Chapter 4

It only took about an hour for Jay to reach to Magnolia Town. The town was quiet, the street lamps were burning brightly, people can be heard laughing in the distance, and the moonlight shone over the guild hall like it was an sacred relic. In front of the guild is Makarov waiting just as he promised but wasn't alone, next to him was Cana. Surprised by her presense, Jay rushed towards the guild as quickly as possible.

Jay: (out of breath) "I...I...I..."

Makarov: "Breath, Jay. I'm surprised how quickly you've recovered."

Jay: (regained breath) "Well I'm glad to see you unhurt. So...what is it do you want me to see about? Also, why are you here Cana?"

Makarov: "Cana's here because she wants to help you."

Jay: "Help me?"

Makarov: "I'll explain it inside." (opened the doors, waited for Jay and Cana to enter, and closed it) "You may be wondering why was I with the Templars in chains during the night you came. As you may or may not know, I was kidnapped before I could even reach Clover Town. However there's a reason why they kidnapped me," (pulls something from the inside of his coat, something Jay was shocked to see) "it's all because of this! Do you recognize it, Jay? Luckily I didn't bring it with me during my kidnapping."

Jay: "The Apple of Eden! How's that even possible?! The only thing that was with me was..." (suddenly realized) "OH SHIT! THE SPHERE OF AITA! I FORGOT IT IN MY BACKPACK AT THE HOTEL BACK AT CROCUS AND THE REST OF MY STUFF!"

Makarov: "Don't worry, I asked Erza to go and pick up your things the day after we returned. All of them are back at your apartment as we speak," (took out the Sphere of Aita from his pocket) "except for this. I went to your place, picked it up, and kept it with me until you returned." (throws the Sphere at Jay and caught it)

Jay: "Thank you." (put the Sphere in his pocket) "How can this be here? This doesn't make any sense. How could the Apple be here?"

Makarov: "It's not the only thing that came." (reach hand out) "May I?" (Jay gives the Apple back to Makarov) "A few days after you came here Jay, there was rumors of strange lights and sounds over at the shoreline caves not far from here. I went to check and discovered this along with different items with similar patterns, when nighttime fell I brought every single one here to the guild and hid them only I can get through."

Jay: "Where did you hid them, exactly?"

Without saying a word, Makarov walked over the bar counter and grabbed hold on one of the bottles but to Jay's and Cana's surprise it wasn't a bottle at all but rather it's a lever. This cause one of the tables to move aside to reveal a secret passageway leading down to a barely-lit room.

Cana: "Is that where those strange items are that?"

Makarov: "Yes. Follow me, both of you."

They did what Makarov said and followed him to the passageway. They made it to the barely-lit room and can see it's filled with different artifacts with the same pattern shining like gold.

Cana: "It's beautiful."

Jay: "But also dangerous to handle. The Pieces of Eden were originally used by those who came before to enslave their creations, the human race. Two of them then decided to revolve and gained freedom for all, their names are Adam and Eve. Unfortunately only a few had survived due to the Toba catastrophe came and wiped out almost everything from the First Civilization. As you already know, the Assassins and Templars fight each other for years but not for freedom but for control of the Pieces themselves. If the Templars gets a hold of any of them, then the world would be screwed but if the Assassins grab hold then we would either hide them or use them for peace."

Cana: "Incredible. Amazing these things came here."

Makarov: "It's not just the Pieces themselves that came as well but these too."

Marakov pointed to a hallway where at the other side is a large room filled with mannequins all covered with unique clothes weapons.

Makarov: "Strangely they were in individuals chests, all with the same weapons but with different one as well. Now the mannequins themselves I made them myself."

Jay: "Why didn't you tell me you had all of this?"

Makarov: "I was a fool...to be honest, I thought if you were old enough you could handle it as a responsible young man but you already know what to do and I forbid you from perform them. I forced you to take a path and watched you become someone you aren't. I didn't know someone was with you until it was too late, his intentions for world control has now corrupted many souls even the strongest of mages can't handle. What I'm trying to say to you, Jay...I need you to rebuild the Brotherhood the way it was from your universe. But I need you to keep it a secret, not even the Ten Wizards Saints must not know. Does the Brotherhood choose anyone to join?"

