Fairy Tail: The Strongest Fairy (Rewritten Version)

'Y-You… not human!'

'No… I am…!'

'Demon! Monster… why did you do all this!?'

'I-I…'

'If you are not a monster, why you look like that!?'

Mirajane opened her clear sea blue eyes, as she sighs inside her mind, as she recalls that damned dream she just had.

This is not the first time, when she had that damned dream, nor it will be the last time either.

No matter how much Mirajane wanted to forget about that time, those memories of that day will always come back and haunt her.

The day when her and her siblings' hometown, their village was almost destroyed by a Demon. The very same Demon that took the lives of their parents along with many others from the village.

And also the day… when that damned cursed Magic, Take Over manifested within her.

Take Over Magic, the result of her hatred, her will to take away everything from the Demon that took everything from her and her siblings.

A cursed Magic that manifested by her greed and hatred.

It is ironic to say, before the Demon attack, Mirajane was just a kind normal girl, that you could find anywhere.

But that day, when the Demon attacked them, shattered her heart, turned her kindness into ashes.

As all she wanted in the moment of their parents' death, was to take everything away from it, even take its power as her own.

That is the origin of her Take Over Magic, an unique Magic born from greed and hatred, a cursed Magic that can turned the caster into a 'true' monster themselves.

That is the birth of the Majin, the person she has become in those ashes of that despair.

Mirajane who recalled about the painful past, that still haunts her. Only to bury those memories and turned her blue eyes to the incoming town they about to enter via the train they are on.

A town that is known and called by Clover Town.

Clover Town, even if it called a town, it looked more like a massive village, than a town like Magnolia, that looked more like a city, than a town.

Clover is also surrounded by forests and mountains on all sides. No matter how one look at Clover, it looked so normal and peaceful to think it is also one of the most important places in Fiore.

After all, Clover Town, even if it looked so normal, for some reason it has a railway system running through it, unlike many villages or towns will have in this kingdom.

That is because, Clover Town is the neutral grounds for all Legal Guilds in Fiore, it is the place where all Guild Masters of each Legal Guild will come once a month to have their monthly or important meetings.

It also the reason why, when it is common to have a Guild in every town, or many Guilds stationed in cities.

But in Clover Town, it has no Guild due to them being a neutral zone for all Legal Guilds.

Mirajane shows no interest in the town itself, instead, she turned her attention to her siblings, the only people that do mattered to her.

The only people that didn't abandoned her, when she became a monster… and the very same people, who prevented her from leaving Fairy Tail and Magnolia over six months ago.

'Master said it is not a curse! You did not cursed, sister…! You are not a monster, you still our kind elder sister! So don't leave…!'

Lisanna's voice ring in her ears.

At that time, Mirajane wanted to leave everything behind, even her only family at the guild.

Because a 'monster' like herself, has no right to be next to her siblings, to be in that place, called Fairy Tail.

Mirajane knew that old man, Makarov, wouldn't abandoned Lisanna and Elfman, when he said he will not only take them in, but also guide them in using their Magic Power.

Of course, at first, she didn't believe him, but seeing how the old man treated everyone like family, felt heavy to her, but also made her know, her siblings will not be mistreated by the old man, who treated even a nudist, idiotic dragon, and even a talking blue cat as family.

Maybe that is why she finds it uncomfortable around Makarov, as she truly didn't understand why he even treat her the same, why will anyone… be kind to a monster like herself?

'Sis… You can't leave, no one here thinks of you are a monster, this is not the village… if you still believed you are a monster, then teach me Take Over Magic! I wanted to learn it, I will show you… you not a monster, sis… no big sister.'

Elfman who always shy, and blushes so easily, acted so boldly at that time, asking her to teach her cursed Magic, she wanted to refused, but the unusual shy boy acted like a true man.

And Lisanna also requested to learn Take Over Magic as well, made Mirajane unable to refuse.

She to her core, when it comes to these two, she just an elder sister, who cannot refuse when they come to her so seriously.

Mirajane didn't want them to learned this curse, but in the end, she cannot refuse their honest request, being the pushover sister she truly is.

"Sister, are you awake?"

Mirajane turned her gaze from the window when they about to entered Clover Train Station. And turned her head towards her little sister, Lisanna.

"I am, something wrong?" Mirajane askes, as she looked at her young sister.

"Nothing much, it just we about to arrive, Elfman should be back soon, he rushed to the toilet not long ago." Lisanna went, which reminded Mirajane, that she does indeed don't see her younger brother anywhere.

"I see, so, as soon we arrive at the town, you guys went to stay over the night, or get the job done with?" Mirajane went, personally she wanted to get this damned mission over with right away.

But she always listens to her siblings options beforehand, if they want to spent some time in Clover, they welcome to do so.

"Hmm, according to sources, Calla is half a day away from Clover on foot. And the time is already 1300, so we should stay the day in town, and make buy some supplies for the mission?" Lisanna went, as Mirajane nodded.

Unlike herself, her siblings haven't mastered their Take Over Magic yet. This is why, Mirajane could always create her demon wings, and fly to Calla within the next hour.

However, as she can do that, she wouldn't be able to leave her family behind, which caused her to sighed. Knowing this Mission might take days, or maybe even a whole week to found those damned Monsters.

"I am back."

As Mirajane thought of this, a boy that can be mistaken as a giant, came towards. That is no other then Elfman Strauss, who had finished his business, and returned back to his sisters.

"Welcome back brother!" Lisanna went with a smile, greeting Elfman.

"Yeah, I am… oh, sis, you up?" Elfman went, noticing Mirajane is up.

"I am, and it looks we are here." Mirajane only said, when the train finally stopped at the Clover Town's station.

The next day soon came faster as one expected.

