A Heart as Cold as Ice (A Gray Fullbuster Love Story)
Chapter 10: Battle with Eisenwald
Sorry everyone for the late update, but as I stated before, I'm currently redoing chapters. But I left a few things out on Ayame's info so here is the more updated one :) Just to keep her status from being a Mary Sue, her personality will be based on mine. Also, I'm kinda trying out a new format of writing. So please tell me if you like it or not ^^
Name: Ayame Takeshi
Alias: Fairy Tail's Tsunami
Age: 18
DOB: May 20, X766
Zodiac: Taurus
Appearance: Ayame has light brown, a little shorter than waist length hair & silver eyes. She has fair, light skin and has smaller breasts than Mirajane, Erza, and Lucy. (I'm changing her clothing, but until then, she will be wearing her usual outfit)
Guild: Fairy Tail
Mark: Above her left breast and the color is dark blue.
Rank: S-Class
Magic: Water
Likes: Fluffy stuff, cold weather, marshmallows, music, dancing, reading, quietness, drawing, snuggling under the blanket, being home, telling jokes, laughing, and playing the violin & piano. (Yes she/I plays the piano & violin)
Dislikes: Any type of Spicy food (along with candy), too much attention, show-offs, being told what to do, hot weather, people who takes things up the butt, and too much noise.
Personality: Ayame is a shy type when you first meet her, but as you get to know her you'll find that she's incredibly loud. She's highly well-mannered but is probably the most rudest person of Fiore if you get her mad. Such a troll. She loves to read because she's a curious person who wants to learn more about the world. Ayame is very optimistic & compassionate towards her friends and does everything in her power to help them. Another trait she has is that she can be very emotional. This makes her sorta a good friend to lean on. She's also very random. On the other hand, some of her negative traits are that she can be bipolar at times, depending on the weather, time, and place. Another trait is that she can be incredibly short-tempered. She hates when people yell at her. Ayame highly dislikes being ordered around because she's very lazy and tends to procrastinate a lot. Also, she gets her feelings hurt a bit easily.
Also, she has a habit of keeping her head up in the clouds and is highly forgetful. Also the language for this chapter will be a bit mature ^^
I was shocked to hear what Lucy just said. Even though it was dark magic it didn't frighten me at all actually. Well, I am a S-Class Mage who defeats dark guilds, demons, and other magical stuff to keep the world "balanced". But isn't that what a Mage supposed to do right? Save others and defeat the world from darkness to keep peace.
At the Train Station in Kunugi
"Get the passengers and conductors off! Everything goes off!" Erigor ordered. "This train now belongs to Eisenwald!"
Everyone inside the train station ran for their lives as the Eisenwald members were kicking all of them out. It looked like a stampede went through the station as they all left. It was just so dirty inside there.
"We heard you were coming back by this station, so we waited for you, Kageyama," Erigor said as he approached his friend. "I somehow managed to break through the seal."
"Here's the flute," Kageyama said while handing his fellow member his desired item.
"Oh...So this is the forbidden magic item Lullaby?" Erigor asked.
All the Eisenwald members were in awe as they knew their plans were now complete. They all started to rejoice and thanked Kageyama for his wonderful deed. It wasn't everyday that you see this guild that happy.
"This flute used to be nothing more than a tool used in death curses. But the great black wizard Zeref upgraded it into a full-fledged magic flute," a random Eisenwald member informed.
"He changed it into something very frightening huh? Anyone who hears the sound of the flute falls under a death curse...The mass-murder curse magic, Lullaby!" Erigor screamed.
With Our Fairy Tail Members
"Mass-murder curse magic! If that kind of thing gets into Erigor's hands...Dammit! Who are they planning to use it against?" Erza worried while driving the magic-fueled car at top speed.
As we got to the Kunugi Train Station, we saw that the train had been stolen by those damned, pesky Eisenwald members. Oh how much I wanted to murder them already. They're already getting me on my nerves that I can just explode! Ugh! I just want to go back home so I can just sleep away the day but nooooo Erza just HAD to ask me to come along! I'm pretty sure that they would've done fine without me though. Oh dear great Fairies in the sky...please let this mission end. And fast!
"These dark guild members are highly making me pissed off Erza," I informed her. She only looked at me and smirked, knowing that she felt the same way as me. I could understand her since we use to share the same apartment back then, and knowing her, she's even more frustrated than me.
"They must be in a hurry to get to somewhere in time to do some maximum damage," Gray said as he started to strip off his clothes right next to me. Typical Gray.
"Why are you stripping?" I sweat dropped.
"Well aren't you hot too?" Gray asked me.
"No, Gray, it's just you...as usual." He only laughed and gave me a hug. Shirtless. I only face-palmed myself while giving a slight sigh knowing that I was kinda blushing.
