Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Why does this crazy guy get his own nickname before me?" Neel sulked after receiving the message from Yami, seeing the video of Joker. He was upset about not giving the nickname for insane criminal mastermind. While on Azazel's back, Nashi, Lucky, and Gypsy were disturbed of Joker's appearance and his madness. Lucky placed his paw against his bridge of his nose. "I can't believe Mr. Cecil implanted his dark essence into that Mr. Jack's mind and he created Mr. Joker." He said in disbelief. "Although, he seems to interested in Oblivion Siblings, mostly Mr. Cecil." He added as he moved his paw away from his face. Gypsy hummed and looked at Nashi. "You don't think this Joker will put us in any harm, right?" She asked, since Nashi is smart, while her partner is both childish and dense. Nashi placed her finger underneath her chin and frowned, then she grabbed her backpack, she forgot to put it back in her house after her date with Lupus, she pulled out the Series of Arcanist and Force Gale Glasses. She flipped the entire page to see anything related to Joker. When she's on story of Keyblade wielder, she found the paragraph of character where Dark Knight face his arch-nemesis. She widen her eyes and removed her glasses as she finished. "He is actually dangerous, according to this novel, this Joker have a lot of gadgets that are either lethal or even kills people. Dark Knight and his teams had dealt with Joker, however Joker mostly taunted Dark Knight in this own amusement. Unlike Ras' al Ghul, who has his leagues to kills specific targets, Joker can kill people for his own fatal game." She said before she closed the book. Lucky and Neel looked at Nashi in high alert. "Since he's out there somewhere, he is consider to all community as dangerous criminal mastermind." Said Neel, he didn't want to face this Joker. "Sounds like it." He agreed with Neel. Nashi put the book away in her backpack then she pulled out the request paper and reads it. "We need to stay vigilant, and keep an eye on his tricks he may pull. Anyway, let's not worry about Joker, let's focus on finding Taiyang."

"Like I did suggest Bane for Jiemma Orland, but I got shot down and prefer Krampus to poke a fun of." Neel said as he and his siblings with Exceels slides down from Azazel's back, he recalled Jiemma was originally suppose to be Bane, but new generations of Fairy Tail and Triple Goddess like Krampus better after making fun of him. Nashi was suspicious about the novel, but the writer had some information. "Maybe both, but still I think Fujin threaten him to write the story." She said as a theory Fujin may have threaten the writer. Gypsy and Lucky looked at Neel as they both smile. "Like you haven't decide for Mr. Storm and Mr. Silver." said Lucky, mentioning Fullbuster twin brothers didn't get the nickname. Gypsy smiled at her partner. "Yeah, I like Daredevil, at least not like Silver needs to chill, his devil slayer is real bane." She noted Silver's temper mental. "He is the chill bane... Chillblaine." Neel commented, then curled his lips for nicknaming Silver as Chillblaine. "Now you got nickname for that frost underwear." Nashi said in disbelief. She picked up Lucky as Neel did the same, who beamed. "Yep, I can't wait to tell Silver that he got his nickname as Chillblaine." He exclaimed. Nashi rolled her eyes, but she smiled about her little brother's childish nickname. Mick asked her as she looked at the poster. "We can ask citizens of Veronica, and see if they have seen the phoenix. We can narrow it down his location. Once we find him, well... leave the challenge to Neel." She said the idea to ask the location of Taiyang, then leave everything to Neel. Neel can't hold his excitement. "What are we waiting, let's go find him!?" He exclaimed, then impulsively ran off with Gypsy let out a cry. Nashi suddenly jaw dropped, while Lucky face palmed. "Like father and son."

