Book 2 Chapter 7: The Iron Giant

Spoiler:

Another day to do his best again. The man was very tired you see. It was not easy to be him you see. Too much was going on today. So much as been going on every day. He was truly getting sick of it. He has been in the guild for quite some time now and boy has it been a ride do far. Nobody truly views him as a friend in the guild. But this was a good thing. Ghost was now sitting up in his bad. He has taken on a role to go to a very special island today. It turns out a giant is causing trouble there.

Ghost was confused as to why this was happening in the first place. But he did not care as he was getting paid to stop it. As of late, he has stopped truly caring about what it meant to be a wizard anymore. You see everyone he has come across rubbed him the wrong way. Or he rubbed them the wrong way. Too overzealous in his field of work to do anything about it. Should he act as if he was friendly to make friends? But why when a friend will backstab you in the end. It was very interesting, to say the least as Ghost was liked somewhat in his guild. But in the end, he felt so lonely.

Slowly but surely he would get out of bed and take a shower. Next, he would get ready slowly but surely. Despite him taken his sweet time only a mere hour would have passed. Ghost knew right then and there that today was going to be a long day. "What a drag I have to really do this today. I am not in a playing mood either that best of a giant will stop by choice. Or I will break every single bone in his body and I do mean every single one." Ghost was now ready for the world. Leaving out if his home to go slay the giant. He would yawn before giving out a smile. It was showtime today as he opens his portal. He would walk through it as he travels to his destination.

Arriving on the island he would look around. It was a very odd place, to begin with as his scanners we're going all over the place. Ghost was ready for the world in more ways than me. He looked on as he could feel the ground shaking. But he was not afraid he was just thinking. His the hell did a giant get on the island, to begin with? Clearly, someone in the guild brought it here. But the question is who would and could do such a thing? He looked on as he clearly was trying to find this very question out. Ghost would look up to see the giant yelling and going on about how he just wants to go to sleep. Not just that but sleep back at his home.

Just what did this giant means by that. It had metal body parts such as him. But where could this giant have come from to say such a thing? Ghost still was confused but then it came to him. He came from another country altogether. Ghost would let off a smile as he started to walk towards the giant. It was waving its sword around crushing into things, right off the back. Ghost would see this and looking at the giant he clearly was extremely mad at something. But what was the giant mad at. Ghost looking on could tell by the way it was moving he clearly could study the creature. The giant would start to roam about the island. Yelling how did it get here and yelling he just wants to go home. But the giant already looked like it was beaten up in a fight.

""How very interesting was this giant. Did it lose a fight or something? My guess is it must have lost a fight or more. Either way, it went the giant clearly was badly wounded. Thus has piqued my interest in more ways than one." He continued to watch the giant move about. The giant was walking far and wide. Ghost looking on would give a smile to the very idea of finishing him off. True it was trespassing on fairy tail grounds. So if he was to do such a thing it would be justified in more ways then one. But then again why go through such trouble to prove so the value of one small point. Thinking on it Ghost elected not to go down the dark road and kill the giant. However, the giant best come along with no problems because no one has time to babysit no overgrown freak of nature.

The giant would start to run he was surprisingly fast for his size. Ghost would see this and begin to give chase to the poor unfortunate soul. Looking on blood would be everywhere as the giant was bleeding badly. Ghost would see this and gave off a frown of his own. But he was not at all worried just a bit overseen at everything that has happened to him this far. Soon Ghost would go up to the giant and prepared to talk with him. Going over to him the giant would swing his sword at Ghost. This was to be expected but sadly it had to stop. Looking on Ghost would then get hit by the giant sword attack.

He would be sent flying down into the ground. Crashing into a nearby group of trees. He packed such strength even in his condition. That was as epic as it would get. Ghost would slowly stand up as he looked on at the giant. It would be best to use speed to try and reason with the giant. Because if not he will use force if need be.

Ghost looked on but was stunned to see the giant move in circles. He seems to be at a loss as if he was looking for something. Clearly, he was as he kept on saying I'm so sleepy, but I have to find my shield. So to Ghost knowledge, he truly did lose a fight or won it. But somehow got sent here. But on top of that, he lost his shield. He wants to rest but can't not until he finds his shield. Ghost looked on as he took to the sky to start to look. Seeing that the giant was still in a wreck the world mindset. He knew his time was limited. Soon enough he would call forth his clones.

