2. FT: MoH (Raid) season 2

Season 2

Episode 1: Judgement

Raid, and the group stand in the guildhall with a displeased looking master Warren. "Alright Fairy Tail, I would like to make some announcements. First up, we have 2 new members to our family-" starts Warren. "Two? But I thought Yu was-" starts Raid. Loyd walks out from behind master Warren. "Lookie here. I'm one of dem bonafide mages witha a symbol thing on m'arm" says Loyd. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me" says Raid. "Not that guy" says Winter. "Why did it have to be him of all people" asks Elora. Crush shakes his head. Lily runs up to him and shakes his hand. "Welcome to Fairy Tail Loyd! I'm so glad you decided to join, especially since we already know you" says Lily. "Ahem, moving on. Our next order of business is not good news. These 8 Fairy Tail wizards went against my very clear orders, and singlehandedly took on a dark guild. It was reckless, foolhardy, and stupid" says Warren. "However, one of our guilds most infamous wizards was known for such things. He defied the odds over and over, as you did. In light of this, you shan't be punished" says Warren. The group looks relived. "However, Raid, Crush, and Alyn, it has come to my attention that you lied to us, and are indeed celestial spirits. You broke the very trust that this guild prides itself on-" starts Master Warren. Raid and Crush hang their heads in shame again. "If I may speak, would you have believed us had we told you we were celestial spirits? Surely you can understand the situation master" says Alyn. "Be that as it may, this is a serious matter. Your fates hang in the balance of your peers. If they vote against you, you will no longer be members of Fairy Tail. Those who fought alongside you at the battle against the mayor will be benched for this vote" says Warren. He looks over at the rest of the wizards. "...They can't be trusted...are they lying about their loyalties" asks Mari. Raid clenches his fist. "I think I have to agree with Mari on this one master" says Laslow pushing his glasses back up his nose. "Alright then moving-" starts Master Warren. "However, I think expelling them from the guild is a bit much. Surely the most have earned a little respect putting their lives on the line for the town" says Laslow. Warren nods. Nako shakes his head. "We can't afford to take risks like we used to, look what almost happened to Red and Elora" says Nako. "And might I remind you that they were the ones who saved them" asks Hiroshi. "This time, but we won't get lucky everytime" says Nako. "It had nothing to do with luck. Being frank master Warren, I don't think the girls would have been rescued without Raid and Crush's interference. Furthermore, it was their knowledge of the celestial world that allowed them to stop the evil spirit known as Legion. Not to mention, I've never seen the girls so happy about people in my entire life, and that's really saying something for Lily" says Hiroshi. "...I didn't expect you to be the one to defend them so strongly..." says Mari. Hiroshi nods. "I'm just giving facts" says Hiroshi. Mushi looks down and shakes his head. "Well, Gerard is out today, the floor is now open to anyone who wishes to speak" says Warren. "I got something yer'honor. I think these folks are fine individuals, and should be aquitted of the charges" says Loyd. Everyone looks at Loyd in surprisment. "Hey I can use fancy talkin when I need ta" says Loyd. Lily stands up. "It's not fair master! They all shower true Fairy Tail spirit against the mayor! They are our friends, sure they lied, but if they hadn't we might not have gotten to know them" says Lily. Elora stands. "I agree. They all fought with everything they had too to save a single little girl, they showed spirit fighting for what they believed, and Raid even did all he could to help one stay cat. If that isn't what a human should be, then I'd rather be a spirit myself" says Elora. Winter stands. "Raid didn't lie to everyone. He told me the truth when we first set out on our adventure. If you want to kick them out, then kick me out too, because I was lying too" says Winter. Red stands up. "Darling is darling, no matter what race. They all are. Is being different a bad thing? They are still the same people deep down" says Red. Cotton stands. "They are good guys! Alyn kept us grounded when we started straying from the path, Crush is always willing to lay his life down for the ones he cares about, and master Raid is kind hearted. They shouldn't be kicked out of the guild for one mistake, we all make them" says Cotton. "I do have to say, I definitely would have been who knows where if they hadn't come and rescued me, which by the way, you've yet to claim your reward" says Kitsui winking back at Raid, Crush and Alyn. Master Warren nods. Very well then. Raid, Crush, and Alyn. You are hereby recognized as full humans, and may retain guild member status" says Warren. Raid and Crush hug each other in excitement. "Now, it's been a long journey. Rest up for tomorrow and-" starts Master Warren. "Uh, master Warren? What about showing them the job board" asks Lily. "You can handle that my dear. For now, I have other matters to attend" says master Warren. Lily pulls the three over to a huge board with a bunch of pieces of paper on it. "These are guild quest. They are jobs that guild members can do to make money. You kinda need money to survive in the human world" says Lily. Raid looks over and sees another board on the S class floor. "What about that one" asks Raid. "Those are jobs that you guys aren't cut out to handle. It's for experienced S class wizards only. I'm an S class, and even I can't handle most of them" says Red. "Sounds like a challenge" says Alyn. "It's against guild rules for you guys to take on those quest, sorry" says Lily. Raid looks over the board of normal jobs and nods. "I'll start doing quest first thing tomorrow" says Raid. Crush nods. "One more thing, you can take on quest alone, or you can register a team with Nako. Of course, different jobs require different things, so it's important to think about when making your decision" says Lily. "So, tell me, how does one become S class" asks Alyn. "I'm not allowed to tell you that. If you become eligible, you'll find out" says Lily. Alyn nods. "Well, I'm going to take a nap" says Raid. Crush nods and looks at Raid. "Exploring the town huh? Well, good luck pal" says Raid. Crush walks away, and Raid goes to his room. Elora walks up to Alyn. "Do you need something" asks Alyn. "I want you to spar with me again" says Elora. "Why" asks Alyn. "I need to get stronger, and I think you could help me at the very least, I know your stronger than me, so you could teach me what you know" says Elora. Alyn nods. "Very well. Let's go somewhere where we can go all out says Alyn as he and Elora walk away. Crush walks through town, and sees a girl being chased. He narrows his gaze, then she trips. She holds up her arms to shield herself, and the guy goes to kick her in the face. Crush rushes over, and slams the guy into the wall. "Hey, what the hell" asks the guy. Crush glares into the guys eyes. The guy goes to punch Crush in the gut, but Crush catches the fist and slams the guy's face into the wall. "Ah, alright! I give up, just let me go damnit" says the guy. Crush let's go, and the guy glares at the girl. "I'll be back for you bitch, just you w-" starts the guy. Crush rolls his eyes and clocks the guy square in the nose, knocking him out. Crush smirks and sticks out his tongue at the guy. "Th-thank you sir. You've saved me, how can I ever-" starts the girl. Crush starts walking away. The girl starts following him. Crush stops, and she stops as well. He turns to her, and she smiles at him. He continues walking, and she still follows. He occasionally looks back to see her still following close behind him. He turns to her and points in the other direction, but she simply smiles and waves at him. He slaps his forehead, and starts walking back the other way, she turns and starts following behind him again. He shakes his head, then starts to think. He has a few flashbacks of how much Red follows Raid, then he shudders, turning to see the girl still following. Meanwhile, Raid lays in bed and stares at the ceiling. He has a flashback of last season, when Appa brings up Anya. The girl from his flashbacks pops up in his head real quick, but disappears. Raid shakes his head. "I can't change the past. The present is what I live in" Raid says to himself. He rolls over in his bed, to see Yu standing there beside his bed, which makes him jump. "What are you doing in here" asks Raid. "I can't sleep" says Yu. "It's still daytime, I'm just trying to take a nap because I'm tired" says Raid. "I'm tired too, but I'm scared. Everything is so new around here" says Yu. Raid sighs. "Fine, you can sleep next to me. I'm probably not going to sleep much anyways, so I'll watch over you" says Raid with a smile. "Why not" ask Yu as she gets in the bed and looks over at Raid. "Thinking about...someone I used to know" says Raid. Yu nods. "Can you tell me the story about it to help me sleep" asks Yu. "It's...not really a bedtime story. I'll tell you some other time" says Raid. "Can you tell me another story then" asks Yu. Raid thinks. "Well, once apon a time, there was a spirit. The spirit was lonely, and didn't have any friends, but one day, the spirit saved another spirit. The two became best friends, but learned a terrible secret soon after. Afterwards, the two spirits decided to become heros, despite the odds. The uses a magic item to take them to another world, and there, they met so many incredible people, including a brave and good little girl, but some bad guys took the little girl. The spirits, and all their new friends fought the bad guys, and saved the little girl, then they all lived happily ever after" says Raid. He looks over to see Yu has fallen asleep. Raid smiles, and looks up at the ceiling. (Flashback) Raid in his shadow form walks, and comes across an unconcious blackwing, who is battered and bruised. Raid helps the blackwing get better, and then, it changes to show the human Raid and Crush (flashback ends). Raid lays back and smiles.

