Chapter 2
X784
Far up in the northern part of the country of Fiore which was covered in snow and ice. A few snow covered mountains stood tall in the large expanse of snowy lands. It was extremely cold as snow fell from above and cold winds blew everywhere. Suddenly a large pillar of red-orange flames shot upwards, moving even higher than the mountains and the heat of the flames melted most of the surrounding snow and ice.
The source of the flames was a young man who was slightly panting, his breath materializing as a misty cloud in front of him due to how cold the place was. He wasn't wearing a shirt showing off his lean but also muscular build with well toned and compressed muscles and had bandages wrapped around both arms from above his wrist to just below his elbows and black wrist bands on both wrists. He was wearing white slightly baggy pants and black sandals. He looked around 18 years of age and stood at a height of 5'7. He had untamed and wild spiky pink hair and onyx eyes and a scarf that looks like scales on his neck. He also has a large scar that went diagonally from the left side of his chest to his right abdomen.
"Huff…okay I think that's enough for today…" He says as he falls on his butt onto the snowy ground and rests his palms on the snow. "Man, I overdid it today."
"You sure did Natsu." Another voice says from behind him, this one deeper. The now identified Natsu turns his head to face the man. The man is a tall man standing a height of 6'5 with red spiky hair and red eyes. He had a muscular and slightly bulky build. He is wearing a long sleeved black muscle shirt, brown pants and black combat boots with a dark blue cloak on his back. He also has a scar over his left eye. "Though I have to say you've certainly improved quite a lot Natsu."
"I know that Hakuto-sensei. But…is it enough to beat him?" Natsu asks, mostly to himself as he looks at his right hand. He clenches it to form a fist before flames engulf it. The flames of his father Igneel. 'It's been three years since that day. Three years since he left the guild to seek revenge, abandoning everyone, and I was too weak to stop him. I've trained hard and I've certainly gotten way stronger but am I strong enough to beat him?' "Who knows?" Hakuto says with a shrug. "Your friend's obviously been doing his own training and has gotten stronger as well. We'll only know once you two duke it out. But…" He says before placing his hand on Natsu's head. "I'm sure you'll be able to get through to him."
"Yeah, you're right." Natsu says with a nod before smiling. "I'll bring him back no matter what!" He declares. 'I ain't giving up on you Ken.'
"Well, we gotta get a move on kid." Hakuto says. "We still got some places to be."
"Right. I'll get ready." Natsu states with a nod.
Unknown Location, Few Days Later
"Shit, who the hell was that guy? He just took out the others like they were nothing!" A man with brown messy hair says as he hid behind a tree and he was shaking in fear. He had just watched his friends get killed easily by someone they had tried to gang up on him and rob him. "I have to get outta this forest before he finds me."
"Well, too bad for you. I already have." A male voice says.
"Wha-" The man was then cut off as a he got stabbed by a sword from behind through the heart. The man coughs up blood before collapsing to the ground dead as the sword is pulled out of his body.
"You bandits never learn." Ken says as he wipes the blood off his sword. It had a purple hilt with a black blade. He then sheaths it in a purple sheath that was hanging on his belt. The sword hidden by his slightly tattered cloak. "Okay, there's a train station not too far from here. I should get on a train." He says to himself before smirking as he remembers how a certain pink haired dragon slayer always hated vehicles and would throw up in one. "He really was pathetic." He says as he heads towards the train station.
After reaching there and getting a ticket to board a train he walks into one of the trains compartments and settles on a seat in the train. He places his sheathed sword on his lap and decides to take a nap since it would be a while before the train stops.
Unknown Desert Area
A vehicle could be seen speeding through the desert in high speeds. This vehicle is called the magic wheeler, a form of transportation that uses the magical energy of the driver or a mage to fuel it. The more magic power pumped into it, the faster it goes and by the speed at which this one was going, the one pumping the vehicle must have a massive amount of magic power.
"Yahoo!" A voice exclaims from the vehicle as it bumped on a few rocky parts of the road slightly lifting it up before landing dangerously down on the ground. The owner of the voice was a beautiful female that looks around her early 20's and around a height of 6 feet with long wavy orange hair that goes down to just past her shoulders, brown eyes and tanned skin. She had a rather curvaceous and slightly muscular body with D sized breasts. She is wearing a short sleeved orange shirt with orange long gloves that go right past her elbow, a black short skirt that stops right above her knees and long orange stockings with black shoes. She had a grin on her face as she continued to drive fast and wildly.
"Haha! This is so much fun! Right Lucita?" She asks as she looks to her right to see another female sitting there with her arms crossed and eyes closed. She is a beautiful woman that looks to be in her late 30's and an inch or two shorter than the orange haired woman with fair skin, long dark purple hair tied in a pony tail and red lipstick on her lips. She has a body that most women would die for with large sized breasts and a rather voluptuous body.
She is wearing a long sleeved buttoned shirt with the sleeves folded to her elbow with fingerless gloves on both hands. She is wearing a white skirt and black sandals. She is also wearing a white cape with purple outline and has a sheathed katana on her lap. The katana had a purple handle. The woman, identified as Lucita, opens her eyes to reveal them to be red in colour and looks at the orange haired girl with an annoyed expression.
"I don't understand what you see fun in driving dangerously, Himiko. And how many times do I have to tell you to call me 'Mistress' or at least 'Lucita-sama'." Lucita says.
"Of course this is fun. Living dangerous and wild is fun, Lucita!" The now identified Himiko says with her grin still on her face. Lucita sighs, already used to this by now.
