The Black Dragon Slayer of the Apocalypse
Chapter 10
The main entrance of Fairy Tail
"I want you" Ultear grabbed Haruhi's hair and pulled out a few strands.
Ultear: This will be easier than I thought.
"OWW! What the hell is wrong with you?" Haruhi shouted stepping back from Ultear.
Ultear then removed a vial in her bag. People in the guild rose and stood beside Haruhi.
"What do you want with my sister's hair?" Natsu forced Haruhi to stand behind him.
"Soon she won't be your sister anymore." Ultear put on a mask and smashed the vial in the guild, immediately a dark smoke had engulfed the entire guild hall.
One by one the members of fairy tail dropped like flies. Everyone, except Ultear and Haruhi.
"You're coming with me." She got out her crystal ball that was in her bag.
"FLASHFORWARD" Everything had taken Haruhi by surprise. She hadn't been allowed to go on any missions because of her training so she had no battle experience. She fell without a fight. Ultear called forth one of her men and ordered him to take Haruhi to the ship.
"Men go in there and remove all traces of Haruhi. You don't have much time the sleeping potion we added in the vial won't last long. Leave anything and I'll personally give you a painful death."
Grimoire Hearts men quickly went and stormed the hall.
"I expected at least one good fight." She looked at Gray and stood on his face. "My mother's pupil is pathetic."
Ultear turned her back and headed into the city. "Don't forget to get rid of everything in their houses too. Now I should get back to the ship ready for the last attack."
Once Ultear had arrived on the ship she gave the signal. Next thing you know the entire guild was gassed.
It took around five minutes for the members to wake up. Natsu was the first on his feet. "WHAT DO YOU…" He forgot what was going on. He stumbled but grabbed the wall/
The guild was trashed. Tables were broken. Windows smashed. It was like a hurricane had just gone by and no one even knew. They all got up confused and dazed.
"What's going on my head feels funny." Natsu said. Murmurs crossed the guild agreeing to what he had said.
"A memory wipe was used." The master said as he sat on the beer counter. "It's an advanced spell that takes years to make, its ancient magic and irreversible."
"So master are you saying our memory was wiped? But I still remember everything that's happened apart from how the guild got destroyed" Erza asked.
"I've only heard stories and read it in books, but theoretically this magic can only wipe a person memory of a single thing. So if I were to use the magic on you and made you forget what a chair was, you wouldn't have a single memory of ever seeing a chair, let alone sitting on one. Forgetting our immediate memory will either be a side effect or the fact that the thing we forgot played a major role in the memory." The master explained.
"Then what did we forget?" Gray asked whilst rubbing his face, for some reason it felt sore.
"I don't know the spell was used on me too. It could be anything from a pen to a friend. Absolutely anything." The master's face was filled with sorrow. "I guess the reason the guild is trashed was so that any traces of the memory is completely lost. Most likely your houses will be the same. Go home now; find anything that might to lead to what that memory was it must be important if our enemy made us forget about it." The master ordered.
They searched for clues everyday however it was getting them nowhere. They were concentrating so much on trying to find the memory that they hadn't worked for days. Soon the members of fairy tail needed money and began to work again. Slowly they gave up on the search of the memory, it did nothing but hurt them, financially and mentally. It took a while but after a few months the guild started to work normally. It had gone back to the time before Haruhi joined the guild.
In a single minute everyone she cared about forgot her. Her brother, her friends…
On Grimoire Heart's ship
"Um" Haruhi opened her eyes. "Where am I?"
"Grimoire Hearts ship. You are the guest of honour here. We won't hurt you if you abide our rules."
*End flashback*
"I tried many times to escape but all that did was lead Grimoire Heart to distrust me. They kept me prisoner in a single room that allowed no magic. Years they kept me there. It would drive anyone insane, but I believed if I survived this I would be able to once again see you and I did."
Haruhi smiled at Natsu, but saw how serious his face was then continued. "They would often come to extract my magic and put it into a fire wizard named Zancrow. I believe you met and fought him once."
Natsu kept quiet.
"I was there… on Tenrou Island I mean. That day HE came. I was still a prisoner on the ship then. After Juvia fainted following Zeref, he went aboard Grimoire Heart's ship and killed anyone on it. He sensed my presence somehow and released me. He told me that Acnologia had killed you… He had done it again killed the people I loved most. Zeref saw the potential in me and trained me. He taught me ways to kill Acnologia, that's why even when I was holding back I still caused you a lot of damage. Once I had heard you returned Zeref let me return to meet you."
"(sigh) Why didn't you tell me?"
"You wouldn't have…"
"Don't give me that crap! This was important more than you imagine! I never once forgot about that day Haruhi!" Natsu's eyes were flowing with tears.
"I knew that day I forgot something precious. I fight so much; I go on missions, even when I go looking for Igneel, I always try to find something that could give me a clue to what I was missing." Even though he was buckled down to a chair Haruhi could tell that Natsu was trembling. "Come here" Haruhi bent down and put her ear next to Natsu's mouth.
He whispered one thing and only one "You're still hiding something aren't you?"
