AN: Be forewarned, what you about to read is the combination of a crazy man on an adrenaline, sugar, and caffeine high and drunk of the victory of a 62-6 victory of his favorite team on Saturday. Now that we have these formalities out of the way, welcome back readers who are currently reading this, that includes you person whose reading this. Yes you, with the hair and the eyes, and those things you call arms, legs and organs. It is me, Edward, the Purest of non-pures. Yes that's ironic, now so that we can get this straight and on the record, no your socks aren't made of salt. Crazy words out of the way, onto the story before I mention the death of, oh….. let's just start with this specially made chapter now.

Chapter 10

As we walked into the guild, I could see that once again, no one was there. Did we miss a memo or something? I went straight up to the bar, and saw Cana passed on the other side of it. She must have snuck in to drink. She really needs to stop. I turned and saw Makarov passed out right next to her. He really needed to stop encouraging people.

I motioned them to stay where they were, and jumped over the bar, grabbing the two of them and putting Makarov down onto a table, I tossed Cana towards a pillar, making sure she just stopped before she could hit the pillar. She woke up with a jerk, obviously hung over.

She slowly got up, and looked around. She noticed the five of us and glared at me. "What was that for Izaya?" she asked me. I just simply shrugged, waiting for her response.

"I don't know, wake you up? I hate it when people who drink before the legal age," I said. I would have given her a monologue about Fairy Tail's purpose, but there really wasn't something related to drinking. Everyone of age usually drank, so I couldn't really blame her for drinking. "You really need to stop drinking. If you don't then what will your dad think." She simply looked downwards. Any mention of him wasn't a good idea around her.

"Don't drag him into this." She simply stayed silent after that. I got the message and let sleeping dogs lie. I grabbed Makarov next, slapping him awake. He eventually came to.

"Huh? Where am I?" He asked, not in a hangover state. I set him down, making sure the old man didn't try anything while I held him like a baby. "So, how did your mission go?" He really was getting to the point.

"Um, well, we got rid of the problem. But," I stopped there. How to put this, "I nearly killed everyone else in the process." He looked at me, shock all over his face. "They're still alive but it was my fault they nearly died. I'm truly sorry master, I'll take whatever punishment you give me." I awaited his final decision, not looking at him, but at the floor.

"Let's head back to my office Izaya." He jumped off of the table and walked towards his office. I simply looked at the others (minus Cana, who had gone back to the bar and grabbed a whole barrel of beer when I wasn't looking) and gave them a scared look. Aoi was the only one who looked confident it wouldn't go bad, but I was still scared shitless.

I walked into the office, and he was simply pouring a bottle of beer from his own personal stash into two glasses. He handed one to me, and I accepted. "Don't worry about being punished. You got everyone back safely, that's all that I care about right now." I gave him a surprised look but he still had a dark expression on his face. "But, since I have to do something about this, I have a job for you." He walked over to his desk and grabbed a glue stick from his desk. Again random trumpet blare. That was really getting on my nerves despite only being the second time. He tossed it aside, pulling out a piece of paper. He walked over and handed it to me.

I took it and read what it said. "Co-op mission: Fairy Tail and Hunter's Pride. We of the Magic Council ask that Izaya Tsubasa and Sadon Des Karan come to the village of Grendes to find a sacred treasure locked away in the Ruins of Chronomartyrvyn. Both may bring one person of their choice to help on this mission. More information will be given when the mages reach the town." I read it again, and was surprised they were asking me for an adventure based mission. This had to be Anthony's doing.

"Before you ask, yes you have to," Makarov said. "The Sadon fellow was actually looking forward to meet our legendary member." I was surprised. I was known at even near Hunter's Pride. If I had an ego, it would have been boasted, but since I don't, it didn't really affect me.

"Alright, give me about 6 hours to choose who to bring and pack." I already know who I'm going to bring, but I will need those 6 hours to pack. We may have not unpacked yet, but if we were going to Grendes on the other side of the continent, then we needed to pack again. He gave me a nod, and I waited to see if there was anything else. "By the way, Anthony is beginning to become suspicious of me, so he's going to bring in someone tomorrow to make a double take on my reports, so make sure to tell everyone." He nods again, even more not happy with what.

