(Year X778) (With Rayeth and Natsu)

"Grahhh! This sucks!" Cried out a frustrated Natsu.

Rayeth looked over his shoulder from the map he was reading and said, "C'mon Natsu, don't complain."

Natsu crossed his arms to his chest and exclaimed, "How could I not?! I can't believe that gramps is making us collect these gross things for some weird science dude!"

"Well this our punishment for what happened a few days ago. Also, George-san is a professor, so of course he would want to study these saps." The Phoenix Slayer reminded his friend.

If you're wondering what's going on, let me bring you up to speed.

It has been over a year since both Rayeth and Natsu joined Fairy Tail along with Levy as their new addition.

Upon arriving back from Maystone, Levy at first was quite shy into meeting new people in the guild. But she was really reassured since both Rayeth and Natsu would be with her. And so far, her time joining Fairy Tail has been really enjoyable for the young bookworm.

Plus, both she and Rayeth have become really close as they often went on a job alone together and so on. Though, it wasn't really helpful when the adults, even Makarov, kept on teasing them on separate occasions.

Now about a few days ago, both boys took a job that involved getting rid of some pests that once taken over a restaurant. The job was successful, however Natsu blew up the entire restaurant along with several other buildings that were right near it.

Master Makarov nearly had a heart-attack at the cost of how much Natsu just burned down.

So as punishment, Makarov forced both Ray and Natsu to do D-Class jobs for at least two months upon his choice of recommendation.

And the job they were doing right now was collecting a bunch of really smelly red tree saps for some very weird professor who may or may not had too much coffee.

"I just don't understand why a guy like him would want such smelly saps? I mean, I nearly threw up just being right near it!" The Dragon Slayer complained.

Damn his sensitive dragon nose!

"Well we're already finished so let's just hurry and brings these back to George-san." Rayeth said.

Natsu nodded in agreement but soon asked, "By the way, Ray?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are we again?"

Rayeth stopped in his tracks and looked between Natsu and then back to the map he was reading, "Oh, I think we're somewhere around...the north I believe? Or is it the south? Ummm..."

"We're lost aren't we?" Natsu said in a dull tone.

"We're not lost! George-san drew us this map to give us our directions to where we should look for the sap and back to the station."

"Yeah, but...how the hell are we supposed to read his damn drawing?!" Natsu outbursts.

In Rayeth's hands was a very detailed map of where they were right now. However, the drawing of the paper was extremely difficult to read out since it consisted of confusing labels.

It took the boys at least four hours of trying to look for trees that contained the saps they were looking for.

Now it's been nearly two hours of trying to find their way back.

Rayeth then let out a sigh, "It can't be helped then, let's just hope we'll find a village or something along the way."

Natsu nodded the rested his hands to the back of his head, "Yeah, I just hope they have some food. I'm so hungry~!"

Rayeth chuckled at his best friend as they kept walking along the path.

He just really hoped that there be someone to help with directions.

(Somewhere else) (Unnamed Village)

From a far off town, a large group of townspeople stood outside in front of a small home. Every man and women alike each angrily held different farming tools as every single one of them shouted something about a 'demon' and wanting to get rid of it.

"Get out!"

"Get out of the village!"

"Demon-possessed!"

"How long are you gonna stay here!" They all cried out in rage.

From the inside of the small home were three kids huddling up together out of fear and concern for each other.

One was a young girl with short white bob-hair and blue eyes. She wore a light pink dress with ruby colored shoes.

Next was a young male, he was wearing a blue suit with a red bow tie. The boy had white hair, tanned skin, blue eyes and a large build for his age.

Finally was another girl who looked much older than the two. She had the same colored hair and eyes like the other two, but she wore a dark black cloak around herself that only showed her face.

They were Lisanna, Elfman, and Mirajane Strauss.

Mira was the oldest of her two siblings while Elfman was a year older than Lisanna.

For as long as they could remember, the three have always grown up together ever since their parents have died. Mira took it upon herself to look after her siblings to the best of her abilities. They lived a rather regular lifestyle inside the village but that was until a crisis occurred.

A demon had suddenly invaded and taken over the church. However, Mira confronted with the demon herself and had successfully managed to defeat it. Unfortunately, after its defeat, Mira had somehow gained a small portion of its appearance, causing to villagers to riot and call her the demon herself.

Now this kind of misfortune fell upon her and her siblings...

"Your family is cursed!"

"As long as you're here misfortune will continue in this village!" They continued to yell from the outside.

*Shatter!* A rock had suddenly broken through their window,

*Thunk!*

And managed to hit Mira dead straight to the side of her head, "Hn!" She winced a bit.

