Hello. It's me again with another chapter for you all to either like or hate.
Another chapter for this story. See I told you all I wouldn't take forever this time.
…You all still hate me don't you?
…Okay.
Anyway, here it is.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners. Except for the characters I made up, like the Fel etherious.
Chapter Four: Extinction
"Hey! They're retreating!" Azlack exclaimed as he and the other Fairy Tail mages in Magnolia noticed the demons suddenly teleporting out of the city. This of course got the mages and the people who were still alive from the assault to cheer.
"We won then!" Macao shouted in joy, which was followed by the others as well.
"We only won the battle everyone." A voice got their attention, as they all turned to see Makarov with Mavis walking toward them.
"Master!" They all shouted, glad that he and Mavis were alright.
"We can't be too relax," Mavis then stated, getting them all too look at her in confusion, "While they have retreated here, no doubt they are still waging war all over Ishgar as we speak." The first master of Fairy Tail stated with a serious face. However the imprisoned Gast in the ball of light Mavis trapped him in decided to make his presence known to the other mages.
"Don't be a fool mortal," He started to speak, getting Mavis and Makarov to look at the trapped shadow fel etherious. This of course got the other mages present to notice the imprisoned demon, "Our forces wouldn't just retreat like that without reason. No doubt Lord E.N.D has something planned."
"Says the demon that has been defeated." Makarov responded, getting Gast to grit his teeth in anger from the small guild master's words.
"Wait a minute master, where's Kinana and Cana?" Wakaba asked the old guild master, as he and the others noticed the lacking presence of the purple hair woman and the brown haired woman.
Before anyone could say anything else though, a loud noise got their attention as they looked at where the ships that was still present in the sky began to go into a formation. However what caused the noise was that more ships were warping into the sky, as they all formed a line that stretched out to both sides in the distance surrounding the continent. This of course got them to be concern and a little afraid by what's happening.
"What's going on?" Romeo questioned as he wasn't liking the way those ships were lining up.
" Demon! Explain!" Mavis commanded from the trapped Gast inside the ball of light, whose eyes were widened in surprised a little.
"Interesting, I didn't expect Lord E.N.D to give the command so soon. Guess he got tired of waiting." The shadow fel etherious responded, which only got everyone to be more confused than anything.
"What command? What are you planning?" Makarov demanded an answer from the trapped shadow demon, who only grinned.
"Looks like you all are about to die it seems." Gast simply told them.
"What do you mean by that?" Mavis once again demanded an answer from the imprisoned demon. Gast simply chuckled which only got on everyone's nerve before he spoke again.
"What I mean is that Ishgar, the large mass of land that you are all standing on, is about to be wiped clean of everything alive standing on it. That's the only thing you'll get from me." The shadow fel etherious explained as he laughed once again.
His words however only got them to be shocked by what he said. Was that even possible for them to do?
"You're lying!" A voice got everyone's attention as they all turned to see Mest heading toward them. His sudden appearance got everyone to be surprised by his return, "There's no way you monsters have the power to do something like that!"
"Mest? What are you doing here? Where's Lucy, Natsu, Happy, and Brandish?" Makarov asked the black haired man in worry.
"Lucy and Brandish were taken to some unknown location by one of the demon leaders. Happy…," Mest stayed silent, not sure how to break it to them.
"What about Happy? And where's Natsu?" Mavis once again asked the former member of the Magic Council. Before Mest could reply, Gast beat him to the punch.
"Looks like the cat met his end by Lord E.N.D. Heh, end by E.N.D." The fel etherious laughed at his own joke. His words though caused everyone else to be alarmed and shocked by what they heard.
"Wait… you mean Happy is…?" Bisca began to ask, even though it was obvious that they now knew what happened to the blue exceed.
However, a large noise got them to snap out of their thoughts and words as they all noticed the ships in the sky began to power up, if the large amounts of fel energy they were sensing from the ships were any indication.
"What are they doing?" Mest questioned in worry, hoping that whatever the demons were planning wasn't too severe.
"Like I said mortals," Gast told them all, getting everyone to look at the imprisoned shadow demon, "You're all are about to die."
