Fairy Tail X Age of Extinction (Book 1B)

Pieces of Fear

3rd P.O.V

After Ratchet's simple yet sudden request, it was completely silent again awaiting for his response...

Haru glances at Kagura who's seated beside him then back at the ground, "Honestly Ratchet~ *Stern tone-* ...I have no intentions of aligning with the Autobots, nor anyone..."

After his cold response, the atmosphere became tense. Everyone was surprised when he gave away his answer. How could he be so cold-hearted?

"...Woah..."

"...That's cruel man..."

"Ru..." Kagura trails off in confusion.

"Why...?" Ratchet inquires really confused.

Haru then gazes straight at the blazing fire before him, "...Since the beginning of your arrival here on Earth..." Haru pans to all the present Autobots as though he was staring at them, but he is.

"...Eclipse and I saw countless archived footages of N.E.S.T all around the world, hunting Decepticons..." He said that phrase which internally shocked them.

"You knew about that...?" Optimus counters in surprise.

"Indeed..."

"Then why did you not assist us before, despite being in a in a tight situation?" The Prime inquires as everybody kept the air silent.

"We were in stasis- Even if we were active, I simply refuse to intervene. During our stasis however, we were coincidentally absorbing informations and datas from human organizations around the world..."

Haru explains which made the Autobots terrified including the Texas Residents, "...Additionally, when I discovered that a traitorous Autobot, Sentinel Prime planned to transport Cybertron into Earth's atmosphere, that was when I realized that Earth is no longer a safe home anymore-"

Haru than gazes straight at the ground as he never told anyone Earth's darkest secret, not even Solis and Luna...

The moment he concluded, the Autobots were in deep thought about their life. Ever since they have arrived on Earth, all they ever did was battle. They might have won the battle, but they have lost the war. Not only Cybertron has suffered heavy losses, but Earth as well.

'He may hate them but... this is too much...'

Kagura stands up and turns to the Cybertronian Medic, "...Ratchet, give us some time. Let's go Ru..."

Nod... The Medic than nods in understanding as he is the only one who knows where the Earthland Wizards came from.

As she pulls onto Haru's hand gently, he was lead towards a boulder several meters away from the campfire. Kagura then leaps onto the rock along with Haru.

"Ru... what's wrong...?" Kagura inquires quietly because she realizes that something besides the consumption of Etherious' corpse is glooming over Haru, "...You've been different ever since I woke up..."

'I shouldn't have kept this from her... she needs to know too...'

Exhales-... Haru than takes a deep breath and explains it from the very beginning.

He began by sharing the time when he first heard about Alakitasia during the Grand Magic Games(GMG) between Master Makarov and Mest Gryder. Slowly, he himself started investigating alone despite never having the intention of telling anyone, including Kagura as it may cause danger to her given the tense air Makarov gave off, and the informative Mest Gryder.
