Chapter 18: The Boss of the Organization


It was late night and Natsu and Happy with the Sabertooth except Yukino were now in Natsu's house, sleeping. Well they are except Natsu who can't sleep. The conversation they had about this organization trying to control the will of the person... for some reason deep within his mind, the memories at that time is trying to resurface.

Natsu was trembling in fear, not knowing what to do.

'I... I don't want to remember.' Natsu thought as he clenched his head with his both hand. His breathing was getting faster, 'I don't want to remember...!'

He could see an image, where he was struggling as his hands, feet, neck and belly part were tied up in a certain bed. Unknown people were crowding as if he's a new specimen of some sort. His strength is losing, his voice kept yelling in pain, his heart beat is bumping really strong.

"Begin the operation!"

Natsu can no longer help but shout it, "NO!"

"Natsu-san!" Both men in union called that made Natsu return back to reality. In front of him were both Rogue and Sting, really worried and hands on his shoulder. Happy was on his side, also showing his worried eyes as both hands were holding his side. Lector and Frosh were staring at him too, worried.

It seems that they woke up from the uneven noise Natsu was making which surprised them to see him on that state. They immediately went to him and shake him to wake up from whatever he was thinking.

Natsu was breathing hard and fast. Rogue stood up, "I'll get water." Sting nodded as he went away.

Sting returned his gaze to him, "Natsu-san are you alright?"

"N-Natsu..." Happy felt helpless in this moment, not knowing what to do for his best friend.

Natsu was still trying to catch his breath when Rogue came back with a glass of water. He drinks it as the other waited for him. Ones done, he put down the glass and gave it to Rogue.

"Tha-thank you Rogue." Rogue nodded as he took the glass from him and put it on the side. Sting asked again, "Natsu-san did something happened? Nightmare?"

Natsu was looking down but shook his head. He took a few silenced before speaking again, "Sting... Rogue... Can I... be honest to you two?"

Both Dragon Slayers turned to each other before it turned back to him.

"Sure Natsu-san, tell us what you want to tell us." Rogue said, giving an assurance they will be there for him.

Natsu gulp before speaking, "I... I don't want to remember everything." That seems to surprise them. He continued, "No... more like I'm afraid to remember them. I... I want to remember who I am, my friends in Fairy Tail, you, everything!" His eyes began to tremble in fear, "B-but... something is blocking my mind. Something tells me I shouldn't remember everything and stay oblivious. I... I don't know anymore!"

"Natsu-san" Sting said in low tone. Natsu spoke, "Yua-san told me, I should face my fear and trust my comrades... I know... but... I'm too scared. J-just what happened to me? What made me like this? I want to know at the same time I want to be blind from the truth. I'm too confused."

Natsu began to tremble, clearly scared. The two decide to give him comfort.

"Natsu-san" Sting called, making Natsu slowly turned to him. He spoke, "You are not alone Natsu-san, we're here for you."

"Sting is right Natsu-san" Natsu turned to Rogue who spoke. He patted his head, "Everything will be alright. No matter what kind of bad memories they are, how painful they are, always remember that you are not alone to suffer."

Happy gave an assuring smile as he spoke, "When you laugh, everyone laugh. When you cry, everyone cry. When you suffer, everyone suffer. That's how the family is Natsu. We will always be with you no matter what."

Natsu was touch to everyone's words, "Tha-thank you everyone."

They all smiled for him, glad that they able to comfort him. They all decide to keep Natsu company until he fall to sleep. They soon followed.

Afternoon when they all went to Fairy Tail. Mira was the one who greeted them first.

"Welcome and Good Afternoon Natsu, Happy, Sting, Lector, Rogue, Frosh. Do you want to eat something?"

Sting waved his hands to her, "N-no need Mira-san, we already ate back to Natsu-san's house."

"Oh" Mira said before smiling to them, "I see. Sting Master wants to meet you again. Just go to his office, he's waiting."

Sting nodded, "Sure. Come with me Lector. Rogue, Frosh I'll be heading out for a while."

"Sure" Lector respond as he followed Sting while Rogue nod as a response.

Rogue turned to Natsu and Happy. He smiled, "Do you want to do something Natsu-san?"

Natsu shook his head, saying nothing. Mirajane spoke, "Ah I forgot to mention but Yukino is in the library with Lucy and Levy."

Natsu blink, "There's a library here?" Mirajane nodded as a response. Natsu asked, "Can I go there?"

"Of course!" Mirajane said with a big smile. "Follow me Natsu"

Mirajane lead the way which they all followed.

