-Arc 1 - Family Issues-

-Chapter 1-

-Bounty Hunter's Meet Up-

In a dreary, rundown, wooden tavern on the waterfront of Hargeon two men were playing darts. The bar was dark, lit only by a few dim lights. The bar top was made of splintery wood and covered in glass stains. There were multiple wooden tables scattered across the bar, none of them with seats. Five wooden booths with U-shaped, grey, tattered seats lined the wall opposite the bar. There were two dart boards at the back of the tavern.

The first man stared intently at the dart board. He was a very tall man with smooth black hair with a large, dark green-highlighted spike at the front. He was wearing a green, brown and black camouflage, military-style, uniform and a pair of black, steel cap boots. He also wore a pair of circular lens glasses that sat closely to his yellow eyes. The right lens of his glasses had a small, red, square crosshairs on it. He threw a dart and hit the bullseye with ease.

The second man, who was leaning on a wall next to the back most booth with his arms crossed, was large and muscular. He angrily said to the tall man, "Dammit, Drew! Stop cheating with those stupid glasses!" His voice was deep, matching his tough exterior. "It's bad enough that you're a sharpshooter with your magic sniper rifle, but you've also got those 'special reading glasses!'"

He was taller than Drew, even with his above average height. He had massive, bulky biceps and broad shoulders. He had light brown eyes. His head was large and round, with very short, brown hair, almost to the point of baldness. He was wearing a grey shirt with rib like bones circling the body and shoulder pads made from hornless bull skulls. There were three colored orbs encrusted into the back of his shirt in a triangle shape. He also wore a pair of black pants with bone knee pads and small bone circles tightening the ends of the pant legs. His shoes were white with metal covering the front and back of his foot. The shoe laces had white, bone tips.

"You're just a sore loser, Bolt." Drew replied, smiling and still staring at the dart board.

"Fine, if I'm a sore loser then… then…." The large man stamped his right foot on the ground trying to think of a way to make the game fair. He then pointed at Drew and yelled, "ah-ha! I know now. Re-do your shot…" Drew rolled his eyes and walked towards the dart board but before he could grab the dart, Bolt finished his sentence. "…Without your glasses on."

Drew's hand stopped inches from the bronze dart and began to tremble. Sweat poured down his forehead and onto his nose, he swallowed harshly. Was his cheating foiled?

He forced a look of confidence and turned around, smiling once again. "I don't understand why I need to give you a do-over. It's not my fault I'm better than you."

"You're not better than me, you're cheating!" Bolt stood up straight and walked over to Drew, Bolt towered over him. The two of them stared at each other angrily.

"You may kiss the bride." A woman's voice interrupted from the nearest booth. A pretty, blonde girl slowly rose from the seats. She had been sleeping in the booth but was awoken by all the yelling.

She yawned and stretched her arms above her head. When she finished she looked over and saw Drew and Bolt glaring at her.

"What?" she asked, staring at them with wide, green eyes.

"You need to stay out of this Laura" Bolt said, still glaring.

"Oh look at that. Just a minute ago you were acting like a child and now you're 'mister serious'." Drew interrupted with mocking tone. "You try to act scary, like you think you're Pyrozen or something."

Bolt smiled, "So, you think Pyrozen is scary?"

"Let me finish! You think you're acting like Pyrozen. But! You don't realise that Pyrozen isn't scary, nor is he intimidating." He crossed his arms and smiled with satisfaction.

The large wooden door at the front of the bar suddenly flew open with a bang, causing Drew to let out a small squeal. Standing at the door was the red and blue man. His one red eye was glowing slightly.

What Drew had previously said was thrown out the window as he began speak with obvious fear in his voice. "Oh… Uh… Pyrozen! Hey, how have you been..?"

Pyrozen walked over to the group of three before replying to Drew in a friendly tone. "I'm feeling great, thank you for asking." He showed a hint of a smile before it faded as he looked past Drew.

