AN: So there was a pretty good response to last chapter, I was always surprised by how few crossovers like this there were, so I decided to do one. Ha one question which I would just like to answer here, someone accused me of making Percy OC. To that person and others who have the same thought I will just say a person is shaped by their experiences. As soon as some changes events from canon then the characters you are writing about are OC. This means that every character in every fanfic is OC unless you are doing a complete rehash of canon events. Hope that helps.
But anyway I was inspired so I decided to get this chapter out while a few of my other stories are with my Betas and whilst I work on an update for another story called Limitless.
So yes I hope you all enjoy it and leave a comment or a review. I have the story planned out to the Tartarus Arc (And yes I will be having fun with that).

(Last Time)
"So cool" Lucy said in awe as she looked over at the powerful S-Class wizard, one who was said to be on a par with even the most powerful of the Wizard Saints, although that was all supposition as he had never accepted a position as a Wizard Saint. A frown suddenly crossed Lucy's face as she heard Gray's tone when talking about Perseus. "Do you not like him or something?"
Gray shrugged at that uncaringly. "I don't dislike him." Seeing the look on her face he decided to expand his statement. "When we were growing up at Fairy Tail he was the man, he was this super cool and strong guy, this role model we all aspire dot be like. He never had much time for us though, he never took much interest unless you were Laxus, Mira or Erza, those three he took an interest in, training and mentoring them so they all became S-Class, for the rest of us though…
Lucy frowned as she heard the bitterness and slight sadness in Gray's voice.

"So what are you doing here Percy?" Erza asked as she released the older man, a smile on her face as she looked up at him. "I thought you were on a Decade Quest?"
"The quest is complete. I went back to the Guild to see everyone. But was told on my way here that you had been sent on some dangerous mission to take on Oración Seis, and when I heard who they sent to support you, well I decided to take a detour and provide you some reinforcement."" Percy said with a fond smile down at Erza, conscious as he did that she was still holding onto his hand with both of hers.
Carefully extracting himself he turned to the rest of the gather wizards, noting a few familiar faces as he did, Jura Neekis and Ichiya. Giving the two a nod and receiving two respectful nods in reply Percy scanned the room, making eye contact with everyone there before saying. "Hope you don't mind if I join you?"

Chapter 2
( - )
(Blue Pegasus Mansion)
"You are more than welcome." Erza replied with a smile, as she looked up at the youthful looking man that had once been her mentor, and was now her friend and comrade.
Percy gave Erza a quick smile at that before he looked to the other Guilds, his gaze meeting both Ichiya's and Jura's, the two lead wizards for the Blue Pegasus representatives and the Lamia Scale party. Somehow he didn't think the young girl would have much of an issue with him offering the group a hand.
Jura nodded respectfully in response, having met Percy before he was more than aware how of strong and honourable a mage he was, and like the man had said, only a fool would dismiss aid when it was freely given. "It's an honour to meet you again Perseus. With you on our side, we have a markedly greater chance of victory."
Reaching out Percy clasped hands with Jura, a crooked grin on his face as he looked up at the much taller and bulkier man. "It is good to see you too old friend, it looks like you've gotten older."
"You've not." Jura replied with a deep chuckle, shaking his head as he did so. "In fact it looks like you haven't aged a day since last we met?"
"I am just well preserved." Percy replied with a laugh as he released Jura's hand, and instead looked down at the familiar intricate metal badge the powerful Lamia Scale wizard had pinned to the front of his tribal like garb. "So you've become a Wizard Saint?"
Jura's stoic face broke into a smile as he heard that, looking down at the symbol denoting him as a Wizard Saint with pride. "Yes, just recently I was offered the newly demoted Jose Porla's position."
"Oh yeah I heard about that, that Jose Porla always was a bit of a shit, and Phantom Lord… arseholes every one of them." Percy replied with a chuckle. "So you got his position did you, looks like you've gotten a bit tougher than you were the last time we met."