Arriving the Library, they saw the three girls seems having fun on some books. Lucy was the one who greeted them first, "Hey guys, what's brings you here?"

"Natsu wants to come here." Happy was the one who answered. Natsu just nodded as he looked around the place, seems to be the first time he had come to check it out. Levy giggle for a bit before turning to Mirajane, "Did Gajeel left?"

Mirajane nodded, "He did a while ago. Oh, too bad you miss him Rogue."

"It's fine Mirajane-san." Rogue said. He turned to Natsu and asked, "Do you want to read some books Natsu-san?"

Natsu gave a thought before answering, "If there's a book interesting then why not."

Lucy, Levy and Mirajane are mentally shock but didn't show it to him. The three were thinking one thing, Natsu doesn't have a word 'reading' to his vocabulary but what happen now!?

Later on, the three girls were still chatting about something while Rogue was looking around the books on the shelves. Happy was out, something about giving fish to Carla which Natsu only wish good luck. Mirajane went out to give some juice for them. Natsu on the other hand was now reading a book far from the girls. Frosh was beside her, reading a color picture story.

Rogue gave a sigh before turning to Natsu and Frosh who seems to be busy reading. He smiled, 'Looks like he found something that took his interest.' He thought before looking around ones again.

Mirajane soon arrived and gave everyone a juice which they took and said thanks to her. Heading to Natsu, she gave her an orange juice.

Natsu smiled to her, "Thank you Mira." She smiled to him, "No problem Natsu."

"Nothing catches my interest." Rogue groan as he returned back and sat on the opposite side of Natsu. Mirajane smiled and gave the last juice to Rogue. He smiled and nod, "Thank you Mirajane-san."

Mirajane smiled and nod. She turned to Natsu, "What are you reading Natsu?"

Natsu blinked on the question before showing them the book cover. The title was 'The Lost Magic'.

"Oh, you are reading about Lost Magics. Did you find it interesting?" Mirajane asked. Natsu nodded, "I also found what I'm looking for."

This took Rogue's attention, "Are you searching something Natsu-san?"

Natsu smiled and shook his head, "Not really important... just that I'm curious on what kind of magic Yua-san was using. I never really saw what magic Yua-san uses but I got the description from both Gajeel and Lily so now I'm trying to find the same description here. I don't think it was one of the ancient magic so I tried the lost magic and found it."

"Really, so what is it?" Mirajane asked, curious about what kind of magic this Yua was using that made her able to kill without any evidences at all.

Natsu looked down on the book and pointed it which both Rogue and Mirajane followed the pointed finger. They were actually surprise to see what it was.

Somewhere inside the castle, Yua was already disguised as one of the soldiers and a top ranking one. She actually sneaked in and searched a high ranking one and gave a small torturing so she could make him speak about his name, work and more valuable information about the guy. She used her magic to create some illusion around her to copy the guy's appearance.

'Now I left him somewhere where no one would ever think he would be with a sleeping fragment I had made thanks to my small connection. With that he would be sleeping this whole time as long as they are around and releasing. If someone found him, they better do something about the fragment before it took them too which was impossible because I hid it too with who knows except me.' Yua thought as she walked around.

There are some people walking too as they give a bow of respect before they pass through her.

Yua mentally sigh, 'Usually, people who try to spy their target disguise as a solder, that way they could infrared the place. If our enemy is smart then he would be keeping an eye on every solder within the castle. No one had ever thought to use a high ranking one because they knew they would be in trouble.'

She stopped walking when she saw the princess, Hitsui with her own bodyguard, Arcadios. She bowed as a greeting.

"Good afternoon Princess Hitsui." She spoke in same tone of the guy. She actually knew how to change her voice without any use of magic tools.

Hitsui who didn't notice anything about the person in front of her smiled, "Good afternoon too Nim-san, I see your patrolling as always."

She smiled, "Of course. It is my job to keep the kingdom safe from any intruder." Hisui smiled even more, "I see, keep up the good work Nim-san."

"Yes your majesty."

She now walked away with Arcadios who glance back to watch Yua walked away.

"Is there something wrong Arcadios?" Hisui asked. Arcadios shook his head, "N-nothing princess... just that I felt something off about him... must be my imagination."

Hisui didn't understand much but nod as they both left.

Yua who was walking can hear his suspicious words about her that made her smirk mentally, 'If I was an enemy, this kingdom is already done without a war at all. I could even assassinate the king without anyone knowing...' She sigh, 'What a disappointing result this is.'

She continue to walk away at the same time, create a map within her mind t know every places that could have a good possibility of hidden places and mostly, find the target.

Somewhere dark room, the man was sitting alone to his lone office when someone came in and bowed in respect.

