The Tenrou Group Lives On - Chapter 17 – The Missions
What happens if Natsu, Mirajane, and Erza gets left behind? The guild is gone. There's only three people left to protect Fairy Tail for 7 years. Theres only three members of Fairy Tail to take control and run Fairy Tail till they return. Natsu must become the guild master until they return.
Natsu x Mirajane x Erza
"So can I open it now?" Erza asked as she heard the loud whistle of the sleek black train. With that whistle blown she felt herself move slightly as noises all over began. The train slowly began to pull out of the train station with Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane all aboard in there own room.
"Were moving aren't we?" Natsu replied to Erza with a quick smile crossing his lips as he watched Erza quickly rip open the envelope and take the note out. There he sat now watching Erza and Mirajane sitting there in front of him reading there directions.
'This missions has 5 separate teams. There are 5 people from the magic council that we have the addresses for. Each have been chosen to look into them. If there alive, protect them. If there dead, find out how they died. Lastly if there alive find out as much information you can from them about Tartarus and what they would be after. Erza and Mirajane, both of you and me will be traveling to the retired magic councils Crawford Seam's home. That is our target.' The letter in front of Erza and Mirajane read as there eyes scanned and poured over it.
"I see.. I hope he's alive by the time we get there." Erza whispered lowly as her brown eyes looked down at the tile floor.
"No, he won't be as his home. He's locked up in a jail cell at the moment..." Natsu explained quietly as he looked out the window as the swaying trees flew by the time in a zip.
"Why would that be?" Mirajane asked as she got out of her seat and sat next to Natsu. She then rested her head on Natsu's shoulder as she snuggled up into him.
"Because.. during the Grand Magic Games we locked him away." Natsu answered aloud as Erza's brown and Mirajane's light blue eyes open wide and they both remembered. Back during the Grand Magic Games, they had locked away Crawford Seam.
The loud train continued on it's track as they were heading straight for there destination; a city once there they would find a ride and go towards a house owned by Crawford Seam. There they would find out any information they could about Tartarus and how he was a member.
"Well now.. this is quite a surprise." A old man spoke aloud as he watched 4 people walk into his restaurant. The old man watched as the four people walked across the brown oak floor boards, pass all the tables and chairs, and arrive in front of him as he stood there behind a counter with a black and white newspaper in his hand.
Of the four people, the blonde haired one smiled and finally decided to speak. "Were just here as you sent in a request for a few assistants." Laxus spoke aloud as he look at the scrawny short old man in front of him.
This old man wore a tall white chefs hat upon his bald head. He had wrinkles all over his face and the color of his think eyes brows had grown white. At the moment he wore a pair of black shoes, shirt, and pants. On the pants was a white colors apron for cooking.
"That's very kind if you Laxus." Yajima chuckled slightly. "So how's your grand father been?" Yajima asked next as his black eyes looked at the three other people. There in front if him was a blonde women, a green haired man, and a blue haired man. He quickly presumed that the three people other people were his friends, the so called thunder tribe.
"He's been good.. Bickslow, Freed, and Evergreen, why don't you three help Yajima clean this place up some while I go talk to Mr. Yajima here privately." Laxus explained as he gave his three thunder tribe members tasks and look straight at Yajima who gave him a quick nod.
"Of course, we will try out hardest!" Freed announced as he quickly ran towards where he had seen a dusty broom in the corner to help clean the place up. After him came Evergreen and Bickslow who began helping as well.
As soon as they were gone Laxus watched Yajima begin walking out from behind the large counter and begin to walk towards a large wooden door. Once they arrived there he quickly opened it to reveal a small office. There was a few book she keeps inside with a simple wooden desk.
"So what can I do for you Laxus?" Yajima asked as he figured that the job he told him that he was going to do was a cover up.
"I'm hoping you can tell me why all the Ex-council members and wizard saints are being targeted and killed. Also becuase of that, were here to protect you." Laxus explained as he began to tell Yajima of the real reason why he was there.
"I see.. that's explains a lot. Also I haven't got a clue, I've been trying to figure that out myself." Yajima sighed as he leaned back in his chair and began to stroke his chin as he pondered on it once more. He was quite curious himself as he'd been reading the news about the bombing at the magic council.
