Season 3

Episode 1: Rune's best day ever

Alyn walks through the door, with the girl holding his hand. "Hello" says Alyn. "Intruder! Get ready bandit! Dusty the great will take you out" says Dusty as she fires an arrow at Alyn. Elora slices the arrow appart with her sword. "Hold on, isn't that the knight guy that Raid mentioned" asks Mash. Dusty pulls up her goggles, and looks Alyn over. "Nah,this guy looks like a total pervert. That girl he's holding hands with can only be about 15 or so" says Dusty. "Pervert? Excuse me-" starts Alyn. "Oh, I know! What's the secret password? Only the real Alyn would know the secret password" says Dusty. "Wouldn't it be easier to ask-" starts Mash. "Nah, I've totally got this, so spill it bub, what's the password" asks Dusty. "There's...a password" asks Lily. "Yep" says Dusty. "Uh...Mavis" asks Alyn. "Ha! There really was no password" says Dusty as she puts her hand on the ground. "Summoning Magic, forest! Squirrels" says Dusty. A bunch of angry squirrels attack Alyn, and Raid walks out with Yu on his shoulders. "Oh hey Alyn, you're back" says Raid. Alyn simply grabs a squirrel, and throws it aside. "Wait! What?! This guy is Alyn?! Huh, I thought your beard would be cooler. Anyways, I'm sorry... wait no, I'm Dusty, but I'm sorry, that's not a nickname, it's just what I am, well what I mean-" starts Dusty. Mash covers Dusty's mouth with her hand. "This is Dusty, I'm Mash, there's a flying white cat named Silk. Introductions done, sorry for the misunderstanding" says Mash. Raid looks at the girl. "Who's she" asks Raid. "She's like us, and she's been through a lot" says Ayln. "Well, you'll need a name. How about Rune" asks Raid. "Raid that's-" starts Alyn. The girl smiles a little. "Rune...sounds cute" she says bashfully. "Well, let's get you settled in here little lady" says Raid. "Raid, I wanna play" says Yu as she leans over his head and looks into his eyes. "Don't worry Raid. I'll handle the girl" says Alyn. "Are we sure he's not a pervert" asks Dusty. Raid chuckles. "You girls will have plenty of time to torment Alyn after he's rested. For now, I think you should join me and Yu for some tea and cookies" says Raid. Yu smiles and hugs Raid. "Oooh cookies?! Count me in, I've always wanted to try sweets" says Dusty. "I didn't sign up for this" says Mash. "Come on Mash, loosen up a bit. Tea can help you relax" says Raid. Mash sighs, and the group walk away. Alyn just stands there. "Are you alright Alyn" asks Lily. "My...beard is cool right" asks Alyn. Elora chuckles. "It's quite handsome" she says. "Yeah, it totally doesn't make you look like a pervert" says Lily. Rune looks around. "Where are we" she asks. "This place is called Fairy Tail" says Alyn. He gives her a tour of the guild, and around town. Afterwards, he goes back to the guild hall, where Alyn is met by Laslow. Laslow glances at Rune, then smiles. "Don't even try-" starts Alyn. Laslow reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a hair pin. "You own little since coming to this world. Take this, and use it how you see fit" says Laslow. Alyn takes the pin and inspects it. "It's not going to explode or anything you know" says Laslow. Alyn hands Rune the pin, and she puts it in her hair. Laslow smiles, and walks away. "That's uncharacteristic of him" says Alyn. Later that day, Alyn and Rune are at a bench, and Hiroshi walks up with some food. "Figured you guys may be hungry. It's been a pretty full day. Have some" says Hiroshi holding it out. "What's going-" starts Alyn. "I don't have time to stand here and hold it all day. I've got things to do" says Hiroshi. Alyn takes the food, and Hiroshi walks away. "That's strange" Alyn says to himself. Alyn and Rune return to the guild hall, where he can't get in. "What's going on" asks Alyn. He sees Gerard looking off into the distance. "May I borrow you for a moment" asks Alyn. Gerard gives his icy smile. "Sure thing" he says. Rune hides behind Alyn. "No need to fear little Fairy (pulls out some candies from his pocket). I usually carry these around for myself, but would you like some" asks Gerard. Rune looks at them, but looks confused. "You eat these, they are really sweet. Careful not to over indulge though" says Gerard. "Enough. I'd like to know what is going on" says Alyn. Gerard smiles. "All in good time" he says. Gerard pulls out a blue candy and hands it to Alyn, then walks away. Alyn and Rune take a stroll around, and eventually Loyd walks up dressed like a Butler. "I've come t'escort y'back home I'ave" says Loyd. Alyn looks confused, but follows Loyd back home, where Crush is outside, dressed like a maid again. "Wow. She's pretty" says Rune. "Yes, but she looks familiar" says Alyn. Crush's eyebrow twitches in frustration. Crush grabs one door handle, and Loyd the other. They open the doors to reveal everyone from Fairy Tail is dressed like maids/butlers. "Welcome home" everyone says at the same time. "What's all this" asks Alyn. "It's a welcome party for Rune. We knew she had it pretty rough, so this is to help her smile" says Raid. "We planned it shortly after you got home" says Nako. "Okay, but why the outfits" asks Alyn. "Those were her idea" says Mash pointing at Kitsui. "I honestly just wanted to see Mr. Handsome crossdress again" says Kitsui winking at Crush. "And we thought it'd be fun" says Winter. "Plus, we totally look adorable" says Dusty. Rune smiles. "Nobody has ever done that before" says Rune. "We also had some gifts. I slaved away at a hot stove all day so you better be grateful" says Hiroshi. "I wasn't sure what to get the girl, so I got a hair pin" says Laslow. Rune looks at the maid outfits. "They're so pretty" says Rune. "Wanna wear one" asks Kitsui. "It'd look great in you" says Lily. Rune's eyes widen, and Kitsui pulls a maid outfit from a box behind her. Rune starts crying of joy and hugs Alyn. "Thank you" she says hugging him. Alyn looks surprised, but hugs her back. After Rune gets Changed, Nako and Hiroshi bring out some food. "Alright! Time to Chow down" says Dusty. The Fairy Tail members all eat, laugh and smile, as Rune starts feeling like this is home.

Episode 2: Love is in the air

The next day Raid wakes up early to see Winter leaving the guild hall. "Hey wait, where are you going" asks Raid. "I have to keep a promise I made. I'll be back later" says Winter. She walks away, leaving Raid there confused. Winter walks into a back alley to see Licho sitting on a box. "You never change do you" asks Winter. Licho jumps. "You scared the crap out of me" says Licho. "Coming from the guy who spends all his time in the shadows, I'll take that as a compliment" says Winter. "You've got a point there" says Licho. "Now, about that promise I made before-" starts Winter. "You actually remembered" says Licho happily. "Of course I did. I'm your friend after all. Now, where is this girl you've been admiring" asks Winter. Licho leads her through alleys and comes to an alley by a produce stall, and a girl buying some fruits. "Ah, we made it. That's her" says Licho. "Wow. How'd you know she'd be here" asks Winter. "She always is at this time. She works at a bakery nearby, and as soon as she gets off, she admires a dress at a store for a bit, then comes here, buys some produce, then finally she goes home" says Licho. "As your friend, I must tell you, that's a little creepy you know all that" says Winter. "I have a lot of free time" says Licho hanging his head in shame. "Maybe...don't mention that you stalk her...like ever" says Winter. "Got it" says Licho. She goes to walk away. "Okay Casanova, let's go" says Winter she and he start walking towards the girl. "Um...excuse me miss-" starts Licho. She turns around quickly, with a jump and a shocked look on her face. Licho looks hurt, and starts feeling judged. Winter nudges his arm, but Licho is too scared to speak. "Ahem, my name is Winter, and this is my friend Licho. Sorry, he's a little shy" says Winter. "Um...hello" she says confused and nervous. "Uh...Hey, I've been watching you (Winter slaps her forehead) I think you're really pretty, and maybe we could...hang out sometime...or something. I'd take you for coffee, but I'm broke" says Licho. "You've...been watching me" asks the girl. "Not to rub it in, but pretty sure that's the worst approach I've ever heard" says Winter. "Sure thing, uh...Licho was it" asks the girl. "Wait what" asks Winter. "Sure we can hang out. It's really sweet that you've been watching me. I've never had an admirer before" she says blushing a little. "Wait, you aren't scared or appalled by my appearance" asks Licho. Winter elbows his side. "I admit, it surprised me at first, but I don't even know you yet, so I can't judge" says the girl. "Awe, young love. Such a beautiful thing" says the lady selling produce. "So...success" asks Winter. "Maybe. I'll judge him after a few dates. He seems like a nice guy, but we'll see afterwards if I should give him a chance" says the girl with a smile. "Well, I suppose I'll leave you guys alone-" starts Winter. "Winter, there you are" says a familiar voice. She turns to see Raid standing there. "Raid" she asks. "Is this him" asks Licho. Winter blushes. "Yeah. That's my Raid" says Winter. Raid rushes up to Winter. "Hey, sorry. I was just concerned. You didn't tell anyone where you were going-" starts Raid. Winter grabs his hand, pulls him in for a hug, and kisses him. Raid eyes widen with the suddenness. "You know, I love you" says Winter. "Uh...thanks" asks Raid in confusion. Winter chuckles. "I've just been dealing with romance all day, and it reminded me of you" says Winter. Raid chuckles a little. Licho stares at Raid for a moment. (Licho's inner monologue) "That guy has darkness written all over him. I wonder what that's about". "Hey, I've got an idea. If things work out between you guys, we could go on a double date sometime" says Winter. "Sure, that'd be great" says the girl. "Who are they exactly" asks Raid. "Oh, this is my friend Licho, and his possible girlfriend...uh...oops, I forgot to ask your name" says Winter nervously. "Oh my. It seems I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aruna. Aruna Moon" says the girl. After some chatting, Raid and Winter start heading back to the guild hall. "I'm glad I have you" says Winter grabbing onto Raid's hand. Raid smiles back.

Episode 3: Loyd's past

Meanwhile, Red checks her mail, and instantly crumbles it up. "What's that for" asks Nako. "It's just an invitation to that stupid nobles ball. Obviously I'm not going" says Red. "I am, want me to bring you back some cupcakes" says Lily. "I'd rather not have anything from there" says Red. Loyd opens up his mail, and does something similar, then walks away. "Hold on, Loyd gets mail" asks Red. "Sure, why wouldn't he" asks Elora. "Because it's Loyd. He's never gotten mail here" says Red. Elora walks over, and uncrumbles a note. "It's an invitation...to a nobles ball" says Elora. "Oh, maybe me and Loyd can go together" says Lily. "Hold on. Loyd belongs to a noble family" asks Red. "That's doubtful. Have you met the guy" asks Mash. "Is there another way he could have gotten an invite" asks Lily. "Not that I know of. I'm pretty sure it's nobles only" says Red. "Maybe it was a wrong delivery" asks Dusty. "Impossible, it has his name on it" says Elora. "This seems like a mystery! Let's go ladies, we've got a past to meddle in" says Dusty. Loyd walks back in the room, and all the girls are staring at him. "Do I'ave somethin on m'face" asks Loyd. Elora holds the invitation out. "Alright, couch it up buster, we know everything! You might as well confess" says Dusty imitating a detective. "But we don't know anything" says Rune shyly. "Awe come on. Now my bluffs totally gonna fail" says Dusty. "Ignore her. We were just curious as to why you would be receiving an invitation to a nobles ball" says Elora. "I ain't goin" says Loyd. "Yes, but how'd you get the invitation in the first place" asks Elora. "Prolly m'ex. I ain't goin though. Y'can throw that away if y'want" says Loyd. "Oh come on Loyd, we can go together! It'll be so fun. There's dancing, and music, and food-" starts Lily. "And snobbiness, and backstabbing, and bribes" says Red. "Hold on, rewind a bit. You, Loyd, the street bum with the weird speech problem, dated a noble" asks Mash. ""Eeyup" says Loyd. "Well, details! Was she nice? Was she pretty? How'd you meet? Do you think she'd be willing to smuggle me some of that party food" asks Dusty. "Sorry, but I ain't goin into none of'at" says Loyd as he walks away again. "Loyd's lived quite the life it seems" says Elora. "You know, I say we track down this woman. It'd be nice to find out more about our guild mate" says Dusty. "And how are we supposed to do that? We have no details, no names, and it's not like Loyd is willing to share" says Mash. "Leave that to me" says Dusty. The girls all shrug. The next day, Dusty burst through the doors. "Hey I got some-" starts Dusty. She trips on her own foot, falls into Elora, and takes them both down onto a table. "Ohhhh. I'm soooo sorry (looks down to see there is stuff on Elora's shirt). Oh no no no no no no no. I've got this" says Dusty. Before Elora can React, Dusty grabs a nearby jar of water, and splashes it on Elora's shirt, making her chest more visible. "My dear, it seems you've grown" says Laslow with a chuckle. Hiroshi turns red. "Could you...not" asks Hiroshi as he covers his face. "Oh man! That's not good, she's going to catch cold if she remains in that wet shirt" says Kitsui in her usual flirty tone. "Oh crap! Don't get sick, here I'll just take it off" says Dusty as she quickly grabs it and pulls it off. Elora quickly covers herself. Dusty rushes off with the shirt. Cotton laughs. "If only Alyn could see this he'd-" starts Cotton. Elora draws her blade with one arm, while covering herself with the other. "Speak one word of this to him and you die" says Elora. Dusty rushes back in with a dry shirt. "Here" says Dusty. Elora whacks Dusty with her scabbard. "I totally deserved that" says Dusty apologetically. Elora puts on the new shirt and sighs. "What was so important" asks Elora. Dusty pulls her in. "I think I found his ex" says Dusty low enough for people not to take notice. "Really, how" asks Elora. Dusty winks. "Being able to transform into a bird comes in handy for scouting" says Dusty. "Great, I'll gather the girls, and we'll formulate a plan" says Elora.