"Yes, who knows one day I may even be a match for you." Jura replied with a good natured chuckle
Lyon's eyes widened as he heard that. Jura was the strongest wizard in their Guild, and certainly the strongest wizard that Lyon had ever met. To hear him speaking in such a way to this strange man, one who Lyon did not recognise, not that that was saying much considering he had never really looked into other strong mages before joining Lamia Scale.
Looking at Jura with a flummoxed expression on his face, one was mirrored by Sherry who like Lyon was not entirely sure who this handsome looking man was, not that Sherry was about to complain about it.
"Jura who is this man?" Lyon asked as he looked suspiciously at Percy.
Seeing an opportunity to get one over on his old rival Lyon, Gray decided to speak up for Perseus, a slightly superior look on his face as he turned to look at Lyon. "This is Perseus, the God of Fairies, you might have heard of him. He is quite the renowned wizard, quite legendary in some circle, he is also one of the strongest wizards in Fiore?"
"Yeah he is easily strong enough to become a Wizard Saint if he wanted too; I bet he could probably take on old man Gildart's too, I would love to see those two fight!" Natsu added in with a wide grin on his face, punching his fists together in front of him as he excitedly looked up at Percy.
The man might not have had much to do with Natsu when he was a kid, but he wasn't a kid any longer. He was the Salamander, an A-Class wizard, and the first chance he got he was going to challenge Percy to a fight. He did after all want to test himself, if he ever wanted to make it to S-Class and find his missing father, Igneel, then he would need to get strong, and the best way to get strong was to fight with other stronger people.
"That guy's on the same level as Jura?!" Lyon asked skeptically, having never heard of Percy before, which again wasn't' that surprising considering the way he isolated himself from most of the world so he could hone his ice magic. "He doesn't look like much to me…"
A dark expression passed over Erza's face as she heard Lyon's comment about Percy, an expression that had Lucy, Natsu and Gray all quivering. It was an expression that they had very rarely seen before, an expression that showed that Erza was pissed.
Before she could say anything however, Jura turned around to address his Guild Member, after having overheard the conversation happening behind him. "Unfortunately you are incorrect Lyon. I'm only the tenth strongest Wizard Saint, or the weakest I should say. Perseus although not a Wizard Saint himself is stronger than I by magnitudes. In fact, he's the strongest mage here. From memory I believe he has been offered the position of Wizard Saint many times over the years and he has refused every time."
"If he was offered such an esteemed position, why on earth did he refuse it?" Lyon asked his brow scrunched up in confusion.
Jura turned to look at Percy as he heard that, having wondered the same thing himself before. Around the room those listening in from Lamia Scale, Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus and Cait Shelter all leaned in to hear as well, after all it was a valid question and one that they were interested to hear the answer too.
Percy seeing the attention on him just shrugged before replying. "It just felt like you had a lot of responsibility and not much in the way of perks."
It was a disappointing answer to be sure, and one that rang false with the few that new Percy well.
Ignoring that for now, Percy casually rested his left hand on the pommel of his sword as he looked over to Jura. "I am sure you are underselling yourself Jura, it has been many years since we last saw each other, you were barely twenty at the time, I am sure you have become a lot more skilled and powerful, you were certainly skilled in the fight we had."
Jura chuckled at that before reply. "I am sure I have too, but the fact remains that when last we fought, I was crushed, I never stood a chance."
"Wait a moment" Hibiki from Blue Pegasus spoke up a frown on his face as he looked between Percy and Jura in confusion. If you two last fought and met each other when Jura was twenty, and he said you haven't aged a day. How have you not aged in over ten years, what is the secret to your youthful looks and how can I learn it?"
Both Ren and Eve also looked beseechingly to Percy at that.
"Enough Men." Ichiya spoke up in his deep silky voice, as the man made his presence known once again. Turning to Percy, Ichiya took a large sniff, before saying. "Your parfum is as potent ever before. The wild and uncontrolled parfum of the sea, mixed with the cold and empty parfum that even now I cannot place. Still you intrigue me Perseus."
