A/N: Forgot to put this in last time, but yes, I did use the Dic Name Maxfield Stanton. However I felt it fit the Fairy Tail 'verse better as there's more western/western sounding names than Japanese ones...

Anyways enjoy!

Chapter 8: Blazing Guns

Makarov was walking to Grey, Mirajane and Erza in his office. This had to be discussed after all.

"So you don't remember anything?" asked Makarov.

"I don't…" said Grey.

"According to Luna a monster came out of his pants and drained his energy." Said Erza.

"Is there another way to explain what happened that doesn't make it sound like he took out his… "said Mirajane but was interrupted.

"This isn't the time to be pointing out these things…" said Makarov.

"Should we tell everyone of the Dark Kingdom's new tactic?" asked Erza.

"Not yet, I want to confirm if they are doing it or not." Said Makarov.

"Seriously!" said Grey.

"Until it happens again." Said Makarov, "We can't confirm that's what their doing."

He looed at Erza and Mirajane.

"You two need to keep an eye out on them." Said Makarov.

"Fine." Sighed Mirajane, "I was the only one who notched the monster's magic."

"My team needs a break after the last job." Said Erza.

"About that…" sighed Makarov, "there's something I'd like to know…"

"Yes…" said Erza.

"How did that drug cartel involved again?" asked Makarov.

"They were complete innocent in it all…" said Erza, "Expect for the fact they were a drug cartel…"

Both Grey and Mirajane sweat dropped at this.

In the main hall, Maxfield was looking at the various people in the guild.

"It's probably best to target those who are going on jobs or those that just went on jobs." He thought, "This way they won't realize I'm doing it from the inside."

That was when he saw Bisca and Alzack, a pair that both specialized in gun magic getting ready to leave for a job.

That was when Maxfield used subtle magic to cause the hat Bisca wore to blow away.

He bent down to pick it up. He placed the mark on it, filling it with the monster's presence.

"Here" Said Maxfield finally picking it up.

"Thanks new guy." Said Bisca.

"I have a name…" he mumbled with a sweat drop.

Both Bisca and Alzack left completely unaware how it would go.

The next day…

Bisca and Alzack arrived back.

"So how did the job go?" asked Lisanna getting them.

"It would have gone better if Alzack didn't screw it up!" yelled Bisca glaring at her partner.

"I'm sorry." He sighed.

"Sorry ain't going to cut it this time…" muttered Bisca.

Everyone in the guild stared at Bisca like she has snakes come out of her mouth.

"What's wrong?" asked Maxfield.

"You're new here so let me explain." Said Cana, "Those two have a thing for each other, but are too shy to admit it."

"I see…" said Maxfield.

"Oh that reminds more…" said Cana, "There's a long term bet going on about which couple will finally confess and start dating. It's either them or Natsu and Lisanna."

"I'll wait…" said Maxfield, "They do seem to be arguing."

"Yeah… it's really not normal…" said Cana.

"It doesn't matter…" said Maxfield, "If she's lucky they're patch things up."

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Cana.

"Nothing…" replied Maxfield.

Cana rolled her eyes at the new member.

However the next day things hadn't gotten better. The two were in opposite sides of the guildhall. Bisca occasionally shooting a glare at Alzack.

Alzack was crying with the air black around him.

"Hey Bisca… what happened exactly?" asked Lisanna.

"None of your business!" snapped Bisca.

Lisanna sighed and decided to talk to Alzack.

"You okay?" asked Lisanna.

"I'm fine…." Said Alzack, "I just don't understand why she's doing it…"

Mirajane was watching Bisca that was when she sensed it.

"The same thing is happening…" she thought.

She nodded at Erza.

Erza walked over to Bisca.

"Bisca since you're getting into a fight with Alzack how would like to join my team for a job…" said Erza.

"I thought your little team was taking a break after your last one went horribly wrong." Said Bisca.

"It didn't go wrong… it just wasn't what everyone expected would happen." Said Erza.

"Seriously?" muttered Bisca, "Like I would even team up with you…"

"What?" asked Erza.

For the second day in a row there was a stunned silence overwhelming the guildhall.

"I've had enough of this!" yelled Bisca, "I'm leaving for the day!"

Bisca left the guildhall.

"Is she serious?" asked Alack.

"It's just like with Grey." Whispered Lisanna.

"What?" Alzack.

"You heard that!" said Lisanna shocked.

He left the guildhall following her.

"Look like we need to follow." Luna whispered to her.

Lisanna nodded.

The four of them left to find Bisca hoping that they would be too late.

Elsewhere in town.

Bisca has stopped in the middle of the road.

"Bisca calm down please." Said Alzack.

"I am calm." She muttered darkly.

She then requiped one of her guns.

"Stand back now!" yelled Bisca.

"Bisca…" said Alzack.

