Thursday, time for an update\(^_^)…(It's Friday….xD sssssh)
I don't own Fairy Tail, only the OC's and this plot.
Sorry for all the grammar mistakes. Have fun reading!
Chapter 7
The ship flew away from Lucy and the others. 'Why aren't they attacking us?' asked Evergreen in confusing.
'They don't need to, they have what they wanted.' said Lucy while panted heavily.
'The weapon has been loaded and is ready for use. What their target is, is more important than a couple wounded mages who are trying to get away.'
-0o0-
Tyler was in the control room looking out of the window in front of him. Only clouds could be seen, but if he was right, there have to be a floating prison….somewhere. Specially made for her, or more said specially made for them. The prison had no doors, no windows, no humans to guard. No body or soul to control. The ship went slowing down.
'Master, we are on the coordinates, what are your orders?' asked the captain of the ship.
'Keep floating forward, load all the weapons and beware of anything.'
The captain saluted and gave orders to anyone in the ship to ready themselves. Everyone in the ship went running up and down to get in their position. Magic weapons were loading, as the ship flew further into the clouds.
'Uncle?' said Melanie half asleep in the opening with only Mrs. Lilly in her smaller form behind her.
'Melanie, could you sleep a little bit?'
The little girl shook her head. 'I want to see Mommy?'
Tyler sighed. 'You need to wait a little bit longer, we are almost there.' He could understand her frustration. She have waited most of her years for her mother to return and now that the final moment is in her reach…the excitement is getting too much for her. She is sleeping shorter and showing symptoms of wanted to do it her own way. Tyler is relieved that she was still listening to him, any other member of the guild is getting the full ignore mode. She quickly think of something to play with and runs away from them. You can't blame her, no one can if they knew. Knew about how her grandmother or better speaking their mother. Tyler was confident that is was her fault that they were imprisoned in the first place and it was also her fault that Melanie grew up in her care instead of a friend, what he and his sister had wanted. Tyler's thoughts were interrupted.
He and Melanie looked up when they felt a large magical source. A metal building came in their sight between the clouds, that was surrounded with a massive force field. The metal building had no windows, no doors, it had only a small platform for any particular visitors. In his eyes not something that was used often. People were afraid of her, even the council members wouldn't approach her so lightly.
Tyler looked up and saw a large magical circle floating above the building, clearly the source of that force field, but apparently also a sensor. The magical circle went from the color white towards red, when the ship was getting to close. Summoning circles were appearing in the air in front of the building. Huge creatures appeared in form of a Centaur. One part horse, other half human. The Centaur like creatures consisted only of armor that in some magical way were floating surrounding its invisible body. Some had swords, some others had shields, bows or spears. Tyler was concentrated on them but couldn't feel anything. 'Mindless creatures, they are prepared well.' Smirked Tyler. As he had suspected, a prison specially made for them. No minds he could control, no souls to be devoured and no deathly remains to bring to life. But the council haven't know about one thing and that is Melanie. His sister had giving birth to a little girl a couple years before she was imprisoned. Having the fear that their daughter would get the same treatment as they had, they searched a living in the woods, far away from any living human. When the council had found them, they had hided Melanie as fast as they could. And now they are here, trying to be reunited again. 'Melanie, come here.' He waved towards the little girl.
'Uncle? What are those?'
'Those little mind, are creatures called Hephaes, the Volcan. They can only be summoned by high level mages.'
'Why are they called the Volcan?'
'Because they flare up in flames when they are attacking an enemy.'
The creatures in their armor were coming closer and just as Uncle, Melanie couldn't detect any soul in the Volcan's body. It looked almost like a ghost was controlling the movement in those armor. No flesh could be found. The armors were empty shells. A light appeared in the armor. Flames came through the holes of it. A line of Volcans with a bow were formed and they took their aim. They unleashed their arrows, with a fierce speed. It flew in the air and made contact with the ship's force field, that they had prepared by steeling all those lacrima's. Even with all that electric energy, the arrows pierced the field and exploded.
