Okay, I am still not used to typing on my phone, I kinda lose track of what I'm doing, and the smaller screen is pretty annoying. Well I can type pretty much anywhere now but anyway Guys enjoy and thanks to Nella Malfoy (check her out) and to everyone who has reviewed.
"First Trial?" Wendy asked as she looked up at the master, confusion written across her young face.
"The test is usually split up into levels." Mest explained as Noir watched him with a frown, she had no memories of him but everyone else did.
The master gestured to a pillar of smoke on the island. "You see that smoke on the shore of the island?" He asked but did not wait for an answer. "First you must head over there. You'll find eight passages but only one team can enter a passage. Then this will happen." A screen appeared next to him, both taller and wider than the master.
It showed eight paths all leading to one point.
"Battle?" Someone asked.
"It says pitched battle on Mira's, Erza's and Gildarts' faces..." Gray said as his voice trailed off.
"It says calm as well." Loke pointed out. Noir climbed up and sat on the other side of the screen. "A battle means you fight against another team, which ever team wins may continue on."
"The pitched battles are the hardest paths, you have to go up against s-class wizards." She explained. "Essentially, you're fucked."
"You're not on there." Lucy pointed out. "You're an s-class wizard."
"Don't worry, Gildarts is beatable." Noir said, avoiding the question. "... If you're an earth mage with the ability to hide in voids and are extrememly lucky..."
"Wait, if you beat him, why is he ranked higher than you?" Natsu asked.
"It doesn't work that way... You could have a beginner water mage beat an expert fire mage, just because fire's weak to water, any other day and I'm sure he would have beaten me, pretty sure he was drunk and only wanted a brawl. Why am I talking to you? I can feel my IQ points drop." Noir said with a sigh. "The calm path has no fighting, its the easiest."
The master nodded before speaking. "This trail is about battle might and luck."
The whole group looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Well I wouldn't say luck, more of chance. Its like by chance I might let my guard down when I attack." Noir offered.
"If its about luck I think we can do it!" Lucy said to Cana with a smile.
"There's only a 1 in 8 chances to get the calm path." Cana said with a sigh.
"At most 6 can get through, at the least 3 can go through." Noir said and everyone nodded.
"How did your Trail go?" Lucy asked.
"... It was a maze... I just flattened it and just wiped the floor with everyone." Noir let out a sigh. "That's a story for after the trails."
"That's why we have the rule of you must follow the path." The Master said shaking his head.
"Its not my fault you don't cater for the smart and the Earth mages!" Noir said, only to end up being smacked with a book.
After Freed's rune trick, Levy's, Gajeels, Elfman's and Everygreen's escape Noir looked around the annoyed people stuck on the ship.
She placed her hand on the barrier, prepared to blow it to hell but then sighed, ripping open a void and walking through it.
"Noir..." Lucy whined before the slayer could shut the void. "A little help?"
"I could teach you how to link to my magic to be able to use the basics of it, there's a lot of things you couldn't cast but it'd still take a while." She said with a smirk. "Remember Lucy, you're strong, go kick some ass."
Lucy let out an exasperated sigh, knowing she'd have to wait.
The only route left was the C route, grudgingly taking it Lucy and Cana trudge on.
"They save the best till last!" Lucy said with a bright smile.
"I know that voice." Someone said.
"Its Cana and Cosplayer." Bixslow said with a smirk. "I know all your moves Cosplayer, who knew training you would benefit me in the future?"
"What did you say was saved till last?" Cana asked.
"The thunder god tribe..." Lucy murmured. "Ready to lose Freed?" She asked with a smirk as she leant forward, the green haired mage blushed. "Or are you not going to notice as you crave for your long lost Laxus?"
Freed's eyes widened as he stammered trying to find something to defend himself with but stopped, unable to think of a good dismissal of her comment.
"Cosplayer, its a shame Noir isn't here to defend you." Bixslow said. "Or Loke, he's the reason you beat me last time."
"I wish she was here to watch me kick your ass." Lucy countered as her hand fell to her keys.
Noir suddenly appeared, falling face down on the ground before she stood up, glaring at everyone in the room. "... Way too much magic... I didn't think it would factor into my trajectory path."
"You're not supposed to be here!" Lucy hissed.
"Don't you ever feel like our whole lives are just stories and the writer just didn't know what to write to make this interesting since its already been told a million time. So they total fucked up my void path and I ended up here? Because I'm apparently interesting... No, wait, Everyone just loves Nyx." Noir asked and was only stared at. "Er... I'll go..."
"You can stay and watch." Lucy said and Noir shook her head.
"I can't." Then she was gone.
"What was that about?" Bixslow asked.
They all just stayed silent for a moment.
Lucy just dodge forward, slamming her fist into Bixslow's gut. Round housed kicked him and then elbowed dropped him. He was now out for the count.
She turned to Freed with a slight smirk as he looked surprised.
"Before we start, could you please put some clothes on?" He asked a slight blush passing across his face.
Lucy laughed. "Is that because you don't want to be beaten by a hot chick in a bikini?"
