On with the story
Fairy Tail
The defeat of Dimaria brought a wave of cheers for the guild as they were celebrating
"another signal from one of the 12 went out in the south!" Warren exclaimed
"yeah!" Jet cheered
"then that means that there are only seven left!" Droy said while counting with his fingers
"we're doing it! We're winning it!" Nab and Vijeeter celebrated
"these kids are just.." Makarov sighed as everyone was cheering
"what is the matter, First Master?" Makarov asked the spirit who was staring at the map
"the east.." Mavis said "those two markers haven't moved from their exact location at all. Are they waiting for something?"
"my gut is telling me something's wrong"
All of a sudden, the guild's doors were opened and a figure walked in
"oh…nice guild you got here"
It was Jacob, the Assassin of the 12
"the smell of liquor seeps through the wooden panels here… I heard this was an old guild, but you refurbished it" Jacob said while pocketing his hands and walking straight to the guild
"you! Jacob!" Mest exclaimed as he knew the assassin
"yes, I am Jacob Lessio, a member of Alvarez's Spriggan 12" Jacob said with a smirk
"what!?" Max exclaimed,
"how did he!?" Warren exclaimed as he looks at the radar
"oh, those markers don't mean a thing" Jacob told them "there's this incredible wizard named August-san and he and END-sama realized that you all were using radars to track us, so he advised August-sab to make fake markers for me and August-san"
"so, you've come to take all of us on yourself?" Cana said while reaching in her bag for her magic cards
"well, I don't have troops or any underlings for that matter. I don't like to be tied down" Jacob replied "but August-san that wizard I mentioned is coming here too, and so is END-sama"
Jacob then grabs a seat as he sits down "you guys know about Respect about the Aged Day, right?"
He then sees that no one answers him and concluded that none of them know about it "you don't have that in this country, it seems"
"well, in Alakitasia, it's today. It's a special day that reminds us to respect and appreciate and respect the contribution of our elders" Jacob explained "so I came here a little early to lessen the load on August-san's shoulders"
Everyone then felt fear in their hearts as they can tell that Jacob is strong
"how about a drink?" Jacob said as he looks towards Kinana who tensed up "nothing weak, please"
"we don't have any liquor for the likes of you, not one drop." Makarov said as he steps forward
"that's too bad. As a bit of respect for an elder, I thought to share a drink with you in the last moments of your life, but I guess not." Jacob replied as he smirks
"on guard! From what I managed to gather he uses some type of invisibility magic!" Mest said as everyone got on guard
"hmm, looks like you did your homework on me" Jacob said with a smirk as he lifted up his hands in front of his chest
"before you all disappear, I would like to ask you this" Jacob looks around the place before looking back to Makarov
"where are the two children who go by the name of Rose and Mary? END-sama ordered every member of the Alvarez's troops to capture them"
"never!" Makarov shouted "we will never let you take them!"
Makarov then enlarges his right fist as he brought it down on Jacob who clasped his hand together
"oh well" Jacob said before a huge black mist-like fog overtakes everyone
"what the hell!?" Cana exclaimed as she sees everyone disappearing one by one
Everyone disappeared as Mavis was the only one left
"h-he couldn't have" Mavis said in shock as no one was in the guild anymore
"Makarov! Macao! Cana! Where is everyone!?" Mavis called out to everyone but didn't hear any reply
"fuu" Jacob blew out a sigh before looking to where Mavis was at "there's one more… a ghost, huh?"
""nobody outside of Fairy Tail should be able to see or hear me!""
"there" Jacob swing his hand up as an invisible had struck against Mavis causing her to scream in pain
""how!?"" Mavis said before Jacob grasped his hand and Mavis started screaming in pain
"you must be Mavis Vermillion, the Fairy Heart, right?" Jacob said as he continued to torture Mavis
"where is your body? Tell me now and I give your friends back" Jacob said as he approached Mavis "if you don't, I'll kill them all one by one"
"huh?" Mavis said as she looks at Jacob
"those people I vanished, they're at death's door, but they aren't dead yet. They are gonna die if I don't bring them back" Jacob told her
""they're all alive?"" Mavis thought
"their lives are in your hands now" Jacob told her
""if I choose my friends….then I doom the entire world""
""can I really trust this man? What should I do!?""
