Fairy 30.2: Nightfall and Old Zack

Nightfall, that once called Chaos Ruler, was happy to be reawakened from its long slumber. But it has no clue how much time had pass. But hearing it was X782, it has become confused.

That is because, there were no such thing as 'X' in the date. In fact, Nightfall knew the date was in the thousands before he was sealed away. However, no matter how much this sword thinks about it, he just cannot come up with the answer how long he actually been asleep for.

Knowing no point dwelling in the past. Nightfall put those meaningless questions away in the back of his non-existent head. And enjoy its current life, with his new Master, Zack Smasher.

When it comes to Zack, Nightfall cannot help to think this boy or teenager, is missing a lot of things. He seems mature at times, but also immature. But in the end, he is an interesting master, who is very innocent, or so Nightfall thought, or that what Nightfall thought, until he saw his dream.

In order to use the God Slayer Magic that dwelled in each one of them. The Devil Arms must form a link between their master, and themselves. With this link, they can use God Slayer Magic. Or least transformed their own magic systems into God Slayer Magics.

However, that isn't all this link could do. Through this link, the ego of the Devil Arms could communicate with their master, and if they want to. Nightfall and the other Devil Arms could enter the dreams of their masters.

All Devil Arms do this, so they could know their masters better. After all, when it comes to dreams, there barely anything you could hide from them. That is why Nightfall and the other Devil Arms peek in their masters' dream, all they could understand their new masters better.

But Nightfall never once in his life, experienced or even expected. As soon he went inside Zack's dream, the first thing he saw, was a world with towering buildings. Box like metal creations with people in them, as they pass Nightfall with a roaring sound within them.

There were even strange looking creations like funny looking metal dragons in the sky. And even a bug-like metal creation that hovers over the sky as well.

Nightfall felt like he was in a different world. And each thing that he has seen stimulates Nightfall's curiosity.

However, before this ego greatsword could adventure out in Zack's world of dreams. He felt someone or something staring at him. Knowing it properly his new master, that spotted Nightfall in his dream, Nightfall turned to meet Zack, however the moment Nightfall did turned around, not once, did he expect to see someone else besides his master in this place.

Sky blue eyes, that gazes at Nightfall with full of both hostie and curiosity. And long blonde like gold hair, that tied in a ponytail. This young man seems like the perfect imagine of your prince charming, and yet. There is this devious and chilling aura around this young man in his 20s or maybe 30s, it is hard to tell, with his natural handsome looks.

"Hmm… counting today's memories… I say you must Nightfall, right?" The young man with a sly smile.

"You're wrong, it's Chaos Ruler…! Both you and Master, why are you keep calling me that!" Nightfall went.

"Chaos Ruler, or whatever you are called, I supposed it doesn't matter, does it?" Went the young man with his sly smile.

"It does matter! My creator, the First God Slayer given me this name!" Nightfall, and feel insulted of someone insulting his proud name, that his creator had given him.

"First God Slayer… something that never mention in the canon… sounds very fanfic-like… and yet, isn't Zack's life just like that. Oh, could you please keep this a secret from the outside me?" Went the young man, with perfect manners like a nobleman, but his gaze still like those, that looking at their prey.

Even if the young man asked nicely, Nightfall had a feeling he will do anything to keep Nightfall's ego inside this dream, no matter the means. If this blond-haired man had to.

However, Nightfall just overlooks that, and focus on the other matters, that truly shocked him.

"What you mean by… outside you…? Don't tell me… you are Zack? No, that should be impossible… you both have different auras around you two… could it be split personalities?"

Nightfall went in shock, as a Devil Arms, Nightfall could easily sense the auras of others. And from their auras, it is easy to tell what they are, and how many they are. And yet, it should be impossible for souls to have two auras.

However, there is a way for a soul to have more than one aura… and that is to either have another soul to become attached with another. Or… to have your soul itself to be split into either in halve, or several halves.

"Split personalities huh… you could say that we are, but at the same time, we're not that simple as split personality disorder. Anyway, let get to the matter at hand. Since you told me my name, I should introduce myself as well. However, I already thrown my old name away a long time ago. That's why, just addresses me as Old Zack instead." The young blond-haired man, or Old Zack went.

"Old Zack it is… I had many masters before. I say, this is the first time, I had one… this different. Anyway, what is this place…? And why are you split in two halves, Old Zack?"

Nightfall might be an ancient sword, that lived for god knows how many eras. However, that doesn't mean this sword knows everything about this world, or the dimensions that surrounds this world. That is why, Nightfall became excited, when he learnt there something this old sword didn't know about.

After all, the only source of entertainment for this sword, is no other then the masters they been with in their past.

"How about this, I too, I am interested in your past as well. That why, we don't we show each other pasts, of course, only if you agree on a condition of mine." The Old Zack went with a smile.

"Yet me guess… don't tell my Master?" Nightfall asked.

"That's right and… show me your memories… this really like a fanfic, something unrelated to the main anime and manga I had not seen. That's way I cannot stop my curiosity… of knowing a different past that told in Fairy Tail. Oh, I won't show you Fairy Tail, because it wouldn't fun otherwise."

When Old Zack said that. Nightfall became confused. After all, Nightfall has no clue what a fanfic is, nor what these anime and manga entities are as well. Not to mention, what does this Zack means, by now showing Fairy Tail?

Isn't that just the name of his new master's guild? In the end, Nightfall just treated those last words this Old Zack said, as hearsay. And turned his attention back to this young blond-haired man.

"Fine, I don't understand most of your terms. But I get the basics of it. And this Chaos Ruler, doesn't mind showing you this one's past. And I am curious about what you know as well." Nightfall went.

Like that, the ancient sword with an ego, and this entity known as Old Zack begin to show each other their pasts. Of course, Nightfall didn't have anything to hide, unlike this blond-haired young man.

Even so, Night begun to understand why this Old Zack… didn't allow his past to be known to outside Zack.

'This world… and Master's unknown past… I agree. As a tool, it doesn't matter who my Master is, as it is my duty to protect and fight alongside my Master… However, like promised, I will not mention or say anything what I had seen… I just hope you will be ready Master, when you learn who you, and…'

Nightfall thought, as he looked at the very 'door', that Zack once tried to enter, but was stopped by Old Zack had stopped Zack from entering.

'What will you do, once you learn that? Only time can tell… my innocent Master.'
