The Fallout 6

Scream

SORRY FOR THE LACK OF UPDATES. It's exam period in my school and I've just been busy in general. I promise that the next chapter will come sooner than this one.

"Rise, Lucy," Makarov commanded. Levy, Gray, Jellal and many other angels were at the ceremony. Lucy had managed to get an acquaintance named Yukino to help Wendy.

"You have demonstrated both skill and bravery on your mission. Because of this, I hereby declare you a Gold Angel!"

Lucy's wings and halo started to glow. Her wings grew larger and more feathers appeared. The golden colour gleamed brightly, with the exception of one spot.

Levy, the smartest and most vigilant of the group, noticed a small spot that was barely visible, but due to her shortness, she could see it. Instead of gleaming brightly in the light, it seemed to be grey. Perhaps it was the shadows?

Levy shook off the thought of the strange spot and smiled brightly as Lucy's wings stopped glowing. Her halo continued to glow, it would forever stay that bright. Her golden wings were large and glorious.

Everyone cheered and clapped as Lucy curtsied to Makarov and flew out of the throne room into the courtyard. All of her close friends followed behind.

"Well, how do you like your new wings?" Jellal asked.

"They're beautiful! They fly far and smoothly, I love them!" Lucy proudly flapped them a few times.

"They look really nice Lu-chan! I hope that I can get to your level soon," Levy complimented.

"I think you have nothing to worry about," Gray said to Levy, "But I have exciting news for you guys."

"Really?" the other angels asked.

"Yeah, Makarov said that I could participate in the Angel Exam!" Gray exclaimed. The Angel Exam was an exam that Minor Angels took to become Angels. Unlike the missions you were sent on to become a Gold Angel, it took place in heaven.

"Really? Good job! Know anyone who's participating too?" Lucy inquired.

"Yeah, I think her name is Medly? Meddie? I can't remember, something like that," Gray shrugged.

"Should we battle some time?" Jellal suggested.

"No thank you!" Gray said quickly, causing everyone to laugh. Gold Angels didn't have their title for nothing. They were extremely powerful, but Gray wasn't a weakling, his power was enough for him to almost become a Gold Angel. It was his stripping habit that held him back.

"I figured you would say that, but you are quite strong Gray," Jellal said.

"Yeah, and you would look much stronger if you were wearing your shirt," Levy sighed.

"Gah! When did that happen?" Gray looked around frantically.

"Am I the only one getting a sense of deja vu?" Lucy whispered to Jellal.

"Guys! I found it! It was behind a plant!" Gray waves his shirt around and put it back on his toned chest.

"Nope," Jellal sweat dropped.

"Is my suspicion correct?" Makarov asked impatiently.

"Yes, the girl is a dragon slayer," the woman replied.

"Argh! It's not that I think she's weak or that I don't like her, but she's new and can't control everything. It's all based on emotion," Makarov sighed, sipping from his cup of fruit juice.

"Of course," the woman nodded.

"Oh, Porlyusica, I hope that she is going to be alright," Makarov shook his head. Porlyusica was a reclusive angel that was skilled in medicine. She was old and wise, and was a friend of Makarov's.

"But a dragon slayer!?" Makarov suddenly exclaimed, causing the pink haired woman to flinch, "That's just too much! And she is young! No matter how strong she is, her body will only be able to take so much. How will we train her? As extensive as our libraries go, dragon slaying magic is difficult! What if something goes wrong and the world-"

"This is why I hate you angels!" Porlyusica screamed, hitting Makarov with a broom. "You fret and worry and are just as loud about it!"

"But to think such a heavy weight was placed upon a young girl..." Makarov took another sip.

"I'm sure it was given to her for a reason. She has already saved someone after all," Porlyusica reassured. She shooed Makarov out after her started to babble again about how he couldn't retire from his position.

"How is your puppet?" a deep voice asked.

"He has gained not only trust but respect from many demons," a lighter voice responded.

"How nice, before long he will play a vital part in our plan," the other cackled.

"You have told me very little so I am at quite a loss for what I am to do, sire," the light voice said.

