Thirteenth Mission [Action/Video]

[Action - locked to Mirajane]

[Erza wakes up in the exact same spot that she fell asleep - in her bed, with her arms wrapped around Mirajane as they held each other tightly. Last night had been better than anything described in Erza's extensive collection of romance novels - Erza had been hoping to save their first time for a special occasion, their one year anniversary as a couple, and it certainly paid off. While she'd likely be wearing sweaters for the next few days, and she'd definitely need a new bed (unsurprisingly, putting two of Fairy Tail's strongest mages in one room is going to result in something getting broken), it was more than worth it.

Not wanting to wake her girlfriend, Erza manages to untangle her limbs from Mirajane's body. Getting out of bed, she exquips into a bathrobe and heads out to the small kitchen in her apartment. It's not much - only really good for cooking simple meals - but Erza wants Mirajane to wake up to breakfast. She figures that Mira looks after the guild's meals, so it's time for someone to wait on her for a change.]

[Video]

[The video feed shows Erza and Mirajane sitting at a table and enjoying their breakfast. Mirajane's bright and chipper as always, while Erza's trying to be serious about this. (though she's not as serious as usual, given Mira's presence)]

((OoC: Erza's comments are in red, while Mirajane's are in silver))

With these snow monsters roaming the cities, we want everyone to stay safe out there.

You know, it might be tempting to have a snowball fight with them, but there's no telling what they're capable of. So please make sure to buddy up out there.

If you know anyone who can use fire-related abilities, stick with them - obviously, fire works well against these creatures.

Or you can always come to Fairy Haven if you're in Fayren!

If you don't have the option of defending yourself, try to stay as warm as possible. Maybe gather with your friends or family near a roaring fire.

This time of year is great for cuddling up with some hot cocoa!

Maybe with some marshmallows, or cream?

Hmm... I wonder where I can get some cream?

[Erza blushes a little at that remark, but Mira had brought up a good point earlier.] Though you're right - this is a good time of year to cuddle up by the fireplace.

Ooh! Maybe we could bake some Christmas cookies!

[Erza lights up at the mention of sweets.] With lots of icing?

[Mirajane giggles, expecting a response like that, before leaning over to kiss Erza on the cheek.] Of course.

[Before the two of them get lost in their own little world, Erza realizes that they're still recording and cuts the video feed.]

Good. I see you two have the situation perfectly under control. [She winks.]

I'm glad that you think so! We thought it might help to give some advice. We're still working on the cookie situation, though.

[Getting any ingredients that they need might be slightly more difficult than normal thanks to the snow monsters, but only slightly.]

The cookies are their own situation now? Should we form a cookie committee?

[Don't mind Mirajane, she's just casually speaking up since she's snuggled up next to Erza anyways.]

I'm not Natsu, but I know a few fire spells. I'll keep my eyes open.

{ Though, he's not going to go looking for a fight. That's never been Zeref's style. }

I should hardly think mere snowmen would be a problem for you Lord Zeref.

[Why yes, that was a rather familiar face sitting next to Erza, and speaking to him in the same manner Seilah would.]

...

[Only for Mirajane to ruin Seilah's always so stern and serious face with a smile and playful wink.]

Buuut~! I'm sure if you're scared master Mavis will protect you.

[Forgive her Zeref... she's in an insufferably cheerful and practical joking mood.]

S-Seilah!?

{ When did she-- wait, why is she sitting there with--... }

{ ... oh. Because that's not Seilah. }

... you took over an Etherious? { How is that even possible? Etherious aren't 'natural' demons, despite the biological similarities. That Mirajane was able to adapt and take one over... poor Seilah. Talk about a fate worse than death, at least for her. One of the only surviving members of Tartaros, perhaps the only surviving member, now existing as a part of Mirajane. }

[Mirajane had been waiting to drop that bombshell on Zeref for months now, but she'd wanted the perfect moment. While this might not have been the most perfect it was pretty damn close, and his reaction was priceless. She let the takeover fizzle away with a cheery little laugh.]

What can I say? To the victor goes the spoils? Her form did quite a number on your army during the war, but I remembered recently you probably never got to know the cause. So I thought this was a fun way to share that with you since you made her and we're on good terms now

Don't feel too bad for her, she would have been far less merciful than I was. This way she gets to still read books whenever I'm bored.

So that's what Wall was talking about, before. I'd planned in advance for the possibility that somebody other than an Etherious would figure out how to weaponize Magical Barrier Particles or harness Curse Power, which was why I had the Machias develop a way to counteract them. It looks like I was right to do so.

Normally, I wouldn't. The Etherious were tools that I created, and they were tools that didn't even work as far as their intended purpose was concerned. { Not even E.N.D. was able to kill him in the end, or so Mirajane had said before. And she had no reason to lie to him about that. } I was surprised because Seilah actually was here, before. She wouldn't leave my side, unlike Silver or Mard Geer. She felt it was her duty to protect me, and I decided that was better than trying to pick fights with Fairy Tail, so I indulged her. You might say we bonded in the process. The shared interest in reading helped with that. In that sense, I guess out of all of them, I'm glad that it was her that survived in some form.