Episode 2: Raid and the princess

Meanwhile, Elora stands battered and bruised, while Alyn is unharmed. "Are you done" ask Alyn. Elora goes to step forward, but stumbles and falls. "You put too much emotion into your blade. Whatever you're seeking power for, you must let it go, if you wish to be stronger" says Alyn. Elora stands up and walks away. "I'm challenging you again tomorrow" she says. Alyn simply stands there and watches her. The girl walks around looking for Crush. After she walks away, be pops out of a trashcan, and runs back to the guild. That night, Raid lays on the roof of the Fairy Tail building and stares at the stars. "I'm really beginning to feel like this is home" says Raid. The next day, Raid walks downstairs, and looks around. "It's a lot more empty in here today" says Raid. "The S classes went out on a quick mission, Crush didn't really say where he was going, and Loyd's helping Alyn train Elora" says Nako. "Oh, well where are Winter and Cotton" asks Raid. "Probably still sleeping" says Nako. Raid sighs, and walks over to the job board. "Hey, this one right here is perfect for today! A single male aged 18-22 needed! It's my time to shine. I mean, I'm alone today, so that makes me a single male" says Raid as he grabs the sheet and rushes out. "Wait! That's not what-and he's gone. Oh well, he'll figure it out" says Nako. Raid takes a longer journey, where his quest is. He finally makes it to town. "You there, who are you" asked an armored man. Raid is really tired and holds out the quest paper. "Ah, your here to see the princess. Right this way sir" says the guy leading Raid into a castle. "Wow, this is fancy, so, what's the job" asks Raid. The guy laughs. "Job"? I like that. You're funny kid" says the guy. Raid shrugs. "Alright, go right through these doors, and gather around with the others" says the guy. The guy walks away. "Others? What's the point of requesting me to be alone if there are others" Raid asks himself. He shrugs and walks through the doors. He's in a giant arena. "This is so huge, I wonder what the job is" says Raid. He walks over and stands with a group of guys. A fat bearded man with grey hair and a crown sits on a massive chair, next to him is a fancy looking girl with green hair, and an unhappy look on her face. "Greetings gentleman! You have been sent from the most elite wizarding guilds from all around. You will now be put into brackets, and the winner will win the grand prize, my daughters hand in marriage" says the man. Raid raises his had. "Uh, can she keep her hand? You kinda need those to do things" says Raid. The guys all look at Raid, and the princess chuckles a little. "Uh, hi" says Raid nervously looking at all the guys. "You there, what is your name" asks the king. Raid looks around, then points to himself. The king nods. "Uh, it's Raid, sir. Um, I have a question, what are we doing exactly" asks Raid. "You dumbass, we're beating the shit out of each other, and the last on standing gets to marry the princess" says one of the guys. "Well, that doesn't seem fair, what if she doesn't want to do this marriage thing" asks Raid. "She has no choice, she is now of age, and I need an heir" says the king. The princess looks unhappy. "Alright, another question, can we do whatever we want after the match" asks Raid. "Yes, she'll be your bride after all" says the king. Raid puts his sunglasses on, and pulls out his dark blasters. "Then I'll make sure I'll win" says Raid. "Heh, try it" says a guy as he swings a sword at Raid. Raid disappears, and reappears across the room. "How did he do that" asks one guy. "He didn't even cast a spell" asks another. "It must be some trick" says a third. The princess looks down at Raid. Raid disappears again, and reappears behind a guy, and blasts him in the back. The guy turns to Raid, but Raid disappears. The guys all start fighting each other, Weapons, fire, ice, lightning, and all sorts of attacks go flying. The more people fall, the more the princess looks for Raid, who hasn't re-appeared. The guy that talked to Raid first walks around. "Alright shit eater, where did you go? I know your still here" says the guy. Raid appears directly in front of the guy, and spin kicks the guy in the gut. "You can thank my buddy back home for that one" says Raid, and the guy falls down and grabs his stomach. One of the guys throws a lightning bolt at Raid, Raid holds out his blaster, which gets hit with the lightning. Then Raid fires a shot, and a black lightning bullet flies out and zaps the lightning mage, taking him down. Raid looks down at his blaster, and fires again, this time it's just a regular shot. "That's another ability I didn't even know I had" says Raid. Afterwards, it comes down to four. Raid, the guy who originally tried to attack him with a sword, a blonde guy, and guy in a fancy mask. "You four left standing, instead of free for alling it, you will compete against each other. Fairy Tails Wizard will face off against Nomads Grips wizard, Raid and the guy with the sword look at each other. Griffens claws wizard will face off against the Scarlet Swallows wizard. The other two look at each other. "First match, Fairy Tail vs-" starts the king. Raid blast the guy in the face, knocking him out. "...A-and we have a winner, Raid. And he will face off against the winner between Jitso of Griffens claws, or Karu of Scarlet Swallows" says the king. Karu waves his finger around, and slashes go in the direction of the waves. Jitso smiles. "I shan't go down with such tricks. Requip magic special move! Brash charge" says Jitso. He propells himself forward. "Don't hurt my beautiful face! I surrender" says Karu. Jitso takes victory. It's down to Raid and Jitso. Fight with everything you have, for the beautiful princess awaits" says the king. "I'm sorry friend, but I'm winning this match, I've been a close friend of the princess for a long time, and there's no way I'd let someone win her like some prize" says Jitso. Raid nods. "Not really sure what this means, but I've got my own plan for the princess" says Raid. Jitso tightens his grip on his sword. "Requip magic special move, sword rush" says Jitso. He burst forward with his sword towards Raid. Raid disappears and reappears behind Jitso. "Requip magic special move, swinging slash" says Jitso. He gets propelled around in a circle, and barely grazes Raid. "Requip magic ultimate move! Thousand slashes" says Jitso. He swings the sword around at incredible speeds, Raid keeps disappearing and appearing until the last slash leaves Jitso drained, then he appears behind Jitso and hold the blaster up to Jitsos head. "I'm...sorry princess" says Jitso tossing down his sword. "Fairy Tails representative Raid, has one. Now, come claim your prize" says the king. Raid smiles. "I free you" says Raid. The princesses eyes widen. "I don't know what marriage is, but I can tell you don't want to do it, so as the winner of the prize, I hereby free you. Do as you wish" says Raid as he starts walking away. Jitso runs up and hugs Raid from behind. "Thank you my friend, I'm in debt for eternity. If you ever need need of me, I will come with lightning speed" says Jitso. "N-no! That just means Jitso wins" says the king. "I'm afraid I refuse your magisty, you see (grabs Raid's hand) I'm into men" says Jitso. The princess smiles. "Thank you, sir Raid, but even had you not relinquished the privlage, I would have gladly married you" says the princess. Raid smiles and walks away. "I didn't really understand any of that, oh well" says Raid. "That man intrigues me, I hope I see him again" says the princess.

Episode 3: Licho, the hideous hero!

The next day, Raid wakes up, and sees Crush continuously look over his shoulder. "Uh...you okay pal" asks Raid. Crush shoots Raid a look. "What? A girl following you? Are you sure you're not just paranoid" asks Raid. Crush narrows his gaze. Raid looks around. "I don't see anyone out of the ordinary. I'm sure you're just anxious being around a lot of people" says Raid. Crush slaps his forehead. "Um...darling, could...could I ask you a favor" asks Red. Raid turns to see Red behind him. "Sure" says Raid. "Please, come with me darling" says Red. She and Raid leave. Winter walks downstairs from her room. Alright, later peeps. I'm going out" says Winter. She walks outside. As she's walking, a man sneaks up, and grabs her from behind. Then, two more walk out from a little away. "Hey gorgeous, we're about to show you a real good time" says one of the guys. "Let go of me, I have a boyfriend" says Winter thrashing around. "Awe, it's okay. We're just going to loosen you up for him is all" says a guy as he rubs her stomach. "Help-" yells Winter. Another guy puts his hand over her mouth. "Bad move. Now your never seeing that boyfriend of yours ag-" starts the guy holding her. A creepy looking pale guy walks out from a dark alley, and punches the guy in the face. "Wh-who the hell are you" asks one of the guys. Without a word, blades rip through the creepy guys guys shirt, and appear on his arms. "Holy shit! Let's beat it" says one of the guys. They all run off. Winter looks at the creepy guy, but he runs. "Wait-" yells Winter. He keeps running, and Winter chases him. She finally catches up to him, after he stops in a different dark alley. He covers his face. "What do you want" asks the guy. "I wanted to thank you. You saved me" says Winter. "...No problem, you can leave now" says the guy. "Why are you covering your face? Did you get hurt in the battle" asks Winter. "No, but you seen how I look. I look like a monster" says the guy. "That's not true at all, I won't sugar coat it, when I first saw you, I thought maybe you were the grim reaper-" starts Winter. "Wow thanks" says the guy sarcastically. "Buuuut, you don't look like a monster. A monster isn't a monster because of how they look. They are a monster because of what they do. Your a hero" says Winter. "Thank I guess, but I'm still hideous" says the guy. "Is the outside really that important to you" asks Winter. "Let's see you try to walk through town like this" says the guy. "Come on, I want to show you something" says Winter. Before the guy can react, she grabs his shoulder and drags him along. Meanwhile, Raid and Red reach a big building, and walk in. "I see your back. I'm sorry to say there has been no recovery at all since your last visit" says a doctor. She leads Raid and Red down a hallway. "Where are we" asks Raid. Red says nothing. The doctor stops, and they are in front of a man in a straight jacket with red hair like Red's. "Sebastian, it's Emila again. I brought my future husband today" says Red. Sebastian starts looking around frantically. "Fire! Fire all around! It's engulfing the walls, the door! Help! Someone, my sisters! Th-they've been burned" yells Sebastian. "Sebastian! It's me, it's Emilia" says Red. "Emilia? No, no, no, no, no! Mako! Mako, he killed you, mother, father! Where am I?! Who are these people" asks Sebastian as he starts thrashing about. Red starts crying on Raid. "We don't know what happened to the poor guy. The Tachworth family refuses to speak about it, he's been here a long time" explains the doctor. "I'm sorry" Raid says as she hugs Red and comforts her. After they walk out, Red wipes away her tears. "I'm sorry darling. I shouldn't have made you come" says Red. "You didn't make me, I chose too, and I'm just glad I was there to help" says Raid. Red smiles a little. "While we're out, I'll treat us to something" says Red grabbing Raid's hand and dragging him along.

