Unveiling of a Devil
Phantom HQ
Jose stared across the water towards the now distant fairy tail. Hate and anger was thick around him as images of the humiliation he had suffered hours early played through his mind. Around him, his men worked quickly and quietly as to not draw his attention to them. They did not want to face the wrath that was sure to fall on Fairy Tail soon.
You're actually going to use me this time? Jose's attention wavered slightly as he focused on the voice in his head. Yes Vaya, but you will follow to the plan I have set out for their destruction. He felt annoyance flow from the devil as he remembered his plan. Shoot cannon, send me, shoot cannon again while I'm still there, and if all else fails, blow half of the town up with them. What a perfect plan for a person of your rank. I can't see why all guild masters don't use you as their role model. Jose gritted his teeth at his remark. The devil's annoying presence was not helping him with his mood.
"Master, Fairy Tail has spotted us and we can see their members pouring out of the guild." Jose smirked as he turned his attention to the shocked faces staring at his mobile HQ. "Prepare, the magical cannon, Jupiter." The HQ shook as the cannon extended and targeted Fairy Tail. "Obliterate"
A large wave of magic exploded out of the cannon towards Fairy Tail. Looks like I won't need you. Vaya chuckled as it felt a strong magic source collide with the magic projectile. Phase 1 failed. The magic exploded and covered Fairy Tail in a cloud of dirt. Seconds later, the cloud dispersed to show the guild still standing. Jose ignored the sight and turned on his speaker. "First Makarov, now Erza is unable to fight. You don't stand a chance… Hand over Lucy Heartfilia right now!"
Instantly, the sound was filled with the angry voices of Fairy Tail wizards who were asked to give up one of their friends. Can I go yet? Or do you want to continue failing at trying to scare the fairy tail mages into submission. If so, please continue, I could use the entertainment before a big battle. Jose veins bulged as anger rushed throughout his body. "Then we'll fire an even bigger and stronger Jupiter. Now struggle in the fifteen minutes of terror it takes to reload."
… Did you just tell them how long it would take to reload your cannon? I really know now that choosing you as a tool wasn't such a good idea. Jose ignored his jab as he continued on with his rant. "Feel pain Fairy Tail. You have two choices, die by Jupiter or by the Phantom Lord's Devil." Confusion was met with his statement as many of Fairy Tail and even most of his own members looked confused. They had never heard of a person title Devil in Phantom Lord. Jose laughed as he gathered magic to summon. "Go Vaya! Show those weaklings what it means to fight against the strongest guild in Fiora."
Finally… I can fight some interesting people. But I only have one problem before I fight. Jose felt killing intent leak out of the swirling magic that was forming into him. "I'm no one's devil… remember that or you might end up dead sooner than you want." With that he was surrounded by green light before he burst through the front of the HQ leaving a giant hole behind him. "Vaya!"
[…]
Down below on the cannon, Natsu was trying to destroy with his magic. "Ahhh, it doesn't budge an inch." Happy looked at the end of the cannon before turning to Natsu. "Maybe we can destroy it from the ins" he was caught off guard as the wall above them exploded as a green flash rocketed towards their guild. Happy had to hold to the cannon to not get blown off by the wind. "Natsu, what is that." Natsu followed the orb with worried eyes. "I don't know happy, but I won't let it hurt my friends." Happy looked up at him with worry. "But we have to destroy Jupiter or it will destroy our home." Natsu looked between the cannon and his guild conflicted before he jumped into the cannon. "Come on Happy, we have to destroy this cannon."
Back at guild, Cana, Loki, and the others watched the light approach warily. It landed silently in front of them before shrinking to reveal a hooded person. "So this is the mages of the guild that is causing that fool so many problems." The figure looked around before he chuckled. "You guys are certainly not what I expected you guys to be." Loki glared at him as he felt his skin crawl. "So, you're the Devil of Phantom Lord." Inhuman eyes focused on him from the darkness of the hood. "And you are Loki… a shadow of your former self. Tell me, what is a "Being" like you doing here like this." Loki's eyes widened at his words. "How do you know who I am?"
He simply chuckled as he ignored the question and turned to the Cana and the rest. "My name is Vaya humans, and I am no one's devil. You should be careful of what you believe or say when it concerns those of my kind." Cana smirked at him as she and those around her prepared to fight. "I don't care whose devil you are, but we won't let you destroy our guild or take Lucy. No matter how much of a devil you act like."