Episode 4: The nobles ball

The girls all gather in Elora's room. "Wow, it's more girly in here than I thought it'd be. There's stuffed animals and everything" says says Red. Elora turns bear red. "Now isn't the time for such things. Now that we know what Loyd's ex girlfriend looks like, we can now locate her and get information" says Elora. "Should we really be prying into Loyd's private business" asks Rune shyly. "Of course we should. It's not like we have anything better to do at the moment" says Dusty. "So spill it Dusty, what does she look like" asks Mash. "She's a blonde, definitely nobility, oh, and she had some big boobies, they were so huge, u was kinda jelious, because mine are-" starts Dusty. "Enough about her chest! Besides, big ones only get in the way when you're fighting! Small ones mean more flexibility, and besides, some guys like them like that" says Mash as she turns red and covers her small chest. "I wouldn't know. I'm not part of the itty bitty titty committee" says Red. "So what? You just used them to seduce that guy you have" says Mash. "I did no such thing. Raid loves-" starts Red. "Guys, don't fight. It doesn't really matter. Its what's in your heart, not chest" says Lily. "Easy for you to say. You're a medium" mumbles Mash. "Enough! Dusty please, is there anything else you can remember" asks Elora. "Uh, yeah! Actually there is. She was wearing this white fur-" starts Dusty. "Was it a wolf" asks Red. "Yeah, I think so" says Dusty. "That's a Wolfe then" says Red. "I thought we already established that" says Mash. "Not that animal. The family. Laura and Malcome Wolfe. They have 4 children. 3 girls and a guy" says Red. "Which one was it" asks Winter. "Well, Nora is already married, and Draya is a red head, so unless Loyd likes men, it's Ada" says Red. "Oh, let's go ask her some questions" says Dusty. "No, you stay here. Red, Mash and I will go ask questions" says Elora. "What about the rest of us" asks Lily. "Distract Loyd" says Elora. The girls walk up and knock on the Wolfe family door. Nora opens the door to reveal tattoos, piercings, and black hair. "Wow Nora...you've changed" says Red. Nora smiles. "Only in appearance" days Nora as the two hug. "Oh, by the way, call me Red" whispers Red. "You got it sister" Nora whispers back. The two pull apart. "So, how have you been Red" asks Nora. "Good, but that's not why I'm here. I think I may have found one of your sisters ex's his name is L-" starts Red. Nora covers Red's mouth and quickly steps outside. "We don't use the L word in earshot of Ada" says Nora. "Why? Did Loyd cheat on her or something" asks Mash. "No...how do I put this...hey Red, remember when we were kids, and Ada would always cling to us, and cry when we were gone" asks Nora. "Yeah" says Red. "Well imagine that, but amplified a lot when she was with Loyd. One day, he just left. Ever since then she's been searching for him. She's a bit on the...wild side" says Nora. "Oh" says Elora. "She managed to track him down to a guild hall, but she wasn't permitted access without membership" says Nora. "That's why Loyd doesn't want to go. She's crazy" says Mash. "Yep. That actually just reminded me, I have to get ready for the ball. I wanted to skip it, but my husband refuses to say no to anything he can show off at" says Nora. She and Red hug again. "I miss you girl, come back and visit sometime" says Nora. The girls walk back to the guildhall, and find Rune and Dusty. "Hey, wait. Where is Lily, and Loyd" asks Mash. "They went to the ball" says Rune. "Lily managed to talk Loyd into it. He's such a sweet guy to go-" starts Dusty. "They what?!?! We have to go save him" says Elora. "How, we can't get tickets without being nobility" says Mash. Red looks at her crumbled up ticket regretfully. "Fine, I'll go, but I'm doing it alone. There are things I have to settle internally" says Red. The girls nod. Red quickly gets changed into a fancy dress, and goes to the ball. When she gets to the door, a man stops her. "Name" asks the guy. "I have a ticket, can I just-" starts Red. "Name" repeats the guy. "...It's...Emilia Tachworth" says Red. "Alright, go on in Ms. Tachworth. It's been a long time" says the guy. Red walks in and looks around. Nobles line up everywhere, she turns back to the guy. "Excuse me, would you happen to know if any of my siblings are here" asks Red. "I'm afraid not ma'am, at least, not that I'm aware of" says the guy. "At least I don't have to see Mako" says Red. "However, your parents are already here. You can swing by and-" starts the guy. "I think I'll pass, thank you" says Red as she starts walking. "Hey Red, looks like you made it" says a familiar voice. She looks over to see Nora dressed in a black dress, with a spider web on the bottom. Red sneaks over. "We've got a major issue" says Red. "What, not a big fan of crowds" asks Nora jokingly. "No, Loyd's here" says Red. "Oh no, so is Ada. Why did he come" asks Nora. "One of my birdbrained friends convinced him to come" says Red. "Alright, I'll have my husband create a distraction while you and me search for Loyd" says Nora. Red nods, and Red walks away looking around. A guy with stylish hair and good looks gets up on the stage. "Is that Nora's husband" Red asks herself. "On now, I'd like to introduce you too-" starts the guy. A neardy ginger guy gets up on the stage. "Hello ladies and gents, I'm Marty Wolfe, my wife is Nora Wolfe, I'd just like to thank-" starts the ginger. "There's no way" says Red as Marty continues to talk in the background. Nora makes her way back to Red. "You settled for him" asks Red. "Hey, I don't poke fun of your love life, besides, he makes me laugh, and he's a really sweet guy. Not to mention a great kisser" says Nora. Red laughs and shakes her head. "What am I going to do with you" asks Red. "Anything you want sweetie" says Nora as they both laugh and start searching. After a while, Red stops dead in her tracks. Nora notices she's staring in fear of her parents, who are distracted by Marty. "It's okay Red. You've got this. Go find your friend. I'll handle your parents...no, I'll handle those monsters" says Nora. The two hug once more, and go their separate ways. After a bit more searching, Red finally finds Loyd and Lily, she goes to walk up to them. "Oh! Loyd my DARLING! You've finally decided to come back to me" says voice from behind. Red turns to see Ada standing there, she charges past Red, and gives Loyd a crushing hug. "I knew you wouldn't ever leave me. I was a bit worried when you left and hadn't come back for 2 years, but seeing you here makes it all go away. I've got you now, and I'm never letting go" says Ada. "Crap, I was too late" says Red. "Uh, Look, Ada-" starts Loyd. "Uh, Loyd...babe...I...uh, have been looking for you...my sweet" Red struggles out. Loyd looks at Red in surprisment. "I...uh, thought I'd...lost you...who's this girl...uh...honey" asks Red with some very poor acting. "Look Red, I appreciate what yer'tryin t'd, but I gots some things that need sayin" says Loyd. Red nod. "Ada, I really do care about y'with all m'heart, but y'can't disown her family over me" says Loyd. "Wait, what's that all about" asks Red. "I don't care about the Wolfe name. Nobility means nothing when compared to love" says Ada. "I wouldn't let y'do it before, and I ain't lettin it happen again" says Loyd. "Hold on, why wouldn't she be able to stay a noble if she dated Loyd" asks Lily. "Because, she's supposed to marry me" says a voice. Everyone turn to see a guy with firey red hair. Red hides her face as he walks by. "Your parents made a deal with the Tachworth family, and I expect it to be upheld" says the guy. "Who are you anyways" asks Lily. "I'm Mako Tachworth. The only child of the Tachworth that wasn't a disgrace or a run away" says Mako. "You know that fortune rightfully belonged to Sebastian Tachworth-" starts Ada. "And it still does, if he can ever overcome his insanity. As for my sisters, Mio is a coward, and not strong enough to hold the burden, and as far as I know, Emilia could be dead" says Mako. "I refuse to marry you. Simple as that" says Ada. "So, your going to be like your sister and leave for some pathetic, worthless-" starts Mako. Marty pulls out a sketchbook, and draws something, and a bucket of slime falls on Mako's head. "Maybe you'll have better luck with the slime, you're similar in so many ways" says Ada as she drags Loyd out. Lily runs up and grabs Red hand, and the two leave. "Now listen here, I done told-" starts Loyd. "And I've told you. I won't take no for an answer. Besides, I wouldn't marry Mako if my very life depended on it" says Ada as she put a ring on her finger. "Is that-" starts Lily. "Yes, Loyd proposed to me, but left right after Mako showed up" says Ada. "Ohhh, I'm so happy for you" says Lily. "Now, you're coming to live with me, you'll never leave my sight again my love" says Ada as she's still holding onto Loyd. "Hang on, I can't do that! I'm part ova guild I am" says Loyd. "Fine then I'm moving in with you. There's no way I'm missing out on even one more second with you" says Ada. "I'm pretty sure they have enough crazy people living in Fairy Tail" says Nora as she walks out with Marty. "I'm not crazy, I'm just loving" says Ada. "Sometimes you just can't tell the difference" says Marty grabbing Nora's hand. "Come on sis, you can come live with me, but you ARE getting a job" says Nora as she starts pulling Ada away. "Wait for me my love! I'll come for you" says Ada as she gets dragged away. "Whatta woman" says Loyd. The group start walking away, all except Red, who stares at Mako, who has walked outside and seen her as well. They stare at each other for a moment before Mako turns around and goes back inside. When Red gets back home, Raid is waiting for her in her room. "Raid i-" starts Red. Raid turns a little red. "You look beautiful" says Raid. Red blushes. "This is the bigger version of my favorite dress as a little girl. I used to love dancing in it" says Red. Raid smiles and offers his hand. "Care to dance, my lady" asks Raid. "Raid I-" starts Red. "I know there isn't any music, and I've never danced before, but I'm willing to try" says Raid. Red smiles, takes his hand, and the two slow dance as Red lays her head down on his chest. "This is the happiest I've ever been. Just being in your arms like this" says Red. The two dance the night away.

