Chapter 10: Hidden Secrets
Maxfield looked at the request board. Trying to figure, which would be a good one to put him out for a few days, he had a plan. After all a certain member of the guild was there.
Warren was a ember who's specialty was telepathy.
"Hey, you're the new guy, right?" asked Warren.
"Yeah, Maxfield Stanton." Said Maxfield.
That was when Maxfield dropped a pen without noticing. He grabbed a job and approached the master.
"Hey you dropped it." Said Warren holding the pen.
"Oh how about you keep it." Said Maxfield.
"You sure?" asked Warren.
"It's only a pen." Replied Maxfield with a shrug.
Turns out the pen already had the mark. Indeed Warren was Maxfield's next target.
Sometime later, Maxfield was walking to the town where the job was. Thankfully the town was within walking distance.
"So you're taking a job." Said Zoisite appearing, "Eh… Maxfield?"
"Please call me that." Muttered Maxfield (as he was still in disguise).
"I've been watching you… you seem to get comfortable in the guild." Said Zoisite.
"It's called being undercover." Replied Maxfield.
"And why are you taking a job?" asked Zoisite.
"I have many reasons." Said Maxfield, "One of them being that I don't want to seem to be the new Nab."
"What?" asked Zoisite.
Nab was a member who only took a job only if his powers would be useful…
Because of that he was notorious for never taking a job.
"Did you just make an inside joke?" asked Zoisite.
Maxfield didn't respond and just kept walking.
Zoisite glared at him then teleported away.
Back at the Guild Hall, Natsu was looking over Jobs.
"You're going to take a job?" asked Lisanna walking over to him.
"Yeah." Said Natsu, "I'm running low on funds."
"I see." Said Lisanna.
"You're still worried about it? Aren't you?" asked Natsu.
"A little …" said Lisanna.
"I mean if I was able to keep the fact you got lost hidden all these years…" said Natsu.
Lisanna sweat dropped, it was something that happened when they were kids, no one ever found out about it.
"It will be fine don't worry." Said Natsu, "Come on Happy!"
"Aye!" said Happy.
Lisanna watched them leave.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he can keep it secret." Said Luna appearing behind her.
"Yeah…" agreed Luna.
"So you and Natsu have gotten closer." Said Mirajane approaching her.
"What?" asked Lisanna.
"There's something going on between you two." Said Mirajane.
"Nothing's going on!" said Lisanna blushing.
"Oh really?" asked Mirajane with an evil smirk.
"I sweat it's nothing." Said Lisanna.
Luna sighed.
A few days later Natsu and Happy came back.
"Hey! I'm back!" cheered Natsu.
Most of the guild cheered.
"Natsu!" yelled Grey who was in the mood for a fight.
However he forgot that Erza was there.
"You two going to start something?" asked Erza.
"Not at all! I just wanted to welcome my best friend back!" said Grey.
"Aye!" said Natsu.
Natsu looked at Lisanna who trying not to laugh at the situation.
"You liiiiike her." Said Happy.
"Shut it." Muttered Natsu.
That was when Warren walked in to.
"Hey Warren." Said Happy.
Warren glared at Happy.
"Geez, what's your problem!" Yelled Happy
"That was weird." Said Natsu.
Through out the day, Warren mostly kept to himself.
However this behavior was something Mirajane noticed.
"So it's Warren this time." Said Elfman.
"Yeah." Said Mirajane.
Of course the Sailor Guardians noticed too.
"This isn't going to go very well." Said Erza.
"What do you mean?" asked Lisanna.
"I guess you haven't noticed." Said Levy.
"But each monster we faced had ]the same magic as their target." Said Erza.
"Oh yeah." Said Lisanna.
"What's so bad about that?" asked Luna.
"Warren's magic is telepathy." Said Lisanna.
"Because of that he's one of the most powerful members of the guild." Said Erza.
Warren turned around.
"I know you're talking about me." Said Warren.
Everyone in the guild sweat dropped.
Well if you're not going to talk about me to my face… I minds as well tell everyone what their thinking." Said Warren.