Episode 4: My own woman

Winter finally reaches a shop with the guy, who's now got a good up, trying to hide his face. "What are we doing here" asks the guy. "Hey, snow cone, come on out" says Winter. An ice giant comes out in a workers uniform. "What on Earth is that thing" asks the guy a little scared. "It's okay, that's my brother Slope" says Winter. "Winter, it's been a long time" says Slope as he picks her up and gives her the closest thing he can to a hug. "I missed you too big guy" says Winter hugging him back. "What are you doing here? Do you need something from the shop" asks Slope. "Nah, I'm just showing my new friend here something important" says Winter. Slope gets down as far as he can go. "Hello, a pleasure to meet you" says Slope. The guy reluctantly shakes Slopes ginormous finger. "Well, I have to get back to work sis" says Slope as he walks back inside. "Now, what did you learn from that" asks Winter. "That you got the better half of the gene pool" says the guy. Winter gives him a look. "What was I supposed to learn" asks the guy. "You were scared of my brother when you first saw him weren't you" asks Winter. "Of course! He's an ice giant" says the guy. "And yet, he still functions as a member of society, even with people afraid of him, because once they get to know him, he's just a big old softy" says Winter. "What's your point" asks the guy. "The point is, you can do it too. You just have to show the guy you did earlier more often, and it will all work out" says Winter. "I guess. Maybe I'll try it someday" says the guy. "Okay, now that we're friends, can I know your name" asks Winter. "Friends" asks the guy. "Yeah, why not" asks Winter. "It's...Licho, but my mom called me Leech" says the guy. "Well, I have to get heading back to my guild Licho. I'll be back sometime to visit, you'll be skulking around back alleys right" asks Winter. "Yeah" says Licho. "Alright, see you then" says Winter as she waves goodbye. Licho smiles to himself a little, then goes back into a nearby dark alley. When everyone gets back, Crush looks at everyone and peers outside, then sighs. "Still paranoid about the girl pal" asks Raid. Crush looks at Raid. "Okay, okay. No need to be rude, I was just joking" says Raid. Master Warren walks in, "I'm glad to see you all have been getting along, but as guildmaster, I want you to get along with your peers, so I set you up with some quest to take on. These are special though. They are from Fairy Tail members you haven't interacted with much. It's a good bond building exercise, you should try it" says Master Warren. Raid nods. "Alright, I will first thing tomorrow" says Raid. "Excellent. I would have preferred Alyn be part but he and Elora are busy at the moment" say master Warren. Loyd shoots a bullet at a time from his fingers, having Elora slice through them. Alyn watches as they do so. Elora's gaze intensifies. (Flashback) "Oh my God, it's Erza Scarlett's daughter" says a woman. "Hey, cool, we've got Erza Scarlett's daughter on our team, there's no way we could lose" says a boy. "Erza is perfect in everyway" says a guy. (Elora's inner monologue) "I've lived I'm my mother's shadow my whole life. Everything I've ever done, it meant nothing. It was expected of Erza Scarlett's daughter. Whenever I failed, I was a told I was a disappointment to the Scarlett name. I just want to be Elora. I don't hate my mother, but I don't want to be her either. I want to be my own woman, do my own great things, not have everything I do overshadowed by my mother. That's why I need to get stronger. That's why I WILL get stronger". "Alright, that's enough for today" says Alyn. "What? I can keep going" says Elora. "Yes, but he can't" says Alyn who points down to an exhausted Loyd. "I...I'm sorry" says Elora. Loyd gives her a thumbs up. "Who is Erza Scarlett" asks Alyn. "How did you-" starts Elora. "I walked past your room last night, and it sounded as though you talking to yourself, when I listened closer, you were repeating the name over and over again" says Alyn. Elora clenches her sword. "She's...my mother" says Elora. "I see, would she be the reason you're so egar to get stronger" asks Alyn. "I need training, not a game of 20 questions" says Elora as she goes to walk away. Alyn stops her. "You can't keep running from whatever this is, you need to confront it head on" says Alyn. "You don't understand! It's impossible! I'm never going to be at her level! Never! She was unbeatable! Everyone always knows her, but I'm a person too! I'm not just a shadow, I want people to care when I do good, or help me when I fail-" starts Elora. She quickly covers her mouth. "I don't know who you're mother is, and I don't care. You are Elora, that is all you can ever be" says Alyn. Elora loosens up a little bit. "People may not always appreciate what you do, but it's the ones who do who you need to care about. (Elora looks Alyn). Raid, Crush, Lily, Red, Winter, Cotton, and even myself, do you think we fought by your mother's daughter, or Elora? Do you think Loyd is put here helping your mother's daughter train, or Elora? You may not see it, but nobody here sees you as any more or less, that Elora, because anything else would be wrong" says Alyn. Elora starts tearing up, and hugs Alyn. "I've wanted to hear those words my entire life" says Elora. "Now, what do you wish to do? Do you wish to continue training" asks Alyn. Elora nods. "I want to train and surpass Erza Scarlett, but not as her daughter! As Elora Scarlett, proud member of the Fairy Tail guild" says Elora. Loyd claps. "At's touchen it is, never heard nothing like that in m'life" says Loyd. "Oh yeah, sorry to overwork you, but could you help tomorrow as well" asks Elora. "Absatutly" says Loyd. The three walk inside. (Elora's inner monologue) "I've never been this happy before. My heart is floating with joy. Finally my mother is off my mind".

Episode 5: Crush's day

The next day, Crush is approached by Laslow. Crush gives Laslow a look. "You were told by master Warren about the mingling of members right? Well, today it's me and you" says Laslow. Crush nods. "I actually need your help for a very important, and possibly dangerous mission. Would you like to come along" asks Laslow. Crush cracks his knuckles and smiles. "Then follow me" says Laslow. That night, Laslow and Crush are waiting in the bushes outside of a building. Laslow looks at his watch. "They should be asleep by now. We go in, grab what we need, and come out. Try not to wake them, or it could be very bad for us" says Laslow. Crush raises his eyebrow. "You know, this silence thing you do is quite helpful. Maybe I'll bring you along next time" says Laslow. He and Crush shimmy up the wall, and silently enter a window. "Alright, what we're here for should be in the top dresser drawers. You get the one on the left. I'll get the right" whispers Laslow. Crush opens the drawer and looks unhappy. He turns to Laslow and pulls out what's in the drawer. A bunch of panties. Laslow gives a chuckle. "Yes my boy we're here on a panty raid. You can smell them, wear them, the possibilities are endless" says Laslow. Crush shakes his head, then a door flies open. "It's that pervert again" yells a girl. "Oh, it's my savior" says a girl from the back. She pushes past to reveal Crush's stalker. "If you wanted my panties...you could have asked" she says grabbing her underwear, and starts pulling them down. "It's escape time my boy" says Laslow as he drags Crush out a window. Crush looks scared by the drop, but a strong wind appears and prevents them from falling. "A present before I go ladies" says Laslow as he tosses a cube into the window. It explodes and shreds their clothes. They all cover themselves in embarrassment. Crush turns extremely red, but can't make himself look away. Laslow laughs as he and Crush fly away on the wind. The next morning Crush walks downstairs to see Gerard waiting for him. "So, the silent one is in my care today? Well then, although you already know who I am, I will once again introduce myself. I am Gerard Let Korock. I'm Fairy Tails oldest member" says Gerard. Crush raises his eyebrow, and looks over at master Warren. Gerard chuckles. Despite how old he looks, he's actually only in his forties. Still, most of our members aren't very old. Crush raises his eyebrow again. "You sure are a curious one, however I have some questions of my own. What exactly is your magic type? I keep seeing you punch things, but certainly there must be more to you than some punching. I can see it in your coding" says Gerard. Crush looks confused. "Oh, I'm sorry. I tend to think out loud at times. Anyways, I'm supposed to have you do something for me, but I can't think of many things you can help me with...I suppose there is that. Why don't you accompany me somewhere today" asks Gerard. Crush nods. The two walk for a bit, until they reach some water, and Gerard looks over at an island. Crush looks at Gerard. "On that island, lays someone very important to me. Today...is the anniversary of her death. I can't step foot on the island, so I have to visit her from here" says Gerard. Crush looks at Gerard, who looks extremely hurt. Crush looks down. "I'm sorry, I know I'm the one who dragged you out all this way, but could I have a few moments to myself" asks Gerard. Crush nods and puts his hand on Gerard's shoulder, then walks away. "This guild of yours is truely a piece of work Mavis. The people you meet here are terrific, just as you were. If only you could be here to see them now, you'd be so proud. (a frozen tear falls from his face into the water). Well, I suppose I've spent enough time mourning for a year. Until next year" says Gerard. He turns around and walks up to Crush. "Thank you. You know, she would have really enjoyed meeting you" says Gerard. Crush looks up and sees the sun going down. "Well, I suppose we should go back. It's a long walk back" says Gerard. The two walk back. The next morning Crush walks downstairs, and Kitsui is waiting for him. He freezes. "Oh, it's you. Glad I got you out of the bunch" says Kitsui with a wink. Crush starts walking away, but Kitsui walks up and grabs his butt. "Oh no, you aren't getting away that easily handsome. You're coming with me" says Kitsui. Crush looks around. "Sorry, Raids not here today. He's doing this stuff too you know" says Lily. Crush looks disappointed. "Don't worry. I'll be gentle...at first" says Kitsui. She drags Crush out of the guild hall. As they walk along, they come across a girl who looks upset. Crush walks up to the girl, and looks her in the eyes. "Huh, who are you" she asks. "This ball of handsomeness is Crush, and I'm available" says Kitsui with a wink. "Oh, hello" says the girl. "Hey, your that sexy waitress from the maid cafè a little down the ways. What's up" asks Kitsui. "Oh, about that. It's about to go under. We have a payment coming up, and we don't have enough customers to make the payment. We're so close-" she starts. "Then Lucky you. I love that place, and Crush here has to help me for a day. We'll help" says Kitsui. "But how" asks the girl. Kitsui smiles, and Crush stands outside dressed like a girl, and in a maid outfit. He gives Kitsui an angry look. "Damn, your much sexier as a girl. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were an actual chick" says Kitsui, also dressed like a maid. "B-but we can't afford to pay you guys" says the girl. "Don't worry about it. We don't need it. Just happy to help" says Kitsui. "How's this supposed to help" asks another maid. "A little rumor I spread around" says Kitsui with a wink. A crowd of guys come at the door. "She really is gorgeous" says one of the guys looking at Crush. "She's a total 11/10" says another guy. "I hear she doesn't talk, that's so cute" says a third. Crush sudders. "Don't worry gorgeous, they know they aren't allowed to touch the maids. Especially you, that's my job" says Kitsui as she quickly licks Crush's ear. "I...feel so bad for that guy" says the original girl. After a day of waitressing, Kitsui and Crush stand outside, still dressed like maids. The girl runs outside. "We made way more than we needed. Thank you. Thank you both" says the girl. "Don't worry, I already got my payment" says Kitsui winking at Crush. "Uh, yeah. Thank you especially, um Crush (the girl kisses Crush's cheek) you were a big help today" she says. Crush turns red. "You can keep the outfits. They look good on you guys" says the girl. The two go back to the guild, and when everyone sees Crush, they laugh. Raid laughs harder than anyone. "It's a good look for you pal" says Raid. Crush shakes his head and walks upstairs, glad that it's finally over.

