Nero Raregroove
"The Oracion Seis? I've heard of them but only by reputation." Lucy, a blonde haired girl with a curvaceous body and large bust, stated. Her attire consisted of something similar to a cheerleader's uniform.
"Yes, they are a dark guild originally composed of six people. But they have an ace in the hole accompanying them." Mira, who changed drastically now. Her hair let down, a small front ponytail, high heels and finally a red dress with pink straps. She is no longer the headstrong girl she was before.
"Yeah but what can six people do? And what does one person matter." Macao laughed alongside some of comrades. Mira however interrupted them.
"They're strong, just because there are six of them doesn't mean they are any less dangerous. We're talking about one of the most powerful dark guilds ever." Mira was prevented to continue further as Makarov entered the guild.
"The Oracion Seis is truly formidable. We must defeat them for the success of this operation." Everyone stared at their master until Mira spoke.
"Welcome back Master." This made everyone fall down comically. Mira continued with her lecture as they all needed to hear the next part. "As I was saying, their ace gives them a major advantage. He is a dark mage who worked his way up the ranks, he is a true devil in human form and finally he has a bounty of 10 million jewels. The man known as Nero Raregroove." This made most of the members turn white. The more prominent members had sweat dropping their faces.
"That guy!" Natsu whispered to himself but Lucy heard it the same anyway.
(Flashback)
"Not bad kiddies. You took down Lullaby and my subordinates of Eisenwald." A masked man confronted the guild masters and Fairy Tail members after their victory against the flute demon Lullaby. He had helmet-like mask with a face plate, a black trench coat that was shredded at the bottom, chains around his neck and finally he wore black boots and gloves. (Think of Vanitas in Kingdom Hearts with a black version of Vergil's trench coat except it has been shredded at the bottom)
"Nero Raregroove." Makarov stated aloud, shocking everyone around him and making them feel fear at his name.
"Devil's Child!"
"Black Flash!"
"Fallen Angel!"
"The Agent of Chaos!"
Several people whispered out his various titles he acquired.
"Hehehehe. My reputation precedes me. I came here to see Eisenwald's progress, too bad they disappointed me. Ah well, thanks for taking care of Lullaby. Sayonara everyone!" He did a mock salute, only for Natsu and Gray to unleash their attacks.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Slash!" "Ice-Make: Lance!"
"Amateurs. Tsch." Nero held out his palm and absorbed the attacks, shocking them. He flashed behind the Fairy Tail trio. "Have a taste of your own medicine." Nero released the previous attack he absorbed and knocked back the trio.
"Bye bye!" Nero disappeared in a flash afterwards.
(End Flashback)
"We'll have to be careful with that man involved." Erza stated as they all had nervous looks except Natsu who had one of anger and confusion?
'That guy's presence felt familiar.' Natsu thought as the debriefing continued.
(Unknown Location)
"So we have four different guilds assembling to take us out? A challenge then." Stated, Angel, a white haired female who wore a revealing attire. Next to her was Racer, who had a blonde headdress and pointed nose. Beside Racer was Hoteye, a square faced man that wore a bishop-like attire and orange long hair. Beside Hoteye were Midnight and Cobra.
Cobra was a young man with a dark skin tone, purplish hair and he had a snake wrapped around him. Midnight was a gothic looking man with black/white hair and he was asleep on a levitating carpet. Standing behind them was their leader, Brain, holding a staff with a skull attached. Brain had six marks on his face and long white hair.
"Then infiltrate them. They will meet at the Blue Pegasus' Master Bob's palace." Nero appeared behind the members and made them jump up into the air in comedic fashion.
'How the hell does he do that?' They all thought except Brain.
"So unprofessional, maybe you guys should quit." Nero laughed at their faces, pissing them off to no end.
"Why you!" Cobra attacked Nero in anger but was knocked back by a spinning kick from the masked man.
"Predictable and..." Nero blocked Racer's strike and sent him flying. "...futile. Your magic doesn't work against me Racer."
"Enough Nero. We shall handle the main forces while you guard our guest." Brain pointed towards a casket that was stood up.
"What's with the casket? And did you say guest?" Nero stared at the coffin for a few seconds and then nodded. "Understood."
"Good, now time for us to make our move." The Oracion Seis moved out to continue their operations.
(Some time later)
"That was troublesome. Nero, we have returned with some guests." Brain returned with two new figures that Nero recognized instantly. Wendy who grew taller and had much
'What are those two doing here?' Nero recomposed himself and asked Brain a question. "What happened to the others?"
"Seems that the ambush was only able to momentarily hold them off. The dark guilds that are under our command won't be able to handle them I fear, so I sent my chosen five against them. It would seem the 10th Wizard Saint, Jura Neekis is truly a force to be reckoned with." Brain turned his attention to Wend.
"I want you to heal someone for me, then you are free to go." Wendy and Happy were shocked at this but despite being asked to by a much stronger mage, Wendy gave a look of courage. determination.
