Fairy Tail: The Element

Chapter 49: Something Real

"What's going on here?" Neos questioned.

He said looking at his guildmates along with Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy.

"I'm sure you have heard, of my prison break that is." Jellal said as he walked up to Neos trying to show that he meant no harm.

"Yeah, I've heard a few things about it. Don't really care about it." Neos said and looked over at Ultear and Meredy, Ultear had a look that said she wanted to discuss something with him. Jellal then went on to explain how they had come to ask for help to locate a mysterious magic energy related to Zeref that had been sensed around the time of the games. In return for doing this, they have offered to help Natsu and the others unlock their second origin, a reserve for magic power if you will. And of course, how Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy have formed an independent guild known as Crime Sorciere that has been taking down Dark guilds in their quest to find Zeref. And nervously Lucy explained how they wasted their three months by going to the Celestial Spirit world where one day equals three months in the human world. "I see, well that is complicated... very well I will also help, I have a few words for Zeref anyway so anything that can help me find him is something worth checking."

They were somewhat taken aback by his choice of words but they decided not to poke further, since it wasn't apart of their business.

"Thank you, and... thank you for stopping me, back at the Tower of Heaven." Jellal bowed his head down in gratitude.

"I didn't stop you, I failed to kill you. After you kill Simon, hurting both Erza and Kagura." Neos said as they felt mixed feelings about it.

"No, I was the one who-" Jellal couldn't finish his sentence as Ultear interrupted him.

"I was the one controlling Jellal back then, whatever he did wrong falls onto me, including the death of this Simon." Ultear said with a look of grief.

"I see." Neos said.

"Anyway, let's begin. Do you want me to do the same for you by the way?" Ultear asked as she readied her crystal ball.

"Interesting, hold on a second let me get the others. So, go ahead." Neos said cutting the air as a rift opened up as he poked his head through it.

They all look at the cracked blade that he used as he pull his head back then come Erza, Wendy, and Mana. The three mages from Crime Sorciere can only look in shock seeing Neos so casually using a demonic blade.

Jellal couldn't help but stare at Erza seeing her for the first time in seven years, Erza couldn't help but to also stare back at him.

"Ahem!" Neos said snapping them out of their thought as both mages turned away somewhat embarrassed. 

"That blade... how did you?" Ultear said looking at Neos.

"I projected it." He speaks casually like cutting a hole in the fabric of space and time isn't a big deal.

"Do you know how dangerous that blade is!? It said that the Yamato can-"

"open the gates between different dimensions. I know." Ultear was yelling at him only to be cut off by Neos.

"Give me the Yamato. A weapon that dangerous should never be use so freely." Ultear said getting into a stand. "Listen Neos, I don't want to argue with you on this. But you shouldn't keep that blade."

"If you want it, then you have to take it." Neos projected Yamato holding the blade in his hand. "But you already know that."

"Hey, hold on a second. You two shouldn't fight." Erza ran up trying to stop both of them.

"Yeah, Ultear we're here to help them unlock their Second Origin. Not to fight them." Meredy said also trying to calm those two down.

"I guess you're right." Ultear said as the large orb in her hand glowed red. "Here."