Everyone was holding into something, when the ship was beginning the shake. Alarm noises were yelling in the control room. The captain of the ship was screaming orders, while Melanie looked impressed at the soulless creatures and she knew what she wanted. 'Uncle, can I have one of those for Mr. Chaply?'
Tyler laid his only healthy hand on Melanie's shoulder. 'Of course, but please be careful. Your mother is going to kill me, if something happens to you.'
'I will Uncle.' Melanie was jumping with happiness, gave Tyler a quick hug and went running towards the exit of the ship. Near the exit stood a guard, who tensed immediately at the sight of the little girl.
She stopped in front of the guard with an honest smile. 'Sir, can you open the door please?' asked Melanie the guard who was obviously was shaking because of fear.
The guard was getting sweat on his face by the question. 'B..u-u-t….Miss Melanie, that could be dangerous.'
Dark green magic was glowing around Melanie and her little teddy bear near her leg grew until it was reaching the ceiling. 'Open the door…..please and leave.'
The guard cowered in fear, when he saw the anger of Mrs. Lilly and he opened quickly the door of the ship. Mrs. Lilly grabbed as fast as she could her Master, when the door opened. The wind was sucking Melanie and Mrs. Lilly towards the door. The guard was holding tight and gasped at the sight. The big teddy bear stepped out of the door and climbed on the metal ladders on the outside of the ship. The little girl was holding onto her friend, while Mrs. Lilly tried to shield her Master for the strong and massive wind. Melanie looked up when she noticed that the force field of the ship had been repaired before another strike was sent loose by the Hephaes.
Mrs. Lilly and her Master were now standing on the nose of the ship. Tyler ordered to shut down the force field and looked at his niece. He knew she could manage herself, but she was still very young and unpredictable. The force field wasn't really strong enough to protect them anyway, but it would stop the little girls power to reach the Hephaes herself.
Melanie saw the creatures and could feel that they were in her reach. 'Mr. Chaply here comes a new body,' said the little girl with a smile on her face. She was holding up one hand, pointing it towards one Volcan with two swords in his hands, while Mrs. Lilly was trying to keep her steady on one place. 'Soul link!' A dark green glue came out of her hands and had attached itself on that particular Volcan. The flames became smaller and the Volcan didn't move for a couple seconds. 'Mr. Chaply, it's time to play!' said Melanie cheerful. The dark green glue disappeared and flames became normal again. The Volcan, who had now the soul of Mr. Chaply was slicing on other Volcans while galloping around in the air. The creatures reacted too slow and weren't able to defend them self for attacks familiar to their own.
Mrs. Lilly still holding Melanie was looking at her master. Melanie looked up at the teddy bear's damaged fur. 'Do you also want a new body?'
Mrs. Lilly nodded. 'Ok, but you need to catch me afterwards.' Smiled Melanie.
She was now focusing on a Volcan with a spear and a shield. Dark green glue came out of her right hand, while her left hand was connected with Mrs. Lilly chest. 'Soul Exchange!' yelled Melanie.
The strength of the hug teddy bear faded away and she felt the hard wind around her. Without any support from Mrs. Lilly, she felt the wind throwing her of the ship. The Volcan with the shield and spear immediately flew towards her. Mrs. Lilly caught her master and placed the little girl on her back, while Mrs. Lilly previous body had fallen out of their reach.
'Horsy riding!' said Melanie laughing. It was all a game for her, but Tyler was holding his breath, when he saw his niece falling of the ship. He could swear that he almost had a heart attack when he saw Melanie falling off from the ship. That girl could be sometimes so reckless. The thoughts of what his sister would do to him, made him shuddered.
'Melanie, would you like to come back? It would be a shame that your friends new body would get a little bit dirty before seeing your mother.' Said Tyler in her mind.
'Aww, but I wanted to play more.' Pouted the little girl.