In worry, her younger siblings gathered around her as Lisanna spoke, "Mira-nee! Are you okay?!"

In response, Mira looked down sadly and muttered, "Sorry...It's my fault..."

"Don't say that, Nee-chan! It's not your fault!" Elfman protested for her.

"But it is my fault...If this wouldn't have happened..." Mira grimaced as she showed her demonic changed right arm.

From the outside, the siblings could here the yelling becoming louder and louder by the minute, "Get out, demons!"

"Get out of this village!"

No longer able to take it anymore, Lisanna angrily stomped towards the window much to her older siblings shock, "Stop, Lisanna!" Mira exclaimed.

Lisanna ignored her sister as she opened the window wide open and faced the angry villagers, "Mira-nee defeated the demon that was doing bad things in the church! She did it for the village...This is too cruel! She was possessed because she defeated the demon! It's not Mira-nee's fault!" She cried out as tears welled up in her eyes.

She absolutely hated how these people were treating her older sister. She and Elfman knew that Mira did the right thing in beating that demon, but this was truly unfair of how her sister was called some monster.

Mira gently pulled her sister away from window and into her arms, "Stop it, Lisanna."

Lisanna quietly sobbed in her sisters hold and said, "But...*Sob*...this isn't fair...*Sob*...You don't deserve to be treated like this...*Sob*..."

"*Sigh*...*Sob*..." Elfman began to sob a little as well as Mira then pulled her brother into the hug.

"Don't cry, Elfman." She huddled up her younger siblings in her arms as she let them let out their tears.

Mira continued to blame herself for what's happening right now. Because of her, even her siblings were persecuted as well just because they stayed with her despite how she is now. She loves her siblings but Mira couldn't let anymore trouble fall upon them because of her.

They couldn't stay in this village anymore. And she couldn't let anything bad happen to her siblings as well...

(Meanwhile) (Back with the boys)

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"How about now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Are we there now?"

"No."

"We there now?"

"No."

If Erza was with them, she would have knocked Natsu out cold just to silence him. For the past forty-minutes, the boys continued walking down the same path they were lost in.

So far none of them managed to find one trace of civilization. Natsu had constantly been annoying Rayeth as the Phoenix Slayer surprisingly hasn't snapped at him yet.

"Argh! How long will this take?!"

Rayeth sighed a bit and said, "I don't know, but I think we're getting close. Look, I think I see a village just up ahead!" The Phoenix Slayer pointed at the distance.

Natsu's enhanced eye sight stared off to where his friend was pointing at and managed to catch the glimpse of a small village, "I see it! Awesome! I hope they have some food!" He then ran off towards the village's direction.

"H-Hey! Natsu, wait up!" Rayeth chased after him.

After catching up to his glutton of a best friend, the boys entered the village but noticed that a bunch of the townsfolk were all gathered outside of one building, "Hey, what's going on over there?" Rayeth asked.

Natsu shrugged his shoulders in response, "I don't know. How about we ask."

The boys casually worked towards the large crowd as Natsu tugged on one mans shirt getting his attention, "Hey, what's everyone doing?"

The man drew his attention towards the boys and raised an eyebrow, "Huh? You boys aren't from around here are you?"

It was Rayeth's turn to speak, "No we aren't. My friend and I are actually from Magnolia."

"Magnolia? Isn't that where strongest wizard guild, Fairy Tail, is from?" Asked another man.

Natsu nodded and puffed out his chest proudly, "That's right! Names Natsu Dragneel! And this is my friend, Ray!"

Rayeth politely bowed in greeting, "It's nice to meet you. My name is Rayeth Knoules."

An old appeared from out from the crowds and approached the boys and asked, "Young man, are you and your friend actually from the Fairy Tail guild?"

Rayeth nodded as he and Natsu showed their guild marks to them, "Yes we are. Natsu and I are mages to Fairy Tail." He said.

The crowd began to mutter to each other as they looked between both Natsu and Rayeth. After settling down, the old man began to speak, "I ask for the people of this village, can you two perhaps help us with a major issue?"

"Sure. What seems to be the problem?" Rayeth asked.

"You see, a dreadful demon has cast its misfortune upon our village, and we are hoping you could help us get rid of it."

Natsu gave a wide smirk as he punched the palm of his hand, "No problem! Just tell us where to find this demon and we'll get rid of it in a jiffy!"

If this meant he could finally get some action, then he's down for it!

"Natsu, please calm down." Ray scolded his pink haired friend as he turned back to the old man, "Sir, like my friend said, where can we find this demon?"

The old man pointed at the building with his cane, "It's just right inside that building. However, I doubt going through the front door will be easy since its been barricaded from the inside."