"Sir we have prepared the departing team." The person said as five unknown people came in and kneeled down to the man.

He on the other hand was studying them before smirking. He stood up as he went to the five while the other who bowed step on the side as he was now standing in front of them.

"Remember your mission, retrieve Natsu Dragneel alive. Never let anyone follow you understood." He ordered.

"Yes Master." They all answered in union before they all suddenly vanish in thin air.

The man turned to the only person left and gave an order, "Is Kir doing his work?"

"Y-yes. He is now mix within the soldier as you had ordered to see if one of those soldiers is the intruder who made our men missing."

"IDIOT!" He shouted which made him tremble in fear. He continued, "Don't search this intruder from the soldier, searched this intruder from higher ranking!"

"S-Sir?" He can no longer help but questioned.

The man sigh as he gave an explanation, "We must never under estimate this intruder you moron. I could feel that this intruder is the intruder who protected that baby dragon a year ago. This person could kill with no hesitation and not just that, smart enough to be able to control things within that guy's own hands. So I am very sure this intruder will never take the low ranking position to find us, it would be a higher one to the point he could find us."

Realizing that made him bow as soon as possible, "I-I will inform h-him as soon as p-possible Sir!"

"Tell him to be careful, we don't even know the nature of the intruder's magic. If he found the intruder, assassinate before the guy founds out."

"YES SIR!" The person left.

Now he is alone again to his room. He returned back to his sit as he took a glance outside and smirked.

'Nothing will pass through me... no one.'

In the street, Laxus was walking around, not really know where he was actually going. All he was doing was walk around but not without aim. He does that because with his sharp hearing, he could search for silent clattery that might help him find something about this organization.

'Everything I hear are useless.' Laxus thought as he stopped for a while and looked around, seeing only civilians doing what they all normally do. He took a sigh before facing the kingdom that was far from where he is but could still see. 'That woman, Yua really infrared the castle with no problem at all. Just who really is she?'

Somewhere within the mountain, the dark mage, Zeref was sitting on the rock as he took bite on his apple. He was staring the clear sky and little afar was Obra who was watching him.

"Do you think something is going to happen to soon?" Zeref wondered before taking another bite.

Obra tilt his head, not knowing what to answer.

Zeref only smiled, feeling that soon something will happen. "Overcome your fear Natsu and get stronger... for those you dear so much." His smiled soften, "I'll be watching you... no matter what."

Next day Fairy Tail, Yukino, Happy, Wendy, Carla and Natsu were walking around together in shopping district when someone bump Natsu so strong that he fell on the ground. Yukino and the others went to Natsu immediately.

"Natsu-san are you alright?" Wendy asked as Yukino help Natsu to sit up. Natsu smiled weakly and nod, "I-I'm fine Wendy."

"Ah! I'm sorry! Are you alright?" The person who bumped to Natsu asked that they all turned to the person who has a blond hair, red lips and sapphire eyes, a woman. The woman sat in front of him and grab his cheek, making Natsu looked to her completely. The woman smiled, "Good, I'm glad you're alright."

"Y-yeah, tha-thank you." Natsu said, seeing how close she is right now.

"U-umm when will you stop coming close to Natsu-sama?" Yukino can't help but ask that. The woman smiled and as make a small space for the pink haired boy. The woman spoke with a smile, "Do you happen to be jealous? Are you his girlfriend?"

Yukino blushed on the words, "N-no you got it wrong!" Carla followed, "That's right and she has a point by the way."

"Oh is that so" The woman giggled before turning to Natsu.

She leaned closer and kissed his cheek which made him blush. The woman leaned to his right ears and whispered something. Natsu's eyes widen before his pupil change to white and eyelids fall haft of the eyes.

She step back before standing up, "I'm sorry for disturbing you all. I have to go now, see you." She walked away.

"Y-yeah s-see you... soon?" Wendy seems can't be polite to her for some reason. Carla only narrowed her eyes, having a bad feeling about something. Yukino turned to Natsu, "Natsu-sama are you alright?"

Natsu got back from his senses and turned to Yukino and nodded, "Y-yeah I'm fine."

Yukino help Natsu to stand up. Wendy and Carla went to them.

"I wonder who that woman was, I never seen her before." Wendy said. Carla nodded on the statement, "For some reason I have a bad feeling about that woman. Let's make sure not to run to her again to be safe."

Yukino nodded, "Your right. Let's go Natsu-sama."

Natsu nodded, "Okay" On his mind, 'What... just happen?'

Far in the dark alley, the woman arrived there and within the darkness, four mysterious people are waiting.