Nashi looked at Mick when he talked about Kazin Kaninari, yet he was giving him a creep. She only just shrugged, she was a little suspicious about Kazin seemingly knows about her and her friends, but he is the Magic Councilor. "Gin and I were little suspicious about Kazin, but we think Fujin could have threatened him by forcing him to write the story. There is no evidence that he could be in danger. We can ask Yami about him, so he can keep an eye on him. DeVoe, or rather Thinker, nearly revealed who Fujin is." She said, she and Ginny were suspicious about Kazin, but they don't have any evidence about him. She suggested to ask Yami to keep an eye on magic councilor, then mentioned Thinker nearly revealed who Fujin really is. She gave Mick an amused smile. Lucky shrugged his arms. "What can I say, Mr. Neel is more like his dad than Ms. Nashi's. Except she is more like temper combine by her parents." Lucky noted Neel was acting like Natsu more than Nashi, yet becoming cheeky for Nashi only has temper from both of her parents. Nashi irked by her vein popped out from her head. "Hey!" She shouted, but quickly calms down, it's not the right time to argue. She followed Neel with Lucky, Mick, and Azazel besides them. Azazel reminded them as Nashi, Lucky, Neel, and Gypsy noticed some of citizens were glaring at them. They all know why, Team Natsu and some Fairy Tails members fought Carbuncle members, and so called Phoenix destroyed Veronica. Gypsy sighed. "I don't know Azazel, once we know about Taiyang's challenge, if it is fighting... the chances are Neel will overdone it against the phoenix with fire and sun magic." Gypsy replied, the possible chances for Taiyang's challenge will ended up destroying the building. "Excuse me you young ones, I can't help, but overheard you talking about the phoenix." the old man spoken out as he approaching Dragneels. Nashi and Neel stopped and looked at the old man. Neel start speaking out. "Yes, we are looking for the phoenix, but I was told he is one of Eastern Zodiac Celestial Spirit, he is a Rooster. Have you seen him?" He confirmed. The old man stroke his beard like he's thinking, then he noticed the celestial spirit key holders on Nashi and Neel's hip. "Ah, you two are Celestial Spirit Mages. I do saw the scarlet flame bird flew by few days ago." He said with a smile. This sparks Neel's eyes. "Really, then where is he!?" He ask in excited. The old man chuckled heartily. "He is quite the hyperactive lad, you all have." He said to Nashi and Mick. Nashi smiled at the old man. "He always has been." She replied, meanwhile Lucky's meta-wizard's precognition kicked in as he widen his eyes. He catch the glimpse to recognized the emblem, and the fight, especially the familiar face. He focuses on his meta-wizard's ability to pin point the current timeline. He can hear the female voice and one of the group. "There is a Fairy Tail in sight, my lady." The female rouge inform the familiar woman. Lucky turned his head to see no other than Talia al Ghul. "Which Fairy Tail?" She said. "Two men and one woman, that include two cats and one dragon. The woman has pink hair, one of man has black hair with scar on his face, and other man is-" "Blond hair... Dragneels. Igneel will be useful to get my hands on that diamond key." Talia finished like she already figured out, then curled her lips. Lucky begin to have a bad feeling as his precognition ended, he look spooked. "What are those League of Assassins doing there in Veronica? I have a bad feeling about this." He thought about the Dark Guild, yet begin to have a bad feeling. The old man turned his head and pointing at the direction. "He is mostly spotted at the where the ritual of young woman suppose to be burn alive. Be careful, he is made out of fire." He gave them the direction where Eclair was suppose to be burn alive. Neel and Nashi looked at the direction, then exchange glance, knowing Lucy was a close friend with Eclair until her death. Neel looked at the old man with a smile, yet his sadness in his eyes. "Thank you old man, but fire won't hurt us!" He replied cheerfully and he headed off to the ritual spot. Nashi thanked the old man, and followed Neel.
At the suppose the ritual sacrifical spot, the scarlet hair young man was staring at the spot where Eclair nearly burnt alive. He heard about the so called phoenix, so he chuckled about the poser. He can hear the footsteps, but he didn't turned around. "Are you Taiyang? The Rooster Zodiac?" Neel asked him as he stopped. The young man lifted his flaming iris and black sclera, he turned around to see blond hair teenage boy holding white coated cat, behind him was pink hair young woman holding blue coated cat, and black hair young man with burnt scar on his left eye and a red eastern dragon. He stared at the three Dragneels like he was studying them, then he widen his eyes and smirked. "You all must be Dragneel Siblings. I heard so much about you, especially you two, Heartfilia's descendant. You people are quite famous in Celestial Spirit World." He said, he heard about them, noted Nashi and Neel as descendant of Heartfilia. Gypsy widen her eyes, and looked at Dragneels. "Are you all famous in Celestial Spirit World?" She asked them. Nashi looked at Gypsy as she looked embarrassed. "You could say that, especially