The guild was as loud as ever with Natsu and Gray fighting over the stupidest things, Erza screaming at them, and just a normal day at the guildhall. Where to find our resident thunder legion was in the guild infirmary looking over there dying friend praying and pleading for him to survive, but knowing the truth and not wanting to bear with the fact that they are gonna lose there captain soon. Laxus was sitting to the left side of Freed's bed holding his hand for dear life, Evergreen was on his right with her hand stroking his long green locks, and Bickslow was at the end of the bed arms crossed and staring at his friend with worried eyes and his babies just silently floating around him. Freed was laying in the bed sleeping and looking paler than he usually does, his time running out and it is very obvious. 

It was silent in the room until Bickslow spoke up, "What are we gonna do when he's gone?" When both of his teammates looked up at him they could see the despair in his eyes and how he has been crying. Laxus just looked at him for a moment, looked at Freed then back at the Seth mage and replied, "I don't know Bicks, I really don't know..." he paused for a moment then continued "He's our captain and he's so important I really wish it was me on my death bed instead of him. The universes use for him is far from over, he could have spread amazing things throughout the world, but his times ended..." He turned back to Freed and looked like he was about to weep. Evergreen who was silent most of the time finally decided to speak up "Freed's times coming to an end, but what about us.....What will happen to the Rajinshuu? Freed was the reason we all came together...will he be the reason it came to an end...?" Bickslow walked over to the crying fairy and comforted her to the best of his ability.

 "Ever....the Thunder God Tribe might come to an end, but what if we created a new name in tribute of our captain?" Laxus and Evergreen looked completely shocked by the boys' idea but pondered on it and Ever replied: "What would we call our selves and would anyone else join?" They all thought of names to tribute there almost fallen captain. Bickslow suggested, "How about the Freed fantasies?" after that the other two just started laughing and Laxus said, "That is the worst name ever Bicks." 

They all continued to think before Laxus said, "The runes?" they all looked at him weirdly and disagreed. Then a timid voice was heard and said "The dark runes..." they all looked at the voice it was their friend who they were tributing and they agreed..."The dark runes it is...What gave you that idea Freed?" Ever said. Freed just responded by shrugging his shoulders, he finally realized that Laxus was holding his hand so he squeezed it to let him know that he was returning the gesture. The moment came to an end when the door swung open and Makarov Dryer walked in the room and smiled then said, "Freed it's good to see you awake my boy. What were you all talking about before I came in?" They all look hesitant then Bickslow responds "We were talking about the future and a new name to tribute Freed for when his time comes to an end....we were actually about to talk about maybe adding new team members..." They look at him with questioning eyes then came into the realization that they where going to. Master just looked at them with a smile then asked: "What name would you choose and who would you add?" They just looked at each other and shrugged, replying to his grandfather Laxus says "Whoever wants to join The Dark Runes can we have no requirements, but it would be nice if we really knew the person." The old master just looked at them and smiled while responding, "The Dark Runes huh? I like that."
