Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter! Hope you enjoy and please make sure to review!

Aiden smiled remembering her. "You could say my adopted sister but she just called herself that. She was from the town I told you about before I joined. That event still haunts me, crushing me with guilt."

"It wasn't your fault Aiden. You weren't there to stop it."

Aiden's smile faded. "Well that was a lie. I was there. I was scared to do anything so I fled. But I came back after deciding to return and they were all dead. If only... If only I wasn't a coward I would've been able to save them..."

"Aiden... Aiden that's the past! This is why we created this guild!" Meredy said encouraging Aiden.

"That's right... Well thanks Meredy! I'm gonna sleep now. Thanks again Meredy."

"I might as well go to sleep too. Goodnight Aiden!"

*MORNING*

"Morning everybody!" Meredy said stretching.

"Morning." Jellal replied.

"Meredy do you want some eggs?" Ultear asked.

"Sure. Is Aiden still sleeping?"

"Yea he's in the tent snoring."

"Oh." Meredy said giggling.

"Morning guys." Aiden said yawning.

"Morning Aiden."

"Can we eat? I'm hungry..." Aiden said rubbing his stomach.

"Yea I finished the eggs and bacon." Ultear said.

"BACOOON?! I LOVE BACON!" Aiden yelled.

"CHILL AIDEN WE KNOW YOU DO!" Jellal shouted back. The four of them sat down and ate. As usual Aiden harassed the bacon and everyone was laughing. The laughter was disturbed with the bush rustling.

"There's something in the bush." Jellal said. A figure came out of the bush then fell to the ground.

"It's a girl!" Meredy exclaimed.

Aiden ran over to the girl,"Oi are you ok?"

"A-Aiden oni-chan..."

Aiden was wide-eyed in shock. "C-Claire... How... Why are you here?!"

"I came to find you... The other children survived like me..." Claire said passing out.

"Aiden who is that?" Meredy asked.

"She's that girl I was telling you last night."

"Really?"

"Yea. No mistaking it."

"But how did they survive?" asked Ultear.

"..."

"She's awake!" yelled Meredy.

"Claire how do you feel?" asked Aiden.

"Oni-chan..." Claire cried and hugged Aiden. "I finally found you..."

"Claire... Tell us what happened."

"Ok... When we were attacked by the Rune Knights, we were injured badly. It seems that they had a bit of mercy to the children. This woman helped us and she tended our injuries. Her name is Yukino. But one day she changed. Her warmth was now cold and bitter. She turned us into slaves. Two days ago I escaped somehow but I was attacked by the wizards she hired. I hid and they didn't find me and luckily I found you. We all miss you oni-san."

Aiden smiled. "You've gotten taller and more beautiful." Claire blushed.

"Aiden." Jellal said.

"Yea?"

"We should go help. This is why we created this guild."

"Yea!" Meredy said.

"I think so too." Ultear said.

"Thanks guys." Aiden said smiling. "Claire lead the way."

"Ok follow me." They walked and walked only stopping to eat. They made it to where the kids are being held in two days. "This is the place."

"How much wizards did she hire?" Jellal asked.

"Only 3 but they're strong."

"Well I'm strong too remember?" Aiden asked. Claire nodded. "My friends are strong as well!"

"So how are we gonna attack?" Aiden asked.

"We attack them head on. True Heavenly Body Magic: Sema!" Jellal shouted.

"Wait Jellal! That attack might hit the children as well!" Meredy pointed out.

"Yea that's true. We can't risk it Jellal." Ultear said.

"Fine fine." Then they heard a big explosion followed by smoke.

Aiden... They all thought.

"SHOW YOURSELF YUKINO!" Aiden yelled. "Huh? My body... It won't move!"

"Jeez you sure are a loud one aren't you?"

"We should bite him to death boss!"

"No Kagetora. We should let Mistress decide what his fate shall be."

"WHO ARE YOU GUYS?!" Aiden asked.

"I'm Kagetora." A tall muscular guy said.

"I'm Shinryu." A long armed guy said.

"I'm Ryuuji. The boss." Dark aura was being emitted from Ryuuji.

"Where are you taking me?!"

"We're taking you to Mistress."

"Not so fast!" Claire shouted.

"Claire run away!"

"I won't leave you oni-chan!"

"It's the girl who escaped a few days ago!" Yelled Kagetora.

"Well we'll be taking both of you to mistress." Ryuuji stated.

"Dammit only if I could move my body..."

"It's Aiden and Claire!" Meredy whispered hidden in the bushes.

"We should follow them to find where Yukino is." Jellal said.

"Good idea." Ultear said. The trio followed them until they reached a big building.

"That must be where Yukino lives." They waited for Ryuuji and his group to enter the building. They quickly followed them. Ryuuji and the others enter a room and Jellal signals to stop.

"Mistress we have brought you gifts." They heard Ryuuji say.

"Hmm. I never expected to see you alive, Claire."

"Yukino-san! Please wake up! What happened to you?"

"Oh child what are you saying? I've never been more awake!"

"Cut the crap!" Aiden yelled. "Where are the other children?!"

"Oh they're in the fields working for me."

"You bastard!"

"That's not a way to talk to a lady mister."

"You're not a lady! You're a monster!"

"What the hell did you say to me?! Ryuuji put them both in the dungeon!"

"Yes ma'am."

"Hold it." Jellal said standing in the doorway. "You're not taking them anywhere."

"Come and take them then."

"Meteor!" Jellal yelled grabbing onto Ryuuji smashing him through the wall bringing Ryuuji outside.

