by T.C Shelton

A celestial spirit named Raid, along with his silent partner Crush join a guild called Fairy Tail, and set off on an adventure to take down a dark guild with a nasty plot in mind.

1. FT: MoH season 1 (Raid)

A shadow and a being with black wings stand by a mirror, along with Loki, the leo zodiac. "Are you sure this is what you guys really want to do. Once you touch this thing, you go from most sprits hate you, to all spirits. The mirror of humanity is forbidden" says Loki. The shadow nods, and the black wing for soon after. "Alright. A good place to start should be fairy tail. You guys should check it out. I used to be a member" says Loki. The shadow and blackwing approach the mirror. They both gently place their hands on it, and a light flashes. They disappear. "Good luck" says Loki. A while later the shadow wakes up and looks down to see he has a human body. He screams in suprisment and rushes over to a nearby lake to see himself Hes a slender male, he has grey hair. He's a teenager, no more than 18. His blue eyes stair back at him from the water. "So this is a human body. It's got so many features" says the shadow exitedly. Then he looks over to see a brown haired male, about 16. He's a little shorter than most. The brown haired teen looks at the shadow and narrows it's gaze. "Uh...hello" says the shadow nervously. The brown haired teen charges at the shadow, but he dodges and the punch impacts a nearby rock, shattering it. The shadow has a flashback of the blackwing doing something similar in the celestial world. "Wait is that you blackwing" asks the shadow as the teen readies a punch. The teen stops. "It's me, the shadow" says the shadow. The blackwing stops his punch and looks the shadow over. He then turns red. "Whats the matter" asks the shadow. The blackwing covers his eyes and points down. The shadow looks down to notice he's naked. He turns red and covers himself. "Of course these things don't spawn with clothes" says tge shadow. Then a girl walks up the hill. She has blonde hair and shes humming to herself. She stops and looks at the shadow and the blackwing. "Uh...I know what this looks like but I can-" starts the shadow. "Oh my, did you two get robbed" she asks in suprisment. "Uh, yeah. Yeah we did" says the shadow unconvincingly. "Well thats no good. Wait here. I'll bring you back some clothes" she says rushing off. The shadow looks over at the blackwing to see that he has his arms crossed and is doing nothing to hide himself. "Cover yourself you pervert" says the shadow. The blackwing roles his eyes and grabs a leaf from a nearby tree. "I am not over reacting" says the shadow. The blackwing looks at the shadow. "So what? At least in my shadow form you couldn't see anything" said the shadow. The blackwing smirks. "How could you say that. I thought we were friends" says the shadow. The girl returns with some clothes in each hand. The two quickly get changed. The shadow now wears a blue t-shirt, a black sleeveless jacket, black pants, and shoes, and a pair of sunglasses on top his head. The blackwing is no wearing a waiter uniform. "Sorry, its the only thing I could find that could fit you right now. You can get something else later" says the girl. The blackwing smiles. "I think it looks good to pal" says the shadow. "But he didn't say anything" said the girl. "He doesn't have to. I know what he means" says the shadow. "Oh that's so cool. Can you read minds" she asks excitedly. "Is...that common among humans" asks the shadow. "No silly. I've never met anyone who could other than you" she says. "I can't. I just kinda know, right pal" ask the shadow. The blackwing looks at him. "See, he agrees" says the shadow. "Oh yeah, what are your names" the girl asks suddenly. Surprise and fear fills the shadows face. "Names" he ask nervously. "Yep. Mines Lily" says the girl. The shadow looks at the blackwing who shrugs its shoulders. "Wow your a lot of help" says the shadow in a sarcastic tone. Lily waits patiently. "Uh...I'm...Raid...and this is...(has a quick flashback of the blackwing crushing the rock)...Crush!...yes ma'am. Those are our names. Raid and Crush" says the shadow. Crush looks at Raid. "I don't care if you don't like it. I didn't see you coming up with anything" says Raid. Raid realizes he said that out loud and looks at Lily who still fully believes Raids crappy stories. "Those are odd names, but reeeeeeeeeeally cool" she says exitedly. Raid looks suprised. He has a quick flashback of Loki. "Oh yeah, hey do you know where to find fairy tail" asks Raid. Lily looks exited and grabs Raid and Crush's hands. "Follow me" she says exitedly. She drags them clear to a huge building with a sign on it with a fairy. "Uh, is this it" asks Raid. Lily happily nods. "I'm a member" she says moving her hair to reveal a fairy tail symbol on the back of her neck. "Really that's great, do you think you could get me an audience with your boss" asks Raid. "Maybe, but it'll cost you" she says. "Uh, I've got no money though" says Raid. Lily shakes her head. "I'll get you your audience if you join Fairy Tail" she says. "Why would you want us to join" ask Raid. Lily looks at the ground with a sorrowful look. "This branch of the guild only has 15 members, and we have a reputation of being outcast. The committee told us unless we need to do something to improve either our numbers or reputation. If we don't, then this branch will get shut down" said Lily. "Wouldn't you guys just merge with the bigger one" ask Raid. Lily puts her hand on the building. "It's not about the name. It's about this building, these people" says Lily. Raid and Crush look at each other. "Look I know we have something to do, but this girl helped us, now we need to do the same. Besides, we need to talk to the boss guy anyways" says Raid. Crush thinks for a moment then nods. "Alright then, consider us joined" says Raid. "Great, let's hurry in and sign you up" Lily says cheerfully as she opens up the doors. As soon as Raid and Crush step in an ice shard flies right past Raid. "Who are you" asks a girl with brown hair. She wore a black hoodie and had a ponytail. "Uh...Hi. I'm Raid and very scared right now" says Raid hiding behind Crush. Crush turns to Raid and looks at him. "Oh yeah, and uh, this is Crush" says Raid. "I sense darkness from the scrawny one" says an older man with long black hair. "Then he must be a dark guild member" says the girl with the ponytail as she prepares another ice attack. "WAIT! These are my new friends, and they want to join Fairy Tail" says Lily. "Your too easily swayed Lily. The last people who joined were dark guild members. Step aside and let Winter handle this" says a guy with shaggy brown hair and a jacket. He also has a red headband around his head. Winter sends three more ice spikes at Raid and Crush, but a wall of ice stops them. Raid and Crush look at each other in confusion. "Have you lost your fairy tail pride? Two members graciously come, and we can't give them the benefit of the doubt" asks a man with a cold smile. "Gerard you know what happened last time" says the guy with the headband. "And what? A few rotten seeds and your ready to give up the whole apple? We should at the very least let Master Warren meet them" says Gerard. The guy nods. Then a man with a bushy white beard and stern look walks out of a room. "I'm sorry for the rude introductions. Fate has not been kind to our little family here lately. I am Master Warren. The girl who tried to attack you is Winter, the impatient boy is Hiroshi, the man with long hair is Nako, the one who saved you skins is Gerard, (He points up at the S class floor), The girl with the cloak is Mari, the one with glasses is Laslow, the one with the blue hair is Mushi, and you've already met Lily" says the man. "She are the rest of your members" asks Raid. Lily looks down. "A few days ago, a few guys can in pretending to want to join. In our dilemma we thought they were miracles and let them join. But in the night they kidnapped two of our other members, Red and Elora. The others are all out doing jobs" says Lily sadly. "Tell you what, well test you two. Fail and deal with the consequences. Succed and earn your place here" says Master Warren. "You must be joking" says Winter. "Your test is to find our missing girls, and bring them back to safety. You'll be watched by two of our own to see if you've got what it takes" says Master Warren. "Oh oh I'll go" says Lily. "Yes, you and Winter will go and see what these two got" says Master Warren. "Why me" asks Winter. "Because, if they can impress you, then they MUST be talented" says Master Warren. Winter sighs. "What can you guys do" ask Winter. "I'm a shadow- a uh, shadow wizard" says Rain nervously. Winter looks at Crush. "What about you" she asks. Crush looks at Raid. "Don't look at me. Your on your own" says Raid. Crush narrows his gaze. "Yeah I know you can't speak, but whats your magic" asks Raid. Winter raises her eye brow. "Uh...its a surprise" says Raid. "Wait, is he the one who can read minds" asks Lily exitedly. "No he can't read mind" says Raid. "That's just what you want me to think because of the surprise isn't is" she asks as though she has it all figured out. "He can't read minds...can he" asks Raid looking at Crush. Crush smirks. "Don't give me the silent treatment. Answer me" says Raid. Winter grabs both Raid and Lily by the ears. "Can we go now" asks Winter. "Yes ma'am" says Raid as he, Crush, Lily and Winter depart.

Episode 2: The Ice princess

Almost a whole day later they are walking up a grassy hill. "Human. Bodies. Suck" says Raid as he gasps for air and falls. "Is that seriously all you have in you" ask Winter. He gives her a thumbs up and slams his face to the ground. Winter sighs. "Guess we'll make camp so princess can rest" says Winter as he looks at Crush. Crush sets down the bags on his back and he and Winter put up camp while Lily fans Raid. That night Winter is sitting by the campfire. Lily and Crush are sleeping in sleeping bags a small distance off. Raid walks up behind Winter. "Look I'm sorry for being...me. They call me the ice princess for a reason" says Winter. Raid takes a seat next to her. "Its okay. No need to apologize. I'm just glad you didn't actually hit me" says Raid with a laugh. Winter hangs her head in shame. "Look, I get it. You wasn't sure-" started Raid. "Aren't sure" Winter corrected. "You aren't sure if me ad Crush can be trusted. It's nice that your trying to protect your friends" said Raid. "Winter doesn't respond for a moment. "Don't pretend like you know me" she says without looking at him. Raid rubs the back of his head. "Your right. I don't know you. How about this, well take turns asking each other questions" says Raid. "Why" she asks in a distrustful tone. "It's only in the interest of getting to know each other. We don't have to if you-" started Raid. "Fine, but I get first question" she says. "Go ahead" asks Raid. "Where are you from" asks Winter. Raid looks at the fire, but says nothing. "Forget it-"started Winter. "The celestial world" says Raid. Winter looks at him disbelievingly. "Me and Crush agreed not to tell anyone because it would only complicate things, but i can't expect you to trust me if I don't trust you" says Raid. "How does that work" asks Winter. "I believe its my question" says Raid. Winter nods. "Why the ice princess" asks Raid. "It's a nickname I was given because of my affinity for the ice...and my cold heart" she says reluctantly. "I don't think that's true at all. You tried to protect your friends, you apologized to me for attacking and now your taking the chance to get to know me. I don't think those are the actions of a cold hearted person" says Raid. Winter blushes a little. "Back to my question" she says abruptly, tying to change the subject. "The short version is, me and Crush broke several celestial laws to become humans, but it's to save the world" says Raid. "From what" she asks. "My question again" says Raid. Winter nods. "Are you happy in Fairy Tail" asks Raid. "Yes, very much so. My family history is complicated, and I had trouble with people, but Fairy Tail took me in and treated me like family" says Winter, glancing over at Raid as if repeating her question. "It's complicated. But a group of very evil, and very powerful beings are going to attack the celestial world and then the human world" says Raid. "You know you sound crazy right" she says. "Yeah, but I can show you something as a small chunk of proof, but you have to promise not to tell anyone" says Raid. Winter nods. Raid pulls out a pure black celestial key. "Whats that" she asks. "My key. The gate of shadows. In the celestial world, I was little more than a shadow. Now here I'm human" says Raid looking at his hand. "That must make you sad. Your away from home, surrounded by a bunch of this and people you don't know about" says Winter. "Not really. I'm from the dark side of the celestial world. The worst side. Endless darkness, slavery, pain, suffering. It's all there is to the place" says Raid. Winter doesn't say anything. "I realize that this must sound like insanity, but it's the truth. Please don't go spreading it around though. I'd rather not everyone think I were crazy" says Raid with a smile. "The strange thing is I believe you. I don't know why, everything you said sounds crazy. But I feel like you were honest" says Winter. Raid smiles at her. "Don't worry. We'll find your friends" says Raid as he goes to stand up. Winter grabs his leg. "Mind if i ask 1 more question" she asks. "Only if I get to ask one first" says Raid. Winter nods. "What are the other members of Fairy Tail like" asks Raid. Winter smiles. "That's something you'll need to find out yourself" said Winter with a smile. Raid laughs. "Well thats not much of an answer, but I'll take it" says Raid. "Why do you want to join Fairy Tail" asks Winter. "Well it seems like it means a lot, to both you and Lily. Lily helped me when I first arrived in this world. At first, I was only going to join to make it up to her, but after seeing how much it means to both of you, I want to join to keep something that makes people happy around" says Raid. Winter blushes. "Well I'm going to sleep. You should do the same" says Winter quickly walking over to her sleeping bag. Raid looks at the fire. (Inner monologue) "I wonder if all humans are like this. Full of emotions and like to talk. I suppose I'll find out". Raid walks over to his sleeping bag and lays down. He looks at the stars, and smiles. (Inner monologue). "Wow, whatever those dancing lights are, they are pretty. I wonder if they'll be here again tomorrow".

