Chapter 16 : The Explanation
Previously in Fairy Tail : Dragon Emperor.
The war between Fairy Tail and Phantom, has come to it's climax, the battle between Jose of Ten Wizard Saints and Pyrus had ended in Pyrus's victory. The boy shows incredible power he had been holding and able to defeat Jose. After that Master Makarov, who already been healed, come to confront Jose. With neither sides are willing to give up, Makarov uses his magic 'Fairy Law' to ended this war once and for all. After the fight against Phantom Lord, Pyrus collapsed from exhaustion. He then taken to the treatment room in the hospital.
When he awake, he found Nymph (in human form) naked beside him.
Erza discovers this, thinking that Pyrus is doing something he should not and attack him but Nymph protected him while threatening Erza. Pyrus still explains the misunderstanding they have, but...
"Nice to meet you! I'm Master Pyrus' slave" Nymph smiling innocently at them.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT!" The four members of Fairy Tail yelled in surprise. After they yelled, Nymph then was in deep pain then rolling on the floor. The others see that Pyrus's left backhand is glowing in golden light with strange symbol on it. He bring it in front of him, pointing directly at Nymph
"Stop making more misunderstanding then already is!" Pyrus said to her,
"Agh! I give! give up! give up! I give up Master!" Nymph cried pleading to stop.
"So... Pyrus, who's she actually?" Erza asked with a little glare at him.
"I'm the magical sword of love and justice that will granted everyone's wishes, the Magical Stella Fantasy, Nymph!" She quickly introduce herself like nothing happened at her a while ago. The others sweatdrop as the sword girl attics.
"As you can see, Nymph is my Spirit Arms or you can say she's my sword. She was able to take form of a human because she's Ultimate-Class Spirit Arms" The boy answer with a sigh before he continue "She also have a feelings and personalities like a normal humans"
"So, she almost just like a Celestial Spirit?" Gray pointed out and Pyrus nodded.
"Phew, and I thought you did 'that'" Gray said with relieve. but Erza hit his head.
"There are children here!" Erza pointed at Rayna who was a little confused with what he meant earlier.
"Sorry for interrupting..." Makarov came in the room while accompanied by Lucy and Mirajane.
"Master... you finally came" Erza said with a smile looking at the old man.
All of them entering the room, looking at Pyrus who is still explaining his misunderstanding and how Spirit Arms work.
"what are you doing?" Mirajane asked politely with a smile on her face.
"We're discussing that Pyrus is doing it or not'" Natsu replied innocently pointing at Pyrus.
"it?" Makarov, Mira and Lucy were confused.
"Can you stop talking about it? I'm still fourteen years old" Pyrus annoyedly told those who were still discussing the misunderstanding.
"Aw~ come on, Master Pyrus... Don't be shy, you are already seventeen years old remember?" Nymph said sweatly, making the others look at her. "And besides, you're already-"
"Say one more word and nobody can fix what I will done to you" He glaring at the girl before sighing "I maybe seventeen, but this body still fourteen years old" He looked at his hands.
"What do you mean by that?" Lucy asked blinking few times.
"You know what, I'm starting to wonder about it. How come you have that much power even though you just a child" Erza stated seriously. The others is now looking at him.
"Uh... Push up, sit up, and drink plenty of juice" Pyrus answering nervously. The Fairy Tail members are sweatdrop while giving 'are you serious?' look.
"Okay ... I'll tell you guys" Pyrus sighed and everyone eyes are on him. "But, want to hear it long or short story?" He asked.
"Short..." Erza immediately replying.
"Alright... It started a few years ago, when my team and I executed orders to explore unknown ruins that suddenly appeared out of nowhere" Pyrus begin to explaining his story.
"Did Tommy come to?" Happy asked pointing at him.
"Yes ... there is just me, Tommy and six of my friends" Pyrus replied.
"We explored the place to the deepest area, and then we found a gate. Because of curiosity we opened the gate, but we got sucked into it, and then we realized, we are in mystery place called Andra" Pyrus continuing the explanation.
"Andra?" Makarov repeated, as he never hear of it.
"More precisely, it's a another world ..." Pyrus said.
"Another world?!" they were all surprised except for Rayna and the twins.
"Cool! how's there look like?" Natsu asked with enthusiasm.
"It's a beautiful place, and the flow of magic there is much stronger than here. The place is also hold many powerful beings and many others, like demons, vampires, angels, gods and goddess and so on" Pyrus replied.
"Awesome!... Did that place have dragons?" Natsu asked with enthusiasm.
"Sadly Dragons on that place is also very rare to see. But there's many dragon-like creatures like Hydra and Wyvern. For all the time I spend there, I only meet few evil dragon and I able to slay two of them" Pyrus answered with a proud. He then look at them with their face didn't believed of what he saying. It more like a fantasy made out by a child.
"Hmmm ..." Makarov give a deep thought.
"Woah! Are saying was real? You already had slaying dragons?" Natsu said in awe and Pyrus just nooded then say "Yep... That was a difficult battle, it take all I got to defeat it"
"You almost lose your right arm when you fought that Fafnir guy" Tommy reminded him while rising his paw.