All of the sudden, Jacob got a kick to the back of the head by Lucy who was wearing her Star Dress: Tarurus Form
"Lucy!" Mavis exclaimed in surprise as to see the Celestial Mage with Milo and the twins
"what happened her, First Master?" Lucy said while keeping an eye on Jacob's movement
"he swept them away somewhere! We have to stop him!" Mavis answered her question as Lucy pulls out Leo's key
"I got it!" Lucy then equips into her Leo Form as she readied herself "give back our friends!"
Jacob got back up from the crashed table as he stands up while holding his kicked head
"how? My magic should have worked on this entire guild!" Jacob said before Lucy and Milo snickered
In the infirmary
Five minutes earlier
Lucy and Milo were at the infirmary as the twins were asleep
Even in a war, they are still children and need their rest
"I wonder how Erza and the others are doing" Lucy said as Milo meowed before the two hears shouting from the guildhall
"what's going on there?" Lucy said before they disappeared and then reappeared inside of Horologium
"here in the nick of time, was I not, Lucy-sama!" Horologium said to Lucy in him
"Horologium!?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise as she, Milo and the twins were in the clock spirit
"-yawn- what's that noise?" Rose asked while naked as the child woke up to the sound of shouting
"still sleepy" Mary said while rubbing her eyes then yawning
"nyau" Milo meowed while having his face smooshed to the glass case
"I felt a warp in the dimension," Horogium said "you ask why you are all completely nude? Because this defensive magic requires it and now you shout that you're packed in like sardines."
Lucy and the others then got out as the Celestial Spirit grabs a blanket to use it to cover herself
"thank you, Horologium" Lucy thanked the clock spirit for saving them as she was helping to put on some clothes on the twins
"It will require some time before I can use this Defensive magic again, so please be careful," Horologium told her before disappearing back into the Celestial Spirit world
"what was that noise we just heard?" Lucy said as she put on her clothes before she hears screaming coming from the guildhall
"is someone screaming?" Mary asked while rubbing her eyes to get rid of her drowsiness
"wait here, you two!" Lucy said as she went out of the infirmary with Milo
"no! we want to help!" Rose said as she followed after Lucy with Mary following by
Present
"let's just say that the stars have blessed me" Lucy said with a grin
"heh, no matter" Jacob said as he grins at Lucy before looking at Rose and Mary
"now my work got more easier, those two must be Rose and Mary" Jacob said as he reached into his vest "they're one of my targets while you're not"
"had you simply vanished like the others. you would've been spared from a world of pain"
He then looks at Mavis and smirked
"I'm changing the condition, I plan to take this girl apart piece by piece, surrender now before it's too late"
He then threw a dagger at Lucy who held up her hands to block
"Lucy-neechan!" "lookout!"
The dagger flies towards Lucy before a wind slash came in and blew the dagger away
"yare yare, I leave the premises for just 5 minutes and this happens" a voice spoke as footsteps were heard from the front guild's door
"nya" Milo meowed with a smile as Ikaruga came in with her Mugetsu Ryu readied
"Ikaruga/-neechan!" Lucy and the others exclaimed
"wha?! Another one!?" Jacob said surprise as Ikaruga stands in front of Jacob with Lucy beside her
"I advise for Rose-han and Mary-han to step back" Ikaruga said as her blade shines when she lifted it up "because our dance will be a bit messy, I say"
Ikaruga slashed her sword upwards and then sideways in a quick pace as four wind slash went flying at Jacob who jumps away to dodge
"a wind based attack?" Jacob said as he started backflipping away when Ikaruga appeared in front of him and nearly sliced his neck off
"haaa!" Lucy runs towards Jacob and tried to kick him but failed as the man grabs her leg and spins around
"wawawawawa!" Lucy shouted while being spin around before she was thrown away towards Ikaruga as the two fell down
"ow" Lucy said as she holds her head and got up with Ikaruga
"where is he?" Ikaruga said as Jacob had suddenly disappeared
"did anyone see where he went to!? Gah!" Lucy said before she got a kick to the back by Jacob who appeared behind her
"I'm right here" Jacob said before he disappeared again
"what the!?" Lucy looks around and sees that Jacob had disappeared again
"be careful! His magic allows him to become invisible!" Mavis warned her comrades before a foot stomped her head down
"First Master!" Lucy exclaimed as it was Jacob
"that's not all. I can also see things that are visible, take this ghost for an example" Jacob said while ignoring Mavis who was struggling under his foot
Ikaruga dashed towards Jacob and slashed her sword but the man turned invisible before her attack could hit
"again?" Ikaruga said before she got punched by Jacob who was still invisible
"he's not gone! We just can't see him! But he's still here!" Lucy said before she summoned Loke
"Loke!" Lucy said as Loke nodded "got it!"