Episode 3: The key to victory

The next morning everyone wakes up and prepares to set out. "Yay! I'm so exited! I can tell today is going to be another good day" says Lily cheerfully. Raid and Winter both look dead tired. Lily giggles. "You've never been a morning person Winter" says Lily with a giggle. Raid yawns. "Someone turn off the sun so I can get some more sleep" says Raid. Crush shoots him a look. "I know, I know. Early bird gets the worm" says Raid with a sigh. "I take it Raid isn't a morning person either" asks Lily. Crush shakes his head. "Wow, maybe he and her were made for each other" saya Lily in a teasing tone. Winters face quickly turns red. Raid looks at Winter. "Oh no! Her face is red! Does that mean she's sick? Oh man, we've gotta have something to take the fever down-" starts Raid as he starts searching through a pack. Winter walks up to Raid and puts her hand on his shoulder. "I'm fine Raid" she says. Raid turns to see her face is no longer red. "Well okay, but I'm keeping an eye on you to make sure you don't collapse" says Raid. Crush shoots Raid a look. "What do you mean I'm dense? What does that even mean" asks Raid. Crush looks away and starts packing up. "Hey don't ignore me mister" says Raid. Crush ignores him, and the group pack up the camp. They began walking. They walked for several hours until they reach a camp full of dark mages. "That's a lot of mages" says Raid. The group ducks behind a nearby rock, and Winter peers over to see Elora and Red in magic restraining collars, and locked in a cage. "That's them" says Winter. "How do we take out that many dark mages" asks Lily. "Your an S class aren't you? Can't you do something" asks Winter. "Not without hurting Red and Elora" says Lily. Then the rock shatters and the group turns around to see all the dark mages are looking right at them. "P-please don't hurt me! I'm not with them! I'll do anything" says Raid as he drops to the ground. Winter, Lily and Crush look surprised. The leader of the dark mages laughs. "Your pathetic! Run away while you can" says the leader. Raid stands up and runs out of sight. (Winters inner monologue). "I should have known. He acted so cool. I thought he was different. That he actually cared, but hes just like my family" Then the leader screams and falls to the ground. Winter looks over to see Raid standing there with 2 magic pistols in his hands. "How'd you-, when'd you-" starts Winter. "I have the ability called shadow walker. It allows for me to move from one shadow to the next, like teleportation" says Raid. "He...he really is cool" said Winter blushing. "Now Crush" yelled Raid. Crush quickly charges forward, throwing a hard punch straight into the nearest dark wizards jaw, knocking him unconscious as he hits the ground. Raid begans using his magic pistols to fire dark magic at the dark mages. "Run away" yells one dark mage. "These guys are monsters" yells another. Once they are gone Raid shoots the lock on the cage and frees Elora and Red. Red looks at Raid and instantly Blushes. She feels her heart skip a beat. Crush walks up and breaks the collars off with his bare hands. Elora bows. "I thank you for your assistance in our rescue" she says. Red is simply staring at Raid without saying a word. "Ah, hello" says Raid noticing Red staring. Red turns even more red and winks at Raid. Raid nervously laughs, but is suddenly hit in the back. Everyone looks over to see the dark guild leader standing there with his staff in hand. "Didn't I already take you down" asks Raid rubbing his back. "You merely surprised me fool. Now I'm going to show you my true power. THE POWER OF AN S CLASS WIZARD" says the leader. "Luckily we have our own S class wizard" says Raid looking at Lily. "I can't. My magic is to wild. It would hurt you guys" says Lily. "How about you Red" says Winter. Red shakes her head. "No. My power is too destructive, I would likely hurt you all as well. The disadvantage of being an S class is all your powers become incredibly dangerous" says Red. "Then it's 4 to one. We can take him no prob" says Raid. "That's what you think" says the guy. He Holds his staff towards the ground and a giant monstrous shadow appears. Then he raises the staff and an army of small shadows appear. Finally he draws a line in front of him with the staff and a giant shadow with a shield appears. "Alright Crush get the the big one without the shield" says Raid. Crush charges and punches the shadow put his fist goes right through, then the shadow backhands him backwards. Winter throws some ice spikes at the little shadows, but each one goes right through and doesn't affect them. "Y-your kidding" says Winter. Raid walks into Winters shadow and appears behind the guy. The guy quickly jabs Raid in the stomach with his staff. "Did you honestly think I would fall for the same trick twice" asks the guy. "Yeah. Yeah I kinda did" said Raid grabbing his stomach and falling down. Red looks at her hand. "I-I have to help, but my magic is-" starts Red. "Requip" says Elora. Nothing happens. "Requip" she repeats. Nothing happens. "Our magic hasn't returned" says Elora. Crush charges at the guy but the shield shadow shield bashes Crush causing him to stumble back. Winter throws ice spikes at the guy, but the shield shadow hardens it's shield and blocks them. She then forms an icy wall around herself, Red, Lily, and Elora. The small shadows claw at the ice, slowly breaking it down. "You can't possibly win! I have all the power" says the guy. "I-I might have to...to-" starts Lily as she's trembling. "Hold on Lily" says Raid. Lily looks over at Raid. "Don't do that! Don't you dare betray what you believe and harm your friends! We'll find a way to win, without harming our own" said Raid. Crush nods. "But we can't even touch them" says Elora. Raid smiles. "Oh yes we can" says Raid as he charges at the unshielded shadow. Its goes to hit Raid. "Raid look out" yells Winter, but Raid smiles, and just before impact shoots the spirit, which falls and disappears. "How did you-" starts Winter. "The shadows are mostly untouchable, but they have to solidify their bodies to attack. In other words, they can only hit us if we can hit them as well" says Raid. The dark mage smiles, as he spins his staff around and a bull shadow rams straight into Raid's gut with full speed. Raid is thrown back into a nearby wall. "DARLING" yells Red. Everyone looks at Red. "...Darling" asks Winter. "That is not important right now. That man has given us the key to victory. We must strike" says Elora. The dark mage holds up his staff again, and summons more small shadows. Winter and Crush do their best to hold off the little demons, but soon they get surrounded. Raid stands up. "He's gotta have a weakness" says Raid. He looks the guy over, and sees a black key glowing purple around his side. (Internal monologue) "No...It couldn't be". Raid looks up and sees a bird, then smiles. He charged at the shield shadow firing recklessly. As he gets close, the shield shadow goes to shield bash, but the bird flies over Raid, and he smiles as he disappears. He appears behind the guy who turns around and bashes Raid in the gut again. As Raid is falling, he grabs the key and pulls it from the guys side. All the shadows suddenly disappear. "What do you know...I really did have the "key" to victory" says Raid. The guys appearance suddenly changes, and he becomes a frail elderly man. "What the-" says Winter. "Who the-" says Lily. "Why the-" says Raid. "How the-" says Red. "Wh-who are you people" says the old man. "The people you were trying to slay moments ago" says Elora. "I-I don't know what your talking about. Wheres my wife" says the old man looking around. Raid looks at the black key. "Where did you get this" asks Raid showing the key. "I found it in an old box" says the old man. Crush narrows his gaze. "All the black keys were taken from this world centuries ago, so that's impossible" says Raid. Winter walks up. "That key-" she starts. Raid clenches his hand around the key tightly. "He doesn't know anything" says Raid turning around. "What do you mean? He was our abductor and attacker-" starts Elora. "Does he really look like an S class dark guild member to you" asks Raid. The old man is trembling in confusion. "Pl-please. Just let me see my wife" says the old man. "I don't sense any magic coming from him" says Lily. "But that's impossible" says Elora. Raid looks at the key again, then breaks it in half. He tosses it aside. "That was your culprit" says Raid. Elora looks at the key for a moment and nods. "As my rescuer I yield to your judgement" says Elora. "Come on old timer, we'll take you home" says Raid. "My darling is so noble" says Red to herself as she stares at Raid. "I-I live in a nearby village. Thank you kindly young man" says the old man. "Its not purely for your sake. I want to see this box you got this from" says Raid. "Oh sure. My wife and I keep it in an old drawer in my study" says the old man as he starts leading them down a dirt path. "I hope you don't mind the detour" Raid says looking back at everyone. "Helping people always comes first" says Lily in a happy tone. "And finding out about that strange key might shed some light on what exactly happened" says Elora. Winter looks at Raid and Crush, who both look a little disturbed. Then the group starts following the old man. Meanwhile, a man dressed in bulky armor with a beard appears in the human world. "Those black keys won't escape, even if they are humans now" says the guy as he starts walking.

Episode 4: Duel for fates

The group follow the old man down the dirt road some more, and Raid starts looking exhausted. "Darling, are you feeling alright" asks Red as she grabs his arm. "Oh yeah, about that. Whats with the darling thing" asks Raid. "Hey don't try to change the subject, if your not alright darling, I can carry you" says Red. "Hes not trying to change the subject. Its a reasonable question Red. You just met him and already your so clingy" says Winter with a hint of jeliousy. Red just smiles. "Ill tell darling someday, but first-" starts Red. "You youngsters are all so full of life. When I was your age i was the same way though. I was just a regular knight, and an arrogant one at that. I had a full head of hair and thought the world belonged to me" says the old man with a chuckle. "What happened" asks Lily. "Martha happened. I met her, and fell in love at first sight. Mind you, she didn't feel the same about the energetic and self righteous fool. I eventually won her over though" says the old man. "Oh, hows that" asks Red, now a little interested. "I was persistent. I brought flowers everyday, presents, all the romantic stuff you youth seem to take for granted. I eventually realized something. I didn't need the world, or my pride, or anything like that. I knew what I wanted was Martha. Once I told her that, she decided to go out with me. We've been together ever since" says the old man. "Thats quite the lovely story" says Elora. "Eh, you'll find thats all we old folk are good for" says the old man as he laughs. Crush suddenly stops and narrows his gaze. "What is it Crush" asks Raid. Crush pushes the old man out of the way as the man in armor jumps from a high rock and lands in the middle of the group with a crash. "Humans, hand over the shadow and blackwing" says the man. Raid and Crush look at each other nervously. The guy narrows his gaze on them. "Where whatever skin you like, it doesn't change what you are. You violated the sacred-" starts the guy. Winter catches on, and throws some ice spikes at the guy, which he easily smakes away. However, it provided the thing to make him stop talking. Winter winks at Raid, who smiles back. Red steps in front of Raid. "I won't let you take my darling away from me" she says. "And I can't just walk away" says the guy. Elora steps forward. "Then I shall duel you. The winner decides the fate of my rescuers" says Elora. The man looks at her. "Fine then, but first we shall exchange names. Its for warriors pride" says the guy. "Elora" says Elora. "Elora what" asks the guy. "M-my last name is not important! I stand before you as my own woman" says Elora. "Very well. I am Alyn" says Alyn. Raid slaps his forehead. "His name was so much cooler than ours" says Raid in disappointment. Crush shoots a look at Raid. "Yes im aware there are bigger problems right now" says Raid. "Fear not darling. He shall not take you" says Red. Raid nervously laughs. "Wait mister, why do you want to take away my new friends" asks Lily. "Because, that is my objective currently" says Alyn. "Requip" says Elora. A sword suddenly appears in her hand. Alyn holds out his hand. "Requip" says Alyn. A giant mace appears in his hand. Elora charges forth and slashes at Alyn, but Alyn easily blocks with his mace. She continuously slashes a flurry of strikes, but they are all easily blocked. "Hey no pressure Elora, but if you don't win I can kiss my ass goodbye" says Raid. Elora grunts. Alyn slams the mace down causing sand to blind Elora, then he smacks her aside with the mace, which she easily recovers from. "You took that attack well" says Alyn. Elora nods, and charges again, this time as she approaches, she kicks her foot out, and holds down the mace while she slashes Alyn. Alyn looks down and sees the blood. "A flesh wound will not take me down. Still, that was excellent technique compared to your previous attacks" says Alyn. "Elora, hold out a little longer. His magic shouldn't have settled yet, so it may give out under too much strain. If that happens the match is yours" says Raid. "Thats a lot of risks to take. Even so, I cannot beat that raw physical strength" says Elora. Elora charges, but Alyn quickly sees her coming and slams her into the stomach with it. She flies back and spits up blood but still manages to stay standing. Alyn slams his club down and more dirt fills Eloras eyes. Alyn slams her again with mace, this time into the rock Alyn jumpee off of. She hears her arm make a cracking noise. "Elora" yells Lily. Elora looks down and notices her right arm is dislocated. "Give up. I have won, and i don't want to harm you farther" says Alyn. "This pain is nothing compared to that of losing a friend" says Elora as she readies another attack. "Elora, face it you've lost" says Winter. Elora shakes her head and speeds over. She quickly kicks off her shoe in Alyns face. "Requip" she says as a sword appears between her toes. She slashes him across the chest with the foot sword, and tries with the one in her arm, but Alyn quickly moves back. Elora stands panting as well as Alyn. Alyn Eloras requips quickly disappear. "Looks like I've-" starts Alyn. Then his club appears. "Its a draw" says Alyn. "Then I suggest you come try again some other time" says Winter. Alyn looks over at Elora whos barely standing, then over at Raid and Crush. "You two don't seem like dangerous criminals" says Alyn. Both Raid and Crush give goofy smiles. "What is your intent" asks Alyn. "Our...intent" asks Raid. Alyn nods. Raid thinks for a moment. "To save the world of course" says Raid. Alyn nods. "Very well. I was told to handle this as I see fit. I will monitor you as you continue are now. However, if anything points to you being evil, I will cut you down. Furthermore, I wish to battle this girl again. She's quite good" says Alyn. Raid and Crush look at each other nervously. Red gives Alyn a death stare. "Im content with letting you come, but never lay a finger on my darling" she says grabbing Raids arm tightly. "Im not sure who im more afraid of at this point" says Raid with a nervous laugh. Alyn walks over and picks up Elora. "Wh-what are you-" she starts. "Be calm. Your injured, and it would be difficult for you to walk with these injuries" says Alyn. Winter walks over and prys Red off of Raids arm. "The next town isn't far. You can both get healed there, so lets move on" says Winter. The group continue on and soon reach the village. "Uh, alright now what" asks Raid. "We should split up. Alyn and Elora can go get healed. The rest of us can go see that box" says Winter. Everyone nods and they go in two separate directions. The old man leads them to a big building, and he opens the door. An old woman sits alone in a chair, when the door opens her eyes light up. "Regnis" she yells running up and hugging him. "Martha I've missed you" he says hugging her back. "We shouldn't ruin this" says Lily. "This sort of happiness is what I fight for" says Raid. After a few moments, the elderly couple separate. "Who are these guest dear" asks Martha. "This fine young people saved me from an evil key, and helped me get back home. They want to see that old box we've had" says Regnis. "Oh, thank you, and bless you all. You have no idea how much my dear Regnis means to me" says Martha. Red glances over at Raid, but says nothing. "Can I make you kids some food as thanks. Your all terribly thin, yoi need meat on them bones. Especially if you want boys to notices" says Martha winking at the girls. Red and Winter both look at their stomachs, then at Raid. Raid nervously chuckles. "I've got an idea. How about you girls help Martha with the cooking, and the young men can come see the box" says the Regnis. "Yay! I've never cooked before" says Lily. "I suppose a good wife should be able to cook" says Red. "Not really my thing, but I suppose I can help" says Winter. Then all the girls go to the kitchen. The Regnis leads Raid and Crush to the study and pulls out an old box from a drawer. Its simply a brown wood box. "Can I...open it" asks Raid. "Be my guest" says Regnis. Raid opens the box. Its empty on the inside except a symbol on the upper inner side. Its a snake wrapped around a boney scythe. "What does that symbol mean" asks Raid. "I haven't the foggiest. It could be anything really, but if I had to guess, it may be a guild symbol" says Regnis. Raid and Crush nod. "Thank you for allowing me to see this" says Raid. "Oh anytime young man. In fact, if your ever in town again, stop by and visit" says Regnis. He starts leading them back to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Alyn and Elora are walking down the street healed. "That healers magic was quite useful" says Alyn. Elora stares off. "Does something trouble you" asks Alyn. Elora has a flash of her mother and clenches her fist. "Im fine" she says. Alyn stares at her for a moment. "Are you trying to deceive me or yourself" asks Alyn. Elora looks at Alyn. "You fought a good fight. Most would not have faired as good as you did. You impressed me. There is no shame in a draw" says Alyn. "Erza Scarlett would have won" Elora mumbles as she turns away. Lily comes running up. "Oh there you are. We were getting ready to eat. You and Elora need to come fast, or it will get cold" says Lily playfully pulling on Alyns arm. The two nod, and make their way back to the house. The group have dinner, and then set out for an inn. Red walks nearly shoulder to shoulder with Raid. "You seem to be quite attached to the shadow" says Alyn. Red turns to Alyn but doesn't say anything. "Hey bub. "The shadow" has a name. Try using it" says Winter. Alyn turns to Winter. "I am sorry. I suppose I should try adressing the two by name for now. You are Raid and Crush" says Alyn. Raid nods back at Alyn. "I shall remember those names" says Alyn. The group passes an alley, and Raid stops. "Whats the matter. You've been quiet for a while now" asks Winter. "...You guys go on ahead" says Raid. "But-" starts Winter. Crush gently grabs Winters shoulder and nods. The group makes their way on, leaving Raid alone by the alley. He slumps down on the ground and looks at the house across the street. He has a flashback of a cute girl with brown hair waving at him. "Why did it have to be this place" asks Raid looking up at the sky. He sees the stars and a tears role down his cheeks. "I guess fate has a sense of humor" says Raid. Meanwhile the group find and inn and check in. A little while later, Alyn catches Red trying to sneak off. "Are you seeking out Raid" asks Alyn. "I need to know how darling is. I-" starts Red. "Tell me why you are so attached to him" says Alyn. Red stays silent for a while. "When I was a little girl, I used to dream about a hero coming to save me. That hero, was always the same man. Now, many years later, I get kidnapped and the same man from my dreams swoops in and saves the day. I know he and I are fated together. Thats why I saw him in my dreams. Thats why he came to save me. And thats why I'll never let you harm him" says Red. Alyn looks a little surprised. "He will be fine" says Alyn as he walks back in his room. As Raid sits by the alley, a dark figure starts approaching from the shadows.

