Arcin; We got this done but we still have to next chapter.
Days; Hey I'm not the worst person to work with.
Arcin; That's not what I mean, and you know it.
Days; Yeah alright but it's not like its going to be impossible.
Zara; You two really need to plan better.
Arcin & Days; Be quiet!
Zara; Arcin doesn't own Fairy Tail or its character. She only owns her own characters. On to chapter 9.

Chapter 9
(Zara's POV)
It was early the next morning I got changed put my shoes put my Swords at my side then my cloak on hood over my head, then backpack over my shoulder. I left the cave then went to the town.
I was walking through the town it was very quite. 'I have to get to the train station then I can take the train out of here!' I exclaimed. My pistols were on my thighs in case something happened.
I bought a ticket with the money I got from the few job's I did with Loki. I sat at plat form waiting for my train, tapping my foot to my music. I kept my music player I really hate long boring train rides and not doing at lest something.
The train wasn't going to be ready until 5-6 am I have about an hour. 'What am I going to do for the next hour… maybe I can get some money by singing! I remember that someone did that before in on of my travels! But I need to change my appearance… I can't let myself be known or recognized.' I groaned.
I used a spell to change my eye, hair, and skin colour. I change my eye's to a sliver colour, my hair was emerald green, and my skin a darker tan colour. I took off my weapon's and went to the wall bringing my things with me I looked at the plat form and got a hat out of my bag put a wight in it then got myself ready.
Dangerous to know- Hilary Duff
Some secrets need to be kept
Some stories should never be told
Some reasons shouldn't be understood
They just turn your blood cold
Who needs all the answer?
Who takes all the chances?
Who said the truth's gonna save you?
When the truth can be dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's alright to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Sat what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know
It was a law onto myself
When you found me out on my own
Together nothing was sacred
Together we where alone
Who needs all the questions?
Who lost their direction?
Who said a lie's gonna break you?
When a lie could be dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's alright to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Sat what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous

Ignorance is bliss
You're safe when you resist
There's no safety in a kiss like this
It's dangerous
So kiss me
Kiss me

I finished and saw a lot of people where here now I saw my hat and picked it up. They put some money in hat and left I saw I had quite a lot, so I went through the money. 'I hope that enough money for my next train ride' I sighed. I put the money in my bag and saw a girl come over to me.
"Hey what's up little one?" I asked. "Could you sing again?" she asked, I bit my lip not sure what to say than thought of something.
"I don't have a problem with that but… I'm not to sure if anyone else would want to listen to me sing again." I told her with a sweet grin it seemed that she didn't like waiting for long times either.
They didn't care so I sung until my train came. "Bye!" I laughed stepping on the train waving to the young girl.
I looked for my seat then sat down putting my bag on my right side, my guns on my thigh again, with swords on my side I put the rest of my money in my bag, then tied my bag to me an lock my bag putting the keys in my bra... I wasn't born yesterday, as if I'd let anyone get that close but in case!
I closed my eye's and heard noise it sounded like a human scream. My ears twitched, I sat up put my bag under my seat it was locked so you can't even put you hand inside but I put a little spell in case and tied it to the seat. when I tried to leave I fell on my face and my leg hurt.
'What the… shoot I forgot to untied the bag from my leg!' I groaned at my one ignorance, quickly untied my leg from my bag. My hood stayed over my head and I quickly put my mask on. I saw a man on the ground, rushed over to him.
"Sir what's going on?" I asked helping him up noticing the blood the came out from a wound he got. 'He's injured, looks like a cut wound. Maybe a gun shot.' I muttered. "Someone's looting the rich passengers." he answered I gave him a herb to help the pain after covering his wound.
"I'll take care of it make sure that the other passengers stay safe," I exclaimed standing up. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "Put'm in their place." I answered takin' my guns out. "I the door locked?" I asked.
"I'm not sure but try have a weapon like yours too they will probably use hostages." he told me, I nodded. 'He didn't now what this weapon is… is in not something that's from this world? If so their either from another dimension or found the and learned how to us it.' I muttered, I couldn't open the door so I forced I open... by kicking it in! I held my guns an checked side to side, I nodded and put my ear to the door.
