 1 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 1

    The Tower of Heaven, or ''Resurrection-System'' is a Magic Item that allows any person to restore life upon someone who is deceased at the cost of someone else''s life. For protection and safety purposes, the construction of the tower has been forbidden by the Magic Council since ancient times.


    However, a cult of Dark Mages wishing to revive the Black Wizard Zeref began working on it years ago. The cult kidnapped children and adults alike and forced them into slavery so that they could construct the tower for them.


    They had forced and enslaved many people to work for long gruelling and exhausting days, and the slaves couldn''t do anything but just shed blood, sweat, and tears for their fate.


    The cultists kept their slaves in a very thin line, and has used many cruel acts to discipline them, and some few were just doing it for the enjoyment of torturing the prisoners.


    From the inside the tower, many prisoners consisting of any man, woman, or child were chipping the walls of rocks inside a cave.


    A random prisoner suddenly fell to his knees from exhaustion, but it didn''t go unnoticed by one of the guards.


    "Hey you! No resting on the job! So get going!" The guard yelled as he raised his whip in air.


    *WHIP!*


    "Gaaah!" The random prisoner cried out in pain as the guard just continued on whiping him with a cruel smirk.


    From the other side of the cave, a young boy with short scarlet red hair and brown eyes, watched helplessly as he saw the man being punished even more.


    "Ezra, get back to work or else they''ll see you!" Whispered a girl''s voice.


    From beside the boy was a young girl with the same facial features, short red hair and brown eye colour as him.


    "I-I''m sorry, Onee-chan." The boy named Ezra apologized as he continued back to chipping at the rock walls.


    The girl named Erza gave a reassuring smile, "It''s fine. Just make sure the guards don''t catch you doing something else." She said as she continued working.


    For as long as they could remember, the twins Ezra and Erza Scarlet were once founded by a villager in the back alleys of Rosemary Village as infants. There, the two spent the last eleven years growing up as orphans in an orphanage in the village.


    They would always stay really close to each other. Erza was the older twin. She always made sure to take care of her brother to the best of her abilities. Even with no parents, Erza made it her sole responsibility to look after Ezra.


    Ezra was the younger twin. He was always rather shy around other people, as well as he''s mostly clinging to his sister. He didn''t rely or speak much to other people except for his twin elder sister.


    They were inseparable really. The two have been always seen together out and inside of the orphanage, never trying to leave each other''s side and always doing their activities together.


    And they still did after being kidnapped by the cultists.


    Two and a half months ago, Rosemary Village was suddenly attacked by the followers of the Zeref Cult. They had either killed or abducted many innocent people and forced them to build their tower to revive Zeref.


    The twins have spent most of their lives working in this hell hole for long gruelling days, they ate nothing but dry or rotten meals, and drank from muddy water.


    It was absolute torment for them and for every other prisoner.


    *Whistle!*


    At the sound of a loud whistle, one guard shouted, "Alright, works over! Everyone get back to their cells within this minute!"


    As the prisoners hurriedly dropped their tools and did what they were told, Ezra saw many of the few guards yelling and pushing many of the slaves to move faster.


    "Hey you! Get your ass moving right now!"


    Ezra turned his head around and saw another guard beating a helpless exhausted man,


    "P-Please, mercy-Gaaah!" His pleas was ignored and he got kicked in the ribs.


    "Don''t you dare back talk at me, you worthless piece of shit!" The guard angrily exclaimed as he continued assaulting the poor man.


    Ezra continued to watch the scene in fright as he began to shake in fear a little. The boy then felt his twin sisters arms wrapping his head to her chest, preventing him from continuing to watch the scene.


    "Don''t look, Ezra. Lets just go back to our cell, okay?"


    Truthfully Erza was scared as well, but she was more afraid of what the guards would do to her brother. She had to act strong to make sure that her little brother won''t mentally break.


    Erza felt her twin brother nod on her chest as they walked away towards their cell.


    .....


    It was night time...


    Currently, the twins were found inside a large cell with rocky walls along with a bunch of other people.


    Ezra was found wrapping a roll of old and used bandages on a girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. Another noticeable thing is that the girls face had a slight resemblance to a kitten and she had cat ears.


    "And done. There you go, Millianna." Ezra said as finished wrapping the girls left leg.


    Millianna gave a sniffle as she wiped away a small noticeable tears in her eyes and smiled at the boy, "T-Thank you, Ez-kun."


    The girl had recently injured her leg by accident, and the guards wouldn''t treat her and give any sort of bandages because they needed to ''save up supply and resources''.


    Ezra nodded at the girl before turning to a scrawny young boy with black hair with black eyes, "Wally, it''s your turn now."


    The boy named Wally grunted as he held his injured shoulder in pain, he then approached the scarlet haired boy.


    "Thanks a bunch, Ez. Dumb guards had me lifting those stupid heavy rocks all day."


    "Mmm, no problem. Now please stay still for moment." Ezra said as he gave Wally a shy smile and began wrapping Wally''s shoulder.


    From the other side of the cell, Erza was currently with two other boys and an elderly old man. They watched the scene with Ezra helping Wally with his injury.


    "Wally and Millianna must have had it rough today, huh?" Said a well-portioned young boy with brown hair and black eyes.


    This was Simon.


    Apparently Simon and his little sister grew up in the same village as Ezra and Erza did. They never really met each other back in the Rosemary Village, but it was a surprise that Simon lived in the same place as the twins.


    Unfortunately when the village was attacked by the Zeref Cultists, both Simon and his sister were separated during that time around. He didn''t know what happened to his sister, but he just hoped she was alright.


    "But we can escape this place! I know we can!" Said a blonde haired young boy with dark green eyes and tanned skin.


    "Sho, keep your voice down or they''ll hear you!" Wally hissed quietly at the boy named Sho from across the other side of the cell.


    Sho flinched slightly at his mistake and apologized, "I-I''m sorry."


    The boy then felt a hand on top of his head as he looked up and saw a lean old man with pale skin. He has a long white hair, which goes midway down his back. Two strands of hair stand out from the rest and point outwards. His eyebrows are nearly as long as the hair on his head, reaching down past his chin. He has a thick grey beard, which extends down to his chest.


    The old man smiled warmly at the blonde haired boy and said, "It''s alright, Sho-kun. Just make sure you don''t speak too loudly, okay?"


    Sho gave a small nod in confirmation, "Okay, Rob-ojii-san."


    Rob gave the boy a reassuring smile and asked, "Now tell me Sho-kun, are you certain that this plan of yours could work?"

 2 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 2

    Sometime around six weeks ago, Sho had recently discovered a cracked hole that led to the outside from the Tower of Heaven.


    Unfortunately, the hole was too small for anyone to escape. So he and his friends formulated a plan of secretly digging through it while the guards weren''t looking.


    It took at least six gruelling weeks of tunnelling, but they managed to make great progress with each other''s help.


    Sho looked at the old man and gave out a nod of determination, "It''s going to work! I know it will! All of us will finally leave this damn place for good!"


    Rob smiled at the child and said, "Mmm, if that''s what you believe, then I know you kids will be able to make it out of here on your own."


    His words got the kids around the old man confused. It was then Ezra, Wally, and Millianna came up to them and asked.


    "What do you mean, Ojii-san? You''re coming with us, aren''t you?" Ezra asked as he sat next to his sister.


    Rob shook his head lightly, and smiled sadly at the group, "I''m afraid I won''t be coming with you kids."


    His words shocked the kids greatly. They saw this old man as somewhat of a grand-father, they would never want to abandon him.


    "W-What?! But why?!" Millianna asked in shock.


    Rob continued to smile at the children and said, "This old man will only drag you kids if I have went with you. And I don''t want to ruin your chances of being free because of me slowing you down."


    Erza came close to the old mans side and said, "T-That''s not true at all! Ojii-san has to come with us! If you don''t then...then..."


    Erza couldn''t mutter out the rest of what she wanted to say as she slowly became teary eyed. The red haired girl then felt a hand on top of her head as she looked up and found Rob smiling down at her.


    "Erza-chan, you don''t need to worry about me. I have always wanted you kids to run free from this place and see the world outside. I assure you child, I will be just fine."


    Erza dropped her head slightly in sadness at the old man. For the time that she, her brother, and the rest of her friends have been enslaved, it was to say that all of them had a very close bond with the Rob.


    He had told them of his time as a mage of the Fairy Tail Guild. The stories of his past adventures with his old team, their discoveries, past achievements, and everything else he has once done in his youth.


    Every story he has spoken to them have always been inspiring to them, even to both Erza and Ezra.


    Rob had even taught the twins of the true meaning of Magic.


    The very thought of leaving Rob after looking after them was something she couldn''t process, even Ezra had the same thought.


    *Creak!*


    The cell doors was opened by some guard. At the sound of their cell doors opening, everyone in the cell turned their attention to one guard and a girl with blue hair and a strange red tattoo over and under her right eye.


    "Get in there!" The guard yelled as the girl was forcefully pushed to the ground.


    "And next time, keep that damn mouth of yours shut you stupid brat!" The guard last said as he closed the cell and locking it before walking away.


    "Juliet!" Ezra exclaimed as he got up from his spot and quickly kneeled over the girl.


    "Juliet, are you okay?!" The boy asked in concern as his twin sister and the other kids joined in. Juliet Fernandes groggily opened her brown coloured eyes at Ezra who was looking at her in worry.


    (Author''s Note: That''s right kids! I gender-bended Jellal! Who dares argue against me?! Wahahaha!)


    "Ezra...Yes, I''m fine." Juliet said as she tried to get back up on her feet.


    "Ah! Hey, don''t move so suddenly! Here, let me help." Ezra said as he grabbed Juliet by the arm to helped her up. Erza got up as well and grabbed Juliet''s other arm.


    "Ezra, let me help you as well." The older twin said as she assisted her younger twin.


    Juliet looked at the red haired siblings and smiled, "Erza...Ezra...Thank you."


    The twins smiled in return at the girl, "Mmm, you''re welcome."


    The twins then brought the exhausted blue haired girl to Rob. From the time the twins were first brought to the Tower of Heaven, they first became friends with Juliet, who also happened to give them their surname ''Scarlet'' based on their scarlet red hair.


    They and their other friends looked up to Juliet more than anyone else, especially Ezra.


    Don''t get him wrong, Ezra loves his twin sister more than anything, but the boy also became attached to Juliet and grew up to rely on her as well.


    From the past two and a half months, all of them helped, comfort, and supported each other as slaves and promised that they will all make it out of the tower together.


    "Juliet-chan, are you feeling okay?" Rob asked in concern as he looked at the injuries on the girl''s body.


    Juliet nodded at the old man as Ezra began wrapping some old bandages around her injuries, "Yes, I''m okay."


    "You almost had us worried there, Juliet." Simon said as he sighed in relief.


    "Yep! I''m just glad Juliet-chan wasn''t badly hurt by them." Millianna said as Sho nodded.


    Wally then crossed his arms to his chest and said, "Though she wouldn''t be hurt if she kept her mouth shut."


    The reason for those injuries around Juliet is because she managed to prevent a guard from beating another old prisoner. Juliet of course stood up against the guard, but unfortunately the results were obviously bad for her.


    So, she spent some time in the Punishment Chambers and she was forced to endure some torment from the sadistic manager. But truthfully, she never regretted a thing of what she had done.


    Simon slightly frowned at Wally for that remark, "Wally, Juliet was only trying to help that poor man."


    "I know, I know. But I''m just worried those bastards might take it too far, and I don''t want any of us to end up in an even worse condition than we already are." Wally said.


    Ezra finished wrapping Juliet''s injuries as he fixed the patch and tied it, "There, that should hold."


    Erza then looked at her blue haired friend and asked, "How are you feeling?"


    Juliet rolled her shoulders slowly as her face visibly showed her cringing in pain, "It still hurts a bit, but I''ll be fine soon."


    Ezra gave the girl a smile of relief, "I''m glad you''re okay, Juliet."


    The blue haired girl smiled brightly at the boy, "Thank you, Ezra. I''m happy that you and Erza are doing fine yourselves."


    Ezra blushed lightly at the blue haired girl as he shyly turned away from her. Juliet giggled at the boys reaction as the elder sister smiled at her twin.


    Back at the village they had grown up in, Ezra used to have a hard time making friends. Erza didn''t mind that he was always clingy to her, but that''s just how she never stopped loving him because it. His shy nature quickly made her grow up to be the responsible older sister she is right now.


    Plus, even if the place they were in was horrible, she was happy that her brother was making new friends at least.


    "Lights out!" one guards shouted from the outside. Immediately, all the torch-lights went out, indicating it was finally time to rest.

 3 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 3

    The prisoners began to take their places on the ground of their cell as the kids and Rob began exchanging their good nights to each other.


    "Seems like its lights out now. Erza, Ezra, goodnight." Juliet said as she lies down next to the twins.


    "Good night." The twins said together as they laid themselves to the ground and cuddled up close to each other. Erza held her twin brothers head to her chest as they held their hands together in comfort.


    "Good night, Onee-chan." Ezra said as he began to close his eyes.


    Erza smiled at her brother and kissed the top of his forehead, "Good night, Ezra."


    Erza then began to close her eyes as well as she held Ezra close to her.


    .....


    Two days have passed....


    Things are still going regularly for the twins and for the other slaves. It was just another day of picking and carrying some rocks for the construction of the Tower.


    As the scarlet haired duo continued to pick at the rocks, someone started to quietly call out to them, "Psst! Erza! Ez!"


    From the corner of their eyes, the twins turned and saw both Wally and Millianna hiding behind a rock wall, completely hidden away from the guards view.


    Wally made a hand motion, which showed that they had to follow him, "Come on! Sho and Simon just finished up the hole, and Juliet''s going to meet with us there! Now''s our chance!"


    "Er-chan! Ez-kun! We need to hurry, quick!" Millianna whispered in encouragement.


    The twins cautiously looked back and saw that the guards weren''t looking at them from their direction.


    Erza turned to her younger twin and grabbed hold of his hand, "Ezra, let''s go."


    Ezra gave a low nod at his sister as the two quickly ran towards their friends. The four kids then proceeded to ran towards their destination.


    It was finally time for their escape.


    .....


    *Later*


    In a secluded part of the tower, Wally, Millianna, and the twins finally made it to the deeper parts of tower. In front of them were Juliet, Sho, and Simon waiting for them besides a human sized tunnel.


    "Nee-san! Nii-san! Over here! Hurry!" Sho called out to them.


    "Sho! Don''t talk so loud!" Wally ironically yelled at the blonde haired boy.


    "Wally is the loud one! Meow!" Millianna chided at him.


    Wally dropped his head and gave a silly sheepish smile, "O-ho. Sorry, Millianna."


    Simon just looked at the twins, "Erza, Ezra, hurry up or we''ll be found out by those guys."


    Erza was about to follow her friends to the tunnel, but she stopped as she noticed that her brother was trembling, "Ezra, what''s wrong?"


    "Um, um....I-I...don''t know." Ezra said with a nervous voice.


    Erza looked at her twin in concern, "Eh? What do you mean?"


    Ezra continued to tremble as he nervously gave his answer, "W-What if they find us??...I-I know how they treat the kids who get found¡­."


    He wanted to leave. He desperately wanted to leave the tower with his sister and his friends, but Ezra was now starting to have second thoughts about it. He was too scared of the consequences if they get found.


    For the time he has spent in the tower, Ezra has been noticing more and more children disappearing by the week after they''ve done something daring as escaping, and none of them ever came back. They very thought of it frightened the young boy.


    As Ezra continued to tremble, he then felt a pair of soft hands grab his shoulders. He immediately stopped shaking as he lifted his head and saw Erza smiling at him.


    "Ezra...I promise I won''t let anything happen to you. No one will ever hurt you as long as I''m here. I will protect you, okay?"


    "Erza''s right, Ez." Everyone turned their heads and found Juliet walking towards them.


    "Don''t be afraid. We almost have our freedom. We have to do this for our futures and dreams."


    Juliet stopped in front of her friends and faced Ezra with a reassuring smile, "Let''s go, Ezra."


    Ezra looked at both his twin sister and Juliet as he wiped away the incoming tears and nodded, "Mm!"


    Juliet nodded back at the red haired boy and faced her other friends, "We need to move quickly. I don''t know how long the guards will notice our disappearance, but we-!"


    "Hold it right there!"


    To the kids shock and horror, a bunch of armed guards came rushing towards them. They were found out! The kids had nowhere to go as it was already to late for them to escape.


    The group immediately backed themselves against the stoned wall as they all looked at the grown men in fear and anger.


    Erza quickly pulled her brother close into her arms as the younger twin began to tremble again.


    "Did you really think you can escape that easily?! Lousy brats! Just wait what I''ll do to you!" A fat cultist yelled at them as he whipped in the empty air, causing a snapping noise and making the kids flinch in fright.


    "We''re on a very strict schedule with this R-System!"


    A lanky cultist began to speak, "We''d be up the creek if the development were delayed in any way....On a principle alone, I should toss you little bastards in the Disciplinary Chamber."


    The kids looked horrified at the mention of that chamber, especially Ezra. It was exactly the same place where the other children never returned.


    "But..." The lanky man continued.


    "Just for today, I''ll settle for just one of you..."


