The Fallout 11
Ahahahahahahahahahahah it's been tooo long. I am actually soooo sorry! I actually thought I already published this and was about to publish chapter 12…my memory is so bad I know. Anyways chapter 12 is already done and chapter 13 is half-way through, so another will be coming out soon-if I remember-so please enjoy this one!
Kagura and Simon
Lucy wanted nothing more than to run to Lisanna and ask if she was okay. But the angels had begun herding into the portal.
Lucy was sure there were more families with the name 'Strauss' though, it was about how similar the two looked. They both had bright blue eyes and smooth silver hair.
"Lu-chan, were you hit by one?" Levy asked, she pointed to Lucy's back.
"By what?" Lucy asked cluelessly.
"A Limus," Levy said with an obvious tone.
"I don't think so, why do you..." Lucy twisted her head and arched her back to see a splotch of grey on her wings.
Her face whitened and she turned from Levy, "I must've. Better get to Heaven so I can rest up, right? It'll only take a night of sleep." Lucy flew off until she reached the portal, passing by Jellal, Lisanna, Gray and many others.
This is Natsu's faultLucy grumbled. He had to kiss her back there. Lucy sighed, it was her fault. She enjoyed it. She enjoyed him. It wasn't as if angels couldn't be attracted to someone, but it wasn't common.
Lucy prayed that she was just someone Natsu would tease for a bit and it would all go away. But if she enjoyed it, then wouldn't she be hurt in the end? She cast a quick illusion spell to hide the grey feathers.
Shaking her head, Lucy shuffled into the portal with the others. Lisanna strode up beside her and Lucy put a comforting arm around Lisanna's shoulders.
"I...do you think she'll remember? Do you think it's bad if we talk? I'm in the kitchen most of the time but...I knew her in my part life. No, it's probably forbidden by some rule..." Lisanna mumbled.
Gray came up to them, "Hey, I'm sure it'll be okay." Lisanna nodded and gave Gray a small hug.
"Lu-chan! Come over here, there's someone who wants to see you," Levy called. Lucy departed politely from the group and flew over to where Levy was.
Beside Levy was a boy around Wendy's age. He had small muscles and violet hair with dark eyes.
"You're...Lucy-nee?" the boy asked.
"Do I...know you?" Lucy studied hum carefully.
"We met in Acalypha...and then something happened and I got like this. I'm Romeo," he said with a small smile.
Lucy's eyes widened, "Romeo! But...how?"
Romeo explained to Lucy exactly what had happened. He explained what he saw and the angel named Ultear as well as exactly how the magic had worked on him. Lucy's face was a mixture of horror and pity.
"...and I think this may be connected to this attack. Mystogan said that Limus don't typically have any anti-magic particles in them. Someone must've altered them somehow," Romeo finished.
"Levy-chan, did you already know about this?" Lucy looked to one of her best friends.
"Wendy told me, and Gray knows as well. Though, he seemed a bit spacey when Wendy was explaining which isn't like him," Levy thought aloud.
"I...I'm sorry this had to happen. And King Makarov already knows?" Lucy asked. Romeo nodded.
"Thank you Romeo. I'm at a loss of words of what had happened. I hope you'll be able to adjust. Be safe," Lucy rested a hand on his shoulder before she and Levy gathered with the rest of the angels to the portal.
Jellal had decided (mostly due to Meredy bothering him about it for the past two days after the attack on Hell) to collect the two souls he was supposed to.
He carefully led them to outside the gates. Every so often the smaller of the two would hum and shock Jellal. He could only assume the that soul would have electric powers of some sort.
Holding out his hands, Jellal softly chanted the spell needed to extract the corporeal bodies from the soul. Slowly, the souls took shape. The bigger one grew taller and the smaller one began to glow brightly.
Jellal waited for the spell to finish. In front of him a man a bit younger than him with a mask that covered most of his face stood. He had a strong build and dark hair. Beside the man was a woman with jet black hair. They must've been brother and sister. Jellal took another look at the man. For some reason, it gave him a headache to look at the man.
