Edolas 1
Gohaku had let loose his rage and ascended beyond ssj2, but his newly found form was born through rage and sorrow. He has buried everyone the villagers of everyone village, the students and masters at the academy, and finally his friends Saya and Jin. He took Jin's white headband in his right hand to remember them.
He looked their graves a small tear escaped from his eye. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you guys, but I promise I will avenge you, I'll find the bastard who did this to you and I'll make him suffer. I won't fail to save my friends…. I won't fail again." Gohaku clenched his fists so hard they began to bleed, the blood in his right hand covered Jin's white headband turning it blood red, he turned ssj black and wrapped the headband around his forehead and flew back to Magnolia.
Back at Fairy Tail Wendy, Lucy and Carla talk about Dragons and the day of their disappearance, which happens to be the same. Happy arrives with a wrapped fish for Carla. Carla angrily declines, rejects Happy and then leaves, thinking that he is clueless. Happy runs after her, asking if he has done something to make her mad at him. Carla replies that he can't protect Natsu but she can protect Wendy. Happy says that he can protect Natsu because he is his partner, but Carla answers that he can't and leaves saying that he doesn't even know what he is.
Gohaku walks in while still in ssj black surprising and scaring some of his guild mates Lucy included. Some of them didn't recognize him and were quick to defense until they saw his tail.
"Whoa Gohaku you okay buddy you seem little mad." Macao said.
Gohaku simply walked to the request board and punched right through it.
"Hey we know all you're a little mad but don't take it out on the request board c'mon we need that so we can take on jobs." Nab said.
"Shut your goddamn mouth!" He snarled in a slightly deeper voice. (Okay Gohaku's voice was never classified but for his English voice: Goku Japanese voice: Trunks.) Gohaku reverted back to his normal state still angry. "You've never lost someone close or someone you consider to be your sibling, but I have…" tears began to stream down his eyes. "They're dead they're all dead…They were everything to me, they needed me, and I wasn't there to save them…"
"Gohaku tell us what has happened." Erza said.
"In my search for my brother I found no trace of him, so I gave up on the search. I returned to the academy that taught me my magic and found only dead bodies. Bodies of the younglings, the students and the masters. My friends Jin and Saya among them….." He stopped as the memory of his friends ran through his mind. "Why'd they have to die?... Why couldn't I save them I know I could have."
"Sometimes there are things that are out of our control. You're not all powerful Gohaku."
"Well I should be…. Someday I will be. I will be the most powerful Ki-user ever, I promise you I will even learn to stop people from dying." Gohaku proclaimed.
"Gohaku." Erza said in surprise.
"It's all master Koi's fault he was jealous, HE HELD ME BACK!" He shouted in rage, turning ssj black in the process. (to refresh your memory Master Koi was one of the masters at the Wu Kong academy)
"Gohaku what did you do?" Makarov asked calmly.
"I… I killed them…. I killed them all… They're dead every single one of them." Turned and faced Makarov. "And not just the men, but the women and the children too. They're like animals and I slaughtered them like animals… I HATE THEM!" he sat down clenched his face in sadness. Erza sat next to him and hugged him. "To be angry is to be human." She said.
Gohaku reverted back to normal. "I'm a saiyan I'm prone to these emotions, I don't know what to do should I lose control?'
"That is something for you to figure out my boy." Makarov said.
"How can I figure out something like that didn't you hear me say that I slaughtered an entire tribe of people out of RAGE! How can I prevent that?"
"Gohaku a powerful mage you are, yet unpredictable and dangerous you can be to both your friends and enemies." Makarov said before turning to face Gohaku. "Go outside and calm down."
"Yes master." Gohaku walked outside in the rain, sat down and started meditating.
"Geez that kid's anger makes Natsu's look more like a temper tantrum." Wakaba said.
"He said he killed "Them" what did he mean by that gramps?" Kana asked.
"Hmmmm there are many tribes in the Saicho region and all of them are possess an animalistic nature but none more savage than the Horoken tribe. They would raid the towns protected by the Wu Kong academy, but each time they were pushed back but each time they came back… I guess Gohaku grew to hate these tribes over the years and that Hatred must have broken free when he saw the bodies of his friends he flew into a rage." Makarov explained.
"Man that kid's history is dark." Wakaba said.
"He's been through a lot in life Wakaba, he's never forgotten the bandits who attacked his clan nor is he willing to forgive people that would harm those close to him." Macao stated.
