In The Times Of Fairy Tails

Well damn just gimme some chips and salsa and we got ourselves a fiesta up in this here whale. Scarlett was clearly agitated by the unexpected arrival of multiple others, one of whom being Beucette. Oh god, please don't make this turn out to be like some freakish walked up horror porn movie. Luckily, the whale died and they all got out safe and sound.

As Scarlett got back on the ship, she was disgusted by Her appearance. "Please tell me wherever we are going has a shower, because I refuse to remain like this the entire mission." Her eyes squinted in sheer annoyance at this major inconvenience.

 

"So which direction did you throw the airplane?"

Rennette turned to Veilen and nodded in response to his question. “Yes, Rennette threw it that way,” she said with assurance, pointing to the right. “Wait, actually that way,” she continued, swinging her arm to point to her left with equal conviction. After maintaining eye contact with Veilen for a few moments, she suddenly sighed and shrugged.
“Rennette doesn't really know where she threw it to, unfortunately,” she sighed. “She knows that it was thrown two-hundred and seventy-two degrees from the north, but since she doesn't know which direction north is, Rennette can't really tell you what trajectory the aircraft flew by.”
She shook her head sadly, but then suddenly brightened up as an epiphany visibly formed in her mind. “Ooh, ooh, does anyone have a compass?! If they do, then Rennette can figure out where the plane landed!” She looked around at the other guild members. “Anyone?”

 

Gexln was surprised to see Trevor actually take control and ask him to stop. Unfortunately, Gexln wasn't in complete control and his fist flew out to meet Boreal's face once more. "I have to do it, Trevor. Commotion downstairs is caused by a body swap, dunno what happened but people are in different bodies. Hell, I'm Gexln, got stuck in this guy of all peoples', but it could be worse....Mikasa is a cat right now" he explained.


So despite the station supposedly being closed, there were bad guys in there. So of course when Cassandra went into the station so did Caleb. Upon seeing the unconscious guards, Caleb immediately looked like a thief as he went over to their bodies. He began searching them, trying to find something of use. For some reason, they seemed to have this light blue smoke coming from their bodies as he searched. He did find something, and he casually pocketed it, before standing up. Cassandra was in danger, the bad guys were in the same room as Cassandra he assumed, and more importantly; plot progression! So Caleb ran into the next room.

tldr; Caleb looted the guards and ran after Cassandra.​

 

After having stopped at the Kunugi station, the group was apparently met with a slightly unnerving scene. The bodies of incapacitated guards were just lining the grounds every which way, and it was most likely Eisenwald who was the culprit in this scenario. While they were fast approaching the source of this, a voice called out to all of them, with Cassandra exclaiming back to them and running full force at the room. "Wait!" Aoki had exclaimed to try to get Casandra and Caleb to rethink what they were doing, in addition to hopefully making sure the others didn't rush in as well.

"Guys, don't you think this a bit weird?" Motioning to the bodies around them, she said, "these guys are clearly not pushovers and we have no idea how many of them there even are." Elaborating more, she said, "not to mention they know we're here, so just bullheadedly rushing into that room is likely just going to lead us into a trap of theirs. We should probably just try and find a different way in there or at least approach it slowly if we don't want something like that to happen."

Rho looked at their supposed competition, as Zephyros had pointed them out, and figured that they were none too threatening looking. And if Zephyros was speaking the truth, then that was perhaps and accurate judgement. However, before he could say anything on the matter of fighting the lot of them, the young girl Thea had said spoken up instead. Listening to the girl's argument about doing this fairly, he crouched down and patted her on the head as he explained, "well you see, young miss. The four of us," he motioned to himself, Aias, Taylor and Zephyros, "are not quite nobles where as the three of you," motioning to Vance and Conrad, "are. Now, if one of those two nobles were to enter the contest, and all of the competition just happened to not show themselves, and they had nothing to do with their absence, well then. I'd call that winning fairly." Standing back up he said, "besides," he looked to Zephyros and said, "I doubt the rest of these nobles are here to play quite so fairly."

 

​

Upon getting to to Kunugi Station, the group was greeted by it being blocked off. At first it was said that a derailment had closed it, but someone in the crowd claimed that there bad people inside the station. The quickest way of finding out which one was the truth was to venture into the station, which they did. Not only did the situation of the station become clear, but it was certainly an un settling one. Numerous guards in various stages of pain were just sprawled out along the floor. That wasn't a good sign as for what was to come for them.

That was when a voice had called out to them, asking them to join them where ever they were. Which Caleb and Cassandra did. Aoki on the hand did otherwise and attempted to keep the ones who didn't run off yet from doing so. "What others was of getting into that room do we have exactly? All I got is digging a tunnel, but that would take much to long for it be a practical solution."

