Chapter 10: The Dam Site

After leaving the town, the guild and Takuto walked through a small forest until they arrived at a metal fence.

"Here it is, behind this fence is the dam site." Takuto said to the guild. Everyone sees that the gates are locked by a metal chain.

"I'll handle this." Gray said as he walks over to the chain and grabs it. The chain then turns into ice and it cracks into pieces. Gray then opens the gates and turns to the guild. "You guys ready for this?" He asked. Everyone nod their heads except Happy who slowly tries to fly away. Lucy quickly grabs him by his wing.

"No guys! Please! Don't drag me into this! Let me go back to the town and stay with Wako!" Happy cried, sobbing in despair.

"Oh no! You're not hitting on my wife!" Takuto yelled angrily at the exceed. Everybody else groaned at Happy's cowardice.

Lucy sighed. "Let's just go in, everyone."

Everybody pass through the gates and enter the dam. As they enter, the fog starts to clear up and everybody sees that the buildings are burn and broaded up. The houses were falling apart and the rooftops, windows and the furniture were burnt.

"It's so tragic." Wendy said sadly, knowing what had happened here.

"indeed. And sadly, nobody knows what the cause of the fire is too." Takuto said, sounding grim.

Suddenly, everybody turn their heads to Natsu when his stomach growled. "Sorry guys, it's just that we never ate anything this morning!" He said.

Suddenly, they heard another growl, causing everyone to shiver in fear a bit.

"That wasn't me…" Natsu said, sounding frightened.

"Sorry guys, that's my stomach." Juvia blushed. After that, there was another growl and this time, it came from Lucy.

"Yeah, actually, I'm really hungry too." Lucy chuckled as she wraps her arms around her stomach. Then, another growl and it's louder than Natsu's.

"Gray, that was from you, wasn't it?" Mirajane asked, turning to Gray.

"Yes…" Gray sighed.

"Hahaha! Your growl's louder than mine!" Natsu laughed. Then, there was another growl that is so loud that it causes everyone to jump in fright.

"What was that?" Lucy cried in horror.

"That was from me." Erza said, hanging her head in shame. Everyone stop walking and sigh.

"Erza is scary even when it comes to empty stomach growls." Natsu said, tilting his head to the side. Suddenly, they all heard footsteps.

Charle gasped and asked, "Who's there?'

"Everybody! Hide!" Erza whispered to everybody. Everyone quickly hide behind a nearby huge rock and Natsu and Lucy poke their heads out to see what's going on.

"Who do you see, guys?" Gray asked softly.

Natsu and Lucy both watched as two men, dressed in green uniforms are walking through a now damaged crop field.

"It's been a week now and we still hadn't found a single gem, Povorsky" One of the men said to the other.

The other man, now known as Povorsky, a man in his 40s and has blonde hair and wears a green hat to distinguish himself, said angrily, "Is it really that hard to find them, Lieutenant? Dammit. Then it looks like we would have to expand our search party." He now reaches out his hand and his hand glows light green. Six ghosts then rose up from the ground.

"What the hell?" Natsu whispered.

"Human ghosts…" Lucy uttered, widening her eyes.

"Listen you worthless souls. We are looking for your gems. Your very special gems. If you do not find these gems for us, then you can all remain here restless for another century!" Povorsky yelled to the ghosts.

"Why should we help you? You burnt our home and killed us all." One of the ghosts, who is a girl with shoulder length hair and has a hair strand dangling in front of her face, snapped.

"Shut up!" Povorsky's lieutenant yelled. Povorsky holds out his hand in front of his lieutenant.

"Come on, peasants. I know it's sad that you have lost your bodies and your souls will not rest until your remains and homes are buried and burnt, but with you all serving us, you all still have purposes to stay in this world rather than aimlessly walking around doing nothing for an eternity." Povorsky said, smirking evilly. Then he narrows his eyes and scowled. "Now don't waste any time! Move out!"

The two men left while the ghosts stood where they are, hanging their heads in sadness.

Meanwhile, Natsu and the others who slowly got out from their hiding place are disgusted by what they saw.

"Those poor souls…" Mirajane said sadly.

"And it's those bastards that kill them all." Natsu said, tightening his fists angrily.

"I want those bastards to pay!" Takuto yelled angrily. The guild widens their eyes, shock to see Takuto's anger. He yells as he was about to rush over to Povorsky and his lieutenant but Gray and Juvia quickly stop him and grab his arms tightly. "Let me go! Bastards who terrorize the peace don't deserve to live!"

"Takuto! Stop!" Erza yelled as she got in front of him and slaps his face, causing him to calm down. "I hate people who kill innocents too but our anger and hatred for them isn't going to help the victims and ourselves."

Takuto breathed heavily for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Yeah, you're right. I'm a doctor, not a madman. Sorry."

"It's alright." Juvia said as she and Gray gently release their grips. "We will avenge the victims."

"Who are you guys?"

Everyone turn their heads and see the ghosts coming over to them.

"AHHHHH! Gh-" Happy quickly got cut off when Charle and Wendy cover his mouth.

"That's not very nice of you!" Wendy whispered to Happy.

"Are you the people who used to live in this site?" Lucy said to the ghosts as she approached them.

"Yes." The girl nods her head. "My name is Rukia Kuchiki." She turns to the other ghosts and introduced them to the guild. "These are my friends, Renji Abarai, Ichigo Kurosaki, Hinamori Momo, Toshiro Hitsugaya and Soi Fon."

"This used to be a peaceful place, until they arrived." Ichigo said, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Who are those men?" Natsu said, sounding unhappy.

"They are a dark guild known as the Furtuna. They came to our home to look for the Amaterasu Gems." Momo explained.

"They immediately kill our leader when they arrived and demand us to help them retrieve the gems. We refused, so a massacre happened and since we don't have any magic of our own and they fought us with dark magic, all of us died. Not a single survivor." Soi Fon said icily before she hangs her head.

"Don't mind her tone, guys. Soi Fon was our leader's daughter. She was hit by his death the hardest." Renji said.

"What are these Holy Gems they're searching for?" Mirajane asked them.

"The Amaterasu Gems. They are sacred to our village." Momo explained as she gestures to the damaged crop field the two dark guild members were standing on earlier. "The gems were the source of giving energy to our crops every day and they contain great magical energy. But now, the Furtuna came here to steal them."

"Fortunately, the gems were hidden in a very secret place. We of course, refuse to tell them the location." Ichigo added.

"What's their reason for stealing the gems?" Wendy asked.

"We don't know. They never tell us at all." Toshiro shrugged.

"Guys, you may not know us but we are Fairy Tail. A legal guild that helps people and bring peace and justice to Earthland. If you can tell us the secret location where you guys hide the gems, we can avenge you all and defeat the Furtuna." Natsu said to them.

"I see." Rukia said, closing her hand into a fist and placing it on her chest. "Fairy Tail, promise us that after you defeat the Furtuna, you will also let us rest in peace."

"How do we do that?" Lucy asked.

"By burning down our houses and remains completely." Renji said.

Erza places her fist against her chest and bow. "We promise. We will avenge you all and bring peace to your souls."

Soi Fon then walks over to the guild. "We're not sure if we should give you the secret location. But…we trust you all enough." Her stomach then did a twist and she points in the northwest direction. "Walk northwest until you all find a cave near the dam controls. That's where the gems are."

Lucy nods her head and turns to Soi Fon. "Thank you Soi Fon. And we will let you all rest in peace, we promise." The other guild members and Takuto nodded.

With that, the ghosts watched as everyone walk their way towards the secret location of the gems.

"Good luck." Ichigo uttered.
