Knights & Fairies (FT/RK)

(First few posts will be short and sweet, just the Rune Knights arriving to the Fairy Tail Guilde entrance. After the intro, we'll expand from there.)

It was the early evening of a Spring day, and the streets were filled with the loud chatter of residents of Magnolia Town, bars were packed with druken sailors and the bathhouses filled with people of diverse appearances coming to relax after a long, hard, backbreaking day of working, whether it be the work of a wizard or running a sweets' shop, either paid the bills. But there were a particular group of people roaming these streets tonight, and it was the Rune Knights. It was a rather large patrol team, and none of them, to his knowledge, gathered together for a 'patrol' without an occasion.

Amongst this group, walked Isaac Anicetus. A B-class ReQuip wizard who had been working nonstop ever since he aligned himself with the law. Stoic, hardworking, and merciless when it comes to enforcing the justice in his acts. According to what he has seen, there weren't many notable Rune Knights of his power that found themselves actively doing their job, and the thought pestered him like a fly for several days. He eventually ended up doing most of the simple jobs himself, not that it was hard. It could just get tiring at times.

But, today was a special occasion. The group had been headed for the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, with intentions of briefly stationing there for the evening to freshen up and gain information. For the time being, Isaac walked in silence, leading the group to the gates serving as the entrance to the guild. And within long moments, they arrived at the front. "We're here. Please prepare yourself accordingly to the people we may meet. As a reminder, we are only here to rehabilitate our stamina, amongst other things... until then, do not arm yourselves unless necessary."

Among the small squadron that had been picked for this assignment was one particular new recruit whose eyes were wide in awe. Since coming to Fiore from Minstrel, Rosaline had been determined and desperate to get out into the field and see what this flourishing country of magic truly looked like. Sure she'd heard stories - Fiore had a lot of history to it, some of it being rather recent that had still managed to reshape it once again - but nothing compared to seeing the sights and towns with her own eyes. The myriad of people walking around Magnolia Town for example was something that couldn't be explained through words alone.

"Ah la vache! Is it always so busy in this country?" she asked aloud somewhat unintentionally, but still expecting an answer nonetheless. She and the company around her were struggling to weave through the crowds of people around them, yet this didn't deter the young Rune Knight in the slightest. In fact the buzz was proving to be infectious, filling her with a renewed sense of curiosity. Sure she'd seen streets like this in Minstrel. But in Minstrel there were always Musketeers around, and things just seemed much more regimented. It was in their genes afterall. But here it felt so much more...free? Perhaps that wasn't the best word, but it was certainly viable given the comparison.

Rosaline snapped back to reality immediately as a voice cut through the hubbub of the masses. It was Isaac, a Knight who'd taken charge of this group despite him only recently joining the forces himself. Rosaline noted his authoritative tone and nodded in response to his orders. Unfortunately she only understood half of the sentence and soon lost herself in new thoughts of what the remaining words meant. Do not 'arm'? she questioned as she looked down at her arms and gave them a little wiggle. Then I shall not move them. With that, the young lady looked up at the building before her and returned to taking in the differences in architecture compared to that which she was used to. This was proving to be quite the informative assignment, much to her delight!

The Fairy Tail guild was absolute jam packed on a beautiful Spring Day like this. Beer mugs clanked against one another, spilling in the air. As girls leaned on walls talking amongst one another. Arm wrestling matches galore, stories being told, wizards returning from grand jobs, some S-Ranked with items of wonder or heads of monstrous beasts slammed onto a table for all to see.

Sitting on the stage, Heero looked out against the Guild Hall, smiling contently to himself as he saw a group of young kids, recognizing one of them as a wizard of Fairy Tail. He watched him show off to his friends from Magnolia, most of them probably regular humans visiting their friends after hearing he'd been accepted at Fairy Tail.

"Takes you back huh?" Rose said as she stood next to Heero on the stage as usual. He would blink a few times, and blush, remembering his first day as a Fairy Tail wizard. Nodding solemnly, he didn't answer her only continued to smile to himself as he looked down out of happiness.

As the doors to the Guild were flung open for the hundredth time in ten minutes, no one batted an eye until someone yelled.