"And what happen next?" Natsu asked again.
Pyrus begun to tell how his life in there, how he and Nymph performed a contract to get stronger because he was forced to take participated in a war on that world, some of his battles on that world that almost cost his life. And when he fights with 12 Overlords, which is basically gods on that world. But there's some topics that he didn't want to tell them, after losing so many friends from that world, he couldn't get himself to talk about it.
"Wow... Now I think I want to fight you again. Pyrus, let's have a rematch!" Natsu said in enthusiasm, but Gray hit his head.
"Are you idiot? If what he said was true then you have no chance beating him!" Gray said.
"What did you say! Are you saying that you can beat him?!" Natsu bumping his head with Gray.
"I didn't say that, Flame brain!" Gray replied angrily, they keep bumping head each other before Erza stopped them, Pyrus just laugh awkwardly.
"Well, as I saying, we trapped in that world for about three years. And when we came back to Earthland, we realize that we only gone for a few weeks" Pyrus continued.
"huh?" Natsu did not quite understand what he meant at the last part.
"You mean you were there for around three years, and here it's only past for a few weeks?" Erza stated while understand of what he saying.
"Yes, it seems time is running faster there, but strangely we do not experience body growth, example just to lengthen my nails and my hair is taking forever" Pyrus said.
"that's it from me, it's up to you to believe it or not... And Nymph is there as a proof" Pyrus then got out of bed and changed his clothes using his requip magic.
He changed his usual clothes, then looked at Makarov who put his hand on his chin.
"Well, can you tell your real business here, Master Makarov. because you wouldn't come here just to hear some story, right?," said Pyrus, Makarov staring at him, while the others were confused by his intentions.
"The real business?" Asked Gray and Natsu together, they get annoyed by saying it together. They then bump into their heads before they are separated by Erza again.
"Okay ..." Makarov nodded. "Mira ... Take Natsu, Gray and Happy out from this room" Makarov orders Mira.
"All right, Master" Mirajane smile while giggles. She then grabbed Natsu's Scarf and Gray's Shirt, and Happy's tail. Mira dragged them out of the room.
"Hey!, why we can't join in!?" Natsu asked while he grab the door tightly, didn't wanna get dragged. After Mira pulls them out the door, she closes them. Pyrus and others see it only with sweatdrop.
"So ... what do you want to know from me?" Pyrus asked him as he look out at the window. Makarov, Erza, and Lucy just stared at him.
"Big bro-"
Rayna wanted to talk but she was stopped by Nymph. Rayna with a rather sad face saw her brother sigh before Makarov finally asked.
"Well ... first, I want you to tell me who you really are ..." Makarov asked straightforward to the dark blue-haired boy.
"My name is Pyrus Astoria, or rather known as Zephyrus Sieghart, I am the adopted son of Lidorias the Wind Dragon and Luna the Celestial Dragon and also the Sieghart nobles family, I'm one of the students in the Pergrande Academy, student ID AZGH 59272.17555.10783.98 SDA" This statement makes Makarov and Lucy shocked with their mouth is wide open that he can remember those numbers.
"Wait? You're... student of the Pergrande academy!" Lucy did not believe what he saying. "So ... is Rayna too?" Lucy asked, looking at Rayna, and Rayna just nodded slowly. Pyrus then sighed before he continue.
"I'm a Diamond Rank Holy Knight and also the leader of the Aegis" This statement makes The three of them shocked again, if Makarov was drinking at this time, he would have sprouting his drink.
"Pyrus ..." Lucy recalls what Jose told her in her sky prison.
"So is true, what did you do to become a criminal?" Erza looked sadly to the floor. She did not think it was true, her friend was a criminal who escaped for the last three years. "What kind of crimes did you do, Pyrus?" Erza asked sadly. Their eyes were on him, the silent in the room continue before Pyrus finally opening his mouth.
"Well, for starters... I stealing all panties of every girl on the capital city in one night!" Pyrus stated with proud making Erza and Lucy's mouth open wide, while Makarov secretly giving him a thumbs up.
"You're kidding!, right!?" Lucy yelled in embarrassment at him.
"Of course, I'm kidding" Pyrus stated as Erza and Lucy sigh in relieved.
"Actually, I just groping every girl's chests in the capital city" Pyrus rubbed his head awkwardly.
"You must be lying!" Lucy and Erza shouted in embarrassment.
"Yeah, that's a lie..." Pyrus casually admits it, making them fall to the floor. Rayna hold her anger at him for making such joke on them.
"For the God's sake, Pyrus... Tell us why you becoming a criminal!" Erza yelled while she shaking him by shirt violently. . . .
. . .
. . .
"That's not true ..." someone denied it, they saw that it was from Rayna.
"Big brother is not a criminal! It's just a slander of the kingdom!" Rayna said with tears running down her eyes. the three of them were surprised to hear about it.
"What do you mean, Rayna?" Makarov asked the girl.
"She's right ... it was just a lie made by someone" Pyrus said and then they looked at him again.
"What do you mean?" Erza asked.
"Have you ever heard of Artemis City?" Pyrus asked the three.
