A Chaotic New Mystery!
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE?!" Bandit 3 shouted in fear.
"THIS IS GUY'S A MONSTER?!" Bandit 17 cried before an explosion blew up behind him and the other blowing them away as they scream some more.
Not far behind from the bandits a certain black edgy figure is simply walking after the bandits, though more like walking on air with his rocket shoes and the way he's walking make seem like he's actually running with ease, feeling bored that the bandits aren't putting up much of a fight than he hoped.
As for what he's doing; Shadow is on a job requested by the villagers' Mayor to help stop some bandits who has been invading and stealing stuff from them for the past months and they desperate need of help. It has been a week since Shadow has joined Fairy Tail and has done a couple of smaller jobs, it was actually Makarov and Macao's idea thinking he can handle it, and hopefully not cause any destruction unlike Natsu. Shadow thought it would be a good chance to get out of town for a bit and maybe spread the good name of Fairy Tail too.
"Damn it, where did this guy com from?!" Bandit 8 asked panicking.
"He said that he's from that Fairy Tail guild, but I thought they all became weaklings for sometime now!" Bandit 7 said.
"Where the HELL did they find someone like him?" Bandit 19 asked.
"(I see even lowlife have heard of that?)" Shadow thought overhearing the bandits before throwing two Chaos Spears at them.
"(According to Makarov; the reason Fairy Tail became for seven years is because he and the other guild members who are consider the strongest in the guild disappeared along with the whole they were on, saved by the ghost of the First Guild Master of Fairy Tail. Not to mention they were also asleep in a frozen-like state that prevented them from aging.)" Shadow thought recalled the incident from the fromer old guild master.
"Damn fucker, don't mess with us!" Bandit 29 shouted firing magic lightning-bullets from the dual guns.
Shadow easily dodges some and deflect a few back at the gun-wielder and some other bandits zapping hard as the electric shock knocks them out cold, and sizzling like a cooked barbeque meal with the smoke coming from their bodies. Some other bandits tried blasting him with fire, wind and some magic blast, but they all fail to hit the black Hedgehog as he put up a forcefield to block the attacks with little effort and responds by firing some Chaos Spears.
Seeing the bandits are not worth his time using even half his power, he decided to end this quickly with his super speed knocking them all unconscious with one strike each, then he piles them all up and grab some ropes he got from the village tying them all tight.
"PLEASE?! Have mercy!" Bandit 28 begged.
(Village)
"Got them all accounted for, just as I promised." Shadow said, pointing his thumb at the whimpering bandits. All 30 bandits present.
"Thank you very much, young man. Our is safe now!" The Mayor thanked, bowing at Shadow.
"It's no problem, glad to of help." Shadow said getting the reward money from the assanit.
"It warms my heart now that the people will rest easy with the bandits taken care of, and it pleases me to see Fairy Tail getting to what it once was." The Mayor smiled.
"It take it you're a fan?" Shadow joked, the Mayor chuckles.
"Something like that, Fairy Tail have always known to be free-spirited bunch getting into trouble most of the time without realizing but they're a fun bunch." The Mayor stated his point of view of Fairy Tail.
"Yeah, they sure are." Shadow chuckled, couldn't agree more with the Mayor.
Shadow looks up to the peaceful blue sky wondering what kind of crazy adventure he'll be dragged in with Fairy Tail, this reminds him of the adventures he went through with Sonic and friends. Decided to home quicker than taking the train he use Chaos Control to teleport from the village all the way back to Magnolia in an instant.
(Later)
"Alright, now it's time to head home, let see how everyone is doing since I've been since yesterday." Shadow said to himself as he walks up the path towards the small guildhall.
"Hey, welcome back mister black!" A female voice called out.
Shadow turns his head a little to his right to see Cana sitting on a big rock while holding a big barrel of alcohol with one arm.
"Hey Cana, you doing okay?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, all's dandy and such thought I might enjoy the great outdoors for a bit." Cana said with a drunken tone.
"(I think it just an excuse for drinking more.)" Shadow thought.
"Well, I'm off to report my success to the master." Shadow said walking away, but stop when Cana grabs his arm.
"Ah, come on now, why don't you join me for a drink." Cana suggested, thinking Shadow should try to lighten up more.
"Maybe after I report to Macao." Shadow smirked as he walks away heading inside as Cana watches with a slight lustful look on her face.
"Damn, no matter how much I drink Shadow just won't get out of my head!" Cana said while hugging the barrel pretending to be Shadow.
"Man, I think I'm actually falling for him, even though he's only been in Fairy Tail for a week now!" Cana said as her cheeks blushes.
Meanwhile, Shadow make his way to Macao who's sitting next to his friend Wakaba as they are talking about somethings about themselves in their younger days and probably something that happened to them not too long ago.
"Master Macao." Shadow said, getting the Fourth Guild Master's attention.
"Hey Shadow, how was the job?" Macao asked.
"Great, the bandits have been dealt with and I got the reward." Shadow reported with a smirk.
"Nice, I knew you could handle, better than Team Natsu too!" Macao complicated and also mocked Natus' team a bit.
"Hey, we get the jobs done too!" Natsu shouted.
"That maybe so, but you also ended destroying most things around you and mostly come back empty-handed!" Macao pointed out.
"He got us there, Natsu." Happy said eating his fish, Natsu groans angry. Just because he destroys a few stuff sometimes on and out of the job doesn't mean anything, right?
