Up in the mountains, the guild known as White Eclipse rested about halfway up one. The guild was just as lively as Fairy Tail, with the constant up and downs as well. Reve Volver was face to face with Selene, whom he was having an argument here. "Selena, if you want to fight…" Reve said, scowling slightly at the teal haired mage before him.
"No thanks, REVEY," Selene replied, smirking to herself because she knew Reve hated being called that.
"Alright, outside, let's go," Reve said, pointing to the front door.
"Nah, Nami asked me to dance with her so…" Selene turned her back to Reve, starting to walk off.
"I didn't know we had chickens in White Eclipse," Reve replied, feeling as though his comment would strike a nerve.
"You should look in the mirror, you're bound to find one there!" Selene replied as she walked off.
"You…well…yeah?! Diamonds are stupid!" Reve replied; face palming at himself for that horrible comeback. Reve Volver is one of the two S class mages in White Eclipse. He is a Guns Requip mage, who boasts often about his aim, and sniping ability. Reve is usually a rude man, an asshole to those he knows hates him, and a tad less of one to those who do not. He has a cocky attitude, like most mages do, but he is able to back up his claims quite easily. Reve is the man in charge when the master is away. Reve defeated Freed Justine during the main part of Fairy Tail and White Eclipse's rivalry, making his record against Fairy Tail 1-0.
The female Reve was bantering with was Selene Marquise, the newest member of White Eclipse. Selene wore a black high-collared shirt with silver lining and one long silver sleeve, black denim shorts and gray boots; she also has a petite figure; she arrived to the guild about a month ago. Her magic is unique, as she is a Diamond Dragon Slayer. To her guild members, she usually has a tolerable attitude towards them, though she is closer to a few of the other members such as Luke, Michio, and Aira (to an extent). When around strangers, she avoids conversation as much as possible, and she keeps to herself.
"Pfft…" Takeru was snickering at the argument between Reve and Selene, finding Reve's last comeback laughable. Takeru usually secluded himself from the other guild members, keeping to himself quite a bit. Takeru is also a third generation Shadow Dragon Slayer, who did battle with Natsu at the beginning of the rivalry between White Eclipse and Fairy Tail. Though it was a close battle, Natsu was the victorious one.
"Oh, let's just calm down and have some fun!" Nami replied, grinning widely as she was dancing to some random music. Nami was the younger twin between her and Taya. Name wore black shirts and a gray shirt, dancing around the guild with bare feet as she kept her hair tied in a ponytail. Namiyaka, or Nami for short, uses light magic; though she may not look powerful, she's actually one of the stronger mages in the guild.
"I am calm!" Reve replied, obviously a bit irritated. A few minutes later, Kuro Crane Waiston Tunundra and Zalen Castle stepped into the guild, just returning from a job.
"Hey everyone!" Kuro exclaimed, waving around the reward from the job in the air; "We're back!" The trio was also a part of the original White Eclipse guild. Kuro Crane is a Fire Make mage, Zalen Castle is a building mage, the guild's repairman as he could fix large amounts of damage to the building in under five minutes. Waiston is an Ice Dragon Slayer, always wearing the jacket his dragon, Tunundra gave him before vanishing.
"KUROOO!" Nami yelled from across the guild, waving at the red haired mage as he walked inside.
"NAMIII," Kuro waved back excitedly, rushing inside the guild.
"How'd the job go?" Nami asked.
"Great! It was easy!" Kuro said happily.
On the couch, a male with black hair, black shirt, and black pants was snoring away, oblivious to everything happening. This male is Michio Strithe; also known as the Illusion. One of the early members of the guild, but he does not talk much to anyone. Luke most of the other members, he is rather close to Luke. Michio uses Illusion magic, hence the nickname. Michio has defeated two of Fairy Tail's mages, Elfman Strauss and Freed Justine. "ZZZZZZZ…."
Lastly, of the members that was present in the guild, the Copycat himself walked in, Luke Cloud. Luke was arguably the most infamous member of White Eclipse, having clashed with Natsu, Lucy three times, Gray, and Juvia Lockser. Luke came close to defeating Juvia and Natsu, but he defeated Gray, and Lucy three times, and their relationship during those three battles is something nearly everyone in both guilds is aware of. "Anyone feel that shaking a few minutes ago?" Luke asked, rubbing his head.
"What shaking?" Zalen asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Kinda like a tremor?" Luke shrugged, "I guess it was just me…Where are the others?"
"Taya's out on a job," Nami replied. "Jaxon is still out training, and so is Arc."