With a nod Leo, and those who had chosen to go along with him, made their way out of the castle. Once outside, Leo stopped and took out the handkerchief that he was given. He then proceeded to move it towards his face and started to sniff it. It was definitely a weird sight to see, a man sniffing another man's handkerchief, but it was necessary for him to pick up the scent of the prince.

As soon as he was certain that he had the scent, Leo moved the handkerchief away from his face and pocketed it. The dragon slayer then started to sniff the air til he smelled the direction of where the princes scent was coming from. "The prince should be that way." He said, pointing in the direction the scent was coming from.

 

The Contest: Nessa's Castle​

Zephyros rubbed his temples when he heard what Thea had said, but luckily it didn't take long for Rho to make an excellent point. "I like the way you think Rho, I couldn't have said it better myself." Zephyros gave Rho a grin. "Even if we get rid of the outside competition, there is still all of us. I think that's healthy competition if I ever saw it."

Mission of the Utmost Importance: Inside Of The Station​

Caleb found an EXP Earring by looting the guards. Have any of you ever played an MMO? A bunch of dead guys on the floor and only Glen figures to look at them? But you know what it's ok.

 

​

Zwei followed the two girls to to whatever room they took him too and it took notice to the lack of knowledge he had when it came t acting like the prince. "I guess so, just how big is this book though."

 

Caleb was examining the earring he had. It looked different to most other kinds of earrings, like it had some kind of unseen power. He held it above his head to get a better look at it, and immediately the earring began floating in the air above him. He began feeling dizzy, like the room itself was pivoting around him in order to get a dramatic effect going, before at last he realized what the item was; he had obtained an EXP earring!

Upon this deduction, Caleb placed the earring back inside his pocket, ready to continue.


"Trevor, you know that I can be serious when the situation demands it. I won't let this body get control of me again. I give you my word as a dragon slayer and as an S-class wizard that I won't harm in in any way, at least until you return. I'll keep him safe, you go and sort out this problem" Gexln said, his voice taking a very serious tone as he spoke.
​

 

Mission of the Utmost Importance:



Ander's pov:
He saw the people on the ground. "This is what happens when you let a dark guild member run Rampit." He said to no one in particular. Then there was a voice. Kage knew they were here. How did he know? Cameras, spies other ways? Caleb soon was hunting through people's pockets. What was wrong with that man? He soon went into the room Cassandra was in. This was clearly set up in some way. Some girl was speaking and he had no clue who they were. "I agree, but if they know we are here there is not much we can do. This could be the only entrance." If this was the only entrance then there was not that many options. He looked at the guards in pain. "Is there anything we can do for them?" He did not think there was, but there might be a chance to help them. "In regards to getting in there we could just try to blend in." He then thought some more. A wall soon came out of no were. "I here there is some super powerful boss here. I think it goes by the floor boss. Kind of dangerous." The broken 4th wall soon fixed it self like nothing ever happened.

 

Mission of the Utmost Importance:

Jack's pov: Aoki had said exactly what he was thinking. "There has to be a back door or a window somewhere. We can use that." He started scanning the building from were he stood. Waitting for the others to deside what do do. Maybe they would deside something soon. He didn't understand why Caleb would take something from hurt people something was wrong with that. There wasn't time to worry about what Caleb did though they had to find a different way in the building.

Kingdom of Elamos:

Amanda's pov: "The king must know were she stays. I could tell him I want to help with the wedding and ask were her room is. Or I could just randomly look in every room in the castle. What do you think Johanna?"

 

​

"There isn't much that we can do for them now, as for blending in that might not work since Caleb and Cassandra already ran in. Of we try that and they recognize us before we accomplish anything, then it would be pointless." Zephyr said in response to Ander. The guard were already down, but they weren't dead. So someone else should call for help once the situation was taken care of, which they would have to be the ones to take care of it. Trying to help all of them would only lessen how much time they had to deal with the real issue. The Dark Guild.

Next person to speak had been Jack, who brought up the possibility of there being a way in from the back. It certainly was a possibility. "Hey Aoki, do you think you could use your glider to see if there's a way in from the back?" He remember that they had quickly managed to get to the roof of Everlue's manor with her glider, so flying around to the back of the station to scout it out and retuning here shouldn't take long for her to do so. Then maybe they might have another way into the station.

 

"If that nobleman's mother found interest in a smith, then he is far, far from worthy of his rank. He doesn't deserve to have what he has. And a man should have more interests than just horses."

"Palatine sounds simply intolerable. He would be undesirable to even be in the presence of my future wife."

