Time Moves When We Stay Still

Chapter 2 Heavens Gate

Natsu, Gray, Erza, Mira, Elfman and Cana all headed into the back. Running in two groups to find and defeat the Dark Guild, Dark Time, finding and defeating them will most likely be a lot harder than they intend but they know they'll pull through.

The first team to find someone was Gray, Cana and Elfman. A young boy sat in front of them blocking their path.
"Hey little guy, do you mind if we get past you?" Gray asked politely.
"I do mind." The boy answered sharply, "Onee-chan said if I do my best I can see more of the world, I havent seen any of it yet." He asked with an excited tone narrowing to a sad tone of voice. The aura the boy soon gave of was complete despair.
"Gray, I don't think he's any normal boy..." Cana said backing up a bit, turning on her heel she sees the little boy standing them.
"Why do you want to leave so soon?" The boy asked looking at the floor once again. Cana turned to look the other way and there we was again. Elfman turned too and saw another little boy, getting shocked he stepped back.
"This isn't normal right?" Elfman asked looking at the little boy before him intently.
"Its dark magic. I can tell, but I don't know what type" Gray said swiftly.
The boy shook his head in confusion. "Magic? Whats that?" They got surprised and looked at the boy nearest to Gray.
"What the hell do you mean by whats magic?" Cana shouted. "Your using magic just now" the boy once again shook his head. With the two other boys going to his side. Copying one another like a mirror they all put up their hands towards Cana, Gray and Elfman.
"He don't have magic, we're real, he don't have any magic at all, the only power we need is our mental and physical" they nodded and held hands. "We only believe in ourselves and Onee-chan, nothing else"
"Who's this 'Onee-chan' your all speaking of?" Elfman asked intently. All the boys smiled together and spoke up.
"Our whole world, she shows us light and gives us hope. We now only live for her" Gray's eyes widened to their positivity towards one person even though their a dark guild. Seeing them show so much light was surprising. But then, Cana instantly fell to the floor and so did Elfman. "But we only need, you" the boys whispered. Gray could now only see darkness, as he soon lost consciousness he felt like his world will soon collapse.

Natsu turned around suddenly feeling really nervous.
"What's wrong Natsu?" Erza asked turning back towards him.
"Oh, its nothing I just had a funny feeling is all" Natsu turned back around to face Erza and Mira again.
"The others will be fine Natsu, don't worry" Mira said patting his back. Natsu nodded and started walking down the hall once again. He started to sniff the air with caution.
"Someones here" he said looking down the hall. Soon hearing footsteps they find a girl walking towards them. She had no shoes, she didn't look suitable for any fighting at all.
"Are you ok?" Erza asked running to her offering help. "I didn't know there where still civilians around here" the girl smirked under her hair. Black smoke soon came rushing in from every corner. The girl instantly grabbed Erza by the throat making her unable to speak or breath lightly. Mira soon felt on the floor and kicked away to the side, so confused in the commotion Natsu stepped back, trying to get away from the smoke, unable to see anything he bumped into a small little creature. Crashing to the floor the little creature ran around in circles. He light up from the smoke. The girl came over and the little guy leaped up onto her head.
"Can you come with me? I need to take you somewhere, its important" turning on her heels she instantly vanished into the smoke. Natsu ran after her intently, finally able to see again and out of the smoke he found Mira and Erza floating on the black smoke.
"This way"
"Wait what are you doing? Where are you taking me and why did you knock out Mira and Erza?" Natsu asked follow right behind her.
"You talk to much" the girl said walking in a straight direction. Coming to an end the girl stopped. Turned on her heels to face Natsu.
"What are you doing?" Natsu asked with mystery flowing all around him. The girl stood there with no emotion at all.
"Up" as soon as she said that one word the ground instantly moved down instead of up.
"Why are we going down?" Natsu asked curiously. Looking up to see that the top was blocked off.
"The top is where you would most likely find the boss right?" The girl asked. Natsu gulped. "Well, we do things differently, soon the walls changed into a theatre of lives. "You see all these people?" She asked.
"Yes, I've met some of them before"
"These are all the lives that will pass on, more will replace them, and that will be an endless cycle for years to come" she explained "I don't have any care towards these lives but i hate the idea of them dying from a cause that has nothing to do with them."
"What does that have to do with me?" Natsu asked. Scared as all hell he looked at the girl in the eyes and saw nothing, no hope, no despair, no happiness. It was an empty soul.
"You'll just have to wait at see." As the bottom floor finally showed itself Natsu and the girl got out of the moving floor along with Mira and Erza. Looking around Natsu didn't see an hell, he saw a place that looked like heaven.
"What is this place?" He asked looking all around at the sighting he has first witnessed. The girl only walked forward and set Mira and Erza in chairs that suit them. The girl soon used the smoke to get herself up on a ledge.
"My friends call this place Heavens Gate" she explained looking down at Natsu.
"But I thought you guys were a dark guild?" Natsu asked confused.
"We where never a dark guild to start with" the girl said with pain growing in her voice.
