Chapter 2. First job.
Author Note's
Hey everyone! Chapter 2 is finally done and edited. I'm about to start on chapter 5. Hopefully I can get several chapters ahead so I don't keep you waiting if you are enjoying this, for longer than a week. Especially once I get into major Arc's where the whole of Fairy Tail is involved. This is technically his first fight in the new world. I had several ideas and thoughts on characters I thought I'd bring in for him. Then scrapped because I wasn't satisfied or how forced a fight seemed. As when I wrote the chapter I was very unsure how magic in Fairy Tail would work against Ki. I'm still uncertain even though I've played with it and think I've found a reasonable way to make some abilities hard to fight for our fused Saiyan. Anyways I scrapped the big fight scene to keep some mystery as to when and where we'll find out who it is. I'm in the dark as to when he'll show again. I'll let the story tell itself.
Also I will try to make characters for the Arc's that I am forced to put Vegito in. If only to keep him occupied so as not to butcher a rewrite of the existing story. I like the original as is and I like how for the most part one character isn't "superman" and all character's abilities are needed for the guild to win in certain battles. Even though I am I guess you could say a Vegito Fanboy. I do wish in DBZ more characters had been more badasses than they were. I mean contributing significantly to the win besides their energy being used for a spirit bomb.
Also I am looking for...dare I say it...a character that can defeat Vegito. I am going to try and kick the shit out of him as realistically as I can. Or at Least Plausibly. I think it might be a good thing for character development. Unlike goku who seems to stay the same personality and the way he does things. Vegeta made a huge change from hated villain to lovable asshole. So I will try to turn him from a one man show to a team player. Unless the story doesn't go that route then I'll just let it do it's own thing. I mean him taking it all on his shoulders. Sorry for my rambling. Oh last thing before I am asked. I am not sure when or IF I will bring in Majin Buu. If I do it will be way later as an end boss or fight. I have some ideas but Im not to comfortable with how he'd be brought in so late. I also don't think I will bring in anyone else from the DBZ universe. 1 overpowered person is enough for now. Although Bulma is a genius.
thank you again for reading, and I hope you enjoy.
RING RING RING RING
A slender hand reaches from under the covers searching for the disturbance. Finally after what seemed like hours to her. Her hand changed into a demon arm and silenced the rude sound forever. She sat up stretching her muscles. Her hair tied in a single tail on the back of her head. Wearing just her panties and a T-shirt with Fairy Tails emblem on the chest. "There goes another one. I'll stop buy the store on the way to work and get a new one I suppose."
"Grrrrr, morning already" sleepily saying to herself it being 6:00 am. Lazily making her way off her bed and to her bathroom. Passing a door that hasn't been opened in a while. She paused reminded of that fate full day. Her blunder her mistake letting both her younger siblings be placed in danger. A tear silently ran down her face. Remembering her baby sisters last moments. Her being unable to be the big sister and protect them. Not being able to help her brother after he went on a rampage. Trying to take over a monster that was out of his league. Her sister playing the part she herself should have. "I'm worthless" saying silently to herself.
Wiping the creeping tears that emerged on her face. Looking somberly down as she walked into her bathroom. "It's always like this. When I'm alone in this house." Her brother Elfman who lives with her had been on a job making extra money for them both.
She finished getting ready for the day. Practicing her fake smile that hid her pain. She couldn't wait to get to the guild hall and be around someone. Helping to keep her mind occupied.
As she walked down the street towards Fairy Tail. She remembered her dream. "What was that? I remember seeing this man. Who looked like Vegito. But his hair was different. There was a woman, a younger boy maybe about her age, and an even younger boy who looked just like the older man. Then there was another man. He was different. He had a similar appearance to Vegito. But not exactly the same. It looked like this blue haired lady and him were arguing. Then she saw the same man hugging a young boy with pink hair, before he knocked him unconscious." She wondered what it was all about. She couldn't explain it but she started to believe Vegito's story about being fused. She wasn't sure why she felt those were his counterparts. They both felt familiar to who she had met not more than 8 hours ago. She thought her loneliness was causing her to go crazy.
As she got to the main door of the guild hall. She notice Macao and Wakabe standing at the door. Pulling her out of her wondering thoughts.
"Hey Mira! How'd it go last night?" Wakabe asked with a smirk continuing his teasing interrogation, "You didn't stay the night with him? NURSING his wounds?"
"Yea Mira. I was wondering the same thing." Macao said.
She had blushed at the thought of being all alone with him. Although she was inexperienced in that area and wasn't sure how it all worked. She recovered trying not to let their teasing get the better of her, "I got him a room for the night, after we finished talking. After that I closed up the hall and left for the night" she answered.
"Wow. That's a big risk to take with a stranger. Hope he didn't leave with something valuable" Macao replied. Nodding towards his friend. Not really trying to make her feel bad about the chance. But wanted to tease her for her obvious attraction to him. It had been a while sense she had been teased in such a fashion. Given her recent history.
"He didn't seem like the untrustworthy type to me." She felt a strong urge to defend him, then continued, "Besides! He joined the guild last night before I gave him the key to his room." Hinting that he should be treated like any other member. Trusted until proven otherwise.
Wakabe and Macao said in unison, "He's a wizard?"
Mira proceeded to tell the two about her conversation with Vegito after they left. Talking to them as she opened and got the guild hall ready for the day. She left out Vegito saying he was a fusion of two individuals. Unsure if she should overstep her bounds with information he trusted her with.