    "Who was the mastermind behind this escape?! Only that person will be held accountable. The rest of you will get off with a slap on the wrist! Am I benevolent or what? Hahaha!" He said as he made a sick smirk and laugh.


    Sho began to tremble and sob as he was the one who planned for the whole thing. He didn''t want to have his friends get in trouble, but he was too afraid to say anything.


    Erza noticed the blonde boy''s frightened state, and then looked back at her terrified twin brother. At this point he might be picked for his ''suspicious'' reaction. She made a promise to Ezra that she wouldn''t allow anyone to hurt him.


    "I-..." Erza was about to speak up, but unfortunately was interrupted.


    "It was me." Juliet stood up and answered to man guard, much to her friends'' shock.


    "I planned it all and told them what to do! So don''t hurt them!"


    "J-Juliet¡­" Sho sniffled out her name.


    "Is that so?" The lanky man said as he gave a mocking frown and hummed to himself. He then lowered himself to face the twins, more specifically to Ezra.


    "It was the red haired boy, wasn''t it?"


    "What?!" Erza and Juliet shouted in shock and horror as the lanky guard accused Ezra.


    "Take him." The lanky cultist ordered another guard as he tried to rip Ezra off his twin sister''sembrace. It wasn''t long till the boy was forcefully grabbed by the back of his tattered shirt and dragged off.


    Erza quickly stood up from her spot and shouted, "Wait! It wasn''t him! It was me! I planned it all!"


    "Onee-chan?!/Erza?!"" Both Ezra and Simon exclaimed in shock.


    The lanky guard turned back at Erza, "Really now? You claim you are the one responsible for this silly plan of escape?"


    Juliet started to protest, "No, it was-..."


    "Yes! It was all me! I made my brother and friends do what I told them to do, so I''m the one responsible! So let him go!" Erza yelled.


    The cultist began to tap his chin in a thinking manner and finally spoke, "Hmm...I don''t believe you little girl."


    Erza and her friends widened their eyes in shock. The older twin wanted to continue to protest for her brother, but that''s when he spoke again, "But...If you''re so desperate, then you and your brother will share the same punishment."


    "What?!" The kids all shouted in shock as Simon gritted his teeth.


    Another guard came up and grabbed Erza by her tattered clothing and was forcefully dragged off with her brother.


    "O-Onee-chan...*Sob*..*Sob*.."


    Ezra was silently crying as they were dragged off. The older twin then gave the boy a reassuring smile, "It''s okay, Ezra. You don''t need to be afraid. Onee-chan is here for you."


    In all honesty, Erza was afraid. But she was terrified of what might happen to brother, so she had to act strong for him.


    Juliet tried to run up to the twins, but unfortunately, was stopped by one of the guards with a kick.


    "Erza, Ezra...." Juliet said as she clenched her stomach in pain.


    "Pipe down down kid!" The guard yelled at her.


    The lanky man turned back at the kids with a mocking smirk and said, "None of you will be eating for the next three days! Well, it''s a lot better than spending time in the Disciplinary Chamber eh? Ahahaha!"


    The lanky guard laughed loudly as he walked away with the twins in tow. Juliet got up and could only glare hatefully at the men who took away her friends.

 4 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 4

    The guards heading towards the Chamber as the twins were being dragged around by their tattered clothes. After a minute, they finally reached the place and he opened the door.


    "Get in there!"


    The twins were forcefully shoved and kicked inside a room that was full of tools and equipment meant for torture.


    Ezra saw all the equipment and he was terrified, he then ran over to his sister''s embrace.


    "Onee-chan!!"


    Erza held on to her twin brother tightly as she began to say soothing words for him, "Shh...Don''t worry, Onee-chan''s here now."


    The lanky and fat cultist entered the room along with some guards, and they came up to the twins with the door behind them being closed and locked. The fat cultist smiled creepily as he went to pick up some of the tools.


    "Awwww, how sweet. But who will be the first to receive their punishment, huh?"


    Ezra began to tremble again, but Erza only glared at the two men, "Do whatever you want with me! Just leave my brother out of this!"


    The two men grew a pair of cruel smirks as the two other guards separated the twins from each other.


    "That has already been arranged, little girl."


    "Onee-chan!"


    "Ezra!"


    The siblings called out to each other as the struggled in the adult''s tight hold. The lanky guard grabbed the whip from his waist and approached Ezra.


    "No! Stop! I said you can do whatever you want with me!" Erza yelled as she struggled even harder.


    "Oh don''t worry. After I''m finished with the boy, you''re next." He said as he raised his whip in air before strongly bringing it down.


    "NOOO!"


    .....


    Sometime later, in other places.....


    "Gaah!"


    The guard screamed as his body was slashed against his chest. Besides him were teo other dead guards, lying with fatal wounds on the ground.


    Juliet was currently standing over the guard''s dead body with a sword in hand as she panted out.


    After successfully slipping past out of her cell, the blue haired girl attacked an unsuspecting guard and taking out his sword before killing him. She then made her way to the Disciplinary Chambers with a plan to rescue the twins alone.


    So far she had managed to sneak past some of the guards, but now she was forced to kill three, who managed to spot her.


    "Erza! Ezra! Where are you?!"


    Juliet began to run further down the cave as she finally made it to the Disciplinary Chambers. She knew where it was located, as she was sent her in the past many times.


    She then saw a closed cell in the room with both of the twins on the ground, all beaten up and had blood all over their bodies as they cuddled up to each other.


    Juliet widened her eyes and dropped her weapon as she ran up and opened up the cell doors. She got down on her knees and shook at the twins'' lying bodies.


    "Hey, hey! Get up! Get up, Erza! Ez! Please!"


    Juliet stopped shaking their bodies as she noticed something on Ezra''s back. The girl widened her eyes in shock as she saw the Tower of Heaven''s large symbol freshly burned through Ezra''s skin.


    "Ezra..." Juliet whispered in horror as she saw the brand on the boy.


    The blue haired girl then turned to Erza and she was absolutely horrified.


    Her right eye was gone....


    "Why....Why would they do such a terrible thing...?" Juliet asked herself as she began to tremble.


    Not in fear, but in anger!


    "WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS?! DAMN THEM!" Juliet let out an enraged roar, making an echo inside the cell as she punched the ground with her fist.


    "...Juliet?"


    Juliet widened her eyes as she heard Ezra''s voice weakly say her name, "Ezra!"


    "Juliet....Is that you?"


    "Erza!" The blue haired girl cried in joy again as she also heard Erza''s voice as well.


    Juliet started to become teary eyed as she was relieved that the twins were still alive, "Ezra...Erza...Thank goodness! Everything''s fine now! I came to save both you!"


    "H....How?" Ezra weakly asked.


    Juliet smiled at the two, "There''s no turning back now. We only have to fight."


    "Fight..." Erza managed to mutter out.


    *BAM!*


    "Ugh!"


    Juliet was suddenly struck from the back of her head as a guard appeared from right behind her.


    "This is the brat! This brat killed three of our men!"


    "Damn, she''s just a little squirt!"


    "Don''t just kill her off! We''ll make an example out of her!"


    A bunch of other guards arrived and they began kicking to beat the poor girl. The girl forced herself to endure the pain she was receiving. It wasn''t as painful as compared to what they did to her friends.


    One of the guards pointed at the lying twins and yelled out, "Oi! Get these two back to their cells! We have a new piece of shit to deal with!"


    Following those words, two guards came up to the siblings and picked them off the ground, leaving Juliet alone to be continued on being assaulted by the guards.


    After a quick and rough treatment at the twins'' injuries, the guards brought the twins back to their normal cell where everyone was waiting.


    *Creak!*


    At the sound of the doors opening, everyone saw both the scarlet haired twins walking inside their cell in a wobbly manner before both them fell to the ground.


    "Erza! Ezra!"


    "Nee-san! Nii-san!" Their friends shouted their names before running at them and helping them up.


    "H-Hey....So you two were okay?" One of their cellmates said.


    Another prisoner snapped at the guy, "Moron! How can you say they''re okay?!"


    Simon looked at the two and saw that Ezra was clinging onto his older twin for dear life. He was also concerned when he saw Erza wearing a medical eye patch around her right eye.


    "What about Juliet? She said she was going to get past those bastards and save you two."


    Neither of them gave out an answer, instead they just silently sat. Simon was about to ask again, but Rob interrupted him.


    "Just let them sit quietly! Poor kids, they must have suffered a lot in the Chamber."


    Simon turned to the old man, "But...What about Juliet?"


    Rob began to sadly shake his head at the boy and said, "I bet they caught her and took her in their place."


    Simon then turned his hand into a fist and gritted his teeth in anger.


    Sho began to tremble as tears started to well-up and fall, "...I...*Hic!*...*Hic!*...I''m sorry...I''m so sorry! Uwahhhhh!"


    The blonde haired boy began to wail loudly that it could be heard from the outside. Two guards ran up to cell and opened it. They then banged at the bars with their swords.


    "What''s with all the racket?!"


    Their answer was seeing the poor boy crying loudly, it irritated them both, "Shut up you stupid little brat! Otherwise I''ll cut your tongue off!"


    Wally came to Sho''s side, "Calm down, Sho."


    "Sho-kun, it''s okay. Jiji is here." Rob followed suit as he tried to comfort the boy, but unfortunately Sho kept on crying.


    Erza began to tremble from all of the commotion as she felt her brother shaking as well.


    She hated it. She hated how they were treated, how many people have suffered, how many have died, how her friends were tormented, and most importantly, she hated how she couldn''t stop those men from torturing her brother.


    ''We have to fight.'' Erza thought silently as she gritted her teeth.


    She just had enough!


    Erza removed herself from her brother and lunged at the guard, "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"


    Much to the guards, Ezra, and everyone else shock, Erza grabbed the other guard''s spear and ripped it out of his hands before swinging it to smack the two guards on the face with a sudden strength gain.


    "Huh?!" The other cellmates gasped in shock.


    From the other side of a different cell, another group of prisoners heard the commotion, "What''s going on?!"


    "It''s coming from the other cell!"


    "It''s a revolt!" Yelled one of the guards from outside.


    Erza gripped onto the spear with a newfound determination. She faced her brother, friends, and other cellmates and said.


    "We won''t get freedom by obeying them or running away! We have to fight! Stand up! Stand up for our freedom!"


    "Onee-chan..." Ezra muttered out in awe. This was a completely new side to her that he has never seen before.


    Simon stood up from his spot and said, "Erza''s right! I''m done having to listen to these guys! All of us can finally break free!"


    Wally and Millianna followed, "Yeah! It''s time for some payback!"


    "That''s right!"


    Sho wiped away his remaining tears and gave a hardened look, "I''m going to help too!"


    One by one many of the prisoners began standing up and roared in agreement that it was finally time to fight back. Many had families and homes they wanted to return too, and they weren''t going to let anyone take that away from them.


    Erza walked up to her brother and held out her hand towards him, "Ezra, it''s time to go. Juliet''s waiting for us."


    From behind her were their friends were smiling at him in encouragement. His sister has been protecting him in all her life, but seeing that she found a new strength, it made Ezra want to protect her this time.


    Ezra gave his older twin a determined nod as took Erza''s hand and got back up, "Let''s go save her!"

 5 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 5

    Before this chapter begins, I just wanna say something.


    So I''ve seen alot of people whining in the comments about the MC being a fuckin pussy and a cry baby and already disliking him and all that shit.


    Wait for the fuckin story to develop you *****! He''s not gonna be like that forever! Is it because of the ''alpha MC''s when they were a child'' stories that you''ve grown to already dislike the MC in this book? Been so long since you guys seen an MC that will actually develop a change of mentality do you? You f**ckin beta male readers!


    By the way I''m not pissed or anything. Just disappointed.


    Now on with the chapter.


    -----


    Inside the Disciplinary Chambers....


    Juliet had her hands tied up to a wooden post as the same fat guard was whipping at her. But, the fat guard was frowning in the lack of entertainment. He wanted to hear her scream, but the girl would just keep on a stoic face as she closed her eyes.


    The fat cultist gave one more lash against Juliet''s face, surprisingly the girl didn''t even cry out in pain or flinched. The fat guard then clicked his tongue as he rubbed his aching shoulder.


    "This girl doesn''t even utter a sound! No fun at all!"


    The lanky man was currently found sitting on a rock while smoking, "Remember that girl a few days ago? Wasn''t she scared and crying constantly?"


    The fat man turned to his fellow cultist and smirked, "Yeah, that was fine piece of work!"


    With those words, both of them began to laugh cruelly. The fat cultist then gripped onto Juliet''s face as he tightly squeezes her cheeks.


    "Oi, little squirt, do you know what a sacred task it is to complete the R-System? On the dawning day the tower is completed, you will all be taken to paradise. The R-System can revive our God! Revive the last dark magician!"


    "Shut up pig." Juliet responded.


    The fat cultist didn''t take to kindly of the girls insult, "Wha?! What did you say?!"


    The fat cultist was furious, he then began lashing at the blue haired girl again with his whip with more force, "You think that''s something you can say to a High Priest like me?!"


    As the man continuously kept on whipping Juliet, the lanky guard suddenly stopped him, "Don''t mind what a little brat says. Let''s go, we still gotta put down those uppity slaves this afternoon."


    The lanky man then walked towards the door. The fat cultist stopped whipping as he gave out tired breaths of exhaustion.


    "Until you learn to respect our god, you won''t set a foot outside of this place!" He angrily exclaimed as he followed the lanky man out of the room


    Juliet was left alone inside the cold empty room with nothing but utter silence while her hands was still tied up.MAfter a short period of silence, Juliet began to speak for herself.


    "God, huh? There''s no such thing....I don''t need a god that can''t even save a child like me....even if he''s real."


    She hated them....


    She hated every last one of them!


    The girl began to angrily grit her teeth hard and began shaking in anger, "I hate them....I hate them all! Those guys, their ''god'', I hate this entire world!"


    "Hate strengthens me..." Said a raspy voice.


    Juliet was startled at the voice as she moved her head upwards, but there was nothing there. She then frantically turned her head from different sides, but unfortunately no one was there.


    "Those arrogant peasants...I''ve been here this whole time..." The voice continued to speak.


    "Who-...Who''s there?! Where are you?!" Juliet roared out.


    "And yet they think to ''revive'' me....They want me to take a ''bodily'' form....No matter how much faith you have, it''s futile. Without a strong hatred, you cannot truly feel my presence. You''re very lucky, kid, you have the chance to meet the god worshipped by many..."


    "Come out!" Juliet demanded, completely fearless to the unknown entity.


    A reddish-black matter appeared and began moving around the blue haired girl. She widened her eyes and she began struggling as she felt a dark entity surrounding every part of her body.


    "My name is Zeref...Hate is the reason for my existence..."


    .....


    The sounds of an uproar and shouts spread all across the tower. Every prisoner were set free from their cells thanks to everyone else''s efforts.


    Currently an entire army of escaped prisoners were fending off against the guards with any kinds of tools that they could find. The pickaxes, swords and spears of dead guards, shovels, and even rocks! They were using every object that can be used as a weapon.


    "A revolt! Take them down!" One of the guards joined in the fray as others followed.


    As the fight continued to rage on, one guards spotted Wally and charged right at him. However, Wally turned the tables as he quickly punched the guard across the face, putting the guard down to the ground.


    "Don''t mess with Mad Dog Wally!"


    Because of all the lifting and picking on heavy rocks, Wally''s strength was more than an average human. The same can be said for some other slaves.


    Simon charged at another guard and kicked him in the face, "Thanks to you bastards for toughing me up!"


    Sounds of metal clashing and people crying in pain were heard during the entire revolt. An iron door on the left suddenly opened and another wave of guards came charging at the slaves.


    "A bunch of slaves think they can take win?!"


    "Kill them all! Kill all those who rebel!"


    However, many of rebels remained unafraid as many kept fighting back, "Don''t be afraid! Numbers are on our side!"


    "Take their weapons! We will have our freedom!"


    Among the rebelling slaves, Erza was leading her group with both a sword and shield in hand. Ezra was behind her with his own weapon in his hands as he had a steeled look plastered on his face.


    "Today we''re going to free the 8th Sector! Good luck everyone!" Erza said loudly.


    However, one prisoner spoke out his thoughts, "We can''t! There are too many soldiers there!"


    Ezra looked at the man, "But, if we don''t save Juliet soon-..."


    As they both continued to argue, Wally found Simon looking at Erza while a set of red cheeks spread across his face. Wally realized what Simon wanted to do as he came up to his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder with a teasing smile.


    "Are you afraid of confessing, Simon?"


    It was no secret to him that Simon fell in love with Erza. And also, it wasn''t the best time and place right now to tell her how he felt.


    But....


    Simon shoved Wally off him as he approached the red haired girl, "Erza."


    The twins turned to the black haired boy and Erza asked, "What is it?"


    Simon nervously looked down at his feet for a moment before meeting Erza in the eye, "Erza, there''s something I wanted to tell-..."


    *Blast!*


    The kids all widened their eyes in horror as Simon was suddenly hit with some kind of blast across his face. He was sent flying to the air as Milliana cried out.


    "Simon!"


    Out from the corner of their eyes, everyone widened their eyes in shock and horror as a bunch of guards were holding some glowing and flaming staffs on their hands.


    "Magicians!"


    *BOOM!*


    Some of the rebel group screamed in pain as many were blasted awah and was sent flying into the air by the explosions.