"Shishi Koryo!" Loke creates a bright flash that revealed Jacob's location
"what the!?" Jacob said before Loke went onto the attack
"there!" Loke shouted as he sends a light imbued punch at Jacob
"this guy could be a problem!" Jacob said as he swings his hand back before an unknown force strikes at Loke and sends him crashing back
"Loke!" Lucy exclaimed as Loke got back up
"what was that?" Loke said confused on what just hit him
"heh" Jacob smirks before he swings his hand around fast and dozens of unknown forces attacks Lucy and Ikaruga who were forced to defend
"what's happening?" Rose said as she had no idea what was going on
"is it a weapon?" Mary asked
"an invisible weapon" Mavis said as she looks to the battle
"I can vanish, and make others vanish. I can see the invisible and hide the visible! This is my magic!" Jacob said with a smirk as the man swings his arm at Ikaruga who uses her sword to block but Lucy who was the one who got attack
"Lucy-neechan!" Rose and Mary exclaimed
"did you think that was meant for you? No, it was a whip attack for the girl behind me" Jacob said with a smirk
Ikaruga dashed towards Jacob who suddenly went invisible again
"again?" Ikaruga looks around for the enemy as she can't find him anywhere
Jacob appeared behind Ikaruga while having a smirk on his face
"behind you!" Lucy and the others shouted as Ikaruga turns around and failed to put up a guard
"it's over!" Jacob shouted as he sends his fist at Ikaruga but stopped in the middle
"eh?" Lucy and the others said when they saw why did he stopped
Jacob jumps away as he landed a few feet away from Ikaruga
"have some decency, will you?!" Jacob shouted at Ikaruga
"what's happening?" Rose and Mary asked confused
Everyone then sees how scrunched up Jacob's face was
"why is his face all scrunched up?" Mary asked with Milo meowing
"why else!? How could a man look at such indecent things!" Jacob shouted while not looking
Everyone looks confused before realizing that Ikaruga's clothing was a bit skimpy and her assets were showing all the time
"what's indecent?" Rose said to her twin
"dunno" Mary replied with a confused look
"I don't think you two are old enough to know that yet" Lucy said with a sweat drop before getting an idea
"follow my lead you two" Lucy whispered to Rose and Mary
"Ikaruga! You're showing too much! You're making me jealous!" Lucy shouted out with a smirk as Jacob's jaws dropped
"what are you!?" He said before the shouting continued
"big and soft!" Rose shouted randomly
"like marshmallows!" Mary added in
They continued shouting out indecent things as Jacob scrunched his face while blushing
"how can you all be so indecent!?" Jacob shouted before hearing coughing right in front of him
He opened his eyes and sees Lucy and Ikaruga in front of him
"Yasha Senku!"
"Regulus Lucy Kick!"
The two sends their attack at Jacob as the assassin was sent crashing to the wall
"it worked!" Lucy said with a smirk before she squeaked in fear when Ikaruga's sword was near her neck
"I trust that you will not tell no living soul of this" Ikaruga said as Lucy nodded rapidly
"why you little!" Jacob collected himself as he stands up with a pissed look "you just made this adult angry!"