Episode 5: The dark key advance squad

The next day, Crush walks up to Raid with a quest in his hand. Raid looks at it. "Hey, it's in that town I went too" says Raid. Crush points to the rewards section. Raid's eyes widen. "That's a lot" says Raid. Crush nods. "Alright pal, let's do this, me and you" says Raid. Crush shakes his head. "What? The others" asks Raid. Crush looks Raid. "Yeah, I guess your right" says Raid. He and Crush walk over to Alyn, and soon inform him of the job. Afterwards, Raid, Crush, Red, Winter, Alyn, Elora, and Lily are ready to go. They head off on their journey. "So, what's this quest exactly" asks Elora. Raid and Crush look at each other and shrug. "You...didn't read the details of the quest" asks Elora. "I can't read letters. All I've learned so far is numbers" says Raid. Crush shrugs. "Why didn't you ask for help" asks Elora. Raid and Crush look at each. Elora sighs and takes the quest from them. "It says that we are supposed to be guarding someone in the town" says Elora. "We're lucky they didn't grab an extremely hard one" says Winter. Raid nervously laughs, and Crush points to Raid. "Hey wait, how did you know it was in the same town" asks Lily. "Nako helped me learn a little. I can read the words reward, and location, and under location, it had the same letters as last time" says Raid. "I shall teach you some more when we get home" says Elora. "Hey back off, he's mine…(glances at Winter) Ours" says Red. "It's not as though I intend to court him, but reading is a valuable skill to have, and he can only do so limitedly. Obviously you two have done little to help either Raid, or Crush read, so I shall do it" says Elora. All of a sudden, Raid and Crush stop dead in their tracks. "What's up" asks Alyn. "This...it's overwhelming dark spirit energy" says Raid. Crush readies his fist as the two look around. "Your probably imagining it" says Elora. Raid and Crush look unsure, and leave with the others. They walk into town, and their faces drop. Countless buildings destroyed, many bodies litter the streets, and high up in the sky is the spirit portal. "Still think we're imagining" asks Raid as he draws his blasters. The group walk up causiously. Suddenly, they hear the sounds of multiple battles. "We have to help" says Raid. "I agree" says Elora. "I'll go to left, Elora and Lily, check out the right. The rest of you search ahead" says Alyn. The groups split up, and Raid Crush, Winter, and Red soon make it onto a maze of buildings. They take a few steps, and Raid falls through some boards, taking him down with a crash. He yells in pain as he hits the ground. "RAID" yells Red. "It's fine...go on without me. I'll try to sneak from behind" says Raid. "Are you hurt? Maybe you should just stay there for now" says Winter. "I'm fine" says Raid convincingly. The others look concerned, but walk away. Raid struggles up, and grabs his leg. He then starts limping away. Meanwhile, Elora and Lily come across a blonde girl in armor, she is continuously slaying monster after monster, protecting a small group of survivors. Elora draws a sword and attacks the monsters as well. "Looks like you could use some assistance" says Elora. "It's most appreciated. I was beginning to think I was going to die here. Rookie knight, Rank 1 of the royal castle guard, Tara Helns reporting" says Tara saluting. "A rank 1 knight managed to slay this many by herself" asks Elora. Tara blushes. "It's...not all that impressive. I still have much to learn" says Tara. "What happened here" asks Elora. "That big hole up there opened without a moment's notice. Monsters began raining from the sky. We had no clue how to fight them, how to evacuate, the monsters destroyed everything within the hour" says Tara. "Why didn't you call for help" asks Lily. "We tried, but there is a barrier errected around the town. It allows people to enter, but nobody to exit" says Tara. "That must have been what Raid was sencing earlier" says Lily. "Are these all the town's people that are left" asks Elora. Tara shakes her head. "I'm not sure, but I'm hopeful there are other survivors. The...the king is dead, but maybe the princess lives" says Tara. "Lily, go look for survivors. If you see any monsters, run. Don't engage. I'll stay here and defend this position with Tara" says Elora. Lily nods and rushes off. Alyn makes it to his spot, and sees a humanish looking duo. The male has a black third arm coming from his back over his shoulder. The girl has blood red eyes and is licking something off her fingers. Alyn tries to be silent and observe them, but the guy turns Alyn's way. "Heh, never would have expected a diamond key in this neck of the woods" says the guy. "Master, I can kill him if you wish" says the girl. Alyn steps forward. "What is your intention here" asks Alyn. "My intention? Who says I have one" says the guy. The girl disappears. Alyn looks around. "Don't even bother. She is completely undetectable" says the guy. Alyn's eyes widen, as he feels a sharp pain in his back. He turns back to see a knife in his back. The girl reappears behind the guy, with some fresh blood on her fingers. "Requip" says Alyn. "Useless, Lilith, do your thing" says the guy. The girl licks the blood off her fingers, and her eyes glow red. Alyn starts charging at the two, but Lilith snaps her fingers, and a blood arrow rips through Alyn's leg, nailing his leg to the ground. "Looks like that hurt. Wanna hand" asks the guy. Without even moving, the black arm becomes a lot bigger, and backhands Alyn into a wall. "Sorry, but you aren't dragging us back to the celestial world. I don't want to go back. Besides, I'm a little busy" says the guy. A monster flies at him, and the hand catches it, and throws it back into the portal. "So, you're defending the town" asks Alyn. The guy takes off his sunglasses, cleans them, and puts them back on. "So what if I am" asks the guy. "Then we can help each other. That is my goal as-" starts Alyn. "No deal. I'm not getting backstabbed and dragged back to eternal darkness and hell" says the guy. "I don't plan on taking you back. In case you haven't realized, I am human too" says Alyn. "Heh, I don't sense a lie. But let's see how much YOU TRUST ME" says the guy. His arm flies right at Alyn, and slams into the wall behind Alyn. Alyn doesn't even flinch, nor break eye contact with the guy. "Guess you're legit" says the guy. "Master, I don't like this one. The only one you'll ever need is me" says Lilith. "Believe it or not, I'm not unbeatable Lilith, if this guy is ensuring our survival, I'd say we'd be dumb to refuse. This is our chance at freedom" says the guy. Alyn nods, and offers his hand out. The guy walks up, and shakes it with his actual hand. The guys eyes turn black for a moment. "You are...a demon then" asks Alyn. "Yeah, and she's a vampire. We black keyed individuals typically have big bad titles like that" says the guy.

Episode 6: Vic, the water rogue

Meanwhile, Raid continues to limp, and eventually comes across the princess from before. She's under a bunch of heavy rubble. Raid struggles, but manages to get it off. He roles her over, and she coughs. "Y-Your alive" says Raid. She weakly opens her eyes. "My...father, the castle, the people...all gone" she says as she starts crying. Raid looks away, but looks back and offers his hand. "Just...leave me. I don't want to go on. Not while everyone else around me has died" she says as she starts crying. Raid sighs, and grabs her arm, then throws it over his shoulder. "What are you...hey, I know you. Your the Fairy Tail wizard" she says. "Yep, and I'm not letting you die princess. Not when there are so many reasons not to die" says Raid. "There's nothing (the two start limp walking together. Mainly Raid carrying her). Everyone is dead" she says. "That's not true. Your still alive, and I can feel several people around here that are still well and alive. We can get through this" says Raid. The princess looks unconvinced, but they continue. Red, Crush, and Winter make it to the center of town, and see some dead knights. "Looks like we were too late to save them" says Red. "These are fresh. Their killers are probably still near" says Winter. Crush nods. "Let's split up and see if we can find anyone" says Red. Everyone nods in agreement, and go their separate ways. Raid and the princess continue to limp their way through the destroyed town. "Why are you trying so hard to help me" ask the princess. "Officially, it's a Fairy Tail wizards duty to save everyone he can, but I also personally don't want you to die. I just refuse to allow it" says Raid. He gently let's her down on some rubble so they can rest. "Your name...It was...Roy right" asks the girl. "No. My name is Raid" says Raid. *Oh sorry. It's just, that seems like such a bizarre name" says the Princess. Raid looks a little embarrassed. "My name is Cecilia" says the princess. Raid smiles at her. "You know, I can't help but think back to that day of the tournament. Back when my only problem was I didn't want to get married. I just wanted to enjoy my life, but now I may never get the chance-" starts Cecilia. Raid grabs Cecilia's hands and looks her in they eyes. "I promise you, you'll get the chance. You'll be able to enjoy life, marry who you want, do whatever you want to do. As long as I can still stand, then you're making it out of her even if I have to drag you" says Raid. Cecelia blushes. Meanwhile, Crush walks along, and comes across something shining on the ground. He picks it up, and he's surprised to find a badly hurt girl with wings, no taller than 5 inches. Crush gently puts her in his chest pocket, but looks around. He hears a low menacing growl. A pack of demonic wolfs jumps out from behind some rubble. Crush narrows his eyes at them, and cracks his knuckles. Winter causiously walks, until she comes across some hushed crying. She looks around until she finds a group of kids hiding in some rubble, the crying is coming from a little girl who's leg was impaled by a metal bar, and a boy covers her mouth to keep her hushed. "This isn't good. If we try and move her, it's not going to end well" says Winter. "There's a way you can move the girl, where she won't bleed out, or risk the wound getting infected" says a voice. Winter turns to see a confident looking man with black hair (and a small bit of white in the front). Under his eye is a tattoo, showing he's been to prison before. "You use ice magic to freeze her leg. If you take it off, the ice will prevent bleeding, and she'll get out of here-" starts the guy. "With no leg" says Winter. "That wound is probably already infected, and who knows how long these kids have been here. Unless you have a healer on hand, this is the only way to save her life" says the guy. Winter looks at the girl with a sad face. The guy walks up to the girl. "Hey, you're gonna be okay. This lady here is going to get you all out of here. (Pulls out a small bag, and pulls out a powder). Now, I need you to rest little lady" says the guy as he blows the powder in her face. The girl falls asleep. "She's not gonna wake up for anything for at least 4 hours" says the guy as he stands up. Winter prepares an ice shard. "Sleep powder is illegal, unless used by a licensed carrier, and that tattoo on your face leads me to believe you aren't one" says Winter. "Nope, not even before. I made it myself" says the guy. Winter throws the shard at him, but the guy dodges. "Hey now, let's not be hasty" says the guy. "You're a criminal" says Winter. "I prefer "handsome rouge with a knack for trouble", but you can call me-" starts the guy. A giant spider starts approaching the group. The guy cracks his knuckles, and roles his neck. "Guess I'm in spider duty. You take care of those kids" says the guy. Winter goes to say something, but the guy rushes off too fight the spider. Winter looks at the unconcious little girl. "I have to try and save her, without costing her her leg" Winter mutters to herself. Winter gently pulls her off the spike, and ices over the wound. "Come on kids. Follow me" says Winter. "What about that guy" asks a little boy pointing over to the guy. "He's gonna be fine. I'm coming back for him after I get you to safety" says Winter. She rushes the kids away. Red looks around, and hears a voice. "Excuse me, I-I don't suppose you could spare some time to get this rubble off of me could you. I appear to be...well, stuck" says a voice from under the rubble. Red starts pulling away some rubble, until the face of a man with a broken pair of glasses can be seen, as well as a girl covered in fur with the mouth, ears, tail and nose of a wolf. Red quickly pulls the man out, and holds out her hand towards the girl. "Careful sir, she's a black key" says Red. "N-N-No. She isn't, well she is, but not one of the rampent ones. This is my wife" says the guy as he adjust his glasses and the glass falls out of one side. "I-I can't move honey. If I try, this rubble will collapse around me and crush me" says the woman. "Well carefully move it so you can move" says Red as she and the guy move the rubble carefully. Eventually, the woman is able to rush over and hug her husband. Red smiles. "I'm a little surprised. Most people judge us after knowing she's a black key, or even just not human" says the guy. "My darling is also a black key. I will escort you both back-" starts Red. A skinny humaniod monster with blades all over it's body walks out. "Run away. I'll distract this thing" says Red. "No way we can just leave you. Time to pull out, the mega special super tastic Garrett gadget 6000" says the guy as he pulls out a weird futuristic gun. "Garrett is an expert inventor, though most people consider him to be crazy. I'm Jasmine by the way" says the woman holding out her hand. Red shakes it. "Alright, time to test this thing" says Garrett. He fires it, but when it hits a blade it bounces back and smacks his face, knocking him to the ground. "Are you alright dear" asks Jasmine. "Works pretty good. It really hurt" says Garrett. Meanwhile Alyn, the demon, and Lilith walk down a rubble filled path, when suddenly, the demon stops everyone from walking. "He's nearby Lilith" says the demon. "Who" asks Alyn. "Most celestial spirits don't have names, so that's a difficult question to answer. The only way I can put it, is this guy is extremely powerful. At the moment, he's been stationary, but I guarantee if he mobilizes, your little rescue party would be over real quick" says the demon. "What do you intend to do master" asks Lilith. "Easy. I'm gonna fight him. With any luck, I can hold him off long enough for you to escape" says the demon. "You say that as if you have no chance" says Alyn. "Absolutely not master! If anyone is getting out of here, it's going to be me" says Lilith. "You seem to forget your place Lilith, that's not really your decision. Besides, I'm stronger than you, so I stand a better chance" says the demon. Lilith trembles as she is fighting back tears. "Make sure she gets out safely big guy" says the demon as he starts walking away. "M'lady we must-" starts Alyn as he offers his hand. Lilith smacks it away. "I-I don't need your help" says Lilith. A while later, Winter reaches the area with Elora and Tara, who are surrounded by dark key corpses. "Keep these kids safe. I have to go" says Winter. "What's the rush" asks Tara. "I have to go back and save some guy. Take care of the girl with ice on her leg. She's injured badly" says Winter as she rushes back out. When she gets back, the guy from before sits ontop of the still alive giant spider. "Hey, if it isn't frosty keeping her word and coming back" says the guy. "How did you-" starts Winter. "Scruffy right? Turns out this big thing is just misunderstood, watch this. Down scruffy" says the guy. The giant spider shirks down, and climbs up the guys leg onto his shoulder. Winter shudders. "What? Not a big fan of spiders" asks the guy. "No. They're icky, crawley, and creepy" says Winter. "Awe, big strong lady afraid of a little spider" asks the guy tauntingly. "You, I'm starting to think maybe I should freeze you, just to make sure your not-" starts Winter. A giant snake rounds the corner. "That's new" says the guy. Winter freezes in fear. "Uh, we might want to run frosty" says the guy. Winter can't move. The snake goes right for her, but right when the snake goes to eat her, a fist made of water sprouts from the ground, punching it in the jaw, and sending the snake flying back. Winter turns to the guy. "That was a close on frosty. Maybe you just want to leave this one to me" says the guy. Winter nods. "Watch Scruffy for me" says the guy as he holds out his arm, and Scruffy makes its way down and jumps over onto Winter's shoulder. Winter makes a face of disgust, and shudders. "Alright snake, you're about to find out why I earned the nickname the water rouge" says the guy. The snake gets up and looks angry. "Hey frosty, if I don't make it, just make sure Scruffy is taken care of. Oh, names Vic by the way" says the guy. Winter nods, but shudders as Scruffy moved on her shoulder. The snake charges at Vic with incredible speed, but Vic uses a powerful water blast to move himself out of harm's way at the last minute, then he jumps up, and holds up a ball of water, which starts shooting water needles at the snake. The snake wails in pain, and quickly spins around and chomps down on Vic. "NO" yells Winter. "Water doubles come in handy sometimes you know" says Vic from behind Winter. She jumps and turns to him. "Wait, when did you-" asks Winter. Vic smiles. "Awe, were you worried about me frosty" asks Vic. "No, I just didn't want to have to take care of this disgusting creature on my shoulder" says Winter. "Ouch, roasted us both Scruffy. She's good" says Vic. He walks out and holds out his hand. "Water impact" says Vic. A giant drill of water appears in the sky, and slams down onto the snake, cutting it in half, but the snake just regrows it's lower half. The snakes charged at him again. "You know, that's really annoying, unique move, blinding blast" says Vic. He shoots a quick water blast into the snakes eyes, filled with powder. "Are you seriously using another illegal powder" asks Winter. "What can I say, I'm a rouge, it's kinda my thing" says Vic. The snakes flails around a bunch. "Time for this snakes to die! Water spear" says Vic as a giant line of water rips through the snakes throat into its head. "That's too bad. I like snakes" says Vic. "You're weird" says Winter. "Nah, your just a chicken when it comes to nature" says Vic. "N-No I'm not" says Winter. "I distinctly remember you being terrified of that snake, oh and Scruffy" says Vic. Winter glances over at Scruffy and shudders. Scruffy jumps over to Vic's shoulder again. "Well, suppose we should get you back to a safe area frosty" says Vic. "My name isn't frosty, it's Winter" says Winter. "Yeah, but I've gotten used to frosty" says Vic as he starts walking away. "I really hate this guy. (Winter thinks about Raid for a moment). Wherever you are, I hope you're okay" says Winter.