A half covered smile formed on his face as he focused on the women before him. "Title? I believe that you have the wrong idea about me. I'm no human…" Dark magic pressed down on those around him as he released his power. "You get the honor of being the first victims this devil has gotten to kill in over a thousand years!" He jumped forward laughing as he formed a powerful sphere of magic in his hand. Loki's warning sense went off as he caught sight of the ball. "Everybody get away from him!"
BOOM
The explosion shook the ground as it filled the air with dirt. "One down… already, huh… maybe this won't be so fun after all." The dirt cleared to show Vaya standing in a crater formed by his attack. A shock gasp came from Cana and the others as they noticed a body at his feet. The unmistakable letters on his chest revealed who he was. "Joey!" The scream triggered Loki into action as he jumped into the pit at Vaya. "Bastard!" Vaya dodged Loki punches as he jumped out of the crater. "Huh… What a weakling you had in this guild. He didn't even last three minutes. Yet, you guys are sad over his death… how human."
Screams of rage alerted him to attacks from the surrounding mages. He chuckled wildly as he dodged the furious attacks of a guild that had lost one of their precious friends. He jumped as weird wooden feet and hands came from the ground, weaved in-between fire balls, dispersed smoke filled attacks, and dodged Loki's furious attacks as the countdown to Jupiter continued. "You guys better hurry, you have less than five minutes to defeat me before you all die."
Cana gripped her cards tightly as she panted from using her magic so much. "Natsu won't let that cannon fire. He'll destroy it before they can attack again." Surrounding cheers from the rest of the guild showed that they all believed in Natsu as well. Loki smirked as he stood before Vaya. "And we won't let him get all the glory. We'll make sure to defeat you as well."
"Your guild's groundless confidence, belief in your comrades, and anger at those who hurt them are some of the best things to come across." Vaya begin to laugh as power began to leak off him. "It's always these kinds of people that are the most fun to fight!" He appeared before a surprised Loki and smashed his fist into his stomach. "You'll be the second to fall in this battle to me Loki!" Loki skidded back and fell to his knees as he held his stomach. Instantly, Loki was surrounded by his guild members as Cana and Macao attacked Vaya.
He dodged Cana's random card magic and Macao's purple fire with an irritated face. "Don't get in my way humans, it will soon be your turn to fall as well, but you're going to have to wait till then. So…" He appeared between them and slammed down on Macao's knee and twisted Cana's arm. "FUCK OFF!" Two loud snaps filled the air as Cana and Macao cried out in pain. "Bastard!" Vaya smirked as he jumped away from them as Loki landed in front of them. "Don't touch them!" He shrugged as he stared in amusement at the anger on Loki's face. "They got in the way… and if you want to blame anyone, it should be yourself after all. How weak have your kind gotten after all these years. You can't even fight at this level. Or…" A smiled formed on his hooded face. "Could there be another reason for your weakened state." The look of surprise and anguish on his face gave him his answer. "Oh… I see the truth now. How intere"
He was caught off as a scream from the wizards around him told him Jupiter had begun to glow as magic power built up. "Tsk… just when I had finally found some fun, time had to run out. Oh well, at least I had some fun with this fool of a tool before he becomes totally useless." A laugh from Loki brought his attention back to him. "I told you, Natsu won't let them fire that again because…" A huge explosion echoed throughout the area as the Jupiter cannon exploded from the inside out. "he is Salamander, a comrade and fellow wizard of Fairy Tail."
Vaya watched the explosion as pieces of the cannon fell into the water below. His shoulders began to shake as laughter burst from his mouth. "Interesting, you guys are so much more fun than I thought you would be." He turned to Loki with excitement burning in his visible eye. "From now on the stakes in this fight are going to be so much higher! I can't wait to see how much harder you guys will fight!"
A loud rumbled followed his excited remark as the Phantom Lord HQ began to and the others looked in shock as the guild hall turned into a giant. Loki looked up in shock. "It turned into a giant." The giant's arm began to wright slowly as it formed a seal in the air. Cries of shock filled the air as many realized what spell was being formed. Loki looked at the spell with shock "Abyss Break, and such a huge magic seal. That spell could wipe out everything to Caldia Cathedral."
