A/N: So here's the next chapter. I didn't realize I hadn't updated recently until I got a certain review asking me to update. I can't deny a request from Wendy so here is the next chapter. If you enjoy Follow, Favorite, and/or Review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Romeo was being chased through a forest by a powerful, unknown being. He ran and tried to hide. Romeo jumped and slid into a log and hoped that he wouldn't be seen. Just then something landed nearby making a loud thump as it hit the ground. Romeo stayed completely quiet trying to stay hidden. After a moment, the log was thrown, hitting a tree and breaking with Romeo falling into the ground.
"What are you doing hiding like a coward, did your teacher teach you this?" the being asked.
Romeo looked up and saw Acnologia standing above him in his dragon form.
"Well I don't have a chance to beat you. What did you expect me to do?" Romeo asked.
Acnologia brought his claw down hitting Romeo. At that moment, Romeo woke up in a cold sweat. Romeo started to hyperventilate. Romeo started to calm down and controlled his breathing. Romeo looked at his clock and saw that I was 11:35. He realized that he was back in his room at the third base. Romeo got up and started to get dressed for the day. Romeo put a sleeveless shirt over his bandaged body and threw on a pair of jeans. Romeo left his room and headed for the bar.
Once Romeo got there he saw Shelby at the bar. Romeo took a seat near Shelby.
"What can I get for you?" Shelby asked.
"Breakfast, anything is fine." Romeo replied.
"Sure thing." Shelby said as he left to head towards the kitchen.
Romeo sat at the bar, his body still aching from his fight the previous day. Romeo heard the conversations that were going on at the bar.
"See, he really did just bring trouble with him."
"He's nothing more than a burden. Him and his whole group."
"All of them are useless, they couldn't even take down a group of mages."
Romeo stood up and faced where the other people were sitting
"Do any of you have the balls to say it to my face or are you going to keep talking behind my back." Romeo asked.
Most people looked away or tried to look oblivious to the situation. One man stood up and walked over to Romeo. The man easily towered over Romeo and had a scar that went across his face.
"You and your group are just a bunch of useless burdens. You couldn't even beat some mages." the man told Romeo.
"If you tried to fight them with the strength they used on us, then you'd be dead." Romeo replied.
Romeo turned to sit back in his chair. The man went to try and stab him with a large knife. Romeo caught the man's arm, broke it, then placed the knife on the man's neck, still holding the broken arm.
"Boom, dead." Romeo said as he threw the man back towards the table he came from.
Romeo sat back in his seat and the bar became quiet. Shelby came by and gave Romeo a glass of orange juice and an omelet.
"You didn't have to cause a scene like you did. You could have just knocked him out." Shelby told Romeo.
"I know, I'm just a bit upset right now. Two of my teammates are injured because I didn't notice that we were being followed." Romeo replied.
"Well it isn't your fault. When your dragon slayer magic was sealed, most of your super senses were reduced." Shelby commented.
"I should have unsealed my magic sooner." Romeo said as he punched the bar.
"Hey punching the bar won't make your frustrations go away." Jeremiah said as he walked over. "If anyone is to blame it's me, I should have gotten there faster."
"No one could have known they were tracking you. Now you just have to move on and be glad that they only had those injuries." Shelby told the two. "Think about who you fought. You fought against multiple powerful mages from your old guild. Most people couldn't do that and escape."
"And now Evan is unable to fight for a while since he has multiple broken ribs and a broken arm. Emma needs to wait for her wounds to heal since she took a large cut. I was there and I couldn't protect them." Romeo explained.
"Then let me give you an opportunity to take the fight to the guilds." The boss said as he appeared behind Romeo.
"What do you got?" Romeo asked.
"A team of mages is supposed to be going on a mission and passing nearby pretty soon. We need to show the guilds what happens when they mess with our own." The boss revealed.
"That sounds like a great way to strike back." Jeremiah replied.
"Great because you and Terra are taking that job." The boss told Jeremiah. " I'm sending Romeo on a job more fit for his skills."
All of the major guilds were all gathered together in the Fairy Tail guildhall. Sabertooth, Mermaid Heel, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus, all came at Laxus' request. They were all getting loud until Erza yelled at them to quiet down.
"All right, I've gathered you here because I have found proof of a new enemy. I now know that there is an organization working in the shadows. Romeo Conbolt is a part of this organization and I believe that the people who attacked Kagura and Beth and the person who attack the Sabertooth guild hall also belong to this organization." Laxus informed everyone.
"Have you found out where they are located yet," Jura asked.
"Not yet but we have an idea where they may be located." Laxus replied.
"Not saying I don't believe you because I do, but why is this a threat big enough that you called the guild alliance together?" Goldmine asked.