Jay: "Only to those who can handle the truth and swear not to reveal of our actions can join the Brotherhood."

Makarov: "In that case, I want you to take Cana in as your first member. After all, she now possesses that 'Eagle Vision' thanks to you."

Cana: "So does that means I'm in?"

Jay: "Not yet, there's the initiation but only a Master or Mentor can perform them. However since I'm the only one with the most knowledge, I suppose I'll become the Mentor. We'll start the initiation in a few hours so until then, I'll let you choose your Assassin robes. When you're done I'll choose mine."

For a few minutes, Cana was searching through the different robes and armors until she stumbled upon an outfit that interest her. She grabbed hold of the mannequin and headed for the other room in order to change. Jay was next and immediately grabbed strange looking armor and walked to a different hour has passed, a small bonfire is burning brightly on top of the guild, and Makarov was setting up a pair of tongs with the tips deep within the fire. Jay made it now wearing the most strangest armor he had ever seen, it had a mix of bronze and gold and underneath is a dark navy blue coat with matching pants. He also have two pistols behind him, with a two sabers on each side of his waist, and two hidden blades. But the one thing that made him look different was his hair now tied in a small ponytail.

Makarov: "For a minute, I thought you were someone else."

Jay: "Oh very funny."

Makarov: "Now the last thing to show your true self is to drop the accent."

Jay: "What do you mean, I don't have an accent?"

Makarov: "Come now, there were times I can hear your real accent underneath that fake one you're currently speaking."

Jay: "Fine." (voice suddenly changed) "There, you happy now?"

Makarov: "So that's how you really sound like. What is it?"

Jay: "It's British. I was born in Great Britain."

Cana: "Whatever this Great Britain is at, your speech sound so weird."

Cana was standing behind them now wearing Assassin's robes with a matching Tricorne on her head.

Jay: (examining her clothes) "Not bad. They suit you."

Cana: "Thank you."

Jay: "Since that's now out of the way, let us begin."

Cana walked in front of the bonfire while Jay walked over to the other side.

Jay: "Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember..."

Cana: "Nothing is true."

Jay: "Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember..."

Cana: "Everything is permitted."

Jay: "We work in the dark to serve the light. We are Assassins." (grabbed the tongs from the fire) "Remove your left glove and stretch out your arm."

Cana did as she was told, she watched as Jay carefully stamped her ring finger leaving a burn mark of the Brotherhood behind.

Jay: "This will signify your status as one of us." (put the tongs down) "Welcome...to the Neo Assassin Brotherhood, the successors of the original Brotherhood." (walked over to a plank) "Now...to prove your worthy, you must perform a Leap of Faith."

Cana walked on top of a plank and look down only to find a large pile of leaves. Without hesitation, she jumped and landed straight into the pile below while Jay follow behind her.

Somewhere in Fiore, three Templars are sitting in a round table arguing about what had happened at Crocus.

Templar #1: "How couldn't the Grand Master see this outcome? We lost both him and eighty-eight members in that fire started by that Assassin!"

Templar #2: "He seems to be more intelligent than we thought."

Templar #3: "That little punk is going to be trouble for us. If we don't do something there will be a possibly he'll start the Brotherhood."

Just then, another Templar came in and sat down with the Templars.

Templar #1: "You're late."

Templar #4: "Sorry, but there was an emergency meeting with the Wizard Saints and as one of them I have no choice but to join. If they figure out I'm performing anything unusual they'll strip me of my rank and send me to prison."

Templar #3: "I don't understand why the Grand Master choose you to join us if you can't seem to keep your actions a secret."

Templar #4: "Are you trying to get me angry?"

Templar #2: "That's enough! Before the Grand Master left he told me if anything happens to him like his death for example, he wants all four of us to form a council along with access to become Grand Master ourselves."

Templar #1: "Very well, today the four of us...Heilyn Crewe, Aline Belanger, and Jose Porla and I, Aedan Brosnan shall start the Templar Council immediately. Our first order of business, is to eliminate that Assassin and any associates who came in contact with him by any means necessary."
