Chapter 3: Guild Arrest
In the last chapter we got to see Cyrus return to Fairy Tail and reunite with his little sister! Although now he trapped in Magnolia on Master Makarov, what will he do with his time now.
Lucy and Levy sat at the bar in the guild as they talked about the most recent news in the guild, that being how Levy's brother wasn't allowed to go on jobs for the time being. "I still can't believe that guy is your brother Levy! He's way to scary to have any kind of relation to you!" Lucy said as she shivered at remembering her first meeting the Quicksilver Devil. "You don't know him like I do Lucy, Cyrus has a soft side, he just doesn't like showing it very much." Levy said as she looked down at her drink with a sad look in her eyes. Lucy looked at her friend in worry as she was obviously worried about her big brother right now.
"Well Levy, your brother doesn't seem like the friendliest person in the world." Lucy said as she looked at her best friend in worry. "I don't get why everyone's afraid of him, he's just a jerk!" Natsu said as he joined them at the bar. "Natsu! You can't say that about someone's family member!" Lucy scolded as she turns to look at her teammate. "Well Natsu, when most people generally don't like you it's hard to be nice isn't it?" Levy said as the dragon slayer and celestial mage turned to look at her in surprise. "Well he should just join in on a brawl or something, he never joins in on the fun!" Natsu said as he turned to look in another direction.
"I'm actually worried about him to, after the talk I had with him yesterday." Lucy and Levy turned to see Mirajane standing behind the bar and right in front of him. "Really Mira? It might do Cyrus some good if someone tried to talk to him besides me of course." Levy said in excitement at someone wanting to help her brother. "Well I hope to at least try, but first we have to wait for him to show up." Mirajane said as she still had yet to see Cyrus enter the guild. "Hey Levy, where are Jet and Droy? Aren't they always with you?" Lucy asked as she couldn't spot the two boys in question. Levy got up and looked around for her friends frantically. "Oh no." Levy groaned as she knew where they were.
With Cyrus
Cyrus let out a yawn as he was making his way towards Fairy Tail for the day. "I could just stay at my place the entire day and read, but I promised half pint I would at least give this whole thing a shot." Cyrus thought to himself as he let out another yawn. "Gotta admit it was nice to sleep in my own bed for once. Now how will I entertain myself today?" Cyrus said to himself as his trademark smile spread across his face. "Hey you silver prick!" Cyrus lazily turned to see Jet and Droy glaring at him as they blocked his path.
"Oh it's you two idiots, what you finally decide to stop following my sister around like a couple of pathetic lost puppies?" Cyrus said as his grin only grew larger. Jet and Droy only seemed to get angrier at Cyrus's statement and his grin. "Your a real bastard you know that? Levy is sad that your never around, but then again you should stay the hell away from the guild!" Jet growled as he glared at Cyrus in rage. To both their surprise, Cyrus threw back his head and began to laugh hysterically. "What and leave my sister with you idiots? It's cute that you think she'll end up liking either of you!" Cyrus said as he was almost doubled over from laughing.
"What do you know?! Both of us have been there for your sister more then you have!" Droy shouts as both of them got in fighting stances. "What do I know? I know how smart my sister is and there's no way she would lower her standards six feet into the ground to date one of you two! She would sooner date that guy that pinned you three to that tree!" Cyrus said as he was now howling in laughter. That was the last straw for Jet and Droy as Cyrus noticed that they were going to attack. "Take this you don't of a bitch!!" Jet shouted as he used his high speed magic to launch himself towards Cyrus.
Jet aimed a kick at Cyrus's head, but the S-Rank Mage's head turned completely silver as Mercury started dripping from the tips of his hair. When Jet's leg connected, Cyrus's face was scrunched to the side slightly, but he was completely unharmed. "Did I hit a nerve? Well at least since you attacked first, this will be counted as self defense instead of manslaughter!" Cyrus said with a cackle as his index finder turned silver before he pointed it at Jet. A tiny shot of Mercury was fired into Jet's chest that sent him flying backwards and across the ground.
"You bastard!!" Droy shouted as he threw down a bunch of seeds that sprouted into plants that had fists on them.
