Chapter 5: Jade
Jade P.O.V
Me and Guildarts continued to walk until we stopped in front of the entrance of the place. I took a look around the place along with Guildarts before walking up towards an familiar looking girl with white hair.
"Welcome home." She said.
"I'm sorry to bother you miss but we're looking for a guild that used to be around these parts called Fairy Tail." Guildarts said.
"This is it, remember me Mirajane." Mira said.
"Mira?" We both said.
'Is this really Mira?' I thought. 'Man she really change, what happen to her?'
"Wow you sure had grow up a lot little girl and did you change some stuff around the hall too?" Guildarts asked looking around the place.
"Wow things sure had change." I said giving the place another look.
"Guildarts and Jade!" a familiar voice said from some stairs.
"Natsu, hey pal there's somebody I recognize." Guildarts said.
"Hey Natsu, long time no see." I said.
"Good to see you two now let's fight." Natsu said jumping towards us.
However Guildarts grabbed Natsu and twirl him before throwing him towards the ceiling.
"Not now kid." Guildarts said.
"It feels good to be back." I said smiling.
"It sure is and I see a couple of new faces, a lot had happen while we were gone." Guildarts said.
"Guildarts. Jade."
We both turn to see Makarov sitting on the counter.
"Oh master." Guildarts said as we both walked up to him.
"Nice to see you again master Makarov." I said.
"How did the job go?" he asked.
"Yeah about that." I said with a slight chuckled.
That's when Guildarts also started to laugh. "No good. It was way too much for us."
That's when the whole guild froze in shock expect for one person I notice who did a short sigh before turning around to the mission board. We started to hear talk about how can we failed and wondering if we were joking.
"I see the job was too tough." Makarov said who liked he was deep in thought.
"I apologize for the failure." I said doing a small bow.
"Forgive us for bringing shame to this guild." Guildarts said.
"No you two only brought yourselves in one piece and that's no small feat in itself. As far as I know your the only two people who made the journey home alive." Makarov said.
"Thanks boss now I gotta get home and start to feel alive, rest my weary bones. Jade I'll call you when I'm ready." Guildarts said walking away. "Oh Natsu stop by later I brought something for you."
"Understood." I said before walking towards a stool to take a seat.
"Well I'm outta here you guys." Guildarts said destroying a part of the guild walls leaving.
"He could have used the door." I said sighing.
Zak P.O.V
"And they're the strongest we have?" I heard Lucy asked looking at Jade and the hole Guildarts created.
He looked to be 19-year old and has medium light brown messy hair and was wearing a leaf green jacket, brown pants, green sneakers and had a crystal around his neck.
"Believe it or not they are." Erza said. "So don't be fooled on how they act."
"She has a point underestimating somebody can lead to your downfall."
We all turn to see Jade walking up towards us.
"Jade it's nice to see you again." Erza said.
"Thanks Erza." Jade said.
"I'm surprise you remember me but not Mira." Erza said smiling.
"Hey she really change in the past three years you remember what she used to be like." Jade said. "What happen to her?"
"It's a long story." Erza said looking down.
"I see." Jade said before turning to face me and Lucy. "So are these two one of the new recruits?""
"Yes Jade this is Lucy and Zak." Erza said.
"Hey it's nice to meet you." Lucy said.
"Whatever." I said.
After saying that I was hit in the head by Erza.
"You need to learn to show some respect to other members." Erza said to me.
"I don't care what you think." I said crossing my arms.
"Perhaps I need to teach you a lesson." Erza said.
"Bring it on." I said entering a battle stance with electricity pulsing out of me and equipping my sword
However before we clash we both stop when Jade started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Lucy asked.
"It's just that I never seen anybody stand up to Erza like that." Jade said smiling. "I sure did miss a lot of things."
"Please she isn't scary." I said putting away my sword.
"I wouldn't be too sure. You should see her when she was young" Jade said.
"I did actually." I said.
"So you know each other?" Jade asked.
"Another long story." I said.
"I really need to catch up on things but at least I have some new friends." Jade said putting his arm around Zak. "Isn't that right."
"Don't. Touch. Me." I said removing his arms.
"Cold much?" Jade asked.
"Exactly. Now if that's all I'm leaving for a mission." I said walking away.
Jade P.O.V
"What's his problem?" I asked watching Zak walk away.
"Don't let him bring you down." Lucy said.
"Yeah he just had a rough life up until now." Erza said.
"I guess I can understand." I said. "Does anybody know what he been though?"
"Kinda. He doesn't really talks much about it but only Leaf knows." Lucy said.
"Leaf?" I asked.
"Did somebody say my name?"
I turned to see a dark green cat flying towards us.
"It's nothing we were just talking Zak." I said.
"Oh I'm sorry if Zak did anything wrong. He's always like that." Leaf said landing. "I just wished he open himself up more like I have."
"You and me both." I said.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Leaf and I'm Zak's best friend. Nice to meet you." Leaf said offering his paw.
"Jade and it's nice to meet you." I said shaking his paw.
"Thanks and by the way where's Zak?" Leaf asked looking around.
"He just left for a job." Lucy said.
"Without me?" Leaf asked. "I swear he's working too hard on jobs and missions."
"Now that I think about it he haw been taking mission non stop since he got here." Erza said.
"Seriously." I said. "Why is that?"
"Probability because he does it to avoid people." Leaf said. "Perhaps we need to make him go on another team mission like last time."
"Please don't bring that up." Lucy said.