"Ya know I've heard about a study some wizards and scientists have done. They've been saying there's another force of energy that has yet to be discovered. They say it's a small percent. But that no life could exist without it." Wakabe and Mira listened to Macao nodding in curiosity. He continued,"They said it was so important that even if Ethernano disappeared completely. Life would only need that. So I wonder if this ki Vegito told you about might not be that." All three seemed to be thinking about it. Wondering what it allowed him to do.
"So Mira what job are you going to help him on? There's one on that island right?" Wakabe said winking at her.
Mira blushed at the thought of being at the beach in her bikini showing off to Vegito. "I-I don't know what you mean." She said trying to recover. "How do you know about that S-class quest?" She asked trying to change the topic. "Oh I have my ways." He said as he puffed on his pipe.
"Well in any case I don't think that is a good first job for him."
"What about that kid search for 100,000 J?" Macao said.
"That does sound easy." Mira thought out loud.
"You could try that one about catching some bandits for 500,000 J." Wakabe said with a smirk, "It would give you a chance to show off to your new Boyfriend." Chuckling at the end.
In truth he wanted to see Mira get back into being a wizard. He thought using his new guild mate would get her back in the game. Maybe help get her past some hurt that still lingered. He knew she was still hurting no matter how bright a smile she wore. There was always a tiny glimpse of sorrow in her eyes.
"That might be too much for a first job. Besides if it got out of hand I wouldn't be much use." She declined.
"You mentioned he was fighting a demon that ripped through dimensions. He's got to have some strength." Macao argued back.
"Why not take a communication lacrima with you. See for yourself what he can do. Then call us and we'll make the arrangements." Wakabe suggested. "It would give him a chance to show off to you." Smirking at the flustering girl.
"Fine! You guys sure you're ok with watching the place." She answered reluctantly.
Macao answered,"We'll be fine. I think it will do you some good to go back out into the field."
Mira decided to go with what they suggested. It was only 9:00 am. She decided to go check on their new guest.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Vegito you up?" Mira asked through the door. "I'm coming in." Mira opened the door slowly entering. She noticed his tattered cloths on the floor. She blushed as she thought about what was covered by just a sheet. If he moved just right she'd get a show of epic proportions. Slapping herself back to reality she moved closer to his bed. She noticed his tail draped over the edge. Taking a gulp as she neared his sleeping body. She noticed a trail of tears running down the side of his face. She gently shook his shoulder the smooth feel of his flesh excited her. While remaining composed she lightly said, "Hey sleepy head. It's time to wake up." She said softly he didn't move. She repeated the process shaking harder, and speaking louder nothing. She shook even harder and yelled the same phrase.
Vegito jumped awake wiping his eyes. He look at his new alarm clock. "Mira!" softly he said. She like hearing her name said in his voice. He blinked several times as he sat up. "How long have you been here?"
"Just a moment ago. Why? Is something wrong?" she inquired.
"Oh no. So what's for breakfast?" He asked as if he was trying to take his mind off of something. She wondered if he was missing someone back from his world.
"I can whip you up something if you want. Eggs Bacon, hash browns, and toast sound good to you?" she asked trying to appease him.
He wanted a little more. But figured he'd show some restraint on account of how thoughtful and caring she has been. He began to feel something very warm as he thought of her. He couldn't explain, it felt similar to what Goku and Vegeta felt towards their mates. He wondered if he could have something like that . Not what they had. But something all his own. He then thought of their sons. He wondered how he would fit into the picture having been the one to take their fathers. While not intentional. He couldn't exist without them being gone. He also didn't feel as if he could have that. He felt like he should find someway to repay them both for their sacrifice.
"Earth to Vegito." Mira said teasingly. While waving her hand. "Oh what? Did you just say something?" He replied laughing nervously.
"I just said get changed and we'll have breakfast." she said. Their eye's locked for a brief moment. Shyly smiling at each other as she turned to leave.
She was in the kitchen cooking up a meal for her new friend. She was humming an upbeat song to herself happily. While making the finishing touches on the meal she hoped he'd enjoy. She is known for her cooking skills throughout the guild. Even Sorcerer Weekly praised her skills. Oftern inviting her to an annual cook off. But she always declined. She did her best cooking when those she loved would enjoy it. Her way of comforting her family knowing they all had their own issues they fought against. But Vegito was different. She became self conscious about what he might think about her skills. Wondering if they measured up to someone else's who might have known him better. She couldn't be farther from the truth. While He was indeed a perfect fusion of two individuals. He himself had only been living for less than a few days. "Hey Mira! What are we going to do about his cloths. He's practically naked."
She came out into the bar. Carrying a hefty sized plate. Then eyeing Vegito in his torn clothes as she placed his meal down. "I suppose we'll need to stop by a clothing shop before we head out." Looking at Vegito who seemed embarrassed to be almost naked. She motioned him to sit and eat. He began to inhale it. "WoW looks like we have another Natsu." Wakabe laughed. "Mira's cooking is the best around. You're lucky she must really like you." Macao said winking at Mira. Letting her know they both knew she did, and wasn't very good at hiding it.
"Here Mira." Both Wakabe and Macao said as they handed her some money. "Use that to help pay for a new outfit for the guy."