Episode 6: Fairy's Finest

Raid wakes up, and walks downstairs. "Where is Crush. He wasn't around this morning" says Raid. "He and Laslow already headed out" says Mushi. "Wait, since when does Crush hang out with Laslow" asks Raid. "Silly, you guys are getting to know the other guild members remember" says Lily. "Oh yeah" says Raid. "And good news, you get me" says Mushi as he walks up and gives Raid a monster hug. "Alright, so what do we do" asks Raid. "Master Warren said for us to ask you favors. I know, why not just hang out with me. I don't get to hang out with friends that much" says Mushi. "Sure" says Raid. Mushi and Raid leave the guild hall, and start walking down the street. "Where are we going" asks Raid. "Someplace that is very special to me" says Mushi. Raid nods. They walk to a beach on the outskirts of town, and Mushi sits pretty close to the water. "This is a lot of sand" says Raid. "Its a beach" says Mushi. "Why is this place so special" asks Raid. Mushi smiles and points to a spot right in front of himself. "This is where Fairy Tail found me" says Mushi. Raid looks confused. "I can't remember my family, my past, or anything. The first memory I have is waking up cold and alone on a bench. Nako found me, and managed to take me back to the guild. I've been a proud member ever since" says Mushi. "Don't you want to find your family" asks Raid. Mushy shakes his head. "I have a new home, and a new family. I'm happy here" says Mushi. "But it must be hard-" starts Raid. "Isn't it for you? Celestial spirits don't have family, but yet you've made a family with us" says Mushi. Raid looks surprised. "I've never really thought of it that way" says Raid. "I'm in no hurt to get my memories back. They are just the past. It's easier to move on to the future this way" says Mushi. Raid smiles. "Thank you for hanging out with me today. Maybe next time we can go to a place special to you" says Mushi. "We already are. Some people call it Fairy Tail, we call it home" says Raid. Mushi smiles and fist bumps Raid. The next day, Raid wakes up, and walks downstairs, where Hiroshi waits. Your late, Crush has beaten you out the door again" says Hiroshi. "Sorry, I'm not a morning person" says Raid. "Well, come on then" says Hiroshi. "O-okay" says Raid as he and Hiroshi walk out the doors into the city. "So, what on the agenda" asks Raid. "I don't need any favors. If I need something, I'll do it myself" says Hiroshi. "O-okay" says Raid. Hiroshi stops in front of a big line of homeless people with bowls. "They however, need more help than anyone. It's simple. Grab the ladle, and poor some chilli for the homeless" says Hiroshi. Raid gives Hiroshi a look, and Hiroshi sighs. "What is it" asks Hiroshi. "Well, why do you want to help these guys, it's nice and all but-" starts Raid. "I'll tell you later. For now, the chilli is getting cold, and I have something I have to do" says Hiroshi. "Thank you so much for the chilli mister" says a homeless little girl. Hiroshi turns away. "Wait, you cooked this" asks Raid. "Got a problem with it" asks Hiroshi. "N-no sir" says Raid. Hiroshi walks away without another word. Raid does as instructed, and serves the chilli. There is just enough for everyone. "Wow, he made the exact right amount" Raid says to himself as he takes a seat, exhausted from the hard days work. Later, Hiroshi comes back. "Welcome back" says Raid. Hiroshi nods. "So, about earlier-" starts Raid. Hiroshi turns away from Raid. "I know what it's like to be in that position. I've been there myself. When I was a kid, my home village was raided and destroyed by a dark guild. I was the soul survivor, and no building stood taller than 2 inches tall" says Hiroshi. Raid looks sympathetic. "I personally watched someone die that day. It was horrible. My family, my friends, my childhood, everything was taken from me in a few short hours. I was homeless after that, angry, alone, and just wanted to do something. Eventually I came to Fairy Tail, and I've made it my mission to make sure nobody else has to go through that, any of it. Even if it's just the part where I was starving on the streets" says Raid. Raid quickly hugs Hiroshi. "I'm so sorry that happened to you-" starts Raid. Hiroshi pulls away. "I'm not looking for a pity party. It's done, and nothing can change that" says Hiroshi. Raid watches sadly as Hiroshi walks away. The next day, Raid is awoken by Nako. "Just five more hours" says Raid as he roles over. Nako whacks Raid with his sword hilt, which makes him shoot up. "Up and at em. You've got work to do today" says Nako. Raid slumps out of bed, as he and Nako leave. When Raid gets outside, he looks up at the sky. "I-Its still night time" says Raid. "No, it's just really early in the morning" says Nako as he leads Raid to an arena. "What is-" starts Raid. "You need to train. I'm going to teach you a new move" says Nako. "New move" asks Raid. "Yes. Aimlessly firing your dark blasters won't help against every enemy. Especially not if you fight another foe like Legion" says Nako. Raid nods. "Then teach me" says Raid. "This is a better version of your shadow blaster. You fire a quick shot of magic, that gets pulled from your mana. However, this can be better. You can pour magic into the blaster willingly to charge it, for more powerful blast" says Nako. "Really" asks Raid. "Yes, keep in mind how much power you put into the blast though. If you pour all your magic into it, you'll most likely die. If the magic depravision doesn't get you, then the blast radius would. Only charge a small bit at a time" says Nako. Raid nods. "Now, channel your mana into your arm, then down your trigger finger, and finally, condense it into the gun" says Nako. Raid takes a deep breath, pulls out his blaster, and does as he was told. When he fires, the kick sends Raid sending back a little. "No that was sloppy. You were pouring mana in. It must flow like a river" says Nako. Raid continues all day long until he lays on the ground exhausted. "That's enough for today. You've made great improvement. Once you master this, seek me out, and I'll teach you more" says Nako. Raid nods, and Nako walks away. Raid struggles up, and goes back to the guild hall. He then walks into the room, and sees Crush walk in a French maids outfit.

Episode 7: Blade from the heart

Alyn stands working at a blacksmith, as he hammers away at a sword. Someone comes up to the counter. Alyn stands, and sees Loyd standing there. "Oh, aye, it's you" says Loyd. "Yeah, what brings you here Loyd" says Alyn. "Oh, I'm just looking round town" says Loyd. "Ah, do you perhaps need something crafted? I can craft you a weapon, as thanks for helping Elora train" says Alyn. "Well shucks'at was not'in. She's a fellow guild mate she is" says Loyd. Alyn chuckles a little. "You know, when we first met you, I really didn't peg you as a loyal guild member type, no offense" says Alyn. "Oh, it ain't no biggy. I ain't nothin special. Done tried to join other guilds I did, but they'idnt want no street rat they didn't" says Loyd. "Yes, some guilds are quite strict with their members I hear" says Alyn. Loyd goes to walk away. "Anyways Loyd, why don't we chat while your here. I don't know much about you at all" says Alyn. "Ain't much to tell there ain't. Just some street rat" says Loyd. "What about your family. I assume you have one" says Alyn. "Oh, theys dead they are. M'mom done joined one of them dark guilds. Got killed in a battle she did. M'pops done passed when I was a kid" said Loyd. "No siblings" asks Alyn. "I don't rightly know. I'idnt live with m'mom. I gots taken by some slavers I did. Raised on the streets m'whole life" says Loyd. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" says Alyn. "Awe shucks, ain't no need for all'at. It wasn't so bad. They taught me magic, gave me 3 square meals a day, and taught me how to survive'ay did" says Loyd. Loyd looks over and sees a fancy blonde woman walking down the street. "Well, I gotta go" says Loyd. "Yes, it was nice talking to you Loyd" says Alyn. Loyd rushes off, and Alyn looks confused. Later that day, Alyn sees Mari walking down the street. "Oh, your Mari correct? I was under the understanding that you didn't get outside much" says Alyn. "Not much, but I leave to eat" she says not looking Alyn in the eyes. "I take it you're on your back to the guild then" asks Alyn. "That's not really your business" says Mari. "I apologise. Would it be okay if I escorted you back-" starts Alyn. "No offense, but I don't need a babysitter. I'm an S class wizard" says Mari as she walks away. Alyn sighs. "Are you alright Alyn" asks a familiar voice. Alyn looks over to see master Warren standing there. "Oh yes, just a hard days work" says Alyn. "I saw Mari giving you a hard time. I'm sorry about that. She hasn't exactly had an easy life" says master Warren. "I'm starting to think that's the case for everyone in Fairy Tail" says Alyn. Master Warren chuckles a little. "True enough. Still,don't hold it against her" says Master Warren. "What DID happen to her" asks Alyn. "Mari came into magic at a much to early age. Because of this, it became dangerous. Her magic makes explosions, and in the hands of a child barely out of diapers is even more dangerous. People became afraid of her, treating her like a monster, even after she controlled her magic, this continued. People would pelt stones at her, and some even made death threats to her. By the age of only 8, Mari felt hated by everyone. She had no friends, and her family wouldn't come anywhere near her. She began a life of isolation. I eventually found her, and took her in as my own, but the damage was already done. Mari sees herself as too much of a monster to get close to anyone, so she sits on the S class floor alone all the time. I've tried everything, but the poor girl is broken" says Master Warren. Alyn looks at master Warren. "There is something you can do. Continue to try. Even if you don't achieve much, I'm sure it helps even the slightest bit to know there is someone who legitimately cares" says Alyn. Master Warren nods. "You're a wise man Alyn. I'm glad your hear to guild the younger members of Fairy Tail" says master Warren. Master Warren leaves. A few hours later, Lily walks up and sees Alyn once again working on the sword. "Wow, that looks really good. Are you crafting yourself a new weapon" asks Lily. "No, my celestial weapons far exceed the potential of this world's materials. This is for Elora, to replace the sword she lost in the battle against the mayor" says Alyn. Lily smiles. "You know, you were kinda scary at first, but I'm glad you're here now. You seem to care about everyone a lot" says Lily. "Of course, as do you" says Alyn. Lily smiles and nods. "Yep. Fairy Tail is my home after all" says Lily. "What about your actual home" asks Alyn. "Well yeah, there's that, but it's got nothing on Fairy Tail you know. It's like, that's a house, but Fairy Tail is home" says Lily. "A good way to view it" says Alyn. "Oh yeah, that reminds me, Alyn, Elora was asking for you" says Alyn. "Ah, tell her I'll swing by after work" says Alyn. "You know, you don't have to work here. You can take guild jobs" says Lily. "Nonsense, the forge is an old friend" says Alyn. "You made friends with the forge" asks Lily. "No, it's an expression. It mainly means I feel at ease when I'm forging" says Alyn. "Oh...hey Alyn...are you and Elora, um...you know-" starts Lily. "No" says Alyn. "Oh, okay" says Lily as she smiles and walks away. "Although, Elora is quite a woman" Alyn says to himself. He eventually goes home, and walks up to Elora. "I have a gift for you" says Alyn. "Oh" asks Elora. Ayln holds out the blade. "Forged by yours truely. It's to replace the one you lost against the mayor" says Alyn. Elora smiles, and grabs the blade. "I shall treasure it forever" says Elora with a bow. "Awe isn't that sweet" asks Laslow in a taunting tone. "Elora's got a boyfriend" says Kitsui also in a taunting tone. "You two should act your age" says Hiroshi. "I think it's sweet" says Mushi. Elora turns red and hurries away. Master Warren laughs. "You'll soon find that there is no privacy when it comes to this family" says Master Warren. Yu sits at the bar sipping some juice. "I miss Raid" says Yu. "Don't worry. He and Crush should be getting home soon" says Warren. Raid and Crush walk into the guild hall. "Congratulations you guys. You've complicated your task. Your free time is once again yours" says Master Warren. Raid and Crush high five. Alyn looks at Raid and Crush and smiles. "I believe I made the right call with those two after all" Alyn says to himself as he walks away.