With a wave of his hand, the two people opened their eyes.
"Hello, what are your names?" Jellal asked gently.
The man didn't speak. He simply stared at Jellal. The girl's face darkened and her eyes hardened.
"...al," she whispered
"Pardon?" Jellal stepped closer.
"Jellal," she said more clearly.
"Your name's Jellal?" the blue haired man looked confused.
Suddenly the girl jumped up and punched Jellal in the cheek. "JELLAL!"
Jellal flew up and the girl growled. She didn't have wings, but she pounced and kicked him in the side.
"It's your fault!" she cried. "Your fault that we...that Simon cried! And suffered! You selfish, ungrateful, bastard!" the girl screamed. She grabbed Jellal by his coat collar and punched him again.
"K-Kagura..." the man-Simon-finally said. He stalked over to Kagura and gently pulled him off of Jellal. Kagura didn't fight her brother, but she hissed at Jellal.
"You died," she said.
"Yes," Jellal nodded.
"Good."
"Kagura! You can't say that about someone. How do you know that this man is..." Simon trailed off.
"You've both lost large portions of your memory. Little will return. You both seemed to have recalled your name, and," Jellal fixed his eyes on Kagura.
"You seemed to have remember me, someone who must've had an impact on your mortal life," Jellal said through his teeth.
"You don't remember us," Kagura said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
"Few dead souls remember anything about their past," Jellal said factually.
"Were we so insignificant!? You left us! You asshole! You don't remember," Kagura tore from her brother's grip. She violently grabbed Jellal's arms. "You don't remember anything! Nothing! You...you..." Kagura seethed.
Jellal simply stood there. Kagura and Simon and Erza. It only made him more curious. And Gray...he survived the storm, then what?
"You," Kagura's voice faltered. She pulled away and bowed deeply. "I apologize for my behaviour. Something happened, even now it's fuzzy. I only remember bits and pieces," Kagura apologized.
"All is forgiven. Now, don't you two want to be angels? Serve Heaven?" Jellal gestured to the Gates of Heaven where the Twelve Zodiac stood guard. Six on each side of the gate.
"Yes," Simon answered for both of them.
Jellal nodded his head to Loke and Capricorn as they passed the gates.
"We aren't entering?" Kagura asked.
"No, you are not angels yet," Jellal stated. He led them through the misty terrain that covered all of Heaven.
After some pointless meandering Jellal spoke up, "I wonder what you would've done if I had come back."
He turned to face the siblings. Kagura clenched her fist, "I would have definitely scolded you for leaving. Maybe get in a few kicks."
"But we would forgive you none the less," Simon stepped in.
"Yes, because you managed to escape and you came back. That meant we'd all be able to escape," Kagura finished.
Jellal smiled. It wasn't the finest, but their sense of justice was quite good.
"Well, we're here," Jellal motioned to a grey building. He led the two inside and instructed them to stay in the glass area.
"Now, we're here to see if you have etherious in you. If you don't I'm afraid there's nothing you can do, you'll become a ghost," Jellal said apologetically. "I wish you the best of luck," and with that, Jellal flipped the switch to the machine next to him.
He watched as the two siblings looked around. Eventually some beast would attack them and trigger their magic in a panic. He saw Kagura's eyes widen and Simon point at an invisible monster.
Suddenly something began shinning at Kagura's side and Jellal looked to the Sensory Machine. Though, nothing was detected. Jellal looked back at Kagura to see a sword and sheath resting by her hip.
It must've been her Mortal Item. Jellal was curious to see Simon's Mortal Item. Jellal himself didn't have one he never mentioned to anyone why though. It wasn't their business after all.
Kagura unsheathed the sword and easily cut into the air. Jellal looked over to Simon to see him pressing his two index fingers together. In an instant everything went dark.
Simon's face was just barely visible and Jellal watched as he felt himself being slightly pulled towards the other side of the room.
The Sensory Machine lit up. *Gravitate Recensere. It flickered and another set of words appeared. **Tenebris Medeis.Jellal fixed his eyes back on the scene.
