Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail
Chapter 5: Getting In
Makarov had to ask what happened and it explained to him by Gray. He paused while on standing the bar. He started speaking to everyone, "Today a man that we don't know has asked us for help…"
"I didn't ask for help, they just wouldn't let me leave by myself," someone muttered in that back. WACK, someone in the back got hit by something metal.
Makarov cleared his throat, "We have no idea what kind of person he is. We don't know him…" Makarov paused for a second to see everyone's reaction. They all had frowns seeming to accept the fact that they didn't know him. Roku had explained to them what was going on and most of the guild was up to help him, but with Makarov's speech they weren't sure if they could. "So I say that we get to know him! Make him a member of Fairy Tail!"
The crowd put their fists in the air in agreement. The crowd cleared to make a path leading to Roku. He was sitting on a chair with his feet on a table, "Wait what?"
Natsu and Gray grabbed both his wrists and yelled, "Come on!" They proceeded to throw him at the bar and he landed head first behind it. He got up and rubbed his head "Hey!"
He saw that all the guild members were smiling. Mirajane walked up and motioned for him to lift his arm. "Where do you want it?" Mirajane asked politely. He thought and pointed to the middle of the front of his right forearm. She printed it and the color the Fairy tail mark was blue.
Everyone yelled and Makarov informed Roku that this would be his first mission, "infiltrate this lab and get your sword, that's the mission, you can choose a team, who will it be?"
"A team? Hm… Well who wants to come?" Natsu's team raised their hands, even Erza, and Roku just shrugged his shoulders and sighed while Natsu gave him a thumbs up.
On Top of the Mountain
Natsu and the gang saw something that looked like a castle on wheels. It was big and was at least three times size of their guild seven years ago. It had giant Pedrail wheels and moved really slow. "How come we can't go now it looks fine," Natsu wined.
"Roku said that it's not and his ability to turn into the color of the wind isn't putting him in any danger, but hell I want a fight soon" Gray said.
"Natsu is actually right it's actually not guarded at all," a voice from behind them said. They turned around and saw him just turning back to normal when a small tornado surrounding Roku disappeared. "Ready when you are,"
They moved down the mountain, hiding behind trees each time they moved. They made it down to the castle and it seemed that no one was there. "I don't think this is a good idea," Lucy was hiding behind a tree.
"LETʻS GO!" Natsu yelled and rushed the lab. He jumped up and knocked down the two giant doors in the front of the moving vehicle. The rest followed in, and everyone besides Roku stopped and saw a giant ballroom. "It doesn't really look like a lab,"
Roku went to a switch on the wall and touched it while his hand was charged with lightning. The image in front of them started to flicker and turn into something more stereotypical. There where lab benches and complicated machines that didn't look familiar to any of them. Tanks of green liquid hanging from the ceiling glowed and they were big enough to fit a person in them. In the center of the room were seven big red containers that were broken.
"That doesn't look good," Lucy said with a chill "AND WHY AM I EVEN HERE?"
A creepy laugh erupted from a door on the exact opposite side of the entrance in the back. The gang looked at the door and the laughter died.
"That doesn't sound good," Happy said sadly.
In The Guild
"I still don't understand why I couldn't go!" Wendy pouted.
"You have a broken arm don't you?" Kinana was handing out drinks.
"Well ya… but I could have helped!" Wendy crossed her arms and pouted. She looked out the window. "Be safe guys."
They ran to the other side and stopped cautiously outside of the corridor that the laughter came from. They walked through the corridor to a room about the same size of the laboratory. There were scientists all over the ground, unconscious and groaning. On a balcony there was a man who had a white lab coat like the rest. He had a crazy comb over, a giant point nose, and he wore goggles on his head. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"WHEREʻS MY SWORD, YOU CRAZY BASTERED" Roku yelled at him.
"Right here!" The crazy man yelled back and held out a sword. He waved it enticingly. The sword looked like a normal double-edged sword, about two in-a-half feet long, but in the middle of the sword it was hollowed out. The hole reached to about five inches above the hilt and ended about six inches from the tip, and about three inches wide from the five-inch total width. "But you have to come get it,"
Roku jumped at him and surrounded himself with electricity to give him a boost of speed charging at the crazy scientist. Roku was about half way when seven beasts came out. Roku dodged about four of them until one hit him onto the ground. Roku freed himself by kicking it off of him and backed up to regroup with his friends. They took a good look at the beasts.
