Chapter 53: Eclipse Gate (3)

~Yaijima POV~

"See you later Yaijima-san!"

"Thanks for the meal it was really good!"

Waving back at the two-youngster couple I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. To think I would get to meet again with the founders of Fairy Tail, living and breathing.

Or at the very least lookalikes from the picture. Although I could be mistaken though as they could be doublegangers since there are others like that in the world, I couldn't help myself it feels like I'm assisting them.

Who knows they could be their decedents even?

I recall Warrod mentioning them as I do remember him talking fondly of his time in Fairy Tail with about the two with me since I'm a former member of Fairy Tail myself.

Ah…

The good old days with Makarov, Porlyuscia, and Rob having adventures of our time along with the rest. Even the second generation of Guild Master Precht words once like him with his friends but alas time changes us…

Still, even if they were doublegangers I sure had a good time enjoying their company. It felt like I was young again.

Shaking my head it was a pleasure to treat the two since it was because of them I became the man I am today.

Although I wonder why they came back or why they retain their youth something tells me those two are bound to cause a lot of trouble.

But what else is new about that?

Sigh…

Now if only the rest of the members of the Magic Council were that upbeat and not old sticklers in the mud.

Although the Era Wyvern steak with a side of olive clover ale simmering always brings the best out of the meal.

Maybe after I retire, I could become a cook in the future…

~Rou POV~

"Argh…"

Waking up groggy in the morning standing up and stretching my body I remember we had dinner with Yajima last night showing us a good time.

The restaurant he showed us was definitely good to come back to with Mavis on a date but we have a job to do.

Turning around and seeing Mavis sleeping on the same bed as me I gently go towards her giving a small kiss on the forehead, "Come on sweetie. Time to wake up and get ready for the day?"

"Ugh…"

She starts to slowly open her eyes as she rubs them wiping away anything she had on before yawning fully getting ready for the day, "Ahhh… We really should've slept in a bit more. I'm feeling sleepy Rou…"

Smirking at her usual antics using Requip to change my clothing right away along with Mavis into her own stretching her limbs, "Hmmm…. We have the big day today Rou! But how exactly are we going to about entering Crocus though?"

Listening to her words I pondered on how to do it before I shrug with a simple plan of completing our quest, "Err… disguise and rush inside the Castle by going underground then plan ahead going upward. No matter what we do we're bound to cause some disturbance so better to have a disguise at the ready."

Mavis thinks about my plan before she ultimately reluctantly agrees with my plan much to her dismay pouting, "Yeah… that sounds about right. No matter what we say the King probably won't listen or his court. Better to do this directly since that man didn't destroy it according to what my future self said. Ultimately though this would rely on you to get near Eclipse Gate."

Yup.

That thing is going to be a major pain in the ass.

That thing will drain me of all my magic, and I studied what material I'm working with as well as knowing how to properly destroy it.

Then again though I would get to see a bunch of dead dragon bones that I can collect for myself and study at my leisure. Along with finding a powerful staff in the process to analyze or better yet weaponize it.

Next, I hear Mavis speak to me in an indifferent tone regarding the infiltration of the Crocus Castle, "But we need the layout of the plan and castle. We are fortunate that my future self-gave, us the schematics of the area to work with. No matter what we need to destroy the Eclipse Gate no matter what."

Smiling at that getting ready to leave for the day using the train to cross this town to Crocus to get the full grasp of learning about the place, "Right. Just leave everything to me. Before that, we need to ensure a plan of attack by studying their habit patterns."

Mavis smiles at this with her eyes shining with a hint of adventurous spirit in them speaking confidently, "Heck yeah! I'll do the lookout planning to find out any habits they have that can be exploited oh… I feel like a spy infiltrating a dangerous mission like in your rough draft of Spy X Family. What a fun new experience!! Now we only need a telepathic daughter to be named Anya and I become a deadly assassin to be complete!!!"

Sigh…

She's certainly the overactive bundle of joy alright – Wait…

Did she break into my writing room again?!

Giving Mavis a raised eyebrow at that she sweated and turned around like this conversation never happened. I'll be sure to make electric locks, mouse traps, and the Nokia safe the very next time she tries to break into my perjury of literature books from my world.

But with her making plans, we can adjust everything needed as well as learn the normal habit patterns of the Rune Knights as well as figure out the right path needed to infiltrate the Castle… you know what?

I'm actually somewhat excited about the idea of acting like a spy of sorts. Maybe creating artificial spider golems like that spider check from Soul Eater would do the trick quite nicely.

I guess I could count this as being a terrorist in this world now like my old one for about 6 hours.