He was nodding when he reached for the switch to turn off the simulation when the Sensory Machine lit up once more.
It was quite uncommon for someone to learn two magics. You could develop a stronger form of your own, but having another was an entirely different matter.
He was curious to see which sibling had two. ***Lanuae Magicae is what was on the screen. Jellal decided that since this magic was rather weak, it must've been the reason why one could have two magics.
He reached for the lever and flipped it off. Kagura and Simon were huffing loudly and Jellal greeted them in the room.
"Well, congratulations. Your ceremony will be after dinner, you'll be showed to your houses and given a tour by my friend," Jellal led them back to the Gates of Heaven.
"Welcome to Heaven."
Lucy was in the safety of her own home. She snapped her fingers and the illusion spell on her feathers disappeared.
It had been a grueling day of Soul Hunting and throughout it, she had to ensure the illusion stayed strong. Maybe the charm wasn't difficult, but when fighting, you could forget it was there and Lucy's grey feathers would be revealed.
She looked in the mirror to see about four large grey feathers. They seemed to tint the light her other golden wings produced.
Lucy's thoughts raced. Natsu. Natsu. Natsu. He was kind, but he was a demon. He was earnest and wild and stubborn yet unpredictable. He was fire.
And Lucy loved it. She loved his big smile, and how warm he was. She loved how he put his heart into every battle and respected her. She loved his little antics of motion sickness and how he always wore his scarf.
But she was an angel and he was a demon. And it was taboo.
Lucy shook her head, she ran her fingers through her currently messy blonde hair and sighed. She shouldn't be considering any affiliations with that demon. She was an esteemed angel.
Lucy heard Horologium's dinner bell. She quickly ran a brush through her hair and put the illusion spell back on her feathers to resemble her golden ones.
Before Lucy stepped out of her house, a certain smile darted across her mind.
"Well, we'll have to ask the man himself, won't we, Invel?" Zeref asked calmly. "Though, considering how he is, it is simply him having fun."
Invel felt the back of his neck grow hot, but he stood straight and nodded.
"You're dismissed. Do me a favour and make sure Serena isn't doing anything stupid. He enjoys showing off," Zeref sighed.
Natsu Dragneel was extremely troublesome. Zeref sometimes wondered if it was really necessary to use her power on him. Though, without the Fire Dragon Slayer, the world would fall apart.
"You called, sire?" a disheveled orange head bowed.
"Gildarts, won't you do me a favour? It's simple really," Zeref asked the strongest of his Defendants. The difference between the Spriggan and Defendants were the Spriggan were exclusive to the castle while the Defendants only had duty. They'd guard the castle on certain days but were allowed to be in a guild.
"Sure, whaddaya need?" Gildarts complied.
"Dragneel respects you well enough, won't you fetch him for me? By force if need be," Zeref flicked a speck of dust off of his throne.
"Sure, is that kid causing trouble again?" Gildarts laughed.
Zeref smiled a wicked grin, "Like you wouldn't believe it." Gildarts let out another laugh as he strode out of the castle doors.
He shifted in his seat and a guard came and gave Zeref another piece of paper.
"...Rogue hunting, tch just give them a suspended sentence or something," he tossed the paper away. "Interfering with mortals, Laxus can straighten out his own teammate...magic seeping, hmm, boring...the lava is starting to bother me-"
Zeref crumpled that sheet into a ball and set it on fire. "Stupid! Can't they solve their own problems!?"
He noticed Ajeel chuckling and Zeref immediately regained his composure. His finger curled around the corner of the next page, ready to toss it away when a word caught his eye, "An Unbalanced Soul..?"
Zeref smiled. While recruiting more demons wasn't much of a problem, it would be useful to gain a new powerful ally.
Unbalanced Souls were souls that were just tipping on the edge of being a demon. Just barely less than 15% negative energy within them.
If you were able to lead an Unbalanced Soul away from where it had been originally captured, it would become either angel or demon, depending on where they had ended up first.