    "Retreat! Retreat for now!"


    "We can''t fight those magicians!"


    Erza turned to her retreating allies and called out to them, "You can''t! Don''t give up everybody! Either we fight or we all die!"


    However, everyone just ignored her and kept running while also being shot at by magic.


    Erza gripped the handle of her sword tightly and cried out again, "We have to save Juliet now!"


    "Onee-chan!" Ezra cried out. While the older twin wasn''t looking, Ezra saw one magician pointing his staff at them and fired a blast of magic at their direction.


    "Look out!" Their friends yelled.


    As the blast came closer and closer at the two, Erza reacted by dropping her sword and raising her shield up quickly and brought Ezra into her arms to minimize the damage on him.


    *BOOM!*


    As the explosion occured, Erza didn''t feel any occurring pain or force from the explosion. She and Ezra looked at the front and widened their eyes in shock as they saw that Rob was standing right in front of them with his arms spread out.


    He took all the damage for them...


    "Ojii-san!" The twins cried out the old man''s name with tears falling down their eyes.


    Rob gave out a weak chuckle at the two, "A-..A useless geezer like me...was good for something...after all. Even if I gave up ''magic'' long ago...Erza-chan...Ezra-kun, you two still have unlimited potential....That''s your heart..."


    .....


    *Flashback*


    "Our heart?" Ezra asked the old man while sitting beside his sister. The twins were currently found listening to Rob about the meaning of Magic.


    Rob smiled at the red haired siblings and nodded, "Yes, everything begins from you believing with your heart. You can think of tarots, faith, prayer, and such as ''magic''. It''s a miracle that only true believers can experience, and only those who believe that magic exists, believe in themselves, and believe they can coexist with everything in nature, can use such a thing as ''Magic''."


    The twins'' brown eyes shined in excitement and gained wide smiles at the old man''s explanation of magic, "Magic...That''s so cool!"


    Erza grabbed a broom from the ground and used it like a Witches broomstick and hopped around excitedly, "I''ll become a Magician someday, and fly around the sky on a broomstick!"


    Ezra joined in with his sister as he grabbed a stick from the ground and waving it around like a wand, "Me too! I''ll become strong so I can protect Onee-chan, Ojii-san, and everyone else!"


    The elderly old man smiled warmly at two and said, "I know you two can."


    *Flashback Ends*


    .....


    Rob fell to his knees as he managed to say a few more words, "I never thought I could see those smiles again in a place like this..."


    "Ojii-san!" The twins quickly ran up and tried to catch the old man.


    "Freedom is in your heart...Erza-chan...Ezra-kun...Your dreams will surely be fulfilled..." He said with his last dying breath as he fell face first to the ground.


    The twins could only stare in horror over the poor man''s dead body as a large stream of tears poured out from their eyes.


    Wally was kneeling over Simon''s damaged body with his own tears falling, "We have to take Simon to a place safe!"


    He then turned his head towards the twins, "Erza, let''s retreat for now!"


    Erza didn''t respond to her friend as she and Ezra continued to stare at the lifeless form of Rob.


    "Aaaaaaahhhhh!" Erza then let a loud scream as the swords on ground suddenly began to rattle.


    Wally looked at his friend in confusion as he, his comrades, and the cultists noticed something happening with the weapons.


    "Erza?"


    Erza continued to scream loudly as a bright red light with mystical symbols formed under her feet. A strong gust of wind was blown around her and the ground began forming cracks. Suddenly, all the weapons on the ground started rising to the air and pointed to the guards, shocking everyone seeing it.


    "Eh? Those weapons are floating..." One guard said.


    Erza reached out her arms at the guards and all the weapons was sent flying at them.


    *Whoosh!*


    Hundreds of weapons was sent flying at the guards. Stabbing, smacking, and sending all of the guards flying away at the barrage. More and more cultists were flung to the air either injured, unconscious, or even dead.


    The surviving guards screamed in fear as they saw the weapons removing itselves from the ground and corpses before levitating again and launched itselves at them.


    (Insert Being Stabbed SFX)


    The second wave of attack wiped out the remaining guards. The rebels were in absolute awe of what they just saw.


    They just witnessed Erza use magic.

 6 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 6

    "W-Way to go Erza! She defeated them in a flash!" Wally cheered.


    "Nee-san can use Magic!" Sho exclaimed in awe.


    Erza looked at the palm of her hand before she squeezed it into a fist, "This is magic..."


    With the new power she has now she can save Juliet. The red haired girl looked over her younger twin, that was still continuing to weep over Rob''s lifeless boy. The older twin came up to him and kneeled by his side.


    "Ez, can do this. We can save Juliet, and win our freedom. For Ojii-san''s sake, let''s at least do what he wants us to do."


    Ezra looked at his sister with tears in his eyes as he nodded in understanding, "For Juliet and Ojii-san..."


    Erza smiled kindly at her brother before taking his hand and lifting him up back to feet. She grabbed her sword from the ground and held it in the air with a cry.


    "Come with me!"


    The prisoners all roared and cheered as they raised in their weapons in the air, Erza''s display of strength clearly boosted their morale. They all began charging towards the exit with the twins running in front of them.


    Some of the remain cultist began to tremble in fear as a large wave of people were charging straight for them. There were now only a few of them left because of Erza''s attack earlier.


    "R-Run away!" One guard yelled as he dropped his spear and ran towards the other direction.


    Very soon many other guards followed after as every last one of them ran away from the enraged mob they have enslaved for years. Some were taken out by the rebels as the former slaves came closer towards the exit of the cave.


    From a distance, Erza could see a clear view of a large ship that was big enough to hold everyone.


    "There''s the ship! Now''s our chance and be free from this tower!" Her allies all cheered as they quickly ran towards outside.


    Wally stopped for a moment when he was suddenly grabbed by the arm. He turned his head and saw Erza holding onto his arm.


    "What''s up Erza?"


    Erza lightly pushed her brother towards her friend and said, "I need you to look after Ezra while I''ll go look for Juliet."


    The kids widened their eyes in shock as the twin protest, "What?! But I want to go with you!"


    Erza looked at Ezra in the eye, "I know you do. But please, stay with Wally and others until I come back with Juliet."


    Ezra still had a look of defiance and kept pressing on, "No! I want to save Juliet too! I promised I would protect you both!"


    The older twin smiled warmly at her brother, "Ez, this is something I have to do on my own."


    "But-..."


    "Ezra, I promise that I will come back with Juliet and all of us can escape together, okay? You just need to be patient."


    Ezra dropped his head in sadness of being prevented of coming with Erza to save Juliet. While he could understand what his sister was saying, he just wanted to protect her and Juliet as well.


    Ezra then gave a low reluctant nod to his sister as Erza gave a sigh of relief. She the turned towards Wally, "Bring Ezra to the ship with the others. I''ll be there once I get Juliet."


    "You sure you''ll be okay on your own?" Wally asked.


    Erza got up and answered, "Don''t worry, we''ll be back before you know it."


    Wally nodded at the girl, "Alright. But be quick ya hear?"


    The female twin nodded back as she grabbed another sword from the ground and sprinted back inside the tower to save Juliet.


    Seeing Erza off, Wally turned to Ezra and held his hand, "Come on Ez, everyone else is waiting."


    Ezra didn''t say anything but did what he was told and ran outside with Wally.


    .....


    The scarlet haired girl was currently found rushing through the caves the Disciplinary Chambers.


    Erza stopped in her tracks as she saw three other men and the same two cultists who tortured her, Ezra, and the rest of her friends.


    All five men looked at the girl fearfully as they began to sweat nervously. The lanky cultists raised his hands at Erza and said.


    "Wait! Wait! We know we wronged you and your brother before, but we were only following orders from above! We had no choice but to do what we did!"


    Erza didn''t bother to listen as she slowly walked towards them with both swords in her hands. It was then the fat cultist spoke, "W-We are the only ones left from The Order. How about w-we all make peace, huh?"


    To her answer, Erza gave the men a hard cold look with her one good eye, "Out of the way."


    Erza quickly rushed at them as she created a powerful force of wind just by swing her blades. The remaining men was sent flying into the air and knocked out as Erza ran past them.


    As the scarlet haired girl ran deeper in the chambers, she soon stopped in her tracks as she found Juliet tied up to a wooden post by the wrists.


    "Juliet!"


    Erza then ran towards her as she cut the blue haired girl loose with her sword, "It''s okay, it''s all over! It''s just like you said, we all stood up and fought!"


    Juliet didn''t say anything rather then just by keeping silent. Erza however kept talking to the girl.


    "Simon is badly hurt. Rob-Ojii-san protected me and Ezra, and...many others sacrificed themselves..." She said in a low and sad tone.


    Erza then gained a wide smile with a single tear falling out from her eye, "But we won! We''re all free!"


    Erza then lifted the unresponsive girl by the arm and held her up to her feet, "Let''s go! Ezra, Wally, and the others have taken those guys'' private ships. We can leave this island!"


    "Er...za..."


    Erza widened her eyes as she heard Juliet spoke. She was then taken off guard when Juliet suddenly hugged her and whispered, "We don''t have to run anymore..."


    "Eh?"


    It was then that Erza felt that Juliet''s hold on her began to tighten as she could feel her body wincing in pain, "Juliet...?"


    Juliet raised her head from Erza''s shoulder as a dark smile spread across her face, "True freedom is right here..."


    .....


    From the outside of the tower and on a ship, many of the former slaves all cheered, danced, hugged, and cried in absolute joy of finally being free after so long.


    From the side of the ship, Wally was currently found with Millianna as the black haired boy was rummaging through the crates. His eyes then widened in excitement as he found something.


    "Hey look at this! It''s a Magic Movie Crystal!"


    Millianna tilted her head in confusion, "Magic Movie Crystal?"


    "It''s a magic crystal with a movie recorded in it. I can''t believe those guys would have something like this!"


    Again, Millianna was confused, "What''s a ''movie''?"


    "It''s a story. Actors take it and play it for everybody!" Wally summarised for the girl and then continued.


    "But, I''ve never seen one before."


    Wally then pressed a button from the side of box, and to their surprise, a holographic moving image of a dandy-looking man shot off his gun at another man, "I''m sorry, Tony Joe..."


    The main character said as he blew the smoke from his gun, tilted his hat downwards, and looked at the audience, "But your fate was sealed the moment you met me."


    Wally gained a ten-megawatt smile as his eyes shined in admiration for the actor, "That''s so deep!"


    Millianna however just looked at her friend like he was crazy. As Wally continued watching the movie, it was then that he remembered a certain red haired boy.


    "Hey Ez! Come check this out! I bet you''re really gonna like this!" Wally said as he turned his head to him. However, much to Wally and Millianna''s shock, Ezra was gone.


    "Huh? E-Ez?! Where did he go?!" Wally stood and turned his head frantically in search of the missing red haired boy.


    "Ezra?!"


    .....


    "Juliet, what are you saying?! Let''s escape this island together!" Erza tried to convince her blue haired friend, but instead, Juliet kept walking away from her.


    "Erza...Freedom does not exist in this world..." Erza looked shocked when Juliet said that. She then heard Juliet continue.


    "I''ve finally realized, what we need is not fleet freedom. True freedom...lies in Zeref''s world."


    Erza became unnerved as Juliet turned around and showed Erza her dark crazed look and smile. Juliet slowly walked up to an awake but lying cultist and said.


    "I''m beginning to appreciate their feeling, their desire to revive Zeref. But those guys could never feel Zeref''s presence, they were only a bunch of pitiful believers."


    She then stomped her bare foot on the cultists face with a cruel smile, "Isn''t that right?"


    The cultist gave a low shriek in fear as Juliet continued, "The tower is mine. I will be the one to complete the R-System and resurrect Zeref."


    Erza now became frightened by Juliet''s sudden change of character. She started trembling of how Juliet was acting, "W-What''s wrong with you Juliet? I-I don''t understand what you''re saying-..."


    Much to Erza''s horror, she covered her mouth with her hand as Juliet crushed the man''s skull with her foot with blood covering the bottom of her feet and her face having a cruel smile.


    "Hahahahaha!"


    Erza watched again as Juliet approached another man who begged to her, "P-Please stop!"


    Juliet didn''t listen as she instead swiped her hand in the air as the cultist was suddenly pushed by an invisible force that sent him flying towards the rocked walls, killing him upon the fast impact.


    Erza widened her eyes in shock, "Magic?"


    Juliet continued to laugh as she approached two other men as she then swiped air hands again in air as both men flew to the walls upon impact then dying with their blood spilled all over.


    "Stop! Juliet!"


    Juliet looked over her shoulder to Erza, "Stop? Don''t you hate these guys Erza? Besides, weren''t they the ones who tortured you and Ezra as well?"


    "Y-Yes, but this is..."


    "That won''t do. You''ll never feel Zeref''s presence like that."


    Juliet then turned her attention to the last man who began running away. Unfortunately, he wasn''t even able to make it as Juliet reached out her arms and blasted him with magic.


    *BOOM!*


    Erza was forced to turn away and closed her eyes at the scene as Juliet just gave another crazed laugh.


    "Ahahahaha!"


    "Juliet, get a hold of yourself! It must be because you''ve been tortured for days..."


    "I''m just fine." Juliet said as she turned around to face Erza.


    "Erza, let''s complete the R-System together....No, The Tower of Paradise together!"


    Erza gritted her teeth at the blue haired girl, "Stop talking nonsense! We''re going to leave this island-..."


    *BAM!*


    "Kyaah!"


    A powerful invisible force suddenly pushed Erza back as she was sent flying to the outside. She painfully tumbled down a pile of rocks and into another mining section of the tower as she landed on her front.


    Juliet came out from the entrance and looked down at the girl, "Fine. If you want to leave so bad, then go by yourself."


    "By myself?!" She said shocked. If she did that then it would mean leaving her friends behind.


    To leave Ezra behind...

 7 Escape from the Tower of Heaven End

    "The others belong to me, I''ll need sufficient manpower to complete the Tower of Paradise. You don''t have to worry, I won''t be like those guys. I will give everybody clothes, give them food, let them rest, and even give them wages. Because labouring under fear and brutality is much too indifferent." Juliet said.


    Erza glared at the blue haired girl and exclaimed, "What are you talking about? Everyone is already on the ship! They''re all waiting for us! They''ll never come back to this island to work!"


    "Those guys never told them the purpose of their labour. I will tell them that the true purpose of their work is to revive a great magician known as Zeref!"


    "Juliet, please open your eyes..." Erza begged. However, with a motion of Juliet''s hands, a dark spectral phantom arm suddenly grabbed Erza by the throat as it squeezed her neck.


    "It...hurts!.."


    As the crazy blue haired girl continued to let the arms choke Erza, she said, "I don''t need you anymore. But I won''t kill you, I am thankful that you took care of those guys who were in the way. Insignificant ''freedom'', if you want. Go and pursue your fleeting."


    "Juli...et..."


    Juliet began to slowly walk down the hill of rocks and approached Erza, "I think you understand that what happened here is not to be spoken of to anyone. If the government gets wind of the Tower of Paradise, this rare opportunity will be ruined."


    Juliet stopped right in front of her as she continued to speak, "When we are found out, I will have to destroy the evidence by destroying this tower and everyone in it. And I''ll start with Ezra and the others."


    "Juli...et..." Erza began to let a stream of tears fall from her left eye as she found herself helpless to do anything.


    "That''s your precious ''freedom''! Go on and live while carrying the lives of your friends and brother upon your back, Erza! Ahahahahaha!"


    As the ghostly arms began to grip her throat even tighter and tighter, Erza''s vision began to fade.


    ''Ezra...I''m sorry...Onee-chan won''t be able to keep her promise...''


    "Juliet! Stop!"


    Erza''s eyes snapped wide open as she and Juliet looked above them and found a panting Ezra.


    "Ez...Ezra?!" The older twin said in shock. Shouldn''t he be with the others on the ship?


    "Oh my, Ez, what are you doing here? Shouldn''t you be on the ship with everyone else?" Juliet asked in a mocking but sweet tone as she continued to grip Erza''s neck.


    Ezra just stared at the blue haired girl nervously for a second before speaking, "Juliet, please stop! You don''t have to do this! Just come with us on the ship so we can leave!"


    Juliet just shook her head in mock disappointment and said, "Oh Ezra, if only you understood what the true purpose of this tower truly meant."


    "What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.


    Erza continued to struggle against the phantom arm''s grip as she looked at her brother, "Ezra, don''t listen to her! Just hurry and go ba-Guh!"


    "Onee-chan!" Ezra exclaimed as the spectral arms tightened his sister''s neck.


    Ignoring the cries of the twins, Juliet turned her attention to Ezra, "Ezra, this place isn''t what you would originally think of it. All this time we have been building a tower that would lead us into paradise."


    "Paradise?"


    Juliet gave a crazed gleeful look and nodded, "Yes, a paradise that only Zeref can give us. Unlike those fools, they never really understood what it was like to have felt and spoken to Zeref himself. Even your own sister cannot understand herself. We can continue building this tower together with everyone so that Zeref may lead us to his world of freedom!"


    Juliet extended her hand towards the boy and continued, "Join me, Ezra. Together, the two of us can accomplish so many things by completing this tower, and Zeref will grant us eternal freedom. We can live the rest of our lives as a king and queen, together!"


