White Eclipse

Chapter 10

"Natsu!"

Lucy misses the edge, and was about to plummet until he reached his arm out and caught her.

"I got you."

Everyone but Juvia and Jaxon stop and look over at the ledge as Lucy was being pulled up..by Luke Cloud.

"T-thanks!" Lucy said in a sigh of relief. "I thought I was a goner."

"Well, don't mention it." The copy Mage smiled as he was sitting down in the snow with Lucy in front of him. "I'm just glad I was able to catch you."

Natsu comes sliding in late, his face planted in the snow until he looks up at Lucy.

"Oi! Lucy! Are you okay!?"

She nodded. "Hai. Luke saved me."

"But.." Natsu blinked in confusion as he looked at Luke. "Why?"

"Why!?" Luke was lost at the question. "We aren't bad guys or anything. You followed us here for a fight so you got one. Sure there are some here that are more brutal than others, like Reve and arc-"

"Reve!" Natsu cuts Luke off as he turns back to the Guns Mage that shot Erza right through the shoulder.

Reve looks over at Natsu with his sniper rifle still hanging on his shoulder. "You got a problem kid? Don't enter a fight if you can't handle the consequences."

Natsu begins walking towards Reve with the most angered look in his eyes. Reve just stands there, smirking as Natsu came closer and closer.

"Wait for me, Salamander." Gajeel, over to the right starts ripping apart the iron platform that Zalen created a bit ago with his teeth, swallowing it down. Iron scales begin to form over the Iron Dragon Slayer. "You'll pay for that."

Reve simply averts his eyes to Gajeel now, still smirking. "Arc, if you please."

"I know what to do. Don't rush me."

Arc speaks as a giant pitch black magic circle appears, causing the entire area to shake vigorously. Everyone holds their ground, Luke pulls Lucy away from the edge just in case of a repeat of the ground breaking. All eyes were on Arc.

"Arc stop!" Taya screams from near the guild. "You're not this person anymore! I thought you got rid of this magic anyways! It was just a fight, there's no need for this!"

All of Fairy Tail looks at Taya as she yells at Arc, confused to what's about to happen.

Arc simply looks over at Taya with his head tilted back and smiles.

She tries again. "Arcturus! I know how much fun it was, I know you miss it! But we aren't in that guild anymore! Do NOT do this!"

"What is she yelling at him for? What's he about to do?" Gray stayed seated, dumbfounded as the area's shaking picked up.

Everyone continued looking on until Arc lifted his right arm up to his bandages that covered his eyes.

"Right. Lets do this."

Arc tugs on the bandages, but before he could take them off, a hand was placed on his shoulder. This freezes Arc on the spot. Reve and the rest of White Eclipse stand there wide eyed and even shaking. Arc even twitches a bit from so many facts. The fact that he's standing in the magic circle with no problem. And the fact of who it was now behind him. All of Fairy Tail look on as well, still trying to figure out the big deal.

"Drop the circle. The fight is over, Fairy Tail lost."

Arc snaps out of his twitch and snarls a bit, but he drops the magic circle and the area stops shaking. He also drops his hand and doesn't take off the bandages.

Reve continues to tremble bit by bit as he looks on. "Sidney.."

"Sidney?" Natsu looks back in confusion as he stares at the mage that stood behind Arc. The mage had ghostly white hair, black eyes and a pointed nose. His mouth was covered by a big red scarf. His pale skin dawned a black sleeveless shirt, showing the skinny physique that had Fairy Tail wondering why everyone feared him. His black pants had another red scarf wrapped around his waist. The end of the scarf flailing off due to the wind. Black boots covered his feet.

"Everyone go home." Sidney spoke aloud. "The red haired girl needs treatment. And you won't find it here."

Gajeel looks on, the longer Sidney stood there, the more eerie he became. Gajeel begins to get a chill down his spine from staring at the Mage. "Who is that guy?"

Everyone.. "Zalen speaks as he fixes his glasses, keeping his eyes off of Sidney. "Meet the SS class Mage of White Eclipse...and my brother. Sidney Castle."

"SS!? Like Gildarts!?" Natsu was now in a frenzy of panic. He stared at Sidney as he tried to gather what just went on, chills now going down his spine.

Juvia now walks back to the group with Erza draped over her shoulder. Gajeel takes her from there.

"Once again. White Eclipse is done with this fight." He looks around at his guildmates. "I expect all of you to stop the fighting for the day. Aira, show them the way out so they don't get lost."

"H-Hai." The blonde hair Mage bowed. She then ran over to the group and bowed again. "Whenever you're ready."

"This isn't over!" Natsu yelled out. Gray limps over, grabbing Natsu by the shoulder. As Natsu looks back, he merely shakes his head. Natsu looks over at the passed out Erza, and then doesn't say another word, as he follows Aira along with everyone else, out of the snowy mountains.

Reve was grinning as they left,

But as he turned to walk back to the guild, a hard "SLAP!" Was heard as his face now had a red hand mark on his cheek. In shock he held his face and looked down at Tayakata.

"Stop corrupting Arc. In fact, don't ever go near him again without someone around. He could of killed everyone here." Before Reve could respond, Taya was already walking off back inside the guild.

Waiston screams out as he runs back to the guild, everyone else walking back inside as well. "Looks like someone's sleeping in his room tonight!"

"You know who we're missing?" Zalen looks around not seeing Kuro at all. "Where did Kuro go?"

"They aren't gonna be mad for you ditching them during a fight are they?" A black haired mage inside of White eclipse sat next to Kuro. He had on a black jacket over a red undershirt. Black pants and shoes. Over his pants were two knee braces.

"I'm sorry Zain, but the noodles! They were calling me!" Kuro smiles happily with love in his eyes as he spins some noodles into his chop sticks and blows on them. He then slurps them up. Upon swallowing, his eyes light up in amazement. "Why fight when you can eat noodles!"

Zain just smiles, resting his head on his hand while watching Kuro enjoy his noodles. "I hope no one is too injured from he scuffle outside." The mages walk in as he says so. Zain turns to view them all. "They look okay. No work for me today then, that's good."

Reve scoffs at Kuro.

"I knew this is what you were doing. Eating noodles. I miss the old Kuro."

"There you go again! Stop!" Taya shouted. "Why would you want that?"

"Hey you need to relax. I'm just saying. There's nothing wrong with a bad side. Right Kuro?"

Kuro was way too busy eating to even listen to what was going on. "I wonder how many flavored of noodles there are in the world."

After a second of silence. Everyone in the room falls over from the fact he was too into noodles to listen to the arguing.

"Okay, what if we find a flavor mage, and we can-"

"Tak..one bite." Selene takes a fork, and stabs it in the pie. "It's cherry. Just one bite."

"...fine." Takeru takes the pie, and hesitantly lifts the fork and places it on his tongue. A couple seconds of nothing past. Then, out of nowhere, Tak was seen in the corner of the kitchen huddled up with the pie steadily eating it. "Mine, no one else's..."

Selene falls over, but then can't help but smile as she watches Takeru devour the pie. "That kid.."