When the Strauss Siblings prepared to leave for Calla, due to their luck, a wandering merchant by chance, are heading to Calla.

Agreeing to protect the merchant until they arrive at Calla, the Strauss Siblings hopped onto the carriage to Calla, and arrived at Calla in 3 hours, instead of 8 hours it will take if by foot.

And right now, the three siblings are speaking to the man who spotted the sightings of monster in the village chef's guest living room.

"That all I saw… from the moment I saw those footprints, and the broken trees in that area, I didn't want to remain in that place. From my experience as a former knight, there least a horde of monsters out there… or worse yet, just a single one that caused all that destruction."

Zich went and told the siblings what he saw in the forest, as he looked at the one who speaking with, is no other than Lisanna.

Elfman and Mirajane are not the best kind of options when it comes to talking to their clients. Mirajane being Mirajane often offends their clients in one way or another, like the rebel she is.

Meanwhile, Elfman is not good at talking to strangers, as he often blushes or find himself unable to say a word in front of them.

Causing Lisanna to be the only one among their team to speak to their clients.

"I see, thank you, we will head to the forest right away." Lisanna went with a kind smile.

"You guys sure do not want me to point the way?" Zich went, earning a laughed from Mirajane.

"You will only get in the way, don't bother." Mirajane went in somewhat mocking tone, which caused the other two Strauss to sighed at this.

"Sis…" Elfman shyly went, which Mirajane heard her little brother saying that with worry look, but she chosen to pretend she didn't hear him.

While on the other hand, Lisanna cannot help but to sighed seeing her elder sister like this.

"Sorry about that, mister Zich." Lisanna went with a bitter smile.

"Don't be, she is right, whatever is out there, is clearly something out of my league." Zich went, shaking his head with a smile."

"Okay, let go and do some kick Monsters' asses, so we can return to the guild." Mirajane went, as she got up from her seat, and left, without saying any farewells.

This caused Elfman and Lisanna to apologize to not only Zich, but the village chef and his wife, who greeted them as guests of the village.

As Mirajane walked ahead of Lisanna and Elfman, the two siblings talked among themselves.

"Ever since Erza beat her at the S-Class Trails, she got worse…" Lisanna went with a bitter smile.

"Yeah… but I am sure our elder sister will get over it." Elfman went with a smile, ensuring the worrying Lisanna who smiled back, and nodded.

"I know that. It just, she still has a wall around everyone else besides us. Many don't even know how kind and gentle big sister can be… but since that day, sister hasn't been the same…" Lisanna went with sad smile, which Elfman didn't say a word hearing this.

The day when the village was attacked, around over a half of the villagers were killed by that Demon. Even their parents weren't spared.

This left a scar between the Strauss Siblings, but the one with the deepest scar is no other than Mirajane herself.

Mirajane saved the village with the very same power, that caused the deaths of many villagers.

But even if she saved them, she wasn't thanked putting an end to that nightmare, she was blamed, resented, and hatred by the very people she saved.

Imagine how it must feel, to be blamed for the deaths of their parents, children, and their close friends, when she too were also coping with the lost of her beloved ones.

Instead of understanding, malice was the only thing Mirajane earned from saving those very people, she once closes with.

It was that Demon's fault, and yet, in those eyes, it wasn't the Demon that reflected in those malice and fearful eyes, but herself.

How could the Strauss Siblings even know they have Magic Power flowing within them?

Magic Power only awakens two ways, with the aid of another Wizard. Or in situations where one will experience extreme stress, especially in a death and life situation Mirajane was in, facing that Demon all alone, that caused her Magic, Take Over to manifest in her.

However, because Mirajane was never been taught how to use Magic, she cannot even remove the part transformations on her body due to her newly formed Magic.

So, in a way, this was the true cause of why everyone in the village, besides her own family that are still left, truly thought Mirajane has become a monster, even Mirajane herself think the same, looking at her body that still hasn't turned back to normal.

In the end, Mirajane was chased out of the village, while her siblings, Lisanna and Elfman, unwilling to listen to the villagers trying to hold them back, followed their elder sister, who became a different person overnight.

She is no longer the kind gentle sister, who took care of anyone around her without a word.

As if that Mirajane has died and left a Mirajane who doubted and distrust anyone who is not family.

After all, that is how deep her scars are. The scars of their parents' death, and the scars of the resentment of the villagers, that once was a second family to the Strauss household.

They were a small village, very close to each other.

It is no wonder why, they were close… and that is why it was so painful to be rejected by the very same people, who should cry and comfort the siblings for their lost ones along their own.

Instead, they blamed everything a on child, that no older than 13 years old, leaving the already scarred Mirajane with deeper scars, causing Mirajane to become who she is today.

To her family, they are her everything, but those are not her family. She doesn't want to come close to them, know them, in fear history will repeat itself.

That is why Mirajane created a wall around her, that only opened its gates when it comes to her family, but no one else.

Because Mirajane distrust anyone who is not Elfman and Lisanna, not even herself can be trusted as well, otherwise six month ago, Mirajane will never think of herself as a burden when she tried to leave them behind.

Don't you love human nature?

One moment we bound as one.

And the next we at each other throats.

We are selfish, even the so-called selfless ones are just as selfish as anyone else.

That what makes us human.

We blamed what we cannot understand.

Acknowledge what we can understand.

And as humans, we hate being alone, and that loneliness not always has to be companied by a person to cure it.

We are the most complex, and also simplest among anyone else.

We ruined so many lives.

And saved many lives.

There no such thing as Good.

Nor they such thing as Evil.

In the end, it is us Humans that makes these rules, because we fear what we cannot control.

And what we cannot control is evil.

And what can be controlled is Good.

That is what a Human is.

And that is why, Humans are both ugly and beautiful.

And that is why it is called… Human Nature.