"That's right! You're not fighting for just the survival of your guild anymore, but half of Magnolia as well!" Vaya chuckled as rage showed on Loki's. "Come little Fairy, see if your strong enough to protect the town you call home." Loki charged forward as Vaya ran to meet him. "How can you be part of a guild that does these things?" Vaya dodged Loki's blows and struck back at him. "Didn't you hear me when I first got here? I'm no one's Devil, their just my tools to have a fun time here." Loki flinched as a blow glanced his face. "You bastard, you think this is fun." They broke apart and landed facing each other. "There is nothing more fun than fighting for one's life. I hope you guys drag out this battle as long as you can!"
"Stop!"
"Huh?"
"I'm the one you're after. Stop attacking the guild, right now!"
Vaya turned to see Mira disguised as Lucy. He arched a brow at her look before he turned to Loki. "Smart idea she had, but it won't fool anybody." Jose voice came from the giant. "Disappear, little Imposter. I knew that Lucy wouldn't be here. You would never put someone you were trying to protect on the front lines." Vaya frowned as he saw the depressing mood settle on the guild that had been so full of confidence and fight. "Hey, you guys aren't going to sit down and die now are you. What happened to the promising fight I could enjoy?"
Loki glared at him as he saw Mira's crying. "All you care about is fighting and killing. A person like you wouldn't understand the sorrow of another." Vaya smirked as he flipped Loki off. "The heart of another has no meaning towards me. Such trivial things will only drag down one's existence and causes them to lose out on his own life." Loki activated his rings and formed wind around his fist. "Your wrong, the heart of others is what gives us strength." Vaya ready himself for Loki's attack as he laughed. "Did I make you mad? Great, now we can finally get this fight star-"
"Mira!"
"Oh come on. What is it now!" He turned to see that the girl had been captured in the hand of the giant. An irritated look settled on his face as he turned towards the giant. "What the fuck do you think you're doing interfering in MY fight against these people?" Jose's rang out as he squeezed Mira in the giant's hand. "You should know I don't like people who try and deceive me. I'm just going to smash her to pieces as a lesson." An explosion near the hand interrupted the talk as Elfman came crashing through the wall.
Loki smirked as he saw the anger on Elfman's face when he saw his sister crying. He landed behind Vaya and swept his feet from underneath the surprised devil. "You shouldn't look away in the middle of a battle." Loki smashed his magic enhanced fist into his face and sent him crashing into Fairy Tail. "Loki! Don't help them destroy the guild!" Came the angry scream from Cana as she rested against a wall. Loki laughed nervously as he turned towards her. "Sorry Cana, guess I got carried away, but…" He posed as his glasses sparkled. "I was able to defeat him for you." A sweat drop formed on Cana head as she stared at her fellow mage. "Loki, this isn't the time."
"Nee-chan! I'm so glad you're Okay!" They looked in the direction of the scream to see Elfman crying as Mira stood beside him. "Looks like Elfman was finally able to control his full beast form." Loki smirked at Cana's comment as they watched the two siblings. "Phantom chose the wrong sister to mess with this time." He turned towards her. "Do you think the others will make it in time to stop the spell?" Cana leaned against the wall and smiled. "I bet they're wrecking the place from the inside out. And a certain mage escaped her bed and took off to join them." Loki widened his eyes in shock as he realized who she was talking about. "She didn't go to fight with those wounds did she?" Cana chuckled. "Erza snuck out after you punched that guy into the guild. You know nothing we say can stop her. We can only believe that she will be okay." Loki nodded as he looked towards the giant with worried eyes. "I know"
"What a poor showing Vaya, defeated by those weak fairies. I thought you would be stronger than that." Soldiers started pouring from the bottom of the giant as they raced toward the weakened Fairy Tail members. "I should have used my soldiers in the first place. Fairy Tail, feel pain and fall to my soldiers."
"He can't be seriously considering sending out his men when he plans to use that spell. He'll hit them too when he attacks." Cana staggered to her feet. "No, those things are only shades. Ghost soldiers created by Jose's magic. We have to hold on, Natsu and the others are still fighting and we can't give up before them!"
Inside Fairy Tail
Vaya laid in the wreckage of barrels as he stared up at the ceiling. Cuts were slowly healing across his face as dried blood coated the wounds. That actually hurt. He set up as he used his tattered cloak to wipe the blood from his face. His noise crinkled up at the smell of his cloak and looked down to see he had landed in barrels of beer. Great… just what I needed. He stood up and wobbled a little as he gained his Barings. He rubbed his jaw as his now uncovered eyes looked around the guild. This guild is finished… it won't last much longer.
