Chapter 6: Nirvana
In a land far, far away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small, peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace. For most magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name... is Fairy Tail.
The day started out as a normal day at the guild. People were sitting around and talking, Nab was just staring at the board, Mira was serving drinks, Natsu and Popsicle Stick were fighting until Erza broke them up, Dakura at the bar having a drink and Kaito was next to him reading a book about insects in different countries. Then suddenly Makarov blew open the doors of the guild hall signifying that he was back from the council meeting that he had to go to. He then called over Dakura, Kaito, Erza, Natsu, Popsicle Stick, and Lucy.
"What did you need us for Master?" Erza asked as they all joined him at the bar, and he jumped up on the bar.
"I was just informed that the Oracion Seis has been seen in the Woodworth Sea. The council has asked that Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter to send representatives from each guild to join in dealing with the Oracion Seis. I have decided that Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lucy will be the representatives of the Fairy Tail guild. Dakura and Kaito will you follow me to my office I wish to speak to you privately. I will tell you what you must do when I get back." Makarov said as he hopped of the bar and walked to his office. Dakura and Erza looked at each other and Dakura shrugged and followed the master after grabbing his beer. Kaito followed after his friend and entered the master's office and closed the door behind him. When the two entered Makarov's office they both sat down in chairs across from the the master's desk and waited for what he wanted to say.
"Question: If we are also being sent, which seems obvious, why tell us in private?" Kaito just got straight to the point, determining the purpose of this meeting in a single statement.
"That's simple, I will be sending you two ahead to scout out the area for potential threats, as well as to work as backup in the shadows." Makarov answered the Beetle User
"Then, we need an explanation for why we are there if the others discover and subsequently question us." Dakura provided to the conversation.
"Say you are on a mission, or just come clean if you want, It doesn't matter too much. You are there as a form of backup so as to help take out the Oracion Seis." Makarov stated as Dakura downed the last of his beer and stood up along with Kaito.
"Well the it is probably best we get going early to make sure no one sets traps." Dakura said as he headed for the door. Then Kaito decided to ruin the mood.
"You don't even know where we have to go do you?" Kaito said as Dakura slumped to the floor in depression.
"Did you have to ruin the mood like that?" Dakura whined as he pulled himself off the ground and turned to the smirking Makarov.
"It is a house that Master Bob owns just outside of the Woodworth Sea." Makarov said as Dakura and Kaito nodded and walked out of the master's office and over to their friends.
"So what did the Master want?" Erza asked her brother as they came closer to them.
"He wanted us to go on a job and he wants us to leave immediately." Dakura said as he grabbed his pack that he left at the bar and put his empty beer mug on the bar counter. Dakura and Kaito said bye to their friends and suddenly Dakura pulled Kaito into a shadow to travel faster.
"I TOLD YOU I HATED TRAVELING LIKE THIS YOU BASTARD." Kaito screamed at his friend who just smirked as they melted into the shadow. Everyone in the guild hall just sweatdropped at the interaction of the friends.
(5 Hours Later)
Dakura and Kaito got to the mansion that was the meeting point a few hours early, as planned.
"So, what now? I personally plan to lay out my Beetles so as to scout the surrounding area, as well as serve as an early warning system for enemies." Kaito started.
"Good idea and I will cloak us in darkness so nobody notices us in the rafters of the house and make it so Ichiya can't smell us." Dakura said with a shiver as he remembered the creepy affectionate little goblin.
"As long as we don't go too far, we should be fine. I'm still slightly queasy from the trip here." Kaito complained, holding his stomach in pain.
"Oh come on it isn't that bad." Dakura said as he patted his queasy friend on the back. Kaito just glared at him as he sent out beetles to enact the plan. Once he was done Dakura grabbed Kaito and melted into a nearby shadow and sending them into the rafters of the house owned by Master Bob. After waiting for an hour they saw the people from Blue Pegasus enter and go up the stairs, not noticing their guests in the rafters. After another hour their friends walked in the door and looked around the place, creeped out by Master Bob's decor.