    Erza could only listen helplessly as Juliet tried to persuade her brother. However, that only made the female twin angrier at Juliet of trying to use Ezra in front of her even after the crazy blue head said that she would threaten him and her friends.


    However, much to Erza''s relief and Juliet''s disappointment, Ezra shook his head rapidly, "I don''t want any of that! All I want is for you, Onee-chan, Sho, Wally, Simon, Millianna, and everyone else to leave this island for good! I don''t anything to do with paradise or Zere-..."


    Much to Erza''s horror, Juliet swiped her hands in the air as Ezra was suddenly flung away to the side as his small body landed on the hard ground with a loud thud.


    "NOOO!"


    Juliet then gave a sigh of disappointment at the boy, "I''m really disappointed in you, Ezra. And here I thought you could understand better than your sister here. Guess I was completely wrong about you-.."


    *BAM!*


    Much to Juliet''s shock, Erza somehow managed to regain her strength and head-butted Juliet as the spectral arms vanished when the girl lost her concentration.


    Juliet held her head in pain as she growled at Erza, "You.."


    Juliet was suddenly struck on the cheek as Erza punched the crazy blue head right across the face and was sent to the ground.


    "Ezra!" The female twin yelled to her brother as she ran over to his lying body.


    Juliet glared over her shoulder at Erza as she used her telekinesis to stop the scarlet haired girl in her tracks. With a swipe of her hand, she sent Erza flying away from her brother.


    "Kyaaahhh!"


    Erza slammed against the wall as she groaned in pain. She then looked up and saw Juliet approaching her with a menacing look.


    "I gave a chance for you two to join me. But yet, you and Ezra still share a view of inefficient freedom."


    She raised the palm of her hand as a flare of magical power was pointed directly at Erza, "But unfortunately, if you can''t see how things can go with Zeref''s world...then you two are unfit to be a part of it."


    Ezra groggily lifted his head and widened his eyes in shock as Juliet was about to blast his sister. He tried to push himself back to his feet, but unfortunately fell back down due to the pain, "O...Onee-chan..."


    Erza remained unmoving as her entire body refused to move in fear and Juliet just gave a dark smirk.


    "Goodbye Erza." She fired a blast of magic towards the female twin.


    Ezra could only watch helplessly as the blast came closer and closer towards his sister.


    He hated himself for being useless to Erza...


    He hated himself for not being strong or courageous as her when she led the revolt...


    He hated for not doing anything right now!


    He promised himself that he would always protect her. That they would always stay together. That they would grow up together. That they would do everything together. That they would never leave each other.


    He promised her...


    "STOP!"


    As Juliet''s attack was about to hit Erza, a large cloud of dust and smoke spread across the entire room. As the smoke began to fade, Juliet widened her eyes in shock as Erza was unharmed.


    "What?!"


    Erza was also shocked that she was unharmed by Juliet''s attack. Right before their eyes, Erza was protected by a barrier of multiple red glowing swords.


    "Magic?" Erza muttered in confusion.


    "No more..."


    The girls turned around and found Ezra back to his feet. Another thing is that they noticed his eyes changed from brown to bright red while releasing a red aura.


    "Ezra?"


    "No more! Don''t hurt my Onee-chan anymore!"


    From his loud cry, the weapons around Erza began to spin rapidly in a circular motion as they all pointed towards Juliet while crackling with some kind of red energy. The blue haired girl widened her eyes in shock as the blades all flew towards her.


    Juliet began blasting the attack with her magic as the swords shattered into pieces. However, hundreds of swords suddenly appeared in thin air as they quickly flew towards her.


    Juliet quickly retaliated by destroying them with another wave of blasting with her magic as she clicked her tongue.


    "Tch! I would never anticipate that Ezra would use magic as well. I may not be able to destroy them all, but I can always get rid of the source!"


    Erza widened her eyes as Juliet shot a blast of magic towards her brother, "Ezra! Get out of there!"


    As soon as Juliet''s attack blasted the boy, the same barrier of swords protected the boy as Ezra remained unharmed.


    A single sword suddenly appeared in thin air as it flew towards Juliet. The girl didn''t have time to react as the blade slashed her shoulder, leaving a deep bloodied cut.


    "Gaaahhh!" Juliet held her injured bleeding shoulder in pain as she fell to a knee.


    Multiple glowing swords suddenly appeared and began forming above the girl as they all pointed directly at her. Juliet widened her eyes as many of the blades came down on her.


    *BOOM!*


    All the swords exploded on impact, greating a strong gust of wind and leaving a large dust cloud in the entire room as Erza was forced to cover her left eye.


    As the dust finally settled, Erza uncovered her eye and stared in shock as she found an unconscious Juliet lying on the ground with small cuts and bruises.


    Ezra''s eyes suddenly changed back to his original colour as he passed out from magic exhaustion. Erza noticed that the swords began to vanish with a spark as soon as her brother fell to the ground.


    Erza quickly ran over to her brothers side and shook him, "Ezra! Ezra, are you okay?!"


    Much to the older twins relief, Ezra slowly opened his eyes again at his sister, "Onee-chan..."


    The boy managed to mutter out before passing out again. Seeing that her brother was okay, she lifted him up and carried him on her back.


    "Lets get out of here."


    As she was about to leave, Erza stopped for a moment and looked at the unconscious form of Juliet.


    In all honesty, as much as Erza wanted to leave the girl who tried to kill her and her brother, and tried to enslave her friends just to continue building the tower, Erza wasn''t that heartless to leave Juliet like that.


    As Erza was about to approach the blue haired girl, she was then struck to her stomach by a fast and solid round object.


    *BAM!*


    "Guh!" Erza then fell to her knees and onto the ground in pain. She then heard another young girl''s voice.


    "How disappointing. To think that Juliet would lose so quickly to a little boy. But, his magic is quite impressive."


    ''W-What?!...W-Who is..?'' Erza thought as her vision began to quickly fade away


    "But no matter, she still has her uses...All will go according to plan..."


    As Erza''s vision finally faded, she only managed to see a girl around her age with dark purple hair, tending to the unconscious Juliet.


    .....


    On the Shores of Fiore....


    In the middle of the night, Erza woke up on a wet sandy beach in the middle of nowhere. She forcefully pushed herself up with her arms and looked around her surroundings of where she was.


    "Ezra....Ezra?!"


    She began to frantically turn her head to different directions in search of her brother. Erzastopped moving her head and found her brother lying not too far from where she was.


    She quickly got back up to her feet and tried to run towards her brother. Unfortunately, she fell back to the sand, but that didn''t stop her.


    Erza tried to get up again and rushed to her brother''s side and dropped her knees over his body. She rolled him over to his back and quickly placed her ear against his chest.


    Much to her relief, Ezra was breathing.


    Erza placed her brothers head on her lap as she pressed their foreheads to each other. Tears began to well up on her left eye as they fell onto her brother''s face.


    Erza began to cry loudly to the full moon.

 8 Timeskip

    Inside of a random town, an army of bandits and two people was breaking out a fight. Even though the bandits had the number advantage, they couldn''t just defeat the two people.


    *BOOM!!*


    "Graaahhh!"


    Multiple bandits cried out in pain as they were sent flying to the air. The rest of the men looked at their lying comrades in shock as they were taken out in an instant.


    "S-Shit! How strong are these two?!"


    In front of them were two teens with matching red hair and brown eyes.


    The girl was a seventeen-year old who wore a custom-made armoured chest plate and gauntlets with a blue skirt, black boots, and a diamond shaped silver earrings.


    The other was a seventeen-year old boy who wore a.....


    (Authors Note: I don''t know how to describe Knight Emperor''s clothing ok. Just know that Ez is wearing the exact same attire as the man in the Cover Image, and the same can be said for his sword. But he doesn''t have that cape yet ok.)


    They were Erza and Ezra Scarlet. The Titania and Oberon of the Fairy Tail Guild!


    "So what do you think everyone back in the guild is doing?" Ezra asked his sister.


    Erza brandished out her sword and replied to her brother, "Hopefully they aren''t causing too much of a problem back in Magnolia. If not, then I''ll see to it that they''ll be punished if anything happens."


    Ezra sweatdropped and chuckled nervously at his twin sister''s answer. He just hoped the others behaved or else they would have to deal with Erza''s fist.


    The twins then found that multiple bandits came charging at them at once with weapons raised in their hands while letting out a battle cry


    Erza got into stance and Ezra smiled as he pulled out his classic but fancy-looking sword, which strangely had a blue gem on the middle of its stylish guard.


    It didn''t take a long time for a bunch of cannon fodder level bandits to be defeated by the twins. They were all beaten up badly and was left on the ground to be apprehended by the authorities.


    .....


    Six years have passed ever since the incident with the Tower of Heaven.


    Inside on a train returning home to Magnolia after completing another successful job, Ezra couldn''t help but think to himself.


    He was happy that he and his sister escaped that hellish place a long time ago, but he couldn''t help but think about his other friends on what happened to them. But he assumed that some of them must''ve escaped.


    Wally, Millianna, Simon, Sh?, Rob, and everyone else...Especially Juliet...


    Ezra gave a mental sigh once he reminded himself of that name. Aside from his sister, Juliet was another person who he trusted the most out of everything. She would always help him, support him, and comfort him like his older twin does.


    He looked up to Juliet and despite being imprisoned, Ezra couldn''t help but feel his heart pound every single time she smiled at him. No matter how many times she was tortured or exhausted, Juliet would always keep her head high and smile no matter the pain.


    In all honesty, if Juliet or his sister hadn''t been there to comfort him every time, he would have lost it...


    Though, after what happened six years ago, Ezra couldn''t help but grimace slightly at what happened with Juliet''s sudden change...


    He never knew what came over her and his sister would always avoid answering his questions regarding what happened to her. He didn''t want to be forceful to Erza. No, he could never be forceful with her at all.


    Ez knew it too, that his twin didn''t want to recall bad memories from long ago. Ezra loves his older twin more than anything and he''ll respect her decision to keep things a secret for now...


    "Ez, is something wrong?" Ezra turned his attention to his older twin sister who was sitting in front of him with a plate of strawberry cake in her hands.


    The younger twin noticed that there was a slight look of concern in her eyes as Ezra quickly waved her off, "N-No! Nothing''s wrong. I-I''m sorry for worrying you, Nee-san."


    Erza smiled a bit at her twin, "It''s nothing to worry about. I was just wondering why you were staring off into space. It is very unlike you, especially since you have some pie crust on the bottom side of your lips."


    Ezra looked at his twin confusingly before looking at the reflection of his face from the window and found small crumbs of pie crust and jam on the side of his bottom lip. The redhead blushed in embarrassment.


    "A-Ah! My bad..."


    Erza giggled at her brother as she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and leaned towards her younger twin, "Here, let me get that for you..."


    Ez found himself blushing again at the closeness of his twin. It wasn''t because Erza was babying him, no, it was because how close their faces were. He mentally screamed at himself to stop his rapid heartbeats.


    As Erza finished cleaning the crumbs off of Ezra''s face, she soon looked up to lock her brown eyes with his own. The older twin blushed herself not before sitting back down in her seat.


    The twins continued to sit in silence for a few more moments before Ezra broke it, "U-Um, thank you, Nee-san."


    "Y-Yes, it''s no problem, Ezra." She said as she began to eat her cake again in silence. Wanting to get rid of the current mood, Ez quickly changed to a new topic.


    "So, what do you think everyone back at Fairy Tail is doing? I bet they''re all doing what they usually do, especially Natsu and Gray." Ezra gave a light chuckle of remembering the two certain rivals.


    Erza gave a low sigh, "I must agree with you, though I do hope those fools haven''t caused too much trouble for the Master. Especially that white-haired harlot..."


    She muttered the last one to herself. Ezra however still heard her and gave a small smile, "You''re still angry at Mira, huh? It was only an accident you know..."


    The older twin shook her head and scowled, "That was no accident, Ezra. That slut tried to forcefully have her way with you while your guard was down. If I hadn''t been to stop her you would have fallen into her clutches!"


    "Nee-san, she wasn''t trying to seduce me. Mira tripped on one of the mugs by accident during the guild''s last brawl and I caught her. That''s all." He tried to reason with her.


    "That was only a ploy! That wench wanted you to catch her to believe it was an ''accident''! Did you see what she did the moment you caught her?! It''s just one of her devious ploys to seduce you!"


    Ezra lightly shook his head at his twin but still gave a small smile in amusement. Although he wouldn''t mind to be in a relationship with Mirajane, his sister absolutely wouldn''t allow it.


    For as long as he and everyone else knew, both Erza and Mira had a very serious type of hate-rivalry going on between each other. He didn''t exactly know what started it in the first place, but it was to say it did not start off on a good note.


    Ez could still remember the day that his twin sister and Mira nearly trashed the entire guild for the first time when they were going at it at like mad dogs. No one was safe that day...


    Much like Natsu and Gray, both his sister and Mira has been butting each other''s heads for years, which now became a daily routine for them.


    Only a lot more violent.


    Though despite his older twin and the elder Strauss hating each other. Ezra have a strangely friendly relationship with the white-haired demoness. Sure she does tease him from time to time, but that''s only to annoy and irritate Erza to no end.


    Plus, Ezra did learn from the other Strauss siblings, Lisanna and Elfman, that their sister can be sweet and kind whenever she wants to be, she just rarely shows it to anyone.


    He kinda wished she would show it a bit more often. Mira has treated him like that many times im the past and Ezra found it really cute.


    Shaking the thoughts out of his head, Ezra turned back to his sister and grabbed her hand as he rubbed his thumb on her knuckles.


    "Nee-san, you know that no one is ever going to take me away from you. I promised you a long time ago that I would stay with you no matter what happens." He comforted her with his usual shy smile.


    Erza had a moderate timt of red in her cheeks but gave a smile of relief, "I know you won''t...Forgive me for being overdramatic, Ezra. It''s just that I..."


    The elder Scarlet sibling stopped speaking as she felt a warm hand cupping her cheek as Erza looked up and met her younger twin brothers brown eyes staring at her own.


    "I know...I''m not going anywhere anytime soon."


    Erza placed her own hand on top of Ezra''s and smiled beautifully at him, "Thank you."


    The twins stayed like this for a few moments before stopping as the intercoms of the train were on and announced.


    "Attention passengers attention. We have now arrived at the Magnolia Train Station. Please remember to collect all personal items before leaving the train. Thank you."


    The twins separated from each other as Ezra spoke up, "Good to be home, huh?"


    Erza nodded, "Yes, now let''s head back to Fairy Tail."

 10 Mira is Back

    Fairy Tail was considered to the strongest and greatest guild of all of Fiore. However, it was also known to be the loudest and the most destructive guild of all of Fiore.


    Throughout the guild''s history and generation, Fairy Tail has done a lot of crazy things that ended up gone wrong...


    Stopping a band of bandits, accidentally destroyed half a town.


    Hunting a monster, burning an entire forest to the ground.


    Bodyguard certain people, have the client end up in a body cast and wheelchair.


    Handing out flyers, demolished a bunch of random buildings.


    ...


    ...


    Either way, Fairy Tail has the highest number of collateral damage throughout their years as a guild. And yet somehow they magically managed to get away with it.


    But no matter how crazy, insane, loud, lazy, destructive, or violent these people were, they were still good people. And speaking of violent...


    *Bam!*


    Everyone stopped whatever they were doing as they turned their attention to a random guild member who came in through the front entrance like he''s seen a monster.


    He was sweating rapidly, pale-faced, and panting in exhaustion. He then caught his breath before speaking up loudly, "Bad news guys! It''s Mira! She''s back earl-!"


    *Bam!*


    The poor guy didn''t get to finish his sentence as the front entrance again was kicked open, causing the guy to be flung into the air and crash into a bunch of tables.


    "Ugh!" Everyone groaned.


    They just cleaned that dammit!


    Coming from the entrance were two figures. The first was a young petite girl with short white hair and blue eyes.


    She wore a short, dark red dress with a white collar and bow. Upon her arms above her elbows, she wore gold rings with a pale pink fabric flowing down from them. She wore tall, black socks along with brown shoes.


    This was Lisanna Strauss. A Take-Over Mage.


    The other figure was a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; she has some hair covering her forehead and a slightly dark red ribbon tied to the back of her head.


    She has large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts. She wore a black short tank top, a skimpy dark purple mini skirt with a white belt buckle, black thigh boots, and two silver bracelets on her right wrist.


    This was Mirajane Strauss. Another Take-Over Mage, older sister to Lisanna, and one of the S-Class mages in the Fairy Tail guild.


    "Fairy Tail''s strongest woman is back home!" The older sibling announced with an arrogant and cocky smirk on her face.


    "Hey, guys! We''re back early!" Unlike Mira, Lisanna was more cheerful with an added warm smile.


    "Nee-chan! Lisanna! Welcome back!"


    A large, muscular man with tanned skin, whose height causes him to tower over most of his fellow guild members, approached the siblings. His long white hair is kept styled upwards in long, wavy spikes, and his dark eyes possess no visible eyebrows.


    He wore a formal black Japanese school uniform, with five golden buttons on his jacket with a white trimmed collar, and brown shoes.


    This was Elfman Strauss. Younger brother to Mirajane and older brother to Lisanna. Also another Take-Over Mage.


