Chapter 23: Re-Challenging Fairy Tail
(A/N: I think thats all I got for today lol. I'm spent. I'll try to upload more tomorrow. Might not go to work depending on how I feel. There's a bug going around and that took me out.)
(Jason's POV)
"What did you say?" Makarov asked me with a surprised look
I rubbed my hair, "Well, as I just said…." I said, "I'm willing to let you guys do a redo on the duel."
Makarov looked at me seriously, "Elfman dueled you and lost." He said, "Our agreement was final. We shall leave you alone."
I shrugged, "I understand." I said, "But I kinda feel bad for that. I mean, I beat his ass too easily."
Makarov sighed, "No need to rub it in." He said, "Besides, you aided us in the attack. We have no reason to bother you any further."
I frowned, "Come on man...." I said, "I wanna fight someone...."
I then heard Natsu yell out, "Oi, Gramps!" He shouted, "Let me at 'im!!"
"Quiet Natsu!" I turned to see Lucy holding him down
She looked as beautiful as the day she left. Man, I wanna fuck her again. But not today. She looked at me and blushed a little.
I gave her a smile before turning back at the old man.
"So, no way on the duel?" I asked
He sighed, "I don't see any point in dueling you again." He said, "You made your point that you didn't mean any harm to the girls. They are free to do as they wish, I only want them to be careful with their choices."
I nodded, "That's fair."
He then gave me a serious look, "But there's also Tartaros." He said, "I find it odd that we were able to easily repel them..."
I scratched my cheek, "Now that you mention it...." I said, "There was another female etherious detected....was it Kyoka?"
"Do you have any information regarding them?" Makarov asked
I shrugged, "Well, Seilah did mention some plan...." I told him, "But other than that, no. She and Torafuzar were sent down to retrieve some targets."
He placed his hand on his chin, "Troubling indeed..." He said, "Wait....Seilah? One of the Nine Demon Gates? How did she tell you this?"
"Oh." I said, "She's with me now. Long story. Trust me, don't worry about her."
He gave me a suspicious look, "If you say so..."
Before anything else, the doors slammed opened.
I turned to see Laxus walking in with a serious look on his face. I watched as the thunder god tribe ran up to him.
"Laxus!!" Evergreen shouted in joy, "You're back!"
Laxus nodded silently and walked over to us. I felt his immense magic power as he drew nearer.
He gave me a serious look before turning to Makarov.
"Gramps." He said, "Who's this?"
Makarov looked at him with a surprised look, "Laxus..." He said before clearing his throat, "This here is Jason....He...uh...well...how should I put this..."
Laxus gave me a serious glare, "Jason?" He said as lightning began to crackle, "The guy who defiled those girls?"
I frowned, "Defiled?" I said, "The fuck is your problem? I didn't defile shit. We've been through this, I did only as they wanted."
He stepped up to me and leaned in closer to my face.
"Is that so?" He said with venom, "I suppose I shall teach you a lesson if that's what you really think..."
I gave him a smirk, "Oh? Wanna go?" I said, "Fine by me. Lets dance!"
"Laxus, stop." Makarov said, "Jason aided us in the Tartaros attack. We've already resolved the issue."
Laxus stepped back and crossed his arms, "Is that so?"
I nodded, "yea."
He turned around, "Hmph. Very well." He said before walking away
I sighed, "Man. Here I thought I was gonna fight." I said, "Oh well.."
"How's this, Jason?" Makarov said, "Complete a mission for me and i'll grant your wish."
I looked at him, "Huh?"
He handed me a paper, "You'll act as freelance agent for Fairy Tail." He told me, "If you complete this mission, I'll gladly arrange a duel with whoever you choose. The terms of the duel shall be discussed then."
I took the paper, "Sure." I said, "What's the mission?"
"Take a look at it." He said
I looked at the paper. It read:
Capture Dark Guild Master Regulas.
"Who the fuck is this?" I asked
"A troublesome mage." Makarov said, "He uses rupture magic. I recommend you take a partner or two. Whoever is fine. But...."
I looked at him, "What?"
He sighed, "Don't get distracted if you choose a woman..."
I gave him a sly smirk,
"It ain't up to me, man."
