Jedi Reincarnated In Fairy Tail

Chapter 12 - The Cult of Zeref

After treating Macao and making there way down the mountain, the group of Fairy Tail members headed back towards the guild. When they finally made it back to town, Macao had a heartfelt reunion with his son.

With everyone safe and sound, they decided to call it a day, until Lucy suddenly exclaimed.

"I don't have anywhere to live!" Lucy cried out in anguish, as she scratched her hair ferociously.

Seeing Lucy's dilemma, Orion promptly remembered that the building he was renting had another apartment available.

"I think I may know a place," Orion said, as Lucy snapped out of her little panic attack.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Orion escorted Lucy to the old lady to see if the apartment was still available to rent.

Walking together to the two-story apartment building, Orion explained the basic design of the apartment to Lucy.

"...It's only 70,000 jewels a month! And it has a full bathtub, this is perfect for me!" Lucy exclaimed while doing a little victory dance.

Smiling at Lucy's excitement, Orion could see the Old lady was standing in front of the apartment building. Waving at her, Orion introduced Lucy and said that she was looking for an apartment to rent as she just joined the guild.

"So, you want to rent my apartment. Hmmm-can you pay for the first month now?" The old lady said sternly while looking Lucy up and down, silently judging her.

"Yes, si-ma'am, I can pay immediate-," Lucy said but stopped halfway as she began to pat down her pockets.

Seemingly surprised, Lucy immediately checked her bag and let out a giant sigh and fought to hold in her tears.

" I-I think I dropped my money on Mt. Hakobe." Lucy stuttered as she looked down at the ground

"If you have no money then the apartment isn't for sale." The old lady said promptly while turning away.

Orion seeing how depressed Lucy looked he decided to step in and help her.

"Wait! I can give you the money for this month." Orion suddenly called out to the landlady.

Looking up, both the Old Lady and Lucy seemed surprised at Orion's statement.

"Y-you will?" Lucy said while her eyes light up in delight.

"Sure for the first time, and it's only 70,000 jewels. Think of this as a welcoming gift to the guild!" Orion exclaimed while smiling brightly.

Throwing herself forward, Lucy wrapped herself around Orion and brought him into a hug. Although surprised by this, Orion still returned the hug while enjoying it the best he could. After hugging for a few seconds, the Old Lady cough loudly to gain the attention of the two young teenagers.

"Now if I have my money, the apartment is yours." The Old lady stuck out her gloved hand and demanded the jewels immediately.

After paying the greedy Old Lady, Orion began to guide Lucy to her new apartment. Unlike Orion's apartment, Lucy's was already furnished but still slightly empty.

Letting out a sudden yawn, Lucy stretched and closed her eyes.

"It's getting late, and today's been pretty eventful. I think I'm gonna turn in for the night." Lucy said after she inspected her new apartment.

"Alright, I see you tomorrow Lucy," Orion said as he made to way to his own apartment.

"But, wait! Thank you so much for paying the first month for me Orion. I promise I'll make it up to you." Lucy suddenly called out before Orion left.

" It's fine. We're guild members now, we look for each other. Good night Lucy, see you tomorrow." Orion said with a smile as he entered his apartment.

Hearing a quiet good night from Lucy, Orion had a small smile from behind his door. After hearing Lucy's door close and lock, Orion's entire attitude suddenly changed.

Swiftly moving away from his door, Orion moved to his bedroom and went toward his only closet. As he entered the closet, Orion pressed against the seemingly normal wall and pushed some of his magic into it.

With a soft hiss, the wall of his closet opened up to reveal a bunch of equipment hanging from a metal wall. On the wall, there was an entire body armor displayed and multiple types of blaster next to it.

The full body armor was sleek gray with a black robe around his legs. The armor was based on the design that the Jedi wore during the Old Republic. Attached to the armor was a black hood and faceguard that covered the face of whoever wore it.

Although based on the design of the Jedi, when wore it made Orion seem as if he was a Sith Lord. Although Orion didn't like the design at first, he decided that these colors were the best for the type of jobs he was given by Makarov.