    Lisanna smiled brightly at the sight of her brother and ran up to him, "Elfman-nii-chan!"


    The two then embraced each other while laughing joyfully. Mira casually walked up to her siblings with her arms crossed over her chest.


    "Good to see you too Elf."


    Elfman turned to his older sister and smiled, "Yeah! I''m happy to see you too, Nee-chan! So how was the job? I bet you two were manly out there huh?!"


    Mira rolled her eyes as Lisanna giggled at her brother and answered, "Not too bad really. Mira-nee and I took care of the problem with no trouble at all."


    The older Strauss smirked and said in a cocky tone, "Yup, even if it was such an easy task, the villagers thanked us by throwing a celebration in our accomplishment. I''m telling you, these jobs are getting a lot easier."


    Lisanna continued, "Since we didn''t expect to be finished early, Mira-nee and I wanted to come back and surprise everyone."


    "Is that so? Well, I should tell you both that you aren''t ones who finished so soon. Both Ez and Erza just came back a few minutes ago like you two." Elfman said.


    Both female Strauss siblings blinked their eyes a bit before Lisanna spoke up, "Really? Both Ez and Erza are back?"


    Mira however, snorted, "I bet the tomato head couldn''t handle the pressure and begged Ezra to take her home."


    She mocked with a smirk. Erza overheard of what Mira just said and angrily marched towards with a worried Ezra following behind her.


    "Says the harlot who casually walks around looking like some cheap street whore in broad daylight! I wouldn''t be surprised if the townsfolk would have been offended by how you act and dress." She said as she stood several feet away from them.


    Mirajane gained a tick mark and stomped towards Erza, coming in near face to face, "Well, well, well, look who it is. At least I''m not some armor wearing freak with nosebleed hair! I also don''t need to hide my figure from people by wearing scrap pieces of metal, unlike you. And it''s a real shame too, Ez must be tired of carrying that fat ass of yours!"


    This time Erza gained a tick mark and soon angrily butted heads with the older Strauss sibling, "Care to repeat that again, slut?!"


    "I''d be more than happy to do so, but I prefer to shove that sword up your tight ass!"


    "Bitch!"


    "Fatty!"


    "Whore!"


    "Armor freak!"


    "Demon slut!"


    As the two continued to throw more insults at each other, Ezra, Lisanna, and Elfman stood by together while watching their elder sisters verbally assault each other.


    As they went on, Lisanna gave a low sigh, "Looks like they''re at it again, no surprise."


    She then faced the male Scarlet twin, "So anyway Ez, how was the mission with you and Erza Elfman-nii-chan said you guys finished earlier like Mira-nee and I."


    Ezra answered, "It went well. Nee-san and I handled that bandit problem without any trouble. How about you, Lisanna? I''m guessing you and Mira-san were easily successful in completing your task, huh?"


    The younger Strauss sibling nodded her head excitedly, "Yep! The villagers were even kind enough to throw us a feast after we finished helping them. It was really exciting and fun!"


    It was also fortunate that Lisanna left out the part where Mira threatened a guy for trying to flirt with her while he was drunk.


    The only thing the dude got out of it was two black eyes, a few missing teeth, some bruises, and needing therapy after having his dick got kicked ten-times over...


    The poor unfortunate fool never knew who he was dealing with...


    "Hmph! It''s no secret that my sisters are strong enough to get stuff done no problem! It''s manly!" Elfman boasted with a large proud smile as Ezra and Lisanna chuckled at the muscular male.


    "Oh, that reminds me, before leaving I bought a few souvenirs for everyone. I have yours right here, Ez."


    Lisanna pulled out her bag, she fished out a small wooden turtle carving in her hands and presented it to the red-haired twin. Taking the item off Lisanna''s hands, Ezra examined the small gift and spoke.


    "Wow, this is really stylish. Thanks, Lis!" He said sincerely with a smile.


    Lisanna smiled back, "I''m glad you like it. By the way, have you seen Natsu or Happy around? I''m pretty sure they''ll be excited about the gift I got for them."

 11 A Date? Possibly

    Ezra looked up to the huge hole on top of the building and he said, "Oh right, Natsu and Gray are-!"


    *Bam!*


    "Ow! Watch how you use that hammer, you moron!"


    "Me?! How about you quit getting all over my space and let me do my work!"


    "That looked like you intentionally hitted me you fuck!"


    "Are you kidding me?! It looks like you haven''t done any shit except screw things up!"


    "What''d you say?!"


    "You heard me, ya Flaming Turd!"


    "Fuck you stripper!"


    From above them, the three could hear the sounds of yelling and bickering before it turned into sounds of fighting. As the conflict went on from above, the group could faintly see the recently cover of wooden boards until....


    *Snap!*


    "Waaaahhh!"


    The wooden boards broke apart as two individuals fell from the ceiling and to the ground below.


    *Crash!*


    Ezra, Lisanna, and Elfman all winced at the sight of the fall, as both the Ice Mage and Dragon Slayer groaned and moaned in pain. A blue cat then floated down with them.


    "Natsu?! Are you okay?!" Lisanna said before quickly rushing over to her ''husband'' and kneeling to his body.


    The only response she got from him was an "Aw..."


    "Yeah, he''s fine." Said the watching guild members.


    Both Ez and Elfman did the same for Gray as the red head asked, "Gray, you alright?"


    "That was one manly fall you guys took!" Elfman said.


    "Not the righ time, Elfman!"


    Rubbing the back of his head in pain, Gray was still able to give an answer, "Yeah, I''m fine, but this shouldn''t have happened if it wasn''t for that idiot destroying the roof again!"


    The pink haired mage turned his head at the seemingly somehow now clothes-free Gray, "Me?! The hell you talkin'' bout?! This is your fault, you ass!"


    "It was obviously your fault! If you hadn''t distracted me, we would have finished sooner! Now look what you did! We gotta do it all over again!" Gray exclaimed as he pointed to the opened holed ceiling.


    Natsu retorted back, "As if! You''re just-!"


    "Okay, that''s enough you two." Ezra spoke up.


    "Guys, I know you two don''t get along well with each other sometimes, but I asked you guys to fix that hole before Master Makarov returns. So you gotta do it, or else..."


    Gods forbid how many times the old man nearly had several heart attacks of how expensive the cost of property damages were.


    "He started it! What''d you say?! Fuck you Ice Prick/Flame brain! Raaah!"


    Natsu and Gray pointed at each other childishly before they began to wrestle with each other on the floor as a comical dust cloud covered them.


    From the sidelines, Ezra, Lisanna, and Elfman all looked at the scene before them while Happy was found being carried by the youngest Strauss with a fish in his mouth.


    "Even after falling from the ceiling, those two still have a lot of energy to throw punches at each other..." Ezra sighed.


    "Yeah, but what else can you expect from them? They''ve been this way ever since they laid eyes on each other..." Lisanna said as both her brother and Happy nodded in agreement.


    Speaking of which....


    "The hell did you just say?!"


    Everyone''s attention, including Natsu and Gray that stopped their fight and turned their heads to the source, were soon converted to the sides as they saw Erza holding out her sword threateningly at Mira who looked unfazed and smirking.


    "Mira...Would you care to repeat what''d you just say?"


    The elder Strauss sibling smirked, not even caring if the point of Erza''s blade was close on the tip of her nose.


    "You must have a really shitty hearing if you of all skanks are asking."


    "Don''t test my patience, you harlot! Now I''m going to ask again...And you better answer me truthfully..." The female red head said slowly as she brought her sword closer to Mira''s face.


    "Is. It. True?" She pressed on as the white-haired woman only smirked.


    Right before Mira could answer, Ez decided to intervene, "Nee-san! That''s enough! You and Mira shouldn''t be fighting or else the guild will be ruined! Now please put your sword away and let''s-eppp!"


    Ez was suddenly pulled close to meet his twin sister''s glaring eye as she tightly gripped on his shirt, "Ez..I''m going to ask you this once and you better answer me honestly....understood?"


    The younger twin nervously nodded his head as he felt his sister''s grip loosen but still keeping a firm hold.


    It was not often that Erza would demand something out of her brother like this, it was mostly because it was for his own safety and Ezra knew about. But sometimes his older twin sister would do it for some other weird reasons...


    Maybe.


    "Now...Ezra is it true that you and Mira...were planning to go on a date next week?!"


    ...


    ...


    ...


    "WHAAAT!"


    Everyone around them widened their eyes and yelled in shock, while some females were squealing at Mira''s courage as a woman to actually ask Ezra on a date.


    Well, who wouldn''t want the man? Ezra basically looked like the male version of his sister, but nicer. Erza was really beautiful while Ez was incredibly handsome. He was actually approached by many females in the past, but Erza would just chase them away.


    Ezra began stuttering, "W-W-What?! N-N-Nee-san, what are you talking about?! Mira and I...! W-We aren''t like that! It''s just...!"


    "T-Then why did that bitch say you two were planning on going out of town?! And why the hell is it you''re going to be alone with her?! W-W-Were you two planning on-?!"


    Ezra shook his head and said interruption, "N-No! Nothing like that! M-Mira, please tell her that its not like that!"


    The male twin pleaded to the white-haired demoness. But she just gave a mischievous smile as the female twin turned her head to her.


    "Ara, but Ez, didn''t you agree that you would go out with me to another town for next week, alone together? You seemed pretty excited when I asked you out." The demoness said ''innocently''.


    Everyone was silent as a gentle breeze was only thing that could heard in the background. They all stood in still with their mouths open of what the older Strauss just said.


    Erza slowly rotated her head to her brother and proceeded to shake him violently.


    "What is the meaning of this, Ezra?! Why are you leaving me?! I thought you wanted to be with Onee-chan together forever! Did that bitch swindle and corrupt you while I wasn''t looking?! Tell your big sister everything now and I''ll help lead you back to the right path!" Erza had a crazy look as she yelled at her brother hysterically.


    "Gah! N-Nee-san, wait! Please, calm-Bwah!" But to no avail, Ez couldn''t spill out a proper answer as his older twin sister kept shaking him violently.


    From the sidelines, the others were watching the scene with amused and shocked expressions on their faces of what was happening. Elfman then spoke out,


    "Oi, Ez! It''s not manly to do something like that with somebody else''s sister!"


    Lisanna just sighed as she already knew what her sister was doing. She then held happy closer to her chest as she said.


    "Elfman-nii-chan, you should already know that Ez isn''t like that, and Mira-nee is only making things worse...right?"


    Unfortunately, Elfman ignored her as he kept ranting about how unmanly it was to take another man''s sister. He was truly oblivious of what was really happening.


    "I don''t get it. What''s going on?"


    As well as for the pink haired mage, as he asked in confusion. The blacked haired stripper then scoffed at him.


    "Have you not been paying attention? Wait, don''t answer that because you''ll just say something stupid anyway."


    "The fuck you''d just say?!"


    "You heard me!"


    And like that, chaos has ensued once more in the Fairy Tail guild. While Erza just ignored the situation and dragged her brother''s hands as they walked back to their home to have a long talk.

 12 The Talk

    It was night time....


    Inside of a regular medium-sized house, Ezra was currently found cleaning around the house while his older twin sister was occupied somewhere else in the bathroom.


    After clearing up the misunderstanding back at the guild in the last few days, it was revealed that both he and Mira made some arrangements to go on a job together to another town for a while.


    His sister was relieved that it wasn''t a date, but she still didn''t like the idea of him being alone with that white-haired whore of all people.


    Both she and Mira have hated each other for a very long time. Ezra could still remembered it a long ago on how they started hating on each other


    It was only a few years ago when he and his sister grew more adapted to the guild being their new home.


    He remembered when the doors opened to three white-haired siblings walking inside the guild with curious, amazed, and slight cautious expressions, and then later hearing Master Makarov announcing them as new members of Fairy Tail.


    He still remembered how both Lisanna and Elfman were open and friendly with everyone, while Mira was quiet and distant. It reminded Ez how Erza was like that once when they joined Fairy Tail.


    Speaking of his twin sister, Erza once tried to form a conservation with Mira, but instead brushed her off and kept to herself mostly.


    When suddenly, after a few days, Mirajane Strauss showed up with a major attitude change along with a whole new look to boot.


    She was more lively, arrogant, rude, and haughty as she scared everyone who saw her that day.


    Natsu and Gray were the very first two victims of the demoness'' change...


    Erza, being the strict and authoritative one, tried to talk down to Mira about her treatment with the other guild members, but it didn''t go as she planned it to be.


    Again, Ezra didn''t how it happened, mainly because he stayed behind with his friends outside, but he knew that in the next moment the guild was trashed more than how it regularly was during the brawls.


    And thus began a very hateful rivalry...


    So many people were hospitalized that day...


    After Ezra finished cleaning, he was currently found packing some of his belongings in a large suitcase for tomorrow''s job with Mira. He could have his Requip Magic to store all his things, but he didn''t want to be lazy about it.


    Both he and Mira agreed to meet up early for the morning train since the trip would take four hours or so upon the arrival. And honestly, Ezra was quite nervous a bit.


    This was his first job working together with another person other than his twin sister. Don''t get him wrong, Ez both admires and respects Mira for who she is and what she''s capable of.


    But the thing was she had a very nasty habit of teasing him whenever the opportunity was open to her.


    Damn his stupid shy personality! He thought he would grow that out of that once he got older, but no!


    Maybe he let Erza baby him too much? I mean seriously their twins for crying out loud! Sure they both don''t know who was the oldest since they were orphaned, and yes he was a few inches shorter than she was as kids, but still...


    "Ez?" Speaking of which, the younger twin came out from his thoughts and focused his attention towards Erza.


    She was standing outside his bedroom with her pajamas and her hair a little wet.


    "Oh, Nee-san, is there something you need?"


    She shook her head, "No, I just came to tell you can use the bathroom now, I just finished using the tub...And I see you''re packing for tomorrow, aren''t you?"


    Ezra gave a small sigh, "Nee-san, are you still upset about this?"


    "Frankly yes, I am. I understand if you wanted to go on a job with one of the other guild members, but going with her of all people was the very LAST thing I would consider you doing!" She exclaimed as she crossed her arms with a stern glare.


    "Nee-san, I know you and Mira don''t get along, but I promised that I would help her on the next job she wanted to do." He said.


    "And she couldn''t get her siblings or anyone else to help her?" The older twin questioned.


    Ezra answered as he scratched the back of his head, "Well Lisanna wanted to spend some time with Natsu and Happy, and Elfman said he was helping Gray and Cana with another job. And you know how the others feel about working with her after...Umm, you know"


    When Ezra had said that, Erza knew exactly what he meant. Apparently, when they were younger, Mira did once work with other Fairy Tail members before, but...


    Let''s just say they weren''t heard from after weeks of intensive care and therapy...


    "I was around that time and I voluntarily asked if I could join her, and she said yes." Ez finished explaining.


    "And why have you never told me about this before?" She demanded with her narrowed eyed still pointing sharply at him.


    "I knew you would be angry of the idea of me being alone together with Mira even if I told you anyway. So...I uhh...kept it from...you...I''m sorry..."


    Erza still kept her stern, authoritative gaze on her twin brothers form until moments before she relented and gave a defeated sigh.


    "Very well, it can''t be helped then. I still don''t like you being alone with that harlot, but I''ll let it slide for now because I can trust you are responsible enough to not do anything funny with her."


    The red-haired male rose his head, "Really? That''s great! Thank you so much-!"


    "But!" Ez stopped speaking as Erza continued.


    "You aren''t off the hook just yet. You still hid from me about you and Mira going on a job together alone, and I think a proper punishment should be in order."


    "P-Punishment? Nee-san, I don''t think-!"


    "Is that a problem?" Ezra fidgeted on the spot as the female twin gave her brother another glare which made Ez to rapidly shake his head.


    "No! No problem at all, Nee-san!"


    She then nodded, "Good. Now clean yourself up first and then come to my bedroom afterwards. I shall enact your punishment there tonight."


    With that, Erza exited out from her twin''s room, leaving Ezra to himself for the next few moments.


    *Later*


    After finishing his bath, Ezra was currently found outside his twin''s bedroom door. He knocked on the door a few times before he heard her.


    "Come in."


    Swallowing down a small bit of his saliva, Ezra opened the door, it was where he found Erza sitting on the foot of her bed with her arms crossed along with the same stern look on her face.


    "Good, you came."


    Ez scratched the side of his cheek with his finger and muttered quietly, "Y-Yeah, you sort of made it that way so that I couldn''t say no..."


    "What was that?"


    "Nothing! I was just wondering what my punishment is going to be...?"


    "Oh, yes, umm...Ez, you have to..."


    The twin brother looked at his sister questionably as he noticed she had an embarrassed look on her face and has red cheeks as she slightly faced away from him.


    "I''m sorry, what? Can you repeat that?" He asked.


    Again Erza''s cheek grew red as she tried speaking up, "You have to....eep with me..."


    "Nee-san, please speak up. I can''t hear what you''re saying." He pressed.


    The female twin''s entire cheeks now turned permanently red as her brown eyes met her brothers own.


    "I...I want you...to s-sleep with me tonight..."


    "Heh?"


    ...


    ...


    "Eeehh! W-Why?!" Ezra yelled, shocked as his entire face turned beet red.


    Erza looked equally red in embarrassment, "N-Never mind why! This is your punishment, so deal with it!"