"Artemis?... isn't it that a city on Enca island that suddenly disappears?" Makarov replied and Pyrus nodded while Rayna stay silent.
"Wait... I heard that too. It said that the entire city- no, the entire island was wiped out by an huge explosion" Lucy remembering the news. Erza then looking at Pyrus with serious eyes.
"Pyrus... What are you trying to say? What is your connection to Artemis?" Erza asked in confusion, her heart beating faster as then Pyrus said the word.
Pyrus opened his mouth. He inhale some air before he could say it. "...the one, who did it to Artemis...it was me" Makarov, Erza, Lucy eyes widened, to great shock that the boy in front of them wiping off entire island by himself.
"Pyrus... " Erza said in shock. Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, as Makarov looking at Pyrus with serious eyes. For Lucy, she can't believe that what he said was true, the news she heard was there's more than hundred thousands or even millions of people who've died in the incident.
"Pyrus... I want you to tell me the reason why you did that?" Makarov asked, still believed in the boy that he have a reason for doing some horrible things like that.
"I did it because not that I have a choice... If I didn't do it, then ishgar-no... The entire world will be in danger" Pyrus stated. Making the three of them eyes widened. They begun to wondering of what he mean by that.
"What do you mean?... " Makarov asked the boy.
"One day, the Kingdom of Pergrande is having some kind of meeting on Enca Island. Our foster father, Gristan and several other important people was asked to go there as representatives" Pyrus told his story as they listen to it carefully.
"My team and I were tasked to be a guard so that no one would distributing the meeting, but... "
"But what?" Makarov asked, raising his eyebrows.
"There's an intruder... and accidents happen" Pyrus said. "There's a cursed seal that will bring disaster to humans ... Somebody has opened the seal and ..." Pyrus paused, he looked like he did not want to continue his story.
"And what happened, Pyrus?" Makarov asked. Pyrus began to open his mouth.
"The people there ... turned into demons" Pyrus said in a sad tone, a little tears came out of him. those who listened to this for the first time were shocked, Rayna and the cats looked to the floor with a sad face. Makarov was speechless of what he had hearing. Erza eyes widened as Lucy covered her mouth in shock. they never expected such thing be happening.
"They all had turned into demons, even our Foster father, Gristan. Someone at his caliber defeated by that curse" Pyrus was still staring down the floor, the room became silent. He grip his fist as remember he can't do anything to stop it.
"And the one who responsible for it was one of demon from Book of Zeref. It open the cursed seal by doing a ritual that require huge magical power gather at the same place... "
"Huge magical power? Then that's mean... " Erza realized.
"Yes, it was us, The Aegis and other people including Gristan" The boy nodded
"But how about you and your team? How can you not be exposed to that curse too?" Erza asks, knowing that if what he say is the truth then should he have also been exposed to the curse.
"Yeah, how can you not get infected?" Lucy added.
Pyrus looked at them before he answered them."We... Aegis was chosen for having such a special power that is very dangerous that we were hated because of it, before we were finally acknowledge as Holy Knights" Pyrus explained.
"Special powers?" Erza raised her eyebrows.
"What kind of special power?" Lucy asked curiously.
"You can say this power protects us from the curse," said Pyrus with him tried to avoiding the questions.
"Just like i said, on that day, Someone infiltrated the meeting place and activated the curse by ritual that gather human with magical potential, which were forced them into falling deep despair and sacrificed to give birth a demon from their hearts. then it began to spread throughout the city and within 1 hour ... Artemis has become a battleground between us and the demons" Pyrus in a serious tone.
"I tried everything to reverse the curse but to no avail!, my friends and I were forced to kill everyone including my foster father. Then we don't have a choice but to destroying the island so it can't spread to the mainland but the explosion made a effect on the Kingdom of Sin that also killed so many peoples" Pyrus closed his eyes to remember the incident. Makarov also closed his eyes, imagining what happened. Erza and Lucy can only look down with a sad face. They apologize because forcing the boy told the tragic story.
"Pyrus ... Did you tell anyone that it's not your fault?" Makarov asked. opened his eyes, looked at the boy
"Everyone is not listening of our excuses... there is someone who spread the false news and even managed to convince King Pergrande! They said our power gone berserk and then destroyed the island including the death of peoples from Kingdom of Sin" Pyrus said angrily clenching his fist. They first saw him say in a tone like that. The boy who always talks quietly and casually can talk like this.
"Then they set the blame to us as we begin to be considered criminals and put on a death sentence, but due the King owes us a favor, the punishment become banished from the kingdom instead" Pyrus continued his story. "After that, many organizations that antagonize my group put a bounty reward for capturing or kill us "
"I am surprised that you have not been founded by them and the council..." Erza said with while crossed her arms.
"Well, that because their memories slightly altered by one of my friends... " The boy replied casually. "What?... " the three Fairy Tail Members asked.
"My friend named Novu have ability to change almost everyone's memories including the council" Pyrus explained.
