"Hey! Did you find anything Waren?" Lisanna asked running through the streets. Happy was riding on Al's shoulder next to her. Ed, Al and Roy had split up to help find the girl called Wendy. Al went with Lisanna and Happy and Roy and Ed went with Romeo and Neb.
"Nope. Not even a signal lead. We've looked all over the City the only place left is the royal palace."
"That reminds me!" Happy exclaimed."
"What is it?" Al asked stopping.
"Wendy and Carla said they wanted to go on a sightseeing tour of the city!"
"That's probably where they are!" Lisanna said, "Let's get going."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Al gasped in awe of the giant tower in front of him. "They don't buildings like this at home! Brother would probably like it."
"This is the first time I've seen the place!" Lisanna said looking up at it.
"Stop right there!" Two guards approached them. "The grounds are closed!"
"Sorry! We're looking for a couple of guild mates. One of them was supposed to enter in the preliminary round." Lisanna explained.
"We've looked every and this is the only place we haven't checked." Happy added.
"Hmm." The guard thought, " let's just let them in."
"What?" His partner yelled.
"His majesty is looking forward to the games and we don't want anything to interfere with it. Don't go anywhere further than the court grounds!"
"Thanks ." Al said as he and the rest went in.
"Why do you think that man is wearing a full blown suit of armour on?" One guard asked his partner.
"Who knows?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm kinda surprised they let us do this." Happy told Al.
"Well the gardens have been open to tourism in the past just not this late at night." Lisanna said as the walked around.
"Let's split up, that way we can find them eser." Happy said.
"K', Al you can come with me." She said, taking ahold of his hand.
"Umm uhhh ok!" He felt very warm, despite not having a body.
Happy went to the left and Lissana and Al went to the right.

"So what's is a guild exactly?" Al asked as he and Lisanna walked around the garden, he had heard Lt. Hawkeye say in the train that she was part of a guild called Fairy Tail.
"Well, to an average person a guild is basically a group of wizards devoted to their practice of magic and go on jobs that will help increase their skill level." Lisanna explained, "But a guild is also a place a wizard can call home and can have a family."
"Wow, that sounds amazing, but I still don't get the magic part." Al said, rubbing his head sheepishly.
"Magic is like an extension of the body, and their are many types of magic, some people practice magic that has been around of a long time or create their own unique magic!" Lisanna said, "Like for example there was an S-class Mage in our guild who practised lots of forms of Dragon Slayer Magic but also was able to practice a lost magic called Kidō, apparently she learned the magic while on a job for the guild, along with other techniques," Lisanna continued, "Shikai and Bankai are the only ones I can remember and they have something to do with a sword."
"Wow, so um what's an S-class wizard?"
"An S-class Mage is a wizard more skilled and more powerful than regular mages." Lisanna said as they turned a corner.
"Cool, what happened to the Mage?" Al asked excitedly, "They seem like someone who can help me and brother get our body's back to normal!"
"Back to normal?" Lisanna asked, stopping short of another turn.
"Umm, well what I mean is..." Al trailed off looking up at the sky and then down at Lisanna, "Can you keep a seacret?"
She nodded.
Al removed his helmet and bent down so she could see inside his armour. "Please don't be scared." He asked quietly. Lisanna looked at him wide eyed, she had seen plenty of strange things in her life, but this beat them all by a lot. She slowly touched Alphonse's blood seal. "That's what keeps me bound to this world." Al said quietly.
Lisanna smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a body, you're still my friend, right?"
Al nodded.
"Then that's all that matters." She put his helmet back on as he stood up.
"And about the Mage you asked about... few years back she took on a Century quest and never came back, she's been missing for eleven years."
"I'm sorry, was she a good friend?" Al asked hugging Lisanna gently.
"Yeah, she was always kind and smiling, she was also one of the youngest S-class mages in history."
"How old was she when she made S-class?" Al asked.
"Thirteen."
Al's jaw dropped, "THIRTEEN!"
"Yup." Lisanna laughed, picking up his jaw, "She never flaunted her power though, in fact she was really humble about it, she was always teaching us new things."
