Beast Tamer

Episode 5: Shika is Mad, and Things are Getting Ugly.

Shikako is not a morning person, that one thing is something everyone in the guild knows. But when said person decides to wake up early in order to get to the guild, that shows a certain dedication.

The S-class mage was on her way to the guild, planning to stop by the market and hospital on her way. As she was carrying a small bag of pastries, she happened to pass by a pouch with the Fairy Tail symbol on it.

Being around Lucy since she had joined had allowed her to see this pouch many times, and Shikako knows the blonde would never drop her keys on accident.

So that left 2 options; 1 something happened to Lucy which caused her to drop them, or two Phantom Lord kidnapped Lucy and at the last minute she dropped them so they couldn't hold them hostage.

The Beast Tamer couldn't do anything but hold on to them until Lucy got back, Makarov had left her in charge of the safety of the guild members that were less able. So it would be irresponsible to leave now, Shikako sighed continuing to the hospital.

The woman was going to keep this information to herself at least until the other members came back. Because she knows for a fact that the members still in Magnolia would try to rescue Lucy, and unfortunately they couldn't leave the guild, or whats left of it, unguarded.

Shikako had sent one of her newer pack members on their first mission yesterday, a Goblin with dark purple fur instead of pink and black spots along her tail. Bell's mission is to keep an eye out for the attacking guild members.

Goblin's normally can't use caster magic, but Bell was born with teleportation magic and for that she was cast out of her previous pack.

So if any of the members were to be seriously hurt the goblin can teleport them, well one person at a time.

Reaching Team Shadowgear's room Shikako hides Lucy's keys in her thigh weapons pouch as she walks in.

Droy is still unconscious but Levy and Jet are awake, "hey kiddo's I've got food." They both make no move to accept the food though she can hear their stomachs growling.

The S-class mage sighs going to sit in the chair next to Levy's bed, the nurse must have pulled the dividing curtain back.

"It's not your guy's fault." Jet's eyes tear up as Levy goes to deny it "no Levy. It's not your fault." Shikako placed a hand on the small blue haired teen's head "it was an ambush, all the evidence points to it, you had no time to retaliate. So tell me how was it your fault."

Levy started to tremble as tears flowed down her cheeks, the older mage just sat there and gently detangled the girls hair. Jet sat quietly mulling over Shika's words, the S-class mage isn't one for empty words or threats.

He knew they were out classed by Gajeel, but three against one and they couldn't even land a hit on the guy. Shikako noticed the dark, self-deprecating look on the ginger's face and had to act quick and carefully.

"If you feel like you could have done better then I'm offering a one time only training lesson, no matter how troublesome it is." Letting out a dramatic sigh the woman smirked when Levy brokenly giggled.

Jet's dark brown eyes sharply looked up into the older mages steel eyes, Shika was mad and not like anything he'd ever seen before he'd only seen the mage annoyed at most.

Shikako felt a shift on her bond with Bell meaning that she had teleported, quickly excusing herself and ordering them to eat, she followed the magic signature to the guild.

As she sprinted down the stairs leading to the basement she could hear Mira crying, lying on one of the tables was the Master, green and groaning.

Uncontrollable fury flooded Shikako, she wanted to make her way to Oak town and take care of it herself. But she had no other options "Mira, Makarov is completely drained of magic. I need you to slowly funnel your magic into him."

Mira sniffled before trying, but she was to emotional. "I know you can do it, Master is going to be fine. But he needs magic, right now his body is suffocating him because of it's lack of magic."

The white haired young woman nodded firmly wiping her tears as she placed her hands over Makarov's forehead and heart. Glowing a dark pink color gradually fading to green as she trickled the magic into the tiny master.

Shikako turned to a random member telling them to go get Porlyusica before glancing back at Mira "I'm going outside to wait for the others." Mira nodded solely focused of the Master.

Patting a crying Romeo on the way out, she gave him a determined look. The boy calmed down as he stared at the reliable back of Shika. Following her outside was Bell, her voice a airy purr "I'm sorry."

The Beast Tamer crouched down picking up Bell, cradling the small squirrel like magical creature, "It's going to be alright. I told you to look after them and I know that's a hard task to do, your not at fault. And you did a splendid job at getting the Master here in time." Glancing down at her with a gentle smile "I'm proud of you."

Bell beamed up at her Alpha before jumping down to go back inside, she and Romeo are good friends and Shikako figured he needed the comfort more then her right now.

As the S-class mage stood outside the members inside trembled as a heavy magic signature settled over the guild.

"Don't worry, that's just Shika. He's just extremely mad." Mira sighed wiping her forehead of sweat looked up at the members and gave a small smile "I've only felt him get mad one other time and this is much worse."