"Monsieur Le Bon by the sounds of it is a drunk and little else. Perhaps worse than Edric at the guild. That leaves him very few personalities, I am disappointed, Zephyr. You give this man far too much credit.

"Falconbridge... We can ignore."

"And the Pirdish Lord sounds simply a brute. His presence is an offence to all men of character. Particularly to Falconbridge by the sounds of it." With his judgements on the other suitors finished, he moved on.

"Sportsmanlike, or even honourable... No. It is however, more practical. And one might say that we are competing for the very right to go inside, were we to enter." Vance pointed out. "None of them will stand in our way."



Alessia ran after Cassandra without a second thought. They had to track down Kageyama, and Erigor and that X guy if he was with them. They couldn't allow them to escape from them.
"There's no time to waste! Come on! For all we know, the people inside are in greater danger and we can't just let Cassandra go in there alone!" She exclaimed, following the S-Class. Why are they wasting time? Don't they know how dangerous wasting time could be? Someone could be in danger... I won't allow that. I won't allow anybody to go unsaved. Not again. It's our duty to save people, it's the nature of the job...

 

Kingdom of Elamos: Inside The Palace​

"Samantha already told you, Preminger doesn't live in the castle." Johanna rolled her eyes. "I don't think you should bother the King right now, especially when he's mad at us for protecting his son."

Samantha brought out a large book, and placed on a music sheet stand. "It's easier then it looks." She told Zwei. "Commit it to memory. Remember, No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed. Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud." Samantha put her arms behind her back and stood regally. Samantha lead Zwei in front of a table, which had many pieces of silverware. "The first thing you will have to do when you 'return' is eat with the Princess Dominique. You must know what spoon to use." While Samantha explained, Johanna took out a pair of shoes from the thousand pairs Zachery had, and placed them in front of Zwei. "To maintain a regal gait, leave the parsley on your plate."

"You must be charming, but detached." Johanna chimed in.

"And still amused. Do not look bored." Samantha continued. "You must never show that you're confused." That's when Samantha started to get into the more complicated part, she hurried and spoke quickly.

"Do a plie and never fall." She mimicked one for Zwei, still dragging him around the Prince's room. She ruffled through a few things in the closet, and handed them to Zwei and she continued talking. "Don't ever stray from protocol, all through the day there's just one way you MUST behave." She then walked to him, putting her hands on his shoulders, straightening them. "Have your shoulders back, your stomach in." She pressed down on Zwei's stomach, straightening it out as well. Putting here fingers under his chin, she lifted it. "There, arch your back. Bend from above." She bowed. "Always wear your gloves, and wave. Here, like this." Samantha pushed him forward a little to see if he was grounded.

Johanna and Samantha both went through a series of closets, throwing clothes onto a large pile, but they continued talking.

"Breath gently, step lightly, smile brightly, and nod politely. Never show a thing you feel inside."

"When speaking, speak and be clever, and you should never be at a lost for words. "

"Never show dismay."

"And be there when people call. Be prepared whatever royal life will bring."

"Think of the palace like a stage, never ever turn your back."

"There's a time and place and way for everything." Samantha then went through the piles of clothes, and handed them to Zwei. "You must always look your best. Change into these."

"I think we taught him everything." Johanna crossed her arms proudly. "Now we just need to stick a crowd on him, and present him to the King."

Journey to Sian: Riders of the Desert Guild
​

"Laaaaaaaaaaand hooooooo!" Calxiyn shouted excitedly. "Let's go everyone!" Calxiyn told the group.

The group walked throughout the desert, until they found a Guild, shaped, like a pyramid. "This is the spot." Calxiyn said, looking at her map. "Let's go on in." She smiled, walking through the opened entrance. The inside of the pyramid, was giant. Inside it, were wooden chairs and tables. It was very dark, with only torches on the walls of the pyramid, as well as hanging from above.


"This is what we have to show for our trouble, A SCEPTER." X threw it down onto a table, as many of the other Guild Members were murmuring.

"A scepter that will guide us to-"

"Your time is drawing to a close Balthazar." X crossed his arms.

"X, if you're talking about spilling my blood, I just don't see that happening." Balthazar closed his eyes, breathing steadily. He spoke quietly. He was soft spoken, and didn't flinch.

"Then why don't I open your eyes." X was ready to stick his knife in Balthazar.

"Wait!" Calxiyn went running in Keyblade in hand. The two men stopped, and the crowd didn't really budge either. This must have been a biweekly happening in this Guild. They then turned to the Guild Members. Balthazar, keeping his calm spoke to the Guild.

"Welcome to you all, you must be the Guild Members we requested to help us." He said. "I am Balthazar, and I am leader of this guild." He looked at X as he said that.

"Yes, that's us sir." Calxiyn did a curtsy.