"Alright, thanks for the information." Laxus replied as he stood up from the seat he was sitting in and began to walk towards the door as he began to leave Yajima's office.
With that Laxus left Yajima's office and quickly left the restaurant as he decided to take a small walk while he racked his brain. 'Dang it.. Yajima didn't know anything either. I guess hopefully the others teams are luckier.' Laxus thought to himself as he quickly walked along the path and through the town.
As Laxus sighed a man with a black cape and hood wrapped around him walked by. Laxus then looked up towards the sky as he sensed no danger and saw the giant yellow sun around light blue sky.. it seems his task was easy, nothing was going on.
"Finally we're off.." Gajeel sighed as he stepped off of the steel train that had just stopped at the train station. They were finally at there jobs location that Master Natsu had handed them.
"So this is it.. let's hope were not to late." Jet sighed as he stopped off the train with Droy right behind him and Levy in front.
"Yeah, I'm hoping so to." Levy announced aloud as she became worried about the person she was suppose to find and protect if she or he was still alive.
Team Shadowgears plus Gajeel were on there way to the Ex council women Belno. She was one of the few people that they had an address for and personally knew.
'You better not be dead, hag.' Gajeel thought to himself as he bang walking out the train station following Levy and quickly began walking down the road towards Belno's house. Gajeel was wearing a striped bandana holding his long black hair back, a black shirt, and grey pants.
Levy was wearing her normal orange dress that complimented her silky blue hair with a orange beret in it. Jet had a orange hair pulled back, a purple long shirt, black pants, and a brown strap around his stomach to help guard himself. Droy wore a slim white shirt, green pants, and two yellow belts strapped to his chest. His black hair was also tied up.
"Here! This should be the place!" Levy yelled as they turned a corner and saw a reguler home sitting at the end of the street.
Once they arrived all four of them quickly walked up tot he front door and knocked on the door. They all stood there praying she's wasn't dead. Time went on for bit and after 10 minutes if waiting.. They only could only assume the worst.
"Levy.." Jet whispered as he had a good feeling what had happened to Belno. His gut was saying that she would answer but knew in his heart that wasn't true.
"I know.. let's go inside and just confirm." Levy sighed silently as she watched Gajeel's arm go gray iron.
Boom!
Levy watched as Gajeel easily break down the locked door and step inside to make sure things were safe. Once Gajeel, Droy, and Jet and entered she decided to follow.
The first thing that hit her was a wary smell and a horrible musk.
"Damn.." Gajeel muttered as he began walking forward and quickly finding Belmo. Now there was a problem.. that problem was that she wasn't breathing.
She laid there not breathing.. from her blond hair laid around her head, her chest staying still, and her body cold. Belno had been dead for hours.. but they had no idea why.
"Are we even able to tell how she died? Droy asked as Levy began looking around Belno's body to see if there was a reason why she died.
As levy searched Belno's body and came up empty handed she noticed that Gajeel was leaned back against the wall just standing there thinking. It was quite rare to see.
'I am not going to stand here and lecture you about how to live a just and proper life... But... I will stand here and tell you to live one that has some meaning.'
'Those damn words.. after all this time.' Gajeel thought to himself as his mind wondered upon the last word Belno had told him right as Phantom Lord Disbanded and he went to Fairy Tail. 'I did.. my life now has meaning.. I have family as well.' Gajeel finished thinking to himself as he gave a smirk and let himself been to look around Belno's place.
The room had wooden walls in every direction with arches as doors. Along the walls were large and different weapons all over. From scimitars, daggers, swords, and large hammers, weapons were hanging everywhere, and it looks as if she was ready for a war.
"Gajeel?" Levy asked aloud as she turned toward Gajeel nod saw him walking towards her with a quick smirk across his face which quickly disappeared.
"Seems there's no information here.. let's contact Natsu and see what we should do." Gajeel explained as he quickly realized they were coming up empty handed.
"Yeah I guess.. that would be the next step we should take." Levy agreed with Gajeel as she nodded her hand and took off the tan backpack she had been carrying. Once it was down she took out a small glove like lacrima to contact Master Natsu.
"So this is it.." Sting announced as he stood there looking over the village he had just arrived in with his team.