The fisted plants flew towards Cyrus ready to attack him, but the S-Rank Mage's smile only grew wider. A silver magic circle appeared under Cyrus's feet. "Full Quicksilver Jacket!!" Cyrus shouted as his entire body turned into Mercury. When the plants connected, they sank into Cyrus's body as the Mercury caused the plants to wither and die. Cyrus then broke the dead plants before his body returned to normal. "Now then, what should I do about you two?" Cyrus said darkly as both men quivered in complete fear.
Cyrus however noticed that their fear turned into joy as they were looking behind Cyrus. "Erza help us! This bastard attacked us out of the blue!" Jet shouted as Cyrus looked over his shoulder to see another one of his fellow S-Rank Mages, Erza Scarlet.
"Is that so?" Erza said calmly as she walked up to Cyrus. Erza then walked past Cyrus before delivering a powerful punch to the tops of both Jet and Droy's heads. Both of them looked at Erza in confusion, until they shut up at the sight of her icy glare.
"Do you two really think I'm some kind of idiot?! Cyrus wouldn't waste his time attacking you for no reason!" Erza shouted as both men flinched in fear. "She's right you know, you two are about as threatening as a pair of cocker spaniels." Cyrus said as both Mages quickly got up and ran away in fear from the sword wielding mage. "Never thought I'd be happy to see you Scarlet, but here you are getting rid of my problems." Cyrus said as he looked over at Erza. While he wasn't very fond of his guild mates, but Erza was one of the rare exceptions to this.
"You can be mean spirited, but you would never mindlessly attack someone." Erza said as she and Cyrus began walking towards the guild. "Yeah, well I promised half pint I would work on that." Cyrus said as Erza gave him a rather strong slap on the back. "It's wonderful to hear your trying to better yourself while under guild arrest." Erza said as Cyrus gave her a surprised look. "That's what it's called? I guess there are worse names for it. By the way I picked this up for you while I was out." Cyrus said as he handed Erza a catalog of cakes for the requip mage.
At Fairy Tail
"I can't believe you two attacked my brother on his walk to the guild!" Levy shouted at Jet and Droy as they cowered in fear at her anger. "B-But Levy." Droy tried to say only for him to be silenced once again by the horrifying glare Levy had on her face, maybe her and Cyrus had more in common after all. "Don't Levy me! Honestly stay away from me for the rest of the day!" Levy shouted before she stomped off in a huff as Cyrus watched from his seat at the bar. "I honestly don't know what their thought process was." Cyrus said as he took a sip of his drink while watching the craziness in front of him unfold.
"Well it's only natural for siblings to stand up for one another right?" Mirajane said as she stood in front of Cyrus's seat behind the bar. "Yeah, but I'm talking about them trying to fight me. Maybe people aren't as afraid of my magic anymore? That or I've been away for to long." Cyrus said as he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Cyrus, I want to apologize for yesterday, I didn't take into account how it was from your perspective." Mirajane said as she gave Cyrus a sad smile. "It's fine, besides if I'm on lockdown for the next week at a minimum I might as well have someone to talk to while I'm here." Cyrus said as she gave Mirajane one of his unnerving smiles.
Mirajane didn't know why, but she didn't find Cyrus's smile as discomforting as it usually is. "His smile seems so genuine all of a sudden." Mirajane thought to herself as she cleaned a few glasses. "I heard that we're forming some kind of alliance? To bad I'm benched, sounds like it could be a good time." Cyrus said as Mirajane giggled at his words as her smile returned. "Natsu's team is heading out for that mission, so it should go well for everyone." Mirajane said as she refilled Cyrus's glass. "I guess, still sucks that I'm stuck when everyone else can take jobs when they want." Cyrus grumbled before taking another drink from his glass.
It was brief, but Cyrus could have sworn that he caught a glimpse of something through the window of the guild. It looked like something was watching them. "What the hell?! What in the world is that?" Cyrus thought to himself as he tried to focus on whatever he saw. "Are you okay Cyrus?" Cyrus lost his focus as he turned to look at Mirajane who gave him a confused look. "Yeah I'm fine, just thought I saw something." Cyrus said before turning to look out the window only to find that it was gone. Cyrus sat there deep in thought as he wondered if he had just been imagining that thing.
So Cyrus had a run in with his sister's teammates and Erza! Cyrus seems unenthused about his entire situation he finds himself in. Please tell me your thoughts in the comments as always! What was that thing that Cyrus saw outside the window? What will he do while under guild arrest? Could something be lurking in the shadows? Find out in the next chapter of Fairy Tail: The Quicksilver Devil!