Vegito blushed a bit at the two men's kindness. Macao noticing,"Don't worry about it man. You're part of the family now." Scratching the back of his head, "T-thanks. I'll repay the favor sometime." Wakabe replied,"Take good care of our Mira and we'll be square."
Mira was slightly blushing and smiling happily. Because of how proud she was of her guild. Fairy Tail she thought, "The only place I can call home."
They gave their salutations to the two men starting to slur. Mira badgering them about staying somewhat sober for when some of the guild returns.
The Saiyan and mage walked down the street towards a clothing shop. People staring at them as they moved through the busy street. While Mira was well known for her affiliation with Fairy Tail. She was also known as a centerfold for sorcerer weekly. But even that wasn't the reason for the stares. The man next to her who looked out of place next to that beautiful woman. To make it worse. Most people weren't used to humans with tails.
She heard,"She must feel sorry for the guy.", and "I wish I knew that's all it took to land her." From some men. She overheard many remarks. Some women had taken an overtly liking to the man. Hitting on him with little regard for their actions. Feeling a bit embarrassed and angry at the same time.
She looked up at Vegito who seemed to not have notice the stares or comments. He was too busy staring himself. At this unfamiliar world he was in. She thought it must be hard to be somewhere all alone. Everything he once knew is gone. She'd hope he'd come to rely on her she wanted to comfort and be there for him.
"You sure are popular Mira. Everyone is looking at you." Mira faceplamed herself in disbelief of him not realizing that he was the center of their attention. "I don't think that's true. Not many people here have tails. Or walk around in tattered clothes." She said calmly. "Well yes. I guess you're right." Scratching the back of his head nervously.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT! MAYBE I SHOULD SLAP YOU ALL SO HARD YOU'D THINK YOU KISSED A FREIGHT TRAIN!" Vegito roared at the on lookers. Mira jumped along with everyone else within earshot at the loud threat. She remained quiet but giggled to herself as they approached the store she had in mind "Cheapware."
"Ahh. This is the place." she said as they entered.
"Can you make me an outfit?" She asked the lady clerk. "Yes! If you know what you want in your mind we can make it."
The lady lead them into a back room. "One moment as we take..." She paused for a moment looking at Vegito. "His measurements I assume?"
"That's right." Replied Mira with a friendly smile.
"Ok young lady. Sit here next to this memory projection lacrima. While you imagine the outfit we'll take his measurements."
In about 15 minutes. Vegito was in his new clothes. They were the same as his original cloths before they got destroyed. Blue trousers, blue short sleeved top that made a V exposing the top of his orange undershirt. White boots and white gloves.
"WoW. That's amazing. How'd you know to make this?" Was all he could say.
"Just a hunch. You can pay me back after you get paid from the job." she teased.
"Sounds fair I owe you." He replied back she smiled at him in kind. Losing track of time as she stared into his eyes. "Oh Hold on." Mira licked her thumb then rubbed it on Vegito's cheek. "You've got a smudge here." Blushing as she pulled her hand away from him. From her boldness to touch him. He rubbed his cheek turning a little red. From what she did and a little embarrassed he'd been walking around for who knows how long with that on him.
A chime sounds signalling an announcement. "All passengers the train for Hargeon boarding now."
Mira lazily woke from her nap on a bench in the train Depot. As the she came too she felt the warmth of her companions shoulder. As her eyes moved up towards his face. She jumped sitting upright in embarrassment rubbing a bit of saliva that had run down her cheek. "God how long have I been leaning on him?" Thinking to herself. "I don't remember falling asleep." It was only a 20 minute wait for the train to arrive.
A second chime sounded. "Last call all passengers for Hargeon boarding now. 5 minutes until departure."
"Oh shit!" She exclaimed shaking Vegito violently. "Get up! We're going to miss our ride!" Without waiting for an answer she grasped his hand running towards their train. Dragging her poor companion across the ground until they entered their train.
"Ow. You're stronger than you look." He said as he pick himself up off of the floor of the train. Dusting himself off.
"S-sorry." she said blushing. She hadn't meant to be so force full. But she didn't want to miss their ride.
"Don't mention it. It's cool. I'll have to remember to wear protection on the way back." He teased. "Well let's find ourseleves a seat." She said ignoring his tease.
Making their way down the aisle the train was already packed. She had hoped to find a set of seats where she could sit across from him. To avoid what happened earlier. While she didn't hate the feeling of using him as a pillow. She was unsure with how comfortable she already felt with him. She didn't know much about him.
At last they found four open seats. Positioned so that the two occupants on one side could sit and face the other occupants across from them. She sat first then Vegito sat across from her. Part of her was hoping he'd sit next to her. But relieved that she might not embarrass herself further in front of him.
"Soooo. Yesterday you mentioned about those earrings having the power to permanently fuse two individuals. Were you originally two separate people?" She questioned but she figured she knew the answer already. She might act ditzy and aloof sometimes. When the situation didn't call for a serious attitude. But she was far from stupid.
Vegito sighed,"We had no choice. It was either that or leave the universe to ruin. Goku and Vegeta both tried to avoid it. We Saiyans are a proud race we don't want to rely on others for strength."
