Chapter 9; The second Fire Dragon Slayer! One-winged Demon, clash of warriors!
Time has passed ever since they took down the factory creating the chips. Jeff was also concerned about the mysterious girl so he started a call with Tempest and ask how the girl is doing
"She is doing pretty well, although she is still unconscious at the moment." she tells him
"Alright… keep an eye on her and make sure she is recovered from her injuries…" he tells her
"Got it! I'll do my best to do so." Tempest says and the call ends "kinda strange huh? This girl is kinda like Jeff in a lot of ways
"I'd say in every way, her clothes even resemble his… although it's odd that he would forget this girl, he says that she was found before but can't even remember her name. I'd say it's rude to forget someone!" Kaylin says
"Oh come on Kaylin, don't be so harsh… he would have mentioned her before but it's been so long that he is having a hard time to remember." Tempest tells her though they notice that she is waking up "Oh! Look she's waking up!"
"mmm… hmm?" the girl wakes up and sits up "w-where am I?"
"You are inside the Planeptune basilicom, one of the guest rooms to be precise." Kaylin tells her
"The basilicom? Is the Goddess around?" she asks
"Currently she is not, she and the other CPUs as well as their Protectors are working on getting rid of ASIC." Kaylin tells her
"Oh, I guess it can wait but I am looking for someone…" the girl says
"Who are you looking for?" Tempest asks
"Someone I've been with ever since Igniaus trained us and taught us, all of a sudden after he disappeared I also lost where Jeffrey went…" she says
"You've been looking for Jeff?" Tempest asks and the girl got excited
"You know him?! Where is he now?!" she asks anticipated and excited to see him
"Last time I spoke with him, he was in Lastation but…" Tempest starts saying and the girls makes a run for it out of the room "She seemed in a hurry…"
"I wonder if that girl and Jeff are…" Kaylin starts saying
"Uh let's not get to conclusions!" Tempest says
"Well I was gonna say that they might be a couple, although we never got her name." Kaylin says
Meanwhile on the ship to Leanbox
"Blaaaargh…" Jeff's motion sickness kicks in "Why did we have to go on a ship…?"
"I wasted my energy, so I have to rest. Sorry, Jeff…" Ruby says
"We can't let the girl's waste their stamina to fly us all over there if something big is happening." Isaac says as he rubs Jeff's back
"Ugh… I hate myself… I wish Tempy was here to give me her special magic to stop my motion sickness…" Jeff says almost about to barf
"Don't worry we are almost at the nation, so we can deal with the situation and return to Planeptune." James says and the ship slowly docks and they could see the destruction going on
"Aaaaah finally land!" Jeff says glad to be off the ship
"Geez you get way to excited after getting off transportation." Alex says as they start getting off the boat and they see a certain Underling ordering minions and Jeff instantly uses his roar with a bored expression
"The hell? What is wrong with you guys?" she asks
"Well the readers are getting tired of your appearances so much that it just seems boring to fight you again." Ruby explains "with these guys you totally are out-matched."
"Meh, at least it bought time for you all to get here." Underling runs away and everyone wondered what she intended and Vert gets a call about Planeptune getting taken by ASIC and forced Jeff to have Ruby carry him
"Jeff get back here!" Adam yells at him
"Now they have reached to far! I'll end their leader!" he yells out angry and flies towards the tower "I won't allow this anymore! They can take over our nation, but I won't let them hurt the people I care about!" the two get to the living room and see Kaylin and Tempest a bit beat up
"Ugh, Jeff… they got here without warning… and they took Histoire, they want the Candidates to go somewhere… not sure where…" Tempest tells them
"How dare they! They'll pay for hurting you both!" Jeff says angry
"Also… the girl went to Lastation, she was looking for you…" Tempest says and Jeff now feels curious about the mysterious girl but he has to find where ASIC took Histoire
"They may have gotten away, but they'll never hide their trail from a dragon's nose!" Jeff says while the eight Candidates are already going to the location needed and hurry to the spot
"There! It's Histoire!" Nepgear says
"Nepgear, Adam!? Wh-Why did you come here?" Histoire asks them
"Ooooooh! My cutie pie CPUs!" Trick says grateful to see the twins but they weren't glad to see him "Heeheehee… be not afraid, for I am here to play games with you. Come, gather 'round."
