A group of people ran through the woods looking frightened as if they were running from something or someone. "Run! He's a monster!" A man screamed in terror as the group all shared a dark guild mark on them, the mark looked like a shark. These people were members of a small dark guild named Great White.
"How could one man be this powerful!" Another shouted as they ran towards a building with their mark on it, it was their guildhall. "Master! Save us!"
A very tall large topless muscular man with the guild mark in the center of his chest with a large battle axe strapped on his back walked out from the guildhall, and he did not look happy. "What are you cowards doing? Who are you running from?"
"A demon! A monster!" A guild member said grabbing a hold of the guild master's wrist trying to pull him.
"Let go of me, you weakling." The master flicked his fingers as some tree branches came to life and wrapped themselves around the man's neck, the very next moment a snapping noise was heard as the guild member fell down to the ground dead. "Now, where is this so-called demon?" The guild master questioned when he heard some footsteps approach him, he looked at the path where his guild members had run across. On that path, he saw a young man with long raven black hair tied into a ponytail, he had tear lines under his eyes bringing out his face, his eyes glowed red with three black tomoes and a black dot in the center as a shade went over the upper half of his face, the young man wore a black leather jacket that had a large red Fairy Tail mark on the back, he had dark blue jeans, and a pair of black shoes. It was none other than Itachi, The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail.
"I'm from Fairy Tail, I've been ordered to take you out." Itachi said with an emotionless expression.
"Is that so?" The guild master looked behind him to see his members shaking in fear. "You must be quite something if you managed to scare my men like this."
"Master, he's a monster…" A guild member uttered.
"A monster? All I see is a boy. Now grow a pair and fight! Or else you will die by my hand!" The master threatened as he grabbed his axe and slammed it to the ground.
"You would be wise to listen to your guild members, surrender and you will not be harmed." Itachi said as he and the guild master locked eyes.
"Insolent little brat!" The guild master directed his hand towards Itachi as the tree branches began moving and wrapping around Itachi.
"So, this is your magic, doesn't seem too difficult to deal with." Itachi said not even faced by this.
"Die punk!" The guild master tightened his grip as the tree branches around Itachi began tightening its grip, Itachi then suddenly vanished in a pack of crows. "What the?!"
"You should be wary of your surroundings." Itachi appeared behind the guild master, the master then quickly swung his battle axe behind him and cut Itachi in half, but then Itachi vanished like a ghost.
"Wh-What kind of magic is this?!" The guild master questioned in shock.
Suddenly a dark portal appeared beneath him with demon arms wrapping themselves around the master's legs pulling him down. "It's over." Itachi's voice echoed throughout the area.
"What is this?!" The guild master shouted in fear as he was pulled down with only his hand sticking out from the portal and slowly sinking down.
"T-The master is down…" A guild member said shaking as they all backed away in fear as they saw the master on the ground with foam coming out from his mouth.
"Anyone else want to try?" Itachi asked as his entire face was covered with a shade and his sharingan glowing red.
""W-We surrender!"" They all shouted in unison.
"Good, all right you can come and take them now." Itachi said as a group of people dressed in the magic council's robes holding spears, led by a man with glasses, and black haired tied together on the back of his head.
"Thanks for your service, it was very much appreciated." The man with the glasses known as Lahar said as his men all put handcuffs on the members of Great White, and four other guards lifted the unconscious guild master. "Your payment." Lahar handed Itachi a bag with money.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Itachi walked away from the scene.
Later: Magnolia outside of the Fairy Tail guildhall
Itachi stood in front of his guildhall, he went up to the door and opened it. Inside was a large chart drawn by Reedus in midair, as several guild members were gathered around it. "What is this?" Lucy asked.
"I thought I would make a chart of all the dark guilds." Mira said.
"Oh, I was the one who drew it." Reedus said proudly.
"Upon second look, I'm struck by how many there are." Erza said.
"What brought this on?" Lucy asked.
"It seems they've become a lot more active lately." Mira replied with a serious expression as they all looked at the chart where three guilds were in a large circle with each of them having several lines drawn from them connected to various other dark guilds. "So we need to strengthen our partnership with our fellow guilds."
"What does the big circle represent?" Gray asked.
"Juvia knows. It' the Baram Alliance of dark guilds. The Baram Alliance consists of the Oracion Seis, Tartaros, and Grimoire Heart dark guilds and is the ultimate force in the criminal world." Juvia explained. "Each one has several other guilds under direct control, which they use to keep the criminal underworld running. Raven Tail, however, is an independent guild from them."
"You can cross out Great White from that list." Itachi said gaining everyone's attention.
"Itachi. Welcome back!" Mira greeted as Itachi saw the neckless he gave her around her neck.
"Great White, did you take them out by yourself?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, you and the others had your own job after all. So, I thought I would just go by myself." Itachi said as if it was not a big deal.
Reedus then crossed out the guild Great White that stood next to another crossed out guild Eisenwald. "So they were actually a subsidiary guild of the Oracion Seis?" Gray questioned.
"I recognize a whole lot of these names." Wakaba said.
"Some of these even used to be official guilds." Macao said.
"Even Ghoul Spirit was under them before The Thunder God Tribe destroyed them." Mira said.
"Every guild Juvia and Gajeel destroyed when they were in Phantom was under the Oracion Seis!" Juvia said with a disturbing proud happy smile.
"Don't say that with a smile…" Gray sweat dropped.
"Oh, man… I sure hope they're not mad at us…" Lucy said shaking.
"It's okay! There's nothin' to worry about! Word has it there's only six guys in the guild!" Wakaba said easing Lucy's stress.
"Pretty puny guild if you ask me!" Macao said.
"Numbers don't matter, in this case those six members make up one of the top three most powerfullest of dark guilds." Itachi said making Lucy feel nervous again. "However, I doubt they would care that we disposed of them considering Eisenwald is the only strong guild we took out, the rest are small fry."
"About those Oracion Seis.. " Master Makarov arrived gaining everyone's attention as the entire room's tension turned serious. "We have been given the task of destroying them!"
""Wha…?!"" Almost everyone questioned in shock.
"…"
"…."
"…"
"Welcome back, Master!" Mira greeted making everyone fall over besides Itachi and Makarov. "How was the conference?" Mira asked with an innocent looking smile.
Itachi sweat dropped as he looked at Mira. "I don't think those are the questions we should be asking…" Itachi said as Mira looked at him confused.
"What do you mean, Master?!" Erza questioned.
"The Oracion Seis' recent activity was a topic of yesterday's conference. It was decided that they cannot be ignored and that someone must take them down." Makarov said.
"We got left holding the bag again, Gramps?" Gray questioned.
"Fairy Tail is to assume that role?" Juvia questioned.
"No, the enemy is just too powerful this time. If we took them on alone, we'd have the entire Baram Alliance out for our blood in no time. Which is why… we are to form a coalition of allied forces." Makarov declared.
""Allied forces?!""
Itachi had to agree with the Master that this was the best solution. They couldn't risk having the entire Baram Alliance after them they wouldn't be able to survive that. "Then, who are we supposed to work with?" Itachi asked.
"Fairy Tail… Blue Pegasus… Lamia Scale… Cait Shelter… Each of these four will select members of their respective guilds who will work together to take them down!" Makarov declared.
"You know we can handle it on our own! In fact, I can handle it on my own!" Natsu declared.
"Fool!" Erza pushed Natsu's head to the side. "The Master is thinking about the consequences afterward!"
"Wait… Hold on… We're talking about just six people, right?! Just who are these guys?!" Lucy questioned with fear in her voice.
"Anyway, Master have you decided who's going?" Itachi asked.