"It is.. let's quickly find this Ex Magic Council man and see what we can find." Rogue replied to his partner as they began there short walk through the town with Lucy and Wendy following behind them.
The town was a simple place with a few homes here and there with shops in a few places. The group walked along the dirt road as Sting lead the group and found the correct house.
'I must do good to show Master Natsu that I'm strong.. this could be my golden chance. If I can find the correct info I can be more helpful to him!' Sting thought to himself as he searched for the correct home while occasionally looking down at the directions. Natsu had given him the directions and decided to not send an S class wizard with his team.
"Were here!" Sting suddenly yelled and got his teams attention as he stopped in front of a plain looking wooden house. He turned around and showed everyone the door that had the correct number from the mission in the envelope Natsu had given them.
"That's good.. let's hope he's alright then." Lucy announced as she confirmed with her own eyes that they were at the right house.
Knock. Knock.
Sting quickly turned back around he began to bang his hand against the wooden door and wait for a answer.
"Who's there and what do you want?" A old short man asked. He brown long hair with his two ears sticking out of it, a brown mustache, and a brown cain in his hands. His shirt was was light blue with black stripes across it, with black matching matching pants, and shoes.
"Uh.. hi! Were wizards from Fairy Tail, were here to ask you a few questions." Wendy explained as everyone just stood there and was quiet. No one made a noise so Wendy decided to do something and began to speak.
"Fairy Tail? What does that reckless guild want from me now?" The old man in the door way asked. He was already growing impatient as he could not care about talking to them.
"Well for starts you don't need to be mean to her. I'm Sting, thats Rogue, she's Lucy, and she's Wendy." Sting informed the old man as he pointed at everyone.
"Aye, and I'm Happy!" Happy yelled and quickly added his name as he flew around Wendy with Carla.
"I don't really care.. so again what do you want?" The old man asked.
"Ok.. were just here to find out some information on maybe why Tartarus is hunting down Ex magic council members." Lucy explained to the old man in front of her as she tried to make him understand what was going in.
"I see.. o wel-." The old man began yelling as he began to shut the door. But seconds before he could, a young women stopped him.
"Grandfather.. you should let our guests in for some tea.. it's only information there after, it wouldn't hurt you to be nice." A young women told the old man in front of them as the same old man was forced to shut his mouth and do as his grand daughter asked.
"Fine.. come in." The old man sighed as he opened the door and turned around to her towards the living room. Once there he sat down at a tan colored couch surrounding a black coffee table.
Sting, Rogue, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla all walked into the home as they followed the old man to his living room. As they walked by they so the young women walk over to the kitchen.
"So.. you want to know what Tartarus is after?" The old man asked as he raised his eyebrow and waited for a response.
"Yes... but um.. you are Michello? Correct?" Lucy asked to confirm the old man in front of her.
"Yes.. that's my name and that's Michelia." Michello answered Lucy as she pointed back and everyone saw a young girl leaving the kitchen with a tray full of tea mugs. Her hair was brown like her grand fathers and she wore a white tank top and a black skirt.
"It's nice to meet you all.. I've brought some tea." Michelia explained as she set a tray of hot steaming tea mugs on the black coffee table.
"Thanks you." Wendy replied to Michelia as she was kind to them and helping.
"Tartarus.. If you've been reading the news you would probably know they're hunting ex magic council members at the moment. You might be one of them.. were also hoping you might know why." Rogue explained aloud to Michello and Michelia.
"Hmm.. there could be many reasons.. maybe.. no, no one knows about that." Michello thought aloud as he ran through his memories of everything he knew about the magic council. The one logical reason could be the magic councils worst weapon, Face, but no they wouldn't know about it.
"No one knows about what? We need all the information we can get!" Sting almost yelled as became impatient. Hearing that he just might know about it made his heart ping.. Fairy tail need all the information they could get to find what Tartarus was doing.
"The magic council has many weapons.. that's all I can say really." Michello explained to Sting quickly as he decided to be quiet about the information.
"B-but we need the information, Tartarus is killing off all the magic council members and ex members! There killing everyone!" Lucy yelled in protest as she tried to change the old man in front of her mind. They needed this information desperately.
"Grandfather.. if you have information that could help them it would be nice that you gave it to them. There trying to save innocent people from dying." Michelia explained in a kind voice to her grand father, she was trying to help out Fairy Tail in the best way she could. She didn't want innocent people to get hurt.