"Why didn't you just change Council's memory that you're innocent?" Lucy asked
"Hey! We're already lucky enough to change the member's face of the Aegis" Pyrus said. "Also I faked my death around few months ago, during my encounter against a powerful mage" the boy continue, and said "They lost my tracks after that"
"But I thought the wanted posters were updated every few months..." Erza pointed out the fact.
"Well, some of them still cannot believe that I could die that easily. And since they're independent organizations, the council didn't care of their business. Honestly though, I thought that I will funded out by the council when they arrested me, but thanks to Natsu, I'm saved..." Pyrus said with a relieved as he continue his story, some of them are secretly through telepathy with Makarov. Pyrus think this information will got Lucy and Erza in danger.
-Time Skip-
"Well, now this is done, let's keep this from the Magic Council, we do not want more trouble for us, right?" Makarov said. He then looked at Pyrus and said "And Pyrus, your secret is safe with us, you don't need to worry, because we will protect you." Pyrus's eyes wide open, then he smiled and bowed.
"Thank you very much, Master." Pyrus thanked Makarov.
"hoho ... No problems, kiddo... you are part of the Fairy Tail family, we help our friends who need help, it does not matter if it is bad in the eyes of others, but as long we keep listening to our hearts content, you'll find the truth that no one can find and that is what means to be Fairy Tail mages" Makarov ended his speech. "And I also wanted to thank you of what did you've done" Makarov said, right after he knew the boy help them by dealing with a certain invaders, Makarov sure that he can trust this boy.
Pyrus was happy after he said everything, his heart felt lighter after opening his secret. he is grateful to have joined this guild.
-Later-
Pyrus is walking towards the guild followed by the others. after the conversation was over, Makarov told him to come to the guild in order to help them rebuild the guild building.
"*sigh*... Why am I told to help the construction? I'm just came out from the hospital" Pyrus complained while walking lethargic. Erza then suddenly hit his head so he fell to the ground.
"Stop complaining ..." Erza told him. Lucy and Rayna sweatdrop see this. Tommy and Alice are in Nymph's arms.
they kept going until they finally saw the Fairy Tail members get rid of the ruins of the Fairy Tail building before.
"hey look, it's Pyrus!" Macao pointed out. everyone is looking at him.
"he already awake?" Said a random member.
"Hi everyone ..." Pyrus greeted them.
"Are you okay there, buddy?" Elfman asked while he carrying a large rock.
"Where's Natsu and Gray?" Erza asks them, they point to the left and see Natsu and Gray being together like good friends.
"Hey Erza." Natsu greets nervously.
"What're you guys doing? Get back to work!" Erza yells at them.
"Aye sir!" They both said simultaneously, then began again to remove the ruins of the Fairy Tail building.
"You have arrived ..." Makarov said, walking towards them.
"Is there a problem, Master?" Erza asked.
"Well ... I counted the building fund, and I begin thought of a way to save money, I planned to build a better building."
"What?" Erza felt confused. Fairy Tail members began gathering to discuss the issue.
"So how is the plan, Master?" asked one of the guild members.
"do we have a joint venture?" they asked again.
"yes, I am still thinking about it" Makarov stated.
"what if we use Laki's magic to make Wood? ..." Wakaba suggested.
"That's a good idea ..." Macao agrees with his partner.
"Laki, we're counting on you!"
"Leave it to me!" Laki gave them thumbs up. she then demonstrating by making a wood statute that the author can't describe.
"can't you make a normal one?!" asked the others. "what? but normal is boring" Laki stated.
"she useless... " They all thought while sweatdrop.
"Well, do you have any other ideas?" Makarov asked. "we need to save as much money as possible"
"I have acquaintances who can give us quality wood at cheap prices," said a member of the guild.
"We also have other necessary materials, do you know the way have it easily?" Ask Makarov. The guild members then looking at each other before they sighed. They know that it will cause much money if they buy it from local store.
"I have one!" Someone raised a hand. They saw the one who raised her hand, and it was revealed as Nymph.
"Nymph! What are you saying!" Whispered Pyrus toward her angrily.
"What's the matter, Nymph. you have a plan?" Makarov asked and she nodded.
"Who's that girl?" Asked Macao.
"Maybe Pyrus' acquaintance" guesses Wakaba.
"We can use my power to make all kinds of building materials," Nymph told them with a big smile.
"WHAAAAAAAT!?" They are all surprised, while Pyrus facepalm because Nymph leaked his secret.
"Why didn't you tell us before, Nymph?" Makarov asked, chuckling as he found the jackpot.
"The thing is, I can't do it without Pyrus' permission," said Nymph, looking at Pyrus with a smile.
"Pyrus ... you must help us" Makarov walked toward him.
"but Master it will make me tired" said Pyrus to him.
"Wait, can you really do something like that, Pyrus?" Gray asked.
"With Nymph's Creation Magic... Yes, of course" answered Pyrus.
"Can you make something else?" Natsu asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I can make Materials, Weapons, Liquids, Food, Animals, and other things as long Pyrus and I know the shape of the structure," Nymph replied making the others shocked. "What a frightening magic!" The others thought.
"Wait!" Happy raised his hand.
"Yes, Happy?" Pyrus looked at him.