I busted the next door open. "Drop your weapons!" I growled, pointing my guns side-to-side I looked around. I was closer but it still wast the right room, this one I found some people with tape on their mouth tied up.
"Where are the robbers?" I asked after I ripped the tape off. "That way probably two rooms down. That's where the rest of us are." he answered, I pulled a dagger then cut the ropes. "Get anyone else from this point back to the normal rooms." I told them.
I then ran to the next room I then started to hear guns. I ran right to the next room. "Drop your weapons!" I yelled, I started to feel that they were firing at me, so I shot back.
I finish it in a hour, I tied them up tight. "Where did you get these?" I asked. "I found them, a few weeks ago." he answered. I picked up the guns then go rid of their weapons. "Watch them and give them to the law enforces at the next stop." I told one of the people that worked on the train. I put my guns away then walked back to my seat when no one was around I took off my mask and continued on to my seat. I pulled a small thing of breakfast out of my bag, it wasn't much.
I looked at my clock... 10am. 'I'll be at my stop in one more hour.' I sighed, I touched my hoop earring with the heart on it and fiddled with it. 'I wonder how things are over back there... I guess I've started to feel like apart of their family I guess… That's why I couldn't let them get hurt'. I chuckled.
(No One's POV)
Back at fairy tail
The guild was it's normal nosy self, 'I don't blame them to not notice her gone, she was a shy quiet girl around here, but a sweet one at that, didn't make a scene of herself like the others, but wasn't officially apart of the guild.' Makarov sighed. Looking at the rowdy guild hall, another drinking contest, and brawl was going on.
The door bust open two people ran in holding Zara's gear and crutches. "Mira you wouldn't happen to know where Zara is do you?" Aria questioned Mira, strain was in her voice. "No why?" she asked.
"She's missing we haven't seen her since yesterday." Leaf sighed. "Wait how could she leave?" Jet asked Leaf. "It's not hard. For where we're staying." Aria answered. "But what about her foot it's sprained?" Levy asked. "It's probably healed by now. So she's able to walk on it now." Aria exhaled shapely angered that this happened, and that her master was missing.
"She can survive, she can hunt, and fight, so we now that she won't die..." Leaf muttered. "Than why are you worried?" Makarov asked "She left this!" Leaf exclaimed holding up the d-gear. "What's that?" Mira asked.
"I-it her well... She must keep it on here at all times, it gives her a power boost to be on par with her strongest enemies really, it stores all her item, tell her navigation... And it was the only way that we could find her, and call her! She could be anywhere. She knows that she's not suppose to leave this, and if its left by its owner something wrong, and she must be in trouble or some worse! What worse is she could be in trouble at any time..." Aria mumbled.
"So she could survive without it... Right?" Mira asked. "For us sometime it means life or death, and who or what ever reason they wanted her to leave it knows that it means that, for us." Leaf exclaimed. "What! Why does that mean life or death?!" Levy asked seeing hoe small it is. "Her strongest armour, and most of her weapons are in the storage, meaning she'll have no access to it when in need… If she's attacked by are main enemy like a elemental head she'll be in trouble she. We won't be able to insure that she'll live, are enemies kill the problem... Which is us..." Aria sighed.
"We're back!" Natsu yelled, Team Natsu came into the guild hall seeing the grime expression an air in the room. "Lucy I have a letter for you." Mira exclaimed "Really?!" Leaf gasped not expiating to get a letter here. "Here you go." she told her handing her the letter from Zara. "Zara? Why did she leave me a letter? Where is she any ways?" Lucy asked. "Don't know we haven't seen her since yesterday." Aria moaned.
"She left you that note after she came back from her walk actually she told me to tell you its important." Mira told her. "Really!? I wonder why?" Lucy muttered. "So do you now how long she's going to be gone for?" Natsu asked Leaf. "We don't know... But her reason is pretty bad to leave a lot of her things, my guess something happened yesterday, out of the usual... My guess when she was alone and that's 2 different time frames yesterday." Aria exclaimed. "What about when he yelled at her?" Erza asked.