"No I won't do it. I am a wizard too and I promised my Nii-chan I would do my best!" Wendy took a fighting stance and was ready for a fight.
'What! I thought she couldn't fight?' Brain thought but soon had a smirk on his face. "Even if you can prove your ability to fight, do you really think you can hurt me?" Wendy grew a little nervous but maintained her form.
"You have fight in you, I give you that. But what if I told you that the person you need to heal is the one who saved your life." Wendy and Happy's eyes widened at this as Brain opened the casket to reveal a blue haired man with a mark on his face. This was Jellal Fernandes.
'Jellal is still alive?' Nero thought in shock as he thought the deranged wizard was dead. 'If he's revived then that means Brain plans on using Nirvana.' Wendy began trembling at the sight as she remembered how 'Jellal' helped her when she was younger.
'She's trembling. Wait, her hand are starting to glow. That means that she's actually going to heal him.' Nero watched as Happy screamed for her not to do it and told her about Jellal's crimes against his guild mates, however Wendy healed him as she felt she owed him all those years ago for helping her.
Jellal awoke as his body was rejuvenated by Wendy's magic. "WENDY!" Everyone turned to see Natsu and Carla arrive. "No way...Jellal!" Natsu enraged, charged Jellal with a fire empowered fist but was sent backwards by a blast from the blue haired wizard.
"Welcome back Jella...GYAHH!" Jellal sent a blast to Brain as well. He then looked over to Nero, who simply looked at his direction.
"Don't even think about it teme." Nero unleashed his intent to show he wasn't bluffing. Jellal simply left the hideout as Nero disappeared in a flash. Brain soon awoke and used Telepathy to contact Cobra to go after Jellal.
"Not bad Brain. Not bad at all." Nero managed to hijack Brain's spell and chuckled. He looked at the sky and said his thoughts aloud. "Show me your strength, Fairy Tail." He flashed away from his current location.
Soon, one by one, most of the Oracion Seis were defeated and Nirvana activated. With it, the one named Hoteye soon switched sides as Nirvana awakened his true self. Right now we see Natsu and Happy face off against Cobra and his pet snake Cubellios as the hovered above Nirvana.
(Fairy Tail Ost-Kurogane)
"It's no use, I can still hear your thoughts." Natsu smirked at Cobra's statement. Cobra once again read his thoughts and laughed, giving Natsu the distraction he needed. Natsu hit him with a Fire Dragon's Fist, and landed a strong hit.
"I guess Naruto-nii rubbed off on me." Cobra became enraged and both combatants charged each other. Cobra tried to hear Natsu's thoughts again but was hit by several fists by the pink haired man.
'I can't hear his thoughts anymore. How?' Cobra and Cubellios dodged another fist Natsu sent at them. "How am I unable to hear your thoughts when I could before?" He saw Natsu's smirk and was able to understand now. "Kisama! You were fighting without thinking at all!"
"That's no surprise. He rarely thinks at all." Happy stated aloud which made Natsu ticked off.
(End Ost)
"Oi I'm not stupid!" Cobra had smile and looked at Cubellios as they were amused by the duo's relationship.
"Your comedy act is getting annoying. Looks like I have to use my other power." Cobra had purple energy flowing around his body and his forearms becoming scaled with claws.
"Wait a minute. You're a..." Cobra smirked as he stood on his snake.
"Yes. I'm the Poison Dragon Slayer!" Cobra and Cubellios attacked the Fairy Tail duo.
(Cobra the Poison Dragon Slayer Ost)
Natsu and Cobra began to trade blows. Cobra was surprised with Natsu's speed increase but parried his attacks. He was able to land a solid hit against the pink haired man, causing a skin burn. Natsu hit his own at the same time and both tumbled backwards with their respective partners preventing their fall.
Cobra channeled poison through his legs and hit the charging Natsu who rebounded from his attack. However Cobra wasn't finished as he unleashed his own Dragon's Roar at them. Natsu tossed Happy away so that he was not hit by the attack. The attack hit Natsu dead on as he was diving to the ground, however Happy caught him before he could hit the ground.
'That hurt.' Natsu thought as he began to shake off the poison from his system.
'My poison is supposed to be deadly. How is he still able to fight?' He then saw a small amount of his poison being burned off Natsu's skin. 'So that's it, his body is able to generate heat that he burned off my poison. I have to finish this fight off soon.' Cobra winced in pain and felt Natsu's attacks.
Cubellios began to unleash a poison mist which Cobra consumed. His strength was replenished. He began to overpower Natsu with the other Dragon Slayer starting think of ways to counter which gave Cobra the ability to overhear his thoughts once again.
Cobra hit a barrage of poison enhanced fists as Natsu was hit blow for blow by them. Happy quickly used his maximum speed to escape from the onslaught while still holding Natsu. Luckily for them, Happy was slightly faster than Cobra's companion.
However whilst Cubellios was chasing them, Cobra fired another powerful Dragon's Roar at them. Happy narrowly avoided it but they hit a pillar that surrounded the center of Nirvana. It caused an explosion of flames which made Cobra smirk in victory.