Rayeth rose an eyebrow at this. Why would a demon barricade itself inside one building just to prevent the villagers from entering? Couldn't it have just threaten or even kill them to not come in?

Natsu grinned at the old man and said, "You don't have to worry about that! Ray, I got a plan, could you fly me over the building?"

Rayeth came out from his thoughts and nodded, "Yeah, sure." Rayeth passed his bag to Natsu as the black haired boy flared out his azure blue wings in front of the crowd.

The villagers were awestruck at the sight of Rayeth's beautiful blue flaming wings. Natsu raised his arms in the air as Rayeth then flew up above him and grabbed his wrists to fly over the house.

As soon as the boys were right above the building, Rayeth asked, "So how exactly are we getting in, Natsu?"

The pink haired Dragon Slayer grinned up to his best friend and said, "Easy, all you need to do is drop me!"

Rayeth looked at his friend incredulously, "...What?"

"Just let go of my wrists so I can dive down towards the building!"

"...Absolutely not! Are you crazy?! I'm not going to drop you while we're in mid-air!"

"Oh c'mon Ray! We'll be able to do an unexpected surprise attack on the demon, then beat it up real good!"

"This is a terrible idea, Natsu!"

"No it is not! I'm telling you, this plan will work out fine!"

"And I'm telling you that I don't want to drag your body back to Magnolia in a body cast...Again!"

"That was one time!"

As the boy continued to argue in mid-air, the villagers could only sweatdrop at the scene right in front of them.

Was it really a good idea to rely on children?

(Meanwhile)

Back inside the home with the Strauss siblings, they noticed that the villagers were rather...quiet?

"They've been quiet for sometime now. What do you thinks going on?" Elfman asked his sisters.

Lisanna shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. Maybe they've given up?"

It was then that Mira's ears perked up as she heard something. It was faint, but she could hear it.

The older Strauss sibling turned to her brother and sister and said, "Hey, do you hear something?"

The younger Strauss' looked at their older sister, "Eh? What do you mean, Mira-nee?" Lisanna asked.

"No, just be quiet for a second and listen closely..."

Both Elfman and Lisanna looked at each other for a second before complying with Mira's request. The three of them stayed quiet for a minute and that's when they did hear something.

But it sounded like...arguing?

"Is that...yelling?" Lisanna asked.

Elfman spoke, "But, it sounds like it's coming from right above us?"

"Natsu! Stop! I can't fly properly if you're moving like that!"

"Then just let go! I told you I'll be fine!"

"And I told you that I wouldn't! Now please stop thrashing around or else-Gaaah!"

*Crash!*

The roof of their home had suddenly bursted as large clouds of dirt and dust filled the entire room, causing the Strauss sibling into a panic.

"Kyaaa!" Lisanna squealed.

"What the-?!" Elfman said confused.

"Lisanna! Elfman! Are you okay?!" Mirajane asked her siblings in concern.

Lisanna coughed a bit from the suddenly crash but still responded, "*Cough!* *Cough!* I'm okay. Elfman-nii-chan, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. But what was that?" He asked.

"Lisanna, Elfman, stay close to me right now." Mira told her siblings which they complied to.

As the dust began to settle, the Mira managed to catch a glimpse of what was in front of her. They were two boys. One of the boys was around Elfman's age that had black hair with a small blue fringe, while the other boy, who was around Lisanna's age, strangely had pink hair.

'They're just...kids? What are a bunch of kids doing here?' Mira mentally asked.

The two kids in question groaned a bit in pain as the black haired boy spoke, "See...I told you it was a bad idea..."

"Auuu...Says you...You can heal from this...*Groan*...And I told you I would have been fine...*Groan*..." Pink haired one responds to his friend.

While staring at the two boys oddly, Lisanna spoke up, "Umm, are you two alright?"

The pink haired boy stood up and responded, "Yeah, we're good. Better if someone would have just listened to me." He gave a pointed glare at his friend.

The black haired one followed gave his companion an annoyed look, "Can we please not start this? I was worried you were going to get yourself hurt you know."

The pink haired boy face lightened a bit and looked apologetic, "Yeah...I guess you're right. Sorry about that, Ray."

The boy smiled at bit and said, "It's fine, Natsu. I'm just glad you're not hurt."

"Excuse me?" The boys turned their attention to the other three occupants in the room, "I don't mean to sound rude, but who are you?" Elfman asked.

"Oh, sorry about that. My name is Rayeth Knoules. And this is my friend, Natsu."

"Sup! Names Natsu Dragneel! Pleased to meet ya!" The boys introduced themselves.

"Oh, well my name is Elfman, and this here is my younger sister, Lisanna..."

