Chapter Seventeen

Old friends…new enemies

A long time ago

Vanalu Village

A dark haired young man walked through the city. He looked to be around thirteen years old, hid black hair dancing softly in the wind. The villagers around him stopped what they were doing before staring straight at him, before starting to whisper behind their hands.

The young man however, paid them no attention, but he tightened his hands upon the basket he was carrying. He could hear what they were saying even thought he didn't want to. It was always the same thing every time he walked through the village.

He was the village pariah.

It was always the same eyes, always staring at him, judging him.

Without the young man`s knowledge an deadly aura was staring to take form around him. Seeing the display, they stepped back in fear.

"It`s him again," one of them said.

"When are they going to know that they`re not welcome here?" another said.

The thirteen year old`s aura grew even higher…but just before a hand fell on his shoulder snapping him out of his daze. He turned toward the person who had touched him and feel his own eyes widen.

"B…Brother," he said.

"Calm down," his brother said, giving him a grin, "You`re scaring them."

The dangerous aura disappeared almost instantly as the two brothers continued to walk through the village and aimed straight for the villa that was a little way away from the village itself.

"The Villagers hate us," the thirteen year old boy said.

"They only hate what they don't understand," his brother told him.

"It`s because of what had happened right?"

The brother turned toward the younger one. He was only fourteen years old and yet, his eyes seem much older than they should be. He gave a smile that didn`t quite reach his eyes before taking his little brother in a hug.

"Now now," he said, "Don`t you start crying you hear me? Don`t you dare cry…"

"S…Sorry," the thirteen years old said as tears started to fall from his eyes.

"You`re such a crybaby really," he laughed, stepping out of the hug, "Crybabies don`t make good Mages you know."

He watched his younger brother and then flicked him on the forehead.

"Hey," the younger one said.

"Don`t worry little brother, one day I`ll stop the tears," he said, "You won`t have to cry any longer and when Father return tonight, all four of us will be laughing again."

"But…,"

"No but," the older said, "C`mon, let`s hurry home, and we will be able to get this cake ready for Father`s return."

The thirteen years old give a smile, even thought he had tear tracks upon his face and then followed after his him. The duo reached the house and then in front of it, they noticed the mounted creatures that the Army used and a man was standing beside the door.

On the man`s clothes, was the Dragon Symbol.

"Dragon Slayers?" the older brother said, "Dad is back already?"

The two young child ran into the house, throwing the door open drawing the people`s attention that were in mid-conversation which broke off.

"Zeref, Rave," their Mother said, noticing the two boys.

"Mother, what`s going on?" Zeref asked as he approached her.

It was then he noticed the tear tracks upon the woman`s face, and how much pain they seem to be in the woman`s eyes. Then she crossed the room in a hurry taking both of her children into a hug.

"Mom…why are you crying?" Zeref asked again.

"My boys," she whispered, her tears continuing to fall, "My beautiful boys…"

Zeref`s eyes zoomed in toward the piece of clothes that was on the table as the other two Dragon Slayers stood up. He recognize it instantly after all, it had been his Father`s. He was the one who gave it to him after all.

But he saw that piece of the cloth was ripped and that a trail of blood had ran through the middle of it.

"W...Where…is Father?" he whispered.

But the woman just continued to cry as she holds both of her precious children into her arms. Little Rave can see his older brother`s face and for the first time, tears fell from those black eyes.

What he didn`t know that those tears that had started could never be stopped.

Magnolia

Present Day

Harry was woken up from her bed by a burning sensation in her left arm. The young woman let out a soft gasp of pain seeing that the chains in her arms were shining a bright red. She took hold of the arm wondering what was causing it to activate.

She then became aware of something else. She can hear conversation going around outside as people seems to be talking about something in the streets. She stepped out of the room and unto the Fairy Tail balcony that overlooked a part of the city.

Then her black eyes widened in surprised.

A large Tower of some kind stood not too far away from the side of the city. Harry blinked wondering what was going on for she was sure that the Tower wasn`t there last night.

"So you`ve seen it also," a small familiar voice said.

She glanced to her side finding Makarov standing there. The old man was staring at the Tower with a frown on his face.

"Makarov," she greeted, "When…When did these things appeared?"

"Probably sometimes during when everyone was asleep I presume," Makarov told her, "So you`ve never seen anything like it?"

Harry returned her gaze toward the Tower but before she can say anything, the chains in her arm started to glow again drawing Makarov`s attention. As Harry watched the chains in confusion, the Tower in the distance started to glow on his own, as the number 5 appeared upon it.

Harry glanced at the sign on the Tower, before her eyes widened.

I…I know what that is, she thought, …there is no doubt about it, but at the same time, how was it casted. There is one person I know that can do this…

The sea water that was behind Fairy Tail which was lazily moving with the winds suddenly pushed up drawing the attention of a few Fairy Tail members that were in the backyard. They looked up toward it and then it took the shape of a large hand before coming down toward them taking all of them out in one go.

"W…What the hell," they yelled as they got thrown back.

Then the water pulled back until a young woman was standing there. She was dressed in black clothes thought her long white hair fall down to her back.

"W…Who the hell are you?"

The woman chuckled.

"I don`t have to answer you Guild Wizards," she said before raising a hand.

"Water God Wave," she said.

The large blast of water pushed them back all the way back toward the Guild`s back door. The white haired woman looked up toward the building in front of her.

"So that`s where you are," she said chuckling, "It seems you still haven`t break the curse that was placed upon you. That`s good, after all, we won`t be companions if you did."

From within the Guild, Lucy glanced back toward where sound was coming from as she stared at the heavy sound that just filled the air. Natsu turned his attention from Gray since the two of them had, once again, started to fight against each other.

