Note: I have two things to say. 1: I'm sorry if this chapter is badly written, but I couldn't seem to get into this, and 2: Sorry if some things aren't in the order that they happened in the anime but I seem to have misplaced/accidentally deleted the episodes.
The S-Class Exam begins.
Chapter 11 Start
Alex was on his back looking up at the sky. He heard the sounds of water as he lay there on the sand. A week had passed since Makarov told him of the exam that some of the mages would be taking and he had been sent to Tenrou island earlier then the other mages so no one would question it.
"Why does it matter if I'm here?" Alex asked himself as he sat up. He got to his feet and took the island's look in again. The island didn't look very special, except for the tree that grew from the centre. That Makarov had told him was the source of Fairy Tail's magic. He had no idea why Makarov wanted him to see the island but Alex did as he was told. Alex sat back down and saw something in the distance. It was a ship and Alex knew exactly why it was here. The other mages were arriving. Alex stayed where he was since the port that they would be landing out wasn't near him. He watched as the ship got closer and as it got another 5 minutes away the ship stopped and he saw two people jump off the ship, then another two managed to get off. He noticed the other two were Gajeel and one of the members he almost never talked to, Levy. He watched as came towards the island and disappeared from view after a moment. A few minutes later the others jumped into the water, except Natsu who got Happy to fly him to the island.
"Happy is Natsu's partner." Alex observed watching the other partners that were chosen. Cana had Lucy, Elfman had a girl named Evergreen, Juvia had Lisanna, Gray had Loke who Alex didn't know was the zodiac spirit Leo, and Mest had Wendy. Alex watched as they all approached the island and disappeared from sight a minute later. Alex stood up and went over to the port that the ship would land at. The ship came to the port a few minutes later and Makarov came off.
"Hello Alex." Makarov said smiling.
He nodded in greeting "This seems like it might be interesting." Alex told him.
"Yes...so what do you think of Tenrou island?"
"I must admit the tree in the middle is quite surprising...but other then that it's not very exciting."
"Do you know what would happen if the tree in the middle of the island was destroyed?"
"No."
"If the tree was destroyed everyone with the Fairy Tail mark would lose their magic power. That's another reason I wanted you here. In case someone targets the tree while we are here. We need all the power we can to protect the tree. Nothing might happen, but it's better to be safe then sorry. Now I need to go to where the next stage is taking place." He walked away.
"I'll look around the island I guess..." Alex said walking in an aimless direction.
Alex had no idea where he was going and he didn't realize the island was big enough to get lost, but somehow he had managed. He decided to walk in one direction and he would reach water again.
"Dammit...why didn't Makarov tell me I could get lost...would have been nice to know." Alex muttered. He heard a snap to his right and in an instant his sword was out and ready to strike.
"Who's there?" He shouted. A young black haired male walked out, he was wearing black and tan robes with gold trimmings and an open collar, along with a large flowing white toga draped around his chest. He looked at Alex and stayed silent.
Alex pointed his sword at him "Identify yourself!" Alex ordered.
The young man looked at him "You're from Fairy Tail...Alex...Natsu is on this island too, correct?"
"How do you know me? And Natsu for that matter?"
"I was expecting him..."
"That doesn't answer how you know me, and who you are!"
"Who I am? I am nothing."
"I have no time for riddles!" Alex walked closer to him.
"No! Get away from me, now!" He seemed scared
"How do I know you're not here to destroy the tree?"
"Get away before-" The man's eyes turned red and he yelled in pain "It's coming!" He yelled louder and a black cyclone started to surround him and spread out. Alex dropped his sword.
"Blood Dome!" Alex surrounded himself into a dome of blood, to try and protect himself. He waited for a few moments and his dome suddenly exploded and he fell to his knees getting hit a little by the black cyclone that disappeared a moment later. The man's eyes changed back and he looked at Alex.
"No...it happened again...but you didn't take a full hit...you won't die at least...I'm sorry." He ran off into the forest.
"Wa..it.." Alex tried to call out but collapsed.
Alex opened his eyes and looked around.