"COPS!" as a mad scramble in the Guild ensued, people running and crashing into one another. Some stashing some very illegal contraband at the sight of the Rune Knights. As the scramble continued just as Kanix had greeted the Rune Knigths at the gate; the rest of Isaac's battallion arrived.

The second they stepped foot in Fairy Tail, regardless of their orders. All they saw was boobs, ass, and more ass barely clad in anything as girls wore what they want.

Within a split second; there were Rune Knights divided all around the crowd of Fairy Tail, sitting at tables with girls who pinched their cheeks and hugged them from behind and the sides; chests up against them. Women did love men in uniform. And it seemed the women of Fairy Tail were about halfway as smitten as the male Rune Knights themselves. The younger men of the Rune Knights soaked it up, the older ones, probably married still enjoyed themselves; a few even slipped their rings off after realizing how jam packed with hot chicks this place was.

Heero absolutely died laughing and sparkling at the sight before him as Rose slapped him in the back of the neck; and nodded toward the entrance, where Isaac and a young woman clad in armor with a large spear was seen; both of them Rune Knights from the official symbols they'd carry here and there. Sighing as he rubbed the back of his neck; he made his way through the crowd of Fairy Tail wizards, normal humans requesting jobs and visiting, and Rune Knights, now having a good time.

"Hey! Clean that kitchen out! Make sure these guys eat good! Nachos and wings sound alright to start?!" Heero yelled as he approached Isaac, Kanix and Rosaline's position.

With a loud "oooooooooooooooooi!" the Rune Knights raised the mugs they'd been given by Fairy Tail waitresses already as food began to roll out from the kitchens carried by several hot Mirajane's.

As he stopped in front of the three of them, he would smile at Kanix with a loving smile that one gave their mother, sister, or grandmother everyday; but the look didn't last long as Heero turned and raised an eyebrow at Isaac. The first time they'd made eye contact.

"So....your men seem pleased? After you eat you leave?" his voice was slightly serious, as he partially treated them like this to keep good relations between the Council and Fairy Tail going; although the hatred between the two afformented was at a boiling point. Perhaps this visit was a good thing. "Or are you guys actually here to enjoy yourselves....is that allowed? Do Rune Knights do that?"

Heero being a smart ass would look to Kanix, grinning as he said the last bit.

"Only kidding......welcome to Fairy Tail. Heero Reyold....God of Ishval, 5th Master of Fairy Tail." he would extend a hand to Isaac, and after shaking it; he would turn to the woman and make eye contact with her.

For some reason, he felt extremely uneasy around this woman. As her armor was clearly fashioned like Dragons, and her spear, was a type of spear Heero knew was used to kill his brethren. As a human who used the magic of Dragons, he felt a kin to them. And although he was called a Dragon Slayer, he was in fact raised by them. He even could turn into a giant Dragon now he'd grown so powerful. After staring her down intensely, without even moving his mouth; he'd look away from Rosaline.

"You are?"

As Isaac continued to break down the situation at hand, the camera would switch to Rose's point of view. She currently was flying downard onto a table near Heero and Kanix' location. As she landed, the Exceed would look up at the man swishing her tail back and forth.

"We both know that Rune Knight law doesn't permit that...you'd need proof that we have relations with illegal wizards and guilds. Not to mention you'd need to make sure that we weren't in the middle of some plan to bring a few wizards up out of the dark ways of necromancy or something else..." Rose put one paw on her hip and smartly raised another slightly. "Sounds to me it's more like your superiors, or maybe just your unit...or maybe just you...want information that Fairy Tail has." the cat was smart, almost to smart. She knew every protocol in the book.

The connections that Heero and Fairy Tail knew, even about past events. Or secrets of magic. Were legion, but Fairy Tail was a guild of magical secrets. Any information about dark wizards or old wizards who'd already been taken care of shouldn't matter that much.

