a definite fighting style yet so that I will locate you in mid-range, but you must also work on the control of your fourth origin, never lost control, or pay the consequences."

"Wait, you know what happened to me last night?!" Romeo asked, a little desperate for answers.

"Simple, the fourth origin is linked more to the user´s emotions, during the first activation, the user faces with his stronger negative emotion. Unfortunately, the cost of this power, is the negative emotions are more sensitive and can cause your mind to broken" Romeo understood it, that explained the dizziness of the first hour since Yuna activated him power, plus his encounter with his young self, represented his fear and weakness, which meant that last night, a very negative emotion dominated him.

"I will explain to you in a personalized way when I have the results of the necklaces. Sure you are tired for the trip, go to rest, see you here tomorrow when the sun is at is the peak, good night" Jing disappeared surrounded by a blue smoke, leaving the group alone.

"Oma, where are you going?" Ryoko asked, who also noticed the sudden change of attitude in Oma, who walk to the forest.

"To enjoy the night" Oma replied without turning to see her, with a dull voice.

"For sure he wants time alone, just like the rest of us, we need time to think, don't lost the necklace or be late tomorrow, unless you want to wake up with bird shit around you, bye" Yuna walk over the lake, leaving, just like the rest, all took their way, and Romeo go back home,

End of the Flashback

Romeo return to the real world when noticed someone is throwing stones at the window, Itona.

"What?...hey, don't keep throwing stones at my face!" when Romeo opened the window, receive hit by a stone in his face.

"Sorry fire fellow, but you need to go down, it seems things around here also are bad," Itona said, in a relaxed voice.

"What happens?" asked the fire rainbow wizard, jumping from the window of his room, to be next to Itona.

"I was going to the guild to see what happened, but I heard from a new member, something possessed Asuka, said it was a fallen angel, or something similar, and almost all the guide are looking for her" the news fell like cold water to Romeo, to him, Asuka was like a younger sister, since he saw her born.

"What else do you know?!" Romeo took Itona from the shirt.

"Don't spit on me, and just know she is in this forest, playing hide and seek, I couldn't find the girls or Oma, and as I knew where you lived, think we should team up to rescue the little girl" Itona reiterated Romeo's hands of his clothes, as he moved away a little.

Romeo's response was immediate, running forest inside, now he understood why his father had not returned to the home early, or to receive a visit from Wendy or Chelia, save Asuka, he would help, this time for sure.

"I like his energy," Itona thought, running to reach him. But didn't know, someone had already found her, in the midst of a valley, face to face with the fallen angel.

"Wow, you know how to play this boy," said the fallen angel, mocking, while his opponent was silent.

"Nothing? That is boring, wait, that mark on your guns, don't tell me..."

"Yes, I am part of the sinful family, the only one left, but no matter know" from the shadows, comes out Oma Naito, with a mocking smile, pointing his guns at Asuka's head.

"I only care to hunt you, in the name of the Holy Death, no matter whether you fall so low as possess a little girl, let the hunt begin."

Given Oma's motivation, and without caring that he has to kill a little girl, to collect another fallen angel, becomes a career for the time for Romeo and Fairy Tail, if they don't arrive on time, the fate of poor Asuka Connell would be sealed, and would not have a pretty death.