"I'm still thinking about that… Any suggestions?" Makarov asked.
"Me of course!" Natsu shouted.
"No, I'm suggesting me, Erza, Mirajane, and Mystogan. We are our guild S-class mages after all." Itachi said.
"That does sound like a good idea…" Makarov said placing his hand on his chin.
"No way! I wanna go! And fight those guys!" Natsu threw a tantrum.
"Yeah, I wanna go to." Gray declared.
"If Gray-sama is going then Juvia will go as well!" Juvia said.
"Enough! Itachi, can you contact Mystogan?" Makarov asked.
"I can try." Itachi said as a crow appeared in a puff of smoke, Itachi gave the crow a note and it flew off.
While they waited Natsu kept throwing a tantrum demanding that he would come along. When the crow came back and landed on Itachi's shoulder giving him a note- "Well?" Erza asked as they all went a little closer.
"He said no…" Itachi replied as everyone sweat dropped. "Well, I guess this mean I will go with Erza and Mira."
"What?! Come on! Let me come to!" Natsu shouted with flames coming from his mouth.
"Maybe we should let one more person come with us?" Mira suggested.
"Hmm, fine, we take Gray…" Itachi said.
"Aw! Come on!" Natsu shouted. "Why him?!"
"Well, he's just strong as you, but he's more of a tactician than you plus he doesn't go on a rampage which could blow the entire mission." Itachi said emotionlessly.
"No fair!" Natsu shouted.
"Let Juvia come along to!" Juvia demanded.
"We only need four." Itachi said.
"Gray-sama…" Juvia cried.
"Pack your things, we're leaving." Itachi said.
Later
On a pathway, there was a large boar pulling a carriage, and attached to the carriage was a tall pile of Erza's luggage. Inside the carriage was Itachi, Erza, Mira and Gray. "It's been awhile since we were on a mission together." Mira said with a smile as she sat next to Itachi.
"Yeah it has, and this time you and Erza will not get in a fight I hope." Itachi said.
"We're over that, Onii-chan. We were just kids back then anyway." Erza said with a smile.
"Yeah, we're more mature now." Mira said with a small chuckle.
"It truly is relaxing without flame brain on the verge of vomiting." Gray said as he laid back relaxed for the first time in a while. But then…
"Natsu point your face in a different direction!" Lucy's voice came from Erza's luggage.
"Natsu! Hang in there!" Happy's voice was heard.
"Are… we… there… yet?" Natsu's voice was heard sounding like he was about to vomit.
"Looks like we got a pair of extra passengers. Stop the carriage." Itachi ordered. The carriage stopped and Itachi stepped out opening a large case where inside Natsu, Lucy and Happy were cramped in. "Hello there."
"Typical." Gray narrowed his eyes.
"I can understand Natsu and Happy following us, but Lucy?" Mira said with a confused expression.
"They dragged me with them…" Lucy cried.
"Ain't no way we were letting you guys have all the action!" Natsu declared.
"What did do to my luggage?!" Erza questioned with a scary expression making the trio shake in fear.
"W-We left them back at the guild…" Lucy replied.
"What was in there?" Itachi asked.
"My picnic gear!" Erza clenched her fist.
"Why would you bring your picnic gear?" Itachi questioned.
"Because we might one day come across the perfect picnic spot!" Erza replied making Itachi sweat drop, he didn't know if he should consider it stupid, or great that she was at least prepared for anything.
"Well we can't waist time going back when were so close to the meeting spot, so we might as well let them tag along." Itachi said with a sigh.
"Yes!" Natsu said with a grin.
Itachi helped Lucy out, and just as Natsu and Happy were about to exit, Itachi pushed them back in and closed the case. "Consider this punishment for sneaking along and dragging Lucy into this mess." Itachi said as he went back into the carriage with Erza, Mira, Gray and Lucy.
"No way!" Natsu shouted.
"Let us out!" Happy shouted.
"Start the carriage, and don't be afraid to drive fast. We need to make up for lost time." Itachi told the driver who nodded.
"No!" Natsu shouted because of his motion sickness.
"No mercy, huh…" Gray said with a deadpan expression.
"What if the throws up in my case?!" Erza asked.
"I will buy you a new one." Itachi replied.
"Then it's fine." Erza said as the carriage began moving at higher speed.
After some time of driving they arrived at a large pink mansion that belonged to Blue Pegasus's Master, Bob. Itachi opened the case as a pale Natsu fell out along with Happy. "The nightmare's over…" Natsu uttered as he was about to hurl.
They entered the mansion and saw statues of Pegasus's standing on the side of the front door, and a large red carpet on the floor. "This place gives me the creeps…" Lucy said.
"It's the second home of Blue Pegasus' Master Bob." Erza said.
"Him, huh?" Gray questioned looking pale at recalling the little fat crossdresser of a man. "I-I can't stand him…"
"Now, don't say that. Despite what you'd think, he is skilled enough to give our master trouble." Erza said also looking a little pale.
"I just hope they didn't send those idiots." Itachi said when suddenly.
"Yes! They have arrived!" A voice was heard.
""Arrived!"" Three voices said in unison.
"Oh, no…" Itachi looked annoyed.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Welcome!" Another voice was heard.
""Welcome!"" Three voices said in unison.
"Fairy!"
""Fairy!""
"Tail!"
""Tail!"" Three shadowed figures stood in front of them. ""Members! We've been expecting you!"" They stepped forward. "We…"
"…are the Blue Pegasus'…"
"…specially-selected members…"
""The Trimens!""
"Hundred Night's, Hibiki!" A handsome young man with stylish dark blond hair and black eyes, he wore a dark double-breasted suit with distinctive lines circling around his sleeves, with the Blue Pegasus symbol on his left shoulder, over a pinstriped blue shirt.
"Holy Night, Eve!" The short member of the trio with short blond hair, wearing a matching suit same as Hibiki with only a pink shirt underneath it and a dark pink tie.
"Still Night, Ren." The third member with dark hair and tanned skin, wearing a matching suit like the other two, with a yellow shirt underneath.
"The Blue Pegasus' Trimens!" Lucy said in shock. "S-So cool!" Lucy had a faint blush at the good-looking trio.
"They might be good looking, but they are weak." Itachi commented.
The trio then surrounded Erza. "The storied of your beauty precede you." Hibiki said with a wink.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Titania." Eve bowed.
"Please, come right this way." Ren placed his hand on Erza's shoulder that was quickly grabbed by Itachi.
"Step back playboy wannabes." Itachi warned with an emotionless expression.
"Tch, why are you here." Hibiki said with an annoyed expression.
"I'm one of the strongest mages in my guild, it's obvious that I would be here. The question is why are you three morons here?" Itachi asked with a deadpan expression.
"Cause' we are one of our guild's strongest as well." Eve replied.
"In that case, why is your weak guild even involved?" Itachi mocked.
"You think you're such a big shot just because you were declared number one bachelor in Sorcerer Weekly." Hibiki said with a hint of jealousy.
"Touch my, sister and your dead." Itachi threatened.
"Fine." Hibiki said when suddenly they all surrounded Mira.
"You're even beautiful in person." Eve said bowing in front of Mira.
"Such a delicate maiden." Hibiki said posing in front of Mira.
"Oh my…" Mira said not faced by their attempting of flirtation.
"You're just too adorable." Ren said about to place his hand on her shoulder, when suddenly a kunai flew past them. "What the hell, you could have scratched my face!"
"Yeah! And she's not even your sister why do you care?!" Hibiki questioned.
"That's none of your business." Itachi retorted.
"Hey, isn't that Itachi's old neckless?" Eve questioned and spotted the neckless around Mira's neck.