"Did you say you can make food and animals?" Asked Happy. Pyrus and Nymph nodded at him "can you make some fish?" Happy asked.
Nymph looked at Pyrus with a smile. Pyrus then give up and let her demonstrated.
"Of course little buddy... Here..." Nymph smiled as she aimed her hand toward Happy. Suddenly a magical golden circle appeared nearby and then a bright light appeared. When the light is cleared, the fish appear in the magical circle, make everyone amazed by this power.
"wow!" Happy said in awe as he take a bite out the fish and start eating it. His body froze as he eating and said "This fish is ... Amazing!" He exclaimed while he jumping happily.
"Awesome ... can you give me some food too? I'm starving" Natsu asked her.
"Sure ..." Nymph replied but She stopped by Pyrus.
"No!" Said Pyrus pulling Nymph toward him.
"Hey Pyrus, why not?!" Natsu whined at him.
"Nymph is not for ordering takeout!" Pyrus said to him.
"And Master Makarov, if I use this power, It will gave me a headaches and also drain my magic" he said to Makarov. ""
"But Pyrus, this is for the Guild's benefit" Makarov told him.
"I know, but... " Makarov then stare at him. And said "Remember what I told you earlier.. " Pyrus recall what Makarov said to him. (The Money is always right)
"Alright... I guess I owe you that one... " Pyrus sighed, Makarov grinned as he had his hand in Victory. With this, he will still have much money for the future.
Pyrus then raised his hand towards the sky. He then then close his eyes and begin to chant. "Divine Sword of the Gods, hear my call and obey... Clustering wishes call upon a new force, Become a new light that brightened the path that it shine upon!"
"Come forth... Stella Fantasy!"
Nymph's body glowed as she surrounded by rings of light and begin to transform into her sword form. Everyone on the guild except his family was amaze in awe by this beautiful light. Pyrus then gripped the sword and pointed forward as gold magical circle appear in the ground.
"Divine Construct: Wood!" The magical circle glow as a massive blocks of wood appear. The block of wood is twice bigger than the guild building was. Tons of wood beams and wood planks.
"Now is up to you guys to use it" Pyrus said while holding his head, Nymph transform back to her human form then looking at everyone with a smile. "So? How this?... " She asked while rising her hand up to the air as the guildmates seeing the massive block of wood in front of them.
Makarov then coughed then said "Alright boys, we have a guild to rebuild" Every man then cheers by rising their hand to the air. They begun to rebuild the guild leaving the girls and Pyrus left behind.
"Wait.. " Pyrus blinking few times "No one even thanked to me?... Aww, I am really treated terribly in this chapter" Pyrus moan as he looking at the ground.
"Don't worry, Master... I'm sure it will get batter next time.. " Nymph assure with a smile as she looking at him. "You think so?... " Pyrus raised an eyebrows looking at her.
"Maybe... " Nymph replied with avoiding eye contact with him.
-One week later-
A week has passed, Fairy Tail has begun to rebuild their guild house. they do a lot of construction to the guild building.
Lucky tried to make some wood but she made a strange statue and was eventually rejected by Macao as he was doing facepalming.
During this week, the Rune Knights of the Magic Council interrogated members of Fairy Tail who were involved in the guild war. Fortunately Pyrus collapsed on the first day of their interrogation, but on the second day they returned again to interrogate Fairy Tail. Makarov tells Pyrus to hide in a safe place.
But Pyrus know that the Rune Knights could find him easily if he was hiding. But one idea he was able to think. he flies into the sky and hides behind the clouds. The rune knight certainly can not find him up there.
After a few days, the Rune Knights give up and no longer returned. and Fairy Tail continued construction of their guild building.
Currently Natsu is taking some large beams of wood, but he can not lift it up, he then drops and crashes into the beams.
Mirajane and Happy sweatdrop see Natsu falling over the beam. While Nymph sat in a wooden box while eating ice cream, laughing at Natsu's actions.
"That's what you get trying to lift everything at once, you flame brain," Gray said as he carried a beam and passed Natsu.
"You call me what!" Natsu angrily he breaks away from the beam that falls at him.
"you wanna go?" Gray asked, they also clashed their heads with anger and red and blue aura around them. They do not know that someone is watching them, and it turns out that Juvia from Phatom Lord. she dreamed of Gray also lifting her with her blushing face.
"You two there!" A large beam wood fell upon them, making their body enter the ground like a nail with only their heads not inside the ground.
"less talking, more working!" Erza who was the one who had beaten them earlier. She now uses the clothes for construction workers with wearing a yellow helmet with the Fairy Tail emblem in front, telling them. "We're must rebuilding Fairy Tail buildings as soon as possible... even the kids are working harder than you guys" Erza pointed at Pyrus doing a little jog carrying more beam of wood than Natsu wanted to lift. he passed the three of them as if he did not see them and focused on his work while whistling.
"But Pyrus is very strong ..." Natsu pointed to him.
"yeah! If we also have that such strength then we also can work harder more than he is" Gray this time agrees with Natsu. Before they both have bumps on their heads.
