Chapter 2 - Fiore

As Vance experienced the biggest orgasm of his life, suddenly everything went blank and all he could see was a blinding light.

It lasted for a long while, and he found that he was blind, deaf and he couldn’t make a sound. He tried to connect his chip to the internet to call for help, but nothing worked. It was as if he was completely cut off from everything. He was in a state of total sensory deprivation with no ability to communicate his helplessness.

Suddenly, his vision started coming back. He looked at a blur sight in front of him that was getting clearer as time goes on.

He discovered that he was on the floor, with what looked like shattered glass all around him. He looked up and saw several people getting off the floor, like him, and were all running away.

“What… whats going on?” he thought to himself as he got up and followed the crowd.

There was a huge hole in the wall and the men and women were running out and they looked like they were escaping.

He wondered slowly behind, still shaking his head. As he passed by a glass object, he looked at the reflection in the glass.

He had dark skin, a skinny untrustworthy face and a large afro hairstyle.

“Am I….Mr Satan? No, that’s not right. I don’t have a huge moustache” he thought to himself, staring at the ugly face looking back at him. He recognized his own face, but he couldn’t remember who he was.

“Look, it’s the dark mage Velveno! He’s escaping!” the voice yelled. It was followed up by a crowd of men who looked like guards and were yelling at him and approaching him with menace.

“Velveno? Is that me? That means….Fairy Tail! I'm in Fiore! I'm on Earth Land!” he suddenly remembered.

A torrent of memories suddenly flowed into his head. He was Velveno, a dark mage who was skilled in Transformation Magic where he could transform into anyone, and Magic Drain, where he could copy another mage’s magic. 

He had previously been a wanted criminal, and even mages of Fairy Tail had been hired to capture him.

However, he admitted that all he did was because of his love for Aceto, even though her father Count Balsamico disapproved of their union, they ended up engaged.

The only condition from Aceto was that he served his time and she promised to wait for him to marry him. He agreed without hesitation.

Just then, the ceiling started collapsing, so he rushed out just in time as the whole building collapsed on itself.

He turned back to see that the building was unstable because half of it had disappeared. As he looked around, the buildings all looked like they were randomly built, and some of the buildings and even the ground looked like they belonged somewhere else.

The people all looked weary and injured, and they didn’t look like they had noticed him too much.

Suddenly a name came into his head. “Aceto!” he yelled as he rushed off towards her mansion.

------------------------------------------------------------

Eight days later, Velveno was on his knees, crying over the body of a beautiful girl. Her body was cold, and it would appear that she had been dead for some time already.

Her body was injured everywhere, with dried blood dying her dress dark red.

He had just dug up her body from the rubble, after looking for her for several days.

He looked at her chestnut colored hair which was now covered with gray dust, her pretty face which was frozen in terror and her once lovely body who had been raped and tortured. It was clear that she had been used by so many enemies until she succumbed to her serious injuries.

It took him the most part of a day, even after copying a flying mage’s power, to reach the place where the mansion was before, only to discover that it had disappeared.

He found out from the people around that the geography of the whole land had changed randomly, which made him fly around blindly with no idea where Aceto was.

The mansion had moved to a far off land, surrounded by enemies who destroyed the mansion. So when Aceto was raped and killed, no one came to help. He didn't have a chance of helping her.

After going around aimlessly, he finally went back to the original location only to find that the mansion was back in place, but in ruins.

Unknown to him at that time, this was caused by Irene Belserion’s World Construction Magic, which manipulated the geography and moved all the buildings randomly when she compressed the distance between Fairy Tail and Zeref, then back again when she died.

However, just as he found the mansion and found Aceto’s ruined body, his knowledge of Fairy Tail’s history suddenly clicked. He suddenly understood that this happened in the war between Ishgar and the Alverez Empire, and that the Spriggan 12’s Irene Belserion was the one who caused all this.

All of Vance’s knowledge was merged with Velveno and their personalities became one. Velveno’s feelings, such as those for Aceto and his memories were real to him, yet Vance’s knowledge and memories were real too.

He picked up Aceto’s body to a nearby stream and cleaned her up. Then he spent the rest of the night burying her body in a secret grave site.

-----------------------------------------------------

The next morning, he woke up next to Aceto’s grave. His body was dirty and he was extremely tired.

His Magic Drain powers allowed him to copy any mage’s powers once he touched them, but it was limited to five mage’s powers at any one time. Furthermore, it was also limited to 1 day, after which those mage’s powers will disappear until he touches them again. This is due to the fact that his body does not regenerate power fast enough to maintain so many powers.

If he only copies only 1 power, he can keep it for at most a week. These are the limitations of his magic

As such, he had lost the power of flight already, and now only had his own magic, which were Transformation Magic, and Magic Drain.

“I will bring you back Aceto, no matter what. I promise” he said in front of her grave.

As he turned away, he added “And I’ll make the Spriggan 12 pay” with a look of utter hatred in his eyes.

Knowing that his face was too recognizable, he transformed into a younger looking male, looking similar to Aceto with chestnut brown hair and a handsome face.

He vanished into the distance, fully determined to resurrect Aceto, and to get his revenge.
