"Zuzuchi..."

At the entrance of Fairy Tail, three persons were currently standing. Alex, the saiyan who accepted the kind offer Lucy made, and Wendy and Carla who came back from treating wounded citizens.

"I'm sorry… What did you say?" Wendy enquired. It was odd to her that someone she didn't know started acting strange the moment he saw her.

And strange was an understatement. Alex was sweating severely accompanied by heavy panting. His eyes were focused solely on the sky maiden. In his mind, the beautiful, dark blue hair that grew on her head was switched with dark red one. When he saw that image, flashes from his past started coming back.

"It might just be the two of us. But if I have you on my side I feel that we can make it bro."

He placed his right hand on his head, thereby covering his right eye. The sound of him gritting his teeth was loud. Confused, the other mages turned their heads at the scene that was unfolding. But Alex didn't care as more and more past events started flashing before his eyes.

…..

"Stop it!"

Inside a spaceship, flying through vast space, a young, red haired saiyan was bawling loudly. Her eyes red from the tears, her lower lip bloody from her biting her own lip. She was on her knees as she was watching a group of three spacemen ganging up on a lone person. It was her brother. His armor was shattered to pieces and his torso was visible. Blood gushing from his wounds, the bones on his arms and legs completely broken, he was a men about to be beaten to death.

"Pleeeeeeeease! I beg you! Don't kill my brother!"

The female saiyan continued her begging. But her loud cries only resulted in the extraterrestrials feeling amused. They shifted their gazes to the girl and watched her carefully while stomping the black haired saiyan. In the midst of all, soft, elegant steps could be heard.

"I wonder…. Which would cause more pain for you? The loss of your race perhaps? No… I'm sure that you've already accepted that fate. Is it maybe the pain you're experiencing now? I don't think so. Or maybe…"

A voice caused Alex to regain his consciousness. With his view blurry, he noticed ki being gathered at the tip of a finger. When he saw that, his sight became as clear as crystal. He widened his eyes and tried to lift his aching body. But he was too late…

Blood spattered onto his face, and in front of him, the lifeless body of his sister fell face first to the ground.

"ZUZUCHIIIII!"

…

"….."

Suddenly, Alex found himself in the Fairy Tail guildhall again. His body was trembling, his face filled with sweat. He raised his head and looked at Wendy again. Just watching her caused his mind to break. The sky dragon slayer across him didn't know how to react. As well as the feline besides her. Carla looked at the saiyan worryingly and tried reaching to him.

"Hey! Are you…" She voiced herself trying to speak with the man in front off her, but she stopped midway.

Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. At that moment, she lost all contact to reality and images started popping up in her mind. A vision of the future. In the past Carla had many visions, but nothing quite like this one.

….

The ground was shaking underneath a black haired male. Violent winds spread throughout the area, taking down anyone who couldn't keep his balance. Makarov, Cana, Milliana and Hibiki all watched in disbelief. Their eyes opened wide and their bodies started trembling. Inside the black haired's hands, purple energy was gathering. Gradually, the power was rising until it went unstable, and when it did, the male released it with a loud roar.

"Galick Gun!"

An attack of unimaginable magnitude was unleashed from his hands. The ground below him cracked and shattered to pieces. All the bystanders flew away from the force leaving the male alone. Even though he had nothing to rest his feet on, he was standing firmly with his eyes fixated onto one place. The purple beam that escaped from him traveled with great speed until it hit an invisible barrier and exploded. The whole area was surrounded by thick smoke in an instant. The quartet of mages that fell a few feet away from the spot they were standing coughed loudly. Then, from the smoke he emerged. A vile grin on his face.

"It's been a while since I went on a rampage." He shifted his head to look at the sky. There, the moon was shining peacefully. While looking at it, no one could imagine the things that were going on.

"Mark my words. By the time the first rays of sunshine illuminate the land. Only one of us will be drawing breath from their lungs."

…..

"No… You can't be her."

A sudden voice woke Carla from her vision. Confused, she tilted her head left and right to figure out what was happening. In front of her, the black haired teen averted his gaze from Wendy and passed by her. The sky maiden turned around and watched as the man was leaving. Stunned by her vision, Carla was still looking in front of her, which Happy noticed.

"Carla? Are you okay?" The blue cat asked.

Carla jumped when she heard her name being spoken. She turned to Happy and tried masking the worry in her expression.

"Everything is fine Happy. What do you mean?" The white furred cat smiled and looked at her guild mate. But her change in tone couldn't fool Happy. He knew something was off, but decided to let it go for now.

"What was that about?" Warren voiced himself from somewhere inside. All Fairy Tail mages that noticed the weird scene turned and listened to the telepathic mage.

"No kiddin'. What was with that weird atmosphere?" Jet responded to Warren by asking a question.

"Have you met that guy before Wendy?" Laki approached the confused girl.

"N-No… I don't think I have." Wendy, who was still staggered, looked down for a moment and tried to remember the strange person's face.

"Gulp…gulp…Aaaaaaah… Maybe he fell in love with you at first sight and was just left speechless. Quite the heartbreaker already, aren't we Wendy?" Cana took a few chugs from her mug and spoke to Wendy in a teasing tone.

"N-No… You don't mean that, do you?" A slight blush started forming on her face as she covered her eyes.

"Leave the poor guy alone. He's probably just flustered." A strong, manly voice came out from behind the bar. Everyone turned to look at the source. There, Elfman was standing with an apron around his waist. He just went out of the kitchen where he was preparing the saiyan's meals.

"Flustered? What do you mean? Who was he by the way? What was he doing here?"

Carla jumped on a table and started asking numerous questions. She was speaking hurriedly with a certain assertiveness in her voice. Once again, Happy looked at her worriedly. Wendy, who was standing beside the table the small feline was standing on, turned to her friend and tried to calm her down.

"Calm down Carla. There's no need to start asking so many questions." She closed her eyes and moved her palms forward and backwards suggesting her to ease off. When her friend took a few deep breaths, she turned around to the team of mages she belonged to.

"But really. Who was that person?" With a confused look in her eyes, she asked Erza who was the closest to her.

To Wendy's surprise, Erza didn't reply. In fact, Gray, Lucy, Natsu and said Erza were all behaving weird. They were all looking at the ground with their eyes half closed. Except for Natsu. He was looking straight at the door. Without a word, he started heading towards it.