It's fascinating, but I think sometimes the capacity of things we create can surpass the expectations of the creator. As far as Seilah is concerned, perhaps it's a bit presumptuous of me to assume as much, but I think there's a part of her in me that feels rather touched that you still care for her after all this time. Perhaps a strange notion since your etherious demons were hardly the most benevolent beings, but I think given time, no matter how they are created, anyone or anything is capable of change in unexpected ways.

[Was that to say she thought Seilah was someone who she'd ever let loose into the world again? Not very likely, but perhaps the demoness was learning a thing or two about compassion in the time they spent together... or she her soul would forever stew in lament and resentment, one of those.]

I have to wonder how many of them viewed you as a father figure since you crafted them.

[Like a certain 'son' of Zeref's perhaps?]

Yes. When I eventually told her the truth about the reason why I created her and the others, she thought that made her a failure in my eyes. It crushed her. { And by that point, they'd grown close enough for Zeref to actually sort of feel bad about it; enough to tell her that it wasn't her fault and she shouldn't blame herself, at least. } They're driven by instinct, and that instinct is to do whatever it is they think their creator wants of them. Perhaps my loathing for the way humanity chooses to look at my legacy - condemning me while hypocritically using my magic for their own purposes like the Royal Family, or worse, invoking my name to justify their own evil - made them hate humans. They certainly can get along with humans, if that's what I want from them. Two of them are even members of the Twelve.

{ Zeref scoffs. }

That would be Larcade. He takes that far more literally than any of the others did, calling himself my 'son.' Unlike Tartaros, he goes out of his way to be polite and kind to the other Shields, and most of them like him for it. All except August. In fact, Larcade is the only member of the Twelve with whom August doesn't get along. { And in hindsight, it finally makes sense. Zeref didn't care what Larcade called himself as long as he remained useful, up until the final battle with Natsu. August really was his son, and resented Larcade for trying to lay claim to what should have been rightfully his. }

These guys so far don't seem all that tough. Kinda disappointed that.

I know how you feel, but remember not everyone is an earth shattering powerhouse of destruction. That said, could you tell me anything about the ones you fought{

The ones I fought tried to copy me. But without the powers to back it up, they couldn't stand up to me.

Copying? Copying... how exactly?

Like they tried to copy my body and movements, almost like a mirror duplicate, but just made of snow.

[She was a bit worried when she said copying, but now?]

Are you serious? That hardly sounds very threatening. Would that mean if I was bringing home groceries, I might get some snow men to help?

No, I mean trying to copy my moves while fighting. I took it easy on them at first and they started to learn how I fought. Then they tried to use those skills on me.

So then who attacked first? Did they have any form of attack pattern before trying to copy your own?

I dunno. They were just snow monsters without any real distinct shape.

Hmm... I'm starting to wonder if ignoring them so they can't learn anything is the better course of action.

You do remember how I said they lack powers to go with those skills, right? For example, if they copy Erza's sword skills, that might be bad, but the sword is made of snow so it's more likely to break after a hit. And even then, they can't copy Erza's superior strength, speed, or that armor switch thing. Just like how they can't copy my fire, let alone Crimson Mode.

Yes... but what if they're taking what they learn back to some shared consciousness to became more capable in the long term against those who are less readily able to defend themselves?

Then I'll kick their asses quicker. Not like they are fun to fight anymore.

[Don't mind Mirajane, she swears she's not mocking you with her laughter... maybe just finding you adorable?]

That sounds like such a Natsu solution to the problem!

Edited 2018-12-18 22:30 (UTC)

It's not like I'm going full power anyway. Haven't even transformed.

Who is Natsu?

Edited 2018-12-18 22:31 (UTC)

Natsu? Oh he's just a friend from back home. Hot headed, impulsive, fiery, reckless, one of the most powerful members of our guild, you'd probably like him, or get into brawls with him all the time.

If he's anything like Erza, pass for now. I love fights, but I'm gonna have to train to get over that hurdle.

Nahhh, nobody in Fairy Tail is quite like my honey bunny.

[Don't mind Mirajane, she's just going to be disgustingly clingy to the red head seated next to her.]

He's kind of his own brand of strong.

Then where do you stand? I figure you can fight as well.

Oh... wherever I please really.

[That was her enigmatic way of saying she wasn't one to boast about her own strength.]

Let's just say, you wouldn't like to see me angry.

....you certainly got the smile for that personality.

[Same smile she saw when she ambushed Aizawa. Her senses kept saying to not cross that line.]

What can I say? I'm just a naturally cheerful person!