'Melanie…'
Melanie sighed. 'Ok…..Mr. Chaply, Mrs. Lilly, we are going to play further at home.' Mr. Chaply stopped his attacks and flew towards his Master.
He felt some relief when he noticed that Melanie was out of the battle field. 'Captain, shield up, shoot on those Volcan's and load the canon!'
In the weapon room were multiple mages taking their position. Below the ship, were metal plates shifting and forming an opening. Through the opening came a massive canon. The mages were sending their magic towards the controller to aim it.
Small weapons were shooting towards the Volcan's who were still alive after the attacks from Mr. Chaply, while the large canon was focused on the force field of the building. Tyler smirked by the sight how easily the Hephaes were defeated. Their attacks were powerful but their defenses were weak. The weakness of summoning magic is how further away the mage is of his creatures, how weaker the creature get. No living being was brave enough to come near this place. They were to paranoid of what his sister could do. The councils members were to naïve that the force field could prevent any trouble makers. But with the canon's power….Tyler knew that this would be no fight at all to free his sister.
'Master, the canon is ready,' said the captain.
Tyler smirked and gave a sign to shoot.
The canon fired a laser of lightning towards the metal building. The last creatures still roaming the air turned into dust with the power of the laser. The laser clashed into the shield and little cracks were forming in it.
Tyler saw Melanie walking in the control room with two little metal horses on her side. Even if it were the same souls, it felt like two different people were walking side by her. Instead of the familiar teddy bears were now little metal horses on her side. He smiled, one the first day he immediately accepted those two souls to protect her little niece. Mrs. Lilly the oldest of the two, clearly think things through on her own, while Mr. Chaply is more forcefully and goes head one. They work perfectly together and gave Melanie strength in the times her family couldn't give it her.
Sound of shattered glass was reaching his ears, the magical source they had felt was gone.
'We've broken through, Master Tyler,' said the captain of the ship.
'Good! Prepare to land.'
The ship landed on the platform. Tyler walked towards the wall in the front of the metal building. 'Make a door!' commanded he towards a couple guards.
The guards grabbed their lacrima weapons and shot towards the wall. Not even a scratch was formed from the blast. Tyler pondered. He couldn't shoot that canon on the building again, the change of harming his sister was likely. How is he going to do this? He looked at the little metal horses. The Volcans were here to defend this prison but also to keep his sister inside this prison. They should be able to eliminate also any enemy who were able to get inside these metal walls.
'Melanie, can you open this door, your mother can't see your friends with all these metal walls in front of her view.'
Melanie looked at Mr. Chaply, who was already growing to a normal Volcan again. His swords were catching flames and he pierced with his swords right through the wall. The wall responded on the familiar touch of a Volcan. The wall was literally melting by the touch of his swords. In a couple minutes an opening was made.
A slender woman was looking up at all the noise. She had brown long hair and was wearing a plain brown ragged dress. She was floating in a container with a special liquid, that would keep her alive without any food or other needs. The prison existed only for her. No other prisoners were keeping her company. The uproar outside, was making her curious. She didn't had any visitors since the last visit by the council and that had been a long time. She wasn't really sure how long that had been. She wasn't even sure which date it was. Rose could see how swords of flames were coming through the metal wall and within minutes a lump of wall felt on the ground. She protected her eyes from the first light she was able to see in all those years. Her heart was pounding faster. Lingering on some hope, she had forgotten.
Tyler went through the opening and saw that the wall was at least ten inches thick. No wonder that their weapons had no effect. Melanie's eyes widened and she wanted to run towards the container as fast as she could, when she got sight of her mother.
'Melanie wait!' screamed Tyler.
The little girl was too excited to listen to reason and Mrs. Lilly responded in a second. The little horse grew towards a full-fledged Volcan and galloped with massive speed towards her Master. A trap was activated and Mrs. Lilly was just on time with her shield to block the upcoming attacks. She saw the source of the magic circle and threw her spear towards the other side of the room. The spear pierced a lacrima who was stuck in the wall and the attacks had stopped. Melanie had unconsciously clenched onto Mrs. Lilly and she looked up.