They all looked back at the ships in slight fear as the ships continued to power up.
'WITH THE MAGES OF FAIRY TAIL AND SABERTOOTH'
"Well now, aren't you all just brave?" Wrath taunted the mages that were on the ground below the hill Wrath and Vax were standing on.
Currently, the mages of Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Crime Sorciere, and the Spriggan Twelve members that are present right now were in front of the two fel etherious leaders, as they gave the order for most of their forces to fall back as well as ordering the ships to get into position on the edges of the continent.
"Just what are you planning?" Sting questioned the two demons on the hill in front of them with a glare that could kill.
"Well we could tell you, but I don't think Lord E.N.D would want us to ruin the surprised." Vax answered as the satyr fel etherious laughed, joined by Wrath as he too laughed. This only infuriated the mages that were present.
"Tell us an answer and we won't kill you." Bradman stated as he and his Alverez forces, well those that still remained, got ready to fight again.
"Aw that's just cute. One of Zeref's FAKE demons is threatening us like he's the boss." Wrath replied to his friend, who nodded as they laughed again.
"You will pay for your words." The etherious of the Spriggan Twelve threatened again. These fel etherious were really getting on his nerves.
"You all are clearly planning something, so tell us now!" Mira shouted at them before she continued, "There's more of us than there are of you right now!"
"And you think that matters why?" Vax taunted with a giant grin on his face, "Numbers don't mean anything if they don't have the strength to back it up. Right now you're all bark but no bite." The satyr demon laughed again.
"You won't get away with this!" Yukino yelled at the two demons, getting them too grinned.
However, before they could respond a new voice made itself known to everyone present.
"On the contrary, we already have." Both Wrath and Vax turned around and look up, only to smile widely as they noticed who it was.
"Lord E.N.D!" Both of the fel etherious exclaimed in a happy tone.
E.N.D was currently in the air as he was using his wings to keep himself afloat to look at the others below him. The strongest demon then landed right between Wrath and Vax as they bowed down to him.
"No need for the formality. It's good to see you both after all these years." E.N.D replied to them with a soft smile as they cease their bowing.
For the mages however they were shocked by what they were seeing. Was that Natsu? What happened to him? Why was he with these monsters?
"N-Natsu?" Lisanna began to ask in a quiet tone; however the three demons still heard it as E.N.D groaned in annoyance.
"Ugh not this crud again," The demon stated in annoyance as he turned to look at the demons below, "First of all mortals, I am E.N.D, not Natsu. Second of all, I'm afraid you all won't be hearing from that idiot for a long time." E.N.D replied to them all.
"No… that can't be true!" Mira started to yell back at the fel demon, "You're lying! Natsu! You have to fight his control-!"
"Oh for (BEEP)'s sake." E.N.D interrupted the white haired woman's shouting, as Wrath and Vax couldn't help but find all of this funny.
Without warning, E.N.D lifted one of his hands toward the group of mages, as suddenly Mira, Yukino, and Lisanna were enveloped in some sort of fel energy barrier. This is course got everyone else to be shocked from the sudden action. The three females were unable to move as the fel energy barriers simply floated to where E.N.D, Wrath, and Vax were.
"What are you doing to them?!" Rogue shouted as he and the other mages got ready to fight.
"Don't worry, they're in good hands." E.N.D replied to the shadow dragon slayer with a smirk, as Mira, Lisanna, and Yukino tried in vain to get out of the fel energy barriers.
Having enough of this, Gajeel, Sting and Rogue unleashed their own dragon roars at the three demons. However, before they could collide the three demons suddenly vanished, bringing the three women with them as the attacks simply hit the ground.
"Dang it!" They both shouted, as the other Ishgar and Alverez mages and forces were trying to process what just happened.
Before anyone could say anything else however, a loud noise was heard by them in the distance all around. This causes them to be concern and confused.
"What's going on?" Cobra questioned, as he noticed the noise coming from all directions.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Gajeel stated as they all tried to figure out what was happening.