"N-Natsu! Wait up!" Happy stuttered for a moment but soon followed his partner. Before they left, the blue cat looked at Carla one last time. Everybody was watching the duo that was about to leave, except for her. Her mind had seemed to have wandered off somewhere. A small bead of sweat was falling from her forehead. Happy made one last concerned look before he ultimately left the building.

"What happened to Natsu-san? Where is he going?" Now Wendy lost it completely. She was looking around searching for anyone who would give her some kind of an explanation. The things that happened upon her arrival just unsettled her.

"He was the guy that saved Lucy from the thugs that attacked her the other day." In the midst of all the confusion, Mirajane came out and started explaining everything.

When she heard the S-class mage's words, Wendy widened her mouth and put her hands together.

"Really!? Oh, if that's the case than I should've thanked him." The dragon slayer was thrilled to hear that the person that saved Lucy paid the guild a visit. However, Carla was still suspicious.

"That can't be all! What was he doing here?"

"Well… Lucy and the others met him while they were returning from their mission. So Lucy wanted to return the favor by buying him something to eat."

While listening, Wendy occasionally turned to look at Lucy. The blond was still looking at the ground with a sorrowful expression. Confused, after Mira finished with her sentence, the blue haired asked one more question.

"I don't understand. If that's the case, then why is everyone so sad?" She looked at Lucy, Gray and Erza seeking an answer.

It took a moment for them to respond. At last, Gray spoke.

"Because that idiot Natsu burned down the only roof over his head he had." He said while not moving for an inch.

"No… We all share some fault in this." Erza butted in on Gray's words.

After hearing them out, Wendy and Carla widened their eyes. They weren't completely sure if they understood everything.

"What do you mean by burned down?" The white cat was the first to ask.

"Well technically all they did was set a tent aflame. It just so happens that that tent was the place where the poor guy was living at." From the bar, Cana voiced herself. After speaking, she took a large chug of the booze she was drinking.

"He must've had a really hard life." Suddenly, Lucy spoke. At the sound of her voice, Wendy immediately turned to face her.

"He has no house. And he also said that he hadn't eaten in days." She raised her right hand and strolled through her hair with her fingers. After that, she looked at her small friend.

The moment she uttered those words, everyone in the guild proceeded to look down. The atmosphere was as gloomy as it could get.

"I really want to help him." Now wearing a slightly more confident look, Lucy clenched her fist and headed for the exit herself.

"Where are you going Lucy-san?" Wendy took a step forward and reached for her friend.

"I don't know… I just want to try and do something for him." As she was speaking, she was getting closer and closer to the doors.

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?"

A loud voice staggered everyone, including Lucy. They all looked up to where it was coming from. On the second floor, where all the S-class jobs were hanging, Makarov was standing wearing his wizards saint coat, looking at them.

"Master!? What's wrong?" Erza spoke up. The sudden shout of the master surprised her greatly.

"LISTEN UP BRATS! FOR THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THIS BUILDING! WE HAVE SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS TO DISCUSS."

All of the mages stiffened up and looked at each other. Unsure of what was about to happen, they made confused looks. While they were looking for an explanation, Levy joined Makarov on the second floor.

"Levy-chan?" Surprised, Lucy looked at the blue haired mage. And it wasn't only her that raised an eyebrow. On the other side of the guild, in a corner where there wasn't much light, Gajeel was sitting with Panther Lilly. So far, nothing seemed to interest him. He just shrugged off the appearance of the saiyan and everything that happened later. He was still depressed by the fact that he lost to Uwe. Well, depressed isn't the right word. More like angry at himself. When Levy suddenly showed up, even he decided to pay attention.

"First things first. Yesterday we were all faced by a great challenge when Magnolia was attacked out of the blue. The enemy had overwhelming numbers and powers we were unaware of. And yet, all of you fought bravely. You stared down at the foe and wouldn't let them have their way. And so, together we showed them what it means to mess with our bond. YOU SHOWED THEM WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FAIRY TAIL WIZARD! And by doing so, you made me proud brats." The elderly man raised his right fist in the air and provoked loud cheers underneath him.

Things were always like this. Even when the atmosphere was at its lowest, Makarov was always someone who could force a smile on everyone's face. That's why they all respected him and thought of him as a father. Mugs were raised high in the sky and toasts were on everybody's lips. Except for Lucy that is. She was happy to hear everything that Makarov said. However the lingering feeling of sadness inside her wouldn't let her enjoy herself.

"However…"

And with that, the cheers stopped. Everyone shifted their gazes back to the master as they awaited his next words. The atmosphere suddenly changed to a more uptight one.

"The danger might not be over yet." Fairy Tail's master narrowed his eyes and lowered his tone. Loud chatter started amongst the mages. Those who weren't filled in on everything they found out yesterday weren't aware of that fact.

"The ringleader behind yesterday's incident was a well know mage. One of the so called six super rookies. He was known by the name of Blitztank. And his goal was to capture one of our very own friends. Levy." Loud sighs echoed around the guild and the chatter continued. Makarov turned to Levy and nodded. The blue haired nodded back and took a few steps forward. She was holding a bunch of papers.

"They called themselves Rusalka. And we're assuming that they are a dark guild that was formed somewhere recently." While she was talking, she started going through the papers she was holding.

"What caught my attention while Uwe was trying to capture me was that he mentioned something odd. He said that he gained his abilities when a lacrima was implanted inside his body a year ago. That's around the same time the super rookies made their unexpected appearance. So after everything was resolved I started researching. What I found out was that all of the remaining super rookies went missing this morning." Levy stopped there. From somewhere inside the crowd a voice was heard. Everyone turned around to look at the person trying to say something. It was a small black cat standing on two legs. It had a scar around his left eye and a small sword around its torso.

"So you think that they were working together all along?" The one speaking was Panther Lily.

"We don't know for certain but it's safe to assume. They all appeared at the same time and went missing at the same time as well. There was an article about them in The weekly sorcerer a few days ago. In that article Uwe didn't had his full name written and the type of magic he is using was incorrect. What's more, they all refused to take part in The Grand Magic Games."

"They didn't want to risk compromising themselves." Somewhere in the middle of the crowd, Laxus commented on what he was hearing.

"Everything just seems odd and shrouded in mystery with them." Erza said while placing her right hand on her chin.

"Wait a moment!" Gray suddenly raised his voice and shocked everyone. He started looking around the tables that were scattered around. Table after table he inspected them all. Finally, he stopped at one of them and took a magazine.