"Well Commander Anticetus. Sorry to disappoint you, but the only relation I've had with dark wizards or guilds is---the relation to the distance between my foot and their asses." Heero made a side swiping motion with his foot, uncrossing his arms as he talked. "Even the council knows that." Heero's eyes would narrow at Isaac. Who probably knew that Heero was the wizard who could level mountains ranges and kingdoms within a moment if he so chose too, even fly through the galaxy and cosmos at his own will. He wouldn't take his eyes off of Isaac. "Rose is right....This visit isn't even sanctioned by the Council is it....." Heero would raise an eyebrow, as he realized that Isaac and his personal unit were looking for info, doing their Job. Like Rune Knights should.

Over the awkward silence between them, the background and ambient noise kicked in.

As he looked around and saw the damned cops having a good time amongst them, Heero couldn't help but to bite the bullet and try too at least give him another chance; due to him being exactly one second away from removing them all from the premises just by warping them all in a blast of lightning miles back to Era.

"Well, what is it you want to know? For some reason, I think you and your unit are special...not like the other Rune Knights yea?" Heero would extend a fistbump to Isaac, a ritual of brotherhood. As he pounded his fist, he would shake Isaac's hand properly as gentleman, being about the same height and build. Isaac being a bit taller and bulkier but not much. "I'll answer three questions, and I assume Kanix can do the same?"

Even though this probably was just Isaac digging for his own personal Unit, he hoped anything they told Isaac would be kept by his unit and his unit alone, not the entire Council. Heero knew a ton of secrets about the Dark Guilds, dating back to even their foundings. Some things he'd probably keep to himself. Unless he was asked in a way that made him trust Isaac even more.

Rose would swish her tail at Isaac with her arms crossed, but her tail would stop moving as the Exceed raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you get three questions from both of them, so start talking. If you weren't so damn handsome I'd have chopped ya long ago~" Rose flirted as Heero shot her a look. The Exceed was nearly, if not as powerful as Heero himself and classed as H-Rank, perhaps an even more skilled swordsman than one that had ever walked Earthland, as she was from Edolas like all Exceeds. She would look Isaac up and down, inspecting the woman in the dragon-like armor, and giving her a huge smile, blushing a bit and waving. Rose had a certain respect for girl warriors, or feminine heroines who risked it all at times. She had no idea that her name, and this young lady's name; were nearly identical as they hadn't been nitroduced yet.

"Sacré bleu!"

The sheer sight of the ladies in this guild was enough to make Rosaline flush bright red. She couldn't tell if it was a lack of shame or a lack of fear that allowed them to dress so scantily - assuming some of the outfits could be classed as being 'dressed' at all. For the briefest of moments she completely lost her composure, looking away before immediately looking back in a somehow more shocked fashion than her initial reaction as all of the men within the Rune Knight's little group had bolted into the guild without a care in the world. So this is what the men of Fiore like... she thought to herself before shaking her head. It was only then that her thoughts turned back to what was happening just feet in front of her.

In the short time she'd been distracted a young man had approached her and her commanding officer. His blue hair and the flowing scarf behind him were striking of course, but it wasn't that which gripped her attention. Hell, nothing would bleach her mind of all the girls she'd just seen within this guildhall. No, it was his aura that caught her attention the most. While he walked like a typical young man would be expected to, it was the way he held himself and the power that exuded from him that caught her attention.

She allowed the man and his strange cat creature to speak to Isaac without her interruption for a short time - even when Heero came across as somewhat threatening. She knew better than to lash out at the first sign of aggression, no matter how much she really didn't want to be here now. It was only once the Guildmaster of Fairy Tail mentioned that the council didn't sanction this visit that Rosaline finally spoke up. "Excusez-moi Monsieur Reyold..." Her accent immediately caught the attention of some of the male population of the Fairy Tail guild, and she could hear whispers mentioning her being from Minstrel - among other things - quite clearly. She closed her eyes and sighed before opening them again, a certain fire in them that even Isaac couldn't have seen coming. "...you are correct. We are not here on Council orders, nor are we here for your...how do you...OH! your hos-pi-tal-it-ee, as nice as it is that you have welcomed our men with open arms." She made a point of mentioning how only the men had bolted in, and how she and Isaac had remained stalwart within the doorway. "The Council do not act. They hide like cowards. This land - Fiore - once flourished while kept in check by them. Mais, acts such as the one we are investigating are now left unchecked. Désolé, you are right. We act outside of the Council's orders, but only to ensure the safety of Fiore's citizens."