"Why? I mean me and Zak had so much fun." Leaf said smiling.
"Fun isn't how I describe it."
"But it's worth a shot." Leaf said. "I'll go talk to the master about it."
"You really do care about him." I said.
"Of course he's my best friend and was one of my only family I had for a while until I met you guys. I just want him to be happy." Leaf said.
"Don't worry Leaf I'll make it my mission to become friends with Zak." I said.
"Really." Leaf said.
"I promise." I said.
"Thanks."
"Well I'm going to say hi to the others now." I said starting to walk off.
Zak P.O.V(Next Day)
"What is this exactly?" I asked.
We were walking outside and Leaf somehow manage me to take a break from a job so we were going to get something to eat on the way Leaf picked something up.
"It's a cool figure I found that they were selling." Leaf said holding a statue of me and Leaf.
"And they were selling this?" I asked.
"That's what I just said." Leaf said.
"And they had it why?" I asked.
"They told me it's for your fans." Leaf said.
"I have fans?"
"I guess so."
"Humans these days." I said.
"Do you want it?" Leaf asked.
"No keep it."
Our conversation was cut short when it started to rain and thunder was heard.
"You hear that?" I asked.
"Lightning."
"Correct so I guess I have something to eat now."
"But what about me?" Leaf asked.
"Go do something for now and after I'm done eating I'll treat you to anything you want." I said.
"You promise?"
"You know I will." I said walking towards a wall and jump on top of a roof. "But for now it's eating time."
Jade P.O.V
"We're going to be stuck here for a while." Lucy said looking out the window.
"And just when I got back." I said.
"I hope you don't think I caused this." If I remember her name right Juvia said.
"Trust me you're not the one annoying everybody." Gray said.
Our attention turned to Natsu who was snoring in his sleep.
"I think I figure out how to pass the time." Gray said standing up smiling taking out a black marker.
We watch as Gray draw cat whiskers on Natsu who was still sound asleep.
"I thought someone with your talent would go for something more creative then cat whiskers." Lucy said.
"Let me have a shot." I said standing up and taking Gray marker.
I proceed to draw him two black eyes and a silly mustache.
"How can he possibly sleep though that!" Lucy said surprised.
The second Lucy said that Natsu woke up.
"READY TO BRAWL!" Natsu yelled getting up. "I'LL TAKE EVERYBODY ON!"
"Wow shocker I should have know it been food or fighting." Lucy said.
"That's Natsu for you." I said. "Haven't change a bit."
"Look." Lucy said handing him a mirror.
"Okay who's the moron who was dumb enough to draw on my face." Natsu said after looking in the mirror.
"I was one of the so called morons who done that so you want to go." I said cracking my knuckles.
"Wait one of them?" Natsu asked trying his best to ignore me. He was always scared of me just like he is with Erza.
"Any minute now his tiny brain will remember the other man daring enough to do it." Lucy said.
"Hope you're hungry snowflake." Natsu said butting heads with Gray.
"Listen panda boy if you don't like the graffiti then you shouldn't have harass my ear drums with your bear snore." Gray said.
"You're going to wish I stay asleep." Natsu said before starting to fight with Gray.
"I feel like I should be stopping this." I said watching them fight however I turned my attention to Mira and Elfman leaving the guild. "They're going outside in this weather?"
"Do you know why they're going outside in this weather?" Lucy asked.
I decided to sit with them to find out what was going on.
"I was wondering the same thing." I said.
"Nope no clue." Levy said.
"It's the anniversary of Lisanna death coming up." Cana said.
"I heard that name." Lucy said.
"She was Mira and Elfman sister remember." Levy said. "They went on a mission two years back and she didn't make it back."
"Yeah Erza told me what happen." I said looking down.
"Now that I think about it every time the anniversary come around they spend a lot of time at the church." Levy said.
"Wow I had no idea." Lucy said.
"Nobody should have to go though something like that." I said.
They continued to talk but my attention was shifted yet again when I seen somebody walking though the gates of Fairy Tail. I walked up to see who it was and it was Leaf who was wet.
"Leaf?" I asked.
"Hey Jade." Leaf said trying to dry off.
"What were you doing out there?" I asked.
"Me and Zak were going to get something to eat but it started to rain so Zak left hoping to get some lightning."
"Lightning?" I asked.
"Didn't I tell you he's the lightning dragon slayer." Leaf said.
"Another dragon slayer?!" I said. "So he left you alone."
"No he told me to do something while I wait but I didn't make it here in time and now I'm wet." Leaf said.
"So Zak is out there?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Is he going to be okay?"
"He's been in worst storms."
"And made though it unscratched or without getting sicked?"
"Yep."
"Well come on I'll keep you company until he returns." I said.
However after saying that Leaf stomach growled.
"Can you get me something to eat?" Leaf asked.
"Sure come on."
Zak P.O.V
'I don't think that's normal.' I thought looking out into the sky.
I been out here for a while and I seen zero lightning but before I left I notice a hole in the sky and it was flashing.
"Something tells me that is not lightning." I said.
The lightning or whatever it was keep getting brighter and bigger before it started to shoot out. I looked down and notice things were starting to levitate
"What the hell!" I said looking around noticing the buildings were cover in light and evaporating into the hole.
The last thing I saw was giant light before I blacked out.
That's all for this chapter. Starting next chapter we're going straight into the Edolas arc and the poll is now up for Jade since I have no clue who to pair him up. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter and don't forget to review and favorite until then see you next chapter.