Warren turned to Cana.
"You haven't told Gildarts the truth." He said.
"What!" yelled Cana.
He turned to Alzack.
"Loke is lying about his age." Said Warren.
"That's all you're revealing…" said Loke with a sweat drop.
"Natsu told Lisanna's secret to Happy during his job and bribed him with fish so he wouldn't tell anyone else!" said Warren.
"Natsu!" yelled Lisanna.
"And Lisanna's secret… something that everyone should hear…" said Warren.
That was when Mirajane used sleep magic on him.
"Really!" yelled Cana, "You didn't punch him!"
"I shouldn't…" muttered Mirajane, "Considering he's possessed."
The guild sweat dropped.
"Should have known." Muttered Loke.
"How old are you?" asked Cana.
"It doesn't matter! I'm not asking you about Gildarts…" said Loke.
"Now's not the time to be righting!" yelled Makarov.
Lisanna was glaring at Natsu.
"Look I can explain!" said Natsu putting his hands up in defense.
However the pen in Warren's pocket began to glow, as a monster showed up.
"Well. Well Fairy Tail." Said the monster, "I know how you're going to attack…"
That was when the monster began to sweat.
"Well I got to run!" yelled the monster.
The Monster ran out of the guild hall.
"Why did it run?" asked Loke.
"I think it's because if we all attacked at once it couldn't dodge very well." Said Levy.
"Either way we have to go after it." Said Erza.
Levy nodded.
"Lisanna." Said Luna.
"I know…" sighed Lisanna.
She turned to glare at Natsu one last time as the team left.
"Elfman!" said Mirajane.
"Right!" said Elfman as other members of the guild left to find the monster.
Natsu was one of the few to stay behind.
Elsewhere in town. The monster was running causing the people to scream and run away.
"This should be the best place." Said them monster.
"Hold it right there!" said three voices that caused the smother to freeze.
"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.
Both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury sighed.
"That's kind of sad that you don't' have control over that." Mocked the monster.
"Please don't remind us." Sighed Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury.
"Now's not the time to be worrying about that." Said Sailor Mars.
The monster smirked.
"Fire soul!" called out Sailor Mars.
It dodged the attack.
"Really? That's all you got?" mocked the monster.
"Bubble Spray!" called out Sailor Mercury.
As the fog rolled in the monster chuckled.
"Really that won't matter." Said the monster, "I still can read you thoughts."
"Moon tiara action!" called out Sailor Moon.
The glowing tiara headed start towards the monster, but the monster caught it.
"Like I said, it won't work." Mocked the monster.
"This is bad." Said Luna watching.
Back at the guild hall, Maxfield arrived.
"What's going on?" he asked seeing the guildhall was mostly empty expect for the few tending to Warren, Makarov, Happy and Natsu.
"That's it!" yelled Natsu, "I'm going to look for Lisanna."
"Wait I'm coming too!" said Happy.
"Don't… "said Natsu, "I have to explain without you there…"
"But…" said Happy.
Natsu ran past Maxfield.
"Did something happen?" asked Maxfield.
"A monster was possessing Warren." Said Makarov, "It ran out right before you arrived. Almost everyone went to deal with it."
"Good, I missed it." Thought Maxfield.
With the Sailor Guardian, the monster still held on to the tiara. Sailor Mars decided to reequip her fire sword and attack the monster, but it continued to dodge.
"Come on it's useless if you can hit me." Mocked the monster.
Sailor Mercury used Solid Script Ice, however the monster dodged that as well.
"Seriously do you people even listen." Said the monster.
Sailor Moon glared at the monster.
"What should I do." She thought, "He has my tiara and if I use my Take Over-Magic he'll just dodge it."
That was when a fire ball hit the monster causing it to drop the tiara.
They all turned to where it came from and it was Dragon Knight.
Sailor Mars managed to pick up the tiara.
"So who are you?" asked the monster.
"I am Dragon Knight." Said Dragon Knight.
"I see… just someone who…" said the monster.