they all know we treated Celestial Spirits as equal." She replied. "To answer your question, Igneel... Yes I am Taiyang the Vermillion Bird. Known as the Phoenix, Vermilion Bird of the South, One of Four Symbols, and Rooster Zodiac. My friends called me Tai for short." He confirmed his name, he looked at Neel's key holder, then he frown to notice Diamond of the Rabbit Key. His flaming eyes shifted back to Neel. "So you found that moon rabbit before me huh." He noted Yue's key. Neel remembered Soothsayer's warning and Yue's backstory, he gulped. "I didn't know before I was warned by Soothsayer and Yue told me how you two hated each other, and your backstory." He argued. Taiyang stared at Neel, then his flaming aura raising. "We are quite opposite, but you people aren't only one who wanted to challenge to claim the ownership of my diamond key." He said and mentioned others, leaving Dragneels and Gypsy, except for Lucky as he put the pieces together figured out, looked confused. "Who?" "Miss. Talia and League of Assassins are there, my vision came and it looks like they are using us to get their hands on Mr. Taiyang's Diamond Key, and no one cannot defeat him." He revealed his precognition, yet warned them about League of Assassins are in Veronica. Dragneels and Gypsy were in shock, yet Nashi used her hearing as a dragon because League of Assassins were up to no good. "Are you going to challenge me to claim the ownership of my diamond key and become sifu, Igneel Dragneel?" Taiyang spoken out to Neel. Neel looked at him, he set Gypsy down and grinned by punching his fist against his palm, and activating his dual gauntlet. "I won't call it ownership, you and I will fight together as friends will do. There is no way I won't let Ra's and his daughter's murderous dark guild use you to do burn every single living alive for their dumb ideal! However, I will accept your challenge Taiyang!" He shouts that he's ready. Taiyang widen his eyes, then he looked amuse, yet his chi made out of the fire flared up. "You are quite interesting kid, if only Master Oogway meets you. Very well, the challenge is to try to defeat me." He said and take the stance. Mentioning Oogway, leaving Nashi and Neel puzzled. "Oogway?"

Taiyang lifted his scarlet eyes towards Mick, talking about him and Yue working together like unison raid. He rolled his eyes, he never liked her because she was the moon. Neel grinned and he clashed his fists together to activated his dual gauntlet: Meteor. "I'm fired up!" He shouts, then he and Taiyang start fighting. "Who is this Oogway!?" "That is Master Oogway to you." Taiyang corrected him, then they backed away and run towards each other to random location, while rapidly throwing punches and kicking with fire. Sadly, each time either Neel or Taiyang throws a physical attack send them through the buildings or destroyed.
"How did Cecil see in her, after he found out she's Ra's al Ghul's daughter?" Nashi asked herself about how Cecil Oblivion had a relationship with Talia. Lucky started to transform into human form, with cat ears and tail. "Like every time he said Ms. Talia isn't that bad despite she is member of the dark guild." He said in annoyance and picked up his younger sister, and placed her on his shoulder. Gupsy was shaken and holding on to her big brother's shoulder. Just as Mick slammed his hands on the ground to turn pavement into lava. The League of the Assassins were drawn out, including Talia. Nashi scowled at Ra's daughter, who in return snickered and draw her sword. "I will take that compliment from your cat, Nashi." There is no way we will let you get you or your own daddy's killer hands on Taiyang!" Nashi yelled at her. Talia and rest of the assassins were shocked, however Talia's green eyes laid on Lucky. She spoken in old demon language. "How did you know we are getting that Phoenix?" "Lucky's meta-wizard made him saw us through his precognition." She said about Lucky's meta-wizard ability caused his precognition able to see both future and past. "D*mn that cat." the female assassin glared at Lucky. Nashi face palmed, Talia and Ra's knew about Fairy Tail and Triple Goddess have few Meta-Wizards and knowledge of each mages because Cecil dated Talia before his found out she is part of Dark Guild and who was her father. "That doesn't matter, hold them off until Igneel defeat Taiyang and I will get my hand on Gate Key of the Rooster. Do not kill them, I can't let my beloved and his younger twin brother declare war on our League. Kill the civilians or the knights, if they interfere." "Oh like Mick, Azazel, Lucky, Gypsy, and I will let your own daddy use Taiyang to kill everyone, or use everyone in Veronica as hostage!" Nashi shouted in anger, and she grabbed the gate key of the crab. She placed the gate key of crab on her chest. "Star Dress: Cancer Form!" She chanted to changed her wardrobe to Cancer Form, she is holding twin blades in reverse grip. Lucky sprouted his wing and flew up. "If you want Taiyang, you better get through us!" Nashi yelled in anger. Talia smirked at two Dragneels. "I will glad to test your strength, grandchildren of fire dragon king." She taunted before the League of the Assassins, Nashi, and Lucky charge each other to clash both blades, and as for Lucky kicked at each assassins' face.