"So much training…yeesh…I should really catch up," Luke shrugged, walking over to the fireplace. "Ah…warm." He sighed contently, enjoying the relaxation of the fire crackling…until Selene tackled him from behind and put him in a headlock. "GAH!"
"Got'cha!" Selene smirked, keeping a tight hold on the copy mage.
"Is this payback for the other day or something!?" Luke groaned, flailing around to get himself free, only it was to no avail.
"Yup," Selene merely nodded, smirking at her victory.
"Well…" Luke merely allowed his body temperature to increasing, the heat causing Selene to release him almost immediately.
"Ow!" Selene waved her hands to cool them off, yelping when Luke turned the tables to tackle and pin her down to the floor.
"I win," he said in a mocking tone.
"Oh?" Selene smirked; pulling her head back as far as she could before slamming her head into Luke's causing him to fall onto his back.
"OW…!" The next thing Luke knew he was pinned down with Selene on top of him, the Diamond mage smirking towards him.
"So cute…!" Nami whispered, giggling.
A male with black hair, blue eyes, and black pants walked out of the infirmary, purposely bumping in to Takeru with a smirk on his face. Takeru turned to the male, glaring. "You wanna go!?"
The male smirked, giving off a snicker as he walked off towards the front doors. "LET'S GO!"
"There they go…" Reve smirked lightly, "Zain and Takeru…"
"RAH!" Takeru leapt from his chair and tackled Zain out the front doors and into the snow, starting to throw wild punches at the mage. Zain let out a yelp of surprise as Takero tackled him, rolling around in the snow with Takeru. "YOU SMELL LIKE WOMAN'S PURFUME!" Takeru yelled out.
"YOU SMELL LIKE YOU CRAWLED OUT OF A CAVE AFTER SOMETHING DIED IN IT!" Zain replied, throwing wild punches at Takeru as they rolled around in the snow.
"THE ONLY THING THAT DIED AROUND ME WAS YOUR MOM WHEN I KILLED HER IN BED!" Takeru shouted, aiming to throw a fist at Zain, but before he could, the two fell down the side of the mountain.
"There they go…" Waiston chuckled, waving to the pair as they rolled down the mountain.
From the balcony, an old man watched the events of the guild. "It's nosy as ever." This was Calium, the first guild master of White Eclipse. In terms of age, he may have been older than even Makarov. There was only a faint smile on his lips as he watched his damn brats mess around. But that smile soon faded when he glanced up to the sky. "Something's coming."

Several members of the Magic Council were in a meeting, discussing a recent, yet important issue. The chair of the Council, Gran Doma, was highly upset. "Tell me, have there been any recent reports about that incident nearly a month ago?"
"No," a Councilman replied, shaking his head. "Absolutely nothing, we only have the location of the laboratory the subjects came from."
"How many subjects were there again?" Doma asked, eying the male who spoke.
"There were six in total, sir! We have four, and they are currently in custody still.
"What about the fifth and sixth one?" Doma asked his gaze still on the male.
"W-We don't know…."
"There was a woman, but she killed most of the people there. We have no idea where she's gone. As for the little girl, she might be the most pressing one..."
Another council member spoke up, "All we know is that the girl is incredibly dangerous, and she could bring the end to many lives if we don't find her soon."
"I assume there are no leads to find this girl…" Doma sighed softly, looking out into space, "Look anyway, we have to find that girl before she causes the entire country of Fiore problems."
There was a councilman who took a loooong drag of his cigarette. Dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, a slow smirk drawing itself on his face. "You had a chance to shut everything down sooner. But you all opted to take the 'wait and see' approach. You took too long to take action."
"Councilman Kemuri, you know why we couldn't do that. Everything that was presented about that building when we first caught wind of it was noted as a school of some kind." Lahar told the councilman named Kemuri. "We had no just cause for an investigation."
Kemuri chuckled quietly to himself. But he did respond to Lahar's statement. "And look where that's gotten us. Four damaged kids, a monster on the loose, and a bioweapon that nobody can locate. So I propose we double our efforts to locate that little girl first and foremost. That is the most pressing issue for us right now."
"What of the woman? We cannot just..." Doranbolt began to speak.
"We saw the same file. We know what the biggest priority target." Kemuri stated, putting out his cigarette in an ashtray nearby. Nobody enjoyed his attitude, but he did make sense most of the time. "If we fail to locate that girl before he does, it'll be Fiore on the line. We're in the clear so far, because nobody outside of us knows about the specifics. The Monster can wait, but a small search party should be enough so we have the effort put in."
"Kemuri's idea does sound the most rational." Doma said with a slow nod. They had to tackle the biggest issue before it blew up into something that the Council wouldn't be able to control. Time was not on their side.