This was a good thing now they all could spread out and cover more ground. This was to be expected seeing as it was ten of them. Quickly the group of Ghost would start to fly around the area of the island. Covering different grounds to find the shield that was missing. It was a very big shield so how hard could it be to found. The problem was the giant who by now Ghost has engage in combat. He looked on as the giant was going blow to blow with him. Ghost would smile at such a thing as even the giant was moving in his gravity hole. Ghost look on as this was starting to get tirelessly to him. But soon the giant would fall on his back.

Ghost would jump high up in the sky as he looks down at the giant. He was laid out and was truly a big one. Ghost would see this as he started to leap drive down at him. The speed he picked up as he dropped down on him. Hitting him in the chest causing great pain to the giant. Ghost would smile as the giant was moaning in pain. Ghost would see this as he would give a smile. Scanning the giant he could tell he would be defeated if he kept ongoing. This fight would end with his death. The giant would start to cry as Ghost watch this from on top of his chest. Ghost would head his cries for his shield he loves so dearly. The poor guy just wanted his shield back. Ghost would ask him this very question to start off the conversation. "You cry for a shield that you have lost which is your very own problem. But given that you weep over such a thing means you truly live this certain shield. I wonder what value does it have to you? What could such a thing mean to you? All these questions, I have I am sure you have the answers to them. So now then tell me more about this shield and how you came to process it." Ghost looks own at the giant who calls himself Zaru. A smile would come across his face.

Boy I have never been asked such a thing before and I do mean like never. It started so long ago so many years ago. That shield meant the world to me. I will do anything to get it back. From the blood sweat and tears, I put in to get that shield I will gladly die for it. Please help me find it I promise I will leave this place. I don't even know how I got here all I do know was I was fighting this old-time bending wizard true I lost but he cast me here. That man power was unlike any other have seen in my day. Please just help me find it I have not long for this world but at least will have my shield."

Ghost looked on at the giant as he was clearly sad. Not many people understood what it was like to have an item such as that. An item that will forever change the way you view your gear. Things such as this are what makes being a warrior so much fun. To Ghost, this was fated to happen he now knows what he must do. He would lean back on a tree as he waited on his clones. Quickly they would look all over the island until finally, they found what they were looking for. Ghost would give a smile as he was alerted by his clones of the news. But all in all, he could not help but wonder. Just what could such a shield do? Ghost would smile at the very thought of having the shield for himself. Thinking he could use the data on how one could love what can not love back. This would be more than fun for him. He would give off a gainful smile as he looked at the giant. Not even telling him the shield was just now found.

Ghost would look up at him and give a smile. "Say Zaru did you know I have found your most loved shield. But there is a catch you see in order to get that very shield back. I will have to open up your body. I need to see just in all the realms what makes you tick like tock tock. So what do you say you unleash that hidden magic of yours and let me add it's data to my data." Ghost looking at him would give a loud yawn as the giabtvskowly sat up. The look in his eyes said it all he was truly angry and he was angry at what he just read from Ghost. Looking down at him his skin would start to turn red. His magic power would start to increase and I do mean by a lot. He would stand up as he grew in size itself. Looking down he now had horns on his head. He just enters his takeover demon king mode.

Zaru was now at full power as his wounds were still there but were healing. Ghost looked on at this as he would call forth his twilight realm. The real battle now was about to start. The giant would rush at him however Ghost was and is too fast to get hit by him. The giant looked on with rage as he continued to chase after Ghost. As he took his sword and was swinging it at him. The power the giant had in him was true if not pure amazing. Ghost was amazed at this very fact as he kept on going. Not truly trying to get hit by the sheer power of the giant. Ghost knows that the giant is on a timer and that if he could get him. To waste his time than he would have a ninety percent chance of winning. This was just to fun for him.

This day has been a truly wonderful masterpiece plus he got to use the portal in the basement of the guild. Ghost was truly ready to go all out on the giant. He would soon cast his Eden Gate spell. Slowly but surely a large gate would come forth. The giant would see this and a strange look cane about on his face. As Zaru the giant looked he would see his shield right under the Eden Gate. Ghost would give a smile as Zaru the Gaint started running for it. Slowly but surely the gate would charge up. Ghost would smile at this. The giant was nearly there as the Eden Gate was nearly charged. Soon Zaru the Giant would jump on his shield. The might of the giant running was causing a small earthquake. Ghost saw this as Zaru the giant jumped right on the shield.