"Hey it is… But why does she…" Hibiki then gained a smug expression. "Oh, is that it, huh?"
"What's with that smug expression?" Itachi questioned in annoyance.
"So, we can assume you're not a bachelor anymore?" Hibiki snickered.
"…." Itachi didn't even bother to respond as he simply twitched his eyes in annoyance.
Ren then went over to Lucy. "You know… You're almost just too cute." Ren wrapped his arms around her waist.
"H-Huh?!" Lucy questioned with a faint blush, she then looked over to Itachi who didn't seem to care. "Are you kidding me?!"
"What's with those guys?" Gray questioned as he and Natsu stood in a corner with Happy.
"Who… Are they?" Natsu questioned still suffering from motion sickness.
The trio then had gathered around Lucy with her sitting on a couch. "Well hello there cutie." Hibiki said with stars sparkling around him.
"Your so cute." Eve said in awe.
Ren then gave Lucy a drink while avoiding her gaze. "I-I didn't make it for you, just so we're clear."
"You must be exhausted after your long journey! Spend tonight with us…" Hibiki offered the three ladies.
""Forever!"" The trio said in unions as the girls sweat dropped.
"All right, now. Give the girl's a break." A new voice was heard.
"Aw, great he's here." Itachi said in annoyance.
"Sir Ichiya!" Ren said.
"I-Ichiya?" Erza questioned with an expression that said "Oh no, not him."
"It's been a long time, Erza-san." The short man stood on top of the staircase.
"I-I never imagined that you would be participating…" Erza was shaking in fear.
"I missed you, my honey. I live life for you! Glimmer…" It was a short fat troll of a man with sparkles around him, he was dressed in a white suit with an orange shirt underneath, he had short orange hair, and a red bow-tie around his neck.
""My honey?!"" Lucy and Happy questioned looking pale.
"A most unexpected." Ichiya slide down to them.
""A most unexpected!"" The Pegasus trio cheered.
"Reunion."
""Reunion!""
"All right."
""All right!"" The trio cheered and bowed in front of the short man. ""We had no idea she was your girlfriend, Sir Ichiya! Please pardon our rudeness.""
"I deny that with all my might!" Erza said.
"Clean up! They're not here to visit!" Ichiya said.
""Right, Boss! Right, Boss!""
"I've heard all about you. Erza-san… Mirajane-san… Lucy-san… others." Ichiya said when he pointed at Natsu and Gray. "And… I-Itachi…" Ichiya began shaking in fear. "I-I didn't see you there…"
"It's been awhile, and I don't recall Erza being your honey, she's no one's honey and she never will be." Itachi said being overprotective over his precious little sister.
"S-Sorry…" Ichiya uttered shaking in fear.
"Remember, three warnings." Itachi said with a cold glare.
"Y-Yes, again so sorry." Ichiya turned blue for a moment, he then sniffed his nose. "Aww, but I can't stand this amazing, parfum!" Ichiya leaped at Erza.
"Warning one." Itachi slammed his fist into Ichiya's face. "Want to try warning two?"
"N-No…" Ichiya uttered with a large bruise mark on his face.
"What's the other warnings?" Lucy questioned.
"I torture him with an illusion, and then warning three… death. He never goes over two though." Itachi replied.
"Scary…" Lucy commented.
"Oh my, you sure are overprotective." Mira said with a small chuckle.
"Hn…"
"Listen up, you crappy Blue Pegasus pretty boys! Think you can keep your paws of our fair ladies?" Gray said.
"You two may leave." Ichiya said.
""Thanks for coming!""
"Can't believe they sent us a bunch of perverts! Can you pretty boys even fight?!" Gray questioned gritting his teeth in annoyance.
"Care to find out?" Ren asked with a smirk.
"We're though, you know." Eve said with a smirk.
"No, they're really not. They are stronger than most people, but they aren't' that though." Itachi said.
"A fight?! Lemme join in!" Natsu said having recovered from his motion sickness.
"Enough, all of you!" Erza said.
"Erza-san… you perfume is so lovely." Ichiya sniffed.
"Stay away!" Erza punched Ichiya across the face sending him flying across the room.
"Man!" Ichiya was caught by a man in the door that froze him in ice.
"How dare you great us, with this creature. Are you trying to pick a fight with Lamia Scale?" The man had short white spiky hair, he was wearing a white coat with dark fur around the collar, and underneath he had a red shirt. This was Gray's old friend Lyon Bastia.
"Lyon?!" Gray questioned.
"Gray?!" Lyon questioned.
"Hey! So you joined a guild?!" Natsu said as Lyon threw Ichiya to the side.
"What are you doing?!" Gray questioned.
"He started it, did he not?" Lyon said.
"How dare you attack our leader!" Ren said as the trio glared at Lyon in anger.
"You're terrible!" Eve said.
"Could all of you men just please leave?" Hibiki said.
"So you don't count yourself as a man?" Itachi mocked.
"So woman are fine than? Marionette attack! Carpet Doll!" A new voice was heard as the carpet began moving pushing Lucy.
"Me?! Wait this magic… Sherry! You joined Lamia Scale too?!" Lucy questioned as she spotted a young woman with a curvy figure, with pink hair tied up, and blue eyes, dressed in a pink dress.
"Don't pretend you've forgotten about me. But please do forget about my previous self." Sherry said.
"Make up your mind…" Lucy said with an expression of annoyance.
"I was reborn for the sake of love." Sherry said.
"Gray!" Lyon glared at Gray as he was looking for a fight.
"Lyon!" Gray said with the same expression as Lyon.
"Let's go!" Natsu was ready to throw down
"I can never love you." Sherry said to Lucy in a mocking tone.
"I hate you, too!" Lucy said.
"Things are looking bad." Mira said looking slightly worried.
"This annoying." Itachi commented.
"Enough!" The sound of a staff stamping on the ground was heard as they looked over to a tall muscular bald man. "We are here to unite and destroy the Oracion Seis! This is no time to fight among ourselves!" This man was none other than Jura one of the ten wizard saints.
"Jura." Lyon said.
"Jura?!" Erza questioned.
"Iron Rock Jura, Lamia Scale's ace member?" Hibiki said.
Itachi walked up to Jura and looked at the giant with a smile. "It's been awhile, Jura."
"Ah, Itachi-dono, it's a pleasure to see you again my old friend." Jura returned the smile. "Three guild are now here. That only leaves the members of Cait Shelter."
"Actually, I heard they're only sending one person…" Ichiya said.
"Only one?!" Erza questioned in shock.
"…"
"…"
"They're only sending one person for such a dangerous mission?!" Gray questioned in shock.
"H-Hold on… Just how crazy is this guy gonna be?!" Lucy questioned.
When suddenly a little scream was heard as a little blue haired petite girl fell down face first. "Ouch." She got back up and dusted herself off as everyone started at her. "U-Umm… I'm sorry I'm late. I'm from Cait Shelter. My name is Wendy Marvell. It's nice to meet you all!"
"A kid?!" Gray questioned in shock.
"Wendy?" Natsu questioned.
"I'm surprised, so this kid is…" Erza said as she and mostly everyone in the room stared at the little girl in surprise.
"Sending a little girl like her on a mission like this, alone, she must be very special." Mira commented sharing the same expression as Erza.
"Wendy." Ren said.
"Marvell." Eve said.
"Cute." Hibiki said
Itachi looked at her with an emotionless expression. 'Her appearance aside, she has a huge amount of magic power. Wendy, huh. Interesting.' Itachi thought.
Jura was like Itachi was not faced by this as they both sensed her magic power. "All the guilds are now present."
