I didn't wait for their first move, I yelled, "Lightning Dragon Roar!" And shot lightning as Sebastian and Misty. Sebastian made a shield around himself and Misty to block my lightning. When my spell died down, Sebastian dropped the shield and Misty stood up, "Water Dragon Roar!" She cried.
I'll admit I was caught off guard, so that's how I found myself being washed away in a whirlpool of water. When that was done, I stood up, soaking wet. "You asked for it," I growled. Blue sparks jumped from my body. My hair stood on end, the frizziness making them look miniature black lightning bolts.
"You asked for it!" I shouted. Laughing insanely, I coated my hand with lightning. "Lightning Dragon Iron Fist!" I ran right at Misty and punched her. She screamed as she flew into the wall. I continued laughing. Oh, how I enjoyed seeing the suffering of my opponents! I'm crazy that way. But I like being crazy.
"Misty!" Sebastian cried. Then he turned to me, his face a mask of pure anger. "You're gonna regret that."
"Ha! I'd love to see you try!" I exclaimed,
"Nature Dragon Roar!"
I'd seen this move before, so I easily dodged. A few of the sharp projectiles left small cuts on my skin, but I barely felt them. I leaped upward and came down in front of Sebastian, "Lightning Dragon Wing Attack!"
I sent him flying. Then Misty came up behind me and splashed me with her Water Dragon Slayer Magic from behind. I yelped, then yelled, "Lightning Dragin Crushing Fang!" I slashed at her with sparks in my hands, causing her to fly into Sebastian.
At some point during the fighting, Aria, our Air Mage of the Element 4, dissociated Makarov Dreyar's magic. The members of Fairy Tail retreated, many of them bruised and bloody by yours truly. When they'd all cleared out, we celebrated.
"Drinks all around!"
We drank. A few minutes later, Juvia and Sol came back from capturing our target, Lucy Heartfilia. Jose left, and the two came over.
Gajeel and I had been sitting at the bar with Aria and Totomaru. Now Juvia and Sol joined us, and the team of Phantom Lord S-class was complete.
"Now we just need Mercy Heartfilia, Lucy's cousin," Juvia said.
"Wait, she was that Celestial Spirit wizard I fought," I frowned. "If I'd known she was a target I'd have kidnapped her and tortured her right on the spot!"
"You are one sadistic woman," Gajeel commented.
"I know!" I laughed. I enjoyed being psychotic. Don't ask why.
The nature of our mission was to bring Lucy and Mercy Heartfilia, the privileged daughters of the Heartfilia family, back to Jude and Gabriel Heartfilia, the businessmen. And if we could eliminate Fairy Tail in the process, then so be it.
"Hey, has anyone seen Bob around?" Sol spoke up.*
Totomaru raised his eyebrows, "Who's Bob?"
"Well if any of us don't know him, he's probably not important," Gajeel decided.
We nodded. We had one of our targets. And soon we'd have the other one too. Things seemed to be under control, right?
Wrong.
We were fucking wrong.
Natsu and Mercy saved Lucy, so which is why now we had to put the guild hall in travelling mode. Boy did I hate travelling mode. A common weakness amongst strong Dragon Slayers appeared to be motion sickness. So I spent most of the ride puking into a trash can. Very intimidating.
As we drew closer, I could see the crowd of Fairy Tail watching in horror as our guild hall approached. Finally, we stopped, and Jose ordered the Jupiter Canon to start.
The Jupiter Canon was a powerful magic mechanism. Fueled by magic of the four elements, the Canon could do some pretty serious damage. As long as our Element 4 remained in the game, we were good.
The canon fired. The stupid, little insolent wench Erza Scarlet in her damn Adamantine Armor blocked the blast. It would take a while to recharge. The blast left Erza in bad shape, so we didn't have to worry about her, but we had to worry about the others.
The thing with maggots is that if you let them join forces they'll beat you, so you can never ignore anyone unless you want to be beaten.
"Makarov has fallen," Jose spoke into a speaker that projected his voice outside. "And Erza can no longer stand. Any chance of victory has slipped through your fingers. Surrender Lucy and Mercy Heartfilia immediately. You have no other choice."
"That's not gonna happen!" Yelled Alzack Connell.
"Like any guild would hand over their own to a monster like you!" Bisca Mulan added.
"You here that? Lucy and Mercy are staying put!" Macao finished.
The rest of the guild shouted in agreement.
I chuckled. The fairies outside couldn't hear me, but the Phantoms did. "I don't think so. If they won't surrender, we have no problem fighting dirty."