Drew turned to see what he was looking at and was met with a pair of scrawny, cold, skeletal hands that grabbed his wrists and tackled him to the wooden floor. When Drew finally realised what was happening he was face to face with a skeleton. No flesh, no organs, just a red glow from the inside of its skull, emerging from its eyes and nose. He freed his left hand from the skeletons grasp and grabbed its wrist, pushing it back a little.

Drew, still struggling against the surprisingly strong skeleton, managed to look past its dry white skull and red eyes to get a glimpse of Bolt, with his arms crossed and smiling. Drew suddenly jerked his left arm to his side still holding onto the skeletons arm, ripping it off. He dropped the arm as a large black sniper rifle materialised in his hand from a dark green light. He swung the rifle towards the skeleton, knocking it off of him and quickly jumped to his feet, pointed the sniper at the skeleton and fired, destroying its skull.

The skeletons body fell apart and the bones quickly turned into white smoke and vanished. The red glow from inside its head slowly floated behind Bolt and nested its self in an empty, circular hole on the back of his shirt. Bolt, Laura and Pyrozen looked at Drew, who was looking through the scope of his sniper, aimed directly at Bolt.

"Hey!" A husky voice yelled from behind the bar. "I don't want no fights in my bar!" The bartender growled. He was short, wide, and bald and wearing some dull, grey clothes covered by a dark blue apron.

"Ya lucky I'ma nice enough guy to let you all stay the night, the least ya could do is not brawl in my bar."

"Our apologies, sir. We are truly grateful that you let us stay the night." A disembodied spoke in a slightly high-pitched, male voice. "Unfortunately, my… associates get a little restless when they don't kill their target…" The voice had no visible source, it sounded like it was coming from all directions.

"What the hell do you mean 'kill their target'?!" The bartender responded, beginning to tremble with fear, he recognised the voice as the man he met the day earlier. Pyrozen and the others didn't seem fazed by the voice, they were used to it.

"Oh right… we didn't give you a real introduction, did we?" He let out a horrifying cackle that sounded like it was coming from directly behind the bartender.

The bartender quickly turned around and was met with a mass of blue electricity that pushed him up against the bar. The electricity had no noticeable features except a gaping mouth that looked like a smile and two large eyes that gave it a devious expression.

The bartender grunted as he felt the electricity burn him. The mouth began to move and the mass spoke, "We are bounty hunters…" It was the disembodied voice from before. "…And we are not the good kind…" Its eyes grew narrow and its smile widened.

The bartender tried to break free, but the electricity had a strong force behind it. He had no idea the man he met the day earlier had abilities like this. "W-what are you going to do with me…?" His voice was quiet, showing his obvious fear.

The electric mass stared for a moment. Sparks of blue electricity flickered off it in all directions. "If we encounter someone that could compromise our mission… we 'remove' them."

The bartender's eyes widened as the electricity intensified burning him even more until the point where his heart stopped and his lifeless body fell to the floor.

Drew, Bolt and Laura glared in shock. They had never actually seen someone get murdered before. Pyrozen stood next to them with his arms crossed, still unfazed by the situation. His red eye was no longer glowing. The electric mass slowly faded and turned into a small blue trail that slithered across the bar top like a snake made out of electricity.

It slowly made its way off the bar and across the floor towards Pyrozen. When it was just a meter away from him it launched itself upward with a flash of bright, blue light. It took on the form of a man, aged in his early 30s. The entire surface of his body had a bizarre, glowing, blue tint to it. His skin was a sickly, pale blue. His hair was a slightly darker shade of blue, with sharp stands pointing in all directions.

He was wearing a pair of dark grey cargo pants and a black shirt with a purple standby symbol on it. Most of his shirt was covered by an unbuttoned, white lab coat with black burn marks towards the bottom of the body and sleeves. His shoes were black and laceless.

He smiled from ear to ear showing his light blue teeth and opened his eyes as his pupils contracted. His eyes were a much darker blue then the rest of his body. He spoke once again, "Welcome back, Pyrozen. I hope you brought some good news." He kept his smile as he showed a sign of anticipation.

"Wait, hold up! Are you going to ignore the fact that someone just died a minute ago!?" Laura interrupted, still sitting in the booth.