"Who are these Saiyans?" Asking with a curious look. "Saiyans are a warrior race. As of now I'm the only known full blooded Saiyan." Looking directly into her eyes now. "Before you ask. My home planet was named Vegeta. But was blown to dust by a tyrant planet trader. Wiping out all of about 4 who had been at other planets working for that tyrant." He looked down now both his personalities that meshed perfectly were having a conflict. Goku who was naturally kind and loving. Who refrained from killing unless it was absolutely necessary. Was in conflict with the Vegeta side which didn't necessarily care about the lives he took. He did it to survive and get closer to the tyrant in order to kill him, and for power.
The silent moment became awkward and Mira finally after sometime said,"So both of them did this planet trading?"
"Well initially both were supposed to. But Goku had an accident hitting his head very hard after falling from a cliff when he was a young boy. He forgot the programming that had been placed in his head. Becoming kind, warm, and just. Vegeta on the other hand did carry out mass extinction of entire races. Some planets he even obliterated from the universe with is own 2 hands. "Vegito had a somber look on his face the internal conflict caused him to self loath. Remained of their arrogance towards Bulma and Trunks. Only just realizing how much they meant to them not even 15 minutes before his death. Only then did he find a reason to protect. Instead of his greedy want for power. Goku always leaving his family behind to train for months on end or going to meet his next challenge. "I guess we weren't much of a family man or father for most of our lives." Even though Goku had done those to secure his families right to live. He wished he had more time with them. Missing Gohan growing up. His new son Goten who briefly knew him. Regret filled his mind as he didn't know of his families fate.
Mira noticed the conflict plastered on his face. Without words she reach across placing her hand over his. "I'm sure you had you're reasons." She said in a soft gentle tone. Gently squeezing his hand. He nodded partly relieved, and still sad. No more words were spoken.
Mira sat up resting her head on her left hand looking out the window as the scenery blazed on by. Quietly contemplating to herself. "I guess we all have our own demons to fight." she thought figuratively. Thinking back to her own blunder.
She crossed her left leg over her right. With her left side leaning against the train wall, and without noticing, the top of her left foot was pressed against the outside of his left leg. Vegito noticing this looked down at her partly exposed foot. She worn 4 inch heels that secured to her foot by a strap at the heel and individual straps making a weaving pattern over the top of her foot. He couldn't help but feel a calmness at her touch. Whether intentionally or not it broke his wimpy self loathing. Giving him a secure feeling. He wondered if he could find his own thing or person to protect or even if he should. The memories of their past lives and families conflicted with who he was now. He shook his head wondering why he was thinking about love. He's more than a decade older than Mira. Considering the 11 years total Goku spent dead. He was only 29 in Saiyan years. But stopped aging around 25 in earth years.
He shrugged the thoughts off and leaned his chair back to take a nap. Mira still thinking to herself, also wondering about love and her new mysterious guild mate. Wondering if it was mutual or if she was the only one who felt it.
Train coming to a stop the two companions got off the train. Talking idly about non important topics. Ranging from how magic powered the train, cars, and even lights. Vegito gathered it was their form of electricity.
Upon exiting the train depot. Mira noticed the wreckage. "Ahhhh. The master won't be happy about this one. Looks like Natsu went overboard again." Indeed he had. There was a path of destruction through the city from the Dragon slayer's breath attack. Along with a chard ship beached in the town square on it's side.
"Who's this Natsu?" Vegito asked excitedly. He didn't know there were people who might be worthy opponents here.
"Oh. Let's see he's a guild member. He uses dragon slayer magic. He cares for his friends deeply, and he loves to fight." She answered.
Vegito was excited at the last thing she said but curious about,"What's dragon Slayer magic?" Excitedly curious. It sounded hardcore. He imagined someone able to fight Shenron who could be rather scary with his almost limitless power. I don't care what anyone says. If he can give immortality then he must be able to take it too.
"It's a lost magic originally developed to fight off dragons. His is special he uses fire dragon slayer magic. It allows him to take on the aspects of a dragon. He can even believe it or not eat fire to replenish his strength." She instructed.
"What's lost magic?" Vegito asked.
"It's magic that isn't practiced or well known about. Mostly because of how powerful and dangerous it is to both the caster and those who are targets of the wizard."
He was practically jumping for joy at the part about being powerful and dangerous.
"Sounds like a good sparring partner." Saying with a glint of excitement in his eye's.
"Just make sure you do it outside of the guild hall." She said laughing.
"So where are we headed Mira?" He asked scratching the back of his head clearly lost.
"Peace Village. It's to the west of here. It's a small community that nobles take their vacations at. Maybe 3 hours by wagon." She answered.
Vegito was getting restless with traveling so slow. Partly to wanting to get back an meet Natsu. "Can you point in the direction it is?" Asking impatiently.
Pointing west north west,"Maybe that way." As she finish her sentence Vegito scooped her up bride style jetting off into the sky.
"WHOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHH"
Before she knew it she was watching the ground whizz by below. The wind forcing her to bury her face into Vegito's chest. She would have been in heaven but catching a whif of his raunchy 2 day old body odor. Effectively Turing her face a sickly green. "Oh My God! I so should have taken him somewhere for a shower or at least bought him some deodorant." she thought in agony.
"WHOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHH"
She tried to look up to speak. But the force of the wind took her breath away. Vegito noticed, and using his ki to create a dome like shape in front of them. Effectively shielding them from the rushing air.
Finally able to pull her nose from his stinky pits. She praised god for the act of mercy.
She was amazed at his ability to fly. Many wizards are capable of flight. But the speed he moved seemed beyond most. She wonder how capable of a fighter he really was. He traversed what would have taken a train an hour to do in a few minutes. She noticed the small village becoming larger and larger by the second as he followed the road leading to it.