Stripping off his clothing, Orion quickly put on a skin-tight bodysuit and began to dress in the gray armor. After placing all of his armor on, Orion began to pick up a specific set of weaponry he wound need for this job.

Grabbing a few thermal grenades, he picked up a small detonator. Reaching forward Orion placed his lightsaber on the wall and replaced it with another silver lightsaber.

This lightsaber was on single-bladed and was slightly curved at the end of its handle.

Holding up the blade, Orion felt a small connection to the blade but not as much as his regular lightsaber. As the crystal was synthetically made, a process Orion discovered while experimenting with his own lightsaber, it didn't have the same aura as a naturally made crystal.

Clipping the cylinder to his belt, Orion grabbed a pair of silver blaster pistols and closed his closet. Swiftly opening his window Orion leaped up onto the roof and stopped.

Sending out a burst magic a small single-seat speeder appeared. Jumping on the bike, Orion silently blasted off into the clouds while cl.i.c.k.i.n.g a few buttons on the screen of the tablet.

After flying for a while, Orion suddenly stopped his bike mid-air and turned the bike to autopilot. Swinging his feet off the side of the bike he promptly jumped.

Falling through the air, Orion's had the appearance of a dark angel as his black robes flapped behind him. Continuing to fall silently, a large building suddenly appeared in the middle of the forest.

Angling his body to fly towards the building, Orion used the Force to impede his descent and rolling quietly on to the large building. Crouching down Orion swiftly made his way towards a flat part of the building.

Swiftly grabbing his lightsaber, Orion activated it and with a sharp hiss, a pure white blade came out of the silver cylinder. He then stabbed the white blade into the roof and cut out a small circle. After cutting the hole, Orion levitated the cut off section of the roof and jumped inside while deactivating his lightsaber.

Seeing that the hallway was completely voided of any people, Orion stalked his way through the hallways like a shadowy wraith of death.

Making his way down the stairs, Orion finally encountered his first signs of human life. Standing together were two men garbed in red robes that had a black symbol with two sharp interconnecting symbols on them.

"They will be great sacrifices for our Lord's revival." One of the men said aloud.

"With their death, our Lord will come back with full power! Hahaha!" The larger man exclaimed as he laughed maniacally.

Having heard enough of these filthy monster, Orion lifted his hands and extended his power over the Force.

"Hahaha-ahhh. W-what the hell!" The man who was laughing maniacally, suddenly began to choke while clawing at his throat.

Panicking the man continued to claw at his throat as he was lifted into the air. As the other robbed man saw that his friend was being chocked, he was about to yell for help but he too was soon silenced

Searching frantically, both of the men saw a dark shadow suddenly creep towards them. Seeing this shadow-like monster calmly gliding toward them, the cult members continued to struggle but it was all for nothing as they were being held by a mysterious force.

As the wraith finally stopped before them, the last sight they saw before everything went dark was a pair of bright blue eyes that were rimmed in a striking orange.

Calming himself, Orion hid the two unconscious bodies and made his way towards the bas.e.m.e.nt of the building. Drifting in and out of the shadows, he continued to search the building.

Finally making it to the bas.e.m.e.nt, Orion found his reason for coming to this building tonight.

Lined in the dingy bas.e.m.e.nt where tens of cages filled to the brim with children of all ages. The children were all dressed in rages and looked to be deathly starved.

Feeling his anger threatening to burst out, Orion quickly searched for the monsters that would capture all of these children.

Sending out a pulse of Force energy, Orion quickly found a cl.u.s.ter of where all of the cultists were located. Giving up all thoughts of a sneak attack, Orion disappeared and quickly appeared in front of a group of at least 20 men.

All of the men were dressed in red robes and some carried magic staffs and other tools. The group seemed to be chanting the name Zeref, while standing around an altar that had a child chained in the middle.