"What was that sound?" he said.

"Sound like a violent storm," Gray said, once again, standing in his underwear.

"Gray, your clothes," Cana told him as she chugged on a large barrel of alcohol.

"Damn it, where the hell…?" Gray stared.

Suddenly water flooded inside the guild causing everyone to yell out. The water quickly filled up the room as the members of the guild quickly stood up.

"Hey, where all of this water is coming from?"

"Hey, Juvia stop this," Gray yelled out.

"Juvia is not doing this," the Water Mage said, as stared out in confusion, "Juvia is confused as to why this is happening also."

"Then control it," Mira told her.

"Juvia will try," the blue haired mage said raising her hands.

But the water suddenly twisted upon itself until it became smaller and then the white haired woman from outside was standing in the middle of the guild. She had a smirk upon her face as her dark green eyes watched everyone around the knocked over tables and plates that littered the ground.

"Hello," she greeted.

"Who exactly are you?" Gray asked her.

"I`m sorry," the woman said, "but I do not have the time to waste on Mages like you…now tell me where he is now?"

Natsu frowned at her.

"You`ve flooded our guild," he yelled at her.

The woman gazed toward him and then her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Dragon Slayer," she hissed out, her voice carrying out the weight of anger and hatred within it.

Natsu blinked in confusion, wondering what this woman was suddenly so mad at him and how did she knew he was a Dragon Slayer by just a glance?

"It seems that they are still some of you around after the Purge," she said in a dark chuckle, "I wonder what kind of dragon is desperate enough to past the secrets of their magic to a little brat like you?"

That seems to hit a nerve on Natsu as flames appeared around his fist and then without knowing, he charged straight toward the woman.

"I`ll KILL YOU," he yelled.

The flaming fist hit the woman but her body simply splashed like water as Natsu landed on the ground behind her. The woman let out a chuckle again.

"Don`t you know it`s rude for a man to raise a hand against a woman," she let out as one of her arms turned into water.

"Water Whip,"

The attack hit Natsu on the side of his face as it send him flying into a wall.

"Natsu," Lucy yelled out.

"What the hell?" Macao said, "Her body is exactly like Juvia`s."

Then the mysterious woman turned toward the rest of the guild that was in front of her.

"Now, before I lose my temper," she said, "Tell me where Rave is right now?"

"I don't know who you are talking about," Gray told her as he put his fist into his palm, "But if you think you`re going to come here and hurt our friends, then you`ve got another thing coming."

The other mages stepped behind Gray all of them staring in anger at the white haired woman who let out a small smile.

"Oh," she said, her eyes on Gray, "I haven`t met an Ice Wizard in a while."

"Ice Make Lance," Gray yelled.

The attack come flying toward the white haired woman who jumped back letting them hit the ground. With a grin she turned to water and fled to the back of the Guild with Gray and the rest of the guild following after her.

They found the woman dropping to a crouch and Gray launched his fist forward.

"Super Freeze Arrow," he yelled.

All of the arrows aimed at the woman as they hit her but to their surprise, she seemed to have absorbed the arrows within her body. Then the woman let out a sigh in contentment.

"Ah," she said as a white smokes came out of her mouth, "Thanks for that, it was really tasty."

Gray narrowed at her and then the woman raised both of her hands and then the sea water behind her started to rise causing the entire group to stare in confusion and shock.

"S…She is more powerful than Juvia," Cana said shocked.

"Juvia is also shocked," the Water Mage said, "Juvia didn`t know that they were people that could control that much water."

"Since you`ve guys want to die," the white haired woman said, "Be my guess."

The water formed into a large spinning drill as it arced down toward them.

"God Water Drill," she yelled out as it came down toward the Fairy Tail wizards.

"That thing could take out the Guild Hall," Macao yelled, "And take part of the city with it."

Shit, it`s too big for me to freeze it in time, Gray thought staring at the incoming attack.

Then a black shape zoomed past Gray causing the young man to blink seeing the form flying up toward the large wave of water. The dark shape put a hand up as the Water Drill reached it and then…

"Crystal World," the voice yelled out.

Then the Water Drill simply froze, incased in crystal in an arc above them as the entire guild stared at it in surprise and in shock at the crystallized water above them. Then the black shape came down landing in front of them in a crouch, the tattered black cloak dancing in the wind.

"H…Harry," Gray let out.

"S…She turned the water to crystal?" Lucy said.

"And she did it…in an instant," Juvia said, shocked.

The dark haired girl stood up straight before staring straight toward the white haired girl across her.

"Only you have that power to…turn anything to crystal," the white haired woman said, "I must say, your new look is quite…beautiful, my little Raven."

"Siren," Harry said, thought her voice sounded quite emotionless.

"Now is it how you great your old friends Rave," the white haired woman, now christened Siren said her eyes staring straight at her.

"Hey…Hey, Harry what is she talking about?" Gray asked.

Siren leaned her head sideway.

"Harry?" she repeated, "So that is why we couldn`t find you. You`ve changed your name."

Harry stared at her straight in the eyes.

"Why are you here Siren?" she asked her.

Siren let out a soft chuckle.

"Don`t treat us like that Rave, it`s hurtful" she said, all humor gone from her face.

Harry frowned in confusion.

"Us?"

At the same time, two other figures appeared right behind Siren. Harry can only widen her eyes in shock as she stared at them.

"You…You two," she whispered.

One of the guys was holding a large Scythe upon his back a grin on his face while the other one was wearing a gray hood, shadowing the face, thought he had a large grin on his lips.

"Heya, Rave-boy," the one with the Scythe spoke out staring straight at Harry, "It`s been a while."

The new arrivals makes an appearance? How does Harry know them?

Next time: The Tower of 5
