Chapter 10: Fairy 10: Fairy Tail, and Monster Sighting – Part 5
"Oi! What's keeping you two?"
Seeing no one following behind, a confuse look appeared on Mirajane's face, when she looked at Elfman and Lisanna some distance away from her.
"C-Coming!" Elfman went, with a slight blush due to being caught off guard, while Lisanna smiled and followed after them.
And before the siblings knew it, they arrived at the entrance of forest.
The forest didn't look anything different from any forest the trio has seen before. And by using the map given to them, they begin to made their way towards the lake.
According to a hunter that is known as Zich, the monster sighting place seems to overlap with the route they had to use to reach the hut in the forest.
It didn't take the trio long to reach the place, that Zich told them about. However, the moment they reach the place, where the supposed Monsters were sighted, the sight before them shocked the siblings seeing the complete mess before them.
"This… looks like some kind of warzone." Mirajane went, looking at the chaotic mess before them, that truly looked like a battlefield.
So many trees before the trio that are either snapped or shattered into pieces. And if that wasn't enough, even the ground hasn't left undamaged, as there are so many holes in the ground, making it appear a horde of Monsters happened to pass by this place, often at that.
And yet, these so-called Monsters's tracks, there something felt off about them, which is why Mirajane's sea blue eyes narrowed, as she looked at the many holes before them.
"Lisanna, Elfman, you guys also feel something off about these holes?" Mirajane asked them this.
"H-Holes…? You mean the Monsters' tracks? What about them…?" Elfman askes, as he looked at the many holes with slight confusion, but he indeed noticed something off about them.
These monsters' tracks, not all are in the same sizes. Of course, this not to take too seriously, this only tell two things. One they more than one kind of Monster here, or the Monsters that made these marks, might not be all the same age, like children and adults among them.
Of course, if it were really many different types of Monsters, it strange how comes all of them have the same footmarks, no matter the size, tells it is the second option Elfman can think of.
And yet… there also another thing to note about these markings.
They are too oddly spread apart. Some short, and some very long, it seems odd for many footmarks to be so spread apart, and yet, these unknown Monsters can just have stupidly long legs.
On the other hand, Lisanna looked inside one of the holes near her, only to have her sea blue eyes to widen, as something is off about it.
"Sister, brother, had you two seen what inside them?" Lisanna called out to her brother and sister, who looked at Lisanna pointing at the hole before her.
"Nothing seems wrong… right?" Elfman went to the closest holes or footmarks near him and noticed all of them the same.
However, it is different story to Mirajane, whose blue eyes narrowed, when she looked at the content of t he marking before her, she even went closer to it and went on her knees before the hole nearest her.
"You are right, Lisanna… something is very wrong with these holes, they are not footsteps. If they are… these footsteps should be compressed due to their weight… and yet, instead of these holes being compressed… if anything…"
Mirajane halted her answer, as she put her hand in hole, only to feel the lumpy like sand surface, before she grabs a hold of this remains of the earth in her free hand.
"These holes are completely destroyed from the inside… as if this is done by Magic, a Magic that shattered the earth to this state." Mirajane went letting the remains of the sand or whatever it is pass through her fingers.
"You… mean this is done by a Wizard?" Elfman askes with an uneasy look.
"Most likely." Mirajane told.
"What we do? If it really a Wizard like us?" Lisanna the one who askes this.
"Simple, we just have to 'ask' them why they doing this. Simple as that." Mirajane went with a smirk, causing Lisanna to sighed, knowing her true intentions are.
To Mirajane it doesn't matter if they are either a Legal or Illegal Wizard (Dark Wizard). None of this mattered to this white haired rebel, that just wanted an excuse to blew off some stress she has been having lately.
And it will be more perfect if the other party involve with this mess, is truly a Monster or a Dark Wizard. That meant Mirajane doesn't have to hold back dealing with them.
But with a Legal Wizard like themselves?
Mirajane can always use the excuse of a suspicious individual, to round them up a little.
"Sister… shouldn't we… you know talk to them peacefully?" Elfman went.
"Big brother is right, we don't know the other party's situation, or why they did this? Maybe there is a reason behind all of this?" Lisa went.
One being timid, and the other being too kind. Mirajane cannot help to sighed at her soft hearted siblings.
"Fine, have it your two ways. However, once they try anything funny, I am going to beat the living lights out of them, got it?" Mirajane went with a fed up and tired expression, looking at the duo, who smiled at her remark.
When this matter of the treatment towards the unknown Wizard is settled, Mirajane looked around them once again, only to noticed among the mess of this part of the forest. There also seems to be a series of bare human shaped footmarks all over the place.
They barely can be seen, among the holes that many times bigger than mere human sized and shape feet marks.
"Oh, it seems this got a lot easier, Lisanna turned to your dog form, faster with deal with this fucker, faster we can get out of this damned forest." Mirajane askes along with a smirk on her lips, when she said that.
(AN: Should I cover up the swears? Or just leave it as is?)
"On it!" Lisanna went, as she uses her Take Over Magic.
Unlike her elder sister version of Take Over Magic, that allows to turned her body to Demons she knew and use their abilities. Or even collect their 'souls' and turned into them as well.
In Lisanna's case, her Take Over Magic doesn't turned part of her body, or the whole of the body into a Demon, but an animal, which is why her Take Over Magic is also known as Animal Soul.