"But the army's already been called in. It's only a matter of time until they're caught," Lucy informed.
"Well I hope your right," Erza and I simultaneously said.
With The Eisenwald Members On The Train
"A fly," asked Erigor. Kageyama only nodded.
"He was on board this train until just before the station. He was really pathetic..." he said before Erigor attacked him with a wind technique, causing Kageyama's ears to bleed slightly. He screamed and fell to the floor, covering his ears that were in an abundance of shear pain.
"You didn't leave him with any suspicions, did you? This mission isn't something that's going to fail just on the suspicions of one fly, is it?" Erigor scolded his fellow guild member.
"Of course not," responded Kageyama.
"I don't want anything making trouble for us. Do you understand? But a fly huh? There are some forests where flies aren't allowed."
Back To The Fairy Tail Members
"Erza stop!" I ordered her. "If you keep going this fast, your magic will run out!"
And of course, she ignores me and continues to drive at top speed. Denying our pleads to stop or take her place as the driver. After some time of begging her, we began to stop knowing that telling her is meaningless. More like plain stupid to even mention it in the first place.
"If they play that flute, a lot of people are going to die! Just one note will put people's lives in danger!" Erza told me.
"I know that but please let me drive!" I pleaded her. "We need you! And if your out of magic when we face Eisenwald, then what were to happen to us? Please be reasonable about this Erza!"
"I know that, but we don't know what they're after yet...We may be in for a pitched battle! And if worse comes to worse, I'll fight them with a broken stick! Besides, I have you guys," Erza told all of us with a compassionate voice along with a smile.
"Lucy," I called her over to sit next to me. "There's something I've been meaning to ask about Lullaby."
"Sure," she responded happily.
"Damn...I just forgot," I face-palmed myself. Lucy only sweat dropped and sat back where she was. Right next to Natsu. How utterly adorable. Something that was so important to ask, yet, I forgot it. I blame Erza for this... But as we got into town there was smoke from the train station making us all aware that the dark guild is officially here. We go through the highly packed streets to get to our desired destination. All you hear is the police telling the citizens and the evacuated passengers not to worry because everything is "under control". Such crap. We push ourselves even further toward the entrance of the station but was stopped by one of the officers.
"What's the situation inside the station?" Erza asked him.
'This guy better give her a quick answer before...' I thought before she head butted him on the face for being a slow replier. Her skull must be made out of some kind of metal because she keeps on doing the same for some of the cops.
"I guess she only wants to talk to someone with quick answers," Lucy frighteningly mumbled.
"This is how I feel," Gray and I simultaneously replied to her.
Since no one replied to Erza, we just barged inside and walked to the base of the station. On our way up the stairs, we find plenty of the Council's soldiers unconscious on the steps. It reminded me of a mass genocide.
"They were fighting an entire guild. In other words, our enemies our wizards. A platoon of soldiers can't take them on." Erza informed us.
"Let's hurry! The platform is this way!" Gray shouted. Unfortunately for me, I didn't hear him because I was helping one of the soldiers up so I can get some information from him.
"Sir what exactly happened to you?" I asked.
"Dark guild...wind magic...death...strong," he mumbled before collapsing into my arms unconsciously. I laid him back down on the ground gently. I turned around to find my party gone.
'uh oh,' I said to myself. Oh how I was scared of what Erza will do to me once she see's me. There was three choices. I could have walked up the stairs, turn to the hall to the left, or the hall to my right, which was the closest to me. I didn't know what to do so I took the hall to my left and continued to walk in that direction until I stopped to see him again.
With Gray, Erza, Lucy, Natsu, and Happy
As they got to the platform, Gray knew something was missing. He turned around to find his teammates coming up the stairs, but they were missing a member. The one and only, Ayame.
"Erza-"
"I know Gray. Leave this to me and go get her." she said in a stern voice. He only nodded and ran back down to get his friend.
"Ah Fairy Tail, I knew you'd come," Erigor said with a smugly smile. "I've been waiting."
"So you're Erigor, huh?" Erza smirked.
"Huh...I've seen that chick in the armor before! So you're the one that figured our plans," a random guild member yelled.
"What are you guys after? What happens to you depends on your answer."
"We just want to play! We're not getting work, so we've got all the time in the world on our hands," Erigor said just before flying in the station over to where his friends were. "You don't get it? There's something special about this station."
"He's flying!" Lucy shouted.
"He uses wind magic then!" Happy added. Then Erigor flew to where the station's speakers were and tapped on it making Erza shocked.
"You're planning on broadcasting Lullaby!" Erza yelled angrily with rage. Her opponent only laughed at her stupidity.
"I'd say there's a mob of several hundred...no, several thousand fools gathered out there! And if I play it loud, the melody of death could spread throughout the entire town!"
"Are you talking about indiscriminate mass murder!"
