Let us continue. BTW, I should probably warn all the hardcore Fairy Tail fans that most of the stuff I know is from the wiki...yeah, and can someone please tell me how to get more episodes in dubbed form? I know Hulu has up to 58 and resumes at 220, and there are other websites but still.
"What are you talking about James?" Makarov asks
"I can gather more fighters, and I know for a fact that you'll need them."
"No, this is a Fairy Tail matter, and I have full confidence in all of my children."
"But master-"
"Enough! We march for the Phantom Lord Guild immediately!"
James sighed as he watched the guild leave. Cana fixed him with a glare as she passed him. He knew for a fact that the Phantom Lord Guild at least tripled the number of wizards Fairy Tail had. Even though he wanted pay back for imprisoning him for spell practice, James knew he had to get more fighers. While everyone else left, James headed for the Southern Wolves to find his fighters.
It took a good couple of hours to arrive at the Southern Wolves Hall (A.N. don't know the actual location so...*shrugs*) and sees one of his brothers, Will, sitting at a table drinking.
"James...heh, five long years, and you walk in like nothing's happened." Will says, shaking his head
Will is the older brother by one year, and was the most physically strong in the family.
"I need you and some strong men-"
"I'm not gonna bring any members of my guild into our problem unless you can give me a good reason."
"...Cana."
"Who?"
"The girl...from when we were younger? ...her guild is going to be crushed, I know that for a fact. I don't want to see her dead."
"Who are they up against?"
"Phantom Lord."
Will spits out his drink and has a glint in his eyes.
"Those assholes? Why didn't you say that in the first place? Think they're so high and mightly. Besides, they must have some valuables in that Guild Hall of theirs."
"So you'll fight with me?"
"Yes, and I'll bring as many men as I can, of course you should get a head start, we'll arrive later."
"Alright then...I'll see you there."
"By the way, when this is over we are going to talk about why you left."
James made his way back to the Fairy Tail Hall, where the members were just returning, looking down hearted. He knew they would blame him for not being there to help but still continued on. Once he got downstairs James would see everyone preparing for battle once more, only much less enthusiastically. He could see Cana looking at her cards, and throwing them into the air in fustration. Mirajane was contacting Loxas on a Crystal Ball, but offered no help. She then filled James in on how Lucy was the target and how Natsu rescued her.
James then walked over to Cana, who turned her head away from him when he sat down next to her.
"I heard about the master's problem, and I'm sorry I couldn't be of assistance."
"You're sorry? You thnk that's going to change anything?"
"No...but it's all I can offer right now."
"All you can offer? You could have fought with us, you could have been there!"
"I was gathering troops!"
"We don't need them! We needed you! I needed you!"
"...I'm not the same man I was before, and my magic is...changed, destructive."
"So? Everyone's magic is destructive in some way."
They didn't have time to continue their conversation, when a Fairy Tail wizard called eeryone outide, A large moving castle was approaching the Hall, and the Southern Wolves were just arriving.
"Hey James, I've brought some men. Where do you need 'em?"
"Right now, get them ready to defend this area and have them form a perimeter. Have those with Guns set up on top of the surrounding buildings."
"You got it. Move it men!"
Will starts barking orders to his men and James pulls out his canteen and takes a large gulp. He then focuses his magic and channels it. Erza, from Team Natsu, looks at Will, and can't help but feel she knows him from somewhere. Soon the mobile castle had arrived, and the master of the Phantom Lord Guild gave them a chance to surrender.
The Fairy TailGuild gave their response, no, and shouted in defiance. The guild master then charged up the Jupiter Cannon, and Erza requipped into Adamantine Armor and takes the blast at full force. Erza is then knocked out from the blast and taken inside to rest up. The master then sends out dark cloaked creatures.
"These are shade creatures. They'll sap you of your strength is they get too close." James says
Two gun wizards nodded to each other and took the floor, blasting away at the creatures and obliterating them, only to have even more arrive. James saw Team Natsu head to the castle. He decided to keep fighting and let them do their thing, until the summoning circle was being made, and decided it was time for him to make his move.
"Will! Time to go and check out the Phantom Lord's castle."
"About time, I was getting bored with these things."
James and Will then charged to the castle, where they met with a few weak member of the guild. The two easily dispatched them, and headed for the top. They stumbled upon Erza facing off against a large man who uses Wind Magic.
They watched as Erza cut him down and incapacitate him, and after which appraoched her. Natsu was holding her up, and she told him to unleash the power inside of him. Natsu then shot up nito the ceiling to face the Iron Dragon Slayer. James and Will helped Erza up, with Erza giving Will a searching look.
"I feel like I know you from somewhere." Erza says
"Well, you're right, we do know each other, but we can discuss that later."