"No! She's stronger than most in those kind of things, and it not the first time either, I'm kinda her father figure now so it happened quiet often since she risky with her life and all… She probably knew that something going to happen if she didn't leave… For reasons unknown. But things like that she wouldn't leave... It's only happened 2 other times before where she's disappeared. But I don't think those could be the reason this time that she left… it's probably something really bad to make her not try, and go against it… and the person who threatened her may have been very strong." Aria told them.
"You three are really secretive I don't get why you can't tell us what's going on really." Gray huffed crossing his arm. "Gray! You clothes." Cana puffed. "Damn it!" he yelled. "But he's right you are secretive, there's so many questions about you ever since you came here! Why?" Cana exclaimed.
"We have to, there's dangers we can't handle yet that they would get to us through are allies, friends, family... Anything that could be are weak point! We face dangers terrible, deadly, endless, bloodshed... Death... Darkness... Fear, fate, suffering, a future that must be avoided! We can not allow people that can not fight against this... I've seen millions of people... Allies... Team mates... Lovers... Children... Friends... Family all killed... Taken! Some have seen almost all of those things like myself… Zara has, its crushing, since it could have been prevented." Leaf choked out.
(Lucy's POV)
I went home and decided to read Zara's letter that was very odd it told me information that I wanted to know but why put it in a note.
'Wait! Before I left she told me something about codes hidden inside notes she writes as well has other to hide a bidding massage!' I exclaimed, I quickly grabbed my pen and paper an started to work with the codes she told me about.
I found the code when it made a sentence that made sense this is what it said.
To Lucy
Lucy I must leave, I am being threatened. If I don't do what the man what's he will do something that I can not say. I am sorry that I am putting this on you but don't tell anyone what the note really says! Including Aria, and Leaf this is something that I must do, tell no one, since I am writing in code I can tell one other person I'm think to tell the master of Fairy Tail. I know it's odd but I know that he will not tell if I ask him to. Lucy I will tell you this I have trouble with friends, but if I am telling you this, it tell you I trust you… I would like Natsu to know but I have heard about the things he has done in the past, and how he feels about his friends, but I can not allow anyone to follow me. I will write this if you read about something odd that happened somewhere I was likely there. I have to keep everyone safe… please, please, please don't tell or talk about it except with Makarov I was allowed only to tell one person and I found a easy loop-hole. Be careful Lucy, the man after me maybe watching your guild! I never wanted to put you guys in harms way… but I guess that's what I get. Please Lucy stay safe, that man if he finds out that two people know, it's game over for someone.
Zara
That was the code behind the message. "I can't believe this! Oh my Mavis! P-poor, Zara..." I gasped I couldn't believe the reason she had to leave. "Luce what are you looking at?" Natsu asked.
"Eeep! Natsu can't you use the door for once instead of the window" I yelled hiding the decoded message. "Can you believe that Zara up an left with, not one trace Lucy?!" Happy exclaimed. "She's and expert at this didn't you here was her master and dog said, she's excels at things like this go you wouldn't likely find anything she didn't want to be found out." I sighed.
"Yeah but we should still try." Natsu huffed. "Don't you think I'd like to find her too, I'm sad that she left but maybe she had good reason! I don't mean there was a problem with us but she could be I don't know being threaten... That is possible." I breathed, hoping he caught on what I was saying which which he didn't.
(Zara's POV)
I got off the train in a town I bought a few item's before taking off again I fixed my weapons with my skills in blacksmithing, straighten cloak, and bag, then went on the trail. 'I wonder if I'll ever going to find somewhere that I and others can be safe?' I muttered. I took a step out of town and started to walk to the forest.
It was late I was walking through a forest. I started to him a little tune to myself.
Fearless- Olivia holt
I'm stuck in you head
I'm back from the dead
Gotcha running scarred
I'm fearless
I'm calling you out
I'm take you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless
I'm fearless
But I was cut off when I tripped and scrapped up my leg. "Ow. I guess I'll stay here for the night." I huffed.