"Ooh yeah?.." Erza pointed to the right. They both look at it and see Rayna picking up three beam of wood easily with Alice's help. Making Natsu and Gray sweatdrop and questioning how strong that little girl is.
"and that ..." Erza pointed at Tommy who alone lifted a beam of wood although he looked troubled but he kept lifting it, making Natsu and Gray's mouth wide open.
"Now go back to work!" Erza yells at them.
"okay." Natsu and Gray complied.
Makarov uses the same clothes as erza, is now installing a wooden foundation using his Titan magic to reach upwards. he used his hand like a hammer to hit the foundation
"Director, Where do I should put these?" Erza asked Makarov as she pointed to the log that she was holding.
"yes, put them over there!" Makarov pointed the location.
"Why she calling him the Director?" Jet and Droy asked to see it. they were both bandaged over their bodies.
"I will not lose!" Natsu and Gray tries to escape the ground.
"get up, you loser!". Happy said to them. Nymph can only laugh to see them and said "You guys will never beat Pyrus with that power you having"
"wait ..." Macao paused.
"Is it not too big?" Wakaba asked to see the foundation.
"While we making the blueprint, we decide to change it" Mirajane said from behind them. She also shows a picture to them "Take a look, when it is done, the building will look like this"
"Really?"
"let we see."
Macao and Wakaba said respectively
"It would be nice if it was not the same way it used to be." Natsu sees the picture.
"What kind of guild would it be?" Gray asked and also looked at the picture shown.
"I hope it can change into flying fortress" Pyrus who appeared suddenly said to see the picture.
The picture looks like a picture made by kindergarten children drawn using colorful crayon,
"uhh."
"this is different."
Macao and Wakaba said respectively with confused faces.
"I totally didn't understand this" Natsu said with very confused face "very creative..." Pyrus commented.
"But man, this is really crappy, what idiot drew this?" Gray asked as he looked at the picture.
Mirajane just smiled sweetly to hear Gray say like that before she cried and Gary tries to calm her down.
"You made her cry again." Pyrus and the others glared at Gray.
"And that's Gray ..." Happy said mockingly.
"That's right, Master Gray is only kind at Juvia alone!" Juvia watched from behind the wall with a smile of victory.
-Then-
It's time for lunch. Natsu, Pyrus and the others rest together. Natsu was stretching his aching hand while Gray sat down on a rock. Pyrus sat in a wooden box near them, while Nymph sat beside him and ate candy.
Gray says that he is hungry, then comes the water gushing towards Natsu and makes him surprised as well as Happy and Tommy. Unbeknownst to them, a lunch box was in front of Gray. the others saw Gray's face as he opened the lunch box. when opened, the box contains food and forms Gray's face, with pieces of Pineapple and Vegetables that make word 'Love' on the croquette. the box has three containers and the contents of the container other than the most above look very disgusting
"Looks interesting..." Natsu said.
"I know!... this is called the lunch character!" Happy exclaimed
"Aw... I wish I could also have that lunch" thought Pyrus in his mind.
"Can I eat something like this?" Asked Gray in a weary tone of "Something disgusting ..." This making the one who made it feel like a arrow stabbed her heart.
"Let me have it!..." Natsu exclaimed. he now eats something that looks like a octopus tentacles, Pyrus added lethargic look at the food. at that moment, his sister happily ran towards him with carrying something that looks like a lunch box that warped in clothes with Alice flying behind her.
"Big Brother! I made you a lunch!" Rayna stopped in front of him with a big smile on her face, Pyrus was frozen because he was too happy that his sister made a lunch for him.
-Pyrus's Mind-
in his mind, there was a pack of little Pyrus who were having fun while celebrating as if they were getting their salary from this unpaid job.
"Yes!" Pyrus (A) exclaimed happily.
"Finally, we got it!" Pyrus (B) said while dancing cheerfully.
"Thank you Rayna!" Pyrus (C) thanked her.
"Okay guys, after a long time, the thing that we've been waiting for is finally here!... let's party!" Pyrus (D) said, they all cheered cheerfully.
While Dracyan watched them from far away with a strange look and said. "What...the...fuck? . . . Who are these guys?!" Dracyan said with a large sweatdrop.
-back to Pyrus-
Pyrus was pleased with the attention of his sister. he hugged Rayna and rubbing his cheek with Rayna's cheek. "Thank you so much, Sis!" Pyrus thanked her, this makes Rayna a bit embarrassed and trying to escape from his hug. Natsu and Gray are much more focused with the food that Gray has in his hands.
"Big Brother! Let go of me...You making me a little embarrassed" Rayna said, Pyrus had let Rayna out of hug. he immediately took the lunch box, opened the cloths that revealing to have three container. His can't wait to see what kind of food inside it, he thought that it will have shaped like his face, he then open it up then Pyrus's eyes blinking a few times, looking at the contents of the box were omelet, some meat and vegetables shaped like Tommy and Alice.
"Uh... Is this, Tommy and Alice?" Pyrus asked her, then she hooded. "You don't like them?... I made it just one hour ago" Rayna said with a sad face. Alice that behind her, glared at Pyrus sharply.