"We came here like you said. Now let the Fairy go!" Noble tells them
"You all get dumber and dumber. Why in the hell would we keep a promise like that?" Underling says
"Yeah, you're right. That's why we'll force you to release her!" Uni says
"That's what you think." Draco says having his arm out creating a ball of fire aimed at Histoire "If you dare make a move, then I will burn her to a crisp."
"Oh, no… Histoire… what should we do…?" Nepgear says confused at what to do
"They told you many times and yet you don't listen! That is something you need to work on Nepgear… with him able to do such a thing… we are at a dead end…" Adam says
"Now that you understand the situation. I want those cute little twins to come here and play a game with me." Trick tells them
"... go ahead…" Seth says "I know it is a bad idea, but just do as he says…" the twins agree and walk over "man, I really hope this is the right thing to do…"
"Damn, after all of this… can we even turn the tables now?" Mark asks as Underling walks to them
"It's time for some payback! But which to choose…" she looks between the two girls and the guys "I'll leave you guys alone for now, as for these two." she whacks the two girls with her bat
"Nepgear! Uni!" Histoire says worried as Underling continues her beat down although unbeknownst to the enemy someone slowly removes Histoire from the scene
"Don't worry Histy, we got you." Ruby says quietly while someone in the dark gets their attack ready as Trick asks the twins to join ASIC and the two shout not to do it
"Still got the energy to mouth off, do ya? Let's see how much longer your-" before Underling could finish
"Fire Dragon's…" they hear a certain male start saying "Iron fist!" and he punches Trick straight in the face causing him to smash into a wall
"What in the?!" Underling shouts
"You distract us… you took over our nation… you take our Oracle hostage… and you even…" Jeff looks up with a fire in his eyes "HURT MY FRIENDS!" the fires burning around him grow large
"Whoa shit, that is hot… he is crazy mad now…" Underling says scared
"What did you do this time…?" Adam says with half of his body covered in dark blue color and his hair spiked behind
"Nothing… oh damn I think I'm cornered…" Underling says surrounded by the 6 candidates
"You think your power scares me Dragon slayer? I doubt you could ever beat a humanoid Dragon like myself, heck even that Sky Slayer couldn't do a thing about it." Draco says and it made Jeff even furious "and now I will do so by taking you out and-"
"Fire Dragon's Claw!" A female voice shouts and kicks Draco across the room and everyone was surprised at what she did since the girls got there just in time "you dare lay a finger on Jeff, and I'll slay you!"
"What in the?! Two Fire Dragon slayers?! How is that possible!?" Draco asks shocked
"He wasn't the only one being taught that." she says and Draco flies at her and Jeff strikes him with the tips of his fingers
"You touch her and I'll kill you!" Jeff says "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
-Fairy Tail Natsu's Theme-
Draco gets punched in the face by Jeff and smashed into the wall and Draco kicks him away and smashes him into the ground
"Fire Dragon's Claw!" the girl's shout and kicks Draco off Jeff "Fire Dragon's Roar!" she blows a large amount of fire at Draco and Jeff charges in getting some fire into his system and takes his stance
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art; Crimson Lotus, Fire Dragon's Fist!" he starts wailing on Draco with multiple hits "This is for hurting Tempest!" he lands a blow with a hook punch "This is for taking Histoire hostage!" then punches again the opposite direction "and this one is for taking over our nation!" he then goes for a full force strike into the stomach
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" the girl comes into the collision and both combine their strengths
"Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow!" both shout as fire bursts from their elbows giving them both a boost in their punch and launch him with high force they made him burst straight through Trick and Draco laying on the ground "Flames on the right!/Flames on the left!" both combine the flames together "combine them together, Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" They toss a large ball of fire completely obliterating both Trick and Draco
"These two… they fought like a team… and destroyed me… after absorbing a Dragon to make myself… what I am… they are truly… Dragonslayers…" Draco says as his final words before disintegrating from the flames
-End Music-
After seeing the action the girls were amazed how well the two fought and their abilities being similar and the two look at each other
"It's been a long while hasn't it?" she asks him though he stared at her "aw don't tell me you forgotten about me…? Well this should help you remember." she then breathes a small flame in front of him and she smiles
"... Selena? Is that really you?" He asks her
"hehehe you actually remember me!" she says happily
"Geez, you didn't need to do that when Igniaus was teaching us…" he says to her
"but your Fire Dragon breath was so cute I just do it all the time to think about you." she says and Jeff has their foreheads have contact
"To think it's been so long since we last saw each other… I almost had forgotten those days…" Jeff says
"I'd hate to ruin this reunion between you both, but we still have a huge problem." Histoire gets their attention
"Right, still gotta get our nation back from ASIC." Jeff says "sorry Selena, but we have to cut this short!"
