Abir awoke suddenly he noticed that he was on a hard wooden surface, he slowly rose from his prone position. As his eyes adjusted to the brightness of his surrounding he was surprised to see that he was in his mother's house again.
'Am I dead? Is mom here?' The Uchiha thought getting up from the floor making his way through the home passing by rooms until he heard the sound of laughter in one behind a closed door.Bursting through the door with years of eagerness to see his mother again to talk to her to hug her.
"MOM!!"
The ninjas excitement quickly turned sour as he spotted the green titaness from the cavern sitting on a couch visuals moved across two screens in front of her as she ate on popcorn. His sudden appearance and declaration brought on a howl of fresh laughter as she pointed at him popcorn flying in the air.
"I would -haha- hope not after what we did last time you were here even I'm not into that!!"
A tick mark quickly grew on the ninjas head at what she suggested.
"WE!!? You forced yourself on me!!" The ninja yelled back shaking his fist at her.
"You seemed to have been enjoying yourself plus it's my price for learning my magic which just saved your life by the way a thank you would go a long way y'know you mortals are so entitled.." The green titaness retorted back with a sassy attitude.
"Tch whatever how did your magic save me the things you taught me last time wouldn't of stopped that blast from killing me.?" Abir scoffed crossing his arms and turning his head away from her.
The last time he was in his mindscape after her abuse of him, she began training him in the ways of her magic. The style was called 'gamma' it allowed the user to form green active burning energy that does great damage, a user could change the shape of this magic using it like tendrils to grab or a laser to blast from a distance or spikes to impale the uses were almost as limitless as his imagination.
Gamma magic also granted enhanced durability (like a dragon slayer) and enhanced regeneration the green embodiment of rage wasn't lying about being like the jinruicki of his world. He had a beserker mode greatly enhancing his strength depending on how much power Shulkie shares with the ninja.
The only downside to this magic was he could channel just five percent of the hulks power at the moment pushing any further left his cells burning. Attaining her power would be a gradual process whenever he used it especially beserker mode it left him tired and vulnerable his body not used to using magical energy after years of just chakra, that's why he didn't use her techniques in the battle against chaos circus they were too high of a level to practice using months old techniques.
"I placed a protective cocoon of my energy around you I call it hard shell you'll be able to use it once you can handle 15 percent of my power at 50 percent it becomes nigh unbreakable unless the strongest of attacks hit it." The spirit explained before returning back to whatever she was doing before he came in.
Abir simply nodded his head in understanding his long legs carried him to the couch that the titaness was sitting on he turned his eyes towards what she was watching and still giggling at. On one screen scenes of his memory played on it the first time he kissed a girl was rolling the then much younger shinobi accidentally head butted her knocking the girl down into a pond that was the backdrop of that moment she immediately dumped him after she got out storming off as other kids laughed at him. The other screen was filled with the red color tint of skin which was odd.
"Hahaha wow for someone so "smooth" you were hopeless as a kid" the titaness laughed out using finger quotes on the word smooth.
Gritting his teeth in anger and embarrassment Abir sighed calming himself down it was no use getting angry at her he'd lose a fight in .5 seconds and that's with her being generous. 'I won't let her get to me I won't let her get to me' he repeated to himself in his head as the sadist continued to flicker through his memories.
"What's the deal with the other screen and where am I? Have you been paying attention to that or just goofing off!!?" The ninja asked the lady in a aggravated voice he tapped his foot in annoyance. Why did he have to get stuck with this freeloading bimbo.
"That's what the other screen is for dummy I thought Uchiha were supposed to be geniuses or something must be that other half In you" Shulkie taunted Abir some more, said ninja had smoke coming out of his ears as his anger caused the female spirit to get even more enjoyment from her taunts before replying smartly. "For your information you are currently trapped inside a card being transported to the magic council as we speak the group of mages from earlier found and apprehended you."
"Just Great!!! Alright well help me bust out I can't get locked up here I've got to find a way home—" Abir said punching his fist into his palm he started preparing to leave his mindscape.
"NOO!" She hulk said
"What! you're fucking joking right?!" The Uchiha questioned in exasperation he was about to lose it
"No" she repeated again with more emphasis.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO! YOU'VE SEEN MY MEMORIES YOU KNOW WHAT I MUST DO!!"
