***Rachel's p.o.v***     ***A few days later***

I was hanging out with everyone in the guild when Master called me to the bar. "You wanted to see me Master?" I questioned walking up to the bar.

"Yes, I have a mission for you," he says handing me a job flier.

I take a look at it muttering, "Take down a rouge dark guild..." 

"Yes, but not just any dark guild. This dark guild apparently has the ability to make its guild members invisible," Master says sternly. I look up at him in surprise at his statement.

"This dark guild has defeated a couple other guilds already. Don't worry, none of their members were captured, they all returned safe and sound," Master explains to my worried look.

"The Magic council has now asked if you would attempt to take on this dark guild. Given your ability to see things that are invisible, they thought you might have an advantage. I will send a team with you to-" 

"No."

Master looks at me in shock at my interruption. "This is a mission I have to do alone," I say sternly. Master attempts to argue, but I stop him explaining, "It would be too dangerous to bring a team with me. Given that I am the only one able to see the enemy. I can't focus on directing a team and fighting at the same time, especially if this is a strong dark guild. It would just be easier for me to take them on myself, plus if one of my teammates was captured it would give the dark guild an advantage, one I cannot let them have."

Master looks at me, sighs, then says, "Alright, just be careful."

"Of course Master," I smile bowing. I turn and head back to the table I was sitting at with Team Natsu and the Thunder Legion. I notice that Team Natsu has left, so I ask the Thunder Legion of their whereabouts.

"They left to go on a mission," Evergreen replies.

"Oh, I see," I respond.

"What did Master need you for?" Bickslow asks.

"Oh, Master needed me to go on an important mission to defeat a rouge dark guild," I respond.

"We would be happy to accompany you," Freed offers, standing up.

"Oh no, no thank you guys. This has to be a solo mission I'm afraid. This dark guild has the ability to make its members invisible. So it would be too dangerous to bring anyone else with me if I'm the only one that can see them," I explained.

"Are you sure?" Freed asks, sitting back down.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Thank you for the offer though. Well, I better get going. I have a mission to complete. I'll see you guys later," I say, walking out of the guildhall.

"Bye," they respond back with a wave.

I smile and head home to pack. Despite what I said, I already know this is going to be a difficult mission.

***Freed's p.o.v***

"I sure hope she's careful," I say, a few minutes after Rachel left.

"Aww, somebody's worried for his giirrlll," Bickslow coos.

"I regret telling you guys anything," I stated, blushing.

"We would have figured it out anyways, its kind of obvious." Evergreen comments.

I huff in defeat as I glance back at the guild doors with worry.