    "B-But we haven''t slept together since we were kids! Why are you asking this now so suddenly?"


    The female twin looked away in embarrassment, "I-It''s just only to keep an eye on you...."


    "Thats it! I know I said earlier I can trust you to be responsible, b-but as your older sister it''s my responsibility to make sure you don''t have any deprived thoughts before tomorrow! So stop complaining and lay down next to me!" Erza exclaimed as she laid on one side of her bed, leaving the other side free for her brother.


    Seeing no more room for argument, Ezra nervously made his way towards the bed and slowly laid himself right next to his sister.


    Erza then switched off the lamp on her nightstand. Darkness filled the room as the moonlight from the outside was the only source of outlet for the twins to see one another.


    Laying face-to-face, a sense of awkwardness was filled in the air as neither twins bothered to look at each other in the eyes. After a few more moments of silence, Erza spoke.


    "E-Ezra..."


    "Y-Yeah?"


    "Come a little closer. That way we have more space on the bed." She said.


    "O-Okay..."


    Shifting their weights closer to each other, the twin''s faces were now closer than ever as the tip of their noses nearly touched.


    Red hues began to reform from their cheeks as the aroma of Erza''s shampoo invaded Ez''s nose,


    ''Nee-san...she smells like strawberries and vanilla...No! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Gaaah!''


    "Ez?"


    The younger twin stopped himself as Erza called out to him quietly, "Yes?"


    "I''m sorry for making you do this so suddenly...I know it''s been a long time since we''ve done this, and it might make you feel uncomfortable to do so but...I just got so worked up and I couldn''t-!"


    "Nee-san." Erza stopped as her brother then continued.


    "You don''t have to worry about it, I understand."


    "But-!"


    "But nothing. Yes, this does make me feel a bit uncomfortable, yet...at the same time I''m glad..." He confessed which surprised the elder twin.


    "Y-You are?"


    Ez smiled gently, "Of course! I mean, we are older now, but I''ve really missed sleeping next to you honestly."


    He blushed as he admitted and continued, "Even when we were in that tower, you''ve always made sure that I was comfortable right by your side despite sleeping on the cold hard ground. But I didn''t care about that, all I cared was about being in the warm embrace of my beloved Nee-san. And even if we were forced to work into slavery every starting morning, I would always try to back down my fears knowing you would be there right beside me when I open my eyes..."


    "Ezra..." A single tear slowly traced down her cheek to the pillow as the red-haired female twin couldn''t make out any words to respond back to her brother.


    Erza blushed as she felt his warm hand tightly grab on to hers as Ez gave his usual gentle kind smile.


    "So no more discomfort feelings. Tomorrow I have to meet Mira early for the job, but tonight I want to focus solely on Nee-san, okay?"


    Erza smiled beautifully and nodded as both she and Ezra leaned in closer together as their foreheads touched.


    "Good night, Nee-san. I love you..."


    "Mm, I love you as well, Ez. Good night."


    And like that, the Scarlet twins peacefully laid their eyes to rest as their hands never lost grasp of each other until morning.

 13 Just a Dream

    It was now morning....


    Erza was peacefully sleeping with a blissful expression on her face. She then turned around and wrapped an arm around her ''little brother''.


    She was dreaming about her and her twin brother, sitting around on the grass and their backs against a tree in their peaceful childhood days.


    They were in a forest somewhere near the village. It was early in the morning and there was a beautiful sparkling lake in front of them. The morning light of the sun was the perfect lighting to make the scene beautiful.


    And surrounded the lake, was a grassy land full of flowers as colorful butterflies were flying around the area, adding in to the peaceful atmosphere.


    The twins were currently sitting closely besides each other as they held each other''s hands. Ezra for some reason, reached out his hand and a random butterfly happen to conveniently land on his finger.


    "Woa..." Ezra said in wonder.


    "Am I a Disney Princess now?"


    Erza then looked at her twin with a deadpan face, "No your not, what are you gay?"


    Ez was slightly angry at his sister''s remark and he whined, "Huh? How does that make me gay?!"


    "I''m kidding! Oh, you look so cute when your angry." Erza sweetly said as she brought her brother''s face to her chest and ruffled his hair.


    "Ahmmm!" Ezra then began waving his arms around in a tantrum.


    Erza then finally released her brother, Ez looked at her with an annoyed face as he deepy inhaled and exhaled before turning his head around in a pout.


    "Hehehehe."


    Erza had a playful smile as she found her brother''s reactions cute. She then leaned her head on his shoulders as she slightly pushed him to the right.


    "Ohhh, I''m sorry Ez."


    Ezra continued to look away from his sister while pouting before suddenly thinking about something that was recently being talked about on the village.


    "Onee-chan." He called out.


    "Hm?" Erza looked at Ez and she noticed that her little brother was thinking about something so she replied.


    "What is it, Ez?"


    Ezra looked at his sister in a wondering gaze, "Onee-chan, have you heard about big brother Albert and big sister Yentl getting married?"


    Erza pondered for a while before saying, "Yeah....I heard that the wedding is going to start in five days from now. And, it will be held in the village."


    Ezra''s face transformed into that of excitement, "Really?! There will be food for the guests right?! We can go there! Right, Onee-chan?"


    Erza just smiled and she ruffled her adorable little brother''s hair and she pinched his cheeks, "Of course we can go! Albert-nii and Yentle-nee would be happy if we can attend! Hehehe, you can be the flower boy."


    Albert and Yentl were young adults that live in Rosemary Village. Albert works as a blacksmith while Yentl works as a seamstress.


    The two were known to be a lovey-dovey couple, and was about time for them to get married. They also treated the twins very well and would occasionally invite them for a dinner at their home.


    "Yes! I know there''s going to be pie! I just know it!" Ezra said in excitement.


    "Of course there are." Erza smiled.


    "But....Onee-Chan.."


    "Hm?" Erza responded with a head-tilt


    "What does being married mean?" Ez asked with a curious and innocent face.


    (Authors Note: You guys already know what''s gonna happen. That''s right I''m using this old trick! Its been too long since I''ve seen these. So I''m gonna make it and satisfy my fantasies, and of course, yours. *High Five*)


    "Ummm....."


    Erza began to recall all her knowledge regarding to marriage. She was taught by such knowledge by the headmistress of the orphanage.


    "Uh...Marriage is a thing you do to the people that you truly love. If you truly love someone and that someone truly loves you back, then you should marry her so you can be with her together forever."


    Erza said with a slight blush as she scratched her head. Ez then gave out an ''understanding'' nod, his curiousity was fully satisfied. But he then said something truly unexpected.


    "Then in that case. I wanna marry Onee-chan! I wanna be with Onee-chan together forever!" Ezra said with a warm smile as he then held his sister''s hands.


    "?!?!?!"


    Erza was taken aback of what her brother said and she blushed till her ears. For some reason she wanted to accept it, but another part of her was screaming that she should not as he is her biological brother.


    In the end, she decided to treat it as a childish act and brush it off. She knows that Ezra didn''t really understand ''Marriage'' and just decided to say that out of the blue.


    When he grows up, he would definitely think the same and he wouldn''t take his words right now seriously.


    Suddenly, the background of her dreamscape distorted and the reality before her has shattered and changed!


    She was now in a different place and she looked like she was now around twenty years old. Erza looked around her surroundings and saw that she was in a Chapel and their were people sitting on the chairs in formal clothing as they watched an ongoing ceremony.


    Natsu, Grey, Makarov, Cana, Lisanna and every single one of the Fairy Tail guild members were there. Some were crying with tears of joy and sweetness of the current event.


    *Sniff* *Sniff* "Its so beautiful...." Natsu and Grey cried with tears of joy for their friend.


    "I hope Natsu and I can have a better wedding..." Lisanna said while letting out a tear in her eye as she held Happy closely to her chest.


    "T-this i-is a real Man''s w-wedding...." Elfman said as he wiped off his tears.


    "They grow up so fast....I''m so happy for my children. Waaaahhhhh!" Makarov said before crying with a river of tears.


    Erza then looked at the center stage and she saw an adult Ezra and Mirajane. They were holding each others hands and there was a priest in the center behind them.


    Ezra was wearing a black tuxedo with a white bow tie in a pattern. While Mira was wearing a bridal gown. They were smiling at each other warmly as they waited for the priest''s final declaration.


    "What....." Erza froze of the sudden development of her dream.


    "You may now kiss the bride! May your love be Everlasting!" The priest exclaimed as he spread out his arms.


    "No...."


    Mira turned to Erza and she did a mocking and a victorious smile before she turned back to Ezra, who didn''t even spare a glance at his sister and just looked at Mira warmly.


    "No...."


    Both of the couple then leaned forward for a kiss. Erza saw all of this and she felt something pierce her heart. She somehow couldn''t accept this kind of development.


    Was it because she was too overprotective of him and doesn''t want her brother to leave her side, or was it something else...


    She then felt her heart stopped beating for a second before it began to beat rapidly. Her anger, jealously, sadness, and even hatred mixed together in a chaotic emotional storm.


    "NOOOOOOOO! STOP! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS FARCE! STOP THE WEDDING!!"


    She then saw the two of them finally put their lips together, their tongue entering and coiling in each other''s mouth as they sucked on each other''s saliva. It was a passionate kiss full of love and affection.....and lust.


    That''s when Erza turned crazy.


    "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Erza got up from her bed and she roared out loud. She was unconsciously releasing her Magical Aura and everything around her was crushed by the pressure.


    "Wha-What?!!" She realized that she finally woke up from her dream and she began to frantically turn her head around, searching for someone in the room.


    She turned her head to the side of her bed and saw that Ezra was now gone, and she was hugging a pillow all this time instead of her brother.


    ''That''s right he was going to go on a mission with that whore...All alone with her...''


    She then thought of yesterday, where Mira smiled in mockery to her because she managed to take Ez for herself in a whole week. And then on her dream...that very same smile where she managed to take Ezra for herself.


    It was too scary to be a coincidence.


    Rage, Sadness, and Jealousy filled her heart as she finally snapped.


    "YOU FUCKING BITCH! EVEN IN MY DREAMS, YOU DARE MOCK ME?! I SWEAR I''LL FUCKING KILL YOU AFTER YOU RETURN! YOU WHITE HEADED DEMONIC WHORE!!"

 14 Time in the Train

    Inside of a moving train...


    Ezra quietly looked out from his window as his view passed by a group of farmers working in a large field of fully-grown crops.


    Across him was Mira, who was boredly reading a magazine on her lap. She was currently flipping one page at a time with no interest, not even bothering to read any of the written articles.


    With a frustrated sigh, she tossed the magazine aside and groaned, "Ahhh...How long is this damn train ride?"


    Ezra answered for her, "We''ve been here for at least twenty minutes or so. So I believe we''re about thirty minutes away before we reach Hargeon Town."


    "Really?! Thirty minutes?! Fuck! This is going to be a real thrill ride." Mira said sarcastically as she crossed her arms under her chest.


    She then gave out an annoyed huff and slouched against her seat, Ezra just gave a small chuckle at Mira. Admittedly he was no fan himself for long train rides, but he wasn''t the one to complain.


    He and his sister would always have a nice conversation to pass the time more quickly whenever they''re going somewhere far. And that sorta gave him an idea.


    "Hey, how about we talk about something to occupy our time? It''ll probably move along faster."


    "Or...." Mira said before continuing.


    The redhead froze as Mira leaned towards him with a little sultry smile before suddenly pining him against the train wall.


    "I got a better idea....How about you and I have a little quickie inside one of the passengers restrooms. I promise to be very gentle with you..." She said in a seductive tone.


    There was no other passengers in the other seats because of this early in the morning. So they could do whatever they want. Even if they didn''t do it in the bathroom, they could still do it in the passenger seats without any problems.


    And just like that, Ezra''s face lit up like a Christmas tree as he began stuttering uncontrollably, "Wha-?! I-I-I-I-! D-don-don! Wha-w-!"


    "Pfft...!" Unable to hold it in any longer, Mira bursts out laughing while holding her stomach.


    (Authors Note: What? You expectin an H-scene? LUL, get cucked boi.)


    "Hahahahaha! Y-You should seen your face! It''s so red right now! Hahahahaha!"


    Realizing it was just a bluff, Ezra slowly simmered down a little and gave the white-haired demoness a small glare while his face was still a little red from the embarrassment.


    "T-That wasn''t funny! Seriously, my heart almost leapt out from my throat!" He exclaimed.


    However, Mira kept on laughing, "Hahahaha! O-Oh relax, will ya? A little teasing couldn''t hurt anyone..."


    Well, except Natsu and Gray perhaps...


    "Besides, I wouldn''t want that uptight sister of yours to be hollering up my ass if she found out we did something like that together."


    That was true. Ezra remembered his sister giving Mira a very threatening and violent warning yesterday in the afternoon.


    "But you know..." Mira started to speak again.


    "We could have that quickie now and after the train ride. How about it Ez, you interested? Erza doesn''t need to know anything at all~! You can keep a secret right?" She closed in again and purred in his ear seductively.


    Once again, Ezra''s face turned into a shade of bright red as Mira laughed at his reaction one last time.


    "Hahaha! Oh god, you''re so cute when you''re embarrassed like that! It makes me want to tease you even more!"


    Ezra turned away from the white-haired female and groaned, "Oh come on...You already did that, don''t you? Plus, I''m really considering a visit to a doctor to have my heart checked out. I swear it might implode at this rate!"


    Mira rolled her eyes and smirked, "Oh quite exaggerating. I mostly tease you just to get a rise out of your sister. I absolutely love the expressions she makes when I piss her off!"


    She then let out a quick laugh and Ezra composed himself again and faced Mira, "You know I never really figured it out, but why do you and my sister hate each other?"


    The white-haired woman casually shrugged, "We just do. Honestly it annoys the hell out of me how that tincan can be such an uptight stickler all the time. I for one, want to show that redheaded broad where her rightful place is, and that''s right beneath my boots!"


    She smirked widely, but quickly realized who she was talking too, "Oh, no offence, Ez."


    Ezra waved his hands in dismissal and chuckled nervously, "No offence...sorta. But you''re not technically wrong. Nee-san can be a bit bossy sometimes. Although, Mira, you kinda don''t have room to say any of that yourself."


    He then pointed out rather sternly, "Not only do you harass my sister, but you also bully everyone else at the guild. And that''s something most people can''t stand for, even myself."


    Normally when a normal person ever talks back against Mira, it wasn''t a happy end for them. But in Ezra''s case, he was not going to let anyone talk about his twin sister like that. Even if they were allies of the same guild.


    Surprising, Mira didn''t look angry. Rather she just huffed in annoyance. She then frowned and crossed her arms.


    "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I''m a bitch to everyone, you don''t need to say it to my face, Ez."


    "Actually that''s not completely true of how I see you, Mira-san" The red-haired male interrupted.


    "Eh?" Mira was caught off by surprise a little as she turned back to see Ezra''s warm smiling face.


    He spoke sincerely as he held her hands, "True you have your flaws, but behind all of that you are a real caring person, even if you don''t show it all the time. Plus, you''re strong, beautiful, and you even have a great amount of ambition to become strong. I even heard from Elfman you''re also an amazing cook. I kinda find all of those things to be very cool and admirable of you, Mira."


    Ezra threw in one of his most honest and heart-warming smiles. Mira, for the first time in her life, had her cheeks blush red as she shyly turned her head away from Ezra''s gaze.


    "G-Geez...Going all out and attacking a woman like that....you asshole..." She muttered.


    "What was that?"


    "Nothing! I-I just mean to say...thank you for what you said, Ez." Mira said with a bright smile on her lips.


    Ezra smiled back, "You''re welcome, Mira."

 15 Ism Not Entirely Like my Sister

    It''s been ten minutes since the last conversation happened, and the train was still going to Hargeon.


    Right now, the two were having a new kind of conversation....


    Quickly straightening herself out, the demoness spoke again, "Anyway, enough about me. I want to learn more stuff about you."


    "About me?" Ezra asked as he pointed to himself.


    "Yup! For starters, what''s the limits of your magic? I only learned you can create weapons, right?"


    ''Hehehe, if I''m right about some things. Then we can strike a fortune with some dirty business.''


    Ezra nodded, "Yes, you are correct. My magic is called Projection Magic. As you may already know, I am able to create any weapon I want just by thinking about it. I can even mentally command the weapon if I want it to fly around and all that stuff."


    "I see. So does that also mean you can also copy the weapon of another person?" Mira asked.


    Ezra nodded again, "Correct. Just by only looking at the weapon once, I can easily duplicate an exact replica of another person''s weapon in seconds. Even if that weapon has a unique ability or some kind of power, then my copied weapon can also have that power, but it would be weaker."


    ''That''s it! Hahaha, I knew it!'' Mira thought while coming up with an insurance plan.


    "So that basically means you can create forgeries?" She smirked as Ezra deflated a bit.


    "In a sense....yes." The redhead slumped his shoulders in slight shame and embarrassment.


    Mira laughed a little and grinned, "Oh don''t let it get you down, Ez. You can probably make a real good fortune if you sold the weapons you make!"


    "Huh?! I would never!" Ezra flinched.


    She then folded her fingers and her face turned to a business-like look, "No, Ezzy-kun. WE can make a fortune. Think about it. If we just do it right and find the right buyers, then we''ll strike it rich! It''ll be a piece of cake. You and me buddy, we''ll be filthy stinking rich in no time."


