Nova was on her way to the guild. After returning yesterday and telling everyone about what happened, she was a little nervous to find out what is so special about the necklace. She just doesn't want to see her friends get hurt over this.
"Nova!" Nova turned around and saw Raio was back in town and was heading her way.
"Raio! Did you just get back from a job?" Nova said.
"Yeah." Raio said. "Man. It feels really great doing a job in legit guild like Fairy Tail. So what's up? You look like there's something on your mind." That was when Nova was telling him everything that went on. "Whoa! Attacking Fairy Tail for revenge is one thing, but this sounds like another."
"Levy's working on finding clues as to what the necklace is." Nova said.
…..
Levy spent every moment she could researching any history that tied to the necklace. Everyone gathered at the guild as they were all expecting there to be some sort of answer. She continued to speed read through book after book, but it didn't seem like she was having any luck.
"It looks like Levy hasn't had any luck yet." Storm said.
"Maybe we should speed up the process." Simon said. "Levy is just one person and there has to be so much history to go through."
"I'm not really looking forward to doing all that reading. I'm not a bookworm like Mom." Gale said.
"Any luck, Levy?" Erza asked.
"Still nothing, but I'm close. I can feel it." Levy said.
"Don't push yourself. Take a break once in a while." Gajeel said.
"It's okay. This is a good exercise for my brain." Levy said. As she continued to look through her books, Nashi hanged back by the entrance for all she could do was wait around.
"You okay?" Storm asked as he walked over to her.
"Yeah. Just feeling a little antsy." Nashi said. "I just know something bad is going to come out of all this."
"I wouldn't worry too much about it. If something big is going on, we usually come out on top from it." Storm said.
"I think you're confusing us with our parents." Nashi said. "We haven't been in the kinds of battles our parents have been that much. Although, I guess you're right."
"You shouldn't worry too much. Wouldn't want that pretty face of yours to look depressed." Drake said as he came over to them. "You don't need to worry, Nashi. Everything is going to work out just fine."
"No one really asked you." Storm said.
"If you got something to say, just say it!" Drake shouted.
"Stop it. Do I have to separate you two like children?" Nashi said. "Honestly, what causes the two of you to fight around like that." Both of them kept glaring at each after, but they ignored it because Nashi asked.
"By the way. Where's Laxus? Shouldn't he be helping out some?" Drake asked.
"I talked to Nova about that. He had a little business with the council to take care of, but he's already been informed about what's going on. He should be back soon." Storm said.
"I got it!" Levy shouted and got everyone's attention. "I knew my good feeling was right. I finally found what this necklace is exactly."
"Yay, Mommy." Gia cheered.
"So what is it?" Lucy asked.
"It better not be just something valuable, money wise." Sasha said.
"Not exactly." Levy said as she held one of her books. "This book told me everything we need to know. Let me start with the engraved letters that Nashi found. First of all, the words they spell is FARVA."
"So what does that mean exactly?" Erza asked.
"Let me tell you a little story first." Levy said. "This takes place a few hundred years ago. There was once a man and a woman from two different villages that was at war with each other and they were madly in love. The two lovers could not be separated."
"Aw. Don't tell me this is a sappy love story." Gale groaned, but Damien drove his elbow in the gut to have him be quiet.
"One day, the man gave the woman this very necklace as a token of his love for her. Farva was actually the name of the woman." Levy said. "However, she was lost in the war. Outraged, the man created a powerful weapon to help him put an end to that war. He knew how much his love hated conflict and did what he could to bring an end to it. He succeeded in the creation and in the goal"
"A powerful weapon to an end a war?" Simon said. "What kind of weapon was it?"
"It doesn't really say." Levy said. "He named the weapon after his lost love in hopes that it would last for all eternity. It's called Farva Infinite. With the aid of magic, this necklace actually acts as a key to awaken that very same weapon."
"That necklace is the key?!" Nashi said.
"Could that be why that creep in the shadows attacked us for it?" Storm said. "Does he know about this?"
"If that's the case, he might be trying to look for this very same weapon." Simon pondered. "Levy, what happened to the weapon after the war?"
"Well…" Before Levy could answer, Drake heard something on the other side of the wall behind him and Storm picked up a sense of magic power.
"Nashi, move!" Both of them said as they grabbed a hold of her and tried to push her out of the way just as an explosion went off. Part of the front door came down from that attack and no one was really expecting that.
"What was that?" Storm questioned.
"It sounded like cannon fire." Drake said.
"Uh…guys, look down." Nashi said. Both of the guys looked under them and saw that in the explosion, they both accidently groped Nashi much to her embarrassment. Both of them freak and moved away from her.
"S-Sorry, Nashi!" Storm said.
"Didn't mean for that to happen!" Drake said as Nashi sat up.
"Forget it." Nashi said as she tried to move past the embarrassment. "What attacked us?" Everyone focused on the explosion site and were met with them team from Kyubi Eye. The one responsible for the explosion was Kray with cannon-like objects on his shoulders and a railgun-like weapon in his hands. Nashi and her friends looked in the center and recognized Dinar. "You! You're the creep that attacked us!"