Episode 5: Cotton

The figure falls to the ground, taking a trashcan with it, making a crash. Raid turns around to see a small black cat with white wings. "Oh crap! Uh, what is this thing" asks Raid picking it up. The cat is badly bruised and scrapped. Raid nods and rushes over to the healers hut. He bangs on the door until the now awoken healer comes. "Look, just let me sleep kid. You don't-" starts the guy. "This thing need help! Its bruised and scrapped, and it passed out" says Raid. The healer looks at the cat. "Is this your cat" asks the guy. "No, I'm not even sure its a cat, just help it" says Raid. The guy holds up his hand, and it starts glowing around the cat. "There, now let a guy sleep" says the guy closing the door. Raid sees a guy bringing in a net full of fish. "Hey can I get a fish for this cat" asks Raid. "Oh, is that your cat" asks the guy. "No. I found it injured, and just got it healed. I imagine it will be hungry when it wakes up though" says Raid. The guy with the fish laughs and tosses Raid a fish. "Keep that good heart kiddo" says the guy as he walks away. Raid gently lays the cat down and wraps its paws around the fish. The cat opens its eyes a little. "You stay safe now" says Raid walking away. Crush, Winter, and Red all wait by the front door. "What are you even doing here?! Im the only one who darling should see when he gets here" says Red. "Stop acting like you own him. Besides, I've known him longer" says Winter. Crush rolls his eyes as the girls look angrily at each other. Alyn walks in the room. So, the shadow is still out" asks Alyn. "Yeah, im worried about my darling. What if hes cold and needs my gentle embrace to keep him warm" asks Red. "Its more likely he'd get mugged. Hes too...nice" says Winter. Raid walks in the front door and Red quickly tackles him to the ground. "Darling! I was so worried about you! Now, I am ready to warm your heart, as well as your bed" she says with a wink. "Not a chance. Im not letting you anywhere near him tonight, or any other" says Winter. Alyn whacks both girls on the head, and helps Raid up. Crush shoots Raid a look. "I was helping a cat thing" says Raid. Crush narrows his gaze. "That's it" says Raid. Crush keeps his gaze on. "Look its personal okay" says Raid. "Darling? There isn't perhaps a woman I need to ki-I mean meet" asks Red in a slightly scary tone. "Woman" asks Raid in confusion. Crush slaps his forehead. "I AM NOT DENSE...why do you keep saying that" asks Raid. Crush just looks away. "Hey don't ignore me" says Raid. "He doesn't have a girlfriend. That includes you" says Winter narrowing her gaze on Red. Red grabs Raid's arm and sticks out her tongue. "Well, its late. We should get to bed" says Alyn. "I call dibs with darling" says Red. "No way I'd let that happen. Raid will bunk with me so I can protect him from your claws" says Winter. "Uh, actually. Id just rather be alone tonight" says Raid as he walks past. Everyone looks at each other in concern. Later that night, Lily knocks on Raids door. "Raid? Are you awake" asks Lily. No answer. "We're all worried about you. You haven't seemed very happy here lately" says Lily. No answer. "I guess your asleep" she says not fully convinced as she walks away. Inside Raid lays staring at the ceiling. He pulls out his key and holds it up. He clenches it in his hand and puts it back in his pocket. The next morning he wakes up to see a guy with black hair sleeping in bed next to him. He quickly jumps out of bed. "Who the heck are you" asks Raid. The guy wakes up and turns to Raid. "Oh. Good morning master" he says with a yawn. "M-master" asks Raid. "Yup yup" says the guy. "Uh, listen. I'm not into guys" says Raid. The guy tilts his head in confusion. "Perhaps if i take a form your more used to" says the guy. He quickly turns into the cat from before. "Y-Your that cat from last night" says Raid. "Yep. Names Cotton. Im an exceed, and your my new best friend" says the cat as he winks and stands up and gives a thumbs up. "Uh...why" asks Raid. "Because, you gave me a delicious fishy, and you helped me get better" says Cotton. Red walks in naked. "Ohhh Darlinnnnng" she says. Raid and Cottons eyes widen. "Like what you see darling? I hope you do. Its all yours" she says. She glances over and sees Cotton. "Awe, and you got us a kitty to share" says Red. Red gets frozen from the neck down. Raid looks over to see Winter looking angry in the doorway. "Master. Do you have two wives" asks Cotton. "M-me Raid's wife" asks Winter in embarrassment. "Never. I'd never allow it" says Red. Alyn, Elora, Lily, and Crush walk up. "Why is it always you three" asks Alyn with a sigh. Cotton flies over and lands on Raid's head. "What's that thing" asks Alyn. "Im an exceed" says Cotton. "Its soooo cutttttte" says Lily. "Yep, and im master Raid's new best friend" says Cotton. Utter defeat fills Crush's face as he falls to the ground. "Darling. Im losing feeling. A kiss before I go is all I ask" says Red as she puckers her lips. Alyn walks up and shatters the ice. Raid tosses Red a blanket. "Sure you don't want to look longer darling" asks Red as she presses her breast together and winks. Alyn whacks her atop the head. "We need to get back to the guild hall" says Lily. "Uh, why" asks Raid. "We've just recruited 4 new members, and you all need to get your emblems" says Lily. "Whats an emblem" asks Raid. Red holds out her leg and shows her red Fairy Tail emblem. Winter pulls up her sleeve and shows her blue emblem on her uper arm. "Hey thats that mark Lily showed me" says Raid. "Yep. Everyone in Fairy Tail has one" says Lily. "And i have to get one" asks Raid. "Yep darling. You and the others get to become part of the family" says Red. "It also has a secret ability. Your magic gets a little stronger with an emblem. Thats why most mages join guilds" says Winter. "Plus we must report what has happened to Master Warren" says Elora. "Well, lets get going then" says Raid with a smile. "It looks like he's back to normal today" Winter says to herself with a smile. Red turns to go grab her clothes, and Raid sees a huge burn scar on her back. "Red! Do you need a healer? That looks pretty bad" says Raid in concern. Red turns to him and smiles. "It's alright darling. Im sorry I have such a hideous scar" says Red. "Thats not the issue here! What happened" asks Raid. "I've never seen you without your clothes on. Where is that scar from" asks Winter. Red looks over at Raid. "Ill tell you someday darling. I promise" she says as she walks away. After she gets dressed, the group takes their 2 day journey back to the guild hall.

Episode 6: Finally Fairies!

When they walk in, everyone but the guy with the red headband is there. "They actually did it" says Mushi. "Congratulations. You have more than done your part, however Lily and Winter are the determining factors" says Master Warren. "They get an A in my book" says Lily. "At first, I thought I'd never accept these two, but they more than proved themselves to me" says Winter. Master Warren nods. "And who are the cat and other fellow" asks Master Warren. "I am Alyn" says Alyn. "And I'm Cotton" says Cotton. "Are they trustworthy" asks Nako. "I've personally clashed blades with Alyn, and his weapon tells me he is" says Elora. "Very well" says Warren. Gerard comes out with a magical brander. "That looks like it's going to hurt" says Raid. Crush rolls his eyes. "Oh big talk for a little guy" says Raid. Crush walks up. "Where do you wish your brand to be placed" asks Gerard. Crush pulls up his shirt and turns around. Gerard places the brander on Crush's back. Its steams and Crush grits his teeth, but then when it gets pulled away, he has an orange emblem on his back. Crush shoots Raid a look and turns around. "It looks great pal" says Raid. Crush gives a thumbs up. Raid gets his above his right nipple, and it comes out black. Alyn's is brown and on his shoulder. Cotton's is white and on his paw. "Congrats. Your all part of Fairy Tail now" says Lily. (Raid's internal monologue) "We did it Loki. We joined Fairy Tail". "I hate to dispatch you all so soon after you just joined, but I would like you to investigate more. Elora gave me a report on what happened, and we need to know more. Unfortunately, everyone else is needed on a higher priority mission" says Master Warren. Raid nods. "Im ready to take this on" says Raid. (Internal monologue). "I need to find out whats going on with those black keys. It shouldn't be possible". "Do we have any leads" asks Alyn. "Not much. Just a symbol with a snake and a scythe" says Raid. Warren's eyes widen. "That is a problem" he says. "Why" asks Raid. "Thats a dark guild symbol. The Vipers Fang guild" says Warren. "Who are the Vipers Fang guild" asks Raid. "They are a dark guild that recently showed up out of the blue. They only have S class wizards. This mission is too much for you. Sit this one out" says Warren. "But-" starts Raid. "Sit this one out" Warren repeats. Raid looks really bugged by it. Later that night, Raid sneaks out of the guild hall, but is stopped by Alyn. "Where do you think you are going" asks Alyn. "Im going go take on the Vipers Fang guild" says Raid. "And you plan to do this alone" asks Alyn. "I can't involve the others. Its my problem-" starts Raid. "You are part of something bigger now. You need to trust in your allys" says Alyn. "You can't stop me" says Raid. "Stop you? We're going with you" says Alyn. "You can't! You'd-wait, did you just say we" asks Raid. He turns around to see Crush, Lily, Red, Winter, Cotton, and Elora. "Y-you guys" says Raid. "I'm with my darling through thick and thin. No matter the consequence" says Red. "You dumbass. You'd get yourself killed without me" says Winter. "We can't let a good friend fight alone" says Lily. "Im with you all the way master" says Cotton. "You are my savior as well as a friend. You needed only to ask" says Elora. Crush smiles. "We will follow your lead" says Alyn. Raid is left speechless for a moment. "Okay everyone. Let's set off" says Raid as he and the others head off into the night. Raid and the others finally reach the town where Raid met Cotton. "Alright, so tell me. Whats the game plan" says Alyn. "Uhhhh" says Raid. "You mean to tell me your plan was to just walk in, find the dark guild, and single handedly take on several S class wizards" asks Alyn. Raid nervously laughs. "Why do you want to take them down so bad. Is there some link between you and the guild" asks Elora. "Darling mearly does what he wants" says Red. "Does it have something to do with that key" asks Winter. Raid nods. Red looks back and forth between Winter and Raid. "You aren't hiding something from me, but sharing it with this home wrecking floozy are you darling" asks Red in aggravation. "What" asks Raid in confusion. "I don't mind if darling has his secrets, but if he tells her than that means that this floozy is trying to steal my darling from me" says Red as she looks angrily at Winter. "I-its not like that" says Winter. Alyn holds up his hand to silence the group. "Hey, did you here that those weird guys got Kitsui" asks a nearby guy to another guy. "Kitsui? That lady with the nice rack? Damn, thats a pair of jugs I'd hate to see go" says another guy. "This is serious. Every time those guys take someone they never come back" says the first guy. "Don't be ridiculous. That old timer came back didn't he" asks the second guy. "Yeah, but he says he was saved by some young wizards" says the first guy. "Hes senile. Im sure everyone is fine" says the second guy walking away. "The towns people are ignoring the danger. How unfortunate" says Alyn. "Maybe not. We have a lead now. The woman who was taken, if we get more information on her-" starts Elora. "Then we may be able to find her abductors" says Raid. "We shall split into 4 teams of two and-" starts Alyn. "I call darling" says Red. "No way master is taking me, im his new best friend" says Cotton. "I'll go with Raid so you two can stop arguing" says Winter. "ENOUGH! Raid will go with Crush, I will take Elora, Lily will take Cotton and-" starts Alyn. Winter and Red look at each other with intense eyes. "No way im going with this floozy" says Red. "I definitely don't want to partner with some girl who thinks she can take whatever man she wants without consulting him" says Winter. "Darling and I-" starts Red. "ENOUGH! YOU WILL WORK TOGETHER" says Alyn. Red and Winters eye widen. "Now, shake hands and make up" says Lily in a cheerful tone. Red and Winter turn away from each other. "Alright. Split up, and get searching" says Alyn.

Episode 7: Strawberry Cake

The groups go their separate ways. Alyn and Elora go to a bar. The bartender glances their way and scoffs. "You there! May I talk to you" asks Alyn. "Plenty of people in the bar. Go bug someone else" says the bartender. "Please, we simply wish for information about a missing woman by the name of Kitsui" says Alyn. The bartender spits Alyns way. "Go to hell" says the bartender. "Perhaps we can settle this over a drink-" starts Alyn. "I refuse. Get out of here. There's a bar in the next town over" says the bartender. "Please, be reasonable-" starts Alyn. "Allow me to try" says Elora as she walks up to the bartender. "What?! I already told you to-" starts the bartender. Elora grabs him by his shirt collar, pulls him over the bar, slams him on the ground, and slams a sword into the floor, near millimeters away from his privates. "Try again" says Elora in a scary tone. "Y-y-yeah sure. The lady your looking for has been missing for a few days now" says the guy. "Where is she" asks Elora. "I don't know" says the guy. Elora puts her foot on his privates. "Tell me something I want to hear" says Elora. "A-a-alright! Alright! These weird guys showed up from out of town and grabbed her. I was paid by a guy in a hood to keep my mouth shut and keep strangers away! Thays all I know I swear" says the bartender. Elora slams her foot down on his privates. "Thank you for your cooperation. Now, bring me strawberry cake" says Elora. "We...don't...serve…strawberry cake" he says weakly. Elora gives him a death glare. "Oh...of course. Right away" he says in fear. Alyn looks at Elora in terror. Meanwhile, Winter and Red walk and finally Winter stops. "What" asks Red. "What do you like about him" asks Red. "What" asks Red. "Raid. What is I specifically you like about him" asks Winter. "Darling is perfect in every way" says Red matter of factly. "That's a half assed answer if I've ever heard one! You don't love him! You can't even point out on specific thing you like-" starts Winter. Red slaps her hard across the face, leaving a handprint. "Don't ever! Question my love for darling! He's my everything! He's the reason I am alive today! Even before I met darling I knew he was the one! The only! You wanna know what I love about him? I love his smile! I love his courage! I love the way he makes me feel! I even love his naivity! There isn't a single thing about darling I'd ever change" says Red angrily. Winter grabs her face and smiles. "Alright, but...I think I love him too, so I'm not letting you have him easily. And not a word about this to anyone" says Winter. Red pushes her finger against Winters lips, and the two hear talking in the background. "I'm going to kill that guy if I ever see him again" says one of the guys. "Yeah, that grey haired weirdo, and that brown haired guy too. They'll pay for taking our catch" says the other. Red's hand sparks, and a flame appears in her hand. Winter grabs Red's arm. "Let go of me! They threatened my precious darling" says Red. "No! We can get some information out of them if we keep listening" says Winter. Red clenches her fist. "I'll kill him real, slow. Make him suffer" says the first guy. Red's fist turns to flame. "FLAME GODDE-" starts Red. Winter covers Red's mouth, and quickly hides her. "Anyways, I've got to go, I've got "work" to do" says the second guy. "Good luck with that special shipment" says the first guy as they go separate ways. "Look, I'm trusting you to keep your cool. Follow the one that went left. I'll tail the one that went to the right" says Winter. Red nods, and the two follow their respective people. Meanwhile, Raid and Crush are walking down the street. "Help! Someone help me" yells a girl running past. Raid and Crush look at each other and nod. They rush over, and a guy is holding his and around a girls mouth with one hand, and pulling her away with another. "Stop right there" says Raid. Tears roll down the girls face as she struggles. "Try anything and she dies" says the guy as he holds a knife up to her throat. Raid and Crush stop. "That's right! Now, you stay and be good little boys while I take her away" says the guy. All of a sudden, something falls ontop of the guy, knocking him out cold. Raid and Crush look over to see Lily on top of the guy. The girl runs over and grabs onto Crush. "Oh my God. Kitsui was right! I should have listened to her before she-" starts the girl. "Awe Raid! That really hurt! I'm glad I had something soft to break my fall (looks down) Oh God! I'm so sorry! Please be okay" says Lily. The girl turns to Lily and looks suprised. "That was a bad guy Lily, thats not the issue here. My question is, how did you fall out of the sky" asks Raid. "Oh, Cotton was flying with me, but he dropped me when a said I saw you" says Lily rubbing her head. Cotton lands on top of Raid's head. "Heya" says Cotton. The girl starts looking around in confusion. "It's a long story...oh by the way, you mentioned a Kitsui-" starts Raid. "Yes. She was my friend, but she started fighting back against these guys who have been kidnapping people around town. I didn't believe her, and now she's- starts the girl as she starts bawling. Raid give a comforting smile. "Don't worry, we'll find her and save her" says Raid. Crush looks the girl in the eyes and smiles. "Yeah, Crush is right. We've totally got this" says Raid. "Yeah, we're helping too, and so isn't Alyn, and Elora, and Red, and Winter" says Lily. "Wow. You guys are so nice" says the girl. "Nah, it's our pleasure as Fairy Tail wizards" says Lily with a smile. "You better get home and lock your doors" says Cotton. "Right, I wish you all luck" says the girl as she runs off. The guy comes too, and looks up to see Lily still sitting on him. "Get off me" he says angrily. "First we want information, like where exactly Kitsui is" says Raid. The guy remains silent. Raid and Crush look at each other. "...Uh...Tellus Truthus" says Raid as he holds his hand out. "Wh-whats that" asks the guy. "It's a truth telling spell" says Raid. "Really" asks Lily totally believing it. "Uh, yes. Now, you cannot lie to me, you must speak the truth to me…or...bad things will happen" says Raid. "Wh-What kinda bad things" asks the guy, now a little afraid. "Uh…a monster will get you" says Raid. "That's a lie! There are no monsters around here" says the guy. Then a guy goes flying through a nearby wall, and Elora walks out looking scary. "Ah! I didn't lie I swear! Don't let her eat me" says the guy flailing around. Raid shrugs his shoulders. "I might keep her from eating you, if you tell me where to find Kitsui" says Raid. "Alright! Tonight, there's going to be a handoff. We were supposed to hand them the ones we captured for a crap ton of cash" says the guy. "Any chance we can get her before the trade" asks Raid. "I-I guess, but I don't know where they are being kept, I swear" says the guy. Raid sighs. "Well that's a bummer. Where is this handoff supposed to happen" asks Raid. "Outside of town, by two rocks, they'll have a picture of a snake wrapped around a scythe marked on them" says the guy. "Well, your answers were unsatisfactory. You will now be eaten" says Raid. Crush smirks. "No! Please! I don't want to die" says the guy in fear. "Then promise me, by the will of the truth spell that you'll change your ways and help people instead" says Raid. "I swear" says the guy. "Then, be gone with you" says Raid, trying to contain laughter. Lily let's the guy go, and he tosses off his cloak. "I'm off to get a respectable job! I swear it" says the guy as he rushes off. Raid burst out laughing and Crush smiles widely. "I can't believe he fell for that" says Raid. "I can't believe you have a truth spell! Your amazing Raid" says Lily. "I don't-" starts Raid. "But don't worry, I swear I'll always tell you the truth Raid. We're friends" says Lily. "But I don't have-" starts Raid. "It's alright master. We'll keep your secret" says Cotton. "Just listen, I-" starts Raid. Crush smirks and shoots Raid a look. "Don't you start too" says Raid. Now all thats left is to kind Kitsui" says Cotton. Raid smiles. "Yeah, lets go" says Raid happily.

Episode 8: Raid's regrets?!