Episode 7: Gates of Barrier and Piercing

Meanwhile, Raid and Cecilia are walking, and Raid hears the sounds of battle up ahead. He gently places Cecilia on some more rubble, and holds his blaster for a while. "What are you doing" asks Cecilia. "I have to go investigate that noise. There may be more people that need our help, so I'm charging up my blaster so-" starts Raid. "You have no need. I'm a celestial wizard" says Cecilia. Raid places the blaster beside her. "Just in case" says Raid. He limps his way away, and comes across Spear and Shield, both fighting, but they both look weak. Raid pulls out his other blaster, and shoots as many enemies as he can. Shield drops to the ground weakly. "Are you guys alright? I know it's been a while but-" starts Raid. "Status, dying. Energy levels dropping" says Spear. "Why? Did you guys get hit" asks Raid. "Don't be obsured. My barriers are better than that, but we can't survive without celestial energy, which we can only get from celestial wizards" says Shield. "Master Legion used tanks to sustain our bodies, however, due to long time exposure to outside forces, critical failure is happening all over the body" says Spear. "I wish there was something I-wait! That's it! Come in, follow me" says Raid as he walks up and grabs Shield's arm and starts carrying her. "P-put me down you idiot. It's too late" says Shield. "Sorry, not gonna happen" says Raid. They reach Cecilia. "Quickly, Cecilia, you need to make a contract with them" says Raid. "Hold one, what-" asks Cecelia. "There's no time. They'll die if you don't" says Raid. "Uh, alrighty then, what are their names" asks Cecilia. "Shield and Spear" says Raid. "Where are their keys" asks Cecilia. Spear weakly hands Raid the two black keys. "But, Raid, these are bl-" starts Cecilia. "I-I know that, but I need you to trust me on this, please Cecilia" says Raid with pleading eyes. Cecelia nods and takes the keys. "By the power of the contract, I invoke, whenever I have need, you shall answer my call, form this contract with me, master and servant, human and spirit, we form together to form a mighty time. Now, Shield, Spear. Answer my head and enter my contract" says Cecilia. A light glows, and Shield and Spear disappear. "D-did it work" asks Raid. "Let's see. OPEN, GATE OF THE BARRIER, AND GATE OF PIERCING" says Cecilia. The girls appear back in full health, now dressed differently. Shield is wearing a fancy and frilly red dress, and spear wears a white shirt, a brown jacket, and jeans. On spears back is a giant spear. Raid makes a sigh of relief. The girls go to speak, but Cecilia closes their gates and they disappear. "Okay, can I get an explanation now" asks Cecilia. Raid tells Cecilia the tale about the events leading up to this moment. "So...that's all of it" asks Cecilia. "Yeah" says Raid. Cecilia grabs Raid's hand. "You know, you really are a really good guy. I've never met anyone like you. I think...I think when this is over, if we survive, I...I think I want to stop being the princess. I want to enjoy my life, join a guild, and most importantly, I think I want to go out with the boy I've fallen in love with. The boy who saved me from being forced into a marriage I didn't want, the boy who saved my life, the boy who made sure he saved the lives of 2 people he'd barely met" says Cecilia. "Wow. He sounds like a great guy. Maybe I should meet him someday" says Raid. Cecilia grabs Raid and kisses him. "It's you idiot" says Cecilia. "O-oh, well there's something you should know-" starts Raid. "It's alright, whatever it is, I can handle it. Let's save it for whenever we make it out of here" says Cecilia. "But it's actually kind of-" starts Raid. Cecilia grabs him and kissed him again. "I'm gonna do that everytime you say something about it Mr. You are the reason I'm alive right now, and nothing will change the fact I've come to care about you" says Cecilia. Raid sighs, and they continue on.

Episode 8: Dark Fairies, first encounter

Meanwhile, Crush lays on the ground covered in scratches and bites, staring at the sky, surrounded by his former enemies corpses. The little winged person from before slowly climes out of Crush's pocket. "I...thought I was going to die" she says. Crush looks at her, and looks back up at the sky. "You're the one who saved me right" asks the little person. Crush gives her a thumbs up. "Are you alright" asks the person. Crush gives her another thumbs up. "You're not a big talker are you" asks the girl. Crush shakes his head. "Well, I'm Rela, nice to meet you mister...thumbs up man" says the girl. Crush glances at her. "Hey, it's not like I know what your name is" says Rela. Crush thinks for a moment, and grabs a rock. "Rock" asks the girl. Crush shakes his head, and crushes the rock. "Pebbles? (Crush shakes his head) Powder? Break? Smash? (Crush keeps shaking his head). Uh...Crush-(Crush nods his head) Okay, so your name is Crush. Well, thank you for rescuing me and not stepping on me by accident" says Rela. Crush smiles at her. "Oh, but you're in terrible shape. Let's find you a healer" says Rela as she flies over, grabs his finger, and tries pulling him. Crush strands up on his own, but quickly his eyes narrow. "Hey what's going o-ep" says Rela as Crush puts her back in his pocket. "Well, you should have stayed down punk. I'm Eno, also known as the beastmaster" says a guy in a hat with a scar on his face as he walks out from behind a rock. Crush cracks his knuckles. "You're one of us Blackwing. Like it or not, might as well join the winning side, I mean, look at everything we've done here! Just like back home isn't it? Despair, fear, death, only here you aren't a slave to the rules" says Eno. Rela looks up at Crush with concern from his pocket, but Crush doesn't falter at all. "Oh I get it now. You're the slave of that escaped shadow" says Eno. Crush looks mad at that comment. "What? It's true isn't it? What lie has he told you to keep control? That you're his "friend"? Ha! I bet he always tells you what to do" says Eno. The anger is practically oozing off of Crush by this point. Meanwhile, Red, Jasmine, and Garrett stand ready for battle, as the humanoid gets closer. "You two better back up for this" says Red. The two back up. "Flame goddess, bla-" starts Red. One of the blades grows out of the humaniod and stabs Red in the stomach, she screams in pain. "Mist" says Jasmine as she holds out her hand and a purple mist rises around shrouding everyone. Jasmine hurries up and grabs Red. Garrett searches his pockets, and pulls out a small ball. "What is that one dear" asks Jasmine. "This will explode, causing a white gunk to get all over, and make something stick, I'm hoping I can get it under his foot so we can escape" says Garrett. "That's my Garrett for you" says Jasmine. The ball slips from Garrett's hand, and explodes, covering the group in the gunk. "And so is that" says Jasmine. "Don't worry my love. I still have to more" says Garrett as he reaches in and pulls out another small ball. He tries to throw it, bit it's stuck to his fingers due to the gunk. "Allow me to try honey" says Jasmine as she reaches into his pocket, winks at him, and throws the ball. It explodes and traps the humanoid. Jasmine looks at herself and sighs. "This is going to take forever to get out of my fur" says Jasmine disappointedly. Red holds out her arm. "Flame goddess fireball" says Red. A giant fireball flies from her fingers and turns the humaniod into ashes. "Would you mind helping me? I can get you guys go safety" says Red. "Sounds like a great plan, but we've got a small problem" says Jasmine. "What's that" asks Red. Jasmine tried moving her feet, but she's stuck to the ground, due to the gunk. "Don't worry, I've got this. I've got my healing inventions to tend to your wounds, and this (pulls out a vial of a clear liquid) this will cause the gunk to melt" says Garrett. "Isn't that just water" asks Red. "Yes, Garrett has a tendency to make mistakes a lot, so he makes the solutions as simple as possible" says Jasmine. "How long will this take" asks Red. "A mere few hours" says Garrett. "Hours? I can't wait that long? My darling may need me" says Red. "I'm sorry, but you can't rush science" says Garrett. Red tries to move, but realizes she's stuck too Jasmine. Red tries to push herself away, but proceeds to get her hand stuck to Jasmine's breast. Jasmine makes a little noise. "Just...try and relax Red. Garrett will do what he can" says Jasmine. Alyn walks alongside Lilith in total silence. Finally Alyn stops. "Do you want to-" starts Alyn. "No, I don't. Master was the only person I've ever cared about, and now he's...well, it doesn't matter now" says Lilith. Alyn goes to say something, but Lilith disappears. "Lilith, where did you go" asks Alyn. Alyn walks a small bit, and eventually comes across a small girl. Alyn walks up to the small girl. "Are you alright" asks Alyn. "Yes, I'm awight" she says. Alyn looks surprised. "Why do I awways get that wook? Haven't you evew heawd of a speech pwobwem befowe" she asks. "I-" starts Alyn. Before he can finish, the girl pushes him out of the way, and forms a shield with her arm, protecting Alyn from what could have been a fatal shot from the back. "It's vewy wude to cut of someone while they're talking" says the girl. "You...just saved my life" says Alyn. "Yes I did, even dispute yowr wude behaviow" says the girl. "I won't let you take my prey. I'm here to take the head of a diamond key, and I WILL collect" says the guy. "Master cwub weiwder, you might want to wun. I've got this" starts the girl. Alyn shakes his head. "This is my battle. You must go" says Alyn. "You can't handwe this. Don't worry, I'm stwonger then I seem" says the girl. Her shield arm surrounds her, making her completely made of medal. "This wittle gadget awows me to be indeswuctabwe" says the girl. "You got kids fighting your battles now" asks the guy. "How wude! I'm 20 yeaws owd" says the girl. Alyn walks up. "We'll fight together" says Alyn. "Awight master cwub weiwder. Just be suwe to be awawe or your suwwoundings" says the girl. "Fine, you and that annoying brat can die together" says the guy. Lily walks around, and moves some rubble to find some people trapped underneath. "I could have gotten that, still I suppose I should thank you for the help" says a muscular teen. One of the teens, with a missing front tooth jumps up on a rock on all fours, and licks it. "Ew! You're nasty Conny" says a girl with her blonde hair in a side ponytail. "Oi, I don't think we're alone here. We've got (puts ear on rock) at least 4, no 5 medium sized enemies coming" says Conny. The muscular guy grabs Conny, and pulls her down. "Jeez, what are you even doing" asks the guy. "Tracking mate" she says happily. The guy sighs. "That's creepy Conny for you" says a guy with a lot of piercings and blonde hair. "Who are you guys" asks Lily. "We're-" starts Conny. The blonde girl covers her mouth. "Quite Conny, she could totes be an enemy" she says. "Illogical. If she were an enemy, she mearly would have left us under the debris to suffocate, or be compressed by the rock" says one with glasses. "Aye, I'm da team leada! You wanna hurt us, yous gots ta get through me" says a brown haired team with red eyes. The muscular guy whacks him on the head. "Hey, I'm Ace, the rock licker is my half sister Conny. The smart guy is Mal, the blonde girl is Jenny, the guy with piercings is Burk, and the mouthy one with red eyes is, 1 not the leader, and 2 his name is Hale. Thanks for the save" says the muscular guy. "I'm Lily" says Lily. Conny sniffs the air. "They're here" says Conny. Five demon dogs jump out, and start charging them. Mal holds his hand out. "Inscription magic, barrier" says Mal as he writes barrier in the air and one appears. "Alright, time to party everyone! Support magic, strength" says Jenny. Everyone feels a rush of strength. Conny winks, and stomps her foot. The ground starts shaking. Burk does a backflip, and throws some metal spikes from his sleeve, which nail the demon dogs to the ground. Ace cracks his knuckles, and grabs a demon dog, then proceedes to throw it far into the air. "Oh yeah, my time ta shine! Red deathtrap" says Hale as he places his hand on the ground, and a bunch of red needles sprout from the ground, impaling the demon dog, and the ones on the ground. "Wow, that's amazing" says Lily. Burk scoffs. "Yeah right. Not enough" says Burk. "Burk, don't be like that" starts Jenny. Burk scoffs. "Don't worry about him. He...we, had a big loss" says Ace. "What do you mean" asks Lily. Ace walks Lily over to the rubble, and reveals a dead girl with her arms folded across her chest, and a slash across her body. "That was Sally, Burks girlfriend. They were friends since childhood. She was out little groups healer, but in one battle, Burk got hit pretty bad, and she rushed out to heal him, but it turned out to be a trap. They had her before we even know what hit us. Then the ceiling collapsed, and we were helping help would arrive in time, but...you know" says Ace. "I'm sorry for your loss" says Lily. "Yeah...so are we" says Burk. Conny grabs Lily's arm, and sniffs her. "OMG Conny, what is it now" asks Jenny. "She's been in close proximity of one of them spirits love" says Conny. "For the last time Conny, they aren't spirits, they're just monsters" says Ace. "That's not true! They smell like spirits" says Conny. "Yeah, they're bad spirits called black keys" says Lily. "Aha! I knew it, now, where's this spirit you saw (licks Lily's arm, which makes Lily look a little weirded out). Well, he's still alive, wherever he is. I'm gonna say Northeast" says Conny. "What? Your tracking tell you that" asks Burk. "Nope! Woman's intuition" says Conny. "Actually, before we advance, I advise searching the surrounding area for possible hostiles in case of an ambush, furthermore, we shouldn't act until we know a bit more about our foes, so I recommend asking the lady who saved us some questions before formulating an advancement plan" says Mal. "Eh, we gots nothin ta worry about with da Hale masta around" says Hale. "Oh yeah, why are your eyes red" asks Lily. "Aye, dats for me ta know and-" starts Hale. "Red contacts" says Conny. Hale looks defeated.