Tyler was also standing defensively above his niece and he let out some air he had been holding. Melanie had started to cry. 'Whaaah….Sowwy, I'm sowwy,' sobbed Melanie. Tyler smiled slightly and tried to comfort her. 'It's ok little mind, I know you want to hug your mother, try to be a little bit more patient. Let Mrs. Lilly fist check the room for more traps.'
The mind mage looked up and gave a nod towards the large centaur. Knowing that she would understand his gratefulness of her fast reaction to protect his little niece. Mrs. Lilly checked one more time her little Master and went checking the room.
Mrs. Lilly gave Tyler the signal, after some more traps, that it was clear. He walked towards the container and laid his hand on it. Runes came in front of him. He was dragging some runes towards some other places until it was forming the symbol of their old guild. Death Psych. The symbol was a skeleton head with some liquid dripping of its head. Thank you council member for the obvious password. Thought Tyler.
The container disappeared and the liquid was falling on the ground. The slender woman fell on Tyler's back. Her muscles were weak and haven't been used in seven years. She was trying to say something. But her voice was cracking. 'Let me help you. Mind link,' said Tyler.
She felt the minds of her little brother and daughter in her head. 'Little brother it is really you. Can I really hope that it is you? It is so good to see you,' said the slender woman in her head.
'Everything for our dear sister and mother Rose.'
She couldn't believe it. They were really there. How long? How long were they separated? How long had she been stuck in that monstrous container? Suffering over and over again with her own memories. No contact, no light, no normal feeding. Her reaction was slow and everything in her body was hurting. She looked at the little girl, knowing that it was her daughter. She had grown so much…grown so much without her. It hurt, why….why must their family always suffer. Guilt came over her. It took her some time before she noticed the state of her little brother's arm.
'What happened with your arm?' Tyler looked at his arm what had been blast by Laxus, before he was able to take control him. 'Happened in a fight.'
'Here let me help you.' Her arm was shaking by the sudden move in seven years. When she was finally able to touch the dead arm of Tyler, a dark magic circle appeared. Rose had missed that feeling for years. She had almost forgotten how it felt. The use of her magic. Her magic that disgusted people, her magic that everyone feared. It had taken so much things from her, but in return it had given her so much more.
Tyler felt his sister magic in his dead arm. New nerves were made and muscles were linked again. The arm stayed dead but with the little magic of Rose, he was able to move and use it again. At first only his thumb was moving, but after some practice, he had his control back over his arm.
'Mommy Mommy.' The little girl cried while giving her mother a hug. 'I have missed you.' Tears were falling of the little girl's face. The mother smiled. 'I have missed you two. I was so afraid that our friend wasn't able to find you. Were you a good girl in all those years? From now one we will always be together.'
Tyler clenched his fist together, knowing already the truth about what had really happened. This wasn't the time to tell her. Not now!
'Yeah, I even made new friends. Mr. Chaply and Mrs. Lilly don't be shy. I want you to meet my Mommie.'
The two Volcans walked a bit towards the slender woman and knelt down. Rose gasped at the side of the new friends from her daughter and a little tear came in the side of her eye. 'They are wonderful! They looked almost the same as my first friends. I'm so proud of you,' thought Rose towards her daughter while looking at the nonhuman friends.
'I knew you would love them!' said Melanie while smiling towards her metal friends.
'Where is your Papa?' asked Rose while looking around to find her husband.
'Uncle Tyler said that we would look for Papa, after we had found Mommy.'
'So let's return towards the ship and look for your husband. Are you coming to, Melanie?' Asked Tyler, while carrying Rose towards the ship.
'Hiiiii.'
The Volcans were turning small again and followed their master towards the ship.