"I had done the first step." The woman told them.

The three within the darkness turned around to face someone who seems to be the leader of the team. That person had its eyes close and complete hidden within the darkness and sitting.

This person stood up and opened his eyes to see them, "We'll begin the operation."

"Yes sir"

Soon Wendy, Carla, Natsu and Yukino went back to Fairy Tail Guild. Mirajane was the one who greeted them.

"Welcome back everyone." Mirajane said with a smile. Wendy smiled back, "We're back Mirajane-san." Yukino and Natsu also smiled and greeted back, "We're back."

Carla just smile for the greeting when a sudden vision came to her. Her vision was a group of people fighting Sting, Rogue and Yukino with the other guild members. Natsu was also there and seems to be not in his self. Natsu was standing while in front of him seems to be an enemy and took him way with that person's comrades. Reality came back to her but her eyes were still wide in disbelief.

Carla turned to Natsu who was now talking to Lucy and Romeo. She narrowed her eyes, 'Someone will come and will take Natsu away.'

"Carla what's wrong?" The exceed turned to Wendy who seems to be worried. Carla spoke, "Wendy let's talk to Master."

"Eh? Why?"

"A vision came to me, telling me some people are going to take Natsu away from us. That guy is in danger."

That widens her eyes before turning into a determination and nodded. Both girls walked away, heading to the master's office. Unknown to the two, someone was watching them carefully and seems to hear what they had said. This person stood up from his sit and walked away. Well unknown to this person, two people were watching his movements, Freed who was standing from afar watching him and Mirajane as she serve some drinks and food to Macao and Wakaba. Their eyes narrowed and thought the same thing.

'He's the one'

Both turned to each other and nodded. Mirajane put down the tray on the table before walking away, followed by Freed. This time, they will now apprehend the spy.

In the castle of Fiore, the king announced a meeting which everyone is now present. Yua still in disguise was there, standing on the side as the high people were on the round sit, talking things about politics, economics and so forth. Yua listened to them but not too much interested as her one priority was finding her target.

'King of Fiore, Tome E. Fiore who was small size and has an accent of putting kuma in the end of his sentence. I also heard he wear mascot in the Grand Magic Game. Silly king and easy to target if ever I had come to kill him... The most interesting for me is the princess and his daughter, Hitsui E. Fiore.' Yun was now staring at her as she was on her sit and listening to the conversation. 'She possessed a magic called Celestial Magic and a brave princess. She also knew how to govern the kingdom even though she's just a woman, an amazing indeed.'

Yua smirked mentally before turning to the others. 'Arcadios, Holy Knight Squadron Chief. Darton, Minister of Defense.' She observed carefully on every single one of them, 'Within this meeting are the high ranking Dukes, Count and Viscounts who had served the kingdom ever since in ancient times. They had served well the king and now, one of this people is a traitor.'

"But I must say, I wonder what happened to Count Rim, unable to come here to our important meeting." One of the viscounts said. Another nodded, "He didn't give any call that he can't come."

'That's right, one of them is missing and that would be Count Rim. There is actually a possibility that he's the target I am looking for... or something happened that my target used him to cover his identity. This game sure thrills me for some reason.' Yua thought as she continues to listen and observed each one of them.

"Your majesty" Someone called, making the king of Fiore turned to him. He spoke, "Will you mind if I investigate this certain problem of ours."

"What would that be?" King Toma asked. This person spoke, "There was a report that someone had infrared the kingdom."

That shocked everyone. Yua pretended to be shock too but within she's narrowing her eyes on this person.

This person continued, "There are small evidences that someone trespasses the kingdom. My men found it a while ago. I decide to stay quiet, hoping that we will discuss about this but turns out that no one still haven't noticed."

"Are you sure about this!?" King Toma asked and this person nodded, "Unfortunately it is your majesty."

Hisui began thinking about what will be the intruder's objection. Arcadios too who was beside Yua was thinking.

"We need to find this intruder as soon as possible." Arcadios murmured. He turned to her, "Nim didn't you notice this on your patrol?"

Yua nodded, acting that she was indeed one of them. "I didn't notice at all, that is why it was shocking even for me Arcadios." She said in accent of the Nim who was actually the same rank as Arcadios. In her mind, she was thinking, 'That guy was the Viscount... the organization will use the king to stop my progress of finding them. Since he mentioned it and knew there was an intruder, I could only think one thing, he would either be part of the organization or again was being used.'

Darton turned to them, "Arcadios, Nim find this intruder as soon as possible."

"Yes sir!" Both answered.