"Just hurry up so we can get to where we're supposed to go." The purple haired beauty says.
"And where's that?" Himiko asks causing Lucita to widen her eyes in shock before yelling. "You mean you've been driving for the past three hours without knowing where we're supposed to go!"
"…Yeah?"
"Grr! Hotu Town! We're supposed to be going to Hotu Town!"
"Oh yeah. Now I remember."
"Just drive!"
"Hai Lucita!"
"Call me Mistress!"
"Hai Lucita!"
"Urggh!"
Magic Council Headquarters, Era
In one of the offices in the magic council headquarters, a young man could be seen doing paperwork. The man had blue hair and a red tattoo above and under his right eye. He wore a long white frock-coat with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated standing collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front of a dark shirt and matching pants and shoes. He also wore a medallion around his neck which is only worn by one of the ten Wizard Saints, signifying his status as one of them. This is Siegrain. A member of the magic council.
He had a smirk on his face as he worked on the papers before he hears a knock on his office door. "Come in." Siegrain says not looking up from his paper work. The door then opens and a beautiful pale skinned woman walks in.
She has dark purple hair and red eyes with long black hair. She has a rather voluptuous figure and she is wearing a long revealing dress with striped patterns on it.
"Ultear? What brings you here?" Siegrain asks the now identified Ultear, who is another member of the magic council. The woman closes the door behind her. "Just came to see what you were up to. I never expected it to be paperwork." She states with a sly grin on her face.
"Well there's nothing else to do at the moment. Unless you have something interesting for me to do." He says as he looks at her.
"Unfortunately for you no. Though you seemed pretty happy before I came in here. Any reason why?" She asks and Siegrain regains the smirk he had earlier on his face. "Well if you must know, the Tower's almost complete."
"It is?" Ultear asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. Just a few more months and it'll be ready. Then once I find a suitable sacrifice, then Lord Zeref will be brought back." The blue haired man declares.
"You say it like you don't already have someone in mind as your sacrifice." Ultear comments with a smirk. Siegrain's own smirk then turns dark. "Why of course Ultear. I already have someone in mind for it."
Ultear nods already knowing who it was that he planned on using. "Though how do you intend to capture her and get her to the tower?" She asked.
"Oh don't worry about that. I still have time to think of something." He answers as he looks down at his work and continues doing paperwork. "Let's talk later Ultear, I'd like to get back to my work."
"I'll leave you to it then." Ultear nods her head before leaving the office. As she walked down the halls towards her office, she had a dark smirk on her face. She chuckles darkly thinking how the blue haired man thought he was in control not knowing he was just a pawn in her and her master's plans. She then thought back to the conversation she had with the man some days ago.
Flashback
"W-what do you mean it won't work?" Ultear asks the man who she was talking to through the communication lacrima. The person being none other than Master Hades, master of the dark guild, Grimoire Hearts.(If you don't know him, search google or watch Fairy Tail)
"It's exactly as I said Ultear." Hades says simply.
"W-what? Why won't it?" Ultear asks a bit angry at what she was hearing. Hades had just told her that the plan to resurrect Zeref at the Tower of Heaven was never going to work and the years of waiting and building would be in vain.
"That's because he's not dead Ultear. He's alive." He says with a dark grin and Ultear's eyes widen in disbelief once she hears that. Zeref. The Zeref was alive all this time. She then smirks at the thought of finally meeting the man she had wanted to meet for years and hopefully her dream would be fulfilled.
"I see. That's really interesting master. So since the R-system won't work, what should I do about Jellal? He's almost done and both our covers would be blown once he starts his plan." She asks wanting to know what to do about the blue haired man who she had managed to manipulate years ago.
"You'll continue to work with him like you have. This way you can keep me updated in anything interesting you find over there and can also distract them while we continue what we're doing. Also how's your other mission?" The elderly master asks.
"I've been able to keep tabs on him and I must say he is turning into quite the powerful mage. Though how powerful is a different story." She says.
"Do you think he'll be of use to us?" Hades asks.
"Yes. From what I've seen I'm positive of that." The beautiful councilwoman responds.
"Then you know what to do."
"Yes master."
Hades the ends the call and Ultear drops the lacrima before looking out the window of her office with a smirk.
Flashback Over
"It's time we met. Ken Suzuki." She says with a chuckle as she enters her office not noticing the small black creature listening to her and had listened to her and Jellal's coversation before it disappeared into the shadows.
Hargeon Town Train Station
"A-are you okay sir?" A man in the train asks worriedly as he stares at the sickly form of one Natsu Dragneel, who had a rather green face and looked like he was going to throw up any second. He is now wearing a wearing a golden trimmed sleevless black waistcoat that is buttoned up with the same white baggy pants, a red belt around the waist, bandages still wrapped around his arms from just above the wrists to below the elbows and black sandals.
"Y-yeah...I'm...ugh...fine…" The salmon haired boy says weakly before getting on his feet and grabbing his traveling bag and he struggles to walk out the train. As soon as he leaves the train, his face goes back to normal and he didn't feel sick anymore. "Finally out of that death trap." He says before heading towards town.
"Just a few more hours and I'll be back home. Back at Fairy Tail."
Okay that's it for this chapter. This one was not that good to me but if you found it interesting, good for you. Anyway, from next chapter is when the action begins and more details on what happened three years ago will be revealed. We'll also see more of other characters and a few more OC's next chapter.
Anyway till then, Read and Review.
Peace.