"This is the magazine with the article about them. There are pictures." He opened the magazine and started searching through the pages. A large crowd gathered around him. After a while, he stopped at the page where the article was written. It was spread on two pages, with a small paragraph introducing them and a paragraph for each mage. Mirajane took the magazine from Gray's hands and started reading.

"The new generation of wizard saints in the making. Just who are the Six Super Rookies?" After reading that, she skipped the part describing their emergence and continued to look at them individually. The first picture showed Blitztank.

"That's the guy who tried to abduct Levy." Lucy found a way through the group of people and pointed at the picture of Uwe. After they all took a good look at him, Mira continued.

"Their names are: Dante Samiel who was a part of Quattro Cerberus, Umgar Erc who belonged to Dullahan Head, Orlando Lavas from Sabertooth, Clementine Adelia from Mermaid Heel and Liliana from Blue Pegasus." The S-Class mage pointed with her finger at the picture depicting the specific mage she was reading about. However, one picture was missing.

"That Orlando guy doesn't have a picture next to his paragraph." Bickslow, who was standing beside Mira, noted.

"Later they say that he couldn't make it to the photo-shoot." Gray added.

"Since Uwe didn't have his name written and his magic was false we should take the information with a pinch of salt. But at least we have a picture of everyone." Everyone turned back to Levy who was still standing on the second floor. While everyone's attention was there, Makarov decided to speak again.

"Take a good look at their faces. Those people might be the ones to show up again with the intent to take Levy. Remember them, and if they ever come and try to hurt someone of us…" He stopped in the middle of his sentence, from that point, Erza separated from the crowd and faced all of them.

"We will pay them back a hundred fold. We will show them what happens when they target one of us. We will hunt them down and make their lives a living hell. BECAUSE NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH HURTING A PART OF OUR FAMILY!" With a loud shout, Erza finished. Loud shouts erupted as everyone agreed with her.

…

Inside the woods outside Magnolia, a lone figure was walking. Alex was returning to the place he was calling home for the past six years. He was shaken by the recent events. It took some time for him to calm down a little after he left the Fairy Tail building. The saiyan was still thinking about Wendy. Or rather, her resemblance to Zuzuchi. His eyes were focused on the ground as he was advancing.

"How? How can there be someone with the exact same face as her?" Alex was talking to himself. The image of his sister and Wendy were still locked inside his head.

"Why? After all this time? Why now?" He was gritting his teeth. Then he stopped and took a deep breath. The black haired closed his eyes and tried to think of something else. But he just couldn't. Angry by the fact, he clenched his fist and punched a nearby tree. The tree broke in two and the force behind the punch pushed the upper half towards other trees. They were like dominoes, one after another fell and pushed the next one. Alex looked at his fist for a moment.

"These past days were hard on me. First I lose the milk I bought with the last bit of money I have, then I'm caught in between what was the worst excuse of a battle I've seen, and now…" He stopped for a moment.

"Zuzuchi…"

After recollecting the past three days, he continued walking forward. It wasn't long before he reached the clearing nearby the river. The first thing he saw was the place where his tent once stood. The grass beneath it was black and there was still some heat in the air. He placed his backpack nearby the burnt grass and looked around.

"How unfortunate. Losing your belongings in a fire." A calm, melodic voice was heard.

Alex widened his eyes as all of his danger sensors started going up. He turned around and took a battle stance. There, sitting on a rock near the river, a person was looking at him. He had brown hair that was neatly swept back. Brown, slightly slanted eyes that were narrowed currently. A large black coat around his broad shoulders that looked somewhat formal. Under the coat, a red vest jutted out slightly. His attire was completed with dark black suit pants and polished black shoes with gold buckles.

The person looked directly into Alex's eyes. He had a somewhat calm demeanor around himself. After standing up, he slightly closed his eyes and made a gentle smile.

"Oh, I must be imposing, giving the stiffness in your shoulders. You have my apologies. That was never my intention."

Alex looked at him for a moment, all the while cursing himself for not sensing the presence of someone else.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" The saiyan lowered his hands and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. It's only natural that you would ask that. I mean its standard procedure to introduce yourself before starting a conversation." He waved off his hand while speaking.

"I am the current mayor of a town called Babilonia. In my off time however, I lead an organization called Rusalka. My name is Bosco Goodwill. It's a pleasure to meet you."

…

The sun was shining brightly as the heat from it warmed the land. In a region distant to Magnolia, three carriages were being pulled. Around them was, what seemed like a never-ending desert. The climate was completely different than the one in the town. High temperatures followed up by high humidity and dry weather. On each of the carriages, a certain symbol was imprinted. It was a dark, ankh like symbol. The same that was used by the Magic council. Inside, the Rune knights were escorting Uwe to their headquarters. The super rookie was placed inside the middle one with a squadron of guards guarding him. He was still wearing the raggedy clothes he had when he was defeated. Heavy shackles were placed on his arms and legs. They were a specific type of shackles that would render anyone wearing them unable to use magic. The white haired was looking at the ground with an emotionless expression on him. Next to him, sitting on a bench inside the carriage, was a strange creature. It was a humanoid creature, reminiscent of an anthropomorphous amphibian, partially covered in spots. It wore a wide-collared dark jacket, with wide sleeves and edges and cuffs adorned by a series of light stripes, over a light shirt, held closed on the front by a multitude of laces ending in a bow knot in the upper part, and a long, light skirt-like cloth covering the legs. The outfit was completed by a small, elongated dark hat matching the jacket, which got larger near its top, and had a flat, round object on the front, reminiscent of a medal.

The creature was sitting idly and observing the super rookie. Then it turned around to a guard and spoke.

"This fellow is quite the stubborn one. Even after all the interrogations, he is still to let out a single word."

"Sir. My only job is to guard the criminal until we reach the council. Whether or not he speaks is not my concern." The soldier retorted without even looking at the beast. It glared at the soldier for a moment and then faced Uwe again. After standing up, it approached the chained mage and crouched so that it could look into his eyes.

"You could make your life a lot easier you know. This was a large scale crime. And the council is holding you responsible. If you have something to say, now would be a good moment. The guards at the council are way more persuasive, if you know what I mean. They can make you admit crimes that had nothing to do with you." It grabbed Uwe by his hair and forcefully raised his head.

"I'm gonna ask you again. How did you manage to gather such a large army? Are you the leader of this so called Rusalka? Why did you try to kidnap Levy McGarden?" Blitztank's face was now in near proximity to the frog like creature.