"Well, first we target the dragon slayers," the deep voice started, "This sends all worlds into chaos, worried about their friends, while the mortal world is a mess!"

"That is genius!" the light voice laughed.

"Why?" a different voice asked, "Why!?"

"Oh you know why, Mavis," the voice said calmly. "The dragon slayers, while they don't know it, their health and emotions correspond with the mortal world. If they are angry, the element will go crazy, if they are sad it's element will carry on for a long time, if they are happy their element will be balanced. If they are unhealthy their element will be scarce. They are what will throw the world into chaos!"

"How dare you!" Mavis shouted.

The voice cackled, "Yes...Laxus who controls lightning, with him in distress electrical devices shall stop and storms will be unrelenting! Gajeel, the iron dragon slayer! Iron things will rust and break, sturdy things will fall. Sting and Rogue, not only will night and day be inconsistent, but people will no longer be as 'light' or 'dark' as they usually are! Natsu, his fire will allow forest fires to pop up, volcanoes that should be sleeping to erupt and send things ablaze! Cobra, sickness will spread and kill the humans! And...a small girl, Wendy. She will cause the winds to be uncontrollable, tornadoes and hurricanes blowing through cities!"

The voice laughed again, "Yes! The dragon slayers will destroy the world!"

"Sire," a meek voice said.

"What do you want?" the strong, deep voice shot.

"Err, your, test is here," the voice mumbled.

"Perfect!" the deep voice said gleefully, all was going to plan.

"May I ask, what will one such as him do? He isn't a dragon slayer," the meek voice asked.

"Ah, but he will aid in breaking them! I know two dragon slayers that will be affected! With Shagotte's plan, another one, or maybe two will also be affected. From there, it's a chain reaction, this is going perfectly," the dark figure explained.

"Bring him here!" the dark figure ordered.

"Alegria! Why are you doing all of this!? How will you benefit!?" Mavis cried.

"I thought I already answered that. With this, I can control the humans, angels and demons. Loneliness, despair, pain, they will all feel it! Even if it is indirect and unfull, it will still affect them! Once control is gained, their realms will be mine!" Alegria declared.

"He is here, sire," the small voice intervened.

"Ah, good job," Alegria switched his tone of voice to a false softer one, "Now then, tell me your name."

"No!"

"I promise I'll take good care of you, so won't you tell me?" Alegria pushed.

"I won't!"

"Hmm, well it doesn't matter then. I've already done my research on you, Romeo. You'll be a very good boy, won't you?" Alegria sneered.

The little boy's dark eyes grew in fear, as he was grabbed and taken to someplace unknown.

"Miraaaaa~" a voice slurred.

"Need something Cana?" Mira asked sweetly, unfazed by the drunk woman barely sitting on the bar stool.

"Hit me up!" Cana declared, hitting her mug onto the table.

"How many drinks have you had already? We spend so much on alcohol for you! Honestly!" Mira scowled.

"Mmm...eight?" Cana giggled.

"Full mugs?" Mira asked.

"Mhm!" Cana sat up proudly.

"Well...I suppose I can give you one more..." Mira smiled, grabbing the mug and filling it up.

"Yeeahh!" Cana cheered before slumping onto the counter.

"Juvia thinks Cana-san shouldn't drink this much before dinner," the blue haired girl said. She had been sitting not far away from them, keeping quiet.

"Naaah...I'm just gettin' started!" Cana sat up, nearly falling back onto the ground.

"Would you like anything, Juvia?" Mira asked, setting down Cana's mug. Cana immediately lifted it to her mouth and took a huge swig.

"Juvia is waiting for Erza-san," Juvia stated.

"Oh?" Mira tilted her head sideways. She and Erza always had a friendly rivalry going on. They were always trying to show who was stronger. Their fights consisted of snarky comments and screams that came from anyone who witnessed it. Mira was intrigued that Juvia was waiting for Erza, surely she could do something.

"Yes, Juvia wishes to borrow her needles," Juvia nodded.

"Needlesss?" Cana gurgled.

"Yes, Juvia was thinking of knitting something for Gajeel-kun," Juvia replied.