"This is a purge of people who don't realize that others rights have been stolen away!" Erigor is happily saying. "They tout their own rights and only work preserve their pitty way of life! I'm purging the world off fools! Their crime is to live in a world unaware of how unfair life is. And the Death God will mete out punishment! A punishment we call death!"
"You're not getting any "right's" back from doing this!"Lucy argued. "But really, it was your own fault in the first place! You guys are appalling!"
"What we came here for isn't our "rights," it's our ability to "rule"! And once we rule, we can wash away the past and have absolute control over the future!" He said while laughing at that blonde.
"What are you guys? Idiots?" Lucy talked back.
"Too bad for you flies," Kageyama said before unleashing his shadow magic on Lucy. But was saved by the one and only, Natsu Dragneel. Erigor gave a smirk at the boy and gave him some credit on rescuing his fellow busty friend. He knew that everything is going according to plan.
With Ayame
Some words are going to be a bit explicit here!
"So your that creep who messed up my beautiful house!" I screamed at the man who is standing before me. I recognized him by his weird black outfit and his silver eyes that had been ingrained into my brain. I was so pissed. The feeling of rage, murder, hate, and craze was all I felt. I wanted to pulverize him this instant. He only looked at me and laughed hysterically. "What's so goddamned funny?"
"It's funny because that "beautiful" house was more like a garbage of shit! I couldn't even walk inside without stepping on papers that were all over your floor you unorganized witch!" He yelled back at me. Garbage? Shit? Unorganized? Witch? Not only did he just insult ME but my house too!
"First off, never call my house "shit," because you couldn't walk without crunching papers on the floor! I was sorting out my bills and other stuff and you just happened to barge in at the wrong time! And second off, I'm not a so called "witch," but a Mage! Get it straight!" I corrected him. I hate being insulted by people I don't know! Especially when they're yelling and insulting me. Rude...Just rude...
"I just hate everything about..."He murmured darkly.
"What did I ever do to you though! I don't know who you are but if I destroyed your house while defeating an enemy-"
"Its not that," calmly saying. He only face palmed himself while shaking his head side to side. I didn't know what was going through this guy's mind.
"Then why do you hate me! I haven't done anything wrong to you! I don't even know your name!" I told him. So many questions began appearing in my mind, but no answers solved them.I didn't know what to do or how to feel. Should I feel sorrowful and sympathetic or be just wrathful and full of hate. There were just so many things that I couldn't explain on my own. I wanted help, but from who?
"Do you know exactly who I am, Ayame?" he questioned me. I only shook my head at his question. I have such bad memory that I even forget my friends names sometimes. I'm such a terrible person. "Well that is your own fault for not remembering me you-"
"AYAME!" I looked over my shoulder to see Gray shouting from a few yards in back of me. I can see from his expression that he was concerned about me and that he was pretty worn out from all the running. I turned around to find the stranger gone.
"He's good...He's real good," I mumbled.
"What are you doing?" Gray yelled at me. "I've been looking all over for you!"
"Im sorry!" I wave my hands infront of my face to show my innocence. "I got lost and I thought you guys went this why!"
"Oh Ayame," he smiled. "If you needed help then why didn't you just yell out my name?"
"I forgot...I'm sorry," I confessed with teary eyes. Gray then wrapped his muscular arms around me for comfort. I responded by hugging him back and leaning my head on his chest. After a few minutes of hugging, he then pushed me a back a bit and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt and started to dab my watery eyes away.
"You know, if you ever need help you can always yell out my name and I'll be there by your side in an instant," he told me.
"I know-"
"No Ayame. That's what you don't know. I know that you want to be more independent and responsible, but even those people need help at times and need to depend on friends. Don't be afraid to ask for help because your not alone," Gray said before embracing me into his arms again. I only nodded and hugged him back, knowing that I could depend on him for some guidance. I pushed him away gently and gave him a big smile, "Let's go back before Erza and Natsu defeat our enemies without us!"
"Thats the Ayame I know now!" he said while patting my head. We then started to run back to our friends who were patiently waiting for us.
To Be Continued
Thank you so much for the wonderful, comments, critics, and messages! Especially for supporting me :) Hopefully this isn't Mary sue-ish at all because then I would be a Mary sue myself .; Im sorry I'm not as strong or strong-willed as you all, but I'm actually lazy and a person who tends to procrastinate a lot (｡-_-｡) But every action or saying Ayame says, just remember that it's based off my personality and my actions of what I would do.
Please tell me what you think in a pm or a review ^^ Also, feel free to send me ideas! And if you have any questions the please message me personally on here or on my Facebook. I might release the next chapter this week since my school ends on the 14th. So stay tuned! x)
And as for some of the artist's that read my story, I was thinking of doing a Cover contest for this story :3 Should I? Yes or No?