Shadow smiles seeing everyone is having fun together with some talk and all, it reminds of his old friend back at his old home world like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Cream, and everyone else he knows they seem to be a little more than friends. He wonders how the others are doing right now with their daily lives, hangout and stopping Eggman from conquering the world, he's sure that everything is fine right now and he should enjoy his new life on Earthland.
"Hey Shadow, your pocket it glowing." Wakaba pointed at Shadow's back pocket.
Shadow look down to see the inside of his pocket is glowing green which can only mean that something is up with the Chaos Emerald, he took the green emerald out seeing it glowing a bit brighter.
"Whoa! What's going on?" A girl asked.
She's a rather young, petite teenage girl of a slender build who stands at a rather below-average height for her age. Her shoulder-length blue hair, which has eyebrow-length bangs, is normally tied up with a colorful bandana around her head. Her hair is wavy, wild look, with locks hanging down the sides of her face. She wears the orange attire that appears to be dresses and tank tops, both of which reveal the guild mark on her left scapula. Breasts sizes: B-cup.
"I don't know Levy, but I don't like it." The edgy guy said putting his arm in front of the girl named Levy.
The guy is a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead. He has red eyes with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes (acting as "eyebrows" of sorts), two on each side of his nose, and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. He wears a black color-scheme clothing of a black tunic that has a closed, light-grey opening running center of his torso, and wears a new grey belt, both without any studs. He also sports a black tattered scarf and a larger wing-like ornament that covers most of his right arm. He still retains his pants, gloves and boots.
"Let's try not to do anything reckless, Gajeel." A small black cat said. Wearing green shorts and carries a sword on his back with a rope. His guild tattoo is on his back in gray color.
"Panther Lily, let's be ready in case something weird happens." Gajeel said turning his right arm into a sword.
"Right." Panther Lily agreed, changing his form into a taller, muscular form with as his sword grew in sizes too.
"Hey Carla, what do you think it's going on with that weird jewel Shadow's holding?" Happy asked freaking out a lot.
"How should I know, Shadow knows more about the Chaos Emeralds longer than us!" Carla said annoy.
Shadow looks at the green Chaos Emerald sensing something going on, he concentrate his mind on the emerald to see what is it reacting to because he gets the weird feeling that it isn't something good. In his mind he sees nothing but patch black everywhere, not sure what the emerald is trying to show him until something suddenly appeared right in front of him, a pair of green eyes with red sclera for an instant and Shadow gasps out of the mindscape.
"What… what was that…?" Shadow asked panting a bit.
"Hey Shadow, you doing okay?" Gray asked concern.
"Are you hurt, maybe I can heal you." Wendy offered, hoping to help him.
Shadow took a moment to gather himself, taking some in and out breathing before looking at his guildmates.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Shadow reassured.
"Hey guys, what's up with the light show in the middle of the day?" A large man asked barging in.
He's a large, muscular man with tan colored skin, whose height causes him to tower over most of his fellow guild members. His long white hair is kept styled upwards in long, wavy spikes, his dark eyes possess no visible eyebrows and his rectangular, elongated face has a stitched scar running down its right side, crossing his right black Fairy Tail stamp is located on the left part of his neck. He wears a green jack-like shirt with yellow outlines, black pants with a light-brown belt, and brown shoes.
"Elfman, did you get all the georges?" Mira asked.
"Yeah, I got most of them but what about the weird light I saw from outside." Elfman asked.
"It was coming from Shadow Chaos Emerald, it seems whatever he saw must've frighten him a bit." Erza stated from what she can tell.
Everyone look at Shadow with worry looks in their eyes wondering if something happen to him, he just recently joined Fairy Tail fitting in quite well with everyone even though he sometimes prefers to be alone. They hope that whatever is troubling Shadow, they'll be there to help him all the way through as a family, which is what Fairy Tail is all about. Although, they don't really know about Shadow being from another world because Shadow doesn't want to tell them yet wanting to wait for the right moment.
"I'm not entirely sure, all I saw was darkness then suddenly there were these… eyes that somehow… I feel like I seen them before." Shadow wondered rubbing his chin with his finger.
"Do you think whatever you saw was dangerous?" Marakov asked with a serious tone, walking up to Shadow.
"Like I said, I don't know, but we should keep an eye out just in case." Shadow suggested, everyone agrees.
"(Perhaps it could be a warning for Shadow that something is coming for him, something from his old world.)" Makarov thought hoping Shadow will be ready to face this threat.
(Unknown Wasteland Location)
"Well, well, it looks like something very interesting just happened today." A deep, dark-eerie voice said evil-happy.
The person is standing on top of a broken down, ruin building that used to be a big castle as dark clouds are covering the sky and thunder noises echos all over the land, wind blowing hard as lightning bolts strikes down to the ground as the mysterious figure isn't bother by any of it.
"It would seem Shadow has somehow made his way to Earthland, fate must be in my favor for I can finally have my revenge." The dark man said clenching his fist.
Under the hood reveals his eyes from the flashing lights of the lightning bolts, pair of green eyes with red sclera, staring at the horizon with tensions as they glow a little brightly of dark-blue and purple color aura.
(Shadow's Apartment)
Sitting on the counter near Shadow's bed, the other six Chaos Emeralds starts glowing a bit like the one with Shadow almost like they're sensing something dangerous that's going to come soon.
