Zeke
Chapter 11
I turned around to see who was yelling!
"Zeke! Oh god. I'm so sorry I completely forgot about you!" Zeke came running towards them.
"That's Zeke?"
"Oh yeah. I never told you much about him did I?"
"DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST BRUSH IT OFF LIKE IT'S FINE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY LUCK! YOU'D BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD REASON FOR LEAVING ME IN THE DUST, PARTNER!"
"Look Zeke I'm sorry but have just been busy and I figured that you'd find me eventually."
"Bro, that won't do this time I need a real reason this time," He looked at Sapphire then back to me. There was a long pause where none of us said anything. Then Zeke suddenly turned his head to Sapphire again.
"HOLY CRAP… YOU'RE TELLING ME WITHOUT TELLING ME THAT WHILE I'VE BEEN WORKING MY ASS OFF TRYING TO FIND YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH ONE OF THE CUTEST GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN. You bastard. But I forgive you if you tell me one thing," Zeke got in real close and whispered.
"Have you hit that yet huh?"
"Zeke why do you ask such a question? And no I haven't. Anyway, Zeke this is Sapphire. Sapphire this is Zeke my exceed partner," Zeke is a greyish black. He looked like a mix of Lily and Lector. On his back was a little metal plate with a small ruby in the middle. On the sides were two holes where something could be attached.
"This might be really personal uh… Zeke but why don't you have any wings?" Sapphire noticed that Zeke didn't fly like all the other exceeds did.
"I'd tell you my deepest secrets baby." Sapphire looked a little shocked at the nickname.
"You see I'm not a normal exceed in that I could never master the technique of sprouting wings. Anyway Jack what have you been up to? Except that," he said and pointed to Sapphire
"The big question is did you get into a guild?"
"Yeah I did."
"Which one, tell me it's a good one please?"
"I joined Fairy tail!" Zeke jaw almost hit the ground.
"YOU JOINED THE BEST GUILD IN FIORE! How much did you have to pay them to get in?"
"Nothing. They were happy to take me in and they are waiting for you to arrive. But where have you been man?"
"I'll explain later. You want me to fly you two to the guildhall?"
"Sure."
"Wait you just said you never learned to sprout wings. How can you fly? Let alone carry the two of us?"
"Let me show you. REQUIP: ANGEL FEATHERS!" Zeke pulled a couple of metallic angel wings out of his pocket dimension and they spawned on his back and attached to the plate on his back in the holes.
"That. Is the coolest thing I have ever seen." Sapphire was clearly impressed. Dammit how was it that everyone could impress her except.
"Hold on a second. REQUIP: PASSENGER SEAT!" a seat appeared and attached itself to his plate.
"Jump on pretty lady," Zeke said. When Sapphire sat down Zeke picked me up as the other exceeds would pick up their partners. Then we were flying to Fairy Tail.
After a while where Sapphire enjoyed the view of the city.
"Calling all passengers. We are about to make our decent please hold on tight," Zeke said in a very formal voice. Sapphire giggled. We landed and Zeke put me down and Sapphire got out of her seat and it disappeared into Zeke's pocket dimension. We walked into the guild. I walked up to the bar.
"Hey Mira! Zeke is finally here."
"Oh how wonderful. But where is he?" she looked around
"I'm down here." Mira leaned over the bar table and saw Zeke standing on the ground with his tiny arms crossed.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there would you please follow me and get your guildmark."
"You got it cutie," Zeke followed Mira and came back a couple of minutes later with his new light grey guildmark underneath his wing plate.
"I can't believe that I'm actually a member of the best guild in the world!"
"Zeke you have to meet our team."
"You're in a team too! You've been busy haven't you?!" We walked over to Kai and the others.
"This is my team: Hyper-blade. Kai, Silver this is Zeke."
"So this is whom you were referring to when you said Zeke. I must say he is certainly adorable."
"I could say the same about you," Zeke said.
"So this is your exceed huh. He doesn't look like much."
"HIS exceed! I'm no one's exceed but my own, and I might not look like much, but I can assure you I have more magic power than Jack here!"
"Yeah right. A little scrawny guy like you."
"He's right Kai. He does have a lot of magic in that small body of his."
"If you say so. Welcome to the team I guess. I'm Kai Astro and I'm the leader of the team."
"And I am Silver Whirlwind our strategist," Zeke looked up and down Silver with intrigue.
"Damn Jack you have really found some pretty ladies to be around," Silver giggled.
"Anyway Zeke, where have you been all this time?"
"Funny you should ask," And then Zeke jumped on the table and the rest of us sat down to listen to his story.
Zeke tells this story and therefor it is from his first person perspective:
Jack just left to find a small guild to join so we could make some money. We had decided to meet in an alleyway later, so I went there to wait for him since I had nothing better to do. When I got there, I walked in and fell asleep. Someone waked me up and naturally, I thought it was Jack.