"Hello." Lisanna waved at them but strangely kept her focus on Natsu.

"...And this is our older sister, Mira." Mira didn't say anything as she just looked away from them.

"It's nice to you three! Now do any of you know where me and Ray could find a demon living here?"

Mira flinched slightly as her younger siblings looked surprised, "Why?" Lisanna asked.

Rayeth answered, "The villagers requested both Natsu and myself in getting rid this demon from inside this house. But we don't see one anywhere."

The younger siblings widened their eyes in shock while Mira gave them a small look.

If they were here to really to get rid of her, then maybe both her siblings can finally take a chance to get away from here...

Mira stood up from her spot and lifted her head, "It's me...I'm the demon you're looking for..."

"Mira-nee?!"

"What are you doing?!" Her brother and sister exclaimed at her.

The Dragon and Phoenix Slayer looked at each other for second before Rayeth spoke up, "Wait, you're the demon the villagers are so upset about?"

Lisanna frowned at him before she stood up in front of the two with her arms spread behind Mira, "Mira-nee is not a demon! She hasn't done anything wrong at all!"

Elfman nodded and followed suit, "That's right! Nee-chan didn't even hurt a single person!"

"Lisanna, Elfman, that's enough." Mira said.

"But Mira-nee-!"

"Enough, Lisanna." The older Strauss spoke with a more authoritative tone that caused Lisanna to close her mouth, "I've already made up my mind and that is final. I don't want either you or Elfman to get involved."

Her younger siblings looked like they wanted to protest more, but that's when suddenly Rayeth grab their attention, "Um, excuse me, but can any of you please tell us what's going on? And why is Mira-san calling herself a demon?"

The Strauss siblings looked amongst themselves before Lisanna began to explain, "Well, it all started when a demon took over the village's church..."

(One Explanation Later)

"...And that's why Mira-nee is treated so poorly...The villagers believed that Mira-nee was possessed by the demon just because how her right arm looked..."

After hearing the younger girls story, both Rayeth and Natsu couldn't help but feel upset and angry of these people were treating these three.

She defeated a demon that was terrorizing their village but in exchange she and her siblings were now hated.

"I can't believe these people would do such a thing..." Ray said in a displeased tone.

Natsu nodded as he began to blaze, "Yeah! Those guys are just a bunch of stupid jerks. They're just like Gray, only stupider!"

"Who's Gray?"

"Never mind that." Rayeth waved off Elfman's question. He then turned to Mira and asked, "Mira-san, I don't want to sound insensitive, but may I please see your arm?"

Mira's eyes widened a bit, "M-My arm? But why?" She asked.

"I'm not going to do anything with it. I just want to take a quick look at it and check something." He said.

After a few moments of silence, Mira gave a reluctant nod as she slowly showed her demonic arm to the Phoenix Slayer.

Both Ray and Natsu widened their eyes at the appearance before them as Rayeth began tracing the arm with his eyes, "So what's up, Ray?" Natsu asked.

Rayeth pulled back as he placed his hand under his chin and got into thinking position, "Hmm, I think I know what this is..."

The trio of siblings widened their eyes as the youngest sibling asked, "Really?! The what is it?!"

"I can't quite remember honestly, but I have read something about this somewhere with Levy before..."

"Then maybe gramps knows about it." Natsu spoke up.

"Gramps?" Lisanna tilted her head.

Rayeth answered for her, "Oh, he means our Guild Master, his name is Makarov Dreyar and Natsu's right, I think he may know what could be wrong with Mira-san."

Elfman then asked in worry, "But...how? The villagers are still outside and they'll never leave us alone..."

He's got a point there. Rayeth began to think of how they were going to slip pass those people without noticing.

They could wait till to quietly leave at nightfall, but he kind of suspects someone will be on a night watch or something. Plus, leaving in the middle of night was obviously too dangerous.

Though, he did know they will be wondering how long he and Natsu are taking to slay a demon...

And that's when something popped up in his head, "Wait...that's it!" The four kids jumped a bit in surprise at Ray's suddenly yell.

"What's it, Ray?" Natsu asked.

"I know how we can get out of here."

The four of them widened their eyes at this, "Really?! How?"

The Phoenix Slayer explained, "I got a plan. But first, Natsu, do you still have those red tree saps we collected?"

Natsu nodded in reply as he brought out his bag, opened it, and gave Rayeth a jar filled with a red substance, "Great! Now, I need all of you to listen to me carefully..."

(Meanwhile)

From outside of the home, the villagers were growing impatient of how long the two Fairy Tail mages were taking. It had been one full hour since the boys had entered the demons home, and so far it's been awfully quiet from the side.