All of them looked like they were ghosts, with bodies made of black shadow. They were standing on fours but a couple stood up on two feet. One had a back lit on fire and fire around its neck. Number two had four tentacles made of water coming out of its back and arms made of water. Number three had wings of a bird coming out of its back and talons for feet. Number four had a mane of leaves and a bush out of its back. Number five had a tail of lion claws. Number six had tornadoes for arms and legs. Number seven had horns of a demon and seemed like the biggest one, it had claws of shadow and a tail to match with spikes coming out of it. "See this Roku? This is what would have made you strong! You could have had this power!" The scientist yelled.
Natsu stepped forward and immediately went for the fire monster. The monster lashed back and Natsu ate the fire instinctively. He threw a "dazzling flame of the fire dragon," back but only for the attack to be eaten by the flame monster. The monster had a boost of energy and shot a beam of fire at the rest of the gang. Roku quickly made a magic circle by crossing his forearms, creating a wall of swirling wind, and sent the blast in different directions. They animal like demons jumped over the shield to only be slashed by Erza and Gray. The animal like creatures started to back up only to start a low growl. The wind-controlling animal slashed its arms and sent a giant tornado at them. The fire animal combined its power to create a giant fire tornado. Natsu moved in front and sucked the tornado up. He learned from the last time and used "Roar of the fire dragon," to send a streak of fire at the grass monster. It started burning and ran in circles. The water monster sent water to douse the flames. When it did the fire was gone but Gray took the opportunity to freeze the water monster.
Roku to sent a supercharged kick into its body, shattering it, sending a purple mist to the monster with horns. "One down," Gray said while the rest of the monsters were surrounding everyone. The lion jumped at Erza and she requiped to her Heaven Wheel armor and showering the creature with swords. When it was defeated the lion evaporated into a dark mist that went to the demon like figure again. Gray went to the fire monster and froze the floor bellow it.
It slipped and Erza requipped into her sea empress armor. She sent a water slash into the fire monster and the flames went out. Along with Roku's lighting, the water electrified and killed the monster, yet again sending some power to the demon sitting behind all the rest of the monsters. Roku looked back and saw Erza in her sea empress armor, he was distracted by the profanity and got slashed by the talons of the winged creature. "Watch your front Roku!" Erza yelled. Roku shot himself into the air covered in lighting. He put both hands in from of he flying wings and pushed them away with a tornado. The bird flew off and collided with the ceiling and before hitting the ground it turned into purple mist. "Only three left guys! Tornado head, Leaf dude, and The Scary one!" Lucy said.
"WHY ARENʻT YOU FIGHTING!" The boys yelled in unison with angry faces.
"'Cause I'm only here to cheer you on," Lucy said sarcastically.
Natsu knew who to go for so he charged at the leaf beast. "Iron Fist of The Fire Dragon!" and proceeded to jump on it's back and beat at it's head. It ran around on fire, it seemed to be very flammable. The tornado man tried to blow out the flames but only made them bigger. It looked like it didn't know wind amplifies fire. The grass creature fell and Natsu had one foot on its belly. It disappeared and went to the demon again. "I don't like this purple stuff," Gray said, watching the mist float to the demon.
"It seems to be powering up the last one," Erza explained.
The tornado monster blasted a giant wind vortex at them. Erza changed into the giant's armor and threw her powered up spear to break through the wind and defeat it. The last purple aura reached the seven-foot tall demon and it bellowed. Sending the gang to their knees. "What incredible power," Erza pointed out.
"Don't matter we're gonna beat it up!" Natsu shouted.
The Demon laughed and shouted, "you beat me? Hahaha!"
"This one can talk?" Gray asked.
"Of coarse I can talk!" It said.
"Ooookkkkaaayyy?" Roku said.