    "That doesn''t sound any better at all!" He comically snapped at her.


    Besides, his Nee-san would severely discipline him if she found out that he was selling forgeries! No, it may even be a lot worse than that.


    "Hahaha! Oh lighten up. I was only messing with you. Besides, you''re the very last person I know who would ever do those shitty con deals. Do that, and your sister would gut you alive."


    The red haired boy became tense after the statement. Though, he still believed that his sister would actually not really hurt him.


    Mira continued, "So does that also means you can create and copy armors as well? Like Erza?"


    Ez managed to catch the small displeasurable tone in her voice. Mira doesn''t happen to like armor for obvious reasons.


    However, much to her satisfaction, Ezra shook his head for a no, "That''s Nee-san''s Re-equip Magic, it doesn''t create armors, it only summons it from her pocket dimension. And, I can only create weapons not armors. Gauntlets, leggings, greaves, and shields however are a different story since they can be used as weapons and I''m able to use them to fight directly."


    Mira had a pleasured smile and Ezra continued, "Plus....I''m not a big fan of wearing armor myself."


    The demoness had a look of surprise on her face, "Really? I thought you and Erza were all twinzy and have the same preferences or whatever?"


    She then took looked at the red haired boy''s attire. Ezra was now wearing a dark red jacket with buttons that had Fairy Tail''s emblem, the buttons were sequenced in details on the breast pockets.


    He kept the jacket unzipped and it only had an elbow-length sleeve. Underneath the jacket, he wears a dark red shirt with triangular arrow prints. He also wears a dark red trousers and black buckled boots with red soles.


    Ezra wasn''t wearing his classic attire for some reason. And this made Mira let out a "Hmmmmmm" as she looked at him with a contemplating gaze.


    She always thought that because of that attire, that had some armor here and there, he was also an armor freak like his sister.


    (Author''s Note: Not wearing his ''Knight Emperor'' attire. Or just look at the cover image to get a good look of his iconic clothes.)


    The red-haired male chuckled, "Well you''re not completely wrong, Mira. We both like using weapons as part of our magic, but I just don''t like using armor all that much."


    "What about your classic attire? The one you always wear when you go on a mission with Erza. Those have some armors too you know. You always wear them and you say that you don''t like armors?" Mira asked.


    Ezra just sighed. He could still remember when his own sister tried to force him to always wear armor. They argued for a little bit, until she finally conceded to his wishes.


    Although Ezra found it really adorable when his sister was acting all huffy and pouty when he said he didn''t want to wear some armor all the time.


    Wait! Losing focus! Losing focus!


    "Well, at least I don''t wear armor constantly like Nee-san. I only wear it when we''re doing a mission." Ezra said.


    Mira raised an eye brow, "Then why aren''t you wearing it right now?"


    "I''ll just wear it when we really do the mission." Ezra said.


    It wasn''t really a problem because of his Re-equip Magic. Mira already understood this and she nodded her head.


    "Anyway, I''m just glad you''re not completely like your sister. It would have been frustrating if there were two armor freaks walking around the guild with poles stuck up their ass." Mira smirked.


    Ezra only shook his head at the crudeness of his current partner, "By the way Mira, I want to do a quick review of the job we''ll be handling. It involves an investigation on a series of kidnappings, right?"


    Mirajane nodded and crossed her arms, "Yeah. Just two months ago, right after the opening was posted up, there have been some strange disappearances going around Hargeon Town, and it''s usually happening around the night."


    Ezra placed his fingers under his chin in thought, "I see...Have there been any recent rumors you''ve heard in Hargeon?"


    The female mage shook her head, "Not that I''ve heard of any, no. We''re supposed to meet the town''s mayor right after we get off the train. He''ll be the one to give us some further details of the situation."


    "Well let''s just hope we can get enough information as much as we can. Otherwise more people will keep disappearing."


    Mira nodded along in agreement. Strange kidnapping''s happening around the night...


    If Ezra had to guess it could be simple as a group bandits picking off people wandering alone in the dark and using them as a ransom against a modest looking town.


    Although, Ezra always had a gut feeling that there was something much worse then some regular old bandits. The question is what...?


    "Hey, Ez."


    Breaking off his thoughts, Ezra turned his attention to teasing, yet mischievous looking Mirajane.


    She was now sitting besides him and was leaning her head on his shoulder.


    The girl then suddenly moved and pinned him down to his seat, she was now on top of him.


    She licked her lips as she placed a hand on his chest and then slowly moved it down to that special spot....


    "Since we''re going to be here for a while.....Wanna have that quickie now?"


    And just like that, all of the seriousness he had moments ago was immediately replaced by a stuttering and a red-faced young man with a white-haired woman laughing at him.

 16 Hargeon Town

    As the train finally made its arrival to the large port Town of Hargeon, the two Fairy Tail Mages took a step off the train.


    The white-haired Take-Over Mage stretched her body to the air, "Mmm.m, alright! Finally I get to stretch my legs after a long time of sitting!"


    Ezra nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and the town looks so vibrant and lively. You could just tell by how many people are coming and going. I wonder if they have any great shops or souvenirs around here?"


    He''s been meaning to give Lisanna something as a thank you gift after she gave him that wooden turtle statue.


    That, and also find a nice cake shop for his Nee-san. Hopefully they have pies too!


    "We can look for those later. Right now we''re supposed to meet the Mayor here. I wonder where that guy is?"


    Mira tapped her foot impatiently while scanning around the train station, looking for a middle-aged man with a fancy suit and a top hat.


    Ezra began searching as well. Though, it was a little hard with a bunch of people walking around, but that''s when he noticed something.


    "I''m guessing he''s the man over there?" He pointed towards a man coming to them through the crowd.


    "Excuse me! Excuse-! P-Pardon me! Mayor coming through! Yes, good to you as well, Madam! Oh! Watch where you are running children! Dear me! May I ask that you not touch my rear!"


    A short, portly old man around his fifties came running towards the two mages with sweat dripping down his forehead.


    "Yup, that''s our guy."


    Mira raised an eyebrow and putted her hands on her waist as the old man finally reached them.


    "I....I do apologize for not arriving here sooner! But there was some extra paperwork that had to be finished at the office!" The mayor breathed in exhaustion as he wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.


    "We understand Sir. Our Guild Master back home has the exact same problem as you do." Ezra said.


    Poor Master Makarov. So much paperwork, so much daily collateral damage and complaints....


    The old mayor gave a gulp and spoke properly, "Yes, well, I assume you two are the Fairy Tail wizards who accepted the request to help our town?"


    The redhead nodded, "Yes. My name is Ezra Scarlet. And this is Mirajane Strauss."


    The white-haired Mage then gave a simple nod and wave, "Nice to meet you."


    The portly old man had his eyes widened, "Oberon and the Demon? Well that''s splendid! I have heard such great things about you two!"


    Mira leaned over to Ezra and whispered, "He might also know about our ''not so great'' moments, but he doesn''t want to mention them."


    The red haired mail just nodded in agreement.


    To be fair, Fairy Tail was the very definition for strong and taking things way too far.


    The Mayor then turned to Ezra and asked, "Is the Titania, Erza Scarlet, also with you? I have heard you are always together, correct?"


    Mira scowled and crossed her arms, "Only her and Ezra are always seen together. Fortunately she isn''t here right now. I wouldn''t want to be caught dead with that trash wearing-Hmmph?!"


    Ezra then immediately placed his hand over Mira''s mouth to stop talking. The redheaded Mage chuckled awkward at the slightly nervous Mayor.


    "Ehehe...Please don''t mind her, sir. She and my sister aren''t exactly on friendly terms."


    He removed his hand away from her and Mira gave Ezra an annoyed glare. Ezra just gave a smile of apology as the demoness huffed and turned away from him.


    Guess that means she forgives him....probably...


    The mayor looked between the two and spoke, "I-I see. Ahem! Anyway, I''ve never introduced myself. My name is Barney Marl VI! Welcome to the port town of Hargeon! And I do again apologize for my lateness. Now please follow me to the carriage, we have much to discuss of what happened!"


    The two nodded and followed Barney out to front gates and into a horseback carriage.


    .....


    The two Fairy Tail mages were currently found inside of a moving carriage with the town''s mayor.


    He wiped some sweat off from the side of his head with a handkerchief and began to talk, "T-Thank you again for accepting our request for help. It situation has been awfully because what''s happened for the last few days."


    Ezra nodded, "Think nothing of it Mr. Mayor. Now, we understand that there have been a series of kidnapping''s going around right?"


    "Y-Yes. Two months ago there has been a number of townsfolk disappearing in the middle of the night. I have already issued a very strict curfew for everyone who lives here, but more and more people have been vanishing like thin air! Just two nights ago a barkeeper reported to our local officers that his own daughter went missing! And I fear the worse for those victims...." The old man dropped his head solemnly.


    "Has there been any recent break-in''s as well?" Mira asked.


    "Indeed, yes. But luckily there weren''t any sort of trouble, well except a few minor mis-haps."


    "What do you mean?" Ezra inquired.


    The Mayor explained, "Oh yes, one of our residents, Kennedy Hoover, managed to defend himself when he too was almost a victim of being kidnaped."


    "Did he use magic to defend himself?"


    Barney nodded to Ezra''s question, "Yes, he did. However he was badly injured from the attack and unfortunately he didn''t even see who the culprit was. If you want to ask him anything about that night, he works as a sailor around here."


    Ezra nodded his head, "That would helpful. But can I ask if we could take look into the people who are missing? Along with some personal information and the recent evidence that was collected? It might be help me and Mira in our investigation if we''re gonna go anywhere."


    Barney nodded, "Yes, of course. I''ll have someone deliver what we know to the inn you are staying at. Unfortunately to be honest, we haven''t collected much, but I do hope they can of use to you both."


    Ezra smiled gratefully and bowed lightly, "We will take what we can get. Thank you, Mayor."


    The portly old man shook his head, "N-No! If anything I should be thanking you! It has been awfully stressful these past few days and I''m just so grateful for Fairy Tail to respond to our distress."


    Mira crossed one leg up to her thigh and gave a confident smirk, "Think nothing of it, gramps. Fairy Tail will always get the job done no matter how tough the assholes are."


    In turn Ezra elbowed her arm and gave her a stern look. Mira just rolled her eyes about his reproach.


    She wasn''t wrong, and Ezra knew that.


    However the mayor didn''t seem to take any offence to Mira''s crudeness. "Y-Yes, and I have full confidence in your search."


    The carriage stopped moving as the old mayor knew exactly why, "Oh It seems we have arrived to the inn. Your rooms should be available once you visit the front desk. And as promised I will have someone deliver the evidence in just a few short hours."


    Ezra and Mira smiled in gratitude, "Thank you again, Sir Mayor."


    Both Mages exited out from the ride and stood in front of their temporary lodgings. The carriage then began departing as Barney waved them an arm of farewell.


    Mira took a quick sigh and a stretch, "Alright, Ez. Since we''re here what do you suggest we do first?"


    The redhead turned to his white-haired friend and answered, "Lets unpack for now. Then I suggest we can visit the harbor to ask that sailor on what he knows during his attack."


    Mira nodded, "It''s a start, but I''m not complaining. Let''s hurry and get started!"


    She smirked as she walked inside the inn with Ezra following. But then he thought of something in the guild.


    "Speaking of which, that reminds me....I wonder what Nee-san is doing back home?"


    Mira frowned and she turned to Ez, "Really? Your thinking of her right now while your being here with me?"


    "Eh? I was just wondering! In the morning, I left the house without telling Nee-san that I''ll be going out. I''m just wondering what she''ll do in the guild if I''m not with her."

 17 Meanwhile in Fairy Tail

    After Ezra departed with Mira without him telling his sister that he was going out. Erza was now spending her time drinking in the guild; lamenting her plight.


    *BAM!*


    A red haired girl smashed her cup on the wooden table. The bar maid was startled at the loud sound and she turned to the red head.


    "Gimme another one dammit!" *Hiccup!*


    It was to say that the elder twin was not doing okay back home. A drunk red faced Erza Scarlet was currently found slumping her head against the countertop of the guilds bar with a beer mug gripped on her left hand.


    It has been exactly two hours ever since her innocent younger twin brother left with the bitchy harlot known as Mirajane Strauss.


    And so far after their departure, Erza immediately went to the guild and began drinking herself none stop which would nearly beat Cana''s own drinking record.


    She was drinking her pain away.....


    The barmaid across from her only sweated nervously with a matching smile to add to the boot. She then said to the female red head.


    "U-Umm...Erza-san, I think you''ve had enoug-!"


    *Bam!*


    The poor girl jumped in fright as red heads gauntlet hands slammed against counter creating some small cracks, "Eeek!"


    "Haaaa?! When I said I want another one, I want another one damn it! Don''t make me come over there and....And Ahhh! Just get me another fucking drink!" Demanded the drunk female twin.


    The frightened girl only nodded her head furiously, "Y-Yes! Right away, Craz-! I mean, Erza-san!"


    With that, the poor bar maid left....


    Erza once again planted her head on the table with a loud thud. She then began muttering to herself with drunk and teary eyes.


    "Stupid, Ezra....Leaving your own Nee-san behind to be with that white-haired tramp! I''m the one who raised you when we were kids, not her! How could you accept her request to be alone with her? What does she have that I don''t? I''m ten times better than that demon slut! Ezra~! You stupid brother~!" She comically wailed for her twin brother.


    Over at another table, a bunch of certain young Mages, plus one pink-haired male and his blue cat who were busy eating, could only stare awkwardly at the drunk S-Class Mage.


    "Man, I''ve never seen Erza act like this when Ez isn''t with her. Kinda weird to be honest." Gray commented.


    "Should we do something about it?" Fairy Tail''s resident bookworm Levy McGarden asked.


    A brown haired woman with a bikini top answered, "I don''t think that would be a good idea, Levy. The way Erza is right now is not someone you should approach so casually."


    Many were weirded out of the Titania''s condition, but they also treated her as a beast that would go out and rampage if it was wrongly approached.


    "You''re one to talk, Cana." Gray said.


    Cana gave Gray a small dry glare, "Watch it, Popsicle Head. Or else I''m throwing you in the lion''s den. And put some clothes on!"


    Gray looked down at himself and found that his clothes were missing again, "Oh c''mon!"


    He then ran around the guild searching for them.


    "Maybe one of us should fight her! I bet that''ll cheer her up!" Natsu audibly said with food stuffed inside his mouth.


    "Aye! Erza will feel much better if she kicks your butt!" Happy said while having a fish on his mouth.


    "Ye-what?! No she wouldn''t! And whose side are you on?!" The Dragon Slayer snapped at his cat.


    "Yours."


    "Then why''d you say she would kick my butt?!"


    "Because I''m telling the truth."


    "Come-ere you!"


    "Lisanna~! Natsu''s being a meanie~!" Happy flew to Lisanna''s arms as the youngest Strauss sibling giggled.


    "Natsu, I don''t think fighting Erza in her current state is a good idea. If anything, that will only worsen her mood. And Elfman-nii-chan, don''t you dare support the thought or even say ''it''s manly''." Lisanna sternly pointed at her brother who sat back down with a disappointed look.


    The white-haired girl continued, "I suggest that we let her be for now until Mira-nee and Ezra come back. Besides, she''s not doing any real harm asides from her angry shouting and threats."


    That, and Lisanna didn''t want to mention the three other guild members Erza punched by accident.


    Poor fools haven''t woken up since then...


    Back with Erza again.


    She chugged down another pint of her ale and rested her head on the counter and hiccupped.


    Usually a nice strawberry cake would have helped calm her frustration or anger. Even her own brother''s homemade cooking would have helped.


    But seeing as her own twin is out on a job with her most hated rival, she needed something stronger than her usually sweets.


    And by the gods this was going to giving her a bad headache afterwards...


    "Erza."


    The female twin raised her head to find her Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, who was giving her a stern look.


    "Oh, it''s just you Master. I apologize, but I wish to be alone right now." The redhead spoke glumly with a slight annoyed tone.


    The tiny old man gave a small sigh, "Erza, drinking this much won''t help you at all. That''s Cana''s thing really."


    The said brunette then stuck her tongue out childishly at the Master who overheard him.


    "Besides, don''t you trust Ezra at all? He''s a wholesome young man who can be responsible without his own sister breathing down his neck all the time. Plus, I even doubt Mira would go as far to do something that would incur your wrath involving your brother. Teasing him a bit, yes. But nothing out of hand." The old man assured.


    Erza took a few moments to process what the tiny old man had said and theb she spoke back.


    "I guess...I guess you''re right, Master."


    She then chugged down the cup of beer in her hands before she continued on.


    "Its just.....I have always been overprotective of Ezra ever since we''ve been growing up together. And I have always disliked Mira for the way she acts which to no end irks me. Seeing that the person I love most is with the person I hate the most, really made me feel weird and it clouded my judgement."


    "That''s what being overprotective gets ya. Ezra has been always honest with you, hasn''t he?" The old man leaned on the table.


    Erza nodded for an answer. Her twin never once lied to her, it was always honesty between them.


    Even if he did tell a lie, Erza would know immediately and force him to tell the truth.


    Although Makarov had said that it was because of her overprotectiveness, Erza couldn''t help but feel a foreign aching in her chest when she saw her brother and Mira together...