Episode 9: What to fight for

Meanwhile, Raid limps a small distance off from Cecilia. "Where are you going" asks Cecilia. "I think I hear fighting ahead. Several clashes of swords. I gotta go help" says Raid. "You can't! You can barely walk" says Cecilia. "They're gonna be in worse shape than me if I do nothing" says Raid. Cecilia sighs, and pulls out Shield and Spears keys. "Open! Gates of piercing and barrier" says Cecilia. Shield and Spear appear, and Shield hugs Cecilia. "Oh, my new master. I thank you for saving my life. You have my gratitude" says Shield. "Actually, I wouldn't have if Raid hadn't begged" says Cecilia. Shield turns to Raid and glares. "How dare you make my master feel inferior to you! Apologize you spineless worm" says Shield. "But I didn't-" starts Raid. Shield scoffs. "And yet no apology. You're such a dog. Master, I say we ditch him. I shall protect you-" starts Shield. "I can't ditch him. I'm going to marry him someday" says Cecilia. Shield looks even angrier at Raid. "How dare you think you're good enough for my master you maggot-" starts Shield. "I didn't-" starts Raid. Shield scoffs again. "A dog like you deserves to be put down. Now shame on you. Apologize" says Shield. Raid goes to speak. "Suggestion, simply apologize, so she stops. She tends to rant a lot" says Spear. "Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am" says Raid. "There! Now master, you see he could never be the man you need. He has no backbone" says Shield. "I beg your pardon, but I don't need you criticising my decisions in men. I summoned you for a specific reason" says Cecilia. "Aren't you being a little harsh-" starts Raid. "Don't you correct my master! Anything she deems correct is so, got that" asks Shield. Raid sighs. "Yes ma'am" says Raid. "Enough Shield. You are to protect Raid in his own stead. I don't want anything to happen to him. He's important to me. Spear is going to stay here to protect me, is that clear" asks Cecilia. "I would be prefer to stay at your side master, but I will follow your order. Come maggot. Let's go" says Shield. Raid and sighs as Shield starts dragging him away. Winter and Vic take a break, and Vic tosses his bag of powder up in down in his hand. "I've got a question for you? Why do you do what you do" asks Winter. "Who knows. Maybe I enjoy the rush, maybe I need the money...or maybe I just don't want to be forgotten" says Vic. "Forgotten" asks Winter. "My old man always feared one thing his whole life, that he'd be forgotten. Guess that's genetic. It's always been my biggest fear that I'm going to die, and just be forgotten. Never do anything BIG in my life" says Vic. "So you make illegal powders to get known? Doesn't sound like good publicity" says Winter. "No such thing as bad publicity" says Vic. "Oh really? Where has it gotten you? You went to prison, haven't become known, or done anything great" says Winter. "Ouch. That tongue is about as sharp as those ice spikes of yours" says Vic. Winter roles her eyes. "So, what's your story then? How'd you end up here" asks Vic. "The short version, my boyfriend should really learn to read a job before he takes it" says Winter. "So, you got a boyfriend huh? What's he like" asks Vic. "Why do you care" asks Winter. "Alpha dog thing. Just want to make sure he isn't better than me" says Vic sarcastically. "He's nice, handsome, and very empathetic" says Winter. "That's bland. What about details. Who is he, how'd you guys meet, how does he treat you" asks Vic. "That's not really any of your business. Who I date is my business" says Winter. "Ouch, touchy aren't you. Don't be like that frosty" says Vic. "Look, I just want to finish this, so I can find him" says Winter. "Where is he" asks Vic. "He got injured, and we told him to sit still, but...I just have this feeling he's out doing something he's not supposed too" says Winter. Vic shrugs. "Sure, let's go drop Scruffy off, and we'll look for Mr. Perfect together" says Vic. "No thanks" says Winter as she starts walking away. Meanwhile, Crush looks like he's in bad shape against his opponent. "What's wrong? Little dog lose its fangs? Why don't you just give up already" asks Eno. Crush clenches his fist. "I think you should run" says Rela from Crush's pocket. Crush shakes his head. Rela looks at the determination in Crush's eyes. "I haven't even used my full power yet. You're master is too easy on you" says Eno. Crush's fist clench harder. Eno whips Crush with a whip. "Aren't you done yet? The pain stops when you do" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and gets back into a fighting position. "I'm not sure what exactly you're fighting for. You should listen to the pixie and just run. The hunt is always fun" says Eno. Rela gasp. "He saw me" she says scaredly. Crush gives her a reassuring look. "Tell you what. Since you've held up so long, I'll let you live, and in return, you give me the pixie. I'm sure a slave like that would be high market value" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and takes off his jacket, placing it, and Rela safely on the ground. "Why fight for it? You don't even know it" says Eno. Rela pokes her head out of the jacket pocket, and sees Crush rush up, only to be knocked down to the ground, and the guy slamming his foot on Crush's neck. "Come on, if you're going to fight, don't hold back! You are boring me to death" says Eno. Eno whips Crush a few times, and Crush winces in pain. Rela watches as tears roll down her face. Meanwhile, Alyn and the girl stand there panting as the man from before swings around a flail. "You guys are really easy to figure out, the big guy runs out of stamina fast, and the small girl runs out of mana fast. So damn predictable" says the guy. "I'm not just a smaw girw! My name is Whyah" says the girl. "The hell kinda name is Whyah" asks the guy. "Not Whyah! Whyah! R-Y-A-H" says the girl. "So, your name is Ryah" asks Alyn. He has a quick flashback of a woman with long grey hair, with Ryah's face. "That is cowect master cwub weiwder" says Ryah. "We need to change our strategy up" says Alyn. Ryah nods. "Awow me to fight awone. I can handwe him" says Ryah. "But we couldn't even fight as 2! There's no way one of us alone can take him" says Alyn. "He's puwing off yowr magic! The cwoser he gets to you, the stwongew his magic gets" says Ryah. Alyn looks displeased. "Bwack keys specificawy twained fow theiw fight wif the diamond keys" says Ryah. "How do you know" asks Alyn. The guy smiles. "You know, you're one tricky little bitch. I thought you were a normal human, but you're actually that diamond key I was sent to kill" says the guy. Ryah doesn't respond. "Wait, then that must mean-" starts Alyn. "No time to expwain" says Ryah. "You owe me an explanation after this" says Alyn. "I owe noffing" says Ryah. Alyn glances at her for a moment. "I'll leave this fight to you as per your request, but we will talk after this" says Alyn. "Wight" says Ryah. Alyn steps back. (Alyn's inner monologue) "Is it really her? After all these years".