"You're just going to move on like that?!" Gray questioned in surprise at how Jura didn't show any sign of being faced by this new little surprise.
"Still…" Lyon said.
"Sending such a tender child on a major operation like this… What in heavens is Cait Shelter thinking?" Sherry questioned.
"Oh. She isn't alone, gaudy woman." A little white cat entered she was wearing a tiny dress with a pink bow-tie and another tie around the tip of her white tail. When this new feline entered Happy was staring at her in awe.
"A cat?" Gray questioned.
"Looks like it." Lyon said.
"She's just like Happy." Natsu said.
"She talks." Lucy said.
"How terrible! I am not gaudy." Sherry muttered.
"Charle! You followed me?" Wendy asked the little female white cat known as Charle.
"Of course. I would never be able to rest easy if I let you go all alone." Charle said and then spotted Happy whom looked at her with hearts in his eyes, she then quickly looked away in disgust.
Happy then grabbed in to Lucy's boot. "Hey, Lucy. Go give her my fish…"
Lucy then gained a smug smirk. "You're in loooove!"
"You stole that from me! Plus you said it three times stronger than I do!" Happy said.
"U-Umm, I can't fight at all, but I can use all kinds of helpful support magic…" Wendy said nervously. "So please… So please don't leave me out of the group…" Wendy was on the verge of crying as everyone looked at her in confusion.
"That timid attitude is why people look down on you!" Charle scolded.
"I-I'm sorry…"
"Quit being so quick to apologize." Charle said.
"S-Sorry!" Wendy apologized again making Charle sigh.
"My apologies. I was a bit surprised, but I didn't mean to offend you. It's a pleasure to meet you, Wendy." Erza said.
"Yeah, we we're just a little bit surprised, so sorry about that." Mira said with her comforting smile.
Wendy then looked at the two of them in awe. "It's Erza-san and Mirajane-san! It's really them, Charle!"
"They're both prettier than I expected." Charle said.
"Hey! Hey! Do you know who I am? I'm Happy, the Catmander!" Happy bragged although it was a lie that he himself believed to be true. Charle instantly ignored the blue cat. "She's shy… That's so cute!"
"I dunno. If anything, I'd say she's ignoring you." Lucy said.
"You're hopeless, Lucy. You don't understand how girls work at all." Happy said.
"Uhh, I happen to be a girl too, you know… But whatever." Lucy paled.
"I think the two of them would be cute together." Mira said looking a Charle and Happy.
"You also say that about Lucy and Natsu, Gray and Juvia, and sometimes you even say the same things about Lucy and Gray, Lucy and Loke etc." Itachi commented.
"That girl is going to be gorgeous when she grows up." Ren said.
"Looks like Hibiki doesn't want to wait." Eve said.
"Come, Miss. Right this way…" Hibiki tried to escort little Wendy who looked at him with a faint nervous blush.
"Oh, uhh…" Wendy uttered.
"That's a crime!" Lucy pointed out.
"That girl what a unique parfum she has. She's no ordinary girl." Ichiya said standing next to Jura and Itachi.
"So you've noticed, Ichiya-dono… She possesses magic somehow different from our own." Jura said.
"Not only that but it appears she has a lot of magic power for someone her age." Itachi commented.
"Indeed, it seems Erza-dono and Mirajane-dono has also noticed it." Jura said.
Gray looked at something unusual, Natsu thinking. "What's wrong, Natsu?"
"Wendy… I could swear I've heard that name somewhere before…" Natsu pondered.
"Huh? You know her?" Gray asked.
"Can you remember her for me?" Natsu asked.
"How am I supposed to do that?!"
"Umm, Ichiya…" Itachi pointed at the Blue Pegasus trio gathered around Wendy in some sort of booth.
Ichiya then went up to the trio. "I told you before! They aren't here to pay a visit! Clean up at once!" Ichiya ordered while doing poses while sparkling.
"Certainly, our dear master!" The trio instantly took the booth away.
"Man…" Ichiya now stood in a spot light. "Now, then. As it appears everyone is here allow me to explain the operation." Ichiya said while doing poses.
"Are those poses really necessary?" Lucy questioned.
"Just ignore it, you will get used to it." Itachi said.
"First is the location where the Oracion Seis—the six demon generals- have gathered…" Ichiya said while performing his poses.
"…"
"…"
"But first, I require use of the toilet parfum…"
"Don't add the word parfum to that!" Gray said disgusted.
""That's our sensei!"" The trio clapped and changed Ichiya's title again.
And after some time of waiting Ichiya had returned. "To the north lies the enormous Worth Woodsea. The ancient sealed a powerful magic deep inside it. It was known as… Nirvana!"
""Nirvana?"" Natsu and Lucy questioned in unison.
"I've never heard of it." Lyon said.
"Have you, Jura-sama?" Sherry questioned.
"No, I haven't." Jura replied.
"Itachi, have you heard of it?" Mira asked.
"Hmm, I've heard some stories about it in ancient history books, it is said to be some sort of destructive magic." Itachi replied.
"That's about what we know so far as well, also that the ancients sealed it away." Ren said.
"But we don't know what kind of magic it actually is." Eve said.
"Destructive magic?" Natsu questioned.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Lucy said as a small shiver ran down her spine.
"We can only assume the Oracion Seis have gathered in the forest in order to obtain Nirvana." Hibiki said.
"To prevent that from happening…" Ichiya said.
""…we will destroy the Oracion Seis!"" The Blue Pegasus gang posed.
"There are fourteen of us, and seven of them." Hibiki said.
"Seven? I thought they were only supposed to be six?" Itachi questioned.
"They've hired a hit man of some sort to help them out. " Hibiki said as he flicked his fingers and some sort of screen appeared in midair with a keyboard.
"Archive…" Jura said.
"That's magic you don't see every day." Lyon said.
"I've never seen it before." Sherry said.
Suddenly three images of three different people appeared. "Only recently did we manage to obtain these shots of them." The first image was of a young man with dark tanned skin, with marron upwards spiky hair with a tuft covering his forehead, he wore a white high collared coat with a black shirt underneath, he also wore red pants. And unlike Natsu and Wendy this guy had a large purple snake around him instead of cats. "Cobra, a wizard who uses a poisonous snake."
"Man! That slanty-eyed jerk looks mean!" Natsu commented.
""You don't look very different yourself."" Gray and Lyon said in unison.
"Poison huh? Guess he wouldn't be a problem for you." Itachi said looking at Mira who stood next to him and Erza. "By the way, your powers. How are they?"
"Oh, I'm able to fully use Satan Soul so there's no problem there." Mira replied with a smile.
The next image was of another man with blond and black hair, the blond hair being in the center in a long spiky mohawk, he also had long blond spiky eyebrows, he also had a long prominent nose, he also wears a chin guard. He wears a pair of green tinted sunglasses, and for clothing he has a red and white racer suit. "Next is Racer, who, judging from his name, likely uses speed-related magic." Hibiki informed.
"Oh? For whatever reason I don't like the way he looks." Gray said.
"I agree." Lyon said.
Next image was of a large tall man with long curly orange hair reaching to his upper back, his face looked rather geometrical in shape, he wears a loose dark shirt with a white collar and simple light pants tucked inside simple boots, around his neck is a large neckless of brown beads, and he carries a book in his right hand. "Next is a wizard so powerful that he'll annihilate an entire military unit if the money is right… Divine Eyes Hoteye."
"For money?" Sherry questioned in disgust.
"Despicable…" Jura commented.
Next image was of a young woman with short silver white hair with her bangs covering her forehead, and a blue ribbon, her outfit which was a short dress looked like that of an angle as it is decorated in white feathers with white wings on her back, it revealed much of her cleavage making her top resemble more of a vest, she had tattooed angle wings on her collar bone. "Next is Angle, a woman who's said to peer into people's hearts."