"Stop this now Bisca… I don't know what's going on with you but I want it to stop…" said Alzack.

"Why?" muttered Bisca.

"Because I…"

But before Alzack could finish that, suddenly the mark on Bisca's hat flared up, the monster appeared from it shocking Alzack.

The monster bent down and picked up Bisca's gun.

"Well I minds well get rid of the trash." Said the monster.

"Stop right there!" shouted three voices.

"I am the pretty sailor-suited guardian of love and justice Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon I will punish you!" called out Sailor Moon.

"I am the pretty sailor-suited guardian of love and intelligence Sailor Mercury! Douse your head in water and repent!" called out Sailor Mercury.

"I am the pretty sailor-suited guardian of Fire and Passion, Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!" called out Sailor Mars.

There was awkward silence.

"Have you figure out how to get rid of the speeches yet?" said Sailor Moon.

"I tried." Sighed Sailor Mercury.

"But I don't want to get rid of them." Said Sailor Mars.

"Good you're here." Said Alzack.

"Yeah…" said Sailor Moon, "The way to save Bisca is to kill that monster! I killed the one that did the same thing to Grey."

"Okay…" said Alzack.

"Let's do this!" said Sailor Mercury.

"Bubble Spray!"

The monster began to laugh.

"You think that will stop me…" mocked the monster.

The monster proceeded to reequip the gun it had to a sniper Rifle.

"Homing Shot!"

Despite the heavy mist the Monster mange to get the shot in causing an explosion.

"This is bad." Said Sailor Mars managing to get up.

"Just like last time it has all of her magic." Said Sailor Moon.

"Mercury… do you think you can add more fog?" asked Sailor Mars.

"That won't help." Said Sailor Mercury.

"It will… trust me." Said Sailor Mars.

Sailor Mercury's eyes widened as she realized what it meant.

Time to use their non-Guardian Magic.

She nodded.

"Bubble Spray!" called out Sailor Mercury.

She proceeded to use Bubble Spray several more time.

"That won't against my magic!" yelled the monster.

However she could barely react when Sailor Mars suddenly showed up with a sword drawn, the monster had no use but to dodge each swipe.

"Really? Close range against me?" asked the monster.

That was when Sailor Mars requiped to twin swords and the attacks became even more relentless.

"She one's much more skilled than I thought…" thought the monster.

That was when Sailor Mars noticed Alzack in the mist, loading his gun.

She immediately jumped away from the monster.

"Oh scared?" mocked the monster.

"Tornado Shot!" shouted Alzack.

The monster turned around but it was too late it was already engulfed in a tornado, which already blew away the mist.

When the tornado died down the monster could barely stand.

"Sailor Moon, now!" said Sailor Mars.

"Right!" said Sailor Moon.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

The glowing discus hit the monster turning it to dust.

"All right." Cheered Sailor Moon.

"Why did you use a heavy mist?" asked Alzack with a sweat drop.

"Reasons." Said Sailor Mars.

"What reasons? Asked Alzack.

"Just reasons." Said Sailor Mars.

Alzack and the other two Sailor Guardians sweat dropped.

That was when Bisca began to regain consciousness.

"What happened?" asked Bisca, "How did we back to Magnolia?"

"Bisca you're all right." Said Alzack running to her side.

"What was that last thing you remember?" asked Sailor Moon.

"I was going on a job but after that…" said Bisca.

Alzack hugged her, "I'm so glad you're back to normal…" he whispered.

"What?" asked Bisca.

The two broke the hug and began to blush.

"You were a victim of the Dark Kingdom…" said Sailor Mars.

"What?" asked Bisca, "When did that happen?"

"We don't know." Said Sailor Moon.

"But you're not the first one." Said Sailor Mercury.

"We have to inform Master Makarov that it happened again." Said Sailor Mars.

The other two Sailor Guardian nodded.

Sometime later Makarov was making a speech to the guild.

"The Dark Kingdom has switched to a new tactic. They are now directly targeting members of this guild. These effects are well known. Grey and Bisca have already been targeted. If any member of this guild begins to act strangely make sure that they are never alone. We don't know when their energy will be drained. I want everyone got extra careful from now on." Said Makarov.

"The dark kingdom?" asked Maxfield.

"They're an enemy the guild recently gained. The only thing we know about them is their name." explained Macao.

"Wow… I joined at the worst time. Didn't I?" asked Maxfield.

"I guess you did." laughed Macao.

Maxfield began to walk away as he did he let out an evil smirk. They knew what he was up to, but they didn't know he was the one causing it. It was going to get a little harder but as long as they didn't see through his plans it was fine… there would always be other ways to do it.

Next Time: After the incident with Bisca most the guild get concerned about a certain bet... what's the bet... well it involves which two will get together first. What sort of hijinks will happen? Or will Nephrite's latest plan ruin it? Find out next time!