Episode 10: Brother or Lover

Raid is limping along, and Shield scoffs at him. "Did I do something wrong" asks Raid. "Yes, you're inconvinencing my master because you can't just stay there and defend her" says Shield. Raid says nothing. "Honestly, you're a nothing but a bother, but you're a bother my master cares about, so try not to act so recklessly. When we get there, I want you to stay behind me as much as possible. My barrier shall protect us both" says Shield. Raid nods. The approach a pile of dark key corpses, and Raid looks over to see a blonde haired person in golden armor fighting several dark keys. "We have to help" says Raid. "My job isn't to protect them, it's to protect you-" starts Shield. Raid puts on his sunglasses, and disappears. "What the-Get back here maggot" says Shield. Raid appears behind a building, takes a deep breath and rushes out. "Hey! Come get someone on your own level" says Raid. The dark keys turn to Raid and start rushing at him. He shoots them down one by one, but soon he's surrounded. "Idiot" yells Shield. She puts a barrier around Raid. "Requip magic, special move, swinging slash" says a familiar voice. The black keys all fall to the ground dead, and Raid looks to see the person in armor standing there. "Oh, it's you. You have my gratitude once again" she says. "Uh, do I know you" asks Raid. "Ah, I suppose you wouldn't recognize me as a girl. Allow me to help" she says. She grabs her hair, and hides half of it, then covers her chest with her other arm. Raid still looks confused. "It's me, Jitso" says the girl. "Huh? That guy from the princess job" asks Raid. "Indeed (kneels and grabs Raid's hand). You have saved my friend, and now saved my very life. I believe this to be fate. I am of the marrying age now" says Jitso. "But...I'm not into guys" Raid says. Jitso laughs. "Ah, you're funny to boot. Yes, I could see you as a great father for our children" says Jitso. "Uh, I'm already-" starts Raid. Jitso grabs Raid and pulls him in close. "Now then, I have claimed you as my husband. We may be from different guilds, but it will only serve to benefit both guilds. Oh, I've waited so long for-" starts Jitso. "But I already-" starts Raid. Jitso grabs Raid's hands. "Worry not dear. As a woman of noble birth, I shall handle everything. Now, I must be going. There could be more people in need of aid. I shall come to your guild hall after this terrible mess is over (kisses Raid on the cheek) farewell dear" says Jitso as she happily runs away. "Wait I-" starts Raid. "How dare you cheat on my master after I saved your pathetic hide" says Shield. "I didn't-" starts Raid. "Honestly, how low can one man be anyways" asks Shield. "But I-" starts Raid. "Let's get back to master already" says Shield. Raid sighs. "Yes ma'am" says Raid as he follows behind Shield. Meanwhile, Red, Garrett and Jasmine are walking when suddenly, a fireball flies at Red. She quickly dodges, and looks over to see Mako standing there. "You really shouldn't have told that doorman your name" says Mako. Red clenches her fist, and Garrett readies his futuristic gun. "You better leave Mako! Emilia Tachworth is dead" says Red. "Oh no, she's very much alive. Now, what do you think would happen if our dear parents found out their daughter was still alive" asks Mako. Red narrows her eyes. "I have to say, I'm very disappointed sis. Joining a rag tag guild, visiting Sebastian on a regular basis, dating a worthless nobody, letting your talents go to waste-" starts Mako. "Shut up! I love Fairy Tail! I love Sebastian! And most importantly, I love my darling" Red says in anger. "Oh I already know that. The way you drool over him, it makes me sick" says Mako. "If you tell anyone I'm alive, it will create more problems for you than it would me. You'd lose your precious fortune, doubt about the family would settle in with the nobles" says Red. "True, but that's not what I'm here about, you see, it's come to my attention that people still think Sebastian is the rightful heir to the family-" starts Mako. "What do you plan on doing to him" Red asks angrily. "You see, that's the beautiful part. I'm not doing anything to him, you're going to kill him for me, make it look like an accident, or suicide, or, I kill that little boyfriend of yours. Maybe put him through the same shit you had too as a little girl. I wonder if he can take it like a champ like you did" says Mako. "YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE" yells Red. "What's it going to be "Red". You're brother, or the man you love" asks Mako. Red starts crying. "Please Mako! Don't make me make a choice like that" says Red. "Please, you know damn well I don't care about you, or Sebastian, or Mio. I worked my ass off to get where I am, and I'll be damned if I let SEBASTIAN just come back after all this time and fuck it all up" says Mako. A water blast slams into Mako. "Hey asshole, don't make a girl cry. Especially in front of me" says Vic as he and Winter walk up. "Bastard! You're nothing but criminal scum" says Mako. "That's true, I'm scum, a real asshole, but you? You're worse than scum. What kind of asshole makes a girl cry, especially in the midst of all this? I have half a mind to kick your ass" says Vic. "How dare you talk to me like that! I'm a member of the Tachworth family" says Mako as he summons a giant golem made of fire. "A little piece of advice, don't let someone who only wants to be known know that you're famous" says Vic as he holds out a bow made of water. "Water sniper" says Vic as he fires an arrow at the golem and it disappears. "Fuck you! Fuck you! FUCK YOU!" yells Mako as he holds up his hand. "Fire meteor rain" yells Mako. "Water barrier" says Vic as he holds up his hand and a barrier made of water shrouds them. The fire meteors hit the barrier, but are ineffective. Vic lets the barrier fall, and Mako is gone. "Damn. The sqiurly bastard made a break for it. Damn spoiled rich punk" says Vic. "Thanks Vic. Maybe you aren't such a bad guy after all" says Winter. "Nope. I'm the same asshole you know and love" says Vic sarcastically. Winter walks up to Red. "Are you okay" asks Winter. Red doesn't say anything. "Come on, you need to be strong. You need to find Raid. I know we're both worried about him" says Winter. Red nods. "This Raid guy, that Mr. Perfect" asks Vic. "I told you to stop calling him that" says Winter. "Sorry Frosty, no can do" says Vic. "You would be correct. Darling is perfect in every way" says Red happily. "Darling? Wait, who's boyfriend is he exactly" asks Vic. "Uh...both of ours" says Winter in embarrassment. "Oh my, how scandalous" says Jasmine. "Sounds like Mr. Perfect is actually a horndog" says Vic with a cocky smile. "Shut up! He is not! We forced him into this" says Winter. "So, you're saying he's just a push over" Vic asks in a cocky tone. "Why the hell are you always so infuriating" asks Winter. "What can I say? It just comes with my roughish charm" says Vic sarcastically. "Could...you do me a favor? I'm going to look for darling, I need you to take these people to safety" says Red. "What? Going to look for Mr. Perfect without us" asks Vic. "I need him in my arms. I'm so worried about him. I need to know he's safe" says Red. Winter nods. "Just find him K, and take care of yourself" says Winter. Red nods and rushes off. "You know, all sarcasm aside, I'm glad you guys have found someone who makes you happy. It's an important thing to have in this lifetime" says Vic. "Did you ever have anyone like that" asks Winter. "A rouge like me? Nah. I had me and my siblings" says Vic. "You have siblings" asks Winter. "It's not important. Come on, let's get these two back to safety so we can help look for Mr. Perfect" says Vic with a smile. Winter laughs. "I hate you" she says with laugh. Meanwhile, Lily is walking with teens, when suddenly, a black key with green hair, glasses, and a skull mask on the right side of his face walks up. "Stand back. This one is stronger than the others" says Conny. "Worry not. I don't intend to fight you, but there is a necromancer in the area whom you will encounter quite soon" says the black key. "Wait? You're not attacking? Why not" asks Burke. "All I want is freedom. As long as I'm not denied that, I'm content to live and let live" says the black key. Then, a hand is placed on Burkes shoulder. He spins around and his jaw drops. "S-Sally" asks Burke. "This is the work of the necromancer I spoke of. Step aside" says the black key. "Don't you dare touch her! I won't let you kill-" starts Burke. "One cannot kill that which is dead. However, I have no intention of doing so" says the black key as he walks up to Sally and materializes a necklace. He gently puts it on her, and she falls unconcious. "Bastard what'd you-" starts Burke. "She will be fine. This necklace will allow her to live, as a normal human would, however, if she were to take this necklace off, she will perish" says the black key. The black key simply walks away without another word. "Da heck was dat" asks Hale. "It was totes strange" says Jenny. "Whatever. We need to keep going" says Ace. Meanwhile, Crush rushes up and slams his fist into Eno. Eno falls back. "Ha! Guess I have no choice! Now you'll find out why they call me the beastmaster" says Eno. He whistles, and a huge demon dog tackles Crush to the ground, and scratches Crush's chest open with it's sharp claws. Crush struggles, but can't move. "Now! Be a good slave and give up" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and looks at Rela. "I-I-I have to save him" Rela yells as she flies out of Crush's pocket. "Pixie needles" says Rela. She shoots two needles or light into the dogs eyes, and it flinches. Crush quickly throws the dog off, but grabs his chest in pain. "We have to run" says Rela. Crush has a flashback. (Flashback) Shadow Raid walks up to Celestial Crush, who's covered in scratches and bruises. "Hey there, are you okay? You need a hand" asks Raid as he offers his hand. Crush pushes Raid's hand away. Raid grabs Crush's arm and puts it over his shoulder, then starts helping him along. Crush looks at Raid. "I know you don't want my help, but I'm giving it anyways. You're hurt badly" says Raid. Crush does nothing, but then a spirit with a crown walks up. "Release my slave shadow. It is my property" says the spirit. "He doesn't belong to anyone. Not anymore" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid disbelievingly. (Flashback jumps forward). Crush is patched up, and laying on a moss bed. "Here in a few days, you should be well enough to leave. Then you can go wherever. Nowhere around here is really a good place to be, but I aim to change that" says Raid. Crush tilts his head. "I'm going to break several celestial laws to go to the human world, and stop a war. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make this place better with my actions" says Raid. Crush nods, and offers his hand. "No, I couldn't ask you to-" starts Raid. Crush narrows his eyes. "No, I suppose I didn't ask you did I, but wouldn't you rather enjoy your freedom" asks Raid. Crush smiles. "I see, then I gladly accept your help" says Raid. (Flashback ends) Crush smiles to himself. "Are you okay" asks Rela. Crush stands up, and his wings fly from his back. "Finally going all out huh" asks Eno. Crush charges forward, and Eno lashes Crush with his whip several times, but Crush ignores the pain, and delivers a hard blast to Eno's nose, knocking him unconcious. "Are you okay, you're bleeding pretty-" starts Rela. Crush falls down to the ground, and gives a thumbs up. "I think you're shirt is done for" says Rela. Crush looks down at his shirt, and sees a lot of blood and rips. He looks disappointed and closes his eyes. Meanwhile, Alyn watches as Ryah dodges an onslaught of bullets from the guys gun. "You can't dodge forever! Give up and die" yells the guy. (Alyn's inner monologue) "Perhaps I was wrong. Maybe it's not her after-". Rela stops, and takes a deep breath. The metal once again surrounds her body. "Haven't we already established that won't work" asks the guy. "Secwet awt! Wequip, cannon" says Ryah. A huge cannon appears on her shoulder. "What the hell" asks the guy. "Fiwe" says Ryah. She fires, and the recoil sends her flying back, but the metal stops her from being hurt. The cannonball slams into the guys gut, and he pukes, then the metal forms around Ryah's fist to make metal boxing gloves, she runs over and uppercuts the guy, and the guy falls unconcious. "So, is it really you" asks Alyn. Ryah doesn't respond. "You're name, that voice, and that technique, after all these years, I finally found you" says Alyn. "I'm sowwy, I-" starts Ryah. "Why did you do it? Why did you leave? We needed you, and you...just left" says Alyn. "I have my weasons" says Ryah. "So what now" asks Alyn. "You get to safety. I wiw fight the dawk keys" says Ryah. "You aren't my sensei anymore. I'm going too, but once this is over, I still have questions" says Alyn. "I may not have the answews you seek" says Ryah. Meanwhile, The demon is walking past a huge crowd of dark keys, until he reaches a spirit that is shrouded in darkness, except his face (with the exception of some lines on his cheeks) and his long greyish white hair. "Well if it isn't the reaper himself" says the demon. The reaper scoffs. "What" asks the reaper. The demon smiles, oh nothing. Just THIS" says the demon. His demon claw slashes the reaper across the chest. The other black keys ready themselves for battle, but the reaper holds up his hand. "No. This is my battle" says the reaper. "Getting cocky on me are you" asks the demon. "No. You are simply an opponent that I feel I should handle myself. Maybe it's my purpose to fight you today" says the reaper as he readies his sword. "Purpose eh? Sounds a little uncharacteristic for a black key" says the demon. "You and I both know we are not like other black keys" says the reaper. The demon smiles. "Well, let's make this fun" says the demon as he readies his claw. Then the two rush at each other ready to clash.

Episode 11: Another one?!