"Alright, I'll tell them before he get here. When will that be?" He looks over at me. I think for a second then hold up 8 fingers then giving him an "a" in sign language. "Alright. Tell the people outside to about it. I'll arrange a meeting when everyone gets back." That reminded me of another question I had, pouring more beer into the cup.

"That reminds me, where has everyone been? I've never seen the guild so empty before." He looks at me, and then just nods.

"They're all either on a mission or sleeping. I accidentally put in a forest mushroom into the food and everyone passed out." A sweat drop forms on his face (anime style). This was obviously something he wasn't happy about. Doesn't he know you're supposed to 'beware the forest mushrooms'?

"Alright, I'll be off then." I down the entire glass, set it down next to the beer and leave. As I exit, I see a trio of people fighting each other. I soon realize that it's Erza, Natsu and Mira. Cana is passed out again and Aoi is simply watching the trio fighting. I sigh, walking out, picking up Natsu and Mira, holding them out as far away as I can, and walk away.

"Well, at least this lasted long enough for the mission." I set them down, Erza following soon after. I walk over, grab Cana, and slap her awake. I set her down next to Erza. She is obviously not happy. "Alright, listen guys. I'm only saying this once since I don't have enough time to say it twice." Cana tries to sneak off, but I grab her and set her back down. "Makarov is having me go on a mission right away for my punishment, and I can bring one person with me. Aoi you're going to be the one coming." She nods. "The rest of you really need to pay attention now." Natsu and Erza are tugging each other's hair. "A council representative will be here tomorrow at 8 a.m. to assess Fairy Tail. They think we're too laid back and destructive, which we kind of are, but that's who we are. You need to show them that they're wrong." They pay attention but keep tugging at each other. "Which means no fighting. If you do, I'll have a little 'birdie' tell me." They stop and actually pull apart at just that.

"How long will they be here?" Mira asks. That was a good question. Anthony hadn't told me. He probably expected me to let them know for about a day, but if I knew anything about those f****** Polganics, it'd be even longer.

"I don't know. Just stay this way until they leave. If you do, I'll get you a souvenir from Grendes." The trio of children in front of me lit up at this. Aoi actually looked surprised, but understanding. The trio wouldn't do anything I asked without any reward being involved. "Alright, now, to get my 'birdie' here." I pull out the feather shaped amulet. "Koji, spy high." In a splash of water a nightingale appeared on my right shoulder. It chirps at me. "Yes, I know. Yuki already gave me this speech, but really. A worm is more important than this." It simply chirps again. "Fine, just keep an eye on these three and report to me if they get into a fight while I'm gone." In a chirp, it flew up to the highest beam in the guild.

Everyone looks at me, wondering how I understood it. "Animal-based Titans and Titan mages can communicate psychically in a close distant to understand one another. Titan mages have to speak verbally though." They accept this explanation, but don't understand the terms I used. "I'll explain later."

I walk towards the door, and Aoi follows suit. She catches up and stops me by grabbing my arm. "Why did you choose me out of everyone possible?" She asked. I was taken aback by the sudden question.

"You and I make a good team. It would be a waste to put such talent and lock it up." She lets go, but folds her arms, tapping her finger against her arm waiting for a better explanation. "If you want to know, there's something bugging me deep down. I can't exactly tell where but I know that it's somewhere. I'm trying to figure it out, and I think the best way to figure out something is to have its cause staring you in the face. So don't expect me to be leaving your side until it's figured out." She blushes, looking away. Something is definitely up here, but I'm sure the answer is staring me in the face, literally.

"F-fine," she stammers out, looking back at me, the blush gone. "So, what's the mission?" I think, and recite it from memory. "Wow, that sounds fun. I feel like, what's his name? That man who has that theme song and has a whip." She begins to think, straining, but it doesn't come. "Well I'll think of it later. Guess I better go unpack and repack then." I nod. We both walk away, heading in opposite directions, her staying the girls dorm and me having an apartment out in Magnolia near the fountain.