Zeref decided that he'd try to get the soul, after all, Makarov had taken one from him.
A loud bang sounded from just outside the hall doors. Ajeel had rushed, ready to attack when Gildarts strode in with Natsu behind him, being dragged by Erza.
"Got him, he was at the lake fishing with his new pet," Gildarts said.
"And Miss Scarlet, what are you doing here?" Zeref turned to Erza.
Gildarts spoke up, "I can explain. Natsu was simply being difficult, so Erza stepped in and offered to help bring him back."
Zeref hummed, "Very well, would both of you just wait outside the door?"
Natsu stood up straight and quickly lowered his head before retaining his normal posture-which was quite poor.
"Natsu, I've had reports that you've been...dallying with a light," Zeref began.
Natsu stared at him before his eyes widened, "Oh! You mean Lucy."
"Yes, you've been having your fun, I'd just like to ensure that it's merely a phase," Zeref studied Natsu. He saw him swallow and the demon rubbed his neck.
"Uh, yeah. Just a little thing, y'know," he mumbled. "Why ya asking anyways?" he shot back.
"Two reasons. The first you should know."
Natsu nodded, "Yeah it's illegal I know."
"More than that, taboo. Punishable by death," Zeref raised his head.
"Yeah whatever and the second reason?" Natsu asked.
Zeref smiled bitterly, "Because I'd like to warn you."
"Why?"
There was a long silence. Neither of them spoke. Natsu began whistling quietly. Zeref simply sat there with glazed eyes. "Because it happened to me," the king finally said.
"You fell in love?" Natsu asked wide-eyed.
"With someone I shouldn't have. And it hurts Natsu, you can't get hurt like that Natsu," Zeref said quietly.
"...Because I'd bring destruction, right?" Natsu swallowed. Zeref nodded, assuming Laxus or Erza had explained it to him.
"Hey, when did you never have wings or a tail?" Natsu asked, switching the mood.
Zeref smiled, "Since forever. Now, you're dismissed would you please send in Miss Scarlet when you leave. Mister Clive is free to go."
Natsu walked lazily out of the hall. Erza proudly strode in the hall and bowed deeply to Zeref.
"My liege?" Erza lifted her head.
"Erza, I have a special mission for you, won't you complete it for me?" Zeref asked.
"Whatever you ask my King," Erza complied. Zeref grinned.
"Hey Rain Woman?" Gajeel yelled loudly. He closed the door to Juvia's apartment and walked in. Juvia loved baths-water in general-more than anything so he strode to the bathroom.
Remembering Juvia's scolding about "being a gentleman" Gajeel quickly knocked then barged into the bathroom.
Juvia was not there.
Gajeel frowned, she must've been out Soul Hunting or doing who knows what. She wasn't at the guild the last time he checked.
"She said there was something I could pick up," Gajeel huffed. Cana had told him Juvia had rushed into the guild hall announcing that, "It was finally finished!" before dashing off somewhere.
Though, Cana was drunk half of the time so Gajeel wouldn't be surprised if she'd just dreamed it.
To be sure, Gajeel quickly peeked into Juvia's room. He gently pushed the door open and instantly regretted it.
On Juvia's bed were dozens of dolls, all the same, just different sizes. The walls were plastered with art-Reedus, an artist must have painted them-and they all shared the same person.
Where the hell had Gajeel seen this face before?
Quickly turning to leave, Gajeel bumped into a another figure.
"Ah! Gajeel-kun, why are you here?" Juvia asked. She looked past Gajeel and saw her room.
"I was just looking for ya," Gajeel said stiffly.
"Juvia will talk to you on one condition," she squinted her eyes.
"What?" Gajeel asked.
Juvia got extremely close to Gajeel as a dark aura seeped out of her, "You will not tell Gray-sama this!"
Gajeel thought for a bit. His best friend was being taken over by some cocky angel! He wouldn't allow it! Gajeel swallowed and nodded. After all, Gray didn't need to know the reason why Gajeel wanted to beat the shit out of him.
