The Assassins of Fairy Tail

Job Eight: The Assassin's Identity

The sound of building could be heard throughout the crater where the new guild building would be. All the members of Fairy Tail were working hard together. Alzack turned to a few of the other members. "Hey! Can we get some more wood over here!"

Not a second later when a pile of wood was placed in front of him and his family. Leone in her beast form walked out to the side and slapped the material. "Here you go. Hope this'll be good."

Alzack was pretty surprised that Leone could carry a large heavy pile of wood so easily. Bisca just smiled at her. "Hey, thanks. This'll be enough for now."

Leone smiled back and nodded at the Connell family. "Alright then. Holler if you need any more help."

She was about to leave until the blonde noticed Asuka staring at her in amazement. She looked back at the much younger girl and Asuka smiled at her. "You're really strong!"

The blonde smiled back and kneeled down in front of Asuka. She rubbed the top of Asuka's hat gently. "When you get to my age, you'll be really strong too. Okay?" Leone removed her hand and stood up. "See you later." She walked away from the Connell family.

Asuka waved goodbye at her. "Bye-bye!"

While walking around to see what to do next, Leone felt that same feeling again whenever kids around Asuka's age would say anything positive about her. "You look happy." Leone stopped walking and saw Akame walking up to her. "What happened?" She stopped in front of the other girl.

Leone chuckled at her girlfriend. "Nothing much. It's just that…" She looked back at Asuka and her parents who started working on the wood. "I kinda like it when kids like her say something cool about me, you know. I've heard a lot of it back when we were in Lamia Scale. It's something I can't get used to but I do like it."

Akame knew what Leone was talking about. She heard about how kids did look up to wizards from different guilds. Leone never guessed she would become a good role model to the younger generation. Akame didn't see it herself but she did like how they were having a positive effect. "I know what you mean. I know it's not something we're used to but I'm glad we're having an impact. A good one."

The blonde looked back at the other girl. "Yeah…" She suddenly had an idea. "Want to check on Chelsea?"

Speaking of said girl, she was busy hammering in some nails much to her dismay and accidently hit her thumb. "Son of a…!" Chelsea groaned in pain as she gripped her thumb tightly.

"Yeah! Put those manicured hands to work Chelsea!"

Chelsea turned around to see Akame and Leone walking up to her. She wasn't happy with what the blonde said or what she had to do. "This is such complete BS. Why do I have to work on this too? You and Akame can do this no problem while I just hit my thumb!"

Akame expected the other girl to complain about this kind of work. "Erza did say if all of us work together, we'd finish this faster."

"And something about the guild master being pleased when he sees the new guild." Leone added.

That was another issue Chelsea questioned about. "Right, about this master thing. Do really have to call him master? I mean it reminds me my previous occupation before I joined up with you guys and you know how I felt about that. That and it sounds like I'm working at a maid café."

Leone put some thought in what the other girl said and came up with an idea. "Then how about we just call him boss like we did Najenda? I'm sure he won't mind that."

It was better than nothing for Chelsea. "Let's hope so."

"Refreshments!" All three girls heard Lisanna's voice and saw the girl coming toward them. She presented a water bottle to all of them. "Need something to drink?"

The blonde gladly took up the offer. "Hey, thanks." She took the bottle.

"I would like one as well thank you." Lisanna handed Akame a second water bottle.

Then Lisanna offered the third bottle to Chelsea. "You want one?"

Chelsea contemplated the offer until she accepted it. "Sure, why not?"

She tried to reach for it but then the other girl saw the injury on Chelsea's hand. "Oh my god!" Lisanna immediately reached for Chelsea's hand and grabbed it. "You're injured."

Chelsea slightly blushed at the hand holding and withdrew her hand back. "I'm fine. It's nothing serious, okay? I'll be more careful next time."

Her words did little to reassure Lisanna. "Still, you need to wrap that up. You should go to Erza."

The older girl sighed at the fact Lisanna was making such a big deal about such a small thing. "Fine. I'll go to her shortly, okay?" She took the bottle away from the other girl.

It was good enough Lisanna and smiled. "Okay then. See you later!" She continued on going to the other members.

Chelsea sighed as she was glad that passed but she wasn't out of the woods yet. She heard Leone giggle for some reason. "What's so funny?"

The blonde continued her Cheshire grin at the other girl. "I saw that look Chelsea and I got to say, you have to be careful. She does have two protective older siblings."

Chelsea knew where Leone was going and didn't like it. "Oh no. You are so wrong about what you're thinking."

Leone begged to differ. "Come on. Wendy has Chelia, Akame and me are together. You're the only one who hasn't found anyone yet. This could be your chance."