Hehehe…

And I have the perfect identity for my villain persona the Crimson Fucker the villain that likes to fuck with people. Or maybe I'm trying too hard…

Could try the carrier Pidgeon method…

/////

Exiting our hotel room and paying for our stay we both began to go outside the hotel going towards the Era Train Station to pay for another pair of tickets…

At least that was the original goal before we see a platoon of Rune Knights and Frog people guarding what seems to be two members of the Magic Council waving their hands as the common people wave at them back.

Must have perks having a seat in their stick up their asses.

Observing the two more closely… oh?

Isn't that Jellal and Ultear?

Right…

I forgot in this time they are working under the Magic Council under orders to collect keys or information to use the Magic Council equivalent of an orbital attack.

What was it called again….

Oh, right it was called Etherion.

The Satellite Square: Etherion, best known as Etherion, is an extremely powerful Magic Weapon controlled by the Magic Council.

Etherion once successfully prepared, fires an extremely large, destructive beam of Magic upon the desired location said Magic contains Fire Magic, among other elements, that completely obliterates the target area, leaving only dust behind.

Its energy is strong enough to reduce matter down to its smallest components. The Etherion can be deployed on any part of the world's map in the form of magic circles which is called the Satellite Square.

Choosing to ignore the group for the time being we both began to leave the area heading towards the Era Train Station preparing for our departure as soon as possible.

Getting ahold of Mavis's hand I took the lead yawning still feeling groggy in the morning of our destination, "Come on Mavis we have to hurry and get to the next –"

*BOOM*

"Ah!! Run!"

"Quick getaway!"

"It's a Dark Guild attack!!"

We both paused after seeing a Magic Blast attack of Magic Blast which was blocked by the two Council Members as the sudden appearance of a group of Wizards coming straight for the two with malicious intent.

"Quick grab those two!"

"We have our contracts boys!"

"Heheh! Easy money to me!"

"Let's go boys!"

Sigh….

I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed by this sudden attack but realistically though something that every Council Member has assassination attacks or kidnappings like this happen.

Cracking my neck looks like I have the civil duties I have to take care of since I'm still technically a Wizard of the Fairy Tail Guild and can't let actions like this go unnoticed.

Not by justice but literal duties I have to do since I'm a Wizard if I see any criminal activities or actual misconduct of the eyes of the law, we have to take actions necessary what charges the criminal is doing.

As I was preparing myself Mavis sighs at this but also prepares to see a group of Wizards after us stretching her arms, "Sigh… Guess there are just some things that won't change. Even when people are just trying to live their lives and then there are these kinds of people."

Yup.

*WOOOSH*

Like that, we simply released our Magic Power in the form of intimidation as the group that tried to attack the two Council Members paused in place as Jellal and Ultear did a spit take looking in our direction releasing our Magic Power.

Have to admit Magic Power intimidations like this have their perks making weaker foes stand down instantly as they stopped in place.

That is their mistake.

*Shiii*

Using Telekinesis Magic, we immobilized them in place as I threw my cards at the group capturing them in place with the spell of Magic Card Spell Card Conversion trapping them inside the cards effectively capturing them in place.

*Shiii*

"What!"

*Shiii*

"Aw hell –"

*Shiii*

"We weren't told –"

*Shiii*

"Damn it run—"

*Shiii*

"Quick run—"

Like that, the group that tried to attack the two was easily captured turning into cards trapped inside I went ahead to collect them as Mavis directs the Rune Knights, "We apologize to interfere with your work Rune Knights. But we of Legal Wizard Guilds can't let such conduct go by doing anything as per the rules. Now would you like to capture the group?"

One of the Rune Knights finally acted helping out by collecting the cards with the captured rogue Wizards and giving them to the proper authorities as I spoke to one of them, "The Magic Card effects will end by the end of the day. They won't be much of an issue good sir."

The Rune Knight I spoke to saluted and thanked me for my help as Jellal and Ultear approached the both of us 'thanking' us for the assistance starting with Jellal speaking, "I have to say you two have my thanks for assisting us capturing these troublesome group. To whom do we thank for the help."

Smirking with a smug grin on my face Mavis merely replied with a light bow as we took our leave, "Oh we're just Fairy Tail Wizards Council Members. Hope you have a good day sir now if you excuse us."

Like that, we left the area as everyone seem to be frozen, on the spot some even making spit takes looking around immediately at the homes or any destruction pieces of rubble much to their dismay or disbelief of no towns in danger.

Hahaha!

I guess we're that bad with property damage huh?

Too bad we're just a cut above the rest.
