Jack's Choice

The people of Fairy Tail were in a panic when someone went in to check on Jack when he wasn't there any longer. Making the whole guild search for him the whole city worried someone kidnapped him or worse killed him in his weak state after making enemies with a God and killing Acnologia.

The people in the council, on the other hand, were discussing what to do with a man that not only killed the Black Dragon known as Acnologia but massacred it after reading the reports.

At the same time in Alvarez, some members of the 12 Spriggan were together to discuss what to do after hearing what happened.

"Have you heard what happened on Tenrou Island," says a red-haired woman.

"Yes, I heard about it. A man in Fiore killed Acnologia as if nothing if our spies in Fiore reported correctly," says an old man that was sitting on a chair.

"Should we try to recruit him?" asks a man with a skull on his forehead.

"We could try but are you ready to take the risk of dying if he gets angry," says another member when everyone sighs.

"Do we know something about our Emperor. He was watching over Tenrou Island and many mysterious things happened there one after the other and that man was in the middle of everything," says another member.

"I know what you mean. It is said that a storm appears when the man is about to start a fight. Like heaven itself is angry. It can be probable that our Emperor was caught up by that man too. We should send people to investigate," says the red-haired woman.

"I already sent two people there. They will return once they know more about it. For now, we will put all on hold. We can't mess with Fiore if we don't know if that man is dead or alive," says the old man.

"I can go there and be back in three days and report if he is still alive or dead," says the redhead as she stands up.

"Just be careful and don't get caught," says the old man as the redhead leaves the room with her two servants.

Back in Magnolia, the streets were in chaos with every Fairy looking for Jack and not finding him. Being now desperate Makarov asked for help from his allied guilds to look for Jack who disappeared as if the air swallowed him.

In Shura's throne room, Shura was overlooking some documents when Alfred appears behind him and says, "He is in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

"Good," says Shura as he was reading a document that made him flinch.

"Your son going rampage in hell?" asks Alfred as he sees Shura flinch.

"Yes, he does always the same after dying always looking for revenge for his mother. But that has nothing to do with this. Didn't I tell you to teach him," says Shura as he looks at Alfred's direction.

"I have a question if you permit it," says Alfred.

"And that is?" asks Shura.

"Why did you say punishment when you are clearly rewarding him for going against you?" asks Alfred making Shura smile.

"He awakened his bloodline but he didn't master it completely or he could have turned into a King Kong and fought Acnologia like that and now he got a new one that is now sleeping inside him. He needs time to master both that's why I rewarded him in disguise. I can't let the others think that I went soft because I like that kid," says Shura as he stands up and touches Alfred's shoulder while saying, "You, your wife and my wives are the only people I trust and know me the best. That's why I let you become his master."

Shura passes Alfred and like a window into the Time Chamber opened and he could see some pieces of what Jack was doing and says, "He was reckless to protect his people. He almost killed himself like his Predecessors. That's why I tested him and will test him again when he leaves the chamber when I offer him the stone. I know that you gave him a tip but this time hold yourself out of it."

He closes the window as he says, "He is the Rebel the one that stood over almost everyone but was under only 20 people now with the bloodline of the True Lord he stands above everyone but under only us. He has to make his own decisions if he wants to be accepted once he enters the cycle."

"Yes, master. I will keep that in mind. I should return to him," says Alfred as he is ready to leave.

"Do so," says Shura as Alfred left and he sits back on his throne looking over the report his grandson Lucifer(Not the same Lucifer from DC) send him about his son and says out loud with a smile, "Bartholomew Spades d'Arc you really are killing your father."

The day passes and the white door opens again with Jack having a beard that reached his chest while his hair was in a knot made with his staff that was in a tiny form so his hair would only reach to his back. He has grown a little bit more reaching 2,5m from his previous 2,1m. His clothes were almost destroyed because he wasn't allowed to use his armor while being there and his spear was on his back.

Panther Lily looked more unkempt looking like a stray cat that only knows how to survive on the streets never knowing love and says complaining, "Why have I become your partner."

"Tell that to your former King he made me your partner," says Jack as he looks around the room and says, "It's too peaceful don't you think so."

"Yes, do you still have some Leviathan meat. Those snakes really tasted good," says Panther Lily.

"No, but I still have some of the White Tiger meat as well as some of the Azure Dragon," says Jack.

"Nevermind then," says Panther Lily as he couldn't see any meat of an Azure Dragon or White Tiger since that was their usual meal in the Time Chamber.

