Chapter 1
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M UP! Stupid alarm clock. 7:25...CRAP! I'M LATE! HE'S GOING TO HAVE MY HEAD FOR SURE!"
It has been six years since Jay came to this universe, during his first few minutes interacting with Makarov Dreyer he told him everything about the Assassin Brotherhood, their battle against a secret society called the Templars, and how he got here. After hearing his story Makarov then decided it was best for Jay to leave his past behind and begin a new one. Now nineteen, Jay has become a S-Class mage at Fairy Tail who specializes in Sword Magic but there are times where he misses his old life...as an Assassin.
Jay: "Hey Master Makarov, sorry I was late again."
But Makarov was nowhere to seen, he wasn't over at the counter as usual. Jay tried looking in his office but he wasn't there either.
Jay: "That's weird, he's still hasn't come back from his trip at Clover Town."
Familiar Voice: "What's the matter."
Jay looked over to find Mirajane Strauss coming over to serve him his usual bottle of beer and an ice-bag for his head.
Jay: "Morning Mira, I was looking for Master Makarov but he's not here. Normally he would hit me on the head for being late again." (drinks beer but leaves the ice bag untouched) "You can take the ice bag back. I know Makarov cares for us like we are his children but it feels like he's just putting pressure on me the most since I'm possibly the only one in the whole guild who didn't go on a single contract yet somehow becomes a high-ranking wizard like you. I mostly get the money just by doing odd jobs here in Magnolia Town, unlike my old life."
Mirajane: "Oh yeah, what was your old life like?"
Jay: "It's personal." (Thought: "That's right, only Makarov knows about it. "It would be wise not to speak of your past," that's what he would say to me before I leave back to my apartment.")
Mirajane: "Alright then, catch you later." (takes the ice bag with her)
Jay: "You too." (talking to himself) "Well, here we go with the same routine I'm been doing for the past six years; Nothing will look good on the Contract Board, try to ask Cana to go on a date with me having her say no again, find a small job to work for just a few hours, come back here for another beer, and return home so I may sleep and wake up do it all over again the next day." (finishes beer and left it on the counter, walks over to the Contract Board) "Let's see what's on the board for today. Not that one, definitely not that, don't enjoy making my own food...just as I thought, nothing."
But before Jay could take a step back from the board he noticed something underneath the piles of paper. He carefully removed the contracts only to find the one he was looking at, it's written in Latin with a photo of a man on the top-right corner. Jay then take the contract and put the others back.
Jay: "How could this be? What is this language doing here? It's supposed to be back at my universe." (translates the contract quietly)
"A politician guilty of rape, murder, conspiracy, and prostitution has just been released from prison is continuing his crimes from within the shadows. Kill him by any means necessary. He is located at Crocus. Your reward will be 50,000,000 Jewels if the work is 100% complete." -Anonymous
P.S.-If you succeeded without being seen by witnesses, I will add another 50,000,000 to the reward adding a total of 100,000,000 Jewels.
Jay: (Thought: "This sounds very familiar to an assassination contract back home and why is it over at Crocus?")
As Jay folded and put away the contract in his pocket, Cana came up from behind him surprising him.
Jay: "Holy shit Cana, I hate it when you do that."
Cana: "I see you finally found a contract, what it's about?"
Jay: (trying to come up with a lie) "Just to escort a millionaire, he lives at Onibus and wishes to be escorted over to Crocus."
Cana: "That's a long way away, you going to need some help."
Jay: "It's okay, I can handle it. There's no need for you to get involved in this, I'm going to tell Erza where I'll be going for the next couple of days."
Jay then walked over to where Erza is sitting and told her about his "contract". She just nodded her head meaning she'll let him go.
Erza: (calling to Jay before he walked through the doors) "And remember, try not to cause any trouble for Fairy Tail!"
Jay: "Don't worry I won't." (leaves the guild hall)
After Jay went back to his apartment, he packed up on food, clothes, and weapons. Among one of them is a home-made hidden blade he created from screws, springs, bolts, bits of metal, and the blade itself is a butter knife completely modified to look like a small dagger.
Jay: (strapping the hidden blade on his left arm) "I hope this thing don't break. It would've been easier if Master Makarov didn't took away my other one and destroyed it." (concealed it with his long-sleeved shirt) "Oh well, this will have to do for now."