His large smile turned into a gentle one as he replied, "We are literally getting paid to kill someone and you're freaking out over me killing someone."

"But this guy wasn't our target!" She shouted. "He's just-"

"A nobody." Pyrozen butted in. "He won't be missed… and neither will his bar, right Sparky?" He teased with a nickname.

"It's Glitch, but thanks for trying." The blue man replied sarcastically. "…And no he won't be missed. Anyway, what are you implying?" Glitch Queried.

Pyrozen lifted his hand in front of his face with only his index finger sticking up. "We get rid of the evidence." A sinister smile spread across his face and the end of his index finger lit on fire.

"I like the way you think, but back to the more important business. Did you… finish the job?"

"No." Pyrozen sorrowfully replied.

Glitch's large smile turned to an angry expression. He turned his entire body, except for his head and forearms, into the blue mass from before and lunged at Pyrozen, knocking him up against the second booth.

"I thought you were the right choice!" He growled, shocking Pyrozen. "You assured me that she would be dead…" Pyrozen gritted his teeth, trying, very hard, to not show his pain. "…and might I ask why you were unable to kill her?"

Pyrozen forced an answer through his pain. "I was moments away from killing her, but I was attacked!" The pain subsided as Glitch backed away turning back to his human form.

"Attacked by who?" Drew asked.

"He was a Dragon Slayer. Must of seen me attacking Nova and came to the rescue." Pyrozen replied.

Suddenly, Glitch hit Pyrozen with the back of his hand, sending him tumbling across the floor towards the door. "You mean to tell me, you were beaten by a single Dragon Slayer?!" Glitch shouted as all the blue on his body turned red and bolts of red electricity sparked off of him.

Pyrozen got up off the floor and brushed some dust off of him. "I wasn't beaten! I just made a strategic retreat, that's all."

"A.K.A you ran like a bitch." Bolt teased and Drew and Laura laughed.

Pyrozen looked at them and shouted, "You can all bite me!"

"Enough, all of you. Glitch interrupted, still quite angry. "Pyrozen, explain why you made a 'strategic retreat'."

"Because, I spotted the Dragon Slayer's guild mark. He is a member of Fairy Tail."

"So what,Nova's going to the guild he's from, big deal." Glitch said flatly.

"Alright, I'll give you the scenario that would play out if I killed the Dragon Slayer. I have no doubt that Nova would have escaped while I fought him. He dies and his guild goes into full lockdown after Nova arrives and explains what we're trying to do. Then we end up on the 'Fiore's Most Wanted' list, we don't get paid and spend the rest of our lives in prison."

Glitch's large smile returned and his body returned to its natural blue color. "You are much smarter then you look, Pyrozen." He turned to the rest of his group, "Alright, it's time we get moving. We're going to Magnolia…"

"It's about time!" Laura whined and got out of the booth, she was holding a strange, short, dark red pole. "This is no place for a lady."

"Yeah your right, Drew doesn't belong here." Bolt replied as he chuckled.

"A sniper round doesn't belong in your head either, but I can still put one there!" Drew shouted as Laura giggled.

Glitch turned into his electric for and slithered along the ground again out the front door. The other four followed with Pyrozen in front. Just before he reached the door, Pyrozen stopped and turned around and said loudly, "Drew?" Drew jumped. "If you want, I could show you just how scary and intimidating I can be."

Drew began to shake, "No thanks… you're really scary… please don't hurt me."

Pyrozen smiled and walked out the door. Drew let out a sigh of relief as he followed Laura and Bolt outside. Outside in the sunlight, Glitch was standing in the middle of the street with his arms crossed, looking around anxiously. He turned to Pyrozen and said, "Ready to 'remove' the evidence?"

Pyrozen's sinister smile returned as he turned around and pointed the palm of his hand at the tavern. After a short moment the tavern was engulfed in red and orange flames, quickly consuming it. Pyrozen made shore not to burn any of the neighbouring structures.

The group of five left the area, leaving the tavern as a smoking pile of black wood and ash. They left Hargeon and headed towards Magnolia. Fairy Tail had no idea what was coming for them.
