Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did on it, then the ending might not have included as many characters.

As Romeo prepared for his next mission, he grabbed a book and placed it into a small bag. Romeo then put on a dark, long sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans, and a black hoodie. Romeo left his room and went over to Keres

"Are you ready for the mission?" Keres asked.

"I got everything I need. I'm ready to go." Romeo answered.

"Well let me go over the details one last time. Your target is a rich, business owner in Bosco. He's been working with a dark guild, giving them funds to take out his competitors and to do anything he wants. He's recently entered the slavery game and is preparing for a large auction." Keres told Romeo.

"And all I need to do is kill him right?" Romeo asked.

"Well yes but you don't have to make it sound so bad."

"You are the literal god of death. What else would you be sending me to do, go make him some coffee?" Romeo joked. "I mean seriously, I've been doing this for years now. Now send me down."

Keres raised her hand and a black mist started to surround Romeo. Romeo disappeared then reappeared in the alley of a large city.

"Looks like I'm here. The Capital of Bosco, Bosco City. Seriously, couldn't they have thought of a better name for a capital?" Romeo said to himself.

Romeo walked out of the alley and began to walk into the crowd. Romeo walked closer to the center of town until he approached a large building. In giant letters was written Howie Inc. Romeo entered the lobby and saw that it was full of people. He looked around and saw a staircase which was unguarded. Romeo quickly snuck upstairs and kept going up until he saw a guard guarding a door. Romeo quickly ran up to the guard and choked him until he was knocked out.

Romeo opened the door and saw a hallway which was mostly empty besides a couple of guards. Romeo went into his bag and grabbed a mask which resembled a skull with three red slashes going across the left side. Romeo put the mask on and ran up to the guards.

"Freeze!" One of the guards yelled.

Romeo grabbed the guard and threw him into another. He then punched the last one in the jaw which sent the guard flying a few feet. One of the guards grabbed a gun and shot Romeo, but the bullet bounced off the mask. Romeo turned his attention to the guard and then rushed up to him.

"I'll give you 2 options, you can either surrender or I can't guarantee your life." Romeo threatened.

The guard then threw his gun away.

"That was a good choice." Romeo said as he knocked the guard out. "With that gunshot, it's only a matter of time till reinforcements come."

Romeo walked towards a large door at the end of the hallway which read Thomas Howie. Romeo walked up and opened the door to see a large man in a fancy suit sitting at the other end of a desk.

"So, it looks like someone is after my life. With all the good I've done, mind if I ask why you want to kill me?" Howie asked.

"This is more about your side business and some of your more questionable associates." Romeo answered.

"Well if you know all that, I can't just let you leave now can I?" Howie said as he snapped his fingers.

Two men appeared with both of them stabbing Romeo in opposite sides of him. They pulled their swords out expecting their target to die, only to see a black, ash like substance appearing and healing the wounds. They backed up and prepared for their next course of action.

"So the rumor is true, there's a hit man who's killing high profile targets who is seemingly immortal who wears a mask of a skull. It seems like Muerto is more than just a myth." Howie says.

"Is that what people are calling me now. Muerto, that has a nice ring to it. It describes me nicely." Romeo started.

Romeo put his hands up to the two swordsmen as jet black revolvers appear in them. Romeo fires killing both of the swordsmen then the guns disappear. Romeo walks up to Howie, and sits in the seat in front of the desk.

"I think you have some information I want." Romeo says.

"And what might that be?" Howie asks.

"Where are they?" Romeo asks.

"It seems you know more than you let off. But sadly, you aren't going to make it out of there." Howie replies.

"And why is that?" Howie asks.

"Because, you underestimated me. If you thought you were talking me me that is." Howie puts his hand up revealing a remote with a large red button on it. "Maybe you should have researched your target a bit more before you went to kill a clone."

Howie pushed the button and the entire room exploded. As the dust cleared, Romeo walked towards the edge of the building and took his mask off.

"Well played Howie, Well played."

Natsu thought about what just happened to him as he found himself lying on the ground outside of the Guildhall. He looked up and saw a Natsu sized hole on the wall in front of him.

"Wait, why am I outside?" Natsu asked himself.

"Well maybe you shouldn't ruin Erza's cake. You know how protective she is over it." a voice told him.

Natsu looked up and saw Wendy standing above him holding her hand out. Natsu took her hand and she pulled him up.

"You know Lucy is going to kill you if you cause to much chaos, right?" Wendy asked.

