Chapter TWENTY TWO

Sting stiffened. "You defeated Natsu-san?" He glanced around wildly, as if looking for some sort of proof.

Jellal nodded in confirmation, while Lucy smile proudly.

Darque narrowed her eyes. "Now, are you going to listen to me?"

When no one replied, she nodded in satisfaction. "Now, as I was saying, staying together will help us protect one another." She said. "When one of us holds the binding ceremony, the other can sense it. We'll hold ours after we have settled and I will tell you once Lite has chosen is candidates."

Lucy frowned. "Before, you said that we don't want too many recruits. Why's that? I mean, doesn't more people give us an advantage?"

Darque nodded. "Yes, but both of us can only recruit limited amount of people." She said. "Both of us can only have two candidates at the max. Then, each of us can only have the same amount of recruits the other has. We start of with five empty slots, excluding the candidates. Once both of us have filled in the five spots, we can decide whether or not we can recruit more. Five is the minimum."

She paused. "If one of us decides that five is enough, they can...'close' the recruitment. This way, the other cannot recruit anymore people." She looked around at the blank faces. "Uh, okay..."

"Say both Lite and I have five recruits." She started. "And I don't want to recruit anymore." She reached into her cloak and pulled out the scroll. "Then all I have to do is rip this. Then Lite's is automatically destroyed as well, and therefore, we can't recruit anymore people." She said. "But since we only have for so far, neither of us can destroy it." She stated. "As long as both scrolls are intact, we can recruit one person at a time. Then we have to wait for the other to recruit one, before we can recruit another."

Lucy managed to wrap her mind around the piece of information before anyone, and was the first to recover. "So you can tell when Lite performs the binding ceremony, or if he recruits someone?" She asked.

Darque nodded. "Yes." She said.

"Now that Cobra, Midnight and Jellal are no longer considered criminals, we'll have no problem creating a guild and presenting them as members." Darque said. She clapped her hands together in front of her and held them there. The spirit began to emit an eerie glow and mist began to surround her. A good ten seconds later, the light vanished to reveal Darque in her battle mode.

Lucy looked at her questioningly but Darque just nodded at her.

"I need to be in this form to perform any sort of magic. This is my biggest handicap, and transforming into my battle form without being summoned in it can take time." Darque explained. "However, once I manage to unlock my Cursed Darkness Magic, I can battle in any form."

Jellal tapped his chin. "Then why didn't you just ask one of us?" He asked.

Darque smiled. "I just wanted to see how long I took to transform." She said. "Let's say that I had already been summoned, but I am not in your view. Then you can't call me back into the spirit world." She said.

Lucy frowned. "Huh?"

Darque smiled apologetically. "In other words, you can only send me back to the spirit world when you can see me." She said. "Which means if you and I were in different places and you were attacked, you cannot send me back, then call me until me see each other again." Darque stated. "Unless I unlock my true magic."

"Oh." Jellal said. "But that isn't a very big problem, is it?" He asked.

Darque shrug. "If Lite ambushed me while I was alone, I'd have to be able to defend myself. During the time I take to transform, I am vulnerable." She said. "So I need to try and unlock my Cursed Darkness magic." Sting opened his mouth. "Which I have no idea how to." Darque finished with a pointed look sent towards the White Dragon slayer, who closed his mouth.

"Hang on." Lucy said. When I sent you over to Jellal, you came back without me." She said.

Darque shrug. "That time, Jellal sent me back." She said. "I can travel freely through the gate, as long as you can see me or I can see you."

Jellal thought over this. "So when you went to...er...speak to the council..."

Darque nodded. "I came back here before I went back to the spirit world."

"That is also why you guys need to master the strongest type of magic I can offer you." She said.

Lucy smiled. "I already can already use Illusion magic." She said. Jellal nodded as a 'me too'.

Darque looked surprised, which soon melted into a grin. "Then I guess I can skip all the other types of magic and move to the strongest."