Ghost would smile as he shot the beam right down on the giant. The beam might was extremely powerful. It would fall right on the overwhelming majority of the area of the island that they were on. The due part was all but hopeful as Ghost was a very extremely difficult person to control his mindset when it comes to learning new things. He wanted to learn just how many beams would it take to kill this giant and boy was he getting close to it. Ghost just knew he was about to hit the jackpot on his data research with Giants. The giant would scream in pain as the beam hit him. But to Ghost shock, he still remained as his scanners pick up on him. Looking on the smoke would come about after the beam had fired at Zaru the Giant. Soon the smoke would clear and there he was still standing and holding his shield at that. This was most unfortunate for Ghost as he did not plan for this. But at least the moment as come at last and boy was it worth it. The giant would give a smile as he gains control of his takeover form.

"I only have five minutes to defeat you, young human. But in that time if I cannot beat you I will take us both out. For I have sense in you a very unpleasant feeling. You must understand what I mean by saying such a thing. You are without a doubt a ride in time and I must send you back right here and right not. But if I can not then I will die trying and you can believe me on that one you foolish human you. Now get ready and ready your self because if you are not ready. I could care less I am still coming for you." Zaru the giant made himself clear as he rushed at Ghost. Ghost looked on but was clearly in an awe state of mind. Seeing as the giant would say such a thing about him. Looking on he would now have to end the giant as it knows too much about him. Ghost would look at him he realized he his twilight realm had gone away. The giant was more powerful now as the shield took on a new form. On top of that, the giant take over form had fused with the shield somehow and someway. This was all very interesting to Ghost. He would record all this as the giant charged at him. Quickly he would jump back to get a good viewing of the incoming threat. Zaru the ain't was one for the books as he was breathing very heavily. Ghost would start to fire off his Eden Gate beams but the giant would rank them with his shield. Ghost was very impressed with how the giant was moving at him. Not even scared of Ghost anymore more like he was braver than ever before. This was very helpful and good for his data. As the shield made the giant and not the other way around. Ghost had an idea to use against the giant. Using his speed spell he would start to run around the giant. This confused Zaru as Ghost clones came in with full force throwing trees at him.

This was investigated on rather the giant could take a tree hit or not. But for some odd reason, the giant would stand there watching as the trees came crashing down on him. But soon it all made sense as the trees stopped in mid-air. There it was Ghost was shock to the trees stopping and coming back at him. This was crazy what other magical powers those this giant have? But soon it was known that Zaru the giant was on his last leg as he fell back down after throwing the trees at ghost. The trees would quickly be destroyed by the clones as Ghost watched on. It truly was a beautiful moment for them all. To see the giant fight for his shield was just amazing, to say the least. Now, all it was to do was get Zaru the giant off if the island.

The clones all look on at Zaru the Giant. He was down and beaten but Ghost got what he wanted. It was now nearing dawn as the clones were preparing a portal to get Zaru the giant off. The data he collected will be put to use for all that it is worth. Ghost would walk around the island looking for a way. A way to get the giant off of the island. It was odd, to begin with, but who could send Zaru to the island, to begin with? This very fact had Ghost at an awe moment. Not many people had the power to do such a thing. But to be frank even a weak member of the guild could send someone here if need be. But still, the fact of the matter remains just how did they do it? Not just do it but completely without no one even noticing it at all.
.
How surreal was it all but maybe one could learn a thing or two from this person. But all in all, this was a good day Ghost just love to discover more and more things. Looking on he would use the portal from his twilight realm. This portal allowed him anywhere he so pleased. As long as his magical power could allow him to. Ghost was now ready to send him away as he did so. He could not help but view how happy Zaru the giant really was. Holding on to his shield with such pride with such happiness.

"Outstanding he was willing to risk death itself to get that shield back. Such a thing could bring tears to someone eyes. I do really enjoy how he is acting right now. But it is time for him to leave this place for good. So until we meet again Zaru the giant may you keep that shield and your happiness." Ghost would smile as he saw the portal take him away. Looking on he would return to his guildhall with a job well done. Looking around it still was on his mind so Ghost would do to track down the giant himself. This had to come to light the very light in which the dark hides itself. Ghost would watch the giant from afar viewing his every move. This was to be expected as he saw the giant mood change depending on the shield. Such a good way to live yet it was so bad.

Looking on he would walk away going back to what he does best. He went back to his guildhall and reviewed his fight with the giant. It turns out he was sent there with the twilight realm as well. So that made him wonder more ways than one. Clearly, the reason the giant was there was because of Clockwork. This was very bad for Ghost. He has returned to the world as it may seem. Ghost would smile as he completed the job but could only look up to the sky in a worry why.