"Ugh.. fine, I'll try the best I can." Michello sighed and finally gave in as he heard his grand daughter beg him. "Now first.. let me explain what this weapon is. First the weapons name is... Face." Michelia whispered as he went quiet and calm. As he spoke the last words the entire world went silent.
"Hmm.. there not answering.. what should i do..?" A brown long hair man asked aloud as his black cloak flew back slightly in the breeze. Gildarts stood there in a town he really didn't know waiting for a answer on the house he was at. The bright yellow sun was high above in the air as he countinued to wait.
"Alright.. if your not going to answer I guess I better confirm that your de-." Gildarts announced aloud as he used his crash magic to destroy the door. He then took a step forward a was given a sight of horror.
There I'm front of him was a wrinkly old man with no hair and baggy clothing. His black eyes were opened wide as he arms were hanging straight down as if he was a zombie. The man looked dead.. but he was standing like he was alive.
"Umm.. sorry about yo-." Gildarts stuttered as he tried to apoligies about the door he had just broken down to see the old man in front of him.. but suddenly the old man screamed.
"Gah!" The old man screamed out in pain as he collapsed onto the dark spruce wood floor.
'What the.. so he was already dead? Then what just happened?' Gildarts thought to himself in bewilderment as he began to look around. There was something going on.. he could tell by what had just happened. But what was it, was his only question.
Snap!
"Mm.. what a big strong man in front of me." A demon like black haired, ghost white skinned women giggled as she snapped close her book in her small soft like hands.
The women in front of him was gorgeous. From her showing off her silky thighs, her cheetah kimino that barely held her luscious breasts, and her dreamy eyes. On her feet were a pair of black high heels, in her black hair were two golden like horns, and lastly was a strange looking symbol, etched onto her stomach sitting there revealed on her the same place. For some reason the kimino she wore had a missing part that revealed that simple part of her.
"Well hello there.." Gildarts told the women in front of her as he decided to turn in his smooth words even though the scene was awkward with a dead body behind him.
"Hello to you to.." The women replied back to Gildarts as she slowly stood up and stared straight into his similar black eyes.
"So.. are you the reason why old man Yuri is dead?" Gildarts ask as he pondered over it and asked a serious question instead of continuing his smooth words to woo her over.
"Why yes.. yes I am. But don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I need you for my plan." The demon like women explained as she giggled slightly and watched as her curse affected and the man in front of her go stiff.
"Hmm..?" Gildarts slightly grunted as he felt his body began to grow cold then stiff. Suddenly a cracking sound was made as a burst of white dots bursted around him. "Well that was weird.. it seemed if something was trying to take control of me." Gildarts laughed slightly as he began to smile and crack his knuckles.
"W-what the.. not.. possible. Who are you?" The demonic women asked as her eyes widened in surpise as she watched her curse go null. In under a simple few seconds her curse was destroyed. Who could this man be?
"My name is Gildarts Clive.. what's yours?" Gildarts told the black hair women in front of him as he brought one foot back and brought his hands up to his face. The atomsphere around them was calling for a fight.
"My name is Sayla.. I am one of the nine demons of Tartarus.. and your about to die!" Sayla explained who she was and brought her foot back to prepare for a fight. If she couldn't control this man.. it would run her plan and might cause her trouble down the line.
The fight between Guldarts and Sayla was about to start.
The wind whipped by them at there hair slowly flew back in the wind. They had just taken there hoods off as they reached a stopping point to rest. As there hoods fell down onto there black cloaks, Ultear's dark purple, and Meredy's pink long pink hair flew back.
They were both on top a green grass mountain that looked over a nearby town. They had just finished investigating that town as they were on the job that Natsu sent them on. There job was to find out information on Tartarus and if they could.. Jellal.
"So far.. nothing." Meredy sighed as she laid her back against the cold grass and watched the white fluffy clouds in the light blue sky with her green eyes. She watched and waited as she rested her mind. So far they had gone through 5 towns with no luck so far.
Now they were on root to the magic council jail to ask around some prisoners that might have any ideas. There first idea was Oración Seis dark guild that were all locked up, except for Cobra who was back at Fairy Tail with the people who hadn't gone to the council members homes.