At first, it seemed like he would stay silent. But then, a vile grin showed on the mage's face. The sudden change was met with flabbergasted looks on the rune knights. Then, Uwe started laughing.

"Heh…hahahahahaha. You're not wrong you know. There is something I would like to tell you."

Hearing him say that, the frog like creature grinned.

"I knew you're a smart guy Blitztank. After all, I'm a messenger of the council. Having a good relation with me is of your best interest." It let loose his hair and stood up. After that, he looked at the mage with anticipation.

Uwe took a moment and moved his legs around trying to find a position he would find comfortable. Then he looked at the messenger. The smug on his face was still present.

"First I thank you for removing that disgusting thing you use as a hand from my hair." His first sentence shocked everyone around. But he wouldn't stop there.

"Let me tell you one thing. You people have no idea what you're messing with. Why should I be answering to anything you would ask? I am someone destined to greatness, while all you can hope of accomplishing is sucking up to your superiors enough to get yourself promoted. You should count your lucky stars just because you get to be around me. You think these shackles on my limbs can stop me? Hahahahahahahahaha! You can beat me, question me, and chain me all you want. Great things happen to great people. And once we obtain the power we seek, there will be only one man above me in the whole world. Even if I make it all the way to the council and they found me guilty. I'll get it to be my way eventually." As Uwe was speaking, he shook his chains wildly. Laughter was filling the carriage when he finished his little speech. And the reactions to it varied. Some soldiers strengthened the grip around their weapons just waiting to hit the prisoner. Others just shrugged it off as desperate raving. The messenger however, narrowed his eyes. He was visibly disappointed by what he heard.

"Have it your way." The frog like creature closed its eyes and turned around to look outside the carriage.

"How long till our destination?" He asked the driver.

"It will still be at least two days sir." After answering, the driver focused on the road again. He lashed at the two horses pulling the carriage, thereby prompting them to accelerate. He looked at a giant sand hill just up ahead. While making a confused look, he asked himself.

"Was that hill there before?"

Before he could come to the conclusion, something unexpected happened. The sand below the first carriage suddenly rose, catapulting it high into the sky. Seeing the strange turn off events scared the horses and caused them to panic. While struggling heavily, the driver tried to regain control over the vehicle. But he failed ultimately as the horses tipped over and crashed, causing the carriage to fall on its side. The passengers felt every little bump on the road as they fell. The council's messenger was the first to leave and try to find out what happened. He ordered the guards to watch Uwe carefully. Soon, the carriage behind also stopped.

"W-What happened? Why did the sand rise suddenly?" The driver of the third carriage asked. More and more rune knights gathered at that spot. And just as they did, the sand started moving again. The knights looked around shocked. Unable to understand the situation, they panicked. Inside, Uwe started smiling.

"It has started."

The sand formed into giant claws and grabbed all the knights at the scene. Screams started echoing in the area. They tried to break the claws using their weapons and magic. But as soon as the sand would dissipate, it would gather again instantly. Before long they were all swallowed by the ground. The messenger was the last one on the sight. Now, even the guards guarding Blitztank came out to see what was going on for themselves. Numerous men, disappeared like they never existed.

"The sand dragon strikes from the shadows. When his pray least suspects."

A person's voice was heard. The remaining people all turned around to look at its source. In front of them, where the first carriage once stood before being catapulted to the sky, a young man was standing. He had tanned skin, an average looking physique, black hair with gold highlights and royal blue eyes. The upper layer of his hair jutted upward while the lower layer arched down. He wore a sleeveless red shirt with black details on it. Black pants and black boots. His arms were decorated by numerous black bracelets and he carried a pouch around his left leg. He was walking slowly towards the remaining knights.

"Stop this instant!" When their initial shock wore of, the guards readied their weapons and charged at the young man.

"The sand dragon waits for when he is ready. And then mercilessly swallows his prey." The black haired spread the fingers on his right hand and left them that way. As the guards approached, he clenched his fingers and formed a fist, all the while shouting.

"Bite of The Sand Dragon!"

As he said those words, from the ground, a large amount of sand erupted and enveloped the knights. They screamed as they struggled inside the casket of sand they found themselves in. Next thing they knew, they were swallowed by the ground the same way their comrades were.

The council's messengers watched the whole thing transpire in disbelief. He widened his eyes and started trembling. As he saw the man's focus switch to him, he started crawling away in the hope of escaping. But he was too slow. In a second he felt a strong grip around his collar. Cold sweat flooded his skin as he was lifted. In his last moment, he turned to look at the man.

"The sand dragon looks its foe into the eyes and cuts its throat open." Next thing he knew, the frog like creature felt his throat being crushed by the black haired's grasp. Inside his hand, he slowly started drying up. His body shrunk in size until all that was left from it was a trail of sand that was scattered by the wind. After watching the council's messenger die slowly, the black haired approached the carriage with Uwe inside. Hearing some rumbling, the super rookie looked up.

"I heard about your failure, number 5." The man said in a condescending tone.

"They just had to send you, didn't they? I hate watching that ugly smug of yours, Dante."

…..

Just outside Magnolia, Natsu was running while Happy was flying besides him. The pink haired dragon slayer carried a large bag around his waist. It was green and had a large letter bonded to it. The letter wrote:" Magnolia's finest camping tent." Happy, still a bit at unease following Carla's strange behavior, looked down.

"Is everything alright Happy?" Natsu noticed his partner's thoughts wandering and asked.

"Say Natsu, didn't Carla seem a bit weird today?" The exceed turned to his friend and questioned while looking at him seriously.

"Eeeeeh? You think so? I didn't even see her at the guild." But he just casually shook off Happy's concern.

"That's mean Natsu! She was right there next to Wendy" With an angry look on his face, the cat retorted.

"Sorry. My mind was off somewhere." Suddenly, the sound behind the dragon slayer's voice changed. Hearing the change, Happy glanced at him and noticed how absent minded he was. While thinking about his crush, the exceed forgot completely about his friend's feelings. Natsu was struggling with the guilt he was feeling for burning Alex's home.

"More importantly. Do you think this tent will work?" The pink haired's enthusiasm had gone up again as he spoke. Looking at him, Happy smiled.

"Of course! It was quite the expensive one."

"No kiddin'. Good thing I still had some jewels from my last mission. I was thinking of telling him to sleep at our house if he didn't like it." Hearing Natsu caused his friend to widen his eyes.

"What!? Natsu we don't even know the guy. What if he steals my fish?" He spoke while staring dumbfounded at the mage.