The young boy was bruised and had multiple cuts throughout his entire body, they seemed to be made from a whip. The boy seemed dead to the world, as his captures prepared to whip him again.

But before the attacker could even raise his hand to attack the child, he found that the whip had fallen to the ground. Looking down the cult member saw that there was a severed hand holding the whip.

Finally feeling the pain catch up to him, the man yelled bloody murder while clutching the already cauterized numb where his hand use to be.

Catching the attention of ever cult member, they all turned to see a man dressed in frightening black armor with a long white blade in his hand.

"Ahhhh- GET HIM!" the man with the severed hand yelled as he crumpled to the floor.

Breaking out of their trance, the cult members rush the man and began to prepare spells, but found that he was already moving.

Flashing like a shadow, Orion cut off the chains on the boy and disappeared a distance away from the cult members with the boy in his hands. Gently setting the boy down a safe distance away, Orion turned to look him in his wide eyes.

"I'll be back," Orion said in a gruff voice, while slowly standing up to face the group of cultists.

Rolling his shoulders, Orion let out a deep breath and glared at the opposing wizards in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?!/ How dare you attack the Cult of Zeref!/ We'll sacrifice your soul for our Lord!" The cult members yelled as they prepared to kill Orion.

Having enough of these monsters, Orion shoots towards them as quick as lightning.

Bring his white saber down Orion slashed the first cult member he saw. Not even looking back, he continued to slice and dodge the attacks of the group around him. Jumping over and weaving around the melee attackers, Orion lifted his hand and raised over 5 men in the air.

As they panicked and clawed at their throats, the men were all suddenly thrown against the walls of the bas.e.m.e.nt. Frightened by this act of power, the cult members began to internally panic.

Taking out a single pistol, Orion began to take out any of the men that tried to run away. With extreme precision, all of the runners were hit by Orion's gunfire.

"Take this first. Fire-Make: Inferno Flames!" A cult member yelled while aiming his staff at Orion.

Throwing his arms out, Orion caught the fire thrown at him and contained it in a ball. As Orion caught the fire, almost every cult member prayed to Zeref that they would survive.

Containing the fire, Orion threw his hands out and made the ball of fire implode on itself, creating an explosion that sent every man there crashing to the floor. Suffering extreme burns, the cult members were either unconscious or already suffering extreme pain.

Suddenly a loudly sob could be heard from the alter.

Still crying on the floor was the pathetic cult member who's hand Orion severed when he tried to whip the boy.

As Orion in his dark blood-stained armor made his way to the altar, the man began to cry louder and kneel on the floor.

"Please I-I'll do anything! I'll tell you anything you want to know." The pathetic excuse of a man whimpered out

"Who's your Boss!" Orion yelled while lifting the man in the air with the Force.

"I-it's I don't know. I swear, all I know is the name Jel-." The man stuttered but was interrupted as he began to scream in pain.

On his body, an interlocking chain appeared as the man continued to scream until he was fell unconscious. Dropping the unconscious man, Orion g.r.o.a.n.e.d in frustration and began to round up all of the cult members.

Looking at the downed men, Orion looked at them and saw that every single one of them was alive, extremely injured, but still very much alive. Throwing them all in an empty cage, Orion quickly grabbed the two upstairs and put them in the cage too.

With all the cult members finally put away, Orion made his way towards the entrapped children.

Seemingly hearing all of the commotions, everyone kid in their cell stood up and watched the mysterious figure.

Stopping at one of the cages, Orion looked down at the kids as they slowly backed away. Just as Orion raised his hands, the children all closed their eyes and braced themselves.

After a minute of nothing happening the children looked up to see that all of their cages were ripped open. In fact, every single cage door was ripped off its hinges. For a few seconds all of the children stood completely still, until like a wave they all rushed from their cages and cheered happily.

Laughing and jumping with one another, the children began to hug each other and cry tears of joy.

Smiling under his mask, Orion felt the anger that had been burdening him disappear and drift away like the wind. As he watched the cheerful children, Orion suddenly felt someone tug on his robe.