Raid, Crush, Alyn, Cotton, Elora, and Lily hide in the bushes waiting. "I feel bad that we couldn't find Winter and Red. I hope they are okay" says Lily. "We didn't have time to give a thorough search. I'm sure they're fine" says Alyn. Then a group of guys walk out with some people. They all have their wrist tied behind their backs. "Which one is Kitsui" Lily whispers. Raid looks over and sees a woman with huge boobs. "I think i know" says Raid in a semi embarrassed tone. A man in a black cloak walks out. "Alright pay up" says one of the guys holding the prisoners. "Any of you fellas want to untie me? Under normal circumstances this would be so hot, but, its not as fun when you bring other girls to the party. I get jelious" says Kitsui bouncing her boobs. "You think I'm going to fall for that" asks the guy. Then a slime shoots up from the ground and cracks him right in the nads. "Well there's plan B" she says the other guys all draw weapons. The fairy tail wizards burst from the bushes and easily take them all out. "That was easier than-" starts Cotton. A bunch of guys in cloaks pop out. "Of course they'd lay a trap" says Raid. Then two of the cloaked figures attack their comrads. One with a flaming kick. The other with Ice shards. "Hold on thats-" starts Raid. "I have finally found you my darling" says one as they throw off the cloak to reveal Red. "Alright. Time to kick some ice" says Winter. Crush slaps his forehead. "Yeah. It was pretty bad" says Raid. The cloaked figures look around. They are now evenly matched. 9 to 9. Kitsui slimes 1 one the guys. Red delivers a firery kick to another. Winter ice shards a third. Lily shocks a fourth. Elora slashes a fifth. Cotton wind blades a sixth. Crush decks a seventh. Raid dark blasts an eighth. And Alyn slams the last with a mace. "Damn! None of these guys have black keys" says Raid. "Black keys? Ive seen several people with those" says Kitsui. "Really?! Where" asks Raid. "Well the mayor has one, and ever since he got it, people have been disappearing" says Kitsui. Raid clenches his fist. "Then i know what i must do" says Raid as he goes to walk away. "Hold it handsome! Think this through. The mayor has been working in the shadows if he is involved. You're going to need proof" says Kitsui. "Proof? The proof is all around us-" starts Raid. "And what ties do any of these guys have to the mayor? He probably hired them through someone else. And we weren't told what was happening. I've been working on this. You'll have to be patient" says Kitsui. "Do you know what those keys do to people" asks Raid defensively. Crush puts his hand on Raid's shoulder and shakes his head. Raid sighs. "I know. I know. Thanks. You always know what to say" says Raid. Red rushes up to Raid. "DARLING! I missed you so much! i never want to be apart again" says Red. "We were only separated a few hours" says Raid. "And what a painful few hours those were without my beloved darling" says Red. Alyn whacks her on the head. "So, what's our next move" asks Kitsui. "You go home" says a voice from the trees. The group turns to see Hiroshi walk out. "Uh...Hi Hiroshi. We became Fairy Tail members while you were gone" says Raid nervously. Hiroshi harshly narrows his gaze. "You snuck out of the guild against rules, you took huge risks in exposing yourselves, and on top of that, you only narrowly avoided a fight you couldn't handle. Had they sent an actual wizard, you would have been completely defeated" says Hiroshi harshly. "I'm not taking it back" says Raid. "Raid" asks Lily. "This is a mission i have to see through! No matter what the odds, or the orders! These people were and still are in danger, and i refuse to go back and wait for the stronger members of fairy tail to step up" says Raid. Hiroshi gives a small smile. "There may actually be a fairy tail spirit in there after all. Now Kitsui, come on" says Hiroshi. "Huh? You know Kitsui" asks Lily. "Yeah. She's a fairy tail transfer. She's joining our branch family" says Hiroshi. "Yep. Here's my emblem" she says pulling her breast out and showing the fairy tail emblem right above her nipple. Raid, and Crush both turn red. Red covers Raids eyes. "Stay away hussie! Hes mine" says Red. "Oh come on kid. Wouldn't you like some real melons" asks Kitsui posing. "Uh...I...Uh...Don't-" starts Raid. "I bet you wanna feel them don't you? I bet your girlfriend hasn't let you touch hers yet has she" asks Kitsui getting close to Raid. "She-Shes not my girlfriend" says Raid. "Oh, are you into older women then? I have experience, and way bigger breast" says Kitsui. Raid passes out, and Kitsui laughs. "Jeez that kid was so easy" says Kitsui. Alyn whacks her upside the head. "Put your breast back in your shirt" says Alyn. Kitsui puts her breast back in, and as she walks by, she licks Crush's ear. Then Hiroshi and her head off. Winter looks down at her breasts. "Well, its getting late. We'll work on strategy tomorrow" says Alyn. Crush carries Raid back to the inn with the others, and lays him down in a bed. After leaving, Raid wakes up. He hears a knock on the door. "Yeah? Come in" says Raid. "O-ok. Im coming in. Don't freak out K" asks Winter. "Um...okay" says Raid in a confused tone. Winter walks in, but the darkness in the room hides her appearance. "Yeah? What is it" asks Raid. Winter walks over and hops into bed with Raid. Raid quickly realizes shes naked. "W-w-w-winter? Hey! Your clothes" says Raid. "Shut up. I...Im already nervous okay" asks Winter. "B-b-but why" asks Raid. "Well...I think i like you and stuff okay? Now I know that im not perfect, but...would you ever consider...maybe...being my boyfriend and stuff" asks Winter. Just then the door flies open. "Alright hussie! You thought tying me to bed would keep me away, but i got out! Now get away from my darling" says Red as shes also naked. "H-hey! Put some clothes on girls" says Raid. "I'm yours darling! Body and Soul! Forever! If...You want to touch me, then you can. Anywhere you want" says Red as she rushes over to the bed and jumps in on Raid's other side. "Wait I-" starts Raid. "Get out of here! We were totes having a moment" says Winter. "Never! I belong to darling and he belongs to me! Theres no room for you here" says Red. "Can i just-" starts Red. "It was totally my moment and you blew it" says Winter. "Of course i did! Hes MY darling" says Red. The two girls look at Raid. "Alright! You have to tell us. Who do you like better" says Winter. Raid simply stands up and walks away. "Did...we make him upset" asks Red sadly. "I guess we shouldn't have pushed him this far. Hes new to this anyways" say Winter. Raid walks down the hallway, and stops. (Flashback) "Awe Raid. How sweet. You brought me an umbrella" says a girl with long brown hair and a cheerful smile. "You should have taken one. The forcast called for it" says Raid. The girl grabs Raid's arm. "Nope. Then i wouldn't have gotten to see you. I know you'll never let anything happen to me" she says playfully. Raid smiles. "As long as i can, ill work hard so i never see you cry" says Raid. (Flashback ends). Red and Winter walk up with sad looks. "I'm...sorry darling. Im a horrible wife" says Red. "Just forget everything i said K? Its no big deal" says Winter as a tear runs down her cheek. Raid pulls them both in and hugs them. "Your both important to me. I honestly wouldn't know what to do if you two weren't bickering all the time, but I could never go out with either of you, knowing it would hurt the other. Besides I-" starts Raid. "Then we'll share. Ill be the wife, you can be the mistress" says Red. "Wait hold on what" asks Raid. "Sure. He'll eventually devorce you because your too clingy and ill marry him" says Winter. "How dare you! I just-" starts Red. The two bicker in the background as Raid smiles. (Raid's inner monologue) "I guess i should have worded that better". Alyn walks up and whacks all 3 of them on the head. "Its 3 am and you're yelling outside my room. Go back to bed, alone ladies" says Alyn. "Yes sir" they both say at once. The two are off to bed. Raid stares up at his ceiling for a bit, when Alyn walks in. Raid glances his way, and goes back tk staring at the ceiling. "So what are your plans? Do you plan to stay in the human world forever" asks Alyn. "I don't have much choice. The mirror can only be used once, remember" asks Raid. "What then? You plan on continuing on, lying to everyone about who you are? WHAT you are? Those girls are completely smitten with you, and you toy with thier emotions. Your neither for it, nor against it. And Red, she doesn't even know yet. Tell me, what is it you plan to do" asks Alyn. "I-I dont know okay? My main focus right now is defeating the mayor and stopping these black keys" says Raid. Alyn stands there for a moment. "You may want to talk to the blackwing before you makes decisions" says Alyn as he walks out. Raid holds up his key. (Raid's inner monologuie) "Ill never be fully human. I wont age, or get sick like humans, but even so, ive met so many great people...and...im lying to them all". Raid rolls over in guilt. "I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings" says Raid.

Episode 9: Dating the Duo

The next morning, Raid wakes up, and sees Crush at his door. "I'm guessing you got the talk too" says Raid. Crush nods. "Well, what do we do? I mean, we can't just tell everyone, but we can't keep lying either" says Raid. Crush stares Raid in the eyes. "I...I know. Just give it some time okay. We'll handle it later. For now, we've got a mayor to take down" says Raid. Crush shoots Raid a look. "They what" asks Raid in suprisment as he rushes out the door and down the hall. Elora looks at Raid, and turns in disgust. Alyn shakes his head. And Cotton won't look Raid in the eyes. "Hey Raid! Congratulations! Your dating both Winter and Red at once. I know how happy that makes them" says Lily happily. "Only a scoundrel dates 2 woman at once" says Elora. "I thought you were better than that master Raid" says Cotton. "Two timer" says Alyn. Crush walks past Raid and shakes his head. "Hold on since when-" starts Raid. He has a flashback of last night. "Oh yeah. (Sighs). I seriously should have picked my words better" says Raid. "Don't worry Raid! Even if the rest of the world thinks you're a scumbag, I'm still your friend" says Lily happily. "I don't know if that was supposed to make me feel better or worse" says Raid as he drops down in shame. "Well let's investigate the town a little" says Alyn. "Yeah, lets-" starts Raid. "Not you lover boy. You have some issues to deal with" says Elora. "What do you mean" asks Raid. "Dating silly. You can't just go out with a girl, you have to take her on dates...or them I guess. The point is, you have to treat them to something nice" says Lily. "But-" starts Raid. "No buts. Do it" says Elora with a cold stare. "Yes ma'am" says Raid. The rest of the group walk out, leaving Raid alone. Soon after, Winter walks out with her hair done up nice, and a white dress with blue ribbons on it. "I...know it's not usually my style, but I thought you'd like it" says Winter. "You look...very pretty" says Raid as he turns red. Then Red walks out with her hair done to the side. She's wearing a Shorter purple dress. "Do you like it darling" asks Red. "Yeah. You both look great" says Raid nervously. They each pick him up, and take one of his arms. "Uh, I feel kind of under dressed here" says Raid. "Nonsense darling. You look fine" says Red. "Hey...can I call you a pet name too? She calls you darling, so it's only fair" says Winter. "Uh...I guess" says Raid. "Um...are you ready to go...honey" Winter asks turning beat red. Raid turns a little red too. "Hey darling. It looks like this was left for you" says Red handing Raid a letter and a bag. 'Dear Raid. We left you this small amount of money to spend on your dates. Make sure to give those girls a good time, signed Alyn'. "Ah, okay girls. Let's go...do this...dating thing" says Raid. "Oh yeah, you've never been on a date before have you" asks Winter. Raid shakes his head. "Well, how about we go to lunch first" says Winter. "Yes, I'm starved" says Red. The group walk outside, and as they walk, gossipers mumble about how bad Raid is for having 2 girlfriends. Raid looks upset about it, but says nothing. They finally get to a place to eat, and they sit down. They pick up menus and Raid looks a little nervous. "What's the matter darling" asks Red. Raid turns super red. "I-I...uh...I can't read" says Raid. "Oh yeah. I suppose you wouldn't. Here, let me read it to you" says Winter. "No way. I'm his real wife, I'll read it to him" says Red. The two bicker back and forth, when a man with grey hair, but appears to only be in his 30s, walks up. "Young man, I understand that you can't read" says the guy. Raid nods his head in embarrassment. The man gently smiles. "Relax. It's not a big deal. WAITER, PLEASE GET THIS MAN A PICTURE MENU. Now, these girls seem happy with you, maybe they can teach you how to read. It's Important you know" says the man. Raid smiles. "Thank you" says Raid. "It's no problem. (Looks over at the girls). You have to take good care of these girls you hear. It's a big responsibility to take care of 2, but if you truly care for them, it wouldn't matter if there were 100" says the man as he walks away. "Well I think that's probably the nicest person I ever met" says Raid. A waiter brings Raid a picture menu. After lunch the three are walk around town arm in arm again. "So, what now" asks Raid. "Well, what do you want to do" asks Winter. Just then, a kid stumbles into Raid and passes out. He looks down to see the kid is battered and bruised, and incredibly skinny. Raid looks at the girls with pleading eyes, and they nod. Raid takes the kid to the doctor he met before. The doctor opens the door and yawns again. "Oh, it's you again. Look, if you found another cat, take it-" starts the guy. Raid hold the kid up. The doctor looks at the kid for a minute. "She's beat up pretty bad this time" says the doctor. "Yeah he i-hold on, did you say she" asks Raid. The doctor pulls the kids hat off, and long white hair flows from the hat. "She's been here before, several times. This is the worse I've seen her though. I honestly don't know if I can help her" says the doctor. "Who is she" asks Winter. "Some street rat. Her parents kicked her out of her home when she was born" says the doctor. "Why" asks Red. "Because of what she is. She's an artificial Dragon Slayer. A Slayer who doesn't have a dragon parent. They're rare, but they do exist" says the doctor. "Why would someone throw you out for that" asks Winter. "Because, Slayer's are worth a lot of money" says the doctor. "Wait you don't mean" starts Winter. "Yeah. They sold her, to some ruffian gang around here" says the doctor. Red clenches her fist. "Can...you help her" asks Raid. "I don't know" says the doctor. "Try" says Raid. The doctor holds his hand out and starts healing. The bruises and scratches heal a little. "That's all I can do. I'm sorry. I really feel bad for her" says the doctor. "Thank you" says Raid. "Well, next time you find a stray, you know where to find me" says the doctor in a half joking tone as he closes the door. They carry her back to the inn, and lay her down in Raids bed. "What do we do" asks Winter. "I don't even know what's wrong with her" says Raid. "She...doesn't have the willpower to go on" says Red sadly. "How do you-" starts Winter. "It doesn't matter. We need to give her a reason" says Red. "Hold on, she ran into Raid when she passed out. That means she was running from something" says Winter. "Right, we'll check it out. Darling, you stay here with her" says Red as they rush out. Meanwhile, Alyn sits in a bar listening out for good tips about the mayor. "You know, the mayor hasn't been around his place a lot lately. Wonder if he's found a new "hobby" says a drunk man. "I've been meaning to talk to him, but hes never in anymore" says another. "That's the people in power for you. They are only there to make life hard for you, and disappear when you need them" says a third drunk. Meanwhile, Raid sits looking at the little girl for a minute. "You know, believe it or not, I was just like you at one point. I felt like nobody loved me, and nobody ever would. I'm from a very dark place, where bad things happen. Then one day, I met a kind person, and she became my reason to live. Then one day, something very bad happened, and I lost the will to live. For a while there, I never thought I'd find another reason, but strangely enough when I found out people were in danger, protecting them became my new reason, then I made a bunch of friends. You shouldn't give up hope in finding your reason, and even if you do, you don't nessisaraly need one. Just live. Dying sucks, for you, and everyone around you" says Raid. The girl doesn't react. "Yeah, I guess that was pretty cheesy. I'll let you rest now. You deserve a good rest on a comfy bed" says Raid as he lays on the ground and stares up at the ceiling. Red and Winter looks around a bit in the area where they found the girl. A guy with shaggy hair and a few missing teeth walks up. "Scuse me ladies, 'ave you seen a small child go by recently? She's got long white'air and-" starts the guy. Winter throws him up against a nearby wall, and Red makes a flame in her hand. "Ok ok! I'll look somewheres else. No need to get violent" says the guy. "Where is your leader" asks Winter. "I-I can't just tell you'at. 'Ed have me head nailed to a wall'e would" says the guy. "Don't worry a pile of ashes doesn't have a head" says Red. "I-I can't. Look-" starts the guy. Red puts the flame up to his face. "I-I don't know! Honestly. I-Im just a new recruit, I only meet'em once. E don't come round much I'ere. Ats all I know" says the guy. "I don't believe you" says Winter. "You're coming with us" says Red. They start dragging the guy back to the inn. Later that night, the group come back looking extremely confused. They see the guy with his hands iced behind his back laying on the ground. "Oh'ello. Nice to meet you folks" says the guy turning his head. "Start talking" says Winter. "I told you what I can, honest. I-I don't'ave much loyalty when it comes to pain, so I would'a told ya, I swear" says the guy. "What's this about" asks Alyn. Winter and Red explain the situation. "Allow me to handle this" says Elora. She rolls the guy over and holds her sword at his privates. "Talk" she says coldly. "Bout what? The weather's nice ain't it" asks the guy. Elora pushes the sword against the guys privates. "Alright! Alright! I'll talk! I don't know who the leader is, be works wif the mayor! It's all I know! Now I'm gonna die. He's gonna send people after me he is. Im's good as dead" says the guy. "Well protect you...random guy" says Alyn. "Oh, pardon me. Name's Loyd it is. Pleasure to meet you folks" says the guy. "Your...weird for a gang member" says Cotton. "I'm new to it, I did it cause they payed good they did. I got to buy food" says Loyd. "You can't buy food" asks Lily. "I ain't got no job. I went to the mayor for help I did, but his guards turned me'way, so I just ate trash scraps for bit" says Loyd. "I could almost feel sorry for you, if you didn't lie to us" says Winter. "I'm sorry, really I am, but I don't want t'die just yet" says the guy. "You better hope the little girl is okay, or you still might" says Red. "What's wrong wif'er" asks the guy. "She was covered in cuts and bruises from head to toe" says Winter. "Well'er caretaker was some guy, real mean that one. I said hi to'em once, and spit in my face'e did. I think I seen'em round the mayor's place couple times" says Loyd. "Can you take us to him" asks Alyn. "No, but if yous got the little girl'e'll come to you" says Loyd. "What can you tell us about him" asks Elora. "Well'es bald for one. E don't wear much for clothes. Just pants and some chains round'is chest. Oh, and'e got this really creepy looking key'e did. Tried to touch it once but-" starts Loyd. "Was it black" Winter asks in fear. "Yeah. Think'e got it from-" starts Loyd. "The mayor" says Winter. "Wow, yous really good at guessing" says Loyd. Everyone's eyes widen. Meanwhile, a man matching Loyd's description walks down the road looking around.