Episode 8: Fairy Stars

The next day, Alyn, Raid, Crush, Red, Winter, Lily, and Elora meet by the job board. "Oh, looks like there are two urgent quest" says Winter. "Kill or capture witch. Considered to be highly dangerous" Alyn reads. "Explore cave. Reports speak about abandoned cave seemingly becoming inhabited" reads Raid. "Which one do we do" asks Elora. "Why not both, darling and I will-" starts Red. "Not a chance. I'm going with Raid too" says Winter. Crush puts his hand on Raid's shoulder. "Alright, I guess we'll take the cave mission" says Raid. "I suppose that means us 3 are up against this witch" says Alyn. "Well, it's settled then. Stay safe" says Raid offering his hand to Alyn. "What's this" asks Alyn. "I don't know, handshake, maybe a high-five. Not sure exactly what your thing is. Me and Crush prefer the first bump but-" starts Raid. "But why" asks Alyn. "Because we're friends, and it's sort of a good luck jester" says Raid. "Friends" asks Alyn. "Yeah, after all we've been through together, it's kinda hard not to consider you one" says Raid. Alyn nods, and shakes his hand. "I don't believe in luck, but I'll take the jester anyways" says Alyn. Nako walks up. "Those quest are relatively new, but I've taken the liberty of making these" says Nako as he walks up with some papers. Alyn takes one, and Raid takes the other. "These are maps" says Alyn. "Glad to know you already know what they are. They should get you to the location listed" says Nako. Raid stares at the map intensely. "Does something concern you" asks Nako. "Not really….it's just, I still can't read" says Raid rubbing the back of his head. "Don't worry, I know the way, we shouldn't need it" says Winter. The two groups start getting ready for their quest. Raid, Red, and Winter walk down the street, looking for food they can take on their journey. Red grabs Raid's arm. "Darling, you've been so busy here lately, we haven't gotten any quality time. We haven't even kissed yet you know" says Red. Winter grabs his other arm. "It's not like you're the only girlfriend here. I haven't gotten much either" says Winter. Raid sighs. "I'm sorry girls, I guess I'm not a very good boyfriend am I" asks Raid. "Well, we kinda forced you into this-" starts Winter. "And besides darling, your wonderful. You may not be enough for the floozy, but I'll wait for an eternity for you. You're worth it" says Red. "Whatevs. You're the one who started this, don't try to pin it on me" says Winter. Raid stares off. "Are you alright" asks Winter. Raid doesn't seem to notice. "Darling" asks Red. Again nothing. Winter stomps on Raid's foot, he jumps and winces. "Ouch, what was that for" asks Raid. "Sorry, you were just spacing out" says Winter. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking. Yu has actually been really sad I haven't been around lately, but I've been so busy, and on top of that, I realized I haven't been around for you guys either. I wonder how many people are feeling that way" says Raid. The girls look at each other in concern. "You, know, we can afford a delay" says Winter. Raid looks at Winter. "Alyn's group is going to have a longer journey anyways, so we can take an extra day off. You can get the chance to spend time with everyone you need too before we leave" says Winter. "That's actually a very good idea, despite it's source" says Red. "Screw you too" says Winter. Red sticks out her tongue. "Yeah, I guess your right" says Raid. "You can spend the rest of the day after our shopping trip playing with Yu, then tomorrow, you can take us on individual dates" says Red. Raid nods. "Good, then it's settled" says Red. After the shopping trip, the group walk back to the guild hall, and Yu runs up to Raid. "Welcome back" she says hugging his leg. "Hey you, how would you feel about spending the rest of the day with me" asks Raid. Yu looks exited, but the excitement quickly fades. "You probably need sleep for the trip tomorrow" says Yu. "Nope, I'm taking the day to do some things around here tomorrow, so I'm all yours today" says Raid. Yu smiles. "Hey, I've got something to do. I'll see you guys tomorrow" says Winter as she walks away. "And I'll leave you too to your fun. Not too much now, he's mine tomorrow" says Red with a wink. "So, what do you wanna do" asks Raid. "I never did get that food you were going to make" says Yu. Raid chuckles. "That's true, but wouldn't you rather someone with a little more cooking knowledge make you something instead" asks Raid. Yu shakes her head. "You're special, I'd rather eat something you made" says Yu. Raid smiles. "Alrighty then. I might ask Hiroshi to show me a few things so o don't burn down the kitchen, but I'll do my best. Wait here" says Raid. After a bit, Raid walks out of the kitchen, followed by Hiroshi. "Never in my life did I expect someone to screw up boiling water so much, but you've finally made something etible. You should be proud" says Hiroshi. "So what exactly is this" asks Raid looking at the dish. "It's called Macaroni. Kids love it, and with how highly she thinks of you, it's going to make it that much better" says Hiroshi. "Wow. Thanks Hiroshi" says Raid. "Thank yourself. It's your dish, and it's always better when your cooking for someone you care about" says Hiroshi. Raid goes to hug Hiroshi but Hiroshi side steps away. "I don't do hugs, high-fives, or handshakes" says Hiroshi. "How about a fist bump" asks Raid. Hiroshi narrows his gaze. "That's a no right" asks Raid. Hiroshi just walks away. Raid puts the bowl down, and Yu takes a bit and smiles. "It's really good" says Yu. "Eat your fill" says Raid happily. Winter walks down an alley, and stops. "Hey Licho, you here" asks Winter. Licho steps out from behind a trashcan. "You actually came back. I'm actually surprised" says Licho. "I told you we were friends now dope" says Winter. Licho smiles. "Can I get your advice on something" he asks. "Sure, I needed some advice too" says Winter. Licho pulls up 2 boxes, and they both take a seat. "So, what'd you need advice for" asks Winter. "I-I don't know what to do. I'm still afraid to come out of the alleyway…I saw this cute girl and-" starts Licho. "And you want to get to know her, but your afraid she'll reject you" asks Winter. Licho nods. "Unfortunately, it's a possibility, but not why you think. She may have a boyfriend, or interested in someone else, but you need to confront her anyways. Even if she rejects you, you'll know" says Winter. "But what if she's scared of me. I skulk back alleys and look like a monster for crying out loud" says Licho. "If you want, I could go with you. Maybe it will help you feel better" says Winter. "I-I guess. I'm just terrified. Thank you though, I appreciate it" says Licho. "I'm going to go out on a job, and it may take a while, but I promise, as soon as I get back, I'll go with you to see her" says Winter. Licho nods. "So, what did you want to ask" asks Winter. "It's about my boyfriend Raid. I want to do something special for him, but I don't know what to do. I'm not exactly the romantic type" says Winter. "This is going to sound a little clichè, but just be there for him. You don't need to be fancy, just be there when he needs you" says Licho. "I try to be, but Red is always in the way" says Winter. "Who's Red" asks Licho. "That's not important" says Winter. Licho gives Winter a look. She sighs. "It's Raids other girlfriend" says Winter. "Hold on, that scumbag is cheating on you" asks Licho. "No no. We actually agreed to this. Raid didn't want to hurt either of us, so me and Red suggested sharing him. We didn't exactly let him say no. Anyways, it's extremely hard to get a moment in with him with her around. I just want to do something to stand out" says Winter. Licho thinks, and turns a little red. "Well, I have one idea" says Licho. Winter leans in, and Licho whispers something in her ear. Winter turns red. "Yeah, that works, and gives me a little chance for some payback" says Winter. "Glad I could help" says Licho. Winter hugs him and stands up. "I'll be back when my job is done. That's a promise" says Winter as she walks away. After a bit, Raid is walking around with Yu on his shoulders, and Crush, Winter, and Red stand there. "Hey, what's up" asks Raid. "We've come to get you" says Red. "What for" asks Raid. "You'll see, come on" says Winter. Raid walks with them, and sees everyone from Fairy Tail laying in the grass, looking up at the starry sky. "Everyone is here" asks Raid. "Just lay down and look up" says Hiroshi. Raid does as instructed. After a few minutes, Raid looks over. "I don't get it, what am i-" starts Raid. "Hush my boy, the show is about to begin" says Laslow. Raid looks up, and a rain of beautiful lights start flying across the sky. "These lights are called the Fairy stars. They appear once a year. Nobody is quite sure what the lights are, but according to the higher ups, these lights are Fairies, dancing across the night sky" says Master Warren. "They're so pretty" says Yu. "I ain't never seen nothing this amazin before" says Loyd. Crush smiles. "It's so romantic isn't it darling" asks Red. "I've always loved watching these" says Winter. "I...I'm speechless" says Alyn. "I used to watch these with my mother…maybe one of these days I will again" says Elora. "I'm glad we've found so many new members to enjoy this with" says Lily. "Oh oh, I wonder if you could catch one" says Cotton. "You know, were not the only ones watching this. Every member of Fairy Tail, from all branches are watching this somewhere" says Nako. "This is the only time I really like coming outside" says Mari. "It's kinda sad that it's all gone after a few short minutes" says Hiroshi. "Wow, those Fairys are so beautiful" says Mushi. "My boy, it's probably just asteroids, but my what a magnificent sight is is either way" says Laslow. "This really has me turned on, if any of you fellas or ladies are interested" says Kitsui. "I have no idea if Fairies have tails. It's the question on which Mavis established this guild, she wanted more than anything to know the answer to that question. If only she were here to see this, I'm sure she would realize it doesn't matter. Every Fairy has its tale, and yet it makes me happy to know her spirit is able to be part of this" says Gerard. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Raid. "I believe us, every member of Fairy Tail is a Fairy, and when we pass from this world, we join the little march up there. Dancing so the new generations can smile, if only once a year" says Gerard. Raid smiles. "That's a beautiful way to view it" says Raid. The group lay on the ground, and watch the stars fly throughout the sky.

Episode 9: The day before...

