AN: I figured since I've now got the first seven chapters written, I might as well post the second one since it makes a good immediate follow-up to the first. If you haven't yet, PLEASE review! I look forward to anyone telling me why they did or didn't like my story. This is my first fanfic, so I really just want to find out what people think of my story. If you liked it, please tell me why! If you didn't, please tell me why!
Notice: I don't own Fairy Tail. All rights to its characters, settings, etc. go to Hiro Mashima. HOWEVER, this fic does contain multiple OC's. These, and these alone, are mine.
Chapter 2: The Boy From the Heavens
Erza couldn't believe it. After all this time, he was really back.
Jellal- she couldn't even process how much he meant to her. She couldn't comprehend the sheer devastation she felt when he finally regained his memory of the past, of his feelings for her, only to be taken to rot by the Magic Council as repentance for crimes he committed while possessed by an evil force. It wasn't fair, but somehow he was back. How he was back from the Magic Council prison didn't matter. The time of night didn't matter. This storm raging around her as she walked back to the guild didn't matter. All that mattered was that she should see him immediately.
She rushed into the guild and swept aside her fellow guild members. There he was, unconscious in Mirajane's arms. Sensitive to Erza's emotions, Mirajane relinquished Jellal to her. For a brief second, Erza cradled Jellal's unconscious body in her arms before something involuntary came over her and she dropped his limp body onto the floor.
"This boy is not Jellal," she shouted over the uproar of her guildmates.
"Whaddaya mean, Erza?" Wakaba queried. "He's got the face, the hair, and even the tattoo to prove it, doesn't he?"
"No," Erza snapped, "he doesn't. This boy's nose is three millimeters shorter than Jellal's, his hair is one-and-a-half shades too bright, and most importantly, his tattoo's on the left eye. Jellal's is on his right eye."
Suddenly Erza realized just with what incredible detail she had described Jellal. Her face flushed with embarrassment as her mind flooded with thoughts of the all-too-brief moments she and Jellal had stolen before the Magic Council took him away…
Luckily, a certain pink-haired dragonslayer came to her rescue. "I don't know about the first two things you said, Erza, but the third thing really did make sense. This boy's tattoo is on the opposite side from Jellal's tattoo." Suddenly the dragonslayer's eyes widened in realization. "That means this guy must be…"
"Mystogan?" Erza interjected.
"Some imposter trying to infiltrate the guild! Get him!" Natsu bellowed and started towards the boy, still unconscious on the floor.
The other Fairy Tail members cried out in surprise and moved to restrain Natsu, the result being what appeared to be the beginnings of a classic Fairy Tail riot. Nearly everyone in the guild moved to join in, including Erza. However, meanwhile Lucy scooped up the poor boy's crumpled body and began stroking his teal hair. "Hi. I'm Lucy, from the Fairy Tail guild. Who are you?" she whispered into his ear. "I really would like to meet you."
Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light. Everyone turned from their riot to stare in shock at the body of the boy, whose eyes and tattoo had just lit up with an intense white glow. Incredible magic power was radiating from the boy's frame.
I don't believe it, Makarov thought to himself. Could this boy be… Nah.
Suddenly the pulsating light died down. As the light began to fade, the boy's hair and tattoo permanently turned stark white. With the last remnants of the light gone, the boy opened his eyes.
Lucy started at the mere sight of them. The boy's eyes were simply… inconceivable. Around his pupils, where there would ordinarily be brown, or blue or green, or gray, there was no color at all. They were see-through. But you could still see the outlines of the different parts of his eye, and somehow, the voids in his corneas gave form to a new kind of substance. Looking into his eyes was simply so… enchanting that Lucy couldn't look away. The only thing that snapped her out of her mesmerizing trance was his voice, cool and smooth as a mountain stream.
"Hello… Lucy, of Fairy Tail." he said to her smiling face, filled with wonder. "Please… take me to the stars…"
And with that he passed out again.
Thanks so much for reading! Again, I cannot stress this enough, PLEASE review! It would mean the world to me :)