"What type of magic is it?" Lucy asked.

Darque smiled. "Black Hole magic." She said.

Rogue frowned thoughtfully. "Can't Gravity magic users create Black Holes?" He asked.

Darque nodded. "Yes, they can." Sting opened his mouth to object but Darque didn't give him the chance.

"However, the type of Black Hole magic I am going to teach you is way more powerful." She said. "You can use it as means of offence and defense during fights. You can also teleport from place to place as well as use it to store things."

Lucy felt excitement bubble inside her. If she could master it, she wouldn't have to depend solely on her spirits.

Darque transformed back into her normal form. "Now, our guild." She said. "Once we have sorted it out, we'll hold the binding ceremony."

Darque disappeared back into the spirit world and came back a few moment later, holding a piece of paper. She handed it Lucy who gave it a quick look-over.

"A Legal guild?" She asked. "Wouldn't it be easier for all of us if we were an Independent guild?"

Darque rubbed the back of her head. "Oh, yeah. I know, but the one requirement the Council gave me was that if we were to form a guild, we need it to be legal, as the Council said that they want to keep an eye on us." She said. "They already gave us permission, but said that if they think any of the former criminals are going back to their old ways, they wont hesitate to arrest them."

Lucy nodded. "I guess I understand."

Midnight, who had been so quiet to the point Lucy though he had been asleep, spoke up. "I never knew creating a guild was so...troublesome." He yawned.

Cobra nodded. "When Oración Seis was first formed, all we did was announce ourselves as a guild." He chuckled.

Midnight paused, as if a sudden thought had dawned him. "The Grand Magic games..." He trailed off.

Lucy glanced at him. "What about them?"

Midnight looked wide awake now. "If we're a legal guild, we can enter, right?"

Cobra's eye widened. "Yeah, I think we can." He said, then smirked.

"I've always wanted to enter them, once." Midnight muttered, then closed his eyes again.

Cobra chuckled, then shot a glare at Sting. "Says the Blonde idiot."

Lucy looked offended, until Cobra glanced at her. "I said blonde, not Blondie."

Sting looked startled. "What?" He asked.

Cobra smirked, then tapped his ear. "I can hear you." He said, then narrowed his eye. "I am not an idiot."

Sting's eyes widened. "Wha-?"

Rogue grasped his partner's shoulder. "Cobra can read people's thoughts." He said. "I told you that already."

Sing frowned. "Oh, yeah." He said, then whipped around to point at the Poison Dragon slayer. "But that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"No one said you have to like it." Cobra said.

Midnight covered his ears. "You guys are so noisy." He complained. Rogue nodded in agreement.

Lucy finally stood up. "Guys." She said. "We need to fill in this-"

Sting interrupted her. "Not now Blondie. I need to teach the Idiot a lesson."

Cobra smirked. "Right back at you."

Lucy began to release a deadly aura. Jellal abruptly stood up. "I, uh, need to go to the bathroom." He said, then darted out of the room.

Lucy stormed up to the two arguing Dragon slayers. "Lucy..." Her eyes flashed. "KICK!"

Lucy's apartment was quiet for the rest of the day.

Hello people! Here's the new chapter.

Sorry about the continuous boring chapters, but we promise, action will start soon.

-Can you guys give us some ideas on Guild names?

-Also, should they enter the GMG? I know with all the Lite VS Darque thing going on, it might be hard but we think it might be interesting.

-And, should Fairy tail notice Lucy's absence and chase after her and find her with Jellal and co?

We know Sting is pretty OOC at the moment, but we didn't know how to make him act, especially at all the new information. Let's just say his mind is...malfunctioning. :D

Darque: Does Midnight seem OOC as well?

Raven: I think you're making him a bit too cute.

Darque: Cute?

Raven: Yeah. Like, him covering his ears when Sting and Cobra were arguing and when he said he wanted to enter the GMG.

Darque: Well, I think I like cute Midnight, but I'll try to fix it.