The next day, Alyn stands by the door. "Good luck" says Raid. "I told you, I don't believe in luck. I have skill" says Alyn. Raid holds his hand out. Alyn shakes his hand. Elora and Lily walk up with some packs. "We're ready" says Elora. Alyn nods. "See you later, Raid" says Alyn. Raid nods, and the three head out. Raid stands there alone, and Red walks out, dressed in a cute outfit, looking happy. "I'm ready my darling" says Red. "You look great" says Raid. "You say that as though it's not an everyday thing" says Red. "No, that's no….I didn't" starts Raid. Red giggles. "Oh darling, I'm only joking" says Red. She looks Raid over to notice he left his jacket and sunglasses, and combed his hair a slight bit. "Sorry, this is the best I could do for a date outfit" says Raid. "You look fine darling, but if you really want to invest in some new clothes, we can go shopping together sometime" says Red. Raid nods. "Are you ready for our date" asks Red. "Sure am, a lot better than last time. I actually did some research so I'm prepared this time" says Raid. "I'm proud of you darling, if that's the case, where would you like to go" asks Red. Raid smiles, and grabs her hand. "I think I've got the perfect place in mind" says Raid. "Oh, and where's that" asks Red. "It's a surprise, so close your eyes" says Raid. Red smiles, and closes her eyes she gets lead along by Raid, and eventually she's told to open her eyes. When she does, they are standing on a high cliff on the edge of town, looking at a beautiful view of the water, the birds, and the boats. "Oh, this is such a great view" says Red. "Yeah, I read that this is a great spot for couples to relax. I kinda figured we could use it. Just a little rest before we head out. Sorry if it's not-" starts Raid. "It's perfect darling...I used to come here with Sebastian and Mika before everything happened, so this place is actually a very great pick" says Red hugging Raid. "We can go somewhere else if you want" says Raid. "No darling. I'd…Like to stay here for a bit, if you wouldn't mind" says Red. Raid nods. After a few minutes, Red grabs Raid's hand. "You know, from the moment I dreamt of you, I knew you were the one for me. From the moment I saw you, I knew I had to have you, and now, I feel like you and I are meant for eternity. What I mean to say, is I love you darling. In deeply and madly in love with you, and with each day, I gain more and more love" says Red. Raid says nothing for a moment. Red grabs him and kisses him, which surprises him. "I don't expect you to say it back yet. Not until you're ready" says Red. "Thanks" says Raid. "If I may, can I ask you something" asks Red. "Go ahead" says Raid. "I can feel like something is eating at your conscience. I've felt that from the day we met, but I can't figure out what it is" says Red. Raid stares off. "I...I'm just not ready to talk about it yet" says Raid. Red smiles. "I understand darling, and I'll be here, waiting until you are. I'll be here for forever" says Red. Raid has a quick flashback of the girl in his flashbacks saying "I'll be here forever". "Darling?! Are you alright, your crying" says Red. Raid touches his face, and feels tears. "Oh, sorry. I got lost in thought" says Raid. Red hugs Raid. "Whatever this is, we're going to get through it. You just have to believe in yourself (looks at watch) oh dear, we should probably get back, Winter's turn is almost here" says Red. "You go on ahead, I'll be there in a bit" says Raid. Red nods and walks away. Raid closes his eyes, and a flashback of the girl laying in a pool of blood pops up. In the flashback, Raid has a sword run through his shadow body, pinning him to the ground. The girl and he try and link fingers, but neither of them has the strength to reach the other. Raid opens his eyes, and stands up, then he starts walking back to the guild. When he walks in the doors he looks around and sees everyone but Red and Winter. "Where are they" Raid asks himself. Raid walks up to Crush. "Hey pal, where are Red and Winter" asks Raid. Crush points upstairs. "Upstairs somewhere? What are they doing up there" asks Raid. Crush shrugs his shoulders. "Alright, thanks anyways" says Raid. Raid turns and runs upstairs. He walks over to Winter's room, and knocks. "Hey, Winter you ready" asks Raid. No answer. He rushes over to Red's door. "Red? Hey, do you know where Winter is" asks Raid. No answer. Yu walks down the hallway. "Hey, isn't this usually the time you take a nap" asks Raid. "Yeah, but Winter kicked me out of your room" says Yu. "Huh, wonder what she's doing in there" asks Raid. "If I were you, I wouldn't take the kid" says Kitsui. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Raid. Kitsui winks. "I've got a sixth sense for this thing, trust me" says Raid. "Uh...Yu, why don't you take a nap in Alyn's room" asks Raid. "He scares me" says Yu hiding behind Raid's leg. "He's not here right now, your okay" says Raid. "But he keeps sharp things in his room, and a creepy looking doll" says Yu. Raids eyes widen. "She's talking about swords and a training dummy" says Kitsui. "Ah, that makes-wait, how do you know" asks Alyn. "I snuck in to plant a gift, but he caught me" says Kitsui. "What was the- (Kitsui looks him in the eyes) you know what, nevermind" says Raid. "I can take'er. I used t'babysit" says Loyd. "Yeah, you can go hang out with Loyd until I make sure everything is okay" says Raid. Yu nods, and walks downstairs to Loyd. Raid walks up to his door, and flings it open. Winter is cosplaying as a sexy nurse, and Red is tied up in a gimp suit. Raid slams the door closed. "I didn't see that, I didn't see that, I didn't-" starts Raid. Winter opens the door. "Get in here you ass" says Winter, grabbing Raid by the shirt collar, and dragging him into the room. "Help darling. She's gone crazy. She's tied me up and-" starts Red. "I did this for you" says Winter looking Raid in the eyes. "Huh" asks Raid. "I heard that some guys are into girls who cosplay, so I got these costumes from-" starts Winter. "Was it Kitsui? Sixth sense my ass" says Raid. "No. It wasn't Kitsui, it was Laslow" says Winter. "Look, I appreciate this and all, but-" starts Raid. "It's just not fair. (Plops down on bed) I wasn't expecting you. Red's been waiting, dreaming of all the sappy lines, and great things she can do for you. I thought i was gonna be alone forever, so I have no clue what to do, but she keeps pulling ahead, and I feel like you're not gonna want me after a while" says Winter. Red looks a little guilty. "You don't have to worry Winter, i don't know a lot about romance either. I'm not going anywhere. You're both special to me, at first you were both equally special. That would mean you're both the same, but that's not true. Your both just as special to me, but for different reasons" says Raid. Winter smiles a little. "And i appreciate the sentiment with the outfits. I was just a little surprised is all" says Raid. Winter quickly grabs Raid and kisses him. "That's your medicine...Sorry I'm not sure how to be sexy or flirty" says Winter. Raid turns red. "Y-You did great" says Raid. "Well, we still have some time left. Wanna finish our date" asks Winter. "Sure thing" says Raid as he and Winter walk away. "Hey, what about me" asks Red. Raid stops. "Oh yeah, i almost-" starts Raid. "Oh no, this is my time. She'll be fine until we get back" says Winter. "But-" starts Raid. Red smiles at him. "It's okay darling. Go have fun" says Red. A few hours later, Raid and Winter come back, and Red sits at the bar waiting for them. "How did you-" starts Winter. "I prepared just in case my darling had certain taste" says Red winking at Raid. Crush walks up. "Yeah, tomorrow we set out on a new adventure" says Raid. Winter nods, and Red soon after.

Episode 10: Alexandra, Queen of Ice Spear

Alyn and the girls walk on their journey. Lily looks at the map, but looks confused. "I can't understand this thing at all" says Lily. "We're going to (points to a spot on the map) this town" says Elora. "But how are we supposed to know where we are" asks Lily. "Have you never used a map before" asks Elora. Lily shakes her head. Elora takes the map, and holds her hand gently on it. A little dot appears on the map. "You can channel magic into the map to determine your location" says Elora. "Oh, really" asks Elora. "Yes" says Elora. Lily looks at the dot. "Awe, but we're still really far away" says Lily. "We'll get there in time" says Alyn. "We should be careful in this area though" says Elora. "Oh? Why's that" asks Alyn. "Have you heard of the ice queen" asks Elora. "Wasn't that Winter's nickname" asks Alyn. "No, she was the ice princess. The ice queen is a powerful mage, who stays around this area. She fights stronger opponents, and hasn't been defeated yet" says Elora. "Wow, what guild is she with" asks Lily. "None. To hear people say, she will join the guild of the person who defeats her" says Elora. "Wow, maybe we could get her to join Fairy Tail" says Lily. "Unlikely. I've battled her before. She's very skilled. We'd need someone of S class potential at the very least" says Elora. "But I'm an S class" says Lily. "No offense, but your magic is still wild and untamed. She has more than perfect control over her magic" says Elora. "Sounds like a worthy opponent" says Alyn. "Yeah, I'm sure we could take a small detour to find her" says Lily. Elora sighs. "I'm sure I couldn't convince you to avert this course, though I hope we don't run into her. You forget we have no healer" says Elora. They continue on the path for a bit, and find a blonde girl with pig tails and different colored eyes laying on the ground holding her leg. "Are you alright" asks Alyn. "Stay back" says the girl in fear. She looks Alyn in the eyes, and he can't move. "Wh-What is that" asks Elora. "Please, let me go. I'm sorry okay, i don't want to die" says the girl. "It's alright, we're not-" starts Lily. The girl starts dragging herself away, and Alyn is able to move. "Hold, your leg is injured-" starts Alyn. The air grows cold around the group. "B-big sis" says the girl. "Oh no. This is her" says Elora. A woman with long blonde hair walks out. "So, you're the mercenaries who attacked my little sister" asks the woman. "No, were-" starts Lily. "It doesn't really matter what you say. Mya is clearly afraid of you, so you must have done something (a spear appears in her hand). Even if you aren't mercenaries, you might be affiliated" says the girl. "We're just looking to get through Alexandra. It's me, Elora, remember" asks Elora. Alexandra lowers her guard. "Ah, yes. Are you back for a rematch then" asks Alexandra. "No, i shall be your opponent this time" says Alyn. "No, Alyn-" starts Elora. "Very well, you shall have your match, but I can't give you any mercy today. I have to make this quick" says Alexandra. "I wouldn't want it. This fight would be worth nothing if we didn't both give it our all" says Alyn. Lily and Elora go over with Mya. "Mya, no cheating this time. I know you sometimes use that sight of yours to guarantee my victory, but I forbid it" says Alexandra. "But sis-" starts Mya. "This is a test of warriors. The victory worth winning, is the victory you win yourself" says Alexandra. "We'll use some of our medical supplies to tend to her leg" says Elora. "That would be most appreciated" says Alexandra. Alexandra and Alyn face each other. "Requip" says Alyn. Alyn requips a mace. "Requip magic? Quite fitting, saying as though that is my type of magic as well, however I warn you, mine comes with a unique touch" says Alexandra. Alyn nods. "Bring all you have" says Alyn. Alexandra swings her spear, and an ice wave flies at Alyn, shards fly at him, but Alyn remains calm, and swings his mace, shattering all the shards, then he slammed the mace on the ground, diverting the ice away from him. She starts twirling the spear in her hands. A rain of ice flies from it. Alyn holds out his arm. "Requip" says Alyn. A huge shield appears on his arm, blocking all the shards. Alyn goes to move the shield, but it's quickly slammed back into his face as a jab from Alexandra's spear hits it with a powerful impact. "Requip" says Alyn. He quickly move the shield, and a giant lance come out, but Alexandra holds her spear at here side, swinging the Lance's path right past her, then she jabs the spear into the ground, and a ripple of ice freezes Alyn in place, but Alyn requips his mace again, and shatters the ice. "He's totally outmatched" says Mya. "What makes you think that. They seem pretty eventually matched if you ask me" says Elora. "Please, Alexandra has him playing full defense" says Mya. "You've got this Alyn" says Lily. Just then, an attacker goes to hit Alexandra in the back with an arrow, but Alyn quickly rushes up and tackles her. The attack misses, and Alexandra looks at Alyn, and squirms a little. "Hold still, your attacker is still up there" says Alyn. Mya pulls a small black ball from her pocket, and throws it at the guy, which slams him in the chin with extreme force, which knocks him out cold. "Wow, that was so cool" says Lily. Alyn gets up. "Are you ready to continue" asks Alyn. Alexandra shakes her head. "I am defeated. You tackled me and surprised me, and you held me down on the ground, i was helpless. Do with me what you will" says Alexandra. "No sis" says Mya. "We both knew this day would come. A day when a someone would defeat me, and claim any price they wish" says Alexandra. "How about you and your sister-" starts Alyn. "A little greedy aren't you" asks Alexandra. "Yeah you dirty pervert! I'm not part of the deal" says Mya. Alyn looks insulted. "Allow me to finish, i want you to join my guild" says Alyn. "It is done" says Alexandra. "B-but sis-" starts Mya. Alexandra shakes her head. "It's far past time we join a guild to hone our skills, besides, it's a place to sleep, so unless you want to sleep in the boathouse again-" starts Alexandra. "Eww, I hate fish, fine, well join your guild" says Mya. "Good girl. We shall gather our things and head that way" says Alexandra with a bow. Alyn nods. "Whoo hoo" says Lily. "I suppose this wasn't a wasted effort" says Elora. "Oh, by the way, do you know where those mercenaries you mentioned are" asks Alyn. Alexandra shakes her head. "No, they are seemingly gone for now" says Alexandra. "It doesn't matter. We need to finish our mission anyways. As the accepters, it's our job to make sure to get it done quickly and efficiently to boost the reputation of our guild and get more jobs" says Elora. Alyn nods, and the group continue on their journey.