Her words were as concise as she could make them given she was still learning some of the language and it was difficult not to leak some of her own language into the sentences. But while her words may have been somewhat difficult to understand in places, her tone remained unwavering. She looked to Isaac with confidence. It was true that the two hadn't spoken once since he'd asked her to travel here with him, but she could feel that same drive in him as she had. She returned her attention to Rose and Heero. "Je m'ap-....My name is Rosaline Magnolia. Désolés...I am sorry for speaking out of turn."

The conversation was pretty pleasant to be honest, as Rosaline spoke; Heero would look over her. Her fierceness, it was attractive and it made him miss Alyia even more than he did every second that went by without her being there. Though he'd never admit it. Blushing at her french accent a bit, he would raise an eyebrow. Realizing she was from Minstrel.

"That may be true.....but I'd still like to know the exact reason...." he said to Rosaline, glancing at her once as he did. As Isaac spoke, he realized that he did in fact have a good soul; and was working toward something greater, like Heero himself. However, he seemed to be consumed with passion towards this goal, which could be both good and bad. Only time would tell. "Well it is true that the Council has taken a more hands off approach to things as of late....the Rune Knights only show up when it's time to clean up the bodies, they used to make sure the bodies didn't pile up....." he thought of how the Rune Knights under Count Sparrow, the last Chairman. Upheld justice and vigilance, always patrolling every town, and nodding their hats at citizens like good ol boys, like Sheriff's were supposed too. "Since Lucien Sparrow stepped down.....it's like they stopped caring about their duties, but then again, this could just be a setup."

As if by fate, Kanix seemed to echo his last sentiments; talking with vigor and passion as she questioned their right to even be here off of Council orders. Even going so far as to threaten the guys life. Which caused Heero to smirk a little bit. As she held no fear toward the law, something that was almost required of every Fairy Tail wizard.

"Family?" Heero asked, wanting to know more about the subject that Kanix breached on, before inhaling and exhaling. "That is a very open ended question...as Fairy Tail wizards we encounter Dark Wizards, and deal with Dark Wizards more than any other legal Guild most likely....not to mention the Jobs our wizards go on."

He would talk as Kanix pointing her staff at the chest of Rosa had everyone on end, even the Rune Knights in the crowd moved some of the girls off of their arms and rejoined Rosa and Isaac, flanking them with at least fifty, and a dozen more spread about the crowd. As tensions began to rise, noise began to leave.

"The last time I had an encounter with any Dark Guild of importance, was a year ago. Two Ex-Fairy Tail wizards, Rita Stebern, and Daiki. Joined a Dark Guild known as Basilisk Fang, I'm sure you've heard of it. Rita actually managed to take over the Guild from the inside, and goes by Famine now; acting as it's Guildmaster." Heero would rub a hand on his chin. "Although rumor has it that Daiki has left the Guild...or had a falling out with Rita of some sort." she would look to Kanix, referring to her recent encounters with Daiki. Although he wouldn't say everything he knew to a bunch of cops. Although he was beginning to trust Isaac more and more by looking at him.

"Although, the Council or Rune Knights hasn't helped Fiore with shit as of late...and it would be satisfying to watch Kanix blast Rosa through a window right now...." Heero would lower Kanix' staff with a single finger. "It would be better if we avoided that........" as Heero said this, he noticed Magnus walk past everyone in the Guild, whistling and acting suspicious. Heero knew he had a huge stash of Miracle Weed down below stashed near the Guild Pool, as he would comically sweatdrop as Magnus continued downstairs without even engaging. "....." he didn't say anything, since Heero would sometimes smoke with Magnus when he felt he needed too.