"Sure. Can I ask you what I came here for?" Gajeel said calmly.
"Of course Gajeel-kun, what do you need?" Juvia led Gajeel away from her bedroom.
"Cana said-"
"Love Rival!" Juvia shrieked.
"...What?" Gajeel looked at Juvia sternly.
"Ah! Nothing, please don't mind Juvia. Continue," Juvia smiled pleasantly.
"Anyways, that drunkard said you finished something you wanted to give me," Gajeel said simply.
A wicked smile spread across Juvia's lips. "Of course Gajeel-kun, please wait here," Juvia stood up and quickly left the room.
There were only two things that Juvia would really give him. The first was presents for Lily, as she thought his cat was the most adorable thing in the world. Gajeel always internally argued, after all, Lily was a strong partner and fierce warrior! Not some snuggly cat. Though, he always accepted her gifts. The second thing was plushes.
Juvia came back and handed Gajeel a tiny plush. It was a blue shrimp that was barely the size of his hand. On it was small red glasses that made it look absolutely adorable.
Gajeel flushed a light pink, "Thanks Rain Woman." He stood up stiffly and walked to the door.
"Don't forget Gajeel-kun. Not a word to Gray-sama," Juvia whispered as he reached the door. Gajeel nodded as he left. He cracked his knuckles. Now where would Gray be at this moment?
Levy had been telling Lucy all about a book that she'd found. The library in Heaven was enchanted, whenever a new book came out in the Mortal World it would appear somewhere in the library.
There was a clinking of spoons touching glass. All the angels stopped and turned to the front of the dining hall. Lisanna and the other cooks peeked out from their spot at the kitchen.
"Everyone! Please welcome our new angels!" Makarov shouted. "This is Minor Angel Kagura Mikazuchi!" Makarov gestured to a girl with jet black hair. A sword hung at her side. She had sleek, white feathers.
"Hello," Kagura bowed.
"And this is her brother, Simon!" Makarov urged the tall man beside his sister to step forward.
"Uh...hi," Simon said quickly. The mask covering his face made it even more difficult for everyone to hear. His wings, unlike his sister's, almost drooped. They were tinted red around the edge of some of the feathers.
"Please welcome them!" Makarov said before flying away to his table.
A hand lightly tapped Lucy's shoulder she turned to see a brown-haired angel with one hand on his heart and the other flung outward.
"Oh! I have never been graced with such beauty until tonight!" Hibiki declared.
"Do you wanna share my ice cream?" another boy appeared. He had lighter hair and a smaller frame.
"It's not like I came here for you or anything..." a final angel said. He was dark haired and skinned.
Levy rolled her eyes, "Oh gods."
"What's going on?" Lucy asked. The three boys seemed to sparkly as the first one pulled out a rose.
"I've brought you a rose, yet it is pale in comparison to you," Hibiki declared.
"Your beauty shines, my sweet," the smaller boy said.
"It's not like I went out of my way for it," the last boy said with a quiet voice.
"Hibiki, Eve, Ren, you aren't allowed to woo Lu-chan," Levy growled playfully.
A tear appeared at Hibiki's eye, "Such beauty! Wasted because a friend wanted my sweet to herself!"
"My heart has known no woe till now!" Eve agreed.
"I shall fight you!" Ren shouted.
Gray came to the table and slapped his hand down just in front of the boys. "Sure," he grinned lazily.
"I second that," Jellal said as he came to the table. The boys gulped, Jellal was a Gold Angel, his power was evident.
"Perhaps our love will be forbidden," Hibiki sighed dramatically.
"Alright drop the act," Gray said grumpily.
"Don't be rude! Just because you're jealous that no one loves you!" Ren snapped.
"That's what you think! I actually do have someone who loves me!" Gray stood his ground. He was always ready for a challenge.
"And who might that be?" Loke rested his elbow one Gray's shoulder.
"Yes Gray, who is it?" Levy smiled.