"Some of our mages recently tried to attack some of their people. They fought the two who Kagura fought and Romeo as well. They caused major injuries to Mirajane, Elfman, Cana and Lisanna, and fought off Natsu, Pantherlily and Gajeel before they made their escape." Laxus explained.
"So they aren't just any old group of bandits then." Lyon confirmed.
"Romeo can also apparently use dragon slayer magic." Gajeel announced. "He said that he was taught by a living dragon. He uses Gale Dragon slayer magic."
"Wait, so they possibly are also teamed up with a dragon then?" Sting asked.
"We aren't sure at this point in time." Laxus replied.
"With his magic, he was able to fight against Gajeel and myself." Natsu revealed.
"Where did he get this strength from?" Rufus asked.
"He somehow sealed only his dragon slayer magic with a powerful seal. He broke the seal when we were fighting against him." Cana answered.
"Just tell me where Romeo is and I'll knock some sense into him." Chelia told Laxus. "I can't believe he did something like this."
"As his girlfriend, you should kick his ass for doing this." Cana replied.
"I is there is a line for that and I'm first." Gajeel shouted.
"Tell us, how can we help with this?" Kagura asked.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you all about. We need people who can find them and quickly. I'm expecting them to retaliate but I'm not sure how." Laxus responded.
"We'll find them and we won't let them escape. Now we will be one step ahead of them." Sting shouted.
Just then, the doors to the guildhall flew opened and Mest stood there out of breath.
"Mest what's wrong?" Laxus asked.
"I *huff* just found out, some rune knights just found about five dead bodies floating down a river near where Dobengal died. They were all from Lamia Scale." Mest revealed.
"They dare kill my children, I'll kill them!" Obaa screamed.
"Do we know who did this?" Laxus asked.
"The rune knights are unsure of who did this. They are trying to figure it out as we speak." Mest answered.
"Tell me where to go and I shall retrieve their heads." Kagura announced. "That was definitely a declaration of war."
"All right, we have an idea of where their base is but we aren't sure. Some bandits that Dobengal arrested told us that they believed there was a large group gathered in the forest near where Dobengal died. Whenever they sent someone in that area, they never returned. We should send our forces ready to fight in case they are there." Laxus revealed. " I need volunteers to go."
"You know that I'm going." Kagura replied.
"I'm going." Jura said.
"As are we." The Trimen revealed.
"Team Natsu's ready to go." Natsu shouted.
"I'm need to go smack some sense into my boyfriend so I'm going." Chelia explained.
"I'm going as well." Lyon revealed.
"You know that I'm getting involved." Gajeel shouted.
"If Gajeel is going then so am I." Pantherlily said.
"I want to go show these these fools why they shouldn't mess with the guilds." Bacchus yelled.
"If they wish to cause a threat to the magic world then I'll come along as well." Jellal announced as he appeared from the shadows."
"Great, anyone else who wants to get involves can, we need people to be on standby in case anyone tries to escape." Laxus announced.
"So, when do we attack?" Sting asked.
"In 3 days, we will launch our assault." Laxus replied.
Queen Hisui was exhausted from her busy day. She had many meetings and had found out then multiple mages had been murdered on top of it. With the day finally over, she walked to her bedroom hoping to finally get a chance to relax. Once she got there, she sat at a desk and began to write in a book.
"You know, for a royal castle, I expected the place to have better security." a voice informed.
Hisui jumped up, surprised to hear that someone was in the room with her.
"Relax, I'm not here to hurt you. And if you call guards in here then that would just make things more difficult."
"Then why don't you show yourself to me instead of hiding in the shadows?" Hisui asked.
Romeo appeared from behind a chair with a disappointed expression on his face.
"I hoped that you were going to notice me at some point." Romeo replied.
"Well I didn't expect to see you, especially since you are a wanted criminal now. What do you want from me?" Hisui asked.
"Nothing major I just have a simple request, I have a proposal for you." Romeo revealed.
"Which is?" Hisui asked.
"The disbandment of all magic guilds within Fiore." Romeo answered.
"You realize how insane you sound right now right?" Hisui asked.
"I know but you don't really have too much room to argue now do you?" Romeo replied.
"You don't seriously think I can get something like this to happen." Hisui wondered.
"Well just look at the situation you are in, someone broke into your castle. There are many ways that this could end." Romeo told Hisui.
Hisui got up and walked over towards her bed. "But I know that you won't do anything, will you?"
"You are right, you aren't just a foolish queen like many believe you to be." Romeo commented.
"Well why are you here, you wouldn't just come here just to give me your proposal. What reason are you really here." Hisui asked.
"Well the reason I originally came here is finished, this is more of a personal reason." Romeo replied.
"What ever happened to you? Why did a mage like you decide to become a criminal?" Hisui asked.
"Do you seriously want to know or are you just trying to buy time?" Romeo asked.