Percy eyed Ichiya warily at that, the man always made Percy feel uncomfortable and not just because he was a very creepy and odd looking man. No, it was the way his scent based magic worked, it gave the man a sense of smell greater than any Percy had ever heard of before, so much so that he could literally smell the divine power on Percy, not that Ichiya knew that that was what he was smelling.
"You've not changed have you Ichiya." Percy said dryly, as he took a step away from the orange haired man, not wanting the cloying man to touch him. "I take it you have no problem with me tagging along on this adventure?"
"Not at all, I welcome it in fact." Ichiya replied grandly before turning to look at the Trimens. "Men take note and learn from Perseus, you will find no better role model in the art of battle than the God of Fairies."
"Yes Maestro!" The three young men chorused, as they gave a short and respectful bow to the Ace of their Guild.
Percy rolled his eyes at that, sharing an amused and resigned smile with Erza as he did so.
"Great than we are agreed, as the Wizard Saint here I give you the floor Jura." Percy said as he moved out of the spotlight, leaving the startled looking Wizard Saint once again in control of the room, as Percy instead stood beside young Wendy at the side, with Erza accompanying him.
"Hello young Wendy." Percy said as he smiled down at the girl next to him, seeing how nervous she was being surrounded by much older and more experience wizards he decided to what he could to make her feel welcome.
"Erm h-hello" Wendy replied nervously as she looked up at Percy, somewhat star struck by all the famous wizards in the room with her.
Looking down at her with a smile, Percy's eyes suddenly sharpened as he felt the magical power emanating from the girl. After having met a number of dragon slayer wizards over the years, including Natsu and Laxus, Percy had learnt to recognize the signs.
"I have to admit I am surprised to meet another dragon slayer, wielders of that lost magic are few and far between nowadays. It certainly is an honour to meet one, and one so young too?" Percy said kindly, getting the attention of Erza and the other Fairy Tail wizards as he did so. "Could I ask what element you specialize in?"
"Ermm, I-I am a 'Sky Dragon Slayer'." Wendy replied with a blush as she looked up at Percy in surprise.
"Ahh, 'Sky Magic' a truly lost magic then, one that focuses on control the flow of the wind, enchantments and the art of healing, you were truly blessed to learn such a magic." Percy said with a genuine smile as he saw how the girl went bright red at his compliment.
"Wait a second she is a dragon slayer!" Natsu said loudly, gaining the attention of the rest of the room as he strode over to Wendy. "Do you know where my father is, do you know where Igneel has gone to?"
"W-whose Igneel?" The flustered Wendy replied, taken aback by how loud Natsu was being. She easily recognized him as a dragon slayer, but at the same time she didn't know what he was talking about.
"He's my dad!" Natsu replied loudly.
"Igneel is the dragon that raised Natsu and taught him 'Fire Dragon Slayer magic'." Erza added in, a frown on her face as she grabbed Natsu by the ear and yanked downwards. "And you really should learn some manners, you shouldn't shout at someone like that."
"Oww Erza!" Natsu cried out as he rubbed the ear Erza had yanked.
"Ermm sorry Natsu, but I have never met an Igneel." Wendy said uncertainly.
"Oh…" Natsu replied disappointedly.
Wendy opened her mouth, about to apologize for having not seen his father, but was stopped by a Percy, as he put a firm hand on her shoulder.
"There is no need to apologize Wendy; after all, the dragons seem to have a trend of disappearing and abandoning their progeny on July 7th of the year X777." Percy said, "I take it that is what happened with your dragon?"
"Yes, Grandina left me and I don't know where she went." Wendy replied quietly, looking down at her feet as she did so, those around her could tell she was missing her mother.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much Wendy, I am certain you will see her again before the end." Percy replied as he gave her shoulder another light squeeze before releasing it.
Wendy gave him a hopeful smile as he said that.
Carla, Wendy's cat however looked less pleased.
"You brute, don't you dare talk to or touch Wendy again!" The small cat said a she looked disapprovingly up at Percy, before glowering at Natsu as well. "And you! How dare you shout at a little girl like that, if you are going to act like an animal you should go outside!"