He walked towards the hole he came in but stopped as he felt something pulse below the ground. His eyes widened as memories of what he was feeling came to him. Those foolish humans actually have it here under their guild. He knelt and placed his hand on the ground as he pushed his magic power out to get a better sense of where it was. To have my fun only begin and end so quickly is not what I want. He stood up as he memorized where he felt it was sealed away before he began to walk back to the hole. I'll play a little longer in this world before I allow him to end it.
Sounds of fighting grew louder as he neared the exit. He stopped before the hole to see that the fairy tail wizards were now besieged by hundreds of shades. A frown formed on his face as he watched the one sided fight. This isn't fun anymore… The building shook around him as shades began to tear it down. I'm through with this… His body shimmered as it faded away into green light. He completely faded away as the guild collapsed into a heap of rubble.
Phantom HQ
Vaya landed on the remains of a wall as he stared at the scene before him. The red haired mage that had blocked Jupiter's first shot hung suspended in the air by Jose. She wore a pissed off face as she screamed at him. "Damn You!" Jose smirked as he prepared to finish her. "I wouldn't struggle. It will only make it worse." He shot a dark wave of magic at her and looked in surprise as it was blocked.
Up on the wall, Vaya looked on in interest as the guild master of Fairy Tail had finally arrived. Now we will see just how strong you are old man. He watched as magic attacks collided between masters and sent shockwave of magic out. He slowly began to smirk as he watched the powerful display both leaders put on. This is exactly how I thought it would be like. Makarov grew into his huge form as he began to cast fairy law. Makarov will be the winner of this fight. But so will I… He disappeared moments before the light of Fairy law reached him.
[…]
A defeated Jose sat crumpled in the remains of his guild. He barely moved as Vaya appeared beside him with a smirk. "You have done well. Thanks to you, I was able to find what our lord was looking for as well as a fun guild to play with." He knelt down beside him and smirked as he reached forward and placed his hand on his chest. "Now I'm afraid this is goodbye. So I'll be taking my power back." Jose gave a scream of anguish as a green orb parted from his body and fell into Vaya's hands. He stood up and looked at the crumbled guild leader. "You were a better tool than I thought you would be. So as a gift, I'll let you keep your life… but I doubt you will see that as much of a blessing."
He turned away and lifted the orb up as he focused on it. "If it's any consolation to you, I'll let you know that everything will be destroyed soon anyways. Everything will come to an end soon." The orb began to glow as Vaya's body faded into the orb. "This is just one last hurrah I can have in this world before our lord is reborn." He completely faded as the orb shot off towards fairy tail.
Fairy Tail Ruins
Makarov stood before his destroyed guild and a covered body. "They really trashed this badly and… one of my children is gone." Tears begin flowed down his cheeks as he looked at his child. Around him, the other members were crying as well. Lucy was looking down at the ground in shame. "Lou-chan, don't make that face." She looked up to see an injured Levi, Droy, Jet, and Reedus standing beside her with tears in their eyes. "But, it's all my-" Lucy was caught off as Levi gently hugged her. "No one here thinks it's your fault Lucy." Tears formed in her eyes as Makarov begin to speak. "Lucy, one's happiness, sadness, and tears are everyone's here. That is what a guild is. We can't share everything, but we can to some extent." He turned towards her with a smile on his face. "You are a member of Fairy Tail."
Lucy began to cry as the others laughed as tears ran down they cheeks. Makarov turned and looked down at his child's body. That is the bond of Fairy Tail. Near Makarov, Loki's eyes widened in surprise as he felt the sinister presence from before hurtling towards the master. "Look out!" Everybody turned around in surprise as a green light shot past them and towards the master. Erza rushed forward as she tried to intercept the light. "Master look out!" A blinding green flashed as it connected with a body. "Master!" A scream of pain filled the air as the light disappeared to reveal Makarov standing behind a screaming Lucy. "Lucy" yelled Natsu and the others as they rushed towards the screaming girl.
Lucy collapsed to the ground as pain blocked out everything around her. She had taken the hit meant for her master. She couldn't let anyone else get hurt because of her. As her consciences faded, a dark voice filtered through her mind. Seems we meet again human.A brief second of recognition came to her mind before she passed out with one sentence ringing in her mind. It seems that you will die by my hands after all.
