I am really, really sorry for taking this long. My parents did something to our wifi that blocks . Plus, we also moved in August, and I keep getting an insane amount of homework. :( Anyway, you don't want to hear me ramble on about stuff, so let's get to the story.

Happy Holidays and New Year everyone!

"Come on!" Kokoa yelled, looking back at Akua.

The black haired mage started walking, her brain exploding with questions that she didn't have answers to. She stopped focusing on the man and turned her attention to the town. Adults were crying, no matter where she looked. All the children were simply...

"Gone", Laxus spoke. "This is more serious than I thought."

The man of mystery ignored him and walked into a building, not bothering to check if the others were following. By the time the three mages entered, he was leaning back in a chair, feet crossed on the desk before him.

"Your job has changed. You are now finding out why they kidnapped the children", he said, looking at each wizard.

"So, did you already figure out the organization?" Kokoa asked.

"Yes. We know that a group calling themselves Fairy Tale- T A L E, that is. That group is working together with the dark guild Raven Tail."

Akua couldn't hide her shock. 'Fairy Tale. She should have known they were behind this. How could she possibly complete this mission, all while pretending to be part of both Fairy Tail and Fairy Tale?' (Ha ha)

Laxus put on his best poker face. He couldn't let them find out, no matter what.

Kokoa was the only one that could reply. "How will we find them?"

The man clad in black stood and opened the door behind him, revealing a white room with a screen. "It's all in here."

"But-" Laxus started, but the man was gone. He sighed. "Come on."

The three of them stepped into the room, very slowly. The door locked behind them with a loud click.

A women appeared on the screen, smirking. She looked exactly like Kahlua.

Kokoa stood speechless, unmoving. It was her.

The woman spoke. "Now puny mages, I suppose you're wondering how I could possibly know you were here. I mean, what are the odds?" She smiled in a taunting way. "One of you told us."

The screen turned dark.

Laxus swore under his breath. 'Somehow Ivan could track him. Surely that was the only explanation. He had to tell the others at least part of the story.' "It was probably me." Laxus spoke out loud. "They always seem to know my location."

Akua couldn't let him take full responsibility for this. "No. It was my fault. I'm a member of Fairy Tale."

Kokoa exchanged a surprised glance with Co Buddy as Laxus gave Akua a hard, searching glare.

She had to take a chance. Akua motioned them closer and whispered quickly, "I'm a double agent. Pretend like you're still mad at me."

Laxus made a noise and walked to the other side of the room muttering, "I hate traitors."

Kokoa looked mad, "Akua, how could you? Co-Buddy!"

Before she could attempt to fight with her sister, the screen turned on, reavealing the same woman, looking disappointed.

"I hoped you would be tearing each other apart by now, my lovely daughters."

"Moka, you can't be here. You have to get out", Tsukune spoke, his voice rising with the urgency of the situation they were in.

"Tsukune, I'm getting you out of here", Moka said, oblivious. She put another arm inside the mirror.

"No! You'll be trapped!" He tried to push her out, but it was no use.

Lily looked at Kahlua, who was thinking the exact same thing. They both rushed at Moka, trying to pull her out.

She kicked and turned, fighting, resisting as hard as she could. It was all very well, but, without her full strength, Moka was no match for the two powerful wizards.

Kahlua looked at her sister, calm despite the situation. "Moka, tell me the truth now. What did you see inside that mirror?"

Her eyes widened, remembering Tsukune's desperate expression.

Kahlua put her hands on her sister's shoulders, and looked Moka in the eye. "Tell me."

Moka fell to her knees. "I-I saw Tsukune."

Kahlua frowned. 'So that brat it involved. Things just got a bit more complicated.' "Did you see anyone else?" She asked out loud.

The girl with the pink hair looked like she was about to cry. "N-no."

"I think I can get him out", Kahlua told the others. 'There was no point for them to get caught up in matters between the Keeper and Fairy Tale. Anyway, Tsukune was of no use to the soldier project. He belonged to a guild.' She smiled.

Lily opened her mouth, surprised. "How?"

Not answering her question, Kahlua started murmuring to herself. "Let's hope this works." She closed her eyes. "Inter-Dimension Armor!"

She slowly extended an ice blue sword until it skimmed the mirror's glass. Kahlua pushed harder, and the tip slowly entered the mirror. The requip mage let out a breath. 'This will work.'

She moved her sword upward, creating a tiny slit. Slowly, Kahlua managed to create an opening big enough for Tsukune.

"Kahlua, Lily, you're here too?" He said, stepping out. "But, if you weren't captured..." His voice trailed off.

"It doesn't matter. We're saving you", Moka said, determined.

"I don't think so", Those four words echoed from behind them.

Gray and Erza broke apart, blushing as the rain steadily increased around them.

Erza looked up and swore under her breath. "Juvia's here."

"What?" Gray asked, honestly confused.

"Water Slicer!" The mage in question yelled, stepping out from behind a bush, fire in her eyes.

Gray quickly froze the water, more in self defense than anything else. "Juvia, what are you doing here?"

"So, Gray-sama does not want Juvia here?" She said with a glare that could melt ice. (No pUN INTENDED, of course.)

He held up his hands in submission. "I'm just going to leave now."

"No!" Both Erza and Juvia yelled.

Gray gritted his teeth. This was getting worse. Why did they care so much anyway?"

She sent a jet of water, directly at Erza. The latter jumped and quickly requipped into Sea Empress armor.

Swords appeared, circling around her, all pointed at Juvia. Erza released the blades, all at once.

"Juvia's body is made of water. Blades cannot hurt Juvia", she said, sending an even more powerful stream of water at the other girl.

Erza diverted the liquid with her shield and smirked. "You know the great thing about water?" She asked, conversationally. "It's a great conductor of electricity." Erza ran forward, requipping as fast as a bolt of lightning. (I am on FIRE. Oh wait, Natsu isn't here) She stabbed Juvia with a sword, tingling with electricity.

A look of utter shock passed over Juvia's face. (-_- I need to stop) She glowed lightly and fell backwards, staggering to her feet moments later.

Gray couldn't watch anymore. He ran between them. "Stop", he commanded.

"She knew she would get hurt if she tried to fight me", Erza replied.

Gray took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "I know. And I believe she could have handled this fight on her own. But this isn't like you guys."

Natsu got up and started pacing. "They're taking too long, he said impatiently."

Lucy sighed, looking up at the rainy sky. "I'm sure they have a reason. Plus, Juvia's watching over them."

To give me more time, 5 reviews until the next actual chapter! (I might post a little Fairy Tail Christmas thing in between. It's going to be the same for both this story and Erza's Promise.)

Since I'm almost done with Erza's promise and I can't think of a new story, I'll be taking requests! :D

I'm part of a lot of fandoms, so just pm me and ask. I'll reply saying if I'll use it or not. ;)