"I dunno why, but I think I'm probably naturally weak against people like her…" Lucy commented.
Next image was that of a young man looking like he was sleeping while sitting on a floating carpet, he had short spiky black hair on the top, and long straight white hair on the bottom, he wears a black leather west with white fur trimming, he also wears yellow pants with black design on them, brown boots, and he has black lipstick on his lips, he also wears spiked bracelets on his wrist, and he has the red Oracion Seis mark on his right shoulder. "We have little information on this man… but he's known as Midnight."
"Midnight? That's an odd name." Erza commented.
The next image was that of a dark muscular man with neat silver white hair, he had black straight line marks on his face and the Oracion Seis mark on his chest, in his hand his holding a staff with a skull on the top. "This is Brain, their commander."
Then a final image came on screen of a young man with short red hair, brown eyes, he wore a black hooded robe, and he was shirtless underneath, he also wore black pants and no shoes. On his fingertips are blue lines of energy connected to what appears to be a human puppet. "We don't know who he is, or where he came from, nor do we know his magic other than it might be connected to that puppet." Hibiki informed.
Itachi stared at the image with a surprised expression, he then clenched his fist. "Sasori."
"Huh? You know him?" Mira asked.
"Yeah, I know him." Itachi replied.
"What can you tell us about him?" Hibiki asked.
"His name, is Sasori. Back in my home country he's known as Sasori of the Red Sand. He's a puppeteer master." Itachi informed.
"That doesn't sound that dangerous." Natsu commented.
"He's dangerous, I would say he might be more powerful than Laxus." Itachi said to which everyone from Fairy Tail widened their eyes in shock.
"Are you for real?!" Gray questioned.
"He doesn't exactly use normal puppets. All of his puppets are filled with hidden weapons and even poison, poison that is so rare that only he has the antidote. But there's more… His puppets are known as human puppets." Itachi informed.
"What does that mean?" Lucy questioned.
"… He kills someone, takes out their organs and drain out the blood, he then studies the body and makes a few adjustments. But if the body has a very special magic power so to say, he's able to make the puppet use the same magic abilities as the person could before when he was alive." Itachi informed to which most of the people turned blue.
"That's horrible!" Erza said as her body was shaking in anger.
"How do you even know this guy?" Gray questioned.
"Remember Hidan?" Itachi asked to which Gray nodded. "They used to be a part of the same organization, an organization which I used to spy on for my home town."
"Who's this Hidan?" Lyon questioned.
"A creep we meet in the Tower of Heaven. He was somehow immortal even when Itachi cut off his head he was still alive. He had the ability to curse others by licking their blood and drawing some sort of ritual circle. Ones that happened his skin changed color and he looked like a skeleton, and if he stabbed himself he could inflict the pain on the person he got the blood from, he used that move on a man named Simon." Gray replied as he shook just by thinking of it.
"Simon…" Erza muttered.
"If he was immortal, how did you beat him?" Mira asked.
"Well since I cut off his head, and he can't reattach himself, I simply threw his head into the ocean and watched it sink to the bottom, and then I burned his body to ashes." Itachi replied emotionless. "Anyway, Sasori is much stronger than Hidan."
"But why does he do those things to people, turn them into puppets I mean?" Lucy asked.
"He calls it his art, in his opinion a puppet is art since it's eternal lasting." Itachi replied.
"Art? That's messed up." Natsu commented. "No matter, I will fry his ass!"
"If you fight Sasori you will die. It is best you let me deal with him." Itachi said.
"No way! You stole my chance to beat Laxus! And if this guy is as strong as him! I will beat him!" Natsu declared.
Itachi then sighed. "Okay how about this? First one to find him gets to fight him."
"You're on buddy!"
"Anyway, now that we know that where this Sasori stands, the Oracion Seis possess enough magic power to destroy entire guilds each. We'll have to rely on our numerical advantage." Hibiki said.
"Umm, could you please leave me out of the count?" Lucy said shaking.
"Fighting isn't really my thing either…" Wendy said also shaking.
"Wendy! No complaining!" Charle scolded.
"Hey! Hey! Do you wanna do something? We're not included in the count, you know!" Happy said while holding a fish. But Charle simply ignored him.
"Never fear. There is more to our operation than just fighting. You can help us locate their stronghold." Ichiya said sparkling as always.
"Yes, that's right. We still have to locate it…" Ren said.
"But it would be logical to assume they have a temporary base of operations somewhere in the woodsea." Eve said as an image of the forest with a small lake appeared on screen.
"If possible, we would like you to gather them all in that base." Ichiya said.
"How?" Gray questioned.
"By beating their brains out, obviously!" Natsu got fired up for battle.
"Why do you have your sharingan activated?" Mira asked Itachi who looked around the area.
"Well in case anyone from the enemy approaches us, I should be able to see the color of their energies." Itachi replied, although it would have worked better if he had byakugan he could still see a small distance, even if anyone was hiding behind a wall, he would still be able to see small traces of their magic power, or chakra in case Sasori decides to snoop around. Wait a minute, Itachi looked at Ichiya and saw that his energy wasn't quite right. 'Odd, that looks like… Celestial Spirit energy.'
"Why do you want to gather them?" Erza asked Ichiya as he pointed into the sky.
"We will use our guild's prized Pegasus, which we call Christina, to utterly annihilate their base and them with it!" Ichiya declared.
Itachi closed his eyes and began to think. 'So one of the enemies uses Celestial Spirit Magic, and managed to capture Ichiya and use a spirit to take his place. It must have happened around the time Ichiya went to the restroom. Which means the enemy know of our plan so it's pointless to rely on this one. This makes matters more difficult, if they know where we are and who we are, they have the advantage. Specially since the only one I have knowledge about is Sasori due to my past with him. The logical course of action would be to tell everyone now that this Ichiya is an imposter, but I could always just play along and wait for the enemy to attack giving me time to study their moves… No, although I'm confident in my own abilities and Erza, Mira, and Jura's, there's no guarantee that the others are ready to fight them just yet, and then all we can do is hope that some of us survives. What should I do?' Itachi opened his eyes.
"Listen! If you do find yourself in battle whatever you do, do not fight alone! There must always be at least two people taking on a foe!" Jura said with a stern look on his face.
Natsu slammed his fiery fist into his palm. "All right! I'm all fired up!" And then before anyone could say anything or even move, Nastu rushed crashing out the door. "I'm gonna take on all seven of you jerks together!"
"Hold on, Natsu! Lucy shouted but to no avail.
"He's unbelievable…" Erza sighed.
"I'm not sure if he's impatient or something else altogether…" Lucy said.
"Man, he didn't even listen to the strategy." Gray said with a small smile.
"Guess that's Natsu for ya." Mira said with a small nervous chuckle.
"That wasn't nice…" Eve said as he and the rest of the trio had a small sweat drop.
"At least open the door first…" Hibiki said.
"We have no choice let's go-" Erza stopped the moment Itachi kicked Ichiya in the face sending him flying.
"Hey! What's the big idea?!" Ren questioned.
Itachi threw a kunai at Ichiya with a paper bomb tag attached to it. "That's not Ichiya, it's an imposter." Itachi said then the paper bomb exploded. Ichiya then leaped out from the smoke.
"What are you doing-"
"You almost had me fooled there. Your acting is top notch, however the moment I used my sharingan I noticed that something was strange about your energy… It was that of a Celestial Spirit." Itachi said.
"A Celestial Spirit?" Lucy questioned with an expression shared by the rest.