    Specially because of the dream she just had. It was like a revelation into the future.


    She then gave herself a mental sigh. She was to drunk to even think. Besides, Ezra already gave his word that he and Mirajane wouldn''t do anything indecent while working together.


    ''Ugh! Fine, I''ll just let this one slide off for now and-...''


    "Although, now that I think about it, I wouldn''t be surprised if those two did it right then and now." The tiny old man Master said while interrupting her thoughts.


    ''Wait, what?''


    "I mean, they''re both still young and I can''t really blame them if their urges start building up. Ezra''s strong but his personality, he''s basically easy prey for women like Mira to get her hands on."


    ''What?!''


    "All alone together in the middle of the night in one bedroom and going at it under the sheets like damn reckless kids."


    ''WHAT?!''


    "To be young again....Ehehe, apologies for being a perverted old man, Erza. I was only joking-!"


    *Crack!*


    "Ah..."


    The Guild Master slowly turned his head to find that the redhead had crushed her mug into pieces with her bare hand as a feeling of dread overwhelmed her entire being.


    "O-Oi...Erza?"


    The older twin didn''t respond. Her hair shadowed her eyes, a large flare of magic surrounded her body as her anger slowly grew.


    "That fucking bitch...How dare she...How dare she...?!"


    Fairy Tail itself shook, almost everyone inside froze themselves in fear, as they knew what was coming.


    Their Master just had to make a terrible joke like that in front of her!


    "Wait! Wait! Wait! Erza, I was only joking when I said-!"


    The tiny old man didn''t get to finish as the female twin gripped his head and threw him across the guildhall!


    "I''LL FUCKING ERASE HER EXISTENCE!"


    And just like that, the famed Titania flew into mindless rage.


    "Aaaahhhhhh!"


    The red demon then proceeded to destroy everything that catches her sight and began throwing away some chairs and tables.


    "Master! What the heck, Er-ooof!" A random guild member''s face met a chair that Erza threw at him.


    "You think you could just take my brothers innocence when I''m not around?! I''ll show you the tip of my sword when it''s down your slutty throat and out your ass, you demonic whore!"


    Erza ripped and tore every piece of object in her sights as well as mangling any screaming guild member that was within her arms reach!


    *Smash!*


    *Bam!*


    *Break!*


    "Ugh! Master just had to tell her a really bad joke while she''s still drunk. This will take forever to clean up." Lisanna said as she hid under a table with Cana, Levy, and Happy, who was still in her arms.


    Her brother, Elfman, had been already knocked out when the angry drunk redhead threw a wooden barrel at him.


    Meanwhile Erza just continued on with her mindless rampage.


    "Not to mention we''ll be receiving another letter about noise complaints and property damage." Levy commented her own piece as the other three nodded.


    They were then reminded with something and Lisanna spoke, "Hey, where are Gray and Natsu?"


    *Crash!*


    The body of the said Ice Mage was smashed against another table, rendering him unconscious.


    "There''s Gray." Cana said.


    *Bam!*


    "Bwahaaaa!"


    "And there goes Natsu." Happy said as he watched his partner being sent to the ceiling and outside to the air.


    This was going to take a while...


    "Raaaahhhh!" The drunk twin roared as she then brought out her weapons and charged madly at a grouped up guild members.


    "Run for your lives!"


    "Its every man for himself!"


    "Why couldn''t Ez take Erza as well!"


    "That would have made things worse with her and Mira together!"


    "Better them than us!"


    *Boom!*


    This was REALLY going to take a while..

 18 Meeting in the Restauran

    *Hatchoo!*


    "Ugh..."


    Ezra suddenly sneezed for some reason. Probably because of ''that'' legendary reason.


    "Someone must be talking about me. I feel like its Nee-san." He muttered to himself.


    "Why do I have this strange feeling that Nee-san misunderstood something?" Ezra tilted his head in wonder.


    Standing beside him, Mira gave her companion a weird look, "What?"


    He shook his head, "Never mind. Anyway, you think this is the right restaurant where Kennedy Hoover always eats?"


    He asked as he looked down at a small piece of paper that the innkeeper gave him. It had information of the occupation of the said man and the places he''s tend to go.


    The two Fairy Tail mages stood outside of a fairly large and wide building that seemed to be a restaurant, as the scent of food could be smelled in the air.


    Mira shrugged, "Should be. Let''s just follow the information they gave us. If anything, I would guess he''d be here. Its lunch time already."


    "Okay, let''s go in and look for him."


    Nodding in agreement, the two entered through the front doors to find what would usually be in a restaurant.


    Almost all of the seats and tables were now filled with people. It was lunch time, so of course there would be alot of people.


    The smell of the foods they served here seemed to be good by just judging on their scents. Though, sea food was the majority of the cuisuine that they would serve.


    Mira looked around and she rubbed her slightly rumbling stomach, "Damn! Everything here smells good! We have to take a meal here."


    "Well, I guess we can if we don''t find our man. We can take a break and eat here for lunch." Ezra said.


    With that statement, Mira then placed her hands on her pockets and she sweatdropped.


    "Oh crap...."


    She forgot to bring any money.


    She then looked at the man who has a Re-equip Magic before suddenly clinging to his arm.


    "M-Mira?! What are you doing?" The red head said as he was flustered at her actions.


    "Ezzy~! We''re friends right~! And friends should help each other out~! So can you treat me for today~! I forgot to bring any money at all~!" Mira smiled as said in a cutesy/begging tone.


    Ezra just scratched his head helplessly, "Sure, why not."


    "That''s why I love you Ezzy-kun~!" The white haired girl sweetly said as she clinged even closer to him.


    It was like she was his girlfriend.


    "Excuse me! You two!"


    The Mages then turned their attentions to a tall, lanky man around his thirties wearing some sailor clothes, slicked back brown hair, circular framed glasses, and a sling wrapped around his right arm.


    "Are you two perhaps the Fairy Tail mages that the Mayor has informed me about?"


    Ezra answered, "Yes, we are. I''m Ezra, and this is Mirajane. Are you Kennedy Hoover?"


    The brown-haired man nodded, "Yes, I am. The Mayor sent me a message that you''d be looking for me here. I take it you both want to ask some questions about what happened to me a few nights ago?"


    They both nodded back, "If that''s alright with you, Hoover-san."


    The middle-aged man smiled, "Not at all. And please, call me Kennedy. Now lets find ourselves a table here, I will try to tell you everything I know to the best of my abilities."


    .....


    Later, the trio managed to find a table for themselves. A then waiter approached them and asked for their orders.


    The trio told them of their food orders and the waiter left as soon as they were done.


    Ezra and Mira were sittting right next to each other and Kennedy was right across them on the other side of the table.


    Mira then spoke as she slightly leaned on the table, "So, what can you tell us from the night of your attack?"


    Kennedy nodded seriously and began talking, "Yes. After I was done on helping on the preparations in our ship, my Captain told me that we were going to sail after three days. So I left to head home to spend my free days there. And on my way there, I couldn''t help but feel someone was following me."


    "Did you notice anyone?" Ezra asked.


    "No, I didn''t. I was too scared out of my wits, I became paranoid! I didn''t even try to look back. Thankfully I was able to return home safely, or so I believed."


    "And that''s when the kidnappers broke into your home. The Mayor said you used magic to defend yourself, right? What kind of magic did you use?" Ezra inquired.


    "I use type of Plant Magic."


    He answered Ezra''s question as a small green magic circle appeared on his hand, and on it grew out a small vine.


    "And also, before that day happened. Me and some of my mates managed to find some kind of remains of a large sea creature by chance. I think it was somewhere in the shores of Kiluca Island a few weeks ago."


    "That''s sounds really cool. What kind of monster was it?" Ez asked. He was seemed to be completely interested in the man''s discovery.


    "Oh! Well, my friends and I discovered the bones of an unknown sea creature. And let me tell you, what we found was huge!"


    "Really?! How big was it!"


    "It was larger than our ship! I think it has long neck, the thing also had like a large mouth that had some scary rows of large sharp teeths. We also found some other stuff besides the creatures bones."


    "Cool! What else have you guys found? Like magical items or even old weapons!"


    Mira just groaned at hearing the red head mentioning ''weapons''. She knew that Ezra has some kind of weapon fetish.


    Ezra wasn''t going to deny it, but he was sorta a geek when it comes to weapons.


    He didn''t have a total obsession, just a frequent fascination. He also loved making weapons the old fashion way, blacksmithing.


    He even handcrafted some of his sister''s swords for her!


    "Now that you mentioned it, we did! They were like magical items that was used in ancient tim-..!"


    "Ahem!"


    The two males stopped their conversation as the sole white-haired woman gave them an impatient look.


    "Are you two just going to talk about some dusty old bones all day or are we going to hear what the man saw?"


    "R-Right, I apologize. I got almost got carried way."


    Ezra scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Sorry, my fault."


    The demoness rolled her eyes, she then crossed her arms under her big chest, and huffed.


    "Whatever. Did you even manage to see who was after you? Even at the slightest?"


    The sailor spoke seriously again, "No, unfortunately. They put a sack over my head, so I couldn''t see anything at all. And they began beating me as I struggled. I feared for my life, so I just used my magic in panic. There''s was a bit of conflict going on, but I managed to defend myself until the authorities came over because of all the commotion."


    He then sighed, "Unfortunately, they escaped. Most of my house was ruined, and they managed to break my arm."


    "And that was it? There wasn''t anything else?" Ezra said in disappointment and the two Mages were prepared to leave.


    But it was understandable if Kennedy had nothing else to say. Like he said, he couldn''t see anything at all.


    "Actually, there is one more thing."


    Both mages straightened themselves up as the brown-haired man pulled something out from his pockets.


    "This is a piece of fabric that I managed to tear off from one of the attackers during my struggle. I found it right after they escaped. There''s even this strange symbol sewn on to it."


    Looking closer, the cloth had a patterned symbol, but it was incomplete.


    The two then questioned, "Do you know what this symbol means?"


    "No, I don''t. But if I had to guess, It must be the emblem of some kind of cult or something."


    Mira then widened her eyes in shock. Ezra was the one who was mostly affected of the sudden development.


    "A Cult?"

 19 Night Time Disruption

    "A Cult?" Ezra said while frowning.


    He did not like cults for obvious reasons, specially the evil ones. If he ever spheard that there was some kind of cult in Magnolia, then he would be the first one to take action.


    "Maybe its cult or maybe its just some Dark Guild, it may even be just some group of bandits that have an emblem on their group or something. Who knows, but I''m more on the cult side." The middle-aged man said.


    "I see, so that explains the kidnapping''s....A cult kidnapping people, huh." Ezra muttered to himself.


    He then said, "But Kennedy-san, why didn''t you take this piece of evidence to the police after the attack? Surely it would have been useful to them."


    "Yes, that is true. But the thing was....I didn''t want to." He admitted which surprised the two.


    Mira looked at the man suspiciously, "And why not?"


    The older man gulped nervously and shivered that the look Mira was giving. Those eyes meant she''ll break his other arm if he doesn''t say anything.


    "B-Because....Because I don''t trust them, more specially the one in charge. The Chief, Alexander Commell."


    "Alexander Commell? Who''s that and what''s so bad about the guy?" Mira said.


    Kennedy frowned, "Commell transferred from another town far off the north from here. He became the new head of police two years ago after the previous one retired. I know I''m not supposed to say stuff like this, but that man just sets me off the wrong way. Just two days ago he charged this poor lady a large sum money just because her nephew got into some accident with the other police. Not only that, he even beated a man near death just because he tried to steal something."


    "A corrupt officer perhaps?" Ezra frowned with narrowed eyes.


    He absolutely hates those who would abuse their power for the wrong reasons. All the more reason why he should talk to this police officer if he can.


    "Possibly. Unfortunately, most of the townsfolk are afraid to report him because they think that bastard will end up hurting them. Barney is aware of this himself and tried talking with Commell before about his behaviour. It didn''t go so well because the prick made some ridiculous argument of ''wanting to straighten out the order for the towns safety'' and that was it."


    "That old man really has no backbone huh. He''s suppose to be a mayor, but he gives off the vibe of a passive person." Mira said while frowning.


    "I see. Thank you on the input. We''ll be careful if Mira and I ever encounter this person. Also, Kennedy-san, may we also take that cloth off your hands? It might be of use in helping during our investigation." Ezra asked.


    "By all means, take it."


    The sailor then gave him the cloth, "Just as long you don''t give it to the police cause I really think they might take that. I''m fairly certain Commell brainwashed half of the other officers. Right now I can only trust you two from Fairy Tail into solving this case. I wish the best of luck to the both of you."


    Both Mages nodded and stood up from their seats, "Thank you for your time, Kennedy-san."


    .....


    .....


    It was in the middle of the night.


    As promised by the mayor, he had someone deliver the stuff Ezra needed to his room. Right now he was sitting on the edge of his bed reviewing the papers on the people who''ve gone missing.


    Kennedy mentioned a cult was probably behind all of this, but so far only four people have been kidnaped for the last two months.


    Ezra had some experience in dealing with cults, but it''s usually common knowledge for a cultist to use either one or more forms of a sacrifice for summoning a being they worship. It was a similar case like with....


    With the Tower of Heaven...


    Ezra tightened his grip on the papers as old, painful memories began to resurface. All those anguishing cries...the beatings...so many innocent people who...!


    No! He shouldn''t bring up the past right now! He can''t think like this! Not now! All of that was behind him and his Nee-san! All of that...!


    "It is something I can''t forget about...Now matter how hard I try, I can''t force myself to forget all of you....Especially you, Juliet..."


    "You say something?"


    Ezra jumped a little from his spot and found Mira coming into the room with a tray of food in her hands.


    "N-No! Sorry, I was just talking to myself. Hehe..." He scratched his head awkwardly.


    The demon gave the redhead a small look for a little while before turning into a grin, "Well don''t do it to often. I do not want to be anywhere crazy aside what we''re doing now."


    She sat on another bed beside him while putting the meal aside on the nightstand, "So anything new?"


    Ezra shook his head, "None so far. I''ve gone over these papers three times already and there''s isn''t anything else that''s specific enough to why these people have been abducted. There''s no pattern or anything."


    "Let''s review what we know from today. Maybe that will help." Mira suggested


    The redhead nodded, "You''re right, I''ll start first. So far what we know that only four people have been abducted for the past two months. Several of which who have started to go missing during the night. Although the Mayor said he put the townsfolk on a strict curfew, there still has been an act of break-in and attempted kidnaping with the people."


    Mira spoke, "The old man also said he had several officers staying late at night on every street in town. There''s also a slight possibility that the Commell guy could be a suspect based on the way Kennedy talked about him. Or at least he should be am accomplice by helping the kidnappers in some way."


    "That is true. Kennedy-san did say he was the new Police Chief around town, but he does go around abusing his authority. However, we haven''t met the man yet, so we don''t know if he''s working with the kidnapers or not."


    "I just hope we don''t. The guy sounds like a real creep if you ask me." Mira shuddered before she continued.


    "But there''s one thing I don''t get. Only four people have gone missing for the past two months, and not anymore except two nights ago. I don''t support the thought, but if I were a kidnaper for some weird, demon summoning cult, I would have gathered more than that."


    Ezra nodded at that statement. He was thinking the kidnapers were being precautions of what they were doing and tried to leave very little evidence for anyone to find them. Or maybe they''re going after a specific group of people?


    Looking back from today, he and Mira had visited the residences and stores of other people who either had a friend or family taken from them. So far it had been the same responses of people not returning during the night.


    There was even one case where a man said he and a groups of friends were walking back from the bar when all of the sudden they were ambushed by some men in dark cloaks.


    They were unconscious at the time, but when they came to only one of their friends was taken. So it must be a specific type of person that was being taken. But why?


    "Ez?" Ezra snapped out of his thoughts as Mira was called out his name, "O-Oh, sorry, Mira. Guess I was to deep in thinking about the investigation."


    "Well don''t think to hard. Wouldn''t want my partner to have his brain fried. Here, have something to eat first before it gets cold. Mushroom soup." Mira smiled as she passed the bowl to her partner.


    "Thank you, Mira." He smiled in thanks.


    Ezra took the spoon and put it in his mouth and savoured the flavour. It tasted good! Taking another scoop, Ezra ate in peace before Mira suddenly spoke again.


    "By the way, Ez, wanna join me in the shower later?"


    "Pffft!"


    Ezra comically spit out the soup in his mouth and as the demoness began laughing at him!


    "Ahahaha! Y-You should''ve seen your face! It was hilarious!" The demoness laughed as Ezra''s face turned into the same color as his hair.


    "M-Mira!"


    The white-haired woman stopped laughing while weeping a tear from her eye, "Oh relax, I was just joking. Unless you really want to join me for a shower? I''m ok with it, really...If its you...."


    Mira said the last part in a barely audible voice as her cheeks became slightly red while Ezra just tilted his head at those inaudible last words.


    She then grinned seductively as she playfully grabbed his hands, "Think about it, a beautiful girl like me asking a guy like you to join me in the bathroom alone together~. Other guys would kill for this, you know?"


    Ezra''s face turned redder in embarrassment and turned away which amused her. She was about to continue her teasing by telling him to at least sleep with her, but then.....


    "KYAAAHHH!"