The weather had changed from better to worse as a large rain storm came down on the countryside, despite this Jay struggles to Crocus so he may figure out who is the anonymous person that sent the contract to the guild and kill his target. It took him several days 'till at last he made it to Crocus tired but determined. His clothes are slightly torn, the sleeves are soaked in blood from medium-sized cuts but weren't fatal, and his face was covered in blood, sweat, and mud.
Jay: (sitting down on a bench) "You don't fool me Cana, come out of the shadows and reveal yourself to the light!"
Cana: "How'd you know I was trailing? I was far behind you."
Jay: "I knew you were following me the moment I left town. Hard to believe you went through that rain storm just to spy on me."
Cana: "I wasn't spying, I was just want to know where you're going and what you're doing!"
Jay: "That's called spying."
Cana: (sat down next to him) "Whatever. By the way, aren't you supposed to go to Onibus first to pick up..."
Jay: "That's just a lie to get your back off of mine's let alone Erza's. God knows what she'll do to me if I wasn't telling the truth and I doubt she'll figure it out, after all I am an expert on lying. One more thing, your hands are bleeding."
Cana: (looks at her hands) "Didn't notice that 'till now, but I'll take care of that later. So back to business, if the mission you said is a lie, then what is it actually?"
Jay: (pulls the contract from his pocket, unfolded it, and gives it to Cana) "The answer to your question is on this paper."
Cana: "I can't read it, it's in some form of strange writing. If Levy was here..."
Jay: "Even if she was here, Levy will have a pretty hard time decoding it. It's Latin, it was used everyday where I came from until it became classified as a dead language. It says someone is willing to hire anybody to pull off an assassination attempt and will pay said assassin 50,000,000 Jewels, however if not seen by anyone else then it'll be 100,000,000 Jewels."
Cana: "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Jay: "Keep it down."
Cana: "All that money for killing a man. With that reward, this should be an S-Class mission."
Jay: "Aren't you forgetting? I'm an S-Class mage while you on the other hand are not." (takes the contract from her and points it) "But if one looks closely, there's no one rank description which is actually puzzling me in a very uncomfortable way."
Cana: "Maybe there's some hidden message or something we can't see through the human eye."
Jay: "Cana, that's it!"
Cana:"What's it?"
Jay: "Who said something about not seeing certain things through the human eye, right? For you maybe, but not to me."
Cana: "What are you talking about?"
Jay: "Hold on a second, it been a while since I done this." (holds the paper above his knees)
Cana: "Done what?"
As Cana grabbed his arm, the blood from her cut got mixed in with his blood eventually causing her to see nothing but white then blacked out.
She woke up in an unfamiliar room seeing everything black but was starting to freak out from seeing Jay completely blue.
Cana: (voice in mutter) "What's happening? Why's everything black, why are you glowing blue, and why is my voice sounds like it's covered with a cloth?"
Jay: (voice in mutter) "Just calm down, I can explain everything. All you have to do is calm down and it'll fade away."
Cana did what Jay said and a minute later, her vision changed back to her original state. Cana can now see that Jay and herself are in a hotel room, the cuts on her hands are wrapped around in bandages, she see Jay's arms, face, and feet are in the same state as hers.
Jay: "Remember when you found me on the beach six years ago? You carried my body several miles in order to get me to the guild hall and attended to my injuries. Well, I just did the same to you; it's kind of ironic when you think about it."
Cana: "How long have I been out for?"
Jay: "It wasn't that long, only an hour."
Cana: "What happened?"
Jay: "When you grabbed my arm to get a closer look at the contract, the blood from your cuts got mixed in with mine causing you to pass out. It seems mage's blood don't get along well with my blood."
Cana: "But aren't a mage?"
Jay: "It's true I am but wasn't in my old life."
Cana: "We knew each other for a long time, I think it's time you tell me what you are."
Jay: "Before I came here, I was a member to a secret society who are sworn to prevent another group like us from taking over the world. Where I'm from, it actually takes place in another universe."
Cana: "You're joking right?"
Jay: (took something out of backpack, a sphere-shaped object made of brass) "You call this a joke?"
Jay activated the object creating large projections of maps, designs, and footage of battles. After it was over, Cana looked surprised and frightened.
Cana: (frightened yet brave) "Who...are you?"
Jay: "I am an assassin. There's a lot of things you're going to know about me and the battle I once fought in secrecy for a very long time."
