"This is bad.." Bickslow grimaced.
Word spread fast that the former Fairy Tail wizard, (Y/N), as well as her animal companion and human accomplice, Terrell and Matt, had slaughtered a child slavery organization -- both the adults running the business as well as the children.
This occurred three weeks ago.
"This is worse than I thought." Makarov thought aloud. He continued to be in thought for another moment before he looked in Levy's direction. "Levy, you must hurry and find some way to fix (Y/N)'s situation. Time is not on our side."
"Ok, Master."
"You know," Lucy spoke up, "I've been thinking. What if there was a way to seal (Y/N)'s other personality?"
"A seal?" Levy repeated.
"Yeah, I mean this whole time we've mainly been pursuing the path of trying to slow down the 'splitting process,' but what if we just seal it with magic?"
"Does such a magic exist?" Erza asked.
"Let me check." Levy said, beginning to flip through the pages of the books quickly. "Oh, what about this one?" She exclaimed.
SEAL AWAY A SPLIT PERSONALITY
° MUST BE COMPLETED BY A WIZARD WITH ENCHANTING MAGIC
° SAY THE SPELL:
"There are two of you in one body
And there can only be one.
Oh Bethesda, here my thoughts,
Listen to my heart.
Seal away the unwanted entity before me.
Leave behind the one I desire.
I envoke the Seal of Bethesda."
° CLAP YOUR HANDS TOGETHER, ACTIVATING THE SEAL.
"But what if this seals the wrong (Y/N)?" Lucy asked, "Assuming that the (Y/N) we are currently seeing is the real (Y/N), then the (Y/N) we knew will be sealed away forever."
"If that were true, then this spell wouldn't work." Erza commented, "There's no point in getting to know a fake (Y/N). However, I have faith that the (Y/N) we all knew is the real (Y/N), don't you?"
"Of course."
"Now that that's settled, I guess the next plan of action is to find (Y/N)." Makarov stated, "Laxus and the Thunder Legion, Wendy, Erza, and Mirajane will go on this misson."
"BUT I WANNA GO, GRAMPS!" Natsu complained.
"Why? To get in our way?" Laxus growled.
"Obviously because I want to save (Y/N)."
"Natsu," Makarov spoke, "we are dealing with assassins. This is serious. We only need essential people for this misson. If things go wrong, I want to avoid as many casualties as possible. That's why I've sent my S-Class wizards, along with the Thunder Legion for support, and Wendy has to cast the spell. Now, if there are no more complaints, let's save (Y/N)."

"What a bunch of fools. They actually believed what I was saying. People can be so gullible."
A young, rich teenager just finished speaking at a charity fundraiser that helped promote his father's campaign for mayor. He was leaving with his bodyguard/butler.
"Wow, no wonder you're on their hit list."
The two gentlemen turned around quickly at the unexpected voice. Behind them were the wizards sent from Fairy Tail, with Laxus being in the front.
"Wha-" The young teen gasped.
"Stand back, sir."
"Relax, we're not here to hurt you." Laxus stated, "We're here to protect you. Although, I can see why they want to kill you."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" The teen shrieked hysterically, "You suddenly show up out of nowhere and expect me to believe that you aren't here to harm me?"
"Exactly." Laxus replied, "There's a couple of assassins who are coming to kill you and we're here to intercept them."
"And how do I know that you guys aren't the assassins?"
"Because we're right over here." As soon as these words were spoken, a heavy mist filled the area. Everyone coughed and covered their nose and mouth for safety measure. Furthermore, it was difficult to even see a person's silhouette in this atmosphere.
"This is bad." Evergreen wined.
"No kidding." Bickslow retorted.
"This is obviously a cover for them to get to the kid." Laxus grunted, "Everyone stay sharp!"
"Wha-" The said "kid" stuttered, "What's happening? Greg, are you there? Where are you?"
"I'm here, sir." The bodyguard, known as Greg, replied, "Grab my hand."
"Oka-Aaaaah!"
"Quincy!" Greg shouted in concern, "Quincy!"
A few seconds later, the mist cleared from the area and everyone could see again.
However, one person was missing from the group of people who were once standing there -- Quincy, the rich teenager.
"Got the kid's scent." Laxus stated, "Let's move."
And with that command, the Fairy Tail mages were about to take off.
"Wait!" Greg shouted, stopping the wizards in their tracks. "Let me come with you! I must protect the young Master!"
"No," Laxus denied immediately, "You'll slow us down."
"Laxus." Erza scolded.
"He just wants to protect his friend." Mira defended the stranger.
"And that means he should slow us down by putting himself in danger?" Laxus grunted, "Can you even use magic?" He asked the bodyguard, glaring at him.
"N-No," Greg stuttered, feeling uncomfortable under Laxus' glare. "but I have lots of training in swordsmanship."
"That's not enough. With magic someone could kill you in an instant." Not waiting for a reply, Laxus walked off, following Quincy's scent.
"Don't mind him, he's just moody." Mira reassured the bodyguard who stood there speechless.
"Laxus, that was uncalled for." Erza spoke after leaving.
"What? I was only telling the truth."
"But he just wanted to protect someone precious to him." Mira chimed, "Just like how you want to protect (Y/N)."
Laxus didn't respond because he knew the girls were right. He just didn't want to admit it. And Mira waa right, he is moody.
The rest of the short travel was silent, but when they found Quincy, he was on top of the tallest building in the city. A rope was tied around his arms -- keeping them behind his back -- and around his legs. He was also standing on the edge of the building, with Terrell standing behind him with the tip of a sword to the teen's back.
With one push, Quincy would fall to his death.
"Terrell," Erza shouted, "how could you do this?"
"My loyalty lies with (Y/N)." He stated emotionlessly, "Always has, always will."
"But you still should have a sense of right and wrong." The redheaded wizard drew her sword.
"Enough with the 'holier-than-thou' attitude." Matt groaned, coming into view with (Y/N) beside him. "It's not attractive."
"Who was talking to you?" Laxus snapped.
"I don't believe anyone was talking to you either, you brainless gorilla."
"How dare you talk to Laxus in such a way!" Freed drew his sword as well.
"Anyway," Laxus cocked his head from side to side, his neck cracking in the process. "we're not going to let you kill the kid."
"You haven't realized it yet, have you?" You spoke, "Our target is not the brat."
The Fairy Tail wizards showed expressions of confusion at your statement. Surely they thought you were after Quincy, but if you're not after him, then who?
"Quincy!" An older man, perhaps in his 40s, ran up on the rooftop, panting out of exhaustion. "Quincy, are you alright?"
"Oh, I'm doing just fine, you know. Never better!" The teen sarcastically commented.
The man then focused his attention on you and Matt. "I'm here. Now release my son." He demanded.
Son! The Fairy Tail wizards' eyes widened in realization.
"Sure," You smirked and nodded at Terrell, who cut Quincy free. "but you have to die."
In the blink of an eye, you were in front of the man -- your right arm transformed into a wolf arm. Before anyone could say anything, you reached into the man's chest and ripped out his heart.