Looking down Orion saw it was that same boy that he saved at the alter. The boy had bright green eyes and flat auburn hair, although he was very dirty Orion could see a twinkle in the boy's eyes.

"Are you going to take us home?" The little boy asked the scary figure with the brightest blue eyes he's ever seen in his short life.

Crouching down, Orion stared the boy straight in his eyes and gave a simple reply.

"Yes."

With that one word, the boy gave the biggest smile Orion's ever seen, until the boy's eyes suddenly rolled into the back of his head as he fell forward.

Catching the horribly injured boy, Orion picked him up and made his way towards the stairs.

"Following me!" Orion shouted for all of the children to hear.

Making his way up the stairs, Orion could hear the excited laughter of the children behind him. Leading the kids outside, the children were soon greeted to the sight of a large forest surrounding them.

Stopping for a second, most of the children began to cry at the fact that they are able to see the sky once again.

Feeling the emotions of the kids, Orion swore in his heart to capture the man responsible for this. After letting the kids have a moment a peace Orion suddenly noticed how extremely injured the children were.

Sending forth his magic Orion quickly summoned a group of medical droids for the kids.

"Tech-Make: Medical Droid," Orion whispered quietly as a group of small robots began to appear from magical circles.

Attracted by the sudden use of Magic, the children were surprised as little robots began to roll around them. Seemingly already understanding that the robots were there to help them, the children let the droids treat them. Some even poke at the droids in amazement, as they never saw such a cool piece of technology before.

Happy that the children were being treated, Orion turned his attention to the injured boy in his arms.

The boy was still bleeding from his wounds, and he had a fever as his face was bright red. Acting quick Orion gathered all of the energy that he could and focused it on healing the boy.

As a white light began to surround Orion's hands, the boy's injuries began to visibly disappear very quickly. After another minute of healing, Orion stopped to see that the boy was completely healed, as his breathing calmed and he was resting peacefully.

Setting the boy down slowly on to the grass, Orion called a droid to watch over him while he made his way back into the building.

Searching the entire house from head to toe, left Orion with absolutely no clues on why they were here or who's leading them.

Levitating the cult members in the cage as he walked out, Orion remembered to place thermal charges all over the building before he left. Continuing to levitate the cage, Orion found that all of the children were already treated and were fit enough to walk unaided, so he then dismissed the droids.

Letting out a groan, many of the kids were sad to see that their new friends had suddenly disappeared.

Directing the group of kids to follow him, Orion guided the kids to walk away from building and towards the nearest road. Once they were far enough, Orion detonated the charges that he placed.

Boom!

A loud explosion occurred that could be seen and felt in every direction, but none of the children reacted as Orion had made a bubble with the Force to prevent the kids from getting scared.

Although some children who saw the explosion smiled brightly to themselves, as they knew the evil building they were being held in had finally been destroyed.

After reaching the main road, Orion stopped and place the cage of cultist on the ground roughly, making the men inside groan in pain.

Grabbing a blue crystal from a compartment on his belt, Orion suddenly filled it with magical energy to send a beacon to the authorities that were bound to appear soon.

Placing the beacon on the ground, Orion made sure that the men were unable to escape the cage and then turned towards the kids.

"I must leave, but someone is coming for you in a few minutes," Orion announced while disguising his voice.

"No!" The children yelled while rushing forward to hug Orion.

Feeling sad that he had to leave the children, Orion sent out a burst of happiness through the Force to embrace the kids.

Slipping through the arms of the kids, Orion jumped in the air and land on his speeder that was waiting for him while camouflaged in the air.

"Stay safe!" Orion called out while he fled the scene on his speeder.

Behind him, Orion could hear the cheers and cries of the children below. Feeling sad, but extremely happy with the results Orion made his way back towards his apartment.

Riding in silence Orion soon landed on top of his apartment and hopped off his speeder. Dragging himself through his window, Orion sluggishly stripped off his armor and wash up before passing out onto his bed, face first.