Episode 10: Yu

The next day, Raid wakes up on the floor, and he and the little girl are face to face. "Good morning" she says with a blank face. "Uh…good morning" says Raid as he's wide eyed. "Yep, I knew it" says the girl with the same facial expression. "Knew what" asks Raid. "Your voice. I heard it in my sleep" she says. "When did-" starts Raid. He has a quick flashback of him talking to the girl. "Oh, right. Are you feeling better now" asks Raid. The girl simply stares him in the eyes with her blank expression. "Uh...whats your name" asks Raid. "You" says the girl. "Yu? I suppose thats a good name" says Raid. "Not like that. It's usually, hey you, do this. Hey you do that" says the girl. "Then-" starts Raid. "The way you say it...it's nice. Yu, I'll be called you" says the girl. "Um, alright. Can I ask you a question You" asks Raid. "What is it" asks Yu. "Could you get off me" asks Raid. The girl simply stares at him for a moment. "What's your name" asks the girl. "It's Raid" says Raid. "Are you a spirit" asks Yu. Raids eyes open wide, but he says nothing. "Your aura, it smells like a spirit, but your body smells like a human" says Yu. "...To tell the truth, I don't really know what I am" says Raid. "Thats understandable. I don't really know if I'm a dragon or a human" says Yu. Yu gets off of Raid, and waits for him to sit up, then sits down on his lap. "Wh-What are you-" starts Raid. "You're comfortable" Yu interuptes. The 2 say nothing for a moment, then Yu tilts her head towards Raid. "Thank you. I wouldn't have survived without you" says Yu. "No problem" says Raid not fully understanding. Yu sniffs the air. "I smell multiple other people here. Where are we" asks Yu. "We're at an inn. It's a place where people pay to sleep. My friends should be up, would you like to meet them" asks Raid. "No" says Yu. "Why not" asks Raid. "You're special. You're nice, but other people aren't. Until I heard your voice, I didn't think anyone was nice. I just want it to stay us 2" says Yu. "Yu, it's true a lot of people are bad. In fact, the number of bad ones grow everyday, but do you think I'd introduce you to anyone I thought would hurt you" asks Raid with a comforting smile. "I don't want too. I only need-" starts Yu. Raid spins her around and looks her in the eyes. "Trust me Yu" says Raid. Yu nods, and a few minutes later, Raid walks out of his room with Yu on his shoulders. He walks into the dinning room where he sees everyone eating breakfast, including Loyd. "About time you woke up. Honestly, learn a since of time" says Elora as she takes a bit of her toast. Raid nervously rubs his head. Crush shoots Raid a look. "Yeah, this is Yu. She finally woke up" says Raid. Crush smiles. "He says hello" says Raid. Yu ducks behind Raid's head a little. "Oh darling! She looks so much like you" says Red. "Does she" asks Raid. "Yeah. You could totally pass for her dad" says Raid. "Aye is that'er? Hey, I'm Loyd. Nice t'meet ya" says Loyd. "He smells bad" says Yu. "I don't actually know him" says Raid. Yu focuses on everyone, until she sees Alyn. "What's the matter child" asks Alyn. "He's scary" says Yu. "Yeah, I guess he kinda is" says Raid. Crush nods. "Yep yep. Hes the probably the 1 of the scariest people I know, but in a good way" says Lily. "If darling says so, then I agree" says Red. "Yeah, I know what you mean. He kinda gives me the creeps" says Winter. Alyn looks insulted. "E might be scary, but Eloras-" starts Loyd. Elora requips a swords by Loyd's throat. "Care to finish that sentence" asks Elora in a scary tone. "No ma'am" says Loyd turning back to his eggs. "Can we go now? These people scare me" says Yu. "Actually, we need to decide what to do with her" says Elora. "What do you mean" asks Raid. "Well, we can't keep her. She's not some lost puppy" says Elora. "But we can't just turn her out into the streets! What about the mean guys" asks Lily. "That's also true" says Alyn. Yu clenches on tight to Raid. "I'm not leaving. I'm staying with Raid" says Yu. "Look, I know you've grown attached but-" starts Elora. "We're about to go into a dangerous fight. We can't get you involved" says Alyn. "I know we can't, but...we can't just leave her" says Raid defensively. Crush looks Raid in the eyes. "I am not being unreasonable! This is a little girl we're talking about" says Raid. Crush shakes his head. "Not our responsibility? It became our responsibility when we saved her life!, When I saved her life" says Raid. "Hold on, it's not like she has a place to go back to. How about we take care of her until we find a safe place" says Winter. "I...Suppose that sounds reasonable" says Elora. "I don't like these people" says Yu. "They're not all bad. It's just a difficult time right now" says Raid. "Well, we'll split into 2 teams. Me, Lily, Elora, Cotton, and Crush will go out and investigate. Raid, Winter, and Red, look out for Yu, and keep an eye on Loyd" says Alyn. The main group walks out. "Raid, I'm hungry" says Yu. "Oh, well I'll make you something" says Raid as he sets her down on the ground and heads for the kitchen. "Hey, Raid" says Yu. Raid turns to her. "Do...you have any kids" asks Yu. "No I don't" says Raid. "Then...would you (mumbles)" asks Yu. "What was that" asks Raid. "Well, you're really nice, so would you mind...taking care of me" Yu asks shyly. "Sure thing" says Raid ignorantly. Yu's face lights up as Raid walks into the kitchen. (Red's inner monologue) "She does look like my darling. Maybe I could be her mother! Then darling will see I'm clearly more suited than that home wrecking ice girl". (Winter's inner monologue) "Maybe if me and Raid take care of the girl together, he might finally see just me". Both of the girls blush. "Hey, this ain't very safe" says Loyd. "What? I'm sure Raid's cooking can't be that bad" says Winter. "No, what if'ose scary guys send people after us? There's only 3 of ya" says Loyd. "Don't worry. We've got you. Not much can take us" says Winter. "If ya say so, but thems some scary people" says Loyd. Yu sniffs the air. "You smell cold, and lonely (points to Winter). And you smell like fire, and sad" says Yu. The girls look at each other stunned. Raid pokes his head out. "Hey I totally forgot to ask you what you wanted. Any favorites" asks Raid. "All I've ever had is bread and water" says Yu. "That's terrible" says Loyd. "I'm not well versed in food. I'll make some eggs" says Raid as he goes back into the kitchen. Yu tugs on Red's sleeve. "Why are you sad" asks Yu. "Im alright, really" says Red. "You're lying. Are you sad because of Raid" asks Yu. "No, darling makes me very happy" says Red. "Then why-" asks Yu. "Come on Yu. I'll buy you something sweet while your waiting on Raid" says Winter. Winter picks up Yu and goes to carry her outside. A man matching Loyd's description walks in. "There'e is" says Loyd ducking under the table. "I'm taking the little girl, the scrawny rat, and just for fun, the hot red head" says the guy. "Not going to happen" says Winter. A single swing of the guys axe sends everyone flying. "Alright men, bring them all. Well all take turns with the red head, but the other one. She's all mine" says the guy. A bunch of guys in cloaks rush in. Then the guy gets an egg to the face. "Who through that" asks the guy angrily. "Me" says Raid as he appears behind the guy. The guy swings around and sends Raid flying through the wall. "I'm going to kill that pest. You guys take care of these guys" says the guy. Meanwhile, Crush is walking and gets slashed in the back. A man with long hair in a ponytail and long claws hanging from his fingers stands there. Elora walks and gets surrounded by black leaves which slash at her everywhere. A woman with long black hair and large breasts stands there drinking sakè. Alyn walks and gets slammed down to the ground by a huge monster with huge muscles and iron armor. Lily and Cotton walk and get slammed to a nearby wall by a man with a top hat and a monocal. "You've got nowhere to run. We've got the S class wizards out around town. Your finished" says the bald guy as he swings at Raid. He misses, but the mere impact from the blow sends Raid crashing into the wall. "I am Anack, and you are going to die" says the guy swinging again. Raid tries to dodge, but again the impact of the swing sends him flying back. "Damn human body. This seriously hurts" says Raid. Crush turns to see the man who slashes him. "Hey cutie, I'm Kilim, and I'm taking you home with me. You'll make Mr Mayor a very happy man" says the guy. He charges at Crush with lightning speed. Elora stands cut up pretty bad. "Tell you what, I really don't wanna fight, and I've got a hangover. You mind pretending like we never met" asks the lady. "Blastphomy! Face me with honor" yells Elora as she draws her sword. "Ahh. Stop with the yelling already. My name's Riya, I'm going to make this quick okay, my buzz is wearing off" she says. "Me, Monark. Me, break you" says the muscular monster as it punches Alyn in the gut, shattering his armor. The man in the monocal bows. "Pardon the informal greeting. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Heller Van Strumeg, at your service. I'm afraid your going to need to surrender, or this could get nasty for you" says the guy. Raid struggles up on his feet. (Raid's inner monologue) "Hes too fast to attack from behind, and he'd see a frontal assault coming from a mile away. I'm clearly outmatched here, but I have to save Yu and the others".

Episode 11: Fall of the Fairies

Meanwhile, Loyd uses his magic to turn his fingers into guns and starts shooting at Anacks underlings. "Wall" says a girl with long green hair. A magical barrier appears and shields the underlings from the bullets. "Pierce" yells a girl with short blue hair. A blast of blue energy shoots from her arm and knocks Loyd into the wall. "Who are you people" asks Winter. "I'm Shield" says the girl with long green hair. "And I am Spear. We are artificial life forms created for the soul purpose of serving our master" says the girl with short blue hair. "Is that what kinda life you want? It sounds pretty pathetic to me" says Winter. "It is not our place to question master. The only question we ever ask of him, is what he desires from us" says Shield. "Then your brainless" says Winter as she throws ice shards at Shield. "Wall" says Shield, as a wall protects her. "It is not as though we don't have emotions or thoughts-" says Spear. "It's just we simply must do our masters bidding. He gave us life, and we must obey. It's called loyalty" says Shield. "So you're okay with putting a child through hellish torcher just because you're told too" asks Red as her whole body starts flaming. "Of what is this girl speaking" asks Spear. "She's only trying to poison our minds Spear! We must fulfill our duty" says Shield. "Your torchering a child! Yu hasn't done anything except be born" says Winter. Spear looks at Yu, who's still covered in cuts and bruises. "Don't let them trick you spear! Our master would never do that! They're the monsters who did that to her" says Shield. "Affirmative. I will rescue the little girl" says Spear as she changes forward. "Pierce" she yells as she releases another blast of blue energy. Winter dodges it, and puts Yu down. "Run away Yu. We'll handle these guys. Loyd, get up and go with her" says Winter. Loyd stands up and salutes. "Yes ma'am" says Loyd as he rushes over and he Yu's hand. "Come on girly, wes gots t'go" says Loyd. "Raid! Wheres Raid" asks Yu as she looks around frantically. "He ain't gonna lose, these folks can handle'em" says Loyd. "Who's this Raid" asks Shield. "He's a sweet, and nice, and caring man" says Yu. "New mission aquired. Aquire the being known as Raid" says Spear. "You leave your hands of my darling" says Red as she throws a flaming punch. "Wall" says Shield. "Pierce" says Spear. Red's punch is stopped by the barrier, then she gets blasted back by the blast. Loyd grabs Yu and picks her up. "Time t'go" says Loyd as he starts running away. "No! Let me go! I have to protect Raid" says Yu. "Y'can't do nothin for'em now. Elle be alright, long's he holds out till the others get back" says Loyd. Loyd and Yu gets outside where 3 people stand. One guy has wild orange hair, one guy has an all black body with sharp white hair and red eyes, and the last is a girl with pale skin and blood red lipstick. "See you slave girl. There is no denying who you are. Come back with us, or these "friends" of yours will die" says the one with the black body. "I wouldn't mind seeing them die myself. Especially that white haired boy" says the woman. Yu's eyes widen. "Raid? You can't hurt Raid" says Yu. "Hurt? No, his death will be painless" says the guy with black skin. "Understand, the mayor only wants to save the world. Think, you could be a hero" says the guy with orange hair. "Ain't no way I'm lettin y'take this here little girl! Them girls done put'er in m'care they did" says Loyd stepping in from of Yu. "Then die" says the black skinned guy as he holds out his hand. A black shot flies from it and rips right through Loyd's arm. "Ahhh! Y'gotta run" says Loyd. Yu looks at Loyd with concern. "I ain't ever been a hero before, but I know I can't let them take ya. I feel it m'heart I do" says Loyd. "Appa, why do we need this little girl anyways? She's just a kid" says the orange haired guy. "She is a powerful dragon Slayer. There are 3 celestial spirits around here as well. Bring me them, and their keys" says the black skinned guy. "Icuris, you really are too dense. What the master says goes. If he wants the child, we deliver the child. If he wants spirits, we deliver spirits. If he wants a bloodbath (smiles) we deliver a bloodbath" says the girl with red lips. "Killing anyone won't help, it's so pointless. Look, I'll fight this guy, you guys take the little girl back to the mayor" says Icuris as he jumps down. "NO! Plasma Dragon ROAR" yells Yu. A beam of plasma shoots from her mouth, but Icuris simply steps out of the way. "Whoa, impressive. Why don't you go with these people, I promise not to rough up your friend to bad" says Icuris. "Echo, you know what to do" says Appa. "Right my master" says the girl with red lips. She grabs her head, and Yu falls unconcious. "What'd ya do to'er" asks Loyd. "She's just sleeping, echo can get into the minds of people. The disadvantage is she can't move while doing so" says Icuris. Appa walks up to Yu. "NO" yells Loyd. "Demonic flame" says Icuris. A black and Orange flame shoots out and throws Loyd to the ground with a mighty blast. "Don't get back up. It may seem bad now, but we're saving the world" says Icuris. Appa grabs Yu and walks away with her. Loyd struggles to get up, but goes right back down. "Why does saving the world have to suck so much" asks Icuris. Echo let's go of her head and collapses. "Echo! Don't push yourself to far" says Icuris. "Master ordered me to keep going. I'm setting up a psychic link with the others. Protect me until we aquire the spirits" says Echo. Icuris nods as Echo grabs her head again. Meanwhile, Raid is looking pretty beat. "I...won't...let you...take her" says Raid with his eye swelled shut and blood dripping from his forehead. Anack stops for a minute and scoffs. "Your lucky wimp. You get to sell out some spirits to save your own- (Anack looks Raid in the eyes and laughs) it must be my lucky day. You're coming with me" says Anack. Raid tightly grips his dark blasters and hold them up. "You'll have to kill me first" says Raid. Anack falls to the ground and grabs his head. "Damn! What was that" asks Anack. Shows Alyn standing over the monster. "Strength is wasted on you" says Alyn. "Retreat! We'll get the spirits later" says Icuris over the psychic link. Anack grunts. "Fine. Someone grab Monark and we're gone" says Anack over the link. All the bad guys retreat, and Raid passes out where he stands. When he wakes up, he looks over to see Loyd in worse shape than he is unconcious. Then he looks the other way to see Red and Winter with sorrowful looks in their eyes. "Where...where's Yu" asks Raid. Neither of the girls say anything. Raid tries to stand up, but can't. Alyn walks in. "Your a fool if you think you're going anywhere in that shape" says Alyn. "Gotta...find Yu" says Raid. "And what? You can't even stand, let alone fight. Perhaps we should wait on the S class wizards after all" says Alyn. Raid looks down. "It might not come to that. We've got some S classes if our own" says Winter. "What's your point" asks Alyn. "They'll be tough, but if we do what they did, we can win" says Winter. "What is it they did" asks Alyn. "They engaged the person with the one who they could easily overpower. Crush could have done better, if his opponent wasn't someone that fast" says Winter. "What do we know about our opponents" asks Alyn. "Anack, the one Raid faced, he was Yu's original caretaker. He never used magic, just extremely hard blows from his axe, so we don't know what he can actually do. The girls me and Red faced were called Spear and Shield. The appear to be artificial humans, and they think we're the ones who hurt Yu. Spear is the attacker of the two, she flings some sort of blue energy shot. Shield creates a barrier around whoever she wants. The woman Elora faced off against, I believe she said her name was Riya, she uses black leaves to slice at her opponents, however according to Elora, she has a drinking problem-" starts Winter. "Sounds like my kind of woman" says Alyn. "The man Crush faced off against called himself Kilim, he I extremely agile, and we believe his magic allows him to turn his fingers into the blades he used against Crush. Lily faced off against a man named Heller, according to Lily his magic allows him to redirect things, including attacks. Finally the monster Alyn defeated was called Monark. Other than being physically strong, it isn't all that hard to defeat" says Red. "It's the ones that Loyd mentioned before he passed out that scare me" says Alyn. Winter and Red nod. "Icuris, he apparently used a flame engulfed in darkness" says Winter. "Echo appears to have powerful psychic abilities, though they come at a cost" says Red. "And Appa, used some dark energy attack" says Alyn. A crash is heard from a room over. "That must have been Crush trying to get out of bed again. Red, would you mind" asks Alyn. Red runs out of the room. "Another thing concerns me. Appa knew that we were here. That means he's a celestial wizard, a dragon Slayer or- starts Alyn. "A black key himself" says Raid. Alyn nods. "So, what's the game plan" asks Winter. Raid stays silent for a moment. "We...wait for Fairy Tail. We're too weak to take them, I couldn't-" starts Raid with a balled up fist. "You know, Hiroshi told me something before he left" says Alyn. (Alyns flashback) "You know, this fight isn't going to be easy, that guys got spirit, but it can easily break, but when he feels like hes to weak to go on, when he feels like all of his strength is gone. Tell him…" says Hiroshi (flashback ends) "That if you don't have any strength left today, borrow some from tomorrow. It's a saying that was made by one of Fairy Tails most powerful mages" says Alyn. "Borrow it...from tomorrow" asks Raid. "It means, fight passed your limits. Even when your about done, fight with all you have, and keep going" says Winter. Raid looks down. "We'll let you think about it" says Winter as she and Alyn leave the room.