"Then I will assist you! I know you'll say it's to dangerous for me, but I've grown stronger than you last saw me. I'll help you." Selena tells him
"... honestly yes, I would have said that… but I feel like you will be able to help after what I saw you do." Jeff says and she was surprised to hear him agree "You are part of the family now, we will win this fight together."
"Aye! With this many of us, we can totally take down those evildoers!" Ruby says
"We really don't have time for introductions. Let's get somewhere safe and come up with a strategy." Adam says and everyone starts heading out although Neptune was feeling a little down about Jeff's relationship with the new girl that helped out
With everyone gathered they plan the next attack with armies attacking small forces while the CPUs go straight for CFW Magic, and the Protectors go after Deliara. Histoire asks for both Selena and Tempest to take care of any minor league enemies that get in the way
"So it finally comes to this…" James says as Deliara opens her eyes seeing the group
"I was wondering when you all would get here…" She says
-Fairy Tail; Main Theme-
"This is gonna be unlike the other times and we will prevail to beat you" Jeff says and goes in for a punch
"Foolish, you still don't know when to quit." She draws out her sword and swings at Jeff but it gets blocked by Isaac and he lands the hit on her knocking her back and James goes in for the next attack with an ice blast and she was about to swing but Jeff kicks her arm leaving her open and freezes her feet and Seth brings out his Thunder Giant and knock her to the ground "how is this possible? They are getting hits on me!" she flies into the air and targets Mark and instantly zooms past him like nothing happened but Mark saw what she did thanks to the Phantom Hourglass and block every strike she tried on him and then gets smacked by Adam and Noble taking aim and shooting her direct hit which she hovers and forms meteors and send them straight at all of them and Jeff and Adam jump on them as both Isaac and Mark fire a Light arrow piercing her, Alex and Seth using their strongest monsters and collide attacks on her and both Noble and James send fire blasts and hit her as Jeff gets close and goes for a kick but she grabs him and fly into the air "You fools think I will be easily defeated by the likes of you?"
"Maybe, when you make yourself a huge target." Jeff says and kicks her "do it now bro!"
"Ice devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow!" Adam makes a large bow made of Ice devil magic and fires a large arrow piercing through Deliara's chest
"Gaaaaaaaaah!" she screams in pain as it bursts and she falls down to the ground "So this is how it ends for me…"
-End music-
"It's over! We actually won!" Noble shouts excited
"With that done, we can finally rest assured." Alex says until they hear her laugh slightly
"What are you laughing about?" Isaac asks
"You all are so naive… the Demoness will soon be awaken to bring chaos to the world…" she says "even if I fade away, her reawakening will be assured and you will fall to her power…" she vanishes and they could see dark clouds starting to form above the Graveyard and swirl around and lightning appearing
With all the Demons of Destruction all defeated the Demoness now awakens from within the Graveyard. Can they fight and defeat the Demoness of Shadows? Or will Gamindustri fall into the shadows? Find out in the next Chapter, Brawl on!