"Oh! Really? Do like-"

"No! Juvia doesn't like Gajeel-kun like that," Juvia said quickly. She knew better than to get caught up in Mira's matchmaking mind, "Lily-san told Juvia that Gajeel-kun wanted a shrimp stuffed animal, and Juvia thought she would try to make one!"

Mira stifled a giggle. Juvia didn't know that Gajeel called a certain someone 'Shrimp'.

"Well, I may not be able to give you needles, but I can help you on the design," Mira smiled a mischievous smile. She imagined a tiny blue shrimp with light brown eyes. Maybe even glasses as an accessory.

"Would you? Thank you Mira-san!" Juvia smiled back at Mira.

"Miraa~! Fill 'er up!" Cana shoved her empty beer mug across the counted towards Mira.

Gajeel banged open the doors, "Rain Women!"

"Juvia," Lily said far more politely.

"Gajeel-kun?" Juvia looked over at her friend.

"Uh, thanks for doing my shit..." Gajeel said awkwardly.

Lily inwardly face palmed, "He means to thank you for helping him. He's just too arrogant to say it."

"Am not!" Gajeel argued.

"Oh! Here's the lover boy now!" Cana pointed at Gajeel.

"Huh...?"

"Betcha can't wait to go up to your innocent little shrimm!" Cana said drunkenly enough that Gajeel couldn't catch onto exactly what she was saying. "And I betcha just wanna tie 'er down and-"

Mira shoved a large mug of beer in front of Cana to prevent her from going into detail.

"Can I get you anything, Gajeel?" Mira asked sweetly.

"Nah, I'm gonna go grab some iron later," Gajeel shrugged.

Of course Mira thought. Dragon slayers had the ability to eat their element, no matter how strange it was.

"Found you! Iron Ass!" a rowdy voice shouted.

Everyone-except for Cana who was enjoying her beer far too much-turned to see Natsu running at Gajeel with a fist.

Gajeel grinned and waited for Natsu to be only a few feet away before jumping up and turning his feet into iron rods, aiming for Natsu.

Natsu jumped out of the way quickly and shot fireballs at Gajeel. Gajeel grunted and changed his arm to a sword, swatting away the balls of fire. He dived at Natsu with his sword. Natsu shot up, charging a huge ball of fire in his hands. They collided hitting each other with equal force, making them land at opposite ends of the guild hall.

"Fire Dragon's..."

"Iron Dragon's..."

"Roar!"

Iron bits and flames met at the guild entrance, causing a rather large explosion. Dust flew up and everyone couldn't see for a bit. When the dust and smoke cleared, instead of seeing one or both of the dragon slayer som the floor, a shell stood in the centre of the smoke.

"What," a dark, terrifying voice seethed, "Are you morons doing!?"

"S-sorry Erza!" Natsu squeaked.

Erza changed from her Adamantine Armour and glared at both Natsu and Gajeel. She walked up to Gajeel and dragged him over to Natsu.

"You two will help me with the Lacrima Harvesting instead of fighting," Erza decided, "And, if I do find you fighting I won't hesitate to stop you with any means," Erza summoned a sword as she ordered them out of the guild hall.

"It was bound to happen," Laxus snorted from his spot on the second floor. Juvia looked up, she hadn't noticed him there before.

"Yes, Gajeel-kun and Natsu-san do fight quite a bit," Juvia agreed.

Cana took another swig of beer and burst out laughing.

"Well, they communicate with their fists more than anything," Mira sighed.

"Unfortunately, that also includes using magic, look at the guild entrance," Laxus stressed. The poor guild door had iron bits stuck in it, while other places were dented. Some parts were singed and cracks were visible.

"Oh my..." Mira sweat dropped.

Said doors were burst open and a frantic figure zoomed in.

"Have you seen Romeo!?" an older man asked.

"No, Macao-san," Juvia replied.

"Damn! I come home and our door is busted-"

"That was probably Natsu," Laxus deadpanned.

"Yeah..." everyone agreed.

"Anyways, I go to Romeo's room and his covers are mussed up, and he's not there! Or anywhere! I asked around, but no one has seen him for almost a day!" Macao shouted.

"Heyy! I can help!" Cana called. She pulled out a deck of cards from a bag that hung by her side.