"Hahahahahahaha! He really knows how to chow down alright." The pink haired just smiled at his partner's concern.

"This way! I can smell him in that direction." He pointed in front of them and accelerated. Then, strangely, he smelled someone unfamiliar.

"That's weird. I smell someone with him. Maybe a friend of his?"

…..

The scenery changed to where Alex and the person named Bosco Goodwill were last talking. The formally dressed man slightly bowed down after his introduction. Alex was watching impatiently as the man straightened up.

"I don't need you to introduce yourself. Tell me what it is you're doing here and get lost. My patience is running extremely low today." The saiyan snarled at the man angrily as he spoke.

"I see. Then I will try to make this short." Goodwill passed by the saiyan as he was speaking and headed towards the river.

"Tell me, what is it you want in this lifetime? I mean life is short isn't it? What is it that would make you look back on it and say 'It was a joyful ride.'?" He was looking at the silent river while talking. Alex narrowed his eyes after hearing the man speak.

"It seems we have a different understanding of the phrase 'make it short'. I have no interest in your stupid speech about life. Now get on with it or I'll make you leave. And believe me, that's the least thing you want." Alex approached the brown haired man and was about to put his hand on his shoulder. But he stopped when Goodwill turned to glance at him over his shoulder.

"My my. So you wish to hurt me if I don't hurry. What would I ever do if that happened?" While smiling, Goodwill turned to look at the river again. His little come back angered the saiyan greatly. He clenched his fist and was about to strike.

"The way you defeated Uwe and his pawns was impressive. I don't think I've seen anybody beat him that easily as you did. Not to mention the flashy way you did it." This single line stopped Alex in his intent. He widened his eyes, visibly surprised by the words he heard.

"Impossible… You couldn't have been there. I never felt your presence." Bewildered, the saiyan spoke. Seeing as he finally decided to join in on the conversation, Goodwill turned around to face him.

"So you can feel the presence of others? How interesting. To answer your puzzlement. I wasn't. But I know." He placed his hand into the right pocket of his pants and took out a pocket watch. It was golden with a symbol engraved into it. A woman entangling her own throat. The same symbol all of Uwe's minions had on them. He opened the lid and looked at the time.

"I assume that this makes little sense to you, but it's quite hard to explain." After looking at the watch, he raised his head and looked at the saiyan again.

"The reason I came was to ask you something. Would you consider joining us? Would you consider joining Rusalka?" He spread his arms wide as if welcoming him already.

"Your strength caught my attention. Someone with that power deserves nothing but the greatest fruits life can offer him. And I'm willing to offer those to you. What we aim towards is simple. Let me ask you another thing. Who is it that rules this world? Acnologia? The Black Wizard Zeref? Or someone else? The fact that I have to ask this question automatically implies the answer. No one. The position of ruler is completely vacant. Rusalka obeys no one and rejects everyone. It's an organization that is completely free. The council doesn't influence us. Neither does the kingdom. What we want is to gather powerful people around us. So that, when the war deciding the order in this world, something that will undoubtedly occur, comes. We end up triumphant." Goodwill raised his head and looked at the sky while talking. The tone in his voice intensified and sounded excited. His eyes widened and a grin showed on his lips.

After he finished his monologue, he looked at the saiyan again and offered his hand.

"What do you say? Doesn't it sound appealing? Can we count on you to share your incredible strength with us?"

Alex looked at man for a moment. Nothing on his appearance was giving out any emotion. Ultimately, he stretched out his hand, seemingly willing to grasp the one offered to him. But then…

"What a waste of time that would be." He slapped the hand in front of him and glared at Goodwill. Seeing what Alex's decision is, the brown haired man made an unpleasant look on his face.

"It's world domination that you're offering me? How stupid. If I ever even slightly considered taking over this world. I would be sitting on that vacant throne right now, looking at all of you pitiful humans while laughing my butt off. I've had enough of you. Leave now." With a grin on his face, the saiyan pointed towards the woods indicating the way Bosco should take.

Goodwill looked at the black haired for a moment. But then, a soft smile overwrote the unpleasant look from before.

"I see. How unfortunate. I was always prepared that there was a chance of you declining. But nevertheless, I'm still disappointed. Farewell, young man." And with this, the brown haired man started leaving the sight. Leaving Alex alone.

The black haired turned towards his backpack and went to grab something inside of it. He crouched and started opening the zipper on it. But before he went to take anything from it, he remembered a single word he heard during his last conversation.

"Babilonia? Wasn't that the town the old man was always talking about?"

…

Some distance away from where the saiyan was living, the man who offered him to join Rusalka was walking slowly. He was currently climbing a small hill outside the woods. On top of it, a person was waiting. He was a handsome young man with dark silver hair and light green eyes wearing a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. He also wore black jeans and black shoes with black buckles. Around his waist, a sword was attached to his right hip. It was a katana. The sword had a dark-black hilt with three laces attached to its end cap. One of them was red, the other was white and the final one was black. It had an oval hand-guard and the sheath was painted black. Around the hand-guard however, a white cloth was tied. The cloth made it unable to draw the sword.

While looking ahead of him, the man noticed Goodwill approaching. Much like Goodwill himself, the young man had a calm demeanor around him. He didn't show any emotion. When the leader of Rusalka arrived, he was the first one to speak.

"Did you wait long Orlando?" Goodwill looked at the silver-haired with a smile on him.

"I don't mind. The scenery from here is calming." Orlando answered while resting his right arm on his sword. After hearing what he said, the brown-haired turned around himself to gaze at the horizon.

"You're not wrong. A truly beautiful sight this is." He took a deep breath of the fresh air and continued.

"Aren't you going to ask me how it ended?" After asking, Goodwill turned to look at the silver-haired. Orlando however, didn't bother to look back.

"I never cared for the end result."

"Heh. Just what I would expect from you. Sadly, the young man turned me down. Well, I didn't really know too much about him before hand, so my persuasion skills weren't at their best. And I really thought he would be a great addition." While talking, Goodwill crouched down on his knees. On the ground beneath him something was shining. It was a red magic circle. He extended his index finger and started drawing over it. He completed the circle with two strikes of his finger. And when he did…

The woods in front of him exploded.

"How really unfortunate." The brown-haired said with his soft smile intact.

…..

Inside the woods, thick, black smoke filled the area. There was no escaping it. Not the trees nor the sky above. Nothing was visible. The smoke covered it all. In the midst of everything, Natsu emerged wheezing loudly, fighting for air. Giving the current situation, the damage on him was almost nonexistent. The only thing on him that indicated something happened were the ashes on his clothes. He was looking around frantically.