The other girl had about enough of what the blonde was insinuating. "Screw it. I'm going to go see Erza." She stomped off in a hurry from the other two girls.

As they saw Chelsea leave in a huff, even Akame thought Leone's teasing was a little too much. "I think you took too far Leone."

The blonde just shrugged. "I was just trying to help." She had a sudden random thought. "Do you know where Wendy went?

Akame thought about for a few seconds. "I don't know actually but she's around here somewhere." She looked at the framework of the new guild building. "Let's get back to work."

In another part of the construction, Erza was playing as the nurse in case anyone was injured on sight. So far there had been no accidents which were a good thing. "Um…Erza?"

Erza turned around to see Wendy and smiled at the younger girl. "Hello there Wendy. Is something the matter?"

The young dragon slayer shook her head. "No, nothing's wrong. I just…wanted to apologize for my sudden leaving last night."

The older girl remembered what happened but thought it was no big deal. "It's alright. I should be the one to apologize for asking a question you didn't feel ready to answer. When you do feel ready, you can tell me. Is that okay?"

Wendy smiled at Erza and nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Erza. I'm…uh, going to see what the others are doing. I'll see you later." She left with a slight spring in her step.

When she was gone, Erza then expressed concern about the young dragon slayer and has been since last night ever since she overheard their conversation.

Erza was walking over toward Wendy's door and check up on her. She wondered why the younger girl displayed such behavior she had never seen. Erza approached Wendy's door and was about to knock. "Are you going to tell them? The real truth? They are your family and deserve to know."

Erza stopped when she heard Akame's voice and if she was in Wendy's room, chances are the other two were as well. She figured they must've had the same idea as her but what Akame said had Erza curious. "The real truth?"

"I will but I think I'll wait when the guild is rebuilt. All of us just reunited so it's better to wait. I'm just worried what they'll think when they learn the truth about all of you." Erza recognized that was Wendy speaking and was very curious about what they were talking about. "I mean…all of you were fighting for a great cause but…what you had to do…"

Erza had several questions already about what they were talking about. "What are they all talking about?"

"Don't worry about it. Only you know us well and it'll be up to the others to see what they think of us. Whatever the outcome is, we'll deal with it when that situation comes." Erza decided she'd heard enough and left.

F

Whatever they were discussing, it sounded important and what it was had Wendy worried and it made Erza worry. It seemed there was more to Wendy's three friends then she thought and what truth does Wendy have to tell the whole guild? Erza could only hope she would hear the answers soon. "What is it that you have to hide from us Wendy? And…who are your three friends? What great cause did they do? What did they have to do before?"

"Hey, Erza?" Erza's train of thought was interrupted when Chelsea called out to her and looked at the other girl. Chelsea showed her injured thumb to her. "Think you can wrap this up? I need to get back to work."

It seemed the answers would have to wait a little longer. Whatever Wendy had to tell them, she'll do it when the guild is complete. Until then, she'll keep all of this to herself. "Sure thing. Wait right there."

Gray was busy hammering in some of the boards and turned to Juvia. "Hand me that nail Juvia."

Juvia was more than happy to obliged. She handed the nails via her water magic. "Yes, my darling!"

"Don't get it wet."

Not too far, Jet and Droy were watching them. Jet leaned in close to Droy. "Hey, didja hear? Those two were living together at one point. That true, though?"

Droy was busy eating a popsicle. "No way man. I heard they got married."

It wasn't long for the others to join in the conversation. "Yeah, I heard they've got kids now."

"Wait, I heard he was cheating on her with Lucy."

"A lover?!"

"And secretly with Erza too."

Gray could only take so much from these untrue rumors. "How far are you guys going with this!?" He decided to clear things up before it became out of hand. "I wouldn't say we lived together. She came and refused to move out so yeah…" Juvia giggled at that.

"Refreshments here!"

A member took a water bottle. "Thanks, Lisanna!"

Lisanna continued giving out water bottles to one member after another. "Get your refreshments!" Everyone said thanks to her when they took the bottles.

She finally arrived at Natsu who was quite impressed. "You sure seem good at this."

His childhood friends smiled while spinning a bottle with two fingers. "Yeah! I've been doing some waiting with Mira for this past year."

"Elfman too?!" Happy imagined Elfman wearing a waiter outfit.

Lisanna scratched her cheek lightly. "Hmm, Elfman said something about going on 'men's training' and then just disappeared."

Natsu was interested now. "Oh…I'mma go pick a fight with him later."

Elfman then suddenly showed up cracking his knuckles. "I could do it now if you want, though."