"No... I like them, thanks again Sis" Pyrus replied as Rayna then smiled. He then grab a spoon from inside the launch box and begin to eat. "Hey, Master! Can I have a bite?" Nymph asked adorably, Pyrus and Rayna looked at each other before they nooded.
"Well, it's enough for all of us... " Rayna gesturing at Tommy, Alice, and Nymph. Nymph brought a fork out in thin air, and take one meat in the box.
"Woah!... This is very delicious!" Nymph happily said holding her cheek in delightful. The twins is also take a bite from other container, when they eat it, it making making them have to agree with Nymph. "You're right, this is very delicious..." Alice said. "Your cooking skills are improve, Rayna!" Tommy commented as he take another bite.
"Wow, Pyrus... What's that your eating? Can I have some?" Natsu asked while still munching the octopus tentacles. "No!" Pyrus quickly replied as he quickly eating the food.
"Who said that you can eat!.. " Erza suddenly appear out of nowhere, shocking all of them. "Wait, isn't that... A launch character?" Erza asked as they nooded. Erza then brought out a fork then stabbed at Gray's character head making him surprise as Erza begin to eat it. Unknown to them that a certain water mage has crying on back of the wall. Erza then Proceed towards Pyrus's launch box and take one that looked like Tommy's character eye, making him surprise.
"You know what, this taste very good" Erza said making Rayna smiles in happiness. "Thanks, I'd been working hard to make it, but it still didn't compare of what Big brother made... " Rayna said.
"You will be a good wife in the future" Erza said with a smile to Rayna, making a huge blush on her face.
"Rayna ain't never going to marry! I banning the idea forever!" Pyrus stated calmly with his hand on his waist. Making them sweatdrop as Rayna hammering Pyrus's back.
"Why are you saying that!? Stop making me embarrassed!" Rayna angrily with huge blush on her face as she hammering her overprotective brother.
"So... You don't want that delicious lunch?" Erza asked Gray "Really?..." Gray then begun to eat the food in the launch box from his secret admirer.
"Wow! You're right!... " Gray said while keep eating.
"Natsu, Gray, Erza... " someone calling them, and it revealed to be Loke.
"Will you give this to Lucy? It's her key" Loke nervously showed Lucy's Gate keys to them. Loke also looks that he's not well.
"Oh you, I thought I haven't seeing you for a while" Gray said.
"So all this time you're just looking for this thing?" Natsu asked.
"Are you okay? You didn't look healthy" Happy pointed out, floating near them.
"Thank you, I'm fine" Loke assure.
Happy says Lucy is not here and it looks like she's resting at her home. Natsu also suggested to visit her.
"I'm not coming" Loke said "You know, I have a fear of Celestial Wizards" He turned and walk away from there.
"Really?, but Lucy's still Lucy" Natsu said, putting his hands behind his head.
"Natsu, We all have our own weaknesses" Erza said.
"Like Pyrus who is afraid of eggplant?" Tommy said at once, causing Pyrus to hit his head. Nymph looks at Loke away with a suspicious look, knowing there's something weird with Loke.
"That guy, is not an ordinary person. And why his life force is slowly fading away?" Nymph thought in suspicious.
-Later-
"Lucy!"
"How is it going!?" Natsu and Happy enters her room past the Window.
"Do not enter through Window!" Gray enter past the chimney said to Natsu.
"Speak for yourself" Pyrus said, entering Lucy's room using Nymph's teleportation magic with Nymph in her sword form and Tommy beside him.
"Enter through the door...will you" Erza said while drinking tea on Lucy's dining table along with Rayna and Alice. "So you came too after all" Gray said. "We're very worried about her" Rayna stated
"It's quite in here" Pyrus stated. "Wonder where she is... " Tommy mutters
They all realize that something is wrong. Usually when they come, Lucy will throw things at them. Gray think there's a cliché scenario where Lucy is in the bathroom and thinks Lucy will throw something at him if he goes into the bathroom. Gray goes desperately into the bathroom, but he finds Natsu inside the bathtub. making Gray annoyed that Natsu had done it wrong. Erza guessed she's must be go out, while she wrapped in a towel trying to take baths but is stopped by Gray.
"Lucy!" Happy searched into a drawer but found something that surprisingly to all the grownups and cats. "Wow!" Tommy with wide eyes sees this. while Alice covered her mouth with a flushed face and said "Oh my... "
"Is there an underwear like this?" Happy asked, shaking.
"This is... An underwear?" Gray asked with a tremble.
"When did she wear something like this?" Erza asked. "While eating?" Natsu guessed. they shook their heads and said it was impossible.
"wait, this is very dangerous, it better to close it again before-"
"Umm... what exactly are you guys seeing?" Gray's words cut off as Rayna asked to try to see what they meant, they shouted in panic because they did not want this girl to see things she should not see at her age now. "Close your eyes Rayna! I don't want you to lose your innocence" Pyrus covered her eyes and dragged her away from there.
"Ehh?... you're so mean Big brother, I want to look too!" Rayna tried to get rid of her brother's hand.