Gray pursed his lips, "...Juvia"
Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Gray felt himself about to slink away when a firm hand rested on his shoulder. "Oh forbidden love! What a tragedy that would be. Unfortunately for you, the demon wouldn't be punished, it isn't against their law. Sure, people would think her strange. But, they don't really care. You've pulled the short end of the stick I'm afraid."
"Loke!" Lucy exclaimed. Every word he had said to Gray also struck her.
"Lucy my dear! My one and only!" Loke said dramatically.
Hibiki was about the step in when Jellal intervened. "Hibiki, your Archive Magic, do you think you'd be able to aid me in some research with it?"
"Of course, how's tomorrow a bit after breakfast?" Hibiki suggested.
"Yes, that'll be fine, thank you," Jellal nodded. Gray seemed relieved that the conversation topic was no longer on him.
Kagura and Simon came to sit with the group. "I apologize for my behaviour today, Jellal," she bowed.
"It's fine, please don't trouble yourselves over it," Jellal smiled.
Levy, being curious as she was decided to inquire, "What happened?"
We, uh...I attacked him," Kagura looked at her lap.
Levy, Gray and Lucy all went wide-eyed.
"It's behind me, please don't make a fuss about it," Jellal said calmly. "Now, I'd love to teach you to Soul Hunt tomorrow but I'm a little busy, my friend, Meredy will teach you instead."
"Wait you two know each other!?" Gray exclaimed.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Jellal cocked his head to the side.
"She approached me and asked if I wanted to train with her before the exam. I didn't really figure you knew each other," Gray scratched his neck.
"Meredy, Ultear and I were quite close before any of you came along," Jellal explained. Gray's mind felt fuzzy. Ultear? Ul? Who is Ul?
"Anyways, she'll meet you at the gate tomorrow," Jellal turned back to Kagura and Simon. Gray shook his head and sat down across from Levy.
"I wonder how old we'd be to each other if we were still living in the Mortal Realm," Levy wondered aloud.
"True, time travels differently here, two years could pass here, but only two days in the Mortal Realm and vice versa," Gray agreed. Jellal swallowed he knew when Gray was born.
"I could technically look it up, if you were all interested," Hibiki suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Levy agreed. A yellow panel appeared in front of Hibiki. His fingers quickly typed something in the keys and he tapped on the screen a couple of times.
"Ha! The eldest of all of us is Gray!" Jellal spat out his drink and Lucy stared at her raven-haired friend curiously.
"But Jellal's older than me!" Gray cried.
Levy rolled her eyes, "That means he lived a bit longer than you," unfortunately hung off of the sentence.
"Four years later, Jellal was born, I was born a year after Jellal," Hibiki continued. "Eighteen years later, Lucy was born. Ren was born three years after. Eve, you were born six years after Ren. And finally Levy, you were born eleven years after Ren."
"Hmph! I'm even the youngest!" Levy puffed out her cheeks.
"Do not fret, age is merely a number," Hibiki went back to flirting.
"That's a thirty-seven-year difference from Gray to Levy!" Lucy exclaimed. "But Levy was collected before me!"
"I presume that the Mortal Realm time was going by faster than in Heaven. Your soul must've just been lost in the many others and hadn't been collected. Then I suppose time slowed down. Your soul might've been in a vegetative state for a few years," Jellal speculated.
"True," Lucy agreed.
"Hey everyone!" Lisanna said as she came to the table.
"You off early tonight?" Gray asked.
"My, well if you are..." Loke slithered up to Lisanna.
"No, sorry Loke, I've just come to ask you guys something, is anyone free tomorrow?" Lisanna asked.
A chorus of "No" sounded from the table.
"I am," Lucy spoke up.
"Yeah same," Gray also responded.
"Great! Do either of you mind meeting me at the portal tomorrow? After lunch? I'm not on dinner duty so I was just wondering..." Lisanna trailed off.
"Of course we'll be there!" Lucy spoke for both her and Gray.
"Thank you so much! I'll explain tomorrow alright?" Lisanna clasped Lucy's hand and rushed back to the kitchen.
