Chapter 8
The Fiore Alliance woke the next day with caution. Since the Balam Alliance were after the last orb, the team knew that they could strike at anytime. Thus, throughout the day, teams took turns patrolling the council and surrounding city, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. The remainder of the Alliance were inside, searching through old files and books, hoping to find anything related to Zeref and the "elemental orbs" as Natsu began to call them. However, everyone was having trouble finding anything, which wasn't surprising, as Racer said they'd been there for 400 years.
"Awww, this is taking forever." Natsu moaned as he put down his tenth book. "Can't we just find the Balam Alliance and beat them up?"
"As much as I hate to say it, Ash Brains is right." Gray muttered.
"What did you call me, stripper?" Natsu shot back. For the third time that day, Natsu and Gray began fighting, but even Erza was too focused to bother putting a stop to it.
"I think I found something." Gajeel said loudly. Everyone stopped to face him. "Its not much, but its says, "Zeref decided that extreme power was needed to help him achieve his goal. Thus, he began creating. Monster after monster, demon after demon, his creations each became more powerful. But, even the creatures Lullaby and Deliora were not enough to help him. But Zeref was persistent, believing he could finish his work. So, he started to work on seven, terrifying beasts." And that's all it says, the rest of the pages are gone."
"Hmmm, Jackal must've taken them after he killed the council." Erza said thoughtfully. "The only question is, what's Zeref's goal?" Everyone looked at each other, hoping someone would come up with an answer.
"Are we sure that these beasts have anything to do with the orbs?" Natsu asked, mid punch.
"Seven beasts and seven orbs, each orb relating to one of the seven elements, and seven people possess that element... A lot of sevens huh." Levy said slowly.
"Wait." Sting turned to Gajeel, Wendy, Rouge and Natsu. "Didn't our dragons disappear on the seventh day of the seventh month?"
"The year seven hundred and seventy seven." Rogue finished.
"Natsu, Team Tenrou vanished for seven years, didn't we?" Wendy asked slowly.
"AHHH, my head hurts! What's with all the sevens?" Natsu snapped. Everyone went quiet again.
Meanwhile, in the room underneath the council, Master Makarov and Yajima were sitting in front of the Poison Orb, concentrating. As if on queue, a blinding white light flashed above the orb. Makarov opened his eyes to find a young girl with pastel yellow-blonde hair in a pink dress hovering above the orb.
"Good to see you, First Master." Makarov said.
"Hello Makarov." Mavis replied happily. "I see we have an issue."
"Yes, the Balam Alliance is complete and I believe they are planning a full out attack on Fiore." The master said grimly. The small girl's cheery attitude vanished and was replaced by complete serious.
"Is that so?" Mavis asked quietly.
"Are you talking to the First Master?" Yajima asked Makarov, as he couldn't see Mavis. Makarov ignored him and continued.
"Yes. We believe they may be using seven different orbs, though for what purpose, we do not know. The colours of the orbs are white, red, purple, grey, yellow and although we haven't seen the last two, we think they are black and green. These relate to our dragon slayer, White, Fire, Poison, Sky, Lighting, Shadow and Iron." As he spoke, Mavis began trembling with wide eyes.
"The Orbs of the Dragons..." She whispered fearfully.
"Master?" Makarov asked.
"The Orbs of the Dragons, the creatures created to help Zeref achieve his final goal."
"Cool, I can hear dead people that are using Thought Projection." Cobra grinned to himself.
"What?" Midnight asked.
"Fairy Tail's first master is explaining to the geezers about the crystals. I don't think this is good." Cobra explained.
"No, this isn't. Jackal, Tempester, have you two recovered?" Midnight asked the demons. They shook their heads.
"Fine. Racer, Reaper. Come with me. Grimoire Heart, do you want to join us?" Kyoka asked. Master Hades stood up and nodded.
"Zancrow, you're with me." He growled. The man with spiky yellow hair stood up with a chuckle.
"Finally." He whispered. "I get to have some fun." Black fire began swirling in his hands.
"The Orbs of the Dragons seal some of Zeref's most dangerous monsters." Mavis began to explain, "These are terrible creatures that wreak more havoc then any other demon."
"Do they possess the same elements as the dragon slayers?" Makarov sharply asked.
"I assume so. But you saw what happened at the Grand Magic Games. Not one dragon slayer managed to beat a dragon. These creatures are much worst." Mavis worryingly said. "We must stop the Balam Alliance before they complete their goal."
"Understood." Makarov nodded. He stood up and hurried upstairs, Yajima following him.
"Listen up!" Makarov roared, causing the Alliance to jump. "We must stop the Balam Alliance from getting that orb at all cost, understand."
"Master, we believe we've found a clue to what these orbs are!" Erza replied.
"I believe I know what these orbs are, and they must no be allowed to fall into enemy hands!" Makarov yelled. "They contain some of Zeref's most dangerous creations, if they get unleashed, all of Fiore may be at risk."
"What's happening?" Everyone turned to see Team 4 coming through the doors. "Did we miss something?"
"We believe we've found out what the orbs are. Did you finish your shift?" Erza asked.
"Indeed, its Team 5's turn." Lyon said.
"Wrong, its our turn dumbass." A new voice rang out through the hall. Everyone immediately switched to a combat stance, looking for the voice, while the exceeds took their respective partners to the air. It rang out again, a cold, menacing laugh.
"Awww, look at them, acting all cool and powerful. How unfortunate. Fire God's Scythe!" A massive, black, flaming scythe cut through the council all from above, making the Fiore Alliance dive to the floor. The smoke cleared quickly, revelling the man with yellow hair standing in the middle of the hall.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Look at these dumbasses, on the floor with just one attack!" He started laughing psychotically.
"Zancrow!" Natsu yelled, standing up and producing his own fire, which oozed of his fists.
"Oh look, this dumbass." Zancrow grinned. "You look mad."
"You bet I am!" Natsu roared as he kicked off from the floor. He launched himself towards the Flame God Slayer, only to be knocked to the floor.
"Calm it Zancrow, we're here for the orb. That's all." Racer muttered to his partner, who just grinned.
"But we can fun, right?"
"Sure." A third voice rang out. Looking towards the entrance, the Fiore Alliance saw three more figures. One was the demon Kyoka, one was Erigor the Reaper, and the final one was.
"Master Hades?" Makarov asked...
Woooo, we've learnt about the orbs! Each orb holds a creature that possess the same element as the dragon slayers. But how will they be used? Lets find out, at 11k views! But first, a sneak peak...
Master Makarov and Master Hades stood facing each other, magic swirling around their bodies. Each had a harsh glare, waiting for the others first movement.
"You could've still been a member." Makarov said grimly.
"Why would I want to be a member of that guild, boy?" Hades grinned back.
"You help raise the guild into what it is today!"
"And now, I'm going to turn it into ash!"