"His anger may be his greatest weapon but his most dangerous weakness. He must learn to let go, something he should've learnt in the academy… huuuuuuuh this saiyan nature of his is hard to understand." Makarov said with a hint of pity in his voice,
Meanwhile Gohaku meditated to try and take his mind off the pain he was feeling. His friends the people who were like brother and sister to him were gone and there was nothing he could do that would bring them back.
(flashback)
Gohaku's transformed into ssj black out of pure rage and sorrow, tears flowing from his eyes, he heard a deep voice calling out to him "Gohaku of the Minaki clan you have great rage in your heart, you belong to me the god of war Xias, given to your anger and set it free." Gohaku over taken by his anger replied. "SOMEONE MUST PAY!" Gohaku stood up and let out a roar of terrifying rage. "Yes, yes, I know your pain, go to the hidden tribe in the black mountains the Horoken. Take my power and use it to slaughter these vile beasts and soon you will have your revenge this your new master Xias promises." Gohaku's now red pupil-less eyes glowed red with hellish rage as a black energy entered him, he felt a surge of power fueled by nothing but hate.
Hours later Gohaku came across a tribe of Horoken people who had captured, tortured and killed a woman, her husband and child. Seeing this it brought back the memory of how Gohaku failed to save his closest friend Zeina and began to feel his rage build within him, he was obsessed be able to control events and people around him the death of his friends was something he had no power over causing him to go mad for all kinds of reason's… He looked about wondering how he was going to get the woman out of there for he certainly wasn't going to leave her to the Horoken, he could hardly move there seem to be a profound pointlessness to it all a series of motions without meaning at that time the only meaning, the only purpose that Gohaku could fathom was that of the rage building within him. The anger at losing his friends, an anger at losing someone that he did not wish to give up. Some small part of him warned him to not give in to that anger warned that such emotions only bring suffering, then an image of Saya's dead body appeared before him, so still seemingly at peace but covered with the clear evidence of all the pain that had been inflicted upon her body these past days. The young saiyan climbed to his feet and unsheathed his sword, engulfed it in Ki and boldly strolled into village. The two Horoken guards gave a yelp and lifted their axes rushing for him but the red glowing blade ignited and in a flash of killing light Gohaku cut them down left and right. The rage was not sated.
Gohaku began to hear his master Akuma imploring him to restrain himself, to deny the rage he hadn't recognized it though for he was too full of pain and anger. He spotted a Horoken woman to the side in front of one of the tents carrying a pale of dirty water and saw a Horoken child in the shadows of another nearby hut staring at him with an incredulous expression then he was moving though he was hardly aware of his actions his blade flashed and he ran on. The Horoken woman screamed and was impaled, now the entire village was in motion Horoken rushed out of every hut many with weapons in hand but Gohaku had entered the Minaki dance of death, his pupils appeared in the but they were not his blood red pupils these pupils were yellow will a darker red rim. he leaped far and long clearing one hut and coming down before another his blade flashing even before he landed even before the two Horoken recognized that he had jumped between them. A third came at him thrusting forth a spear but Gohaku stood there and left the spear hit him dead on in the chest, breaking upon impact, then he thrusted his sword through Horoken's mouth and kicked him through the wall of another hut. Gohaku was off and running, off and leaping his blade spinning left and right in a blur every stab taking a Horoken down, every slash putting a piece of Horoken on the ground soon he as covered in blood and none were standing against him all trying to flee, but Gohaku would have none of that he saw one group rush into a hut and sheathe his sword and grabbed a large boulder and threw on the hut of Horoken crushing them all, then he was running his strides enhanced by his anger overcoming the fleeing creatures, slaughtering every one. He didn't feel mercy or remorse nor regret he only felt a surge of energy strength beyond anything he had ever known, felt full of hate, full saiyan fury, full of power, full of life and then it was over. Suddenly it seemed and Gohaku stood among the ruins of the village dozens and dozens of dead Horoken people all around him and only a single a hut still standing. He sheathed his sword and walked to that hut where he found the dead body of the woman but the remains of her husband and child, he gently a reverently scooped the woman's body into his arms and soon buries her in Sachigumo village.
(End of the flashback)
Meanwhile Wendy finds Carla and talks to her about her actions. Suddenly, Mystogan arrives and reveals to the two of them that he was the "Jellal" that Wendy knew seven years ago. Wendy, out of happiness, cries and tells him that she's missed him but Mystogan tells her that it's not the time for a happy reunion and that she should get out of town immediately. Mystogan explains that the Anima has grown and that he cannot suppress it anymore. Above the city, the thunder clouds are beginning to form a circle. Mystogan continues to say that Magnolia is going to be destroyed and that all the people in Magnolia and Fairy Tail are going to die. Wendy, followed by Carla, tries to run towards the guild, wanting to save everyone. Mystogan tries to stop her, saying that he is willing to save her alone, but Wendy won't hear any of it.