"Shush little cat." Percy said dismissively before he completely ignored Carla, much to her outrage and Wendy's embarrassment as she tried to stop Carla from making a scene. The little white cat's anger only seemed to grow, as Happy, Natsu's cat decided that now was the opportune moment to introduce himself and offer her a fish…. Their first meeting was less than stellar.
Clearing his throat loudly, to announce that the meeting between the four Wizarding Guilds was about to begin, Jura waited until the room was silent, gazing around sternly as he did and making sure that everyone present was listening.
"Now that everyone is now present, Ichiya will you do the honours of informing everyone of our mission?" Jura said as he waved for Ichiya to come forward. The two of them as the highest ranking wizards on the mission, had been in communication since the mission was first announced and the alliance suggested. This meant that the two of them had already been discussing a strategy to make the best use of their resources, resources that have now increased thanks to the participation of Perseus.
Ichiya nodded at that, before he waltzed into the centre of the room, giving the members of his Guild a significant look as he did so. Taking this as their cue, the Trimens quickly brought over a miniature stage from the corner of the room for Ichiya to stand on, they then took control of the spotlights they had used before and used them to shine on Ichiya as he stood on his stage in the center of the room.
The Parfum wizard gave a brief dramatic pose, a noble expression on his face, before finally explaining the details of the mission they had been given, and of the fact that Blue Pegasus with input from Jura had created a plan.
Rolling his eyes, Percy and the rest of the wizards waited for the pouting ponce to get on with it, in the end though a guilty expression crossed his face, before he announced that he first needed the bathroom.
Rolling his eyes, as Ichiya once again fell short of Percy's expectations he instead started to once again engage Erza in conversation, catching up on what she had been doing since he left. Including her many recent missions, and the formation of the new Wizarding team she had joined, with Natsu, Lucy and Gray.
It was good; Percy thought that she had made such bonds. He had previously been worried that she was becoming too reliant on him, and had been worried that his leaving for the Decade Mission would negatively impact her. But it looked like his absence had done her some good, she was stronger and more independent than before, similar to how Laxus and Mira his other two former students were, he was proud of her.
Moments later the short stocky mage returned with a series of spins and sparkles in classic Ichiya fashion. He then went onto explain why Oracion Seis was here in the Woodsea forest, apparently there was a powerful magic nearby, long ago sealed away by an ancient civilization.
"The name of the magic is Nirvana. Its magic is so dangerous that the people who created had no other choice, but to seal it away. There was no other information regarding it." Ichiya said outlining the basics of the mission for all those present.
Percy clicked his tongue in annoyance as he heard that, he didn't like going into a situation blind, so far what he had heard on this Nirvana was vague, its function could be anything. His sentiments were also shared by Erza as well seeing as how the crimson haired mage scowled as she heard the lack of information.
"The reason Oración Seis has gathered in the Woodsea is to get their hands on Nirvana." Hibiki continued, taking over from Ichiya as he too had been clued in on the plan beforehand by Ichiya. "Although we have more wizards on our side than their six, each of those wizards is powerful enough to potentially take out an entire Guild on their own."
A glowing, yellow keyboard and screen manifested in front of Hibiki, the Blue Pegasus member having started using his 'Archive Magic' as he began to type rapidly across the keys. Six screens soon appeared in the air around the slim wizard, each of which displayed a different person.
"These are the most recent pictures that we have been able to get of the members of Oración Seis. These are our enemies."Hibiki continued as he gestured to the surrounding screens.
The first image showed a picture of a wild looking man, in a long white coat. The man had a wicked smirk on his face, spiky red hair and tanned skin. The most distinct detail of the image was the large purple snake coiled around him.
"This wizard is known as Cobra; he uses some kind of poison magic and has a poisonous snake as a familiar."
The next image depicted a slim man in a dark jumpsuit and black shades; the man's most prominent feature was the large yellow mohawk he had on his unusually sharp and angular face.