'IN HARGEON TOWN'
"Why are the ships powering up?" Gray questioned the others in worry as they all noticed the ships that were all lined up gathering massive amounts of fel energy.
"I do not know." Erza answered as they all tried to figure out a reason to what was going on.
"Well we better figure out fast," Kagura told the others as she eyed the powering up ships, "If we don't figure out what's going on or do something about those ships, we could be in all kinds of trouble."
"But how do we do that? We don't even know what the ships are planning to do." Wendy spoke up as she didn't understand what was going on.
"Well we better do something!" Lyon exclaimed as they all continued to sense the energy being gathered by the ships, not wanting to let the demons do whatever they were planning.
'Hello? Can anyone hear me?' A female voice was heard, getting them all to be confused. However the Fairy Tail mages recognized who it was.
"Mavis! We can hear you. What's going on?" Erza questioned out loud, as the non Fairy Tail mages were confused as to who this Mavis person was.
'Thank goodness you're all are alright. As for what's going on, apparently they are planning something catastrophic with their ships surrounding Ishagr that will affect all of us.' The first master of Fairy Tail responded to them.
'How catastrophic are we talking about here?' Gajeel's voice was heard, signifying that his group can hear the blonde woman.
'I do not know, and I'm afraid that we don't have enough time to stop them.' Mavis responded.
"There must be something that we can do!" Gray replied back as the ice mage looked at the ships above them once again.
'I cannot stop them from whatever they are planning, but I can make sure we get out of it alive.' Mavis started to explain, getting the attention of all who can hear her throughout the continent, 'My body is still in Fairy Heart, and while it may be far away from us now, I still have a little bit of access to the magic within to shield us from whatever the fel etherious planned to do despite out distances away from each other..'
'Well how much time do we have?' Levy's voice was heard as she sounded both hopeful but fearful as well, as she didn't know how much time they have.
Just as she asked that, the ships all around the Ishgar continent began to prepare a large beam of fel energy from the front of their ships. It was visibly to those who were in the areas near the edges of the continent as the ships had a fel energy being formed in a large orb like shape.
The pure raw energy being present began to shake the entirety of Ishgar. All over the countries of the continent people of all ages were fearful of what's was happening as the very land was being shaken from the large amounts of fel energy about to be unleashed.
"Mavis!" Gray started to shout as the constant shaking of the earth began to take its toll on everyone as they tried to stay on their feet. Small pieces of rocks began to be lifted and floating from the ground, "If you're going to do something you better do it now!"
'AT MAGNOLIA'
"We need to hurry!" Makarov exclaimed at the first guild master of Fairy Tail, who was trying to collect enough magical power from Fairy Heart to save them from whatever was about to happen.
"Why do you bother?" Gast from his small ball of light prison, "You can't protect them all."
"Shut up you demon!" Mest shouted at the imprisoned shadow fel etherious with rage.
Everyone was freaking out as they were trying to steady themselves. Bisca and Alzack were trying to calm down Asuka who was terrified at the moment from the ships causing all of this havoc. Mavis started to glow a little as she was almost ready to provide protection to her guild and the others who were with them all over the continent.
She then opened her eyes to reveal them glowing a bright yellow as she then put her hands together.
"Please let this work…" Mavis told herself in a soft tone as she gave off massive amounts of magical energy, blinding anyone from viewing her.
As she did that, the ships from all around the continent fired their massive beams of raw fel energy toward the center of the continent. The cities and towns that were close witness all of the beams strike at one spot. And then…
(Cue "I say cry" OST from Aldnoah Zero)
The collided power unleashed a massive explosion that went on to cover the entire continent. Entire cities and towns and the people residing within them couldn't do anything as they were all destroyed and disintegrated by the large fel explosion before they could utter a single word.
From the view from space itself, one could see the explosion covering the entire continent as everything was consumed. Towns, cities, landscapes, humans, animals, vulcans, everything from the smallest piece of grass to the entirety of the countries within Ishar razed as the fel explosion devoured all.
And thus, when it finally ended, only a lifeless land remained.
Well… that happened. Don't worry; they are all alive… except for the billions of people that were just wiped out. So yeah that sucks.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
