Chapter Eleven
Complications
Back in Town, That night
Lucy and Gray were standing beside Natsu`s bed, which the guy was still unconscious from the blow that the mysterious Harry had given him. Happy was seating beside the young Dragon Slayer`s head, sad that his friend was knocked out.
"He is still out of it," he said.
"She gave him Fire to strengthen his power," Gray said, "Even with that…Natsu couldn`t beat her…"
Lucy glanced at him.
"You think she planned that fight from the beginning?"
He frowned.
"Ever since she challenged him," he said, "I`ve had that feeling that Natsu was out of her league…It was like everything he threw at her didn`t even hurt her. She didn`t even seem winded by the end of the fight. If anyone fought against Natsu and come out on top…they would be at least tired or something…but for her nothing."
Gray tched.
"She was just messing with him from the start," he said, "I don't think she even took him seriously."
Lucy was surprised.
"So is she an S-Class Wizard like Gildarts," she said.
"Probably," Gray said, "That job you guys took has to be S-Class because I don't see how we are going to beat her."
Lucy was surprised.
"But it was on the regular Request Board," she said.
"It could have updated to an S Class job without even us knowing it," Gray told her.
He then stood up.
"Where are you going?" Lucy asked him.
"I`m going to talk to that old guy," he said, "Maybe he can give up the information he neglected to inform us."
The Ice Wizard walked out of the room leaving Lucy along with Happy and the unconscious Natsu.
Wake up soon Natsu, she thought.
Gray walked straight toward the house where they had met the old man before. He knocked upon the door.
"Oy, Grampa, it's the wizards you`ve hired," he yelled out, "We need to talk about some details left out on the flyer…"
As he continued to knock, the door leaned open giving way toward the darkness inside the room. He blinked in surprise at it before stepping inside.
"Amanio," he called, "Are you there?"
Gray stepped inside the house looking around. Everything was dark so it was kind of hard to see the inside of the house. He continued to walk forward until he arrived inside a room giving out toward the outside.
The moonlight was giving way inside the room and he saw something sticking out from behind one of the chair and he approached toward it.
"Hey, Amanio…," Gray said turning the chair around.
He started noticing that the man was asleep with his head bowed down. Gray sighed before poking his shoulder.
"Hey old man, I need to talk to you," he said.
His light touch send the old man forward unto him which he quickly took hold of but the head had fallen off causing Gray to panic.
"Oh, shit his head," he yelled out letting go of the rest of the body.
Everything falls down on the ground with pinging sound as he stared at it. It was a puppet, a puppet of the old man they had met earlier.
What the hell, the man is a puppet? He thought, Shit I`ve got to get to Lucy.
Gray quickly ran out of the house running toward where his friends where and threw the door open.
"Lucy something is going…," he started.
But the room was empty.
Just what is going on? he thought.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes searching for any sign of his friends but there weren`t a trace of them. He then glanced back toward the town.
Now that I think about it, he thought, I haven`t seen anyone since we arrived in Town. It`s like a ghost town…the only person we`ve met other than Amanio was that Harry girl…
An idea suddenly sprung in his mind causing him to take off toward the mountain again.
The Temple
A small fire was going on as Harry seated down beside it. She was quietly watching the flames lost in her memories…
Flashback
"What?" He said, staring at the young teen in front of him.
"I want to fight against you," Kleve said, "If I win I`m going to be stronger than you."
The young man sighed.
"Why do you want to do that Kleve?" he asked, "I don't wish to fight against you."
"Well I do pal," Kleve yelled, "Get ready."
He summoned his Directional Magic.
"Change of Direction," he yelled.
Harry sidestepped the blast as he charged forward slamming a punch into Kleve`s stomach. The young man simply falls down on the ground, knocked out.
"Wow," Daphne said, chuckling, "One hit KO."
"When he wakes up, he`s going to be sore," Avery laughed.
The rest beside him started to laugh as Harry scratched his head.
"I may have put too much force into that," he said.
End of flashback
The girl blinked snapping herself out of those memories.
