Unleash the Demon: Hand Over Your Demon
By the time Laxus got to where the restaurant used to be it was too late, the whole building was in ruble. It smelled of burning wood and sawdust from the broken roof. The bricks were scattered all over the ground, some still falling of making a clang in decibels that seem to mimic the beating of Laxus heart as he fully took in the scene before him.
Laxus could see that the Thunder Legion was torn and covered in cuts and bruises, evidence that the had an altercation with the strange man in the hood standing in front of Yagima. The man had a weird scent to him. Not a normal human scent, something else Laxus couldn't put his finger on a scent he's only ever smelled on Mira and Freed before, the scent of a demon. It was pungent like rotting flesh off a long dead corpse. Laxus was almost positive this 'thing' was not human in nature. The 'thing' in the hood was standing over Yagima, ready strike him where he stood a blow that would kill the man for sure.
Just before Laxus had the chance to jump in Yagima spoke, "who the Hell are you".
The demon responded with a deep and gruff voice, but with a time that suggested he could care less about this conversation " I have no name, though humans have a word for me they call me 'Disaster' a force of nature" He picked Yagima up by his throat " The Netherworld gate has opened, humanity will be judged". He was winding up a breath of pure wind energy to kill off Yagima when Freed spoke as his eyes went wide in realization" He's from Tartarus that means it wasn't just the nine there targeting former member of the council as well, but why what could Tartarus be after"?
"Say your prayers" mocked the demon as he gripped tighter around Yagima's neck about to deliver the final blow. Screams could be heard coming from Bickslow and Evergreen. Just before the demon had the chance however a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky hitting the demon's hand causing him to drop Yagima.
A deep growl was heard emanating from deep within the demon's throat as if he was drawing the sound for an endless pit of rage from deep within his very essence. Tempester wound up his wind like powers like a spring and sprung at Laxus with all his might. It was all for naught as Laxus was easily able to dodge the attack only making the demon yell even more intensely. This went on for several swings each becoming more erratic than the first as the demon became more desperate to land a punch. Laxus needed to end the is battle fast before the demon is able to pull out a trump card. This triggered Laxus to pull all the energy left in his body straight from his core and channel it into one final attack "Lightning dragon charge"! Laxus screamed as he landed a hit on the demon's head from above with both his nuckles locked together for a greater impact causing the demon's head to make a dent in the dirt.
It would seem for now that Laxus was victorious, he had beaten the demon. He looked back at the Thunder Legion to make sure they were ok, "Freed, Bickslow, Ever how are you guys I hope this guy wasn't too much trouble for you guys".
"Were fine now that you're here Laxus" said Freed pushing himself off the ground. Laxus let out a sigh of relief and addressed the elephant in the room " the better question is what do we do with him now?" "why not take him back to the guild hall he has quite a few questions to answer" responded Freed responsible as always. "I still don't understand their motive".
Just then the demon on the floor began to stir back to life his hand twitching, "so you're with Fairy Tail eh?" This sudden response caused all the of the present wizards to turn to the demon in shock. "I didn't think i'd encounter this kind of power on the surface, not to mention a fellow demon, Freed the Dark." Just then the Demon turned to look directly at Freed with a wicked grin of his face filled with ill intent and maliciousness. "It's too bad you all have to die".
"Shut up no one is going to die here" said Laxus sternly. Just then the demon turned to smoke "he blew up " yelled Ever in disbelief. "These are anti-magic particles! don't breath them in!"shouted Freed frantically tears almost spilling from his eyes. "It's ok Dragon Slayers had great lungs". With a huge breath Laxus began to breath in all the smoke from the surrounding area. "Please Laxus don't do this to yourself'' Freed cried out this time actual tears spilling out his eyes.
The demon's voice could be heard from the smoke as his body began to rematerialize " I had every intention of killing everyone in this goddamn town at first, but now I see I can still get some use out of at least one of you that will please my masters". He looked directly at Freed who was on his hands and knees about to pass out from the poison and Laxus has stopped breathing the poison when the voice started speaking to look directly at the demon. "What do you want from us!" yelled Freed, the tone was desperate and pleading. "Well isn't it obvious, I want you Freed the Dark. your ability to change into a demon is exactly what my masters are looking for in future servants. Your body could be of great use to us once the correct modifications are done, and you become our mindless killing machine. Willing to do our bidding no matter what, a puppet controlled by the leaders of Tartaros".
Tbc.. next chapter we see why he agrees to go with the demon willingly.