"This is Fairy Tail?" Codor said. "I expected their guildhall to have more class. How simple and untasteful."
"This time, give us an answer. Who are you people?" Simon demanded to know.
"I am Codor. A warrior of elegance and class."
"I'm Kray. The most explosive sharpshooter you'll ever meet."
"We are from Kyubi Eye, a guild up north." Dinar said. "We strike down anyone who dares stand in our way and hunt down everything like pray. You may call me Dinar." With introductions out of the way, he unleashed series of shadows and blasted Nashi with her being blown back and assaulted by the shadows.
"Nashi!" Natsu shouted.
"Bastard!" Storm said as he went to attack him, but Kray cut him off and aimed at him.
"Open wide." Kray said as he used his railgun and opened fire at him, but Storm was quick enough to form a shield. Ul tried to land him a hand.
"I got him. His attacks can't harm me." Ul said.
"Oh yeah?" Kray said and started shooting at her. The blasts shot through her, but she still felt some pain coursing through her body.
'That gun can shoot magic?' Ul thought. Kray used the two cannons on his shoulders and blasted her and blasted through Storm's ice. Kray and Dinar used their combine powers and was attacking everything in sight to force some of the people to go on defense.
"You made a big mistake coming here!" Damien said as he entered his demon form and tried to attack. However, Codor waved his hand and undid his magic. "What?!" He was left wide open and Kray blasted him.
"How pitiful." Codor said.
"I'm starting to get annoyed." Simon said as he remained covered behind a table.
"Simon, with me." Erza said and Simon agreed. Erza requipped into her Black Wing Armor and Simon requipped in his Purgatory Armor, but Codor waved his hand and undid both of them as well.
"What?! How'd he do that?" Simon said. Kray tried shooting at both of them, but they moved out of the way. Simon stood facing Codor.
"It would appear that even Titania and her son know they're powerless to us." Codor said. He charged right at Simon and surprised him as he changed a silver and blue lightweight armor with a sword in his hand.
"He requips just like I do?!" Simon said.
"Bow down!" Codor said as he bashed Simon and kicked him straight into a wall.
"Who the hell are these guys?" Sasha said as she stayed hidden and tried shooting at them as the three of them kept up their attacks.
"I don't know, but they're strong." Nova said. While all this madness was going on, Levy noticed the necklace was being lifted into the air.
"The necklace!" Levy shouted. The necklace floated over to the door and passed Kybui Eye into someone's hand. Some of them looked behind them and saw the necklace in Bazal's hand.
"We've got what we came for." Bazal said. Nashi stood up and saw him with the necklace.
"Give that back. It's not yours." Nashi said.
"It is now. I am Bazal. I was the one who hired Kyubi Eye to help me acquire it. You should have just given it back and minded your own business." Bazal turned away and was leaving with the necklace. Knowing how important was, Nashi got up and tried to stop them.
"Hold it! You're not taking that!" Nashi said, but Bazal was ready for her. He used telekinesis and sent her flying all the way to the other side of the guild.
"A guild that cherishes friendship and the bonds they form with others out of love or compassion?" Bazal said. "What a complete joke. We have what we came for. Dinar, give us some cover."
"I don't think so!" Natsu said as he tried to do the same, but Dinar used his shadows to blind everyone in darkness. When the shadows cleared away, all four of them were already gone and the necklace with them.
…
Hours Later
Everyone was trying to get the guild back up and were helping those who were injured.
"That was embarrassing." Raio said. "Three guys against the entire guild and they managed to clock us."
"We better not be getting soft." Gray said.
"Don't take it too personal." Sasha said. "The way they were attacking, it was more like they were trying to keep us at bay rather than winning. I'm more concerned that they were able to steal the necklace."
"Nashi, you doing okay?" Storm asked.
"I'll be fine." Nashi said.
"Seriously? You all let the guildhall get trashed around again?" All of them looked to the entrance and saw Laxus returned.
"Dad! You're back!" Nova said.
"Yeah, but it looks like I missed something. What happened?" Laxus said. That was when they all told him what happened and about the necklace. "I see. So it would stand to reason that these guys are after the weapon."
"We've got to try and go after them." Drake said. "I could hear that Bazal guy's thoughts and I'm telling you that he's up to no good."
"If they're really after the weapon, we need to find it." Simon said.
"Mom, does that book say anything about where that weapon is?" Gale asked.
"It does. It's actually sealed away. Ironically it's sealed near Lotus City." Levy said. "That must have been the reason they were there, but there's something else you guys should know. That weapon is sealed away and the necklace is also the key to unlocking the seal."
"Sealed away? Why would that be?" Simon said.
"That's the other thing you guys should know." Levy said. "The weapon was sealed because of how destructively powerful it is. It actually has the power to destroy an entire kingdom." That information gave a small scare to everyone. Bazal held the key to the destruction of so much.