The shinobi shouted ignoring all previous thoughts of constraint and safety he moved in front of the sitting spirit hovering over her in a threatening manner the intimidation didn't last long as the titaness rose to her feet returning the favor she looked down on the man as she spoke again.
"I don't care Mortal, as cute as I think you are you'd be wise to remember who and what you are speaking to." Her eyes glowed a menacing green as she continued to speak "You really think I'd allow you to go to another world leaving me stranded across dimensions and without a physical body once your pathetic mortal life ended... how foolish of you like I said before we're stuck together."
Abir gritted his teeth so hard he could feel them begging for mercy his sharingan activated on its own as his veins pulsed with righteous fury as he looked upon the green bitch denying him his revenge his closure.
"I...will... find... a way to be rid of you mark my words!" the Uchiha spat out his words slowly each syllable seething with anger.
"I'm sure you will love. now leave me your presence has ruined my mood!" Shulkie said in a patronizing tone and a wave of her hand a force pulled Abir backwards in a blur the titantess dissappeared along with his house.
He came back to in a dark area tinted with red just like the screen in his mindscape had shown him. He could hear the sounds of a busy town's square and the jostling of armor indicating that Erza was close by. He overheard them talking about the reward for turning him in and about a magazine called sorcerer's weekly. They debated about their rankings among the guilds in terms of beauty and strength Mira and Erza if he was right on the voices argued over the redheads number 1 spot ahead of the white haired woman. Juvia seemed to be talking to an uninterested Cana about the unfairness of her gray-sama not being higher up, if her grunts of yeah or un huh Were a indicator.
'That fucking bitch Shulkie I'll just have to try to blast out of here on my own' Abir thought to himself unsheathing his sword and started swinging away at the corners he saw of the card he was in and the reddish pink view he had of the world beyond he wasn't confident with his plan but it was all he had he didn't have dimensional magic or jutsu.
After a few minutes of swiping he heard a yelp of pain from his last stab he had put every damn thing he had in that. His view changed from enclosed to the townsquare around him everything looked so big from his perspective inside the card.
"HEY!! Watch who your poking with that thing!!" A Giant purple eye loomed over his card causing him to yell in a surprisingly unmanly manner landing on his ass, followed by the full face of Cana who was holding his card in front of her an angry expression on her face her free hand massaged her generous chest.
'Oi I was in there...YOSH this is just like chapter 22 of Icha icha mini adventure' blood shot out of Abir's nose as he fist pumped the air in pervy paradise seemingly forgetting his current predicament.
"Abir desist from harming my colleagues or I'll make you am I clear? We are in the magic capital they might decide to add more time because of that if they saw!" Erza said sternly her face knocking Cana's out of his view earning a cry of ouch from the brunette.
"Then let me OUT DAMNIT!! Weren't we supposed to have a rematch after I saved the town from certain death I didn't take you for a liar that's what I get for trying to be a decent guy life in prison.!" Abir yelled out from the card swinging his sword again and shooting blue flames out of the card that were huge inside but nothing more than the size of a lighter's flame coming out of the card doing no damage to the card or Erza.
A flash of light and the red haired woman pointed her blade at the man the swords tip merged into the card almost bisecting the ninja as he avoided its giant deadly tip.
"Am I clear!?" Erza's eyes seemed to glow red and her hair raised up defying gravity itself as her gaze pored down upon the shinobi.
"Aye sir!!!!" Abir screamed out scared for his life not knowing where that saying came from but it seemed quite appropriate in this situation. Somewhere far off at the guild of fairy tail natsu and happy felt a shift in the air as tears began to roll down their faces.
"I feel sorry for whoever angered Erza let us mourn whoever this fallen soul was!" Natsu said solemnly somehow already in funeral clothes.
"Aye sir"! Happy said as they both had their heads beside each other as if In prayer.
Titania,the demon ,Juvia,and Cana arrived at the magic council building the same exquisite decor surrounded them as it did Erza's last two times. As they made their way through the halls rune knights saluted them and the worker frogs bowed. Word had gone out about the capture of the highest ranked rouge mage in the country the rune knights who mourned the deaths of their comrades eagerly awaited the day they could see the piercing flame known as Abir in chains or executed.