"Cool." Was all Al could say.
The pumpkin man appeared and announced the end of the preliminary round.
"Sounds like the round is over!" Lisanna told Al when the Pumpkinman disappeared. "I hope everyone is alright."
They saw Happy and he wasn't looking to joyful.
"Happy, is something wrong?" Al asked running over with Lassana.
"Look what I found."
"That's Wendy's purse." Lisanna took off running while holding on to Al's even tighter. Happy followed holding the purse. They found Wendy and Carla few yards from where they found the latter's purse, both girl and cat were unconscious when the group arrived.
"So you found them?" Warn asked using his Telepathy, "Are they alright?"
"I can't tell, both are unconscious." Lisanna responded.
"Wake up Carla, it's me Happy, the one you call tom cat!" He pleaded.
"They don't seem to be injured in any way." Al noted as he inspected Wendy. "That's a good thing."
"Yeah, but I don't sense any magic power from either one." Happy said, worry written all over his face.
Wendy opened her eyes. "No don't hurt me." She pleaded, holding up her arms in a defense.
"Wendy it's me, Lisanna." She said competing into view, "Do you recognise me?"
"I'm here too." Happy went up to her.
"Happy? Lisanna? What in the world happened?" Wendy asked.
"We were going to ask you the same thing." Happy said, "Do you remember anything?"
"No."
"Hey Al, ya here?"
Al turned around, "Big brother! Colonel! Please help us." Al walked to them, carrying a now unconscious Wendy in his hands, Lisanna right behind him holding Carla.
"What the hell happened?" Mustang asked as he took Wendy's limp form into his hands.
"We don't know, the best option is to get them to the inn where our group is staying." Lisanna said.
"Alright then." The Colonel turned around and started running, "Let's get moving!"
"Right!" The group said in unison following him.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Up in the Skylabrenth...
"It's you.." Gray mumbled, his jaw open, "It can't be..."
Ezra drew her sword, "Identify yourself!" She demanded.
"I don't wanna fight!" Riza lifted her hands in a gesture of defiance, "Look no weapons." Riza laid down the zanpakutōs*. "My name is Riza Hawkeye Dragneel. I'm an S-class Mage in the Guild Fairy and a First Lieutenant in the Amestrian military."
"Sounds actuate, except, the Dragon Slayer I know isn't in the military." Gray grumbled, getting into a fighting position.
"Wait! What's going on!?" Lucy cried.
"I DON'T CARE IF SHE IS THE REAL DEAL!" Natsu roared, leaping into the air, fist engulfed in flames, "IRON FIST OF THE FLAME DRAGON!" His fist connected with her nose creating a sickening snapping noise.
"Tch, I said I didn't wanna fight before." Riza muttered, holding her bloody and broken nose, "But now I think I should reconsider. Hado number 31 Red Fire Cannon." A get of red fire blasted from Riza's hand and hitting Natsu in the stomach, causing him to reel back in pain.
"Hey that ain't fair!" Natsu cried, recovering quickly from the blast, "Come on I want a real fight! No magic!"
"Fine." Riza muttered, "But your the one who started it."
Natsu charged at Hawkeye, who had gotten into a fighting position. He sent his fist flying towards her face only to miss it and have his stomach connect with her knee.
"Are we done yet?" Hawkeye asked shaking Natsu.
Natsu looked up at her, grinning like an idiot, "I can't believe you back!" He hugged her tightly.
"Jeez, if I'd known you'd miss me this much..." She looked down at his shaking shoulders, his head was buried in her stomach, she placed her hand on his head and rubbed it, "Sorry for scaring you, I'm back now." She smiled.
"It seems that she is in fact the real deal." Ezra said, putting down her sword as Natsu and Hawkeye walked up to theme, Natsu leaning on Riza' shoulder.
Gray smiled, "It's good to have you back, Riza." He and Erza both gave Hawkeye hug.
Riza turned to look at Lucy and stuck out her hand, "You must be the the new girl I've been hearing about, what as your name again...?"