Everyone in Fairy Tail proceeds with their activities, completely unaware of the impending danger. Wendy is still running towards Fairy Tail but she trips. She then sees that the thunder clouds are forming a circle in the sky and lightning starts flashing and striking out upon Magnolia. The buildings in Magnolia begin to disintegrate into tiny pieces and are sucked up into the sky in the form of a tornado. Wendy reaches the front of the Guild and tries to warn everyone, but the guild bends upwards and disintegrates as well, like all the other buildings. The entire town is sucked up into the clouds. Seeing that the guild and the town are both gone, Wendy wonders why she is still there, when suddenly Natsu and Gohaku appears.
Natsu asks Wendy where they are, saying that he was asleep. Wendy explains what happened but Natsu doesn't believe her. Wendy then continues to say that maybe only Dragon Slayers were left behind Gohaku objects saying that he's not a Dragon Slayer so why was he left behind. (This will be explained)
Carla then arrives and says that Wendy is right. She continues to explain that the hole in the sky was actually called Anima. Suddenly, Happy arrives and asks Natsu what has happened. Carla ignores him and continues to say that she and Happy come from Edolas, the world on the other side of Anima, and that they are the reason as to why the town disappeared.
Carla explains to Natsu, Wendy, Gohaku and Happy about Edolas. Edolas is another world that is beginning to lose its Magic. The Magic there is limited so the King decided to construct the hyper-space Magic, Anima, that is able to absorb Magic from other worlds. It started six years ago where it opened at various parts of the world, but it wasn't giving the results that the Kingdom of Edolas was expecting, as someone from this world was closing the Anima. However, the Anima that just appeared above Magnolia was simply too big for anyone to stop, causing the Guild and the town of Magnolia to be absorbed. Carla also explains that she and Happy are indirectly the cause of what happened. Six years ago, they were sent to Earth Land with a mission of their own. Even though she hasn't set foot in Edolas before, the knowledge of Edolas and their mission was inserted into their bodies and she is angry at Happy because he doesn't know a thing about it. Wendy and Happy ask what the mission is, but Carla refuses to say it and tells Happy to remember it for himself.
Natsu tells them that they are going to rescue their friends in Edolas. Carla agrees to take them under some conditions. First, since returning to Edolas is a violation to her orders, Carla tells them that they can't be seen by the kingdom and that they should wear disguises. She also makes Happy promise to not ask her about their mission. Thirdly, she can't act as a guide since she doesn't know anything about Edolas. The fourth is, if she or Happy tries to betray them, Natsu, Gohaku and Wendy are to kill them without hesitation. Gohaku grunts in agreement, Carla then sprouts her wings and tells Happy to do the same, since their wings are a way to return to Edolas. They grab hold of Natsu and Wendy Gohaku floats up and they fly up at top speed without holding any of their power back save for Gohaku, and they break through the remaining traces of Anima.
They then arrive at the bizarre world of Edolas, with floating islands, strange animals and plants, and rivers flowing in the sky. Suddenly, Happy and Carla's wings vanish -since Magic can't be used freely in Edolas- causing the team to fall, Gohaku grabs Natsu and Wendy while Happy and Carla land on his shoulders. Gohaku safely lands them to the ground and they decide to just walk around and explore, as they don't know anything about Edolas. They create disguises out of plants and attempt to talk to the humans they find, only to fail as the humans run away at the sight of Gohaku, two even calling Happy and Carla "Exceeds" and several calling Gohaku "Lord" and begging him to spare their lives. Confused, the team decides to continue exploring. They accidentally step on a bouncing mushroom that causes them to end up in a storehouse where they manage to find some decent clothes to use as disguises. Gohaku finds a purple Sleeveless Uwagi with a long backside secured by a blue obi tied sash over his waist, white pants, blue armbands, and black Kung Fu shoes.
When they have all changed their clothes, Natsu looks out the window and sees the guild symbol of Fairy Tail hanging from a bizarre building in the shape of a tree. They enter the building and find Juvia in a revealing outfit; Gray under tons of layers of garments who is in love with Juvia; Jet and Droy bullying Elfman; a workaholic Nab; a ladylike Cana who doesn't drink alcohol; Alzack and Bisca totally in love with each other; and Lucy wearing goth-like clothes, who manages to find the team hiding under a table, drawing the attention of the whole guild to them.
"Son of Bitch!" Gohaku cursed in annoyance.
End