"...Graah! What the hells taking so long?!" Cried out one frustrated villager.

"You don't think...those two died in there?"

"That's impossible! They were from Fairy Tail, they couldn't have lost!"

"But...they were still children..."

"Tch! Well it doesn't matter anymore! The longer that damn demon stays, the more misfortune falls upon us!" The frustrated villager began marching towards the house despite the many protests.

"H-Hey! What do you think you're doing?! You'll get yourself ki-!"

*Crash!*

Everyone immediately stopped as soon as they heard that loud crash. Soon, they all began hearing a lot more noises.

*Crash!*

*Boom!*

*Shatter!*

"What the hell is going on in there?" One man asked.

*Boom!*

*Shatter!*

*Roar!*

"Back! Back evil creature!" The villagers heard Natsu yelling loudly from the inside.

"What's going on?!" A man shouted asking.

*Roar!*

"Take this! And some of that! And some of these or whatever!"

The villagers grew anxious of what was going on from the inside of that house. If they had to take a guess, it might as well be that the boys are taking part of some fierce battle...

(Meanwhile) (Back Inside)

And by fierce battle, I meant trying to make the villagers believe that Natsu and Ray were fighting a demon.

The pink haired Dragon Slayer was currently smashing a bunch of glass plates and bowls while also screaming his lungs out of pretending to be fighting a demon.

From the side were both Elfman and Lisanna who were banging a bunch of pots and pans together to create a bunch of loud noises.

From the other side was Mira blowing on some horn that Natsu brought along with him that strangely makes a roaring sound.

Why would Natsu have a horn that creates monster roars you ask?

Well just the other day, he and Ray were forced into cleaning the guilds storage room as part of their punishment. Natsu then found a horn that could strangely only make some sort of monster roar.

So the Dragon Slayer then...borrowed it...just to use it on Gray and mess with him.

Stupid smug stripping ice-prick...!

Meanwhile, while all of this was going on, Rayeth was found pushing his hands against a wall as he was apply his magic to carefully melt it.

He would have blasted the entire thing in an instance, but he thought it could have been dangerous with the Strauss siblings right near him.

"Are you sure this will work?" Elfman asked as he continued create loud noises with Lisanna.

Rayeth kept is focus on the wall as still replied to the white haired boy, "I'm sure it will...I just need you and everyone else to go according as we planned."

"But what if those guys suspect something off?"

"Elfman-nii-chan, don't worry. We're doing this for Mira-nee, so we need to trust Rayeth-san and Natsu." Lisanna said.

Elfman nodded in reply, but he was still a bit nervous. He knew entirely this was for him and sisters to leave but can you blame a guy for being worried?

Blue heat began to slowly spread across the wall as the Phoenix Slayer continued to concentrate in carefully burning it.

'Almost...Almost!' Rayeth began to add a little more heat as finally a small hole appeared. The hole grew wider and wider as a large human sized hole was melted and burned right in front of the boy, showing him the outside.

Rayeth grew a wide smile on his face at his accomplishment and cheered, "Yes! I did it! Natsu, I need you wrap it up!" He yelled over his friend.

Natsu stopped for brief moment before a wide grin appeared on his face, "You got it bud!"

The black haired boy then turned to the siblings and said, "Alright, once I give the signal, grab the things you packed and run out quickly, okay?" They nodded at the boy for a response.

Rayeth turned back to his pink haired best friend who nodded at him to finish it off. The Fire Dragon Slayer the said, "Alright! It's the end of the line for you creep! I'm gonna blow you into smithereens! Fire Dragon...!"

...Wait what?

That wasn't part of the plan at all!

"Wait! Wait! Natsu, I don't th-!" Whatever Rayeth was about to say died as soon as Natsu finished his sentence.

"...Roar!" Natsu shot out a large breath of fire that blasted half of the roof to pieces.

The Strauss siblings ducked their heads as the villagers from the outside jumped in fright at the suddenly blast of fire.

Rayeth meanwhile only face palmed himself at the sight before him.

So much for carefulness and subtlety...

As soon as Natsu finished roaring, Rayeth immediately turned to the siblings, "Alright we need to go now!"

The siblings quickly grabbed their packed up bags and swiftly went out the exit Rayeth made. Ray followed after them but turned his attention back to his best friend, "Natsu, you know what to do next?"

The Dragon Slayer grinned and gave a thump up, "Yup! Just leave it to me, Ray!"

"Okay. We'll be meeting you at the forests." He finished as he then left to follow the Strauss siblings.

Seeing his friend run off to the distance, Natsu moved to the next phase of his friends plan. He brought out the jar that contained the red sap he and Ray were collecting as the pink haired mage then smeared the substance on his face, even his clothes.