I then started to make a fire, and got my sleeping bag out. I quickly put up a spell to protect me till a few minutes after I wake up. I lied on the ground looking at the sky. "Good night... Please make sure I don't get hurt as I sleep." I prayed.
I woke up a little after dawn ate some of the goods that I bought in town. I got ready to go and was taking my time to be ready. I put my weapons on and cloak over me I packed my bag.
"Time to go, I'll go to the next town get a few things maybe get a paper, maybe I'll sing to get some money." I muttered under my breath.
I got up and started to walk again through the forest. But all of a sudden I was attacked. "What the heck!" I yowled, my left arm was between my shoulder blades, an they grabbed my bag. "Give us your money" a girl growled close to my ear. "I don't have any." I muttered she pulled my arm farther up. "I'll break your arm." she warned.
"Who are you! Why are you doing this to a lone traveller." I howled. "We're apart of a dark guild stupid!" the girl laughed I raised an eyebrow hearing that..
"A lone traveller means we can get things easier from them. Even if it is less." a man laughed. I started to smirk it seem they noticed my smirk. "What are you happy about?!" one yelled at me. "I'm not deaf!" I growled.
"Why are you smiling?!" he growled grabbing my neck. "That you think I won't fight back." I laughed grabbing his arm with my right arm, tarring his hand from my neck, and throw him into a tree.
"Get her!" the girl yelled. "Not going to happen." I laughed pulling out my swords. I had fire form around one of my swords, coming off my hand, and light on the other sword. "She's a mage!" one screeched and they started to use there magic as well.
I clashed swords but it wasn't to hard they were not the best sword fighters, I did fight with magic and hand-to-hand with was not a easy but it still didn't take that long. I pick up my bag making sure I had all my things. I made sure to leave before the woke up.
I got to the next town I bought a newspaper I didn't expect that me sing in a train station would be news worthy, apparently I was wrong! Headline for the article said, mystery girl sings for people waiting for early morning train.
It talked about how she sang for them until her train, how she sang one song for a few bucks then stopped. But started once again after a little kid asked if she would.
That was the gist of it, the next one was about the train robbery that was stopped from a female wearing a mask who left when the train crew got it under control leaving after saying "tie them up then give them to law officials." is what she told one of the personal of the train. On the front page it was about Fairy Tail.
I then went to a place were it seem a few people went by. I put my things down a quickly then got ready.
I started to sing one of the songs I was good at. Not paying attention to the people that were there, I kept my eye's closed.
I opened my eye's a little surprised how many people were here. "Your the mystery singer that sung at the Magnolia Town train station right?" I heard one man asked I nodded. "Why are you here, don't you have a better place to sing?" a women asked, I did not hear anger nor annoyance just curiosity was in her voice. "No I'm a traveller... Just hopping to make a few jewels by sing and to brighten up people's day." I answered.
"Could you do a official singing for us sometime please?" a boy asked. "I-I don't know maybe... I won't bother me is just need somewhere to go... Then have a way for people to hear about it. And a few people to help me get things set up too… I've put on performances before." I muttered. "I know somewhere miss! If you don't mind to come with me." a man told me holding his hand out, I took his hand, then he took my to a auditorium. "Would this be good enough to preform at lest once for people?" he asked.
I looked at the building tilting my head. "Hum... Yes this will suffice. But I still need some workers... What can I do it's impossible to get this done by myself, there's way to much to be done even with my own magic." I muttered. "Your a mage?!" a man with a camera exclaimed.
"Yes! Singing isn't my only talent! But I only use it when I see someone that needs help on when I'm traveling on foot to and from towns... I try to stay simple." I answered. "With the help we can ask some magic guilds in the area to help out, and I don't mind helping to much it is my job any ways." another man exclaimed.
"Okay I did save up money and the money you guys just gave me I'll use that to pay you for the help... Thank you very much! I will do my very best to perform my greatest performance for all the help you give me to get ready!" I exclaimed.
"I'm a reporter so will you give a quote out to people... Oh and tell us your name?" he asked. 'Hum I can't use my real name or code since Aria and Leaf know it... Wait I can use name in other languages! I'll use names that means mystery!' I exclaimed.
