I do not own Fairy Tail in any way, shape or form. I do however own my OC and his gear (not the concepts behind them)
Leaving the guildhall, Korogra returned to his mansion to pack up. As he was going through his armory he muttered, "A snake-like creature eh? Well all the snake creatures I've previously encountered had abilities that caused me all kinds of issues... and since this one's an unknown I should bring my potion making ingredients incase I need to make an antidote for whatever it could affect me with." Putting his ingredients and tools in a pouch before sending it to his pocket space, moving to his weapon wall he said, "Since I really have no idea what I'm dealing with I'll just cover my bases, let's see I'll need some range while also being able to pierce armor and still do a lot of damage. It might also help to have rapid fire. I also want to minimize damage to the surroundings so heavy artillery is out of the question. If I have to get up close and personal I'll need to be quick while retaining power and being able to cut through defense so two-handed weapons are out, so are hammers. Ah there we go." He then moved to armor and said, "Once again gonna cover my bases, speed and protection is most important also need to take mobility and defense from magic. And if it gets really bad I can always use that."
Packing his gear and supplies he made his way to the train station and said, "I'd like to buy a ticket to Organox." The ticket man said, "business or pleasure?" Showing the mission request, he responded, "Business." Before showing his guild mark. The ticket man nodded, "Alright, best of luck to you then. I've heard terrible rumors of that creature." Moving to the boarding platform he saw several people in fancy garb and asked, "What's with all the people in formal wear?" The chef responded, "They're heading to Parjiok Heights, and where are you going?" Korogra simply responded, "Organox, I've got a mission there." The chef said, "Ah, someone's taken up dealing with the snake beast that showed up about 4 years ago. Good, there are many passengers who're unnerved by the beast, it may not seem like it but this train has suffered from bad business due to it. See you on board." Korogra waved before joining the passengers as the conductor called, "Allllll Aboooaaard!" Showing his ticket to the conductor he was told, "Ah, a round trip to Organox. On you're way to see if you can do anything about that snake I see." Korogra nodded and the conductor said, "Everything's in order, your room is number 6." Thanking him, Korogra found his room and set his bag on the couch before deciding to take a nap. Only a few minutes later he woke up to someone panicking in the hall, rubbing sleep from his eyes he opened his door and sleepily followed the screaming eventually making his way to the dining car and asked, "The hell is with all the screaming?" Seeing him the chef said, "Ah, mister wizard please help me! Someone's gone and stolen the pot of soup that was to be dinner for the passengers!"
Hearing this Korogra said, "I'll find it for ya." He then found a splotch on the carpet and followed the trail of broth to a cabin. Opening the door he saw a heavy-set man that could only be considered a Gourmet. Sighing, Korogra asked, "You just couldn't wait for the soup because it smelled so good and stole the entire pot which you then completely drained... Right?" The Gourmet bowed his head in shame and said, "Yes, it's true." Korogra said, "Well come on, you need to apologize to the chef. I'll carry the pot." Returning to the dining car the Gourmet deeply apologized to everyone, forgiving him the Chef mentioned he was glad someone liked his soup enough to steal a pot. An hour later a self-proclaimed detective recruited Korogra as his assistant, to which he replied, "Eh, might as well. It's going to be awhile before we get to my stop." He then returned to his cabin for the night. The next morning he was informed of a string of thefts on the train, a businessman's briefcase which contained blueprints of a special syrup that could potentially recover someone's magic, the waitress's seashell earrings, and a celebrity's gold ring. Agreeing to keep an eye out, he wandered around the train until he heard a commotion from one of the rear rooms. Entering he saw a family that he vaguely recognized, the mother and father were arguing what to get their son for his birthday. Only when he asked, "Um, am I interrupting something?" The father said, "No no, what can I do for y..." he stopped when he saw Korogra and said, "Well I'll be damned, you're Auron Fury. We saw you at the Blitz Palace last year, well done lad." Scratching the back of his head Korogra responded, "Thanks, so what's going on?" The mother said, "Well, our boy's birthday is coming up soon and I keep telling my husband we should get him some books." The father interjected, "My dear, little Matthew doesn't want books he wants one of our numerous properties."
As they argued Matthew told him, "I don't want books or one of dad's properties Auron, I actually want something to do with trains." Korogra kneeled and said, "I'll see what I can do, in the mean time why don't you write a list of other things you want. Once you finish you could give it to your parents so they can decide what to get you, alright?" Matthew said, "Thanks Auron." Leaving the compartment, he made his way to the engine room and said, "Excuse me sir." The engineer turned and asked, "Yes, what can I do for you Mr. Kanbara?" He responded, "The little boy from the family onboard is a big fan of trains, because of this he wants some thing train-related for his birthday which is coming up soon. The first thing that came to mind was an autograph from the guy who keeps the train operational, you." The engineer was startled and said, "Really? A kid from a rich family wants my autograph, it's an honor." Smiling, Korogra handed him a picture of the train that he bought the day before and a pen saying, "Here you go, the kids name is Matthew. I don't really know his last name though." Signing he handed it back then asked, "Sorry but, seeing you up close you look very familiar. Have we met before?" Korogra said, "Well last year I did soar through the Blitz Palace's rankings faster then even the first champion. You may have seen one of my bouts." The engineer realized who Korogra was and said, "That's where I know you from! You're Auron Fury!" Korogra chuckled, "Take it you want my autograph in exchange for yours to little Matthew?" He was speechless and merely nodded. Taking out one of his posters from his time at Blitz Palace he signed it and gave it to the engineer. On his way back he noticed it was starting to get dark, so he grabbed something from the dining car before entering the family's compartment and said, "Hey Matthew, I got the thing you wanted." Matthew responded, "Thanks Auron." Before he was handed the engineer's autograph, with stars in his eyes Matthew asked, "I'll bet you have tons of benefits from being the reigning Blitz Palace champion." Patting his head Korogra responded, "Honestly, I'm surprised people still remember my time there. I thought I'd fade into obscurity like my Minor League buddy Captain K. last I heard he went home to relax. Anyway, I don't really get many benefits until they realize who I am, truth be told it often feels like they only care about my fame and not the person beneath it all."
Leaving the family behind, he saw the conductor shivering and asked, "What's the matter?" He responded, "I was handing out blankets, but I miscounted and had to give mine to a passenger." Korogra muttered, "Something's not adding up... someone must've gotten an extra." Korogra said, "Hey don't worry, I'll figure things out." He then went to the engineer who was on his third cup of coffee, as he had to stay awake in order to keep the train going, he then told Korogra that he's heard strange sounds from compartment 4. Taking the advice he went to the cabin and requipped into some special armor that let him fade into shadows. Soon a ghost appeared, revealing himself Korogra said, "Take it you're the one who got the conductors blanket?" The ghost said, "Yes, many years ago I passed away in this very room. However as my diary is likely still in the baggage car I can't leave just yet. Please return it to me, should you read it you will find a terrible fate awaits you." Returning to the conductor, Korogra said, "It turns out you gave your blanket to the ghost of the man who passed away in cabin 4 years ago, however as his diary is still in the baggage car he's yet to leave." Nodding the conductor said, "Thank you, go ahead and return his diary to him." Before stepping aside, minding the privacy of other passengers he rooted around until he found the diary in question. Exiting the car he gave the conductor a brief nod before entering cabin 4 and returning the diary to the ghost, before saying, "Well, its time I turn in for the night. Either pass on or stay I don't really care." he then returned to his room and quickly fell asleep.
A/N: I'm gon a stop there, next time Korogra continues his mission and I'll go from there.