Episode 12: Firery Passion

After a few days, Raid is finally ready to get out of bed. He sneaks out without anyone noticing and walks around town, when suddenly he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns to see the guy from the restaurant. "Ah, yes I thought it was you. You're the young man who couldn't read. I trust you have been keeping up your studies" asks the guy. As soon as he sees Raid's face, he looks stunned. "Apparently you've been fighting a lot" says the guy. Raid looks disappointed. "If you want to talk, I'm all ears. I'll even buy lunch" says the guy. Raid nods, and the two have lunch. "So, a little girl that trusted you was taken, and you blame yourself. Is that correct" asks the guy. Raid nods. "I can't even get her back. I'm not strong enough" says Raid clenching his fist. "Then you need to get stronger. Strong enough to fight for what you love and want to protect" says the guy. "But how? I don't have time" says Raid. "The strength I mean is strength of will, not of arms. Even the strongest man can be taken down by a strong desire. Find what it is you fight for young man. Look behind the obvious. What makes you want to fight? To save this little girl? These are the questions that will lead you to true strength" says the man. Raid looks up and gives a small smile. "Thanks Mr" says Raid. The guy looks down at his watch. "Ah, look at the time. I must go. If-no, when you save this little girl, I'd like to meet her if you wouldn't mind" says the man as he gets up, puts down money for the food, and walks away. Raid waves him goodbye and then looks down. (Raids internal monologue) "What...what is it I fight for? Why am I even here". Has a quick flashback of the woman in his flashbacks before, then one of everyone hes met in fairy tail. Raid tightens his fist. "I may have come here to save the world, but I fight for the ones I care about now. That includes Yu! I'm coming to save you" says Raid as he stands up and rushes back to the inn. He walks in to see everyone sitting there. "I've made my decision. We're getting Yu back, and we're doing it ourselves. I fight for you guys, and that includes Yu. There's no way I'll lose" says Raid. "This'll be dangerous. Anyone who doesn't want to fight should say so now. There's a good chance you could end up like Loyd, or worse" says Alyn. "I'll fight, to save this little girl, and for darling" says Red. "Count me in, they won't stand a chance next time" says Winter. "For my friends, I'm going to fight" says Lily. "I never back down in the face of adversity" says Elora. Crush nods and cracks his knuckles. Everyone looks at Cotton, who looks a little scared. "It's okay buddy. You can stay here and watch over Loyd" says Raid. Cotton nods. "So, where do we attack" asks Winter. Everyone looks around to see if anyone has an answer. "This is not good. We still don't know where to launch an attack" says Winter. "We've searched the entire town, met every person. No clues to where they are hiding, what their ties are to the dark guild, or what it has to do with the mayor" says Alyn. Crush snaps his fingers and looks Raid in the eyes. "You can't be serious" says Raid with wide eyes. Crush narrows his gaze. "Attacking the mayor's estate is definitely illegal. We could get arrested if we're wrong" says Raid. Crush slams his hand on the table. "...You're right. We have to do this, for Yu" says Raid. Everyone nods in agreement. "We shall take the day to prepare, tomorrow we attack" says Elora. "Hold on, why the wait?! We can go right now" says Raid. Elora walks up, and lightly touches Raid's wound, which makes him wince in pain. "It would be preferable to wait longer, but we cannot afford to wait to long. Besides our injuries, we need supplies, battles items, and a strategy. Attacking now would be like throwing rocks at a wall. It will accomplish nothing, furthermore we risk exposing ourselves even more, the enemy already has the advantage. I'd rather not further it" says Elora. Raid disappointedly nods. "You should makes sure you absolutely want to do this. It could prove to be a fatal encounter. There is no shame in fleeing" says Alyn. Everyone looks at each other. "You already know my answer" says Raid. Crush nods. "I'm with darling" says Red. "It's only fatal if we lose, and I don't plan to lose" says Winter. "I can't abandon my friends! That's not the fairy tail way" says Lily. Alyn and Elora look at each other and nod. "Me and Elora will strategize a battle plan. The rest of you get what you need. Raid, for you that means rest. Your of no use if your body breaks down during the battle" says Alyn. Raid nods and heads to his room. He lays in his bed and stares at the ceiling. "I can't lose someone else I care about. Not again. Not ever again" Raid says to himself. He drifts off to sleep. A little while later, Cotton sheepishly walks into Raid's room. Raid wakes up. "Hey, what's up" asks Raid. "...Im sorry I can't come to the battle with you, I'm just too weak to fight S class enemies" says Cotton. "Don't feel bad. I feel bad enough that the others want to come. It's my fight, but everyone is willing to throw their lives away for me. I still don't get it" says Raid. "That's called family. Family isn't the blood your born with. It's the people you surround yourself with. Families care about one another, they help when they're in need, and they'll even put their lives on the line for you" says Cotton. "I guess I wouldn't know about family" says Raid looking down. "You'll understand eventually. Trust me" says Cotton as he walks out of the room. A few minutes later, Lily walks in. "Hiya Raid" says Lily. "Hey Lily" says Raid. "You know, I don't know why, but I've been thinking about the first day we met" says Lily. Raid remembers he was nude then and turns red. "I knew from the moment I saw you, you had a lot of heart. I don't know what it was about you, but you made me feel confident, like Fairy Tail was going to be alright. And because of you, we met Alyn and Cotton, and we got Crush too. So maybe my family won't fall apart" says Lily with a smile. "Thats nice, but a bit random" says Raid. "It's just something I wanted to get off my chest before tomorrow. I wanted to thank you" says Lily as she walks out. Raid looks at his hand. (Raids internal monologue) "Did I really do all that? I didn't realize I had such an impact". Elora walks in Raid's room. "I wish to speak with you, if I may" says Elora. "Go right ahead" says Raid. "I must be honest, when I first decided to come with you, it was mearly obligation, but seeing your spirit, and your compassion in action, it makes me realize I made the right choice" says Elora. "Spirit and compassion" asks Raid. "You fight every battle with a determination, a purpose, it's a good quality to have. As for compassion, you helped out Cotton when you had no obligation too, the same goes for Yu. You also make Red and Winter happy. As cheap and low as dating two girls is, I don't think I've seen either one of them happier than they are when they're with you" says Elora as she walks out of the room. (Raid's inner monologue) "Huh, I did all that stuff and never realized. I just always acted on impulse. It's not like I was looking to do good things" Raid hears a knock at the door. "Come in" says Raid. Winter walks in the room. "Mind if I have a seat" asks Winter. "Go ahead" says Raid. Winter sits down on Raids bed next to him. "Look, I know you've been feeling really down lately, but that's doesn't seem like the Raid I know" says Winter. "The Raid you know" asks Raid. "The goofy Raid who had trouble walking, who decided to get the know the cold ice princess, who trusted her with his secrets, who wasn't a morning person, and saved the day when friends were in danger. I hate seeing you down like this" says Winter. "Yeah, i guess I haven't been acting much like myself huh" says Raid. Before he can react, Winter gives him a quick Peck on the lips. "As your girlfriend, I'm here when you need to talk K. I really care about you and stuff, and I'd like to see you smiling a lot more again. Until then, I'm here to fight off the sadness" says Winter as she gets up and walks out. Raid grabs his lips. "I...I've been really selfish here lately. My hunt for the black keys has blinded me to those around me. Those I care about" Raid says to himself. Alyn walks in. "Have you given what I said to you much thought" asks Alyn. "Yes, and Yu actually helped me understand something. I'm both human and spirit. I can't ever change that. I want to stay in the human world, but I will never lose my celestial connection" says Raid. Alyn nods. "And what of the other thing" asks Alyn. "I've decided on that too. I'm going to tell everyone I'm a spirit. I'll do it when I think it's right" says Raid. Alyn smiles. "It seems you've matured a little bit. I'm proud of you. Being human has taught you things you could never know as a spirit" says Alyn as he walks away. (Raid's inner monologue) "Yeah, I guess I have learned some things since becoming a human (smiles and has some quick flashbacks of the things hes learned so far) I'm glad I decided to do this". He looks over to see Crush standing in the doorway. "Oh hey pal, whatcha up to" asks Raid. Crush smiles. "Yeah, I've been reminiscing too" says Raid. Crush looks Raid in the eyes. "Yeah, it's been one heck of a ride so far. I'm glad we met Lily that day though. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if we hadn't" says Raid. Crush walks up and puts his hand on Raid's shoulder. "Yeah, sorry for being a downer here lately. But I can't afford to think negatively about tomorrow. We can't lose, we won't lose" says Raid. Crush smiles and pats Raid's back. "Thanks pal. I know your always there for me" says Raid hugging Crush. The two hug for a moment, before Crush looks Raid in the eyes. "Red? I wonder what she wants" says Raid. Crush shrugs his shoulders. "Well, i suppose I should go see what's up" says Raid. He gets up and walks to Red's room. He knocks on the door. "Hey Red, Crush says you wanted to talk to me" says Raid. "Yes, come in and have a seat on the bed darling" says Red. Raid walks in and haves a seat. It's dark so he can't see. "Hey shouldn't you have a light on" asks Raid. Suddenly, he feels two round, and warms breasts push against his back. "Red now's not the time for-" starts Raid. "Shhh. It's not what you think darling. I'm not forcing you to have intercourse with me, (lights some candles with her magic) I just need you to see something" says Red as she lets go. Raid turns around to see the burn again. Raid remains silent. "I've never wanted you to find out darling, but tomorrow may be the end of one of us, and i couldn't bare keeping this from you. My real name….Is Emilia Tachworth. I come from a noble and powerful family of fire benders, however I wasn't born with the ability to cast magic-" starts Red. "How is that possible? Your an S class wizard" says Raid. Red hangs her head in shame. "When I was a little girl, and my magic still hadn't appeared, rumors flew around that my family was losing it's touch. My father was furious about it, he continuously beat me multiple times a day until I was so close to death I could practically see my grave. I never walked around without being so bruised I looked like I had purple skin-" starts Red. "Th-thats terrible" says Raid in suprisment. Red nods. "One day, my father learned about a ritual. It would give someone powerful fire magic, but it would put them through absolute hell to get it. (Raids eyes widen) He dragged me down to basement by my hair, and chained my arms to the wall, I stood barefoot on a cold concrete floor, not being able to move. He ripped my shirt down and exposed my back, then he started burning me. (Raid fist clench) He burned me 7 times for 7 days. During the third day, I gave up. I had nothing, all I wanted was the pain to stop, then it happened. I had a dream, a dream that a hero would save me, a hero I'd fall in love with and marry. That hero, was you. (Raids eyes widen). I know it's hard to believe, but I remember your face so perfectly, it was the only thing that kept me going, I wanted nothing more than to meet my prince charming. After the 7th day, the ritual had been completed. The spirit of the flame goddess was within me. My father had a healer tend to my back, but the scar still remained. I hated him for it, and so I refused to use my magic for him. He became increasingly violent then. My mother watched as my father beat me, then he put his hands around my neck, and started choking me. My older brother Sebastian walked in and saw what he was doing, and attacked my father. Which then brought in my younger sister and brother. My father ordered them to attack me and Sebastian. Mika refused, seeing me all bruised and burned. Mako on the other hand, reveled in the fact that he got it cause chaos. He and Sebastian fought, and Mika told me to run. I did. I ran out of the house as fast as I could. For a year, I starved and lived off of the little bit of charity that some folks gave. I took a job at a bar, and that's when I saw her. My sister Mika. She...she was burned, half of her face was burned very badly, as well as most of her left arm. I knew there were more burns, I just couldn't see them. I felt so bad. I abandoned my baby sis to a cruel fate. She said it wasn't my fault, and she never blamed me. After I left, Mako went on a rampage, Sebastian took him down, but my father had him thrown in an asylum. Mika took me to visit him, and the sight was awful. Sebastian was so out of his mind he had to be constrained to a straight jacket. He didn't even recognize us. I felt so alone, so helpless, but Mika told me to find a guild, they would become my new family. I set out, and eventually found Fairy Tail. I never really felt complete though. Not until the day I saw your face, and found my prince charming" says Red. Raid is clenching his fist. "How could someone do that?! To their daughter? To their sister? It's...it's not right" says Raid. "It's okay darling. Those aren't my family (hugs Raid) You are. You're the only one I need my darling. I'm just sorry that I have such a nasty scar, it's so unattractive-" starts Red. "No, it's fine. It's part of you, and I care about you for who you are" says Raid. "Does that mean...you love me" asks Red. "I-I don't know yet, but I know I could never live without you" says Raid. Red starts crying happy tears as she sqeezes Raid. "I've never told anyone this, so please keep it between us darling" says Red. Raid nods. "...Do you mind if I confess some things to you too" asks Raid. Red backs up and looks him in the eyes. "Darling, there's no need to share anything you're uncomfortable-" starts Red. "No, you shared something very important too you, now it's my turn…I'm a celestial spirit, or was. My gate key was the gate of shadows (pulls out his key) this was my key. (Red looks at the key). I touched a forbidden mirror called the mirror of Humanity, it turns a spirit into a human, and a human into a spirit. The problem is, it only works once. Once you use it, there's no going back. I used it to warn the humans of an incoming invasion of the black key army" says Raid. For a moment, Red does nothing. "I'm sorry, I'm sure you need to think about-" starts Raid. Red slaps Raid. "i guess I deserved that" says Raid. "You idiot, why would you ever think that would change how I feel" asks Red. Raids eyes widen as he sees Red crying. "I love you, not what you are. I don't care what you were, I know what you are now, your my darling, my wonderful, caring darling. That won't ever change. Still, I'm glad you told me. I knew you'd been hiding something" says Red. Raid goes to say something, but hesitates and hugs Red. Winter walks in the room and sees. "W-wait! It's not what It looks like" says Raid. Winter walks over and joins in the hug. "We both love you Raid. Just remember that K" asks Winter. Raid nods. Alyn walks in and whacks the 3 upside the head. "Its late, you should go to bed ALONE" says Alyn. As Winter and Raid walk out, Winter glances back at Red. "I totally stole the first kiss" says Winter. "What?! How dare you" says Red as she goes ro run at Winter, but Alyn shuts the door. "Bedtime. Deal with this stuff tomorrow" says Alyn. Raid goes to his room and stares up at the ceiling. (Raids internal monologue) "Cotton, Lily, Elora, Winter, Alyn, Crush, Red. They all care about me in their own ways, they believe in me. I don't really get this family stuff, but...I can't let anything happen to them. We've been through so much together in the short amount of time I've been a human. I-I think with our bonds, we can win tomorrow. We'll get Yu back, save the town, and head back to Fairy Tail" Raid smiles.