"Where the...oh yeah." He stood up "I'm going to kill that guy for what he did."
"I should warn Makarov of this..." Alex started to walk through the forest, trying to find a way out. He walked through a clearing of trees and saw an old man. The man was wearing a dark shirt with armored shoulder pads and gauntlets, a chain-mail over his chest, a dark cape with a symbol that looked like two parts of a heart and two fang like shapes under them, and a helmet. The man wasn't facing him and Alex hid behind a thick tree.
"That magic power...what is he?" Alex asked himself.
"Who's there?" Alex bolted from his spot and ran deeper into the woods as the man called out. He would not be able to fight him alone and he was in no hurry to die. He kept running until he thought he was safe.
"What's happening? I almost get killed by someone then I meet someone that has an insane amount of magic power...and yet I haven't run into one Fairy Tail member except Makarov." Alex looked around "Not only that...there's other magic power that's unfamiliar...not just one source, 4 maybe 5 as far as I can tell." Alex started moving again. He moved towards the tree, since it was the only thing that he remembered. As he got closer he heard voices. He moved towards the voices and peeked around a tree to see who was talking. Erza, Juvia and Lisanna were standing under a canopy and lying on blankets are Elfman, Mirajane and Makarov, all covered in bandages! Alex wasn't sure if he should reveal himself or not but he decided that Makarov invited Alex here for the reason to help if they were attacked, and that's what happened. He stepped out from behind the tree. The three girls turned to Alex.
"Alex? What are you doing here?" Erza asked.
"I was invited here a week ago by Makarov. He wanted me to see Tenrou island, and in case of an attack I would help...and judging by the injured, it looks like you could use help."
"We're facing the Dark guild known as Grimoire Heart. Makarov couldn't even stand up to them."
"Dark guild...Grimoire Heart?" Alex thought for a moment "I see. That symbol was their guild's insignia. I saw one of them on the shoreline, I have a feeling that's the master of the guild."
"You knew not to fight him didn't you?" Juvia asked.
"I'm not completely stupid. He sensed me and I ran, his magic was much stronger then any I've felt before. No one in the guild stands a chance against him alone. Not even Makarov."
"Makarov lost...but we might stand a chance if we find Wendy so she can heal him. Juiva and myself were getting ready to search for them." Erza told him.
"Then I'll help too. But I'm not going to stay with you two, we have a better chance of finding her if we split up."
"Alex, splitting up is the worst possible choice. The dark mages that are on the island are stronger then any enemy you have fought before!" Erza told him.
Alex turned to her "I've fought and killed my dragon parent, and I survived an encounter with another Blood Dragon Slayer, I'm sure I'll be fine." Alex said taking off before anyone could reject.
After about half an hour of walking around Alex realized he had no idea which way he came from.
"What is it about this island that makes me get lost...?" Alex muttered. Alex kept walking trying to find one of the unfamiliar sources of magic he felt before, but he couldn't seem to find them.
"Why is it so hard to locate them now? Did the others manage to defeat them?" Something wet hit Alex's face, he looked up and saw storm clouds. Rain suddenly started pouring.
"Great...now I'm sure it can't get worse then this..." As Alex said that he heard a bush rustle and a middle aged man came out and looked at him. The man had long dark hair in a ponytail behind him, he was wearing a light-colored sleeveless cloth that reached down to his knees, underneath the cloth is a dark shirt with a high round collar adorned on the front by a small metal plate, dark baggy pants with a light stripe going down each leg's side and over his entire outfit he wears a large bright overcoat draped over his shoulders like a cape. Alex watched the man for a moment before drawing his sword.
"You're part of Grimoire Heart aren't you?!" Alex demanded.
The man stared at him "Can you fly?"
"What?" Alex asked confused.
"Nope... can't fly...Fall." Alex suddenly fell to the ground by a powerful force, and it kept pushing him, breaking the ground underneath him. The force stopped and Alex got to his feet.