"You can call me Dagrun." I told them. He took my picture my hood stayed down the whole time I talked to them. "I'll get started... Can some actually help me count my jewels actually to make sure I'll have enough?" I asked. "Are you not from Fiore?" someone asked.
"No and where I'm from has different well kind of payment method, I often lose count but I really want to make sure everyone can get enough money for everyone tat helps me, and someone that knows the normal amount of jewels would be give to the people who help in a job like this. I don't like cheating people out of money so I want this to go right so please could someone please help me." I pleaded giving cute grin and pleading eyes.
"How are you so good at that?!" one person muttered. "After living with a my cousins, which I have around 10 of them for a few years you learn some tricks." I giggled. "Ugh! I'll help." one girl sighed. "Thank you! You guys do know I would have payed you for helping me right?" I asked.
I went in with the girl into the auditorium. We sat on stage an I put out all the money I had. "Hum let's see... Looking at this you have around 400, 000 to 800, 000 jewels. First we should find out the kind of jobs that will be needed to do these jobs... I'll help you to find what would be the best guilds to send the request to and we can find out how we can split it, if your short and need to get some more money, and what price it would be good to put the job at for the amount of money you have." she told me.
"Right! Umm... We'll need help setting up the stage, the sound systems, lighting, setting, costumes, advertising, constriction I'm sure there are things we'll need to make. I have instruments... I just got to call a friend, oh tuning is important, and maybe some special effects." I told her. "Ok then since we have a few if those thing in the storage I want you to show me how we're gong to make it look." she asked I nodded and pulled out my journal.
I drew what it should look like. "Here... I'll provide snacks and things like that, so we should put that in the budget as well." I told her. "Okay we need for you to get about probably around... 1, 200, 000 more jewels. The fastest way is to take some jobs for mages, and a job. If you get good jobs we could get enough money by two days, if you have two job, and take around 5 mage jobs, starting today." she told me.
"Okay! I'll do that I want to make sure it get it ready... I'll get my, two friends over here, they can help me out to get the amount we need... Please tell the man that said would help that we will be delayed by a day or too... Oh and the reporters we don't want them to send out things that are my even ready yet." I told her. "I promise to pay you after all this." I exclaimed as she left. I went to another area to 'call' my friends.
"Sinetmn, Tasinmin... I need your help please come out and add me in this task." I exclaimed. There was a waver in the air, and they appeared. "I greatly need your help I need to make 1, 200, 000 jewels to be able to pay for the concert I'm putting on I need you help to get the funds please... And will you please help with the concert too I am performing after singing a couple times in public they want me to preform your the only ones I can turn to you at the spirt that live in my cursed/divine weapons." I exclaimed bowing. "Of course I'll help your my master." Tasinmin told me. "I will… not like I have a choice." Sinetmn muttered.
"Good! Tasinmin, you and Sinetmn will take mage jobs us together with are one kind of magic. Also don't us your real name at any time here Tasinmin you us the name Lyric, Sinetmn us the name Shade. On your first mage job since we'll have to do more than one you'll have to find out how to actually do a job first." I told them.
"We can do it by are-self we saw what you did your first time." she told me. "Are you sure?" I asked. "We're fine. Now let's get the money we need." Sinetmn exclaimed, as he started to push me and Tasinmin out.
(No One's POV)
By this time everyone in Fairy Tail has seen today's newspaper that Zara was apart of some still reading it, well Lucy was talking to the master.
"Master you know why she left." Lucy muttered, He nodded and asked. "How do you?" he asked. She pull at little bit of the note out and he understood how she knew. "Do you think it's her in the newspaper?" he asked. "That or she was in the area of there... Apparently newspaper people love that girl." Lucy told him.
"I wonder what's she going to do?" Lucy sighed. "Who knows but we should be careful." he told her. She nodded her head in agreement then left his office. "Natsu what are we going to do today?" Lucy asked him. "We'll take a job." he answered.
Lucy, and Happy chose the job, and they left the guild was it's normal self. Leaf and Aria came in everyone once and awhile take a mission, leave, stay for a few minutes then leave. They miss there friend but they know all they can do is wait, for their friend to come back.