Episode 13: We're coming to save Yu!

The next morning everyone gets up, and Raid meets them outfront. "Alright before we March today I need to come clean. I'm a celestial spirit, I'm from the dark side of the celestial world. My key is called the gate of shadows, I touched a magical mirror called the mirror of Humanity, and it turned me into a human. I just thought you should know" says Raid. Crush steps forward and nods. "Also, Crush is a celestial spirit too. His key is the gate of the blackwing" says Raid. "And I am as well. I'm a diamond key, the gate of protection" says Alyn. Elora nods. "Thank you for confiding in us" says Elora. "Wow! So cool" says Lily. "Eh, I already knew" says Winter. "My darling told me last night" says Red. Cotton looks around. "Nobody else is a spirit are they" asks Cotton. Everyone shakes their head. "We shall keep your secret" says Elora. "Thank you" says Raid. Everyone but Cotton walks up to Raid. "Alright! Time to march on the mayor" says Raid as the group makes their way to the mayor's estate. When they get there, it's eerily quiet. "I don't like this" says Alyn. "Why not, it's just a little quiet, no big deal" says Raid. A group of cloaked mages appear behind the group. "Stop right there. The mayor will not permit further entry" says one of the mages. "You go on. I'll deal with these mages" says Red. "There's too many, I can't let you-" starts Raid. "She's an S class wizard Raid, these guys aren't nearly on her level" says Winter. Raid reluctantly nods and everyone but Red runs inside the estate. Red's hands flame. "Not a single one of you will get past this point, I do this for my darling" says Red. The group get in, and it looks like a maze. "There are so many directions to go" says Elora. "Then we split up. We can cover more ground that way" says Alyn. Raid sighs. "Hopefully they all lead to the same place. I guarantee they're guarded" says Raid. "There is a problem. 7 paths, 6 of us" says Elora. "Red can get the path we missed" says Winter as she puts her hand on the floor, and an icy arrow points to path on the far right. Everyone nods, and rushes down their separate paths. Raid comes to a big room, and is taken aback by what he sees. Anack stands there and grins. "You know, I was about to come see you "spirit", but you've done me the favor of coming straight to me. Must be my lucky day" says Anack. "Well, this confirms the mayor's involvement" says Raid. "Yeah, the mayor hired me, my guild was happy to comply" says Anack. Raids eyes narrow. "Your part of the dark guild" says Raid. "Yeah, so isn't the mayor. It doesn't matter. You're going to be a member soon enough" says Anack. Raid draws his dark blasters. "I can't lose this time. I know what I'm fighting for" says Raid. Anack pulls out his axe. "I'd like to say you would have saved yourself a lot of pain if you came quietly, but the truth is I would have still beat the shit out of you" says Anack. Crush gets down the hallway and gets slammed into the wall with a mighty punch. Crush looks over to see Monark standing there. "Me smash! You die" yells Monark. Crush stands up from the wall and Cracks his knuckles. Alyn gets a good bit down the hallway, when he runs into Riya. "Are you a member of this dark guild who have been terrorizing these town people" asks Alyn. Riya is looking in a bottle, but glances up at Alyn. "And what if I am" she asks. Alyn's eyes narrow. "Don't try to fool me, I know you aren't. Your emblem suggest you are not" says Alyn. Riya looks down at her hand. "Yeah, I'm not. I'm a member of Mermaid Heel, you know the all girls guild" says Riya looking back to her bottle. "Then why ally yourself with such deplorable people" asks Alyn. Riya gently sets the bottle on the ground. "Most of the big fighters aren't from a dark guild, I'm from Mermaid Heel, Heller is from the Scarlet Swallows, and several others aren't guild affiliated" says Riya. "That doesn't answer my question" says Alyn. Riya smiles. "We have a purpose" says Riya. Alyn nods. "As do we. I hope you don't judge us for doing what me must" says Alyn. Riya puts on a pouty face. "Look, I'm not really in the mood for a fight (grabs a bottle) care for a drink" asks Riya. "I can't, I-" starts Alyn. "Look, how about this, we'll have a drinking contest. You win, you get to go on unharmed, and I get drunk enough to forget my sorrows. I win, and I still get drunk, and I'll draw on your face with a marker" says Riya. Alyn shakes his head. "Aren't you a little too old for such antics" asks Alyn. "Hey, 27 isn't old, besides I need some sort of prize for winning" says Riya. "Fine, but you won't need that marker. I shall be the one to take victory" says Alyn. Riya smiles. "Sounds like my kind of drinking buddy. Too the booze" says Riya. Winter arrives in a room with Shield and Spear. "I don't want to fight you" says Winter. "No, you just want to hurt our master" says Shield. "No, I only want to rescue Yu" says Winter. "That information is not compatible. Information says that you are the ones who hurt the girl, furthermore you have captured and mind controlled 3 celestial spirits. Mission objective, eliminate intruders, and capture the spirits known as Shadow, Blackwing, and Protection, also known under their human aliases, Raid, Crush, and Alyn" says Spear. "Don't you see what you're doing is wrong? You're hurting people! You're master is using you to hurt people who are just trying to live normal lives" says Winter. Spear hesitates. "Assessment accurate...Multiple subjects were attempting to live normal lives" says Spear. "Yes! Don't you see, we're trying to help those people" says Winter. "Don't listen to her lies Spear, master wants to help people, she's just using convenient excuses" says Shield. Spear nods. "Affirmative. Doubts erased, battle mode engaged" says Spear. Winter gets some ice shards ready. "I didn't want to do this, but I won't let you stop me. Time for you to meet the ice princess" says Winter. Lily gets to the end of her hallway, and gets slammed into a wall. "My apologies my dear, we must stop meeting like this, though I do wish you would leave. I don't wish to cause you harm" says Heller. "I don't want to hurt anyone either, but you guys are hurting people, and I can't stand to see that. It's not nice to hurt people" says Lily. "You must see the bigger picture my dear, we have a grand and Noble purpose you know" says Heller. "Nothing justifies hurting people" says Lily. Heller sighs. "I knew you wouldn't understand. I'm afraid the only way either one of us is going to get anywhere is with violence" says Heller. Lily looks down in disappointment. "I suppose so" says Lily. Elora reaches the end of her hallway and sees Kilim. "Oh my, how bothersome. I was hoping for some man candy, instead I get a girl with an angry scowl. Still, you do have a hint of beauty to you, so I shall allow you to do battle with me" says Kilim. Elora draws her sword. "I'm ready when you are, but be warned, I won't hold back" says Elora. Meanwhile, Red stands there unscratched surrounded by a bunch of unconcious and burned cloaked guys. She runs inside, and sees the arrow. She nods and runs down that hallway. When she reaches the end, she sees Icuris standing there. "Well that's unfortunate, still I'm obligated to stop you, for the sake of the world" says Icuris. "I don't care what your motives, you harmed a little girl, someone who can't defend herself (has a quick flashback of her in chains), you harmed my precious darling (has a quick flashback of Raid unconcious in the bed and badly injured), and kidnapped innocent mages, almost including me (has a quick flashback of her and Elora in the cage). You can't be forgiven, I will beat you" says Red as her body starts to flames up. "Yeah, we've done some pretty terrible things, the guilt will follow me for the rest of my life, but it's what it takes to accomplish our goal, I'll take on all the guilt and nightmares the world can throw at me" says Icuris as readies a black flame in his hand.

Episode 14: Know thy enemy

Meanwhile, Raid is getting beat up pretty bad. He's already worn out and bruised up. "Damn, I still don't know what to do. Come on, think" Raid says to himself. "It's hopeless. Your finished runt" says Anack as he swings his axe again. The impact sends Raid flying into a wall, and his sunglasses fall down on his eyes. "What? Why did it get dark all of a sudden? Has the sun gone down" asks Raid. "No, your wearing sunglasses idiot" says Anack. Raid then disappears and reappears somewhere else. "Wow! This is amazing. I can teleport anywhere now, without using the dark" says Raid. "So what its not enough to win" says Amnack as he swings again. This time, Raid disappears and appears on the other side of the room, where he shoots Anack from behind. Anack grunts and turns to Raid. Your asking for it punk" says Anack. Raid starts randomly appearing and disappearing in random places. "Wh-where the hell are you" asks Anack. Raid starts firing at random spots at random times. Anack takes more and more damage. "ENOUGH" yells Anack. He holds out his arms, and a huge magical blast happens, sending Raid flying across the room. "I didn't want to have to use this, but you give me no choice" says Anack. He pulls out a black key. Raid's eyes widen. "No! You don't know what those can do" says Raid. "I know they can make me powerful" says Anack as he cuts his finger with his axe. He dips the key in the blood, and his whole body gets surrounded by darkness. When it fades, he looks completely different, he looks like the guy he faced before. "How" asks Raid. "Let me let you in on a little secret, I'm not one person, I'm serveal spirits rolled into one. My spirit name...is Legion" says the guy. Raid narrows his gaze. "Legion, one of the seven keys never recovered" says Raid. "That's correct. I can make several copies of my key with my thoughts all rolled into 1, the main body" says Legion. "Then, you use a host body. When a person, mage or not gets blood on your key, you use their body to take a physical form in this world, until your copy key is taken of the body of the person your controling" says Raid. Legion claps. "You've done your homework, but you forgot something. I take the power of a mage and amplify it. However when it's a non mage my power drastically decreases, as does my intelligence. This fight won't be as easy this time, especially since I'm using an S class wizard as my host" says Legion. "Bring it" says Raid. Legion snaps his fingers, and a bunch of axes appear and start swirling around Legion, creating a ball of spinning axes. "Now you can't attack me at range, and any close range attack is completely useless" says Legion. Raid tries firing some shots, but the axes easily stop them. Then Legion holds up his hand, and a bunch of axes appear and start flying at Raid. Raid dodges axe after axe using his teleportation, but he doesn't have much time to rest between axes. Crush and Monark trade blows back and forth, neither one seeming to give up ground. Crush thinks about his emblem, and Raid, then delivers more harder blows, sending Monark sliding back. Both pant from exhaustion, but stand their ground. Alyn and Riya sit around several empty bottles, with a few unopened ones. "You know, you're alright spirit. You've got...spirit" says Riya. "You sound drunk" says Alyn. "Nah, this contest ain't over until I draw whiskers on your face" says Riya grabbing another bottle. Alyn grabs another as well, and the two take big swigs of their respective bottles. Winter dodges continuous attacks from Spear, but everytime she attacks, Shield puts up a barrier. (Winter's inner monologue) "I don't think I can take them alone. Their coordination and teamwork is flawless. It's hard to believe 2 simple spells could be so difficult to overcome, still, everyone is probably fighting way tougher opponents, so I can't give up". Lily keeps throwing simple lightning bolts, but Heller simply redirects them away. "My dear, we my both be S class wizards, but you are to simple minded. That's why we are totally separate classes. Still, I must applaud your resistance. It appears to be difficult for you to control the amps of your magic" says Heller. "How do you know" asks Lily. "My dear, with a magic like mine, control is very much key, and I'm happy to inform you that running away is still an option. We were told to do whatever you wish to the intruders. I shall give you the chance to flee" says Heller. " I can't. I'm a member of Fairy Tail, and I will never give up. We fight back against the odds and destroy destiny if we have too" says Lily. Heller sighs. "Ah, foolhardy girl. Perhaps more redirection will help you change your mind" says Heller. Elora continuously slashes at Kilim with her sword, but Kilims sword like fingers easily protect him. Kilim yawns. "This is pointless. Your skills are obviously inferior to my abilities. Surrender now" says Kilim. "Never" says Elora. Kilim smirks and shatters Elora's sword blade. "If you continue this futile resistance, I'll be forced to end your life, and I'd rather not stain my beautiful blades" says Kilim. Elora scowls at Kilim. Red dodges some black fireballs from Icuris. "Why are you even here? This is private property" asks Icuris."I'm here to put a stop to this whole operation" says Red. "Why do you care" asks Icuris. "I'm not here to answer questions" says Red. Icuris sighs. "Fine, let's just get this over with" says Icuris.

Episode 15: The hidden ability of the gate of shadows!

Meanwhile, Raid continuously dodges axes from Legion's onslaught, until an axe handle slams him in the gut and sends him flying. "Even with your teleportation you can't stand against me" says Legion. Raid clenches his fist. A flashback of everyone he's fighting for flies through his mind, then he feels Winter's spirit. He looks over to see his arm being iced over with an obsidian black ice. "What's happening" asks Raid. The ice stops after it consumes Raid's left side, with his right side still normal. "Die" yells Legion as an axe flies at Raid. Raid holds up his hand, and a pillar of black ice shoots from the ground protecting him. Raid looks down at his hand and smiles. "I don't know what this is, and I don't really need too. I just need it to work" says Raid. "What the hell? How did you do that" asks Legion. "I'm not sure myself" says Raid. "Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. Ice can be shattered" says Legion. More axes fly at Raid, but he swings his ice arm, and a bunch of ice shards fly and hit the axes, knocking them down. Another axe flies at Raid and shatters his ice arm. "Ha, let's see you-" starts Legion. The ice arm grows right back. "I didn't even feel it" says Raid looking at his ice arm. Legion looks mad. "Fine! I'll just hit you with everything I have" says Legion. A bunch of axes appears everywhere around him, then fly towards Raid. Raid slams his ice hand down on the ground, and a huge wave of ice flies from the ground, pinning Legion, and destroying the axes. "You'll...pay for this...shadow" says Legion. Legion disappears and Anack turns back to normal. The ice retracts, turning Raid back to normal. He looks down at his arm in suprisment, it's completely unharmed. Crush and Monark both look tired, but Crush rushes up and unleashes a flurry of dash punches straight into Monarks gut, then jumps and does a spinning kick to Monarks face, knocking him out cold. Crush lands on the ground and smirks, then proceedes down the hallway. Alyn and Riya both have one bottle left. "Give up, Y-You can't beat...m-(hick) me" says Alyn. He looks over to see Riya has fallen asleep. "I win, now I must (hick) take a nap" he says as he passes out next to her. Riya opens her eyes and smiles. "Damn, looks like I lost. I'm sure the others have this. I better make this guy a hangover drink. He's definitely going to need it" says Riya. Winter stands there battered and bruised. "I-I can't…they're too strong. Their teamwork is flawless" says Winter. All of a sudden, a flurry of bullets fly past Winter and hit Shields barrier. Then, Winters wounds start healing. She turns to see, Cotton standing there with Loyd, the doctor, and Regnis. "What are-" starts Winter. "I brought reinforcements" says Cotton. "What can I say, that guy touched my heart by saving the strays of the town, so I'll help" says the doctor. "I'm with y'all. I ain't going down again I ain't" says Loyd. "Ah, the battlefield. It makes me feel 20 years younger, which is still quite old mind you" says Regnis. "You really think this rag tag team can take us" asks Shield. "We fight for what's right, so we won't lose! We're going to save the townspeople" says Cotton. "The townspeople are in danger" asks Spear. "Of course not, our master wouldn't dare" says Shield ."Oh yeah, I have proof" says Kitsui as she walks in and tosses down a folder. Spear turns to Shield. "I believe them Shield. Why would the townspeople attack us if we're helping them" asks Spear. "No no no no! I can't accept-" starts Shield. Spear gives her a hard punch to the stomach, which knocks Shield out. "Apologies, but I must do what's right. Sleep well sister" says Spear as she gently sets Shield down on the ground. "Let's continue" says Winter. The group nod and run down the hallway. Lily lays on the ground. "Your magic is no use. No single attack can take me. It's useless" says Heller Lily looks upset. "Now I must go deal with your friends" says Heller. Lily's eyes widen. "Don't hurt my friends" yells Lily. "I'd rather not, but if they insist, I shall have no choice in the matter" says Heller. Lily stands up and looks serious. "I won't let you lay a finger on my friends" says Lily. "And what are you going to do" asks Heller. Lily's body starts sparkling. "Please, I can redirect magic, it's hopeless" says Heller. "LIGHTNING GOD, ULTIMATE DISCHARGE" yells Lily. The whole rooms gets hit with several lightning bolts. Heller is unable to redirect them all and continuously gets zapped, the more lightning that hits Lily, the stronger her attacks get. Eventually Heller lays on the ground, completely numb from all the lightning attacks. Lily falls down on the ground. "I'm sorry guys. I can't go on, I'm out of magic" says Lily. Kilim grins at Elora. "Ready to throw in the bucket? Your terribly outmatched, even if you magicly requip another sword, your doomed" says Kilim. Elora looks mad. "I didn't want to have to use this, but as the daughter of Erza Scarlett, I'll show you my mother's power" says Elora. Kilim yawns. "REQUIP" yells Elora. A suit of black and red armor appears, with a huge black and red sword. "Oh please, that armor makes you look desperate honey. Wear something that covers more than your chest and naughty bits next time" says Kilim. Elora propells with extreme speed, and with a mighty swing of her sword, shatters Kilims nails. "My beautiful nails! You've ruined them" says Kilim. Elora narrows her gaze. Kilim stands up, and his fist turn into the same material that his nails were. "So that's how your magic works" says Elora. "Oh, were you curious? All you needed to do was ask" says Kilim. "It doesn't matter now. I'll end you! REQUIP" says Elora. Her armor transforms into a golden plate, in one of her hands is a shield, and in the other is a mace. "What do you plan to do with that" asks Kilim. "This" says Elora as she throws the mace with extreme strength and it bashes Kilims nose, knocking him out cold. Elora's armor disappears and she looks down in defeat. "You so owe me big time for this Raid" says Elora as she rushes down the hallway. Red and Icuris are in a flame deadlock. "Damn, what is this magic? It's incredible" says Icuris. "That's not magic, that's my feelings" says Red. The two break the deadlock. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Icuris. "I'm doing this for my darling, so I'm pouring my emotions into my flames. You don't even know what you're fighting for do you" asks Red. "I-" starts Icuris. "If you don't believe what your fighting for, allow me to show you why that is. If you don't believe me, or it's not enough we can still fight. I'll have no problem taking you on" says Red. Icuris puts down his hands. "Fine, those sound like reasonable terms" says Icuris. Red and Icuris make their way down the hallway.