"Wonder what that was about," Gray wondered aloud.
"Report?" Alegria's hand waved.
Shagotte bowed to him and a white cat appeared at her side, "Charle, thank you. The Lightning Slayer has a a strong front, but his weakness is that he has such a large family to protect. He feels that anything bad happening to them is his fault."
Alegria laughed, "Perfect, shall we strike one by one? That's quite a bit of work."
"That won't be necessary my liege, the Lightning Slayer has three close companions," Shagotte said simply.
"Wonderful, I'm sure Mard Geer can think up some colourful ways to kill them," Algeria waved Shagotte off.
Once she was out of the room, Mystogan was there to greet her.
"Did you hear it?" Shagotte asked.
"Are we really going to kill them?" Mystogan asked with a somber tone.
"We can't stop his plans now, but we can reduce what happens to them. I've got ears everywhere, I'll try to figure out exactly how this is all going to happen," Shagotte petted the pure white cat beside her.
"And you are going to keep an eye on Laxus' companions. I'll get back to you as soon as I hear anything," Shagotte sighed.
"Oh Charle..." Shagotte said to the cat beside her.
"Shall I continue spying?" Charle asked.
"Yes...I suppose we'll have to give another Slayer an Exceed. Maybe not the Lightning Slayer, that'd be too obvious. Have you found the Poison Slayer yet?" Shagotte asked.
"Not yet, I've been searching but no one's ever brought him up. I wonder how long he's been dead for," Charle sighed.
Shagotte gave a bitter smile, "Well, we just have to pray that it won't be anything we can't handle."
Meredy impatiently tapped her foot. She shook her head, deciding that it would've been better if she had gone to collect them rather than meeting them.
After breakfast she had quickly gone home to grab her headphones-her Mortal Item-then was waiting at the Gates of Heaven.
"Apologies," Kagura said as she flew to the gate. Her brother followed awkwardly behind, still adjusting to his wings.
"It's no problem, actually I was the one who originally collected you guys, I made Jellal take care of you, so I suppose this is just me doing my duty," Meredy explained.
"Right, unlike how you might've imagined when you enter the portal, it'll feel like jelly I guess, Portal Particles may bite at you, but they don't hurt. Also, you can't just sit there, try to move forward to exit, or else you'll just be lost in the portal," Meredy explained.
"Since we're angels, we go through purer portal's easier. Portals to Hell hurt and take much longer to go through, but few angels ever go there," Meredy motioned for the siblings to follow her through the portal.
She waited on the other end for a good minute, before contemplating trying to find them in the portal.
Just before she stepped back in, the two tumbled out.
"Alrigt, so follow me," Meredy said. She led them to a spirit while explaining the logistics of Soul Hunting.
Kagura looked in awe at the Mortal World. She was able to see mortals interacting, but they didn't see her. She could walk through them too, but she still made an effort to avoid them.
Simon was working on collecting a soul that Meredy had led them to. Kagura simply stood next to her brother, watching demons and angels fight each other.
Suddenly a flash of red crossed her vision. Kagura felt a burning anger fill inside of her. She didn't know why, but Kagura slowly started to make her way towards the bright red spot in her field of vision.
"Kagura..?" she heard Simon say. Meredy began to fly after her when Kagura made Meredy's centre of gravity where Simon was. She was pushed back.
Kagura stalked the red-headed figure with fury bubbling inside of her.
The figure turned around to reveal an all-too familiar face. The dark eyes sharpened as she also began to fly towards Kagura.
Kagura grabbed her sword, using her magic to force the woman against the ground. Kagura crept up to her prey and raised her sword high above her head.
"ERZA!"
*Gravitate Recensere-meaning gravity change
**Tenebris Medeis-Meaning dark magic
*** Lanuae Magicae –It means teleport not exactly the nicest translation, I know
Ahaha second chapter ending in a scream. I actually really enjoyed having the ages of everyone (in the angel group at least) in there. Lol it really doesn't mean much. Well sorry this took a while! The next one will surely be up soon!