"HAPPYYYYYY! WHERE ARE YOU HAPPY!" He was looking for his blue furred friend. They were separated as soon as the explosion occurred. Luckily for the dragon slayer, he still wasn't too deep in the woods when everything transpired.

"Natsuuuuu!" From somewhere inside the smoke, a voice sounded itself. After the dragon slayer took his time to look in that direction, Happy came out with his wings blowing the smoke away from him.

"Happyyy" Natsu smiled happily as he saw the exceed. Happy flew directly into his arms, where they hugged.

"You're alright." He closed his eyes while feeling the warmth from his partner. But that moment didn't last long. Suddenly, Natsu opened his eyes and let Happy go.

"The explosion… That's where Alex is!"

…

"Cough…cough…cough"

The aftermath of the explosions could be felt the most in the clearing where Alex was dwelling. Trees burning, the ground looking like a big chunk of it was missing, debris covering the surface of the river. In the middle of everything, the saiyan was standing, coughing loudly. His clothes were shredded to pieces, leaving his torso revealed. Even his pants were unrecognizable. At least they covered just enough for him to save face. Not that he cared though. After regaining his breath, he made an irritated expression and looked around. He still had the backpack in his hands. Just before he realized what was about to happen, he grabbed it and covered it with his body.

"That bastard…." He whispered below his breath. The saiyan was waving his right hand around to try and blow the smoke away. His surroundings being destroyed agitated him greatly. After all, he was calling this place his home for quite some time.

"It had to be that worm's doing. So you thought you could end me just like that? Huh, too bad explosions like that can't faze me. Heck, I've had bigger ones wake me up from my sleep." Alex clenched his fists and started searching for Goodwill's ki signature. Oddly enough, he couldn't feel it nearby. He concluded that he must've been using some kind of teleportation magic. What he did feel, was someone familiar approaching.

"Don't tell me…" The saiyan slammed his palm into his face. He couldn't connect the ki to a face or name. But he definitely knew it was someone from the tent burning group.

"Will this day ever end?" He spoke while his face was being covered.

When he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and passed through his black hair with his fingers, Alex looked at his state of clothing.

"With this I have no clothes and no money. To think a prince like myself would ever experience this." Frustrated, the black haired sat down and closed his eyes. He felt something itching on his back, below his neck and in the middle of his shoulder blades. When he went for a scratch, he came to a frightening conclusion. The place that was itching was the mark burned onto his skin. The mark that he was trying so desperately to cover.

His eyes widened momentarily and he hurriedly rushed to his backpack again. He was frantically searching the pockets to find something to cover it. But as always when someone is trying hard to find something, it's usually at the last place they look.

"Dammit…Dammit!...DAMMIT! I CAN'T FIND THEM!? WHERE ARE THE PLASTERS, BANDAGES, ANYTHING!?" The saiyan was throwing everything that he didn't need right now outside. Soon, there were things lying all around him. Things like a rope, a bag where he kept his jewels and so on. Ultimately, he did manage to find something that he could use. A small bundle of bandages. He immediately started unravelling them and applying them on his body. He pressed the end of them to the mark on him with his left hand and pulled the bundle below his arm and back until everything was covered. A deep sigh of relief followed after everything was done. Taking a moment, he gazed at the tools on the ground. His eyes stopped at one specific item. It was the green crystal pendant he had. Alex grabbed the pendant and looked at it from up close. As he did, he started remembering something.

"Take this… It's my final work. I'm sure it will help you out someday."

As those lines flashed through his mind, a small smile showed itself on his face. A smile, which soon changed into an expression of shock. His face suddenly became pale, and his eyes widened while staring aimlessly forward. He jumped back on his feet and took off. The saiyan was flying through the countless fallen trees until he reached deeper into the woods. Then, he stopped in front of a specific tree. It was a giant sequoia tree with its top reaching all the way to the sky. Roughly looking at it, it was more than 250 feet tall. But even more impressive was its trunk. It was so thick, that not even ten people could envelope the entire thing. Currently however… It wasn't in the best shape. It was burnt, with some of the branches still on fire. A large chunk of the trunk in the middle was missing. It would probably take a little stronger wind to tip the centennial tree.

Alex was looking at the tree with a disturbed look on him. He then lowered his sight and glanced at something in front of it. A big pile of dirt was stacked up with a stick stabbed at the beginning. The stick had another stick tied to it, forming a cross. The first thing anyone would think when looking at this site was that it was an improvised grave.

And even it didn't leave the explosion unfazed. The cross was black from the fire and broken on one part. The saiyan fell to his knees the moment he saw in what state both the tree and grave were. Looking at the ground he took a deep breath.

….

Fire was burning everywhere as screams were echoing. In a village somewhere, something unimaginable was happening. Mothers were grabbing their children and running away, all the while watching as their homes were reduced to ashes. On the ground in the middle of the village, two people were struggling, wrestling on the ground. The first one was a teenage boy with dark black hair. He was half naked with bandages all over his body. His wounds started opening from all the moving he did and the bandages were soaked in blood. From one particular part of his body, blood was gushing uncontrollably. It was on the right side of his body, under his arm where the ribs were located. The boy was screaming loudly.

"Get away from me worm! I'll burn everything! Kill everybody! Zuzuchi. HE TOOK ZUZUCHI FROM ME!" His eyes were filled with rage and bloodlust.

On top of him, an elderly man was lying, trying his best to stop the ravaging boy. He was lean and had pale skin. A long white beard decorated his face. He wore an old, raged green tunic with a brown belt around his waist. Black, worn out pants and no shoes.

"I don't know what happened, but you have to stop this! You're hurting innocent people! Not to mention that your wounds are opening. If you don't stop, you might end up dying." The elderly man tried his best to persuade the child. But it was to no avail as he was soon pushed away. He ended up rolling a few feet away from the boy. When he stood up and looked at the black haired, he saw him gathering energy in his palm.

"Farewell. Insect." The teen looked inside the man's eyes and said in cold blood. Surprisingly, the old man didn't show any signs of fear. No, he returned the glare he was receiving.

"So you won't back down. That's fine. But let me tell you just one thing before you kill me." The man took a bold step forward and put his right hand on his chest.

."I understand that you're hurt. I understand that you want to rid yourself of that feeling. But listen to me!" He was getting closer and closer.

