White Eclipse

Chapter 1

A few weeks have passed since the dragons attacked. Things have returned back to normal as Fairy Tail was again the top guild in Fiore. Everything was back to it's usual feel in Fiore, except there was one "small" problem.

"Gah! Why are there no jobs!" Natsu screamed out as he vigorously ruffled through his hair in frustration. "This makes no sense! Every job we go on, someone else finishes it before we even get started!"

Erza nods her head in agreement. "This is strange. Mirajane contacted the other guilds we know, and they say that it's not their doing."

"I think someone is trying to show us up!" Natsu yelled back. "I know it!"

"Calm down flame brain." Gray leaned back in his chair as he sighed. "I'm sure it's just a string of coincidences."

Lucy stares at the board from her seat. "Even so.. This is still strange. Every time we go to talk to the person who posted the job, they say that it's been handled, but they won't tell us by who. They always say they want their name to stay a secret."

"Mysterious." Levy stated, she sat next to the uninterested Gajeel who had his arms folded. "Even the S class mission are being taken too, right Erza?"

Erza nodded. "Yeah, it's weird, but I guess the only thing we can do is keep trying. We have to eat, and Lucy has rent to pay. We all have needs for the jewel so we can only continue to keep trying."

"Speaking of that," Lucy turned to Bisca. "Bisca, is Alzack still on that job? Maybe he's had some luck?

Bisca smiles and nods towards Lucy. "Yeah, he should be back before nightfall. It was a simple job. Just enough for some extra jewel in our pockets. I just hope this job being taken thing doesn't happen to him."

"I'm sure he'll be fine!" Lucy exclaims. "Alzack will be proof that we are worrying for nothing about this job thing!"

Out near the snowy mountains, Alzack begins his walk back to Fairy Tail.

"Man, another dead job. Who keeps beating us to them? It's like they're targeting us. What will I tell Bisca?" Alzack continues walking through the light snow storm as he almost exits out the snowy region, but before he got too far. A shadowy figure stood a little ways in front of him. "Alzack Connell." The mysterious figure called out. "Fairy Tails gunsman." Alzack took a step back as he readied his gun. "Who are you and what do you want?"

The mysterious figure walks into view, showing his tall yet slender stature. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a white jacket and black slacks, along with black boots. "My name is Reve, i'm a guns mage as well, and I challenge you right here and now."

"Not interested." Alzack replied. The Fairy Tail Mage began walking past Reve as he started making his way out the region. "Shame, I heard you fairies were truly cowards, but it's another thing to see it." Alzack stops on a dime from Reve's comment, but that doesn't stop him from talking. "That Bisca of yours seems to be in love with a wuss. Maybe after I beat you, she'll realize what a real Mage looks like. Not that I'm interested. I could do better." With that Alzack

begins his turn to Reve, already having a magic circle placed on the Mage. "How dare you!" A single shot was heard from the surrounding area as one of the mages falls to the snow.