"It's that village coming up." She said pointing. He descended landing to a complete stop. An old couple sitting on their porch mouths wide open at the sudden appearance.
Vegito still holding her like a princess enthralled by the buildings architecture. "T-think you can put me down now." Saying with a flushed face. Vegito looked at her and blushing in response placing her down gently. "S-sorry. I was amazed by the scenery." He said recovering. "It's ok. I know you're not from around here." she assured.
She pulled out her communication lacrima and called back to the guild hall. "Wakabe? Macao?"
"Oh hey Mira. How's it going?" Wakabe answered.
"Oh nothing. I thought I'd call and tell you we're at Peace Village." She answered.
"Wow! What'd ya do? Fly there?" Macao asked although he couldn't be seen through the lacrima.
"Well partly. After we got to Hargeon." She answered.
"So Vegito can fly? Or did you use your magic?" Wakabe asked curiously.
"Oh he flew us I was surprised. I didn't know he was able too." She answered.
"Oh and by the way. I think Natsu caused some damage to Hargeon. When we got there most of the town was smoldering and chard. Could you send a letter to the master?" She inform them.
"That Natsu." Wakabe said. Wakabe and Macao chuckled in unison. "Did someone make fun of his hair again?" Macao asked still chuckling.
"I'm not sure. No telling with him. He's so high strung ya know?" She answered.
"Well in any case Mira. We'll take care of the letter. Oh man! Our Natsu sure is a loose cannon." Wakabe said.
Vegito got excited at hearing that thinking this will be a good fight.
"Ok later Mira." "Yea later Mira. You kids behave now." Wakabe ended the call with a smirk. Mira still facing away from Vegito until her blushing ceased. She kind of wanted to misbehave.
"Follow me." She said as she waved him on to follow her.
As they walked down the center path of the village. She notice a little corner store "Quick Corner" was it's name. It had odds and ends someone forgot until they got to town.
They walked in and she bought some deodorant. Vegito still not being able to read anything wondered what it was for. She paid and handed him the hand sized container. She whispered into his ear so as not to embarrass him too much. "It's deodorant you stink."
Vegito turning red as he thought back to her face buried into him while flying. "T-thanks Mira. I-I suppose this is going on my tab too."
She smiled giggling at his embarrassment. Once he finished she placed it in her small purse.
Finally they made it to the address of the job request poster. It was a smaller home compared to the more extravagant and larger homes. It is one of the first homes in the area.
Mira took the lead knocking at the door. "Hello! We're mages from Fairy Tail. We've come for your job request." They heard someone shuffling around and foot steps behind the door.
"Hello hello. We're so glad you came." The old man said as he opened the door. Stepping aside he said,"Come in come in. I'm sure you're tired from your travels." Noticing an older woman behind him. Mira gave a warm smile.
"Wow! Such a pretty thing as you!" The old lady exclaimed. "You also have a hunk behind you I see." She said while winking suggestively towards the well built Saiyan. "Is he your boyfriend dear?"
Mira blushing a little saying, "No, he's my friend." Secretly she hoped for more.
"Hey big boy how about you give this old lady some comfort." She said eyeing Vegito. "You old pervert of a woman leave him alone. You have me don't you?"
"You haven't been able to get it up in years dear." Chuckling as she emphasized years.
"You old bitch I'll show you later tonight who can't get what up!" retaliated the man.
"Tom that's no way to talk in front of our guests." She teased. "Whatever Martha! I'll show you!" clearly pissed.
Martha had caught a glimpse of Mira giving her a sour expression. Before she corrected herself smiling like she always did.
Tom stomped off. "I'll get some refreshments! You lead them into the living room!" He said angrily as he walked down the hallway disappearing in the back.
"I love pissing him off. One day young lady you'll understand that." She winked as she motioned them to follow.
Mira and Vegito looked at each other. Mira shaking her head at the absurdity, and Vegito shrugging his shoulders in confusion.
They sat in the living room. The two mages on the large comfy sofa. Martha sat in a chair across from them. With a coffee table in between them. They chatted for a few minutes. Martha wanted to wait until her husband returned before talking about the job. He finally emerged from the door they entered in though. Carrying a tray with a few crackers, cheese spread, and some tea. Martha began pouring the tea for her guests. While Tom opened the package of crackers and opening the tub of cheese spread.
"So our job we have is looking for our granddaughter. We think she ran away from home." Martha stated.
"What do you mean ran away? Why would she run?" Mira asked with a touch of interrogation in her words.
"Well we had an argument the night she disappeared. She was upset at what we said." Martha answered seemingly trying to avoid something.
"Could you be more specific? It might help get her to comply, and come home if we know the reason." Mira reasoned.
Tom said,"Well she was getting close with a neighbor's son. I don't mean to talk bad about someone I hardly know. But something about that boy seems off."
"How do you mean off?" Mira questioned.
"I can't place my finger on it. But he doesn't seem genuine like he's acting. He comes to the neighborhood block parties all the time. But it always seems like he thinks maliciously towards us." Tom answered.
Everyone noticed Martha sniff and a tear run down her face. The old husband who was irate earlier swearing and insulting his wife. Reach over placing his hand on her's.
She couldn't hold back her desperation for help any longer. Sobbing she spoke, "P-please." SNIFF SNIFF. "She's the only thing we have left after her mother passed. P-Please find her."