"Piri… Piri…" Ichiya then turned into two tiny blue doll like things. "Back to normal. Perverted stuff is all that Ichiya guy thinks about!" One of the blue dolls said. "That's for sure! He's hopeless as a grownup!"
"Where is your contractor?" Itachi asked as he spotted an energy signature that quickly ran away and the two doll beings quickly vanished. He went to the place where the signature came from and found a white feather. "Angle, huh?" Itachi went back to the others. "It seems Angle uses Celestial Spirit magic. Anyway, let's hurry up and catch up to Natsu. The enemy already know of our plan anyway." Itachi said.
"Why not chase after Angle?" Hibiki questioned.
"With the way, she's going she's going where Natsu's going. Meaning that the others are there. Let's go." Itachi said as he ran in the direction where Natsu ran off to.
"Yeah, let's go!" Erza said as she, Mira and Gray ran. While as Lucy followed after them while crying.
"We can't let Fairy Tail outshine us, let's go Sherry!" Lyon said as they followed after Fairy Tail with Jura right behind them.
"Let's get going as well." Hibiki said as the trio ran after them.
"Let's go Wendy!" Charle pulled Wendy by the wrist as they ran after them.
Happy stood there alone, he then quickly brought out his wings and flew after them while crying. "Wait! Don't leave me alone!"
They kept running until they eventually spotted Natsu who had spotted the woodsea. "Wait, Natsu!" Gray shouted.
"Nope!" Natsu shouted back with a smirk.
"You fool! Don't rush ahead by yourself!" Erza shouted.
Natsu just chuckled. "You hate the idea of me one-upping you that much?!"
"What?! How dare you suggest that I…!" Erza shouted with a pissed off expression that scared Natsu so much that he didn't notice that he ran off the cliff until he was falling down into the woods.
"Oh, man! He fell over!" Gray said as they all minus Blue Pegasus and Wendy and Charle, and Lucy looked down.
"That hotheaded fool!" Erza said.
"Oh my…" Mira said.
"I see that he hasn't changed at all…" Sherry said.
"I'm filled with confusion when I stop to think about how I once fought that imbecile." Lyon said with a sweat drop.
"That's just another form of love!" Sherry said.
"Where exactly did you meet them?" Itachi questioned with a sweat drop.
"We meet them on Galuna Island, and Lyon was once a fellow pupil of Gray's master." Erza replied.
"Aha…"
"Wait for me! You guys are too fast! Whatever happened to ladies first?!" Lucy came running behind them while crying.
The blue Pegasus trio then appeared next to Lucy all sparkling. "Shall I carry you princess?" Hibiki asked.
"I can hold your hand for you!" Eve said.
"Don't be leavin' my side." Ren said as he avoided Lucy's gaze with a faint blush.
"Annoying!" Lucy commented.
"Wendy! Don't lollygag!" Charle scolded still pulling Wendy with Happy shortly following them.
"But…!" Wendy uttered.
"I'm gonna try extra hard, too!" Happy shouted.
"Shall we just follow him, down there?" Itachi asked.
"It's not like we have any other choice." Mira said and transformed into her Satan Soul, stretching out her wings. "Want me to carry you down there?"
"Nah, I'm good." Itachi said as he jumped down the cliff like it was nothing. With Mira flying down after him.
Ice make: Eagle!
Lyon made a large eagle out of ice that, he, Sherry and Jura flew down on.
Ice make: Slide!
Gray made a slide out of ice that the rest of them went down on.
Mira flew next to Itachi who was running down the rock wall. "Do you know where Natsu is?" Mira asked.
"His running through the forest, he's fine." Itachi replied.
"What about anyone from the Oracion Seis?"
"Nothing yet. I will let you know when I see anything." Itachi said as they arrived at the end. Mira turned back to her normal state as she and Itachi ran through the forest with the others not too far behind.
"Do you feel it?" Mira asked.
"Yeah, I can feel dark energy around this forest. It's most likely connected to Nirvana." Itachi replied as if it was like the whole forest was filled with bad air. "The others must have also noticed by now. Let's keep going." Itachi said when a certain pink haired dragon slayer came into view. "Natsu!"
"Hey! Pick up the paste you guys!" Natsu shouted back to them.
"You're one sturdy freak, you know that?!" Gray and the others had caught up with them.
When suddenly a large shadow appeared above them. "Wha…?" Natsu questioned when Gray suddenly crashed into him. "What's the big idea?!"
"Don't just stop in your tracks like that!" Gray shouted back at Natsu.
"Look." Erza said as she went between them and pushed them away from each other. "The magic bomber, Christina!" Erza said as a large flying ship that looked like a Pegasus flew above them.
"Whoa!" Natsu said in awe.
"That's the heavenly horse I've heard so much about?!" Gray said.
"Wow." Wendy said in awe.
"It's so big!" Happy said.
"It is reassuring." Charle said.
"All right! Let's split up and search for their base of operations!" Erza said.
"Huh? We're doing what now?" Natsu questioned.
"Oh, geez…" Gray sighed when suddenly Christina exploded from the side.
"Christina!" Hibiki said as the ship kept exploding until it went crashing down into the forest.
"Figures, the enemy knew about it after all. It's obvious that they would set a trap of some kind." Itachi said when suddenly he spotted someone with his sharingan. "They're here! Get ready!" Itachi said as everyone got into fighting positions, while as Wendy hid behind a rock.
Out from the smoke stepped out the six members of the Oracion Seis. Brain in the middle and next to him Cobra and his snake, Racer, Hoteye, Angle with the two blue doll things floating beside her, and Midnight who looked like he was sleeping on a floating carpet. "Lowly maggots, all swarming together…" Brain said.
"We know exactly what you have in mind." Angle said with a wink.
"We already took out that Ichiya, what you think of that?!" The two blue things said.
"What!? No way!" Hibiki said.
"Not surprised actually." Itachi commented.
"You're flustered. I can hear it…" Cobra said with a smirk.
"The quicker the work, the better. And you people are in our way." Racer said.
"Money gives one strength! Yes! Let me give you a tip: money is everything in this world. And!" Hoteye said.
""Shut up, Hoteye!"" Cobra and Racer said in unison.
"Where is Sasori?" Itachi asked.
"Ah, you're the one that knows about our little companion. He tends to stay to himself, doesn't really talk that much to either of us. But don't you worry he's around somewhere, doing last touches on his art. We spent a lot of time gathering bodies for him to turn into puppets, he's still working on them." Brain said.
"Hey!" Natsu cracked his knuckles.
"Yeah." Gray smirked.
Cobra then smirked. "I can hear it."
""You saved us the trouble of lookin' for you!"" Natsu and Gray charged at them.
"Get them." Brain ordered.
"Okay." Racer said and then began moving at incredible speed. He appeared behind Natsu and Gray.
Motor!
Racer kicked both Natsu and Gray in the back.
""Natsu! Gray!"" Two Lucy's shouted in unison as they both then looked at each other.
"Dummy." One of the Lucy's said with a smirk and began whipping the other.
"Wh-What the…?!"
"Sherry!" Lyon said as they both charged at Hoteye.
"Yes!"
"I can see you, yes!" Hoteye's eyes began to glow he then directed his finger at them and suddenly the earth beneath them turned to clay as Lyon and Sherry both sank in it. "Money is all you really need, not love! Yes!" The earth then began bending.
"What the…?! The ground is…!" Lyon said in surprise as he sank into it.
"Love is more important!" Sherry shouted. "Lyon-sama!"
"I'll take care of Angle." Hibiki said.
""No fair!"" Ren and Eve said in unison.
Racer then moved at quick speed and kicked Ren and Eve. "Eve! Ren!" Hibiki shouted when Racer appeared behind him and kicked him.