Natsu took a whiff on his arms and recoiled in disgust due to the saps horrible smell, "Gross...I told Ray this stuff smells nasty! He so owes me one..."

The Dragon Slayer approached the un-barricaded door way as he walked right through it to the outside. As soon as he was outside, the boy was then crowded by a bunch of villagers.

"What happened in there?!"

"Is the demon finally dead?!"

"Of course it's dead! There's blood all over him!"

"But why does he smell so bad?" The villagers bombarded him.

The same old man from before approached Natsu and asked, "Young man, has the demon truly been slain?"

Natsu grinned and said, "Yup! I totally got rid of it! So now that we're done, I gotta go!"

The pink haired Mage was about to run off to meet with Ray and the others, but he was stopped, "Wait! What about that friend of yours?"

"Oh, ahh...He got eaten! Yeah, that's right, it was tragic." Natsu gave a fake sad look.

The old man looked at the boy in sympathy, "Oh, then I am terribly sorry for your loss. If there's any way we could rep-!"

Natsu interrupted him, "Nope, no thanks! It's how life works ya know? The old kick the bucket routine or whatever. I'm sure he's in a better place."

"Yes, but-!"

Natsu interrupted him again, "SorrybutIneedtoleaveI'llmakesuretomyguildmatesknow!" He sped up his words and ran off in full speeds, leaving the group of villagers standing there in a confused manner.

(Meanwhile)

At the entrance of the forest, the Strauss siblings and Rayeth were currently waiting for their pink headed companion to join up with them.

Rayeth was currently using his sharp eyes to see off to the distance. From there, he managed to find his pink haired best friend running towards them, "He's coming!" Rayeth said in relief.

Natsu had finally made it to his friend and siblings as he was breathing in exhaustion, "Hey...*Pant* *Pant*...guys..." He said tiredly.

The Phoenix Slayer smiled at his friend before patting his back, "Great job on your end bud."

Natsu gave a tired, but cocky, smirk, "Heh, it was no problem at all."

The boys were suddenly caught off guard when Lisanna ran up to them and wrapped her arms around their waists, giving them a hug, "Thank you so much for what you did! You've really helped us out!"

Elfman nodded, "Hm, thank you for helping us getting out of the village."

Mira didn't say much, but she nodded in thanks.

Natsu gave a wide smirk as he puffed out his chest in pride, "Yup! It was no problem! Now then, let's head back to the guild!"

The Dragon Slayer began to walk off with the others right behind him, but Rayeth stopped him, "Umm, Natsu, do you know where you're heading?"

The boy immediately stopped in his tracks and turned back to the others as Natsu rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Ehehe...I don't..." The Strauss siblings' sweatdropped at the boy as Rayeth gave a sigh. Well at least he still has that map George gave him...

...

...

...Oh boy this may take a while...

(One Month Later) (Fairy Tail Guild)

It has been one month since Rayeth and Natsu brought the Strauss siblings to Fairy Tail.

After a couple of days of travelling and a few wrong turns (Natsu burned that stupid map after their last wrong turn), Rayeth was tackled down by Levy who had been worried for him since he never came back the last few days he left for the job with Natsu.

It took some time for the Phoenix Slayer to make it up to the little bookworm.

And after reporting back to Makarov, the tiny master was rather happy that the boys managed to help the Strauss siblings.

Once Rayeth explained to Makarov to what happened to Mirajane, the tiny old man explained to them that Mira had a type of magic called Take-Over Magic.

Take-Over Magic allows the user to, essentially, 'take over' the power of an entity and use it to fight. It can increase the power, strength, and speed of the Caster, sometimes adding a new skill, such as flying or breathing underwater.

In addition to embodying an entity, Take-Over can also be used to control another entity or another entity's abilities. However, it is unknown if the entity one takes control of/takes over the abilities of has to have the characteristics of the Caster's specific type of Take-Over magic.

So in other words, Mira wasn't possessed, but instead she had the demons power inside of her.
But, it wasn't something she didn't want at all...

Currently now everyone was doing their usual thing.

Natsu and Gray were fighting again as Natsu finally got to use that horn on Gray. Rayeth was trying to get the two to stop fighting so a certain scarlet Mage wouldn't pummel them, Erza was enjoying her cake, and finally Lisanna and Elfman were talking with both Levy and Cana.

Since joining Fairy Tail, the younger Strauss siblings quickly established themselves among the entire guild. They learned the same type of magic that their sister has, however kept it secret as they wanted to surprise her of what they could do now. Plus, both Lisanna and Natsu are often times seen together on different occasions.