Raid and Shield get back to Cecilia and Spear, and Cecilia runs up and gives Raid a hug. "I'm glad you're back. I was so worried" says Cecilia. "You need never worry master. As long as I am around, I shall protect you and those you care about, even if it just so happens to be a slimy maggot" says Shield. "Well done Cecilia. I praise your efforts, yours too Spear. Your actions helped me greatly" says Cecilia. Shield smiles. "Oh this could just be the happiest day of our lives Spear! Master praised us" says Cecilia. "Affirmative" says Spear. Cecilia closes their gates, and they disappear. "It was quite draining to keep two gates open at once" says Cecilia. "I'm sorry" says Raid. Cecilia grabs Raid's hand and puts her forehead against his. "You're the reason I didn't give up wanting to live. Of course I could do at least that for you. Of course, if you did want to thank me, I can think of something I'd like as a reward" says Cecilia. "What's that" asks Raid. Cecilia gives him a kiss. "That" she says. Raid turns away. "F-forgive my forwardness" says Cecilia. "You shouldn't care about a guy just because he saved your life" says Raid. Cecilia walks up and hugs Raid from behind. "It's so much more than that. I can't even begin to put it into words, and besides, even if it were just that, I would still feel the same" says Cecilia. Raid says nothing. "I'm a princess remember? I'm very good at knowing what I want" Cecilia says in a joking tone. "I...I'm already in a relationship though, with multiple people actually. Even though it was something I wasn't given a choice in, I still care for them, and I don't want to hurt them, but I really don't want to hurt you either. Especially now of all times" says Raid. Cecilia says nothing. "How...does that work" asks Cecilia. "I'm not sure. We just make it work" says Raid. Cecilia tightly clenches Raid's shirt. "I-I still have feelings for you, but if you think it's best that I not, I'll bottle them up" says Cecilia as she starts crying. "It's not that, you're feelings are actually really sweet, but I don't want to hurt you, or them-" starts Raid. "Then take me as well! I was already prepared to marry a man who has multiple wives anyways, but now, it's someone I chose! Someone I actually care about! I take back what I said! I can't burry my feelings! Please, don't make me! Don't ask me to do something impossible! I am madly in love with you, and would do anything to be in your arms" says Cecilia. "But you're a princess-" starts Raid. Cecilia takes off the pin on her shirt that shows she's nobility, and the crown on her head, and tosses them both away. Not anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the princess died alongside her father today" says Cecilia. "You can't do that! You have a kingdom to run" says Raid. "I'm not worthy of the crown. I don't know politics, I don't know how to govern the masses, or what to do in a crisis. I follow my heart to much, and when it comes to running a kingdom, it's always best if you follow your head instead" says Cecilia. Raid doesn't say anything. "Please! I'll so anything! Just don't reject my feelings (sniffles) I-I just couldn't take it" says Cecilia. Raid sighs. "Man, they're going to kill me" says Raid. Meanwhile Winter finally gets Garrett, Jasmine, Vic and Scruffy to the safe area. Winter and Vic walk up to Elora. "How is that kid? The one with the injured leg" says Vic. "I'm afraid she's not well. She lost her parents right before her eyes...and what's worse...we found a doctor, but her leg...it had to be amputated" says Elora. Winter looks so sad. "I-I-" starts Winter as she starts crying. "It's okay. You did everything you could Frosty" says Vic. "Would you like to see her? She's been wanting to meet the people who saved her life" says Elora. Winter wiped away her tears and nods. Elora leads them to the remains of building, where the injured are being treated. "It's you! It's you! It's really you" says the girl. "Uh, hi. I'm Winter" says Winter. "Woooow. That's such a pretty name" says the girl. Winter elbows Vic. "I'm Vic" says Vic. "I'm Ledy" says the little girl. "It's very nice to meet you" says Winter. "Thank you for saving me" says Ledy. "I-I just wish I could have saved more of you" says Winter. Ledy looks down at her missing leg. "It's alright, cause the doctor says that it would have bad to keep it. I just (sniffles) I just, I miss my mommy" says Ledy as she starts crying. Winter quickly hugs her. "I'm all alone now" says Ledy. "No! I won't let you be alone! I'll take care of you" says Winter. "Hey frosty, don't be hasty-" starts Vic. "I-I've made up my mind. Ledy, I know this is a bit sudden, but how would you feel about coming to live with me" asks Winter. Ledy looks away. "I-I dunno" says Ledy. Vic walks up to Ledy. "You know kid, I lost my mom when I was young too. My dad went to jail, and I haven't seen him since. I know this is a big change for you, but hang in there. For now, just let the doctor take care of you" says Vic. Ledy nods. "If you're good, I'll get you a lollipop afterwards. That's what my dad used to do for me" says Vic. "I love lollipops" says Ledy. "It's settled then" says Vic. Meanwhile, Alyn and Ryah walk along. (Alyn has a flashback) A much younger looking Alyn swings a sword. "No no. That's now wight. Youw putting too much fowce into each swing. You must wearn contwol" says a taller version of Ryah with longer hair, and fancy armor on. "Y-yes ma'am" says Alyn. "Oh welax. Youw doing fine. I guawantee youw going to be numbew one at the touwnament" says Ryah. "Th-thank you ma'am" says Alyn. Ryah smiles. "Youw aways so sewious. Wighten up a wittle. I've waised you since you wewe thwee, you don't have to be so fowmal" says Ryah. "Yes ma'am, I mean, Ryah" says Alyn. (Flashback jumps forward). Alyn runs up to Ryah. "Hey! I won! I won" says Alyn. "I knew you couwd! Wets go get ice cweam to cewebrate" says Ryah. (Flashback jumps forward) Alyn walks out of an alley and sees Ryah talking to some guy. He decides to eavesdrop. "You can't send him! I won't awow it" says Ryah. "You, don't get a say in the matter, and neither does he. As a diamond key, it's his duty to-" starts the guy. "I'm going to the cewestal king" says Ryah. (Flashback jumps forward). Ryah looks exhausted, and Alyn walks up to her. "Good wuck today. If you win this match, you wiw become a high wanking diamond key someday" says Ryah. "Are you alright? You aren't looking so good" says Alyn. "I'm fine. Wew go get ice cweam again once you win" says Ryah. "I'm not a kid anymore Ryah" says Alyn. "Awight, but the offew is stiw open" says Ryah. After the battle, Alyn walks to where Ryah always waits, but she's not there. "Ryah? Ryah? Where are you" asks Alyn. (Flashback ends, Alyn's inner monologue) "She disappeared after that. I had never seen her again, not until today". Ryah stops, and readies her metal gear. "What's the matter" asks Alyn. "I-Its noffing. Let's just continue" says Ryah. She goes to walk, but Alyn stops her. "How do I know I can trust you" asks Alyn. Ryah stays silent for a moment. "I thought I senseed an enemy, but it's no wonger awound" says Ryah. "Only because I masked my presence" says a voice from behind. Ryah quickly jumps in front of Alyn, but Alyn moves in front of her. "I'm strong enough to handle myself" says Alyn. "But-" starts Ryah. "Watch my back" says Alyn. "As you wish, mastew cwub weiwder" says Ryah reluctantly. "I'll test you apart-" starts the guy. A look of pain fills his face, and he starts walking forward zombie like. "What's wrong with him" asks Alyn. "He's no longer a threat" says a voice. The guy falls to the ground, and Lilith stands there from behind where he was, covered in blood. "Who's...blood is that" asks Alyn. "A little of mine, a little of his, and a whole lot of others" she says. Alyn's eyes widen for a moment. "Ahem, well, I believe I should thank you for coming back for me" says Alyn. She falls down on a knee and hangs her head. "Are you alright-" starts Alyn. "Please-" she mumbles. "What" asks Ryah. "Please" she repeats. "Please what" asks Alyn. She looks up with desperation in her eyes. "We have to save my master. My life simply has no meaning without him. I-I cannot stand to allow himself to die" says Lilith. Alyn says nothing for a minute. "Please" she repeats once more. "I believe I shall be engaging a spirit called the reaper soon" says Alyn after a while. "The Reaper" the guy on the ground asks. Alyn lifts his eyebrow. "Why does everyone fear this "Reaper" asks Alyn. "Are you kidding? The Reaper is totally gonna kick your ass" says the guy. Lilith's eyes glow red, and the guy draws a dagger and holds it to his own throat. "Hold it, what are you doing" asks Alyn. "We have no need of him. The black keys don't negotiate for prisoners, nor do they rescue them. He's worthless as bait or a bargaining chip" says Lilith. "People are much more than that" says Alyn. Lilith doesn't look too happy about it, but the guy puts down the dagger. "Tell me what you know of the Reaper" says Lilith. "I ain't telling you shit" says the guy. Lilith's eyes glow again, and he looks pained. "He's...practically unbeatable" the guy gets out. Lilith let's go of control for a moment. "Why" she asks. "Hell I don't know. I've never met the guy though. Word has it, he doesn't even have actual blood. It's some kind of poison, so anyone who uses swords will get a nasty surprise" says the guy. Lilith looks frustrated. "What else" she asks. "He's also really strong, and shrugs off pain" says the guy. Meanwhile, the Reaper has the demon in the air by the throat, but lets him down. "Sir! He's a treat" says one of the black keys. "I don't really give a damn to be honest. This is all so boring. Perhaps this is not my purpose after all" says the reaper. An older man in a robe walks out, and puts his hand on the reaper's shoulder. "Of course it is my son. So much corruption runs through your veins. So much power runs through your body. So much chaos runs through your mind! You were made for this! Bred for this! You will be the commander that leads the dark keys to victory, not that fool leading now" says the guy. "Whatever. Wake me when there's actually something that needs done" says the reaper as he starts walking away. "Actually, there is something. (The Reaper stops, and turns to the older man) Go now. I want you to slay two spirits who I believe may be trouble" says the older man. The Reaper nods. "The first one is the Gate of Shadows. I can feel him around. Also, Ryah, the diamond key spirit, and friend to that dastardly woman-" starts the old man. "Sir, Diana's son stalks the fields as well" says a female knight spirit, with corruption running throughout her body (similar to the Reaper). "Well. Looks like you have 3 targets now my son. Happy hunting" says the old man.

Episode 12: The Reaper

Raid and Cecilia continue walking, and eventually they see Red just standing there. She looks like she's been crying a lot. "Red? RED?! Are you okay? Are you hurt" asks Raid. Red says nothing. "Uh, are you okay" asks Raid. "It's...not fair" she says. "What isn't" asks Raid. Red gets close to Raid, but suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs it into his gut. Raid's eyes widen, and he falls to the ground. He looks up at her, and she holds the blade up to her own neck. "All I want is to be happy with my darling. Why is that too much to ask" she asks as tears roll down her face. "I...don't understand" Raid says weakly. Cecilia holds out a silver key. "Stop hurting him" she says. "I've never wanted to cause darling harm. That's why I plan on taking my life afterwards" says Red. Raid's eyes widen, as he sees Red start crying more. Red thinks about getting burned again. "Why can't I ever escape my horrid family" she yells. Raid hugs her. "What's this about" asks Raid. Red tells Raid about the encounter with Mako, and Raid looks mad. "So, um...who's this" asks Cecilia. "Yes darling, I'd like to know who this hussy is as well" says Red. Raid looks back and forth nervously. "Well, uh, Cecilia, this is Red...she's one of the girlfriends I told you about" says Raid. Cecilia does a curtsie. "It's a pleasure to join you. I believe I'm the third addition to your little party" says Cecilia. Red looks angrily at Raid. Raid has a quick flashback of Jitso. "Well...actually…" says Raid. He explains it to the girls. "What?!" they both ask at once. "Hey it's not my fault" says Raid. "That's true, my precious darling is irresistible" says Red. "Do not allow him to simply toss aside blame. Actions result in consequences" says Cecilia. "B-but- it's not my fault" says Raid. "If you weren't just so irresistibly kind and gentle, maybe so many girls wouldn't be swooning over you" says Cecilia. Raid stumbles a little. "Are you alright Darling-" starts Red. Raid suddenly collapses on the ground. "RAID" both girls yell at once. Meanwhile, Alyn, Ryah, and Lilith are walking along, when Ryah suddenly stops. "What is it" asks Alyn. "Wook out" she yells as she backflips backwards. Alyn jumps back, and a cannon lands right where Alyn was standing. "Damn, I missed" says a voice. The group turns to see the reaper walking towards them. "I...I've never seen someone with so much corruption" says Lilith. Ryah looks at the cannon for a moment. "A question, if I may" she says. The Reaper nods. "Why thwow the cannon, when you could have simwy twown the cannonball" she asks. "Uh...what" asks the reaper. Ryah reaches into the cannon, and pulls out a cannonball. The Reaper rubs the back of his head. "Because I forgot" says the reaper. Everyone looks surprised at such a simple answer. "So, which one of you is the son of Diana" he asks as he pulls out a sword. "There's only one guy in the group" says Lilith. The reapers eyes widen. "Oh yeah, so, you're Diana's squirt" asks the reaper looking at Alyn. "You weave hew out of youw mowff" Ryah says angrily and she speeds forward and rushes at the reaper. She requips her cannon when she gets close, and points it at his face. She fires it, and an extreme impact is heard, however, when the smoke clears, the reaper simply shakes some shards out of his hair, and looks fine. He smiles at the group. "Alright! I'm finally feeling some excitement" says the reaper. He punches Ryah had in the gut, and Alyn can hear bones shatter, then she flies into the side of a nearby building. "Enough" says Lilith. She disappears, and quickly reappears behind the reaper. She digs her claws into his back, but yanks her hand out. It's covered in a black liquid substance that feels like it's eating her hand. "I've got no blood to control" says the reaper as he spins around and slams her in the gut with the back of the blade. She as well flies back, and she even coughs up some blood. "There's some vampire resistance right there" says the reaper. "Hey bud, watch hurting my lady" says the demon as he appears out of nowhere, and his demon claw rips into the reapers chest. "Your tainted blood can't hurt my demonic claw" says the demon. "I knew there was a reason I liked you" says the reaper. The demon withdraws the claw, and the reaper tries slashing him a few times with his sword, but the demon knows away the strikes with his claw. Meanwhile, Alyn rushes over to Ryah, who looks weak. "Use…Arthur" she says weakly. Alyn nods, and starts walking towards the fighting. "Very well reaper. I'll fight you as well, now! Commander level Requip, Arthur" says Alyn. A holy shield appears on Alyn's arm. "What's that" asks the demon. "Master don't touch it! Arthur is a holy weapon! A single touch to corruption destroys it" says Lilith. "So, all I've got to do is kill you without touching you" asks the reaper. He slams his sword into the group, and black spikes rip from the ground. One impales Lilith, two impale the demon, and Alyn was lucky enough to only have his arm pierced. "Restoration" Lilith says weakly. Her blood starts going back into her body, and eventually she gets enough strength to break the spike she's on and weakly gets over to the demon. "Master-" she says with tears in her eyes. "Come on, where's the trust" asks the demon. Lilith looks up, and the demon is dangling from the spikes by two holes in his chest soaked with blood. "How is he still alive" asks Alyn. The demon breaks the spikes, and falls to the ground. "Boo" he says as he rushes up and gets a few deep slashes on the reapers torso. Raid, Red, and Cecilia make it to the spot Alyn and group are in. Raid hears them fighting, and lifts his blaster, but Cecilia lowers his hand. "Hey, don't push yourself" she says. The battlefield goes silent. Raid hobbles forward, and the girls follow him, knowing he won't stop. He makes it up there, and sees Alyn, Lilith, and the demon are all now laying on the ground close to death, and the reaper sits there staring up at the sky. Raid starts walking over. "Raid don't" says Cecilia. Raid makes it over, and sits next to the reaper. "The stars huh? You like them too" asks Raid. "Something about those things gives me...I don't know what it is exactly" says the reaper. "Who knows. So, why are you working with the dark keys anyways" asks Raid. "I don't know. Looking for my purpose I guess" says the reaper. "Your purpose" asks Raid. "You know, my reason for being. The reason I'm alive" says the reaper. "Who says you have to have a reason at all" asks Raid. "What's the point if there's no reason" asks the reaper. "There's lots of fun things about living. This you don't have to do, but they're fun. Maybe one day you'll find something you enjoy" says Raid. The reaper lays back. "Honestly. More of these would be just fine" says the reaper. "Stars" asks Raid. "No. Talks. I'm strong, so I'm certain my purpose is to fight, and yet strangely, I never find more joy than when I'm talking to someone" says the reaper. "Hey, I've got an idea! Why not join Fairy Tail" asks Raid. "Fairy Tail" asks the reaper. "It's a guild, filled with lots of interesting people. Some are flirty, some are quiet, some are goofy and some are serious, some are small, while others are large. I think you'd like it" says Raid. The reaper looks over at Alyn's shield. "I'm not sure I can be part of that, but I appreciate the offer" says the reaper as he walks over to the shield. "What are you doing" asks Raid. "Helping your cause. Corruption spreads, so far that it can leech onto other people. If I were to join your guild, I'd only turn them into monsters. I guess this is goodbye" says the reaper as he touches the shield. "No" yells Raid. A glow occurs, and Raid looks over to see the reaper is naked, but now free of corruption. "Huh. So that's what would have happened" says the reaper. Raid covers his eyes. "Oh what? Do these things not spawn with clothes" asks the reaper. Raid takes off his vest and hands it to the reaper, who puts it on. "Yeah, this doesn't cover it...in more than one way" says the reaper. Cecilia and Red are shielding their eyes. Lilith looks up to see the sight. She stares but says nothing. "Cover yourself" says Raid. "I did" says the reaper as he looks down at the vest. "I mean…more" says Raid. "Why? I've got nothing to be ashamed of" says the reaper. "No shame indeed" says Lilith. "You guys are gross" says Raid. The reaper headlocks Raid and messes up his hair. "You know, I like you. I think your my new little brother" says the reaper. "B-Brother" asks Raid. "Hey I don't have one, might as well be you" says the reaper. "Oh, what do we call you by the way" asks Lilith. "Reaper" says the reaper. "But what's your name" she asks. "I don't know. Everyone's always called me Reaper. Call me Reap for short" says the reaper. "Well, welcome to Fairy Tail, Reap" says Raid as the two high-five.