(End Ost)
"They're dead. Time to return...What!?" Natsu ate the flames from the explosion and emerged with Happy barely lifting him above the ground.
(Fairy Tail 2014 Ost-Main Theme)
"I'm all fired up now. I wanted to save this technique for later but for you, well as Naruto-nii would say, special dai service!" Natsu and Happy charged, Cobra once again tried to read his thoughts but to his surprise he couldn't hear them once again. Cobra barely blocked each fist and kick strike.
'This time it's different, his presence feels different. He's fighting me with pure instinct like an animal!' Cobra was punched square at the jaw and even higher into the air. Natsu told Happy to take him above Cobra, the blue cat did so with the last of his strength as Natsu told him to go back to the ground.
"But you'll..." He was interrupted.
"Now!" Happy reluctantly did so as Natsu was above the falling Cobra. "My special move which I developed after Naruto-nii left. Fire Dragon's Fury: Hiken!" Natsu's fist became a brilliant orange color and enveloped his arm as it appeared it was never there at all. It became a brilliant fire pillar shaped like a fist.
"W-what? No! I won't be defeated by the likes of you! Poison Dragon's Roar!" Cobra used a fully powered roar, only for it to be overpowered by the attack. "GYYAAAHHHHH!" Cobra hit the ground, defeated by Natsu's Hiken.
(End Ost)
Natsu was beginning to fall himself but was able to use the last of his strength to spout flames and cushion his fall. He landed on his back tired, as well as motion sick. 'That spell took a lot out of me. That is why it's my special technique.'
'Fire Dragon's Fury? Looks like he still needs to perfect that technique but other than that, good job Natsu. Igneel would be proud of you.' Nero watched from afar and then started to walk away from the scene until he heard Cobra's scream of agony.
'What the?' He saw Brain dragging Natsu and spouting how he will turn him to his cause. 'His own nakama. I cannot forgive that no matter what.' He was about step in until Jura confronted Brain himself.
'Jura-san, I almost forgot about him. Looks like I'm not needed here.' Nero looked elsewhere and saw Wendy with Carla, looking lost within Nirvana's walls. 'Looks like they could use some help.'
Nero flashed near their location and walked up behind them. "Need some help?" Both females jumped up in fright.
"Okay who dare..." Carla spoke but as soon as she saw Nero she remained quiet.
"You're one of the Oracion Seis' comrades. What do you want from me?" Wendy took a defensive stance against him. Nero simply waved his hand at this.
"Calm down little Wendy, I'm not here to fight. Just came to tell you that your friends are over there." He pointed towards the location to where Jura and Brain faced off. "Natsu could use your help, especially with his motion sickness." Wendy's pupils dilated as Nero turned his back at them.
"Why are you helping us?" She asked with Carla flying beside her. Nero chuckled as he answered her.
"Let's just say I owe your brother Naruto." Now this had the desired effect as Wendy was now in complete shock alongside Carla. They would of asked more if Nero hadn't disappeared on them.
'His scent felt familiar but where from?' Wendy thought as she and Carla ran towards their friends location.
'Become strong Wendy-chan. Damn, the Seals' effects are starting to wear off. Better get out of here before I end up like Natsu.' Nero left the moving island as the victory would belong to Fairy Tail by the night's end.
It lead to the defeat of the entire Oracion Seis, with Brain, who reverted to his true personality of Zero. Zero was defeated by Natsu, who consumed special flames created by Jellal to achieve a state known as Dragon Force. This gave Natsu unimaginable power as Nirvana was destroyed, however with great happiness also came a great tragedy.
Jellal was taken by the new Magical Council, as was Richard. Jellal does not remember anything prior to the event of his re-awakening and Richard's true self was released thanks to Nirvana's adverse effect.
However the greatest tragedy would happen the next day, as Wendy's guild Cait Shelter revealed it's secret. They were illusions created to care for Wendy, made by their guild master who was also the one who created Nirvana.
(A few days later)
"We want all of you to welcome our new members. Wendy and Carla." All the guild members looked at the cute girl and instantly many went towards her. However it was not to last as Mira walked forward.
"Wendy-chan, is that you?" Everyone turned to see Mira with tears of joy starting to form. Wendy was confused until she got a good look at Mira's face.
"M-Mira-nee?" She said out loud which shocked the others. When Mira nodded, Wendy hugged her and cried. "Mira-nee! Taidama!" Mira hugged her back as the guild watched, with smiles on their faces, not caring how they knew each other.
(Unknown location)
An orb was showing Wendy and Mira's embrace to Nero, whose face was covered by the shadows. He had took off his helmet and placed it on the ground.
"Mira-chan, Wendy-chan. Fairy Tail, I miss you all but as soon as my mission is complete, I will return to you all." Nero's face was now uncovered, it was Naruto. He was still as handsome as ever but his blue eyes lacked the light they used to.
He picked up his helmet and put it back on. "Right now though, Nero Raregroove is needed."