"This wizard is known as Racer, he is thought to use speed magic."
The next wizard was a very large corpulent man, wearing a dark outfit; the man had long red hair and unusually blocky features.
"This man is called Hot Eye, a powerful earth magic user and a criminal already suspected of wiping out an entire military unit for money, he is one of the more dangerous of Oración Seis's members.
The next member of the Dark Guild that Hibiki talked about was quite different to the others. She was a young woman wearing a white dress made entirely of bird feathers. The woman had silky white hair and had her chest partially revealed as she smiled alluringly to the camera.
"This one's named Angel, but don't let her looks fool you… she'll be the death of anyone who tries to stand in her way. Her magic is one of the ones we do not actually know about yet. Though I think it would be safe to assume that she is as dangerous as the rest of her group."
The next image showed the picture of a sleeping man, who was sat on a flying carpet…. The young man had shaggy black hair that completely obscured his features.
"There's practically no information on this man except his name, Midnight."
The final image displayed a dark skinned man with white hair and multiple black tattoos crisscrossing his face and chest, in his hand he carried a wooden staff with a skull on it.
"This is the man behind it all and the leader of Oracion Seis, his name is Brain, a former Magical Researcher for the Council, he is said to know multiple magics, so he is the one you have to be the most cautious around."
"I don't get it what is the big deal? Six of them against all of us, it will be almost tooeasy…" Natsu stated confidently a grin on his face as he looked around the room, expecting the rest of the mages to share his confidence.
"Once again, despite the fact that we have the numbers advantage, we shouldn't underestimate them. If all goes according to plan, however, then we should be able to stop them from obtaining Nirvana." Hibiki stated a slight frown on his face as Natsu ignored what had been said before; it seemed the pink haired dragon slayer didn't understand the power these six wizards possessed.
With Natsu's question answered and his brief explanation and summary of the Guild they would be facing finished, Hibiki turned to face the rest of the people in the room.
"Our mission is to use our advantage in numbers to defeat Oración Seis. However, we will not simply be just fighting them directly." Ichiya said taking over from Hibiki once the young man had finished his presentation. "All we have to do is find their base of operations and then fight and route the Guild, forcing them to retreat to their base."
Natsu's brow rose in confusion. "Their base of operations?"
"Ah, that's right." Ren said as he realised that not everyone in the room had been fully briefed on the exact details of the plan before hand. "We've conjectured that they must have set up a temporary base within the Woodsea as they search for Nirvana."
"And once we find it, we will use our Guild's pride and joy, Christina, our Guild's magical bomber to wipe them off the face of this earth." Ichiya finished. "It is however possible that Christina might be grounded. This is why a brief summary of each person magic would be useful if our four Guilds are to work as one cohesive unit and fight the Dark Wizards. "
Percy frowned slightly as he heard that, but he decided to let it go after all Ichiya did have a point by knowing the other wizards abilities it would make it easier to collaborate in a fight. Besides just because you knew the type of magic a person had did not mean you would know their spells or capabilities so it was quite harmless giving that information to allies.
Looking up he saw that Ichiya was looking expectantly at Percy. It appeared he was supposed to be the first one to reveal his abilities.
Shrugging Percy gave them a brief outline of what he could do; barely scratching the surface of his true capabilities, after all these years he had learned to keep some things to himself, you never know when you might need to pull out a trump card. "My magic is mainly based on water, though I am capable of using some of the other elements like wind, earth and lightning."
As he said it was a very brief summary not even touching on his most powerful abilities, as quite frankly they did not need to know that.
"I use 'Earth Magic'." Jura spoke up next with a nod of his head to Ichiya, accepting his logic behind the request. It appeared that Jura like Percy had decided to give a brief overview of what he can do, smart, it builds trust but it doesn't give too much information that could be potentially be used against you, after all you never know who might be listening. With that said he turned to Lyon.
"'Ice MakeMagic'" Lyon shrugged not sounding that enthusiastic, but contributing anyway.
