"Is this the weapon he used?" Levy asked with a worried look in her eyes.

"Yeah…that's it." Gajeel said quietly.

Levy visibly gulped. "We need to tell Master. Now."

XxXxX

Master sat at his desk with his eyes closed and began to rub his temples. He let out a long sigh. To say he was stressed out, would be an understatement. He glanced up and looked at his children. Erza was to his right, standing straight with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Followed by Freed on his left clutching multiple books and papers that he acquired earlier. For once, Master was at a loss for words. After hearing what the rune mage revealed about the short time span, he went from concerned to extremely worried. Whoever is behind this is truly coming after one of his own and that, is definitely not okay.

Before Master could even think of something to say, frantic knocking pounded outside his office door. Without responding, the door was thrown open by a rather serious iron dragon slayer.

"Gajeel!" Levy scolded with a frown on her face.

"We don't have time for this Shrimp." He replied gruffly as he pulled her in with him up to the desk.

"What have you found?" Master asked calmly.

Everyone could feel the atmosphere in the room become thick with tension.

Levy gulped as all eyes turned to her.

"Well, as I was researching downstairs Gajeel told me about his altercation earlier and, if I am correct," Levy paused as she laid down the old book on top of the desk. She pointed to the weapon depicted on the page. "They have possession of this."

Master's eyes widened, shock and disbelief visible on his face. He looked up at Gajeel and asked him with a grave tone, "Are you absolutely positive that this is the weapon they used?"

Gajeel nodded in response then proceeded to take a seat towards the back of the room.

Freed and Erza had leaned over to get a better look at what was on the page.

The rune mage let out a gasp. "I thought it was only a myth…" He whispered out, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"What exactly is this weapon?" Erza asked. She knew a lot about swords and other weapons but she had never seen anything like this.

"It's a cursed sword, hundreds of years old." Levy started. "It is believed to have been used by a nefarious wizard that went by the name 'Vipera'. He was mentally unstable and extremely power hungry. Apparently, he crafted this sword and murdered his own family with it as a sacrifice to this mad demon that he worshiped. Although, people reported that the demon he had called forth had multiple heads- not of a human but that of serpents. That's where he got the name 'Vipera', as in viper or snake, after his master. His real name was Lucero of house Petra, a noble's son." She paused to take a breath before continuing. "Anyways, he basically sold his soul and in return to do the demon's bidding his sword was infused with dark power. But, with that kind of power comes a price. His mind began to warp to the point where he couldn't tell what reality was. He disguised himself in the most bizarre outfits claiming to be an entertainer and putting on ridiculous shows then at the end he would massacre the town. Many wizards tried to stop him but it wasn't until he showed up at royal court and attempted to murder Princess Adela that he was stopped. His Uncle Takahiro, the King's right hand and a powerful enough to be a wizard saint, used a spell called Dawn's Wrath and blinded his nephew as well as trapping him in a vortex of purifying light. Vipera was all out of moves so instead of being taken away and executed, he killed himself with the sword. It's said that his dark soul fused with the sword giving it the deathly green aura and never ending dripping blood from the tip." Levy finished.

"Takahiro had performed a ritual with two others and sealed away the sword so that no one could use it ever again. It's been so long that the sword was deemed a myth since it was never found." Freed added in.

The room was soundless as everyone digested the new information.

"So you're saying that Vipera's sword, that hasn't been seen or heard of in centuries, is in the hands of the same people who cursed Natsu?" Erza asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I believe so." Levy stated in a low voice.

Master had both hands on his head, the gravity of the situation became almost suffocating.

Everyone seemed to be at a loss for words as they all looked to Master for some sort of answer or solution. Things had gone from bad to worse to completely horrible, and they only seem to be continuing downhill.

"Master what should we-" Levy started but trailed off as Master raised a hand to stop her.

"Magic Council. We need to inform the Magic Council. I need a communication lacrima." He said.

Without missing a beat, Erza left the room to get a lacrima.

"Levy, is Jet in the guild still?" Master questioned the blunette.

"Yes, he is downstairs with Droy." She answered but had a look of confusion on her face. "Why?"

