Chapter 28 - 6 Month Quest

After Axel reached home Ultear was still in meeting with the Council. After another 20 minutes, she came downstairs. Ur and Meredy were also interested in what happened in the meeting but Axel was waiting for Ultear to join them. Ultear came down and let out a big sigh.

Axel: What happened?

Ultear: Nothing much, after you left we just discussed how to deal with the matter of the deaths.

Axel: So they didn't decide to attack Fairy Tail behind my back??

Ultear: No, they don't have enough support to do that. Only Org and Crawford were the ones who wanted to attack Fairy Tail and the rest of us voted against that.

Axel: So have they figured out our relation?

Ultear: No they didn't.

Ur: It was good that I used a fake identity to register everywhere.

Axel: Yes, we can't have them thinking that I can revive dead peoples.

After that Axel told them what happened with Lahar and then what he did in the Council. One thing Axel noticed that Erza didn't react in the slightest in the mention of Seigran and Ultear has already told Erza about how she was manipulating Jellal. At first, Erza was enraged but she forgave Ultear before they went to the training trip.

Meredy: So you declared war on the Magic Council?

Axel: No, it won't be a war, it will be a slaughter fest.

Ultear: Don't worry they are really cowards, do you really think that they would go against someone who can easily kill them?

Ur: I already knew about them being cowards.

Axel: Ultear have you found out who is controlling Jellal now?

Ultear: I don't know, I don't know who or she is but the magic is on a different level than mine?

Erza: What do you mean by that?? Magic power or the spell they are using?

Ultear: Both! It seems the Magic was made to control and order someone, I have never seen any magic like that.

Ultear: The Baram Alliance.

Ur: Uhmmm… I don't know anything about that.

Axel: Don't worry Ultear will explain everything to you.

Erza: Don't you think we should save him?

Axel: Yes we should but I also need to know the identity of the one controlling him.

Erza: I just hope that it doesn't gets too late.

Axel: Don't worry everything will be fine. Girls I am very hungry let's get some dinner.

After that Ur prepares some dinner for all of them while Axel was helping her. After dinner, Ur and Ultear went to their respective rooms and Axel and Erza went to their room.

The next day Axel woke up and went to the nearby forest to train his magic. He still was unable to fully control of the spells he learned from Ultear about the Arc of Time. He would blindly agree that this was the hardest magic he ever tried. The rest of the day was pretty much normal for him and the girls. He lazed around the rest of the day by the beach.

Axel woke up early that day since he had his date with both Mira and Cana. Axel got freshened up and wore normal clothes instead of his usual armor. Mira, Cana, and Axel had decided to meet in front of the fountain yesterday. After getting ready Axel went downstairs and saw that Ur was only there.

Ur: My... My… you are looking really handsome.

Axel: Come here…

After that Axel pulled her closer and gave her a peck on the lips.

Axel: So where are Erza and Ultear?

Ur: They went out to train, they don't want to be a burden to you. I also wanted to go with them but I stayed since I wanted to make you some breakfast.

Axel: I can cook myself you know.

Ur: But if I did that how could I have got to spend some time with you like this.

Axel: Ok point taken but you see I need to leave but who said that you won't get a small reward.

Axel: Bye darling, take care.

Ur: You too, have a nice date.

After that Axel walked out of his house towards the fountain, he was still 2 hours early so he decided to check the guild since he didn't do that for 2 days. He also needed to look for a nice mission like the last one. He opened the guild doors and entered. It was like usual brawl happening here and there, Elfman was shouting about being a man, Natsu and Gray were beating the shit out of each other. Lucy was standing by a corner.

Axel then started looking for Cana or Mira and both of them were missing meaning they were getting ready for the date. Nobody noticed Axel and he swiftly made his way upstairs. The guild was quite messed up and the credits go to Gajeel. They decided to make a new guild building after they would demolish this one. Axel was quietly checking all the S-class missions. He needed to choose one according to his choices. He found a mission about escorting a group of scientists, it was a 6 months quest and it has a reward of 50 million jewels. This mission interested him so he tore it off the wall.

Makarov: Heard about the stunt you pulled in the Council.

Axel: Master, I guess then you didn't like it.

Makarov: Who said that? The only regret I have that I wasn't present there. I would give anything to see their faces.

Axel: Don't worry master, this was just the start. I will take you next time with me, here Master check this mission. (Hands the pamphlet to Makarov)

Makarov: This is a very dangerous mission kid, that place is filled with all kinds of S-class monsters.
