Chapter 13
Natsu looked up to the sky in horror after he had just watched Happy explode along with Jackal, everyone started to shed tears until they saw a small dot getting closer and closer until they could see it was Happy. A bit charred around the edges but Happy was alive. Natsu ran over and hugged his friend.
"we should get in touch with the guild" Lucy said as she took out a lacrima
They sat around as they listened to the reports of the other teams failures, "we managed to defeat the demon Jackal and Michello is unharmed" Lucy reported to the guild master, "he mentioned something called face but he refuses to talk about it"
"Michello" the guild master shouted at the former councilman, "what is face and what do Tartaros want with it?"
"face" the old man looked terrified at the mere mention of its name, "it's the magic councils greatest weapon and greatest shame, it is a weapon capable of nullifying all magic on the continent"
Upon hearing that all the members of the guild were shocked in to silence. Natsu grabbed the old man by his collar and threatened him, "where is it?" he asked, "that thing shouldn't even exist"
"I don't know where it is" Michello said fearing for his life, "but I know that three former council members sealed it way using organic link"
"who are they?" Makarov asked, "Tartaros must be hunting them so they can unseal face"
"I don't know who they are" Michello said, "but the former chairman should know"
"do we know where the former cahirman is?" Makarov asked turning to Laki
"yes we've sent Mirajane, Erza and Kalex to his house already" she told him
"good" the guild master turned back to the mages, "all of you get back to the guild"
Kalex appeared outside the house of the former magic council chairman, holding Erza in his arms and giving Mira a piggy back, "thank god we're here" Kalex said as he fell to his knee
"are you ok?" Mira asked as she got off his back
"yeah it's just that it's difficult to maintain it over long distances and with passengers" Kalex stood and the group entered the former chairman's house
The first thing Kalex noticed was the extremely strong herbal smell, it blocked out any other smell, the three sat down with the former chairman and explained the situation to him as he served them tea. They were in the middle of enjoying their tea when Kalex's ears pricked, "you hear that?" he asked Erza
"yes" they all stood and made their way outside to find the house surrounded
"funny they only sent grunts" a smile spread across Kalex's face as he got ready to attack, "I was hoping to see that sexy demon again"
"just focus on the task at hand" Erza said as the three of them charged and took everyone out in a matter of seconds
"that was no fun" Kalex said as he kick the limp body of one of the grunts
"strange they sent such weak members to capture the former chairman" Mira said as they made their way back to the house
"what is stranger is that they know about face at all, I mean not even all of the magic council knew about it, the only way they could know is if…." Kalex's eyes widened as he realised what was going on but before he could say a word the entire world went black
"KALEX" Erza shouted out his name as both her and Mira fell to the ground
The former chairman contacted the dark guild Tartaros to get some help collecting the prisoners .