Freed sighed. "I knew she was a bad influence on you but I will be the one to take Laxus's place."
Lucy just smirked, as Cana threw a card at has as he was distracted, knocking him out. The fight was over so quick, so anti-climatic and yet, it proved that Lucy was strong, and she didn't need to ask her spirits help to get what she wanted.
"Wow Lucy, you never said you were such a good fighter." Cana said as she put her arm over Lucy's shoulders.
"Bixslow always said attack them when the least expect it." Lucy said. "His loss was his own fault."
They both laughed as they continued on.
Noir sat in a secluded area of the island, her eyes closed as she spread her sense. "Why can I feel you but yet I cannot find you?" She asked herself "... He wouldn't be here... That would be far too convenient."
She sighed. "How long has it been? Five years since I've last seen you, six since you bestowed this curse upon me."
She then stood, looking at the swaying trees and the luscious green grass. The wind gently blew against her cheeks, kissing them softly. It was so peaceful, but inside was always a battle, death was never a power to be held back, after all its final. The only sure thing.
"I'm not sure if I should be surprised, angry or glad." A voice said.
"Didn't I always ask for you not to talk in my mind?" She replied dryly.
"You're searching for me... I'm afraid I may meet my demise before that can happen." He said, almost sorrowfully.
"Jerry?" A younger Noir said as she walked through the forest looking from side to side. "You're three meters to my left at an elevation of five meters."
She heard a sigh and then moments later Jerry appeared in front of her with amused brown eyes and ran his hand through black hair. "Using your Dragon senses is cheating, you need to detect my magic."
"Father may disagree." Noir said with a half smirk. "He does believe that as long as the job is done and done well, it doesn't matter how you do it."
He sighed. "Just sense the magic this time, you can't search for everyone by smell alone, what if you don't know how they smell?"
She shook her head from the memory before responding. "Perhaps."
"Noir?"
"You never used to call me that." She said bluntly, her hands tightening on her shorts as she just stared out in front of her.
"Terra..."
"Father calls me Noir, why don't you Jerry?" Noir asked, all of 15 years as she swung her legs, sitting on a bench.
"Terra is your birth name." Jerry said as he looked through his books, trying to find one that may aid Noir in her training.
"Yeah but that's gone and past, Father said it may be best for me to move on from that life." Noir said with a shrug. "Terra means earth, you are an earth mage, Terra sounds like Terror, which seems to link rather well with your dragon element."
"... So its a play on words to you?" She asked and rolled her eyes. "Funny..."
The male voice inside her head sighed. "Why search for me?"
"Elaine..." Noir whispered, holding a dying girl in her arms. "Don't leave me..."
"... Noir... I'm sorry." Elaine whispered, her face pale, her words tired and her usual bright blonde hair, pale and limp. Brown eyes watched her lilac ones before closing.
Elaine breathed her last.
"... I have to watch all my friends die." Noir whispered to herself. "There will be no end... Why did he give me this curse?" She said as tears began to run down her cheek. "Elaine... One day... I'll make him the pain I felt today."
She fell silent, no words came to her, she so wanted to make him suffer but she couldn't tell him that. Just remembering that moment hurt. "Pray tell, why do you care?"
"... I - I don't know."
"Then leave me in peace." She severed any and all mental communications, letting her body fall into a state of sleep as she waited for the end to this pain, this uncertainty, hoping to return home and never feel like this again.
Something was wrong with the place, it wasn't the order or the life, she'd long been able to cope with things that stood against her element, it wasn't all the magic, that just made her sick, something was just off and it left her unsettled.
"Papa!" A young girl shouted as she ran to a black haired man with striking blue eyes. "Look!" She said as she summoned a purple flame to her hands, slowly white and orange began to flicker around in it.
"Well done Noir." He said with a smile and he ruffled her hair. "You'll be the strongest mage these lands will ever know."
"Cousin has been helping me Papa, he thinks I should learn about my earth magic more, he said if I combine my usual magic and the earth magic I can cause more destruction." She said with a bright smile and her father nodded.
"Perhaps... It could certainly aid you in taking out a great number of people at once." Her father put his hands on her shoulder. "I will make sure you're so strong nothing can hurt you, I can't protect you forever dear child, but I can give you the power so you can protect yourself."
"But Papa, you promised you'd never leave me." The child said as she watched her father with sad Lilac eyes. "I know my dear Noir." He said as he kissed her forehead. "But a time will come when I must leave you, so that you can become stronger."
He pulled her close, holding her tight, she was the only person he could ever love and for some reason, the very idea of leaving her hurt.
Noir's eyes shot open. "... What was that about?" She murmured as she stood, dusting herself off and walked away. "...Father never loved me."
It wasn't long before the slayer stopped in her tracks. "... Father was my only family... Before Fairy Tail... I was only a weapon... But he tucked me in at night and promised to protect me forever... Papa... What happened to you?" A lone tear fell down her face. "... You changed for me... Why did you change back?
And then a voice rang out through the forest. "Stay away from me!"
She turned, as she felt the swell of death rush over her and she ran, towards death.