"I use 'Archive Magic', a support type magic but it does have some offensive and defensive spells." Hibiki said with a nod of his head as he and his fellow gave their contributions.
"I use 'Air Magic'." Ren answered with a shrug.
"'Snow Magic' is my specialty." Eve said with a grin.
"I use a magic called 'Doll Attack Magic'." Sherry said as she aimed her hand at the rug on the floor, which suddenly came to life and wrapped itself around her. "I am able to turn anything into a doll and use it to fight."
Ichiya who had so far been listening, nodding along as he heard each wizards magic, the slightest of smirks playing around his face, as he saw the attention on him he decided to contribute. "I use my patented 'Perfume Magic'."
"I use 'Re-quip Magic' and have a large variety of magical armours and weapons." Erza answered from next to Percy, following Percy's lead like the rest of the group seemed to have done.
"'Ice Make Magic'" Gray said as he looked over at Lyon, the two of them frowning at the other. It appeared their rivalry was still as strong as it was when they were both studying under Ur.
"I use 'Fire Dragon Slayer Magic'." Natsu said with a grin as he lit his fists on fire and slammed them together in front of him.
"Um, I can summon Celestial Spirits, so I guess I use 'Celestial Spirit Magic'." Lucy said as she idly played with the Celestial gate keys she had attached to her belt.
"I use 'Sky Dragon Slayer Magic'." Wendy answered meekly, as she looked around at the others, that meekness turned into a slight smile as she saw the reassuring looks Perseus, Jura and Erza sent her.
"Well we seem to have a potent mix of powerful magic's in the group, now more than ever I am confident we can win."Ichiya spoke up as the last of them revealed their magic a slight smirk on his face; before with a nod of his head he suddenly struck a dramatic pose before saying. "So now with our plan in place it is time for us to go forth and vanquish Oración Seis!"
"Hell yeah!" Natsu shouted excitedly no longer able to contain his eagerness for the upcoming fight as he barreled out the mansion, fire streaming after him as he continued to shout out challenges. "I am all fired up!"
Percy rolled his eyes as he saw that, to be fair though he was in no position to really judge. He could remember how reckless and headstrong he was in his youth; he had once run off to join a quest that he was expressly forbidden from joining, the quest had been to find and free the Goddess of the Moon, Artemis. It had ended with him fighting the Titan Atlas, a friend of his Zoe dying and him being forced to hold up the sky whilst Artemis forced Atlas under it. Suffice to say as he grew older and more experienced he had learned from the mistakes of his past and had become a better person for it.
Natsu it appeared hadn't grown up or learned anything since the last time Percy saw him two years ago, giving Erza a commiserating look Percy said. "It appears Natsu hasn't grown up much in my absence."
Erza let out a sigh as she rubbed her forehead irritably. "Sometime he just doesn't think. I doubt he even knows what the plan is, he probably was so excited he didn't even listen!"
"Oi hot head wait up!" Gray shouted as he chased after Natsu, with Lucy following after him shouting at them to both slow down. Lyon and Sherry both went next; Lyon chasing after his rival Gray the sense of competition already growing within him, with Sherry following for a similar reason, only her rival was the busty blonde Lucy, who she had fought with some months ago on Galuna Island.
After that the rest of the alliance began to flood out of the doors chasing after Natsu, all sense of decorum or propriety gone as they all seemed to deem Natsu's charge as a challenge and had decided to take him up on said challenge.
This left Percy, Erza, Jura, Ichiya, Wendy and the two flying cats behind in the Guild, with them being the only ones not to be caught up in the excitement.
Looking over to Percy and seeing that he didn't seem too bothered that the majority of the wizards in their alliance had just run out into the wild yonder, chasing after a fire breathing, battle obsessed dragon slayer.
"Aren't you concerned about them running off?"Erza asked a note of curiosity in her voice.
"Not particularly, they are all grown and experienced wizards, which is no doubt why they were selected for this mission in the first place. If they get into any trouble out there, I am confident they will be able to deal with it themselves, or at least hold on long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Though I hope they do realise that the enemies won't show up just because they want them to," Percy said as he rolled his eyes, knowing they wouldn't get far and that they would be able to catch up to them, they weren't stupid enough to try and take on the entirety of Oración Seis by themselves after all, although Natsu….
