Sup readers,
So I have reached 10,000 views! I'm so freakin' happy. This story has gone so far from just a couple reviews, but now I've reached 100! I can't believe the amount of followers (110) or favorites (83)! I couldn't imagine my story coming this far and I have all of you to thank for that.
Now, since school is starting up again I'm trying to get in as many chapters in as possible, I'll be real busy in 4 days because that's when I have to go in to deal with year-book stuff.
But I won't worry with that now, I'm going to enjoy writing and sleeping in late while I can.

Normal Pov
Everyone waited as Hibiki went through his archive for the information he somehow gotten on Leviathan's Skull along with forming the battle arrangements using Lucy's format.
After a little bit Hbiki sighed in relief before typing something in again, and a screen popped out in front of everyone. It said-
Leviathan's Skull
He typed some more info into his archive before he moved his hands away form his keyboard and over to the screen in front of him that was projecting it's images over to the large transparent screen in front of everyone.
Slowly, nine numbers appeared, going top to bottom from 9 - 1.
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
To the right of each number was a picture of the person ranking that number, while on the left is their given nickname.
To the right of number 9 revealed a picture of a boy in his late teens, of 17 years-old. His skin was about the same shade as Gray's, his hair was long and spikey of a blue-ish green color but not turquoise. Her wore a large black vest with a red collar similar to Natsu's but much large, almost as long as a cape. He also wore faded gray jeans held by a dark red belt, and black converse with black laces. There was a long scar along his jaw line as though from a blade and his guild mark right below the right side of his jaw in a muddy green. The open vest revealed his muscular chest with a six pack but with a scar lining every inch of skin shown. Battle scars. And on the his right shoulder was his guild mark in dark blue, while on his left shoulder had the number 9 in gothic font.
He appeared cocky, a smug smile on his face, while his eyes glistened in excitement.
It also seemed he was very much aware that someone was taking a picture of him, his eyes partially glinting with madness.
Hibiki cleared his throat. "This is Crash Furi, better known as the 'Elemental Magic-Maker', he can use all four elements consisting of air, water, earth, and fire, including all the other maker-magic elements. He is very strong. Known to have taken out three villages and a small guild including fighting off all the Royal Guards, slaughtering everyone, and not even leaving a single child alive. Before he became apart of this guild he was a free-lance mage, but at some point he had murdered the former master of 'Frozen Time' - a small guild - and was hunted down by all mages of that guild which led to the massacre. He has been in the bingo book for the last 5 years, but hasn't been captured once." He told them, everyone becoming aware just how strong their weakest member is. Gray, Lyon, and Kai were stupid-fied on just how they would fight him. Anyone with an element would be met neutral against him, and only the stronger would be able to over power the other.
Hibiki than pulled up the next picture for 8.
The picture a man in his early 20s, probably 24 or so. He has burgundy messy yet spikey hair with white tips at the ends of each strand of hair. His skin is fair, with multi-colored eyes. His left eye, lavender. And his right eye, sky blue. He looked tall, 5'11 or so. He was wearing black hakamas that had silver music notes decorating it. He also wore a tight sleeveless light grey shirt under an open midnight blue vest, along with black fingerless gloves with metal arm guards. He, for some reason, had ditched his shoes and remained bare-foot, his guild mark on the back of his neck in white.
On his lower back were strapped a pair of foot long daggers, and three parallel scars from his eye to his jaw.
Around his neck was a short necklace with a sapphire teardrop pendent and a matching earring hanging from his left ear. Similar to Sting's in more ways than one. He seemed calm, as he played a tune on his flute, that was brought to his lips. He didn't seem like he'd belong in a dark guild, yet appearances can be very deceiving.
"This is Fayt Landis, he's very well known for playing what people call 'Death Music'. He uses Tune magic in which he can create instruments with his magic and when played each instrument has a different effect against each person. To his right is a white tiger, seemingly his companion. There isn't much known about him, only that he controls his targets to either kill themselves for him, or puts them in the position where he disposes of them there." Hibiki told them, disgust lacing an edge in his tone.
Hibiki then went to 7 and a picture of a girl in her late teens popped up.
There stood a women, her back arched backwards at an odd angle with her neck craned back looking at us. She looked demented, her long black hair waving down to her hips, and her eyes so dark with visible lit pupils. She wore a white uniform, though a surgeons' apron splattered in blood sent chills down almost everyone's spine.
She also wore a white cloak, and a black trench coat with many buttons on it's front and sleeves. She also wore a black mask, obscuring the bottom part of her face, with five spikes running down its center. Her nails were painted black, standing out from her ghostly white skin. She wore black fingerless gloves as well as three spiked bangles on her left wrist, and black rain-boots. Her guild mark was black on her right hand, as though when she kills a victim, they'll know who was responsible.