Jeez, she thought, Just because I met that Fairy Tail guy, I start thinking about them again…
She pulled up the sleeve of her right hand, showing the white Fairy Tail mark that was branded there. She continued to stare at it as another memory came up.
Flashback
"This mark is proof that no matter for how long we are separated, my bond with you will always be strong," he said.
Mavis feels some tears falling from her eyes.
"Harry…," she whispered.
The young man turned his head toward her and for the first time in her life, Mavis saw a true smile on the young man`s face.
"Goodbye First Master," he said.
He started to walk again, lowering his arm.
"I will wait," Mavis yelled.
Harry didn`t stop but he slowed in his walk, showing that he was listening to her.
"I will wait for you to return," she said, a smile on her face even as her tears continued to fall, "You are a Mage of Fairy Tail, and Magnolia will be the home of everyone bearing the mark of my guild."
End of Flashback
She tightened her fist, feeling something clog up at her throat.
"You have let love inside your heart…your curse will cleanse you of it,"
Harry was on the ground holding the chains as they glow a deep red color.
"No please…don't do this," he said, "Don't make them forget…Don't…"
"Disappear from their memories,"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH,"
She blinked hearing someone calling her name. The young woman lowered her sleeve, hiding the mark again and stood back up walking out of the temple. She blinked finding the dark haired young man she had met earlier today.
"What are you doing back here?" she asked him.
"What have you done to my friends?" he asked her.
She blinked.
"I didn`t see your friends since you took the Dragon Slayer away from here," she answered him, "Why are you asking me?"
"Everyone in town is gone," he yelled at her, "The old man Amanio is nothing but a puppet…"
Harry blinked.
"Amanio?" she repeated, "He died years ago."
The young man blinked at her, shock showing on his face.
"What?"
"Amanio was the last member of the Village at the foot of this mountain," Harry told him, "I buried him inside this Temple along with his forefathers. How do you know that name?"
"I`ve meet him earlier today," the young man said, "We`ve come here on a job to find the Amulet of Apocalypse inside this Temple."
"This Temple is called Amulet of Apocalypse," Harry told him as she stepped down the steps, "You said a job brought you here…I am afraid that you and your friends had been lured into a trap."
A shocked look crossed the young man`s face.
"A trap," he said, "Then who…?"
Harry frowned to herself.
Could that mean that all the wizards I have faced the past few days disappeared also, she thought, someone had been luring wizard from all over Fiore to this location…but why?
She looked toward the young man.
He must be also a Fairy Tail wizard, she thought, Just as the Dragon Slayer and the blonde girl. Anyone who messes with Mavis`s guild…mess with me.
"I`ll help you find your friends," she said as she stood beside him, "Something strange is going on here…and I want to know exactly what it is. It`s best we get back into the town and check something out."
The two ran back down the mountain heading back down toward the town again, which was as empty as it always was.
"Why are we back here?" the young man asked her.
Harry didn`t answer him as she walked forward, her eyes scanning everything around her. She didn't have anything to say before a small voice yelled out.
"GRRRAAAAAYYYYY,"
The young man, Gray glanced up toward the voice.
"Happy," he said.
A small blue missile slammed straight into his body almost knocking him down.
"Happy, you`re okay," Gray said, "Where are Natsu and Lucy?"
Happy was shaking in his arms.
"Happy," he said.
"It took them…," the blue cat said, tears falling from his eyes as he stared up at Gray, "The demon took them."
The two stared at him.
"A demon?"
The blue cat nodded.
"It came for us when you left Gray," he said, "It took Lucy and Natsu."
"Where did that demon took them Happy?" Gray asked him.
The blue cat sniffed.
"Into the forest," he said.
He pointed toward the trees on the other side of town.
"A demon," Harry said frowning, "That`s odd."
I didn`t feel any strange magic, she thought.
"Let`s go," Gray said, "That demon chose the wrong friends to kidnap."
Harry nodded.
"Lead us blue cat," she said.
What awaits them next...