"Lucy, it's nice to meet you miss...?"
"Hawkeye." Lucy shook her hand.
"Come on we gotta get going, or else everybody's going to get worried." Gray said, heading towards to door with Erza.
"Right." Hawkeye responded, she lifted Natsu over her shoulder and carried him out the door, ignoring his protest, "Gray your clothes."
"How the hell did that happen?" He yelled.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"We found them in the palace courtyard." Al explained to the women called Porlyusica.
The elder women had Happy, Ed and Roy sit outside, saying that it would be too crowded in the small infirmary room. "I see." She looked at Al and Lisanna, "She has a slight head concussion and it seems that most of her magic power was drained." She walked over to Carla, "The same goes for this one, minus the head concussion. You may leave now." She dismissed them.
Just as Lisanna and Alphonse were leaving an insane amount of pressure came crashing down on them. All three fell to the floor, sweat began falling off of Porlyusica and Lisanna. The pressure disappeared just as fast as it appeared. The three stood up.
"What was that?" Al squeaked.
"I don't know." Lisanna said, helping Porlyusica up, "It felt like I got sapped of all my magic energy and that someone was loading a ton of bricks on me."
Porlyusica dismissed them after checking that Wendy and Carla had not been affected by the sudden sapp of energy. After seeing that they would be fine the older women sat down and sighed, "It's happening, just like you said -*."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"So what's this about a fake me?" Hawkeye asked as the group walked back to the inn, after they had cleared the challenge Riza used flash step to help Elfman get through the doors, and then suffered a hug worthy of the Strongarm Alchemist.
"About a year after you left, we had dozens of people claiming to be you." Gray explained, "We also had false reports of your whereabouts as well. Although, some of the fakes did pretty good."
"So how did you none of them were me?"
"Simple." Erza said, "None of them couldn't beat me or Natsu without using any magic."
"Jeez am I really that powerful?" Hawkeye muttered, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.
Natsu, Erza and Gray laughed, she was still the humble S-class Mage from eleven years ago.
Riza turned to Lucy, "So when did you join Fairy Tail?"
"Seven years ago." Lucy responded, she nearly jumped out of her skin, she had been lost in thought and unintentionally was staring at Hawkeye.
"Oh did I scare? My bad." Riza rubbing the back of her head again, "You're a Celestial Mage, right?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
Before Riza could answer an insane amount of pressure came crashing down on them. Gray, Erza, Lucy and Elfman all clasped due to the pressure sucking out all their magic energy. Natsu leaned on a wall breathing heavily, he looked at Riza who was standing up straight, looking around at the sounding area, not paying any attention to the group that just collapse.
Why isn't she affected?
Natsu thought before succumbing to the darkness.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Wake up!" Riza brought her hand down on Natsu's face, prompting him to jump up in surprise.
"Oi! What the hell was that for?" He whined, rubbing the roped ding mark.
"It was that or a bucket of ice." She helped Lucy up to her feet.
"What the heck was that?" Gray asked, getting to his feet, "It felt like a massive weight was on me and all my energy was being sucked out."
"Hey! How come you weren't affected?" Natsu asked going up to Riza.
"How should I know?" She lied.
"Don't play dumb!"
"It was a high amount of *Reiryoku or energy, coming from someone or something." Riza said leaning against the wall. "I don't what or who it was but whatever was causing it is gone, for now."
"Let's head back to the inn so we can let the old man know what happened." Gray suggested, before Natsu could say anything.
Riza walked behind the others, not missing the fact that someone was watching them from the shadows*.
"I've found you, Riza Hawkeye."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Yay all done done with chapter four! On to chapter five! I'm gonna try to make updates every once or twice a month.
*those zanpakutōs aren't Hawkeye's. More on that in later chapters.
*oohh new mystery characters! I love mystery characters!
*Reiryoku is spiritual energy
Will Natsu ever get his questions answered, what will Roy do when and if he learns about Hawkeye's other powers? Will Ed ever grow taller, will I ever finish the next chapter in time? The answers...right after the break! Or something.
Peace I'm out:)
