Fairy Tail Resistance chapter 5
"Boss!"
A voice screamed as I was alone, walking through the dark musty hallways, after having my breakfast. Yosh, Erza took me out and beated me outside my room, causing dear Happy to get up rubbing his eyes and holding his cat plush making the present girls swoon, letting me take my leave to grab some grub. So now it's me walking around this corridor and dear Max catching up with me.
"Hm? What's up, Max?"
"There seems to be a problem, we are getting low on supplies and all! Shall I send a party to find resources?"
Hmmm… who should I send? It's obvious I can't go like usual since I got a captive to interrogate. Probably I should send the Team Shadow Gear alongside Mickey. They could work it out pretty fast and since they rarely go out of the HQ, they could pass inconspicuous. Max should go too, he knows the ways from over there and what we need. This might take around two to three days and at least they aren't many leaving; just two girls and three guys… then it's settled.
I explained to max what I had worked out in my mind and he agreed to so, since he would get a chance to be with his adoring miss Chickentiger. He ran back from wherever he came from to announce his party to go and return fast. I smiled as I watched him go; I can say, I did as the past Commander did… base everything to suit everything. In this case, people that get along well should work together… I am satisfied with my partners' smiles and maybe have a hope, that we could share this happiness with the civilians at the City of Magnolia.
But right now, I got some rather important things to do; like go to some certain blonde person and to interrogate. I searched for my partners; Erza, Gray, and Happy, so we could take this female to our white room. After finding my own team, Gray searched for the lady and brought her to the place we designed. The girl at first appeared with a smile, until she saw Erza and my face, serious and a bit menacing clearly in them, and then she began to shiver a bit plus show us a nervous face. Mentally, I was smirking; I took joy of seeing people afraid of me, female or male.
Gray pushed the pampered lass to a seat in the middle of the so called white room and tied her arms at the back of the chair. The girl tried to pull her hands a bit but she stopped a while later, noticing she can't escape. She sighed and looked at us with a bit of determination infront of her fear.
"Interrogation time?" she asked.
I smirked "Interrogation time, indeed."
"Who are you really?" asked Happy really serious. I smiled internally looking at him. This kid really impresses me every time I see him.
"Who I said I am… Lucy."
"Mhm…. There are many 'Lucy's in Magnolia. So last name…?"
"None. I'm an orphaned girl after I escaped my dad's clutches. Didn't we go already by this?"
"Suuuree…" I kept on my smirk, as if challenging to keep lying; if she was actually lying. "From where exactly are you little Miss Lucy None?"
She glared a bit. "I told you. From the Phantom Lord's Kingdom… from the normal class…"
"You never stated your state of business…"
"Then now you have it."
"Why are you here?" asked Gray now very seriously. He could take the Good cop now if he wanted.
"I heard about your rebellion… I wanted to join and fight against those who rule my country wrongly…. And it gave me a reason to escape my dad's…. you know…." She lowered her head as if hiding her tears.
In reality, I really enjoyed interrogation time… but I don't know why but I didn't actually want to interrogate this girl. She basically had a rash background from what she told me on the rooftop; but it's customary that every new member here passes the cross-examination. It already went with Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy… you get the drill. But right now, we are here, with Fairy Tail's dream team, working on the case.
After many other trivial questions, we ended the damned questioning so she could go with Erza to who knows where. That left me to be with Gray and Happy which the three of us headed to the first floor, to the pub area of this old hospital… where the city of Magnolia once stood. I remember when I used to go to the school across the street...
Anyways, forget the good ol'times, and back to the bad new times.
Gray was bickering about something to do with Juvia following him and that I should pay more attention to Laxus with Freed and that they are a bad influence on the kids but you know what? Who the fuck cares. That's nothing important to the mission we are carrying. We entered the double doors and met with Mira at the counter and a Gajeel sitting in a stool. Erza, Levy, and Wendy were all sitting on a far off table giggling and what-not. I sat besides the iron man and gray at my left side, already ordering something up. Lilly, Gajeel's younger brother (Lilly? Who the hell names a boy Lilly?!), sat besides the long black haired man. I ordered my Devil Cocktail as I eyed my elder friend have a frown. I faced him.
"Oi, what's up Redfox?" Something was already setting weird in my stomach and I still haven't eaten anything spicy.
"Who is the blond chick?" he said signaling with his chin towards the female's table. I didn't have to look to know who he was referring to.
"That's the one we had taken prisoner. Name's Lucy No-Last-Name."I smirked a bit at my dumb joke.
He still had his frown but now was looking at his beer. "I've seen her before… but I still don't know from where…"
"Well… she says she came from the Phantom Lord's Kingdom. You know? From the one you and Juvia used to work for?"
He nodded. It was no secret in the Resistance. Juvia and Gajeel used to work for The Kingdom's ruler, Jose Porla, when it was in their glorious days. But thanks to Juvia falling hard for Gray, and dragging a poor Gajeel Redfox with her since he had been recently placed for execution, they joined our resistance after we met trying to raid their castle. Yep, we've entered the castle but not much.
"Hm… then maybe we should keep a close eye on her right….?" I said raising my drink since Mira had just recently brought it. Gray raised his icy drink towards us. I smiled "To Fairy Tail"
"To Fairy Tail" they muttered and later the clinging sound of the crystal cups came as we lowered them to drink.
As I drank, an Idea came to me "Hm… we should go to that Cantina in the outskirts of the city… you know… the one called 'Layla's Lullaby'…?"
They nodded. "Yeah, they said it was pretty good… and that it was made by the princess of that Kingdom…" Gray answered.
I smirked. "Then next trip it is… before we destroy it.
"Hear Hear" they muttered and continued drinking. Now us serving our own drinks since Mira decided to join the females' group after bringing my drink.
Hmmm… It would be nice…. To just chill over there with the group and hear some nice music. Who knows? Maybe if we win this war, I'll open my own bar called Fairy Tail… and Mira will still be the barmaid. Yup… taking positive thoughts to my surroundings sure those helps….
I am really sorry for the MEGA late update. I have been pretty busy at school and didn't want to send you a half chapter of only 300 chapters that I had that was later erased. But now that I got used to my school system, I could PROBABLY update sooner... I don't know... but do hope and pray. And if you don't pray then just send curses or goodluck charms. Whatever you wish.
Also, I have been in a pretty depressive moods on some times by some problems and writting this cheered me up. I didn't had this chapter planned like this. Just some sugar coated chapter. But I'm pretty glad that this came out how it came. With a hint of what is actually going to happen and how it's the land over at Fiore.
