The door to the dark guild, Black Rose, burst open as four figures stepped in. Ken Hirozon, aged 19, who was writing another of his famous depressing poems momentarily looked up from his work. He leaned against the tabled where he was writing and said, "You're.. back already? Was Fairy Tail that easy to beat? Or did you come with your tail between your legs?"
"Nope... we just ran into some annoyances..." Carma Sacred sneered, glaring at Arietta Bloodluster and Haku Soreta with a smirk.
Arietta, Haku, and Raven were a quite beaten, except for Carma who just watched the fight between the guild members. Raven Thomas sat down next to Ken on the bench and sighed, his face full of gloomy depression.
"By the way... where's Rin and Hikari?" Arietta asked, looking around.
"They left about an hour ago... when we weren't looking..." Haku explained. Then, he yawned, not bothering to cover his gaping mouth.
Bloodluster huffed, then sat down on a high stool, crossing her legs. She stuck the tip of her scythe, which she was carrying, on the wooden floor, making it tilt at an angle. "Where the hell did they go?" she growled.
"They headed over to that light guild... the one you're assigned to, right?" Ken muttered.
"Yeah... I'm going to visit the master for a sec," Carma said, then walked off, deeper into the guild, waving hello to some of the other mages.
Ken gave Raven Thomas a pointed look and in reaction, the dark boy quietly replied, "They'll hold... looks like Rin already has a plan anyways..."
"What... What happened to you?" Gray exclaimed as he ran over to his fallen friend. Soon, most of the Fairy Tail mages stopped what they were doing and crowded around him and Leon, worried and anxious.
"Lamia Scale... my guild was attacked... there was a fair amount of survivors, and I had to come in a rush to warn you..." Leon trailed off, trying to catch his breath. He had been running for most of the journey to Fairy Tail.
"Who was it, Leon? Which guild?" Makarov asked. He approached the two boys from the outline of the crowd, where a path was made to let the old man through.
"Their... name... They said they were from Black Rose," he answered. Gray and Lucy led him to an empty table, near the center of the guild. Leon clenched his fists, his face full of defeat and frustration, "Our guild... we were completely caught by surprise. At first there were only three, but then once we got the upper hand, four more came. That was when it was obvious that we were going to lose. And the team that arrived later on... they mentioned you guys... and it seemed like they are going to come soon..."
"Do you know what kind of magic they use? Is that why you came, to inform us of their abilities and to warn us?" Erza Scarlet questioned. She had stepped forward from the mob of mages, and she was wearing full armor, like the usual.
Leon nodded, and continued, "I'm actually surprised that they came here before me... One of them... the leader... he uses some kind of Illusion Magic. That's what threw most of us off. Another... he uses some kind of magic that controls the ground. And the third, along with a young girl who beat me, they have the ability to control thread and wind..."
"The ability to control thread? What does that do?" Lucy asked, imagining someone sewing cloth together, or using a needle as a weapon.
"Want me to show you?" a dark, female voice purred.A soft eruption of giggles sounded above them, near the large, wooden beams. Before the guild members could look up, a mischievous voice said, "Thread Magic... Spider Seal... Release."
Suddenly, Leon's body started to shake, and he fell off of the bench which he was sitting on. He cried out, bending over as his hands gripped his silver hair. It looked as if he was kneeling down towards a god, and was being punished.
"What's wrong? Leon!" Gray yelled out as he watched his friend scream and shudder.
A large black seal that was the shape of a spider spread out on Leon's back. Soon, the thing covered his entire back and blood started to trickle out from the middle of the spider. Thin, sticky thread shot out from all directions, attaching themselves to the walls of the guild, creating large masses of web. Some of the guild members were caught onto the sticky strings and they became entangled in the thread, unable to escape. The more they struggled, the deeper in trouble they got.
"Ara... this wooden beam seems pretty strong..." The same voice exclaimed from above, Loud thuds and creaks were heard from the beams of the guild, the wood about to collapse.
"Rin... don't bounce. They can see your underwear," a younger, more innocent voice commented.
Erza Scarlet looked up at them and yelled, "Who are you? What did you do to him?"
Rin Solstice chuckled softly, one hand on the large, heavy coffin made of metal beside her. The coffin was wrapped tightly with thick, bulky chains that had several padlocks on them. Hikari Fullbuster, who had just commented about Rin's underwear, pulled out two long fans from inside of her jacket and held them at her sides. They were as long as short swords, or katanas, and at the tips were metal spikes. Rin continued to jump up and down on the wooden beam which was about to snap under the weight of the two girls and the heavy coffin.