Episode 11: Dusty Trails

The next day, Raid, Crush, Red, and Winter prepare for their journey. They set off, and soon Raid is already exhausted. Crush shoots Raid a look. "Not all of us have inhuman stamina" says Raid. Crush looks at Winter and Red, who are both fine. Raid sighs. "Yeah you're right, but can we please stop for a break" asks Raid. He sits down on a rock, but an arrow flies by his head, and he jumps up. "All rested. Time to go" says Raid as he rushes over to the others. "That's right! Take that you bandit scum" says a voice from a cliff. "Bandit? We're no bandits, we're Fairy Tail guild members" says Raid. "Wait what? Seriously? Ohmygod I'm soooo sorry" says a girl as she pops up from behind a rock on the cliff. She goes to take a step, trips over her own foot, and tumbles down the hill, face planting in front of Raid's feet. "Uh, hello" asks Raid. The girl quickly shoots up, and dust herself off a bit. "Hi, I'm Dusty, well actually dirty, but my name-wait, that's not right, uh let me restart that. My name is Dusty, nice to meet you" she says holding out her hand. Raid takes her hand and she rapidly shakes it. "Glad to know you're not bandits-oh wait! I totally forgot to ask about your guild marks. Darnit Dusty, I knew I forgot something" she says knocking on her own head. Raid slowly lifts his shirt and shows his guild mark. Dusty turns around red. "A boy just showed me his chest, it's so indecent! Oh God! I touched his hand, don't tell me I'm going to get pregnant now! I'm not ready" says Dusty. Raid backs away slowly. "She's odd isn't she" asks Red. "Hey wait, there are bandits in the area" asks Winter. "Oh, yep yep. I'm one of them, well was. I didn't like it, so I left, but now they're all mad and stuff, so I've been hiding a lot" says Dusty. "What did they do" asks Red. "Uh, well they like, beat people up, with hoos, and haas, and whams, oh and they rob people too. Last I knew, they attacked some really powerful mage" says Dusty. "Then we have to go help him! He could be in danger" says Raid. "Uh, actually, she's a she" says Dusty. "Well then her" says Raid. "No, these guys are super strong, and possibly life threatening...plus I wanna go" says Dusty. "Why? Didn't you just say they're dangerous" asks Winter. "Yep yep, but I'm pretty strong myself, plus I really don't want to be around here anymore. Squirrels aren't very nice if you sleep in their tree" says Dusty. "We can't take her with us" says Red. Dusty starts walking around in circles, but trips and face plants again. "She seems harmless enough" says Winter. "That's not the issue, she's a few eggs short of a basket if you know what I mean" says Red. Crush looks at Dusty, who is now rubbing her nose after the fall. He looks at Raid, and Raid sighs. "Alright Dusty, you can come, but be careful" says Raid. "Ha, of course! Thank you so much, and don't worry, I'll be careful. That's my middle name, actually, my middle name is Margaret, but people used to always call me careful...well, actually that was clumsy, but I can be careful" says Dusty. The group walk for a bit, and Dusty stops them by an area with some ice scattered on the ground. "What's that" asks Raid. "I guess it's leftovers from the battle. The mage they engaged was a requip ice mage. She's like really strong, and totally scary. I totally wet myself a little when I met her" says Dusty. "Damn, looks like we're too late" says Winter. Dusty narrows her eyes. "I see something shiny! Ohhh, maybe it's treasure" says Dusty. A firey arrow flies from the direction, and Crush saves Dusty by mere seconds. "Nope. Not treasure" says Dusty. A spell hits the hill they're on, and they fall down on the ground. A group of thug looking guys surrounds them. "Well, hello Dusty" says one of the men who has a beard. "Crap, I totally just peed a little again" says Dusty. "Our little rebel comes back to us, and she brings new prey" says the guy. "No! I'm done with bandit life! I did not get attacked by an army of angry squirrels just to give up now" says Dusty. "Wouldn't you rather come home to us? We'll even make you're favorite, boar stew" says the guy. Dusty's mouth starts watering. "I haven't even in 2 days, and before that, it was a bunch of berries that didn't settle well, oh, and I tried to steal a nut from a squirrel, but it wasn't too happy about that, so we fought over it, but her won, then there was that-" starts Dusty. "Enough! You're either with us, or against us" says the guy as he readies a bow. Crush reaches into his pocket, and pulls out something. Dusty looks at it, it's a role. "It may not be boar stew, but it's still edible" says Winter. "You can go with them if you want. They're like your family aren't they-" starts Raid. Dusty takes the role and eats it quickly. "Ohhhhh! That was so good! It's probably the best tasting thing I've ever eaten, besides boar stew! Do you have anymore? Can I have it" asks Dusty. "Sure, I can cook now so-" starts Raid. "Eeeeeee! I'm soooo happy! Food, foood, foooooood" says Dusty. "How unfortunate. Looks like you die with them" says the guy. The Fairy Tail wizards quickly circle around Dusty, and prepare for battle. One of the bandits holds out his hand. "Look out! He uses-" starts Dusty. A bunch of sand flies from his hand blinding the Fairy Tail wizards. Dusty throws on her goggles. "Alright, time for me to earn that meal" says Dusty. "What are you-" starts Raid. Dusty holds up her hand. "Summoning magic, environment forest! Come out squirrels" says Dusty. "...Squirrels" asks Winter. A circle on the ground and an army of angry squirrels starts attacking the bandits, distracting them. "Don't take your eyes off me for a second, transformation magic! Grizzly" says Dusty. She transforms into a Grizzly bear, and charges at the bandits, swiping them away with incredible strength. The guy from before shoots an arrow at Dusty, but she transforms into a falcon, and dodges it, then becomes Dusty again, and draws back her bow. She fires an arrow at the guy, and the arrow grazes his face. "Ha, you missed" says the guy. "No I didn't, I hit my target" says Dusty. The guy turns around, and the arrow turns into a tree, which it's branch grabs the guy and hoist him up as it grows. The guy flails around. "Ha! Take that" says Dusty confidently. "Wow, she's actually amazing" says Red. An attack flies and slams Dusty into the cliffside, knocking her completely unconcious. "Dusty! No" yells Raid. "You took out my underlings fairly quickly. Color me impressed" says a guy whos arm retracts. "Who are you" asks Raid. "Isn't it obvious? I'm the bad guy" says the guy smugly. Raid clenches his fist. "Oh come now, she hit all my guys, it's only natural I get to hit her back" says the guy. Crush is tending to Dusty, and Raid and Winter both fire off long ranged attacks, but the guy extends his arm (which turns into a black swarm of tentacles) and smacks both the attacks, and them aside. Red looks mad. "You hurt my darling" she says. "So what are you going to do about it" ask the guy. "You hurt my darling" says Red with increased anger. "I heard you the first time-" starts the guy. "YOU HURT MY DARLING" says Red as her entire body flames up. The guy looks really surprised. Red holds out her hand. "Flame goddess blast" she says. A fireball shoots from her hand, and blows the guy clean away. Winter goes to help Raid up, but Red pushes her aside and hugs Raid. "Oh my darling! I'm so glad you're okay. Where does it hurt, I'll make it feel all better" says Red. "What are you, his mom" asks Winter. "Quiet you! You have no clue how to treat a man" says Red. When Dusty comes too, the group gather around her. "You okay" asks Raid. Dusty jumps up, and accidentally headbutts Raid with the force. "Awe man! That totally hurt" says Dusty. Red laughs. "Seems like she's okay to me" says Red. "Well, we should probably get going, we still have a mission to do" says Winter. "Oh yeah, we gotta find that cave" says Raid. "Oooh! A cave? Let me come! I can guild you there, I know the area, plus I want some food, oh and you guys are really nice, and I want to explore the cave, and-" starts Dusty. "Well, she did save us. I don't see why not" says Winter. "Sure, lead the way" says Raid. "Awesome sauce, with boar stew on top, follow me, it's this waaaayy" she says as she tips and face plants. She quickly jumps back up and the group continue.