"Hey that wasn't even my fault this time, I tripped over Gray's pants. If anything he should have gotten knocked through a wall." Natsu complained.

The two entered the guildhall where the normal chaos was happening. The only difference was there was a group of small children hanging around and a few of the members had children with them.

"Man, I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing the kids here." Natsu told Wendy.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to you having a kid." Wendy replied.

"Hey guys it's about to start." Mira said as she turned the radio up.

"Still can't believe that Max has his radio station." Natsu said before everyone quieted down to listen to the radio.

"This is Fiore's number one radio station and number one in areas surrounding Fiore, Fiore National Radio, and here is the news. First up we have a flood which affected many in the coastal areas near Hargeon. Local officials believe that it shouldn't cause much trouble with everyday activities but ask anyone who is planning to visit Hargeon to be cautious if they aren't used to the flooding. Next up, a local mage in Margaret Town helped stop a robbery in progress when he froze the robber before he could escape."

"Well looks like it's been a good day, as always." Warren announced.

"Quiet Warren, we're trying to listen." Gajeel yelled.

"And next up is, wait what's that? Well we have some breaking news. In Bosco, am assassination attempt was made at Mr. Thomas Howie, the owner of Howie Inc. Locals said they heard gunshots coming from his office located in Bosco City around 4 p.m. this afternoon. Soon after, an explosion went off in Mr. Howie's personal office. Luckily, no civilians were hurt in the explosion. Four of Howie's personal guards were injured and two of them were killed. It's was assumed that the guards were killed prior to the explosion. Luckily, Mr. Howie wasn't at his office at the time. Howie swears that he won't let the deaths of his employees be in vain. He identified the Assassin as Muerto, a young hitman who has killed more than 30 high profile targets on the past 2 years, not including the guards protecting them. A bounty of 6 million jewel has been placed for Muerto. Well that's all we have now. Tune in later for some more news. This has been Fiore National Radio."

"I'm sure you all heard the news report." Makarov said to the guild. " A request has come in by the queen asking for us to send a couple of mages into Bosco to find this Muerto. He's apparently killed people all across the continent and she doesn't want him to come to Fiore. So to take extra precautions, I'm going to send a few teams to go capture him."

"So who are you going to send gramps?" Natsu asked.

"Well it's not just going to be from Fairy Tail. A few teams coming from different guilds will be sent. There will be a guild master's meeting in a couple of days where we will decide. But if anyone has a problem with going, let me know now." Makarov told the guild.

After a few moments of silence, Natsu spoke up, "Gramps I think all of us feel the same way about this, this guy brings a threat that we haven't had in years. We haven't had multiple guilds team up to fight a common enemy since the Oracion Seis. If this Muerto is that big of a problem, we don't want him loose, when we have our kids here."

"Well said Natsu, Levy and Lucy, if you two could can you try to find any information on this Muerto character." Makarov asked.

"Sure thing Master." Lucy answered.

"Hey Master there is one thing I've realized." Levy said.

"And what is that?" Makarov asked.

"It's his name, Muerto. When you said it, it seemed familiar to me. I remember what it is. It's from an ancient language I learned when I was on a translation job, if I remember right, it means dead." Levy answered.

"Well from what I saw told, that name was given to him by those who had seen him before. Try to find as much information on him a you can so we won't go in unprepared." Makarov said.

"Sure thing Master."

Romeo sat on top of a building with his phone in his hand. Romeo waited until he got a call.

"Well it's about time you called." Romeo said.

"Well what the hell happened. I thought you said this would be an easy job." a voice yelled at him.

"Well Keres, maybe if you did a better job on researching Howie, then maybe this wouldn't have happened." Romeo yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Keres asked.

"Well I would have been nice to know that he used clone magic." Romeo answered.

"Well sorry, how was I supposed to know. Nevermind, don't answer that. Well I thought I should warn you that a few surrounding countries have decided to send in a task force to capture you." Keres informed Romeo.

"Well, which countries?" Romeo asked.

"Bosco, Seven, Iceburg, and Fiore." Keres answered.

"Well, this might be a new challenge, but if it's a fight they want, then it's a fight they will get."

"Don't you sound excited?"

"Hey Keres, I need you to call an old friend."

When ancestors roll in their Graves

When friends can ask but not give aid

When trust has worth like platinum bars

That's when we know we have it made

A/N: Prepare for war. I hope you guys enjoyed. So which mages do you want to see be part of the task force? If you have any ideas let me know, I always appreciated your feedback. There won't be a chapter next week.