"How about some Phoenix Eggs or Golden Crow's wings," says Jack as he takes them out making Panther Lily drool seeing them.

"Maybe later," says Panther Lily as he takes the wings and puts them in his ring as he says, "Maybe the guild is looking for you. You disappeared out of nowhere after all."

"Right," says Jack as he walks and wants to open the door when he suddenly has the knob in his hand and says, "Damn. It seems I made a mistake with how much strength was needed to open it."

"Let me then," says Panther Lily as he dropkicks the door and sends it flying through the hall.

What they didn't know is the moment they returned they never retracted their aura making everyone in the guild feel their pressure.

They take their steps through the door and find people fighting with themselves not falling unconscious from the pressure they were feeling. The normal members were already in their dream world while the stronger ones were fighting against it.

"Fuck we forgot about that," says Jack as they turn their aura off making the people that were still conscious breath again.

"We are sorry about this. Surviving for yen years around monsters makes it a habit to have your aura ready at any moment," says Jack explaining why his aura was up.

"And you are?" asks Mirajane not recognizing Jack or Panther Lily.

"It's me, Jack," says Jack as Mirajane gives him a look that said 'Who do you want to fool.' making Jack rip his shirt apart showing his chest and points at the Fairy Tail mark on his chest saying, "See only I have a Dark Red Fairy on my chest."

Mirajane opens her eyes wide as well as some other member as they see the hobo Jack and Panther Lily when Mirajane says angry, "Where were you? Everyone was worried about you when you disappeared yesterday out of nowhere."

"Someone wanted to talk to me about something and invited me somewhere and healed me as you can see," says Jack with a smile as he sits down on a stool and breaks it falling on the ground making a little hole in it and says, "Sorry."

"You will pay for that right," says Mirajane with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Yes," says Jack as he was crying because of his hard-earned Jewels being wasted this way.

The room turned dark and he found himself in Shura's throne room and says, "What now."

"You remember what I told you ten years ago. Here is the last stone of the six infinity stones. Remember that you have a choice to make. Here is it," says Shura as the Stone begins to float and Earth Land appears beside it.

"To get the stone you need to give up something that is important to you. I see that you found a liking to some people of Earth Land. So you have to choose," says Shura as the atmosphere turned dark as Shura says, "The Stone for Earth Land destruction."

Jack opened his eyes wide shocked at first before beginning to laugh and says, "Keep the Stone. I don't need a stone if I have to kill people that are important to me. Can you send me back?"

"I told you," says Shura but from another side of the room. As the Shura in front of Jack turned into Alfred.

"You were right," says Alfred.

"I'm always right," says Shura as he snaps and Jack's armor appears. Shura opens the chest piece and inserts the last stone while saying, "The next time you put the armor on you will feel pain since your body will need to accustomizes itself to it."

"Now go little Rebel and True Lord. From today on you can return to your world by opening a portal. Be warned many things have changed in six years you left," says Shura as he opens a hole in the ground as Jack begins to be sent back to Earth Land.

"Six years didn't you say only Five years," says Jack confused.

"I had to make it later because of something that happened. One thing never use all six stone at the same time or you will die being the Rebel or not," says Shura as Jack was completely swallowed by the hole and he appears back in the hall on the ground as if nothing ever happened.

"You alright? It seemed you blanked out for a moment," says Mirajane as she was worried about Jack blanking out.

"Yes, everything is fine," says Jack as he stands up and sits down carefully on another stool when the master returns and sees Jack but doesn't recognize him.

"Still no clue where he could be," says Makarov as he sees almost everyone lying around unconscious on the ground.

"Well, you don't need to look for him any longer. Our lost member is back," says Mirajane as she points at Jack.

"Hello old man it's been a while," says Jack making the old man have some tears in his eyes as he hugs Jack.

"Don't ever do that again leaving without warning," says Makarov scolding Jack as he turns to Mirajane and says, "I need to inform the other. I will be right back."

"I will try my best not to do that again old man but I will need a barber for me and my little friend here," says Jack as he points at Panther Lily

"Just let one of the girls cut your hair it will save you some money," says Makarov as he leaves.

"You heard the old man," says Jack to Panther Lily.

"I'm fine with that," says Panther Lily as he sits beside Jack and both look at Mirajane.

"Let's wait for Lucy. She is the perfect person for this job," says Mirajane as she smiles at Jack and Panther Lily.

"We can wait," says Jack as he and Panther Lily begin to drink something waiting for the other.