Nashi and Talia were clashing their blades, however Talia blocked Nashi's Cancer's scissor blades as the blades continue to spark. "Tell me Ember Celica, how is Cecil doing?" "Grrrr! Will you ever shut up, and stop asking me about Cecil!" Nashi angrily shouted at her before she push her away. Even she was aware, despite Cecil and Talia had on and off relationship because of their different views they both disagreed, Cecil cared about Talia and wanted her to leave League of Assassin to be better person than becoming merciless assassin, or at least disband for good. He even said, if anyone get in conflict with League of Assassins, he and his younger siblings will each deal with them. She trusted his judgement towards Talia, but she didn't trust her and her own twisted father. Talia frowned in displeased expression, she raised her sword. "Stubborn girl." She called Nashi stubborn, but... "Blue Moon!" Lucky shouted his own mother's White Moon version by delivering axe kick to Talia's head. This results of Talia to slam down against the concrete street to create the rumble. Nashi lowered two pair of scissor blades, and look back, all of League of Assassins were taken care of. She sighed in annoyance. "I can't believe that nerve of Ra's sending his own daughter to retrieve Taiyang's key, so he and his assassins to kill everyone, who are corrupted and anyone get in their way. Can the things get anything worse?" She complains to deal with Ra's al Ghul's assassins. All of sudden, the blast of fireballs were slammed against two buildings, leaving them in destruction. Nashi and Lucky with Gypsy looked to Nashi's right. Sadly, like Natsu... Neel was in the middle of havoc with a wide signature grin and laughed it off with his arms crossed, and Taiyang was defeated. The residents were distraught and shocked. "Looks like I win!" He excitedly said, like nothing happen, while Taiyang groaned. "I... yield." He mumbled, yet in pain. Only reaction Neel got from his older sister and two Exceeds were gravely shocked, not just the fight, but sees the some buildings were destroyed by Neel and Taiyang's fight, mostly from Neel's reckless fight.

Neel looked at Mick after tell him off, he began to whine... childishly. "Taiyang keeps flying around, and I was chasing him by my sword horn." He whines, describing Taiyang's flight ability, while Neel keeps chasing him by head butt. Nashi and the Exceeds looked at Neel for a few second, only Nashi looked around the disasters. "You and Taiyang's challenge cost us losing all of rewards." She commented to her youngest brother. "Aww, no fish." Gypsy whines to think about not having a fish as she slumped her shoulder. "At least, Mr. Ras al Ghul won't get his hands on Mr. Taiyang's diamond gate key, once we all escape with Mr. Taiyang." Lucky added to look in the bright side. Nashi, Neel, and Gypsy had to agree with Lucky, excluding Neel, Dragneels, Exceeds and Azazel took down League of Assassins.
Just as Azazel consumes all of fire left by Taiyang and Neel's challenge, and Mick called them out to escape before the armies will arrive soon. Nashi look down, but no signs of Talia and rest of assassins. She frowned deeply, but she will inform Cecil about his ex-girlfriend. She looked at Mick as she help out Neel carry Taiyang. "Coming!" She hollored, then she and Neel carry semi-conscious Rooster Zodiac to Azazel's back by Neel climbing first, then Nashi lifted Taiyang's arm's up to Neel to set him down, finally Nashi climb up to Azazel's back. The Exceeds flew up, at the same time Lucky reverted back to his cat form.
Taiyang slowly regain his consciousness, then he let off the weakly smug smirk. "Well congrats Neel, you are officially Sifu and owner of my diamond key. Even though you are partnered with that stupid rabbit." He congratulating Neel. Neel and Gypsy looked at Taiyang, however Neel frowned and crossed his arms. "I don't want to be called Sifu, but you call me Igneel, or Neel is mostly common. However, Yue told me that I can't summon you when there are no enemies around." He said as he was against to be called Sifu, rather his spirits call him his real name. Mentioning Yue, Taiyang dropped his smirk and listens to him that he only summon both Yue and Taiyang when it comes to opponents. He slowly sat up and gaze at Neel. "Very well, I can allow you and your older siblings to call me Tai. Your siblings, cats, and dragon took care of those assassins. I can tell their intentions weren't good, even Master Oogway won't show up in front of them." He stated, even allowed them to call him Tai. Speaking of Oogway, this caught Dragneel's attention, even Exceeds. Nashi began to ask. "Master Oogway, was the person, your former contract?" She asked him about mysterious Master Oogway. Taiyang looked at Nashi in shock, then looked at Neel, who was confused. "I don't know who is this Oogway, it's either master or one of the eastern zodiac I haven't discovered, such as: Dog, Rat, and Horse."
