Magical Heartstrings - Bleach X Fairy Tail Fanfic

Chapter 9 - Visions

Airi pov:

"So, what do we do now? We have to find some way to stop Oracion Seis from activating the Infinity Clock, right?" I asked as I leaned against one of the tables in the Fairy Tail Guild.

We had returned from Blue Pegasus just a little while ago. They had let us use their flying ship to get back to Magnolia and after a word of thanks from our Master to Master Bob, they had returned to their Guild.

Of course, Natsu had suffered with his motion sickness throughout the flight. I kind of felt sad for him. But it proved that even really good mages can have weaknesses.

I had slept very well last night. The uneasiness that I had been feeling yesterday was no longer there and I was totally refreshed since the time I woke up. I was probably just being paranoid. I had gone along with the ways of this world without giving much thought so I was just stressing myself.

Just before we left Blue Pegasus, we had all gathered to discuss some important points about the Infinity Clock. Just as I had figured out yesterday, when Lucy read through the reference book again, she had found out that we weren't supposed to have collected the clock parts. They should have been left untampered with but now that they had been brought together, it was a very big problem for us.

She had cried helplessly, seeing that she was the one who had led all of us on to find the parts. But hey, everyone makes mistakes. I hadn't figured it out either until we were past the point of return. So we had all just consoled her and reassured her that we would stop Oracion Seis from harming the world no matter what it took.

Right now, we had all gathered in the main hall of Fairy Tail to decide the next step. Most of the people here weren't very calm because most of the S class mages were out on other missions. With the power we had, it wasn't enough to defeat Oracion Seis.

I did happen to hear that Oracion Seis had been defeated by Fairy Tail seven years ago. After that fight though, they fell into what you would call a comatose state on the Fairy Tail Holy Island called Tenrou Island. They stayed like that for seven years....they hadn't grown in age for those seven years and their return was probably the happiest thing for the Guild.

However, even if they sort of grew in terms of maryoku during their state, people who trained would have gotten much stronger in the same time. So Oracion Seis would obviously be a challenge for Natsu and the others now.

"What can we do? At least if we could figure out which church Oracion Seis would target next, we would be able to do something. Sitting around like this without any leads....." Erza spoke with her arms crossed and a deep frown on her face.

"That's true....but why are they targeting churches to begin with?" Lucy asked.

"You have a point. They have the clock now, so why are they destroying churches? I don't think it has anything to do with having a grudge against churches." I voiced out as well.

"Maybe...." Just as Natsu began to speak, I heard a screeching ringing sound.

Gasping like a fish out of water, I fell to my knees. I covered my ears with my hands and shut my eyes tightly. The ringing continued but lessened over time. When it finally stopped, I pulled my hands away from my ears while breathing heavily. I heard muffled voices and I looked up when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Gray was at my side looking at me along with the others who had gathered around me.

"Oi! Are you okay?" Erza asked kneeling next to me.

"I'm okay.....I think." I mumbled out wondering what had happened to me all of a sudden. I was sure that I wasn't affected by any maryoku here....it didn't feel like that.