"Fast is good." Racer said when suddenly Mira's Satan Soul claw slammed into his face. Mira then gathered a lot of dark energy between her hands.
Evil Explosion!
Mira blasted Racer with a dark energy wave, but Racer dodged it quickly with his speed and appeared behind her. "You may have power, but I have speed." Racer threw a punch that was caught by Itachi.
"Oh really, well I have both." Itachi said as he swung his leg to the side kicking Racer across the face. "Try and help Erza with that Cobra guy."
"Right." Mira flew to Erza as they both charged at Cobra.
"Requip!" Erza changed into her Heaven's Wheel armor.
"I can hear it…" Cobra said.
"Dance, my swords!" Erza had several sword floating around her and she sent them flying towards Cobra. Cobra moved slightly dodging each blade as they stabbed the ground around him. "What?! He can see through my swordsmanship?!"
Mira appeared behind Cobra with her fist raised, Cobra's ears twitched, then Mira slammed her fist into the ground where Cobra stood but he was gone. "What the?!"
"I can hear you." Cobra was above her on his snake that had grown wings. The snake then swung it's tail into Mira sending her crashing into a rock.
Natsu then spotted Midnight whom was just sleeping. "Hey, you! What are you sleeping for, you jerk?!"
Itachi dodged all of Racer's attacks and he could barely dodge any of his. "This guy's too much!" Racer then vanished and appeared behind Erza whom quickly blocked his kick with her swords.
"Requip! Flight Armor!" Erza's speed then increased as she swung her swords at Racer with incredible speed, but Racer dodged all of them.
"Oh, you're fast! Fast is good!" Racer complimented.
Mira charged at Cobra whom dodged all of her punches and kicks, his snake then swung its tail crashing into her back. "How does he do it? It's like he knows my move before I make it." Mira muttered.
"I can hear everything, She-Devil." Cobra said as the snake was about to bite her. Mira quickly went to the side but was kicked in the face by Cobra. "I can hear your next move!"
"Wake up dammit!" Natsu spitted out a wave of flames towards Midnight, but the flames just bent around him. "What was that? My magic didn't hit him?"
"Forget it." Racer appeared behind Natsu and kicked him in the back. "Midnight's scary if you wake him up." Racer moved from the one spot to the next around Natsu and kicked or punched him.
Jura directed his index and middle finger at Hoteye as stone pillars appeared out from the ground and charged at Hoteye. Hoteye responded by twisting the earth to block it.
Gray gathered his hands together.
Ice make-
Suddenly the two blue dolls appeared behind him and turned into him.
…Lance!
The fake Gray attacked the real Gray with his own attack.
Brain watched as Cobra dodged both Mirajane and Erza. "Oh? So this is Erza Scarlet… And Mirajane Strauss…"
Cobra caught both of Erza's wrists. "I can hear them. Your movements, your breathing, your muscles contracting, even your thoughts…" Cobra said and tilted his head to the side and dodged Mira's kick as his snake wrapped itself around her. Cobra then widened his eyes as he heard Erza's memories of being in the Tower of Heaven. "You where there?" Cobra let go of Erza and backed away, Mira then broke free from the snake's hold and leaped next to Erza.
"We shouldn't hold back against them." Mira said.
"I agree, they are a lot tougher than I expected." Erza said as she noticed Cobra was wide open. "He's wide open!" Erza quickly charged at Cobra but then suddenly the ground pushed itself up towards her.
"I saw it! Yes!" Hoteye said when suddenly Jura's rock pillars crashed into him.
"Erza-dono!" Jura shouted when suddenly he was blasted by some sort of green energy with fire by Brain.
"Snap out from it, Cobra!" Racer kicked Erza in the back.
"Cuberos!" Cobra called to the snake as it flew towards Erza and bit her in the arm.
"Argh!" Erza screamed in pain.
"Erza!" Mira flew towards her but was kicked in the gut by Racer.
Itachi then charged and caught Erza in his arms. "Erza!" Itachi said as Erza looked like she was in immense pain.
"Cuberos' poison isn't fast-acting. Enjoy writhing in pain before you perish!" Cobra said with a vicious smirk.
"Mira, take care of Erza." Itachi stood up and charged at Cobra.
"No use! I can hear you." Cobra tilted his head to the side but was suddenly kicked in the gut by Itachi. "Wh-What?!"
"You can hear me, but I can see you." Itachi said with his sharingan spinning.
"Y-You can see what move I'm going to make with your eyes?!" Cobra said in shock as he had heard Itachi's thoughts.
"I see, so you can hear every move a person's going to make and predict it from there. This should be interesting." Itachi threw a punch but Cobra ducked and swung his leg at Itachi who jumped up dodging it.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a large ball of fire directly at Cobra. Itachi then leaped back. "Let's see you dodged that." Itachi looked around. 'Seems only me and Jura are left standing.' Itachi then looked over to Mira whom held Erza in her arms. Itachi thought of nothing so that Cobra couldn't hear it.
Cobra leaped at Itachi, Cobra had some burn marks on his body as his coat was slightly burned as well. "I got you!" Cobra swung his leg towards Itachi's face. Itachi dodged and grabbed Cobra's leg and threw him towards his friends, Cobra was caught by his snake. "Damn those two…" Cobra cursed as he and Hoteye and Racer slightly were the only ones injured.
"They are the strongest ones they have. "Iron Rock" Jura, "The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail" Itachi. Both of them are at the level of a Wizard Saint." Brain said and directed his staff at them with a lot of energy gathering in it. But then he spotted Wendy hiding behind a rock and then he stopped and began sweating.
"What's the matter Brain?" Racer questioned.
"Why did you stop the spell?" Cobra questioned.
"Wendy…" Brain uttered as Wendy looked at him in confusion.
"Do you know her?" Cobra asked.
"There's no doubt about it… That's Wendy…the Maiden of the Sky!" Brain said.
"The Maiden…" Gray uttered.
"…of the Sky?" Hibiki questioned.
"To think I would meet her in a place like this… This is quite a find. Come!" Brain directed his staff at Wendy when suddenly a green arm of energy appeared and grabbed Wendy.
""Wendy!""
"Dammit!" Itachi was about to charge when suddenly a rock pillar attacked him. "What the?" Itachi then saw two Jura's.
"Piri piri!"
"Damn you!" Jura was about to attack the copy but the ground then twisted beneath him.
"Wendy!" Charle shouted.
"Charle!"
"Hang on! I'm coming to save you!" Happy ran towards them holding a stick.
Itachi leaped towards Wendy but Racer appeared in front of him and threw a punch, Itachi caught Racer's fist. "I don't have time for this!" Itachi then threw him to the side.
Suddenly a human puppet arrived with blades on it's arms. Itachi blocked the blades with a kunai. "This is…" Itachi leaped back and spotted Sasori walking out from the forest with chakra strings on his fingertips. "Sasori."
"It's been awhile, Itachi." Sasori said with an emotionless expression.
"Charle!" Wendy screamed and reached her hand out.
"Wendy!" Charle reached her paw out for her friend.
But then, Wendy grabbed on to Happy. "Huh?" Happy questioned.
"Hey, you!" Charle shouted at the blue tomcat.
"Natsu!" Happy shouted as both him and Wendy vanished into Brain's staff.
"I've no business with you any longer. Begone!" Brain blasted them with a green wave of energy from his staff.
Dark Rondo!
"Get down!" Hibiki shouted.
Iron Rock: Wall!
Jura brought out rock pillars that blocked the blast from Brain.
"Thanks, Jura-san!" Hibiki thanked.
"We owe you a million." Lucy said.
