Someone special comes in this chapter. Enjoy
(Council Room)
Guran paced back and forth. He was ready for those who wished to defeat the Council. The other council members had already been defeated. His battle with Dark Star had left him partially wounded. He looked out the window. The battle was lost for the Rune Knights. Mages filled the corridors and Guran knew it was only a matter of time before Fairy Tail came to seek their revenge. Suddenly the door to the Council room blasted open. A fellow Council member, Dreg Frost, fell into the room. Guran knelt down next to him.
"What happened?" he asked him.
"Too strong..." said Dreg as he fell unconscious.
Guran looked up to see a fist charged with electrical power hit him in the face. Guran smashed into the far wall. Suddenly, the other door blasted open. In came Mirajane, Erza and Gildartz. Guran dusted himself off and stood.
"You fools! You have just challenged a man no one can defeat." shouted Guran.
"Lies" said the cloaked man as he tossed his cloak away.
The Fairy Tail S-Class mages gasped. Blonde hair, fur lined coat and those unmistakable headphones...Laxus had returned.
"Laxus!" shouted Mirajane.
"Hey Mira. I know iv been a bad person but I'm here to set things straight." said Laxus.
Guran clapped his hands together in mock appreciation.
"Oh wow, a reunion, should I get some tea?" he shouted at them.
"Your noisy old man." said Laxus as he turned to face Guran.
Guran glared at Laxus.
"So, come fight me!" he shouted.
Everyone nodded to each other. There was no way they could defeat Laxus by themselves. They needed to combine their strength into a massive attack that would end Guran's life once and forever. Before anyone could do anything, Guran struck.
"Blood Red Sun!" he screamed as fire blasted outwards towards everyone.
The heat knocked everyone back but didn't kill. Guran was looking insane, with fire shooting out of his palm and with an insane smile on his face. Suddenly Guran grew wings of fire and flew straight into the air.
"You can not defeat a Phoenix Slayer!" he sceamed as Laxus and everyone else jumped straight into the air after him.
"Meet your maker Guran!" shouted Gildartz.
"Fairy Tail's finishing move!" shouted Erza.
"Fairy Crown!" screamed everyone as golden light enveloped everyone and they smashed their entire bodies into Guran's stomach.
Sound, Touch, Vision, Hearing, Smell were made void by the incredible amount of magical power being used against Guran. Guran seemed to blend into the air as he was hit by Fairy Crown.
"Ahhghhh!" he shouted as his very existence was erased.
Suddenly a blast of pure energy blasted everyone back. Everyone fell against the wall. Guran slowly got up. He was seething with rage.
"You idiots! Do you have any idea what you have done?" he shouted.
Suddenly a rumbling could be heard from the sky.
"Etherion!" screamed people in the hallways.
Guran stood up slowly. He glared at the mages before him.
"Because of you fools, Etherion has awakened. Now, I must go absorb it's destructive power." he said as his Phoenix wings returned.
Everyone looked in awe as Guran transformed into a huge blazing Phoenix. Etherion's blast could be seen hurtling towards the Council building. The Phoenix that was Guran opened it's huge beaks and ate the Etherion. There was a flash of blinding light as Etherion's laser was digested by the huge Phoenix. Suddenly the legal guilds started to retreat. The legal guilds could never go up against a wizard with the power to absorb Etherion without taking damage so easily. When Guran finally landed in the Council hall fully out of magic, everyone had retreated. The Council had won, but with a heavy cost. The Rune Knights were all dead and the Navy had been sunk. His other members were all dead or unconscious. Guran collapsed into a chair and closed his eyes. He needed a break. Etherion was a vile weapon that should never had been created. The Council building was destroyed and would take years to rebuild. The council would have to be reformed, AGAIN. Guran drifted off to sleep.
(Fairy Tail)
Everyone slogged into the guild, dejected. They had lost the battle, however, the council could not do anything to arrest or disband the guild. The Rune Knights were all dead and the council was in shambles. Everyone was glad that they still had their guild though. Makarov walked into the guild, feeling sick.
"Everyone, good work today. We did not win but we secured our place in this world." he said to the guild members who had gathered.
The guild nodded their heads.
"I suggest you all get sleep. Who knows what will happen tomorrow." said Makarov as he went into his office.
The rest of the guild headed home. It had been a long day.
(Malice's room later that night.)
Malice was up late. She was reading Worm Wood. Suddenly she noticed something weird. In the book was some sort of letter.
Dear Malice,
I apologize for being the worst brother I could have been. However, this book belongs to me. You must never destroy pages of this book. It is a book with power so strong it can destroy everything you have known. Never forget the forest with black tress and the gears of trinity. Remember, there will always be people that will look up to you. 89 76 23 46 09 10 4567 4869 1 34 56 90 24 34 2344927585950 56 WW
Signed, Skorm.
Malice just looked at it. The letter had been written a long time ago. The paper was yellowed and had rips in the corners. What she couldn't understand were the numbers at the end. The letters must be some sort of code. Suddenly there was a green glow. Malice nearly fell out of her chair. She flipped the pages of the book. Numbers filled the pages. Malice suddenly got a strange feeling. A book with indescribable power. Malice quickly got to work trying to decode the book. She recognized certain numbers. She and Skorm used to play a game in which they used code to figure out messages. Within 3 hours, she decoded 2 pages. It seemed to be the beginning of a spell. Malice smiled and kept trying to decode the book.
(Wendy's room)
Charle backed away in fear. The boy standing in front of her gave off a sange aura. The aura of a demon.
"My name..." he said.
Charle backed away, eyes wide with fear. Suddenly the boy turned towards Wendy. Charle stepped forward to defend Wendy. The boy glared down at her with eyes with red pupils. Charle felt a flash of fear go through her.
"Out of the way cat." he said as he moved Charle out of the way.
"Wwwwwweeeeennnnnndddddyyyyy!" screamed Charle.
Suddenly she was standing outside of Fairy Tail. She looked next to her and saw that several letters on the signboard had fallen off. She reached down to pick them up. They turned into ashes. She looked towards the guild entrance. It looked normal. She walked into the guild and gasped when she saw what hadnhappened to the guild. There was blood everywhere. She recognized faces. Elfman, Evergreen, Gajeel, Levy, Weasel, Nabu, Grey, Natsu, Erza, Gildartz and all the others. On the main stage was the boy, now a teenager. He was holding something weird. He turned to look at Charle. He laughed an insane laugh.
"Iv come back...mother." he said as he grabbed Charle.
Charle gasped when she saw Wendy on the ground. Suddenly she was facing the boy's eyes. They were still blood red. Unchanged from her last encounter.
"Iv come for mother." he said evilly.
Charle screamed. Suddenly she felt Wemdy shake her awake. Charle looked in surprise. She jumped up and inspected Wendy to look for bruises or cuts.
"Charle what's wrong with you?" asked Wendy.
"N...nothing. Let's go have breakfast with our friends." said Charle nervously.
Wendy agreed and the 2 of them went to go eat breakfast. However, Charle could not forget her dream and realized with a shock that it was a vision. A vision of the future. Wendy was endanger. For now, she could tell no one about her vision. She just had to protect Wendy to the best of her ability.