"A drunken tarot reading?" Mira asked.

"Yeah! C'mon Macao! I'll tell you where he is!" Cana purred.

"Sure, I just need to know if he's safe," Macao said dejectedly. Macao was the father of poor Romeo. He tried his best to raise him, but it wasn't very good.

"Okayy~! Let's see..." Cana laid out three cards.

She flipped the one to the right of Macao, studying it for a bit. "This card represents Romeo's past. Looks like he was taken from a comfortable environment to somewhere new..." Cana said wisely. She flipped the card in the middle and looked at it for a bit, "Ehe, it says Romeo's in trouble~!" Cana hiccuped a little. "He's in a bad situation, doesn't know what to do," Cana picked up the card to the left, "This is Romeo's future. Looks like he's gonna be okay," Cana shrugged.

"But he's in trouble now! I need to help him! And that last card! When is it? For all I know, it could be in ten years!" Macao screamed.

"This should be in the near future, you want me to read further?" Cana asked.

"Sure," Macao sighed.

Cana shuffled her deck of cards then laid down another card. She looked puzzled as she looked from the card she had just put down, to the card of Romeo's near future.

"What's wrong?" Macao asked, a distressed look appeared on his face.

"It doesn't make any sense~!" Cana whined.

"What?" Mira and Macao asked together.

"Uh, it says in the near future he's gonna be fine~! But then, the far future is all fucked up!" Cana wailed, as if she had failed something.

"Well, doesn't have to be relating to this problem, does it?" Mira suggested hopefully.

"And it could be anything, doesn't mean he's gonna be kidnapped," Laxus agreed.

"But it's still fucked up!" Macao slammed his fist on the table.

"M-Macao-san! We should trust Cana's cards! Romeo-san will be safe," Juvia comforted.

"She's drunk half of the time!" Macao pointed at Cana who was chugging some beer.

"Half?" Laxus snorted.

"Oiii! My cards don't lie!" Cana gurgled as she drank her beer.

"Yeah. Macao, you need to relax, okay?" Mira stepped in.

"I know, I just...Romeo, he isn't like us. He doesn't have a demon heart," Macao said quietly, "He's pure."

"What do ya mean 'not like us'?" Cana said, feeling insulted.

"Juvia seconds that, we're not bad," Juvia nodded.

"The shit angels say 'bout us ain't always true," Laxus agreed.

"We're not as bad as we're made out to be Macao. That's why Romeo is pure. Maybe we enjoy having more fun and our rules are looser, but we," Mira gestured the group, "aren't bad. Maybe some others are."

"You're right, I hope he's safe," Macao slunk down. Mira set down some beer in front of him and he happily chugged it.

"Laxus-sama!" voices chorused.

Everyone turned to see three figures running towards them.

"Laxus-sama! You're finally off of guard duty!" a strong feminine voice exclaimed.

"Hopefully it wasn't much of a strain," a calmer, seemingly wise voice said,

"Did you eat all the food we gave ya?" another voice asked.

"Food! Food! Food!" high-pitched voices echoed.

"It was fine," Laxus said simply. He turned, only to be ambushed by his friends.

"Say, Ever, where were you yesterday?" a long green haired man asked the woman who was admiring Laxus.

"W-well, I was..." the woman laughed nervously.

"Ever, you didn't!" the green haired man scolded.

"But! It's funny, and besides, it's not like I'm doing anything that a demon wouldn't!" the girl argued.

"Just cuz you can do that, doesn't mean you can't take me with you!" a helmeted guy stuck out his tongue childishly at the woman.

"Fairy lady! Fairy lady! Fairy lady!" three small blocks of wood chanted.

"So, what did ya do this time?" the helmeted guy asked eagerly.

"Well, this guy was walking with his crush or something, so when they were on totally flat ground, I tripped him! The girl was laughing really hard!" the woman smiled.

"Ever!" the green haired man scolded.

"And then I made this girls clothes really-"

"Evergreen, have you been playing tricks on mortals?" Mira asked.

"W-well...how can I resist!? It's hilarious, and this is my power and job!" Evergreen protested.