""that's it! The way to defeat Zeref!"" Mavis thought before seeing Jacob going on the offensive as the assassin disappears and started attacking Ikaruga and Lucy
Ikaruga and Lucy backed their back against each other as they look around for Jacob
"this will get us nowhere" Ikaruga said as Lucy nodded before the two got attacked by Jacob again
"how are we going to defeat someone we can't see!?" Lucy said before she got a punch by Jacob
"you're too naïve" Jacob said as he kicks the two away
He then appears as the man stands up from his crouching position
"remember the 113 members of your guild who I captured? I'm going to kill them, one by one" Jacob told them while clenching his fists
"no! don't!" "please no!" Mavis and Lucy begged him
"you people have pushed this beyong the point of no return!" Jacob told them as Lucy realized something
"wait!" Lucy shouted as it grabs Jacob's attention "it's not just our friends you captured! Brandish was here too!"
"what?!" Jacob said as he lifted his right hand and a swirling black orb appeared in his hand
He looks into it before clicking his tongue
"Brandish and one of her lackeys! Damnit!" Jacob said "if I killed her, I would never hear the end of it from Dimaria. Not much of a choice, huh?"
He then leans his hand forward as Brandish and Marin appeared out of nowhere
"pathetic!" Jacob told them
"Jacob!?" Brandish exclaimed
"thank you for saving us, Jacob-san!" Marin said with a smile before another him appeared
"thank you for saving us, Jacob-san!"
The other Marin said as Marin's jaws dropped
"ehhh!? Me!?" Marin said with his eyes bulging out
"A+" the other Marin said with a smile
"Gemini!" Lucy said as she was wearing her Star Dress: Gemini Form
"piirii pirii" the Twin Spirit said while in the form of Marin
"you're creepy! You are an F-!" Marin said to his copy
"what is this!?" Jacob said
"but wouldn't it better if they copied Mom or any of the others?" Rose said
"no, Gemini can't change someone powerful than Lucy, though.." Mavis explained
"yup! And this is why!" Lucy said
"we make the area rules now! Pikiriii!" the Gemini Marin said as a bright flash appeared
"ah! We have to vanish now!" Gemini said as they disappeared
"and so is my Star Dress, but it's okay!" Lucy said as she was back in her regular uniform
"My Transport is!" Jacob exclaimed in shock
"that just reversed all Spatial Magic in our vicinity! And in other words!" Lucy said as everyone started returning
"d-damnit!" Jacob shouted as Makarov and the others were back
"all of our friends are back again!" Lucy said as everyone cheered for her
"sure saved our butts there" "we're finally outta there!" "nice!" "that's our Lucy!" "we're back!" "yaay!"
"that's amazing, Lucy!" Mavis complemented the blonde mage
Jacob gritted his teeth before he spreads his arms out
"oh for! No matter! I'll just do it again! You're all going to! *Squish*" Jacob said before he felt something squishy in the palm of his hands
He looks at his hands and sees that he was holding Milo
"meow" Milo meowed before claws appeared on his paws
SWIPE! SWIPE!
"OWWWW!" Jacob screamed in pain as he had scratched marks on his face while holding his face
Mavis smirks as Milo runs away
"you sure did a number on our First Master!" Makarov said as he had an angered look "you said that this is Respect for the Aged Day?!"
His body then started to enlarge as Jacob looks at the now giant man
"well, she's the one you're supposed to respect the most!"
Makarov punches his giant fist at Jacob as he destroyed the guild's wall in the process in doing so
""I'm in my mid-twenties, actually!"" Mavis said in tears
"Makarov-dono" Ikaruga called out to Makarov as she held her sword up "if you please"
Ikaruga jumps up onto Makarov's giant hand as the giant throws her towards where Jacob was flying
"will she be okay?" Warren said as he looks afar
"we should get a boat ready" Max said
"we're on it!" Jet and Droy said
Ikaruga flies in the air as she readied her Mugetsu Ryu
"Mugetsu Ryu" Ikaruga clenched the hilt of her sword tight as she slowly pulls it out
Jacob saw her as she was about to attack him
"Karura En!"
Ikaruga slashed her sword at Jacob as a flaming phoenix flies towards Jacob and burns him away
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhh!"
He screams in pain before he crashed into the water with Ikaruga
Jacob floated up the water, knocked out while Ikaruga floated up the waters before seeing Jet and Droy on a boat, rowing it towards her
Ikarugs smiles as she swam towards the boat where Jet helps her up before the two rows back to the guild
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