The Dragon Knight punched the monster with a fiery fist, sending the monster flying.
The monster got up.
"Hey!" yelled the monster, he began to read his mind.
However all the Dragon Knight was thinking. "I have to protect Sailor Moon."
"Well… crap…" said the monster.
He got another fiery punch, then the Dragon Knight shot a fireball at the monster.
The Sailor Guardians watched this with sweat drops.
"He must not be thinking about his attacks." Said Sailor Mars.
"Yeah." Said Sailor Moon.
Sailor Mars gave Sailor Moon her tiara.
"Sailor Moon!" called out Dragon Knight as the monster laid twitching on the ground.
"Right!" said Sailor Moon.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
As the monster was in now shape to dodge, the discus hit turning it into dust.
Sailor Moon turned to Dragon Knight.
"Thank you." She said, "IF it weren't you we wouldn't have been able to win."
Dragon Knight nodded and jumped to the roof tops and began to run away.
That was when Mirajane and Elfman showed up.
"Oh man! We missed it!" yelled Elfman.
"You did this time." Said Sailor Mars with a smirk.
"I don't like the smirk on your face." Said Mirajane glaring at Sailor Mars.
"We should go." Said Sailor Mercury dragging Sailor Mars away.
"Later!" said Sailor Moon waving at her siblings.
They found a place to de-transform.
"Remember even though he helped this time…" sighed Luna.
"Don't trust Dragon Knight." Said Lisanna.
Luna nodded.
"There you are!" said Natsu showing up.
"What are you doing here?" asked Lisanna.
"I have to explain why I told Happy." Said Natsu.
"We'll leave you two alone." Said Erza.
"Good luck." Said Levy.
Lisanna sweat dropped.
"It happened on the job…" said Natsu.
(Flashback)
In a dark location, Natsu was watching the Sailor Guardians fighting a monster. When suddenly a woman with long red hair attacked the Sailor Guardians.
Natsu tired to join the fight. But found he couldn't move.
"Sailor Moon!" yelled Natsu.
Suddenly the woman grabbed Sailor Moon with her hair.
"Lisanna!" yelled Natsu.
That was when he jolted awake. He realized it was all a nightmare and he was in his hotel room.
"A bad dream?" asked Happy who was a awake.
"yeah." Said Natsu.
"Why did you call out both Lisanna and Sailor Moon?" asked Happy.
Natsu began to sweat.
"Is it a Love Triangle?" asked Happy.
"It's not like that Lisanna's Sailor Moon." Said Natsu.
Happy stared at Natsu who realized what he said.
"I was just kidding!" said Natsu.
"Sure you were." Said Happy with sinister smirk.
"You can't tell anyone… "said Natsu.
Happy however still smirking.
Thankfully he knew how to get Happy not to blab.
(End of Flashback)
"And that's how Happy found out." Said Natsu.
"I see." Said Lisanna who smiled, "I should have known."
"Sorry…" said Natsu.
"It's okay…" said Lisanna, "But what if Happy still tells…"
"Don't worry I have a plan." Said Natsu with an evil smile.
Sometime later Makarov's office.
"What!" yelled Happy.
"If you tell anyone their dinettes you have to go live with your parents for a week…" said Natsu, "Including helping out with the farm instead of taking jobs."
"Oh please Natsu! Have mercy! I won't tell! I promise I won't tell!" cried Happy.
"Then you better not it's very serious." Said Luna.
"You haven't met Lucky! You don't know what it's like!" yelled Happy.
"That's a bit much don't you think?" asked Erza.
"It's the only way." Said Makarov with a sigh.
In the Guild Hall, Max decided to be the one to inform Warren about what happened (since he was one of the past victims).
"You're kidding!" yelled Warren, "I don't remember any of that!"
"It's okay, I know what you're going through." Said Max.
Maxfield watched their interaction.
"I thought it was going to work." He thought with a sigh.
And so Happy now joined in the secret, and he knew he had to keep it a secret he doubt he would survive the punishment he would have to go through…