(Zara's POV)
It was 2 days later and we got the money need and more for the performance. I had Shade and Lyric change there appearance from Sinetmn, and Tasinmin to Shade and Lyric.
Tasinmin, has silver pointed eyes, pointed teeth, sharp nails, caramel hair in a braid on her right shoulder down to her chest, she had a silver tiara that the point is to the ground, and right in the middle it had a magic amber coloured gem in it. Her ears pointed with hoop earrings both made of magic gold and a couple magic gems in it. She as a diamond shape necklace made of gold and silver magic metal. She had a sleeveless top light blue, and a long skirt light purple, with high heels black. She had a two handed sword on her back, a whip on her side, and small knife on her two thighs one on each thigh.
Lyric, had violet eyes, and light orange a little longer then shoulder length. Teeth, ear, and nails where not as sharp and pointed. She had a pink t-shirt, green shorts, and black runners. The only weapons she had where hidden throwing knifes, and knifes.
Sinetmn, yellow eyes, and black short hair messy hair. A black hoop earring his left ear, his ears are pointed. Pointed teeth, and sharp nails. He wore a necklace that had a small knife. He wore a long sleeve shirt that went to the elbow it was grey colour, with light grey pants, and brown sandals. He had a assassin blades, spear, axe, kama knifes, and knifes and daggers hidden on him.
Shade, had grey eyes, blue short wavy hair. Normal teeth, and nails. He wore a black lose t-shirt, lose red paints, black gloves, and blood red runners. There only weapons were hidden weapons which was quiet a few.
"Good job at getting the money know we can split up them obey for the request. We know the jobs an I've no arrowhead it down to around 5 guilds that have the required skills, uses, or magic the well need." the girl whose name I still don't know told me.
"What 5 guild's?" I asked. "A small guild not to famous of the name Cait Shelter it has very good clothing designers, well need people that have experience making clothing so they can make a few costumes that I'll need.
Next its' the guild Quatro Cerberus said to be very energetic, they would be great at getting advertisement.
I think the guild Lamia Scale maybe helpful with the go at this. I heard that there's a couple people that has helped in set making before their experience would be welcomed. there's also been roomers they also help with quick costume changes that actors do at some times changes, make up, and set changes quite a few times getting them would give us experienced members of props! But their only roomers so it may not be true but we should look into in any ways.
Another choice should be Blue Pegasus, they have a mage that use magic archive, we could get them to work the sound systems', mic, lighting, and such.
Then finally I think we should put a request to... Fairy Tail! It popular, they have strong hard works that get the job done. They'd be a great help!" she told me.
"Yes… good idea well put the request out to those guilds, don't put the fact that other guild will be helping, but put the reward as what." I asked. "In a job like this it's around a total maximum of 40, 000 per person, to 15, 000 per person" she told me (Just put in random numbers).
"Okay I'll put 80, 000 jewels and the word per person and plus free tickets delivered by me to the guild small... It can hold a lot of people right?" I asked.
"Yeah this thing could put Fiore's capital's entire population there's enough room for the guilds and the others, and it not just one night it's a total of 4 night your performing. There's going to be a lot we have the paper going out to all over Fiore, and if people hear that the first night was popular people will come again, as well as new people." she told me.
"How much for tickets?" I asked. "About 1, 500 jewels to the max price of 5, 000 for the best seats," she told me.
"Good put that out I got over 2 million jewel so I can pay for them I also got enough to get snacks for them to! Oh and don't forget to put it's a job that will that about a week or so and rooms will be provided! I'll be out on a job to make more to make sure I'll have a enough for the accommodations... Sorry also write for us to be told in advance how many are coming since we need to get there rooms... And tell the man we'll be starting as soon as we got the reply from the guilds." I told her. "I'm defiantly making my money's worth." she huffed.
"You got are head set microphones, and are instruments?" I asked Shade. "Yes it's too easy getting things from your storage if you yourself is one of your weapon's! But yes I have them... I put them in are space In Lyric's room since she doesn't trust me with then even though I'm acutely getting excited about this now." he exclaimed I laughed as I picked a job.