"Should we go after them?" Wendy suddenly asked looking up at Percy and Erza, both of whom had been the most supportative to her since she arrived, both of whom she had decided to tag along with.
"I should think not, you don't want to get mixed up with ruffians like them Wendy!" Carla spoke up, ignoring yet another attempt by Happy to engage her in conversation.
"Hmm, I see no reason why we shouldn't stick to the original plan," Percy said in response as he casually rested his left hand on the hilt of the sword sheathed at his waist, his other hand absentmindedly scratching the back of his head. "If we call in the airship I am certain we will be able to catch up with the rest of them quite quickly."
"You are indeed correct Perseus!" Ichiya said with a nod of his head. "However Oración Seis is one of three the members of the Balam Alliance, it is likely that the Woodsea forest is crawling with Dark Wizarding Guilds that Oración Seis controls. After all it is common for all three main Guilds to have many subsidiary Guilds underneath them. Perhaps it would be best for you and your team to pursue them while Jura and I contact the airship to make sure it meets up with you and then we'll catch up with the rest of you. We wouldn't want the rest of the group getting into any trouble; after all we will need all the help we can get to take down a Guild like Oración Seis."
Perseus frowned as he heard that, once again he understood Ichiya's logic, but something just wasn't right. Ichiya was a strong enough wizard but he wasn't usually this logical or this insightful. Normal he was all flare and no depth. Then again it had been a few years since he last met the man and people change a lot with time, maybe he was just being overly suspicious. With a nod of his head to both Jura and Ichiya, Percy turned on his heel, his dusty black coat flapping behind him as he headed for the open door to the mansion, Erza, Wendy, Happy and Carla following behind him.
"Don't be too long, because as you said we don't know just how many Dark Wizards will be in the forest supporting Oración Seis. I would want either group to get overwhelmed." Percy called behind him as he left the mansion at a casual walk, leaving both Jura and Ichiya alone behind him as he did so.
( - )
Soon after the group left Ichiya used a communication lacrima to call in Christina. With that done the two S-Class level mages also left Blue Pegasus's mansion, both of them trekking through the foliage on alert for any sign of hostility as they went to where Christina was going to stop.
"This place truly is amazing, wouldn't you agree Ichiya?" Jura asked as he looked around at the dense forest, taking note of all the unique fauna and flora in the area.
"I would agree, Jura. The parfum of nature is strong in this place." Ichiya said in his deep silky voice, as he made a show inhaled deeply. "So, Jura is what you said before true?"
"Which part Ichiya?" Jura asked as he turned to look at the little man in confusion.
"That despite you being a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, Perseus is stronger than you?" Ichiya asked.
The bald mage blinked at that question in surprise, before a brief frown crossed his face. Ichiya had met Percy before; he should know how strong the older wizard was.
"Yes he is. I may be a member if the Ten Wizard Saints but like I said before, I am the weakest of the ten. The power gap between myself and people like Master Makarov, Former Guild Master Jose, the Four Gods of Ishval and Perseus is much too great to even consider me a threat to them." Jura replied.
Ichiya nodded at that a smirk came on his face, until he heard about Perseus, his expression darkened at that.
"But even so you're a threat to us." Ichiya said as moved closer to the bald Wizard Saint. Ichiya drew a red vial from his coat pocket and removed the cork.
Jura stopped walking a frown on his face as he turned to look at Ichiya in confusion.
"Perfume Magic: Paralyzing Parfum." Ichiya said as he blew the vapours from his red vial at Jura.
Jura's eyes widened as the red stream of vapor rose from the vial, even as Ichiya shoved it in his face. The Wizard Saint's body then convulsed before freezing as the muscles became taut. Jura fell to the ground and looked up at Ichiya's face which now bore an uncharacteristically vicious smirk, his eyes widening as he realised he should have acted on his earlier suspicions.