Deciding not to pry any further. She said in a gentle voice,"We'll do everything in our power to find her." Mira assured.
Vegito who was sitting on the sidelines as he let Mira do the talking. Couldn't help but think of his own sons. He felt bad for thinking about his own issues while this couple were asking for his help.
"Do you have any idea where they may have gone?" Vegito asked.
Tom answered, "The only place close enough would be a cave to the south. We've seen that boy recently today so we're not sure if he knows anything. But she had mentioned meeting him there once."
"Alright! Mira I think we have all the information we need." Grabbing her hand in an urgency to start their search.
They bid the couple farewell for now headed south.
They headed towards a treeline in the distance. Mira said,"Why were you so quick to leave? We could have asked them more questions for more places to look?"
"Well I noticed the guy they were talking about in that store we went to earlier." He answered.
"How would you know with such a vague description?" Puzzled and rejecting the idea.
"You know that feeling you get just by making eye contact that something's wrong? Well that's the feeling I got." He assured. They knew the look of a killer better than anyone else. They had both grown up dealing with such people. Either being one and thinking like one, or standing up to them.
"Well I think we should have gotten a better description of him, and where we could find him. Before we just go somewhere on a hunch." She argued. "Besides how do you know he's in this direction?"
Vegito thought at her words. While it would have been safer to get a better description and a place where he'd be, that would also take precious time that they might need. "Well I can sense his energy, and have been ever sense I saw him."
"Wait? What?" She asked in confusion.
"Even here every living thing has a ki signature in them. So far besides me everyone is very very low. But it's identical to who they are. Like a fingerprint." Mira remembered their talk about ki and magic. She didn't remember him saying he could track someone with it.
"Do you sense my ki? How far away would I have to be before you couldn't sense me?" Curiously she asked.
"Hmmm. I can barely sense Wakabe, and Macao's energy. I can tell that there is a third one with them. Beyond that I can't say for sure." He stated.
"Don't be spying on me when I go to the restroom Perv." She teased giggling
Vegito didn't notice her teasing remark, and answered absentmindedly,"I can't tell what you're doing exactly. I can only locate you."
She giggled at his answered totally one track minded.
They walked up to the cave entrance. They could tell it went down lower as they walked down the path it became harder and harder to see.
They noticed a faint glow further on. But couldn't judge how far as they approach they saw it T'ed a left and a right. Vegito grab ahold of Mira's hand. Trying to keep their talking to a minimum. He still wasn't sure what to expect if he got into a fight to the death. So they move forward cautiously.
"Drip,Plunk" The water forming on the ceiling dropping causing an unsettling sound. It echoed through out the cave.
He could feel a number of energies, and one he knew to be that guy. The other's he wasn't so sure.
"Thump, thump" hearts pick up the pace being ready to act at a moments notice. Not knowing who they were up against. Vegito still uncertain as to how powerful magic was in this world. From what he saw in Hargeon, it works differently here. Even in his home universe, magic could grant immortality, allowing someone to live through a blast meant to destroy a star. Ki was powerless against something like that. Sure he could hit and beat on them for a while but he would run out of power eventually. If magic here was anything like in his home world, and being able to blast with it, that might be troublesome to deal with. He wasn't sure how to combat something like that.
"Drip,Plunk"
He leaned into Mira's ear. Quietly whispering what he felt. She nodded in understanding. She was starting to worry if this might be too much for them. Unsure of herself, and unsure of him. Her brain screamed get out get back up but her gut said trust him. She didn't know why but she trusted her new guild mate far more than she should after only 2 days. It wasn't uncommon for simple jobs to turn into something more, but how much more was the question. Was it bandit pay, Monster pay, or S-Class pay quality. They wouldn't know until they confronted whoever was here.
"Drip,Plunk"
Her companion stops peering around a corner. He silently points and motions for her to look as she looked she noticed 9 men guessing them to be bandits. She also noticed in a corner there laid a girl. She couldn't have been much younger than Lisanna when she was taken. Her clothes were ripped she was bruised. Mira thought the worst happened worse than death in her eyes. She trembled, and a tear made it's way out as she thought what if. "Drip, Plunk"
Before she could finish her thought Vegito pulled her in the opposite direction a little ways from the corner they were just at.
"How many did you count?" Asking quietly.
"Ten. Including the girl." She replied.
"That's funny. I counted the same but I feel one more I didn't see." He stated.
"Thump, thump"
"We can't just leave her." Mira now being abandoning earlier thought of getting back up from the guild. When time was of the essence.
"Look." He pulled a little brown sack he had tied to his belt. "Take this. Untie her then have her eat this. Then you two get out of here. I'll draw their attention." He summarized his plan.
Still in a whisper she stated in a firm resolve. "I can't just leave you to fight by yourself." As she finished he put a finger to her lips. "I'll be fine. But I'm not sure if I can protect you two and fight them to my fullest. Now's the time to see how my power stacks up to your people's."
"Now..." she stopped as he walked towards the opening.
"Hey lowlifes! Try picking on someone who can fight back!" Vegito spoke to his opponents.
The men looked and attacked. Vegito thought it was odd none of then responded in words. He could tell by they way they ran, they were like machines all program no intelligence.
In a flash he moved at warp speed. Snap vanishing and landed heavy haymakers to each. Several were imbedded in the cavern wall. One crashed deeply through it. Another bounced off of several walls like a pinball. "Well that was easy." He said a little disappointed.