I glanced back at the three boys Jace Dispel, Isaiah Backburn, and Jedediah Backburn. "Here's a chance to make yourself useful. Go capture Lucy and Mercy and bring them to me. Zeus-," I looked at the large wolf, "Go with them and make sure they don't screw up."
Zeus nodded, "Alright."
"We won't fail," Jace said.
"You'd better not," I said.
Back outside, I could see the guild still yelling. Erza even say up just to yell, "WE WIULD NEVER BETRAY THEM LIKE THAT!"
"YOU CAN STOP ASKING BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GETTING EITHER OF THEM!" Sebastian added.
"WE'RE TAKING EVERY ONE OF YOU JERKS DOWN!" Natsu screamed.
I smirked, "I'll have fun torturing them!"
Jose released phantoms onto Fairy Tail, while Jace, Isaiah, Jed, and Zeus used the chaos as cover for their exit.
In the commotion down in the Fairy Tail guild, I saw Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer charging towards our guild hall with his blue cat Happy, closely followed by Misty Swanson; her cat Neptune; Naomi Dragneel, Natsu's twin sister; Carbuncle, Naomi's cat; Gray Fullbuster the ice wizard, and Elfman Strauss, the dude with the Beast Arm.
I raised an eyebrow, "This'll be an interesting fight. I'll fight that girl, Misty."
"Come on, you're just picking off the easy prey," Gajeel said.
"Oh don't worry, I'll torture the girls soon enough," I said. "There's no way I'm losing before I get a chance to have some fun."
While the Phantoms waged war against the Fairies, I watched my team's progress on Lacrima vision.
The wagon had reached the safehouse, where Reedus, Lucy, and Mercy were staying. Reedus wasn't much of a threat.
Zeus broke down the door. Reedus tried to use his painting magic to stop Zeus, but with one swing of his axe, Zeus sent Reedus flying.
"Reedus!" Mercy shouted. She glared Zeus, "You're gonna pay for that."
Jace stepped forward, "Hello. This is Jace Dispel from the Phantom Lord guild. We're here to take you since Fairy Tail was too stupid not to surrender."
The air shimmered and Jace disappeared. Lucy and Mercy looked dumbfounded, but I knew that Jace was still there, just invisible. He ran across the room and easily knocked out Lucy. The twins grabbed Lucy, and Jace reappeared.
Mercy growled and ran at Jace, punching and kicking him. Even without her keys, Mercy was still a formidable foe. I smiled. Maybe now I could have some fun.
By time I found my way to the safe house, Mercy had beaten Jace, Isaiah, and Jedediah. Zeus's Battle Form had apparently crumbled for the time being, which was saying something.
Mercy was supporting Lucy, whispering something into her cousins ear.
"How touching," I spoke. "It makes me want to hurl."
Mercy glared at me. "You again."
I looked at Jace, Isiah, and Jedediah. "I knew you rookies couldn't hack it. I should have come here myself in the first place."
"Sorry," Jed mumbled.
I tilted my head, "You think that puts you off the hook."
When Jed was silent, I shot lightning at him. "Maybe this will teach you not to fail me again."
Jed screamed as I nailed him with attack after attack. Isaiah screamed his brother's name, but neither he, Jace, or Zeus tried to stop me. Smart people.
I laughed as I saw Jed gasping for breath, a pained expression his face. One of his lenses had cracked. With another crack of lightning, I had Jed too weak to fight back. He wasn't dead, but he was going to be feeling that for a week.
Mercy's expression turned dark, "You bitch! He was your guild mate!"
"Why would I care?" I asked. "And more importantly, why would you care?"
"What kind of a monster would hurt their own comrade?" Mercy yelled.
"A monster like me," I said, smiling psychotically. "He failed his mission, and he thought a simple sorry would fix everything. I can't allow fialures to go unpunished, can I?"
Mercy's fists clenched.
I spoke again, "Now that I pushed Jed to the limit, I need another target." I smiled. "Ooh! I know! How about I use you instead!"
I fired lightning at Mercy. She screamed upon impact. I laughed and hit her with more lightning, coaxing screams every time.
Loke, one of the Fairy Tail members burst in. He yelled, "Back off!"
I glanced over at him, "Hm?"
He summoned his Ring Magic. I sensed something strange about him. But there was no time to worry about that. "Lightning Dragon Roar!" I sent him flying into the wall.
I looked at Mercy. She was covered in bruises and some blood trickled from her lip. "Gajeel will get annoyed if I don't leave some for him." I decided. I grabbed Mercy by her shirt and tied her hands together. Jace and Isaiah tied up Lucy. Isaiah slung Lucy over his shoulder and Jace lifted Jed over his shoulder.
We left back towards Phantom Lord with both targets captured.