"Yeah.. nothing so far, but we'll find something soon. I can feel it." Ultear explained as she laid back her head onto the grass next to Meredy and watched the sky as well. Herself and Meredy attire only changed slightly. Ultear now wore her normal battle suit which was a black one piece swim suit that had protection on it with a pair of large black boots that went up to her thigh. Wrapped around her was a black cloak.
Meredy still wore her red dress with the yellow bow wrapped around it as her brown ear muffs were still of her head with a knee high pair of black boots were on her legs like Ultear. Lastly a black cloak was wrapped around her.
"I hope so.. I want to see Natsu again.." Meredy giggled to herself as she thought back to the day before. Her mind clearly remembered her fun time with Natsu in his office.
"Don't worry.. you will." Ultear quickly told Meredy with hesitation and a smile across her lips.
With that both women sighed and continued there brake as they lost themselves in there own thoughts. But.. soon a weird question popped into Meredy's mind.
"Hey Ultear.. I've been wondering.. why did you fall for Natsu?" Meredy asked with a kind voice as she rolled over onto her side and stared at Ultear closely. She was very interested in the answer.
"Hmm.. now I would have to tell you a story to explain that." Ultear replied to Meredy's question as she rolled over and faced Meredy on her side as well.
"Well.. we have a few hours to spare.." Meredy suggested as she eagerly smiled and began to prod Ultear over why she had fallen for the guild leader of Fairy Tail: Natsu Dragneel.
"But it's complicated." Ultear continued to hold her own ground as she once more defended herself against Meredy. Even though she had no real good reason to not tell her.. she decided she would be lazy and not.
"Hmm.. then I must use extreme measures!" Meredy suddenly got serious and quickly began to tickle Ultear all over his her body.
"N-no.." Ultear cried as she began to laugh and giggle. "F-fine.. oh god.. fine." Ultear huffed as she tried to calm down her crazy heart beat rush from being tickled.
"Yay!" Meredy cheated in happiness as she quickly sat down Indian style and wasted for Ultear to be ready.
As soon as Ultear took a few deep breaths to catch her breath she began.
"So.. originally it started when I first met him.." Ultear began to explain her story of why and how she fell head over heels for Natsu. Her story was a sad one. "After I first met him in the magic council, then fighting Deliora, the Tenrou island, and last during the time when the Tenrou group was gone." Ultear explained to Meredy.
"Through out each time, I learned something new about him. He was strong, protected others, wouldn't give up, and was charming as well as being a hunk. Each time I saw him.. I began to crave for him." Ultear continued to explain to Meredy with a long sigh and a soft smile crossing her face.
"The last and the final part where I broke down.. last years Grand Magic Games. I was ready.. I was going to sacerfice myself.. instead Natsu came in and saved me. After that.. I only knew that I wanted him even more." Ultear finished explaining and giggled at the end as her mind ran through each scene inside her head. She could clearly see each one. Meeting Natsu for the first time, fighting Deliora, and Natsu saving her.
"That's so sweet, I love it!" Meredy replied to Ultear with a large smilea she learned her best friends reason for falling in love.
"So.. missy.. what about you?" Ultear asked as she quickly gave Meredy a poke with a laugh.
"That's for next break." Meredy replied as she relaxed on the green grass with Ultear. They stared up at the sky one last time before finally getting up and traveling once more.
Hey people! Chapter 17 done and this chaoter finished off sorting out who went to where. Left hint in Bach area of what would happen. Next chapter will focus on tons of fights so will be heavy fights.. also as requested and shown.. I'll be working on Ultear and Meredy's relationship with Natsu. Also I left a hint in there area of what part they'll appear in.
For other stuff.. Chapter 2 was re-edited and the grammar was fixed. I'll be working on fixing up chapter 3 and a few others hopefully in the coming weeks.
Lastly.. lemons, yup.. NO MORE! That's a wrap on them.. please remember this is the last arc in this story (though we've still got a long way to go). Remember in this arc Natsu will defeat Tartarus and Zeref.. Still decided on what to do with E.N.D.. as well if your up to date on the manga then you know who E.N.D is..
Well that's it! Thanks for the all support so far and if enjoyed it my story, drop me a follow! :D