Erza was set against a pillar to rest a bit when Gray Elfman, and Mirajane entered. A dark cloak surrounded the area then, giving everyone but James a strange feeling of fear.
"It's Jose, I recognize that aura anywhere." James says
"Well well well, I am quite surprised to see you again Mr. Winter."
"Jose, your death will be worth the pain, worth the blood!"
James charges at the master and tries nailing him with a right hook, only to miss and be flung back into the pillars. Will, Gray, Elfman, and Mirajane were blasted away into some debris. Erza made her stand, and after a heated battle she was caught in some restraining tendrals, and was going to be used to make Fairy Tail surrender.
James quietly crawled towards Jose, and hid under some rubble. Once he was hidden, Makarov appeared and dispelled the tendrils and challenged Jose. Makarov let the younger people leave before envoking Wizard Law. A bright light was emitted from the castle, and after a brief moment the light dissipated and Jose was standing completely still and blanched.
James reached out from under the rubble and grabbed onto Jose's leg, draining him of power. James then emerged from the rubble and pulled Jose onto the ground.
"How does that feel? HUH! All the pain you made me endure, all the suffering, just because I'm connected with Zeref!"
"You're what!?" Makarov yells
James continues to drain Jose of power for another minute before letting go.
"...What a weakling. I wasn't even trying when you attacked me, I was just buying time to catch you off guard."
"James, what do you mean you're connected with Zeref?"
"Well, once I left Fairy Tail five years ago, I was met by a young man, who brought me to a Western Island. Where the Alvarez Empire resides."
"What!?"
"You seem to be saying that a lot lately. Anyways, as I was saying, I was brought to the Alvarez Empire, where the man revealed himself to be Zeref. Surprised, right? He told me he could feel my power even from his empire, but it was unchanneled and wild. He told me he could help me, train me, and make me powerful enough to protect those I care about."
"Then you were a fool! I never knew you would be foolish enough to believe the lies of that dark wizard!"
"He's not just a dark wizard! He gave me purpose after you un-officially expelled me!"
"Not everyone wanted you gone. Mira for one was sad with your departure and-"
"I don't want to talk about the past. Besides, we should be going back to the guild before they get worried."
Makarov walked over to the exposed ledge of the building and tells his children that the victory belongs to them. James left gramps to do his thing, and went off to find his brother, who he guessed had started looting the place after the light died down. Sure enough, James found Will with a few of his men carrying heavy and expensive looking items to a few boats.
"Will, looks like you're making a profit."
"Not yet, first we need to get these things out of here. Now would be a good time to have that talk though."
James recounted the tale he told Makarov, but this time he added in the two of the five years where he had been captured by Jose. James also mentioned his new abilities he gained while studying under Zeref.
"Also...while I was training with Zeref, I met a woman named Dimaria and well...we got close."
"What about this Cana girl?"
"That's the point I'm going to get to. In the three years I was at the Alvarez Empire I was mad at her, and took out my fustration with her on Dimaria through...very pleasurable means."
"Wait, you're saying that my younger brother lost his virginity before me?"
"SHUT UP! IT'S EMBARASSING ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THIS!"
"Alright already, so what are you going to do?"
"Right now, try and gain Cana's friendship again, which is proving to be difficult already."
"Well, just make sure no one besides the master know about your powers."
"I know, Dark Void and Leech Magic are not looked highly upon."
"Well, this is it. Take care of yourself little cup."
James and Will share a brotherly hug and James watches Will depart with the ships. It would take more time to arrive back at the Southern Wolves Hall, but the rewards would be worth it.
After Will was far from his sight, James left the rubble of the Phantom Lord Castle and saw the Fairy Tail Guild celebrating amongst themselves. James could see Cana chugging down a barrel of alcohol from a large barrel and laughed to himself. Eventually he joined in on the celebrations and drunk himself until he passed out.
The next day James wakes up in the basement of the Guild and found himself sprawled across a large number of wooden mugs with a huge headache. He could also spot more wizards in similar disarray just getting up.
Makarov and Erza had everyone start re-construction, but it wasn't long before the Rune Knights came a started rounding everyone up for investigations. James was brought to a higher ranking Rune Knight since he had been missing for five years and they were interested in knowing where he was.
It was a surprise when the ranking Rune Knight turned out to be an envoy of Zeref's, who was tasked with delivering him a message.
"James, I have recieved word that you have escaped and defeated Jose. Very good. When you return to us Dimaria has some news for you."
"Don't worry master, I'll be returning all in due time."
A.N. Alright, that's the end for this chapter. Since most of the episodes (59-219) are not dubbed on Hulu it's more difficult for me. I'm glad to have something (sub and Youtube reactions) but it's a bit difficult. I might update The Wolf's Key, but it'll be a while
Reviews would be appreciated
Anyways stay awesome guys and gals of the world and I'll see you next chapter