She pulled her hair away from her shoulders and turned her back to them, showing the Fairy Tail mages the black symbol of Black Rose. Rin smirked and replied, "We're from Black Rose... an assassination guild. And just like silver dude said, we're here to defeat you!"
"Rin..." Hikari started to call out to the older girl, but then the wooden beam they were standing on gave in, making the two girls fall to the floor below. From the impact of the fall, they also made a large hole in the floor where they landed, mostly because the coffin Rin had was so heavy.
"Ara, ara... Sorry, I didn't mean to... just an accident," Rin smiled, getting back up to her feet, "Not like I wanted to do that, you know?"
"Why, you...!" Gray growled, creating a long, ice spear, then darting towards Rin, ready to slice her in half.
The black haired girl smoothly moved aside, "Whoopsie! Looks like you missed! By the way..." she paused, then pointed up, "All this time you light guild trash were talking, I decided to have some fun... by taking down all the other beams."
"What?" Gray gasped, and right after the word left his mouth, thin lines of thread that were wrapped around the other wooden beams that held the guild became visible. They were unnoticeable at first, but when they caught the line, or moved dramatically, they were able to be seen.
Rin, with her smile still frozen on her face, tugged at the threads with her hands, making the strings move at her command, and the strongholds of the guild were cleanly cut. Around her, the home of Fairy Tail crumbled to the ground, unable to keep its shape without the strong wooden beams that supported them.
"Everyone! Get out! The guild is falling to the ground!" Erza commanded, running out of the unstable building with the other Fairy Tail mages.
In the middle of the ruins, Hikari moved in front of Rin and opened up her two fans. She flapped them outwards, creating strong winds that blew the rubbled away from her and and older girl, so that they wouldn't get hurt. The unlucky ones, who were still caught by Rin's sticky threads, were smothered under the heavy rubble full of stones and wood.
"You... you guys!" Lucy called out to them as they cried out for help, the rocks nailing them to the ground.
"You jerks!" Cana Alberona snarled, flipping out her magic cards. She turned to face the two dark guild mages who were supposedly in the center of the mess, but they had disappeared. She blinked rapidly and quickly looked around, "Where are they?"
Juvia slowly turned her eyes to Gray Fullbuster and gasped, "Gray-sama!"
Pale, thin arms wrapped themselves around Gray and a voice cooed, "You know, I have a soft spot for hot guys!"
Hikari, who was a bit far off from them, folded her fans back and watched the scene. She leaned against the coffin which she was standing right next to. Rin, who had just hugged Gray, was now leaning against his bare shoulder.
"O-O-OI!" Gray cried out, his face a dark red as he tried to pull away. Out of nowhere, shots of water lashed out at Rin, who let go of the ice mage at the last moment and darted back to where Hikari and the coffin were.
"Ah... Looks like that had an intent to kill!" Rin giggled, looking over at Juvia who was filled with rage. She pointed to the fallen guild and said, "Don't worry... your pals over there aren't dead yet... I think."
"What? So it's only you two? This is going to be easier than I thought!" Natsu smiled, cracking his knuckles as he glared at the two dark mages with his slanted eyes.
"Oh? So you're going to take advantage of us ladies and attack us with your mob? How scary!" Rin whimpered, while Hikari took a step closer to her.
"There's no way you two are 'ladies'! Especially you!" Gray, Leon, and Natsu exclaimed in unison, pointing at the black haired girl.
Rin's smile disappeared, and it was replaced with a naughty smirk. She reached her hands out to the Fairy Tail members, and shot out thin lines of thread that were as sharp as the edge of a blade. Some of them wrapped around Lucy Heartfilia, who was among the ones nearest to her, and the thread tied themselves tightly around her throat, wrists, and ankles, drawing her closer to Rin as they started to slice the girl. The others did the same thing to Mirajane, who was also nearby, and Rin slowly tugged on the threads, making them tighter and tighter.
"Lucy!" Happy cried out.
"Nee-san!" Elfman said, trying to rip the threads off. The string was made of almost entire metal, and the beast man only succeeded in cutting himself.
"Well then..." Rin purred as she controlled the thread with the tips of her fingers. Hikari opened up her fans again, getting ready to fight. "Let's get started, shall we?" they suggested in unison.
