Bold is for attacks

Michelle's POV

"Another one of the enemies is down!" Warren said.

"That means there's what…seven left?" I wondered trying to count on my hand.

"That one spot isn't moving." Master Mavis noted "The east has just stopped."

"That's not a good sign." I hummed "Huh?"

The main door of the guild creaked open slowly, the sun bled in the doors but I could make out the silhouette of a balding man.

"So this is it, what a neat little guild." He said "you can smell the age and times of this place."

The man was bald, had awful dusty five o'clock shadow and was wearing a suit.

"Who are you?" Mest glared.

"I'm Jacob Lessio." He explained "One of the Spriggan 12."

One got so close without us noticing a thing?

"Those markers." He pointed at the radar "They have no meaning, you see I have this ally August and well, he's good and fooling things like that. He's a rather smart man."

"So you just walked on in all alone?" Cana glared.

"I'm rather versatile." He said taking a seat alone at a table "The man I mentioned, August, he's on his way here too, he's very strong, even I wouldn't mess with him. Even your Master was smart enough to not pick a fight with him."

"What?!"

"Yes the boy with the lightning bolt scar on his eye went running suddenly." Jacob explained.

"That's nothing like Kanji at all!" Cana snapped.

"Well he did run away." Jacob shrugged "That's the truth…so would you like to learn how my assassinations work? I've never failed one before you know."

"Why would an assassin announce himself?" Max asked.

"Very good point. Assassination is the art of hiding oneself and hunting without noise, but I don't do that." He explained "because there's no need for me to hide."

The man held his gloved hands up.

"The only thing I hide are the dead and witnesses, so that no one is left."

"What?"

*Clap*

"It was enlightening to speak with you." He said as the floor glowed "Goodbye now."

Mavis POV

"Oh there's still someone here." The man said as I was suddenly shot with a magic bullet.

"What?" I gasped.

Impossible he can't see me; I don't even have a body!

A magic cage appeared and snapped around me.

"GAH!"

"I'd wager you'd talk to me if you could." He hummed "I think I'm putting it together, you're that Heart the Emperor is so sought after."

"AAAAH!" the cage let off a magic charge that zapped me.

"So tell me, where is your real body?" he asked shooting me again "If you tell me I can return your friends. They're not dead, just in a…in-between place."

I felt his finger on the back of my neck.

"So, are you going to save them or not?"

I can't fight in this form, what should I do?

"Seek His Blood, O Blade of Mine!

A sword suddenly erupted from the ground and made Jacob jump back.

"What?"

"Michelle mentioned something about a ghost only Fairy Tail Members can see." A voice said from nowhere "So I wondered how you could hit her, you've got some good assassin sense."

"Who's there?!" he snapped "I banished everyone."

"You have no domain in my shadows." The voice said.

A shadow on the floor warped and a man floated up, her was tall, handsome face, black hair, wearing a brown cloak.

"I got a request to come help some friends." He said looking at him "So happens I'm an assassin too, I've heard the stories about the legendary Jacob Lessio, best assassin in the world, maybe I can kill you and take that title myself."

"Who are you?" he glared.

"Heh." The man smirked.

"Everyone calls me Chase." He laughed "I might not be able to see you, but you just hang tight First Master, I'll take care of this loser."