"Thump, thump" the sound of a heavy heart.
Mira got to the girl. She could feel something sticky on her legs as she unbound the poor girl. Some sticky white leakage running along the inside of her thigh. Mira's fear was realized. The girl had been used, brutally for someone's enjoyment. She undid her hands and removed her gag. Smacking the young girl to see if she was conscious. "Wake up sweetheart." She gently said. "Thump, thump" The girl's eyes flickered lifelessly before stopping their movement. She looked over the girl more thoroughly. There were bite marks on her chest. "Drip, plunk" Ranging from her neck to her breast a nipple had been bitten off. "Drip, plunk" Mira hugged the girl broken hearted sobbing uncontrollably, "Thump, thump", "Ve-vegito! He-help me wi-with her. It It's so horrible." Vegito rushed over looking over the girl.
"Thump, thump", his heart race as he felt the pressure rise in him. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. They haven't seen this before. Sure mass extinction, planets destroy, But those were quick. This was just so much damage to one person.
"Crack, thud, thud" a small rock broke out of place bouncing around until it found it's new place. In this darkness filled cave. The only sources of light, were weak flames. "Thump, thump"
"HEY! YOU PIECE OF FUCKING DOG SHIT! COME OUT AND FACE A TRUE WARRIOR!" At that he snapped oh he was ungodly pissed. His aura flared to life flickering between gold and his normal color His eyes flickering too. The roar of his aura filled the cavern it was deafening. "HHHHHOOOOOOOORRRRR" Electric sparks jetted out randomly, Scattering about taking the life of the few flames that emitted light. "FOOOFFOOOFFOFOOFFOO" Aura surging the only source of light in the darkness. He tried calming himself while he flickered between dark and light. In the end...
"Crack, tink, thud" a larger rock set free in the distance caused by the low rumble of surging energy.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHH" Finally he transformed. His now Golden hair with two bangs hanging over his forehead, green eyes electric charges raced randomly across his aura, and body.
He turned towards the direction he felt the energy from. "ALL RIGHT SHIT FOR BRAINS! EAT THIS!"
Taking a lunge like stance. Two balls of energy forming in his hands combining them, and drawing them to his right side.
"FINAL KA ME HA ME HAAAAAAA"
Thrusting his two arms locked at the wrist. Left had pointed down right hand pointed up. A bright beam of energy erupted from his hands blasting straight through the cavern wall.
Mira looked in shock at the huge hole blasted. No burned through the cavern wall through several tons of earth. The night sky now shown through.
"Bitch!" He said mockingly spitting on the ground in disgust.
"Coward ran away." He said as he turned to face a tear streaked face.
"Are you sure you didn't kill him?" She reasoned. She didn't know if anything could survive that.
"No I felt his energy traveling away from us." He answered. "In any case." He said as he stripped. Mira blushing,"Are you sure that's necessary?" She said looking away thinking he was another Gray.
"Don't get your panties in a knot ok! Just put these on her and let's go!" He said still irritated at not making the assailant pay through torture.
Mira was taken back a little he had been so calm, cool, and collected up until now. She could see the face of regret plastered plainly on his face. She did as he asked well told to do. She sobbed as she noticed more of damage that bastard inflicted on her. "How can people be so cruel and heartless."
"I guess evil will always be evil no matter which dimension you're in." He answered somberly.
"It's just so sad" whimpering as she spoke.
"That's why those with the power to protect should do just that!" He stated plainly but with authority.
She finished dressing her silently thinking about her own power maybe she needed to start using it again. "No way! I couldn't even protect her. How can I protect anyone."
Vegito walked up to the girls placing a hand on each vanishing from the cave.
Appearing in front of the old couple's home Vegito pick up the girls limp body. While she was alive she acted as though she were dead. He could only imagine the horror of being repeatedly violated no help in sight. She must have screamed intensely until that bastard put that swelling bruise on her jaw.
Mira still sad, and in wonder at another ability her new guild mate possessed.
"Mira can you get the door?" He said annoyed but quietly. He didn't look forward to the reactions he knew he would see. Any parent, grandparent, sister, uncle, or whoever would be broken after seeing this.
"I got it." She knocked frantically hoping they were still awake.
The door opened the same old man's eyes drifted from Mira and Vegito with a smile until. His face slowly turned into a frown. Walking towards his motionless granddaughter tears creeping silently down his face. "Ka-Karen... Ka-Ka-ren... Wake u-p." Choking on his sorrow filled words.
"Tom who is it? Tell them we aren't interested. Get in here and sho..." Martha yelled. Mira had to look away for fear of crying more she was tired of crying.
The old woman got to the threshold screaming the most horrifically pained scream, speechless she sobbed loudly. Her husband trying hard to remain strong for his wife. Picked his granddaughter up carrying her into his home.
Vegito and Mira stared at the ground feeling helplessness.
Several minutes later they began speaking with Tom. "I don't know how to think you for finding her." He paused for a moment his voice still cracking between words. "I just wish we never let her out of our sight to begin with."
"I wish we had brought that bastard to justice." Vegito thought filled with rage filling his mind. "One day I will find him, and teach him the true meaning of FEAR!"
"Let me give you the Jewels we agreed on." Both Mira and Vegito shook their head in unison.