But the look in her eyes was as terrifying as her appearance, the madness, sickening look in her eyes.
"T-this is Paranoia Lectra, very well known as 'Pandora's Box' for all victims found were dead with a terrified look in their eyes." People shivered at the thought. "She is known for her 'Madness Magic' which is unknown of its full extent. We do know however her magic causes her opponents to face their worst fears and relive them over and over until they become mad themselves and kills them. There isn't much known about her past, only that she was once close to death and was going to die in a hospital one night. But in that very same night everyone in that hospital had been massacred, along with the patients." Hibiki finished, he too terrified by this women who looked to be his age, of early 20s.
Hibiki shook his thoughts before pulling up the next dark mage, 6.
She looked young, about in her late teens, 17 or so. Her auburn locks framing her shoulder as she leans against a tree, rain pouring down around her in the forest she was in. She was wearing a simple black tunic and black jeans, along with a dark navy blue hooded cloak. Her skin was light, and her eyes a lighter shade of grey. She wasn't looking at anything really, a lost look in her eyes. She didn't appear as a dark mage except for the red guild mark of the dark guild on the lower part of her left leg.
She looked lost, but also strong.
"Her name is Leah Cross, gaining the title of the 'Assassin' from her quick and stealthy attacks against her opponents. She uses Shadow Magic." This gained Rogue's attention closely. "She is known to be able to turn your own shadow against you and create them into her personal weapons. Anything that is a shadow, can easily be under her control. She can even sink into the shadows and become invisible to the naked-eye. Her past she was known to be a thief, destined to be hanged. She wasn't from Fiore, but eventually escaped her cell and crossed the border here." Hibiki told them, going to number 5.
He was a man that looked over his teens, he's at least 20 years-old with fair skin. His eyes are a Persian blue and pantone red hair messy, reaching just above his shoulders. His hair was parted to where it covered the entire right side of his face, with some strands spiked upwards.
He had some sort of black crystal hanging off his right ear, along with a few silver loops on his upper left ear. He wore no shirt revealing his well toned abs, and red guild mark on the left side of his chest. He wore black jeans that had been torn at the bottom, and a silver chain hung around his neck with a skull pendant that had on a cowboy hat and cigarette in it's mouth. Multiple silver chains hung off his jeans and he was wearing checkered skate shoes.
His appearance was very drawing to most of the girl's, but his eyes were dead, holding excitement deep inside them. He was frowning slightly, staring at his finger tips, as though he was looking at something only he could see.
"This is Kaius Damien, he is known as the 'Puppet Master' for his usage of Doll Magic. This type of magic allows him to attach wires to the body that cannot be seen and control us from there. A few years back he was known for turning a town's mayor into his own personal puppet and walked around the village forcing the mayor to kill every single resident of that town before throwing him off a cliff." Lucy remembered she had run into a few incidents were she was forced to do things, leaving her mind alone but her body was no longer hers.
Hibiki pulled up the next image for 4.
A short girl of about 5 ft. appeared, she looked in her middle teens, most likely 16. Her skin was a little darker than pale and her dark purple almost black hair went straight down to her shoulders but with a fringe that covered her right eye. Her eyes were hidden by the shadow of her hood though so her eyes remained unseen and unknown. Her hood was black with no sleeves revealing her dark purple guild mark on her left forearm. She was also wearing purple jeans that were torn at the knees and were tucked into black gothic boots.
Over all she looked mysterious and brooding.
Her name is Kuchiku Grimm, she is known for usage in poison, which is also her magic. Over the years she has gained the title of 'Executioner' though most civilians call her the 'Child of Death'. She apparently killed her family when she was a child. She hasn't been sighted much since then, though every victim's life she's stolen bares the mark of leviathan's Skull on they're corpse." Hibiki sighed gaining everyone's attention. He pushed his messy hair back before pulling up the next three images all at once.
"The last three are 10 times stronger than the others. They're power far suppresses the masters power combined." This shocked everybody. "Since they don't have a guild master they have ranked themselves from 1 - 9. They're power combined would be able to wipe out the magic council and our masters. The reason we are joined is to take them down. These three are the elites of the guild, they all see each other as equals but if we were to take out just one of them, then the others magic would deplete little by little. I have come to believe each tattooed number holds a certain amount of magic, and once the number disappears they're magic will begin to deplete." Hibiki told them. "But it's not that easy." Lucy said calmly. Hibiki nodded. "Like I said, the top 3 hold magic that is far pass our magic and the masters', however we are here to take them out one by one. So I would say it'd be best to take them out first." Hibiki told them before enlarging the photo by 3.
