Chapter 2: Recognized

The next day…

"She was amazing! I swear! She was so strong! It was incredible! I have never seen anyone so powerful! She seemed almost as powerful as master!" cried Lucy.

"What? You're joking! No one is as powerful as master!" replied Natsu.

Gray and Erza remained silent, trying to digest what they just heard.

"Is this girl any danger to us?" asked Erza. Lucy shook her head. "I don't think so; she was nice enough to get rid of those drunks for me." Lucy said.

"What's her name?" asked Gray. This time Lucy shrugged. "I don't know, besides I was too dumbstruck to ask." She replied.

Natsu brought his fist down on the table at that, it broke with a loud 'CRACK!'

"DARN! I WANTED TO CHALLENGE HER!" he yelled, swearing, he kicked the remains of the table. Lucy sighed, while Gray laughed. He loved to see his rival unsatisfied.

"Describe her." Said Erza, distraction by Natsu.

"Well, she was tall, really shabby and scruffy-looking, messy black hair tied to a ponytail and she wore a long black trench coat. She's not really attractive except perhaps for her eyes." Said Lucy.

"Her eyes? Why her eyes?" asked Gray.

"Her eyes…because…"Lucy's face became a little awed. "Because they were unique, the color was purple but at the same time it was silverfish, they were so call! Come to think of it I've never seen eyes with that type of color." replied Lucy, a look of wonder on her face.

Gray stiffened, seemingly stunned. While Erza seemed puzzled. "Purple-silver eyes now where have I…" but even before Erza could finish what she was going to say. The doors suddenly swung open and in came the Master!

"Master!" the Fairy tail members cried. The master waved at them an enormous smile spreading across his face. For a short old geezer he had a big heart for everyone in Fairy tail. Except for the fact that he was a perv. "Hello, everyone!" he cried, skipping like a three year old. "Where're you been, master?" one of them asked.

"Here and there, I brought someone with me!" he cried, still really cheerful.

"Brought someone?"

"Who?"

"Yeah, who is it, master!" they all cried, wondering who the newcomer was.

The master, still smiling, replied "I've asked her to come, she's pretty shy, so please understand if she won't warm up to you guys so soon but we definitely want to make her feel welcome here in Fairy Tail, she's a rough girl and It'll take her a little while to get used to her but-"

"WHAT IN THE NAME THAT OF ALL THAT IS SICK AND ANNOYING AM I DOING HERE!" a voice suddenly roared outside.

The master paled, slightly, but he kept his smile on his face. "Like I said, she's a bit rough and it'll be some time to get used to her but-"

Then, a huge fireball erupted; smashing the Fairy Tail does headquarter doors to bits. Everyone ducked and the master ran for cover. From the smashed door a shabby girl entered.

Lucy immediately recognized her.

"YOU!" she cried. The girl turned towards Lucy, her purple-silver eyes flared with raged. "Where's that old geezer? WELL? WHERE THE HELL IS HE!" she demanded.

No one said a word but finally the master popped out of his hiding place. (Which was under the table).

"I'm over here!" he called, waving his hand.

The girl's head snapped toward his direction. She growled like a beast that had just spotted her prey. Then, quick as lightning she lunged at him and already had him by the collar. The Master didn't seem bothered by it.

"You little PEDOPHILE! You thought you could just grab me while I was sleeping? To hell with you! I already said I won't join your stinkin' guild! How many times must I get through your old frizzed up head! I'll say it my answer, again: I AM NOT INTERESTED, YOU SON OF AN UNAMNED GOAT!" she roared at the master and shaking him like a rag doll at the same time.

Everyone stared at the pair in shock. They knew no one, as in no one, should mess with Master Makarov unless his/her life depended on it and yet there, at that very moment was a girl wringing his neck! And strangely the master wasn't doing anything about it.

While the girl continued to curse the master with different kinds of insults (to the point she was inventing some) is when Gray stepped. "HEY CUT IT OUT! HE'S THE MASTER YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO HIM!" he shouted and at the same time grabbed the master from her death grip. The master seemed to be a little dazed but he was alright.

The girl gave a soft growl, turned her back to him and then strides toward the door (or where the door should have been). Lucy's eyes followed her. She was shocked. Stunned. To the point she didn't know what to say! This wasn't the girl she recognized! That cool unfazed gaze and amazing cool attitude were all gone! It was replaced by this hot-tempered unreasonable unfathomable girl! Natsu seemed pretty shocked too.

"Are you sure this is the girl you saw?" he asked.

Lucy nodded her head. "Most definitely! Except her attitude is way different…really different" Lucy said. A puzzled frown formed on her face.

But Natsu was only grinning. "If she is the girl you told us about then she's definitely way stronger than you described! Did you see what she did! I'M DEFINITLEY CHALLENGING HER!" Natsu roared.

Lucy sighed. Erza on the other hand was still puzzling over what Lucy told her. 'Purple-silver eyes, purple-silver eyes, I've heard about that before I just know it.' Erza thought, she stared at the girl. She did indeed have purple-silver eyes, she was being blocked by the other guild members, and they were all outraged.

How dare she do such a thing to the master!

"Crazy wretch!"

"Get outta here!"

"You've got no right to stay!"

They all cried. Some were already considering beating her up. The girl was unafraid instead she looked even angrier. "I am leaving you nut-heads, I've got no interest in this crazy guild, if you guys just move then we can settle this peacefully and no one has to get hurt." She said, in a growling sort of way.

They smirked, "The only person whose gonna get hurt is YOU! Do you think we'll just ignore your insults about our guild and what you did to master? YOU WON'T GET OFF SO EASILY!" they cried. A series of cheers echoed that response.

Erza, ignoring their cries, still stared at the girl. She was familiar. The face. Her eyes. Those Purple-silver eyes. Then, it hit her. Erza, quickly, stood up. She rushed towards the girl, she ex-quipped into her armor. "EVERYONE GET BACK!" she yelled. She held her sword high.

Everyone, startled by Erza's sudden command, quickly obeyed backing away from her. Erza still ran toward the girl and was preparing to strike! But a second too late, the girl saw her and quickly parried the blow and disarmed her! 'She's fast!' thought Erza, just as quickly reclaiming her sword and then she commanded her other swords to come forth they all pointed at a single target. All of them. Inches away from her body.

"Now, I recognize you. You're her. You are that girl that everybody's looking for!" cried Erza.

The girl didn't make a single sound, she didn't move. Everyone was puzzled. What was Erza talking about?

"Your that Criminal! You're DARKNESS! WANTED FOR MURDER!"

Everyone was stunned. They stared at the girl. Darkness stiffened slightly, she didn't make eye contact with anyone. Lucy and Natsu's mouths' dropped open. Master gave a soft exasperated sigh, while, Gray just stared at Darkness.

His face was a mixture of confusion and disbelief.

He, softly, said a single word: "Zeira."


The plot thickens! why does Gray say that single word? Does he know something they don't? Stay tuned! :DD