And also the reason, when a flash of light appeared over Lisanna, once the light faded, she no longer appeared as the young and beautiful young white haired girl she once were.
But as a white flurry dog, that still shares the same blue eyes as before.
While in her dog form, Lisanna didn't waste any time, and right away uses her nose as a dog, to pick up the scent of the place Mirajane pointed at.
It didn't took the oversized puppy long before the scent were picked up. However, halfway sniffing around, Lisanna halted her actions, as she turned towards her elder sister, Mirajane.
"I got the scent Sister… but we got a problem." Lisanna went in her dog form, as she still capable of speaking normally even in her changed form.
"What it is?" Mirajane askes, as Elfman also pay attention to this.
"The scent I just picked up… they heading this way." When Lisanna told this in a serious tone. Elfman seemed to panic, knowing the one who caused this mess, seems to be heading this way.
That is why, without thinking, Elfman tried to use his version of Take Over Magic, but Mirajane, who saw through her little brother's nervousness, prevented him doing so.
"Don't. Whoever is coming, don't knew we are here, so lets us hide, and caught them off guard." Mirajane went, as the duo nodded at their sister's plan.
As Lisanna returned back to her human from, the trio hidden themselves behind the trees that hasn't been shattered or snapped into pieces.
And before long, as the trio focuses their blue eyes behind their snow white hairs, they awaited for the incoming Monster or Wizard to come into the light of their vision.
The wait wasn't long, as someone came out of the sea of trees, and entered the chaotic mess, that looked like some kind of battlefield how messy it is.
When Mirajane and her siblings saw the one who Lisanna has picked up on their scent. The trio blink their clear sea blue eyes several times, when they saw that appeared to be a person.
From the moment Mirajane, Elfman as well Lisanna saw the person they are hiding from, their minds all became blank, as they just blankly stared at the stranger came before their sea blue eyes.
One might question, why the three Strauss siblings suddenly found themselves unable to think properly, as if their minds stopped progressing anything, from the moment their eyes rest on the young teenager boy, that appeared around their age.
The teen in question, is tall for his age, but still short compared to someone like Elfman who just gigantic for his own age.
Even so, the boy with the mistaken as black hair, but actual a midnight blue coloured hair, and green eyes, is just taller compared to most around his age.
Of course, while the boy or young teenager might be handsome, but the boy in question is not some divine level beauty that causes the minds of others, no matter the gender to prevent them from working, like the trio here.
And yet, as this wasn't the reason why the trio's minds became blank, the fact both Mirajane and Lisanna's faces are become redder by the moment, is suspiciously so.
And the sisters are not the only ones whose faces are blushing, even Elfman has a blush, but unlike his sisters, his face also drained from colour, becoming pale for a whole different reason.
Especially when he saw that 'monster' that the whole world can see.
That is right, the Strauss can see everything.
From the lean formed muscles, from the two cheeks that must not be mentioned, as they can be blinding as the sunlight shined on them. And there is the 'monster' between the boy in question's legs.
A 'monster' that anormal in size, however, only one who will know that, is Elfman who the first one to recover out of the Strauss trio, as he hurried to Lisanna's side, and covered her eyes, but it is already too late.
Lisanna already seen everything that has to offer.
That is right, the boy in question is naked, a naked boy stood in the middle of the so-called battlefield looking forest, looking as if the young teenager has no shame at all, as he stood with a bright smile, unaffected by the fact he has nothing but his birthday suit on.
It is no wonder why Lisanna mind went blank, seeing something like that for the first time, causing her young undeveloped mind to froze.
Elfman on the other hand, maybe has his mind frozen at first, but he felt a great sense of defeat seeing something that shouldn't belong to someone around their age, right?
And Mirajane?
No matter how much of a rebel she is, she still a maiden at heart. Someone who only seen that kind of thing a long time ago, when she and Elfman used to share the bath with their long pass father.
But that was back then, and here is right now, as when Mirajane saw the 'monster', her mind went blank, her heart quickly beaten, her cheeks redden, not due to the affection of love.
But pure complete embarrassment.
No matter how much of a rebel she is, how can her heart and eyes can handle such a sight? And now her clear sea blue eyes became tainted from the sight of the thing before her.
And when she realised, she is not the only one who saw this as well.
Mirajane can feel her embarrassment turned to boiling rage, when she realised Lisanna is next to her, who also has her eyes tainted by this pervert!
That is why, Mirajane no longer cared about their plan of hiding, before they begin to upfront the cause of this Mission. Instead, the only thing Mirajane wanted right now is beat the living lights out of the pervert that tainted not just her eyes, but her little sister as well.
"You shameless pervert! You Gray 2.0! How dare you flash that thing around!!"
Mirajane roared in rage, as she uses her Take Over Magic to turned her arms and legs into demonic claws and legs, as she blasted off the ground with a great blasting force.
And rapidly ran towards the damned naked pervert!

Yep, Zack been naked all this time, if you read the original fanfic, you should had expect this~
Not to say, do you think someone who is completely clueless, will know what clothing are?
Remember Zack's mental age is no different to a five year old, thrown in the world he knew nothing about, complete naked, with nothing but his whole body.
Only thing he was given was how to survive, because God knows he will die right away, since Zack is no different to a blank sheet of paper, as he truly knew nothing.
Also a fair warning, you might or might not find MC annoying personality wise, he be somewhat better after chapter 19, but remember, currently he is completely no different to a newborn or a child who is mentally 5 years old.