"The value of one's life is unimaginably high. Just as high as the pain of losing someone you care about. The pain that you feel now is the same pain others felt when they lost someone. Knowing that, how can you want for others to feel that way?"

….

Two men were gathered in a clearing nearby a river. They were standing just outside a tent with a warm camp fire. The old man from before was barbecuing fish on the fire. He left the fire for a moment and grabbed a wooden cup that was lying around. First, he wiped the dust from it and then filled with fresh water from the river. He then offered the cup to the black haired teen.

The teen looked at the man for a moment, and then accepted the cup. He had new bandages all over his body. Tasting water for the first time in quite some time, he went for it without restraint.

"Now, now. There's no need to rush. There's plenty more where that came from." The elderly man chuckled a bit when he saw the kid going at it. After the child was finished with its water, the man took the opportunity to talk.

"So what's your name? How should I call you?" He said while smiling. However, there was no answer. The black haired just looked to the side with his mind off somewhere else. A bit saddened by the fact that he was ignored, the man took a better look.

"You know what? You look a bit like my late son. So I'm just gonna call you by his name. I'll call you Alex.

…

Alex was cleaning all the ashes from the grave. So far he already made a new cross from some sticks lying around, and he found a way to fasten the tree and keep it from falling. He took one final look at the grave.

"I'm sorry Tobias." The saiyan turned around and started leaving. He took the pendant that he was holding the whole time and put it around his neck.

"But it seems like I'm going to kill again."

….

"I know that you guys are worried and all… But is it really necessary for you to be in my room?"

Atop a rocky, grassy hill not far from Fairy Tail's headquarters, a large, imposing building was situated. It consisted of a central, elongated section at whose sides two wings sat protruding outwards, with the one to the center's right acting as the main entrance which took the form of a double door with a pyramid-shaped upper part, topped by a similarly pyramid-shaped roof and held up by wooden beams. The front part of the building possessed a porch adorning the central part, with a steep tiled roof split in sections by beams being held up by simply wooden pillars paired with arcs. The two wings were each adorned by small numbers of large, arched windows, while the central section's windows were similar in design, but noticeably smaller and more numerous. Each section possessed an elongated, pitched roof composed of tiles. Sitting in front of the entrance, held up by two pillars composed of stone and bricks, flanking the pathway leading to the building and each topped by the sculpture of a stylized Fairy Tail's symbol, was a large, mildly arched sign reading "Fairy Hills" in sober, elongated dark characters.

"Shut up! I can't concentrate on guarding you with you running your mouth like that."

Inside the building, in a room that looked more like a library than a place someone would live in. Gajeel, Levy and Lily were situated. The blue haired sat on a stool nearby her reading table, while Gajeel and Lily were looking out of the window for anything suspicious.

"I'm sorry Levy but this a must. As far as we know you are still being targeted. It might be inconvenient, but please bear with us." The black exceed, who was standing on the dragon slayers left shoulder said while looking at the mage.

"I know that. But is it really okay for guys to be in a girl's room?" Levy moved her head to the side shyly and blushed a little.

"I'm not gonna take any chances." Gajeel spoke. His words caused the blue haired and the cat to raise an eyebrow.

"Last time I took my guard down… You were almost captured." He said while not taking his eyes from the window.

"Gajeel…" Levy looked at him for a moment. She knew all too well how he was feeling. Taking a moment to answer, she clenched her fist and took a step forward with determination.

"You shouldn't feel bad about it. I mean here I am, so there's no use busting your head over it. Right?" Her reaction caused the cat and slayer to turn around.

"Gajeel, you beat that creep fair and square. He just caught you off guard afterwards. That could've happened to anyone. Even someone like Laxus or Erza. So there…."

Then something happened that made Levy stop.

In front of her, Gajeel was standing, looking her right in the eyes. He grabbed her by the shoulders and squeezed her tightly. Seeing as his face was close to hers, she couldn't help but blush.

"G-Gajeel!? W-What are you…"

"I'm not gonna let that happen again. Do you hear me Levy? I'm gonna watch you close and beat up anyone who gives you a suspicious look. I promise you that I won't let my guard down again!" His eyes pierced right through the blue haired. They stood like that for a moment. Just gazing at each other. Then, their faces started approaching.

"Sorry for barging in! I just came to check out how you were doing. And guess what? I brought some booze!" Suddenly, a drunk Cana barged in on them with a bottle of liquor in her hands. Upon entering, she heard some noises. Inside the room, Levy and Gajeel were standing with their backs turned against each other and blushes on their faces. Looking at them brought a mischievous smile on her face.

"Oooooooh…. I didn't know I was interrupting. Please, please don't mind me and continue where you left off. I'll just take my booze and head out. OK? Bye." After saying that, she left the scene while humming loudly.

"W-Wait Cana! T-This is not what it looks like!" The blue haired tried desperately to explain herself. But no one was there to listen to her. After letting out a sigh, she turned around and faced Gajeel again. The moment their eyes met, their blushes returned.

"I-It really might be a problem if I stay and guard you in your room. I'll go in front of the dormitory and guard you from there. "The dragon slayer said while looking away.

"Yeah…" Levy didn't have much of an answer as well.

A small distance away from them, Lily was looking at them and sighing.

...

Calming silence was present at the Fairy Tail guild hall. Something which would usually be unimaginable. Inside, the tables were filled with tired mages. Some were struggling to keep their eyes open, while others just slammed their faces on the tables and fell asleep. They all spent their day helping in rebuilding the town. In the middle of the hall, Erza was standing with a satisfied look on her.

"Well done everyone. Let's continue with all the work tomorrow." She voiced herself loudly so that all mages could hear her.

"Yeaaah…" The response she got wasn't the least bit enthusiastic.

Lazing around on one of the tables were the team of Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Gray and Juvia. They all fitted in well in the image of tired mages.

"Geez. That flamebrain never came back. What a jerk." Gray made an angry look on his face and said. His words were heard by everyone, but there wasn't any reaction. Everyone was just looking in a direction of their own. In truth, they were all worried for Natsu. After all, Alex's fate hit him hard. Especially gloomy was Lucy who was about run off herself when she was interrupted by the guild meeting. Later, there was just so much work that she never found the time.

Across her, Wendy and Carla were sitting. The human on the bench of the table, while the exceed was sitting on the table itself. Both of them had worries of their own. Wendy was looking distantly while remembering the face of Alex when he saw her. Something about it just wouldn't let her have her peace. His face just carved itself into her memory.