"No, your job is to watch over selected mortals to see what kind of trouble they get themselves into," Macao deadpanned.

"I can have my fun, can't I? There's been no one to look after lately anyways! How am I gonna pay for my room!?" Evergreen pouted.

Demons could live in houses, like Macao. They had to pay for things like plumbing every month. Others chose to live in dorms, or apartments. Fairy Tail owned it's own dorm and named it Fairy Hills, as it was on a cliff side, looking over a sea of lava. Just below it were jagged rocks and ominous looking caves that gave off questionable sounds late at night.

Quite normal. After all, it was a prime location for any demon.

"Ever," Laxus sighed. "As hilarious as mortals can be, we have to try our hardest to only play tricks once in a while."

"Of course, Laxus-sama!" Evergreen smiled.

"Heyyy Everrrr..." Cana slithered over to where Evergreen and Laxus were. "What if ya changed and rid on one of theseee...?" Cana laughed.

"My baby!" the helmeted gut whined.

Cana clutched a mini tiki doll in her hands, holding it so that it wouldn't escape and fly back to its owner.

"I can fly on my own! I have no use for Bickslow's...things."

"They have names!" Bickslow wailed. He pointed to the one in Cana's hands, "Give back Peppe!"

"Aww! But it would be soo cute!" Cana held the tiki doll close to her cheek. "Just imagine, a little Evergreen ridding on a cute little doll around the guild!"

Mira swear dropped, "I'm fairly certain you called Bickslow's things-"

"Names! They have names!"

Mira ignored Bickslow, "I'm sure you called these ugly the last time you saw it after it pushed your vodka off the counter."

"But they're still cute, and mini Ever would make 'em cuter!" Cana squealed

"Well too bad! I'm not changing into my pixie form just so that you can fulfil your drunken needs!" Evergreen pulled out a fan.

Mira sighed as Cana continued with her fantasies, Macao was drunk out of his mind, Bickslow was ordering his other babies to get Peppe back and Evergreen kept on yelling at Cana. She looked over at the seemingly more mature people to see Laxus listening to music, Freed staring at Laxus in an interesting way and Juvia edging away from Freed. After all, the look in his eyes had somehow turned from adoration to something else.

It was a good thing Erza had taken Gajeel and Natsu away.

"I can't do it!" Wendy whined. She felt the air around her disappear as she lost faith in herself. Controlling her ability was difficult. She was certain that she had hurt the kind angel that was helping her.

Wendy and her instructor, Yukino, were currently inside of Yukino's house and a rather empty room. It only had a few chairs and a coffee table.

"It's okay Wendy-sama. I couldn't get it my first try, it's amazing that you can summon it like this, are you sure you haven't practiced before?" Yukino asked.

"N-no..." Wendy mumbled. Her healing ability was rather simple. Her mind would call on it when she saw someone get hurt and she would feel the power flow through her hands. She only had to keep it in one place of her body anyways. Controlling the wind and air was difficult, it was totally different from healing. She had managed to summon it on both hands and even send it somewhere. Though, when she did, she couldn't control where and ended up hitting Yukino.

"Alright, let's try it again, remember, you have to round up the wind and focus it on a spot," Yukino instructed.

The air started to get thin, a slight breeze blew through the room towards Wendy. Air began to circle around her wrists and grew in size. Wendy focused on her power, trying to control it. She opened her eyes and pictured the wind moving to one place. Raising her torso, she stood straight and raised her arms back where the wind rested. Wendy let out a small "Rah!" and thrusted her arms foreword. The wind on her wrists left and concentrated on one area forming a ball.

"Good job! Let go now," Yukino clapped her hands together and smiled.

Wendy took a breath and the ball of wind disappeared. The air balanced itself again and Wendy turned to Yukino proudly, "I did it!"

"Yes you did. Now, when you have some time, train okay?" Yukino patted Wendy on the head and sent her on her way.

Yukino went to her mirror to fix her hair which had been blown about by the wind and flew to the door when a knock sounded from the other side. Yukino opened the door to reveal Lucy.

"Lucy-sama! You look amazing!" Yukino gasped.