"So are we the first here or what?" Gray asked no one in particular. Suddenly the people from Blue Pegasus came down and introduced themselves to Erza and Lucy not paying attention to Gray or Natsu. When Ichiya went to try and get close to Erza he suddenly tripped and fell face first into the ground, no one noticed the small dark rope coming out of the ground suddenly disappearing. Dakura smirked at the "misfortune" that Ichiya just encountered. Following him tripping, he was launched back towards the door as it was opened, but his head was encased in ice due to a certain pale haired Ice-Make Magic user.
"I would preferably not like to have people thrown at me." Lyon said as he threw Ichiya to the other side of the house. Suddenly the carpet came to life and started to move wildly.
"I know that magic! It's…" Lucy started only to be cut off.
"Why hello again Lucy do you remember me?" Sherry said with a smirk.
"Enough. We are not here to fight but to work together to bring down the Oracion Seis." Jura said as he entered the house. All the fighting immediately stopped in fear of the wizard saint's wrath.
"Now I see that we have 3 of the 4 teams from different guilds. Where is Cait Shelter?" Jura asked as a young girl with blue hair and a blue and yellow dress ran into the house and immediately tripped and fell flat on her face.
"I tell the kid not run in ahead of me, but she does it anyway. What am I going to do with you Wendy?" Was heard from outside the building.
"I know, but she just doesn't listen." At that, the two speakers became evident. One was a 17 year old female, but her height was quite lacking. Standing at only 4'10", she was only two or three inches taller than the now known Wendy. Her Dirty-Blonde hair was kept in a side braid, and her entire body from her neck down to her ankles was covered in a brown cloak, with no hood. She also wore a pair of combat boots. The other was a small bipedal white cat, wearing a yellow dress that had sleeves covering her arms entirely.
"I'm sorry I ran ahead Carla I was just worried that we were going to be late." Wendy said to the cat who was right in front of her.
"Well don't do it again. I worry about you child." Carla said with a small smile to the girl in front of her. At this point everyone was just staring at the newcomers waiting until they were done with their talk.
"Hi we're the representatives from Cait Shelter. I'm Abigail, and this is Wendy and Carla. I hope you weren't waiting for too long." Abigail said with a smile, and Wendy looked around at all of the people that were there. When Wendy looked around the house more her gaze lingered on the spot Dakura and Kaito were hiding at but then went back to the main crowd when they started talking.
"Do you think-" Kaito started but was interrupted by Dakura.
"It's possible, but unlikely. At any rate, we need to be alert, because at any moment the enemy could attack. I think we need to further secure the perimeter… What are you looking at?" Dakura questioned.
"That is not Ichiya."
"What do you mean 'That's not Ichiya' Of course it is."
"Look at how he is moving. It seems off, if only slightly."
"Your right, and he isn't acting all perverted."
"My guess? It's Angel utilizing Gemini to impersonate the little gremlin."
"Get in position above the door, we need to ambush not-Ichiya."
"Move. Now."
"Why?"
"They're heading outside, and Ichiya and Jura are staying behind."
When Dakura and Kaito jumped down and revealed themselves "Ichiya" was just about to pull out one of it's vials and uncork it. Kaito quickly stopped that by sending a beetle to grab the vial before it could do anything.
"Tsk tsk tsk, not so fast Ichiya. OR SHOULD I SAY GEMINI!?" Kaito screamed out to the short redhead, who transformed in a plume of smoke to show two little, blue gremlin like creatures.
"How did you find out?! We can imitate any one perfectly." The Gemini twins said in synch.
"Apparently not because there were slight things that you didn't do that set it off." Dakura said as he started collecting magic in his hands while Kaito formed armor out of Beetle Exoskeletons.
"Well then I guess we need to dispose of you before we continue on with our mission" The Gemini twins said as they turned into Jura and got in a fighting pose. Dakura and Kaito both smirked and charged the wizard saint look-a-like.
AN: Another chapter down. Chapters will now be coming out more frequently because both me and my Beta are done with school for the summer. We will most likely be posting at least one chapter a week. Dakura is 21 and Kaito is 20. I am giving ages because it was not addressed in the first chapter that we described them in. Next chapter will involve lots of fighting so get ready for that. Until Next Time. See Yah!