The demon launched itself at them "ENOUGH!" He had amazing speed for his size. He ended up in-between them and spun around to send each of them flying in different directions. He went after Gray first, who was still getting up from the hole in the wall. He found Gray and sent orbs of dark energy from his hands into Gray. Gray was scratched up and knocked out. "Gray," Lucy shouted!
"You want to play missy?" The creature launched itself at Lucy only to be stopped by Natsu.
"Your beefs with me creep," Natsu, said.
The demon uppercutted Natsu and then pounded him before he could reach maximum height. Natsu fell with a thud and he was also unconscious. 'This is ridiculous' Roku thought, still trying to sit up from the first attack.
Erza requiped to her black wing armor and yelled, "Come at me, you monster!" The monster came with claws and Erza parried all of his attacks.
"Your pretty good," it said, but it took a clean shot to Erza's face and sent her flying into a near by wall.
"At this rate…" Roku said.
Erza emerged from the cloud of smoke revealing her flame empress armor. She sent a slash of fire at the creature but it almost seemed that he teleported right in front of her. She took another blow to the stomach and face sending her to the ceiling and back down to the floor.
Roku got up off the floor. He started glowing a black color, a small magic circle covering his chest, just like last time. Except this time he accepted the pain. "…Erza…"
"What was that?" The demon said.
"…You hurt Erza…" Roku's chains of magic surrounded him and connected on the back at one point in the middle of the back. An ominous blast of black magic surrounded him.
"YES THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE!" The mad scientist yelled. "My best creations fighting to the death."
"…Roku…" Erza muttered looking at the powerful magic, still too beat up to move. Natsu and Gray were looking from their spots on the floor as well.
The flow of magic stopped and left a figure there. He had silver hair and was wearing a black tank top and the same jeans. At his wrists were blue bands. The still glowing black chains surrounded his torso and he was bear-foot. He lifted his head and opened his eyes, reveling kill-intended red pupils instead of his friendly gold ones. His hands started to leak out blue magic, the same color of his lighting. It started to trail into the air like steam. He had a metal mask covering the bottom half of his face, stopping at the top of his neck. A/N (if you've ever seen Naruto it's like Kakashi's mask but a little bulkier and made of metal).
The monster reacted by throwing the same black energy at Roku. "Look out!" Gray yelled. Roku caught it and looked at it carefully. He crushed it in his hands sending an explosion around him. "Roku!" Erza yelled. The figure walked out of the smoke and was completely unharmed. The demon flinched and recoiled with sending a beam of purple energy at him. Roku simply put up his hand and deflected it. It almost hit Lucy in the process.
"Hey watch it!" Lucy yelled.
The man looked at her with his read eyes and Lucy froze. 'This doesn't look like Roku at all' she thought.
Roku turned back to the demon that seemed really nervous all of a sudden. Roku put up his hand and made a choking motion at the demon. No one saw movement but somehow Roku ended up gripping the demons throat. Roku threw the demon up and sent a blue orb of energy at him. It totally obliterated him into a purple mist. The new man looked to the balcony "I knew you were the best creature that I needed! I made you this strong how would you like more power? That's what I tried to do last time but you ran away. Another one of those black lacrimas and no one could stop you, what do you say?"
In less than a second Roku was perched on the balcony railing. He grabbed his sword out of the scientist's hand and connected it to his back.
"So what do you say? All I need to do is put another one of those in your chest!" The scientist pleaded.
Roku summoned another orb in his hand an obliterated the doctor leaving nothing. He jumped down and the rest of the gang was speechless. Before anyone could say a word. He popped up next the Lucy. He picked her up by the hair with his left hand.
"Nhhaaaaa!" she screamed.
"Roku stop!" Natsu cried out, trying to get up.
In Roku's right hand, a ball formed. He raised his arm for the final blow but was stopped by hands that grabbed his arm.
"…Roku… please," Erza pleaded. Roku's eyes turned to a familiar gold and fainted but was caught by Erza before hitting the ground. The chains on his chest retracted and his hands lost the glow it had. The mask disappeared off his face leaving an unconscious face.
Natsu helped Gray up and walked toward the rest of them. "Wait till Master hears about this," Natsu said.