Episode 12: The girl of darkness

Alyn, Elora, and Lily arrive in a town, and look around. "It seems awfully peaceful here, in spite of this witch" says Alyn. "I suppose we should find the person who sent the request in the first place, and go from there" says Elora. "But where would they be" asks Lily. "It was the mayor who sent the quest. At a guess, I'd say probably in town hall, or possibly at his residence" says Elora. The group walk to town hall, and meet with the mayor. "It's a good thing you're here. That witch is becoming more than we can handle" says the mayor. "Would you mind giving us some details" asks Elora. "That witch just appeared out of nowhere one day, still, we aren't monsters. She was unclothed, hungry, and cold. We did our best to take care of her, but the moment we mentioned magic she went crazy. She started crying, and thrashing about, then IT happened" says the mayor. "What happened" asks Alyn. "Everyone around her started feeling sickly, like they had no energy left. For weeks now, that witch has been holed up in our medical wing. The sick have been treated in the streets, the gravely ill have been treated at our doctors own house. Now that dark mist or Haze, or whatchamacallit is flowing from that area. I don't wish harm to come to her, but I see no other option. She is hurting my town, and it's people. I'm afraid our only move may be to slay her to save the town" says the mayor. "That seems a bit harsh" says Elora. "That haze drains your magic, as well as your life force, and that girl refuses to listen to reason" says the mayor. "We'll see what we can do" says Alyn. They walk out, and see the haze. "What do we do" asks Lily. "Let's not jump straight to death. There may be a way to calm the girl down" says Alyn. They look over, and see two girls walk by. They are avoiding eye contact, and hiding their faces. "That's odd" says Elora. "That it is. You girls see if you can track down those girls. I shall try my hand with our witch" says Alyn. "No Alyn, you can't-" starts Lily. Alyn walks into the haze anyways, and the girls rush after the girls who walked by. Alyn slowly trudged through the haze, until he finds the medical wing. He looks down to see a dead man. He's been completely drained of his life force. He is wearing armor and carrying a sword. He walks in, and sees the haze is pouring out of this girl with purple hair, who back up into a wall and starts crying. "Stay away from me" she yells as she throws a black shirken at Alyn. Alyn dodges the shirken. "I said stay back" the girl yells as she prepares a shirken. Alyn holds up his hand. "That man out there, he came to kill you correct" asks Alyn. The girl says nothing, but doesn't throw the shirken either. She just stands there, wearing almost nothing, shaking like a leaf. "May I ask your name" asks Alyn. The girl says nothing again. "I'm Alyn. The mayor gave me his side of the story, I'd like to know yours" says Alyn. The girl starts crying. "He's a lier! He's a horrible man" says the girl. "I see, what makes you think that" asks Alyn. The girl covers her body, and some bandages fall of her arms to reveal restraining marks on her arms. Alyn clenches his fist a little. "What happened" asks Alyn. The girl shys away, but Alyn walks up to her, and starts feeling woozy. "Listen to me. I'm on your side. I won't let anything hurt you" says Alyn. "You're lying! That's what he said! Right before he...he-" she starts. The haze becomes stronger, but Alyn hugs the girl. "I won't hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. You are a celestial spirit right" asks Alyn. The girl looks surprised. "I'm one too, did you use the mirror to come to this world" asks Alyn. "I don't know. I-I just kinda came here, and I had this strange new body, but then...then he came" says the girl. "Tell me what happened" says Alyn. "At first, he seemed nice, but then he wanted to...touch my body, i told him no, then he...he slapped me and told me if I was in his town, I had to follow his rules (starts crying again) I tried to get away, but he grabbed me, and strapped me to this table. Then, I-I lost control, and everyone got sick. I tried to stop the fog, but ii couldn't, then the guy with the sword came. He called me a bunch of names and said he was gonna kill me, then he...he- starts the girl as she starts sobbing. Alyn grabs the girl tighter. "That monster! I'll…I'll- starts Alyn. He starts losing conciseness. "What's wrong" asks the girl. "I...need you to stop the haze" says Alyn. "I-I can't. I'm not strong enough, I'm-" starts the girl. "You...can stop this...You are strong….just, keep trying...try...until you succeed" says Alyn. The girl closes her eyes. "But I'm scared" she says. "I'm...here...with you…(grabs her hand) I...have friends outside...who will...protect...you" says Alyn. The girl focuses really hard, and the Haze slowly starts disappearing. Once it's gone, the girls run in, and they see the girl and a now unconcious Alyn. The girl starts crying again, but Lily walks over and comforts her. "It's okay. We already know. You're okay now" says Lily. After a bit, Alyn wakes up, and looks angry. "The mayor-" starts Alyn. "Has fled. He's gone now" says Elora. "He deserves to face justice for his crimes" says Alyn angrily. "It may not be the win we wanted, but it's a win all the same. We saved that girl after all" says Elora. "The question is, now what do we do with her? She's a celestial spirit, and judging by her attacks, from the dark side. We can't send her back to that place" says Alyn. "We'll bring her back with us. Master Warren will help us decide" says Elora. Lily walks up to the girl. "Hey, can you come back home with us? Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, promise" says Lily. The girl shyly nods. "Then let us set off" says Elora. The girl sneezes. "We may need to make a detour to buy her some new clothes" says Elora. The group nod, as they start heading off.

Episode 13: The Portal

Raid, Crush, Red, Winter, and Dusty arrive at the cave. "Well, who wants to go first" asks Winter. "Oh, I'll do it" says Dusty as she steps forward. The ground opens up, and Dusty falls down a hole. "Is...she dead" asks Raid. Crush smirks and pushes Raid into the hole, then jumps down himself. Soon after, Winter and Red jump in. They all Crash on the ground. "Ow" says Raid. "Wow! Soo cool, let's get exploring" says Dusty as she goes to rush off. "Wait, there may be-" starts Raid. A trap log comes out, and slams Dusty in the face. "Traps" says Raid as he slaps his forehead. "Got it. I'll be more careful" says Dusty as she jumps up and rubs her nose. The group causiously make their way through the cave, when they come across a girl with ginger hair and black wings, fighting off what seems like an endless wave of monsters. "No way! She can't be a-" starts Raid. "I refuse to let you pass" she says as he kicks one of the monsters into a portal. "What are you doing" asks Raid. "I'm kinda busy, can't talk" she says as she back flips and spin kicks a bunch of monsters. "Hold on, those are black key spirits" says Raid. "Wait, how do you know about-" starts the girl. Her eyes widen. "You're the blackwing and shadow that escaped using the mirror" says the girl. "Yep, that's us" says Raid as he and Crush pose. The girl rolls her eyes. "So, what brings you out here" asks Raid. "Kinda busy, you wanna lend a hand" she asks. "Icy shards" says Winter holding out her hand. Ice spikes impale a lot of monsters, and the girl knocks the rest through the portal. "How do we close it" asks Raid. "We don't-" starts the girl. The portal disappears. "It does that" says the girl. "It closes itself" asks Red. "No, it relocates. It's a celestial portal, so theoretically, a celestial wizard should be able to close it, but at the moment, it's impossible to stop" says the girl. Raid and Crush look at each other in disappointment. "We...were to late pal" says Raid. Crush sadly nods. "You guys came to stop the invasion too, didn't you" asks the girl. "Yeah" says Raid.."Then it's not too late, the main forces are still gathering. However, that doesn't make the situation any less grim. These forces alone would be enough to destroy a city" says the girl. Dusty looks confused. Raid quickly fills her in on everything. "Wow, it's that bad huh" asks Dusty. "Yeah" says Raid. "Hold on, how's come she can talk and not Crush" asks Winter. "Us Blackwings are born unable to do one thing. For me, that's smelling for the other blackwing it's speaking" says the girl. "So wait, what do we call you" asks Red. "Blackwing" says the girl. "No that won't work. How about...Mash" says Raid. "I really don't care" says the girl. "Great, you're Mash from now on" says Raid. "Hey wait, you guys have similar goals right? Why don't you join Fairy Tail" asks Red. "What" asks Mash. "Sure, we can work together to stop-" starts Raid. "No thanks, I don't work well with others" says Mash. Crush looks in her eyes. "He says, trust him" says Raid. "You...understand that" asks Mash. "Sure. Me and Crush are best pals" says Raid. Mash stares at Crush for a moment. "I may not understand that, but I understand that a blackwing has trusted someone, so you must be special. I'll join you" says Mash. "Oh...so, you get to join a guild? It...must be nice" says Dusty. "Oh yeah, being a bandit, you must not have ever joined a guild" says Red. "Wait, are you implying what I think you're implying" asks Winter. "Oh please let me join! I'll do anything, just don't make me go back to sleeping outside" says Dusty. Raid chuckles. "You know, I've actually gotten used to you. The two of you can join together" says Raid. "The three of us actually (whistles, and a small white exceed flies out and lands on Mash's shoulder) This is Silk, she's my friend" says Mash. "Lily's gonna love this" says Winter. The group make their way out of the cave, and everyone walks back to the guild, but Raid and Crush hang back a little from the group. "Are they slow" asks Mash. "No, darling just wants space" says Red. Raid and Crush look at each other. "Those portals are a problem pal" says Raid. Crush nods. "Yeah, but where do we start looking" asks Raid. Crush looks Raid in the eyes. Raid sighs. "You're right pal. They'll find us eventually" says Raid. They make it back, and look around. "No Alyn" asks Raid. "He's not back yet" says Master Warren. "Well, we brought some new members. These are-" starts Raid. Dusty walks in the guild hall, and sees food on the table. "Ohhhh! Jackpot! Come to mama" says Dusty as she starts rushing off. "Hey wait the floor is-" starts Raid. Dusty slips on the wet floor, and face plants. "Slick" says Raid. "Hey, you need'elp up" asks Loyd offering his hand. "AHH! A boys trying to touch me, grandma always warned me this could happen, not this exact scenario, it actually took place in a back alley, and the guy had bigger muscles, but still, hiya" she says as she kicks Loyd in the genitals. Most of the guys cringe at the sight, and Mash face pal.s. Yu hides. "She's weird" says Yu. Dusty stands up. Loyd weakly stands up. "Hey, I'm Loyd I am, nice t'meet ya ma'am" says Loyd. "I'm not ma'am, I'm wet, wait no, that's not it, I'm Dusty, well not literally, im-" starts Dusty. "Dusty, we get it" says Raid. "Oh right, hey Loyd. It's nice to meet you too, and it's really nice to meet the food" says Dusty. "She smells like animal poop" says Yu holding her nose. "Yu, that's not nice-" starts Raid. "Oh, that's because I was trying to scare away predators" says Dusty. "Isn't that pee" asks Hiroshi. "Wait! WHAT?! Awe man" says Dusty. Cotton looks over at Silk, and instantly looks starstruck. "Who is this lovely lady" asks Cotton. "These are new guild members. Dusty, Mash, Silk, this is Cotton" says Raid. "Ah, so we have received new members. That's excellent" says Alexandra. Raid spins around. "Who...are you" asks Raid. "I apologize. My name is Alexandra. This is my little sister Mya (point to Mya). Your friend Alyn sent us here" says Alexandra. Raid smiles. (Raid's inner monologue) "Fairy Tail has really gotten bigger here lately. I wonder what's coming next (has a flashback of the portal). Actually, I know what's coming next. I hope Alyn's okay"