"Ichiya... No… who are you?" Jura forced out, his voice coming out strained as he tried to fight off the effects of Ichiya's magical 'parfum'.
Jura's eyes widened as he saw Ichiya suddenly explode into a puff of smoke to reveal two tiny, blue creatures. Gem and Mini both of which were Celestial Spirits, bound to the Gate of the Twins, both of whom began hopping around the clearing gleefully as they celebrated incapacitating Iron Rock Jura.
"Did we do good Angel?" Gem one of the spirits asked as it looked into the undergrowth.
Letting out a groan Jura's eyes looked to the side as a shadow slowly covered his form. Angel, the long, white haired member of Oración Seis stood before the Wizard Saint. One of her hands on her hips whilst the other hand twirled the golden key for Gem and Mini around her finger. The beautiful woman had a satisfied smirk on her face as she looked down at the incapacitated Wizard Saint.
"Oh now look what we have here. A poor lost mage out alone in the deep dark woods." Angel said mockingly before she turned to look at her spirits smile on her face. "You two did very good."
"Where is... Ichiya?" Jura growled out feebly. "What have you done to him?"
"Oh that joke of a wizard is probably still unconscious and tied up back in the mansion. Gem and Mini did such a good job beating up the little lecher, he didn't put up much of a fight, though I guess the two of them did catch him with his pants down." Angel said with a faint laugh as she though back on how the two spirits had ambushed the wizard in the toilet.
"Yeah he was gross!" Gem said a look of disgust on its face as it continued to happily bounce up and down.
"Really gross and he smelled." Mini added in gleefully.
Angel rolled her eyes as she saw their childish antics, before she performed a forced closure. The twins vanished in a flash of golden light, waving goodbye to the bald Wizard Saint and their user as they did. Angel quickly focused her attention back on Jura.
"Ichiya is only unconscious…? Why did you not kill him… when you had the chance?" Jura groaned out as he felt the effects of fake-Ichiya's attacks seeping through him, paralyzing both his body and magic.
"Don't tempt me." Angel replied mockingly, though Jura was able to see she was lying. She had the opportunity to kill Ichiya and stop him from ever interfering in her plans and yet she didn't, just as she had the opportunity to strike him down now. These were not the actions of a truly Dark Wizard; he knew from reports that she had of course killed before when fighting other wizards, but it seemed she wasn't capable of cold blooded murder, how interesting.
"Now then, where was I? Oh yes, I was just about to knock you out of the game." Angel said, oblivious to Jura's thoughts as she raised her high heeled boots and slammed her down onto his skull with a thudding sound, knocking Jura out as she did so.
"Now we just have this Percy to deal with and then we are in the clear." Angel muttered to herself as she uncorked another of Ichiya's red vials and dropped it next to Jura's head so it would keep him incapacitated. She had already found out their plans and reported it to Brain, just as she had sent the alliance's airship to where some of the Dark Guild's loyal to Oración Seis were waiting, these Guild's would hijack the airship so it could be used against their enemies.

AN: So a bit more fleshing out of characters and of the Fairy Tail world for those who don't know it, also a few changes to Canon events already taking shape that will effect things in the future, though to be fair Percy presence alone kind of turns the canon story line on its head. Next chapter will contain more action as inevitable confrontations happen so you have that to look forward to.
Was asked an interesting question about whether Percy would use any Earthland Magic. In answer I will say he will not be able to learn or use Earthland magic he will instead be using his Demigod abilities, which are pretty damn OP if you think about it, especially if he has spent X amount of years honing them and has the Curse of Achilles and Kronos's sword. Suffice to say I don't think you will be disappointed.
There will however be a loop hole to what I said before. Percy might not be able to use the Earthland magic but he can use magic items that have been given their own magic. Just like how Mystogan is unable to use magic yet can use some enchanted staffs. Percy will be able to use magic items that contain their own magic.
Hope you all keep on reading and reviewing and hope you all keep on enjoying this story.
See you next time.