"We couldn't at this time. It doesn't feel right under the circumstances." Vegito reasoned.
"I insist. We never would have found her if it wasn't for you."
Mira nudged Vegito and handed him his grey sack. "Here! This is a senzu bean. When she's ready to eat give her this it will help."
They exchanged the jewels and a senzu bean. Vegito grab a hold of her hand and vanished after the door closed.
Back at Fairy Tail it was like a party that never stopped hooting and hollering. Laughing and teasing. You'd never guess that anyone felt alone here or that there was any pain in the world.
"Gray your clothes!" A girl named Cana said while drinking at the bar.
"Oh shit!" Gray said running around looking for his clothes.
"Stupid pervert! Get some clothes on!" A pink haired boy yelled.
"What'd you say flame brain. I don't speak idiot!" Gray said while the two headbutted yelling insults.
"Natsu! Gray! Take a chill pill!" Cana yelled towards them. "GRAY YOUR CLOTHES!"
"I don't have time for that right now Cana!" Gray argued.
Just then Vegito and Mira appeared above the two fighting mages. Falling Gray, and Natsu jumped out of the way, of the falling people. A thud sounded Mira, and vegito ended up in a questionable position.
Vegito on his back Mira on top her face press to his chest.
"Hey you two. I didn't think you'd hit it off so quick." Macao teased.
"They're in love." Happy sang.
"When's the wedding?" Wakabe chimed in.
Vegito and Mira reddened at being the center of attention to make matters worse Mira's dress had flipped open exposing a very interesting choice of panties.
"Big sis! I didn't know you still wore those." Her brother Elfman stated. What he meant was the picture of a stuffed bear on her rear.
Mira was stunned in embarrassment feeling unable to move she reddened more. She couldn't believe her luck then they vanished again.
"Hey where'd you two go?" Wakabe questioned.
They heard movement in a room off to the side. "Damn Vegito! I guess flying isn't the only thing you're fast at." Macao joked.
Tears streaming down Wakabe's face, "Our Mira has finally became a woman."
"Hey! What do you mean?" Elfman bellowed. "They're is no way I'm allowing him to touch my sis! Damn pervert! That's not manly at all!"
Vegito and Mira appear in his room. Both still embarrassed from being picked on sat in silence trying to regain some dignity.
A pounding on the door. "You better keep your hands off of my sister you creep!" Elfman roared through the door.
After the day they had Vegito was at the end of his fuse, "That's enough of this shit" he mumbled. Bolting to the door he flung it open, and cause a ripple effect of his ki. Pushing Elfman back onto the floor near the bar.
"SHUT UP YOU FOOLS!" Looking primarily at Elfman he began to open his mouth.
Then the guild hall doors flung open a giant of a man. "YOU FOOLISH BRATS!" Natsu still going at it with Gray. The giants fist slammed down hard stopping Natsu. "Listen to me when I am speaking Natsu!"
The giant lumbered towards the bar. "You kids always get me in trouble with the council!" His form shrank until he was just his short old man self. He jumped rather high for an old geezer. Up to the second floor railing he must have miss judged the height of it. Because as he flipped he landed on his back against the side of the railing.
He recovered giving a little cough. "You know what I say? To hell with those blow hards. Follow the path you believe in. You're magic can't grow when confined by so many rules. BECAUSE THIS IS FAIRY TAIL, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES US NUMBER 1!" he ended his speech by burning the stack of papers in his hand then throwing them into the air. Natsu jumping up to eat the fire.
The attention on Mira and Vegito seemed too die down. The rest of the night involved Vegito meeting and talking to a number of guild mates. Mira told the master about what happened he seemed interested in his new kid's abilities and things he talked to Mira about.
It got late as everyone started to file out one by one. The master went to his room Mira helped close the guild hall down. Vegito had disappeared still in a foul mood.
Author's Note: Updated as of 11/20/15
Hey everyone enjoying this. Or not. I had this wrote up Sunday, and was going to edit and post it for Monday. We'll it's Friday as I am writing this note. I decided mid way through editing to say fuck it hold of until Friday or Saturday to post. Good thing I did. I was (is) such a long chapter. At least for me an 8,000 word behemoth. I hope it doesn't drag on and get boring. Even editing I couldn't find too much to take out to shorten. I actually took very little out to use in a later chapter, then added a little more to it. I hope it reads good.
While I am trying to split between the two characters. It looks like at least for will be less of a focus. Mainly because I'm still looking for a combination of spells that will at least give him a hard time. I don't think I'll be able to find anyone that can go toe to toe with him this early on. I have a few ideas. I was going to have a full on fight this chapter with someone I had thought of using. Who was dead before the main story. I think only one in Fairy tail would have recognized him. But I ended up scraping that to mess around with his personality. Trying to find that happy middle ground between goku and vegeta. Other than a fight there really aren't any good examples of his reactions to his other relationships.
Now the Arc's. I am trying not to cut too much into them. I don't really want to rewrite an entire arc, and have to account for every change. So I will try to keep the changes small so as you're reading you can say "ok so this changed but it doesn't seem to change what everyone else is doing." I won't make Vegito another Goku in this. Everyone in Fairy Tail will keep their glory, and it will be a team effort. I've written up to chapter 4 so far, and I can think of many ways magic will interfere with Vegito stealing the spotlight.
Anyways I hope you enjoy. Questions/comments? Suggestions? Thank for taking the time to read this.
