6). Puppet Strings
Laxus and Bickslow tried not to damage Ever or Freed too much. But trying to get near "Jordan" is difficult when your teammates are guarding him. The imposter laughed as he used the two mage as a sword and shield amused by the way events went.
"How long are you going to use our companions like this" yells Laxus.
"As long as I need to thunder babe" he chuckles "It's only for my enjoyment mostly."
"This is what passes as fun to you" Laxus questions angrily.
"Depending on what mood I'm in thunder babe" he smiles.
That greatly angered Laxus as he made a B-line right through Freed and Evergreen straight to the mixed haired boy whose clothes had mended themselves. Laxus connected a barrage of attacks to the imposter sending him into different trees. Laxus glared where the boy was sent.
"Go see if he's still alive he might know where the real Jordan is" Laxus says as he checks on the others.
"Right back in a bit" he says following Laxus' path of destruction.
After Bickslow had disappeared in the forest Laxus fell over clutching his head. Laxus looked around not seeing anyone at first but the boy from earlier was walking over to him with Bickslow in tow. The boy had a nasty look on his face and at that moment he saw the reason why his friends had turned on him so easily. White strings were connecting them to him, like a puppet.
"Now that hurt very badly thunder babe but I'm ok with a little tough love I'm okay with it just as long as we both get what we want" he smirked.
"Let my friends go now" Laxus demanded as lightning sparked around them.
"They are of some use to me at the moment, so I'm gonna hang on to them for a while if you don't mind" he responded.
"They aren't some kind of puppet for you to abuse" Laxus growled.
"That doesn't matter to me if they are preventing you from attacking me then mission accomplished" he laughs.
It seems everything that the boy said angered Laxus more as he tried to connect another hit to the boy surrounded by this friends. Looking for the right opening he charged stopped by an attack from Evergreen. Amused by the way Laxus dodged her attacks the boy sent Bickslow to attack Laxus. After a while he called off Ever and Bickslow as the boy stepped.
"So finally fighting me yourself" Laxus said in between breaths kneeling.
"There's no use your too tired to continue it would be easy to kick a downed man why add insult to injury" he chuckled. "Also don't you want to know my name?"
"Why would I care" he growled.
"So you know how to find me silly" he said walking up to Laxus placing a hand on his shoulder.
"That doesn't seem smart of you, shouldn't you want your name unknown" Laxus asked.
"What's the fun in that if you don't know who you're fighting" he gets close to Laxus.
"Then what is your name" Laxus asked tilting himself away from the boy.
"It's Caleb Star: Puppet Master my dear Laxus" he said. "S-Class wizard in Scorpio's Fang".
"So you're an S-Class mage no wonder you're so tough" admitted Laxus.
"Quite indeed" Caleb said turning away from Laxus and walking away with the rest of the Raijinshuu in tow.
"Wait, where are you going" Laxus asks standing up.
Caleb just turns to look at Laxus and just smiles then continues walking. Then gives a wave good-bye as they disappear in the darkness of the forest leaving Laxus kneeling in defeat. Even if Laxus had the strength to fight he wouldn't be able to fight his friends. So Laxus followed them into the woods and beyond Magnolia Forest. Laxus knew not to follow but he wanted to know where his team was headed against their will. They were still in sight as Laxus suspected they would, Caleb knew Laxus would follow.
In Magnolia the guild members were headed home from searching for Jordan. The search was called off on Jordan for the moment. So that everyone could go work as they locate Scorpio's Fang's base. The next morning Wrench had found a letter from Scorpio's Fang while he was doing a fly around the forest. Heading back to the guild he saw two figures in the distance ignoring what it was and continues to fly.
"Message sent returning to base" one of the figures tells the other.
"We'd better hurry back we have a fun surprise for them when they get there" the other replies.
"What do you think will happen when they find out Cedric-kun" the first figure says.
"Caitlyn we'll just have to wait and find out but right now we need to help contain Jordan when he wakes" he tells her.
"Just a few more minutes darling this view is breathtaking" she says as Cedric rolls his eyes.
"Don't get caught or seen on the way back to the guild" he says leaving her to look out at Magnolia.
She stayed there for a while then went into town to look around. She walked and found the Fairy Tail guild she smiled as she progressed up to the entrance. She looked at the front of the guild then turned to walk away when she bumped into Lucy and Natsu.
"Oh hello there" Lucy smiled at her.
"Hello" Caitlyn replied somewhat nervously.
"Are you new around here" Lucy asked.
"Quite I'm afraid I'm lost then I saw a mages guild to see if someone here could assist me" she half lied.
"Let me show you around then." Lucy asked examining the girl more.
"How nice let's start then..." she trailed off seeing the girl's neck showing the Scorpio's Fang guild mark.
"If I wanted to hurt you I would've done it already I am here for outside help before its too late. Before they seal us for good." She says hopelessly.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asks.
"I don't have much time to explain we are being controlled they changed us we are no longer human. "She said sacredly.
"Changed you to what, who changed you." Lucy asked hurriedly.
"The Organization." She said before disappearing.
"Wait!" Lucy called out to the girl. "Oh no."