Lucy blushed a little, "Thank you Yukino. How's Wendy?" she asked.

"Oh! You just missed her, I'm not sure where she went, sorry Lucy-sama," Yukino bowed to Lucy.

"Don't worry about it Yukino! I'll find her. Was she okay?" Lucy inquired.

"Of course! She's amazing, I'm sure she'll be a wonderful angel," Yukino smiled, "Would you like some tea?" she offered.

"I'm fine, I'm working today. I plan on exercising my wings," Lucy said excitedly.

"Of course! Well, I'll see you around," Yukino smiled. Lucy nodded and flew out the door.

"Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!" Lucy huffed as she barely dodged the attack. She turned to see a static fist charging towards her. She moved fast, but her enemy hit her.

"You're as tough as they say," Lucy wiped her lip of blood. Her opposer snorted and shot a beam of electricity. It made contact with Lucy's arm and she fell to the ground.

"You're a lot weaker than Natsu makes you out to be, then again I'm stronger than he is," Laxus sighed, "I'll finish this quickly."

Lucy watched as Laxus lifted up his hands, literally charging a ball of electricity, as he stood over her. Lucy winced at the bruses and cuts on her body from their fight.

That's going to hurt...

Lucy waited for the literal shock, but it never came. Opening her eyes, she was greeted with a blazing fire. Natsu stood over her, protecting her from the blow. "We never finished our fight," Natsu said cooly.

"Well, I haven't finished mine with Lucy," Laxus retorted.

"Then why don't I finish it for her?" Natsu growled. He lit his fist and flew at Laxus, who grunted and drew his fist as well. Lucy groaned as she forced herself up. Natsu and Laxus were fighting, but Natsu was obviously losing.

"I'm on another level than you," Laxus said sharply. He punched Natsu, flinging him back and charging a ball of electricity. He flung the ball at Natsu, who dodged and went in for a punch. Laxus kicked him away onto the ground, "Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Laxus screamed.

Lucy watched in horror as Natsu was engulfed in Laxus' attack. Laxus sighed, "To think that you had the advantage was hilarious," Laxus smirked at Lucy and walked away.

"Natsu! What were you thinking!?" Lucy ran over to his limp body, cradling his torso in her arms.

"You coulda' died," he responded half-grinning.

"We can't die, Natsu!" Lucy pointed out.

"Well then, you would have been unconscious for a really long time," Natsu argued.

Lucy felt a sharp pain in her lower back, she turned her head to see another feather slowly turning dark.

"You should go, I don't know why it's turning grey, but others will notice," Natsu tried to sit up.

"Don't move, you'll only hurt yourself more," Lucy instructed. Natsu noticed the feather had temporarily hastened it's darkening.

"It's because you're caring for me.

That's why it's turning grey," Natsu said.

"Then let it! Angels are supposed to be caring, and you've been hurt in my stead, so I will care for you!" Lucy declared. Natsu smiled at that before falling asleep.

Shagotte covered her cat-like ears as the horrendous noise filled the halls of Alegria's castle. She knew what she was doing was horribly wrong, but she needed to endure this. The Angels didn't understand, and if they were to fight Alegria as they were now, it wouldn't be enough.

She peered through a barred window to see Alegria and the boy, he was floating in midair, due to magic. On his waist was a metal band, which connected to a Lacrima. Alegria would take it out and put it back

"You have wonderful screams, you know," Alegria chuckled at the boy in front of him. Romeo huffed as the cloaked figure in front of him put the Lacrima back in place. Shocks were sent all throughout his body. His bones felt like they were popping out of his skin, his veins and insides hurt. He screamed loudly, but nothing happened.

"There's a good boy. Only a little longer, now, Mard Geer," Alegria called in another god. "To increase the power, we need some space."

Mard Geer grinned as he raised his hands. Thorns grew out of his palms and he began to cut.

"There, now you don't have to wait as long, see?" Alegria grinned maniacally.

"Natsu-nii!"

Little bit dark there...forgive me Romeo!

Well, I've started a tumblr account. Follow if you want, it'll mostly be reblogs and me ranting my opinion. My username is undinefin

Thanks for reading!