"Damn those guys!" Natsu looked towards where the Oracion Seis stood but they were all gone expect for Sasori who was standing face to face with Itachi.
"Damn those guys. Leaving me here alone how annoying, I should kill them for that." Sasori said before his puppets hands fell off and several kunai's were visible. "Guess I will make my exit as well." Sasori then shoot all the kunai's towards Erza and Mira.
"No!" Itachi quickly leaped in front of them as all the kunai's stabbed into his right arm. "Argh!" When he looked back Sasori was gone. "Ugh!" Itachi fell to his knees.
"Itachi! What's wrong?!" Mira quickly placed Itachi next to Erza.
"Poison… Poison in the kunai knifes…" Itachi uttered. "Save… Erza… first…"
"How can she save you guys? You've been poisoned you need the antidote." Lyon said.
"Heh, Mira is immune to poison, she just has to suck it out." Itachi said with a small smirk. "Quickly! She's been poisoned longer than me… there's no telling how long she's got." Itachi said as he noticed a dark purple spot on Erza's arm that kept growing.
"Right." Mira then lifted Erza's arm up as Erza twitched in pain. "Here I go."
"Just do it…" Erza said as Mira sank her demon fangs into Erza's arm making Erza moan a little in pain. The mark then slowly began to vanish, Mira kept going until the mark was fully gone.
"That takes care of her, now for you." Mira went over to Itachi whom had removed his black leather jacket and white shirt, he had also pulled out each kunai. Mira then sank her fangs into Itachi's arm as he twitched his eyes a little. Mira then stopped and backed away. "That poison was powerful it may not do anything to me but if anyone else gets poisoned by this and I'm not around they will die after a few hours."
"He's improved his poison, before it would take days before a person would die." Itachi got up but his body twitched in pain. "Hand me the medicine. It's in my leather jacket, inside a scroll."
Mira took out a scroll from Itachi's leather jacket, Itachi then opened the scroll and used the blood from Mira's bite mark and drew blood on it. He then performed a few hand signs. "Release!" Out from the scroll came two test tubes with a pink liquid. Itachi took one and sealed the last one back into the scroll and placed the scroll in his pocket. He opened the tube and drank the pink liquid.
"That's better…" Itachi uttered and stood up.
"What was that?" Jura asked.
"It's his medicine, he's got a deadly sickness and that medicine will prevent him from dying until he can find what he needs for his cure. And thanks to that sickness he can only use 40% of his full power." Gray said as everyone not from Fairy Tail widened their eyes in shock.
"Wait, he's dying and he was still able to keep up with the Oracion Seis?!" Eve questioned in shock.
"Unreal…" Ren uttered in shock.
"Is he even human?" Hibiki questioned with his eyes wide in shock.
"Heh, so this is Fairy Tail's own monster. I've heard stories of his power, but I never thought he was at this level." Lyon said with a smirk.
"It doesn't matter… We have to find the Oracion Seis and save Wendy and Happy." Itachi said, he then looked over to Erza who was still growling in pain.
"It will take some time until she can fully move again. I have taken out the poison but her body is still damaged from what the poison managed to do to her before I took it out." Mira said as Itachi walked over to Erza and lifted her up bridal style.
"O-Onii-chan…" Erza uttered.
"Just rest, we will have to find a temporarily base. Let's go." Itachi said and began to walk into the woods.
"Wait for me!" Ichiya came running towards them. "Where are they? Those despicable Oracion Seis?!"
"Their gone." Itachi said when Ichiya noticed Erza in Itachi's arms.
"Wh-What happened to Erza-san?!" Ichiya questioned.
"She got poisoned by the enemy, Mira managed to suck it out so she will be fine. But it will take some time for her body to heal.
"Then I will just use my painkiller parfum!" Ichiya opened a tube that let out a green smoke everyone then began to feel they're pain vanishing, besides Itachi and Erza.
"Damn it! How dare they run off with Wendy and Happy! Where are you?! Where'd you go, dammit?!" Natsu ran off.
"Natsu, where are you going?!" Lucy questioned.
Suddenly Charle pulled Natus by his scarf making him fall down, Charle flew above him with wings just like Happy. "Honestly, now… Calm down, will you?"
"Wings?" Gray questioned.
"She has wings…" Sherry said.
"The cat is flying…" Ren said.
"Wow!" Eve said.
"This is Aera magic. I guess it is understandable to be surprised if you've never seen it before." Charle said.
"You're copying Happy!" Natsu accused.
"Come now?!" Charle gained a thick mark. "In any case, I'm concerned for Wendy and that tomcat, but now you realize we can't beat them in haphazard attack!"
"Charle-dono is correct. The enemy is far stronger than anticipated." Jura said.
"Man."
"Plus…" Charle said but was interrupted.
"Umm, why is my ho- I mean Erza-san still in pain?!" Ichiya questioned.
"It's not helping me either by the way." Itachi said with an emotionless expression.
"Like I said her body has to naturally heal, although the poison won't kill her there are still small traces in both of you that your body will slowly get rid of." Mira explained.
"M-Man?"
"I see, it's no problem." Itachi said showing no sign of being in pain.
"You should also be in even more pain then she is, considering the poison in you was way stronger." Mira said showing signs of concern.
"The pain from my sickness is far more worse than this, and I was able to keep up appearance for two whole years that I never had it so this is nothing. I'm actually in tremendous pain though." Itachi said emotionlessly.
Charle then coughed to gain everyone's attention. "Like I was going to say, Wendy could possibly save you."
"What?" Itachi questioned.
"Wendy has the ability to cure all kinds of things. She can cure fevers, relieve pain, and even treat injuries, and poison." Charle said.
"I-I feel as if my identity is being threatened…" Ichiya paled.
"But aren't healing spells Lost Magic?" Sherry questioned.
"Wait! Does it have to do with the Maiden of the Sky?!" Lucy questioned.
"Wendy is the Sky Dragon Slayer. Sky Dragon, Wendy" Charle said as everyone widened their eyes in shock.
"A Dragon Slayer?!" Natsu questioned.
"We need Wendy, she might be able to cure your sickness. And that way you will be able to use your full power. Which we need in this situation." Charle said looking at Itachi.
"Well… I doubt she can cure me… but what do I have to lose." Itachi said.
"Then we must rescue Wendy at any cause." Mira said as she was willing to do anything to heal Itachi from his sickness.
"All right! Let's go!" Natsu shouted and raised his fist in the air along with the others.
""Yeah!""
"Then Erza will rest here, Hibiki monitor our moves with your Archive Magic." Itachi said and gently put Erza down.
"I will stay here with her." Lucy said.
Everyone went in different groups throughout the woods in search for Wendy and Happy, Natsu, Gray and Charle in one group. Ren, Eve and Ichiya in another. Jura, Lyon and Sherry in another. And Itachi and Mira in the last group.
Itachi and Mira ran through the woods as Itachi looked around with his sharingan. "Can you see their energy?" Mira asked.
"Not yet, but I see others. Hundreds, probably from dark guilds under Oracion Seis." Itachi replied.
"Are you sure you shouldn't rest along with Erza?" Mira asked with a concern look.
"I'm fine, the poison isn't holding back my power. I'm perfectly fine. I've been through worse." Itachi replied as he looked around and spotted several people around them. "Looks like we're surrounded."
Mira then activated her Satan Soul. "Let's deal with them quickly, like we dealt with punks like them in the old days."
Itachi narrowed his eyes as his sharingan began spinning. "What was our old nickname again?" Itachi asked with a small smirk. "Oh yeah. The Fairy Tail Demon Duo."
Okay! That's the end for now!
Leave some power stones .