"OK! Everyone calm down!" Rose would say, waving her paws up and down. "Look............we know a lot about every Dark Guild. What could it hurt to share?" Rose would swish her tail. "Well, Heero already told you about Basilisk Fang, they were about to murder Kanix, splash her blood against the wall like she was worthless...Heero stepped in and saw more in her than just whatever she was....Basilisk Fang does have a Dragon Slayer with them, named Sol. He used Poison." Rose would then pat a paw on her face and look up thinking. "Savage Skull has been pretty much destroyed.......I'm not sure if they are still bouncing back from everything they've been through. Their first Guildmaster was killed by Heero, their second Lord Frederik is now acting master of Sabertooth....make of that what you will." she would shrug.

"Nice name by the way." she would say, looking to Rosa and winking. Rose would then fly up and land on Kanix' shoulder. "Come on now Kanix, let's find out what they can do for us shall we?" Rose said in a bid to calm Kanix down. Since Kanix and Rose were close, like sisters Kanix would understand that now the tables had turned; and before as a Basilisk Fang wizard; hell would freeze over before the Rune Knights themselves were pulling favors for her. Now, however, as a famous Fairy Tail wizard; which she now was as most Fairy Tail wizards were...she could flip the script on the Rune Knights. "So, what exactly do we get out of telling you any of this?" Rose would say, raising an eyebrow.

A cold shoulder, or a nothing would result in the end of trust between Fairy Tail and the Rune Knights. Heero would remain silent making a 'well?' face with his arms crossed. For some reason his eyes would settle on Rosa again, although this time he looked less aggressive or apprehensive, and more like his normal self.

Everyone else seemed to calm down for the most part, as the Rune Knights went back to flirting amongst the crowd, leaving Isaac's side once they understood the situation. Heero would cross his arms, and look from Rosa to Rose. Smiling a bit.

"Well if we're all gonna be friends now, then all that was for nothing. Ain't it funny that people gotta act tough when they first meet someone...even I do it, I guess it's just human nature." he kept his arms crossed still, as Magnus suddenly returned to their sides. Heero gave him a look with both eyebrows raised that asked one question only 'is it safe?' as Magnus would take up a position next to him.

A wizard with amazing potential, should he ever get serious about the Jobs he was on. Heero smiled at him, still unmoving from his usual arms crossed standing position.

"Magnus, meet Isaac. He's with the Rune Knights...although I'm sure you've gathered thaaaaat much." Heero said a brotherly tone in his voice as he spoke without even looking at Magnus since they were cool with one another like that. "Isaac here is looking to chop some Dark wizards, figured since we've been knee deep in the action we could point him in the right direction."

Heero would nod to Isaac, crossing him and giving him an elbow playfully. But before he could bro it up with Isaac anymore, an extremely drunk chick busted down the door. Shattering it into splinters. Somewhere in the Guild, someone did a 'tally mark' for door number 4,000+ being broken. The front door of Fairy Tail was perhaps the most abused door on the entire planet of Earthland..and that was saying something.

"No worries...someone actually rode a flaming Unicorn through it once....no seriously...those exist in Seven." Heero said without looking at Isaac, a sweatdrop over his head.

"If only he was joking..." Rose said, knowing this to be true. "So, Isaac you any good with that blade of yours?" Rose said, one hand on her hip and standing on a table to be at closer height to everyone else. Her tail swishing with curiosity as she herself was a master swordsman. H-Class in fact, even Heero was afraid of her. She was itching to get Isaac alone so they could have a chivalrous conversation and actually laugh at people with less manners than them.

"Rose you can't be thinking of challenging a Rune Knight...." Heero said looking to her with a sweatdrop. As she looked to him, a sparkle in her eye. Showing the Fairy Tail Guild Crest on her left arm, she would nod.

"Maybe some other time...." Rose knew that Isaac would have to be something else to be able to even stand a chance against her, since the moment his blades met hers if his were magically summoned they would be dispelled and he would likely be cut or wounded very badly. She wondered if he used a magical or non-magical weapon. Some other day perhaps.

For now, Rose would open her white wings and fly to Magnus' shoulder, landing on it and swishing her tail as her wings disappeared.

"Hey, Heero, Magnus' hair smells better than yours." she said, sniffing it. Flying over to Isaac, she would sniff his as well. "Him too." as she said this, Heero would get a pissed off mark over his head as a few people laughed and snickered charmingly in the background.