Episode 16: Raid and Crush vs the Mayor

Raid makes it down the hallway, and into a big chamber. He looks over to see the passages all lead here. "Good. The others should be here soon" says Raid. Crush comes running out of the next hallway. The two high-five. "That's far enough. You shan't go further" says a voice from the other side of the room. Raid and Crush look over to see the man from the restaurant standing there. "What are you doing here" asks Raid. "I should be asking you that. This is my home" says the man. "So you're-" starts Raid. "Yes, I'm the mayor. It's good to see you again young man" says the mayor. Raid drops his shadow blasters in surprisment. "What is it that you are doing here" asks the mayor. Raid shakes his head, grabs his blasters, and points them at the mayor. "Where is Yu" asks Raid. "I'm afraid I don't know who you mean" says the mayor. "The little girl I told you about! Your lackys took her" says Raid. "I see. That's unfortunate. I'm afraid I can't give her back then" says the mayor. "Why not" asks Raid. "She is needed to save the world" says the mayor. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Raid. Crush cracks his knuckles, but Raid holds out his arm to stand down. "I was fortold about an incoming invasion. Several thousand beings of complete darkness are coming to this world. Of they come, humanity stands no chance in their current state. They need to be strengthened, both mentally and physically. I've been producing these (pulls out a black key, and Raid's eyes widen). These enhance a wizards abilities by a vast amount,if everyone get one, then there is no way even a single human life will be lost" says the mayor. "Do you even realize what those are?! Those contain the very things you plan to destroy! How did you even get one, let alone all those? The black keys haven't been in the human world for a very long time" says Raid. "My associate gave them to me. I'm aware that what you say is true, but they obey my associate, so we'll fight fire with fire, only better" says the mayor. "Is that why you're kidnapping people alongside a dark guild" asks Raid. The mayor looks concerned, but shakes his head. "It's for the good of the people. I shall pay for whatever has been done in my name, but I must save humanity first" says the mayor. "Hurting people to save humanity makes no sense! You just become the new threat" says Raid. The mayor draws his sword. "Then let us see who's will is stronger young man. Remember what I told you? It's time to put it into practice" says the mayor. Raid puts on his sunglasses and disappears. He reappears and disappears around the mayor several times, but the mayor never once flinches. Raid stops and fires a hail of bullets at the mayor, but the mayor swings his sword and they all disappear. "That's pretty good, but not good enough. I have no magic, so all my skill has gone into the sword. See the resolve of my will" says the mayor. He goes to slash Raid, but Crush slams into the mayor, sending him flying. The mayor looks at Crush's eyes and nods. "I see the desire in your eyes to protect your friend, and felt it on my side. Very well, I shall fight both of you at once" says the mayor. Raid and Crush both smile and fist bump each other. "Wrong choice. Me and Crush are an unstoppable team together" says Raid. They both smile. Raid smiles, and Crush dashes forward, throwing several attacks together. The mayor dodges them all, and tries to return attacks, but Crush catches the sword between his thumb and index finger, and punches the mayor with his other hand, then while the mayor is stunned Raid appears behind him and unleashes another hail of shots. The mayor dodges, hoping the shots would hit Crush, but the two smile, and a Blackwing comes out of Crush's back, and swings. The shots then get redirected to the mayor. (The mayor's inner monologue) "Their teamwork is outstanding. It's as though they have complete faith in one another". Raid disappears again, but this time Crush stands still. The mayor looks around for Raid. For a moment nothing, then a shot comes from over Crush's shoulder. The mayor looks over to see Raid on the other side of the room, the shot flew right past, near milometers away from Crush's face, and he didn't even flinch. "Obviously the small on is the tank of the team" says the mayor as he charges at Crush with lightning speed. He goes to slam the sword down on Crush, but Raid appears in front of Crush and crosses her duel blasters together and using them to shield them both. Then Crush flicks the sword, and the blade flies off. "In all my time, I've never seen such teamwork and dedication. You two are a force to be reckoned with, but sadly (pulls out a knife and goes to stab Raid, but Crush realizes and pushes Raid out of the way, taking the hit instead) it must come to an end" says the mayor. "Crush! Crush! Don't die on me man" yells Raid as he tears up and catches Crush as he falls. Crush looks Raid in the eyes. "Yeah no dip ow! You just got stabbed" says Raid. Crush holds up an okay sign with his hand. "Man, I don't know what you Blackwings are made of, but I'm glad. I can't lose you now pal" says Raid hugging Crush. Crush roles his eyes. "I-I am not overly emotional, and why did you call me your mother" asks Raid. Crush smiles. "Don't clam up on me now" yells Raid. The mayor just stares at the two. "I seem to have lost myself. This kind of friendship is what I was fighting to protect" says the mayor. "Then-" starts Raid. "I surrender" says the mayor tossing away the knife. "Oh I'm glad. All this fighting has given me a headache...or maybe it's just a hangover" says a voice. The group turn to see Riya standing there. "So...everything I did...it was for nothing" says another voice. The group turn to see Icuris and Red standing there. "Not for nothing. You fought for what you believed, I'm just sorry to have failed you all. I was too blinded by my own desires" says the mayor. "No, I still believe in our cause. We just need to do it a new way, a better way" says Icuris. "Ah, so we missed all the action" says another voice. The group turns to see Winter's group. "Wh-What are you guys doing here" asks Raid. "Answer, master ordered me to guard the mayor's mansion-" started Spear. "Uh, pretty sure he was talking to us" says the doctor. Spear nods. "Affirmative" she says. "Ah, I could of taken him. I've never met a youngster who could best old Regnis" says Regnis. "I have made it" says another voice. The group turns to see Elora. "So, I've got a question. Why did you put Legions key in that old box" asks Raid. "Who's Legion? And what box" asks the mayor. Raids eyes widen. "You mean that wasn't you" asks Raid. "No" says the mayor. "Crap, and he said he didn't have Yu either. That means...this fight isn't over yet" Raid says to himself. "Where is everyone else" asks Cotton. "I defeated Kilim" says Elora. "The bearded man is sleeping off our drinking competition" says Riya. "Anack and Legion are both down on my end" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid. "Oh, Crush says Monark is down" says Raid. "Then Lily and Heller are still missing" says Winter. "I shall go look for them" says Elora. (Raid's inner monologue) "Damn, why do I feel like something really bad is about to happen".

Episode 17: Face the Fairy Family!

Soon after, the doctor heals everyone, then everyone gets brain blasted. "Awe that'idn't feel good i'didn't" says Loyd. "Echo! What the hell" yells Icuris. "Yeah, my head's already killing me, what gives" says Riya grabbing her head. Echo walks in followed by Appa. "It's okay Appa, we've surrendered. It's over" says Icuris. "Yes master, I believe we have done wrong and as such-" starts Spear. "Silence! Nothing is over! Looks like my plan failed, but I shall set it back on track" says Appa. "No, I appreciate the warning about the invasion, but this has gone too far" says the mayor. Appa laughs. "Did you honestly think I wanted to save the humans? (Raids eyes widen) I'm a celestial spirit" says Appa. Raid clenches his fist. "I see we're missing the diamond key spirit, still I have 2 black keys, now my brothers, help me get rid of this evidence" says Appa. "I'm no brother of yours, I'm going to stop you" says Raid. Crush nods. "Ah, the gate of shadows, key number 17. This should be interesting. Why fight me? You wear human flesh, but deep down, you're pure darkness" says Appa. "That's not true! Darling is a good man" says Red. "Is he now? Is that why he has been lying to you all" asks Appa. "No, he told us he was a spirit, so you're wrong" says Winter. "And did he tell you about Anya" asks Appa. Raid clenches his fist. Everyone looks at Raid but says nothing. "You leave her out of this you jackass" yells Raid as he fired several shots at Appa. Appa stands there unscratched. "It doesn't really matter. If you wish to fight me, then you can die as the human you pretend to be" says Appa. "Where's Yu? What's your goal? How did you even get to this world" asks Raid. Appa smiles. "My goal? It's to help the black key army take over this pathetic world! But in order to explain further, you must know my true name (pulls out a black key)". "That's Legion's key! How did-" starts Raid. "We are many. I am the true celestial spirit Legion, as you've seen, I can make many copies of my key. I'm one of the black 7" says Appa. "What's...the black 7" asks Winter. "They are the 7 black keyed spirits that the diamond keys never took back to the celestial world. My plan was to hand my keys out to everyone, using the assistance of the mayor, a man known for his honor and wisdom. They would allow me to control several humans at will, I took the liberty of taking control of poor Echo here first. I hired a dark guild with powerful wizards, and a common street gang to kidnap townspeople, then using Echos power, combined with my abilities, I can gain complete control of them, I was going to use them as cannon fodder for the front lines in the war. However, some people just couldn't be controlled. Now, I've explained my plan, and you are going to die" says Appa. Keller, Monark, Kilim, and Anack walk in with their eyes glowing green. "Meet my newest slaves, but they aren't alone (holds his hand to the ground, and several Legions pop up from the ground) they've got reinforcements" says Appa. "I don't think so, black windstorm" says Riya holding out her arm. A bunch of black leaves and petals slash a bunch of Legions, but they seem overall unslowed. "Demonic flame chaos blast" says Icuris. The black flame shoots from his hand and hits the Legions, but they just spawn more. Regnis draws his sword, and everyone but Raid and Crush fight the mind controlled people and Legions. Crush propels himself forward and delivers several mighty blows to Appa, but Appa flicks Crush away. Raid continuously fires at him, but gets nowhere. Then Appa puts the key on his chest, which sinks in and disappears. "The more you fight, the more I learn, the more I learn, the better we fight! We are Legion! We are unstoppable" says Appa. "I've...got a crazy idea" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid. "Just go with it pal. I need you to distract him" says Raid. Crush nods and with no hesitation, blast himself forward, and rapidly unleashes a flurry of relentless attacks, which don't phase Appa at all. Appa punches Crush, which send him flying back into the wall, but Raid appears where Crush was in front of Appa, and touches the spot the key was. Raid then disappears, and reappears in an all dark place. "What...is this place? Did it work" asks Raid. "So, you teleported into my key. What's your plan from here" says Legion materializing himself. "I beat you" says Raid. "You and what army" asks Legion. Raid slaps his forehead. "Don't make puns about yourself in a serious battle" says Raid. Legion laughs and summons an army. "Glad you caught the pun. I'll make sure to kill you nice and slow" says Legion. "I don't think so, in here I have an advantage you don't" says Raid. "Oh? And what might that be" ask Legion in unison. "The darkness" says Raid as he disappears. He reappears and holds out his hand. "Dark bullet" says Raid as several shots of darkness shoot from his hand and hit Legion. The Legion it hit disappears. "And here thought thought you couldn't surprise me anymore, the teleportation, the ice, now you have actual magic" says Legion. "Yeah, but I can only use dark bullet in pure darkness, and that's right now" says Raid as he holds out his hand again. "Dark bullet hailstorm" says Raid. Several dark bullets rain down from every which way taking out several Legions left and right. Meanwhile in the outer world. "Aye, lookie'are. What's happening to'em" asks Loyd. Appa is sweating and looks like he's hurting. "I don't know, but whatever it is, it's weakening them. Now's our chance to strike back" says Icuris. An attack flies at Spear, but is stopped by a barrier. Spear looks back to see Shield standing there. They smile at each other. "Oh dang, all this fightings gonna throw my back out. Martha's gonna be pissed" says Regnis. Raid is in the key, continuously wiping out several Legions at once, when he finally hits the last one. "(Pant) I think...I got him" says Raid. Appa appears in the key world. "Fine, I shall fight you in my true form. No more messing around. Can't beat me here, this is my world" says Appa. A darkness explosion send Raid flying back, Appa then claps his hands together, and a huge wave impacts Raid and sends him flying further back. As Appa goes to land a finisher, he gets and impact from outside, making him wince in pain (shows Crush throwing everything he has into clobbering Appa from the outside). Raid smiles and puts his hand directly into Appa's face. "Dark bullet, ultimate move. Death shot" says Raid. A single small shot shoots from Raid's hand and rips through Appa's head. Then Raid suddenly appears in the real world, and Appa lays there holding his chest. The key falls out, and snaps in two. "That's impossible! I am Legion! I am-" starts Appa. Hey suddenly fades away. "And back to the celestial world you go" says Raid. Echo falls to the ground. "ECHO" yells Icuris as he runs up and grabs her. "Its finally over" says Raid with a sigh. "Not entirely, there's something we still have to do" says Winter. Raid nods. Soon after, they find a room, and open it up to see a bunch of people in cages. "Now that Legion is gone, they shouldn't be mind controlled anymore" says Regnis. Raid opens the cage, and people run out, then Yu runs up and grabs Raid's leg. "I'm sorry Yu, but your safe now" says Raid. Yu holds up her arms, and Raid puts her on her shoulders. Crush smiles at Raid. "Yeah, I guess I do kinda owe you one don't I" asks Raid. After a bit, the group meet outside, with a newly revived Lily, and a now awoken Alyn. "It's been fun, stop by anytime" says the doctor as he walks away. "I'll see you youngsters some other time. Let me know when you need a good old person story, I think my combat days are behind me after today" says Regnis as he walks away. "I'm going back to the guild now, I'll catch you later handsome" says Kitsui as she rubs Raids face and walks away. "I've got something t'do" says Loyd as he walks away. "What will you guys do" asks Alyn looking at the former bad guys. "Return to our respective guilds. It's been real though, Fairy Tail definitely has an okay in my book now" says Icuris. "I shall retire from being mayor. I plan to live out my life helping those I've harmed with my actions" says the mayor. Raid puts his hand on the mayor's shoulder. "The best thing you can do is stay mayor. Do what you can to help people with the power you have" says Raid. The mayor chuckles. "And to think, I was the one giving YOU advice before. Thank you my friend. Your guild will always be welcome in this town" says the mayor. The former nobadies and the mayor walk away, leaving only Raid, Crush, Winter, Red, Elora, Alyn, Lily, Cotton, and Yu. "So, about what Appa said...about Anya" says Red with a hint of jeliousy. Raid looks troubled by it. "I do not believe he is ready to share that information" says Alyn. Raid sadly nods. "That's okay, you'll tell us when you're ready" says Lily. Everyone nods. "Thanks guys" says Raid. "I'm hungry Raid, I never got to eat your food" says Yu. "Let's go out for pancakes" says Elora. "Pancakes? It's past lunch time" says Cotton. "Raid, I want pancakes" says Yu. Crush nods. Raid sighs. "Guess we're going out for pancakes" says Raid. The group start walking off. (Raids inner monologue) "And that's the story of how I joined the guild that changed my life forever, but I had no idea the adventures that awaited me".
