Okay this is WAAAAAY shorter than I wanted it to be. I am running on little sleep and I want to make these last chapters as good as possible. I am doing you a favor in the long run. I don't want to halfass the big fights. You will get something substantial in a few days, Battlefield 3 is coming out tomorrow so I will preoccupied tomorrow. Than you for understanding. I love you all.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail." said Mira in her usual manner when she heard the door creak. She looked up and saw Zero walking in with a strange girl. "Damnit Zero, how many times are you going to worry me to death and then just walk through the door!" said Mira in a huffy tone. Mira refrained from cursing most of the time, but did when she was emotionally stressed.
"Sorry Mira. But I don't have time at the moment. Summon every member of Fairy Tail, except Gildarts. We don't need him. Now." commanded Zero with a stern look on his face. Mira was going to ask where Lucy was, but decided to do as her Master had asked. She rung a bell that every Fairy Tail member knew to be a gathering bell. When everyone had been assembled, Zero got up on the stage. Erza, Gray, Natsu, Wendy, Angus, Gajeel, and Lily pushed to the front. Happy and Charle flew above the crowd. Zero cleared his throat, and spoke. "Earlier this week, my Lucy and I were kidnapped by the dark guild known as Dark Frost. I had made and enemy of them in the past and they came after me and Luce. They took Lucy in the night on our honeymoon, and me the next morning. They used a kind of sound magic to put me into a comatose state. They used the same kind of magic to erase all memories Lucy had of us, and replace them with false ones. She is currently a member of the dark guild, and will be made their queen. Now, I ask you. What will we do about this" asked Zero after his information had been received. His serious tone let everyone know what must be done.
"We will fight! Dark Frost will rue the day!" shouted Erza hoisting a sword in the air. Everyone else cheered and they got ready for the battle. Everyone got any kind of gear they might need. Armor, weapons, magical items, and other things were gathered and distributed. Erza, Gray, Juvia, Natsu, Mira, Gajeel, and Levy went onto the stage.
"What did they do to you! I'll make them pay!" said Erza as her eyes burned with hatred. Zero looked at her with a smile.
"Erza, I will fight my own battle against the people who did what they did to me. You are fighting for Lucy's sake. Remember that. They are a rather large guild from what Aria tells me. Oh and by the way this is Aria Bastion, she freed me in more than one sense." replied Zero coolly. He took of his tattered shirt and put on a white wife beater. He put on a thick yellow cotton shirt over it, and rolled up the sleeves. He left it unbuttoned as he put on a pair of blue jeans. Erza, Juvia, Wendy, and Levy's faces became red as he undressed in front of them. Gajeel got a smile on his face.
"So Its a war again. Reminds me of when I was on the receiving end of Fairy Tail punishment. Oh and why the dumb getup?" sneered Gajeel in a funny way. he was pumped for the fight.
"This is what I would wear when I worked on the farm, and I always felt comfortable in it. Also Lucy said it looks good on me, so maybe it will spark a memory inside of her." answered Zero rubbing his chin. He had the beginnings of a beard and wondered if it would interfere in Lucy's memories. He then remembered he didn't have time to waste shaving. "Alright people we need to get moving. Head on outside, I picked us all up a ride. Reedus, I will need you to paint the side of it for me." said Zero with a smile. The group walked outside to see a huge airship. It was like a ship that you would find in the water, but it had propellers on the masts and on the sides. It was rather large and consisted of wood and metal. On the front of the ship, it had a dragon head protruding to act as the bow. Reedus began to paint the Fairy Tail logo on over the Dark Frost symbol. On the stern of the ship there were three magic receptacles. It looked like the arm devices on the car that Erza drove. "I need two volunteers to help me pilot and power this thing. It almost drained me completely getting here. Comon lets see those hands." he said. Erza, Gray, and Aria raised their hands. "Well its my lucky day. Gray, alright lets go. Erza, we need you at top performance to win this fight. Dark Frost has quite the number of S-Class mages. Aria, are you sure?" said Zero with a chuckle.
"I'm sure, I may not be that strong in a physical sense. But I have lots of magical power." said Aria with a nod. She looked oddly confident. Zero grinned.
"Fine, but only Fairy Tail guild members are allowed on this boat. So what do you say? I owe you my life, and this is the greatest gift I can think to give someone." he said holding the stamp. Aria smiled and looked at her guild mark. What she was once proud of, she was now ashamed of. Her guild had done horrible things to this one man and countless others. She didn't want to be a part of that anymore. She held out her right bicep and Zero put the magic eraser on her arm. He then put the stamp on, it was a sky blue color. As the guild climbed aboard, Gray pulled Aria aside.
"Hey, what are we up against here? Who are the strongest mages in your guild?" he asked plainly. He wanted to see if they had a fair chance at victory. The old him would have just started a contest with Natsu to see how many they could beat up. He had matured beyond that now, he wanted strategy.
"Well aside from the Shadow Triad, which would be Witcher who is a speed and fire mage. Flint who is a re-equip mage who uses short range weapons like hatchets and knives. Kinder who is a deadly archer, he uses re-equip to make use of different arrows. The Big Five who are Haruse Tamazaki an ice and extrasensory mage, Esmeralda who uses combat style fire magic, Ian Blake who is an earth mage, Kenji Himaru who uses all elements and combat re-equip magic with swords only, and Toko Ikezawa who uses her Demon Card magic. Oh and the Master who uses water and ice magic." listed Aria. Gray sighed.
"Great, so about nine S and SS-Class wizards who will have lots of back up. Well I suppose we should get moving. Lets get this bird in the air." said Gray getting up onto the ladder.
The stillness of the main hall in the Dark Frost guild was terrifying. It was filled as it usually was, but no one was saying a word. Lucy sat on the man in dark armor's lap smirking. She just seemed so content. Her black tube top was a size away from ripping and her shorts followed the example set by the top. Her boots were black leather and up to her knees. Her hair was done in two pig tails tied up with black snowflake ponytail holders. The armored mad seemed to be grinning from ear to ear. "So you really think the Fairies will show Zalaz?" asked Lucy in a condescending tone. The man smiled.
"Oh yes, they will come. They stole an airship and they didn't try to take you. He is getting reinforcements all right. And we will be here waiting for him my dear. And when I beat him, we will begin our life together." said Zalaz looking at his stolen queen. His prize was quite the carnal feature, not lacking in anything. This would be a good day, war and sex. His favorite things in life. He heard the distinct beat of propeller blades and stood up setting his prize down beside his throne. The battle was almost upon him. He could taste it. "Get me the Shadow Triad and the Big Five, we have to welcome our guests properly!" he boomed with excitement.