As we walk back to the train station, I finally remembered where I heard that name before. Over a year ago there was a request that asked for her return. The price was 100 billion jewels, despite only being a D-class mission. Sure I could use the money, but I wouldn't do that. Not after hearing what I had.

The train ride was relatively uneventful; Aoi pulling out a box with dango in it and putting that in her mouth. I really don't want to know what else she puts into her mouth. I cleaned my rings and amulets, out of boredom. I really couldn't think of anything to start a conversation. The air was stagnant, and on top of that, Yuki had appeared in a puff of smoke wearing nothing but a white bra and a skirt shorter than her shorts, telling me not to call on her or Alice for about 10 hours, then disappearing, the bra left to fall onto the floor.

Finally Aoi decided to speak up. "So, what is this magic of yours that you're not telling anyone?" I looked over, shocked at the sudden noise after about 5 hours on the train, 3 of those being stuck because of a cow crossing. How many cows were there?

"You really want to know don't you?" I ask, she looked forward, finishing off the dango she put in her mouth. "Alright, tap once if you don't understand something." She nods and I continue. "It's known as Titan magic, a lost magic which, as I told you the day we met, is a combination of Celestial Spirit magic and Exquiping. Using amulets we summon Titans, our equivalent to Celestial Spirits. They work with us and unlike Celestial Spirits, there are only one of each, so you can't call forth multiple of the same Titan. Using a function similar to Exquipping called Armament, we can turn Titans into a different form. For instance, Yuki. If I were to call her and call out Armament, the Ice Queen Fists will form over my hands while Yuki disappears. We also have more powerful and rare Titans called Legend Titans. They work on the same mechanics but are more powerful and harder to Bond with." She taps my shoulder. "Bonding is basically our form of a contract. The closer together a mage and his Titans are the stronger the Titan becomes and the amount of magic the mage can use increases as well. When they're as close as can be is when a mage can use Armament. Back to Legend Titans now. They don't reside in amulets. Instead they reside in rings." I hold out my right hand for her to look at. She examines it and notices that I have two rings on each finger. She looks surprised I have so many, but I quickly correct her. "I actually only have two. I get a ring every time I get a new Legend Titan to make my enemies think that I use ring magic and will not look happy." She nods, obviously understanding everything. "That's everything I know about it. There's more to it, but that's all I know about it."

"Alright, so how many Titans do you have?" She asks, curiosity poking at her beautiful face. Wait did I just think that? Puzzle piece in place, now for the rest.

"I only have 8. The regular are Paul, Yuki, Alice, Koji, Spade, and Pins. The legend Titans are a surprise, since they probably won't make an appearance for a bit." Disappointment streak her face, and I decide better to give it a shot now. "Why did you decide to come if you didn't want to?" I ask her. I thought of it while packing.

She looks away, another blush coming but she barely holds it back. "I guess I just wanted to be with you for this. You asked and it sounded fun." That gave me a warm feeling inside but I couldn't know for sure what it was. A smile actually streaked her face as I got up to sit next to her instead of sitting across like we had been doing.

The rest of the ride was actually held in conversations about various things. There were so many that I didn't even notice that Yuki came back, grabbed her bra and disappeared again. When we got to the station, a man was waiting outside. He wore a navy blue cloak and had light brown hair and grey eyes. A white cape attached to the left shoulder only. The cloak went down to his feet but he wore a short pair of white shorts. He had a pair of dusty sneakers on. He was dark skinned, had a sharp nose. I immediately recognized him from Beowth. "Let me guess, Sadon?" I ask. He nods. Great start, now to go to the place we need to get to.

AN: Alright, longer chapter this time. If you want to know why I'm putting in random trumpet blasts, it's because it's supposed to be a comical relief. I watched a show and every time glue popped up on the screen there was a trumpet doing that whole "dum-duuuuuum" thing. Yes I know you can't tell what it is from words. Just trust me on this. But back to the subject not at hand, let's not get started. What's that word I'm thinking of? Starts with 'e' end - that's it end. Let's end this off before I lose this high and drunkness so I can finish this. Ciaoooooooo… (fall over in a hangover).