"Ryuuji!" Kagetora yelled.

"You should be more worried about yourself!" An orb smashed into Kagetora's face knocking him down.

"That hurt." He said looking up at the time mage.

"Infinite Sphere." An orb hit Kagetora's stomach and before he knew it, numerous orbs pummeled him in every direction.

Shinryu was watching Kagetora getting hit but then he felt pain too. He looked on his wrist and saw pink wrapped around it. He felt pain coming from everywhere and couldn't figure out why.

"You are now linked with your friend Kagetora."

Shinryu looked behind him and saw a pink haired girl standing. "What have you done?" He asked in pain.

"Just as I said, you are experiencing the pain your friend Kagetora is in."

"I don't feel any pain." Shinryu said. Meredy felt that something was off. Then she noticed someone was behind her. Shinryu was behind her. "I don't know what pain is." Shinryu said. Shinryu attacked Meredy with his long arms. They were like a whip.

"Hey Miss." Kagetora said. "Can you stop now? It tickles."

"You're just bluffing." Ultear said. But she knew he wasn't. If he was, he was putting on the best poker face she has ever seen.

"Well looks like it's my turn to strike. Steel type!" Kagetora said turning his body into steel.

Back at Aiden he was pursuing the fleeing Yukino.

"Come back!" Aiden yelled.

"In your dreams." She replied.

"Aura Dragon's: Roar!" He said singing her hair.

"My hair! You've done it now brat!" Yukino yelled. She changed. She was a young woman and then she was a giant ugly acid breathing snake.

"HO-LY-SHIT." Aiden said shocked. Yukino lunged at him. Aiden jumped in time but her tail hit him sending him crashing into the trees. "D-damn..." Aiden said lying on top of broken trees.

"Acid breath!" Yukino said as she spat acid at Aiden. Aiden had to react fast or nothing would be left of him. Aiden was jumping all over the place but was in great pain.

How am I gonna beat her? Aiden asked himself.

"Why won't you attack me boy?" Yukino asked. Aiden didn't say anything. He was only thinking that he was gonna die and he regretted not finding Aurora.

Jellal and Ryuuji were exchanging attacks and it was all a blur to any spectators.

"Hey blue you're pretty good." Ryuuji said.

"Thanks but the name is not blue." Jellal replied. At the same time, Meredy and Ultear flew out of the building very badly injured.

"Heh weak." Kagetora said with a smirk.

"Too bad I couldn't play with her more." Shinryu said.

"Meredy! Ultear!" Jellal said running to them.

"Sorry Jellal..." Ultear said. Jellal was angry. He looked up at his opponents with his eyes filled with rage.

"True Heavenly Body Magic: Sema!" Jellal yelled summoning a meteor crashing down on his opponents. The attack caused a huge explosion and the mansion was gone along with everyone else.

Aiden and Yukino heard the explosion far out into the distance. "Shit isn't that where Jellal and the others are?!" Aiden exclaimed.

"MY HOUSE!" Yukino screamed slithering to where her house was. Aiden quickly followed. When they reached to where the house used to be, Aiden fell on his knees. He was wide-eyed in horror and he hadn't noticed that he was crying.

Jellal... Meredy... Ultear... Aiden said to himself. "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!" Aiden shouted. Yukino turned back to her human form also shocked.

"My beautiful house!" She shouted. Turning back to Aiden she turned into her snake form and attacked him. "Your friends ruined my house so you will pay!" She whipped her tail at Aiden but Aiden stopped her tail with his hands.

"You only care about your house huh... Well my friends were caught up in that explosion and now... AND NOW THEY'RE GONE!" Aiden shouted as his blue aura danced around him. Scales appeared all over Aiden. "Thanks for the meal." He said. Aiden ate the remaining bad aura around the area left by Ryuuji. He punched Yukino but kept pulling her tail back to keep punching her more. She was already unconscious from the first punch but he didn't care. He only wanted to beat the one who caused this. If it wasn't for her, they wouldn't be gone! Aiden thought.

"Aiden oni-san stop!"

He heard a bunch of people say. He turned around and saw all the kids he spent time with 5 years ago.

"Everyone..." He said softly.

"Aiden oni-san look!"

He saw Jellal, Meredy and Ultear all unconscious.

"But how?!" He asked.

"They were all unconscious near the crater." Claire said. "Jellal-san took all the bad magicians out."

"Ouch I feel sore all over." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

"Yukino-san you're back to normal!" They all shouted running up to her crying and hugging her.

"Now, now." She said smiling. "I'm sorry for causing trouble. Thank you Aiden for waking me up."

"No problem." Aiden saw evil aura flow out of Yukino and ate it. This must've been causing everything he thought. He heard groans as he looked at his three guild mates.

"Bring them to the other mansion." Yukino said.

"Wait you had another one?! Why were you so mad that this one got blown up?" Aiden asked.

"This was my favorite one..." Yukino said. Aiden sighed. "Well sorry for the trouble Aiden now let's go tend to your friends injuries. And yours." A few days past as they stayed there to rest and heal. They left after they fully recovered.

"Thank you so much Yukino-san!" Meredy said.

"It's the least I can do for causing all this trouble."

"We'll be on our way." Jellal said.

"Meredy nee-san please take care of our Aiden." Claire whispered.

"H-huh what do you mean?" Meredy said blushing.

"You know what I mean!" Claire said smiling.

"OI MEREDY WE'RE GOING!" Aiden yelled.

"Coming!" Meredy yelled back. Crime Sorcière waved goodbye as they disappeared into the horizon.