"I would love to tell you more about the mission, but alas, you must prove your worth to us." Balthazar said. "To show us that you have both power, and intelligence, enough so that you can take on a job of such caliber, I would like you to challenge my second in command, to a battle." Balthazared gestured tto X, who shot him a glare.

"Will you do it?"

 

Conrad Heinrich Adelbrecht Carsten von Eisenstein II

Conrad simply sat down by himself in the sun to dry his clothes after the fight with the whale. His hair was less of a disaster than Vance's, who among his companions crazy enough to venture into the whale, had been lucky enough to be spat out before being dragged to meet the Mother. The remainder of the journey he spent by himself recovering from the hits he'd taken. It took a while for them to arrive and his clothes had completely dried. "Good Luck in Sian" He called before disembarking, following Zephyros.

They were halted after just entering the Castle when Zephyros pointed out the competition. Every single one seemed to have one fatal flaw, a prideful one, two violent ones, a gloomy one and one who didn't speak the language, what an assortment of people. While he had been observing the people a discussion had already broke out regarding the morality of the option Zephyros gave them, they could take them out right there and then, sure Vance had a point in practicality, but practicality didn't make it right, he had a thought. "The girl has a point, Vance, I mean they're no real competition then why bother taking them out while they could just wash out of the competition on their own." He then turned to Zephyros "No matter what you will do, I outright refuse to lift my sword against these people, I would only do so in self-defense. Kill them if you want to, I can't stop you from doing it, but I won't have a part in it." With these words he took a step back.

 

Mission of the Utmost Importance:



Ander's pov:
Not much we can do for them. He shook his head. "By the time someone gets here it will be to late." He looked around the room and found some of the not as hurt guards. cure. He healed a few guards. "Go get help." He told the guards. Then he looked at Zephyr. "They already know that we are here, so really it does not matter what we do. Standing around is just wasting time." Then Zephyr asked Aoki to go around the back and see if there was a way in though the back. "Spliting up is not a good idea." He remembered what happened last time someone went on there own. Soon Alessia went into the room. At this point it was probably best to stick together then to find there own way in. He put the hood on his robe on his head. After a few more moments. He looked at the door. "Time to end this" He walked into the room and found the narest cover. He entered in a way so not to get spoted easily. Even if he did the head covering would provent someone recognizing him right away.

 

Kingdom of Elamos:



Amanda's pov: "What do you suggest I do then? She has to be staying somewere. I could look in the town for her house or something. Someone must know were she stays." She asked while Samantha tryed turning Zwei into a prince. She didn't care at the time that he was slowly turning into the prince. She found it amusing the Samantha was trying to change Zwei into something he wasn't. She cared more about finding the duchess at the moment. She didn't care at the moment about if Zwei could pull off being a prince or not. While she wished him luck she dumpt this would work for long. "Remember we need proof the duchess is behind this. I don't think the king will take our word for it." (Rng for finding the duchess in the castle so i can fallow her or Johanna could suggest something for amanda to do or both could happen)

Mission of upmost importance:



Jack's pov: "Alessia is right we really don't have time to look at the whole building. Ander is right about the time we have. We don't have much." He then remembered what waiting did in the last mission he was on. It didn't help at all. He would find a way in the room some way. Expecally if they had Ren. Ren had to be saved. He couldn't let others get hurt. Staying together was there best best. While he knew the main entrance was most likely a trap it might be the only way in. If there was a separate way in he would find it quickly and go in that way. If there wasn't a different way in they would have no choice but go in the way cas did. He then put on his hood so he would not to be notaced. (Rng for finding a separate entrance to the room cas whent in. If rng fails Jack will try and sneak in the main entrance or if there is no separate entrance he will try to go in main entrance unnoticed. So he would be unnoticed entering the room either way. Unless its impossible to sneak in the main entrance in which case I guess Jack will be in the room)

 

Taylor sighed with relief as the battle ended without any further lightning moves, and waved goodbye to the other group before walking off of the ship onto dry land. She didn't really speak much as she regained her composure, and gradually her cheery attitude came back as Zephryos described the competition, or lack therefore of. "I agree with Conrad and... Thea. That's your name, right? Sorry, I'm really bad with names," Taylor laughed, struggling to remember the names of her comrades. She gave the two a smile, and then continued. "From what you've described, Zeph, they don't seem like they'll be a match for the lot of us. If we're worried about competition, we should fight ourselves to discern who's worthy enough to enter the competition," she teased, clearly not being serious about the idea.



Therity was suspicious about the voice and the entrance, and lagged behind everyone else. If there was a trap, she refused to be caught in it, and she supposed she would just have to rescue everyone else if were captured.​