"Good, please send him up here. I need him to run to Porlyusica's."

She nodded not asking anymore questions and quickly left to retrieve her teammate.

"Master, I understand why you want to inform the council but why do we need Porlyusica's assistance?" Freed asked, clearly not following Master's logic.

"She's a very experienced healer and has seen a number of things in her life time. You said that there was a time limit for Natsu, but so far no known cure. Porlyusica may have some insight." Master simply stated. "However, until we hear from Porlyusica, I would like you to continuing researching. We don't want too much word to spread about Natsu's condition but it would be best to use all resources we can. That being said, contact Blue Pegasus. Master Bob can be trusted and the mage in his guild, Hibiki Lates, uses Archive magic. See if you can work with him and hopefully come up with a solution." Master finished.

"I will contact Blue Pegasus right away then." Freed said, determined before leaving the room.

"Gajeel." Master called out, eyes landing on the stoic dragon slayer.

Gajeel stood up straight and crossed his arms in front of his chest, giving his full attention to Master.

"Erza had mentioned that there were runes outside of Natsu's house engraved on the ground, correct?" Master stated, but asked Gajeel to clarify.

"Yea, why?" Gajeel responded seemingly uninterested.

"With Freed working trying to find a cure, I would like Levy to take a look at those runes." Master said.

Gajeel's face hardened and his body visibly stiffened at the mention of the petite blunette.

"I'll go with her." He said without a second thought. There was no way in hell he was going to let her go alone.

"Good, then there is no need for me to ask you. I want you two to be careful though in case the man who had attacked you shows up again. Try not to drag too much attention to yourselves. Although," Master paused as he glanced at the time. "It's pretty late and there will be no light for visibility by the time you get there to fully see everything. Leave first thing in the morning."

Gajeel agreed but before he could leave Jet dashed in almost crashing into the dark haired male.

"Oi! Watch it carrot—"

Gajeel stopped when he felt a small hand on his arm. His harsh scowl and deep red eyes met light brown.

Levy quickly apologized and dragged Gajeel outside. They passed by Erza on their way out of the room as she was heading in.

"I have a communication lacrima, Master." Erza stated as she brought him the little orb.

"Thank you Erza." He said as he turned his attention to the high speed mage. "Jet, take these papers as fast as you can to Porlyusica and have her contact me."

"Of course Master." Jet said as he took the stack of papers and sped out of the guild.

Erza stood silently as the Master contacted the Magic Council. A regular amphibian employee answered.

"Magic Council informant, how can I assist you?" The odd green creature asked.

"Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov Dreyar requesting to speak to the Chairman."

"I apologize but the Chairman is not here at the moment." He replied, monotone.

"Then may I speak to the 2nd seat?" Makarov asked patiently.

"2nd seat, Org, is currently not here—"

"Is that Master of Fairy Tail?" A familiar voice asked in the background.

"Yes, it is." The employee answered.

"Allow me," the voice replied before two new faces appeared through the lacrima. One had long black hair, tied back with purple colored eyes and glasses while the other had short dark blue hair and a scar on his face. Lahar and Doranbolt.

"Hello Master Makarov, what can we help you with?" Doranbolt asked.

Master relayed the information concerning the Vipera's sword, when he was finished both men looked at Makarov as if he grew a second head.

"You…You're saying that the ancient sword of Vipera is real and is in the hands of a some dark wizard?" Lahar sighed, "Do you honestly expect me to believe this?"

Doranbolt however remained silent.

"This is a serious matter." Master said as he clenched his teeth. They were doubting not only him but, his children. Even Erza attempted to convince the council man.

"I have heard enough of this nonsense." Lahar said as he reached over to cut the connection.

"Wait!" Doranbolt shouted as he grabbed Lahar arms, stopping him from hanging up.

"It is our duty as members of the Magic Council to help. Fairy Tail has helped us more than once. We owe it to at least look into these claims." He said face serious, he then turned his attention back to Makarov. "I'll be on my way to investigate."

And with that the connection ended.

