Thread: Not Even Hell Will Destroy The Guild (Mountain Zaki & darkangel76)

Disclaimer All characters are site compliant. At an unknown time in the future... The light flickered, a crash of thunder and a crack of lightning. The ground trembled as dark clouds billowed and rolled through the sky. Black shadows swallowing up the silvery rays of moonlight and soft twinkle of stars. The air was oddly still, an ominous tension slowly building as the air sizzled with magic. This was not the familiar magic of wizards or even the nearly lost dragons. This was something far darker and far sinister than anything anyone had known. Slowly, time and space began to tear at the seams. The carefully woven fabric of existence unraveling, making worlds collide, awakening things long dormant. No one was ready for the onslaught, not even the infamous guild of Fairy Tail. Light footsteps clicked against stone, a wisp of air and a gasp of breath. He was in her sights, the one she was ready to pounce. Her instructions had been clear, her aim unquestionably specific and for her, alone, to complete. Mirajane Strauss carefully eyed the large man as he casually leaned against the brick residence. His face was shadowed, carefully concealed by darkness looming overhead. A soft growl rumbled in the back of her throat, eyes glowing red, and she dared another step forward. Mira poked the tip of her tongue out from between her lips. The tiny bit of pink moving to lick her lips as the hunger began to burn. She steadied herself, the perfect predator, the perfect being, to complete this mission. To see it through to its end. Hi, Mira said sweetly as she approached the man, her eyes searching for his. She brought a hand up and flicked her hair before shrugging sheepishly and smiling. I could really use your help. She stood in front of him, her gaze cast down before she looked up into his face. Do you think you're up for it? A light giggle escaped her, the sound sweet and nervous. Would you help me? As she bit down on her lower lip, she already knew she had him right where she wanted him. Fairy Tail Guild Lucy Heartfilia slammed her fist down on the heavy wooden table. Her dark eyes narrowed into slits, as she glanced around the guild hall. Everyone seemed to be going on about their evening like nothing was wrong. But Lucy knew better. Things were slowly sliding into chaos and it all started the day Mirajane disappeared. The blonde remembered the day quite vividly. Elfman had been a mess and his little sister, Lisanna, had locked herself away in her room. Evergreen had tried to tame the beast within the brute, but not even her charms were enough to soothe. The man had been beyond consoling. Lucy was shocked to find out that Mira had disappeared. She was an S-class wizard, powerful with her Satan's Soul. But something had happened, something had drawn the beauty away and now her family couldn't function. Lucy had tried to sway her closest friends to search for the girl. But Gray had already had a job lined up, Juvia having chased after him to tag along and Natsu...well, things had become awkward between them once she realized her true feelings for the guy. If only she could be like Erza, or her dearest Celestial Spirit friend, Loke. But she wasn't and the more awkward she let things stay, the greater her fear became that she'd lose him forever. All too often, she feared him running back to Lisanna or leaving Fairy Tail all together. She couldn't let that happen. She wouldn't! It was when Aries had come to her desperate and tearful, that she knew she had to push things aside. She had to askno, demandNatsu for help. Lucy looked over at Natsu, her heart racing as she mustered up the nerve she knew she needed. Without dwelling on things any longer, she walked over to the fire dragon and dropped a book in front of him. The book was old and tattered, dark splotches of crimson smeared across the cover and page edges. It was Levy's book. And Levy had not been seen for at least two days. You know what this is? Lucy asked as she sat down in front of Natsu. It's Levy's. She said it loud enough that anyone nearby might hear. Looking up, she saw Gajeel sitting across the way. She turned back to Natsu. She's been gone for two days, she continued. And... she inhaled deeply before slowly exhaling. And so is Wendy. I haven't seen her since yesterday. It was true. The book had made Lucy suspicious, her thoughts running wild as she tried her best to know the whereabouts of everyone. Wendy Marvel had always been someone at the top of her list, the girl now woman, having become one of her closest friends. Despite her age, Wendy had always been so innocent, so idealistic in her outlook on life. A part of Lucy had hoped Wendy wouldn't have to know all the ugliness in the world. Already, she'd been far too exposed and at far too young. But none of that could be changed and it made Lucy wish to preserve such things all the more. I can't just sit back any more, Lucy went on. She was leaning over the table now, her breasts squished between her arms and against the table top. When do Gray and Juvia get back? Did they say, did they... She stopped mid thought, her eyes pricking with tears over the loss of friends. Looking at Natsu, she tried her best not to cry. But nothing could stifle the tears, the raw emotion she felt as her guild was getting picked off one by one.