Lisanna didn't know if that was a good idea. "Elfman…" It didn't matter to Natsu as he smiled at the other member.

Meanwhile, Levy was busy filling out some papers and Wendy walked up to her. "What are you doing Levy?"

Levy was looking over the paperwork. "Hmm, sorting out the documents and that kind of thing." She looked at the younger girl. "You can't just bring back the guild with words. We've got to get permission from the Council or we'll be no different than the dark guilds."

Lily was confident about that. "Well, we've done our research on that for the past year so we'll be okay."

Carla was glad to hear that. "That's pretty sweet of you guys."

Levy continued to fill out the paperwork. "So in that sense, I've gotta make sure Fairy Tail's comeback is done without problems."

Wendy couldn't be happier that their guild was that much closer to being brought back. "Thank you, Levy!"

The other girl did have a little trouble with one certain part. "I just have to fill out this box, though."

Mira smiled at the predicament. "That's a tough one, huh?"

Wendy tilted her head sideways in confusion. "Tough?"

Levy sighed. "Who will be our…seventh guild master?"

Now the young dragon slayer saw what the problem was. "Seventh guild master…"

Macao crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "Well, I could be if no one else wants to."

Romeo really didn't want that. "Please dad, no!"

Wakaba had his own suggestion. "Gildarts sounds like a fine idea."

Cana slammed her hands down in anger. "There's no way anyone would want a nomadic guild master like him!"

"Couldn't we just get a stand in? At least until the Sixth comes back?" Carla suggested.

Lily nodded at her. "I agree."

The options were severely limited to them. "But the guild this time around is different from before." Cana looked over at the crowd where Natsu and Elfman were duking it out. "Who'd be able to control this bunch other than the Sixth?"

Elfman punched Natsu at the side of his check. "How'd ya like this!"

The fire dragon slayer tumbled around on the ground before stopping and sat up while wiping his chin. "Hmm…that's a nice punch you've got there!"

"Do your best, guys!" Lisanna cheered.

Alzack smiled at the two members. "They've both gotten stronger haven't they?"

Bisca giggled at her husband. "Well, this isn't the time for you to be gaining a bell huh?"

Asuka giggled too. "Papa, pot-belly!"

Leone was getting a kick out of the fight she was watching. "Man, this looks like a lot of fun."

Chelsea was the only one who kept a straight face about this whole thing. "Aren't we supposed to be working on rebuilding the guild?"

Natsu stood up and ran over to Elfman with his arm pulled back. "Well then!" He punched the other member and sent him all way to where Gray was and hit him.

Elfman smirked at Natsu's attack. "How manly."

Gray suddenly kicked him behind his head. "That fricking hurt!" The ice mage was then quickly kicked in the face by Natsu.

It didn't take long for the other members to join in on the fight. "Oh, it's a fight!"

"Let's go all out then!"

Loke suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Oh, this brings back memories."

"Loki! What are you…!"

Leone laughed as she ran to join in too. "Save some for me!"

"You're all under arrest!" Gajeel yelled at all of them.

Everyone was enjoying the brawl as it reminded them of old times. Elfman sniffed while crying and smiling. "That hurt ya bastard!"

Mira smiled sweetly at her younger brother. "That's nice Elfman. No one blamed you for destroying the build but…I know you've been beating yourself up over it. And that's why you said you were going to get stronger-" And a random flying bottle struck her on the head.

She fell down unconscious to the ground which freaked out both Lucy and Wendy. "Mira!" Lucy glared at the bunch still fighting. "Hey, you guys!"

There was a heavy stomp and Erza gave everyone a rather seriously frightening look at all of them. "Get to work."

Everyone stopped and paused out of fear. "Okay…"

Leone felt a chill going down her spine. "Holy crap she's scarier than the boss." Chelsea sighed as she knew this was going to happen. Akame was equally unnerved by Erza's display of command.

Levy chuckled as she began to write. "I guess it's settled then. Our seventh guild master. Erza Scarlet."

Everyone cheered at that but Erza wasn't as thrilled. In fact, she was surprised. "W-Wait up. Me…the master? That's-"

"There's no one better than you." Everyone turned to where they heard a new voice.

Natsu recognized him. "You're…"

So did Lucy and Wendy but couldn't quite know why. "Uh…who?"

Wendy tried to figure it out. "I wonder?"

Cana kinda recognized him. "No…he's one of us…but I can't seem to recall his name."

Leone narrowed her eyes at the new arrival. She clearly remembered him through Wendy's memories. "So it's this guy."

"I've been waiting all this time…for all of you to come together again. The only ones that could save the sixth master Makarov are you guys."