End chapter. Whew. I'm cutting it off right there! Not too sure how I feel about it though…Now for the really long A/N

SIDE NOTE: I do not know when I will update next. I try to write when I have extra time. BUT I do have a Gale one-shot almost complete and a Gruvia one in the works. They get posted in my other story on my page. Basically those are written to hopefully practice and make me a better writer.

Anyways, thanks for reading/following/favoriting!

Review Responses Ch 10:

The assassin protector: Eep! Thank you! :D I am so glad that you are!

Anonymous Person: Anon! O.0 Lol I have seen mainly Lucy getting turned small too. Ahhh, welllll…Others have mentioned about Gajeel regressing and I'm not too sure. I think that would be hilarious though. A tiny Natsu versus a tiny Gajeel! Haha, Jenga gets intense they even came out with a Jenga Quake? Basically while stacking the blocks the tower will randomly shake like a mini earthquake. I'm not going to lie I kinda want to play it…

Rose Tiger: Hello again! :D Thank you! I shall continue!

Kayani433: UPDATE IS HERE! :)

Fanficlove2014: I love little Natsu too! He's just so precious in general. Lmao Jenga is not a game, it is war!

Littlerena: Indeed, lol after all it is Natsu and Gray

TokyoTeddyWolf: You're amazing, you know that? I love that you love this story and that you draw fanart. Like seriously you don't know how much that means to me! Both are absolutely ADORABLE and YOSH A DRAGON! Gihi. I love them all and they really made my day so THANK YOU *Throws confetti in the air and gives a strawberry cake* "I'D LOVE TO STAY BUT ERZA'S GOING TO KILL ME!" *Runs away as a red haired demon burst through the door*

l1: Yeaaaah, little Natsu is cute but I would miss big Natsu. Poor Lucy… Thanks for reviewing!

Response to previous A/N: Honestly I did not expect anyone to respond to my A/N but they all made my day so I have typed up responses via cell phone. Sorry for mistakes!

MissNerdGirl: Ah! Thank you! When you said bus I thought of the movie Mean Girls when Regina George gets hit…Ha, little extreme but I appreciate it :)

RANTPEPTALK: Thank you! :D I agree, majority of anime is not realistic. (Especially those with magic) Ahh! I love that you liked it and reviewed BUT you must write your essay! Erza knows all…be careful.

l1: Hello again, I guess I could've put this with the other response…Whoops. Anyways, thank you. Seriously. I know I'm not the best writer and I don't claim to be by all means because I am still learning ya know? And the support and comments, like yours, have been so encouraging. So really, thank you.

Gerson: You are 100% correct, I can't please everyone. But, I will do my best to continue on for those who do enjoy my story. Thank you for reviewing again!

Jennosaur: I love that you love it! Gihi. My A/N's are so weird… Yes, I have seen other stories with FT members becoming little again but usually I see it with Lucy or they turn little but have their memory. I'm more than positive there are others similar to mine though, but I am glad you enjoy it! Ahh, the improper grammar! I've seen some gnarly ones. I try my best to make it easy to read. I get comma crazy though. Yes, the antagonists will be making their appearances soon. They will be OC. I find psychology fascinating. I just have a difficult time incorporating it how I want, if that makes any sense. Lol I love criticism when it is constructive. Please feel free to give your input or correct me on something when I am wrong. Thank you for your lovely review! :D

Dragonloverpower: I agree, I think that magic has no limits and FT has shown some insane magic as well as other animes. If this was an AU in our time then it would obviously be different. Anyway, thank you for your kind words, I don't plan on giving up. :)

Lily: I am happy that you love it! Your update is here!

Kat The Neeko: I was just about to save and post when my phone went ding! I agree, even though he was giving me his honest opinion I think he could've handled it better. There is a difference between constructive criticism and just being mean and in this case it wasn't constructive. I am so happy that you love my work! Thank you for reviewing! (Nyyaa?)

For all those who have reviewed I cannot say thank you enough! I probably sound like a broken record but hearing back from all of you really made my day a thousand times better. I hope you liked this chapter and I will see you all amazing people next time!