"So did you join a guild for us?"
"Whoa… the cat talks," I heard it wasn't Jack so I jumped to my feet and saw four pretty large men standing over.
"Who're you calling a cat you big oaf? I'm an exceed!" I glared at them even though they were almost two meters taller than I was.
"Listen kitty we just got beaten up by a girl and kicked out of our guild for it, we are not in the mood."
"That's hilarious bro. You got beaten up by a girl?" the man cracked his knuckles and glared at me.
"Leave me alone cat or I'll have to hurt you, like I tried that little boy who came to our guild," My eyes lit up.
"What little kid. Was he about sixteen and a little wimp?
"Yeah he was actually. He didn't get into the guild."
"That 'little kid' is my friend and you probably needed his help, if everyone in the guild are like you."
"Alright that's it!" the large man swung his arm at me. I retreated out of the way with ease and I was now out of the ally. "REQUIP: EAGLE STRIKER" I got a pair of iron wings with a blaster attached in the middle. I flew up and dive-bombed down at the four men and three of them ducked but my left wing hit the last guy in the chest sending him flying into the nearby wall. I flew up in the sky again "REQUIP: HEAVENS GLOW!" my wings changed. This pair was not attached to my back but floated a little out from my body. They looked like six spikes made of light. "SHINING JUSTICE!" I shot streams of light out of my wings hitting the last three knocking them out. I landed on the ground and my wings disappeared.
"I'm gonna go to these idiot's guild and give them a piece of my mind! But where is their guild though? Dammit I should have left one of them conscious so he could tell me," How dare they? Not letting Jack join them. He might be a coward and really shy most of the time but when it comes to fighting he can really kick some butt.
Eventually I found the guild I was looking for. I kicked open the door and walked inside. Everyone looked at me and then went back to their business. Well to be fair a small cat isn't exactly intimidating. I walked up to the bar and climbed on top of it.
"What do ya' want lil' kitty?" the bar man asked I quickly grabbed him by the shirt making him drop the glass he was cleaning and pulled him in.
"I need to see your boss right now! Where is he?"
"Uh.. 'e's right up there in 'is office. Ya' should kno' 'e's busy right now."
"Doesn't matter," I pushed the barman away so he landed on the floor. I walked up the steps, everyone looked at me, and then they started laughing.
"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING NUMBSKULLS?"
"'cause you're about to interrupt the boss. You're so dead," I didn't think much of it. I got to the door and kicked it open. I saw a man sitting in a chair with two naked girls on his lap leaning in and touching his bare chest. He didn't look at me but he gave off an angry aura.
"What have I told you about interrupting me during me session you fools?"
"You haven't told me anything you perv,"the man turned around and glared at me.
"Who are you and why should I care?"
"It doesn't matter who I am but your guild rejected my friend so I'm here to make you pay," the man got up and the two girls got dressed and walked out of the room giggling.
"Do you know who you're talking to cat?"
"No," I answered blatantly and I could tell the man was pissed.
"I'm Nick the leader of this guild and you are going to pay for interrupting me," He held up his hand and a bullet of light shot out from it. I dodged out of the way just in time. "REQUIP: MIRRAGE SHELL!" a pair of mirror like wings appeared on my back and I got ready for another attack. He fired another larger bullet and I bended my wings to reflect his beam back at him. He moved out of the way with ease. "REQUIP: DARK ABYSS!" my wings changed to a pair of black holed devil like ones with a dark red outline. "HELLS FURY!" a black fire shot out of the wings and hit Nick straight in the chest. He flew though the wall and out of the guildhall. I flew after him. I was right above him in the air and I hit him downwards changing his trajectory. He hit the ground and it cracked. He stood up and directed his attention to me. "EXPLOSIVE SHOT GATLING!" Nick fired a barrage of bullets at me. "REQUIP: SONIC FLASH!" My wings changed once again this time to a flat thin pair made of extremely light metal. The stripes running down the wings started to glow and I moved as fast as I could towards Nick. Due to my wings I could move extremely fast. I head-butted his chest and he fell to the ground knocked out.
"Pathetic. A guild-master who's this weak? I'm almost glad Jack didn't join this guild," I flew back to the guild with the knocked out leader. I walked in the door and held up the knocked out leader.
"Listen up lowly skum! This is what happens when you don't show kindness to those around you! This guild is disbanded and if anyone here has any objections, I will personally tear down this building!" I dropped the leader on the floor.
"NOW LEAVE!" everyone started running out of the guildhall.
After that, I decided to train every day and look for Jack at the same time.
End of story.
"So that's what I've been doing these past few weeks," Zeke said and sat down on the table.
"Oh yeah I heard about that from one of the guildmates," I said.
"and while I waited I also made a new weapon for my collection. It's my most powerful yet," Zeke said proudly.
"Whatever all I need are my celestial gears."
This sure was one of the weirdest teams in Fairy Tail!