[Not that she was always this way, but that was a different story. Suffice it to say, there wasn't a single member of Fairy Tail who knew the full extent of what Mirajane was truly capable of when she went all out. If her instincts told her to be afraid of what lurked beneath that smile, she had good instincts indeed, because Erza would be hard pressed to deal with Mirajane.]

[Erza's being about as clingy to Mira as Mira's being to her, but her face quickly turns bright red at that "honey bunny" remark, even if the blissful smile is still on it.]

I-I don't know about that - there's a few who are as strong as me, or stronger. [Unless she broke out the Nakagami armour right away, she figures she stands no chance against Gildarts.]

[Well despite the embarrassment Erza seems to be having at the idea of Mirajane's praise, Mirajane refuses to let her ruin the moment with talk like that. So she snuggles in close again, pulling Erza into a backwards hug, and affectionately brushing her glorious scarlet hair.]

Shhh, shhh... there's always going to be someone stronger, but that doesn't make you any less strong, and courageous, and beautiful.

[You might want to look away Homura, it's getting pretty darn lovey-dovey in here.]

[Erza nuzzles against Mira, filled with glee at that touch.]

You're right - of course you're right. [She turns her head to kiss her girlfriend, grateful for the support.] Sorry for being so silly, my hon-- er, darling.

[Erza wasn't much for using pet names, so she had to stop herself from calling Mira her "honey". She had too many weird memories associated with that phrase.]

[Homura sees all of this and makes a face. Not that she hated seeing happy couples but....this was definitely not for her. Not as bad as Haruka or Ryona though, thank god.]

...Maybe we can talk more when you two aren't lovey-dovey. Later.

[And with that, she signs off forever.]

[Mirajane was lying in the slightly demolished bed, the legs broken, the headboard snapped, and the mattress slightly torn, but she looked incredibly content as she slept. She was dressed in the Santa outfit Erza had worn last night, putting it on at some point during the evening, but forgetting to change out of it before falling asleep.]

Mmm... strawberry vanilla...

[She was dreaming about something as she rolled over in her sleep and straddled several pillows. In her sleep addled mind it was hard to form thoughts relating to the real world, but it felt like something was missing... or perhaps someone?]

[Erza was just putting the finishing touches on her breakfast for two - toast, scrambled eggs, juice, and strawberries with whipped cream. She was particularly proud of the last choice - not only was it a great way to start the day off, but the combination reminded her of the two of them, both in terms of appearance and how they go great together.

She had cooked enough for about three or four people - it wouldn't be Erza if she didn't go overboard somehow, but she figured that they had worked up an appetite. However, upon entering the bedroom to bring Mirajane breakfast in bed, she encountered an unexpected problem.]

[Mira was just too adorable when she was sleeping! Erza couldn't dare to wake her up like this, could she? Mirajane looked so peaceful, but if she waited too long, the breakfast would go to waste!

Erza thought for a moment, but she came up with a solution for what she perceived as this massive dilemma.]

[Going back to the kitchen to set the breakfast on the table, Erza goes back to her room and crawls back into bed. The knight brushes some of Mirajane's long white hair aside before kissing at her neck, taking her time with each one. If she was going to pull Mirajane from whatever wonderful dream she was having, she figures that she'll have to wake her up to something even better.]

Did you have a good dream?

[It helped that Mirajane was instinctively looking for Erza in her sleep, so when Erza crawled back into bed with her? Mirajane felt like all was right with the world again. Indeed, she had been starting to wake up already when she'd felt Erza missing, so the kisses of reassurance that Erza had returned was all it took to rouse Mirajane more fully. Rather than letting Erza simply pull her out of slumber with a few kisses to her neck, Mirajane rolled over on top of her lover, kissing her quite soundly on the lips.]

Mmmmm~

There's the flavor I was looking for.

[Strawberry vanilla? Well... maybe a little similar. Erza's question did manage to elicit a raise of Mirajane's eyebrow.]

My dream wasn't nearly as good as my anniversary present~

[She coyly curled a tassel of her hair around one finger]

Mmmmmm~~

[Erza thoroughly enjoyed her kiss with Mira as her arms almost instinctively wrap around the other woman - she was seriously tempted to take the entire day off and spend it with her lover in the remains of her bed. However, she couldn't stay in bed forever (as much as she wanted to), and after a few moments of holding Mira close and letting her play with her red hair, the smell of toast eventually reminds Erza why she came in here.]

And it's not even over yet.

[Managing to get off of the bed, Erza leads Mira to the kitchen where their breakfast is waiting. She holds the sides of her robe, giving a mock curtsey.]

Is there anything else I can get you, Mis-- Mist-- Mira?

[If the penalty game had been any indication, at least before things had turned kinky, one thing that Mirajane had wanted was to have Erza waiting on her, and Erza wanted to give her that for a little while. Calling her "Mistress" would clearly be much less likely.]