As they arrived in the room of the sentencing and hearing the group noticed all the councilors were in their spots and ready this was a day they too had been waiting for the acquisition of a powerful tool and the removal of a thorn in their sides the rouge mage while free tarnished the image that they could handle all mages with his capture that image was restored again.
The FairyTail mages were guided to the speaking floor in front of the council the head member a older gentleman with a flowing long beard banged a gravel silencing the chatter in the chamber.
"Please if you would ladies, tell us how you managed to capture this mage? We've heard reports but as always we'd love to hear from the source" Gran doma spoke with the elderly man looked down from his seat with interest as did the others.
The group of fairy tail mages told their stories of their experiences tracking him down to finding him in Veyaz to him saving the town and them from chaos circus' unison raid which allowed them to capture him easily as he was injured and unconscious.
"Thank you madams very much, would you please release him from the card,fellow saints stay ready he'd be foolish to try anything but never underestimate a desperate man." The old man Gran doma spoke again.
With the command given, Cana spoke a incantation before throwing Abir's card onto the ground it glowed a golden color as it faded the shinobi appeared before all of them.
"Finally we meet the infamous Piercing Flame oh how we've waited for this very hour. Yes we know you well by that name indeed. The S class terrorist threat that takes the law into his own hands seemingly targeting only dark guilds but has also murdered Rune knight members of our own forces trying to bring you in for questioning and for your crimes of property damage, murder, vigilantism,torture you are found guilty in the eyes of the council but for the sake of the law speak your peace."
An old tall man addressed Abir who was stretching fresh from his imprisonment every eye following his body ready to strike at a moments notice.
The dreadlocked shinobi stopped his movements his eyes quickly scanned the situation. In front of him was a raised platform the old man was at its center with his weird hat and all. The only other members worth mention were a blue haired man around his age that he recognized not from his memories but Erza's and a young dark purpled haired woman with a rather alluring frame. Looking to his side he spotted Erza and her team looking on warily Erza more so than the others as they briefly made eye contact.
"Simple I'm not of this world why should I be held accountable to laws I wouldn't have knowledge of?" The ninja asked voice steady.
"Yes yes Titania explained as much a year ago and if further crimes weren't committed after you gained knowledge of this world via Erza's memories your line of reasoning would hold true and we would've evaluated your memories and let you off rather easily considering two man did die upon your arrival by your hand you would of hit the jackpot in terms of sentencing." The old wizard took a pause as he sighed gathering his breathe again he finished "But alas you dissappeared only reappearing leaving a trail of destruction and bodies of dark wizards who though were guilty of crimes shouldn't have been slaughtered without facing the law. You killed 2 more knights and severely injured several others on your escapes from capture. Was returning so important that you would take so many lives so recklessly for your own selfish desires?"
Muttering could be heard in the chambers as the head councilman Gran doma described the details of some of his attacks upon the dark guilds, the mood in the room darkened drastically. The FairyTail members couldn't believe that the man that had helped them also had so much blood on his own hands, the same man that saved a whole town's lives had a small village worth of dark mage bodies under his belt. Everyone of them eyed him like a dangerous animal except Erza her eyes held a determination in them and a kind understanding.
The scarlet haired woman knew that what he did was horrible, but she also saw how gruesome his world was children raised to be killers before they hit puberty. To him he probably felt like he did them all a favor by disposing of those evil freaks in such a permanent way. She knew that the current path he was walking on was a tight rope he struggled to balance on, between light and dark one strong push in either direction and he would do great things for the world or a menace to it.
Abir smiled at her subtle gesture before replying matter of factly.
"Figured that out all by yourself!?
The old wizard Gran doma twitched as he held his professional appearance together pressing his hands together he sighed to himself as if trying to tell the chamber he was going to regret his next words.
"Like I said earlier you're a lucky man. We need a spy that can infiltrate The Alvarez kingdom's forces their mages and armies are so powerful that if not for our technological prowess with our own weapons we'd all be under their rule."
Abir's eyebrows raised up at what he said already knowing what he wanted him to do.