However, off from the sides, Mira was found sitting alone quietly on a lone table away from everyone else. Ever since joining the guild with her siblings, Mira has distanced herself from everyone else except Lisanna and Elfman.

Rayeth on the other hand was rather persistent in getting her to interact with the other guild members. While she was grateful for what he and Natsu did to help her and her siblings, Mira only gave the boy a tiny bit of interaction towards him. But she was rather annoyed that the Phoenix Slayer kept on pestering her.

Not like a Natsu annoying sort of way, more of his own friendly pursuit really.

Also, Mira hated the power that she had. Even though she was learning of how to control it, it was something Mira never wanted in the first place.

Mira felt she wasn't human anymore, that she couldn't keep her siblings safe anymore. She never regretted defeating that demon, but she never asked to have its power.

While everyone was messing around the guild as usual, Mira then heard footsteps coming towards her. Erza approached the older Strauss and said, "I heard about you, Mirajane. You seem to be pretty strong. So, did you get used to the guild?" She asked.

Ever since Rayeth and Natsu brought back the Strauss siblings a month ago, Erza was rather interested into knowing her new guildmates.

While she has spoken with Lisanna and Elfman, Mira would always up and walk away before Erza even got the chance to walk up to her.

It was really fortunate that Rayeth somehow got to have some small talk with her.

Instead of answering, Mira stood up from her spot and walked towards the guilds front entrance. Erza looked at the girl of wanting to stop her, "Hey...!"

However, the scarlet knight stopped when Macao spoke up, "Leave her be. She won't talk to anyone besides Ray or her siblings, nor will she smile."

"She always has a scary face. On the other hand, her brother and sister are perfectly integrated." Wakaba added.

Erza looked out to the outside as she saw Mira's figure slowly fade away from her. She sighed in defeat and decided to try again another time.

Meanwhile, while trying to pull his salmon haired friend away from Gray, Rayeth managed to catch the older Strauss's form walking away from the guild, "Mira-san?"

(Meanwhile) (With Mirajane)

Not to far from the guild, Mira was currently found walking along the empty streets of Magnolia all on her own. She stared at her demonically changed arm, "Magic. Demon. I don't want this power. It's horrible." She grimaced before hiding her arm away again.

Memories of how the villager's hatred towards her started to flood back into her mind. All the yelling, the anger, the fear, Mira remembered every single word.

Monster...Demon...Every word was nailed into her head. It was even worse when her siblings were involved in her mess. Mira would have been utterly devastated if something happened to either Elfman or Lisanna...

'I'm not...a human anymore...' She looked back to the guild where her siblings were at, 'It's a nice guild. I can safely leave them here.'

She made her decision, and while her siblings may be upset with her, or even hate her, she won't regret what she was doing, 'I'll just...leave this town...Goodbye, Elfman, Lisanna...Rayeth, thank you for trying to help...'

As Mira was about to continue walk away again, she stopped when she heard Ray's voice calling out to her, "Mira-san!"

The older Strauss turned back and widened her eyes a bit at the Phoenix Slayer, "Rayeth...?"

Rayeth finally caught up with her, "Where are you going, Mira-san?"

Mirajane looked away from the black haired boy and said sadly, "...I'm leaving Magnolia."

The Phoenix Slayer looked shocked at that, "But...why? What about your siblings?"

"It doesn't matter...All I do is cause misfortune for my family whenever they're with me. It's better to keep my siblings here where it's safe. There's no need for me to be here anymore..." She said as tears threatened to face from her eyes.

Rayeth looked at the older Strauss for a moment before he smiled at her and shook his head, "You're wrong, Mira-san. Elfman and Lisanna, they still need you."

"No they don't! It was because of me that they got involved in my mess back at the village! If it weren't for me, they would have gotten hurt by those people! So they don't need me giving them anymore trouble!" She shouted at him as tears started to fall from face.

The white haired girl sudden felt a pair of warms hands hold onto her demonic arm. Mirajane turned her head and found Rayeth holding her changed arm while giving a warm kindly smile, "That's where you're wrong again, Mira-san. Both Elfman and Lisanna need you, you're their older sister. And older siblings have to look after younger siblings."

"But I..."

"But nothing. Neither of your siblings have ever once spoke ill of you, and they're not going to start now. They love you more than anything and they aren't going leave you, and neither will I."

Mira looked at the boy in surprise, "Eh?"

Ray continued to smile at her, "I said that I'm not going to leave either. And not just me, there's Natsu, Gray, Erza, Levy, Cana, Master Makarov, and everyone else from the guild. We all treat each other like family and we never leave family behind. So don't carry your burden all on your own, you can always rely on us to help."