"No way!..." Pyrus shouted as Gray closed the drawer again.
they back looking for where Lucy, Erza walked to her study desk and found a note. Happy pulled out a drawer again as he fell, knocking over the contents of the drawer, which were various undelivered letters.
"Mom, finally I got into Fairy Tail ..." Natsu sat and read one of the letters.
"Hey, don't read it!" Gray tells Natsu not to read the letter because it's Lucy's personal property.
"Today, I met Erza, she is very beautiful and cool, Then Natsu, Gray, a brother and sister named Pyrus and Rayna ..." Natsu continued reading the contents of the letter. Gray and Pyrus also picked up the letter.
"What are all these letters to his mother?" Gray asked to see one of the letters.
"It seems so ..." Pyrus open one of the letter he held "Hey, this one seems about me" Pyrus said with smile "Dear Mom, I've met many strong mages in Fairy Tail. One of them is a boy named Pyrus, I met him in a magic items shop before the day I join Fairy Tail. Apparently he lost his sister in Hargeon town while he not looking where he was going..." Pyrus read it quietly at the last part, knowing Rayna was glaring at his back.
"Why she didn't send this?" Natsu asked.
"It because she runway from home" Gray said
"She made notes." Erza mutters "look, Lucy left a note" Erza picked up a paper that was overwritten by a ink bottle.
"I'm going home" Erza and Rayna read the note together.
"What!" The boys shouted in confusion.
"Did she leave the guild!?" Natsu shouted.
"Did she still feel responsible for what happened?" Gray asked
"WAAAAH! Lucy!" Happy cried with many tears out from his eyes like a fountain.
"We've to take her back to us!" Erza exclaimed.
"Wait Erza! I think she have a reasons" Rayna assume. "Yeah! Calm down for a sec... " Pyrus said.
"Yeah, I know... The reason is... She wants to leave Fairy Tail... Come on guys! Let take Lucy back!" Erza said "Aye sir!" Happy and Natsu agree as they go to the train station with Gray following along with them.
Pyrus, Rayna, and the twins still didn't move a little bit, while a bit confused at them. "You know that we could use my power to teleport us to Lucy's right?" Nymph said to them.
"Better not... " Pyrus said as they begun to follow the others toward the train station.
-Later at Heartfilia Complex-
After telling her father, Jude Heartfilia, that she no longer wants him interfering in her life, and that if he did he would pay for it, Lucy now finds herself standing in front of a statue of an angel, which was actually the grave of her mother, Layla Heartfilia. She was just standing there, proud of what she did, and more than likely thinking that her mother would be proud too.
"Lucy!" came Natsu's voice as she turned to see him, as well as Gray, Happy, Erza, Pyrus, Tommy, Rayna, and Alice running towards her. Happy flew straight into Lucy's chest, tears falling freely from his eyes.
"Lucy! We're here to bring you back to Fairy Tail!" Natsu proclaimed.
"What? No, it's a misunderstanding," Lucy said as she waved her hand. "I just had some business to take care of here, I wouldn't dream of leaving Fairy Tail." This left the group speechless, as Erza and Rayna soon started to laugh, the latter harder than the former, mainly because Natsu was complaining about how worried she made them all. But Lucy couldn't help but start laughing as well.
"You went to visit your mom's grave!?" Natsu shouted.
"Yup," Lucy answered.
"Eh? That means your mom's…?" Happy said.
"Happy, shut it!" Gray said, cutting off the cat.
"Sorry I made you guys worry so much," Lucy apologized.
"I wasn't worried at all, it was all these idiots," Pyrus said as he jerked his thumb at the senior Fairy Tail members."Man! I got all anxious over nothing," Gray complained.
"Just drop it already!" Erza shouted. "It's our fault for jumping to conclusions in the first place!"
"Well, not all of us..." Rayna sweatdrop as Alice in her arm.
"Happy was crying the whole time!" Natsu said, no longer angry.
"N-No I wasn't!" Happy denied.
"I gotta say though, this town is huge!" Gray said.
"Ah…well…this is just the garden," Lucy said as she then pointed towards the mountains. "My family owns all the land up to those mountains." This surprised everyone except the former Sieghart into silence. "Huh? What's wrong?" Lucy asked.
"Your excellency!" Natsu said as he saluted.
"It is an honor to know someone so humble!" Gray said, also saluting.
"Natsu and Gray are down for the count!" Happy said. "Captain Erza, your thoughts please!"
Erza was silent for a moment before looking up at the sky and said. "The sky…is blue…" even though it's already sunset.
"We've lost the Captain too!" Happy said, now turning to Pyrus, Rayna, and the twins. "You four are our last hope!" Making the four of them sweatdrop.
"You four seems not very surprise.. " Lucy said to them.
"Well, is not like we never seeing a rich family, right Tommy?" Pyrus said glancing at his partner that flying beside him.
"Roger! It's natural for a rich family for having a large estate" Tommy exclaimed while rising his paw.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about you guys" Lucy laughed awkwardly realized that the four once came from a nobles family.
"Well, that's enough of that," Erza said as she continued walking. "Let's head back home."
"Yeah," Lucy said as she smiled. "Back home, back to Fairy Tail."