Episode 13: VICtory!

The girl from before walks up to the older man. "The reaper has betrayed us sir. The gift master gave him was taken away by a diamond key spirit" she reports. "Which diamond key" asks the old man. "Alyn Chrome, my former comrad and teacher" the girl reports. "Blast that cursed bloodline! The reaper may not have been enslaved like most, but he was a powerful pawn" says the old man. "What are your orders master Higaru" asks the girl. "Silence! I'm thinking" he says."Apologies sir" she says. The old man paces back and forth. "I'll either need to get the reaper back, or I'm gonna have to get someone just as strong, no...stronger" he says. "I think I can help with that" says a voice. The old man turns to see Legion standing there. "I-I thought you were trapped back in the darkside of the celestial world" says the old man. "Yep. There's only one way out if your key is broken" says Legion. "You didn't" starts the old man. "Oh but I did. I used the mirror of humanity, and guess what, the diamond keys are close to falling. Their forces dwindle by the day" says Legion. The old man laughs hysterically. "Finally! Our vengeance is upon us" he says. They both look at the girl. "So, what's the plan for her when all's done" asks Legion. "She's to be executed of course. She's a lovely looking creature, but I've no interest in this one. There has been no fear in her eyes since the day I found her barely alive" says the old man. "We should report back to master Xeon right away" says the girl. "Yes. He'll be most displeased if we're late" says the old man. "Who's gonna lead the forces" asks Legion. "Hmm. Have the forces retreat. If the Fairy brats want a victory let them have it. We've wasted more than we gained with this strike anyways" says the old man as he walks away with the girl. "I've got a better idea" says Legion. Winter sits beside Ledy's bed holding her hand, and Garrett rushes up looking nervous. "Winter! Winter get up! We've got trouble" says Garrett. "What trouble" asks Winter. "It looks like the entire army is marching on this position. We have to evacuate everyone" says Garrett. Jasmine rushes up. "We'll never make it. There are too many injured" says Jasmine. Vic sits on the roof and hears it all, then looks over his shoulder to see a massive force of dark keys nearly sprinting towards the location. At that speed they'll be here in less than 3 minutes" Vic says to himself. A man starts ringing the town bell, which catches everyone in towns attention. They start making their way to the location. As the forces get close, Vic drops down from the ceiling, and stands in front of the dark keys. He ties a letter to Scruffy, and sets Scruffy down on the ground. "Go find frosty. Give her that for me would you" asks Vic. Scruffy gives Vic a sad look. "I wouldn't come back for me if I were you" says Vic. Scruffy slowly starts making its way away. (Vic's inner monologue) "I look kinda brave now, but actually I'm really terrified. I know I'm gonna die, but 3 minutes just isn't long enough" "I'm gonna do you proud old man! Do you hear me! I'm not leaving this world a nobody" yells Vic as she rushes at the black keys. Winter is helping everyone evacuate, and looks around. "I don't see Vic, where is he" asks Winter. Tara's eyes widen. "What" asks Winter. "I-I had thought the demon army would be apon us already, yet it's not. I hope my fears aren't correct" says Tara. Winter starts rushing away. "Winter, come back" yells Jasmine. Vic slays black key after black key, with amazing agility and skill with his magic. However, a surprise attack severs one of Vic's arms, and he yells out in pain. (Inner monologue) "Not...yet...I have to make sure everyone gets to safety". A water arm grows where Vic's real arm was. "I'm not done yet bastards" yells Vic. Meanwhile, Winter rushes through the streets. "VIC! VIC! WHERE ARE YOU" she yells. After a while of running, she finds Vic laying down by a hoard of black keys. "You're...alive right" asks Winter as she puts her ear up to his chest. Nothing. She looks over to see his missing arm, and gasps. "V-Vic! Come on Vic, please don't joke with me right now! Get up" she yells as tears fall from her cheeks onto his face. "You wanna leave the water to me" he asks weakly. She looks at him, and it looks like he's barely conscious. "H-He's alive! Help! Somebody help him" yells Winter. "I'm...cold...I...don't suppose I have you to thank for that do I" asks Vic. "Vic, hang on! I-Ill stop the bleeding" she says as she takes off her sweatshirt and presses it against the open wound. Vic's eyes start fluttering. Winter slaps him. "Vic! Vic, don't pass out on me" she says. "I don't think...I'm gonna make it" says Vic. "I won't let you die! You're a hero! You did something good with your life" she says. "Yeah...guess I did. I also met you" says Vic. Winter looks at him, to see his eyes are closed. "Vic…" she asks. Vic doesn't respond. Winter shakes him a little, nothing. A man rushes around the corner. "I'm a doctor looking for injured, is he-" asks the man. "I-I don't know" she says. The man rushes over to him, and goes to check for a pulls, but Vic grabs the guys arm, and he and Winter scream. Vic laughs. "Worth it" he says with a smile. "I'll kill you myself" says Winter in anger, as the doctor begans using healing magic on the wound. "Couldn't stand the thought of being without me could you frosty" asks Vic. She punches him in the face. "Hey injured hero here" he says. "Don't ever do that again. I couldn't stand for someone I care about to die" she says. Vic gives her a smug grin. "What" she asks. "You admitted you cared about me" he says. Her eyes widen, and she tries taking it back. Raid limps out and looks over to see Winter. "Raid" she says as she starts rushing toward him. "So, I got to meet Mr. Perfect after all" says Vic. "Shut up! I'm still mad at you" she says. She looks Raid over. "You're...all beat up! And you have an open knife wound, who stabbed you" she asks. "That's actually a funny story, and while I'm at it, your should probably know about-" starts Raid. "Never fear! I have arrived to save you all" says Jitso as she rushes out and sees the dark keys are already dead. "Ah, well. Onward then-(stops and turns to Raid, and instantly rushes over to him)-Oh, it's my hubby wubby" she says as she kisses his cheek. "Ouch dude. That's gonna cost you" says Vic. "Would you mind telling me why she called you a hubby wubby, or why there is a third girl hanging all over you now" asks Winter. "Well, actually I was about to tell you about her and-" starts Raid. Red, Cecilia, and Reap walk out. "Oh, this must be Winter. I'm told that I shall be fourth is Raid's growing harem" she says. Winter slaps Raid, but he then explains everything. Winter sighs. "I don't like this, but I'll condone it, but no more got it" she asks. Raid nods. "Alright, great that's settled-" starts Winter. A woman wearing an ancient dress, and a crown on gracefully makes her way down the way, and stops at Raid. "I have traveled far to find you, my beloved" she says. All the girls look at Raid. "This isn't my fault" he says with a sigh. "Sorry, party of four only" says Winter. "Then I'm terribly afraid one of you girls are going to have to quit" says the woman. Red prepares fire, and Jitso draws her sword. "Gotta love a good cat fight" says Vic. "I shall not hand over my darling to some random hussy...again" she says. "I have sworn myself to this man, and no other. I will not have him taken from me" says Jitso. "They don't ask what you want often do they" asks Vic. Raid just chuckles nervously. "I suppose my introduction was a bit ominous master Raid, but I assure you, I intended nothing of the sort. Please, allow myself to give you a proper greeting. My name is Inmshall Drayorous Benalda. It's a pleasure to meet you" the woman says with a polite bow. "How old are you" asks Winter. "Where are you from" asks Red. "It's impolite to ask a lady her age, but I'll tell you. I'm 24 thousand 634 years old" she says. Everyone just looks at her. "You're what now" asks Raid. She smiles gently. "Why yes. Does this bother you" she asks. "Not exactly but...uh...how" asks Raid. "I'm a dragon. We do live for quite the long time you see" she says. A pair of draconic wings sprouts from her back, and she flies into the air, then, her body transforms, and she becomes a beautiful white dragon. "Wow. She's so pretty" says Raid. She transforms back into a human, and lands back on the ground. "It pleases me greatly that my beloved thinks so" she says. "So uh, Inm…uh, Inmsha-" starts Raid. "If you wish, you may call me In (ee-n) for short" she says. "Well, miss In, why me...or do I wanna know" Raid asks. In smiles. "Long ago, every dragon could take a human form, as I do. It helped them from being hunted, as well as with their overall functionality. Eventually, we somehow lost this art, and now fewer than 5 dragons can do so. The 4 dragons who can still transform conducted a ritual, and it showed us who our love will be, so that we may seek them out, and create children" she says. "N-No! Wanting to date him is one thing, baby making is out of the question" says Red. "It's alright. Whomever I grant my blessing too will live as long as I do. I'll simply outlive the rest of you" In says. "Nobody is spending an eternity with darling but me" says Red. "I'm not sure it's up to you. Master Raid, would you like me to leave" she asks. Everyone looks at him. "It's not a contest. We could always use some new faces around the guild hall" says Raid. "B-but- what about the baby making" asks Red. "I refuse to let it happen" says Winter. "Me as well. I want to be the first mother of my dears children" says Jitso. The girls all start fighting, except Cecilia who moves over by Raid and sits by him, holding his hand. Suddenly, Raid and friends can see some movement off in the distance. As it gets closer, they can see Lily and Crush walking up with the teens. "Hey Crush!...Why are you naked" asks Raid. Crush shakes his head. "Oh, well oddly enough, you aren't the only one" says Raid as he nudges towards Reap. Crush raises an eyebrow. "He's my brother" says Raid. Everyone's eyes widen. "I-I hadn't realized you had a brother" says Cecilia. "Yep, meet my older brother Reap" says Raid. Reap smiles and gives him a thumbs up. "Well, let's help get stuff cleaned up around town" says Alyn as the group starts picking up the town.