Mirajane started at the young boys brownish-orange eyes for a few moments and looked like she wanted to say something. However, she stopped the minute when she heard Lisanna's voice, "Mira-nee!"

The older Strauss looked at her younger siblings in surprise as Rayeth then took a step back, "Elfman? Lisanna?"

Both brother and sister stopped right in front of their older sister and smiled excitedly at her, "Look at this!"

"You'll be surprised!" They said.

"Animal Soul, Cat!" With a puff of smoke, Lisanna's clothes turned into a two piece bikini with a tiger print. She grew a pair of white cat ears and a matching tail and her hands as her hands feet turned into cat paws.

"Beast Soul, Bear! Only my hand!" Elfman's arm then turned into a bear hand.

Mira meanwhile looked shocked at what her siblings could do, "Eh?!"

Lisanna then cheered, "It's the same as your magic!"

"I can only do it with my hands though." Elfman rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Lisanna and Elfman approached their sister with their smiles not falling, "You always look so lonely." Lisanna said.

"Now you're not alone anymore." Elfman said.

Mira began to shed a bit more tears, but this time it wasn't out of the ones she had before, "You..."

"We're always together, Mira-nee!"

"Our magic is the same too!"

*Poof!*

With another puff of smoke, Lisanna had sudden turned into a small pig, "Wah! Uh? Uh? I still can't use it properly~!"

*Poof!*

Elfman's bear arm changed into a giraffe leg, "Waah, me too!"

"Heh..." Mira blew out a tiny bit of laughter before she smiled at her siblings and wiped the tears off her eyes, "How can you work for the guild with that magic?"

Despite their changed forms, the younger Strauss siblings smiled at their older sister as Elfman spoke up, "Like you protected us with your power...we'll protect you with ours."

"Elfman...Lisanna...Thank you so much." Mira pulled her siblings into a hug as her younger brother and sister hugged back.

Meanwhile, Rayeth was quietly standing right behind them as he wiped away a lone tear from his eye.

This moment was really special to them...

*Boom!*

"NATSU! GRAY!"

""WE'RE SORRY!""

Okay moment ruined...

As quickly as he could, Rayeth ran back towards the guild to his save friends lives from a very angry red head, all while leaving the Strauss siblings alone in their happy scene together.

(Three Weeks Later)

It has been approximately three weeks since Mira tried to leave the guild, but that all changed when she had drastic change of her outlook.

*Crash!*

"Is that all you got you pathetically weak excuse for a knight?!"

A VERY drastic change...

Mira's new attire consisted of a skimpy sleeveless black shirt that left her midriff exposed, a pair of leather shorts that were held up by a studded belt which had a demonic looking belt buckle, black thigh-high heels, dark nail polish, a black leather choker around her neck and her hair was in a pony tail that was held there by a large purple ribbon.

She also changed her personality as well. From a quiet and loner type of girl to a very cruel and intimidating violent bully which landed her the nickname, The Demon of Fairy Tail.

Mira stood in front of Erza with a smug smirk on her face from when she punched the scarlet mage.

Meanwhile, said scarlet haired knight glared angrily at the Mira before she got back up from the table she crashed into, "Heh, you call that a punch? Even a three-year old can hit harder than what you're throwing!"

And also over the course of those three weeks, she and Erza became a very violent pair of rivals. And let's just say that no one was safe once those two are about to annihilate each other.

Which happens almost everyday...

Mira glared at Erza and said, "Oh yeah? Well how about you come right here and say to my face you worthless nosebleed haired skank!"

"I'll gladly show you what a real punch is after I'm through with you cheap knockoff for a slut!"

"Bitch!"

"Whore!"

*Crash!*

*Boom!*

""Graahh!"" Bodies were sent flying everywhere as soon as both Mira and Erza started fighting again.

The guild became another loud mess again as everyone started fighting amongst themselves as tables, plates, mugs, and people were being scattered everywhere in the fray.

Natsu and Gray joined in to settle their own score, however never got the chance to as they were sent flying and knocked out courtesy of two angry females.

Meanwhile, off from the side away from all the mayhem were Rayeth, Levy, Cana, Elfman, and Lisanna talking amongst each other while ignoring what was happening.

And finally, Master Makarov was crying comically at all the damage done to his guildhall, and also the future noise complaints he will be getting soon.

Yep, just another regular day Fairy Tail.

AN: And that's the end of this chapter!

Honestly I wanted to continue from that last scene but I decided to do that for the next chapter. And I'm pretty sure some of you may know it.

And like I said before, all positions for new Phoenix Slayers have been filled in, so expect those in the future!

There are currently no fun facts. Sorry.

Please leave a fav/follow/review after this.

I hope you liked this chapter!

See you next time!