As for Carla. The vision she had was still bothering her. She was waiting for a moment to tell her friends about it, but just couldn't find the time. After thinking for a while, she was about to say everything that was on her mind.

"Are you sure!? Yes, yes, thank you very much." A loud, feminine voice was heard. Anyone who had the strength to look in the direction of the sound did. That included Lucy and her friends.

They glanced at the bar where Mirajane was talking to someone. He was an elderly man with a mustache and a large rope covering his body. When they finished, the S-class mage turned to the master and hurriedly approached him. Seeing her all flustered caused Makarov to raise an eyebrow.

"Master! Uwe Blitztank has just been spotted in Magnolia!" After hearing the words that came out of her mouth, Fairy Tail's master spat out a large amount of the drink he was having. All mages immediately got up and regained their strength. In the midst of everything, Erza readied her sword and pointed it towards the doors.

"Let's go everyone!"

…..

The white haired copycat mage was currently going out of a boutique in Magnolia. Being the man he was, he just couldn't stand to be seen without a top and with ragged pants. He bought a bright red, long-sleeved, hooded cloak whose tail came down to his upper calves. Beneath the cloak he wore a black shirt and black trousers. It was rounded up by black shoes. Upon leaving the boutique, he leaned on a nearby wall and looked around. Some townspeople were still rebuilding their fallen homes. Looking at them caused a wide grin on his face.

Some distance away, a big crowd approached. Curious, he took a better look. And what he saw just fitted in the mood he was in currently in. The crowd turned out to be the angry mob of Fairy Tail mages with Erza in front. While casually relaxing his shoulders, he waited for them to notice him.

"There he is!" The scarlet haired beauty shouted when Uwe's appearance was visible. Soon, all of them arrived before him.

They glared at him angrily while Blitztank kept his smirk intact.

"Hey ho Fairy Tail! Did you miss me?" He took a step forward and waved at the mages.

"What are you doing here you fiend? How did you escape from the Rune knights?" Erza glared at the white haired with her sword pointed at him. He however, narrowed his eyes and ogled her.

"Wow, Titania Erza! You're a woman I wouldn't mind being mine. As for your question. Who knows?" The copycat mage just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't have a care in the world. His reaction angered Erza as her glare intensified.

"It doesn't matter either way. What you should've done when you escaped was crawl under a rock and hope that we wouldn't come after you. You're luck ran out the moment you came back. Now you will feel the anger of us all." A bright light enveloped the scarlet haired as she started her requip. Moments later, she was seen wearing her Black Wing Armor.

"All of you? Does that mean Levy-chan is here too? How good. You see, there's still something I want to make her do for me." Uwe said with a maniacal grin on his face.

When they heard what he had to say, the mages stiffened. Absolute rage was portrayed in their looks. Lucy gritted her teeth angrily as she was about to take out one of her keys. All of the heavyweights were ready to strike. Laxus, Mirajane, Erza, Gray. Everyone was there and everyone had the intent to hurt the man threatening their comrade.

"Hm… Fighting all of you at once might be a bit bothersome. So what do you say about a little game of cat and mouse?" The white haired took a deep breath.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

To the surprise of the majority of mages, Uwe unleashed Natsu's signature move.

"That's…" Elfman widened his eyes.

"So he can really copy the magic of others." Laxus threw his coat to the ground and prepared himself.

A large pile of ice erupted from the ground and came in the way of the fire.

"Heh. Natsu's flames are way hotter than this." Gray said with his hands positioned sideways and ready to chant another spell. But when the steam that formed from the ice melting dissipated, Uwe was nowhere to be found.

…

The white haired was running through a narrow street while looking behind him.

"Hahahaha… These fools just keep falling for the same trick." While smiling loudly, he kept running. Until he felt a blow to the back of his head. It pushed him down and buried his face in the concrete.

"I could smell your foul stench all the way from Fairy Hills." A voice was heard from somewhere above. When Uwe raised his head from the ground and looked up. He recognized someone familiar.

"You don't know when to quit. Black Steel Gajeel." While rubbing the bump on his head, he looked at the dragon slayer. He was standing atop a rooftop.

"Gihihihi. I've been waiting to break that annoying face of yours."

…

Levy and Panther Lily were quietly waiting in her room. When Gajeel smelled Uwe's scent, he asked his partner to take care of Levy in his absence. So he stayed behind. The blue haired was looking down with a worried look on her. Something which didn't pass as unnoticed by the exceed.

"You don't need to worry. Gajeel will be back in no time." His words prompted the girl to raise her head.

"I know. But still…" She smiled gently while looking at Lily. As they were talking, something rustled from inside the room. Both of them jumped the moment they heard the strange sound. Immediately, Lily transformed into his battle form. He grew in size considerably and gained muscles all over his body. Even his sword grew. Now looking much more frightening.

Slowly, he approached the place the sound came from. The black cat found himself in front of one of the many bookshelves. He removed one book from it and found something strange.

"Is this… Sand?" Lily took a grain of sand and inspected it.

"Never show your back to the sand dragon. For he will not hesitate to strike."

Levy and the exceed jumped immediately when they heard the voice. All of a sudden, the room's window was opened and a person was standing in front of it with one leg still on the frame.

….

So that's all for chapter 6. Some new characters introduced, the plot furthered. All in all something is happening. The names of the super rookies are revealed and the origin of Alex's name too. Right now Levy's situation isn't looking too great. There were some reviews so I'm going to answer to them now.

Elvisfonz23: I'm really happy that you keep reviewing. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

JensenDaniels32: Glad you liked the last chapter. Especially since you didn't fancy the ones before. I don't plan on having him join Fairy Tail any time soon, but who knows what will happen later. And yes, there will be a part in the story where he will meet Acnologia, but later.

Guest: NatsuFlameBrain: Well, he IS a saiyan.

Rufael: The question you asked was answered in the chapter. I will explain why he stuck with it all this time in some later chapter. As for Lucy's tab…. You'll see.

Soon, Alex will go on his path of revenge. And on it, well, quite a lot of bones will be broken. There is still something I'd like to ask anyone willing to answer. It's about the symbol on his back. There is this whole back story that I came up with and it includes Frieza. Since I made Alex the saiyan prince and made him have a sister, I thought about making up a creature similar to Frieza with the same past and characteristics. But is that something you want? Or should I just let good old Frieza have his moment and figure out something else for the symbol? Anyone with an opinion is welcomed.