'This might be a dangerous move but... I got to do it.' Yua thought before clearing her throat before speaking, "May I ask something?"

"Go ahead." Darton said, giving permission. She stepped forward and spoke, "About this intruder, where did you see the evidence? We might find something that could help us how to identify this intruder."

They all turned to the Viscount who had told them about the intruder. He spoke, "In the hidden side of the kingdom's backyard."

"I see. We'll be starting the investigation." Yua said before stepping back and turning to Arcadios who had nodded. 'Suspicion confirmed, he is indeed one of the organizations but I can't say he's the head. I knew there's a possibility but damn, how large are they?' She turned to everyone, 'They are trying to uncover me by using one of the facts where anyone could infrared in without anyone knowing it. They may had thought I had use the same passage way that is why they reveal it to startle me but too bad, that fact won't affect me.'

Soon enough the meeting ended and everyone were heading out the room. The king, princess, Adviser, Minister and Squadron Chief (Arcadios) are left behind. Yua who had left the room decide to do the investigation to avoid being caught.

After the investigation, Yua was now walking around the hallway as she think, 'There are indeed traces. Some old and some are new... more like it was being used frequently. For that reason I'm starting to think he could not be one of those organizations. Did my assumptions gotten wrong?'

As she walked, she heard two people discussing something from hidden. Yua hide on the wall and leaned there to listen to the conversation.

"I have done what you had told me Sir."

"Good to know."

She took a small peak and saw it was the Viscount who had told about the intruder while the other one was the adviser of the king.

"Our plan is doing well. If we could reveal that intruder, not only we can put him to stop but also be sentenced to death by the king itself."

"That's true. About the team we had sent to retrieve Natsu Dragneel, he told me they will now moving."

"Good to know."

Yua's eyes widen to the realization, 'So the head of this organization who wish to take over this kingdom and the whole country... was the Adviser of the king, Ernest H. Norwich.'

The adviser who was Ernest H. Norwich has dark purple hair, golden eyes with Rich Uncle style mustache. He seems to be around forty-five years old.

Ernest turned to where Yua was who immediately hide. He smirked, "We found the intruder."

Yua was bit surprise before smirking, 'So they reveal themselves to make me come out huh.' A sudden wind attack come which she able to avoid easily. The wall where she was before had a strong crack.

Yua was now being seen by those two but she didn't mind, since she too had found them.

"Who would ever thought you will disguise yourself as one of the Squadron Chief to find us and much more as Nim, impressive." Ernest said as he walked forward. She continues to smirk but still using the male's voice, "Same here. Who would ever think that the king's own adviser was the traitor? Not being found for this whole time, impressive I must say as well."

A man suddenly came out from behind of Yua. She turned around and recognized that person, it was Kir.

"This intruder dodged my wind? That's something." Kir seems amuse.

Yua turned back to them, "Do you think he is enough to stop me?" She narrowed her eyes, she could completely see she's being under estimated.

He chuckle, "I think he is enough for someone who's trying to uncover us. But I must say, your skill and intelligence can be use to our organization. Do you want to join? We can rule the whole country as much as you wish if you do."

Yua can only chuckle from his offer, "I have no interest on such thing. I'm here to reveal you within the light, other than that, nothing."

Ernest seems to have taken interest about her already, "I see. Very well but I will make sure I will make you agree."

"You mean by the use of your experiment to control will huh, not bad idea I must say." She said with smirk, truly mocking him.

The Viscount was surprise, "T-this person knew!?" Ernest was more amuse, "I wonder how much you had learned about us."

"Who knows... want to know?" She mocked. Ernest was more willing to accept it, "Kir this is an order, I don't care what you do but be sure to bring this guy alive."

Kir smirked evilly, "Accepted!" He gave a slash of strong wind that made everything that it cross damage. Yua turned to him and raised her right hand as strong heat pressure went around the wind that made it disappear. Due to that, her cover also diminished, revealing her true appearance to them which surprise Kir and the Viscount.

"You truly under estimated me." She said in narrowed eyes to Ernest. He kept smirking before turning around and walked away. Viscount followed from behind.

Yua was about to chaise after him when a strong wind covers her road and Kir standing there.

"You won't get away from me so easily and who would ever though my opponent and intruder was a beautiful woman? I can't wait to see how much pain I could give to you." Kir said as he reveals his weapon which was a death scythe.

Yua wasn't affected by his mockery, only narrowed her eyes, 'The trouble we will cause will prevent me from chasing after them... No matter...' Her black and blue aura showed around her. Her eyes show coldness, 'I will just finish this guy as soon as possible and escape here.'

I do not own Fairy Tail