"Well I did ask you, now didn't I?" Hisui replied.
"It all started when I was a child. I was born with a weak body that couldn't hold much magic. While most don't know this, it is a closely guarded secret. Would you like to know how I learned of this? I wanted to know why my mother wasn't around. Either nobody knew or they didn't want to know. After about eight months of searching I learned my first secret, my mother did illegal testing on me to try and give my body more magic." Romeo revealed. "Can you believe that, she experimented on her own son."
"And this threw you down this path?" Hisui asked.
"No, this didn't. I decided I wanted to learn what other secrets the guild was hiding. I learned about many things, the reason Alvarez attacked us, How much money the guild pays in property damage, the truth about Laxus' parents, Makarov's shady spy, and all by the time most of the guild disappeared." Romeo explained.
"So you became interested in secrets then." Hisui confirmed.
"That's right, and I wanted to learn more. But now, the guild's secrets weren't enough. I went and investigated other guilds and even your own family. It might seem crazy but by the time I was twelve, I learned some crazy shit. I learned secrets that only were only known to few. But then, I learned about something that even surprised me. I learned that your father, King Toma made a deal that he believed would would calm tensions between Fiore and Alvarez, do you know about deal?" Romeo asked.
"No I didn't even know my father made a deal with Alvarez." Hisui answered.
"Maybe you should look into it. But moving on, I learned that each guild had one thing in common, they were all flawed with this 'family' ideal. Sabertooth was different for a while but they had different issues. Now where was I? Now I remember, by then the Grand Magic Games were over and the whole Eclipse incident was hidden from everyone. But I also met a man who taught me my magic. Not the fire magic, but my gale magic. He revealed to make the truth and I decided I would follow him. Except like the other dragon slayers, he eventually abandoned me. All this before the fight with Tartaros. I decided to stay in Fairy Tail since I didn't have anything better to do at that point. Afterwards, I met one of my current companions and became a spy. I learned many things and never received suspicion." Romeo revealed.
"So was your relationship with Chelia all a lie then?" Hisui asked.
"No, I do love her but I can't let her stick with a bastard like myself. The next time I see her i need to break up with her." Romeo replied.
"Then what are you doing here?" Hisui asked.
"Fulfilling my mission and getting information. I'm not trying to sound creepy but thin isn't the first time I've been in your room." Romeo revealed.
"You never told me what happened to your mother." Hisui commented.
"That's right, well Makarov and Macao decided it was best to just remove her, permanently." Romeo replied. "If you want to know more than you should use your authority to find out."
Just then, there was a knock at the door followed by a voice. "Your highness, your presence in needed immediately."
"That's my cue to leave, I enjoyed our chat and I'll be looking forward to our future chats."
Romeo said as he leaped out the window.
Hisui walked over and opened the door.
"What is important enough that you'd need to bother me at this time?" Hisui asked.
"I'm sorry to tell you this but a maid just found Arcadios dead in his room. It seems like he was murdered." the guard revealed.
The color faded from Hisui's face as she heard the guard's words.
"Murdered." Hisui whispered.
Romeo sat in a bar with his face with a hood. He sat drinking in a booth in the corner of the room. He ate food, listening to conversations he heard. Except, he seemed to be listening for something specific. Then, somebody walked into the room and sat at the bar. Romeo got up and walked over to them. The guy had black hair with white hair scattered around. He wore a gray coat which was zipped up.
"Yo salt and pepper, can you buy me a drink?" Romeo asked the man.
"Don't you currently owe me a drink?" the man asked.
"Well Haise, I'm a bit low on the old money and I can use a drink. I'll pay you back later if that's fine." Romeo suggested.
"Fine but I'm going to start adding interest." Haise replied.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" Romeo asked.
"The guilds are planning something big. They are going to attack in the next couple days." Haise revealed.
"Seriously, I didn't think they'd be ready to retaliate this quickly." Romeo commented. "So do you have any special requests?"
"Just make sure that nobody hurts Wendy too much. Anyone else, I don't give a damage about." Haise replied.
"Aren't you just adorable, all right, I'll make sure she comes home mostly fine." Romeo responded.
"So, I heard what you are planning. A little scaley bird have me a heads up." Haise revealed. "What's the end goal?"
"Who knows?" Romeo said as he started to walk out of the bar.
"Weren't you just asking me for a drink?" Haise asked.
"Changed my mind, I'm feeling like I'd rather have a rarer meal. Something that try burning my house down. Either that or something that would huff and puff." Romeo said with a mischievous look.
Once Romeo disappeared from sight, Haise turned around and looked for the bartender.
"That idiots going to be the end of me."
A/N: So in the next chapter, all hell is breaking loose. Hope you are all enjoying the story. Until next time.