The picture was of a boy that was in his early teens, just a couple years older than Wendy.
He had short and choppy reddish-brown hair that fell over his maroon eyes. He was rather tan and was dressed in an oversized white hoodie with black markings, faded black jeans, and worn out sneakers. His right sleeve was torn off revealing his guild mark in black on his shoulder.
He expression was neutral except for his eyes that held mischief.
"Judas Deamon, age 14 yet has already mastered Destruction Magic. The only other mage known to hold this magic is Gildarts Clive of Fairy Tail. Judas is on pare with him and if not stronger than him." This surprised everyone in Fairy Tail, they knew how strong Gildarts was, and if a boy was a strong as him at such a young age than they really had a challenge there. "He's a master at deception and manipulating people as well, and is known for his love of destroying and blowing things up. He doesn't seem to be in contact with anyone in his guild, mostly solo. The magic council is very fearful of him and has given him his title as 'The Destroyer'." Hibiki finished before going over to 2.
This girl looked only a year older than Judas. She appeared petite with fair skin. Her dark red hair is long and layered in the front but short in the back. The fringe of her hair was highlighted gold and right eye was golden, looking more snake than cat. Her left eye was covered by a black eye-patch, and a silver metallic snake was resting against her shoulder.
The girl wore a short black dress which shows the orange guild mark on her back with grey ribbons wrapped around her leg loosely. Overall she looked frightening and emotionless all at once.
"Rae Yasasshi, age 15, her magic is unknown. However we do know she specializes in snakes, and the snake on her shoulder is loyal to her. Many have referred to her as the 'Snake Charmer', because of her love for them, but unfortunately nothing else has been uncovered about her. Do not underestimate her though, she is the 2nd strongest out of her guild, and the fact that there's so little info on her just ensures how dangerous she is." Hibiki then took a large breath before exhaling and enlarged number 1.
The photo was of a women of 19. She had short black hair with red highlights, or at least that's what the red appeared as...
Her eyes are bloodshot, and was wearing a kimono with black pants and a white shirt that had what appeared to be red 'splatter paint' that was really no doubt the dried blood of her victims. She's barefoot and was holding a very large black hammer over her shoulder. Around her wrists were steel cuffs that were broken yet remained against her wrists. In the background it seemed to be raining, while she sat perched in a tree, blood splattered against her face.
"This is Kira Tenshi, though her given name by the number of people she's killed she is known as the 'Bloody Angel'. We don't know much about her, only that she has been killing since she was rather young, and was eventually arrested by the Royal Army and was to be executed. But she broke out on the day of her execution and slaughtered everyone who got in her way, including half the Royal Army." Everyone's eyes widened at this. "She hasn't been spotted since, until the recent months were Leviathan's Skull revealed their presence. She is the most powerful of the guild." Hibiki stated. "To be truthful she is the absolute last person you would want to face alone, to go against her would take all of us, and that would be at our maximum strength." He told them.
All the numbers and pictures then disappeared as Hibiki pulled up the new and improved battle formation. "I created this using Lucy's rough draft of how we should approach our enemies. Memorize your position, remember not to act arrogant unless you want to lose your life and jeopardize everyone else's. We leave tomorrow at Dawn, you'll need as much rest as you can get." Hibiki said walking away from his archive after locking it, but leaving it out so everyone can memorize they're position.
Soon after everyone headed to a room and laid out they're sleeping bags or just flat out laid on the floor and fell asleep. Lucy went back over to her spot on the second floor at the window ledge, and fell asleep watching the dark forest.
Though unknown to everyone, a certain shadow had been listening to all and slowly disappeared out the building through the broken castle roof, and made it's way into the dark forest.
...
...
...
"So what'd you find out." A deep voice asked, his presence masked by the night along with the other 8.
"They know a lot about us, but they still believe they can defeat us, so in other words they have no idea how outmatched they are." The shadow reformed into a person, but the night masked her appearance as well.
"Good. I can't wait to see their dead eyes looking back at us, our hands soaked in their blood." Another voice chuckled.
"When are they coming?" A more sane voice asked.
"Dawn." The shadow girl answered.
Everyone nodded and together they began walking deeper in the forest.
"This is going to be fun won't it?" The youngest asked, with a toothy grin on his face.
"Very." A voice said before laughing like a hyena.
"Very much indeed." A girl's voice whispered.
And together, the nine mages disappeared into the night.
End of chapter 17! Can't believe I'm almost at chapter 20!
Battles will be in the next chapters after this. The official battle chapters start when I name it Battle against the Leviathan's Part I, or something.
Anyways thanks to all who've loved and stuck with this story!
Later~