"You want me to go under deep cover in a hostile kingdom, infiltrate their ranks gathering information I figure you could already do that with one of your own men it'd be a hell of a waste if they got caught though. With me on the other hand I'm untraceable an unknown relative to the world I'm powerful I can quickly climb up into their higher ranks none of your previous spies could get to and if I somehow fail well you guys can wipe your hands fairly clean possibly not starting a war. Am I correct?"
The shinobi finished his speech he wasn't a Nara by no means but the Halfblooded Uchiha had a quick mind that could keep up with one better than most. His face grew a large smirk as he saw some of the council members fuming from his smugness and his reading of the situation so easily.
"You would be correct boy here's the deal you will be placed into the custody of this council subject to a term of two years as an informant if upon completion you return to Fiore you will be under the supervision of FairyTail for as long as you still draw breathe if they were to cease to exist or if you or them fell into bad standing with the council you will be our little prison dog only allowed freedom to do our bidding. You should thank Titania for arguing on your behalf she bargained her whole career as a mage on you hope you don't disappoint her chamber dismissed!!" Gran doma taps a javel down indicating that the proceedings were finished.
Abir was placed in restraints as officials moved about the room many leaving grumbling about the fact that justice wasn't served and how he should be underneath the cell. Erza approached him slowly her red hair swayed from the breeze of her movements as she made her way standing in front of him. Brown eyes met sky blue as they both looked at each other for a moment.
"Why?" Abir asked quietly "Why would you put your dream your whole life on the line for me?"
She touched his shoulder smiling gently at him before replying "All it takes to change a persons life is a helping hand reaching down to help them up. I believe in you, In what I saw when our memories merged. No one should of gone through what you went through but you can't keep chasing ghosts Mikasa wouldn't want you living a life like this and you know it!"
Abir visibly froze at the mention of his late mother's name it was so strange hearing it spoken aloud, it had been years since he heard it the ninja sighed to himself before speaking again
"How can you have so much faith in me killing that man is what I've lived for...to avenge my family I have to... how do you know I won't betray your trust first chance I get?!" Abir asked his voice a low whisper filled with conflicting emotions.
"I don't know that, not for sure atleast it's true I've only known you for a year and even then we've only interacted twice no longer than a hour at most you're not wrong questioning why I feel this way" the scarlet haired mage continued her voice growing softer "but when our memories connected I felt like I'd grown up right next to you experiencing all your emotions flowing through me like I've known you my whole life and if that happened to me it must of happened to you and how you saved all of us in Veyaz you didn't have to, you could of easily escaped and left us on our own but you didn't you did the right thing. I know you've had to walk in the dark for such a long time going after your goals why not give the light a chance as well it's only fair."
Erza finished her speech she noticed that she was still clutching the stunned man's shoulder rather tightly and she had closed the distance between them even more with her impassioned words. The mage quickly removed her hand coughing into it her face turning read slightly. Two frog men and two other Rune knights arrived to process the man and get his sentence started. As they began to move him Abir turned back to Erza speaking for the last time for the next two years.
"Thank you! you've given me a lot to think about I'll be seeing you Red" The Uchiha said with a twinkle in his eye as he turned around allowing himself to be lead out of the room.
Erza didn't realize she had been standing looking after him for too long until a familiar voice caused her to jump.
"Titānia of FairyTail falling for a criminal who would of thought?" The blue haired twin of Jellal spoke beside her putting a arm around her shoulder in a flirting manner he was quickly shrugged off he chuckled "What am I too upstanding of a man to be seen with you first Jellal now Abir you got a thing for bad boys?"
"Whatever seagrien what did you want it?" Erza asked in annoyance she hated her interactions with the councilor she was never convinced that he was who he said he was his mannerisms were exactly like Jellal's were.
He raised his hands in mock surrender "Hey now! is it a crime for a councilor to congratulate the mage that brought them a powerful new asset that'll help the country." siegrin said with a smirk.
Erza scoffed at the man not bothering to reply with words. Angry that they saw him as nothing but, a tool somethings didn't change no matter the world she thought when it came to governments before heading over to where she saw her guild mates exit and who were surely waiting on her.-