"What w-was that!?" He shouted at the man. The man looked at him for a moment then rose a hand, palm facing Alex. A dark violet magic circle appeared in front of his hand and Alex got shot back wards, breaking down the trees he smashed into, and the last one fell onto him. He threw it off of him.
"That's it!" Alex shouted angrily. Alex's Dragon Force markings had appeared on his body already "You're regret attacking me!" Alex made his claws appear then disappear. He knew this guy had pushed him back and brought him to the ground, so running at him wasn't a good idea. Instead Alex took a breath.
"Roar Of The Blood Dragon!" Alex shot the beam at the man and it looked as it hit him directly "Not so tough now."
"Fall." A voice said behind him and Alex was forced into the ground again "You can't fly, or defeat me. You should stay on the ground."
"Screw that!" Alex shouted as he tried to push himself up against the force.
"You can't fight against my gravity magic." The man said the force became more powerful, taking Alex to the ground again. The force stopped and the man stepped on Alex's back.
"I am Bluenote Stinger, the strongest of The Seven Kin Of Purgatory, the strongest members of Grimoire Heart! Do you really think you can defeat me? You're not even an S-class mage of Fairy Tail. You're just one their grunts."
"I may not be an S-class mage. But I don't give up easily!" Alex shouted as he got up, even with Bluenote stepping on him "You will not defeat Fairy Tail!"
"Look, I don't about destroying Fairy Tail. I just want to find The first master's grave so I can learn one of Fairy Tail's spells, Fairy Glitter. So stay out of my way and you can live."
"I'm not going to just let you pass! I'm going to kill you here and-" Alex suddenly lifted into the air "What the!" Alex was lifted a few feet into the air then stopped and he was flailing around trying to get down.
"Since you refused my offer, I have no choice." Alex felt sudden pressure from all around and scream in pain "This move increases the gravity around you right now, pretty much crushing you." Bluenote explained, but Alex barely heard him, his mind was on the excruciating pain that was going through his body. Alex suddenly fell to the ground, his markings disappearing.
"Be thankful you're still alive." He heard Bluenote's footsteps grow fainter as he walked away.
Alex wasn't sure if he had fallen unconscious, but he must have since next thing he knew someone was shaking him awake and calling his name.
"Alex, wake up!" Alex slowly opened his eyes and saw the damage Bluenote did to the area he was in.
"I was defeated...twice...by two different people." Alex pushed himself to his knees and pain shot through his body, taking him down again.
"What happened to you?"
"Why are you even here?" Alex asked finally turning to the one beside him. It was Dai.
"I came here thinking you might be here. Now tell me why you are here."
"Makarov invited me to see the island and help if it was attacked...I haven't been much help so far. How long have I been like this to your knowledge?"
"10 minutes." Alex looked around.
"At most I've been like this for 30 minutes...I think." Alex forced himself up despite the pain and looked around. He suddenly ran towards where the shoreline was.
"Hey!" Dai flew after him and caught up quickly "Where are you going? The Fairy Tail camp is the other way!"
Alex smirked "I'm not trying to get there. I have my own plans."
"It's most likely something crazy."
"It is." Alex stopped as he reached the shoreline and looked around and saw it. A huge airship "Grimoire Heart's base." Alex walked towards it.
"Alex what are you thinking?!" Dai shouted are you really going to go in there?"
"Why not?"
"That's the enemy's base! You already got defeated by them before!"
"I know." Alex walked right up to the airship "I don't plan to escape unharmed...or even alive, but if I take the leader out, or at least damage him heavily, they will retreat or Fairy Tail can finish them." A chain appeared around Alex's arm "Dai, you should leave."
"No. You've left me out too much. I'm staying with you this time."
"You're choice." Alex shot the chain on to the top of the airship "Retract." The chain pulled Alex on top of it and Alex's claws appeared and he cut through the roof. He jumped into the hole. He looked around and saw a throne and the man he had seen on the shoreline earlier. The man looked at him.
"The first Fairy Tail mage arrives." he said.
"You're the leader of Grimoire Heart, correct?"
"I am Hades. I am the leader."
Alex's markings appeared "I'm here to kill you."
